“Mean” Gene Okerlund welcomes Ted DiBiase and J.J. Dillon in the Interview area.

Dillon mentions that it’s time for the WWF to crown a new World Champion, a man that has dignity and skills. A man that will lead not just Dillon Enterprises, but also the WWF into bigger and better things. It’s time for Ted DiBiase to become the Man.

DiBiase says that on November 14th at Madison Square Garden Hogan’s reign has WWF champion will come to an end. DiBiase says that he’s beaten Hogan so many times, yet he always finds a way around it to keep the title, but this time it’s all over for the Chump. It’s time for a real man to emerge and hold the title, and that man is right here.

DiBiase reminds Hogan that the last time they were in New York, he left on a stretcher and this time he’ll be leaving without the gold, cause the Gold will be around the waist of the best wrestler in the world. Ted DiBiase.

Kendo Nagasaki (With J.J. Dillon) defeats Steve King with an Oriental Nerve Hold.

Following the match, Nagasaki refused to release the hold, but out of nowhere came Tito Santana. Santana was wearing an eye patch, but it didn’t stop him for doing a number on Nagasaki, before chasing him from the ring all the way to the back.

“Mean” Gene is at ringside trying to get a word with Santana.

Santana says that Nagasaki tried to blind him, and put him out of business. Santana says that now it’s personal and he doesn’t care what he has to do to get his hands on Nagasaki but he wants him in the ring title or not. It’s time to get revenge.

“Mean” Gene Okerlund welcomes the WWF World Champion Hulk Hogan to the Interview area.

Hogan says that he’s been listening to DiBiase and Dillon say how his time is up. It’s time for a new World Champion. Well Brother, this champion is not going anywhere. Hogan says that he remember how he was stretchered out of MSG last month, and that’s fine cause it took several guys to do the damage, but he’s still standing and with the support of all the little Hulk-a-Maniacs and big guy upstairs he’ll be coming out with the Title still around his waist. Cause what you gonna do when Hulk-a-Mania runs wild on you.

Welcome to the Body Shop, with your host Jesse “The Body” Ventura.

Ventura welcomes his guest, the WWF Tag Team Champions the Fantastics.

Ventura asks the Fantastics how it feels to have become the hunted in the WWF.

Fulton says that they don’t feel hunted at all, since winning the titles, cause they are fighting champions and are not afraid to defend the title against the top teams.

Ventura says that he’s yet to see them defend the title against the Ravishing Bodies.

Rogers says that if the Bodies want a title shot, they just have to put their name on the dotted line and they will be more than happy to defend the titles against them.

Ventura says that it’s all fine and well, till it comes time to put their names on the contract.

Fulton says that they’ve never ducked anybody and don’t intend to start now.

At this time, Sherri Martel comes out from the back

Martel says that her men should be the tag team champions and it makes her sick to see these 2 wanna be pretty boys holding the gold. She says that if the Fantastics would have the guts they would put the titles on the line next week right here on Championship Wrestling.

Fulton says that if she wants a title shot for her men, then it’s on for next week. He then tells Sherri to go make sure that her men are ready for this, and they are not too distracted with looking at themselves in the mirror.

Martel just looks at Fulton and grins, when out of nowhere the Ravishing Bodies come charging from behind and we have a wild brawl on the set of the Body Shop. Several wrestlers and officials come out to separate both teams.

“Mean” Gene Okerlund is with Steve Casey at the Interview area.

Casey says that it’s great to be in the United States and he really appreciates all the support that the fans have given him upon his arrival. He continues to say that he is in the WWF for one reason and that is to prove that he is the best professional wrestler in the world, and for him to prove that he must win either the Intercontinental Title or WWF World title. He says that he’s more than ready to prove to the great people of the USA that he is the best.

Great show here Snipe! Rocky Johnson vs. Jeff Sword is a fun match, I loved Bravo vs. Herc, and the tie-in with Tito vs. Nagasaki. Outstanding, fiery promo from Tito, the fans would have been lapping that up. Tito and Dino vs. Herc and Kendo, the Jap Assassins, or anyone from Dillon Enterprises is now a bonafide main event in all your B buildings. Bravo as a babyface is growing on me, but when all is said and done if Tito is still holding the IC strap, he better keep both eyes on his new buddy.

The Bodies vs. the Battens would have rocked the house, great TV match. Sherri came out and proved to everyone that Rogers and Fulton are as dumb as they look; so easily convincing them to put the titles on the line against the Ravishing Bodies next week. I have a feeling that the Fantastics will cheat in order to keep their titles next week, but that one match will be all that the sensational strategist at ringside needs to put together the winning formula for her boys.

Really enjoyed the entire feel of this show. Sword, Santana, and the Battens are top of the food chain TV guys, so it feels like a best-of-the-best feel that the WWF had in the late 80's, even when the wrestling wasn't great. I would love to see Rocky Johnson pick up a tag partner and go to war with the Japanese Assassins, your tag division is starting to come together, which I love to see.

Once Teddy takes the WWF title, I would love to see him and Herc take the tag titles as well. Dillon Enterprises is coming for all the gold! Good stuff here bud.

Good show. Really liked the promos by DiBiase and Hogan. Can't wait to see Ted win the belt on November 14th. The Body Shop segment was a lot of fun and am really enjoying the Santana/Nagasaki feud.
