THE COUNTDOWN TO WRESTLEMANIA IV


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

(Bam Bam Bigelow is in the Countdown Rebuttal area.)

Bam Bam: Giant, Todd Pettingill... I don't know WHAT your tryin' to pull. But the Beast from the East ain't buyin' it. Piper put his office on the line last year, and in return Gilbert had to put up the sponsorship of Ted Turner. Why would I wanna put up MY position for YOU? Todd, you little scrawny rodent, you can hide behind the Giant all you want... but there's one thing that's BIGGER, BETTER AND BADDER then a Giant... and that's a TITAN! And pal... I'M TITAN TOWER!

STEEL CAGE MATCH
the Total Package, Lex Luger
vs.
Self Made Man, S.B. Peterson

The Match:
Luger and Peterson are up in the ring. The cage surrounds them! Just as the bell is about to ring, the Sensei appears at the top of the walkway. He comes down to the ring, carrying his staff with both hands and is looking behind him. At ringside, he stands along the side furthest from the aisle and watches the match. He seems restless, glancing around for a moment... then looking to the ring...

Peterson begins with an armwringer that drops Luger down to his knees. S.B. then hits... NECKBREAKER! Then a Drop DDT!!!! Peterson stands his former friend up.... grabs him behind the head... and DRIVES HIM into the cage!!! Luger bounces off, injured... but he pulls himself together and boots Peterson in the gut....

Luger whips the Self Made Man to the ropes... SO HARD THAT HE COLLIDES INTO THE CAGE!!! Peterson bounces off... into Luger's hands... who whips him to the OTHER side, into the cage!!!! Peterson again bounces off... INTO A REVERSE DDT!!!!

Luger picks up Peterson and presses him over his head!!! He extends his arms!!! Peterson switches his weight... and drops down behind Luger... AND HE DRIVES HIM INTO THE CAGE!!!!! Luger turns around, stumbling!! The fans are cheering for S.B.!!

Peterson boots him in the gut... then... DROP DDT!!!! Luger is flattened in the ring as the fans cheer! Peterson follows up with a NECKBREAKER!!!

Luger and Peterson get up to their feet and bash into each other! They roll along the ropes, kicking and punching. Each tries to force the other into the cage.... but it's Peterson that does it... throwing Luger THROUGH the ropes, into the cold steel!!!!

Luger backs up, doubled over in pain... DROP DDT!!!! Peterson picks him up... DROP DDT!!! S.B. isn't done!!! A THIRD DDT!!!! He covers Luger... 1... 2... 3...!!!!!! The place goes NUTS!!! Peterson jumps up victorious as Luger lays motionless in the center of the ring!!!!

Winner, by pinfall: the Self Made Man, S.B. Peterson

Raven comes running down the aisle and leaps into the ring to celebrate with S.B. The Sensei gets into the ring... and HIGH FIVES S.B.... and they walk out together!
