Marlin says he should have fired Hot Stuff last week but Jerry Lawler & Brickhouse Brown begged him not to. Gilbert says he isn't fired because his family are stars and sell tickets. Marlin gets tired of Gilbert's mouth and fires him. He escorts the Gilberts & Lowe all the way to the parking lot where Marlin and Eddie start to fight. Jerry Lawler comes to make the save and Hot Stuff takes gets into a waiting car. As Lawler and Marlin walk away the car drives straight at them and hits Jerry who takes a painful-looking bump. The studio audience doesn't take the angle seriously and laughs at it while one person mockingly asks if Lawler is dead. It's a great-looking angle that the audience totally kills.
