SIDE NOTE: All heel champions right now.

Vince McMahon is in the ring and announces that Brian Pillman tragically died yesterday. All the WWF superstars and referees are on the ramp with a picture of Pillman on the TitanTron. Oddly enough, Owen Hart is the first wrestler that gets a close-up shot. If you’ll notice, we are in the same building where Owen unfortunately descended from the ceiling and ultimately fell to his demise. Of course, Pillman was a member of the Hart Foundation, but you can see why that’s weird, right? Brian receives the ten-bell salute as everyone reflects on this great wrestler. But the show must go on.

Being the night before Halloween, Todd Pettengill does his best Dracula impression while describing what happened last week in the corniest way possible. If this is how they want to handle Halloween, then maybe they really shouldn’t bring back the Halloween Havoc PPV series. At least creepy Tony Schiavone inviting children into his home was funny.
