Before the match, King Kong Bundy is backstage with his team mates, he tells “Mean” Gene that big trouble comes in big packages and he'll squash the little people. Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse Ventura are on commentary for this match, along with Bob Uecker Gorilla laughs before we cut to Hillbilly Jim, Little Beaver and the Haiti Kid, Jim says he's not worried because he can take what Bundy dishes out and he'll look out for his little buddies. He picks them up and walks off. Haiti Kid pulling on Jim's beard reminds me of any time one of my friends has a child but Jim no-sold it like a champ.The camera misses Hillbilly Jim's

Three decades on they still call Wrestlemania a spectacle, this is one of the matches that made it such. Not in a sense of fame or hype, but adding variety to the card. It wasn't a great match and it wasn't set out to be, but it killed some time and the guys got a pay day..– As a match, it's ½* but personally, I'd rate it 0/10
The Haiti Kid drags Beaver out of the way of the Splash and the midgets gang up on King Kong Bundy, it only takes one shot from Hillbilly Jim before Bundy decides to go to the back.
