I know that tomorrow there are a lot of deals going through. I know we may not want to spoil things. If you could PM me your rosters for the database I will update it by April 10 which is hopefully enough time for everyone to debut their workers from trades and such.

Pretty great card here in Greensboro. I will say it again that Billy Robinson will always hold a special spot in my heart because I'm pretty sure he and my grandma hooked up. She tells me about him and always speaks of how handsome he was so she probably did some work on that back in the days when he was doing the Illinois AWA circuit. I'm really excited for Paul orndorff's opportunity here in Mid Atlantic I always felt like he was overshadowed in the WWF with Hogan and could really be a top-level guy. He is somebody who has the look in the Charisma to carry a company and here he is got a lot of different pieces to go up against. I'm still struggling to be in Austin Idol apologist I just don't know if he has any appeal to me. Everyone has done such a great job at building him but I just can't buy into it yet I don't know if I need to see more film of him recommendations are welcome. New NWA Tag Team Champions and rightfully so. The Road Warriors are an Unstoppable force and perhaps the immovable object wrapped into one and the current NWA. I also like Oles situation with JJ I still think that only has some UPS in terms of his career and ability to carry a match and an angle at this point and it could definitely be seen with the way that you write it. Ric Flair and Harley Race go the distance for an awesome contest to cap off a great card. The subtleties that you put into the contest really make it that much more exciting to read and more meaningful when it puts everything together. Fantastic card

I understand the frustration with feedback and I know I'm a big culprit of somebody that doesn't do it as much as I should. I can say that the last couple of months have been kind of crazy with buying a new house and juggling married life into personal fun things like this which is always a fun task. I know I block out time to sit down and keep up with people shows. I know that's the case for a lot of people that I think everyone reads Everybody stuff but we just don't always type things and I know I need to do a better job of doing it. The amount of hard work it takes to put into something like this is immense and I can only imagine how hectic it can make other people's lives as it does my own to try and keep up with what we're doing for fun on top of what we have to do for a living. I've been doing this roughly now for 10 years and I can say without a doubt that I'm having a blast with this game and the group of people that are working together. We have so many different facets that go into the world were creating and I understand the frustration that comes from not getting any Kudos when hard work is done. I think everybody can agree that we are all doing a great job and striving to put that down on the board in each post is something we could all do a greater job of.

I sincerely appreciate all the feedback fellas. I really appreciate the feedback being what I was driving for with the contests. Like Kevin said... Wrestling is interesting in knowing that something is/has to happen. So that does take away from it a little but then it is all about the presentation for it to be that much more special. Andre v Hansen was definitely something I wanted to make a big deal. Savage and Windham was utilized to catapult both men into the main event scene. Hogan and Dibiase was a capper on a very long 6 month feud in which they really one wrestled each other one on one once (that being here). I posted a follow up Prime Time to keep things moving forward into Phase 2 of the WWF if you will. I appreciate all the work you guys have done and driven me to create this presentation of the WWF.

WWF Presents: Prime Time Wrestling Hosted by Gorilla Monsoon, Jesse the Body Ventura, Gene Okerlund, and Lord Alfred Hayes -We cut to a scene inside a big convention area/banquet hall. Inside, you can see all four announcers standing by as they run through some of the highlights of WrestleMania II. We see a good rundown of some of the people who come by and what happens when they speak to the announcers. Tito Santana, The British Bulldogs, & The Hart Foundation -A nice little celebration with these five who all came out on top tonight. The announcers put over the new tag team champions and they say they are going to take on all comers. The Harts say they aren’t done with the Fabulous Ones… they will grant the rematch but this time Jimmy Hart won’t be involved! The One Man Gang w/ Slick -Slick puts over his $20,000 man! He talks about how he is going to invest that $20,000 to build up the army! He says he has got an offer on the table to take the army to a whole new level and he just might take it in order to make it brothaaa. Greg Valentine, Honky Tonk Man, & The Fabulous Ones w/ Jimmy Hart -Jimmy Hart isn’t happy about what has been going on here tonight but he does put over the Hammer. He says that Valentine has proven to be a contender and Hulk Hogan better watch out! The Fabs say they accept the rematch against the Harts! Jimmy then gets a message from Jack Tunney who says that he has a contract right here for the Harts and Fabs to face off at MSG on June 14th inside a steel cage! More on that next week! Curt Hennig, Billy Jack Haynes, & Sting -These three put over the big night of WrestleMania and take a moment to put down the Heenan Family. Curt Hennig and Billy Jack talk about their big wins while Sting says he is looking at 1986 as a breakout year for him. He has got his sights set on big things and looks forward to traveling the world and showing he is one of the best there is! Barry Windham & Bobby Heenan -Windham and Heenan come out…. Windham has got a huge bandage on his head but a smile on his face and a title around his waist. Gorilla asks where Rude, Bundy, and Fernandez are and Heenan comes right out and says this… Bobby Heenan: You know something Monsoon… I want you and the rest of the humanoids to listen to something and listen good. I know a lot of people come out here and call me names… they make fun of me… they make jokes at my expense. Well Monsoon… and all the humanoids… tonight that changed forever. I put it all on the line… I did what I had to do… I sacrificed the Family. You see the thing about families is that they come and go… a bloodline will continue until it stops… well the Heenan Family stopped tonight. Tonight I dug a diamond out of the rough and came out with gold. This gold right here with Barry Windham. The Family may be over but this is just the beginning. Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, & William Perry -Prime Time ends with these big three. Andre says he is going to be going to Japan for a while but looks forward to coming back soon. Perry says this night was as good as scoring a touchdown and winning the Superbowl! Hogan goes on a long tirade about WrestleMania being the biggest event in history and this is really just the beginning of Hulkamania! He says that it will start to run more wild than ever before and go world wide. He says that he will defend the WWF championship against anyone in the world! -The announcers put over all the excitement of WrestleMania II. Each of them says that Savage vs Windham was one of the best matches they’d ever seen and they really put over the tag title match and the WWF Championship match. They wonder what the future will hold for the WWF and look forward to getting things going next week on Prime Time!

I apologize about the lack of pictures. I had them all laid out but for some reason .jpg doesn't want to work on this board. Sorry fellas. Hopefully you can picture it all unfold!

Wrestlemania II Chicago, Illinois Rosemont Horizon Sunday March 30, 1986 We cut to the center of the ring where Howard Finkel announces the singing of America the Beautiful by Ray Charles! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrcyZ6wgJXw Gorilla: Welcome everyone to WrestleMania II! I am Gorilla Monsoon alongside Jesse the Body Ventura. Jesse, what a night it is here in Chicago for the premiere event in all of professional wrestling! Jesse: That’s right Gorilla Monsoon! Tonight is the night that Ted Dibiase puts it all on the line and puts an end to Hulk Hogan and bankrupts Hulkamania! Gorilla: What a main event that will be. So many great matches including three title matches. Jess… could we see some gold change hands? Jesse: I think we are all but certain to see it Monsoon. You are talking top contenders in each contest. I would guess that all three titles could change hands tonight if luck is riding high! Gorilla: Luck will have to be on someone's side… especially with this big battle royal coming up. The ring is filling up and so will someone’s pockets with $20,000 to the winner. Let’s go to the ring! $20,000 Battle Royal Participants: Bull Ganter, Honky Tonk Man, Manny Fernandez, The One Man Gang, Paul Roma, Hercules, Brian Blair, Jim Brunzell, Jim Powers, Brutus Beefcake, Sika, Shawn Michaels, Marty Jannetty, The Tonga Kid, Nikolai Volkoff, SD Jones, Sting, Steve Lombardi, Conquistador 1, and Conquistador 2 -A couple of big stories with this one as the ring is completely packed and there’s some big dudes in there. Sting surprisingly gets a great pop as does Bull Ganter while the One Man Gang is garnering some major hear. The match is a nice little 12-minute battle royal. The big men eliminating others are Bull and Gang who throw out the lesser known guys all leading to their showdown but hey have got their respective buddies behind them… the Rockers and Jim Powers along with Nikolai, Hercules, and Roma. That kind of sets the stage for a fun little eight-man while on the other side of the ring we see Sting with a big time elimination of Manny Fernandez. Tonga Kid is tossed by Sika who is then tossed by Sting all leading to Honky sneaking up and eliminating him. Honky shows off before turning around to a double dropkick by the Killer Bees sending him out of the ring to the floor. The ring then begins to clear with eliminations all leading to Bull Ganter in there with Nikolai and Gang. They double up on the big Bull while Superstar is outside of the ring getting the crowd going. Bull Ganter fights back with some big time rights and forearms before running for a double clothesline and the Gang holds on but Nikolai Volkoff goes over the top rope to the floor! Slick can’t believe it as the Bull is holding on but here comes the Gang from behind and grabs clotheslines him from behind and Bull goes over the top to the floor! The Gang has won the $20,000! Slick is going wild as the Gang is working the crowd. They go through the duffle with the money and then Bull comes back in from behind and nails everyone before picking the Gang up for a BODYSLAM! The crowd pops big time here for Bull who flexes to the crowd! -Jesse and Gorilla put over the big battle royal and talk about he One Man Gang winning the battle but the war with the Bull may have just begun. They put over the next contest with two bright young stars in the WWF but only one will shine tonight! Curt Hennig vs Rick Rude w/ Bobby Heenan -A pretty solid technical match with these two young studs. The real story is the build of Hennig who is just on fire right now. Rude gets a lot of heat but has some issues with Heenan who is yelling outside of the ring before Hennig fights back. We see Rude go for the Rude Awakening but Hennig counters it… rolls him around and Fisherman’s Suplex for the 3-count! The crowd pops for a big time win for Curt Hennig! Mean Gene is in the back with Greg Valentine and the Fabulous Ones. They are putting over their respective matches tonight. Valentine says that he is called the Hammer for a reason and that Dino Bravo is going to feel his full force tonight! The Fabs talk about the Harts and say they are just a couple of rejects. They couldn’t hang when the Fabs won the titles and won’t be able to lace their boots tonight! Lord Alfred is with Curt Hennig after his big win. He wants to thank the fans and he says that the future looks bright and he is going to keep bringing everything he’s got week in and week out for the fans! Tito Santana & The British Bulldogs vs Don Muraco & Demolition w/ Mr. Fuji -Another really fun matchup with some quick action. Don Muraco is really coming into his own with his character work while Demolition look to have an all new breed of nasty with Mr. Fuji. The Bulldogs and Tito seems to work well together and make a formidable team. Mr. Fuji tries to get involved but nothing doing in the finish with the Bulldogs fighting outside the ring with Demo. Fuji tries to do the cane gimmick but nails Muraco leading to Santana and the flying forearm and the 1...2...3!! Mean Gene is joined with Billy Jack Haynes who has got the ribs taped up something fierce. He says that he knows Bundy is big… he knows he’s bad… but he also knows that with Heenan he doesn’t have a brain! Tonight Billy Jack is going to chop him down like a Red Wood and go all the way! Tito and the Bulldogs join Lord Alfred to put over their big victory tonight. They say that it was just the beginning and they will be looking for more if Demo and Muraco want it! Dino Bravo vs Greg Valentine w/ Jimmy Hart -A pretty solid mid-card match with not too much juice but just enough flavor. These guys go about 16-minutes. Bravo has some power and strength but Valentine has got that little extra something special and puts it together. The finish sees Bravo going for that side-slam but the Hammer looks to get a low blow and Bravo goes down. Valentine runs with a knee right to the side of the head and then rolls him up with a handful of tights for the 3-count! Bravo gets up and he has got a gusher from the side of the head. Medics are out to help him to the back… We hear from Gorilla and Jesse who put over the night’s action. They talk about the big matches that have happened and the big matches that are yet to take place. They put over the three title matches yet to come and how we could see some gold change hands. They really pump up the Savage and Windham match that could steal the show! Billy Jack Haynes vs King Kong Bundy w/ Bobby Heenan -Surprisingly enough… Bundy is by himself coming out. Jesse says he got word that Heenan was with Windham getting him ready for the big match with Savage. Bundy and Haynes however put together a fun little 12-minute contest. It isn’t anything crazy… just enjoyable enough. We do end up seeing Heenan come out but it actually backfires as Bundy notices Heenan and then runs for the Avalanche in the corner but Haynes moves and Bundy nails the turnbuckle hard! Bundy stumbles backwards and Haynes picks him up for a big powerslam! Haynes with the 1..2….3!! The crowd pops! Haynes celebrates in a big way as Heenan just walks off. Billy Jack works the crowd on the way to the back! We cut to Mean Gene and Stan Hansen. Hansen is wild and crazy with his promo and puts over how he doesn’t care how big Andre is but he will slam him through the mat straight to hell tonight! The Hart Foundation are with Lord Alfred putting over the big tag title match coming up next. They talk about knowing that Jimmy Hart will play a role but they won’t let it stop them from capturing the titles and become champions… true champions… champions with Hart! Andre the Giant is with Mean Gene… nothing special but just Andre saying that he knows that Hansen is a dangerous man. He knows he will pull out all the stops but tonight, in Chicago… no one will stop the Giant! TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP The Hart Foundation vs The Fabulous Ones w/ Jimmy Hart -This is one we’ve been waiting to see since the Fabs showed up on the scene and Jimmy sided with them over the Harts. This one goes about 17-minutes and shows off the skills of both teams. Kiern and Lane seem to have become placeholder champions for this moment, but they do a good job of it so what the hell. They get some heat but it is really Jimmy Hart who gets the heat. He is the one riling up the fans and leading all the to the big showdown when Bret Hart making the hot tag to the Anvil who comes in like a house of fire. He hammers away with rights and lefts and tosses Kiern and Lane all around the ring. We see Jimmy Hart pop up on the apron only for Bret Hart to run and dropkick him off the side! The Anvil hoists up Kiern and here comes Bret with the HART ATTACK! The Anvil covers for the 1….2….3!!! The Hart Foundation are the NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! Bret and Jim go towards the crowd who celebrate as Jesse and Gorilla put this over in a huge way! Lord Alfred is joined by Barry Windham and Bobby Heenan. Alfred puts over the Heenan Family’s woes tonight but Bobby says that every wrong can be right with the 3 count tonight and he is guaranteeing everything that Barry Windham will walk out with the title. Heenan says that he has put everything he owns on this one tonight with Windham. He says that tonight history will be made and Savage will grovel at the sight of the new King of the WWF and the NEW Intercontinental Champion! Randy Savage is with Elizabeth and Mean Gene and he is HOT! Savage says he could break down the wall right now and take Windham out if he had the chance! Savage says that tonight it isn’t about the crown it is about RESPECT. He says it is not about the title it is about RESPECT! Savage is going to beat some sense into Windham and he doesn’t care what the cost is. He will do whatever it takes to show Barry Windham that he is messing with a man who has no equal, a man who has no fear, a man who is the UNDISPUTED WWF INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION… DIG IT! Andre the Giant vs Stan Hansen -A big time contest with some fun brawling around ringside. The crowd is getting more involved in this one as Hansen gets clotheslined over the rail into the fans! He even picks up a chair and nails Andre with it but it appears as though the rule book has been thrown out of the window. Hansen is able to maneuver just enough to get Andre compromised when he nails him into the ringpost! Andre looks to have hurt his shoulder and Hansen does it again! Andre slumps down as Hansen goes to grab the chair and comes for a shot but Andre gets his boot up and Hansen gets cracked in the skull and he is busted wide open! The blood is flowing and Andre is in a bad way. The Giant tosses him into the ring but Hansen has enough in the tank to attack that shoulder once again and Andre is really hurting now. Hanen is stomping and kicking and even goes for a bodyslam but Andre is too much and lands back on Hansen! We get a very close two count and now it is a sprint to the finish. Hansen gets up and out of nowhere nails that big lariat and Andre goes flying into the ropes and he is tied up! Hansen comes over with that cowbell and he nails Andre once, twice, and then a third time and now Andre has a cut above his eyebrow! Hansen makes a sign but when he runs again, Andre gets that leg up and NAILS Hansen right between the eyes! Andre breaks free and then starts to hammer away at the big Texan. Andre then goes for a slam but nothing doing as his shoulder is shot. Andre grabs him for a knee lift and a big bloody headbutt and he picks him up with his other arm for a one armed bodyslam! Andre then comes crashing down with a splash (Earthquake like) for the 1...2…..3! Andre is victorious but it is hard to tell here! What a fight! -We cut to Jesse and Gorilla who wipe their foreheads and put over the next match. They talk about both men and what could break loose here. Jesse Ventura says that the Heenan Family is due after the night they’ve had. One title has already changed hands. History could be made and Jesse hads to go against Macho but thinks it will! Gorilla says that Savage is due for revenge and tonight he gets it! INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP Randy Savage w/ Elizabeth vs Barry Windham w/ Bobby Heenan -This is one that we’ve been waiting for. So much build. So much history. It comes to a breaking point right here in front of this Chicago crowd that is going wild! We have three big parts of this contest. The beginning is the brawl. Windham is trying his best to get free but Savage takes the fight in and outside of the ring and he busts Windham WIDE open after ramming him into the ring post! -The second part of the match comes when Heenan makes his presence known by running away from Savage before Windham nails him with a flying shoulder block! It is Windham who takes control of this contest. He wears down Savage’s back and neck for about 12-minutes with Savage doing his best sell job. Windham is losing a lot of blood but Savage starts to mount a comeback but Windham breaks it down. We see a nasty back body drop and Windham drives Savage right into that mat on his neck in a bad way! Jesse says that he is setting him up! Windham then picks up Savage and gloats to Elizabeth and goes for a bulldog but Savage drives him off and Windham goes flying. Then we see Savage come with an elbow smash! Savage takes control of the third part of this contest and we are nearing the 30-minute mark! Savage comes with some big shots and the bloody Windham is trying his best to stay on his feet but then Savage comes off with the big double axe handle smash! Savage goes up to the top rope and flies with the flying elbow drop but Windham moves and Savage nails his elbow on the mat! Oh my! We have never seen him miss that elbow! Windham is slow to get up and he is gushing now. He goes to grab Savage for a piledriver but Savage pushes him over his back and Windham goes flying to the floor! Savage then goes up to the top and flies off the top rope Savage comes flying off with a double axe handle smash and Windham is down outside the ring. Savage rolls back in and he has got the count out but Savage doesn’t want it. He goes outside the ring and picks up Windham again and puts him in the ring. Out of nowhere Heenan runs and rams Savage into the ringpost! Heenan runs off while the referee continues to count and it is now Savage who is in trouble! Windham is a bloody mess and falls into the referee and he goes out to pick up Savage and put him in the ring. Time is running out and Windham looks to finish but Savage has got something left and he comes with a couple of big right hands and Windham goes down to a knee but then a LOW BLOW! Savage goes down and the referee didn’t see it! Windham picks up Savage and goes to the ropes... -SUPERPLEX! 1…..2…….3!!! WE HAVE A NEW WWF INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION! HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE! Heenan grabs the belt and he is crying! He takes the title and hands it to Windham who is an absolute bloody mess! Windham hoists the title high in the air while Jesse and Gorilla put this over in a big way! History has been made and the crowd can’t believe it! We go to a special video… -We then see a special video highlighting the Ted Dibiase vs Hulk Hogan feud. We see Dibiase return last October in the cage and all the men he has bought to take out Hogan but they have all failed as tonight they meet one on one! Mean Gene: Ted Dibiase, tonight is the night that everyone has been waiting for. You have said it yourself that everything you own is put into this one match. Everything you are worth is put into this one shot against Hulk Hogan! Ted Dibiase: That’s right little man… and don’t you or anyone else forget that I am the one who has beat this man before. Hulk Hogan… I am the rightful owner of that WWF Championship and you and everyone else knows it! You cheated me when you came into the WWF… you ran me out but then I came back with money and power…. That money and power put you right where I wanted you. Right here in the biggest event in the history of wrestling. Tonight Hulk Hogan you are going to stand in that ring with the best wrestler in the world and I am going to take you apart, piece by piece until there is nothing left! We then cut out to Gorilla and Jesse who give this thing all the hype they can. It has been an incredible night. It has been a historic night. Jesse says that with two titles changing hands… the odds are not in Hogan’s favor to win. Gorilla puts over the Fridge in his corner and the crowd here but Jesse says the Fridge doesn’t know the ins and outs in that ring…. The Bossman does. Jesse says there may be 20,000 people screaming for Hogan but none of them can get in the ring and help him. Gorilla points out that the power the fans give Hogan has helped him in the past and may indeed set him up for a historic night right here in just a couple of moments…. Right now Hogan is with Mean Gene... Mean Gene: Hulk Hogan… you stand here in the Rosemont Horizon as the WWF Champion ready to defend your title against Ted Dibiase. This match has been building for months… but it all comes to head right here… right now… Hulk Hogan: Well that’s right Mean Gene. I got into town a little early today brother and I was sitting in the back with some of my closest friends who were here to see this event. One of my best friends is Brutus Beefcake and he looked over at me and I had a tear in my eye brother and he asked what was wrong. I told him that tonight is a night when history is made. Tonight is a night that will be remembered forever. That kind of pressure can strangle most men but to me brother… it just makes it even more special dude. Tonight I am walking into this arena with 25,000 screaming Hulkamaniacs. I am going to be seen by millions throughout the world. Ted Dibiase… when you wear this WWF title it means just that much more and tonight brother… you will have to bring every single thing you’ve got to try and scratch the armor of Hulkamania. I have got the power. I have got the title. I have got the Hulkamaniacs. I have got the pythons. And WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN WE BRING ALL THAT AND THE REFRIGERATOR THE DESTROY YOU!!!! Mean Gene: Never before has a match meant so much… fans let’s head to the ring! We get some grand entrances from both men. Dibiase comes out in a swank white tux (Million Dollar Man Style) and enters the ring. Hogan come out with the Fridge and the crowd is absolutely rocking right now as we cut to Howard Finkel for the special introductions. Howard: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the main event of the evening. The match will be for the WWF Heavyweight Championship! Introducing first, he is the challenger. He hails from Vero Beach, Florida. He weighs in tonight at 235 pounds. With his bodyguard the Big Bossman. Ladies and Gentlemen… Ted Dibiase!! Howard: And his opponent… the champion! He hails from Venice Beach, California. He weighs in tonight at 303 pounds. Joining him tonight is the defensive great for the World Champion Chicago Bears… William the Refrigerator Perry! Ladies and gentlemen… the champion… Hulk Hogan! MAIN EVENT WWF CHAMPIONSHIP Hulk Hogan © w/ William Perry “The Fridge” vs Ted Dibiase w/ Big Bossman -This is what we came for and my oh my do they have something to follow. These guys don’t go but 26-minutes but man is it fun. We see Hogan start things off in a big way as Dibiase is flying around the ring. Hogan is sending him from pillar to post and looks for a quick finish but nothing doing. We then see The Bossman make his presence known with a nasty shot in the back with the Halliburton briefcase and Hogan goes down hard. Dibiase then takes that opportunity to run through and work over his neck and back. He is hammering down on Hogan with everything and even sends him out of the ring for Bossman to get in some licks! Hogan is fighting for his life and somehow mounts some offense but Dibiase is quick to squash it out and get back control. The crowd is starting to stir as Dibiase nails a nasty piledriver and then he says it is over. He locks in the Cobra Clutch and starts wrenching it in and Hogan is floundering. He goes down to a knee and Dibiase is screaming that it is over! Hogan’s arm goes up and down once. It goes up and down twice. Jesse screams that it is over!! Hogan’s arm goes up and then dow… NO! NO! NO! Hogan wipes his finger back and forth and it isn’t over. Dibiase is shocked! Hogan gets up and he hais Dibiase hoisted on his back and he rams him back into the corner! Dibiase is holding on tight as Hogan walks out but then goes into another corner and the referee gets DESTROYED! Both men are down as the Bossman gets in the ring and he starts to revive Dibiase before stomping on Hogan. Bossman picks up Hogan and SLAMS him down but this just fires up the Fridge who jumps in the ring and goes face to face with Bossman. The crowd is rocking as Bossman nails a couple of forearms and then tosses him to the ropes but he goes for a clothesline and Fridge ducks… hits the ropes… and BOOM! He nails the Bossman who sells like a million dollars and goes flying out of the ring to the floor! The crowd is going nuts as Dibiase gets in the Fridge’s face but Fridge tells him to turn around and Hogan is there with a couple of big right hands and then he tosses him to the ropes and big boot! Dibiase stumbles but then Hogan comes with the AXE BOMBER! The big leg drop! 1…..2……..3!!!! HOGAN HAS WON IT! -Hogan and Fridge start to pose for the crowd and Dibiase is rolled out of the ring and carried to the back by Bossman. Jesse and Gorilla put this over in the biggest way. They talk about Prime Time tomorrow and say they will have the WrestleMania wrap up on Prime Time! They will speak to some of the winners and go over all the happenings. The scene closes with Hogan and Fridge posing big for the fans with the WWF Championship! Thank you for joining us for WrestleMania II!

Dino Bravo vs The Honky Tonk Man w/ Jimmy Hart -Another fun contest with Honky and Bravo. Honky has some good psychology but can’t carry the contest too well. Bravo lugs around but he has got some pop. We see Valentine come out and try to serve as a distraction but it ends up costing Honky as Valentine gets up on the apron but Bravo ducks and Honky nails heads with him before Bravo grabs him for the Full Nelson Slam! 1...2…..3!!! Bravo is the winner and it is Valentine who has got egg on his face! -Jimmy Hart jumps over on commentary as he is going by Valentine, Honky, and the Fabs. they put over their WrestleMania matches this weekend.

Honky says he is going to shake, rattle, and roll his way to $20,000 and he is going to put everyone on dream street! *COMMERCIAL* -We cut to a special video of Stan Hansen who is cutting a scathing promo on Andre the Giant. He runs him down and says he may be big but he sure is dumb! He says he is going to show Andre his own blood and there is no way in the world that Andre can put him down! -We come back to the arena and the crowd explodes when we hear Hulk Hogan’s music but he is not alone! -Hogan comes out with the Fridge… no Mr. T sorry. Hogan and Fridge throw it on the line about the match with Ted Dibiase. Hogan says he has brought everything he needs to back him up and there is no way that the big nasty bossman is going to be able to stop him from doing his thing! We then see Dibiase and Bossman come out… We have a ton of WWF officials out here with referees. Even Gorilla leaves the broadcast spot to get in between things. Hogan and Fridge jump into the ring and welcome in Dibiase and Bossman! Jesse is going wild for this on commentary as Dibiase and Bossman get in and we see a quick choreographed spot where Fridge and Hogan duck clotheslines but then come with their own sloppy ones back and Dibiase and Bossman go out of the ring to the floor! Hogan rips his shirt off and rips off the shirt of the Fridge as they pose to the crowd! The crowd is going wild as Dibiase and Bossman head to the back and they are not happy! *COMMERCIAL* -Prime time is back with Gorilla and Jesse putting over what we just saw!

On the other side, we see Nikolai show off some skills while Roma and Hercules are really a good pairing. It is the One Man Gang who shines and we see some chaos but it is the Gang who hits Powers with a huge powerslam and 747 for the 1...2...3! Slick’s guys celebrate for the time being before Bull and the Rockers get revenge and knock them over the top to the floor! We will be back with the final WrestleMania run down! *COMMERCIAL* Prime Time is back with Gorilla and Jesse putting over WrestleMania one more time.

Randy Savage: I got something to say. I have got something to say to Barry Windham and the Heenan Family. Let me be honest for a moment. At the King of the Ring I was blinded by the light. I didn’t see it coming that Barry Windham would join that weasel Bobby Heenan. I didn’t think he would stoop to that level. Well Barry Windham, I know your tricks now. I know what your capable of doing. At WrestleMania… this title is on the line. This is a title that I have defended for over a year. I have faced every top contender in the WWF and the world and I have walked out Champion! Those were wrestling matches when I defended this title. When I see you this Sunday… it isn’t going to be a wrestling match… ITS GONNA BE A FIGHT! I have said it since it was announced… I am coming for you with everything I have got! Blood, Sweat, Tears, everything I’ve got! Windham...you bring every family member you got down there and I am going to knock them all down and brother I am going to put this elbow right here RIGHT THROUGH YOUR HEART! DIG IT! -A big pop here for Savage as the crowd is doing wild! Gorilla and Jesse put it over. WrestleMania is this Sunday… GET PUMPED!

Haku/Tonga becoming a major name here has been a true highlight of your booking. You have done a great job at taking a character and making them more and more meaningful.

Road Warriors get a win but not the titles. That can only set up more in the future for them. I am also not sleeping on Lex Luger in his position to be poised for big things here in the UWF. Also don't forget about the Rock N Roll who can get right into title contention with a double dropkick. Very fun happenings here.

Again, I love the build of Bam Bam as he is getting more hype throughout the world than any other athlete. Here is has got the makings to be the staple of the promotion.

I like the little differences here with Wild West. I am in the middle on the cage interference. If it is the one off then I am on the side of a no go but if it leads to more then it is the right kind of shock to make an impact.

Roddy, Ricky, and Roberts all on top... I hope that Spiveymania can survive it all the while Bock has some control. I am wondering how a guy like Sarge or Adams can make a name for themselves in a very stacked AWA right now.

World Class has got some big things going on. I have hyped up Studd more than anyone and he proves to be a big draw. I like that he can still be a chicken shit while also being the biggest man in the promotion. I also like the Horner win. Everyone knows he had talent but just needed the push... now he gets a little which could turn into a lot!

WWF Notes It looks like the final card for WrestleMania II has been released after this week's Prime Time and it goes as follows... WrestleMania II WWF CHAMPIONSHIP Hulk Hogan © w/ William Perry vs Ted Dibiase w/ Big Bossman INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP Randy Savage © w/ Elizabeth vs Barry Windham w/ Bobby Heenan TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP The Hart Foundation vs The Fabulous Ones © w/ Jimmy Hart Andre the Giant vs Stan Hansen Billy Jack Haynes vs King Kong Bundy w/ Bobby Heenan Curt Hennig vs Rick Rude w/ Bobby Heenan Dino Bravo vs Greg Valentine w/ Jimmy Hart Tito Santana & The British Bulldogs vs Sika & Demolition w/ Mr. Fuji $20,000 Battle Royal Bull Ganter, One Man Gang, Nikolai Volkoff, Paul Roma, Hercules, Manny Fernandez, Jim Powers, Shawn Michaels, Marty Jannetty, Honkytonk Man, Sika, Sting, The Tonga Kid, Brutus Beefcake, Brian Blair, & Jim Brunzell, and others Not too many surprises here in terms of extra matches. Each of the contests does have some backstory to it. One source inside of the WWF pointed out how the matches aren't all set to be feud enders but rather feud continuers... whatever that word means. Long story short, matches like Tito and the Dogs vs Muraco and Demo is going to be an ongoing feud over the next couple of months while many expect Andre and Hansen to be the one off. We did see a couple of tag team encounters with Hansen and Dibiase vs Hogan and Andre but in terms of one on one this will be it. Lots of rumors surrounding King Kong Bundy who has been vocal that he wanted the Andre match and the payoff that went with it. He came back to the WWF to be a top guy and has been positioned in an upper card spot but not a main event which has upset the big guy. Rude and Fernandez have also had some issues as they wanted to be a full-time tag team but WWF officials have not wanted to go in that direction with the other members of the roster. ​Speaking of tag teams... the Killer Bees showed up this week on syndication and will be at WrestleMania but some have already heard they are upset about their positioning. The WWF is high on a new tandem of Sting and Tonga Kid while teams like the Harts, Rockers, and Bulldogs all get some great shine on television. Perhaps one of the biggest stories out of this week is that Hulk Hogan has been a key point in doing some cross promotion with the JWA and WWF. Hogan and Andre are HUGE draws in Japan and have been signed up for some tours but how does this affect their WWF schedules? I know one of the dates is a SNME... will Hogan miss a big taping like that? Will he even be the champion? There are some rumors going around that the time is now for Ted Dibiase and while it may not be at WrestleMania... but Hogan could lose that title to him soon!

WWF Presents: Prime Time Wrestling Hosted by Gorilla Monsoon & Jesse the Body Ventura Matches from: Providence, RI – Civic Center Prime Time opens this week with Gorilla and Jesse running down the WrestleMania card and how tonight we will have the final card released. They are welcomed in by Mr. Fuji who is with Don Muraco & Demolition. They say they are going to be in the corner of Sika tonight as he goes up against Tito Santana. Fuji announces that Sika will be in the $20,000 battle royal! We cut to the ring! Tito Santana vs Sika w/ Mr. Fuji -Well Sika isn’t the only one here alone… Tito brings out the British Bulldogs to help with the odds. This one is pretty fun for the crowd as the fighting starts to go all over the area. The finish sees Demo and Muraco getting involved only for the Bulldogs to help things. The finish sees Santana hit the flying forearm but the big man goes back through the ropes. Tito then hits the ropes and comes with a flying dropkick and Sika goes flying off of the apron into Demolition and Muraco! All four men are laid out while the referee counts to 10 and Santana gets the win. He and the Bulldogs celebrate and head over to the announce table. Tito and the Bulldogs put over the big win tonight and say they have challenged the team of Muraco and Demolition to a six-man tag at WrestleMania! Fuji comes over and accepts and we have got another big one signed! *COMMERCIAL* Prime time is back and we see the team of Brian Blair and Jim Brunzell… the Killer Bees! They are back in the WWF and put over traveling throughout the country and battling some of the top teams in the country. They put over how the best tag team competition in the world is right here in the WWF and they are looking to challenge any and all comers. The Rockers vs Los Conquistadors -A really fun contest for the Rockers who will be in eight-man tag team action in next week’s main event. They will join Bull Ganter and Jim Powers in taking on Slick’s Army of One Man Gang, Nikolai Volkoff, Hercules, & Paul Roma! Tonight they handle Los Conquistadors with ease and hit a big double fist drop for the victory! We then see Slick’s Army come out and put over the big eight-man next week! They also put over the $20,000 battle royal and say that they have the best chances to walk out with the money and to make sure that everyone knows their place! *COMMERCIAL* Prime Time is back with Ted Dibiase and Big Bossman. They are putting over the WrestleMania main event with Hulk Hogan. Dibiase says he has taken every dollar he had left and put everything on himself to win at WrestleMania. He says it isn’t a gamble when he knows the outcome and that Hulk Hogan is going to pay the ultimate price in Chicago. Speaking of Chicago, Ted Dibiase has got the Big Bossman to make sure that that oversized punk William Perry doesn’t get involved! He is going to secure law and order the right way along with making sure that everyone understands that his reign as WWF champion will be one that no one will ever forget. Gorilla and Jesse put over how next week we will see Hulk Hogan here on the show and he will have William Perry with him! *COMMERCIAL* Prime Time is back with Billy Jack out here with Hennig, Sting, and Tonga Kid. Billy Jack is lined up to take on King Kong Bundy at WrestleMania and he says the ribs will be healed. Curt Hennig is set to show Rick Rude why he is the perfect wrestler! Sting and Tonga Kid are going to be in the $20,000 Battle Royal and are looking to help each other out until it comes to the end and then it is every man for himself! The crowd then erupts when Randy Savage comes out and he is on fire. He is running down Barry Windham and says that he is coming for Windham! He is going to make sure that he feels the pain! He may have lost the crown but he will not lose the title and he will never lose Elizabeth. Savage is going to stay on and you can tell Jesse is pumped to do commentary with him... SIX MAN TAG Curt Hennig, Sting, & Tonga Kid w/ Billy Jack Haynes vs King Kong Bundy, Rick Rude, & Manny Fernandez w/ Bobby Heenan -A HOT main event with some of the brightest stars in the WWF right now and a lot of stories going into it. There is a lot of taunting with Bundy right now as he is making gestures at Haynes who has the busted ribs. The highlight of the night is seeing a slick ass exchange between Rude and Hennig and they catch as catch can pretty hot before we then cut to Sting who comes in like a house of fire. He is so green but damn he has got SO much energy when he runs inside that ring. He brings some big time power but he is run down by the big King Kong Bundy. The Heenan Family has the cohesion but the energy of the babyfaces is enough to drive them tonight. The finish sees Haynes pulls the ropes down on Bundy who goes flying out of the ring to the floor! Sting with another death defying leap over the top rope and landing on the big man. This all leads to Tonga Kid hitting the ropes and nailing a flying headbutt on Fernandez who runs into a German Suplex with a bridge from Hennig for the 1...2….3!! The crowd goes nuts here with the HOT finish as Sting, Hennig, and Tonga all celebrate with Billy Jack in the ring. The crew all celebrate and work the crowd… *COMMERCIAL* Prime Time returns with Gorilla, Jesse, and Savage who are putting over the final WrestleMania II card... WrestleMania II WWF CHAMPIONSHIP Hulk Hogan © w/ William Perry vs Ted Dibiase w/ Big Bossman INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP Randy Savage © w/ Elizabeth vs Barry Windham w/ Bobby Heenan TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP The Hart Foundation vs The Fabulous Ones © w/ Jimmy Hart Andre the Giant vs Stan Hansen Billy Jack Haynes vs King Kong Bundy w/ Bobby Heenan Curt Hennig vs Rick Rude w/ Bobby Heenan Dino Bravo vs Greg Valentine w/ Jimmy Hart Tito Santana & The British Bulldogs vs Sika & Demolition w/ Mr. Fuji $20,000 Battle Royal Bull Ganter, One Man Gang, Nikolai Volkoff, Paul Roma, Hercules, Manny Fernandez, Jim Powers, Shawn Michaels, Marty Jannetty, Honkytonk Man, Sika, Sting, The Tonga Kid, Brutus Beefcake, Brian Blair, & Jim Brunzell, and others.... Randy Savage then jumps back on and promises everyone that he is going to make Windham respect him at WrestleMania. Bobby Heenan then comes out and says Savage is a real big man for calling out Windham when he isn’t here! Savage jumps over the announce desk and he is looking to go after the Brain but out of the shadows comes Windham! He nails Savage with a chop block taking out the knee! Windham starts to stomp and kick away with Heenan as they are tearing after Savage. Here come agents and officials to try and break things up as the crowd is irate! Gorilla and Jesse put over the Mania Card and this. They talk about the big eight-man next week!

Only thing I'd do different is bold the match title rather than ALL CAPS. But that is just a personal preference. Good job getting Martel and Nikita ready for the big stage. My money is on Nikita to take the title and be the man in the NWA. There is no better time than now for him. 86 was a great year for him. He's had a Hogan feud. He is in the limelight. NOW IS THE TIME FOR MOTHER RUSSIA!

I cannot express how fun it is to have a team like the Steiners flourishing down here and prepping for an eventual WWF run. They are in such good hands and I know that is an essential piece to our working agreement. They are currently booked out until July 1st and will be taking down names and numbers to being available to other promotions on request. Contact the WWF booking office for details!

I really like the push of Bam Bam throughout the world. He is a true talent and being treated as such in our world. It is really fun to see how the names like Misawa, Kawada, Chono, and Muta are intertwining at this point in their careers. A truly special opportunity for you with the JWA.

I like the touch of the locations with your talent. It is something to make note of with certain guys and you're doing it the right way here. Piper is destined for some big things here in the AWA and certainly won't get lost in the shuffle.

This card is really shaping up. I look forward to seeing how it shakes out.
