The New World deal in '94 must have been a blessing in disguise for CBS, if this is the best that one of their affiliates in a Top 10 market can do in the 6 AM hour!

Oh yeah - Atlanta, a rare market with not one, but two unwanted network content dumping grounds (14 and 69).

Either it was a repeat of the match whose telecast began before the broadcasting day, or it was one of many "interstitial" series that TBS used as time fillers.
 
I'm sure it was a time-filler, just like "Ton of Fun," wherein
Turner would fill five to fifteen extra minutes with a cartoon
or two. It sounds like a match between one of GCW's superstars
and a ham-and-egger that probably lasted not more than a few
seconds.
