          Over OPENING CREDITS, a montage of OLD WRESTLING-MAGAZINE

PHOTOS. Action shots of RANDY "THE RAM" ROBINSON taking on a

keffiyeh-wearing heel named THE AYATOLLAH before 20,000

screaming fans at Madison Square Garden.



          The sounds of a SCREAMING, CHEERING CROWD overwhelm us. Over

the images, RINGSIDE ANNOUNCERS boom commentary:



          ----"Oh, my! Ram hit with a devastating piledriver!"



          ----"I've never seen a guy get fired into a buckle that hard!"
