Lowrance, “With me are Kevin and Kerry Von Erich. Gentlemen, things are going well for the Von Erich family, Kerry is back, you have the World Six Man Titles, and Kevin is the World Champion. However, there are always people waiting in the wings. Many teams want the six man titles, and the World Champion is always a marked man.”
Kevin, “You’re right Marc. Everyone wants a piece of us, but we are used to that. Someone will be named the number one contender, and he’ll be a great wrestler. The six man titles are important, and we’ll wrestle the best.”

Lowrance, “With me are Eric Embry, Steve Simpson and Frankie Lancaster. Gentlemen, you are former six man champions, but there is a lot of talk swirling around. Steve Simpson was injured with a match with Eric Embry, and now you two will meet at ‘Christmas Star Wars’.”
Simpson, “I’ll speak first. Eric and I are friends, but we are also competitors. The injury I suffered was an accident. We do wrestle again, and may the best man win.”
Embry, “That’s right. Steve is a great competitor, but this is business. I didn’t injure him on purpose, it just happened. On Christmas night, I’ll be ready, and so will Steve. The fans are in for a treat.”
All three men shake hands.
Match #5
Six Man Tag Match
Two Out of Three Falls
Eric Embry, Steve Simpson and Frankie Lancaster vs. Jos LeDuc, The Angel of Death and The Missing Link
First Fall-”Devastation Incorporated” are wild men, and can Embry’s team get along? Lancaster and the Angel of Death open the show. The Angel uses his size to control the early action. Lancaster makes a comeback, and the Angel tags in big Jos LeDuc. The Canadien lumberjack pounds away at Frankie. Lancaster is able to tag in Simpson. The young African uses his speed to keep LeDuc at bay. This leads to the crazy Missing Link trying his hand. Embry tags in, and the Light Heavyweight Champion goes to work. In the midst of a pier six brawl, Embry rolls up the Link, and referee David Manning counts the fall.
Winners-Eric Embry, Steve Simpson and Frankie Lancaster
Second Fall-Akbar is livid. He sends his men into the fray, and they take no prisoners. Both teams tag in and out, and it’s survival of the fittest. The Link clears the ring with a series of headbutts. Simpson and the Angel lock up. While LeDuc distracts Manning, Akbar drives his riding crop into Steve’s ribs. LeDuc covers him for the fall.
Winners-Jos LeDuc, The Angel of Death and The Missing Link
Third Fall-It’s all on the line here. Both teams pull out all stops. Embry has success against the Link. Albar sends his men in the ring, and we have a pier six brawl. In the confusion, Simpson goes to the top rope and tries a flying bodypress on the Link. He misses and hits Embry. Akbar shouts for the Link to cover Embry. Manning sees this and counts the fall. What a mistake by Simpson!
Winners-Jos LeDuc, The Angel of Death and The Missing Link
Marc Lowrance closes the show.
Lowrance, “That can’t help the relationship of Embry and Simpson. We will talk more about that next week, and what a main event we have! Dory Funk meets the Great Kabuki. Thst means Baby Doll and Sunshine at ringside.”
