Vince McMahon and Jesse “The Body” Ventura open the show.
McMahon, “Welcome to Miami, FL, and ‘Wrestling Superstars’! Jesse, we haven’t seen much of you since we arrived in South Florida.”
Ventura, “Of course not, McMahon, if you had a body like mine, you’d be at the beach! But you don’t!”
McMahon, “Speaking of bodies, we have two of them in our main event. The Ultimate Warrior, the Intercontinental Champion, meets Rick Rude in a non-title match..
Ventura, “Why is it non-title? Is the Warrior scared?”
McMahon, “Of course not, he’s not afraid!”
Ventura, “It sure looks like it.
McMahon, “Let’s get things started.”
