Bash '89 network edits vs VHS

[chazraps]

So, I love a good theme weekend and I was sitting down to watch my bootleg VHS of GAB 89 and there was a weird edit in the opening remarks right after Bob mentions the world title match.

Not wanting to miss a thing, I fired up the network version and the edit is there as well, following by the "presented in the most complete form available" disclaimer.

Can someone please point me in the right direction as to what's cut from the Network and the original VHS version of Bash '89?

I just watched the PPV version of it, they only cut off Ross and Caudle talking for another minute or so about the main event before pitching it to Gary Michael Capetta for the 2-ring battle royal.

Yeah, the Network version seems to use the home video edit up until right after Teddy Long says the Skyscrapers are going to split the money, then it blatantly jumps to the PPV version with all the interviews and entrances intact.

I believe on the WWE Classics On Demand version, they replaced the botched attempt at playing a taped Terry Funk promo with an ad for "The Danger Zone" video.  On the Network, the jump cut from the home video to the PPV eliminates it.
