Also of note, the bootleg Papa Shango debuted attacking The Missing Link and some dissension began between Stan Lane and manager Jim Cornette after Cornette cost him his match with Exotic Adrian Street.)

(Note: The return to MSG saw Candido & Credible's luck run out as the legendary duo of Bruno Sammartino & Antonino Rocca beat them for the world tag titles. Most notable underneath was the debut of a bootleg Hollywood Hulk Hogan in grand fashion as he faced longtime rival Andre the Giant though he lost by DQ. It was the start of a controversial run for Hogan in LOW. The bootleg Iron Mike Sharpe had his debut as well losing to S.D. Jones in the opener. This card began the buildup for the first ever LOW supercard, WrestleCade I, taking place on the next show at MSG - card #100.)

This was around the time thet my LOW Midwest/West Coast fed was starting to develop so plans were constantly changing and Norton would move on to a bigger role in shows to come.)

Gorgeous George, Playboy Buddy Rose, Jesse Ventura, & Ox Baker - What a team! Is Ox there just to make the others look even better?
Austin Idol would fit great with this team as well!

Ox mixed in with those three would certainly be a sight to see. I agree on Idol and I wish he had an official LOW card. |
