Angle Developments/Notes:
1. Lord Alfred Hayes highlights the feud between Ron Bass and Junkyard Dog. Bass confronted Dog after a match recently. Bass would choke Dog with his whip on the entrance way. Bass says he thought Dog learned a lesson but he didn’t. Dog says that no one drags him around and get away with it. Dog is looking for Bass!
2. Andre the Giant comes down to ringside to confront Duggan after his match. Bobby Heenan is with Andre. Duggan looks to hit Andre with his 2×4 but misses and Andre drops down to the floor to get away from him.
3. Craig DeGeorge conducted an interview with Frenchy Martin and Dino Bravo. Frenchy in order to appreciate talent and class you have to have intelligence, which the American fans do not have. Bravo says that what Ken Patera accomplished was a long time ago and says that he is the strongest man in the WWF today!
Final Thoughts:
Not all that interesting this week, but at least the Duggan/Andre feud had some progression to it on this episode. Rude is quickly becoming a top heel act as well. An average episode this week for Superstars.
Thanks for reading.
