Vince McMahon, and Jesse Ventura open the show.
McMahon, “Welcome to Salisbury, MD, and ‘Superstars’! I’m here with the referee for the cage match at SummerSlam! Jesse, this is an outrage!”
Ventura, “What are you talking about McMahon? Jack Tunney wanted someone who could handle both Hogan, and the Giant, and that’s me!”
McMahon, “I don’t trust you! Hulk Hogan embarrassed you! You’ve always been jealous of him! I also think the Million Dollar Man might pay you off!”
Ventura, “Are you questioning my integrity?”
McMahon, “Yes! Now let’s get to the show. Our feature match is an Intercontinental Title Match. The Ultimate Warrior defends against one of the toughest veterans in the business, Sika!”
Ventura, “The Ultimate Maniac has his hands full!”
Match #1
“Outlaw” Ron Bass vs. S.D. Jones
The big Outlaw from Houston has been very impressive since arriving in the WWF. Jones is always a stiff test. SD starts fast, and Bass is back on his heels. Bass mounts a comeback. He hits the Texas Ghordbuster for the win. He then gives Jones a few lashes with “Miss Betsy”.
Winner-Ron Bass
Match #2
Billy Jack Haynes vs. Terry Gibbs
Haynes continues to be one of the hottest stars in wrestling. Gibbs is a veteran who can hold his own. Billy uses his strength to control the action. Gibbs tries every underhanded trick in the book, but Haynes is too much. He clamps on the full Nelson and Gibbs submits.
Winner-Billy Jack Haynes
“Mean” Gene Okerlund is with Bobby “The Brain” Heenan.
Okerlund, “Fano, I’m here with Bobby ‘The Brain’ Heenan. Mr. Heenan, let’s get right to the point. You were one of the top managers in wrestling.”
Heenan, “Were? What are you talking about Okerlund?”
Okerlund, “Well, you sold Andre, you sold Muraco. Others have left your ‘Family’. It seems like the ship is taking on water.”
Heenan, “That shows how much you know. I’m always two, or three moves, ahead of everyone. I’m doing some house cleaning. My ‘Family’ is changing. In fact, someone is returning home, and here he is!”
King Kong Bundy walks out to join Heenan.
Okerlund, “Wow! King Kong Bundy!”
Heenan, “That’s right humanoids, King Kong Bundy is back, and the rest of the WWF better get out of our way!”
Okerlund, “Bobby Heenan is back on top!”
Match #3

Roberts, “Welcome to the ‘Snake Pit’, where I get to the bottom of things. The tag team scene here is as good as it’s ever been. The Champions are two guys from Texas, the Von Erich Brothers.”
Kerry and Kevin walk out.
Roberts, “Let’s get right to the point. I’ve known you two for a while, and you’re great wrestlers, but I have one question. Like I said, there are a lot of great tag teams around here, are you tough enough to beat them all?”
Kevin, “Jake, Kevin, and I remember you from Texas. We know how you work. You’re right, there are a lot of great teams, but Kerry and I are ready for anything.”
Roberts, “I agree, you two are a great team, but are you tough enough?”
Kerry, “Kevin, and I are on top, and we plan on staying there. The fans are behind us, and nothing is going to stop us!”
Roberts, “What about the Rougeaus, the Orient Express, the Bolsheviks…”
Kevin, “Stop right there, we know all about them, but the Von Erich Brothers are ready for anybody!”
Roberts, “The Von Erich Brothers seem ready, but time will tell.”
