From the Mobile Civic Center in Mobile, AL
Your hosts are Vince McMahon and Mr. Perfect
This week, we have a special interview with Elizabeth. Also, a tribute to Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper vs. Shawn Michaels, and Jake Roberts.
British Bulldog vs. Scott Avery
Vince is disgusted at Perfect for saying they have more pics with Elizabeth. Bulldog works the arm then hits a delayed vertical suplex as Vince questions the legitimacy of these photos. Vince then talks about Randy Savage being out for revenge as Bulldog hits a running powerslam for the win (1:17).
Thoughts: More talk about the Elizabeth/Flair photos with Savage out for revenge.
WWF Update with Gene Okerlund. Vince interview with Elizabeth from the Prime Time WrestleMania Special is shown. Okerlund says we will hear from Flair & Perfect later on in the show.
Tatanka vs. Sandy Beach
Vince asks Perfect if he really thinks the world will not believe Elizabeth’s claims that the photos were doctored. Perfect says Elizabeth is a liar. Tatanka takes control then hits a suplex as we hear from Rick Martel in an insert promo telling Tatanka he has no class after his attack from two weeks ago and promises victory at WrestleMania. Beach charges in the corner but eats boots then Tatanka hits a Samoan Drop for the win (1:55).
Thoughts: More hype for the Tatanka/Martel match as they have begun to create some tension between both men.
Sid beating Hercules from the 2/23 MSG show.
Shawn Michaels vs. Roddy Piper from the Prime Time WrestleMania Special is shown joined in progress.
WrestleMania VIII Report with Okerlund. We see footage of Okerlund at the airport waiting for Flair & Perfect to arrive. Flair & Perfect put down Elizabeth for being a liar then Flair recalls Elizabeth being proud that she rode Space Mountain and was there and loved it but now she can not come back then Flair & Perfect talk about the centerfold they will put up on the big screen at the Hoosier Dome so everyone can see what she looks like. Flair tells Savage after he takes the worst beating of his life he’ll be damaged goods just like his wife. Flair then yells “Wooo” before boarding his private plane.
Jake “The Snake” Roberts vs. Scott Allen
Vince thinks Jake will leave the Hoosier Dome in a bodybag. Jake beats down Allen then works the arm as the announcers talk about Jake’s willingness to stoop to a low level. Jake stays in control then pins Allen with a short-arm clothesline (2:07).
Thoughts: More last minute hype for Jake vs. Undertaker.
WBF Bodystars ad airs.
A tribute to Hulk Hogan airs and that is followed by the Hogan interview with Vince on the Prime Time WrestleMania Special . They really did make it seem like Hogan was finished after WrestleMania.
The announcers close out the show with one final plug for WrestleMania.
Final Thoughts: Its the final hype for WrestleMania VIII. The top matches have been built up well for the most part and they tried to get heat for some of the midcard matches too. Lets see if the show is able to deliver.
