7. Raymond Rougeau introduces WWF World Champion Bret Hart for an interview. Razor Ramon quickly breaks up the interview showing up on the big screen.

12. Sean Mooney hosts the Event Center. We hear from WWF Intercontinental Champion Shawn Michaels regarding his match against Bob Backlund on 1/29. Michaels respects Backlund but he is dreaming if he thinks he is going to win the title. Mr. Perfect talks about his match against Ric Flair. Perfect says that if Heenan is with Flair he is with a loser and isn’t as smart as he looks!

13. To close the show Jerry Lawler and Randy Savage argue on who will win the Royal Rumble.

Final Thoughts:
Aside from the good segment between Bret and Ramon, nothing much happened on this show. Considering the pay per view is a day there wasn’t any real developments angle wise and was a hard shill for the pay per view and future house show events.

Thanks for reading.
