Federation presents a double main event.

The Immortal Full Fulgen versus 476 pounds of the earthquake.

Plus, World Rustling Federation champion, the Ultimate Warrior,

defends against ravishing Rick Rudd.

on the outside and Shawn Michaels

obviously is unable to get up and

help us park.

Now Mr. Perfect, it was less than 10 days ago that you accepted the challenge from

the Texas Tornado to defend the Intercontinental Championship.

Now have you ever prepared for a title defense on such short notice?

To be perfectly honest with you, I haven't.

You see, being absolutely perfect does have its problems.

Because when you're a perfect Intercontinental Champion, challengers are few and far between.

Face it, everybody knows I'm perfect in every way.

The perfect body, the perfect mind, and the perfect record.

Mr. Perfect, is it wise to accept a challenge

from someone you know so little about?

Wait a minute, pal, I'll handle this one.

You see, I know a lot about this Texas tornado

because if you've seen one, you've seen them all.

And you know why they call you the Texas tornado?

you don't have your feet on the ground.

You see, a Texas tornado never really does any damage

because you can spot one coming a mile away.

Sure, they may look ferocious,

but all they're really good for is kicking up some dust

and maybe turning over a few mobile homes

in some hick trailer park on the panhandle.

Remember this!

Nobody beats Mr. Perfect!

Mr. Perfect's on the way to the ring to defend the Intercontinental Championship.

Well, he certainly is, but I must ask you, Hot Rod, whether or not you believe anyone,

really, other than yourself, of course, is absolutely perfect.

Well, I gotta give Perfect this.

He's a tremendous...

from Minneapolis, got nice hair all over her body.

He's so he is perfect in every way.

I see.

Except for Boomsie.

He took that route of Boomsie.

Standing by, Mean Gene Orton will take you now

over to Mean Gene, who's standing by

with a relative newcomer to the World Wrestling Federation,

the Texas tornado.

with me now ladies and gentlemen the Texas tornado a man who in just a short

period of time is taken if you will the World Wrestling Federation by storm

that's right mean gene there are tornado warnings at the summer slam but the

only tornado you have to worry about mr. perfect is the one that's gonna come out

of that black cloud hanging over your head right now

When it touches down in the ring, it's going to destroy everything in its path.

You see, you must not know much about the Texas tornadoes,

because Mr. Perfect, they're powerful, they're unpredictable, they're devastating.

And when our match is over and the Texas tornado heads back up into the clouds,

I'll be taking with me the intercontinental championship belt.

That's it from here, Vince. Let's get back to you.

All right, thank you, New Genus.

Thank you now for a ring introduction.

Absolutely not.

I see.

Curryvon, Eric.

Texas Tornado, and how about that?

Whoa, plenty of strength in this boy.

There is a middle of a whirlwind.

And I think maybe Bobby Hinnan and Mr. Perfect are a little surprised at that show of strength.

I wonder how much homework they actually get on this, or

if they just sat back and said, ah, no big thing, he don't know nothing this whirlwind.

Well, again, when you accept a challenge and

But what does he know about wrestling?

Well, that's, I guess, a matter of some conjectures.

It was actually what he knows about wrestling.

Well, what he knows, period.

And nice hip-dots.

Nicely done.

Well, maybe Mr. Perfect thinks he didn't have such a worthy adversary after all after this.

Looking like to give me a break.

He's looking like he's getting a little overconfident that the guy got lucky in the first shot.

This is the second perfect move.

according to Mr. Perfect that he's done.

Be interesting just to see if the Texas tornado can come back here.

Well-seasoned veteran, Kerry Bonner, takes us to what?

A chop to the choose, maybe sliding to the throat, reversal.

Well, that's easy for, he's standing outside saying that.

That's easy for him to say.

It didn't look like luck to me.

It looked like the guy knew exactly what he was doing.

And Mr. Perfect better start thinking here.

Texas tornado, moment ago appearing over the Bobby the Brain Hainan.

Who has been known from time to time to above himself physically in a confrontation.

on the Texas Tornado, this match breaking the fisticuffs here.

Ooh, right on the chops.

Perfect now, snaps over the Texas Tornado.

And, ooh!

Well, that'll change some vertebrae now.

And it certainly will.

From World Wrestling Federation action, especially here at SummerSlam. There is a brand-new

Intercontinental Champion and folks I got to tell you he came in a town here in Philadelphia

Like a Texas tornado like a whirlwind. He is the Texas tornado carry one Eric the brand new World Wrestling Federation

Intercontinental Champion now I had planned at this point in time to talk to sweet sapphire. She arrived

here at the Spectrum in Philadelphia with Dusty Rhodes earlier in the day, but I don't

know for some reason, apparently, she is not available.

Never in my life have I witnessed this, I can't, justice, no justice out there, at

the worst officiating in the world.

This Texas tornado broke every rule from the time the bell rang, until the time it was

over.

Don't cry, Bobby.

I'm not crunching on my case, I'm not to you all, you miserable, nobody beats Mr.

everybody, and you take the Intercontinental Championship.

Well, the lump on my head is from the post.

And you, Texas tornado, I will be back for you

to reclaim what rightfully belongs to the family.

Never before have I been humiliated.

The worst officiating I ever saw.

Oh, blame it on him.

The moron can't count.

One, two, the shoulder is up.

But no, he counts everything we.

To settle, both of you settle down.

You're totally out of line here.

You're out of control.

I'll be back Texas tornado. What's rightfully mine will re-return

These two

Well

No I don't suppose that at all.

I'm sure she's going to be ready to go.

I don't know they're going to give her another chance here.

I don't know what exactly is going on.

But this has never happened before.

I don't know.

Wait a minute.

We'll pick this up perhaps.

and Sweet Sapphire does not come to the ring within 30 seconds.

She will risk forfeiture of this match.

Come on, let's go, Sapphire, let's go.

Got 30 seconds to get down here.

I'm not too sure she can move it down here in 30 seconds.

20 seconds.

Come on, Sapphire.

to sensational Queen Sherry Dusty Rhodes,

I saw you and Sapphire arrive here today

at the Philadelphia Spectrum.

Perhaps you can shed some light

on Sapphire's current whereabouts.

I'll tell you what I mean, Jean.

I don't know.

I wish I knew what she was.

10 minutes after we got to the building, she disappeared.

And I went looking for her.

I searched the building high and low.

I looked in every nook and cranny.

Every security guard, I say, hey, have you seen Sweet Saffi?

It's almost as if she disappeared into thin air.

I don't mind telling you mean Jean

and everyone who's listening.

I'm worried.

I'm worried big time, because you've never

done anything like this before.

Hey, Hacksaw, have you seen Saffi, baby?

No, no, I haven't, Dust, but we're all still looking for her.

Well, what about these gifts she's been receiving, Dusty?

I know you've been concerned about the anonymous

and certainly the lavish nature of them.

You bet I'm concerned Jean because nobody gets something for nothing

But that's not my business is sweet sapphire business and besides she's been the happiest she's ever been

She got a diamond ring. She got a full league mean coat. She got a diamond and sapphire necklace

She got a cruise around the world. She got a gold bracelet and she got a brand new Cadillac

But baby, where is she? I'm sorry Jean. I got to go and find sapphire

All right as the search for sapphire continues I'm reminded that she did say she'd be receiving the biggest gift of all

Here at SummerSlam

Unfortunately, however, it looks as if she may not be here to receive it. Vince. Let's get back to you

All right. Thank you mean Jean. Well, that is something else indeed. Let's go back up now to ringside

This contest is scheduled for one fall.

Currently in the ring with his manager, the Doctor of Style, Slick.

Laying 321 pounds, the Warlord.

Thank you, look at that monster, would you?

It kinda looks like the Phantom of the Opera with that on that movie.

It should be a terrific matchup, and I'm not gonna stoop to calling Santana,

Taco Bender, or a bean eater, although he guts a lot of gas, I know.

But one thing you have to give him is a great wrestler.

He is a terrific wrestler, and he knows how to wrestle a man much larger his size.

Whoa, well, much stronger.

But that's stronger and that much larger, I don't know.

He might have it, he might, he might.

right about now, what do you think, I don't know.

That was a pretty fair throw there, Tito Santana is a good veteran.

Santana back to the corner and moving in, but

that's where you make the mistake Santana peppering.

The Warlord winds him up right now, and the big man wound up a little tighter.

Santana will have to use his mobility to his advantage as he does right there.

Warlord's got a little more than he suspected.

You know, just because a guy is big and powerful,

don't mean he know how to wrestle.

Tito Santana is your consummate wrestler.

He knows how to handle a guy like this and slicks their mind

to pass that information on.

Now working on the arm, good move on Tito's part.

Tito Santana trying to wear down those big guns.

I suppose it could be a long day.

Those hard big guns, these big all over.

Powerful.

And right up, go Santana.

Santana, no.

It would have been scraping Santana up off the canvas.

And he nailed him in.

What is this?

Yes, Santana.

was hoisted over the official all the way to the outside.

Well, one thing they say about big fellows,

they say the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

But they don't fall so often.

Yeah, I suppose not.

Slick having a conversation with the official

is the warlord is out there with Santana.

Oh, no.

He rams him.

Slick, Slick, he's going to Liberty Island.

Look at what we got here, Andy.

Ooh, baby.

Slick, he got a shoe on.

Hiding up, what's he gonna do with the shoe?

Chemical warfare.

I was gonna say, he might asphyxiate him to death.

Nonetheless, we know what this man can do.

The warlord holding up, down into the back again.

And when he hits, he does hit, huh?

Santana rolled back into the ring, and the warlord now with an opportunity to

on what he's accomplished thus far, and he's doing just that.

I think it's time for him to try to cover Tito, cuz with a big man now,

you don't have a guy that can go an hour in there.

You got a guy with limited time.

It's time for him either to wear Tito down or try some one twos on him.

Warlord, yet hammering into the back area.

So it's clear that the Warlord has the advantage here and

slick look at the smug look.

It's about the Hat Slickster, I'll take a cab and two pizzas please.

And again, Warlord just continuing to methodically hammer,

as he does again now, into the back of Tito Santana.

Tito taking a lot of punishment here from this guy, a lot of punishment.

And Santana will be the premier wrestlers in the World Wrestling Federation.

say that the Warlord is, to say the least, impressive.

It's the least impressive.

Oh, finna mess you with the club!

Losing all his weight, notice how he drives his shoulder in the sternum on the way down,

grabs the leg for a two and a three, just too big, too strong, like I said.

Wham, bam, SummerSlam, nice victory.

And after SummerSlam, headed up will be the Survivor Series.

The Survivor Series, our next paid preview event.

And you do not want to miss this one, because it will involve almost all of

the superstars in the World Wrestling Federation.

of the team effort of all the stars of the WWF.

Don't miss the Survivor Series.

Standing by right now, in a few moments will be, I believe,

Shawn, yes indeed, Shawn Moon, he is standing by.

And I believe he has with him a demolition.

It was right around the time that the Heart Foundation

challenged demolition for the Tag Team Championship

that a third member of demolition emerged onto the scene,

giving demolition what many considered to be

an unfair advantage.

Well, joining me now, demolition, axe, smash, and crush.

Gentlemen, I thought that this two out of three

false title defense restricted the presence of only two

members of demolition at SummerSlam.

You didn't raise a fine print, Modi.

It says only two demolition at ringside.

But which two, Mooney?

Yeah, is it me and Axe, or me and Smash?

Is it me and Cross or me and Smash?

Maybe it's me with Axe, or maybe it's me with Cross.

Gentlemen, I'm getting a little confused.

Well, that's the idea.

You're catching on, but it's too late

for the Heart Foundation to catch on.

We're demolition, and just like the name says,

we're gonna demolish the Heart Foundation.

Just like we demolish every tag team that's caught in a...

Certainly standing in your path should you be successful here tonight would be your next challengers the legion of doom

Hey, there's a couple of second-rate imposters who need their butt kicked and their teeth kicked down their throat

Just like the Heart Foundation

The other one believed to be Smash.

I'm not so sure.

Yes, that's Smash.

That's questions back.

All right.

Standing by.

Me and Gene Overland.

And perhaps me and Gene can shed a little light on the subject matter with the heart

condition.

Take it, Gene.

Yeah.

All right.

All right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Foundation, it must have been a little disconcerting not to know until this very moment which two members of demolition you were gonna face for the tag team title

But gentlemen, it appears that the pieces of the puzzle have finally fallen into place

I must admit it's been a little confusing, but I thought all along it was gonna be the two original and most experienced members of demolition

Axe and smash. What about you, Anvil? What do you think? Think!

They don't pay me to think, they pay me to be tough like an embo.

Hence the name, right?

Right?

Yeah, it never mattered to me because when I get in the ring, I just don't care.

Yeah.

He's a little anxious and so am I anxious to once again be the world wrestling Federation tag team champion

And now since we only have to worry about two demolition you can bet that the heart foundation

We're gonna make flatliners out of axe and crush. Yeah demolition after the heart attack

We're gonna give you you be boy and pacemakers by the truckload, baby

Just like Bill Collins says

What we have here are two hearts beating as one.

Yeah.

Let's get back to ringside.

Two haunts beating as one.

My goodness, I can't imagine that, but it's going to be one whale of a tag team title matchup, that's for sure.

Here's a Rachel Perry rejecter.

Listen to the ovation for these fighters!

It'll be

I think it's a disadvantage to demolition.

But then again, maybe the Heart Foundation was thrown off a little bit.

It actually crushed as one of the members in this particular demolition team.

Well, let's just check it out.

Yeah, smash starting things off here against the Hitman, Bret Hart.

A nice slow start.

Good thinking.

Two out of three falls, and that all important first fall could very well.

Wait a minute, let's stay with this.

Demolition apart even these two even though there is a height differential

And it's almost impossible to tell him apart when acts is in there

Action smash look very much alike

And the hit man down to the arm.

Right on that bicep, folds it back nicely.

Notice how he's got the leverage pulling back.

His hand on the tricep pulling back hard, using his wing.

Now look at that.

How would you like to take that home and say, I go on a date with your daughter?

I don't think so.

Again, we see how over the power of Smash and now, big crush comes in.

The newest member of Demolition.

Here's a big boy.

he gains the advantage not too likely to lose it.

What a shot!

Cross just fell on his feet, still on his feet.

But he don't know where he is, he thinks it's Christmas.

He could very well think he's in a Survivor Series at Thanksgiving already.

And it showed when he missed that knee drop, now they got the advantage.

Let's see what Crush is made of.

The angle of the hit man seemed to be picking up more momentum.

His time passes in the matchup.

Crush is picking up some teeth.

the reputation of being demolishing

with demolition and indeed they

just demolish people.

Mr. Keeping Bread.

He's under the win.

Yeah, all right, that's definitely ringside.

Show-terplot by the Hitman.

this is a political year and to tell you the truth ladies and gentlemen I would

hate to be an incumbent my goodness the way World Wrestling Federation titles

are falling tonight first with the new intercontinental title and out to tag

team new tag team champions these gentlemen the legion of doom hawk an

animal what in the world were you doing out of the ring

We're not going to hide behind these belts.

We'll take on anybody, anytime, anywhere.

Where's the shack belt?

These belts belong to the people.

Right, Ample?

Right here, man, baby.

Against all odds.

Two on two, three on three, get out, Jen.

Whatever.

Wait a minute.

Now, just exactly, how does the Legion of Doom

fit into the scheme of things?

The Legion of Doom fits in any way they want.

And you ask about the champagne?

Listen, we ain't.

Devolution does Jean all right gentlemen. I've got to tell you a lot of action out of that ring

I couldn't make heads or tails of half the things that were happening

The one thing I know for a fact is that we have brand new tag team champions breath the hip at heart

Jim the Adelaide heart you've smelled the roses before

Let's go

Well, thank you, Gene. There may be a celebration going on where you are, but behind this door,

all hell is breaking loose over demolition's loss of the Tag Team Championship.

Threats of revenge continue spewing from all three members of that awesome force.

But surprisingly, those threats are not directed at the new Tag Team Champions, the Heart Foundation.

Instead, they're directed at the Legion of Doom,

whom demolition now holds responsible for the loss of the Tag Team title.

And I can tell you, I would not want to be hawk or animal right now.

Quite frankly, right now is not a good time to talk to demolition.

Back to you, Jean.

With me now, sensational Queen Sherry.

You mean victorious sensational Queen Sherry.

Well, yes, but you're not going to gloat about a victory like that.

Listen, Mean Jean, when you are so good that you intimidate your opponent to the point where they don't even show up...

because they know they'll take a sensational beating.

You can't gloat. All you want to.

Well, I suppose, but, uh, Queen Sherry,

there's something peculiar going on around here

as it relates to Sweet Sapphire.

It's almost as if she vanished into thin air.

There were earlier sightings of Sapphire,

but I don't know what's happened to her, really.

Earlier sightings? What is she? A U.S.

But you're right, a lot of people did see Sapphire earlier this afternoon and I'm beginning

to think that maybe she's not so dumb after all.

What do you mean?

First of all, she was smart enough not to show up and take a beating in her match with

me.

Second, I heard a few rumors a minute ago.

She may be the smartest person in the WWF.

Rumors, what rumors?

Well, this is too good to be true.

Sensational, Queen Sherry.

I failed to see what's so funny about a missing person.

I said she was missing.

I didn't say anything about her being a person.

Well on that note, we'll take a five-minute intermission. I'm gonna look for sapphire myself. I'll try to run her down someplace

Welcome back to the second half of Summerslam here at the Spectrum in

Philadelphia. A capacity crowd out in the arena and here's what's coming your

way. As more World Wrestling Federation action continues Jake the Snake, Robert

Centamion to beat Bad News Brown plus 200 pounds of sewer rats. This man, the big

boss man, will be the special guest referee for that one. Brother Love to get a

In tag team action, Hacksaw, Jim Duggan, and Nikolai Volkov

to meet the Oriolexpress of Sato and Tanaka.

A one-on-one matchup, the American dream Dusty Rhodes

meets royalty in the Macho King.

Randy Savage, double main event.

Hulk Hogan, big boss bad at his corner

to meet Earthquake with Dino Bravo and Jimmy Hart

in his corner.

The other half.

of the gigantic main event at SummerSlam.

World Wrestling Federation champion,

the ultimate warrior in a 15-foot high steel cage

defends against ravishing Rick Rudd.

All right, as I just mentioned,

coming up, the match between Jake the Snake Roberts

and Bad News Brown.

Now, earlier today, we had an opportunity,

on be known to Bad News Brown,

to sneak into his dressing room

and get a look at his 200 pounds of Harlem sewer rats.

Take a look at this.

And while the Harlem sewer rats were contemplating their dinner, Damien...

Well, Damien was relaxing on winding in the shower.

With me now for his first mission, should he decide to accept it, is the big boss man

who will attempt as his special guest referee to uphold the letter of the law in the matchup

between Bad news Brown and Jake the Snake Robert.

Let me tell you something mean Gene, I will uphold the law and let me tell you something

else.

I'm not afraid of snakes because I've been dealing with snakes in one form or another

all my life and I'm not afraid of anything that comes from a sewer either because I've

Sure, it's a sleazy, slimy job, but somebody's got to do it.

And I'll be there in the end to see that justice prevails.

All right, we'll hear from the big boss man

a little bit later on.

But in the meantime, let's go to Sean Mooney.

Hello.

Ladies and gentlemen, as tensions continue to escalate in the Persian Gulf,

there is newfound harmony between the Soviet Union and the United States.

And what better evidence of that new friendship than this tag team assembled for the first time,

Exxon Jim Duggan and Nikolai Volkov.

A few weeks ago, Sean, when I presented Nikolai Volkov with the American flag,

I said I was proud to have him as a brother, a neighbor, and a friend.

But today, I'm prouder than ever to have him as a tag team partner.

I love this country, and I love Huxley Jim Duggan.

He's my idol, and together we'll be crucified,

the Orient Express.

But may I remind you, gentlemen, that the Orient Express

is managed by the nefarious Mr. Fuji,

who is himself a former co-holder of the tag team title,

and that no matter how good team members

may be in individual competition,

it's the collective efforts of a team

that often make the difference.

And in that regard, the Edgeman did go to the Orient Express.

Ha! Orient Express! This is an American Express! And don't leave your home without it!

With me now, ladies and gentlemen, the mouth of the South, Jimmy Hart, Canadian strongman,

Dino Bravo, and the only natural disaster in the World Wrestling Federation, the earthquake.

You got that right, Mean Jean.

There's going to be a disaster, and it's going to happen right here at SummerSlam.

The last time I came face to face with Hal Hogan, they carried him out on a stretcher.

and all the little Hulkamaniacs cried their little eyes out because they knew Hulkamania was dead.

But then the tugboat barged in and started rallying the Hulkamaniacs to send letters encouraging

Hulk Hogan to step back into the ring. Well, tonight Hulk Hogan makes the most foolish decision

And, Hogan, where is that guy who inspired all your little Hulkamaniacs?

Where is that guy who encouraged them to say their prayers?

I'll tell you where he is.

Right now, he's saying his prayers because he felt the generous dust like you did.

He knows what it feels like to feel the devastation of an earthquake and be carried out just like you.

But tonight, there'll be two stretches I recite, one for you, Hogan, and one for you, Big Boss Man.

Hercwink, you don't have to worry about the Big Boss Man or anyone else stupid enough to show up in Hulk Hogan's corner,

because I'll take care of them just like you'll take care of Hogan.

Baby, I guarantee you're all gonna get more than your money's worth,

because tonight, for the first time in World Wrestling Federation history, there'll be two str-

ring at the same time. I'm telling you now Gene you better put in a call to the

Red Cross and get the ambulances lined up because this is one earthquake that

you can predict and when it hits Hulkamania will crumble once and for all

into complete devastation.

Joining me now one of the premier wrestlers in the world wrestling federation Jake the snake Roberts now Jake gets well-founded

That bad news brown is afraid of snakes the question remains are you afraid of sewer rats?

You know my man. They don't call me the snake for nothing

Because Damien and I we have a lot in common, but how about you bad news?

you hang around with sewer rats what does that say about you but to answer your question Sean

I'm not afraid of rats no because I don't have to be you see Damien here is really hungry

yeah I know bad news says he hasn't fed his rats for weeks and they must have a voracious appetite

but I what I want to know bad news is just how hungry are you

Because that's exactly what it's going to come down to.

Hunker and hunger, that bad news,

is what separates a man like me from a mouse like you.

Let's go back to ringside.

Boy, oh boy, what a matchup this is going to be.

One ball currently in the ring from Harlem, New York.

Bad news, Roald!

Jake the Snake looked like something from Star Trek,

in the way that Snake was around him.

enough to eat the Harlem sewer rats or vice versa I've never seen a Harlem

sewer I'm kind of excited to see a Harlem sewer like you know what I get

tired of people telling like that

Take the snake!

Jake the Snake, long line, sort of a thinking men's roster.

Maddu's gonna set him up for the ghetto blaster, I believe.

Both of them going for the victory early,

both of them going for their best move early, you notice that?

Uh-oh, and that could very well begin to put a damper in the plans.

Kind of why I can't believe he's counting.

Why a cover there?

Shirley's read the book on Jake the Snake, he knows.

Wait a minute, little trouble brewing here.

the snake is allowed to put his hold on bad news brown it's gonna be curtains for

bad news brown nobody gets up after they have application of the DDT for words

to sewer rats up in the cage action on the outside now

Jake Desnick Roberts got to say news is controlling the match here.

It certainly is.

And Jake Desnick to the buckle.

My goodness.

Bad news brown.

That's what he sees at the moment.

News now.

You ever see him in the midsection?

You ever smelt bad news?

Smelling.

Chemical warfare again.

Oh, really?

Some say that snake stinks as well.

Wait a minute.

Jake was saying, I don't give up yet.

That's the way you say that in wrestling.

I think he just raised the eye of Bad News Brown,

who's still in control of this matchup.

Jack the snake again to whip to the block.

Well, that is going to take its toll.

Oh, my, clothesline and bad news, yes.

It's sensing victory right about now, I think.

I think he's trying to set him up for the get-up last year now.

He sees he's got him down, had him down for a while.

Unusual for bad news to go up on the ropes like that.

That's not a patent ruled by bad news.

And he misses by a mile.

Jack the snake was laying in the grass for him.

The snake needs to get up.

on Jake the Snake Roberts for the ride to the ropes coming off in.

Oh, nice, Neyler.

Jake now, yeah, there he goes.

Oh, snap.

Oh, snap laughs.

Rhymes up.

Bad news back.

What? Former?

That's you're the only re-

when I don't belong, and I'm gonna be a lot uglier

by the time we get finished with him.

You imposters are not gonna regret

the day you ever walked in the shadow of demolition.

And that shadow is gonna get a lot darker,

just like your filters, dark, bleak, and hopeless.

And that simply means you're never gonna forget

the name demolition, because we're gonna totally demolish him.

back to you all right thank you

indeed demolition very very

angry and certainly looking

forward to the opportunity of

locking up soon with the legion

of doom

this award, I found that America had become weak.

America has become sore.

But then I looked into the WWF.

The Sargent Slaughter Great American Award.

And that man, Brother Love,

is the greatest American standing next to me today that I know.

And that person is you, Brother Love.

Big surprise here.

When you all along, he was going to receive this.

If you don't like this country so much, Iraq is looking for good men.

Yeah, and saluting one another.

into your earth, but Nikolai Volkov,

that won't help you one bit, because you're gonna be weak and soft.

Just like America, and brother love,

if war could break out tomorrow in the Middle East,

After that remark, I'll tell you that.

Oh, give me a break.

Standing by, Sean Mooney.

Let's take you over to Sean.

With me now, the Orient Express manager, Mr. Fuji,

along with Sato and Tanaka.

To superpower the USA and the USSR,

come together again.

Honorable, Japanese, know-how.

This one from USA,

Hacksaw Duggan,

After a match, you have two crossings.

Aye.

This one from USS Valkov.

Sapphire!

Well, ladies and gentlemen, we know one thing.

Sweet Sapphire is safe behind this door.

I think we can all breathe a big sigh of relief,

including the American dream Dusty Rhodes

and myself as well as millions of fans

here in the World Wrestling Federation.

I don't know about these wild rumors

that sensational Queen Sherry alluded to.

Maybe we can track them down

and try to get some credence to those statements.

But in the meantime, Sapphire!

Sapphire!

Well, apparently, she doesn't want to talk to us right now,

but as soon as I do hear from her,

we'll bring you up to date.

In the meantime, let's go out into the arena.

All right, we're back in the Ori expresses with us.

It's not the first time Oakland has a doorslam

in the nation.

Maybe not.

A cod of memory with their editor, Mr.

I can't believe sapphire wouldn't stop and have a conversation with you know

Everybody's been looking for sapphire since this afternoon

Maybe she's afraid of the mutant rats

The only ant

Express

The aurean express and it does

You thought it would be good?

Oh boy.

Wait a minute.

What?

Drop missing with it, Rownhouse, and, my, waving from behind.

Saddle to the top, down.

And a big rush in.

Four drop having his problems, double team effort now.

The Orient Express needs to work as a tag team if they're gonna stand a chance

against these guys.

They need to corner-

trying to get a hold of Sapphire behind that door.

During the course of this last match,

I have been vigilantly standing guard here,

waiting to hear from sweet Sapphire, Dusty.

You know, I don't know what's wrong with Sapphire.

Sapphire, you've never been like this, you know?

I need it in my corner, I need it out there.

I'm worried, I'm worried sick,

worried sick about this thing.

Sapphire, come on out, baby.

I'll tell you one thing, that's something going down here.

I got to go to my match, if I have to by myself,

I will, but the bottom line when it's over.

I'm coming back and getting to the bottom of this thing.

I got to go, G.

I don't blame you, the American dream, Dusty Rhodes,

a very befuddled, puzzled, and confused Dusty Rhodes

on his way to the ring.

Let's get back out to the arena.

The wrestling federation won't scale any height to get the story.

No to little sarcasm and a lack of respect for the Macho King.

Well Macho King, Randy Savage, it is now apparent that your opponent Dusty Rhodes will be unaccompanied

as he makes his way to the ring tonight.

Oh, well then the rumors must be true, huh?

Rumors?

What rumors?

Claim safer for not wanting to associate herself with a commoner the rest of her life.

Understand that, Dusty Rhodes, I wonder if you're what our forefathers had in mind when

In fact, Philadelphia's own Benjamin Franklin must be doing somersaults in the pike position in his grave.

Thinking about you, Dusty Rhodes, and speaking of grave situations,

the squared circle is where I'm going to lay in arrest.

One, two, three, sensational Queen Sherry.

There are zillions of commoners and peasants all over the world

waiting to catch a glimpse of the Macho King.

And let's not disappoint him another split second.

Lead the way.

your humiliation, and if there's ever been a doubt in your mind or

in anybody else's mind, that what I say isn't true.

Then I want you to feast your eyes on my latest purchase.

Fuck, lock stock and metal.

Here she is, the sweet Sapphire.

I guess Sapphire certainly had her price, and that explains what a heck of a loss.

Take a long hard look, open that bag, Sapphire, showing.

Take a look, Rhodes, it's a whole bag full of money.

Who do you think gave her a bag full of money, Dusty?

Who do you think bought this fur coat, bought this diamond bracelet,

bought this diamond necklace, diamond ring?

around the world, and I can't lie, who but the million dollar man could afford to do it.

But don't be upset, Dusty.

Don't be upset with Srinsepa.

Because she didn't do anything that any of you wouldn't do.

She had her price, just like all of you.

for the Million Dollar Man and Dusty Rhodes, what are you gonna do about it?

This has nothing to do with women.

It has everything to do with the million-dollar men.

Ted DiBiase apparently thinking that everyone has a price.

No, no, no, that wouldn't have happened if Sapphire had been there.

Yes, there's no question that the Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase,

wanted to humiliate Dusty Rhodes, and I believe did in fact just that.

So is the Macho Man.

Yes, at the moment, now if you're Dusty Rhodes.

He seems confused right now, why isn't he going for the kill?

Well, certainly he has to be confused when everything has gone down.

Here this afternoon and tonight, he was looking for Sapphire hot and

low, as he said, all over the place.

If he's a true professional, he's gotta make adjustments.

She just handed the Macho King something.

She's in the ring now.

Uh-oh, wait a minute.

Dusty Rhodes with Sapphire.

No relevant sensational Queen Sherry.

Oh, that's just me, right?

Man, look at that.

That could be it.

What was that?

Rhodes is not moving.

made those startling announcements I tried to follow him back he was too quick

for me now he's in his private suites but I've also noticed in the meantime his

limousine has pulled into the driveway here I'm anticipating then them coming

out any minute now the million dollar man Ted here's Virgil now this entourage

excuse me million dollar man Ted TV Ossi would you answer a few questions about

this situation Ted TV Ossi what is sapphire doing with you

Excuse me, Ted DiBiase could-

Listen, Pion, I want you to take a long hard look and learn an important lesson.

There's nothing, absolutely nothing, that my money can't buy.

As a million dollar man, Ted DiBiase, and Sapphire leave in the limousine,

the last Dusty Rhodes could not stop the car.

And we leave a very distressed American dream.

Back to you, Vince.

Well, what was he gonna do if he got there soon?

Play in front of the car?

At least get an explanation.

This is the only man who have ever knocked Hulk Hogan out of action for any length of time at all.

The earthquake in there with Jimmy Huck.

Oh my.

Earthquake.

Starting the Trimmers already.

Standing by.

Let's take you over to Eugene.

All right.

With me now ladies and gentlemen.

in his corner announced just a few days ago, The Big Boss Man.

Here we go, Hulkster.

You know something, earthquake.

I remember what it felt like to be underneath your massive frame as you came

crashing down on my rib cage.

And I also remember you, Dino Bravo, and Jimmy Hart,

lashing out loud as they rolled me out in that stretcher man.

I remember the tears in the eyes of all my little Hulksters,

wondering if this was really the end of Hulkamania.

But most of all, I remember the outpouring of all my Halkomaniacs,

all their cards, man, all their letters, and thank God for all their prayers.

And I also remember the man who was leading the charge of all my Hulkamaniacs.

The big bad tugboat.

You know something, earthquake?

The memory is still fresh in my mind of you and

Dino Bravo double teaming the tugboat.

Making sure he wouldn't be in my corner here at SummerSlam.

And that's why we're dedicating this match tonight to the tugster.

And it's also why your plan's not gonna work, earthquake.

Because I'm not going into the ring on my own tonight.

I've got the big boss man on my side, making sure that justice will be served.

Let me tell you something earthquake, Dino Bravo, Jimmy Hart.

This is Philadelphia, where many of the rights of the people were first formulated.

But the only rights you three are entitled to are the right to be beaten into silence.

The right to have millions of fans present during that beating.

And the right to a swift and impartial trial with Justice Judge Hogan presiding.

Founding fathers would be mighty proud.

You know something that's right, Manejean.

Another chapter in American history will be written tonight.

And just as Thomas, boss man Jefferson,

stood at the side of George Washington Hogan

as I chopped down the cherry tree with the 24s Pythons,

will chop you down earthquake.

And the holster never tells a lie.

So what's it gonna do when the holster and the big boss man

pass their constitutional rights onto you?

For this one, Vince, let's get back to you.

Wow.

Yeah, what a match up that's just gonna be, and here we go.

This is the first time of our double man event.

And this contest is scheduled for one.

That's a big man in there, and an agile man as well.

Warthog, calling the Warthog if you would.

Wow, that surprised even the Hulkster charging back up and back down again.

A strong Warthog.

Yeah, very strong.

And from the looks of Hulk Hogan's physique I would say he

around the Tudor in 87 pound mark, somewhere in there.

I didn't hear what his weight was announced at.

We might have trained-

We actually went down in weight for this match.

We might have trained lean for endurance.

Look at that, one hand he had to hoax her up.

And, oh, shoulder block.

I think maybe the hoaxer should regroup.

He is, he's outside.

He has to rethink his strategy here.

to the strategy of the Hoekster.

I don't think so.

I think he's confused.

I think that he knows he's got a big chore ahead of him

and he's feeling his way through right now.

He does not know what his next step is going to be.

He's going to play it by ear.

That's a little dangerous to do that.

Yeah, you should deal with your fist.

But if your strategy is no good,

you have to do something.

We'd never know.

Honkster to the buckle, that'll take something out of him, yes.

Submission right here.

It's going to try it again.

Because he's going to win that intercontinental title back.

Let me now, ladies and gentlemen, Bobby the Brain,

Heenan, and ravishing Rick Rood.

Hey!

I know, the next World Wrestling Federation champion.

That's exactly right.

You know, Philadelphia is ripe with history.

Well, it was right here at the spectrum

that the Italian stallion, Rocky Balboa,

made his way into the ring to face

a seemingly invincible Apollo Creed.

But let me tell you, that was Hollywood.

This is reality.

But like it does so many times art imitates life and your life is about to change ultimate warrior

Because you know nothing about a steel cage match. It's my kind of match

I've got the advantage and tonight warrior you won't be able to run and you won't be able to hide

After you make your entrance and this steel cage door is slammed behind you. It will symbolically seal your

And I will become the next World Wrestling Federation champion.

And take my rightful place outside the spectrum next to the statue of Rocky Balboa.

You see, warrior, ravishing Rick Roode beats you before.

And tonight, he's gonna beat you again.

But this time, it's gonna be inside of a steel cage.

The most grueling match in the World Wrestling Federation.

There are two ways to win.

The first man out of the cage or pin your opponent.

and anything goes, and when it's all over, warrior,

there won't be anything left of you.

There won't be any sequels either.

No Rocky II, III, or IV.

And there ain't gonna be no rematch.

All right, from Sean Mooney and Vincent Roddy

up at the broadcast booth.

I gotta tell you this summer slam everything that it's cracked up to be with that great match

We've just seen and of course two title changes earlier on in the night

One of the saddest things I've seen however Dusty Rhodes your walk down that tunnel here at the spectrum a very

Dejected and despondent man after what happened with sapphire what I call a genius emotion

This great sport and the world wrestling Federation is built on

emotion

sapphire

from the stomp.

Rhodes himself now our broadcast colleague out on the arena floor Lord

Alfred Hayes. Thank you Gene as you can see I'm standing here by the ringside

and very shortly we'll have this ring completely erected and ready for a

fantastic match. A little while ago I was speaking to the ring cage

construction manager and he told me that he streamlined his crew especially to

have a go at their own personal record. In fact it's eight minutes and 42

wheels you'll have to see. Now this streamline crew consists of 12 carriers, five very experienced

directors inside the ring, and the ring itself consists of eight sections. Each one of those sections

weighs 350 pounds. There's 12 interconnected poles and there's a lot more hard steel in this ring.

All together the whole thing weighs just a shade over 3,000 pounds. Now

This ring has a two-fold purpose, this cage, I should say,

and the main one of those purposes is to keep the two men inside.

Very shortly, we're going to see two men battling under those brutal conditions.

And now my colleague is standing by being Gene O'Callone.

All right, thank you, Lord Alfred Hayes.

Oh, come on in.

Hulk Hogan, hot on the heels of victory here at Summer Slam tonight.

What a power.

House of a match between you and earthquake, but I don't know Hulk if it's been said you something mean gene

The only thing left to do brother is the kickstart my wide-eyed brother

under the ape hangers and with the largest arms in the world,

man, ride, ride up to Jack Tunney's office, brother.

Let him know that the Hulkamaniacs

realize they're still the strongest power

in the world, brother, in Jack Tunney.

I just want you to know, dude, they're

building new buildings all the way around the country.

New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Africa, Asia,

North Pole, South Pole, it all points in between, brother,

and the new buildings being gene.

Earthquake proof because I'm gonna take this big fat dude and I'm gonna drag him all the way around the country brother

I'm gonna beat him in each and every arena until jack tiny puts me right back where I belong in the number one contender spot brother

Well, Hulk Hogan, in all due respect, my friend,

I think you're there already.

I'll tell you what, a strong, strong outing

for you against this mammoth earthquake.

We know something, Gene.

I felt the love of the Hulkamaniacs, brother.

The 400,000 cards and letters in just a few short weeks

proved, man, that this thing's going to last forever.

And now, Hulkamaniacs, this is the decade

of the Little Hulksters, brother.

And now, there are four demandments.

Four demandments.

Train.

Eat your vitamins and believe in yourself, brother.

If you believe in yourself like you made me believe in myself,

you can get anything you want.

And right now, I'm getting a new nine foot gun made, brother.

A brand new surfboard with a two and a half foot skate.

And I'm going to go out to Venice Beach

and I'm going to chase each and every shark I can find.

And when I find the biggest wave I can find,

I'm going to catch that tidal wave, brother.

I said, tidal wave.

And I'm going to ride it right to the top.

Whatcha gonna do, WWF, earthquake, and jack-tunny, and anybody else in my way?

All right, Hulk Hogan, I thank you very much, Vince, Roddy, let's get back to you, oh my!

All right. Well, we thank you very much being Jane in the hoax. You're no doubt on a tear

Feels like he has a lot of momentum I guess now and looking forward to perhaps yet another outing with the earthquake

I think that he felt the earthquake

I think that he got in there and he did his best with him and he found out one thing the earthquake is human

He's huge, but he's human and I do think that he would like another shot at him

And what about the earthquake? I would assume the earthquake would very much enjoy held them

Let him go the earthquake does not does not deny any kind of physical pain

He's in there to take it and he's in there to take it and give it

All right talk about physical pain that would bring us a course to our next matchup

You know the steel cage main event hot rod World Wrestling Federation champion ultimate warrior in there against the man who defeated him once before

Ravishing Rick rude, you know whoever invented going over the steel cages like putting sharks in in a swimming pool. It's fun for the spectators

It's a nightmare for the fans

I say, Root takes it, Root's got the most experience.

Let's go to Sean Mooney.

Come on, come on, man.

Earthquake, you just heard the comments of Hulk Hogan.

He spoke of the future of Hulkamania.

He certainly proved tonight it is alive and well.

Hogan, I'm not finished with you yet.

The war has just begun, and it's not only you, Hogan,

I'm coming for you too!

What you did to me!

What you did!

Be on my back!

This is revenge!

And I'm gonna get it!

On both of you!

Hogan!

I'm not running away from you!

Any time!

Anywhere!

That quake will be there!

Earthquake, you imposed two earthquakes on Hulk Hogan,

yet it didn't stop him.

It wasn't enough tonight.

I don't know what Hogan's been doing.

But it's obviously work tonight, but next time I'll inflict more damage before I give him the earthquake.

And next time you won't be walking out Hogan.

get your earthquake insurance hogan you better get it nothing's gonna stop the

earthquake jimmy had a lot of predictions tonight

it didn't pan out either with dino bravo at ringside

boxman was out there with a stick and a steel chair

and the steel could stop the earthquake nobody's gonna stop the earthquake

hogan you're gonna pay it's only the beginning

Clearly, it is not over yet between the earthquake and Hulk Hogan.

Let's go back to ringside, Vince.

All right, indeed, wow.

I guess it's not over.

But it's only the beginning here for our steel cage main event.

And standing by, I believe right now,

mean Gene Oakland and his guest will be the champion.

to be standing in the presence of the World Wrestling Federation champion, the Ultimate Warrior.

Do you know what Rick Root and Bobby Einen have in common with the Liberty Bell?

Well, no.

One is cracked and the other is a ding dong.

Ultimate warrior, your destiny lies before you.

Just as our forefathers trudged straight into the unknown,

so you two must take another step in your reign

as the World Wrestling Federation champion

into a virtual unknown.

That being a 15-foot-high steel cage.

And you take that trek knowing full well

that the man you meet inside the cage

has once before defeated you.

We're in the course of human events.

it becomes necessary to protect my inevitable right to be the World Wrestling Federation champion.

I must do what our forefathers have always done, never afraid to face an adversary,

always willing to step into a new frontier, always willing to make a sacrifice, and you regret-

will not be able to prevent the establishment of a more perfect union between me and my warriors.

For the sacrifice that we are prepared to make against an adversary is far greater than anything you could ever know!

We don't fear the unknown of a new frontier recruit.

We revel in it!

It is these things that are the lifeblood of the ultimate nation.

And it is these things that are the lifeblood of the ultimate warrior.

Well, ladies and gentlemen...

Baby!

This contest is for the World Wrestling Federation Championship.

And it will be contested within the confines of this 15 foot high steel cage.

The rules are simple, victory will be attained by that individual who can pin

his opponent or exit the cage through the door or over the top and onto the floor.

Well, that's for the sepals, but that's for the town center.

Yeah, let's get out.

in that case.

He's putting some wire in there.
