First off I am not trying to steal Darbicus's stuff, I thought of my own idea to rebook WWE PPV's of my own. I will go through WrestleMania 1 through WrestleMania 40.
WrestleMania 1 - New York City - Madison Square Garden
The Hart Foundation vs The Bulldogs:
If you wanna start off WrestleMania 1 in a big way, then you have to go to the future, The Hart Foundation vs The British Bulldogs. This is a good back and forth tag team match, The Hart Foundation are managed by Jimmy Hart while The Bulldogs are managed by Captain Lou Albano who will be the full-time manager or The Bulldogs until 1986. The Bulldogs win the match over The Hart Foundation to get WrestleMania kicked off in a big way.
Junkyard Dog vs Buddy Rose
In real-life at WrestleMania 1. JYD took on Greg Valentine for the Intercontinental Championship, but tonight he's in the second match in my real life against Buddy Rose. JYD gets a easy peasy squash over Rose to get his first WrestleMania win.
Jimmy Snuka vs Bob Orton
These two didn't compete at WrestleMania cause they managed their counterparts in the main event. So I am deciding to put these two in the ring in the third match. Orton & Snuka put on a great 7 minute match, but as Snuka goes for the Superfly Splash. Orton rolls out of the way and hits Snuka with his cast off the top rope to get the win.
Battle Royal: King Kong Bundy vs S.D. Jones vs Rocky Johnson vs Ivan Putski vs Blackjack Mulligan vs Brutus Beefcake vs Afa vs Bruno Sammartino vs Sika vs Samula vs Corporal Kirchner vs Chief Jay Strongbow vs Matt Borne vs Jack Brisco vs Gerald Brisco vs King Tonga vs Johnny Rodz vs Paul Roma vs Tony Atlas vs Pedro Morales vs Rick McGraw vs The Executioner vs Matt Borne vs Steve Lombardi
Okay, there was no people you didn't have for WrestleMania 1. So I've decided to have the people that didn't appear at WrestleMania 1 in a Battle Royal Match. King Kong Bundy gets a lot of eliminations and wins the match to show that he is a powerhouse in that match.
Bodyslam Match: Andre The Giant vs Big John Studd
Keep the match the same.
Ricky Steamboat vs Don Muraco
Ricky Steamboat was at WrestleMania 1 in real life, but he wrestled Matt Borne, So I've decided to put him against Don Muraco. Steamboat and Muraco have a good 10 minute match. Muraco of course gets the win with help from Mr. Fuji with Fuji hitting Steamboat with his cane.
WWF Women's Title: Leilani Kai vs Wendi Richter
Keep this feel good moment the same.
WWF Tag Team Titles: Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff vs U.S. Express
Keep this match the same, but with a different result.
WWF Intercontinental Title: Tito Santana vs Greg Valentine w/Jimmy Hart
Tito Santana will face Greg Valentine in my rebooking for the Intercontinental Title. Valentine & Santana have another great classic battle in the next to last match. But in the end, Santana captures the Intercontinental Title in a feel good WrestleMania Moment:
WWF Title: Hulk Hogan w/Mr. T vs Roddy Piper w/Paul Orndorff
I won't do the tag team match because the WWF Championship was never defended at WrestleMania 1. Hogan and Piper put on one of the classic WrestleMania main events of all time. But when Hogan begins to suplex Piper back in the ring. Bob Orton comes out to grab the legs of Hulk Hogan and Piper pulls down on Hogan to get the win and regain his first WWF Title to send the New York Crowd into a frenzy and even a riot.
Summerslam 1985 - Boston Garden - Boston, MA - August 25, 1985
I am going to do Summerslam 1985 instead of 1988. And Summerslam will be held at the Boston Garden in Boston, MA.
WWF Tag Team Titles: Brutus Beefcake & Greg Valentine vs The U.S. Express
After Greg Valentine loses the Intercontinental Title. He starts to team with Brutus Beefcake taking on the U.S. Express. Valentine & Beefcake gain a manager in Johnny V. Valentine & Beefcake win the Tag Team Titles by cheating thanks to their manager Johnny V.
Paul Orndorff vs Bob Orton
After Piper's WrestleMania I Win. He and Hogan fight in the main event on May 11, 1985 at Saturday Night's Main Event. Hogan wins by DQ after Bob Orton interferes, but Paul Orndorff eventually turns face and helps Hogan. Orndorff turns against Piper & Orton. And in Orndorff's breaking free from Piper and Orton. He gets the win by defeating Orton.
WWF Women's Championship: Wendi Richter vs Leilani Kai
The rematch from WrestleMania I. But Wendi Richter will retain the Women's Title again over Leilani Kai.
Randy Savage vs Pedro Morales
OOOH YEAH!. The Macho Man makes his Summerslam Debut as he takes on former WWE Champion & former WWE Intercontinental Champion Pedro Morales. Of course Savage has the lovely Miss Elizabeth in his corner. Morales is a veteran, but even the Young Guns have to take down the Veterans and Savage exactly does just that.
Corporal Kirchner vs The Iron Sheik
USA vs Persian. Corporal Kirchner wants to end the hate that Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff have towards the United States of America, but unfortunately The Iron Sheik is able to get the victory by making Kirchner tap out to the Camel Clutch.
Big John Studd & King Kong Bundy vs Andre The Giant & The Junkyard Dog
You wanna talk about a physical tag team match. Bundy & Studd are a formidable tag team and recently just teamed up in June of 1985 when King Kong Bundy left Jimmy Hart to join the Heenan Family in exchange for Adrian Adonis. After a brutal attack from Studd & Bundy against Andre. The Junkyard Dog makes the save for Andre and a tag team match is issued at Summerslam. As big as strong as Andre is, he & JYD cannot stop the newly powerful team of Big John Studd & King Kong Bundy.
The Killer Bees vs The Hart Foundation
Another Tag Team Match as well as we see The Hart Foundation take on The Killer Bees. This is a letdown match but with some good chemistry. The Hart Foundation get the victory over the Killer Bees.
WWF Intercontinental Championship Match: Tito Santana vs Ricky Steamboat
Face vs Face, that never happened in the 80's, but it's happening in my timeline, Steamboat is the #1 Contender for the Intercontinental Title and Santana is happy that he gets to face a credible challenger in Ricky Steamboat. This is a very good competitive match and even makes it to the 1985 Match of the Year. Santana wins in a backslide counter after a 15-20 minute match. After the Match. Both men shake hands.
WWF Championship Match: Hulk Hogan vs Roddy Piper
Hogan wants revenge for WrestleMania 1 as he challenges Piper for the WWF Title at Summerslam. Jack Tunney announces that to ensure for no interference. He will call in Mr. T as the special guest referee. Piper of course is angry about this, but he has no alternative, he has to face Hulk Hogan for the WWF Championship. Like WrestleMania 1, this is a back and forth Summerslam Classic. Hogan gets his 2nd WWF Title Win with help from Mr. T as Piper shoves Mr. T but Mr. T shoves Piper back allowing Hogan to come back and win the match.
Survivor Series - November 24, 1985 - Rosemont, Illinois (Screw the Wrestling Challenge)
Like WrestleMania & Summerslam, Survivor Series is another PPV that will also be added.
10-Man Tag Team Elimination Match: Tito Santana, Ricky Steamboat, The Junkyard Dog, George Steele & Corporal Kirchner vs Randy Savage, Adrian Adonis, The Missing Link, Terry Funk & The Iron Sheik
A great way to have a great 10 Man Tag Elimination Match, you have interesting talent in Santana, Steamboat, JYD, Funk & Savage. The Missing Link is the first man to be eliminated by Ricky Steamboat, but Savage's team regains momentum again when George Steele is the first to be eliminated on Team Santana thanks to Terry Funk. Then Savage's team get the 4 on 3 advantage when Cpl. Kirschner is eliminated by Savage as well, And then the next to be eliminated is The Junkyard Dog by Terry Funk, but not only that. Funk gets counted out as he & JYD brawl to the outside. So it will be a 3 on 2 situation, Steamboat eventually eliminates Adonis and Santana eliminates The Iron Sheik, so it's a 2 on 1 situation for the Macho Man. The Macho Man will be counted out as he retreats from Santana & Steamboat. Santana & Steamboat are your sole survivors for the first inaugural 1985 Survivor Series Match.
5 On 5 Elimination Match: Wendi Richter, Velvet McIntyre, Gene Kirkland, Desiree Petersen, Linda Gonzalez vs Donna Christentello, Judy Martin, The Spider, The Fabulous Moolah & Leilani Kai
Yes this is a filler, I have to add the Women in there, nothing special about this match, The Fabulous Moolah ends up being the sole survivor by defeating Richter. She would go on to dress up as the Spider Lady at Madison Square Garden and we have the "Original New York Screwjob" like we did in real life.
6 on 6 Tag Team Elimination Match: Brutus Beefcake & Greg Valentine, The Hart Foundation, The Wild Samoans vs The Bulldogs, The Killer Bees, The U.S. Express
Brutus & Greg are the WWF Tag Team Champions so they captain the Hart Foundation & The Wild Samoans to take on The Bulldogs, The Killer Bees & The U.S. Express, This is similar to 1986 & 1987 in real life where if one person gets pinned, then the teams must return to the locker room. Sadly enough, the U.S. Express and The Killer Bees are immediately eliminated by the heel team, but The Bulldogs come back from the heel deficit and are able to survive the match.
10-Man Tag Team Elimination Match: Hulk Hogan, Andre The Giant, Hillbilly Jim, Paul Orndorff & Bruno Sammartino vs Roddy Piper, Bob Orton, Big John Studd, King Kong Bundy & Don Muraco.
And what an effective way to end the 1985 Survivor Series, As Hulk Hogan & Roddy Piper have a huge colossal team of partners. Hulk Hogan's partners is the 7-foot Andre The Giant, the loving hillibly Hillbilly Jim, Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff & former WWF Champion Bruno Sammartino while Roddy Piper's partners are Cowboy Bob, the dominant tag team of Big John Studd & King Kong Bundy & Don Muraco. The heel team get right off the gate with Bundy eliminating Hillbilly Jim and follows up with Piper eliminating Sammartino, so it's a 5 on 3 situation. Hogan's team somehow get back on the right track with Hogan eliminating Orton thanks to a leg drop and also getting a shocking elimination over Big John Studd. But Hogan's team's comeback does not last long as Andre gets counted out as King Kong Bundy shoves him into the ringpost. Hogan & Bundy eventually get theirselves countedout as they brawl to the back setting up their potential WrestleMania main event feud. So it's Orndorff vs Muraco & Piper. Orndorff gets the elimination over Muraco, and now it's down to Orndorff vs Piper. Orndorff gets the win by hitting not one, but two piledrivers over Piper. Hogan comes out to celebrate with Orndorff, Orndorff is the sole survivor of the Inaugural Survivor Series Main Event
1986 Royal Rumble - January 19, 1986 - Kansas City, MO
Randy Savage vs George Steele:
This is a way to kick off the 1986 Royal Rumble with a bang, Savage can wrestle Steele at the 1986 Royal Rumble. Only this time, you don't need to put the Intercontinental Championship on Savage just yet as Savage is eyeing the Intercontinental Title from Tito Santana, but we'll get to that later. The feud plays out in real life with Steele having eyes for Elizabeth, and of course Savage doesn't take it too kindly and he loses his mind. On an episode of Primetime Wrestling. Savage beats the hell out of Steele, setting up the match at the 1986 Royal Rumble, This match is similar to WrestleMania 2 and Savage ends up getting the win.
WWF Tag Team Titles: The Killer Bees vs Brutus Beefcake & Greg Valentine
The Tag Team Titles are decided at the 1986 Royal Rumble, The Killer Bees have a lot of momentum on ther side as they take on Brutus Beefcake & Greg Valentine, The Killer Bees are also best known for their illegal mask magic over Valentine & Beefcake, cause Beefcake & Valentine are possibly going to cheat to win, This is a back and forth tag team match, and as we talked about the mask magic. It happens, but Valentine & Beefcake catch it and retain the titles over The Killer Bees.
S.D. Jones vs Terry Funk
Poor SD Jones, he gets mauled by Terry Funk, but hey at least I didn't do the WrestleMania Burial when King Kong Bundy defeated him in 9 seconds. Jones gets a bit of offense but Funk is just too dominant and he's already made his debut, so he gets the win over S.D.
WWF Championship Match: Hulk Hogan vs Big John Studd
Of course the inaugural 1986 Royal Rumble wouldn't be complete without the WWF Title on the line. Hogan has faced Studd many times for the title before. Studd dominates the match completely over Hulkamania, but Hogan somehow makes his comeback and bodyslams Studd followed up with a leg drop to get the victory. After the match, King Kong Bundy comes out to attack Hogan similar to what he did at Saturday Night's Main Event. Studd holds Hogan down while Bundy just splashes Hogan to the mat.
Paul Orndorff wins the 30-Man Royal Rumble over Roddy Piper
This is a good classic 30-Man Royal Rumble Main Event, Steamboat and Muraco are the first two competitors in the match, But there are big heavy hitters like Big John Studd, King Kong Bundy, Andre The Giant, Junkyard Dog, the debuting Hercules, Randy Savage and others. Later in that match, Andre gets eliminated shockingly enough by King Kong Bundy rekindling their feud, and King Kong Bundy gets eliminated by a distracting Hulk Hogan after getting the most eliminations. The final 4 comes down to Bob Orton, Hillbilly Jim, Paul Orndorff & Roddy Piper. So here is the list of Entries and Eliminations.

WrestleMania 2 - April 6, 1986 - The Forum - Los Angeles, CA
There's going to be no switching events, WrestleMania 2 will be held in Los Angeles, CA as a single arena, you can keep celebrities like Elvira, Ozzy Osbourne, Tommy Lasorda and others and also some NFL guys as well.
WWF Intercontinental Championship Match: Tito Santana vs Randy Savage
Tito Santana has been the longest reigning Intercontinental Champion since he won it back from Greg Valentine, but Randy Savage has been targeting him and that title. Savage gets the win with help from crooked referee Danny Davis that will get him fired in the near future and Savage will regain his first Intercontinental Title.
Ricky Steamboat vs Don Muraco
Another hot match between Muraco & Steamboat, the beef began at the 1986 Royal Rumble when Steamboat eliminated Muraco only for Muraco to eliminate him. This beef gets settled with Steamboat winning the match and defeating Muraco.
Jake Roberts vs S.D. Jones
And again we bury S.D. Jones against the newer talent, cause the Snake Man is here. Roberts squashes Jones completely and puts the snake on him.
WWF Women's Championship Match: Fabulous Moolah vs Velvet Mcintyre
Keep the match the same.
Roddy Piper vs Mr. T
Don't use the boxing match, just do a one on one match where Piper doesn't get himself disqualified or anything like that. Mr. T gets the victory over Piper.
WWF Tag Team Championship Match: The Bulldogs vs The Dream Team
The Bulldogs have their feel good moment and win the Tag Team Titles, definitely keep the match the same.
William Refrigerator Perry, Jimbo Covert, Russ Francis & Bill Fralic, Andre The Giant & Hillbilly Jim vs Big John Studd, The Hart Foundation, Hercules, The Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff.
Instead of a battle royal, I decided to use a 6 on 6 Tag Team Match with the heels talking trash to the NFL players saying that they play like girls. Andre, Hillbilly and the NFL Team get the win with Andre pinning Bret to get the victory.
Paul Orndorff vs Adrian Adonis
I think Orndorff & Adonis would've had a WrestleMania worthy match I feel. Orndorff & Adonis have a good back and forth battle with Orndorff getting the win.
No Disqualifaction Match:
Terry Funk vs The Junkyard Dog
Funk & JYD's feud needs to come to a head that it will be decided in a No Disqualifaction Match. Funk will use his branding iron while JYD will use his chain, it's a gruesome bloody battle that goes 15-20 minutes, but in the end it's JYD that bloodies Funk with a steel chain to get the victory and ending this feud once and for all.
WWF Championship Steel Cage Match:
Hulk Hogan vs King Kong Bundy
Let's keep the match the same.
WWF SUMMERSLAM - August 31, 1986 - Toronto, CN (Exhibition Stadium)
The Second Annual Summerslam will be held at the Exhibition Stadium
King Harley Race vs King Tonga
We kick off the Second Summerslam with King Race & King Tonga arguing about who is the real king of the WWF. The veteran and the legend Race gets the win over a young & game Tonga.
WWF Tag Team Titles: The Moondogs vs The British Bulldogs
I'd imagine What a Tag Team Match would be between The Moondogs and The British Bulldogs. Now I can find out in this rebooking. Although this is an intense and brutal Tag Team Match. The Bulldogs will pick up the victory and get the Canadian Crowd going.
Snake Pit Match
Ricky Steamboat vs Jake Roberts
We're not even going to have these two fight at Saturday Night's Main Event, Infact, let's put it in the second Summerslam. Steamboat & Roberts have the snake pit match and Steamboat will get the win after what Roberts did to him at Saturday's Night Main Event and Steamboat will unleash his pet snake on him.
Don Muraco vs Roddy Piper
After WrestleMania 2. Piper took a hiatus but what he didn't realize was Adrian Adonis took over Piper's Pit and Bob Orton was now on the side of Adrian Adonis, Piper would return as a face explaining and demanding answers, on a Primetime Wrestling Episode, Adonis, Orton and Muraco all attacked Piper at the Flower Shop. Piper destroyed the Flower Shop in a fit of rage and vowed redemption. Piper & Muraco have a very good match with Piper getting the win in his first WWF Face Run.
WWF Women's Championship: Velvet McIntyre vs Leilani Kai
I have to add a Women's Title Match at Summerslam. It's not a good match by all means, but McIntyre retains the Women's Championship:
The Hart Foundation vs Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff
Although this is a heel vs heel match. The Hart Foundation get a lot of cheers in Canada and they are the babyfaces in Canada. The Hart Foundation will get the win after getting a massive pop, but when they return to America they will become heels again.
Kamala vs George Steele
Here we have a hard hitting contest between Kamala & George Steele, and both of these dudes are weird and creepy. But in the end, Kamala is dominant and defeats Steele.
Big John Studd & King Kong Bundy vs The Machines
Allright everyone remembers Andre The Giant was suspended in real life and the Machines happened. So i'm going to pretend this feud never existed and give the win to Studd & Bundy and give a way for Andre to come back and repackage himself.
WWF Intercontinental Championship: Randy Savage vs Junkyard Dog
Now this is a match I would've loved to see in 1986, I know they did one match at the Wrestling Classic, but this match is for the Intercontinental Title. Savage & JYD put on another solid good action paced match. But in the end, Savage gets the win by ramming JYD's head into the exposed turnbuckle and hits the elbow drop to get the victory.
Billy Jack Haynes & Hillbilly Jim vs The Dream Team
An odd team in Billy Jack Haynes & Hillbilly Jim taking on the Dream Team, the crowd are waiting for the main event, that they don't even care about the match. The Dream Team will get the victory over Haynes & Jim.
WWF Championship Match: Hulk Hogan (champion) vs Paul Orndorff
The match comes about when Orndorff uses his heel turn on Hogan and joins the Heenan Family that he will challenge Hogan for the title. Orndorff of course uses the Real American theme. This is a very good solid main event for the Canadian Fans, the fans are into it. But a ref bump happens and the rest of the Heenan Family comes out, but Super Hogan is able to fight them off one by one. But however Heenan slips Orndorff some brass knucks and Orndorff nails Hogan in the face with it. Heenan wakes the referee up. Orndorff throws the evidence away. Orndorff pins Hogan, 1. 2. 3. The crowd is pissed. Hogan gets screwed out of the WWF Championship for the second time. Hogan, who at one time thought he was friends with the man comes to and sees the man that he thought he was friends with has Hulk Hogan's Championship Belt. People are angry that they throw trash in Orndorff's face to end Summerslam.
SURVIVOR SERIES - November 23, 1986 - Salt Lake City, UT
5 on 5 Elimination Match: Team Savage (Randy Savage, Jake Roberts, Don Muraco, Bob Orton & Sika) vs Team Steamboat (Ricky Steamboat, Tito Santana, Koko B. Ware, Billy Jack Haynes & George Steele)
Last Year, Savage, Steamboat & Santana were in the opening match and once again they are a part of the opening match. Randy's Team consists of Jake Roberts, Don Muraco, Bob Orton & Butch Reed while Ricky Steamboat's team has Tito Santana, Koko B. Ware, Billy Jack Haynes & George Steele. There's a lo of animosity with Savage feuding with both Tito Santana & George Steele and the intense rivalry between Roberts & Steamboat. Steamboat's Team draws first blood with Santana eliminating Sika and Steamboat eliminating Orton, but the 5 on 3 momentum gets swept away with Roberts eliminating George Steele thanks to a DDT and Savage eliminating Koko B. Ware with an elbow off the top. Haynes eliminates Muraco, but he gets eliminated by Roberts. Savage & Roberts vs Steamboat & Santana. Savage & Roberts show some good tag team offensiveness and that has Savage eliminate Santana thanks to an elbow drop. Savage & Roberts team up against Steamboat but a miscommunication with Savage accidentally hitting Roberts causes Roberts to walk out of the match, it is now a one on one battle between Savage & Steamboat. Savage tries to eliminate Steamboat, but Steamboat rolls Savage up from behind to get the victory, after the contest though. Steamboat gets attacked by Savage and similar to the same rivalry angle between the two. Savage crushes Steamboat's larynx. Steamboat's team come down to chase Savage off but the damage is done.
8 on 8 Elimination Match: Team Hart Foundation (Bret Hart, Jim Neidhart, Nikolai Volkoff, Iron Sheik, Moondog Rex, Moondog Spot, The Dream Team vs Team Bulldogs (British Bulldog, Dynamite Kid, Rick Martel, Tom Zenk, The Killer Bees & The Rougeau Brothers)
The Second Survivor Series Elimination Match is also a good match cause you have a great talented tag teams, The Bulldogs start the elimination off first when the Moondogs are the first to be eliminated by the Rougeau Brothers, But the Rougeaus are the next to be followed by the Hart Foundation making it even again, the new team Martel & Zenk eliminate Beefcake & Valentine after miscommunication, but Martel & Zenk will be eliminated by The Hart Foundation, The Killer Bees will be eliminated by The Sheik & Volkoff, but The Bulldogs eliminate them leading to a 2 on 2 between The Bulldogs and The Hart Foundation and The Hart Foundation win by use of cheating thanks to their manager Jimmy Hart.
Honky Tonk Man vs Jim Powers
This is Honky Tonk Man's first WWF Debut as he is managed by Jimmy Hart. This is indeed a total squash. Powers gets some offense in but he is beaten easily by The Honky Tonk Man.
7 on 7 Elimination Match: Team Hogan (Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper, Hillbilly Jim, Junkyard Dog, Haku, Tama & Andre The Giant vs Team Orndorff (Paul Orndorff, Adrian Adonis, King Harley Race, Kamala, Hercules, Big John Studd & King Kong Bundy)
The biggest main event in the 1986 Survivor Series History as Team Hogan takes on Team Orndorff, for weeks. Hogan announced his partners, but said there would be a mystery partner and that he would arrive at the PPV. And it would be Andre The Giant who was dressed in a black singlet. Despite this, Team Orndorff gets to a great start when Bundy eliminates Haku following the avalanche and splash. Tama is the next to follow after Kamala superkicks him, but it goes to a 6 on 5 for Team Hogan when Hogan hits Kamala with a leg drop and then Andre eliminates Hercules, but King Harley Race will get the next elimination by eliminating The Junkyard Dog, and Hillbilly Jim is the next to be eliminated by Paul Orndorff. Piper and Adonis will fight and get counted out. So it will come down to Bundy, Studd & Orndorff vs Hogan & Andre. Studd & Bundy have a miscommunication with one another. Hogan will hit Studd with a clothesline followed by a leg drop and then he will eliminate Bundy with a bodyslam and a leg drop and it will be a 2 on 1, Orndorff vs Hogan & Andre. Orndorff is all alone, he tries begging off but can't do it. Orndorff gets eliminated as Andre & Hogan hit a double big boot on Orndorff and Hogan drops the leg on Orndorff to get the victory. Andre seems a bit annoyed of Hogan posing to the fans that teases a WrestleMania III Match in the future, but at the start of 1987. Hogan wins back the WWF Title over Orndorff in a Steel Cage Match at Saturday Night's Main Event and Andre defeats King Kong Bundy to end the feud between Andre & Bundy.
1987 ROYAL RUMBLE - Detroit, MI - Joe Louis Arena - January 25, 1987
The Dream Team vs Cam-Am Connection
A way to kick off the 1987 Royal Rumble in a tag team match with The Dream Team taking on Cam-Am Connection, The Dream Team has had issues lately since late 1986 and they need to get a win here. Of course problems brew with the Dream Team again in the end of the match when another miscommunication by Valentine & Beefcake happens and that allows Martel to get the missile dropkick off the top over Valentine to get the win.
WWF Intercontinental Title: Randy Savage vs George Steele
This happened last year at the Royal Rumble, only it was a singles match, but this feud is still continuing cause of George Steele still having eyes for Miss Elizabeth, This is a little 3-5 minute match. Steele gets a little offense in against Savage but unfortunately he fails to regain the Intercontinental Title over Savage.
WWF Tag Team Titles: The Hart Foundation vs The British Bulldogs
The Harts and The Bulldogs have been battling on since WrestleMania 1. And now that The Bulldogs are the champs. The Hart Foundation and The Bulldogs battle for the 1987 Royal Rumble for the Tag Team Titles. The match is as the same of Saturday Night's Main Event when referee Danny Davis helps out the Hart Foundation win the WWF Tag Team Championship and that gets Danny Davis suspended for "life".
WWF Championship: Hulk Hogan vs Kamala
This will be Hogan's toughest test as he already defeated Paul Orndorff in a Steel Cage Match in the first of 1987 at Saturday Night's Main Event. After Hogan celebrated his title victory. Kamala came out on Superstars of Wrestling to have a face to face confrontation with Kamala attacking him from behind and beating him down, Hogan somehow successfully survives another title defense by slamming him and hitting a leg drop on the Ugandan Giant to retain the title.
Andre The Giant wins the 30-Man Royal Rumble
This is a better way to have Andre The Giant win the second Royal Rumble Match cause he is considered the king of the Battle Royals and he needs to win the match if he wants the storyline with Hogan to be elevated further. The first 2 entrants in the Rumble are Iron Sheik & Hillbilly Jim. There are rivalries and potential storylines happening too at the Rumble as we have Piper & Adonis, Ricky Steamboat will be the surprise entrant to have unfinished business with Randy Savage. Jake Roberts has recently turned face and he wants to get his hands on Honky Tonk Man, The Brutus/Valentine thing is going to implode soon enough and it does with Beefcake eliminating Valentine turning Beefcake into a face officially, Piper & Adonis eliminate each other, we have the final 4 of the match. Andre The Giant, King Kong Bundy, Hercules & Paul Orndorff so it's basically a 3 on 1 but Andre fights back and eliminates Orndorff & Hercules and then Bundy in the final 2. Afterwards, Hulk Hogan comes out to celebrate with Andre but Andre is clearly visibly annoyed that Hogan is once again hot-dogging the spotlight. Andre walks out and that leads to Andre returning with Bobby Heenan on February 7, 1987 and challenging Hogan for the Championship at WrestleMania 3. Hogan refuses, but Andre tears the cross off of Hogan's neck that Hogan says "yes" the next week.

WrestleMania 3 - March 29, 1987 - Pontiac Silverdome - Detroit, Michigan
Brutus Beefcake vs Greg Valentine
We kick off WrestleMania 3 with the Dream Team imploding. It all started after they lost the gold at WrestleMania 2 last year and they've had problems in late 1986, until it went south at the 1987 Royal Rumble when Brutus Beefcake finally had enough after Valentine had eliminated him turning Beefcake into a face. Beefcake gets the win by making Valentine tap out to the sleeper hold to get the victory.
King Kong Bundy vs Big John Studd
The reason I still have Big John Studd in my rebooking 1985-1989 PPV is because he and Bundy were all set to have a feud because they were having problems as a tag team, and on January 3, 1987 after Bundy's match with Andre The Giant thanks to an accident by Big John Studd. The two monsters collided ending their partnership for good. Heenan's on the side of King Kong Bundy cause Big John Studd is a babyface and Studd has already fired Heenan. Studd wants to stop Bundy's dominance while Bundy wants to keep continuing to stay in the main event spot. And although it's a monsterous match with the two heavy hitters refusing to go down. Bundy gets taken off his feet eventually but as Studd sets him up for the bearhug. Bundy's weight collides on Studd and that allows Bundy to get the victory over Studd. Studd will leave the WWF until Late 1988, I won't bring Studd in December, I'll probably bring Studd maybe in October or November.
Battle Royal:
Hercules vs Billy Jack Haynes vs Rick Martel vs Tom Zenk vs Don Muraco vs Paul Orndorff vs Koko B. Ware vs Outback Jack vs Blackjack Mulligan vs Jim Powers vs Paul Roma vs Butch Reed vs Cowboy "Bob Orton" vs Nikolai Volkoff vs Hillbilly Jim vs Sika vs Kamala vs The Killer Bees vs Pedro Morales
Some of these people like Orndorff, Kamala, Sika and others were not a part of WrestleMania so I figured why not put them all in there, The Battle Royal Victory will go to Hercules by last eliminating Hillbilly Jim to establish his dominance as a main event competitor.
Junkyard Dog vs Harley Race
Nothing I wouldn't change here
Tito Santana vs Danny Davis
This is redemption for Tito Santana as he looks to get revenge on the man who cost him the Intercontinental Championship last year. Davis although he shows off some impressive moves still is no match for the former 2-time Intercontinental Champion as he puts Davis away for good, ARRIBA!.
Roddy Piper vs Adrian Adonis
Again, I'm not going to change what happened in real life, but what I will change after is yes Piper will retire to feature "They Live" And Piper will probably come back by late 1988 or early 1989. As for Adonis, I will keep him for a while because he cut some of Brutus Beefcake's hair in a one on one match. Beefcake comes in and helps Piper shave Adonis's head. Adonis will stay around and feud with Brutus Beefcake in the Summer in my next PPV story for 1987.
Jim Duggan vs Iron Sheik
In Early February, Jim Duggan made his debut to prevent Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff from singing the Russian Anthem. Duggan debuts and defends the United States of America from The Sheik & Volkoff that Duggan's first WWF Match is made for WrestleMania 3 against the Iron Sheik. Duggan and The Sheik put on a good match although it's Duggan's debut but in the end it's Duggan that wins the match.
WWF Intercontinental Championship: Ricky Steamboat vs Randy Savage
Come on do you guys seriously think I am going to change this match?, no way. This was without a doubt the best WrestleMania Match of all time for the Intercontinental Title.
WWF Tag Team Titles 2 Out Of 3 Falls: The Hart Foundation vs The British Bulldogs
At the Royal Rumble in 1987, The Hart Foundation won the Tag Team Titles over The British Bulldogs, so The Bulldogs will get a rematch against The Hart Foundation, In the first fall. The Hart Foundation take the first fall, but in the second fall, The Bulldogs will get the second fall, and the third fall will stay on for 10 minutes, but in the end. The Hart Foundation will retain the Tag Team Titles over The Bulldogs by cheating again.

This is Demolition's first PPV Debut as they take on the Rougeau Brothers in a great tag team match, Demolition get the victory in their WrestleMania debut over the Rougeau Brothers.

Of course keep the match the same, The Bodyslam heard round the world. I cannot take that away and also Hogan defeating Andre to retain the WWF Championship and ending Andre's undefeated streak. Andre will take time off to heal and Hogan will keep on defending the title against all comers.
WWF SUMMERSLAM - August 16, 1987 - Spectrum - Philadelphia, PA

I kept Adrian Adonis in for reasons cause I wanted him to end his feud with Brutus Beefcake. This is redemption for what happened at WrestleMania, but unfortunately Adonis fails to get his redemption as Beefcake wins the match and Adonis leaves the WWF.
One Man Gang vs S.D. Jones
Poor S.D. Jones gets squashed by the One Man Gang, he just never gets out of the starting gate.
Rick Rude vs Paul Orndorff
In May of 1987, Rick Rude debuted for the WWF for the Heenan Family, and Paul Orndorff is jealous that he fires Bobby Heenan and turns face and joins up with Oliver Humperdink. This is a great match in Rude's career and he picks up a massive victory over the former WWF Champion.
Billy Jack Haynes vs Outlaw Ron Bass
This is an okay contest between these two and it's a back and forth contest, but Bass will pick up the victory.
Demolition vs The Cam-Am Connection
The Cam Am Connection have been on an impressive roll as they take on Demolition. It's a great tag team match, but in the end Demolition continue their domination over the Cam-Am Connection.
WWF Intercontinental Championship Triple Threat Match: Randy Savage vs Ricky Steamboat vs Honky Tonk Man
After winning the title at WrestleMania 3 against Randy Savage.

Steamboat wants to retain the title cause he is a fighting champion. This is a great 15-20 minute battle. But it's Steamboat that retains the title by pinning Savage, not the Honky Tonk Man. The Honky Tonk Man will get a match with Steamboat in September and he will regain the Intercontinental Championship.

Don Muraco vs Bob Orton
In the Spring of 1987, Muraco & Orton had problems as a tag team splitting them up for good turning Muraco face and also Muraco will have Superstar Billy Graham in his corner. Muraco gets the win over Orton, nothing special.
Tag Team Match
Jim Duggan & Ken Patera vs Hercules & King Kong Bundy
Now picture an odd pairing with Duggan & Patera taking on Hercules & King Kong Bundy, in April. Patera returned to the WWF after he was arrested in 1985. Duggan stays in the WWF, Iron Sheik is still released, he and Duggan will still be arrested for Marijuana but Duggan will receive a lesser punishment. After a beatdown by Hercules & Bundy on Patera at Superstars of Wrestling. Jim Duggan makes the save with his 2X4 chasing Hercules & Bundy off setting a Tag Team Match between these four at Summerslam, Duggan & Patera win the match after Duggan hits Bundy with the 2X4 behind the referee's back and allows Patera to nail Bundy with a powerslam to get the victory.
Ted Dibiase vs Koko B. Ware
It's The Million Dollar Man's PPV Debut against Koko B. Ware, Dibiase has been borderline treating fans for the last few months since his debut. Koko just wants to shut Dibiase's mouth for his mistreatment to the fans. But he fails to do so. Dibiase makes Koko submit to the Million Dollar Dream.

After his huge title defense against Andre at WrestleMania 3. The Hulkster moves on to the next challenger which is King Harley Race. Harley Race is announced the #1 Contender after attacking Hogan at Superstars of Wrestling and bloodying him up with the title belt. Heenan says that he wants Hogan to be embarassed like Hogan embarassed Andre at WrestleMania 3. Hogan says that he's going to take down the King. This is a bloody and brutal 20-25 minute match although it's not very Attitude Era'ish. It is still an intense championship match. But the end comes with Hogan getting the win after powerslamming Race through a table and leg dropping him winning the match. After the match, Andre The Giant makes his return to stare down Hogan setting up another feud between the two.
WWF SURVIVOR SERIES - RICHFIELD COLISEUM - Richfield, OH - November 26, 1987
Team Duggan (Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Don Muraco, George Steele & The Bulldogs) vs Team Race (King Harley Race, Cowboy "Bob Orton", Dino Bravo & The Islanders)
A nice 10-Man Tag Team Elimination Match to kick off the third annual Survivor Series as there is animosity between Jim Duggan & Harley Race, The Bulldogs & The Islanders with the Islanders taking the Bulldogs's pet mascot, and Muraco also feuding with Bob Orton and Dino Bravo and George Steele feuding as well. Team Duggan gets to a great start with Duggan first eliminating Bob Orton sending him out of the WWF. It's now a 5 on 4. And it stays 5 on 4, but the Bulldogs and the Islanders start to brawl with one another that they get theirselves counted out. So it's 3 on 2 as Bravo & Race take on Muraco, Steele & Duggan. Muraco eliminates Bravo with a running powerslam and it's down to Race vs Duggan, Muraco *& Steele. Race has nowhere to go as Hacksaw, Steele & Muraco go all over him with Muraco, Dog & Hacksaw being the sole survivors.

And the Megapowers are born, but Savage wants another shot against The Honky Tonk Man for the Intercontinental Title, and he will get it at the Survivor Series. And as everyone knows, it's the first time the Intercontinental Title is defended at the Survivor Series. Savage will become the fourth ever two-time WWF Intercontinental Champion.

Team Dibiase (Ted Dibiase, Greg Valentine, The Hart Foundation & Nikolai Volkoff vs Team Roberts (Jake Roberts, Brutus Beefcake, The Rougeau Brothers & Ricky Steamboat
Jake Roberts wants to shut Ted Dibiase's mouth and also wants to put his pet snake in his mouth to shut him up, this rivalry came about when Dibiase was making fun of Jake Roberts taking a pet snake with him everytime to the ring and that he would have Roberts buy his snake so he could take it to a petting zoo. Roberts refused and that sets up a feud between Roberts & Dibiase. Team Dibiase draws blood first with Dibiase eliminating Jacques, but Team Roberts will battle back with Roberts eliminating Volkoff and it goes to a 4 on 4.

So it's almost a mismatch, but these are the 10 giantest superstars in WWF History. Team Hogan gets off to a great start with Hogan eliminating Kamala after a powerslam and a leg drop. But Andre's team take back control with Gang eliminating Hillbilly Jim making it a 4 on 4. Gang wracks up another elimination by eliminating JYD.

"Macho Man" Randy Savage wins the 30-Man Royal Rumble
Another great Royal Rumble Match with alot of ramifications, this time in the rebooking, Randy Savage will have the Royal Rumble Win. In real life. Duggan's win was good cause it was the Inaugural Royal Rumble, but this is the Third Royal Rumble Match in my rebooking and with the year Randy Savage had in 1987 as 2-time Intercontinental Champion, he deserves the win. the WWF Champion Ted Dibiase will be in this match meaning that the first time that the WWF Champion will be in the 30-Man Royal Rumble Match.

Andre has been the same after Andre had lost to Hogan at WrestleMania, Tunney announces that both men will face off in a No Disqualifaction Match at WrestleMania 4. No Rules & No Excuses. In the weeks before WrestleMania, Hogan injures Harley Race to send a message to Andre The Giant while Andre does the same to Hillbilly Jim. It's a gruesome battle between these two.

At WrestleMania 4, Rick Martel turned on Tito Santana after the duo lost the Tag Team Titles, and Martel simply became Rick "The Model" Martel, so this match kicks off first at Madison Square Garden, this match goes a good solid 8-10 minutes but Martel will get the win after he uses the arrogance to spray Santana behind the referee's back.
Big Bossman vs Ken Patera
This is The Big Bossman's PPV Debut as he takes on the Olympian Ken Patera. Bossman is of course managed by Slick.

Demolition retain the tag titles over The Bulldogs.

I'm not using the spurs incident, no can do on that. But I will let these two have their first feud. This is a catch as catch can match. Both men will be counted out after brawling on the floor.
Junkyard Dog & Koko B. Ware vs Honky Tonk Man & Greg Valentine
Junkyard Dog's time was up in the WWF so why not let him team up with Koko B. Ware to take on the new tandem of Rhythm & Blues. This is a subpar tag team match, but the new duo of Valentine & Honky Tonk Man will get the victory over Koko B. Ware & JYD.
Steel Cage Match:
Hulk Hogan vs Andre The Giant
Finally, the feud will come to a head as Andre The Giant & Hulk Hogan will wrestle one final time, but this time inside of a 15-foot Steel Cage.

After, Andre gets out of the door to bring Hogan into the ring with Andre destroying Hogan at every turn. Hogan tries fighting back but Andre just powers his comeback. Hogan eventually will fight back by hitting a clothesline off the top of the cage knocking down Andre. Hogan then bodyslams him to the mat and hits him with the leg drop and escapes the cage to win the match and end the rivalry once and for all.
WWF Championship Match: (Jesse Ventura as the Special Guest Referee)
Randy Savage vs Ted Dibiase
This is Dibiase's rematch from WrestleMania 4, Jesse Ventura will referee the match to make sure that there is no interference. Dibiase tries bribing Ventura money in the weeks to come but although Ventura is a "heel commentator", he refuses the money. He vows to call it down the middle. Savage & Dibiase fight for a total of 15 to 20 minutes, Ventura is a byest referee and he does a good job with Savage retaining the title over Dibiase, but after the match. Familiar Music plays and we hear a "WOOOO" break the loudspeakers and it's RIC FLAIR!.

Team Roberts (Jake The Snake Roberts, Shawn Michaels, Marty Jannetty, Hacksaw "Jim Duggan" & Owen Hart) vs Team Rude (Rick Rude, Boris Zukhov, Nikolai Volkoff, Dino Bravo & Terry Taylor.
Roberts wants to end this feud with Rude once and for all, so he adds tag team partners in The Rockers, Hacksaw "Jim Duggan" & Owen Hart while Rick Rude has Boris Zukhov, Nikolai Volkoff, Dino Bravo & Terry Taylor, I'm not doing the Red Rooster thing and the Blue Blazer thing either. Roberts's team gets off to a good start with Roberts eliminating Zukhov with a DDT making it 5 on 4.

Volkoff will be eliminated via double superkick by The Rockers. Rude's team is not doing so well at the moment, Rude & Bravo fight off the 5 on 2 situation with Bravo eliminating Jannetty, Rude then eliminates Owen & Duggan at the same time, So It's Roberts & Michaels vs Rude & Bravo. Michaels surprisingly eliminates Bravo, and it's down to a 2 on 1. But Rude will eliminate Michaels and it goes to a 1 on 1 between Roberts & Rude. Roberts wins the match for his team ending the feud with Rude once and for all.

But Bossman will get himself disqualified by attacking Hogan with a nightstick and that will allow Flair to eliminate Hogan after leading to Flair vs Savage. Savage tries to get Flair back in the ring after brawling for 10-15 minutes but Flair uses a foreign object (brass knucks) behind the referee's back to eliminate Savage. After the match, Flair's team attacks Savage but Savage's team run in to make the save and Savage & Hogan pose to send the crowd home happy but Hogan carries Elizabeth in his arms while Savage sees it and senses jealousy.

WWF ROYAL RUMBLE - January 15, 1989 - The Summit - Houston, TX
WWF Tag Team Titles: Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard vs The Bulldogs
We kick off the Royal Rumble with Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard taking on The Bulldogs for the Tag Team Titles. The reason i'm keeping The Bulldogs is because I've decided to let them stay for a while, I'm going to release the Dynamite Kid and let British Bulldog stay on as a singles solo competitor, because after that match. Dynamite Kid will request his release and let the British Bulldog be a singles competitor, McMahon will approve of it, so this is The Bulldogs's last hurrah but can they capture the Tag Team Titles, the answer is no.

A great tag team match here showcasing The Bushwhackers's PPV Debut, and with that. The Bushwhackers pick up the victory.
WWF Championship Match: Randy Savage vs Hulk Hogan
I know people will criticize me for this booking, but Savage vs Hogan at WrestleMania 5 was great, I needed Savage to take on Hogan at the Royal Rumble, the jealousy with the Megapowers and Elizabeth has Savage over the edge that he challenges Hogan to a title match. Hogan reluctanly accepts. This is a good match between the two. Hogan almost gets the win by hitting the big boot/leg drop combination but Savage kicks out for the first time of Hogan's leg drop. Hogan goes for the leg drop again on Savage but Savage rolls out of the way and hits 2 axe handles off the top rope followed up by his signature elbow to get the victory, cleanly winning over Hogan. After the Match. Savage & Hogan shake hands, Savage will stay a face.

WWF Intercontinental Title: Tito Santana vs Greg Valentine w/Jimmy Hart
Tito Santana will face Greg Valentine in my rebooking for the Intercontinental Title. Valentine & Santana have another great classic battle in the next to last match. But in the end, Santana captures the Intercontinental Title in a feel good WrestleMania Moment:
WWF Title: Hulk Hogan w/Mr. T vs Roddy Piper w/Paul Orndorff
I won't do the tag team match because the WWF Championship was never defended at WrestleMania 1. Hogan and Piper put on one of the classic WrestleMania main events of all time. But when Hogan begins to suplex Piper back in the ring. Bob Orton comes out to grab the legs of Hulk Hogan and Piper pulls down on Hogan to get the win and regain his first WWF Title to send the New York Crowd into a frenzy and even a riot.
Summerslam 1985 - Boston Garden - Boston, MA - August 25, 1985

The rematch from WrestleMania I. But Wendi Richter will retain the Women's Title again over Leilani Kai.
Randy Savage vs Pedro Morales
OOOH YEAH!. The Macho Man makes his Summerslam Debut as he takes on former WWE Champion & former WWE Intercontinental Champion Pedro Morales. Of course Savage has the lovely Miss Elizabeth in his corner. Morales is a veteran, but even the Young Guns have to take down the Veterans and Savage exactly does just that.
Corporal Kirchner vs The Iron Sheik
USA vs Persian. Corporal Kirchner wants to end the hate that Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff have towards the United States of America, but unfortunately The Iron Sheik is able to get the victory by making Kirchner tap out to the Camel Clutch.
Big John Studd & King Kong Bundy vs Andre The Giant & The Junkyard Dog
You wanna talk about a physical tag team match. Bundy & Studd are a formidable tag team and recently just teamed up in June of 1985 when King Kong Bundy left Jimmy Hart to join the Heenan Family in exchange for Adrian Adonis. After a brutal attack from Studd & Bundy against Andre. The Junkyard Dog makes the save for Andre and a tag team match is issued at Summerslam. As big as strong as Andre is, he & JYD cannot stop the newly powerful team of Big John Studd & King Kong Bundy.
The Killer Bees vs The Hart Foundation
Another Tag Team Match as well as we see The Hart Foundation take on The Killer Bees. This is a letdown match but with some good chemistry. The Hart Foundation get the victory over the Killer Bees.
WWF Intercontinental Championship Match: Tito Santana vs Ricky Steamboat
Face vs Face, that never happened in the 80's, but it's happening in my timeline, Steamboat is the #1 Contender for the Intercontinental Title and Santana is happy that he gets to face a credible challenger in Ricky Steamboat. This is a very good competitive match and even makes it to the 1985 Match of the Year. Santana wins in a backslide counter after a 15-20 minute match. After the Match. Both men shake hands.
WWF Championship Match: Hulk Hogan vs Roddy Piper
Hogan wants revenge for WrestleMania 1 as he challenges Piper for the WWF Title at Summerslam. Jack Tunney announces that to ensure for no interference. He will call in Mr. T as the special guest referee. Piper of course is angry about this, but he has no alternative, he has to face Hulk Hogan for the WWF Championship. Like WrestleMania 1, this is a back and forth Summerslam Classic. Hogan gets his 2nd WWF Title Win with help from Mr. T as Piper shoves Mr. T but Mr. T shoves Piper back allowing Hogan to come back and win the match.
Survivor Series - November 24, 1985 - Rosemont, Illinois (Screw the Wrestling Challenge)
Like WrestleMania & Summerslam, Survivor Series is another PPV that will also be added.
10-Man Tag Team Elimination Match: Tito Santana, Ricky Steamboat, The Junkyard Dog, George Steele & Corporal Kirchner vs Randy Savage, Adrian Adonis, The Missing Link, Terry Funk & The Iron Sheik
A great way to have a great 10 Man Tag Elimination Match, you have interesting talent in Santana, Steamboat, JYD, Funk & Savage. The Missing Link is the first man to be eliminated by Ricky Steamboat, but Savage's team regains momentum again when George Steele is the first to be eliminated on Team Santana thanks to Terry Funk. Then Savage's team get the 4 on 3 advantage when Cpl. Kirschner is eliminated by Savage as well, And then the next to be eliminated is The Junkyard Dog by Terry Funk, but not only that. Funk gets counted out as he & JYD brawl to the outside. So it will be a 3 on 2 situation, Steamboat eventually eliminates Adonis and Santana eliminates The Iron Sheik, so it's a 2 on 1 situation for the Macho Man. The Macho Man will be counted out as he retreats from Santana & Steamboat. Santana & Steamboat are your sole survivors for the first inaugural 1985 Survivor Series Match.
5 On 5 Elimination Match: Wendi Richter, Velvet McIntyre, Gene Kirkland, Desiree Petersen, Linda Gonzalez vs Donna Christentello, Judy Martin, The Spider, The Fabulous Moolah & Leilani Kai
Yes this is a filler, I have to add the Women in there, nothing special about this match, The Fabulous Moolah ends up being the sole survivor by defeating Richter. She would go on to dress up as the Spider Lady at Madison Square Garden and we have the "Original New York Screwjob" like we did in real life.
6 on 6 Tag Team Elimination Match: Brutus Beefcake & Greg Valentine, The Hart Foundation, The Wild Samoans vs The Bulldogs, The Killer Bees, The U.S. Express
Brutus & Greg are the WWF Tag Team Champions so they captain the Hart Foundation & The Wild Samoans to take on The Bulldogs, The Killer Bees & The U.S. Express, This is similar to 1986 & 1987 in real life where if one person gets pinned, then the teams must return to the locker room. Sadly enough, the U.S. Express and The Killer Bees are immediately eliminated by the heel team, but The Bulldogs come back from the heel deficit and are able to survive the match.
10-Man Tag Team Elimination Match: Hulk Hogan, Andre The Giant, Hillbilly Jim, Paul Orndorff & Bruno Sammartino vs Roddy Piper, Bob Orton, Big John Studd, King Kong Bundy & Don Muraco.
And what an effective way to end the 1985 Survivor Series, As Hulk Hogan & Roddy Piper have a huge colossal team of partners. Hulk Hogan's partners is the 7-foot Andre The Giant, the loving hillibly Hillbilly Jim, Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff & former WWF Champion Bruno Sammartino while Roddy Piper's partners are Cowboy Bob, the dominant tag team of Big John Studd & King Kong Bundy & Don Muraco. The heel team get right off the gate with Bundy eliminating Hillbilly Jim and follows up with Piper eliminating Sammartino, so it's a 5 on 3 situation. Hogan's team somehow get back on the right track with Hogan eliminating Orton thanks to a leg drop and also getting a shocking elimination over Big John Studd. But Hogan's team's comeback does not last long as Andre gets counted out as King Kong Bundy shoves him into the ringpost. Hogan & Bundy eventually get theirselves countedout as they brawl to the back setting up their potential WrestleMania main event feud. So it's Orndorff vs Muraco & Piper. Orndorff gets the elimination over Muraco, and now it's down to Orndorff vs Piper. Orndorff gets the win by hitting not one, but two piledrivers over Piper. Hogan comes out to celebrate with Orndorff, Orndorff is the sole survivor of the Inaugural Survivor Series Main Event
1986 Royal Rumble - January 19, 1986 - Kansas City, MO
Randy Savage vs George Steele:
This is a way to kick off the 1986 Royal Rumble with a bang, Savage can wrestle Steele at the 1986 Royal Rumble. Only this time, you don't need to put the Intercontinental Championship on Savage just yet as Savage is eyeing the Intercontinental Title from Tito Santana, but we'll get to that later. The feud plays out in real life with Steele having eyes for Elizabeth, and of course Savage doesn't take it too kindly and he loses his mind. On an episode of Primetime Wrestling. Savage beats the hell out of Steele, setting up the match at the 1986 Royal Rumble, This match is similar to WrestleMania 2 and Savage ends up getting the win.
WWF Tag Team Titles: The Killer Bees vs Brutus Beefcake & Greg Valentine
The Tag Team Titles are decided at the 1986 Royal Rumble, The Killer Bees have a lot of momentum on ther side as they take on Brutus Beefcake & Greg Valentine, The Killer Bees are also best known for their illegal mask magic over Valentine & Beefcake, cause Beefcake & Valentine are possibly going to cheat to win, This is a back and forth tag team match, and as we talked about the mask magic. It happens, but Valentine & Beefcake catch it and retain the titles over The Killer Bees.
S.D. Jones vs Terry Funk
Poor SD Jones, he gets mauled by Terry Funk, but hey at least I didn't do the WrestleMania Burial when King Kong Bundy defeated him in 9 seconds. Jones gets a bit of offense but Funk is just too dominant and he's already made his debut, so he gets the win over S.D.
WWF Championship Match: Hulk Hogan vs Big John Studd
Of course the inaugural 1986 Royal Rumble wouldn't be complete without the WWF Title on the line. Hogan has faced Studd many times for the title before. Studd dominates the match completely over Hulkamania, but Hogan somehow makes his comeback and bodyslams Studd followed up with a leg drop to get the victory. After the match, King Kong Bundy comes out to attack Hogan similar to what he did at Saturday Night's Main Event. Studd holds Hogan down while Bundy just splashes Hogan to the mat.
Paul Orndorff wins the 30-Man Royal Rumble over Roddy Piper
This is a good classic 30-Man Royal Rumble Main Event, Steamboat and Muraco are the first two competitors in the match, But there are big heavy hitters like Big John Studd, King Kong Bundy, Andre The Giant, Junkyard Dog, the debuting Hercules, Randy Savage and others. Later in that match, Andre gets eliminated shockingly enough by King Kong Bundy rekindling their feud, and King Kong Bundy gets eliminated by a distracting Hulk Hogan after getting the most eliminations.

There's going to be no switching events, WrestleMania 2 will be held in Los Angeles, CA as a single arena, you can keep celebrities like Elvira, Ozzy Osbourne, Tommy Lasorda and others and also some NFL guys as well.
WWF Intercontinental Championship Match: Tito Santana vs Randy Savage
Tito Santana has been the longest reigning Intercontinental Champion since he won it back from Greg Valentine, but Randy Savage has been targeting him and that title. Savage gets the win with help from crooked referee Danny Davis that will get him fired in the near future and Savage will regain his first Intercontinental Title.
Ricky Steamboat vs Don Muraco
Another hot match between Muraco & Steamboat, the beef began at the 1986 Royal Rumble when Steamboat eliminated Muraco only for Muraco to eliminate him. This beef gets settled with Steamboat winning the match and defeating Muraco.
Jake Roberts vs S.D. Jones
And again we bury S.D. Jones against the newer talent, cause the Snake Man is here. Roberts squashes Jones completely and puts the snake on him.
WWF Women's Championship Match: Fabulous Moolah vs Velvet Mcintyre
Keep the match the same.
Roddy Piper vs Mr. T
Don't use the boxing match, just do a one on one match where Piper doesn't get himself disqualified or anything like that. Mr. T gets the victory over Piper.
WWF Tag Team Championship Match: The Bulldogs vs The Dream Team
The Bulldogs have their feel good moment and win the Tag Team Titles, definitely keep the match the same.
William Refrigerator Perry, Jimbo Covert, Russ Francis & Bill Fralic, Andre The Giant & Hillbilly Jim vs Big John Studd, The Hart Foundation, Hercules, The Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff.
Instead of a battle royal, I decided to use a 6 on 6 Tag Team Match with the heels talking trash to the NFL players saying that they play like girls. Andre, Hillbilly and the NFL Team get the win with Andre pinning Bret to get the victory.
Paul Orndorff vs Adrian Adonis
I think Orndorff & Adonis would've had a WrestleMania worthy match I feel. Orndorff & Adonis have a good back and forth battle with Orndorff getting the win.
No Disqualifaction Match:
Terry Funk vs The Junkyard Dog
Funk & JYD's feud needs to come to a head that it will be decided in a No Disqualifaction Match. Funk will use his branding iron while JYD will use his chain, it's a gruesome bloody battle that goes 15-20 minutes, but in the end it's JYD that bloodies Funk with a steel chain to get the victory and ending this feud once and for all.
WWF Championship Steel Cage Match:
Hulk Hogan vs King Kong Bundy
Let's keep the match the same.
WWF SUMMERSLAM - August 31, 1986 - Toronto, CN (Exhibition Stadium)
The Second Annual Summerslam will be held at the Exhibition Stadium
King Harley Race vs King Tonga
We kick off the Second Summerslam with King Race & King Tonga arguing about who is the real king of the WWF. The veteran and the legend Race gets the win over a young & game Tonga.
WWF Tag Team Titles: The Moondogs vs The British Bulldogs
I'd imagine What a Tag Team Match would be between The Moondogs and The British Bulldogs. Now I can find out in this rebooking. Although this is an intense and brutal Tag Team Match. The Bulldogs will pick up the victory and get the Canadian Crowd going.
Snake Pit Match
Ricky Steamboat vs Jake Roberts
We're not even going to have these two fight at Saturday Night's Main Event, Infact, let's put it in the second Summerslam. Steamboat & Roberts have the snake pit match and Steamboat will get the win after what Roberts did to him at Saturday's Night Main Event and Steamboat will unleash his pet snake on him.
Don Muraco vs Roddy Piper
After WrestleMania 2. Piper took a hiatus but what he didn't realize was Adrian Adonis took over Piper's Pit and Bob Orton was now on the side of Adrian Adonis, Piper would return as a face explaining and demanding answers, on a Primetime Wrestling Episode, Adonis, Orton and Muraco all attacked Piper at the Flower Shop. Piper destroyed the Flower Shop in a fit of rage and vowed redemption. Piper & Muraco have a very good match with Piper getting the win in his first WWF Face Run.
WWF Women's Championship: Velvet McIntyre vs Leilani Kai
I have to add a Women's Title Match at Summerslam. It's not a good match by all means, but McIntyre retains the Women's Championship:
The Hart Foundation vs Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff
Although this is a heel vs heel match. The Hart Foundation get a lot of cheers in Canada and they are the babyfaces in Canada. The Hart Foundation will get the win after getting a massive pop, but when they return to America they will become heels again.
Kamala vs George Steele
Here we have a hard hitting contest between Kamala & George Steele, and both of these dudes are weird and creepy. But in the end, Kamala is dominant and defeats Steele.
Big John Studd & King Kong Bundy vs The Machines
Allright everyone remembers Andre The Giant was suspended in real life and the Machines happened. So i'm going to pretend this feud never existed and give the win to Studd & Bundy and give a way for Andre to come back and repackage himself.
WWF Intercontinental Championship: Randy Savage vs Junkyard Dog
Now this is a match I would've loved to see in 1986, I know they did one match at the Wrestling Classic, but this match is for the Intercontinental Title. Savage & JYD put on another solid good action paced match. But in the end, Savage gets the win by ramming JYD's head into the exposed turnbuckle and hits the elbow drop to get the victory.
Billy Jack Haynes & Hillbilly Jim vs The Dream Team
An odd team in Billy Jack Haynes & Hillbilly Jim taking on the Dream Team, the crowd are waiting for the main event, that they don't even care about the match. The Dream Team will get the victory over Haynes & Jim.
WWF Championship Match: Hulk Hogan (champion) vs Paul Orndorff
The match comes about when Orndorff uses his heel turn on Hogan and joins the Heenan Family that he will challenge Hogan for the title. Orndorff of course uses the Real American theme. This is a very good solid main event for the Canadian Fans, the fans are into it. But a ref bump happens and the rest of the Heenan Family comes out, but Super Hogan is able to fight them off one by one. But however Heenan slips Orndorff some brass knucks and Orndorff nails Hogan in the face with it. Heenan wakes the referee up. Orndorff throws the evidence away. Orndorff pins Hogan, 1. 2. 3. The crowd is pissed. Hogan gets screwed out of the WWF Championship for the second time. Hogan, who at one time thought he was friends with the man comes to and sees the man that he thought he was friends with has Hulk Hogan's Championship Belt. People are angry that they throw trash in Orndorff's face to end Summerslam.
SURVIVOR SERIES - November 23, 1986 - Salt Lake City, UT
5 on 5 Elimination Match: Team Savage (Randy Savage, Jake Roberts, Don Muraco, Bob Orton & Sika) vs Team Steamboat (Ricky Steamboat, Tito Santana, Koko B. Ware, Billy Jack Haynes & George Steele)
Last Year, Savage, Steamboat & Santana were in the opening match and once again they are a part of the opening match. Randy's Team consists of Jake Roberts, Don Muraco, Bob Orton & Butch Reed while Ricky Steamboat's team has Tito Santana, Koko B. Ware, Billy Jack Haynes & George Steele. There's a lo of animosity with Savage feuding with both Tito Santana & George Steele and the intense rivalry between Roberts & Steamboat. Steamboat's Team draws first blood with Santana eliminating Sika and Steamboat eliminating Orton, but the 5 on 3 momentum gets swept away with Roberts eliminating George Steele thanks to a DDT and Savage eliminating Koko B. Ware with an elbow off the top. Haynes eliminates Muraco, but he gets eliminated by Roberts. Savage & Roberts vs Steamboat & Santana. Savage & Roberts show some good tag team offensiveness and that has Savage eliminate Santana thanks to an elbow drop. Savage & Roberts team up against Steamboat but a miscommunication with Savage accidentally hitting Roberts causes Roberts to walk out of the match, it is now a one on one battle between Savage & Steamboat. Savage tries to eliminate Steamboat, but Steamboat rolls Savage up from behind to get the victory, after the contest though. Steamboat gets attacked by Savage and similar to the same rivalry angle between the two. Savage crushes Steamboat's larynx. Steamboat's team come down to chase Savage off but the damage is done.
8 on 8 Elimination Match: Team Hart Foundation (Bret Hart, Jim Neidhart, Nikolai Volkoff, Iron Sheik, Moondog Rex, Moondog Spot, The Dream Team vs Team Bulldogs (British Bulldog, Dynamite Kid, Rick Martel, Tom Zenk, The Killer Bees & The Rougeau Brothers)
The Second Survivor Series Elimination Match is also a good match cause you have a great talented tag teams, The Bulldogs start the elimination off first when the Moondogs are the first to be eliminated by the Rougeau Brothers, But the Rougeaus are the next to be followed by the Hart Foundation making it even again, the new team Martel & Zenk eliminate Beefcake & Valentine after miscommunication, but Martel & Zenk will be eliminated by The Hart Foundation, The Killer Bees will be eliminated by The Sheik & Volkoff, but The Bulldogs eliminate them leading to a 2 on 2 between The Bulldogs and The Hart Foundation and The Hart Foundation win by use of cheating thanks to their manager Jimmy Hart.
Honky Tonk Man vs Jim Powers
This is Honky Tonk Man's first WWF Debut as he is managed by Jimmy Hart. This is indeed a total squash. Powers gets some offense in but he is beaten easily by The Honky Tonk Man.
7 on 7 Elimination Match: Team Hogan (Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper, Hillbilly Jim, Junkyard Dog, Haku, Tama & Andre The Giant vs Team Orndorff (Paul Orndorff, Adrian Adonis, King Harley Race, Kamala, Hercules, Big John Studd & King Kong Bundy)
The biggest main event in the 1986 Survivor Series History as Team Hogan takes on Team Orndorff, for weeks. Hogan announced his partners, but said there would be a mystery partner and that he would arrive at the PPV. And it would be Andre The Giant who was dressed in a black singlet. Despite this, Team Orndorff gets to a great start when Bundy eliminates Haku following the avalanche and splash. Tama is the next to follow after Kamala superkicks him, but it goes to a 6 on 5 for Team Hogan when Hogan hits Kamala with a leg drop and then Andre eliminates Hercules, but King Harley Race will get the next elimination by eliminating The Junkyard Dog, and Hillbilly Jim is the next to be eliminated by Paul Orndorff. Piper and Adonis will fight and get counted out. So it will come down to Bundy, Studd & Orndorff vs Hogan & Andre. Studd & Bundy have a miscommunication with one another. Hogan will hit Studd with a clothesline followed by a leg drop and then he will eliminate Bundy with a bodyslam and a leg drop and it will be a 2 on 1, Orndorff vs Hogan & Andre. Orndorff is all alone, he tries begging off but can't do it. Orndorff gets eliminated as Andre & Hogan hit a double big boot on Orndorff and Hogan drops the leg on Orndorff to get the victory. Andre seems a bit annoyed of Hogan posing to the fans that teases a WrestleMania III Match in the future, but at the start of 1987. Hogan wins back the WWF Title over Orndorff in a Steel Cage Match at Saturday Night's Main Event and Andre defeats King Kong Bundy to end the feud between Andre & Bundy.
1987 ROYAL RUMBLE - Detroit, MI - Joe Louis Arena - January 25, 1987
The Dream Team vs Cam-Am Connection
A way to kick off the 1987 Royal Rumble in a tag team match with The Dream Team taking on Cam-Am Connection, The Dream Team has had issues lately since late 1986 and they need to get a win here. Of course problems brew with the Dream Team again in the end of the match when another miscommunication by Valentine & Beefcake happens and that allows Martel to get the missile dropkick off the top over Valentine to get the win.
WWF Intercontinental Title: Randy Savage vs George Steele
This happened last year at the Royal Rumble, only it was a singles match, but this feud is still continuing cause of George Steele still having eyes for Miss Elizabeth, This is a little 3-5 minute match. Steele gets a little offense in against Savage but unfortunately he fails to regain the Intercontinental Title over Savage.
WWF Tag Team Titles: The Hart Foundation vs The British Bulldogs
The Harts and The Bulldogs have been battling on since WrestleMania 1. And now that The Bulldogs are the champs. The Hart Foundation and The Bulldogs battle for the 1987 Royal Rumble for the Tag Team Titles. The match is as the same of Saturday Night's Main Event when referee Danny Davis helps out the Hart Foundation win the WWF Tag Team Championship and that gets Danny Davis suspended for "life".
WWF Championship: Hulk Hogan vs Kamala
This will be Hogan's toughest test as he already defeated Paul Orndorff in a Steel Cage Match in the first of 1987 at Saturday Night's Main Event. After Hogan celebrated his title victory. Kamala came out on Superstars of Wrestling to have a face to face confrontation with Kamala attacking him from behind and beating him down, Hogan somehow successfully survives another title defense by slamming him and hitting a leg drop on the Ugandan Giant to retain the title.
Andre The Giant wins the 30-Man Royal Rumble
This is a better way to have Andre The Giant win the second Royal Rumble Match cause he is considered the king of the Battle Royals and he needs to win the match if he wants the storyline with Hogan to be elevated further. The first 2 entrants in the Rumble are Iron Sheik & Hillbilly Jim. There are rivalries and potential storylines happening too at the Rumble as we have Piper & Adonis, Ricky Steamboat will be the surprise entrant to have unfinished business with Randy Savage. Jake Roberts has recently turned face and he wants to get his hands on Honky Tonk Man, The Brutus/Valentine thing is going to implode soon enough and it does with Beefcake eliminating Valentine turning Beefcake into a face officially, Piper & Adonis eliminate each other, we have the final 4 of the match. Andre The Giant, King Kong Bundy, Hercules & Paul Orndorff so it's basically a 3 on 1 but Andre fights back and eliminates Orndorff & Hercules and then Bundy in the final 2. Afterwards, Hulk Hogan comes out to celebrate with Andre but Andre is clearly visibly annoyed that Hogan is once again hot-dogging the spotlight. Andre walks out and that leads to Andre returning with Bobby Heenan on February 7, 1987 and challenging Hogan for the Championship at WrestleMania 3. Hogan refuses, but Andre tears the cross off of Hogan's neck that Hogan says "yes" the next week.

WrestleMania 3 - March 29, 1987 - Pontiac Silverdome - Detroit, Michigan
Brutus Beefcake vs Greg Valentine
We kick off WrestleMania 3 with the Dream Team imploding. It all started after they lost the gold at WrestleMania 2 last year and they've had problems in late 1986, until it went south at the 1987 Royal Rumble when Brutus Beefcake finally had enough after Valentine had eliminated him turning Beefcake into a face. Beefcake gets the win by making Valentine tap out to the sleeper hold to get the victory.
King Kong Bundy vs Big John Studd
The reason I still have Big John Studd in my rebooking 1985-1989 PPV is because he and Bundy were all set to have a feud because they were having problems as a tag team, and on January 3, 1987 after Bundy's match with Andre The Giant thanks to an accident by Big John Studd. The two monsters collided ending their partnership for good. Heenan's on the side of King Kong Bundy cause Big John Studd is a babyface and Studd has already fired Heenan. Studd wants to stop Bundy's dominance while Bundy wants to keep continuing to stay in the main event spot. And although it's a monsterous match with the two heavy hitters refusing to go down. Bundy gets taken off his feet eventually but as Studd sets him up for the bearhug. Bundy's weight collides on Studd and that allows Bundy to get the victory over Studd. Studd will leave the WWF until Late 1988, I won't bring Studd in December, I'll probably bring Studd maybe in October or November.
Battle Royal:
Hercules vs Billy Jack Haynes vs Rick Martel vs Tom Zenk vs Don Muraco vs Paul Orndorff vs Koko B. Ware vs Outback Jack vs Blackjack Mulligan vs Jim Powers vs Paul Roma vs Butch Reed vs Cowboy "Bob Orton" vs Nikolai Volkoff vs Hillbilly Jim vs Sika vs Kamala vs The Killer Bees vs Pedro Morales
Some of these people like Orndorff, Kamala, Sika and others were not a part of WrestleMania so I figured why not put them all in there, The Battle Royal Victory will go to Hercules by last eliminating Hillbilly Jim to establish his dominance as a main event competitor.
Junkyard Dog vs Harley Race
Nothing I wouldn't change here
Tito Santana vs Danny Davis
This is redemption for Tito Santana as he looks to get revenge on the man who cost him the Intercontinental Championship last year. Davis although he shows off some impressive moves still is no match for the former 2-time Intercontinental Champion as he puts Davis away for good, ARRIBA!.
Roddy Piper vs Adrian Adonis
Again, I'm not going to change what happened in real life, but what I will change after is yes Piper will retire to feature "They Live" And Piper will probably come back by late 1988 or early 1989. As for Adonis, I will keep him for a while because he cut some of Brutus Beefcake's hair in a one on one match. Beefcake comes in and helps Piper shave Adonis's head. Adonis will stay around and feud with Brutus Beefcake in the Summer in my next PPV story for 1987.
Jim Duggan vs Iron Sheik
In Early February, Jim Duggan made his debut to prevent Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff from singing the Russian Anthem. Duggan debuts and defends the United States of America from The Sheik & Volkoff that Duggan's first WWF Match is made for WrestleMania 3 against the Iron Sheik. Duggan and The Sheik put on a good match although it's Duggan's debut but in the end it's Duggan that wins the match.

I'm not using the spurs incident, no can do on that. But I will let these two have their first feud. This is a catch as catch can match. Both men will be counted out after brawling on the floor.
Junkyard Dog & Koko B. Ware vs Honky Tonk Man & Greg Valentine
Junkyard Dog's time was up in the WWF so why not let him team up with Koko B. Ware to take on the new tandem of Rhythm & Blues. This is a subpar tag team match, but the new duo of Valentine & Honky Tonk Man will get the victory over Koko B. Ware & JYD.
Steel Cage Match:
Hulk Hogan vs Andre The Giant
Finally, the feud will come to a head as Andre The Giant & Hulk Hogan will wrestle one final time, but this time inside of a 15-foot Steel Cage. During the match, The Big Bossman shows up to attack Hogan during his entrance and beats him with his nightstick. After, Andre gets out of the door to bring Hogan into the ring with Andre destroying Hogan at every turn. Hogan tries fighting back but Andre just powers his comeback. Hogan eventually will fight back by hitting a clothesline off the top of the cage knocking down Andre. Hogan then bodyslams him to the mat and hits him with the leg drop and escapes the cage to win the match and end the rivalry once and for all.
WWF Championship Match: (Jesse Ventura as the Special Guest Referee)
Randy Savage vs Ted Dibiase
This is Dibiase's rematch from WrestleMania 4, Jesse Ventura will referee the match to make sure that there is no interference. Dibiase tries bribing Ventura money in the weeks to come but although Ventura is a "heel commentator", he refuses the money. He vows to call it down the middle. Savage & Dibiase fight for a total of 15 to 20 minutes, Ventura is a byest referee and he does a good job with Savage retaining the title over Dibiase, but after the match. Familiar Music plays and we hear a "WOOOO" break the loudspeakers and it's RIC FLAIR!. Flair stares down Savage and then tells Savage to turn around and we see Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Barry Windham & J.J. Dillon surround the ring, Savage gets beaten down by the original Four Horsemen. Hulk Hogan comes in to try to make the save but he gets attacked too. The Four Horsemen stand tall as they attack referees and officials to end the 1988 Summerslam.

Team Roberts (Jake The Snake Roberts, Shawn Michaels, Marty Jannetty, Hacksaw "Jim Duggan" & Owen Hart) vs Team Rude (Rick Rude, Boris Zukhov, Nikolai Volkoff, Dino Bravo & Terry Taylor.
Roberts wants to end this feud with Rude once and for all, so he adds tag team partners in The Rockers, Hacksaw "Jim Duggan" & Owen Hart while Rick Rude has Boris Zukhov, Nikolai Volkoff, Dino Bravo & Terry Taylor, I'm not doing the Red Rooster thing and the Blue Blazer thing either. Roberts's team gets off to a good start with Roberts eliminating Zukhov with a DDT making it 5 on 4. Roberts's team continues to dominate once more with Owen hitting Taylor with a cross body off the top rope eliminating him going to a 5 on 3. Volkoff will be eliminated via double superkick by The Rockers. Rude's team is not doing so well at the moment, Rude & Bravo fight off the 5 on 2 situation with Bravo eliminating Jannetty, Rude then eliminates Owen & Duggan at the same time, So It's Roberts & Michaels vs Rude & Bravo. Michaels surprisingly eliminates Bravo, and it's down to a 2 on 1. But Rude will eliminate Michaels and it goes to a 1 on 1 between Roberts & Rude. Roberts wins the match for his team ending the feud with Rude once and for all.

Another great Survivor Series Elimination Match, Brutus & Bass have a lot of issues going on so they will settle it at the Survivor Series with teams of 5. Bass's team starts off with Muraco being eliminated by Mr. Perfect, but Beefcake's team battles back with Beefcake eliminating Harley Race and making him submit, in the middle of the match. The Bulldogs and the Rougeaus fight all the way to the back getting theirselves countedout. So that leads to a 2 on 2 between Perfect & Bass vs Koko & Beefcake. Perfect eliminates Koko with the Perfectplex. Bass will get himself eliminated by whipping Beefcake with a leather belt so that will allow Perfect to defeat a beaten Beefcake with the Perfectplex and become the Sole Survivor.

Perhaps the biggest main event in Survivor Series history.

But Bossman will get himself disqualified by attacking Hogan with a nightstick and that will allow Flair to eliminate Hogan after leading to Flair vs Savage.

After the match, Flair's team attacks Savage but Savage's team run in to make the save and Savage & Hogan pose to send the crowd home happy but Hogan carries Elizabeth in his arms while Savage sees it and senses jealousy.

WWF ROYAL RUMBLE - January 15, 1989 - The Summit - Houston, TX
WWF Tag Team Titles: Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard vs The Bulldogs
We kick off the Royal Rumble with Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard taking on The Bulldogs for the Tag Team Titles. The reason i'm keeping The Bulldogs is because I've decided to let them stay for a while, I'm going to release the Dynamite Kid and let British Bulldog stay on as a singles solo competitor, because after that match. Dynamite Kid will request his release and let the British Bulldog be a singles competitor, McMahon will approve of it, so this is The Bulldogs's last hurrah but can they capture the Tag Team Titles, the answer is no.

WWF Championship Match: Randy Savage vs Hulk Hogan
I know people will criticize me for this booking, but Savage vs Hogan at WrestleMania 5 was great, I needed Savage to take on Hogan at the Royal Rumble, the jealousy with the Megapowers and Elizabeth has Savage over the edge that he challenges Hogan to a title match. Hogan reluctanly accepts. This is a good match between the two. Hogan almost gets the win by hitting the big boot/leg drop combination but Savage kicks out for the first time of Hogan's leg drop. Hogan goes for the leg drop again on Savage but Savage rolls out of the way and hits 2 axe handles off the top rope followed up by his signature elbow to get the victory, cleanly winning over Hogan. After the Match. Savage & Hogan shake hands, Savage will stay a face.
