  The show starts off with Mene Gene talking about the Perfect subsitution.
Show Prime Time when Savage makes teh announcement and Perfect & Heenen laugh,
then show an interview with Perfect & Savage.  Again, no mention of the phone
call, in fact no given reason for why Perfect is doing this.

  First match: Jerry Saggs vs Beau Beverly (the skinny one)
Saggs goes after the Genius, Beau hits him from behind, Sags comes back with
a clothesline sold really well by Beau.  Saggs then chases the Genius back to 
the dressing room, the Genius would later come back out.  While getting back
into the ring, Jerry is again nailed.  Beau gets in a few more moves, including
a chicken wing suplex.  Jerry comes back, and pins Beau after an elbow drop
from the top rope on Beau's stomach.  After the match, Sags grabs the Genius
and gives him the Pit Stop into Saggs's armpit, then clotheslines him over the
top rope.

  Beserker, still managed by Fuji, wrestles.  Wins with a powerslam.  Clown
shown at ringside and Monsoon mentions how the clown has been following
wrestling challenge all over the country.  Remarks how Beserker usually doesn't
pin his opponent.  Brain is still upset about Perfect.

  Update: Brought to you by six WWF videos you will probably never buy.
Show the closing moments of Shawn's win over Bulldog, announce it will be
shown in its entirety on Survivor Series Showdown.  Also show Bret putting
Shango in the sharp shooter.  Interview with Michaels.

  Bob Backlund wrestles.  Really amazing how someone can do a lot of moves
and still seem boring.  A lot of amatuer moves (reversals and escapes, nothing
good like a throw or anything).  Does a firemen's carry (okay, that'S a throw)
and a chicken wing suplex.  Wins with an amateur move where you hook the guys
back leg and put in a three quarter nelson turning him over and pinning him.
It's the same move Barry Horowitz used inthe few matches he won in WCW
(except Barry would precede it by a thrust kick to make it look like the guy
should be pinned).  Before and after the match, Backlund shakes the guys
hand.
  During the match, Backlund gave an interview.  Heenen said afterwards that
the cut it short.  He said they left out the end where Backlund said "Thank
you for listening to me and I'm sorry for being so boring."
  Backlund was very uninspiring and I hope they don'T give him any belt.  He
shows how fair wrestling has come (more of a circus, but the moves they do 
execute are ten times better than those of Backlund's era).

  We get to see Undertaker's coffin.  Switch to Whippleman interview with
Kamala looking very nervous.

  Nailz wrestles.  Does a bodyslam and a clothesline beofre winning with a
choke to the throat.  Once again, because it's a jobber match, the ref only
lets the arm drop once.

  Survivor Series Update:  Brought to you by the SS program which proudly
displays The Ultimate Mainiacs and Ramon/Flair.  Mene Gene re-announces the
switch UW out/Perfect in.  New match: High Energy vs the Head Shrinkers.
  Interview with Ramon and Flair.  Flair very upset, great pissed off interview.

  Tatanka had the final match.  Monsoon announces Yokozuma will take on
Virgil.  As soons as he finishes that announcement, he states that Tatanka
is the only undefeated wrestler in the WWF (apparently he forgot about
Yokozuma).  Brain sticks to the "didn't happen on tv, so it didn't happen"
credo by saying so is Razor Ramon.  Monsoon agrees, adding "until Wednesday."
Tatanka wins with firemen's carry drop.

  Now announcement of next week's matches.  Heenen says that Ramon and Flair
assured him that Mr. Perfect will not make it to the ring Wednesday.


Comments: No mention of Bigelow, and I will say again that I don't see how
Backund can deserve a major push.  No gimick, no charisma, and no Virginia,
he can't wrestle a good match (by today's standards).
