Mildred Burke vs Millie Stafford

One of the most famous matches in WWF history, "The War To Settle The Score" between WWF World Champion Hulk Hogan and Rowdy Roddy Piper took place in Madison Square Garden. The match, which saw pop star Cyndi Lauper in Hogan's corner, was aired live on MTV. The referee was knocked out during the match and Paul Orndorff joined Piper in beating down Hogan. Lauper got on the ring apron, and Piper and Orndorff were advancing on her when actor Mr. T, sitting in the crowd, came to Lauper's aid. Hogan & T went at it with Piper & Orndorff until police officers separated them. This is the match that would set up the main event of the first WrestleMania.

A Look Back At The Brawl To End It All


The Brawl To End It All - a battle between WWF Women's champion The Fabulous Moolah and Wendi Richter. The event, broadcast live on MTV, marked the beginning of the Rock 'n' Wrestling Connection that would catapult Hulk Hogan into an uncharted stratosphere of fame for a professional wrestler. The woman at the center of the hoopla, the event's most important participant, wasn't even participating in the match. Pop star Cyndi Lauper, a newcomer on the road to winning the next year's Grammy for Best new Artist, was in the corner of the challenger, cheering her on to defeat a champion who had held onto her belt for nearly 30 years.

With Lauper managing Richter and Albano managing the legendary Moolah, the match was high on spectacle but low on real wrestling, especially by today's standards. After pushing Richter into the corner face first, Moolah planted Richter's shoulders to the mat with a reverse sunset flip. Unbeknownst to Moolah, whose shoulders were pinned to the mat, Richter lifted her right shoulder up before the three count. Only when the ring announcer proclaimed that Richter had won the match did people realize that history had been made...More?

Wendi Richter: A Celebration of Her Ups and Downs

On the eve of 2010's WWE Hall of Fame and WrestleMania bonanzas, we're reminded again about keeping your friends close and your enemies closer -- especially in pro wrestling.

Overshadowed by Bret "Hitman" Hart's return, (and his long-awaited chance to step in the ring with Vince McMahon and finally avenge the Montreal Screwjob), is Wendi Richter's induction into the Hall, which could be interpreted as another move by wrestling's kingpin to mend fences he broke long ago.

Richter probably knows just what Hart went through when McMahon arranged to have his heavyweight title taken away from him in a swerve finish. Especially seeing as how a similar incident occurred to her first...More?
