PACIFIC HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION MARK LEWIN with manager Jonathan Boyd joins Lord James for their first interview since Oct 15!
Mark just stares into the sky and blinks his eyes revealing the whites of his eyes as Boyd speaks:
Jonathan: “I have to ask you Lord James Blears how else is this promoter of yours Sammy Steamboat going to stack the deck against this man Mark Lewin in favor of Rocky Johnson, the hometown hero? How much home cooking will there be to scheme to steal this the Pacific title from him? Mark Lewin DEFEATED Rocky Johnson, ON THE SQUARE, your Lordship on October 15. Why is bloody hell does he have to wrestle him AGAIN?
Lord James: “Well, now if I may beg your pardon, sir, I don’t think that is an accurate version of facts. The reason there is a no disqualification stipulation is because Mr. Johnson was so angered with this man’s disparaging comments about his family, admittedly he could not control himself and sacrificed the first fall. Johnson won the second fall clean and would have with the third fall if it weren’t for a distracted referee, hence the two referee stipulation!
Boyd: “THAT IS BOLLOCKS, BLEARS, ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL THIS MAN HE IS NOT THE TRUE CHAMPION?
LEWIN TURNS TOWARDS BLEARS AND STANDS OVER HIM STARING HIM DOWN!
Blears: “ALL RIGHT all right Mr. Boyd, regardless those are the rules of the rematch November 24 in Honolulu, and if you would like to push the issue, we can play the videotape of the match right here on television!
Boyd: “RULES? TAPE? You want to lecture me about BLOODY RULES? YOU WANT TO SEE THE TAPE? You see Joe Savoldi out there in the ring? WE WILL SHOW YOU WHAT TYPE OF RULES WE PLAY BY AND GIVE YOU TAPE! GET HIM, HAZE GET HIM!
WITH THAT LEWIN TAKES OFF HIS BELT AND STORMS THE RING AND LAYS THE PUNCHES AND KICKS ON JOE SAVOLDI!

New ALL-ASIAN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS Siva Afi and Super Samoan Sakalia join Lord James. Afi says while the Million Dollar Babies were impressive this week, they will need to see a little more before they grant them a tag team title match Thanksgiving night, otherwise they will ask Sammy Steamboat to make phone calls to Japan, Mexico, the United States and Canada to find suitable foes!
Lord James: “I think that’s fair! As impressive as the Million Dollar Bodies seem, there are teams around the world ready to challenge for those belts at a MOMENTS notice.

MARK LEWIN w/Jonathan Boyd V. JOE SAVOLDI
Lord James: "Fans I must admit, under the persuasion of King Curtis, I had serious concerns about Mark Lewin, however it appears Jonathan Boyd has him under some sort of hypnotic spell, a Svengali type of spell if you well, and Mr. Lewin is indeed a different type of Pacific champion under his tutelage!
Lewin wins with the sleeper!

Greg Gagne joins Lord James: “Boy that Mark Lewin is one rough customer, Lord James Blears. But let's talk about a real burr in my saddle as of late, David Sammartino.
"You REALLY want a piece of this Thanksgiving night, you second-generation tomato? Let me put things in perspective for you, you punk. You worship your overrated father, an illiterate peasant from Italy who had a run of let’s say 20 years as an overrated world champion who got by with his strength in the ring, not his skill. I’m the one WALKING AWAY from the legacy of MY father, who was only a top amateur and college wrestler, but one who had the brains to start his own promotion and held the AWA world title off and on for THIRTY YEARS. Don’t even COMPARE the record of your phony father who you cling onto like a little boy to that of my father, who I turn my back on to prove I'M MY OWN MAN, and on Thanksgiving night David Sammartino I’m going to prove you and your family are the BIGGEST TURKEYS of them all when I get you in the ring, and teach you a GAGNE style wrestling lesson your muscle head father wasn’t capable of doing!
