Mark Lowrance is at ringside with the American Tag Team Champions...
LOWRANCE: I'm here with the Funks, the current American Tag Team Champions! Gentlemen, you have seen two of the top contending teams. Can I get your thoughts on the Guerreros and the Youngbloods?
DORY: They are two good teams, but you are looking at two former World Champions! Between my brother and myself, we've beaten 'em all! From Fritz Von Erich to Ric Flair to Jack Brisco to Wahoo McDaniel! Do you really think those two teams worry us at all?
TERRY: My brother is the greatest technical wrestler who ever lived! Do you think that Chavo Guerrero could get that hold on him? Do you seriously think that Mark Youngblood could get me in the bulldog? They are pretty good, but we are the Funks! We are just on a different level than anybody else, Mark Lowrance! If we have to huty somebody to prove that, so be it!
LOWRANCE: Strong words from your American Tag Team Champions! Big John Studd's Bodyslam Challenge is up next!

LOWRANCE: At least three pro wrestlers will take a chance. First, from Tampa, Florida, the very capable Brian Blair!

STUDD: NEXT!
LOWRANCE: Welcome longtime favorite ALBERTO MADRIL!
The fans really get between the popular Madril. Al tries to soften Studd up with a few jabs to the body before attempting the slam. It doesn't help as Madril just can't do it!
STUDD: Better luck next time, little man!
LOWRANCE: Finally, we have a veteran wrestler who came in all the way from Kansas City.....RUFUS R. “FREIGHT TRAIN JONES!!!!
Jones hits the ring and takes Lowrance's mic!
JONES: The name is Rufus R. Jones! The R is for “guts”! I've know this big boy since he started rasslin! He is a cat burglar and a thief in the night! My rasslin career is about over and I am fixin to open a restaurant in Kansas City. That fifteen thousand would sure come in handy! Here goes nothin!
STUDD: Go for it, Rufus!
Jones goes for the slam! He has Studd off his feet, but he quickly puts him back down and walks away, holding his back!
STUDD: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Is that the best you have to offer? That was easy, Mark!
At ringside, several fans are urging a huge young man at ringside, dressed in bib overalls and a Texas Rangers ball cap to take the challenge.
STUDD: Anybody in the audience wanna try? Fifteen grand could buy a lot of chewin tobacco and Coors beer for some redneck!
Studd taunts the crowd some more before stepping over the top rope and leaving!
LOWRANCE: Three very capable athletes try and fail! Can anybody slam Studd? We'll see Tito Santana wrestle Killer Tim Brooks up next!

LOWRANCE: Before our next match, I want to speak to the man known worldwide as the Ragin Bull...Manny Fernandez! You've already stirred up contoverys here in Wolrd Class. Why did you slam Tito Santana's head into the ring post last week?
FERNANDEZ: I don't owe you any explanation for anything I do! I'm The Ragin Bull and nobody does it better than the Bull! From Austin to Boston, from Maine to Spain, I've left a trail of busted heads and broken bones! I'm the greatest Latino wrestler of all times! But everywhere I go, all I hear is Tito Santana this and arriba that! It makes me sick!
LOWRANCE: So you acted out of jealousy?
FERNANDEZ: How would you like me to knock your teeth out? Jealousy? What do I have to be jeaulous of? I'm better lookin than he is, made more money, won more titles, you name it! Jealous? What a joke! Look at this video that they put together on the Bull! I better leave before I puke! (sarcastically) Arriba!

MERCER: I'm joined by the always popular gentlema from England, Chris Adams! Chris, you took on Austin Idol, the American Champion last week and you had him in big trouble until Big John Studd intervened! Today, Idol defends his title against Brian Adias in what you should be a great match!
ADAMS: Bill, I had that Idol right where I wanted him and, if there hadn't been interference, I'd have won! I want to personally think Tito Santana and Wahoo McDaniel for helping me when I really needed them! I was in a bad way until they arrived! This week, I'm here to watch my good friend Brian Adias get his shot at Idol! I wish Brian the best of luck! Nobody deserves success more than he does and I think he'll give Austin Idol a fantastic match, Bill Mercer!

Idol takes advantage of an Adias mistake and begins working Brian's leg. Austin gets distracted by Adams being in the announce booth and that's all the opening Adias needs to make a comeback. Brian is limping, but he beats the champ from pillar to post! Brian goes for the airplane spin, but the leg Idol has worked on goes out and the challenger collapses! Idol applies the Las Vegas leglock right in the middle! As Studd pounds on the ring apron, Adias tries to battle out of it, but it's a futile effort and brian has to submit!
