WWF SATURDAY NIGHT'S MAIN EVENT
MARCH 12TH, 1988
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE
NASVILLE MUNICIPAL AUDITORIUM
-HEAR ME NOW THERE'S NO PLACE IN THE DANGER ZONE FOR YOUR KIND OR MONEY. YOU'RE A BAD CHEQUE AND I'M GOING TO BOUNCE YOU OUT OF HERE FOR GOOD. MACHO TALKS AND MONEY WALKS.
-Ted says he's bought class and fiscal responsibility to the WWF, unlike what he brings to it. He's going to bring something worth its weight in gold tonight.
-Brutus speaks in haircut puns. Dude, now i REALLY hate you.
-Slick and OMG say that Ken Patera will do what all US Olympians do best, and that's lose
-Bobby Heenan says Hogan will be on his hands and knees, showing proper respect to the King, Harley Race
-Hogan says he will never bow or break, and better men have tried, dude. He says he'll crown Harley Race like he's never been crowned before.
Vince and Jesse show the footage of Main Event for the 100th time this week.
Mean Gene-
-Hammer and Jimmy finally snap at Gene for making hair jokes, and Jimmy screams he knows nothing about wrestling as they walk out.
Mean Gene-
-Brutus says he's he can CUT in the ring and his skills are SHARPE and he has the EDGE in the ring.
Match#1 Greg Valentine w/Jimmy Hart vs Brutus Beefcake
Brutus's open flurry is ok as he's at least leaning into things and hitting hard, and Hammer's selling and bumps are the best part of it. Brutus gases himself out because he's eaten a ton of steroids this year and is moving super slow and badly. Hammer cracks him with a punch to the forehead to take over, and we get out good as heck Hammer control seg as he's the most reliable pro wrestler. Brutus hurts his knee on the outside, and Honky comes out and grabs the mic and makes fun of of him for being a loser and whatnot, and hey fair call. Refs make him leave, and Hammer attacks Brutus knees for a while. Great stuff on it as he's Hammer, and Brutus sells it as well as he can. He makes a bad comeback for a minutes or so. Hammer slips in a back suplex and both mens shoulder's are down, but Brutus gets his up to win.
**
Post match, Hammer lose his shit, and Brutus is able to sneak behind him and cut some of his hair. Hammer goes after him but Brutus scares him off with the sheers. What an asshole.
Mean Gene-
Gene accuses him of being partially responsible for the title vacancy. Heenan says he'd love to shoulder some of that responsibility, and it's a beautiful sight to see the end of Hulamania and see the snot pouring out of the humanoids noses.He says Hulkamania will continue the downslide tonight before it dies at WrestleMania, and now Hogan will show true respect to the true king of the WWF, Harley Race. Race says Hogan is mortal as it's been proven, and all mortal men must bow to the king. Bobby says he's also going to kiss his feet, so lets go to the subjects.
Mean Gene-
-Hogan says Hulkamania will NEVER die as the wheels are churning on. Race is the last thing in his way before he gets his title back. He only bows to one man, AND THAT BIG DUDE WALKS ON WATER. All the weasels men will not be able to put the king back together again after tonight.
Match#2 King Harley Race w/Bobby Heean vs Hulk Hogan
Again, seeing Hogan without the worlds title is such a weird sight after all this time. Race drops a series of elbows to start and then a SICK series of headbutts right to the dome, and Hogan no sells and beats the crap out of him for it, and we get tremendous Race bumps. Hogan takes his face off with a lariat and sends him down onto the timekeepers table knees first in a scary moment. Hogan picks him up and rams him face first into the post. Hogan keeps on him and Race is now bumping like a lunatic on the outside, and it's a festival of the coolest shit he can do. Hogan is a house of fire as his offence looks better than it has in a long time all stiff and amazing looking. He takes his wrist tape off and chokes and punches Race with it, and Jesse calls out the ref for being his buddy Joey Marella once again helping him out. Bobby trips Hogan, and Race clobbers Hogan in the back of the head to cut him off, and he drops knees and elbows as fast as he can, and even a sweet looking Belly to Belly., and then the Spike Piledriver. Race beats him outside and lays him on the table
HOLY FUCKING SHIT. Race has now done permanent damage and caused a hernia and it will end his career in two years. What a way to go out, though. He somehow doesn't die and keeps on the attack, and hits the diving headbutt. Hogan makes his incredible comeback and rips his face off, and it's the best one he's done in aged and ages. He nails the Legdrop to win.
***
Post match, Heenan hits Hogan and nearly dies, BUT HE RUNS AND JUMPS OVER THE TOP ROPE AND RUNS FOR IT. He poses as Jesse makes fun of him for thinking he's still champion.
Mean Gene-
Ted says this is sleazy politics, but he'll have his belt in a matter of weeks. Andre says he has a big surprise tonight, and says he's the man who's destroyed Hulkamania, and now he'll destroy the Madness too. Gene asks about the comment about having something worth more than gold, and Ted quickly tells him to mind his mouth. He finshes by saying there's nothing more macho than a man with money.
Mean Gene-
-Randy says he talks and money walks and they proved that when he came up bankrupt trying to buy Hogan. He's going to bounce him all over the WWF. In his corner is something worth it's weight in gold, the bravest little woman in wrestling, Miss Elizabeth. She walks on and as Randy says it's time to cash in.
ANDRE THE GIANT MAKES HIS WAY DOWN AFTER RANDY REACHES THE RING. Oh fuck.
Match#3 Randy Savage w/Miss Elizabeth vs Ted DIBiase w/Virgil & Andre The Giant.
Randy bitch slaps Virgil when he tries to get to Liz, and Ted kicks him in the head and beats the shit out of him. His offence is fantastic looking as he's reached his peak in ring and out, and Randy is beaten down pillar to post as Ted drops him with big strikes in the corner. He drops him with a double fist to the head and beats his face and head in on the mat, and Randy's selling is on another level as Ted smacks harder and harder. Savage finally flings him in the corner and nails the knee to the face and then one to the back to send him to the floor, and he comes back to life as he unloads a beating super fast and meaner than hell. Randy rams his throat into the top ropes and Ted flies backwards in a wild bump, and then he takes another gross one to the floor. Randy is too fired up, and it allows Ted to sneak in a knee to the ribs to cut him back off, and he returns fire with even harder shots this time. Randy again manages to kick him off to the floor, but Ted drags him under the ropes and fights him. Andre walks towards him, and Virgil hits Randy from behind and gets kicks him out. We come back to Ted still in control, and it's got all that fire with everything he does. He locks in a sleeper and chokes the daylights out of him, and Randy ramps up his selling and facials as he's once again turning purple and near death until he can finally get out. He fights back and puts Ted to the sword now even angrier. Ted accidentally runs into the ref with a shoulder block to kill him, and Randy sends Ted to the floor and hits the Axe Handle, BUT ANDRE GRABS RANDY AND HEADBUTTS HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND THROWS HIM INTO THE POST, AND LIZ RUNS AWAY. Andre bashes the fuck out of Randy o the outside using the rails, and Ted covers the refs face so he can't see the attack. He lets him go as Randy is now dead, and he counts him out. Aww son of a bitch.
***1/4
Post match, Virgil comes back out and helps the heels beat him down some more, BUT HULK HOGAN RUNS DOWN WITH A CHAIR AND CHASES THEM AWAY. FUCK YEAH. Miss Elizabeth comes back as well, and Vince figures out she went to get his help. He praises her for loving and standing by her man, and Jesse is disgusted. Hogan helps him back to his feet and raises both his and Liz's arms. Fantastic stuff.
In the back, Jesse is with Bobby and the Islanders, and Bobby is wearing a full bee keeping mask. He makes honey jokes and says his fellas love animals of all kinds and might just pull some wings off to show how much they do.
Match#4 The Islanders vs The Killer Bees
Thankfully only 3 minutes as the Bees make TV again despite being the lowest team on the totem pole. They do their fine ass basics to start and it's good, but so below every other team at this point. The Islanders take off and beat Jim's stupid face in for being alive, and it's way better work as they're just the coolest dudes kicking and chopping these dopes to death. Haku kills Blair with a lariat as he's got a pin on Tama, and Haku jumps on top and covers his face as the 3 is counted.

Mean Gene-
-Slick mocks all the olympians being losers and cheats and not real athletes like his OMG. He then makes fun of the Yankees for a while, and Gene is very sad about this.
Match#5 One Man Gang w/Slick vs Ken Patera.
OMG jumps him with his fat and chokes him with his jacket, and it's a wonderful sight seeing this nerd get blasted. He fights back with some good strikes of his own and gets a bearhug on the big man, and Vince is in shock he was able to get his arms around him. Race switches to the Full Nelson, and shakes and wears him down with nasty punches to the back of the skull. OMG manages to use his fat to stop the blows, but Ken won't die as he keeps on him, and even hits a sick looking knee to the jaw to stumble him. THEY GET FREE AND KEN THROWS HIM AGAINST THE ROPES FOR A LARIAT, BUT OMG HITS ONE OF HIS OWN AND FALLS ON TOP OF KEN TO GET THE WIN OUT OF NOWHERE. HOLY SHIT THAT FINISH RULED.
**1/2
Post match, OMG beats him up some more, but Ken won't die and somehow picks him up for a slam, but fucking Slick drills him with the cane to the side of the head and gets OMG out of there.
Mean Gene-
-Hogan is laughing like a lunatic as Gene talks about the happenings of tonight. Gene says he's never seen such maniacal behaviour from him. Hogan laughs it off and says when they showed the cash, they threw the rule book out and that's why they're laying flat on their backs. Fee Fi fo fum, he's coming for that stinky giant.
Tremendous episode of Wrestling.
