(Arn Anderson retained the Heavyweight Title.)

Arn Anderson retains the title as Jim Cornette interjected by actually entering the ring with his tennis racket in hand as Tommy Young called for the bell.  

JJ Dillon is in the ring.. and as Cornette winds up to hit Arn with the racket, JJ grabs it!  JJ swings at Cornette, but he's jumped out of the ring and is hiding behind Dennis Condrey at ringside.

Arn Anderson is holding the title and pointing to it as he is mouthing that Dennis never had a chance tonight.  Join us again next week as our main event features The Original Ishingun taking on the Rock N Roll Express for the Tag Team Titles.

Until next time, so long everybody!

No Randy Rose, as this is the roster (or somewhat the roster) of the NWA from approx. 1984.  Rose and Eaton (I think)  teamed somewhere prior to that in the Alabama territory before Condrey was brought in to replace Rose.  Then Dangerously paired Condrey and Rose as the Original Midnights in the AWA battling the Midnight Rockers (Jannetty and Michaels), Dangerously then brought the originals in to the NWA to fight with the Cornette version of Eaton and Lane's Midnights.  

And Sheepherders vs Fantastics is perfect for this time period as they were in Mid-South as opposed to the NWA.

Those poor Russkies!  They get no respect!  It's a shame, too.  The writing is on the wall for them, and I'm pretty sure it says "Welcome to Jobberville Population: You."

In Cyrillic.  So it'd be more like:
"BeлкoM тy жoББoрвил пoпyлaтeн: У"

Or thereabouts.
