So we've come to the end of 1988. It's been a wild year starting with Hulk Hogan as the World Champion and a face. Randy beat the odds and defeated both Dibiase and Andre the Giant the same night at Wrestlemania IV. Ted Dibiase is the current two-time World Heavyweight Champion, thanks to Hulk Hogan betraying the Macho Man and turning heel. Ric Flair made an appearance at SummerSlam and is now going after the World Heavyweight Championship as a face. Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard joined up with Flair in the WWF.
 We start off with 1989 with the current Champions are as follows:
Ted Dibiase - World Heavyweight Champion Ric Rude - Intercontinental Champion Powers of Pain - Tag Team Champions Rockin Robin' - Ladies World Champion Jumping Bomb Angels - Women's Tag Team Champions King Hercules with the King's Crown.

Gorilla: That's right and of course the Mega Powers will explode here tonight as Randy Savage will be taking on Hulk Hogan and he will be defending the managerial services of the First Lady of Wrestling, Miss Elizabeth.

 Ric Flair comes out last as Dibiase is already in the ring. Jesse asks Gorilla that shouldn't the Champion come out last, and Gorilla says that is usually how it goes. Flair is in and they stand toe to toe. They talk trash till Flair shoves Dibiase, Dibiase shoves Flair and they land punches at the same time.

Flair struggles and clotheslines Dibiase to the mat. Both men are out of it for count, but Dibiase is up first as he goes after Flair, but Flair lands a reverse atomic drop, drops him for the figure-four leglock.

- But why make it 40 men though? I don't get that especially when the Royal Rumble Match is usually 30 superstars and especially back then in the 1980s a Royal Rumble Match with 40 men basically would be inconceivable it would be unheard of and not to mention just really messed up but seeing Big John Studd win the Royal Rumble Match I am at least glad that you kept that part of history which in my opinion should never ever be changed
- But after Hogan eliminated Flair and Flair coming back in to eliminate Hogan basically sets up Flair/Hogan as their rivalry basically is set up now with the seeds being planted here and not to mention "The Dream Match" in my opinion should have happened a whole lot sooner and since it is I mean with Hogan being the heel here and Flair being the babyface it writes itself when you think about it
- Hogan now he has Elizabeth as his manager so now that he has won her services via forfeit and now Elizabeth being his manager it makes me wonder what is going to happen now? I mean Savage he no longer has Miss Elizabeth in his corner as his manager so what happens now? Will Savage be able to get her back?
- But Hogan not only destroying Macho but destroying his other best friend Brutus The Barber Beefcake I mean Hogan his heel turn I mean just when you think it can't get any worse it gets even more worse because now Hogan is probably your most over heel in terms of heel heat because he is the top heel in the company now especially because of what he has already done in the course of 1 night
- Flair being the WWF Champion by beating DiBiase for the title...I mean DiBiase he is entitled to a rematch clause isn't he not? I mean he was the former champion after all since Flair beat him for it but nonetheless their match was probably one of the best title matches that I have seen in recent memory so kudos on that
- The Brainbusters Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard becoming WWF Tag Team Champions beating Powers of Pain I mean now that Flair, Arn and Tully are all champions it begs the question of what happens now as far as the WWF goes? I mean Powers of Pain they do have a rematch for those titles and not to mention Arn & Tully are going to have a lot of superstars after them now especially now that they are packing the gold and a lot of superstars are going to be after Flair especially since he is packing the gold too

Gene: Hey you could hurt her!
Hogan: And what are you going to do about it brother? What will guys like Ric Flair and the Macho Man do? Gene: Well we are moments away from your match with Brutus Beefcake after you viciously attacked him with a steel chair! Hogan: It was more than he deserved. Gene: I have to ask Miss Elizabeth are you alright? Liz: (has her head down in shame almost in tears) Yes.
Hogan: You don't need to talk to her because I did it, I have Miss Elizabeth as my manager. I took away the most precious thing in the world from Randy Savage, I did what not even Ted Dibiase could do, and now she's all mine brother. Gene: And what is your strategy for tonight? Hogan: (laughs) Like I'm going to tell you! Let's go Liz! ________________________________________________________ The "Incredible" Hulk Hogan (w/Elizabeth) vs. Brutus Beefcake in Singles competition Beefcake is out waiting in the ring.

In this timeline he joined earlier and will work as a manager for the Brainbusters and Flair.
Dillon is out and talks about the state of wrestling till Ted Dibiase comes out with Virgil and Sherri. Dibiase: You can shut your mouth I know everything about you and I can't believe this Jack Tunney that you would welcome this bafoon into the WWF. Tunney: Now Mr. Dibiase we would like to go with the contract negotiations for the Main Event on February 3rd live on NBC. Dibiase: No no no...I'll have that world title soon enough, but I'm out here for two reasons. One is I want you to realize Mr. Tunney that these guys are trying to take over the WWF, and two I won't be wrestling at the Main Event. Tunney: Now now you're the one who requested a rematch. Dibiase: I want someone who I've worked with before get his shot, someone who I have paid handsomely to destroy Ric Flair and end his miserable career once and for all because nothing will make me more happy than to see these invaders try to take over our spotlight and I've got a lot of guys in the back who agree with me... Flair: (laughs) You could say what you wan't but you're afraid, very afraid of stepping in the ring with me again.
Dibiase: I'm not done talking to the President, and now that the Brainbusters and Ric Flair are champions, and you have this bufoon of a manager out here can't you see what's happening here Mr. Tunney? Tunney: Who do you have in mind? (Suddenly Andre the Giant with Heenan walk out) Dibiase: I don't even think Ric Flair will accept the challenge.
Flair: I'll take on anyone, anywhere, just name it. Dibiase: It'll be Andre the Giant (laughs)!  Andre is in the ring and gets behind Flair to choke him out. Dillon struggles as Heenan shoves him out of the ring. Later the Brainbusters run in to help as Andre let's go holds the title up high and throws it into the ring and leaves. ________________________________________________________ The Twin Towers (w/Slick) def.

Flair: Wooo! I showed the world when I won this belt whose number one, but man each and every night I go out there for all the fans, for everyone who from the bottom of my heart I want to say thank you, but when times are tough, when Giant's get rough, there's one man I feel that has no respect for anyone but himself a man who I should really be facing tonight, but he cowars away at my sight. Gene: Are you talking about Ted Dibiase? Flair: I'm done with him, he can collect all his millions and shove it down his loud-mouth because I'm holding unto this title, J.J Dillon, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard and I are here to stay in the WWF. We want fair play, but Dibiase and Bobby Heenan want to cause trouble, they want to stir something up, but maybe they're right, maybe it's time to bring down the status quo in the WWF, the Hulk Hogans of professional wrestling, and it all begins tonight when I break down a tower of a man, Andre the Giant Woo! Let's go! _________________________________________________________ The "Nature Boy" Ric Flair (w/J.J Dillon) (c) vs. Andre the Giant (w/Heenan and Ted Dibiase) for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship Ric Flair gets out to a pop with Dillon by his side.

Heenan demands Andre to stop as Andre grabs a hold of Heenan and Heenan begs for his life till fans notice Heenan wetting his pants. Fans laugh and approve of Andre's face turn. Heenan runs away in disgrace. _________________________________________________________ Mean Gene with Randy Savage:  Gene: What a wild turn of events, Ric Flair picks up the win and Andre the Giant turns on Bobby Heenan and Ted Dibiase...but now at this time is what could arguably one of the biggest grude matches in history in a fifteen feet high steel cage, Randy Savage is up against the man who took away his manager Miss Elizabeth, the Incredible Hulk Hogan. Savage: (gets really angry) Don't you say...don't you say ya don't you say his name ya I don't like it! Gene: Alright. Savage: Ya ya I'll say it myself ya Hulk Hogan ya Hulk Hogan ya Hulk Hogan!

You don't own her ya you don't and when I'm done with you ya I'll....(pauses)...(calms down) man my head's a bit shaky ya maybe the pressure's rising ya I want that Steel Cage up and ready I want him now! (leaves) Gene: Back to you Jesse.... Jesse and Vince are at the announce table as the cage is being readied, talking about the Hulk-Macho feud and they show highlights of the Mega Powers uniting and imploding. Mean Gene with Hulk Hogan:  Gene: I'm here now with the Incredible Hulk Hogan who is getting ready for his match...now where is Miss Elizabeth? Hogan: O she'll be out with me she has too, don't you worry about her. Gene: Now come on Hulkster, don't you think you've taken this all too far with Miss Elizabeth, she clearly wants to be with Randy Savage!
Hogan: What? She belongs to me! I own her got it! And tonight Randy Savage is going to turn into the Nacho Man, as he'll be selling Nachos at the stands everywhere Liz and I go. And if things don't go my way, well let's say I got a plan B. Soon Liz is going to get it, she'll understand what I mean to her, that I want to protect her and I will be her man. Gene: What are you kidding me? Hogan: That's right brother, the Hulksters going to have a mistress soon enough (laughs and leaves) Gene: O give me a break (shakes his head) Hulk Hogan is a lost soul, back to you Jesse. _________________________________________________________ The "Incredible" Hulk Hogan (w/Elizabeth) vs. Randy "Macho Man" Savage in a Steel Cage Match Randy Savage climbs the cage, watching the crowd at the top. Hogan makes his way out with Elizabeth. Randy looks upset almost in tears, shaking his head. Hogan gets close enough to the cage and kisses Elizabeth! Randy does something crazy and LEAPS from the top of the cage only for Hogan to land a punch as Randy falls. Hogan laughs like a mad man and gets in the ring as Elizabeth checks up on Randy and WWF Officials run out. Randy tries to get back up and he's badly hurt. Liz tells him to forget about the match but he refuses as he grabs a hold of the cage. Hogan runs back outside and grabs a hold of Savage and smashes his head to the cage. Hogan drags him into the ring and the cage door closes and the bell rings.  Hogan taunts the fans with his ear gesture, posing for those who give the most heat. Randy is struggling to get back up as he limps up. Hogan lands a punch and Savage is down. Hogan laughs it out as Liz is upset. Hogan lifts Savage but Savage starts to land punches and whips Hogan to the ropes for a back elbow as both men fall. Hogan is up first as Savage spears Hogan and starts to beat up on him on the mat. Savage is really angry but Hogan gets a front-face chinlock in and starts working on it till Savage is completely out. Hogan starts a slow climb laughing his way up and taunting the fans. Savage struggles to get back up and jumps at Hogan's legs as Hogan falls from the top! Savage is in control, he works on Hogan's legs and back.

Brown drops Savage and starts to beat up on him badly giving Hogan enough time to crawl out of the ring. Winner: Hulk Hogan via cage door.Brown continues his beating of Savage till WWF Officials run in to get him to stop. Elizabeth is in the ring with a bloodied Savage. Vince says that this must be Hogan's plan B, or as Jesse says plan Brown. _________________________________________________________ Hogan is in the back as the cameras are following him and Mean Gene tries to get some answers.  Gene: What in the world was that Hulkster? Hogan: I'm getting out of here can't you see?
Gene: Is this how it's going to be like from now on with you?
Hogan: Whatever.
Gene: I apologize folks for what has transpired here tonight wait there is Bad News Brown...Mr. Brown!  Brown: Finally someone wants to talk to me, a black man who nobody gives a damn. Gene: What are you talking about? Brown: That's right, the Incredible One told me if things got rough I'd help him and I did because I wanted to send a message to President Jack Tunney. I was promised championships man, I was promised world caliber matches and what did I get? You got these neanderthals from another professional wrestling world coming in to the WWF and taking over and you can't see it. Gene: But why did you attack Randy Savage, you cut him open!
Brown: Why not? I'm from Harlem, I'm from the streets and this ain't nothing he's never had a proper beating in his life. I've had it rough growing up, I've been beaten and scarred and at times I had to live among sewer rats, ya you heard me. Gene: But why! Why now? Brown: Because I just need to do it. Macho Man was Jack Tunney's golden boy, and now he's nothing. He's a nobody, got no girl, got no championships, got nothing and what he gets the main event spot here tonight? Give me a break (leaves) Gene: Come on please! Wait folks I think Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth are in the medical room as we speak let's see if we can take a peak...  Randy is being held down by a doctor and a few WWF Officials and suddenly he bursts out and knocks them all down. Randy goes on a rampage as Liz tries to stop him but he says to leave him alone and pushes her as she falls down. Randy runs across the hallways as the camera tries to follow him as he shouts for Brown and Hogan. Randy starts punching out faces and heals in the back and getting into a fight with the Hart Foundation as they try to stop him. Savage starts to break things as blood continues to down his face and he continues to shout Brown and Hogan till Brutus Beefcake tries to calm him down and Randy pushes him aside and collapses in tears about Liz and how he lost her and even hurt her, Beefcake holds unto him as it gets crowded in the back. Jesse: Randy Savage has really gone mad McMahon. But I have to admit he's the toughest guy I've ever seen.
Vince: And I think anyone would understand and we apologize to all the viewers at home for this...and thank you for watching. |

Love: O my I can't wait for Wrestlemania. Tunney: That's right Wrestlemania V will be one of the biggest wrestling extravagenzas of all time and will take place in Atlantic City at Trump Plaza on April 2nd.
Love: Do tell us more! Tunney: Since the "Nature Boy" Ric Flair is the current WWF Champion, and after careful consideration about who the number one contender is, I would like to bring the Incredible Hulk Hogan out here tonight so that I may give him the opportunity first hand to challenge for the World title. Instead of Hogan, Bad News Brown comes out.  Brown: I thought I made the message loud and clear at the Main Event Tunney: Hey now you had no business interfering in the Steel Cage match and you have no business being out here.
Brown: (laughs) So I'm just another black man whose being blackballed by a good for nothing President. I was promised titles, I was promised high caliber matches, I was made so many promises but instead you give it to a guy whose already held that World title twice? Tunney: You are not the number one contender and I thought he was your friend?
Brown: I got no friends because I don't need them. I'm a black man trying to make it in this white world called the WWF. And what's worse is you keep favoring the Ric Flairs and what not, bringing these fools into the WWF who are clearly trying to take over....they don't belong. You shouldn't be President. Tunney: I've had enough of this, I'm out here to talk about Wrestlemania. Brown: No you talk to me! Tunney: Fine what do you want? Love: Now now Mr. Brown we should be spreading some love not hate....
Brown: What are you talking about boy? You know what I'm sick and tired of you all I want my title shot because I want to beat up that good for nothing Nature Boy. Tunney: No you do not deserve a title shot for that matter I should be fining you for violating...
Brown: (Bad News grabs a hold of Tunney) What did you say? What did you say?
Tunney: Let go of me! Bad News knocks out Tunney right across the kisser as he lays on the floor.

Gorilla: The contract signing will be taking place soon for what could be the Match of the Century.

Gorilla: You are really passionate about this conspiracy. Heenan: Of course I am I know something was up, why is J.J Dillon in the WWF now? Gorilla: Because he can. Well folks Bad News Brown has been suspended but the Macho Man Randy Savage who has recovered from his match at The Main Event had this to say: Randy Savage promo:  Ooo ya the Macho Man doesn't forget ya he doesn't forget ya Hulk Hogan is clearly a coward a loser ya! But you Bad News Brown ya you just hadn't had enough of the Macho Man ya I gave you title shots when I was the champ ya what the lord and master of the ring wasn't enough for you ya but I now know the kind of man you are ya the kind of chump that deserves the beating of his life! Ya I saw how you knocked Tunney's teeth out ya you don't deserve to be in the WWF yourself but you deserve to be in the ring ya I know you do and that's with the Madness! You cost me my match! You ruined everything between me and Elizabeth you made me hurt her! I want to challenge you at Wrestlemania make it happen Jack Tunney!
Heenan: The guy's a lunatic, I wouldn't even want any of my guys in the ring with a lunatic like him.
Gorilla: Speaking of your guys what about Andre the Giant, it looks to me he's no longer part of your family. Heenan: After all I've ever done for him? How dare he! How dare he touch me! Well I'm not going to be worried because I know the Million Dollar Man is a man of his word and he's promised me that just as Andre has lost two main events in a row at Wrestlemania, well this Wrestlemania he's going to lose another and he'll lose more than that.

Hosts: Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby "the Brain" Heenan
Gorilla: Folks the Wrestlemania V contract signing between World Champion Ric Flair and the Incredible Hulk Hogan will be taking place on March 11th during Saturday Night's Main Event. Heenan: Speaking of Wrestlemania V I got to say I'm impressed with the lineup so far. Wrestlemania V Current Update:
 The Brainbusters (w/J.J Dillon) (c) vs. The Hart Foundation (w/Jimmy Hart) for the WWF Tag Team Championships
Strike Force vs. The Twin Towers (w/Slick) in a Tag team match
Ric Rude (w/Heenan) (c) vs. Jake "the Snake" Roberts (w/Cheryl Roberts) in a Snake Pit match for the WWF Intercontinental Championship
Rockin' Robin (c) vs. Sensational Sherri (w/Ted Dibiase) for the WWF Ladies World Championship
King Hercules (w/Heenan) vs. Ricky "the Dragon" Steamboat for the King's Crown
The "Nature Boy" Ric Flair (w/J.J Dillon) (c) vs. The "Incredible" Hulk Hogan (w/Elizabeth) for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship
________________________________________________________ Gorilla: And more matches to come of course Randy Savage wants to get his hands on Bad News Brown, so we'll have to wait for an answer from Jack Tunney who wants to actually suspend Bad News Brown indefinitely. And as for youi Heenan, it looks like your both Ric Rude and King Hercules have titles on the line. Heenan: What the heck is a Snake Pit match, I never agreed to this?
Gorilla: Well your man Ric Rude has. It's a No DQ match, but the difference this time is that there is actually going to be a pit of Snakes. Heenan: What!!! Gorilla: Don't look at me Rude signed the contract! Heenan: What in the world is going on! I can't take such insubordination! I didn't even...you know what I'll have a talk with Rude, but until then I'm more concerned about Andre the Giant as Ted Dibiase hasn't spoken to me about what he wants to do. I know he's challenging him for Wrestlemania V. Gorilla: Well we'll just have to wait and see!

So I wonder if The Million Dollar Man since he has aligned himself with Bobby The Brain Heenan is DiBiase a member of The Heenan Family?
Seeing Rick Rude and Bobby I wonder if this leads to a Rude babyface turn because of the Snake Pit Match with Jake the Snake because of the insubordination on Rude's part accepting the match?
Savage/Brown will obviously happen at WrestleMania V

WWF Prime Time Wrestling
March 6th, 1989
Hosts: Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby "the Brain" Heenan
Official Statement from WWF President Jack Tunney  I have heard the appeal from Randy "Macho Man" Savage and a petition by fans around the world about reinstating Bad News Brown to the WWF. In the WWF we have a zero tolerance for such behaviour, and I was kind enough to suspend Bad News Brown for his assault on me and for his actions at The Main Event and wish to make it an indefinite suspension. However after careful consideration and discussions with WWF Officials, I will grant Mr. Brown a reinstatement for Wrestlemania V. This means that at Wrestlemania V:Randy "Macho Man" Savage vs. Bad News Brown in a Harlem Street FightThis match will be a first of its kind, a match with Harlem Street rules and we'll have more details about it in the coming weeks. Thank you. _________________________________________ The Incredible Hulk Hogan promo: 
So it settles it, at Saturday Night's Main Event on March 11th, it'll go down in history as a day of infamy for the Ric Flairs and his goons brother. Because when I sign that World Championship contract, I will not only win the World title back, I will make sure that Ric Flair will never again return to the WWF! So whacha gonna do when the 24 inch pythons and the Incredible One runs wild on you!__________________________________________ Ric Flair promo:  Wooo! Well well well so we have a Number one contender, and his name is Hulk Hogan. Man I've never though it was possible that we would ever meet in the ring, but it's finally happening. The two biggest names in professional wrestling to go head-to-head at Wrestlemania V, it doesn't get any better than this. __________________________________________ Gorilla: Well did you talk to Rick Rude? Heenan: Yes and all is good trust me there is nothing happening with him and I'll find a way to get him out of the Snake Pit stipulation.
Gorilla: And what about Andre the Giant, will Ted Dibiase challenge him at Wrestlemania V? Heenan: The Million Dollar Man has promised me that he'll make it known at Saturday Night's Main Event. |

Hersheypark Arena, Pennsylvania
Hosts: Vince McMahon and Jesse "the Body" Ventura
Rick Rude (w/Heenan) (c) def. Brutus Beefcake via pinfall to retain the WWF Intercontinental Championship. At the end of the match Rude starts beating up on Beefcake even though he has Cheryl Roberts' tights on, Jake Roberts runs in with Damien and knocks down Rude. He drapes Damien over Rude as Heenan runs away.  _________________________________________________ World Championship Contract Signing Instead of in the ring it's in a boardroom. Officials are arguing as Flair and Hogan are across from each other. Miss Elizabeth is standing behind the Hulkster and J.J Dillon is sitting beside Flair with President Tunney at the head of the table and Mean Gene is with a mic with him.  Hogan: My shoulders ah, will you Liz? (Liz in shame starts to massage Hogan's shoulders) Ah that feels good the Macho Man must really miss you (laughs)  Ric: What the? (everyone is quite) You know you make me sick you know? Doing that to someone as innocent as Elizabeth, who I might add was the First Lady of Wrestling. Hogan: Why don't you just shut your mouth and sign the damn contract so I could go home. Gene: Gentlemen please, I want to begin by saying that we are hear tonight for a special occasion, the signing of two of the biggest names in the world of professional wrestling, here the challenger the Incredible Hulk Hogan, who is a former two-time World Heavyweight Champion with his manager the lovely Elizabeth, and of course the current WWF World Heavyweight Champion, the Nature Boy Ric Flair with his manager J.J Dillon.
Tunney: Alright gentlemen I have the contract here...now wait a minute I don't recall these pages (WWF Officials are taking a look at it)
Gene: Well it looks like the Incredible Hulk Hogan's lawyers have introduced a new stipulation here which suggests that if Ric Flair loses the match, he along with J.J Dillon and the Brainbusters must all leave the World Wrestling Federation.
Dillon: Let me see that contract (takes a look at it) we're not signing this (Dillon and Ric whisper to each other)
Hogan: What you're afraid that your little invasion of the WWF is about to end, come on brother so what is this the so-called legendary Ric Flair is just another nobody. Ric: I'd sign it but the way I see it is that Hulk Hogan has nothing to lose in this match. He could win and get what he wants but if he loses...well it's just another title match for him. Hogan: You don't get to come here and negotiate with me! Ric: I'm not signing this (Ric and Dillon get up) Gene: Gentlemen please please we understand....
Hogan: (gets up) What are you yellow?
Dillion: We want these new pages out of the contract.
Tunney: Mr. Hulk Hogan I believe that they're right, as President of the WWF I'm not going to include this stipulation.
Ric: How about this, if I win, you leave the WWF and if I lose, well I lose the World title and there will be no rematch clause? Hogan: No deal, I want you out of the WWF. Ric: It ain't happening. Hogan: (turns the whole boardroom table over and grabs a hold of Elizabeth) I'll hurt her man, I'll do it.  Ric: What the heck? She's your manager man!
Hogan: Sign it! Sign the damn contract or Miss Elizabeth is going to get it. Ric: (looks concerned) I'll sign it I'll sign it (signs it)
Hogan: (laughs) You just signed your death sentence (grabs the contract and signs it using Liz's back) you're going to regret this brother. Vince: (on commentary) I can't believe this!
Jesse: I feel like getting back in the ring again and beating up Hulk Hogan I want to do this, Vince McMahon I want your support sign me up for one more match. Vince: It would be my pleasure!
Wrestlemania V Main Event Update: The "Nature Boy" Ric Flair (w/J.J Dillon) (c) vs. Hulk Hogan (w/Elizabeth) for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship. If Ric Flair loses, Flair, Dillon and the Brainbusters must leave the WWF. _________________________________________________ The Hart Foundation (w/Jimmy Hart) def. The Rockers via pinfall.

At the end of the match, King Hercules runs down the aisle and starts to beat up on him, but Ricky manages to toss him to the outside and embarass him. _________________________________________________ Ted Dibiase comes into the ring with Virgil and Sherri.  Dibiase: First of all I want to congratulate Hulk Hogan on getting Ric Flair to sign the contract. I can't wait to see these invaders leave the WWF. Secondly, I'm going to make sure that Sensational Sherri get's her Ladies World title back. Until then there is another man that I would like to see retire at Wrestlemania V. How dare he attack the true richest man in professional wrestling he makes me sick! I'm talking about Andre the Giant and I want to call him out!
Andre walks out to the ring and gets in.Dibiase: So Mr. Andre I want to ask you, do you want a match for Wrestlemania V?
Andre: Ha if you think I'm scared of you (suddenly Big John Studd walks out to the ring), you're a puny millionaire that I can easily squash.  Vince: (on commentary) What in the world is the Royal Rumble winner Big John Studd doing out here? Studd attacks Andre from behind and easily knocks him down. Dibiase: (laughs) I got another giant and like always everyone's got a price for the Million Dollar Man! Big John Studd I want you to attack him I want you to weaken him and destroy him!  Suddenly bagpipes are being played and it's ROWDY RODDY PIPER! The fans go absolutely crazy as Piper runs in and punches out Dibiase and Studd as Virgil tries to stop him, Piper rakes his eyes and he falls out. Sherri runs away as Piper helps out Andre and they both stand together as Dibiase and Studd talk trash to end the show.

Flair the WWF Champion he has a lot to lose in this match if he loses the WWF Championship then that means Flair, Dillon, Arn and Tully are all gone if Flair loses but what if Flair wins and retains the title? It could happen but then think about this if Flair loses what if Arn and Tully retain their titles? Then that means the WWF Tag Team Championships would be gone because Arn and Tully would leave the company with the titles but at the same time for Flair and his boys they have a lot riding on this
I can see a Tag Team Match happening with Piper and Andre teaming up to face DiBiase and Studd at WrestleMania V

WWF Prime Time Wrestling
March 13th, 1989
Hosts: Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby "the Brain" HeenanGorilla: Shortly after SNME went off the air, President Jack Tunney had this to say regarding the WWF Heavywight Championship contract signing and more: Jack Tunney Statement: ![]()  On March 11th, during Saturday Night's Main Event, a contract signing took place between World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair and the Incredible Hulk Hogan for the main event match at Wrestlemania V. During the proceedings we found that new pages with a stipulation requiring Ric Flair, the Brainbusters and J.J Dillon to leave the World Wrestling Federation if Ric Flair lost the match. Although the contract is signed by both parties, it must be understood that when new pages are released within a contract the President of the WWF must sign the doted lines to approve such pages.
I have done no such thing. These pages were not passed unto me by Mr. Hogan's lawyers in time and despite it being signed, I will not sign them myself. On the other hand to stipulate that other WWF Superstars such as Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard would have to leave the WWF if Ric Flair lost, is unheard of and would've required their signatures. To eliminate further confusion, the match between Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan will happen as originally planned. On the other hand I have taken an executive order over the contract as is my right as WWF President, with my own stipulation, meaning that the match will be as follows:The "Nature Boy" Ric Flair (w/J.J Dillon) (c) vs. The "Incredible" Hulk Hogan (w/Elizabeth) for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship in a No DQ and No Countout Match. The nature of this match is to ensure that there must be a winner between the two biggest names in professional wrestling. Thank you._______________________________________ Gorilla: There you have it folks!
Heenan: Are you kidding me! Ric Flair agreed to it this is a travesty! If I was the manager of the Incredible One I would've made sure Jack Tunney would go for it but instead he decides on wanting to keep Elizabeth around.
Gorilla: Would you honestly want to be the manager of Hulk Hogan? Heenan: Not really, but if it was to get rid of these guys yes I would do anything. I gotta talk to Dibiase about this, I got to talk to Jack Tunney because this is ridiculous. Gorilla: Well folks Wrestlemania V is shaping up to be a big one and Brain, what is just happening to the Heenan family, Muraco and Race fought each other as we saw on Superstars, and now they want to face each other in a retirement match. You lost Andre, Studd is now with Dibiase....what is going on? Heenan: I've given up on Muraco and Harley Race, I'm done with them, the both of them. I've had it up to here with these bafoons. Gorilla: So you won't be in anyone's corner?
Heenan: Just those loyal to me. _______________________________________ Wrestlemania V Card Update:  Hacksaw Jim Duggan vs. Haku (w/Heenan) in Singles competition

Hulk Hogan promo:
So Jack Tunney wants to play politics, Jack Tunney wants to play with the big time, well let me tell you something President Jack Tunney, sooner or later you're going to lose your seat. I'll get my lawyers to make you rethink about what you did brother, but I also know a millionaire who'll sue you big time for what you did with the World Championship contract. Ric Flair signed it and he deserves to lose brother. As for you Ric Flair, now I know your weakness as it always has been is with your high-life style and high-ridin it's women brother and maybe just maybe I'll make things worse for the Luscious Elizabeth (laughs)
Randy Savage responds to Hogan about Elizabeth promo:
 Ooo ya I heard those words from your mouth Hulk Hogan ya I saw what you did to Elizabeth! Don't you dare threaten her ya...but don't you worry ya it's a No DQ Match for you with the Nature Boy mmmm...that sounds delicious ya good because after I'm done with Bad News Brown ya I'm going to run out to kick your (bleep) and save Elizabeth!
Ric Flair response to Hogan promo:
Wooo! You Hulk Hogan ain't gonna get rid of us that easily! It's gonna take a whole lot more than money, lawyers and contracts to take us out of the WWF! We belong here like everyone else, and the Nature Boy the high-stylin', profilin', limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin' n' dealin' son of a gun is going to pin you for the 1-2-3! Wooo!
Gorilla: Folks next week Rowdy Roddy Piper is making a return for Piper's Pit! It's back! I can't wait for it and he's got a lot to say about the state of the WWF and I just can't wait. Heenan: Piper should just go back to hollywood, he's doing well there and that's good for him. He's an actor now, he chose his profession. Gorilla: O now what you want Piper out too? Heenan: What I want is Andre the Giant to come back to his senses. Gorilla: What you miss him now? Heenan: No I don't know anymore honestly, because I'm thinking of picking a side between Harley Race and Don Muraco.
Gorilla: O give me a break. It just seems the Heenan family is falling apart and if Rick Rude or King Hercules lose their titles, well...
Heenan: Don't you even say that! |

It seems Macho Man might interfere in the Flair/Hogan match but also I wonder what Hogan is really going to do to get Tunney to change his mind? It seems The Heenan Family is falling apart but I wonder what Heenan is going to do now?
