Andre grabs his head and smashes his knee into Patera's face. Bobby Heenan is pacing back and forth Gorilla comments that The Brain looks worried. Andre is distracted by Heenan yelling at him.

Always great to see you working the 80s again man, that supermarket segment had me laughing! Very 1980s WWF of you, because I could see them doing something like that. And of course a no contest when Piper and Hogan square off, because that's the way it goes <img alt="
