Magnum has been Jake Blackheart's ally/lackey the last couple months. Blast's decisive win sent a clear message to the US Champion.

At a special set by the ring entrance area, Commissioner Pedro Gonzalez (joined by various WCWF VIPs and current World Champion Randy "The Ram" Robinson) describes the great career of "The Living Legend" Mario Mancini. Two decades in WCWF, more than half of that time spent as World Heavyweight Champion. His reign of nearly eight years is a record that will surely never be broken. The greatest wrestler of the 1960s and 1970s, the hero to millions, the most dominate force ever to set foot in Madison Square Garden. "Ecstacy of Gold" brings out Mario Mancini to a huge ovation from the crowd, joined by his son, Luigi. Mario and Pedro hug. Mancini thanks the fans for their love. He is honored to be in the Garden again and to see how great WCWF has become. A large trophy is unveiled and presented to Mancini from WCWF. Mancini accepts graciously. He asks Robinson to come forward and shake his hand, as one champion to another. Mancini puts over The Ram the wrestler of the 80s, and thanks Randy for doing what he, Mancini, could not do: defeat The Ayatollah.

"Overkill" by Motorhead brings out Mean Massimo who contronts his mentor. Massimo calls Mancini a washed up, worthless quitter. Mancini admits regrets - not the least of them not teaching Massimo to be a better wrestler and a better man. Heroes don't assault referees or sell their title belts.
Mancini: You got the physical gifts and the fortitude, but you don't have the character to ever be World Heavyweight Champion!
In response to those words, Mean Massimo grabs the trophy and smashes Mario Mancini over the head with it! Pandemonium ensues as Massimo is restrained by various officials, staff, and Randy Robinson before security can drag him away. The crowd boos Massimo mercilessly.

The Supernauts (Dreadnaut and Huguenaut) defeated Big Hoss McGraw and Wally Richter when Dreadnaut pinned Richter with the Broadside in 0:18:09.
Rating: -** 3/4
(The Supernauts retained the WCWF Tag Team Titles.)

Jake Blackheart pinned Rick Samson after the Blackheart Suplex in 0:15:08.
Rating: *** 3/4

Main Event (MTV & MSG Network)

Pre-match the announcers take note of some celebrities in attendance including a large black man with a mohawk and gold chains in the front row. He's an actor in some TV show. Probably not important.

Randy Robinson and John Murdoch defeated General Winter and The Ayatollah when Robinson defeated Ayatollah by disqualification in 0:10:05.
Rating: *
[Bulk Logan interfered against Randy Robinson.]

The score remains unsettled. The Bulkster attacked his Wrestlemania opponent, causing the match to be throw out and leading to a 3-on-2 brawl. Winter send Murdoch out of the ring with a big lariat and followed. The aforementioned mohawked individual in front row got into a war of words with General Winter who threw a punch which was blocked and a return punch thrown! The man climbed over the railing and brawled with Winter, showing some amateur boxing skills. Meanwhile, the world champion made a comeback despite the 2-on-1 odds in the ring. Seeing the odds were no longer in their favor, the heels beat a retreat. The show ended with Robinson, Murdoch, and the individual identified as B. A. Brakkas standing tall in the ring. Is "Mr. B" coming to Wrestlemania? Tune in on WCW Saturday Night to find out!
