Tony Schiavone: That’s right David! A match that could be a main event anywhere in the country and the biggest match in the history of this television program, The Awesome Twosome, Wahoo McDaniels and the Television Champion Tully Blanchard against The Dream Team, Ricky Steamboat and the World Heavyweight Champion himself, “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair!!
David Crockett: And it’s just two weeks away from Starrcade ’84 where Ricky Steamboat and Wahoo McDaniels will have their Leather Strap Match, and Tully Blanchard will challenge Ric Flair for the World Title and Tony, Tully has already pinned Ric Flair once.
Tony Schiavone: That he did David, although he did have a handful to tights.
Suddenly Tully Blanchard and Wahoo McDaniels appear on set!!
Tully Blanchard: Now wait one second Tony, I am tired, very tired of hearing you and David out here continually make excuses for Ric Flair. Did I or did I not pin him on Thanksgiving?
David: You did.
Tully Blanchard: And did the referee not raise my hand in the air declaring me and Wahoo the winners?
David: He did.
Tully Blanchard: Then that’s the end of the discussion, and it’s going to happen exactly the same way here today. And then at Starrcade history will repeat itself a third time and I will become YOUR World Heavyweight Champion.
Wahoo McDaniels: What my partner says is very true, David you and Tony would be wise to listen to the man and start showing us the respect we deserve because after Starrcade, your heroes, Flair and Steamboat aren’t going to be around anymore. I have been saying it and saying it again, but when 1985 ends, Ricky Steamboat will no longer be in wrestling.
David: Let’s go to the ring.
The Bruisers, Bill White and Ben Alexander, are standing in the ring when Boy From New York City starts to play bringing out “The Boogie Woogie Man” Jimmy Valiant and Dick

(Boogie gets the crowd to start chanting Weasel with him) AND soon, soon daddy YOU ARE GOING TO BE THE NUMBER 1 BALD HEADED GEEK !!!!
Dick Slater: Paul Jones, I am a reasonable man, and when I do things I do them for reasons that are sometimes my own. I returned to Crockett Promotions and the National Wrestling Alliance for one sole reason, and that was to become the World Heavyweight Champion, and that is not a goal I have lost track of, but you Paul Jones have become a distraction for me. I was content with letting you do your thing while I did mine, but you decide to take it upon yourself to interject yourself into my business, well now Paul Jones you are going to pay for it. At Starrcade 84, Christmas Night, Greensboro Coliseum, Jimmy Valiant and Dick Slater are coming for your Army AND FOR YOU!!!

COMMERCIAL BREAK #1
.
.
.
Tony: Fans, as you know last week, Nikita Koloff pulled out of the United States Title match at Starrcade to instead team with his uncle Ivan Koloff to challenge for the World Tag Team Titles, let’s bring in matchmaker Sandy Scott and find out who will be taking Nikita Koloff’s place at Starrcade!
Sandy Scott: Thank you Tony, David. As you and the fans know the NWA Championship Committee has been in meetings day and night debating on who should get this all important title shot. We are committed to bring the fans only the very best. We had many discussions with promoters around the world, we discussed many names like Terry Funk, Austin Idol, Carlos Colon, Dusty Rhodes, Antonio Inoki, Jerry Lawler, Kerry Von Erich and several others but in the end we had to make a decision, and after reviewing the data, watching tape, we decided that the man who should be named the #1 contender to the United States Title, is the man who won the battle royal at Battle Bowl ’84, “The Macho Man” Randy Savage!
Tony Schiavone: What a match that is going to be!!! Now let’s bring in the United States Champion himself, and Manny Fernandez, at Starrcade you have a big challenge in front of you.
Manny Fernandez: Tony, David, the Bull is running wild on the Superstation daddy!!! RANDY SAVAGE! When you wear the United States Title you are under the gun and out on the run, everyone is comin after you, and The Bull likes it like that daddy. At Starrcade Randy Savage you better come ready, you better lace them boots up nice and tight for stepping into that squared circle cause nobody does it better than the Bull daddy. Just remember baby, when the heat is on its cause The Bull turned it on and jacked it ten, and Nikita Koloff, I’m not finished with you either jack!!
Tony: Let’s go to the ring!!
SAM HOUSTON DEF. GARY ROYAL WITH THE BULLDOG
Sam Houston joins Tony and David.
David: We are joined by the young man that is making allot of waves in professional wrestling and who will be facing Jimmy Garvin at Starrcade, Sam Houston!
Sam Houston: How you doing David? I just wanna say thank you all these fans that have been supporting me for the past year, I had a great rookie year and I’m hoping to cap it off with a big win at Starrcade against that ol’ big mouth Jimmy Garvin!!!
That insult brings Jimmy Garvin and Precious out to the interview area!!
Jimmy Garvin: Let me tell you something, LET ME TELL YOU ALL SOMETHING, first of all, Gorgeous J has tackled some pretty big things paly, I beat up Dusty Rhodes, I’ve beaten up all the Von Erich’s including their old daddy, I beat up The Rougeaus up in Ka-na-de-a, I beat up the Briscos, I ain’t afraid of nobody, I’m coming pretty close to beating up a mouthy little announcer David Crockett, I ain’t afraid of nobody and paly I ain’t scared of someone like you Sam Houston. But Squeeze, you see, Squeeze is scared, not for me, no see Squeeze has a big heart ya know and she looks at a snot nosed punk like you Sam Houston and she’s begging me “Please Jimmy, please don’t hurt that kid!!! You’re gonna make his momma cry!!” Now I don’t wanna see no big fat cow of a woman crying, but I ain’t never backed down from a match and I ain’t about to do it just cause Squeeze don’t want me to upset someone’s mamma. But let me tell ya something, Squeeze, ya know Squeeze got her womanly ways you know and so I’m going to give you a chance here Sam Houston. I’m gonna give you a chance to save some face, to keep your big fat ol’ mamma from crying, from keeping your drunk daddy from going on another drinking binge, from making your toothless cow of a sister depressed and giving your old blue haired wrinkled up grandmother a heart attack. What I got here is a piece of paper that when you sign it, it’ll cancel our match at Starrcade, and it’ll keep me from having to beat you up real bad. So here you go, go ahead and sign this and everything’ll be alright!!
David: Sam, you shouldn’t sign this, he is just…….SCARED!!! Jimmy Garvin is scared of you!!! He knows you can beat him!!!
Jimmy Garvin: David Crockett why don’t you just shut up!!! I am so sick and tired of hearing your mouth every week that once Sam Houston signs this I might try and get you in the ring. Anybody got a pen???
Tony: I do.
Jimmy Garvin (taking the pen): Well thank you Tony, THANK YOU, I’m glad to see there is one announcer out here that’s a PROFESSIONAL!!! Here ya go Sam Houston, here ya go, now just sign right there, don’t worry if you can’t write you name, just make an X, you know what an X looks like right? That’ll be OK an X will work just as well, so go ahead and make that X right there.
Sam Houston takes the paper out of Jimmy Garvin’s hands but instead of signing it, HE RIPS IT UP!!!
Sam Houston: Jimmy Garvin, I ain’t gonna sign that paper, and you best stop talking about my family before I take this paper and SHOVE IT DOWN YER THROAT!!!!!
Houston then leaves a slack jawed and shocked Jimmy Garvin and Precious standing with David Crockett!!!
David: You aren’t going to get out the match that easy Jimmy!!
Jimmy Garvin: What an ungrateful, Squeeze, I tried I really tried, but it’s not my fault, at Starrcade I’m gonna have to beat that boy pretty bad Squeeze, he’s making me do it. And David Crockett you are going to keep running your mouth paly and I’m going to have to shut it. Come on Squeeze the company here is the WORST!!!!
David: Don’t go away, Nikita Koloff will be in action when we come back!!!

NIKITA KOLOFF W/IVAN KOLOFF DEFEATS GENE LIGON WITH THE RUSSIAN SICKLE
Tony: Alright I am joined by the team that will face The Youngbloods for the NWA World Tag Team Titles at Starrcade, Ivan and Nikita Koloff, and Ivan I can’t help but notice that Don Kerndole isn’t out here with you, and he didn’t seem very pleased last week at the announcement you made that he was being replaced in the match at Starrcade by Nikita.
Ivan Koloff: Tony Schiavone, Comrade Kerndole knows what is best for the team, he knows what his place is and he knows what I says goes. He may have been upset about being out of the match, but what competitor wouldn’t be upset about being taken out of a match? It is just misunderstanding.
Don Kerndole makes his way out to the area.
Don Kerndole: Hey, what’s going on here, I didn’t know there was a match or interview today!
Tony: Another misunderstanding?
Ivan Koloff: Tony Schiavone, you are like all Americans you are trying to stir the pot as you say, trying to cause trouble with Ivan Koloff and Comrade Kerndole but there is no trouble, no problems, Nephew Nikita, Comrade Kerndole and Ivan Koloff are strong team.
Kerndole doesn’t look so sure about all this.
Don Kerndole: Ya know Ivan, the whole team thing, I can get behind that and all, but I still ain’t too happy that I won’t be getting a chance to wrassle them injuns again.
Ivan Koloff: But you will Comrade Kerndole, next week here on Superstation. I have signed you in a match with Jay Youngblood, and Comrade Kerndole you have one goal for this match, eliminate Jay Youngblood!
Don Kerndole: You know I will Ivan, Jay Youngblood, next week boy I am gonna show you what’s what here on the Superstation when I pin you right there in that ring!!!
Ivan Koloff: No, no Comrade, you misunderstand, I do not care if you win or lose, that is not important. Next week you will ELIMINATE Jay Youngblood for the good of the team.
Ivan and Nikita leave Kerndole looking confused, he soon follows behind trying to figure out what is going on.
Tony: Let’s go to the ring!
KENDELL WINDHAM W/NELSON ROYAL DEFEATS THE RED SHADOW WITH A SUNSET FLIP!!
Tony: Big win for Kendell Windham who we just learned will face the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion Tiger Mask at Starrcade! All the big stars are making their way to Starrcade 84!!! Don’t go away, we’ll talk to The Dream Team NEXT!!!
.

COMMERCIAL BREAK #3
.
.
.
.
Tony Schiavone: We have been joined by The Dream Team!!! Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat and the World Heavyweight Champion, “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair!
Ricky Steamboat: You know something Tony Schiavone, week in and week out I sit back there and I listen to the Television Champion Tully Blanchard, I listen to Chief Wahoo McDaniels talk about their tainted victories, talk about the things they are going to do and it turns my stomach that two men with the talent that they possess have resorted to threats, dirty tricks and cheap shots. Wahoo himself has gone from a great man and friend to something lower than a snake!!! You have been telling everyone Wahoo that I will be out of wrestling in 1985, well I hate to disappoint you, but I am not going anywhere, and at Starrcade I am going to beat you in the Indian Strap Match, just like the Champ and I will beat you and Tully later on this program!
Ric Flair: WOOOOOOOO! Tony!!! DAVID!!! THE NATURE BOY AND THE DRAGON ARE ON THE SUPERSTATION!!! Now I have a tendency to come out here and start hollering but let’s just tone this down a little bit. In this great sport of professional wrestling it doesn’t take long for the cream to rise to the top, for the best to separate themselves from the rest, and what you see before you are two of the best EVER!!! And that’s not taking anything away from Wahoo McDaniels, he has been great his entire career, that doesn’t take anything away from Tully Blanchard, he has been the Television Champion for close to a year, comes from a great wrestling family, he is great. Being a professional wrestler is one of the most grueling professions you can be in, I’ve been stabbed, I’ve been hit with chairs, I’ve broken my back, I’ve bleed and sweated and paid the price to walk that aisle and call myself the Man. Now Tully Blanchard, you want to take the World Heavyweight Championship away from me, you want to be the Man. Well pal, at Starrcade YOU GET YOUR CHANCE. So you better take your best shot!!! Now today Tony and David, today, Steamboat and I are going to climb in that ring and face the Gruesome Twosome one more time and try and get a little payback for what happened on Thanksgiving Night. Blanchard, McDaniels, get ready because the Dream Team is coming daddy, and we’re ready to go ALL-NIGHT-LONG!!!! WOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Tony: Let’s go to the ring!!!
”MACHO MAN” RANDY SAVAGE W/ FRANK DUSEK DEFEATS LARRY HAMILTON WITH AN ELBOW DROP OFF THE TOP ROPE.
David: We have been joined by the man who will face Manny Fernandez for the US Title at Starrcade, “The Macho Man” Randy Savage!
Randy Savage: Talkin about history, talkin about history, yeah. There is one date, one date that is going to go down in history as one of the most important dates of all time. December 25, 1984, do you know what happens on that date David Crockett?
David Crockett: That’s the date of Starrcade 84!
Randy Savage: That’s right and that’s when “The Macho Man” wins the United States Championship, yeah. Listen very closely David Crockett, listen and look very closely cause you don’t want to miss it, yeah, you don’t want to miss a thing. Macho Madness is growing, growing, growing, it’s more seductive, more addictive then SEX, yeah!!! Right at this particular moment all want all those people out there to look at their TV cause the Macho Man is starring back at you through the videoscope and coming to you live and in techno color with a promise, yeah, a guarantee, dig it! On December 25, 1984 at Starrcade in the Greensboro Coliseum, “The Macho Man” Randy Savage is going to take the United States Championship from “The Ragin Bull” Manny Fernandez and the spotlight is going to come on, on top of me, yeah. Manny Fernandez, too bad, you might be a good wrestler Manny Fernandez, you might be one of the best, but we’re talkin bout history here and you’re just gonna be a footnote in history while The Macho Man is gonna be remember in history as the greatest star that ever lived, DIG IT!!!!
David: When we come back, the rematch!! The Dream Team and the Awesome Twoesome!!! DON’T GO AWAY!!!

COMMERCIAL BREAK #4

Young is able to get one man from each side in the ring when we come back from the break and the match officially begins, Steamboat starts for his side, Blanchard for his. They lock up and Steamboat uses his speed to get around and waist lock Blanchard, but Blanchard reverses, Blanchard brings Steamboat to the mat, Steamboat and Tully do some mat wrestling until they roll into the ropes forcing a break. Back to their feet, they lock up again and Blanchard grabs a wrist lock and turns it into an arm wringer. He focusing on Dragon's arm, and putting enough pressure on it Steamboat has gone down to one knee, Steamboat finally drops to his back and is able to kick Blanchard off of him, Dragon is shaking his arm, trying to get the blood moving again, Blanchard goes for a tie up and forces Dragon back into the ropes, Young calls for the break, but Blanchard instead gives Steamboat a knee to the gut, he then whips Steamboat to the opposite side, he tries for a clothesline but Steamboat ducks, Blanchard turns around and Steamboat bounces off the ropes with a cross body block. He crashes into Blanchard and tries to hang on for a pin but only gets a one count.
Steamboat moves away and Blanchard gets to his feet both men stare at each other, trying to figure out what to do next, they lock up and Blanchard backs Steamboat into the corner, he then tries to knock Steamboat with a right but Dragon uses his speed and gets out of the corner causing Blanchard’s fist to get nothing but turnbuckle, Blanchard spins around and goes after Steamboat hooking up with him again and pushing him back into the opposite corner, Blanchard tries to punch Steamboat again, but like last time Steamboat moves and Blanchard connects with nothing but turnbuckle, only this time Steamboat gets a punch in himself. Now Blanchard is steaming he turns and rushes Dragon, who leap frogs Blanchard. Blanchard bounces off the ropes and Steamboat drops down, Blanchard jumps over Dragon's body, Steamboat is back up but what he doesn't realize is that on Blanchard's last rebound Wahoo got a blind tag in and Wahoo clotheslines him from behind knocking him to the mat, and Blanchard drops an elbow.
Wahoo gets Steamboat to his feet and hits him with a vertical suplex, that gets a two count, Steamboat is sitting up trying to find the strength to get to his corner and tag in Flair. Wahoo stops him and locks in a headlock. Dragon is struggling and Wahoo is grinding it in,
Tony: We have to take a commercial break, the cameras are rolling so if there is a decision we’ll show it to you on instant replay, if not we’ll be right back!!!!

Steamboat is slowly fighting to his feet as we return from the break!!! He elbows Wahoo in the gut three times and breaks away but when he tries to run to the ropes Wahoo grabs him by the hair and pulls him back into the headlock. The fans are yelling and Young asks Wahoo if he grabbed the hair which of course Wahoo denies, Steamboat is trying to fight out again, so Wahoo gets Steamboat into the corner and keeps the headlock on while Blanchard tags himself in.
Blanchard gets in the ring and take a shot at Dragon's exposed side. Wahoo then let’s go and Blanchard whips Steamboat into the ropes and hits a clothesline!!!!!Blanchard starts directing his assault toward Dragon's back. He whips Dragon into the corner hard. He follows it up with a clothesline and tags out to Wahoo who slams Steamboat out of the corner. Wahoo then picks Steamboat up and locks on a bear hug!!!!! Young is asking Steamboat if he wants to give it up but Steamboat refuses. Wahoo lets go of this move after a few minutes and gets Steamboat to his feet only to hit him with a scoop slam, a pin attempt only get 2, and the crowd is coming alive, getting behind Steamboat trying to will him to the tag, Wahoo keeps pounding on Dragon, he gets Dragon to his feet and Irish whips him and goes for a back elbow but Steamboat ducks rebounds and both men hit each other with a clothesline!!!!!!!!!

We had many discussions with promoters around the world, we discussed many names like Terry Funk, Austin Idol, Carlos Colon, Dusty Rhodes, Antonio Inoki, Jerry Lawler, Kerry Von Erich and several others but in the end we had to make a decision, and after reviewing the data, watching tape, we decided that the man who should be named the #1 contender to the United States Title, is the man who won the battle royal at Battle Bowl ’84, “The Macho Man” Randy Savage!
Tony Schiavone: What a match that is going to be!!! Now let’s bring in the United States Champion himself, and Manny Fernandez, at Starrcade you have a big challenge in front of you.
Manny Fernandez: Tony, David, the Bull is running wild on the Superstation daddy!!! RANDY SAVAGE! When you wear the United States Title you are under the gun and out on the run, everyone is comin after you, and The Bull likes it like that daddy. At Starrcade Randy Savage you better come ready, you better lace them boots up nice and tight for stepping into that squared circle cause nobody does it better than the Bull daddy. Just remember baby, when the heat is on its cause The Bull turned it on and jacked it ten, and Nikita Koloff, I’m not finished with you either jack!!
Tony: Let’s go to the ring!!
SAM HOUSTON DEF. GARY ROYAL WITH THE BULLDOG
Sam Houston joins Tony and David.
David: We are joined by the young man that is making allot of waves in professional wrestling and who will be facing Jimmy Garvin at Starrcade, Sam Houston!
Sam Houston: How you doing David? I just wanna say thank you all these fans that have been supporting me for the past year, I had a great rookie year and I’m hoping to cap it off with a big win at Starrcade against that ol’ big mouth Jimmy Garvin!!!
That insult brings Jimmy Garvin and Precious out to the interview area!!
Jimmy Garvin: Let me tell you something, LET ME TELL YOU ALL SOMETHING, first of all, Gorgeous J has tackled some pretty big things paly, I beat up Dusty Rhodes, I’ve beaten up all the Von Erich’s including their old daddy, I beat up The Rougeaus up in Ka-na-de-a, I beat up the Briscos, I ain’t afraid of nobody, I’m coming pretty close to beating up a mouthy little announcer David Crockett, I ain’t afraid of nobody and paly I ain’t scared of someone like you Sam Houston. But Squeeze, you see, Squeeze is scared, not for me, no see Squeeze has a big heart ya know and she looks at a snot nosed punk like you Sam Houston and she’s begging me “Please Jimmy, please don’t hurt that kid!!! You’re gonna make his momma cry!!” Now I don’t wanna see no big fat cow of a woman crying, but I ain’t never backed down from a match and I ain’t about to do it just cause Squeeze don’t want me to upset someone’s mamma. But let me tell ya something, Squeeze, ya know Squeeze got her womanly ways you know and so I’m going to give you a chance here Sam Houston. I’m gonna give you a chance to save some face, to keep your big fat ol’ mamma from crying, from keeping your drunk daddy from going on another drinking binge, from making your toothless cow of a sister depressed and giving your old blue haired wrinkled up grandmother a heart attack. What I got here is a piece of paper that when you sign it, it’ll cancel our match at Starrcade, and it’ll keep me from having to beat you up real bad. So here you go, go ahead and sign this and everything’ll be alright!!
David: Sam, you shouldn’t sign this, he is just…….SCARED!!! Jimmy Garvin is scared of you!!! He knows you can beat him!!!
Jimmy Garvin: David Crockett why don’t you just shut up!!! I am so sick and tired of hearing your mouth every week that once Sam Houston signs this I might try and get you in the ring. Anybody got a pen???
Tony: I do.
Jimmy Garvin (taking the pen): Well thank you Tony, THANK YOU, I’m glad to see there is one announcer out here that’s a PROFESSIONAL!!! Here ya go Sam Houston, here ya go, now just sign right there, don’t worry if you can’t write you name, just make an X, you know what an X looks like right? That’ll be OK an X will work just as well, so go ahead and make that X right there.
Sam Houston takes the paper out of Jimmy Garvin’s hands but instead of signing it, HE RIPS IT UP!!!
Sam Houston: Jimmy Garvin, I ain’t gonna sign that paper, and you best stop talking about my family before I take this paper and SHOVE IT DOWN YER THROAT!!!!!
Houston then leaves a slack jawed and shocked Jimmy Garvin and Precious standing with David Crockett!!!
David: You aren’t going to get out the match that easy Jimmy!!
Jimmy Garvin: What an ungrateful, Squeeze, I tried I really tried, but it’s not my fault, at Starrcade I’m gonna have to beat that boy pretty bad Squeeze, he’s making me do it. And David Crockett you are going to keep running your mouth paly and I’m going to have to shut it. Come on Squeeze the company here is the WORST!!!!
David: Don’t go away, Nikita Koloff will be in action when we come back!!!

NIKITA KOLOFF W/IVAN KOLOFF DEFEATS GENE LIGON WITH THE RUSSIAN SICKLE
Tony: Alright I am joined by the team that will face The Youngbloods for the NWA World Tag Team Titles at Starrcade, Ivan and Nikita Koloff, and Ivan I can’t help but notice that Don Kerndole isn’t out here with you, and he didn’t seem very pleased last week at the announcement you made that he was being replaced in the match at Starrcade by Nikita.
Ivan Koloff: Tony Schiavone, Comrade Kerndole knows what is best for the team, he knows what his place is and he knows what I says goes. He may have been upset about being out of the match, but what competitor wouldn’t be upset about being taken out of a match? It is just misunderstanding.
Don Kerndole makes his way out to the area.
Don Kerndole: Hey, what’s going on here, I didn’t know there was a match or interview today!
Tony: Another misunderstanding?
Ivan Koloff: Tony Schiavone, you are like all Americans you are trying to stir the pot as you say, trying to cause trouble with Ivan Koloff and Comrade Kerndole but there is no trouble, no problems, Nephew Nikita, Comrade Kerndole and Ivan Koloff are strong team.
Kerndole doesn’t look so sure about all this.
Don Kerndole: Ya know Ivan, the whole team thing, I can get behind that and all, but I still ain’t too happy that I won’t be getting a chance to wrassle them injuns again.
Ivan Koloff: But you will Comrade Kerndole, next week here on Superstation. I have signed you in a match with Jay Youngblood, and Comrade Kerndole you have one goal for this match, eliminate Jay Youngblood!
Don Kerndole: You know I will Ivan, Jay Youngblood, next week boy I am gonna show you what’s what here on the Superstation when I pin you right there in that ring!!!
Ivan Koloff: No, no Comrade, you misunderstand, I do not care if you win or lose, that is not important. Next week you will ELIMINATE Jay Youngblood for the good of the team.
Ivan and Nikita leave Kerndole looking confused, he soon follows behind trying to figure out what is going on.
Tony: Let’s go to the ring!
KENDELL WINDHAM W/NELSON ROYAL DEFEATS THE RED SHADOW WITH A SUNSET FLIP!!
Tony: Big win for Kendell Windham who we just learned will face the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion Tiger Mask at Starrcade! All the big stars are making their way to Starrcade 84!!! Don’t go away, we’ll talk to The Dream Team NEXT!!!

COMMERCIAL BREAK #3

Tony Schiavone: We have been joined by The Dream Team!!! Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat and the World Heavyweight Champion, “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair!
Ricky Steamboat: You know something Tony Schiavone, week in and week out I sit back there and I listen to the Television Champion Tully Blanchard, I listen to Chief Wahoo McDaniels talk about their tainted victories, talk about the things they are going to do and it turns my stomach that two men with the talent that they possess have resorted to threats, dirty tricks and cheap shots. Wahoo himself has gone from a great man and friend to something lower than a snake!!! You have been telling everyone Wahoo that I will be out of wrestling in 1985, well I hate to disappoint you, but I am not going anywhere, and at Starrcade I am going to beat you in the Indian Strap Match, just like the Champ and I will beat you and Tully later on this program!
Ric Flair: WOOOOOOOO! Tony!!! DAVID!!! THE NATURE BOY AND THE DRAGON ARE ON THE SUPERSTATION!!! Now I have a tendency to come out here and start hollering but let’s just tone this down a little bit. In this great sport of professional wrestling it doesn’t take long for the cream to rise to the top, for the best to separate themselves from the rest, and what you see before you are two of the best EVER!!! And that’s not taking anything away from Wahoo McDaniels, he has been great his entire career, that doesn’t take anything away from Tully Blanchard, he has been the Television Champion for close to a year, comes from a great wrestling family, he is great. Being a professional wrestler is one of the most grueling professions you can be in, I’ve been stabbed, I’ve been hit with chairs, I’ve broken my back, I’ve bleed and sweated and paid the price to walk that aisle and call myself the Man. Now Tully Blanchard, you want to take the World Heavyweight Championship away from me, you want to be the Man. Well pal, at Starrcade YOU GET YOUR CHANCE. So you better take your best shot!!! Now today Tony and David, today, Steamboat and I are going to climb in that ring and face the Gruesome Twosome one more time and try and get a little payback for what happened on Thanksgiving Night. Blanchard, McDaniels, get ready because the Dream Team is coming daddy, and we’re ready to go ALL-NIGHT-LONG!!!! WOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Tony: Let’s go to the ring!!!
”MACHO MAN” RANDY SAVAGE W/ FRANK DUSEK DEFEATS LARRY HAMILTON WITH AN ELBOW DROP OFF THE TOP ROPE.
David: We have been joined by the man who will face Manny Fernandez for the US Title at Starrcade, “The Macho Man” Randy Savage!
Randy Savage: Talkin about history, talkin about history, yeah. There is one date, one date that is going to go down in history as one of the most important dates of all time. December 25, 1984, do you know what happens on that date David Crockett?
David Crockett: That’s the date of Starrcade 84!
Randy Savage: That’s right and that’s when “The Macho Man” wins the United States Championship, yeah. Listen very closely David Crockett, listen and look very closely cause you don’t want to miss it, yeah, you don’t want to miss a thing. Macho Madness is growing, growing, growing, it’s more seductive, more addictive then SEX, yeah!!! Right at this particular moment all want all those people out there to look at their TV cause the Macho Man is starring back at you through the videoscope and coming to you live and in techno color with a promise, yeah, a guarantee, dig it! On December 25, 1984 at Starrcade in the Greensboro Coliseum, “The Macho Man” Randy Savage is going to take the United States Championship from “The Ragin Bull” Manny Fernandez and the spotlight is going to come on, on top of me, yeah. Manny Fernandez, too bad, you might be a good wrestler Manny Fernandez, you might be one of the best, but we’re talkin bout history here and you’re just gonna be a footnote in history while The Macho Man is gonna be remember in history as the greatest star that ever lived, DIG IT!!!!
David: When we come back, the rematch!! The Dream Team and the Awesome Twoesome!!! DON’T GO AWAY!!!

VS.
RICKY “THE DRAGON” STEAMBOAT & WORLD CHAMPION “THE NATURE BOY” RIC FLAIR
Young is able to get one man from each side in the ring when we come back from the break and the match officially begins, Steamboat starts for his side, Blanchard for his. They lock up and Steamboat uses his speed to get around and waist lock Blanchard, but Blanchard reverses, Blanchard brings Steamboat to the mat, Steamboat and Tully do some mat wrestling until they roll into the ropes forcing a break. Back to their feet, they lock up again and Blanchard grabs a wrist lock and turns it into an arm wringer. He focusing on Dragon's arm, and putting enough pressure on it Steamboat has gone down to one knee, Steamboat finally drops to his back and is able to kick Blanchard off of him, Dragon is shaking his arm, trying to get the blood moving again, Blanchard goes for a tie up and forces Dragon back into the ropes, Young calls for the break, but Blanchard instead gives Steamboat a knee to the gut, he then whips Steamboat to the opposite side, he tries for a clothesline but Steamboat ducks, Blanchard turns around and Steamboat bounces off the ropes with a cross body block. He crashes into Blanchard and tries to hang on for a pin but only gets a one count.
Steamboat moves away and Blanchard gets to his feet both men stare at each other, trying to figure out what to do next, they lock up and Blanchard backs Steamboat into the corner, he then tries to knock Steamboat with a right but Dragon uses his speed and gets out of the corner causing Blanchard’s fist to get nothing but turnbuckle, Blanchard spins around and goes after Steamboat hooking up with him again and pushing him back into the opposite corner, Blanchard tries to punch Steamboat again, but like last time Steamboat moves and Blanchard connects with nothing but turnbuckle, only this time Steamboat gets a punch in himself. Now Blanchard is steaming he turns and rushes Dragon, who leap frogs Blanchard. Blanchard bounces off the ropes and Steamboat drops down, Blanchard jumps over Dragon's body, Steamboat is back up but what he doesn't realize is that on Blanchard's last rebound Wahoo got a blind tag in and Wahoo clotheslines him from behind knocking him to the mat, and Blanchard drops an elbow.
Wahoo gets Steamboat to his feet and hits him with a vertical suplex, that gets a two count, Steamboat is sitting up trying to find the strength to get to his corner and tag in Flair. Wahoo stops him and locks in a headlock. Dragon is struggling and Wahoo is grinding it in,
