-Your hosts are Jim Ross and Joel Watts in the headlights. BREAKING NEWS: Jim Ross announced during last week’s show that Kerry Von Erich would be wrestling on the program this week. However, last week, in a match you may have heard about, Kerry defeated Ric Flair for the NWA World Title, and as such, he has been required to honor the champion’s commitments, so he’s dropped out of his Mid-South booking.
-Joel talks about the Super Date at the Superdome, saying that he knows from experience that there’s no better place to take a date than a wrestling show at the Superdome. They’ve whipped up a whole video package with fancy graphics to lay out the rules and run down what the “prize” is exactly, and it’s kind of funny as the graphic makes it clear that you’re getting a hotel room for ONE person.
