Dusty looks around, the fans are pleading with Dusty not to do it, Dusty is looking hard at the money, he looks back at the fans, but then back at the money and
DUSTY TAKES THE MONEY!!!!!
Heenan throws his hands up in triumph, the crowd is booing, Gordon can’t believe it. Heenan turns his back to Dusty and then DUSTY HITS HEENAN IN THE BACK WITH THE BRIEFCASE!!!!!!
Heenan falls down to the mat!!! Dusty opens the briefcase up, tosses some of the money to the crowd and dumps the rest onto Heenan!!! Dusty isn’t joining the Heenan Family!!!!!
