NON TITLE MATCH
SHINYA HASHIMOTO + DAN SEVERN w/The Rat v THE GLADIATORS
Bob: “My goodness Bill Watts, what has gotten into the champion? I’ve never seen him so ornery!
Bill: “Bob, as Mid-South grows, and we run more cards, that means more title defenses for Steve Austin, and in my mind I think the pressure is getting to him! Whether he defends the title in Shreveport, Little Rock, Baton Rouge, Jackson, Lafayette or anywhere in Mid-South you never know when and where he might lose that title belt to one of the other top stars if Mid-South wrestling, and I think the pressure is getting to him, plain and simple.
