Sheffield Arena, Monday September 28th.
Chico Matador .v. Rick Martel.
What a shock, Tito loses. Actually one of the best matches on the card,
but seeing as they've wrestled 5,000 times they ought to be able to put
on a decent show. Rick with the pin as Tito comes off the middle rope
with a High Cross Body and his momentum takes him over Martel. **1/2

The Bushwhackers .v. The MegaJobbers.
The big question here was which MegaJobber would get to do the job, Kato
and Skinner probably tossed a coin for the honour and Mad Million Maxi
Komet Kid Kato laid down after the battering ram. The Bushwhackers were
as god-awful as usual, Kato and Skinner didn't look like they could be
bothered. At least Skinner found a fat woman at ringside to do his fat
woman impression at. DUD.

Bret Hart .v. Papa Shango.
All Shango until a finish where Shango whipped Hart into the corner,
followed in for a splash but Hart moved and then rolled him up from
behind. Some neat flames from the skull though. *

The Natural Disasters .v. Money Inc w Jimmy Hart.
My god Typhoon is dreadful, his version of repeatedly splashing IRS in
the corner was actually nothing more than rubbing his tits up and down
Irwin's tie. Typhoon played the face who get's beat up, which is the
best thing for him. There was one bit where they appeared to go off the
script. DiBiase hocked a big ball of spit up in the air and it nearly
hit Quake on his tag rope. Quake started laughing and shouted something
at DiBiase, so DiBiase spat three more times, each time getting nearer
to Earthquake until the last one landed splat on his chest. Quake
laughed some more and then ran in and slapped DiBiase round the head. Is
this a regular routine in this series?. Anyway IRS lays Quake out on the
mat, goes up top and jumps straight onto his boot, 1-2-3 Disasters still
champs. **. One observation, DiBiase ought to start wearing full length
tights, the tops of his legs are all cellulite.

Virgil .v. The Genius.
The Genius cocked up his poem. That was the highlight. Virgil with the
pin. DUD.

Animal & CRush .v. The Beverly Brothers (no Genius)
ANimal and Crush came in to the "What a Rush" music, but really didn't
function as a team at all. Crush wore a Red and Black Crush suit to fit
in slightly with the image. However he twice failed to Gorilla press
Beau Beverly, who looks so skinny he must be under 200 pounds. Crush got
the pin on Beau with a half hearted tilt-a-whirl. *. Animal and Crush
left to Crush's music.

Ric Flair .v. Randy Savage.
Savage grabs the mic and shouts OOOOH YEAH, Flair Whooooooooo's
something rotten and the place goes nuts. It was posted recently that
these two are great chums and they did chat and grin at each other
throughout the match. Thankfully they didn't play up the injured leg
angle too much. Savage hit the elbow off the top, Flair flipped and
Flopped and scored the pin after about 25 minutes. **1/2.

The card was a 13,000 sell out.
The next night was a 12,000 sell out in Birmingham, I didn't go but
results were:
Chico Matador over The Genius
Money Inc over The Bushwhackers (DiBiase pinned Luke)
Rick Martel over Virgil
Disasters over Bevs (Quake pinned Beau)
Savage over Shango
Animal & Crush over MegaJobbers (Crush pinned Kato)
Flair over Bret Hart by countout.

Bob Hutton.
