- "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan def. Smoky Mountain champion Paul Orndorff at 16:24 by countout when Orndorff fled the match.
- The advertised Lord Jonathon Boyd vs. Mark Starr match did not happen. Boyd entered first, but when Starr was coming to the ring, he was confronted by Vladimir Pietrov and Ivan Koloff. After a brief moment, Vlad gave him a Russian Hammer blow on the floor and then headed to the ring. Ivan Koloff got the house microphone and said that the challenger earlier in the night was not good enough, and Pietrov wants another challenge. Boyd shook his head no, but Ivan was hearing none of it and Boyd had no choice once Vladimir got his hands on him. He mauled Boyd and pinned him at 4:22 with a Russian Hammer. Afterwards, Ivan Koloff stated that no one can match up with Vladimir Pietrov.
- Smoky Mountain Tag Team Champions, The Jive Tones retained over The Rock & Roll Express at 25:40. Ron Wright, while in the straight jacket, had climbed the ring steps and got on the apron. Ricky Morton went to pop him, but was grabbed from behind by Conway Jr. and ran into Wright, causing their heads to crack together. Conway rolled up Morton and pinned him with his feet on the ropes.
Working on it now.
