It's May 1988, and WM IV is in the books! Randy Savage is reigning World Champion, and Honkytonk Man escaped with the I/C belt. The WWF has decided to add a third singles title, lesser in presteige than the IC belt. To introduce it, they've set up a 16 man tournament to crown the very first WWF TV Champion! Things to keep in mind:
1) Good 'ole Adrian Adonis never died, and decided to re-up with the WWF after his short stint in the AWA
2) Mike Rotunda has come back from the NWA and is debuting in this tournament
3) Jimmy Snuka is back early from his rehab/indy stint
The bracket (unseeded) is as follows:
Brutus Beefcake
Ron Bass
WINNER: Brutus Beefcake
Koko B. Ware
Greg Valentine
WINNER: Greg Valentine
Junkyard Dog
Bad News Brown
WINNER: Junkyard Dog
Don Muraco
Adrian Adonis
WINNER: Don Muraco
Mike Rotunda
Dino Bravo
Bam Bam Bigelow
Hercules
Butch Reed
Jimmy Snuka
Ken Patera
Rick Rude
Matches will happen two at a time in the opening round!
RESULTS
1. Brutus Beeface defeats Ron Bass at 10:37 by rollup, while Bass argues with the referee over certain underhanded tactics that Bass though should be legalized.
2. Greg Valentine beats Koko B. Ware at 9:21 by submission with the Figure Four after Koko misses a top rope drop kick and hurst his knee in the process.
3. Junkyard Dog beats Bad News Brown at 12:19 by pinfall. After BNB hits the ghetti blaster, he is flabergasted that JYD is able to put his foot on the ropes before the three count. As the match continues, BNB perches himself on the second rope and comes off for hard punch to a standing but dazzed JYD. The Dog is able to come to, and catch BNB, muscle him onto his shoulder, and hit the THUMP slam for the pin!
4. Don Muraco beats Adrian Adonis at 13:51 by pinfall. As the match entered the 13 minute mark, Adonis applies the sleeper hold to Muraco in the middle of the ring. Muraco is still mobile and tries to mnuever himself out of the hold. Finally, he is able to get his momentum going towards a corner and ducks sending Adonis head first into a exposed top turnbuckle that Adonis exposed earlier in the match, knocking him out cold.
