Hello to you all, and welcome back to this weeks WWF Classics report. Because of Unforgiven being shown on Sunday night, this weeks show was not aired on Monday, so apologies if anyone has been waiting for updates. With all that cleared up then, it's time to dive right back into the eighties for this weeks edition of Wrestling Challenge.

We're introduced by today's commentary team of Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, who still has a neck brace around his...well, neck. The opening video introduction rolls, before we get officially underway. On today's show, there is Koko B. Ware, One Man Gang, Demolition, Ken Patera and as promised, the injury update on Superstar Billy Graham.

Match # 1
Koko B. Ware vs. Dusty Wolf
Koko enters with Frankie, who Heenan compares to Bruno Sammartino. The bout begins with a collar and elbow tie-up, before Koko breaks away and begins to flip his arms up and down, presumably to represent the actions of a bird. Another collar and elbow follows this, and Koko delivers a hiptoss, before riling up the crowd. Ware gets his opponent into a side headlock, before he gets an irish whip into the ropes. Wolf then drops down as Ware runs over him, followed by another close collision as Ware leapfrogs him. Eventually a dropkick is executed by Koko, followed by yet another hiptoss. They lock up once again, but this time it is Dusty who takes the advantage, and begins to pound away on Koko in he corner. Wolf uses many foul and deceitful tactics, such as choking Ware on the ropes. At this stage Heenan points out that the "B" in Koko's name actually stands for "buffoon". Wolf goes for a sunset flip but Ware sits down and crushes his sternum, before going to the top rope and delivering a dropkick. This is followed by the devastating ghostbuster, and Koko picks up the pinfall. In celebration, he starts dancing with the bird. "Turn that music off"!, says Heenan, who is seemingly frustrated.
Winner: Koko B. Ware via pinfall at 02:34

Greg DeGeorge is with Jake "The Snake" Roberts backstage. Next week, President Jack Tunney will be making an announcement as to whether or not the DDT will be banned. Jake says that the DDT is what makes him what he is, as well as the intimidation factor. As far as Jake is concerned, it's cruel, but it's fair. I guess we'll all find out next week what Tunney's decision will be.

Match # 2
One Man Gang (w/Slick) vs. Mario Mancini
Monsoon thinks that the One Man Gang looks much heavier than the 450lbs which he is introduced as, and by the looks of things, this could be one of the first appearances of the Gang in the WWF. The beast gets underway with some strong forearms, followed by some stiff stomps. He gets Mancini face down into the mat, before running the ropes and stamping his foot into the back of his head. At this stage we go to comments made earlier in the day, and Slick tells us that this is why he is so happy. Because the Gang can take care of business. But as far as the Gang is concerned, as long as he keeps getting his cash from the doctor of style, he'll be happy to deliver any amount of punishment necessary. I therefore assume that Slick went bankrupt a week later. The 450 pound giant climbs to the second rope, and drives Mancini face first into the canvas. He then goes up again, and drives an elbow right into Mancini's back, before rolling him over and scoring the three count. A complete squash.
Winner: One Man Gang by pinfall at 02:05

Mean Gene Okerlund is backstage with George "The Animal" Steele, who Okerlund proclaims to know very well. He expresses his like to Elizabeth by grunting. He recalls his match against Randy Savage at Saturday Night's Main Event, at which referee Danny Davis hit him with a steel ringbell. Steele looks around for Davis right there in the studio, but Okerlund reassures him "If there's anyone in this world you can trust it is me". He hugs Okerlund and gives a huge thumbs down.

We cut back to highlights of a match between Hercules and Ken Patera which took places a couple of weeks ago. Harley Race is sent in by Heenan to interfere, and double-teams with Hercules against the olympian, Ken Patera. Heenan of course, claims that he had nothing to do with it whatsoever.

Match # 3
Ken Patera vs. Tim Patterson
The former olympian gets a standing ovation, and points right into the direction of Heenan, who is also on his feet. An obligatory "weasel" chant gets underway, as does the match. Patera opens with hiptoss, which frustrates Patterson, who rolls to the outside. We go to pre-recorded footage of Patera who says that he will go through any member of the Heenan family to get to him, and he will do whatever it takes. Patterson is back in the ring and is flexing the small amount of muscle that he has, before engaging in a test of strength which Patera wins with ease. Patera yet again looks at Heenan, who really has no reason to be afraid judging by this performance. Patera delivers a suplex followed by a jerkslam, followed with a match winning bearhug. After the match, Patera and Heenan stare each other down, before the crowd once again breaks out into a "weasel" chant.
Winner: Ken Patera by submission at 02:42

Mean Gene Okerlund is now backstage with a former WWF Womens Champion. It's the Fabulous Moolah, the longest reigning womens champion of all time at this stage. "It's all about the Moolah", she says. She considers the top contenders to be Velvet McIntyre, Leilani Kai, Debbie Komes, Judy Martin, and we could go and on and on, but thankfully, we won't. There is word circulating that Moolah may in fact retire, and just as everyone's eyes light up, she denies all reports and says that she has no reason to retire. Ten years down the road, and she won the Womens title yet again.

Craig DeGeorge is back with the second part with the special report of Superstar Billy Graham, who has suffered a severe hip injury. Graham gives comments just hours before his operation, and although everyone claims that his wrestling career is over, he is determined to return once again. They caught up with him at his home in Arizona, and he uses a walking frame to assist his walking. Maybe it shouldn't have been as funny as it was then, when he fell flat on his face whilst climbing up a hill. On next week's show, there will be a further update on his condition.

Match # 4
Demolition (w/Mr. Fuji) vs. Bill Anderson & Partner
The two superstars in opposition are not even introduced, showing just how important they are. Demolition, in pre-recorded comments, vow to demolish anything in their path. Viscous forearms, and a bodyslam are delivered by Smash, before making the tag to Axe. An elbow is missed, allowing the opposition to make the tag, but to no avail, as Axe executes a brutal bodyslam. Smash tags in and the duo double-team their opponents. Smash throws around Anderson for his own pleasure before Axe delivers an elbow into the backbreaker for the pinfall.
Winners: Demolition by pinfall at 02:38

Greg DeGeorge is backstage with Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, who has had several problems with Greg Valentine as of late. He is planning on destroying the new Dream Team, and may even give DeGeorge a trimming in the process. Maybe cutting him out of the show altogether would be a more satisfactory result.

Mr. Fuji's new superstar, Killer Khan, is shown in China, in a temple. He is sitting in the dark by candles and meditating. Monsoon indicates that "somebody will have to put a leash on him". Please do.

Match # 5
The Killer Bees vs. Jimmy Jack Funk & The Raider
Flying headscissors by Blair onto the Funk, to open up the match. Blair goes to work on the shoulder, who delivers an armdrag, before tagging in Brunzell. Leapfrog by Blair before Brunzell puts Funk into a small package for the count of two, before The Raider makes the save. Brunzell clotheslines Funk over the top rope, as Monsoon babbles on about the new WWF Magazine. The Raider tags in, and is whipped into the ropes, but gets an armdrag from Blair. The Raider gets taken down by Blair, who delivers a fireman's carry. Frequent tagging by the Bees is not only great teamwork, but a great way to confuse Classics reporters. Brunzell eventually delivers a patented dropkick, before pinning the Raider in style.
Winners: The Killer Bees by pinfall at 04:39

A shot in the crowd shows a child enjoying the WWF ice cream bars. Monsoon can't wait to get his hands on at least one of those. If anyone ever consumed one of these wonderful creations, please let me know what they were like.

Match # 6
The Iron Sheik, Butch Reed & Nikolai Volkoff (w/Slick) vs. Joe Merto & Brad Ringins & SD Jones
Slick gets on the mic and bad mouths Jim Duggan, who was not happy at the way he cut off Nikolai Volkoff's singing of the national anthem last week. Unfortunately Duggan is not in the arena, and so Volkoff goes right ahead and sings his heart out. The sheik starts out with Brad, as the crowd chants "USA". Ringins is a former olympic star we are told, and runs into Sheik and knocks him right down. Sheik gets in a few kicks before tagging in Reed, as Brad tags in SD Jones. Reed backs off as they get tied-up in the ropes. SD leapfrogs before a sidemere takeover, into a pinning predicament. Jones makes the tag to Merto, who walks straight into a headlock, but manages to reverse it. Volkoff delivers a kick into the kidney area of Merto behind the official's back, giving their team the advantage. Volkoff tags in and capitalises on the situtation, and executes a huge clotheslines in the process. Reed then tags in for a clothesline, before the Sheik prepares for the camel clutch. Merto has no choice but to submit, whilst his team mates stood on the outside and watch it all happen. Imagine that nowadays.
Winners: The Iron Sheik, Butch Reed & Nikolai Volkoff by submission at 03:43

Mean Gene Okerlund is still backstage, and is with Jimmy Hart, manager of tag team champions the Hart Foundation. The Honky Tonk Man and Danny Davis also come into the picture, and Davis is questioned about his actions towards George Steele, but he denies all accusations. Seems they are fed up of their unfair treatment. Honky Tonk is awaiting Tunney's decision to ban the DDT, and he believes that everyone has voted for the move to be banned.

That's all for this week, and Monsoon recaps the feud between Patera and Heenan that has developed in the past hour. On next week's show the Honky Tonk Man, Hercules, George "The Animal" Steele, and the former Intercontinental champion Randy Savage will all be in action. In addition to this, Superstar Billy Graham's condition will be updated, and we should get word as to whether or not President Jack Tunney has banned the DDT.

To the best of my knowledge Classics will be back on Monday next week, so I hope to see you back sometime during next week. Feedback would be much appreciated at Segaboyno@aol.com

Take care!
