Jake Roberts tells the Ultimate Warrior that he needs to enter a dark room, where Lucifer awaits him in a coffin.  The Warrior goes inside, and Roberts locks the door behind him, turning the lights on to reveal snakes all over the floor.  The Warrior cautiously gets to the coffin and opens it.  When he does, Lucifer bites him in the face.  The Warrior begs Roberts to open the door as the snake’s poison takes effect, but Roberts refuses, laughing at how the Warrior is affected just like any common man.  Roberts welcomes a “man in black” to see his work, which is revealed to be the Undertaker, and Roberts tells the Warrior never to trust a snake as the Warrior loses consciousness.  Like all the segments to this point, Roberts knocked this one out of the park and his heel turn was shocking for many young fans that had only known him as a babyface.  According to Roberts, the Warrior was bitten several times by snakes when they filmed this segment because he did not shuffle his feet and kicked and antagonized the snakes he was working with.

Jamison hears a radio announcement in Bobby Heenan’s dressing room that six “deranged lunatics” have escaped from the Stanford Sanitarium and have escaped on a yellow bus.

Ware, the Bushwhackers, and Jamison show up, with the Bushwhackers bringing a long sub sandwich.

The Texas Tornado’s squash from Prime Time leads off the telecast.  The only twist is it has new commentary from the Superstars team and Piper talks of getting in another motorcycle accident, thereby scuttling future house show appearances against Irwin R. Schyster.

Irwin R. Schyster reminds Bobby Heenan that the makeup he needs for Prime Time is tax deductible.  Jamison wanders by and is scoulded, deciding not to enter “Dressing Room 3.”  He does go into “Dress Room 4” where he encounters Bret Hart, who tells him that he cannot talk to him because he is busy.  That makes Bret look like a prick, so he gives Jamison his shades to make up for it.

When Heenan makes his entrance he gets a loud applause, but that is because Jamison is behind him when he does so.  Heenan is hosting tonight’s show with Sean Mooney.  Mooney asks Heenan to take it easy on him because his sister is in the crowd.  Heenan immediately asks her if Mooney tried on their mother’s clothes a lot when he was young.
