Joining Gordon is Jack Brisco with his brother Gerald. Jack is not happy with what Bob Roop & James J. Dillon did to their friend Danny Hodge last week.

This brings out Dillon. A smiling Dillon tells the Briscos there will be no match between Bob Roop & either one of the Briscos. Jack tells JJ he knows how to force him to.
