Week 11 1984
Boston Garden 3/17/84 [/u] Big John Studd, Adrian Adonis & Dick Murdoch defeated Rocky Johnson, Tony Atlas & Ivan Putski Roddy Piper & David Schultz defeated Tony Garea & Eddie Gilbert Tito Santana defeated Iron Mike Sharpe Greg Valentine defeated Salvatore Bellomo B. Brian Blair defeated Samula Sgt Slaughter defeated Paul Orndorff via disqualification Andre the Giant & The Iron Sheik fought to a no contest WWF Heavyweight Champion Jimmy Snuka defeated The Masked Superstar Report & Notes: Jimmy Snuka successfully defended his title for the second week in a row against The Masked Superstar. Superstar pulled a foreign object out from his mask and went to attack Snuka with it but Snuka grabbed the weapon through it from the ring and cleaned house finishing Superstar off with a Superstar Splash. The Iron Sheik/ Andre the Giant rivalry continued and again a clear winner wasn’t determined as both men continually ignored the referee’s instructions leading to a no contest. Sgt Slaughter took on Paul Orndorff in what proved to be an evenly matched back and forth contest. Orndorff looked like he was getting frustrated as his inability to put Slaughter away so went out and grabbed a steel chair bringing it into the ring and getting himself disqualified. Slaughter fought off Orndorff after the match. Big John Studd, Adrian Adonis & Dick Murdoch defeated Rocky Johnson, Tony Atlas & Ivan Putski. Big John Studd was dominant eventually pinning Rocky Johnson. Murdoch & Adonis then stood tall over the tag champs, perhaps a sign of things to come. Other winners on the night were Tito Santana, B. Brian Blair & Greg Valentine. Championship Wrestling 3/17/84 (Taped on 3/6 airing in the New York City area)Greg Valentine defeated Pete Doherty in 2:09 with a Figure Four Leg Lock The Masked Superstar defeated Victor Mercado in 2:17 with a Swinging Neckbreaker The Iron Sheik defeated Rob Cheaney in 1:30 with a Camel Clutch Pipers Pit with The Invaders The British Bulldogs defeated Bill Berger & Ron Butler in 4:02 after Smith pinned Berger with a diving headbutt Tito Santana defeated Jerry Valiant in 3:02 with a Flying Forearm MSG 3/25 Interviews with Big John Studd, Paul Orndorff, Don Muraco & Tito Santana Mil Mascaras defeated Iron Mike Sharpe in 4:37 with a diving cross body Mil Mascaras Interview Report & Notes: International wrestling superstar Mil Mascaras made his return to Championship Wrestling this week. Mascaras defeated Iron Mike Sharpe in the feature bout of the night, dazzling the crowd with his unorthodox offence. After the match Mascaras was interviewed by Gene Okerlund at ringside, who called him one of the top talents in the world. Mascaras said he has fought around the world and the WWF has all the top talent there and how he is looking forward to facing them, starting with a bout in Madison Square Garden, his favourite arena to wrestle at that will prove who the best masked wrestler in the world when he takes on The Masked Superstar on 3/25. The Masked Superstar also picked up a win on the night, after the match he grabbed a microphone and said there isn’t room for both him and Mascaras in the WWF and he was going to demask that fraud Mil Mascaras and expose his ugly face to the world. Big John Studd was also interviewed regarding his match with Jimmy Snuka, he said Snuka was afraid to meet him face to face so he has to jump him like he did last week in his match with The Tonga Kid. Studd said there’ll be no more sneak attacks when he faces Snuka at MSG, he said he promises to dominate Snuka like he never has before and he’ll take that title away. WWF Intercontinental Title challenger Tito Santana after already picking up a victory on the night, was interviewed regarding the match at MSG with Don Muraco. Santana began to talk about how much that title meant to him before Don Muraco interrupted him, Muraco was set to be interviewed after Santana but decided to interrupt Santana, calling him boring and that no one wants to see that border bandit as Intercontinental champion and telling him he didn’t even deserve to be having a match with the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time. Santana then got up in Muraco’s face shouting something in Spanish and the two had to be restrained before they came to blows. Muraco looked pleased at his handy work, smiling as he was restrained whilst Santana continued to shout at Muraco in Spanish. Paul Orndorff was interviewed about his match with Ivan Putski. Orndorff said that he is the best looking guy in the WWF, with the best body and the most dangerous finishing manoeuvre. Orndorff said Putski used to have a pretty good looking body in comparison to the other guys in the WWF but he pales in comparison to Orndorff and now looks average. He said there was nothing Putski could beat him in. The Invaders were the guests on Pipers Pit this week. Roddy Piper brought his friend David Schultz along for the show. Piper continually mocked The Invaders throughout the segment deliberately getting the two Invaders mixed up and saying they were boring and were all style and no substance. The Invaders then got up and looked like they were ready to attack Piper before Schultz stepped in and licked his lips at the opportunity to brawl, Piper held him back and told him these 2 chumps weren’t worth their time. Piper & Schultz will meet The Invaders in a tag team match on 3/25 in Madison Square Garden. Picking up victories on the night were The Iron Sheik, Greg Valentine & The British Bulldogs.All Star Wrestling 3/17/84 (Taped on 3/6 airing in the Philadelphia region)The Invaders defeated Brian Madden & Frankie Williams in 4:28 after Invader #1 pinned Williams after a Cross Body Chief Jay Strongbow defeated Ken Jugan in 2:47 with a Tomohawk Chop Paul Orndorff defeated Craig Carson in 2:32 with a Piledriver Ivan Putski defeated Mike Powers in 2:55 with a Polish Hammer Philadelphia Spectrum 3/24 Interviews with The Iron Sheik, Greg Valentine & Sgt Slaughter Dick Murdoch & Adrian Adonis defeated Swede Hanson & Angelo Gomez in 4:49 after Adonis pinned Gomez with a diving forearm smash Roddy Piper & David Schultz defeated Bob Bradley & Kevin Collins in 4:23 after Piper locked Bradley in a Sleeper Hold Report & Notes: Interviews for the 3/24 Spectrum show were conducted and included The Iron Sheik giving an interview regarding his Texas Death Match with Jimmy Snuka. Sheik said he should still rightfully be champion and in Philadelphia he would right a wrong, he said that he will prove once and for all why Iran is number one and why Sheik is the greatest champion in the world. Greg Valentine was interviewed about his match with Tito Santana. Valentine vowed to break Santana’s leg in the Spectrum and said it’ll put him on a hot path to finally winning a title in the WWF and how he’ll take Santana out of Intercontinental Title contention and he’ll step up and do what Santana can’t. Sgt. Slaughter was interviewed regarding his match with WWF Intercontinental Champion Don Muraco. Slaughter said he was a proud fighter and would never back down from a fight like Muraco. He said he was going to take that Intercontinental Title from that slimeball Muraco and teach him a lesson in what a true champion and a true American is like. Wrestling at the Chase 3/17/84 (Airing in the St. Louis area)Roddy Piper defeated Salvatore Bellomo (Checkerdome 3/2) Ivan Putski defeated Mike Powers (All Star Wrestling 3/17) Pipers Pit with Big John Studd (Championship Wrestling 2/25) Rocky Johnson & Adrian Adonis fought to a no contest (Checkerdome 3/2) Interviews with David Schultz, Tito Santana and Jimmy Snuka Big John Studd defeated The Tonga Kid (Championship Wrestling 3/10) Report & Notes: WWF Champion Jimmy Snuka was about to be interviewed regarding his match with Big John Studd before Studd showed up and told Snuka he was just keeping that title warm for the most dominant man in the WWF and he’s lucky he hasn’t taken it already. Snuka told him he can try and take it any time he wants but he isn’t going to give it up without the fight of Studd’s life. Studd began to laugh and Snuka told Studd he’d go at it with him right now, Studd and Snuka then stood face to face before Studd smiled and walked off telling Snuka he wasn’t worth his time. David Schultz & Tito Santana were interviewed regarding their match up. Schultz said he was going to whip Santana like the mule that he was and it’d be just what Santana and his people are used to and deserve, he said he was the toughest guy in the WWF and would give Santana the beating of his life. Santana. Santana said Schultz is a psycho who likes to talk a big game and act like the tough guy. He said that Schultz has an opportunity to step up and prove it and show the world just how tough he is. Santana said he is looking forward to his first match in St. Louis.[/center][/font]

WWF Week 10, 1984: Landover: Good win for Jimmy Snuka against the Masked Superstar, I thought he was on his way out you said last month. Rocky Johnson & Tony Atlas with another win against the Wild Samoans, hopefully that feud is in the past now though. Don Muraco beating Ivan Putski was fine. Nothing that special though. I'm glad to see some more detail on the more key note matches. Andre the Giant beating Iron Sheik was a fine bout, liked the count out win actually. Championship Wrestling: Big John Studd was obviously defeating the Tonga kid, was a nice way to build the Studd and Jimmy Snuka feud up. The British Bulldogs! This early? I'm surprised. The Masked Superstar against Mil Mascaras? Brilliant storyline, could potentially end in a Mask vs Mask match. Sgt Slaughter will most likely go over Mr Fuji and Tiger Chung Lee. Dick Murdoch & Adrian Adonis getting on the Piper's Pit was great, finally they get some time to speak and not fight. Haha, tied number one with Roddy Piper and David Schultz, that was a nice touch. I see Piper and Schultz being the guys to feud Rocky Johnson and Tony Atlas if Murdoch and Adonis don't get the job done. An update on Bob Backlund's condition, sounds good. Looking forward to Backlund's return. All-Star Wrestling: Chief Jay Strongbow on Piper's Pit had to have been good. Did like Piper being more aggressive in this segment on treatment of Strongbow. The Iron Sheik beating Jose Louis Rivera was fine, did like his cry of 'USA number zero, USA number one' and all that jazz being known. Jimmy Snuka and the Iron Sheik should be good in the Texas Deathmatch, that WWF World Heavyweight Championship on the line. Tito Santana and Greg Valentine going at it, one more time is great. I love this period's format schedule. Wrestling at the Chase: Roddy Piper and Ivan Putski sounds cool, just to get Piper over I imagine. Tito Santana and David Schultz should be interesting. Piper's slander of Putski was great. André will probably manage to beat the Iron Sheik and Freddie Blassie; it's such a logical storyline conclusion. Overall, quite a decent week for television.

Philly Spectrum 3/24Mr Fuji & Tiger Chung Lee defeated SD Jones & The Tonga Kid in 9:15 after Lee pinned Jones following a BackbreakerFuji & Lee used their veteran presence to keep the inexperienced Tonga Kid isolated from his partner for most of the match. SD Jones made the tag and seemed like he was swinging the favour towards his team however a shot from Fuji to the back and a backbreaker from Lee later, the match was over and Fuji & Lee had won. The Masked Superstar defeated Tony Garea in 7:45 after a Swinging NeckbreakerTony Garea attempted to pull the mask off but this seemed to enrage Superstar who began to pummel Garea and finished him off with his patented Swinging Neckbreaker. He then gave Garea another one post match for good measure. Tito Santana & Greg Valentine fought to a double count-out in 10:30Santana and Valentine traded hold for hold most of the match with neither man gaining the advantage. Santana then hit a cross body knocking both men out of the ring with neither one being able to answer the 10 count. After the match Santana & Valentine began to brawl before being separated by officials. Paul Orndorff defeated Chief Jay Strongbow in 7:32 after a PiledriverOrndorff was his usual overconfident self toying with Strongbow and stalling for most of the match. This nearly wound up costing Orndorff before he hit a Piledriver to pick up the win. Andre the Giant, Rocky Johnson & Tony Atlas defeated Big John Studd, Adrian Adonis & Dick Murdoch in 12:03 after Andre pinned Adonis following a SplashAndre, Johnson & Atlas started out on fire clearing Studd, Adonis & Murdoch from the ring. Eventually Studd, Adonis & Murdoch isolated Atlas working him over with quick tags. However Rocky Johnson came in and came in on fire before he too got knocked down. Johnson then made the tag to Andre and just as it looked like he and Big John Studd were going to square off with Andre begging Studd to face him, Studd walked out on team mates wanting nothing to do with Andre. Adonis attempted to attacked Andre from behind but that was a mistake as he was shortly thereafter treated to a Splash. David Schultz defeated Ivan Putski in 9:48 after Roddy Piper blasted Putski with a pair of brass knucksPolish Power seemed like an even match for Schultz at times but not for the combination of Schultz & Piper. Piper constantly interjected himself behind the referees back, to give Schultz the advantage. Just when it looked like Putski was going to finish off Schultz, Piper redirected the referees attention and blasted Putski with a pair of brass knucks as a dizzy Schultz covered Putski to pick up the win as Piper & Schultz celebrated like crazy with Piper laying in a couple of extra shots after the bout. Sgt. Slaughter defeated WWF Intercontinental Champion Don Muraco via count-out in 11:45Sgt Slaughter has certainly won the crowd over as they were cheering him like crazy. Muraco tried his best to delay tying up with Slaughter but Slaughter was on fire. Muraco managed to rake the eyes of Slaughter before grabbing his title and walking out on the match. Slaughter chased after Muraco after the match and managed to catch him and deliver a Slaughter Cannon to him. WWF Champion Jimmy Snuka defeated The Iron Sheik in a Texas Death Match in 21:18 after a Superfly SplashThis one was a bloody and brutal affair. These two brawled around the arena using any weapons they could find on each other. Both men were cut open and were nearly counted out. Sheik looked like he had the victory in hand before Blassie handed him on of his clubs. Sheik went to whack Snuka with it but Snuka prevented the blow, grabbed the weapon and turned the tables on Sheik, blasting him with it 5 times before ascending the top rope with blood dripping from his face and delivered The Superfly Splash to pick up the win to a huge roar from the crowd. Championship Wrestling 3/24 (Taped on 3/5, New York airing)Greg Valentine defeated SD Jones in 4:32 with a Figure Four Leg Lock Update: Andre the Giant/Iron Sheik rivalry The Masked Superstar defeated Pete Doherty in 2:09 with a Swinging Neckbreaker Sgt Slaughter defeated John Callahan in 1:27 with a Cobra Clutch Pipers Pit with Mil Mascaras Big John Studd defeated Bob Bradley & Angelo Gomez in 2:27 after delivering an Elbow Drop to both men Rocky Johnson & Tony Atlas defeated Mike Powers & Charlie Fulton in 3:57 after Johnson pinned Powers following a dropkick MSG 3/25 Interviews with Jimmy Snuka, Andre the Giant, The Iron Sheik, Dick Murdoch & Adrian Adonis Jimmy Snuka defeated Rene Goulet in 3:57 with a Superfly Splash Report & Notes: Jimmy Snuka defeated Rene Goulet in convincing fashion, after the bout Big John Studd came down to the ring and applied the bearhug to Snuka squeezing the life out of him. Snuka was desperately attempting to fight out of the hold but it was too much as Studd dropped a limp Snuka to the mat signalling his intentions for Snuka at Madison Square Garden. Big John Studd also picked up a win in a handicap match to cap is big night. Mil Mascaras was Roddy Piper’s guest on Pipers Pit this week. Piper told Mascaras that after The Invaders last week he has a strict no mask policy and would prefer if he took it off unless he has something to hide. Mascaras said that this mask was his about his heritage and the legacy he has created in Mexico and around the world with it. He said he was proud to represent as the top Mexican wrestler. Piper said there wasn’t much competition in Mexico and he’d probably rank about 400th in America. Mascaras said he wasn’t afraid to face the top dogs and he was starting with The Masked Superstar in an attempt to decide the number on masked wrestler in the world. Piper said he was growing tired of listening to Mascaras talk and it was time to take the mask off and show to the world his hideous face. Piper then attempted to take the mask off of Mascaras but Mascaras pushed him off. Mascaras then started shouting something in Spanish at Piper storming off the set. Jimmy Snuka was interviewed regarding his match with Big John Studd, he said it has finally come for the time for them to meet in The Garden, he said he is fed up with Studd acting like the bully because of his size. He said Studd is about to find out that size doesn’t account for heart and will and the fact that Studd is going to have to leave him not breathing for him to pry that Heavyweight Title away from him. The Iron Sheik & Andre the Giant were also interviewed regarding their match at the Garden. Andre said it’s time once and for all to put this thing between him and Sheik behind them. He said he has never been pinned or submitted and he isn’t looking for that to change at Madison Square when he and Sheik tangle again and this time he is going to ensure there is a clear winner. The Iron Sheik was with manager Freddie Blassie and said Andre is just a big dumb pencil necked geek and didn’t have the intelligence or ability of The Iron Sheik. Sheik said that he couldn’t wait to lock Andre in the Camel Clutch and break his break and finally get his revenge on Andre and prove that Iran was number 1. Dick Murdoch & Adrian Adonis were interviewed regarding their tag team title opportunity. They said finally those two baboons have to stop ducking them, they get their shot and they’ll show the world why they are the best tag team in the business, Murdoch then took off his belt and motioned a whipping motion on his arm and said they are going to get whipped like the mules they are. Murdoch & Adonis’ opponents at MSG Rocky Johnson & Tony Atlas picked up a victory on the night. Other winners on the night were Greg Valentine, who reapplied the figure four causing SD Jones to limp out following their match, as well as The Masked Superstar & Sgt Slaughter . Finally Vince McMahon was in studio to give an update on The Iron Sheik/Andre the Giant rivalry. He showed a clip of Andre interfering in The Sheik/Snuka match at MSG on 1/21 and another clip of a match between them at Boston Garden brawling. He said this is a heated feud where both men hate each other and it is all coming to a head where hopefully we’ll get a clear winner one way or another. All Star Wrestling 3/24 (Taped on 3/6, Airing in Philadelphia)The Iron Sheik defeated Angelo Gomez in 0:59 after a Camel Clutch Paul Orndorff defeated Pat Hutchinson in 2:03 after a Piledriver B. Brian Blair defeated Brian Madden in 2:32 after an Inside Cradle/Abdominal Stretch combo Pipers Pit with Mr Fuji & Tiger Chung Lee The British Bulldogs defeated Ken Jugan & Fred Marzino in 3:57 after Smith pinned Dynamite Kid with a Diving Headbutt Roddy Piper & David Schultz defeated Victor Rivera & Rocco Verona in 4:19 after Schultz pinned Verona with a diving forearm smash Philly Spectrum 4/21 interviews with David Schultz, Jimmy Snuka & Paul Orndorff Ivan Putski defeated Butcher Vachon in 3:09 after a Flying Forearm Report & Notes: The Philly Spectrum card for 4/21 was announced as the WWF Title would be on the line as Jimmy Snuka would be taking on ] “Dr D” David Schultz in the chance of a lifetime for Schultz. Both Snuka and Schultz were interviewed regarding the match. Snuka said Schultz has done nothing but run his mouth since he had gotten here but he’d be happy to show him and his buddy Piper a thing or two about how to fight and leave the talking for the ring. David Schultz said that the Sea Monkey’s time at the top is going to run to an end, he said Snuka already looks like he’s been living in the jungle for years with his dirty hair, filthy body and the smell of animal faeces, well he’s going to look a whole lot worse when Dr D gets a hold of him. Also announced for the Spectrum card was a rematch from the 3/24 show as Greg Valentine would be taking on Tito Santana after a no contest in their last bout. Another big match announced for the card would be Andre the Giant taking on “Mr Wonderful” Paul Orndorff . Orndorff said that he didn’t care about Andre’s streak, nothing was more impressive than Mr Wonderful. He said he was the most physically intimidating man in the WWF and he would demonstrate all that work he puts in at the gym 7 days a week when he lifts Andre up and slams him into the mat. Mr Fuji & Tiger Chung Lee were the guests on Pipers Pit this week. Roddy Piper said he was glad to see someone stand up to that self indulgent, hypocritical and obnoxious buffoon Sgt Slaughter. Fuji said that it was such a pleasure to be on this show and he was going to prove for Japan and for Pipers Scottish heritage why the USA is last on the pole in terms of countries in wrestling. Piper shook Fuji’s & Lee’s hand to end the segment. Wrestling at the ChaseIvan Putski defeated Iron Mike Sharpe (Checkerdome 3/2) Tito Santana defeated Jerry Valiant (Championship Wrestling 3/17) Roddy Piper & David Schultz defeated Bob Bradley & Kevin Collins (All Star Wrestling 3/17) Kiel Auditorium 4/6 interviews with The Iron Sheik & Freddie Blassie, Ivan Putski, Sgt Slaughter & David Schultz & Roddy Piper The Iron Sheik defeated (All Star Wrestling 3/24) Jimmy Snuka defeated Rene Goulet (Championship Wrestling 3/24) Report & Notes: The Iron Sheik & Freddie Blassie were interviewed regarding their match with Andre the Giant. Blassie said he has been in the wrestling business since that pencil necked geek Andre was under 6 feet and that Andre can’t even defeat Sheik then how is he going to defeat both Sheik & Blassie. Blassie said Sheik is going to do all the work and Blassie is going to humiliate Andre by being the one to pin him. Sheik said he cannot wait for both he and the great “Ayatollah” to punish that thug Andre and show Iran is number 1. Ivan Putski was interviewed regarding his match with Roddy Piper . Putski said Piper sure knows how to run his mouth, well he’s going to have to back all the trash he has talked up in St Louis. He said Piper is going to learn a lesson in Polish Power. Sgt Slaughter was interviewed and said he was a proud American and proud to fight for America and pledge his allegiance to America and how he that made him happy to be making his first appearance in St Louis in the Kiel. He then talked about how sick it made to watch these foreigners who were trashing the country that gave them the opportunity to wrestle here and he was making it his personal vendetta to teach them a lesson in respect for the great US of A. Roddy Piper & David Schultz were interviewed as a tandem despite the fact they would be having singles matches. Piper said they were just as good as singles competitors as they were a tag team and they would show that airhead freak Ivan Putski & that filthy Chihuahua Tito Santana just how impressive they are when they beat them both convincingly and prove that they are the force to be reckoned with in the WWF. Schultz said he and Piper are the two smartest, two toughest, two most athletically gifted and two best looking men in the WWF at the moment and they would use all of those qualities to prove that Putski & Santana aren’t even in their league.

Ah, 1984. The year that I was brought into this world...
Good backstory. It’ll be interesting to see where Vince would go without Hulk Hogan. Needless to say, I’m looking forward to see what you can do.
The Roster is what I expected; not a whole lot of star power but you know them anyway.
I like the format; its quick to read. So Snuka/Sheik feud eh? That’s a really interesting one. I hope you can do something with Mr. Wonderful as I liked that guy. I remember when I had the LJNs, I used Mr. Wonderful a helluva lot for the World Champ.
TITO!!!
January 23rd, 1984... The WWF went Superfly eh? I love the fact that you put the strap on Snuka. Can’t wait to see where you will go with this.
I will be honest though; the colours of red and blue are easily lost for me hah. I guess I’m a old man.
I read all of this; I’m impressed man. You have a flair for this era; so simple. I can’t wait to see Jesse “THE BODY” Ventura!
So I’m really glad that you got the belt on Snuka, it makes for a interesting landscape back in 84’ but then again he was pretty popular in the 80’s. That Texas Deathmatch with Iron Sheik sounds crazy good.
Keep up the good work, man. I’ll be tuning into this now.

WWF Week 11, 1984...Boston Garden: Jimmy Snuka beating the Masked Superstar once again to retain the WWF World Heavyweight Championship. The Iron Sheik and André the Giant fighting to a no contest definitely gets this feud heated. I see this continuing into a steel cage match in the next few months, I do like this feud. Sgt Slaughter and Paul Orndorff would have been a good, solid match in my eyes. The disqualification finish showed off Orndorff's fiery personality. Big John Studd, Adrian Adonis and Dick Murdoch sounds like a huge combination, good win against Rocky Johnson, Tony Atlas and Ivan Putski in this build progression of two separated feuds. Championship Wrestling: Mil Mascaras in action, nice. I like his arrogance when it comes to proclaiming himself one of the top talents in the world. Wouldn't mind to see him get involved with the WWF World Heavyweight Champion, Jimmy Snuka in the future. The Masked Superstar and Mascaras could have a nice series of matches. Big John Studd's interview was pretty good, just to get him over before facing Snuka. Tito Santana's interview was great, wondering what the outcome of his match with Don Muraco over the WWF Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship will be. Ivan Putski and Paul Orndorff sounds like it could be okay, but it's clear who is going over. The Invaders on Piper's Pit was fun, liked Roddy Piper and David Schultz' mocking of them. Interesting set up to the Madison Square Garden show, coincidentally eleven years before my birthday. All-Star Wrestling: The Iron Sheik's interview on Jimmy Snuka sounded good, this match at the Spectrum should be a winner for sure. Greg Valentine's interview on Tito Santana was cool, looking forward to this encounter for sure, two great technicians. Sgt Slaughter and Don Muraco should be a stiff match as well. Wrestling at the Chase: Jimmy Snuka's interview segment was nice, liked Big John Studd's involvement, basically attacking Snuka verbally. David Schultz and Tito Santana could easily steal the show at the Checkerdome. Jolly good week for television in my eyes, everything's progressing quite fine.

Madison Square Garden – 3/25/84We are in The Most Famous Arena in the world for another stacked WWF Card. Gorilla Monsoon & Gene Okerlund welcome us to the show and mention our main events of Jimmy Snuka defending his WWF Title against Big John Studd and Don Muraco defending his WWF Intercontinental Championship against Tito Santana. As well as Andre the Giant taking on The Iron Sheik once again. We go to Howard Finkel who begins the introductions for the first match. Handicap Match Sgt Slaughter vs. Mr Fuji & Tiger Chung LeeThe Hype: Sgt Slaughter has recently shown a different side to him than the arrogant, obnoxious drill sergeant that we’ve grown used to. Slaughter now is very vocal about how patriotic he is and fights for the USA and encourages the fans to support his cause. This change was evident during a Championship Wrestling bout between Jimmy Snuka and Tiger Chung Lee, in which Fuji & Lee ganged up on Snuka and Slaughter came out to aid Snuka. Slaughter has since been very vocal about the anti-USA attitudes that Fuji & Lee have been demonstrating in badmouthing the USA and their wrestlers and how people from the Orient were far superior in every. Slaughter is glad to take on both Fuji & Lee in a handicap match and teach them a thing or two about the USA. Will he be successful in his bid or will Fuji & Lee indeed be too much for the patriotic Slaughter. The Match: Sgt Slaughter started off with Tiger Chung Lee and as the two tied up Slaughter easily shoved him off to a loud USA chant from the crowd. Slaughter then began delivering blows to Lee punishing him before hitting a suplex on him. Mr Fuji then jumped in the ring but he received a back body drop for his troubles. Slaughter then went over to Fuji and tossed him from the ring. This distraction allowed for Lee though delivering a blow to the back of Slaughter and knocking him to the mat. Lee began to work over Slaughters back elbows and body locks. Fuji & Lee then began to work over Slaughter in the corner, taking advantage of any opportunities they saw to bend the rules. It looked like Fuji & Lee had the match in control before Slaughter suddenly began feeling it and came out with a rush of momentum knocking down Fuji & Lee by banging their heads together. Slaughter then delivered a Slaughter Cannon to Lee and followed it up by applying The Cobra Clutch to Fuji and Fuji submitted to give Slaughter the win to the delight of the crowd. The Result: Sgt Slaughter defeated Mr Fuji & Tiger Chung Lee in 7:01 after Slaughter locked Fuji in a Cobra Clutch After the match Tiger Chung Lee attempted to attack Slaughter but he too was treated to a Cobra Clutch. Slaughter then went to ringside and grabbed an American Flag and began to wave it to chants of USA. Paul Orndorff vs. Ivan PutskiThe Hype: This one is perhaps a battle of the two most impressive physiques in the WWF. “Mr Wonderful” has been on quite the roll lately using his vicious Piledriver to take both Bob Backlund & Pat Patterson out of commission. Ivan Putski has been one of the most popular superstars for years with his impressive physique and humorous, likeable attitude to wrestling. “Polish Power” has been a mainstay in the WWF and has used his power to dominate opponents. “Mr Wonderful” has been claiming that Ivan Putski is jealous because someone has come along with a more impressive body than him and that he is going to put Putski out of commission with The Piledriver and Putski has been claiming that Orndorff has no respect and he’s going to beat it to him. This rivalry of the bodies all comes to a head in Madison Square Garden. The Match: Paul Orndorff began by slowly taking his robe and flexing his muscles, Putski then flexed his to the cheers of the crowd who were firmly in his corner. Putski & Orndorff finally tied up and Putski won the battle backing Orndorff into the corner to the shock of “Mr Wonderful”. They tied up again and this time Orndorff got the head of Putski and locked him a headlock and began laughing. Putski however tossed him into the rope and knocked him down with a body block sending Orndorff to the floor. Orndorff began pacing around, apparently never being overpowered like this before. Putski then got outside the ring and tossed Orndorff in, but Orndorff capitalised on Putski getting back in the ring by stomping him. Orndorff then began to work over Putski keeping him on the mat. Orndorff then began ramming Putski’s head into the corner post. Orndorff however got too cocky posing to the crowd and Putski turned the tables ramming his head into the corner. Putski then delivered a side suplex for a near pinfall. Putski then continued the assault on Orndorff delivering blow after blow and sent Orndorff into the ropes resulting in him being tied up in them. Orndorff was finally let free by the ref but once done he was tossed hard into the turnbuckle by Putski. Putski went over to Orndorff but Orndorff countered and through Putski shoulder first into the ring post. Orndorff then followed that up with a Piledriver and picked up the victory. The Result: Paul Orndorff defeated Ivan Putski in 9:58 Tag Team Match Roddy Piper & David Schultz vs. The InvadersThe Hype: Piper & Schultz are the new team on the block and have caused a lot of controversy in their short time already. Roddy Piper runs a talk show called Pipers Pit and this is where this tiff started between these two teams. Piper’s guests were The Invaders and Piper was his usual controversial self, taking cheap shots whenever he could about The Invaders. The Invaders looked like they were ready to attack Piper before David Schultz stepped in the way. The Invaders are the more experienced team have teamed together around the world for a while now, their unorthodox style has led to many victories for the team. Will Piper & Schultz pick up a victory in their first MSG match as a team or will The Invaders style confound Piper & Schultz and lead to another victory for them? The Match: The match started off with Piper the illegal man yelling at Invader #1 the legal man. Invader #1 went over to Piper frustrated and Schultz attacked him from behind. Schultz then began working over #1 and he and Piper made frequent tags to each other to work over The Invader. However it didn’t last forever as Invader #1 fought back and took Piper over to their corner. Now The Invaders worked over Roddy Piper in their corner making regular tags. One Invader would hit a move tag out and the other would do the same. Invader #2 hit a Sunset Flip on Piper but Schultz broke up the cover and Piper & Schultz once again took command of the match. Piper then held Invader #2 in the corner whilst Schultz delivered punches to him, however Invader #2 soon gained back the control of the match, however as he was coming off the ropes Piper moved across and put his knee into Invader #2’s back, Schultz then delivered a back suplex and followed it up with a diving forearm smash to pick up the victory for his team. The Result: Roddy Piper & David Schultz defeated The Invaders in 9:17 after Schultz pinned Invader #2 after a diving Forearm Smash. Grudge Match The Iron Sheik (w/ Freddie Blassie) vs. Andre the GiantThe Hype: This rivalry has been going on across the northeast and America as these two clearly hate each other. Sheik blames Andre for him losing the WWF Title and hasn’t let it go since, these contests haven’t had a clear winner usually resulting in one or both men getting disqualified or counted out. These two clearly have an intense hatred for one another and it has usually resulted in physical contests. Sheik & Andre have been trading words as well with Sheik saying he was going to be the first man to make Andre submit when he applies The Camel Clutch, whilst Andre is intent on shutting up Sheik & his manager Freddie Blassie once and for all. This long standing rivalry may finally reach its conclusion in what is sure to be another brawl. Will the streak of Andre come to an end or has Sheik bitten off more than he can chew? The Match: Sheik started off the match by attempting a single leg takedown but it was to no avail as Andre just flung Sheik off. Sheik then charged at Andre but Andre stood firm and Sheik bounced off of him. Andre gave Sheik a wry smirk as Sheik banged the mat in frustration. Andre then rag dolled Sheik into the corner and charged him with a splash. Andre then delivered a body slam to Sheik and got a near pinfall. Andre then stepped on Sheik and stood on top of him as Sheik yelled in pain. Andre then picked up Sheik and dragged him over to the corner and delivered a chop to Sheik. Freddie Blassie had decided he had seen enough and got up on the ring apron and began screaming at Andre the distraction proved effective as Sheik drove a knee into Andre’s back dropping Andre to one knee. Sheik then started delivering blows to Andre’s back knocking him fully down. Sheik then locked in a Sleeper hold and it looked like it might be working on the Giant, however Andre recovered and stood up with Sheik on his back and rammed him into the turnbuckle, Sheik then rolled to the outside and Andre followed him out there. Sheik & Andre began trading blows on the floor as the referee began his count. Andre seemed to be getting the better of Sheik and tossed him in at the 8 count. Freddie Blassie then distracted Andre for just long enough as he got on the apron at the 10 count and The Iron Sheik had shockingly defeated Andre the Giant via count-out. The Result: The Iron Sheik defeated Andre the Giant via count-out in 8:10 Sheik rolled out of the ring and began celebrating with Freddie Blassie like he had just won the Superbowl. Andre pleaded with the referee and tossed him aside as he began to chase after The Iron Sheik and Freddie Blassie who were now running away on the ramp. Andre stood at ringside and slammed his fist on the ring apron frustrated at what had happened. The Iron Sheik is interviewed backstage by Vince McMahon after his victory. Sheik said that he proved tonight by defeating Andre the Giant that The Iron Sheik is number one wrestler in all the world and that Iran is the greatest country in the world. He says none of these stooges in America or anywhere can defeat The Iron Sheik. WWF Tag Team Championship Rocky Johnson & Tony Atlas vs. Dick Murdoch & Adrian AdonisThe Hype: Rocky Johnson & Tony Atlas have been on a roll since they won the WWF Tag Team Championships back in November. Now a new challenger steps up in the form of The North-South Connection of Dick Murdoch & Adrian Adonis. Murdoch & Adonis have been claiming that Johnson & Atlas have been ducking them, well now they can’t claim that any longer as they get their shot at the WWF Tag Team Championships in Madison Square Garden. Murdoch & Adonis have been on a big time roll since they’ve arrived in the WWF and have definitely earned their shot at the tag champs. Murdoch & Adonis have been running their mouth about how scared Johnson & Atlas are as well as insulting their intelligence and heritage, whilst Johnson & Atlas prefer to leave their talking for the ring. This one is sure to be a brutal affair, which tag team will come out on top of this battle? The Match: Rocky Johnson started off the match with Dick Murdoch. Murdoch stood in his corner talking with Adonis apparently not interested in tying up with Johnson. Johnson decided he had had enough and went over to Murdoch who got out of the way and now Johnson was stuck in Adonis & Murdoch’s corner with Adonis holding him for Murdoch to deliver a blow. Murdoch swung but Johnson escaped the hold and Murdoch blasted his own partner off the ring apron, Johnson then delivered a dropkick to Murdoch knocking him out of the ring as Murdoch and Adonis recovered on the outside. Murdoch then tied up with Johnson and gained the advantage with a side headlock but Johnson countered it by sending Murdoch into the ropes and delivering another dropkick. Johnson then tagged in Atlas who began punching Murdoch. Atlas & Johnson kept Murdoch in the ring and seemed to be dominating him with Murdoch not having much of an answer. It only took one mistake as Johnson missed a cross body and Murdoch gained the advantage working over Johnson. Adonis finally stepped into the match and began stomping on Johnson. Murdoch and Adonis then began to work over Johnson keeping him grounded with a variety of holds and strikes. Murdoch then went for a suplex but Johnson blocked it and hit a suplex of his own. Johnson then made a tag to Atlas who came out on fire knocking down Adonis & Murdoch, Atlas then threw Adonis out of the ring and made the tag to Johnson who delivered his patented shuffle punches and followed it up with a cross body. He covered Murdoch and got the three count. However Murdoch’s foot was seen to be on the bottom rope, however Johnson & Atlas were awarded the victory. The Result: Rocky Johnson & Tony Atlas defeated Dick Murdoch & Adrian Adonis in 12:30 after Johnson pinned Murdoch after a cross body Johnson & Atlas celebrated their victory as a replay was shown that Murdoch did indeed get his foot on the bottom rope. Murdoch & Adonis began shouting at the referee. Murdoch then punched referee Dick Kroll right in the face knocking him down as the challengers looked displeased with the outcome. Greg “The Hammer” Valentine vs. Chief Jay StrongbowThe Match: Greg “The Hammer” Valentine recently returned to the WWF last month with one goal and that was to finally win the WWF Gold that eluded him in his previous runs. He won’t have an easy path to the title though as he meets an old foe in Chief Jay Strongbow. Valentine & Strongbow had a series of matches in 1979 which took its toll on both men. Valentine actually managed to break Strongbow’s leg during the feud with his figure four leg lock. In this rivalry renewed who will walk out on top? The Match: These two old rivals once again locked up and looked evenly matched in strength even with the age difference. They let go and tied up again and this time Valentine locked in a side headlock and dragged Strongbow down to the mat. Valentine seemed relentless squeezing as hard as he could against Strongbow’s skull. Strongbow managed to fight out though and delivered a back suplex to Valentine. Strongbow then locked in his own side headlock wearing down Valentine. Valentine however fought out by rolling over and nearly pinning Strongbow but forcing him to release the hold. Valentine & Strongbow then traded blows, Strongbow was gaining the advantage but Valentine advantageously poked Strongbow in the eyes. Valentine then grabbed Strongbow’s leg and took him down and applied the figure four leg lock. Strongbow attempted to fight it but Valentine had it locked in tight forcing Strongbow to tap out. The Result: Greg Valentine defeated Chief Jay Strongbow in 8:15 after a Figure Four Leg Lock Valentine continued to apply the figure four to Strongbow after the bell and officials had to pull Valentine off the hold. Valentine walked off with a smug look on his face as Strongbow clutched his left leg in pain. Jimmy Snuka was backstage being interviewed by Vince McMahon. Snuka said that the time has come Studd and that the two of them will walk into that ring and only one will be walking back here with this title. Snuka said he will not be intimidated by Big John Studd, he said he is going to bring the fight to Studd and plans on doing what it takes to finish off Studd. He said that Studd is going to see a Superfly splashing right down on top of him and he will make sure he leaves still the WWF Champion. WWF Heavyweight Championship Jimmy Snuka vs. Big John StuddThe Hype: Ever since Jimmy Snuka won the WWF Heavyweight Championship, wrestlers of all shapes and sizes have been lining up to get a shot and they don’t get much bigger than Big John Studd. Studd was one of the first to challenge Snuka, even attempting to interrupt his celebration immediately after the match. Studd has been claiming he is the most dominant person in the WWF and it’s hard to argue against that. Studd laid a claim to his dominance in the first ever Kiel Auditorium show in February last eliminating Snuka. Snuka is a fighting champion though and hasn’t been intimidated by Studd’s bullying tactics. This rivalry has really heated up in recent weeks starting with Studd taking on Snuka’s friend and protégé The Tonga Kid and Studd attacking Kid after the match was over leading to Snuka running out to make the save. Last week on Championship Wrestling we saw Studd attack Snuka after his match and leave him lying on the canvas after leaving him out of it after a Bearhug. Perhaps that is an image that will replicated tonight as Studd leaves Snuka out as he becomes WWF Heavyweight Champion or will Snuka continue the roll he has been on and stop “the bully” Studd in his tracks? The Match: The two men circled each other for a bit before locking up Studd easily shoved Snuka off and began laughing at Snuka. Snuka then charged at with a jumping chop, he then delivered some kicks and punches and rattled Studd and sent him reeling. Studd however gained back the advantage and locked Snuka in a rear body lock attempting to squeeze the life out of him. Snuka fought out with an elbow to Studd and followed it up with an attempted cross body. Studd however caught Snuka and delivered a backbreaker to Snuka and non-chalantly covered Snuka for a 2 count. Studd then body slammed Snuka for another 2 count and locked him in another body lock. Snuka then fought back again and again rattled Studd with his array of chops, kicks, punches and a dropkick for good measure. Studd fell back and bumped into the referee knocking him out of the ring. Studd rolled to the outside looking stunned that Snuka could do this to him. Studd walked over and brought a steel chair into the ring. Studd went to swing it but Snuka ripped it from his hands. Snuka then swung the chair at Studd connecting to his back as the referee had come to and saw Snuka swinging the chair. The Result: Big John Studd defeated Jimmy Snuka via disqualification in 9:15 Big John Studd had picked up the DQ victory but Snuka was relentless, he now mounted Studd and began punching him. Studd threw Snuka off of him and got to his feet as Snuka came flying at Studd, the two continued to brawl before finally being restrained. Studd had picked up a controversial victory but it appeared the war would continue. Gene Okerlund was standing at ringside and introduced Bob Backlund, who was sitting at ringside. Okerlund asked Backlund what his plans were and how his recovery was coming along. Backlund said he was healing faster than expected and he expects to be back in the WWF ring within a month. He said once he gets back there he has a message he needs to deliver to Paul Orndorff and speak of the devil, Paul Orndorff came down to ringside and began trash talking with Backlund. Backlund then stood up and looked like he was about to jump the barricade apparently not concerned about his injury, but Orndorff backed off and laughed, still mouthing off at Backlund as an infuriated Backlund sat back in his seat saying he was coming for Orndorff. Battle of the Masks The Masked Superstar vs. Mil MascarasThe Hype: These are the two most well-known and successful masked wrestlers in the world of all time. Mil Mascaras is an international star from Mexico having won championships around the world thanks to his unorthodox style and his mask has become synonymous within the wrestling world. The Masked Superstar is a domineering figure, using his brute force and strength to win matches and his mask has been used to intimidate opponents. Whilst The Masked Superstar isn’t afraid to pack a weapon into his mask, Mascaras wears his because of the heritage of Mexican wrestling. Both of these wrestlers have a claim to being the top masked wrestler in the world, who will be able to prove it in this clash of styles? The Match: Masked Superstar started out with a hammerlock on Mascaras and began to work him to the mat. Superstar gained the early upper hand overpowering Mascaras with his size and strength. Mascaras however got to his feet and tossed Superstar over his body he then and delivered a cross body knocking Superstar down. Mascaras was feeling it and continued the fast paced offense with dropkicks and an arm drag. Mascaras then whipped Superstar into the corner and went for a cross body in the corner but Superstar ducked and Mascaras went into the turnbuckle sternum first. Superstar then hit a side suplex for a near two count. Superstar began stomping at Mascaras and began shouting stuff at him. Superstar then hit an atomic drop for another near pin fall. Superstar then looked like he had a great idea and as has happened to him on many occasions he attempted to rip the mask off of his opponent. Mascaras however fought out and hip-tossed Superstar. He then decided to turn the tables and attempted to pull Superstars mask off. Superstar however fought out. Superstar hit a lariat for a near pinfall. Superstar then went for a vertical suplex but Mascaras reversed it mid move and fell on top of Superstar. Mascaras then locked in an innovative Surfboard stretch on Superstar. It looked like Superstar was going to quit, but he used his strength to flip Mascaras over. Superstar then delivered a backbreaker to Mascaras and then picked him up and whipped him into the ropes. On the rebound Mascaras hit a flying chop sending Superstar down. Mascaras then ascended the top rope and delivered a flying cross body to Superstar pinning him for the three count. The Result: Mil Mascaras defeated The Masked Superstar in 12:11 after a Diving Cross Body Vince McMahon was backstage interviewing Don Muraco on his thoughts about his match with Tito Santana, Muraco had a cocky smile on his face as the crowd booed at the view of his face. Muraco said he’s done his talking an now it’s time to back it all up and show the world what he has been saying for weeks is true. He said Santana is pretty good for a “wetback”, but he is a few notches above where Santana is at, he said he is the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time and this is just business as usual. We then go to Tito Santana for his thoughts on this match. He was breathing very heavily and had an intense look on his face. He said Muraco has made him angry like no one ever has before, he has come so close to winning the Intercontinental Championship, so close to fulfilling his dream and he was going to stop at nothing to win this match. He said his parents are at ringside for this match and he was going to them, his whole country and himself proud tonight and make sure he pinned Muraco. He then said something in Spanish as the crowd cheered at what Santana was saying. WWF Intercontinental Championship Don Muraco vs. Tito SantanaThe Hype: This rivalry has been ongoing for pretty much the entirety of 1984. Don Muraco has been Intercontinental Champion for over a year and despite his attitude has been a fighting champion, taking on the best of them. Tito Santana has stepped up to the plate this year and has been looking to take advantage of the opportunity of a lifetime. Last month in Madison Square Garden Tito Santana came so close to becoming Intercontinental Champion but unfortunately for him Muraco fell out of the ring after the Flying Forearm. Muraco has been running his mouth about Santana claiming the “wetback” isn’t in his league and that he is the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time. The usually calm demenored Santana has become irate with Muraco’s actions and this has been one heated feud. Will Santana finally fulfil his dream or will Muraco cement another notch in his legacy as Intercontinental Champion? The Match: Santana was keen to lock up with Muraco however Muraco was taking his time and stalling to boos from the crowd. Muraco then hopped out of the ring and Santana had decided he had had enough and chased after Muraco around the ring. Muraco ran around and in the ring attempting to escape Santana before Santana finally caught him and locked him in a headlock. Muraco attempted to power out with a back suplex but Santana rolled through and now had the headlock applied on the ground and nearly gained a couple of pinfalls. Muraco finally escaped from the hold with an atomic drop and followed it up by ramming Santana into the turnbuckle. He repeatedly rammed Santana’s head into the turnbuckle. Muraco then hit a powerslam for a near pinfall. Muraco then worked over Santana with a chinlock whilst digging his knee into Santana’s back. Santana fought out and the two men traded blows. Santana went to whip Muraco into the corner but Muraco reversed it and whipped Santana into the corner. Muraco then charged at Santana but Santana raised his knee Santana then tossed Muraco head first into the top of the ring post resulting in Muraco being busted open. Santana let out a primal scream before pounding Muraco on his cut resulting in him getting more busted open. Muraco seemed to be pleading with Santana before grabbing his tights and tossing him from the ring. Santana then pulled Muraco out of the ring and began to repeatedly trade blows with Muraco. They got back in the ring and continued to brawl with no real technique to just exchanging punches. Muraco then raked the eyes of Santana and bought himself some time to recover his face now full of blood. Muraco hit a vertical suplex on Santana for a near fall. Muraco then locked in a Boston Crab to Santana and Santana fought in it for around a minute, finally getting to the ropes. Both men looked exhausted, this war having taken a toll on both of them. Santana got up on the other side of the ropes and as Muraco charged leapt over and hit a sunset flip for a near pinfall. Muraco got up and kicked Santana in the gut and looked like he was setting up for a Piledriver however Santana back-dropped out of the grip and then ran off the ropes and delivered a Flying Forearm. This time Muraco stayed in the ring as Santana covered him to get the pinfall and win the Intercontinental Championship. The Result: Tito Santana defeated Don Muraco in 19:16 after a Flying Forearm to become the NEW WWF Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion Santana was ecstatic not believing he had won. He went over to his parents in the front row with his Intercontinental Title and hugged his mom. Santana celebrated at ringside as the crowd were on their feet applauding Santana and the broadcast went off the air.

Surprised Murdoch & Adonis didn't win the belts, but I do think they'll be the next champions eventually. Snuka losing his mind and causing the DQ was a nice way to keep the belt on him. John Studd was a Goliath of a man. Main Event title change for the Intercontinental Championship was awesome, always enjoyed Tito Santana. Here's too a long, exciting reign for him. Iron Sheik beating Andre the Giant by count out works, Andre's hardly going to loose by pinfall at this point. Still quite the upset for Sheik at this point. Enjoying your use of Mill Mascaras also.

Let me just say that I've been entertained by the Jimmy Snuka title reign. I kind of wish the texas death match with Sheik was on a MSG show or something, but oh well. I'm assuming that we will soon see a Slaughter/Sheik feud since Slaughter has changed roles? I'm liking the rise of Paul Ornrdorff. Perhaps he will be line to get a shot at Snuka soon. The Sheik/Andre match was okay, and the finish made sense. I just can't ever imagine Sheik pinning or making Andre submit. The finish to the tag team title match surely sets up a rematch with the challengers getting the better of the champs that time around. Interesting to see where the Snuka/Studd goes. I don't see Studd winning the championship or anything, though. I liked the development between Backlund/Orndorff. A very good main event and special moment for Tito Santana. A very good show all around, I thought. Great job.

LA Auditorium 3/31 Andre the Giant won an 18 man $20,000 battle royal WWF Intercontinental Champion Tito Santana defeated Don Muraco Roddy Piper & David Schultz defeated The Invaders Rocky Johnson & Dick Murdoch fought to a double count-out Paul Orndorff defeated Ivan Putski B. Brian Blair defeated Samula Sgt Slaughter defeated Alexis Smirnoff
Report & Notes: Andre the Giant got a measure of revenge against The Iron Sheik on this night as the $20,000 battle royal came down to him and Sheik and it was Andre who got the better of Sheik tossing out to be the last man standing. Tito Santana & Don Muraco fought over the Intercontinental Championship this time it was Tito as champion. Tito picked up another hard fought victory after Muraco was in control most of the match but made a mistake charging at Santana in the corner who hit a Sunset Flip and shocked Muraco for a three count. It was also announced at this show that Adrian Adonis had broken a hand so the preplanned tag title match was changed to a singles bout between Dick Murdoch & Rocky Johnson which resulted in a no contest after both men brawled out of control. Paul Orndorff defeated Ivan Putski for the second time this week. After the bout he grabbed a microphone and said he had the best body in the WWF and said he was ready to take out Bob Backlund again when he returns. Ivan Putski though chased Orndorff away and said even though he lost he was going to treat the crowd with a singing of “Melody of Love”.
Championship Wrestling 3/31 (Taped on 3/27, airing in New York) Bob Orton Jr. defeated Steve Lombardi in 3:13 with a Superplex Update on Tito Santana Interview with Tito Santana Tito Santana defeated Frankie Williams in 2:26 with a Flying Forearm Sgt Slaughter defeated Israel Matia in 1:11 with a Cobra Clutch Pipers Pit with Rocky Johnson & Tony Atlas B. Brian Blair defeated Johnny Ringo in 2:38 with an Abdominal Stretch into an inside cradle MSG 4/23 Interviews with Jimmy Snuka, Big John Studd & Paul Orndorff Roddy Piper & David Schultz defeated Fransisco Vasquez & Fred Marzino Paul Orndorff defeated Salvatore Bellomo in 4:47 with a Piledriver
Report & Notes: New Intercontinental champion Tito Santana was interviewed regarding his title victory at MSG. Santana said that this was the proudest moment of his life and this title was for all his people in Mexico, he said it felt so good to finally pin Muraco and finally achieve the dream of what he had been training for, fighting for and living for his whole life. He then said something in Spanish as the crowd cheered. Clips of Santana’s title win were also show on the update prior to him picking up a victory on the night. Santana’s opponent for MSG on 4/23 was announced and it will be none other than “Mr Wonderful” Paul Orndorff. Orndorff picked up a win in the feature bout over Salvatore Bellomo. Bellomo got some offense in but Orndorff looked like a class above picking up the win with a Piledriver. Orndorff was interviewed regarding his match. He said he was born to carry gold and how he was the most gifted athlete in the WWF and he was going to cut that out of shape overrated chicano thugs title reign short and probably cut his career short when he nails the Piledriver. A rematch was also announced between Jimmy Snuka & Big John Studd for the WWF Heavyweight Championship as well. Both Snuka & Studd were interviewed about this match. Snuka said that Studd has infuriated him like little have been able and you don’t want to bring out this side of Snuka. This side of Snuka doesn’t care about broken bones, about bleeding. This side of The Superfly only cares about punishing his opponent and making sure that he puts it all on the line to defend this title against someone like Studd. Studd had a counter to that by saying that a volatile Snuka is going to make mistakes and how he is calm & cool and he’s just treating this as business like usual. He said he’ll make Snuka regret that assault he put on him at MSG and bring that title to the most dominant man in the WWF. WWF Tag Team Champions Rocky Johnson & Tony Atlas were the guests on Pipers Pit this week. Once again Roddy Piper brought along partner David Schultz. Piper said he couldn’t comprehend that these two baboons were the WWF Tag Team Champions. Johnson & Atlas stared a whole through Piper who responded by saying he knows Johnson & Atlas don’t understand simple English and the words that are coming out of his mouth and that he would’ve gotten them a dictionary but it’d just go to waste, he then said he’d try to speak their language from now on and began making Monkey noises. Johnson & Atlas stood up and Atlas told Piper to shut his mouth or they’d shut it for him. Schultz & Piper began to laugh amongst one another, Schultz then asked Piper if he could beat these losers up Johnson & Atlas beat Schultz to the punch though and attacked Piper & Schultz, both teams then began brawling on the set of Pipers Pit. Piper managed to get a thumb to the eye of Atlas and Schultz followed it up by slamming one of the chairs into Atlas’ back, shattering it. Piper & Schultz also managed to pick a victory on the night, continuing the roll they were on. Eventually both teams were restrained before things could get more out of hand. Bob Orton Jr. also made his televised return to the WWF on this show. Orton picked up a victory and seemed like a man on a mission in doing it. Other winners on the night were Sgt Slaughter & B. Brian Blair.
All Star Wrestling 3/31 (Taped on 3/28, airing in The Philadelphia region) Iron Mike Sharpe defeated Victor Rivera in 3:02 with a Forearm Blast The Tonga Kid defeated Victor Mercado with a cross body in 3:19 The British Bulldogs defeated Pete Sanchez & Ken Jugan in 4:09 after Smith pinned Sanchez with a diving headbutt Pipers Pit with Rocky Johnson & Tony Atlas (Championship Wrestling 3/31) The Wild Samoans defeated Bob Bradley, Pat Hutchinson & Rudy Diamond in 4:47 after Sika pinned Diamond with a Headbutt Philadelphia Spectrum interviews 4/21 with Greg Valentine, Tito Santana, Sgt Slaughter & Andre the Giant Bob Orton Jr. defeated Fransisco Vasquez in 2:21 with a Superplex Sgt Slaughter defeated Jerry Valiant in 2:59 with a Cobra Clutch
Report & Notes: Tito Santana vs. Greg Valentine was now changed to an Intercontinental Title match due to Santana winning the title. Valentine & Santana were both interviewed regarding this match. Valentine said he now had the extra motivation he needed to make sure that he broke Tito’s legs and make sure he would be the one walking out with the Intercontinental Championship that has eluded him for so long. Santana said that he and Valentine were evenly matched last time they fought and he was looking forward to facing Valentine again, now he had this title he was going to prove that he is worthy of it and no matter what Santana wanted to throw at him he would keep coming to ensure he walks out with this title, he followed this up with something in Spanish. Another rematch from the last Spectrum card was confirmed as Sgt Slaughter would face Don Muraco. Slaughter was interviewed and said, he used to go around calling everyone a maggot but Muraco was one of the biggest maggots he had ever seen. He said he is everything an American fighter is not, when he chickened out and got himself counted out he proved he was a coward and whilst he is upset that he wasn’t the one to take the title from him, he is going to teach him a lesson in pride. Andre the Giant was interviewed about his match with Paul Orndorff. Andre said that Orndorff has impressed him in the ring and physique for sure and he is taking his match with Orndorff very seriously and isn’t counting out the possibility of him becoming the first one to pin him. He said though he’s looking forward to getting some revenge for his friend Bob Backlund & he might have some fun with Orndorff in the ring.
Wrestling at the Chase Bob Orton Jr. defeated Tony Garea (Checkerdome 3/2) Andre the Giant defeated The Iron Sheik via disqualification (Checkerdome 3/2) Ivan Putski defeated Butcher Vachon (All-Star Wrestling 3/24) Kiel Auditorium 4/6 Interviews with Big John Studd, Jimmy Snuka & David Schultz Tito Santana defeated Don Muraco (Madison Square Garden 3/25) * Match joined in progress
Report & Notes: Primarily to hype up the Kiel Auditorium show next week we got interviews from Big John Studd & Jimmy Snuka regarding their match-up. Studd said the little monkey has squirmed his way narrowly escaping with the title on multiple occasions, he said Snuka’s luck will run out in The Kiel Auditorium, he said he already threw out Snuka to win $40,000 in the Kiel and now he’ll punish Snuka and defeat him to be WWF Heavyweight Champion. Snuka said that this rivalry has gotten personal and that these two don’t like each other and that their matches are wars. He said is prepared for another war in the Kiel and that he will make sure he comes out on the right side of that war. Since Tito Santana won the Intercontinental Championship all previously scheduled matches were now changed to Intercontinental Title matches. That included his match with David Schultz in the Kiel Auditorium. Schultz was interviewed and said he was stunned that the wetback actually managed to win The Intercontinental, but that just works in his favour. Schultz said he was the toughest, craziest son of a bitch in the WWF and he was going to fix the mistake and take that WWF Intercontinental Championship and mount it on his wall next to the heads of grizzly bears he had successfully hunted because Santana was not as tough as a Grizzly Bear.

WWF week 14 1984USA vs. IranSgt Slaughter and The Iron Sheik have been trading words in the past few weeks but this week the rivalry took a physical turn. Sgt Slaughter picked up a victory on Championship Wrestling and grabbed a microphone after the bout. He then said that he knows he used to be an obnoxious guy and call people maggots, but he realised who the biggest maggots of them all are. He then said that he turned on his television and heard another one of his brothers in arms died whilst fighting for the freedom of the people in this country and that made him look at things in a different light, he realised that the true maggots were guys like The Iron Sheik and his maggot manager Freddie Blassie who turned his back on the greatest country of them all. He said these two constantly come out and trash the USA and when he sees one of his brothers dying and these MAGGOTS trashing America he has to take a stand, he said he’s going to make Sheik & Blassie pay one of these days. Slaughter then began to lead the crowd in the pledge of allegiance when The Iron Sheik came down to the ring and assaulted Sgt Slaughter to massive boos from the crowd. Sheik started laying his boot in to Slaughter before getting a belt and whipping Slaughter with it. These two will finally collide at Madison Square Garden on 4/23 in a one on one match up. Snuka and Studd in a CageSnuka and Studd had another match at the Kiel Auditorium this week and once again a decisive winner was not found as they battled to a double count-out. It was announced on Wrestling at the Chase though that these two will collide in a steel cage match at the next Kiel Auditorium show in May where there will hopefully be a decisive winner. Snuka & Studd both gave their thoughts on this on Wrestling at the Chase. Studd said that Snuka can no longer run away from him and squeak out with the title. He said he’s going to punish Snuka and then he’s going to walk out of the cage as the new WWF Heavyweight Champion. Snuka said he knows what it’s like to be in a cage, he said you are trapped and you know there is a very good chance that you will not be walking out of there unscathed. He said he’s willing to make history again and come flying off of that cage onto Studd and he doesn’t care how many bones are broken, how much blood he bleeds he is making sure he walks out of there still with this world title in his hands. Valentine can't put Blair awayThe feature bout on Championship Wrestling this week saw Greg Valentine take on B. Brian Blair. Valentine thought this was going to be a cakewalk but Blair was resilient and kept coming at Valentine. Valentine’s frustration eventually got the better of him as he and Blair engaged in a brawl with Valentine shoving the referee away causing a no contest. Valentine went to lock the figure four on Blair after the match but got shoved off and sent tumbling out of the ring. Blair told Valentine to get back in the ring as Valentine looked visibly frustrated at his inability to put Blair away. Piper's Pit with Tito SantanaTito Santana was the guest on Pipers Pit this week on Championship Wrestling. Piper shook his head and said he didn’t understand how this guy is the Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion. Santana told Piper he’d be willing to show him why he is Intercontinental Champion in the ring. Piper assured Santana that if they ever stepped foot in the ring that he would mop the floor with him. Santana told Piper he sure does talk a lot and it’s about time he backed up all this talk before standing up and staring down Piper. Piper told Santana to sit down and that he should learn some respect because this is his show and he makes the rules. Santana told Piper he was nothing but a loud-mouthed wimp. Piper told Santana he was a real man and for Santana to keep his stupid comments to himself and how he wasn’t impressed with Santana not one bit. Santana tried to talk but Piper cut him off saying he wasn’t going to be talking anymore as Piper continued to berate him. Santana then got up and told Piper that real men don’t wear skirts and that if he wants to talk again to meet him in the ring and they’ll have a good talk before walking off the set. Piper then said that if Santana doesn’t flee the country stealing the belt and sell it off like he expects him to he’ll lose that belt soon enough. Piper's Pit with B. Brian BlairB. Brian Blair was the guest on the All-Star edition of Piper’s Pit. Piper said he didn’t usually have losers like Blair on Pipers Pit but people had written letters to him and said they wanted B. Brian Blair to be on his show. Piper said it was probably Blair’s family but he’s all about pleasing the legions of fans of Piper’s Pit. Piper then mentioned that Blair was an accomplished amateur wrestler. Blair confirmed this and said he was successful in High School and Collegiate wrestling and that it was great to be living his dream in the WWF and that he has a dream to wrestle in the Olympics for the USA as well. Piper mockingly asked him how that was going and Blair said he was unsuccessful but he was no shame as the US Team is very strong and he expects them to kick ass in Los Angeles in the Olympics this year. Piper said he doesn’t think that’s true and that Blair and the US Team are note very good at all. Blair then told Piper if he wanted to test him in Amateur wrestling. Piper told him alright and got up but before he began said he had a sore neck and told “Dr D” to take his place. Schultz & Blair then engaged in a lock up and Blair took Schultz down before Piper stomped Blair on the back, Blair then rolled away yelling at Piper in the process as Piper held an agitated Schultz back from attacking Blair. Tag Team Rivalry Heats UpLast week saw a very physical Pipers Pit with Rocky Johnson & Tony Atlas and the physical tension continued this week. On Championship Wrestling Rocky Johnson & Tony Atlas picked up a victory and Piper & Schultz were coming down to the ring for their match next, the two teams got in a very heated shouting match in the aisle. During the match Piper & Schultz looked like they were taking their anger out on their opponents when Johnson & Atlas came down to the ring and attacked Piper & Schultz causing a disqualification. The two teams brawled before being separated and it was announced that a huge match had been signed for next week as Rocky Johnson & Tony Atlas would defend their Tag Team titles against Roddy Piper & David Schultz on Championship Wrestling. The Challengers are Lining UpSince Tito Santana has become Intercontinental Champion the challengers have been coming from all directions. Santana managed to defeat David Schultz at the Kiel Auditorium show but he still has Greg Valentine to get passed in Philadelphia and then “Mr Wonderful” Paul Orndorff at Madison Square Garden. Santana gave some words on Orndorff and his match with him at Madison Square Garden on 4/23. Santana said that Orndorff may well be his toughest test yet, he said he knows that if he takes the Piledriver it is all over but by the same merit if he hits the Flying Forearm it is all over. He said he has too much pride and heart to let Orndorff win the belt before saying something in Spanish. Both he and Valentine also gave their words on their match at the Philadelphia Spectrum. Valentine continued promising he would break Santana’s leg with his figure four leg lock whilst Santana told Valentine that he should stop talking about locking him in the figure four leg lock and actually do it. Santana said he is a wrestler and that’s all he needs to do and he welcomes all challengers and is going to give them everything he has. Muraco vs. Mascaras at the GardenDon Muraco vs. Mil Mascaras was added to the Madison Square Garden card on 4/23. Muraco gave an interview and said he is sick of these dirty border bandits in the WWF when they should be mopping up middle school floors. He said he was still in shock that that border bandit stole his WWF Intercontinental title and he is going to take all his frustration out on their taco bending leader, the so called greatest wetback wrestler of all and send a message that they should all stay on their rafts before coming here to face Don Muraco. Snuka vs. SchultzFinally David Schultz gave an interview accompanied with his partner Roddy Piper about his match with Tito Santana in the Philadelphia Spectrum. Schultz once again reaffirmed that he was the toughest son of a bitch in the World Wrestling Federation, he said Snuka was afraid to get in the ring with him for that title and that’s why it’s taken him so long to get this match. Piper then chimed in and said that Snuka would be climbing back up the tree from where he came from, chewing on a banana because he doesn’t know what he’s in for. Piper said he knows what Schultz is capable of and Jimmy Snuka isn’t capable of beating him and Schultz would be walking out with that title. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ResultsKiel Auditorium - 4/6/84 Sgt Slaughter defeated Alexis Smirnoff in 7:38 with a Cobra ClutchThe opening bout saw the patriotic Sgt Slaughter take on the Russian Alexis Smirnoff in a Cold War battle. Smirnoff pounded down on Slaughter for a large portion of the match but Slaughter fought back before locking in the Cobra Clutch for the victory. Bob Orton Jr. defeated Eddie Gilbert in 6:24 with a SuperplexOrton racked up another victory in St. Louis this time defeating Eddie Gilbert with a Superplex. Orton then began to trash St. Louis after the match. Rocky Johnson & Tony Atlas defeated Dick Murdoch & Iron Mike Sharpe in 10:27 after Johnson pinned Sharpe with a Sunset FlipIron Mike Sharpe was the substitute for Adrian Adonis in this title match. Sharpe didn’t click with Murdoch the same way Adonis did and it ended up costing them the match as Sharpe accidently knocked Murdoch off the apron and was met with a sunset flip from Johnson. Murdoch looked furious after the match and slammed his hand to the mat, Sharpe tried to apologise but Murdoch stormed off. Roddy Piper defeated Ivan Putski in 8:12 with a pair of brass knucksPutski was having fun overpowering Piper for a majority of this match, however Piper got a pair of brass knuckles from his trunks and struck Putski behind the referees back whilst Putski had Piper in a Bearhug and proceeded to pin Putski to boos from the crowd. Jimmy Snuka & Big John Studd fought to a double count-out in 9:11Both men came out with the intention of hurting the other as they brawled both in the ring and outside it. Studd seemed to be controlling the middle portion of the match but Snuka was resilient and managed to knock Studd outside the ring before leaping off the apron onto him and continuing the brawl before being counted out. After the match both Studd and Snuka were interviewed with Snuka saying he wants to end this thing with Studd and challenging him to a steel cage match which was verbally accepted by Studd. Greg Valentine defeated SD Jones in 6:15 with a Figure Four Leg LockWhilst SD Jones was a valiant competitor he was no match for Valentine who picked up the victory with a Figure Four Leg Lock Tito Santana defeated David Schultz via disqualification in 15:27 after interference from Roddy PiperThis was a very fast paced evenly matched contest here. Santana and Schultz traded holds and hip-tosses most of the match. Roddy Piper then came down to the match and got in the ring causing a disqualification After the match Piper and Schultz began to double team Santana Ivan Putski came out to make the save chasing Piper & Schultz to the back and helping Santana up. Andre the Giant defeated The Iron Sheik & Freddie Blassie in 10:04 after Andre pinned Blassie with a SplashThe main event saw Andre the Giant take on The Iron Sheik & Freddie Blassie. As expected Sheik wrestled most of the match for his team with Blassie providing a distraction to allow Sheik to regain control. Sheik managed to keep Andre down and Blassie demanded he be tagged in an attempt to embarrass Andre but Andre threw Blassie off and stalked him. After a meeting of the minds between Sheik & Blassie Andre hit a slam and Splash to pin Blassie and pick up the victory. Championship Wrestling (4/7, taped on 3/27, airing in New York)Big John Studd defeated Terry Daniels & Ron Shaw in 1:00 after pinning Shaw with an Elbow Drop The British Bulldogs defeated Mike Powers & Goldie Rogers in 4:21 after Smith pinned Rogers with a Diving Headbutt Pipers Pit with Tito Santana Rocky Johnson & Tony Atlas defeated Johnny Ringo & Tony Russo in 3:49 after Johnson pinned Ringo with a Dropkick Roddy Piper & David Schultz defeated Steve Lombardi & Angelo Gomez via disqualification in 2:36 Sgt Slaughter defeated Charlie Fulton in 1:43 with a Cobra Clutch MSG Interviews with Big John Studd, Don Muraco & Tito Santana Greg Valentine & B. Brian Blair fought to a no contest in 5:17 All Star Wrestling (4/7, taped on 3/28, airing in Philadelphia)Bob Orton Jr. defeated Bob Bradley in 2:54 with a Superplex Eddie Gilbert defeated Frankie Williams in 3:57 with a Small Package The Invaders defeated Johnny Ringo & Victor Mercado in 4:19 after Invader #1 pinned Mercado with a diving Cross Body Pipers Pit with B. Brian Blair Greg Valentine defeated Jose Louis Rivera in 4:16 with a Figure Four Leg Lock Philadelphia Spectrum Interviews 4/21 with David Schultz & Roddy Piper, Tito Santana and Greg Valentine Paul Orndorff defeated James Burke in 1:45 with a Piledriver Tito Santana defeated Charlie Fulton in 2:48 with a Flying Forearm Wrestling at the Chase (4/7, airing in the St. Louis Area)Bob Orton Jr. defeated Bob Bradley (All Star Wrestling 4/7) Roddy Piper & David Schultz defeated Steve Lombardi & Angelo Gomez (Championship Wrestling 4/7) Piper’s Pit with Rocky Johnson & Tony Atlas (Championship Wrestling 3/31) Sgt Slaughter defeated Angelo Gomez (Championship Wrestling 4/7) Interviews with Big John Studd & Jimmy Snuka Jimmy Snuka & Big John Studd battled to a double count-out (Kiel 4/6) ------------------------------------------------------------- OOC: So yeah another format change. I'm kind of not liking the idea of 3 separate sets of storylines like I did before and I think I found a neat way to summarise the main storylines. Following the next month's worth of Spectrum and Kiel I'm pretty sure I'm dropping them from the full write-up rotation and they'll be more like Boston Garden shows. I also think I'l lbe dropping Wrestling at the Chase and using Championship & All-Star to build solely towards MSG shows since I think I've got a way to where it won't be daunting and repetitive for me.

WWF @ Madison Square Garden: Sunday 25th March 1984...I suppose the handicap match would have gotten the show kicked off in a great way, the patriot Sgt Slaughter beating the Japanese, Mr Fuji and Tiger Chung Lee. Keep the two relevant however. They're quite the original team. Paul Orndorff and Ivan Putski's match didn't do a great deal for me honestly. Orndorff with the win was all that mattered to me. Roddy Piper and David Schultz seemed like the obvious candidates to pick up the win, glad they did against the Invaders. We've not really seen Invaders #1 and #2 featured that much, what's their story? The Iron Sheik beating André the Giant by count-out I totally telegraphed. Another sign for this storyline to keep on rolling! Rocky Johnson and Tony Atlas with the win I expected really. I like Dick Murdoch and Adrian Adonis as a pairing, but this is Johnson and Atlas' time to shine as WWF World Tag Team Champions. Greg Valentine beating Chief Jay Strongbow is another match I wasn't quite interested in, Valentine securing the win was the right call. I was surprised by the disqualification finish to the WWF World Heavyweight Championship match. I guess Jimmy Snuka just lost his anger at the last time. Regardless, I see this feud continuing. The Masked Superstar in his farewell, going on a higher spot on a Garden card than the WWF title bout? Odd but I like it. Mil Mascaras beating the Masked Superstar was obviously going to happen, as the Superstar is on his way out. And lastly, I knew you saved the WWF Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship match for last for a reason. Fantastic main event win for Tito Santana against Don Muraco, keep Muraco relevant I suggest. Overall, good to see a title change, good to see a show on my birthday, and it was highly enjoyable to read at that.

WWF 1984 Week 15
New WWF Tag Team Champions Piper & Schultz somehow found a way to become WWF Tag Team Champions on this weeks edition of Championship Wrestling. Johnson & Atlas looked in control most of the match and it seemed like they were having a good time of it. However whilst the referee was attending to a downed Rocky Johnson, Tony Atlas whom had Schultz in a Gorilla Press got struck by a pair of brass knuckles by Piper and a limp Schultz fell on Atlas to get the shocking pinfall victory and become the WWF Tag Team Champions. Atlas & Johnson will get their return match however at Madison Square Garden on 4/23.
Slaughter Gets Some Revenge Iron Sheik had been on a roll lately picking up a victory over Andre the Giant albeit via count-out and laying Sgt Slaughter out this week. Prior to his match this week he gave an interview about how Iran was number one and how Slaughter is nothing but an American stooge and that the US was number zero and he would prove at Madison Square Garden that all these things were true. Sheik picked up a win and after the match continued his spiel about how great Iran was after the match. Slaughter had decided he had heard enough and decided to get some revenge on Sheik by running out and attacking Sheik. Sheik got out relatively unscathed before Slaughter grabbed a microphone and told that slime-ball maggot to get back in the ring and fight him like a man. Blassie restrained Sheik as Slaughter lead the crowd in the pledge of allegiance again this time making it successfully through.
Snuka is Willing to do What it Takes Jimmy Snuka gave an interview and said he is willing to do what it takes to put this thing behind him and Studd for good. He said at Madison Square Garden, no matter what Studd does he is going to keep coming because his heart will not give in. He said he doesn’t care if he has to injure Studd, injure himself he doesn’t care as long as he remains the WWF Champion. Snuka also gave an interview on his Spectrum opponent David Schultz and his partner/manager for the night Roddy Piper. Snuka said both of them have been running their mouth since they got here and now comes judgment time for them. He said it’s time for them to back up all the things they say and for Schultz to show he is the toughest competitor in the world.
Mascaras Gives His Opinion of Muraco Mil Mascaras gave an interview regarding his match with Don Muraco at Madison Square Garden. Mascaras said Muraco has constantly run his mouth about his people and he is sick and tired of it. He said at Madison Square Garden he is carrying the pride of the entire Mexican nation when he faces Muraco and he intends on representing Mexico proudly and showing Muraco that he couldn’t be more wrong when he trashes Mexico. Mascaras then said something in Spanish and warned Muraco that he was coming for him.
The Odds are stacked against Santana Santana’s title reign may be a short one as he is going to come against two of the most talented technicians in Greg Valentine at the Spectrum and Paul Orndorff at Madison Square Garden. Valentine vowed to Santana that he was going to break his leg at the Spectrum and become the WWF Intercontinental Champion. He said his figure four is the perfect hold and Santana will be tapping immediately once he is in it. Orndorff then called Santana a chump and also vowed to become Intercontinental should Santana still be champion at Madison Square Garden. Orndorff has been on quite the roll lately and looks to continue that to a championship victory. Orndorff said that Santana is pretty good but he is a class above everyone and he will showcase why he is the man of the WWF.
Pipers Pit with Don Muraco Former WWF Intercontinental Champion Don Muraco was the guest on Pipers Pit this week. Piper and Muraco embraced as Muraco arrived on set. Piper said he couldn’t believe that that thug Santana had somehow weaselled his way into stealing Muraco’s championship. Muraco said he had some news to inform everyone and that he was battling a 110 degree fever in their match because some New York fat slob sneezed on him as well as battling a hamstring injury he sustained from an intense training session so it was a miracle he was even able to make it to Madison Square Garden to compete that night, but the fighting champion that he is he sucked it up and went out and fought. Piper said he thought he saw that Muraco was ill and labouring from an injury when he was out there and thought it was only fair that the WWF overturn the decision. Muraco said he agreed and the only decent thing for Santana to do would be to forfeit his title over to him. Piper said that Santana acts as if he’s a decent person in sucking up to the fans but he’s really a lowlife thug. Muraco agreed and said all Mexicans are and that’s why he’s going to take his frustration out on Mil Mascaras and to keep these wetbacks on the right side of the border. Piper thanked Muraco for stopping by and wished him all the best.
Boston Garden The WWF was in the Boston Garden on 4/14 for another huge show. The event was headlined by a steel cage match between Andre the Giant and The Iron Sheik. This one was an intense brawl that saw a lot of blood spilled. Sheik looked like he was going to be able to crawl out of the cage but Andre got to his feet and literally stepped over Sheik to win the match. Jimmy Snuka defended his WWF Title against Greg “The Hammer” Valentine. Valentine through everything at Snuka but Snuka kept coming back and Snuka managed to hit the Superfly Splash to pick up the victory. After the match Valentine snapped and attacked Snuka obviously frustrated with his loss. Tito Santana defended his newly won WWF Title against ex-champion Don Muraco. Muraco looked like he was about to win before Santana shocked Muraco with a small package. Muraco looked frustrated at not being able to beat Santana again. The other big match of the night was Sgt Slaughter taking on Paul Orndorff, both men have been on a roll lately and it led to an evenly matched contest. The match ended in a double count-out when both men were brawling in the aisle, they continued to brawl before Orndorff went for a Piledriver on the outside and Slaughter delivered a backdrop to Orndorff who preceded to run away from Slaughter.

Wrestling Observer Newsletter - April 1984
- The WWF Expansion is set to heavily continue over the next month. Several wrestlers are expected to join the roster in the next month including as we’ve reported the past few issues Jesse Ventura. The WWF are said to be waiting for Ventura to finish off his current dates before debuting him and are expected to have him be a draw immediately with the likes of Jimmy Snuka & Tito Santana.
- The WWF is also expected to expand to more regions, they visited Detroit for a show that drew reasonably well on the 13th. They are at Ohio at the end of the month as well as Oakland on the 28th. They are also in the process of buying out some Kentucky and Virginia TV spots and are expected to debut shows there in late May/Early June.
- The WWF is still drawing it’s best numbers in the core market in a while as well as continually growing in the southern California region and St. Louis region increasingly doing bigger numbers on each tour of the area. The numbers for the big market shows are as follows
- The 3/24 Philly Spectrum show sold out headlined by Jimmy Snuka vs. The Iron Sheik in a Texas Death Match - The 3/25 MSG show fell about 1000 short of a sell out at 25000. The show was headlined by Snuka vs. Studd along with the Muraco/Santana title change - The 3/31 LA Auditorium show headlined by Andre the Giant winning a battle royal and Santana defending against Muraco did 9000 out of a roughly 10,500 capacity. - The 4/6 Kiel Auditorium show headlined by Snuka vs. Studd and Andre vs. Sheik & Blassie did about 8,500 about 800 short of a sellout - The 4/14 Boston Garden show headlined by Andre/Sheik in a cage and Snuka/Valentine sold out all near 15000 seats
- The British Bulldogs are the only new team to debut, apparently McMahon and Hart have a deal that will see the team work dates for both promotions for a while. Bob Orton Jr also made his television debut for the company.
- Adrian Adonis broke his hand at the Philadelphia Spectrum tapings and ended up working the Madison Square Garden tapings with Murdoch doing most of the work for the team. Adonis is expected to return sometime in late May/Early June for the company and the two are expected to re-team and be a constant tag threat. Iron Mike Sharpe has been subbing for Adonis in some matches whilst Murdoch will sometime wrestle singles matches against Johnson.
- The Masked Superstar wrestled his final date at Madison Square Garden, he is now working in Japan full time. The door has been left open for a return at some date.
- Roddy Piper & David Schultz winning the tag titles came as a bit of a shock, it was expected that Murdoch & Adonis would win the belts but it appears the WWF think very highly of both Piper & Schultz and love their work as a team and on Pipers Pit. Piper & Schultz are pencilled in to work with Johnson & Atlas some more before moving on to The British Bulldogs.
- Tito Santana winning the Intercontinental Title was no shock. The WWF think very highly of Santana and consider him one of their more consistent workers. Santana is expected to feud with the likes of Greg Valentine, Bob Orton & Jesse Ventura over the upcoming months over the belt.
- The Sgt. Slaughter/Iron Sheik feud has officially begun, it is expected to one of two major non-title feuds over the upcoming months into the summer, the other being Paul Orndorff and Bob Backlund once Backlund returns which should be in a month or so. Should Snuka come out on top of Studd he is expected to feud with someone like Greg Valentine or Bob Orton whilst they build up Ventura to challenge him.

WWF Week 16 1984 Snuka/Studd go one more round Jimmy Snuka and Big John Studd are getting to have another showdown and both gave interviews regarding the match. Snuka said he was more ready for this moment then he ever had been before, he said Big John Studd claims he’s the most dominant man in the WWF well he is going to have to prove it as Snuka is going to throw everything he has at Studd to retain this title. Big John Studd gave his interview and said he loves imposing his dominance over an important and squeezing the life out of them. He said that belt probably isn’t big enough to fit around his waist but he plans on squeezing the life out Snuka and holding that title high. Slaughter and Sheik set to finally collide Sgt Slaughter and The Iron Sheik have been going at it verbally for the past couple of months with some more physical action recently but they meet at Madison Square Garden in 2 days. Slaughter and Sheik each gave their thoughts on the match. Slaughter said he had been waiting so long to get his hands on that maggot Sheik. He said he was a disgusting human being along with his manager the traitor Freddie Blassie. Slaughter said he was going to make sure he hurt Sheik in anyway possible. He said he was going to lock Sheik in the Cobra Clutch and teach him a thing or two about the greatest country of them all USA. Sheik was with his manager Freddie Blassie and said he was so excited to finally get in the ring with Slaughter that he couldn’t wait. He said Slaughter is a stooge for America and he spits on the American Flag and spits on the USA and how Iran was number one. Blassie added that that pencil necked geek Sgt Slaughter doesn’t know what he’s getting himself into when he faces the champion of Iran and that the Camel Clutch will be locked into Slaughter and how he’s going to feel when he has to tap and let down the USA. Snuka & Slaughter get some payback Jimmy Snuka & Sgt Slaughter got some payback on Mr Fuji & Tiger Chung after Fuji & Lee ganged up on Snuka on a previous edition of Championship Wrestling. Fuji & Lee looked like they might pick up a big win for a moment as they isolated Slaughter momentarily but Slaughter tagged in Snuka who took out Fuji & Lee and pinned Lee with a Superfly Splash. After the match Fuji jumped in the ring to attack Snuka but was treated to a Slaughter Cannon as Slaughter & Snuka celebrated in the ring together. A new face Magnum TA made his debut on Championship Wrestling this week picking up a victory. After the match Gene Okerlund interviewed the young debutant after an impressive showing. TA said this was the stage he’d been training his whole life to get to the WWF. He said he is one of the most intense, dedicated individuals and is ready to take on anyone and everyone to show all that hard work he has done to get here. Mascaras injured, out of Madison Square Garden contest. Who’s in? Mil Mascaras broke his leg during a live event in the middle of the week and will be out of action for over 6 months. That means Mascaras will be pulling out of his match with Don Muraco at Madison Square Garden. Stepping in for him will be the recent debutant Magnum TA who immediately gets a tough task to welcome him to the WWF in former 2 time Intercontinental Champion Don Muraco. Muraco gave his opinion on his new opponent. Muraco said that he doesn’t even know who his opponent is and he appears to be some Tom Selleck wannabe who spends all his time in the gym. Muraco said spending all your time in the gym doesn’t win you matches and that this bum doesn’t even belong in the same arena as him. Can Santana stop Mr Wonderful? Paul Orndorff has been on quite the roll lately and has been almost unstoppable putting Bob Backlund on the shelf. Santana and Orndorff both gave interviews regarding their Intercontinental Heavyweight Title match at Madison Square Garden. Santana said both of them were in top form and Santana was going to give it everything he had to ensure that a major blow was delivered to Orndorff’s ego. Orndorff said that Santana was nothing compared to him. He said Santana is pretty average whilst he is wonderful and at Madison Square Garden he was going to continue the roll that he was on and add Santana to the growing list of victims of the Piledriver and how no one could stop him from becoming a champion. Pipers Pit with no guest? Pipers Pit on Championship Wrestling this week saw no guest instead Piper & Schultz had a celebration regarding their tag team title victory last week. Piper & Schultz said they were the best tag team in the history of the WWF and they proved it by taking the WWF Tag Team Championships so easily. Schultz then popped a bottle of champagne and started spraying it over the set. Rocky Johnson & Tony Atlas then stormed the set and told Piper & Schultz they were going to get their tag titles back and if it wasn’t for Piper using a pair of brass knucks they’d still be champions. Schultz told Johnson & Atlas that they follow the rules and Johnson & Atlas were just sore losers and they’d prove that they are just plain better than the thick lipped baboons when they meet again. Piper then scolded Johnson & Atlas, he insulted them for being slow and that this may be how “their people” do things but they are not invited guests on this show. Schultz then picked up a chair looking ready to attack Johnson & Atlas as Piper had to restrain him telling him they’d get these thugs later and called for security to escort Johnson & Atlas off the set. Pipers Pit with Tony Garea Roddy Piper said he had a real has been on his show this week in Tony Garea. Piper asked Garea when was the last time he done anything significant in the WWF, Garea went to speak but Piper cut him off and told him to not even answer the questions as he’ll just bore the audience with stories of his past glory. Piper then appeared to give a compliment to Garea by praising the fact that he was a 5 time tag champion before mentioning that means that Garea has lost the belts 5 times. He said he and “Dr D” won’t be doing that as they are going to be holding these belts for a very long time. Garea said he and Eddie Gilbert have been teaming a bit lately and he likes what he sees in the kid and maybe they’ll make Garea a six time champion. Piper said some washed up has been and a never will be have no chance of beating the best tag team in the world and told Garea he should go hang out with the other has beens like Chief Jay Strongbow & Bob Backlund talking about the good ‘ol days when they were actually relevant because they beat up nobodies and told Garea if he wasn’t spending his youth with pretty ladies and getting good grades, he would’ve ensured that Garea never even held a tag title once. Garea then walked off set telling Piper he’d take him any place any time. Kiel Auditorium Card Finalised A couple more matches were announced for the Kiel Auditorium card on 5/5. Sgt Slaughter and Iron Sheik would be tangling. In addition to this Roddy Piper & David Schultz would defend their WWF Tag Team Championships against recent rivals and former WWF Tag Team Champions Ivan Putski & WWF Intercontinental Champion Tito Santana. Piper & Schultz gave their thoughts on this match and said that they haven’t teamed together in years and lack the cohesive dominance that Piper & Schultz display. They said that the border hopping wetback and the unintelligent musclehead have no chance in hell of beating them. Also added to the card was Greg Valentine taking on one half of the former WWF Tag Team Champions Rocky Johnson, Andre the Giant taking on Don Muraco as well as Bob Orton taking on B. Brian Blair. ---------------------- Results

Both men handled themselves well in singles competition but it was Atlas who picked up the win after a Gorilla Press Slam Tito Santana and Greg Valentine fought to a 20 minute time limit drawAnother very evenly matched contest between these two as they traded holds and moves. Valentine looked like he was about to lock in the Figure Four but time expired. Valentine looked frustrated and locked in the Figure Four anyway trying to break Santana’s leg before being restrained. Andre the Giant defeated Paul Orndorff via count-out in 7:25 Andre started out by toying with Orndorff, however Orndorff gained the advantage and pounded Andre down to the mat.

Sgt Slaughter defeated Don Muraco in 11:32 after a Cobra ClutchDon Muraco seemed reluctant to tie up with Slaughter but eventually did.

Slaughter however powered back and locked in the Cobra Clutch to pick up the win. Jimmy Snuka defeated David Schultz via disqualification in 12:42 after Roddy Piper interferedThis one was a brawl as both men traded punches and kicks. Schultz looked like he was going to win the match on multiple occasions but Snuka gained control and was rallying on Schultz before Roddy Piper got in the ring and attacked Snuka. Piper then began laying some kicks into Snuka before Snuka fought him off and then banged the heads of the tag champions together. Piper & Schultz then fled as Snuka celebrated for the crowd.

- I'm enjoying Snuka's title reign thus far but I'm not so convinced that he is going to be the big face you need. Since your entire thing is that Hogan never signed you need a big time face to build things around and while I've always been a massive Snuka fan I've never been sold on the idea that he could carry a company. Still I fully expect him to retain against Studd. - Big fan of the Slaughter/ Sheik feud since their gimmicks alone mean they should be the perfect rivals. At this point I'm pretty sure Slaughter was massively over and if it wasn't for his age then I'd suggest that you run with him as the face of the company as you try and expand. I'm thinking if you build Slaughter/ Sheik properly then it could be one of the biggest things you have going for you. - Magnum TA eh? Wasn't it right around this time that he made his first appearances in JCP? He's a potential big signing for the WWF at this point and I really hope you do something big with him, the match with Muraco is definitely a good way to start. I've always thought that if it wasn't for his car accident that he'd have been one of the greats. - Santana/ Orndorff should be a very interesting match. I think it'll be interesting to see how far you push Santana depending on how far you get this with, because he never really hit that top level when he had the talent to do so. - I was a bit unsure on Piper/ Schultz as tag champions at first, simply because I never really imagined Piper as a tag team wrestler, but you've started them off with a nice build for some potential future matches. - I'm absolutely loving this so far, the layout and the booking are absolutely brilliant and I will be replying much more often from now on. Good job Fury.

Madison Square Garden – 4/23We are back in Madison Square Garden for another show, the commentators are Gorilla Monsoon & Gene Okerlund and we have a near full house. The main event of Jimmy Snuka vs Big John Studd was hyped as was The Iron Sheik finally clashing with Sgt Slaughter and Tito Santana defending his title against Paul Orndorff. British Bulldogs vs. Mr Fuji & Tiger Chung LeeThe Hype: The British Bulldogs are the hot young team on the block. Having had a lot of success in their young careers already they now step into the World’s most famous arena for the first time. They will have a tough test as they take on former tag team champion Mr Fuji and his tag team partner Tiger Chung Lee. Fuji & Lee have been on a kind of down streak lately but they are always tough competition and they’ll be looking to rebound against the hot young upstarts. The Bulldogs will be intending to make their first match in Madison Square Garden a good one but Fuji & Lee are sure to make it a hard task. The Match: Davey Boy Smith started out with Mr Fuji and dazzled him with some fast paced offense and technical offense easily controlling the action with moves such as arm drags and headlocks. Smith then tagged in Dynamite Kid who did the same thing as The Bulldogs had come out on fire. Kid & Smith made frequent tags to each other and delivered moves to Fuji and Lee keeping both men fresh as the team was on fire. It only took one mistake though as Fuji shouted at Davey Boy Smith from the ring apron and Smith took his attention off of Lee and it cost him as Lee blasted him in the back. Lee then began to work over Smith’s back with a backbreaker and following it up with a Boston Crab. Lee and Fuji then tagged in and out constantly putting pressure on Smith’s lower back with stomps, elbow drops and a variety of holds intended to put pressure on it. Smith was resilient though as he kept kicking out and escaping holds. Lee then made a mistake as he ascended the middle turnbuckle and went to nail an elbow smash but Smith rolled out of the way and made the tag to Dynamite Kid who then picked up the pace for The Bulldogs dominating Lee, it looked like he was going to pin Lee after a vertical suplex but Fuji broke up the pin. Fuji then was tagged in and restrained Kid for Lee to attack him but a chop intended for Kid instead hit Fuji after Kid got out of the way. Smith then got in the ring and they delivered simultaneous dropkicks to Fuji & Lee and Kid followed this up with the patented Diving Headbutt on Lee to pick up the victory. The Result: The British Bulldogs defeated Mr Fuji & Tiger Chung Lee in 10:27 after Dynamite Kid pinned Mr Fuji with a Diving Headbutt Eddie Gilbert was already in the ring awaiting his opponent Iron Mike Sharpe for the upcoming bout. Ring announcer Howard Finkel then announced that Sharpe wasn’t able to compete tonight but a replacement had been found to face Eddie Gilbert and to welcome the returning “Superstar” Billy Graham. The crowd was in shock as Graham came down to the ring, his long hair beginning to grow back and a cocky smirk on his face Superstar Billy Graham vs. Eddie GilbertThe Hype: Superstar Billy Graham is making his shocking return to the WWF for the first time in over a year. Originally this match was scheduled to be Eddie Gilbert vs. Iron Mike Sharpe but Sharpe is out and Graham is in. Graham’s resume speaks for itself, a former WWF Heavyweight Champion, no one expected to see Graham here tonight and he is looking to make an impact in his return. Gilbert is not to be forgotten here as he has a chance to take out a big name in the world’s most famous arena. Will Graham be celebrating in his return or will Gilbert spoil the party? The Match: Graham took his time soaking in the return as the crowd was still in shock whilst Gilbert looked ready to compete with the legendary former champion. Graham took his time removing his shirt and sunglasses before tying up with Gilbert. Graham gained the advantage with a headlock and worked Gilbert over. Gilbert escaped however and stunned Graham with a dropkick followed by a hiptoss. Graham rolled out of the ring and regathered himself, Gilbert walked over to the ropes and Graham’s veteran presence came to light as he yanked Gilbert out of the ring and nailed him with a thrust chop. Graham and Gilbert went back in the ring and Graham showcased he still had all his strength by impressively lifting Gilbert up for an overhead backbreaker. Graham then took this time to pose for the crowd and taunt Gilbert and it wound up costing him as Gilbert began to gain the advantage and nearly pinned Graham with an inside cradle. Graham then decided it was serious time and locked in the Full Nelson to which Gilbert passed out in and Graham was successful in his return match. The Result: Superstar Billy Graham defeated Eddie Gilbert in 8:15 with a Full Nelson After the match Gene Okerlund interviewed the returning “Superstar” Billy Graham. Graham said he could see Okerlund shaking, he could see the goose bumps on all the fans skin. He told everyone in the crowd that if they could actually afford a camera to take a photo because this was a historic moment. The man of the hour, the man with the power, too sweet to be sour had returned home after 1 year and he had one goal. To take back his WWF Title from that chump Jimmy Snuka. We go backstage to Gene Okerlund who is with Tony Atlas and he notes that his tag partner Rocky Johnson isn’t there with him. Atlas says he has no idea where Johnson went, but they need to get ready for their match. Suddenly Rocky Johnson pops in along with a couple of superstars that includes SD Jones & Ivan Putski pushing a birthday cake as it is Atlas’ birthday. Johnson wishes his partner a happy birthday. Atlas tells Okerlund that it is his birthday and he has one wish and he couldn’t imagine a better present then to get back their tag team titles from those punks Roddy Piper & David Schultz. Johnson & Atlas embrace as Johnson says they plan on celebrating Atlas’ birthday in style. WWF Tag Team Championship Roddy Piper & David Schultz vs. Rocky Johnson & Tony AtlasThe Hype: This one started on the controversial Pipers Pit a month ago when Johnson & Atlas were guests on the show. Piper continuously insulted Johnson & Atlas, comparing them to monkeys and it lead to a brawl on the set of the Pit when Johnson & Atlas had had enough. The following week the two teams engaged in a verbal confrontation in the aisle and Johnson & Atlas responded by attacking Piper & Schultz during their match. Piper & Schultz and Johnson & Atlas then fought for the titles and in a shocking twist Piper blasted Atlas with some brass knucks and Piper & Schultz became the new tag team champions. Johnson & Atlas get their return bout with the new tag team champions right here in Madison Square Garden on Tony Atlas’ birthday. Will it be one to remember for Atlas or will Schultz & Piper show the first time was no fluke? The Match: Both teams stayed in the ring as it looked like there was about to be an all-out brawl between the two teams before the referee managed to restrain them. Johnson was going to start for his team, Piper & Schultz however seemed to be discussing who was going to start a little longer, stalling and angering the opposing team. Johnson decided he had had enough and went to attack both of them but they hopped out of the ring to discuss it some more. Schultz eventually got in the ring but then Piper went to get in and mouthed off to Johnson, Schultz attacked Johnson from behind whilst he was distracted and immediately began to work him over. Schultz then tagged in Piper who took his shots at Johnson and also mocked taunted Atlas leading to him getting in the ring and Piper & Schultz using the referee getting Atlas out to double team Johnson. Piper & Schultz continued to use whatever advantage they could get by choking Johnson and raking his eye and double teaming him. Johnson finally managed to tag in Atlas after escaping a Schultz headlock with an atomic drop and Atlas looked like he had a lot of built up rage ready to be unleashed as he delivered massage thrust chops to Schultz and to Piper and then nailed Schultz with a backdrop. Atlas then went to chase Piper around the ring as he was still mouthing off on him before being met with a lariat from Schultz. Schultz and Johnson then traded blows back and forth. Johnson gained the advantage and hit Schultz with a couple of dropkicks and his signature shuffle combination. Johnson then ran off the ropes for a move but Piper tripped him up, Atlas then chased Piper as Schultz nailed Johnson with a diving forearm smash to pick up the victory for his team and retain the Tag Team Titles. The Result: Roddy Piper & David Schultz defeated Rocky Johnson & Tony Atlas in 12:39 to retain the WWF Tag Team Championships after Schultz pinned Johnson with a diving forearm smash Gene Okerlund was backstage with Magnum TA interviewing him about his Madison Square Garden debut. TA said this was the arena you came to as a kid, that you dreamt of one day stepping into that ring,. He said he couldn’t wait to walk out there and hear 26,000 fans screaming at the top of their lungs and he wants to show them all that hard work his put into this and show them what Magnum TA was made of. Don Muraco (w/ Captain Lou Albano) vs. Magnum T.AThe Hype: Originally scheduled to be Don Muraco against Mil Mascaras, this one was a last minute addition when Mascaras injured his leg last week and a replacement needed to step in. Enter Magnum TA, having only debuted for the company during the last week, TA happily stepped up for the chance to take on former Intercontinental Champion Muraco. Muraco seemed somewhat insulted being paired up with Magnum as he feels he isn’t in his league and is just another punk who spends all his time in the gym. TA is looking to prove him wrong and make a big statement in his short career but Muraco isn’t going to make it easy for him as he is a wily veteran who has to be looking to vent his frustrations on this rookie after losing his title to Santana last month. The Match: Magnum and Muraco circled each other for a bit before finally tying up, Magnum managed to easily shove Muraco into the corner to the shock of Muraco. They tied up again and this time Muraco moved into a side headlock and started taunting TA who powered out with a back suplex. TA then began pounding into Muraco with furious punches. TA then let his excitement get the better of him as he went for a splash in the corner but Muraco got a knee into the ribs of TA. Muraco then locked in an abdominal stretch and insulted TA by slapping him when he got the chance, you could see the anger rising in TA as he hip tossed out of the hold he then whipped Muraco viciously into the corner and on the bounce back hit a huge back body drop. TA was feeling a lot of momentum and Muraco realised it as he got in between the ropes to prevent TA from getting him. Muraco then gained the upper hand after tripping TA into the middle turnbuckle and proceeded to stomp him in the corner. Muraco then went to hit a suplex but TA countered and hit one of his own. It took a while for both men to recover to their feet but TA was once again feeling and hit Muraco with some punches and a dropkick, TA then sent Muraco into the ropes and when he bounced off hit a Belly to Belly suplex to pick a big victory for the youngster. The Result: Magnum TA defeated Don Muraco in 9:45 with a Belly to Belly Suplex WWF Intercontinental Championship Tito Santana vs. Paul OrndorffThe Hype: Tito Santana makes his return to the Garden for the first time since he captured the Intercontinental Title from Don Muraco last month. He doesn’t have an easy task as he will have to take on “Mr Wonderful” Paul Orndorff. Orndorff has really made a name for himself since arriving at the end of last year having taken out Bob Backlund, Pat Patterson and Ivan Putski with his Piledriver. Orndorff is saying he is a class of his own and he has backed that up. Santana however is something different, in the form of his life having won the Intercontinental Title, Santana brings a fast paced offense and a whole lot of heart. Santana is not only looking to make sure his title celebration isn’t cut short but to get revenge on his fallen friends. In what is sure to be a classic contest, who will walk out with the Intercontinental Championship? The Match: Paul Orndorff took his time as he usually does taking off his robe. Santana looked irritated as Orndorff wandered around the ring taunting members of the crowd. The two finally tied up but immediately Orndorff scrambled and grabbed the ropes he then complained to referee Dick Kroll that he was pulling his hair. Orndorff then received an arm drag and Santana yanked at Orndorff’s arm before he rolled out of the ring using all of the 10 count before getting in and rolling out again. Orndorff then finally got back in the ring and tied up again this time yanking Santana down by the hair. Orndorff then whipped Santana into the ropes and after a leapfrog nailed him with a heavy short lariat. Orndorff then began to pose for the crowd before applying a chin lock with a knee into the back of the neck to Santana. Santana however began to power out but Orndorff took Santana down by the hair again. Orndorff then began to work over Santana’s neck some more driving elbows into the back of it and cranking it back in various holds. Orndorff then picked Santana up to whip him into the corner but Santana countered it sending Orndorff flying into the corner, both men were down and exhausted though. Santana then started delivering some chops and punches to Orndorff before missing a huge home run swing as Orndorff ducked and followed it up by shoving Santana into the corner. Orndorff kept Santana in the corner and began to work him over some more. just when it looked like Santana might be down and out Bob Backlund made his way to ringside to cheer on his friend Santana. This seemed to help Santana as he began to build some more momentum and managed to take Orndorff down. Santana finally began to build some momentum with a variety of moves knocking Orndorff down. Santana then hit a running knee which only got a two count because Orndorff put his foot on the bottom rope at the last minute. Santana then ascended the top rope and looked like he was going for a knee drop but Orndorff moved out of the way and sent Santana to the mat in agony. Orndorff then began yelling at Backlund who had begun doing squats whilst he was cheering on his friend. Orndorff wasted too much time yelling at Backlund though as Santana got back to his feet and began attacking Orndorff sending him into the ropes and hitting the Flying Forearm to pick up the victory. The Result: Tito Santana defeated Paul Orndorff in 15:13 with a Flying Forearm to retain the WWF Intercontinental Championship Backlund grabbed the Intercontinental Championship handing it to Santana whilst raising his hand in victory. Orndorff came to and looked irate he began protesting to the referee. The crowd seemed to take much delight in Orndorff’s tantrum. Grudge Match - USA vs. Iran Sgt Slaughter vs. The Iron Sheik (w/ “Ayatollah” Freddie Blassie)The Hype: This rivalry speaks for itself, recent fan favourite Sgt Slaughter is the most patriotic individual in the WWF so to see The Iron Sheik & Freddie Blassie running their mouth about the USA and how Iran was number one you knew Slaughter was going to stand up for what he believes in. Slaughter and Sheiks war of words took a physical turn on a recent edition of Championship Wrestling when Slaughter was leading the crowd in the pledge of allegiance Sheik attacked Slaughter to the despair of the crowd. The following week Slaughter returned the favour by attacking Sheik and this time successfully leading the crowd in the pledge of allegiance. Slaughter & Sheik have continued running their mouth against one another laying claim to who is the superior grappler and what is the superior country, it all comes to a head tonight as it is USA vs. Iran with pride and a whole lot more riding on this contest. The Match: Sheik and Slaughter stood across the ring from each other a loud “USA” chant began in the crowd. Sheik & Blassie attempted to quiet the crowd but it was to no avail as they just got louder. The two men finally tied up and it seemed to be a stalemate with neither man budging. They kept the tie up going before finally Slaughter gained the advantage and shoved Sheik into the corner. Slaughter then unloaded some shots into Sheik in the corner not holding back much to the delight of the crowd. Slaughter then viciously whipped Sheik into the other corner and followed him in with a lariat. Slaughter wasn’t relenting and eventually had to be restrained by the referee. Sheik took this break to finally get some offense in with a kick to the knee of Slaughter and then proceeded to work over Slaughter, particularly his neck and back to set up the Camel Clutch. Sheik then began his own assault on Slaughter with violet punches intended to harm Slaughter. Sheik then raked Slaughters face and eyes all the way across the top rope and even locked in a choke. Sheik then “loaded” up his boot behind the referee’s back and started stomping into Slaughters upper back and neck before spitting on Slaughter, the crowd was now irate. Sheik then picked up Slaughter and rammed him into the top of the ring post busting him wide open and now proceeded to work over the cut. He went to ram him into the ring post again but Slaughter blocked it this time and returned the favour by ramming Sheik into the ring post busting him open. This one then descended into little more than a brawl as the two began unloading shots into one another, both men bleeding and a very serious chance of the referee stopping this one. Slaughter then whipped Sheik into the corner and hit a Slaughter Cannon lariat on the rebound, it looked like Slaughter may be able to get the pin but instead went and grabbed his belt and began whipping Sheik with it causing a disqualification. The Result: The Iron Sheik defeated Sgt Slaughter via disqualification in 12:18 after Slaughter attacked Sheik with his belt Slaughter continued the assault whipping Sheik over and over again to the delight of the crowd who were know cheering USA as loud as they could, finally some officials came down to restrain Slaughter from attacking Sheik any more. Even though Sheik was walking out the winner via disqualification he didn’t look like it due to the massive welts on his back. Gene Okerlund then caught up with Slaughter backstage. Slaughter said you don’t know how good that felt to whip that maggot over and over again and how he’s not going to stop until he gets another chance to beat him up even worse, to leave that maggot lying there … Slaughter was then cut off by Sheik & Blassie, Blassie telling Slaughter that he was a disgrace and that he’ll never face Sheik again because he’s a maniac and that Sheik proved Iran was number one with a victory. Slaughter then shoved Blassie out of the way and began brawling with Sheik, Okerlund began yelling for someone to stop this as several superstars including Chief Jay Strongbow and Tony Garea came in to restrain them. Greg Valentine (w/ Captain Lou Albano) vs. B. Brian BlairThe Hype: This one started in a bout between Valentine & Blair on an edition of championship wrestling. Valentine expected to make short work of Blair but frustration got the better of him when he couldn’t finish off Blair and the match ended in a no contest. Blair made his debut around the same time Valentine made his reappearance in the WWF and both of them have been on a roll since then. The winner of this could definitely move themselves closer to a title shot. The Match: It was worth noting that Valentine was joined by apparently his new manager Captain Lou Albano who began berating Blair and calling Valentine the best in the world. Valentine and Blair started out fast paced as Blair whipped Valentine into the ropes and leapfrogged him but was hit by a shoulder block. Blair got back up and hit a dropkick and then a hip toss and going for another dropkick but Valentine swatted it away and Blair landed awkwardly on his right knee. Valentine then decided to slow down the pace by working on Blair’s injured leg to try and keep him grounded. Valentine kept working over Blair’s leg by dropping knees onto it and dropping back onto it slamming it into the mat. Blair however was resilient and came back even though he was on one leg throwing punches and even delivering a back body drop for a near pinfall. Valentine then countered back by delivering a knee breaker and attempted a figure four but it was blocked by Blair who kicked Valentine out of the ring with his good leg. Valentine then recouped with Albano. Valentine got back in the ring and regained the advantage and jumped right on top of Blair’s leg against the rope, further injuring it. Valentine then picked up Blair and took too long to deliver a move as Blair delivered a small package. Blair was fighting back with some forearm blows and whipped Valentine into the ropes and went to leapfrog him but came crashing down as his knee buckled. Valentine like a shark in the water began stomping the leg and applied the Figure Four to pick up the victory. The Result: Greg Valentine defeated B. Brian Blair in 12:20 with a Figure Four Leg Lock Big John Studd was interviewed about the upcoming main event with Jimmy Snuka. Studd said that Snuka should’ve finished him off last month as he plans on feeling the life drop out of Snuka and finally take that WWF Heavyweight Championship from that gutless scrub Snuka and show why he is called the most dominant wrestler in the world. Studd then made his way out to the ring to boos from the crowd. Jimmy Snuka was then interviewed and said that they have been duelling for months now brother and Sutdd has been unable to get the job done. Snuka said that Studd started all this by interrupting his celebration and he intends on finishing the job tonight brother. WWF Heavyweight Championship Jimmy Snuka vs. Big John StuddThe Hype: Snuka and Studd have been in an intense rivalry for a couple of months now. The rivalry started shortly after Snuka won the WWF Championship when Studd interrupted the celebration and stated his intentions of gaining the WWF Title. Since then Studd and Snuka have been going at it at different arenas across America with no clear winner. Studd claims he is the most dominant man in the WWF and at times it is hard to argue otherwise as he has left Snuka lying on the mat in pain. Snuka however isn’t going to give up easily as it isn’t in his nature and has been willing to fight anyone anytime and has kept coming and coming and coming at Studd. The two look to finally end this and have a decisive winner. The Match: Snuka started out by delivering some chops and kicks to Studd trying to take him down but Studd shoved him off. Snuka though kept coming back but the result was the same. Studd eventually delivered a big boot and Snuka was down. Studd didn’t go for the cover though and decided to walk around the ring admiring his work. Studd then delivered an elbow drop and went to cover Snuka but he kicked out. Studd then locked Snuka in a body lock and began to squeeze Snuka. Snuka fought out of it though and started delivering elbows to Studd he then ran off the rope and hit a flying chop wobbling the big man and came running off for a cross body but Studd caught him and delivered a backbreaker. Studd again took too much to time cover, instead opting to marvel at his handy work allowing Snuka to kick out. Studd continued to dominate Snuka keeping him ground and working him over controlling the match. Studd then signalled his intentions to finish the match and locked Snuka in the Bearhug. It seemed like Snuka was fading fast and Studd had a huge smile on his face at it appeared he was about to capture the WWF Title. Snuka however began to fight on adrenaline powering out of the Bearhug by banging his hands against Studd’s head. Snuka then delivered a variety of strikes to Studd before knocking Studd to the ground with a running dropkick. Snuka then ascended the top rope and as Studd got to his feet delivered a flying cross body pinning Studd and retaining the WWF Championship. The Result: Jimmy Snuka defeated Big John Studd in 10:22 with a flying cross body to retain the WWF Heavyweight Championship The crowd went wild as Snuka celebrated in the ring having finally conquered Big John Studd. It was announced that the WWF would be back in Madison Square Garden on 5/21.

WWF Week 13, 1984...[/u] Los Angeles: Good to see André the Giant with some revenge against the Iron Sheik in the $20,000 battle royal. Tito Santana and Don Muraco continuing their feud is always good, they always put on pretty good matches in their heydey. Oh man, Adrian Adonis with a broken hand? That has got to suck for Dick Murdoch. I wonder who Rocky Johnson and Tony Atlas will feud with now over the WWF World Tag Team Championships. Realistically, I'd have had the WWF World Tag Team Championships still on the line, just had someone substitute for Adonis. It was usually what happened back here. Paul Orndorff beating Ivan Putski again was fine. I did like him continuing the feud with the injured Bob Backlund, too. Championship Wrestling: Did like the amount of coverage on Tito Santana after winning the WWF Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship. I am looking forward to this upcoming defense against Paul Orndorff, and while I don't see Tito losing the title so soon, it'd be awesome to see Orndorff win SOME gold in the World Wrestling Federation. I was so fond of Orndorff. Jimmy Snuka facing Big John Studd again was pretty likely, I still don't see Studd taking the WWF World Heavyweight Championship yet. Interesting, I'm liking the idea of Roddy Piper and David Schultz going after Johnson and Atlas instead now. Nice edition of Piper's Pit. Bob Orton Jr, nice! Brian Blair was around in 1984? I forgot that. All-Star Wrestling: Tito Santana and Greg Valentine for the WWF Intercontinental Heavyweight Championships sounds glorious, I was a big fan of Valentine's work. Sgt Slaughter and Don Muraco could be good, as well as this interesting set-up for André the Giant against Paul Orndorff. Wrestling at the Chase: Not so much to note. I'd say that Championship Wrestling was the finest show this week.
