Now, get him down from there.
From the top.
Whoa!
Down!
Oh!
Steamboat's grabbing his throat.
What?
He's got the bell.
Whoa!
He's off!
He can't breathe!
Look at that!
He can't breathe!
Gene, I'm amazed at the man's recuperative abilities.
He's had an amazing recovery at this point from his initial injuries.
I think a lot of that is due to the tremendous heart of Ricky Steamboat
and certainly the phenomenal physical condition that he is in.
From Hawaii, look at that!
Ricky the Dragon Steamboat!
Look at this, Ricky the Dragon Steamboat returns to the world wrestling federation.
This is horrible, McMahon.
This is kidnapping, and Steamboat'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 the Macho Man.
Just getting himself together, and he's gonna look around and not find Elizabeth.
Steamboat returning to the ring after suffering across larynx
from the hands of the Macho Man, Randy Savage, some time ago.
And Steamboat just wants to have right at it.
Oh, yeah!
Macho Man Randy Savage, Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion,
was in a state of shock when Ricky the Dragon Steamboat came back, yeah.
But this time, in front of the largest audience in the world,
I will not only embarrass you, not only pin you with the one, two, three count,
but I'm gonna put you out of wrestling for good.
Oh, yeah, Dragon, I am the Lord and Master of the Ring,
and you're gonna find that out one athlete to another right now.
You can't be with me, no.
History beckons the Macho Man, yeah.
Well, that was the Macho Man only moments ago in our interview area,
and now here he comes making his way down the runway
here in the Silver Dome, Pontiac, Michigan,
the reigning Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion along with Elizabeth.
And I'll tell you, Macho's looking good.
Elizabeth is looking good.
Everything's looking good, Gorilla.
Even you're looking kind of good.
Listen to the ovation given to the Macho Man, Jess.
Oh, yeah, hey, I'll tell you, here in Detroit, baby,
they like the Macho Man here in Detroit.
Well, say what you want.
You are with me, Jess, in the Boston Garden.
This tournament is for the Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship.
It is scheduled for one fall.
About to enter the ring, accompanied by Elizabeth from Sarasota, Florida,
weighing 239 pounds, the Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion,
Randy Macho Man, coming!
Well, Jess, it's been just about a year and what, two months?
Since the Boston Garden when he literally stole the title from Tito Sanchez.
Oh, you're right.
You were there, Jess.
I was there.
I'm so tired of hearing of this stealing, always stealing.
Let's go right now to meet Gene Okerlund in the Interview Center
with Ricky the Dragon Stebo.
All right, Ricky the Dragon Stebo, someone special.
George, the animal steal in your corner.
However, in my opinion, this could be your last shot at Randy Savage
and the Intercontinental Title.
My last opportunity.
Randy Savage, the day has finally come.
The minutes, the seconds, we have reached our moment.
As you and I climb into the ring, we clash like two titans.
But there will only be one winner, one winner, Savage.
This dragon is breathing fire.
This dragon will scorch your back.
I will come away with the championship belt and see new horizons!
Ricky the Dragon Stebo threatening to scorch the body
of the reigning Intercontinental Champion, the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
And in back, here he comes.
Along with the man who will be in his corner, George the Animal Steal.
Yeah, look at that.
You think George the Animal will be able to give some sound advice?
Well, it's more important than anything else.
The opponent and challenger to be accompanied by George the Animal Steal
from Hawaii, weighing 237 pounds, Ricky the Dragon Stebo!
90,000 plus on their feet to meet and greet Ricky the Red Dragon Stebo
to look at George the Animal.
Yeah, George the Animal, he's going right after Elizabeth like he always does.
Infatuated indeed.
Macho Man doesn't like it one bit, Jess.
Well, I'll tell you what, the main thing right now is not for Macho Man
not to worry about Animal Steal and Elizabeth.
He has to concentrate on the Dragon Ricky Stebo
and the defense of this Intercontinental Championship.
Title can only change hands in one of two ways, submission or pinfall.
No disqualification, no count-outs.
We can win the match that way, but not the title, Jess.
That's right. That's where the champion has the advantage.
Got a little bit of an edge.
Oh yes, because see, the champion can get disqualified,
the champion can get counted out,
he'll lose the match and the winner's money,
but he'll hold onto the title.
Elizabeth with a very concerned look on her face, and rightly so.
This is a vendetta that's been coming down for quite some time.
Jess, I want to go on record right now and say you were one of the guys,
you and the weasel breath, Bobby the Brain Heenan,
who said that this guy would never step back in the ring.
Well, I'll go on the record, he surprised me.
He surprised a lot of people.
You know, they said he's got a lot of heart,
but I personally say he's got a lot of throat.
Well.
Because it wasn't the heart that got hurt.
Obviously, Elizabeth in the wrong place,
because the Macho Man went out and took her by the hand
and led her to another section of the ring.
Well, you can imagine why.
I mean, she was too close to Animal Steel,
no telling what he could do.
He's kidnapped her once already.
Look out, Irish Whip in, ducked underneath the Dragon.
Oh, look at that deep arm drag.
Off the ropes, through the legs,
and another deep arm drag by the Dragon.
Oh, catches him right around the throat.
Referee right there laying the count out.
Wow, that was close.
And as you can see, Steamboat not binding by rules.
He's flagrantly choking, and Referee Dave Hebner
gonna have to get him under control or disqualify him.
Well, the Dragon doesn't want that, Jess.
That's gotta be the farthest thing from his mind.
He doesn't want to get counted out.
He doesn't want Savage to get counted out.
He doesn't want to get disqualified.
He wants to strut.
What a smart move there by the Macho Man.
He got the Dragon to chase him outside the ring,
and when he came through the ropes, he leveled him.
He nailed him.
In control once again, the reigning champion,
Macho Man, Randy Savage.
Oh, what a clothesline.
I don't think there's a better talent in the world
of professional wrestling than Macho Man.
I'll tell you what, I have my doubts,
and you've heard me express them many times, Jess,
about how he got the title,
but he faced everybody in this last, what,
14, 15 months that he's been champion.
That's right.
The guy has ducked nobody.
There's not been a closet champion by a long shot
taking on all contenders.
Listen to the chant going out, Steve Boat.
Head of Dragon moves out of the corner,
and Savage finds nobody home.
Oh, look at that.
Oh, look at the leverage on the wrist lock.
And that can dislocate a shoulder real quick, real quick.
As he's going to work right now with this arm wringer,
he's gonna drape it over that top rope
and drops off the apron with it.
A method to his madness indeed, Jess.
Well, I'll tell you,
I've never seen the Dragon this aggressive.
I mean, he doesn't care about rules out there.
Well, this could be the final opportunity for him, Jess.
I would say it is the final opportunity, Durella.
Get him a shot right over the shoulder
of George the Animal Steal
as the Dragon is in control of this one.
Uh-oh, a handful of hair.
Got Macho out of there.
Boy, did he plant that elbow.
Oh, did he catch him with that elbow.
Right in the kisser.
And that's gonna buy him the time he needed.
Macho needed a little time right there,
and that bought it for him.
Savage holding onto that left elbow
as the Dragon goes right out and over the top.
Wow, long way down.
Well, I think George Steal,
there you see the Animal Steal taking a look.
The Animal very concerned.
Obviously very close with Ricky the Dragon Steamboat.
The Macho Man, Randy Savage, in control now.
Well, he tried to get back in,
but the champ wouldn't let him.
Booted him right in the face.
A smart move by the Macho Man.
Look at the back of the cranium on the Animal.
That's disgusting.
I prefer not to look at it.
Handful of hair,
and the Dragon is back up on the apron.
Look at this, wide open.
Ooh, and he's going after the throat.
He's going after the throat indeed.
He's going after that larynx.
Smart on the part of the Macho Man.
Surprised he didn't do that earlier on in the match.
Well, you gotta wait for your opening, Gorilla.
You gotta do certain things
to create openings for other things.
Champion definitely in control here.
And the Dragon in trouble.
Savage just about as cunning as they come, Jess.
Well, I'll tell you what.
He's got tremendous ability,
and he backs it up with a lot of savvy
and brain power in that ring.
Elizabeth should be happy right now,
but not a look on her face
that would give us any idea
that she's very concerned.
Well, in the words of Yogi Berra,
it ain't over till it's over.
You got that right.
Elbow planted right between the eyes.
Hooks up.
Nice amateur move.
Don't cook, get a three count.
Knee drop right in the sternum area.
Overhooks the leg again.
Two count, and the Dragon comes out once more.
Come on, ref.
Keep the guy out of the hair.
Nice block by the Dragon.
And it's a champ who's wrapped in.
And the Dragon,
I don't know where he's getting
this energy from, Jess.
Oh, he's reaching down in somewhere
and getting it.
And now the tides change,
and Macho Man's reeling.
Everything on the line
in this big intercontinental match here.
Oh, he's tight in the ropes.
Oh, he's hooked up good.
Now, if Steamboat was the true sportsman,
he says he is,
he would step back
and let Hempner release him
from those ropes.
He stepped back
and then moved in
once again immediately.
Yeah, what do you got to say about that?
Well, any time that you take a guy
who would use a bell from the ring
and try to terminate your career,
you do whatever you have to do
to get even with him.
Reversal and Macho in.
Oh, he reversed it again.
Beautiful maneuver.
High cross body.
The champ is down.
Two count, quick getter.
Oh, I love that arm drag of the Dragon.
Well, I'll tell you,
nobody does an arm drag
any better than Ricky Steamboat.
Show the block
and try for a pin again,
and no,
look at the speed of these two.
Another two count,
and that's it.
Oh, he got caught with the momentum
right into the top rope.
Landed that knee
right into the high cervical vertebrae area
of the back.
You know what that was?
Steamboat went to the well
once too often.
I have to agree with you.
Yes.
He got away.
Over the top rope.
Look at the Dragon.
Held onto the top rope
and pulled himself back in
and got clotheslined.
Oh.
You're, you know,
you got to get up
pretty early in the morning
now to smart the macho man.
I have to agree with that.
Look at the look of the Animal.
Very concerned, obviously.
There's the Animal,
the road scholar that he is down there
giving him some good advice.
Wow, he always speak well of you, Jess.
He can't even speak.
How could he do it, Gorilla?
I got that impression.
How do you speak well
when you don't know a word?
Look out!
Paul Harbourjom from the outside
and the Dragon is out
into the ringside area.
Now, now, Heppner,
what is Heppner doing?
Heppner should be
counting Steamboat right here.
He's reprimanding the champion.
That's what he's doing.
But he's giving Steamboat
a chance to recover.
He's letting Animal steal out there.
Now, look it.
You talked earlier
about how managers
should not be touching people
and helping people.
Look what's going on out there.
He's not a manager, Jess.
He's just a friend.
Oh, that's different, Dad.
Look at this.
The Animal picking up the Dragon.
This is terrible.
He should have been
counted out already by Dave Heppner,
the referee.
I've already counted to 20.
As the Dragon was literally pushed
by the Macho Man
over the top barricade
right into the ringside area.
And there he goes again.
And it looks like this time...
Oh, look at this.
Macho, high at top,
the top turnbuckle.
Bombs away.
If he connects with this,
forget about it.
He got it.
Oh, he nailed it.
You know what he should do now?
He should drape that larynx
right over the railing
and do it again.
Well, he railed into the ring
realizing that both counts
were going on on both of them.
Now, why isn't Heppner counting?
Why isn't that Heppner counting?
He is counting, Jess.
Yeah, he waits 30 seconds.
Well, both men were outside the ring.
No, Gorilla.
Macho Man got in a long time ago,
and that Heppner's too busy
reprimanding him
instead of counting
like he should be.
Well, the champion now
to the outside
throws the Dragon back in
and is going once again
to his favorite perch.
Bombs away once more.
Nails him again.
Double axe handle
right between the eyes.
Macho's setting him up now.
Elbow.
What a beautiful move that was.
Could be all over right here.
Just snuck out the back door.
Talk about determination.
Whoa.
Look at the clothesline by the Macho Man.
What a move by Macho Man.
I don't know how Steve Bucky...
And the Dragon gets out.
I don't know how he's doing it.
That could have been a disqualification too,
just that kind of a clothesline.
For what?
Deliberate.
Deliberate?
Of course it's deliberate.
What do you think?
He fell into it by accident?
No, but it's a deliberate effort
to put a guy out of commission,
and that could be construed
as a disqualification.
Suplex. Nailed him.
Classic textbook suplex right there.
Macho Man throwing everything
but the kitchen sink
and can't keep the Dragon shoulders down.
I don't know how.
I mean, he has given him three or four moves right now
that would have beat any average man.
This is beyond wrestling ability.
This is Guts personified right now.
And the Dragon started to unleash
with some of his martial arts,
but Guts stopped cold.
Macho went to the eyes.
Gunwrench suplex.
And he said, look at Hefner out of position.
There was a three count right there,
and Hefner was out of position.
How could you possibly get around
any quicker than that?
Oh, man, I'll tell you this.
Hefner's slow counting.
He better stay consistent then.
The Dragon's still in a lot of trouble.
Oh, went right over the top on that attempt.
And now it's the martial arts and the Dragon
coming into play.
Irish whipping.
Oh, put his head down.
I don't blame him.
He's probably exhausted.
Oh!
Drop, drop right over the top.
That should be a disqualification.
That was an intentional throw over the top
by Steamboat to save himself.
Just like the deliberate clothesline,
I'd say they're even right now, Jess.
I'll tell you, you got an answer
for everything, Gorilla.
Well, that's why I'm here,
to keep you in line.
Yeah.
Look at the animal.
Dragon trying to figure out
what's going on, where the Macho Man is there.
He's going right out after him.
This could be a big mistake.
Ramson into the ring apron,
and now it's the Dragon going to the outside,
going to the top.
Savage doesn't know where he is.
Oh, what a karate shot right between the eyes.
This 90,000 plus has gone bananas.
No, his foot's on the rope.
His foot was on the rope.
Good call by Hebner.
His first good call of the match.
The Dragon realized it.
Still on the attack.
Down in the middle.
One, two, and Savage comes on once again.
Whoa, what a chop.
Those chops are into the eyes, too.
That's illegal.
Macho Man trying to get to the outside
to save himself.
He's in a lot of trouble.
The title is in a lot of trouble.
Referee named Hebner pushing back the Dragon.
Looking for a position, perhaps.
Champion gets back in as he realizes
to count nice shoulder block from the outside.
Sunset flip over the top.
Macho's got the rope.
Can he hold onto it?
No.
Shoulders are down.
Two count now right between the eyes.
And Ducks underneath another right hand
and a roll up again.
I'll tell you, now it's the Macho Man
with unbelievable how he's kicking out all these.
We were on a double leg hook-up.
No, couldn't get him once more.
What a battle.
This is one of the greatest matches I've ever seen.
Small package right in the middle.
No, Macho Man out.
No, no.
There was no two count there.
Scooped in a slam position.
Perhaps a slingshot coming up.
Yes.
Oh, right into the steel post.
He hit the post.
Savage in a whole heap of trouble.
Pokes the legs from behind.
I give Savage credit where credit is due.
Unless a man would have been put away a long time ago.
Another reverse, no.
Hand for the tights.
He's got his hands in his...
He kicked out anyway.
And Hebner's counting slow.
I agree, Dave Hebner doing a tremendous job
in this title matchup.
I don't think so.
Contrarily to what Jesse the Body Mentor thinks.
Oh, look at that leverage move.
Saving himself with that leverage move
with that handful of tights.
As the Dragon...
I don't know, Jess, couldn't tell from my vantage point
that he rammed the steel post as well.
I couldn't tell either.
But he's hurting,
and Macho needs to do something right now.
Macho Man in control once again in this matchup.
A reversal, another reversal.
Oh!
Inadvertently rammed right into the referee.
Hebner's down and out.
Flows right by Savage.
Both men ripe for the picket, Jess.
But look at referee Hebner's down and out.
He's out of it.
Macho's going to the top.
He's going to the top.
If he hits him with the elbow, it's over.
Macho now poisoned his favorite position.
Bombs away.
One, two, three.
Where is that referee?
Dave Hebner is still out of it.
Macho's won this match, Macho.
Not done conscious.
There's Hebner now.
Macho Man just turned him over,
trying to slap a little life into him.
Macho's going up again.
He's going to really do him in though.
He's going out to them. What's he doing?
He's going out. Where's he going?
He's trying to get the bell away from the timekeeper.
That's how he originally
put the dragon out of commission, Jess.
He's going to do it again.
Hey!
Oh, there's the animal.
The animal snatches the bell.
And he gets nailed by the champion.
And Hebner just now
making it to his feet.
And Savage has got the bell back.
Give me a break. Look at that.
Flagrant interference from the outside.
The animal pushed him right off.
I think the bell
rammed Savage in the head, Jess.
But the champion's still in control.
Small package by the dragon.
No!
History has made.
You talk about a miscarriage of justice,
Matsu. Flagrant outside interference
on the part of animal steel.
History made here in the Silverdome.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the winner of this contest,
and
new Intercontinental Champion,
Ricky
the Dragon
Steamboat.
Stand in ovation by this capacity crowd.
Elizabeth was in tears.
Ricky the Dragon
Steamboat, the new Intercontinental
Heavyweight Champion.
Well, all I got to say, Gorilla Matsu,
is that Steamboat better cut that bell in half
and give half of it to
George the Animal Steel.
Because without Animal Steel's flagrant interference,
Macho Man Randy Savage
would have won. He had Steamboat
pinned for 30 or 40 seconds.
Deny that. But the referee was
out of it, Jess. I'm not denying that.
A miscarriage
of justice.
There he is. The reigning
Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion,
Ricky the Dragon
Steamboat, along with George the
Animal Steel.
I love it. This is
horrible. This is robbery.
Animal Steel should have never been
allowed out there. Let's go back and take a look.
Look at Hemner now. Hemner
was literally revived
by the Macho Man. Of course.
And look at this small package right in the center
of the ring. Three count
shoulders were down. But what they're not
showing there is Steel's flagrant
interference. And they're not showing Macho Man
after he dropped the big elbow. He
had the dragon pinned for 30 or 40
seconds. I grant you. However, there
was no referee there to make the count
a very despondent
former champion to Macho Man
and Elizabeth leaving
this silver dome
here in Pontiac, Michigan
without the gold around their
waist. Could Lightning strike
twice, Jess?
We're scheduled for one call.
Introducing in the ring from Antigua
in the West Indies
weighing 256
pounds, F.D.
Jones.
Oh, what?
I can read only
one thing, Jesse.
And soon to be making his way
to the ring area
accompanied by Elizabeth.
Oh, she's gorgeous.
She's beautiful.
Weighing in at
238
pounds,
the former
intercontinental
heavyweight champion
Randy
Macho Man coming.
As a Macho Man, you wonder how
he's gonna take being introduced
as the former champion.
Well, let me say this. I would not
like to be in F.D. Jones' shoes
right now because I feel like
this about Macho Man Savage.
I do not feel Steamboat
beat him for the title. What do you mean?
Much the same as
the Marvin Hagler-Sugar Ray Leonard
fight. Whoa.
Much the same. Whoa,
what's this? What's going on in the ring?
Don't you ever
or don't you ever
give me that smart mouth about
former intercontinental
heavyweight champion.
I'm gonna tell you
something right now.
In F.D. Jones, you might as well
listen to me.
I am the
uncrowned
intercontinental heavyweight champion.
And also
I'm the uncrowned
world heavyweight
champion. Oh, give me a break.
Come on. Let's have a relax
in here.
And I'm telling you,
don't you ever.
Whoa, all right.
Let's give him a head-butt. That's fucking honesty.
Let's see if he's had enough of that.
Well, I'll tell you what. Like I said, I think...
Oh, look at this. Up in the air.
Macho Man slammed out
into canvas. That's the way
you treat a former
intercontinental champion to the ropes.
Oh, look at that.
Well, it definitely took a submarine
sneak attack by F.D. Jones.
But to me, the Macho Man's just like
Marvelous Marvin Hagler. The man
is still the undisputed champion.
Only on your eyes, Jesse
Ventura. No, no. In the eyes of
93,000 people, plus who knows
how many million. F.D. with a left hand.
Oh, my. He's just all over
the Macho Man.
And the Macho Man, not having a very
good go of it here. His first appearance
on Superstars of Wrestling
is losing the intercontinental
title to, of course, the Dragon
Ricky Steamboat.
That was stolen from him.
Oh, wow. But look at that.
That shows you the resiliency of the Macho Man.
Coming right back. You cannot turn your back on
this man. He is not giving this...
He's a ferocious competitor. You're talking about
F.D. Jones?
Oh, no. It was F.D. Jones
that made the sneak attack from behind.
It was not the Macho Man.
It was F.D. Jones. And now he's
getting what he deserves.
Elizabeth with a look of concern
and her face much the same look we saw
when the Macho Man lost the title.
I'm tired of hearing the word lose.
This guy did not lose it. It was stolen.
F.D., back to the ring.
If you'll remember, McMan,
Macho Man has Steamboat pinned
for 33 minutes.
Wait a minute. From the top
of Randy Macho. Oh,
no. That's exactly what he did
to Steamboat, only this time there's a referee
there to count.
There was no referee in WrestleMania
when he pinned Steamboat for 37.
Here is the winner,
Randy Macho Man
Kelly.
He's going up again.
What is he doing? Get that man down from there.
Macho Man, there to contest you again.
F.D. for the ride
of all five.
The Macho Man
prevailing over special
delivery.
He's going to do it again this time.
All the way up, down to the outside.
The Macho Man
going across F.D.
I'll tell you what,
Randy Savage is making a statement
he's showing the world
that that was a fluke.
You wonder whether or not
the Macho Man, Randy Savage,
will be victorious this weekend.
As a matter of fact, tonight the Macho Man
takes on George the Animal Steal
in their final encounter in something
known as the Lumberjack match.
Here are perhaps some comments from George Steal.
George, Lumberjack
match, comments.
Boy, he knows a lot about it.
Well, I'm not too sure about that,
but I'm looking forward to their final encounter
this weekend. George Steal
with the Macho Man, all those men
surrounding the ring, we're going to have a final
victor with George Steal
and our Macho Man, Randy Savage.
It's hard to say. Wait a minute.
George tells me that you were trying to confuse him.
No, no, no, no, no way. He just does not
understand what the rules are in a Lumberjack
match and how dangerous it can be.
Don't worry about it. I'm here to take George to the ring.
After all, he was there to help me win my belt
in WrestleMania number three. So I'm there
to help him out. Come on, George.
Well, it's a very special
relationship with Ricky the Dragon, Steve
Bolton, George the Animal Steal.
Got to get you right here.
Let's go back to you, Vince.
You know, it really does kind of get you.
Jesse, where does it get you? Where does it get me?
I'm sitting on where it gets me.
In the ring right now, Hacksaw Jim
Duggan, one of the 15 Lumberjacks
surrounding the ring. He is
something else. Yeah, something else. Why?
Because he can run around with a two by four and hit
people. Well, he brought his Lumber
and it looks like it's being placed on the time
table. And now we hear
the music of Ricky the Dragon,
Steve Bolton. What a rivalry
this is. And this culmination,
this Lumberjack matchup,
George the Animal Steal
to face the Macho Man.
Now, what is Steve Bolton there for?
Is he a consultant to the animal?
I think maybe in this matchup, somewhat
yes. Let's face it,
I think the Lumberjack match takes a lot
of explanation as far as George
Steal is concerned. However,
the Macho Man knows exactly
what he's getting into. Let's take you to
main game. Alright, thank you Vince McMahon.
With me at this time, the former
Intercontinental Champion of the World, Randy Savage
along with his manager, Elizabeth.
What do you mean former Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion?
I'm the true Intercontinental Heavyweight
Champion forever.
Right, Randy. Right what?
Right champ. That's better,
yeah. You know, Randy Savage, I
don't understand a lot of things, including
why you would want to get in a Lumberjack match
with George Steal. You've got to be ripping.
First he kidnaps my manager, and then he costs me
the ton on WrestleMania III.
That's derelict, yeah. No escape.
Vengeance is mine.
Yeah. Alright, George the Animal Steal,
perhaps I can understand that, but what about Ricky
the Dragon Steamboat? He's going to be one of 15
men on the outside of the ring. How'd you deal
with him? He's going to be more factor
than I'm given every second of every day, yeah,
to the Dragon, yeah, until he
loses theater kind of way.
To the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
I need to get down that aisle.
Alright.
Come on. I'll tell you something.
I'm going to stay. His ego
is in peak condition. We're going to have
to see about the rest. Let's go back
to you, Vince.
The Macho Man should be making his way to the ring at any
moment, and in the ring, of course, right now
the Dragon, whoa, look at that, Hercules
hooking the ankle of the Dragon, hooking right
down. Anything can happen in this
Lumberjack matchup, and later on, we're going
to see the Dragon go toe-to-toe
with Hercules. Well, I think, obviously, Hercules
was trying to get the guy out of the ring
before he could interfere with the Macho Man.
Alright, here it comes out.
As the Animal, looking
on and loosing up and running
himself for, oh
yes, look how
lovely he
lives with this. Will you get your
mind on wrestling just once?
I mean, I think you could
commentate wrestling.
This is one of the classiest
ladies in all the world.
George the Animal Seal
certainly appreciates her beauty.
This ain't the Playmate Review, you know.
Look at George, he's looking at her right,
look at the Macho Man, George is coming a little
closer to Elizabeth.
Wait a minute, he's coming very close
to Elizabeth. Look at
him, he's molesting her. He
is not, he's what? Wait a minute,
the Macho Man, how are you
in the back of George the Animal Seal?
I can't blame the Macho Man for starting
the match before the bell. Did you see
Animal Seal calling at Elizabeth?
What I'm seeing right now is George
Seal taking care of business.
The Animal going after the Macho
Man. The Macho Man
going out to the floor. Yep,
well wait a minute. Uh oh.
Hercules brings him back around.
The Macho Man now, getting
disposed of throwing back in. Why don't
they throw him back into the ring? Oh no!
He had to get rid of his sunglasses.
Yeah, or the Bulldog just going
back in with the help of Peto Santana.
What are the Bulldogs doing over on
that side of the ring? Look, you're supposed
to throw the guy back into the ring. If he goes
out, did you see that?
You, George said.
The Macho Man out again. Peto
Santana the Bulldog coming right back.
He picked the wrong direction to go out of
that ring. Look, he's fighting. He is
not. He is fighting. George
Seal fighting. I don't see him fighting.
Now Henry Orton is back.
Uh oh, look it, even referee Dave Hefner
and Orton had to back off. He probably
just bit through.
The Macho Man taking over on George the
Animal Seal. Over there, not close to
Hatsaw Jim Duggan.
A little bit further down the line, Tom Zick
McMarkell and Ken Anthony.
And later on, they're going to be meeting
the Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff.
Look at Seal going flagrantly to the nose.
What's he trying to do? Tear Macho's nose off.
He might, I don't know.
This is a wide open
kind of affair. You know, the thing about
Seal is a mess with him. There is
virtually no wrestling hold. Look at
that. Stand tight on the bulldog.
Right back at it again. Macho Man back in.
And the Animal takes over.
Well, that's exactly what a lumberjack,
totally reversed it. Beautiful move by the heart of
the Macho Man. Very clever maneuver.
Here's a quick left hand down.
Seal tied into the ropes.
Back out. Now why is
they throwing him back in quicker? They're pushing him back in.
Oh yeah, leisurely. They got
him back in. Very leisurely.
By the Macho Man.
Macho Man driving the Animal back
to the ropes. And again.
There was a shoulder block by the
Macho Man. I hope Seal didn't eat
lasagna before the bout. If he did,
we may see it. The Animal now
moving back in.
On the Macho Man. What a
right hand by George the Animal Seal.
And another one.
Wide open. Anything
goes. And look at that.
Look at that. Kick to the midsection.
Macho Man going up.
Going all the way up to the top rope.
And that is where Randy Savage is
the most dangerous. Going up that top
rope. And
the Animal thrown through the ropes.
Oh wait a minute. Look at that. Look at that.
They're putting a boost to him.
The heart. All over him.
Wait a minute. Hacksaw Jim Duggan
coming in to rescue. Oh yeah. Running
for cover. Hacksaw running for cover.
Of course I would. Look at that.
Inside the ring with a 2x4. What business
does this guy got?
Oh he almost got the kick. Swinging around
with a 2x4. Trying to clunk everybody
inside. Look at that. He even pushed referee
Dave Heppner. All right. Well he gets a little
carried away. What do you want? What do I want?
I want the guy jammed. I want Jack
Honey to take that 2x4 and burn it.
Well there on the outside.
You see the Bulldogs in the heart. They're
going to go at it. They're going to go at it later on
in the title matchup. Right here
on Saturday night's main event.
Unfortunately for Duggan it looks like
he's going to be banned from the
ringside area in the Lumberjack
matchup. The Lumberjack matchup
will continue. We're going to have an end
to this wide world.
Things happening here in the World Wrestling Federation.
WrestleMania III marks the
29th, 1987. A day that's going to go down
in history. The largest crowd
ever to eye witness
an indoor sporting or entertainment
event. 93,173.
The official figure attending
WrestleMania III at the Silver Dome
in Pontiac, Michigan. It's a day that I'm certain
my guests at this time will not forget.
I'm talking about the former Intercontinental
Champion of the World, Macho Man
Randy. Nothing means nothing.
Nothing means nothing.
Nothing means nothing. What do you mean by that?
I'm talking about all the way to the top.
Yeah. Unjustifiably
in a position that I'd rather
not be in. But the cream
will rise to the top.
Oh yeah. Macho Madness
he has got more to offer
than President Jack Tony
thinks that I got. Yeah.
Let me tell you something right now.
Cards stacked against the Macho Man
Randy Savage in WrestleMania III.
Let me say it here. Let me say it out loud.
And let me point
to the President of the
World Wrestling Federation. The Macho Man
Randy Savage is not happy
with your decision. Yeah.
I am the cream in the
World Wrestling Federation. Wait, wait a second.
There is no doubt about it here.
You mean Gene Oakland. You know
that I'm the cream of the crop.
Wait a minute though Randy. I've got to ask
you very seriously. Do you blame Mr. Jack
Tony, the distinguished President of the
World Wrestling Federation for Ricky
Steamboat being the Intercontinental Champion today?
Yeah I do. Yeah. Outside interference.
Yeah. In my moment
of glory. Yeah I know. I'm living
a nightmare. And I am the
cream. And hell
not only the Intercontinental Heavyweight
Championship belt must fall.
But the World Heavyweight Championship belt.
Cause Hulk Hogan. Yeah.
I am the cream.
Yeah. The cream of the
crop. And there is no
one that does it better
than the Macho Man Randy Savage.
On balance, off balance
doesn't matter. I'm better than you
are. Yeah. And I'm talking to everyone
in the World Wrestling Federation.
And I'm even talking
to President Jack
Tony. Yeah. I'm on
my way. And
nothing is going to stop me.
Nothing is going to stop me.
You know just out of curiosity Randy and I
certainly don't want to diminish your tremendous
God given talents. But I'm very curious
I haven't seen Elizabeth lately. Yeah.
She's on the outside of the ring.
Does she interfere in matches? Yeah.
Nothing zero. Yeah.
Pure athlete. Yeah.
And I've been
blind. From the top
to the bottom.
And because they can't handle the Macho Man Randy Savage.
The cream of the crop.
Nobody does it better.
All right. A couple of men that he's going to be watching
very closely. Ricky Steamboat and most
assuredly the heavyweight champion
of the World Hulk Hogan. I thank you Macho Man
Randy Savage.
Jake the Snake Robert.
Freak out
freak out. Oh yeah.
Congratulations
to the honky
tonk man. The new winner
Continental Heavyweight Champion.
How do you like that Snake Robert?
You're happy that the honky tonk man
beat Ricky Steamboat. Oh yeah.
The new champion right there. Oh won't you
back up for a second man. Why don't you
just hold on. I've seen you
trying to save Steamboat from losing that title
once before. He could have ripped it
right there. But you didn't. Now you
saying you're glad the honky tonk man
won.
Oh Mr. Snake Robert
Macho Man and Macho Man
has got everything in proper perspective
yeah. Oh yeah.
I'm going to the top of the mountain now
and I'm going to take my place
in all time history.
Hulk Hogan, the Macho Man
Randy Savage. Just pointing
at you man. I'm going to be
the new world heavyweight champion.
You know what they say man
they say that the worst
curse in life is to have
unlimited potential.
And I think you're safe. I don't think you have
any kind of curse to worry about. You're on a
line right now. Macho
Madness will surpass
Hulkamania. And I'm not
promising that
I'm carrying ten that I will
take the title. You didn't take
Steamboat and now you're saying you're going to
take the biggest man out here?
Macho Madness
over Hulkamania
and you Hulkamania.
That's your number.
And your number is
two. And the Macho Man
Randy Savage's number is
one. And all you
got to be
stupid not to figure that out.
Macho Madness
will surpass Hulkamania
and I guarantee
Macho Man Randy Savage
will win the world heavyweight championship
belt.
I tell you brother, you believe in
yourself and that's important in life to believe
in yourself. But I'll tell you something
my man, just between you and
I, I don't think he's going to get it done.
You know what I mean? In no way
possible that I will not
take the title.
We're entering.
Good luck because I think he's going to
need it.
Alright there are so many things happening here in the World Wrestling Federation including the crowding of a new intercontinental champion the Honky Tonk Man and Jimmy Hart and him are really delighted. They are partying it up. I don't know if the gal Betty Lou is involved with the party or not. Come on in if you would please. Macho Man Randy Savage. I don't know if you could be happy about this or not. Honky Tonk becoming the new intercontinental champion.
And all of a sudden Ricky the Dragon Steamboat
is not. I'm delighted
about it. Oh yeah congratulations
let me throw my hand right
through the video scope. Yeah go on
do your rain, do your thing
but the Macho Man Randy Savage
understand
that I got things in proper perspective
now. Yeah you're looking at the future
of professional wrestling right now.
You're looking at the future of the World Wrestling Federation.
You're looking at the new World Heavyweight
Champion. Let me repeat myself right there.
I ain't repeating myself. Go ahead
and tell me something right now. Yeah
wait a minute you're telling me Macho Man Randy Savage
that you're going to be the new
Heavyweight Champion of the World. Don't you think
Hulk Hogan's got a little to say about
that? Do you have something to say about it Hulk Hogan?
Do you have something to say to the Macho Man
Randy Savage? Speak your piece
right now. I don't hear nothing
no. I don't hear nothing.
In fact I don't think there's nothing that he can say.
I don't believe he's here.
He's not here. That's too bad
yeah. But when you
man read me
in the ring for the World Heavyweight
Championship belt let me tell you what's going to happen.
No promises just guarantees.
The Macho Man Randy Savage
is going to win the World
Heavyweight Championship belt
around my waist. Yeah.
That's a fact. You know
for you to become a champion of one sort or
another here in the near future I wonder
Macho Man would that guarantee that I'd
be seeing Elizabeth back during these interview
sessions? Nothing's a guarantee
no. I'm on my way
now doing things my way
yeah. And when I'm the World Heavyweight
Champion I am going to continue
yeah continue to do things my own
way. Hulk Hogan yeah the
inevitable. The inevitable is
that I got your number and your
number is two yeah.
And you're looking at number one.
Don't lose your money man. Get on my good
side right now cause you're looking at the World
Heavyweight Championship. I always thought I was on your good side. You're not on my
good side. No the Macho
Madness bandwagon is going on
and on and on and on
and Hulkamania is here
down here. Wait
a minute. Surpassed by Macho
Madness and that's something that everybody's gonna have to
accept. Randy I'm getting some bad information
because in private conversations I've
had with Elizabeth in regards
to her tennis game. Private
conversations. She has told me
that you think very highly of me.
Don't worry about nothing.
No personalities come into effect
right now cause you're looking at the
New World Heavyweight Champion.
Yeah Hulk Hogan. How do you like that?
How about it? The Macho Man.
Randy Savage.
One of our lovely fedorents
let's go up the ring side.
This bout is scheduled for
one Paul. Introducing
in the ring in the corner to my right

pounds. Dave
Studemeyer.
The opponent

238 pounds
Randy
Macho Man
Savage
The Macho Man Randy Savage
accompanied and led by his manager
the very lovely, beautiful
woman
Elizabeth.
Another beautiful road for the
Macho Man. You're looking at about
50 grand worth
of road there
over the shoulders of the Macho Man
Randy Savage.
You get that feeling a little bit
jealous of him.
Well I see that she always
tries to out dress him. Oh please.
Ladies and gentlemen. I have
an important announcement at this time.
It is indeed my pleasure
to introduce a man
who has truly made his mark
here in the World Wrestling Federation.
He first appeared in
WrestleMania 1.
He returned in WrestleMania 2.
And now
it is my privilege to introduce to you
the one and
the only
Mr. T.
Oh surprise
appearance.
Mr. T.
Listen to the ovation
for Mr. T.
Look at the gold.
What is he doing here?
I don't know what he's doing here. Maybe we'll find out.
I didn't have a clue that he was coming out here.
Take a look. He looks in great shape too.
Mr. T.
Who went to the aid of World's Heavyweight Champion
Hulk Hogan.
On a number of occasions.
Oh there's shaking hands.
Let's see if he shakes hands
with the Macho Man.
They're looking at him.
I don't think we're going to see
a handshake here.
Look at Elizabeth. She didn't know what to do.
He better be careful.
He'll be in the hot
shop and all that gold.
I wish I could read lips. I'd like to know
what the Macho Man said.
T. looking him right in the
kisser.
Turned his back to him.
You show him Randy Macho Man.
Elizabeth a little bit funneled. She doesn't know
exactly what to do.
Now T. says I want to shake hands
or at least turn around and acknowledge
me. T. you're out of your element.
Back to Hollywood.
All he wanted to do was shake hands.
Obviously he goes through this
boutique of hair design.
Once again.
Mr. T.
He's got a standing ovation
here in this capacity crowd
here this week on Wrestling Challenge.
He's got to weigh around
380 with all that gold around him.
Who cuts his hair Ray Charles?
Looks good to me.
Obviously upset. Look at he's still
got his shades on. Give me a break.
He's a macho man.
Wow.
Planted that knee right in the kisser.
Savage now
really doing a number on David Scudamire.
He's going up with it. The shades on and the
headband.
Look at this. The patented
flying elbow.
Goodbye Mr. Scudamire.
Count up. One. Two.
Three. Yeah.
Just like the Scudamire became extinct
so did Scudamire.
The macho man Randy Savage.
Very impressive.
The winner of this bout.
Randy Macho Man.
Savage.
In his favorite position. Perched high
in the top turnbuckle.
Let's go back and take a look
at that patented flying elbow
as only he can do it.
I remember Scudamire said
it'll take a good man to beat me
but it won't take him long.
Right now let's go to our colleague
Brendan George who has with
him everyone's favorite
the jump guard dog.
This is the schedule for one ball.
In the ring to my right
from Van Nuys California
weighing 222 pounds.
Sonny
Rogers.
And his opponent.
To be reported for
drink slide by
Lee Elizabeth from
Star-Suggested Warrior
weighing 239
pounds.
Randy Macho
Man.
Look at Elizabeth.
A jump in the square of the crown.
For Elizabeth.
It's not for Elizabeth.
It's for the Macho Man.
It's definitely not for the Macho Man.
It is definitely for Elizabeth.
Elizabeth is nothing
but a manager without Randy Macho
Man Savage. Who would really care about
Elizabeth.
Other than an influence
like George Steele maybe.
A lot of people
care about
Up on the ring now.
On the road.
The Macho Man.
To start things off here this week.
From the superstars of wrestling.
I mean for a guy like Macho Man
good looking women are a dime a dozen.
I mean Elizabeth could be anybody.
If it wasn't for Macho Man
she wouldn't be nothing.
Ladies and gentlemen World Wrestling
Association Action returns to the great
state of Maine in Portland at the
Cumberland County Civic Center.
One week from Sunday the 12th of July.
A tremendous array of stars on the bill.
Including the Can-Am connection.
The Dream Team. Brutus the Barber Beef Cake.
And Tito Santana.
Not to forget Jake the Snake Robert.
All in Portland, Maine.
Cumberland County Civic Center Sunday night.
July 12.
Well you know Macho Man made a legal
break and he got penalized for it.
Wait a minute.
Off the top rope the Macho Man is down.
The cover. Two and he yanks him up.
Well maybe that's what you get for Cradle and the
Macho Man from behind. Now he's going to
punish him more.
Macho Man going up in the top rope.
Oh he took the back of
Roger.
I don't think it's stolen anyone.
Roger's thrown back in.
The Macho Man following up now.
I'll tell you I don't think there's a guy in wrestling
that uses aerial tactics any better
than Randy Macho Man Savage.
Perhaps not. The Macho Man
continuing to assault Roger.
Going out for the apron.
I think he's setting him up for the
elbow.
The Macho Man. Up on the top rope.
And two.
Into the chair.
We have one. Two.
And three.
I'll tell you I don't think
there's a more impressive move in all the
wrestling and more devastating
than Macho Man's elbow off the top rope.
The Macho Man Randy Savage victorious
with thousands upon
thousands in his capacity crowd
looking on the former
Intercontinental Champion.
Let's go back to the replay and take a look Bruno.
I'll tell you Macho Man looks absolutely
fantastic shaping. Completely dominated
by the Roger. Then when he gets down with that
elbow from the top rope. Let's just put the
finishing touches to it. And there's your bet.
You know Bruno I would like to see you
get hit with that elbow just once in your
career. Let's check you now for the update.
Scheduled for one fall.
In the ring to my left
from San Antonio, Texas.
Weighing 233
pounds.
Omar Atlas.
And his opponent.
Played for the ring by
Elizabeth from
Sarasota, Florida. Where is she?
Weighing 239 pounds.
Oh there she is.
Look at Elizabeth.
Wow. You talk about
pretty in pink.
That's the personification of
pretty in pink. I know.
She's such a lucky
woman. Because look at the clothes
Macho Man buys for her.
Look at what he spends on that woman.
The Macho Man.
You know
if it wasn't for Macho Man she'd be just
another pretty face and I'm a dozen.
Somehow
I doubt that Jesse.
Look at that Lettres
Bruno looking at her.
Everybody
is looking at Elizabeth.
Well you want to look at Macho Man
before his looks.
I prefer his talent.
Hey we're here to do wrestling
not some beauty contest.
Elizabeth happens to be
one of the brightest
individuals. One of the more
incisive.
You think she'd shred documents like
Born Hall?
I don't think I should
comment on that.
I bet you if Macho asked her to
she would.
Elizabeth
the manager of the Macho Man.
Former Intercontinental Champion
the Macho Man.
Boy what a classy lady Elizabeth
is. What a classy wrestler Macho
is.
Macho Man has extraordinary
sums of talent. There's no question
about it.
You know I know for a fact he's Clint Eastwood's
favorite wrestler.
I wouldn't be at all surprised.
One more Atlas in control.
And one thing I like
is Macho's always out for a challenge
because this Atlas is definitely no
push over.
Indeed not.
Atlas.
Oh baby.
Time to take a little
recollection here maybe.
Atlas caught the Macho Man
a little off guard. Where's the Macho going?
He's taking a big break.
He went out over the railing.
That's some serious
rest time when you go out there.
Looks like he's trying to push some space between himself
and more and more Atlas.
And that Atlas is impressing him a little bit.
Impressing him perhaps a lot.
Perhaps.
Atlas locking up again with the Macho Man.
Quickly to the midsection with a knee.
The Macho Man Randy Savage.
A scoop now. Savage. Oh my.
Macho Man.
From my vantage point of view as though that was a choco.
Hit by the bend
but he's got a counter five to break.
Macho Man.
He rammed the knee. This man I'll tell you one thing
means all business in the ring.
The Macho Man.
Double reversal back.
And a beautiful clothesline.
Wow. Yes that was done
quite nicely.
Power slam.
Where's he going?
Look at the agility of the Macho Man.
Unbelievable.
Look at the Macho Man.
Double the alpha.
And the count of two
and three.
There's nobody but nobody gets
up from that.
Here is your winner.
Randy Macho Man.
Come on.
Macho Man.
Randy Savage. Oh wow.
Most likely just speckled in
or two ladies.
We're going to find out whether or not Superstar
will accept the count of two.
The following bout is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing in the corner to my left
from Samoa.
Weighing in at 238 pounds
Sivi Alfi.
The opponent
soon to be entering the ring area
escorted by his manager
Elizabeth from
Sarasota, Florida.
Weighing 237
pounds
Randy Macho Man
Savage.
Look at the lovely
Elizabeth. Is she a beauty or what?
Look at the Macho Man new robe.
That is gorgeous.
We're looking at about 10 or 15
thousand dollars
away from her. Are you kidding on one side?
How would you know?
You've never owned anything like that.
Look at that.
I bet you there's 50,000 right there.
Macho Man or Randy Savage.
Everyone on their feet here.
This capacity crowd wants a good luck.
Elizabeth managed me.
Who would?
That piece of footage that you brought, brain
didn't prove a stinkin' thing.
Can you produce a contract
now? Wait a minute.
Has Hart?
Has Bougie? Has Johnny Vee?
Has Slip? Has anybody else
brought you any footage of Bam Bam Boogaloo?
I never asked them for it.
Well, I did. So that proves I'm in contact
with the man.
No, that only proves that you happen to get your
runny little hands on a piece of footage
of Bam Bam Boogaloo.
Are you insinuating?
I'm not insinuating.
I'm just stating it, all right.
C.B. Offy
tying up here
with the Macho Man.
Gotcha.
Oh, that's the wrong thing.
Macho didn't do his homework.
I wasn't in that footage.
They didn't run it long enough. They cut it out.
I know they did.
Nice spinning
head scissors going for it again.
He got it with it again.
Nice
shoulder lock by C.B. off the ropes.
The youngsters got speed
going to the outside.
Uh-oh, this might be an upside here.
Taking a page right out of the book
of the Macho Man.
He's way up there.
He don't know where he is now.
Oh, real. He may need some Ramajel.
He's got a real headache.
Savage now
sensing it. Look at his 360
job.
Right over the top.
And Savage now with about an 18 foot
leap coming up down to the
arena floor. Bombs away.
Nailed him and drove him right into
the steel barricade.
This man is a rough customer.
It's only a question of time
in my book before there's some more
trouble around the waist.
I'll have to agree with you on
that. Some of the things he does
are very unethical.
Doesn't matter.
He's the Macho Man.
Really got things going his way
right now.
At the early part of this match
C.B. off he had control but
that's long gone.
Awesome knee drop.
He's going to be.
Oh no.
Junked him up. Could have had a
three count there.
As Elizabeth looks concerned on
why.
That's the Macho Man.
I know.
Perched up there.
Flying elbow.
Yes.
Good night. C.B. off.
Wow.
Elizabeth big smile on her face.
Well not really.
She's still a little concerned Frank.
I think the whole sport of professional wrestling
I think she's scared.
Well maybe she is.
The winner of this belt.
Randy Macho Man.
Heavens.
Oh I'd be a little concerned if I were her.
How many times have we seen the Macho Man
trying to humiliate her.
Well she should be putting her plate.
What a force here in a world wrestling
federation referring to the Macho Man
Randy Savage. It is indeed
just a question of time
as to when some goal will be around
the waist of that particular gentleman.
He's certainly a dynamic individual.
Jake the Snake
Roberts.
There is no doubt
that in my mind
that the dangerous
the most dangerous of all human
traits is the trait of
jealousy. Jealousy will make
a man beg. It make a man borrow.
Make a man steal. It'll make a man
lie and cheat.
Now our next guest this week
he's a special case.
I'm talking about the former
intercontinental
heavyweight champion.
Randy Macho Man Savage
and his lovely manager
Mr. Elizabeth.
He will take his time
coming out.
Look at you huh.
All dressed up man and no
place to go. Look at you all dressed
up. And you talking to the
premier wrestler in the world
wrestling federation.
And that ain't no lie. That is all
true. That is former
intercontinental as in
past. And you don't even need
to use that word right there. Just
the Macho Man Randy Savage
is the coup de grace
of all wrestling.
And that's a fact. If you are
the thing that's happening take it easy.
It's all right brother. He won't do
nothing unless I ask him to you know.
I want you to know something.
The talk around town
is that
check it out now. The talk
around town by Jimmy Hart
is that the Macho Man
the reason he is the
former intercontinental champion
and the reason that
Honky Tonk is the intercontinental
champion is that Honky Tonk is
just this much better than you are.
You know I believe
that you're giving me
a lot of unrequested
information. I just thought
you want to know the truth man. What's being said
about you. Unbelievable.
Let me say this.
Snake Roberts and your friend
right here use visual
imagery. Space is
the place. The sky is the
limit. Nothing stops
the Macho Man Randy Savage
and no wrestler.
No wrestler.
Honky Tonk man.
Hulk Hogan. Nothing.
You're saying you're going to go out and take it all
there. I can do that man because
I got the power to do that.
Yeah. Let me ask one final question
here but let me ask Miss Elizabeth here.
What do you think of much
of Honky Tonk man?
You don't have to think Snake Roberts.
Get it through your head and
realize that I am the
future of the WW.
No doubt about it.
Elizabeth.
You're saying you take what you want then.
Unrequested information is
what you've given me.
This contest is scheduled
for one fall.
Currently in the ring from Brooklyn, New York
weighing 248
pounds. Steve
Lombardi.
And his
opponent
from Saratoga, Florida
weighing 239
pounds.
Oh yeah. Randy.
Look at Elizabeth.
She is gorgeous.
The Macho Man.
The former Intercontinental Champion.
You know, I think
Macho Man sticks a bit soft.
He's like Elizabeth walking
front. What is this?
Well, I'll tell you.
Why would a Macho Man
I think I'd like a view from both sides.
The front as well as the back.
Along the side as well. She's always
walking behind him. I want to find out what's going
on here.
The Macho Man.
What a competitor.
Some are cheering him. Some are blowing him.
But nonetheless, you can take nothing away from this man's
credentials as far as his ring
skills are concerned. Oh, without a doubt.
I'll tell you. With aerial tactics
there's not a more devastating wrestling
wrestler in the world. And nobody
comes off that top rope with the elbow
any better than this guy does.
You don't think he's going to wrestle with the glasses on, do you?
Well, I'll tell you. He's cool enough. He maybe can.
Yeah.
Maybe Elizabeth ought to put them glasses on.
No, she can't look any better. You wouldn't want to
hide those gorgeous looks of Elizabeth.
The Macho Man starting things off
with Steve Lombardi.
Macho Man locking
right up. Up against the top rope.
And no clean break. No.
Not too likely to see a clean
break on the part of the Macho Man.
He can take advantage of every opportunity.
As well you should in there. This is professional.
You're out there to win. You do
what it takes to win.
Lombardi
on the top rope and
not quite back off. Earlier on we asked
Elizabeth why she was not in the
running for Bam Bam Bigelow.
Bam Bam perhaps the hottest
property in all professional
wrestling. Elizabeth is not in the
running. Why?
Well, I'm sure that Bam Bam is a great
wrestler. But I'm just not sure
he's the hottest property in professional
wrestling. I think the Macho Man
is.
Well, I'll say one thing.
She's certainly loyal. Well,
I gotta ask Bruno. Do you concur with that
Bruno? Well, yes. I agree with her
as far as her point of view. Because why
shouldn't she think that of her man? I feel
he's been Intercontinental Champion. He's still
a great athlete. Why should she not
think that way? I think it's very
appropriate. You know, another thing I would say
with this. She's managing one individual.
She can certainly maintain all of her
interests on one guy. Look at this Lombardi
with a cover on the Macho Man. Only two
is what he can get. Yeah, but that's
bad too, though, McMahon. Because if you have
more wrestlers, that means you get more
money if you're getting a percentage from it.
Well, OK. But again, let's speak to that
because Elizabeth is not greedy. I mean,
take a look at Hena. I wouldn't necessarily
say that. Look at him.
Rowan. Steve Lombardi's
giving the Macho Man a lesson.
Wow, Macho Man.
He's over the top rope.
Back up on his feet.
Encouragement by Elizabeth. And the Macho Man
could have very well broken a rib.
Now take a look at Elizabeth's
dress. That costs a lot of money.
Obviously, she lives in high style.
Macho Man with a knee lift.
Well, he is tenacious.
You get on the wrong side of the Macho Man
and you have trouble and big trouble.
Well, the one thing about Macho Man is he's
not afraid to carry a match out to the floor.
Wait a minute.
That's exactly where he's headed.
From the top rope. Pull!
Across Lombardi.
Lombardi.
Heaved into the ring. The Macho Man.
Back up on the apron.
Back up. Look at that.
Pulls wide.
Macho Man. He's going up.
He's going up.
Macho Man now on the top rope.
Getting ready to come down with the elbow up
and pull.
We have won two
and three.
Here is your winner.
Randy
Macho Man
coming.
The Macho Man
Randy Savage victorious.
The madness, yes.
Alright, here we go back down.
You know this Macho Man is always
in such good condition because
it's always a tough test for anybody.
But because of his good condition in here
you can't hold him back. And when he comes up
the top rope with that elbow
as Jesse says, nobody does it quite like
him and here's another victory.
The Henry
Pioneer, the Macho Man
as we take you now to the update.
The Macho Man is
beautiful this week.
Macho Man
coming.
Then again she's beautiful every week.
Savage is
getting soft. He's left her walking
front. I can't believe that.
How big soft about this man
when he steps in the net ring
and you have to concur with that.
A tremendous ovation for the
Macho Man.
Macho Man being assisted
by his manager Elizabeth.
I'll tell you
Elizabeth always looks where you
stop talking. Can't you get off of
Elizabeth for just 30 seconds?
We're here to do wrestling
McMahon, not the playboy playmate review.
I would hardly put
Elizabeth in that category. She's far
in a way something else beyond
that. But right now
Tiger Chung Lee
big monster from Korea.
This should be a great matchup.
Macho Man and Tiger Chung Lee.
Both individuals
capable of bending and outright
breaking the rules if necessary.
Sort of a Jesse
Benjira win and all cost
philosophy. That's definitely how you
go into the ring. You don't pansy and
pansy foot around like Sam
Artino did. No worry about
cheers from the fans and whether you're
accepted.
Honky tonk man if you'll recall
last week was talking about he was the greatest
intercontinental champion of all time.
You remember him saying that didn't you Jay?
And he might well be.
Well we asked Elizabeth
hurt thoughts. We asked her for
hurt thoughts about that comment
of being the greatest of all time.
Well I really can't agree with what the honky
tonk man says. Plus I don't
even like his style.
I can tell you Elizabeth.
What makes two of us. What would Elizabeth
know anyway. She's an airhead.
Far from it.
Down to there the macho man
and Tiger Chung Lee
seesaw battle here in this matchup.
Would you concur with Elizabeth as far
as the style of honky
tonk is concerned with it. Well I think
the honky tonk man so far has proven to be
a worthy champion. But naturally here's
a macho man who was intercontinental champion
for quite a while. Now who would we expect
Elizabeth to believe
that honky tonk man is the best. First of all I don't think
he is. I think macho man was a better
intercontinental champion. Now isn't
that something. Well I believe that.
I'm sitting here listening to Bruno you
physically attacked that man at one time.
Oh my.
Bruno San Martino attacked
that guy and now he's telling me what a great
champion he was. I attacked him at the time
when I felt it deserved so. We're talking
about who was intercontinental champion
how long got to defend their title
and so forth. Leopards changing their spots
right. Is that what it's called?
Right now it's called the macho
man and Tiger Chung Lee having
a battle in that ring. You guys ain't getting
off that easy. When I was saying
why you interrupted
me when I was saying how great macho man
was I had to fight with you two out here.
Now all of a sudden you're singing praises
about him. Hey like you said before
maybe we're getting too much like you Jess.
I would hate to. I would hate to think
of that too.
Randy Savage.
It's all over if he lands.
Savage in possession.
Leap from the rope.
One, two, three.
A tremendous capacity
crowd on the street for the macho
man. Randy Savage.
Let's go back to the replay.
No let's stay here and watch a little bit.
Come on McMahon.
Well this was a tough match.
No question about it. Chung Lee is a
tough customer but then again
Savage at the end proved to be
that. And here he comes.
Fantastic here Savage.
Come up at top rope. Look at this.
Wow what an elbow drop.
Right on Chung Lee and of course
that was enough to keep Chung Lee
down for a ton of free.
the hunky-dopters out of prison.
All right, for the benefit of those of you
who did not hear the hunky-dopters last week
and his boastful comments,
here's what the hunky-dopters had to say.
Some of you didn't hear what I said last week
when I said I was the greatest intercontinental heavyweight champion
of all time.
Some of the former champions are a little bit upset, I understand,
namely Macho Man Randy Savage.
Well, let me tell you this, Macho Man.
You can't wrestle as good as I can,
and you can't sing,
and you sure can't dance like a hunky-dopter, man.
Well, he made a lot of guys upset, Brian.
Not me.
Pat Patterson, former champion, he made him upset.
Easy to make him upset.
Pedro Morales.
C.
Magnificent Morocco, former champion.
And, of course, Tito Santana.
Wabamba.
And the Macho Man Randy Savage was the one
who was bent out of shape the most.
And I don't blame him.
Here's a guy that's only held the title for a few months,
and all of a sudden he's claiming to be the greatest intercontinental champion
of all time.
But you can see greatness in the man.
I mean, all those other guys were great champions,
but Hunky-Don can sing, he can dance, he can do it all.
I'll tell you how bad Savage feels about this.
Let's go to this special piece of footage.
Hold on!
Did you hear?
Where's the hunky-dopter?
I don't know!
Where's the hunky-dopter?
I don't know!
He's not here!
Tell me something right now!
I don't know, I don't know!
You give him a message for me.
Okay, okay!
Randy Savage, you understand that?
You tell him to shut up.
You tell him to shut up about me, you understand that?
I'll tell him, I'll tell him!
Okay, you sit down.
I'll tell him, I'll tell him!
You better shut him up!
I'll tell him, I'll tell him!
Come on, hot dog!
He can't prove this to me, who does he think he is?
I'll tell the hunky-dopter, man, you're going to be sorry!
I promise you this, if hunky-dopter was here, you wouldn't do this to me, Randy Savage!
I'll tell you that right now.
He wouldn't do this to me, I'm telling you.
Look at my glasses, look at my glasses, look at my outfit!
Look at my outfit!
You're going to be sorry!
Colonel, obviously upset.
Man, sitting in the dressing room, relaxing.
Here's Savage coming in.
You're going to be sorry!
Here's Savage, because he puts his sweaty meat hooks on the man.
He weighs the man by a hundred pounds.
Don't you think that the Colonel has anything to do with what comes out of the mouth of the hunky-tonk man?
Well, then do it to somebody.
If you've got guts enough to walk in a man's dressing room, you can go right up to the hunky-tonk man.
He was looking for him.
Oh, he knew hunky-tonk wasn't there.
Good thing you're not managing the hunky-tonk man.
I happen to have another letter.
Oh, yeah?
Go ahead and read it.
Who's that one from?
Probably from you.
I love you as host.
Five more actions, still to come.
We'll be right back.
Bobby Heenan, yes.
Hello, everyone.
Who is the greatest intercontinental champion of all time?
Well, if you ask the hunky-tonk man or Jimmy Hart, it probably won't be hard to guess their answer.
But if you ask other people, you probably get as many opinions as there are rhinestones on an Elvis outfit.
Well, hunky-tonk has gone a step farther recently in his nonstop narcissistic spew of self-praise.
And he's begun to point out ex-champions by particularly naming Randy Macho Man Savage.
Some of you didn't hear what I said last week when I said I was the greatest intercontinental heavyweight champion of all time.
Some of the former champions are a little bit upset, I understand, namely Macho Man Randy Savage.
Well, let me tell you this, Macho Man.
You can't wrestle as good as I can, and you can't sing, and you sure can't dance like a hunky-tonk man.
Well, we played that comment to Savage's manager, the lovely Elizabeth.
And here's what she had to say.
Well, I really can't agree with what the hunky-tonk man says.
Plus, I don't even like his style.
As you know, Elizabeth's style and manner of communication is a bit different than the Macho Man's.
And when Savage heard about hunky's outlandish statements, he responded in typical macho form.
We pick it up in the locker room area.
How am I supposed to be hurt?
Where's the hunky-tonk man?
I don't know. He's not here.
Tell me something right now.
What do you want to know? I don't know. I don't know.
You don't have to inform me.
You're okay. You're okay.
Randy Savage, you understand that? You tell him to shut up.
You tell him to shut up about me. You understand that?
I'll tell him. I'll tell him.
You're okay. You sit down.
I'll tell him. I'll tell him.
You better shut him up.
I said, I'll tell him.
Come on, hot dog.
He can't do this to me. Who does he think he is?
I'll tell the hunky-tonk man, you're going to be sorry.
I promise you this. If hunky-tonk was here, he wouldn't do this to me, Randy Savage.
I'll tell you that right now. He wouldn't do this to me.
I'm telling you. Look at my glasses. Look at my glasses. Look at my outfit.
Look at my outfit. You're going to be sorry.
Boy, the big kennel is heating up.
The battle between the Macho Man, Randy Savage, and the hunky-tonk man.
And recently, a Savage match took place.
And the brain and I are fortunate enough to be at ringside.
Let's go to the match.
Yeah.
From Sarasota, Florida, weighing 239 pounds,
Randy, Macho Man, coming.
Look at the beautiful Elizabeth.
Gorilla Mountain soon hit ringside, but Bobby the Brain hit it for this WWF matchup.
This guy is destined to start it.
I want you to watch something about Macho Man Savage.
He's not the same Savage you saw a couple months ago.
This man has something burning inside of him.
He's become sick.
The gold is not around his waist anymore.
Listen to the ovation for him.
Former Intercontinental Champion looking to regain that title.
And of late has had some very derogatory things to say and do
about the champion and current champion, the hunky-tonk.
Well, I think he's jealous because the Macho Man feels that the hunky-tonk man is right.
The hunky-tonk man is the greatest Intercontinental Champion that ever lived.
How could you possibly make it?
How could the hunky-tonk man possibly make that statement?
It's only been a couple of months since he won the title.
But can't you tell the man?
Now, see, Savage had the title.
He was a wrestler.
This man can hunky-tonk and sing.
He can dance.
He can play instruments.
That's what makes him the greatest.
You're a sick person, man.
I am. Look at that guy in there.
He needs psychiatric help.
Omar Atlas needed help as well.
Look at that elbow by the Macho Man.
Did you get a good look at Elizabeth when she came down?
She is a lovely person.
Is she not?
You can't deny that.
I'm not saying she's not.
I don't care whether you've got your face on the cover of the WWF magazine or not.
You've got to tell the truth when it comes to things like that.
She is prettier every day.
Of course, I don't know what she's doing hanging around with a dark face like him,
but that's her business.
Oh, let me mark that down.
What are you doing now?
Give him a chance to talk to the Macho Man about that.
He's not that great a looking guy.
I mean, you know that.
People who live in glass houses shouldn't be throwing any rocks.
Yeah, and...
Suplex coming up.
Oh, nailed it with it.
Well executed.
Hey, I'm on the cover of the book.
He's not.
I understand that.
You heard that someplace, didn't you?
Well, you can't buy too many copies.
They told me you glommed them all up.
How to sell an item.
They're going to put a copy in the Smithsonian.
Oh, please.
They're going to make it a classic.
Your dream.
Like the old Life magazine.
You're dreaming. You're dreaming.
You're in a dream world.
Savage continuing the onslaught here on Omar Atlas.
His referee, Dave Hebner, tries to get him out of the corner.
Macho Man, all too willing to oblige.
He is a mechanic inside that ring brain.
You got to give him that.
He's intense.
He's a competitor.
And he's a winner.
Nobody does that flying elbow off the top turnbuckle quite like he does.
Now, I believe if Honky Tonk wanted to attempt that move.
Give it away, please.
He could do it better.
Give me a point.
I'll give the Honky a little bit of credit.
He did better on the elbow pile driver than I thought he would.
Oh, look out.
Omar close feet ahead into the corner.
Nobody home.
A move like that could be the beginning of the end.
Whoa.
Hard down to the floor here.
Uh-oh.
Oh, look at this.
Perched up there some 18 to 20 feet high.
Bombs away.
Double axe handle right on the back of the neck.
That should be an illegal move, I think.
Excedrin headache number 35.
Savage rolling him back inside, setting him up here.
Uh-oh, put him right where he wanted him, brain.
Look out.
All the fights out of Atlas now.
Going to the top.
Get a good look at it.
Nobody doesn't like that.
Turned the hot shower on.
This one's history.
Wow.
What an impressive victory.
Red Day.
Muncho Man.
Savage.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is a non-title matchup.
It is scheduled for one fall.
Soon to be approaching ringside, the individual who will be led
to talk the ring by his manager, Colonel Jimmy Hart.
And here he is from Memphis, Tennessee, weighing 255 pounds,
the reigning intercontinental heavyweight champion,
Muncho Man.
Number one.
Hart back in the runway area there.
Almost took a crack at Pedro Morales with his guitar.
He's obviously very nervous.
Very high stride.
He should be nervous.
This is going to be the confrontation of his hard time.
Well, Jimmy Hart is very nervous.
He's not whether or not he can come about on his mess.
But it's good to be nervous.
It shows you're very alert.
It's not about trying to be nervous.
Got a big smile on his face.
Can't say much about his singing or his dancing,
but he certainly knows what to do inside that square.
Forget all the dancing.
Forget the singing.
You're right, Gorilla, he does.
He proves himself time and time again.
Everybody told it would be a short courtship with that title,
but he's held it, and he's become united with it.
And his opponent,
to be accompanied towards the ring by his manager,
Elizabeth of Tarantula,
weighing 239 pounds,
he hasn't hit the runway yet,
and there are no penis run here in Madison Square Garden,
and look at the lovely Elizabeth.
She's a beauty.
Isn't she, Gorka?
She certainly is.
What a fine, what an acquisition
97 made when he selected her to manage his affair.
Listen to the welcome, Jimmy the Macho Man.
They love him now.
This is gonna be a classic.
You know something, Gorilla,
you have to take your hat off to Jimmy Hart,
because somehow or other,
he managed to get that tiny little phrase
out of the contract title match.
I think that was a very, very piece of,
what could you say, brinkmanship by Jimmy Hart?
Absolutely.
In fact, that's the only way he would sign for the match.
Yeah, but he did it.
Title or non-title, this is gonna be a war.
This is a vendetta now.
So many bad words have passed between these two.
Got so far that the honking tongue man
even made some derogatory remarks about Elizabeth.
Yeah.
Savage looks ready, and the honking tongue man does not.
No, he wasn't ready.
He wasn't ready at all.
Savage is so keyed up, so tight, so tense, so tall.
I'm sure he'll work this out of his system
in a couple of minutes.
I've never seen Savage look so good.
He's overcome.
Right out over the top, right after him.
Coming around the corner, and Elizabeth has to run as well,
and right into Jimmy Hart.
Macho Man finally caught him.
Cranks a couple right between the eyes.
He's got him back inside.
Got caught on the way back in.
Yeah, a mistake there in his eagerness
to get to honking tongue.
He made that mistake.
Don't let that man get in before you,
and yet he actually threw him in.
Honking tongue, it doesn't have to take a back seat.
There are too many guys when it comes to what you can do
inside that square circle.
As far as his singing and playing,
that's a force of another color.
Oh, put his head down.
Can't do that with a guy that has the experience
of the Macho Man.
So far, I'm really surprised.
Look at this.
Oh, what a good move by Savage.
Those men made a tiny mistake at the offset of this matchup,
but I think they're going to rectify all those mistakes now.
Drag him outside.
Randy did.
I guess he really doesn't care too much about
honking tongue or anything like that,
because the title's not on the line.
No, and he wouldn't bother about that too much at all.
In any case, he wants that as such.
Exactly, exactly.
He wants to punish honking tongue
for all those disparaging remarks,
all the humiliation,
and everything that him and Malthus Downs have said
and are continuing to say about him and Elizabeth.
Prove something to that little pitch squeak
as the brain refers to it.
No love lost there between them.
Absolutely.
Beautiful elbow.
Well played.
You are finished, man.
This guy ain't nothing to do with it.
Look at him.
Here he comes.
He's going to get blubbered.
Look out.
Elizabeth running once again.
Blocked there.
Oh, he's so around, so sharp.
He wants, at your right-hand moment,
you can never count honking tongue.
Elizabeth was being humiliated
to the south and assault the colonel
as we see him with that horrid megaphone once again.
I don't know why Harvey's saying things
to Elizabeth I really don't know,
but that's not good form.
That's definitely not on.
Look at him.
Oh, there he goes.
Come on.
Oh, come on.
Watch your back.
He went straight first into the concrete.
And this gives Savage a golden opportunity
to show what he's worth.
Macho Man.
Look at this speed.
Dropped him with that elbow right between the lines.
Macho Man looking terribly sharp.
Oh, his moves are so fast, so well executed.
The colonel is out of sight.
There he is.
Holding his head with eccentric headache,
number 42.
Reversal and another reversal.
Another reversal there.
Nobody home on that one.
Now showing all that experience
that gained him as I can see this.
The look on Elizabeth's face.
He's glad that the colonel is down and out of it.
Yes, she was rattled.
Chased her around.
She definitely did.
He didn't prove himself to be much of a man there, did he?
Absolutely not.
Savage down on the concrete.
But on his feet.
Gorilla, this battle has swung three or four times already
in the space of these opening minutes.
First it was in the favor of Macho Man.
Hockey top then back again and back again.
And now hockey top comes up.
Well, both of these guys have tremendous ability.
Tremendous intestinal fortitude are in great shape.
And look at this.
Use them for a punching bag now.
Oh, he's tied up.
Oh, Elizabeth is smart.
Big smile.
Elizabeth very concerned
at this particular point in time.
And rising so.
All through this, Elizabeth has been terribly concerned.
Her man's in trouble.
Put in time, Hockey.
Put in time.
Referee Dick Grohl making an attempt here
to turn Savage loose.
Careful up there.
Stalling his stuff and his stuff.
Maybe we'll get to see the shape of Robert Grohl.
Well, he's tried to show us before.
As we look right over the shoulder
of that despicable individual right there.
Beautiful. Beautiful.
Yes, we're definitely getting a mouthful of stuff.
Eye view of what's happening in the ring
and his man is on top.
A mouthful of stuff.
Very happy.
Colonel has to be the greatest walking advertisement
for birth control I've ever seen in my life.
Count, count, count.
Doing what he wants and taking his time doing it.
And I believe beginning to enjoy it now.
He's done it.
Right at him, right down there.
Looking very, very confident and relaxed now.
The Monty Tonk man.
Beautiful.
Now you've got it, baby.
Now you've got it.
Devastating.
Right over the shoulder,
another beautiful shot of Elizabeth.
Well, maybe he's thinking about giving up the Colonel.
And look at this.
Uh-oh, pinching his hair for Elizabeth.
Oh, what is he doing?
Is he trying to talk to Elizabeth?
What is he doing?
I think he's...
Is that some sort of talking dance
or something he's doing?
I don't know what it is.
Look out.
Come on, come on.
Coming around the corner.
Oh, the other from behind.
And rams him.
Right into the ring apron.
And now into the steel railing.
Shoots him back inside.
Honky Tonk's only had every advantage now.
Come on, Honky.
Come on, baby.
Just when you think Savage is out of this,
he's right back in it.
And he was ogling Elizabeth,
and Savage came up and caught him from behind.
Now he's draping the Honky Tonk man over those ropes.
And he's tied up in there.
Wide open.
Tell him, referee, don't let him out.
Let me take care of him.
One, two.
Oh, you look out on my front while he's in there.
Great chokehold by Savage.
Referee probably does turn loose, Honky.
In for the ride.
No, bring it into a sunset.
Pulling on the tights here.
Can he get the leverage with that?
Yes, I think he is.
No.
Nail right between the eyes.
Oh, come on.
Savage.
Dougie Hughes in there.
Refused.
Come on.
He's on the apron again.
And this time he's inside.
Whoa.
Look at this.
Honky with the megaphone.
Outside.
From behind.
Whoa.
Watch out.
He clobbered up.
Just nailed him right in the back of the head with that megaphone, and he is down.
What a despicable display.
Grabbed him right into the ringside seating area.
That check.
I can't believe they both weren't counted out.
They were out there an awful long time.
I believe Randy's out there.
Try to help her, man.
Honky's got to get the man back.
Got to give him a chance to get back inside.
I believe he looks like he's trying.
You got him, Honky.
Honky now really doing damage to the macho man.
This is not going to help him in any sort of title that he may want to make.
Savage has got to pull himself together.
I've seen him in worse shape than this before, Your Lordship, and still be able to reach
down inside for that little something extra.
Elizabeth pleading.
She's asking him not to go back in, I believe.
Wide open now.
Savage was saying, get me back in, get me back in.
Honky Tonk just leveling him.
Savage obviously thinks he can still do it.
He's not going to make it.
High cross body.
Down.
2-0.
Good job.
Honky Tonk still very strong.
Come on, put it to him, baby.
Now you've got to get going, Honky.
What a move as the macho man just kicks it up out of nowhere.
Got that adrenaline flowing, but now is out of receiving that once again.
Put it to him.
Work on him, work on him, work on him.
He did show a lot of being able to reach Aliato, so maybe there's some more left in him.
Indeed, there is.
Honky was going downstairs, didn't prove to be to his advantage, as things have turned
once again in this one, and both men at this particular point in time, right for the pickets.
Absolutely.
Savage was looking for a little respite there.
Didn't get enough time.
Honky was able to come back a little stronger than Savage, but even so, he is now beginning
to go down on those gas tanks.
They're beginning to run a little bit empty.
Look at this.
Honky on the second burn buckle from the inside.
Oh, what a shot right to the forehead.
He's got him now.
Savage right over it now.
I'm afraid this is it.
Another great recovery here by Savage.
Where does he find this extra energy and strength from?
Honky Tonka's really paced in him.
He's giving himself a hard time.
Double clothesline.
Both men down.
But Honky, the stronger of the two managers, a couple of Savage.
Close that time, almost a three count.
Savage reaching down to that little extra that Gorilla said he possesses.
And on the outside.
Oh, look at that.
Shake round the road coming up.
Can he nail him with it?
No, he couldn't get it.
Watch him turn it into a backdrop for himself.
Honky wasn't in a week after all that.
But he's still on the offense.
Oh, blocked by Randy.
A very critical drop there by Randy.
Block again.
Come on, Honky.
Oh, what an elbow.
Look out.
Going to the top.
He's all the way up there.
Not sure where he is.
He nailed him.
And Honky, fortunately for him, and unfortunately for Savage.
He's going up again.
It may not be.
Savage looking to finish him off.
Look at this shot.
At least 15 to 18 feet high.
He nailed him with another double axed handoff.
Both men outside.
Savage wants him back in the ring and he's got him.
Savage wants a clean pin on this, I believe.
Scoops him up.
He places him exactly where he wants him.
He's going up for that finishing one.
Savage wants a clean one, two, three.
And if he gets it...
That patented elbow.
Here it comes.
If he connects, it's goodbye.
He nailed him.
One, two, he got him.
He was a victory there for Savage.
He almost scored how great he is.
He's the champion, flat out.
Conclusion for the victory.
Randy The Monster Man.
Let's all go and be here to congratulate the Monster Man,
Randy Savage, with this impressive victory.
Although a non-title matchup, the title will not change hands,
but what a thunder in his hands.
Oh, my word.
What a victory.
Take care of him.
And he loves him.
And everybody loves him.
Look at these two running with their tails between their legs.
They have had it.
As the former Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion,
The Monster Man proved to everyone what he said.
Absolutely.
And this is legal.
And he couldn't get it back to me.
Absolutely.
I'm sure that that was a stipulation in this non-title matchup
that it was 1991 before he said he would get a part in the championship.
Back to that great pinnacle that he explained before when he was the champion.
Elizabeth looking after him.
I believe he's looking around for something.
Could it be this?
Elizabeth there.
In this part, she's coming around here.
There he is with the gold.
Unfortunately, it does not belong to him.
It does not belong to the Hockey Club man.
And to the Colonel Jimmy Hart who did everything under his power
to put him away.
He knows that, but he's using it as a symbol of victory
and his domination over the champion.
He's walking out of here with the gold, but he won't be able to keep it.
A great victory.
Talk about excitement.
Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to my guest,
manager of Mouth of the South, Jimmy Hart,
and the reigning Intercontinental Champion,
the Honky Tonk Man.
Now gentlemen, as I understand it, the reason we have you here
is so that you can deliver on a promise, Honky Tonk Man.
Last week you said, and you would give us ten good reasons, man,
are ten good reasons why you are the greatest Intercontinental Champ
and much better than Randy Macho Man Savage ever was.
Are you ready to deliver?
Reason number one, not that it really matters,
but I've become a big singing star now.
I'm even a better singer than Elvis Presley was.
I've got the number one hit song on a new wrestling album,
Piledriver, called Honky Tonk Man, and it's done by me.
Reason number two, I have the best manager in the whole wide world.
I've got a man for a manager.
I've got the Mouth of the South, Jimmy Hart,
the greatest manager of all time.
And reason number three, not that it really matters.
I want to tell you something right now.
You're looking at the greatest Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion
of all time, yeah.
And listen, Big Mouth, people with Big Mouth get themselves in big trouble.
You want to wake up with a Macho Man, just hang over,
you keep doing the thing, and you'll find out why, yeah.
Well, I've just been waiting on the day that I can wrestle you, Macho Man,
because I don't think you're the greatest of all time.
Unbelievable.
I don't even think you said what you said, but that's the thing right there.
To the Macho Man, Randy Savage.
What a people right here, Honky Tonk Man.
So why don't we do the thing, and why don't we do the thing,
why don't we do the thing right now in that ring?
I think he's on his way to reach, he's out in the people, he's going right through the people.
Savage, is he hot or what?
Look at this, he wants the Honky Tonk Man, he wants the Honky Tonk Man right now.
Well, this is totally ridiculous.
There's no match that's been signed, there's no money that's been talked about.
I'd love to get in the ring with him right now, but I'm not dressed for it.
I'm not dressed for this one.
Well, as a challenge position, we will see what will happen.
Honky Tonk Man not dressed for the match.
We'll be back as we continue with more.
All right, Bostonians are going to like this one.
Boston Garden, we're back Saturday night, October the 3rd.
Eight o'clock starts, sensational card.
That includes an appearance by superstar Billy Graham.
Superstar back and healthy in the World Wrestling Federation.
Now here in Boston, he's going to be facing the natural Butch Reed on October the 3rd.
Bam Bam Bigelow, so much chatter about this guy.
Bam Bam Bigelow is banished by Oliver Humperdinck and Bam Bam meets Sika.
Strike force, a couple of old friends with a new team.
Tito Santana and Rick Martel to meet the Islanders.
Morocco and Orton go at it here on October the 3rd.
A man that, well, actually he's been operating out of no man's land over the past few months.
Macho man Randy Savage from the Bobby Heenan family here at the Boston Garden,
October the 3rd, Saturday night, the mighty Hercules.
Yeah, I'm talking, yeah, Boston Gardens.
And I remember it well, historical, yeah, for the Boston Celtics,
but also for the Macho man Randy Savage.
Elizabeth realizes it, yeah, because a victory celebration at a party one time, yeah,
when I took the Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship belt a long time ago
and now October the 3rd in Boston, yeah, in Boston, 28 days before Halloween.
I never thought of that, that's a good thought, 28 days.
You haven't thought of that and you haven't thought of what I'm thinking right now, have you?
What are you thinking right now?
To Hercules?
To Hercules, yeah!
You gotta be kidding me, not that.
No problem, baby, yeah, come after my reputation,
I'm gonna deliver a secret to you on October the 3rd, uh-huh, yeah!
I've heard of doing some crazy things with chains, but Macho Man, that's ridiculous.
Stay tuned, we're right back.
This is scheduled for one fall.
To my left, introducing, from Platte Lake, Minnesota, weighing 274 pounds, Rick Winslow!
And his opponent!
All right!
Let's have a look, by Elizabeth, from Sarasota, Florida, weighing 239 pounds, Randy, Macho Man!
Coming!
Look at this, Elizabeth! Hello, Elizabeth!
Look at this, Elizabeth!
All right, goodness!
Now, Elizabeth looks great!
And the Macho Man!
Not looking too bad in his own way!
Come on, Elizabeth!
What a Macho Man!
Now, wait a minute, wait just a minute, I remember the day when you and Bruno hated his guts!
Well...
I remember when I used to sit out and defend this guy, and you guys used to call him a molo.
Macho Man, ready to lock up with Rick Winslow, but not quite yet.
I guess the only thing I can say is you two got Macho Madness now, don't you?
Well...
Possibly.
Well, no, and you, McMahon, you got Elizabeth Madness.
No question about that.
Elizabeth looking on.
Winslow to the rope.
Elbow right to the chest area by the Macho Man.
Winslow now.
Wow!
You don't often see, look how fast the Macho Man is.
Hey, I'll say it again, there's not a man with more talent in wrestling than this guy.
Macho Madness!
And I'm the guy who claimed it all along, I'm not the guy that got on the boat halfway through.
I see.
We're gonna see it.
We're told now.
We have a live report from Craig DeGeorge outside of the dressing room of Tito Santana.
Craig?
Alright, thank you. Tito Santana now in this dressing room.
Physicians, doctors, checking him all out.
Obviously, he was really roughed up, blindsided by the Islanders.
However, there is good news.
The doctor told me he does not expect any permanent damage.
Well, nonetheless, certainly we saw that Santana was roughed up to say the least.
You know what, why don't we go to the Spanish commentating now?
There's no Santana, there's no Morales, it's the other guy all by himself.
Macho Man, what's he doing?
Winslow, hauled into the ring, the Macho Man.
You know, I got a question for you, McMahon.
What do you attribute this great popularity that the Macho Man seems to have developed as of late?
Easy. What? Elisabeth.
Macho Man going up to the top rope.
Randy Savage leaps to the elbow.
Over one, two, and the victory counts.
The Macho Man, Randy Savage, in a painting ovation for the Macho Man.
Here is your winner, Randy, Macho Man.
Come on.
Macho Man next week will have a shot at the Hockey Dog Man for the Intercontinental Championship
and after one, and really looking forward to that.
Let's catch up on World Wrestling Federation News.
One of the hottest matches of all time coming up this weekend, that is between the Macho Man,
Randy Savage, and the Hockey Dog Man, the reigning Intercontinental Champion.
And as far back as last week, these guys were really up for this match.
Let's go to a special update right now on this matchup.
Hello, everyone. It was one of those things that you could see coming.
And finally, it will be decided this weekend in what is turning out to be one of the most anticipated matches of all time.
The title will be on the line this weekend.
When the self-proclaimed greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time, the Hockey Dog Man, snaps off that.
