New York, NY
PWF...the new standard in pro wrestling...
We are back in the grand daddy of all buildings, the epic Madison Square Gardens, where it all began.
Bobby Heenan comes out with his charges Nick Bockwinkel & Ray Stevens. Heenan reiterates that a new dawn has begun for the Heenan Family, which will once again dominate pro wrestling. Heenan announces that he has signed the newest member of the Heenan family, and the next one that will bring home gold to the family, Tessa Blanchard.
Blanchard comes out and rails against the politics of wrestling that got her blackballed, but is happy that there are no politics in PWF, only the best against the best! Then she turns her attention to her father. She says there seems to be a war for the services of Tully Blanchard & Arn Anderson (she calls them the Brain Busters). She plays to Tully's emotions asking him to come join her in the Heenan family.
The Horseman Theme plays and out comes J.J. Dillon and Ric Flair. They look outmanned but J.J. announces the newest addition to the Horsemen, big Sid Vicious! But now, while they are not out manned, they are still out womaned...until he calls out the next member of the Horsemen "group"...Charlotte Flair! Charlotte and Tessa go nose to nose and challenge each other to a bout tonight, while the same seems to be happening between Flair & Vicious and Bockwinkel & Stevens.
"Moist" by Push plays and Bret "the Hitman" Hart comes to the ring. He gets between Bockwinkel and Flair. He says all due respect to Flair and Vicious, they all know that he is the number one contender for Bockwinkel's Heavyweight title, when he won the Fatal Four Cage Match, way back at PWF #7, by defeating Undertaker, Sting, and Raven. He's waited long enough and wants his shot tonight.
"Obsession" by Animotion plays and our matchmaker Jack Tunney comes to the ring to sort things out. First of all he says, we have a full card tonight, including three other woman matches, so Tessa and Charlotte are just going to have to cool their heels. We've got a 3 way Hardcore bout with Sexy Star vs Shayna Baszler vs Leyla Hirsch, as well as a Four Way Tag match featuring Betty Nicoli & Jean Antone vs Sue Brittain & Akala Jan vs Joan Ballard & Jean Noble vs Noriyo Tateno & Itsuki Yamazaki. The other woman's match will feature Willow Nightingale against a woman who had a short but illustrious career in wrestling and he was very excited to sign to a PWF contract.
Next, Tunney addresses Bret Hart. He says that Hart's win was impressive, but there have been some other very impressive showings as well. He met with the championship committee and it was pointed out that Hart actually had a spot in the Heavyweight tournament but couldn't get the job done; getting distracted by Raven. There is one other wrestler who deserves to be at the front of the line for a title shot and who wasn't given a spot in the tournament. Tonight's main event will be a true #1 contenders match for the Heavyweight title; Bret Hart taking on Andre the Giant!
At first Heenan gets really excited, laughing at Hart, saying he's going to lose his number one spot. Then his face drops as Bockwinkel shakes him, realizing that would mean that Bockwinkel would have to face Andre. Grabbing the mic Heenan tells Bockwinkel not to worry, that he managed Andre the Giant once, and he is in negotiations with the Eighth Wonder of the World to rejoin the family. Bockwinkel looks dubious but Heenan looks confident.
Flair, Vicious, and Dillon have listened long enough. They step up and say they want Bockwinkel and Stevens in the ring tonight. Tunney says that is great idea, and that will be our semi-main event tonight. It will be a #1 contender match as well.....
Out to the ring comes the tag team champions, Tully Blanchard & Arn Anderson! Tessa tries to get a word with her dad, while both J.J. and Bobby try and suck up to Arn. The champs though shake them all off. They point out that they did not come out to a theme song tonight because they haven't decided who their manager should be. They say they see value in having a manager, and they have worked with both these guys before, and they are the top two managers in wrestling history. It's going to be a difficult decision.
However, they are not paper champions, they are fighting champions. No disrespect, they say, to their old friend Ric Flair, but while Flair and Vicious are great singles wrestlers, Nick Bockwinkel and Ray Stevens are a legendary tag team. They don't need a #1 contenders match, they know who they want to face, Bockwinkel & Stevens. Heenan seems happy that his men are getting a title shot, until Dillon steps up. He tells the tag champs that the challengers will have Heenan in the corner so it makes sense that for tonight they employ him as an advisor to be in their corner. After consulting with each other, Blanchard and Anderson tell him he has a gig, but they warn him, if he costs them the match he will be out of the running to sign them as a tag team.
Opening Bout
Pat O'Connor 6'0 230 lbs., Wanganui, New Zealand
v
Drew McIntyre 6'5 275 lbs., Ayr, Scotland
The bell rings and Pat O'Connor immediately showcases his technical prowess, catching Drew McIntyre in a quick arm drag followed by a textbook hammerlock. McIntyre powers out, but O'Connor transitions smoothly into a side headlock, grounding the Scotsman. Frustrated, McIntyre shoves O'Connor into the ropes, only to be met with a perfectly timed shoulder block.
O'Connor continues to outmaneuver McIntyre, applying a series of intricate holds and counters. However, McIntyre's raw power comes into play as he catches O'Connor with a thunderous overhead belly-to-belly suplex. The momentum shifts as McIntyre unleashes a flurry of strikes, culminating in his signature Future Shock DDT.
Just as it seems McIntyre has control, O'Connor surprises him with a quick roll-up for a near fall. Enraged, McIntyre charges at O'Connor, who sidesteps and applies his patented Figure Four Leglock. McIntyre struggles but eventually reaches the ropes.
In the match's closing moments, O'Connor attempts his famous O'Connor Roll, but McIntyre counters with a back elbow followed by a Claymore Kick. However, the referee catches McIntyre using the ropes for leverage during the pin attempt. Incensed by the call, McIntyre shoves the official. This distraction allows O'Connor to catch McIntyre from behind with the O'Connor roll and gets the vicotry.
[Pat O'Connor defeated Drew McIntyre by pinfall after an O'Connor Roll at 11:01]
Post-Match: McIntrye nails O'Connor from behind before nailing the ref with a Claymore kick.

Seizing the opportunity, Nicoli rolls up Ballard with a handful of tights. However, the referee catches the illegal move and admonishes Nicoli.

Tateno and Yamazaki emerge victorious in this thrilling encounter, as Flair and Blanchard continue their heated exchange on the outside.
[Tateno and Yamazaki (The Jumping Bomb Angels) won the 4-way tag match when Tateno pinned Nicoli after a rolling cradle at 9:29]
The announce crew were very excited about the next bout as they hyped up Canada's Greatest Athlete Gene Kiniski making his debut in PWF. Chris Jericho came to the ring first, he was accompanied by Ralphus. On the mic Jericho talked about watching this guy as a young Canadian, and knowing this was indeed his country's greatest athlete.
Excitement turned to disbelief though when instead of Gene Kiniski, we get another wrestler who always proclaimed himself to be Canada's greatest athlete.
Bout #3
Iron Mike Sharpe 6'4 283 lbs., Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
v
Chris Jericho (/w Ralphus) 5'11 227 lbs., Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
The bell rings and Chris Jericho, accompanied by his loyal stooge Ralphus, struts in the ring with a cocky smirk. Across from him stands Iron Mike Sharpe, proudly proclaiming himself "Canada's Greatest Athlete" complete with the cast adorning his right arm. Jericho, playing the heel to perfection, immediately mocks Sharpe's boast with exaggerated gestures of adoration.
As the match begins, Jericho attempts to embarrass the veteran with a series of open-handed slaps across the face. He follows up with a leg whip, sending Sharpe crashing to the mat. However, Jericho's overconfidence proves costly as Sharpe, drawing on his years of experience, catches the cocky opponent with a surprise small package for a near fall.
Stunned, Jericho retreats outside the ring, conferring with Ralphus while catching his breath. Sharpe, sensing momentum, charges at Jericho as he re-enters, attempting a clothesline with his cast-covered arm. But Jericho's agility proves superior, ducking under and countering with a quick crucifix roll for a two-count.
Realizing the danger, Jericho shifts gears. He whips Sharpe into the ropes and catches him with a picture-perfect slingshot suplex. Without missing a beat, Jericho comes off the ropes and soars through the air with his signature Lionsault. The impact is devastating, and the referee's hand slaps the mat three times, giving Jericho the victory.

Bout #6
PWF Tag Team Title Match
Tully Blanchard & Arn Anderson (/w J.J. Dillon) combined wt 480 lb.s (champions)
v
Nick Bockwinkel & Ray Stevens (/w Bobby Heenan) combined wt. 475 lbs.
Despite the open animosity between Heenan and Dillon (who is only acting as an advisor to the champs for the night), the four men who the fans don't like but probably repsect, surprise everyone by meeting in the middle of the ring and exchange tentative handshakes.
The match begins with a display of technical prowess as Bockwinkel and Blanchard lock up, trading arm drags and hip tosses. Stevens and Anderson tag in, showcasing their power with a series of shoulder blocks and clotheslines. The initial respect quickly fades as Blanchard catches Stevens with a low blow behind the referee's back.
The champions isolate Stevens, working over his left arm with brutal precision. Anderson applies a hammerlock, transitioning smoothly into a short-arm scissors. Bockwinkel finally breaks the hold with a desperation dropkick, allowing Stevens to tag in the fresh Bockwinkel.
Bockwinkel unleashes a flurry of European uppercuts on Blanchard before locking in his patented sleeper hold. Dillon, seeing his team in trouble, distracts the referee. Anderson seizes the opportunity, breaking the hold with a chair shot to Bockwinkel's back.
As the match reaches its climax, Stevens hits his trademark Bombs Away knee drop on Anderson. However, Dillon pulls the referee out of the ring just before the three count. Heenan, had enough. Heenan snaps, tackling Dillon to the ground in a fury of fists.
In the ensuing chaos, Anderson catches a distracted Stevens with a spinebuster. Blanchard follows up with a slingshot suplex, and Anderson adds their signature spike piledriver for good measure. The referee, having recovered, counts the three, giving the champions a hard-fought victory.
[Tully Blanchard & Arn Anderson defeated Nick Bockwinkel & Ray Stevens by pinfall when Anderson pins Stevens after a spiked piledriver at 14:22]
[Tully Blanchard & Arn Anderson retained the PWF Tag Team Titles]
Post-match, Heenan looks on with a mix of frustration and regret as his team leaves the ring defeated, while Dillon celebrates with the victorious champions, staring right at Heenan. Stevens is pissed off at Heenan but Bockwinkel tells him to back off, and the three men leave together.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander though. As Dillon is sucking up to the champs, Flair and Vicious come down to the ring. They want a title shot, and they want their manager to arrange it with his new best friends. The champs leave the Horsemen to sort out their affairs.
Main Event
#1 Contender Match for the PWF Heavyweight Title
Andre the Giant 7'4" 520 lbs. Grenoble, France
v
Bret Hart 6'0 235 lbs. Calgary, Alberta, Canada
As Bret "The Hitman" Hart and André the Giant square off in a highly anticipated #1 contender's match Bobby Heenan attempts to join André at ringside. But the Giant leaves the ring and walks and points, intimidating Heenan, sending him scurrying backstage.
Hart employs a hit-and-run strategy, peppering André with quick jabs and kicks. The Giant, unfazed, simply tosses Hart across the ring like a rag doll. Hart wisely rolls outside to regroup.
Back in the ring, Hart targets André's massive legs with precision kicks and a series of dropkicks. He manages to take the Giant down and follows up with a pointed elbow drop from the second turnbuckle. Hart ascends to the top rope, but André catches him by the throat. In desperation, Hart lands a low blow.
Undeterred, Hart attempts the same sequence, but André, even on one knee, grabs him by the throat and stands up. The referee calls for a break due to the choke, and Hart seizes the opportunity to rake André's eyes.
The Giant pursues Hart into the corner, but the Hitman slips out and pulls André face-first into the ring post. Hart applies a figure-four leglock around the post, but André's raw power kicks him off.
Back inside the ring Hart rebounds off the ropes, André catches him with a massive shoulder block. Bobby Heenan reappears at ringside, cheering on the Giant. Hart bounces off the ropes again, but Heenan trips him.
André, disgusted by Heenan's interference, reaches for the manager. Hart capitalizes with a running knee to André's back, sending both the Giant and Heenan tumbling to the floor.
André struggles to his feet as Heenan tries to assist him. Enraged, André grabs Heenan by the throat. Nick Bockwinkel and Ray Stevens rush out to intervene, but André releases Heenan so he can grab them instead in a double choke.
The bell rings as the referee has counted out Andre and declared Hart the winner.
[Bret Hart defeated Andre the Giant by countout at 9:39]
Post-Match: Andre releases his prey and the Heenan Family flees as fast as they can. Andre climbs the steps into the ring to protest. Hart wisely slides out of the ring and also heads to the back. Andre is left alone, frustrated, in the ring.
That's it for a wild edition of Perplexity Wrestling!

Bockwinkel unleashes a flurry of European uppercuts on Blanchard before locking in his patented sleeper hold. Dillon, seeing his team in trouble, distracts the referee. Anderson seizes the opportunity, breaking the hold with a chair shot to Bockwinkel's back.
As the match reaches its climax, Stevens hits his trademark Bombs Away knee drop on Anderson. However, Dillon pulls the referee out of the ring just before the three count. Heenan, had enough. Heenan snaps, tackling Dillon to the ground in a fury of fists.
In the ensuing chaos, Anderson catches a distracted Stevens with a spinebuster. Blanchard follows up with a slingshot suplex, and Anderson adds their signature spike piledriver for good measure. The referee, having recovered, counts the three, giving the champions a hard-fought victory.

Post-match, Heenan looks on with a mix of frustration and regret as his team leaves the ring defeated, while Dillon celebrates with the victorious champions, staring right at Heenan. Stevens is pissed off at Heenan but Bockwinkel tells him to back off, and the three men leave together.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander though. As Dillon is sucking up to the champs, Flair and Vicious come down to the ring. They want a title shot, and they want their manager to arrange it with his new best friends. The champs leave the Horsemen to sort out their affairs.
