7. Paul Orndorff v. The Menace (Orndorff comes to the ring with a cast on his arm. No, we didn’t miss a sneak attack here.
Apparently, Orndorff is wearing a cast in response to “Ace” Bob Orton, who always wears a cast with the excuse that
he has a nagging ‘injury’, but of course only uses it to cheapshot his opponents. Orndorff is playing Orton’s own game.)
8. Piper’s Pit – King Tonga is supposed to be the guest, but Piper and Orton are preoccupied with Onrdorff’s new cast. They

3. Int – Bruno Sammartino
4. Scott McGee& Cpl. Kirchner v. Mr. X & The Gladiator (Actually, Tony Atlas was announced as Kirchner’s partner
and after Howard Finkel says his name, he waves his hands in confusion and shakes his head in obvious

McGee comes out to sub for Atlas.)

8. The Spider v. Fabulous Moolah (JIP from Madison Square Garden (In what seemed like an upset, the Spider pinned
Richter to win the title. But Richter unmasks her to reveal THE FABULOUS MOOLAH! It turns out that Wendy’s
Contract was up, and Vince wanted her to sign a new contract for less money. Wendy tried to hold out for more money
And Vince responded by not sending out the usual woman that wrestles as the Spider Lady, but by having Moolah put
On the Spider Lady’s costume unbeknownst to Richter and pin her for the Title. Moolah did indeed roll Richter up
Into a small package and Richter attempted to kick out, but Moolah didn’t let her go, and the ref counted to 3. Richter
Couldn’t believe it, and from the look on her face, really appeared to not have any knowledge of what had happened. She
Even attempted to continue the match, but the ref made her stop. Even Howard Finkel sounded confused when he
Announced Moolah as the new champ. “The Fink” hadn’t been tipped off either! Richter never worked for the WWF
Again. )
