Vince McMahon and Jesse Ventura open the program.
McMahon, “Welcome to Hershey, PA, and ‘Superstars’! Jesse, we are a week away from Wrestlemania IV, and the anticipation is rising! Will Hulk Hogan beat Andre, will the Von Erich Brothers win the tag titles, and the big question, who will walk out of Trump Plaza with the WWF Title?”
Ventura, “McMahon, you ask a lot of questions! One thing I do know, Hogan won’t beat Andre, you can bet on that!”
McMahon, “I don’t know Jesse. I think you’re jealous!”
Ventura, “Ha!”
McMahon, “Let’s talk about today. We will see the Junkyard Dog, the Rockers, and Jake Roberts. The Intercontinental Champion, Mr. Perfect, will be in action. In our feature match, the ‘Million Dollar Man’, the WWF Champion, takes on the popular Hillbilly Jim.”
Ventura, “The ‘Hick from Mudlick’ is in trouble.”
Match #1
Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake vs. “Iron” Mike Sharpe
The popular Beefcake struts around with his shears. Sharpe is enraged, and the bell rings. Mike pounds away, and Beefcake is in trouble. Brutus is able to rally. He goes to work, and slaps on the sleeper. Sharpe fights, but he is out. Brutus takes his scissors, and takes off a few locks of hair.
Winner-Brutus Beefcake
Match #2
Non-Title Match
Mr. Perfect (Intercontinental Champion) w/Bobby “The Brain” Heenan vs. S.D. Jones
Perfect will take on the Ultimate Warrior at Wrestlemania IV. Today he meets the veteran from Antigua. Jones starts fast, and Perfect matches him. Heenan shouts instructions from ringside. S.D. Gives it a go, but Perfect is too much. He uses the Perfect plex for the win.
Winner-Mr. Perfect
Sean Mooney is seated at the Wrestlemania IV control center.
Mooney, “Fans, Wrestlemania IV is one week away. The event, at the Trump Plaza in Atlantic City, is sold out, but you can still catch all the action on Pay per View. Bell time is 4:00 PM on April 23. Here is what you will see.

‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage takes on ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper
The winner of that match meets, the WWF Champion, the ‘Million Dollar Man’ Ted DiBiase.
Let’s hear from Mr. Piper, and Mr. Savage.”
Roddy Piper is in the interview area.
Piper, “Ted DiBiase, Randy Savage, one is a friend, one is an enemy, both are enemies, it don’t matter none! ‘Hot Rod’ has been on his own since he was 14 years old! I ain’t afraid of no ‘Macho Man’, no ‘Million Dollar Man’, no man at all! Savage, it’s you first, then DiBiase!”
Randy Savage, and Miss Elizabeth, is in an opposite interview area.
Savage, “Roddy Piper, you’re first! We may be friends, maybe we are, maybe we aren’t, don’t know, don’t care! No I don’t! After that, Ted DiBiase, you’re next, yes you are! The ‘Macho Man’ is going to be the Champion! Ohhh Yeaaa!”
Match #3
The Junkyard Dog vs. Pete Doherty
Plays and the JYD comes to the ring. The “Duke of Dorchester” waits. They lock up, and we have a brawl. Neither man is a mat technician. Doherty takes the Dog’s eyes, and that slows him down. Finally, JYD is too much. He takes over and wins with the big thump.
Winner-Junkyard Dog
Match #4
Jake “The Snake” Roberts vs. Chris Carter
The mysterious “Snake” moves quickly. Carter is a good wrestler, but he’s not the “Snake”. Roberts is at his best. He hits the short clothesline, and follows up with the DDT. He brings Damien into the ring and drapes him over his foe.
Winner-Jake Roberts
Gene Okerlund is with Ted DiBiase and Virgil.
Okerlund, “With me are the WWF Champion, the ‘Million Dollar Man’, and his bodyguard. Mr. DiBiase, you have two of the best in the business hot on your heels. Can you survive Wrestlemania IV?”
DiBiase, “HAHAHA! Okerlund, you’re a fool! Those two idiots are going to tear each other apart! Then, whoever survives, has to face me, the greatest wrestler in the World. You think I’m afraid, you’re wrong! The ‘Million Dollar Man’ is going to retain his title, and then Donald Trump is going to ask me for financial advice. By the way Okerlund, if you ask nicely, I might loan you enough money to buy a toupee HAHAHA!”
Match #5
The Rockers vs. The Conquistadors
This should be an exciting contest. The masked men are very underrated. They start fast. They trap Jannetty in the corner, and work him over. Michaels tries to help, but each time, referee Tim White stops him, and the Conquistadors dish out more punishment. Finally Jannetty breaks free. He tags in Michaels, and Shawn cleans house! Both masked men take to the floor to regroup. They return, and the match goes back and forth. The Rockers hit the Rocker dropper on #2 for the victory.
Winners-The Rockers
Match #6
Non-Title Match
Ted DiBiase (WWF Champion) w/Virgil vs. Hillbilly Jim
THe Champion is sharp. He wrestles smoothly, and aggressively. Jim fights back with his brawling style. The big Hillbilly has his moments, but DiBiase is too much. He clamps on the Million Dollar dream, and Jim is out. Virgil pulls out a hundred dollar bill and stuffs it in his mouth.
Winner-Ted DiBiase
Vince McMahon and Jesse Ventura close the show.
McMahon, “Jesse, the Champion looked good today.”
Ventura, “He always does.”
McMahon, “Wrestlemania IV is next week, I can’t wait, the excitement is going to be intense!”
