Chavo, Hector, & Mando Guerrero vs. Gary Young, El Pistolero Texano, & Phil Hickerson:
The following tune brings the Guerreros to the ring..
A fast paced, back and forth battle sees Chavo pin Hickerson after a moonsault. On commentary, Mercer does a good job of getting the Guerreros over as international stars.
MERCER: Recently, a press conference was held here at the Sportatorium regarding the return of World Class Championship Wrestling. Things went smoothly until Eric Embry showed up uninvited. Let's see what happened!
VTR:
MERCER: It's also great to have our Texas Champion Superstar Bill Dundee back! Any comments from the Texas Champion?
DUNDEE: Just let me say that I'm proud to be your Texas Champion and I'm not the biggest in the world, but nobody in wrestling fights harder than the Superstar! I don't care how big and bad they are, just bring 'em on, jack and the Superstar will give 'em the fight of their life!
OFF CAMERA VOICE: This is just great! You invite that sawed off Australian, but not me!
DUNDEE: What are you doin here?
ERIC EMBRY IS IN THE RING!
EMBRY: It's real simple, man! I'm here to demand respect! Everybody knows that I'm the uncrowned Texas Champion, but I ain't got the belt! You ripped me off last time, Dundee and I want a rematch!
DUNDEE: (standing) I'll give you your stinkin rematch! You be here on November 25th and we'll get it on, you loudmouth! Or we can clear the furniture outta the ring and do it now!
MERCER: And that's how this week's Main Event came about! We'll see that exciting Texas Title match later on the program!

VTR: Bill Mercer is standing beside of a jacuzzi. Austin Idol is in the jacuzzi while Big John Studd stands ominously in the background....
MERCER: I'm here at the luxurious home of the American Champion Austin Idol, the man known as “The Universal Heartthrob”. Mr. Heartthrob, for the fans out there who may not be familiar with you, what can they expect from the American Champion?
IDOL: They can expect greatness. I am known worldwide as “the ladies' pet and the men's regret”. That means every man fears me and every woman wants this lucious body! They can expect the greatest wrestler alive today! They can expect a fearless champion who will meet and defeat any and all competition! Next week, on your TV program, I will enter the ring at the famed Dallas Sportatorium and have an open invitational challenge! Any wrestler in either dressing room is welcome to come down and try Austin Idol next week! Any wrestler! That includes Chief Wahoo! Chris Adams! Super Runt Dundee! Any Guerrero brother! Mil Mascaras! If old man Fritz Von Erich thinks he has one more match in him, let him bring it on, darlin!
MERCER: Will the title be on the line?
IDOL: Of course not! What if some unworthy slob comes down the aisle? Or some rookie that I take apart in two minutes flat? That would devalue the championship! I won't do that!
MERCER: OK, I have to ask about the large individual who seems to be standing guard back here...
IDOL: Bill Mercer, are you a gambler? I come from Las Vegas and I am a gamblin man! A good gambler always has a hole card! That man is Big John Studd, the only true giant in the sport today! He's 6'10, 365 pounds! He can step over the top rope with ease! He cannot be bodyslammed! Next week, there will be a Battle Royal on this program and I have already paid John's entry fee! He will show the world just how big and bad he is! When you are Austin Idol, you have enemies and this man watches my back! President Reagan has the Secret Service and I have Big John Studd! Together, we fear nothing or nobody!
Chris Adams vs. Killer Brooks:
Brooks is pacing the ring as we hear...
Adams gets a huge ovation from the Dallas fans as he enters the Sportatorium!
The Killer attacks at the bell and beats the “ Gentleman from England” all over the ring! Adams attempts several comebacks, but it's all Brooks. Adams surprises the rugged brawler from Waxahachie with a superkick out of nowhere to score the comeback win. After the match, Mark Lowrance enters the ring to speak with Adams...
LOWRANCE: Chris, congratulations on a very impressive win! World Class is back and you're back, too! What are your plans in this exciting new era of World Class?
ADAMS: Mark, first and foremost, my goal is the American Title! Austin Idol is a great wrestler and he has a win at all costs attitude just like Gino and I had a few years ago! He also has a huge man named John Studd to back him up! All of that's true, but you and these wonderful fans here in Dallas know me! When I set my mind on a goal, I usually get the job done! Austin Idol, I won't stop until I win that belt for myself and all of my beautiful fans here in Texas!
LOWRANCE: The Texas Title is on the line next!

LOWRANCE: If you've been a wrestling fan for any length of time, you recognize this gentleman! He is Chief Wahoo McDaniel! It's great to see you back here with World Class! I'm curious and I'm sure that the fans are about your plans here...
WAHOO: Mark, World Class has a lot to offer right now! There's the American Title held by Austin Idol, a guy that I've never had a lot of use for! We're about to see two great athletes wrestle for the Texas Title! I'd definitely want a shot at the winner! The tag champions are my old enemies, the Funks! I have some old scores to settle areound here, too! Paul Jones and I had wars all over the East Coast and now, he's here in World Class and he's managing what amounts to a freak show with Kabuki, Missing Link, the Moondog, and the Iron Sheik! Then there's “Ragin Bull” Manny Fernandez! Manny, you jerk, I still owe you some payback! I also have some young men that are like sons to me wrestling here: Mark & Chris Youngblood!There's one more big reason for me to be here, but I promised Fritz Von Erich not to talk about that right now! All the wrestling fans need to know is that Wahoo is here and wherever I go, there's action!
MARK: He mentioned the Texas Title match and that's next!
Texas Title Match: Superstar Bill Dundee © vs. Eric Embry: The tone of this match was set early as Embry attacked Dundee before he could remove his sequined jumpsuit! This was an all out brawl. Referee David Manning was knocked out in a three way collision and Embry took full advantage by pulling out a chain anf flattening Dundee! Embry tosses the chain out of the ring and revives the referee. Embry covers the Superstar! One...two...THREE!!! ERIC EMBRY IS THE NEW TEXAS CHAMPION!
