Back at the desk, Bill & Boyd run down today's action and reminds the fans to tune in next week for more AWA Mid-South Championship Wrestling.

The Rougeaus will be tough to beat. i wonder how Murdoch and kox will wrestle when they get around to facing them. Hunter has brought in two grizzled vets. It will only be a matter of time. Be careful. Hart has been put in a corner.
 
Good stuff.
