LOWRANCE: I'm here at ringside with a man who has sold out arenas worldwide and we're thrilled to have him in World Class! Tito Santana, welcome to the Sportatorium!
TITO: This is really like a homecoming to me, Mark! I am a native of Tocula, Mexico, but I grew up in Texas and it really is a second home to me! The people here are always so kind to me and I promise to fight harder for them than I have ever fought before!
LOWRANCE: Tito, I know that a man with a distinguished careere like yours has made many friends in the sport. Who are some of your friends here in WCCW?
TITO:The Guerreros and I go way back. Wahoo McDaniel has always been a good friend. Chris Adams and I are pals. I'm also friend with the Youngblood brothers. Of course, I think that every Mexican wrestler looks up to Mil Mascaras! I see two men in the ring who I called friends early in my careere, but I quickly found out thet Terry and Dory Funk are reall nobody's friend! I might just find myself a partner and go after those American tag team belts! Austin Idol's American belt also is a goal of mine!
LOWRANCE: Tito, we have thousands of Spanish speaking fans and I'm sure they would like to hear some words in your native tongue..
TITO: It would be a pleasure... A todos mis fans latinas, me encanta y te aprecio mucho! ¡Estoy muy orgulloso de mi herencia mexicana y orgullosa de cada uno de ustedes! Seguir viendo y apoyando a me. Prometo grandes cosas van a suceder! Arriba!
Terry & Dory Funk vs. Scott Armstrong & Jonnie Stewart: The American Tag Titles(held by the Funks are not on the line this week.
