Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling
Original broadcast: 05/014/83
(taped 5/11/83 at WPCQ-TV studios in Charlotte)
This program does not appear on the WWE Network



Unfortunately, WWE Network skips this week again. Here are the abstract results:
Great Kabuki & Magic Dragon d. Rick McCord & Keith Larson
From World Wide Wrestling: World tag team championship: Rick Steamboat & Jay Youngblood [ch.] d. Jack & Jerry Brisco by DQ; Ron West
Mike Rotundo & Rufus R. Jones d. Dory Funk, Jr. & Jake Roberts

A week after refusing, Steamboat & Youngblood met the Briscos’ challenge. And, like their match three weeks prior, Jerry had the Figure Four on Steamboat. Youngblood tried to make the save. As referee Ron West put him out of the ring, Jack dived on Steamboat’s trapped knee. The referee called for the DQ.
