Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Champion Dory Funk Jr. & Jake Roberts (w/ Paul Jones) defeated Brett Hart & Mike Davis at 7:49 when Hart submitted to Funk’s spinning toe hold; Jones joined Bob Caudle and Mike Rotundo on commentary for the match, with Rotundo leaving the announce area mid-way through the bout; after the match, NWA Tag Team Champions Jack & Jerry Brisco came out, with Jack saying Ricky Steamboat had to use karate to knock out his brother earlier in the show but karate never beat a real wrestler; after they left, Jones showed off the giant poster of himself that would go to the winner of his contest; Jones then asked for Caudle to call out Rhonda Manning from Tampa, Fla., the winner of the contest; Rhonda was then brought out of the crowd and hugged and kissed Jones before he yelled at her, reminding her that she won the poster but not him; Jones then said “I could have picked a redneck around here if I wanted a redneck;” as Jones continued to insult her, Rufus R. Jones came out, told Jones to respect the woman and that women aren’t treated like that where he comes from; Jones said, “Where you come from, you’re going right back,” slapped Rufus and then held Rhonda between he and Rufus; Rufus eventually threw Jones into the ring and went after his tuxedo until he was triple teamed by Jones, Roberts & Funk and was whipped with his own belt; Bob Orton Jr. finally ran into the ring to make the save and tend to Rufus
