I was always amazed that a WWWF World Champion (Morales) was never more than a jobber in JCP.

I have a copy of that show on a commercial tape I bought a long time ago I was wondering when Studd introduced he has a belt over his shoulder I'm assuming it's Mid-Atlantic Tag team belt Is it the one he had with Flair or the 1 with Ken Patera?

My memory may be wrong but I believe Ken Patera was John Studd's
partner as the Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Champions when this taping took
place.

That makes sense Studd, Ladd, and Flair did the promo to end the show and Studd still had his belt so if Flair had been the other half he would've had a belt like Studds' but Flair had no belt at that time

CWH you are correct.  Patera was Studd's partner during that time.

Herb Gallant use to live not to far from me.
 
His oldest son was in Amateur Boxing (not sure if he still his) and he was pretty good here in New Brunswick.
