Ronnie Garvin is here and joins Steve and Bob and announces he will indeed wrestle Buddly Landell officially in a match where the referees will officiate for OUTSIDE THE RING except for falls or submission opportunities. Garvin hopes this match will once and for all end Landell’s cries that he is getting cheated by the officials.

"Buddy Landell the biggest cry of a loser in sports is he was robbed by the referee or umpire. You hear this all the time from the Washington Redskins when they lose to the Cowboys, or the Steelers, Browns or Bengals when they lose to the Oilers. But after the card at the Summit you won't be able to hear it from Buddy Landell because this stipulation takes the officials away from the match! And once and for all, I will defeat you Buddy Landell and move into title contention!

Good to see Dory Funk Jr. getting the legends treatment in that opener. Without seeing the buildup, wrapping my head around seeing Terry Taylor attached to The Rooster name as World champion is a lot to take in but in going back, I can see he's presented quite seriously. Should be a great match with Dory posing a real threat to his reign.

The head gear bit after a wrestler loses their hair is always a good one to pull out of the bag and it never ends well for the heels so I'm thinking The Rock n Roll RPMs might be in trouble against Wahoo McDaniel & Manny Fernandez.

That angle between Gary Hart and Sam Houston was great. I'm not familiar going in but you got over everything you needed to so that a viewer is caught up and then to take something like Houston spitting on Hart's shoe and turn it into such a big thing really shows some good storytelling. The forced apology next week should be equally as good.

Interesting stipulation between Ronnie Garvin and Buddy Landell. Have to think that favors Garvin but also at the same, might give Landell some opportunities to take advantage of any distractions that might come up on the outside.

Ron Simmons in the TV main against a big guy like Curtis Hughes will help viewers to stick around, even if non title.
