Commissioner Cox makes his way to the ring now.
He welcomes everyone tonight and says thank you to the fans. He hopes everyone is enjoying the matches. He then goes on to say that the next match Frank Gotch vs Buddy Rogers seems to have gotten a little heated and they have not even wrestled each other yet. They have both asked for a No DQ match and I have granted that.
But I think now would be a good time to say that whoever wins this match will be the first UWF TV Champion.
Santon makes his way to the ring now. He says that he wants his title match against Nick Bockwinkel since he has already proven he can beat him.
Commissioner Cox says he agrees that Nick was beaten fairly, but he thinks that Nick underestimated Santon and does not really think that proves anything. If Santon can beat Nick again next week in a non title match, then he will grant a title shot at the champion even if Harley Race may become champion tonight.
Santon then says he has already proven himself, but will beat Nick again and if he doesn't then Aethran aggression will have to take over.

A reporter is trying to get an interview with Jimmy Snuka. He asks Snuka how he feels about his partner Sandman and how far he thinks we will go.
Snuka avoids the question by running down the fans and asking the reporter if he saw what happened tonight. He then talks about being in the Fiji Islands and walks away.
The reporter then says, “Well that got me nothing.”
-----------------------------------------
SOLID MONEY (Ted Dibiase, Screw, and Ricken Prince) vs JAMMER and 2 Mystery Opponents
Solid Money waited in the ring to see who Jammer would bring in as his partners. Jammer stopped on the ramp and wasted no time in introducing his partner Blood. No one was really surprised by this. Jammer and Blood made their way to the ring and was about to introduce their partner when Solid Money attacked them. As the three men beat down Defiance, the mystery partner ran to the ring to even the odds …. it was …. Giant Baba.
This was a war that had all men fighting each other before the bell. Ref could not restore order and declared the match a no contest. Finally Defiance and Baba got the upperhand and Solid Money left the ring and headed to the back saying this is not over. Dibiase made a point to say Baba is going to be the target of his wrath.
The announcers say that Commissioner Cox will make a ruling to this match next week.
