Match #2 Stan Hansen vs Riki Choshu This had more exchange of holds/mat work than any Hansen match I have ever seen! I am dumbfounded! Both men started out slow and cautious.With neither man gaining any prolonged advantage early! Choshu went after the lariat arm of Hansen, Hansen focused on the legs of Choshu to weaken his Scorpion Death Lock. Hansen used a leg dive and scissored the leg of Choshu. Riki countered by working and turning that into a leg scissors on the arm of Hansen. Stan got a hold of Riki's Ankle and began to grind at it until after several minutes he got under the ropes and the ref made them break. "I went to a Hansen/Choshu fight and a wrestling match broke out!" stan wuth a bodyslam and an elbow drop after a count of 2 he snapmare's Choshu and grabs a outside toe hold and drops knees to the thigh of Choshu. Who counters by grabbing Hansen's arm and applying a version of an arm scissors. Hansen escapes after dropping a knee across Choshu's face. Hansen whips his foe in and hits a elbow smash! When he tries a second one choshu reverses and hits his own elbow. Choshu then leg dives Stan and goes for the Scorpion. The crowd pops big for this. Hansen counters by grabbing the free arm of Choshu and wrenching it until he lets go of the hold and Hansen starts driving knees into his forearm and shoulder. Hansen keeps the wristlock until Riki kicks him off and gets a leg scissors. Stan manages to break the hold by kicking Choshu to the floor. Riki comes back in the ring and then the fight stars! Hansen charges in the corner Choshu moves and Stan goes vaulting over the top rope. Riki goes outside and Stat whips him into the ringpost back first! Hansen goes for his lariat and Choshu ducks and Hansen hits his arm on the post. Riki clamps on the arm scissors once again. Hansen powers out and hits a elbow smash that sends Choshu to the floor. Hansen with a suolex from the outside in. He goes for a big splash but Choshu gets his knees up, He then hits a Lariat of his one that sends Hansen to the floor! Ted DiBiase comes to ringside he was Hansen's tag partner at this time. Hansen gets back in the ring and goes on the offense in a major way. He counters a backdrop attempt with a stiff kick. Hits a elbow and a dropkick. It continues with a piledriver and more elbows. The he hits Choshu with 2 lariats! but no pin attempt. he throws his adversary outside when he returns Hansen hits a big boot and sets up for a standing Lariat. Choshu drops out of the way and Stan smashes the ref! chaos reigns as Dibiase and Killer Khan who was in chousu's corner, begin to brawl! The ref rings the bell Choshu wins on a DQ I normally hate that finish but iI get this one. you don"t want to beat either man and it was very entertaining!

Memphis TV 4/5/86 The big angle on this show was "The Bill and Buddy Show" As Dundee and Landell came out and said since Lance Russell,Who Dundee Slapped last week, refused to talk to them they were going to do thier own show. They did just that The bought from the back their own commentary desk with The Bill and buddy show on the front of it!  Dundee stood out as he did really funny side heel commentary! As in when Joe Luduc wrestled a handicapped match Dundee said he was real strong for a Canadian dumb goof! And that Joe was tough but not as tough as them! This little stunt came to a head when Lawler/Mantell came out to wrestle the Rose Brothers! Dundee and Landell were hurling insults galore ate the king and dutchmen. To the point where Lawler and Mantell were distracted and got counted out of the ring. Dundee and Landell thought this was great and loved it! That all came to a halt when the "faces came back from the back with chairs and destroyed the Bill and Buddy table!Memphis had simple well told angles! In other action new International champ Billy Travis came out for a interview and was attacked from the backside with a garbage can by former champ Abdul Kadaffi. In the Leduc handicapped match there was a scary bump. One job guy was already on the floor so big Joe takes the other presses him overhead and throws him outside on his partner. When he does the guy sent fling leg smashes his partner in the head!  the crowd popped! In other action the Mod Squad and Memphis Vice won tag bouts.
