WWF Presents: Wrestling Challenge

Hosted By: Gorilla Monsoon & Bobby the Brain Heenan
Matches from: Allentown, PA – Agricultural Hall


Manny Fernandez defeated Mike Jacobs

-A good showcase for Fernandez who is a real powerhouse out there. He handles Jacobs with ease and Heenan even gives him some credit. Fernandez hits a big flying forearm for the finish.


Bull Ganter & Superstar Graham defeated John Hawk & Lance Wayne

-The Bull is getting more and more hype as the weeks go on. Superstar Graham is helping him get over and he has got the look which helps. Ganter continues to showcase his power with a big time reverse powerslam for the 3-count. These two throw up the double guns for the fans and work the crowd!


The Mercenaries w/ Mr. Fuji defeated Barry Horowitz & Bob Bradley

-Kareem & Akeem are the two Mercenaries here with Mr. Fuji. He has paid a big price for these two big monsters. They destroy these two and it is Kareem with a bodyslam (falling forward ala Mark Henry) and then Akeem runs and BIG SPLASH for the 3-count. These guys are big time and could really take the WWF by force given the right opportunity.


Greg Valentine, Honkytonk Man, & Jim Neidhart w/ Jimmy Hart defeated Rock Johnson, Bryan Steele, & James Monroe

-Another fun six-man tag team match but once against we see Honky and Valentine not tagging in Jim Neidhart. This draws some interest when Bret Hart walks out to a little pop from the crowd. He pulls Neidhart down and they argue with Jimmy for a moment before walking up the aisle. This doesn’t overly affect the contest as Honky hits the shake, rattle, and roll for the 3-count. Jimmy comes back to celebrate with his men. They are talking about the Harts but nothing too crazy yet.


MAIN EVENT

Barry Windham vs Hercules w/ Rick Rude

-A great main event with Windham really shining. Rude is out there helping Hercules every chance he gets and Heenan puts over his big match with Windham on Monday in MSG. Dino Bravo will be taking on Hercules on Monday Night. Hercules shows off some power but it is Barry Windham who puts it all together and ends up with a big time Bulldog for the victory and then he pounces and dropkicks Rick Rude off the apron flying into the guardrail!


SNME REPORT

-Mean Gene is in the event center and he announces that on December the 21st, from Pittsburgh for Saturday Night’s Main Event, it will be Hulk Hogan taking on Gino Hernandez for the WWF Championship! Also signed for that card will be a tag team championship match in which Demolition will challenge the Fabulous Ones! Finally, it will be an All Star 10-Man, Elimination Tag Team Match! One team will be captained by WWF Intercontinental Champion, Randy Savage while the other will be captained by Tito Santana! Both men will pick their teams heading into the event!

WWF Presents: Superstars of Wrestling
Hosted By: Vince McMahon & Jesse ‘ The Body’ Ventura
Matches from: Allentown, PA – Agricultural Hall

-Jesse and Vince put over the night’s action in a big way. They really pumped up the main event with Jake Roberts challenging Randy Savage for the Intercontinental Championship! They put over the debut of the Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff as they will be managed by Freddie Blassie and they will surely pick up action here in the tag team ranks. Speaking of tag teams, we get to see the champions in action right now.

 

{Before we get to the match, Vince and Jesse put over the recent issues within the Hart stable. We see footage of Bret Hart coming out and taking Neidhart to the back from Wrestling Challenge…}

 

The Fabulous Ones w/ Jimmy Hart defeated Sammy Strong & Johnny Walker

Jimmy Hart: Now I know that people are going to try and make some big fuss about the Hart Foundation… well let me tell you that next week, I am going to be ringside with the Hart Foundation as they battle Demolition! I can promise that I’ve got nothing but Hart for the Anvil and the Hitman!

 

Tito Santana defeated James Wallace

-A great showcase for Tito who is really building up his momentum to challenge Savage for the IC title. We see him hit a big flying forearm before setting him up for the big figure four leglock and the submission victory.

 

The Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff w/ Freddie Blassie defeated Mike Roberts & Frank Fredricks

-Debut or return, however you see it, Volkoff and Sheik are here and they are looking pretty decent for what it’s worth. Blassie is a little dated but he works the crowd alright. In the end we see Nikolai hit a big running knee to the back before Sheik comes in for the Camel Clutch and the submission.

 

INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Jake Roberts vs Randy Savage w/ Elizabeth

-Big time main event and these guys get a chance to show off their skills. It goes about 14-minutes and we see a full on spectacle. Roberts has got such a charisma about him while Savage is really a big time heel right now and has got everyone wired up with his treatment towards Elizabeth. Both men get some offense but the finish sees Savage bump into Liz which makes her fall before Jake tries to check on her. Meantime, Savage goes up to the top and flies with a double axehandle smash to his back sending Roberts into the guardrail. Savage gets a count out victory and Roberts looks to be in a bad way on his way to the back!

WWF Live November 25th
New York City, NY – Madison Square Garden
Hosted by Gorilla Monsoon & Jesse the Body Ventura

Demolition vs The Hart Foundation w/ Jimmy Hart

-A good opening contest with both teams looking really good but the story continues to unfold here with The Hart Foundation having problems with Jimmy Hart. It even goes as far as the Anvil yelling down at Jimmy which causes Bret to knock heads with him and get rolled up by Smash for the 3-count! There is a major disagreement out here with the Harts and Jimmy. The Hammer and Honky come out to try and smooth things over….

 

Dino Bravo vs Hercules w/ Bobby Heenan

-Good back and forth contest for Bravo and Hercules as both men go power for power. Heenan is trying to get Hercules to swap things and do something different but it isn’t getting through and it ends up causing the miscommunication that leads to Bravo getting a big roll up and victory. The crowd pops for Bravo who looks good here tonight. He has got some strength, power, and charisma and an opportunity in front of him.

 

TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

The Fantastics vs The Fabulous Ones w/ Jimmy Hart

-A really great 20-minute tag team contest with these four going at a breakneck pace. We see the formulaic concept of the faces starting strong before the heels cheats to get some heat. The quick rebuild by the faces only to be cut off and then build to the hot tag which ensues chaos in and around the ring. The final moments see Bobby and Tommy with a pair of double dropkicks on Kiern sending him out of the ring and then to Lane that almost sends him over the ropes. Lane holds on while the referee admonishes Fulton and puts him out of the ring before Rogers hits the ropes but gets CRACKED by Jimmy Hart’s megaphone before falling into a crescent kick from Lane for the 3 count!

 

Barry Windham vs Rick Rude w/ Bobby Heenan

-This one has been brewing for quite some time and it boils over here with a quick 8-minute brawl that goes all over ringside. The referee tries to get involved but gets pushed away by both men. Even Bobby Heenan is staying back here as Rude goes to nail Windham with a chair but he ducks and he nails the ringpost with the steel! Windham with some shorthand rights before grabbing Rude and running him into the ring post and BOOM! Rick Rude is busted WIDE OPEN! The referee calls for the bell and awards Windham the bout via DQ but Rude is an absolute mess right now as Heenan is trying to cover him up and help him. Officials and agents come out to break this up but there is more to this war that needs to be settled!

 

INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Billy Jack Haynes vs Randy Savage © w/ Elizabeth

-A slow down 15-minute contest with Savage looking supreme here against Haynes. Billy Jack gets some power moves in and Savage makes him look money here tonight but it is the Macho Man and we know he has got the smarts. He is able to counter the full nelson right before Billy Jack locks it up and run him into the ring post before rolling him up with a handful of tights for the victory!

 

Jake Roberts vs Gino Hernandez w/ Bobby Heenan

-Heenan still has Rude’s blood on him for this contest. Gino looks amazing right now and really shows off his skills in the ring. Jake Roberts is starting to come into his own with regards to his psychology in the ring. We see him go for the DDT on a couple of different occasions and even once he gets it but Heenan throws Hernandez’ foot on the rope! The finish sees Jake go for the DDT again but Hernandez back drops him over the top to the floor. The referee counts to 10 when unbenounced to him Heenan was grabbing Jake’s foot the whole time from under the ring! Hernandez and Heenan celebrate before Jake throws the Snake in the ring to scare them off.

 

WWF CHAMPIONSHIP

Hulk Hogan vs The Iron Sheik w/ Freddie Blassie

-A simple showcase for Hogan who takes on Sheik here tonight. It is only about 10-minutes to warm up for the Main Event. Sheik gets some heat on Hogan’s back before locking in the clutch only for Hogan to Hulk Hogan and take him out for the big leg and the 3-count. Hogan poses but he’s got $25,000 on the line in a few minutes.

 

MAIN EVENT

$25,000 BATTLE ROYAL

Featuring: Greg Valentine, Honky Tonk Man, Demo Smash, Demo Ax, Bret Hart, Jim Neidhart, Dino Bravo, Hercules, Bobby Fulton, Tommy Rogers, Steve Kiern, Stane Lane, Barry Windham, Billy Jack Haynes, Randy Savage, Jake Roberts, Gino Hernandez, Hulk Hogan, The Iron Sheik, Andre the Giant, Ted Dibiase, Nikolai Volkoff, One Man Gang, Tito Santana, & Bobby Heenan

Gino Hernandez won the $25,000 Battle Royal!

-The final moments saw Andre the Giant eliminated by Ted Dibiase and the One Man Gang before Hulk Hogan eliminated both of them. This led to Gino Hernandez (who was presumed eliminated) to come back in the ring and eliminate Hogan much to the chagrin of the fans! Hernandez got the bag with $25,000 but Hogan came back in and beat him up and then starting tossing the money out to the fans and posing!

The MSG show was great with a lot of turmoil between managers and wrestlers. This gets the new set of angles going for the new year! Also like the introduction of Survivor. Wrestling is a creative sport and you have done such a great job with it. Wrestling is also a copy cat game. Might just see one of those reverse battle royals and survivor cards you used in the South land in 86!
