Now for some more tag team action, as Rusty teams with Bob (or Bobby) Wade against the Junkyard Dog and Tito Santana:
1. This bout was taped on Tuesday, March 26, 1985 in Poughkeepsie and aired on Championship the weekend of April 6, 1985.
2. Mr. Wade's on-screen graphic reads "Bob". but Howard announces him as "Bobby".
3. Vince proclaims JYD and Tito as top contenders for the tag title then held by Volkoff and Sheik. That would have been a hell of a match if it had ever been put together, but it wasn't.
They did get a clean victory at MSG against Valentine and Beefcake that could have been used as a reason to give them a title shot once the Dream Team won the belts, but Vince didn't choose to go that way, either.
4, Trunks watch: JYD is in white with a big red "THUMP" across the back, while Tito looks fetching in basic black.
5. At one point in the match, Vince refers to JYD as "Superdog". Throwaway comment or possible marketing idea that went nowhere? You decide.
6, Wade and Brooks actually trap Tito in the corner and begin to tag in and out, just like a good team should do. Vince: "I don't understand (why they would do) that at all."
More to come!
