The Perfect wrestler and he’s wrestling that snot nosed punk Brad Armstrong. That has been , who never was . We don’t care about past accolades , Gordon .

Heenan : It’s a conspiracy against this man , but ok . He’ll be there .So will I pal , to make sure it’s on the up and up . And one more thing ……,

Heenan: Break ? Break ? How dare you cut …..

Gordon : Welcome back . Before we get to tonight’s main event. We have these pre recorded comments from the IWA World Heavyweight Champion Dusty Rhodes as he boards a plane headed to Japan .
Dusty : It was just one second . One second and the World Heavyweight Title would have belonged to Rick Rude . One second and the land scape of professional wrestling would have been turned on it’s ear , baby . One second and all the fans would have gone home wondering what’s next . What is next for new World Heavyweight Champion .
Wondering is this the last we see of the American Dream Dusty Rhodes. Who will be the first man to get the next shot . But as you see baby , the Dream is still standing . Still talking the talk and walking the walk . Now Rick Rude can wiggle his hips and jiggle and dip and brag all he wants , but the job was not done . He can claim to be the uncrowned champ , but the job was not done .
He can stand over the Dream holding the Title , but the job was not done . He can walk into every arena in the country along with that no good Jimmy Hart and say whatever he wants to say , but the job was not , is not and never will be done . Now I gotta go to Japan and defend my title over there . Then when I win , I gotta return back to sweet home Chicago and take on Ted Dibasie next week live and in living color . Then July 3rd me and Lex Luger in an I Quit Match .
You see Rick Rude , this is the schedule of the World Heavyweight Champion . You eat , you breath , you sleep and you wrestle . You think you can do this . You want the fame , the glory , the money , daddy well come get it !!!
End footage !
Gordon : The American Dream , The World Heavyweight Champion. Dusty Rhodes. We’ll be back .
Break
Trevor Murdoch vs James Storm: This match never gets started . The two fight all the way down the aisle , in the ring out of the ring . Up the studio stairs , onto a catwalk where Storm Superkicks Murdoch off onto the time keepers table below . EMTs rush to Murdoch . There is an dead silence as the show fades to black .
End
