JR : Hello folks are are back on the air . Unfortunately we had to postpone last week’s Telecast. However we are here tonight in Thakerville Oklahoma. Here at the Wind Star Casino. It’s Friday night and we are in the air here on HBO and Max . It’s the Final Four of our HBOMAX Television Tag Team Tournament. A few folks are absent tonight . The NWA World Heavyweight Champion Kerry Von Erich and big brother David are not here this evening . Both are in London . David at a convention to raise money for the Red Cross through the Princess Diana Memorial Foundation. Kerry of course defending his title tomorrow night in London , but will be making an appearance at the charity tonight . Our cameras caught up with Kerry just before he boarded a private jet. Let’s take you now to the World Heavyweight Champion .
VTR : It looks like everyone is coming after me . Which is exactly what I expected . They say I’m tired from the Bash tour and I might be easy to pick off . They might be right . When I look at this NWA World Heavyweight Championship though something runs through me . This is the title that my dad wanted and never could get . This is the title that my brothers and I dreamed about . So you guys want to come wrestle me for it , come right ahead . Brody it starts with you tomorrow night . I ain’t backing up or slowing down . I’m coming right at you big man . HBK you say I have nightmares about you ? Buddy , I have nightmares about everybody . Brody , Koloff , Andre , Flair , Rhodes , Gordy and yes you . Probably the greatest in ring talent ever , but it’s the nightmares that keep me going . Keep me striving . Come on , cash in anytime . I’ll be ready .
