against the Macho King in a human-wrecking machine, Zeus.
No holes by Jesse.
This'll be a fight, McMahon, because the referee
plays no part in the matchup
except to count somebody's shoulders down.
There's no breaks.
There's no referee making anybody break.
If you ask me, it's playing right into
Zeus and the Macho King's hand.
Perhaps you're right.
But then again, and maybe not,
the Hulk strength beat kick ready himself.
The official has the chain, the lock.
He will lock the participants in the steel cage
once the match is underway.
And look at this.
Savage issuing the invitation
for Beefcake to step into the ring.
And now the Hulkster stepping into the ring.
Sherry jams the door into Hulk Hogan.
Did you see that?
Sherry's jammed the door into Hulk.
He's down on the outside.
Beefcake is left alone with the Macho King and Zeus.
An absolutely brilliant move, McMahon,
on the part of sensational Sherry Queen.
Sherry outside the ring.
Look at this. Savage now holding on to Hulk Hogan.
Applying pressure. The referee over there.
But you can't do anything about it.
Wait a minute. Sherry now, what's she gonna do?
She's gonna lock the cage
so that the Hulk can't get through the door.
That's what she's gonna do.
Absolutely. And then they're gonna have
Beefcake at their mercy.
It'll be a total double-team situation.
This is a mismatch right here anyway.
Zeus, the human wrecking machine,
one-on-one against Beefcake.
Hulk tripping up Savage.
Hulk gets in a good clean shot through the steel cage.
Hulk on his way into the cage,
coming over the top rope.
Ooh, Savage takes a boot to the face.
And Hogan coming in the hard way.
Off the ropes, a beeline on Zeus.
Savage is down again.
Hogan throwing a right hand,
and Zeus trying to drive him into a cage.
With a good.
And Zeus is down.
Will Zeus is finding out quick
what it's like to be inside the cage?
Hulk Hogan with a kick now.
A rip to the face of the other one.
Again, there are no rules here.
Anything goes. It's no...
Oh, no!
Unbelievable.
Beefcake.
This is not a pretty match.
Beefcake back, body dropping.
Savage all the way into the cage.
Zeus down again.
Advantage to Beefcake and Hogan
at this point in the match.
And Savage into the big boot of the Hulkster.
Up goes Savage.
Ooh, and down he goes again.
Hogan timing that forearm beautifully.
Now they're going over front double team on Zeus.
Double chops to the neck area, the throat area.
Beefcake and the Hulkster.
Oh, my. Look at that.
Zeus put on the brakes,
and Rams Hulk and Beefcake into the cage.
What strength by Zeus.
A tremendous show of strength right there.
Stopping his momentum, driving first Beefcake,
then Hogan into the cage.
Savage is going out.
Remember, for your team to be the best,
remember, for your team to be victorious,
you both have to be out.
That's why timing is so important.
If you get one man out,
the other man faces a possible double team
inside the ring.
Beefcake is bringing Savage back in.
Beefcake and Savage
on the top rung of the ladder.
Wait a minute.
Sherry's coming up.
Sherry's up there.
Sherry and Beefcake together.
Oh! Oh!
Sherry hanging on with one arm.
And Beefcake on top of the human wrecking machine.
And I don't care how big you are.
You can be put to sleep.
Oh, wait a minute.
From the top rung.
The Majo King levels Beefcake.
And that was a saving move right there by the Majo King.
And look at Sherry doing damage from outside the ring.
See-saw Majo.
Hulkster leveled.
Double team effort.
Wait a minute.
Strategy here.
Being laid out by the Majo King and by Zeus.
Very simple.
McMahon to fight and conquer.
Oh, wow.
You double team one,
then you double team the other one.
The pendulum has swung back
in the favor of the Majo King and Zeus.
Hogan driven head first into the cage.
Queen Sherry not happy with the fans outside the ring.
Oh, wow.
Beefcake being pummeled.
Savage and Zeus.
But to my surprise,
seem to have a lot more teamwork going for them
than Beefcake and the Hulkster.
Well, all Zeus has to do
is follow the Majo King's lead in that ring,
and they will be successful.
Beefcake ram head first.
Contestant of Sherry, upset.
And many fans are gonna be upset also, Jesse.
If they can't see the Royal Rumble,
if they can't see WrestleMania,
they're really gonna be upset.
I'll be upset.
However, they can do something about it.
And wait a minute.
Now, Zeus.
Zeus and the Majo King both trying to go out.
Hogan pounding on Zeus in the corner.
Beefcake hanging on to Savage brings him up.
Suplex by the Hulkster.
Whoa, and that took both of them out, I think, McMahon.
Beefcake is out.
So is Savage.
Both were rammed into the steel cage simultaneously.
All four participants down.
Now it's a judgment call on the referee's part.
Queen Sherry pleading to the official.
What's she telling him?
Open up the cage?
I'm not sure.
You can see Beefcake's out of it right there.
Nobody really making a move.
Majo King starting to move in the ring.
Wait a minute, Sherry.
Oh, no.
Do you think she did that intentionally?
Sherry jammed the cage door into the official's head,
and what has she done?
She has the chain in her hand.
She's trailing with the chain to the Majo King.
Savage getting to his feet.
That'll be a weapon, Jesse.
Oh, absolutely it'll be a weapon,
and there's nobody to call it, McMahon.
Don't do no good for you to say nothing.
Savage way up on the top rung of the ladder.
I don't believe it.
He's gonna draw a beat on Beefcake.
15 feet up on the cage.
He's wrapping the chain around his head.
If he hits this, Count Beefcake out.
Here he comes!
No!
Beefcake!
Beating Savage to the punch,
and it's now Beefcake with the chain.
That was a desperation move on the part of Brutus Beefcake,
but it worked.
Beefcake grabbing the chain into the head.
Look at this.
A count wears the official.
Zeus with the upper hand on Hogan.
And now Savage and Beefcake in a race
to the far side of the ring to get out.
I believe the Macho King.
Wait a minute.
I believe the Hulkster is coming into his own.
Hulk hammered by Zeus.
No effect.
Again, Hulkster getting up.
Just as Savage is going down.
Beefcake with nobody to stop him.
Beefcake is going to go out.
Beefcake is down.
That could be a mistake, though,
because now Hogan could be caught in the ring
against both opponents.
Remember, Hogan's got a way to do it.
The Hulkster knocking down Zeus,
and look at this.
Beefcake bringing Savage out of the ring,
out of the cage.
So now it's one-on-one.
The Hulkster.
Technically human recognition.
Technically it's tied up.
One against one, because Savage also to the floor.
Body slam by the Hulkster.
Beefcake coming back in.
Wait a minute.
Hulkster's putting the brakes on him.
No, no.
He wants him one-on-one.
Hulkster wants to prove what Hulkamania's all about.
He wants to put an end to this thing with he and Zeus.
Yeah, sure.
The only reason he did it
is because he's got the advantage, McMahon.
You think if it was the other way around,
he wouldn't have invited Beefcake in to save him.
Zeus again.
Zeus is just being hammered from one corner to the other.
Zeus going up, slam down the canvas.
Hulkster.
Drops the leg.
He's going for a second one.
Drops the leg.
Hulkster.
Drops the leg.
A cover.
Where's the official?
One, two, three.
I don't believe it.
He did it again.
Hulk Hogan.
Brutus the Barber Beefcake.
Here are your winners,
the team of Brutus the Barber Beefcake and Hulk Hogan.
Hulkster, along with Brutus the Barber Beefcake,
no holds barred, Jesse.
They came through in style.
Oh, they won it, McMahon.
Beefcake with the help of a steel chain.
But then again, it's no holds barred.
Anything goes.
And that will perhaps seal the fate of the career of Zeus the Hulkster,
unpersonally proving his superiority over a human wrecking machine.
You know what would be a shame, McMahon,
is that some people may not get the cable of the Royal Rumble.
They may not get the cable of WrestleMania 6.
That would be an atrocity, McMahon.
You know why?
Because that name wouldn't be able to hear me.
I don't have to think about that.
However, all you have to do is call your local cable system
and make sure that you're not being shut out,
that you want to have the opportunity to see the Royal Wrestling Federation.
The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
About to enter the arena, coming down the aisle with his miniature,
the sensational Weed Sherry from Sarasota, Florida,
weighing 245 pounds, Macho King Randy Savage.
The Macho King, colorfully attired in this encounter here in Miami,
joined by his queen following Alfred.
Is that a royal pace behind his, what is that, five paces perhaps?
I don't know.
But I'm sure that the Macho King Randy Savage
is not going to allow sensational Queen Sherry ever to get a stepping problem.
Well, we have got a royal audience here at the Miami Arena.
I don't think you'd fit anyone else inside here, standing room only.
As the Macho King prepares for this encounter,
not exactly what you'd call a kingly reception.
Well, they're not really appreciative of the Macho King's
many, many fine talents inside the ring.
I like to assess somebody by what they do once that bell sounds
and they call their exchange blows and holds.
And Randy Savage is on top in that department.
Well, I think Alfred, it's a little tough to appreciate someone
who considers you a peasant.
He's never called me a peasant.
I only call him a peasant because you're a whore.
Weighing 234 pounds, Rowdy Roddy Piper.
But they have come alive with the sound of the bagpipes
and the arrival of the Rowdy Scots, Roddy Piper.
And that is a confident walk there by Piper if I've ever seen one.
His face, though, is looking a little tense, a little taut.
And there you can see him.
Yes, that look of concentration.
Ralph, I have a meaning to ask you, being from the United Kingdom,
have you ever had an occasion to wear a kilt?
No, I haven't.
Besides on a Friday evening? No.
No, I'm not a Scot.
Well, I just thought perhaps you would attend to some royal affair
that required a kilt.
Well, no. Just being inquisitive.
No, you've got to be a Scot to wear a kilt or a gull to wear a scut.
And that is a kilt.
Make no mistake, anybody who wears one of those, they've got to be tough.
I stand corrected.
But he is about to face another tough individual.
A slap around the face from the macho king.
That's not going to endear him to Rowdy Roddy Piper.
We have seen intimidation tactics attempted on Rowdy Roddy Piper before.
They have not worked.
No, a nice catch that incidentally by sensational Queen Sherry.
Got some very unusual sunglasses there, Alfred.
Do you think that those are for bright lights?
Well, I don't know.
Perhaps not the sun?
I don't know whether you can see through those things.
I think you can see Roddy Piper very clearly because he continues to taunt him.
They continue square off at center ring.
These are good ploys being used by the macho king, Randy Savage, against Piper.
Did you also notice that Piper has not taken one step backwards either, Alfred?
No, he hasn't. Maybe he's not going to be affected by the psychological warfare being waged by the macho king.
Do you think this is frustrating the king of the World Wrestling Federation at all?
No, I don't think so.
Perhaps that's what the conversation consists of.
No, I think he's rather enjoying this situation.
After all, he hasn't come to blows with Piper yet, but Piper is unable to do a thing about it.
Well, the Queen has ventured to the middle of the ring.
Can't exactly pick up what she is saying, but knowing sensational Queen Sherry, it's not good.
Boom!
That'll get her attention.
Not exactly what you want to see happen to a Queen, though, Alfred.
No, and they achieved exactly what they started to, and what they didn't.
Thank you, Barton. Piper was up to it.
And meets with a Scottish clothesline.
And I was going to say that they had achieved what they set out to do, but it didn't work out precisely that way.
Piper gets the foot up, locks his entrance into the turnbuckle, and it's the macho king who kisses it.
And again, another clothesline. Piper with the cover.
Went way too early in an encounter to keep the macho king down.
Piper was really up to this task here. It's a tough assignment for him against the macho Queen and sensational Sherry,
but it looks like he's done his homework well.
Not going to be distracted by sensational Queen Sherry.
Waited for Randy Savage. Took advantage of it. Trying to bring him over with a sunset flip.
Gets the leverage.
Good elbow.
Nice move by the macho king.
And that a nice one won by Roddy Piper there. He's got him. Not quite.
And the macho king wants to think about it.
He's heading back towards the locker room area, but Piper isn't going to let him go.
Got to bring him back.
Well, they both got to watch the count here, because the referee started that count over again as soon as Piper left the ring.
That's a blow and is bringing him, with a personal escort here, back into the ring.
What do you think the macho king was headed, Alfred?
I don't think he was headed for the dressing room. That way he gets no share of the purse.
But look at this, another distraction. Piper must keep his attention solely riveted upon the macho king.
The macho king is far too dangerous an opponent to allow your attention off him.
Well, the Queen did exactly what she set out to do there.
The macho king off the top rope.
Double axe handle square to the center of the forehead of Piper.
That's Piper's head right off the top rope.
Some great moves here by the macho king. He's beginning to establish himself in this bout.
He's beginning to dominate Piper, and once he does this, he is a tremendously good front runner.
As we are seeing, the macho king is just as dangerous outside of the ring as inside.
He'll come off the top rope on either side of the ropes.
And there's his other weapon.
Piper, struggling at this point.
Randy Savage back out, lands a boot to the side of the head, and that encouragement from the crowd has been helping a whole lot at this point.
Well, it does appear that Savage is doing exactly what he wants to do at the moment.
He managed to distract Piper by means of Sensational Queen Sherry, and now he's taking control of this match.
And once again, Sherry's looking for an opening.
Sticking up from behind. Whoa!
Very impressive kick from Sensational Queen Sherry, though quite illegal, I might add.
Yes, very much so illegal. The referee was unsighted for that, didn't see it, otherwise I'm sure that could have merited a disqualification.
Piper continues to fight. Macho King continues to remain on top.
Piper's got to weather this storm. It's very important right now that he hangs in there, uses all his grit and courage and determination, and stays with it.
He's got to get back into this bout somehow or other.
Lafford, you have mentioned on several occasions that when it all comes down to skill and the ability to come out on top in an encounter, you believe the Macho King is right there at the top.
He definitely is there. Of that, there is absolutely no doubt. And his condition is always excellent.
Roddy Piper coming back down. Looks like a boxer here. Series of blows.
Piper has very, very powerful arms, and he certainly packs a wallop with both fists. So I would imagine that he's really taken some steam out of the Macho King now.
And nearly flipped the Macho King right out of the ring. Now he's hung up on the rope.
He's hooked up there by the leg. Piper taking a lot of time. He should be on to him now while he is.
Shouldn't have hesitated though, Alfred.
No, he wasted some time there.
And now he's flooding with a disqualification. He's coming awfully close indeed. And that has turned the referee's attention away from him.
Wayne sets him free as he bounds back onto the canvas.
I don't know if you'd say thanks for that.
I really don't know, but he's not quite so vulnerable as he was when he was hung up there on that turnbuckle.
Piper really taking his time. He should really be forcing this pace now.
Lunging kick to the midsection. Brings him up with a fireman's carry.
I think he's going to go for an airplane spin. Picking up speed.
But doesn't release him, just drops him. Body slam.
Piper a little hunk steady himself. Falls in the right direction there.
Twirling him like a propeller there. And I'm sure the arena must be spinning around for the Macho King right now.
I'm sure it is a very old-fashioned move, the aeroplane spin, but a very, very effective one.
It can upset your equilibrium. Even so, look at this. Macho King going for the same move.
And he continues. Even faster than the rowdy Piper could do. Faster and faster.
And I continue from personal experience. That is just an awful thing to happen to you. You don't know where you are, and neither does Savage.
Oh, look at him. He's down. He's giddy. Even worse than Piper. He really doesn't know where he is.
Well, Alfred, why do you think he went for a move like that? Just to prove that he could pull it off as well?
Because it had to affect his equilibrium as well, but he is going up onto the top rope. And falls right off.
He lost his balance there. And down he goes. And really, that was, as you say, Sean, a stupid move for Savage to make.
I'm really surprised that Savage is doing that.
Well, matching him brawn for brawn here. Piper off the canvas there.
And hammering away on the Macho King, Randy Savage. Sensational Queen Sherry keeping her distance.
And for that one mistaken tactic, the Macho King certainly found himself in a lot of trouble.
Look at this. Sherry's on Piper's back. There's nothing he can do. And what has happened?
Looks as though the Macho King may have... No!
But this battle isn't over yet, Alfred. No, I thought Piper was counted out there.
But the referee put down the hand of the Macho King. So what is the decision here?
And Roddy Roddy Piper lands a sleeper hold. The bell has already sounded, but that is of no concern to Roddy Roddy Piper.
And he continues to hold on. This match is over officially.
And I'm sure that Piper believes that he doesn't have to abide by any law.
But he doesn't care. Look at him now. He's turning around on Sherry.
And the Savage is down. The Macho King is down.
And this gives full course for Piper to take his revenge on Sensational Sleeper Hold on Sherry.
And she's not going anywhere. The Macho King, trying to recover, lands a blow with the knee to the back.
But Piper still has a lot left.
And Piper, truly amazing, got a lot of strength, a lot of courage, and he's going hammer and tongue after the Macho King.
Sherry, still down on the floor, cannot recover.
Oh, and just slams the Macho King into Sensational Queen Sherry as the kingdom comes tumbling down.
And what's Piper doing now? He's gone for his belt.
He's gone for his leather belt. And he's flogging the Macho King.
Lots of the pleasure of the peasants, shall we say, out here in Miami.
And you know something, Sean? We still haven't heard the verdict for this match yet.
I'm so interested to find out what this referee's decision is going to be.
This crowd is very pleased the King has fallen. At least in this encounter.
Thank you very much, Vince McMahon, with me.
And I'm particularly proud to have as our guest on the first Saturday night's main event of the 1990s, this man, Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
Welcome, Hacksaw.
Hello! Well, I mean, Gene, Hacksaw Duggan's ready for the 90s.
And I'm also ready for that low-down King and Queen.
All right, getting to that, Hacksaw.
We all recall how proudly you once wore the crown.
And I also vividly recall how that crown was taken...
Stolen! It was stolen!
The crowd was coming in from behind!
Justifying the music of the night!
Just unloaded on Duggan!
Yay, Macho Man!
And Duggan is out, too!
All right, stolen. My question to you, Hacksaw, is do you want revenge or do you once again want to wear the crown that you wore so nobly?
Well, me and Gene, it's kind of both, yet neither, if you know what I mean.
Well, yes and no, I guess.
Exactly! I don't want revenge for what those two royal pains did to me!
I want revenge for the people!
The peasants, they called them!
Well, the peasants knew what to do in Eastern Europe, and this peasant knows what to do in the U.S. of A!
And if that sherry gets in my way, I'll crack her makeup like the Berlin Wall!
Ho!
All right, Vance, it appears to me that Hacksaw Jim Duggan is entering a new decade with new dedication.
Will it be enough to dethrone a king? We'll have to see. Let's get back to you.
What a matchup this is gonna be, Jesse! Here he comes! Ho!
Hacksaw Jim Duggan!
And look at the look in that man's eye! He is ready for action!
He better be ready for action, because he's facing the Macho King!
Let's take you back to main gene with the Macho King!
Now, Macho King Randy Savage and Queen Sherry, we have just heard the response of the people.
People? Those aren't people! Those are peasants! Yeah, dig it!
All right, the response of the peasants, then, to Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
In my opinion, they love this guy. Hey, does the name King Louie, the 16th, mean anything to you?
Absolutely nothing to the Macho King, nothing!
What about the word guillotine? Does that mean anything to you?
Oh, yeah, that's what peasants do to get their hair cut. Isn't that funny? Yeah!
You could be the court jester for the Macho King, but if you weren't funny,
slap ya, knock ya out, get ya outta there! Yeah!
Macho King rules the peasants. The peasants don't rule the Macho King!
And Duggan is a peasant. He will never rule the madness.
He will never wield the scepter. He will never wear the crown.
And he will never have a queen like Sherry.
Oh, yeah.
I am your queen, Macho King. I am yours to rule anything and everything that I have is yours to command.
Hey, like that loaded purse?
Never mind the purse, hells, here. Queen Sherry, I bid you leave right now.
Yeah, my throne awaits us, dig it? Yeah!
Vince, some people are born to greatness, others have it thrust upon them.
And some steal it. Which have we witnessed? Not for me to say.
Let's get back to you.
Is it for you to say, Ventura?
Well, I'll tell you what, I'm getting tired of mean Gene Oetker
and making all these decisions on his own.
He's got nothing to do but interview people. That's his job.
Well, on his way now to the ringside area.
Think about a regal entrance, look at this.
A Macho King up high above, for all to see.
And being left in the ring by the beautiful Queen Sherry.
What a couple they make, McMahon, look at that.
Look at her eye, huh? What kind of look was that?
Macho King, and look at this, taking aim at the Macho King.
Hacks on Jim Duggan. What a matchup.
Duggan very determined to right the wrong.
And this man in all his arrogance.
Well, it's going to be a brawling match
because that's Hacks on Jim Duggan's style is to brawl in the ring.
And it's going to depend on whether the Macho King
can use his great wrestling ability and his high-flying aerial tactics
to his advantage against the Hacks on Jim Duggan.
And again now, standing erect.
At the top of his sedan, I suppose you would call it,
is Royal Sedan, the Macho King.
Oh, this guy is really, he must be getting to Duggan.
How much pomp and circumstance can a man adore?
Hey, there's a lot of sight out that goes in the world of wrestling.
If you can sight your opponent out, it gives you an advantage.
But personally, I don't think he can sight Duggan out.
I don't think Duggan's got the brains to be sighted out.
You've got to have brains to begin with.
It appears to me that Hacks on Jim Duggan is getting riled up,
but that may not be what the Macho King desires at all.
Hacks on Jim Duggan, waiting patiently,
waiting for the presence of the Macho King inside the squared circle.
Oh, come on.
How Macho King's making his early prediction.
He says, Duggan, you're going down.
And Duggan's going out. Duggan's going outside the ring.
He's over it, Sedan. Look out.
The Macho King down down, unceremoniously down to the apron.
And that's exactly why I say Hacks on Jim Duggan has no way to be king.
This match is underway.
Hacks on Jim Duggan taking him to the Macho King.
Face first to the buckle.
Duggan now sitting in the Macho King for a round.
Oh, look at that.
No effect on Hacks on Jim Duggan.
He may not. Macho King on the rope.
Ooh.
Finally, Duggan goes out.
Right on top of him now. Foot on the floor.
Come on, Ralph. Get in there.
He's got the count of five to break, and it's all meagre till the count of five.
And now the world of produce.
And that's the advantage for the Macho King.
Notice the agility in the ring and how much quicker he is than Hacks on Jim Duggan.
However, if Duggan can unleash the power, then we shall...
Ooh, just like that.
Yeah. What about it now, Jesse?
Well, I said that at the beginning of the match.
Duggan has to use his power to try to stop the Macho King's speed.
Cover. It could be over. New king.
A kick out at the last minute.
And Hacks just look on the face of Queen Sherry as Macho King goes up.
And awaiting the Macho King, the knee to the spot.
And that was a vicious atomic drop, and there's Sherry up on the apron.
Give her one-two. Ooh, Duggan going after Sherry.
Wait a minute. Macho King from behind.
Sherry distracting Hacks on Jim Duggan.
And the Macho King taking from the back of the towel, from the top rope, down into the face.
Yeah, he measured her with that double-axe hand, though.
And that's what makes the Macho King so devastating,
is that he does have Queen Sherry there for support.
Back out now. All over. Hacks on Jim Duggan.
Macho King. Oh, look at the termination.
Uh-oh. Back up now. Going all the way up to the top rope once again.
Measuring Duggan. Ooh.
Right down into the kesher again to cover. Could be over.
Oh.
Macho King appealing to that referee. He wants a quicker count out of it.
And Macho King with Duggan.
Snapping his head off the top rope. And look how quick back into the ring.
Two. Almost three again.
The Macho King's agility just never ceases to amaze me. I'm impressed.
Stay on it! Stay on it!
Queen Sherry's Hacks. Say, oh, he...
Look at that attempt.
Sherry can't believe the turn of the match here.
Duggan missing with the elbow.
Again, the Macho King's quickness prevailing over the power.
Seesaw match up back and forth.
Duggan connected.
And that's one thing Macho King doesn't want to do
is start exchanging with Hacks on Jim Duggan.
Back body drop all the way over the top rope.
Savage won't get up from that one.
This could be a count out.
No one gets up from that kind of a fall.
From the top rope.
Hacks are waiting by what she's doing up there on the airport.
Get her down, Hacks. Come on, start that count.
Brilliant maneuver on the part of Queen Sherry.
She's stopping the referee from putting any type of count on the Macho King.
And now Duggan's playing right into their hands.
He's out on the floor.
Nicely done.
This match will officially resume,
but only after the referee gets bumped in back into the ring.
And right now, let's take you to the Mountain Dew Slam of the Night.
Mountain Dew presents the Slam of the Night
from Glasgow, Scotland, Rowdy Roddy Piper.
This hot rod redefines Rowdy,
and one never knows from where the next blow will come.
The result is always devastating.
And when this strappy Scotsman takes the low road,
it's the high road to the canvas for his opponent.
Then all that's left is the cover.
Mountain Dew salutes the piping hot slam of Rowdy Roddy Piper.
See you next time on the Slam of the Night.
We're back with our Saturday Night Man of the Night,
Hacks on Jim Duggan,
rolling the Macho King back into the ring.
And that's something you don't see often,
a king begging for mercy.
Oh, what a body slam.
Hacks on is taking over.
Off the rope, driving the knee down the chest.
Come on, get her down.
Get her down, referee.
Where's the three count?
Duggan has counted at five.
Finally, the referee up for two, and the kick out.
Come on, ref.
And now Hacks on's not happy.
He's not happy at all.
Green Sherry, once again, intervening in the matchup.
And it won't stop Duggan from pummeling the king.
The cover.
That's not right.
What do you mean, come on, ref?
The ref didn't see that.
He can only call what he sees, McMahon.
He can't call what he doesn't visually see.
And Duggan warning Sherry.
Oh, yeah!
A deep shot, a deep throw.
Another look at this.
Toesline after toesline.
Hacks on Jim Duggan asserting himself.
Another big right house right.
I have to admit it, McMahon, I've never seen the Macho King
in this much trouble before.
He's standing a great chance to lose that crown
against the Hacks on.
Uh-uh.
Duggan coming over.
Taking matters into his own hands.
What is this?
She deserves whatever she gets.
Sherry Fink interfering in this matchup.
And Duggan's going after her.
Duggan.
Oh, yeah, Duggan has her.
Now he's out.
Jim Duggan has the queen.
Oh, my goodness.
Now you're condoning this, I suppose, right, McMahon?
Listen, something has to be done about the queen.
She can't continue.
Oh, come on.
Ooh, the feet of the pack.
And there's the fatal mistake by Hacks on Jim Duggan.
He occupied himself with the queen,
and there goes the Macho King.
Up to the top.
From the top left, but Duggan connecting at the same time
the Macho King did.
What is this?
Oh, no.
Sherry loading the purse.
Handing the purse to the Macho King
behind the official's back.
This was the precise way in which Macho King became king,
as we saw in the footage earlier.
Do you think Duggan's stupid enough to fall for it twice?
Do you think the guy is that dumb
that he's going to get nailed with the purse not once,
but yes?
Oh, I don't believe how dumb that Hacksaw is.
Drum.
Ha-ha.
And now Macho King slowly coming over to Duggan,
who's out cold once again.
Duggan's not even knowing.
The cover.
I can't believe it.
And that was an awful slow count by referee Danny Davis.
And a smart pack of the new king coming up, Jesse.
Oh, no.
Duggan able to withstand the blow from that loaded purse.
And now Duggan with all the momentum.
He definitely has it now,
because the Macho King apparently used his ace in the hole.
Oh, yeah.
There's nothing wrong.
The Macho King can pull out of his bag of tricks.
It's all Jim Duggan.
Duggan knocking the king down to the canvas
over and over again.
And he's setting up for that big...
He's down.
He's set.
Here he comes.
And he nailed him with it.
But he nailed him outside the ring.
The momentum carrying Savage outside,
but now he's coming in the hard way.
He came in.
Look at this.
He's hanging on to the leg.
No rep, no.
Yes, the Macho King does it again.
I can't believe Willie Johnson.
And Jim Kim of the World Wrestling Federation.
He's out of here, McMahon.
All right, Jesse's out of here.
Back to the dressing room area for a special interview.
And the Macho King is out of here.
Still with the crown in hand.
Not that he deserves it.
Back to you, Jesse.
Contest is scheduled for 1-4.
Coming down the aisle
with his manager, Sensational Queen Cherie
from Sarasota, Florida,
weighing 245 pounds,
Macho King!
Hello, everyone.
I'm Lord Alfred Hayes.
And welcome to this exclusive Colosseum video match.
Sitting alongside me, my colleague,
here at ringside, his eminence, Sean Mooney.
That was a royal introduction, if I've ever heard one.
Lord Alfred Hayes.
Well, this is a royal occasion, isn't it, Mooney?
Well, I guess you could call it that.
Macho King, Randy Savage,
and Sensational Queen Cherie
arriving for this encounter.
I don't see too many people on their feet,
and the ones who I are giving them
the thumbs-down sign, Lord Alfred Hayes.
Well, I think most people are all struck
by the presence of these two.
They are very awe-inspiring.
Awe-inspiring, yes.
Randy Macho King Savage
is just a tremendous wrestler.
Well, I'll agree with that.
And has always been noted, probably,
as the number one logical contender
for the World Wrestling Federation title now,
but he's not actually the title holder.
And, of course, Queen Cherie is the greatest
lady wrestler of all time.
I want to question their abilities, Lord Alfred Hayes,
and I did question some of their tactics they use.
And this one individual certainly will enhance.
His manager, Sapphire, from Austin, Texas,
weighing 288 pounds,
the American Dream,
Leslie Wu.
He is the American Dream,
accompanied by his manager, Sapphire,
the common couple.
Yes, they wear unisex shirts there.
I believe they interchange those, don't they,
those shirts?
A one-size-fits-all in this case,
since we're saying Lord Alfred Hayes.
Yeah, something along those lines.
There's a little Sapphire, I think.
Yes.
He certainly could.
He had some really smart little dancing moves there,
probably better than Sapphire.
Well, the royal couple is wisely staying clear
of the ring at the moment,
as Dusty Rhodes and Sapphire
continue to enjoy this reception.
What a Coliseum matchup this is, Lord Alfred Hayes.
It is indeed.
And this is an exclusive Coliseum video match, too.
And just watch the camera work
that our Coliseum cameramen do in this match.
They take you right inside this ring.
Well, we just watched Dusty Rhodes plant a elbow
right to the head of the Macho King.
That didn't stun him for long.
As he comes back with a vengeance.
Sapphire, quick move there.
Macho King goes down
with a good, strong clothesline.
Well, Sapphire and sensational Queen Sherry
have taken refuge,
refuge outside of the ring.
Well, I can't blame Sherry,
quite honestly, for ducking out the way.
And here's a 350-pound man
tearing after her,
trying to give her an atomic elbow.
Well, the Macho King
certainly would have liked to have gotten
his hands on Sapphire as well.
No, I think he was just playing the wrong way.
It's just part of his game plan
to spread a little chaos
in the opposing rings.
Dusty Rhodes showing the Macho King
a tour of his kingdom
each corner of this ring.
Down the last one.
The Macho King does a 360.
Nearly came all the way around.
Hands up, caught up in the corner.
Dusty Rhodes has really been
taking after the Macho King.
No respect for royalty
thus far in this encounter.
No, obviously his game plan is to come in here
and try and establish his authority
on this fight as quickly as possible.
But there you see he was distracted there.
And that really is a bad thing to do.
You must keep your mind on your opponent.
Not on somebody else
who's got nothing to do with the match.
Randy Savage,
who's long been known
to take a battle
outside of the ring.
But in that case, obviously,
bring it back in to center ring
and lands a double axe handle
on the top of the head
of Dusty Rhodes from the top rope.
And he is
very agile from anywhere
in this arena.
He is indeed, and he's showing
how finely conditioned he is
because for the first few minutes of this match
he took a tremendous pounding
of the hands of Dusty Rhodes.
But look at him, he's coming back as if he wasn't even
fazed by those blows.
Macho King had a good
sleeper on, but
Dusty Rhodes breaks free
with that devastating elbow he has.
Sation of Queen Sherry
choosing
an opportunity where she could
sneak in there
and get a shot in on Dusty Rhodes.
And off the top rope, as I mentioned before,
Macho King dangerous from anywhere
around the ring.
Came off the top rope there.
That's a long way down.
Yes, that was a brilliant move there
by the Macho King.
He saw that Dusty Rhodes
was an easy target
for him, and he certainly wasted
no time or that opportunity
to profit by it.
Macho King keeps up the fight.
You saw that one land.
Once again,
our captain in there in a very, very
perilous position.
Sation of Queen Sherry
once again
takes a chance.
Those kicks to the head of Dusty Rhodes
seem to be giving him power.
Reviving him.
Well, we must
take our hats off to Dusty Rhodes
there. He certainly weathered that storm.
And yet, look at that. He's felled by just a
tap from a handbag. A purse, as it's
known here, of course.
You would think by now that Dusty Rhodes would have been
aware of the presence of Sensational
Queen Sherry.
And I don't think that was just purse.
Lord Alfred Hayes.
Wouldn't be surprised if she was
backing some weights.
Look at those shots with the high heels.
Well, she's certainly giving Dusty Rhodes
something to think about there.
The Sensational Queen Sherry
is relentless.
And I think we knew
it was only a matter of time before Dusty Rhodes
could take no more.
But, once again, Sensational Queen Sherry
accomplishes what she set out
to do.
Not only getting in some punishment of her own,
but distracting the American Dream.
Here's the count.
I really can't understand Dusty Rhodes.
He was outside the ring. He weathered the storm
with those heavy kicks to the head.
He seemed to be in fine fettle, great physical
condition, yet he didn't come into the ring
to finish off his man. Why was that?
Now look at this.
Macho King with the bell.
He certainly rang the bell
of Dusty Rhodes that time.
Pardon me, Lord Alfred Hayes.
He couldn't resist.
Goes to the cover once again.
Well, that was not seen
by the referee.
Otherwise, that certainly
would have constituted a disqualification.
What it may have done, but this referee is
just a little bit slow on seeing
many things here. I think what he's actually doing
is giving this a certain amount of
tolerance. Don't forget, in the beginning, we saw
Rhodes chasing
Queen Sherry, Sensational Queen Sherry
around. He didn't do
much about that. But look at this!
Look at Rhodes now!
He defies the King
once again.
And Savage is
really putting a lot behind those punches.
Off the ropes, right into the
elbow of Dusty Rhodes.
Alfred, I wanted to mention that time
and time again, we are reminded
what a devastating weapon Sensational
Queen Sherry is at ringside.
She certainly is. What
great advice she's taken from
her protege there,
the Macho King, to
keep Dusty Rhodes occupied.
It's quite a task for a young lady.
Macho King,
right off the top rope, but
lands on the waiting arms of the American
Dream.
Up until that point, Shaw,
Dusty Rhodes had shown tremendous stamina.
I was rather surprised when he
was able to make a concerted
effort to come back against
the Macho King after all the
punishment he'd taken. But now what is
happening here? Well, Sensational
Queen Sherry has thrown the person into the ring.
But Sapphire
gets to it first.
Gives it to Dusty Rhodes, the Macho King
unaware.
But he's very aware now.
And who knows
what kind of shape the Macho King is in right at this
moment as Sensational Queen Sherry's
hand backfires.
Big time.
And the referee,
Danny Davis, continues the counts.
And that's the way it is going
to stand. The Macho King,
Randy Savage, counted out. Let's get the official
word.
Sensational Queen Sherry attempting to help
the Macho King. Let me tell you what, baby.
You streetwalker from the street,
if you
want some of my
brown sugar, get your big
ass in there and get it.
Well, a challenge issued by
Dusty Rhodes asking
Sensational Queen Sherry to get her big
rear end.
Lord Alfred Hayes, I think,
I think we're going to see another match up
right here between
Sapphire and Sensational Queen Sherry.
Wait, Sapphire has
the purse. Sensational Queen Sherry
turns around and gets
nailed just as did the
Macho King, Randy Savage.
Well, that was a most
inflammatory statement there by Dusty Rhodes.
And I'm not at all surprised
that the people here are
really responding to him as clearly as
they should have done. Lord Alfred
Hayes, you have to admit
that was a tremendous victory
for Dusty Rhodes and another one
for Sapphire. Well, I see
that he was a very, very
lucky man to win that match.
A tribal unlucky for the Macho King.
However, Dusty Rhodes the winner.
I tell you with the rules of the WWF,
you will be the inside referee, and Mr.
Douglas, you will be the outside referee.
Okay, champ, it's no different than in
Tokyo. Stay on the outside,
stick to the plan, don't get pushed
around, not by Savage or not by Hogan.
Call it like you see it, right down the
middle. But if things get rough in there,
then think of Mike Tyson and knock
somebody out.
When you take the dynamite tactics
of the Macho King,
Randy Savage, and the TNT
punching power of the undisputed
World Heavyweight Boxing Champion
James Buster Douglas,
and add it with the Super
Nitro power of the World
Wrestling Federation Champion, the
Hulkster, something's
gonna explode!
Welcome to the main event!
Welcome to Boat Town!
And welcome to Detroit,
Michigan!
Hello everyone, I'm Vince McMahon,
and joining me at ringside, Jesse
Carra, and tonight the World
Wrestling Federation presents not one,
but two championship matches!
The Ultimate Warrior defends the
Intercontinental Championship against the
number one contender, the Canadian
strongman, Dino Bravo!
The Warrior also must contend with
besides Bravo, the Mouth of the
South Jimmy Hart, as well as
his licensed corner man,
the 460 pound,
undefeated, moving and shaken
Earthquake!
The World Wrestling Federation title,
the Hulkster putting it all on the line,
as Hulk Hogan meets the
number one contender and former
champion, the Macho King
Randy Savage! However, Jesse,
as you well know, originally
scheduled to be the special
referee, Iron Mike Tyson.
At the last moment, his management
pulled him out! That's right, I know
that, McMahon, but there's a man
waiting who can more than fill Tyson's
shoes! In fact, he's the man
who knocked Tyson flat on his butt
and walked out with the Heavyweight
Boxing Championship! He's the
only man who can stand in that
ring between Hulk Hogan
and the Macho King! And I'm speaking
of course of James
Buster Douglas!
What a matchup! What a night!
Right here on the Main Event, we'll be back
as Hulk Hogan squares off
against the Macho King,
Randy Savage!
We are back in Detroit, Michigan
and standing by right now
is me and Gene Auckland
with the Macho King, Randy
Savage and the Sensational Queen
Sherry!
I'm with the Macho King,
Randy Savage and his manager,
Sensational Queen Sherry.
What are your thoughts at this moment,
Macho King? Oh yeah,
Auckland, you know that I'm glad
that Iron Mike Tyson pulled out
as the special referee
I'm a happy man
because the Macho King did a little investigation
Oh yeah!
And I discovered that
Mike Tyson's great grandmother
was a no good, loyal to the
bone, card-carrying
Hulkamaniac! And there's no way
that he could have called it right down
the middle. 50-50,
fair and square, no way
in the world! So my guns
were loaded for you, Mike Tyson.
Oh yeah! And now
there's a new kid on the block
Just who is this guy
tough enough to knock out
Iron Mike Tyson? Just who
is this guy tough enough to
stand in between me and Hulk Hogan?
Well, I'll tell you something,
James Buster Douglas,
you had better call it right down the middle
on the level, even
Steven, or you're going to answer
to a higher authority
Yeah! And I'm talking
about a royal authority
Yeah! And I'm talking about a
kingly authority Yeah! I'm
talking about the Macho King
Oh yeah! Oh yeah!
And let me tell you, Hulk Hogan,
by the time you get to
WrestleMania 6, you won't
be defending the WWF
Championship
against the Ultimate Warrior
because tonight
Yeah! And again,
come my queen and take your
rightful place beside
the Macho King
right now
Oh yeah!
Alright, the king and the queen
on their way to the throne
Did I say throne?
It's back to you
Alright, take a look
at this, Jesse
and the sea of humanity
This contest
is for the World Wrestling
Federation Championship
scheduled for one fall
coming down the aisle
with his manager, Sensational
Queen Sherry
in the challenger
from Sarasota, Florida
weighing 245 pounds
Macho King
Randy
Levin
Has he ever looked any more regal to you, Jesse?
Absolutely not!
Him and the Queen, check out the Queen Sherry
I mean, they look great, they remind me
of Harry and Leona Helmsley
on their best day
Really?
Yes indeed, we are anxiously awaiting
this matchup to get underway
The Macho King
Randy Savage
And what's so sensational about Queen Sherry, Jesse?
What's so sensational?
Take a look at her, McMahon
She looks good to me
The ropes open for her, King
She's a queen who knows her place
Macho King, Randy Savage
enjoying
all the accolades
He better enjoy it while he can because
soon the Hulkster is going to be on his way
Standing high for all to see
Macho King, but right now
let's take you back to Mean Gene and the Hulkster
Paul Cogan
the addition of James Buster Douglas
as special referee
has got to be weighing heavily on your mind
You know, from what I understand, Mean Gene
this dude, James Buster Douglas
and the Hulkster have a lot in common, man
Don't get me wrong, Mean Gene
I've never met the dude
I just know what I've heard
I'll tell you something, Buster Douglas
It seems like you had a claw
that scratched your way to the top, just like me
We also share some values, man
Believing in God, in yourself
in your family, and in your country
And we share the same dedication
and loyalty to a cause
way beyond that of any selfish man
You know, it also seems
as though you've been chosen, man
just like I was, to lead the masses
to higher ground
But let me tell you something, brother
This is probably the last time
I'll ever face the Macho King, Randy Savage
And if you're not all these things
Buster Douglas, if you're a pretender
to the throne, a flash in the pan
let's say, here today, gone tomorrow
If you don't have the heart
of the Hulkster like a lion
If you don't call it down the middle
because there's a little touch of the madness
somewhere inside you, dude
Then so help me, James Buster Douglas
By the end of the night
I'll be both the World
Wrestling Federation Champion
Baboom! And the undisputed
Heavyweight Boxing Champion, too
So whatcha gonna do
when primetime Hulkamania
runs wild on you?
All right!
Hulk Hogan, the World Wrestling Federation
champ on the way to the ring
for a title defense. Vince, let's get
back to you
All right! And this place
is going electric!
From Putney Beach, California
weighing 303 pounds
The World Wrestling
Champion
Hulk Hogan!
Yeah, the Bacho King
awaiting the presence
of Hulk Hogan!
You can't even hear yourself think, Jesse
I can't even hear you talk, McMahon
which sometimes I think is a benefit
Hulk Hogan in the ring
ready to go!
And off comes the T-shirt
and out goes the Bacho King
and Queen
Oh, yeah!
Listen to this!
They're rockin' and rollin'
in Detroit tonight!
Me-Jean O'Connell is standing by
and standing with
Me-Jean and James Buster Douglas
Ladies and gentlemen, we all know about
David and Goliath, Jack of the Beanstalk
but those are just stories
This is the real thing
the one, the only
James Buster Douglas
Not only has he captured the undisputed
World Heavyweight Boxing Championship
but he has captured the hearts
and minds of America
maybe even the world
He pulled off perhaps the greatest
upset in sports history
and James, you did it for all the right reasons
Yes, I did, Me-Jean
I did it for me, I did it for my country
but most of all, I did it for my mother
Living proof, ladies and gentlemen
that if you want something bad enough
if you work hard enough
then indeed, your dreams will come true
no matter what the odds
But James, I must ask you
this is the first time that you've returned to the ring
since winning the title
and I also must remind you that this is a different
kind of ring than you're used to
So why on earth would you agree
to step into the ring between these two monsters
here tonight?
It's not boxing, Me-Jean
When Tyson put his tail between his legs and ran
I knew it was my place to stand up and be counted
Besides, they advertise
the World Heavyweight Champion
and that's me, not Mike Tyson
Okay, James, fair enough
but the question all America once answered
in fact, the question all America demands to know
will you be an unbiased
impartial special referee?
Me-Jean, I'm gonna call it like I said
right down the line, 50-50
and if anybody starts shoving their weight around
I'm gonna knock them flat
just like Mike Tyson
James Buster Douglas
thank you, can't imagine what that might have felt like
Vince, thank goodness
that's it from here, back to you
Alright
Here is the new
undisputed
heavyweight boxing champion
of the world
James
Buster
Douglas
Yeah, James Buster Douglas
along with his manager
John Johnson
and if anybody
can maintain order, Jesse Dinkara
it's Batman, the
undisputed boxing champion
Well, we'd like to think so, McMahon
As you said, if anyone could do it
how much higher can you go
than getting the heavyweight boxing champion
Yeah, do it all
James Buster
Douglas, look at him
throwing those right and left there Jesse
kind of reminds me of me
Yeah
James Douglas
official
That's what it's all about
Douglas
the boxing champion
the holster, the world wrestling
federation champion
is on the way now
at the moment
Uh oh, watch out here
This is going to be
some encounter
John Johnson stepping to the outside
along with James Buster Douglas
the outside official
Lock in
Oh, nice power maneuver
and the holster
and Hogan showing his power right at the outset here
but remember something
the Macho King's a lot faster than Hogan
and his aerial tactics
always have to be contended with
I'll grant you that
Macho King himself
former world wrestling federation champion
tonight is his opportunity to get it back
back up
and a whip to the ropes coming off
shoulder block and the Macho Man goes down
and the Macho King to the outside
Hulk's coming after him
No, no, no, look at this
Oh yeah, Hulk better think twice about that one
He's looking at a big right hand
to drop Tyson
and Douglas
Telling Savage get back in the ring
Let's get it on
Locking back up
Need to do midsection
Savage
Cutting right hand to the facial area of the holster
Magnificent move by the Macho King
Randy Savage grabbing Hogan
clotheslining him on that top
from behind
the holster to the outside
Wait a minute
Macho King going up to the top
He's going to come down
No, he's not
Douglas raised up his fist
Now that's unfair
Why should he be jumping in the way of a Macho King
on one of his patented moves
Whoa, what's happening here
A holster
Oh yeah
Back to the ring
Hulk
Big right hand
Another one, another one
Savage off the rope
Pulls right by the holster
I think it's despicable
that Hogan would lay his hands
on a female manager
He didn't drive the knee to the chest area
It was the Macho King who did
No, he just choked her out
That's all
He did not
Look at the Hulk moving right in
Oh my
He's devastating here tonight
Well, Hogan's got the momentum right now
Queen Sherry outside the ring is hurting
and the Macho King definitely taking
the worst end of the stick here
This capacity crowd keeping up
with the punches of the holster
And things don't look
too good for the Macho King, Jesse
Oh, what a chop
And you can't let up one second
on the Macho King, you do
It can be big trouble, collision here
Nice elbow to the forehand
And Hogan looks like he's
going for the quick win
Hook now with Macho King
Has him in the air
Drops the elbow
And another one
And the cover, get in there
No, what's he gonna do
Why isn't the referee stepping in
Those are flagrant close face
Hogan better have some
regard for the referee
We are live in Detroit
Hulk Hogan defending
a world wrestling federation championship
Another right hand
Sherry just grabbed his ankle and took him down
I can't believe it
Look at this brutality
Oh no
Wow
And what sensational
intestinal fortitude on the part of Queen Sherry
Sacrificing her body
So that the Macho King can turn
the tide of this match
And boy did he ever turn it just a moment ago
Perhaps a desperation
move on the part of the Macho
King, but right now he's all over
Hulk Hogan
Now we'll find out if Hogan can
take the punishment
It's obvious he can dish it out
And a vision
Here's the cover, are you a champion
No, count it too, it's all again
I'll tell you that was a pretty slow count
You talk about slow counts
I don't think so at all
No, come on
He's blatantly choking him, get in there
Right up against the throat
He's got a five count to make the break
Totally legal
Look at this
Buster Douglas is right in there now
Yeah, but Buster's too much
of a gentleman to do anything about it
I don't think so
He's taking care of business
She's out of there
What? She's out of there
What kind of a biased
referee is that
How dare James
Buster Douglas do that
to the Macho Kids manager
She's going all the way
back
James Buster Douglas is moving
Sherry all the way back
and will be back with the resumption
of this matchup as soon as
Douglas returns to the ring
We'll have more of the main event
Jesse, we're back
and here comes James Buster
Douglas back to the ring
and I don't think we'll be seeing
any more of the sensational Queen
Sherry
I think this man stepped a little bit too far
You know how it is, you give somebody
a little authority and they like to think
they can rule the world
What right did Buster Douglas have
to kick out the Macho Kings manager
You saw what was going on, Jesse
She was blatantly breaking the rules
Choking the Hulkster
And Hogan doesn't
Hogan
The beat now
Grims the elbow
And again to the midsection
For the third time
The Hulk broken
And the shoulder block successful
Hogan coming right at Savage
And
They both go down
Look at that, Savage right back up
The Macho King
Savage definitely got the better of that close line
Wow
And another slow count
By the referee
I was right on the money and you know it
Hulk Hogan to the outside
The Macho King from way
high above
Hogan up
Right into the back
The Macho King climbs his mark
Absolutely and now the Macho King has got everything
going his way
I smell upset, McMahon
Buster Douglas did it
The Macho King can do it
Savage again from the top row
And again
Down into the Hulkster
This could be it, one, two
Another kick out by Hulk again
That has to become frustrating to the Macho King
Certainly it does
Especially when he's getting counts like that from the referee
Counts like what?
The guy's winding up like he's throwing a baseball
200 yards
Here's another cover, two in
No, again only the two count
Savage drops the knee
That should do it, hooks the leg
Savage again
Another attempt
And Hulk kicking out even on a count of one there
Savage has got to go for something
Devastating here, he's got Hogan on the run
He needs to do that
Finish and move on him
Good left hands and they're driving him in
Wind up
Hulk Hogan all the way outside
I don't think James Douglas could throw a better punch
Now why is he getting in the way again?
He better not come down
Hulk rolling back in
Oh no, come on
Savage with the elbow
Right in the throat area
Macho King, a slam
Over 300 pounds
Hulk Hogan, he's going up
This could be it
If he hits it, it's over, McMahon
Macho King
From the top rope
Randy Savage leaps in
He's got it
It's over
Could you believe that?
I can't believe
Hogan could kick out from that elbow
Savage driving those rights
But they're not having any effect
Look at this
Hulk Hogan
Drawing the energy
From all of us Hulkamaniacs
All right in
Another one
Savage with hitting the rods
Savage bringing the Hulkster outside now
But no, it's Hulk Hogan
Literally getting out first
Leading Savage in a punch until just then
The rake in the face
Which only raises the ire, I think, of Hulk Hogan
Hulk Hogan better watch out
Of course the referee's not counting
Look at this
Hulk taking a right hand to Savage
It knocked the official down
Hulkster drops the leg
One, two, three
That's a fast count
What?
The winner of this fight
And still
World Wrestling Federation Champion
Hulk
Hogan
Look at this, Randy Savage
Not even the official
That was a fair count
And he wasn't even the official who counted to three
It was James Buster Douglas
Wait a minute, look at Savage
He's realizing it was Buster Douglas that counted him
Randy Savage putting the bad mouth
On the Undisputed Boxing Champion
James Buster Douglas
You don't think
Douglas is telling Savage
I counted one, two, three
But the Macho King ain't buying it
Hogan's standing in the corner
What a discussion going on in the ring now
It was a fair and square count
No, no
I think, I think Savage is getting
Rounded up
Well Savage better be careful
If he's gonna take this guy on wrestling
Don't box him
Look at the look in the eye
For the Macho King
What's going on now
Macho King's just discussing
The situation with James Douglas
Uh oh
Oh no
Savage landing up peekaboo
I think he's gonna go for it
That's called Rupa Dope if you ever watched Ali
He set him up for Rupa Dope
Look, James Buster Douglas
Isn't asking for any of this Jesse
He's simply
Counting one, two, three
Oh a slap by the Macho King
He's slapping right in the face
What guts on the part of the Macho King
I mean he slapped
The World Heavyweight Boxing Champion
Right in the face
And James Buster Douglas does nothing
Oh wait a minute, the hands are up now
Douglas I think is gonna raise his hands
Douglas better watch out
Or you'll paint brush him
Savage moving in now
Savage bobbing and weaving a moment ago
Savage turning his back
On James Buster Douglas
After slapping him in the face
It's a good thing Douglas is a gentleman
I can tell you that
Look at him
How much of this is Douglas gonna take
Wait a minute
Nails him again
What a sucker punch
And Hogan pushed him into it
What kind of deal is that McBam
It took two of them
They have the double piece of Macho King
Look at this
The two
Undisputed champions in the ring
Jesse, James Buster
Douglas, the undisputed
World Boxing Champion
And Hulk Hogan, the undisputed
World Wrestling Federation Champion
There's a celebration going on
Right here in Bulltown
Look at these two shaking hands
After they do a double team job
On the Macho King
It took two of them McBam
There's a conspiracy, I've seen it
James Buster Douglas
Is a Hulkamaniac, there's no doubt about it
Well maybe he wasn't
When he came into Bulltown
But he certainly is now
Hulk Hogan
And James Buster Douglas
Let's go back
We'll take a look
At this replay
Hulk winds him up here
Here you see Hogan
Pushes the Macho King
And Douglas with a big right hand
And setting up with another one
It took two of them McBam
Admit it, admit it
Well, look at this
What a sight that is
Hulk Hogan
And James Buster Douglas
Standing by right now
The ultimate warrior
Well, well, well
Jesse in the ring right now, take a look at him
That's right, the most remarkable athlete
In the whole World Wrestling Federation
Right there, McBam
Sherry, no
Macho King, aren't you gonna ask
Why?
Because there you're looking at the only man
In the world capable
Of not only taking on
The World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Champion
But taking on
The World Heavyweight Boxing Champion
Both in the same night
Who else in the world could accomplish that?
No one
Except for maybe me
Yeah, except you, of course
Macho King Randy Savage
Oh, my
Yes, yes, yes
And his opponent
Where is he?
The ring manager of Sapphire
From Austin, Texas
Way into the ring
Working hard
Hey, he's a man
He steps in
And the Macho King steps out
Give that man some room
Ha, he needs room
If both of them get in there
There ain't enough room
The question is, Jesse
The unknown
Factor of Sweet Sapphire
In the squared circle next Sunday afternoon
That's a big unknown
Yeah, you got that right
A big unknown
I didn't mean it that way
Look at this, elbow
Come on, Sherry
Oh, yeah, what, the dream wants to fight Sherry now
That's tough, Green
From behind
Don't turn your back
On the Macho King
Yeah, now look at this
She's in trouble
Sapphire
Look at that
And the dream
Helped Sapphire to the outside
But there won't be any outside
When we see the first ever
World Wrestling Federation
Mixed tide team match
Next Sunday afternoon
That's right, old Sapphire's
Gonna have to hang in there
When it's her turn
Now, come on, McMahon
Can you honestly sit here
And tell me that you believe
That Sapphire's of the same athletic
Caliber, a sensational Sherry
Queen Sherry
No, I can't say that she is
But I can't say that she isn't
Because not much is known
About Sapphire
Yeah, but a lot is known about Queen Sherry
That's true
I mean, it would probably be a toss up
If she took on the American Dream
Oh, yeah, sure
Whoa, my
And the Macho King spilled heavily
Out to the floor
Right into the heart of Queen Sherry
Standing right up there
Facing down with the dream
Yeah, from behind
Oh, no, right into the post
And I don't see
Sapphire coming around to save
Her man
I don't think her man needs saving at the moment
The Macho King going up
You don't think so? I think so
From the top rope, the Macho King
Right down into the dream
We have a cover
Let's go!
Jesse, you are fully aware
Are you not of the rules
In the first ever mixed tag team matchup
At WrestleMania
Refresh my memory, McMahon
Well, obviously, when a male
Is in the ring, he must wrestle
Another male as opponent
In this case, it'll be the dream
And the Macho King at no time
According to the rule book
At no time
Will Savage be able to be in the ring
With Sapphire or the dream
Dusty Rhodes in the ring
With sensational Sherri
There you go, look at that
See how capable Sherri is
I'm telling you, she could wrestle the dream
And you know, those rules
And I'm gonna bring this up
To President Jack Tunney
I find those rules very sexist
In today's day and age
Oh, come on
Hey, women are equal, right?
Right?
Of course they are
They're more than equal, but not when it comes
To something like this, Jesse
If they want to play lumberjack
They should carry their end of the law
Right?
I'm not gonna agree with you anymore on that
Sherri, with who knows what she has
In that purse, into the back of the head
Of the dream, and he knocked
Well, he was knocked right down to the canvas
Hard right hand by the Macho King
And now why isn't it
Sapphire is not helping her man out
I mean, it's obvious
Rhodes is getting double teamed by
Not only the Macho King, but look at that leg
Look at that maneuver
McCree nails him
Oh, he hit her
He struck a woman, I can't believe it
He certainly did not
I can't believe it
From behind the Macho King
To the rescue
Can you imagine that?
That witch, Sherri
What she was doing to the dream
Dusty Rhodes hit her
He did not hit her
Miro the knee
Rury around two
All we can get
Rhodes is going out after her again
He is not
Unfortunately, the Macho King from high above
Down
Into the shoulder and neck area
Of the American dream
He's not here
Will you leave John alone?
Give him a break, please
Now his rugs turn side to me
The sideburn coming down here
Sometimes you're very disgusting and humiliating
You know that?
Did you notice how well that Sapphire is doing?
Yes, she is really getting in shape
I noticed she's added an extra dot
Added an extra dot
This is just an inkling of what WrestleMania 6 will be like
When we see that mixed tag team matchup
But this one a long way from being over
We'll be back in a moment with the conclusion
What a beautiful view we have right now, folks
Here from the Sparkles Club
Take a look, sun shining brightly
Look out there on Lake Ontario
Is that Sapphire swimming or an oil barge?
Will you stop?
37 miles across the lake, my hometown
Rochester, New York and Buffalo
Today on a clear day
You can see all the way to Windsor, Ontario
Say, that's exciting
Isn't it?
You people that want binoculars, send me $75.50
Don't pay any attention to him
He's soft as a grape this week, folks
Don't pay any attention to him
Let's go back and take a look at the American Dream and the Macho King
She's in the breaststroke
Everything's going to break loose on the accountability
Yeah, totally, totally
I'm loving it, look at
What is she doing?
She's distracting the official
That's what she's doing
The Macho King is going to go up
And come crashing down with a bell
And he rang Dusty's bell
Funny, funny, funny
There it is
About that the dream kicks off
Well, I gotta say right there
Macho King should have gone for a better cover
Right there, he should have hooked the leg
Savage
Just hammering a moment ago
And again
Those left jabs
What's going on here?
Dusty Rhodes has found
The reserve from somewhere
Oh, and he caught the
Macho King flush on the chin
With that elbow
I don't think I've ever seen the dream
With so much resilience
He's been beaten
From pillar to post
He was hammered with a bell
A steel bell
In the back of the head
Just moments ago
Maybe that was the problem
Macho hit him in the head
Oh my, I don't do it
I don't care how tough you are
I'll come to the aisle, slow you down
The top rope
The dream catches him, drives him back
And again, Sherry distracting
And look at her from behind
And Sherry levels her
Now you tell me
How she's gonna hold her hand to the log
Of McMahon
Sapphire back to her feet
Sapphire grabs the ankle again
Drops Sherry down
Okay, Jesse
You tell me from behind
Oh, come on
Don't you care
Oh, look at this
Oh yeah
The dream
And this is just mild
McMahon compared to what's gonna happen
Next Sunday
Wow, I don't wanna miss that one
The first ever
Mixed Tag Team match
In World Wrestling Federation history
And we're getting a little sampling
Of it right here
Come on, ref
That's enough, that'll do it right there
Touch of disqualification
Blatant disqualification
She's gone too far, Sapphire
We're ahead for her, yanks her off
All four
individuals going at it
We got chaos all over
The place now, McMahon
And Sapphire
Back again
And Rhodes is getting
Look at this
Get back in there, Sapphire
That is two times now that Rhodes has manhandled a woman
Manhandled
You heard me
He should be ashamed of himself
Where I come from
You don't treat women that way, McMahon
Just where do you come from, Jessel?
We know one thing
We're coming from the sky though
Next Sunday afternoon
As we see the first ever
World Wrestling Federation
Mixed Tag Team matchup
And wow
I just can't imagine
What is going to happen
A sampling
Of what we're going to see next Sunday
There is a very different
No
I'm not joking, better watch what he's doing now
He better save something
For next Sunday
Do it, do it, Sapphire
Is that Ren reinforced?
Finally the official's out
They want to get the Macho King out of there
He's caused enough problems
For once
Who's that fat guy with glasses?
I don't know if the Macho King is going to
Boot him in the head in a minute if he don't get out of there
Sherry and the Macho King
Being asked to go back
To the dressing room area
Save it, save it for next Sunday
And you can believe me
That they will
The Macho King will be more determined
Than ever
I told you before
There's the man, the only man in the world
Capable of taking on two heavyweight champions
In one night
Well he has to take on
Along with his tag team partner
Sensational Queen Sherry
Two more heavyweights
Of a different kind
The American Dream Dusty Rhodes
And Sweet Sapphire
Boy you got that right
Ha, two more heavyweights
There's a heavyweight
And it could very well be
That the Macho King and Sensational Sherry
Have a new appreciation
Of polka dots
On the aisle
At a total combined weight
Of 385 pounds
Macho King
Randy Savage
And
Sensational
Queen Sherry
Take a look
At this capacity crowd
Looking on
As the Macho King and Sensational Queen
Make their way down here
A precedent set here
For the World Wrestling Federation
A mixed tag team matchup
Have they ever looked
Any better, Gorilla?
Well I'm not sure
Mack, why don't you get down on your knees
Right now
It's a show of little respect
I'm surprised
And I'm standing
I mean they look great
Harry and Leona
Have never looked any better
Macho King in his glory
Former World Wrestling Federation
Champion, former Intercontinental Champion
Boy he's done it all here
You know the great thing about the
Macho King and Queen, Gorilla
They pay their taxes
I'm sure they do
However, they will have their hands full
Here in the Sky Dome
I'll agree with that
They will literally have their hands full
Tons of fun
With the American Dream, Dusty Rose
And Sapphire
Macho King who loves this
Doesn't he, Jax?
He loves this poppin' ceremony
Doesn't he?
Look at all the
Look at all the serpents
Paying homage to the King and Queen
And he can back it up
Inside that ring as well
And so can she
She certainly can
She looks like something from
Snow White
With that outfit she's got on
Yes
With Dusty Rose and Sapphire
Might as well be the Seven Dwarfs
Right?
I didn't say that
Look at the respect
In comes the King
As he ever
Looked any better, Gorilla
Definitely not
What an outfit
Oh
Why don't you hear
This place go wild
He's just a
He's just a common man
And here he comes
Coming down the aisle
With a two of a kind way
For the six of a kind
Of the team
Of the American Dream
Dusty Rose
And
Sapphire
Wait a minute, Gorilla, wait just a minute
Make that with a combined weight of
Four hundred sixty-five pounds
Oh, I don't know, I didn't hear
You're telling me that Rose only weighs two hundred?
Oh, I didn't hear that
Because I know damn well Sapphire
Weighs two and a half
I'm so wrapped up in the excitement
The electricity that's here in the Skydome
I'm not looking down on the body weight
Five sixty-five, five by five
But no four sixty-five
Nobody's seen it
Here in Skydome
It's the American Dream
A lot of scores will be settled here
Dusty just chased
The Macho King right out of there
Stop the music
Uh-oh
Oh, yeah
I got something for you tonight, baby
baby. Oh no, you know what? I know what you're missing in
royalty. We know what you don't got and we got. We got the
crown soon. The first lady of the World Wrestling Federation,
Elizabeth. What? What is she doing here? The first lady of the World Wrestling Federation, former manager of the Macho King, Elizabeth. What a surprise. I love it.
Listen to this ovation. You know what, gorilla? Elizabeth must dream that the Macho King will take her back. Otherwise, why would she be showing up? She's joined forces with the dream of a sapphire. Can't you see that?
Well, then she's nuts. Look at how lovely she is.
Boys, Sherry doesn't like it one bit. Well, can you blame her?
You know, she always was a camera.
Do I really have to look at sapphire?
I mean, sapphire ever heard of slim fast or whatever that stuff is? I think she bulked up for this match. Yeah, maybe oatmeal and sardines, anything.
Bell's gone. We're underway. And I think, gorilla, we should explain now in a mixed tag match, the men against the men, the women against the women, and they can't interchange. That's correct. If a guy's in the ring, he's got to wrestle the guy. You won't see the guy against the girl. I personally don't see why with women, you know, in the women's movement. I can understand why you don't see why. I mean, I'd love to see sapphire take on the Macho King.
Look at this.
Any angle but that one. Move that cameraman around to a different angle.
Now Rhodes has got to get out. He is out. Wait a minute now. That is illegal right there. It certainly is. He has no right to put his hands on Sherry.
Oh, she's certainly got the hips to do that, don't she? She sure does.
Got that rhythm.
You're gonna have to do more than that than a former ladies champion. I'm afraid so.
You called that one, Gorilla. Sherry made a mistake. Sapphire made the tag. Even Sherry can't slam 250 pounds.
Now she's got to get out of there. Look, is she getting out? No. Now she does.
Beautiful clothesline by the Dream. Caught the Macho King coming in. What's this? Wait a minute now.
Oh, I love it. Why isn't the referee doing something about this? He is. He's refereeing the match.
I suppose you want him to do something about that too.
I have never seen two people break rules more than Sapphire and Rhodes.
Over the top rope and down to the floor here. That's where the action has gone. And the Macho King unloading now on the Dream.
Wow, what right hands. Look at this. There's your friend in action right now, Jess. Yeah, what did he do?
Nothing. It's she. Macho could have went over and laid into Sapphire. No, God bonds away by the rules.
Stubble on the table. He nailed him. The Dream's in deep trouble.
Now lookit. Sherry's just going to help him back in like he did to her. Yeah, with a knee lift right in the kisser.
Wait a minute. Rhodes touched Sherry first. Right? Yeah, because she was strong.
Anything he gets, he deserves. He started it. Well, why not let them all get in there? All four of them at once.
Wait a minute, Monsoon. Rhodes started it. You're condoning everything. Certainly, because Rhodes started it.
Look out. Macho Man in his favorite spot. The Macho King unloads again.
The Dream is in deep trouble here. He's getting clobbered.
Look at this. Sapphire around the save. Standing right in front of the Dream.
Nail her, Macho. Jump right off. I don't believe you said that.
Hey, she wants to play lumberjack. Let her carry her. Oh, look at that.
All right. Hey, she hit Macho first. Sapphire manhandled by the Macho King.
Elizabeth coming to her aid. And now once again.
The Macho King unloads on the Dream. Almost a three count.
Sapphire deserves anything she gets because she struck the Macho King first.
The same way Rhodes nailed Sherry first.
Suplex. Dusty's in trouble. Two count O.
Elizabeth, the cheering section over there.
What's he got? He's got the sensor. Certainly does.
Look out. Right on the back of the head. Ding.
You heard that? I did. I'm just adding sound effects. Yeah, I'm sure.
Macho King is wasting time here. It was kind of a hollow ring too, wasn't it?
Like, you know, vacuum. I didn't notice that. You wouldn't.
Oh, look at this. Yeah, Sherry's going to pin him.
Highly unlikely.
Because they're not your favorite. No, because they were double teaming.
Wait a minute. Rhodes and Sapphire started it not soon. You can't change what everyone saw.
As much as you like to, you can't change it. This is a precedent.
History is being made here. This is the first time, and you know all the rules.
I know the rules that Rhodes grabbed Sherry first, that Sapphire struck the Macho King first.
Well, maybe she had it covered. Oh, look at this.
Aveil off the shoulders, down for the cover now.
She's a little bottom heavy, isn't she? Certainly appears that way.
Maybe better for Leverage. Here we go.
Now the fight begins. Whoa, what a feel.
Oh, and Elizabeth Rhodes, Sapphire, back inside.
Now what do you call that? That's three against two.
That was a suplex. That's what you call that. Yeah, but it's three against two.
Macho King had to come in and make the save there, and this one was over.
Sure, because you got Elizabeth. Look at this.
Right over the back of Sapphire. One, two, that's over.
They got it. That's stuck. That's stuck.
The winner is the American Dream and Sapphire.
Why don't they bring Elizabeth in there too?
American Dream, Elizabeth Rhodes, and Elizabeth.
Yeah, she should be. It was three against two, Gorilla.
That was real fair. I love it.
A threesome with their hands raised and a token of victory.
And the Macho King doesn't like it.
The Dream has got the center, but the win definitely goes to the American Dream.
Sapphire, and of course you have to include Elizabeth.
There goes the Macho King. He's not too happy.
And you can bet the sensational queen's serious isn't either.
Oh, look at this now. Elizabeth getting down as well.
The Dream loving it. And so is Elizabeth.
I've never seen her this happy.
History has been made here at Sky Dome at WrestleMania 6.
Everybody loves Elizabeth.
Fantastic matchup. Plenty more action still to come.
Don't sit there, go away. We got a lot more coming.
I must say I'm impressed with the ravishing Rick Rood's training regimen.
Absolutely. You got any idea what it takes McMahon to overhead press 315 for reps?
No, you wouldn't, would you?
Oh, look out here. Who is on his way to ringside?
Yeah, who is with him on his way to ringside?
The Queen 288 on baseball tour country, Dusty Rood.
Why was this called a handicapped match instead of a mixed tag?
You don't understand. What, did you see a different match?
Wait a minute. It seems to me there were three people on that side.
Look out, look out. Savage with the purse. Savage with Jerry's purse just knocked Dusty Rood's cold.
Oh, come on. Sapphire trying to protect Dusty Rood from Ohio. Oh, no. The shoe.
Jerry bouncing Sapphire. Look at this. Hey, you know the old saying, if you want to dance to the music, eventually you'll pay the fiddler.
Oh, my. And Sapphire is going to pay the fiddler. And so is Rhoades. Look at this. He's out cold.
Wow, the Macho King driving that elbow down. And Sherry just all over Sapphire. You notice now, McMahon, when it's not three against two. Look at this, driving the knees into the chest area.
Now when it's two on two, you can see the Macho King and Queen at the upper hand. Again from the top. Where's Elizabeth now? Oh, no.
To the outside, Dusty Rood looting Sapphire and Sherry all along. Look at this. I love it. Pity bad time. Oh, no. Come on. Somebody's got to stop this.
Sapphire being choked by Sherry by her claw. And kicks. This is humiliating. Dusty Rood getting up and not for long. There from the top. Oh, just a moment ago.
The Macho King and Sherry continues to batter Sapphire. Oh, yeah. Now, sweet Sapphire, you're going to show some respect and pay homage to the Macho King.
By kissing the feet of the Macho King. Oh, yeah.
Oh, come on. Oh, no. Come on. She's dragging all over the ring. Oh, come on. This is the most humiliating thing I've ever seen.
Look at this. Rose comes in and is beating up a woman. Can you imagine that? Macho King never laid one hand on Sapphire. And what does Dusty do? Comes in and belts Queen Sherry.
Dusty Rood doesn't run anywhere around Sapphire.
There's really nothing at all humorous about this. I think it's great. You know this when it's two on two who wins. WrestleMania was three against two. Dusty Rood is crying. He's actually crying. I'd be crying too if I got humiliated like that. I don't even know why he's still in front of a camera.
I think it's great. Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, ladies and gentlemen, at this time, I'd like to introduce to you a man who is the star of his own television show. A man who spreads love wherever he goes. Here is Brother Love.
Hello, everyone. I'm Gorilla Monsoon along with Bobby the Brain Heenan, exclusively here for Coliseum Home Video. This is WWF's hottest matches. Unfortunately, we have to put up with this. Well, this man spreads it wherever he goes. Oh, he sure does. Thick too. I mean, love. Yeah, heavy.
Tranquil music makes you want to lay back and think about all the beautiful things in life. Makes you want to bark. How sincere that is. You've noticed that too. Yeah.
I'll tell you, when I've gotten down and depressed, I've talked to Brother Love and he's giving me a whole new outlook on life. He keeps you going. Oh, yeah. He's only happy when he's got his hand in somebody else's pocket. I love you.
And now, brothers and sisters, the moment that you have all been waiting for. And I think it only appropriate that each and every one of you rise to your feet and bow in servitude to the macho king.
Somebody is going to allow this misfit to stay out there while this match is going on. This dredge of society.
You're talking about Brother Love like that? You gotta let him know how you feel. I hope you do. He's not going to like it. But you can't make him mad. He has so much love oozing through his veins. You can't make him mad.
He just has an air about himself.
Taking his way down now, the macho king, Randy Savage, accompanied by a sensational queen.
She's my fold out, my pin up girl.
You know, when he had that World Wrestling Federation Championship, I didn't like him.
I put all my men up against him, but I'll tell you something, he gained my respect.
She's got eyes for Brother Love. Look at this up there. Sparks are flying. She's got eyes for everything that wears a pair of pants.
That's something you won't see on Love Connection.
And look at Elizabeth.
I guess she's going to stay out in ringside his wall frame and sort of counteract Brother Love.
When everybody talks about Elizabeth and her beauty and how attractive and glamorous this woman is, you must admit she's going to look a little bit like Minnie Pearl next this week.
Sensational sherry.
I think she's cute in a gaudy kind of way.
And Sapphire, what can you say?
Like I said, in a kind of a cheap kind of way. I mean, yeah, her clothes isn't that expensive. Gaudy, you know.
People don't wear ribbons anymore.
This feature of traction is underway.
You wear ribbons in your hair if you're in the third grade.
This should be an interesting matchup.
Let me get this straight.
This is a tag match.
Brother Love's not ready to get in there.
One referee is not going to be able to control this.
You know Savage is tempered. You know how the American Dream responds to that.
And you know, sensational sherry, the Queen cannot be stopped.
Elizabeth's out of her league.
He was just letting the American Dream know that he's ready.
Oh, yeah, baby.
Before I get to you today, I'm going to whip that redface pumpkin's ass right here and hunt him to death.
