The Midnight Express (Champions) w/James E. Cornette vs. The Rougeau Brothers
Cornette grabs the mic from the ring announcer.
Cornette, “Give me that! I’m going to do this in English, so the intelligent people can understand, if anyone in here has an IQ above room temperature. Let me introduce to you, the World Tag Team Champions, Loverboy Dennis, and Beautiful Bobby, the Midnight Express!”
The popular Rougeaus challenge the tag team champs. The Montreal crowd is solidly behind their native sones. Bobby starts with Raymond. They go back and forth, and Rougeau looks very good. Cornette shouts instructions from ringside. Rougeau whips Eaton into the ropes and clamps on the sleephold. Eaton fights his way to the ropes. Condry tags in, and tries his hand. He has some success, and Raymond tags in Jacques. He goes right after Condry. The pace of the match increases. Both teams tag in, and out. All four men end up in the ring.
