Finally, Andre gets some well deserved payback against Orton & Orndorff. Embarrassed & pissed off, both men angrily leave the ring as Andre & the crowd laugh. Andre can't hardly stand from laughing so hard.
The Briscos were not very well received by the crowd in this match, despite being faces against heels. The crowd cheered for the Hart Foundation.
Note: Due to the crowd reaction, I think both teams should switch alignments. Harts to face, Briscos to heel.
Now, see Scott, you're screwing up plans for me. How am I supposed to keep you & Rick as faces when you cut a promo like this?
Now, I gotta turn the Steiner Brothers neutral cause the fans still like y'all.
Average back & forth, predictable finish!
Yeah, I vow to win the lottery in real life, the next time I buy a scratch off too. Doesn't mean it'll happen...
Piper makes his way to the ring, accompanied by a half slimed Bob Orton Jr. Jimmy Snuka comes out after.
Crowd chants "YOU GOT SLIMED!" *Clap clap clap* "YOU GOT SLIMED!" *Clap clap clap* "YOU GOT SLIMED!" *Clap clap clap*
Orton spends the match yelling back at the crowd & covering his ears.
The crowd's chants are enough to keep Piper unfocused which led to Snuka gaining an easy win.

I believe this guy, Matt Borna, is showing a little "RUTHLESS....AGGRESSION!" Sorry, needed to channel future John Cena there for a moment.
Back on track, that's exactly how Matt Borne performed in this match.
From the commentary booth to the ring, I'm pretty sure Ventura hasn't had a WWF match yet but he proved he could hang tonight.
That's an awful big shadow! Andre is definitely having too much fun with this feud.
Of course, it was!
As good as this match might've been, The Andre segment overpowered it. I doubt anyone was paying attention to this match after that.

FULLY LOADED BACKSTORY
So the two matches mentioned are the only ones with any real build so far. That's not to say that other matches won't be done. We'll just chalk it up to Hogan doing a TV show or something.
So, for now, I'll cruise the roster & fill spots.
Wait a tick! IC Champ vs WWF Champ? Where have I seen this before...
But that hasn't happened yet!
With the Briscos just turning heel, should be cannon fodder for Johnson & Atlas.
So on one side, you got Bret Hart & Jim Neidhart, well known for tag team wrestling. And on the other side, 2 singles guys with very little tag team experience. Brutus Beefcake & Greg Valentine. Bret & Jim are gonna run circles around these boys.
Many more will come to mind as I set the next event up...

It's the final show before KotR, Anything can happen!
For this show, I just let the auto booker do the work!
As you can imagine, The Steiners told The Killer Bees that they were toilet stains & needed toilet paper. That's what led to this match.
Placing one member in the Steiner recliner, Rick grabs the toilet paper & puts it in the mouths of both members of the Killer bees.
