Summary: Showcase match for Hussein.

Match 2: Bugsy McGraw versus Raul Castro

Summary: Showcase match for Irwin.

After the match, Lowrance interviews Irwin who's proud of his successful title defenses.

Rating: *

Summary: Showcase match for Kerry.

In a pre-recorded interview, Lowrance interviews Irwin again who will take on all comers. Next, Hussein and Bundy understand how important money is.

Match 5: The Spoiler versus King Kong Bundy (w/ Arman Hussein)

Highlights:

Rating: ½*

Summary: More heel character establishment for Bundy.

After the match, Bundy and Spoiler brawl in the ring until officials separate them.

Lowrance then interviews Spoiler who calls Bundy a "big, fat slob" and wants a rematch.

Conclusion: I suspect that there's more to the Bundy-Spoiler confrontation than just this match. On another note, I'm glad Kerry made mincemeat out of Gordman.

Thanks, Daisy. It was great sharing this episode with you. Don't be a stranger!

TV Rating: NONE
