00:00The London Arena, alive and well for this one.
00:05Currently in the ring, from Brooklyn, New York, weighing 248 pounds, the Brooklyn Brother!
00:16And his opponent, from Kensington, New York, weighing 235 pounds, Paul Rumba!
00:30In what has all the markings of a great contest, Paul Rumba against the Brooklyn Brawler.
00:37And I would venture to say that Brooklyn, New York, and London, England, are two entirely different worlds.
00:48For the Brawler, he seems really out of place here in a way.
00:51I would think so, the Brawler taking advantage of Paul Rumba not watching his back there.
00:56He is going right after Roma, a great leapfrogged by the great athlete.
01:02Oh no, the Brooklyn Brawler, with a great clothesline, a cover.
01:05He almost got a quick three count, but did not, as Roma escaped.
01:10And this match was almost over before it began.
01:13If we get a chance here, we'll watch Roma very, very carefully,
01:16because he's got one of the fastest, highest, and most devastating dropkicks in the whole of the World Wrestling Federation.
01:23He has great leaping ability.
01:26The Brawler trying to send Roma in. Roma hooked the rubs to the Brawler.
01:32The balls right on the head.
01:34What do you want with me?
01:35And now, into the rubs, missing a clothesline, right hand, again, the clinched fist, so warning,
01:44in goes the Brawler one more time.
01:46Roma, over the top of the Brawler.
01:49Oh yeah!
01:52Oh wow!
01:53Aha, tremendous!
01:55Paul Roma is so talented,
01:57and it is more than apparent that when he can get it going as far as the quick moves,
02:05that the Brawler is no match for.
02:07However,
02:08Alfred, I know you would agree,
02:09if the Brawler gets into that brawling style,
02:11it could be trouble for Roma.
02:12It can, indeed.
02:13And the Brawler's a very, very tough, rugged individual.
02:17He's going to take more than one.
02:18Let's go, Rogan.
02:19He's got him tonight.
02:20Get him back in there.
02:21He's on the outside.
02:22He's been taking his time.
02:23He's been well tutored, of course, by the weasel.
02:26I shouldn't say that.
02:26I should say,
02:27Bobby the Brain Heenan.
02:28And in the beginning,
02:30Heenan doesn't guide him any longer,
02:32but the influence is still noted there.
02:34Still there.
02:37The old saying is,
02:38one thing you can't take away from someone is an education.
02:41It's certainly working with the brain.
02:44Bobby Heenan was an education for the Brawler.
02:46A little change of tactics there.
02:48Yeah, he wanted to go right at him.
02:50A little push, a shove back.
02:52Oh, a right-hand balance mark.
02:53Now they're going to slug it out,
02:55and this is the Brawler's style right here.
02:57But Roma coming out ahead.
03:02To the side headlock.
03:04Right on the Brooklyn Brawler.
03:08Right to the post.
03:11And to a side headlock once again.
03:14So Roma really squeezing now.
03:16On the Brooklyn Brawler.
03:22A certain disadvantage.
03:25Roma just holding him up.
03:28Tony, what a magnificent night it's going to be tomorrow as well.
03:31At the National Exhibition Center up there in Birmingham.
03:33That event will start at 8 o'clock.
03:35And we want to remind our fans in Birmingham.
03:38The stars of the WWF.
03:39We talked about the Rockers.
03:41And the Rougeaus.
03:43Both in single competition.
03:44That's right.
03:44It will be two single matches.
03:47The Rockers.
03:48Shawn Michaels and Marty Gennetti.
03:50Pitted in single matches against the Rougeaus.
03:53Be interesting to see those two matches.
03:55It really will.
03:56The Rougeaus probably hoping for a measure of revenge there.
03:59But one of the matches there that really excites my imagination.
04:05Is the Honky Tonk Man meeting that master of execution.
04:09The Hitman.
04:10Brett Hart.
04:10Speaking of a Hitman.
04:11That was a hit right on the head of the Brawler.
04:14Nicely done.
04:15Once again in a top turnbuckle.
04:16And the Brawler will not go down apparently.
04:20Here he goes again to the third quarter.
04:21We have another match we're going to talk about.
04:23As we see the Brawler finally go down.
04:25A good one by Roma.
04:28A kick out.
04:29And the Brawler tries to roll.
04:30And does who out of the ring.
04:32The main event in Birmingham tomorrow night.
04:34Will be Hulk Hogan teaming up with the king of the WWF.
04:38Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
04:40Miss Elizabeth in their corner.
04:41In that tag team event.
04:42Against Dino Bravo.
04:43The Macho Man Randy Savage.
04:44With Sensational Sherry.
04:46As the chase goes on here at the ring in London.
04:50A pick up and a back breaker by the Brooklyn Brawler.
04:53We get a two count.
04:54That is all.
04:56So that event is tomorrow night at the NEC.
05:00The National Exhibition Center in Birmingham.
05:04And that certainly is going to be a red letter day.
05:08In their calendar up in Birmingham.
05:10When the superstars of the World Wrestling Federation visit there.
05:13So I'm sure it's something everybody will want to see.
05:17Fighting right on the forehead.
05:20Well this is the Brawler style.
05:22He's brawling now.
05:23This is just street fighting.
05:25And quite honestly against Roma.
05:27It seems to be quite effective.
05:29I'm surprised at Roma.
05:30Allowing close physical contact like this.
05:32With the Brawler.
05:33He should stay away.
05:35And use hit and run maneuvers.
05:36The Brawler.
05:38Oh no.
05:39Is going to go up top for goodness sakes.
05:43That is not his domain.
05:45Roma quick to get up.
05:47And throw him down.
05:49Right hand to the head.
05:56Now sending the Brawler to the rope.
06:00Great clothesline.
06:02Powerful damaging clothesline.
06:04By Paul Roma there.
06:06And now the Brawler is backing off.
06:07And you don't often see that.
06:09No you're right Alfred.
06:10You don't see that at all.
06:11Right hand to the head.
06:14Sending the Brawler now.
06:16To the far side.
06:18I thought he was going to do a power slam there.
06:19But he picks him up nicely.
06:21Look at this.
06:22I think he's going for a running power slam.
06:24Possibly so.
06:25You're right.
06:25And a running power slam.
06:29Oh no.
06:29The Brawler's out.
06:30And I thought that was it.
06:31I thought he had him all sewn up there.
06:33But the Brawler.
06:34A little more reserves there.
06:36He dug down deep.
06:37Pulled those reserves out.
06:38And managed to avoid that one, two, three.
06:40Roma doing more or less what he wants to now.
06:43A long delayed suplex there.
06:46And he's perfectly executed.
06:50Now we see that Roma is going up top.
06:53The warning for the referee.
06:55This is his domain in many ways.
06:57He comes up.
06:59The Brawler, Rosie Lover.
07:01He got it.
07:02He got it.
07:03Here is your winner, the Brooklyn Brawler.
07:09A high risk maneuver that time, Lord Alfred Hayes, from Paul Roma, which did not pay off.
07:17No, it went against him.
07:18And you would have to consider this an upset victory here tonight in England.
07:23And the Brawler, this is his first appearance ever in Europe.
07:26Let's have a look at this again.
07:27Here we see Paul Roma.
07:29And as you said before, that is his domain up there.
07:32The referee admonished him slightly.
07:34Paul Roma going for that again.
07:36Well, actually, what we're looking at is a reverse of that.
07:40Well, something seems to have gone wrong with our...
