Autistic Dragon Posted April 9 Author Report Share Posted April 9 Airing 4/9/90 on HBO. *Unless stated otherwise matches were taped at the Onondaga War Memorial in Syracuse NY* *We start the show with Mean Gene narrating a highlight reel from WrestleMania VI* Match #1 (Wrestling Challenge) The Bushwhackers (Luke & Butch) defeat two jobbers with the "Bushwhacker Battering Ram". WWF Update: Mean Gene hypes that on April 28th the WWF is holding a special "double header" event, one half of which will take place in the Spectrum in Philadelphia with a absolutely massive main event as new WWF Champion The Ultimate Warrior defends against Earthquake! Back in the studio Heenan says Warrior better pray Earthquake takes the title off him because otherwise he has to deal with a ticked off Rick Rude. He also reminds people that as reigning King, Haku is set to challenge for the title at the King of the Rng PPV in London. Monsoon asks what Rude will do if Haku gets the title off Warrior first to which Heenan makes a lot of noise but doesn't actually say anything. Match #2 Tugboat squishes some The Comet Kid with the "Capsize". Sean Mooney takes us to a special video taped backstage at WrestleMania. Dusty Rhodes is in the trainers room getting checked on while the man who came to his rescue is standing by. Dusty says that as sore as he is he's never been prouder as a man and especially as a father. He introduces the taller blonde man as his eldest son "the apple of my eye & the fruit of my loins" Dustin Rhodes! Dustin steps forward and says he came to Mania to route his father on but when he saw what Funk and the Texas Outlaws were about to do, he couldn't help himself. He says that he;lol show the Outlaws or anyone else why you don't mess with the Rhodes family! Match #3 (RAW) Silver King takes the win with the "Silver Driver" (kneeling belly to belly Piledriver) The ending of the Toronto Street Fight plays with the large Viking themed man helping the POP retain. Monsoon says it's a good thing Heenan had that wild man nearby to bail his team out. Heenan says there are no rules in a street fight so he & his men didn't do anything wrong. He has unleashed The Berzerker on the WWF and he has one mission, to tear through anyone Heenan declares a threat to the Family. Match #4 Koko B. Ware defeats "Le Commandant" Frenchy Martin with the "Ghostbuster". Mean Gene is back with the second half of the "double header" event on the 28th. The WWF returns to the Boston Garden and in the main event the WWF Tag Team Championship will be on the line. Due to blatant interference at Mania, the championship committee has declared that The Powers of Pain will defend against Demolition one more time....inside a steel cage! Match #5 Hiro Hase defeats "Hollywood" Bob Holly with the "Northern Lights" suplex. Feature Match. Dr Tom Prichard defeats "Cowboy" Bob Orton Jr with a running bulldog.

spaldoni Posted Thursday at 10:13 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:13 PM Huge announcement with Warrior defending against Earthquake. Then we hear Warrior will defend against Haku. King of the Ring is the perfect setting for that. No doubt about it, Warrior has a lot of contenders lining up. Looking forward to the Rhodes working together. This is a good time in Dusty's career to tag up with his son. I'm hoping Silver King gets a push. I always thought he was pretty cool. Damn, the Berzerker will make an awesome gatekeeper for the Heenan Family. POP vs. Demolition inside the cage! Bring it on! Hase's been racking up some wins. Prichard and Orton are two guys that can deliver. Fun TV main event. Great follow up to Mania. I like the direction the WWF is going.
