This new batch from Topeka is a quick look at the Central States talent roster changeover following Jim Crockett Promotions' infusion of money and promotional ideas. As the crew from the Carolinas arrives, most of the local talent vanishes except for the cockroach qualities of Rufus R. Jones and especially Bulldog Bob Brown. Even Dusty Rhodes "breaking Brown's leg" to allow him to return briefly to Winnipeg only lasts a month before he's back and riding the wave out till Crockett pulls up the tent poles in February 1987.
