9.Hulk Hogan and Andre The Giant {w/Ted Dibiase and Virgil} fought to a Double Disqualification - 05:22.
10.Ted Dibiase defeated Don Muraco {w/Billy Graham} - 05:44.
11.Randy Savage {w/Miss Elizabeth} defeated Greg Valentine {W/Jimmy Hart} - 06:06.
12.Brutus Beefcake defeated The Honky Tonk man {C} {w/Jimmy Hart and Peggy Sue} via a Disqualification to retain the WWF Intercontinental Championship - 06:30.
13.The Islanders {Haky and Tama} and Bobby Heenan defeated The British Bulldogs {Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid} and Koko B.Ware in a Six Man Tag Team match - 07:30.
14.Randy Savage {w/Miss Elizabeth} defeated One Man Gang {w/Slick} by a Disqualification - 04:05.
15.Demolition {Ax and Smash} {w/Mr Fuji} defeated Strike Force {Rick Martel and Tito Santana} {C} to retain the WWF Tag Team Championship.
16.Randy Savage {w/Miss Elizabeth and Hulk Hogan} defeated Ted Dibiase {w/Andre The Giant} to win the Vacant WWF Championship.
So this show was basically built around the tournament to crown a new WWF Champion but this show had some matches out of this tournament.You had the show opened with a Twenty man over the top rope battle royal which had some strong talent in it including Harley Race & Junkyard Dog & Bret Hart & Bad News Brown & Jim Neidhart & George Steele and others.The battle royal was won by Bad News Brown who last eliminating Bret Hart and then one of the two WM moments that happened in this show in my opinion occured when Bret took Brown's throphy and broke it.Also on the show The Ultimate Warrior defeated Hercules in a great shocasing Wrestlemania debut for Warrior who became a major player in the years to come.You had a match for the WWF Intercontinental Championship when Beefcake defeated Honky Tonk man via a DQ and didn't win the title.Also you had the Six man tag involving The Islanders and Bobby Heenan who all defeated The British Bulldogs and Koko B.Ware in a nice match.The last match that wasn't a part of the tournament that occured was in my opinion the 2nd best match of the night when Demolition defeated Strike Force to win their first WWF Tag Team Championship which was a great moment on its own.
The WWF Championship Tournament:
{Rude vs Roberts}
First Round:
Most of the first round matches were pretty decent and most of them were around five minutes and those matches were:Dibiase defeating Jim Duggan ; Don Muraco defeating Dino Bravo via a DQ ; Greg Valentine defeating Ricky Steamboat ; Randy Savage defeating Butch Reed and The One Man Gang defeating Bam Bam Bigelow via a Count Out.Now there is one match in this round that I
do want to talk about and this is in my opinion the unquestioned match of the night in this show when Rick Rude and Jake Roberts fought to a 15 Minutes Time Limit Draw.Both of these guys are great perfomers and all of us know that and they put on a great match.
Quater Final:
{Hogan vs Andre}
So in this round there were only three matches.None of them were outstanding but they were solid matches and each of them went for 5-6 minutes.In this round you had:Hulk Hogan and Andre The Giant fighting for a double Disqualification in the first Rematch in Wrestlemania history.You had Ted Dibiase defeating Don Muraco & Randy Savage defeating Greg Valentine.Again neither one of these matches were good so those are not the greatest WM matches you will ever see but they were decent matches.
Semi Final:
{Savage vs One Man Gang}
As a result of the quater finals Dibiase got a BYE into the final match and there was only one semi-final match between Randy Savage and One Man Gang.This was not a spectacular match but this was the semi-final and we should take it {I can't talk it about this match it was only 4 minutes long}.
The Final:
{Savage after winning the title}.
This was a nice match with Andre The Giant and Hulk Hogan interfering in the match and in the end Savage hit the elbow on Dibiase to win the championship.
As far as celebrity guests are being talked about this show there were some celebrities and like at Wrestlemania III they weren't a lot and they were a minor part of the show.They were both Bob Uecker {like the year before he was a guest commentator & guest ring announcer & an interviewer} and Gladys Knight {who sang America The Beautiful}.
If I could have change this show this is how the card would have looked:
1.Bad News Brown won a Twenty Man Battle Royal by last eliminating Bret Hart.
2.Ted Dibiase defeated Jim Duggan.
3.Greg Valentine defeated Dino Bravo via a Disqualification.
4.Ricky Steamboat defeated The One Man Gang.
5.Randy Savage defeated Butch Reed.
6.Don Muraco defeated Bam Bam Bigelow via a Count Out.
7.Jake Roberts and Rick Rude fought to a Time Limit Draw.
8.The Ultimate Warrior defeated Hercules.
9.Ted Dibiase defeated Greg Valentine.
10.Hulk Hogan vs Andre The Giant ended in a Double Disqualification.
11.Randy Savage defeated Don Muraco.
12.Brutus Beefcake defeated The Honky Tonk Man {C} via a Disqualification to retain the WWF Intercontinental Championship.
13.The Islanders {Haku and Tama} and Bobby Heenan defeated The British Bulldogs {Davey Boy Smith and Dynamie Kid} and Koko B.Ware in a Six Man Tag Team match.
14.Randy Savage defeated Ricky Steamboat.
15.Demolition {Ax and Smash} defeated Strike Force {Rick Martel and Tito Santana} {C} to win the WWF Tag Team Championship.
16.Randy Savage defeated Ted Dibiase to win the Vacant WWF Championship.
So this was Wrestlemania IV and come back to see more WM History Lessons and how should this history been written.
But until then I will see all of you next time.
