WWE WrestleMania VII

That was before I was a, uh, a Japan fan.

Uh, oh, yes, so they did wrestle at WrestleMania VII.

And it was Demolition that, but it was Smash and Crush, so it wasn't really Demolition

It is like, you know, half a Demolition.

It was okay.

So if I told you that Tamaru and Kitao, out of nowhere, competed at WrestleMania VII against Demolition, who, who would you say won that match, Josh?

I would assume Demolition essentially squashed these foreigners.

Uh, you would be very incorrect, sir.

Mm-hmm.

He only beat Jimmy Snuka at WrestleMania VII, but he's now he's fighting Jake The Snake Roberts, who was one of my favorites going into this pay-per-view.

But unfortunately, this is the last time we see Jake until 1996.

Hmm.

Like, you're Jake The Snake Roberts.

Like, we can't just let you go." Well, Vince finally agreed under pressure.

Finally, [sighs] "You can leave after your WrestleMania VIII match." So as soon as Jake The Snake Roberts leaves this match, he, he's done.

He, he, he leaves, but he honors the tradition of putting over talent when you leave a territory, and Jake puts over Undertaker clean.

See what happens.

Uh, so the number one match that we're starting off with, uh, on this bracket, a rematch from WrestleMania VII, The Undertaker taking on Jake "The Snake" Roberts.

Uh, th- one of my thought processes was, can I have Mean Mark instead of The Undertaker?

[laughs]

We will see a cobra.

We will see voodoo magic on, on Undertaker's side.

I think, you know, the, just the, the loom of that match-up at WrestleMania VIII, I said it was VII before, it was VIII.

It was VIII, yes.

Kevin Sullivan is, uh, over Genichiro, uh, Tenryu.

Tenryu, he's like, um, he wrestled at, like, WrestleMania VII with another Japanese wrestler against, like, Demolition, like, Crush.

You know, an A- and Ax and Crush.

And he was in, like, a Royal Rumble.

He did a big match against Flair.

This guy's really famous, but he- At VII.

Yeah, yeah, WrestleMania VII, that guy.

He was a little bit older at the time, right? So, and, you know, old, old, but you know, not a young guy.

The huge match that was billed as the main event that's not the main event, Macho Man Randy Savage versus The Ultimate Warrior.

That is kind of one of those things where you look at it and you're like, "Okay, no Hogan," but you have Macho Man and you have Warrior, and they're r- wrestling each other in a rematch from WrestleMania VII.

So that is a huge selling point in, in and of its own, and that, I think, kinda got them over the hump of not having Hogan there and not having that one huge draw, but having two pretty damn big draws, almost as big as Hogan.

So I think that- When you look at it and you're looking at it, you're like, "Okay, this is gonna draw well," and it does, obviously.

So The Ultimate Warrior defeats Randy "Macho Man" Savage via count out in 28 minutes, which means that Macho Man Randy Savage retains his WWF World Heavyweight Championship.

Great match.

Not as good as WrestleMania VII, but great.

If you haven't seen it, go out of your way.
