1986 Finals recap:
The Junkyard Dog started off quickly knocking Piper around with shoulderblocks and clotheslines, but a thumb to the eye allowed Piper to take advantage. Piper was relentless on offense not allowing JYD any time for a comeback. Piper attempted to finish the Dog off with the figure four but JYD kicked him off into the ringpost. Finally back on offense, JYD leveled Piper with a couple of huge headbutts and went to finish Piper off with the Powerslam, but Piper slid down the back and applied the Sleeper. JYD tried backing Piper into a corner a couple of times but Piper held on and put the Dog to sleep to win the crown.
ALL HAIL THE 1986 KING OF THE RING:
KING RODERICK THE ROWDY!!!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now lets move foward to September 4, 1987. The Tournament has relocated to my neck of the woods, The Providence Civic Center in Providence, Rhode Island. And with King Roddy's retirement the crown is once again vacant. Who among these 16 hopefuls will take their first step to wrestling royalty? It' time to vote.
