Hulk Hogan defeated Paul Orndorff in a good steel cage match with great heat to retain the WWF Heavyweight Title. Hogan and Orndorff left the cage at the same time with Joey Marella declaring Hogan the winner and heel referee insisting Orndorff had won. Hogan won the bout after a restart to end the feud... The rest of the show was pretty poor. Intercontinental Champion Randy Savage pinned George Steele after hitting him with the ring bell. Ricky Steamboat made his return early in the bout to distract Savage. The match was dire but there was good heat... Junkyard Dog beat Harley Race by disqualification in a match that was more about angle advancement. JYD head butted referee Danny Davis after the match... Adrian Adonis defeated Roddy Piper by count out in a short, nothing match after spraying him in his eyes with perfume... Blackjack Mulligan pinned Jimmy Jack Funk in a dreadful match.

Intercontinental Champion Randy Savage fought Jake Roberts to a double disqualification in a decent bout. Vince McMahon and Jesse Ventura played it off like two hated heels were in battle but the crowd were clearly behind Roberts... We were shown footage of Slick selling Hercules to Bobby Heenan... Hulk Hogan defeated Hercules to retain the WWF Heavyweight Title in a straight forward Hogan-formula match. The crowd was of course hot... Bob Orton Jr claimed he was used by Roddy Piper in an interview with Ventura... Piper pinned Orton in a match that could've been good but was quite short. Once again the crowd was hot... The Killer Bees beat The Hart Foundation in a really good match. The Harts dominated until The Bees donned masks to perform an illegal switch and win the bout. I thought it was the heels who were meant to be the cheats? ... Koko B Ware pinned Nikolai Volkoff in a short, rubbish match... Don Muraco beat Dick Slater in an awful contest.

Jesse Ventura returned on commentary... Roddy Piper was told by a doctor he couldn't wrestle due to an injury suffered recently at the hands of Adrian Adonis and Don Muraco. Piper went nuts... Hulk Hogan beat Paul Orndorff by disqualification to retain the WWF Heavyweight Title. Orndorff had famously turned on Hogan back in July. This was a decent enough brawl with great heat. Adonis ran in to prevent Hogan hitting a piledriver on Orndorff for the DQ finish. Piper hobbled down and nailed Adonis with a crutch. Orndorff bailed before Hogan and Piper had a brief stare down... Ricky Steamboat defeated Jake Roberts in a "Snake Pit" match (no disqualification basically). Roberts had Damien the python in his corner while Steamboat had his Komodo dragon in his corner. They had a good little match with intensity and a nice pace. Steamboat won with a crucifix pin which even Vince McMahon pointed out was a fast count. The pets had an embarrassing 'showdown' after the match which the dragon 'won'... Pedro Morales was about to take on the Iron Sheik in place of Piper but Piper hobbled down and insisted on wrestling. The injured Piper then beat Sheik with a small package in less than a minute. Bad night for the Sheik... The British Bulldogs defeated The Dream Team in a best two out of three falls match (2:1) to retain the World Tag Team Title. Greg Valentine beat Davey Boy Smith clean with the figure four. Dynamite Kid then pinned Valentine with a diving headbutt off of Smith's shoulders. Smith then scored the winning fall with a fisherman's suplex on Brutus Beefcake. It was a good match but not quite to the level of their Wrestlemania scrap... Finally Kamala beat Lanny Poffo in a naff two minute squash.

Results

Ricky Steamboat pinned Jake Roberts (6:22) **3/4

Bobby Heenan substituted for Jesse Ventura in the announce booth for this show... Hulk Hogan and Junkyard Dog beat Terry and Hoss Funk in a wild tag team brawl that was lots of fun. Hogan pinned Terry after the leg drop. The crowd were hot for this... King Kong Bundy scored an easy win over Uncle Elmer in a predictably awful match... Adrian Adonis, who was wearing a dress, defeated Paul Orndorff by disqualification when Orndorff shoved the referee down in anger. The match wasn't much of anything... Gene Okerlund interviewed Hulk Hogan in the empty arena (taped before the show) reflecting on his Wrestlemania match with Bundy... Jake Roberts versus Ricky Steamboat did not take place as Roberts attacked Steamboat before the bell giving him a DDT on the concrete floor which looked devastating... World Tag Team Champions the British Bulldogs defeated Nikolai Volkoff and Iron Sheik in a best two out of three falls match. Davey Boy Smith submitted to the Camel Clutch in about 90 seconds but came back to pretty much win the match on his own as Dynamite Kid was injured according to Vince McMahon. A good match though which the crowd were really in to.

Results
Hulk Hogan & The Junkyard Dog def Terry Funk & Hoss Funk by pinfall (10:19) ***
King Kong Bundy pinned Uncle Elmer (2:33) DUD

Somebody obviously decided that the Saturday night light entertainment segments weren't working and from here on the show reverted to the tried and tested formula of promos and matches... After various hype videos and promos Mr T defeated Bob Orton Jr by count out in a rubbish worked boxing match which was mildly entertaining in terms of comedy. It did work well as an angle to set up Mr T versus Roddy Piper at Wrestlemania II... King Kong Bundy squashed Steve Gatorwolf and challenged Hulk Hogan... Hulk Hogan beat Don Muraco by disqualification to retain the WWF Heavyweight Title when Bobby Heenan interfered. Heenan was managing Muraco for the night in place of Mr Fuji who was "unwell". Fuji was shown backstage with an ice pack on top of his hat. Bundy attacked Hogan after the match with multiple Avalanches and splashes until other babyfaces ran to his aid. Hogan was taken away on a stretcher. This was a good angle to build towards the Hogan/Bundy cage match at Wrestlemania... The Dream Team defeated The British Bulldogs in a good match to retain the World Tag Team Title.  Greg Valentine fell on top of Dynamite Kid after a collision for a lucky victory. The two teams would meet again at Wrestlemania... Hulk Hogan's hilariously bad Real American music video aired for the first time... Junkyard Dog pinned Adrian Adonis after Jimmy Hart accidentally hit his own man with the megaphone. The match was pretty poor but the crowd was hot. Having gained so much weight Adonis looked really embarrassing at this stage of his career... A doctor confirmed Hogan had suffered cracked ribs and other internal injuries as a result of Bundy's attack.

Results
Mr T def Bob Orton Jr by count out in a Boxing Match (4:30) 1/2
King Kong Bundy pinned Steve Gatorwolf (0:40) SQ

Bobby Heenan replaced Jesse Ventura in the commentary booth for the opening contest. Roddy Piper, Bob Orton Jr and Jesse Ventura beat Uncle Elmer, Hillbilly Jim and Cousin Luke by referee stoppage. It wasn't bad for a bit of a fun match... Jimmy Hart challenged Junkyard Dog to a water slide race at a Tampa water park, which Hart lost. Ventura interviewed Terry Funk in the pool ahead of his title match with Hulk Hogan. This was all a bit daft... Hulk Hogan pinned Terry Funk to retain the WWF Heavyweight Title in a really entertaining brawl. Hogan won with the Axe Bomber clothesline... Back at the water park Randy Savage was teaching Elizabeth how to swim, by shoving her in the pool... Randy Savage defeated George "The Animal" Steele in an awful match refereed by a young Dean Malenko... Nikolai Volkoff pinned Corporal Kirschner in a "Peace Match" which was meant to be a clean wrestling contest. Volkoff won after using some slightly heelish tactics. It wasn't very good... Junkyard Dog and Ricky Steamboat beat Don Muraco and Mr Fuji in another nothing match when JYD headbutted Fuji.

Roddy Piper, Bob Orton Jr & Jesse Ventura def Hillbilly Jim, Uncle Elmer & Cousin Luke by referee stoppage (7:25) **1/4
