Vince McMahon oversees tonight’s panel, which has new guests.  Sergeant Slaughter joins Hillbilly Jim for the opening and Bobby Heenan sits by a chair with a white sheet on it.  After Jim plays “Blue Christmas” Heenan welcomes out a man who is dignified:  former AWA Champion Jerry Lawler.  Heenan takes the white sheet off to reveal a throne for Lawler to sit on.  Longtime wrestling fans knew Lawler for his feud with Andy Kaufman in Memphis in 1982.  Getting Lawler to work for the WWF was a coup since Memphis had been one of the few territories that held out against the WWF expansion during the 1980s.

Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan are commentators for this episode, which starts new tapings in Terre Haute, Indiana, site of the recent Saturday Night’s Main Event.  Heenan replaces Mr. Perfect as a commentator because of Perfect’s return to in-ring competition.  This episode was supposed to feature the Ultimate Warrior beating Papa Shango but that match was scrapped because of the Warrior’s firing.

Vince McMahon moderates this evening’s panel that is composed of Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Hillbilly Jim, Bobby Heenan, and Mr. Perfect.  McMahon confirms the rumors that the Ultimate Warrior will not appear at Survivor Series and announces that Randy Savage has been given 24 hours to name a new tag team partner.

Savage appears via satellite hookup from Sarasota, Florida.  Heenan jokes that Savage should choose President George H.W. Bush.  Savage says in a circumstance like this he has to take a chance and he wonders if the person he has in mind has the guts to be his partner.  He adds that he does not even like the guy he is thinking of and has never wrestled him but this person knows Ric Flair and Razor Ramon well.  When McMahon asks for the person, Savage says that his “perfect partner” would be Mr. Perfect.  Heenan laughs off the suggestion and Perfect does at first, but Savage argues that Perfect is one of the greats and he is dead serious about choosing him.  Duggan and Jim tell Savage to rethink what he is asking for.  The segment ends with Heenan and Perfect laughing at Savage’s idea.
