Joe & Angle vs. Aces and 8s reprise the famous Dusty Rhodes & Ole Anderson vs. Assassins angle from NWA days?

For the 1/3 live TV show, the main event is a cage match with Joe & Angle vs. Aces and 8s. Whether it’s here or at some point, they need to do a cage match with Joe & Angle & Garett Bischoff & Wes Brisco as the face team and reprise the famous Dusty Rhodes & Ole Anderson vs. Assassins angle from Atlanta. The Assassins were feuding with Rhodes. Anderson had been a babyface for several months but never teamed with Rhodes because they had one of the great feuds of the era. I think they had one match, and then Anderson in a promo suggested a rematch in a cage, and the stips were that each side could pick a special ref because in the first match, the refs got destroyed. So Dusty & Ole picked the returning Gene Anderson while The Assassins picked Ivan Koloff (Anderson’s long-time tag team partner and when Anderson made his turn, it was to feud with Koloff). 
Anyway, unlike today where they would go a regular 20:00 main event and have the turn at the finish, on this one, as soon as the cage door locked, Ole & Gene turned on Dusty and The Assassins joined in, and then Koloff, who hesitated, not figuring out what was happening, also joined in). None of the faces could save since the heels inside would knock them off the fence for minutes every time one would climb. When they finally got in, Koloff started swinging a chain. It was one of the great angles in history and led to one of the greatest interviews ever on TV the next morning by Ole.
