Hello one and all. I have found a new lease on BTB life. It's a project that came to me out of nowhere. Where could one start a BTB? What can be rebooked in the history of Professional Wrestling? One would say "The Invasion!", "ECW in WWE!", "TNA being bought out by Vince!", etc. and etc. The two companies I grew up watching as a kid were WWF & WCW. Back in 1995 I watched my first match on WCW Saturday Night and it involved Arn Anderson. My love for Professional Wrestling grew and grew by leaps and bounds during the next couple of years, as friends of mine cooked up fantasy tournaments, cards, and, we'd wrestle each other in the basement (all the while being careful), reanacting maneuvers (to a certain extent) and having the time of our lives!

Wrestling fascinated me so much that I started learning about everything that came before the year 1995, going back to as far back as I could starting with WrestleMania 1. Through the years I picked up on ECW, Japanese wrestling and everything else in between. I hope that those that will read this effort will see how much research was put into this to be as precise as possible and to respect the timeline as best as I can. Surely, this is fantasy, so, a few minor details might have been forgotten, no less.

This BTB starts on April 12th, 1990. We're off the heels of WWF's WrestleMania VI where in the Main Event, Intercontinental Champion the Ultimate Warrior ousted Hulk Hogan for the WWF Championship. Setting in a new era among WWF's top performers. In WCW, their latest PPV was WrestleWar, in which NWA/WCW World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair sucessfully defended his title against Number 1 Challenger and United States Champion Lex Luger. Luger's friend, Sting, who fend off an attack by his former teammates the 4 Horsemen, suffered a knee injury that is still keeping him from the ring as we speak, an injury that could be keeping him away from the ring for at least until the month of July.

This is the diaries of both company, day-by-day. News about both companies will be reported, events, tv shows and the likes will be detailed in full or shorter versions, and, most of all, history will be rewritten. Enjoy!

MONDAY, APRIL 23rd, 1990:
After much back and forth debating, the Midnight Express & Jim Cornette have agreed to the stipulations put forward by Tom Zenk & Brian Pillman for Capitol Combat. So on May 19th, when Z-Man & Flyin' Brian put the United States Tag Team Titles on the line against "Beautiful" Bobby & "Sweet" Stan, Jim Cornette will be perched some 15 feet up high in the air, in a shark cage, dangling above the ceiling, unable to interfere in any way, shape or form. Cornette & The Express have officialy stated that no matter how high and how far away from the ring Cornette is, it did not change the fact that Eaton & Lane are the premier duo in World Championship Wrestling and that Zenk & Pillman would get exposed for the fraud they are!​

MONDAY, APRIL 23rd, 1990:
The World Wrestling Federation was in Dallas, Texas this past Sunday, and, on the card, three matches were dubbed as being "King Of The Ring Qualifying Matches".

Bout 2 featured The Warlord toppling The Brooklyn Brawler and, Bout 3 had "Playboy" Buddy Rose pinning Tito Santana. No official brackets out as of yet, but, sources say an official brackets board should be available as early as this weekend on WWF Television.​

TUESDAY, APRIL 24th, 1990:
As of today, out of Titan Towers, the World Wrestling Federation comes to terms with The Bolsheviks; Nikolai Volkoff & Boris Zhukov. Volkoff had been on the very first WrestleMania and brought in Zhukov a little well 6 months ago into the Federation to help him in the tag team ranks.

Good to see King of the Ring qualifying matches, I'm a big fan of the King of the Ring tournament. Boooo Tito Santana lost to Buddy Rose. Tito was more of a JTTS during this time period but It would be nice to see him getting a push. I’m looking forward to seeing the brackets for The King of the Ring.

FRIDAY, APRIL 27th, 1990:

WCW POWER HOUR

1. Hosts Bob Caudle & Tony Schiavone welcome us to this week's broadcast, filled with great matches all around, and a 3 on 3 tag team elimination bout in the Main Event! As well as comments from many of the WCW Stars and the possible return of an icon in World Championship Wrestling.

2. Butch Reed w/ Teddy Long & Ron Simmons beat Rick Steiner (c) w/ Scott Steiner (c) in a "Lights Out" Match (11:07) when Long distracted the referee long enough for Simmons to interefere and hit Rick Steiner with Long's cane in the back of the neck, rendering him unconscious.

3. Backstage Interview with Kevin Sullivan's Army Of Darkness, conducted by Jim Ross. Ross asks Sullivan if his men are ready for the Road Warriors come Capitol Combat. Sullivan that not only are they ready physcially, but, that they've gotten into the heads of Hawk & Animal, and that not even Paul Ellering can be conducter of that runaway train any more. Ross shows footage from Saturday Night, where Hawk lost a Handicap Match against Bam Bam Bigelow & Sullvan, and then got beaten down by all three men, with Animal no where in sight. Later came the confrontation between both partners and the subsequent argument, with Ellering helpless.

Sullivan said to the Road Warriors that their time of dominance, and their legacy, of putting fear into their opponent's heads are over, because he's put together a team not only knows how to spell fear, but that thrives on it!

4. Tama w/ Fatu Vs. Eddie Gilbert ended in a Double DQ (4:00) when Fatu interfered and Billy Jack Haynes ran in to make the save and all hell broke loose. Everybody had to be pulled apart.

5. A video set to "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC showed Lex Luger training with his buddy and corner man at Capitol Combat Sting in his hometown Chicago, Illinois. Luger & Sting were then shown answering a few questions concerning Ric Flair, intertwined with shots of Luger lifiting all sorts of crazy weights.

6. Arn Anderson (c) w/ Ole Anderson beat Mark Fleming (3:20) with the DDT in a Non-Title Match.

7. Backstage Interview with The Road Warriors & Paul Ellering. Ellering tries to put the rumors to sleep that his men are at a crossroads. We can feel the tension between the two men but Ellering keeps putting the other over to keep everyone's spirit high. Caudle & Schiavone then mention that they've never seem either Hawk or Animal look so distant from one another.

8. Jim Ross conducts an interview with the Freebirds (Hayes & Garvin) and they take this time to introduce everyone to their new manager/road agent; Diamond Dallas Page. Page mentions that he's been touring the world with some of the most influential rock bands of all time, but now, the band that most needs his help to get back on track, are the Freebirds. They should, from now on, be called The Fabolous Rockin' Freebirds and they are challenging the winners of the Midnight Express & Z-Man/Flyin' Brian US Tag Title Match after Capitol Combat.

9. Nikita Koloff, Tom Zenk (c) & Brian Pillman (c) defeated Action Jackson, Tony Norris & Alex Porteau (13:26) in a 3 on 3 Tag Team Elimination Match. (1st Fall = Pillman eliminated Porteau with the Springboard Clothesline + 2nd Fall = Zenk & Pillman eliminated Jackson after a Stereo Dropkick + Koloff eliminated Norris after the Russian Sickle)​

FRIDAY, APRIL 27th, 1990:

1. Hosts Vince McMahon & Jesse Ventura welcome us to another edition of Superstars, hyping tomorrow night's "Tussle In Texas", Saturday Night's Main Event on NBC. On the show this week, comments from many of the participants of tomorrow night's big show!

2. Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake beat Honky Tonk Man w/ Jimmy Hart (12:22) with the Sleeper Hold. After the bout, Beefcake tried cutting Honky's hair, but Greg Valentine ran in to make the save and smashed a guitar across the back of Beefcake in the process!

3. Pre-Recorded Interview with Bobby "The Brain" Heenan & Haku, Heenan announce to the world that he brought Haku a crown, and tomorrow night, he brings him to the WWF Championship of the World!

4. Hercules beat Earthquake w/ Jimmy Hart via DQ (4:32) in a "Lumberjack" Match when Dino Bravo snuck inside of the ring and pearl harbored Hercules. This led to a brawl with everyone at ringside! With Earthquake then beating a lot of people down in a show of dominance!

5. Mean Gene Okerlund conducts an interview at ringside, next to the entrance, with "The Immortal" Hulk Hogan!

OKERLUND: "Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome, HULK! HOGAN!!"

*LOUD CHEERS*

*REAL AMERICAN*

Hogan gets to the stage and pats Mean Gene before he can start to ask his questions!

OKERLUND: "Hulk! Yes! *pause* I guess there's only thing left to ask... are you ready for the Tussle in Texas!!"

*CHEERS*

HOGAN: "Ohh Mean Gene, The Hulkster is always ready for a tussle brother! And the Hulkamaniacs are always ready as well! But you Mr. Perfect... you're not perfect... nobody's perfect! We all have our flaws, we all have our weaknesses, and tomorrow night, when you and I square in the middle of that ring, and when you think you have me against the ropes, you'll think you're one Perfect Plex away from putting the Hulkster away... But suddenly, you'll feel the cattles tremblind all around you... and that brother, that's the power of HULKAMANIA!!!!"

*Hogan tears away at his shirt!*
*CHEERS*

HOGAN: "SO WATCHA GONNA DO WHEN HULKAMANIA GOES TEXAS WILDDDD ON YOUUUUU!!!"

SATURDAY, APRIL 28th, 1990:​

WCW SATURDAY NIGHT
(Live from Atlanta, GA - Center Stage)

1. Hosts Jim Ross & Jim Cornette welcome us to another edition of WCW Saturday Night. Tonight, Saturday Night is going to be a full 2 hour program, with many champions, and, to top it all off, the WCW Matchmakers have announced a huge Main Event, the Steel Cage will be erected in the ring, two men will enter, and, one man, will never again, step foot in a WCW ring, it's a Loser Leaves Town Steel Cage between The Junkyard Dog and Teddy Long's Mean Mark Callous! Wow!

2. Mike Rotunda & The Rock 'N Roll Express beat Apolo Dantes, Barry Hardy & Brad Anderson (6:58) when Rotunda pinned Dantes after a Flying Lariat.

3. In ring interview with Tony Schiavone with World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair, Woman, World Television Champion Arn Anderson & Ole Anderson.

SCHIAVONE: "Ladies & Gentlemen, please welcome The Four Horsemen!!"

***ALSO SPRACH ZARATHRUSTA***

The Horsemen make their way down to the ring, The Champion dressed to the nines, Woman holding the World Heavyweight Championship belt on her shoulder, her free arm around the arm of Flair. Arn has his ring gear on, a Horsemen t-shirt, and the World TV Belt around his waist. And their flanked by the rugged Ole Anderson.

SCHIAVONE: "Gentlemen, if I may, I'd like to to speak with the World Heavyweight Champion first, Nature Boy, World Championship Wrestling is back in Atlanta tonight, heading towards Capitol Combat in Washington, DC, are you ready for the challenge of Lex Luger inside of the Steel Cage!"

Flair has a big grin on his face, through his aviator sunglasses.

FLAIR: "Tony!! It's so bright in here, I have to keep my sunglasses on! It's the brights lights of the city! All the beautiful women, none more stunning than Woman!! Ha ha! WOOOOOO! Capitol Combat is quickly approaching. People are talking and people are forgetting one thing! Lex Luger... The Nature Boy has already dealt with you on a number of occassions and never, and I do mean never, look it up! In the record books, you pal, have a losing record against the Nature Boy!"

As Flair continues his promo, a commotion at ringside is being felt via the reaction of the crowd.

SCHIAVONE: "Excuse me Nature Boy... I don't want to interrupt you but, Shane Douglas... Shane Douglas is making its way down to ringside..."

Young Shane Douglas receives a good reaction from the crowd, as he gets up on the apron and inside of the ring. He motions to the Horsemen he just wants to have a word with the Champion.

DOUGLAS: "I'm real sorry to crash in just like that, but Champ, I just needed a moment of your time... You see, you and I had a real battle a couple of weeks ago. And, I just want to tell you, that, if it's okay with you, I'd like to have another shot at you to prove to you just how tough I am and that I can hang with the best in World Championship Wrestling!!"

The crowd likes the idea and everyone in the Horsemen clan looks at each other with funny faces.

FLAIR: "Kid... do you even know who you're talking to!!! DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU'RE STANDING IN THE RING WITH!! Kids like you! I've beaten too many to remember! As you can see, tonight, the Nature Boy is sitting back and enjoying the show. But I know someone who'll be more than willing to take you on and break your limbs apart!"

Arn Anderson steps in the face of Douglas and Ross & Cornette tell us that after the commercial break, we'll get Anderson & Douglas in a Non-Title Bout!

4. Arn Anderson (c) w/ Ole Anderson beat Shane Douglas (12:20) with the DDT in a Non-Title Match.

5. After the bout, Flair & Ole Anderson came back down to ringside and jumped into the ring and proceeded to beat down on young Shane Douglas. Flair put on the Figure 4 Leglock on Douglas for a few seconds, until US Champ Lex Luger & Sting ran down to the ring to make the save!! Sting was on a crutch and used the object as a means to make the Horsemen back off!

6. Nikita Koloff beat Brad Armstrong (4:40) with the Russian Sickle.

7. Interview with the Fabulous Freebirds and their new Road Agent, Diamond Dallas Page. DDP told the fans that the Freebirds had been on the road during the whole week, selling out shows left and right, but there's still one show they can't seem to get on... Capitol Combat. Hayes told the fans and DDP that they need opponents for May 19th! Garvin started on a tirade about them being the hardest working men in all of Rock' N Roll and Wrestling and then out came... The Fantastics! Fulton & Rogers told the Freebirds that they have not left WCW, they still are quick on their feet, and that they would accept the challenge for Capitol Combat!

8. Lex Luger (c) beat Fatu w/ Tama (9:44) via DQ when The Horsemen came back down to ringside and beat down on Luger. The Samoan Swat Team joined in on the fun until Billy Jack Haynes & Eddie Gilbert, along with Sting & Shane Douglas ran down to make the save for Luger this time!! This brought out alot of WCW officials and even Jim Herd! A commercial break interrupted this second huge melee and, when the show came back on the air, Herd was interviewed by Ross & Cornette and Herd would have a ruling on this whole fiasco and he would let us know as soon as tomorrow morning via satellite on Worldwide Wrestling!

9. Bam Bam Bigelow & Cactus Jack w/ Kevin Sullivan Vs. The Steiner Bros. (c) (6:56) ended in a Double DQ when the Road Warriors ran down to attack the Army Of Darkness and, immediately after, Doom ran down to attack the Steiner Bros. leading to another out of control melee!

10. Brian Pillman (c) w/ Tom Zenk (c) beat Frank Monte (1:45) with a Springboard Leaping Clothesline!

11. Backstage interviews with Tony Schiavone, has he met earlier with both Mean Mark Callous and The Junkyard Dog. On Callous' side, Teddy Long told JYD that not only would he get embarrassed once again tonight, but that would walk back home to New Orleans with his tail tucked between his legs. JYD was rather emotional, has he mentioned that never before had he felt scared when Callous attacked him several weeks ago and nearly put him out of wrestling for good. He said that tonight would either a brand new day for the dog, or the end of a dog gone era.

12. Mean Mark Callous w/ Teddy Long beat The Junkyard Dog (5:28) in a Loser Leaves Town Steel Cage Match when Callous dropped a Top Rope Elbow Drop on JYD for the pinfall victory. JYD had fallen from the very top after Callous had hit the Dog's head against the steel fencing. The Junkyard Dog was literally carried out of World Championship Wrestling on a Stretcher.​
Editor's Note: No double show format for this post, as the next show is WWF's Saturday Night's Main Event and it is written in full. A template for match predictions should be up in the coming days, followed by the actual show it self. For now, enjoy WCW's attempt at countering WWF's big Saturday Night show with a Saturday Night broadcast of their own ;)

I just recently logged back on after some time away and found this...

I must say that I really enjoyed it. Sort of a walk back back down memory lane. I'm old enough to remember some of the old programs/feuds you've rehashed AND appreciate the subtle tweeks to history you've made. They are well done and you've really done a good job of recapturing the feel of the old shows. There weren't a lot of big-name matches on those shows and you've realistically captured how they used to book back then. The squash match format wasn't the most entertaining, but it did a good job establishing low mid-card and mid card guys and giving them some juice.

Programs were built by run-ins, promos and filmed segments. It actually built a good amount of anticipation for the actual match between two mid-card workers on the big card/PPV.

I think that's why your short recap style actually works in this diary. Full match write-ups really aren't necesarry for a squash matches and the like.

There are a few small things that I'm not sure about. Cage matches and loser-leave-town weren't normally shown on NWA tv; even on Saturday night. A lumberjack match on WWF tv would have been a pretty special event too.... That may be nit-picking.

Predictions.... (Bold indicates the winner)

SNM Event alwys started with the main event so:

HAKU VS ULTIMATE WARRIOR (WWF CHAMPIONSHIP) = 2 POINTS

MR. PERFECT VS HULK HOGAN = 3 POINTS
HART FOUNDATION VS ROCKERS = 2 POINTS (no turnbuckle break)
AKEEM VS BIG BOSSMAN = 1 POINT
EARTHQUAKE VS HILLBILLY JIM = 1 POINT

I predict Dynamite Kid will redebut and he and Davey Boy Smith will clean the Hart Foundation's clock after they get an ill-gotten win against the Rockers.

SATURDAY NIGHT'S MAIN EVENT: TUSSLE IN TEXAS
OFFICIAL PREVIEW

AKEEM VS BIG BOSSMAN
Akeem & The Big Bossman's bitter rivalry is going to continue in Texas, as they two men square off against in a battle of "huge" proportions. At WrestleMania VI, the Cobb County Corrections' Officer got the better of Akeem, his former Twin Tower's partner, but not without some effort. This time around, there will be no Ted DiBiase hidden under the ring and the Bossman is looking to end this chapter of his life once and for all, while Akeem looks for redemption, and looks for another big payday from the Million Dollar Man.

EARTHQUAKER VS HILLBILLY JIM
The Canadian Earthquake has been squashing people left and right. Hillybilly Jim has stepped up to the plate and, from all the men Earthquake has faced thus far, he has never faced a man that might have been as challenging as Hillbilly Jim. Will Jim's sheer size be too much for Earthquake, or will it be Earthquake's uncanny mass that stops the pig farmer from juggin' down to another victory?

HART FOUNDATION VS THE ROCKERS
The two top teams in contention for the World Tag Team Titles will do battle in Texas. Demolition will definitely be looking on, The Hart Foundation have really been vocal about being next in line, but a win by The Rockers and they could be propulsed right up there for a title shot. These two teams have been tearing it up for a few years now and there's no telling how this one will end up!

MR. PERFECT VS HULK HOGAN
For quite a few months now, Perfect & Hogan have been on the same collision course, and now more than ever, there is a certain sense of desperation in Perfect colliding with Hogan with both men on the hand of huge losses at WrestleMania VI. Perfect losing to Brutus Beefcake and thus, ending Perfect's perfect streak of victories. For Hogan, well, the WWF Championship he was so longer synonamous with was lost at the hands of the Ultimate Warrior. Both men have lots to prove and it won't be an easy win for either men.

WWF TITLE MATCH
HAKU VS THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR (C)

Bobby Heenan has had many of his proteges challenge for the World Wrestling Federation Championship over the years. Now more than ever, Heenan feels like Haku might be able to put down the WWF Champion, The Ultimate Warrior. But The Ultimate Warrior has been on an unstoppable rampage and it seems like not even Haku could be able to stop him from continuing on as WWF Champion.

Not to forget, a very special Piper's Pit featuring none other than Randy "Macho King" Savage.

Frank Erwin Center - Austin, TX
Live on NBC


-----------------------------------------

*OPENING VIDEO*
The WWF Logo appears on the screen, travelling through valleys and lakes, until it settles on a deserted land area where animated horses with cowboys & indians ride left and right. The screen slices open after an animated arrow splits through it.

We are taken inside of the Frank Erwin Center, as the cameras from a top pan around the crowd, the logo for "SNME" appears on the screen with the tagline "Tussle In Texas" underneath it.
The cameras switch to the actual entrance way, where we are greeted by Vince McMahon & Jesse "The Body" Ventura; both of whom are garbed in their finest texas/cowboy attire, Vince being way more over the top in his foolishness, atop horses, looking rather uncomfortable.


-McMAHON-
HELLO AGAIN EVERYONE AND WELCOME TO THE TUSSLE IN TEXAS!!! WELCOME TO SATURDAY NIGHT'S MAIN EVENT!!!

*LOUD CHEERS*

-McMAHON-
How you settlin' partner?!

-VENTURA-
Well McMahon!!! This isn't exactly how I envisioned my spending another Saturday Night's Main Event with you!! That's for sure!!!

-McMAHON-
Well Jesse!! Notwitstanding your discomfort, we've got one exceptional night of wrestling set to to take place!!! And we've got Mean Gene waiting in the back, and he's with Mr. Perfect!!!

*BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW*
Mean Gene Okerlund is standing by in the interview area (a make shift backstage locker room) alone for the moment.

-OKERLUND-
Wow! We can't just feel the excitement in the crowd here tonight in Texas! And I'm really happy to be back here, backstage, and not on those horses, geez, one more fall and they might have to send to early retirement. One man though, who's not ready for early retirement, is one Hulk Hogan, his opponent tonight is my guest at this time, Mr. Perfect!

Perfect walks in to frame, sporting a cocky grin on his face and chewing gum.

-OKERLUND-
Mr. Perfect, you're coming off the heels of you're first ever defeat at the hands of one Brutus Beefcake at WrestleMania and some folks are saying that you are maybe not that perfect after all!

-MR. PERFECT-
Woah, woah, woah there Okerlund! Let me just say to those misinformed individuals out there that my only loss on my perfect! record was due to some controversial fashion! And that the lack of managment on the part of the Genius didn't help either!

-OKERLUND-
Does that mean your association with the Genius is over?

-MR. PERFECT-
I didn't think you were that clever Okerlund. Yes, me and the Genius are done. But we came to terms on a amicable basis. Since my main goal is to become the WWF Champion, I can't be bothered by all the questions coming my way, and all the interviews people want to have with me. I need someone with knowledge on how to handle people like you. I need to concentrate myself on being the best wrestler there is in the World Wrestling Federation, and the man whom I've hired to take me to the top is none other than the only man smarter than the Genius, The Brain, Bobby Heenan!

Heenan steps into view, a huge grin on his face, and comes in to shake the hand of one of Mr. Perfect as he turns over to the camera next to Mean Gene.

-HEENAN-
Mr. Perfect, it's an honor for me to officialy welcome you, into the Heenan family. See, after the embarassment that was WrestleMania, I took off the biggest load of my life off of my shoulders, that big fool! Andre The Giant is no more! He wanted to play by his own rules, well, Giant, bye bye, you're gone, and all the money you could have made with me, I'll be giving to one Mr. Perfect! Now, tonight is the start of a brand new day for the Heenan Family, and it all starts with Mr. Perfect getting rid of another huge load off my shoulders, the biggest thorn in my side for years now, one Hulk Hogan...

-MR. PERFECT-
Hogan, you're golden years are behind you. You've been riding towards your sunset for a long time, you just hadn't met your match yet. Well, at WrestleMania, Hulkamania died. And the rest of what's left of your career is about to fade to black tonight. I'll be giving you the wrestling lesson of your life, put you in the Perfect Plex, and send you on your way back to Venice Beach for good! And do you know why? Because I'm Perfect!

Both Perfect and Heenan leave Mean Gene behind, exiting the room.

-OKERLUND-
I thank you gentlemen, I highly doubt that Hulk Hogan is on his last straw, but, ever since WrestleMania, Hogan has been the victim of a cowardly attack by one Earthquake, take a look.


*VIDEO PACKAGE*
The video shows Hogan being attacked after a bout against Dino Bravo on Wrestling Challenge 2 weeks ago by Earthquake. Hogan was ambushed after a win on Bravo, and he was the recipient of two Eartquakes!!!! Hillbilly Jim came to the aid of the Hulkster brandishing his lucky horseshoe at the end of a steel chain.

*BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW*
Sean Mooney is standing by in the interview area (a large blue decor with silver columns and the "SNME" logo is attached to the set behind Mooney).

-MOONEY-
That was quite the beating indeed, and, doctors later had to tape the ribs of Hulk Hogan, and we're told doctors have maybe advised the Hulkster to stay away from the ring tonight, but by the looks in the eyes of the man that's walking in here right now, nothing seems to be able to stop one Hulk Hogan!

Hogan walks into the set, breathing heavily, the eyes of the tiger in full apparence.

-HOGAN-
You know something Mooney! Ever since WrestleMania, all over the world, all over the globe, Hulkamaniacs and non-believers alike, everybody has been wondering if Hulkamania still lives? HULKAMANIA IS STILL GOING STRONG BROTHER!!! People now think that I'm vulnerable and everybody seems to be taking and wanting to take their shots at me, sensing a bit of weakness in my armor!! Well brother, this armor *ripping off at his shirt, showing the bandages Mooney was talking about* is still the strongest armor against any sorts of attack there is!!!

-MOONEY-
What about the attack suffered at the hands of Earthquake? You're still sporting those bandages?!

-HOGAN-
That's nothing but a little kink, in the old armor of the Hulkster brother! Earthquake is getting ready to feel the real natural forces of Hulkamania when I make him shake at the knees, and that I slam him down into oblivion dude, but tonight, Mr. Perfect, all that energy you've spent on trying to convince yourself your perfect, on trying to believe in the power of Hulkamania being diminished after WrestleMania, all that energy will come to waste, when you come to realize brother, that the power of Hulkamania has just gotten that much stronger!!! SO WHATCHA GONNA DO MR. PERFECT, WHEN HULKAMANIA RUNS WILD ON YOU!!!!!! *posing and flexing his muscles, breathing heavy through his intense stare*

-MOONEY-
It seems that indeed, Hulkamania is stronger than ever! Back to you Vince & Jesse!!


*ANNOUNCER'S DESK*
The cameras take us back inside of the arena to the announcer's desk, situated at the right of the entrance, on a high stage, overlooking the ring area, Vince McMahon and Jesse Ventura have their backs to the ring, looking at the camera.

-McMAHON-
Thank you Sean and Jesse, and it is clear to me that, The Hulkster is a force to be reckoned with still, even after is loss to the Ultimate Warrior at Wrestlemania.

-VENTURA-
How blind can you be McMahon? The Hulkster has got the look in his eyes of a man who knows he's not as good as he once was and tonight, like Mr. Perfect said, he's going to teach him a thing or two about wrestling.

***PERFECTION***

Mr. Perfect's music hits on the PA system, as a resounding chorus of boos echoes through the Frank Erwin Center. Bobby Heenan is first to step out from the back, a huge smirk on his face, sporting black slacks and a custom made black silk shirt with diamond encrusted pieces all over, and a "B H" at the upper left chest area. Perfect follows suits, an arrogant look of confidence on his face, chewing his gum and carrying with him his white towel, sporting a blue with red stripe singlet.

-FINK-
Ladies & Gentlemen! This next contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, accompanied by his manager, Bobby! The Brain! Hee-nan! From Minneapolis, Minnesota, weighing in a 254 lbs.! Miss-ter! Perrr-fect!
*BOOS*

Mr. Perfect & Heenan get in the ring, looking over at the crowd in amusement and disgust, as they await...

***REAL AMERICAN***

-McMAHON-
OHHH MY!!! THIS CROWD HAS COME OFF THEIR SADDLES!!!!

-VENTURA-
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'VE JUST SAID McMAHON!!! BUT IT SOUNDED AS DUMB AS ALWAYS!!!! I CAN'T HEAR MYSELF THINK!!!!

As soon as Hogan steps out through the black curtain, the crowd comes unglued even more than when they heard the music of the Hulkster! He strides down towards the ring, pointing his finger in each and every direction; to the fans, the ring, Perfect, Heenan and most importantly, to the man up high above.


-FINK-

Heenan is with Perfect on the outside as Hogan is restrained by referee Earl Hebner on the inside!



The bell officialy rings and we're under way with Perfect getting up on the apron and getting back in the ring, as Hogan paces left and right. Both men meet in the middle of the ring they lock up intensely. Hogan pushes Perfect off, bouncing him off the mat. Perfect rolls on himself and lands on his feet and goes into another lockup and once more, gets tossed off. Perfect goes at it once more only to rake the eyes of Hogan. Perfect then Snapmares Hogan down and drops a knee against the forehead of Hulk. Perfect gets Hulk into a Reverse Chin Lock and applies the pressure. Hogan gets to his knees, fighthing it! Up to one knee, Hogan starts to clobber away at Perfect's midsection but Perfect keeps the hold locked tight. Hogan gets to his feet and Perfect gets a cheap shot in the form of a fist to the head of Hogan. Perfect gets admonished but doesn't hear any of it. He gets Hogan into an irish whip but it's reversed!!! BACK BODY DROP!!! by Hogan on Perfect! Perfect gets up with the help of the ropes and Hogan charges in for a Clothesline! Perfect ducks under holding the ropes and Hogan goes overboard. Tumbling over the top rope to the apron to the floor below. Mr. Perfect goes out to Hogan and starts putting the boots to him. He gets him up and rams his head against the apron! He then rams his head against the top of the guardrail. Perfect gets away from Hogan a second and starts playing with the blue floor mats. Perfect tears at the floor mats and reveals the hard concrete floor!!! Perfect goes back to Hogan with a boot to the gut and then a chop to the chest.

-McMAHON-
What is Perfect planning on doing to Hogan?!!!

-VENTURA-
I don't know McMahon but it's about time someone took matters into their own hands and get rid of Hogan once and for all!!

Perfect gets Hogan in between his legs and tries to deliver a Piledriver!! He can't lift Hogan all the way upside down! Hogan gets balanced on his feet and he BACK DROPS PERFECT ON THE EXPOSED CONCRETE!!! Hogan falls to his knees to catch his breath. Perfect seems to be unconscious, holding his lower back, his eyes closed, trying to contend with the pain. Hogan gets back up and grabs Perfect and lifts him and throws him back into the ring. Hogan gets Perfect up and Irish Whips him into the corner. Perfect hits hard and feels the pain shoot through his back. Hogan rushes in but Perfect catches him with a Back Elbow to the jaw! Perfect then kicks Hogan in the midsection and hits the ropes. Hogan catches Perfect into a Powerslam into a cover!!! 1...2.NO!!! Perfect kicks out quickly and rolls away from Hogan. Hogan is up and catches Perfect with a series of right hands to the temple. Perfect is rocked and Hogan pushes Perfect in the ropes for an irish whip. Hogan connects with a Reverse Elbow and Perfect falls down hard! Hogan hits the ropes as Perfect gets back up and connects with a Big Lariat !!! And Perfect does a full 360 !!! Perfect is out and Hogan lends his ear to the audience to ask them if it's time for the big Legdrop! The crowd responds positively and Hogan hits the ropes... Heenan catches his foot!! Hogan turns around, as Heenan tries to flee the scene of the crime. Hogan steps out of the ring and starts going after Bobby Heenan!! They go all around the ring a few times, Heenan almost getting caught by Hogan, until they turn a corner, and Perfect is on the apron and flies off it, connecting with a Flying Clothesline on Hogan!!!

-VENTURA-
Wow! What a maneuver by Mr. Perfect!!! That'll teach Hogan to try and hurt innocent bystanders in the future!!!

Perfect takes a few seconds to get back up, with some help from the guardrail and Bobby Heenan. Perfect rolls himself back into the ring to break the count and rolls right back out. He starts by stomping on Hogan before getting him back up and ramming him, back first, against the guardrail. Hogan winces in pain and calls out for a greater power to give him the strenght he needs to battle through this adversity. Perfect rolls Hogan back into the ring and gets in himself by rolling under the bottom rope. With Hogan still down, Perfect stomps away at Hulk's midsection a few times before looking over at the crowd and posing cockily. The crowd reacts with vehement boos throughout the Frank Erwin Center. Perfect looks back at Hogan who's getting back up. Perfect hits Hogan with a clubbing forearm to the back but Hogan is still getting back up. Another one and Hogan seems to be in a trance. Not feeling the effects from Perfect's blows. Perfect hits the ropes for momentum with Hogan now up. Perfect misses wildly with right hand! Hogan ducks under it and hooks Perfect from behind... ATOMIC DROP!!! Perfect bounces off the knee of Hogan and the momentum of the hold sends him flying over the top rope to the outside!!

He takes Perfect and rams him head first against the apron! Perfect is turned around and he gets chopped by Hogan 3 times in a row before Perfect turns the tables around and kicks Hogan in the midsection and rakes his eyes for good measure.

-McMAHON-

Perfect throws Hogan back into the ring and gets up on the apron. Hogan is up also and Perfect punches Hulk in the midsection. Perfect goes for a Sunset Flip on Hogan!!

The crowd goes wild as Hogan signals for a big right hand!!! Perfect comes up from behind and goes for a clubbing blow but Hogan ducks out of the way and Perfect stops in the nick of time!!!! Both men breathe a sigh of relief. Perfect turns around and Hogan grabs him into an INVERTED ATOMIC DROP!!!! Perfect twists in the air and stumbles into Heenan on the apron!!! Heenan stumbles down on the apron and to the floor, as Perfect just stays up, thanks to the ropes, and turns around to a waiting Hogan!!! Hogan unloads with three big rights hands that rock Mr. Perfect senseless. Hogan irish whips Perfect into the ropes. Hogan goes for the Big Boot but Perfect ducks it. He continues his run off the ropes and leaps over an attempted Back Body Drop attempt and comes back off the ropes with a Beautiful Running Dropkick that takes the starch out of Hogan!!! The crowd is amazed at Perfect's willingness to bounce back from the jaws of defeat! With Hogan down Perfect capitalizes and drops Elbows & Knees to Hogan's upper body to try and soften him up. He then gets Hogan vertical and goes for an irish whip of his own. Hogan goes bouncing off the ropes and so does Perfect. He connects with a Clothesline but Hogan doesn't go down and doesn't even flinch! Hogan turns around and points his finger at Mr. Perfect who seems all the more angry at Hogan's will to fight and to stay alive.

-McMAHON-
WHERE DOES HE GET IT FROM!?!?! ALL THAT ENERGY! IT MUST COME, YES, FROM THE HULKAMANIACS ALL OVER THE WORLD!!!


Perfect looks at Heenan on the outside and attacks!! But Hogan blocks every punch and connects with one of his own!! Hogan Irish Whips Perfect into the ropes and knocks him down with a big Back Elbow. Perfect is back up and Hogan goes for a Body Slam!! Perfect hits the mat hard but gets back up! Hogan connects with 3 big punches before going for another Irish Whip. Perfect hits the ropes and falls flat on his face!!! Heenan jerked the leg of Mr. Perfect and dragged him out to the ring, sensing defeat was near. Heenan turns his back to the action and Hogan comes up from behind, reaching through the ropes, grabbing Heenan by the collar once more and dragging him into the ring with the good ol' slingshot maneuver!!!! Heenan is in for a bad time with Hogan!! Perfect is still down on the outside!!!! Hogan grabs Heenan who was cowarding himself down and pleading with Hogan not to hurt him. Hogan irish whips Heenan... BIG BOOT!!! Hogan hits the ropes, going for the Legdrop but!!! He gets his leg jerked by none other than RAVISHING RICK RUDE!!!!

The bell rings multiple times, announcing the end of this contest. Perfect gets back into the ring and both he and Rude stomp away on the Hulkster mercilessly.

-McMAHON-
SOMEBODY STOP THIS!!! The Hulkster is trying to fend off two men who are just targeting the injured ribs of a defenseless man!!!

-VENTURA-
HOGAN IS REALLY GETTING IT NOW!!! McMahon!! You know as well as I do that Hogan is not defenseless! He's got all his Hulkamaniacs to help me doesn't he?!

Rude gets Hogan up and holds his arms from behind as Perfect takes his shots. Both men then hook Hogan up... DOUBLE SUPLEX!! Rude & Perfect pose together, the crowd coming unglued with hate towards both men. Rude sets Hogan up, a myriad of WWF Officials trying to stop this beatdown. Rude hooks Hulk by the chin... looking for the Rude Awakening....


***ULTIMATE POWER***
***LOUD CHEERS***


-VENTURA-
What?!

-McMAHON-
IT'S THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR!!!!

The WWF Champion sprints down the aisle with mad speed, everybody clearing the way, especialy Rude & Perfect who immediately go out of the ring and regroup with Bobby Heenan! The Warrior continues his mad dash and pounces his chest in a warrior like way, overlooking Heenan's Family on the outside. Warrior eventualy helps Hogan back up, holding at his ribs.

-VENTURA-
WHAT IS THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR STICKING HIS NOSE INTO HOGAN'S BUSINESS FOR!??!

-McMAHON-
Well Jesse, if it hadn't been for the Ultimate Warrior, Hogan was in a bad bad way at the hands of Rude & Perfect and...

-VENTURA-
This doesn't make any sense McMahon!! The Ultimate Warrior is the same man that beat Hogan for the belt at WrestleMania and now! he's coming out here to help him!?!

-McMAHON-
That right there, that just proves the worth, what kind of a Champion the Ultimate Warrior really is Jesse. He knows that somewhere down the line, Hulk Hogan will be coming back for his shot, his rematch and, look at that, each men, raising each other's hands, the Warrior, leaving Hogan to receive the adulation from the crowd, sprinting down, back to the locker room area!!

WWF Officials help Hogan out of the ring, as we cut to some pre-recorded footage.


*VIDEO PACKAGE*
The video shows a bout that took place at Madison Square Garden between Earthquake & Leaping Lanny Poffo. Earthquake dominated this contest and ended the bout with a big Elbow Drop off the ropes. He then proceeded to squash Poffo with two consecutive Earthquake Splashes. Hillbilly Jim was calling the action at ringside with Lord Alfred Hayes & Gorilla Monsoon and he got very upset, as now, Poffo's career is in jeopardy. A later bout is showed with Earthquake facing Hacksaw Jim Duggan and again, after a win following the Elbow Drop off the ropes, Earthquake added insult to injury with 2 Earthquake Splashes, but, before he could hit a third one, Hillbilly Jim intervened and stop the beatdown on Hacksaw.

*BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW*
Sean Mooney is standing by with Jimmy Hart & Earthquake.

-MOONEY-
Jimmy Hart, your Earthquake has been squashing his way, literaly through the competiton here in the World Wrestling Federation and, no one had since stood up to your man as did Hillbilly Jim a few weeks back at Madison Square Garden.

-HART-
The key word Mooney is "no one". The Earthquake is unstoppable. No one can stop him!!! Poffo went down, Duggan has gone down twice, Hogan felt the wrath of the Earthquake and now, ha ha ha ha *hissing laugh* Hillbilly Jim?! wants to try his shot!! Boy, he'd have a better shot at winning a beauty contest than taking down the Earthquake!!!

-EARTHQUAKE-
*jumping left to right and breathing heavily* HILLBILLY JIM... GET READY... TO FEEL THE TREMORS... GET YOUR PIGS BACK INSIDE THEIR FARMS... TELL YOUR MOMMA GOODBYE... BECAUSE THE EARTHQUAKE IS ABOUT TO SQUASH YOUUUU!!!!!

-HART-
*hissing laughter* Ha ha ha ha!! C'mon baby!!!

Hart & Earthquake leave the area.

-MOONEY-
Let's take it back to the ring...


*RINGSIDE AREA*
Back at ringside, Hillbilly Jim is already getting into the ring.


***DON'T GO MESSIN' WITH A COUNTRY BOY***

-FINK-
Making his way into the ring at this time, from Bitters, Arkansas!!! HILL-BILLYYY!! JIMMM!!!!

*CHEERS*

Hillbilly Jim salutes the crowd with great emotion, carrying his trusted handkerchief with him and clapping and dancing all over the place, the happiest a man could be under the circumstances.

-McMAHON-
Yes! Hillbilly Jim, getting ready for action here tonight at Saturday Night's Main Event. As always, full of energy, full of life! Is Hillbilly Jim, a beloved Superstar here in the World Wrestling Federation...

-VENTURA-
But all that's about to change McMahon...


***TREMORS***

The building starts to shake, and the ominous symphony of immiment destruction plays on the speakers; Jimmy Hart steps out from the back through the black curtain with Earthquake in tow.

-McMAHON-
You can almost feel the ground shake, right from under us Jesse!

-VENTURA-
No one has been able to withstand the awesome presence and sheer strenght of the Earthquake! Even Hulk Hogan has been hit full force and there is no way that Hillbilly Jim can stand any more than all the others, toe to toe, blow for blow, with the Earthquake!!

Earthquake makes his way at ringside and goes up the steps, Jimmy Hart leading the way!


-FINK-
Being led towards by his manager, The Mouth of the South, Jimmy Hart!! *BOOS* Weighing at well over 450 lbs., EARTH! QUAKE!!!

*BOOS*


-VENTURA-
Did you hear that McMahon, "well over 450 lbs.", wow. Hillbilly Jim doesn't stand a chance!!

-McMAHON-
There's more to it Jesse than being big, Hillbilly Jim is not a small man, he's well near 7 feet tall!!

-VENTURA-
Don't forget what they say McMahon, the taller they are, the harder they fall!




Both men meet in the center of the ring, almost nose to nose, as Earthquake is a bit smaller than Hillbilly Jim. Jim unloads with a clobbering forearm but Earthquake swoops in under and locks in a Bearhug!!! Jim's blow doesn't go through and he feels the pain from the Earthquake! Earthquake pushes Jim into a corner backfirst!!! Earthquake unloads with some shoulder blocks in the midsection of Hillbilly Jim. Earthquake turns Jim around and delivers a few more shoulder blocks in the lower back this time. With Jim in the corner, Earthquake takes a head of steam and runs at Jim's exposed back... BUT JIM MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!!! Earthquake connects with the corners turnbuckles and the ring moves an inch! Earthquake staggers out of the corner and eats a big boot to the gut by Hillbilly Jim. Jim hits the ropes... SUNSET FLIP! WHAT A MANEUVER FOR SUCH A BIG MAN!!! Earthquake is fighthing it, and Jim is pulling as hard as he can.... SQUASH!!!! EARTHQUAKE JUST SAT ON JIM'S CHEST!! Hillbilly Jim was crushed under the massive weight of Earthquake. Earthquake gets back up and hits the ropes... BIG ELBOW DROP!!! Into a cover! 1..2...3!

*DING-DING-DING*
(1:58)
*BOOS*


-FINK-
Here is your winner.. EARTH-QUAKE!


-McMAHON-
Ohh my...

Earthquake is not done. Jimmy Hart is in the ring and he orders Earthquake to dish out more punishment. Earthquake hits the ropes... EARTHQUAKE SPLASH!!!! AND ANOTHER!!!! AND A THIRD ONE!!! Hillbilly Jim looks unconscious and he's holding his chest in an awkward fashion as a host of WWF officials and jobbers rush the ring to stop the madness!!!

-McMAHON-
SOMEBODY STOP HIM!!! C'MON!!! OHHH NO!!!!

Earthquake is somewhat, finally restrained. He leaves the ring on his own accord with Jimmy Hart in tow, as ecstatic as can be. Medics pass by the duo, carrying a stretcher out towards ringside.

-McMAHON-
We'll try and... regroup here, and, we'll be right back with more, Saturday Night's Main Event *coughing*


*COMMERCIAL BREAK*

*ANNOUNCER'S DESK*
As we return from the commercial break, Vince McMahon are Jesse "The Body" Ventura are overlooking the ringside area.

-McMAHON-
We are... trying to gather ourselves here... for the most part *looking over at Ventura* and, we'll try and let you know in the coming weeks, hopefully days, the condition of Hillbilly Jim. He took on Earthquake in a heated battle that he lost after two devastating maneuvers and, after the bout, was the recipient of three Earthquake Splashes, Hillbilly Jim looked unconscious for one and almost in a state of paralysis.

-VENTURA-
This just goes to prove one thing McMahon, that before you step into that ring, you better know that this is no game, and that these are highly paid professionals, the most dangerous sport in the world IS professional wrestling without a doubt.

*IN THE RING*

-FINK-
Ladies & Gentlemen, this next contest is scheduled for one fall with a 15 minute time limit!!

***HART ATTACK***
*CHEERS*


The cameras switch their focus to the entrance way, as the Hart Foundation bursts out from the back through the curtain with high energy and a definite purpose!

-McMAHON-
The Hart Foundation! Yes! Let's see what The Anvil & The Hitman had to say earlier Jesse!

*PRE-RECORDED INTERVIEW*

-HITMAN-
Rockers! You're about to step into the ring with the single most, well oiled machine in the tag team division of the World Wrestling Federation, the Hart Foundation!

-ANVIL-
You pretty boys think you'll overpower us? Out wrestle us? Out think us? NOT TONIGHT!!! HA HA HA !!!


*BACK AT RINGSIDE*

-FINK-
Making their way into the ring at this time, at a total combined weight, of 516 lbs., Jim, The Anvil, Neidhart, Bret, Hitman, Hart, The Hart! FOUN-DATION!!!


The Hart Foundation poses and greets their fans, as they await their opposition...

***ROCKING 'N' FLYING***
*CHEERS & SCREAMS*


The Rockers roll and hop down to the ring as they greet fans, clapping everyone's hands.

-McMAHON-
The Rockers had a few comments as well, let's see what they had to say!

*PRE-RECORDED INTERVIEW*

-MICHAELS-
The Hart Foundation thinks we're not as good as them.

-JANNETTY-
They think we're not a threat to them.

-MICHAELS-
Hart Foundation! You're about to get rocked!

-JANNETTY-
YEAH!


*BACK AT RINGSIDE*
Both teams are now in the ring, almost face to face with one another, awaiting the official's signal.



The two men to start this contest are Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart & Marty Jannetty. An obvious mismatch right off the bat, which is also apparent to both men, Neidhart grinning from ear to ear, while Jannetty feels the impending doom close by. Both men lock up in the middle of the ring and Neidhart pushes Jannetty off with ease! Both teams have great followings among the people in the crowd and the tension is apparent in the reactions throughout. Both men lock up again and Neidhart forces Jannetty into a corner this time. He unloads with a huge clubbing forearm but Jannetty ducks under and comes back around with an Arm Wringer. Jannetty brins Neidhart close to the Rockers' corner and tags in Michaels. Michaels comes in with a Top Rope Forearm Shot to the arm of the Anvil. Michaels locks in an Arm Wringer of his own. Michaels & Jannetty connect with that tandem offense 5 straight times before Jannetty locks in an Armbar with that arm and tries to bring the Anvil down to the mat.

-McMAHON-
The tag team specialists, the Rockers, doing what they do best!


Jannetty can't seem to take the big man down and instead, switches his armbar to a Standing Wristlock. Jannetty goes behind with the hold, trying to leverage Neidhart down. Neidhart just swings back and hits Jannetty with a big elbow to the side of the face. Jannetty staggers back into the ropes, clutching at his jaw. Neidhart keeps on and gets Jannetty away from the ropes, into a Chin Lock. Neidhart then unloads with a series of forearms to the chest area of Jannetty 4 times in a row. The Anvil gets Jannetty back up into an Irish Whip into the ropes. Knee Lift connects on Jannetty. Bret Hart is tagged in by Neidhart! Hart gets Jannetty into the corner and starts unloading with straight shots to the midsection, cutting the oxygen away from Jannetty. Hart takes Jannetty out of the corner, Back Suplex!

-VENTURA-
That's why they call Bret Hart "The Excellence of Execution" McMahon, he's a great tactician in that ring and you saw Bret just turn around slightly so when he kicked out, he sould send Michaels out of balance and straight into the corner.

*DING-DING-DING*
(15:00)

The crowd gets up on their feet and starts applauding wildly and with lots of noise both teams, as they still remain lying down on the mat, trying to shake the cobwebs loose.


-McMAHON-
We've just been witness, Jesse, to a tremendous back and forth battle between two great teams!!

-VENTURA-
What happens now McMahon?!! Who gets the shot at Demolition!?!

-McMAHON-
Well, I think, after such a great contest, well, both teams deserve a shot at Demolition!

-VENTURA-
No McMahon, you can only have one pick!!

Both teams shake hands, after being helped back up by referees and officials, in the middle of the ring, raising each other's hands in a sign of moral victory. The crowd still applauding this great effort.

*ANNOUNCER'S DESK*

-McMAHON-
Yes, what a great showing from all 4 men, and, it'll take efforts such as these for the many men who will participate in the first ever, televised live an on Pay-Per-View, to this year's King of the Ring!

*PROMOTIONAL VIDEO*

A very royal, regal even, music plays in the background, overlooking many clips of places around the world known for their royalty; Madrid, London, Egypt, etc.

"Over the annals of time... Men has fought for kingdoms... land... prized posessions... He's fought to conquer... to become known throughout the land... to be idolized... to be called King..."

We then switch to shots of the WWF wrestlers in action, from the likes of Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, Randy Savage, Jimmy Snuka, Rick Rude, Mr. Perfect and so on.

"On June 24th, the World Wrestling Federation will host the King of The Ring... An event of epic proportions... a 16-men tournament to crown the one and only true King of the World Wrestling Federation!"

MACHO MAN: "Ohhhh yeahhhhh!!!! The Macho King Randy Savage, yeahhh, 15 other men will try and take the crown away from me but only time will tell, yeahh, if, and only if, they'll be man enough to do so!!!"

We see clips of Savage in action, punching away and dropping a few Top Rope Elbow Drops on his opponents!

The video ends with the logo appearing on the screen, and the mention "LIVE! ON PAY-PER-VIEW JUNE 24th, 7PM E/T"


*ANNOUNCER'S DESK*

-McMAHON-
Wow! The King of the Ring, yes, this coming June, on Sunday, the 24th, and we'll be live from the Baltimore Arena in the heart of Maryland! And, tomorrow morning, on All-American Wrestling, our colleagues, Mean Gene Okerlund and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan will have the, yes, the official tournament brackets, straight out of Jack Tunney's office, and, I'm being told some very interesting matchups already scheduled Jesse!

-VENTURA-
Yeah?! Well, the only thing that matters to me is to see how the true King of the World Wrestling Federation, Randy "Macho King" Savage fairs in this tournament. I know how Tunney operates, and I wouldn't be surprised if the deck is thrown right at Savage!

-McMAHON-
Be that as it may, our colleague Sean Mooney is standing by The Slickster & Akeem!!

*BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW*
Sean Mooney is standing by backstage, in the interview area, with Slick & Akeem by his side.

-MOONEY-
Thank you Vince, with me at this time, with his manager Slick, "The African Dream", Akeem, set to take on his former partner in a rematch from WrestleMania, The Big Bossman!

-SLICK-
Mooney!! It seems to me, that just a couple of weeks ago, we were standing in the same spot, you asking us questions about the Bossman. WrestleMania didn't turn out like I taught it would, so, this is why tonight, me and my man! Akeem! we've come up with a new strategy to take care of the Bossman tonight!

-MOONEY-
Need I remind you gentlemen that, at WrestleMania, not only did Akeem lose fair and square in the middle of the ring, but he also had the help of "The Million Dollar Man" when he jumped the Big Bossman from behind before the bell could actually ring!

-AKEEM-
Listen, little man, the keyword in your statement is, "before the bell". Me and Slick, we didn't need the help of Mr. Million Dollar Man, the only thing that happened was me slipping off the ropes and Bossman was lucky enough to catch me off guard. But it ain't gonna happen tonight my brotha!

-SLICK-
BOSSMAN! TONIGHT! They are going to need to drag you on a cow, when the new sheriff in town is Akeem, The African Dream!!!


*BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW*
Mean Gene Okerlund is standing by in the locker room area with the Big Bossman.

-OKERLUND-
I'm going to bring in the man who, throughout his time here in the World Wrestling Federation, has been enforcing the law, some time ago, he was on the wrong side of it, but, the last couple of months, this man has been, a true hero of justice, and, even though justice was served at WrestleMania, Big Bossman, you still find yourself locked in battle with Akeem, your former partner, a man you use to trust, with, dare I say it, your life.

-BOSSMAN-
Gene! In Toronto, Akeem had DiBiase attack me from behind before the match started. Now he says that he's gonna make himself the new sheriff in town, well, Akeem, the only way to do that is to strip me down, cover me with oil, feathers, and walk me across town! WELL THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!! TONIGHT, THE BIG BOSSMAN SERVES COUNTRY STYLE JUSTICE AND AKEEM!! YOU'LL SPEND THE NIGHT IN JAIL WITH THE REST OF THE RASCALS, JACKALS AND WITH YOUR MAN SLICK, TIED TO YOUR ANKLE!!!!!!

-OKERLUND-
Vince, back to you!


*RINGSIDE AREA*
The cameras switch back to the arena.

***JIVE SOUL BRO***

The Slickster & Akeem are greeted to a round of boos from the Texan crowd, as they strut their way down to the ring.

-FINK-
This contest is scheduled for one fall. Making their way down the aisle, accompanied by his manager Slick! From Africa, "The African Dream"! A-KEEM!!!


Slick & Akeem get into the ring and strut some more, the Slickster even gets jiggy with it with some fashionable dance steps.

-VENTURA-
Wow! Look at the Slickster go McMahon! You could learn a thing or two you know, from watching Slick dance like that!

-McMAHON-
I don't know what you're talking about Jesse!


***HARD TIMES***
*CHEERS*


Next out is the Big Bossman and, yielding his nightstick, he runs towards the ring before Howard Finkel can announce him!

-McMAHON-
Look out!! Look out!! The Big Bossman is all business!!!




The Bossman rolls under the bottom rope and goes right at Akeem before the bell can even be rung by the time keeper! Bossman goes up to Akeem and unloads with rapid fire lefts and rights to the body of Akeem, making that tub of jelly flow like the mississippi river! He finishes the flurry with a Big Uppercut to the jaw! Akeem reels backwards into the ropes, the only thing stopping him from going down. Bossman with an irish whip, connects with a Big Boot to the face of Akeem! Once again, he falls into the ropes, completely out of it! Bossman runs at Akeem but Akeem ducks and launches Bossman over the top rope! Bossman flips and lands on the apron back first before crumbling to the floor in a heap! Akeem shakes the cobwebs loose, his manager, Slick, already sweating bullets mere seconds into this matchup! Akeem follows suit and goes to the outside, connecting with a forearm blow to the back of the Bossman! He then rams the head of the Bossman against the ring apron before throwing him back in.

-VENTURA-
Now that the playing field has been leveled, let's see what the Bossman can do!!!


Akeem gets a hold of the Bossman, getting him vertical. He goes with him towards a corner and turns him around so his back his facing him. Akeem starts throwing some forearms to the small of the Bossman's back, repeatedly and with brute force. Akeem moves away from the corner and runs towards the Bossman. The Bossman turns around but, not in time, as he receives a big Back Elbow in the jaw, squashing him in the corner. Bossman staggers out and falls to his knees and face first against the mat. Akeem hits the ropes and drops a big Legdrop against the back of the head of the Bossman! Akeem goes for a cover and The Bossman kicks out at 2. Before the Bossman can get back up to his feet, Akeem hooks a weak looking Front Facelock. Bossman is able to muster enough energy to maneuver is way back up to his feet and then pushes himself forward, sending Akeem crashing into the turnbuckles. Bossman connects with shoulders to the gut before he gets hammered by Akeem with a big Axe Handle to the back! Bossman moves away from Akeem and Akeem charges at the Bossman... BOSSMAN SLAM!!! OUT OF NOWHERE!!! Bossman covers Akeem! 1....2....NO!!!! SLICK JUST JUMPED INSIDE OF THE RING AND SMACKED HIS CANE ACROSS THE BACK OF THE BIG BOSSMAN!!!

*DING-DING-DING*
(3:18)

-McMAHON-
The Big Bossman has been clobbered by Slick!!! But I don't think the Slickster should be so happy Jesse!!

The Big Bossman gets back up, and goes straight at the Slickster! There's a wild goose chase as Slick tries as best he can to evade the Bossman, as they run around the ring!! Suddenly, out from the under the ring, 2 individuals hide themselves from the Slickster and the Bossman! Slick runs past them and the duo strike down the Bossman with a Double Clothesline!!! It's the Million Dollar Man!! And his bodyguard Virgil!!!

-McMAHON-
WHERE DID THEY COME FROM!?!

-VENTURA-
Hey! The Million Dollar Man's smart!! At WrestleMania, he attacked the Bossman before the match, and the Bossman beat Akeem!! Now he figured the best way to put him out, was to attack him after the match!!!!

-McMAHON-
This is not right Jesse! It's 4 against 1! And now, they are bringing the Bossman back into the ring, Akeem is back up, and Slick is just directing traffic!!

DiBiase and Virgil put the boots to the Bossman, as they hold him from limb to limb. Akeem hits the ropes... AFRICAN SPLASH!!! DiBiase & Virgil roll the Bossman over to his back and Akeem hits the ropes once more.... AFRICAN SPLASH!! Slick consults DiBiase and both men seem to agree on something dubious. DiBiase and Virgil bring the Bossman closer to one of the corners. Akeem is being directed by Slick, as he climbs up the second top turnbuckle...


***SNAKE BITE***
*LOUD CHEERS*


Before the music can even be heard throughout the arena, Jake "The Snake" Roberts rushes down to the ring, Damien in hand!!!

-VENTURA-
HE'S GOT NO BUSINESS BEING OUT HERE!!!

-McMAHON-
He's got every right being out here!!! He's evening the odds!!! Now it's 4 against 3!!! With Damien!!!

Jake throws the snake into the ring and everyone scurries out!!! But Akeem is perched on the turnbuckles and he's slow to react!!!! Jake incites the crowd and the roof is about to come off of the Frank Erwin Center!!! Jake grabs his snake and runs at Akeem with it!!!! Akeem tumbles over, on the apron and out on the floor in the waiting arms of the Slickster and Virgil!!!!

-McMAHON-
Who knows Jesse! Who knows what would have happened to the Big Bossman if Jake Roberts hadn't come down to the ring, Akeem was about to drop all of his weight on the Big Bossman, as we, take a look at the first two African Splash from Akeem... ohhhhhh!

-VENTURA-
That's what's gonna happen to the Snake and the Bossman if they find themselves face to face with the Million Dollar Man and Akeem!!! THEY'LL GET SQUASHED!!!

-McMAHON-
Speaking of which, a newcomer to the World Wrestling Federation is looking to squash through competition, take a look Jesse!


*PROMOTIONAL VIDEO*

A panoramic view overlooks a rising sun in the deep plains and deserts of Texas. The heat is so apparent that even the sceen is blurred. The shot fades to a closer view of the desert plain, where the carcass of a small rabbit is being devoured, from a far, by a jackal. The shot fades to a close up view, sideways, of a white horse, slowly being ridden by a well built individual, rugged looking man. A big wad of spit flies across the shot and lands on a small and dried up plant. The tobacco spit kills what remained of the life of that poor plant.

-?-
My old man wrote me a letter from prison once... It said... If you don't want to end up in here... stay away from crime.... women... and drugs... Trouble is... that don't leave you much else to do, does it?

We now see the face of the man who's been talking to us... STAN "THE LARIAT" HANSEN!

Screen fades to black
***SUNRISE***

A japenese induced country anthem starts to play, as footage from Hansen in Japan is shown. Mostly, we see Hansen terrorizing the crowd as he makes his way down to the ring, sporting a cow bell attached to a big rope, Hansen knocking people left and right with his famous Lariat (Impactful Clothesline), and many other great moments in his career thus far with legends such as Andre The Giant and The British Bulldogs, which are more famous in the United States.

The video closes with a logo appearing on screen, telling us that Stan "The Lariat" Hansen is coming soon to the WWF!


*IN THE RING*
Howard Finkel is standing by with an announcement to make.

-FINK-
This next contest is scheduled for one fall with a 20 minute time limit... and it is for... the WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHP!!

***TONGA FEVER***
*BOOS*


Haku is lead towards the ring by Bobby Heenan, who seems neither confident nor worried about tonight's big opportunity.

-McMAHON-
Well Jesse, how do you think Heenan feels, what's his mindset I should say, as, he's heading into yet another title opportunity, and, we know he's had a few throughout but his men have always fallen short!

-VENTURA-
Well, it's not Heenan who's be in there all those times competing for the WWF Title McMahon. You even said it yourself, it's the men that Heenan as managed over the years! But Heenan has got one thing going for him, and I'm sure the Warrior as that still in the back of his mind... Heenan has already cost the Ultimate Warrior a belt before, and, Haku is no slouch. Haku has got those great martial arts kicks, and, he can take punishment like no other, so if there was a night that Heenan could make it big, it would be tonight with Haku.

-McMAHON-
And I guess you're talking about when "Ravishing" Rick Rude defeated the Ultimate Warrior for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania V!

Haku & Heenan are now in the ring.


-FINK-
Ladies & Gentlemen, the challenger! Currently in the ring, with his manager, Bobby! The Brain! HEE-NAN!


*BOOS*

-FINK-
From the isle of Samoa, weighing at 272 lbs., HAAAAA-KU!


*BOOS*

A sudden hush falls into the crowd at the Frank Erwin Center...


***WARRIOR'S WAY***
*LOUD CHEERS*


The crowd comes unglued!!!! The Warrior sprints down towards the ring, sporting a mix of blue colors with white boots with fringe and war paint of the same palet.

-FINK-
MAKING HIS WAY DOWN TOWARDS THE RING!!! FROM PARTS UNKNOWN!!!! THE WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION CHAMPION!!!! THE! ULLLL-TIMATE!!!! WARRR-RIORRRR!!!!


The Warrior makes his way to the apron, doing his war dance routine, running around, shaking the ropes, and throwing his opponent off his game. Haku & Heenan find refuge outside as the Warrior makes his way into the ring!

-McMAHON-
Probably the most, flamboyant, and yet, most awesome WWF Champion in history... take a look.... THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR!! Yes!!!

The Ultimate Warrior settles in as does Haku, who gets back into the ring to begin this Championship contest.




The crowd is electric as the Ultimate Warrior starts shaking from the inside, the electricity jolting through his body. He then starts pounding his chest and wailing his arm up and down in a powerful motion. Both men start to walk towards each other slowly before they meet in the center of the ring and Haku attacks first with a kick to the gut. No reaction from the Warrior. Haku strikes with a palm thrust to the throat and that affects the Warrior. Haku goes behind and starts throwing palm thrusts to the back of the Warrior. Warrior seems to get back into it only for Haku to connect with another thrust to the throat. Haku hooks the Ultimate Warrior and drops him down with a nice Back Suplex. Haku gets back up and starts stomping away on the Warrior. He hits the ropes and drops and Elbow across the body of the Warrior. Haku goes for a quick cover but only gets 1 count. Haku gets the Warrior into a Reverse Chin Lock. The crowd starts getting behind the Warrior, making as much noise as possible! Warrior is able to get back up but Haku is quick to stop the Warrior dead in his tracks with a Karate Chop to the neck.

-McMAHON-
Haku seems to be in control at the moment Jesse.

-VENTURA-
Haku is a very dangerous competitor McMahon, he's got a real dangerous arsenal and he seems like he's got the Warrior right where he wants him.


Haku goes for an Irish Whip into the corner but it gets reversed. Warrior comes in charging but Haku catches him with a Savate Kick and Warrior goes down once more! This time in a heap. Haku gets a hold of the Warrior's hair and gets him back up. Haku takes the left arm of the Warrior and kicks away at the open rib region with three consecutive shots. Haku then connects with another Karate Chop to the neck. Haku with Warrior up, drops him down with great Rib Breaker, really dropping Warrior's back right onto his knee. Warrior is in position and Haku goes out onto the apron, and ascends the turnbuckles. The Ultimate Warrior is getting back up but Haku is still going to the very top. Warrior is back up and Haku flies through the air.... WARRIOR CATCHES HAKU IN MID FLIGHT!!! Warrior uses all of his strenght and lifts Haku into the GORILLA PRESS SLAM!!! HAKU IS DROPPED DOWN HARD!!! Warrior pumps himself up... he hits the ropes... WARRIOR SPLASH! Right onto the exposed back of Haku!

-McMAHON-
And the Warrior is going to retain the WWF Championship!


Warrior presses against the chest of Haku as he turns him over, the referee makes the 3 count, and indeed, the Ultimate Warrior retains his title!

*DING-DING-DING*
(4:46)


Not a second has ellapsed since the Warrior has defeated Haku that a trio of wrestlers storm the ring to attack the Warrior; Heenan's Barbarian, Rick Rude & Mr. Perfect!! All three men gang up on the Ultimate Warrior and are able to to put him down. Haku joins the fray after shaking the cobwebs loose.

-McMAHON-
What is going on Jesse!?! It looks as if Bobby Heenan had planned this all along!!!

-VENTURA-
I don't know McMahon, but if Heenan's men continue this pounding on the Warrior, this could be the last we see of the Ultimate Warrior!!

Rude delivers the Rude Awakening on the Ultimate Warrior!!! Haku goes up top and drops a big splash on the Warrior!!! He's followed by the Barbarian who hits a Diving Headbutt on the Champion!!! The Ultimate Warrior has been decimated!!! But it looks like they're not done!! Mr. Perfect brings in the WWF Championship belt, as Haku & Barbarian hold the Warrior. Both Rude & Perfect badmouth the Warrior. Perfect takes a step back and looks around at the angry crowd, motioning he's going to clock the Warrior with his own belt. Perfect takes a head of steem...


***REAL AMERICAN***
*LOUD CHEERS*


-VENTURA-
WHAT'S HE DOING OUT HERE!!!!

The Hulkster rushes down to the ring but before he can make it, Perfect goes ahead and whacks the Warrior with the Championship Belt, knocking him out!!! Hogan reaches the ring, steel chair in hand, gets in and everyone flees, but he was a little bit too late!

-McMAHON-
It would appear that, Hulk Hogan's intentions were good, but, that the damage has already been done!

The Heenan Family leave the ring more than happy, as referees, officials, and Hulk Hogan attend to the Ultimate Warrior. Hogan takes charge and tries to get the Warrior back on his feet but his first attempt fails.

-VENTURA-
They can't even get the Warrior back up McMahon!

Hogan gives it another go, and, succeeds in bringing the Warrior back up... But the Warrior has a sudden jolt of energy coursing through his body, and he swipes away at everyone in sight, pushing the Hulkster away. The Warrior had scared everyone off. He stands in the middle of the ring and Hogan looks confused, asking the Warrior why he just pushed him?

-McMAHON-
Are we gonna see, is this going to be, yes, WrestleMania all over again?!

The referees and officials stand back, as there's a far away stand off between Hogan and Warrior. Both men, overlooking into the crowd, looking at the little Warriors and the Hulkamaniacs alike. The Warrior starts to breathe heavily, and pounds his chest a few times before beginning to run. He runs off the ropes past Hogan and exits the ring, running all the way back to the locker room area!

-VENTURA-
What's going on McMahon?! Can't the Warrior even thank Hogan! Why didn't they do something instead of looking all over the place! Is the Warrior scared of Hogan McMahon?!?!

-McMAHON-
I think you're looking at this the wrong Jesse! Both these men, I'm sure, have respect for each other, it was a heartfelt sign of mutual respect shown at WrestleMania when Hulk Hogan exited the ring and, gave way for the Ultimate Warrior to celebrate, a passing of the torch, but, Hulk Hogan & The Ultimate Warrior will surely meet in the middle of that ring one more time before their careers are over!


*BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW*
Sean Mooney is standing by with The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase, Virgil, Akeem & Slick!

-MOONEY-
I'm being joined at this time by the four men that tried to put the Big Bossman out of comission, on the shelf, to basically end his career, but that were...

-DIBIASE-
LISTEN, Little man. No matter which way you try and twist this, here are the two things that happened tonight! First, the Big Bossman was given a beatdown he soon won't forget, and second, someone by the name of Jake Roberts, just signed his death warrant when he interfered in our business!

-MOONEY-
This whole feud has escalated over the past couple of months, do you see it coming to an end at some point?

There's only one thing that's sure in life. Everybody's got a price for the Million Dollar Man, and that's why The Slickster and Akeem are getting paid a handsome amount of money to take care of the Big Bossman for me. But sometimes, even I need to get my hands dirty, and that means, Bossman, Roberts, that whenever you're all alone, at any minute, know that the Million Dollar Man can strike. You might carry around a nighstick, a big snake, but you don't carry around the weight that the Million Dollar Man does, my hand reaches out to many around the World Wrestling Federation so be careful what you wish for. So, while you lick your wounds, thinking of how come back from such a beating Bossman, know one thing, the influence of the MIllion Dollar Man continues to grow, and no law enforcment agent will ever be able to stop the kind of justice that I love to hand out, and that's big bags full of green for the ones that get their hands dirty!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!

-MOONEY-
The Million Dollar Man has surely dished out a big blow to the Big Bossman here tonight, but, are the sides now even, now that Jake "The Snake" Roberts has shown is allegiance to law and order, rather and money and greed...


*IN THE RING*
Howard Finkel is standing by...

-FINK-
Ladies & Gentlemen, it is now time for.... PIPER'S! PIT!

*CHEERS*

***BAGPIPES FROM SCOTLAND***
*CHEERS*


-McMAHON-
Ohhh, this sound, that music can mean only one thing!!

-VENTURA-
Another one of Piper's ego trip!!!

-McMAHON-
No Jesse, it's time for Piper's Pit! And here he comes!! The Hot Rod!! Yes!

Roddy Piper steps out from the back, his trademark "Hot Rod" white t-shirt with the red collar, the trademark kilt, and all of the energy that Piper has coursing through his body. Piper has that crazed look in his eyes the fans have come to love and appreciate, respecting this living legend, this icon of the sport. Piper makes his way inside of the ring, where a few kilted stools and a carpet of the same design have been arranged for the occasion. The Fink hands Piper a mic and there's a sudden hush amongst the crowd, as they await with bathed breath to hear what Piper has to say!


-PIPER-
TEXAS!!!! HOW DO YOU DO!?!

*CHEERS*

-PIPER-
I'M FINE MYSELF!!!! *Piper has a huge smile on his face* You see, when they asked me, to be a part of Saturday Night's Main Event, I said, give me Bad News Brown!!! But they said... NO! We want you to host Piper's Pit! I said NO! And they said, well, if you don't do it, we won't give you Bad News any way! So I said okay... who's going to be my guest! And they said, well, we don't know just yet... we were thinking about... STOP!!! If you're not going to give me what I really want... maybe I could get the next best thing... maybe, I could get the man that's sent the American Dream packing... or so he says. I've been through the trenches, and I know too well when a man is your enemy, he doesn't run away, he fights for his life, and the American Dream is a man!!! Not like, my guest tonight. But, maybe it's not as important to him to know that I don't want, that he was not my first choice, but...


***POMP & CIRCUMSTANCE***
*BOOS*


The Macho King, Randy Savage, along with his Queen, Sensational Sherri, are greeted by a warmthness of boos and jeers. They get escorted by a myriad of jobbers, atop their golden throne, overlooking all the so-called peasants of the World Wrestling Federation; its fans.

-VENTURA-
Doesn't he always look regal McMahon. Huh? The Macho King in all his glory!!!

-McMAHON-
Well, we all know, and, well, we sort of were incredulous but, it is indeed true, by some legal loophole in regards to the events that took place at WrestleMania, Randy Savage has filed a formal lawsuit against The American Dream and he's gone from the WWF for what we're being told maybe forever!

-VENTURA-
Well what did you expect, were you even in Toronto? I mean, there was some very questionable tactics and actions on the part of the American Dream, numerous times, Sensational Sherri was the victim of abuse in what was supposed to be a mixed tag team match, where, the men against the men and the women against the women...

-McMAHON-
I was there Jesse, and all I saw was the American Dream fending off the attacks of Sherri herself!

-VENTURA-
Well, what did you expect, Sherri wasn't going to let herself be intimadated!!! He should have known to be the bigger man and not retaliate!!! He had at least 300 lbs. on poor Sherri!!!

Savage & Sherri are finally at ringside, as their throne is being perched on the guardrail and the ring apron. Savage & Sherri get into the ring, taunting the fans and soaking in the hatred/adulation. Sherri has a real disdain for Piper, and it shows. They get settled in and Piper gets the conversation going.


-PIPER-
So... I was almost getting ready to introduce you, but, I guess that royalty doesn't wait around for no man... But in your case, that's a title you might have to surrender soon...

-SAVAGE-
Piper... Piper, y'see... The Macho King, yeah, is going to keep his crown around his head, keep his scepter around his hand, and keep his Queen around his waist, ohhhhhhhh yyyye-aahhhh!!!

-PIPER-
You do realize that, in one night, you'll need to get through 15 other men, that means, if my math is right, you'll need to wrestle 4 times!

-SAVAGE-
Piper, you're looking at the men who did just that and became World Wrestling Federation Champion, yeahh! While you, on the same night, hosted a Piper's Pit that everyone's forgotten about!

-PIPER-
Mmmhh, before I forget, and it's funny you bring that up, but, here's one man who you've maybe forgotten, but, who's gonna be entered in the tournament and that will surely be a direct threat to your crown!!!!!


***SIRIUS***
**LOUD CHEERS**


The Macho Man jumps back and starts pacing back and forth, trying to get some answers out of Piper.

-PIPER-
RICKY!!!! THE DRAGON!!!! STEAMMMMBOATTTTT!!!

*THE CROWD IS IN A FRENZY*

Savage looks over at the entrance.

-McMAHON-
Can it be?!

Out from the back steps the Dragon!!

-McMAHON-
IT IS!!!

Savage snaps his glasses off of his face and throws them away. Sherri tries to calm her King down but there's nothing to do!!! The Dragon jogs down to the ring, greeting the many fans at ringside!!! The Dragon gets to the ringside area and gets inside of the ring!

-VENTURA-
The Dragon is back!!

-McMAHON-
He's back and there's no telling what that means for the Macho King, Randy Savage!!!

Piper has exited the ring. Sherri has been pushed to the side. The only two men that stand tall, face to face, are the Dragon, Ricky Steamboat, and the Macho King, Randy Savage. More than 3 years in the making. Steamboat & Savage. Will they collide at the King of the Ring?
