Bill Watts says it's only because he dominated Magnum TA last week and knows he can beat him.
Reed defends against Magnum, but they bring out JYD as special referee. JYD basically beats Reed for Magnum. All Magnum does is cover him for the three count. Way to bury a guy you just gave a belt to I'm thinking.
But wait, the burial is not done. To end the show, Dugan and Magnum defend their tag belts against Reed and Jim Neidhart. Reed pins Magnum clean to win the titles.
Magnum came out of this show looking worse than ever, but now holding the territory's top singles belt.
Two weeks later, Mid-South strips the title from Nikolai Volkoff (that's right, Magnum had already lost the title) because the Reed/Magnum match was not sanctioned and gives the belt back to Butch Reed.
In the very next segment Butch Reed is to face JYD with a special referee. They're holding a ref's shirt in the ring and Watts says "Let's see who this shirt fits". Dusty Rhodes comes out. The shirt does not fit him. He doesn't even attempt to put it on.
JYD wins the title. 4 different champions within 2 days.
Next match features Jim Neidhart with a tag team partner other than Reed and no tag belt. This show is almost confusing. Not to mention Watts can't seem to pronounce the names of anyone he hires correctly. Neidhart is pronounced Needhart.
