CAPTAIN LOU ALBANO SAYS THE SAMOANS

ARE THE TOUGHEST TEAM IN WRESTLING

Captain Lou Albano is quite

pleased with his team of The

Samoans. Like so many times in

the past, the controversial

manager-wrestler has taken a

couple of rough wrestlers, and

molded them into championship

calibre.

Albano says The Samoans are

the roughest and toughest team he

has ever had in his stable, and that

is saying quite a bit! The Captain

says there simply isn't another

combination around who can beat

his boys, he predicted that The

Samoans will reign as W.W.F. Tag

Team Champions for a long long

time.

Albano has also made it known

that he is glad that he is no longer

associated with Pat Patterson. He

would like nothing better than to

see The Samoans injure Patterson

and run him out of the W.W.F. The

Captain says it will be his pleasure

to don the tights himself and give

Patterson a few ring matters.

Knowing Pat the way I do, I'm

sure he too will relish getting his

hands on Albano.

HARLEY RACE SAYS HE IS THE TOP WRESTLER

IN THE ENTIRE WORLD TODAY

N.W.A. World’s Heavyweight Champion

Harley Race has invaded the W.W.F. and has

made his intentions perfectly clear, “I want

to wrestle Bob Backlund to prove to one and

all that I am the only champion in this sport.

I’ve wrestled all over the globe defending my

belt, and now I’ve come to Backlund’s own

backyard to show the east coast wrestling

fans why I am recognized as the greatest

champion in the history of the sport.

Everywhere I go I wrestle the top

contenders, and I guess Bob Backlund is the

top contender to my world’s title here in the

W.W.F. area. I want to face him, and if I get

this opportunity I am sure that when the

match is over, I will still be the reigning

National Wrestling Alliance World’s

Heavyweight Champion.”

LARRY ZBYSZKO - BRUNO SAMMARTINO FEUD

IS GETTING HOTTER AND HOTTER EVERYDAY

The Larry Zbyszko-Bruno Sammartino

feud seems to grow hotter and hotter as the

warm summer months rapidly approach.

Most recently "The Living Legend Of

Wrestling" ran into the ring to pull Zbyszko

off of Arnold Skaaland after "The Golden

Boy" had come into the ring in an effort to

protect young Rick McGraw.

The sight of a charging Sammartino sent

Larry scurrying from the ring, and for this

reason Bruno was not able to get his hands on

his nemesis. Afterward Sammartino,

speaking to Vince McMahon Jr. stated, "I

will not rest until I get that man in the ring. I

have a score to settle and I am determined to

do it inside these ropes. I want to meet him

inside a cage; just him and I. Then, he won't

be able to run. Hopefully I will get this

opportunity, this is the only thing that I

want."

KEN PATERA SAYS THAT HE WILL DEFEAT BOB

BACKLUND AND CAPTURE THE W.W.F. TITLE

“Bob Backlund, you are one lucky ———.

I am the true master of the wrestling world. I

had you beaten! You were battered, bruised

on the verge of defeat, but you pulled out one

dirty move after another. I’ll give you the

match in Madison Square Garden, but you

know, I know, and everyone else throughout

the wrestling world knows that your day is

coming soon! And it will be me, Ken Patera

who will send you down to defeat.”
