A computer program used to help bookies figure out who might win a match by inputting all of the critical data about the two competitors was used to simulate a match between The American Dream Dusty Rhodes and Rick Love. Here are the results.

Rick Love, as the challenger, enters the ring first to the entrance music of "Strokin" by Clarence Carter. Rick Love tosses long stem red roses to women in the crowd and accepts kisses from ladies at ringside. Referee Clyde "The Eliminator" Benefield seaches Rick Love to make sure that he is not hiding any foreign objects. The referee then has Rick Love wait in a neutral corner as Dusty Rhodes's entrance music begins. The crowd goes crazy and the cheering is deafening. Once again, Clyde "The Eliminator" Benefield, the referee seaches the competitor. The bell sounds and Rick Love blows kisses to women at ringside as Dustry Rhodes rushes at the center of the ring. The two men lock-up and push each other back and forth. Rick Love gives a shove that nearly knocks Dusty Rhodes on his arse. Rhodes complains to the referee that Rick Love has oil on his body and it is hard to get a hold on him. "The Eliminator" asks Rick Love if he would wipe off with a towel and he does to keep from getting disqualified. Dusty Rhodes then pushes the referee out of the way and gives Rick Love a bionic elbow that knocks him to his knees. Dusty then does his teeth rattling back hand and then tosses Rick Love into the far corner. Rhodes then gives Rick Love a slaps to the face that leaves red hand prints that can be seen from the snack bar.

Rick Love escapes from the corner by giving Rhodes a knee lift to the family jewels and follows up with a series of chops to the chest that would have made Kevin Sullivan proud. Dusty Rhodes recovers and gives Love a bionic elbow that takes him off his feet. Then Dusty Rhodes moves in and quickly applies the sleeper hold and arches his back to lock it in. Rick Love tries desperately to claw his way to the ropes to cause the hold to be broken. Finally he reaches the top rope and the referee calls for the break. Dusty Rhodes chops Rick Love across the ring and then gives him a skull crushing Tomohawk chop that crosses his eyes.

Rick Love then does a double leg take down the legs of Dusty Rhodes and then drops a series of knees into the forehead. Dusty Rhodes recovers and then gets caught in the face with Rick Love's famous drop kick. Dusty Rhodes then falls through the ropes onto the floor. Dusty Rhodes gets to his knees just in time to greet Rick Love who has jumped through the ropes to get to him and then delivers a shot to the family jewels that brings Rick Love to his knees where Dusty Rhodes once again locks on the sleeper hold and carries Rick Love up the ring steps and in to the center of the ring. Rick Love is unable to escape and finally falls into a deep sleep. The referee calls for the bell and Dusty Rhodes is declared the winner. Dusty Rhodes then grabs a pair of sciccors from the ringside medicine kit and begins to clip locks of Rick Love's hair and toss them to the crowd. Dusty Rhodes then lifts Rick Love up and gives him a knee to the back to wake him up. Unaware that his hair was cut Rick Love then grabs the mic and gives his famous post match promo saying: "Stop it! Don't laugh at me! I told you people. I'm a Lover! Not a Fighter!"
