Lance: “Well King, the word has been handed down from World Wide Wrestling, STARRCADE ’87 is scheduled for Thanksgiving Night, and you your majesty are expected to defend THAT title against “THE AMERICAN DREAM” DUSTY RHODES!
Lawler: “WHOA WHOA WHOA Lance Russell, I’m not only the World Champion I AM THE KING, and the last I checked the KING makes the rules around here not Ole Anderson or Dusty Rhodes! Now Dusty Rhodes said last week right here on TBS that he wants to ‘earn’ a title shot, you heard him say it again a few minutes ago, and I have come up with a brilliant way in which that can happen!
“Lance Russell, I, like King Arthur, a direct ancestor by the way from Camelot Castle in Memphis, England, lined up KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE hundreds of years ago, and I have done the same thing as we approach Starrcade '87!
“Dusty Rhodes you want a shot at the title belt November 25 at Starrcade in Greensboro, you have to face my SIX KNIGHTS. And next week you must defeat my First Knight: 6’9” TENNESSEE STUD, RON FULLER RIGHT HERE ON WORLD WIDE WRESTLING!
Lance: “David and Rob you just heard it, Jerry Lawler hiding behind his 6 Knights, not a win for Dusty Rhodes but a win for the viewers as they will see the American Dream wrestle The Tennessee Stud Ron Fuller NEXT WEEK RIGHT HERE ON WORLD WIDE WRESTLING!
