The team of Bassarab and DK worked fluently together as Bassarab got into the business being trained by DK amongst others at Stampede, and emulating his style. With Davey Boy Smith still out with a concussion, many had to wonder if this new pairing could possibly replace the British Bulldogs.

**Muraco just squashed Bronsky, as the champ is on a real roll now. The fans were extremely upset at Muraco winning the title over the beloved Vendetta, and the match was delayed starting by over 20 minutes as the fans littered the ring with debris. Finally thanks to some words by Jim Brunzell over the mic, and the threat by Baron von Raschke to cancel the match, the Bronsky - Muraco match happened. No one ever explained why Vendetta was not here to receive a title rematch tonight.
