Hayes was the color commentator for Bret Hart's win over Ric Flair at a house show in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan that earned him his first WWF Championship, which was released as a Coliseum Video home exclusive. Lord Alfred also appeared on many episodes of "Saturday Night's Main Event", often performing silly recorded acts with fellow WWF commentator/interviewer "Mean" Gene Okerlund. One skit involved Hayes and Okerlund (referred to as "Jim" by Hayes despite Okerlund protesting his name was "Gene") taking a safari through Africa, encountering many strange sights along the way (Akeem "The African Dream" and his manager Slick, Koko B. Ware and his parrot "Frankie", The Bushwhackers, and Jake "The Snake" Roberts and his pet python "Damien").
