Recommend Watch: 7/10

Match Total: 41/60 - this match is good

Comments: this match/match slot is solidly good, Monsoon criticises the Referee [Dick Kroll] about him seeing or not seeing we Kai heel wrestling tactics of pulling the hair, I am loosely paraphrasing here; if you see it call, it if you don't don't worry about it but don't question Kai about it have. Manager cam in operation again firstly Lauper and then a little later Moolah. Now on listening/observation Finkel says the word Ladies Champion after this match but when the graphic it says Women's Champion I have even looked at the graphic just before this match kicks off it definitely says Women's, so what is going on here? Is it Ladies or Women's [ hence why I have decided to put both.] I mean even  Moolah gets colder a previous Ladies' Champion in her introduction, but she has never been a Ladies' Champion, but however she has been a 4x WWF Women's Champion. Yes this kind of thing if you haven't guessed all of not using Championships proper names at that specific time at the very least irritate me profusely and finally I need to highlight this; the crowd came through for this match/match slot hanging.

Basic Result: your new the WWF Ladies'/Women's Champion Wendi Richter [with Cyndi Lauper and David Wolf]

Background information: Monsoon and Venture look at/discuss the replay. Now this is purely speculation, but I can back it up with little bits of fact or coincidental fact at the very least. Now I do get the feeling that they are running out of air time to run this pay-per-view, just based on Monsoon tries to hand things to Okerlund, but he is not ready, so monsoon and Venture talk some more about what they have just seen and then Monsoon hand it to Okerlund so you can get a interview with the new the WWF Ladies'/Women's Champion and Lauper with Wolf and Captain Lou Albano in the shot; Okerlund sending things back to Monsoon and Venture; monsoon saying some more comments about this situation and then handing things over to Finkel to begin essentially the ceremony [if or when you come to watch this you will understand this better] for this main event. Finkel introduces the special guest ring announcer Billy Martin [I should kindly pointed out that Finkel becomes the oversteer of this ceremony as he begins to read the paper that Martin is reading; I know this because you can hear Finkel read it to him or for him and it just before this our special guest referee quietly sneaks into the ring and stand in the corner, it is Pat Patterson.]

Martin introduces special guest timekeeper Liberace with special guests The Rockettes, then our special guest referee outside of the ring Mohammed Ali.

Now the crowd were still hot from the previous match as in enthusiastic and loud which they have been up to this point the of all this ceremonial stuff, but for the next bit they go and turn on the heels which in a kayfabe sense you always want; they get loud boos with garbage being thrown into the ring;"Rowdy" Roddy Piper," Roddy Piper [possibly Attracting more heat or Piper giving someone a look, security quickly moved things on as they were making their way down to the ring] & “Dangerous Men Mr Wonderful" Paul Orndorff [with "Ace Cowboy" Bob Orton then we have the WWF Champion Hulk Hogan & Bad Man Mr. T. [with "SuperFly" Jimmy Snuka.]

Two final things; everyone receives security down to the ring here and the final thing is; you know when I said I think they were running out of time for this pay-per-view, we don't hear from Hayes; yes we see him as the WWF Champion, T. and Snuka make their entrance down to the ring from the back [Hayes is on the right hand side] but in the interest of fairness and balance this could have been the plan of how things were going to go down, but it does seem a little bit odd not to give him a little something to do at this point considering he has been doing it this entire pay-per-view up to this point, the more I think about it the more I think it is really weird, considering they could have pulled the plug on him much sooner just based on the stick he has been getting on this night from some of the locker room.
