Doctors are saying that he will be out of action for at least 13 months. Insiders speculate that this could very well be the end of Backlund's active career. So first Rusher Kimura sidelines Paul Orndorff for a month, and now he sidelines Bob Backlund for over a year. I think I will be avoiding him myself, thank you very much.

So who was it? Obviously it wasn't Orndorff, because he has won again. I was thinking Lawler and Flair, but it was a tie, so that's out. I think you said it was definately a single's, so that leaves all the tag teams out. Considering This card, I'm going to go with it being Dory Funk Jr. getting the win on accident. What kind of cookie is it? Did I win it? Or was it too late for me to guess after waiting for another hint? Did I even get the hint right? (Dory looking at retirement paper's for Wahoo, is where I'm getting it from).

[B][U]Wednesday, Week 1, July 1984[/U][/B] Snake Roberts has been suspended for one week for arriving late to Monday's World Championship Wrestling; that makes strike three at Discipline Level 1. In others news, PNW accepted my buy out offer of $2,000,000, and so another one bites the dust. With this, most of the territories have been consolidated under a single entity, making the NWA stronger than ever. The only territories remaining in the United States are the Central States promotion, GCW, AWA, WCCW, and of course the WWF. We are reaching the climax!
