Tenay, “Fans, I don’t know what is going on. We need to talk with Hacksaw. Maybe we can hear from him next week. It is our final show before the pay per view. Don’t miss it.”

Rhodes, “Are you going to go through with it? Are you going to wrestle this match?”
Duggan, “Old Hacksaw never backs down from a fight. I’ll wrestle with this clown as a partner, but Doink, listen to me. You better hold up your end of the bargain. I’m not coming to fool around, I’m coming to win, you better do the same! Tough guy!”
Rhodes, “I don’t know about this one.”
We go back to Marc Lowrance.
