Bobby Heenan got slapped all over by his fiery ex-charge in toilet break battle before the blockbuster main event, but even this was more purpose-serving than much of the modern product.
Terry Taylor was doomed by his wretched Red Rooster persona, but for one night at least got a sense of redemption from the man to (storyline) shackle him with it.
Heenan, as always, took his lumps, but the poor f*cker was already nursing bruises from a reckless Ultimate Warrior throw just minutes earlier. 'The Brain', whenever he could, always gave more than just his mind to the cause.
