And this is Vince McMahon welcoming you to a very special two-hour collector's edition program as part of the World Rusting Federation home video series.

This particular series, the first of a kind, is entitled Russell Vision.

And this is the first annual WWF rustling classic.

This event is unique for a number of reasons.

First, it was not shown on national television, thus the only way to have a record of the rustling classic is here in home video.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, this was a truly spectacular, one-of-a-kind competition.

A 16-man elimination tournament featuring many of the superstars of the WWF, and a contest

which was not only a professional wrestling confrontation, but one which served as a maximum

test of physical endurance and concentration.

Think of it.

If a man survives the first round and has hopes of winning at all, he must wrestle three

Then in the main event, just to add to the excitement,

the World Rusting Federation title will be on the line,

the champion Hulk Hogan squaring off against

Rowdy Roddy Piper.

What a spectacular main event and a spectacular

first of the kind series for Russell Vision.

Here we go.

Welcome to the beautiful Rolls-Mont

Horizon in the suburbs of the

Windy City, Chicago.

We are looking forward indeed as

men elimination tournament, a

most spectacular one of a kind

happening in the World

Wrestling Federation.

title defense against Rowdy

Roddy Piper.

With me at this moment, my

colleague, indeed Lord Alfred

Hayes, along with Susan

This extraordinary tournament lineup, the drawing was held this afternoon, and the most interesting one indeed it was, and Mean Jean Okron was on hand.

And I would suspect that the conditioning of these athletes, Lord Alfred Hayes, is really going to be tested here tonight as never before.

Well, we know that the WWF wrestlers are the finest conditioned athletes in the world, but this is going to be a magnificent test for them.

You can take the Decathlon, you can take the Marathon, the Triathlon, roll them all into one and they're still going to need more endurance than that.

This is the ultimate test, not only of courage, not only of physical endurance, but of mental test also.

To win it, that's what they're going to have to do.

Let's take a look at that first match, all the way up on the board.

Dynamite kids and meet Nikolai Volkov and then from there Ivan Putzky in match three to squirt off against a macho man Randy Savage

And look at this interesting drill luck of the draw Ricky the dragon steamboat meets

Davy Boy Smith in a scientific matchup the iron sheet to meet the junkyard dog moon dog spot

Squaring off against Terry fuck there again a most interesting setup and then from there Tito Santana to meet the magnificent Morocco

and cowboy bob orton in the eighth match squaring off against mr wonderful paul orndor

this is going to be most interesting as we said earlier the look of the draw took place earlier

this afternoon here are some of the highlights of the drawing out of the fishbowl gentlemen if

you'll witness go ahead rick steenbolt can i draw your opponent here we go davie boy smith wild

He's a fine young man. He's a good man too.

It's gonna be a tough match.

It's gonna be a big thing.

All right, Elizabeth, if you do the drawing for the macho man, Randy Savage.

You're a good drawer now. Do what I think.

Okay.

My name is Ivan Putzky.

Ivan Putzky.

The drawers there.

They need no good.

Get out of here right now.

You must stand up too, didn't you?

Well, as these gentlemen witness, Mr. Fuji, you can go ahead and make your dry now for

your man, the Magnificent Morocco, who's his opponent.

Hito Santana.

You in big trouble, boy.

Right now, let's take you all the way down to ringside to my colleagues, Gorellamon

Thank you Vince McMahon. What a prestigious evening and I'm so thrilled just to be a part of this thing because

History is going to be made right here in the horizon tonight as this very prestigious

16-man elimination tournament takes place. That's right gorilla. I'm pumped up

I'm here to call it like it is as Jesse the body always does and Chicago and the world get ready a

tremendous happening right here

We're thrilled to be a part of it.

Let's get the action going.

Let's get this elimination tournament underway.

Here he is, just take a look at him, the pride and joy of the 82nd Airborne, Corporal Kershner.

What a look of the draw to start out with this tremendous matchup.

Well, I'll tell you, Gorilla, Corporal Kershner is going to be tested severely by Adrian Adonis,

the street-wise street fighter from New York City.

Adrian Adonis says everyone aware, former co-holder of the World Wrestling Federation, tag team title.

Along with my colleague Jesse the body Ventura part of the east-west connection

And certainly someone to be reckoned with because he is a powerhouse

The mouth of the south his manager as always in attendance

Look at that he's fucked up again

everything on the line here trying to win this most prestigious tournament in

history of professional wrestling we're a wrestling federation not about to be

outdone well I'll tell you what I don't know if Kershner is really ready for the

tactics that Donis is going to use. Oh nice arm grab by the corporal. kind of

And Kirsten is saying, come on, I got your number.

Well, you got his number in the draw, that's for sure.

You want to make it clear to us.

Fans just that the rules are very simple in order to progress in the tournament. You must win your match

That's right. What's the time limit on these matches now gorilla the first round in the first elimination round?

There are one fall ten minute time limit ten minute time limit, so that means you can't be messing about

For absolutely not if there's no winner both men are eliminated absolutely. He's on the opposite side of the ring

Well executed

Down hard. There's a good shot of the south beautiful move on the part of Adonis and he slowed the corporal down now

Can't make a mistake against Adrian because he'll lower the boom on

But that's personified

You can go to the bank with that as far as the corporal is concerned, but right now on the receiving end

From the Brooklyn Adrian Adonis with an elbow right into the esophagus area

That'll take it's cold in a hurry

He's going to make him punish him a little bit here, Jesse.

Man, I'll tell you right now, I think the corp will be more pleased

jumping out of an airplane yelling airborne

than he would tangling with Adonis at this point in the match.

Well, at least when you jump out of that plane,

you know exactly where you're going

and who's going to be there when you get there.

But when you're in there with Adrian, it's a different ball game.

Here he comes now, starting to get something going.

Tried for an arm whip, but Adrian hooked that top rope.

Suplex may be coming up here.

There's a lot of weight to get up there.

Oh, no!

Mistake made by the corpora. Got hooked. He got on a holy macro.

Beautiful move by the part of Adrian Adonis.

Tremendous sneak victory on the part of Adrian Adonis as the corpora was going for a suplex.

Adrian lowered the boom on him. Holy Moses.

The corporal has been out of shape. There goes your victor right there. It's real simple to me gorilla inexperience

Adonis's experience is what paid off for him there the corporal obviously let's go back to the video replay and see exactly what went down

Here you see the corporal going for that soup like

Stunned the corporal enough, Adonis rolling on top, hooking the leg, referee coming around in good position for the 1-2-3 count, Adrian Adonis will advance, Guerrilla.

Absolutely, and Corporal Kirscher can take the shower.

This contest, one ball with a 10-minute time limit. Introducing first to my right, from Manchester, England, weighing 240 pounds, the Dynamite King!

The Soviet Union, weighing 313 pounds, Nikolai Volkov!

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Volkov requests that you all please rise and respectfully sing with the Soviet National Anthem.

He's finishing his singing of the anthem.

I don't know if the bell is rung or not.

Apparently, it has, I guess, dynamite kid off the top rope

with a big drop kick on Volkov, catching him totally off guard.

Dynamite kid going in, topping Volkov.

Volkov is hurt, stunned, caught off guard.

The referee down the one, two, three-count gorilla.

I can't believe it.

Wow.

Talk about excitement and action.

We've got it right here.

This contest, one fall with a 10 minute time limit.

Introducing first to my left, from Krakow, Poland,

weighing 248 pounds, Ivan Putski, and Kizapone.

that sort of forget about it.

Let me ask you, Gorillaz, did you ever have a female manager?

Absolutely not.

And how do you know where she ought to be?

I know what the proper etiquette is.

The beautiful, lovely Elizabeth, holding the ring ropes open

for this man, Randy Savage, the macho man.

And what a pick of the draw on the first.

for him to get putzky well I'll

tell you what gorilla I'm going

to let it be known right now I

worked out a lot with Randy

Macho Man Savage preparing

Randy Macho Man Savage for this

tournament so Macho Man has had

Elizabeth Brains his own as well

as Jesse the body Ventura's

tutelage to get him through this

gorilla monsoon what do you think

about that well it's certainly

He has to have done him some good because you have a tremendous record here in the world of professional wrestling.

And not only that, but I know a lot about Ivan Paduzki.

I'm sure you do. His name's Putski.

Yes, it's Putski.

Paduzki, right.

Elizabeth taking the ring attire off the back of the macho man and Ivan pacing.

He's got a smile on his face, but I don't know.

Look out, Randy Savage bales out immediately.

And Elizabeth is still in the

ring, Jess.

This match has not started yet.

The bell has not rung.

Putski looks to be in tremendous

condition.

Putski's always in tremendous

condition.

That's one thing I'll give Ivan

Putski.

The man is always in shape.

Always in shape.

probably one of the most agile and quick man in all professional wrestling

macho man Ray Lee Savage and Tutski saying come on you want to come off the

top come on I'm waiting for you. Tutski is not going to catch macho man with any

move like that. Well the macho man obviously with the upper hand as far as

speed is concerned and Ivan would have a tough time catching him but once he does

There's no call for nothing like that, Montu.

Well, a macho man earlier on, a speck on Ivan Putsky.

I never seen that.

I expect it from a guy like Kadoosky, though.

Provocation will do it.

Ivan Putsky was provocated.

Now he's positioning Elizabeth around to the other side

of the ring.

I guess that's where he wants it.

Side headlock now by the Macho Man. I've not wasted any time getting out of there.

Jola Block and it was the Macho Man who went backwards as Ivan shows us that power.

Well, I don't deny it, Guerrilla. Paduski is a powerful, powerful man. Very powerful.

Macho Man's gonna have to rely on brain power to get by this one, in my opinion, Guerrilla.

Certainly will be interesting because I know both of these gentlemen have high hopes for this tournament.

Oh, Potski puts the brakes on and once again, and there goes the Macho Man!

Rammed into their top turnbuckle.

There's no turnbuckle pad there, it's just steel covered over with tape.

I'm sure the Macho Man has seen a few stars right now.

Turning his back on the Polish bar, slipping underneath the rope.

Referee makes eye to move back.

Oh, eye gouch.

How quickly the tide can turn in professional wrestling.

Macho man with a whole lot of tape on those hands.

And now Putzky with that hairline ad ship.

And Mr. Savage is down on the canvas.

Putzky ramming at the head first.

lays it on you, he certainly can hurt you in a lot of ways.

Oh, big uppercut.

Well, Putzki's had the upper hand so far.

Macho Man's going to have to turn it around.

Otherwise, it'll be empty in a hurry.

Ivan, with a vengeance, going to work.

Looks like a machine.

Non-stop action.

Breaking every rule in wrestling, if you notice that.

Oh, Macho Man hooked it in.

Look out, Macho Man's got his feet up on the second.

He got it.

He outsmarted him, Garada.

Look at Elizabeth. She knows what went down.

Look at this.

Macho Man hightail.

We're out of here in a hurry.

But, definitely, both people are on that corner turnbuckle

to get that leverage to hold Pusky Shoners down.

Outsmarted him.

Let's get the word.

The winner of this bout,

Randy Macho Man 7.

Let's go back, I'm most interested to take a look at this videotape, Jess.

There you can see Padooski not even listening to the referee.

Just kicking the Macho Man, Macho Man reaches in, grabs that leg, gets Patsky on his back, holds him down.

Referee down in there, one, two, and three.

Look at that.

Both legs up on top of the second turnbuckle.

This contest...

scheduled for one fall with a 10-minute time limit.

Introducing first to my right, from Hawaii,

weighing 237 pounds, Ricky the Dragon, Steve Bust.

And his opponent from Leeds, England,

weighing 227 pounds, Davey Boy, Smith.

What a tremendous matchup we've got here, Jess.

Scientific wrestling, personified.

Yeah, maybe so, Guerrilla.

But with all the prestige and the money on the line,

we may see some rule break in here.

You like to believe all scientific,

but you'll see greed come out.

I'll be surprised, Jess.

I'll be surprised.

Both men of extremely high character nice standing wristlock by Davy and right around with a nice counter

Oh, nice hook at the leg Davy up in nicely

Look at the block of the hip lock. Oh, there's another way to get around it right there

And a nice block by David takes over Ricky with a beautiful hip lock

You didn't see any hair pulling there, did you?

Referee out of position there as steamers shoulders were down. Look at that fridge

Backside coming up by the dragon shoulders are down there one

Ricky off the ropes dropped down by Davey over the top

Over for the cover to come

Steamboat kicks out. Well, I'll tell you guerrilla steamboats giving up a weight advantage

And I believe a strength advantage to Davey boy Smith, but for quickness. Maybe steamboat has the advantage there

No question of my mind about that. Yes, Davey boy is not exactly slow. You can't call

Absolutely not and I'm not I'm not even too sure about the strength department. Yes, it's close

This is how this whole matchup is very even the whole way

Well, you saw earlier on when the luck of the draw would have it,

Ricky pulled out Davy Boy Smith out of the fishbowl,

and he said, it's a real nice guy.

It's going to be a tremendous match.

Push power slam coming up.

He's got him up there for a long time.

Wow, that's a long way down.

He could get it here off of that one.

You can't get it on a guy like Ricky

if you don't hook a leg or something, Jess.

You forget about it.

Front face lock now by Davy Boy.

Well, Davy Boy's wearing him down.

I gotta say, I think Davy Boy's the stronger of the two, Cruella.

At this point in time, you're absolutely correct.

However, this is a long way from being over.

Suplex coming up.

Oh, couldn't get him.

The Dragon's got him up there.

Can he hold him?

That's the question.

A long time.

Oh, what an executed move that was.

The Dragon off the ropes.

Oh, Davey brought the knees up.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

In fact, very smart on the part of Davey Boy.

Beautiful drop kick.

Beautiful drop kick.

Davey Boy Smith is happy

on her hand of the Dragon here.

And another one.

Boy, what a hard fought battle this is.

Look out.

too many times got hooked right over the top might have gotten hurt in there

just a referee conceded the match and gave it to Steambolt

Tremendous amount of pain take a look at the look on his face

Don't you tell me all that guerrillas Ricky the dragon's as happy as ever to win this match here. Here's the video

Let's take a look at it. There we go steamboat with Davey Boy Smith textbook suplex right here. Wow

Beautiful beautiful suplex right there steamboat going in for a move

Davey boy catches him with the double knee to the abdominal area hurts the dragon

The both men are stunned right here both men feeling the effects of a hard fought battle. Davey boy is a good looking drop kick

Boom, he's got the steamboat reel in here.

Steamboat falling back to the ropes.

Another drop kick, steamboat into the ropes.

Now what baby boy was going for here, I'm not really sure.

Another drop kick, Jess.

Another drop kick, he's not out of the way.

Boom, caught himself in the groin area.

And the referee ruled that's the end of the contest.

Fuck out, sheik with a poor Harvard job on a just guard dog.

This one's underway.

Referee calling for the bell.

Sheik now using his sarong or whatever he calls it wraps it around the throat of the Junkyard dog

But I'll say this gorilla the sheets wasted no time

He definitely wants to advance in this tournament, and he's stopping at nothing

a whole lot of things involved if you can win this most prestigious tournament the greatest one in the history of professional wrestling

Superstars at a World Wrestling Federation doing it.

Got to be careful of disqualification in your out, Jess.

Yeah, that's true also.

Chad going out for this capacity crowd, J.Y.D.

Now the sheets should not let the people get through it.

Uh-oh, look at the look on the dog's face.

mercy here he's not going to get it from the dog. Right on the forehead Sheik says let me take a hike.

Kind of a start maneuver Jess. Well I have to give credit to the Sheik you know the dog turned

things around the Sheik started off fast the dog turned it around now the Sheik's bailed out

Well, it should be a wise move, tremendously wise,

ring better, and you can't hold all the titles

that he held to be a dummy.

Got to have a lot of smarts upstairs

and a lot of wrestling ability.

J.Y.D. powers out of that one.

He's going to work.

He's put the knot right on the head of the Iron Sheik.

Iris Whip now, dog coming off, clothesline job.

Down with the Sheik in a hurry.

Dog down for the cover, both arms out underneath, not going to get him that way.

You're not going to pin the iron sheet that easy.

No sir.

South Bear takes the sheet.

Oh, headbutt, nobody home.

Dog might have knocked himself silly with that one.

Look at the sheet, setting him up.

She looks like he's setting up for the Campbell clutch, Guerrilla.

He's stepping in from behind.

He's got one arm up, there's the other one.

Oh, he's settling back.

Oh-ho.

He's going to get him just definitely I've never seen anyone get out of this hole the iron sheet put that on the junkyard dog

Junkyard dog got those arms up off the legs of the iron sheet

Look at the look on his face

She's she's lost some of the effect of this hole by letting those arms go free and now the dog is fighting it I

Can't believe he's making a move to get out of this

Trying to get those hands down on the canvas

And the dog

Well, she gave up on it just turn the blues turn the blues

He figured once he lost those arms, he didn't have the control anymore

Dread it to the dog as he got out of that look like

Sheik now unloading with a heavy artillery

And the dog trapped in the corner.

Referee, oh, you don't want to do that.

That was close.

You cannot touch referees.

You can't manhandle reps.

He disqualified in the home.

Look out.

And the dog attached with a headbutt.

Referee right down at 1-2.

He got him.

Iron Sheik became preoccupied with the referee.

Exactly, exactly.

The Junkard dog didn't stay.

That's exactly what happened. I believe the iron sheet defeated himself there

He doesn't want to wrestle

I'll walk over here and I'll step out of the ring, you step out of the ring that's fair enough and we'll set him for a draw.

Why don't we both leave the ring and make this thing a draw?

They'll both be eliminated if that happens.

He wants spotting. No dummy. He wants Terry to go first. Oh, definitely, you know, they're I

Don't think nobody's gonna be outsmarted that way

Referee called for the bill to start the match

He gave a shot to the back of the net, but Spotty caught it.

Who knows, Spot went back to get him.

The count is still going on.

And now Spotty's shot into the ring.

as he was about to go after them out to the south.

Spotty out under the corner, but look at Funk.

He's beside himself.

They're going after the referee, Guerrilla.

Oh, this one is over.

He's out of the tournament.

He might as well.

He could do anything he wants now.

He's got nothing to lose because he is out of this tournament.

Boondog's spot will advance.

And the man from the double cross branch got double.

Let's get the official word for it.

The winner of this bout as a result of a countdown,

Moondog Spock.

Holy mackerel, look at this guy.

What a powerhouse for Magnificent One down Morocco.

Going up against Tito Santana, main event.

anywhere in the entire wrestling world.

That's right, Guerrilla.

That's right, Guerrilla.

And I'll tell you something.

This is a non-title match-up.

But I think Santana made a big mistake

getting into this tournament,

because if he gets injured, Guerrilla,

and can't defend that intercontinental title,

I think even his ego is getting away.

He gets stripped of it then.

Well, yes, I don't think that Santana

could stay out of this tournament

in any way, shape, or form.

This is the most prestigious tournament.

in a history of all professional wrestling,

Tito definitely wanted to be a part of it.

There's no way he could stay out.

I think the green got in the way instead of smarts

on his part, Guerrilla.

Well, Tito, his fans, I'd call it.

Morocco now with the upper hand going to work on Tito Santana.

Of course, the Intercontinental title not on the line

in this tournament, nor is any other title,

except that of the hopes.

on the receiving end as Morocco

lowers, levels him with those big right hands

wrapping him up here in for the right Tito

nice duck underneath

high cross body

down goes Morocco referee

I don't know how he could see the other shoulder from that angle

but Morocco comes up with a right hand immediately

to stop Tito right dead in his tracks

rips him in again

sunset flip over the top doesn't have the arm

His legs weren't quite long enough just to get up there to hook that arm. That's right

Well, the magnificent one is not a small man by any means. Oh backsline coming up Morocco very close to the ropes

Turned out of it

Santana's a little bit out of shape

Payback time now Tino unloading with those rights bringing him from left field

Whoa, Tito went over the top backwards, that would have been it, I'm afraid.

That definitely would have been it, Guerrilla.

Tito Santana with the advantage right now.

Whoa, kicked right in the face.

Right on to Snazzola.

Santana pulling out all the stops.

But Chico's not one that refrained from bending the rules now, man.

Well, you shouldn't have talked about bending rules, Jesse.

Hey, I'd bend it, I know.

I call it like it is, Guerrilla.

If they can't take it, then that's too bad.

Ah, hand full of hand on.

Ice reversals, Tito hangs on to that arm.

He's in control right now.

The Magnificent won Don Morocco.

You need to get inside that ring right now.

the former Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion

and the current Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion.

That's right, and as you said before,

there's no title on the line in this tournament.

It's just strictly the classic and the prestige

of winning it, as well as the money.

Well, it's very, very important.

As we stated earlier, whoever wins this tournament

definitely can write their own ticket.

There's two guys you're looking at right now

that either one of them could easily

go on to win this whole thing.

Oh, blows wide, right on the top rope.

Beautiful move on Morocco's part to get out of that hole.

Santana now.

Really sucking for some oxygen here.

I have to say Fuji definitely has the magnificent one prepared for this tournament.

Well, I have to say it, it's true the devious one always has this man prepared.

Nice clothesline by Morocco.

Well executed.

Oh, elbow right to the sternum area.

One or two more of them and that'll be it for Chico.

Oh, the knee right in the same area.

Down for the cover, hooks the leg.

Doesn't quite get the cradle, and Tito able to kick out.

Barely kick out.

Sternum area, very sore right now.

Morocco with a forearm shot.

That'll tear up your undercost of cartilage for you in a hurry.

Steep, hooks in deep.

Look out.

Power slam.

Tito very close to the ropes. I don't know whether you realize it. Yes, he does

You know Santana's rope was

Just what is this Guerrilla Monsoon?

Counter-3 to referee, counter-3, but he realized that Tito had his foot over the bottom rope and said the action would continue.

Well, he sure didn't tell the Magnificent Morocco that.

Obviously he didn't because he got caught in that small package in the hurry.

That is a cheap, cheap pinfall Guerrilla Monsoon, cheap.

I caught a smart maneuvering on the part of the jacket. Let's get to work.

We'll see what went down.

There you see Morocco.

Morocco has Santa.

Santa covered one, two, three.

There's a three count on shoot.

We couldn't see it on our monitor just,

but Tito's left leg was over the bottom ropes.

The referee saw it.

He sure didn't inform Morocco or that fact Morocco considers himself the winner right there

He heard a one two three count. That's a cheap cheap win for an intercontinental champion guerrilla

Thank you very much to build a monsoon with me Bobby the brain he didn't none of your men put men that directly involved in the 16 man elimination

That's right, you know just because they're not here. That doesn't mean we're not watching from some vantage point. I'm always scouting

I'm always looking for new talent. I'm always on the crest of something important

And I'll tell you something right now the creme de la crema professional wrestling

Hey pal

I've got $50,000 with me also, and that $50,000 is gonna go to Cowboy Bobby or it's gonna go to,

if Orndorf survives that it's gonna go to the next man, the next man. Tonight I feel I'm gonna pay

that $50,000 because Orndorf knows everybody out there tonight's a headhunter. He's worried,

and Orndorf you get ready punk, you get ready, and I wouldn't enjoy this more, but right here on

All right, thank you very much, Bobby Heenan.

We have the eighth and the final match

in the first round coming up here for the wrestling class.

And let's go back to the inside.

Oh, Bobby Heenan!

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the final match

in the first round of our Elimination Tournament.

It is scheduled for one fall with a 10-minute time limit.

In the ring to my left, from Kansas City, waiting 248 pounds.

Cowboys, Bob.

Orta!

From Tampa, Florida.

Weighing 253 pounds.

Mr. Wonderful Paul O'Connor!

Mardar getting a tremendous ovation

and another fantastic pick of the draw here, Jess.

Oh yeah, there's no love lost

between these two at all, Gorilla.

Bob Orton taking on Orndorf. Orndorf with 50,000 big ones of Bobby Heenan's money riding on his head.

I'm afraid Mr. Wonderful is having some sleepless nights, Jess.

I would be Guerrilla, wouldn't you?

Well, it's kind of an eerie feeling

knowing that someone has placed that $50,000 bounty on you

and not just to go in the ring and beat you,

but to maim you and put you out of professional wrestling

and it doesn't have to be in the ring,

it could be in a hotel, it could be in a parking lot,

it could be on the bus, it could be anywhere.

It don't matter.

Both men jumping into a position

and Armbar hanging up with control with the Armbar.

He's going to work on it.

I mean he sees Orton as a weakness, he's going to go after it.

Look out, a toilet draw!

thing has been injured now for some seven or eight months and if it's not

injured it will be by the time Mr. Wonderful gets done with it.

Look out for the right, nice shoulder block. Up again quickly, leapfrog by the cowboy as Ace catches him coming back with a nice side headlock.

Takes him over. Head scissors gets him out in a hurry.

Can't pull a hair on that head scissors, you catch that gorilla?

No I did not.

I did.

You know, Orndorff's not one. He'll bend the rules, you know. The people love him right now, but I know the real Paul Orndorff.

Mr. Wonderful wanted to respect everyone in the entire wrestling world, and now he's getting the respect, and he's winning the respect of the henchman, Ace Orton, as he's going to work on that supposedly injured left arm.

Supposedly. Why do you keep having that look at the pain?

If it isn't it will be very shortly Jess is Mr.. Wonderful doing a number on it look at this. He's chicken winged it with his foot

We can see a submission here just orn dwarf is ruthless. I know the true mr.. Wonderful

I would assume he knows you very well.

That's right, but I know Mr. Wonderful, you know,

these fans might be cheering for him,

but I know deep down what's in the soul of Mr. Wonderful.

Oh, nice maneuver by Ace as he caught.

Mr. Wonderful coming in with a full head of steam,

brought that knee up at the last split second.

Oh!

Horton, my book is a restless wrestler, Jess.

He can do it all.

Mechanically, there's not a wrestler, any sounder in the world, and Cowboy, Bob Orton.

Probably one of the reasons why he was picked.

Look at this! Oh, clothesline! Right on the top rope!

And I could feel... I could sense it.

Guerrilla, I could feel that 50,000 might be slipping between Heaton's fingers right here.

A couple more moves like that could do it.

This match's a long way from being over. This is wonderful, a long way from being out of it.

The personal bodyguard and the henchman for Roddy Roddy Piper, right at this particular point in time, doing a number on Mr. Wonderful, who had the upper hand in the first three or four minutes of this matchup.

Orton will let him start to get the upper hand.

You know what else or possesses that could win him $50,000 from he didn't the superplex superplex will do it

What's executed properly? I haven't seen anyone get up

I told you wonderful ain't about breaking rules gorilla

No way you're not going to be

all armed up with that kind of a

cover.

I'm sorry.

Reverse chin lock now by.

Ace.

I wonder what kind of a salary he gets from a rowdy one.

Do you have any idea?

I have no idea.

That's, you know, I'm not part of a gorilla.

I really, really don't know.

But I'm sure Rowdy Rowdy is a very generous man.

I understand he bought him a nice Rolex.

And, oh, yeah.

And Ace does a terrific job for him.

So I'm sure he compensates him well, gorilla.

I certainly would.

Nice head scissors applied by Ace Cowboy Barbork.

Sort of taking stock, giving them that armor chance to get some of that blood circulated through it once again.

Rondo doesn't want to stay in this hole too long.

Tough on the ears.

They're stuffing that head down in there.

Going to keep that pressure on.

And nothing but excitement and pandemonium so far.

Look at the bridge.

Turns it into a nice back slide.

Two-count only.

And Horton can wrestle.

Look out.

High.

Just take care of business

He tee off

Right over the top rope lucky for him. He came down on his feet. He's in dreamland. He doesn't know where he

I don't think Bob Orton's really sure at all where he is and there goes

He's going right off the other end, he needs that breather, he doesn't know where he's at right now.

Another big right hand.

Oh look at this, what's he doing Jess?

I don't know, what's he doing?

He's adjusting something on that cast.

Look how long, right up alongside the head of Mr. Wonderful, with a cast.

Let's recall it for the bell here.

But it needs some kind of interpretation on this one.

He's given a match to Mr. Wonderful.

For what?

This qualification?

He said he used the cars.

First to wonderful.

Trading blows now with a cowboy.

Oh, big right hand.

Ace goes out.

Arndorf wanting to go right after him with a referee stopping him.

The winner of this match has a result of a disqualification.

Mr. Wonderful!

moves up into tournament. Let's go back and take a look at G if we can't pick that up. Here it is right

here. What is he doing here, Jess? Did you like to explain this? He's adjusting the cast, so what?

The thing probably got twisted around after all the punishment that Orton North gave him

throughout the match on that end. Watch what he does when it after he adjusted. Oh, right in front

of the referee. The referee in clear sight of that as Orton just smashed him.

right across the side of the head with it and the referee had already decided that that was a disqualification.

Right now, wrestling fans, let's go up to Vince McMahon and Alfred.

All right, back now with the Special Wrestling Classic Elimination Tournament board,

and Alfred and Susan and Alfred, we can have your attention, Alfred.

Excuse me Alfred. We have your attention for a moment, please

We have if you would please recount what we have here the winners all the winners of the special

Elimination tournament. I might add a few surprises here. Let's take a look at the board now

Well, I think in that first match Corporal Kostner was so enthusiastic to win

He's an experienced show through and I think Adonis was a little lucky there, but he made it

dynamite kid well what a surprise I can only say a fantastic surprise I was

delighted Ivan Patsky and Savage I thought that Patsky should really have

won that match he was the Polish Marcho man himself somehow other Savage

managed to bring that off then this was a fantastic match steamboat and Davey

Boy Smith he could have gone either way quite easily but steamboat has a little

And he won then, the rest of them of course, well, Junkyard Dog I think was a surprise, definitely, what a surprise there!

Was that amazing?

Oh, absolutely incredible, Santana and Orndorf as well, well I don't think you could have seen a better first round anywhere, but...

who is going to have that strength and endurance to go through all right let's go now to take a look at another look Susan if we can hear on the second round and take a look at these matchups Adrian Adonis and the dynamite kid that should be a sensational matchup we moved to 15 minutes on the time limit by the way from there the next round we'll see the macho man Randy Savage here in the second block against Ricky Stiebel that's the main event in any arena in the world and then from there the junkyard dog squaring off against the rather fortunate moon dog spot

and look at that another very much of a surprise here in the last match Cheeto

Santana to meet Mr. Wonderful Paul Lorndorf

first matchup here in the quarterfinals

Dynamite Kid and Adrian Adonis.

And I might add, Guerrilla, these matches are now a 15-minute time limit.

Five minutes added on to the match.

Absolutely.

Quarterfinals, clock at 15 minutes per match.

Dynamite sends Adrian off with a nice shoulder block,

dropped down in front by Dynamite Kid.

Look out, nice arm drag.

Quickness definitely going into the team of Dynamite Kid.

as he is just electrifying us while the dynamite hasn't been tested at all in this tournament if you

remember gorilla he caught nicolai voltoff very controversial when nicolai got done singing his

anthem certainly wasn't surprised moment just spun him right into the quarterfinals and also in

the quarterfinals just gonna see your man the macho man getting it on with ricky steamboat

Oh, look at the slingshot here face first right into the top turnbuckle goes the dynamite kid

The next match is macho man and Ricky steamboat. You got it. You got it. That's it

I gotta take a walk out of here. What do you take a walk? Where you go? I gotta talk to the macho man

I gotta talk to the macho man. You can't go you can't go back in the locker. You're the commentator. I don't care

I gotta go talk to the macho man

The body thrown his headset down here on the table

Said he's got to talk to the macho man

Obviously extremely important

Suplex by Adrian caught him well

Well, we all know that Jesse the body mentor and looking out for the interest of the macho man as he claims that he's gonna be his tag team

I can't believe that Jesse just

walked out of here.

Maybe he'll do that.

Only time will tell.

Then we know what the Bob is

going to do.

Very important matchup right

here.

Only one man will proceed.

From these quarterfinals.

Who will that be.

So far, just tremendous matchups, some surprise endings.

Look at this.

Right out of there with a nice red suplex.

Dynamite coming down, but Adrian sat up right at the last good second.

Experience definitely going to the side of Adrian Adonis.

On the left leg, the area of the dynamite kick, with that tremendous, oh, listen to that annoying mega-mouth in the back run.

Let's get that power turned up.

Talk about stretching out those lateral ligaments.

In any area, that'll do it right there.

Once in a while, I take a look back towards the dressing room area. I don't see Jesse in his way back.

Nice grapevine this is a submission hole here if he gets him over with it dynamite very close to the ring ropes

Might get a chance to you scoot underneath it here. He might have to give this up. He is underneath that bottom rope

Right now referee come on break the hole

Look at the mouth saying he went to the rope Adrian you got him now go get him

Agonis only interested in one thing, winning this match and working on that.

Oh look at this, slipping underneath, reverse cradle here, got both shoulders down.

Whoa, was that close!

That three con was on the way down when Adrian finally kicked out of there.

Kid just it's so very very close to moving up the ladder. It's tremendous elimination tournament

The world wrestling Federation class

And it is a class

Dynamite drops a knee right to the side of the kisser for good measure

Dynamite definitely in control.

Now Adrian goes in hard.

Close line.

Spun Adrian around.

He's in deep trouble.

Dynamite on the second turnbuckle from the inside.

Oh, beautifully executed.

Down for the cover.

Adrian manages to get that right arm out of there right at the last one second.

But Adrian in a lot of trouble.

Oh, what a nice snap suplex.

The guy in my kid doing a fantastic number here.

Headbutt right between the eyes.

Oh, look at this.

The mouth of the South is up on the apron.

He got caught by the guy in my kid.

But Adrian's sneaking up behind, rolls him up in the sunset flip.

Two count only.

Oh, what a shot!

Let's get the official word.

The winner of the match,

the Dynamite Kid!

Dynamite Kid may have popped his knee,

but he certainly got a tremendous victory here.

If he's not too injured,

I'm sure he will continue to do what there it is.

Look at this.

Adrian, like a little baby,

as he was beaten. Let's go back and take a look at the replay.

Dynamite had his hands on the mouth of the South, but now Adrian sneaks up behind with a beautiful roll-up.

Got a two-count. Now he got shoved up by the powerful lakes and Whammo right into the mouth of the South.

They both went down. Dynamite over there making a cover, hooks a portion of the lake, got the three-count.

I understand right now that my colleague is with my other colleague, so let's go to Gene O'Killings with Jesse DeBotting.

Alright, so what about soon? You've got it. You've got it exactly right.

What an exciting tournament. We're in the quarterfinals. Jesse DeBotting, Fentura.

We have seen a lot of action thus far.

But most assuredly, there is more to come in the form of the Macho Man, Randy Savage and, oh, a very good friend of yours.

Go ahead against the steamer, the dragon, Ricky Steamboat.

Well, let me tell you something, Mean Jean. You know the saying, two heads are better than one.

How so?

Two heads are better than one.

It makes sense.

Yeah. Well, now stop and think about three heads are that much more better than one.

You've got Elizabeth, you've got the Macho Man, and you've got Jesse the Body, then Paul.

who's been sitting right out there at ringside, watching very closely every opponent.

I've seen the flaws, I've come back, I've informed the macho man.

Randy Macho Man Savage is ready, he's raring, he's got the body totally behind him,

but I will stay an unbiased announcer also. What do you want?

Jesse Ventura, that was the very subject I wanted to touch upon.

I couldn't help but notice during the commentary of previous matches

when it comes to your commentary never I'm the man who tells it like it is mean

jeep it's just too bad that I'm not this tournament because I'd win a lot of time

talking let's go back to give it a monsoon what a tremendous matchup

this one's gonna be you could feel the electricity and the excitement here in

the air here in the rosebond horizon as you could cut it with a knife look at

beautiful Elizabeth

has not returned Ricky Stevo all

business ready to go ready to

get this thing on but the

macho man got a lot of things

he wants to do before this match

gets underway pointing the

finger right in the kisser.

Oh look at this.

Give me a break pulling Elizabeth

right in front of him for a

What kind of man is that?

That is ridiculous. Oh look at that for a harbor job

Macho oh ducked underneath nice by Seymour and now through the legs the belts come this one's under way

Of the dragon

Look at the look on his face. Elizabeth finally getting around to getting off the ring attire

Reaches up and hooks the leg of the dragon pulls him outside the ringside the right in front of our table now

And going to work on the outside

Macho man chubs him back inside steps in

Both of these men extremely fast

Of course, the Macho Man will use more devious methods.

Went right around the referee that time, but got caught coming in by the dragon.

Planted that leg right up there.

Oh, look at that head scissors. Takes the Macho Man right over the top rope with it.

Down onto the concrete floor.

Not the place to be.

And now Ricky thrust the Macho Man underneath that bottom rope.

Here he comes, nicely tied.

Turned around and ready, but Macho Man hung onto the rope for a split second and then came, but the dragon was ready.

Another armwrestling duck underneath now by the Macho Man lookout.

Suplex will execute it.

The body is back.

Welcome back, Bob.

Thank you

Did you get your message across I got it across I got it across

Elizabeth with a worried look on her face as the dragon unloading with those karate shots

Suplexed from the outside bringing him back in the hard way

Heavy on that right shoulder area

Macho man made it to his feet nice high cross body didn't hook the leg he didn't get him

You're not gonna beat the macho man without hook and something never

Very controversial chops there gorilla to the throat referee should be stepping in and doing something about that

Well, if you thought they were illegal, I'm sure he would just yeah

They've had there one of the premier referees here in the world wrestling Federation

And now on the outside draped over the top rope to macho man. Look at this. What's he looking for?

He pulled something out of his tights. He missed with it

with it as they went down, whatever he had in that right hand, knocked Steamboat right out.

He got it! He got it!

Well, but how did he get it, Jack?

Yeah!

Macho Man went into his tights for some kind of a foreign object.

Let's get the official word.

The winner of this bout, Randy.

or something to that effect.

Now I suppose you're going to blame me for that, huh?

Why not, Jewer, back there talking with him.

I wouldn't put it past him.

Let's go back and take a look at the video replay

and you'll see how evident it is.

Right here, he's already taken it out.

He's got it on his head.

Oh, he just hit him.

He hit him, Gorilla.

You're worse than the Richard Nixon tapes.

I'll tell you that.

He hit him with a foreign object, Jess.

That's what he hit him with.

It showed no foreign object whatsoever.

He just stuffed it right back into his tights.

Stuffed what?

The brass knuckles, or whatever it is that he used,

nevertheless advancing.

I'm still pumped up. Big win for my man, the Macho Man Randy Savage.

You maybe don't like it, Guerrilla Monsoon,

but he got the dragon out of the way, and he's advanced forward.

Yeah, it's the way in which he did it, Justin.

Really doesn't set too well with this.

Come on, he not wasted any time.

As the dog steps through the ropes, goes to work on it.

What a golden opportunity for Spahn.

I don't know what he realizes in a minute.

I'll tell you what, he scored one major upset,

two in a night would be unbelievable.

They come and grab that move by 14 blocks away, Jess.

The dog too smart for that.

Whoa, headbutt.

Spotty reeling.

We do not have a referee in the ring.

Nobody to count.

The dog counted him out himself.

That was ringing, but I don't think that's going to be official.

The dog's leaving.

He says, I won this one.

The winner of this battle, the Junkyard Dog.

Junkyard Dog did it all.

Let's go back and take a look.

I've seen it all now gorilla the junkyard dog delivering the big head but on moon dog spot

The thing got started before the referee even had time to get in the ring

The dog covers the moon dog counts one two three all by himself

Well, we have a judge at ringside who gave the nod

But imagine that the junkyard dog did it all and did it all himself. It is official and the dog didn't

Spot he didn't complain about it. Jess. Let's go to gene oakland

All right, Gerardo Monson. I think you said that lemon pandemonium and indeed we have that even back here as the wrestlers

Of course head toward the ring. You know Bobby. He and I have been watching the wrestling classic with the WWF

President mr. Jack Tony. I noticed you've been watching by yourself, but you're scouting everybody obviously that's right

I wouldn't concern myself to hanging around with you

I've been in every vantage point right here in the Rosemont Horizon.

I've been up in the Raptors, I've been up in the high seats, I've been down at ringside,

I've been in the back. I want every advantage possible so I can scout the talent tonight.

You know, upcoming is Tito Santana, Mr. Wonderful Paul Orrindorff. I don't think

you're going to be picking up any or giving away any $50,000.

You never know. See, I'm scouting the best talent in the world.

You have the best talent in professional sports tonight, not just wrestling,

professional sports right here, and these people are in for a treat.

You know, just around a corner too is a title defense for the heavyweight champion of the world,

Hulk Hogan, and a very dear, close, personal friend of yours,

Rowdy Roddy Piper is going to be the challenger. I'm very curious about your thoughts.

Well, Hulk Hogan is a big name. He's the biggest name in sports today.

I believe he's tired. I believe all these title defenses, everything he's done in professional wrestling.

I believe he's drained, he's ready to be picked, be a new champion tonight.

I'm always glad to ask you for your opinion, Bobby.

My pleasure to give it to you, pal.

Let's go back to Howard Finkle.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the final match in our quarter-final round of the Elimination Tournament.

This contest is scheduled for one fall with a 15-minute time limit.

Introducing first to my right, from Tampa, Florida, weighing 252 pounds, Mr. Wonderful, Paul Ortingor.

And his opponent, the man who scored a first round victory over the magnificent Morocco, Tito Santana.

about the World Wrestling Federation classic this match is going to be a classic. Oh yeah and I'm

interested I'm interested Guerrilla to see if Chico's thinking about 50 grand. Highly unlikely.

You know he may pull off to make it a scientific match and then about halfway through lower the

You don't buy that I don't I don't think Chico can be bought number one

It's a taco salesman from Tijuana that can't be bought

You're talking about the Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion of the world. Yes, I'm talking about his roots, too

Nobody from Tijuana, Mexico can't be bought not from Tijuana, Mexico

Side headlock by the champion

I'm gonna see a tremendous scientific wrestling back side merit takes him over

Each man knows what the circumstances are that concern the outcome of this match

You know, I noticed something gorilla Tito Santana has a heavily bandaged left leg and he did not have that his first match

Well apparently some damage done to that

Toro hamstring in a hamstring or whatever sure

It happens all the time plenty of injuries. That's what I talked about

I thought it was a stupid move on the part of the intercontinental champion getting in this tournament

Well, I disagreed with you then and I disagree with you now. Well look it apparently he's injured himself

It happens all the time Jesse goes with the territory

Orndorff trying to power out of this with a standing wrist lock

Upcoming

The heavyweight champion of the world, Hulk Hogan, puts his belt on the line, Jess, against the hot rod.

Man, I'm going to love that one, Gorilla.

I'm sure you will.

You're not going to?

I certainly will, yes.

All right.

Hondorf got caught in that head scissors after he did power out of there.

Both of these guys knowing what the outcome means for them the prestige involved in being the winner

Definitely, and I'm interested to see if the real Paul Orndorf will come out of this

What do you mean real Paul Orndorf?

Haha, the Paul Orndorf I know from before

And when the money's on the line, Mr. Wonderful will stoop to a lot of things, Guerrilla. Give me a break, Jess.

How come you don't believe everything I tell you?

Because sometimes you're found to the misinformation.

Never.

I'm the man who tells it like it is.

Just like you talked about how the macho man didn't reach

into his tights with a brass knuckles or whatever it was

he had down in there.

Must have had some steam on your lenses.

You're worse than Watergate monsoons.

That's a point in time.

Oh, nice one over here.

By Mr. Wonderful, shoulders are down.

But he don't manages to kick out.

Uh-huh.

I noticed some fist me and Clint you tell me it ain't on the line here gorilla

You don't see any blows thrown yet. Do you just not yet for our blows are perfectly legal anyway

Nice series of annuers there by mr. Wonderful. He's got that left arm bar to hammerlock behind there

Do you know in a lot of pain? Oh?

A chicken wing did now for added pressure

these guys can both do it all as

far as knowing the moves and

counter moves in professional

wrestling.

Tito with obviously a full

hamstring or quadriceps in an

earlier matchup sometimes when

you're hot just to come out of

the ring you don't feel that

injury until you sit around for

a few minutes and cool off.

Right.

You know we could see a

submission right here.

I'll tell you Mr. Wonderful has

this thing chicken winged in

And it's going to take quite a move for Santana to get out of this one.

He decided to reach around in front with his left arm.

Now Tito's even helping him by reaching back and hooked that reverse half-nelson.

He's been a tremendous pinning combination.

Look at him forcing the arm all the way from the body.

That's where the tremendous amount of pain comes from.

And you could tell by this Santana's kisser.

We'll tell you that.

But I guarantee you, there's not a whole lot of blood

coming through that left arm of his right now.

Arndorf going to the ropes to break the hole.

Tremendous respect for each other.

I could feel the volcano getting ready to erupt.

You think so?

I could feel at the tension.

Well, certainly the two goody two shoes

ain't gonna be so goody in a little while, I don't believe.

I wouldn't call either one of them a goody two shoe.

The true Mr.. Wonderful will come out like I said anybody from Tijuana will do a lot of things

Both men here wanting to win in the worst way as there's a whole lot at stake here

The wonderful picks them up

Yes, Santana goes down. I was right on that bad leg too

Santana reeling in pain.

Scoots over to the ropes.

Look at the amount of frustration and pain

on the face of Tito Santana.

He might not be able to continue here, Jeff.

Tito just screaming with pain.

And Paul saying, well, can the guy continue or not?

I can't believe, wonderful, sitting back

and laying back and waiting.

How are you going to win if you ain't aggressive?

If you injure something, you go after it.

What is this?

He's also a sportsman, Jess.

A sportsman.

That's right, showing us the best ball he makes it.

He's going to work on it now.

He's just sent to Lake Trippson.

He better.

Sportsmen are only involved in duck hunting and pheasant

hunting, either way.

Santana reeking with pain is Arndor

going to work now with a toe hole.

which is putting a whole lot of pressure on that quadriceps area.

And Orndorff making Santana carry his weight.

I think we should mention again Guerrilla there's no intercontinental title on the line in these tournament matches.

Absolutely not. Absolutely not. No.

Only title on the line tonight will be that of Hulk Hogan as the rowdy one.

Roddy Roddy Piper tries to strip it from him. That's the only one.

Tito still wreaking in pain.

And Arndorf going to work with that single late grapevine.

Tito reaching up trying to reach for anything to try to get out of this thing.

Not an easy hole to counter just.

Arndorf now takes it up to a standing position.

Oh he dropped an elbow right on it.

He may be looking for that submission.

And he may get it. It's obvious Santana something, you know, it's obvious the leg is injured gorilla

You know, it'd be a pretty heavy price to pay Jess if

In fact the referee took it upon himself to stop the match saying that he don't could no longer continue without in fact

insane

We could definitely happen I told you before I I think it was a dumb move on the part of Santana

I explain to you why he got him down.

Santana on his feet, but not being able to put much pressure on that left leg.

Orndorf giving him a chance here to try to get some blood circulating back in there.

What do we see here? Nice clean break perhaps.

I told you, yeah, but it's on the ropes was a forearm shot for the ropes. I thought you were gonna see a nice clean break

I told you the true. Mr. Wonderful come out here

Which means they'll both be eliminated from the tournament

And they're still going at it

Look at the sportsmanship here guerrilla. Well, you talk about it's possible. It's meant to lose your cool

Yes, I want you to admit to me that I was right and it happened both of these guys lost their cool

Volcano erupted just like I said it would let's go up to

Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has counted both men out of the ring.

This bout is a double countout, and both men have been eliminated from the tournament.

Both men eliminated from the tournament.

Neither one can claim any prestige about that match right now.

Let's go to Vincent Outlet.

All right, back here, ladies and gentlemen,

on the special elimination and rustling classic elimination

tournament board.

Alfred, we can have your attention for a moment again.

And Susan has been busy here with placing the winners.

And now it would appear as though at the end of the quarterfinals

we're going into the semifinals and the dynamite kid is set to square off

against the macho man Randy Savage. You comment on that if you were?

Well I will do but let me first of all say there's an overall picture developing now

and it's the most exciting thing in fact is the most...

exciting happening that I've ever witnessed in wrestling. Now, Randy Savage has had two

tremendously hard matches, and why is that exciting? It's because the Dynamite kid has

had two comparatively easy matches, and now he's going to come against Savage. So that could

definitely the luck of the draw has favored the junkyard dog. I don't care what you say

he is he is prospered by the luck of the draw and he looks a very strong candy day. I like the

whole situation their nerves must be like very electric wires by Maldo. No doubt of that and

of course as you brought out earlier on it certainly is going to take their toll physically

on each individual but the junkyard dog of course with Tito Santana and Mr. Wonderful Paul

So I think he's gonna just sit back relax and enjoy the matchup with the macho man Randy Savage and dynamite kid

And that's the only semi-final match. So all kind of interesting happenings here and the first annual World Wrestling Federation classic

Let's go back to gorilla bonzo

Wow, what a tremendous happening, Jess, in that the junkyard dog by a quirk of faith draws a buy here

That means that the junkyard dog will meet the winner of the semi-final match between the macho man

Randy Savage and the dynamite kid. I think that's that's very very unfair in my book, Guerrilla Machu

But wait a minute. I want you to admit to me in that last matchup with Santana and Orndorff the volcano erupted

Jesse the body again hold it like it was what I said happened did happen and you admit both

both men lost their cool Jesse that's right and I knew it would happen as a tremendous

unfortunate happening because both men were counted outside the ring that meant that both men

have no chance to go further on in the tournament they are immediately eliminated which meant

automatically a buy for the junkyard dog sit back relax watch what the outcome is going to be

It's just unbelievable.

Now, this happening, you could have never

sat down and puzzled out a tournament to come out in this fashion.

It's just going to be an unreal situation.

Oh, we're here to backpipes in the background.

There he is, the hot rod.

Roddy Piper, along with his contingency,

making his way into the ring.

And what a golden opportunity for him

because in this particular matchup,

I'll tell you, Gorilla, when the hot rod does it, he does it with glass.

Certainly does.

Right now, wrestling fans, let's go back to Gene O'Kerlin with the Hulkster.

Here in Chicago is rocking tonight with the elimination tournament and now a ton of defense

from my guest at this time, Rowdy Roddy Piper of course is challenger for you tonight Hulk Hogan.

Well you know Mean Jean that Rowdy Roddy Piper is so dangerous brother, I needed that one

little extra bit of momentum to get psyched and what I did Mean Jean was I sat back,

I watched this elimination tournament and I'm ready for Piper and one thing I'm glad about

Mean Jean.

The whole country gets to see this one, just like WrestleMania, man.

Piper, the whole world's gonna witness this when you feel the wrath of Hulkster.

Shotdown's got Hulkamania, the whole USA got Hulkamania.

Now, Piper, it's your turn to feel what Hulkamania feels like coming down heavy on you, brother.

All right, we have got a capacity crowd on hand for this one tonight, Hulk Hogan.

Rowdy Rowdy Piper has said so many things leading up to this gigantic event.

If he does not win the heavyweight champion of the world,

many say he's going to have a little egg on his face.

Well, verbally and physically, Piper,

you've backed yourself in the corner, brother.

I just hope you're ready for this one, man.

I'm going to use everything I got to put him down,

means he's, it's about time.

Don't you think so?

Well, Ahok, don't put me in the middle.

I tell you this, it is going to be some kind of a title

defense for you as you're headed for the ring.

I just hope Piper's ready.

And what's he going to do when the host is in a while?

Let's go back to our ring announcer.

Ladies and gentlemen, this contest is for the World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Championship.

It is scheduled for one fall with a one hour time limit.

To my left, the challenger from Glasgow, Scotland, weighing 233 pounds.

Roddy Roddy Piper Roddy Roddy Piper preparing for what no god is an extraordinary opportunity

for Mr. Piper to win the World Wrestling Federation Championship from the reigning title holder

Hulk Hogan about ready to be introduced now and you can bet that this Rosemont Horizon

will be electrified as never before making his way to the ring right now the one and

And Hulk Hogan, there's no doubt about it.

You can take a look and that is the eye of the tiger.

Hulk Hogan, on his way to defend the honors

of the World Rusting Federation,

with Defendant Ewell against one of the top-ranked contenders,

Roddy Roddy-Clapper, with a golden opportunity.

And look at the black smoke go off.

Yes, indeed.

and thousands and thousands of fans behind this extraordinary athlete.

Hogan is Hogan now just about ready to lock up with Roddy Roddy fight for this year's

Classic Confrontation here as part of the first annual World Wrestling Federation

Classic. They're going to go for it right away. Let's take you now to Guerrero Monso.

And there he goes to Hulk and Roddy out after but no Hulk's here to bring him out.

He wants it out there with him

I don't think we're gonna see much of an actual wrestling match here

Gorilla, this is a street fight. This is a war. Look out Piper over to Steele Rowling surrounding the ring

And a hugster, though the bell is rung, the referee's putting a count on both of these guys. Roddy scoots in underneath the bottom row

Tremendous weight advantage for the champion, but don't sell Piper short.

Referee cautioning him about that shot for the Asophagus.

Oh, there's a double one right in there.

Those can almost be construed as being disqualified.

I'll tell you what though, Guerrilla, when it comes to ring smarts, I don't think anyone can top hot rod.

Rodney Piper extremely intelligent individual and knows his way around that squared circle pretty well

Piper's body just quivered as the Hulk is putting it to him.

Hooks in deep space.

Champion off the ropes.

Elbow drop landed solidly, coming off again and another one.

But Piper's gonna have to do something.

He's gonna have to pull something out of his bag of tricks

because he can't match force for force with Hogan.

Giving away too much weight, power, and strength.

Got to use your smarts

Right now it's all the champ

Referee stepped right in and hooked the arm of the champ as well. He should they were back in the corner

No, that's not what you do just to make it count. You say get out of the corner

Hogan's notorious for not listening to referee counts

Which I might say is extremely biased

Telling like it is my soon I keep you in line

Piper now has recovered somewhat from that onslaught

And Ronnie now going to the second turnbuckle on the inside

wrapped around the body of the hot rod.

Oh, two fingers right in the eye.

Well, that's one classic way to get out of the bear hot gorilla.

Yeah, it doesn't take a whole lot of intelligence to do that.

But it worked, though, didn't it?

Sure did. Champions down on his back.

Piper's over for the cover. Left arm is out of there.

No way you're going to beat him that way.

But it may have seemed like a good idea at the time.

A whole lot of body weight put behind that shot.

Look at that left arm, Jess. It's out of there.

There's no way you're going to get the champion

and be able to hold him down to that kind of a maneuver.

Roddy winds him up now.

He's right up on the bottom.

No matter how big you are, Gorilla,

you can be knocked out with a sleeper hold.

Absolutely.

Very smart move on the part of Roddy Roddy.

Look at Hogan grabbing the referee now trying to get himself disqualified. It looks like I doubt that very much

We could see a new crowning right here. This could be major upset city monsoon

very possible once you apply to sleeper I don't care how big you are when you cut

that flow of blood to the brain which carries the oxygen the lights can go out

in a hurry this guy is a champion he's got a plenty of intestinal fortitude

he's gonna fight this thing to the bitter end this one a long way from

being over it's hard to fight if you're sleeping absolutely I agree

I've never taken on too many opponents out to sleep in it.

Look, he may be out.

He could be going out to relevant suit, get excited on scene.

We could see a new crowning of a new champion right here.

History could be met right here.

I realize you're being biased, and you're not getting excited.

We could see the new champion of the world right here.

He's got fingers going, saying, no, no, look at Piper trying to hook it with a leg for the champion coming to life, reaching out for that little bit of adrenaline.

But Piper's still holding on, and a hook right over the top rope with Piper on his back.

Wow, that's the only way I believe he could have saved himself, Gorilla.

Piper may be hurt, he came down hard on that ring apron, and Roddy now tries to ram him in, and no.

He gets shoved off at the last moment.

Both men outside the ring now.

Both men hurt.

Uh-oh.

Roddy saw something in the face of the champion

that sort of made him take a few steps backwards.

He's retreating right now.

Trying to get back inside.

And the champ pulls him back out.

Referee is counting away.

Now both men back inside.

Right some left each man exchanging the blows here a wind-up by the champ

Big boot right underneath the chair

Setting him up here now for the coming drop. Yes

Well executed Roddy and a lot of pain

Nice reversal now as Roddy sends a champion

With a double ax handle to the back of the neck the champ runs right into the referee

Piper outside with a chair, coming in into the ring with it.

Right to the back of the champion, wow, he never saw it coming.

Piper with a steel chair about to ram it.

Oh, Hulk stopped it.

The Hulkster reached up and stopped that chair coming down.

And now both men fighting for possession of that chair.

And the Hulk now, whoa, what a shot to Roddy.

And the Hulk puts a sweep around, and he still got the chair wrapped around his arm.

Now it's down inside the ring.

Referee's fighting his way up here to rely on him to what kind of decision we're gonna get out of this.

Oh, look out, he's hooked in with our cast.

And he lowers the boom on Hulk Hogan.

What is this?

I forgot all about the ace, Guerrilla.

Vandemonium broke and loose here in the horizon.

That's how Cook just throw Harvard from the back to the cast.

And now look at this.

Piper holding up, and ace delivery blow after blow.

Here comes Orndon.

And there it goes, Ace.

And there it goes, Piper.

Wow, did they clear out enough?

I'm sure you just qualified for outside interference.

Quick to come to the rescue of the champion, Mr. Wonderful, Paul Arndorf.

You know, I'll admit it, Guerrilla, I got caught off guard, I forgot all about the ace

in the hole.

Well...

Certainly was effective because Roddy was in a lot of trouble. Let's go to get the official work

Defending the World Wrestling Federation Championship in a successful manner thanks to the outside interference and now we'll take you back to the replay and show you the outside interference at this juncture.

I think it's safe to say Roddy Roddy Piper was going to bite the dust.

Hammered into the back of Hulk Hogan cowboy Bob Orton with that cast leveling the 300 pound champion

And look what other damn was just on and on and on

He knew that he had disqualified Piper Orton did from the outside interference and he might as well get his licks in now

Rodney Piper also getting in some cheap shots here right now. Let's go up to Howard fake a long rigged out

This is the semi-final match in our Elimination Tournament.

It is scheduled for one fall with a 15-minute time limit.

To my right, the man who has gained victories over Nikolai Volkov and Adrian Adonis,

the Dynamite King!

And his opponent...

over Ivan Putski and Ricky the Dragon Steep Boat.

Randy Munchoman, seven...

just why you know you know i don't like the idea of this now macho man's facing a real tough opponent

here in the dynamite kid while that old jyb is just sitting back licking his chops and has to do

absolutely nothing to get into the finals well that's a luck to the draw just you saw what happened

to a ornardford centenna if they were eliminated they ought to make the guy come out here and do

200 pushups in between or something to make it even

You got no comment on that, I suppose.

I'm not highly unlikely you will ever see that take place.

Macho Man, proving to me he is not so much of a Macho Man

as in the last round he literally pulled Elizabeth in front of him for protection, Jess.

Is that what you taught him over the last several weeks to use Elizabeth as a shield?

I don't hear you coming.

Yeah, I got nothing to say, you know.

Oh, OK.

What Macho does in there, Macho's trained to do.

He's ready to do.

Elizabeth and I got him ready.

I don't call you a rangatang do I know but anytime you try to belittle or humiliate a lady and in my opinion

until she proves me wrong Elizabeth is a lady

and a beautiful lady at that

you just watch the action don't watch Elizabeth that's what you're paid to do

I'm always watching the action

Both men are jockeying for position here.

I don't know who I'd have to give the nod to here for speed,

Jess, very, very close.

Well, this is a tremendous matchup gorilla.

Fans here in this tremendous elimination tournament

certainly getting a treat.

undoubtedly the greatest tournament in the history of professional wrestling as

the World Wrestling Federation continues to outdo itself. Look at these sit-outs

and turn-ins by the dynamite kid and a macho man didn't like it. He's gonna regroup.

Jess, now you were back in the locker room. You had some words with the so-called

macho man. What kind of...

Game plan does he have for a dynamite. He's he's prepared. He's keeping his cool

You notice the macho man doesn't get frustrated. He keeps his cool, and that's what I believe will prevail

Couple of words of encouragement not so much instructional by elizabeth. I

Really don't know. I haven't figured out to this point in time just exactly what her function is

her function

Look at her, Guerrilla. If you can't figure it out, you're not too old for me to tell you.

I'm talking about out here, Jesse. Out in and about that square circle.

Both of them buying per position here.

She's one heck of a distraction, isn't she, Guerrilla?

Not to a guy like the dynamite kid who knows what it could mean to win a tournament as prestigious as this one.

Oh, soccer job referee stepping in between both men trying to break them, gave the macho man the upper hand there.

Look out, dynamite rammed into that top turnbuckle.

That's all it is is a turnbuckle. There's no pad there whatsoever.

That is a steel just wrapped up with that tape.

oh dynamite retaliated with a nice right hand and another one dropped the macho man down to the canvas side headlocked now by die

and he goes for the ride nice quick over the top look how quick what a nice shoulder block

wow that was one collision there gorilla look like a train coming off those ropes

macho man down heavy dynamite sends him in for the ride again no back drop

Did he shoot him up there or did he shoot him up there?

I think Randy Savage may have underestimated this boy a little bit.

High cross body, but they're into the ropes.

Referee will have a time untangling him here.

Look at that cheap shot by Dynamite.

What?

Savage didn't want to break the hole.

Reversal again.

Went for a back drop and his over got caught in the sunset flip.

trying to get the momentum now.

He didn't get it.

Macho man with enough presence of

mind to drop right down into that

sternum area.

And a dynamite kid now just this

matches.

He's in better shape.

Both men dynamite in better shape

than the macho man right now.

I don't know about right now.

Macho man showing us that ring

savvy that he possesses.

That's the only edge I can really

They both had the same plan in mind, both executed well, and they both got caught.

Referee Lane to count on both men now.

Imagine if they're both counted out here, Jess.

Yeah, then the Junkyard Dog walks in with the title.

He'd be the winner.

Yeah, what a way to win it.

Hey.

Perfect Junkyard Dog manner to win it, too, that way.

Count has to stop now because Savage is on his feet. Look at Elizabeth. She is concerned.

Macho man, just about able. Usually he goes up there just like a monkey, but he's really taking his time.

Oh, what a drop kick!

Dynamite getting weighed up some seven feet high.

Look at this.

A superplex off the top rope. What is this?

he won just he did not win what a move by Randy Macho man savage dynamite thinks

he won the match let's get the word

the winner doesn't look too hot to me as he's faced down on the concrete

Superplex off the top rope. Never seen it before.

Just unbelievable. I don't know how Ramney did it.

I don't know how he did it, but he did it.

He turned defeat into victory.

Can we get the replay on this thing?

I'm sure we can.

I've got to look at this again.

Macho Man, Randy Savage reaching down into the bag of tricks that he has and coming up with turning defeat in the victory with one simple movement.

Just an unbelievable look at this. He's literally being carried back to the locker room.

What do you expect?

Let's go back and take a look at the video replay. It's a beauty.

Here you see the dynamite kit. Unbelievable. Standing on the top rope.

Both sides.

I've never seen anything like it in my life, Gorilla.

Now, the Macho Man did this.

Look at this.

Macho Man, hooking into the cradle,

you can see the Macho Man's shoulder is off the mat.

One, two, and three.

Unbelievable that the Macho Man would have

the intestinal fortitude, the guts,

and the savvy to pull something like that off, Gorilla.

Let's hear it.

We're back here in the locker room of the heavyweight champion of the world still.

Hulk Hogan tonight, along with Mr. Wonderful Paul Wendorf, and if I could ask our cameraman

to follow me, you might want to keep the shot above the waist, by the way.

We've got fellas getting out of the showers here.

First of all, Paul Wendorf, Mr. Wonderful, or maybe I can get ahold of you, Hulk.

Hulk Hogan I'll tell you that was a wild one out there, but I expected nothing less out of this wrestling classic

Right in the middle of the 16-man elimination tournament

Well, you know what's so funny about the whole situation mean gene is everybody expected this man

But nobody knew it was gonna take four and a half five months to get done

You know well really a ding ding rowdy rowdy piper round two and guess what neither one of us have had enough

Piper you or me in the way it looks

your cowboy bob or an ace bodyguard he wants some of the two well you know

something my brother mr wonderful paul orndolph we kind of watch each other's

back you know we always watch each other's back and we got one thing to

say rowdy rowdy piper anywhere

Any time, any place, you, the cowboy, Bob Orton, want to step in the ring for Ringy Ding Ding, round three, brother.

You got it. You know something, honey? You know something, every time, every time, it seems that one of us are in a match with either Orton or Piper.

There's always that outside interference. Somebody's always trying to come in and put one of us out.

Well, you know there's that $50,000 bounty that's on my head right now.

And I'm going to tell you something, Piper, and I'm going to tell you something, Orton.

Everything has gone down, WrestleMania, Saturday Night Live,

Hulkstra and I are gonna be together, brother,

because we're blood, and you can bake on that.

You know, the way things been going around here, man, they always have a ace up their sleeve, man.

They've always got some kind of trick.

Well, you know, the Hulkster never tells a lie, brother.

And, you know, we would never do nothing nasty and underhanded like that, man.

All I got to say, brother, is me and Orndolph got a little surprise for him, man.

We've got a little surprise, and I can't wait till the WWF gets it together for this next one, man.

What could have happened to?

Someone over somewhere!

Thank you very much, Hulk Hogan, heavyweight champion of the world.

I thank you gentlemen very much from the locker room.

Let's go back to ringside and go run them on soon.

Wow.

Holy mackerel talk about being bent out of shape. Jess the honkster and mr.

Wonderful certainly have not ended the feud or the vendetta with rowdy rowdy

Piper and ace yeah they they seem quite perturbed gorilla I think rowdy rowdy and

the ace have definitely gotten under their skin and they're chasing them but

wonderful better never forget he's got 50 grand riding on his head

And it ain't necessarily Rowdy Roddy and Cowboy Bob Orton that can collect that anyone can well they seem very thick to me

They seem to be very very thick and at one point he even said this is blood

And I don't I don't know how he could possibly say that but anything and everything that would it could happen has happened here

And this tremendous classic

Savage throwing his gear out into the ringside here, and we're just about set for this one to get underway

The final the championship match in this tournament and once again, give me a break

Look at this. The JYD looks like he's gonna punch Elizabeth. What a man he is

Junkyard dog no way shape or form would hit Elizabeth

Elizabeth bailed out of there. No hurry though. She wasn't too sure about it

Savage with a chair referee and makes him discard that immediately a fitting

windup that is tremendous classic with these two it look at this ref make him

discard the chair let's get on with this match

That would sort of follow up your game plan right there, Jeff.

Throw your strategy right out the window.

Imagine.

They're free, putting a count on.

A sandwich is the illegal one outside the ring.

Not too anxious to get in and mix it up with the dog.

Right out the other side.

Just didn't long enough to break that count.

I'm sure the derogatory remark

for some of our ringsiders

looking around for something,

maybe some kind of a weapon.

Dog just waiting patiently inside

the center of the ring.

Look at the look of determination

on that kisser.

Macho man saying let's talk this over as well. He should you know the JYP here and the rest will nobody all night

Having a little conversation here with some of our ring ciders

And Elizabeth saying hey the couch's up to about eight you best get back in there

Dog gonna win the strength department for sure

But the speed and agility will go to the side of the macho man Randy Savage

and one of the fitting ending. Take a look at the tremendous strong on hand and they certainly

have enjoyed every minute of this. Headbutt right into the thoracic invertebrate area

and Elizabeth looks worried.

You know, I could tell Guerrilla that that match with the dynamite kid seems to have taken a toll on the macho man because he's not as quick as he normally is.

Wow, why work it, Jess? I've never seen that done in 25 years crossing professional wrestling.

A superplex with both men standing on the top turnbuckle.

Look at the dog. He knows where to hurt in his two as he slaps on this bear hug.

Yeah, he was sitting back in the locker room as in wrestling for 45 minutes.

That's what he was supposed to be doing, Jess.

he drew the by no I never have

gorilla I have in my amateur

background.

Well here comes our other

colleague Gene Oakland.

Gene sit down welcome let me see

if I can get a response out of

Gene Oakland.

Gene Oakland do you feel this is

Junkyard dog drawing a bye doing nothing Randy Macho Man Savage tested to the max by the

Junkyard by the dynamite kid and now forced to come out here and wrestle a fresh opponent.

Now, Jesse, in my opinion, what's fair is fair.

Junkyard dug by the luck of the draw,

certainly receiving that by,

but it could have happened to anybody.

I told him, James, there's no other way wrong.

The match of that could have drawn the ball.

Absolutely.

You know, it wouldn't have been unfair enough to ditch it either.

Without question.

Gorillamansu and Jesse Ventura, both of you, of course,

being ring veterans.

I know you're going to have to concur with me,

but I say this is one of the greatest.

Spectaculars of all time

Well we said that on a number of occasions already, Jane

It's just unreal

As always, whenever the World Wrestling Federation puts its superstars on display

You'll notice the junkyard dog is making no bones, the body is going to break every rule there is

Choking savage in the corner

Well I was watching that, but I guess first and foremost I was watching Elizabeth

Yeah, you would, Oakland

Look out, Macho Man, hard night cornerer comes off with a nice close line

and caught the junkyard dog coming in right underneath the throat and the dog went down hard.

He's hurt.

Macho Man, over for the cover, he's not gonna get him.

Wow! What a kick-out!

Woo!

Well, he ought to be fresh enough.

Oh, please, Jesse.

Yes, why did he carpet on that?

Don't pound a good thing into the ground.

Look how I'm telling like it is overland J. Y. D. through that center rope out under the concrete

Look out below

Double ax handle right to the back of the neck of the junkyard dog the pattern patented Randy macho man savage move

Be very surprised if you'll be able to make it back into the ring after that kind of a shot, but look at

Randy Savage, he's hurting

Oh, what a shot off that top of that third turn buckle.

Look out.

Look at this.

Savage crawling on all fours, sneaking around the corner.

The dog doesn't see him.

Another shot.

Another classic Pearl Harbor attack.

Gorilla on my dad.

Wow, he just rammed him into the steel post.

I call that doing what you got to do to win.

Semi-final not quite over and what would you know about a five you ain't never done nothing athletic in your life except tie your shoes

Look out savage now out onto the floor, and I notice you're wearing velcros now

Macho man takes another shot the double-x handle kind he may be well out of this right now

You may be looking at the winner crawling back into the ring right here.

JYD's got to show me some guts here.

I don't know if there's anything behind it.

Look at this.

Here comes a chair.

Calling a world.

Pulling out all the stops to Macho Man.

Gerlemon soon tell me if I'm correct could not the macho man been disqualified and junkyard dog automatically been declared the winner

Absolutely, especially classic. Absolutely. I think so

However both men have been going to the well here look at another sneak attack on all fours like a dog

Look at this

Referee counting away here. He would be justified certainly in disqualifying the Macho Man Randy Savage right here

Junkyard Dawkins ordering a whole heap of punishment

And Savage at the last second dives back in

This crowd not really appreciative of the course of events taking place on this particular event. There is no

This championship match has no time limit.

There must be a winner.

Butcher man going up again.

Not again.

Oh, no.

Come on.

Give me a break.

Look at the-

Jesse I think you're gonna have to admit that I don't I don't think there's

to be a series of headbutts like that what a move I think more devastating than

that was that particular move right there because the back and lower spine area

of Randy Savage is in deep deep trouble

headbutt he's hooked up with those ropes come on referee get in there and do your

job get him out of there wait a minute now it's a different story Jesse

Look at this, right in front of the referee, Oakland, right in front of him.

Elizabeth screaming at the referee to step in there and get her man out of the ropes.

And the referee is doing just that right now.

He's out.

Oh, and I got him.

Stopped the dog, getting his tracks.

This capacity, crowd on her feet.

Reversal, and Savage goes in.

The dog made a card to mistake there, dropped his head.

Look out!

He's out of it. He's knocked out

There's a six count

He is completely out of it unable to make it back into the ring

Let's go up to our ring and out so for the official

Macho man Randy Savage was counted out of the ring the referee awards the decision

It's been a hard fuck day.

What are you doing in there?

What are you doing?

I'm protesting this thing. This guy did not wrestle as many times as Macho Man Randy Savage.

Savage had to face the dynamite gift while this dude was sitting back in the dressing room doing nothing.

I told you Jesse, that's the luck of the draw. I'm sorry for the interruption.

I'm sorry for the interruption, I promise.

I ain't goin' for it! I ain't goin' for it!

Randy Macho Man Savage should be declared the winner of this tournament!

And I go on the record with that, and they know I'm killin' like it is!

Well, I don't know what you're talkin' about, but this is just incredible.

Jesse Ventura giving the Junkyard Dog a lot of heat.

Junkyard Dog wins the elimination tournament.

Here's part of the World Wrestling Federation Wrestling Classic.

Guerrilla Monsoon, let's go back to you.

Wow.

What?

You love it, don't you?

I loved every bit of it.

Yeah.

Just, it was a fantastic.

I loved it.

Fantastic.

But the junkyard dog, they should have had one more opponent for him.

Like I said, I got into the ring, I took it upon myself to tell him what I felt about

it Guerrilla Monsoon.

He wrestled only twice.

There was no other opponent.

The Monsoon had to wrestle three times.

Definitely was no other opponent.

Wrestling fans, I hope you enjoyed it as much as we have.

Guerrilla Monsoon here at ringside with Jesse DeBotti.

Vince McMahon, let's go back to you.

We would like to say so long from the beautiful Rose Mon

Horizon in suburban, the windy city of Chicago,

for the first annual World Wrestling Federation Classic.

We certainly hope you enjoyed it.

So long, everyone.

Cheerio.

All of right there wrestling fans, don't touch a button on that DCI.
