00:01Well, what a proclamation.
00:03Yeah, maybe before it gets going here,
00:05we got a contestant coming down.
00:07Here comes Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
00:09He is in the first round.
00:12The opposition for him in the tournament.
00:14Of course, the Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase.
00:17And what I think we need to explain here, Gorilla,
00:19is only the winners advance forward.
00:22Absolutely, you must win.
00:24If you're disqualified, you do not advance forward.
00:27If the match turns out to be a draw,
00:29both contestants don't advance.
00:32If it's a double disqualification,
00:35both contestants won't advance.
00:37Well, I think also, Jess, of great importance
00:39is the fact that in the first round,
00:41there are 15-minute time limits.
00:44Second round, they progress to 20-minute time limits.
00:47And the third round, it progresses to 30-minute time limits.
00:51And the final one is no time limit.
00:53There will be a champion.
00:55The champion.
00:55The champion.
00:57Being introduced.
00:59In Cold Beach, Florida.
01:01Playing 260 pounds.
01:03Oh!
01:04That's Andre with him, Jess!
01:06Did I see Andre behind?
01:07Yes!
01:08Ted DiBiase!
01:09Where's the big guy going?
01:11Well, obviously, he's coming down with Virgil,
01:14the second Ted DiBiase, for this important first-round bout.
01:18Well, I didn't know that that was going to be allowed in this.
01:21Well, Andre doesn't have to face Hogan until the first match of the second round,
01:25so you know what would be unique that just came to mind to me, Guerrilla?
01:31Let's say if DiBiase advances here, and let's say Andre beats Hogan,
01:37that means that DiBiase and Andre would face each other, correct?
01:43Not necessarily.
01:44If DiBiase is victorious here, he has to meet the winner of the Morocco Bravo match.
01:49Right, but let's just say that DiBiase wins twice.
01:52If he gets beyond that, right.
01:52It could end up Andre and DiBiase.
01:54What will happen?
01:55Oh!
01:57Money will talk, I think, Jess.
01:59You think Andre would step aside?
02:00I'm pretty sure he would.
02:02Or would DiBiase step aside and let Andre go forward, feeling that he's the unbeatable man?
02:09Well, it's possible, but he tried that before, and he knows that he can't get the belt without beating the
02:15champion, Jess.
02:15Well, here we go, the first round of the tournament.
02:19What you got here, Guerrilla?
02:21You got the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase, a classic wrestler, well-schooled, and then you got a brawler.
02:29Hacksaw Jim Duggan. This guy don't know a hold from nothing.
02:32DiBiase with a clean break, surprising everybody, including Hacksaw.
02:36As we look over the shoulder on Virgil and the big guy, Andre the Giant.
02:42Who definitely will beat the Hulkster.
02:46First match of the second round.
02:49It'll happen.
02:49Nice block, a double block, and a right hand.
02:54And you can hear the yo's here.
02:56That's exactly what I said.
02:58Hacksaw Jim Duggan will try to turn it into a brawl.
03:00He'll try to take it out and be in a wrestling match.
03:02And it looks like that's what's happening.
03:04Well, it certainly is as a exchange left and right stuck underneath.
03:07Look out.
03:08Atomic drop coming up.
03:10Oh, he nailed him with it.
03:11Over the top rope.
03:13And out of there.
03:14I'm surprised Andre didn't make an attempt to catch it.
03:21Well, Hacksaw Jim Duggan's giving the Million Dollar Man everything he wants so far.
03:25Look at this capacity crowd on hand as all have been sellouts for WrestleMania's 1, 2, 3 and, of course,
03:324, no exception.
03:33Oh, definitely.
03:35How many thousands wanted to get into this building today and just were turned away is unbelievable.
03:41Tell me, Gorilla, you had four comp tickets.
03:43What'd you get for them when you scalped them?
03:45Let's not get into that.
03:46Well, I noticed you had a lot of money at the tables last night.
03:50Oh, what a chop by DiBiase.
03:52Just stopped Duggan right in his tracks.
03:55Well, Ted DiBiase, the Million Dollar Man, is by far the more accomplished wrestler.
03:59Duck underneath.
04:01Look out.
04:01Close right, Sidney.
04:02He nailed him with it.
04:07Sometimes, the Hacksaw wastes a little time in there, Jess.
04:10Well, you know, the Hacksaw's not known.
04:12Right now.
04:13He's not known for his brains.
04:15You know, the guy ain't a Rhodes Scholar.
04:19Went with a count.
04:20Andre came over, said something to the referee.
04:23Andre's trying to get the referee off DiBiase.
04:26Look out.
04:27Oh, ran right into that boot right at the last split second.
04:30Brought up by the Million Dollar Man.
04:32I'm really surprised that had that big of effect on Duggan.
04:36He hit him in the head.
04:37I think caught him right on the jaw.
04:39Yeah.
04:41Now, going to work in the sternum area and back upstairs once again.
04:46I'll tell you, whoever walks out of here, Jess, with the gold,
04:49will rightly deserve it because they will be pushed farther than anyone
04:53has ever been pushed before in order to get to the title.
04:56Oh, definitely, Gorilla.
04:59Whoever wins this will earn the championship, regardless of who that is.
05:04It will be extended to the fullest.
05:06Look at this.
05:07From the second turnbuckle.
05:08On the inside.
05:09Elbow right between the eyes.
05:11Oh, and another shot right to the kisser.
05:15DiBiase looking for the pin here.
05:17One, two, no.
05:18Duggan comes out the back door.
05:21Once again, Andre giving the referee status.
05:26Couple of roundhouse by Hacksaw.
05:29And a rake in the face.
05:31Stop that in a hurry.
05:34Look out.
05:35Irish whip coming up.
05:37Hacksaw in for the ride.
05:39Sunset Cliff.
05:40Got him down.
05:41Look out now.
05:42I don't believe it.
05:44Hacksaw Jim Duncan was capable of doing a move like that.
05:47Well, you can believe it now, Jess.
05:48Only in WrestleMania, can I be surprised.
05:51Look out in once again.
05:52Went downstairs right into the lower abdomen.
05:55That may be the weakest part of Hacksaw.
05:59Jim Duggan, the bread basket.
06:02DiBiase sort of measured it now, Jess.
06:04Don't you think it'd be a disgrace if Duggan won the title?
06:07No.
06:08Really?
06:08Why would it be a disgrace?
06:11Both men jockeying here.
06:13And Duggan ends up with a suplex.
06:17Virgil screaming at the Million Dollar Man.
06:21Second turn buckle on the inside once again.
06:24He got caught in midair.
06:25He caught it.
06:31Duggan on the warpath.
06:34He's not waiting.
06:37He's turned into a pure six brawl.
06:39Look out.
06:41Close line city.
06:45Maybe we'll see that three-point stance here, Jess, very shortly.
06:48Well, if DiBiase gets hit with it, he'll be out of the competition.
06:53Here it comes now.
06:54He's setting up for it.
06:55He's giving the signal for it.
06:57He's down there.
06:59Oh, look at that.
07:00Andre grabbed the leg and dug it.
07:04I believe Andre nailed him as well.
07:06Are you sure did Duggan turn around and hit Andre?
07:10Andre knocked him silly.
07:12Here's your winner.
07:14The Million Dollar Man moves one step lower to the championship of the world.
07:18D.B.Use.
07:19Andre the Giant, extremely helpful to the Million Dollar Man there.
07:25What a part he played.
07:27Scooping the leg.
07:28And Duggan now with the two-by-four that they've all gone.
07:32Too little, too late for Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
07:34He's out of it.
07:35Ted DiBiase advances forward in his quest for the world championship.
07:40Let's go back and take a look at what Andre the Giant did in order to eliminate or help to
07:46eliminate the Hacksaw.
07:48Look at this now, Jess.
07:49Right there.
07:50How could you deny that?
07:51I'm not going to deny it, but it was a brilliant move.
07:53The referee's back was turned the other way.
07:55He didn't see a thing.
07:56Oh, look at this.
07:56Watch the shot Andre gives him.
07:58Oh, big roundhouse right.
08:00And at the same time, the Million Dollar Man caught him with a knee to the kidneys from behind, covered
08:04him, and got the three count.
08:05That's all it took.
08:07Right now, let's go to mean Gene Okerlund as he is with a man who could end up with some
08:12gold, Brutus DeBarber Beefcake.
08:15All right, Brutus.
08:16All right, Brutus.
