This Prime Time redesign is a pretty transparent attempt at re-creating TNT, but crossed with The Bobby Heenan Show. I can deal with that. I'm not complaining, but man is "taking potshots at televangelists" one of the longest-running recurring gags in WWF history.

I prefer Gino and Bobby in the studio, but if they're going to do this type of format, Vince is about the best you can get for a host. He sets them up and the Brain hits them out. Lord Alfred has a cameo at the very end. This reminds me of TNT's "Advice to the Lovelorn" segment. Bobby did one of those in what had to be one of his first national WWF appearances back in 1984.

 

I wonder why they changed formats. Was it sagging ratings? A desire to showcase Heenan (among others) in more of an "entertainment"-type setting? Or did Gino ask off for health reasons, and Vince decided that as long as they needed a new host, they might as well try a different format too?

The ratings were sinking fast.
