8. Brother Love show w/ Andre the Giant and Bobby Heenan - Heenan confirms that Andre is not afraid of snakes he just doesn’t like to be surprised.  To prove this he has hired a hypnotist to show that Andre fears no man, let alone a snake.  Love then says to prove it to everyone in the bag on the stage is a 15ft snake (which Andre immediately moves away from), Heenan says we don’t need to prove it you can take my word for it.  Love again tries to get them to prove it but Heenan has a quiet word in his ear, then Love says you have witnessed a miracle as Andre fears no man and no serpent.  Funny segment.
9. Akeem (w/ Slick) vs Randy Savage (w/ Elizabeth) - a few minutes into the match the Big Bossman comes to ringside.  Savage hits the flying elbow on Akeem then Bossman interferes and nails Savage with the nightstick for the DQ, but before he can go after him anymore Hulk Hogan runs in for the save and slams both Twin Towers who then retreat to the back.  Hogan’s music starts playing and he begins to pose whilst Savage looks on not happy.  Eventually after a bit of coaxing, the reluctant Savage poses with the Hulkster.
