We begin this week’s show with a look back at the debut episode and their first matches with Tiffany being sent to Jabronie hell.
Trishelle talks about the loss of Tiffany and then they all talk about their injuries from the first night. We see Frank going down during the match and he talks about how Rodman hits hard. They talk about the results and have a nice discussion about why Team Beefcake lost and Erin suggests it was because they did not do the ‘moves of doom’ that they were taught. Butterbean talks about how Erin is shooting off her mouth a little too much. Todd says that the professionals thought their match was very good. Todd suggests that Erin will be the next one to go. Danny bets Erin that he will outlast her and puts out a $50,000 bet, but when Erin doesn’t accept, Danny says that she must be all talk.

Bischoff, Hogan, and Hart enter the room as they continue to bicker. After Erin starts to cry and Danny comments on Erin’s financial status, they are told to shut up. Hogan says the challenges are going to get tougher and the coaches are going to give them more. Hogan talks about the things that the wrestlers have to do and how they have to be fearless. They go to the warehouse.

When they enter, Knobbs tells them that they are going to have to do something that they never had to do before so it is gut check time. We see a scaffold with Brutus at the top. They are not happy to see their task. Frank says that he is agoraphobic, but we see a graphic showing that Frank’s fear of heights is really a fear of open or public places based on the definition of his self-diagnosis.

Brutus jumps into the crash pad. He sends his team up top while Knobs tries to intimidate them. Todd and Danny have no problem, but Trishelle is a bit hesitant and she says that she panicked a bit. We go to commercial.

We are back and Trishelle is still contemplating her jump and she finally does it. It is time for Team Nasty to jump and Frank’s ‘agoraphobia’ gets the best of him and we hear Knobbs say that is why they call Frank ‘the other brother’. Todd talks trash while Frank refuses to do it. Butterbean and Frank have some words as he returns to Earth.

They return to the ring where Eric talks to them from the ‘Mussolini Perch’. He asks Todd about the challenge and he says that it takes a lot of heart. Eric asks if he saw any heart in the other team and Todd says that he saw some heart. Eric asks Nikki what she learned and she can’t think of anything to say, and Dustin talks about Nikki’s lack of a response. Eric asks Frank about heart and Frank says that he didn’t come here to be a trapeze artist and how he is afraid of heights.

Eric says that you are not going to be judged on just one thing. The ‘moves of doom’ for this week are: 1) Head lock take down; 2) School Boy; and 3) Shoulder Tackle. We see the demonstrations from Brutus and Brian. Knobs says that they have just raised the bar.

We go to the Team Beefcake locker room and Brutus notices that Danny is not here. He asks the others what they think about the situation. Trishelle says that she is afraid that Danny could hurt them in the ring. We see Danny go to do his radio show. Todd is asked and he mocks Nikki by saying that he has nothing and then they all get a good laugh about the situation. We go to commercial.

We are back in the Team Beefcake training ring. We see them trying the head lock take down. We go to Team Nasty’s ring and Erin has some trouble. Erin says that her neck is hurting her and Knobs asks if she needs a medic.

They move to the school boy and Knobs says that it is one of the easiest moves and his team is having some trouble.

Now it is time to do the shoulder tackle.

Brutus sets up his team for their match and it will be Todd and Butterbean versus Trishelle and Danny. Todd comments on how difficult it will be because Danny is not there for the training.

Knobs goes through the match with his team.

We see Butterbean leave something in the ring for the ambiance and they evacuate the ring.

We see Rodman clothesline Knobs and Dennis is hurt and appears to have injured his shoulder. The medical staff suggests that he should be taken out of training for the day to be checked out.

Danny returns and starts talking trash. We see Danny learning the moves and he says that it helps when you don’t have too many concerns about your body.

Dennis returns to Team Nasty and he tells them that he strained his rotator cuff and Knobs asks him if he can do anything. Knobs says they are going to switch up the roles and Dennis is now the manager. Frank is a bit concerned about having to learn new stuff so close to the match.

Hogan enters Team Beefcake’s locker room and he tells them how to do thing and deal with the crowd and not let them dictate things.

Trishelle is concerned about the lack of preparation and she thinks Team Nasty will need to screw up. Dustin says that they expect to win, but if they lose, he has an idea of who will be going home. We go to commercial.

We are back and it is time for the first of two matches for this week. The judges emerge and Hogan welcomes everyone. Hogan talks about what they saw last week and he says that the contestants better keep it up this week.

The first match is from Team Beefcake: Trishelle Cannatella and Danny Bonaduce versus Todd Bridges and Butterbean. Bonaduce tries to take Butterbean down and fails and he tags in Trishelle. Butterbean refuses to fight a girl since he is the face in the match. Trishelle jumps on Butterbean’s back when he turns his back. The hat comes off and Bridges means business now. Trishelle kicks Butterbean and he falls over Bonaduce for the three count with a school boy.

After the match, Butterbean takes out his frustration and he presses Bonaduce onto ringside security.

We go to commercial.

We are back for Team Nasty’s match: Erin Murphy and Dustin Diamond versus Frank Stallone and Nikki Ziering with Dennis Rodman. Nikki has a bit of fun slamming Dusting’s head into the turnbuckle. Dennis tries to get involved and that allows Erin and Dustin to double team Frank. The ladies get in and after the hot tag, they take their time getting locked up. The referee does not see Erin hit Frank from behind because of Dennis’s distraction and Dustin gets the three count.

After the match, Rodman goes after the referee but Diamond hits Rodman before Rodman can hit the referee. We go to commercial.

We are back and Hogan says that both teams had good matches, but only one team is safe. The team that won was Team Beefcake. The judges address the members of Team Nasty and Nikki is the first to enter the firing line. Eric says that she has a lot in the looks department, but this is more than just about looks. Jimmy Hart talks to Dustin Diamond and he tells Dustin that he is definitely not a fan favorite. He thought Dustin was the team captain tonight. Hogan tells Dustin and Nikki that they are safe for this week.

Hogan tells Frank that he started out today as a manager, but with an injury to his team, he entered the ring at the eleventh hour and pulled this off. Hogan tells Erin that he saw a lot of promise in Erin, but he did not see any improvement this week. However, she cruised through the match and she is a fan favorite no matter how bad she tries to be. Hogan tells Dennis that this is not the NBA and when you are hurt, you perform in the ring. Hogan tells Rodman that he is a performer and everyone enjoys seeing him perform. Hogan says that Rodman did a great job of controlling things. Hogan says that the intangibles outweigh the injury. Hogan tells Frank that he did not see the Eye of the Tiger so he is the Jabronie of the Week, and it is time for the Walk of Shame . . . BROTHER.

Frank says that he did not think he lost this week. Frank says that most people his age are busy at home worrying about their prostate. Frank says that he is fifty-eight years old and he was doing things with people twenty years younger than him.

We go to credits.
