Bombers seem to have the belts in their tight grasp.
Backlund is a machine as always.

I'm starting to believe in the 5 Years as champ Bob Backlund.

Another remarkable series of events, my friend... Thoroughly enjoyed that Dog Collar match between Piper and Idol... Very cool that Hot Rod was able to blow off this feud in triumphant fashion.

Not surprising that Mascaras received such great treatment by the bookers during his visit... Will he actually receive a shot at the gold?

It was starting to look like Zoltan was going to ruin Slaughter's run in the territory (we all remember how he sent Mr DiPaolo packing not too long ago)... Fortunately, Sarge was able to get his win back... Will he risk a rubber match?

And of course, I'm really looking forward to the inevitable encounter between the LWF World Heavyweight Champion and the Macho Man... OHHH, YEAH!

[Pariah]

Nice to see the Bombers are elevating the prestige level of the tag belts... A healthy run has a tendency to accomplish this... Looking forward to the upcoming top contenders match, but I don't think Garea & Zbyszko or Fuji & Saito will be able to defeat the current champs.

Backlund is absolutely killing it... Too bad his memorable title reign is about to come to an end... OHHH, YEAH!
