00:00The recognized symbol of excellence in sports entertainment.
00:05The superstars of wrestling is on the air.
00:14Hello everyone.
00:15Vince the Fan at ringside along with Bruno Sammartino, wrestling's living legend.
00:19And joining us, the most colorful, Jesse the Body Ventura with his sometimes biased commentary.
00:25Stand by everyone, we have lots of action headed your way.
00:30This week on the superstars of wrestling as we get ready for the big night.
00:59The superstars of wrestling as we promised you the intercontinental title matchup.
01:03Yes indeed, the dragon Ricky Steamboat, the challenger to meet the champion.
01:08This man, the macho man, Randy Savage, what a matchup that will be.
01:12Plus, joining us as well this week, the junkyard dog, along with the results of the voting
01:18that you have cast your vote, yay or nay, and Jesse Ventura will have that result of
01:24a honky tonk man.
01:26Oh wonderful, Paul Orndorfer joining us along with the six man tag team matchup.
01:30We'll see Hillbilly Jim, Tito Santana, and Pedro Morales meet, yes, the tag team combination
01:38of Valentine Beefcake and Johnny V.
01:41Earlier on we heard from Ricky the Dragon Steamboat about his opportunity to wrestle
01:45for the intercontinental championship.
01:47Hello everyone, I've got the opportunity of a lifetime.
01:50Being able to wrestle macho man Randy Savage for the intercontinental championship on
01:55national television, millions of viewers.
01:58Mr. Savage, you can bet that I'm going to be giving you my best shot.
02:04Ladies and gentlemen, this contest is for the intercontinental heavyweight championship.
02:12It is scheduled for one fall.
02:16Coming down the aisle, escorted by the manager, Elizabeth, from Sarasota, Florida,
02:24weighing 239 pounds, the intercontinental heavyweight champion, Randy Macho Man Savage!
02:39Oh my.
02:42Now wait a minute, there are two referees in there.
02:44What's going on?
02:45There are two referees in there, Jess.
02:47I don't know, we've got two competent WWF officials, Danny Davidson and Dave Hebner in there.
02:54Maybe they've assigned two referees for the intercontinental matchup.
02:57I'd love to see that one.
02:59That would be interesting.
03:04A little discussion going on here.
03:06I would be surprised though to see Steamboat agree to a two-referee situation.
03:11Well, it looks like it's one referee.
03:13A little mix-up here.
03:14And thank goodness that it's going to be Dave Hebner and not Danny Davis as the official.
03:20His opponent, the challenger, from Hawaii, weighing 237 pounds, Ricky The Dragon Steamboat!
03:38Standing ovation for this, one of the most extraordinary athletes in the World Wrestling Federation today,
03:46The Dragon, Ricky Steamboat!
03:49Well, I'll tell you, McMahon, to me it's another first for the World Wrestling Federation.
03:54I cannot believe that they would put a match like this on television.
03:59What an ovation for Steamboat!
04:03The noise almost deafening.
04:08I mean, you've got two of the greatest athletes in the world in that ring right now.
04:13Look at the physique on this man.
04:17Taking nothing at all away from the physique of the Macho Man.
04:23And it's all up for grabs.
04:25Intercontinental Championship.
04:29And Elizabeth must be a little bit nervous, I would think.
04:31I'm sure she is, you know, but it's got to be the Macho Man's advantage,
04:34because I'm sure Steamboat's never seen a lady quite like her.
04:37He could be distracted.
04:41Ah, look at that quick move.
04:43Locking up now for the first time to the ropes.
04:45I'm pumped up for this match.
04:46I am too.
04:48Ooh, these two want to go at it.
04:49Referee Dave Hebner with a little admonition there.
04:56And I would guess since Hebner's refereeing, you and San Martino won't be giving out any excuses.
05:01None whatsoever. Look at that maneuver!
05:05Our wrestling fans in Worcester, Massachusetts, an area of there,
05:08should be aware of the fact that on the Monday night, date of December 1st,
05:12a week from Monday, the Centrum will come alive with World Wrestling Federation action.
05:16The ladies champion in town with a title defense referring to the fabulous Moolah.
05:20You'll see the Hurt Foundation and the Macho Man, Randy Savage,
05:24in town, in Worcester, Mass., at the Centrum, Monday, December 1st.
05:31Savage now with a hurl to the corner.
05:35Savage in control in the moment.
05:37Steamboat, but no! Steamboat up on the buckle!
05:40A leap!
05:42Through the legs! Scoop! A slam! Steamboat a cover!
05:46One! We get two! Oh my!
05:48Arm drag takedown by the Dragon!
05:50This place is electric!
05:52And let me tell you something, the Dragon is really going in deep with those arm drags.
05:56You see how far under he gets McMahon in snapping the Macho Man over.
06:01Macho Man!
06:03You wonder what's going on. Maybe a little shred of doubt in the Macho Man's mind right now.
06:08Hey, the Macho Man ducks no one, McMahon.
06:10If Steamboat's in line for the title, then the title shot he'll get from the Macho Man.
06:15Handful of hair by the Macho Man, Savage.
06:18Come on, ref, get in there.
06:20Elizabeth looking on.
06:25To the ropes now, Macho Man with a shoulder block.
06:27Macho Man with a shoulder block. To the ropes again.
06:29And back another shoulder block.
06:31Off the ropes for the third time, stepping over Steamboat.
06:33Right back, leap frog by the Dragon.
06:35And right back at him, arm drag!
06:39That has to be slowing down the Macho Man.
06:42Oh, it definitely is, McMahon. I'm not going to say that it's not.
06:46Hey, Steamboat's the number one contender for the Intercontinental title.
06:52Macho Man.
06:53Handful of hair again.
06:55However, the Dragon adding up.
06:58Oh, Dave Hebner warning the Macho Man about the hair pull.
07:06There he goes again. Come on.
07:09Hey, Hebner's getting the break he's asking for.
07:14Macho Man, face first moment to go to the buckle.
07:20The Dragon, Ricky Steamboat, receiving more punishment.
07:24Careful knee drop there.
07:27Another two there. Oh, no.
07:30This could be a bit early.
07:32Macho Man on the top rope.
07:34Fix his move.
07:35No. How about that?
07:37I'll tell you, that was a gutsy move, McMahon,
07:39because I really wasn't sure Macho Man had steamboat.
07:42Oh, no, a cover! To it!
07:45Hey, now why do you say, oh, no, cover?
07:48If Macho Man beats him legally, let's be unbiased out here.
07:53Count of two, and a fair count.
07:55That's right, but I don't want to hear no, oh, no, a cover out here.
08:00You got two tremendous athletes in there.
08:04Nice reversal, Savage now!
08:07Fly, buddy, pass!
08:08No! One, two!
08:11Oh-ho-ho-ho.
08:13A blocked right hand.
08:15And the Dragon is all over the Macho Man.
08:18Savage whipped to the buckle.
08:20Here comes the Dragon.
08:21A little slow.
08:23Well, the Macho Man a little too quick, one or the other.
08:27Well, I'll tell you, this has been give and take both ways the entire bout right now.
08:34Macho Man, Randy Savage.
08:36No! What?
08:38The Macho Man whipped to the buckle,
08:40and is now suffering the consequences.
08:43And it's the Dragon out on the apron.
08:45The Dragon, Ricky Steamboat, to the top rope.
08:49What's going to happen?
08:54We could have a new champion.
08:57He's not going for a pin.
08:58I don't understand that.
09:04Savage tried to escape.
09:06Why didn't Steamboat go for a pin there?
09:10I don't know, but Steamboat whipped to the outside now.
09:13Steamboat, back up.
09:14Shoulder block.
09:15Catches the Macho Man.
09:17Look at this.
09:18Over the hip.
09:19If he gets him down, he's the champion.
09:22Doesn't quite nail it.
09:24Brilliant maneuver.
09:25Did you see the Macho Man grab that top rope,
09:27which stopped him from going over?
09:30Steamboat over the top rope.
09:33Macho Man.
09:34Look at that.
09:35Steamboat coming back.
09:37The Dragon.
09:38All right.
09:39New champion.
09:40Coming up.
09:41Count on that.
09:42Week two.
09:43No.
09:46Elbow by the Macho Man.
09:49I thought for sure Ricky Steamboat was going to be champion just a moment ago.
09:54Well, you saw it wrong.
09:57Big prop.
09:58Look at.
09:59Hold up.
10:00Dave Hedner was knocked senseless by the Macho Man.
10:06The Dragon, Ricky Steamboat, on his way to the top rope.
10:10What's he going to do?
10:12Fly body press.
10:15Has him hooked.
10:17Has him cradled.
10:20Wait.
10:21One.
10:22Two.
10:23Wait a minute.
10:28That's Danny Davis.
10:29Danny Davis is coming in to take the place of David Hebner.
10:35What's going on here?
10:40Hebner was all right.
10:43Danny Davis, seeing the referee down, came back from the dressing room.
10:48Well, I know, but that's all right.
10:50But Hebner had recovered.
10:53No, obviously he hadn't.
10:56Steamboat.
10:57Oh, no.
10:58The top of that railing struck his throat.
11:03Dave Hebner's back in the ring.
11:05He's making his count right here.
11:10The Dragon, Ricky Steamboat.
11:13Out on the outside.
11:15He's hurt.
11:17Oh, man.
11:18I don't believe this.
11:20The Macho Man.
11:21Now, getting down from there.
11:23From the top rope.
11:30Steamboat's grabbing his throat.
11:37I don't think.
11:40Looks like he's trying to swallow his tongue.
11:43Well, I believe they've counted out the Dragon.
11:48That would be my guess, anyway.
11:50I don't know.
11:51We're going to have to get a decision of some sort here.
11:56What is going on here?
12:00What?
12:01He's got the bell.
12:05Whoa.
12:10Steamboat can't breathe.
12:18Keep that animal away from him.
12:24Come on.
12:25Steamboat can't breathe.
12:27Get.
12:31Get the belt.
12:33Macho's going up again.
12:38Get the doctor.
12:39Somebody's got to do something here.
12:45Steamboat is turning purple.
12:52He may have swallowed his tongue.
12:53That's an awful thing to say.
12:55This man is hurt.
12:56He's hurt severely.
12:58Steamboat is hurt severely.
13:06They've got the medical crew in there for Steamboat.
13:11Well, it's obvious Macho Man Savage must be the winner of the bout.
13:15Winner.
13:16Oh, no.
13:17Oh, come on.
13:18Keep him up.
13:20Keep him up.
13:21Keep him up.
13:22Keep him up.
13:23Keep him up.
13:24Keep him up.
13:25Keep him up.
13:27Keep him up.
13:29Keep him up.
13:39Hurry up.
13:40Steamboat is breathing.
13:41Steamboat.
13:42He can't breathe.
13:43Look at that.
13:44He can't breathe.
13:47All right.
13:48Let's go back and see some of these actions here by the Macho Man Savage.
13:53Up on the top rope.
13:56And look at this, Jesse.
13:58Well, I'll tell you, McMahon.
13:59I've never seen this move done before.
14:01Look at the length of that leap.
14:03Coming down.
14:05Catching Steamboat.
14:07Had to swallow his tongue, right?
14:09No, his tongue ain't swallowed.
14:10It's sticking out right there.
14:12But he can't breathe.
14:13And then from there, look at this.
14:16Right into the throat.
14:17Again, right into the throat.
14:20What's he trying to do?
14:21Well, it's obviously what he's trying to do.
14:23He's eliminating Ricky the Dragon.
14:25Steamboat is the number one contender.
14:28That man should be barred.
14:30That man should be eliminated in his own right.
14:32Look at this.
14:33Well, I'll tell you all.
14:34I could say very aggressive on the part of Savage.
14:36Here you see Steamboat being carried.
14:38Literally carried from the ring.
14:41From there, the man is gasping for breath.
14:45He just rides right off the stretcher.
14:47Look at it.
14:48Right on down.
14:49Still just gasping for breath.
14:50He can't breathe.
14:51Do you know what it's like not to breathe?
14:52Well, all I can say is it's incompetency
14:54on the part of those paramedics there.
14:57Don't you agree?
14:58The indignity suffered by Steamboat
15:01is still clutching his throat.
15:04On his way back now
15:06to receive medical attention,
15:08this man was hurt and hurt severely.
15:11They shouldn't keep him down like that.
15:13He's trying to lean up to get breath.
15:15Look, you can't breathe.
15:17If you have an obstruction in your throat,
15:18you can't breathe when you're laying down.
15:20Well, not to make light of the whole thing, McMahon,
15:22but I don't think he's going to be able to
15:24talk about it for quite a while.
15:27A macho man, Randy Savage,
15:29and that's what did in, I believe,
15:31either that or maybe the blow off the railing.
15:33I'm not sure which.
15:34We'll take you now to the update,
15:36after which, hopefully, we'll have words
15:38from Bruno Sammartino back in the dressing room area.
15:43With the latest from the World Wrestling Federation,
15:46here's Gene Okerlund.
15:51As documented on page 26 in the latest edition
15:54of the World Wrestling Federation magazine,
15:56Paul Mr. Wonderful Orndorff is rated by his peers
15:59as being the number one contender
16:01for the heavyweight championship Hulk Hogan's title.
16:04There has been a lot of discussion
16:06about this battle of the super athletes.
16:08Many things have been said both in and out of the ring
16:11by the press and by other wrestlers.
16:13Orndorff and Bobby Heenan discredit
16:15any negative thoughts on that subject.
16:17I can't believe this.
16:18These are nobodies.
16:19You know, in the December, January issue
16:21of the World Wrestling Federation magazine,
16:23talk about garbage.
16:24Bruno Sammartino.
16:25See, it's Hulk and Orndorff.
16:27Has been.
16:28Has been.
16:29And they're rating the champ and the challenger.
16:31Sammartino says here,
16:33Hogan has a 50-pound weight advantage.
16:35Albano makes a thing that nobody can beat Hulk Hogan.
16:38Junkyard Dog says he's gonna whoop him.
16:40You know, I am so tired of reading all this garbage.
16:43You see, I've been reading all this garbage
16:46You see, I am the manager of this man.
16:48Why didn't they ask me?
16:50You wanna waste a bunch of time
16:51asking a bunch of people that don't know nothing.
16:53You can walk up and down the street and do that.
16:55But as far as I'm concerned,
16:56this is the man to take Hogan.
16:58How would you compare yourself to Hogan?
17:00I would compare Hogan as a horse manure and ice cream.
17:04I'm the ice cream.
17:05I'm the cream at the top.
17:06You know something?
17:07When I look at it, I hear a lot
17:08what all those people are saying
17:10all over the world about Mr. Wonderful.
17:12I'm sure glad that I don't really give a darn
17:16what people think about me
17:18as long as I get that belt.
17:21Right now, Paul Orndorff possesses
17:23the combination of strength, aggression,
17:25wrestling skill, and the expertise
17:27of Bobby the Brain Heenan.
17:29Make no mistake about it,
17:30Mr. Wonderful is number one.
17:33For Update, I'm Gene Oakerman.
17:39This contest is scheduled for one fall.
17:41In the ring, from Boston, Massachusetts,
17:44weighing 277 pounds,
17:47Al Navarro.
17:51And his opponent,
17:55from Charlotte, North Carolina,
17:57weighing 280 pounds,
18:01the Junkyard Dog.
18:05Yes, sirree.
18:06The Junkyard Dog on his way to the ring.
18:11And if anybody can get these fans
18:13rockin' and rollin' again,
18:15it's the Junkyard Dog.
18:16But I must say,
18:18I don't know, Jeff.
18:19This seems like...
18:21I'm not knockin' the dog at all,
18:23but there's still a kind of a
18:26hush over these fans here with their...
18:29what we saw earlier with Steamboat.
18:31Well, I'll tell you what I believe it is, McMahon.
18:34You've got so much prestige and so much money
18:37riding on championships today in wrestling
18:40that, let's face it,
18:41people are gonna pull out the stops,
18:43they're gonna take shortcuts,
18:44they're gonna do whatever it takes.
18:46Uh-huh.
18:47That's not what it takes.
18:49What we saw earlier, and I'm sure
18:51an action will be...
18:53will take place
18:54as a result of the actions of Savage.
18:57Dog with a headbutt.
18:58Sirree's out on Navarro.
19:00Well, you know, I'm still confused.
19:02There was...
19:03There was no decision given to that match, McMahon.
19:06The Steamboat-Savage match.
19:08What was the final decision?
19:10Uh, just...
19:11Obviously...
19:12I mean, I'm just asking the question.
19:14Whoa, what a quick pin that was.
19:19Well, what a surprise and a quick pin indeed
19:21as we were talking about
19:23what happened earlier on with the Macho Man
19:25and Ricky the Dragon Steamboat.
19:27Here is your winner,
19:28the Jumpyard Dog!
19:31Let's take you back now.
19:32I understand Bruno San Martino is back.
19:35Bruno San Martino is back
19:38with Ricky the Dragon Steamboat.
19:40Let's take you back now
19:42to Bruno's report.
19:43Bruno.
19:47I-I cannot believe what I've just seen.
19:49Never in my entire wrestling career.
19:51I-I just do not believe...
19:53Ricky Steamboat is back.
19:55He's back.
19:57Never in my entire wrestling career.
19:59I-I just do not believe...
20:00Ricky Steamboat absolutely could not breathe.
20:03The Maddox...
20:04The Maddox is behind this door here now.
20:06They're putting...
20:07Wait, do what?
20:08They actually put a hole in there.
20:10They put some kind of a tube for him to breathe.
20:13I've never seen anything so gruesome in my life.
20:15Right now, they're working on him.
20:16The ambulance is on its way.
20:18Soon as we know anything else,
20:20we'll bring it to you, too.
20:23All right, Bruno.
20:24Thank you very much.
20:25More, no doubt, later on,
20:26report on Ricky Steamboat.
20:27Right now, a special word
20:28on upcoming World Wrestling Federation events.
20:31Boston Garden, Saturday, December the 6th.
20:33Black Jack Mulligan and Jimmy Jack Funk

20:42The Midgets are on the card.
20:43Former champion Pedro Morales

20:54to do battle against J.Y.D.,
20:56the Junkyard Dog.
20:57And the heavyweight title on the line.
20:59Boston, it's going to be a war.
21:01Hulk Hogan against Kamala,
21:03the Ugandan Headhunter,
21:04as savage as they come, Hulk.
21:06I ain't scared of no darn giant, man.
21:08All I got to say
21:09is I got my pump back, Boston Gardens.
21:12Every time I think about
21:13coming to the Boston Gardens,
21:15I turn this four-lane highway
21:17into an eight-lane drag strip, man.
21:20I get psyched out,
21:21start squeezing the bars
21:22and bending them in half
21:23just like I'd do
21:24your skinny little necky or again.
21:26But all I get to say, man,
21:28if there was a zoo in Boston
21:30and if they had a gorilla
21:32big enough to head ape,
21:34I'd climb right in the middle of that cage, man,
21:37and match power for power with you
21:39because I'm ready for a Ugandan giant.
21:42I'm ready for some headhunter, man.
21:45And Boston knows all about me, man.
21:47They know that when I snap,
21:50I fear no man, no woman, or beast, brother.
21:54I feel no pain.
21:56And Kamala, come to the ring
21:58with your so-called trainer,
22:00Kiwi, Kim Chi, Pee-wee,
22:03whatever his name is, brother,
22:05because the Hulk's just back on track.
22:07Jack, come into the Boston Gardens.
22:09I'm the only champion you got.
22:11You've been standing behind me so long.
22:13I'm not gonna let you down.
22:16Now find out who the king of the jungle is.
22:18Saturday, December 6, Boston Garden.
22:20Don't miss it.
22:28Arizona, the home of one superstar, Billy Graham,
22:31who is now awaiting us with some words of wisdom.
22:34Superstar Billy Graham right here out with the cacti,
22:37the scorpions, the black widow spiders,
22:40the tarantulas, the sidewinders,
22:42surviving in the desert,
22:44enduring in the desert.
22:46That's why I did a bold superstar Billy Graham
22:48back on the WWF wrestling scene,
22:51and I got to come back to hurt somebody.
22:54This contest is scheduled for one fall.
22:57Introducing first, the manager,
22:59Johnny V.
23:03And he represents from Montreal, Quebec, Canada,
23:07weighing 245 pounds,
23:10Dino Bravo.
23:14His opponent, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
23:18at 218 pounds,
23:21Kirk Coffman.
23:26Kirk Coffman making his initial appearance here.
23:31What was his weight? 218?
23:34I think they said 218.
23:36That's giving an awful lot of weight away to a man like Dino Bravo.
23:39That's right, Bravo, I've seen the man bench press 500 pounds.
23:43Well, almost everybody in the WWF can bench press 500 pounds now, Jess.
23:47You can't.
23:49I said almost everybody.
23:51Okay, as long as you verify that.
23:57That's my worst lift.
24:02Another great night of World Wrestling Federation action
24:04awaits you fans in Portland, Maine
24:06at the Cumberland County Civic Center
24:08Friday night, December the 5th.
24:10Great stars coming to town for young and old alike,
24:12the Mighty Midgets in a tag team encounter.
24:14In addition from the jungles of Samoa, Sica,
24:16you'll see King Harley racing King Kong Bundy in tag team action
24:19and Mr. Unpredictable George, the Animal Steel,
24:22with a great matchup his way in Portland, Maine, perhaps,
24:25at the Cumberland County Civic Center
24:27on the date of Friday, December 5th.
24:31I don't believe as much of us are surprised
24:33with Bravo getting to Duke that quickly.
24:35It's not against the men, it's 218 pounds.
24:37That was a total mismatch, McMahon.
24:39I call it like it is. That was a mismatch.
24:41This guy had no business being in the ring with a talent like Bravo.
24:44Here is your winner, Dino Bravo.
24:49Dino Bravo will go back to the replay.
24:52Bruno, wait a minute. Bruno's just coming in.
24:58Bruno, we could forget the replay here.
25:02Can you give us what you saw a few moments ago?
25:06Excuse me. Let me adjust this.
25:08Yeah, I'll tell you.
25:10Unbelievable. I've never seen anything so gross.
25:13I've heard of these things where they had to put a hole in somebody's throat
25:16for breathing purposes. I've seen it with my own eyes.
25:18I couldn't believe it.
25:20He put a hole in his throat?
25:22Yeah, absolutely. They had to put some kind of a tube in it
25:24because he was suffocating. He absolutely could not breathe.
25:26And they had to do this to save his life.
25:30God knows. Is he on his way to the hospital?
25:33He's on his way to the hospital, and I hope we hear something soon
25:36because I've never seen anything like it.
25:38Stand by, everyone.
25:40A special word on upcoming World Wrestling Federation events,
25:42after which, hopefully, we'll have further word on The Dragon, Ricky Stinglow.
25:46Boston Garden, Saturday night, December the 6th.
25:49The battle for the bragging rights of the state of Texas.
25:51Jimmy Jack Funk against Black Jack Mulligan.
25:54The Rougeaux, Jacques and Ramon, in what should be a classic wrestling matchup
25:57against the U.S. Express, Mike Rotundo and Golden Boy Danny Spivey.
26:00The midgets are on the card.
26:02Pedro Morales, former champion, against the king, Harley Race.
26:05J.Y.D., the junkyard dog, against Mr. Wonderful, Paul Orndorff.
26:09Hulkamania at the Boston Garden.
26:11The heavyweight tight on the line.
26:13Hulk Hogan against Kamala, the Ugandan headhunter.
26:16And it will be the dream team, the former champions,
26:18Greg the Hammer Valentine and Brutus Beefcake,
26:20going up against the very popular, high-flying Islanders,
26:24indeed, Tama and Haku, the former champions here in Boston, Haku.
26:28You know, the former champion.
26:30You know, we should call them the dream team,
26:32or we should call them the babies,
26:34because they have Johnny Mullen take care of them,
26:38you know, babysit them, change their diaper all the time.
26:41And they're just like a crying baby when they step in the ring,
26:44especially with the Islanders.
26:46With the Islanders, man, I don't know what they're going to think about.
26:49In Boston Garden, we step there to fight a real man, not babies.
26:55Right, brother? Tell them, brother.
26:57Everybody know in Boston Garden who the real men are,
27:00and that's the Islanders.
27:02And I'm talking to you, Fruitcake.
27:04I'm talking to you, Greg the Hammer Valentine.
27:07Come on to the ring and bring a box of nails with you,
27:10because you're going to need it, boy.
27:12Everybody know in Boston Garden who the best tag team in the world is today.
27:18Haku and Tama, the Islanders.
27:21And don't you people forget that in Boston Garden.
27:24So come on down, Fruitcake and Greg the Hammer Valentine.
27:28And we're there to fight with the man, not fight with the baby.
27:31Boston, get ready.
27:33Holoculmania is coming back to the Boston Garden,
27:36Saturday, December the 6th.
27:38Don't miss it.
27:39Thank you, guys.
27:40Salute.
27:41Here we go down to Outback Jack, the Outback of Australia.
27:45We'll visit some abos with Outback Jack.
27:49Outback Jack.
27:59McMahon, I've got to know, doesn't this dude ever talk?
28:03I mean, I know they speak English down under.
28:06Well, I don't know.
28:07Maybe next week we'll hear something verbal from him.
28:10Let's go up to the ring.
28:11The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
28:14In the ring to my right, from the Double Cross Ranch in Amarillo, Texas,
28:18weighing 242 pounds,
28:22Jimmy Jack Funk!
28:24And his opponent...
28:27♪♪
28:30...from Richmond, Virginia,
28:32weighing 237 pounds,
28:36the Rebel Dick Slater!
28:39♪♪
28:42The Rebel Dick Slater on his way to lock up with Jimmy Jack Funk.
28:46This should be a good one.
28:47We spoke earlier to the Rebel Dick Slater,
28:51and this man is an individual with few words,
28:56but here's what he had to say.
28:58Dick Slater, a rebel.
28:59How we like that fried chicken?
29:01And being from the South, everybody knows
29:04that a Southern boy, Southern friend, Southern brand.
29:07Meanest one of all.
29:08I'm gonna show you, I'm gonna show everybody else.
29:11That's just how mean a Southern boy can be.
29:16Now, the Rebel Dick Slater on the top rope,
29:18but look at that Jimmy Jack Funk beat him to the punch.
29:21Whoa, that's a classic mistake, McMahon,
29:24of going up those ropes when you think you got your opponent down,
29:27and you definitely don't.
29:31A number of wrestlers have played possum.
29:33Here's a reminder, Boston.
29:34World Wrestling Federation action comes to the Boston Garden
29:38Saturday, December 6th, beginning at 8 p.m.
29:40You'll see Pedro Morales battle the King Harley Race.
29:42The Islanders take on the dream team
29:44of Greg the Hammer Valentine and Brutus Beefcake.
29:47The Junkyard Dog tangles with Mr. Wonderful Paul Orendorff,
29:50and then the Ugandan Headhunter Kamala
29:53primed and ready, according to the Wizards,
29:55for a championship match, and the title, perhaps,
29:57when the man from Uganda meets Hulk Hogan
30:00at the Boston Garden Saturday, December the 6th.
30:05There's no accident there.
30:06That was, to me, just a blatant, sick maneuver
30:10on the part of Savage.
30:12Absolutely no accident. I'm so infuriated.
30:14I can't get it out of my head.
30:16How could it be an accident when he drew the man's throat
30:18on top of that steel, railing over there,
30:20and then to come over with that timekeeper's,
30:22that solid steel, off the top rope, accident my foot,
30:25that...
30:28I call it eliminating the number-one contender.
30:31Yes, but, Jesse, come on. Let's be serious now.
30:33I am serious.
30:36I'm totally serious.
30:38Hey, Macho Man does what he feels he has to do, McMahon.
30:42But that's what he feels that he has to do
30:44to eliminate competition,
30:45and there's no place for a man like that
30:47in the World Wrestling Federation, I assure you.
30:49Oh, he just might be too tough.
30:54Now, that was an unusual maneuver.
30:58And Slater's going back up to the top again.
31:00He got caught before.
31:02This time, he doesn't get caught.
31:06Vic Slater rams the elbow, covering Jimmy Jackie Morgan.
31:10He runs.
31:13Very close. You know, you want to bring up throat moves.
31:15That elbow right there was real close to the throat.
31:20Stand by, everyone.
31:22Roddy Roddy Piper with his guest,
31:24Kamala, the Ugandan headhunter.
31:27Wait, wait, wait.
31:29You ain't gonna believe what they picked for me this week.
31:33I ain't gonna say nothing.
31:35I just want you to bring these candy bars out.
31:38Ain't these a bunch of dandies, huh?
31:41Oh, would you?
31:43Oh, my goodness, my goodness.
31:45Would you let your daughter,
31:47would you let your daughter go out with this man?
31:49This is the wizard of professional wrestling,
31:53one of the greatest ever.
31:55And of course, the fellow that they built
31:58the swing facing the wall when he was a kid right here.
32:01There's Kamala.
32:02He doesn't speak English.
32:03And this gentleman, your name is?
32:05Kim Chi.
32:07Yeah, your name is Kim Chi.
32:09Thank you very much.
32:10You know, Roddy Piper, no, I don't.
32:17Well, you're gonna get told right now
32:22from 30,000 feet away,
32:26you're gonna need some friends someday.
32:33Wait a second.
32:35I know one thing for sure.
32:36I see a lone star on there.
32:39And the first thing that comes to my mind,
32:40I know he's not from Texas.
32:43I know that for sure.
32:44And I see this half moon, and I'm wondering,
32:47is that from a million moon pies he's ate?
32:49Or is that actually two people in there?
32:52I mean, what is this?
32:53Why does he have a mask on?
32:55Do you know the control that I have to keep him under?
33:01Take off his mask, Kim Chi!
33:04No!
33:06Okay, wait a second.
33:08Now I know why he's got a mask on.
33:10Put the damn thing back on his face there.
33:12Put it on his face.
33:13Do me a favor.
33:15Do me a favor, and all America,
33:17please don't let him breathe with anyone.
33:24In the World Wrestling Federation,
33:25and Vance making his initial appearance
33:27here in the World Wrestling Federation.
33:29He's locked up in there against one of the toughest,
33:32at least for my money.
33:34Oh yeah, Jack, he's something else.
33:35Vance is gonna get a real rude introduction, I think.
33:40I don't know, I'll have to wait and see here.
33:45Billy Jack Haynes is the kind of individual
33:47who doesn't take prisoners.
33:49Yeah, he definitely don't.
33:50He's big enough not to.
33:52Definitely doesn't.
33:54What are you, my English teacher, McMahon?
33:56No, but I don't want the youngsters, America.
33:59Just because you got some piece of paper
34:02and it said you went to college
34:03and you can count to five on one hand,
34:05don't mean you come and criticize
34:07the greatest announcer in wrestling.
34:12I'm the one that keeps you working.
34:14I beg your pardon?
34:15I'm the one that keeps you in a job.
34:20Well, in any event, Billy Jack Haynes
34:23is pretty much teaching this man Vance a thing or two.
34:27Look at that full Nelson.
34:28That could spell defeat right there.
34:31As he gets it in, he clamps it on, it's over.
34:34Billy Jack Haynes makes very short work of Vance.
34:38That's interesting.
34:39Your winner, Billy Jack Haynes.
34:47Billy Jack Haynes, we'll take you to the replay
34:49and then, well, let's take, here we go, Bruno.
34:50Well, Haynes had no problem at all.
34:53He puts on a devastating full Nelson of David Vance.
34:55Natalia had no choice but to give up
34:57with that awesome power that Billy Jack Haynes has.
35:01But all this going on with Steamboat, I almost forgot.
35:03We're just about ready to find out now
35:05the results of your voting for the Honky Tonk Man.
35:08Jesse Ventura spoke to him earlier.
35:10This is Jesse DaBody Ventura
35:12in the World Wrestling Federation.
35:13I'm here with the Honky Tonk Man.
35:15And Honky Tonk Man, the time is at hand.
35:18The votes have come into the World Wrestling Federation
35:21on the big issue.
35:23Do they approve of you or do they disapprove of you?
35:26And let me tell you right now,
35:28674,383 votes were cast, Honky Tonk Man,
35:34by the World Wrestling Federation fans.
35:36Woo, that makes me feel good.
35:38I knew they loved me, Jesse.
35:39I knew the World Wrestling Federation people.
35:41I knew they'd vote for the Honky Tonk Man.
35:43I knew I could persuade them.
35:44I knew they'd like the way I won.
35:45Wait a minute.
35:46I said 674,000 votes were cast, Honky Tonk.
35:50That's right, that's right.
35:51That's what you said.
35:52But only 71,111 voted that they liked me.
35:58They liked you, that they dig you.
35:59They did what?
36:00603,000 people said the Honky Tonk Man,
36:05we don't dig your style.
36:06No, no, that's not right.
36:07We don't like your grease ball hair.
36:08That's not right.
36:09Take a walk back to Podunk, Tennessee.
36:10I don't think you got the figures right, Jesse.
36:12That can't be true.
36:13That's the truth, man.
36:14It can't be true.
36:15As sorry as it is.
36:16That's the truth.
36:17That's it, I'm going right now to that big fat county
36:19and I'm gonna get to the bottom of this.
36:20Whoa.
36:22The man is upset.
36:23The Honky Tonk Man, by the wishes of the fans,
36:26they don't dig you.
36:27I don't think the grease ball can handle that.
36:31Got a little ho down here.
36:34Come on, Jazz, get up.
36:35Come on, get up.
36:36Nah, I don't like this kind of music, McMahon.
36:40I'll tell you what, though.
36:41Did you see that robe that Johnny,
36:44that Greg the Hammer Valentine wore into the ring?
36:47By the way, Bruno Sammartino has just left his position
36:51on his way back to see if he can find out
36:52a little bit more about the condition
36:57of Ricky Steamboat.
36:59Starting things off now, Greg the Hammer Valentine
37:01whipped to the ropes by Hillbilly Jim,
37:03ran right into the big boot.
37:05Tag is made.
37:06Pedro Morales comes in with Valentine.
37:08Morales, with those fiery left hands,
37:11and he is in a cage.
37:13Now what is that?
37:15Pedro Morales touching a referee?
37:17Oh, wait a minute.
37:18You remember what happened
37:19with this same idiotic referee, Davis?
37:23Hey, I don't care.
37:24It was about two months,
37:26I don't know, about a month ago, I guess.
37:28Oh, wait a minute, McMahon.
37:28I don't care what happened.
37:29A wrestler does not touch a referee.
37:33He just touched him a little bit.
37:35Oh, that's more of a mouth tap.
37:36That's okay, huh?
37:37I didn't say that.
37:38You didn't say that.
37:41I'm just saying what I saw him do.
37:42That's right.
37:43It wasn't as if he shoved him.
37:44You do not touch a referee.
37:47Morales was totally out of line with that.
37:52Morales downstairs, beefcake coming right at him.
37:55Back body drop, nicely done by Pedro.
37:57Here comes the tag, Tito Santana.
38:04Santana grabs the ankle,
38:07spins beefcake around, right hand.
38:11Greg Valentine, collision with Brutus Beefcake.
38:18There's a big boot for you.
38:19Whoa.
38:27Oh, my.
38:28Nobody, Jim, told him what he was gonna do
38:30and then went ahead and did it.
38:34Come on, beefcake's making a plea for timeout in there.
38:42Danny Davis, a very biased referee.
38:46I think he's just as biased as you can get.
38:48This man is on the verge of suspension, I know it.
38:51A six-man tag is a hard match to control
38:53with six contestants in there.
38:55And I think Davis is doing a remarkable job so far.
38:58He hasn't even warned Beefcake.
39:00Was he, for what, forearms?
39:02Forearms are legal.
39:05How about the double team that's going on now?
39:07Beefcake's leaving.
39:08I don't see what double team.
39:10Is there a double team happening, McMahon?
39:11You're seeing a different match than me.
39:14Johnny V now with a kick to the ribs.
39:16Break of the eyes.
39:17I guess that's legal, too, another one.
39:19Look at this.
39:21Headbutt by the hillbilly champ.
39:24Tag is made, Santana comes in.
39:28Santana goes to work on Johnny V.
39:31Oh, by the forearm, no, no.
39:34Cover that man.
39:35Figure four leglock coming right at ya.
39:38Burpedown on him.
39:39He's got it hooked.
39:41His shirt.
39:41Valentine comes in and interferes.
39:44Morales there to deter Valentine
39:46from making that mistake again.
39:48Now, here's the problem with six-man tag.
39:50You got six contestants
39:52and you got total chaos breaking loose here.
39:56Danny Davis is losing control of this match
39:58and rightfully calls for the bell.
40:01All right, I can understand that.
40:02I'll have to agree with Davis.
40:05I'll have to agree with him here.
40:06Wait a minute.
40:07Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has awarded the decision
40:11as a result of a disqualification
40:14to break the hammer Valentine,
40:16Brutus Minkai, and Johnny V.
40:20I can't believe that.
40:20Let's go back, pick up some of the action.
40:24Well, I'll tell you what.
40:25You know, it's obvious here that Danny Davis
40:27feels that the Santana team
40:29was the ones that caused this total melee
40:32of all six guys getting into the ring.
40:34Well, let's, if we can, just keep watching it here
40:37because Valentine comes in first.
40:40He'll be the next individual we see.
40:43So that tells you right there that you're wrong, Jesse.
40:46Interesting comments coming up
40:47from some of the many stars in the World Wrestling-
40:49After this, we'll have a report from Brutus.
40:51Very quickly from all of us here
40:53at the World Wrestling Federation
40:54to each and every one of you this Thursday,
40:55a very happy, healthy Thanksgiving day.
40:58Now, Boston Garden, Saturday night, December the 6th.
41:01Hulkamania is coming to the Garden.
41:03A battle for the bragging rights of the state of Texas.
41:06Black Jack Mulligan against Jimmy Jack Funk.
41:08The Rougeau brothers, Jack and Remo
41:09against the U.S. Express.
41:10Mike Rotondo and Golden Boy Danny Spivey,
41:12what should be a classic matchup.
41:14The Midgets on the card in a tag team battle.
41:16It will be the Islanders,
41:17Haku and Tama against the Dream Team.
41:18Greg the Hammer of Valentine and Brutus Beefcake.
41:21Hulk Hogan defends the heavyweight title against Kamala,
41:25the Ugandan head hunter,
41:27and a very busy night indeed
41:28for Bobby the Brain Heenan's family
41:30as former champion Pedro Morales to battle the King.
41:33Harley Race and JYD the Junkyard Dog
41:36against Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff.
41:38My God, I should take for cover, maybe.
41:42Pedro Morales, you were the World Wrestling Federation
41:45heavyweight champion.
41:47You were intercontinental heavyweight champion.
41:49Why is that?
41:50I'm speaking.
41:52You were the tag team champion.
41:55But those are all former.
41:57Now you're nothing.
41:59And when the King gets through with you,
42:00you will be less than nothing.
42:03Now, Paul Orndorff is not gonna conduct an interview.
42:05We have a news blackout.
42:07A news blackout?
42:08Right, he's not gonna give you an interview
42:10or you people in the interview or anybody in the media
42:12because he doesn't feel like he has to.
42:14And I don't feel like I should let him do it.
42:17I know Hulk Hogan has defamed the title against Kamala.
42:20Now Kamala is a big, bad, vicious man.
42:25But I'm upset that Kamala gets his hands on Hogan
42:27before we do.
42:28But no, they throw the Junkyard Dog in front of us
42:31here at the Boston Garden.
42:33Why don't you throw Larry Bird in front of us?
42:35Why don't you throw the whole Celtics?
42:37Why don't you throw everybody
42:38and get your hands on here in front of us?
42:40No, no, you got the Junkyard Dog.
42:42Guy comes in with 16 feet of chain around his neck.
42:44He barks, he growls, the referee backs up.
42:47He lets him do whatever he wants.
42:49Let me tell you something, Junkyard Dog.
42:51You are in my way.
42:54You are in the way of something I dream about.
42:57And before this year is over,
42:58I wanna manage the champion of the world.
43:01I wanna manage Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff.
43:04And if you think stepping in front of me
43:06with that chain is gonna do it, you're badly mistaken.
43:09Because if we have to take that chain off you, dog,
43:12take that chain and drag you around that Boston Garden
43:15and house break you, we'll do it.
43:18Because then we're gonna sit at ringside
43:20and we're gonna watch Kamala do whatever he has to do
43:24to the world's champion, Hulk Hogan.
43:26And whatever minute piece of you is left, Hogan,
43:31that's what I want.
43:33That's what Mr. Wonderful wants.
43:35And that is what we are gonna get.
43:37Boston Garden, get ready.
43:39Because when Orndorff walks out,
43:40I want you to stand up and yell,
43:42wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.
43:53There's something good.
43:54It's all by the following.
43:55Ricky Steamboat has been taken to the hospital by ambulance.
43:58He was in agony.
43:59His breathing is terrible,
44:00even though he had this tube down his throat.
44:03All of his friends were back here
44:04waiting for further news, further report.
44:07It was one of the most devastating things I've ever seen.
44:10No excuse in the world for it.
44:11There was no reason by this slime,
44:13the so-called champion, to have-
44:14What's the update to me, man?
44:16What's in the hot dog?
44:17Are you happy about it?
44:18It's in the hot dog.
44:20What's in the hot dog?
44:20Did the hospital get it, huh?
44:22Did he put some mustard on him right now,
44:24get him all set up for the champion right there?
44:27I'm so proud of myself.
44:29You piece of slime, you're happy about it?
44:35You fucking piece of slime, you're happy about it?
44:39You fucking piece of slime, you're happy about it?
44:49You know what, McMahon?
44:50What a despicable act on the part of Sam Martino.
44:54He's supposed to be an unbiased reporter
44:56back there to try to get the facts
44:58and he attacks Macho Man Savage.
45:00You saw what happened.
45:01I can't believe it.
45:02I don't even think I'm going to work
45:03with Sam Martino up there.
45:05I don't know if he'll be able to work with me either.
45:07Next week, ladies and gentlemen, schedule will be here.
45:10We'll have a further report on Ricky Steamboat.
45:13Unfortunately, as Bruno reported, no further conditions.
45:16I wish we had a report on the condition
45:17of that creep savage, but in any event,
45:19next week also to join us will be George the Animal Steel,
45:23who will be the guest of Rowdy Roddy Piper and Piper's Pit,
45:26plus the tag team combination of Mike Rotundo
45:30and Danny Spivey, and also to join us next week,
45:32ladies and gentlemen, will be the self-professed
45:35king of wrestling.
45:36Till next week, this is Vince McMahon
45:38saying so long from ringside.
