“Mean” Gene Okerlund is seated in front of a “Survivor Series” logo.
Okerlund, “Welcome to the ,Survivor Series Control Center’! Thanksgiving is fast approaching, and we will be back at the Richfield Coliseum in suburban Cleveland, Ohio. The Survivor Series debuted last year, and the fans loved it. The idea is teams of four individuals, or tag teams, battling it out until only one man, or team survives! Thursday night, November 22, will be another exciting night. Tickets go on sale soon, and the event will be in Pay per View. The card will feature three ‘Survivor Series’ matches, but also two other matches where titles will be on the line. The Ultimate Warrior will defend the Intercontinental Championship against ‘Ravishing’ Rick Rude. We will also see the ladies in action, but not just any ladies, but two of the best in the world.The ‘Crush Girls’, Lioness Asuka, and Chigusa Nagayo, dominated the women’s Tag Team scene for several years, but as with so many tag teams, jealously interfered. The team broke up, and Nagayo went on to win the WWWA Championship, known as the ‘Red Belt’. This is the most prestigious women’s title in Japan. Nagayo will defend the title against Asuka at the Coliseum. Let’s not forget the Survivor Series matches. We know one team that will be in action. The ‘!Million Dollar Man’ has, his two henchman, Andre the Giant, and Virgil, will team up with King Kong Bundy. That’s an impressive team, but who will they face? We will have that information in the coming days. Get your tickets, or contact your Pay per View provider!”

We see the “Snake Pit” set.
Jake “The Snake” Roberts walks out.
Roberts, “Welcome to the ‘Snake Pit’. This is where the tough questions are asked, and answered. My guests, today, are a group of men who have issued a challenge for ‘Survivor Series’. They don’t seem to think anyone has the guts to face them.”
Out come Ted DiBiase, Virgil, Andre the Giant, King Kong Bundy, and Bobby ‘The Brain’ Heenan.
Roberts, “Gentlemen, and I use the term loosely, you seem to think you have formed a team that everyone is afraid of. You don’t seem to think anyone wants to get in the ring with you.”
DiBiase, “Listen Roberts, you like to think you’re cool, and mysterious. It’s time for you to admit that you’re looking at the greatest team ever assembled. Nobody wants any part of us!”
Heenan, “Listen up humanoids, you don’t understand greatness, but that’s what you’re looking at, greatness! No one wants to challenge this team!”
