Hello everyone AND WELCOME TO WRESTLING

with the fountain of misinformation,

Bobby the Brain Heen. Boy, have we got

action AND EXCITEMENT AS ALWAYS. Fast

breaking news. Too [cheering] fast to

KEEP UP WITH. BUT HERE it comes.

TALK ABOUT THINGS HAPPENING IN a hurry.

Wrestlemania 3 is breaking loose with

all kinds of information.

It's just unreal. Ricky the Dragon,

Stebo, joining us this weekend. single

competition. The dragon is 100% and

ready and so is this guy. Look at the

jerkyard dog is already jacked this

thing. The junkyard dog. All the

information you want to know about

ALL WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU ALL THE

Well, you know the Slickster. plus six.

This next bout is scheduled for one

fall. Introducing in the ring at this

time from Hollywood, California,

weighing 242 lbs, Chick Donovan.

The opponent soon to be entering the

lbs. Ricky the Dragon Steamboat

standing ovation and rightly so. No,

that was Donovan. He's g a break.

Are you sure? Ricky the dragon steamboat

back 100% AND THIS ONE IS UNDERWAY AS

THE BELL is gone.

Tell me a little bit uh brain

about some of your thoughts as to what's

gone down here in the past couple of

weeks.

Well, I have been on the phone

constantly. I've had three hours a night

sleep as all. I've negotiated contracts.

Well, you're going to tell it all a

little bit down the rope. This is the

biggest thing I've ever been involved

with all my years in this great sport.

History will definitely be made. March

29th in the Silver Dorm in Pontiac,

Michigan, we will have the world's

largest capacity crowd ever in the

history of professional wrestling. And

Hulk Hogan is going to be wrestling the

world's largest athlete, undefeated in

his whole wrestling career. And the new

heavyweight champion, Andre the Giant.

>> Only undefeated because he never met

Hogan.

>> You're you're a dreamer. Talk about big

guys. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE UGANDAN GIANT

CAMALA AND HIS ENTOURAGE. We asked them

to pick a winner.

>> I [screaming]

AM IN THE GROUND. I HAVE HEARD THE FOUR

WINDS BLOW AND THEY [screaming] SAY THAT

THE MAN THAT HAS BEEN UNDEFEATED FOR 15

YEARS WILL REMAIN UNDEFEATED UNTIL HE

MEETS KAVAL.

WELL, the Wizard obviously at 40,000 ft

and cruising. He doesn't even know what

day of the week it is.

>> You hear those noises coming out of

Camala, you're going to hear those

noises coming out of Hogan. But it's

going to be magnified all over Pontiac

Silverdome Stadium. We'll just have to

wait and see.

>> And I can't wait till you're there

sitting down there at ringside crying

your eyes out cuz your idol has gone

down the toilet.

>> The shoe may just be on the other foot.

It won't fit. [cheering]

I'll tell you, like we stated earlier

on, in fact, last week we mentioned how

you would be doubly upset and you will

have your hands full not only consoling

Andre the Giant, but consoling Hercules

Hernandez. Hercules Hernandez doesn't

need me to consult him. Just

negotiations.

Oh, WHAT A SMART MOVE BY THE DRAGON.

LOOK AT THIS. WHOA, WHAT A BACKDROP.

And a scoop flag.

Tell me the Dragon's not 100%.

side headlock caught him right in the

middle of that particular move. But look

at this. Look at the awesome power. Oh,

well executed back breaker.

Silver Dome, Pontiac, Michigan.

You best get your tickets early because

history is going to be made and I'm sure

that everyone will definitely want to be

a part of it. You know, I think they're

going to have to rename this particular

venue when this is all over to the gold

because silver will have the wrong

connotation.

>> No, they'll probably just call it Giant

City

>> in reference to Hulk Hogan and his

tremendous title defense.

>> Every aisle, every seat will be known as

Henan Mania.

>> Hean Mania.

>> We'll just see. Ricky the Dragon ski

with a side headlock now in control of

this matchup.

When are you going to announce the whole

card? Later on.

>> Yeah, a little bit later on. We're going

to get

>> I want to announce a special match that

I put together involving King Kong

Bundy. Wait till you hear this one.

>> Well, why don't you go ahead and do it

right now?

>> CAN I? YEAH.

>> I WAS APPROACHED WITH THIS THE other

day. Seems like Hillbilly Jim is hanging

around with two of his little buddies,

Haiti Kent and Little Beaver. Both

>> Well, I signed a six-man tag match.

[cheering] HILLBILLY GYM, THE HAITI

KING, LITTLE BEAVER AGAINST LORD Little

Brook, LITTLE TOKYO, AND KING KONG BUNDY

IN A SIXMAN MIXTURE.

WHAT kind of a MATCH IS THAT? WELL, YOU

EVER SEEN FOUR MATCH?

>> SIXMAN, very unusual sixman tag team

matchup. Two big GUYS AND FOUR LITTLE

GUYS. There's all kinds of excitement

involved in Wrestlemania 3. And this is

only one of the I believe 13 or 14

matches already signed as part of the

biggest wrestling extravagance of all

time. THE DRAGON OVER THE TOP ROPE AND

OUT.

And I guess there's going to be all

kinds of notable people there. Hollywood

press stars everything. Why? Cuz they

want to get pictures and they want to

shake the hand of Andre the Giant. Well,

[cheering] because it's going to be a

history making event. AND UH

>> CHICK Donovan

giving the Dragon all he WANTS RIGHT

NOW. THE DRAGON THROWING IT BACK INSIDE.

>> BOY, I wasn't aware of where this

Donovan could. Look at this. THE DRAGON

[cheering]

UP ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE. DONOVAN TURNS

AROUND A HIGH CROSS BODY HOOKS THE LEG.

A fast. [cheering]

Steamboat.

[cheering]

everybody that he is still 100%.

Look at this. Wow. What height he got on

that right now for the count. One, two,

three. Let's go right now to our special

wrestlers rebuttal.

You know, everybody wants to find out

who the true master of the full Nelson

is. Well, let me tell you something.

After Wrestlemania 3, after I've

defeated you, Billy Jack, you'll know

and the people out there will know who

is the true master of the F Nelson.

opponent making his way to the ring from

Charlotte, North Carolina, weighing 280

lb, the Junkyard

Dog.

>> Look at his capacity crowd come to speed

in greeting JYD, the junkyard dog.

>> Doggy better get ready. He's about to be

outstroke.

Junkyard dog can do it all, but Jupiter

is going at it.

>> And they're on their feet here this

week.

[cheering]

>> Junkyard Dog, in fact, playing a big

role in Wrestlemania 3. We'll get to

that in just a little bit. But last

week, Bobby the Brain Heaton gave us

lesson number one. Here's lesson number

two. [cheering]

>> Junkyard Dog, this is lesson number two.

Ow.

Neil

arrive [screaming]

junkyard dog. That is lesson number two.

Remember?

>> Well, it's certainly easy for the king

to make you do that brain. But it'll be

a little more difficult for him to make

the junkyard dog do that. WE DID it once

and the second time is always easier.

That is another gigantic match I think

for Wrestlemania. Now, do you know

anything about this match?

>> I I think I do know that.

>> Okay, tell me what you've heard.

>> Well, I heard it definitely that Brown

is up for grabs. The winner does in fact

get the crown and also the loser

[cheering]

has to bow and deal to the winner. WELL,

>> I HOPE HARLEY'S KNEES ARE IN good shape.

>> Don't you worry about that. You know how

the dog likes to

he doing now? guard dog having A GOOD

TIME AS BARIO OBVIOUSLY did not do his

homework as he tried TO RAM THE DOG'S

HEAD INTO THAT TURNBUCKLE. [cheering]

HE'D NEVER DO THAT TO THE KING.

>> OH, we'll have to wait till March 29th

to FIND OUT.

>> THE WINNER OF THAT MATCH gets the crown

and the loser has to bow down.

>> LOOK AT THE DOG.

>> OH, POWER SLAMBER

WITH IT. IT'S OVER. [cheering]

TALK about excitement. We've got it

right here as this capacity crowd goes

bananas.

>> Here is your winner, the junkyard dog.

Junkyard dogs making quick work of very

talk about emulating someone, you might

just want to emulate a guy like this.

Let's go back and take a look at how he

polished him off with that beautiful

power slam ahead

as Bario had a little rough time.

>> Did you hear the announcer say the

winner, the junkyard dog? I'm going to

guarantee some 90,000 PEOPLE will never

hear that.

>> No. 90,000 people will probably hear the

winner, the new king, the junkyard dog.

>> No way. They're going to be stealing

that mutant.

Uh

>> oh, he's got him going. They're juking

in there right now. But right now,

folks, let's catch up on some news about

the WWF.

>> All right, fans. Stay tuned. We're going

to get you back up into the ring for

more exciting World Wrestling Federation

action. Poria Civic Center Monday night,

March 2nd. The World Wrestling

Federation back. Jake the Snake Roberts.

Wow, is he optimistic about his upcoming

meeting here at Peoria with the Ugandan

head hunter Camala. Paul Roma meets

Steve Lombardi. It's going to be SD

Jones and CB Afy going against veterans

Don Morocco and Ace Cowboy Bob Orton.

Newcomer from Australia, Outback Jack to

meet Tiger Chung Lee, the veteran from

Korea. And Moond Dog spot goes against

Sika,

>> Bobby Heenan. Bobby Heenan. Uh, I'd like

to, if I could prevail upon you cuz I

want to get I want to get Harley race.

Harley, come on in. King of wrestling,

your highness. Wait a minute. What do

you want me to call him?

>> I want you to keep your mouth shut.

That's what I want you to do. Well,

bring

>> talk to them. They need you. I don't.

>> Well, wait a minute. Harry Race is going

to be teaming up with Adrian.

>> What can I do? You refuse to let your

men talk to me.

>> Oh, no. It's not that. I'm trying to get

the king to come out here.

>> I don't think you trust me.

>> You're right about that, pal. But the

king doesn't want to come out here. The

king doesn't feel that he should grace

your television sets and your

>> Come on up.

>> Hey, I'm talking. talk behind my back.

>> I just

>> don't you work at John Deere like the

rest of these people. Relax, pal.

Now, the king doesn't want to speak to

you people. The king has nothing to say.

But what he's going to say and what he's

going to show you is him and Adrien

Adonis are going to get that miserable

junkyard dog down. And the man that

wears the plaid, rowdy, rowdy piper. How

do you get the name rowdy? He beat up a

guy blown on a bag pipe. So when they

blindside him someplace in Scotland,

that'll make you tough. The king has

earned what he has. So is Adrian Adonis.

Now I will bring the king.

>> I've got some real bad news for you,

Bobby. He We're out of time.

>> Oh, wait a minute. King, you're on the

second.

>> There certainly has been a whole lot of

talk and speculation this past several

weeks on the rumors that are going

around about Rody Rody Piper's possible

retirement. To get the whole story,

let's go down to a special interview

with me, Jean, and Rowdy.

>> Well, the rumor mill has been turnurning

in recent weeks, and Rody Piper, I

wanted to get it direct from you.

Speculation as to possible retirement

for you of all people.

>> I will remove all doubt. Yes, I am

retiring. Yeah. Yeah. Yes, I am

retiring. Now, I've made some mistakes,

friends. I ain't apologizing for none of

them. There's only one mistake I ain't

corrected. That's Adrien Adana. So, you

say, Rody, WHY DON'T YOU RETIRE NOW? NO,

thank you. I want to hang around for

March 29th, Wrestlemania 3, the greatest

EVENT EVER. BECAUSE WHEN I BEAT THEM, I

WANT YOU ALL TO SEE IT. ALTHOUGH, WIN,

LOSE, or draw. March 29th, I RETIRE. BUT

I, [screaming]

ADRIEN ADONIS, AIN'T GOING OUT, NO

LOSER. I WORKED MUCH TOO HARD TO GET

WHERE I AM. Rody Piper, I can't think of

anyone in entertainment and sport, save

perhaps the great Rocky Marciano who

ever retired at the very top, the peak,

the pinnacle of their career. But

apparently, you are determined to hang

it up.

>> Yeah, I am determined to hang it up. I

tell you something, fans can say what

they want to about me. I don't mind

that. I got one thing I want to leave

you with.

May you be a half an hour in heaven

before the devil knows you're dead.

>> Rody Rody Piper shocking the wrestling

world indefinitely announcing his

retirement. Well, all this goes back a

long way. We know exactly what Rody is

talking about because way back in early

January, a match took place between

Rowdy Rody Piper and Adrien Adonics that

explains it all. So, let's join this

match courtesy of Saturday night's main

event in progress. What a match up this

should be.

>> Oh, it'll be a great one.

>> Look at Adonis. He's taunting Piper.

Taunting him.

>> Leaning right into IT.

>> TRYING TO GET him to MAKE A MISTAKE.

>> OH, WOW. Look at that. It's not the

first time the skirt's been placed over

the HEAD OF ADONIS. ADONIS FOR THE RIDE.

>> WELL, THAT WAS VERY GOOD. MCMAHON.

>> ROWDY. ROWDY. PIPER WITH A RIGHT HAND.

PIPER TRYING TO SET UP ADONIS. BACKS HIM

UP. PULLS HIM OVER THE HIP.

>> Big field throw by ROWDY ON THE DEFENSE

RIGHT TO THE CHOPS. [cheering]

>> ROWDY. RODY PIPER.

>> NOW THE referee's got to get in there.

Mela's got to get in there and get

Adonis unhooked.

>> He's unhooked.

[cheering]

>> ADONIS FOR THE RIDE. LOOK AT THAT.

>> YOU KNOW, MCMAHON, I'VE BEEN noticing

something. Your voice is leaving you.

You've been rooting so hard for your

favorites tonight. You're losing your

voice and I'm glad to hear that.

>> RODY RODY Piper in control of the

moment. By the way, we've just

[cheering] been given notifications.

sketchy as it may be that Elizabeth has

been released [cheering] from George the

Animal Steel's protective custody.

>> Well, thank goodness for that. You call

it pro protective custody.

>> Well, that's what it should be.

>> There's still charges pending on that

one.

>> Piper.

>> And look, he's going to work on that

injured arm of Adonis right there. LOOK

AT THAT. NO MERCY ON THE PART OF PIPER.

>> Should he have some? Would you HAVE

MERCY, JESSE? [cheering]

YEAH, IT'S POSSIBLE, MIKE. You know, I'm

a good-hearted guy.

>> Yeah. [cheering]

>> BOBBY RODY PIPER MOVING IN ON ADRIAN.

>> BOOM. WOW. WHAT AN EFFORT CUT IN THE

MIDSECTION. ANOTHER one by

>> And there was a classic mist for State

by Piper. He was talking instead of

wrestling.

>> Good point. ADONIS MOVING IN.

ADONIS WITH VENGEANCE SPEWING FROM EVERY

PORE.

>> LOOK AT THOSE FINGERNAILS. He's ripping

them apart with it. [cheering]

>> ADONIS WITH A KNEE LIFT. WORKING IN THE

MIDSECTION.

[cheering]

>> Fans are chatting Rody Rody, but it's

not helping.

>> A BLOCK BY PIPER. A RIGHT HAND BY PIPER.

ANOTHER HAYMAKER AND ADONIS FIGHTS TO

JOSH. I'LL tell you, it's got to be a

hard punch to take Adonis off his feet

like that.

>> FACE FIRST TO LANDAS.

>> PIPER IN COMPLETE CONTROL AT THE MOMENT.

[cheering]

>> NOW THERE'S a mistake. Looking to the

crowd for approval. HE CERTAINLY GOT IT

AND SO DID ADINIS.

[cheering]

Hyper in control. Adonis on his feet. No

reversal BY ADONIS. GOOD NIGHT IRENE.

SLEEPER HOLD. OH, BUT LOOK AT THAT. BOTH

BEEN OUT AT THE SAME TIME. [cheering]

FIGHTING ON THE OUTSIDE. PIPER HAMMERING

AWAY. [cheering]

>> Jimmy Hart IN TROUBLE.

>> I'll tell you, I can't believe McMahon.

Everybody's brutalizing.

>> What's the story with this?

>> Oh, WAIT A MINUTE. JUST SQUIRTED PIPER

RIGHT IN THE EYES. WHAT A TRAP.

>> NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. NOT IN THE EYES.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT IT IS. OBVIOUSLY,

Piper had a horrible pace of bad breath.

HELLTOSIS HAD TO BE.

>> HAD TO BE.

>> PIPER BLINDED. RODY PIPER CANNOT SEE.

[cheering]

>> OH, HE squirted him bad breath. Adonis

probably COULDN'T STAND IT.

>> ADONIS WITH THAT SPRAY CAN

SQUIRTING IT. GARBAGE INTO THE EYES OF

PIPER. THE COUNT NOW CONTINUING. PIPER

COULD BE COUNTED OUT. [cheering]

>> The question is, can Mela count to half?

[cheering]

9 10.

>> THAT'S IT.

>> YES.

>> ADONIS

APPARENTLY VICTORIOUS, but only because

HE SQUIRTED A CRAP INTO THE EYES OF

PIPER.

>> WELL, the good thing is Piper won't have

the bad breath anymore.

>> RODY PIPER ON HIS FEET. I THINK HE'S

THINKS HE'S STILL IN THERE WITH A DONUS.

>> Look at that. LOOK AT ADRIAN. AGAIN, THE

REFEREE. NOW, this is getting out of

control, McMahon. Every one of your

heroes is punching out referees.

>> WAIT A MINUTE. RODY PIPER IS BLIND AT

THE MOMENT. HE PROBABLY THOUGHT THE

REFEREE WAS ADONIS. LOOK, HE'S STILL

THROWING PUNCHES.

>> OH, REALLY? In other words, Adonis was

wrestling with a shirt on.

>> That's what you're going to tell me now.

>> THE MAN IS IN INTENSE PAIN.

>> FINALLY, THE REFEREES, THE OTHER

OFFICIALS COMING IN TO HELP OUT.

[cheering]

There's your winner right there. Adrien

Adonis and Jimmy Hart. [cheering]

>> He may have won the battle, but he's

certainly not going to win the war in my

book. LOOK, TAKE ANOTHER CLOSER LOOK AT

IT. Look at that spray RIGHT IN THE EYES

OF PIPER.

>> THERE IT IS. Everyone at home can see

now how to get rid of bad breath.

>> Well, the adorable Adrien Adonis

obviously trying to maim and blind Rowdy

Rody Piper. I'll tell you what, come

March 29, things could be a whole lot

different. There's always something of

special interest going on in the World

Champion of the World Hulk Hogan. I've

got to get the impression that Bobby

Heenan, whether it's Hercules, King

Kong, Bundy, Paul, Mr. Wonderfulorf, is

trying to soften you up for Andre the

Giant in Wrestlemania 3.

>> Well, you know, YOU'VE WATCHED IT, MAN.

YOU'VE WATCHED IT OVER THE YEARS. YOU'VE

WATCHED THE HERCULES, THE MR.

WONDERFULS, YOU'VE WATCHED THEM COME AND

brother. But now that I know YOU'RE WITH

HEAN, NOW THAT I KNOW IT'S NOT A DREAM,

YOU'RE DIFFERENT, BROTHER. But I know in

my heart, I've got enough to stay with

you. ENOUGH TO STAY TOETO- TOE, BROTHER.

NEW GENERATION. THE LITTLE HUNKSTERS,

MAN. THAT BELIEVE IN THE MESSAGE. THE

YOU. NOT THE 24IN PYTHONS, BROTHER. Not

all the hulk maniacs, man. It's the

reason we're fighting. It's for life,

brother, not for the ego, the greed. And

you can't beat that. Test me, ANDRE THE

GIANT. I'M READY for the test.

better. It's Wrestlemania 3 at the

Silverdome in Pontiac on March 29th. Oh

YOU? ALL THAT SCREAMING AND THESE WOMEN

ARE FOR YOU.

What is this?

>> Well, class will always tell.

>> Boy, I'm right in the middle of these

two beauties.

>> What was that? I heard you got a Bomo

and a Studaker, right? Neither of them

work too well.

I'll tell you what, Morocco and Ace

don't have to take a backseat to anybody

in tag team competition as they've

proven time and time again. Freddy,

let's uh let's get down to the

nitty-gritty right away. Give us some of

your thoughts about this unbelievable

happening coming March 29th at the

Silverdome, Pontiac, Michigan, and the

World's Heavyweight Championship on the

line.

>> Well, there's so much going on. I mean,

you just can't single out one match. I

mean, you have Nikolai Volkoff and the

Iron Chic, as you well know that they're

two of my favorites going up against the

the Bees, Killer Bees. Well, without a

doubt, they're going to merge

victorious.

Volkov and the chic.

>> Well, we have a whole lot of things and

you can bet that the fashion plate won't

let us down. He'll be continuing to

expound on all of his men that are

involved or all of his halftime men that

are involved in Wrestlemania 3. Right

now, let's go to Mr. Fuji. See what he

has to say.

>> Mr. Fuji has something very special for

you. Martel Zing, can you say to Mr.

Fuji after the match in Wrestlemania

with Morocco and

no more little girls be to after you.

That's got to be one. [cheering]

Mr. Fuji looking for a very impressive

victory. Fredic, back to you. Well,

[cheering]

the match that I'm going to be watching

very close is that match between

Hillbilly Jim and is teaming up with a

Haiti Kid and Little Beaver against King

Kong Bundy, Little Tokyo, and Little

Brook. What happens if King Gong Bundy

falls on one of those little midgets?

>> Oh, THAT'S HIGHLY UNLIKELY, BUT I don't

know. Probably the brain heated on. LOOK

AT THAT. HE GOT HIM WITH THE SUPERLEX.

>> HE GOT HIM. He just beat him an old

student. IT WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME, BRAIN,

if you were in fact to give instructions

to King Kong Bundy to try to maim and

humiliate one of those little guys.

>> Here are your winners, the Ace, Cowboy,

Bob Orton, and the Magnificent Porco.

>> Chalk it up. Very impressive victory

here this week. Let's take a look at it.

The superflex coming at you once this

guy lays this on you, Freddy. There's no

getting up from it. I don't know.

>> Oh, I've seen this time and time again.

Hey, I just all over. What is it?

>> Imagine Bundy super flexing four midgets

at one.

>> LET'S GO TO THE SNAKE PIT.

>> And now Jake the Snake Roberts in the

Snake Pit. [cheering]

>> You know,

in this wild and wonderful world of

professional wrestlings, you run into a

lot of strange people with a lot of

strange names. But the strangest name

I've ever heard belongs to my next guest

because myself, I think it's kind of

stupid. Let's introduce the hulky talk

man. I mean, what kind of name is that

for any man, huh?

Hulky talk man. What kind of name is

that? You're not afraid of snakes, are

you?

>> FIRST OF ALL, I YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY

go ahead and make a complete idiot of

yourself and sing something. [cheering]

>> Well, I'm not going TO MAKE AN IDIOT OF

MYSELF, BUT I'M FIXING THIS THING. I

know they're all ready out there. ARE

YOU READY, COLONEL? YOU READY, COLONEL?

>> HERE, I'll hold the microphone over here

and the snake over here.

>> Just keep the snake back. The honky tonk

man's ready. I KNOW. [cheering]

SHUT YOUR FILTHY MOUTH.

OKAY, here we go now. I'm ready. I'm

ready. I'm ready to rock and roll.

[cheering]

>> What's wrong with MY

[cheering]

You two guys are too much. You know

that. You two guys ain't got no guts.

Your [cheering] voice stinks. Your voice

stinks. You know what I mean? HUH? YOU

KNOW WHAT I mean? You made an end of

yourself.

[cheering]

There you go. WHAT KIND OF VOICES HE GOT

NOW, BABY? WHAT KIND OF VOICES HE GOT

NOW, BABY?

What kind of VOICES HE GOT NOW? HUH?

THERE YOU GO.

S, BABY.

THERE'S THE HULK.

[cheering]

>> Do you believe the hockey talk band?

Absolutely incredible that he would

strike Jake the Snake Roberts in the

snake pit and the world saw it. More on

that later. Welcome to the Wrestlemania

Report. I'm Gene Oakland. Wrestlemania

3, the Silver Dome, Sunday afternoon,

March the 29th at 400 p.m. By the way,

if you can't join us live at the Silver

Dome, you will be able to join us on

full color Giant Screen TV in your area

or on selected pay-per-view cable TV.

Grab your pencil and paper because I'm

going to be giving you ticket

information a little bit later on. The

Can-Am Connection? Yes. To meet Morocco

and Orton. By the way, a possible

surprise guest in the corner of Rick

Martell and Tom Zinc. In addition, the

natural Butch Reed, who is managed by

the Doctor of Style, Slick, will be

going against the Birdman, Mr.

Electricity. I can only be talking about

Coco. Beware. Talk about tag team action

as part of Wrestlemania 3. The Killer

Bees, Blair and Bronzel, meeting former

tag team champions, The Big Russian

Nikolai Volkoff, and his partner, the

Iron Chic. Here's one they're talking

about all over the wrestling world. The

two big strong men, Hercules, managed by

Bobby the Brain Hean to meet Billy Jack

Haynes. And the way I see it, it's going

to be a battle of the full Nelson's in a

six-man tag. The big and the little

involved. King Kong Bundy along with

Lord Littlebrook and Little Tokyo on one

side of the fence and their opponents

the trio of Hillbilly Jim, the Haiti Kid

and Little Beaver. The self-proclaimed

king of wrestling, Harley Race, also

managed by Bobby the Brain Hean

continues his feud with the Junkyard

Dog. Making this match even more

interesting, the loser will have to

kneel and bow before the victor. The

fabulous Rajo Jaca Ramon from Montreal,

Quebec, Canada, facing the dream team of

Greg the Hammer Valentine and Brutus

Beefcake. Dino Bravo will be in the

corner of Valentine and Beefcake.

Intercontinental champion Macho Man

Randy Savage with the title of defense

against challenger Ricky the Dragon

Steamboat. By the way, Elizabeth in the

corner of the champion and George the

Animal Steel in the corner of Ricky

Steamboat. Former tag team champions,

the British Bulldogs, team up with the

sensational Tito Santana, to meet new

champions, the Heart Foundation, and

their new found partner, former referee

Danny Davis. This, by the way, will be

the first appearance of Mr. Davis as a

professional wrestler. Rowdy, Rody

Piper, in his farewell match, the final

match for Mr. Piper when he meets Adrien

Adonis. Now, Adrien Adonis has told me

privately that he is going to shave

Piper's head after he puts the sleeper

hold on him. How about this big main

event, the heavyweight champion of the

world, Hulk Hogan, from Venice Beach,

California, meeting his former friend,

now foe, Andre the Giant. By the way,

Bobby the Brain Heenan in the corner of

Andre the Giant. A possible surprise

guest will be in the corner of the

heavyweight champion. A special singer

to open this great extravaganza, the

first lady of soul, the great Hartha

Franklin, the official timekeeper from

Entertainment Tonight, the lovely Mary

Hart, and special guest ring announcer,

none other than former baseball great

Bob Uker. We asked some of the fans who

they liked in that match between Hulk

Hogan and Andre the Giant.

>> Andre the Giant.

>> Hulk Hov. Andre the Giant.

>> Andre going to win. Andre the Giant.

Hulk Hogan.

>> Hulk Hogan.

>> Andre.

>> We also asked some of the greats of the

World Wrestling Federation what they

thought about this title defense.

>> I've got to take the edge and give it to

our champion, Hulk Hogan. Andre is the

real giant. Hulk thinks he's such a big

shot. Well, nobody knows better than the

Hitman the anvil cuz we've been against

Andre the Giant in Wrestlemania 2 and he

is one bad dude.

>> Hulk, you're my buddy. I got to vote for

you. Anybody in the Hean family go

straight TO THE TOP.

>> I'M GOING WITH THE HUG BROTHER CUZ HE IS

NUMBER ONE.

>> I AM GOING to go with Hulk Hogan because

he's a friend of mine.

>> Wait a minute. How can you go with Hulk

Hogan? The man's been unbeaten for a

decade and a half, 15 years. Andre the

Giant. That's who I think.

>> Personally, I think it should be Butch

Reed versus HULK HOGAN. BUT HULK HOGAN,

I HOPE THE GIANT JUST CRASHES you like a

great boy.

>> It's Wrestlemania 3 at the Silverdome

GEORGIAN STEEL JUST DROVE THE SLICKSTER

[cheering] AND THE ANIMAL GOING RIGHT

OUT AFTER HIM. IT'S A FOOT RACE NOW.

GEORGE THE ANIMAL STEEL CHASING THE

SLICKSTER RIGHT BACK TOWARDS THE

DRESSING ROOM. THEY'RE GOING RIGHT OUT

OF SIGHT HERE.

>> WHERE THEY GO? Look at this. THEY'RE IN

THE DRESSING ROOM AREA RIGHT NOW.

>> GEORGE ANIMAL STEEL HUNTING FLY. I DON'T

BELIEVE HE can find him.

KOKO BEWARE IN THE BACKGROUND WATCHING

THE MONITOR WATCHING THIS MATCH UP.

>> Slick

>> Coco IS SHOWING.

>> I THINK COCO'S TRYING TO TELL THE ANIMAL

THAT HE belongs back out there

>> in the ring.

>> AND THIS IS WHAT THEY'RE SEEING.

>> Coco's getting back out that way right

now.

>> Too late. [cheering]

>> And Coco's COMING RIGHT ALONG WITH THEM.

>> THAT GUY. I DID IT TO HIM AGAIN.

>> A SLICKSTER OUTSMARTED HIM. I WENT

AROUND THE BACK. WAYNE GOT BACK IN

THERE, but the animal hasn't given up ON

HIM YET. [cheering]

>> OH, LOOK AT THAT KICK BY COCO.

>> WHAT IS HE DOING IN THERE? NOT HIS

MATCH.

>> IT WAS TWO AGAINST ONE. NOW IT'S TWO

AGAINST TWO. [cheering]

we're GOING TO GET HERE. [screaming]

>> THE REFEREE COMPETING TO BE COUNTED OUT

FREDDY.

>> Look at this.

>> Coco now taking George the animal still

literally under his weight.

>> Now that's what he wants. He just wants

sympathy like, "Oh, I'm a poor animal. I

can't help myself." He's not as dumb as

you think. Monsoon, he got count. He

took a hike cuz he knew he couldn't beat

Butch Reed. The natural.

>> Let's see if we can't get a decision.

[cheering]

>> The winner of this match by a countout.

>> Got it.

>> The natural Butch Reed.

>> Good call there.

>> Yeah. Terrific. I knew you guys would

love that. Another miscarriage of

justice here [cheering] as Georgiana MO

DID THE ONLY RIGHTFUL THING. TRY to get

rid of that [cheering] nuisance at

ringside. The slickster.

Maybe we're seeing some KIND OF A

STRANGE PAIRING up here between Coco

[cheering] and George the Animal Steel.

>> Well, they're strange. I'll agree with

that, man.

>> Oh, look at that.

>> OH, BIRDMAN.

HE'S GOING NOW. Maybe he can get the

animal going.

>> Can you imagine the mentality of those

two?

>> They make a good pair.

>> Would you and either of them do your

taxes?

Well, we've got some birds right there

at ringside that are doing it. And Coco

is about to get George the Animal Steel

to do it.

>> Well, THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF

DANCING. THE 29TH OF March went on AND

BY THE GIANT IS POUND, THE WORLD'S

CHAMPION IN FRONT OF 90,000 PEOPLE IN

PONTIAC STADIUM, MICHIGAN. Easier said

than done. Remember Brady Piper's

farewell match going up against Adrien

Adonis? Piper's a very, very proud man.

But don't forget, I also managed ABS at

one time.

>> Let's go back and take a look at some of

the action that went down earlier on

here as George the Animal Steel took

exception to this individual being at

ringside. And wow, what a shot by Coco

on the back of the Natural Butch Reed.

The WWF always has something interesting

news coming up. So, let's get to it.

record holders.

>> You know, you said something junkyard

dog I've got to ask you about. What in

the world are soup coolers?

>> That's the lips, man. That's the lips.

The brothers call them on the street

soup cooler because when you get to

running sometime that's all you got,

your head and your mouth, baby. And when

that winger, hey, don't come like a

cabbage. P Illinois is all head and no

red. You going to have to bring some to

get some. And then you got Jake the

Snake going against Kamali.

>> Oh, that's going to be a big match. But

what about this talk on Rowdy Rody

Piper? There's a lot of speculation

right now that he might retire from this

great sport when he's at the peak of his

career.

>> The man got the money, he got the fame,

he got the knowhow, but the only thing

he needs now is get his hand on Adrina.

>> Oh, Adrian. Adorable.

>> Yeah. If he had danced a dream all

night. Ah, slow dragging a phone booth

with race. That's how tight I want to

get with him.

>> Slow dragging.

long in a phone booth right here in PR,

Illinois. March the second. So don't

come with messing around because I know
