MANNY FERNANDEZ + WAHOO MCDANIEL DEF. CHICKY STARR + BART SAWYER
The victors join Lance Russell after the win.
Manny: “You know Lance, its been a while since I had the pleasure of tagging with Wahoo here and while that was a tough tag team match, I feel it was just what I needed to keep my ring shape where it needs to be. Now as for YOU Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin, you say you don’t want me beating you and kissing Precious tomorrow night in Jacksonville because I have a greasy dirty mustache? Well how do you think I feel, Garvin? AFTER ALL I don’t know where PRECIOUS’ mouth has been!
Lance: “WHOA easy there Manny!
Wahoo: “That is a good point Manny Fernandez and frankly I do not know who has the tougher task in Jacksonville at Starrcade in Tour, me trying to beat Terry Taylor for the US Championship or you having to kiss Precious after you beat Jimmy Garvin!
WAIT! ITS JIMMY GARVIN AND HE IS SHOUTING AT BOTH MEN! THE REFS MUST HOLD HIM BACK AS WAHOO AND MANNY STEP UP TO HIM!
Lance: “Now come on Jimmy, you said some things that were out of line too!
The wrestlers keep shouting at each other but are slowly backed out of the studio by the referees!
Lance: “Ladies and gentlemen, someone has hit a sore spot here on World Wide oh boy, now COME ON JIMMY calm down, WE WILL BE RIGHT BACK!

“DUSTY RHODES!!! Everything you said last week is TRUE! I AM THE POISON, I AM THE DISEASE, I AM THE CURSE EXCEPT the poison, the disease and the curse will fall upon YOU AS LONG LIVE THE KING OF DARKNESS, LONG LIVE THE CHAMPION THAT SHALL LIVE FOREVER JERRY LAWLEEEEERRRRRRRRR!!!!!
Jerry: “Lance Russell what a disgraceful way for those two bums Manny Fernandez and Wahoo McDaniel to describe a pure clean as snow princess like Precious. They should have ashamed of themselves. Why if anyone spoke that way about my delicate flower Luna, I’d react the same way as Jimmy Garvin did!
Lance: “Well now hold on a second King what about the way YOU treated Baby Doll?
Jerry: “Baby Doll? She’s a depraved loose harlot!
Lance: “AW COME ON JERRY!
Luna lurches and snarls at Lance!
Lance: “And keep her away from me, Lawler, for crying out loud!
Jerry: “Aw come on Lance, I think she likes you hahaha!
During the rest of the interview, Luna touches Lance and pulls on and sniffs his suit and tie, much to his chagrin!
Jerry: “Lance you see this black crown? Luna here designed this for me and YES, this WILL be a reign of Darkness! And the first step in establishing this Evil Empire will be to rid the wrestling world of DUSTY RHODES! When all is said and done by the end of Starrcade on Tour, JERRY THE KING LAWLER will rule wrestling, with my beautiful Queen of Darkness Luna at my side!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!

Lance: “Good grief Jimmy CALM DOWN! Precious has involved herself in almost every match I have seen you in! And frankly, pal, your comments about Manny Fernandez and his mustache were uncalled for!
Jimmy: “DON’T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN LANCE RUSSELL!!!! MANNY FERNANDEZ, YOU INSULTED MY WOMAN PRECIOUS AND YOU WILL NEVER GET TO KISS HER TOMORROW NIGHT IN JACKSONVILLE! As for YOU Wahoo McDaniel after I get finished with that river rat I will deal with you and make you pay for your remarks next!
