LANCE RUSSELL & DAVE BROWN
Bullet Points:
*Mid-America Champion, Tommy Rich, sustained a neck injury from the Double Cross Gang and is now forced to wear a neckbrace. Whether or not he will be able to remain Mid-America Champion is unknown.
*Lance welcomes Championship Wrestling from Florida to the AWA. He hopes to work with his old friend, Gordon Solie, real soon.
*Jerry Jarrett is working hard to secure dates on AWA World Champion, Jerry Lawler. His schedule is so hectic he hasn’t been able to come “home” in quite some time.
*Jarrett has also tried to discover the identity of the person issuing the bounties, but all he has discovered is even more bounty posters.
NATURE BOY RIC FLAIR
Bullet Points:
*Is glad CWF is in the AWA. Maybe Eddie Graham can fly some competition for him up to Memphis.
*Has been told that CWF’s Southern Champion, Greg Valentine, has been running his mouth about the Nature Boy.
*He has fought with Valentine and against Valentine and he, and most importantly Greg, knows that Valentine isn’t in his league.
*Flair may have to travel South to teach his old “friend” a few lessons.
*Flair will make short work of Stan Lane Monday Night.
  
THE DOUBLE CROSS GANG
Bullet Points:
*$15,000 richer for hurting Tommy Rich.
*Funks want a shot at the Zambuie Express and the Southern Titles Monday Night.
*Hansen comments that if Tommy Rich were any kind of a man, he would shake of that little injury and face him in the ring today for the Mid-America Title.
*Rich comes out in a neckbrace and accepts the challenge, against the advice of CWA officials and his friends.
THE FABULOUS ONES
Bullet Points:
*Frustrated that the Zambuie Express keeps getting counted out in their matches.
*Taking a break from the Express this week and each will seek singles gold.
*Steve Keirn will face Randy Savage for the International Title.
*Stan Lane will face Ric Flair for the Southern Title Monday night.
  
THE FIRST FAMILY
Bullet Points:
*Hart states that in a couple of weeks, the newest member of the First Family will be here.
*Savage dismisses Keirn as a tag team wrestler and says he won’t even break a sweat against ½ of the Fabs.
*Bundy shouts that he wants some of the bounty money that is floating around. Maybe he will start with Mantell on Monday.
   
DUTCH MANTELL, AUSTIN IDOL, JIMMY VALIANT, & BILL DUNDEE
Bullet Points:
*Mantell contends that no one will collect a bounty on his head, especially Bundy.
*Idol is concerned that all of their guys are being put out with bounties. He suggests that they start collecting on some bounties as well.
*Valiant wishes Dream Machine and Eddie Gilbert well and hope they have a speedy recovery.
*Dundee is worried that Rich is making a big mistake facing Hansen today for the Mid-America Title. He says he will be watching the match very closely.
