Joel: “Eric Bischoff, while I will miss the announcers booth I know based on recommendations across the industry you will do a fine job broadcasting the WWA to wrestling fans across the world. Indeed professional wrestling returns to Los Angeles September 9, and while I am waiting on a few phones calls right now and can’t say anything, I am confident we will have a main event that will make headlines not only in WWA: BUT ACROSS THE WRESTLING WORLD!
Eric Bischoff: “A main event that will make headline across the world? Fans, what could that be? Let’s go to the ring!

This should be interesting: Eric and Ripper are joined by PAUL JONES . . . Amazing Malenko . . . . Russian War Machine and . . . ..A RED HOT DR D DAVID SCHULTZ! 
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Paul: “Now Dave, let me explain . . .
Dr D: “DOGGONITT, DOGGONIT, DOGGONIT, PAUL JONES, HOW MANY TIMES DO AH HAVE TO EXPLAIN! It’s bad enough that Scott Hall is out here claiming he beat me, what he left out is it was because it was YEEER FAULT!
Paul: “No, Dr D, you have it all wrong! We are on your side!
Dr D: “That’s MULARLKEY, PAUL JONES, and you know it!
Paul: “Wait, let me explain!
DR D TOWERS OVER PAUL JONES, AND IT APPEARS AMZING MALENKO AND RUSSIAN WAR MACHINE MIGHT HAVE TO STEP IN!
.
.
.
.
.
.
Eric: “I have an idea, Paul Jones. See that TV monitor over there? Why don’t we show David Schultz and all the people what happened July 8?
Ripper: “NO, THAT’S a terrible idea, Eric Bischoff!
Paul: “No, no need to show the tape!
Eric: “Fans lets go back to July 8----this man Dr D David Schultz v Scott Hall, match in progress!

Hall hooks Schultz’ leg, the ref counts:

ITS PAUL JONES, WHAT BUSINESS DOES HE HAVE HERE! Clearly David Schultz did not invite him to ringside nevertheless Jones PUTS HALLS LEG ON THE ROPES, AND ALERTS THE REF! The ref stops the count, and then turns to ask Jones why he is at ringside, and Schultz joins the ref to argue with Jones, his own manager! Fans, Dr D NOT PLEASED with his manager interfering in his match!
Hall watches on when: RIGHT BEHIND YOU SCOTT! IT’S THE AMAZING MALENKO AND RUSSIAN WAR MACHINE! THEY GRAB HALL, DRAG HIM OUT OF THE RING, AND WAYLAY HIM AT RINGSIDE BUT HALL FIGHTS BACK AND BEATS MALENKO DOWN AND GOES TOE TO TOE WITH THE RUSSIAN GIANT AS THE FANS LOVE IT!
But it’s too much as War Machine and Malenko are still 2:1 v Hall, and as Malenko tries to hold the much bigger Hall in a full nelson, Russian War Machine lines up for THE BIG CLOTHESLINE!
Meanwhile, Schultz still remonstrating as to the the misdeeds of his own manager, turns around to see what is going on outside, steps out of the ropes, and JUST AS HE STEPS OUT THE ROPES, he lands riiiight between Malenko nelsoning Hall and War Machine:

Hall elbows out of the Malenko full nelson, clobbers at stunned War Machine and turns around and chases off Malenko, points a wagging finger at Jones, and drags a stunned Dr D and throws him in the ring by his hair:

Dr D: “AAAAAARGHH!!!! PAUL JONES AH WARNED YOU OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!! AH WILL TAG WITH THESE MEN ANY time you want! I will rassle whoever you sign me to rassle. But ah don’t need ANY help from these NO GOOD COMMIE PINKOS! Now ah have an opponent in the ring, but ah aint stepping one foot towards that ring until you and these two COMMIE PINKOS leave! Now GIT!
Malenko and War Machine don’t seem to appreciate Dr D’s attitude, and step up, but Paul Jones talks them into leaving and they agree.
Dr D: “THAT’S RIGHT, AH SAID GIT AND GIT WHILE THE GITTIN' IS GOOD!
Jones and his tag team beat it, and Schultz, satisfied, heads to the ring!
