I love that the first half main event of that show is Bret vs Yoko in a cage match and then come back after the break and it's Brooklyn Brawler vs. Bastion Booger.  Classic 1993.

Forgive me if you didn’t need this explaining, but it used to be very common, especially pre-Internet, for the main event to go on before intermission, because they’d announce next months main event or biggest star competing, and the best time for the box office to sell tickets for next month is when thousands of fans are already at the building.

Here’s something unbelievably random. How many of you knew that in August 96 in Montreal, Owen Hart had a (worked) boxing match against local hero, long retired (well, on and off) Raymond Rougeau??? I don’t want to ruin it but it’s hilarious and a must watch if you loved Owens brand of cheesy cheating ;

Yeh I know all that.  It’s just a very 1993 contrast in quality from one match to the next.

March 1990 is one of the best months for chopping and changing, one offs, substitutions and “what the hell?” booking. The road to the Ultimate Challenge goes down like this…

Hulk Hogans last month as WWF Champion actually doesn’t start until TVs 6th/7th in Sacramento and San Fran for sell outs totalling 28,000 fans. Papered, but not by much. On both of these it’s Hogan and new goodie Big Boss Man vs Mr Perfect & The Genius as well as Boss Man performing his usual anti-Ted ref duties elsewhere. The same setup closes Montreal, Providence, Orlando, Tampa, New Haven and Richfield. Interspersed, 19th the return to Miami has Boss Man be the partner the Hulk promised to beat the Powers of Pain. In Milwaukee on 24th it’s actually Andre & Haku before Perfect & Genius again in Chicago, then 25th double with the Powers in LA and Hershey. That’s the end of the Powers. It’s all tags all month for the Hulkster with Mania VI being promoted hard on TV thus pointless trying to sell a title defence.

Ultimate Warrior is kept busy - he’s split between the Earthquake & Dino Bravo handicap match and a few of the tags with Jake Roberts against the Million Dollar Man & Akeem including a weak gate at Boston Garden on 17th. They start the month with Big Boss Man as their guest ref but that ends up being switched for Hillbilly Jim when Boss Man has to be deployed elsewhere (see below). 15th in Norfolk Jake doesn’t make it so Warrior beats the heels by himself. 19th at a half full MSG he puts the first clean pin on Mr Perfect televised anywhere. 22nd he’s with old foe Ravishing Rick Rude in Indianapolis and then in not the last Indiana/Michigan double shot you’ll read about this month, a short singles with Earthquake in Flint. 23/24 it’s the Jake tag again before he finishes a double on 25th LA then San Diego with Perfect again.

Colossal Connection vs Demolition is still headlining most of the month but they also do one defence with the Harts in front of 10,000 at the Meadowlands on the 11th (supported as they frequently are by Jake/DiBiase with Boss Man doing the guest ref gimmick) and the Rockers dark on 7th at the Cow Palace TVs and 19th In Miami on a Hogan card. If it feels a bit like “give some of the boys one last chance to work Andre” that’s because it is.

Roddy Piper vs Rick Rude, sometimes in the cage, starts as a main event but abruptly ends when Piper lands some TV filming commitments. The substitutions for Piper rotate and give us a few stories. As an aside March 2nd in West Palm when Piper tries to leave the cage after beating Ravishing, the Warlord slams the door on him. Doesn’t lead to anything. March 4th in Eugene OR it’s Ravishing that doesn’t make it so on last they have Piper getting his hands on the Brain! The semi is at least Barber vs Model. After TVs 6th-7th Piper disappears. Boss Man actually inherits Rick Rude (funny, the feud that would prematurely end later in the year) and they main event Moline on the 8th with a cage, 16th in Portland without, then on 23rd the cage match is on semi main in Auburn Hills under the Warrior tag then a flight later on last in South Bend IN - more on that later. Ron Garvin actually makes the substitution in a lumberjack match on Hogans undercard in hometown Montreal on the 9th, beating Ravishing by DQ. Other subs for fighting Rude include Hacksaw Duggan, Tito Santana, Brutus Beefcake and Superfly in Miami (DQ finish). 24th the Duggan vs Rude feud that doesn’t exist also goes in the cage for main events in Erie PA and Youngstown OH, and again 25th in Dayton and Columbus. Piper is actually back in the ring 25th at LA Sports Arena - I can’t believe I’m typing this one - tagging with Jesse “the Body” Ventura to beat The Orient Express, taped as part of a pilot for a show called Tag Team. Suddenly Jesse’s line of “that’s my tag team partner” makes sense during Piper vs Bad News at Mania VI. All the guys have different names, the Orients wear face paint and carry swords, are called the Samurai Brothers and are managed by “the unpredictable Mr Sake.”

Dusty Rhodes vs Macho King and Jake Roberts vs Ted DiBiase co-main in Fresno, Calgary, Vancouver, Anchorage, Seattle and a few other towns separately. Duggan vs Perfect is your biggest match in Cedar Rapids with Demolition vs Powers of Pain underneath on 11th, that’s your only anomaly to the rest of the mains covered.

If that mess isn’t complex enough… the rest of the programs?

Rockers & Duggan or Hercules vs Powers of Pain & Mr Fuji and the straight Rockers/Powers tag matches finish this month ; 6th TVs in Sacramento they’re taping Barbar with Bobby and Warload with Slick in their singles guises. They’re still dressed like the Powers and Warlord/Slick come down to Jive Soul Bro so not the finished act, the Powers actually also work the Rockers in a dark match on 6th with Brain & Slick both in their corner so as not to confuse the live crowd. 25th in Hershey as above is their last match together. While they’re losing to Hogan & Boss Man, the Rockers do a double shot with the Harts. Also for Shawn and Marty, 11th in Cape Girardeau MO is the only dry run they have with the Orient Express.

Demolition also have a varied month. They usually work Andre/Haku but 10th they’re with the Bolsheviks in Duluth, 11th they have the Powers of Pain in Cedar Rapids and again on the 24th double shot. MSG on 19th they do the salt/count-our loss to the Orients to get that finish over, as seen on SuperTape 2. Other than the two matches I refer, Sato and Tanaka usually work jobbers.

I can’t believe I’ve got more Boss Man to tell you about on top of tagging with Hogan, a variety of ref gigs and the Rude matches, but here it is. 20th/21st he does a couple of shots with Mr Perfect, beating him via nightstick. When Perfects not in the tag, early month he’s pinning Hillbilly, end of month he’s dropping a few pins each to Boss Man and to Hacksaw and unbelievably 24th in Milwaukee he and Genius lose to the Bushwhackers. When Duggan isn’t with Rude or Perfect, he’s usually wrestling Bad News except 16th in Portland it’s a sole DQ win over Earthquake before losing to him 19th at MSG. The rest of Quake’s month is with Ron Garvin. Apart from a Rude match Brutus is swapping wins with The Model all month. Bushwhackers are usually with Bolsheviks. Otherwise there’s the same mess as previous months where any two guys are thrown together adhoc, except two matches that happen fairly regularly are Superfly vs Dino Bravo and Bret Hart vs Greg Valentine.

Here’s some random shit - March 3rd in Fargo ND there’s transport problems for Warrior for his scheduled Bravo/Earthquake handicap match so that pair join the rest of the assembled crew for a hasty show closing battle royal. The top babyface that last eliminates Quake to win and send the fans home happy? Anvil, OBVIOUSLY.

Night of the 23rd is one of Brets favourite road stories. He opens Auburn Hills with The Model then jumps straight on a plane at Detroit to make his way to South Bend, Indiana to fill in for Dusty Rhodes against the Macho King (Rhodes unavailability not explained). This is to save a card so weak that they’ve already seen Brooklyn Brawler and Black Bart WIN and Anvil vs Hammer go broadway, and an in ring confrontation between Sapphire and Queen Sherri has been stalling for time as Bret approaches the building. Hitman is rightfully proud of being a company guy and jumping on a plane at short notice, and also for going straight out and doing a match with Savage cold with no finish given to him. However as well as misremembering that this was when Randy was feuding with Jake, he likes to state that this was an impromptu main event when in actuality the Rude/Boss Man match was also flown in from Auburn Hills, and that went on last.

Those Canada/Alaska shows I mentioned? Red Rooster does jobs for the fucking Brooklyn Brawler after beating him early in the month. Writings on the wall for Terry.

I saw the pilot episode once upon a time - it's a buddy cop series, where Piper and Ventura are a tag team who somehow become cops. There's a bit where they tag each other in an actual fight, which I guess was meant to be a signature running bit if it had been picked up for a full series.

Speaking of Piper - here's something I learned today. While everyone remembers Roddy substituting for Razor on TV during suspension for his build and eventual fight with Goldust at Mania during Scott's suspension (bless him) - late February Rod actually worked three house shows at the Meadowlands, in Cleveland and in Pittsburgh where he opens the show running through the card then gets confronted by Kid who blames him for his humiliation in the Crybaby Match, leading to a match later where Piper wins after clocking Kid with his old favourite, the ring bell. The Cleveland match being Rod's final real "match" in the WWF with a ref and a three count before he went to WCW.

Fucking hell, Piper and Ventura sharing a flat together in 1991.  Can you imagine what that actually would have been like?

Like Friends, except instead of coffee, it’s a big pile of cocaine. And instead of four other people, it’s a big pile of cocaine.

April 1990

Ultimate Warrior is straight off as WWF Champion against Rick Rude dark on two TV tapings then he’s pinning Macho King semi main (to Hogan) on a huge card in Honolulu on 10th and Ted DiBiase in Tokyo on 13th which made its way to both VHS and DVD. The rest of the month he’s defending against Mr Perfect including at Louisville Gardens and the Philadelphia Spectrum, except for another bout with Ravishing dark at San Antonio TV on 24th. Some of the gates are really disappointing - 6500 in the Spectrum is a third of what they’ll draw when they come back for SummerSlam.

And what of deposed champ Hulk Hogan? He’s pinning Earthquake dark at two TVs immediately after Mania then in Honolulu on the 10th he’s dropping the leg on Mr Perfect which goes on last over the new champ, and Stan Hansen in Tokyo which you may have seen on Coliseum. There’s a DQ finish with Quake in Detroit, Springfield, Boston Garden, a half full MSG on 30th and dark at San Antonio TV,  but there’s a pin 22nd in Waco. Lucky Waco.

Demolition are back in the saddle as champions, increasingly heelish, and doing non-finishes with the Hart Foundation every night. Usually they are co-main with Macho King vs Rowdy Roddy Piper (sub for Dusty Rhodes who spends a week on crutches) apart from 26th in Toledo (Jim Duggan vs Earthquake) and 30th in Phoenix where the Dream is back. Savage vs Rhodes or Piper also main events a few by themselves and the only exception is 25th in Lake Charles where it’s Duggan vs Earthquake without Hogan, Warrior, Savage or Demolition.

Special mention should also go to the final live dates for a year of Andre. In Honolulu the Colossal Connection lose to Demolition by count-out when Andre doesn’t make it back in, and in Tokyo the match set up at February TVs has Andre and Giant Baba beat Demolition non title when Andre pins Smash.

Here’s your other feuds - surprisingly consistent after a couple of months of chaos. Big Boss Man vs Million Dollar Man, Rockers vs Orient Express and Bushwhackers vs Rhythm & Blues are obvious Mania revenge matches. Jake is usually with Bad News, Duggan with Akeem when he’s not on Earthquake duty, The Barber getting nice easy nights with The Genius, Dino Bravo beating Red Rooster, Hercules with Haku. Your file marked “heels getting the push” reads Barbarian over Superfly, Warlord over Tito Santana, The Model over Ron Garvin. Sensational Queen Sherri is actually working short matches with Sapphire too. If you’re wondering who Rude works - for reasons unknown other than coming to TVs to lose to Warrior, Ravishing doesn’t work in April.

Interesting debuts - Paul Diamond (who will become Kato) is getting a look on some shows and 24th in San Antonio Dustin Rhodes works his first dark match. Final note from Honolulu - as well as what’s mentioned above and more obvious pairings of Boss Man vs DiBiase and Jake vs The Model, what’s this I see? Why it’s Bret Hart vs Tito Santana! Tito wins which makes it by my count 1-1-3.

Bizarrely there’s a 3 date swing in New Zealand after the post Mania TVs in conjunction with a native fed. Local heroes The Bushwhackers naturally headline with the Bolsheviks and for reasons I cannot fathom the company dusts off Don Muraco for three wins over Haku, and his old mate Bob Orton Jr who wrestles a certain Norman Smiley. The other WWF guys sent to butt heads with Kiwis? Jim Powers and Tom Magee. Jesus.

Here’s an interesting one-off : January 1993 in Fresno at TVs two days after the Rumble, Money Inc drop a non title match to Bret and Owen - the first notable use of the two brothers as a tag team. Bret was WWF Champion at the time, surprised this didn’t make Coliseum although non-title rarely did.

You might not sit through the lot, mind.

May be a silly question but how did they spread these over tours? Would Warrior vs Bravo for IC headline a B show or be behind Hogan on an a show? Surely a shows must have had crap on it too as you can't overfill a card right? What main evented a c show? Tag team titles or Duggen waving an American flag or Rockers vs Orient express? 

I'm going to search for a Piper vs Rude cage match, that sounds top notch.
