Passes the crowd awaiting the second title matchup of the evening, the Intercontinental Champion, the Macho Man, to meet George the Animal's deal.
And I can't wait for this next chapter to unfold in the strange saga between the Macho Man and the Animal.
Vince, you're right. It is a strange saga. Beginning a year ago in Tampa when George first met Elizabeth, it was love at first sight.
This Beauty and the Beast story continued until finally, the Macho Man had been pushed too far.
Joining me right now is the Intercontinental Champion of the world, Macho Man, Randy Savage, and his lovely manager, Elizabeth.
Elizabeth, you've heard the news. A big surprise coming from George the Animal's deal. Elizabeth, do you think it's going to involve you?
Well, anything that affects Randy affects me.
You know you don't want to shut up, do you? I'm the champion and nobody cares about you.
George the Animal's deal apparently does.
Don't be contradicting me, you half-pranked jughead.
Elizabeth, get moving! I should slap your face and put you against the wall.
Well, Vince, I get the impression that the Macho Man is very much on edge tonight.
It could be that George the Animal's deal and his surprise might indeed have something to do with that. Let's go back to you.
All right, thank you, Gene, for making his way through this capacity crowd.
The reigning Intercontinental Champion, the Macho Man.
And look, leading the Macho Man into the ring, the lovely Elizabeth. She is gorgeous.
McMahon, that's all you ever do is look at her. Look at the champion for once.
Look at the champion? The Animal's going to be looking at the champion and he's going to be bringing with him, I wonder what.
Well, I'll tell you what, he's talking about this surprise. Who really cares? This guy's an ignorant fool, the Animal's deal.
Maybe he's bringing one of his relatives, an orangutan or something, one of his first cousins.
There's no telling what he's going to give. The Macho Man, as far as a surprise is concerned, he's quite capable of doing anything, as you well know.
Maybe we can find out a little bit more about the Animal's surprise standing by right now. Mean Gene Oberlin.
All right, thank you, Vince. George the Animal's deal. You've got everybody wondering what your big surprise is tonight.
Surprise.
Does your surprise, by the way, concern the lovely Elizabeth?
Elizabeth.
Yes, that's what I'm talking about, the surprise. The surprise is for Elizabeth.
See.
See what?
See.
Surprise.
I see. Thank you, George. Thank you. I'm sorry, Vince, we're none the wiser here. We're just going to have to wait and see.
George the Animal's deal, making his way to the ring, hoping to become the Intercontinental Champion. And with him, wait a minute, what's he, what's that in his hand?
That's the surprise. He's carrying a little doll to the ring. That's the Animal Steal's big surprise, McMahon.
I think it's a doll of himself, isn't it?
George the Animal's deal, on his way to the ring, with a doll, I believe, of himself, goes underneath the bottom rope now, up and...
Look out, what's going to happen, Elacho Man hides behind Elizabeth. Oh, look, is that... He wants to give himself to Elizabeth.
Isn't that cute, McMahon? He gives Elizabeth a doll. That's the big surprise, huh?
I don't know that that was a surprise or not. The Macho Man yanks the doll out of Elizabeth's hand,
punch a finger at the Animal, and look at that.
Oh, but from behind, the Animal, attacking the Macho Man. This man's capable of anything in the world. George the Animal's deal, all over the Macho Man.
Well, I'll tell you something, McMahon, if anybody should be suspended wrestling, it's this guy right here, Animal Steal.
The Animal, the most unorthodox wrestler in the World Wrestling Federation has scooped up the Macho Man, slams him down to the canvas.
I can't believe the referee allowed the match to start like that.
Well, you have to allow a lot of latitude when the Animal's in there, no question of that.
No, you don't. You don't make allowances for anybody, McMahon. You stay within the rules or you don't wrestle.
You were the one early on making reference to his heritage. You have to make allowances.
Now, what's he yelling for? What is this now? What's going on here?
He's waving for someone to... I don't know. I thought he was waving for someone.
Oh, my! From behind, the Macho Man, attacking the Animal.
You cannot turn your back on Randy Savage. A bad move on the part of George Steal.
That's why, in my opinion, the Animal Steal will never beat the Macho Man. He don't have the brainpower for it.
Snap off the rope. Down to the canvas, the Macho Man continues his attack on George the Animal Steal.
Scoops him up now. That's 300 pounds.
Slams him down to the canvas. The Macho Man. This could be it. Going up, going up to the top rope.
He's going for the elbow. He's going for the elbow.
Wait a minute. What's that? What's that music?
The crowd coming alive. And look at this.
Going his way down to the ring.
This is totally premeditated, McMahon. You're telling me some moron upstairs just happened to turn this music on.
The Dragon, Ricky Steamboat. And the Animal takes over.
Automatic disqualification right there.
Ricky the Dragon Steamboat. The surprise of George the Animal Steal.
Oh, my goodness. And the Animal takes over.
The Animal is out of control.
I believe the Macho Man's injured outside the ring.
Well, of course, you'll recall, it was Steamboat who was injured recently.
Oh, wait a minute. Look at this.
This is horrible, McMahon. This is kidnapping, and Steepo's a part of it. This is conspiracy and kidnapping.
At least she's in the arms of someone who cares for her.
George the Animal Steal with two arms full of the lovely Elizabeth taking her back to who knows where.
What does the guy think? He's King Kong or something?
He almost has as much fur. Look at that.
George the Animal Steal.
It's kidnapping, McMahon. He's going to go to jail for this, I'm telling you.
The Macho Man just getting himself together, and he's going to look around and not find Elizabeth.
He sees her now on his way out.
Wait a minute. Standing right in his way to Dragon with the Steamboat.
This is a total conspiracy, McMahon.
Animal Steal and Ricky the Dragon Steamboat are conspiracy going on here.
Steamboat returning to the ring after suffering across lyrics from the hands of the Macho Man.
Randy Savage some time ago, and Steamboat just wants to have right on it.
If you just get one hand on it, many of you will recall it was the Macho Man.
Randy Savage leaps from the top rope, running the barrel into the throat of Ricky the Dragon Steamboat that stirs up this whole controversy.
We'll be back to sort it all out.
We are just about ready, I believe, to resume the intercontinental title matchup.
The Macho Man, Randy Savage, preparing for... No, no, wait.
The officials could not keep the Dragon Ricky Steamboat away from the ring. He's back again.
I'll tell you what, McMahon, this is ridiculous. This man is not supposed to be wrestling the Macho Man.
He has no business out here, McMahon.
Wait, who could blame the man suffering across lyrics at the hands of Savage?
I could blame him. If you want a mask, you sign it legally.
Both contestants sign it, then you get in the ring.
On his way back now, George, the Animal Steal.
Where's Elizabeth? Good question.
What has the Animal done with Elizabeth, Macho Man's manager?
Right now, the Dragon being escorted back this time by the police.
Well, it's about time somebody takes control of something here.
The Animal taking control of the turnbuckle with all that stuffings and whatever he's sort of fond of it, as you know.
Now, he's going to give something to the Macho Man.
Now, look at that, McMahon. Flagrant use of a foreign object.
He throws at the referee's face. He's sharing it with the referee.
Sharing it. That's what you call it, sharing it.
Someone's got to take control, jack cutting somebody, and suspend this guy.
Like I said before, you have to have a certain amount of latitude with George the Animal Steal in all of his matches.
Savage. Look at that. Savage with turnbuckle all over him. Look at this guy.
Excellent for you.
And now, the Animal breaking again across the facial area of the Macho Man.
Look out, here he comes. No.
Macho Man putting on breaks, and the Animal suffering the consequences.
I still don't understand what he has done with Elizabeth.
It's got to throw the Macho Man off his game plan to not have his manager at ringside.
Only time will tell. Maybe he locked her up back there somewhere. Who knows?
Anything would be an improvement rather than continuing the relationship with the Macho Man.
But the Macho Man right now is continuing to hammer on George the Animal Steal. What a number he's doing on him.
I'll tell you what, in my opinion, McMahon, he's going to try to finish him quick because he's got to go search for Elizabeth, go down the mountain.
Will he best be worried about even more surprises from George the Animal Steal?
We said before, he's the most unorthodox wrestler in the World Wrestling Federation today.
Well, Savage has got it going his way now.
The Animal lifts a foot to the midsection of the right hand by the Animal.
And another towards the Animal Steal.
He's fighting. Now look at McMahon. What more are they going to put up with from this guy?
Look at that nasty green tongue laughing about.
I mean, he tears apart turnbuckles, he bites, he pulls hair.
I have never, I have never once seen Animal Steal use a wrestling hold.
Not exactly a scientific matchup, I agree with you there.
But then again, there's a tongue again.
But then again, you'll never see a scientific match with George the Animal.
He's fighting again.
No, he's not.
He's not. What do you call that?
He's just salivating on him, that's all. He likes to salivate.
Even the referees finally jumping in there trying to get some sort of control.
The Macho Man trying to kick his way out of this.
Savage back in control.
What's Savage doing now?
The only thing that's saving Macho Man Savage is he's such a supreme athlete.
He is that rude.
He's biting again. He's biting his arm.
Somebody is going to have to feed this guy before a match, McMahon.
George the Animal Steal over the top, now to the outside.
Wait a minute, what's that?
Look at this.
Into the trunks, out with the what, a piece of steel for an object?
Yes, it's a foreign object.
Look at that, it hits Macho Man Savage with it.
How much more do we have to put up with, McMahon?
I'll agree with you that the Animal has really cut loose here
and the official trying to find that foreign object.
I'll tell you what, I am personally going to WWF President Jeff Coney
and I'm going to explain this situation to you because I, as a broadcaster,
do not have to put up, look at this.
Now he pushes a referee down.
How much more does the public have to take?
Wait a minute, the Macho Man just picked up the bow from behind.
Brims the bow into the back of the head of George the Animal's steel.
Hey, turn about, spare play.
Oh, wait a minute.
One, two, all right, all right.
I can't believe that.
Three counts put on the Animal, he's unconscious.
I can believe it.
Finish him off, Macho Man.
The Macho Man.
Wait a minute, coming through the ring.
The Dragon putting the brakes on right there for the Macho Man.
You notice McMahon, Macho Man's not wasting a lot of time.
He's heading off to find Elizabeth, which I don't blame him for.
He's heading off because he doesn't want to have any part of the Dragon.
No, no, no, no, he is concerned.
The Man has a look of concern.
His manager Elizabeth has been kidnapped.
The Animal's steel and Ricky Steamboat probably going to face jail
as far as I'm concerned.
Savage had a look of concern, all right, as well he should
because one of the days he will have to face Ricky the Dragon's Steamboat.
This whole affair that took place tonight is going to go in front of Judge Wapner.
You can bet on that.
The Animal coming back around.
Ricky the Dragon's Steamboat bringing him back around.
Look at this, look at this.
What's this guy's IQ level, McMahon?
I don't know, but would you want to be in the ring with him?
Answer the question.
It's got to be close to yours.
I beg your pardon?
His IQ has got to be right next to yours for intelligence.
George the Animal, steel intelligent or not, without question of a doubt,
is one of the most feared rustlers in the World Rustling Federation today.
That's right, he's feared, you know why?
Because there's no rules when he steps into the ring.
The guy does anything, he uses foreign objects, he bites, he steals managers.
What's left?
I don't know, but I can't wait until the Dragon steps into the ring
and it's really good to see the Dragon back on his feet after suffering to crush Larrick.
Well, I'll tell you, McMahon, I think Macho Man Savage is going to be the one going after Ricky the Dragon's Steamboat
after everything that's took place tonight.
The kidnapping of Elizabeth and this whole total affair with Steamboat and George the Animal, steel.
Could be, Jesse, who knows?
I, for one, am looking forward to it.
And also looking forward to our next matchup,
where we'll see the Junkyard Dogs square off against the King Harley Race.
Standing by right now.
And now, Rowdy, Rowdy Pittsburgh.
I ain't going to waste no time, because this is really easier on me than it is on you.
The Intercontinental Champion, Macho Man, Randy Savage,
and the very, very lovely, gorgeous, absolutely spectacular Miss Elizabeth.
Hey, I'm interviewing you.
You put me, man, you've got a lot of guts.
In fact, how would you like to be a has-been like this guy right here, the Dragon Ricky Steamboat?
Don't you know that he ain't around no more?
You ain't got the guts to put somebody out of professional wrestling like I did.
Adrian Adonis was all over you and still around.
Hey, Gravel Gertie, I'll take care of Humpty the Humpback Whale.
You take care of Steamboat, man.
Let me show you something.
Macho Man, Randy Savage, high in the air.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
It's a lovely doll, but it's got a lot of hair on top of it there.
Danger Zone, man.
In fact, what I'm going to do, eliminating all circumstances of sarcasm,
I'm going to give you a super gift.
Yeah, Dragon Ricky Steamboat, his throat is real bad.
But you can have a Macho Man, Randy.
Why, thank you so much.
That is a bad kind of gift.
I have a little gift for you too, my friend.
I have here a ring-sized ticket for a wrestling match,
because next week you've got a ring-sized ticket to see Mr. Ricky the Dragon Steamboat wrestle.
Thank you so much.
The following bout is scheduled for one call with a one-hour time limit,
and it is for the Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship.
Introducing first, the champion, accompanied by Miss Elizabeth from Minnesota, Florida,
weighing 238 pounds, the Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion,
Randy, Macho Man, Randy.
Well, where's the Macho Man?
I don't know, but anytime now, such regal music.
Ah, there it is.
Oh, lovely child, lovely child.
The reigning Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion, Macho Man, Randy Savage,
along with the ever-beautiful Elizabeth.
He is that man.
Randy, we'd like you all to say, OK, but my gosh, Elizabeth, you are a stunner.
Taking on all-comers, not ducking, anybody.
I questioned earlier on the way that he won the title to begin with from Tito Santana,
but he certainly has sent all-comers head-on.
Well,
and also tried to end the career of Ricky the Dragon Steamboat.
What are you pointing the finger at me for?
You got your hands full with the dragon.
Soon to be making his way to the ring area will be the challenger from Honolulu, Hawaii,
weighing 236 pounds, Ricky the Dragon Steamboat.
Whoo!
The stunt from his honest speech to speech and grief, Ricky the Dragon Steamboat,
first appeared to be put on a shelf for 18 weeks by Macho Man, Randy Savage,
and he is indeed ready.
Well, Randy Savage wants at him, and Steamboat wants at him.
Man, I can't wait. How about you, man?
The Steamboat has a lot to prove, his payback time, as far as he's concerned,
and he wants that belt.
The entire wrestling world has been waiting for this one.
You betcha, man. All the fans of the spectrum have to. You're truly included.
Look at that, man. What a... Is he in shape?
The Dragon's ready. The Macho Man's still got all...
Oh, look at this, man. He's behind Elizabeth. Give me a break.
Come on, Savage. Get it on, man.
Mighty behind the woman.
Talk about cowardice. There it is, right there.
A champion doing that. Remember, you believe it.
You believe I'm behind a woman, a champion doing something.
Look at that. Look at that. Come on. Come on.
He's got to him anyway.
Whoa!
Well, too late now. No place to hide.
The Dragon's got a whole lot of payback to do here.
The title's definitely on the line.
Macho Man sporting around a wide bandage on his forehead.
And Ricky Siebel comes off the top rope.
Whoo! This may be the end, man.
And Savage out of there in a hurry.
He's gone after it. He's gone after it.
He's chasing after that.
Going right after it, man.
Look at it. Now the only place to hide, I guess,
for Savage is to get up the ring. Now he's out again.
Look at it.
It's a foot race right now.
It is, man.
Savage in one side and out the other.
And the Dragon hot in pursuit.
Look out. Oh, party coming in.
Did he set him up or what?
He gave a double chop across the steamboat.
The Dragon down.
Hold his head.
Talked to Ricky earlier on in the locker room,
and he told me he didn't care about the championship.
All he cared about was getting his hands once again on Savage.
Double ax had to right to the back of the neck.
And he's down, man.
Somehow he staggered over to the other side of the ring.
Macho man right on in the count of one, two.
He kicked out somehow.
I don't know what he had left after that.
Steamboat is...
Oh, turned around.
Nice block.
Didn't block that one.
Now it's turned into a pier six draw.
That's all it is, man. No holes fired.
And the referee's staying out of the way
and let these guys do whatever they want to do.
That's the smart thing.
There's a lot to be proved here.
Knee to the midsection on the steamboat by Macho Man.
It's interesting to see if in fact the champion,
the Intercontinental Champion, Savage,
goes to work on the throat area.
Maybe. Oh.
Nice arm drag. Good job.
No. Oh, now the rise.
Oh, man, a rise.
He's going to work on Savage's throat.
One, two.
And the fans love that.
You talk about a guy who's steamed,
but dragon-licking.
He says, it's payback time, man.
I'm going for the throat no matter what.
He's going to clothesline him.
And the fans are saying, yeah, go for it.
The steamboat rider, Agilus,
can be right on top of the ring again.
And the ring apron now inside.
Macho Man, the champion, favoring his throat.
What's next?
Let's take you right up.
Going to do it again.
Clothesline.
Savage got both hands on the top rope that time.
He didn't get the full flow of that flow.
And Ricky's steamboat blatantly just gone for the throat.
And the referee jumped around,
pulling him off, trying to.
Steamboat blatantly, he won't let go.
Finally did.
Referee got a part of it.
It's only temporary.
Tell you.
This is a battle of karate chop right across the throat.
Steamboat's man alive.
Don't stop me now.
Look at the dragon steamboat on a roll
in the spectrum, going to work on the champion.
As we stated earlier on, he said he doesn't care about the title.
He just wants a payback.
Takes a break for that one.
Shoulder right underneath.
Right down the steps.
Yep.
Macho Man is not in very good shape though.
He looks stunned, hanging by the rope there.
Ricky's down on the floor of the spectrum.
No telling what he hit out there was to our blind side.
We couldn't see, but it looked like he went down
upward right down the steps.
Wouldn't be surprised.
Well, Randy's going to help it back in maybe.
Give a shot from top.
Kneeing him down.
Trying to kick him all the way out again.
Down he goes.
Steamboat! Steamboat! Steamboat!
Tremendous crowd on hand here.
It's become hushed all of a sudden.
All of a sudden.
There's a lot to be proved here.
High knee.
He goes over the steps again.
Right over the top of the steps once more.
The Dragon is in trouble again.
He really is. He's down, man.
Savage being admonished by the referee.
It would take more than that to hold the Dragon down.
The Dragon's on one knee. Now he's back up.
Whoa! Here it comes.
Coming right around our way.
Looked out. He's wrapped up here.
And rams him into the table.
Take him out of the table.
Now the other step.
Oh, no. Not the railing.
Oh, he blocked it.
And he blocked it again.
And now it's the Dragon unloading.
And he lands back on man.
Right into the steel.
Man alive. He is down.
But back up again.
He's got...
The Steamboat has a chair.
He's got a steel chair.
Referee trying to get him from him.
He didn't win that battle.
Look out.
It's the tongue of war now.
He just out bowed the referee.
He out bowed the referee. He's down.
The chair's down.
They're both out now.
He would have decapitated him.
But that's well. The referee's calling for the bell.
I'm sure this one is history.
It must be over.
The Dragon, I'm sure, has been disqualified.
You can't do that.
Absolutely not.
You cannot lay hands on a referee.
He's gone after him.
Steamboat's gone around back.
He doesn't care.
He realizes what's going on.
All he wants is a piece of him.
And he actually has gone to the floor
here in a specter.
Steamboat is out of care.
He is out of care.
Referee steps inside of him once more.
Boy, talk about vendettas.
This guy's got one going.
The steamboat's coming back in the ring area.
Referee's just now giving the official
decision to our ringing out, sir.
I would go to the bank and say that Ricky
the Dragon has been disqualified.
Probably.
The winner of this bout resulting
from a disqualification
and still Intercontinental
Heavyweight Champion
Randy Macho Man
Kevin
Well, as I stated earlier on, the Dragon
didn't care one way or the other about the championship
belt. He wanted some payback time.
He did, in fact, get some.
But we haven't seen the last of this competition.
The Dragon, indeed,
back 100 percent.
However, he lost his pool here
in the spectrum.
I'm sure he had a lot more
darkness than he wanted to dish out.
He did that drill about soon.
But the fans, look at him. They are loving him.
This guy could run
for any office politically
and make it in his town.
In great physical condition.
Mentally, I don't know
how much that injury took out of
Ricky the Dragon's steamboat.
He certainly lost his pool here
in the spectrum.
Why does never just the pure emotion drill about
soon? Absolutely. I don't think he lost anything
mentally or mentally.
None whatsoever. He's back
if he ever was away.
The Macho Man
on to victory.
Believe me, it was a hard
fought victory at that.
The next match, as you can see,
will be the Lumberjack
match.
The ring is surrounded by wrestlers.
Their job will be
if a wrestler leaves the
ring or is thrown out,
they are to pick the wrestler up
and throw him back into
the ring.
The match is one fall with a
one hour time limit
for the Intercontinental
Heavyweight Championship.
Coming up first,
the champion, accompanied
by Elizabeth.
From Sarasota,
Florida,
the 230 pound
Randy
the Macho Man
Savage.
Watch your man
in all his glory.
Coming down there led by
the very beautiful Elizabeth.
If we could get a shot of her.
You see the necklace
she's wearing?
No, not yet.
Oh, it is a beauty.
Randy, the Intercontinental
Heavyweight Champion,
maybe not for much longer.
A lot of people feel that
will be the case tonight.
Oh, look at that.
Oh, boy.
We know what the situation is there.
Be interesting as this match goes on.
We'll see what kind of
involvement goes on between
Ricky the Dragon Steamboat and the Macho Man.
And the challenger
from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
weighing in at 241
pounds, the living legend
Bruno
San Martino.
Tremendous elation by this capacity
drawn from the living legend
Bruno San Martino.
And as soon as he hits the ring
this match would be underway. Elizabeth had
best get out of there.
Savage blocking the way right now
of San Martino.
Referee trying to get it back.
Bruno's in there now. Look at this.
Hiding behind, come on.
From the backside.
He did exactly what he wanted to do, Kenny.
You knew Bruno had
to know that was coming sooner or later.
He wants no part of
Bruno San Martino.
Finally gets that robe off.
He tried to do a number quickly
on San Martino and it didn't happen.
San Martino with a big uppercut.
Oh, look at that. Savage bail right out of there.
Well, where's those guys?
They're a throwback game.
He didn't stay out there very long.
San Martino really going away.
Again, Savage
tries to leave.
Look at that. He's around. Oh, look at that.
The Dragon came right over immediately.
The help push him back in as he
fell right into the arms of all his friends.
We'll have to wonder whether Bruno
at some point will try and throw Randy
Savage out to Ricky Steamboat.
SD and Coco
get the champion back
in there in a hurry.
And San Martino
continues on low.
Oh, there's no place to run
and no place to hide.
As Savage
is finding out.
Maybe he bit off just a little bit
more than he could chew.
Maybe a very short
title reign for Randy Savage.
Look at that. Savage just went into his
tights. He's got something in his right hand.
Oh, stuck it right into the
ground. San Martino
has now put it back into
his tights.
But he did the damage.
If memory serves me correctly,
he was very familiar with using something
in his tights in this very building.
Against Tito Santana, took the title
away from Tito right here in the
Boston Garden.
And another month will make a year gone by
that he has held at Intercontinental
Championship, but he stole it
right here.
Listen to the chant
Bruno.
And it's San Martino
who's out.
Oh, look at that
shot by Bundy.
Bundy Jake taking a cheap shot.
Savage has gone up to the
top. He's perched there.
San Martino a long way away.
Three quarters of the way across the
field.
Savage
manages to reach it though.
Two count.
No
doubt about
throwing him off there.
Powerhouse
trying again.
Kicks out once again.
Savage has
got a few friends out there on
ringside.
Bundy is coming to mind right
away.
Short tackle.
San Martino out again right where
King Kong Bundy is.
And Tito
Brawa, look at that.
San Martino getting even, takes a shot.
And another shot at Frenchy Martin.
San Martino
out all the stops.
Rammed right
into the corner.
Savage
looks, oh San Martino just
turned into Dragon. It's said here he comes.
Right out in front of
the Dragon.
Look at this George.
He throws left and right.
Oh this is not what it's supposed to be all about.
We knew that
was going to come.
Oh there's the bear hug.
By San Martino.
We can have a new champion right here.
Look at this. Oh Bundy.
What a Crawl Harbor job.
And a Dragon comes in.
Pandemonium's broken loose
here in the Boston Garland.
He lost control of this one.
And the Dragon now unloading
on Savage.
It's all broken loose here.
Everybody's inside the ring.
It looks like a Battle Royale.
It's unreal.
However I don't see Savage
anymore. Everyone was inside
the ring. Dorello was the exception of the
Intercontinental Champion Randy Savage.
He wanted obviously no part of what
Ricky the Dragon steamboat.
We might have a disqualification here.
Let's find out.
The winner of this match by a disqualification
Bruno
San Martino.
Well San Martino didn't want that kind of
victory but won a guy.
Ladies and
gentlemen.
Ladies and gentlemen exactly
one month from today.
Introducing first
the champion accompanied
by the lovely Ms.
Elizabeth
weighing 238
pounds Randy
Macho Man
and his wife.
He doesn't
waste any time or he doesn't spare
any expenses dressing up a listener.
She is a lovely
lady. What is all about championship belts
on the line. All right. Soon to be
making his way to the ring area
will be the calendar
from Hawaii
weighing 236
pounds Ricky
the Dragon
Steamboat.
Take a look around
standing ovation for Ricky
the Dragon
Steamboat who's about to make an appearance
here in the spectrum.
He is back
100 percent.
I don't know what kind of
mental scars are left by that
kind of an injury. Well he's looking to find
out. He's ready to get it on.
He's hiding behind Elizabeth.
Randy Macho Man Savage
ducking behind
Elizabeth.
What a
use for a man.
Savage. Well I got
news for you. I wouldn't mind hiding behind
Elizabeth.
I know that
she's very lovely
and Ricky the Dragon
Steamboat. Does he
look ready. He certainly does.
Oh man alive.
Gold an opportunity for him here
in the spectrum to
gain what has eluded him all these
months. The Intercontinental Heavyweight
Championship now.
Macho Man chucking his
robe.
Elizabeth has still not left
the ring area.
Away away steamboat.
The other way around. The rest is supposed to be
in the ring.
She better bail out because I think things are going to happen
real real fast.
Ricky Steamboat is
looking to
make contact. He's in the midsection by
Macho Man.
Into the rope.
Oh man alive.
You talk about
a jab. That was a chop
and a half. Look at him. Boom.
Master of the martial arts. Ricky the Dragon
Steamboat. Uh oh.
Nice maneuver by Macho Man.
But he's down flat against
the second rope. Dragon's beating him to the punch
stick.
Whoa.
He's sharper.
Taking
it to him. Bounce
that head. Whammo right off the top
turnbuckle. It's been over a year
now that's gone by
since he stole the title from
Kido Santana in the Boston Garden.
Oh nice.
He's met all comers. I'll say that for him.
Nice snap. Mayor take down by Ricky.
Brand new Macho Man Savage.
The champion. Intercontinental belt held
Savage. Ricky wants it.
Maybe. You never know.
Boy at this point in time he's
more interested in getting a piece. Yeah.
Yeah. I wouldn't doubt that.
What's the hunk of it?
Well now's the time.
Referee checking him out.
No choke call. Alright go ahead you guys.
Get it on.
How tender can that
esophagus area, that larynx area still be
of Ricky the Dragon Steamboat. Only time
will tell that. We'll find out. Physically he
has to be a hundred percent. Yep.
Got a side head lock using a chop
from the right fist.
I can't believe
Macho hasn't gone to that area already.
I think he caught, did he catch his
throat across that top rope.
I don't know. Couldn't tell from our
vantage point. It looked like he scraped it.
He's not holding it at all. No. It looked like
he hit it. I'm not sure. He moved
so fast. Oh he's getting a kick
of the head.
Macho Man just staying right on top
of him. You don't give Ricky too many
opportunities. Just snap him
over the top rope and look out.
He's got a hold of it. He's coming right back
in again.
What a clothesline. Gave a clothesline
right over the top rope and down on
the floor. I was waiting for
that move. Yes he was.
You gotta give credit where credit is
due. You gotta give the devil his
just dude. This guy is
clever. He's dangerous and he
can put you away. Yes he can. He's right
down on top of Ricky Steamboat.
There's a look from our handheld camera.
Takes you right across the top
restraining
barrier. Rammed his shoulder in.
I can't believe he didn't go for the throat then.
Well he's still
just about, well he's
limping.
And Macho Man's cut on the forehead
just below the hairline in the front.
He's right on top of me. Look he's
taking it to him.
I'll tell you
something for Savage. You're not going to give him any dog off rig.
Oh he went after the throat there.
Gave him the elbow right after the throat.
Ha.
Any gesture to you. Come here baby to grill him on
soon. He thinks I'm next I guess.
Oh look out.
Go into the top turnbuckle.
Maybe we'll see that fattened flying elbow.
This may be over. This may be
over. I don't know.
Melvin with it right in the back of the head.
Dragon doesn't have a clue where he is right now.
Oh there's a flying elbow.
Savage.
Savage right on top. He hooked the leg.
Oh close. A lot of people
said that the dragon came back too soon
Dick. It certainly appears
to be that way to me. Maybe. Maybe.
Well you kept referring to maybe
the middle block. I don't know.
The physical thing is right there.
Oh going after
him.
Outside the top rope and down on the apron.
And now
Savage right on top of him. Takes him outside.
Oh look at this.
Elbow right on the front again.
Right into the larynx.
That's where all the damage was done originally
in that esophagus area.
Oh look. He's
trying to get
his grip.
Look at Savage like a thief in the night.
Sneaking around.
Sneaking up behind him. Oh look at that.
High back.
What was it?
Nobody's been counted out
here although the dragon's been out on the floor
for quite some time.
All right.
Mokzaman's going to help him
back in the ring. It looks to me.
I don't know.
He's not that predictable.
Catch him off the forehand with a shot.
Another shot from the left.
And the fans are starting
to pick up the chance for Ricky
Steamboat. So we're going to help him or not.
He's just hanging by a thread.
Elbow is back. He's at the mercy of Savage
right now.
Not a whole lot to hide that blow or that one either.
Not enough to stop him.
Savage just gave him a knee to the
midsection. Uh oh.
Savage to the outside.
Going to take him to the
looks like he wants to
run into the field pole. Oh no.
He blocked it. He blocked it.
He blocked it again.
Oh he gave a shot
to the midsection.
He's going to take him.
Turn about. Turn about.
Savage is
screaming against that top rail.
That restraining rail.
Both men coming very close to being counted out
here. The dragon going to the outside.
He's perched up there.
High up on the top
turnbuckle. Oh!
He nailed it. He must have been
10 feet in the air when he brought that elbow down.
This capacity crowd
is on his feet as they anticipate
perhaps a new champion.
Maybe. Maybe.
The Intercontinental
Pelt and the championship that goes with it right on the
line here. But again as you're saying
it's true. I don't think Seamboat in a sense
cares much about that if he just wants
to do him in. He's going for it.
Ricky's on a pair.
Chopped him right across the
throat area.
He is cranked up.
The adrenaline and a half flowing
through his body every portion of it.
Oh! Look at the leverage move there
by the champion. Boy!
Unexpected and down goes Seamboat
trying to get to his feet.
I'll tell you this Savage knows
how to do those kind of moves to give him
the upper hand when he seems to be in
a whole lot of trouble. The thing is with
Randy Savage he combines agility
with a great deal of strength and that's
tough to beat.
And he's also very sneaky. Yes he is.
Alright Ricky Seamboat on the
apron now.
Savage right there to meet him
dragging down on the hardwood floor
here. Right back up again.
He is
he's indomitable. Savage doesn't
want to let him back in.
Gave him a shot on the elbow.
Ricky keeps trying another side of the ring there.
Well the referee's trying to hold him out
to logically give Seamboat
time to get in.
Seamboat in excellent shape.
He's going around and around
waiting for the right opportunity to fly
back in there.
There he comes. He got caught again.
Shoulder wide.
Trying to get the leverage.
He's got him. He's got him.
He got him down there. One two.
No he couldn't get him.
Watch the man brought his feet together.
And he rolls him up again.
Only a two count.
Looking down again. Goose the leg.
Look at this. Got the shoulders in.
Savage got out again.
I'll tell you. Savage
is diving the bullet.
He's looking for another roll up.
He's over. Oh look at a handful of
tights by the champion.
And it's a dragon counted out.
All over. All over. All key roads.
Handful of tights
by the champion to the blind side
of the referee. And he
holds on to the belt once more.
Well he didn't like it but that's all key
road.
The winner of the bout.
And still intercontinental
heavyweight champion.
Randy Macho Man.
Savage.
Well Savage had it all done
to him. He's losing the belt.
You watch the screen. Here's what goes
down. Had him. Nailed him.
Pulled him on the tights. Reversed it.
That's all key road. Now from our position
we can't see but I'm sure that he
held on to those tights for that
position in order for the referee to
delay the three count out. A moral
victory for Ricky the Dragon Steve Ball
but not a monetary one or one that
would get him the belt as Savage
leaves here still the champion.
We're taking a look at the
tremendous crowd here in Toronto's Maple Leaf
Gardens.
Jam packed to the rafters
here for this World Wrestling Federation
extravaganza. Gorilla Monsoon at
ringside with Bobby the Brain Heenan.
Plenty of action and excitement
coming up. Let's go to our ringing outs.
The following is your hostess
main event.
It is an intercontinental
heavyweight title matchup.
Introducing first
accompanied by Elizabeth
from Sarasota, Florida.
Weighing
235 pounds
the champion Randy
Macho Man
Savage.
The reigning intercontinental heavyweight
champion Macho Man Randy Savage
making his way down to the
ring here in Toronto's Maple Leaf
Gardens. But over a year
now Brain since he
shall we say stole the title.
Well you and everybody else thought it
was a fluke. But over one year
he hasn't been a kind of a champion that just
defended it when he felt like it.
He defended that title. I'll give him that.
He met all hot covers
for sure.
Being led down by the very
lovely Elizabeth.
There he is in all his glory and
splendor.
Certainly is a beautiful role.
Spare isn't too bad either.
Spare is no expense
addressing Elizabeth either.
Hey when you're making the kind of money
as the intercontinental champion he doesn't
care about a thing.
The
challenger is from
Honolulu Hawaii.
Weighing
236 pounds Ricky
The Dragon
Gold.
She wouldn't be there to look for him.
Would you not say that she is very instrumental
in his career.
She helps.
She gets in there.
Would you like the members of your family to say
that about you. Well he helped.
Well they wouldn't say that about me.
There is no Bobby Heenan family
without Bobby Heenan.
Glass and confrontation here between
the champion
look at this
the Dragon pulling out all his stops.
Referee is not supposed
to put his hands on the wrestler.
Tide has turned just that quick.
Oh look at that beautiful move
by the Dragon right through the legs.
Scoops him up in a slam position.
Wow look at the speed on the Dragon.
He is unreal.
The champion slithered out underneath
that bottom rope.
He may be headed for the locker room.
He's not that kind of a champion.
Well he certainly appeared
that way.
He was probably going to try to get an official
record back steamboat off of it
and handle the rules here.
Elizabeth literally hiding
behind the post
as the Dragon brings
him back the hard way.
And he scoots right out again.
Good thinking.
Good strategy. I like it.
Chant going out
by this capacity crowd.
Steamboat. Savage.
Steamboat. Oh.
Stupid move
Steamboat. Caught him on the way back in.
Both of these guys
extremely quick.
And it's a Dragon out
over the top and hard down to the cement
floor. Here in
Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens.
Not the place to be.
Maple Leaf Garden
or the floor. Both.
Don't ever
be on the floor in any arena.
You can't win from down there.
Look at this.
Grabbing him right shoulder first.
I can't believe that he didn't go
for the neck on that move.
He's going for it. He's just getting ready.
This is a champion you're talking about.
He's going to get him right where he wants him
and then finish the man off.
Certainly would be nice to see a
title change hands here in Toronto's
Maple Leaf Gardens. Talking about
the Intercontinental title.
Boy he's good at that
back shot isn't he?
Shots and shots. Take them when you can.
I hope Mrs.
Steamboat is here with him.
So maybe after this match is over
he can translate to the cab driver
how to get back to the hotel because I don't think he's going to be able to talk.
Look out.
Slammed once again on the floor.
And Macho Man just bailing in
in time to stop the count.
He'll settle for a count out.
He wouldn't mind having the Dragon counted out.
Take it any way you can.
I think he'd like to hurt him a little more.
The Dragon
undoubtedly wanted the gold
but that may be secondary.
It's vendetta time.
It's payback time.
That's why he'll never be champion.
He doesn't think like a champion.
Look he's crawling out of the building.
He's crawling out of the building.
What a disgrace.
What do you mean he's crawling out of the building?
I think he's looking for the exit.
Savage once again.
Now Dragon the Dragon back in.
Nope changes mind.
Now he's going for the
neck.
Now he's going for the
esophagus area.
The area that literally
put Ricky the Dragon
on the shelf here for quite some time.
And many thought he would never be back.
Where's Savage going now?
To the outside.
With ease to the top turnbuckle.
Bombs away.
He nailed him with it.
Double axe handle.
Right to the back of the base of the brain.
Savage pulling out all the stops.
Hooks now with a double hookup
of the legs and still can only get a two pound.
And a testament
to the intestinal fortitude of the Dragon.
Wow.
There we go.
Macho Man
resorted to what I thought he'd start
using right off the bat.
Attacking the neck area.
Just might be a steamboat thought.
In my book he had in there.
Well he should have had him.
He had a handful of tights.
But the Dragon
nice block.
And the tide has turned again
in this matchup.
Iris Whittenall reversal.
A steamboat hard in the corner.
Nice clothesline by the champion.
Definitely a thinking man's champion.
Thinking all the time.
That's what I said.
Strength is a lot.
Knowing where you are is a lot.
Positioning is a lot. Endurance.
But you don't have any brains. Forget it.
You're lost.
Really doing the work now.
Really setting up.
Ricky the Dragon steamboat.
That peripheral vision on the part of the Dragon
enabled him to see him coming.
And the last good second got out of the way.
And once again the tide has turned.
Poor dumb luck.
Couldn't hold him up there.
Wow.
If that guy had been there in time.
The referee had been in position in time.
We'd have had a count of three.
It is a very big two letter word.
It sure is.
Nice shot right over the shoulder of the lovely
Elizabeth who has to be concerned
right now at this particular point in time.
With the way this match is going.
Is that a choke?
No that's not a choke.
I just asked.
You don't see the arm underneath the throat.
Right there I do.
That's a chinlock right there.
Savage appears to be partially
busted open there.
Does it appear that way to you Brian?
Yeah it does.
What do you say?
What do you have on your chest?
Referee asking Terry Arson
asking if he wants to give it up.
I don't think
the Macho Man is acquitted.
Randy he's behind you Randy.
He hung up on that top rope.
Wow.
What a move.
That's why he's a champion.
That's why this man is the Intercontinental Champion.
He just looked over at the brain and said
yes I'm going to go to work on the throat right now.
Look at this out into the ringside area.
Savage got the dragon right where
he wants him.
Caught up here.
He's trying to crawl out. I'm telling you the dragon's
running for his life.
He draped his neck.
He's going to the top of the steel barricade.
Champion now going to the top.
Elizabeth looking on.
Bombs away.
He got caught.
A dragon caught him right in the middle of that move.
Another turning point in this match.
Blood definitely coming out of the
facial area of the champion.
But he still comes back and fights.
He's still a champion.
Irish whipping.
Look out.
Nice deep arm drag by the challenger.
Through the legs the dragon's on fire.
The adrenaline flowing in his body.
Come on referee disqualify him.
I didn't say disqualify him.
I said the man should be disqualified.
Give the guy a count.
Referee is not supposed to
once again put his hands
on the wrestlers.
You don't think that dumb Hawaiian can count to four or five do you?
Oh look at this.
He's going to snap him right on that top rope.
And the crowd loving it.
Dragon showing everybody exactly
what part of the body he's going to go to work on.
Closed line city coming up.
Well lucky for the champion.
He had both hands on that top rope.
Took a lot of the steam out of that particular move.
But does Elizabeth look worried?
Look at her.
Can't see her. She's out of my picture right now.
I don't think she's got any nails left.
Dragon really going to work.
He wants to go out after him.
Nice block by the Dragon.
And he blocked it again.
Referee laying the count on both men.
And it's Savage who's rammed into the steel railing.
We can see history made right here tonight
in Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens.
As once again the pendulum has swung in this match.
And there's the concerned look on the face of Elizabeth.
And it's a Dragon.
Behind you.
Behind you Andy.
What a tomahawk chop from that top turnbuckle.
This could be all she wrote.
Slingshot.
Right into the steel post.
What a tremendous matchup.
He's definitely opened up now.
He's busted wide open.
The Crimson streaming down the face of the champion.
He should stop the match right now and award it to Savage.
For what?
He's a man into the steel post.
It's uncalled for.
That's what Savage has been doing since this match began.
All of a sudden now it's constituted disqualification.
Elizabeth very concerned at this point.
And I don't blame her.
Macho Man staggering around trying to find his way out of here.
Dragon saying nothing doing.
Nice leverage move right out of nowhere.
See he's still the champion.
He still has enough left in him to come back when he has to.
The Dragon.
Completely surprised by that move.
Came down right on his tailbone.
And now both men out on the runway.
High knee right from the back of the Dragon.
But the champion is still in deep trouble.
Come on get in and beat the count.
Doesn't look much like a champion right now does he?
Well he's standing the other punk isn't.
He's going to beat the count.
He's going to do it.
Come on ref.
After 10.
You want to be a referee now?
I can certainly do a lot better than his hand.
The Dragon once again back to his feet.
Shoulder block from the outside.
High sunset flip.
But the champion is going to hold it up top turnbuckle.
He turned it loose.
One two no.
Roll up from the back side.
Two count again.
And roll up.
And roll up once more.
Can't hold his shoulders down.
But he's trying everything.
Small package.
Oh look at that.
Sam is realizing how much trouble he's in.
Took a shot at the referee.
Oh look at this.
With two hands full of tights.
He got him.
I can't believe it.
He's a champion.
That's why he's a champion.
Why?
Because he reached in and pulled a guy's tights.
Because when it had to be done he went and did it.
The Dragon obviously not satisfied with what's going down here.
And I don't blame him.
Still going to work.
But Savage will leave this building as Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens.
With the gold still intact.
And the Dragon hard on his trail right now.
He didn't let him make it.
Look at that.
The champion busted wide open.
Ladies and gentlemen.
The winner.
And still champion.
Randy Macho Man.
Savage.
Got a nice ring to it don't it.
The thief.
He stole another one.
Stole it from the referee.
Stole it from Ricky the Dragon.
Steamboat.
Hey pineapple breath.
How you like that punk.
Back to Maui.
A moral victory here in Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens.
For Ricky the Dragon.
Steamboat.
Let's go back and take a look.
At what the champion had to resort to.
In order to get a victory.
He wasn't swinging at the referee.
He was just throwing the blood.
Look at this.
Right into the tights.
And as the roll up came around he put both hands inside.
Where's the referee counting from anyway.
I'll take it.
Three counts to three counts as far as I'm concerned.
I guess you will.
You and the rest of the guys in your stable.
Along with the Macho Man Randy Savage and Elizabeth.
The hand is raised.
We'll be back.
Talk about.
Talk about events.
Talk about a happening.
Talk about history going to be made.
It'll all happen March 29th.
In the Silver Dome.
Pontiac, Michigan.
I imagine you'll be there Slick.
I'm so on.
I'm gonna be there.
Taking the Greyhound or.
The natural book read is gonna be there.
Nicolau Goldcock and the Iron Seat.
Are gonna be there.
And if those men are not there.
Pick me a winner Slick.
Andre the Giant.
Hulk Hogan.
That's pretty tall out of the field brother.
Well I'm asking you to give me your honest opinion.
Well. Let me put it like this.
Believe it or not.
I highly respect Hulk Hogan.
How could you not respect the World's Heavyweight Champion?
I don't admire him.
Okay.
That's not necessary to admire.
But you gotta give. Hey the Hulkster is one bad dude.
But on the other hand.
Andre.
15 years brother.
He's never been beaten.
And he's so big.
He's so strong.
He's so awesome.
Hey I just don't see any way the Hulkster can beat him.
That's your criteria?
Let's go to our ring announcer.
Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen.
This.
Is a six.
Man. Elimination.
Tag Team Matchup.
Let me explain the rules.
All six.
Individuals will be in the ring.
One against one.
When a man.
Loses.
By any means.
A fall. Be it pin.
Count out. Disqualification.
Whatever.
He is eliminated.
And the winner.
Will be announced.
In the next further competition.
This process continues.
Until we have.
One. Against two.
Two against three.
Until we can come up with the winner.
Here are the participants.
Introducing team number one.
The first man on the team.
From New York City.
Weighing.
288 pounds.
Out.
The second man on the team.
From the state of Texas.
Led towards the ring.
By manager Jimmy Hart.
Take a peek.
Look at the adorable one.
Who is the biggest I've ever seen him.
Well I've gotta go along with you on that.
As much as I hate to.
The adorable one.
The adorable one has a horrible
physique.
The next man on the team.
by Bobby the Brain Heenan.
Ladies and gentlemen, here is the king,
Harley Reese.
I think you should stand up, Muscle.
Well, I don't see you standing up, Slick.
Showing the proper respect to the king.
Look at this.
You dummy, Slick, standing up for that
piece of garbage.
Muscle, and I can't help it if your mama
didn't teach you how to show respect for
royalty.
I think it would be appropriate
if everybody rose
and showed proper respect for the king
and bowed.
The third man of this team
will be led towards the ring
by Elizabeth
from Sarasota, Florida
weighing 239 pounds,
the Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion
Randy
Macho Man
Savage.
Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion
the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
The belts are definitely not on the line
here.
That Elizabeth is a fox, isn't she?
She is a lovely lady.
Well, there's one half.
And, Muscle, what do you get off?
Let's meet the opposing team.
First of all, introducing
from Charlotte, North Carolina
weighing 280 pounds,
the Junkyard Dog.
Come on.
Concern on the face of Elizabeth
and rightly so.
There's a dog.
Friend of yours, like I understand.
That Greasy Dog,
he ain't no friend of mine. Look at him.
That 15-foot chain
wrapped around the neck of the dog.
Why don't you go home, Greasy?
You know you're afraid.
The next member of the team hails from
Hawaii, weighing
237 pounds,
Ricky the Dragon
Steamboat.
Ricky the Dragon Steamboat
back 100% physically.
There's no way you'd make me believe
that, my son.
There's no way he could be 100%.
You don't see it.
And their partner,
who, ladies and gentlemen,
I must add,
is making his final
wrestling appearance
in Madison Square Garden
from Glasgow, Scotland.
Weighing 233 pounds,
Roddy Roddy Piper.
Standing ovation here in the Garden
for Roddy Roddy Piper on his final
appearance here in Madison Square Garden
as he is retiring
after WrestleMania 3.
I see you still wearing that dress.
That's a kilt.
Call it what you want. It looks like a skirt to me.
Boy, mayhem will happen, indeed,
once his bell rings, and this six-man
will look at the ovation here for Piper.
Just unreal.
I think the people are laughing at him for wearing that skirt.
Six-man elimination
tag team matchup.
Referee will have his hands full.
Anything goes when a whistle blows.
And now, Mansoong,
what did you get off calling me a dummy?
I better go open up your head and examine it
and find nothing but a pile of sodas.
Obviously, you resemble Andrew Marks.
You wouldn't be so bent out of shape about it.
I notice you're almost bailed out of here
with a junkyard dog laid his chain on you.
Well, that guy's so goofy, you never know what he's gonna do.
I wish you'd have been out here when Damian was out here.
I'd like to see your reaction to that.
Mansoong,
if he ever comes toward me with that snake,
that'll be the end of the snake in him, too.
We're underway.
Big smile on the face of Roddy.
And Piper's a dangerous man.
You ask me, I think he's crazy.
Adrian didn't want any part of him.
Intercontinental Champion steps in.
Of course, we're gonna see that match
in WrestleMania III.
The adorable one, Adrian Adonis,
in with Roddy, Roddy Piper,
the final match of his career,
and the king gets nailed for not paying attention.
Deep shot.
And Savage bails out.
That match also one of the features
in WrestleMania III,
Ricky the Dragon, Steamboat,
for the Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship
against the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
And in the corner of
Ricky the Dragon, Steamboat,
Randy Savage, the Animal Steal.
Another lunatic.
Just something else for Savage
to have to think about, isn't it?
I doubt it. I know if the natural's out there,
he wouldn't be concerned about that.
Crazy.
How could you ignore a guy like Steel?
Oh, beautiful deep underhook.
Karate chop drops the champion.
And he's looking to get out of there.
And the king is in.
And the king
ran right into the head of the dog.
That's just like hitting a piece of log.
Look at the dog.
He loves it.
Harley Race finally bailing out of there.
Macho Man trying to do a Pearl Harbor job
but the dragon was right there.
My son, I just don't like these type of matches.
Any particular reason?
Yes, because it's an elimination match.
You know, it could wind up 3-on-1,
2-on-1, 1-on-1, 3-on-1.
I don't like it. I don't like it at all.
That's what it's all about.
That's what elimination tags are all about.
Very dangerous match.
I just don't like it. I don't like it.
It's bitter.
I don't like it.
It's bitter.
A preview right here of what to come
in WrestleMania III.
As in the Silverdome,
Pontiac, Michigan, March 29th,
the king will indeed face
the Junkyard Dog.
And the loser of the match will have to bow.
And you can believe that J.Y.D.
will be on his knees, brother.
He's no match for the king.
Oh, big uppercut.
Look at that, 360.
Lucky for the king, he came down feet first.
You know, it's hard, my son,
when you're trying to wrestle by the rules
and you got a man like Junkyard Dog
that can't read and write.
Oh, you know Junkyard Dog
can't read and write. I know the boy
from a long ways back.
That's a bold-faced lie,
Slickard. You know it.
Wait a minute, my son. Now, don't get that bad.
You're gonna call me a liar right here in my face, my son.
Because the reason you do that,
because you know I'm a church member and I won't fight.
But, son, let me tell you something.
You know Junkyard Dog
can not read.
That's a lie.
Look out, Savage going to the outside
up to the top turnbuckle
where he's very at home.
But shaking the rope was the Dragon
on a block
in the right hand.
Ran right around into the dog.
Now, the Dragon is not
the legal man Mourini he is right now.
He's been a used karate too, look.
Master of the martial arts.
Roddy hooks him from the outside
and he pushed him right out into him.
There's no way one referee
can handle this type of match.
Finally said something that was true.
Ricky put his head down.
I've been saying things all night, son.
Adrian well over that
320 pound mark.
Suplex, well executed.
That's right, brother.
Beautifully executed.
With Piper heading to guts he's running in now.
Here comes the Dragon
over to make the tag to Roddy
and he does.
Adrian is bailing out once again.
He didn't make it though, all the way.
Piper's got him. Watch out for the king.
Look at that, Junkyard Dog
in the center wing. The Dragon
they have a tag. Five guys inside there
right now. They'll be six in a moment.
A seven steps in.
As we stated earlier on
referee would have a tough time
controlling this one. Somebody's
allowed to get hurt here tonight.
Someone will undoubtedly get hurt.
Referee
trying to get somebody out.
Look at this.
Double suplex
on Roddy by Adrian and the king.
What do you mean double suplex? I don't see anybody
but Adrian in there. Obviously.
What do you think about Ricky the Dragon? Dragon in there
to make the save.
Nice block by Ricky.
Look out Adrian hard into the corner
there's good night Irene. It's all over.
Right in the center
of the ring. And Roddy
rams him backwards into the turnbuckle.
And it's Piper with a sleeper.
Here comes the king.
That's the kind of part I'd like to have
in my corner. Why don't they just make this match
everybody in there and do whatever you want to do.
Take the referee out of there. Let these
guys go at it and be done with it. They might
as well because Junkyard Dog can't
read the rules enough to understand what's going on.
Ricky the Dragon steamboat has no
class. I'm going to tell the dog
in the locker room
what you've been saying. I'm going to tell him
what you've been saying. He's going to clean your clock
for you. I'm going to tell
the dog what you've been saying out here
about it. What did I say?
What did I say?
That he was illiterate. Couldn't read
and write.
Look at this. Wide open.
J.Y.D. on the
receiving end.
Well you didn't do your homework
Adrian
Playing right into the man's
power.
Dog unloading.
Oh football tackle
he went for. See he is
illiterate. What a fool that is.
Adrian stepped out of the way. And Piper
right on his case.
Wow it's broken loose
on the concrete floor here in the garden.
All six men out there.
Big headbutt.
This match is
out of control my son. Ricky
going to work.
They're all around us
fighting on the floor here in the garden.
Oh it's Rodney with a steel chair.
Right into the kisser of
Adonis.
As they are taking his thing right
out on the Broadway.
Well the referee has no other
recourse but to award the match to the
king. To what?
That's right. Please.
He's the last man in the ring.
Once again the members of our Japanese
Tokyo TV
chased out of their position once
again. Good let them go home.
Look at this.
Suplex by Rodney.
Over for the cover. The referee
doesn't know. Oh come on ref.
Oh come on rep.
Why isn't Adrian back out here?
The bell is ringing here.
Obviously somebody's been eliminated.
We're going to get an official word from our
ring announcer here. Somebody is out of this.
I've been informed by the referee that
Adrian Adonis and the junkyard dog
the legal men in the ring
at the time of the battle
were counted out of the ring.
Therefore Adonis and the
junkyard dog have been eliminated
from further competition.
See that guy's so stupid he don't even know he should leave.
Look at that look on his face.
He's lost. Look at him.
How did the referee know who were the legal men inside the ring?
Well we've got very competent officials around here you know.
Needless to say the dog is gone.
And Adrian is gone.
That leaves two apiece now on each team.
I think Roddy Roddy Piper should have been disqualified.
I'm sure you do.
He used a chair. You saw him.
I told you this is a
six man elimination tag.
But it's not an anything goes match.
To my knowledge. No it's not an anything goes match.
Then therefore the referee has an obligation.
But all six men were outside the ring.
But the referee has an obligation to the fans.
He has an obligation to the combatants.
To enforce the rules and regulations.
Right or wrong my son.
Don't you be talking to me about obligations.
After some of the things that I've seen you do.
And I'd like to know what.
Piper over there wow
Stuck a finger right into the eye of the king.
He's a lunatic. The guy's crazy.
Looking to make a tag to the dragon.
And the Intercontinental Champion stopped him.
Oh wow.
What an elbow dropped by the king.
Right into the kidney area Piper.
Well brother sometimes you gotta fight fire with fire.
Roddy Roddy Piper's final appearance here at Madison Square Garden in his career.
It may be his final appearance period if he keeps going like he's going tonight brother.
It's very possible as well.
If in fact it's not.
His final appearance will be.
Look out.
Savage misses.
Nobody home.
He makes the tag to the king.
Suplex coming up.
Blocked by Piper.
And Piper with a suplex of his own.
I don't think Piper have enough to get over tag.
Oh yes he does.
He made it to the dragon.
Ricky off the ropes.
Big karate shot to the forehead.
Wow.
Tell me the dragon is not 100% now.
Slick.
Yeah but he's using karate man.
That's what I'm trying to get you to see.
That's illegal.
It's not illegal.
Murphrone are you going stone crazy?
The martial arts are perfectly legal in the realm of professional wrestling.
You can't use karate in professional wrestling.
Look out.
Reversal.
He made it to the cage.
Just a grunty blow caught him.
All four men were in the ring there once again.
Double slingshot on the king.
Down for the cover.
Good for trying to get Piper out of there.
Another dragon catches.
Savage coming in.
Goes to work on him.
Look out. Ricky to the top.
Bombs away.
He nailed it.
Referee right there.
One, two, three.
Did he count him out?
No, no way brother.
Can't you see anything?
But from this vantage point, small package.
Look at this.
The referee should be able to count him.
He should be counting right now.
Right after Savage came in and turned him over.
What a terrific wrestle that Harley raised here brother.
He is the king of professional wrestling.
He just proved it right there brother.
I told you Steamboat wasn't 100%.
I've seen a time he could have kicked out of there.
Ricky the Dragon Steamboat
has been eliminated from further competition.
He must leave the ring area
and go back to the dressing room now.
How on earth could he possibly put one man out there
to referee a six man elimination tag?
As now Roddy Roddy Piper is left alone
in the six man elimination tag
with the likes of the matchup man
Randy Savage and the king
Harley Race.
Don't sell Roddy short.
Brother with the odds against him like this
there's no way, no way.
No one has left their seats.
No way.
Well that's a tribute to the king and to Savage.
That's a tribute to Roddy Roddy Piper.
No way brother.
Right Manawa attacking the king unloaded.
Got to keep one eye on the back of his head all the time.
As you know Savage is not about to stay in his corner.
Here he comes.
He's an honorable champion.
Come on ref give me a break.
He would never come into the ring
unless Piper just like you would.
Provoking brother.
We all know that.
So what?
Oh big 360 by the king
and he ends up with a ringside seat.
I don't think he has a ticket for that.
Piper has no business outside the room right now.
Look at that. Savage with a chair.
He got caught with it.
Piper saw him coming with a peripheral vision.
But Piper's in deep trouble.
It's two against one out here.
Piper was in deep trouble when he came out of the dressing room.
That's what makes these six man tag team elimination matches so brutal.
Clayton choke hold now as he's using the top rope.
Choke hold?
Yeah choke hold.
Apparently we must be looking at two different matches.
I can't see any choke.
Macho going to the top.
Nailed him.
Double axe handle right between the eyes.
Hooks the leg.
Could be all over here.
No Roddy got out.
Surprised me.
I didn't think he had enough left.
Double team effort once again.
Double team.
What do you call that? It's two against one isn't it?
The king is just standing there.
He's not bothering anybody.
He's getting clobbered right now.
Roddy unloading on everybody.
What's the matter with the guys?
They hungry?
He's biting.
He should be disqualified.
I want to stress.
I want to emphasize that this is not a no disqualification match.
Power slam by the king.
Couldn't get him though.
Once again.
Determination indeed.
The king got everything under control brother.
Cut right suplex.
And Roddy got it.
Over for the cover.
Here comes Roddy.
Nails him again. Come on.
Why don't you disqualify somebody?
Like Piper. I didn't hear you say that.
I say like Piper.
Obviously at an extreme disadvantage right now.
For everything that Piper's done tonight.
Look at this.
Wide open.
I see nothing wrong with that.
And it's Piper out of the way.
He nails the king.
And the king is down.
The king is out.
The king is out of there.
He got counted down one, two, three.
I think he lifted his shoulder at the last minute.
He was nailed.
He was eliminated.
Piper still leaves.
One on one.
Macho man against Roddy.
Roddy Piper.
Now it's down to one on one.
I said it once. I'll say it again.
This is the worst officiating I've ever witnessed.
In the World Wrestling Federation.
The king lifted his shoulder at the last second.
And you saw that muscle.
You're a liar Slick.
Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion.
Macho man Randy Savage.
Left alone on his team.
As is.
Roddy, Roddy Piper.
What a confrontation this is going to be.
One on one. Look out.
Still out there.
Referee's got to make him go back to the locker room.
The king has no business out there.
He's already been eliminated.
Looking to get involved here.
Oh look at that shot.
Right into the king.
And Piper.
Unloading now on the champion.
Bulldog.
He nailed him with it.
He had a handful of hair too.
Savage in trouble.
Piper extending a hand of friendship.
What's Piper up to?
Look at that.
Can you condone that?
After some of the things that
Savage and the race had done
to Roddy, Roddy Piper.
He can do anything he wants right now.
What kind of man are you?
A fair one.
You call that fair when the man breaks the rules.
Biting.
Eye gouging.
Payback is fair in my books Slick.
Name one thing Randy Savage
has done wrong in this match.
If he's not, he can't do it.
Savage out of there.
Piper right after him.
It's a foot race here.
Savage backing underneath.
He caught Roddy coming through.
Sunset flip.
Can he get him down?
No.
By the Macho Man.
Macho Man shoots him in.
Devastating clothesline.
Over for the cover.
Shoulders are down.
One, two.
Piper kicks out once again.
What a battle this is.
Roddy's got to be about out of gas out there right now.
As he's had the toughest going
of anybody involved in this
six man elimination.
Right into the throat.
As fresh as ever, brother.
Hooks the leg.
Could be all over right here.
No! Piper out of there once again.
Slow count, my son.
You think so?
Scoop up. He couldn't hold him up there.
And Roddy hooks the leg.
But to no avail.
Hey, break it!
Break it! One!
Two!
Okay, Piper is choking right there, my son.
Hey, break that leg!
Both men struggling to get up.
But the hot rod has the Macho Man
up in the air. He lets him go.
Ah!
Piper throwing bananas
on Roddy now.
Roddy's on a warpath.
Side headlock by the champ.
Ah, the day hit hard.
Savage out onto the concrete floor
here in the garden.
Rug free out there, laying the count on him.
Piper's on his feet.
Piper probably going in his trunks.
He'll probably go in his trunks
and pull something out too, my son.
Look at Roddy.
He's playing possum.
He's laying down in the center of the ring.
He's waiting for the champion to get up there.
Look at Piper.
What is this, my son?
What a job he's doing.
What is this, what is this, my son?
Savage thinks he's got him exactly where he wants him.
And Roddy's got him so close.
I should tell him, I should tell him.
I'm gonna tell him.
Don't go, Slick.
Look at this. Savage thinks he's
got him made.
Piper out of the way.
Get your hands off me, my son.
Roddy, Roddy with a small package.
Get your hands off me, my son.
It's all over.
Rody, Roddy, Piper with a small package.
Roddy, Roddy, Piper.
What a tremendous victory here.
Let's go back and take a look
And how he did it how he put
away the voucher man Randy
Savage by using some smarts from
upstairs there goes a hurt man
right now in the form of the
voucher man Randy Savage let's
go back and take a look at the
replay Roddy was playing possum
right at this particular point
in time Savage thought he was
home free Roddy got out of there
in a hurry now look at this
small package looking both legs
down for the one two three cut
what a final display of
brilliance here on his final
appearance in Madison Square
Garden for rowdy Roddy Piper
unbelievable so victorious in
the six man tag team matchup of
course Ricky the Dragon Steam
Boat the junkyard dog and the
junkyard dog and rowdy Roddy
Piper this contest is scheduled
for one ball in the ring from
the Isle of Samoa weighing two
hundred forty one pounds.
Look at what an amazing
Elizabeth is just about one of the prettiest ladies you'll ever see.
Elizabeth has this to say as to whether or not she's afraid of George the Animal's
seal in the corner of the dragon.
Kind eyes, and a nice smile, and I don't think he'd ever do anything to hurt me.
What? You can't get out of here waiting on me.
I just think it's Macho Man.
Wait just a minute, McMahon.
I ain't gonna stand here and let you insult Macho Man while you're sitting back here behind the desk.
You want to insult him, go insult him face to face.
Elizabeth is going at one, two, and three.
Two.
Look at that drop kick by C.B.A.F.E. to Macho Man on the outside.
C.B.A.F.E. is going right out after him.
Back, on the floor, slide back.
Macho Man back in.
C.B.A.F.E.
Going to ropes there.
Macho Man with C.B.A.F.E.
No effect.
Whoa.
Her butt.
And C.B.A.F.E.
Macho Man's off to a bit of a slow start.
Boy, I'll say.
On the ropes.
Look at that.
Uh-oh.
Raises the knees to the midsection.
Oh, he caught him.
Closed line by the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
And you wonder what will happen when Savage and Steamboat collide in a couple of weeks with George Steele in the corner.
Well, I'll tell you what I think will happen.
I think that it'll be a huge, huge retirement, something that Steamboat should have did before.
I think Macho will retire him permanently at WrestleMania.
I hope so.
C.B.A.F.E. back in the ring.
Thanks to the Macho Man.
Well, the Macho Man will take it to you.
I can tell you that.
You better be ready for a struggle.
Uh-oh.
And here's, without a doubt, in my opinion, the most devastating move in all the wrestling.
Macho Man and the Pac-Man!
And the C.B.A.F.E.
And a breakout.
And I don't care who you are.
If Macho Man hits you here, then it's over.
Now look at this.
One of the most gorgeous young ladies you'll ever see.
In the corner of the Macho Man.
Boy, she should provide as pretty as Mary Hart.
Oh, wait a minute. Look at this.
What in the world does Elizabeth see in the Macho Man?
I have no idea.
It's Macho.
The winner of this round, the Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion,
Randy, Macho Man, coming!
Macho Man, devastating.
And a little bit less on.
All right, let's take you now to something of a special interest.
Well, there's no question that the Macho Man was in orbit.
In the last encounter with George the Animal Steal in Hartford, Connecticut,
making reference, of course, to the love triangle between Elizabeth,
the Macho Man, and George the Animal Steal.
And some bizarre happenings occurred in Hartford,
and you'll remember it as we go back now.
See the Dragon Steamboat?
The surprise of George the Animal Steal.
Oh, my goodness.
And the Animal takes over.
The Animal is out of control.
I believe the Macho Man's injured outside the ring.
Well, of course, you'll recall it was Steamboat who was injured recently.
Oh, wait a minute. Look at this.
This is horrible, McMahon.
This is kidnapping, and Steve Boat's a part of it.
This is conspiracy and kidnapping.
At least she's in the arms of someone who cares for her.
And we'll find out who cares for her the most
because Macho Man and George the Animal Steal,
the winner gets Elizabeth.
What a prize.
Standing by right now, Mean Gene Okerlund.
All right, thank you, Vince.
With me right now, the Intercontinental Champion of the World
and his manager, the lovely Elizabeth.
Elizabeth, we've all seen what happened in a recent main event.
Are you fearful that George the Animal Steal might try something tonight?
Well, Gene, I am scared.
Now, that's you talking to her right there.
Why should we be scared, woman?
Man, I'm the Macho Man Randy Savage, yeah.
I will prevail, yeah, because I'm psyched up.
Randy, have you ever had more on the line than you have tonight?
I mean, your belt's on the line and also your manager, Elizabeth,
although some say she's more than just a manager.
Listen, you little duck pin, man. I could slap you right now
and throw you right through that Saturday night main event.
Right there, yeah.
Don't you worry about my relationship with Elizabeth.
The important thing is that I'm gonna take that hairy bozo out there,
George the Animal Steal, put him down and pin him one, two, three.
It'll hurt him real bad.
Understand that? Yeah, yeah.
Real intense, yeah. Go ahead, yeah.
Guess what, Elizabeth? Let's go on down that aisle right now.
No, no, no, wait a minute. Not tonight, not tonight.
Elizabeth enters last.
Those are the rules, Randy Savage.
Oh, yeah, rules. Well, rules are made to be broken
and your neck could be broken. You understand that?
No, it's okay.
Do nothing. I'm gonna go put him away.
All right, apparently a very nervous Macho Man.
Randy Savage with everything on the line tonight.
I can't wait. Back to you, Vince.
Why, he should be nervous.
The Macho Man tonight could lose the Intercontinental title
and lose to lovely Elizabeth, just imagine if you would.
George the Animal Steal with his hairy arms around Elizabeth.
What a lovely couple they would make, Jesse.
Makes me want to throw up, McMahon, just thinking about it.
Come on, I'll tell you something.
Macho Man is not nervous. Macho Man is psyched up.
And I want to get one more thing in.
Who does Gene Okerlund think he is?
Grown-up Barrett or something?
Going into the private lives of the wrestlers?
The Macho Man defending everything tonight.
Oh, Elizabeth, you look ravishing.
It's gonna be a big night for everybody involved.
Oh, yes, it is, Gene. I'm just worried that somebody might get hurt.
Well, that happens.
Elizabeth!
You're grueling, George, please.
Manager!
That's right, George. She is the manager
of the Intercontinental Champion, Macho Man Randy Savage.
Manager!
That's right.
George's manager.
Well, not yet, George.
You're gonna have to win Elizabeth in the match tonight.
You understand that?
Win?
Elizabeth!
Bye-bye!
Well, I hate to say it, Elizabeth,
but you could flip a coin,
heads you lose, tails you lose.
Not a real comfortable situation to be in.
Let's go back to you, Vince.
No, I wouldn't think so.
Not a comfortable situation to be in at all.
And certainly that has marked the career of Elizabeth
as manager of the Macho Man.
Well, let me say this.
This match really shouldn't take place,
because that man right there
should be doing time in Attica right now for kidnapping.
Well, it's going to be legal tonight.
The winner wins the championship
and wins Elizabeth.
Mean Gene is still with her.
Well, Elizabeth,
a very scary situation you're in tonight.
However, the good wishes of an entire nation
will head to the ring with you tonight.
The best of luck.
Thank you, Gene.
All right, a very brave
and a very lovely woman
headed to a uncertain fate.
Miss Elizabeth, let's go back to you, Vince.
All right, back to that ringside.
Well, just a minute, McMahon.
Did you see that little bald-headed,
pervert Oakland looking at Elizabeth when she left?
What do you mean by that?
He's a disgrace.
He is a disgrace to the broadcasting industry.
I'm not too sure about that.
On her way to the ring, Elizabeth,
and this man could very well walk away
with a lovely Elizabeth
as the prize in this extraordinary matchup.
And just imagine the poster they would make.
Jesse, the animal, and Elizabeth together.
Yeah, the animal and Elizabeth together.
I'll tell you what.
There is so much riding on this match,
not just Elizabeth.
You're forgetting about
the Intercontinental Championship of the World.
George the Animal Steal is not forgetting about chivalry.
No, from behind, look at that!
The Macho Man attacking the animal,
ramming into the guardrail.
I love it.
Round to the canvas.
The Macho Man saw the opening.
George the Animal distracted by Elizabeth,
and Macho Man did the damage.
What does the Macho Man think he's going with Elizabeth?
The Macho Man has to go back to the ring somehow
to lock up what George the Animal Steal
to determine who is the rightful possessor of Elizabeth.
Well, this obviously, this match is not gonna be fair
because Steamboat's out there to interfere.
He's out there to distract Macho Man Savage.
How can Macho Man get in and have a match with Animal Steal?
Look right here.
Look at, he's distracted him.
Yeah, he distracted him already, McMahon.
No, look, Steamboat's happy now.
He accomplished what he wanted to do.
Well, that's what he wanted to do.
He did a great job of it.
Meanwhile, the Animal is just all over the Macho Man.
Look at this.
Vintage George to the buckle.
You will see no scientific wrestling in this match.
None whatsoever.
This is an Animal-style matchup.
Oh, it definitely is,
and they're going after the Intercontinental title
at the pleasure.
Oh, look at that!
Ramming to the buckle again.
And the Animal, I'm sure, can almost feel
Elizabeth in his arms right now.
And I'm sure Steamboat's gloating somewhere outside.
He did what he wanted to do.
Whoa!
Macho Man's so blind that he almost hit Heavener.
Too bad he didn't connect.
George the Animal is still in control at the moment.
As Elizabeth looks on, and the Macho Man rammed again.
What's the Animal doing?
Wait a minute.
We've seen this before.
No rhyme, no reason for what he's doing.
He has control of the match, but yet he's into the buckle.
Look at that.
That's stupidity.
I mean, this guy belongs in the cage.
There's no doubt about it.
There's no room for him in professional wrestling.
Look at it.
The Macho Man runs for me!
I love it.
Right into the back of the shoulder blade.
Beaten by a turnbuckle, right?
Well, it's not over yet as the Macho Man
scoops up George the Animal steel,
slams him down to the canvas.
The Macho Man still reading from the effect
of being slammed to the buckle.
Now to the outside.
On the top rope, we can see the elbow.
A leap down.
Oh, my!
And I'll say this.
Nobody, and I mean nobody in wrestling,
goes off of those ropes any better
than Randy Macho Man Savage does.
Elizabeth, earlier on, cringing,
seeing the sight of George the Animal steel
being pummeled by this man, the Macho Man.
Now, Hoppin, you're saying that Elizabeth is cringing
because steel's being beaten?
I think, down deep, I think Elizabeth
definitely wants George the Animal steel to win.
I think you're in a fairy tale land, McMahon.
I mean, can you imagine somebody as beautiful
as Elizabeth having to spend the rest of her life with that?
Yes, I can, indeed.
Look at that thing.
The beauty and the beast.
That's what's going to triumph here
in this matchup, George the Animal steel, right now.
Look at that forearm across the chest.
I tend to disagree.
I think that brains will prevail,
not brawn in this match.
Oh, look at that!
Look at it.
Flagrant biting.
He's biting!
He's fighting it.
Oh, look at this.
Because it's George steel, it's okay, right?
George steel doesn't have to abide by rules.
Oh, you remember, Jesse, it was the Macho Man
who said rules were made to be broken earlier on.
Remember that?
Yeah, and obviously steel was listening.
Look it, he's eating another turnbuckle.
Oh, look at that.
Oh, have some right in the face of the Macho Man.
Oh, damn.
He should be disqualified for doing that to the referee.
Where's he going?
He hasn't won the match.
He should have pinned the Macho Man.
He hasn't won nothing.
Look it, he's twisting Elizabeth's arm.
He's making her leave.
He's not making her anything.
She's willingly going with the animal.
He's assaulting.
Oh, no.
The Macho Man hammering away on Jersey Animal Steel.
The count continues by the referee.
Look at the Macho Man.
What's he doing?
Rams!
Look at this.
Whoa.
Rams, George.
Masked him.
Macho Man backing the referees, counting.
I can't believe this.
The Macho Man.
The bell.
Macho Man's won it, I believe, McMahon.
I believe he's won.
Yes, he's won it.
The Idiot Steel has been counted out, no doubt.
George the Animal Steel with Elizabeth's chair.
Oh, it comes in the ring.
The animal coming into the ring as well.
Look out.
Going to the midsection across the back of the head and again.
George the Animal Steel hammering away on the Macho Man.
Oh, my goodness.
Look at that.
What a horrible display of sportsmanship on the part of the audience.
Macho Man wins the match, and this is what this guy does when it's over.
Oh, I can't believe it.
Let's look here on the replay.
There you see Animal Steel manhandling Elizabeth.
Oh, I can't believe it.
Now he's threatening.
Now he's threatening with a belt.
Well, we're going to make him get rid of that too, because the belt is definitely on the
line here.
The dog ends up with the belt.
The easy way, the hard way is to win it.
He just snaps it away from the referee.
I don't quite think that's what Randy Savage had in mind.
Has to be brought over here to the timekeeper's table.
Because this is definitely a title match.
Junkyard Dog telling referee Dave Hebner, all I want to do is look at it.
Oh, look at that.
Turn this back.
You can't turn your back on the macho man.
Well, we ended up with it here eventually at the time of stable.
What it's all about the goal.
The Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship belt.
The bells were on the way here and he's still got his shades on.
Why's he got to back it up the bell, right?
The match is on the way giving away a lot of power as is obvious with that particular
move right there.
But the speed and agility and cunningness classic matchup speed and quickness against
size and strength is what it's all about.
History could be made here tonight in the summit.
A lot of people feel that J.Y.D., if he can keep his mind on the macho man and not stray
over the glass of Elizabeth, could be the man to end the reign of Randy Savage's Intercontinental
Champion.
Nobody knows that any better than the macho man or not so much a man as I like to refer
to him.
Head there warning J.Y.D. about something.
Nice go behind quickly underneath.
Gonna lose this power right here.
He can't match the power.
Oh, headbutt right between the eyes.
Sends the champion down to the canvas.
Well, J.Y.D. has got to get back now.
He's in the corner in the ropes.
Doing a good job right now keeping him back.
Very concerned look on the face of Elizabeth and rightly so.
So far tonight Randy Savage has not been all that anxious to tie up with the J.Y.D.
If you say he may be a bit leery of whether or not he'll be able to walk out of the summit
later this evening with the gold around his waist.
Another big headbutt and out goes the champion.
Maybe we could get Elizabeth.
Elizabeth, could you come here a moment please?
Let me ask you here.
Things are not going too well for the champion right now.
Your game plan has sort of gone down the tube so to speak.
I'm sorry.
You're sorry?
I can't.
I'm sorry.
What did you say?
I'm saying that things are not going too well for you right at this particular hour.
What are you doing?
What are you talking?
Well, Gorilla Randy Savage almost became possessed.
All you were trying to do was talk to Elizabeth.
Something you've done many times to many of the managers here in the World Wrestling Federation.
What is your problem?
He has a definite problem.
He became paranoid.
He really did.
Just asking her a simple question that his game plan looked like it wasn't going to work.
What is it?
You and me, baby.
You got me.
As we say, talk about a turnabout is fair play.
One distraction deserves another, I guess.
That'll teach the Macho Man to pay attention to what's going on in the ring instead of
worrying about what a couple of commentators are doing.
Gorilla, the only thing that makes any sense to me as to why Randy Savage would become
so upset when all you were doing was asking Elizabeth a question.
He's obviously.
Wow.
Macho Man really gets bent out of shape anytime anybody even attempts to speak to Elizabeth.
Did you see that?
No, I was on the phone with Mr. Wonderful wishing me congratulations.
Mr. Wonderful.
Yes.
Benedict Arnold.
Paul Ohendorf.
We're going to be back with the exciting conclusion of this matchup between the Macho Man and
J.Y.D. in just a moment.
The title is, in fact, on a line you can't be distracted in any way whatsoever about
what's going on inside.
Who was that?
Kay.
Kay?
Kay Kopowitz?
That's right.
Wishing me.
You're a liar.
Phone rings.
Let's go back to the match.
He could be a lot less jealous, more jealous if he walks out of here without the goal.
And it certainly appears that way right now.
Look at that.
He didn't do his homework.
He's getting bent out of shape because that doesn't work on the dog.
There he goes over the top rope.
That seems to be his only salvation is to bail out of that ring.
Look at the look on that face.
And here he comes again, Gorilla.
What is it with you?
He's going to end up getting counted out of the ring.
You're worried about me.
Can you believe that?
It could very well happen.
I guess I've got to ask with some of the comments made tonight by the Macho Man directed towards
you, Gorilla.
Any chance that...
Highly unlikely.
Gorilla is retired.
One count.
Two notes.
Wow.
He kicked out of there with authority.
Elizabeth, obviously she's very worried about what's happening here in the summit and rightly
so because it could be all over right here.
We could make history.
Gorilla, all I'd like to say is if for whatever reason you decide to put an end to that retirement,
you and the Macho Man, that's one match I'd buy a front row ticket for and I'd pay through
the nose to see that.
You don't have to worry about spending any money there.
It's not going to happen.
Down for another headbutt and down for the cover foot over the bottom rope.
Take a look, Dave.
You can see it.
The dog said two count doesn't make me the champ.
I tell you, you've got to get a front row when friendlies do.
Savage knows exactly where he is at all times when he's inside that squared circle.
Oh, look out here.
Boy, he planted that one right underneath the chin of the dog.
And the tables have turned just that quick.
One count.
Two and...
That's it.
He is dangerous.
Once he gets warmed up, a nice block.
A right hand.
Look at the difference in the power of the shots here between these two individuals.
It takes three or four from the Macho Man to add up to one to the dog.
JYG says if that's the way you want to go, it's fine with me, brother.
He'll stand toe-to-toe with anyone.
Ran him into the turnbuckle pad.
Elizabeth really fed out of shape and concerned.
And down again and out again.
Onto the floor.
Go Savage.
I can't remember seeing Randy Savage in this serious predicament during the course of a championship match.
And JYD goes right out after him.
Oh, look at that.
He pulled her right in front of him again.
Give me a break.
He's coming over.
Pulled her right in front of him again.
If I could have reached her, I'd have pulled her out of the way.
Oh, ring the bell.
Yes, definitely, ring the bell.
I don't know why, but we're ringing the bell.
I guess both might have been counted out, I guess.
Now, wait a minute.
Referee Dave Edgar raised the Macho Man's hand, brother.
I don't understand this.
You want me?
You're a sick person.
Let's go up and get the official words.
I'll never forget you.
Guerrilla, the challenge has definitely been made.
Ladies and gentlemen, the winner and still intercontinental champion
due to count out by the Junkyard Dog, Randy Macho Man Savage.
Right off the top rope to the backside of the Junkyard Dog, and he came down.
Look out, he's about to crack him again.
No, there goes the belt.
And the dog's on his feet, and the dog's got the belt.
That's my move by Referee Dave Edgar.
He counted the Junkyard Dog outside the ring.
Is that what the decision was, Kenny?
That's what it was, and for the life of me, Guerrilla,
I cannot believe it nor understand it.
I don't understand this at all.
However, it remains fact here.
Do you have a problem or what?
