Footnotes
- ↑ Late in the match, Harley Race laid Hulk Hogan across a table outside the ring and attempted to hit a diving headbutt from the ring apron, but Hogan moved out of the way and Race crashed through the table, suffering a legitimate injury that would eventually force him into retirement in 1991.
- ↑ After the match, Hulk Hogan appeared at ringside to clear the ring of DiBiase and Virgil after they began a post-match beatdown of Randy "Macho Man" Savage.
- ↑ Only the first fall was televised.
- ↑ Prematch stipulations stated Bret Hart would face the winner at WrestleMania VIII
- ↑ Jim Duggan and Sgt. Slaughter were replacements for The Legion of Doom.
- ↑ The telecast ended with Miss Elizabeth coming to the ring and celebrating with Savage. A week later during Superstars, it was revealed that Roberts prepared to hit Elizabeth with a steel chair as soon as she stepped backstage, only for The Undertaker to prevent the attack and allow Savage to hit Roberts with a chair of his own.
