Interviews:
-Bob Armstrong and Ron Fuller say they are friends despite the fact that they fought each other following the battle royal last week. They compliment each other and both say it would be a pleasure to wrestle each other again. Armstrong says that he doesn’t have an opponent for tonight in Birmingham, but he will wrestle anyone who signs a contract. Lester Welch comes out and says that Sonny King actually has signed a contract for his newest find to face Armstrong, but Welch is clueless to who that man is.
-Sonny King says that his newest client is known around the world and is a second generation wrestler. He says his man is ready for the Bullet and will be there tonight at the Boutwell. When asked who his charge is, King just laughs and says you all will see tonight.
-Terry Taylor and Brad Armstrong say that they are young, but believe they can beat the Grapplers. They say they will prove it today on TV and if they win, tonight in Birmingham they get their chance at the belts. The young team says that they are quicker than the Grapplers and that quickness could be the key to an upset victory.
-Robert Fuller and Jimmy Golden invade the set uninvited. They tell the TV audience that they are back and Ron, Bullet, and Olympia will pay for running them off months back. They warn Armstrong and Olympia that they want the hardware that was stolen from them. Golden challenges Olympia for tonight in Birmingham.
-Don Carson says that Armstrong and Taylor may be good one day, but right now they are just young punks. He says the Grapplers are going to hurt Armstrong and Taylor and make them pay for their youthful ignorance. He adds that they two got lucky in a non-title match, but when the belts are on the line, it will be a different story.
-Mr. Olympia says he has beaten both Fuller and Golden before and he will do it again. Tonight, he will start with Golden. The masked man adds that if Fuller sticks his nose in the match, Olympia is ready to smash it. Olympia says that times have changed since Fuller and Golden were last in CCW and they will learn soon enough that the good guys have each other’s backs.
