12/25/82 Don Owen is in the ring.
Owen, “It's great to be here in Seattle. We love coming to Washington, and you fans are terrific. We have a great show tonight. Everyone wants to see Dusty Rhodes and Harley Race and I want to see Rose and Wiskoski lose the tag team titles. I'm tired of listening to Rose.”
Rose and the Army come down the aisle. The Assassin pushes a wheelbarrow with the Northwest Title and the Northwest Tag Team Titles in it. They climb into the ring.
Owen, “Rose, what are you doing with that wheelbarrow?”
Rose, “Don Owen, we have so many titles, we can't carry them all.”
Owen, “A lot of people think you are going to lose two of them tonight.”
Rose, “That's what fools you and the fans are, plus Savage is just a moron. We didn't want to wrestle Billy Jerk and Stasiak because they don't deserve a title shot, not because we're afraid of them. We have to wrestle them, so now we're going to end their careers.”
Owen, “Rose, I don't like you, but the fans keep showing up to see if you get yours, so I'm excited about tonight. You're going to get yours.”
Rose, “That's what you think. We are going to keep these titles and Savage is the one that's going to get his.”
