WWF Primetime
2/08/88
Toledo, OH


Hosted by: "Gorilla" Monsoon, Jesse "the Body" Ventura and Bobby "the Brain" Hennan


Monsoon: Greetings wrestling fans to WWF Primetime, 48hrs removed from Saturday Night Main event. With me as always "the Body" Jesse Ventura and...ahh.."the Brain" Bobby Hennan who doesn't seen to be with us at the moment.

Ventura: He stepped to the back for a second; he said he had something to take care of.

Monsoon: More important then hosting the show? Ok well anyway folks, Saturday at Market Square Arena things well didn't quite go the way Ted DiBiase had planned.

Ventura: You could say that the stuffing hit the fan.

Monsoon: That's one way of saying it. Strike Force held onto the WWF Tag Team titles.

Ventura: Yea with the cheating tactics of the "Flying Burrito" Tito Santana.

Monsoon: Ricky Steamboat came away with a victory so he will head to Wrestlemania 4 with a shot at the Intercontinental belt. The question is will it be against the Honky Tonk man or the Junk Yard Dog?

Ventura: No-brainer Monsoon, Honky Tonk will defend his title tonight and make quick work of the Dragon in Atlantic City.

Monsoon: Speaking of no-brainer were finally joined by Bobby Hennan,

Hennan: Sorry I'm late was finishing up some business back stage.

Monsoon: What kind of business?

Hennan: Well if you have to know, I have just completed negotiation to add another member to the Hennan family.

Ventura: Ok?

Hennan: I've offered my services as manger and he has accepted.

Monsoon: Ok? Who?

Hennan: The WWF Heavyweight Champion Andre the Giant.
Ventura: Haha the Brain strikes again.

Monsoon: Are you sure you want to stick your nose in right now? Considering the Giant has big issues with the Million Dollar Man?

Hennan: This is the best time to get involved; He needed guidance I offered my Services.

Monsoon: A well folk Bobby Hennan has added Andre the Giant to his gaggle of misfits lets just hope the Brain knows what he has gotten himself into. Tonight, Strike Force will be in action, the Hart Foundation, your boy brain Rick Rude and for the WWF Intercontinental title, JYD vs. the Honky Tonk Man.

Hennan: Tonight is shaping up to...

[The Music of the Million Dollar Man Hits]

Ventura: What ever you were about to say will have to wait Brian, The Million Dollar man is on his way to the ring and he don't look happy.

[in ring]

DiBiase: Andre, you big dumb piece of wasted flesh, I invested a lot of money in you and we had a deal. You were to hand that belt over to me once the match was over. Now I don't know if the Oxygen levels dropped by the time it got to your thick skull but you decided not to live up to our agreement!

[crowd starts to chant for the Giant]

DiBiase: Giant, you will soon learn it's bad, very bad to double cross the Million Dollar Man. You see, like I said last week, all good businessmen have back up plans and I being a good business man had a plan B. Deep down I knew you may try to pull something so I set that plan in motion. Next week on WWF Primetime, forget Hogan, forget Wrestlemania 4, next week you will defend that title, my title...

[Crowd starts to cheer]

DiBiase: Now, don't get ahead of me, Next week you will not be facing me for my title, you will be facing a long lost friend who can't wait to see you again. Everyone has a price, and everyone has to pay and you Giant will learn that the hard way next week!

Monsoon: Well Brain, since you being the Giant's new advice man, will Andre face this mystery man next week?

Hennan: I, well, I will talk it over with him and ah, will let you know something soon.

Monsoon: They don't call you the "Weasel" for nothing, when we return will get into some acton as Sika will face Lenny poffo and the Hart Foundation takes on the Rougeau Brothers.

backstage

Okurlund: Yes folk with me at this time is non other then the former WWF Champion and #1 Contender Hulk Hogan, Hulk last Saturday at Market Square Arena, when Andre the Giant pinned King Kong Bundy what was going through your mind?

Hogan: Well you know "Mean" Gean, when I saw Andre get that 3 count it was mixed emotions. You see I knew, that Ted Dibiase was planning on trying to buy the WWF title, I was hoping the Giant was going to do what is right and not hand t over, but then I was thinking, Atlantic City Wrestlemania 4 the biggest show in sports I would have to face the Giant once more to get back the belt. I respect the Giant but he's going down.

Okurlund: Speaking of the Giant, we understand he has hired the service of Bobby the Brain Hennan as his Manager once more and has confirmed that next week on Primetime he will put up the belt against Ted DiBiase unknown challenger, Your thoughts?

Hogan: I don't know what type of bull DiBiase is trying to pull but I put his butt on the mat and got the 3 count, as far as I'm concerned he's over with, Now the Giant can put the title up against whoever he wants but at Wrestlemania, whoever has the belt will have to face me an these 24 inch pythons.

Okurland: Thanks Hulk back to you Monsoon.

Monsoon: Well Hogan doesn't seem to have a problem with it.

Ventura: Did you notice how quickly he changed the subject of the interview form the Giant to himself, that man has an ego the size of Texas.
