Mid-Atlantic Championship Podcast Episode 33
Bob Caudle introduces the program, with the big Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight championship match, Jack Brisco vs. Paul Jones. Great action on standby to.
Caudle introduces the match via magic blue screen.
[Break]
-Int. w/Bob Caudle: Jack Brisco, Jerry Brisco, Wahoo McDaniel
Despite being in the ring a moment ago, Jack is back down at the announce desk. Jack says he’s ready. Jerry, making his first TV appearance in a few weeks, warns Jack he is getting back in the ring too soon. Jack was jumped in a parking lot recently by Jones and Greg Valentine. Jack isn’t concerned. Wahoo says he knows Jack can do it. This interview may have been in lieu of local promos.

Match 1:
Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Championship:
Paul Jones (w/Sir Oliver Humperdink) d. Jack Brisco to win championship
Stu Schwartz is the referee for the hour. Humperdink is back in a suit and tie. David Crockett joins Caudle at the booth. Caudle says doctors recommended Brisco take four weeks off, after getting jumped in the parking lot by Jones. Caudle notes the time limit is until the end of the program. Jack works on Jones’ legs for a while. Jones sneaks in an Indian Death Lock, but it doesn’t last long, and Brisco goes back to the leg. Greg Valentine comes to ringside, says something to Humperdink and leaves.
Humperdink joins Caudle & Crockett to complain about the officiating. Humperdink get son the apron, and Brisco chases him out of the ring. On his way out, Brisco slips on the floor and apparently hurts his knee. Back in the ring, Jones takes charge, as Brisco is definitely slowed down. Brisco whips Jones in the corner, but it appeared Jones hit a karate blow to Brisco as he charged in. Jones makes the cover, and we have a new champion!
[Break]
-Int. w/Bob Caudle: Kelly Kinski
In lieu of local promos. Typica in lieu interview. Kiniski talks about Brisco. He’s stumbling over his words, showing why he wasn’t a mainline guy.
[Break]
Match 2
Jos LeDuc (w/Sir Oliver Humperdink) d. Kelly Kiniski
Caudle is waxing poetic about the House of Humperdink: LeDuc, Jones, Leroy Brown, Greg Valentine. A battle of Canada in the ring: East vs. West. Kiniski puts up a fight, but LeDuc wins with the backbreaker (side suplex over the knee variety).
[Break]
-Int. w/Bob Caudle: Sir Oliver Humperdink, Paul Jones and Joe LeDuc
Handshakes for Jones. Praise from Humperdink. Jones said he wanted to bring the title out of the closet. More insults for Brisco. LeDuc is one scary looking and sounding dude. He is paid to be a winner, and that is exactly what he is, says LeDuc. Veiled threats from Jimmy Valiant.
[Break]
-Int. w/Caudle: Sir Oliver Humperdink and Greg Valentine
Humperdink says money is the root of all evil. I guess the point is, that doesn’t bother him. Humperdink says Abdullah the Butcher will soon be here. We go to a clip of Abdullah’s match vs. Ron Ritchie from World Wide last year. Humperdink offered him $5,000 to do a job to take care of Wahoo McDaniels [sic]. Valentine says Abdullah will soften Wahoo up for him.
Match 3:
Greg Valentine (w/Sir Oliver Humperdink) d. Mike Rotundo
To think, three years in the future, Valentine would beat Rotundo for the WWF tag team championship. This match was mostly Valentine, although Rotundo had his moments. Valentine wins with two elbow drops.
-Int. w/Caudle: Sir Oliver Humperdink
This is in lieu of local interviews. Mainly threats for Jimmy Valiant.
[Break]
Match 4
Wahoo McDaniel & Roddy Piper d. The Gladiator & The Medic
“What a team that will be” Caudle said of Wahoo & Piper. Wearing his green and yellow checkered tights, Piper has a big bruise on the back of his thigh. Piper throws Gladiator right into a Wahoo chop. Caudle keeps calling Piper a wildman. Wahoo pins Gladiator after a chop.
-Int. w/Caudle: Jerry Brisco; Wahoo McDaniel; Roddy Piper
Jerry says his brother will make no excuses. Of course, Jerry is making a bunch of excuses, like Jack had an injured knee and Humperdink’s interference. Caudle asks Wahoo about Abdullah. Wahoo acknowledges Abdullah hurting him last year. But this time he will be ready. Piper goes a mile minute on Paul Jones and Humperdink.
“So long for now!”
