Savage kicked out and took out his anger on Atlas, hitting an Exploder Suplex, teaming with Muraco for a Double Dropkick then nailing the vaunted Diving Elbow Drop. Slaughter broke up the subsequent pin then tagged in soon after, hitting a pair of Cannonballs on Muraco, who also was legal. Later, Savage sent the action outside with a Double Axe Handle on Atlas then Slammed him through a Table. Muraco returned and DDT’d Atlas but Mr. USA kicked out of the pin attempt.

Bundy DECIMATED Morales in this one. A Bundy Suplex and Bundy Body Slam early softened up Morales. Bundy proceeded to hit not one, not two but THREE Atlantic City Avalanches in the ensuing minutes. Morales must have used his instincts to kick out. A Power Slam ended this one, with Bundy getting the pin at 8 min 43 secs. ENDs were Bundy +2 and Morales -20. This series is OVER

NON-TITLE MATCH – World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan v Jake Roberts: the Snake showed why he has the nickname when he attacked Hogan before the latter’s championship defense on MD 19 (Hogan’s END was reduced by 6 but he still successfully defended). Roberts was in control of this one early, with a Bulldog as the highlight. After 4 mins ENDs were Roberts +7 and Hogan +1. The champ rallied with a pair of Running Clotheslines and an Axe Bomber. He nailed the Hogan Leg Drop and this one looked over, but Roberts kicked out at the last second (pin 1-12, rolled 13). Hogan earned a couple more pin attempts after a Running Clothesline and Stalling Suplex. Roberts hit a Gutbuster and Scoop Slam and had a pin attempt after an Inverted Atomic Drop. Both grapplers were exhausted, but we KNOW Hogan can go deep, and he did here with yet another Running Clothesline. The cover, the count, Hogan wins!

Lowell, MA
Referee = Earl Hebner

Ivan Putski v The Magnificent Don Muraco w/ manager Mr. Fuji: a Small Package gave Muraco the victory and series lead on MD 20. A Gorilla Press Slam, Muraco Stalling Suplex and Sidewalk Slam early demonstrated Muraco’s strength. Not to be outdone the muscular Pole performed a Polish Power Press Slam and Polish Hammer.

There is something in the air tonight and it is not Phil Collins. 4 min 42 secs

Tito Santana v Ivan Koloff w/ manager Captain Lou Albano: Santana was seen watching film of Koloff and must have spotted some chinks in his armor as he opened with a Running Crossbody and Diving Clothesline.

Santana had a near fall after a Headscissors Takedown (pin 1-10, rolled 7 but 6 6-sided). Tito hit a Flying Forearm Smash and covered. 1-2-3, Santana wins! 12 mins

The British Bulldogs v the Hart Foundation w/ manager Jimmy Hart: this exciting match was made even bigger when President Jack Tunney himself announced that the winner of this bout would face the winner of the MD 23 Muraco/Savage v Atlas/Slaughter bout (note that originally the opponent for the winner here was to be Steamboat/Putski but with Putski’s injury tonight…) to become the inaugural WWF World Tag Team Champions. This was Dynamite Kid’s first match back since his injury. The bell rang and the match went outside immediately, with the Kid hitting a Gutwrench Suplex on Jim Neidhart but Jimmy Hart bashing Kid with his Megaphone. Both legal wrestlers made it back inside. The Mouth of the South got involved again later but this time he inadvertently distracted Neidhart, allowing Davey Boy Smith to nail a Leaping Headbutt.

Garea hit a 2nd Rope Elbow Smash and applied an Octopus Hold. Savage landed his set-up move, the Macho High Knee then his finisher again, the Diving Elbow Drop.

The Dynamite Kid v Iron Mike Sharpe w/ manager Capt. Lou Albano: on MD 15 Sharpe entered the ring DDT’d the Dynamite Kid who was battling Valentine. Sharpe and Valentine then delivered a brutal beatdown that resulted in a 2-week injury. The returning Bulldog would not be stopped here. To steal Brock Lesnar’s phrase, the Dynamite Kid took Sharpe to Suplex City, hitting a Fisherman Suplex, German Suplex, Snap Suplex and Superplex. Sharpe got in a Body Slam before Kid Slammed him through the Announcer’s Table. A Sunset Flip by the Kid seemed like a tame finish but hey, wrestling matches aren’t scripted. Post-match, Sharpe pummeled DK so badly that the locker room emptied to pull Sharpe away. We may be in the nascent stages of this rivalry. 10 min 42 secs

Davey Boy Smith v The Iron Sheik w/ manager Adnan Al Kaissey: the Sheik forced a submission out of Smith in the 15th minute on MD 21 with the famed Camel Clutch. Here, the Brit had the advantage early with a Piledriver and Running Clothesline. The Iron Sheik came back when the action went outside, where he Slammed Smith through the Announcer’s Table (how many of these tables do they have?!?) then Hit him with a Steel Chair. The Sheik rolled him back inside and immediately applied the Camel Clutch. Smith submitted at 5 min 15 secs. Post-match, the Iron Sheik got cocky and cut off all ties with his manager and allies, including his tag team partner Volkoff, to focus solely on acquiring the “championship.”

Tony Atlas & Sgt. Slaughter v Don Muraco (w/ Fuji) & Randy Savage (w/ Elizabeth): the winner here faces the Hart Foundation on MD 24 for the WWF World Tag Team Championship. These teams faced each other on MD 21 where the Commissioner reversed a Slaughter pin on Muraco. During the faces’ pre-match interview, they were attacked by Ken Patera and Paul Orndorff (-5 END each!), putting them at a disadvantage from the outset. Savage twice utilized a Trash Can Lid early in this one. Muraco found a Yield Traffic Sign and bashed Atlas with that. Cone caught 1 of those 3 activities and also gave a DQ pt for a Double Dropkick by the heels. Slaughter and Atlas each earned a pin attempt with a Powerbomb and Atlas cut Savage with a Closed Fist. Savage hit Slaughter with a pair of Piledrivers and a Stunner. At the 21 min mark Slaughter attempted a Cannonball but was met right in the head with a Steel Chair held up by the Macho Man (-6 END). Miraculously, Slaughter kicked out of the subsequent pin attempt. Atlas tagged in and he and Slaughter teamed for a Double Russian Leg Sweep. Savage sent the action outside with a Double Axe Handle. Randy hit a Gutwrench Suplex and a Slam on Concrete. While the ref was distracted Muraco hit a Muraco Scoop Slam and rolled the weary Atlas into the ring. I don’t know how he kicked out of the Savage pin. Atlas had to feel vertigo when Savage held him up for a Vertical Suplex but he somehow got his foot on the ropes on the pin attempt. Slaughter tagged in and then Muraco, and the latter caught the military veteran in a Boston Crab. Slaughter submitted at 26 min 17 secs. ENDs were Slaughter -22, Atlas -19, Savage -5 and Muraco -5. Congrats to Savage and Muraco who face the Hart Foundation on MD 24 for the tag team belts.

Jimmy Snuka v the Honky Tonk Man w/ manager Jimmy Hart: HTM’s debut match. The bell rang, the Iron Sheik ran down and entered the ring, wielding a Tire Iron, and bashed Superfly in the Knee (-15 END)!!!! Snuka was fighting on one leg and had no chance. Honky Tonk Man hit a Shake Rattle & Roll, a Scoop Slam and a Honky Tonk Hip Toss. A 2nd Shake Rattle & Roll gave him the pinfall. Snuka was stretchered off and it was announced that he would miss 1 month of action. 4 min 26 secs

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: Champion Hulk Hogan v King Kong Bundy w/ manager Bobby Heenan: Bundy made a great entrance and drew some heat. Early highlights included a Heenan Fireball, Hogan Powerslam of the behemoth Bundy and a Bundy Suplex. At the 7 min mark we were tied at -4 END. Heenan tossed his client a Nightstick, who used it, and followed up with a Bundy Body Slam. Hogan was exhausted and had used his 2nd and final savvy. Could this be it for Hulkamania? Well, vitamins were eaten, prayers were said, and Hogan rallied with Hulked-Up Punches, a Hit with Chair and an Axe Bombers. Another set of Punches, a Big Boot a Bear Hug spelled the end for KKB, and he submitted meekly at 11 min 54 secs. Hogan remains your WWF World Heavyweight Champion!

Jake Roberts v Ken Patera w/ manager Bobby Heenan: this was a good one. The Snake connected on a Running Knee to Head and nailed a Bulldog. Patera landed a Chair Shot and hit a Piledriver.

WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP –winners become the inaugural champions – The Hart Foundation w/ manager Jimmy Hart v Don Muraco w/ manager Mr. Fuji and Randy Savage w/ valet Miss Elizabeth: the match required a pin or submission for the victors to become champions. These teams gave it everything they had. The action went outside early where Savage Body Slammed Neidhart on the Concrete and Bret Hart caught the Macho Man with a European Uppercut. The first pin attempt came in the 10th minute after a Savage Piledriver on Neidhart, but he kicked out just in time (pin 1-6, rolled 7). The Hitman tagged in and earned his team’s first pin attempt with a Bridging German Suplex on Muraco. Fuji pulled Hart outside the ring but the tactic backfired as the Hitman Slammed Muraco into the Ring Steps and Hit him with a Chair. Back inside he landed consecutive 2nd Rope Elbow Drops. A Muraco Gorilla Press Slam turned the momentum back in his team’s favor. Savage tagged in and the pin attempts came fast and furiously as he hit a Diving Elbow Drop, teamed for a Scoop Slam and Muraco Scoop Slam combo and nailed a pair of Piledrivers. Neidhart broke up two of the pin attempts and a battered Hart kicked out of the other. The Hart Foundation tried to rally as they teamed for a Double Clothesline and Neidhart hit a Discus Clothesline, but they couldn’t get out of their own way as the Mouth of the South accidentally tripped the Anvil. Then came a Hart Attack and pin attempt on Muraco, which Savage was forced to break up. Soon after the Hart Foundation teamed for a Shoulderblock and Sharpshooter on Savage. Somehow he escaped. Another Hart Attack followed, and this time Muraco broke up the pin. It was anyone’s match. Muraco tagged in and caught Bret in a Small Package. 1-2-3, Muraco and Savage are the World Tag Team Champions!

Dynamite Kid v Iron Mike Sharpe w/ manager Capt. Lou Albano: the Kid dominated their bout on MD 23, seemingly get revenge for injury caused by Sharpe, but Sharpe pummeled Kid post-match, necessitating the emptying of the locker room. Here, Sharpe had a couple of Quick Pin Moves early then controlled the match with a Power Slam, Vertical Suplex and Body Slam.

Tony Atlas & Sgt. Slaughter v Ken Patera & Paul Orndorff w/ manager Bobby Heenan: the heels attacked the faces pre-match before the latter’s’ bout with Muraco & Savage, putting them at a disadvantage in a bout that, if they won, would have given them a championship opportunity. I think the faces, specifically Slaughter, let their emotions get the better of them. Orndorff missed a corner move and KOd his partner early (out of action for 5 mins). Slaughter and Atlas teamed for a Double Back Elbow Smash, earned a warning from Lauer. A Back Rake by Slaughter earned a DQ point.

I've been posting results on the Facebook Downey Games page if anyone is interested.

Are you still on here running cards. I am going to start an 80's style territory era. TV Pro Universe. I was going to do 20 territories but it I made it down to 12... I have all the card sets from the eighties and a couple of the early expansion sets. There are lot of wrestler/manager cards I would like to see that have no cards. I posted my card wishlist above on the post thread. Maybe we can combine our efforts and run shows together here on this forum. We could pick which territories we would run and then have some kind of draft of the wrestlers, managers etc to fill out the rosters.
 
Derek K
Hi TG! Glad you are interested in the game! I just played last night, my first time in many many months. Moved and had the game in storage. I am running a WWF 80s federation. Probably not interested in working with anyone else on it but always interested in exchanging ideas.

Tony Atlas v Ken Patera w/ manager Bobby Heenan: Patera won the last encounter after a Heenan Eye Gouge allowed him to perform a Sheik Slam on MD 30. This was a pretty even bout, with both men applying Bear Hugs and Patera hitting a Piledriver, before the Brain inadvertently distracted his client, allowing Atlas to perform a Military Press Slam. Atlas a near fall after a Side Slam. But an Atlas Power Slam was too much and Mr. USA got the pinfall at 12:28. Then the real fireworks started! Heenan pummeled Patera, disgusted with his performance. The crowd was flabbergasted. Atlas actually pulled Heenan off, Body Slammed him, and helped Patera to his feet. Patera turns face!!!!

NON-TITLE BOUT: Ivan Putski and Ricky Steamboat v World Tag Team Champions Randy Savage w/ valet Elizabeth and Don Muraco w/ manager Mr. Fuji: there is a lot of history here, the most relevant being the nerve damage Putski suffered on MD 22 when Muraco used a Taser on him. This was a great match with every wrestler firing on all cylinders. An already excited crowd went bonkers when the faces double teamed Muraco early for a Spinning Heel Kick and Scoop Slam combination. A few minutes later they expressed their extreme displeasure when Savage applied an Electric Dog Collar to Putski. Hasn’t this man suffered enough?!?! Muraco hit a Gorilla Press Slam, Putski the Polish Hammer, Steamboat a Jumping Judo Chop and the Macho Man a Diving Elbow Drop. In the 12th minute Elizabeth hopped onto the apron and distracted Robinson, allowing Savage to execute an Eye Poke then Choke hold on Steamboat. A few minutes later both Savage and Steamboat tagged out. Everyone knew what SHOULD happen, AND IT DID! Putski and Steamboat teamed for a Double Back Elbow Smash on Muraco. Putski hit him with a Polish Hammer, a Polish Power Press Slam and finally, a Scoop Slam. He covered, Robinson counted, 1-2-3, Putski gets the pin on Muraco! I bet the next time we see these teams the belts will on the line. 18:10

Junkyard Dog v Greg Valentine w/ manager Jimmy Hart: tremendous opening match! The set-up for this one was that Valentine was part of the pre-match assault on JYD on MD 32. Here, Valentine began the match playing mind games, repeatedly rolling out of the ring. JYD took matters into his own hands, grabbing a Steel Chair and whacking the Hammer on the back. Valentine executed a Neckbreaker and JYD an Irish Whip into Corner. The first pin attempt came at the 9:30 mark after JYD hit The Thump (Powerslam). An exhausted Valentine used his Savvy to get out of the pin. JYD then went off, hitting the Thump again, a DDT, a Snap Suplex, a Turnbuckle Ram and JYD Headbutts. All told he earned 6 pin attempts where Valentine was 1-8 OR GREATER to be pinned, and he kicked out of all of them! ENDs were JYD -5 and Valentine -25. The Hammer hit a Body Slam and covered, but an exhausted JYD kicked out. The action went outside, Jimmy Hart Slammed JYD into the Ring steps then rolled him back into the ring. Valentine covered, Heber counted, 1-2-3, Valentine wins! Hats off to the Hammer. 14:57

Dynamite Kid v Jesse Ventura w/ tag team partner Adrian Adonis: debut bout for the Body. Facing a difficult task to equal the first match, somehow these guys did it, producing another excellent wrestling match. Ventura opened the bout with FIVE consecutive 2-Pt maneuvers (I kept rolling “2”), a Knee to Back, a pair of Piledrivers, a Hip Roll and a Suplex. 2:30 into the match and the Kid was already tired. Jesse earned pin attempts after an Inverted Body Vice and Bear Hugs, and also nailed a Sidewalk Slam. He was putting on a clinic. The Dynamite kid landed a Front Dropkick and earned a pin attempt with a Bridging German Suplex. At the 7 minute mark ENDs were Ventura 0 and Dynamite -10. Adonis passed Brass Knuckles to Ventura and he used them. He also Hit Kid with a Steel Chair. The Dynamite Kid performed a Diving Headbutt and Superplex, wowing the crowd. Ventura connected with a Closed Fist to Head, drawing blood. Kid nailed a Gutwrench Suplex. Ventura applied a second Inverted Body Vice and squeezed, but somehow the Kid escaped (submission 1-13, rolled 16). The Dynamite Kid landed a second Diving Headbutt and covered. 1-2-3, dynamite comeback Dynamite Kid!16:57

Ken Patera v Honky Tonk Man w/ manager Jimmy Hart: recall that the strongman Patera turned face on MD 32 after he lost to Tony Atlas and his manager Bobby Heenan pummeled him. He clearly didn’t have his mind right yet, as HTM dominated this brief encounter, performing a Honky Tonk Hip Toss and Scoop Slam before Hart Threw a Fireball, allowing Honky Tonk to finish Patera with the Shake Rattle & Roll. Pinfall at 2:56

Hillbilly Jim v Nikolai Volkoff w/ manager Adnan Al Kaissey: Jim nearly ended this one at the outset when he caught the Russian in a Bear Hug as the bell rang (submission 1-4, rolled 5). But only a few minutes later, it was Volkoff who applied the Bear Hug after an Al Kaissey Fireball (was there a Fireball sale in Maine that day?). Volkoff got the pinfall immediately after. 3:37

Tony Atlas v King Kong Bundy w/ manager Bobby Heenan: pre-match Adrian Adonis vows revenge on Bulldogs and challenges to tag match. Davey Boy Smith accepts but wants singles bout as well, and the latter is scheduled for MD 34. Bundy received an early warning for a Kick to Groin but then got away with a Blatant Choke. Atlas impressed with a Powerslam and Military Press Slam. Heenan spread some Thumbtacks in one section of the ring and distracted the referee, allowing Bundy to Bodyslam Atlas onto them. Bundy nailed a 2nd Rope Butt Drop and Knee Drop. Atlas responded with another Powerslam and covered the spent behemoth. 1-2-3, Atlas earns the upset victory! 8:09

Jake Roberts and World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan v the Hart Foundation w/ manager Jimmy Hart: if you didn’t know better you might think the WWF was saving Hogan for his championship bout against Don Muraco on MD 34. He never got into the match as the Hitman caught the Snake in a Quick Roll-Up and got the 3-count at 1:50.

Tito Santana v Honky Tonk Man with manager Jimmy Hart: HTM seemed to have the advantage in the 7th minute when he waited too long to perform his finisher and Santana hit him with a Running Clothesline. Tito followed it up with a pair of Flying Forearm Smashes and earned the pinfall at 8:44.

Davey Boy Smith v Adrian Adonis w/ tag team partner Jesse Ventura: Adonis was hot out of the gate, performing a Shoulderdrop from Top Rope, Sitout Powerbomb and Release German Suplex. Smith was tired only 2 minutes into the bout. Davey Boy hit a Running Clothesline and covered but James was distracted by a battle outside the ring between Ventura and Smith’s partner, the Dynamite Kid, who had just walked down the ramp. Just as Adonis reversed the pin attempt James turned around and counted, while Adonis used the ropes for leverage, 1-2-kick out at last second (pin 1-8, rolled 9). Then just as the Dynamite Kid was jawing with Adonis, Smith rolled him up in a Small Package, but Ventura broke up the pin without the referee seeing (roll of 1 on 20-sided die – this is my own innovation – when a wrestler has a ringside ally, a roll of 1 is a pin/sub breakup by that person). Adonis earned a DQ point for a Blatant Choke. Smith hit a Delayed Vertical Suplex and Running Powerslam. After an Adonis Sleeper at the 12 minute mark the match was dead even at -9 END. Smith hit a Running Powerslam and covered. 1-2-3, Davey Boy wins! The Bulldogs took both singles bouts against the East-West Connection. Next up with a tag team encounter. 13:15

Dean Ho v Paul Orndorff w/ manager Bobby Heenan: like Adonis in the last bout, Dean Ho came out on fire, executinging a Top Rope Body Press, Hip Toss, Reverse Atomic Drop, Hawaiian Neckbreaker and Surfboard in the opening minute, and he would have earned the submission with the Surfboard had Heenan not broken it up (rolled 1 on 20-sided die again). Mr. Wonderful performed a few single point maneuvers as well as a Running Clothesline before he caught Ho in a Sleeper. He had him locked in good, Ho was tiring rapidly, and the referee called for the bell at 6:36. Submission victory for Orndorff.

Ivan Putski v World Tag Team Champion Randy Savage w/ valet Miss Elizabeth: the Macho Man must have had the Match Day 36 tag team title match on his mind because he certainly appeared unprepared for this. Putski hit an early Body Slam and got the surprise pinfall (pin 1-3, rolled 2). Huge upset! 1:41

Junkyard Dog & Tony Garea v Iron Mike Sharpe & Ivan Koloff w/ manager Captain Lou Albano: these teams wrestled to a double countout in the 22nd minute on MD 31. Here, the Moondogs came to ringside pre-match and intimidated James (heels’ ENDs increased by 5): While JYD and Koloff were wrestling Sharpe replaced the foam in his corner turnbuckle with a Steel Plate, and soon after JYD was KO’d when Koloff bashed JYD’s head into it (-15 END). Koloff applied a pair of Bear Hugs, both of which were broken up by Garea. Tony tagged in and hit a Dropkick and Moonsault. Sharpe replaced Koloff and performed a Full Nelson Slam and Boston Crab. A woozy JYD broke up the submission attempt. Koloff returned and applied another Bear Hug then landed a vicious Russian Sickle on Garea. Easy 1-2-3 and victory for the heels. 12:22

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP: Champion Hulk Hogan v World Tag Team Champion Don Muraco w/ manager Mr. Fuji: Ivan Putski watched from ringside pre-match and distracted the challenger (-3 END). We all knew how this was gonna go. But it didn’t make the fans any less excited. Hogan’s entrance music hit, the crowd exploded. Muraco hit an early Stalling Suplex and Hogan earned a pin attempt with a Body Slam. Out of nowhere, Jake “the Snake” Roberts, Hogan’s friend, whom he had shaken hands with after they wrestled and Jake turned face, a man Hogan teamed with, TURNED HEEL AND KO’D HOGAN!!! Muraco looked at Fuji, the manager pointed to the fallen champion, Muraco covered, James counted, 1-2-are you ready for this? – 3, Don Muraco is the new WWF World Heavyweight Champion!!! 5:00. I don’t think WTF was a thing back then but this may have been its origin.
