Your Host is Tony Schiavone from the casino in Atlantic City New Jersey
Tony runs down the card. It’s cute that he thinks Rockin’ Robin singing is somehow a selling point
Andre the Giant/Jake Roberts feud review video. If you’ve never seen the snake heart attack angle from Saturday Night’s Main Event, it’s quite the piece of business. This is a crazy long video, though, like ten minutes!
WWF Intercontinental Champion Ultimate Warrior/Rick Rude feud review video
WWF Tag Team Champions Demolition/Powers of Pain feud review video. I’m still not sure I get Mr. Fuji’s thought process here, dumping the tag champs in favor of another team. You already had the champions! No wonder they signed a handicap match, the guy clearly was disabled
Brutus Beefcake is ready to strut and cut on Ted DiBiase, on behalf of poor people everywhere. We didn’t choose you as our representative, sir
Ted DiBiase politely rejects the offer for the haircut. That should be the end the matter right there. Move on, Beefcake
Red Rooster/Bobby Heenan feud review video. Featuring Brooklyn Brawler! Well, it’s main event territory now
Morton Downey Jr is here to get rid of Roddy Piper
And we close with five minutes of a simple countdown clock
BUExperience: A surprising amount of real estate dedicated to Andre/Jake aside, this was a pretty focused final push. But, even more surprising than how much time Andre/Jake got, there was barely even a mention of the main event. Other than Tony mentioning it in passing during the opening, they didn’t spend even five seconds hyping it. Kind of odd.
