Just realized that last night (Dec. 27th, 1989), was the 20th anniversary of the "No Holds Barred: The Movie, The Match" PPV ...
Gene O introduced the movie from a studio with a "live-audience" blue screen background, as the movie "No Holds Barred" was then shown. After the movie, Gene O hyped the movie, as then Sean Mooney took over from ringside, where they were structuring the steel cage for the PPV match... clips were shown leading up to Hulk Hogan & Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake and their encounters with The Macho King, Queen Sherri, and Zeus... Going back live, the entrances took place and the match was on, tornado style (no tagging).
The final result was Zeus getting leg dropped 3x before the pinfall, Hogan & Beefcake as victors while Vince McMahon stated "And we have seen the end of Zeus" (or something like that lol, anyways indicating Zeus was officially gone from the WWF).
The PPV ending with the NHB movie song, with still clips from the movie and into the match just shown.
I remember as a kid, these PPVs were only $15.99 - $19.99
Just thought this would be interesting to share.
