But right now Lance Russell is joined by World Wide Wrestling President OLE ANDERSON!

Ole Anderson joins Lance and is not happy. What does he have in his hand?
Ole informs Lance World Wide Wrestling uses special high-quality video tape when they record their pay per views, so they change tapes for every match. He is holding the tape of the Hair versus Hair match between Jimmy Garvin and Manny Fernandez from Clash of the Champions, but holds it up to show that all the tape was pulled out, and its ruined!
Lance: “Well, we all know what happened Ole. Jimmy Garvin came out here last week CROWING you would never show that tape here on TBS and that’s exactly what happened!
Ole: “Lance, as the saying goes if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, its a duck. But unfortunately, I don’t have ANY proof Jimmy Garvin did this. But this does constitute vandalism of WWW property and trust you me, and investigation is already underway, and I promise each one of these fans here and the fans at home, I give my word you WILL see Jimmy Garvin get his head shaved from the Clash!

DICK MURDOCH + BRET HART w/Gary Hart v BOB HOLLY + AL MADRIL Bret is the workhorse who impresses with his fast-paced style as Murdoch is brought in for short stints to beat down on the jobbers.
Gary: “OOOOOOOL, David Crockett and Bob Caudle, look at my latest find! From the wilds of Northwest Canada, the bowels of the Hart Dungeon, is a young man that has turned heads not only there, but in Japan and any other parts of the world and now I am the first to bring him to World Wide Wrestling, to a national cable audience, the Excellence of Execution, Bret “The Hit Man” Hart, and with Dick Murdoch, it won’t be long before this new and IMPROVED combination will once again be in the world tag team championship conversation!
Bob: “I have to hand it to you Gary Hart, this young man looks very impressive!

Pretape from a bar. A bunch of thugs walk in and go up to the bar. Apparently, there is someone in a leather vest who is sitting in one of "their" seats.
We don’t see who it is, but one of the thugs goes up to him, pokes him in the back and says, “Hey, you idiot. That’s MY bar seat!
