THE COUNTDOWN TO WRESTLEMANIA IV



FROM THE TORONTO SKYDOME IN TORONTO, CANADA - MARCH 1ST 1997

Benoit takes the advantage and spins Animal around, dropkicking him in the back... but not dropping him all the way down.... just to his knees. Benoit tags in Anderson... who comes in....and sets for a Drop DDT... and Benoit goes to the top rope.... THEY'RE GOING FOR THE APOCALYPSE AGAIN!

Anderson drops the DDT down... Benoit flies... FLYING HEAD BUTT! Benoit rolls out as Arn covers... 1... 2... Animal kicks free! Arn rakes his eyes then gets up to his knees and starts jabbing at him. He follows with another eye rake... then a double axehandle... and another eye gouge!

This angers Animal more! He sits up and blasts Anderson with a chop.... then lifts him to his feet with a Full Nelson!!! Animal swings Anderson around, holding the Full Nelson... and putting him in front of Roxanne! She swings a European Uppercut at Anderson, who drops out of the way... and comes up and PUNCHES ROXANNE AGAIN!!!!! She drops down to her knees on the apron. The fans can't believe it! Anderson turns around cockily....

INTO AN ANIMAL CLOTHESLINE! Animal drapes Anderson's throat across the top rope... and DROPS DOWN TO THE OUTSIDE WITH HIM!!! Anderson bounces back into the ring, clutching at his wind pipe! Animal...TAGS IN ROXANNE!

Woman comes in on the other side, as Anderson rolls out. Woman rakes Roxanne in the face...Roxanne kicks back, temporarily blinded from the blood and the eye gouge... but she hits her mark! Woman kicks with a high boot to Roxanne's head...

Arn Anderson comes into the ring and pushes Woman aside slightly....HE'S GOING TO LAY INTO ROXANNE!!! Roxanne collects herself... AND DROPKICKS ANDERSON OUT OF THE RING! THE SKYDOME GOES CRAZY!!!!

Woman runs in on Roxanne... and Roxanne DROP TOE HOLDS HER... THEN FOREARMS HER IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD! Anderson rolls back into the ring. The Road Warriors complain about Anderson. They begin to come in... but the referee turns to stop them.

Anderson grabs Roxanne and he and Woman do a double... DROP DDT!!!! Benoit climbs up to the top rope. Anderson sets her up for another Drop DDT as Woman keeps the referee's attention on the Road Warriors who are yelling and pointing angrily toward what's going on.

The Enforcers are going for the Apocalypse on Roxanne! Anderson readies himself for the Drop DDT... but Roxanne breaks out with a sharp European Uppercut to Anderson's gut. She starts to get up... but Benoit flies off the top rope... AND HEAD BUTTS HER!!! She drops down. Anderson and Benoit leave the ring.

Woman turns around and continues the assault on Roxanne... who reaches desperately out for a tag to one of the Road Warriors... SHE CAN'T REACH! Woman picks up Roxanne to her feet. Roxanne is rubber-legged... and bleeding badly. But she manages a swing... and hits a forearm smash on Woman! Then she brings up a boot and kicks her!

Roxanne turns to make a tag... and Woman catches her... ONE HANDED CHOKE SLAM!!! Woman holds up four fingers and signals for her finisher, the Lou Thesz Press! Roxanne is whipped to the ropes.... Woman runs at her.... ROXANNE DIVES OFF THE ROPES AND HITS A LEAPING FOREARM THAT BLASTS WOMAN INTO THE ROPES....

Woman bounces back... INTO THE HEADBANGER FRANKENSTEINER!!!! Roxanne covers... the Enforcers come into the ring.... the count hits 1.... Hawk nails Benoit with a punch... 2..... Animal hits Anderson with a double axehandle... 3....!!!!!!

Roxanne gets up.... and PUNCHES BOTH ARN AND BENOIT... then Hawk and Animal dump them out of the ring! Roxanne kicks Woman out of the ring, then turns and gives high fives to Hawk and Animal! Heart Attack is clapping!
