Week 16 1984
A New Challenger Steps Up [/color][/size] Now that Jimmy Snuka has defeated Big John Studd it is time for another challenger to step up to the plate for Snuka’s WWF Title. That man is none other than Greg “The Hammer” Valentine. Valentine picked up a victory on Championship Wrestling and demanded Gene Okerlund get in the ring and interview him. Valentine said that he is the most talented wrestler in the world and it’s a crime that he hasn’t been WWF champion. He said he was officially laying down the challenge to Snuka and he was going to get what has long been coming to him. He then proceeded to beat up his poor opponent some more and applied the figure four again. He said he was going to keep punishing poor souls like this and wasn’t going to stop until he gets his title match. He didn’t have to wait long though as Snuka accepted his challenge later in the night. Snuka said that Valentine has caught his attention, he said he puts his blood, sweat and tears into this and he is willing to take on everyone. He said with the millions of people supporting it gives him all the inspiration to unleash the Superfly and make sure he keeps what he’s worked his whole life for. Orndorff & Backlund set to do battle Next Week! [/color][/size] Bob Backlund returned to the ring for the first time since he was taken out by Paul Orndorff. Backlund picked up a victory and was celebrating in the ring. Paul Orndorff was then interviewed by Vince McMahon. Orndorff said that if Backlund thought what happened to him last time was bad wait for what happens when he gets his hands on him for costing him the Intercontinental Championship. Orndorff said that Backlund was nothing but jealous and intimidated by him. He said he couldn’t blame him since he looked like his body was carved by the gods and Backlund looked like a prepubescent boy, he said Backlunds mother probably had a photo stashed away of Mr Wonderful and that’s why Backlund felt it necessary to interfere in his business. He said he’s going to make Backlund pay and put him out for action for good this time. All the while Backlund was still in the ring begging Orndorff to get in the ring with him. Backlund then grabbed a microphone and told Orndorff to put up or shut up and meet him in the ring. It was then announced later on the show that Paul Orndorff would be taking on Bob Backlund next week on Championship Wrestling. Pipers Pit with The Iron Sheik [/color][/size] The Iron Sheik and his manager Freddie Blassie were the guests on Pipers Pit this week. Sheik said that he was glad to be on Pipers Pit. Piper began to talk about Sgt Slaughter, Sheik responded that Slaughter was like all the other American stooges, he was a pathetic, out of control loser who is second rate compared to the great Iranians. Blassie said that his client would no longer be facing Sgt Slaughter again after what he pulled in Madison Square Garden, he said his clients safety is at risk with Slaughter and Sheik has already proven he is better than him as he was dominating him when Slaughter took the cheap way out. He said Sheik won the match and will have no more of Sgt Slaughter. Sheik then told Piper that Iran and Scotland are number one and USA is number zero hack thoo. Piper said he couldn’t agree more and how he thought The Iron Sheik should still be WWF Champion and how he might have to go to Iran himself and train because the USA doesn’t have anything quality about it and it’s worked so well for Sheik. Blassie told Piper he’s doing pretty good for himself and thanks Piper for allowing him to be on his show. The Ladies of Wrestling return to the Garden [/color][/size] The ladies of the World Wrestling Federation will return to Madison Square Garden on May 21st as Wendi Richter will take on long time rival Velvet McIntyre. Richter & McIntyre have been battling for a long time now and they’ll go at it once more in Madison Square Garden. Women’s world champion The Fabulous Moolah will also be attendance perhaps to cheer on her protégé Richter. Wendi Richter gave an interview where she said that McIntyre is always a tough opponent, but she’s been training hard and can’t wait to get back in front of the WWF crowd and show that she can beat anyone and is looking to become Ladies Champion. Tag Teams want those titles [/color][/size] Added to the Madison Square Garden show on 5/21 will be a tag team championship bout where Roddy Piper & David Schultz will defend their titles against former tag champions and recent Piper & Schultz’ nemesis’ Ivan Putski & Tito Santana. Piper & Schultz also have a lot of other challengers for their titles it appears. On Championship Wrestling Piper & Schultz squared off against Tony Garea & Eddie Gilbert in a non-title bout. The match ended up breaking up into mayhem as both teams began brawling ignoring the referees instructions, after the match was called Piper & Schultz got out of harms way and began shouting at Garea & Gilbert. Like father, like son (in-law)[/color][/size] Back in 1977 when Superstar Billy Graham was WWF Champion he engaged in a famous heated rivalry with High Chief Peter Maivia which involved Graham breaking Maivia’s prized ukulele over his head. 7 years later and Graham has returned to the WWF and he will be taking on the son-in-law of Maivia in Rocky Johnson in Madison Square Garden. Oakland Coliseum [/color][/size] Big John Studd has been on a roll this year in big money battle royals. In the WWF’s first trip to Oakland that continued as he won a $40,000 battle royal eliminating WWF Intercontinental Champion Tito Santana to pick up the win. Other notable occurrences in the battle royal included Sgt Slaughter eliminating both himself and The Iron Sheik, the two men continued to brawl on the outside before being restrained by a lot of individuals. Chavo Guerrero who has made a name for himself in California winning title after title in the area also competed in the battle royal lasting until the final four, he picked up a win earlier in the night. Pat Patterson also had a good night in a return to the place where he got his break, winning a match and lasting until the final three in the battle royal. Sgt Slaughter took on The Iron Sheik, a match which Sheik’s manager Freddie Blassie tried to get scrapped but was unsuccessful because the contracts had been signed. The two men fought a bloody and vicious bout, with little technical wrestling as the two just brawled, eventually the match was thrown out when chaos ensued as chairs were thrown in the ring, belts where taken off to be used as weapons and referees were shoved down, this rivalry certainly not being over. Tito Santana and Roddy Piper & David Schultz also successfully defended their titles. WWF Wrestlers Overseas [/color][/size] Andre the Giant, Don Muraco, Iron Mike Sharpe & The British Bulldogs are currently doing a tour of Japan for NJPW. These five will not be appearing regularly on WWF events this month. Tony Atlas is also taking roughly a month off to let some nagging injuries heal. Final Kiel Build [/color][/size] The Kiel Auditorium show is next week with Jimmy Snuka & Big John Studd squaring off in a steel cage. Studd told Snuka he has him where he wants him now and Snuka has nowhere to run, he said he’s going to get a hold of Snuka and use that cage to mangle Snuka’s body before strapping on 20 pounds of gold around this gigantic waist. Snuka said he knows what it’s like to be in a cage, it’s a barbaric structure and he’s made history inside a cage. He said he knows to let his wild side out in a cage and told Studd that there would be blood and broken bones but only he would be walking out of that cage with this title. Sgt Slaughter would also be taking on The Iron Sheik, Freddie Blassie spoke about how it was a crime that this match hadn’t been cancelled as Slaughter is a maniac but Sheik will prove just how great he is and why Iran is number one. Slaughter said that every time he gets his hands on Sheik he smiles, every punch he hits on Sheik is for a fallen brother, he said he’s going to lock in the Cobra Clutch and teach him about the 3 greatest letters in the dictionary USA. Also on the card is Roddy Piper & David Schultz taking on Ivan Putski & Tito Santana for the tag titles as well as ResultsOakland Coliseum Big John Studd won an 18 man $40,000 battle royal last eliminating Tito Santana Chavo Guerrero defeated Tony Garea B.

WWF Week 14, 1984...I like the new setup now. Did like the presentation of it, and it really covers what looks like a weekly WWF Magazine column format. The Iron Sheik and Sgt Slaughter engaging in another rivalry sure sounds like it could be fun. I am looking forward to seeing this match at Madison Square Garden. Jimmy Snuka and Big John Studd going at it in the cage for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship sounds like fun for the next big show in St Louis, but there's no way Snuka is losing the title this soon. A big threat, is Studd however. Brian Blair getting the blue chipper rookie gimmick for surviving Greg Valentine is actually a really good idea, I like it. Tito Santana potentially starting a feud with Roddy Piper sounds fantastic, just as long as Piper doesn't take the WWF Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship this soon. But then again, I also liked Brian Blair getting an "initiation" of sorts from Piper and David Schultz. I loved the amateur wrestling spot, so very well done. I could possibly see Roddy Piper and David Schultz taking the WWF World Tag Team Championships from Rocky Johnson and Tony Atlas really. On Championship Wrestling? Such a strange place to hold this match. Could be an unexpected title change however. Paul Orndorff and Greg Valentine sounds like a great tag team combination honestly. Don Muraco and Mil Mascaras sounds sort of weird of a match to be honest. Jimmy Snuka and David Schultz could be fun.
WWF @ Kiel Auditorium: Friday 6th April 1984: Sgt Slaughter beating Alexis Smirnoff was what it was, didn't do too much for me really. Pure filler and crowd-pleasing for Slaughter to the St Louis crowd. Bob Orton Jr beating Eddie Gillbert sounded like it'd be a good match, but again, just a way to get heat on Orton Jr. Predicted Rocky Johnson and Tony Atlas beating Dick Murdoch and Iron Mike Sharpe, what I didn't like though was that it didn't exactly say that this was for the WWF World Tag Team Championships. You should note those parts out. Glad you went for the substitute idea. Roddy Piper beating Ivan Putski was fine, liked the cheap win for Piper for sure. Jimmy Snuka and Big John Studd brawling to a double count out should surely set up their next encounter in a few weeks, once again at the Kiel Auditorium, no doubt. The ending set up their steel cage encounter for the unmentioned WWF World Heavyweight Championship in a few weeks time. Greg Valentine beating Special Delivery Jones did the job, that's all there is I can say. Tito Santana and David Schultz seemingly stole the show in my eyes, a great effort for the WWF Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship, and I loved Roddy Piper saving Schultz from a clean loss. Andre the Giant beating the Iron Sheik and Freddie Blassie was a great choice for the main event, as André winning was the crowd pleasing win everyone has been waiting for to close out the show. A decent show, I'd work on the "Big Event" format though.

WWF 1984 Week 17Orndorff outsmarts BacklundBob Backlund was out in the ring awaiting Paul Orndorff for their long awaited contest. Orndorff came out but with a cast on his right hand saying he injured it lifting weights and couldn’t wrestle tonight. Backlund looked disappointed and asked Orndorff when he was going to back up all the trash talk. Backlund began rallying the crowd and as he went to hand the microphone back to the announcer Orndorff jumped in the ring and struck Backlund in the back of the head with his cast. He then took it off and began laying shots into Backlund on the ground, eventually he was restrained by several people. Backlund finally came to and began shouting at Orndorff to get back here and fight like a man. Both men broke free of the grips and began brawling again before being restrained again. These two will meet again at Madison Square Garden on the 21st. Valentine vows to break Snuka’s legGreg Valentine was interviewed regarding his world title opportunity. He said he had this one in the bag, he said he was superior to Snuka in every way imaginable. He told Snuka that once he locks in that Figure Four it’s all over. He said he’ll lock in that Figure Four and break Snuka’s leg to take what has long eluded him. Jimmy Snuka responded by telling Valentine that he would have to do more than break his leg if he was going to make him quit, he said even if he broke every bone in his body he’d keep coming at Valentine in order to keep this title. Valentine defeated Salvatore Bellomo in the feature bout and perhaps to make a point out of the danger of his figure four he reapplied the hold after he picked up the win. Eventually he was restrained but Bellomo was unable to stand up and had to be helped to the back screaming in agony over his leg. Pipers Pit with Tito Santana & Ivan PutskiPiper & Schultz’ opponents at Madison Square Garden Tito Santana and Ivan Putski were the guests on Pipers Pit on Championship Wrestling this week. Piper said that these two didn’t show any intelligence when they were on this show as individuals so he didn’t expect much from them as a team. He then began to tell Santana & Putski that they had no shot in hell of beating the most intelligent, toughest and talented tag team on the planet. Santana retorted by saying he found it funny to use intelligent describing someone like Schultz, who obviously had a few screws loose. Schultz took offense to this and got up in Santana’s face but had to be restrained by Piper. Santana said he thought they’d be fine against these two as they had been teaming together for 3 years and were former tag team champions and they’d be more than happy to take them again. Piper saw an opportunity and decided to try and create some dissention between Santana & Schultz by mentioning that since Santana is somehow Intercontinental Champion if they were to make the 1 in 1000 shot and manage to beat them that Santana would have to drop the Tag Team Titles and where does that leave Putski. Putski responded by saying that he was happy for Santana’s success and he said it’s worth it to slap the taste out of Piper & Schultz’ mouths and get the titles off of them. Piper said that unlike Santana they were fighting champions and weren’t afraid to put their titles on the line and noted that Santana probably just got in this match so he didn’t have to defend his Intercontinental and was a typical cowardly Latino. Santana then grabbed the mic off Piper seemingly finally getting agitated by what he was saying and told Piper he wasn’t afraid to put his title on the line against anyone as he fights for the people and he’d happily put the title against Piper and his bozo partner Schultz anytime. Santana and Putski then walked off the set of Pipers Pit as Schultz tried to charge them but had to be restrained by Piper who said that they would not stoop to their level as they were classy, respectable champions unlike Santana. Slaughter wants SheikAt Madison Square Garden Sgt Slaughter will not be facing The Iron Sheik, as Freddie Blassie managed to get his client out of the match. Instead Sgt Slaughter will take on Bob Orton Jr. Slaughter gave an interview and said with all due respect to Bob Orton he wanted to face that maggot The Iron Sheik. He warned Orton though that he was in the way of him getting a rematch with The Sheik and now was not the time to get in his way and he was going to welcome Orton back to the WWF the hard way. The Superstar is as good as everWe saw an update in regards to Superstar Billy Graham’s return to the WWF. Graham said he is as good as he’s ever been and in that year away from the WWF has learnt some new techniques that will be sure to dazzle you. Graham also talked on his Madison Square Garden opponent Rocky Johnson. He said that Johnson was all sizzle and no substance, he said he may have married into the Maivia’s but he was nothing compared to Peter Maivia who he had some wars with. He said Johnson is merely a stepping stone to remind those simpletons about how these 22 inch pythons are the most deadly animals in the world. He then warns all the men that their women may not be able to contain their excitement when Superstar Billy Graham showcases his skills against Rocky Johnson. Pipers Pit with SD JonesSD Jones was the guest on Pipers Pit on All-Star Wrestling this week. Piper introduced Jones by mentioning that he was a real loser. Piper told Jones he should be embarrassed by his performances and how he sees him constantly losing out there and wonders why he does this to himself. He then mentions that this is probably the first time Jones has been in close proximity to greatness as he is the guest of the WWF Tag Team Champions. Jones says he knows he’s in a bit of a slump but he’s still going out there and fighting the best. Piper said if all this constant losing makes him feel like less of a man. Jones responded by asking if wearing a skirt makes Piper feel less of a man. Piper laughed at Jones and told him he was an ignorant, unintelligible loser who wasn’t worth his time, he told Schultz to take care of his guest. Schultz then began assaulting Jones and left him laying on the ground. Kiel Auditorium 5/6 Dick Murdoch defeated Salvatore Bellomo in 8:46 with a back suplexDick Murdoch showed he was a capable singles wrestler here with a victory over Salvatore Bellomo with a Back Suplex. Paul Orndorff defeated Chief Jay Strongbow in 8:41 with a PiledriverChief Jay Strongbow put up a fight here even scoring a couple of close near falls against a man over 20 years younger than him. But Orndorff managed to pull through with a Piledriver. After the match Strongbow was out and a stretcher had to come out to help him to the back due to the Piledriver. Orndorff then began punching Strongbow whilst he was on the stretcher. Orndorff then got back in the ring and grabbed a microphone as the crowd chanted for Backlund. Orndorff said that Backlund wasn’t here because he was afraid of him. He then said he was the most talented, best looking individual in the world and how Backlund was a washed up has been and he’d happily beat him any time he could. Magnum TA defeated Samula in 6:36 with a Belly to Belly SuplexMagnum TA picked up another victory to continue the roll he has been on since he’s arrived here when he defeated Samula of the Wild Samoans Bob Orton defeated Rocky Johnson in 9:46 after crotching him on the top ropeBob Orton competed with one half of the former tag team champions when he took on Rocky Johnson. Johnson took Orton to the limit and Orton had to suplex Johnson onto the top rope crotch first to pick up the win. Tito Santana & Ivan Putski defeated Roddy Piper & David Schultz via countout in 11:22. Piper & Schultz retain the WWF Tag Team TitlesSantana & Putski looked like they hadn’t lost a step in their teamwork as they worked well together against the Tag Team Champions. Piper & Schultz looked flustered and when Putski nailed the Polish Hammer on Piper, Schultz pulled him out of the ring and got themselves counted out. After the match Putski & Santana told Piper & Schultz to get back in the ring. Piper & Schultz looked like they were about to get back in but stopped at the ring and backed off. Piper & Schultz were then interviewed and Piper said he had a 107 degree fever and he’d face them when he’s feeling better. Greg Valentine defeated B. Brian Blair in 11:43 with a Figure Four Leg LockBlair once again put up a tough fight against Valentine constantly countering the figure four. Valentine though was relentless in locking in that hold and eventually got it and made Blair submit. Sgt Slaughter & The Iron Sheik fought a double disqualification in 10:11Another brawl between these two that once again got too far out of control. Eventually both men just decided to ignore the referee and after they both shoved him out of the way and kept brawling the referee had to call the match a double disqualification. The two continued to brawl but Sheik ran out of harms way. Slaughter then grabbed the microphone and said he’ll take on that maggot Sheik if he isn’t a coward anytime, anyplace. He then led the crowd in the pledge of allegiance as Sheik looked on angry from the top of the ramp. As the Steel Cage was being set up Jimmy Snuka & Big John Studd were interviewed regarding the match. Snuka said that this was it, the final showdown, there would be no outside interference, bones would be broken, blood would be pouring and only one of them would only walk out of here as Champion. Snuka said he knows what he’s getting to as he’s been in cage matches before and he’s prepared to put it all on the line again. Studd said he finally has that worm Snuka trapped inside that cage where he wants him. He said there’s no escape and he’s prepared to hurt Snuka and strap that belt around his waist. Jimmy Snuka defeated Big John Studd in a steel cage match in 9:52 by escaping the cage to retain the WWF Heavyweight ChampionshipStudd gained the advantage early as he controlled the pace and busted Snuka open against the cage. Snuka however fought back and managed to use his speed in the confined structure to knock Studd down. Studd however regained the advantage and nailed Snuka with a Big Boot and followed it up by ragdolling Snuka into the cage. Snuka however got back up when it looked like it was all over and grabbed Studd’s foot. Snuka then fought back and trapped Studd into the ropes and managed to escape the cage. Studd looked pissed when he escaped and attacked Snuka from behind as he was celebrating and brought him back into the cage. Studd went to charge into Snuka against the cage but Snuka jumped out of the way and as Studd was down delivered a Splash from the top of the cage to Studd as the crowd applauded with Snuka retaining his title. ------------------------- Championship Wrestling 5/7Bob Backlund and Paul Orndorff was ruled a no contest at 0:00 Eddie Gilbert & Tony Garea defeated Ron Shaw & Goldie Rogers in 4:09 when Gilbert pinned Shaw with a Sunset Flip Update on Superstar Billy Graham Rocky Johnson defeated Butcher Vachon in 2:47 with a Boston Crab Greg Valentine defeated Salvatore Bellomo in 4:09 with a Figure Four Leg Lock Dick Murdoch defeated Steve Lombardi in 1:02 with a Lariat Pipers Pit with Tito Santana & Ivan Putski The Iron Sheik defeated Frankie Williams in 0:47 with a Camel Clutch Interviews with Greg Valentine, Jimmy Snuka & Sgt Slaughter Ivan Putski & Tito Santana defeated Charlie Fulton & Rene Goulet in 4:12 when Santana pinned Fulton with a Flying Forearm All-Star Wrestling 5/7The Invaders defeated Jerry Valiant & Butcher Vachon in 4:48 when Invader #1 pinned Valiant with a diving Cross Body Rocky Johnson defeated Israel Matia in 2:50 with a Boston Crab Pipers Pit with SD Jones Sgt Slaughter defeated Goldie Rogers in 2:04 with a Cobra Clutch Bob Orton Jr. defeated Mike Jackson in 3:39 with a Superplex Interviews with Greg Valentine, Wendi Richter and Tito Santana & Ivan Putski Dick Murdoch defeated Terry Daniels in 2:47 with a Backdrop Suplex Roddy Piper & David Schultz defeated Jose Louis Rivera & Frankie Williams in 4:58 when Piper locked in the Sleeper on Williams

Week 18 1984
Nobody Breaks the Figure Four
[/color][/size] Greg Valentine issued a challenge for anyone to withstand his figure four leg lock saying no one could break it and it was the most perfectly executed figure four in the history of wrestling. S.D Jones answered the call and was locked in the figure four. After a bit of a fight Jones began tapping out, Valentine however didn’t release the hold and kept Jones on the mat squirming in pain. The referee attempted to pull Valentine off but was unsuccessful yelling that this was for Snuka. Jimmy Snuka then ran out and chased Valentine to the back. Valentine engaged in a staredown with Snuka whilst he was at the top of the ramp and Snuka was in the ring helping Jones to his feet. Valentine also gave an interview on All Star Wrestling where he said that Snuka’s reign was over before it could truly begin. He had met someone who was far beyond him and he would lock in the Figure Four and make Snuka surrender his title to Valentine. Captain Lou Made Snuka[/color][/size] Lou Albano also gave an interview about his former client Jimmy Snuka. Lou said that he made Snuka what he is and if it wasn’t for him giving Snuka the knowledge that he did he wouldn’t be anywhere near the WWF Title. Well Albano is going to make him pay for betraying him when his newest improved model Greg Valentine will take what Snuka prizes most above everything. Albano said he is going to take great pride in watching Snuka submit to the figure four and lose his title. Backlund and Orndorff are ready to explode[/color][/size] The normally happy go lucky Bob Backlund seems to have finally found his breaking point thanks to “Mr Wonderful” Paul Orndorff. Backlund told Orndorff that he is a punk and has lead him to become more enraged than ever. He said doing his best like he normally promises isn’t going to be good enough and he promises to defeat Orndorff and make him pay. Orndorff mocked Backlund by calling him Howdy Doody and a washed up, jealous fool who would go back into his shell once he came face to face with Orndorff like the turtle that he looks like. Orndorff was asked why he had to use tactics like faking an injury and attacking Backlund with his fake cast. Orndorff got up in Okerlund’s face and told him that he did that to send a message to Howdy Doody and all the people that look up to him that Backlund was a fraud because he was faking an injury to get out of a match with Backlund and he didn’t want to step in the ring with him. Orndorff warned Backlund that he was going to put him out of commission for good. Don’t Overlook Orton[/color][/size] Bob Orton was interviewed regarding his match with Sgt Slaughter at Madison Square Garden. Orton told Slaughter that he was too focused with The Iron Sheik and that would be his downfall as he was focused and prepared to annihilate Slaughter and make everyone realise that he was the true threat in the WWF. Slaughter responded by saying he most certainly was not overlooking Orton and that he was taking this threat real seriously. He said he was going to picture that Orton was Sheik because the feeling he gets when he is punching that slimeball, maggot face of Sheik gives him shear delight. Rocky Johnson is ready to step up[/color][/size] Rocky Johnson picked up a victory on Championship Wrestling this week, after the match he gave an interview regarding his opponent at Madison Square Garden Superstar Billy Graham. Johnson said that when he used to have dinner with his father in law High Chief Peter Maivia, he told him about the wars he got in with Superstar Billy Graham, he told him that if he ever got in the ring with him to expect a brawl. Johnson said he dreams of becoming WWF Champion and beating someone with the credentials of Graham will give him a step towards it. Johnson said he is prepared for this moment and is prepared to take this chance and chase his dream. Pipers Pit with The Wild Samoans & Lou Albano[/color][/size] The Wild Samoans and their manager Lou Albano were the guests on Pipers Pit this week. Piper welcomed them to the set calling them perhaps the team they’ve learnt the most from with one of the greatest manager of all time in Albano. Afa & Sika of the Samoans nodded their heads in approval and began picking at each other’s hair. Albano thanked Piper for them and said it was an honour to be here. Piper first brought up how Albano was now a multi entertainment star as he appeared in Cyndi Laupers “The Goonies” music video, Albano said he and Lauper were good friends and mentioned how he had contributed a large deal of Lauper’s success. Piper also brought up how Snuka has refused to give Albano any credit for influencing him and leading to his victory. Albano agreed and said Snuka was a greedy grub but he was going to lose to the far superior Greg Valentine. Piper said he thought Snuka & Lauper should be giving a majority of their earnings to Albano because they’d be nothing without Albano. Albano then said that he would love to manage Piper & Schultz as they’ve proven to be a great tag combination. This made The Samoans raise their heads and stare at Albano trying to figure out what he meant. Albano realised and said he’d never leave the Samoans as they were the largest, toughest duo in the WWF and were the greatest tag of all time with 3 tag titles. Albano then complemented Piper saying that Piper was smart enough not to need a manager and do all his business by himself. Again this drew the interest of The Samoans as they stood up wondering what Albano meant by that. Albano then tried to cover himself saying that he thought Afa & Sika were smart but they needed someone to talk for them. Afa then pointed right at Pipers title belt implying that he may want a shot at it. Piper told them to ease down and not do anything stupid, Albano told them that he had to focus on the WWF Heavyweight Championship and Greg Valentine right now, Afa and Sika then began going wild and stormed off the set. Albano and Piper looked at each other awkwardly. Albano told Piper he had to go deal with this and shook Pipers hand, Piper mentioned how he wanted to get Lauper on his show but Albano had already chased off after The Samoans. The Piper/Schultz and Putski/Santana rivalry continues[/color][/size] Roddy Piper & David Schultz picked up a victory over Tony Garea & Eddie Gilbert in the feature bout of Championship Wrestling this week. After the match Gene Okerlund interviewed the Tag Team Champions. Piper said he and Schultz were the most dominant tag team ever and that they couldn’t possibly be defeated by the likes of Ivan Putski & Taco Santana. Okerlund attempted to correct him but Schultz grabbed the microphone off of him, handed it to Piper and began yelling at Okerlund who got out of the ring. Piper said he and “Dr D” would be holding onto these titles for a very long and there wasn’t anything that chumps like the team in the ring, Schultz began laying a couple of shots into Garea and Gilbert or Santana & Putski could do. Santana & Putski came out to a loud applause as they began to chase Piper & Schultz around the ring but they managed to get away. Putski & Santana gave an interview on All-Star Wrestling where they said that this has been the most painful month having to listen to these two talk about how they are the greatest team ever because they stole those tag titles. Santana then said he intends on ending this reign before it can truly begin and get even more intolerable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ResultsBoston Garden 5/13Paul Orndorff defeated Pat Patterson in 8:08 with a Piledriver

WWF 1984 Week 19
Valentine goes a leg up Jimmy Snuka & Greg Valentine each gave an interview regarding their upcoming title match at Madison Square Garden. Lou Albano was with Valentine and said that he taught Snuka everything he knows and he is going to have Valentine exploit his many weaknesses. Valentine said that he will do anything to get his hands on that title, he commented about how he was the smartest dressed man in the WWF and how he was going to have a huge celebration with plenty of ladies after he breaks Snuka’s legs in Madison Square Garden. Snuka responded by telling Valentine that this title was what he trained so hard for and he wasn’t going to let it go easily. He then warned Valentine that Albano would probably rip him off like he did to him, he said that he didn’t achieve his full potential until after he had left Albano and he became a free man. He said he’s learnt a whole lot more since he’s left Albano, brother and he is going to showcase that to Albano and Valentine in Madison Square Garden. Perhaps though the most telling stat occurred following a match-up on Championship Wrestling that featured Jimmy Snuka defeating Rene Goulet. Snuka was celebrating the victory when Valentine came out with manager Lou Albano who was barking orders at Valentine to attack Snuka. Valentine obliged and grabbed Snuka’s leg tripping him up, he followed this up with a Figure Four Leg Lock repeatedly slamming back on the mat for extra force as Snuka writhed in pain attempting to escape. Finally some help came out to pull Valentine off but the damage had been done. Snuka couldn’t put any pressure on his left leg as he had to be helped to the back as Valentine smiled at his handiwork, Snuka obviously having to overcome a major handicap at Madison Square Garden.
The Superstar and The Soulman Superstar Billy Graham returned to action on Championship Wrestling this week defeating Salvatore Bellomo. He also had some words for Rocky Johnson as he told him that Superstar Billy Graham wasn’t a stepping stone for any man. He said that anyone who thought so needs to be made an example of. He said he came back for one reason and that’s to take back his WWF Title and he isn’t going to lose to some chump like Rocky Johnson. He said that he was the substance whilst Rocky Johnson was the style and he would remind everyone of what they’ve been missing for the past year.
It’s on Bob Backlund and Paul Orndorff will finally go face to face at Madison Square Garden this week. Both men had words regarding this match. Backlund said that it is finally time for some payback and called Orndorff a disrespectful punk. He promised that he would be victorious against Orndorff and teach him a lesson about respect. Backlund said that whilst he tries to be a good role model throughout his career for the kids, this match could get a bit ugly. Orndorff said that it was time to put Backlund out of his misery for good. He said he was a has been who was jealous that he had been eclipsed by a better technical athlete who is also much better looking than Howdy Doody. He said he was going to deliver the Piledriver over and over again and put Backlund out for good this time.
Pipers Pit with Sgt Slaughter Sgt Slaughter was the guest on Pipers Pit on Championship Wrestling this week. Piper “welcomed” him to the show by saying he’s changed and become a huge suck-up over the past couple of months. Slaughter told him he isn’t a suck-up, he said he’s nothing more than a proud American and he wants to show his support for his brothers that fight in the American Military. Piper then tries to egg on Slaughter trashing the military and mentioning how Slaughter lost to Sheik and wouldn’t be facing him again. Slaughter told Piper he better watch his mouth regarding the US military and said that he’ll get his hands on Sheik and when he did he was going to savour every moment of it. Piper said that Slaughter should’ve been suspended for his assault on Sheik last month and mentioned that he’ll be facing Bob Orton and he is good friends with Orton and expects he’ll beat Slaughter pretty easily, because Slaughter has lost a step recently and is too focused on Sheik. Piper then gave Slaughter some “advice”, he told him to drop the act and stop leading the crowd in the pledge of allegiance as no one wants to hear it. Slaughter then grabbed the microphone off of Piper and called him a insolent maggot, he said him leading the crowd in the pledge of allegiance was him showing his support for the USA and if Piper or any other maggot didn’t want to hear it and feel his love of America then that’s tough luck. Slaughter then began the pledge of allegiance before Piper told him no and grabbed the microphone off of him telling him he would not stand for this diatribe on his show.
Pipers Pit with The Tonga Kid The Tonga Kid was the guest on Pipers Pit on All-Star Wrestling this week. Piper asked Schultz if he knew who this guy was, Schultz shook his head and said he looked like another butt ugly baboon from some island in the pacific where they still haven’t evolved to the point of calling themselves humans. Piper said that this guy wasn’t worth his time and told Schultz that he could have Pipers Pit to himself this week before walking off. Schultz begins to laugh and begins to insult Tonga calling him an uninhibited monkey and wonders how he even thinks he has a chance in the WWF. Tonga Kid told him that he knew Jimmy Snuka from when he was a kid and Snuka has mentored him and helped him get to the WWF and he’s ready to make him and everyone back home proud. Schultz told him that he should learn from someone like Schultz or Piper and not Snuka who was a paper champion if he’d ever seen one and is afraid of facing himself as he had called him out for a fair championship bout. Kid cut him off and said that Snuka wasn’t afraid of anyone and that he was proud to be trained by him and wouldn’t be trained by someone as disrespectful as Schultz ever. Schultz grabbed back the microphone and told Kid to never cut him off again, he said he may get away with that in the land of savages but in civilisation they wait for people to finish what they were saying. Schultz told Kid he was going to give him his first training lesson for free and cheap shotted Kid. Schultz then walked off as Kid got back to his knees smiling.

Wrestling Observer Newsletter May
- Several more debuts occurred this month in the WWF including the surprise return of Superstar Billy Graham. Not many expected him to be back in the company but Graham is still a draw in the Northeast and a feud with Snuka is expected to do big numbers.
- Also debuting was Magnum TA from Mid South. Jim Crockett also was interested in TA as he is said to have a star package, with great mic and in ring work. TA will receive a substantial push and could eventually the heir to the world title down the line.
- The incoming talent isn't expected to stop there though. McMahon has his eyes on some more talent to bring into the company in the summer. Jesse Ventura is finishing up his dates and has been telling people he will be going to the WWF so expect him to debut soon. Chavo Guerrero also appeared on the Oakland card and might be brought over to the Tri State area.
- Other names also being considered include the Junkyard Dog, Harley Race & Bruiser Brody. Apparently McMahon was very interested in attempting to bring in Kerry Von Erich and even the entire Von Erich clan but they seem to be staying put in WCCW.
- The WWF had a bit of a down month in terms of attendance and financial success. Numbers were still good in Madison Square Garden with a near sellout, numbers were however down in Boston, St. Louis, Philadelphia & many other minor markets. The California trip with the headline show at the Oakland Coliseum did do well though with headline bouts between Slaughter & Sheik.
- Bob Backlund also returned this month and is set to be involved in a long feud with Paul Orndorff. The WWF think highly of Orndorff and this feud is intended to make him a star in the company. This rivalry along with Sgt Slaughter are expected to be the headline acts over the summer along with Snuka and Valentine. These bouts have been booked at several shows over the next month.
- The WWF intends to build up Women's Wrestling recently signing The Fabulous Moolah, Wendi Richter, Velvet McIntyre & Desiree Peterson to exclusive deals. McMahon is also out scouting other womens wrestlers that includes Sherri Martel & Leilani Kai.
- Shea Stadium has officially been announced for July. The WWF appeared to be hinting at an Andre heel turn to face Snuka in the main event, but that seems unlikely now. Headline bouts are looking to include Snuka vs. Graham or Paul Orndorff and Sheik vs. Slaughter

Madison Square Garden, New York City, New York May 22 1984 Televised on the MSG NetworkThe WWF is in Madison Square Garden once again. Gorilla Monsoon and Gene Okerlund welcome the crowd to the show and mention that we will be seeing Jimmy Snuka defend his WWF Heavyweight Championship against Greg “The Hammer” Valentine, the other main event Bob Backlund and Paul Orndorff finally going face to face. They then go to Howard Finkel who is ready to do the ring introductions for the first contest. Sgt Slaughter vs. Bob Orton JnrThe Set-Up: Sgt Slaughter has made it clear what is on his mind and that is he wants The Iron Sheik. After losing his temper and getting himself disqualified, Sheik and his manager Freddie Blassie have refused to face Slaughter. Slaughter is always up for a challenge and Bob Orton Jnr has stepped up to the plate. Orton returns to Madison Square Garden for the first time in over 2 years and he seems ready for this match as he has been on a roll since returning to the WWF. Orton has said he will take advantage of Slaughter being pre-occupied with The Iron Sheik but Slaughter says it will only make him more focused. Will Orton pick up a win in his return to MSG? The Match: Slaughter and Orton tied up to begin the match and Slaughter won the battle as he tossed Orton into the corner to a loud cheer. Orton and Slaughter again tied up with the same result as Orton was tossed into the corner. Orton rolled out of the ring to regather himself, third time was the charm for Orton who finally gained the advantage in a tie up as he locked in a side headlock. Slaughter looked like he was going to power out as he lifted Orton up but Orton rolled through and now had the headlock locked in on the ground. Slaughter again powered up and this time successfully as he delivered an atomic drop to Orton. Slaughter then whipped Orton into the turnbuckle and charged in but was greeted with an Orton boot. Orton then proceeded to control Slaughter but couldn’t put him away. He decided it was Superplex time but Slaughter pushed Orton off and then hit his patented Slaughter Cannon Lariat. Slaughter then locked in the Cobra Clutch and forced Orton to submit. The Result: Sgt Slaughter defeated Bob Orton Jnr in 7:23 with a Cobra Clutch After the match Sgt Slaughter was interviewed by Mean Gene Okerlund at ringside. Slaughter called out The Iron Sheik and said he wanted to face that slimeball maggot in Madison Square Garden again. He said that Sheik was a coward along with his traitor manager Freddie Blassie. He said he wasn’t going to stop until he got his hands on Sheik once more. He told Sheik to come out and here and show the world that he was a man and that he wasn’t another Iranian coward. This brought Sheik out with manager Freddie Blassie who was attempting to restrain Sheik and telling him not to do this but Sheik was mouthing off at Slaughter. Sheik marched down to Okerlund and said he accepts Slaughter’s challenge and he will show him why Iran is number and America is before spitting at Slaughters feet. This drew Slaughter into an irate state but before things could get out of hand it seemed like half the WWF employees had piled out to prevent anything from happening. The crowd was in a frenzy as we would be seeing Sheik vs. Slaughter at Madison Square Garden in June. Before the next contest Howard Finkel introduced the Ladies Champion, having held the belt for over 10,000 days The Fabulous Moolah, who was greeted to a warm reception. Wendi Richter vs. Velvet McIntyreThe Set-Up: The Ladies of the World Wrestling Federation return to Madison Square Garden as Wendi Richter will take on old rival Velvet McIntyre. Richter is a protégé of The Ladies World Champion The Fabulous Moolah, who is at ringside for this match. McIntyre has a lot of experience as well and is a well respected wrestler. Which woman will stand tall at the end of this one? The Match: Richter came out on fire dazzling McIntyre with a combination of punches, kicks and hiptosses. Richter seemed to wear herself out though as McIntyre gained the advantage and got a near fall following a suplex on Richter. McIntyre motioned to Moolah that this one was for her as she began stomping on Richter. Though no matter how hard she tried Richter kept coming back. McIntyre got Richter into a side headlock but Richter countered sending McIntyre face first into the turnbuckle and pinned McIntyre following a schoolboy The Result: Wendi Richter defeated Velvet McIntyre in 5:42 minutes with a schoolboy Richter was celebrating in the ring before she was interviewed by Gene Okerlund. Richter said it was great to be back and she wanted to thank her mentor Moolah. She then invited Moolah into the ring with her. Moolah got in as Richter hugged her, Richter then raised Moolah’s hand to an applause from the crowd before Moolah suddenly punched Richter in the throat. Moolah then picked up Richter and delivered a bodyslam to the shock of the crowd. Moolah laid in some more cheap shots in the crowd before rolling out of the ring looking at Richter in disgust. WWF Tag Team Championship Roddy Piper & David Schultz vs. Ivan Putski & Tito SantanaThe Set-Up: Piper & Schultz have been nemesis of Putski & Santana in recent months in singles competition and now it heads to the tag team stage as Piper & Schultz will defend their newly won tag team championships against former tag champions Putski & Santana. The Match: Roddy Piper and Ivan Putski began the match as Piper decided to hop out of the ring, apparently not yet ready. Putski then began chasing Piper around and in the ring for a while before David Schultz blindsided Putski with a clothesline. Piper then began kicking Putski on the ground and delivered a couple of elbow drops as well. He then tagged in Schultz as the crowd were ravenous towards Piper & Schultz. Schultz hit a neckbreaker on Putski for a near fall. Piper & Schultz isolated Putski from Santana who was very anxious to get into the ring. Just when it looked like all hope was lost Piper made a mistake as he ascended to the middle rope and attempted a knee drop but Putski rolled out of the way and made a tag to Santana who let out that pent up frustration on Piper and Schultz, delivering dropkicks to both of them. Santana continued the assault delivering chops, crossbodies, everything he could. However Schultz once again bent the rules as when Santana was coming off the ropes he dropped down sending Santana falling to the outside. Santana was then tossed in by Schultz for a near fall. Santana made the tag to Putski who managed to deliver a back drop to Schultz. Schultz then got and raked Putski’s eyes, he then began working on him. Schultz began delivering some punches to Putski’s head but they didn’t seem to affect him, Piper was screaming to not attack Putski’s head as it was too thick. Putski started punching Schultz and followed it up with a powerslam, the pinfall was broken up by Piper. Piper then began fighting with Santana on the outside and this distracted Putski who got rolled up and Schultz placed his feet on the ropes behind the referees back to get the pinfall. The Result: Roddy Piper & David Schultz defeat Ivan Putski & Tito Santana in 11 when Schultz pinned Putski after placing his feet on the ropes Schultz & Piper began celebrating like they’d won the world series and began mouthing off at the crowd on their way to the back Superstar Billy Graham vs. Rocky JohnsonThe Set-Up: Billy Graham had a notorious rivalry with Rocky Johnson’s father-in-law The High Chief Peter Maivia over then Graham’s WWWF Heavyweight Championship. Graham and Maivia went at it in a series of bouts that were fuelled by hatred. Rocky Johnson now looks to do what his father in law couldn’t and pin Billy Graham and launch himself into the Heavyweight Title picture. Billy Graham made his return to the WWF last month and says he’ll be no stepping stone, instead promising to beat Johnson like he did Maivia and get himself back into the picture to get what he claims is his gold. The Match: Graham and Johnson tied up and Graham showed he still has his strength as he powered Johnson into the corner. Graham then began flexing his muscles as the crowd booed. Graham then ordered Johnson into the centre for a test of strength. Graham looked like he was easily winning as he began to smile but then Johnson looked like he was starting to turn the tide for a bit before Graham hit Johnson with a knee. He then delivered a body slam for a 2 count. Graham then went to whip Johnson into the ropes but Johnson reversed it and followed it up with a dropkick, he then hit another one as Graham rolled out of the ring being bamboozled by Johnson’s speed. Graham got back into the ring and was greeted with some Johnson punches as he danced around Johnson then sent Graham into the turnbuckle and went to follow it up but Graham moved out of the way and then hit a delayed vertical suplex with Johnson upside down for nearly 5 seconds. Johnson somehow kicked out though. Graham then began to work over Johnson on the ground with a rear chinlock. Johnson powered out eventually and knocked Graham down and hit a variety of strikes he then knocked Graham down and began running around taking it all in, however this allowed Graham to get to his feet and Johnson charged in to be met with a Bearhug. After a long struggle where it looked like Johnson may break out he eventually passed out and Graham picked up the win. The Result: Superstar Billy Graham defeated Rocky Johnson in 6:52 minutes with a Bearhug Billy Graham was interviewed after the match by Gene Okerlund. Graham told Okerlund he was standing next to greatness, the man of the hour, the man with the power, too sweet to be sour, he told everyone that Billy Graham is in the best shape of his life and he was better than ever. He told all the people in the arena and at home, that they should pawn off their little possessions in order to witness Billy Graham in the flesh better than ever. He said he didn’t care who was the champ after tonight, he wants to get back his title, the crowd were booing as Graham walked off smiling and motioning for the belt. Backstage Greg Valentine and his manager Lou Albano were interviewed by Vince McMahon. Valentine was doing some stretches and told McMahon that he or anyone in this arena wouldn’t know but it takes a lot of work and effort to get into the shape that he was in and told McMahon to leave him alone and he could interview him after he makes Jimmy Snuka submit to the Figure Four. Albano said that he used to manage Snuka and knows all of his many weaknesses and has told them to Greg so he will exploit, he said that Snuka is a no good, selfish weasel who should be thankful for what Albano did for him. He said Valentine is the best wrestler in the world and is selfless. He said that this one should be a walk in the park as no one was more talented then Valentine he tapped Valentine on the chest as they made their way to the ring. Jimmy Snuka was the interviewed. He said Valentine hurt his leg on Championship Wrestling but there was no way he is going to let that stop him. He said Valentine is going to have to do a lot more than injure his leg for him to not be able to go out there and defend his title, for his people, his fans and for himself. He said it was probably that cowardly egomaniac Capt Lou Albano’s doing, he said that Albano had nothing to do with Snuka becoming champion but now that he is he wants to claim the glory, he said if Albano wants to get involved in his business he’ll take him down as well and he’ll do it with a smile on his face as he made his way to the ring. WWF Heavyweight Championship Jimmy Snuka vs. Greg Valentine (w/ Captain Lou Albano)The Set-Up: This one has many dimensions, the first and probably the most personal side of this story is the fact that Valentine’s manager will be none other than Lou Albano, who used to manage Jimmy Snuka back in the day before he ripped him off and Snuka broke ties with Albano. Albano claims that without his guidance Snuka wouldn’t be WWF Champion and claims he has found a much more suitable replacement who he’ll guide to the title. Valentine has long sought after that WWF Championship having many wars with then Champion Bob Backlund but always falling just short. Valentine is one of the most talented technical wrestlers on the planet and intends to use his figure four to finally get the title that has eluded him. Valentine will come in with a significant advantage after injuring Snuka’s leg last week on Championship Wrestling and forcing him to be helped out. Will that prove to be the deciding factor or will Snuka overcome the odds and retain his title? The Match: Snuka and Valentine circled each other for a bit feeling each other out. They finally locked up and neither man was budging, eventually they both broke it and did it again with the same result. They locked up for a third time, Valentine rolled into a side headlock but got tossed into the ropes and Snuka hit a hiptoss. Snuka then began chopping at Valentine and sending him back before Valentine kicked the leg he injured last week and dropped Snuka. Valentine then laid a couple of more kicks into Snuka’s leg, he then dropped a couple of elbow drops onto it as Snuka shrieked in pain. Valentine then walked over to the ropes and went to drop a knee on it but Snuka rolled out of the way and caused Valentine to miss. Valentine got to his feet but was greeted with some punches and then a backdrop from Snuka. Valentine rolled out of the ring and huddled with Albano. Whatever Albano said it didn’t work as Snuka began working over Valentine with chops and punches, he then whipped Valentine into the ropes and went to leapfrog him but his sore leg buckled under him as he grabbed it in pain, like a shark smelling blood Valentine pounced on the leg and began working it over, driving his elbow into it, yanking it down, everything he could to injure the leg. Valentine then went for a figure four but Snuka kicked Valentine off sending him to the outside. Valentine looked frustrated as Albano attempted to calm him down. Valentine got on the ring apron and Snuka went to suplex him back in but Albano tripped Snuka and Valentine fell on top of him. This didn’t go undetected by the referee though who threw Albano from the ringside area. Albano and Valentine were irate as the crowd erupted at this revelation. As Valentine was watching Albano leaving Snuka snuck up behind and rolled up Valentine for a near 2 count. Valentine recovered and knocked Snuka down with a lariat. He began working over Snuka’s leg some more, this time stomping on it in addition to working it with his elbow. Snuka wouldn’t submit though fighting back whenever he could. Valentine worked over the leg very methodically as Snuka occasionally threw some punches or kicks with his free leg to no avail. Valentine then signalled that he was going for another figure four but this time Snuka got Valentine in an inside cradle for a very close 2 count. Valentine seemed very frustrated and seemed to adjust his approach by attacking Snuka’s head and then tried to pin him to no avail. Valentine looked like he was running out of ideas as he dragged Snuka over to the ropes and placed his leg on the middle rope and went to jump on it but Snuka kicked Valentine over the top rope to the outside. Snuka got to his feet finally and got on the apron and leapt on Valentine to a cheer from the crowd. Snuka and Valentine got to their feet and began brawling on the outside, Snuka tossed Valentine into the ring as we had reached 30 minutes worth of action. Snuka delivered a chop and once again Valentine kicked Snuka in his injured leg to knock him down. Valentine began working over the leg again intent on getting Snuka to submit but Snuka was having none of it. Valentine then went for the figure four for the third time but once again Snuka kicked Valentine off and sent him to the outside. Valentine slammed the mat outside in frustration at his inability to put Snuka away, he got to his feet and began tossing a few things at ringside. Snuka got to his feet and walked over to the ropes as Valentine grabbed Snuka’s leg dragged him across and wrapped it around the ringpost as Snuka screamed in agony, Valentine then dragged Snuka out of the ring and whipped him into the steps and Snuka was sent over as his left leg rammed into it first and sent him over. Valentine looked exhausted himself though as his inability to put Snuka away was taking his toll on him as we were closing in on 40 minutes. Valentine then picked Snuka up and went for a kneebreaker but Snuka rolled through and locked on a headlock, he held it in and Valentine looked like he was fading out, he however managed to get out of it and took Snuka down again. He then attempted to lock in yet another figure four but again Snuka kicked Valentine off, this time however Valentine’s momentum sent him shoulder first into the ringpost. Both men were exhausted as we had reached the 45 minute mark. Both men got to the their feet Snuka holding his leg, Valentine his shoulder. Snuka then delivered a jumping headbutt which rattled Valentine and followed it up with a Piledriver. Valentine was down for the count but Snuka was exhausted himself, he eventually managed to crawl over to Valentine and cover him and if it weren’t for Valentine getting his foot on the bottom rope at 2 and 3 quarters it would’ve been over, Valentine himself putting everything on the line. Snuka and Valentine got to their feet and sluggishly began to throw sloppy punches at each other as we were over 50 minutes of the 60 minute time limit. Snuka then went for a suplex but collapsed as both men were on the ground absolutely exhausted from this epic. Both men got to their feet and looked like they could barely walk, Valentine attempted a takedown on Snuka’s leg but Snuka ended up on top of Valentine. Snuka then delivered a chop to Valentine. And went for a dropkick but it seemed to hurt his leg more as both men were fighting on instinct now. Valentine attempted the figure four for the fifth time as time was running out but once again it was unsuccessful with Snuka again kicking Valentine off. We now had 2 minutes to go and both men realised it, they threw everything they had, which wasn’t much, at the other. Valentine took Snuka down and went for the figure four one last time but Snuka kicked Valentine out as the time ran out. The Result: Jimmy Snuka & Greg Valentine fight to a time limit draw in 60:00 Both men were lying down on the floor exhausted, Albano came out and attended his man who got to his feet looked irritated, Albano tried to calm him down. Valentine then stormed back into the ring and applied the figure four leg lock, Snuka was screaming in pain as Valentine wouldn’t let go, frustrated, eventually Valentine had to be pulled off of Snuka as he walked to the back with Albano, frustrated. Snuka had to be helped to the back as his leg was in grave pain, but he had survived this classic with his belt still on him. Magnum T.A vs. Dick Murdoch (w/ Adrian Adonis)The Set-Up: Magnum TA has only been here a month but is already creating a stir. His magnetic personality and intensity has already captivated crowds as he picked up a big upset victory over former 2 time Intercontinental Champion Don Muraco last month. Dick Murdoch meanwhile has transitioned to singles competition adequately after his tag partner Adrian Adonis was injured. Adonis will return tonight to be in the corner of his partner and is sure to provide a distraction to Magnum. Will Murdoch be able to find a way to stop the hot start of Magnum TA? The Match: Murdoch was discussing things with Adonis but Magnum was having none of it grabbing Murdoch right off the bat and blasting him with some heavy rights, rattling Murdoch. He followed this up by ramming Murdoch’s head into the turnbuckle over and over again. Murdoch fell to the ground as Magnum let out a primal scream to an applause from the crowd, Magnum’s intensity was winning over the crowd. Murdoch was dazed and swung a wild shot at Magnum, but Magnum ducked it and hit an atomic drop for a 2 count. Magnum continued the control and whipped him into the corner and followed it up with a backdrop. Adonis yanked his partner out of the ring sensing that he was in major trouble. Murdoch had been so dazzled by Magnum that he accidently swung at his partner but Adonis calmed him down and got him back in the ring. Murdoch finally gained the advantage and then delivered a body slam to Magnum. He began to work him over by keeping him grounded. Murdoch then locked in a sleeper hold and it looked like Magnum was fading, however Magnum lifted Murdoch up and carried him on his back and rammed him into the corner. Adonis then decided to jump into the ring to slow down Magnum but was met with a clash of the heads with his partner sending him to the outside. Magnum followed it up with a Belly to Belly suplex for the victory. The Result: Magnum TA defeated Dick Murdoch in 7:13 with a Belly to Belly Suplex Howard Finkel is in the ring and announces that the WWF will return to Madison Square Garden next month on the 19th of June. As well as the already announced Sgt Slaughter, Iron Sheik contest. It was announced that due to the happenings of the earlier WWF Heavyweight Title bout the New York State Athletic Commission has removed the curfew at the event and Jimmy Snuka would be defending his title against Greg Valentine in a match with no time limits. Bob Backlund was being interviewed backstage. He said that it felt great to be back in the WWF and he couldn’t wait to get his hands on Orndorff. He said that Orndorff and the world were going to see a different side of Orndorff because he was going to beat some respect into Orndorff, he said no one has angered him like Orndorff and that it was going to bring out everything that Backlund had and it wasn’t going to be pretty. Grudge Match Bob Backlund vs. Paul OrndorffThe Set-Up: This one is an intense rivalry. It all started when Orndorff felt like Backlund was disrespecting him by interrupting his celebration in the ring by coming down to talk about his training school and the two got in an intense confrontation. Orndorff then attacked Backlund prior to a battle royal and delivered a Piledriver on the floor putting Backlund out of action. Backlund came back with a vengeance costing Orndorff in an Intercontinental Championship bout with Tito Santana. The two were then scheduled for a match on Championship Wrestling but Orndorff claimed he had an injured arm and couldn’t compete before blasting Backlund with his cast. The two have been trading words as well with Orndorff saying he was the new generation and was better than Backlund in every way, physically, mentally and talent wise. Backlund says he wants to teach Orndorff some respect. In what is sure to be a physical brawl, who will come out on top? The Match: Backlund wanted to get his hands on Orndorff but Orndorff backed into the ropes and forced the referee to break it up. Orndorff did this again but this time Backlund pushed the referee out of the way and grabbed a hold of Orndorff and unorthodox for Backlund delivered some stiff punches to Orndorff, Orndorff then rolled out of the ring for a break but Backlund followed him out and the two began brawling on the outside, Backlund went to whip Orndorff into the guard rail but Orndorff reversed it as Backlund went crashing into it. Orndorff then got Backlund back into the ring and locked in a chinlock, driving his knee into Backlund’s back. Orndorff then dragged Backlund over to the corner and went to smash his head into the corner but Backlund countered and sent Orndorff into the top of the ring post busting him open. Backlund then began punching Orndorff right where he was cut. He repeatedly punched and raked at the cut like a savage, as we were definitely seeing a new Backlund. The cut began to grow bigger as blood was pouring out of Orndorff’s head, Orndorff was groggy from losing the blood and tried to kick Backlund off, but Backlund was relentless and continued to work at the cut. Eventually referee Dick Kroll called a stop to the bout due to excessive blood. The Result: Bob Backlund defeated Paul Orndorff after a blood stoppage in 8:09 Backlund however wouldn’t stop as he went after Orndorff some more, Orndorff tried to get out of the ring and was pleading for mercy but it wasn’t working. Backlund was relentlessly attacking Orndorff as we were definitely seeing a new Backlund. Finally Backlund was restrained by officials. Orndorff was a bloody mess as both men had to be restrained and taken to the back as we went off the air.

Round Two, There will be a Winner Greg Valentine & Jimmy Superfly Snuka will be going at it again after their epic 60 minute time limit draw at the last Madison Square Garden event. Both Valentine with his manager Lou Albano and Snuka gave words regarding the match last week and the next match at MSG. Albano said he watched the match over and Valentine was clearly in control and was the dominant man and if the match went another 30 seconds, he would’ve been the winner and that Snuka was saved by the bell. Valentine said his stamina was world class as he runs marathons and that he was going to be relentless coming at Snuka until he was crowned champion and now there was no bell to save him this time. Snuka said this belt means everything to him, he said he was willing to go into the next day, the next week if need be, he said he proved that he could go a long time and wasn’t going to quit. He said there will be a winner this time and that he intends on walking out still World Heavyweight Champion.
Bob Backlund has lost it We saw a greatly changed Bob Backlund at the last MSG event which resulted in Paul Orndorff bleeding so much that the match had to be stopped. We had an update with Paul Orndorff where called Backlund a lunatic, he pointed to his face and mentioned that this was the money maker before assuring his female fans that his face would recover with no scars on it. Orndorff told Backlund he would pay for this assault and told Backlund that what goes around comes around and he was going to send him a loud and clear message. Backlund once again showed that he is a completely changed man, bordering on crazy. He had a match against Rene Goulet on Championship Wrestling and picked up a convincing win, however Backlund didn’t stop there and applied the Crossface Chickenwing to Goulet after the match screaming for Orndorff to come out and face him. It appears Backlund has snapped thanks to Paul Orndorff, this rivalry is sure to continue on.
A new ‘Body’ debuts Jesse “The Body” Ventura made his debut on Championship Wrestling this week. During Ivan Putski’s match with Gino Carabello, Ventura came down to ringside and observed Putski with some interest. After Putski picked up the win, Ventura then flexed his muscles right in Putski’s face and Putski responded by flexing his back to the cheers of the crowd. Ventura smiled at Putski before rolling out of the ring and making his way to the back.
Pipers Pit with The British Bulldogs The British Bulldogs were the guests on Pipers Pit this week. Piper welcomed the two from the inferior part of Great Britain and that being on this show was the highlight of their pathetic careers so far. The Bulldogs came out and challenged Piper & Schultz for the tag titles right away saying they think they can beat them. Piper & Schultz began laughing at each other, Piper told The Bulldogs that they were kids and they need to learn their place. He said they’ve done nothing to earn a shot at these titles. Dynamite said that Piper seems afraid of them and he’d happily be the one to shut Piper up for good. Schultz told The Bulldogs they were pathetic and served under a woman, he then reassured Piper he respected the Scots because they brought the world Scotch, bagpipes and Roddy Piper, he told the Bulldogs they don’t deserve to even be on this show. Piper said he’d give The Bulldogs a chance though in a 6 man tag at the next Madison Square Garden show, they can pick a partner and we’ll pick a partner, Piper then whispered something to Schultz who began smiling and told The Bulldogs they had done it now, Piper said he’d have their partner on the show next week and sarcastically wished The Bulldogs good luck.
Chavo Guerrero looking to bring the Pride back to Mexico Chavo Guerrero made his first appearance on Championship Wrestling this week, picking up a win with a variety of Lucha Libre moves and finishing it off with a German Suplex, after the match Guerrero was interviewed by Gene Okerlund and said that he was an international superstar with more credentials than he could name. He said he has come to the WWF for one reason, he said Tito Santana was a disgrace to Mexican heritage and everyone down there is disgusted that he is representing them as champion. He challenged Santana to a match and said he was going to bring back pride to Mexico, we then learnt that this match has been announced for next week as Chavo Guerrero will take on Tito Santana in a non-title match.
Slaughter wants his revenge on Sheik The Iron Sheik picked up a victory on Championship Wrestling and continued to apply the Camel Clutch after the match. Sgt Slaughter then ran out to cheers from the crowd and chased Sheik to the back. Sgt Slaughter said he’s been waiting to get his hands back on Sheik inside the ring and his opportunity has finally come next month in Madison Square Garden. He said Sheik has been pushing all his buttons and he and his traitor manager Freddie Blassie are an insult to all his brothers in the armed forces and that he was going to make sure they paid for their sins.
Championship Wrestling 5/26 Chavo Guerrero defeated Terry Daniels in 2:52 with a German Suplex Chavo Guerrero Interview Greg Valentine defeated Tony Garea in 5:31 with a Figure Four Leg Lock Interview with Greg Valentine The Iron Sheik defeated Mike Jackson in 1:31 with a Camel Clutch Pipers Pit with The British Bulldogs Ivan Putski defeated Gino Carabello in 2:50 with a Polish Hammer Roddy Piper & David Schultz defeated Rudy Diamond & Frankie Williams in 3:54 when Schultz pinned Diamond with a Flying Elbowdrop Interview with Jimmy Snuka Update with Paul Orndorff Bob Backlund defeated Rene Goulet in 2:22 with a Crossface Chickenwing

I've actually been keeping up with this, but I'm probably fuzzy on most things. I'm quite interested in the Snuka/Valentine feud and the thought of Valentine becoming a WWF World Champion is something I'd be perfectly okay with. So, here I am to comment on the latest MSG show, which I should note, I appreciate the lead in portion to give me a refresher of sorts.
A good start to the program with Slaughter winning and having a confrontation with Sheik. I didn't think I'd be interested in a Sheik feud but you've done a good job getting my interest up in it. Slaughter playing the babyface role is perfect. I'm not sure if Moolah was a face prior to the attack on Wendi. Personally, the womens division isn't an interest of mine. The new tag champs beating the old champs is a obvious call. Graham over Johnson is a good call since you can probably still get something out of Graham before having him job out to up and comers. Plus, since he just returned you wouldn't want him to lose so quickly. A great job writing the Snuka/Valentine match, just a great job on that. I'm interested to see how far Magnum TA goes in this. I'm kind of surprised that Backlund went over in the main event, but the finish protects Orndorff. There wasn't really a dull spot on the card. Snuka/Valentine and Backlund/Orndorff were very good write-ups. I'm looking forward to the next show.

The Figure Four, The Most Devastating Move Greg Valentine and his manager Lou Albano came out to the ring and were interviewed by Gene Okerlund. Albano said he’s watched that 60 minute match over and over again and cannot believe that weasel Jimmy Snuka somehow escaped with that belt, he said if the match was scored on points Valentine would’ve won 100 to like 5. Valentine said Snuka was smart to do all he could to stay out of that figure four because once that was locked in it was over and said with no time limit he doesn’t have to worry about the time expiring because just like with the women he can go all night long. He then said to prove a point just how devastating the figure four is he and Albano are offering up $1000 to anyone in the back who can last longer than 60 seconds in or can escape the hold. Salvatore Bellomo took up the challenge and was locked in the figure four, he was screaming in pain as he was attempting to hold on but it was no use as he began slapping the mat, submitting. Valentine didn’t release the hold though further injuring Bellomo. Valentine told Snuka that he has met his match.
Also in a match at the Capitol Center in Landover, Maryland, Snuka took on Valentine for the WWF Heavyweight Championship and put on another epic encounter going close to 20 minutes. The match ended when Valentine had Snuka locked in the figure four, but Snuka was close to the ropes and grabbed on to break the hold, Valentine however didn’t let go and got himself disqualified. Valentine continued to apply the hold further injuring Snuka’s already sore leg. Valentine certainly has a point when he calls the move devastating as both Snuka & Bellomo needed to be assisted in leaving the ring after it was applied.
Pipers Pit with their Tag Partner and his New Manager Roddy Piper & David Schultz talked up their tag partner in the upcoming 6 man tag as a dominant individual and said it doesn’t matter who The Bulldogs find they won’t even be half as good. They introduced Big John Studd and his new manager Gary Hart. The trio seemed overly jubilant at being partnered together. Hart spoke first and said he came to the WWF because they have the best talent in the world and he found himself the most dominating, physically impressive specimen to manage in Big John Studd. He said a team of Studd, Schultz & Piper would be unstoppable. Piper said Hart was obviously a very smart man and called him a true genius of the sport. Studd said it was an honour to be teaming with the greatest Tag Team champions of all time. He said he was looking forward to dismantling The Bulldogs and whoever their partner is and then with the assistance of Hart was going straight to the top. Piper said The Bulldogs probably couldn’t find a partner because they were 2 arrogant, disrespectful little punks, meanwhile Schultz was talking to someone and came over to Piper he said The Bulldogs had found a partner. Piper then laughed and invited that partner to be a guest on Pipers Pit next week. Schultz said maybe that wasn’t a good idea and Piper said he was having none of it because no one can match up Big John Studd. Piper then thanked Studd for coming on the show and wished him and Hart all the best as the 4 men shook hands.
The Better Representative for Mexico Chavo Guerrero has called Tito Santana a bad representative for Mexico and says that he is someone that the country can be proud of. He said Santana is a fraud and is Latino by name only and is embarrassed by his Mexican heritage. Santana countered by saying he was proud of his heritage and goes out there every night wearing that heritage on his sleeve. Guerrero and Santana had a non-title match on Championship Wrestling this week, Guerrero cheated to pick up the victory after delivering a low blow and rolling up Santana with his feet on the ropes. The victory however is sure to earn Guerrero a future title shot.
Muraco Wants to Prove Magnum is a Fluke Don Muraco returned to the WWF this week, he said he needed that time off as he was so burnt out, he said there is no way he could possibly lose to a bum like Magnum TA. He said that TA’s victory over him was a fluke and that if they ever met again he would prove that he was a fluke and that a meathead like TA defeating someone as great as Muraco was a travesty. Superstar Graham wants Snuka to Stop Dodging Him Superstar Billy Graham came out after The Tonga Kid picked up a victory on Championship Wrestling and attacked him. Graham said he was sick of Snuka dodging him and was making a statement by attacking Snuka’s friend. He said he would get his shot at that chump Snuka. He said he is too sweet to be sour and he is too good to be left on the backburner for the WWF Heavyweight Championship, his WWF Heavyweight Championship.
Tony Atlas Returns Rocky Johnson was competing in a match on All-Star wrestling he picked up a victory but after the match Adrian Adonis & Dick Murdoch came out and cornered Johnson. Johnson’s partner Tony Atlas then returned from his injury and evened the odds. Adonis & Murdoch decided the numbers now weren’t to their advantage and got out of the ring yelling at Johnson & Atlas as they backed up the ramp. Johnson then embraced with the returning Atlas who pointed at Johnson before getting out of the ring.
Pipers Pit with Steve Lombardi Roddy Piper said he was giving a real loser a once in a life time opportunity tonight by appearing on his show. He mocked Lombardi saying he saw him regularly going out there and losing match after match whilst Piper & Schultz go out there and win match after match and have become the tag team champions. He asked why Lombardi even bothers going out there if he’s just going to lose. Lombardi said he loved the action and he isn’t afraid of anyone. Piper then said that this was a mistake, he said even being in a loser like Lombardi’s presence upset him too much, he then told Schultz to handle things. Schultz then began to “interview” Lombardi and his interview technique involved calling Lombardi every name in the book from slimeball, to loser, to disgrace before Piper blasted Lombardi from behind with a chair and began delivering blow after blow to him, Schultz then joined in the action before Piper got up and told everyone this was his show and just when they think they’ve got the answers I change the questions.
Ventura Still Watching Putski Jesse “The Body” Ventura once again made an appearance on Championship Wrestling and once again this appearance was watching Ivan Putski from ringside. Putski then grabbed a microphone and then said if Ventura wants something with Putski then told him to get into the ring and settle this. Ventura got into the ring and stared down with Putski, Ventura then slapped Putski and rolled out of the ring laughing as he backed up the ramp. Putski looked furious and began yelling at Ventura to get back in the ring.
Major Rivalries are Still Raging The Backlund/Orndorff and Sheik/Slaughter rivalries are still raging strong as evidenced by this weeks action. Backlund and Orndorff each had promos about their Madison Square Garden match-up where they continued the verbal assault against one another. Orndorff called Backlund a maniac and that he has Backlund right where he wants as he is too focused on doing damage and will slip up. Backlund said he had vengeance on his mind pure and simple and it brought out something he didn’t think he had. Backlund and Orndorff fought at Landover where they battled to a double disqualification after completely disobeying the referees orders. Slaughter and Sheik also raged strong as Sheik said he was going to humble that American stooge, the pig by putting him in the Camel Clutch and showed what he thought of the US by spitting when talking about them. Sheik and Slaughter also had a confrontation between their matches in the aisle and had to be pulled apart. These rivalries are certainly ugly, who will come out on top of both of them.

I've always admired old school diaries because I feel like they're a lot harder to keep up, as scrolling down this page I see this hasn't received many replies. Awesome to see Magnum T.A. in there. I've always thought he should've went to the WWF and wondered what his career would be like had it not ended so early. He really had the total package. Like the idea of a Magnum/Muraco, would be a good feud, imo. Slaughter/Shiek is solid and I really like what you've done with Valentine. Always thought he was under utilized. I'll be following this.

This is one of the best old school diaries on the board right now. I especially like it how you're slowly incorporating outside talent like Magnum TA, Chavo Guerrero, and Gary Hart. Hopefully you can get your hands on more Mid South and World Class stars like the Freebirds or the Midnight Express.

WWF Week 21, 1984...I'm skipping ahead because yolo. Greg Valentine with Lou Albano? Interesting pairing there. Jimmy Snuka and Valentine fought to a sixty minute draw? Sounds awesome. Should be interesting to see who wins this next match, I did like the demolishing of Salvatore Bellomo in Valentine's frustration though. Roddy Piper and David Schultz with Big John Studd sounds outstanding. Gary Hart as a manager eh? I like that you're taking your own spin on things, definitely. Interested in where we go from here with the six man tag team encounter. Chavo Guerrero eh? Very nice idea to have him get into Tito Santana's face, I figure Mil Mascaras has already departed, yes? Don Muraco feuding Magnum TA sounds delightful, but wasn't Magnum only a rookie at this point in time? Definitely a great idea to have Magnum come to the WWF though, he could be the void-filler that Hulk Hogan was meant to play. Superstar Billy Graham wants a title shot at Snuka eh? Sounds good, I see that match happening shortly, but there's no way Snuka's losing the WWF World Heavyweight Championship yet. Wow, Bob Backlund and Paul Orndorff's rivalries are still going on. Overall, things have changed a bit since the last time I read this and I like it a lot. Another addition to the roster I see is the young British Bulldogs; very nice! I'm wondering when the Hart Foundation decide to join.

WWF Week 22 1984
The Pledge of Allegiance It is no secret how much Sgt Slaughter loves the USA and how much The Iron Sheik hates it and it’s no surprise that these two are bitter enemies because of this, but things certainly reached a new unexpected level this week. The Iron Sheik picked up a victory on Championship Wrestling and after the match his manager Ayatollah Freddie Blassie came into the ring with an American Flag and laid it on the mat. Sheik then told the crowd this is what he thinks of America and began stomping and spitting on the flag, Blassie then pulled out a lighter and just as it looked like the flag was going to be set on fire Sgt Slaughter ran out and chased Sheik away. Slaughter said that this disgusting maggot and his traitor manager have stepped over the line this time. He said he was going to make them pay and they don’t disrespect the flag and America on his watch. Slaughter then led the crowd in the pledge of allegiance as the crowd gladly joined in and Slaughter saluted with emotion running down his face at pride in his country.
Sheik and Slaughter also faced off at the Boston Garden show, the match ended when Slaughter and Sheik spilled outside and Slaughter began using weapons to attack Sheik who fled the scene with garbage being pelted at him.
The Belt Means Everything This week Jimmy Snuka talked about how much being WWF Champion meant to him. He said this was validation of all the hard work, all the effort he has put into this sport. He said it was going to take a lot to tear this from him, he said he’s proven he’s willing to go an hour with an injured leg, it’s going to take a whole lot more than that to take this from him, he said he’ll go on for days with every single muscle in his body in pain and he’ll still be fighting to keep this title.
Both Snuka and his Madison Square Garden opponent Greg Valentine were in action on the Boston Garden show against old rivals. Snuka successfully defended his title against Don Muraco in a hard fought contest with the Superfly Splash whilst Greg Valentine and Bob Backlund once again squared off and went hold for hold in what ended up a double count-out. Valentine also continued his Figure Four challenge this week and challenger Jose Louis Rivera was unsuccessful.
Orndorff wants to send a Message Paul Orndorff said he is intent on sending a message to Backlund and anyone else who dares to step in his way. He said Backlund is a phony and that was exposed when Backlund violently assaulted him. He said Backlund is lucky he doesn’t have any scars on his photogenic face otherwise he’d really be in for it and then told Backlund he’d be lucky to be walking out when they square off the next time.
Pipers Pit with Andre the Giant Roddy Piper was doing his usual trash talking when his guest The British Bulldogs tag partner for their 6 man tag at the next Madison Square Garden show Andre the Giant came onto the set. Piper asked Andre where he had been hiding the past couple of months. Andre just stared at Piper, Piper said he had heard all about Andre but he wasn’t impressed and though Andre was simply an imbecile. Andre continued to stare at Piper and began to crack a smile. Piper said it appears Andre doesn’t understand words like imbecile but that’s alright because he has a gift for Andre and gave him a dictionary. Schultz then piped in and said Andre probably couldn’t even read, Piper and Schultz then began cracking up. Andre stood up and snatched the microphone from Piper. Piper then began screaming at Andre telling him if he knew how this works. Andre then grabbed Piper by the collar and told him he needs to shut his mouth before being attacked by David Schultz from behind, Andre then shoved Schultz to the ground and flipped over parts of The Pipers Pit set and ripped up the dictionary before walking off the set. Piper was yelling at Andre to get back here and fight like a man.
Magnum TA isn’t a fluke Magnum TA had an interview regarding his match with Don Muraco at the next Madison Square Garden show. TA says that Muraco thinks he’s a fluke, that he doesn’t belong in the ring with him. He said Muraco is just making excuses because he lost to the better man, he said he’s going to prove that he isn’t a fluke and that he is ready for this moment. He has been training all his life to be in a WWF ring and if Don Muraco is standing his way of reaching the pinnacle then he’ll happily step through him again at Madison Square Garden.
More matches at the Garden Chavo Guerrero was officially announced as the next contender for the Intercontinental Title at the June Madison Square Garden show. Guerrero had some choice words for Santana saying that he is the true representative of Mexico, he doesn’t hide from what he is and put on a show, he said Santana is an embarrassment and is being exposed as a fraud and then he’ll lose his title. Also added to the card was a contest between Superstar Billy Graham and The Tonga Kid.
A Posedown at The Garden Jesse Ventura made his in ring return this week on Championship Wrestling picking up a win. After the match he was interviewed by Gene Okerlund. Ventura asked Okerlund who had the most impressive body in the world. Okerlund told him Ivan Putski and Ventura looked furious at Okerlund who told him he was just giving his honest answer. Ventura told Okerlund that “Putz” was nothing but a joke, saying that Putski has a better body than him is like saying a chipmunk is fiercer than a wolverine. Ventura then said he has a posedown contest with Putski at the next MSG show and this will be a walk in the park and he’s going to show the world why they call him Jesse “The Body”.

Wrestling Observer Newsletter June
- The WWF had a bit of a down month over the last month with numbers down in the various hotspots. However the recent trend of receding numbers every month since Snuka's reign began seems to be coming to an end with numbers for the next few shows selling out a rapid pace with headline acts of Snuka/Valentine, Sheik/Slaughter & Backlund/Orndorff.
- The WWF officially signed Jesse Ventura over to the WWF and have began him in a program with Ivan Putski, they also brought Chavo Guerrero over to work the Northeast and manager Gary Hart who is managing Big John Studd and is expected to add more clients including Adrian Adonis & Dick Murdoch.
- Speaking of Hart, he may not be the only manager the WWF is looking to bring in, they've wanted to add more with their expanding ranks and have been looking at names like Bobby Heenan, Paul Ellering and Jimmy Hart.
- The WWF are also looking to bring in some celebrities to spice things up. Given Lou Albano's relationship with Cyndi Lauper, she is expected to at least make an appearance or 2. They have also been looking at celebrities affiliated with NBC given their partnership with them.
- As far as in ring talent goes, it appears they are holding up on the large influx that has come in over the first half of the year, don't expect anyone to debut in the company for another couple of months. The WWF feels they have enough talent to put on supercards across the country and they have been doing that recently with a fantastic show in Landover and another good show in Boston.
- Greg Valentine has been putting on some fantastic matches with Jimmy Snuka. As mentioned the numbers for Snuka's reign were starting to drop but it is felt Valentine is a large part of reinvigorating the reign to a degree. The one hour time limit draw is my early bid for match of the year and they managed to hold the crowd for the full hour.
- Salvatore Bellomo's contract expired and has not been renewed. He has departed from the company and it is felt he wasn't needed, nor was he really used other than an occasional job guy on Championship Wrestling.
- Roddy Piper has regularly been the star of the show on Championship Wrestling on his segment Piper's Pit. His chemistry with his partner David Schultz and his various guests are off the chart and Piper is expected to become a big star in the company.
