Comments: what we have here is basically a clash of wrestling styles; the more quicker and athletic style [Youngblood & Steamboat] vs. the more slower and methodical [The Briscoe's; Jack & Jerry Briscoe,] both very technical in what they bring to the table.

Now because I have made reference to this more than once throughout this pay-per-view I will take a slightly different approach, Solie keeps saying suplex wrong in some fashion and it is irritating me. This is where the slightly different approach comes into it where to be kind to him kind of if it was a complicated move like a Hurricanrana to say [ yes just for the record I have spent the last 15 minutes, trying to say this wrestling move wrong and even with my brain damage I can't say it wrong.] My point being is because of this timeframe in history this would be considered a possibly/speculation on my part and exotic move, so I would be a little bit more lenient if somehow he didn't get it quite right, yes I would still pick up on this but probably just make a passing observation/comment. But I really don't like how he says suplex [souplay or soufflé or anything like this or anything like this] whilst I am here could Solie be a little bit more specific on which Briscoe is in the ring at that specific time more consistently, you just uses their last name and I just find it really lazy commentary, I mean Caudle says their full name or tell them apart and yes I know the difference between these two Jack is the much taller one and Jerry isn't the tall one. If you get confused on which one I am talking about watch the aftermath of this match and yes I would regard this as a botch as well at some point you will see Mosca trying to intercept Jack from the top turnbuckle and it is one of those occasions where  you get the feeling of " Okay maybe, just maybe this wasn't such a good idea."] Because Jack is so tall and Mosca isn't a small man, but in this case I don't know if he didn't catch him properly or Jack is just a big man, but Mosca crumbles under the weight of Jack; Jack partially lands on his brother as well, breaking up is figure four leglock on Steamboat Mosca roles over so Jack is now on the mat [basically if you use a little bit of imagination at this whole transaction between these two wrestlers it just looks like an extremely dodgy spinebuster gone very, very wrong but I digress] Mosca and Jack break kayfabe after many replays they say something to each other [I can only see Mosca mouthing something] and they go on the fly for a second so they can quickly link back into the script.

Basic Result: your new NWA World Tag Team Champions Jay Youngblood & Ricky Steamboat

Briefly things to know: this entire section feels incredibly messy and they are rushing to squeeze everything in that they should have allocated some time to these things instead of focusing on the main event match. Don't get me wrong I understand why they focused so much time to the main event match, because they wanted to give it a big-time feel and they have done that with excellent building up, but all I am saying is the consequence of that is basically what we have here or what they could have done is grab a word with the winners of their match after their match.

* Gordon Solie: over these celebrations of this championship change, he highlights the hard work that goes into making this pay-per-view with credit on-screen.

* Bob Caudle building our next and final match come on our main event and makes reference to having new Tag Team Champions.

* Tony Schiavone: continues to build up the match from the locker room [the camera spans across to Schiavone] interviews/promo segments the following; the new NWA Television Champion "From Out of Town"/"Down Town" Charlie Brown; next in the same location, Hyper" Roddy Piper and the new NWA World Tag Team Champions Jay Youngblood & Ricky Steamboat.

* Bob Caudle & Gordon Solie: continuing to build up to the main event, the fallout of the previous match and Piper. They tried to hand it over to Barbara Clary, but she isn't ready yet so they buy her some time, in wrestling terminology they put her over will a shout out to some of the fans watching tonight and they talk about Carlos Colon vs. Abdullah the Butcher, they move on to talking about "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes and finally they can hand things over to Clary.

* Barbara Clary: interviews "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes with some fans and their predictions on the main event match.

* Bob Caudle & Gordon Solie: continuing to build up to the main event, where Caudle calls this steel cage match a chain-link fence. Wrong it is a Steal Cage Match I have never heard of a Chain-link Fence Match, well so far in my lifetime give it time and I am sure Mr McMahon will come up with a concept like this or who knows you he may steal this wording from this pay-per-view.

* Tom Miller: ring announcer, it is time for the American national anthem sung by James” TINY” Week. Then Miller his thing with either technical issues that means he repeats himself as it relates to the stipulations of this match or gets our Special Guest Referee wrong so he repeats it to get it right; our Special Guest Referee is Gene Kiniski.
