Tony Schiavone, Ric Flair, and Bobby Heenan are in the announce position.
Schiavone, “Welcome to Memphis, TN, what a two hours of action we have for you! Diamond Dallas Page will challenge Scott Norton for the World TV Title. In the main event, Big Van Vader and Sid Vicious are scheduled to take on Sting, and Hulk Hogan. I say ‘scheduled’ because Hulk Hogan is not here. Apparently, he was flying in from Los Angeles, and missed a connecting flight. He is trying to hire a private plane to get here. We will have more information as the show progresses.”
Flair, “Brain, what’s going on?”
Heenan, “I’ve got inside information on this. Hulk Hogan was in Hollywood, negotiating a movie deal. He was supposed to catch an 11 AM flight. The director and producer took him out for brunch, and they weren’t finished in time. That’s why he missed his flight. Like I said, he cares about Hulk Hogan, not Luger, not Sting.”
Schiavone, “Brain, if that’s true, you just broke a big story.”
Brain, “If anyone knows Hollywood, I know Hollywood.”
Schiavone, “Let’s get things started with Lex Luger.”
