VTR: From The Legacy: JUNKYARD DOG + AUSTIN IDOL DEF. THE BUSHWHACKERS, 5:44. The Bushwhackers question the ref, claiming Luke had his foot on the ropes while pinned by JYD. At least it was short, and both teams shake hands then the Bushwhackers lick JYD and Austin’s foreheads as they try to get away..

Natural: “Chris Cruise, all of my planning has come together. They SAID, the Natural could not acquire the services of the NCAA World Champion, Dan Severn, and he would never succeed in professional wrestling. As you can see, I have!
“They said, the Natural could not give him an adequate tag team partner and as you can see, here is Stan Hansen.
“They SAID, the Natural your tag team of Stan Hansen and Dan Severn could not beat Gary Albright and Butch Redd for the Mid-South Tag Team championships at the Legacy, and thanks to my guidance, they did . . .
Stan: “HOLD on just a cotton picken’ minute, there, SKINNY!
“The last I checked, WE won these tag team championships NOT YOU, is that true!
Natural: “Please Mir. Hansen I didn’t mean to . . .
Severn just looks down as this all goes down.
Hansen: “Did I say you could talk yet, SKINNY?
Natural: “I . . . .er .. . . .I . . . ah . . . .
Hansen: “That’s what I thought, Mister Wimpy! So Chris Cruise let me tell your what is what! THAT guy did NOTHING! WE, ME AND SEVERN HERE, did all the work, and we get to say who what and where our next tag team title defenses, if ANY will take place! MAYBE it will be against you Albright and Reed. MAYBE it will be against Idol and JYD! MAYBE it will be against the Bushwhackers! MAYBE it will even be against Rob Van Dam and the Z-Man if they can prove it more! Why . . . .maybe it might be Larry Zybysko and Billy Jack?
