-What a surprise… Jacques and Raymond come out to an amazing ovation from the crowd. The fans are going absolutely NUTS right now. This one is a great 25-minute contest with quick tags, tag team moves, and some great heat on the Horsemen. The finish see the Horsemen in control but a blind tag to Jacques sets up a situation when Raymond dropkicks Tully off the apron to the floor. He turns around and Anderson grabs him for a spinebuster but the referee won’t count because Raymond isn’t the legal man. Arn argues… turns around… and Jacques comes off the top rope with a crossbody for the 1….2…..3! The fans go completely nuts! We have NEW tag team champions!

WOW. You actually did in Montreal what WWF was afraid to do IRL around that time: put the titles on the Rougeau Brothers. This will definitely be an exciting time in WWF and you can definitely stretch that feud for a little while, given the great quality of matches you're gonna get out of the Rougeaus and the Horsemen!

WWF Presents: Prime Time Wrestling 11/3

Hosted by Gorilla Monsoon & Jesse the Body Ventura

Matches from: Brantford, Ontario, Canada – Civic Centre

 

The Rockers defeated Los Conquistadors

 

-Jimmy Hart and company came out to cut promos on Randy Savage. They put over how Dino Bravo is part of the family and now they are at full strength and will do everything they can to get the WWF Intercontinental Championship!

 

The Great Muta w/ Mr. Fuji defeated Billy Jack Haynes

-Muta brought the TV Title and “defended” it against Haynes

 

-Curt Hennig came out to cut a promo on him and talked about challenging Muta and letting him know that Hennig is the true champion and not Muta!

 

-The Horsemen come out without the tag titles now and they run down the Rougeau Brothers something awful. They put over a rematch for SNME coming up on the 29th of November! Windham says he has got plans to put an end to this issue with Mulligan. Flair says that Funk has arrived to make the money on putting away Hulk Hogan forever. Now… Flair gets to put an end to Andre the Giant and he will forever be known as the giant killer!

 

The Hart Foundation vs Dino Bravo & Greg Valentine

-Big time main event with these four putting it all on the line out there. The real key is when the Harts look to have control but then Bret Hart gets tossed out of the ring and out of the darkness comes Ax and Smash… it is Demolition! They are here and they are beating down the Harts as the bell rings for a DQ! Here comes Honky and Hercules and it is a nasty 6 on 2 brawl but out of the back, Randy Savage leads a charge with Brutus Beefcake and here comes the Rockers to help matters out! The fans are going wild for this six on six brawl as Hart and Fuji back their men up!

 

Sorry I had to quick hit it this week… too much going on.

WWF Presents: Prime Time Wrestling 11/10

Hosted by Gorilla Monsoon & Jesse the Body Ventura

Matches from: Providence, RI – Civic Center

 

Promo from Curt Hennig where he challenges the Great Muta right here next week for the television championship! Fuji and Muta come out and accept the challenge but then Muta MISTS Hennig and PT is off to the races already!

 

Hacksaw Duggan & Butch Reed vs the Russians w/ Slick

-Debut of sorts here for Hacksaw Butch Reed who comes out with a 2x4 just like Duggan. They work the crowd and Reed looks awesome in the ring. We see that the One Man Gang comes out to get involved but Dugan whacks him with the 2x4 and inside the ring Butch Reed hits a flying shoulder block for the 3-count on Boris!

 

Promo from Tito Santana and Blackjack Mulligan. Tito puts over how Terry Funk’s actions were disgusting and he wants to shut Terry Funk’s mouth up for good! Mulligan says that the Horsemen are on borrowed time and with the Rougeau Brothers getting the gold… Savage taking it from Barry… next will be Andre taking the title from Flair!

 

Brutus Beefcake vs Dino Bravo w/ Jimmy Hart

-A fun little contest with these two embroiled in a feud in which they are secondary players. The turn of Dino Bravo has struck a cord with a lot of folks and he has got some big time heat from the crowd. Brutus is coming into his own as a worker but is far from great. The finish sees Jimmy Hart try to get involved but Brutus rocks him with a big shot only for Bravo to grab the megaphone and nail Brutus for the DQ! This brings out the rest of Harts men with Honky, Hercules, and Valentine coming to wear down Brutus but the team of Savage and the Hart Foundation come out to make the save and the crowd pops!

 

Randy Savage, Brutus Beefcake, and the Harts cut down Jimmy Hart’s crew and Savage says this is his team and they will fight the good fight for everyone to see! They challenge Hart’s men and say it will be survival of the fittest… OHHHH YEEEEEAAAAHHH!

 

The Rougeau Brothers are out with the tag titles. They put over all the teams in the WWF and even say they would face Demolition in Canada if need be! They talk about the Harts and Rockers along with the Horsemen and the Russians and they say that they welcome all comers and challengers and they will be fighting champions..

 

-Enter the Horsemen…

 

Arn and Tully come out with Heenan and they challenge the Rougeau Brothers to a match for the titles any time and talk about SNME being the moment when the gold comes back to where it belongs! The Rougeaus say they are up for the challenge and look forward to showing the world why they are the best tag team in wrestling. The Horsemen say they will face anyone tonight in that ring...

 

-Enter Mike Rotundo and Terry Taylor

 

Taylor and Rotundo come out to a nice little pop as both men have been here before but nothing major. They say they want the Horsemen tonight and will make a big name for themselves right here on Prime Time! We will see the match when we come back!


 

Mike Rotundo & Terry Taylor vs Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard w/ Bobby Heenan

-As if the Horsemen needed another challenge… we see the formidable competition of Rotundo and Taylor who are back in the WWF and have high hopes. Blanchard and Anderson are too much for these two but it is still a fun 9-minute contest with some fun moves and each team showing off the skills. A blind knee to the kidneys on Rotundo from Tully sets up the Spinebuster and 3-count from Anderson for the victory!

 

The final segment sees Terry Funk come out and scare off Gorilla Monsoon and grab the microphone from Jesse. He starts running down Hulk Hogan and just throws him under the bus for being a yellow dog. He says Hogan was never man enough to wrestle him so he sure as hell won’t be man enough to fight him! Funk continues on until we see Jack Tunney and officials come out. They escort Funk from the arena and he has gone completely insane!

WWF Presents: Prime Time Wrestling

Hosted by Gorilla Monsoon & Jesse the Body Ventura

Matches from: Worcester, MA - Centrum

 

Gorilla and Jesse open this week putting over the big night of action including a television championship match and a six-man tag. Plus the Horsemen are here and so is Hulk Hogan to address Terry Funk… right now we head to the ring for our opening contest…

 

Mike Rotundo & Terry Taylor vs The Russian w/ Slick

-This story of the Russians continues as early on we see the One Man Gang come out and he turns this into a 3 on 1 before we see Duggan and Reed run down to the ring to break things up. Slick is goating Duggan to the back and out of the shadows…. THAT’S THE BIG BOSS MAN! The Boss Man is here and he cracks Duggan with the knight stick! This one has to be stopped by the officials as Slick has amassed an army here…

 

We here from the Rougeau Brothers who look forward to their SNME match against the Horsemen and talk about how there is a 30-minute time limit and they will use every second of it to make the Horsemen know just how Fabulous they are!

 

We then have Sting come out and he cuts a promo on the big TV title match tonight and he says that he knows Muta is dangerous but he knows Hennig is the better wrestler. Sting says he has found some great friends here in the WWF but knows he has a lot more enemies. He puts over Hulk Hogan before we see Terry Funk come out. Funk and Sting go back and forth while Funk is putting over how he will make Hogan paint his face too to hide his identity. Sting takes offense but then Funk sucker punches him. Funk says that no one is safe and Hogan will be the one bowing down when it is all said and done!

 

TV CHAMPIONSHIP

Curt Hennig vs The Great Muta w/ Mr. Fuji

-No “true” champion here as the title has been held up. These two go the 15-minute time limit and put on a very fun match. We see lots of catch wrestling with Muta putting out some high flying here and there. With seconds remaining we see the finish of Muta going for the Moonsault but Hennig moving… Muta landing and going for a crescent kick before Hennig ducks and then grabs him for a Fisherman’s Suplex for a 2 count right as the bell rings before the referee’s hand strikes 3! The crowd is hot as they thought Hennig had won it but alas... The title is still up for grabs!

 

The Horsemen come out and cut promos on everyone and run everyone into the ground. They talk about the Rougeaus and how they may be a good tag team but it takes defending those titles to be great and they won’t be able to do it at SNME! Windham says that Mulligan has been a thorn in his side for too long and that it is high time he removes it for good! Flair goes off on Hogan and Andre and says that Turkey Day is going to be great because of a giant 500 pound turkey named Andre the Giant! That brings out the big man but he isn’t alone as he is with the Rougeaus and Mulligan! They set the stage for a big Thanksgiving Day showdown  in Indianapolis!

 

MAIN EVENT

SIX-MAN TAG

Randy Savage & The Hart Foundation vs Valentine, Bravo, & Honky Tonk w/ Jimmy Hart & Hercules

-A big time six-man with a lot on the line here for all involved. We see the team of the Harts and Savage really shine tonight and they have got the crowd 100% behind them. Jimmy’s boys have got some good heat and the marquee match is with Valentine vs Savage. It is off the chain with these two really putting forth an awesome effort and giving nothing but stiff shots to one another. The finish is messy with Hercules nailing Bret with the chain leading to the Anvil hurling himself out of the ring on top of him. This gets Bravo and Honky a chance to double team Savage but he duck out of the ways and ends up sending both men out of the ring but he’s there to follow. Bret Hart is slow to get up and here comes Valentine with that shin guard and CRACKS the Hitman in the skull and gets the 3-count. Brutus runs down to even the odds as this 8-man cannot be contained!

 

The final segment sees Hulk Hogan come out to a monstrous ovation. He comes out to Mean Gene on the podium and just lays into Terry Funk and challenges him to come out right now and fight. Hogan goes into the ring and he continues to cut a promo and when Funk comes out he isn’t alone… here comes Bunkhouse Buck and Jack Manson. These two crazy fools join Funk as he walks down and they circle the ring. The crowd then pops as they get up but Tito Santana and Sting run down and even the odds! Funk and company back off and Funk is all smiles. He tells Hogan he’s a turkey and he’s going to stuff him on Thanksgiving!

Saturday Night Main Event looks like another loaded card for you so I can't wait for what happens in Houston. It's always fun to see some incarnations of characters a bit before their time but I think that Bunkhouse Buck & Cactus Jack Manson is a perfect fit with Terry Funk at the moment. Like if Hogan needed more ennemies!

A great TV title match between Curt Hennig and The Great Muta. Add Sting to the mix and you can't go wrong with whoever ends up being the champion! I was hoping to see one crowned at SNME but my booking instinct tells me that the Royal Rumble might be the backdrop for this coronation!

Matches from: St. Louis, MO – Kiel Auditorium

 

Terry Funk, Jack Manson, & Bunkhouse Buck defeated Jim Powers, Paul Roma, & SD Jones

 

Funk and company cut a scathing promo on Hogan and said he is a yellow belly egg sucking dog who won’t show up to Indianapolis for the big Survivor Showdown and he won’t even make it to SNME for Kamala to destroy him!

 

Davey Boy Smith vs Don Muraco w/ Mr. Fuji

-This is a fun one for a couple of minutes with Davey Boy showing off his singles skills. The match ends with a schmoz when the Nasty Boys come out along with Muta and beat him down before we see the Rockers and Curt Hennig come out for the save!

 

We have an official ruling from Jack Tunney that next week on Prime Time… Curt Hennig will face the Great Muta for the TV Title and there must be a winner or the title will go vacant and be decided in a tournament!

 

Kamala w/ Mr. Fuji & Kim Chee defeated Hillbilly Jim

-We saw Kim Chee and Fuji all get involved and hurt on Hillbilly which brought out Tito Santana. This was all just a ploy for Funk, Buck, and Jack to come out and triple team Santana before we could see Hillbilly make the save. Lots of chaos.

 

We got an event center with Mean Gene running down the big SNME card next week highlighted by Savage vs Bravo for the IC Title along with the tag title contest! Plus we’ll see Hulk Hogan against Kamala and Andre the Giant and Blackjack Mulligan taking on Ric Flair and Barry Windham!

 

The final segment saw the Horsemen cut promos on their foes with Andre the Giant being at the top of the list followed by Blackjack Mulligan and the Rougeau Brothers. The crowd erupted when all four of them came out and challenged the Horsemen to a match.

 

Andre, Mulligan, & The Rougeaus vs The Horsemen

-A quick little taste for the fans as these guys all got involved quickly but in the 7-minutes the match was going on nothing substantial happened. The big moment was the no contest finish and then Andre picking up Flair and tossing him out of the ring onto the Horsemen to finish the show!

I'll say that I was surprised by the finish of Andre's Giants vs The Four Horsemen, as I was convinced that it would've been the other way around, meaning that Flair would get counted out, maybe voluntarily to avoid the manslaught. But doing it with Arn & Tully restraining Andre was a very nice touch. Now Andre has every reason to go on a rampage and destroy Arn & Tully as well. Great booking.

Presents: SATURDAY NIGHT’S MAIN EVENT XII

Houston, TX – Sam Houston Coliseum

 

Randy Savage: OHHHH YEAAAAAHHHH Saturday Night’s Main Event with the IC title on the line and OHHH YEAAAHHHH I have got a prime time opponent and he is going to find me in the middle of that ring. Dino Bravo… you better look up to the lights tonight because the most Savage elbow in the world is going to come crashing through your heart.. DIG IT!

 

Jimmy Hart w/ Dino Bravo: Randy Savage… I think you have been in the sun too long man. This is Houston partner… and this is going to be a shootout and I have got all the big guns with here with Dino Bravo baby!

 

Ric Flair: WOOO! Houston Texas…. Horsemen country… tonight Barry Windham and myself WALK THAT AISLE against two of the biggest men in the sport… but size between the ears is where it counts and Mulligan… Andre… you just don’t have what it takes!

 

Barry Windham: A lot of people have been talking about this being a family feud… well for it to be a family feud you have got to have some sense of care… Blackjack Mulligan… I don’t have the smallest shred of care for you and tonight I am going to remove you from my life!

 

Jack Mulligan w/ Andre: Andre… it hearts me to see my son act the way he is… but I know with your help… tonight we’re going to take him and Flair to the woodshed and show those Horsemen what a good fight is all about!

 

Mr. Fuji w/ Kamala: Tonight the bounty is on you Hulk Hogan and tonight I am going to cash in with my Kamala… he is a savage… he is a warrior… and he is hungry and tonight he will feast on you!

 

Hulk Hogan: Well you know something dude… tonight I am out here for all of my Hulkamaniacs all over the world. Here in the United States we celebrated Thanksgiving and tonight I am thankful for all of my Hulkamanics who have supported me in my quest to become the WWF Champion again! Tonight… I face a tough challenger who is nothing but a mercenary… but tonight the check isn’t going to cash Kamala and I am going to show you why money is no object to the strongest force in the world… HULKAMANIA!

 

Vince: Welcome everyone to Saturday Night’s Main Event! I am Vince McMahon alongside Jesse the Body Ventura! We are here in the Sam Houston Coliseum in Houston, Texas and Jesse… this is going to be a Texas sized edition of SNME!

 

Jesse: That’s right McMahon and tonight all the rules change! Tonight, the WWF gets back to the way it belongs!

 

Vince: What are you talking about Jesse?

 

Jesse: Tonight the Horsemen get rid of Andre and Blackjack… they get BACK the WWF Tag Team Championship… and they get rid of Hulk Hogan!

 

Vince: That is certainly a lot to contend with if you’re the opponents of the Horsemen tonight. We have got so many great matches but we can’t forget that the Intercontinental Championship will be on the line!

 

Jesse: Randy Savage has shown that he is the greatest Intercontinental Champion in the history of the WWF. Tonight he faces the strength of Dino Bravo… but I can’t pick against the champion.

 

Vince: I have to agree with you there Jesse… plus the tag team titles will be on the line… right now let’s go to Mean Gene Okerlund with Randy Savage!

 

Mean Gene sets up his interview with Savage who is hyped up right now. He talks about Hart’s guys and says that his men will be in the back in case they get involved but he is hoping for a fair fight… DIG IT!

 

INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Randy Savage © w/ Elizabeth vs Dino Bravo w/ Jimmy Hart

-A pretty solid opener and Savage gets the best out of Bravo. Early on we see Hercules, Valentine, and Honky attempt to walk out but here comes Brutus and the Hart Foundation as they halt them in the aisleway! We return from commercial with Bravo working over Savage but it all leads to the comeback of the Macho Man and the crowd just goes wild for it. He comes back with big rights and lefts and before we know it Savage is flying around and he jumps up to the top rope and comes off with a huge double axe-handle smash! Savage goes up again as Bravo stumbles up and Savage with another double axe-handle smash! He goes up again and he’s looking for the elbow before Jimmy Hart comes up the apron but Savage nails him with a big right hand. Dino is now up and he goes over to the turnbuckle and he grabs Savage but Savage jumps over his back and then a backslide for the 1...2...3!! Savage gets out of here with a flash pinfall! He grabs the belt and looks at Jimmy Hart… this is just the start of this one!

 

*COMMERCIAL*

 

We get a fun little promo with Flair and Windham who put over the bright lights of NBC but also how SNME is Horsemen showcase time and tonight they have got two big turkey’s who are going to be stuffed and served then they will get the titles back… then… Hulk Hogan will be finished forever!

 

Andre the Giant & Blackjack Mulligan vs Ric Flair & Barry Windham w/ Bobby Heenan

-An interesting contest as this is just really a big showcase for all four me. The big moment is to see Mulligan and Windham go toe to toe and the crowd has really bought into this feud while Andre and Flair continue to out-due everyone. There isn’t much workrate and before long we see Arn and Tully at ringside. This leads to a scmoz with Andre battle them outside the ring… Ric Flair low blowing Mulligan leading to Windham coming out of nowhere with a bulldog and the 3-count. Windham does look befuddled as to how Mulligan got in that position and questions Flair but they are on too big of a high right now!

 

*COMMERCIAL*

 

We get a great Hogan promo with Mean Gene as the Hulkster runs down Kamala, Terry Funk, and the Horsemen for all the bounties and how he proclaims that he will rid the WWF of Kamala and Terry Funk and any other bounty hunters before the end of the year and then in 1987 he will have his eye on the prize for Ric Flair. Tonight he handles the savage and he’s going to show Kamala why Hulkamania is a true man-eater!

 

Hulk Hogan vs Kamala w/ Mr. Fuji
-No big shock here with this story and how these two work together. Kamala beats down Hogan and makes him look like he’s going to die before Hogan fights back to the delight of the crowd. The big angle here is when Terry Funk shows up with Manson and Buck. There are officials and agents out to try and break this up but Funk continues to try and break through. This is enough of a distraction for Kamala to capitalize on Hogan. We see some big splashes but Hogan kicks out and Hulks up before slamming the mighty Kamala! He is going for the legdrop and then the 3-count!

 

Once the referee hits three we see Funk, Manson, and Buck attack Hogan and start to work him over. Manson and Buck hold Hogan and Funk lights the branding iron on fire before threatening to come after Hogan but here comes Sting, Tito, and Hillbilly to clear the ring. Funk is smiling all the back with the branding iron on fire still. The crowd is in shock as Hogan regains his strength and then comes after Funk!

 

*COMMERCIAL*

 

We return to SNME with the Rougeau Brothers talking with Mean Gene. They put over the titles and talk about how tough of competitors the Horsemen are but the Rougeaus are champions for a reason and tonight they get to show everyone why!


TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

The Rougeau Brothers © vs The Horsemen w/ Bobby Heenan

-These guys get the final spot on this card and they deliver. Tag title matches have a 30-minute time limit according to the Fink and these four put on a clinic. They go 20-minutes and have a lot of smooth tags and transitions. The crowd is fully behind the Rougeaus here but there is some love for Tully and Arn. We have a lot of near-falls with both teams coming up close here and there. Jesse puts over both teams but says that the titles belong to the Horsemen and they will get them. Around the 18-minute mark we see Heenan starting to stir outside the ring before the Rougeaus double dropkick Tully out of the ring to the floor. Arn runs at them and they backdrop him over the top! The Rougeaus go out on the apron and leap for crossbodies but Arn is able to counter and he drops Jacques on his throat on the guardrail! OH MY! This is the opening as Raymond is checking on his brother but Arn comes out of nowhere with a knee right to the kidneys! Arn tosses him back into the ring and a staggering Tully comes with a knee right to the back of the neck! Wait a minute… here it comes… SPIKE PILEDRIVER! 1….2…..3!!! The Horsemen have regained the titles! This is chaos! Here comes Flair and Windham! Angel and Sherri! What a celebration!

 

*COMMERCIAL*

 

Jesse Ventura meets us back in the locker room with the Horsemen and the champagne is flowing! Everyone has a drink and they are hooting and hollering up a storm! Jesse says the Horsemen are right where they belong with the titles but then Barry seems to be a little left out. He says that he may not have the gold around his waist right now but it won’t be long! The Horsemen all shout and cheer as we head to Mean Gene…

 

We cut to Mean Gene who is with Hulk Hogan and he is going nuts… he says that Terry Funk has not ended Hulkamania but enraged it! He says that he is challenging Funk to any kind of match he wants and he will show him why Hulkamania is the strongest force in the world!

 

We then cut to Jesse and Vince who sign us off for the final SNME of 1986 and say that SNME will return in 1987 and be bigger than ever!

Definitely a few event to talk about this SNME. Mostly catching my eye is the seeds of dissension being planted between Barry Windham and Ric Flair after the finish of the tag match vs Andre & Senior. I personally will admit that I'm a tad bummed that you're already hinting to the end of Windham's time as a Horseman but looking at your roster, I think I got the PERFECT replacement in mind . ;)

And kudos to the audacity of your booking with the postmatch of Hogan vs Kamala, with Funk and company attacking Hogan. By the RL standards of WWF at the time, I'm not sure we would've even seen the hint of the use of branded iron set on fire. But this just emphasizes the sheer madness of Terry Funk and his motley crew of maniacs!
