MAGNIFICENT MURACCO RETURNS TO CALIFORNIA!
-Magnum Scott Hall def. Bob Bradley
-Romeroz def. Joe Savoldi + Joey Maggs
-Magnificent Muracco tapes a vignette in Skid Row, and surrounded by homeless people says this is the most valuable real estate in California. He claims no matter where he goes, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Belair, all he sees are homeless bums.
-Chavo Guererro defeats Iron Mike Sharpe in a non title match, then tells Eric and Ripper he accepts the Russians offer----in return for one more world tag team title shot for his brothers Eddie and Mando, he WILL defend the World heavyweight title this Tuesday in Fresno to a wrestler of Paul Jones choosing!
-Paul Jones comes out next segment and announces his challenger for the title in Fresno: RUSSIAN WAR MACHINE!
-Russian War Machine + Dr D David Schultz w/Paul Jones def Ted Arcidi + B Brian Blair when Amazing Malenko runs in and beans Blair outside the ring with a chain and throws him back in for Dr D to pin. D refuses, and instead tags out to Russian War Machine for the cover. Ted Arcidi, enraged kicks ass but Machine, Malenko and Hercules Ayala put the boots to Arcidi as Dr D walks out, and to the rescue: GREG GAGNE!!! Gagne clears the ring, but seems perplexed and calls for Dr D, who has abandoned the Russians and headed to the dressing room!
