Originally Aired: January 4, 1986 from The Sundome in Tampa, Fla.

"WWF Shines In Florida" The show opens up with a couple skits on the beach in Florida, with the Hulkster showing Mean Gene how to make this high protein drink to get pumped for his title match. Then the Hillbillies are on life rafts in the water, and Piper & Jesse complain about it, which brings us to our video opener.

Vince opens up the show, and runs down the matches on the card, but before he can mention the last match, Ventura in wrestling gear appears to intro the match himself, the six-man tag match featuring Jesse himself. Jesse tells Vince this is very significant, because he is the first announcer in history who will get into the ring and back up what he says. Vince says he can't wait to not have to deal with Jesse, so Ventura says he took care of that by picking Bobby Heenan to join Vince.

So, Vince and Bobby Heenan are your hosts for this one. Mean Gene backstage with Piper & Orton on their upcoming six-man bout, and Piper gives his a-typical classic Hillbilly slam promo. Jesse shows up from the booth during it, and adds his words before we go back to Vince.

--Six Man Tag Match
RODDY PIPER, BOB ORTON & JESSE VENTURA vs. THE HILLBILLIES--
This is funny, because instead of Cousin Junior who was in it for the first couple SNMEs, its Cousin Luke who's in this match. Mean Gene interviews Hillbilly Jim, since he does their talking. Anyways, to the match...

Elmer and Ventura start, and Jesse starts in the eyes, then right hands in the corner to Elmer. He chokes Uncle, but Elmer stops that and hits a big right hand, then another and "The Body" is down. Elmer with a neck hang, then Ventura eats Jim's boot as Jim's tagged in. Side headlock by Hillbilly Jim, but Ventura sends him into the ropes, gets a knee in, and Piper tagged in.

Tremendous heat on Piper, as Jim tags Luke in. Piper holds his hand for a handshake, but as Luke grabs it he kicks Piper. Don't piss off the hot Scot, Luke, as Piper sends him into his own corner, then a tag to Orton and a double elbow on Luke. Two right casts to the head by Orton, then a tag to Piper, who chops Junior, then a judo thrust.

Kneelift by Roddy, then he spits on Jim and tags Orton. Kick to the gut of Luke, but Luke with a couple headbutts. Tag to Ventura, and Orton holds Luke so he can't get away. Stomp to the gut, a bodyslam and then Ventura walks all over Luke and tags to Piper, who slaps Luke in the face a couple times, and tags to Orton, who hits an elbow from the middle rope.

Piper tagged in, but Luke gets a bearhug and gets a tag to Jim, but Ventura had the ref distracted. So while Hebner gets Jim out, Orton in without a tag. Forearms to Luke's back, and Piper in, but Piper can't hold Luke, and the newlywed Elmer is in. Piper and Elmer exchange rights, until Elmer with a bearhug, so Piper breaks in the eyes, and all six men are in the ring.  More...
