IWF taped Wednesday 9-28 in Jackson, MS. (Airs 10-1 WGN & syndicated). First of two TV tapings.
The announcing team of Les Thatcher & Rick Srewart kick off todays show with a big announcement from president of the Rock Hunter Organization, Rock Hunter himself. Mr. Hunter announces he decided not renew the contracts of Harley Race & Nick Bockwinkel. The arrogant announcer says that he has found the man who can bring the IWF World's Heavyweight Belt back to the Hunter Organization -- 'The World's Strongest Man' Ken Patera. A smiling Patera joins Mr. Hunter & IWF World's Junior Heavyweight Champion Joe Malenko w/valet the Fallen Angel. Ken says he is sick of playing second fiddle to a lot of no-talent punks in the UWF & he immediately accepted Mr. Hunter's incentive to join the Hunter Organization.
IWF Commissioner 'Cowboy' Bill Watts joins Les & Rick to express his feelings on the matter. Watts says a leopard never changes his spots. He has known Patera for a long time as a bad guy & Watts says sooner or later he revert back to his old waya. Scott Hall had better watch his back now that 'World's Strongest Man' is gunning for his title.
Before going to commercial break, Stewart annouces in action today are the Missing Link, Wendi RIchter, Chavo Guerrero, Scott Hall & Paul Orndorff and Mr. Olympa.
