Bruiser Brody and The Sandman is a great pairing. They might be the dark horse to win it all. A final of them and The Road Warriors would be sweet.

"Let me holla at ya', Hot Rod.  Lou Thesz is double tough and, against medical advice, he is competiting in tonight's main event against Harley Race.  Now as for Bundy, he's been thrown out of the studio.  Fines and suspensions are being considered, but Bundy's gonna learn, playa', you can't pull stuff like this around here."

The Sheepherders come out and interrupt, with Butch Miller saying, "Nobody wants to hear about The Road Warriors and their four flat tires.  We've got bigger problems, like..."  Brody pulls the mic back in his direction, "Who said the Warriors had four flat tires?"  As The Sheepherders start to respond, The Road Warriors hit and security follows quickly behind before much damage can happen.

Thesz says, "BUNDY!  You say punishment ongoing.  Try.  I will become the World's Champion and nothing, not you or anyone else, will stand in my way"... Race steps up, "I can respect that.  What I can't respect is someone that can't take a loss like a man.  Bundy, understand this, Harley Race is watching Thesz's back.  And Thesz, you understand this, I want that World's Title too, and I don't care who has it.  If it's you, I'll deal with you when the time comes."

BUNDY!  I know you are here.  I know you are probably looking for a piece of me.  Well, I'm not hard to find.  You want me... come try me!"  Bundy comes out and starts shouting at Thesz... then Killer Kowalski hits Thesz from behind and Bundy joins in... they both double team Thesz when Harley Race tackles Kowalski out of nowhere...

Gordon Solie is with Commissioner Long when we come back from break... Long says, "Aight, playa'!  First things first, Dillon and Hennig's protesting the DQ because they've got nothing to do with Bundy.  Well, I believe 'em, but it don't matter.  A referee's decision is final.  Thesz is the number one contender to RVD's World's Title.  Ya'll got a problem with that, take it up with Bundy.  But, that's not what I came out here for.  The Sheepherders and The Road Warriors have both been blowin' up my phone.  They want a fight.  Well, who am I to deny a couple tag teams wanting to fight?  Heartbreak, Warriors, Sheepherders, it's on!"
