JJ is back at the desk with the announcing team. He calls out the two newest members of the Four Horseman -- Ted Dibiase & Curt Hennig!!! Dillon says these two men are excellent single wrestlers & have won individual as well as tag titles over their respective careers. They are going to show what they can do right now against a very good tag team right now -- the Fantastics.
Match 3. Special 4 Man Tag Team Match by J.J. Dillon. Ted Dibiase & Curt Hennig defeated The Fantastics (Bobby Fulton & Tommy Rogers) when Hennig hit the Perfect Plex on Fulton for the pin. Bobby was softened up by Dibiase's brutal assault seconds earlier. (9:01). The Fantastics held their own in the opening minutes but Dibiase & Hennig's tag experience took over.
