Full Report courtesy of JD Dunn:

Razor Ramon vs. Russ Greenberg.
Razor smacks the kid around and hits a Fallaway Slam. That leads to a chokeslam and a backdrop superplex. The Razor’s Edge finishes at 3:08.

Rev. Jesse Jackson and Randy Savage plug the Headlock on Hunger charity campaign.

Typhoon vs. L.A. Gore.
Get it? L.A. Gore. Invert the “L.A.” if you still haven’t gotten it. He looks like Diamond Dallas Page. Typhoon lets him bounce off a few times and nearly kills him with a powerslam that doesn’t quite make it all the way over. The fat-ass splash finishes at 2:58.

Heenan shouts at the production guy because he wasn’t given a solid cue. Finally, he brings out Giant Gonzales and Harvey Whippleman. Harvey is about as superfluous as the nipples on Gonzales’ costume. I know they wanted someone to cut promos for the Giant, but the cartoonish Whippleman just made him look weaker. Heenan and Whippleman talk about how big Gonzales is and then Gonzales cuts his own promo.

WrestleMania promo featuring Hulk Hogan. Hulk Hogan is at WrestleMania. Hulk Hogan will have a tag match. Hulk Hogan will team with Brutus Beefcake. Oh, and some guy named ‘Bert Hart’ will be there.

Commercial Break. Chuck Norris for Right Guard. Dan Cortese for Burger King.

Papa Shango vs. Bob Backlund.
Oh, yes, this will be a contrast in styles. Backlund tries to keep Shango neutralized with a wristlock, but Shango picks him up and gives him a backbreaker. Bartlett’s “Vince McMahon” is horrible and irritating. Who in the hell can’t do a Vince McMahon impression? Gorilla finally tells him to shut up. Shango works in the rope-assisted chinlock. Shango wanders around for a bit and stumbles into a small package at 6:50. 3/4*

WrestleMania report. Gene Okerlund hypes the show by saying he’ll be there in a toga.

The Nasty Boys vs. The Headshrinkers.
Afa is conspicuous by his absence. The Nasties are surprisingly over as babyfaces. It’s back and forth until Saggs gets nailed from the outside and superkicked. We go to break and come back to Samu missing the Superfly Splash. HOT TAG TO KNOBBS! Knobbs cleans house but makes the mistake of knocking their heads together. He makes up for it with a double DDT, and they all brawl to the concession stand for the DCOR at 8:26. **

Irony Report: Randy Savage, Brian Knobbs, and Hulk Hogan tell kids not to do drugs.
