THE ISLANDERS: HAKU & TAMA beat STEVE DOLL & JOHNNY GUNN when Haku pins Gunn following a savate kick.
JIMMY “SUPERFLY” SNUKA beats RANDY COLLEY by pinfall following the Superfly Splash.
MR. SAITO & BIG VAN VADER (w/General Skandor Akbar) defeat RON SIMMONS & ICEMAN KING PARSONS when Vader pins Parsons following a splash from the second rope. Parsons took a horrendous beating during the match, and had to be taken from the ring on a stretcher!
TERRY TAYLOR pins RIP “THE CRIPPLER” OLIVER following the diving forearm smash.
AWA World Tag Team champions DICK SLATER & OLE ANDERSON (w/ Sgt. Slaughter) defeat “MANIAC” MATT BORNE & “HACKSAW” BUTCH REED (w/ Percival Pringle III). Slater and Anderson bring Sgt. Slaughter out with them, to keep an eye on Percy Pringle. Late in the match, Pringle tries to interfere, leading to Slaughter confronting him. Sarge knocks Percy to the floor with a big right hand, which distracts Borne, allowing Slater to deliver the Russian Legsweep for the pinfall.
“DR. DEATH” STEVE WILLIAMS beats AWA World Heavyweight champion “RAVISHING” RICK RUDE (w/ Percival Pringle III) via DQ. Late in the match, Williams had the upper hand, and hit Rude with the Oklahoma Stampede, but as he covered Rude, Percy Pringle climbed up to the top rope and jumped off, delivering a double axehandle to the back of Doc’s head, causing the DQ, and quite possibly saving the World title for Rude. Williams grabbed ahold of Percy before he could get out of the ring, but Rude attacked Williams from behind, and delivered the Rude Awakening before leaving the ring with Percy.
