Bubba beats him down after the bell, landing the Sidewalk Slam at the end. Apparently, when Bubba yanked Konnan down, that didn’t break the momentum, even though it obviously did. Bubba yanks him down and then punches Konnan in the face, which sends him careening into the forth corner and the win. Konnan gets back up and tags 3 corners as Bubba is caught in the strap. Konnan finally wakes up and gets the crowd going with a bit of a comeback, but that ends quickly again.

Tony talks about Starrcade and gushes over Roddy Piper’s big win over Hollywood Hogan as Glacier tosses Eaton around.
Glacier works in his usual “martial arts” offense to take the early control. Larry points out that Eaton struggles in singles competition, as he is a great tag partner and that sometimes makes you too reliant on your teammate. Glacier gets his usual laser and snow-filled entrance.
