WWF Tuesday Night Titans
May 21st, 1986
Hosts: Vince McMahon and Lord Alfred HayesBobby Heenan is brought in at the beginning of the show.  Heenan: I've got a big announcement to make. Vince: And what's that? Heenan: I've just signed on two top stars, two of some of the best in the world and I would like to bring them out. Hercules and Harley Race come out.
Heenan: That's right Hercules and "Handsome" Harley Race have joined the Heenan Family. Vince: What a family you have there now Brain.
Heenan: Big John Studd, the Magnificent Muraco, King Kong Bundy and now these two. This is going to be the best family in WWF. Eat your heart out Jimmy Hart, Mr. Fuji, Freddie Blassie it doesn't matter who you are, I may have respect for them but we will always be in competition with each other and I got the best. Vince: Well I have to ask, Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff, who was once part of the Heenan family has gotten himself farther than most people. Heenan: Paul Orndorff is exactly as Adrian Adonis makes him out to be. He's Hulk Junior. He aspires to be Hulk Hogan, he's a wannabe. And what's with the same entrance music? He really is Hulk Junior. Vince: Well he did gain a huge victory over King Kong Bundy at MSG let's take a look (highlights shown) Heenan: He clearly had his legs on the ropes in that match, he cheated to win and the idiot referee couldn't notice. But I have to be honest, why wasn't Hogan out there for the match? Hulk Hogan is for Hulk Hogan, he only cares about himself and if Mr. Wonderful thinks he can become just as popular, he's mistaken.

Jimmy Hart: Bobby Heenan I got to give it to you, I have to admit you have the strongest family in the WWF in all of professional wrestling. Heenan: Thank you Jimmy Hart. The Heenan Family will be going to new places, we have Big John Studd, King Kong Bundy, Handsome Harley Race, Hercules and the Magnificent Muraco...the strongest family and to celebrate this special occasion of being the best, I am introducing the inaugral "Heenan Family Gauntlet" for $100,000. That's right $100,000 the highest I've ever paid for a contest. Adonis: Wow!! That is amazing but what is this Gauntlet you speak of?
Heenan: What this is, is one WWF Superstar, just one has to go through this gauntlet. This means that each of my guys will have three minutes to pin that one WWF Superstar and if they are unable too...the cash is yours. Adonis: So I can come in to the ring, and I would have to either let the time limit pass or eliminate them through pinfall or submission am I getting that right? Heenan: That's correct. So for this grand prize, just who...just who in the back who in the back has the guts to take on this $100,000 challenge. Jimmy: That's a lot of money baby! When does it take place? Heenan: At Saturday Night's Main Event on July 3rd that's right! Is there anyone anyone in the back? Anyone? it's $100,000 to take on the Heenan Family and each of my wrestlers will just have three minutes with you. If you could last or beat them all, the money is yours! Real American music plays and out comes Mr. Wonderful to a big pop.  Paul: I want to take this challenge...I want a chance for the big money...I've beaten Bundy and I will sure has heck last through all of your guys. I will not be beaten! Adonis: As much as I would love to see Hulk Junior get beaten up in the ring by the Heenan Family...I just don't know if he gots what it takes you know, he's still praying and training the Hulkamania way (laughs) Paul: (gets angry) What did you call me? Real American plays once again and out comes Hulk Hogan
 Hogan: First of all I've come out here to tell you Mr. Wonderful that I will always have your back (Wonderful shakes his head)...but I have to tell you I don't think you are a 100% ready after that beating you took last week. You're neck's been given you problems and I know you need to be 100% brother. Paul: What do you mean I'm not ready?

Look it's a three minute time limit, I'll do whatever it takes to win that money man so we can give it to charity together, we'll do it together...think of all the little Hulkamaniacs we could help tonight man. Paul: Fine...I got you're back...let's go do this man let's do it! ________________________________________________________ Hulk Hogan (w/Mr. Wonderful) (c) in a "Heenan Family Gauntlet Match" for $100,000 to survive and whoever pins or makes Hulk Hogan submit, wins the WWF World Heavyweight Championship. Each wrestler from the Heenan family has three minutes to pin or make Hulk Hogan submit.Howard Finkel explains the rules of the match and out comes the Heenan family all ready to go. Hulk comes in with Mr. Wonderful in his corner. Big John Studd - time limit
The Magnificent Don Muraco - time limit
"Handsome" Harley Race - time limit
Hercules - pinfall with legdrop
King Kong Bundy - pinfall with bodyslam and legdrop
After Bundy is pinned he Avalanches the Hulkster and hits a big splash as the referee gets him out of the ring. Hogan is badly hurt as he tries to get up. Orndorff is in the ring trying to help Hogan up. Suddenly Mr. Wonderful shouts to Heenan and the bell rings. Hogan starts to look around wondering why the bell rang and looks at a laughing Mr. Wonderful who kicks him. Paul hits his piledriver finisher and the pin for the win. 
Winner: Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff and NEW WWF World Heavyweight ChampionBobby Heenan jumps in with the World title belt and places it over Orndorff's waist. The five men including Heenan shake Paul's hands and hug him as they walk out. Many babyfaces start running into help Hulk Hogan. As Ornodorff gets to the back others like Adrian Adonis and Jimmy Hart and several other heels there start to celebrate. Paul does the hand-ear gesture continously as they all continue to congratulate him and Heenan opens a bottle of champagne and pours it over Paul. Mean Gene gets a chance for an interview. Paul: Gene baby I know what you're wondering but look at this title belt here look at it (has it on his shoulder now)! I am the new WWF World Heavyweight Champion! I am the greatest of all time! Gene: I have a feeling their will be retribution to pay and we have to get some word from WWF Officials regarding the legality... Heenan: There is no need because Paul Orndorff signed on with me...that's right I'm his manager now and he belongs in the Heenan family so therefore the match counted! I'm managing the new World Heavyweight Champion! Gene: (they all leave the area) I can't believe this back to you Vince. Vince: (on commentary) I can't believe what we just saw (Hogan holds on to his neck as he is being taken to the back by other babyfaces) Jesse: It's about time McMahon, Hulk Hogan had held that World title for far too long and got what he deserved. Vince: This is impossible! I can't believe this match would even be legal Hulk Hogan went through the battle of his life only to be backstabbed by his best friend I can't believe it! ________________________________________________________

Hulk: O man my title! I can't believe they took my title too! It was for the kids man...for the kids (goes unconscious as doctors start checking up on him) Gene: My goodness Hulk... Suddenly Hulk in all his rage pushes everyone away and starts to go down the hallway. He starts to punch out babyfaces and other heels asking for where Mr. Wonderful or Heenan was. Hulk starts breaking things apart and Gene keeps apologizing to those at home for what's happening. Pedro Morales tells the Hulkster that he saw them all leave the building for some party. Hulk runs out of the building for the night to end.

Paul: First of all I wanted to say something to the Hulkster because I know he'll be listening to this. I told you Hulk Hogan, I told you to back out of the challenge. What kind of idiot would put the World title on the line from a challenge like that? I tried to warn you, this was my challenge, mine! But no you wanted my spotlight, you knew that Mr. Wonderful was bigger than Hulkamania. You felt threatened that I had the guts to do the Gauntlet, that I was the first to accept the challenge before you and that all your Hulkamaniacs were going to turn to me.
Look at this poster of Hulk Hogan (which was at the stage and he tears it apart) For two long years he held this title! Hulkamania is done! Wonderfulmania is going to take the world by storm. (everyone cheers Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!)
Now for all you out there look at this piece of gold (displays the title belt) for I am the WWF World Heavyweight Champion and there is nothing bigger or better than this! (everyone cheers as they break out wine/champagne bottles for the party). Heenan comes up and announces another great victory in that Andre the Giant is suspended from the WWF for no-showing at an event and the heels cheer on. Another segment has Gene Okerlund on "location" in Japan where the WWF has signed on a new masked tag team known as The Machines with Super Machine (Ax of Demolition) and Giant Machine (Andre the Giant).

Hulk: (soft voice) You know Vince, I've been working out every day man...don't have time to go home...I'm hurt man...but in our darkest hour brother...we need faith we need to continue training, continue taking our vitamins and prayers...that's what keeps us up that's what makes us strong brother. Vince: Many are saying that you took this more personally than professionally... Hulk: (gets angry) He was like my brother man...he was following in my footsteps doing everything the Hulkamania way but maybe it was for the fame man...maybe that's what he wanted to get in my head and rip Hulkamania apart from the inside man. But Mr. Wonderful if you're listening man...I'm not going to let you take the best of me...because when I do get back in the ring with you...you're going to wish you never met Hulk Hogan man...you're going to wish you never wrestled in your life.
Vince: Hulk Hogan the world wants to know when you'll get back and claim your rematch... Hulk: I've been thinking long and hard. I learned a hard lesson Vince...a very hard lesson that for one minute you could be on top of the world, and the next thrown in the bottom of a well man...cause that's how I feel with Paul Ornodorff man...(gets really angry) Orndorff... if you think for one minute man for one minute you got a chance to face me in the ring...you're mistaken.

WWF Tuesday Night Titans
July 14th, 1986
Hosts: Mene Gene and Lord Alfred HayesGuests: Tito Santana and the Foreign Legion Bobby "the Brain" Heenan and Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff (they come out to "Real American" music as a mockery and Paul does the Hulk hand-ear gesture to the audience)  Gene: Welcome to the show, Bobby "the Brain" Heenan at Saturday Night's Main Event you scored one of the biggest victories in professional wrestling history, when your man Mr. Wonderful pinned Hulk Hogan to become the new WWF World Heavyweight Champion. Heenan: I've been saying it time and time again, Hulk Hogan is only for Hulk Hogan. Paul: I warned him, I told him not to do the challenge the day of, but too bad because he lost his precious title to me. Gene: So tell me how did this happen was this pre-planned the whole time? Heenan: Well first of all I expected Hulk Hogan to take on the challenge first, no offense to Mr. Wonderful, I did and I didn't think he could win and secondly I didn't think he was foolish enough to put up his World title up for grabs, I was wrong (laughs). But I noticed the truth, I noticed all this time how Mr. Wonderful the new Champion of the World, was being treated by that selfish Hulk Hogan. I noticed how everyone was calling him Hulk Junior...
Gene: Now wait a minute you were calling him...
Heenan: Now now let me continue...so after the way the Hulkster treated him and tried to take away the spotlight from Paul Orndorff, I then called Paul the night before the big match and he agreed to sign a contract with me. He signed as a member of the Heenan family before the match took place. Gene: Now hold on a moment because when the Gauntlet challenge was set up this happened before you signed on Mr. Wonderful...that would mean that he couldn't have...
Heenan: You are a loud mouth aren't you Gene?
Gene: I bet your pardon? Heenan: Look heres the deal, the referee made the decision and WWF President Jack Tunney had accepted the outcome. So there is nothing anyone can do about it Mr. Wonderful is the official World champion.
Paul: That's right, I am the World champion (gets up and does the hand-ear gesture to mostly heat, but some fans shout "Wonderful!")
Gene: Now Mr. Wonderful I'm sure Hulk Hogan will be wanting a rematch soon. Paul: The answer is no (laughs)
Heenan: That's right Hulk Hogan doesn't deserve a title shot.
Gene: Are you saying you won't offer him a World title shot, for crying out loud... Heenan: He has to prove himself, prove it that he can take on Mr. Wonderful. Gene: If you say so, but in order to continue on as World champion he has to defend the world title... Heenan: O he will be defending the World title soon and his first title defense will be against Sifi Avi soon. Matches: King Kong Bundy def. Tony Atlas via pinfall

Hulk Hogan shoot interview in 2012 Interviewer: You were the World champion since '84 and all of a sudden you lose the World title to Mr. Wonderful two years later. I'm wondering how did they all go down because from what I heard it wasn't supposed to happen.
Hogan: Well Vince called me in one day and told me about an idea of dropping the belt to Orndorff. I didn't know if that was a good idea I mean it was a huge risk. Why put a stop to something so good you know? I almost took it personally I mean Hulkamania was running wild and we were making big money already. Interviewer: Did you anticipate how hot the feud would get? Hogan: O man we sold out everywhere to the point that we needed bigger venues you know...we even oversold tickets had people stand without seats even if that resulted in a few hundred refunds there was just so much demand and comp(limentary) tickets they didn't even exist because it was in huge demand...but yah I didn't want to go through with it at first till Vince figured out a really good finish with that whole Gauntlet challenge and I was convinced this would be big money. Interviewer: How were you convinced?
Hogan: Well think about it a heel champion who betrayed the top guy, cheating his way to the title plus mimicking everything the top guy did...who wouldn't want to pay for that feud...it was really hot. Paul wasn't meant to be a babyface, he was always good as a heel... Interviewer: Was the " Great Betrayal" planned from the start or... Hogan: O ya Vince wanted Orndorff to turn heel, which is why he was partnered up with me and this was a great way to do so.
Interviewer: Despite being a heel Mr. Wonderful was still cheered by many too.
Hogan: Yeah he was, people still loved him but I think they loved him as a heel more than a baby face (laughs). |
