WWF Week 28, 1984...Classy decision to have Bob Backlund in the studio for a final farewell interview. I did love Roddy Piper intercepting though, that was a brilliant addition that is sure to get Piper over a lot in this time period. Meanwhile, it's great news that Paul Orndorff was chosen to be the next contender to Jimmy Snuka's WWF World Heavyweight Championship, I feel like he could actually be the man to beat Snuka and carry the company as the top bad guy on the block. And wow, Andre the Giant and the Iron Sheik are still feuding on-and-off. I'm hoping soon enough this will be their final encounter. His interview with Gene Okerlund sounded amusing, very comical. Haha, Roddy Piper having David Schultz on the show with a pet bulldog was classic. Very realistic, added that extra natural "essence" to their feud with the British Bulldogs. Wow, Gary Hart pulling apart the African-American friendly tag team of Rocky Johnson and Tony Atlas? This should be interesting, I always thought that Atlas was better off as a heel anyway. Hopefully Johnson doesn't just go back to squandering and losing to uprising heel stars on the roster after this feud with Atlas, though. Wow, Jesse Ventura wanting the WWF Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship? I like it, it sounds very interesting. Overall, it sounded like a good week for the World Wrestling Federation, a lot in motion. I'd like to hear a bit more from Magnum TA, he seems to be making quick progress working his way up the WWF ladder, and could easily be contending to the WWF World Heavyweight Championship by 1985. Good work, I'm still excited to read this even now.

Wrestling Observer Newsletter July
- Showdown at Shea was a huge success both financially and critically. The WWF went all out to put on its best show of the year and it drew good numbers both at the gate and on the USA network airing on tape delay. - Shea Stadium was set to be Bob Backlund’s last appearance with the company. Apparently he had some conflicts with McMahon and the direction of the company. There is also some thought that he will retire from wrestling entirely shortly. He is currently working dates for Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling and it is thought he will retire after those are completed. - Jimmy Snuka’s title reign has been going along well, the numbers across the major markets are going good, however the WWF are wanting to gain mainstream exposure and feel that perhaps someone like Sgt Slaughter or even Magnum TA, who has been a big success in his short time in the WWF have more of a crossover appeal with the mainstream. - Speaking of mainstream exposure the WWF are working in a number of celebrity appearances. The company has been namedropping Cyndi Lauper recently and it is expected she will make an appearance with the company when she has some free time. The WWF have also been looking at a number of other celebrities to make appearances as well as getting some of their wrestlers some exposure on some network television. - The WWF is looking to improve its Ladies division in order to bring more women into the audience. Lauper’s appearance is thought to be an attempt at that and Wendi Richter is expected to be the face of the division. They are also looking at bringing in more names into the mix. Judy Martin appeared at a recent event. Sherri Martel and Leilani Kai have also apparently been contacted. - In injury news Eddie Gilbert was injured earlier in the month having re-injured his neck and is thought to be out of action for close to one year. There is some talk that he may not return to the WWF or may not return to wrestling completely, as his contract is set to expire within that time. Chavo Guerrero also suffered a broken ankle in his match with Tito Santana in Los Angeles. The injury is expected to keep Chavo out of action for at least two months. - The WWF moved their Championship Wrestling tapings to The Mid-Hudson Center in Poughkeepsie, New York. They are also apparently looking around into moving the All-Star Wrestling tapings. - The expansion is also continuing as the WWF are looking into tapping into more markets. They have already purchased some slots on some out of town markets to air WWF programming. They are also set to run their first card in Canada as they are running a show at the Maple Leaf Gardens in August headlined by bouts between Jimmy Snuka and Greg Valentine as well as Roddy Piper & David Schultz taking on The British Bulldogs. The WWF also have a show scheduled for Chicago at the end of August headlined by a contest between Jimmy Snuka and Jesse Ventura.

Snuka & Orndorff Ready to Clash Paul Orndorff and Jimmy Snuka is fast becoming a heated rivalry over the WWF Heavyweight championship. Paul Orndorff defeated Tony Garea on Championship Wrestling this week and after the match grabbed a microphone. He said he didn’t want to wait, he wanted Jimmy Snuka to come out here right now. Snuka obliged and made his way to the ring and the two began brawling to end the edition of Championship Wrestling.
Earlier in the night Jimmy Snuka gave an interview regarding the match. Snuka said that Paul Orndorff has done a lot of talking since he’s arrived in the WWF. He said Orndorff is the one who retired Bob Backlund, one of his best friends in the WWF. He said this is a real clash of the titans and he would not hold back on Paul Orndorff. He said Orndorff has no class and that he is going to avenge Bob Backlund. He said he is going to shut Paul Orndorff up for good when they meet in that ring, because Jimmy Snuka is an animal and he is going to keep holding onto this WWF Heavyweight Championship.
Pipers Pit with Rocky Johnson Roddy Piper made a mention prior to introducing his guest regarding Bob Backlund and the occurrence last week. Piper said that Bob Backlund was a sham and if it wasn’t for the fact that Bob Backlund wasn’t employed by the WWF at that time he would’ve beaten him so bad. He mentioned Bob Backlund will never be mentioned again on this show as he doesn’t deserve the recognition for his cheap shot. Piper then introduced his guest “Soulman” Rocky Johnson. Piper said he saw what happened last week and thought Tony Atlas made the right choice, he said he always thought Rocky was holding down the team and when they fought with himself and Schultz, they’d always target Johnson because he was the weak link. He said he expects Johnson to flounder now without the support of Atlas and told Johnson that he should be ashamed of using Atlas like he did. Piper seemed in an irritated mood and wasn’t even letting Johnson talk instead just constantly degrading him. Johnson kept making yapping motions with his hand before finally grabbed the mic and asked if Piper was done. He said he felt betrayed by what Atlas did by aligning himself with Gary Hart, he said the two of them were best friends and he wished they could’ve talked this out but now they would do their talking in the ring and he‘d show Atlas made a mistake. Piper then grabbed the microphone back and told Johnson that this wasn’t how things worked and you don’t just snatch the microphone off the host, Piper then told Johnson to get off his show.
Magnum TA‘s Toughest Test Magnum TA will take on his toughest test at Madison Square Garden when he faces off with Greg “The Hammer” Valentine. Both men had words regarding this contest. First Greg Valentine, he said that Valentine was a superstar of the sport, the best athlete in the world. He said it was a disgrace that he had to be lowered to the standards of taking on someone like this wannabe tough guy who doesn’t even have the right to lace up his boots. Valentine said he was going to send Magnum back to whatever low rent place he came from. Magnum TA said people keep overlooking him and that’s ok with him. He said the reason he came to the WWF is that he wanted to face the best and Greg Valentine definitely has the credentials. Magnum says that he is going to prove he belongs in the WWF and prove that he can go toe to toe with the best.
The Superstar and The Sergeant Superstar Billy Graham and Sgt Slaughter will go one on one in a match between two of the top wrestlers in the WWF at Madison Square Garden in August. Both men had some words for the other. Superstar Billy Graham said that he had respect for Slaughter for being a former drill sergeant in the armed forces, but that was in the past and now Slaughter ain’t nothing but a sham, he should be called Sham Slaughter. Graham said that he was the top dog in the WWF, the shining star and he would shine brightest when the man with hour, the man with the power, too sweet to be sour defeats the sham. Sgt Slaughter said that Superstar Billy Graham likes to intimidate people with his strength and his trash talk. Well Sgt Slaughter isn’t intimidated by Superstar Billy Graham, he said he is going to bring it to that maggot Superstar Billy Graham.
Ventura‘s Eyeing the Gold Jesse Ventura sure has his eyes set on Tito Santana and the Intercontinental Championship. Tito Santana picked up a win on championship wrestling, after the match Jesse Ventura made his way to the ring for his match and the two got in an argument that had to be separated before things could get more out of hand. After his victory Jesse Ventura was interviewed about the incident and said that Chico Santana said he was scared of him and if he could he’d hand over the title to him right now so he didn’t have to face him in the ring. Gene Okerlund questioned whether Ventura was being authentic and Ventura said he was. Because he knows it, Santana knows it, Okerlund knows it and these fans know it that Jesse “The Body” is the man in the WWF and is the deserving Intercontinental Champion.
Moolah Wants Her Title Back The Fabulous Moolah had an interview about her return match with Wendi Richter at Madison Square Garden later in the month. Moolah said that she had held that title for 28 years and it is a downright shame that such a historic run has to come because some twinkie got lucky. She said Wendi Richter is a fluke and nothing more, Moolah said she can wrestle circles around Richter and will win that title once again and hold onto it even longer this time because she plans to be still wrestling when she’s 100 and still holding this belt.
Championship Wrestling 8/4 Wendi Richter defeated Princess Victoria in 4:31 with a Schoolgirl Rocky Johnson defeated Dave Barbie in 3:19 with a cross body Tito Santana defeated Ray Traylor in 3:08 with a Flying Forearm Jesse Ventura defeated Paul Roma in 2:49 with a Bodybreaker Pipers Pit with Rocky Johnson Sgt Slaughter defeated Charlie Fulton in 4:13 with a Cobra Clutch Interviews with Jimmy Snuka, Sgt Slaughter, Jesse Ventura & Greg Valentine Paul Orndorff defeated Tony Garea in 5:51 with a Piledriver

WWF week 30 1984
New WWF Tag Team Champions New WWF Tag Team Champions were crowned at the first ever WWF event held at the Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, Canada. The British Bulldogs who made their name in Canada picked up a victory over Roddy Piper and David Schultz to capture the tag team championships in front of a packed out Toronto crowd cheering on their favourites. The match at Madison Square Garden in just over a week will now be Piper & Schultz’ return match for the titles. The Bulldogs were emotional after their victory but they will now be defending the tag team championships the next time these two teams meet.
Pipers Pit with Paul Orndorff Prior to his losing of the titles Roddy Piper had as his guest Paul Orndorff. And in a twist of irony Piper was talking about how he and Orndorff would soon be champions together. Orndorff is taking on Jimmy Snuka at Madison Square Garden and used this opportunity to trash Snuka. Orndorff said he was the man who made Bob Backlund retire and if he had his way he would make that savage retire as well after he drops him with a piledriver and takes his WWF Championship. He said that you needed someone with a face like Paul Orndorff to be the face of the WWF not some Tarzan look-a-like because that’s bad for the WWF, people turn on the television and see Jimmy Snuka as champion and they think they’ve turned on some documentary on orangutans. Paul Orndorff gives the WWF someone that the ladies can admire and that the cheap WWF fans can look up to. Roddy Piper agrees and says Paul Orndorff would make a great champion, he mentions how he tried to call Jimmy Snuka’s family to be a guest on the show to talk to them about Snuka but all he heard was “ooh ooh ah ah” and didn’t think that’d be appropriate banter for Pipers Pit. He said he’d love to have Paul Orndorff’s family on Pipers Pit after he wins the title and in fact they should have the whole title celebration on Pipers Pit. Orndorff thinks that’s a great idea and embraces Roddy Piper with a hug before leaving the set.
Battle of the Undefeated? The Iron Sheik is still claiming to be undefeated prior to his match with Andre the Giant at Madison Square Garden. He says Andre the Giant is a fraud and that he has already defeated Andre at Madison Square Garden and that he’ll do it again. Gene Okerlund attempts to correct Sheik by informing him that Sheik is not undefeated as he lost to Sgt Slaughter just last month and that Andre claims to have never been pinned or submitted. Sheik’s manager Freddie Blassie then steps in and says the WWF should overturn the result to Sgt Slaughter and that wasn’t a real wrestling match that was a barbaric display and does not count towards either mans record. He then says it doesn’t matter what Andre claims to be, The Iron Sheik will make him submit to the Camel Clutch this time.
Friendship Means Nothing Rocky Johnson will be taking on his friend Tony Atlas at Madison Square Garden and had some words for his partner turned enemy. Johnson said that Tony Atlas wanted to throw out years of friendship and the great tag team that they were out the window. Johnson said that that hurt but that it wasn’t going to effect him when the two meet. He said the friendship was over and they’ll settle their differences in the ring and Johnson is going to look at Atlas like he does any other person he has to face.
The Pride of Mexico Tito Santana says that he carries the pride of all the Mexican people on his back every time he defends his Intercontinental Championship. He said he is proud to be Mexican and he hopes Mexico is proud of him. Santana’s opponent at Madison Square Garden Jesse Ventura had a rebuttal to that. Ventura said that Santana claims all this pride for Mexico. He said Mexico doesn’t care about Chico Santana as they are too busy trying to jump the border or hold up innocent civilians. He said he might as well carry the pride of a penitentiary. Ventura said Santana is going to meet some justice at the hands of the best body in professional wrestling.
Magnum Steps up for the Challenge Greg Valentine came out for his Figure Four Challenge. Accepting the challenge was Magnum TA. Magnum came down to the ring and Valentine looked less than thrilled. Magnum got on the ground and was begging Valentine to apply the Figure Four. Valentine started but then acted like he had an injury to his leg. Magnum got up and got in Valentine’s face, Valentine began to walk away but when Magnum turned around Valentine went to attack him, seemingly miraculously recovered. Magnum however foiled the attempt and tossed Valentine over the top rope right on his head. Valentine slammed the mat in frustration as Magnum celebrated to loud cheers.
WWF Championship Wrestling 8/11 The British Bulldogs defeated Charlie Fulton & Dave Barbie in 5:05 when Dynamite Kid pinned Barbie with a Diving Headbutt Sgt Slaughter defeated RT Reynolds in 2:52 with a Cobra Clutch Jesse Ventura defeated Steve Lombardi in 2:42 with a Bodybreaker Figure Four Challenge with Magnum TA The Iron Sheik defeated Spike Huber in 3:57 with a Camel Clutch Pipers Pit with Paul Orndorff Rocky Johnson defeated Rene Goulet in 4:01 with a Cross Body Interviews with Tito Santana, The Iron Sheik & Rocky Johnson
All-Star Wrestling The Wild Samoans defeated Joe Mirto & Terry Daniels in 5:26 when Afa pinned Mirto with a Headbutt Magnum TA defeated Ron Shaw in 2:52 with a Belly to Belly Suplex Bob Orton defeated Mario Mancini in 3:29 with a Superplex B. Brian Blair defeated Goldie Rogers in 2:39 with an abdominal stretch into an inside cradle Roddy Piper & David Schultz defeated Paul Roma & Robbie Parliament in 4:42 when Schultz pinned Roma with a Diving Forearm Ivan Putski defeated Butcher Vachon in 3:51 with a Polish Hammer Interviews with Jesse Ventura, Magnum TA, Superstar Billy Graham & Jimmy Snuka Greg Valentine defeated The Tonga Kid in 5:52 with a Figure Four Leg Lock
WWF at the Maple Leaf Gardens Tito Santana defeated Iron Mike Sharpe in 6:38 with a Flying Forearm to retain the WWF Tag Team Championships Adrian Adonis & Dick Murdoch defeated Rocky Johnson & SD Jones in 7:35 when Murdoch pinned Jones with a diving Knee Drop Magnum TA defeated Rene Goulet in 6:16 with a Belly to Belly Suplex Sgt Slaughter and Jesse Ventura fought to a double disqualification in 9:01 The British Bulldogs defeated Roddy Piper & David Schultz in 11:50 when Dynamite Kid pinned David Schultz with a Diving Headbutt to become the NEW WWF tag team champions The Iron Sheik defeated Pat Patterson in 7:54 with a Camel Clutch Andre the Giant defeated Big John Studd with a Splash in 8:32 Jimmy Snuka defeated Greg Valentine in 18:48 with a Superfly Splash to retain the WWF Heavyweight Championship

WWF Week 29, 1984...I'm really digging the Jimmy Snuka and Paul Orndorff feud. Orndorff's been built up enough that he is definitely a top contender to someone who really can take the WWF World Heavyweight Championship off of Snuka. Rocky Johnson's words about Tony Atlas was nice, and I liked how Roddy Piper and David Schultz were entwined in the segment as well. I do like Magnum TA's fast rise to superstardom, but I think you may be going a little too quickly. I hope he has a feud with Greg Valentine, rather than a victory that Magnum can then capitalize on moving forward from. Hmm, Sgt Slaughter and Superstar Billy Graham's match at Madison Square Garden sounds so full of main event potential. I'm hoping it extends into a rivalry of sorts, that could be very old school and very brutal. I wonder if you'll explore Jesse Ventura and experiment with him winning the WWF Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship, that would be solid. I don't see it happening though honestly, maybe instead it will help Tito Santana move forward and have the reputation of a fighting champion. I'm so glad that you've started focusing a little on the WWF Ladies Division, I don't see the Fabulous Moolah regaining the WWF World Ladies Championship though, however. Seemed like a decent week of television, simple progression as we get closer and closer to the August show at Madison Square Garden.
WWF Week 30, 1984...The best decision for a title change to take place up in Canada during the WWF's first tour up there. And there was no problem with the British Bulldogs winning the WWF Tag Team Championships either. Good decision, although I'd have even had them change hands in the Saddledome in Calgary, considering that that's where Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid are more established and over. This potentially allows Roddy Piper to move up the card in a singles career. Has Piper gotten bored of David Schultz already? Hahah. Good promo with Paul Orndorff on Piper's Pit. The formation of a team perhaps? I'd prefer it not to go down that way, but we'll see. The Iron Sheik continues his feud with Andre the Giant? Sigh, when will you learn Sheiky. Sheik's trying to be a traditional wrestler now? Whatever floats his boat. Nice hype up for the upcoming battle of former friends, Tony Atlas and Rocky Johnson. I hope that Johnson remains relevant, since heels in this time period seem to get over a lot bigger than the faces. Tito Santana and Jesse Ventura is the match I'm most excited for, actually. It'd be an incredibly dynamic match. And further build for Greg Valentine and Magnum TA, nothing to complain about honestly. I would have liked to see a write-up for the WWF at Maple Leaf Gardens, since it was their first show in Canada, but nevermind. I've noticed you've been cutting down in detail and other supercards in recent months; it seems like it works. Good work with this past fortnight of television.

WWF Week 31
Counting Down the Days Jimmy Snuka was interviewed about his match with Paul Orndorff at Madison Square Garden. Snuka was holding his title and said he sacrificed everything to get to this place, he said he was willing to sacrifice, willing to bleed and willing to go through everything that can be thrown at him to keep this title. He said that the punk Paul Orndorff was going to have to bring everything he’s got to take this title and that he couldn’t wait to get in that ring and wipe that smirk off Orndorff’s face because he was going to make sure he kept the WWF Heavyweight Championship. Paul Orndorff then showed up to the interview area and laughed at Snuka, he taunted Snuka and said he that his days were numbered. Orndorff said that Snuka hasn’t faced anyone quite like him and he’ll gladly destroy Snuka. Snuka then told Orndorff why don‘t they go here and now. Orndorff laughed and said that he wasn’t going to fight Snuka now, he wasn’t going to mess up the expensive clothing he was wearing and he isn’t a savage like Snuka, he told Snuka he’d get his at Madison Square and he could beat Snuka at anything and everything. Orndorff went to walk off before he blasted Snuka with a forearm, Orndorff delivered a couple of kicks before he was dragged off and restrained with Snuka shouting at Orndorff as he was dragged off.
Pipers Pit with The New and Improved Tony Atlas Roddy Piper welcomed Gary Hart to Pipers Pit. Gary Hart then welcomed his newest client Tony Atlas to the set. Atlas came in sporting an expensive suit and a new swagger. Atlas said it felt great to drop that 260lbs of dead weight in Rocky Johnson. He said he felt so much better now that he was under the guidance of Gary Hart. He said he was the new and improved Tony Atlas. Atlas then mentioned that Roddy Piper and David Schultz were the guys who took his tag team titles and maybe he’d like some payback for that. Atlas then stood up to get in Pipers face before David Schultz stepped in between. Atlas then started laughing and said “let bygones be bygones”. He, Piper, Schultz & Hart began laughing as they shook each others hands. Piper said Atlas looks a hell of a lot better on his own and he has nothing but respect for Tony Atlas and realised that he was the heart and soul of that team when they faced them. Atlas said there was only so much he could do with that deadweight Johnson. Tony Atlas said he was going to become a superstar on his own before leaving the set.
Piper & Schultz Ring in the Excuses Roddy Piper & David Schultz also gave an interview regarding their return match for the WWF Tag Team Championships. Schultz started off by saying that their “loss” happened in Canada so it should not count that The Bulldogs get to lay claim to the tag team championships, he said it was sickening that those two were carrying their belts. Piper then claimed that The Bulldogs were lucky, he said he and Schultz had come down with a fever that night probably from the Canadian water and were recommended by 2 separate doctors not to compete that night but the troopers and the competitors that they are just had to compete that night and that makes The Bulldogs victory tarnished and when Piper & Schultz win the titles back that there should be an asterisk next to the Bulldogs title reign as it was a fluke victory over guys carrying high fevers and that they would right a wrong in Madison Square Garden
Payback 5 Months In The Waiting Andre the Giant was interviewed and said he had been waiting for this moment for 5 months to get payback on The Iron Sheik. He said Iron Sheik claims a victory over Andre and that he is undefeated and that’s just not true. Andre says he has still never been pinned or submitted and he doesn’t plan on that happening to The Iron Sheik. He said there will be no way that The Iron Sheik can claim he is undefeated after Madison Square Garden
28 Years A Champion The Fabulous Moolah says she was Ladies Champion for 28 years and that doesn’t get erased because some bimbo comes in and gets lucky. She says that she knew that she was a great trainer but she didn’t know that she was this good for Richter was nothing without her. Moolah claims she will win her title back and whilst she was champion for 28 years, Richter will be champion for only 28 days.
The Top of the Mountain Sgt Slaughter and Superstar Billy Graham are two of the top superstars in the WWF who could potentially challenge for the WWF Heavyweight Title. Superstar Billy Graham gave a promo on the matter. He said that Sgt Slaughter may have all the talent in the world but he’s never been a champion and he never will be one and he will never reach the top of the mountain like Superstar Billy Graham because he doesn’t have what it takes like The Superstar does.
Only One Man Can Come Out On Top Greg Valentine and Magnum TA each had some words for the other prior to their bout at Madison Square Garden. Valentine said he wasn’t some stepping stone for some young punk to make his way to the top. Valentine said he is the best athlete in the world and that Magnum TA shouldn’t even be tying up his boots, he said Magnum had bit off more than he can chew and would realise he’s playing in the big leagues when he submits to the figure four.
Magnum TA said he came to the WWF for the challenge and the thrill of facing an athlete like Greg Valentine, he said he knows he has what it takes to beat Greg Valentine. He said he isn’t afraid or intimidated by no one much less Greg Valentine. He said the two of them will meet in the ring and Greg Valentine can try to back up his words because at Madison Square Garden the two of them will meet in the ring and only one man will have his hand raised and that man will be the better man on the night, he says he looks forward to the challenge.

WWF Madison Square Garden August 20 1984Gene Okerlund and Gorilla Monsoon are the commentators for this WWF show at Madison Square Garden. They mention that tonight we will see “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff challenge Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka for the WWF Heavyweight Championship. In addition to this we will also see Andre the Giant take on The Iron Sheik, Sgt Slaughter take on Superstar Billy Graham and Rocky Johnson take on his former partner and friend Tony Atlas. We then cut to Howard Finkel for the introductions. WWF Tag Team Championships The British Bulldogs defend vs. Roddy Piper & David SchultzThe Hype: The British Bulldogs have been feuding with Roddy Piper and David Schultz for months now. Roddy Piper & David Schultz were on top of the world as tag team champions before they received a challenge from the young British duo. Schultz & Piper managed to escape with their titles at Shea Stadium. The Bulldogs didn’t let that deter them though as they managed to pick up a victory at the tag team titles in the land where they crafted their work at the WWF’s first show in Canada. Now it is The Bulldogs defending the titles and Piper & Schultz are the one’s chasing tonight at Madison Square Garden. The Match: Roddy Piper and Davey Boy Smith started the match out, though Piper had no intention of engaging with The Bulldog, stalling for as long as he could. When the two finally tied up Piper backed up and claimed Davey Boy poked him in the eye. When the referee stepped in between Piper immediately jumped Davey Boy and started beating on him. David Schultz then was tagged in and went after Davey Boy bout received a counter for his troubles. Schultz was then dominated by The Bulldogs for a short time. Schultz and Piper attempted to get back in control of the match via dubious tactics but it didn’t work as The British Bulldogs were on fire. Dynamite Kid then locked in an Indian Death Lock on Schultz but he managed to make the tag to Piper who came in and attacked Kid as finally Piper & Schultz gained control. Piper & Schultz then proceeded to isolate Dynamite in their corner, using the 5 count to their advantage as they double teamed him. Dynamite looked in trouble before Schultz made a mistake as he missed a knee drop off the second rope allowing Dynamite to make the tag. Davey Boy then came in on fire taking down Schultz & Piper with some drop kicks. Dynamite then regathered himself as all hell broke loose in the ring with all 4 men going at it. Schultz managed to toss Dynamite from the ring and then tied up the referee as Roddy Piper took off the top turnbuckle cover. He went to send Davey Boy into the corner but got countered and instead went chest first into it and met with a belly to back suplex from Davey Boy. Schultz then went after Davey Boy but Dynamite attacked him and sent him out of the ring followed by Davey Boy delivering a Diving Headbutt to pick up the victory for his team. The Result: The British Bulldogs defeated Roddy Piper & David Schultz in 12:50 when Davey Boy Smith pinned Roddy Piper with a Diving Headbutt. The British Bulldogs Retain the WWF Tag Team Championships Piper & Schultz looked stunned as they rolled out of the ring disgusted. Following the match Gene Okerlund proceeded to interview the tag team champions. Davey Boy & Dynamite said it was a dream of theirs since they were kids to defend the WWF Tag Team Championships in Madison Square Garden and now they have. They said they’ve proven themselves and that they plan on defending these titles in Madison Square Garden a lot more. Magnum TA vs. Greg Valentine w/ Captain Lou AlbanoThe Hype: Magnum TA has been on quite the roll since arriving in the WWF defeating every one put in his path. He has captured the imagination of the WWF fans with his unrivalled intensity and a top personality to match. Now he faces his toughest test in Greg “The Hammer” Valentine. Valentine is one of the top athletes in the WWF having gone to wars with both Heavyweight Champion Jimmy Snuka & Intercontinental Champion Tito Santana in recent months. Valentine clearly has no respect for Magnum claiming that someone like him doesn’t even deserve to be in the same ring as him. Magnum will be looking for respect and another step up the ladder but will Greg Valentine be the man to stop him? The Match: Greg Valentine and Magnum and Valentine proceeded to lock in a headlock and looked awfully proud of himself doing so. However Magnum quickly turned the momentum around and put Valentine in a headlock. Valentine countered and tried to outwrestle Magnum, but Magnum was going hold for hold with Valentine. Valentine rolled out of the ring frustrated that he wasn’t able to gain the better of Magnum. The next portion of the match saw much of the same as Magnum was able to go hold for hold and move for move with Greg Valentine. Magnum then gained the advantage delivering blow after to blow to Valentine, finally Valentine had to resort to a rake of the eyes to gain the advantage. Valentine then grounded Magnum and began to work over him on the mat. Valentine proceeded to attempt to both pin and submit Magnum and was growing increasingly frustrated at his failed attempts to do so. Valentine then attempted to lock in the Figure Four but got kicked out of the ring. Magnum then proceeded to dominate Valentine by delivering punches and kicks and slamming him on the ground. Valentine however wasn’t going down easy himself and kept fighting back countering a Magnum TA suplex attempt with one of his own. Valentine then chopped down Magnum and began working on his leg. Valentine then managed to lock on the figure four and it looked like the match was over but Magnum kept fighting the hold and managed to reach the ropes breaking the hold. Valentine was visibly frustrated at his inability to put away the less experienced Magnum. Valentine then dragged Magnum into the middle of the ring and attempted another figure four however Magnum kicked him off and sent him flying into the top of the turnbuckle. Magnum then got up and delivered a Belly to Belly Suplex to pick up a hard fought victory with less than one minute remaining in the time limit. The Result: Magnum TA defeated Greg Valentine in 19:03 with a Belly to Belly Suplex Vince McMahon is backstage interviewing Jesse “The Body” Ventura prior to his Intercontinental Championship. Ventura said that he is the man in the man in the WWF and will take the Intercontinental Title from that pretty boy Chico Santana. He said Chico doesn’t know what he’s gotten himself into when he goes one on one with the man, the body and the legend that is Jesse Ventura. WWF Intercontinental Championship Tito Santana defends vs. Jesse VenturaThe Hype: Tito Santana has been beating all comers for his Intercontinental Championship, from Paul Orndorff to Greg Valentine he has fended off all challengers. Now a new challenger steps to the plate in Jesse “The Body” Ventura. Ventura arrived in the WWF only a few months ago and immediately made proclamations that he was going straight to the top. Gifted with an impressive physique Ventura is coming off a feud with Santana’s friend and former tag partner Ivan Putski in which he came out on top. Ventura has now set his sights on Santana and the Intercontinental Championship. Will Ventura manage to make good on his promise of going to the top or will Santana continue the run he has been on? The Match: Jesse Ventura jumped Tito Santana as he got into the ring and started beating down on him. Ventura began immediately working over Santana blasting him with shot after shot relentlessly. Ventura then lifted Santana onto his shoulders and dropped him and began flexing his muscles. Ventura then took Santana into the corner and began pounding on him there, Santana countered and gained the advantage for a short time before Ventura countered and gained the advantage again. Ventura then locked in a bear hug and continued to wear Santana down. Santana got out of the hold and proceeded to hit a few fleeting attacks before Ventura once again gained the advantage. Ventura once again wore Santana down with a bear hug. Ventura continued to wear down Santana and then unleashed a variety of moves including backbreakers, suplexes and slams trying to finish the match. Santana kept fighting back though and eventually gained the advantage and built some offence with dropkicks and a back drop. Ventura frustrated pulled out a pair of brass knuckles from his trunks and struck Santana with them with the referees back turned. Ventura tried to cover up the use of the brass knucks and pin Santana but the referee caught Ventura’s brass knucks and disqualified him. The Result: Tito Santana defeated Jesse Ventura in 13:55 by disqualification. Tito Santana retains the WWF Intercontinental Championshp Ventura was angry at the referees decision and argued with him. Ventura then went to beat up Santana more, frustrated at his inability to put Santana away after dominating him for the match. Santana however countered and went for the Flying Forearm but Ventura ducked and rolled out of the ring yelling at Santana as he backed up the ramp. Sgt Slaughter vs. Superstar Billy GrahamThe Hype: Sgt Slaughter and Superstar Billy Graham are both coming from different sides of the spectrum in more ways then one. Firstly their current form is different as Slaughter is coming off a victory in an absolute war with The Iron Sheik, defeating him at Shea Stadium in a strap match. Superstar Billy Graham also competed on that card losing to Jimmy Snuka in a match for Snuka’s heavyweight championship. Personality is also another area in which they differ. Sgt Slaughter carries a patriotic pride with him from his time in the armed forces for his country, whilst Superstar Billy Graham is a cocky, rebellious character who looks to put down his opponents with insults and there are few who can hang with Graham in the talking trash category. Finally they differ in their big match and championship experience. Whilst Slaughter has been in some big matches in his career, he has come up short in a lot of them never capturing a major championship. Superstar Billy Graham has been to the top of the mountain being a former WWF Heavyweight Champion. This match is sure to have WWF Heavyweight Title ramfications, can Slaughter finally reach the top or will Graham once again pick a victory? The Match: Sgt Slaughter & Superstar Billy Graham engaged in a test of strength to start the match which Graham easily won. Graham then engaged Slaughter in a tie up and easily backed him into the corner. Slaughter countered though and started delivering blows to Graham before whipping him into the other corner and meeting him with a backdrop. Graham got to his feet and was met with a stiff forearm and then a backbreaker putting him back on the ground. Slaughter began to work over Graham with punches and kicks. Slaughter then went to deliver a back suplex but Graham countered and crotched Slaughter on the top rope. Graham then took advantage of this and proceeded to inflict some punishment of his own in the form of chops and kicks. Graham then began working over Slaughter, keeping him grounded with the use of his power. Graham then locked in a Full Nelson and it looked like Slaughter was going to lose the match but he somehow powered out. Slaughter then started pounding Graham and hit the Slaughter Cannon but only got a two count as Graham put his feet on the ropes. Graham then gained the advantage back and went to deliver an overhead backbreaker hold but Slaughter countered, Slaughter then kicked Graham in the gut and locked in the Cobra Clutch. Graham attempted to fight the hold but couldn’t leading to Slaughter picking up the victory. The Result: Sgt Slaughter defeated Superstar Billy Graham in 12:17 with a Cobra Clutch The Fabulous Moolah was interviewed prior to her rematch with Wendi Richter. Moolah said that she was a champion for 28 years, that she was the greatest wrestler either male or female to grace this sport and had more talent in one hand then Richter had in her entire body. Moolah said it’s a travesty that we’ve went from someone as gracious, talented and humble as The Fabulous Moolah to someone as despicable as Wendi Richter and that’s a travesty she’s looking to correct tonight. WWF Ladies Championship Wendi Richter defends vs. The Fabulous MoolahThe Hype: The Fabulous Moolah was a champion for 28 years, she went into Shea Stadium defending against her student and protégé Wendi Richter. Richter managed to defeat her mentor and capture the WWF Ladies Champion from someone who she thought of as a motherly figure. Moolah didn’t take too lightly to that and is on a path to regain her title. Richter is looking to be a role model for all the young women whilst Moolah doesn’t care about that, she just wants to be champion through any means necessary. Will Richter continue on her path or will Moolah’s experience prove too much for Richter and gain back her title? The Match: Richter and Moolah started off with a tied up, Moolah easily manoeuvred around Richter and then took her to the mat. Moolah continued to control Richter with mat techniques. Richter finally found some momentum by countering a Moolah slam and proceeded to deliver elbows to Moolah. Richter then knocked Moolah down with a lariat. Richter then whipped Moolah into the ropes but Moolah countered and knocked Richter down, Moolah tried to pin Richter with a handful of the tights but Richter managed to kick out of it. Moolah then proceeded to stomp on Richter, then picked her up and whipped her into the ropes but Richter countered with a Sunset Flip to pick up the win. The Result: Wendi Richter defeated The Fabulous Moolah in 6:47 with a Sunset Flip to retain the WWF Ladies Championship Rocky Johnson was interviewed prior to his match with Tony Atlas. Johnson said he wished it didn’t have to come to this, he wished he and Atlas could’ve worked things out and still been friends. But they aren’t friends anymore and Johnson is going to have no troubles in taking down the man who he called his best friend and make him realise he made a big mistake because you don’t want a part of Rocky Johnson in this mood. Tony Atlas w/ Gary Hart vs. Rocky JohnsonThe Hype: This one is personal. Tony Atlas and Rocky Johnson were best friends and tag team champions. Up until recent months the team was going along smoothly, they lost the tag titles to David Schultz & Roddy Piper but everything still seemed to be going ok for the team, however Tony Atlas began to show signs of discontent. It all came to a boiling point at Showdown at Shea when Atlas, frustrated at another loss shoved Johnson to the mat. Rocky Johnson then came out on Championship Wrestling and looked to put this in the past before Atlas turned his back on Johnson, laying him out and siding with Gary Hart. Atlas has claimed that Johnson was holding him back from success as a singles star. Johnson said that he wanted to work things out with Atlas and feels betrayed with what Atlas did. This one is sure to be a nasty affair between friends turned rivals. The Match: Tony Atlas came to the ring wearing a new robe with his manager Gary and carrying a new swagger. Once the bell rung these two friends turned rivals started swinging for the fences, looking to hurt the other one. Atlas rolled out of the ring to escape the barrage but Johnson followed him and the two started brawling there. Johnson rolled Atlas in the ring but Atlas gained the advantage when Johnson followed him in there. Atlas dropped an elbow drop and then locked Johnson in a body lock attempting to squeeze the life out of him. Johnson fought out and started punching Atlas and delivered his patented Johnson shuffle to him. Johnson picked Atlas up and slammed him. Johnson then proceeded to up the speed delivering dropkicks and quick jabs to Atlas sending him to the outside again. Johnson once again followed Atlas to the outside, this time Gary Hart distracted Johnson allowing Atlas to ram Johnson into the ring pole head first busting him open. Atlas then rolled Johnson into the ring and began to work over the cut, repeatedly punching the area of the cut as blood continued to run down Johnson’s face. Atlas then proceeded to methodically dismantle Johnson, making sure to regularly deliver a blow to the busted open area. Johnson however wasn’t going down without a fight and he fought back even stunning Atlas a couple of times and nearly pinning him after hitting a power slam. Atlas however hit a violent lariat on Johnson and that was it as Atlas picked Johnson up and dropped him with a Gorilla Press Slam for the pinfall victory. The Result: Tony Atlas defeated Rocky Johnson in 12:52 with a Gorilla Press Slam After the match Atlas looked down at his fallen foe. Atlas decided to add insult to injury by delivering another Gorilla Press Slam. Atlas looked down at Johnson and stood over him whilst smearing the blood from Johnson’s head on his chest. Andre the Giant vs. The Iron Sheik w/ Freddie BlassieThe Hype: The Iron Sheik & Andre the Giant had a feud at the beginning of the year spanning several months that was never fully settled. Andre and Sheik traded DQ and Count-out victories in February and March. Sheik celebrated his count-out victory like he won the world series and claimed he would never face Andre again as he moved on to a bloody feud with Sgt Slaughter and Andre moved on to face Big John Studd. Sheik claims that Andre is a fraud and that he is no longer undefeated as Sheik has defeated him and instead Sheik insists he is the one who has never lost. Finally the WWF put together this long anticipated match in order to decide a winner once and for all. Will Sheik be the one to finally pin or make Andre submit or will Andre shut The Iron Sheik up once and for all? The Match: Sheik foolishly tried to rush in on Andre to start the match and Andre just laughed it off and shoved Sheik to the mat. Andre then tossed Sheik from one side of the ring to the other sending him sprawling all the way to the floor. Sheik tried to regather and come up with a new strategy but this one didn’t work either as Andre proceeded to rag doll Sheik. Andre then stepped right over Sheik added insult to injury. Andre then tossed Sheik into the corner and went to charge in but Sheik raised his knees into Andre’s back. Sheik finally grounded Andre and proceeded to stomp on him. Sheik then continued to work over Andre making sure he couldn’t get to his feet. Sheik went for a Camel Clutch but couldn’t wrap Andre up. Sheik though did manage to keep Andre grounded despite him attempting to push Sheik off. Sheik then locked in a sleeper hold and it looked like it was working until Andre picked Sheik up with him still on his back holding onto the sleeper. Andre then rammed Sheik into the corner, delivered a body slam and followed it up with a splash to pick up the win. The Result: Andre the Giant defeated The Iron Sheik in 9:46 with a Splash WWF Heavyweight Championship Jimmy Snuka defends vs. Paul OrndorffThe Hype: Jimmy Snuka has been the WWF Champion since the beginning of 1984. He has been a fighting champion taking on everyone in his path and coming out on top. Paul Orndorff may bet the toughest test yet. Orndorff is also having himself a great 1984, for a majority of the year Orndorff was engaged in a feud with Bob Backlund which saw Orndorff defeating Backlund in a steel cage match and ending Bob Backlund’s WWF Career. These two men are in the form of their lives and are set to engage in a battle for the top dog in the WWF. There can only be one, who will come out on top? The Match: Orndorff and Snuka started out with a tie up and were evenly matched. The two then engaged in another evenly match tie up before Orndorff tried to head butt Snuka but ended up hurting himself. Snuka then took over with some chops and a drop kick. Snuka whipped Orndorff into the ropes and leapfrogged him before being met with a stiff elbow on the rebound from Orndorff. Orndorff then whipped Snuka into the turnbuckle and proceeded to punch him in the corner. Orndorff then delivered a power slam to Snuka and looked in complete control. Orndorff went for the Piledriver early but Snuka countered it and sent Orndorff to the mat with a backdrop. Snuka then went to the top rope and went to deliver a diving cross body but Orndorff rolled out of the way and sent Snuka to the mat. Orndorff then controlled proceedings with a firm headlock on Snuka. Orndorff continued to wear down Snuka making him exert energy to kick out and escape from holds for the next couple of minutes. Orndorff then delivered a vertical suplex with force and then began to taunt Snuka. This ended up costing Orndorff as Snuka delivered a small package nearly pinning Orndorff. Orndorff was now frustrated and started kicking at Snuka. Orndorff tried to deliver another vertical suplex but Snuka blocked it and delivered a power slam. Snuka delivered some chops and then whipped Orndorff into the corner and followed him in with a splash. Snuka then hit a diving cross body successfully this time but Orndorff kicked out. Snuka then hit some chops to Orndorff and followed it up with a head butt which knocked Orndorff from the ring. Snuka moved over to pull Orndorff back in but Orndorff instead pulled Snuka out, the two began to brawl on the outside. Snuka then delivered a scoop slam to Orndorff and got back into the ring. Snuka the decided to take a leap of faith and dove right over the top rope, Orndorff however moved and Snuka landed on his head. Orndorff then rolled into the ring as Snuka was counted out giving Orndorff the victory. The Result: Paul Orndorff defeated Jimmy Snuka in 14:16 by count-out. Jimmy Snuka retains the WWF Heavyweight Championship Paul Orndorff celebrated like he won the title and even grabbed the title and raised it over his head. The more pressing concern was Jimmy Snuka who had not moved since his dive went wrong. Snuka then had to be helped to the back and when the referee tried to take the WWF Heavyweight Title off of Orndorff and tell him he didn’t win the belt he was shocked. Orndorff then went and chased down Snuka who was being helped to the back and began to beat him down. Orndorff continued to deliver blows and had to be restrained, but the damage had been done. Snuka had retained the title but at what cost?

Wrestling Observer Newsletter August
- WWF business is continuing to grow. The WWF made their first full card appearance in Canada with a good crowd packed in at the Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto to see another great Snuka/Valentine match and The British Bulldogs winning the WWF Tag Team Championships off of David Schultz & Roddy Piper. The WWF is set to venture into Chicago next week and they also are set to venture to Atlanta, Minneapolis, Miami and Nashville in September and October as they continue their growth across North America as they continue to gain more markets in the television medium as they have continued to buy out slots on various networks across the US and Canada. - The decision to put the WWF Tag Team Championships on The British Bulldogs is a bit of a surprise since they are still relatively young. But they have continued to grow in popularity in the WWF and have a wealth of experience already around the world. Piper & Schultz are expected to become feature players in the singles main event scene following their loss. - Tony Garea departed the WWF this past month, the former 5 time tag team champion was getting lost in the mix given all the new wrestlers in the mix. - Speaking of new wrestlers the WWF has gotten in contact with several new wrestlers to join the company. One of the names expected to debut with the company is The Junkyard Dog who is a wildly popular character in the mid-south region. He has been telling people he is going to work with the WWF so expect him to debut shortly. A couple of more surprising names have also been rumoured to appear. Larry Zybysko has apparently been telling people that he is going to the WWF, but that could just be Zybysko stirring the pot as he has been mentioning leaving all year in order to gain leverage. Vince McMahon apparently was seen in Dallas as well talking to some stars from WCCW including The Fabulous Freebirds and Kerry Von Erich. These also seem unlikely though especially Von Erich who is happy working in his family territory, but the allure of being a star in the WWF may be big enough. The Freebirds are more likely than Von Erich and have also mentioned that they’d love to wrestler the British Bulldogs, but also seem happy in WCCW. - The WWF has also been looking at gaining more managers. Mr. Fuji appears to have taken on a managerial role over the past month as he has appeared in the corner of Tiger Chung Lee in a suit and hasn’t wrestled. The WWF are also looking at outside sources for managers. - The Ladies division is also expanding, the WWF recently signed Judy Martin and Leilani Kai. Sherri Martel and Candi Devine are other names being considered for the expansion. - Cyndi Lauper has also mentioned she will making some appearances in the WWF in the not too distant future. The WWF thinks Lauper can attract a more mainstream appeal, expect her to also make an appearance after she finishes off some concerts. - Roddy Piper, Jimmy Snuka & Magnum TA are set to star in an episode of the NBC hit The A-Team. They are set to begin filming the episode in October in a sort of a crossover. Again this is the WWF’s attempt at gaining some mainstream exposure.

WWF Week 32 1984
A Phone Interview with Jimmy Snuka On Championship Wrestling this week we had a studio phone interview with Jimmy Snuka. This followed highlights of the Jimmy Snuka/Paul Orndorff match at Madison Square Garden where Jimmy Snuka lost via countout after leaping over the top rope and knocking himself out after landing on his head, injuring his neck in the process. Snuka was unable to attend the show and instead was interviewed whilst he was recovering. He was asked about his condition and whether that would affect Snuka’s title reign. Snuka said he was hurting but that that wasn’t going stop him. He said it was going to take a lot more than a concussion and injured neck for him to relinquish his title. He said he’d be back in action in no time and defending this belt in no time. He said he couldn’t wait to get his hands on Paul Orndorff for everything he’s done and finish this once and for all.
Orndorff is Going to Cripple Snuka Paul Orndorff gave an interview on Championship Wrestling in retort to that. Orndorff said that Snuka’s title reign was coming to a close. He said the job was only half done but at Madison Square Garden he was going to finish the job. And when he means he is going to finish the job, he doesn’t just mean he was going to win the title, no he was going to cripple Jimmy Snuka and break his neck for good with the Piledriver, force him to retire just like Bob Backlund and we’d finally be ridding the WWF of the trash and have a champion with some class.
Pipers Pit with Superstar Billy Graham Superstar Billy Graham was the guest on this weeks Pipers Pit and was met with some surprising scorn from Piper. Piper showed a clip of Graham losing to Slaughter at Madison Square Garden and said that Superstar Billy Graham is a shadow of his former himself. He called Billy Graham washed up and if he couldn’t beat some stiff like Sgt Slaughter then he should just give up the game. Superstar Billy Graham was looking like he was getting enraged as Piper continued insulting him before he finally stood up and grabbed the microphone off of Roddy Piper and started poking him in the chest. Graham told Piper that he have a mouth on him but at least he always backed it up, he said when he trashed talk they were fighting words and he’d back up those words in the ring. Graham said Piper was nothing but a loud mouthed punk who had never backed up anything he says. He says if you talk to Billy Graham like that you better back it up in the ring with him. He then challenged Piper to a match whilst pointing his finger right in his chest. All the while the crowd was going wild at this turn of events. David Schultz then stepped in front of Piper and said you don’t disrespect Roddy Piper and you don’t touch him on Pipers Pit. Graham said Piper was hiding behind his lackey and Schultz sucker punched Graham. Graham began fighting back but Piper pulled Schultz off and ducked out of harms way as the crowd had erupted.
Santana has no Quit in Him Tito Santana will be taking on Jesse Ventura in a rematch at Madison Square Garden in September. Ventura was interviewed and said he should be the Intercontinental Champion right now. He said he dominated their match last time and he was disqualified for something the referee didn’t even see, which was the biggest sham he’d ever seen. He said he’d do the same thing again to Chico Santana. He said prove without a shadow of a doubt why Santana is Chico and he is The Man.
Tito Santana was interviewed next and said Jesse Ventura through everything he had at him and Santana kept fighting back. Santana said that he had no quit in him, he said he didn’t care what Ventura did he was going to keep fighting back. He said that Ventura had to resort to using brass knuckles when he couldn’t get the job done on his own. He said he’s not surprised at Ventura’s actions says when it comes down to mano y mano at Madison Square Garden that Tito Santana would be the one to come out on top. Arriba.
Tony Atlas Sneak Attacks Magnum TA Magnum TA picked up a victory on Championship Wrestling and after the match Gene Okerlund came to ringside to interview Magnum TA. Magnum TA said he was hungry and ready for some competition. He said he thrived on competition and the WWF was where all the competition is. He said he’s worked hard all his life, spent all those hours training in the gym to get his shot and he was going to make the most of it. He said he was willing to face anyone and everyone, he said it didn’t matter because he is ready for the moment and he believes he can beat them all. Magnum TA then began signing some autographs for some children in the crowd. When Tony Atlas showed up and attacked Magnum TA from behind, Gary Hart began barking orders at Atlas as he threw Magnum in the ring. Tony mounted Magnum and began punching him. Hart then began talking to Okerlund and said he shouldn’t be wasting his time with that beach bum he should be talking to the most physically gifted, talented athlete in the world Tony Atlas. Atlas was punching Magnum who began fighting back to roars from the crowd. Magnum then grabbed Atlas and tossed him from the ring. Magnum was yelling at Atlas to get back into the ring but Atlas and Hart decided discretion was the better part of valour and got out of harms way.
New Challengers For the Tag Team Titles Another match was announced to be taking place at Madison Square Garden in September as The British Bulldogs would be defending their tag titles against the former 3 time tag team champions The Wild Samoans. The Wild Samoans were interviewed alongside their manager Captain Lou Albano who did all of the talking as The Samoans stood in the background. Albano said standing behind him are 650 pounds of pure power. He said they are the three time tag team champions and have experience, strength, skill and just about everything else over The Bulldogs and at Madison Square Garden these Samoans are going to squish the Bulldogs.
The British Bulldogs also gave an interview and said that The Wild Samoans are one of the greatest tag teams of all time, but it’s The British Bulldogs time now as they look to become one of the all time greats. They said that the Bulldogs and The Samoans are a clash of styles, that they don’t have the size or strength of The Wild Samoans, but they have the speed, the technique and most importantly the heart and the support of all of these fans.

WWF Week 33 1984 Paul Orndorff in the Gym [/color][/size] This week from the Update Centre we had an in depth look at Paul Orndorff preparing for his WWF Championship rematch. Orndorff was lifting some weights and then began flexing. Orndorff says this is where he goes everyday of the week to train. He said this is how you get a body like he does, then he corrected himself saying no one has a body like he does. Orndorff said that all the fat ugly people cheering for Jimmy Snuka could only dream of having a body like this and the only thing that could make this body better is the WWF Title on it. He said that will happen sooner rather than later and he is not going to just defeat Jimmy Snuka he is going to decimate him, he is going to pick him apart and break his neck for good, forcing him to leave. He said finally the WWF can have a champion to be proud of, because nobody works harder than Mr Wonderful and he is going to show the world why they call him Mr Wonderful. Superstar is Teaming with Slaughter[/color][/size] Following last weeks Pipers Pit, a match has been made between Sgt Slaughter teaming with Superstar Billy Graham to take on the former WWF Tag Team Champions Roddy Piper & David Schultz. Superstar Billy Graham & Slaughter gave an interview regarding this unexpected tag match. Graham started and he said he couldn’t wait to get his hands on Piper & Schultz after their actions on Pipers Pit. He said he has great respect for his tag partner Sgt Slaughter and when they fought in Madison Square Garden last month, he went toe to toe with a man he respected and will be glad to team with to take down that loudmouth Piper and that stooge Schultz. He said he’s still the man with the power, the man of the hour, too sweet to be sour Superstar Billy Graham and he still has what it takes. Sgt Slaughter then spoke and said that Superstar Billy Graham and Roddy Piper both have a big mouth on them, but Superstar Billy Graham always carries respect and always backs it up by being a man and fighting you in the ring. Piper on the other hand is a coward, hides behind his maggot bodyguard David Schultz, whilst showing no respect for his opponents. He said he also respects Billy Graham and what he has done, he however does not respect that foul mouthed, disrespectful worm of a maggot in Roddy Piper and his redneck with his head too far up Pipers backside David Schultz. He claims that he and Superstar Billy Graham are a dream team and will put an end to Piper & Schultz. Pipers Pit Interrupted[/color][/size] The Slaughter/Graham and Piper/Schultz rivalry continued on Pipers Pit when Roddy Piper read out “letters” from people writing in about his actions against Billy Graham and other superstars. One of the letters was apparently from Graham’s “granddaughter”. Piper read that Graham’s granddaughter didn’t want him to insult her grandfather and didn’t want him to hurt Graham and knock out his false teeth. He then read out another one from Graham’s “retirement village” this letter also begged Piper not to hurt Graham because Graham didn’t have enough money to get a good retirement home and thus they didn’t have the proper supplies to account for the beating that Roddy Piper and David Schultz would inflict on Graham. Sgt Slaughter then stormed onto the set and told Roddy Piper to shut his loud disrespectful mouth. Schultz then stepped up to Slaughter and Slaughter said it’s clear who wears the pants in this relationship and who wears the skirt. Schultz and Slaughter then began brawling on the set, before Piper started laying kicks into Slaughter’s back. Schultz and Piper then walked off the set leaving Slaughter on the ground. Tony Atlas Wants the Spotlight on Him[/color][/size] Tony Atlas and his manager Gary Hart gave an interview regarding Atlas’ attack on Magnum TA last week and their upcoming match at Madison Square Garden. Atlas said that Magnum TA is getting all the attention despite not achieving anything. Atlas said that he has twice the looks, twice the strength and twice the skill of Magnum TA, he said Atlas should be the one being interviewed after his match because he is the best thing going and a future star in the company. Hart added onto that by saying Tony Atlas was the most physically gifted athlete in any sport today. He said that Magnum TA is nothing but an overrated punk on a free ride. He said the free ride will come to an end at Madison Square Garden when Tony Atlas demolishes Magnum TA. Ventura Gains an Advantage[/color][/size] Tito Santana had a match on Championship Wrestling against Charlie Fulton. Santana had the upper hand before Jesse Ventura interfered and attacked Santana causing a disqualification. Ventura and Santana then began fighting in the ring before Ventura nailed Santana with a low blow. Ventura then began smiling and posing over Santana before stomping on his head and walked out of the ring shouting at Santana that “The Man was going to take the belt from Chico” The Rest of the Madison Square Garden Card[/color][/size] Two more matches were announced to be occurring at Madison Square Garden in September. First is Greg “The Hammer” Valentine taking on Rocky Johnson. Valentine gave an interview about this match. Valentine said he may be down on his luck lately, he’s had a lot on his mind. He’s been very busy attending A-List parties and getting with some women and he hasn’t been focusing on his wrestling correctly. Valentine said that has changed and there is no way he is losing to that orang-utan Rocky Johnson at Madison Square Garden. Valentine said he’ll turn it all around now and that he is focused on his wrestling and finally getting a championship around his waist. He warns Johnson and everyone that you don’t want to mess with a motivated Greg Valentine. Another match was announced for Madison Square Garden that will see Andre the Giant take on the team of Adrian Adonis & Dick Murdoch. Andre the Giant gave an interview and said that it is more fun taking on two people than one. He said Adonis & Murdoch are contenders for the tag titles and definitely a threat, but he says he doesn’t mind taking on two people and that no one man has beaten him, he said he may even beat three men as he’ll take it out on that woodpecker Gary Hart as well if he has to.

Pipers Pit with Jimmy Snuka The guest on this weeks edition of Pipers Pit was none other than the current WWF Heavyweight Champion Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka. Right off the bat it was clear there was animosity between the champ and Piper and his bodyguard David Schultz. Piper mentioned that Jimmy Snuka is carrying an injured neck after his match with Paul Orndorff and showed a clip of Snuka injuring his neck. Piper claimed there was no way Snuka was going to retain his WWF Championship with an injured neck against someone the calibre of Paul Orndorff, Piper said it’s a miracle that Snuka has even held the belt this long and called this a black mark on the history of the WWF Heavyweight Championship. Snuka said he didn’t care what Piper had to say, no one cared what Piper had to say and that he should just shut up. He said after he beats Paul Orndorff he will happily defend the title against Piper and beat him as well, he’ll even beat both Piper and his dog David Schultz as well if he had to. Piper looked angry and said that there was no need to resort that and he was going to extend the olive branch to Snuka, Piper said it wasn’t going to be an actual olive branch as Snuka would probably eat it, it was a metaphorical one and he told Snuka to look up metaphorical and said he had a gift for him that would remind him of home. Piper then pulled out a coconut and extended it to Snuka. Snuka told Piper he can shove that coconut where the sun don’t shine. Snuka then got up to leave but Schultz blasted him from behind, Snuka then started brawling with Schultz before Piper blasted Snuka right in the injured neck with the coconut. Piper and Schultz then walked away leaving Snuka down and out on the ground.
Paul Orndorff has a New Manager On Championship Wrestling this week Paul Orndorff came to the ring by the aide of a man. Orndorff introduced Bobby “The Brain” Heenan to the WWF crowd and announced that from now on Bobby Heenan would be his personal adviser. Orndorff said if there was one man that was smarter than Mr Wonderful and deserves to be at ringside during his matches it would be Bobby Heenan. Heenan said that he was taking Mr Wonderful straight to the top and he was going to ensure that Jimmy Snuka doesn’t get himself counted out again. He said that no one matches the physical prowess of Paul Orndorff and no one has the talent to back it all up and it was his honor to be the personal adviser to Mr Wonderful.
Magnum TA is Ready for a Dog Fight Magnum TA gave an interview regarding his match with Tony Atlas at Madison Square Garden. Magnum said that Tony Atlas made the biggest mistake of his life when he attacked Magnum TA from behind a couple of weeks ago. Tony said that was a cowardly act and if he was a real man he would’ve challenged to him a match. Now after his assault he was going to get a scrappy dog fight. Magnum TA is going to unleash the rage he has built up on Tony Atlas and he knows that weasel Gary Hart is right in Tony’s ear telling him what to do, if he wants to get involved as well he has no problem taking him out as well.
Junkyard Dog Makes His Debut The Junkyard Dog made his debut on Championship Wrestling. He came out wearing a chain around his neck and made an immediate impression on the WWF fans. Junkyard Dog gave a promo after his match, Dog said that the World Wrestling Federation was about to get a little wild, a little funky as The Junkyard Dog had arrived and he was going to take the World Wrestling Federation by storm. He then began barking as the crowd barked along. Fabulous Moolah’s Alliance The Fabulous Moolah announced that she was forming an alliance of female wrestlers to take on and defeat Wendi Richter, she announced her first protégés were Judy Martin & Leilani Kai. She said she had no problem teaching someone with no talent like Wendi Richter and giving her all the advice she needed to get a fluke win over Moolah she would have no problem teaching people with actual talent in Judy Martin & Leilani Kai. She said Richter was a disgrace of a champion and it would only be a matter of time before one of these women managed to take the gold.
Andre the Giant Can Beat as Many Men as You Throw at Him Andre the Giant will be taking on two men as he faces off against Dick Murdoch & Adrian Adonis at Madison Square Garden. Andre said he has no problem facing two men, he said he’s beaten two, three, four men before and he actually enjoyed the challenge of taking on two men as sometimes one can get a little boring and the more people he can fight the merrier. He said he wishes Murdoch & Adonis the best but he doesn’t intend on having his first pinfall or submission loss to any man or men anytime soon.

Advantage Paul Orndorff [/color][/size] Jimmy Snuka competed in a rare appearance on Championship Wrestling, picking up a victory over Charlie Fulton despite a neck injury suffered at the hands of Paul Orndorff. Paul Orndorff decided to attempt to further injure the neck by attacking Snuka after the match. Snuka attempted to fight back and the fight spilt to the floor. Bobby Heenan then distracted Snuka, Orndorff then kicked Snuka and delivered a Piledriver right on the floor. Snuka was in clear pain as Orndorff walked off proud of his work. Earlier in the night Jimmy Snuka delivered a promo with a lot of heart behind it. He said he had fought too much for too long, he said he had too much heart. He said he wasn’t going to let neck injury hold him down, he said Orndorff was going to have to break his neck and then Snuka would still fight back. He’d still keep coming at Paul Orndorff. He said he had too many people depending on him for this to be his last Championship defense. He wasn’t going to let them down and he wasn’t going to let himself down. He said he had fought for too long to be at this point and he wasn’t going to give it up without a serious fight. Unlikely Partnership[/color][/size] Sgt Slaughter & Superstar Billy Graham seem like a bit of an odd couple. The pairing will be taking on Roddy Piper & David Schultz in a tag team match at Madison Square Garden. Slaughter & Graham gave a promo regarding their opponents. Slaughter said two things brought he and Graham together, the first was a respect for the other, the second was a mutual shared disgust of Roddy Piper & David Schultz. They said that makes them a great team and that means Piper & Schultz are in for a world of hurt. Graham said he was proud to be teaming with someone like Sgt Slaughter. He said he was known to talk a lot but he always backed it up, Piper just ran his mouth and never backed it up. He said that he and his trained dog David Schultz were going to be victim to the tough drill sergeant and the man with the 22 inch pythons. Pipers Pit with Gorilla Monsoon[/color][/size] Gorilla Monsoon was the guest on this edition of Pipers Pit. Piper welcomed Monsoon as the former tough guy wrestler and current commentator looked reluctant. Piper said that Gorilla Monsoon was a disgrace to all old wrestlers. Piper said that Monsoon was an out of shape loser who could never hack it as a wrestler so he decided to hide behind a desk and deliver some truly woeful commentating. Piper said that maybe he and Schultz should provide commentary and they are actually entertaining and people actually want to listen and see them as Pipers Pit is the highest rated segment on all of television. Gorilla asked Piper if he was done talking and said that he wasn’t hiding behind a desk and that rather he enjoyed watching and commentating on guys like Sgt Slaughter, Jimmy Snuka & Superstar Billy Graham. He said he’d enjoy watching Slaughter & Graham beat the snot out of Piper & Schultz and enjoy commentating on that. Piper said that he’d have to wait until hell freezes over for that to happen and to expect to be disappointed. Piper said the only thing Gorilla has ever gotten correct is his name because he is the epitome of a “Gorilla”, Monsoon began to talk but Piper cut him off and said that this segment was over and told Monsoon to march back to his commentating position now. Tony Atlas and Magnum TA are Full of Hate [/color][/size] Tony Atlas & Magnum TA flat out don’t like each other. On Championship Wrestling this nearly led to a brawl. Magnum TA had picked up a victory and Tony Atlas was scheduled to compete next, the two had a staredown in the aisle that got heated. Eventually Gary Hart had to step between the two and several officials separated the two. Tony Atlas also gave an interview with his manager Gary Hart by his side. Atlas said that he was going to destroy Magnum TA, he said he flat out didn’t like him and that he needed to make a statement. He said he was the most physically impressive specimen in the world, the strongest, the toughest, the most amazing athlete in the world. Gary Hart then spoke up, he said that “Mr. USA” was not a good enough nickname to describe the prowess of Tony Atlas, he said he was more fitting of “Mr Universe”. He said he was going to squish Magnum TA like the bug that he was. Quest for the Gold[/color][/size] Jesse Ventura said at Madison Square Garden he would complete his quest for the gold. He said he was going to take that belt off of that mosquito Chico Santana and put the belt on a man, the man to be precise. Ventura said that no one has the skills, body or hair of Jesse Ventura and when people look at him, they think world champion, when they look at Chico Santana they think of their taco vendor. He said it is time for the belt to go onto a champion and a man. The Rest of the Madison Square Garden Card[/color][/size] There are several other matches taking place at Madison Square Garden next week. Greg “The Hammer” Valentine will be taking on Rocky Johnson. Valentine claims Johnson is a chump and not even in his league, he said he shouldn’t even have to face someone like Johnson. Johnson said he is looking to make a statement, he said he wanted to be a singles star and he would defeat Valentine. Also on the card The Wild Samoans will take on The British Bulldogs for the WWF Tag Team Championships. The Wild Samoans gave an interview with their manager Lou Albano about the match. Albano said that The Samoans were the greatest tag team of all time, 3 time tag team champions whilst The Bulldogs were a flash in the pan. Albano said the greatest tag team was about to get greater with their 4th title reign. ResultsChampionship Wrestling 9/22The Wild Samoans defeat Paul Roma & AJ Petruzzi in 5:01 when Afa pins Petruzzi with a Headbutt Magnum TA defeats Carl Fury in 3:25 with a Belly to Belly Suplex. After the match Magnum TA and Tony Atlas had a staredown in the aisle Tony Atlas defeats Mario Mancini in 1:48 with a Gorilla Press Slam Junkyard Dog defeats Terry Gibbs in 3:26 with a Powerslam Pipers Pit with Gorilla Monsoon Adrian Adonis & Dick Murdoch defeat SD Jones & Steve Lombardi in 5:01 when Adonis pins Jones with a Diving Knee Drop Interviews with Jimmy Snuka, Tony Atlas, Sgt Slaughter & Superstar Billy Graham and Jesse Ventura Jimmy Snuka defeats Charlie Fulton in 5:44 with a Superfly Splash. Following the bout Paul Orndorff delivers a Piledriver to Jimmy Snuka on the outside. All-Star WrestlingRoddy Piper & David Schultz defeat Nick DeCarlo & Joe Mirto in 4:37 when Piper makes Mirto submit to the Sleeper Rocky Johnson defeats Gino Carabello in 3:19 with a Boston Crab Iron Mike Sharpe defeats Jose Louis Rivera in 5:06 with a Forearm Smash Magnum TA defeats Ray Traylor in 2:42 with a Belly to Belly Suplex The Iron Sheik defeats Robbie Parliament in 2:54 with a Camel Clutch Big John Studd defeats Spike Huber 2:54 with a Bearhug Interviews with Greg Valentine, The Wild Samoans, Rocky Johnson and Jimmy Snuka Sgt Slaughter defeats Jerry Valiant in 5:21 with a Cobra Clutch WWF at The Philadelphia SpectrumJesse Ventura defeats Rocky Johnson in 8:55 after hitting Johnson with a pair of Brass Knuckles Superstar Billy Graham defeats Don Muraco in 9:15 with a Full Nelson Adrian Adonis, Dick Murdoch & Big John Studd defeat The British Bulldogs & Ivan Putski in 12:25 when Studd pins Dynamite Kid with a Boot to the Face Magnum TA defeats Bob Orton in 7:41 with a Belly to Belly Suplex Tony Atlas & Sgt Slaughter fight to a double disqualification in 9:04 Tito Santana defeats Greg Valentine in 14:20 with a Flying Forearm to retain the WWF Intercontinental Championship Andre the Giant defeats David Schultz in 8:55 with a Splash Jimmy Snuka defeats Paul Orndorff via disqualification in 8:38 to retain the WWF Championship [/center] [/font]

Madison Square Garden September 24 1984 Commentators Gorilla Monsoon & Gene OkerlundGorilla Monsoon & Gene Okerlund welcome us to another packed Madison Square Garden card presented by the WWF. They mention that tonight we will see Jimmy Snuka take on Paul Orndorff for the WWF Heavyweight Championship. They mention we will also see Roddy Piper & David Schultz team up to take on Sgt Slaughter & Superstar Billy Graham. They send it to Howard Finkel whom they mention has news regarding the Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship bout scheduled for tonight. Finkel mentions that Jesse Ventura has been hospitalised due to a mystery illness and will be unable to make it tonight for his bout with Tito Santana. Okerlund says that Santana has accepted a bout with replacement The Iron Sheik in order to not disappoint the fans. He then begins introductions for the first bout. Rocky Johnson vs. Greg Valentine w/ Capt. Lou AlbanoThe Hype: Greg Valentine has been on a rough streak of losses as of late losing out on his bids to capture the WWF Heavyweight and WWF Intercontinental Championships as well as suffering a defeat to Magnum TA last month. Rocky Johnson has also been on a bit of a downer as he recently suffered a brutal split with long time tag partner and friend Tony Atlas, whom picked up a victory over him last month. Both of these two men will be looking to change their fortunes tonight. The Match: Greg Valentine was disrespectful to Rocky Johnson, stalling to begin and even spitting towards Johnson before backing off. When they finally engaged Valentine gained the advantage with his superior technique. Johnson however wasn’t totally mismatched as he used his speed with moves like the dropkick to tilt the match in his favour. Valentine and Johnson traded control before Valentine finally gained the advantage and worked over the leg setting up the Figure Four. Johnson however kicked Valentine off and sent him shoulder first into the turnbuckle before rolling him up to pick up the victory. The Result: Rocky Johnson defeated Greg Valentine in 11:49 after a Schoolboy Following the match Greg Valentine looked pissed as he started yelling at his manager Lou Albano blaming him for his streak of bad luck. Albano tried to plead with Valentine but Valentine backed him up into the corner before Rocky Johnson jumped back in the ring perhaps saving Albano. Johnson started punching Valentine and knocked him out of the ring with a dropkick. Handicap MatchAndre the Giant vs. The North-South Connection w/Gary HartThe Hype: Gary Hart has made himself an enemy with Andre the Giant sending Big John Studd unsuccessfully after him. Now he is sending two men after him in the form of Adrian Adonis & Dick Murdoch. Andre the Giant remains without being pinned or submitted in his long career whether that be one man, two men or more. Andre the Giant will be looking to dispatch of more of Gary Hart’s challengers. The Match: Adonis & Murdoch started out by attempting to jump Andre, but this didn’t succeed as Andre easily overpowered the two men. Andre proceeded to control the action easily tossing Murdoch & Adonis around the ring, even allowing them to tag in and out so to bring the fresher man in. Finally though Adonis & Murdoch gained the advantage through dubious means and proceeded to double team Andre. The tide turned again however as Adonis was holding Andre and Murdoch went to charge him but Andre moved and Murdoch hit Adonis. Andre then delivered a meeting of the minds banging Adonis & Murdoch’s head’s together. Andre then slammed Adonis and slammed Murdoch on top of him, then delivered a splash on both men and picked up the victory. The Result: Andre the Giant defeated Adrian Adonis & Dick Murdoch in 9:57 after pinning Adonis following a splash on both men Backstage The Iron Sheik was being interviewed by Vince McMahon. Sheik said that Tito Santana was making the biggest mistake of his life by accepting the fight against The Iron Sheik after Jesse Ventura pulled out of their match. He said he would once again be champion in the WWF, he said he was screwed out of the WWF Championship and it was time to make amends. He said Tito Santana was just like the rest of the American stooges. WWF Intercontinental Championship Tito Santana vs. The Iron SheikThe Hype: Originally this match was scheduled to be Tito Santana defending against Jesse Ventura in a continuation of their long rivalry. However Jesse Ventura was hospitalised earlier today. Tito Santana could’ve pulled out of the match but wanting to be a fighting champion he decided to take on The Iron Sheik. Sheik hasn’t been in the best form having lost a war against bitter rival Sgt Slaughter. But he has championship experience and a talented skillset and is a very dangerous opponent for Santana especially on such short notice. The Match: Santana started off by blasting Sheik with some fast fists, he backed Sheik up into the corner and started pounding on him. Santana came out on fire blasting Sheik with shot after shot. Sheik soon gained the advantage however and didn’t look like he was going to relent. He started pounding Santana’s neck perhaps setting up for the Camel Clutch. Sheik then for some reason attempted to climb the turnbuckle but was met by Santana who threw him off. Santana then nailed a Flying Forearm to pick up the victory. The Result: Tito Santana defeats The Iron Sheik in 13:06 after a Flying Forearm to retain the WWF Intercontinental Championship Magnum TA vs Tony Atlas w/ Gary HartThe Hype: This rivalry started up on an edition of Championship Wrestling where Magnum TA was being interviewed and signing autographs for fans. Tony Atlas attacked Magnum during this time. Ever since then this rivalry has escalated with a clear hate between the two men. Tony Atlas claims that Magnum TA is attempting to hog the spotlight and that Tony Atlas is the star of the show. Magnum TA says he is disgusted by Tony Atlas’ actions and that Tony Atlas has awakened an animal in Magnum TA. This vicious rivalry is set to come to a head tonight. The Match: This one was a brawl right from the start with both men throwing heavy punches at the other. The match spilled to the outside and the brawling continued. Magnum TA gained the advantage and was pounding on Atlas not relenting. Atlas the nailed a low blow and proceeded to ram Magnum TA’s head into the ringpost busting him open. The referee eventually had to call a stop to this match as it had quickly gotten out of hand. The Result: Magnum TA and Tony Atlas fight to a double disqualification in 2:59 The brawling didn’t stop then though as the two men continued to punch each other. Finally out poured some officials and various superstars to stop the brawl from continuing. Magnum TA and Tony Atlas continued to shout at each other and were attempting to break out from the holds they were in and attack the other guy but finally it all seemed to calm down. Magnum TA arrived backstage and had an interview with Vince McMahon. Magnum said that he will not forget this. He will not forget the taste of his blood. He said this thing between he and Atlas is personal now. Just then Tony Atlas burst onto the scene with Gary Hart and started attacking Magnum. Hart was barking at Atlas to finish the putz. Atlas and Magnum continued their brawl once again before they had to be restrained once more. Junkyard Dog vs. Iron Mike SharpeThe Hype: This is Junkyard Dog’s Madison Square Garden debut match after making his WWF debut only a couple of weeks ago. JYD has already made an impact on the WWF fans and is looking to make an impact in the ring. Iron Mike Sharpe is a grizzled veteran. “Canada’s Greatest Athlete” is a tough opponent for anyone and is looking to climb back up the ranks with a win against Junkyard Dog. The Match: Sharpe mocked JYD prior to the match, he first claimed he would only need 20 seconds rather than the 20 minute time limit. He then slapped JYD in the face and that angered the dog who pounced on Sharpe. JYD began to toy with Sharpe delivering a number of power moves to Sharpe. Sharpe did momentarily gain the advantage even scoring a near fall but for the most part JYD controlled the match. He delivered a power slam to pick up the victory. The Result: Junkyard Dog defeated Iron Mike Sharpe in 7:23 with a Power Slam After the match Junkyard Dog was interviewed about his first appearance in the famed Madison Square Garden. Dog started barking and the crowd barked along. He said it’s an absolute thrill to fight in this ring in front of the greatest fans in the world and hearing more than 20,000 bark along with the dog. He said he looks forward to making many more appearances in Madison Square Garden. Roddy Piper & David Schultz vs. Sgt Slaughter & Superstar Billy GrahamThe Hype: On an edition of Pipers Pit, Roddy Piper mocked his guest Billy Graham for losing to Sgt Slaughter and saying that Graham was washed up. Graham admitted his mutual respect for Sgt Slaughter and a mutual hatred of Roddy Piper and thus the tag team was born. Piper & Schultz are former tag team champions and this is Slaughter & Graham’s first time teaming up, who will come out on top? The Match: David Schultz was the legal man to start off but Piper lured Graham in in order for Schultz to attack him and gain the advantage. Piper & Schultz showed off their teamwork early on making quick tags and double teaming Graham. Graham however managed to make the tag to Slaughter who proceeded to clean house. The action went back and forth for a while with both teams gaining the advantage and then losing it as it appeared they were both evenly match. Slaughter looked like he was going to pin Schultz with a Slaughter Cannon Lariat but Piper broke it up at the last millisecond. Slaughter made the tag to Graham, Slaughter was then taken out by Roddy Piper who rolled to the outside and yanked Slaughter the ground. Graham distracted by this was rolled up by Schultz who proceeded to pull the tights and gain a huge victory for Piper & Schultz. The Result: Roddy Piper & David Schultz defeated Superstar Billy Graham & Sgt Slaughter in 15:17 after Schultz pinned Graham with a handful of tights After the match Schultz and Piper proceed to lay an unnecessary beatdown on Graham. Slaughter finally regained himself and chased off Piper & Schultz who walked off laughing at the misfortune of Graham & Slaughter. WWF Tag Team Championships The British Bulldogs vs. The Wild Samoans w/ Captain Lou AlbanoThe Hype: The British Bulldogs and The Wild Samoans is a classic match-up of veterans and newcomers. The Bulldogs are fresh to the scene and have already captured the WWF Tag Team Championships in that span. The Samoans are three time tag champions and a have a wealth of experience. They also hold the power and strength advantage significantly outweighing the much smaller Bulldogs. The Bulldogs however hold the speed and technique advantage. This one is a classic clash of styles and teams. The Match: The Samoans started out by easily overpowering The Bulldogs. They delivered some nasty chops and kicks to both Davey Boy & The Dynamite Kid. The Bulldogs managed to turn the momentum around with some fast paced action and also showed they could pack a punch and had strength of their own as they delivered some hard punches and a powerslam to Afa. The Samoans however once again gained the advantage and singled out Davey Boy Smith. Davey Boy Smith was reluctant to go down though as he fought back and managed to make the tag to Dynamite Kid. Dynamite Kid then took over the match and took out both Afa & Sika. Dynamite then tagged in Davey Boy Smith. Smith then delivered a Diving Headbutt to Sika to pick up the victory. The Result: The British Bulldogs defeat The Wild Samoans in 11:28 after Davey Boy Smith pinned Sika with a Diving Headbutt. We were then taken to a pre-taped interview with Paul Orndorff. He said that the time had come for a new era to dawn in the World Wrestling Federation. He said that Mr Wonderful was going to deliver a Piledriver to Jimmy Snuka, break his neck, put the fan favourite out for good and put that gold around his waist. Orndorff’s new manager Bobby Heenan told everyone to look at this wonderful body, now imagine it with a 20 pound gold belt around its waist. Heenan said that he’d managed a lot of people around the world, but he had never seen anyone as impressive as Mr Wonderful, he had never seen anyone with the talent, the body and the personality to be a champion like Paul Orndorff. Paul Orndorff would achieve tonight the moment he was destined to achieve the moment he was born and become WWF champion. We then went to a pre-taped Jimmy Snuka interview. Snuka said he wasn’t going to lie and say he was 100%, his neck was hurting him. But it wasn’t going to stop him. Nothing was going to stop him. He had fought his whole life to become WWF Champion and he wasn’t going to let this opportunity go because he was hurting. He said he had a vendetta against Paul Orndorff and there was no way he was going to let Paul Orndorff become WWF champion. Tonight they will settle the score and Jimmy Snuka planned on being the one with his hand raised at the end of the night. WWF Heavyweight Championship Jimmy Snuka vs. Paul Orndorff w/ Bobby HeenanThe Hype: This one writes itself. Jimmy Snuka has held the belt for 8 months now and perhaps hasn’t faced a challenger half as dangerous as Paul Orndorff. These two faced off last month and Snuka injured his neck after he dove out the ring to jump on Orndorff but missed. Orndorff then proceeded to assault Snuka after the match whilst he was being carted away on a stretcher. Snuka’s neck injury has gotten worse ever since after being attacked by Roddy Piper on Pipers Pit and receiving a Piledriver from Orndorff on Championship Wrestling last week. Orndorff is on the ride of a lifetime as he retired Bob Backlund, he plans to do the same thing to Jimmy Snuka as he vows to break his neck and put him out of commission for good. Orndorff may have gotten even more dangerous with the addition of manager Bobby Heenan who will add another body to the outside. Who will come out on top in this highly anticipated bout? The Match: The crowd was electric for this one. Orndorff started out with a headlock yanking the neck but Snuka managed to power out showing Orndorff that he may not be able to take the easy way out. Snuka continued to counter Orndorff’s early moves frustrating Mr Wonderful who perhaps thought he may be able to have a cakewalk in this match. Orndorff got knocked out the ring by a Snuka chop and proceeded to pull Snuka out and gain the advantage. Orndorff kept the advantage constantly working over Snuka’s neck with a variety of moves. Orndorff continued to dominate putting Snuka in a variety of submission holds but Snuka kept fighting out of them. Orndorff went for a vertical suplex but Snuka countered and delivered a suplex of his own. Snuka finally gained some advantage and seemed to gain a second wind. Snuka even got a couple of near falls on Orndorff who rolled out of the ring to regain himself. This didn’t slow Snuka down though as he kept the advantage. Orndorff countered back with a vicious lariat and nearly got the pinfall. Paul Orndorff was looking frustrated at his inability to put Snuka away, a trait many of Snuka’s opponents have had. Snuka once again countered and gained the momentum but was distracted by Bobby Heenan. Snuka knocked Heenan off the ring apron but was attacked by Orndorff who got another near fall. The momentum changed once more as Snuka countered Orndorff and it looked like it was going to stay that way as Snuka continued to knock Orndorff down. Snuka then climbed the top rope perhaps setting up for the Superfly Splash but Orndorff got to his feet and knocked Snuka off the top rope and he landed right on his head torqueing the injured neck. Orndorff then picked Snuka up and delivered a Piledriver and got the pinfall picking up the title. The Result: Paul Orndorff defeats Jimmy Snuka in 20:13 to become the NEW WWF Heavyweight Champion The crowd were in shock as Paul Orndorff fell to his knees with his hands over his face. Heenan rushed the ring with the championship belt and put it around Orndorff’s waist. Orndorff celebrated the huge victory and managed to capture the WWF Heavyweight Championship, the crowd still hadn’t peeped as Orndorff started shouting to end the show.

WWF Week 36
A New Champion
[/color][/size] Paul Orndorff defeated Jimmy Snuka at Madison Square Garden to become the new WWF Heavyweight Champion. It was announced by Vince McMahon that Snuka was injured and had been demanded by doctors not to compete indefinitely in order to preserve his wrestling career. It was also announced that Paul Orndorff was celebrating at the moment and would appear on Championship Wrestling next week. We were then shown highlights from the Madison Square Garden match as well a special post match interview by Orndorff. In that interview Orndorff claimed that the WWF had a champion they could be proud of and claimed that this was his time and he would be champion for a long time to come. And a New Challenger [/color][/size] Paul Orndorff’s first Madison Square Garden defense will come next month and it will be against the last man to pin him as he will take on Tito Santana in a rematch from April where Santana pinned Orndorff with an assist to the now retired Bob Backlund. Santana gave an interview about how he dreamed about becoming WWF Champion since he was a little boy and watched Bruno Sammartino carry the strap. He said he knew he could defeat Paul Orndorff and he was going to make his parents, Mexico and everyone proud as he would achieve his dream. Santana then started speaking in Spanish before saying ‘arriba’. Magnum TA Loses Control [/color][/size] Tony Atlas competed against SD Jones in the feature bout of Championship Wrestling and he picked up an impressive victory. After the match Atlas’ rival Magnum TA stormed the ring and assaulted Atlas. Magnum started unloading on Atlas and eventually busted him open. Eventually officials tried to separate Magnum but Magnum attacked them too and continued the assault on Atlas. Magnum continued to assault Atlas and anyone who stood in his way before finally a dozen people managed to restrain Magnum. Magnum kept shouting at Atlas, screaming that this wasn’t over and Atlas has awoken something he will wish he never did. Pipers Pit with Greg Valentine & Captain Lou Albano[/color][/size] Lou Albano was the guest on this weeks edition of Piper’s Pit. Albano was joined by one of his clients in Greg Valentine. Albano said he had a huge announcement to make and that was that due to his friendship with Cyndi Lauper, he was on his way to Los Angeles next week in order to bring the pop superstar to the WWF. Piper told Albano to make sure to get her on Pipers Pit because Piper was not afraid to ask the tough questions and he had some humdingers for Lauper. Albano said he wasn’t sure that Cyndi Lauper would want to appear on Pipers Pit. Valentine was shaking his head and interrupted Albano, he said that all he ever focuses on is Cyndi Lauper, that’s all he ever talks about and proceeded to blame Albano for his recent string of losses. Albano apologised to Valentine but Valentine didn’t accept and told Albano that he had had enough of him and was firing him as his manager. He said he was announcing his new manager right now and that was a real winner Bobby Heenan. Valentine then slapped Albano and told him he could go hang out with Lauper all he wanted to now. Piper said that sounded like a great idea and that he told Albano not to worry about getting Lauper because he was going to go and get her himself to appear on Pipers Pit. Moolah is Forming an Army [/color][/size] The Fabulous Moolah announced that she was recruiting an army to take on Wendi Richter and get the WWF Ladies Championship back on someone respectful. She announced that she would be training Judy Martin & Leilani Kai and they would be coming after Richter. She said that Martin & Kai were already more talented than Richter and with her guidance would have that Ladies Championship in no time.
