I think 1982 is right; I saw much of the same crew sans Wanz three days later in Green Bay. The ID for me is Larry Hennig, who had been inactive/retired for much of the previous three or four years.

Larry did some reffing and wrestling on the next card or two in Winnipeg after that in 1982 as well.
