The beginning of the show saw Jon Seymour and “Hotrod” Rodney Howard announcing the card for the night as usual. Wildside’s music starts and Wildside comes to the ring and starts talking about what a great day it is. He hands Jon a scripted card and makes him read it. Jon was reluctant to read it but Wildside kept roughing him up. It was a script talking about how great Wildside was and that today was his birthday. Ravishing Randy, Way Cool, Big Boy Bob, and a cameraman come to the ring with Birthday hats, balloons, gifts, etc.. They lit a small cake and Wildside was positioned between Hotrod and Jon making everyone sing Happy Birthday. The crowd was booing during the Birthday song.
Wildside then opened the gifts from his friends. Bob had a wrapped up half eaten Big Mac. Wildside’s response was confusion and the crowd laughed at Bob.Way Cool had a camera. Wildside was excited saying that he got a camera for his birthday. Way Cool responded, “ Not Quite, but that Wildside could be the 1st to take a picture with Way Cool on his new camera” This was even funnier and the crowd was into this. Bob then forced Jon to take the picture. Next was Randy. He gave Wildside the last present which ended up being an enormous Black Thong…( Wildside stretched it out and it was HUGE!!) The crowd was really into it at this point chanting “ Put it On”. Wildside obliged. And everyone started laughing.
Then Wildside turned his attention to Jon Seymour and Hotrod asking where was his gifts.Wildside assaulted Jon and took his tie and Bob took Hotrod’s wallet while Wildside got his money out of his pocket.This was an extremely funny bit and the crowd was into it. And it was very instrumental in setting up the finish in the Semi Main
