Sean Mooney is seated in front of a “Saturday Night’s Main Event” banner.
Mooney, “On the heels of a most exciting Wrestlemania IV, Saturday Night’s Main Event returns to NBC. On May 6, at 11:30 PM, the WWF returns to network television. Two matches have been signed, and both are from the fallout of Wrestlemania IV. First, a rematch, Demolition defends the WWF Tag Team Titles against the Von Erich Brothers. The match in Atlantic City was a wild one, this one should be no different. The second match features two men who did not have the most successful Wrestlemania’s. The former WWF Champion, Ted DiBiase, will take on...Hulk Hogan! First let’s hear from the ‘Million Dollar Man’.”
Ted DiBiase and Virgil are in the interview area.
DiBiase, “It sticks in my craw when they say ‘former’ Champion! A man of my destination should not be a ‘former’ anything. Savage, you are the luckiest man alive! I’m coming back for my title, and it starts by beating Hogan on Saturday Night’s Main Event!”
Mooney, “Now let’s hear from the Hulkster!”
Hulk Hogan is in another interview area.
Hogan, “I’m not going to scream and yell today. I let down my fans at Wrestlemania IV, Andre didn't pin me, but he beat me. I want that big stinky Giant back on the ring. I want to prove to him I’m the better man. Now Ted DiBiase is in my path, well the ‘Million Dollar Man’ is going to pay a price, and and then, Andre you’re next, ‘cause whatcha’ gonna’ do when ‘Hulkamania’ runs wild over you!”
Match #5
