Original Airdate: June 19, 1994
Your Host is Todd Pettengill from inside the Baltimore Arena in Baltimore Maryland
Todd runs down the card to start
Bret Hart/Diesel feud review video. A basic, but very well structured program
Todd goes up into the upper deck, showing us the view from the cheap seats. These folks are too poor to get good seats, and now they’re being subjected to Todd? Brutal
Todd hypes the King of the Ring Hotline, as long as you’ve got your wallet out and your dialing hand warmed up
Johnny Polo catches up with Shawn Michaels in the locker room, and he’s not worried about whatever mystery family member Bret is planning to have in his corner tonight
Todd is still in the cheap seats, annoying the poor
King of the Ring ad, focusing on Bret/Diesel
Video package reviewing the brackets in the tournament, along with the qualifying matches that got us here
Todd is out by the entrance area, where Thurman Plugg is taking on Kwang in the dark match
On Countdown to the Crowning, Randy Savage made his predictions, in a way only the Macho Man/a drug addict outside a bus depot can
Polo is backstage with Mabel, who he predicts will win. Kind of funny to think he’d pick him, considering Men on a Mission had just finished feuding with his Quebecers all spring
King of the Ring ad, focusing on Roddy Piper/Jerry Lawler
Randy Savage makes his entrance in the arena, where he’ll be doing commentary. Art Donovan makes a cameo here, missing his mark, and thinking this is his entrance. Yeah, seems about right
Piper/Lawer feud review
Todd pretends he’s Roddy Piper, and makes an entrance
Backstage, Polo makes fun of him, complete with a (very bad) Piper impression
New Generation ad
At ringside, the commentators are doing the mic check. Donovan sleeps. He looks completely checked out, like someone took his batteries out. Luckily, they got it back in for the live show. Very luckily
In the ring, Todd steals a camera, and films the crowd, then asks each commentator for a prediction: Gorilla Monsoon picks Mabel. Savage refuses to pick. Donovan picks Razor Ramon. So many people picking Mabel… maybe they’re time travelers?
BUExperience: This is Todd in his element, and I’m here for it.
