Tony Schiavone and David Crockett welcome us to this week’s edition of World Championship Wrestling. Before they even get to the introduction, 24 Karat appears from the locker room and walk onto the interview set. JJ Dillon wants to know why the NWA Board hasn’t signed a championship match for his team of Bob Orton Jr. and Ray Stevens. David responds with they haven’t earned it yet. They don’t even have regular tag team matches together. JJ laughs at this, stating they are 24 Karat, only the best in the business. They don’t have to jump through the same hoops the other wrestlers do. David corrects him and says that’s exactly what they have to do. If they want to get a title shot, they need to team on a regular basis, or it will never happen. JJ just looks at David with disgust as Tully pulls JJ away and heads to the ring. The rest of 24 Karat walk behind him.

We head to commercial as the announcers wonder if Magnum can compete in the scheduled title defense.

We return to the ring with Bob Orton Jr. in the ring with JJ Dillon. Tony climbs into the ring and they demand to be awarded the match AND the title right now. Tony says that they can’t make that demand. JJ says he certainly can, and he demands the title to be handed to Bob Orton Jr. “Superstar” Graham walks to the ring and climbs in. He says he will take Magnum’s spot in this match. JJ says no, he isn’t scheduled for this match. He isn’t the champion. “Superstar” says that he will defend the title for Magnum right now. JJ tries to say no, but Tommy Young steps in and agrees to the change. He tells JJ it’s either this, or the match is cancelled. JJ argues, but eventually agrees.

  • 2 weeks later...

I love this Flair vs OMG pairing... to me it has some real legs and helps Flair get the babyface pop which in real life at this time he was doing well I believe.

 

I don't know how much the Crippler has left, but Magnum TA is getting a serious rub out of all of it.

 

Then you've got the Ragin Bull who has got a serious upside at this point in his career.

 

Keep doing work!
