Bill Watts narrates highlights from the past few weeks:
-Sam Houston and Jose Lothario lose the WWU World Tag Team Championships under questionable circumstances to Larry Sharpes team of Volkoff and Von Raschke in Houston then challenge them on TV in a rematch, where Jose Lothario is deliberately injured by the Monster Factory.
-Houston is offered a job with the Monster Factory, and instead punches all of their members, and flees to the ring. The Monster Factory surrounds the ring but Ivan Putski and Rick McGraw come to the rescue with chairs.
-A livid Sharpe doubles his bodyslam challenge to Ivan Putski if he can bodyslam Big John Studd from $10,000 to $20,000. Putski accepts and almost gets the job done but the Monster Factory interferes and eventually put the boots to Sam Houston, trying to help Ivan Putski from a beating. Tiger Conway Jr and Mr. Olympia were involved in all this when UNDISPUTED WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION DICK MURDOCH RUNS IN AND CLEANS HOUSE, AND FORMS A PACT WITH HOUSTON AND THEY WILL CHALLENGE FOR THE TITLES AUGUST 5 AT THE SUPERDOME!
Steve: “Fans more matches for the Dome coming soon! We will be right back!
