The day before this show, the Arsenio Hall Show played host to a WWF Tag Team title match between the Legion of Doom and the Nasty Boys.  Gene Okerlund, Jake Roberts, and Hall were commentators and Okerlund also served as ring announcer.  Here is a breakdown of that match:

Vince McMahon moderates tonight’s panel of Gorilla Monsoon, Roddy Piper, Bobby Heenan, and Mr. Perfect.

Monsoon argues that the Undertaker and Paul Bearer failed to take out Hulk Hogan on Superstars.  However, Perfect makes a good point that the Undertaker was unfazed by Savage’s chairshot, showing that nothing will stop the Dead Man from winning at Survivor Series.

The cheesy opening for the show that talked about Arsenio Hall and Oprah is gone.  Vince McMahon welcomes fans to a new format where he sits at the head of a table.  Gorilla Monsoon and Roddy Piper are to his right and Bobby Heenan and Mr. Perfect are to his left.

The participants debate Sid Justice’s injury.  Piper argues that Sid should show up to Survivor Series with his cast on, while Heenan and Perfect dismiss that because WWF President Jack Tunney will not allow for that to happen.  Monsoon adds that Tunney needs to make a decision about Randy Savage’s reinstatement so the Big Bossman and the Legion of Doom can plan strategy for their elimination match.

Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan are doing commentary, concluding the taping cycle in Huntington, West Virginia.  Heenan says that Randy Savage was denied reinstatement because he did not bribe WWF President Jack Tunney.  When Monsoon says he saw a weakening in Tunney’s position, Heenan adds that this just means Tunney is now open to being bribed with credit cards or frequent flyer miles.

Vince McMahon, Roddy Piper, and Randy Savage are on commentary, concluding the tapings from Wheeling, West Virginia.  McMahon announces that Savage’s second attempt at reinstatement failed.

Sean Mooney and Bobby Heenan are hosting tonight’s Halloween-themed edition.  Heenan criticizes Halloween as a commoner’s holiday.  Some kids “ring the doorbell” to the studio and are given candy by Mooney, showing off Hulk Hogan costumes.
