The announcing team of Les Thatcher & Rick Srewart kick off todays show with a big announcement. Thatcher introduces IWF Commissioner 'Cowboy' Bill Watts who is accompanied by the IWF World's Heavyweight Champion 'Big' Scott Hall to provide commentary at a match taped last Sunday, Sept. 11, from the Myraid Convention Center in Oklahoma City, Okla. It was a special stipulation World's Heavyweight Title Match between champ Scott Hall & challenger Kevin Von Erich w/mgr. Rock Hunter. The stipulation was it was an I Quit Match. To win the match, one man must make his opponent speak into the microphone 'I Quit'. As you can see, Hall won the match & we have the closing moments of that match for the fans. Unfortunately, Von Erich suffered a broken shoulder blade & he has returned to his home in Texas to recover. Still World's Heavyweight Champion, 'Big' Scott Hall.
Before going to commercial break, Stewart announces that returning to the IWF in action today are Dick Murdoch, Wahoo McDaniel & Ron Bass.
