We begin this week’s show with a look back at last week when Rob Van Dam showed up and Danny Bonaduce got hurt. Danny got sent down Jabroni Lane for not being able to make it to the show.
We start off in the lounge and Dustin talks about issues between Dennis and Trishelle. We see the footage from the match. Trishelle talks about how Dennis got on her for not taking his abuse and she didn’t know that she was supposed to take it. Trishelle said that she was giving Dennis a receipt and she will do it again. Dennis says that Butterbean can’t hurt him either. Butterbean talks about how everyone was saying that Dennis was rough in the ring, but he says that if Dennis gets rough with him, he will give it back to Dennis.
Knobs and Brutus enter the lounge and Brutus is now a Blonde Barber. He says that he was doing it for team unity. Knobs says that they did a good job in the battle royale. Knobs says that Danny was not as hurt as he thought and he should have been in the match. Knobs says that it is time to move on. Knobs says that the judges have a surprise for them and it there is going to be a road trip.
They put on their new outfits and they look like they are going to be working in a construction site or a junkyard. While they get dressed Butterbean comments on the trash talking between Dustin and Todd. Todd says that it has been building and he finally had enough with Dustin and he gets in Dustin’s face and threatens him. Dustin walks away for a minute.
They get into the CCW Van and they are off on their road trip. They arrive at a junkyard and everyone wonders what is going to happen. Eric welcomes them and he says that they were so impressed with their performances in the battle royale, that they wanted to jack it up a notch. That is going to be with a hardcore match. Eric says that anything goes in those matches. He says that if you can find it, you can use it because foreign objects are allowed and encouraged. Eric says that they are going on a CCW Easter Egg hunt, and the eggs in this case are weapons. Eric lets them go weapon crazy.
Todd talks about the items they found and he is a little worried that someone might really get hurt. Knobs runs into a stop sign that is being held by Brutus. Knobs and Beefcake suggest they get some tension out by using the weapons on a car. They all talk about how it helped get out some aggression.
We are back at the lounge and as everyone is relaxing and talking about the junkyard with Todd suggesting that they should have had a junkyard brawl, Danny Bonaduce arrives from the Land of the Future Endeavors.
Danny talks about his injury and it was not as bad as he thought and he could still wrestle. Dustin wonders why Danny is still here and they tell him that he was eliminated. Danny says that the only way he can be eliminated is if ‘the Right Person’ tells him that he is a jabroni and to get out of his ring. They tell Danny that he was called a jabroni. Danny does not believe him. Danny puts a $20 bill on the couch and says that he will be back and dressed in a few to wrestle. Dustin is not too happy and he says that isn’t right. He is going to say something about this.
Danny enters the Trailer of Brother and wants to talk to Hogan. Danny wants to know what is happening and if he was told that he was a jabroni, he will leave right now. Hogan tells Danny that he saw him being taken out on a stretcher and he expected Danny to be back. Since Danny did not come back, he is a jabroni. Hogan says that he made a mistake interpreting the rules and he is ready to wrestle.
Dustin arrives and he wants to give his two cents. Danny was not happy that Dustin interrupted his conversation with Hogan. Hogan says that they have a sticky situation so he hopes it is important for Dustin to interrupt. Dustin says that he respects the business and he is busting his ass to earn Hogan’s respect. By not showing up, you are not showing respect for the business. Dustin says that he had a cracked rib and he was there. Danny says that he was there too and he calls Dustin a liar. Dustin and Danny argue in front of Hogan and Hogan stops it. He says that he had enough from the two of them and he suggests a Falls Count Anywhere Match between them. Dustin figures that Hogan was not happy with him, but he figures that Danny has convinced Hogan to let him back into the fold. Dustin does not mind the fact that he has to face Danny in a match. Dustin says that this match could escalate.
We are in the main arena and Hogan has everyone in there. Hogan welcomes everyone back and he says that it is time for Danny and Dustin to settle things on their own. Butterbean makes a ‘Saved by the Bell’ pun that went over as well as the College Years series. Eric talks about the hardcore match.
Hogan is ready to unveil the MOVES OF DOOM. The moves are hitting someone in the back, hitting someone in the gut, and hitting someone in the head. Knobs is the test dummy for this week. Hogan uses the chair for the back, a trash can for the head, and uses a cookie sheet for the gut shot. Everyone comments on how dangerous those looked. Hogan tells them to listen to their coaches because it is more important to make it look good without putting your opponent in the hospital.
We go to the training ring and Knobs says that someone is going to get injured if they are not careful. We see everyone taking a chair to the midsection and Knobs says that Brutus is taking it easy on them. We see them take chair shots to the back and Trishelle talks about how she got the wind knocked out of her. Trishelle goes to the medic. Dustin says that he does not think Trishelle is a wrestler.
The training continues with Trishelle returning to the ring. Knobs says that she was still a bit hesitant. Dennis says that he has no problem hitting her. We see them take stop sign shots. Danny comments that he was hit harder when he was seven than in the ring.
Brutus takes Danny and Dustin away to work on their match. Dustin says that Danny has a lot of bark. Dustin says that he knows Danny is strong, fast, and smart; but he is also angry. Danny says that he was trying to maintain composure while going through the match. Danny says that he is going to make sure that Dustin is not in an ambulance because he respects Brutus.
Back to the other ring and we see the rest of the celebrities getting ready for their match. Knobs shows them a spot where someone uses a chair on a trash can while someone is in it. Trishelle says that she is not going to do it. Todd mentions that Trishelle is the weak link at this point. Knobs says that they are doing the safest thing possible. Todd says that they were not happy with her.
We return to the preparation for the hardcore match. Danny says that they have gone everywhere but the bathroom. In the main ring, Dustin hits Danny with a trash can and Danny goes off on Dustin. Brutus tries to separate them.
Hogan enters the training room and he tells everyone that they are still around for a reason. Hogan tells them that they need to turn the dial up a bit this week for the judges. It is time for the special guest and it is Bill Goldberg. Goldberg talks about how he fought for his life in the ring and he was not going to be disappointed with his performance. Hogan wants Knobs to show the three moves and Danny volunteers. Goldberg asks Danny how well he can wield a trash can. Danny thinks that he can wield a trash can pretty well and Goldberg gets into the ring. Danny hits Goldberg with the trash can and Bill tells him to hit him in the forehead and to hit him like a man. Danny does it again. Butterbean gives Danny a slap to motivate him. Danny takes Bill down with the final one. Bill asks Danny if he ever took a power slam and he gives one to Danny. Danny says that he thought he was going to throw up after the move.
It is time for the matches.
The first match is the Hardcore Match with Todd Bridges and Butterbean against Dennis Rodman and Trishelle.
Butterbean and Bridges attack Trishelle and Rodman as the bell rings. Rodman is isolated during the early moments. Bridges accidentally hits Butterbean with a chair when Rodman moves.

He asks her if she was really hurt or playing it up for the match. She says it was a little bit of both. Hogan asks Danny and Dustin how they thought they did tonight.

The first is an arm drag. The second move is a chop. Hogan will teach them the third move and it is the body slam. Hogan talks about slamming Andre the Giant at Wrestlemania III when Andre weighed almost 700 pounds. It changed the face of wrestling because Andre passed the torch to Hulkamania. Hogan says that the slam is a basic move but it is also dangerous if you don’t slam them properly. Dustin says that they are trying not to be sloppy but with Hogan in the ring, they are probably going to look sloppy.

Now it is time to see the run through for the Triple Threat Match. Danny talks about how he wants to try to bleed in the match.
