WWF 92: What the WORLD is Watching...

[birdthrill]

3:30 AM

Four Seasons Hotel

Phoenix, Arizona

Vince McMahon: (in bed, wakes up to the phone) What...it's 3:30 AM. You want want?

Hogan (on other line): I wanna talk. I've got a great idea about the WWF Title!

McMahon: Idea? I already told you we're giving it to Flair you already convinced me to get it off the Undertaker! What do you want?

Hogan: Alright hear me out. We have Flair win the Rumble but only after Earthquake pulls me through the middle rope. Technically I don't lose so Flair get's the belt. Then I pull the "I didn't lose card" and kill Flair at WrestleMania. But after I win Earthquake comes out and destroys me. I go to the hospital for a while and then I beat him and Typhoon in a handicap match at SummerSlam! What do ya think?

McMahon: (sarcastically) Oh yeah...why don't you main event the Survivor Series with the Gobbeldy Gooker!

Hogan: Seriously? You know we could have him come in a black egg and.....

McMahon: No! Under no circumstances is your idea ever going to take place! As a matter of fact I feel changes coming starting tomorrow! (hangs up). I've got to prepare the WWF for life after Hulk Hogan....cause it's coming sooner than later.....

WWF SUPERSTARS

January 4th 1992

After the opening video package we go straight to Office of the WWF President Jack Tunney who is sitting in his desk. Tunney discusses the WWF Title situation and that the 30 Man Royal Rumble in less than a month will determine the WWF Champion. He announces that 5 men have already been entered; The Undertaker, Nature Boy Ric Flair, Jake Roberts, Macho Man Randy Savage and Rowdy Roddy Piper! Tunney states that until the Royal Rumble he has ordered that the Macho Man and Jake Roberts not be in the same building due to the volatility and possible damage that could be done through an altercation between the two. If one ignores the ruling then they are suspended indefinitely without pay. In the upcoming weeks he will be updating you various times but for now enjoy Superstars.

Vince McMahon and Gorilla are astonished by this announcement and hype the Royal Rumble. They also hype out big main event as the Big Bossman goes toe to toe with IRS. We go to the ring for our first match as the Nasty Boys make their way down the aisle. The Nasty Boys look to get into the title hunt with a win tonight over Chris Walker and Reno Riggins. The Nasties just completely overpower their opponents with their trademark power and attitude. Vince points out that this is far from a scientific classic and he would be right, Knobbs finishes Walker off with a powerslam at about the 6 minute mark. 52-43-61

We quickly throw it backstage to Sean Mooney who is in the locker room with the WWF Intercontinental Champion Bret ‘Hitman’ Hart.

Mooney: I’m here with the WWF Intercontinental Champion Bret Hart and Bret you just heard the announcement by President Jack Tunney, such a big oppurtunity for everyone in the WWF what are your thoughts?

Hitman: Well Sean, every wrestler’s goal here in the WWF is to one day become the World Wrestling Federation Champion. It’s the most prestigious title in the world and the one thing I have yet to accomplish in my career. As much as a I love this title, I would have no problem moving it over to my shoulder to make room for that WWF Title. Those 29 other guys better watch out because the Hitman is in the Royal Rumble to win it!

Mooney: Well, we have another entrant into the Royal Rumble, Bret Hart aspiring to be the second man to hold both the Intercontinental and WWF Championship belts...we will see if he can accomplish this in (Jimmy Hart walks into the room) now wait just a second, Mouth of the South Jimmy Hart what are you doing here?

Jimmy Hart: Oh I’m here for one thing and one thing only baby! Bret Hart! I guarantee you won’t walk out of the Royal Rumble with those two belts, matter of fact I have a feeling you’ll walk out beltless!

Hitman: And how would that work...

Jimmy Hart: Well you call yourself the “Excellence of Execution”, you’ve been defending that belt for months but you keep ducking and dodging the best wrestler in the business...you call yourself a fighting champion...well if you’re such a fighting champion then why don’t you put that title on the line at the Royal Rumble against The Mountie!!

Hitman: (laughing) Alright. You know what, you’ve been bothering me about this for months now and I’m tired of hearing your whiny little voice so go tell the Mountie it would be my pleasure to kick his butt all over the ring at the Royal Rumble!

Jimmy Hart: Oh yes baby...that’s what we like to hear. And you better watch yourself Hitman because the Mountie always gets his man! (leaves)

Mooney: Well Gorilla there you have it, apparently not only will the Hitman be in the Royal Rumble but it looks as if he will be defending his Intercontinental Title against the Mountie as well! Back to you! (85 - Jimmy Hart gained overness)

We return from commercials with the Undertaker making his way down the aisle accompanied by Paul Bearer. Cut to a little kid in the front row crying his eyes out. Gorilla complains about the constant smell of formaldehyde that the Undertaker carries. The Undertaker stares down Barry Horowitz as the bell rings. Barry gets two punches in, they don’t phase Taker and well that was the beginning of the end for Barry. Vince notes that the Undertaker feels as if he should still be WWF Champion if it were not for Hulk Hogan. Taker destroys Barry and ends it with a Tombstone at 4:21. 65-59-71

We cut backstage to Mean Gene Okerlund who is with the Immortal Hulk Hogan!

Hogan: Well you know MEAN GENE, the one thing that all the Hulkamaniacs have been asking me is ‘Hulkster, when are you gonna get the title back?” ‘Hulkster, why aren’t you the champion?” Well you know something, Jack Tunney you’ve got to make up your mind brother! I got cheated out of the title at Survivor Series, you signed the return match and I win but I’m still not the champion! That’s alright though don’t worry my little Hulkamaniacs because in less than a month, the Hulkster’s going into the Royal Rumble and he’s gonna through 29 other men up and over the top rope and after all is said and done, I’ll be in the middle of the ring with the WWF Title over my head brothers with all my Hulkamaniacs who believe in me going crazy so I got one question brother? To all those superstars in the Rumble...WHAT YA GONNA DO? When the 24 INCH PYTHONS AND HULKAMANIA RUNS WILD ON YOU!!! (92)

We cut back to the arena as Rowdy Roddy Piper is making his way down the aisle preparing to take on the Brooklyn Brawler. Vince and Gorilla discuss how that there is no favorite out of the now 7 participants in the Royal Rumble. Vince busts out ‘ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN IN THE WWF!” for the first time in a while. Brawler attacks Piper from behind and gets some nice offense in. Tide changes when Brawler charges the corner and eats boot. Piper goes crazy with some lefts and rights then a poke to the eye. Piper continues with the offensive leading to the Sleeper which gets him the win at 8:12. 52-51-54

After a commercial break advertising WWF action figures we head back to the arena for the main event. IRS calls us all tax cheats as the Big Bossman’s music hits to a nice pop. Vince notes how both these men will be participating in the Royal Rumble. Bossman comes out like a house of fire but a knee to the gut slows him down. IRS works him over with various sleepers and restholds. Ted DiBiase wanders out to ringside and helps IRS cheat throughout the match. IRS gets a couple near falls but Bossman comes back. He hits a couple clotheslines and goes into the ropes but DiBiase trips him. Bossman reaches for DiBiase as IRS tries to capitalize. IRS rushes in but gets caught with the Bossman Slam, giving Bossman the win! 68-65-72. DiBiase tries to get away but he backs up right into Virgil in the aisle. Virgil punches him a couple times and throws him back in the ring. Bossman goes for the nightstick but DiBiase and IRS escape. Bossman and Virgil celebrate as Vince and Gorilla hype the Royal Rumble and thank us for watching!

WRESTLING CHALLENGE

January 5th 1992

Opening montage with Gorilla hyping the big main event of Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage teaming up to face the Beverly Brothers. We open to Gorilla and Bobby Heenan discussing the recent events with the huge Royal Rumble. Brain of course is claiming that Flair will win the Royal Rumble with ease. Gorilla says its anyones ball game as the New Foundation, Owen Hart and Jim Neidhart make their way to the ring for the opening contest. Gorilla points out how the WWF Tag Team Title match will be announced here on Wrestling Challenge, New Foundation trying to make their final case to the President. They’re in the ring to take on the team of Bob Bradley and Kevin Krueger. Neidhart uses his power with Owen using his speed to take an early advantage. Bradley rakes Owen in the eyes and takes the brief advantage. Owen fights back however and tags in Neidhart. The Anvil beats on everyone and slams Krueger in the middle of the ring. Neidhart backs up to the corner, Owen gets on his shoulder and his the Rocket Launcher. Anvil covers and they get the win at 7:21. 51-39-63

We go to the President of the WWF Jack Tunney who is at his desk with more announcements. He points out the wide openness and array of competing tag teams in the WWF. But he has chosen one team as the number one contenders and at the Royal Rumble they will challenge for the Tag Team Championship. This team is the Natural Disasters who will take on the Legion of Doom for the Tag Titles at the Rumble! Also Tunney makes the Bret Hart/Mountie match offical. Cut to commericals.

Back from commercials and Koko B Ware is flapping away in his big hammer pants. Then the Nature Boy’s music hits and the Brain goes absolutely nuts. Flair struts down the aisle and reveals the “Real World’s Championship” belt. Gorilla calls it a joke and Brain gets very very upset. Match starts out slow with Flair taunting and just being him. He gets an early advantage but Koko uses his speed to get the advantage. Flair flops galore. Flair goes up top and naturally gets slammed off. Flair begs off yelling “NOOOO!” on his knees. Koko searches the crowd for approval and Flair goes low. Flair works on the knee and gets the Figure Four for the win! 70-76-59

We go backstage to Sean Mooney who is with the ‘Heartbreak Kid’ Shawn Michaels and Sensational Sherri!

Michaels: Well before you open the ugly face of yours and try to same something smart I got an announcement to make. See this figure of beauty on your television people. Well you’re looking at the next World Wrestling Federation Champion because I’m entering the Royal Rumble and no one can beat me. Now go ahead and ask away geek.

Mooney: Well I was just going to ask how can you live with yourself after what you did to your partner and friend Marty Jannetty?

Michaels: How can I live? Easy. When you look this good life comes real easy. I mean I’ve got girls coming at me from left and right all the time so that’s now problem. Jannetty...he just wasn’t good looking enough to stick with me. I had to drop him because lets face it I’m twice the man he ever will be.

Mooney: It’s amazing the amount of disrespect that you are showing. Well I’m sure that tone will change at the Royal Rumble because you do know that you are scheduled to be in one on one competition against Greg ‘The Hammer’ Valentine!

Michaels: Oh...my....not....the Hammer! Haha but seriously how old is he like 63? I’ll have no problem putting him out of action just like I put Jannetty out of action and just like I’ll become the World Wrestling Federation Champion. Face it punk I’m the hottest thing going around here. And this interview is over! 79

Mooney: Quite the arrogant young man that Shawn Michaels is....what an attitude change! Well Mean Gene, I’ll throw it you and hope you’re in better luck.

Mean Gene: Well Sean you would be wrong as I am here with the Mountie! Mountie, the Hitman had some strong words for you on Superstars!

Mountie: Correction! I am the next Intercontinental Champion the Mountie get it right! I’m handsome! I’m brave! I’m strong! And THe Hitman will be in for the 'shock' (looks at tazor stick) of a lifetime. And at the Royal Rumble, Bret Hart will never know what hit him. The Mountie always gets his man! 65

Mean Gene: Well Gorilla back to you...

Gorilla is disgusted by Shawn’s actions and Brain defends him. We go to commercial. After the commercial break, Gorilla notes how the Royal Rumble is shaping up to be one of the best of all time. Gorilla adds that more men will be adding their names to the Royal Rumble in the coming week. Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts’s music hits but Jake doesn’t come out. He’s scheduled to take on Barry Hardy. Gorilla points out that the Macho Man is in the building which means Roberts can’t be! Hardy celebrates thinking he has actually won a match but the bell tolls. The Undertaker slowly makes his way down the aisle much to Hardy’s dismay. Undertaker systematically destroys Hardy and ends it with a Choke Slam at 3:21. 53-49-58

Gorilla and Bobby continue to hype the Royal Rumble and announce that the British Bulldog vs. Skinner has been signed for the Royal Rumble! They then throw it to Sean Mooney who is with the Undertaker and Paul Bearer.

Bearer: Oooooh yes Sean Mooney...what you just saw was the power of my Undertaker. And for those 29 superstars who even think they have a chance they should come again. Ooooh yes.

Undertaker: All of you....will feel the wrath of the Undertaker...you can’t hurt what is already dead....and after the Royal Rumble....my path of destruction will truely begin....(80 - Paul Bearer gains overness)

The Beverly Brothers make their way down the aisle as Gorilla and Bobby hype the Mega Powers teaming for the first time in a while. The Genius goes to start a poem but Macho Man’s music hits and out he comes. Brain wonders why they aren’t coming out together, perhaps teasing dissension. Hogan’s music hits and the roof blows off the place. Hogan and Savage make quick tags and dominate the early portion of the match. The Beverly’s cheat and cut the ring and half against Savage. False tag not seen by ref. Savage hits a double clothesline and tags in Hogan. Hogan HULKS UP and hits the Legdrop on Blake for the 1...2...3! 76-74-78

Mega Powers celebrate as Gorilla and Bobby hype Prime Time Wrestling. Fade to black.

PRIME TIME WRESTLING

January 6th 1992

Opening montage and we start with a recap of the events from this weekend’s shows. Gorilla runs down the Royal Rumble card and announces that more people have entered into the Royal Rumble including the Texas Tornado who is making his way to the ring to take on the Berzerker. Tornado gets beaten on early and often. A tornado punch turns the tide. Solid offense by Tornado leads to the Claw and the victory at 8:23. 57-61-51 (Berzerker didn’t sell much which affected the match rating)

We go backstage to Sean Mooney who is with Mr. Perfect.

Perfect: You know it’s funny. I sat back this weekend, you know after my everyday workout and I watched all of these idiots every single one of thing saying that they're gonna win. And really I'm tired of everyone saying how they are gonna win so I'm gonna let my actions speak louder than my words. That's right I'll be the first to not talk about the Royal Rumble. Instead I gotta work for El Mexicano. Hey. You may be a good bullfighter but I'm perfect and this weekend on Superstars I'll show you just how good I am... 78

Cut to Mean Gene who is with Jimmy Hart and The Natural Disasters.

Jimmy Hart: Oh yeah baby! The Royal Rumble is looking like just the perfect night for the Mouth of the South baby! The Mountie is going to wipe the mat with Bret Hart and then the Legion of Doom is in for a whole lot of trouble. First they’ll be hit with the big Typhoon! And then they’ll be filled with a huge Earthquake! And the Aftershock will be sure Doom the LOD!! Haha oh yeah baby Animal, Hawk you two are not going to be able to beat the Natural Disasters you might as well hand over the belts now baby! 71

Gorilla notes that this could be the toughest challenge for the Legion of Doom so far. Brain says there is no way they can beat the Natural Disasters...they’re just too big. The Orient Express makes their way down the aisle for in-ring action as we go to commercial. We come back and bingo the Legion Of Doom is making their way down the aisle. Non-title match as Kato and Tanaka impress by cutting of the ring on Hawk. Hot tag a couple times but the ref didn’t see it. Finally Animal gets in and is on fire until Mr. Fuji hits him with the cane. Orient Express almost win but Animal tags Hawk in and he is on fire. Fuji tries to cane again but he gets knocked down. Tanaka is backdropped over the top. Doomsday Device ends it for Kato at 14:21. 75-69-94

We cut backstage to Mean Gene Okerlund who is with Hulk Hogan. Hogan starts to speak but in comes the Nature Boy. Flair proclaims that Hulkamania is in its dying days with the Royal Rumble as the nail in the coffin. Flair says not only will he win but he’ll eliminate Hogan himself. Hogan laughs and says Hulkamania can never die because of the four principles and all of the little Hulkamaniacs and that Flair is a joke. Flair states he’s the Real World’s Champ and Hogan is a has-been and leaves with a WHOO! 97

We return to the arena where the Brain is ranting and raving about Flair. “Will you stop it” from Gorilla. Hercules is in the ring with Slick and Slick is getting FUNKY! He’s dancing however quickly halts as the Hitman Bret Hart makes his way down the aisle to a nice pop. Brain questions if its smart to be fighting someone like Hercules so close to a big IC title defense. Hercules attacks from behind and uses power moves to his advantage. Hart uses his speed to fight back and takes control. He hits the five moves of doom and then locks in the Sharpshooter for the submission victory at 9:21. 65-64-67

We come back from commercial break and Gorilla recaps the events that happened on Superstars between Money Inc and Big Bossman and Virgil. Gorilla sees this is as a grudge match especially with Bossman and DiBiase fighting at the Royal Rumble in a match. Money Inc enters the ring with their usual swagger. Bossman and Virgil sprint to the ring and the Bossman really wants a piece of DiBiase. Virgil insists on starting the match and naturally gets whooped. Money Inc work on Virgil forever as Bossman gets real real antsy. Virgil finally makes the tag at the 12 minute mark and Bossman goes crazy on IRS. DiBiase is the legal man but remains on the outside. DiBiase finally comes in and tries to sneak attack but Bossman catches him. Bossman clotheslines him over the top rope and DiBiase has had enough retreating to the back! Bossman and Virgil win by countout. 76-72-80 Gorilla can’t wait for the Bossman to finally get his hands on DiBiase!

Gorilla goes over all of the participants in the Royal Rumble so far; Undertaker, Ric Flair, Jake Roberts, Randy Savage, Roddy Piper, Bret Hart, Hulk Hogan. Big Bossman, IRS, Ted DiBiase, The Mountie, Texas Tornado, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, The Warlord, Shawn Michaels, Sid Justice, Mr. Perfect, Rick Martel, El Matador, Rick Martel, Earthquake, Repo Man, Virgil, British Bulldog, Berzerker.

Sid Justice’s music hits and he comes out to a large pop. Gorilla points out how Sid is undefeated and could be the favorite to win the Royal Rumble. Brain says he is the one man who scares him in the Rumble match and hopes that The Model gets Sid in the Boston Crab tonight and injures him. This is of course the main event. The Model struts around but Sid has had enough and just clotheslines the hell out of the Model. Sid pretty much kills Model save for a few moments. Powerbomb makes it a done deal as Brain has a heart attack thinking of Sid throwing Flair over the top. 71-71-72

JANUARY 11TH 1992

Vince McMahon: Well I'm liking the direction we're going in and everyth...hold on one second I'm on the other line. Hello? WHAT??? TELL ME THIS IS SOME KIND OF SICK JOKE? I knew I shouldn't have put them in the ring at all! That no good backstabbing..if he thinks his little plan is going to work think again! (hangs up)

Gee...boss none to happy. Turns out at a house show which had The Undertaker & Ric Flair vs. Hulk Hogan & Sid Justice, Hogan injured Flair's eye and he's out for two months. Word backstage is Hogan did it on purpose after Vince's refusal to execute his plan.

WWF officials were very impressed by the Orient Express having such a great match with the Legion Of Doom. So much so that if this performance continues they may actually win a match. Not sure though...

Many have wondered why Greg Valentine is facing Shawn Michaels at the Royal Rumble and not...hmmm anyone else. Well they wanted to save up all the more over midcarders for later thus sticking Valentine in this spot. The original match was him against Koko B Ware but Koko screwed himself over by not selling for Ric Flair on Wrestling Challenge.

Management is pretty high on the British Bulldog lately so look for him to get some sort of push starting at the Rumble.

Mr. Perfect who was not supposed to return to in ring action until the winter months decided to test his back early with a few matches here and there. Officials aren't sure what to do with him but he'll be booked strongly.

McMahon was said to be irate for about 30 minutes when Flair got hurt but is now resorting to his Plan B for the Road To WrestleMania. Flair will be back by then but most likely will not have a high profile match due to a lack of build. But enough of me and my gossiping.

SUPERSTARS PREVIEW

In the main event Mr. Perfect takes on El Matador Tito Santana!

The Undertaker takes on Virgil!

Shawn Michaels will be in action!

Jake 'The Snake' will be in action as well!

And much much more as we get closer to the Royal Rumble!

[birdthrill]

WWF SUPERSTARS

January 11th 1992

Opening montage with an emphasis put on the main event between Mr. Perfect and El Matador Tito Santana! . We immediately begin the evening with a pre-taped message from the President of the WWF Jack Tunney who informs us that due his constant desire to continue to wear the "Real World Championship" belt that he will be suspended without pay for 2 months! This means he will not be competing in the Royal Rumble and his spot will be replaced. He throw it to Vince and Gorilla who are in shock over the events that took place. While they discuss this Virgil makes his way down the aisle to meet the Undertaker. Undertaker arrives on the scene staring a hole right through Virgil. Virgil goes on the attack but it's just not his day as the Undertaker takes the offense with ease. He systematically wears down Virgil and finishes him off with a Tombstone at 5:31. 72-75-67

We go backstage to Mean Gene Okerlund who is in the locker room.

Mean Gene: Thank you Vince and Gorilla, let me bring in a man who in just a few weeks time will meet the 'Million Dollar Man' Ted DiBiase at the Royal Rumble, the Big Bossman! (enter Bossman) Now Bossman you seem particularly pumped for this encounter.

Bossman: Oh you can bet that for sure Mean Gene. Ted DiBiase! You walk around with your expensive cars and your expensive clothes and you think that makes you better then everyone else! Well you gotta another thing coming boy! I'm tired of seeing you prince and prance around with that little laugh of yours, treating everyone else like crap! That's why at the Royal Rumble I can't wait to show you what Hard Times is all about!

Mean Gene: Well you have a brief encounter with DiBiase last week on PrimeTime Wrestling but it seems to not have left you satisfied.

Bossman: Oh no see that was typical sleazeball DiBiase to just run away from the beating that he deserved! Well he won't have that chance at the Rumble cause it's just gonna be me and him, one on one, face to face. And I guarantee you Teddy will be getting a major attitude adjustment....67

Mean Gene: Indeed tough words from the man from Cobb County, GA lets throw it to Mean Gene who is with the British Bulldog!

Mooney: Thanks Gene, indeed I am here with the British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith and Davey Boy you look to be in the best shape of your life.

Bulldog: Thanks Sean. Well I've been training very hard the last few months trying to get back from my injuries and now that I'm fine I feel as if it is really going to be the oppurtunity for the British Bulldog to show off his skills here in the World Wrestling Federation. And to Skinner I say watch out because there is plenty of bite left in this bulldog! 69

Mooney: Well short and sweet but to the point, the British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith is here to stay and he could become a force.

Vince and Gorilla agree with Mooney and discuss the talents of the Bulldog. Shawn Michaels makes his way to the ring accompanied by Sensational Sherri as he is set to go one on one with Barry Hardy! They show what Michaels did to Marty Jannetty and how Jannetty may never be the same again. Gorilla calls this attitude change absolutely despicable and that he'll get a lesson in respect from The Hammer at the Royal Rumble. Vince and Gorilla don't pay much attention to the match which is Michaels strutting his stuff over an overwhelmed Hardy. Hardy gets a sunset flip but it does nothing as Michaels puts him away with his patented Side Suplex in 6:57. 58-45-71 Michaels puts the boots to Hardy after the match and so does Sherri but out comes Greg Valentine before they can do to much damage!

Back from commercials and the megaphone is blaring as the Natural Disasters make their way down to the ring accompanied by Jimmy Hart. They're warming up for their tag team title match but facing Chris Walker and Reno Riggins. Walker and Riggins are simply overmatched from the start as Earthquake and Typhoon use their power to squash them. Aftershock from Earthquake ends it for Walker at 4:22. 53-43-63 Gorilla and Vince note that the Natural Disasters are at the top of their game right now and the LOD better watch out.

Vince goes over the 30 man over the top Royal Rumble and names all 30 participants! Undertaker, Jimmy Snuka, Jake Roberts, Randy Savage, Roddy Piper, Bret Hart, Hulk Hogan. Big Bossman, IRS, Ted DiBiase, The Mountie, Texas Tornado, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, The Warlord, Shawn Michaels, Sid Justice, Mr. Perfect, Rick Martel, El Matador, Rick Martel, Earthquake, Repo Man, Virgil, British Bulldog, Berzerker, Sgt. Slaughter, The Nasty Boys, The Barbarian and Jim Neidhart!

Vince and Gorilla discuss how important this Royal Rumble is as it is for the WWF Championship! Jake Roberts make his way towards ringside during all this minus his snake. Vince reminds us that Macho Man is barred from the building tonight. Gorilla states that is an explosive situation if he'd ever seen one. Jim Powers comes out aggressive against Jake but a rake to they eyes ends his moment. Jake works over Powers and hits the short arm clothesline out of nowhere. DDT puts Powers down. Jake picks Powers up and yells 'MACHO MAN' and plants him again! He picks Powers up and says 'this one is for Elizabeth' and plants Powers with a third DDT.l Jake slithers over and easily pins Powers at 5:12. 63-62-64 Vince notes how despicable Jake Roberts is and that one day the Macho Man will get his hands on Jake 'The Snake'.

Vince and Gorilla hype tomorrow's Wrestling Challenge which will have a main event of The Mountie vs. Hacksaw Jim Duggan! Also Hulk Hogan will be in action as well as the Million Dollar Man. We go to the arena as we get ready for tonight's main event. El Matador enters the arena first and Vince notes just how dangerous El Matador can be. Mr. Perfect follows looking in amazing shape. El Matador is attacked from behind by Perfect who takes the advantage early. Santana comes back but Perfect takes a walk at least twice. On the third time Santana goes outside and bring Perfect back in. Santana takes control until Perfect locks in a sleeper. Santana fights out and hits the flying forearm but Perfect falls out of the ring. Santana rolls him back in but only gets two. Santana goes for it again but misses. Perfect picks him up and hits the Perfect-Plex for the pin at 13:21. 77-70-85

Vince and Gorilla thank us for tuning in and tell us to continue watching the WWF!

WWF WRESTLING CHALLENGE

Opening montage and a replay of the shocking announcement that Ric Flair has been suspended for two months! Cut to Gorilla Monsoon who introduces the show as Haku enters the arena to take on the Texas Tornado. Gorilla continues to mock the Brain who is depressed to say the least. Haku throws salt in Tornado's eyes before the match starts and dominates the entire match. Haku however gets cocky on a charge to the turnbuckle and naturally misses. The Texas Tornado locks in the Claw for the victory! 66-62-70

We go to pre-taped comments from Jake 'The Snake' Roberts.

Snake: (evil laugh)....Tunney. All i asked you to do was trust me...and you couldn't do that much. I told you the damage that I did to Randy Savage and Elizabeth wouldn't be my fault...it would be yours. And your little two month suspension..it's only helping me out buddy. Now it guarantees that I get to see Elizabeth, guarantees that I get that indescribable rush just like the last time I slapped her in her face. See Macho Man...you're nothing to me. As Macho as you say you are, I've seen you beg and plead and moan in pain too many times to believe that lie. And I know Elizabeth doesn't believe that lie either...haha Macho....trust me...76

Gorilla is disgusted and Brain is silent as Sid Justice enters into the arena. Gorilla points out that Brain's worries should be all for not and Brain snaps. Snaps just like Sid snapped the Brooklyn Brawler. Sid easily wins using his power and strength to dominate the Brawler. Sid hits the powerbomb to win as he continues his roll in the WWF! 63-55-71

We're back from commercials and Greg 'The Hammer' Valentine is making his way to the ring to take on Kato! Brain states that the Hammer doesn't know what he's getting into trying to take on Shawn Michaels. Gorilla naturally disagrees. Kato works over Valentine early but the Hammer starts dropping those Hammer like elbows and begins to work on the leg. Valentine locks in the Figure Four for the victory and as he does this Sensational Sherri walks down the aisle! Sherri gets on the apron and jaws with Valentine and slaps him! Valentine grabs her by the hair and looks around for crowd approval. As he does this Shawn Michaels comes from behind and knees him in the back to the outside. Michaels tosses Valentine into the steps at ringside and dances over him. Gorilla is disgusted. 67-53-82

We cut backstage to Sean Mooney.

Mooney: Sean Mooney here with information about our next Coliseum Video exc....wait a second Repo Man what are you doing here!

Repo Man: Haha! I'm the Repo Man! I'm doing what I do best...steal!

Mooney: Well why are you here? Obviously I'm trying to tell the great people about the next offering that Colise...

Repo Man: See I'm stealing your time! Haha! Just like tomorrow not only am I going to beat Rowdy Roddy Piper! But I'm gonna steal his kilt! Haha! And if you don't watch out Mooney I might repo your car!!

Mooney: Well lets not go that far, strong words from the Repo Man who takes on the Hot Rod tomorrow on PrimeTime! 63 - Repo Man gained overness

We cut back to the ring as Hacksaw Jim Duggan is making his way down the aisle. HOOOO! It's main event time. The Mountie enters the ring area singing to his theme music. Hacksaw gets a loud USA chant going and attacks pretty hard. Turning point comes when Jimmy Hart trips Hacksaw giving the Mountie the advantage. Hacksaw fights back however and goes for the 3 Point Stance! But he misses and Jimmy Hart tosses The Mountie the megaphone Mountie cracks Hacksaw in the head with it for the win! 64-67-58 Mountie continues the attack until the Hitman comes out from the back and saves Hacksaw!

WWF PRIME TIME WRESTLING

January 13th 1992

Opening montage and we go straight to the ring as Gorilla Monsoon points out that we have so much in store there is no time to waste! The Brain boldly points out that we will have a new Intercontinental champion after tonight. Gorilla still can't believe what a big main event it will be. During all this IRS enters the ring to face the British Bulldog. He of course states we're all tax cheats. Real original guy. The British Bulldog comes out to a nice reaction and looks pumped for this one. IRS seems hesitant to lock up in the beginning and gets overpowered. Good back and forth between the two with IRS cheating to gain the advantage. Late in the match IRS gets a sleeper but Davey fights out and comesback. He hits a vicious clothesline and then hits the running powerslam for the win in 8:44! 71-67-75

We go backstage to Sean Mooney.

Mooney: Thanks Gorilla, well as you can see I am here backstage with an unusually happy Slickster! Slick why so happy you've been excited all day!

Slick: Oh well let me tell you something Sean Mooney when you're the Slickster you're always happy. I mean when you look this good.....ooohwee you can't help but smile waking up being this good looking! And also I've found me a new meal ticket. That's right the Doctor of Style has found a new superstar to guide through the WWF. And here he is...

Mooney: ....my god...whats with all the smoke....what is that??

Slick: Oh this is Papa Shango! He is a master of voodoo and if you don't stop asking dumb questions I'll have him curse you and your wife. Well by the looks of you, you ain't got no wife cause you ain't a jive soul bro like me! But as I was saying with this crazy cat Papa Shango DON'T NOBODY stand a chance at stopping the Slickster now! 70 - Slick gained overness from this segment

We return to the arena where the Natural Disasters are making their way to the ring for tag team action! Jimmy Hart is being his obnoxious self until we hear HOOO and out come the duo of Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Sgt. Slaughter! Hacksaw gets in the ring and immediately goes after Jimmy Hart, payback for Hart costing Hacksaw his match against the Mountie on WC. Of course this backfires and gives the Disasters the advantage. They work over Duggan for a while who tags in Slaughter who promptly gets worked over. The faces get a slight comeback but Duggan again goes after Hart which doesn't work and Earthquake splashes him in the corner. Aftershock wins it for the Natural Disasters in 10:12 58-65-43 (Hacksaw Jim Duggan did not sell very much. Sgt. Slaughter did not sell very much.) Brain points out the roll that the Natural Disasters are on and says the LOD better beware.

We return from commercials and Hercules is in the ring flexing and playing to the crowd. Then the music of the Hulkster hits and the crowd goes crazy! Gorilla points out that Hogan may have bitten off more than he can chew by deciding to appear on the Funeral Parlor later on tonight. Hogan is on the attack early forcing Hercules to the outside. Hercules wants a test of strength but kicks Hogan in the gut instead. Hercules works over Hogan for quite awhile but the he HULKS UP! and if you don't know what that means then I shouldn't be the one telling ya. Legdrop gives Hogan the win at 6:03. 73-72-74

We go backstage to Mean Gene Okerlund.

Mean Gene: Thanks Gorilla I am here with the man who tonight will go one on one with the Intercontinental Champion Bret Hart, this is of course the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase!

DiBiase: Yeah that's right and you're looking at the next Intercontinetal champion right here. HAHAHAHAHA!

Mean Gene: I wouldn't get too far ahead of yourself there, the Hitman is one tough wrestler. Anyways not only do you have tonight's big match to worry about but at the Royal Rumble you are set to go one on one with the Big Bossman!

DiBiase: HAHAHAHA! Well you see Bossman is the least of my worries. I heard him whining on TV this weekend, saying that I treat people like crap. Well I treat people like that because that's what you all are! You're nothing, you're the gum on the bottom of my shoe! It's not my fault they call me the Million Dollar Man! I can't help that I only walk around in the finest clothes. I can''t help that I drive around in the flashiest cars. I can't help that I hang around the most beautiful women on the earth. Bossman it's not my fault that your idea of fine dining is going to KFC! Bossman since you can't be me you want to beat me and that's ok, I don't blame you but don't come crying to me after I beat you at the Royal Rumble! 81

We return from commercials to the arena where Paul Bearer is already in the Funeral Parlor. Gorilla points out that the Undertaker is not with him.

Bearer: Oooooh yes.....welcome to another edition of my Undertaker's funeral parlor...but before we begin....let me bring out our special guest...the Immortal Hulk Hogan!

Hogan comes out again to a nice pop looking a little tired from his match with Hercules.

Bearer: Oooooh yes Hogan...Hogan how does it feel...how does it feel to know that Hulkamania is on its dying days! How does it feel to know that you can't beat my Undertaker?

Hogan: Well ya see there brother that's where you've got it all wrong! The Undertaker had to cheat to beat me brother everyone around the world knows it. And you can never kill Hulkamania not as long as a I look around and I see all my little Hulkamaniacs screaming and carrying me through the toughest of times! Not as long brother as I see all the little Hulkamaniacs saying their prayers, taking their vitamins and as long as all the Hulkamaniacs keep believing brother...there's no stopping Hulkamania!

Bearer: Is that right? Well then tell me why the only way you could beat my Undertaker was to cheat? Face it Hogan...you're nowhere near as powerful as my Undertaker and you're only a shell of your former self!

Hogan: You know what brother....Paul Bearer, I'm about tired of you brother...

Hulk Hogan grabs Paul Bearer by his tie. He raises one fist and looks around the crowd as they cheer for him to hit him. Just as he goes back to hit the Undertaker attacks from behind with a steel chair! Hogan goes down and the Undertaker continues to stomp Hogan. Taker gets on one knee and chokes Hogan out. Officials come out to try and stop Taker but he continues choking Hogan. Taker gets up and scares the officals away and then continues to choke Hogan. Finally Paul Bearer pulls Taker by the hair and they leave. Gorilla notes that Bearer invited Hogan on the show for that sole reason. Hogan lies next to a casket helpless as we cut to commericals...86 - Paul Bearer gained overness from this segment.

We return from commercials with Gorilla shocked at what just took place. They cut backstage to Mean Gene.

Mean Gene: Well I'm here with Rowdy Roddy Piper and Hot Rod....can you believe what we just witnessed at the hands of the Undertaker?

Piper: Well....Mean Gene....for once I'm almost speechless. Almost. The way he manhandled Hogan like that...I've never seen that before. And I've always....well....for the most part...well moreso lately been a supporter of Hulkamania but even I don't know anymore.

Mean Gene: I never thought I'd see the day that Hulk Hogan was manhandled so easily but anyways Hot Rod you've got a match to focus on tonight you take on the Repo Man!

Piper: Oh yeah Repo Man, he's kind of a weird guy I'm not gonna lie I saw him back here earlier...you know those free buffets we got right where we can just eat whatever we want. I'm sitting down just trying to enjoy some waffles and I look over and Repo Man is sneaking up to the food and stealing the food that he can have! I mean the man is off his rocker...just a lil creepy...talking about wanting to steal my kilt WHOA there buddy now I'm a little worried. But you know what Gene? All I think he needs is a little more sleep you know that job can have late hours. So tonight I think I'll put him to sleep...it'll do him some good...76

Mean Gene: Well there you have it Gorilla back to you as the Hot Rod looks ready for action!

During all this the Repo Man made his way to the ring and is waiting. Gorilla and Brain seem distracted still in awe of the power of the Undertaker. Piper makes his way down the aisle and they still seem distant from the match. Comedy match early on as Repo tries to sneak under the ring not knowing that Piper saw him do it. He had a nice surprise when he got to the other end. Piper was hot early but a low blow turned the tide for Repo. Repo worked over Piper for a little bit but got off his game and Piper slapped on the sleeper! Piper wins in 7:48! 73-63-83

We go backstage to Sean Mooney.

Mooney: Thanks Gorilla, standing here with me are the current World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions, Hawk and Animal the Legion of Doom!

Animal: Yeah you know something? For the past couple weeks everyone has been coming up to me and Hawk wishing us luck, hoping we make it through our match at the Royal Rumble. Fans have been sending us good luck cards and praying for our well-being. The doubters have been saying that there is now way we can beat the Natural Disasters! Well they must have forgotten that we are the Legion of Doom! Jimmy Hart you've been running your mouth for weeks about how this is easy money well you better think again buddy because we're not going nowhere!

Hawk: WELL! Natural Disasters...it's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog and yeah you may be bigger than us, and yeah you may be stronger than us but you're not tougher than us! The bigger they are, the harder they fall and that's exactly what we plan on doing! Come on Animal let's go...

Mooney: Confident words from the Legion of Doom....it'll be interesting to see what happens when these two teams collide at the Royal Rumble! 64

We return to the arena where Howard Finkel inform us that the following contest, scheduled for one fall is for the Intercontinental Championship!. Gorilla and Brain have goosebumps, ready for this huge main event . The Million Dollar Man comes out first with Jimmy Hart, looking as cocky as ever . The Hitman follows with an intense look on his face. Gorilla still cannot believe that this match is even taking place tonight. Brain tells him to shut up and watch DiBiase win the gold. Classic mat wrestling as both go back and forth with no one gaining an advantage. Bret starts to outwrestle DiBiase but a thumb to the eye swings the momentum. DiBiase works over the Hitman's back and uses various holds. Everytime Hart looks to be fighting out, DiBiase brings him right back to the hold. Finally, Bret reverses a side headlock into a back suplex. Bret builds momentum but they have a double clothesline. DiBiase goes for the Million Dollar Dream but Hart escapes before it can be applied. Hitman rallies back late and locks in the Sharpshooter. Jimmy Hart gets on the apron and tosses DiBiase the megaphone! DiBiase nails Bret but the referee sees it and calls for the DQ at 20:12. 85-81-90 (The WWF Intercontinental Title has gained in image.)

DiBiase puts the boots to the Hitman as Jimmy Hart distracts the referee! Out comes the Mountie and they both go to work on the Hitman! After a little bit of this finally the Big Bossman sprints out with his nightstick and cleans hosue! Gorilla and Brain thank you for joining and promise to have an update on the condition of Hulk Hogan on Superstars!

[birdthrill]

JANUARY 14TH 1992

Hmm lets see what gossip I've found out walking around here lately..

Apparently management is very upset with Jim Duggan and Sgt. Slaughter over their non cooperation with the Natural Disasters. Equally puzzling because Hacksaw had no problem selling for the Mountie. Anyways look for them to be in the doghouse for a while.

Many backstage are wondering what the long term goals for the company are. Everyone is being kept dark and many don't even think Vince knows what he wants to do. Apparently he has flip flopped who he wants to win the Rumble everyday. Many feel that Vince is tired of Hogan but knows that Hogan is the one who brought him to the dance. It will indeed be interesting to see what happens...

Many were shocked that Hulk Hogan was able to have a better match with Hercules than Bret Hart was the week before.

Papa Shango was debuted early mainly to give Slick something to do. They didn't want to pair him up with someone who was already viewed as a loser so they decided to bring in Shango early. Also debuting soon will be the Native American Tatanka and expect him to get a huge push!

Ric Flair is said to be extremely distraught at home over his injury. He feels as if he let the company down is very angry with Hulk Hogan over his carelessness.

The segment between the Undertaker and Hulk Hogan was the acceleration of the Undertaker's current push. There was talk of turning Undertaker face soon but most of that has gone to the wayside after the Hogan angle.

Many backstage are questioning the choices for the Royal Rumble. Many say that it's just a bunch of matches built around the big Royal Rumble for the title. But people also understand that it's better in the long run to have a weaker undercard with such a huge main event.

Some have noticed no change in Hulk Hogan's attitude despite him being placed in the middle of shows. Many (including Hogan) believe that Vince is trying to act like he is going to change, will lose patience and go right back to his bread and butter. Only time will tell.

WWF SUPERSTARS

January 18th 1992

Opening montage and we go to Vince McMahon who can't believe we are only a week away from the Royal Rumble! With this we head to the ring for our first match as 'The Model' Rick Martel makes his way down the aisle for in-ring action.

MATCH 1 - 'The Model' Rick Martel vs. Jamie Magnum

Vince immediately discusses how Hulk Hogan was decimated at the hands of the Undertaker. The Brain proclaims the death of Hulkamania. All of this while The Model dissects Jamie Magnum. Martel works over the back early and spends just as much time admiring his body as he does beating on his opponent. Magnum looks to rally back but the Model puts a stop to that quickly. The Boston Crab then gives the Model the submission victory in 4:32! 44-33-56

Vince hypes the main event for tonight which will be the Macho Man vs. The Barbarian. We then go to pre-taped comments from the Macho Man.

Savage: Ooooooh yeah.....Jake the Snake I hope you're watching...now LISTEN UP! You better be praying to the Lord, thanking Jack Tunney every single day for this little ban he put in between us, because TRUST ME you'd be in the hospital by now! Nobody and I mean NOBODY TALKS ABOUT ELIZABETH LIKE THAT. That's my wife man...(pacing)....that's my wife you're talking about....you wanna slap my wife around? FAT CHANCE SNAKE! Because you better show up late to the Rumble because I swear to you...I'll be getting to the arena at 6 IN THE MORNING and I will wait by the entrance with a baseball bat and as soon as you walk in POW LIGHTS OUT! (86)

We cut backstage to Sean Mooney.

Mooney: Thanks Vince, unfortunately I'm here with a duo that lives up to their name....the Nasty Boys.

Knobbs: Oh you say that like it's a bad thing.....ah who cares you punk!

Mooney: Well Nasty Boys, tonight you have a tough match against the New Foundation tell me your thoughts on this one.

Knobbs: HAHA our thoughts? Have you seen the New Foundation? Are we scared one bit? We are former WWF Tag Team Champions these two are a big joke.

Saggs: Yeah! We're gonna go out there and beat them easily. I hope they're ready to get Nasty-sized!! HAHAH! 56

During all this Virgil has made his way to the ring for one-on-one action.

MATCH 2 - Virgil vs. Tanaka

Tanaka tries to cheat his way through this match but Virgil uses his speed and agility to get the upper hand.

Virgil wins via the Million Dollar Dream in 7:32! 63-56-71

We return from commercials as Skinner makes his way towards ringside for our next match.

MATCH 3 - Skinner vs. Chris Walker

Skinner spits tobacco juice all in Walker's face to begin the contest. He easily dominates Walker and wins with the Backbreaker in 5:21! 52-41-63

As the Nasty Boys w/Jimmy Hart make their way to the ring, Vince takes the time to give us an update on the condition of Hulk Hogan. Word is Hulk Hogan is in a hospital with injuries that could vary from a broken back to a punctured lung. The Brain says its all over for Hulkamania! During this the New Foundation snuck out to the ringside area.

MATCH 4 - Nasty Boys vs. The New Foundation

Saggs starts with Owen and seems very overconfident. Well The New Foundation changes that as they come out firing right hands. They send the Nasties over the top rope and to the floor! The Nasties discuss strategy and re-enter the ring. Owen continues to take it to Saggs but Jimmy Hart gets on the apron allowing Knobbs to attack from behind. They switch with no tag. More double-teaming as they continue to work over Owen. Knobbs uncharacteristcally went to the top rope for a splash...and missed! Owen tags in the Anvil who goes nuts on the Nasties! He powerslams Knobbs and almost gets the win but Saggs breaks it up. Owen comes in and clotheslines Saggs over the top! Owen dives to the outside on to him! The referee tries to break them up and as he does this Jimmy Hart enters the ring! Saggs holds Anvil in place and Hart gets the megaphone...but Anvil moves and Saggs gets hit! Anvil covers for the upset win in 13:34! 76-66-86

Vince can't believe what an upset we just saw! The Nasty Boys are livid and the New Foundation are celebrating in the aisle!!

We return for commercials ready for the main event. The Macho Man makes his way to the ring with an intense look on his face!

MAIN EVENT - "Macho Man" Randy Savage vs. The Barbarian

Macho Man attacks the Barbarian before the bell rings and unleashes some vicious lefts and rights. Macho clotheslines Barabarian over the top rope and to the floor. Macho goes up top for a double axhandle but Barbarian catches him and rams him into the ring apron. Barbarian continues to work over the back for most of the match and gets Macho in a dangerous bearhug! The fans get into it and Macho fights out. Macho clotheslines Barbarian but he won't go down. Macho pokes him in the eyes which staggers him long enough to hit the double axhandle of the second rope! Macho goes up top...Flying Elbowdrop gives him the win in 9:02! 70-72-68

After the match, Macho Man celebrates by standing on the turnbuckle and giving the fans a salute. But as he comes down there is a snake in the ring. We leave as Macho is puzzled and angry...

MATCH 1 - Legion of Doom vs. Barry Hardy & Jamie Magnum

Animal kills Hardy with a hard clothesline to start. Hardy stumbles back to his corner and tags in Magnum. Magnum charges Animal but gets backdropped.

Animal picks Magnum up...Doomsday Device gets the win in 1:57! 59-46-72 Gorilla points out how impressive that win was and that the Natural Disasters should be the ones watching out!

We return from commercials as Sid Justice makes his way to the ring for our next contest. Gorilla notes that Sid is unstoppable.

MATCH 2 - Sid Justice vs. Iron Mike Sharpe

Iron Mike asks for a test of strength to start. He starts to lose and tries to kick Sid but Sid catches him. He turns Mike around and clotheslines him down. Sid picks Sharpe up and throws him into the corner hard. Sharpe staggers out and is met with a boot to the face. Sid picks Sharpe up and Powerbombs him for the win in 0:52! 56-51-61 Gorilla notes that he has never seen such dominant victories as the two he has just witnessed.

We go backstage to Sean Mooney.

Mooney: I'm here with Rowdy Roddy Piper and you seem to be in the best shape of your life!

Piper: Oh you got that right partner. I've been training for months and months....well actually weeks and weeks...ok I started yesterday but I've been training for the Royal Rumble! In a week, I can see it now....the Hot Rod standing in the middle of the ring, bagpipes blaring with that WWF Title raised above my head. I swear I can see it...

Mr. Perfect: (walking in) Well you better go to the eye doctor and get your vision checked out cause that ain't gonna happen.

Piper: Oh so nice of you to join us Mr. Perfecto..

Perfect: It's Perfect. And there's no way you're gonna win the Royal Rumble, if you keep talking to me like this you might not even make it to the Royal Rumble (clenches fist)

Piper: Try me Perfect....(clenches fist) come on Perfect....go ahead....

Mooney: Well we've certainly got a volatile situation back here, hopefully some officials can break this up but for now I send it out to Mean Gene Okerlund (80)

We go to Mean Gene who is in the arena on a stage set up near the entrance.

Mean Gene: Well ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to you the team who upset the Nasty Boys yesterday on Superstars, 'The Rocket' Owen Hart, Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart...The New Foundation!

The New Foundation enters the arena.

Mean Gene: Well how does it feel to have pulled off such a huge upset.

Owen: Well, to us we've always believed in ourselves. And it seems like all of our hard work is finally paying off. We've finally been able to come together as a team and I think the rest of the WWF should be forewarned.

Anvil: That's right. The New Foundation is here and here to stay baby!

Owen: And another thing....

The Nasty Boys come out of nowhere and attack the duo. It's a light attack mostly just a couple stomps and then they laugh.

Mean Gene: What the hell....get the hell out of here Nasty Boys! 58

We return from commercials as El Matador makes his way down the aisle for our next contest. The Mountie follows being accompanied by Jimmy Hart.

MATCH 3 - El Matador vs. The Mountie

El Matador comes out on fire quickly throwing the Mountie over the top rope and to the floor. Matador makes the mistake of chasing after Mountie. Mountie rolls back in and then puts the boot to Santana. Mountie works over Santana's neck and back. Brain notes that Bret Hart is in for one tough fight at the Rumble. Mountie goes for a piledriver but Santana reverses with a backdrop. Two dropkicks and the Mountie is reeling. El Matador goes for the flying forearm but misses! Mountie connects with a big Spinebuster for the win at 8:12!

71-62-80

We go to pre-taped comments from the Texas Tornado!

Tornado: Hey, Texas Tornado here. As you all know the Royal Rumble is in a week and I'm gonna go out there and do the best that I can for all you fans out there. But I got my eyes set on one fellow out there. Shawn Michaels! You know we used to friends, but after what you did to Marty Jannetty you better watch your behind buddy because I'm not having that. If 'The Hammer' wasn't already facing you at the Royal Rumble, I for sure would be the first in line! 61

We return from commercials ready for our main event.

MAIN EVENT - The Undertaker vs. Koko B Ware

Koko immediately is choked in the corner by the Undertaker. Taker continues this for a while. Koko tries to fight back but it has no effect on the Deadman. Taker continues to beat on Koko until he finally ends it with the Tombstone at 5:55! 64-70-52 (Koko B Ware did not sell very much which hurt the match rating)

[Guest mroniimusha]

Some of this is good, but I'd like the matches to be more detailed, rather than just recaps. Obviously, writing full matches for all of them would be stupid, but maybe write out the main events or something?

[Guest Prototype]

Decent shows. I know its prolly hard to write out detailed matches because back then all the shows besides the PPVs and maybe a SNME were squash matches. I like how you've improved the lay out as well.

WWF PRIME TIME WRESTLING

January 20th 1992

Opening montage and Gorilla and the Brain welcome us to Prime Time Wrestling They note that we are less than a week away from the Royal Rumble The hype the big tag team main event which will team The Undertaker and Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts against the team of “Rowdy” Roddy Piper and Sid Justice As this takes place Greg ‘The Hammer’ Valentine makes his to the ring to face IRS in our opening contest Gorilla notes that ‘The Hammer’ is not only a former Intercontinental champion but looks to be at his best lately .

MATCH 1 - IRS vs. Greg ‘The Hammer’ Valentine

IRS, angry that Valentine came out before he could call us all tax cheats attacks immediately. Evenly fought match with IRS using cheating and trickery while Valentine used his wiley veteran mat skills. IRS hits the Write Off clothesline but gets too cocky. He covers Valentine but picks him up after a count of two. He irish whips Valentine into the ropes and plays to the crowd. IRS charges but only eats boot . Valentine scores with a DDT! . Valentine drops multiple elbows to the knee of IRS and then locks in the Figure Four for the submission victory! 76-62-91

We go to pretaped comments from the Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase.

DiBiase: HAHAHAH! As you can see simpletons, I'm here in Florida in my luxurious home nowhere near any of you never-will-be's. And I've got a message for that no good, fat slob you call the Big Bossman. Bossman! I look at you and I just say to myself; "what a shame!". Bossman you really could have been something...but you wasted your time caring about these people. And now look at you. You're nothing! Never will be anything, never was anything, you're just a big fat guy who runs around with a nightstick! HAHAHA! You're pathetic! I don't even know how your poor old mother is able to live knowing that her son is such a loser. Now at the Rumble...I show your whole family of losers and the whole entire world what success is all about....AHAHAHAHAH!

We go backstage to Mean Gene Okerlund.

Mean Gene: Thank you Gorilla, I am here with the Big Bossman and Bossman you certainly look more intense than ever!

Bossman: Well you're right about that Mean Gene! You see, Ted DiBiase he always called me fat, he's called me ugly, he's called me poor, unsophisticated whatever. But now he's done something that I just can't condone....you talked about my mother and my family . You see this was just supposed to be a match and I was gonna show you what Hard Times were all about. But no...no DiBiase you've made it much more than that. You're attacking my family and I don't take too kindly to that at all. So if you want to take my dignity away from me by talking about my family....well then at the Royal Rumble it looks like I'll be taking something of yours. You see I just heard some good news...apparently Jack Tunney did not take kindly to your leaving the tag match with me and your blatant disregard for the rules last week so at the Rumble...our match is for your Million Dollar Title! I'll see you then Teddy... 76

Mean Gene: Big news here and now we send it to you Sean Mooney!

Mooney: Thank you Mean Gene, I am again here with the Slickster and that...that monster you call Papa Shango.

Slick: What I tell you about watchin' yo mouth? Can't you see that cauldron with all that smoke coming out of it? Is this really the type of man you wanna mess with? Matter of fact is this the type of man that anyone wants to mess with? This cat is pure evil, bad to the bone, he'll curse you, yo momma, ya sister, ya daddy, ya cousin, ya dog, ya neighbor and yo neighbor's momma just because he can. And I feel bad for the 29 superstars entered into the Royal Rumble . Because I just entered my man Shango in there and boy...don't nobody wanna mess with him.

Mooney: Well how can that be? All 30 spots have been filled...you can't just do that!

Slick: You really are dumber than you look. Due to an injury there was a vacancy. A vacancy that will ensure victory for the Papa Shango. (Shango starts grumbling more smoke comes out of the cauldron) See...see you done made him mad...shoot you better get out of here before he curses you... 74 - Slick gained overness from this segment

Mooney: Well Gorilla lets send it back to you...

Gorilla is still in shock over the announcement of the Big Bossman vs. Ted DiBiase being for the Million Dollar Title! Brain is irate and says its a travesty of justice And speak of the devil out comes The Big Bossman for our next match as he will take on 'The Model' Rick Martel!

MATCH 2 - Big Boss Man vs. 'The Model' Rick Martel

The Model was very hesitant to start the match. Bossman would pursue but Martel would simply cower to the turnbuckle and demand that the referee tell the Bossman to back up . Finally they locked up with Bossman pushing Martel to the corner. Bossman cleanly broke. The locked up again with Martel pushing Bossman to the corner. Martel didn't cleanly break, instead opting to punch Bossman in the face . This gave him the advantage and he surprisingly controlled most of the match. Bossman would fight back with a couple punches but could never get a rally going. Martel played to the crowd often yelling I'M A MODEL! The Model had Bossman in a side headlock, Bossman whipped Martel into the ropes and caught him with the Bossman Slam for the win! 67-72-64

We return from commercials as Shawn Michaels is making his way down the aisle for our next contest. Sensational Sherri of course is right behind him carrying a mirror so Shawn can primp and prune and all that good stuff. Of course Shawn does this the whole time Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart is making his way down the aisle. Shawn looks in the mirror and sees the Anvil and ITS ON!

MATCH 3 - Shawn Michaels vs. Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart

Anvil dominates the early portion of the match using his power offense to send Michaels over the top and to the floor. Michaels re-enters and it's more of the same. However a poke to the eyes is always sure to change the tide. Michaels takes over using his speed and precision to gain the upperhand. Anvil makes a comeback and looks to be on his way to an upset win when Sensational Sherri jumps on the apron. Anvil being Anvil grabs her and kisses her . Michaels comes up from behind and hits the Back Suplex for the win! 64-60-54 (Jim Neidhart did not sell very much which hurt the match rating)

Gorilla recaps the events which took place with The Undertaker leaving Hulk Hogan laid out! Apparently what they have heard has not been good with a possibilty that Hogan might never wrestle again . Gorilla however notes that no one has seen or heard from Hulk Hogan since the attack and he thinks that they are all rumors. Brain disagrees and says Hulk Hogan's dead. 'Will you stop it!'

We go backstage to Sean Mooney who is with Jake ' The Snake' Roberts and The Undertaker

Mooney: Well gentlemen we are literally minutes away from your big main event tag team match against Rowdy Roddy Piper and Sid Justice . Any last words.

Roberts: Oh yeah I've got plenty of words....Macho Man! I heard your little spiel. I hope you liked your present after your match.....ha.....you see I'm not worried at all about Piper and Justice. I'm not worried about Macho Man trying to cave my head in...you see trust me Sean...I just can't wait till I can lay my hands on sweet Elizabeth and feel that soft skin...Sean it makes it so I can't sleep at night. So Macho...go ahead beat me up, put me in the hospital I don't care. As long as I get to feel that rush.....oh baby....

Mooney: God you are one sick person. Undertaker any comments?

Undertaker: ..........

Mooney: Alright well straight to you Mean Gene.... 76

Mean Gene: Well as you can see I am here with the Hot Rod and Sid Justice and gentlemen your opponents are making their way to ringside any last minute comments?

Sid: You see....Undertaker! You think you're so big and bad after that sneak attack on the Hulkster! But that's exactly what you had to do, attack him from behind! You know you may be the dead man but Sid Justice is the MASTER! THE RULER OF THE WORLD! And tonight JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED!

Hot Rod: You two cowards...I'm going out there and I'm gonna kick your butt all over this arena for Macho Man, for Elizabeth and for Hulk Hogan! Let's go get em big man... 76

We go to the arena as Jake 'The Snake' and The Undertaker are already in the ring. The bagpipes hit and Sid Justice and Rowdy Roddy Piper sprint to the ring

MAIN EVENT - Jake Roberts & The Undertaker vs. Rowdy Roddy Piper & The Undertaker

Gorilla notes that all four men are heavy favorites in the Royal Rumble . Piper starts with Roberts and unloads with all sorts of lefts and rights. The ref asks for a break, gets it and Piper goes right back to the punches. Piper whips Roberts into the ropes and back body drops him! Piper with a clothesline and he is on fire! Roberts tags in the Undertaker. Piper smiles, looks around and tags in Sid Justice confidently. Sid and Taker stare at each other and this is approximately where hell breaks lose . Because as they stare each other down out from the back comes Elizabeth! Gorilla asks why in god's name is she here? Roberts drops from the apron and goes after Elizabeth but Sid sees it and jumps to the outside. He attacks Roberts before he can touch Elizabeth. Undertaker goes to grab Sid from behind but Piper attacks him on the outside! Taker chokes Piper as Piper fades. Sid and Roberts continue to brawl. The ref has lost control! All four continue brawling all the way to the back! Elizabeth is still at ringside shocked at the chaos that has ensued. Jake Roberts wanders back out towards ringside. He stops Elizabeth dead in her tracks...she backpedals towards the ring. She enters the ring and pleads for Roberts to back off Jake has the sleazy smile on as he listens to her beg Jake grabs her by the hair as officials try to make him stop. Jake kisses her and smiles....then he SLAPS HER IN THE FACE! Gorilla and even Brain are absolutely disgusted. We fade as Elizabeth is seen on her knees crying as the officials try to console her...

Gorilla: Will you stop it

The Fink: And his opponent from Manchester, England. Weighing in at 253 pounds, the British Bulldog!!

Gorilla: And you wanna talk about a hero...worldwide the Hitman is a hero.

Brain: Gee some kind of hero. He doesn’t even have superpowers. At least the Mountie has a shock stick.

Gorilla: Will you stop it And there you can see the Hitman giving his trademark shades to a youngster in the front row, probably making that kids day in the process.

Brain: Thank you Bret Hart for covering up that kids face..thank the LORD! I mean that is one awful looking creature.

Brain: Do I ever! This was supposed to be Ric Flair’s crowning moment, his ascent to the WWF title and what happened? That no good, toupee wearing, 99 year old Jack Tunney suspends him This is absolutely ridiculous Well at least I’ve still got Mr. Perfect...

I liked the Rumble, I don't have any problem with Savage winning and it makes the most sense so that he and Jake can headline Wrestlemania, because that feud probably has the most heat now that Flair got hurt.
