Runners Tag team (with Sting) was "Rock". Useless information huh? Well how about this, When Muraco was simply
"Magnificent", he feuded with Rocky Johnson, who at the time was called "The Rock". Rocky Johnson is the father of
Rocky Maivia, who is now known as, you guessed it.....THE ROCK!)
MSG 4/25/88 (VERY GOOD QUALITY) 2HRS 20MIN

really into it as the match neared its conclusion.)

8. Ultimate Warrior v. Hercules (Sloppy match, but the crowd just LOVES this guy!)
9. Demolition v. Strike Force (Strike Force attempt to regain their recently lost Tag Team titles from Demolition. VERY GOOD MATCH!
Once again, during the years of 1987 and 1988, the WWF had the best tag team division in it's history. You were Guaranteed a great match,
no matter which 2 teams you put in the ring. The only shame was that Vince wouldn't put his faces and his heels against each other.)

1. S.D. Jones v. The Conquistador
2. George "The Animal" Steele v. Greg "The Hammer" Valentine

Conquistadors. Basically Jobbers with an actual name.)
4. Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake v. One Man Gang
5. The British Bulldogs & Koko B. Ware v. The Islanders & Bobby "The Brain" Heenan (Sivi "High Chief" Afi is subbing for Tama)
6. Iron Mike Sharpe v. Jerry Allen

10. Ken Patera v. Dino Bravo
11. JYD v. "The Outlaw" Ron Bass
12. Howard Finkel announces the matches for next month's MSG card. Nothing out of the ordinary here, as Finkel does this at every show.
However, when Finkel announces that Heenan will face the ULTIMATE WARRIOR in a weasel suit match, "The Brain" storms the ring and goes
NUTS! Very funny segment.

4.
"The Rock" Don Muraco v.
"Dangerous" Danny Davis (Pretty Funny, as the 210lb Davis is almost
completely ineffective
against the 280lb Muraco. Muraco was about to finish him with a
Tombstone Piledriver, when Greg Valentine runs in
and attacks Muraco.
He also gets in a cheap shot on Superstar Billy Graham for good measure.

Jim Duggan v. One Man Gang
6.
Andre the Giant v. Bam Bam
Bigelow (Andre is choking Duggan relentlessly when Jim Duggan runs in to
make the save.)
7.
Ultimate Warrior v. Bobby
Heenan (Weasel Suit match. The winner is the one who can beat his
opponent and stuff his
opponent into a weasel suit. Do I even NEED to tell you who won
this one? Pretty funny to see Heenan stumble around,
chasing his tail and
falling downin the weasel suit.)

Anvil" Neidhart (Bad News cuts a good promo about how he just WALKED to
MSG from
Harlem, and how the Hart
