In fact once Bryant ducks a back elbow, Oswald gets caught with a clothesline and he’s pinned at 5:31. Bryant tries to dictate the pace with armbars and headlocks throughout the match. Russell points out that Oswald has been bending the rules as of late.

If Sputnik wants Tojo and his protégé Jerry Jarrett, he needs to come meet them in the ring. Tojo gets on the mic and tells Sputnik got paid more than he was worth. The tape goes crazy and we never hear how much Sputnik was paid. Sputnik did exactly what he was supposed to do by keeping Danny Davis out of the match. He says they brought in Sputnik Monroe to help out in their match against the Blonde Bombers and Danny Davis. We hear the other side of the story from Jerry Jarrett and Tojo Yamamoto. Russell tells us that Sputnik has been hired by the Manchurians to handle Jarrett and Tojo. Anyways, classic promo here from Sputnik. Sounds like he’s got somebody backing him to fight Jarrett and Tojo Yamamoto now. He’s a diamond ring and a Cadillac man with expensive habits. Memphis legend Sputnik Monroe is now working as a manager and he’s got some words for Jerry Jarrett on what sounds like a bad payoff. Dundee stops by to let us know ALL HELL will break loose. There will be a “strap on a pole chicken wire” match between Jimmy Valiant and Superstar Bill Dundee against Killer Karl Krupp and Paul Ellering. This was a fine finish though to heat things up between these two guys as they will be feuding throughout the circuit. (6:02) Memphis had been treating Fergie pretty well since he arrived on the scene including southern heavyweight title matches with Ellering on some spot shows. As Fergie continues his comeback, El Mongol throws him over the top rope for the DQ. Fergie knocks Mongol off the top rope and hammers him down in the corner. When Fergie stands up, Mongol thumbs in the throat and chokes the stew out of him according to Dave Brown. He applies a nerve hold to put Fergie on the mat. El Mongol is all about chops to the throat as well. Fergie grabs an armbar and switches over to a headlock, but El Mongol pulls the hair and chops him up against the ropes. El Mongol complains about hair pulling as Fergie controls with hiptosses and such. He now has El Mongol and Killer Karl Krupp. Jimmy Hart has added to his First Family since we last visited Memphis. If that were true, I believe his name should actually be El Mongolo. So El Mongol is from Mongolia by way of Tijuana, I suppose. Can’t tell if the video quality is bad or if the lights have been dimmed in the studio. Your hosts are Lance Russell and Dave Brown.
