We return to Frank Gresham who introduces Lance Catamaran who insisted on a live performance. He is dressed in Ivy League style in homage to his alma matter, Cornell University. He proceeds to deliver a terribly slow, monotone rendition of "Come Sail Away" by Styx (think William Shatner's version of "Rocket Man" but much worse). The audience reacts with a mix of laughter and boos until Wolfie Brown storms the stage and swats the microphone away, drawing cheers from the crowd. Catamaran stands up and slaps Wolfie who responds by picking Lance up and giving him the longest airplane spin in wrestling history. As soon as the move starts, MTV plays a demo of "You Spin Me Round" by Dead or Alive, drawing laughter and cheers from the audience as they slowly get the joke (they have of course never heard the song before, which has never been played before on MTV and wont be formally released until later that year). Brown begins to get dizzy from the spinning and staggers off the stage (all the while with Lance Catamaran still on his shoulders) before comically crashing into some boxes.

After a commercial, we're back with Frank Gresham who says he takes great pleasure in introducing one of the greatest bands in the world: AC/DC. Out comes two guys who are wearing AC/DC t-shirts, but it's clear neither of them are among the five members of the band in question. The audience is confused. Gresham wants to know who they are because they clearly aren't AC/DC. Where's Angus? "I am Angus, mate" says the first guy. "Angus Clarke. This is my brother, Duncan Clarke. We are AC-DC, the greatest two-man AC/DC cover band in Australia!" They at least do legitimately sound Australian. Gresham is beside himself. He tells them they better be as good as the real deal because there is a national audience watching that expected to see and hear Angus Young, not Angus Clarke. The audience is restless, scattered boos and insults being hurled. Angus and Duncan take their places - the former on guitar and vocals, the latter on drums. They start into "Hell's Bells" and they're either really good, or really good at faking it. The crowd starts to get into it when suddenly the sound cuts off and Jake Blackheart storms on stage. Frank Gresham wants to know what Blackheart is doing here. "I'm here to defend America against another cultural invasion!" He badmouths AC/DC, Judas Priest, The Beatles, and "every other limey band." He declares country music is the only music "by real Americans, for real Americans." The crowd boos Blackheart mercilessly. Angus asks "What's your problem, mate?" and Blackheart responds by punching him in the face! Blackheart grabs Angus' electric guitar and smashes it on the stage, then hurls the neck like a javelin at Duncan, who ducks behind his drum kit then comes out swinging! Security arrives to break up the fight. They drag Jake Blackheart off the stage, shouting and cursing (bleeped out), while Duncan checks on his brother who has a bloody nose from the punch. It looks like not only have we been denied AC/DC, but AC-DC's performance has been cut short as well. Frank Gresham apologizes to the crowd, some of whom chant "Angus!" The Clarke brothers wave to the crowd in thanks as we go to a final commercial.

Main Event (MTV & MSG Network)

Randy Robinson defeated Stan Trump by disqualification in 0:11:28.
Rating: **
(Randy Robinson retained the WCWF World Heavyweight Title.)
[Joachim Farkas interfered against Randy Robinson.]

Robinson seemed to have the match well in hand when Joachim Farkas hit the ring and blindsided the champ. "The Hungarian Wolfman" unleashed a wild fury of strikes and clawed at Robinson's face while Stan Trump looked on and laughed maniacially. However, help was soon on the way in the form of...Sol Salmanca?! The feisty young Mexican wrestler sprinted to the ring and dropkicked Farkas, knocking him off Robinson and sending him tumbling out of the ring under the bottom rope. But now it was Salmanca who got blindsided as Trump connected with the Million Dollar Knee. But Million Dollar Stan saw Randy Robinson was getting back to his feet and The Jolly Green Giant was on his way to the ring so he wisely bailed as the show ended with Farkas snarling, Trump scowling, and Robinson and Salmanca sharing a handshake in the ring.
