WWF World Champion: Randy Savage-27/3/88
WWF Intercontinental Champion: The Ultimate Warrior-29/8/88
WWF Tag Team Champions: Demolition-27/3/88
WWF Wrestling Challenge
December 25th, 1988
Tampa, FL
Match#1 The Ultimate Warrior vs John Latu
Heenan talks about bodies and the power of posing that Rude possesses, and it's maybe the most Vince coded bullshit we've encountered thus far. Warrior spends two minutes trying to kill the kid as he throws him around on his head into the mat and ropes, and just belts the braincells out of him. I am falling in love with Warrior killing people for real, i must admit. He wins with the Combo in the best squash he has to date.

WWF Update-
-Lord Hayes speaks about the luck of the draw in the Rumble.
-He runs down the lineup again.
Match#2 Greg Valentine & Honky Tonk Man w/Jimmy Hart vs George South & Jose Luis Rivera
More bad stuff as HTM drags poor Greg down into the mud and muck and stinks it up. Greg gets to do a little bit, but nowhere near as much as he should be doing. He at least wins with the Figure Four, but it's too late.
1/2*
WWF Events Center-
-Hammer doesn't care what number he gets as he's been here for a long time and he's always been a winner, and this will be no different.
-The Rockers cut a really bad promo talking about the levels of pain and difficulty in this, and how they're going to go after the Busters when they get a chance. Marty then shouts that one of them will win.
Match#3 Jake Roberts vs Rusty Brooks
As it has been for the last 9 months since the Rude feud started, Jake gives us a perfectly fine but nothing to write home about squash for 2 minutes. Love Jake a lot, but gosh has this been a really terrible year for him. Jake wins with the DDT.
*
Post match, Damien comes out to play.
Match#4 Dino Bravo w/Frechy Martin vs Mario Mancini
Dino does Dino things and has not improved in any way, and it's quite amazing. Reminds me of Jinder in 2017 when everyone was wondering if he would become good and it never happened, and that's Dino as well. He wins with his Sidewalk Slam.
1/2*
WWF Events Center-
-Randy talks about the threats in this from Andre to News given what they've said and done, and he will SLAP them down if he gets the chance. No one can stop him as he's the champion and it doesn't matter who it is. He's coming with the madness.
Match#5 Demolition vs Rusty Riddle & Daniel Brazil
Gorilla reads the entire list down and nearly passes out, and it's another moment where i'm reminded why i can't stand him for the most part. However, we love Demo as they smash and bash some jobbers as the turn has made them even more insane and brutal, and it's fucking sick. They take a head off to win.

Stage Interview
-Mr Perfect says what you see is what you get and that's Perfect. Gene runs down all the sports he's perfect at, and Perfect moves on to the ring where he says he's most alive and takes care of it all as he was born with a sign of perfection that follows him everywhere he goes. He wonders how all these ugly people can go through life looking the way they do when he's perfect.
-He's been looking forward to this as this will be perfect, and everyone will learn why he's Perfect.
Match#6 The Rockers vs Jose Estrada & Mike Sharpe
Hell yeah, one more great one to close the year out as the boys get 3 minutes and kill it with a million mile an hour squash that leaves you with a smile on your face. Marty gets his ass kicked a little so we see some great selling, and then Shawn gets in and lights them up like a proper madman. They win with the Crossbody/Suplex
**
Match#7 The Big Boss Man w/Slick vs David Heath
Boss Man kicks the hell out of baby Gangrel for 90 seconds, and i imagine that time and match will happen again in 99. Boss wins with the Slam.

Post match, he cuffs and beats him up.
