Did Hogan then leave for WCW?

 

Either way...interesting format, and I may have to try my hand at this. Cool results, and looking forward to the Survivor Series, which is next, I believe.

[hitman2003 0]

The way that I have it playing out is that Hulk Hogan does go to WCW, but he won't show up there for about a year.

Eh.

 

This could be way better if you did TV results, Tours, and everything else (it's already been suggested).

[hitman2003 0]

I have seriously considered adding TV results, but right now I just don't have the time to do that. If someone else would be interested in helping out with some extra stuff like that, then please let me know. If anyone has any others ideas, then please feel free to let me know what they are.

[theintensifier 0]

I'd help if I could, I don't have EWR anymore.

Crush returned at the Survivor Series to compete in an elimination match. The ending of that match came down to Savage & Crush against Yokozuna & Ludvig Borga.

Immediately following his elimination, Yokozuna re-entered the ring and continuing his attack on Undertaker. He delivered an avalanche in the corner and several leg drops before receiving a “Bonzai Drop” in the corner. Several weeks later, on an episode on Monday Night Raw, the Undertaker returned during a Yokozuna squash match.

Owen got the upper hand, but in the process he “accidentally” hit his brother in the head with it and knocked him unconscious. Once Bret came to, he was furious with his brother for interfering in his match, but he soon calmed down. The Hitman entered into the Royal Rumble match shortly after his title loss. Bret went on to win the Rumble match, and earned a WWF title shot at WrestleMania. Several weeks later, Bret teamed with his brother Owen and challenged The Quebecers for the WWF tag team titles. During the course of the match, Bret’s knee became injured, and the match was later stopped by the referee due to the injury. Owen was furious with his brother over the loss. After the match, The Rocket grabbed a chair from ringside and confronted his brother in the ring. Just as it appeared the two were about the make up, Owen nailed his brother with the chair in his bad knee and turned heel. Shortly before WrestleMania, the WWF Champion Lex Luger teamed with Yokozuna & Crush to take on the team of Randy Savage, Tatanka & “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig in a 6-man tag team match on Monday Night Raw.

The Heartbreak Kid tried to calm down Big Daddy Cool, but was pinned in the process. After the match Diesel continued to go after Michaels but HBK ran out of the building and got away.

In October 1994, Backlund challenged Bret Hart to a match for his WWF Championship. The Hitman granted the title shot to Backlund. The match occurred on WWF Action Zone, and was won by the champion after reversing an inside cradle. After the match, Bret extended his had to former champ, but then Backlund snapped. He put the crossface chicken wing on the champion and refused to let go. It took several WWF officials to get Backlund off the Hitman.

He applied the crossface chicken wing on McMahon and it took several officials to get him to release the hold. After that incident, Backlund went around attacking several different wrestlers, and then challenged the Hitman to a rematch. The match was signed, but there were several stipulations included. First, the match would be an “I Quit” match. Second, both wrestlers would have another wrestler in their corner. Davey Boy Smith would be Bret’s and Owen Hart would be in Backlund’s. Third, the only way for the match to end would be for either Smith & Owen to throw in the towel for the man that they represented.)

Luger had been on the receiving end of a beat down for several minutes when he was finally able to make the tag. However, just as he was about to tag in the Native American, Tatanka jumped down from the ring apron and headed back to the dressing room. The following week, Tatanka was interviewed and he revealed that he had joined the “Million Dollar Corporation.” He stated that being cheered by the fans had never gotten him anything, and that it was time for a change.

He returned to the ring and quickly eliminated a distracted Smith. Davey Boy was very upset over this and wanted to get his hands on Michaels in form possible. His first chance was during a Battle Royal on WWF Superstars in February. However, Michaels eliminated himself before Smith could get his revenge. Two weeks later, on an episode “The King’s Court” on WWF Monday Night Raw, the Heartbreak Kid introduced Psycho Sid as his new bodyguard. In early-March, a match was announced between Michaels and Davey Boy for WrestleMania.)

 

 

7) “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig pinned Jerry Lawler (11:54) after a “Perfect-Plex.” ** ¾

(Just after Curt Hennig returned to the WWF at the Survivor Series, Jerry Lawler began taking exception to Hennig calling himself “perfect.” Lawler claimed that since he was a “King” that only he should be considered “perfect.” These two began a war of words that would lead up to this match.)

 

 

8) WWF tag team Champions The Smoking Gunns defeated The Heavenly Bodies (10:31) after Billy pinned Dr. Tom Pritchard. ***

(The Heavenly Bodies received a WWF tag team title shot against The Smoking Gunns on WWF Monday Night Raw in February. However, that match went to a 20-minute time-limit draw. This is a rematch.)

 

 

9) Bret Hart defeated Owen Hart (23:46) by submission to the “Sharpshooter” in a No-Holds-Barred match. **** ½

(These two brothers have been feuding for just over a year at this point. In their first ever match, Owen was able to score an upset victory over the Hitman. However, Bret was able to get the upper hand in all of their encounters after that. At the Royal Rumble in January, Bret was defending his WWF title against Bob Backlund in an “I Quit” match. Owen was in the challengers corner and Davey Boy Smith was in the champions. The object of the match was to get your opponents corner man to throw in the towel, signaling that they quit. During the course of that match, Smith was knocked unconscious. Owen then was able to convince their mother, Helen Hart, to throw in the towel signaling that Bret quit the match. Bret was “injured’ during the course of the match and was out of action for several weeks. He returned at the end of February and immediately targeted his brother for revenge. Shortly after the Hitman’s return, this match was announced.)

 

 

10) Lawrence Taylor pinned Bam Bam Bigelow (15:23) following 3 elbow smashes to the face. ** ¾

(At the Royal Rumble, Bigelow teamed with Irwin R. Schyster to challenge the Smoking Gunns for the WWF tag team titles. Bigelow was pinned by Billy Gunn after Bigelow collided with Schyster, who was standing on the ring apron. After the match, Bigelow was at ringside, disgusted with his performance. As he was preparing to leave, he noticed a fan at ringside laughing. Bigelow took exception to this and shoved the fan. It turned out that the fan Bigelow pushed was former football star Lawrence Taylor. Several weeks later, the “Beast from the East” came out for an interview and challenged Taylor to a match at WrestleMania. Taylor’s attorneys issued a statement the following weekend on WWF programming that stated that Taylor had no intention of participating in a wrestling and demanded an apology for Bigelow’s actions at the Rumble PPV. Bigelow agreed to give Taylor an apology, but wanted to give it to him in person and requested that he appear on WWF Monday Night Raw in early-March. The former star agreed. Bam Bam began to apologize, and then stopped in mid-sentence. He then attacked Taylor. The following week, at the WrestleMania XI press conference, it was announced that Lawrence Taylor would indeed square off against Bam Bam Bigelow in a wrestling match.)

 

 

11) Irwin R. Schyster pinned Adam Bomb (7:08) by using the ropes for leverage. * ¼

 

 

12) Diesel pinned WWF Champion Bob Backlund (10:15) after a “Jackknife” powerbomb. **

(Bob Backlund turned heel back in October after he was pinned by then WWF Champion Bret Hart in a title match. He snapped after the match and placed the champion in the crossface chicken wing. It took several WWF officials to get Backlund to release the hold. That encounter lead to a rematch at the Royal Rumble. However, the rematch was contested under “I Quit” rules. In that match, Backlund was able to regain the WWF title, with little assistance from corner man Owen Hart. Diesel turned babyface back at the Survivor Series after he got tired of Shawn Michaels “accidentally” hitting him with superkicks. He then entered himself into the Royal Rumble match. Big Daddy Cool was able to win that match and earn himself a WWF title match at WrestleMania. During the contract signing several weeks before WrestleMania, Backlund attacked Diesel and attempted to place the big man in the crossface chicken wing, but was unable.)
