Best of the WWF, #2.

- Opening match, WWF tag titles: Tony Atlas & Rocky Johnson v. Adrian Adonis & Dick Murdoch. Rocky is, of course, the proud papa of the current People's Champion. Remember when Adonis used to be a tough guy? Johnson does all the goofy babyface stuff that Maivia tried and failed to
use as a babyface. The heels beat on Atlas for a few minutes until Rocky cleans house, but gets rolled up in a melee by Adonis for a three
count. New champions. This was major, Nitro level shock booking in it's time. 1 for 1.

- Intercontinental title match: Pedro Morales v. Magnificent Muraco.  Pedro was I-C champ, but was pretty much past his prime. Morales just beats the hell out of Muraco until a well-placed low blow turns the tide. Morales retuns the favor. What is this, a Kevin Sullivan match? Pedro bungs up his knee on a charge to the corner. Idiotic move as he gives Muraco a backbreaker on his own bad knee. He tries a slam but the knee caves and Muraco regains the title. Two title changes to start, not bad. 2 for 2.

- Pedro Morales v. Killer Kowalski. More old-school stuff, with a capital O. Kowalski is the guy who trained both HHH and Chyna. This is mainly Killer working on Pedro's leg and stomach with the claw. I still don't get what was so great about Pedro. Things get a wee bit out of control and the ref calls a no-contest. Bleh. 2 for 3.

- MIDGET MADNESS!! Hey, I don't write these titles, the WWF does.  Jamaica Kid & Billy The Kid v. Sky Lowlow & Little Brutus. It's a damn midget match, close your eyes and pick any four midgets and it's the same damn match. 2 for 4.

- MIDGET DEMENTIA!! Okay, I wrote that one. Sky Lowlow & Little Brutus v. Joey Russel & Sunny Boy Hayes. When you're watching midget jobbers, it's time to fast forward. 2 for 5.

- Chief Jay Strongbow v. Professor Toru Tanaka. Clash of the racial stereotypes, yikes. How did Strongbow ever get over or pushed?  I'll never forgive the WWF for making me sit through, like, 4 matches featuring the Indians on the tag title video. Strongbow with the devastating big chop. Sigh. 2 for 6.

- Mean Gene sings "Tutti Frutti" with Hulk on bass. This was from the original Wrestling Album, and I GUARANTEE you that this goes on Netcop Busts Vol. II.

- Intercontintal title: Tito Santana v. Paul Orndorff. People were actually doing the Paula chant in 84, cool. Gorilla hypes this as a classic, but it's a classic in the same sense as most Nitros are the
greatest in the history of our sport. 4 minutes of stalling and a 5-minute armbar to start. Must be a draw. Orndorff spends way too much time standing around in between spots. Good hot ending saves it as they trade near falls with a slow referee, and sure enough Orndorff gets one last two count before the time runs out. It was decent enough. 3 for 7.

- A quick collection of "surprise endings." Included are Rocky Johnson getting DQ'd against Don Muraco for popping the referee, Freddie Blassie
getting caught in the ropes and counted out against Bobo Brazil, Andre getting pissed at a masked jobber and unmasking him, and Tony Garea/Rick
Martel going over the Moondogs when special ref Gorilla Monsoon takes out a Moondog.
