2. Kings Court w/ Jeff Jarrett: Jerry Lawler conducted a interview with the undefeated Jeff Jarrett (only had one match). Jarrett tells Lawler it is a honor to be standing next to true royalty. Jarrett talks about coming to the WWF to expand his popularity from the country music scene to the world of wrestling. Jarrett is highly regarded in the country world and soon enough he will be mentioned along with the greats in the WWF. Lawler brings up how Jarrett has already rubbed people the wrong way with his attitude, which Lawler likes. Jarrett doesn’t care about the other people. Jarrett doesn’t need to wait his turn to win anything, because right now is his time. Eventually, Jim Neidhart makes his way out to the ring to shut Jarrett up. Neidhart suggests that Jarrett quickly learns a lesson in respect. Jarrett asks who Neidhart is and tells him that “the enhancement talent isn’t allowed to speak.” Neidhart doesn’t take that kindly and decks Jarrett. Lawler leaves the ring while Neidhart hammers away on Jarrett in a corner. Lawler returns to the ring to whack Neidhart over the head with his crown.
