Angle Developments/Notes:
1.) Rick Rude shared some pre-tape comments during Warrior’s match. Rude says he showed Warrior he can dish out more than Warrior can take and that whenever Warrior wants him, he’ll be there.
2.) Bret Hart shared some pre-tape comments about Honkytonk Man. He dedicated his match to Honky saying the same thing was going to happen to him.
3.) Big Bossman handcuffed his opponent to the ropes and viciously beat him with his nightstick.
4.) Bobby Heenan and the Brooklyn Brawler shared some pre-tape comments about the Red Rooster. Heenan says Brawler is the most disgusting person ever and everyone will get to know him. They have a lot of plants for Rooster.
5.) Jimmy Hart cut a promo during the Rougeau Brothers match saying that everyone can listen to their theme song and it will be number one in no time.
6.) Brother Love has a special guest this week as it is none other than Jake Roberts. Love says that Andre the Giant doesn’t fear reptiles and doesn’t fear Jake Roberts. Roberts says that Love is hanging with a lot of snakes. Roberts says he isn’t slimy nor is his snake. Roberts grabs his bag and lets it out of the bag, which scares Love from the podium and Roberts warns that sooner or later you’ll get bit.
7.) Big John Studd cut a promo during DiBiase’s match saying that he can’t be bought and challenges DiBiase to a match.
Final Thoughts:
I like that every match had some kind of advancement or addressed a feud that’s going on. The squashes were enjoyable for what they were. Obviously nothing major occurred, but I thought it was a fine episode for advancement.
Thanks for reading.
