Lance: “And well, boy oh boy here they are, NEW World Tag Team Champions, TULLY BLANCHARD AND ARN ANDERSON with JJ Dillon, I have a feeling we will never hear the end of this one.
JJ: “You WON'T Lance Russell, because what happened in Richmond last weekend was the GREATEST VICTORY IN THE HISTORY OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING! Lance Russell these men proved they are the greatest tag team in the history of the sport, and will be for a long time to come!
Lance: “Well, JJ I can’t take anything away from these men, but the Fantastics are entitled to a rematch and aren’t going away anytime soon either!
Arn: “Ole Anderson tried to mess with us and had the University of Richmond football team surround the ring but it turns out THEY made sure the Fantastics were thrown back into the ring instead of running away from us and they threw them right into their demise.
Lance: “Well, now that’s not how I saw things Arn . . .
Tully: “Fantastics here is the bottom line! You might think the ladies cheer for you because you have the long hair, the fancy ring jackets, the good-looking face and the aw-shucks baby kissing. But at the end of the day, the chicks dig the title gold, and we have it and you don’t, so Fantastics when you come to the hotel at midnight after sitting alone at Stuckey’s with no friends and want to find us, we will be at the hotel bar, and while you won’t see us, you will know we are there as we'll will be surrounded by row after concentric row of the hottest women in town partying with the champs, as you will be on the outside looking in!

The Rooster joins Lance!
Terry: “First of all Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson congratulations on that big win, I hope to join you at the hotel bar with all those pretty ladies! But let’s be honest Lance that can’t happen until I eliminate this pain in the butt Wahoo McDaniel who earned a title shot at this US title 2/6 in Jacksonville at Starrcade on Tour by eliminating me in the battle royal in Asheville! Here is the thing Wahoo, I know you are a double tough veteran, but in my mind, sir, you represent the past, the Rooster represents the FUTURE of Professional Wrestling, and in Jacksonville, I will prove who is truly not only the Cock of the Walk, but the new “CHIEF” because there you can’t win this belt by throwing me over the top rope: you have to pin me 1-2-3 and I say YOU CANT DO IT!

Dusty Rhodes joins Lance!
Dusty: “Lance Russell, I want to address the nation as yes, I stand here, with no world title belt. I feel badly that I let the American people down, but never dreamed in a million years Jerry Lawler would lower himself to associate with the likes of Luna. I know this Luna very well. I battled her and Kevin Sullivan and his Army of Darkness in Florida five years ago.
“Jerry Lawler let me warn you King, things ended very, very badly for Kevin Sullivan in Florida, and if you choose the pursue a partnership with this dark, sick evil woman, it will end badly for you! This young lady is nothing but BAD NEWS, not only for the Dream if you will . . . . BUT FOR YOU AS WELL, KING JERRY LAWLER! She is a snake, she is poison, she is a POX upon humanity! King you say you want to start a reign of terror? Create an American nightmare? You’ll have to still go through the American Dream Dusty Rhodes to make that happen, Jack, and the last I checked, I ain't going NOWHERE, DADDY!

Pretaped comments from Buddy Landell!
Landell: “First of all I want to sincerely apologize to Ron Simmons for hitting him with a television. But you see Ron Simmons when the officials here at World Wide Wrestling do all they can to prevent Buddy Landell from winning gold, you can see how frustrated I can get. Now, I have been just informed we will have a rematch at Clash of the Champions on Pay Per View, even though I have been unfairly suspended for 30 days. Ron Simmons, enjoy your month off because as each day piles up, Buddy Landell will stew, brood, and put that angry energy into getting into the best shape of my life, and then take out the leftover anger on YOU Ron Simmons as I take that National title from YOU!
