Disc #1
Pipers Pit – Piper welcomes Big John Studd & King Kong Bundy, who issue a challenge to Andre the Giant and a partner of his choosing to a tag match. (4/19/86)
King Kong Bundy & Big John Studd vs. Ted Arcidi & Hillbilly Jim. (Ted Arcidi subs for the MIA Andre the Giant and The Heenan Family is upset that he no-showed; 4/26/86)
Andre the Giant is suspended by WWF President Jack Tunney for no-showing his match (6/14/86)
\Mean Gene Okerlund is on location in Japan looking to find Japan’s premiere tag team, The Machines! Okerlund is asking various people on the street where he can find them. He’s not having the best of luck. (6/23/86)
Footage from Japan, where Mean Gene Okerlund is on location with an interview with the “Japanese” tag team, the Giant & Super Machines. The Super Machine is actually Bill Eadie (Masked Superstar, Demolition Ax), and speaks English with a laughable imitation of a Japanese accent. The Giant Machine doesn’t speak much at all, but what little he says, makes it obvious as to who he really is. Heenan of course, is FURIOUS! He easily sees that the Giant Machine is of course Andre the Giant and vows to get to the bottom of the story. (7/7/86)
Bobby Heenan, who is still bragging about getting Andre the Giant suspended from the WWF. He easily sees that the Giant Machine is of course Andre the Giant and vows to get to the bottom of the story. (7/5/86)
The Heenan Family complains that the Giant Machine is really Andre the Giant. Vince McMahon claims that the Giant Machine could actually be Giant Baba from All Japan Pro Wrestling. We then cut to more footage of Mean Gene Okerlund on location in “ Japan ” with the Machines. The Machines look forward to fighting Studd & Bundy. Needless to say, Heenan, Studd & Bundy are extremely upset. (7/12/86)
Mean Gene Okerlund is on location in “Japan” with the Machines discussing their coming to the United States. Okerlund still talks to them as if they are actually Japanese wrestlers, but it seems to be a tongue in cheek sort of thing, as Okerlund hints that they both remind him of Masked Superstar and Andre the Giant. Heenan is of course, still upset that he seems to be the only one who knows who the Machines really are. And of course, Gorilla Monsoon is having lots of fun egging Heenan on. (7/14/86)
The Giant Machine vs. Tatsumi Fujinami (Japan 1986)
WWF President Jack Tunney is interviewed regarding Andre the Giant’s suspension. Apparently, Andre was suspended for failing to appear for several matches, and a hearing regarding the no-shows. Bobby Heenan comes in and complains about the Giant Machine, that is so obviously Andre the Giant, but Tunney proclaims that he has a Japanese passport, and could very well be Giant Baba, so no further investigation is necessary. Tunney tells that if Heenan can unmask the Giant Machine, then the Machine will be suspended for life. (7/26/86)
Captain Lou Albano & The Machines interview. (7/26/86)
Gorilla Monsoon shows off a Japanese magazine with the Machines on the cover. Heenan of course, is furious because he’s been trying to prove that one of the Machines is Andre the Giant. (7/28/86)
Mean Gene Okerlund interviews Bobby Heenan and his new wrestler from Korea, who is obviously a masked Big John Studd. Studd eventually takes the mask off during the interview though, as Heenan did this only to prove how silly it is that Andre the Giant comes out with a mask on as one of the Machines and nobody wants to acknowledge that it’s really him under the mask. (8/4/86)
The Super Machine & The Giant Machine vs. King Kong Bundy & Big John Studd. (8/15/86)
The Super Machine vs. Ivan MacDonald. (8/16/86)
The Heenan Family interview. (8/16/86)

The Machines & Captain Lou Albano vs. King Kong Bundy, Big John Studd & Bobby Heenan. (8/28/86)
"The Flowershop" with Captain Lou Albano and the Machines. Bobby Heenan comes out and attempts to reveal who they are. The Super Machine comes out, but Heenan can’t tell who he is. Then the Giant Machine is called upon, but the Giant Machine that comes out isn’t Andre! A confused Heenan turns around to speak with Adonis and Jimmy Hart and when he turns around, THE REAL GIANT MACHINE IS THERE! Heenan throws a fit and while he’s ranting with Hart and Adonis, the Big Machine returns. Heenan goes nuts! Hilarious stuff. (8/30/86)
Interview with George Steele & The Machines. (The Machines get a third member in The “Big” Machine, who was actually Blackjack Mulligan. Absolutely some of the most HILARIOUS promos here, as Mulligan doesn’t know a word of Japanese, and simply rattles off stuff like “Honda, Hi Honda, Scoshi Mitsubishi, Honda, Toyota, Chevrolet.” 9/6/86)
Disc #2
The Machines vs. Rick Hunter, JJ Jackson & Al Navarro. (9/13/86)
