Roger Kent welcomes us to another great action packed hour of AWA Midwest All-Star Wrestling.  
 
Kent mentions that this past Monday night St. Paul Civic Center, the Blackjacks took on Midwest Tag Team Champions Larry Hennig and Wilbur Snyder in a loser leaves MCW match, and the end result was Blackjack Mulligan losing the fall and being forced to leave the Midwest Area.
 
We will have Percival Pringle III and Blackjack Lanza later in the hour, but at this time before our opening contest, let’s go to Al DeRusha in the ring with the Midwest Tag Team Champions Larry Hennig and Wilbur Snyder
 
DeRusha introduces the Tag Team Champions.
 
Snyder begins by mentioning that they are happy to have finally gotten rid of Mulligan, and that Lanza by himself, shouldn’t be too far behind.  He mentions about the return of Jim Brunzell to the area, and the team he’s forming with Greg Gagne, which should really have the fans excited.
 
Hennig mentions that he’s ready for anybody, and he doesn’t care who wants the straps, they will put them on the line against anybody.
 
DeRusha thanks them, and introduces the opening contest.
