Saturday Night's Main Event
04/10/86 (Taped 13/09/86)
Richfield, Ohio
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.
