just as popular and muscular as Hulk Hogan.)

8.            Flowershop – Heenan is being interviewed, but Orndorff comes back to the set to yell at Adonis.  Heenan interrupts Orndorff,
repeatedly calling him “Hulk Junior” and challenges him and Hogan to a match against Studd & Bundy.  Orndorff
promises to call Hulk Hogan right then and there.

9.            WWF President Jack Tunney chooses names for the 1986 King of the Ring Tournament.   Harley Race would go on to win the =
Tournament, but don’t look for it on PPV.  The KOTR tournament was an annual one night tournament held at either the

10.         British Bulldogs v. The Menace & Jack Kruger (During the match, we see Orndorff on the phone trying to catch up with

8.         Flowershop – Hogan & Orndorff show up Hogan tells Adonis that they’re ready for Studd & Bundy.  But Orndorff interrupts
Hogan and says that that match will take place in 2 weeks, because he’s signed a contract to face the Moondogs.  Orndorff
makes sure everyone knows that he’s intent on showing the world world what MR. WONDERFUL is all about.  All the while
Orndorff seems to be a lot more aggressive.

9.         Int – Bobby Heenan, who is still bragging about getting Andre the Giant suspended from the WWF.  Vince McMahon then cuts
to footage from “ Japan ”, where Gene Okerlund is on location with an interview with the “Japanese” tag team, the Super
Machine, and the “Giant” Machine.  The Super Machine is actually Bill (Masked Superstar, Demolition Ax) Eadie, and
speaks English with a terrible imitation of a Japanese accent.  The Giant Machine doesn’t speak much at all, but what little
he says, makes it obvious as to who he really is.  Heenan of course, is FURIOUS!  He easily sees that the Giant Machine is of
course Andre the Giant and vows to get to the bottom of the story.

in “ Japan ” with the Super and Giant Machines.  The Machines look forward to fighting Studd & Bundy.  Needless to say,
Heenan, Studd & Bundy are extremely upset.

5.            Hulk Hogan & Paul Orndorff v. The Moondogs (Orndorff still thinks he has something to prove here, as he refuses to
tag Hogan into the match.  Orndorff pretty much wins the match without ever letting Hogan get in the ring, and
ignores Hogan during the post match pose down as he courts the fans’ cheers.  Hogan, ever the good friend, doesn’t
show any signs of being offended.  Does this mean that everything is ok again between the two?  We’ll see…)

6.            Int – Harley Race, on his matches in the King of the Ring tournament.  Race would go on to actually win the tournament.

10.         take (see match #10), but assures Hogan that he’s ready for the match.

11.         Hulk Hogan & Paul Orndorff v. King Kong Bundy & Big John Studd (In the biggest shocker of the year, ORNDORFF
TURNS ON HOGAN AND REJOINS BOBBY HEENAN!  Orndorff obviously was upset about the missed phone call,
but was even more upset and JEALOUS that Hogan was more popular with the crowd.  That phone call was just the
last straw, and the opening that Heenan needed to encourage Orndorff to turn heel again and rejoin “The Brain’s”
Family.  Afterward, Orndorff celebrates with Heenan, Studd, Bundy and Adrian Adonis.)

12.         Int – Tito Santana

13.         Int – Ricky Steamboat

 7/26/86

1.            British Bulldogs v. Tiger Chung Lee & AJ Petruzzi

2.            Update – WWF President Jack Tunney is interviewed regarding Andre the Giant’s suspension.  Apparently, Andre was =
suspended” for failing to appear for several matches, and a hearing regarding the no-shows (This was obviously storyline
stuff, and not real).  Bobby Heenan comes in and complains about the Giant Machine, that is so obviously Andre the Giant,
but Tunney proclaims that he has a Japanese passport, and could very well be “Giant” Baba (from All Japan), so no further
investigation is necessary.   Tunney tells that if Heenan can unmask the Giant Machine, then the Machine will be suspended
for life.

isn’t Andre!  A confused Heenan turns around to confer with Adonis and Jimmy Hart and when he turns around, THE REAL
GIANT MACHINE IS THERE!   Heenan throws a fit and while he’s ranting with Hart and Adonis, the FAKE Giant Machine
returns.  Heenan goes nuts!
