Comments: well this was certainly a match/match slot which had a little bit of many things. Our Referee for this match is Earl Hebner, so Beefcake and Hogan at different points go to do this whole in a wrestling sense punching thing but everyone I get it. It shows that they are eager to start or continuing battling, I would usually leave this kind of thing alone, there is a fair bit of let's just say theatre in this match/match slot, which I will not be discussing every little detail, because even though this is the spoiler alarm version, I still don't like giving too much away and only if it is necessary. But moving on to my next point; Beefcake is wearing a protective mask so of course I.R.S holds Beefcake so that DiBiase can perform an axe handle from the second turnbuckle on the far left to right [in their corner] and obviously this hurts DiBiase because of the mask, then a moment or two later in a nutshell DiBiase does the whole bouncing the head off the bottom right turnbuckle on Beefcake, but obviously this doesn't work because of the reasons of the mask; in fact Beefcake does this whole wagging finger thing and then returns the favour and then Beefcake does the finger wag again when Dibiase is on the mat after his team yet again returns the favour and does a axe handle from the second turn buckle [in their corner] yes Hogan actually does a high risk move [in his move set I would consider this to be a high risk move considering he doesn't go to the high risk district that often] and finally in the first section of this match we have the Champions outside of the ring on the side of the entrance to the ring. Beefcake and Hogan are celebrating individually on their own; Beefcake goes in for a high 10, but he gets left hanging there as Hogan is busy being Hogan.

The champions head for backstage under the impression that they can get counted out and retain their championship's, but Hebner makes a executive decision and informs our Ring announcer Maximus basically; if they don't come back they will lose this match and their championships. Now for the observant people someone with a little bit of comedy now; in the crowd is clearly giving the bird to Dibiase, all I am going to say is look around on the right-hand side as these champions find out this ruling and come back to the ring, it is somewhere around here.

But back to this match.

On resuming this match Hogan points out that throughout all of this that as things stand DibBiase is not the legal man and I have locked back at this and Hogan is correct. A little bit later we have Dibiase and Hogan down, Hebner dealing with I.R.S in the champion’s corner, but Hebner almost falls over DiBiase as Hebner is backing up from dealing with I.R.S. Finally Hebner is down and there is some controversy.

Basic Result: And Your New; wait what another Referee Dangerous Danny Davis quickly comes down to the ring and sorted out the decision, Still You’re the WWF Tag Team Champions Money Inc. "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase & I.R.S. [In a nutshell; what we have here is a case of keeping everyone strong, without changing the champions.]

Basic walk-through of this event:

* The Mega-Maniacs: Hulk Hogan & Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake [with "Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart;] basically clearing the ring of the WWF Tag Team Champions Money Inc. "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase & I.R.S and Davis

* Hulk Hogan's theme music hits "Real American" they start celebrating in the ring, we momentarily have the contrary team on-screen and then back to the celebrations in the ring, in fact they even have a little bit more fun at DiBiase's expense.

* Todd Pettengill: Interviewer tries to interview Natalie Cole about what just happened and her next project and then Pettengill moves on to interview the CEO-Caesar's Palace Dan Reichartz in a nutshell it was about previous events held here and this event, can I just point out how stupid it was to try and hold no one but to interviews over what was happening in the ring and yes we don’t see what is happening in the ring, but when you have Hogan and his theme music, good luck with trying to hear anyone over that.

* "Mean" Gene Okerlund: Interviewer Mr. Perfect they discuss Luther and his devastating forearm metal plating in his arm, including very recently at this Mania brunch when Luther knocked out the WWF Champion Hart. So we have Perfect doing/saying is usual perfect promo, it was so serious and spot on until we got to " The Narcissist" Lex Luger, blooper let's just say he got tongue tied and Okerlund helped him out a little with Perfect just glossing over it with he is excited; it is comical as they both know they are trying to cover this up with Perfect walking out of the screen going to do the wrestling thing, with Okerlund in short don't go too far I want to go to the table is with you.

* Finkus Maximus: Ring announcer the stipulations and then introduces the competitors.

* "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Jim Ross & Bobby "The Brain" Heenan/"Wiesel": Commentary talk basically the ongoing situation with Luger, with him knocking everyone out with his forearm metal plating and what happened at this Mania's branch and the WWF Champions Hart with him also getting knocked out. Moving on I can only apologise for the commentary table's comments towards these women that escort Luger to the ring, Ross is the only one that for a 99.9% keeps a professional okay he may have a little very tiny laugh and a comment and yes I will be taking the mark off in the next content because of this. I know it was a different world back then and no I am not being woke, but these men are of a certain age and it is not pleasant for them to be acting like this [I should just point out and I am not defending them, but there is always a possibility that some of this may be being fed into their headsets, yes this is speculation but I needed to be fair and balanced so either or not cool.]
