-Int. w/Caudle: Jack Brisco & Ricky Steamboat
Brisco and the returning Steamboat speak with Caudle to open the show. Brisco says it is good to have Steamboat back from Japan. To help catch him up, we go to the video from two weeks ago, where Piper hurt Brisco’s knee. Steamboat says all the run ins happen because they are the best wrestlers. Steamboat says he’ll watch Jack’s back.

Match 1
Jack Brisco & Ricky Steamboat d. Matt Borne & Steve Sybert
The red-romper wearing Sonny Fargo is the referee for the hour. Easy match for Brisco & Steamboat. Brisco reverses a back suplex on Sybert, and in the midst tags in Steamboat. He comes off the top rope with a chop to the prone Sybert and scores the pin. (As a note, Borne just came from a run in Portland, losing to Buddy Rose in a chain match to settle their feud on June 15. And, on Portland TV, they said Rose & Rip Oliver “crippled” Borne in Seattle on June 16.)

[Break]

Match 2
Jake Roberts d. Roddy Piper by DQ
Rick Steamboat joins Caudle on commentary. Piper is fighting dirty. He tears at Roberts’ bandages over his eye, reopening a previous cut. Roberts is bleeding slightly. Relatively slow-paced match. Piper is wearing my personal favorite tight design — the tartan. Boots are nearly matching. Roberts is engaging in a comeback when Sgt. Slaughter appears out of no where, and trips Roberts. Referee calls for the DQ. Piper is climbing the top rope, when Steamboat gets in the ring. Piper backs down and retreats.

-Int. w/Caudle: Pvt. Nelson & Pvt. Kernodle
The Privates are the new Mid-Atlantic tag team champions. Of course, no day or location of when they beat Cash & Parsons. Records indicate it happened 6/17/82 in Roanoke. Kernodle says Slaughter wanted the title back in June, and they made it happen. Nelson also puts the bad mouth to the returning Steamboat.

[Break]

Match 3
Jimmy Valiant d. Bill White
Network edit jump cut goes right to the start of the match. Typical Boogie Woogie match. Valiant wins with the elbow smash.

[Break]

-Int. w/Caudle: Sgt. Slaughter, The Privates, The Ninja, Roddy Piper
Slaughter tells The Privates to slick with Slaughter. He then dismisses them. Slaughter continues saying how the likes of Piper and Ninja needs to watch each other’s backs. Slaughter cedes the mic to Piper. He talks smack on Brisco and Steamboat. Ninja just paces back and forth with his sword.
Caudle introduces the next match via magic blue screen.

[Break]

Match 4
Sgt. Slaughter & Pvt. Jim Nelson & Pvt. Don Kernodle d. Mike Rotundo & Kelly Kiniski & Mike Davis
FWIW, Kernodle is still clean shaven and with a full head of hair. Heels mostly in control. Davis misses a dropkick, and Slaughter finishes him with the clothesline for the win.

-Int. w/Caudle: Rotundo & Kiniski
This is in lieu of local promos. A blown up Kiniski praises Slaughter and The Privates for the just concluded match. He says he and Rotundo are tagging regularly. Rotundo also slightly praises the heels, but complains about their double teaming.

[Break]

Match 5
Wahoo McDaniel & Jay Youngblood d. Ali Bey & Ken Timbs
Caudle points out what a great hour this has been. Maybe so. Seven hall of famers in the hour appeared. Funny, that Ali Bey is here. The Turk was around the last few weeks. Same gimmick! Highlight of the match is Wahoo blasting Bey with a hard chop. Youngblood wins after a chest chop to Timbs.

-Int. w/Caudle: Paul Jones; Jack Brisco
A subdued Jones is tired of Mosca smack talking him. Brisco is straight forward, saying he is ready for Piper.

“So long for now!”
