WRESTLEMANIA IV
The Skydome
Toronto, Ontario Canada
April 7, 2120
The four major wrestling promotions went through the last several months to get to this moment. Wrestlemania IV! The Ultimate Iron Man and Iron Team Tournaments are set to take place.
ULTIMATE IRON MAN / IRON TEAM TOURNAMENT
American Wolves (IWF) def. 2 Cold Scorpio & Marcus Alexander Bagwell (NAWA)
A tremendous opening match. These teams laid it all out there but will there be anything left for the rest of the night? The Wolves had the upperhand most of the time but still at times were near defeat. Scorpio took most of the beating for his team but kept battling. Bagwell was tossed out trying to break up the pin and the Die Hard by Edwards put away Scorpio. (Scorpio 5 coins, Richards 3 coins)
NWA WORLD TV CHAMPIONSHIP
NO. AMERICAN HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Randy Savage (NAWA) def. Bryan Danielson (IWF)
As awesome as you think this match could be, it was. Incredible back and forth action. Both wrestled very smart and did not play into the others strength. Macho Man used the outside to his advantage though. It really could have gone either way but Danielson never got any of his submission holds applied and Savage was able to land the flying elbow for the win.
Jim Londos & Johnny Saint (ICW) def. The Kangaroos (JWA)
One more spectacular match here at Wrestlemania IV! The surprise European team from ICW pull off another monster win. The Kangaroos dominated in Japan to get here and were on top most of this one. They couldn't put away Londos and Saint. The teams kept going at it and after disposing of Roy Heffernan following the Airplane Spin by Londos they put Al Costello down for the three count. (Saint 6 coins, Londos 3 coins, Costello 4 coins, Heffernan 2 coins)
NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Fred Blassie def. Buddy Rogers (ch)
An unbelievable battle for the world title and Iron Man points. These two just were non-stop back and forth waiting for a chance to win. Rogers never got his figure four applied. Both had those near falls but each kept the bout going. Blassie scored the win with the Southern Neckbreaker with a three-count that was just ridicuously close for Rogers kicking out. Blassie wins his second world heavyweight championship. (Rogers 4 coins, Blassie 3 coins)
IRON WOMAN FINAL
MsChif (Shimmer) def. Molly Holly (IWWF)
These two won their respective Iron Woman Tournaments in SHIMMER and the IWWF to get here. Molly Holly exploded with a lot of offense at the start. MsChif turned things around and used move after move before winning with the Desecrator.
IWF HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Jon Moxley (ch) def. Colt Cabana by C.O.
An absolute epic match as these two left nothing in the back and tried to destroy each other. Cabana held the belt for half of the IWF Iron Man Tournament. He just survived everything Moxley did to him and had many chances to win of his own. Moxley came away with a count out win but the fight between these two is definitely not over. (Cabana 7 coins, Moxley 4 coins)
NORTH AMERICAN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Southern Boys (ch) def. Sheepherders
Every wrestler here is laying it all on the line for Wrestlemania. The Sheepherders were killing Tommy Rich but he wouldn't go down. This one was awesome with all kinds of near falls. Tracy Smothers put away Butch Miller with the Jawjacker. (Rich 6 coins)
ULTIMATE IRON MAN / IRON TEAM TOURNAMENT
2 Cold Scorpio & Marcus Alexander Bagwell (NAWA) def. The Kangaroos (JWA)
Two teams that are 0-1 and can not lose again. Great tag team wrestling and more back and forth moves. Bagwell got the fall on Al Costello.
NWA WORLD TV CHAMPIONSHIP
NO. AMERICAN HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Randy Savage (ch) (NAWA) def. Buddy Rogers (JWA)
Yet another truly amazing match. Dead even is how this one went with both coming close to winning over and over. Rogers survived back to back flying elbows early on and again did not get his figure four applied. Savage took the win after a flying axe handle to the outside.
American Wolves def. Jim Londos & Johnny Saint
Richards and Edwards totally dominated this match, but it took quite some time to finally win it. Londos took a major beating but wouldn't give up the fight. Saint made a save but couldn't do it again and the Ankle Lock by Richards forced Londos to toss in the towel. (Londos 7 coins)
The American Wolves will win the Ultimate Iron Team Tournament even if they lose their final match.
NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Freddie Blassie (ch) def. Bryan Danielson
Another fantastic encounter as Bryan Danielson came as close as you can to winning the world title. He really controlled the match and took the beatings when Blassie got to the outside and also kicked out after the southern neckbreaker. Danielson had a lot of chances to win but Blassie held on and managed to retain the title with his big finisher. (Blassie 5 coins, Danielson 3 coins)
NWA WOMEN'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
Sherri Martel def. April Hunter (ch)
It was a short time for April Hunter as world champion, but she turned in a title match worthy of the record books. It was nearly all Martel, but Hunter showed she was deserving of carrying the belt. Martel dominated but Hunter still used the Head Hunter twice in a row and kicked out over and over. Martel finally won after the top rope splash. Sherri Martel is now 3-time world champion.
INTERCONTINENTAL HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Bruiser Brody (ch) def. Rob Van Dam
A very brutal match as RVD was so close to winning the title. He controlled the fight but Brody would not go down. The jumping leg drop finished off RVD. (Brody 4 coins)
RUSSIAN CHAIN MATCH
NWA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
The Road Warriors def. Ivan Koloff & The Warlord (ch)
A brutal Russian Chain match but the LOD came out on top. Hawk was linked with Koloff and Animal with Warlord. Hawk went to work with the chain and used it off the top rope and a clothesline to pin Koloff. Hawk and Animal are now five-time world tag team champions.
ULTIMATE IRON MAN / IRON TEAM TOURNAMENT
Jim Londos & Johnny Saint def. 2 Cold Scorpio & Marcus Alexander Bagwell
Pure tag team wrestling here. It was back and forth but the European contingent were in trouble a lot more. Londos took the damage but the match kept going. Johnny Saint caught Bagwell with the Johnny Saint Special to win the match.
Buddy Rogers def. Bryan Danielson
The American Dragon ended up 0-3 in this most prestigious tournament, but had three of the best matches anyone has ever seen. This one was monumental. They were pretty much evenly matched and neither could hold the upperhand for long. Finally it was Rogers, after a trip to the outside, able to put on the figure four and win the match.
The American Wolves def. The Kangaroos
One last amazing match by Richards and Edwards, who had already won the tournament before this contest. The Roos came out and annihilated Richards and twice Edwards broke up pins. This one turned into a great one as the Wolves wouldn't quit and nearly won on multipe occasions. A turnbuckle mishap allowed Edwards the chance to score a pin on Al Costello.
Ultimate Iron Team Final Standings1. American Wolves 6 pts.
2. Jim Londos & Johnny Saint 4 pts.
3. 2 Cold Scorpio & Marcus Alexander Bagwell 2 pts.
4. Kangaroos 0 pts.

Perhaps one of the biggest matches in professional wrestling history. So much gold on the line. The Ultimate Iron Man Tournament title as well. It was a battle but Macho Man never let up and was relentless in his attack. Twice off the with the flying elbow and Savage celebrated as the new world heavyweight champion and the Ultimate Iron Man Tournament winner!
