One more PRETAPED promo from GREG VALENTINE, before his WWU debut this Thanksgiving in Houston:



“You know, without any shock to me, the top managers of the world of wrestling have already been reaching out to Yours Truly, promising Greg Valentine that THEY will take me, the greatest talent in wrestling history, to the VERY TOP of the wrestling profession! I have been made offers from the greatest masterminds of wrestling, from Baby Doll to Don Carson, well let me make this announcement: this Thanksgiving Night, Greg Valentine will announce to the world the only, the one, manager qualified to guide the world’s greatest wrestler, the master of the FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK, to the ultimate prize in sports: THE WWU UNDISPUTED WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!

.

With the close of that video, LARRY SHARPE is smoking a cigar and storms the set!



Larry: “HAHAHAHA!!! THERE YOU HAVE IT BILL WATTS AND STEVE STACK, THE DEAL HAS BEEN SEALED, YOU JUST heard it from Greg Valentine, he has AGREED TO JOIN LARRY’S LOUNGE!!!!



Bill: “With all due respect, Mr. Sharpe, we didn’t hear anything from that tape from Greg Valentine indicating he was going to be managed by you.



Larry: “There again you fail Watts----an athlete the scope of Greg Valentine isn’t going to announce his choice until the very last moment----but the bottom line is he CHOSE ME!!! I mean, did you NOT hear him say his new manager was going to take him to the top of the sport? Who else can that mean but the manager of the TWO TIME World Tag Team Champions #1 contender to the Undisputed World Heavyweight Championship     Kendo Nagasaki!



“And with Greg Valentine stepping into Larry’s Lounge with the World Tag Team Champions there is nothing that will STOP US!!! HAHAHAHHA!!!



LARRY BLOWS SMOKE INTO BILL AND STEVE’S FACE! BILL WAVES IT AWAY AGGRESSIVELY!



Steve: “GUARANTEED wrestling action when wee return!

Southwest champ Freebird Buddy Roberts and baby Doll join us just hours before we visit the Summit Thanksgiving Night!



Buddy: “Like me love me or hate me, Bill Watts there is one thing you CANNOT take away from Buddy Roberts: my respect for THIS woman, Baby Doll!

"Bill Watts I know this woman will be unfairly, unlawfully and illegally handcuffed to you at ringside against ALL rules of decency when I defend this Southwest title versus Bob Sweetan Thanksgiving night in Houston. Bill Watts you don’t owe me ANYTHING, so I appeal to your sense as a gentlemen:

.
.
.
.
.



“Since you sir will be handcuffed to this woman during our match, I must place the responsibility for her safety in YOUR hands, and I think it only fair you give me YOUR WORD no harm will come to Baby Doll during this match!



Bill: “Buddy Roberts, time and time again I have seen this woman interfere over and over again in your matches with Bob Sweetan to keep your belt, and I frankly can’t imagine what supposed ‘danger’ she will be in Thanksgiving night . . . but I will tell you this . . . as long as we are handcuffed, as a GENTLEMEN, I will swear to you: BABY DOLL WILL NOT BE HARMED UNDER MY WATCH THANKSGIVING NIGHT!

DARK MATCHES:

Greg Valentine def. Rick McGraw

Battle royale: Tiger Conway Jr wins

[doctorfate]

Big Battle Royal win by Conway, Jr. The sides for Roberts/Sweetan are being taken in a very interesting way, given the comments of Watts and Sweetan here. Who will Valentine choose? My vote is for the field, if you catch my drift. Rheingans and Nagasaki would have made for a great TV match by themselves, but Murdoch coming in put it over the top. Thanksgiving Night, the roof is coming off The Summit.
