thebrainfollower Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Going through GC's site for 85 results to fill a bored afternoon I came across this listing. WWF @ Westwood, NJ - Pasckack High School - January 8, 1985 Charlie Fulton defeated Rene Goulet SD Jones defeated Mr. Fuji Hillbilly Jim defeated Jose Luis Rivera The Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff defeated the Wild Samoans Don Muraco defeated Tito Santana Mike Rotundo fought Adrian Adonis to a draw Barry Windham defeated Dick Murdoch Paul Orndorff defeated the Tonga Kid via count-out Jimmy Snuka defeated Bob Orton Jr. via disqualification WWF World Champion Hulk Hogan defeated Roddy Piper via disqualification Now here's the thing. This is a high school card. A freaking high school. And yet other than WM and the Wrestling Classic I think you could easily make a case that this is the most star studded card all year round. Hogan-Piper in a high school. Santana, Muraco, Snuka, Orton, Sheik, Volkoff, Windham, Murdoch, Rotundo, Adonis. Heck other than Andre, JYD, Studd and Valentine this is the entire top roster of the time. About the only theory I have is Vince needed some money to pay his WM celebs in advance, went to the Mafia for it, and somebody wanted his kids high school to have the granddaddy of all shows to show off to his friends.

It could have been a Field House at a High School. Our Field House at my High School, (also in Jersey) was fucking gigantic. I d imagine there were a few more like mine. This show was in Bergen County, which is a wealthy area near NYC, so the "family influence" theory may hold water, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khawk20 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Whoa, not only did SD Jones get a win, he beat Mr. Fuji! Charlie Fulton over Rene Goulet sticks out, too. Sheik/Volkoff over the Samoans? Did they face each other on Afa's way out? Is this the only match between the two teams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This show was in Bergen County, which is a wealthy area near NYC, so the "family influence" theory may hold water, It's still considerably more stacked then the A-shows were back then. It's definitely weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
