Les & Rick kick off the show with an interview with the very pleased president of the Rock Hunter Organization -- Rock Hunter. Hunter says you call him the manager of champions as he predicted he would. Les tells everyone that the Iron Sheik defeated Bob Backlund for the IWF World's Heavyweight Belt on 4-24 before 9,000 rabid fans at the Municiple Auditorium in Mobile, Ala. Rick then adds that the evening before, 4-23, in the UAB Center in Birmingham. Ala., Harley Race & Nick Bockwinkel captured the IWF World's Tag Team Titles from DJ Peterson & Don Diamond before a near sellout of 8,000 plus vocal fans. They present highlights from the two matches with commentary from Hunter before bringing out his stable of champions. After brief words from all three champions, Hunter says the only title missing from his stable is the iWF World's Junior Heavyweight Belt held by Brad Armstrong. The head of the Rock Hunter Organization has some one in mind to take the belt off Mr. Armstrong.
