A young Savage venturing away from Dad's promotion, losing in what I assume was a studio squash. Pretty strong for what it is, lots of talent on that card. Randy's dad and Lanny both worked the home promotion that same day.

Posting this mostly just for that main event. Trying to imagine a promo-off between Da Crusha and Lord Al.
This Super Destroyer was Jardine/Spoiler.

I think these Interns were Roger Smith and Don Bass. Nightmares were Davis and Wayne. Daydreamers were Steve Constance and Tim Ashley.
A Sharpe/Valiant match seems...loud. Very loud.
Gilbert/Lawler was pretty early in their rivalry. Wonder if it holds up to their later stuff.

Seems like a pretty stacked card not to have a location attached to it. Wonder why Adams worked twice. Stretching the Midnights/Fantastics out over two matches, and separating the 'Birds into two matches kinda stretches this card a bit thinner than it appears. I need to track down some Gordy/Link videos.
