MID-ATLANTIC TV – 7/28/84 (Here we have a rare, complete episode of Mid-Atlantic TV from the
summer of 1984. Not a ton of classic stuff here, but some fun footage with Wahoo’s
heel turn and Assassin II getting unmasked. Quality on this VG/EX, real nice for the
age and rarity.)
Brian Adidas & Pez Whatley vs Doug Vines & Bob Bass
Announcement of US title being held up (includes a clip of Wahoo McDaniel vs Ricky
Steamboat where Tully Blanchard comes out and tries to hit Wahoo with a chair.
Wahoo ducks and Steamboat gets KO’ed instead. Wahoo covers him, gets the pin,
and the title gets held up. This is a big part of Wahoo turning heel.)
Clip of Wahoo McDaniel vs Ric Flair (Tully Blanchard assists Wahoo, then jumps in and
attacks Flair. Wahoo & Tully then double-team Flair, cementing Wahoo’s heel
turn. Weird to see Tully & Flair feuding.)
Jimmy Valiant vs Beach Boy Harper
Wahoo McDaniel vs Sam Houston (Wahoo uses Tully Blanchard’s finisher here…)
Buzz Sawyer vs Keith Larsen
Clip of Jimmy Valiant unmasking Assassin II (Turns out to be Hercules Hernandez)

turning face)
