00:00This contest is sketchable for one fall, introducing in the ring, from Robinsdale, Minnesota, weighing 251 pounds, Ravishing Rick Rude!
00:20And his opponent, from Hawaii, winning 230 of the pound, Ricky the Dragon, King Boat!
00:38Well, I'll tell you what, this is going to be a great, great matchup, because you've got two men here, who are in phenomenal physical condition.
00:50Ravishing Rick Rude, of course, the winner of the Jesse the Body Award, that speaks for itself.
00:56And you've got Ricky the Dragon, Steamboat, who's always in phenomenal shape.
01:00Indeed, it's going to be a test of stamina, a test of wills, and all-around athletic skills.
01:06The Dragon could very well be breathing fire here tonight, in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
01:19The Dragon preparing for his matchup with Ravishing Rick Rude.
01:23I wonder what would mean more for Ravishing Rick Rude, winning the Jesse the Body Award, or a victory over the Dragon?
01:30Well, I think they're both, in their own way, just as big for Ravishing Rick Rude.
01:34I mean, being the first winner of the Jesse the Body Award is phenomenal.
01:38It is.
01:39I mean, you'd love to win it, but then again, looking at your body, we can tell why you wouldn't.
01:44But then again, wrestling is the bottom line.
01:47Wrestling and being a wrestler, which is what Ravishing Rick Rude is first and foremost.
01:52So I'd have to say, beating the Dragon will definitely be a feather in Rude's cap, if he can do it.
01:57Ricky the Dragon, Steamboat, a wrestler who relies on tremendous agility and great speed, notwithstanding his extraordinary stamina.
02:06And I don't believe he's impressed at all with the physique of Rick Rude.
02:09Rude right away with a fisticuffs.
02:11Forearm, now, another forearm by Rick Rude.
02:14I'll bet those forearms are impressing him, though.
02:17Indeed, that's not a forearm.
02:18I've been out and out to a clenched fist, I believe.
02:21The Dragon coming off the rope with another chop and another one.
02:26Ricky the Dragon, Steamboat, trying to establish himself with a chop that rope.
02:29Another one to the top of the head.
02:31Oh, my.
02:32I thought we were going to see a scientific wrestling match.
02:34It certainly isn't starting out that way.
02:36Over the top rope.
02:37No, wait a minute.
02:38The Dragon comes right back in.
02:41Over he goes.
02:43Whoa!
02:44And Rude's back caught that green apron and caught it hard.
02:50Ah, yes!
02:51Take a look at that, Ravishing Rick Rude.
02:53Well, you can see the Dragon.
02:55He's probably jealous he didn't win the Jesse Debati Awards.
02:58As a matter of fact, he wasn't even nominated.
03:00Oh, not if he did all the nominations, he wasn't.
03:04That's true.
03:05All right, a little complaint here.
03:07The part of Ravishing Rick Rude, the Dragon obviously did not hook the fight whatsoever.
03:12Now, how do you know that?
03:14You did not see an instant replay.
03:17No, Troy did not.
03:18There's no way for as quickly as Rude went over that top rope.
03:22It's very logical that Steamboat may have had a little bit of tights in there.
03:25Look at this.
03:26Are you kidding me?
03:27Rude is trying to impress Ricky Steamboat with his physique again.
03:31Look at that build on Rude.
03:33Not bad.
03:34Not bad at all.
03:36His arms look bigger than I've ever seen them.
03:39Rick Rude having a little conversation with some of the fans here in Canada.
03:47Now, what are you going to lock up?
03:50Well, see, this is all psychological here.
03:53If Rude can get Steamboat to play his game, his style of match, it's to his advantage.
03:58It may not be a Rude style.
04:00It could very well be that the Dragon would reign supreme in this particular contest.
04:04Look at this.
04:05That we're going to find out here real quick.
04:09The Dragon could even be stronger than Rick Rude.
04:12I'm not certain.
04:13I don't think so.
04:14Uh-oh.
04:15The Dragon's knees are shaking in front of him.
04:18The Dragon's going down, I believe, almost on one knee.
04:21Look at the leverage that Rude has.
04:23That shows you right there that Rude's muscles aren't cosmetic.
04:26That's for sure.
04:27Right away.
04:3020,000 fans here jam-packing this arena.
04:34Rooting for the Dragon.
04:35And here he comes right back up.
04:37Well, he's pushing off the top of his head, you can see.
04:40He's smart.
04:41That's smart.
04:42That's smart, but it shows that Rude's the stronger man.
04:44Oh!
04:45Look at that!
04:47What a beautiful takedown by the Dragon.
04:49There's been a precedent set here now.
04:51Obviously, Rude is the stronger man,
04:53so Steamboat's going to have to rely now on quickness
04:56and technique in which to secure a victory.
04:59He's not going to out-muscle Rude.
05:01Rude showed that right there.
05:02He's the stronger man.
05:03Oh, wait a minute.
05:04Maybe right now he's the stronger man.
05:05As the match progresses,
05:06I wonder how much of that strength Rick Rude possesses
05:09will be sapped from his body.
05:10Look at that!
05:11Oh!
05:12That'll take it out on you.
05:13Oh, definitely.
05:14Steamboat's wrestling a smart match here.
05:17If he can take away one of Rude's arms,
05:20it's going to definitely work to his advantage.
05:22Ooh!
05:23Ah!
05:24Dragon really yanking on the left arm of ravishing Rick Rude.
05:27Snapping it down.
05:28That has to really put a lot of pressure on the elbow
05:30and the shoulder joint.
05:32Ooh!
05:33The Dragon!
05:34He means choices here tonight!
05:39And you saw Rick Rude a moment ago
05:41reaching for the rope.
05:43Well, that's a smart move.
05:44You use everything available to you.
05:46If you can get to the ropes and cause a break in the hold,
05:50you do it.
05:51Off the rope.
05:52Whoop!
05:53Rude messing with a close line.
05:54Between the legs.
05:55On drag.
05:56Head down.
05:57Nicely done.
06:00Right now, I'll give you credit.
06:02The Dragon Steamboat is winning the match.
06:05But this is professional wrestling.
06:07It's not on any points.
06:09You don't get two points for a takedown.
06:11You don't get one point for an escape with two wins at the end.
06:15Rude!
06:16Rude!
06:17Rude!
06:18Rude!
06:19Rude!
06:20Rude!
06:21Rude!
06:22Rude!
06:23Rude!
06:24Rude!
06:25That looks like a fan out there.
06:26He's got one of them custom Jimmy Hart megaphones.
06:27I'll chop the mouth at us off, huh?
06:28Oh my.
06:30Look at this.
06:31The dragon is really pouring it on!
06:33Rick Rude!
06:35Trying to find some sort of counter.
06:36If you're Rick Rude right now, I think you're, you're really in some trouble.
06:39I could tell him how to get out of this, McMahon.
06:42Works every time.
06:43A quick thumb to the eye.
06:44Oh, come on.
06:45You spin the man around with the reference and see it, and you thumb him.
06:48Come on, we have youngsters watching this program.
06:51Thumb in the ISD.
06:53The Dragon continuing to keep Rick Rude away from reaching for the rope.
06:58The Dragon keeping, ravishing Rick Rude right out in the middle of the ring.
07:02Smart.
07:03Which is what he needs and wants to do.
07:05Forearm.
07:06And another one going to the side of the jaw there.
07:08Rick Rude resorting to what he had a little success with earlier on.
07:12More fists to cut, but what a shot by the Dragon.
07:14And another one.
07:16Right on the top of the head now.
07:18The Dragon trying to set up ravishing Rick Rude.
07:19Nice reversal by ravishing Rick Rude.
07:22Another reversal.
07:23Oh, what a chop.
07:25Those chops are excellent moves, but if you look at them close, they're very, very close to the throat.
07:34Which makes them illegal if they hit the throat.
07:38Well, I haven't seen it hit the throat yet.
07:39And referee Hefner needs to take a close look at where those chops are landing on Rick Rude.
07:45Rick Rude better pay attention to the count.
07:49Apparently the pain is so intense on the left arm of Rick Rude if he had his shoulders were done on the mat a moment ago.
07:56Ravishing Rick Rude having some degree of difficulty here in this matchup with the Dragon, Ricky Steamboat.
08:01Well, I knew it would be a great matchup.
08:03You've got Ricky the Dragon, former Intercontinental Champion.
08:06I mean, the guy's credentials speak for themselves.
08:09He's a winner.
08:10The driver down on the arm.
08:12My.
08:12Interesting, and I believe thus far the Dragon has proven himself to be the aggressor in this match.
08:21And I don't know that that's the way that we normally would have expected this match thus far.
08:26Well, it's hard to tell.
08:27You know, in the world of wrestling, much like the old cliche of football, on any given day, any given wrestler can beat another given wrestler.
08:35Did you see that?
08:36Rude with the point of his boot right into the abdominal area.
08:40Now he's following through and again walks just a cut.
08:42Well, that works just about as good as the thumb to the eye, doesn't it?
08:49Rude moving in.
08:52Setting up the Dragon now.
08:53Off the road.
08:54Oh!
08:54That time he nails him with the elbow.
09:01Steamboat back up, but maybe not for long.
09:03Come on, ref, get in there.
09:05All Rude knows is punching.
09:08Or at least that's all he's demonstrated here thus far.
09:10Well, maybe that was Rude's game plan.
09:12It's strictly a rough house match.
09:14Maybe he does not want to wrestle Steamboat.
09:17Maybe Rude feels that by roughing the match up, it's to his advantage to gain the victory.
09:23Steamboat with a drop, and he has nothing behind it.
09:26Breaking the face by Rick Rude.
09:31Hammering away on the Dragon Ricky Steamboat.
09:34Ravishing Rick Rude.
09:38Rude trying to set up the Dragon.
09:40Has him a little bit woozy.
09:41Misses with a right hand.
09:43Dragon off again and under.
09:46Hey!
09:46Takedown once again.
09:47Just when Rude has something going, the Dragon Ricky Steamboat knocks his chocks right out from under him.
09:55Yeah, and he did it with wrestling.
09:57Beautiful arm dragging back into the arm bar, and he's back on that left arm again.
10:00Don't be giving us that hard on him or something.
10:04Indeed he is.
10:05Look at this maneuver.
10:07Oh, my.
10:08Ramming the knee into the shoulder area.
10:11Oof.
10:11Again and again and again and again.
10:14I don't think that the Ravishing Rick Rude had things around the other way that he wouldn't be pouring it on as well.
10:19He certainly would and then some.
10:21Oh, certainly.
10:21You go out to win.
10:23Hey, Steamboat's no Mr. Nice Guy in there.
10:26He's grinding that knee right into the shoulder socket.
10:29The Dragon Ricky Steamboat continuing to assert his authority over Ravishing Rick Rude at the moment.
10:42Rude had better do something pretty quick, or I think his stamina is going to be sapped a bit.
10:49Rick Rude with a reversal.
10:51Nicely done.
10:52That time the elbow right on the butt with a draw, maybe a little higher, into the eye.
10:58Elbow right in the eye.
11:04And you notice Rude's left arm is hurt because he could not pose that hand.
11:09He could not bring the left arm.
11:10There he finally got it back up.
11:13But not real well.
11:14Closing.
11:15Oh, Jim, look at this fight on the side of the head.
11:20Ravishing Rick Rude now in control of things.
11:23Just like that, this seesaw battle goes one way and then another.
11:26My goodness, and look at this.
11:35The Dragon hammering away.
11:37What a seesaw matchup.
11:41Well, it started off a wrestling match, and now it's turning into a fight.
11:46Reversal again.
11:47Over his man.
11:48The Dragon right back.
11:49Over Rick Rude again.
11:50Look at this.
11:50Oh, my goodness.
11:54That was a clever maneuver on the part of Ravishing Rick Rude.
11:57That's right.
11:57He saw a break.
11:59He saw a steamboat go into the ropes a bit out of control.
12:04And when he came off of those ropes, Rude caught him with the knee.
12:06Oh, no.
12:07Wait a minute.
12:08Rick Rude is outside with Ricky's steamboat.
12:10Rude now with the Dragon.
12:12Oh, no.
12:13It's back right into the side of the ring.
12:16Countdowned by a body slam outside on a concrete floor.
12:20And you know the great thing about it?
12:22Still slipped back into the ring well before the 10 count.
12:25It could be over for the Dragon as the referee just now picked up the count.
12:35We are live from Canada in the Cup Coliseum.
12:40What a match up here to sort out things on the World Wrestling Federation's Royal Rumble.
12:46Another forearm.
12:48And the Dragon looks like he's going to come in the ring the hard way.
12:50Yes, he is up.
12:52Suplex.
12:53Now Rude's rusted up.
12:54Now he's going back to some classic Rude.
12:57Whoa.
12:59Kick up by the Dragon.
13:01Look at this.
13:03Form of the...
13:04of a maneuver here.
13:09That's Camel clutch.
13:10And look at the pressure Rude's putting on.
13:12Look at the veins popping out on Rude's arms.
13:17Submission hold here applied.
13:20Steamboat has bobbing up and down.
13:21He might be trying to quit, but the refs can't hear him.
13:24I guess not.
13:25Look, the fingers...
13:26Oh, no.
13:28Look at Rude.
13:29He's got his fingers all over the Dragon.
13:31Now slip them underneath the nose.
13:32A minute ago, he had his fingers and his hands over the mouth and over the nose, choking off the air to the Dragon.
13:38And that's the illegal guessing.
13:39You can see all that from back here.
13:41Well, it looks like it from here.
13:45You must have 20-20 hearing, McMahon.
13:48Again, the fans trying to give a little momentum.
13:52Boom!
13:53Boom!
13:54Go!
13:55Oh, Rude!
13:56And right in the middle of the action, he pulls him.
14:02Kind of reminds me of me.
14:04Yes, it reminds me of you as well.
14:07What arrogance.
14:08That's called confidence.
14:11No, that's arrogance.
14:12That's not confidence.
14:15A look of intensity on the face of the Dragon moments ago.
14:19As Rick Rude continues to rock back on the back and pull up on the head.
14:24The neck area is hard as he possibly can.
14:27And that's pretty hard.
14:28That's a chiropractic adjustment, the hard way.
14:38That could be it.
14:40That is it.
14:42Why is that bell ringing?
14:44Look at him.
14:44He's got his hands right over his mouth.
14:48His nose is free.
14:50His nose is free.
14:52That's legal.
14:52Yeah, he's going to take his thumbs and shove him up the nostrils, I'm sure.
14:58But, man, not even you, I don't think, would stick your fingers up somebody else's nostrils.
15:05Wait a minute, Dragon now.
15:07Trying to get out of this.
15:10Look!
15:11What a maneuver!
15:14Unbelievable!
15:16Yes, sir!
15:16Nice maneuver by the Dragon.
15:19How in the world he could escape from that?
15:22Dragon somehow mustered up the strength to stand up with Rick Rude on his back.
15:26And they're both down.
15:26They're both injured.
15:27Double count going on.
15:30The Dragon!
15:32Oh!
15:32Oh!
15:34Wow!
15:35And there's a classic mistake.
15:38Using aerial tactics, when your opponent isn't finished off enough, you'll get caught every time.
15:45Another sensational maneuver by Ravishing Rick Rude.
16:01And the cover.
16:02Rick Rude's a little out of position on occasion.
16:06Still can't get it.
16:06And now you're seeing smart wrestling by Rick Rude.
16:14Rude.
16:15Right back to that reverse chin lock.
16:18And that's legal.
16:19Look, McMahon.
16:20Yes, that is legal.
16:21He's not covering up.
16:22He's not choking or suffocating him.
16:24Not right now.
16:25He's not.
16:26No.
16:26Earlier on, he definitely was.
16:28Dragon trying to get himself up.
16:33Steamboat, you know, had horrible rhythm on that.
16:37Horrible rhythm.
16:38Oh, nice.
16:38Another.
16:40Rick Rude not expecting that for sure.
16:44With Dragon.
16:44Look at this.
16:46Now, if Rude would have held the hair, you'd have been complaining all night long.
16:59But because Steamboat does it, it's okay.
17:03Steamboat in control after the step.
17:04Man, what a chop.
17:06Wow, what a chop.
17:08And one thing about Rude, he don't like getting hit in the face.
17:11Two and oh, my, so close.
17:16Uh-oh.
17:17Rude with a kick to the abdominal area.
17:19Nice kick down by Ravishing Rick Rude.
17:21Nice head scissor by the Dragon.
17:25And the shoulders down.
17:26Watch yourself.
17:29Down for...
17:29Oh, how a pop.
17:30That.
17:31Whoa.
17:33Unbelievable.
17:34These two out leads.
17:35Run.
17:36Go.
17:37Whoa.
17:39Ran out quite missing.
17:41That'll do it.
17:42That'll do it.
17:43That's...
17:43Oh.
17:43Oh.
17:44Close, but no cigar yet.
17:48Legs quick.
17:50Dragon on top.
17:51Bob and that's got...
17:52How did he kick out of that?
17:55Who's going with small package?
18:00That's it, right there.
18:02No.
18:04Wow.
18:04I can't believe this.
18:05We've had seven or eight two-pounds in a row.
18:09The Dragon back to his feet.
18:10Oh, what a close line.
18:13That has to do it.
18:14But what a fight.
18:15Woo, he kicked out again.
18:22Rude.
18:22Driving suplex the Dragon.
18:24The Dragon clips on the brakes.
18:26And again.
18:28It's Rude for the ride.
18:29And that suplex was so hard, it stunned both men.
18:36They have to be exhausted.
18:38These two men have to be totally exhausted.
18:46The Dragon back to his feet before Rick will.
18:51The Dragon outside.
18:52He's going to the top.
18:53I don't know if this is smart or not.
18:55If he hits, it is.
18:57If he doesn't, he could be in trouble.
18:59The Dragon on the top rope.
19:01Oh, no.
19:02Did you see that?
19:04Dragon hit the referee coming off the rope.
19:07He didn't do it intentionally.
19:08No, he's trying to pin him.
19:10Rude yanked him right into it.
19:13Rick Rude.
19:15What is that?
19:16Oh, no.
19:17He's got him up.
19:18Where's that referee?
19:19Rick in the Dragon steamboat across the shoulder to Ravishing Rick Rude.
19:25Submission hold being applied.
19:29That's it.
19:30I can't believe it.
19:31The Dragon submitted.
19:33What a big win for Ravishing Rick Rude.
19:42I can't believe that the official would let Rick Rude get away with what he did.
19:48He yanked the referee right into the oncoming Dragon.
19:53You know, you might call that a rude awakening for Ricky Steamboat, don't you think?
19:59We'll get the official decision here.
20:07Ravishing Rick Rude thinks he has won the matchup.
20:10The winner of this contest, as a result of a disqualification, Ricky the Dragon Steamboat.
20:27Rick Rude loses the matchup because of disqualification.
20:32We'll be right back as we continue with more World Wrestling Federation action.
20:38Live from Hamilton, Ontario.
20:41Very well.
20:41Excellent.
20:52Its high school.
20:55Never mind.
20:56Absolutely.
20:56Right now.
21:04Guys, are seems to be good for Ric況.
