John Elliott and Robbie Atkinson welcome viewers to Wrestlemania and WCWF's first foray into PPV. We get shots of the sold-out MSG crowd, including celebrities Muhammad Ali, Cindy Lauper, Ozzy Osbourne, and Dee Snyder of Twisted Sister, as Angus Clark and Duncan Clark play a live instrumental version of "For Those About To Rock" by AC/DC. The announcers explain WCWF's AC-DC will be providing live entrance music tonight for most of the performers.

We go to interview Frank Gresham who explains that while WCWF has a longstanding policy that the World Heavyweight Title Match always goes on last, the New York Athletic Commission has ordered that the Blast-Blackheart match conclude the card due to the possibility of bloodshed creating health and safety concerns in the ring. "Million Dollar" Stan Trump walks up accompanied by Trump International: Eddie Bearden (who doesn't look happy to be there), "The Tongan Terror" Isileli Kaelo, Kamu, and Taku. Trump explains he used "persuasion" to get the visa issues cleared up so Samoan Storm can take on The Southern Maulers tonight, and any other business that needs taken care of. Everyone is saying tonight is the big night where Stan Trump finally becomes a champion!

FOR THE VACANT WCWF TV TITLE (SPECIAL ENFORCER: THE JOLLY GREEN GIANT): SOL SALAMANCA vs "MILLION DOLLAR" STAN TRUMP

Trump comes to the ring with Isileli Kaelo, the latter carrying the metal briefcase full of money used several weeks ago in Trump's attempt to buy the TV Title from Mean Massimo. Million Dollar Stan unsuccessfully tries to bribe Salamanca to lay and throw the match. The referee orders Kaelo to leave so Trump tries to bribe the ref, who seems to consider it a moment, then thinks better of it. Finally he tries to bribe The Jolly Green Giant who laughs at Trump and tells Kaelo to leave with the briefcase. The match finally gets underway.

Salmanca uses his quickness to run wild at first. Eddie Bearden makes a half-hearted attempt to interfere, but is intercepted and sent off by The Jolly Green Giant. The referee is distracted by the confrontation which allows Trump to sneak in a low blow and start controlling the match. Kaelo comes back with the metal briefcase and takes a swing at Jolly with it, but misses. The Giant grabs the briefcase and smashes it over The Tongan Terror's head, putting a giant dent into the briefcase, dropping Kaleo out cold, and sending money flying eveywhere. Meanwhile, Salamanca is trying to make a comeback and Trump is struggling, especially as he watches his plans unraveling at ringside. The Million Dollar Knee misses and now Salamanca is back in control. Several flashy moves later he his his finisher. Samoan Storm tries to run in, but The Jolly Green Giant fights holds them off for the pinfall.

After the match, The Southern Maulers come out and brawl with Samoan Storm to the back. EMTs come stretcher off Isileli Kaelo. Commissioner Pedro Gonzalez enters the ring with the championship and Stan Trump tries to protest, but is told to get lost. Jolly pulls Trump out of the ring and sends him on his way. Gonzalez personally puts the WCWF TV Title around Sol Salamanca's waist. The two hug afterwards, tears of joy streaming down Salmanca's face. The Jolly Green Giant hoists Salamanca up on his shoulder for a victory lap around the ring.

The announcers hold up some of the money from the busted briefcase. It turns out most of the cash was movie prop money printed with Donald Trump's face. The announcers have a laugh at the idea that Donald Trump could ever be elected president.

Frank Gresham catches Eddie Bearden in the back for a word. Bearden says his business with Stan Trump is finished.

Hale and Stryker are former tag team partners, but split up several months ago. Neither has really shined in singles competition. After Hale scores the victory, Jake Stryker walks out on his son.

Stan Trump did not accompany Southern Storm to the ring and they looked to be a disadvantage without a manager.

"THE LIVING LEGEND" MARIO MANCINI vs MEAN MASSIMO

This was a tough fight. Mancini looked a little rusty at first, but got into a grove after a few minutes. He tried to work a methodical, technical style while Massimo tried to brawl. The Living Legend eventually got his former protege locked into his signature bearhug, the Italian Crush. For a moment, victory seemed to be at hand for Mario, but Mancini broke the hold with a headbutt and a series of vicious earringers. Massimo proceded to pummel the dazed Mancini into the mat then stomp him down further. The Pasta Buster set up the Mean Machine (Vader Bomb) for the win.

Mean Massimo celebrated his victory, to the displeasure of the crowd. Mario Mancini slowly pulled himself to his feet and shook his head in disappointment. Then the former teacher approached his former student. Words were exchanged. Mario extended his hand. Mean considered it for a moment then slowly shook hands. Mancini raised Massimo's hand, acknowledging he had met his better in the ring.

Frank Gresham interviews Mario Mancini in the back. Mancini says Mean Massimo was once like another son to him. Mario is sad those days are gone, never to return. But the two of them met in the ring and fought as men, as equals. Now Mancini can respect Massimo again. He doesn't agree with how his former protege does things, but he recognizes his talent. Someday when Mean Massimo becomes WCWF World Heavyweight Champion, Mario Mancini promises to be the one to put the champion around his waist.

WCWF WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES MATCH: THE SUPERNAUTS (c) vs OLD SCHOOL

Raw power dominated at first, but the cunning of the heels soon took over. Huguenaut got worked over pretty badly in the corner several times. Finally the hot tag was made to Dreadnaut who cleaned house, but got cradled on a suplex attempt, with a handful of tights for good measure.

WCWF WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH: RANDY "THE RAM" ROBINSON (c) vs BULK LOGAN

Logan came out first, looking smug. Robinson was high-fiving fans on the way to the ring. As soon as the bell rang, Logan started stalling. When they finally got locked up, Logan promptly went low. It set the tone for the rest of the match, and Robinson seemed thrown off by Logan's mind games. When the match spilled out to the floor and the referee tried to get both men back in the ring, Logan hit the Axe Bomber on Robinson is such a way as to knock the champ into the ref. With the official temporarily incapacitated, The Bulkster grabbed the championship belt and struck The Ram upside the head with it when he tried to get up. Logan rolled Robinson back into the ring then helped the ref up. Back in the ring, a big boot and the Big Leg Drop gave us a new world champion.

Rather that put the champion around his waist or even over his shoulder, Logan played it like an air guitar as he headed to the back to the strains of "Voodoo Chile."

LOSER-LEAVES-WCWF STREET FIGHT FOR THE WCWF UNITED STATES TITLE MATCH: JAMMIN' JIMMY BLAST vs JAKE BLACKHEART

This match delivered the violence it promised. Blast was left bloody from a chairshot to the head while Blackheart did so after being sent headfirst into the ringpost. The fought in and out of the ring. The end came with a table set up near on corner of the ring. Blackheart tried to superplex Blast through the table, but Jimmy blocked the attempt and gave Jake a piledriver off the top and through the table.
