We will have more on that PPV later on in the hour today.
But first, manager James J. Dillon is on his way out here to with a special announcement. JJ is accompanied by Tully Blanchard. Dillon says he has studied these tag teams in the NWA & has signed a team that will bring the World Tag Team Titles to the JJ Dillon Dynasty. He introduces former World's Tag Team Champs, the Minnesota Wrecking Crew (Gene & Ole Anderson). The Andersons join them with Ole doing most of the talking for him & Gene. Ole reminds everyone they were the first NWA World Tag Team Champions & with JJ as their manager they will be wearing those belts in a ust a short time. Gene adds that Lars made them soft but now that he is gone, things are like they should be. JJ reminds everyone that Tully is looking for a title whether it be the World's Heavyweight Belt or the United States Heavyweight Belt. Dillon says the Dynasty has business to take care of on TV today.
