The recognized symbol of excellence in sports entertainment.
Welcome to the Superstars of Wrestling, coming to you this week from the Bon Bon Center Center in Hutchville, Alabama.
One of the city's most famous facilities is the Alabama Space and Rocket Center, which happens to be the world's largest space museum and the home to NASA's United States Space Camp.
Hello everyone, and welcome to the Superstar of Wrestling at ringside, this is Vince McMahon along with wrestling's living legend Bruno San Martino, and of course a graduate of the space camp, but in a different way, Jesse the Body Ventura.
That's because I'm always flying high.
Some would say that yes indeed we're ready for action we certainly hope you are as well.
Welcome to the Superstar of Wrestling, scheduled to join us, World Wrestling Federation Champion, Hulk Hogan, in a special interview concerning this Friday night's matchup one on one, the title up for grabs when he meets Andre the Giant.
From there, we will see the debut of Bad News Brown, and then from there, the Hockey Talk man will join us, along with Jake the Snake Roberts, likewise an individual competition, and then batting down the hatches for tag team action, here come the Islanders, along with the Ultimate Warrior, all of those and more, but right now let's go up to ringside.
This contest is scheduled for one fall, in the ring to my right from San Antonio, Texas, weighing 232 pounds, Omar Ezeklos, and his opponent,
and of course, the weight by his manager, Colonel Jimmy Hart, and escorted by his girlfriend, Peggy Sue, from Memphis, Tennessee, weighing 247 pounds, the Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion, the Hockey Talk man.
The Hockey Talk man.
McMahon, can't you just visualize me on piano right now?
Yes, what did he refer to you as? As Jerry Lee Ventura?
No, Jesse Lee Ventura. He's my middle name.
Look at this.
Hockey Talk man.
And you know, the fun thing was, Oakland waited around and got the results, and Hockey Talk and us won.
We were the winners at the Slammys.
No, that's not the way I heard it.
Not the way I heard it at all. Now, look at the Hockey Talk man, preparing for the matchup.
Well, remember, only Seca knows for sure.
That's true.
Bruno, what do you think of the vocal performance of the Hockey Talk man at the Slammys?
Well, I've got to be honest, as much as I don't like his tactics and so forth, he's conducted himself as a champion, but I thought he was pretty good.
Actually, I thought Jimmy Hart was quite good with girls in cars, although he got us come up and tough for sure.
Strike force walking away with all the lovely young ladies.
You know, how come you don't rave about Peggy Sue the way you do about Elizabeth McMahon?
It's easy.
Yeah, it sure is easy.
You don't find her attractive?
I don't find her unattractive, but I hardly don't find her...
I understand the fact that she dresses like the 50s and you're a product of the 40s, so I can see where there'd be a relation problem there.
No, I just don't think that Peggy Sue has the character and has the integrity, not to mention the beauty.
Hockey Talk, jamming the elbow down.
Macho Man had a word to say about this Friday night.
Here's what he had to say.
Ooh, yeah, this Friday night.
This Friday night is when it happens, yeah, when it happens, yeah.
It's when Elizabeth becomes the manager of the new Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion.
Yeah, this Friday night.
That is going to be something, yes, one of three title matches this Friday night.
A car strike force defending the tag team championship against the Hart Foundation and the big one.
We've all been looking forward to since Russell Maynard three-way back in last March.
Andre the Giant against World Wrestling Federation Champion Hulk Hogan.
And I don't know, for one, with Ted DiBiase in the corner, that concerns me.
Why? In what way would it bother you to have DiBiase in the corner? You think he'll interfere?
Anything could happen. There's a shake, a rattle, and there's a roll.
Hockey Talk on Omar Atlas, and he gets a three-goal.
Now, you notice the Hockey Talk doesn't pick up Omar Atlas and do more damage.
Toomey got the pick, please.
Peggy Sue in there, twisting and shouting along with a Hockey Talk man.
Don't tell me he's going to play the guitar.
I hope so.
Here is your winner, the Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion, the Hockey Talk Man.
I don't know.
Oh, yeah.
Thank you very much. You're beautiful. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you, my girl, Peggy Sue. Thank you, Peggy Sue. I love you.
Don't be cruel. You can bet the match on me.
You can bet the match on me. There's going to be a cruel come this Friday night.
Let's take you now, ladies and gentlemen, to the end of the show.
From the pages of the World Wrestling Federation Magazine, here's Uptake with Craig DeJorge.
Hello again, everyone. Friday night, this Friday night, live from Indianapolis, Indiana,
you will have the opportunity to see one of the great cards in World Wrestling Federation history.
Three titles on the line, live nationwide television, broadcast time, 8 p.m. Eastern.
More now on the matches.
Strike Force will defend its tag team championship against the former champs, the Heart Foundation.
This, of course, a rematch from their bout in October, a bout that saw the title change hands on a submission,
a submission to this day Jim The Anvil Knightheart still denies.
Also for the Intercontinental Championship, the hunky dog man defends against the macho man, Randy Savage.
And when you think about the matchup, certainly that ugly sequence of events is brought to mind,
referring, of course, to their last nationwide meeting.
What jeopardy she placed herself in just trying to protect Randy Savage. And there was that foul creep, Rebecca Tara. Oh no! Oh no!
Elizabeth shoved down from the canvas by a hunky dog man standing over her.
Look at that. What humiliation. But at least she saved Randy Savage. That's all she wanted to do. And she's done a good job of it.
The macho man, of course, will have all the incentives in the world as he battles hunky-ton for the Intercontinental Crown Friday night.
And, of course, also on tap, World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight champ, Hulk Hogan, against 7'5", 525 pound Andre the Giant,
their first battle since WrestleMania III. First matchup one-on-one, that is, because, as you may recall,
the Giant did manage to intervene in one of the Hulk's matches a few weeks ago.
The music playing, Hulk's just closing. Andre from behind.
Whoa! Look at the look. Look at the look on Andre's face. He's choking on Hulk's back. Look at this.
I can't believe it. Hogan looks helpless to me.
Andre trying to choke the leg out of the World Wrestling Federation champion.
What are you talking about trying to choke it? He is choking him down. Look at Hogan.
Hulk coming back up. Hulk's here on his feet. Andre rocking it down goes Hulk Hogan.
I can't believe it. Hogan looks helpless. Look at how small Hogan looks next to the size of Andre the Giant.
You know, there is another vital point here. That is Ted DiBiase's recent purchase of Andre the Giant's services,
which could result in the million dollar man actually being handed the Heavyweight Championship, should the Giant win.
This Friday night, this Friday night Andre and all comes to pass. Everything that I said would happen will happen.
All of you people out there said that you didn't have a price for the million dollar man.
And then I showed you, each and every one of you, that you did indeed have a price for me.
And oh you Hogan, you thought that you would be the exception to the rule. But no.
I told you, by hook or by crook, I always get what I want.
And I want the World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight title right here. And this is the hook.
This is the hook that's going to deliver it to me. Andre, tell him what you're going to do.
Hulk Hogan, this Friday night I just want to make this man happy.
And I will do it, Hogan. I will grab you and finish it the squeeze I started.
And then when I get it, when I will know it's enough, I will pick up the belt and deliver the belt.
You see it, Hogan. You see it. It's mine. It's mine.
Alright, this Friday night, this Friday night, three title matches live on nationwide television at 8 p.m. Eastern,
including Hulk Hogan as he defends against Andre the Giant for the World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Championship.
Going to be something else. With Update, I'm Craig DeGeorge.
It's the Comedy Company.
And Amanda thinks she's so good at French, but she doesn't even know where French is.
It's irreverent. It's outrageous and it's so funny.
The Comedy Company, 7.30 Sunday on 10.

Get happy.
Dolmio spaghetti sauces are made from the finest natural ingredients, deliciously blended to create the natural taste of a great spaghetti sauce.
With plump tomatoes, the finest herbs. That's Dolmio.
We put the good things in so you'll wear the Dolmio grin.
Shouldn't you make your next move?
Shouldn't you catch a later flight?
Shouldn't you bring him?
Shouldn't you land chew? Because land chew only chews choice small leaf tea for that classic distinctive taste.
Shouldn't you land chew?
Yes, as you can see I've got pimples. I don't like them, but I'm stuck with them. They just come up from nowhere.
Around the cheeks mainly.
We asked them to try the Topex 5 Day Test.
Why should Topex be any different?
Because Topex breaks the acne cycle. It dries pimples on top and penetrates below to kill acne bacteria and help clear and prevent pimples.
Topex works. I'd say give Topex a try for sure.
Break the acne cycle. Try the Topex 5 Day Test.
It has worked for me.
This contestant is going to go for a long fall. About to enter the ring, weighing 275 pounds, the Ultimate Warrior.
Here's the opponent from Tampa, Florida, weighing 241 pounds, Terry Gibbs.
Look at the expression on Terry Gibbs. He doesn't know what to make of the Ultimate Warrior. He's going to work on him right about now though.
Terry Gibbs may have been making a mistake here. I don't know. Warrior reversing things though. Look at that. Yes. Oh wow.
I think Gibbs figured out better attack first and see if I can injure him from the beginning and maybe have a shot. Look at this guy. He's awesome.
He is awesome. 270. Oh, he's scraping him up after that one.
Oh, Warrior. What a number he did on Gibbs. What a shot.
Not everyone I think though is impressed with the Ultimate Warrior. We spoke with an individual earlier on who is not impressed.
You know to step into the arena and have the gall to have the nerve to call yourself the Ultimate Warrior is one thing.
But they will step into the arena with the mighty Hercules and have the guts to prove it as another.
Hercules.
