A maniacalMalenko tells legendary announcer Bob Caudle that the fan favorites had tornhis clothes and broken his teeth (again!) which prompted Paul and Wahoo to rushthe set and run the villains off. Jones was the most incensed I ever saw him inthe segment, kicking and stomping at the helmets he had taken from the Mongolsscreaming, "COME AND GET IT!!!" Wahoo was nearly as crazed, holdingMalenko's torn clothes yelling, "YOU CAN RELACE CLOTHES, BUT YOU CAN'TREPLACE SKIN!!!"
