The WWF Presents: WrestleMania III


LowBlowPodcast

Recommended Posts

We’d like to announce that WrestleMania III will be held in the Houston Astrodome in Houston, Texas on March 29, 1987! (Not really… show will be posted this weekend)

 

This will be the final show for the 1983 project. We want to thank you for all the support over the last four years to get to this point and to cap it off with the show that was for all intensive purposes… the end of the Territories. Let’s take a look at the card...

 

The Rockers vs The Russians w/ Slick

This one built over a series of tag team encounters. The Rockers continued to challenge bigger teams and the Russians overpowered them on two encounters. WrestleMania poses a chance for the Rockers to take the next step as tag team contenders and earn a shot at the gold!

 

Brutus Beefcake vs The Honky Tonk Man w/ Jimmy Hart

Brutus and Honky have been arguing about Honky’s hair over the last couple of weeks. Brutus has threatened to shave him bald in front of the world! Honky says no one can touch the King’s locks and Brutus isn’t fit to touch his hair!

 

Tito Santana, Billy Jack Haynes, Davey Boy Smith & Sting vs Bad News Brown, The Big Bossman w/ Slick, Hercules w/ Jimmy Hart & Don Muraco w/ Mr. Fuji

This is a sort of all-star challenge for these eight men. Tito leads his team against a quartet of challengers who all want to reign supreme.

 

The Rougeau Brothers vs Greg Valentine & Dino Bravo w/ Jimmy Hart

Jimmy Hart has been trying to court the Rougeau Brothers for weeks but they continue to tell them that they want no part of him or anything he stands for. This caused issue with Valentine and Bravo who have had a lot of success as of late as a team and look to show the Rougeaus why they are the Dream Team!

 

Butch Reed vs The One Man Gang w/ Slick

Butch Reed has been going wild as of late. He had a very impressive showing at the Rumble at the Bronx lasting until the final four… then being eliminated by the Gang. The Gang and Slick’s army have taken every measure to hurt Reed before WrestleMania… but tonight he comes in with revenge on his mind and vengeance in his heart!

 

Andre the Giant vs Terry Funk

After the Texas Deathmatch in December… Terry Funk disappeared only to reappear at the Rumble in the Bronx and on that night he stuck a branding iron in Andre the Giant’s face! The bloodied giant vowed revenge and Funk continued to attack. He sent his henchmen...Manson and Buck but they both fell to the Giant who vowed to put Funk down and away forever!

 

Barry Windham & Blackjack Mulligan vs Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard

This match was made up of many layers. The first being Windham low blowing his father on December 29th… then the Horsemen dispersed him to take out Hulk Hogan at the Rumble in the Bronx. If Windham won… he would earn a world title shot but it was Hogan who came out on top. Windham was chastised by the Horsemen and the final moment happened Arn and Tully were holding Blackjack and Windham had to make the final blow but instead Windham nailed the Horsemen. He has joined his father for this big match tonight.

 

TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP

Curt Hennig © vs  Kamala w/ Mr. Fuji

Curt Hennig won the TV title back on December 29th and has successfully defended the title on 18 different occasions. One of those occasions was a DQ finish over Kamala who splash him outside the ring on the floor. Fuji dispatched Kamala after Muta left a loser leaves town match against Hennig. Tonight Hennig comes in with busted ribs but the title… will he walk away with it?

 

WWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

The Hart Foundation © vs Demolition

Demolition has made the Hart’s lives a living hell since they had to leave the country. They returned in March after the Harts won the titles at Rumble in the Bronx. The Hitman and the Anvil have been fighting champions. They almost lost the titles at the King of the Ring when Demolition attacked them but they came back with a passion unlike any other. Tonight they face their toughest challenges.

 

INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Randy Savage © vs Jerry the King Lawler

Jerry Lawler showed up in the WWF in December of 1986. At the Rumble in the Bronx he was in the final four with Reed, Gang, and Savage. He and Gang tried to team up on Savage but the Macho Man turned the tide and eliminated the Gang and then Lawler. Lawler went into the King of the Ring and beat Curt Hennig in the Finals. He then tried to dismantle Hennig only for Savage to come back and help him. Lawler then pulled out all the stops when he piledrove Savage on the concrete floor in front of Elizabeth. Savage was out for weeks and this is his first night back… will he have ring rust against the WWF’s King of the Ring or will the former King and current IC Champion reign supreme again?

 

WWF CHAMPIONSHIP

Hulk Hogan vs Ric Flair ©

Where to begin… perhaps Boston almost a year ago? Flair won the title only for Hogan to never get a one on one shot until now! Flair dispersed many different bounty hunters with up to $100,000 on the line but none of them could finish the job. Hogan and Windham fought for a number one contenders match at Rumble in the Bronx and put on a classic. The finish saw Hogan earn the match and then it was Flair who challenged him. At King of the Ring, the Horsemen were after Hogan in a six-man but with the help of Tito Santana and Jack Mulligan, Hogan won the match and then it was a straight line to WrestleMania. We’ve seen the contract signing… Hogan busted open by Flair… Hogan screaming that he’ll win the title on the Prime Time as a bloody mess. It comes to this. Flair has defeated so many in his path… even Hogan… tonight over 70,000 people will watch these two Icons of professional wrestling lay claim to the most important championship in the the world… who walks out with the gold?

The WWF Presents: WrestleMania III

March, 29, 1987

The Houston Astrodome, Houston, Texas

 


Wrestlemania-III-3_Vince-McMahon.jpeg

 

-The screen opens to Vince McMahon in the middle of the ring...

 

Vince McMahon: Welcome everyone to WRESTLEMANIA III! We are here in the Houston Astrodome for the greatest event in the history of Sports Entertainment! I would like to introduce to you the singer of America the Beautiful… Houston’s own… Kenny Rogers!

 

920x920.jpg

 

Kenny Rogers: O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain

For purple mountain majesties, above the fruited plain

America, America, God shed His grace on thee

And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea

 

O beautiful for Pilgrim feet, whose stern impassioned stress

A thoroughfare for freedom beat, across the wilderness

America, America, God mend thine every flaw

Confirm thy soul in self control, Thy liberty in law

 

O beautiful for heroes proved, in liberating strife

Who more than self their country loved, and mercy more than life

America, America, May God they gold refine

Till all success be nobleness, and every gain divine

 

O beautiful for patriot dream, that sees beyond the years

Thine alabaster cities gleam, undimmed by human tears

America, America, God shed His grace on thee

And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea

 

~The crowd erupts as he finishes the song and the fans are going nuts!  We cut to Gorilla and Jesse in the booth!

 

wwf_wrestlemania_6_venturamonsoon.jpg

 

Gorilla: Welcome everyone to WRESTLEMANIA III! I am Gorilla Monsoon alongside Jesse the Body Ventura and Jess… you can cut the electricity with a knife… this is the moment we’ve all been waiting for!

 

Jesse: You’ve got that right Monsoon… right here… right now… we put it all on the line and the world is going to see the greatest spectacle in the history of sports and entertainment.

 

Gorilla: What a card we’ve got for you fans… four titles on the line… perhaps none bigger than that of Hulk Hogan taking on Ric Flair for the WWF Championship… can the Hulkster regain his title?

 

Jesse: What’s this “his title” stuff Monsoon? Flair beat him a year ago… he’s beat everyone since then… he holds the cards and now Hogan has to stand up to Flair’s challenge!

 

Gorilla: Oh please… he’s been ducking and dodging him in a one on one match for the title for months… tonight the Hulkster gets revenge! Right now it is time for our opening contest… let’s take it to the ring!

 

The Rockers vs The Russians w/ Slick

-A hot opener and we get the ring carts bringing the guys down to the ring. The Rockers are really hyping up the crowd while the Russians are getting some big time heat. We get a fun 8-minute opener with the Russians controlling early but the Rockers coming back with a huge flurry. We see them just hit a breakneck pace before double dropkicking Nikolai out of the ring to the floor and then setting up Boris for the double fist drop and the victory! The crowd explodes for these two young stars who have got big plans for 1987!

 

We cut back to Jesse and Gorilla who put over the opening match and talk about the Rockers as contenders. They put over the next contest… which Jesse calls an All-Star team on one side with the Bossman, Hercules, Muraco, and Bad News while Gorilla says the team of Tito, Davey, Billy Jack, and Sting are the Rising Stars! We have got eight-man tag team action coming up right now!

 

Tito Santana, Billy Jack Haynes, Davey Boy Smith & Sting vs Bad News Brown, The Big Bossman w/ Slick, Hercules w/ Jimmy Hart & Don Muraco w/ Mr. Fuji

-These guys go for about 12-minutes and it is a fun little encounter with everyone getting in their shots. The Bossman is the true star of the heel team and he gets in some nasty blows throughout the contest. Tito is a great leader while Davey Boy matches power with Hercules and Sting ignites the crowd. The finish sees Muraco nail Bad News on accident. Bad News then leaves the ring and Muraco and Bossman try to stop him but Bad News walks off… when they turn around it is Sting flying over the top rope with a splash taking them both out! Inside the ring Hercules turns around and here comes Tito with the flying forearm for the 3-count! The Babyfaces hold strong here and the crowd is going nuts!

 

We cut to a special video highlighting the Curt Hennig and Kamala feud...Curt Hennig won the TV title back on December 29th and has successfully defended the title on 18 different occasions. One of those occasions was a DQ finish over Kamala who splash him outside the ring on the floor. Fuji dispatched Kamala after Muta left a loser leaves town match against Hennig. Tonight Hennig comes in with busted ribs but the title… will he walk away with it?

 

TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP

Curt Hennig © vs  Kamala w/ Mr. Fuji

-The Uganda Giant looks enormous here and comes with with spear and shield and he is ready to tear into someone. Hennig comes out to a pretty good pop as the Houston crowd is behind him. These guys go 9-minutes with both men getting in some offense. This match is reminiscent of the 1985 Magnum vs Kamala match from GAB. We see the Giant look like he is about to destroy Hennig within an inch of his life but Hennig finds a way to come back and gets the crowd going before he moves from a big splash and then hits a pair of dropkicks. Kamala is staggering and Hennig goes up top for a flying cross body for the 3-count!

 

Jesse and Gorilla put over Curt Hennig as one of the premiere up and coming wrestlers of 1987. They say he is in line for a shot at the IC title and should be someone who Savage keeps an eye on. They turn their attention to the tag team titles and talk about all the challengers. We then get hyped for the Rougeaus vs Dream Team contest!

 

The Rougeau Brothers vs Greg Valentine & Dino Bravo w/ Jimmy Hart

-This is a fun little tag match with Jesse Ventura really hyping up how the Rougeau Brothers need to team up with Jimmy Hart. He keeps running them down for not taking his offer to manage them and tonight they will understand just what he can do. This one goes about 12-minutes with both teams getting some offense but the team of Valentine and Bravo really kicking it up a notch. It is Bravo who catches Jacques when he goes for a crossbody and then tosses him out of the ring while the referee isn’t looking. He then comes with a nasty elbow to the back of the head of Raymond and then we see the Hammer lock him in the figure-four but we get a 3-count because of Raymond being knocked out. The crowd isn’t happy about this one… we then cut to the back...

 

Lord Alfred Hayes is with Terry Funk - Funk puts over how Andre the Giant is bigger than him…. But he’s dumber than him too! He says that the brain flow isn’t all there and that tonight… Funk is going to brand Andre again and when he pile drives him… he’s going to create a new grand canyon right here in TEXAS!

 

Mean Gene Okerlund is with Andre the Giant - Andre is now with a new haircut and he says that he’s regained sight in his eye… he feels strong… he feels ready to make Terry Funk understand that just like the Astrodome… Andre is the 8th Wonder of the World and tonight he will put an end to Terry Funk forever!

 

Butch Reed vs The One Man Gang w/ Slick

-Butch Reed comes out to a HUGE POP! The Gang looks like the big dog here and he’s got the chain with him. Butch Reed comes down ready for a fight and he and the Gang throw some big time bombs and the crowd is going wild. This ends up being more of a street fight than anything and Butch Reed is bringing some big time blows to the Gang! Slick tries to get involved but Reed nails him with a huge right and he goes down. The referee is trying to keep order as this one goes about 9-hellacious minutes. The finish sees the Gang go for the 747 but then he wraps the chain around his waist and goes for another one but this time Reed moves and the Gang comes down hard! Reed gets up and nails him with a couple of huge rights and then a huge BODY SLAM that shakes the ring! Slick gets up and Reed runs and throws a huge forearm to knock him down. Reed then gets up on the top rope as the Gang feeds to him and BOOM with a shoulder block and the 3-count!

 

Jesse and Gorilla go absolutely wild putting over Butch Reed. They talk about his power and strength and say that he is definitely next in line for a shot at the IC Title! Right now we head to our second championship match of the evening… let’s see how it came to be!

 

We then cut to a hype video for our tag team championship contest Demolition has made the Hart’s lives a living hell since they had to leave the country. They returned in March after the Harts won the titles at Rumble in the Bronx. The Hitman and the Anvil have been fighting champions. They almost lost the titles at the King of the Ring when Demolition attacked them but they came back with a passion unlike any other. Tonight they face their toughest challenges.


 

WWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

The Hart Foundation © vs Demolition w/ Mr. Fuji

-The Harts come out in black with pink trim tonight and get the crowd going. Demo looks big and strong and we see a great 18-minute contest. These guys really pull out all the stops and do some great tag team action. We see a formula of Demo building heat and then The Harts coming close to a hot tag early and then we go back to heat with a big tag. The Anvil is single handedly changing the pace of the contest while the Hitman is hurting in the corner. Demolition really work over Bret and as chaos breaks out we see Fuji get involved. The finish sees Fuji throw the cane to Smash who breaks the cane over the skull of Bret Hart while the referee is getting the Anvil out of the ring. Smash covers while Neidhart tries to get in but Fuji holds his leg. We see the 3-count and NEW Tag Team Champions. Demolition is back on top of the mountain and the fans are not happy!

 

Lord Alfred Hayes is with Jerry Lawler - Lawler says that Savage should have been stripped of the title over a week ago due to not defending it but he’s got the likes of Jack Tunney pulling strings for him that keep him where he is at in life. Lawler says that he’s the King of the WWF and because of that… it is his monarchy… his rules… and soon it will be HIS TITLE!

 

Mean Gene is with Randy Savage and Elizabeth - Savage says that he is 100% and that Lawler brought out something in him that he’s never felt before. It is more than anger… it is more than the madness… it is a fear. Yeah a fear… you see something Jerry Lawler… you brought out a fear in me that I have no clue what I am going to do next. I have no control over the Madness anymore. It may be for the title tonight but understand me Jerry Lawler… understand that I am not talking to you right now but I am talking to the world. Put the women and children to bed… because the Macho Man is coming hunting… Ohhh yeaah… I am coming hunting and just like Louis the 16th… OFF WITH HIS HEAD! DIG IT!

 

We then cut to special footage of how our next contest came to be! After the Texas Deathmatch in December… Terry Funk disappeared only to reappear at the Rumble in the Bronx and on that night he stuck a branding iron in Andre the Giant’s face! The bloodied giant vowed revenge and Funk continued to attack. He sent his henchmen...Manson and Buck but they both fell to the Giant who vowed to put Funk down and away forever!

 

Andre the Giant vs Terry Funk

Funk literally comes out with the branding iron on Fire… you can see the flame from the arena and the crowd is going nuts. We see WWF officials out there trying to control him but nothing doing. Andre then comes out to a MONSTER pop! The loudest of the evening thus far. He comes into the ring and Funk comes after him but Andre with a big boot and Funk goes flying… as does the branding iron! We then see a great 13-minute brawl with action all over the ring and the referee lets them go after it. We see Funk use a chair. We see Andre throw him into the guardrail. The fun highlight was Funk trying to piledrive Andre outside the ring but Andre flipping him over his back into the crowd. The fans are going wild for this one as we do see the tide turn with Funk gets hold of his branding iron again and nails Andre. It leads to them getting back in the ring and Andre busted open pretty good. The final moments see Funk try to piledrive Andre but Andre flips him over his back and then comes crashing down on his chest for the 3-count! The crowd pops huge and Andre is the winner!

 

Gorilla and Jesse put over this chaotic event and how Funk went all the way until the end. Andre rides into the sunset as a true hero to all of these fans. Gorilla and Jesse then put over the big IC Title match coming up next!

 

We cut to special video of how our IC title match came to be. Jerry Lawler showed up in the WWF in December of 1986. At the Rumble in the Bronx he was in the final four with Reed, Gang, and Savage. He and Gang tried to team up on Savage but the Macho Man turned the tide and eliminated the Gang and then Lawler. Lawler went into the King of the Ring and beat Curt Hennig in the Finals. He then tried to dismantle Hennig only for Savage to come back and help him. Lawler then pulled out all the stops when he piledrove Savage on the concrete floor in front of Elizabeth. Savage was out for weeks and this is his first night back… will he have ring rust against the WWF’s King of the Ring or will the former King and current IC Champion reign supreme again?

 

We get some fun entrances from Savage who comes out wearing white tights and white boots and looking swank AF. Lawler has got a black singlet with white trim. He holds the crown up high and is screaming for the fans to bow down to him.

 

INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Randy Savage © w/ Elizabeth vs Jerry the King Lawler

-What a moment here with a matchup that many thought would never happen. We’ve got two of the best in their prime right now and the crowd is going wild for Savage. He is up there with Andre in terms of a pop and Jesse and Gorilla put him over but wonder just what effect his head injury will have. These guys get into a 22-minute dance of move for move and then some outside brawling that raises the stakes. These two guys throw some big time bombs and Lawler even pulls down the strap outside the ring. Savage is able to turn the tide and hit a great double axe-handle smash outside which gets the crowd buzzing. The referee tries to get involved but he ends up getting knocked down for his presence. We then see Lawler ram Savage’s head into the ring post and he’s knocked out. His body is somewhat lifeless as Lawler picks him up and gives him a piledriver outside the ring on the floor and the fans are going nuts! Savage is down and out. Gorilla is going nuts on commentary while Jesse is just putting this over in a big way. Lawler picks up the referee and tosses him into the ring but he’s out of it. Then Lawler does the unthinkable… he grabs Elizabeth’s hand and pulls her into the ring. Lawler says she is going to bow down and kiss his feet but Liz won’t do it! The crowd is stirring because out of nowhere… it is Savage… he is climbing up the turnbuckle… oh my… Lawler yells at Elizabeth but she SMACKS him something good and he turns around for Savage who hits the double axe-handle smash. Savage grabs Lawler and gives him his own piledriver! The crowd is going wild right now. Savage goes up top… from across the ring… FLYING ELBOW DROP for the 1…...2…...3!!! Savage has won it! Savage retains the title! The crowd EXPLODES! We see him riding the cart to the back with Elizabeth… he’s holding the title and his woman… the fans are in tears!

 

Mean Gene is standing by with Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, and Bobby Heenan. - They each take turns running down their opponents tonight…

 

Bobby Heenan: Let me just set the record straight. One year ago… Barry Windham told me about an opportunity and I am the one who invested in it and took it and look at where we’re at now. The Horsemen have ruled the WWF for one year and no one has even come close. We’ve held the titles but tonight… tonight we right all the wrongs and that starts with you Barry Windham!

 

Tully: A lot of people out ere talking about over 60,000 people in the Astrodome… well boys and girls… this is Horsemen country. I have been tearing up the city of Houston with Gino Hernandez for years! Tonight… we come out and we do what we said we’re going to do and finish off Windham and his old man once and for all!

 

Arn: When the world turns we get night and day and when it rotates around the sun we have a year. In that rotation we have seen a lot of men come and go but the Horsemen have stood the test of time. Barry Windham, tonight, I want you to know this… every single man, woman, and child out there is going to watch something special happen tonight… They are going to be taken back to their childhood and reminded of a great story… that story is Old Yeller… and boy… we didn’t cry when Old Yeller died and tonight we won’t shed a tear!

 

Ric Flair: What we’ve got here is the making of history right before our very eyes. The world is watching the greatest event in the history of sports and entertainment. It transcends professional wrestling. This is a night that all the naysayers… all the fools out there thought would never happen. They said it was dead and that no one could rise it from the ashes well look alive folks because by God we’re here! We are in custom made suits… we’re draped in tradition that is second to none and world renowned for the greatest we have achieved and WILL achieve. Every single obstacle in our path has been pushed over or run through and tonight… Hulk Hogan… you are the biggest boulder. You are nothing but a pebble in the life of Ric Flair… you are like that pebble… you know in the bottom of your shoe… well I am going to drop that pebble in the ocean of life tonight and I am going to rise from the waves with the world title by my side… with a tear in my eye I will announce to the world that I am THE MAN in this business! Hogan… understand this… when it is all said and done tonight… you will know that you were in the ring with the greatest professional wrestler in the world and you couldn’t hang… WOOOOO!

 

Mean Gene: Oh please… let’s take a look at how this all came to be...

 

Where to begin… perhaps Boston almost a year ago? Flair won the title only for Hogan to never get a one on one shot until now! Flair dispersed many different bounty hunters with up to $100,000 on the line but none of them could finish the job. Hogan and Windham fought for a number one contenders match at Rumble in the Bronx and put on a classic. The finish saw Hogan earn the match and then it was Flair who challenged him. At King of the Ring, the Horsemen were after Hogan in a six-man but with the help of Tito Santana and Jack Mulligan, Hogan won the match and then it was a straight line to WrestleMania. We’ve seen the contract signing… Hogan busted open by Flair… Hogan screaming that he’ll win the title on the Prime Time as a bloody mess. It comes to this. Flair has defeated so many in his path… even Hogan… tonight over 70,000 people will watch these two Icons of professional wrestling lay claim to the most important championship in the the world… who walks out with the gold?

 

Mean Gene is standing by with Hulk Hogan…

 

Mean Gene: Hulk… we heard from the Horsemen… we heard from Ric Flair…. Tonight… it is a year in the making and you finally get your shot at the title…

 

Hulk Hogan: Well you know something Mean Gene… tonight is about more than titles dude… tonight is about pride… it is about believing in yourself. It is about going out in front of 60,000 people and showing every single one of them every single ounce of blood, sweat, and tears you have in your body! Ric Flair… you have come out here and said you’re the man… well… you said it before and I will say it again… to be the MAN… you have got to BEAT the MAN and Ric Flair… I am the MAN standing in front of you brother and tonight I am going to show the world why Hulkamania is the strongest force in the world. For all the people out there in the audience and the millions at home… I am going to prove to you and the rest of the world that Hulkamania will live forever. Whether it is the sweat of my brow or by the blood… tonight I am going to regain the WWF Title and once again Hulkamania will be on top of the mountain and WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN IT COMES CRASHING DOWN ON YOUUUUUU!!!!!! ARRGGHHHHH!

 

Mean Gene: Fans it doesn’t get any bigger than this… let’s go to the ring!

 

Barry Windham & Blackjack Mulligan vs Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard w/ Bobby Heenan

-Big time semi-main event level match here with a lot on the line. With the Rockers and Dream Team making claim along with the new tag team champions Demolition… those titles are certainly up for grabs for a team who can come out but titles are just a mere aspect of this feud. We see these guys go about 16-minutes and what a fight it is. We see the Horsemen get some serious heat on Barry Windham to the point where he can barely stand and his father is aching to get the tag and when he does he comes in like a house of fire and just beats the living hell out of Arn and Tully. They are able to break it down again and then get another set of heat on Blackjack who looks like a grizzled veteran who can barely stand the beating. He makes the big tag to Barry and he comes in like a house of fire with his own shots. The finish of the match is hot with both teams getting involved. We see Heenan get involved outside the ring with Windham which leaves Mulligan inside the ring and he gets double teamed for a SPIKE PILEDRIVER for the 3-count right as Barry dives back into the ring! The crowd is upset as Heenan and the Horsemen do get the victory…. Blackjack gets to his knees and looks up at Barry. Mulligan is crying as Windham helps him up and they hug. They may have lost the battle but the war is far from over. The crowd is going nuts…

 

Gorilla and Jesse put this over huge and talk about how the Horsemen have the momentum now and how that could carry over into the main event. We then get into the ring as Gene Okerlund is standing…

 

Mean Gene: I want to take a moment and thank all of you fans for joining us here in the Houston Astrodome! This has been an event that is unparalleled in the history of sports and entertainment. So much so that we have set an attendance record for the Astrodome… you 65,387! Thank you for joining us!

 

Brutus Beefcake vs The Honky Tonk Man w/ Jimmy Hart

-Gorilla and Jesse banter about the number and we get a fun little 6-minute match while people take a shit and get a beer for the main event. Nothing too exciting… Honky and Beefer go about it in an easy way with some fun offense. The finish sees Jimmy distract the referee and Honky nail Beefcake in the back with the guitar before getting in the ring for the count out victory. Beefcake then brings the guitar back in and finishes the job smashing it on Honky’s back and then cutting some of Jimmy Hart’s hair as Jesse says this is an insult!

 

Gorilla and Jesse then run it down for our main event. They put it all on line with it being so much more than just the WWF title. They talk about the history of the title and how Hogan has been champion for so long and now Flair has held the title for an extended length. They put over how anything could happen and it probably will as we cut to the ring for the introductions.

 

We see both men come out with great entrances. Flair is in a powder blue robe with white trim. He walks down to the aisle… that long walk… the crowd is stirring as Flair gets into the ring and stands still. We then hear the absolutely mind-crushing POP for Hogan who comes out going absolutely WILD! He is talking up a storm. He is clapping hands and pointing into the ring. The fans are just going NUTS right now and Jesse says he can’t even hear himself think! We head to the The Fink!

 

Howard Finkel: Ladies and gentlemen… this is our main event of the evening and it is for the WWF Heavyweight Championship of the World! Introducing first… the challenger. He hails from Venice Beach, California! He is the former WWF Heavyweight Champion of the world. Ladies and gentlemen… the IMMORTAL HULK HOGAN!

Howard Finkel: His opponent… the champion! He hails from Charlotte, North Carolina. He is the reigning and defending WWF Heavyweight Champion of the World! Ladies and gentlemen… the NATURE BOY… RIC FLAIR!

WWF CHAMPIONSHIP

Hulk Hogan vs Ric Flair © w/ Bobby Heenan

-This is it… the moment we’ve all been waiting for… Hogan and Flair one on one. For 28-minutes… we see Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair tell a story that is unparalleled. We see Hogan get the upperhand early… he controls Flair early and shows off his power. Flair has to regroup with Bobby Heenan and they come up with a plan. We get the second part of the match in which Flair clips the knee. He then goes to work and Hogan does everything he can to try and kick him away and get free but nothing doing. Flair even hits a bodyslam. He breaks the knee down something awful and Hogan makes his first flurry and gets control again and they go outside to brawl The crowd stirs as they come back in the ring and Flair once again clips the knee. He goes to work in a big way and Jesse says that Hogan won’t be able to move. Flair then locks in the figure-four in the middle of the ring and the crowd is stirring. Hogan looks to be writhing in pain in a serious way. He is hurting bad and Flair locks it in and rocks back an forth and then Hogan goes down for a 1….2….HOGAN POPS UP AND HE POINTS AT FLAIR! The crowd explodes when Hogan pulls Flair’s leg off and they separate and then Hogan begins to Hulk up as Flair starts throwing some shots and Hogan gets up. He hammers on Flair and the crowd is going wild as Flair gets tossed to the ropes and Hogan throws up the big boot and then Flair goes flying over the top rope to the floor! Flair gets up and he is busted as Hogan comes out and he is hammering down on him and then Heenan comes from behind but Hogan turns around and smashes him before he bodyslams him on the outside mat! Joey Marella is checking on Heenan and here comes Flair from behind with the title and Hogan slams into the ringpost and now Hogan is busted wide open. We get a couple more minutes of brawling as both men get back in the ring and we get the Flair turnbuckle spot and Hogan tosses him across the ring and the crowd pops! Hogan is still Hulked up and Flair comes and here is a huge press slam! Hogan picks him up for a couple more shots and goes for a bodyslam but Flair goes over his back. Flair with a knee to his back and Hogan nails the turnbuckle and Flair clips the knee again! Flair goes for the figure-four but Hogan kicks him into the ringpost and pops up as Flair turns around and here comes Hogan with an AXE BOMBER! Hogan hits the ropes and LEG DROP! 1….2…..3!!!

I want to take a moment and thank everyone for the opportunity to take the reigns of this project and finish it here with this show. It has been a pleasure putting together some really fun shows and hopefully helping people hone their craft of writing shows.

And we're wrapping up this fantastic project with a bang. It couldn't have ended other than with Hogan winning the WWF Championship back. Of course, we'll always wonder what could've been afterwards but still, I'm gonna leave this Project with some great memories. I gotta thank you for bringing me in as I had the time of my life with this. And I know it'll continue with our other project! :)

I totally agree with Edger. This project ended on the best high possible. I loved reading this project and then had a blast participating in it. You guys did an outstanding job! 

Thanks again LowBlow for wrapping it all up with WrestleMania 3. 

What a historic night at the historic Astrodome. Show kicks off with none other than Kenny Rogers! Nice touch. 

Hot opener as the Rockers defeat the Russians to heat up the crowd. 

Exciting 8 man tag follows. Showing his frustration, Bad News ditches his partners leaving Hercules to take the fall. I'm really happy Tito got the pin here. The WWF workhorse deserved the moment. 

It was fun watching the build of Hennig and he continues to rise to superstardom with a huge win over Kamala.

Rougeau's put up a fight but man Bravo and Valentine looked brutal here as they get the victory. 

Butch Reed gets an amazing Wrestlemania win over OMG, solidifying himself as a big time face. Good hard hitting brawl. 

Wow! Demolition regain the titles in a fantastic match with the Harts. This match was a year in the making and the payoff was well worth the wait. The fans might not of liked the outcome but the match was incredible.

Things just keep turning up as Andre and Funk tear the Dome down with a wild and crazy brawl. Funk looks double tough but in the end Andre prevails and rides out a hero. 

I had to catch my breath before going into Savage/Lawler LOL. Another outstanding match full of drama and action. If there's one thing that could wake Savage up from a piledriver on the concrete, it's Lawler messing with Liz. Savage regroups and piledrives Lawler and hits the flying elbow for the decisive victory!

Very personal and emotional match with Windham/Mulligan and Arn/Tully. The action is back and forth with Arn/Tully finally able to finish Mulligan off. They might of lost but Windham and Mulligan showed family means more.

LOL, fun little cool down match between HTM and Brutus with a fun finish. Brutus gets a little payback by cutting some of Jimmy's hair. 

Now we get to literally the biggest match of the year. The build to this was full of obstacles, bounty's, twists, turns and intrigue. What an amazing ride this has been and now it's time for Flair and Hogan, one on one! 

The match more than delivered and had the crowd on the edge of their seats. We get all the Hogan and Flair spots. Then both men get busted up and even Heenan takes a massive bump. Flair works the leg and applies the figure four but Hogan Hulks up! Flair still comes back but the power of Hulkamania was to strong and Hogan puts him down with the famous leg drop and regains the WWF Championship! The epic night ends with 65,387 fans running wild as Hogan celebrates with the title! 

LowBlow, you went out with a bang brother!
