WWF Championship Wrestling (March 9, 1985)

 

Original Airdate: March 9, 1985 (taped February 12)


From Poughkeepsie, New York; Your Hosts are Vince McMahon and Bruno Sammartino


Junkyard Dog v AJ Petruzzi: JYD with a scoop powerslam at 2:47. DUD


Lord Alfred Hayes is in the studio with Update, giving us a look at how angry Andre the Giant is after his forced haircut. Studd did him a favor


Don Muraco v Pete Pompeii: Muraco with a tombstone at 2:58. DUD


WWF Intercontinental Champion Greg Valentine isn’t going to lose his title to no Tito


Hillbilly Jim v Charlie Fulton: Girl referee! In 1985! Jim with a bearhug at 2:33. DUD


Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff are going to take the tag title, now that the governor is off


Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff v Sean O'Grady and Brian O'Grady: Vince notes that this is the debut of the O’Grady brothers, as if that’s supposed to mean shit to anyone. Sheik with the camel clutch at 1:52. DUD


Roddy Piper hosts Piper’s Pit with Paul Orndorff, and you can guess who their politically correct ramblings are aimed at


Greg Valentine v Aldo Marino: The WWF Intercontinental title is not on the line. Aldo neither has a jockstrap on his face or trendy leather shoes, so I don’t know what to make of him. Valentine with the figure four at 2:49. DUD


WrestleMania ad


Recently, WWF Champion Hulk Hogan and Mr. T did some training together, out on the streets. Eye of the Tiger comes into play


Jack Reynolds catches up with Big John Studd, who has cash in one hand, and Andre’s hair clippings in the other. I hope he can remember which is where 


Gene Okerlund catches up with Wendi Richter and Cyndi Lauper, who don’t care, they’re coming for the title at WrestleMania 


BUExperience: Kind of a lame duck of an episode in the WrestleMania build.
