Notes:
Bob Holly is pretty geeky here.
: He beats Tim Fry in a somewhat competitive fashion.
The Koloffs are a great team, honestly. Koloff cuts a pretty okay promo talking about what they'll do to the Fantastics tonight.
Robert Gibson desperately needs Ricky Morton. He feels so out of place in this promo without Ricky.
Rip Rogers vs. Orndorff was a great match. Those two could go! Orndorff wins despite the piledriver being banned, which is gonna be a huge story for Orndorff.
Danny Davis is a pretty good gimmick.
Brian Lee looks like a deer in the headlights and I can't believe he goes on to be a champion. He does talk about Dutch Mantell though.
Dutch goes uber heel with the bullwhip after dominating and runs when Lee shows up. Mantell cowers to the back, not wanting to deal with Lee.
Jim Cornette once again the best talker this week. He says that, like Bob Armstrong getting in Dutch's business, everyone has been in his business about his new tag team. He promises that in good time he'll bring his team to the forefront.
Poor Wally Yamaguchi. Just a bad promo all around. No real reason for this promo either. Wally never shows up again so it's a wonder why this was brought in.
Ron Wright says he's never harmed anyone in his lifetime. Which is the irony of the gimmick since he was one of the most despised heels during the 60's and 70's. Which is hilarious.
Koloffs vs. Fantastics started as a big brawl and slowly devolved into a tag team match. As things should start, instead of a tag team match that devolves into a brawl with a blood feud like this. Great match regardless. Koloffs lose after Ivan gets pinned with a nice finish by Bobby Fulton.
Cornette hates backwater towns. He says he refuses to go to some of these hick towns.
Terry Gordy cuts a promo that I cannot tell if it's so bad it's good or so good it's bad. Man looked intense though. From Freebird Mountain to all over the world. From Freebird Mountain, to all over Japan. He then says it's the first time he's been from Freebird Mountain... to Smoky Mountain. Then he segues into bombs dropping. Just insanity.
Then the show ends with a shit Tim Horner promo. Man cannot talk to save his life.
