Bob Caudle, back with his green jacket, opens the show with NWA representative Sandy Scott. Scott says the western regional of the tag team tournament is decided, and four teams remain in the eastern regional. The belts are on the announcing desk. The final four in the east are Ole & Hansen, The Briscos, Mosca & Killer Kahn and the Samoans. They will be held in Charlotte soon.


—Int. w/Caudle: Jack Brisco
Brisco and Caudle talk about Piper whipping Rich. Caudle promises a VTR of the situation next week (it took place 4/18/82 on Georgia Championship Wrestling). Roddy Piper comes out and is at maximum annoyance. He says he was walking through the Pittsburgh airport and found an Indian tchotchke for Brisco as a gift. If he didn’t want it, Piper would take it back. Piper says he’s proud of heritage and wears kilt. He asks why Brisco isn’t proud of his heritage because he doesn’t wear head feathers. Brisco brushes off the semi-racial insults, and wants a title shot. Piper says he’s willing to put it on the line, then walks off.

Match 1
Wahoo McDaniel & Don Muraco d. Bill White & Pretty Boy Fergie
A blue-clad Sonny Fargo is the referee. Great continuity from McDaniel & Muraco. Sandy Scott sticks around on commentary. Muraco finishes off White with the (tombstone) piledriver.

[Break]

—Int. w/Caudle: Wahoo McDaniel & Don Muraco
Muraco acknowledges his rulebreaking ways in the past, but says he’s given Wahoo his word to compete for the tag team championship. I can’t wait to see where this goes.
VIDEO TAPE - We then go to a VTR from that week’s World Wide Wrestling of Slaughter vs. Wahoo in an apparent non-U.S. title match. It picks up the final few minutes, with hot action. Muraco comes out to neutralize The Privates. Wahoo fights out of the Cobra. He pins Slaughter after a chop.

—Int. w/Bob Caudle: Keith Larson; Ron Ritchie
This may be in lieu of local promos. Ritchie talks about Wahoo’s win. Larson talks about his upcoming match versus Roddy Piper.

[Break]

—Int. w/Caudle: Terry Taylor
Caudle says Taylor has a chance to settle “this thing” with Kernodle next. Taylor says he’ll give it his all.

Match 2
Terry Taylor DDQ Pvt. Kernodle
Kernodle is wearing the Mid-Atlantic tag team title belt, although it’s not acknowledged. The two men spend most of the match brawling. Kernodle tosses away Fargo. When the referee attempts to get in between them, he just gets caught in the middle, literally. He calls for the bell, DDQ.

[Break] (the original bumper music bleeds through)

—Int. w/Caudle: Sgt. Slaughter; Ole Anderson; Angelo Mosca & Killer Kahn; Roddy Piper
Slaughter says Wahoo didn’t beat him, Wahoo & Muraco beat him. They will pay. Ole says the tag title means money. He says there can be no one else. Mosca jumps in, with Kahn in tow. Mosca talks about their chances, as Ole says do your best. Piper, in “Too Much Rod” shirt demonstrates how he strapped Rich. Piper has his kilt on.

[Break]

Match 3
Non- Mid-Atlantic championship: Roddy Piper [ch.] d. Keith Larson
Piper has his tartan trunks on. Tartan boots too. Piper wrestles aggressively and dominates. He finishes Larson with the sleeper.

—Int. w/Bob Caudle: Carl Fergie & Bill White & Jim Dalton
(Live studio interview where the local promo segment would normally be.
Pretty Boy talks smack and yells at the fans. He name drops Memphis, trash talks Wahoo & Muraco and complains about Muraco’s piledriver. Dalton agrees. Makes fun of people who give 110%. Dalton gives 100%. White talks abut Wahoo & Muraco and is a little more complimentary.

[Break]

—Int. w/Caudle: Jack Brisco
Brisco talks about scouting teams still remaining in the tag tournament.
VIDEO TAPE - We then go to a VTR of the Brisco Brothers vs. Steve Sybert & Mike Miller match from the 4/03/82 Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling. Back to a few more comments with Brisco,.
VIDEO TAPE - VTR of Ole & Hansen vs. Tony Anthony & Ron Ritchie.

Match 4
Angelo Mosca & Killer Kahn d. Ron Richie & Tony Anthony
Caudle keeps pushing the tape of Piper whipping Rich for next week. Kahn makes those guttural noises with every offensive move. Watch Mid-South 1982 for Bill Watts’ detailed explanation of why. Ole Anderson comes to ringside to scout. Anthony takes a beating. Mosca puts him out of his misery, pinning him after a swinging elbow the head.

—Int. w/Caudle: Jack Brisco; Don Muraco
Brisco has a brief word on the tournament, then says he’s coming after Piper. Muraco is out, wearing a flower lei shirt. He’s sticking by the Indian. He wants to win the tag tournament.

“So long for now!”
