2. Rick Steiner (w/ Missy Hyatt) vs Paul Brown
3. Ricky Steamboat vs Ric Flair (highlights, from Clash of the Champions VI)
4. INT: Dennis L. Guthrie - as Flair’s lawyer he is ordering the NWA to arrange a rematch between Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat to take place within 30 days, due to the fact that Flair’s leg was clearly under the rope and outside the ring.  Guthrie says that if the NWA do not grant the rematch then he will be filing a lawsuit against the NWA, Ted Turner, Jim Herd and Steamboat himself.  He also states that should a remath be granted, Flair wants a second referee outside the ring who has the power to overrule the in ring official.
