  14. Hulk Hogan (c) def. Ric Flair via reverse decision DQ (for the World Heavyweight Championship).  During the match, Flair knocked out Hogan with brass knuckles then pinned him.  Flair was announced as the new World Heavyweight Champion however, the referee reversed the decision in favor of Hogan when ringside officials told him what happened.  Hogan, Flair, and Mr. Perfect began brawling in the ring and many officials tried to break it up.  This caused Jack Tunney to come to ringside and, during the mayhem, Hogan accidentally shoved President Jack Tunney who fell out of the ring.

 

AFTERMATH:

  • Jack Tunney ruled that, during the main event, the referee's original decision was final.  Therefore, Ric Flair was the new World Heavyweight Champion.  

  • Jack Tunney suspended Hulk Hogan indefinitely for shoving him during the match.  Also, after Tunney's decision to make Flair champion, Hogan went to Tunney's office and "trashed" it.  Tunney found Hogan's behavior unacceptable, therefore the suspension.

  • Harvey Wippleman vowed revenge on the Undertaker and he didn't care who he had to get to avenge him.  Eventually, he attained the services of Kamala.

  • Razor Ramon debuted in the WWF and eventually teamed up with "El Matador" Tito Santana.  They formed a new tag team called "Machismo"
