More offense from Perfect and then he adds some chops.
Perfect with several slaps to the face until Beefcake sling shots him in the corner, which causes Perfect’s head to hit the post. Beefcake then covers him for the pin at 7:48.

Randy Savage and Sensational Sherri vs. Dusty Rhodes and Sapphire – Mixed Tag Team Match
Gorilla reminds us this is the first mixed tag match in the company’s history. Jesse then gets flustered about the ring announcer saying that Dusty and Sapphire are a combined 465 pounds because he knows Sapphire is a good 250 pounds. This was a different era to say the least.

BACKSTAGE: Gene with Jake. Yes, this is THAT promo from Jake. He talks about making DiBiase beg for his own money and then uses the classic line: “A victim of your own greed, wallowing in the muck of avarice.” If only wrestling promos were still like this. Just tremendous work here.

Jake goes for a running bulldog but DiBiase with his own counter that sends Jake to the mat. DiBiase works on Jake and then uses the front face lock as the Toronto crowd starts the wave. At least they’re not chanting “CM Punk.” Of course, it’s also not ideal that they’re focused on the wave during what’s supposed to be a heated feud between two of the company’s top stars.
DiBiase rams Jake’s arm into the ring post as Jesse jokes about the crowd being on their feet for DiBiase. The boos start as DiBiase hits a piledriver, but he taunts for a second before getting a pin attempt for two. Jake reverses into his own pin attempt for a near fall as DiBiase quickly goes back on the attack. DiBiase then locks in the Million Dollar Dream and holds it on for a bit before Jake gets his foot on the ropes. DiBiase drags Jake to the middle of the ring but only gets a two count.

They’re both down, but Virgil grabs DiBiase and rolls him back in the ring as Jake gets counted out at 11:50. After the match, Jake hits a double clothesline on DiBiase and Virgil as money goes flying everywhere. Jake then hands out money to the crowd, including Mary Tyler Moore pocketing a crisp $100 bill. Jake also shoves some money in DiBiase’s mouth before unleashing Damien, but Virgil gets DiBiase out of the ring. The rest holds didn’t do much for the crowd and it seemed like this one never hit that next gear. It was still fine, though.

BACKSTAGE: Gene with Boss Man. He says DiBiase is scum and that he doesn’t take money from anybody. Boss Man also says he’s proud to be an American. So we’ve had Hacksaw trying to start a USA chant and Boss Man talking about his American pride. Did Vince realize this show was in Canada?

SHOW SUMMARY
You won’t find many technical masterpieces on this show, but the cast of characters was one of the best of any event in wrestling history. As was usually the case during this era, lots of the matches on the card were used to push storylines, and there was nothing wrong with that. The Hogan vs. Warrior main event exceeded expectations, and Andre’s turning on Heenan and riding off into the sunset was quite a visual. Fun show.
