Marlin calls out the Fabulous Ones and the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express. Marlin tells the teams
**there can only be one winner;

**one member of two teams start in the ring and anyone can be tagged in by anyone else;

**if you fail to accept a tag, you and your partner will be disqualified;

**the last person left in the ring wins the tag team titles for his team through pinfall or submission. (C+, 68)

Game News
--Stanley Blackburn has apparently retired and left the business. Too bad he can’t continue screwing people out of winning and keeping the AWA title.

--The Spoiler’s contract is up and he is a freelancer so he will walk after his contract is up with no hard feelings. As with Bundy and Steamboat, I tried to give six-month contracts when negotiations began three months ago but they thought it was too long and wanted something shorter. Perhaps I can get them back when I hit ‘Cult’.

--I request negotiations with the WWF champion, Don Muraco, the NWA US champion, Greg Valentine, the Florida heavyweight champion, Barry Windham, and Ted Dibiase. It is time to be a little more aggressive.
