INTERNATIONAL STAR WARS: FIRECRACKER SPECTACULAR
JULY 5, 1988
REUNION ARENA
DALLAS, TX
16 year old Jill Floyd opens the show with the National Anthem.
BUDDY ROBERTS & ERIC EMBRY VS. THE KILLER BEES(JIM BRUNZELL & BRIAN BLAIR): The sneakiest members of the Fabulous Blondes battle one of wrestling's top teams. Fifteen minutes of back and forth action go by without a pinfall and we have a draw.
KEN PATERA VS. ICEMAN KING PARSONS: Ken Patera makes his way to the ring. Talk about unpleasant surprises, look who is accompanying the former Olympian!
GENERAL SKANDOR AKBAR IS BACK IN WORLD CLASS!
Then, we hear...
And Iceman Parsons arrives! Iceman uses his superior speed and his boxing skills to dominate most of the match. Akbar makes the difference tonight as his interference leads to Patera getting the pin at the 9:23 mark.
“BLACK SUPERMAN” TONY ATLAS VS. MONGOLIAN STOMPER (W/JONATHAN BOYD): No technical wrestling here! It's a brawl from the opening bell onward! Rick Hazzard tries to keep order in the match and gets slugged by both men for his trouble! He has no choice and disqualifies both men at the 7:44 mark!
DANGEROUS DOUG GILBERT(W/MISSY HYATT) VS. MISSING LINK(W/SUNSHINE): Another wild brawl, this one Memphis style. It looks like the Link is well on his way to a win when the ladies get into a catfight at ringside! It looks like Missy has an advantage and the Link reaches out of the ring to try to assist the object of his affection! Gilbert takes advantage of the distraction and pulls a chain out of his tights! Gilbert nails Link with the chain and scores another upset win at the 8:14 mark! Missy and Sunshine continue to tear away at each other until David Manning gets them separated!
SUBMISSION MATCH: SID VICIOUS VS. “MR. MAGNIFICENT” KEVIN KELLY(W/ERIC EMBRY): These two powerhouses battle each other to a standstill! Kelly manages to apply his full nelson, but Sid shocks him by reversing the hold! Kelly breaks the hold by backing hard into the turnbuckles! Mr. Magnificent batters Sid from pillar to post for a few minutes, but Sid turns it around by hitting a stomp to the gut followed by the POWEBOMB! At first, Vicious goes for a pin, but remembers the match must be won via submission! Sid applies the COBRA CLUTCH!!! Mr. Magnificent is fading fast! Wait a minute! Embry is waving somebody to the ring! Another very large young blonde haired man hits the ring and viciously attacks Sid!
Embry and the newcomer deliver a vicious beating to Sid! They deliver a spike piledriver to Vicious and leave him lying in the ring!
BLACKJACK MULLIGAN, BARRY & KENDALL WINDHAM VS. TERRY FUNK, BUZZ SAWYER, & BIG JOHN STUDD: Early on, the heels isolate Kendall and he's the face in peril for several minutes until he finally makes a hot tag to Blackjack! Mulligan does well at first, but Studd and Sawyer manage to turn the tide and bust the veteran open! Barry manages to tag in and pin Funk with a lariat at the 11:07 mark! The brawl continues for several minutes after the bell and it takes several officials and wrestlers to break it up!
ELIMINATION TAG MATCH: THE PATRIOT, CORPORAL KIRCHNER, TITO SANTANA, & “RAGIN BULL” MANNY FERNANDEZ VS. WARLORD JONATHAN BOYD, IRON SHEIK, NIKOLAI VOLKOFF, & BORIS ZHUKOV: The International Army makes their way out, foreign flags flying, getting tons of heat! Then, we hear...
A Marine color guard leads The Patriot and his American team to the ring!

TEXAS TITLE MATCH: AL PEREZ(W/GARY HART) (C) VS. GENTLEMAN CHRIS ADAMS: A slow building, back and forth match with dozens of near falls that sees Perez successfully defend his championship via pinfall as he executes a jackknife pin on Adams with his feet braced on the turnbuckles at the 34:07 mark.

The music plays and the challengers make their way to the ring!
The music changes and Gary Hart leads his champions out...

The New Breed throw Steve to the ropes for a double clothesline.....Steve ducks under....comes off the ropes and double clotheslines the champs! Shaun ahs recovered and climbs to the top rope. When Royal gets to his feet, Shaun hits a high cross body! One...two...THREE!!!!

AMERICAN TITLE MATCH: RON GARVIN © VS. “HOT STUFF” EDDIE GILBERT(W/MISSY HYATT):
The music plays and Missy Hyatt leads the challenger to the ring!
As Gilbert struts around the ring and Missy applauds, the music changes...
The Champ makes his way to the ring and gets a huge ovation!
Gilbert goes on the defensive early on and seems to really frustrate the champ. Garvin takes over, using his hard nosed, brawling style. Gilbert bumps all over the ring, taking a vicious beating. Gilbert uses foreign objects and Misy's distraction to stay in the match. Garvin applies a Boston crab on Hot Stuff and it looks like it's all over! Here comes Doug Gilbert, carrying a baseball bat! Ron breaks the hold and, when Doug climbs onto the apron, Ronnie nails him with a right hand and sends Dougie to the floor! Missy has the bat and she's on the apron! Referee David Manning takes the bat and orders Missy off the apron, but she's taking her sweet time about getting down!
As the ref argues with Missy, Garvin turns his attention to his opponent! While Garvin was distracted, Gilbert has been pulling some objects out of his tights! Garvin closes in on Hot Stuff and ….
EDDIE GILBERT THROWS FIRE IN RONNIE GARVIN'S FACE!!!!!
Missy finally gets off the apron and Manning turns his attention to the ring where Gilbert covers Garvin! Manning makes the count and we have a new champion!!!!
