Sgt Slaughter and Don Kernodle were the reigning champs and this is a squash match on WTBS. The squash team they beat in this match included a very young Ravishing Rick Rude (or Rood as he was known then) an unknown kid in the blue trunks. This match was a chance for the announcers to push the tag title match at a big card in Greensboro called "Final Conflict". The champs would face their #1 rivals Ricky Steamboat and Jay Youngblood in a cage. This card was covered in the first issue of Pro Wrestling Illustrated I ever bought.
