Interviews on this show:
 
- Tiger Conway Jr & Thunderbolt Patterson talk about teaming up to challenge the Fabulous Blondes for the Southwest Tag Team Titles, and about how they are both entered in the Brass Knux Tournament coming up.
 
- Big John Studd w/ Fred Blassie talk about what a travesty it is that Blackjack Mulligan got to name the stipulation of their last match, and stole the Southwest belt.  Studd issues a challenge to Mulligan to face him in a match of his choosing....a match where you win if you are the first man to utilize your signature hold.....his bodyslam vs. Mulligan's lariat.  Next Sunday night at Freeman Coliseum if Mulligan has the.....guts.
 
- Steve Stack hosted a taped interview from Jerry "The King" Lawler in Memphis TN, where he assures all the great fans here in the Southwest that there is only one true king of wrestling, and that's Lawler.  He said Carl Fergie is a joke, and the fans don't need to take him seriously.
 
- "King" Carl Fergie calls Lawler a liar and a cheap imitation.  Fergie claims to be the real royalty "in all of rasslin' daddy!"  He says that he is going to take his royal chariot to Memphis TN and teach that peon Lawler a lesson.
 
- Blackjack Mulligan thanks the fans for being behind him, and accepts Studd's challenge to put his lariat against Studd's bodyslam.  He then said that he may even slap his claw on Studd just for fun.  Next Sunday night in San Antonio it's on.
 
- Eddie Mansfield runs down a long list of excuses as to why he lost to Tully Blanchard last Sunday, but the real fact is because that no good Joe Blanchard put his hands on him.  He said he is sick of being double teamed by those no good Texans, so he has a plan to counter act old man Joe next time.  He issues a challenge for Tully to face him here on tv next week.
 
- Manager Rock Riddle introduces Rip Rogers as the new "Mr. Wonderful" since Wendall Cooley is afraid of winning.  He claims that Rip will dominate wrestling, and is now entered into the Brass Knux tourney as well.
 
- The Spoiler gloated about his recent victories, but then turned serious and sent out an ominus warning to Blackjack Mulligan that he will not stand for Mulligan stealing his patented hold, the claw.  He promised Blackjack that consequences will come about if he continues to use the hold.

Hope these Invaders do well. Rogers, as Mr. Wonderful, could be dangerous for all of SWCW. Impressive shot by Lawler. Liking the team of Conway and Patterson. I wonder what Mansfield has in mind for Tully. Interesting that Blanchard's claw wasn't mentioned in the finisher match.
 
Great stuff.

Really great work Mickey!  Lawler welcomes the challenge of cousin Carl...Top to bottom everything in SWCW is flowing well...I love the feel here...A must read every time out!
