WWF Pay Per View Report - April 7th, 1986

Rosemont Horizon, Rosemont, Illinois, USA - Attendance: 9000

In an electric atmosphere, the WWF brought its A-game to the sold-out Rosemont Horizon last night, delivering a card that would be remembered for years to come. The event featured a mix of high-stakes matches and unprecedented spectacles, with something for everyone in attendance.

Match 1: WWE Women's Title Match - The Fabulous Moolah vs. Velvet McIntyre

The evening got underway with the women's division taking center stage. In a match that lasted a mere 1:25, The Fabulous Moolah proved too much for the plucky Velvet McIntyre, retaining her WWE Women's Championship in the process. While some may have seen this as an upset of sorts, it was clear from the opening bell that Moolah had the skills and experience to take care of business.

Match 2: Flag Match - Corporal Kirchner vs. Nikolai Volkoff

In a match that showcased two of the WWF's most physical competitors, Corporal Kirchner emerged victorious over Nikolai Volkoff in a Flag Match. The bout lasted a respectable 2:05, with both men giving it their all in a battle for national pride. While Kirchner may have gotten the W, it was clear that both men left everything they had in the ring.

Match 3: WWF & NFL Battle Royal - Andre the Giant vs. B. Brian Blair, Big John Studd, Bill Fralic, Bret Hart, Bruno Sammartino, Dan Spivey, Ernie Holmes, Harvey Martin, Hillbilly Jim, Jimbo Covert, Jim Brunzell, Jim Neidhart, King Tonga, Pedro Morales, Russ Francis, Ted Arcidi, The Iron Sheik, Tony Atlas, and William Perry

In a match that defied conventional wisdom, Andre the Giant proved to be the last man standing in a WWF & NFL Battle Royal. Featuring an incredible 20 competitors from both the wrestling and football worlds, this bout was less about strategy and more about sheer strength and endurance. At 9:09, it was clear that only one giant (pun intended) could emerge victorious - and Andre did just that.

Main Event: WWF World Tag Team Title Match - The British Bulldogs vs. The Dream Team

In the night's main event, the world saw a clash of titans as the reigning WWF World Tag Team Champions, the British Bulldogs, took on the challenger team known as The Dream Team. In a match that showcased some of the finest tag-team wrestling the sport has to offer, the Bulldogs emerged victorious, retaining their titles in the process. This was no fluke, either - both teams gave it their all, leaving everything they had in the ring.

In conclusion, last night's WWF Pay Per View event at the Rosemont Horizon was a true spectacle that will be remembered for years to come. With a mix of high-stakes matches and unprecedented spectacles, there was something for everyone in attendance. For those who missed it, we can only say - you truly missed out.
