Back at the desk, Bill and Boyd review all the action today and tell the fans that Abdullah Butcher & The Sheik will be here next week on AWA Mid-South Championship Wrestling as will Murdoch & Kox. See you next week on Mid-South Wrestling.

Canek beats both Assassins on one show. WOW! Sure hope Percy signs some top tier talent soon. Hart sure can't be happy with his former charge Maeda. I wonder how Jacques and Raymond will fare in MS, as well. I am really pulling for Murdoch and Kox.
 
Good show.
