A profile airs on Russian Tag Team Champions Salman Hashimikov and Victor Zangiev.
Viewers are taken through their intense training regiments in the snowy vistas of Siberia. The two take part in barrel rolls and strength demonstrations all while the snow falls on and around them.
In translated sit-down interviews, Hashimikov and Zangiev explain that in the spirit of Glasnost and Perestroika, they want to come to Europe and face the very best of the tag. The Russians want to challenge for the European Championships and become ambassadors for peace between the East and West.
3- Eurosport Light Heavyweight Johnny Saint defeated American wrestler Paul Roma when he used the Lady of the Lake to roll Roma into a pinning combination.
Following the match, Max Crabtree announced that a challenger for Saint's title match at the Albert Hall will be announced in two weeks time on this program.

4- Norman Smiley defeated Mark "Rollerball" Rocco when Dave "Fit" Finlay cracked Rocco across the back of the head with his shillelagh behind the official's back.
As Smiley, Finally and David Taylor celebrated on the floor, Robbie Brookside made his way out to explain to the official what happened. Lord James Blears referred the trio as a "Band of Rogues" as they jumped Brookside as well.
While Smiley and Taylor held Brooskside for Finlay to whack with his shillelagh, "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith ran in with a steel chair to clear the ring. The Bulldog tended to Brookside while a groggy Rocco challenged Finlay to face him at the Albert Hall.
