We go to this pretape from Chicago International Airport just before ONE MAN GANG AND KING KONG BUNDY boarded their long flight to Hawaii for tonight’s match against Jimmy Snuka and Don Muracco!
One Man Gang: “Here we are at the miserable airport! I weigh over 300 pound and am NOT looking forward to flying in a tiny seat to stinkin’ Hawaii except for one reason: to take those All-Asian tag team championships from Don Muraco and Jimmy Snuka at Blaze at the Blaisdell, tell ‘em Bundy!
Bundy: “Make no mistake, Hawaii. When me and Bundy fly 12 hours to and back to beat your heroes, Snuka and Bundy, we are gonna take those All-Asian belts and will NEVER RETURN! We are gonna defend them right here in the REAL United States because we ain’t flying back there again! So Honolulu say goodbye to not only those title belts, BUT TO MURACCO AND SNUKA, BECAUSE YOU’LL NEVER SEE THEM EVER AGAIN WHEN WE GET DONE WITH THEM! HAHAHAHA!

Pretape from DON MURACCO AND JIMMY SNUKA!
Muracco: “AWWWW boo hoo hoo One Man Gang and fatboy King Kong Bundy don’t wanna take a 12 hour flight to Hawaii for an opportunity to win the most prestigious tag team prize of them all, the All-Asian tag team championships? Do you know where me and the Superfly are from? We have to fly hours to ANYWHERE we want to wrestle because we live here because we LOVE the Pacific. Hell Jimmy lives in the Fiji Islands which alone is a 12 hour flight to Hawaii too! We will travel as much as it takes, as long as it takes, to win matches, but the good news . . . . .tonight at the Blaisdell Arena. . . we have the home field advantage, isn’t that right Superfly?
Jimmy: “PEOPLE OF HAWAII IN TVLAND! Tonight Hawaii wrestling needs you more than EVER BEFORE! The hometown team needs your support more than ever! Wild Samoans, Siva Afi, Super Samoan, Rocky Johnson and me and the Magnificent One! We must lift ourselves on the shoulders of the great people of Hawaii, brotha, and vanquish the foes that come to our shores and make sure One Man Gang and King Kong don't take our titles back to the mainland and never return!

Sammartino comes over to talk with Lord James after the match.
“Tonight I will be at the Blaisdell Arena to respect the legacy of my father, respect myself and respect my opponent, and prove to the wrestling word that you can conduct yourself PROPERLY in the ring and still get the win!

Smasher: “WILD SAMOANS! Tonight at the Blaisdell Arena we will PROVE we are the toughest two men in Hawaii!
Crusher: “Hawaiian wrestling fans! Come to the Blaisdell Arena if you got the GUTS! As a matter of fact, I don’t think any of you have the guts to pay money for a ticket, because you KNOW me and Smasher will just destroy your heroes the Wild Samoans and rip them limb to limb and prove to you LIVE we are superior to any Pacific wrestler! And if you think you all are gonna come to the Blaisdell Arena and lift the Samoans up enough to beat us, you are mistaken! We DARE you to come down here and try! I say when the smoke clears, we are gonna prove we are tougher than not only the Samoans, but any of YOU!

A table is set up in the middle of the ring with three chairs, one on each side, with Sammy Steamboat across from the camera side at the end of the table, and with two folders. Lord James explains we will NOW HAVE THE CONTRACT SIGNING FOR THE PACIFIC HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH TONIGHT AT THE Blaisdell!
Rocky Johnson comes in and sits to the left of the camera, followed by Mark Lewin, with Jonathan Boyd and Prince Curtis standing behind him!
Sammy Steamboat reminds Rocky that he cannot make contact with Mark Lewin or he will forfeit the match, and the rules of the match: 2/3 falls, 60 minute time limit!
Both men look at the contracts, and sign, and Lord James puts the microphone in front of the challenger.
Rocky: “Lord James Blears, with all due respect, I’m going to stand up and leave, because all I know is this man is going to try and bait me into hitting him and costing me and the fans this match. Mark Lewin, I plan on doing my talking: TONIGHT, IN THE RING!
Rocky gets up and starts to step through the ropes but Lewin grabs the mike!
Lewin: “Hey Rocky Johnson, running away from me like your entire career, eh? You know who didn’t run away? Your SON! Unlike you he had the guts to wrestle me face to face, too bad it ended up crippling him!
Rocky stops and stands with his hands on his hips!
“That’s right, he was in there for YOU Rocky Johnson and you were NOWHERE TO BE FOUND! You know why, unlike your kid, YOU’RE A BUM, ROCKY JOHNSON, A BUM, JUST LIKE ALL THESE FANS OUT HERE!
Lord James: “Mr. Lewin, I BEG OF YOU TO STOP, Mr. Johnson, PLEASE for your sake you don’t have to listen to this poppycock!
Lewin: “THAT’S RIGHT Rocky Johnson, you DON’T have to listen! But you know you want to know what I’m gonna say next, like your son while he has guts is as WORTHLESS AS HIS OLD MAN!
ROCKY CAN'T TAKE IT, AND TOSSES THE TABLE, AND LUNGES AT LEWIN BUT PRINCE CURTIS GETS IN FRONT OF HIM AND TAKES THE SHOT TO THE FACE! JOHNSON HAS LEWIN CORNERED, BUT REFEREES AND THE JOBBER DRESSING ROOM COME OUT AND STOP JOHNSON FROM BEING HIS WORSE ENEMY!
Lord James: “WE NEED TO GET THESE MEN OUT OF HERE. . . ..
“ . . . Mark Lewin thought he was going to get Rocky Johnson to cost himself this match tonight, but when the bell rings here at the Blaisdell, THE GLOVES ARE OFF AND I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PACIFIC HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION AS ROCKY JOHNSON WILL MAKE HIM PAY FOR HIS WORDS, LET ME ASSURE YOU, fans, as both men are escorted out of the ring, lets go to this footage right now!
