Vince McMahon and Jesse Ventura open the show.
McMahon, “Jesse, spring is on the way, and so is ‘Wrestlemania IV’!”
Ventura, “That’s right McMahon, and Randy Savage is here today. He has to go through Roddy Piper, and The ‘Millon Dollar Man’ to win the WWF Title. It won’t be easy, but if anyone can do it, the ‘Macho Man’ can!”
McMahon, “We will talk about Wrestlemania, plus we have a great main event, the Junkyard Dog takes on the “King”!”
Ventura, “Harley Race is a wrestler, I’m betting on him.”
McMahon, “The fans are behind the JYD! Let’s get things started!”
Match #1
The Bushwhackers vs. Pete Doherty and Barry Horowitz
Plays and the Bushwhackers come to the ring. They attack Doherty and Horowitz. Referee Tim White has his hand full. He gets things sorted out, and it’s Luke and Horowitz. Barry tries to use wrestling, but Luke brawls. Butch he tags in and continues the fight. The “Duke” tags in, and we have a pier six brawl. The Bushwhackers use the battering ram for the win.
Winners-The Bushwhackers
Match #2
Non-Title Match
Demolition (WWF Tag Team Champions) w/Mr. Fugi vs. Jerry Allen and Chris Carter
The Champions will meet the Von Erich Brothers at Wrestlemania IV. They have looked unbeatable, but so have the buoys from Texas. Ax starts with Allen. The big veteran dishes out punishment to the muscular youngster. Carter tags in and tries his hand. He fares no better. Smash enters and the Champions use Demolition decapitation for the win.
Winners-Demolition
Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth are with “Mean” Gene Okerlund.
Okerlund, “With me are the ‘Macho Man’, and the lovely Elizabeth. Randy Savage, you meet Roddy Piper at Wrestlemania IV, and then, if you win, you challenge the ‘Million Dollar Man’ for the WWF Title.”
Savage, “Gene Okerlund it won’t be easy…”
Roddy Piper walks onto the set.
Piper, “Whoa, whoa, whoa! This must be a mistake. I’m the number one contender too. I should be in on this interview. Savage, you blame me for losing to DiBiase. I took care of Davis, you just weren’t smart enough to take advantage of it!”
Savage, “Watch it Piper! We don’t have to wait for Wrestlemania, we can get it started today! Ohhh Yeaaa!”
Okerlund, “Gentleman please, we don’t have to have any trouble!”
Piper, “No trouble ‘Mean Gene’. Savage and I are still friends, but we might not be after Wrestlemania!”
Piper offers his hand to Savage, Randy hesitates, but shakes it.
Okerlund, “Wrestlemania will be one for the ages!”
Match #3
“Macho Man” Randy Savage w/Miss Elizabeth vs. “Iron” Mike Sharpe
Plays and the “Macho Man”, and Miss Elizabeth come down the aisle. The rugged veteran, Mike Sharpe, waits in the ring. Sharpe is very aggressive, and takes the fight to Savage. The “Macho Man” fights back. He slams Sharoe, and uses the flying elbow for the win.
