I loved the Survivor Series and as always those video intros are just so cool. Fabulous Moolah really heeling it up, and taunting Sherri Martel. The Beach Bums vs. The Unknowns was a war! Cool to see Hacksaw Jim Duggan as the bloody sole survivor, especially beating OMG to clinch it. The battle of tag team was what it was, Bushwhackers and the Express with a technical win.
The Heenan Family victory was epic! Andre goes on an elimination tear only to be stopped by the sole survivor in Mr. Perfect! What a win for Perfect, amazing. Roddy Piper finishing as another sole survivor just completed a great night of action. I would love to see Piper get that title shot against the Iron Sheik.

I’m super excited to see how far Piper goes. He thinks he’s ready for the big title, but the Commissioner (me) doesn’t think he’s proved himself enough yet. I’m not going to fast track him. Survivor Series was super fun to play out. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks again! |

Nice old school feel and amazing action! Henning takes out Andre?!?! Talk about passing the torch...  Thanks for reading Thomas (TK)! Hennig taking out Andre was a surprise for sure. HUGE win for him. Excited to book those two again to see what happens. |

PROUDLY PRESENTS CARD 086
Live from Golden State Wrestling Studios, Burbank, CA!
Commissioner Patrick started the show by announcing THE CALIFORNIA CUP, a tag team tournament would be happening on CARD #89. This brought a huge cheer from the studio audience. Commissioner Patrick announced the first 4 teams who'd be participating in the tournament:
and, reuniting for the tournament...
MATCH #1
Fabulous Moolah d. Rockin' Robin via pinfall after a JACKKNIFE CRADLE - ***** - This rematch from SURVIVOR SERIES was an electric opener! Moolah was dominant but the resilience of Rockin' Robin cannot go unnoticed. She continued kicking out of every move Moolah hit her with!
During the match, Sensational Sherri came to ringside and after Moolah got her hand raised Sherri shouted up to her that she should pay attention to the next episode of WRESTLING CHALLENGE. Moolah didn’t look concerned.
MATCH #2
MIDNIGHT EXPRESS d. FLYIN' HIGH via pinfall when Stan Lane covered Koko B. Ware after ROCKET LAUNCHER - SQUASH - Snuka and Ware were super rusty as a team. Cornette's men just steamrolled them.
CORNETTE: You just got a preview what's gonna happen at THE CALIFORNIA CUP!
MATCH #3
The Mountie d. Jim Milliman via pinfallafter a SHORT CHOKE SLAM - SQUASH - The Mountie is back from injury and he just destroyed Milliman. Interesting to note that The Mountie arrived without Sensation Sherri prompting questions as to whether he's still with the MILLION DOLLAR CORPORATION. It was announced that The Mountie would be the guest on Bill Apter's Hot Seat on the next episode of WRESTLING CHALLENGE.
MATCH #4
DREAM TEAM d. THE BUSHWHACKERS via submission when Brutus Beefcake locked Luke in the SLEEPER - * - THE BUSHWHACKERS started a house of fire but Valentine and Beefcake used some double teaming to get on offense to get the win.
MATCH #5
Andre the Giant d. Mister X via submission with a bear hug - ** - Mister X gave it his all but he was no match for The Giant. After the match, Andre waved to the studio audience and then made his way to Piper's Pit.
PIPER'S PIT
GUEST: Andre the Giant.
Andre walked on set and strode up to Piper. Cowboy Bob Orton tensed and stood between Andre and Piper.
PIPER: You're a big fella aren't you?
Andre smirks and looks down at both Orton and Piper.
PIPER: Course, there's a lot of big guys here in Golden State Wrestling. I'm mean Ace here is pretty big. That One Man Gang fella is pretty big. But you know, there's big and then there's big and powerful. And, don't get me wrong, you're big and powerful, but I think there's someone bigger. And more powerful.
Andre laughs.
ANDRE: Who?
PIPER: Oh, a little fella named King Kong Bundy
Andre laughs louder.
ANDRE: Bundy is a flea compared to The Giant.
PIPER: Oh, come on now. That's not nice. I mean would you say that to his face?
Suddenly Bundy charged from behind the set and clobbered Andre knocking him to the floor! Orton and Piper began helping Bundy stomp away at Andre! They had free rein for about 15-20 seconds when suddenly Jimmy Snuka and Koko B. Ware rushed the set to even the odds! The studio audience was electric as all six men brawled! Finally, security rushed the stage and was able to separate them all.
Amid the chaos and cheers, Andre challenged Bundy, Piper and Orton to a six-man tag team match on WRESTLING CHALLENGE! Bundy accepted! The crowd went nuts!
MAIN EVENT
The Spoiler d. George "The Animal" Steele via pinfall after a rope-walk smash - **** - The Spoiler gets revenge for Steele eliminating him at SURVIVOR SERIES. Super scientific match on The Spoiler’s part. The Spoiler was able to outmaneuver Steele's unpredictability and methodically took The Animal apart.
The Spoiler stood on the second rope with his arms crossed as the crowd booed him and the credits started to roll.

Excellent read! I like the combo of Snuka & Koko... too bad they had to face a ramped up Midnight Express! Enjoyed the Piper's Pit segment... Bundy may have bitten off more than he can chew I think!

I absolutely love it! It feels like I am "watching" old school WWF on Saturday morning! I see the Bushwackers continue their streak. I agree that Bundy might have bit of more than he could chew! If the first four teams announced for the California Cup is any indication, it is going to be banging! |

Hey TB!
You've nailed it with Piper there, sounded EXACTLY like how he would talk! Very nicely done!

There is nothing better than Piper stirring things up and that was a nice way to set up Andre vs. Bundy as well as the six-man tag. I think Jim Cornette was having flashbacks to the Carolinas, didn't he mean to say the California Cup?  Anyway, great show and I'm looking forward to the tag team tournament. |

Referring back to the Survivor Series, did Andre do a Sgt. Slaughter from 1990? I've had an entire team survive a 5-on-5 encounter once.
