This Week's Injury Report:

November 5th, 1988: Bushwacker Butch sustained a probable Broken Hand during a match versus the Fabulous Rougeaus on November 4th for a Superstars taping in Ft. Wayne. IN. He is likely to return to action in Two Months time. For now, his partner, Bushwacker Luke, will be teaming with Scott Casey to fulfill the Bushwackers obligations.

 

Due to Butch's injury, the match that has been hyped to be featured on Superstars will not take place, and instead, a Clash between Tito Santana taking on "Ravishing" Rick Rude will air in it's place.

COMMENTATORS: VINCE MCMAHON & JESSE "THE BODY" VENTURA

 

- Opening Contest:

Twin Towers (w/ Slick) vs. Tim Horner & Reno Riggins:

(Akeem & Big Boss Man)

Akeem and Horner start the match, with Akeem dominating his opponent with blows to the back. Akeem with a scoop slam and he stomps away on Horner. Akeem throws him across the ring into his corner and Riggins tags in to test his chances. Riggins hammers away weakly on Akeem, avoiding several clotheslines. Riggin tries a headlock, but Akeem back suplex him down. Boss Man tags into the match to serve Riggins some "Hard Time" and pounds away at him in the corner.

Akeem tags in, bouncing off the ropes and squashes Riggins with a Big Splash for the 1...2...3. (2:37) *1/2 Decent squash match, mainly because I'm a Towers mark. The short matches gives it a chance to be action packed, or not slow at times.

Hard pimping time for an upcoming event at the Philadelphia Spectrum on November 12th, 1988, featuring in the Main Event, Hulk Hogan taking on the Big Boss Man.

The Ultimate Warrior (IC Champion) vs. Conquistador #2:

Conquistador sneak attacks Warrior before the bell with a series of rights to the lower back. Warrior no sells them and clothesline the Conquistador out of the ring. Warrior follows him out to bring him back in and puts him down several times with roundhouse rights that miss by a mile it seems. Warrior runs the ropes, connecting with a series of clotheslines, followed by a diving shoulder tackle! Warrior scoops up the Conquistador for a Gorilla Press Slam and quickly puts him away with the Splash for 1...2...3. (1:14) 1/2* Because it wasn't totally bad.

 

- "Special Delivery" Jones vs. Greg "The Hammer" Valentine (w/ Jimmy Hart):

Jones avoids being attacked from behind and hammers away on the Hammer in the corner. Valentine reverses an Irish whip to the buckle but eats boot on the charge in. Jones hammers away on Valentine with lefts and rights, but he falls victim to a thumb to the eye, allowing Valentine to take a breather. Atomic knee drop by Valentine and he quickly cover for a two count. Valentine stomps away at the left knee of Jones and tries hyper-extending the ligaments. Jones blocks a Figure-Four attempt by booting Valentine into the corner, causing him to ram his shoulder into the ring post. Both men are down for a seven count until Jones makes the cover for barely a two count. Jones whips Valentine to the ropes and follows up with a clothesline for another quick two count. Jones bounces off the ropes, only for Valentine to catch him and drop Jones neck first across the top rope. Valentine turns his shin-guard around (the Hart Breaker) and successfully applies the Figure-Four Leglock for a quick Submission Victory. (3:02) **1/2 Pretty decent contest for the short amount of time. Jones was allowed in some offense but not a lot to make Valentine look like a schmuck.

 

- Superstars of Wrestling Feature Match:

Tito Santana vs. "Ravishing" Rick Rude (w/ Bobby Heenan):

At the Survivor Series niether man will be on opposing teams, so this will have no effect on their respected matches, too be announced later in the broadcast. Both men trade a series of rights to start until Rude applies a standing side headlock. Santana whips Rude to the ropes and is put down with a shoulder block. Rude poses to the crowd to a chorus of boos while Santana looks on. Another lockup and now Santana with a side headlock. Irish whip and Santana ducks a clothesline, bouncing off the ropes, and nailing the Flying Forearm! Rude is sent outside the ring on the momentum where Heenan comes over to consult him.

Santana tries attacking Heenan but Rude plants a knee to the back of Santana and scores with the Rude Awakening for 1...2...3, picking up the win. (7:25) ***1/4 Very good for a Superstars feature match, but the rest-hold in the middle of the match slowed it down a tad too bit for my liking. Martel comes out to protect Santana from a further beating as Rude and Heenan celebrate outside the ring.

Powers catches Perfect with a big boot and clothesline, forcing him to over-sell dramatically. Powers with a float over vertical suplex gets two.

Perfect scoops Powers up for a snap suplex. Perfect whips Powers to the ropes and connects with a running dropkick. Irish whip is reversed and Powers tries a back body drop, but Perfect capitalizes on the opprotunity and locks in the Perfect-Plex for the 1...2...3.
