Kevin, “Demolition, we’re in Texas, and Kerry, and I, are ready to give you a Texas sized whooping!”

We see Demolition, and Mr. Fugi.
Fugi, “Von Erichs, you are stupid Texans! Demolition is under my control. We will destroy you!”
We see Ted DiBiase and Virgil.
DiBiase, “Hogan, you are going to pay a price for my Title being stolen at Wrestlemania IV! You’re a big name, and I’m going to walk over you!”
We see Hulk Hogan.
Hogan, “Let me tell you something, Multi-Million Man, you talk big, but you can’t back it up! What you gonna’ do when ‘Hulkamania’ comes running after you!”
Vince McMahon, and Jesse Ventura, open the program.
McMahon, “Welcome to ‘Saturday Night’s Main Event’! Jesse, Wrestlemania IV is in the books, and the ‘Macho Man’ is the new WWF Champion!”
Ventura, “He is, but the ‘Million Dollar a Man’ is out for revenge, and Hulk Hogan is in his way!”
McMahon, “That’s one of our main events, Hulk Hogan meets the ‘Million Dollar Man’! In our second, the Von Erichs, in their home State, challenge Demolition for the tag team titles!”
Ventura, “Those Texicans couldn’t do it at Wrestlemania, they won’t do it tonight!”
McMahon, “Let’s things started with Billy Jack Haynes!”
Match #1
Billy Jack Haynes vs. Barry Horowitz
Haynes starts fast. The powerhouse from Portland uses his strength to control the action. Horowitz is no pushover, and he puts up a good fight. Haynes is able to take over and wins with the full Nelson.
Winner-Billy Jack Haynes
“Mean” Gene Okerlund is with the Von Erich Brothers.
Okerlund, “With me are two ‘Sons of Texas’. Gentlemen, you challenge Demolition again tonight. At Wrestlemania IV, you came close to taking the titles, but Demolition escaped.”
Kevin, “Escaped is the right word. They didn’t win the match, but they kept the titles. Kerry and I know this won’t be easy, but we’re going to win for all these Texans here tonight!”
Kerry, “Demolition, you can’t beat a Texan in Texas, it’s not going to happen!”
Okerlund, “Let’s hear from the Champions.”
We see Demolition and Mr. Fugi in an interview area.
Fugi, “Von Erichs, you not Champions, you never be Champions! Ax, Smash, two monsters, they ready to destroy you! You be embarrassed in front of your fans! It all over for you!”
Match #2
WWF Tag Team Championship
Demolition (Champions) w/Mr. Fugi vs. The Von Erich Brothers
The Texas crowd explodes when the Von Erichs come to the ring. The Champions slowly walk down the aisle. The excitement is unbelievable. Kevin and Ax open the contest. Ax uses his size and strength to dish out punishment. The Corpus Christi crowd is worried. Kevin is trapped in the corner. Kerry shouts encouragement from the opposite corner. Demolition tags in and out, and Fugi gets in a few shots with his cane. Finally, Kevin escapes, and tags his younger brother. Kerry comes in a house afire. He cleans house, and the Champions take to the floor to confer with their manager. Both sides tag in and out. It ends up Kerry and Smash in the ring. Von Erich whips Smash into the ropes and hits the tornado punch. He covers Smash, and referee Joey Marella counts 1...2...3! The Von Erichs win the Titles! The crowd goes crazy! Kevin and Kerry hold the titles aloft, as their fellow Texans cheer wildly!
Winners-The Von Erichs (New WWF Tag Team Champions)
Vince McMahon, and Jesse Ventura, are in the announce position.
McMahon, “Jesse, what a win by the Von Erichs! The eyes of Texas are smiling!”
Ventura. “Yea, yea, this time. But Demolition will be back.”
McMahon, “I don’t think so. The Von Erich's are going to be Champions for a long, long time! Now let’s talk about our next match. Both Hulk Hogan, and Ted DiBiase, suffered defeats at Wrestlemania IV. Tonight the road to redemption starts for both men.”
Ventura, “I gotta’ say, my money’s on the ‘Million Dollar. Man’. I think Andre took too much out of Hogan.”
McMahon, “Maybe so, let’s hear from Ted DiBiase.”
Sean Mooney is with Ted DiBiase and Virgil.
Mooney, “With me is the former WWF Champion, the ‘Million Dollar Man’.”
DiBiase, “Watch it little man! Drop the former stuff!”
Mooney, “Well, the ‘Macho Man’ is the Champion, but tonight, you meet Hulk Hogan. Like you, he wants to start another winning streak.”
DiBiase, “Hogan’s looking to make a name for himself by beating me. I’m not letting that happen, I’ve got a BIG surprise for him tonight!”
Mooney, “What BIG surprise?”
DiBiase, “You just wait and see! HAHAHAHA!”
Mooney, “Let’s to ‘Mean’ Gene Okerlund, and The ‘Hulkster’!”
“Mean” Gene Okerlund is with Hulk Hogan.
Okerlund, “With me is Hulk Hogan! Hulkster, you suffered a count out loss the Andre the Giant at Wrestlemania IV. Now you take on the Million Dollar Man. That is quite a challenge.”
Hogan, “You know something Mean Gene! The comeback trail starts tonight! Multi-Million Dollar Man, you think I’m going to roll over and play dead! The little Hulkster want to see me teach ‘Money Bags’ a lesson! They want to see him get his! The road back starts tonight! Ted DiBiase, whatcha’ gonna’ do when ‘Hulkamania run all over you!”
Okerlund, “The Hulkster is ready!”
Match #3
Hulk Hogan vs. Ted DiBiase w/Virgil
DiBiase, Virgil and referee Earle Hebner wait in the ring we hear,
The Hulkster comes to the ring. DiBiase and Virgil take to the ring, and Hogan tears off his short. The Million Dollar Man returns to the ring. They lock up, and we are underway. Hogan is on fire. He batters DiBiase, and the Million Dollar Man is in full retreat. Ted takes to the floor, and confers with Virgil. He returns and tries to slow down the Hulkster. It works for a time. DiBiase takes Hogan to the mat and wrestles him. Now the former Champion is in control. Hogan is able to fight his way to his feet, and now Hogan is back in control. Hogan goes right after DiBiase. The Texas crowd gets louder, and louder. Suddenly, there is a commotion in the aisle. Andre the Giant is coming to the ring. He climbs into the ring, and attacks Hogan. Virgil joins in, and it’s three on one. DiBiase, and Virgil slam the Hulkster, and Andre bounces off the ropes, and hits a splash. He does this two more times until wrestlers from the back break things up. Medical personnel are in the ring working on Hogan. DiBiase takes the mic.
DiBiase, “I told you I had a big surprise! Meet the ‘Million Dollar Giant’! Hogan, Savage, anyone else, the ‘Million Dollar Man’ is back in control of the WWF!”
Winner-Hulk Hogan (Disqualification)
Vince McMahon, and Jesse Ventura, are in the announce position.
McMahon, “Jesse, the ‘Million Dollar Giant’! That’s what DiBiase was talking about.”
Ventura, “Hahaha! I love it! DiBiase outsmarts everyone! Hogan, and Savage are in big trouble! Look at them helping Hogan out of the ring.”
We see medical personnel helping Hogan to the back. He is holding his ribs.
McMahon, “Things do not look good for the Hulkster.
Match #4
Dino Bravo w/Frenchy Martin vs. David Sammartino
‘Canada’s strongest Man’ takes on a very strong American. Both men exchange power moves. Sammartino gets in a few good shots, but Bravo is able to use the side suplex for the win.
Winner-Dino Bravo
Vince McMahon and Jesse Ventura close the show.
McMahon, “Jesse, I think the face of the WWF was just changed by “The Million Dollar Man” and Andre the Giant!”
Ventura, “If you’re rich, you get what you want!”
McMahon, “That’s right. We are about out of time, join us in September When a new season of ‘Saturday Night’s Main’ event returns to NBC!”
Working on it now.
