 Year 1, Week 2
WTBS Television Studio, Atlanta GA


* * * * *

Gordon Solie and Roddy Piper open this week's show and tell us that we'll hear from Commissioner Teddy Long regarding the request of Rogers & Snuka last week... the Sheepherders are not in the building, but we'll see the debut The Family, "The Sicilian" Lou Albano & "Pretty Boy" Bobby Heenan, this week... and this week's main event will see Lou Thesz face off with the debuting King Kong Bundy in the final Contender's Round Robin Qualifier 


Opening Match
Nick Bockwinkel pins George South after a back suplex in 6:28



Tag Team Attraction
The Family defeats Kenny Jay & Jake Milliman when Bobby Heenan pins Milliman after a knee drop in 7:10
✮ 1/2

The Family heads to the announce desk post-match... Albano says "Look here, daddy, The Family is here!  Rogers and Snuka are talkin' about how they deserve a rematch for the World's Titles.  The Commission is lookin' into it.  Brother, look no further than The Family.  Bruiser Brody... Sandman... here's your number one contenders"... Heenan chimes in with "Brody is a big man... big and slow and perfect partner for a drunk.  Yeah, they can fight, but can they wrestle.  Well, The Family can and if you've got the guts, boys, we'll take the World's Titles, pure and simple."


Co-Feature Contest
Bobo Brazil defeats Gorgeous George (w/ Cherie Dupre) when George walks out at 7:32 and gets counted out
✮ 1/2


Roddy Piper brings out the Commissioner of the LWF, Theodore R. Long... Long says "Playa, the World's Tag Team Championship sure is a hot commodity.  Now, there's no doubt, Bruiser Brody and The Sandman are the World's Champions.  Two double tough, bad, bad men.  And, there's no doubt, 'Nature Boy' Rogers and the 'Superfly' have proven they are one helluva team, top notch wrestlers.  But, 'round here, you earn your shots.  So, next week, the two semifinal teams from the Tag Title Tournament, The Pan-Pacific Connection and The Road Warriors, will face off.  The winners of that match will take on Rogers and Snuka on an upcoming edition of Legendary to determine the number one contenders.  Anybody that wants to be the best is gonna have to prove it.  Now, holla... holla, holla."
