They talk about huge show today, weightlifting challenge between WWF champ Dino Bravo and Superstar Billy Graham, King Tonga will battle his former partner SD Jones in the main event today.
 
Interviews on the show:
 
TONY GAREA and RICK MARTEL talk about facing Big John Studd and Buddy Landel at MSG on the 10th of February, they have been WWF champs for a while now and they are only going to keep going with the belts.
 
ROCKY JOHNSON talks about facing Arman Hussein at MSG, he is still mad about Hussein costing him the shot at the WWF title and at MSG he is going to show Hussein what happens when you stick your nose where it does not belong.
 
SKANDOR AKBAR is with Arman Hussein and Tenryu, he talks about how the master plan is coming together, Tenryu is going to take the WWF belt from Dino Bravo at MSG. Akbar assures the camera that Fuji and Saito are working hard to get back to title status and that Arman Hussein is going to have them battle ready in no time, Hussein talks about how Magic Dragon is going to keep climbing the ladder in the WWF and before long he will be going for gold as well.
 
DON MURACO and LOU ALBANO laugh about how Chavo Guerrero thinks he can come back from holding some Mickey Mouse title and think he can just take the IC belt from the Magnificent one, Muraco has gone over bigger guys on the way to a fight and at MSG he is going to end any speculation about Chavo being IC champ material.
 
CHAVO GUERRERO does not like how Don Muraco carries himself and what he stands for, this is a bad choice to represent the IC belt, he had months of being the World Jr Champ and he was a positive role model for kids, if Muraco thinks he is going to beat “Mexican Superman” he has another thing coming.
 
 
BOBBY HEENAN has Studd and Landel with him, he wants everyone to get a good look at the future WWF tag team champs, they are ready to defeat Garea and Martel and take their gold. Bobby promises that big things are happening for these two.
 
MATCHES from AG HALL:
 
CHAVO GUERRERO DEF. RENE GOULET
 
The number one Frenchmen has trouble with Mexican Superman from the beginning and it only gets worse, Chavo works him over and after hitting a big clothesline, he comes off the top rope with a frog splash for the win.
 
WEIGHTLIFTING CHALLENGE:
 
DINO BRAVO w/IVAN PUTSKI vs. SUPERSTAR BILLY GRAHAM w/ANGELO MOSCA
Bravo enters first with his spotter Putski, he waits the arrival of Graham, who comes out to “Jesus Christ Superstar”. Once inside the ring with his spotter Mosca, Superstar takes off his shirt and flexes for the crowd. He shakes hands with Bravo and they start, they go back and forth with each man bench pressing weights on the bench. Everytime Billy successfully lifts, he poses for the crowd and Mosca taunts Bravo and Putski. But then Bravo lifts even more weight on the next attempt with angers Mosca every time. Billy does not get shaken and responds by lifting that weight finally, After Bravo lifts a huge amount of weight, Billy is up and struggles with pressing it, Mosca has to help him and it gives Bravo the win in the contest. Billy knows he is beaten and shakes the hand of both Bravo and Putski. Mosca argues with the ref in charge and has to be pulled away by Billy. They leave the ring and Billy heads to the back. Mosca hangs around the ringside area and when Bravo celebrates his win, he attacks. He grabs one of the heavy plates and blasts Putski in the face with it. This busts him open and sends him out of the ring, then he attacks Bravo, smashing the plate into the small of his back. Bravo is writhing in pain on the mat, as Mosca continues his assault stomping on him again and again. Finally, Superstar hits the ring again and stops the assault, he pushes Mosca asking him what he is doing. Mosca shoves him back and leaves the ring to a chorus of boos, Graham checks on Bravo and then Putski.
 
ANGELO MOSCA is interviewed later, he talks about when he played Canadian Football all he ever heard about was about Dino Bravo and how strong he was, well he might be strong but he is not as tough or ruthless as Big Nasty Angelo Mosca. He hopes this teaches everyone in the WWF a lesson that nobody is safe from Big Nasty.
 
SUPERSTAR BILLY GRAHAM talks with Billy Red Lyons, he talks about the condition of Ivan Putski and Dino Bravo both have been taken to the hospital and are severely hurt, he does not understand why Mosca did this and he is going to get some answers, he tells the audience to pray for a speed recovery for both Bravo and Putski.
 
MATCHES from HAMBURG FIELDHOUSE:
 
MAGIC DRAGON w/ARMAN HUSSEIN DEF. STEVE TRAVIS
Arman has his big project in the Dragon and he looks impressive yet again this week. He wears down Travis with the martial arts and keeps him from ever getting any offense. After using a nerve hold to weaken him, he hits a thrust kick and gets the pin.
 
KING TONGA vs. SD JONES
 
These former partners have no love lost between them, they tear into each other from the beginning and this match is back and forth from the start. Jones uses speed to wear down Tonga and gets numerous two counts throughout the match, but Tonga is waiting for a mistake and after a missed charge by Jones he takes control. Jones is then worn down through the rest of the match and after  huge flying headbutt off the top rope, Tonga makes the cover and gets the win.
 
Vince and Bobby talk about how Angelo Mosca showed why they call him Big Nasty, Heenan laughs and talks about how a guy like that makes all the difference in the world. Vince wants to know what this does to the WWF title match at MSG between Bravo and Tenryu, Bobby talks about how they should give the match to Mosca and Vince is not liking that. Vince then talks about how they will have answers right here next week and then signs off.
 

Great show...Looking forward to Mosca tearing up the WWF...Great work!
