WWF PRIME TIME WRESTLING
October 27, 1985
Airing from: Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY
Your Referees: Earl Hebner and Joey Marella
Your Commentators: Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse Ventura
Your Ring Announcer: Howard Finkel
-We now go to Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse “The Body” Ventura in the Mid-Hudson Civic Center-
GORILLA MONSOON: “Welcome everyone to Poughkeepsie, NY for WWF Prime Time Wrestling! I’m Gorilla Monsoon – and joining is The Body himself, #1 contender to the WWF Championship Jesse Ventura!”
JESSE VENTURA: “Monsoon, I think you mean the FUTURE World Wrestling Federation Champion! I’ll be watching tonight’s title between the CHUMP Hogan and King Kong Bundy very closely.”
GORILLA MONSOON: “That’s right, what a main event we have for you, fans! It will be Hulk Hogan putting that WWF Championship on the line against King Kong Bundy right here on Prime Time Wrestling!”
JESSE VENTURA: “I have a lot of respect for Bundy, but whoever wins this match will go down in history as the man who loses the WWF Championship to The Body!”
GORILLA MONSOON: “That remains to be see, Jess! Also tonight, we will have The British Bulldogs making their World Wrestling Federation debut. The Honky Tonk Man is here! Plus, it’s going to be The Rowdy One joined by The Killer Bees!”
JESSE VENTURA: “Piper can have his stupid Pit, Monsoon! My eyes are now on the prize. Hahaha!”
GORILLA MONSOON: “Right now, we have another blockbuster rematch. It will be the phenom himself, THE SUPERFLY, defending his title against The Hammer! Let’s go up to Howard Finkel!”
HOWARD FINKEL: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a 10 minute time limit. In the ring at this time, accompanied by the Mouth of the South Jimmy Hart, he is the #1 challenger to the Intercontinental Championship – GREG “THE HAMMER” VALENTINE!!! And, HIS OPPOOOOOOOOOOONENT:”
MATCH #1: WWF INTERCONTINETAL CHMPIONSHIP
JIMMY “SUPERFLY” SNUKA vs. GREG “THE HAMMER” VALENTINE w/Jimmy Hart
This is a rematch from two weeks ago on WWF Prime Time Wrestling, following a time limit draw. Snuka and Valentine immediately tear into each other, with hard knife-edge chops across the chest. Snuka connected with a head-butt and then a savate kick in the chest. The Superfly hit the ropes again for a leaping head-butt, and that sends The Hammer to the canvas. We then go to an in-set promo from “Macho Man” Randy Savage:
“MACHO MAN” RANDY SAVAGE: “FREAK OUT!!!! FREAK OUT!!!!! It doesn’t matter WHOOOOO wins this match! I don’t care if it’s the HAAAAAAAAAAMER or the SUPERFLY, DIG IT!!!!! THE MACHO MAN WANTS HIS SHOT!!!!! THAT INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE, YEEEEEEAH, IT’S GONNA LOOK GOOOOOOOD ON THE SHOULDER OF THE MAAAAAAACHO MAAAAAN!!!!! OOOOOOOOOOH YEAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!”
Greg Valentine rebounded during those comments from the Macho Man, who clearly is looking to take on the winner of this title match. Valentine measures the fallen Snuka and drills him with the big elbow across the chest. The Hammer starts working over the leg and now he is signalling for the Figure Four. However, Snuka uses his good leg to kick Valentine away. Valentine is back up, but Snuka strikes him with a shot to the throat.
Jimmy Snuka is back now and he hits the ropes for a flying strike to the chest. Valentine falls back into the corner and wobbles out, only to get side kick to chin and then a jumping head-butt. Snuka now climbs up to the top rope and he dives off – THE SUPERFLY SPLASH!!! Snuka stays on top for the 1-2-3!!!! Snuka retains the WWF Intercontinental Championship after a hard-fought match against the very capable Greg Valentine.
WINNER: JIMMY “SUPERFLY” SNUKA
GORILLA MONSOON: “We’ll be right back with The British Bulldogs action!”

-“Mean” Gene Okerlund is standing by in front of the WWF logo with Johnny V-
MEAN GENE OKERLUND: “Joining me now is the manager Luscious Johnny V. Johnny, that’s, well, quite a haircut that you have there!”
JOHNNY V: “Laugh it up, Okerlund! Yuck it up while you can! This guy – THEY’RE CALLING HIM BRUTUS THE BARBER, NOW? Well Brutus The Barber, I got my own sheers and I’m gonna cut you out of the picture, baby!”
MEAN GENE OKERLUND: “But isn’t it true that you are now a man without a country, so to speak? Do you have any clients left?”
JOHNNY V: “Don’t ever count out, the Luscious One! I have my ear to the ground. I’m looking for the lowest of the low! I’m looking for the nasiest, most heinous monster in the sport. I’m looking for a man to do a dirty – it won’t be dirt cheep either! Brutus The Barber, don’t you doubt it for one single second – revenge will be mine, daddy!”
MEAN GENE OKERLUND: “He’s down, but Johnny V says that he is not out yet! Right now, let’s go down to Howard Finkel.”

HOWARD FINKEL: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a 10 minute time limit. In the ring at this time, from Libya, they are The Terrorists. Now making their way down the aisle, accompanied by their manager Captain Lou Albano, hailing from Manchester, England, Davey Boy Smith, the Dynamite Kid… THE BRITISH BUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLDDDDDDOOOOOOGGGGSSSS!”
MATCH #2:
THE BRITISH BULLDOGS w/ Captain Lou Albano vs. THE TERRORISTS
Davey Boy Smith and the Dynamite Kid by dominating The Terrorists from bell to bell. During the bout, we get an in-set promo from The Islanders and Mr. Fuji. Tama accuses The Bulldogs of trying to steal the spotlight – but when you come to the WWF, you have to prove yourself. The Islanders are ready to embarrass The British Bulldogs and send them packing back to England in a hurry. In the ring, Dynamite connects with a brutal snap suplex on Terrorist #2, and then tags into Davey Boy Smith.
Davey Boy drills Terrorist #2 with a big clothesline and then presses the masked man above his head and slams him. Dave Boy tags Dynamite back in and the Kid climbs to the top rope. The Kid comes off the top rope with a flying headbutt and he covers Terrorist #2 for the academic three count to make a huge impression in their WWF debut.
WINNERS: THE BRITISH BULLDOGS
GORILLA MONSOON: “When we come back, it will be Piper’s Pit!!”

WELCOME TO:
PIPER’S PIT!!!!!!
”ROWDY” RODDY PIPER: “You know who I am. You know what this is, man! I just gotta send a BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Jesse The Body. You did great at Saturday Night’s Main Event, Jesse. You and Macho Man sure were a hell of a tag team, and he helped you steal that title match with Hogan.
“Well Jesse Ventura, you enjoy that title match. Because when Hogan or Bundy get done waxing your cueball head on the ring mat, I’ll be standing right behind them, waiting to finish the job!
“Now, I have two big guests tonight. Will you welcome please B. Brian Blair and Jim Brunzell – THE KILLER BEES!”
“ROWDY” RODDY PIPER: “Now Killer Bees, I know you asked to come out here tonight because you got a challenge to make. So be my guest, man!”
B. BRIAN BLAIR: “Thanks for having us out here today, Hot Rod. You’re exactly right. You know, we have stood in the background a bit for the last few months. We’ve been getting wins week in and week out – we haven’t suffered a loss in six months here in the WWF.
“We think we deserve a title match. So we are challenging WWF Tag Team Champions the Hart Foundation to put those belts on the line. Now, Jimmy Hart, we know you’re a weasel. So we’re talking directly to Bret Hart and the Anvil – show some guts and put those belts up!”
“ROWDY” RODDY PIPER: “Let’s see if they have any guts. I know that little run Jimmy Hart has no guts! But you gotta watch out for that little guy and his megaphone.”
JIM BRUNZELL: “You always have to watch out for Jimmy Hart. But you know, Roddy, Brian and I have a few tricks of our own! Bring on the Hart Foundation!”
“ROWDY” RODDY PIPER: “There you have it, man! The Killer Bees put out the challenge – will the Hart Founation accept? That’s all we got time for, but The Hot Rod will be back next week. Remember, often imitated – NEVER EVER DUPLICATED – this has been Piper’s Pit!”

HOWARD FINKEL: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a 10 minute time limit. In the ring at this time, from Phillipsburg, New Jersey, AJ Petruzzi. And his opponent, hailing from Music City USA, accompanied by THE COLONEL JIMMY HART, he is the HONKY TONK MAN!!!!”
MATCH #3:
THE HONKY TONK MAN w/ Jimmy Hart vs. AJ PETRUZZI
Jimmy Hart is looking to rebound, as The Honky Tonk Man takes on perennial journeyman AJ Petruzzi. Honky gets off some of his dance moves early on, but Petruzzi responds by punching him in the face. Petruzzi shoots Honky off the ropes and ducks down, but Honky responds by kicking him in the face. Honky then drives the elbow down on the back of the neck and then connects with a leg lift.
Honky Tonk Man does a juke and jive, before connecting with a knee across the throat. He then comes up to the second rope and jumps off with the fist drop to the forehead. Honky Tonk Man now signals for the end and he connects with the Shake Rattle n’ Roll. Honky makes the cover and he gets the 1-2-3!! Jimmy Hart shouts into the camera that George “The Animal” Steele can “eat his heart out” as the Honky Tonk Man celebrates his victory.
WINNER: THE HONKY TONK MAN
GORILLA MONSOON: “We’ll be right back with our main event here on WWF Prime Time Wrestling.”

This is the grudge match of the year for certain – and you are seeing it right here on the USA Network on Prime Time Wresling!

Hogan hits the ropes and connects with a big elbow drop, as the referee makes the count for the 1-2-no! Bundy powers out! Bundy is struggling to his feet, and Hogan rakes the eyes again. He goes to lift Bundy for the body-slam, but Bundy is too big and he collapses down on top of the champion!
Bundy stays on top of Hogan for the 1-2-no! Hogan gets the shoulder up, but he looks to be in a bad way here. Hogan is struggling to get to his knees, but Bundy connects with a double sledge across the back. Bundy is stomping away on Hogan now, before he scoops him and slams him right in the center of the ring. Bundy hits the ropes and he connects with an elbow drop of his own! Bundy covers and he gets the 1-2-no! Hogan is out. Bundy now hits the ropes again for a big knee drop across the chest! The challenger covers again for the 1-2-no! Hogan kicks out again.
The challenger pulls an injured Hogan up and whips him into the corner. King Kong Bundy is signalling for the end here – it’s over, he says! Bundy now runs full steam ahead across the ring for the Avalanche Splash – BUT HOGAN MOVES!!!! Bundy collides into the corner, and wobbles around into another axe bomber that knocks him off his feet. Bundy is slow to get up, but the champion IS HULKING UP!!!!!! Hogan connects with a right hand – and another! He now scoops Bundy up again – THIS TIME HE SLAMS THE BIG MAN!!! Hogan hits the ropes – AND HE CONNECTS WITH THE ATOMIC LEG DROP!!!! HOGAN COVERS BUNDY FOR THE 1-2-3!!!! HULK HOGAN DEFEATS KING KONG BUNDY!!!! HE HAS GOTTEN HIS REVENGE!!!!

So hold onto that belt while you can – because I have a guaranteed title shot, and you can damn well bet I’m going to USE IT!!!!!”
HULK HOGAN IS MOTIONING FOR THE BODY TO BRING IT ON NOW – VENTURA JUST SMILES AT HIM!!!!
JESSE THE BODY VENTURA NOW STEPS BACK DOWN THE APRON AND SHOUTS THAT THE MATCH WILL HAPPEN ON HIS TERMS!!!!
