WWF Wrestling Challenge September 7th, 1986

September 7, 1986

From the Civic Center in Hartford, CT

Your hosts are Ernie Ladd, Johnny Valiant, and Gorilla Monsoon

This is the debut show of "Wrestling Challenge," which replaced "Maple Leaf Wrestling." This was still the "B" show to "Superstars of Wrestling" though.

In action tonight are the British Bulldogs, Paul Orndorff, Koko B. Ware, Adrian Adonis, and Danny Spivey & Mike Rotundo. Plus, the debut of the "Snake Pit" with Jake Roberts and his guest, Kamala.

For some reason, Lord Alfred Hayes is doing the ring introductions tonight. It was not a role that he did well. But, I'm sure that he just filled in and was not going to be a permanent thing.



Iron Mike Sharpe & Don Muraco w/ Mr. Fuji vs. U.S. Express

Rotundo & Spivey are now called the U.S. Express instead of the "American Express." Muraco looks thrilled to be a part of this match. He starts by shoving Rotundo then they trade side headlocks as we get an insert promo from Superstar Billy Graham saying that he is coming back to the WWF as the U.S. Express work on the arm of Muraco. Sharpe tags and rams Spivey into the corner but gets backdropped then hit with a dropkick. Rotundo tags and catches Sharpe in an airplane spin but Muraco breaks up the pin attempt. Spivey comes in as Rotundo uses a small package on Sharpe but Muraco reverses it only for Spivey to reverse it back when the ref confronts Muraco and that gets the win (3:07).

Thoughts: Poor Muraco was established as just another guy in this match as his run near the top of the card has ended. He did not look happy at all out there. There was nothing wrong with the U.S. Express as a team but the depth was so great at this time and they did nothing that stood out besides carrying the American flag to the ring.


We get a promo from Randy Savage, who tells the fans that he does not appreciate when they go out of their way to applaud Elizabeth and that it should be channeled towards himself as they should get on the bandwagon of the Macho Man.


"Adorable" Adrian Adonis w/ Bob Orton & Jimmy Hart vs. Tommy Sharp

The crowd starts the "faggot" chant aimed at Adonis as Gorilla points out how Adonis is the heaviest he has been. Adonis takes down Sharpe as we get an insert promo from Orton who states how the conditions have improved since working for Adonis. Back to the match as they trade arm wringers then Adonis shoves Sharp to the floor as Gorilla questions the officiating of Danny Davis. Back inside, Sharp makes a comeback and attempts to whip Adonis from the corner but Davis intervenes. Hart jumps up on the apron and distracts Davis as Adonis tosses Sharp then has Orton come in and they hit a double-team move from the top as Davis was still distracted and that gets Orton the win (2:57).

Thoughts: This match was more about establishing Danny Davis and his questionable judgement as a referee than anything else.


Ken Resnick is now with Bob Orton and asks him about joining up with Adonis. Orton said he was offered more money and conveniences, along with faith, which is what Piper never did for him then accuses Piper of going off to Hollywood and not paying him as Orton said he will wear any color cowboy hat they give him as he is getting paid a lot of money. Orton says that it takes a man to walk around in a pink hat and he is the one who does it then takes credit for allowing Piper to say whatever he wanted because he was his bodyguard. They are setting up all the pieces for Piper to turn face.


Bob Bradley vs. Koko B. Ware

We are shown an insert promo of Koko as he is bouncing around while holding a boombox, telling everyone to do the bird. Koko fires up the crowd then hits Bradley with a crossbody that gets two. Koko then works a side headlock as Ladd points out how the female referee is doing a better job than some of the men as Valiant thinks she should be home washing dishes. Bradley takes control and beats on Koko in the corner. He slams him down and heads up top but Koko rolls away from a flying attack. Koko comes back with an elbow smash and a pair of dropkicks. He goes to the middle turnbuckle and hits a missile dropkick before finishing Bradley off with a splash (3:04).

Thoughts: No idea why they didn't make this Koko's debut match on "Superstars of Wrestling" instead of teaming with Paul Roma. Then again, Koko was never really pushed all that much as a threat in the ring as he was mostly used to dance around and hype up the crowds.


Resnick now questions Jimmy Hart about needing a bodyguard and when he has a whole stable of wrestlers. Hart says that his men are all over the world and he cannot always be with them so that is why he went out and got Orton. He then said that the Flower Shop will live on forever.


Troy Martin vs. "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff w/ Bobby Heenan

For those of you who do not know, Troy Martin would go on to become Shane Douglas. Orndorff continues to use Hogan's "Real American" theme song. Orndorff tosses Martin to the floor as we get an insert promo from the Honky Tonk Man, who is upset at Orndorff for turning on his friend, Hulk Hogan. Orndorff goes outside and tosses Martin over the guardrail. He drags him back in and takes him down with a dropkick then finishes him off with a piledriver (1:49). After the match, Orndorff mocks Hogan's poses as the crowd disapproves.

Thoughts: Orndorff completely dominated Martin here. Orndorff was still being pushed strongly as he was still facing Hogan at house shows at this time. Orndorff was a natural heel.


The Snake Pit with Jake "The Snake" Roberts. Jake dares us to enter the Snake Pit and brings out King Curtis Iaueka, Kimchee, and Kamala. King Curtis screams about how they traveled 22,000 miles to find Kamala in Uganda. King Curtis was annoying here and not in a good way. They are pushing Kamala strong though. The Snake Pit did not get off to a great start with this segment.


We are shown a replay of last week's coronation ceremony of Harley Race from "Championship Wrestling."


The Moondogs vs. British Bulldogs w/ Capt. Lou Albano

This is a non-title match. The Moondogs attack the Bulldogs before the bell. The Bulldogs fight back and whip the Moondogs into each other. Dynamite hits Rex with a snap suplex but Spot trips him up from behind. Spot tags and hits a suplex for a nearfall. The Moondogs use quick tags to isolate Dynamite, who hits a sunset flip on Spot for two but the Moondogs are able to maintain control. Dynamite then hits Rex with a crossbody that gets two. Dynamite hits Spot with a clothesline and tags Davey, who backdrops Spot. Davey then uses the double noggin knocker on the Moondogs as the match breaks down. Davey then tags himself back into the match and climbs up top and hits Rex with a crossbody for the win (4:25).

Thoughts: Match was fine but the Bulldogs have not really had a feud since they finished with the Dream Team. That would be changing in the coming weeks, however.


Resnick is with Jake Roberts and asks him about the movement to ban the DDT from wrestling. Jake believes that Ricky Steamboat is at the bottom of this then says that the DDT is cruel but fair and that it fits his lifestyle. He then brings out someone who shares his views and that person is Randy Savage. Jake talks about how everyone looks at rainbows as Savage say he has to point his finger at Jake because he freaks him out and has a great mind. This promo is so great that I have to show it to everyone:




Next week, Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff and Hercules Hernandez will team up in six-man tag action. Plus, Kamala, King Kong Bundy & Big John Studd, and Ricky Steamboat will all be in action.


Final Thoughts: Not a bad start. The Savage/Jake promo was money and too bad we didnt get to see them team up a lot in this era. The announcing was pretty bad though. Ladd seems like  anice guy but was incredibly boring and just spouted of lame cliches. Valiant at least gave us a few laughs and was not as grating as he has been in the past. This trio only lasted for the first taping (they taped three shows at a time) as Ladd & Valiant would be replaced by Bobby Heenan, which was easily for the best.

  4. I thought Kofi being in the group was a bad idea from the start. He's fine as a face, though I wish they'd have him win more often. Woods as the leader with Big E and Titus as his muscle would've been OK.

  5. I don't think so. He claims he came to propose and ended up beating the shit out of her. Two very different ends of the spectrum...

  18. Magoonie NOT Teddy BelmontAugust 12, 2014 at 6:47 PM

    Ehhhh, kinda, sorta, no. He was basically made by scientists to be this perfect human with all these powers. He did become a bit of a centerpiece in a religion kinda a while ago. He did get godlike powers by holding one of the infinity gems and later the infinity gauntlet. But those things give god like powers to anybody with the strength to wield them

    By the way there's a theory floating around that I don't 100% buy but is interesting. Adam Warlock is Starlords father in the MCU.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Ok, you got me with that one.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I know Quill is the son J'son of Spartax, but putting Warlock as his father would be a nice spin and would explain why Peter got to hold the infinty gem.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Watching Halloween Havoc 90. This is my first exposure to the Black Scorpion. In my opinion people gave WCW too much shit for daring to do assupernatural storyline without the WWF budget to pull it off. I think it had salvageable aspects.

  36. Paying it off with Flair had to be deflating. It could have been a new face in the vein of the Undertaker in the WWF who makes you say "Oh my God who is this guy?"

    A manager heel acting as a puppet master for Muta in the part could have worked.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Oh........how are they gonna write that one in, they don't have another Thor film planned for at least 3 years.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Magoonie NOT Teddy BelmontAugust 12, 2014 at 6:55 PM

    That's not 100% confirmed though. When the Collector is showing off his galactic slide show you never see Lokis spear. I still think we're only at three for right now until we hear otherwise. Adam Warlock MIGHT have the Soul Gem on him by the way.

  50. Magoonie NOT Teddy BelmontAugust 12, 2014 at 7:00 PM

    They have plenty of time to introduce the three remaining Gems. Remember all of them don't have to be introduced or come together until Avengers 3. So you introduce one in Thor 3, Guardians 2 and possibly Avengers 2. Or even possibly The Doctor Strange movie.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Yes, I'm trying to erase that movie out of my head. Fear also.

    ReplyDelete
  52. The Chicago crowd is rabid to see the Freebirds kill these dimestore Usos.

  59. They switched Shyamalan with a clone. That's the only way to explain how bad he has become.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I kinda liked that movie. Walhberg played a legit douchebag psycho in that film. Plus, I will never forget the roller coaster scene.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I'd agree. Bad show with a pretty great main event.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Magoonie NOT Teddy BelmontAugust 12, 2014 at 7:02 PM

    Yeah, it's not a completely out there theory I just don't buy it 100% yet. But Quills mother said his father was an angel which would make sense for Adam Warlock esspecially if he's holding onto the soul gem when he met her.

    ReplyDelete
  63. The three of them were standing together on stage during Hogan's b-day celebration.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Bad show with a pretty great main event.
    you just described every show in the attitude era.

  67. Trish Stratus, while still really good looking, looks completely different with brown hair.

  68. I find it funny that the 2 guys that seem to be mocked in Hollywood are Shyamalan and Bay.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Ha, they added 'Former WWE Superstar' to Brodus Clay's talking head segment.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Yep, like 1998 the year before had some HORRIBLE work rate right until Austin was in the main event. Both Unforgiven and a Over the Edge come to mind.

    wm xiv and summerslam 98 say "get it?"

    along with backlash 99

  72. At least SS98 had the ladder match in addition to the main event.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Magoonie NOT Teddy BelmontAugust 12, 2014 at 7:06 PM

    I HIGHLY doubt that for some reason. Just doesn't really fit with what I've heard they're doing with that movie. By the way if the problems plaguing that production and the rumors are true I have a feeling Nat Man may be Marvels first, true flop.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Cooler_Than_GuntherAugust 12, 2014 at 7:06 PM

    ugh, that's actually not a match i think of when i think "good," hah. never understood the love

  76. Still would outclass any diva today.

    ReplyDelete
  77. We'll see, everyone was saying the same thing with Guardians.

    ReplyDelete
  78. I don't think it's an all-time great, but still solid, no?

    ReplyDelete
  79. Did you just a take time machine to 1996 and find yourself at a Blockbuster? And how on earth do you mention the dudes but fail to mention Resse Witherspoon and Alyssa Milano in their prime?

    ReplyDelete

    If we include WCW, Fall Brawl 98 wins by a mile.

  109. Magoonie NOT Teddy BelmontAugust 12, 2014 at 7:13 PM

    Well with Guardians, people (including myself) were wondering how the general public was going to recieve a movie like this that was so out there. But the marketing and hard sell has been amazing on Marvels end. Ant Man, has been really bogged down by multiple production issues, differences in opinion with the previous director and the studio. From the way it sounds it's a clusterfuck working on that movie. When it's that bad behind the scenes, the finished product can suffer.

  111. I could watch the main event until I die but I'll pass on the rest.

    ReplyDelete
  112. It shouldn't matter what The Shield members do post-breakup, though. If that were the case, we'd have to say the Blade Runners are one of the greatest tag teams of all time because they later became Sting and Ultimate Warrior.

    ReplyDelete
  113. Thoughts on KOTR 98? Had the HITC and a semi-decent 1st blood match.

    ReplyDelete
  114. but I still feel you

    ReplyDelete
  115. KOTR 99 was pretty horrendous. I mean, Billy Gunn? Has to be the worst pick from the 90s aside from Mabel in 95.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Cooler_Than_GuntherAugust 12, 2014 at 7:15 PM

    1st place: best one

  119. if not for hitc no one would even remember that show. We knock WCW for having a glass ceiling during that time but the WWF did too. Nothing before Kane, Mankind, UT and Austin mattered.

  126. I always loved KotR, loved Road Dogg/Chyna. And Armageddon has Hunter/Vince which is epic.

    ReplyDelete
  127. That or the Hogan match at Mania.

  128. I love Survivor Series 98. I'm not sure why, though.

    i saw his match against flair at the 02 rumble live. pretty good and fun live

    ReplyDelete
  132. I hating that KotR, probably for the booking if nothing else. After they went back to Austin/McMahon it was obvious Russo was on fumes.

    ReplyDelete
  133. I love the three losers in the front row of that show dressed like Kane, Mankind and Goldust.

    ReplyDelete
  134. it was a fun show to watch live. Briscoe somehow stole the show. "Triple H can't rassle"

    ReplyDelete
  135. So when the booking is bad it's Russo but when it's good it's Vince? I know you're probably not saying that, but it's a slippery slope.

    ReplyDelete
  136. I take it that he had more than a little control at that point. From the accounts I heard Vince wasn't as hands-on then.

  141. That is not the case at all. As far as cable, Shaw Cable controls the west and Rogers controls the east due to collusion on their part years ago where they agreed to duo-monopolies to shut out competition. The only other options are IPTV like Sasktel here in Saskatchewan or Telus in BC/Alberta, and then the satellite companies. One of which is owned by Shaw.
