WWE Network feed. [How to watch this show on the WWE Network.]
WWE Network Direct Link to this show: Mid-Atlantic 7/17/82
Bob Caudle opens the show and is joined by Jack Brisco. A very low key Jack talks about losing to Piper last week. We see a brief clip of Piper nailing Brisco with a roll of coins from last week. Jack isn’t sure what Piper had but vows to get his belt back.

Match 1:
Jake Roberts & Jimmy Valiant d. Jim Dalton & Juan Reynoso
The WWE Network edit of Valiant’s music plays. As he’s dancing around ringside, Roberts is already starting the match. The blue-romper wearing Sonny Fargo is the referee for the hour. It’s tag team day on MACW. Valiant wrestling more aggressive than normal. He finishes Reynoso with the elbow drop.
[Break]
Match 2:
Non-Title Match: Pvt. Jim Nelson & Pvt. Don Kernodle [Mid-A Tag Champs] d. Mike Davis & Porkchop Cash
Still no mention of when The Privates regained the Mid-Atlantic tag championship. The Privates are wearing matching singlet instead of the camouflage pants/black shirt garb. Kernodle finished off a groggy Davis with the clothelsine off the middle rope.
-Int. w/Caudle: Nelson & Kernodle
A lot of smack talk from The Privates. They say they want to go after the world tag team title. At least someone wants to go after it.
[Break]
Match 3:
Sgt. Slaughter & Matt Borne & Ivan Koloff (w/Sir Oliver Humperdink) d. Ron Ritchie & King Parsons & Abe Jacobs
Some good back and forth, with Parsons looking strong. Jacobs does a lot of wrestling. He gets a small package for a two on Slaughter. Sarge returns with a clothesline and gets the pin.
[Break]
-Int. w/Caudle: Sgt. Slaughter; Koloff and Humperdink
Slaughter wants Wahoo in any match, including a Indian strap match. Slaughter admits he is so beat up, even the barracks, his wife, his gardener and his dog don’t recognize him. Pardon the pun, but it’s going to be a slaughter when he faces Wahoo. Ivan has boxing head gear, a shovel, and still the TV title belt. Koloff is incomprehensible. Lots of talk about Jimmy Valiant. Humperdink says Piper and Muraco are ready for the Brisco Brothers.
Caudle introduces the next match via blue screen. From Texas, The Monk?
[Break]
Match 4
Ricky Steamboat & Jay Youngblood d. Bill White & The Monk
Humperdink sticks on commentator. Caudle asks why he was in the corner in the last match. Strength in numbers. Commentary revolves around Piper vs. Brisco. Steamboat pins The Monk after a Samoan drop.
-Int. w/Caudle: David Patterson & Ben Alexander
This is in lieu of a local promo. Patterson says Alexander tells him Wahoo chops like a butterfly. Caudle has his doubts. Alexander can handle Wahoo. Patterson is confident in his team.
[Break]
-Int. w/Caudle: Jack Brisco, Ricky Steamboat
Brisco talks about Piper. We go to a VTR from World Wide of Piper & Muraco vs. Keith Larson & Abe Jacobs. Brisco narrates the clip. Steamboat chimes in on Piper, and says both Briscos will be going after him. They play another VTR (with no sound) from World Wide of David Crockett talking with Slaugther, Mosca and Piper. Piper has dollar bills pinned all over his short. For some reason he pours champagne into a trash can.
Match 5:
Wahoo McDaniel & Jack Brisco d. David Patterson & Ben Alexander
Caudle references Patterson and Alexander’s remarks from before, so maybe those weren’t in lieu of local proms. Of course we see lots of Wahoo chops. A cool finishing sequence sees a Wahoo chop knock Alexander down, prone to a Brisco figure four for the submission.
-Int. w/Caudle: McDaniel & Brisco
Brisco says his brother Jerry is ready to come back. Watch out Piper and Muraco. Wahoo doesn’t have much sympathy for Slaughter. He wants the United States championship back.
“So long for now!”
