Survivor Series 1989 Redo, Match 1 First Elimination.

[Hulkshi Tanahashi]

New year, new Survivor Series. But first, here's how the last one ended.

With Boss Man gone, Ted DiBiase rushes in as Hulk Hogan gets up. He hits Hogan from behind but Hogan doesn't go down, instead he just turns around and starts pounding on DiBiase. He then throws the Million Dollar Man into his corner and tags out to Randy Savage. Savage goes to work on DiBiase. However, outside the ring, Slick and The Big Boss Man have yet to leave. Suddenly, Slick grabs Miss Elizabeth. Hogan sees this and grabs Slick. However, Boss Man attacks Hogan from behind. Then, he slaps his handcuffs on Hogan, chaining him to the bottom rope. The ref sees this and forces Slick and Boss Man to leave. They do so, but Hogan is still handcuffed. Luckily, Savage is still dominating DiBiase. But, that comes to an end when Virgil trips up Savage. This allows DiBiase to attack Savage from behind when he turns his attention to Virgil. DiBiase soon dominates Savage, and Hogan can't do anything about it being handcuffed. However, Miss Elizabeth has an idea and leaves ringside. As this goes on, DiBiase continues to beat on Savage. Hogan cheers on his partner as that's all he can do. And, it may be working as Savage manages to keep kicking out of DiBiase's pin attempts. After several minutes, Elizabeth returns with bolt cutters. The crowd cheers as it appears that Hogan is about to be free. But, Virgil steps in the way between her and Hogan. Luckily for them, Hogan is able to clothesline Virgil from behind. He goes down, and Elizabeth frees Hogan. However, DiBiase has the Million Dollar Dream locked on. Hogan rushes in and breaks up the hold. He and DiBiase trade blows, and Savage grabs DiBiase from behind. Hogan goes for a clothesline, but DiBiase is able to duck. Hogan hits Savage instead. He is shocked and apologetic. DiBiase takes advantage with a roll up pin, but Hogan kicks out. They get up, and DiBiase clotheslines Hogan into the ropes and out of the ring. Suddenly, Savage comes up from behind with a roll up pin of his own. 1... 2... 3! It's over! The Mega Powers have won. But, there isn't much of a celebration. Savage confronts Hogan over the clotheslines. He apologizes, and Miss Elizabeth comes in to keep the peace. Eventually, they make up with a handshake. Everything is fine. And, hopefully, this won't lead to the Mega Powers exploding.

I voted for the Rooster.

Also, I know these polls don't get a lot of comments; and I don't really mind. But, I do need to hear from the voters this time. The reason: the final match. The original 1989 Survivor Series ended with The Ultimate Warrior, the Rockers, and Jim Neidhart taking on Andre The Giant, Haku, Arn Anderson, and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. However, the match was originally scheduled with Tully Blanchard on Andre's team. But, he failed a drug test before the event and got suspended, prompting the replacement of Heenan. However, since this is a redo, I was wondering if you all wanted me to do the match as it was originally scheduled with Blanchard or to keep Heenan in the match. Just let me know what you want me to do.

It doesn't matter either way is fine with me might be interesting to keep Heenan in the match and see how well he does.

I'm leaning towards Bobby Heenan being in the redo match. Mainly because there have been many Survivor Series matches original scheduled one way, only to see one of the wrestlers replaced for whatever reason, and the Tully Blanchard sub is essentially no different from the others, only that it happened on much shorter notice.

Although, here's another suggestion: you can hold an official (but essentially non-canon) vote between Tully and Heenan. Winner gets in the match.
