Florida Tag Team Championship
The Manchurians (Champions) w/Sir Oliver Humperdink vs. Steve Strong and Ric Drasin
 
Drasin and Strong are a new team. They are big and well built. The Manchurians, however will match that with viciousness. The bell rings and it’s Manchurian #1 against Strong. Steve gets the better of things with power moves. The Manchurian takes to the floor to confer with Humperdink and his partner. He returns and tags in #2. He fares no better. This leads the Champions to get even rougher. They trap Drasin in their corner and work him over. Strong and Drasin are impressive, but the Champions are too much. Manchurian #1 clamps the nerve hold on Drasin and that’s it.
Winners-The Manchurians (21:03)

Idol is going to take on the Spoiler in Tampa in 10 days. He can’t overlook the veteran from Missouri. The bell rings and the Mauler goes to work. He pounds the Champion from pillar to post. The crowd is behind Idol, but that may not be enough. The Mauler whips Idol into the ropes and goes for a hip toss. Idol blocks it and reverses it into a sleeper. The Mauler gets to the ropes and referee Frenchy Bernard calls for the break. Idol rallies and it looks like he will retain the belt, but the Mauler lands a boot to the mid-section and the tide turns again. The Mauler smells victory and he goes for the powerslam. Idol blocks it and catches the Mauler in an inside cradle. Bernard counts three. Idol has retained the title.
