October 29, 1988
From Fort Wayne, Indiana @ Allen County War Memorial Coliseum
Vince McMahon & Jesse The Body Ventura welcome viewers to the show, running down what is on tap for today ...
- Intercontinental champion The Ultimate Warrior
- Ravishing Rick Rude
- Brutus The Barber Beefcake
- Canadian Strongman Dino Bravo
- The Brother Love Show with Jake The Snake Roberts
- Bad News Brown
- The debut of The Rock N Roll Express
Jesse Ventura: "I don't know about this Rock N Roll Express tag team, McMahon. Seems to me like they need a haircut."
Vince McMahon: "They need a haircut?!? You're one to talk in that department, Jesse."
Jesse Ventura: "And just what is that supposed to mean? I'm not the one with the toupee on, HA!"
Vince McMahon: "Perhaps you should consider it then. The Hair Club For Men is just a phone call away."
Jesse Ventura: "Watch it, McMahon!"
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
1. Intercontinental champion The Ultimate Warrior defeats Alex Phillips in a non-title match @ 1:37 via pinfall after the Gorilla press and big splash combo. Warrior did not have much trouble with this one, but Ventura says that next time he meets The Honky Tonk Man and it's not a surprise like it was at Summerslam, he might be saying see ya later to that title of his. McMahon is not so sure about that one.

From the pages of the World Wrestling Federation magazine, here's Update ...
Gorilla Monsoon is in studio to talk about this weekend's edition of Saturday Night's Main Event, encouraging fans to check their local listings. Some big matches taking place, including World champion Macho Man Randy Savage defending against Dino Bravo, as well as The Hart Foundation challenging Demolition for the Tag Team Title. Right now though, comments from Don Muraco with his manager Mr. Fuji, ahead of their match with Hulk Hogan ...
Don Muraco: "Fuji-san, it feels soooo good to be back where it all started! The highest of highs, two time Intercontinental champion, actor extraordinaire, The Magnificant Muraco! And now, the chance of a lifetime when I beat Hulk Hogan and end Hulkamania once and for all. After that, people will know that I mean business."
Hulk Hogan: "Magnificent Muraco, I think you've been squeezing one too many pineapples, dude! At Saturday Night's Main Event, you're not taking on Hulk Hogan, you're taking on all of Hulkamania, brother! And when the 24 inch pythons get their hands around that scrawny neck of Master Fuji, it's going to be aloha, and whatcha gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild on you?!"
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
2. Ravishing Rick Rude defeats Todd Doyle @ 1:49 via pinfall after the Rude Awakening. A dominant performance out of Rude ahead of a big match with Jake The Snake Roberts coming up on Saturday Night's Main Event. Ventura thinks this is by design with Rude beating Roberts on a Saturday night and getting Cheryl all to himself, but McMahon thinks Rude could be the one in for a Rude Awakening if he ends up coming face to face with Damien.
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
3. Brutus The Barber Beefcake defeats Henry Lewis @ 1:53 with the Sleeper. After the match, Beefcake proceeds to cut some of Lewis' hair while he's out cold from the sleeper. McMahon wonders what Outlaw Ron Bass might look like with a haircut courtesy of The Barber? Ventura laughs off the idea because what's more likely is Beefcake getting branded and who knows, maybe Bass will show his proficiency with the shears.

Event Center with Sean Mooney
An excited Mooney tells the viewers that things might be cooling off outside but it's always hit in the World Wrestling Federation, specifically when it comes to Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff. He is standing by ...
Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff: "I've waited a long time to get back here to the WWF. Now that I'm here, you can expect nothing short of Wonderful when I get my hands on guys like Dino Bravo and Bad News Brown. And when I give them the piledriver, they'll know that I am Mr. Wonderful!"
Also, Hot Stuff International are looking to make their mark in the World Wrestling Federation. Eddie Gilbert & Terry Taylor are standing by with Missy Hyatt ...
Eddie Gilbert: "Everybody keeps asking me. They wanna know about Hot Stuff International. They wanna know about Hot Stuff Eddie Gilbert and The Technician Terry Taylor! They wanna know-"
Missy Hyatt: "What about me?"
Eddie Gilbert: "If anybody dare talk about you to me, then they'll be the one left laying on their back!"
Terry Taylor: "Now that, I like the sounds of!"
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
4. Canadian Strongman Dino Bravo (w/ Jimmy Hart) defeats Frank Wendell @ 1:45 via pinfall after the side suplex. Bravo looks good ahead of his big match for the WWF championship with Macho Man Randy Savage on Saturday Night's Main Event. Ventura belives that there is a good possibility that Bravo becomes champion, but McMahon disagrees, feeling that the Macho Man has never looked better as Ted DiBiase's bounty seems to have only brought out the best.
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
The Brother Love Show
This week, Brother Love welcomes his guest, Jake The Snake Roberts and Damien. Brother Love warns Brother Roberts to keep the snake in the bag and away from him. Roberts teases opening the bag but just laughs it off. He tells Love that he's saving Damien for Ravishing Rick Rude on Saturday Night's Main Event. He tells Rude that the clock is ticking for him and with each passing minute and every passing second, sand flows through the hour glass. No matter how long you stare at it, you can't turn back time, but the more you stare at it, the closer it gets to the inevitable and *snaps his fingers* time runs out. Brother Love defends Brother Rude, suggesting that he knows more about the universal language than Brother Roberts ever could - the language of love! Roberts laughs and then opens up the bag, pulling out Damien. Love runs for his life as Roberts warns Rude that this what awaits when time runs out, and after the three simple letters of DDT, Rude can't run or hide and the only snake he'll need to concern himself with is the one looking right at him - think about it!
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
5. Bad News Brown defeats Alan Fredrickson @ 1:53 via pinfall after the Ghetto Blaster. Brown doesn't give Fredrickson much of a chance in this one, not taking any chances in sending a message of his own to the Macho Man. McMahon suggests that Brown will be watching the World Title match very closely this weekend, but Ventura disagrees as it won't matter to him - World Title or not - Brown might beat you up just because he wants to!

The Survivor Series Report with Gorilla Monsoon
Monsoon welcomes viewers and pushes the date for the second annual Survivor Series as November 24 from the Richfield Coliseum in Richfield, Ohio. The concept will be matches with teams of four as they strive to survive. And they can announce the first match ...
Hulk Hogan, Macho Man Randy Savage, Bam Bam Bigelow, Superfly Jimmy Snuka
vs
Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase, Bad News Brown, Steve Williams, Terry Gordy
More matches will be announced in the weeks to come. He urges fans to call their local cable companies and demand that they get to see the Survivor Series, only on pay-per-view from the World Wrestling Federation!
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
6. The Rock N Roll Express defeat Lou Stevenson & Chris Camponelli @ 2:37 when Robert Gibson pinned Stevenson after the double dropkick. McMahon is impressed by Ricky & Robert, suggesting that Demolition may need to be on the lookout for these two. Ventura thinks that they are less rock n roll and more dead as disco, ha! McMahon thinks that he'll be eating those words before long.
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
The Event Center with Sean Mooney
Mooney welcomes viewers back to The Event Center, telling fans that when it comes to law and order, nobody knows how to make sure it is served quite like The Big Bossman. He is standing by with The Doctor of Style Slick ...
Slick: "Oh, the WWF wanted it, brutha! You asked for it! Somebody around here needs to be in charge of law and order and makin' sure that hard time is served, daddy!"
The Big Bossman: "That's right! I didn't come to the WWF to watch everybody break the law left and right! I came to make that law and order is served, and done so by any means necessary! If that means making sure that people like Hulk Hogan serve hard time, consider it done!"
For tag team wrestling in the World Wrestling Federation, there are not many that have the experience of Tito Santana & Rick Martel, Strike Force. Let's hear what they have to say ...
Tito Santana: "Aribba! Strike Force is back and that means Demolition will have to watch out! We didn't get this far to lose again, so make sure that the Tag Team Title belts are shined up real nice because they're coming back!"
Rick Martel: "Ax, Smash, Demolition. You put me on the shelf for the last 6 months. That's 6 months I've had to think about what I was going to do to you when this moment comes. Strike Force is back and we might just be better than ever!"
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
The voice of Lord Alfred Hayes: "Promotional consideration paid for by the following."
- Micro Machines! Collect them, trade them, race them! Micro Machines from Galoob - if it doesn't say Micro Machines, it's not the real thing!
- Bubble Bobble! All the arcde fun comes to the Nintendo Entertainment System! Bubble Bobble from Taito!
- New Fencing by Nerf Sports! Battle your friends to see who is the last man standing! Fencing by Nerf from Parker Brothers!

Jimmy Hart: "And don't worry, baby! We'll still let you visit the belt, but you'll just have to come to Quebec first, ahahahaha!"
Randy Savage is standing by with Elizabeth ...
Randy Savage: "Ohhhhhhhh yeah, Dino Bravo, Saturday Night's Main Event, get ready to meet the Madness! You wanna take that dirty money from Ted DiBiase, yeah, I don't think so! You want this title from me, then you'll have to beat me to do it, yeah! And I don't think you have what it takes because when you step in with the Macho Man, you're going to find out just what the Madness is all about! Dig it!"
