WrestleMania Moment: WM IX. Worlds largest toga party.

The ten man tag scheduled will not happen due to a team not being able to figure out their captain. I saw Jeff Jarrett, Rick Martel and the Headshrinkers. I wonder what the real story was.

Cornette hops on the apron and Piper runs him off. Hart dodges a Yoko splash and tries to take over with strikes and a headbut which knocks him down to his ass. Hart continues to strike to chop the big man down. Cornette pulls Piper out of the ring while he is counting and Piper KO's Corny.

Yoko is now back on the offence, choking and headbutting Hart. Yoko and Piper go nose to nose before he drops a huge leg on Hart. Yoko taunts Hart to get to his feet and the tosses him over the top to the floor. Back in the ring, Hart moves out of the way of an avalanche and then hits a nice bulldog off the middle rope. Hart then hits a nice sliding lariat but only gets a 2 count. Hart leaps off the middle rope but gets caught with a Belly to belly. He drags Bret to the corner and goes up for the banzai and falls off the rope crashing to the mat. Hart pins him for the victory and the title. Horrible finish. The face lockerroom empties to celebrate with the new champ.
