The first version of this promo that appeared in local newspapers touted an NWA title match with Jack Brisco defending against Blackjack Mulligan. Only thing was, Brisco wasn't world champion; Terry Funk was. So who knows? Anyway, The following promo appeared in local papers the night of the card. Mark Eastridge: I believe this time frame was when Rufus and Blackjack were having their feud because Blackjack had beaten up Rufus' "nephew", Burrhead, in a television match. Note: Greg Valentine's first Greensboro appearance. 9/05/76 Greensboro Coliseum Editor's Note: Notice Flair won his match over Wahoo McDaniel with the assistance of Bolo Mongol. This would set up the famous hair vs. loser-leaves-town match between Wahoo and Bolo later that month in Greensboro. Audio coming soon! 9/26/76 Greensboro Coliseum Mark Eastridge: Wahoo defeated Bolo Mongol and cut off his topknot. Bolo had to leave town. A couple of weeks later, Malenko then brings in his newest wrestler, a former Olympian from "parts unknown", the Masked Superstar. What a great angle to change a wrestler's character! (Bolo and the Masked Superstar were both wrestler Bill Eadie.) 10/16/76 Greensboro Coliseum Mark Eastridge: The night of the title changes. All three titles changed hands on this card. Flair, Jones, & Woods became the new champions! One of my favorite characters on the lower card is Two Ton Harris. Everytime he would get his opponent in a headlock, he would yell to the crowd, "I got him now!". Audio coming soon! 10/31/76 Greensboro Coliseum Mark Eastridge: The family feud begins!!! I'll always remember Ole's TV interviews where he referees to Flair & G. Valentine as a couple of young punks who showed no respect, and he would make reference to Johnny Valentine as Mr. Valentine. This had to be the beginning of one of the best feuds of the year! Also, on this card is the first Greensboro appearance of the (former Bolo Mongol) Masked Superstar. 11/25/76 Greensboro Coliseum Annual Thanksgiving Night Event 12/26/76 Greensboro Coliseum Flair & Valentine win titles from Ole & Gene Anderson
