Wrestlemania VI

 

This is the Coliseum Version BTW.

 

Live from Toronto, Canada. Your hosts are Jessie and Gorilla in the last show they’d call together

 

Vince narrates a package about how Hogan and Warrior are the biggest constellations or something.

 

Rick “The Model” Martel v. Koko B. Ware

 

Martel jumps him when the ref checks on Koko’s boots and basically kicks his ass. Koko gets crossbody for two and dropkicks and a backdrop. Koko clotheslines him out and brings him back in but Martel chucks him out. Back in- Martel kicks his ass and locks in Boston Crab. *-match was clipped

 

WHERE ARE THEY NOW- retired, indies

 

Sean Mooney is with Demolition.

 

The Colossal Connection (w/Brain) v. Demolition for the WWF Tag Titles

 

TCC won the belts in an upset on SNME. Andre pretty much couldn’t move. TCC attacks to start and Haku and Smash go. Smash kicks his ass and tags Ax but Haku gives him a shot to the throat and kicks his ass. Ax plays face-in-peril as Haku works him over and Andre cheats. Shoulderbreaker-2. Blind charge by Haku misses and Ax clotheslines him. Hot tag Smash who cleans house. Andre runs in (well whatever) and the Demos take him out. Andre holds Smash for Haku to kick but he ducks and Andre gets caught in the ropes. Demolition Decapitation for Haku and the crowd goes batshit. *1/2 This match didn’t suck that much. Post-match Brain is pissed beyond beliefs. He bitches out Andre who tries to explain himself and Brain slaps him. Andre slaps the shit out of him and kicks his ass and then kicks Haku’s ass too. Beain and Haku try to get on the cart and Andre kicks their ass again and leaves to the crowd giving him a standing ‘O’. Great moment

 

WHERE ARE THEY NOW- Andre is dead, Ax is retired, Smash works indies, Haku is in WWF.

 

Mean Gene is with Earthquake and Jimmy Hart.

 

Earthquake (w/Jimmy Hart) v. Hercules

 

Herc hammers away and outsmarts him so Quake bails. Back in- Quake shoves him and jumps up and down. Test of strength- Quake kicks his ass. Herc tries to knock him down and gets him down on one knee. Herc tries a backbreaker and gets elbowed and BUTT-splashed. DUD Post-match Quake splashes him again.

 

WHERE ARE THEY NOW- indies, ?

 

Rona Barrett is with Liz. Boring interview.

 

Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake v. Mr. Perfect (w/Genius)

 

Jessie says hi to Terry, Tyrell and Jade. Baarber kicks his ass but Perfect slugs away. Brutus sends him flying out on a punch and brings him back in and sends him flying out on atomic drop. Perfect lays into him and chops away but takes a hard whip and Barber works on the back and kicks his ass. Genius throws the scroll to Perfect who bops him with it. Perfect does the neck snap and lays into him. Brutus slingshots him into the ring post for the three. *1/2 Genius gets his hair cut

 

WHERE ARE THEY NOW- I think indies, WWF

Piper has painted half his body black and dances. They brawl. Crossbody-2 for Piper. They brawl some more with BNS gaining control and he gets a two count. Elbow-2. Piper gets the eye-poke and kicks his ass. BNB rakes his eyes and exposes turnbuckle. Piper whips him into it and pulls out a white glove and beats on him with it. BNB goes out and Piper follows and they brawl for the double countout. DUD Disappointing They brawl more and “nothing has been settled”

 

WHERE ARE THEY NOW- XWF, ?

 

Steve Allen is with the Bolsheviks in a bathroom and they want him to play the Russian national anthem. He fucks around with them and is about to play it when a toilet flushes. Funny stuff.

Jessie is hilarious mocking Chico. Chico is all fast and beats on Barby who bails.  Barby comes back with power moves but gets crossbodied for two. Chico with a headlock. Barby gets a big boot and shoulderbreaker. Fistdrop misses and Chico comes back. Flying Jalapeno- Brain puts his foot on ropes. Chico goes after Brain and Barby attacks and soon ends up working him over. Top-rope clothesline wins it. Eh. *1/2

 

WHERE ARE THEY NOW- retired, ?

 

Sean Mooney is with Dusty Rhodes and Sapphire.

 

“Macho King” Randy Savage and Sensational Sherri v. Dusty Rhodes and Sapphire

 

Jessie goes off on a rant on Dusty and Sapphire’s combined weight. Dusty brings out Elizabeth. Macho and Dusty start.  Dusty gets Savage down and Sherri runs in and gets her hair pulled. Macho comes of the top but Dusty gives him a spinebuster and tags Sapphire. Sapphire and Sherri go- Sapp kicks her ass. Sherri tries a slam and Sapphire falls on her and tags Dusty. Dusty holds Savage for Sapph to slap and then Sherri and Savage collide. Savage knees Dusty out and goes out after him and they brawl. Sherri punches him and Savage hits the double axehandle to the outside. Did Dusty rape Jessie’s mom or something?? Savage hits another double axehandle to the outside and throws Sapphire. Double axehandle on the inside-2. Suplex-2. Savage hits him with the sceptre and tags Sherri. Sherri splashes Dusty for two and Dusty comes back and nails their heads together. Elbows for everyone! Sherri jumps on his back but Sapph takes her down for two. Sapph throws her out, Liz throws her in and Sapph covers- Savage saves. Liz pushes Sherri who falls over Sapphire for the pin. ½*- Crowd was into it but it sucked ass. All three dance.

 

WHERE ARE THEY NOW- Savage is holding up WWA for 5 mil, Dusty runs TCW, Sapph is dead, Sherri is ?

 

Wrestlemania VII- LA Memorial Coliseum. 3.24.91. Sure thing Vince. Mooney highlights Wrestlemania weekend.

Mean Gene is with the Hulkster. Mooney is with Warrior but Warrior tosses him.  

 

The Rockers v. The Orient Express (w/Mr. Fuji)

 

Jannetty looks baked. Tanka-Jannetty start. They both punch each other and Tanaka kicks him but eats powerslam. Pier-4 brawl- Orient brawl and Rockers fly out after them. Jannetty and Tanaka go but Fuji pulls down the ropes and whacks Jannetty with the cane. Jannetty plays face-in-peril as the heels work him over. Janetty gets the hot tag to HBK who kicks Tanaka’s ass. Tag Sato. HBK gets  neckbreaker but Tanaka kicks him in the back and he becomes face-in-peril and the heels kick his ass. Knee to the sternum and the heels work him over. HBK finally gets a clothesline- hot tag  Jannetty who cleans house. Jannetty gets a two count and some heel miscommunication occurs. Fuji knocks into Jannetty’s leg with his cane and gets salted and a countout occurs. ** Should’ve been faster-paced.

 

WHERE ARE THEY NOW- HBK is retired, Jannetty I think still works, no clue about Orients

 

Dino Bravo (w/Earthquake and Jimmy Hart) v. “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan

 

Duggan gets booed for obvious reasons. Lockup- Dino shoves him and poses. Duggan gets an atomic drop but misses a blind charge and gets his ass kicked. Quake gets some shots in.

Jake goes for a kneelift but misses. Piledriver and Dibase poses. He sits on him and Jake reverses with sunset flip. Dibase rams his foot into his head. Million Dollar Dream- Jake makes ropes. Dibase then covers him and Jake makes the ropes again. He moves him away from the ropes and still only gets two. Dibase goes to the top but eats fist coming down. Jakes goes to work on him and goes for DDT but Virgil pulls him out and gets his ass kicked allowing Dibase to slap on the Dream on the outside for the countout win. Good stuff, apparentley they clipped out the dull stuff. ***1/2 Post-match Jake kicks their ass and hits the DDT on Dibase. Jake gives some of his money to the fans and Mary Tyler Moore. He’s about to sic Damien on Dibase but Virgil pulls him out.

 

WHERE ARE THEY NOW- crackhouse, retired

 

Mean Gene is with The Big Bossman. He doesn’t like Akeem or Dibase.

 

Akeem (w/Slick) v. The Big Bossman

 

THE TWIN TOWERS uhhhhh let’s skip my usual remark. Dibase tried to bribe Bossman but since he’s all law order and justice he  wasn’t happy while Akeem and Slick didn’t seem to mind. There’s your feud. Slick and Akeem get funky. Dibase who never left beats the hell out of Bossman. Akeem kicks his ass but Bossman comes back and kicks his ass. Bossman Slam. DUD Slick gets nailed post-match.

 

WHERE ARE THEY NOW- Gimmick battle royal, WWF

 

Rhythm-n-Blues come out in a pink cadillac with DDP driving the car. Rhythmn-n-Blues sing Hunka Hunka Hunka Honky love. Valentine is horrible. HTM is pretty good. Two programme vendors who turn out to be The Bushwhackers run them off and break the equipment.

 

They set the attendance record at 67,628.

 

“Ravishing” Rick Rude (w/Brain) v. “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka

 

Steve Allen joins them for commentary. Coughhypocritecough. Rude attacks to start and kicks his ass. Rude misses dropkick and Snuka gets some offence in and mocks him. Rude gets chucked out and back in he hits a suplex and swivels. Rude puts his head down and Snuka rams is head in. Rude thumbs his eye but Snuka nails him. He goes up top but Rude moves and Snuka lands on his feet. Slam but Snuka misses headbutt and hits Rude Awakening. **1/2

 

WHERE ARE THEY NOW- dead, retired

 

LA Memorial Coliseum- Wrestlemania VII. Can’t wait.

 

Hulk Hogan v. Ultimate Warrior in a title v. title match- winner gets both titles

 

Both guys get megapops. Hulk’s seemed bigger. Mega-staredown as the crowd chants ‘Hogan’ and the other half chants ‘Warrior’.  Warrior shoves him so Hogan shoves back. Warrior shoves him into a corner. Lockup- Hogan shoves him into corner. Test of strength- Warrior wins and brings Hogan to his knees. Hogan fights back up and brings Warrior to his knees. Warrior fights up and Hogan drops him. Cover-1. Warrior beats his chest. They run into each other and do a criss-cross. Hogan slams him- Warrior pops up. Criss-cross-Warrior slams Hogan and clotheslines him out. Hogan lands on his knee and limps. Warrior runs outside and kicks his knee. Warrior brings him back in and kicks the knee. Hogan thumbs his eyes and they choke each other. Hogan punches him and runs in with a clothesline. Eight punches in the corner and Hogan slams him and drops an elbow for two. Small package gets two and Hogan gets a chinlock and punches his head. In the corner Warrior kicks at him but Hogan chops him. Clothesline gets two. Backbreaker-2 and Hogan gets a chinlock and drives some knees into his back. Suplex-2 and he goes back to the chinlock. Three elbows by Warrior breaks it and a double clothesline results. Warrior is up first and he shakes the ropes and starts to feel the power of the warriors and what-not and no-sells all. Warrior kicks his ass and clotheslines Hogan to hell and whips him from pillar to post. Suplex-2 and he hooks a bearhug. Arm drops twice, not thrice. Hogan punches his way out and Warrior runs into the ref.  Warrior hits two top rope double axehandles but misses a flying tackle. Hogan covers but there’s no ref. Jessie makes note of the fact that this happened to Hulk’s opponents a lot. Warrior suplexes Hogan and covers him- no ref. Ref wakes up and slowly counts and its only two. Hogan rolls him up for two. Hogan chops him and Warrior flies out. Brawl on the outside- Hogan eats post. Clothesline,  gorilla press slam and splash..gets two. Hogan hulks up and hammers away. Big boot, legdrop…misses. Big splash wins it. Epic, epic match. **** Maybe not the most technical match but it had tons of drama and is just a fun match to watch. A dejected Hogan walks out and gets the belt from Fink and hands it to Warrior and raises his hand. They hug also.

 

WHERE ARE THEY NOW- WWF, Arizona

 

The Bottom Line- Up to Jake-Dibase the card sucks monkey crap. But Dibase-Roberts is some good stuff and Hogan-Warrior is a must see match. Plus its Andre’s last hurrah and Perfect’s first nationally televised loss and it’s a pretty fun show. And Hogan even jobs clean but just a reminder- there is prob a lot of FF to do.

Good Review, but it kinda gets annoying reading where the guys are now. You should only do it for the guys 1st Wm's, instead of typing it over and over for the likes of like Bret or Hoga who were around for 9 or 10 (or more).
