“Nature Boy” Buddy Landell joins Lance after Ole Anderson announces he will wrestle Wildcat Wendell Cooley at STARRCADE ’87!
Buddy: “You know Lance Russell, I get it. Anyone in Worldwide Wrestling would admit The Nature Boy should be wrestling Dusty Rhodes, Jerry Lawler, Terry Taylor, Austin Idol, Ron Simmons, Jimmy Valiant or Jimmy Garvin at Starrcade! But let us make no mistake, the roster is crowded in Worldwide Wrestling, with perhaps the most exciting roster of all time, and I just learned my Starrcade match will be Wildcat Wendell Cooley. Wildcat Wendell, I just listed the greatest wrestling roster in wrestling history. And by defeating yours truly on the biggest stage in the sport, Starrcade, Nature Boy Buddy Landell, you will earn an opportunity to be introduced into that pantheon of the greatest names in professional wrestling!
“But just remember one thing Wendell Cooley, YOURS TRULY is one of that pantheon, and to beat me, you will have to prove you are indeed one of the BEST OF THE BEST! And to prove that, you will need to beat the REEEEEAL NATURE BOY, AT STARRCADE 87, and here’s a news flash for you son: I’m not giving up my sport on Mount Rushmore just yet!

Ron points his finger at Lance: “THIS IS BULL, LANCE RUSSELL, ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, IM GONNA GETTA PIECE OF THAT NO GOOD TURKEY RON SIMMONS BETWEEN NOW AND STARRCADE!
Bass snaps his whip and prowls away!
Lance: “David and Bob, I think that fellow is gonna have to wait until STARRCADE ’87 to get his paws on National Champion Ron Simmons, back to you!

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!
.
.
Lawler: “The last I checked Dusty Rhodes, you faced FIVE out of six of my Knights: Robert Fuller . . .Assassin . . . Tiger Jeet Singh . . . Sheik . . . . ..and Dr. D David Schultz. I give you credit for surviving them all but you have yet to face the SIXTH AND MOST DANGEROUS KNIGHT OF THE ALL before you prove yourself worthy of a World title shot at Starrcade:

“YOURS TRULY THE KING HIMSELF, JERRY LAWLER!
Lance: “AW COME ONE, JERRY, HE’S EARNED IT FAIR AND SQUARE!

Dusty: “Let me address the nation by saying this, David Crockett and Bob Caudle . . . ..I KNEW . . . .I REMEMBERED . . . .as Ron Fuller was pounding me . . . as Dr D David Shultz was slapping the Dream’s face like it was John Stossel's head. . . . as Tiger Jerry Singh was beating me with his sword, 45 degrees from gutting me like STUCK PIG . . . .and as the Mighty and Exalted Bloodletter himself, a man that for decades built a career on cutting other men open and burning them . . . .
“I REMEMBERED YOU Jerry the King Lawler sayun’ that there was ONE MAN you would bring out even lower than any of your knights, even more than a low life butcher like Tiger Jerry Singh or the Sheik, all to keep you from defending your title from The American Dream: and that lowlife was YOU!
“But there is only one lowlife even lower than even you, King.
“AND YOU ARE LOOKING AT THAT LOWLIFE! NEXT WEEK, RIGHT HERE ON TBS, it’s the King v the Common Man, well look at this Common Man, a LOW LIFE, bleeding from his forehead, a burn on his eye, all because of YOU JERRY KING LAWLER! Forget the Sheik, WHEN I GET DONE WITH YOU NEXT WEEK RIGHT HERE ON THIS TELEVISION PROGRAM, THERE MIGHT NOT BE A STARRCADE! WHEN I GET DONE WITH YOU JERRY LAWLER, THERE MIGHT NOT BE A WORLDWIDE WRESTLING! AFTER WHAT I DO TO YOU JERRY LAWLER TED TURNER HIMSELF MIGHT COME DOWN AND LOCK UP THIS VERY HERE STUDIO!
