spaldoni Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 It's so great reading Monsoon and Heenan's classic banter After all the promos, I'm hyped for SNME Nailz vs. Bossman is going to be one hell of a brawl. Speaking of brawls, Dusty and Duggan vs. The Outlaws is going to give the northern fans an old school southern show. I'm looking forward to Tito's surprise I can't imagine who Rude and Warrior's opponents will be. I'll be tuning in to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 So many great feuds going on here. Tito and the Northern Invasion Nailz-Bossman Dusty-Funk Manny-Hacksaw The tag team chaos Can't wait for Mania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistic Dragon Posted March 2 Author Report Share Posted March 2 March 1, 1990 Beeghly Center in Youngstown, Ohio *Terry Funk & Manny Fernandez are standing in front of a WrestleMania VI banner* Funk: Tonight The Texas Outlaws have come to this God forsaken one horse town to do one thing and one thing only *jabs his branding iron towards the camera* And that's leave our mark on those two inbred jackasses Dusty Rhodes & Jim Duggan! *Cuts to Big Boss Man* Boss: Nailz tonight i'm not gonna have to worry about reading you your rights because the only right you have tonight is the right to the country sized whooping you got coming to you boy! *Cut to Bobby Heenan and Rick Rude who has the WWF title over his shoulder* Heenan: Just when i think my opinion of the humanoids can't get any lower they force me to rethink it. Can you believe there's actually people out there who think that there's anyone on the WWF roster willing to take on THIS man *points to Rude* the greatest wrestler on God's green earth on behalf of that painted up lunatic. Rude: It's absolutely laughable Bobby but I don't mind, after all there's nothing I love more than to see all my doubters get another Rude Awakening. *makes a kissing motion to the camera* *Cuts to The Ultimate Warrior* Warrior: Tonight I march into the unknown, blinded to the dangers that await me. But I march armed with the belief of all the little Warriors all around the world and that is power that is greater than all the forces of darkness put together and with their power, I shall cut a path of brilliance all the way to the halls of the Gods themselves! *Cut to the Northern Invasion* Martin: I have assembled ze greatest collection of talent from ze greatest nation in all of ze world, Canada! And tonight we shall prove our superiority to all ze ignorant Americans watching. After Vince McMahon & Gorilla Monsoon welcome us to the show they send us to "Mean" Gene who's with Tito Santana & The Commonwealth. Tito says this feud with Dino has gotten out of hand but tonight he's created the perfect team to deal with Dino and his buddies. In the Commonwealth he has a British wrestling legend and the hottest prospect to come out of Canada in some time to deal with the Rougeau Brothers and as for Earthquake, if he wants to find the man they brought in to deal with him, he just has to look up. * We cut back to the arena where "The Maple Leaf Forever" comes over the pa system. The arena erupts in boos as Martin leads his men to the ring waving the Canadian fag the whole way* Howard Finkle: Ladies and gentlemen, this is your opening contest, it is an eight Man Tag team match and is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, accompanied by their manager "Le Commandant" Frenchy Martin at a combined weight of 1,168 pounds lbs, they are the team of the "World's Strongest Man" Dino Bravo, "The Walking Natural Disaster' Earthquake & the WWF United States Tag Team Champions, Jacues & Raymond The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers, they are the Northern Invasion! *The Canadians work the crowd until a a new theme comes over the pa* Finkle: And their opponents, first from Tocula, Mexico, weighing 232 lbs, he is the WWF Intercontinental Champion Tito Santana *Santana stops at the top of the aisle. He takes in the cheers until "God Save The King" begins to play* and his partners at a combined weight of 454 lbs, Dynamite Kid & Chris Benoit The Commonwealth *They meet up with Tito and trade high fives. The crowd is abuzz waiting for their partner to arrive. When he does ther's no music but he doesn't need any* and rounding out the team, from Grenoble in the French Alps, standing 7'4 weighing 520 lbs, "The 8th Wonder of the World" Andre the Giant! While the hottest exchanges are between Santana and Bravo, you can tell the fans are waiting to see Andre and Earthquake and when the two big men finally find each other the roof just about comes off. Despite being in the perhaps unprecedented position of being the smaller man, Earthquake doesn't back down at all and lays into the beloved legend with the two brawling through the ropes. Things start to break down but in the chaos it's young Benoit who come through for his team when he catches Raymond in a "Dragon suplex" for the three count! *Commercial including ad for WrestleMania VI which airs live on pay-per-view from the Skydome in Toronto, Ontario Canada on April 6th* *As the camera pans the audience it focuses on Jake "The Snake" Roberts who's seated front row! Commentary speculate on why he's here as to their knowledge he's not employed by the World Wrestling Federation* Sean Mooney is standing by with Dusty Rhodes & Jim Duggan. Rhodes says the war between he & Funk has spanned many years and several companies and sometimes he wonders if it will ever end. He reminds people that he was one of the Original Texas Outlaws and it makes him sick that Funk is tainting the name of something he started and was proud of. Duggan says he's run into Fernandez before and never had a problem with him until he let Funk get in his head, well tonight he says he's gonna do Manny a favor and knock some sense into him. *Cut back to the ring* Finkel: The following contest is a Pick your Poison match, it is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first from Parts Unknown, weighing 280 lbs, he is the winner of the 190 Royal Rumble, The Ultimate Warrior! *The fans are on their feet as Warrior sprints to the ring. Warriors paces about as he awaits his opponent* and his opponent, accompanied by his manager "The Doctor of Style" Slick, weighing 300 lbs. "The Human Wrecking Machine" Zeus! Power moves galore between these two with neither man giving an inch. This is the first time Zeus is gooing one one one with a man who can match him not just in strength but also the ability to absorb punishment and you get the feeling he doesn't really know how to respond. He decides to take things to the outside where he repeatedly whips Warrior between the ring apron and the guardrail. The ref counts to ten but you can tell Zeus couldn't care less. He lifts Warrior up and drops him chest first on the guardrail once,twice, three times! Warrior is in a bad way as an oddly happy Slick leads Zeus away. As he does, the camera overhears hims saying they "earned their money tonight." *Commercials including ad for WrestleMania VI* *Commentary recaps the attack by Zeus on the Ultimate Warrior and announce Warrior has been escorted to the trainer's office for an initial evaluation.* Finkel: The following contest is a Pick your Poison match and is scheduled for one fall *A woman breathlessly says "Simply Ravishing" before "Smooth Operator" by Sade plays throughout the arena.* Introducing first, accompanied by Bobby "The Brain" Heenan and representing the Heenan Family from Robbinsdale, Minnesota, weighing 252 pounds, he is your World Wrestling Federation Champion., "Ravishing" Rick Rude! *Rude swaggers up to Finkel and swipes the mic away without sparing the announcer so much as a sideways glance* Rude: Cut the music. What'd I'd like to have right now is for all you fat, sweaty, beer bellied Youngstown yahoos to keep the noise down while I take my robe off and show the ladies what a real man, and especially what a real champion looks like, hit the music. *"Smooth Operator" hits up again as the boos rain down but as soon as the robe is off it's drowned out by a distinctively feminine cry of appreciation as the robe comes off. He poses while Heenan holds the title high, ending by flicking whatever he has sprayed on at the camera* *Rude casually strolls around the ring until "The Yellow Rose of Texas" starts up* Finkel: And his opponent from Dallas, Texas weighing 235 lbs, "The Golden Warrior" Kevin Von Wrich! Suffice to say a much more athletic and scientific match than the previous encounter. Von Erich really lights up the champ and Heenan is starting to get nervous. Von Erich manages to get the "Iron Claw" on Rude which causes Heenan to get up on the apron. Von Erich sees this and breaks the hold before going over and slapping the claw on Heenan which gets him quite the pop! Unfortunately this gives rude time to recover and he delivers a running knee to Von Erich's back and rolls him up with his feet on the ropes for the tainted victory. "Mean" Gene is down with Roberts and tries to ask what he's doing here but Roberts is evasive. He says snakes are the most dangerous creatures on earth because they've perfected the art at striking at the right time against the right prey and from what he can see there's plenty of prey to be had in the World Wrestling Federation. Finkel: The following contest is a nightstick on a pole match and is scheduled for one fall *The crowd pops as *Hard Times" comes over the pa* Introducing first from Cobb County Georgia, weighing 330 lbs, The Big Boss Man *Boss Man is all business as he marches to the ring, his mood only darkens as "Hard Time Theme" starts up* and his opponent accompanied by "The Doctor of Style" Slick, weighing 302 lbs Nailz! Nailz rushes the ring and he & Boss Man start throwing hands leaving Finkel to head for the hills. The bad blood couldn't be more apparent as it takes ten minutes or so before one of them even ries to retrieve the nightstick. Boss Man nearly has it bust Slick goes to stop him. Boss Man shoves him down but Nailz delivers an ax handle to the back before getting underneath so he could deliver a powerbomb. Nailz then goes up and retrieves the stick. After several stiff shots Nailz camps on "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" using the stick for added leverage. Boss Man struggles as best he can but eventually passes out. It takes the raf and several security guards to pull Nailz off and makes sure he leaves without further incident. Final commercial break* Finkel: Ladies and gentlemen, this is your main event of the evening *pop* It is a tag team match scheduled for one fall *"Man with a Harmonica" starts up earning massive boos* Introducing team number 1 and representing The Texas Outlaws, first from El Paso Texas, weighing 275 lbs "Raging Bull" Manny Fernanadez and his partner from the Double Cross Ranch outside Amarillo, Texas,weighing 247 pounds, Terry Funk! *The Outlaws, mostly Funk, are yelling abuse at the crowd when "Two by Four" starts up* And their opponents, first from Glenn Falls, New York weighing, weighing 270 lbs "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan! *Duggan stops right at the end of the aisle and points to the entrance with a grin as "Common Man Boogie" starts up* and his partner from Austin Texas, weighing 275 lbs, "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes! The WWF may be in Ohio but the tag match that plays out could take place anywhere in the south. The Outlaws isolate Duggan for a good chunk and really work him over. Eventually Duggan ducks a double clothesline and makes the hot tag to a huge pop. Things break down and while the ref is trying to corral Duggan, Funk grabs the branding iron while Manny holds Rhodes in place. Dusty moves at the last second meaning Funk cracks his own partner in the head. He charges Rhodes who backdrops him over the top before delivering a "Bionic Elbow" for the three!

spaldoni Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 The promos set the SNME tone and we're ready to go! Wow, Tito couldn't have picked a better partner to deal with Earthquake. Fun 8 man tag to kick things off with Tito's team getting the hot win. This match got the crowd going. Whoa, what's Jake doing here? Damn, Slick's right, Zeus earned his money tonight. Warrior's in bad shape Kevin gives Heenan and Rude a real scare, but Rude edges out the win. Warrior got the worst part of this deal. Jake's the master of being evasive lol Nailz put a hurting on Bossman. We'll see how Bossman recovers from this. Awesome southern tag ends the night. Dusty takes advantage of Funk's miscue to get the win. I hoping we get Dusty and Funk, one on one. Next stop, WrestleMania! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 Great show! Loved all the promos in the beginning to get things started. Was surprised at many of the results tonight which for me, is always a good thing. I love the chaos! Benoit being the one to get the win really helps build him up. Zeus becomes a huge deal with the beating he gave the Warrior! Same goes for Nailz! Really great job at setting things up for Wrestlemania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistic Dragon Posted March 6 Author Report Share Posted March 6 Airing on 3/5/90 on HBO. *Unless stated otherwise matches were taped at the Winnipeg Arena in Winnipeg, Manatoba Canada* Heenan & Monsoon welcome everyone to the studio and hype the events from SNME. They say they'll have news regarding the fallout of that event as well as a number of updates regarding the approaching WrestleMania V!. Match #1 The Genius defeats Koko B. Ware by countering the "Ghost Buster" into an inside cradle with a handful of tights. WWF Update: Mean Gene recaps the surprise appearance of Jake "The Snake" Roberts at SNME and says his sources are at a loss at what the notorious wrestler's goals could be so far. Match #2 (RAW) The Fantastics (Bobby Fulton & Tommy Rogers) defeat two jobbers with the 'Rocker Launcher" Match #3 Hillbilly Jim defeats El Gato (Paul Diamond in a mask) with a bearhug. Footage is played of Zeus' attack on The Ultimate Warrior and SLick's remark about "earning their money". Monsoon focuses on that and pointedly asks Heenan if HE knows anything about that. Heenan puffs up and says Slick could've been talking about anyone because nobody likes the Ultimate Warrior. Hell he says he wouldn't be surprised if Warrior himself paid them to do that so he has an excuse for when Rude wipes the floor with him at WrestleMania. A bewildered Monsoon sends us to the next match. Match #4 (RAW) King Haku leaves some poor soul a lifeless husk with the Tongan Death Grip. Match #5 The American Eagles (Justice & Liberty ) defeat The Bolshieviks (Boris Zhukov & Nikolai Volkoff) by DQ when the ref caught Zhukov hitting Justice with the Soviet flag. Back in the studio it's announced these two teams will go at one more time at WrestleMania in a FLAG MATCH! Match #6 "The Walking Natural Disaster" Earthquake w/"Le Commendant" Frenchy Martin defeats Mark Ming with the "Earthquake Splash". Split screen promo sees Earthquake call out Andre saying it's time a new giant reigned in the WWF. Mean Gene gives the WrestleMania VI report and delivers the breaking news that due to Benoit pinning Raymond in the 8 man tag at SNME, The Commonwealth will Challenge for the WWF United States Tag Team Titles at Mania! Feature Match WWF Intercontinental Championship. Tito Santana(c) defeats Mr Saito w/"The Devious" Mr Fuji by countering a larat into a Crucifix pin. After the match Dino Bravo charges the ring and a pull apart ensues. After security breaks things up Santana grabs the mic and says he's sick and tired of Bravo's cheap tricks and if Bravo wants his title so badly he can can fight for it like a man because Santana is challenging him to a match at WrestleMania!

LowBlowPodcast Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 Huge SNME and then we come back for Prime Time... I love the promos and the write-ups for the show. You jumped right into the WWF feel and hit on all cylinders. Jake Roberts showing up is huge and a big boost for the WWF - he is an instant star - and could pop right to the top of any side of the card. Then you've got Funk - Dusty oh yeah Rude and Earthquake - WWF is cooking right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 We're on the road to WrestleMania! I'm looking forward to seeing what you have planned for the Genius. Whatever ensues, I'm sure Jake will find his way to Mania Cool seeing the Fantastics pop up here The Zeus story is intriguing and we'll see how this plays out in the Mania world title match Whose man enough to try and take the crown from Haku. This is the push he should have got IRL. Nice job Eagles and Russians in a flag match at Mania. Classic Oh man, I think we're going to see Quake and Andre one on one at Mania! The Commonwealth get their big shot on the grandest stage When the champ issues the challenge, he isn't messing around. I've loved this feud.

Autistic Dragon Posted March 12 Author Report Share Posted March 12 Airing on 3/12/90 on HBO. *Unless stated otherwise matches were taped at the Rochester Community War Memorial in Rochester NY* Match #1 (RAW) The Commonwealth (Dynamite Kid & Chris Benoit) defeat The Nightstlaker & The Comet Kid Paul Diamond in a mask) when Benoit pinned Kid with a "Dragon" suplex. Benoit is really winning the fans over with his technical ability. After the match Nightstalker snaps and plants Kid with a chokeslam. Back in the studio Monsoon hypes the Commonwealth's chances of becoming the United States Tag champs but Heenan says the Rougeaou's are the craftiest team he knows and he's sure they'll have a plan come Mania. WrestleMania Update: We get a promo from Andre who says he wasn't bothered by Earthquake's "new giant" talk because he's heard it all before. Big John Studd, King Kong Bundy, Giant Haystacks, Giant Gonzalez and plenty more all thought they were going to take the title of wrestling's one true giant from him but they're all gone and he's still here. If Earthquake wants to join them, he's welcome to try an Mania! Match #2 "The Golden Warrior" Kevin Von Erich defeats Brian Christopher with the "Iron Claw". Jake Roberts enters the ring after the match and Von Erich is immediately on edge. Roberts offers a handshake but Von Erich backs out of the ring, never taking his eyes off Roberts, who's all smiles the whole time. We get another update confirming that the Tito Santana/Dino Bravo rematch for the IC title is on for Mania. Match #3 "The Mastodon" Vader w/"The Devious" Mr Fuji flattens Ricki Ataki with Powerbomb. He keeps beating on Ataki after the bell to the delight of Fuji but Billy Jack Haynes comes down and pulls him off. Vader actually looks excited to fight someone his size but Fuji gets in the ring and talks him down. We get a replay of the Rude?Warrior promos from a recent episode of Wrestling Challenge. Match #4 (Wrestling Challenge) Tugboat defeats Randy Jones with the "Capsize". Event Center: Mooney plays us a pair of promos from The American Eagles & The Bolsheviks regarding their flag match at Mania. Match #5 non title. The Powers of Pain (Barbarian & Warlord) w/Bobby "The Brain" Heenan defeat The Bushwhackers (Luke & Butch) with the "Pain Train" on Butch. PoP grab a pair of chairs and look to do serious damage when Demolition run down and it seems to take every security guard in the state of New York to separate them. Back in the studio Monsoon reveals that at Mania, The PoP will defend the WWF Tag Team Titles against Demolition in a Toronto Street Fight! Heenan says he's got the best lawyers money can buy to get this decision overturned to which Monsoon wishes luck with enough sarcasm to choke a rhino. Feature Match (RAW) Ameria's Team (Dusty Rhodes & Jim Duggan) defeat The Texas Outlaws (Black Bart & Dick Murdoch) when Duggan pins Bart with the "Three Point" lariat. Funk and Fernandez hit the ring and a 4 on 2 beat down is on that leaves' both their rivals laying and Rhodes actually cut open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Dusty bleeding ... what are the odds? Seriously, I can imagine that feature match being a serious hell raiser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 The Commonwealth are tuned up and ready for Mania. Liked the Nightstalker snapping. Interested to see where this goes. Will Earthquake be the monster who finally takes down the true giant. Hmmmmm, what are Jake's motives? I don't blame Kevin for being overly cautious Vader vs. Billy Jack, bring it on! The promos are setting things up nicely for Mania POP and Demolition are heading for an explosive pay off at Mania Funk makes Dusty bleed. Things got real. Get ready WWF, because Funk and Dusty are getting down one more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistic Dragon Posted March 20 Author Report Share Posted March 20 Airing 3/19/90 on HBO. *Unless stated otherwise matches were taped at the Springfield Civic Center in Springfield, Mass* Match #1 Mr Saito w/"The Devious" Mr Fuji defeats Bob Allen with the "Prison Lock" (kneeling figure four) Mean Gene's update is a doozy this week as he reveals two huge matches that have been set up for Mania. First "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan will go one on one with the "Raging Bull" Manny Fernandez. And that not all because by request of both men, and out of consideration to the lengthy rivalry they've shared over the years, "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes will face the leader of the Texas Outlaws Terry Funk in a TEXAS BULLROPE MATCH! Match #2 (RAW) Jake "The Snake" Roberts defeats Joe Cephus. Roberts offers a handshake which is accepted after some hesitation. As soon as the bell rings however Roberts doubles Cephus over with a boot and spikes him with a DDT. Roberts never stops smiling. Match #3 (RAW) Billy Jack Haynes defeats Eddie Beesbury with the Full Nelson. Split screen sees Haynes tell Vader to come find him whenever the Mastodon's ready to take on a real challenge. If Fuji lets him that is. We see a interview fro a recent episode of Wrestling Challenge between Mean Gene and Kevin Von Erich. Okerlund asks about the run in with Jake Roberts and Von Erich says he's known Jake a long time, ever since Roberts came to Texas to terrorize he & his brothers. Says he'll be keeping an eye on Roberts who better not stop out of line. Sean Mooney reminds people how they can get WrestleMania and segways into promos. Earthquake says his match with Andre has been made official and it'll be the honor of his career to be the man who retires Andre the Giant. Demolition say they'll run though Barbarian, Warlord AND Heenan to get THEIR tag titles back! Back in the studio, a clearly rattled Heenan says by the time the PoP are done with them, Demolition will be able to be shipped back to the states in their own luggage! Match #4 Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka defeats The Genius with the "Superfly splash". As his hand is being raised Snuka looks down the camera and tells Haku he hasn't forgotten about him! Mean Gene gives his weekly WrestleMania Update. Match #5 non title WWF Intercontinental Champion Tito Santana defeats Steve Vega with the flying forearm. Heenan & Monsoon hype the WrestleMania main event....which of course means that Monsoon hypes the match while Heenan hypes Rick Rude. Feature match. Bad News Brown vs "Northern Light" Hiroshi Hase ends in a time limit draw. Slick came to ringside and actually tried to get involved. He presumably meant to trip Hase as Brown sent him off the ropes but Hase reversed it and Slick tripped Brown. The two got into an argument before the ref sent Slick to the back.

spaldoni Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 WrestleMania is really shaping up. Hacksaw vs. The Raging Bull is going to be a true southern style brawl. I'll never get tired of watching Funk and Dusty go at it. And now they get to do it on the biggest platform. Jake's great. You just never know what his true intentions are. I'm liking this set up between him and KVE. Haynes is very confident in challenging Vader. Be careful what you wish for. Snuka and Haku will be a great collision. Slick's on very thin ice with Brown. He better watch himself. Excellent job building to Mania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control21 Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 The Road to WrestleMania is heating up! Bad News Brown vs Hiroshi Hase sounded like a great match. Hopefully, those two share some of the spotlight at the big event. I'm also enjoying your use of Vader so far. He feels like a big deal. Speaking of a big deal, Kevin von Erich seems to making a breakthrough in 1990. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistic Dragon Posted March 26 Author Report Share Posted March 26 Airing on 3/26.90 on HBO. *Unless stated otherwise matches were taped at the Coliseum in Richfield, Ohio* Match #1 (Wrestling Challenge) Big Boss Man defeats Rick Lawless with the "Boss Man Slam". Split screen promo sees Boss Man say Nailz may have slipped past him at SNME but he should know better than anyone that you can't escape justice forever! WretleMania Update: Mean Gene tells the fans that next week will be a special "March to WrestleMania" edition of Prime Time we he'll run down the full, finalized card for Toronto. Match #2 "World's Strongest Man" Dino Bravo w/"Le Commendant" Frenchy Martin defeats Batle Kat with the running Powerslam. Split screen has Dino saying that Santana was the luckiest man on earth at the Royal Rumble, by at WrestleMania, in his home country not even an act of God will keep him from becoming WWF Intercontinental Champion! WWF Update: Sean Mooney shows the crowd footage the WWF has obtained from the Beeghly Center in which Zeus & Slick, after their brutal assault on the Ultimate Warrior, walk behind the curtain and are met by Bobby Heenan & Rick Rude. There's no audio but Heenan & Slick shake hands and Heenan hands Slick a large envelope which Slick opens to reveal it's stuffed with cash! Mooney says that in light of evidence of a conspiracy between Heenan & Slick to injure The Ultimate Warrior ahead of WrestleMania Zeus has been indefinitely suspended & Slick's manager's license is "under review". Back in the studio Monsoon grills Heenan who says he is offended that the WWF has taken that video out of context. He says he was paying Slick the money he owned him from a poker game the previous evening and says he hopes Slick uses that money to hire Johnny Cochran to fight these horrible allegations. Match #3 (RAW) The Samoan Headhunters (Alofa & Kokina) w/"The Devious" Mr Fuji defeat Jerry Monti & Jim Gorman when Alofa planted Groman with a Samoan drop them tagged Kokina who drops the big sit from the second rope. Someone get a shovel. We see a vignette that aired on a recent episode of RAW. It's full of viking imagery and heralds the arrival of a "mighty warrior". Match #4 Silver King defeats The Genius with a "La Magistral" cradle. Match #5 Dr Tom Prichard defeats Steve Vega with a running bulldog. Monsoon tells the fans that a half hour special called "Free for All" will air for free on the PPV channel before WresltMania. This special will have interviews with your favorite WWF Superstars, last minute updates as well as an exclusive match. Feature Match. The Killer Bees (B. Brian Blair & Jim Brunzell) w/"The Guiding Light" Capt Lou Albano defeat Badd Company (Pat Tanaka & Paul Diamond) w/"The Doctor of Style" Slick. BC went for a double back body drop on Brunzell who performed a sunset flip on Diamond. Tanaka tried to help his partner maintain balance but a dropkick from Blair caused him to let go allowing Brunzell to take Diamond over for the three count.

spaldoni Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 Man I can't wait for the Bossman/Nailz explosive match up Love the split screen promos. Quick and effective. Santana and Bravo might steal the show at Mania Looks like Warrior wont have to worry about Zeus at Mania. We'll see if Slick can get out of this jam. I'm liking the Samoan Headhunters. Hopefully they get on the Mania card Looks like someone big and bad is coming to the WWF Silver King and Prichard get in some nice showcases The Free for All is a nice little added bonus to bring in some Mania buys Bees get a big win over Badd Co.

LowBlowPodcast Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Love the WrestleMania build.... I think Skydome may have the roof blown off with someone like Warrior coming out in a big way. I like Santana v Bravo but worry Bravo may walk away with the title on his homeland. Spectacular writing and set up with these shows.

Split screen Nailz says Boss Man loves talking about putting people through "hard time" but has no idea what that actually means. At Mania, Nailz says he's gonna show the whole world the true meaning of hard time. *Mooney cues up a pair of promos. Hacksaw says 'Mad Cow Manny" messed with the wrong man and at Mania he's gonna pull his horns off and hang'em over the Duggan family fireplace. Fuji says Jaynes will be the first proper demonstration of what Vader can do in a one on one match and thanks Haynes in advance for his sacrifice* Match #4 "The Walking Natural Disaster" Earthquake w/"Le Commendant" Frenchi Martin defeats Mark Starr with the "Earthquake splash". After he gets his hand raised, Quake drops another splash on Starr and years down the camera "That's for you Andre!" *Mooney kicks us to another pair of promos. Heenan -with his men gathered around him- says at WrestleMania The Heenan Family will rid the WWF of all their enemies in one fell swoop. Von Erich says Roberts may be a crafty man but his father taught him a long time ago the best way to deal with a snake was to cut it's head off* Match #5 Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka defeats Mark Ming with the "Superfly splash". The split screen sees a fired up Snuka vow to knock Haku off his throne and maybe knock his head off his shoulders! Monsoon tells the viewers that highlights of Mania will air on next weeks episode.

spaldoni Posted Thursday at 10:08 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:08 PM I've absolutely loved your build to Mania! Your shows have been very well organized and easy to follow. The TV showcases mixed in with split screen promos is classic WWF. The WrestleMania card is stacked and loaded. Every match means something and has a great story behind it. There's something for everybody on the card. Title matches, grudge matches as well as some mystery and intrigue surrounding certain match ups. Excited for Mania! See you at the Skydome!
