WWF PRIME TIME WRESTLING
Air Date: 5/25/86 On USA Network
Taped In Studio
Matches from: 5/9/86 Philadelphia Spectrum
Host: Gorilla Monsoon & "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert
Gorilla Monsoon: " Welcome to Prime Time Wrestling, showcasing the greatest athletes in the world today, the WWF Superstars in super bouts! Gorilla Monsoon here, and yes I'm joined once again here on this fine Memorial Day by 'Hot Stuff' Eddie Gilbert... Hot Stuff, you look ridiculous. "
Gilbert is dressed up as Uncle Sam, complete with top hat.
"Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert: " It's not ridiculous, I'm UNCLE SAM. "
Gorilla Monsoon: " You may look like Uncle Sam, but you're Bennidict Arnold in my book..."
Eddie Gilbert: " Hey! I take offense to that banana brain, I manage a former OLYMPIC POWER LIFTER by the name of Ken Patera, ever here of 'em? "
Gorilla Monsoon: " As true as that is, you ALSO came to this company as a Russian Sympathizer mere months ago Gilbert.. you can cover yourself in all the red, white and blue you want but there's no denying that..."
Eddie Gilbert: " Oh no, you got it all wrong Monsoon. I never sympathized with the Russians, I EXPLOITED the Russians... it's different..."
Gorilla Monsoon: " Good grief! We've got a great show for you here today, with matches originating from the Philadelphia Spectrum, rather fitting if you ask me as Philadelphia was the Nation's first capital. "
Eddie Gilbert: " It's also the home of cream cheese..."
Gorilla Monsoon: " Let's not waste anymore time and head up to ringside for the Young Stallions in tag team action!"
Dick Graham and the "Living Legend" Larry Zybszko are on commentary for this one. The Stallions opposition for the night are Jerry Graham Jr. and Steve Lombardi, who Larry has some fun referring to Jerry as Graham's baby cousin. Graham isn't having it. It's not the squash you'd assume it to be as we actually get some heat on Roma for a bit building to the hot tag from Powers. In the end however it's a Power's powerslam that sets up an impressive top rope splash from Roma on the future Brooklyn Brawler for the win.

The Young Stallions (Paul Roma & Jim Powers) defeated Dr. Jerry Graham Jr. & Steve Lombardi when Roma pinned Lombardi off a top rope splash at 8:45.
Dick Graham: " Listen to the people Larry, they love these Young Stallions!"
Larry Zybszko: " You need to re-adjust your hearing aid Mr. Graham, rather apathetic if you ask me. Still a wins, a win and the Stallions just won, however the opposition was to put it lightly a bit underwhelming..."
Back to the studio.
Gorilla Monsoon: " There you have it, the Stallions with an impressive victory. A rather breath taking splash from Mr. Roma..."
Eddie Gilbert: " Didn't know he had it in him honestly. I was impressed... Steve Lombardi's no walk in the park... I mean he's never won a match here, wrestles each week, up and down the road... constantly is pinned or submitted... wait... maybe he is a walk in the park.."
Gorilla Monsoon: " He's hungry..."
Eddie Gilbert: " I KNOW I've seen him at catering..."
Gorilla Monsoon: " Would you stop! Fans we're taking a quick break, when we return we'll be looking back at an incident involving the newly crowned World Wrestling Federation tag team champions the Rockers AND potential top contenders in the form of the All Americans AND former champions the Hart Foundation!"
Commercial Break
Eddie Gilbert: " You know what team I'd love to see Monsoon? Mr. X and Steve Lombardi, to me that's a team that's sure to entertain me..."
Gorilla Monsoon: " Perhaps one day we will see that team... hey you can manage them..."
Eddie Gilbert: " I wouldn't be opposed to it... as long as they split their end of the losers purse with me, right down the middle... 70 for me... 30 for them... then again is it really worth the three dollars? "
Gorilla Monsoon: " Speaking of tag teams, we're going to take you back right now to Superstars of Wrestling where the Rockers were confronted by not one, BUT two great teams in the form of the All Americans and the Hart Foundation!"
Cut to Superstars of Wrestling. Vince McMahon and Larry Zybszko are on commentary as Mean Gene Okerlund stands at the podium.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund: " Ladies and gentlemen please welcome my guest at this time, the newly crowned World Tag Team Champions.. THE ROCKERS!"
Que the music. And here they come.
Vince McMahon: " LISTEN TO THE OVATION LARRY!"
Larry Zybszko: " Big deal..."
Gene Okerlund: " First things first fellas, congratulations are surely in order... after months and months of chasing the former champions: the Hart Foundation, how does it feel to finally be standing up top the tag team mountain here in the World Wrestling Federation!"
Shawn Michaels: " You know Gene, it's a real dream come true! We spent a good chunk of the year chasing these belts all over these United States, and FINALLY we got our due! The Hart Foundation, they were good champions, no doubt... but Marty and me? We're going to be better. We're going to do what the Harts did, we're gonna defend these belts all over the United States, but we're going to do it WITHOUT bending the rules..."
Larry Zybszko: " Half their double team moves are them BENDING the rules..."
Gene Okerlund: " Speaking of defending those titles, it's been announced by President Jack Tunney that you WILL be defending those titles on July the 14th live and only on Pay Per View at the Wrestling Classic from Sullivan Stadium against a yet to be determined team.."
Marty Jannetty: " And we can't wait. It's a real honor you know, to represent this company on such a big show like the Wrestling Classic. We can't wait..."
AND WITH that the champions are interrupted by.....
![](http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j432/jaycm8/PUNS%202012/rotunda1.jpg)
THE ALL AMERICANS??? Terry Taylor and Mike Rotunda?? Some boos here and some cheers.
Vince McMahon: " A rather tepid reaction for the All Americans here..."
Terry Taylor: " I hate to do this... I'm sorry to interrupt...first off all.. Marty, Shawn... congrats on the win, Mikey and myself were hot on the Hart's tail too and it's great to see that they finally got their comeuppance, you know? "
Gene Okerlund: " A lot of people believe it was just a matter of time and it could have been either one of you two great teams..."
Terry Taylor: " Thanks Gene, that's actually what brings us out here.. see we were hot on their tail... we got some disqualification wins over them... and we were back there listening.. did I hear it right... Shawn, Marty, you guys DON'T have opponents for the Wrestling Classic? "
Shawn Michaels: " Jack Tunney hasn't told us yet..."
Terry Taylor: " Well, right here and now we'd like to throw our names in the hat... and we'd LOVE a shot at those titles at the Wrestling Classic!"
Gene Okerlund: " I'd LOVE to see that... Shawn... Marty... how about it.."
Shawn Michaels: " You know, I hate to be THAT guy... but it isn't up to us... BUT IF IT WAS WE'D..."
Gene Okerlund: " WAIT A MINUTE..."
Here comes Jimmy Hart, Jim Neidhart and "The Hit Man" Bret Hart!
![](http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff277/prowrestlingplus/classic/harts.jpg)
Bret "the Hit Man" Hart: " Before you go promising the world to these pretenders over here... I'll let you know... you punks GOT LUCKY... and those belts BELONG TO US.. so if anybody is challenging you two pretty boys at the pay per view... it's ME IN THE ANVIL!"
Jimmy Hart: " That's right Hit Man! You tell 'em baby!"
Mike Rotunda: " Shut your mouth Hit Man! If it wasn't for the Rockers here, we would have been the ones holding those titles.. we had your number... you guys should go to the back of the line.. TELL 'EM GENE..."
Gene Okerlund: " ME? I'm just a bystander in all of this.."
All Americans go nose to nose with the Hart Foundation.
Shawn Michaels: " HOLD ON... HOLD ON! Like I was trying to say... this isn't our call... this lies on the big man himself... Jack Tunney... HE tells us who to defend against... so MAYBE you should be knocking on HIS door instead of interrupting our interview time... "
Bret Hart: " MAYBE we will... BUT RIGHT NOW... RIGHT NOW... "
RIGHT HAND TO TAYLOR!! ROTUNDA fights back and takes a swing at Neidhart! It's CHAOS... BUT LOOK AT THIS... Bret ducks a Taylor right hand and it hits SHAWN! All three teams are going at it... BUT THE HARTS SNEAK AWAY... Jimmy is laughing... Bret and Neidhart are laughing.. AS THE ALL AMERICANS ARE THE ROCKERS ARE BRAWLING!
Vince McMahon: " THEY CAUSED THIS.. THE HART FOUNDATION CAUSED ALL THIS!"
Larry Zybszko: " I KNOW! Isn't it great! They manipulated the whole situation McMahon and got the hell out of town once it got going! It's genius!"
A slew of officials are out there to separate the two baby face teams as we cut back to the studio.
Gorilla Monsoon: " As Larry Zybszko put it so bluntly, your friend Jimmy Hart and his Hart Foundation manipulated that entire situation right there, leading to two great fan favorite tag teams coming to blows..."
Eddie Gilbert: " Maybe the Harts are responsible... BUT MAYBE it was the All Americans finally realizing that the Rockers SHOULDN'T of been the ones challenging for the gold last week.. MAYBE it should have been them.. OR maybe the Rockers... well.. maybe the party boys are smarter than they look and THEY manipulated the entire situation. You know what Tunney did right? This up coming weekend? "
Gorilla Monsoon: " In fact I was just about to get to that.. President Jack Tunney has decided that on Championship Wrestling the Hart Foundation and the All Americans will meet with the winners of that bout going on to face the Rockers at the Wrestling Classic...should be one heck of a match, Eddie.."
Eddie Gilbert: " See! That right there... maybe THAT's what the Rockers wanted! Both of 'em to KILL each other so they don't have to face EITHER team come the Wrestling Classic! Then again, I don't know how'd they ever find the time to devise a plan like that... on account of all the partying they do..."
Gorilla Monsoon: " A situation we WILL be updating you on next week no matter what the outcome! Right now fans we head back up to ringside for... well your man Eddie Gilbert, the 'Ravishing One' Rick Rude makes his Prime Time debut against one of my person favorites... former 4 time tag team champion: Tony Garea!"
Gilbert's in the corner, this is our first look at Rude. Graham talks about hearing a lot of things about Rick Rude, but you can't deny Tony Garea as the man's a multi-time tag team champion. Larry was one of those partners, so he reflects on never understanding a word Garea said based on his accent. Rude's in control in the early going, but you can't count Garea out who goes on an out of nowhere tear. Garea shoots him in for a back body drop, BUT GETS DROPPED OUT OF NOWHERE WITH A DDT (which gets called as "almost a reverse bulldog" by Graham)! Stick a fork in 'em... Garea's done!
![](http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/psychoandy/images/d/d7/Rickrude.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120109044354)
"Ravishing" Rick Rude w/ "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert defeated Tony Garea via pinfall off a Rude Awakening (DDT) at 7:17.
Rude blows a snot rocket on the downed Garea after the bell.
Larry Zybszko: " Now that's rude, and I LOVE it Dick!"
Graham: " Not very sportsmen like, but still a rather impressive debut for the Ravishing One here tonight at the Spectrum!"
Cut back to Gilbert and Monsoon.
Gorilla Monsoon: " A victory over Tony Garea, no small feet, for your man Eddie. I've gotta ask you, just what do you call that move of his there..."
Eddie Gilbert: " Oh that? That's the Rude Awakening.. it can come out of nowhere, isn't it great? Tony Garea didn't see it coming, and with that MY MAIN MAN, Rick Rude has arrived!"
Gorilla Monsoon: " He certainly has, someone to really keep an eye on... I'm impressed Eddie, I'll tell you that much. Rick Rude seems like a guy that can make you a lot of money...fans we're taking a break, when we return we'll be taking a look back at a match up from Championship Wrestling with the Macho Man and Brutus Beefcake, newsworthy actions from the Macho Man, something you don't want to miss that's for sure!"
Commercial Break
Gorilla Monsoon: " We're back here on Prime Time Wrestling, and we're about to take a look at some recent action that took place between the Macho Man Randy Savage and Brutus 'the Barber' Beefcake from Superstars of Wrestling. A little back story here, Brutus had been very vocal earlier in the program about Savage and his up coming title match..."
Eddie Gilbert: " He's the Hulksters best friend, not a lot of people know this, but it's true. SO he ran his mouth about how Savage, went as far as to insinuate that the Macho Man didn't deserve his up coming title match with the champ, and well, Monsoon... if you ask me he got what was coming to him before the day was over. "
Gorilla Monsoon: " We'll let the folks at home judge from themselves Eddie, but it was without a doubt one of the lowest things I've ever seen here in the World Wrestling Federation, and I've seen YOU wrestle! Let's go to the video tape, the footage simply put speaks for itself!"
JIP with Vince McMahon and Larry Zybszko on commentary. We're out on the floor with Savage hoisting Beefcake up and dropping him throat first across the guardrail.
Vince McMahon: (As Savage drapes Beefcake throat first across the rail and heads back into the ring) " The Barber out on the outside, he's hurt. "
Larry: " Watch this Vince, I don't believe this..."
Savage mounts the top rope and FLIES to the floor with an axehandle!
Vince McMahon: " Beefcake's grabbing his throat... looks like he's trying to swallow his tongue!"
Bell sounds as Savage pulls Beefcake into the ring.
Larry Zybszko: " I believe they counted out the Barber, that would be my guess anyway. I don't know, we have to get some sort of call here McMahon!"
Savage rolls to the outside and grabs the ring bell!
Vince McMahon: " What is going on here? He's got the bell! He's got the bell!"
Savage is perched on the top rope and DRIVES THE BELL FROM THE TOP INTO THE THROAT OF BEEFCAKE!!
Larry Zybszko: " WHOA... "
Beefcake is selling like a mad man.
Vince McMahon: " Beefcake can't breathe! "
Savage is pacing now, arming himself with the bell again.
Vince McMahon: " Get that animal away from him! Beefcake can't breathe... GET THE DOCTOR! GET THE DOCTOR!"
Larry Zybszko: " Savage is going to do it again McMahon.. he's sending a message to the Hulkster right here and right now..."
Our official nearly shoves Savage off the top, Randy lands on the apron and is wild eyed and crazy as McMahon shouts...
Vince McMahon: " He's TURNING PURPLE.. get the DOCTOR.. GET THE DOCTOR!"
Larry: " He's hurt... he's hurt severely.."
Vince McMahon: " Officials in the ring now... Beefcake is hurt, he's hurt severely."
Stretcher is out, and Beefcake is loaded on as Savage poses in the ring.
Cut back to the studio.
Gorilla Monsoon: " A crushed larynx is the early verdict here, Macho Man, well he could have killed the man..."
Eddie Gilbert: " It's a good thing he didn't, I mean.. WHERE would you get your hair cut Monsoon? "
Gorilla: " Would you stop! This is very serious Hot Stuff. Actions should be taken against the man, in my estimation he was clearly TRYING to end the man's career out there.."
Eddie Gilbert: " He was sending a MESSAGE Monsoon... a message to the World's Champion. You know Hulk was out here last week running his mouth about Elizabeth, and you DON'T TALK about Elizabeth. Beefcake backed him up, and NOW he doesn't talk at all! It's gonna be some time before we see the Barber, and I'm sure when he's back he'll be staying clear of the Macho Man!"
Gorilla Monsoon: " Highly unlikely. He's going to be out of action for months, BUT IF and WHEN he's comes back I'm sure the Macho Man will be the first one to know about it! Speaking of the Macho Man, we've got a PRIME TIME exclusive as the Dean Of Professional Wrestling himself Gordon Solie is standing by with Randy Savage to discuss this matter."
Cut to Gordon Solie, with Randy Savage.
![](http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/XDUKYYyxxCw/mqdefault.jpg)
Gordon Solie: " Thank you Gorilla. I'm here with the 'Macho Man' Randy Savage, we just saw the footage and I have it on good authority a hefty fine has been thrown your way sir, and rightfully so as you tried to end Brutus Beefcake's career this past weekend. "
![](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/PrlSz-Xxo50/hqdefault.jpg)
Randy Savage: " I did what I had to do, yeah... I'll pay, I'll pay with a SMILE ON MY FACE.... a LESSON had to be taught Gordon Solie... AND CLASS WAS IN SESSION THIS PAST WEEKEND, CLASS WAS IN SESSION.. He tried to talk trash, WELL HE AIN'T TALKING NO MORE.... NO MORE, yeah.... you think Hulk Hogan was watching? You think he was watching WHEN I CRUSHED HIS BEST FRIENDS THROAT? "
Gordon Solie: " Well if he wasn't I'm sure he's been made more than aware of your actions Mr. Savage... and I'm sure it won't sit well. "
Randy Savage: " GOOD.... yeah... throwing FUEL on the fire... GEARING UP FOR THE CLASSIC... riding on a wave of momentum... DE SKIES DE LIMIT... Hulk Hogan, you're next... YOU HEAR ME.... 'cause I heard you, brother... YEAH! I heard what he had to say about Elizabeth... about ME... I heard it all.. yeah, I heard it all... AND THAT'S WHY I did what I DID to the Barber... THAT'S WHY I CRUSHED HIS THROAT... yeah... THE BLOOD'S ON YOUR HANDS HOGAN! AND IT'S NOTHING... YOU HEAR ME?? NOTHING compared to what I'm gonna do to you come July the 14th at Sullivan Stadium.... NUTTIN!"
Gordon Solie: " This is gearing up to be a grudge match of the ages at this rate..."
Randy Savage: " AND I LIKE IT! TOO HOT TO HANDLE... TO COLD TO HOLD.... OHHHHH YEAHHH!"
Gordon Solie: " A wild and out of control individual, Randy Savage is. Gorilla, Mr. Gilbert back to you...."
Cut back to the studio
Gorilla Monsoon: " Thanks a lot Gordon. In light of the seriousness here when it comes to the injury suffered by the Barber, I've gotta say it's great to have Mr. Solie as part of this team each and every Monday Night. As far as the Barber goes however, it's going to be some time till we see him... and from what I understand he WAS to be announced for the big Wrestling Classic tournament, it's a real shame. "
Eddie Gilbert: " Maybe... I know one person who's happy about this... "
Gorilla Monsoon: " How can anyone be happy about this? "
Eddie Gilbert: " The greatest singer of all time the Honky Tonk Man is happy about this Monsoon, and MY BEST FRIEND Jimmy Hart too... maybe it's more than one. All those hapless saps that Barber takes advantage of and cuts their hair, they're happy too.... HECK I'm HAPPY. The Beefcake problem has FINALLY been exterminated here in the World Wrestling Federation! HAHAHA..."
Gorilla Monsoon: " Would you stop! The Hulkster's not happy, I can tell you that. And the champion is ONE person I would NEVER want on MY BAD SIDE...he's going to make the challenger pay come July the 14th at Sullivan Stadium... Right now however, let's head up to ringside as action continues from the Spectrum with you're personal favorite the man from the Australian Outback, OUT BACK JACK in action!"
Eddie Gilbert: " BLIMEY..."
Graham & Larry are back on the call as Outback Jack battles Johnny Rodz. It's ugly, but kept real short with Jack winning with the Boomerang at just over 4 minutes. Crowd boo's Jack as he celebrates his win.
Outback Jack defeated Johnny Rodz via pinfall off the Boomerang at 4:11.
Cut back to the studio
Eddie Gilbert: " Did you hear the crowd Monsoon? They weren't cheering... they weren't cheering because that move is the stupidest thing I've ever seen..."
Gorilla Monsoon: " Philadelphia is the toughest town in all of the country... and as far as it being stupid... well it was effective against the veteran Johnny Rodz..."
Eddie Gilbert: " I've said it before, I'll say it again... you hit a guy like Ken Patera, Dave Schultz or Rick Rude with a clothesline you better hope he goes down because there's NO WAY he's gonna stand around and wait to be hit with another one!"
Gorilla Monsoon: " We're taking a break, when we return we've got more great action, PLUS Mean Gene Okerlund with a very special update as MORE names are announced for the big Wrestling Classic Tournament! Don't touch that dial!"
Commercial Break
Gorilla Monsoon: " Welcome back to Prime Time Wrestling, we take you now to Mean Gene Okerlund with a very special update as the field of 8 for the Wrestling Classic continues to grow with four more names to announce!"
Update With Mean Gene Okerlund!
The talk of the town is the big news that the World Wrestling Federation is returning to Pay Per View Tuesday Night July the 14th, mark your calenders, get your tickets, call your cable company. The event will originate from Sullivan Stadium in beautiful Foxborough, Massachusetts. The event will feature a 16 man single elimination tournament for a grand prize of 500,000 dollars! That's right half a million dollars goes towards the winner! Four more names added to the mix, joining Doug Furnas, Road Warrior Hawk, "Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko, WWF Intercontinental Champion: Tito Santana, Road Warrior Animal, "Soul Man" Rocky Johnson,"World's Strongest Man" Ken Patera, & "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes and those names are as follows:

We had a chance to talk to some of the tournament competitors early this week and here's what they had to say!
First up it's..
ROCKY JOHNSON!
![](http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/pictures/r/rockyjohnson/03.jpg)
Rocky Johnson: " The Wrestling Classic, 16 of this sports top competitors. Can't think of a better way to show the baddies of the World Wrestling Federation that the Soul Man is back then to win it all on June the 14th at Sullivan Stadium!"
Cut to the Road Warriors & Paul Ellering.
![](http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w586/funwrest/lod_zps37abde51.jpg)
Animal: " BEATIN' PEOPLE UP, AND MAKING MONEY... IT'S WHAT WE DO BEST... TELL 'EM HAWK!"
Hawk: " I LOOK AT THE FIELD... I SEE 14 DEAD MEN... WE AIN'T DEAD.. WE'RE THE ONES RIPPIN' THEIR HEARTS OUT 'CAUSE DEAD MEN DON'T MAKE MONEY... AND WE'VE GOT 250,000 DOLLARS WITH OUR NAMES ON IT! AIN'T THAT RIGHT PAUL!"
Paul Ellering: " George Orwell once wrote; Sometimes the first duty of intelligent men is the restatement of the obvious. The obvious here is simple.. The Hawk, the Animal... THEY ARE THE LIVING IN A SEA OF THE DEAD... THE STRONGEST... THE MEANEST... THE TOUGHEST... 250,000 dollars is OURS for the taking... ALL OURS..."
HAWK: " OWWWW WHAT A RUSH!!"
Cut to "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert & "World's Strongest Man" Ken Patera
![](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ftOkyJY_hWk/hqdefault.jpg)
Eddie Gilbert: " I don't have to search for the words.. there's not much too it really.. KEN PATERA is the WORLD's STRONGEST MAN... and he's the man that's going to bring 250,000 dollars to Hot Stuff International! Ain't that right Kenny!"
Ken Patera: " YEAH...."
![](http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr36/altreel/Pro_Wrestlers_Bios/Ken_Patera.png)
Patera poses stopping to kiss his bicep.
Eddie Gilbert: " AND SHOULD that pretender, that PUNK KID Dougie Furnas happen to get in OUR WAY.. we're gonna cut him down to size, FOR GOOD. THIS RIGHT HERE, is the REAL WORLD'S STRONGEST MAN... and that's EXACTLY why he's going to win the Wrestling Classic.. BECAUSE THERE AIN'T NO ONE STRONG ENOUGH TO PUT HIM DOWN! Not Doug Furnas, not FLUBBY RHODES... NO MAN! HAHAHA! Ken Patera's gonna win it all!"
Cut back to Gene... reminding us that's not all we'll see at the Wrestling Classic as of course we've got the BIG ONE with Hulk Hogan defending the World Wrestling Federation Championship against No.1 Contender Randy Savage AND we'll see a defense of the WWF Tag Team Championships as The Rockers will defend against either the All Americans OR the Hart Foundation, with Gene reminding us to watch Superstars next week to see just which team it ends up being... PLUS MUCH MORE!
NOW the talk turns to, WELL JUST WHO IS THE WORLD'S STRONGEST MAN! Clips of both Patera & Doug Furnas performing feats of strength are shown. Gene let's us know that Patera and Doug Furnas will meet in an arm wrestling match sometime in the near future!
AND it's back to Gorilla & Hot Stuff.
Gorilla Monsoon: " How do you like that Eddie, an arm wrestling match with your man Ken Patera & Doug Furnas to come.."
Eddie Gilbert: " Yeah, well... soon... we're just ironing out the details... and the rules.... I mean there's lots of rules in an arm wrestling match..."
Gorilla Monsoon: " Seems like a rather simple concept to me Hot Stuff.."
Eddie Gilbert: " That's because you, like Doug Furnas, are a very simple person.... this thing has to be legit... you know? That's how we're going to settle this... so I'm combing through rule books... so is Ken... and yeah... it'll happen... WHEN WE SAY IT'LL HAPPEN..."
Gorilla Monsoon: " Sounds like a lot of hot air to me..."
Eddie Gilbert: " Hey if I say it'll happen, then it'll happen...."
Gorilla Monsoon: " Something to keep an eye on for sure... speaking of your Hot Stuff International we're about to get a look at one of your men in our main event; David Schultz as he battles 'Polish Power' Ivan Putski.."
Eddie Gilbert: " Did you hear the one about the Polish man who locked his keys in the car? "
Gorilla Monsoon: " Here we go again.."
Eddie Gilbert: " He had to use a coat hanger to get his family out."
Gorilla Monsoon: " WOULD YOU STOP! Let's head up to ringside, as we've got the World's Strongest Man Doug Furnas in action!"
Eddie Gilbert: "COUGH*FRAUD*COUGH"
Jimmy Backlund is the opposition so we spend some time pondering if he's related to Bob. Before we can come to a conclusion the Full Nelson is applied and that's all she wrote for Jimmy right there.
![](http://wrestlinghavoc.ru/img/other/furnas.jpg)
"World's Strongest Man" Doug Furnas defeated Jimmy Backlund via submission to the Full Nelson at 2:45.
Cut back to the studio.
Gorilla Monsoon: " Doug Furnas with another quick victory, I believe that the Full Nelson of his just may be unbreakable Hot Stuff..."
Eddie Gilbert: " You're talking about Ken Patera's full nelson, right? 'CAUSE no one gets out of the Swinging Full Nelson..."
Gorilla Monsoon: " I'm talking about Doug Furnas, the winner of the match WE JUST SAW, were you even paying attention.."
Eddie Gilbert: " OF COURSE I was, Doug Furnas beat some skinny little twerp with KEN PATERA'S MOVE... but you said UNBREAKABLE, and the ONLY FULL NELSON that's unbreakable belongs to Ken Patera... Doug Furnas'? Kenny can break it, heck he'd probably break one of Doug's arms in the process... MAYBE BOTH OF 'em even..."
Gorilla Monsoon: " I'd like to see him try, that's for sure... RIGHT NOW we're headed up to ringside for our main event! Ivan Putski takes on "Dr. D" David Schultz!"
Dick Graham and Larry Zybszko call the "action" but it's a Putski match so it's no classic. Crowd has some fun with it however as Schultz riles them up real good. Graham believes that Schultz isn't above hitting a fan and that could spell real trouble for him here in the World Wrestling Federation. Larry agrees, but also states that the fans have it coming to them for getting into Dr. D's face. Putski's in control with a bearhug as we cut back to Gorilla and Eddie Gilbert.
Gorilla Monsoon: " Ivan Putski in control of this one right now, hey Hot Stuff?"
Eddie Gilbert:" Did you hear about the Polish Admiral who wanted to be buried at sea when he died? Five sailors died digging his grave."
Gorilla Monsoon: " WOULD YOU STOP! Fans we're taking a break, when we return it'll be with the conclusion of our featured match so don't you dare touch that dial!"
Commercial Break
Gorilla Monsoon: " Welcome back to Prime Time Wrestling, we're in the midst of a thrilling contest as 'Polish Power' Ivan Putski is putting on a clinic in there against 'Dr. D' David Schultz.."
Eddie Gilbert: " Speaking of clinics Monsoon. Polish guy goes to the Doctor and ask..."
Gorilla Monsoon: " I'm gonna cut you off right there, I think we're all better off for it. The action continues here on Prime Time Wrestling!"
Dr. D takes a few short cuts here and gets things going back his way. Gilbert sneaks in some shots behind the officials back getting some good heat from the crowd. Graham doesn't like the tactics by Hot Stuff International, but Larry is quick to point out their effective. Schultz looks for a piledriver but eats a backdrop! Putski's got the crowd behind him as he mounts his comeback BUT OUT OF NOWHERE Schultz trips him up in the corner with his feet in the ropes covers...

"Dr. D" David Schultz w/ "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert defeated "Polish Power" Ivan Putski via pinfall with his feet in the ropes at 9:19.
Cut back to the studio.
Eddie Gilbert: " Did you see the look on Putski's face there... HAHA... PRICELESS MONSOON!"
Gorilla Monsoon: " Real proud of yourself aren't you? You an your man Schultz just pulled a fast one... highway robbery out there in my opinion... "
Eddie Gilbert: " Is that so? Hey listen, there is NO INSTANT replay rule in pro wrestling banana man, a win is a win. It's like my friend Jesse Ventura says... win if you can, lose if you must, BUT ALWAYS CHEAT! "
Gorilla Monsoon: " One of these days Ivan Putski's not just going to get revenge on David Schultz, he's gonna get his hands ON YOU and I for one just may throw a party to celebrate! Fans we're just about out of time, for Eddie Gilbert, and all of us here at the World Wrestling Federation, I'm Gorilla Monsoon & I hope you all had a great Memorial Day... the Summer starts now! Join us here on the USA Network next week for more great World Wrestling Federation action!"
