- Live From The Skydome in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

 

- Opening Match: Koko B. Ware Vs. "The Model" Rick Martel:

This has no history to it, so it means someone is getting pushed, and you can figure out the rest. This is after Koko's goofy hair look when he colored it blond and painted his head like a parrot. WWF brings back the mini-ring carts to bring the wrestlers to the ring, like at Wrestlemania III, because the entrance is THAT DAMN LONG. This is Coliseum Video so the matches are clipped. In this case, badly, cause half the match is taken out, meaning it must have been boring. While I'm waiting for Rick Martel's entrance to finish, these two guys would have another match a year later on the Road to Wrestlemania VII special, in a blindfold match. Guess who won that.

 

Match starts and Martel attacks Koko B. Ware while the referee is checking for illegal objects. Koko is whipped to the buckle, but gets a boot up and cross body's Martel from the second rope for 2. Koko with a series of Drop-kicks and a back drop. Clothesline sends Martel out and the crowd is going nuts for a jobber. Koko's luck runs out as Martel dumps him to the floor. Crowd dies off all of a sudden (Clip). Martel kicks away at Ware's back and nails a back breaker. Boston Crab is applied and Koko submits at 2:02. (clipped from 5:00+). DUD Crowd hates Martel, even though he's Canadian.

 

- Sean Mooney is with Demolition, who says that The Champions made comments to them earlier on, meaning the interview was clipped out. Demolition say they will Demolish them. It's sad to know Smash went on to be losers like Repo Man & Blacktop Bully, and Ax just flounders around the independents.

 

- WWF Tag Team Championship Match:

The Colossal Connection © (w/ Bobby Heenan) Vs. Demolition:

This match is a rematch from early January when Andre & Haku upset Demolition on an episode of Superstars of Wrestling, winning the titles, which, by the way, I remember being better then this match. Connection are off a successful title defense against The Rockers from the Wrestlemania VI Special on Prime-time Wrestling. Demolition are crazy over, as its almost impossible to hear their theme music.

 

The Connection attack the challengers before the bell, hell, Demolition barely got their masks off before they got jumped. Andre beats Ax to the outside and Haku takes care of Smash in the center of the ring. Smash with some rights and sends Haku into Ax's boot. Ax hammers way, but gets a thrust in the throat. Haku with a stall back breaker and turns it into a pin for 2. Haku beats up Ax some more in his corner, and applies a Vulcan nerve hold. Ax is trapped in the corner so Andre chokes him out with the tag rope. Ax tries fighting off Haku and does so until he gets chopped in the leg. Ax makes the big comeback, with a clothesline, and the crowd is going insane! Smash gets the hot tag, and proceeds to beat Haku's ass. Back Body Drop by Smash and a screwy cross body. Andre comes in and gets nailed, and Haku walks into an Ax clothesline. Double clothesline to Andre and they both decimate Haku. Andre grabs Smash from behind, but Haku misses a crescent kick, nailing Andre into the ropes, tying him up. Double "Clothesline" and Demolition Decapitator ends it at 5:25, and Demolition have three-peated as Tag Team champions, something unheard of in 1990.

 

Andre finally is free from the ropes, and Bobby Heenan is all up in his face, even though Haku was the one who got killed in the finish. He yells "I'm the fucking boss" i do believe, then slaps Andre in the face, pissing him off, so Andre beats on Heenan to the delight of the fans. Haku tries to attack but Andre blocks his crescent kick a mile ahead of time, and goes on to beat him up to. When they try to leave, Andre tosses both off the cart, leaving by himself to a roaring ovation. 1/4* for the post match antics, but otherwise a DUD.

 

- Mean Gene is with Jimmy Hart & Earthquake. You can hear Hercules theme song start in the background, which means he isn't important enough to show because they rather show an Earthquake promo.

 

- Hercules Vs. Earthquake (w/ Jimmy Hart):

This match has no history to my recollection, except for the fact that Earthquake pinned Hercules at the 1989 Survivor Series. Earthquake has sent 28 people to the hospital already. Earthquake ways in at 468 pounds for those who care. Before the match starts, Quake & Hart complain about Hercules having a chain at ringside, which he used on his opponent when he was a bad guy, but since he's a face, he's a puss.

 

Earthquake tries a pearl harbor job on Hercules, but he saw it coming since every heel has done so on this PPV, so he moves out of the way and unleashes a fury of lefts and rights, busting his lip. Earthquake jumps up and down proving how fat he is by making Hercules stumble near the ropes. Test of Strength and Quake cheap shots him. Quake with some boring offense kills the crowd, but then flexes his un-muscular arms and the crowd boo's. Hercules fights back with shoulder tackles and clotheslines, then goes for the torture rack (which is what it looks like he was setting up for), but OBVIOUSLY Earthquake blocks, and beats him into the ground. Vertical Splash later and Hercules is done for at 4:10. DUD. Almost all punch and kick. Hercules receives an after shock for his troubles.

 

- Rona Barrett is with Miss Elizabeth, which is only here so Elizabeth is on camera to explain her being at the PPV later on.

 

- Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake Vs. Mr. Perfect (w/ The Genius):

Perfect & The Genius had recently been feuding with Hulk Hogan & Brutus Beefcake, headlining main events at house shows earlier in the year. At Royal Rumble in January, Brutus Beefcake fought to a Double DQ with The Genius, and afterwards, Mr. Perfect beat Beefcake into a pulp with a steel chair, so here we are now.

 

Mr. Perfect jumps the bell like all other heels tonight, but hits the buckle and Beefcake unloads. Irish whip the corner and a punch sends Mr. Oversell to the floor to consult with the Genius. Beefcake works in more offense until The Genius is able to slip his "metal" scroll into the ring allowing Mr. Perfect to clobber Beefcake with. Perfect with some slow offense, for him, that's an unusual feet. Perfect signals for the Perfect Plex, but Beefcake Barber's up and trips him, allowing Beefcake to slingshot Perfect WAY into the post for the 3 count, ending Mr. Perfects unbeaten streak (TV wise) at 6:17. *1/2. After the match The Genius steals Brutus' clippers, stalling for enough time so Perfect can flee, but in the mean time, gets another trim job.

 

- Highlights from the 1990 Royal Rumble match ,when Roddy Piper & Bad News Brown eliminate each other from the match, and brawl from the ring to the back. Three weeks later on Wrestling Challenge, Brown insults Piper for his kilt wearing, so Piper jumps him and kicks his ass.

 

- "Rowdy" Roddy Piper Vs. Bad News Brown:

Match history was just explained in the video montage. Roddy Piper is PAINTED HALF BLACK!!!! And like everyone else who has reviewed this tape, I notice Roddy doing some choice dances so he doesn't leave anyone out of the insult.

 

Bad News DOESN'T jump Roddy from behind!! They charge at each other and brawl, rolling around on the canvas. Piper with a cross body for 2. I notice that Piper's paint job ends right above his trunk line, and below it on his thigh, so he didn't paint his whole left side black. Just an observation. Brown BLASTS Piper with roundhouse rights and kicks him close to the groin. Choke and cover gets 2. Slam by Brown and an elbow drop across the chin for 2. Piper with the famous eye poke and he snaps, unloading with lefts and rights. For those who don't know, Piper was an amateur boxer. Brown takes off the top turnbuckle pad, and is whipped into it. Piper goes into his trunks and pulls out.....a white glove. Brown decides to oversell all the punches from the glove, signaling Ventura to call it illegal. Piper sends him to the outside, and they brawl to a double count out finish at 4:45. I don't recall there ever being a REAL finale to this feud.

 

- Steve Allen is in the men's locker room to practice the Russian National Anthem with the Bolsheviks He plays Pop Goes the Weasel, and Boris Zhukov calls it the Polish National Anthem. When he FINALLY goes to play it, someone flushes a toilet RIGHT when he goes to press the keys, pissing off the Russians. Allen runs away before anything happens.

 

- Hart Foundation Vs. The Bolshiviks:

Again, no real history to why this match is here, except to put over a tag team, who has been mentioned earlier in the show, that being The Foundation. Entrances are copped down a bit. Bolsheviks go to sing the national anthem and in the middle of it the Harts jump THEM form behind. Anvil clotheslines Volkoff outside. They pummel Boris, and give him The Hart Attack for the win at 0:19! DUD. Hart Foundation was being prepped for a tag team title run so I guess it makes sense to kill a jobber tag team.

 

- COMMERCIAL FOR WRESTLEMANIA VII @ YOU KNOW WHERE.

 

- Tito Santana VS. The Barbarian (w/ Bobby Heenan):

Titos theme song reminds Jesse of a bar in Tijuana, and says he picked up some chicks. This is yet ANOTHER match to put some up and comer over with, except the up and comer had been in WWF for almost 2 years. Ventura said Santana should have sent Barbarian some of his food, making him sick two minutes into the match and win by count-out.

 

They lock up and Barbarian shows he is more powerful then the former Intercontinental Champion. Santana unloads in the corner causing Barbarian to flee. Barbarian with a knee lift and shoulder block, which really doesn't do anything to Tito. He bends his head and gets kicked in the face. Tito with a cross body for 2. Santana with a standing side head lock, but he runs right into a big boot. Barbarian scoops him up and give him a shoulder breaker. Second rope elbow that always misses, misses, and Santana with a double Ax handle, then nails the flying Jalupeño, but Heenan puts Barbarians foot on the rope at 2. Barbarian drives his shoulder into Santanas ribs and KILLS him with a clothesline off the top rope at 3:43. 1/4*. This PPV needs a big match REALLY bad.

 

- Sean Mooney is with Dusty Rhodes & Sapphire, who promises he has the Crown Jewel, puzzling Mooney.

 

- Mixed Tag Team Match:

Dusty Rhodes & Sapphire Vs. Randy Savage & "Sensational" Queen Sherri:

Its Royalty vs. The Common Man, as Rhodes & Savage have been feuding over the last few months because of their place in the chain of life. SERIOUSLY, Rhodes is feuding with Savage because he's a common man and Savage is royalty. Ventura throws a major league fit when he hears Finkle introduce Rhodes and Sapphire weighing in at a combined weight of 465 pounds. "Your telling me Dusty Rhodes only weighs 200? Cause I Know DAMN WELL Sapphire weighs 2 1/2 (250)! 565 I might buy, but no 465!" Just hilarious. Dusty Rhodes gives us an "Oh Yeah" to mock Savage, who appears to have veins bursting in his neck. Rhodes announces the crown jewel as Miss Elizabeth, hence her appearance earlier in the show. Ventura says Sapphire needs slim fast, or maybe oatmeal and sardines.

 

Rhodes & Savage start, and its men vs. men, women vs. women. So basically is 2 singles matches in one. Rhodes with bionic elbows, and Sherri attacks, prompting Rhodes to back her up into Sapphire. Savage jumps into Rhodes, and Sherri runs into Savage being tossed off. Rhodes throws Sherri into the ring where Sapphire pushes her into Savage, knocking him off the apron. Hip butts on Sherri, and Savage makes fun. REALLY Pathetic fireman's carry gets a 1 count. Sherri gets physical (physical! ha-ha, Olivia Newton John song) and Rhodes tags in. Sapphire slaps Savage and Savage is thrown into Sherri again. Savage beats the shit out of Rhodes on the floor, and gives him a couple of double ax-handles off the top rope. He goes for it a third time, but Sapphire blocks the path, so he jumps to the floor and THROWS her to the floor. Ventura is loving this. More Arial attacks by Savage for 2. Snap Suplex by Savage(!) gets 2. Savage gets his scepter and clobbers Rhodes with it from the top rope, and Sherri tags in for the cover, only getting 2. Rhodes fights both off, and Sapphire with a snap-mare on Sherri off of Dreams shoulders for 2. Elizabeth throws Sherri back into the ring for a monster pop. SCREWED UP Suplex gets 2. Elizabeth throws Sherri over Sapphires back and Sapphire rolls her up for the win at 7:32. DUD. REALLY Stupid Match. The Dream Threesome Dance to celebrate.

 

- ANOTHER Wrestlemania VII commercial.

 

- Footage of the Wrestlemania VI Festival. A COLISEUM VIDEO EXCLUSIVE! Tito Sanatana, The Bushwhackers & Hillbilly Jim!!! What Talent! Autograph sessions with Demolition, Rhodes & Big Boss Man. More Autograph sessions elsewhere.

 

- Mean Gene is with Hulk Hogan. Hogan cuts a WHACKED OUT promo on the Warrior. He says the power lies in his hand. Hogan wants Warrior on his knees. He wants to ask him if he wants to live forever. He can save him. His Hulkamaniacs can save him, and his little warriors, with the training, the prayers, and the vitamins! It only matters what kind of winner you are, and what kind of loser you are! And he hopes warrior is a good loser! What's he gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild on him?

 

- Warrior cuts a bizarre promo I can't even UNDERSTAND, so lets leave it at that.

 

- The Rockers Vs. The Orient Express (w/ Mr. Fuji):

No match history, although these two teams went on to have a MUCH Better match at the next Royal Rumble PPV, although it featured Orient Express Version 2.0. Rockers are over here, so they likely won't win. (And really, it's sad they won their first PPV match 3 years after debuting)

 

Expect this to be short, because I already reviewed this match, but my computer crapped out on me before I could save it. Jannetty & Tanaka start, and they trade some rights. Marty knocks down Tanaka, and he & Michaels with a double hip toss on Sato, double kip up, and they press slam Tanaka onto his partner, sending them to the floor, where they also connect with duel planchas! Jannetty is whipped to the ropes back in the ring, and Sato pulls down the ropes and Jannetty gets taken over by Sato & Fuji. Jannetty gets worked over until he makes the tag to Shawn who nails a crescent kick and scoop slam on Tanaka. Sato in, and gets planted with a swinging neck beaker. Sato whips Michaels into the boot of Tanaka and the TOE takes over again. Gut-wrench gut buster by Sato. Flying Jalupeño by the Japanese sensation Tanaka (ha-ha). Sato with a top rope knee drop for 2. Vulcan Nerve Hold stalls time for a clip job. Michaels with a big clothesline with the 360 sell, and Jannetty gets the hot tag for once, and cleans house. Double Noggin Knocker gets 2 on Tanaka, and Sato accidentally elbow drops him. Double drop-kick sends Sato out, and a double back drop on Tanaka. They go for the double drop-kick off the top rope, but Fuji hits Jannetty in the leg with his cane, causing a chase. Sato from behind blinds Jannetty with salt. Jannetty literally falls into the front row and is counted out at 7:35. **1/4. Orient Express leave to the traditional theme music for their nationality.

 

- "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan Vs. Dino Bravo (w/ Earthquake & Jimmy Hart):

It's the traditional American Vs. Foreign Scum match, but in this case Duggan is hated for his waving of the American flag in CANADA! What a moron. I don't remember there being a feud between these guys, so I'm guessing someone's being put over here, but who?

 

Bravo wins the lockup and poses but walks into Duggan who scores an atomic drop. They brawl about a bit. Dino with a clothesline and some hard rights, which are sold miserably. Ventura makes fun of Monsoon saying he has mustard all over the place. Bravo with an inverted atomic drop and some chokes. Duggan comes back and nails three clotheslines and sets up for the big three point stance. He goes after Earthquake for some reason, allowing Hart to toss in the 2x4 to Bravo. Duggan intercepts and creams him with it, covering for the win at 3:21. DUD. Earthquake kills him after the bell with a series of Vertical Splashes.

 

- Jake Roberts cuts a very intense promo on Dibiase, saying for once Dibiase will be the one begging for what he wants, which is what he made people do who were less fortunate when he would "offer" them money to do stupid shit, and then stiff them.

 

- Million Dollar Championship Match:

"Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase (w/ Virgil) © Vs. Jake "The Snake" Roberts:

Back in January, Jake Roberts stole the million dollar title from Dibiase after a match on Superstars of Wrestling. When Dibiase paid off Slick & The Twin Towers to retrieve it for him, Boss Man had a change of heart, turning him face, and then gave Roberts back the belt. Winner of this match gets the belt for good, which I guess is on the line because of the lack of title matches tonight. (2 matches out of 14). Ted Dibiase makes his spring residence in Palm Beach, FL. Jake Roberts is from Stone Mountain, GA. I think it's safe to say a lot of jokes can come out of the name STONE Mountain.

 

They lock up and Roberts with a wrist-lock and shoulder blocks. Knee lift connects, but Dibiase bails on the DDT attempt. Roberts goes after him and brings him back in the ring. Dibiase drops an elbow across the back of the head of Roberts. Roberts goes for a high knee but misses BADLY and is thrown into the turnbuckle on the way up. Dibiase with a STIFF Piledriver and Roberts looks dead. (or if you like Roberts jokes, he looks like he passed out from too many drinks). Dibiase with a cocky cover gets reversed for 2, but he's back on Roberts like stink on a monkey and stomps the hell out of his right arm. CLIP JOB! Dibiase with a Million Dollar Dream but Roberts makes the ropes, and Ventura calls him a pussy for doing so. Dibiase covers, but Roberts gets the foot on the rope for 2, and more bitching by Ventura. Dibiase drags him to the middle of the ring and covers for 2 again. Dibiase off the top rope right into a Roberts punch to the mid section. Clothesline and inverted atomic drop by The Snake, and another clothesline. Short-arm clothesline connects, which is the setup for the DDT, and he signals for the end. Virgil pulls Roberts outside and gets slammed on the floor for his troubles. Dibiase with the dream again, but Roberts rams Dibiase into the post to break it. Virgil pushes Dibiase back in the ring to beat the count out at 5:50, and he is declared the winner. **1/2, pretty good match for a clipped version. I've never seen the full match, which I think ran about 11:00.

 

Roberts after the match attacks with a double clothesline on Virgil & Dibiase. Virgil runs like hell with the million dollar belt, which leaves Dibiase in the ring, who gets killed with a DDT. Jake hands out 100 dollar bills to the people at ring side, including Mary Tyler Moore, who Monsoon & Ventura says doesn't need it. Roberts gives Dibiase a taste of his own medicine by stuffing a bill down his throat. Virgil come outs just in time again to save Dibiase form the Damien effect.

 

- Mean Gene is with The Big Boss Man who goes on to insult Ted Dibiase, Slick and Akeem, his opponent in the next match.

 

- Big Boss Man Vs. Akeem (w/ Slick):

Boss Mans turn was slightly covered in the previous match but lets review. After Ted Dibiase had his Belt taken away by Jake Roberts, he paid off Slick & The Twin Towers (but Boss Man wasn't aware of the money part) to steal it back, which they did. But when Boss Man found out, he said he wouldn't take no bribes and gave Roberts the belt back. Since Akeem & Slick are mean and black, they took Dibiase's money, and bam, instant feud. The Twin Towers Explode!!

 

Before the match starts Dibiase, who had been hiding under the ring since the last match, blitz's Boss Man and lays a shit kicking on him. Match starts and Akeem stomps away. Some Ax-handle punches to the back, and a splash in the corner by The African Dream gets 2. Ventura rubs it in about Elizabeth interfering earlier, but Monsoon didn't see it cause he was eating another hot dog. Akeem smothers Boss Man in the corner and goes for the 10 corner punches! Boss Man comes back with a bad inverted atomic drop and a hard right. He sends Akeem back and forth across the ring into the turnbuckles and catches him with a clothesline. Akeem off the ropes, Boss Man misses a clothesline but nails the Sidewalk Slam for the pin at 1:51. DUD, Boss Man lays out Slick after the match. Short and painless here.

 

- Rhythm & Blues & Jimmy Hart with the Honky-ettes sing his ht song Hunka Hunka Honky Love. Bushwhackers ambush them afterwards and bust the guitars. Fun Fact. DDP was driving the Rhythm & Blues to ringside.

 

- New Skydome Attendance Record! 67,678!!!

 

- "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka Vs. "Ravishing" Rick Rude (w/ Bobby Heenan):

No history, this is to put over Rick Rude in the main event scene to prep him for his Summerslam title match. Steve Allen joins Ventura & Gorilla for commentary, and has some choice jokes which I like to repeat over and over. Allen says the 2x4 was NOT a foreign object, because it was a Canadian 2x4. Allen says Snuka is so ugly, that a vampire took 1 look at him and bit the bed post. He says he did the joke now so Snuka couldn't hear him.

 

Rude jumps him to start and misses a drop-kick rather badly. Snuka with some choice chops and a back drop and does the hip wiggling that Rude does. Repeat that last sentence as it happened again. head-BUTT and a drop-kick sends Rude to the floor. Rude with a sunset flip but its blocked. Snap Suplex by Rude turns the tide. Allen says Snuka's ring trunks remind him of his wife's underwear. Snuka slams Rude face first into the mat, but Rude with a thumb to the eye and a shoulder tackle. Snuka with a diving head-BUTT and he goes to the top rope, but it's a fake and he pounds on Rude some more. Snuka goes to the second rope and misses the head-BUTT. Rude Awakening ends it at 3:49. 1/2*. Rude got killed for almost the whole match.

 

- ANOTHER Wrestlemania VII commercial. The Coliseum!? Yea right.

 

- MAIN EVENT: WWF World Title; WWF Intercontinental Title Match:

Hulk Hogan (WWF Champion) Vs. Ultimate Warrior (WWF IC Champion):

This match is hard to explain its history. Hogan & Warrior were doing tag matches for a few weeks, and would end up getting into a confrontation. When one of them was attacked 2 on 1, the other would help, but that wasn't appreciated. So its time to decide who is the better "man" (I use the term loosely cause Warriors a nut.) Since both were champions, its title for title, meaning the Intercontinental Title would be vacated due to the rule of only being able to hold 1 title. Warrior stupidly runs to the ring, burning himself out already. Ventura points that out. Hogan gets a better response I think, even in CANADA! I saw Edge!! I Saw Edge!!!! I swear Real American is THE best theme song of the old school era. The crowd is going CRAZY for this one. Hogan is God, and by the way, If you didn't notice, Hogan is my all time favorite, so expect some bias from me.

 

Hebner explains the rules (or some spots, I don't read lips) and takes possesion of both titles and raises them up to declare they are both on the line. They have a stare down, and Warrior with a shove, which Hogan pays back with his own. Lock up and Warrior wins it. Lockup again and Hogan just about THROWS warrior into the turnbuckle, knocking him on his ass. Warrior wants a Greco Roman knuckle-lock (or test of strength), and he wins it. Hogan fights back to his feet, and takes Warrior down to his knees.

 

Crowd is just going crazy for the simplest moves! Hogan is CLEARLY the fan favorite, just like he was 12 years later. Warrior fights back up to his feet now and Hogan with a leg sweep takedown and elbow drop for 2! When did he ever do that move? Criss Cross and Hogan catches Warrior with a slam. Warrior no-sells and they do it again, and Warrior slams Hogan this time. Clothesline sends Hogan spilling to the floor, and Hogan OVER sells a knee injury. Warrior can give half a shit about it so he stomps on him. Hogan & Hebner have a meeting and Hogan gets thrown back in the ring by Warrior. Warrior goes after the knee and they exchange eye rakes, and Ventura is loving it. They choke each other and Warrior accidentally hits Hebner while throwing a punch at Hogan. Hogan forgets the knee and cleans house on Warrior. Mounted corner punches! All 8 of them. Scoop Slam and elbow drop by Hogan, a second one gets a 2 count.

 

Front headlock by Hogan(!) and he SMALL PACKAGES Warrior for 2. Chin-lock applied and Hogan hammers away. Hogan dishes out some punishment in the corner and drops him with a clothesline for a 2 count. Back breaker by Hogan gets 2 again. Rear chin-lock again and Hogan drives his knee into Warriors "cervical area" which is OBVIOUSLY only an organ women have, so Ventura corrects him by saying "Monsoon, that's the back!". Really, Monsoon must be retarded.

 

BIG Back Suplex by Hogan gets 2!!! Hogan goes back to the chin-lock and Warrior's hand starts to shake! Uh-oh, the arthritis is kicking in! He breaks the hold with three elbows to the midsection and its the double clothesline!! Both men get up at 8, otherwise the crowd probably would have rioted. Warrior hulk's up his way and no sells Hogans everything. Her rams Hogan into his chest and nails three clotheslines!!! Irish Whips to the corners and Hogan falls to the mat, holding onto Warriors legs. Snap Suplex by Warrior gets a 2 count. Bearhug! Kind of stupid since Hogan is 3 inches taller then him, and he has it applied to loose.

 

Hogan breaks free and Warrior gives Hebner a MAJOR ref bump. Warrior with two double ax-handles off the top rope. He goes for the shoulder dive but Hogan side steps it and drives Warrior face first into the mat!!! Hogan covers but the referee is STILL OUT! He counts his own three then tries waking up the referee. Warrior from behind with a huge back suplex! He counts his own three as well! Hebner crawls over with a SLOW edge of your seat 2 count. Hogan school boys Warrior for 2!!!

 

Hogan with a back elbow sends Warrior over the top rope and they brawl on the floor. Warrior gets a head-BUTT and rams Hogan into the steel post. Back in the ring, Warrior with a clothesline and gorilla press slam!! Big Splash! He covers! 1... 2... KICKOUT! Hogan Hulks Up!!!!! He No Sells Warriors offense and the crowd is losing it! Three punches! Irish whip and Big Boot by Hogan! He goes for the leg drop and misses!!! Warrior splashes him! 1...2....3! Warrior wins the title at 23:54!!!!! **** Crowd goes crazy.

 

Hebner accidentally gives Warrior both belts, so he has to somehow get rid of the world title off camera. Hogan goes to the outside to get his old belt that he just lost. Crowd is almost dead silent as Hogan comes back in the ring. He has a questionable thought in his mind, and then HANDS over the World title to the new champion and they embrace in the center of the ring. Hogan goes off in the cart, as Warrior celebrates. One question I still have is, who were they cheering when the show came to an end?! Hogan or Warrior?! Since Warrior was booed out of the building in house show matches right after versus Rick Rude, I'll bank on it being Hogan they cheered for.

 

Final Analysis: Well, if not for the main event, this PPV is a DEFINITE pass. I'm sure other tapes have Warrior/Hogan, so this show is a Thumbs Down.
