WTBS Television Studio, Atlanta GA
* * * * *
Gordon Solie and Roddy Piper welcome us to this week's show... the Contender's Round Robin starts this week... we'll hear from the World's Tag Team Champions... The Pan-Pacific Connection and The Road Warriors square off with a number one contender's match at stake... but up first, the World's Heavyweight Champion is in action.
Non-Title Opening Match
World's Heavyweight Champion Rob Van Dam (w/ Bill Alfonso) pins Kenny Jay after a Van Daminator in 7:41
✮
Gordon Solie calls the Champ over to the podium and asks his thoughts on the Contender's Round Robin... RVD says, "Gordon Solie, Race, Thesz, Kowalski, and Hennig are all tough dudes. They are tough and skilled wrestlers. But, are they 'Mr. Saturday Night'? Are they 'The Whole F'n Show'? Nope. That's R-V-D. I'm the World's Champ and I kinda like it, so I think I'll hold on to this strap for a little while."... RVD and Bill Alfonso stay at the announce position to comment on the Contender's Round Robin matches.
Contender's Round Robin Round 1 Match
"Cool" Curt Hennig (w/ J.J. Dillon) pins "Handsome" Harley Race with the Hennig-Plex in 19:10
✮✮
Hennig and Dillon head to the podium and Van Dam extends his hand saying, "Helluva match, man"... Hennig looks at the extended hand, smirks, shakes his head in disgust, and walks away with Dillon.
Contender's Round Robin Round 1 Match
Lou Thesz pins Killer Kowalski with the Thesz Press in 9:28
✮
As Thesz gets his hand raised, King Kong Bundy hits the ring and attacks Thesz... Bundy bulls Thesz in the corner and hits him with the Avalanche... before Bundy can hit a splash on Thesz, RVD hits the ring with a chair in hand... Bundy bails, the Champ stands guard, and Alfonso and referees check on Thesz as we go to commercial.
We come back to Solie and Piper at the podium... they let us know that Lou Thesz was responsive and alert, but has been taken to Emory Hospital as a precaution... now, it's time for the main event and Giant Baba and The Destroyer, The Pan-Pacific Connection make their entrance... once they are in the ring, a disturbance is heard at the curtain and Luke Williams and Butch Miller, The Sheepherders come out and head to the podium... they go to Solie and ask, "Oi, where's The Road Warriors? We came to see The Road Warriors and we can't find 'em. They're no where in the locker room and they're not out here"... when Solie reacts dumbfounded at the news Miller continues... "Well, no Warriors, but seems a shame to let a shot at the number one contendership go to waste"... and The Sheepherders hit the ring... Referee Tommy Young checks with The Connection then calls for the bell... looks like we're on!

As The Sheepherders swarm Baba and look to end the match, the World's Tag Team Champions The Sandman & Bruiser Brody storm into the studio in street clothes, bags and belts in hand, causing the distraction that leads to Baba's comeback and the piledriver... as soon as the match ends, the Champs hit the ring and go after The Sheepherders with a wild brawl and pull apart as we go off the air.
