The show kicks off with a shot of the cheering wrestling fans as we go to the IWF desk with announcers Les Thatcher & Rick Stewart. Les & Rick kick off the show with the 'World's Strongest Man' Ken Patera & Commissioner Jim Barnet in the ring. The Commissioner has the contract for the loser-leaves IWF for one year to be held inside of a steel cage. Patera will be facing 'Sadistic'' Steve Strong. Ken signs it & waits for 'Sadistic' Steve Strong w/the Fallen Angel to come to the ring to sign. Strong finally does & signs the contract. Barnett reminds both them there is no coming back as a manager, referee or a masked man. The loser of the match will be gone for 365 days. The match is set for Wednesday, May 25. at the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson, MS at the next TV taping. Both men look as if they want to go at it right then but leave the ring instead.
