Airs-Week of 10/2/88
Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby “The Brain” Heenan open the show.
Monsoon, “Welcome to ‘Wrestling Challenge’! Brain, we have a new partnership, the Hulkster, and the Macho Man!”
Heenan, “It’s that bimbo’s fault! There is no way Savage would hook up with Hogan. Elizabeth is behind all this.”
Monsoon, “Highly unlikely. The Hulkster came to the Champion’s aid, and Randy appreciates that. We will see Hogan, and Savage, team up against a tag team known as the ‘Outlaws’. We will also see the return of Koko B. Ware, and Frankie.”
Heenan, “Is Koko’s brother here tonight?”
Monsoon, “He has a brother?”
Heenan, “Yeah, his name is ‘Tupper’.”
Monsoon, “Will you stop!”
Match #1
Koko B. Ware vs. Barry Horowitz
Plays and the “Birdman” and Frankie come to the ring. Koko is still very popular. Koko starts fast. Horowitz doesn’t know what hit him. He is desperate, and goes to illegal tactics. Koko fights him off, and wins with the ghostbusters.
Winner-Koko B. Ware
Match #2
Rick Rude w/Bobby “The Brain” Heenan vs. Chris Carter
“The Brain” has left the broadcast booth to join the “Ravishing One”. Rude insults the audience, and we are underway. Rude is one of the best in the business, and it shows. He manhandles Carter, and finishes things with the Rude awakening.
Winner-Rick Rude
“Mean” Gene Okerlund is with the Von Erich Brothers.
Okerlund, “With me are, the WWF Tag Team Champions, the Von Erich Brothers. Gentlemen, the Powers of Pain have proven to be a thorn in your side. They got a count out win over you at ‘Saturday Night’s Main Event’.”
Kevin, “They are a powerful, and tough team, you can’t deny that. Throw in Heenan, and they get even tougher. Kerry, and I, are honest, they got the better of us. That won’t happen again. Kerry, and I, want them in the ring again, any time, any place. You won’t take these titles, no way, no how!”
Kerry, “Listen Heenan, your guys won, we can’t hide that, but like Kev said, we won’t let that happen again. Warlord, Barbarian, over our dead bodies! You won’t get these!”
Okerlund, “The Von Erichs vs. the Powers of Pain, it will happen again!”
Match #3
Non-Title Match
The Von Erich Brothers (WWF Tag Team Champions) vs. The Conquistadors
The popular Champions meet the masked men from Latin America. Kerry starts with #2. The masked man tries all his underhanded tactics. Kerry is too powerful, and takes over. He tags in Kevin, and the elder Von Erich goes to work. #2 tags his partner, but he fares no better. Kevin hits the flying bodypress for the win.
Winners-The Von Erich Brothers
Match #4
Jake “The Snake” Roberts vs. The Brooklyn Brawler
Jake is one of the best in the game. He is sharp, and the Brawler is in early trouble. The New Yorker takes Jake’s eyes, and that slows him down. Brawler gets in a few shots, but Jake is too much. He uses a short clothesline, and finishes him with the DDT.
Winner-Jake Roberts
“Mean” Gene Okerlund is with Hulk Hogan. Randy Savage, and Miss Elizabeth.
Okerlund, “The handshake that shook the World! Hulk Hogan, and Randy Savage, on the same side, with the lovely Miss Elizabeth in their corner!”
Hogan, “You know something, ‘Mean’ Gene, I saw the ‘Macho Man’ in trouble! The Multi-Million Dollar Man, and that big, Stinky, Giant, had him two on one! I couldn’t let that happen, the little Hulkster would never forgive me! The Macho Man would do the same for me!”
Savage, “Yes I would, yes I would! The Hulkster helped me, and I would help him! Yes I would! DiBiase, Giant, any place, any time, the Hulkster will be beside me, and we can’t lose! Ohhhhh Yeaaaaa!”
Okerlund, “This is an unstoppable force!”
Match #5
“All American” Ron Simmons vs. Gino Carabello
The former Florida State Football star has been moving quickly up the ladder in the WWF. He goes right after Carabello. Gino doesn’t know what hit him. Simmons overpowers him, and wins with the spear.
Winner-Ron Simmons
Match #6
Hulk Hogan and “Macho Man” Randy Savage w/Miss Elizabeth vs. The Outlaws
The Outlaws, Joel, and David Deaton, are a very rugged team. They wait in the ring with referee Earl Hebner. Down the aisle come the two most popular men in wrestling, lead by the most popular lady in the sport. They enter the ring, and the crowd goes crazy! Savage and Joel Deaton open the contest. The Champion looks very impressive. He works over Deaton, and the “Outlaw” is in trouble. Savage slams him, and tags in the Hulkster. Hogan continues the attack. Joel is able to tag in his brother. Davis fares no better. Hogan hits the big boot, and follows with the leg drop. Hebner counts the fall. What a team! Hogan, Savage, and Elizabeth celebrate in the ring.
Winners-Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage
Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby “The Brain” Heenan close the show.
Monsoon, “What a team! Brain, we just saw history in the making!!”
Heenan, “Don’t jump to conclusions! The Powers of Pain would squash those two in less than five minutes.”
Monsoon, “That would be a great match, let’s get it signed.”
Heenan, “It would take a lot of money, I don’t think Jack Tunney has that much money.”
Monsoon, “That’s what I thought, you’re scared!”
Heenan, “No…”
Monsoon, “That’s all the time we have! Join us next week!”
Working on it now.
