Loss Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 WWWF World Champion Bruno Sammartino defeated Waldo Von ErichI haven't seen any Waldo Von Erich matches, but if he wrestles in the same evil brawling style as Fritz, this is probably a really good match. There is a Bruno/Waldo match I'm going to be seeking out soon actually, so I'll report back on it. WWF @ Philadelphia, PA - Spectrum - July 26, 1980 WWF World Champion Bob Backlund defeated WWF IC Champion Ken Patera via disqualification; Gorilla Monsoon was the guest referee This is probably an excellent match, as I did enjoy their Texas Death Match, and Patera was really in his prime at this point. I'm definitely seeking this out in the future. WWF @ Detroit, MI - July 26, 1985 Ricky Steamboat defeated Don Muraco via disqualification Tons of Steamboat/Muraco matches out there. I haven't seen them have any blowaway great matches, but I haven't seen any bad matches between them either. They're a bit more methodical than they would have been had they had a match just three or four years earlier when Muraco was still very much in his prime instead of on the way down, which he was by this time. WWF @ St. Louis, MO - July 26, 1985 WWF World Champion Hulk Hogan & Paul Orndorff defeated Bob Orton Jr. & Roddy Piper This is a convenient time to ask this. What was the connection between the St Louis Wrestling At The Chase show and the WWF? I noticed you have results from a lot of Wrestling At The Chase tapings on your site, so I didn't know if it was just a shared talent thing or if the WWF eventually absorbed the territory. I know Crockett picked up Geigel's Central States territory around '86 or '87, but they mostly ran shows in Kansas City. WWF @ Philadelphia, PA - Spectrum - July 26, 1986 WWF World Champion Hulk Hogan defeated Adrian Adonis Adonis wasn't as consistent by this time, but I'd still be interested in seeing this, based on the Savage/Adonis v Sammartino/Santana cage match from around this time period. I'm glad it was televised on PRISM, as that means someone should have it. WWF @ St. Mary's, PA - July 26, 1986 (500) Was it St Mary's that stopped running WWF shows in 1998 when they changed their image or was that another place? I remember a big deal being made of that at the time. WWF @ Wichita, KS - Kansas Coliseum - July 26, 1987 (7,932) WWF World Champion Hulk Hogan defeated Randy Savage I was thinking Savage already turned babyface by this time, but I guess that was a couple of months later. WWF @ New Haven, CT ? Coliseum ? July 26, 1987 (2,859) WWF Women?s Tag Team Champions Judy Martin & Leilani Kai defeated the Jumping Bomb Angels Kai was really underrated. This was probably an excellent match, just like most of the rest of the JBAs/Glamour Girls matches were. WWF @ Las Vegas, NV - Thomas & Mack Center - July 26, 1991 Ricky Steamboat defeated Haku I remember Steamboat saying in an interview that he requested to go long against Haku at the time because he knew they could have good matches if they had more time. I wonder how that turned out. WWF @ San Francisco, CA - Cow Palace - July 26, 1991 WWF World Champion Hulk Hogan defeated Sgt. Slaughter in a Desert Storm Match I didn't realize they ran this gimmick around the loop. The MSG match featured fire and blood, so that's crazy if they stuck to the same format for the road. WWF @ Utica, NY - War Memorial - July 26, 1993 WWF IC Champion Shawn Michaels defeated Mr. Perfect Bret Hart defeated WWF World Champion Yokozuna via disqualification Matches that had the potential to go either way. I haven't seen Michaels/Perfect have that great match that I know they're capable of, but Bret has almost always been able to get something really strong out of Yoko. WM IX and X are actually their *worst* matches against each other. WWF @ Cleveland, OH - Gund Arena - July 26, 1997 (6,476) Steve Austin defeated Bret Hart If he pinned him, that's historic. Fully Loaded 98 - Fresno, CA - Selland Arena - July 26, 1998 (9,855) Triple H (w/ Chyna) fought WWF IC Champion the Rock to a draw in a Best 2 out of 3 falls match when the 30-minute time limit expired; the Rock pinned the challenger at 20:17 with the Rock Bottom after the challenger knocked an interfering D-Lo Brown out of the ring with the European title; Triple H pinned the Rock at 26:29 after Chyna interfered and hit a DDT onto a steel chair; the challenger had the Rock covered after the Pedigree when the bell ended the third contest on a draw I used to think this was the most underrated match of the time period. Rewatching a few months back, I realize how foolish that was. The booking/interference wasn't so much a problem, because they needed all the help they could get, and I still don't hate the match - it has a really nice, epic feel. I wish they would have given matches 30 minutes on the undercard in 2000 when they had so much fresh talent. WWF @ Cleveland, OH - Gund Arena - July 26, 1999 (sold out) Kurt Angle defeated Erin O'Grady Raw is War: Triple H defeated Ken Shamrock via referee's decision when Shamrock began bleeding from the mouth, the result of being hit by a car earlier in the evening by Steve Blackman Ahh, Ken Shamrock and his food coloring-filled condoms. WWE @ Pittsburgh, PA - Mellon Arena - July 26, 2004 Raw - included a segment with the Raw Diva contestants in which they had 20 seconds to verbally seduce Kamala; featured a bikini segment with the Diva hopefuls: Randy Orton won a battle royal; due to pre-match stipulations, he earned a world title shot for Summer Slam WWE Raw World Champion Chris Benoit defeated Triple H in a 60-minute Ironman match, 4 falls to 3; fall #1: Benoit pinned Triple H with a crucifix at 10:14; fall #2: Triple H pinned Benoit with the Pedigree at 28:52; fall #3: Benoit was counted-out after being injured on the floor at 31:10; fall #4: Triple H pinned Benoit at 38:00; fall #5: Benoit forced Triple H to submit to the Sharpshooter at 44:11; fall #6: Benoit forced Triple H to submit to the Crippler Crossface at 47:50; fall #7: Benoit pinned Triple H at 59:54 after Eugene came out of the crowd and fought off an interfering Ric Flair and Batista, both of whom came ringside minutes earlier and were helping to triple team Benoit, with Eugene eventually hitting a Rock Bottom on Triple H before pushing the referee back inside the ring to make the 3 count; after the bout, Eugene stood on the commentary table to applaud Benoit's win; as the show came to a close, Eugene and Triple H locked eyes as Triple H was still in the ring The Ironman match was a perfectly fine match - not really all that great, but not offensive at all. It was a little too methodical at times, but I thought HHH gave a better than usual performance and Benoit had one of his better showings of 2004. The battle royal earlier in the evening is really choice as well, with the Orton/Jericho battle on the apron at the end being really suspenseful.

Guest cawthon777 Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 WWF @ Philadelphia, PA - Spectrum - July 26, 1980 WWF World Champion Bob Backlund defeated WWF IC Champion Ken Patera via disqualification; Gorilla Monsoon was the guest referee This is probably an excellent match, as I did enjoy their Texas Death Match, and Patera was really in his prime at this point. I'm definitely seeking this out in the future. Sadly, this was probably a throw-away being that Monsoon played the role of the biased referee. I would like to see their MSG Texas Death Match from May. I believe it was voted WON Match of the Year. WWF @ St. Louis, MO - July 26, 1985 WWF World Champion Hulk Hogan & Paul Orndorff defeated Bob Orton Jr. & Roddy Piper This is a convenient time to ask this. What was the connection between the St Louis Wrestling At The Chase show and the WWF? I noticed you have results from a lot of Wrestling At The Chase tapings on your site, so I didn't know if it was just a shared talent thing or if the WWF eventually absorbed the territory. I know Crockett picked up Geigel's Central States territory around '86 or '87, but they mostly ran shows in Kansas City. I'm not too sure what the deal was. Vince started running there, to the best of my knowledge, a few days before 1984 began. The initial taping had Hogan, Piper, etc all making their debuts. McMahon ran some pretty good shows in St. Louis in 84. Studd / Hogan had a program which culminated in a steel cage match (found on the first Hulkamania tape) and Snuka / Piper had a strap match officiated by Lou Thesz of all people. WWF @ St. Mary's, PA - July 26, 1986 (500) Was it St Mary's that stopped running WWF shows in 1998 when they changed their image or was that another place? I remember a big deal being made of that at the time. You're thinking of the Catholic Youth Center in Scranton, PA. The W/WWF had run shows out of there since probably the Capital Wrestling days. WWF @ Wichita, KS - Kansas Coliseum - July 26, 1987 (7,932) WWF World Champion Hulk Hogan defeated Randy Savage I was thinking Savage already turned babyface by this time, but I guess that was a couple of months later. He was a tweener at that point. In July / August he had matches against both Hogan and Honkytonk. WWF @ San Francisco, CA - Cow Palace - July 26, 1991 WWF World Champion Hulk Hogan defeated Sgt. Slaughter in a Desert Storm Match I didn't realize they ran this gimmick around the loop. The MSG match featured fire and blood, so that's crazy if they stuck to the same format for the road. Their match from a Fresno TV taping is on one of the Hulkamania tapes if I'm not mistaken. Don't recall if it had blood or not. I imagine they went all out for MSG and held back to a degree in other cities. I can't see Hogan and Slaughter juicing night after night. WWF @ Utica, NY - War Memorial - July 26, 1993 WWF IC Champion Shawn Michaels defeated Mr. Perfect Bret Hart defeated WWF World Champion Yokozuna via disqualification Matches that had the potential to go either way. I haven't seen Michaels/Perfect have that great match that I know they're capable of, but Bret has almost always been able to get something really strong out of Yoko. WM IX and X are actually their *worst* matches against each other. I actually went to my second house show about 10 days before and both those matches were on the card. The first show I attended saw HBK and Perfect go to a 20-minute time-limit draw; the best match I can remember seeing live for a span of 10+ years. The rematch in July saw HBK go over with the superkick after Diesel tripped Perfect. Obviously the first battle was better. WWF @ Cleveland, OH - Gund Arena - July 26, 1997 (6,476) Steve Austin defeated Bret Hart If he pinned him, that's historic. Agreed. I can't seem to figure out if it was via pin or not. I wouldn't be surprised if it was; the WWF has a way of jobbing guys out right before they win a title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Alfdogg Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 I remember Steamboat saying in an interview that he requested to go long against Haku at the time because he knew they could have good matches if they had more time. I wonder how that turned out. Didn't he actually do long matches with Haku *against* management's wishes? I seem to remember reading that in a shoot of his.
