WWF Presents: THE MAIN EVENT



Jesse_Ventura_%26_Vince_McMahon.jpg



Vince McMahon: Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the MAIN EVENT! I am Vince McMahon alongside Jesse the Body Ventura! Jesse, we are here from the Meadowlands in New Jersey for this very special showcase event!



Jesse Ventura: You got that right McMahon! This is prime time jack and you know the lights don’t get any brighter than on NBC!



McMahon: We want to thank NBC for hosting this special event. We have got a great broadcast set for you… right now, we want to take it to some footage of what we saw earlier on before the broadcast went live…



-We then see footage of Randy Savage taking on Brutus Beefcake and Jake the Snake Roberts getting involved.

Lord Alfred Hayes: Fans I am here right now with Jake the Snake Roberts. Mr. Roberts, it was a few weeks ago at the King of the Ring that we saw you attack Randy Savage and viciously DDT him on the concrete floor. Tonight you did it again… what is your motive to continue to attack Randy Savage?



hqdefault.jpg



Jake Roberts: You wanna talk motive? You wanna talk reasons. Why does a man get out of bed each day? Why would a man knowingly join a profession in which his head gets kicked in every night? Man there is no rhyme or reason. There is no process of thought. There is… only… what I want. Now Randy Savage you have what I want. You hold it close to you and you covet it. Some say Randy Savage, even you take advantage of it. You take it for granted. Randy Savage… you my friend are just another pawn in the human game of chess that I, the King, am about to eliminate.



Lord Alfred: There you have it fans, let’s go to Gene Okerlund…




hqdefault.jpg



Mean Gene Okerlund: Certainly some strange words there from Jake Roberts. I am here right now with the Intercontinental Champion, Randy Savage. We have seen it multiple weeks now, Jake Roberts will go to any cost to try and get the best of you…



Randy Savage: Get the best of me? Get the best of me? Brother he couldn’t handle the best of the Macho Man! He couldn’t handle me on my worst day… I mean look at what he’s doing. He comes from behind. He drops me on my head. Then he runs away… he runs away… no… no… he slithers away… yeah! Jake Roberts, why don’t we do the thing huh? You drop me on my head… you cause me to get stitched and staples. Huh! A little memory loss? Huh! You think you can get in my head Jake Roberts… no chance brother… not a chance in the world. You say I have what you want… well brother all you gotta do is ask and I will let you come and get it. Come and GET IT JAKE ROBERTS! YEAH!



*COMMERCIAL*



Vince McMahon: Fans we are back and Jesse, the action in the WWF is at a fever pitch right now. We saw footage from the Intercontinental Champion, Randy Savage. We know about the success of the WWF Tag Team Champions, the British Bulldogs.



Jesse Ventura: Without a doubt McMahon. You are talking about Davey Boy Smith and the Dynamite Kid. These two guys have traveled the world and beat the best. They have come here to the WWF and become champions for a second time. I think this could be their longest reign.



McMahon: We know that they will have a challenge from Gino Hernandez and a mystery partner tomorrow night in Madison Square Garden.



Jesse: And just to clear the air… I am not his partner…



McMahon: That was one of the rumors… but I guess we can discount it. One of the many mysteries that we will find out here in the WWF but Gene Okerlund is with Bobby Heenan who has got another mystery on his mind…



hqdefault.jpg



Gene Okerlund: Bobby Heenan, welcome in here. I know you have got a lot on your mind, especially with the big cage match tomorrow night in Madison Square Garden with Hulk Hogan and King Kong Bundy…



Bobby Heenan: I am not here to talk about how King Kong Bundy is going to end Hulk Hogan tomorrow night. I mean look at how it is going to go down… tonight Hogan is going lose the title… then tomorrow night his career is going to be ended. No questions asked.



Mean Gene: I somehow don’t think it is going to play out that way….



Heenan: Who asked you?



Mean Gene: Please Bobby Heenan… now, I am told you have had your detective hat on recently?



Heenan: Don’t kid with me Okerlund... these two guys under masks... I know there are two of them and they are trying to mess with my Family!



Mean Gene: Please Heenan, fans let's take a look at the WWF Tag Team Champions...



Heenan: Hey I am not done yet...



*SPECIAL VIDEO OF THE BRITISH BULLDOGS*



*COMMERCIAL*



Vince McMahon: Well Jesse, the time has come, the championship is upon us.



Jesse Ventura: You can feel it Vince McMahon, goosebumps up and down my arm. I am ready for this big main event!



McMahon: The heavyweight championship is on the line… Roddy Piper and Andre the Giant are handcuffed together outside of the ring, fans let’s go to Howard Finkel.



-We then cut to the Fink who is running down the big main event. We then see the entrance of Bob Orton accompanied by Rowdy Roddy Piper. They have got some serious heat with the fans and the crowd is showering them with debris here in the Meadowlands. We then have the entrance of Andre the Giant who is given a very warm ovation. Piper continues to shake his head no as Andre just smiles. We then hear Hulk Hogan’s music hit and the roof explodes as the Champion is shown coming to the ring. He is rockin and rollin here as he is talking his entire way down to the ring. He points both his hands at Piper and Orton and needless to say… it is ON! We get some fun comedy shtick of Piper trying to evade the handcuffs before police officers stop him and then Andre grabs him and belts him with a right hand and they are cuffed together. Fink then gives us some big time announcements as the bell rings and we are underway.



MAIN EVENT


WWF CHAMPIONSHIP


Roddy Piper & Andre handcuffed outside the ring


Hulk Hogan © vs Cowboy Bob Orton


-Nothing too crazy here as these guys have a pretty fun, formulaic match. It begins with Hogan sending Orton from pillar to post. He is hammering away at him with everything and Orton is selling like a car salesmen. We continue to see Piper try to get away from Andre but the Giant keeps pulling him back. The next stage of the contest sees Piper get up for just long enough to distract Hogan, leading to Orton getting control of the contest. We get a nice little 7-minute heat segment that sees Orton nail Hogan with a chair outside the ring but Piper was distracting the referee. We see Orton looking to finish here as he picks Hogan up for a huge BRAINBUSTER. He gloats around the ring and then runs for a big knee drop and Hogan is selling hard. Cowboy Bob then grabs Hogan and locks him in the sleeper and Piper is going wild. The fans are chanting for Hogan who goes down but then builds back up in a huge way. We see him hoist Orton up on his back and then go backwards into the turnbuckle! Hogan is shaking off the cobwebs but then blocks a couple of punches and he is fully Hulked up now! He hammers Orton once, twice, and a third time before tossing him to the ropes and BIG BOOT! Hogan hits the ropes and LEG DROP! 1….2….3!! HULK HOGAN HAS WON IT! HOGAN RETAINS THE TITLE! THE CROWD IS GOING WILD! The fans are going nuts in the arena but this one isn’t done. We see some commotion in the entrance way as Piper is leading the Giant there and out of nowhere it is King Kong Bundy and Bobby Heenan. Bundy nails Andre with a chair and he goes down hard! Bundy nails him a couple more times before Heenan gives Piper a key and he is unlocked from the cuffs. They grab Andre and lock his hands around the ring post before going in the ring after Hogan! Hogan does his best to fight them off but Bundy and Piper are too much! They hammer away at the big man but then we get to see the power of Andre who breaks the cuffs and goes into the ring. Piper and Bundy flee as the crowd is going nuts! Hogan gets up and tries to get them to come back into the ring but Piper backs off and Hogan works the crowd. Vince and Jesse put this through the roof as we will be right back.



*COMMERCIAL*



Vince McMahon: History made here tonight Jesse Ventura… Ace Cowboy Bob Orton must leave the WWF and now it seems like Roddy Piper has made a friend with the Heenan Family!



Jesse Ventura: I know a lot of people bad mouth Piper for having the Ace up his sleeve, but I think when push comes to shove, he is going to be the man who takes that title from the Hulkster.



McMahon: Fans we will have words from Hulk Hogan momentarily. Jesse, it appears as though the paperwork has come through though… Commissioner Bruno Sammartino has made it official… on March the 31st, right over the river in Madison Square Garden, at WrestleMania… it will be Hulk Hogan vs Roddy Piper for the WWF Championship!



Jesse: The biggest main event in the history of wrestling McMahon and it is going to happen at WrestleMania…



McMahon: We will have more on that card in the coming weeks… right now lets take it to Mean Gene Okerlund and the WWF Champion, Hulk Hogan!



hqdefault.jpg



Mean Gene: Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, welcome in here. Gentlemen, we just saw a successful title defense, but more importantly, I think we saw the hand that Roddy Piper is going to play against you Hulk Hogan as it is official… at WrestleMania you will defend the WWF Championship against him in Madison Square Garden.



Hulk Hogan: Well you know something Mean Gene…Roddy Piper just went all in with an Ace high but I had a Giant Flush and we flushed that Ace right down the drain dude. Roddy Piper, you have gone out and made some friends with the Heenan Family and it doesn’t surprise me one bit. You see when you run with weasels, you are what you are, but when you run with the biggest athlete in the world brother, you are a champion for life. This right here is the man with the plan and the man who kept you in check. But that was the past and now is the future brother. Let’s talk about tomorrow night in Madison Square Garden… let’s talk about King Kong Bundy and I inside that 15-foot high steel cage and just what could happen. Well Bundy, when it is all said and done and Humpty Bundy climbs up the cage but falls down thanks to the Hulkster’s RAGE whatcha gonna do brother? And Roddy Piper… the match is official dude… on March the 31st, live in Madison Sqaure Garden, the biggest event in the world, WrestleMania, it is going to be me and you and there is not going to be anywhere to run or hide and whatcha GONNA DO WHEN HULKAMANIA RUNS WILD AT WRESTLEMANIA ALL OVER YOU!




Mean Gene: Fans there you have it, we will have more on WrestleMania and this huge event at Madison Square Garden next week on our programming… thank you for joining us!

Interesting that you chose to solely show Hogan vs Orton on TV while I could've definitely have seen Savage vs Beefcake and Gino vs Davey Boy featured on that show as well. But those two matches would make for one heckuva great Coliseum Video release!

 

I figured with it being my equivalent to the War to Settle the Score, the one match works on television while the rest will be shown next week.

 

I appreciate the feedback on the promos.
