Angle Developments/Notes:
1.) Lord Alfred Hayes hosts a Special Report promoting WrestleMania VIII taking place on April 5th. Hayes promotes the title match between WWF World Champion Ric Flair and Randy Savage. There was a press conference by Mr. Perfect and Ric Flair. Perfect sets ground rules wanting all the applause to be held for after Flair is done speaking. Perfect introduces the man who will face Randy Savage and destroy Savage at the event. Flair speaks to an empty room. Flair says everyone believed that Elizabeth was a pure woman. Flair wants to review the evidence. Flair goes through the pictures that he claims are real. Flair reveals a scarf that belongs to Elizabeth and he sniffs it. Flair claims he will wear the same scarf at WrestleMania VIII (he doesn’t).
2.) Mean Gene conducted a podium interview with the WWF Tag Team Champions Money Inc. and Jimmy Hart. The Natural Disasters are still in the ring following their victory. Hart says that money talks and he took a walk out of the lives of the Natural Disasters. IRS chimes in and says the Disasters made a mistake because they are going to lose at WrestleMania. DiBiase insults the Disasters saying they’ve been spewing hot air. DiBiase says they aren’t smart because they don’t have the belts. DiBiase believes they are keeping the money and the belts. IRS says they are keeping the belts and then on the 15th they have to pay their taxes. Well, Typhoon doesn’t like paying his taxes and rushes towards the podium with Earthquake to end the segment.
3.) As expected, Sid Justice destroyed the two opponents and medical had to check on them afterward. Sid press slams one of the guys over the top onto a stretcher.
4.) Mean Gene hosts the WrestleMania Report. Hulk Hogan cuts a promo on Sid Justice during the segment. Hogan sees the power that Sid possess and how he handles his opponents. Hogan sees his young self in Sid being hungry for the top spot. Hogan tells Sid the facts of life. There is nothing that can substitute for experience. Hogan is going to teach Sid a wrestling lesson, “I’m going to get off by cranking your knob just a little bit beyond the breaking point.”, and he’s going to wipe Sid’s pride on the mat.
5.) Randy Savage cuts a promo saying that Flair is lying. Savage says that Perfect isn’t perfect, and Heenan is on the list, too. Savage also wants the publisher of the WWF Magazine for publishing the pictures.
6.) Tatanka cuts a promo on Rick Martel about Martel humiliating his people. Tatanka is going to be their new leader at WrestleMania VIII.
7.) Rick Martel also cuts a promo saying that Tatanka will be paved over by the Model Express.
8.) Tito Santana shared a pre-tape promo during Michaels match. Santana thinks that Michaels is overlooking him for a WWF Intercontinental Championship match, and he should be worried about El Matador.
Final Thoughts:
A fine episode of Wrestling Challenge with Sid looking like a monster. Flair’s press conference was enjoyable and the build for Savage/Flair continues to be strong on TV.
Thanks for reading.
