Cornette is going to make sure that Yokozuna gets his shot at the WWF World Championship. McMahon brings up Crush’s challenge for a match against Yokozuna. Cornette points out that the last time someone challenged by Yoko, their career was over. “Do you remember Jim Duggan? Whatever happen to that guy? He lost to Yokozuna and went home like the scared little boy that he truly is. He clearly wasn’t tough enough to compete here in the World Wrestling Federation.
