3. MAGNUM SCOTT HALL V MAGNIFICENT MURACCO
Muracco receives a very unwelcome greeting from the Cow Palace faithful who back Hall all the way.

THREE!!!! FANS, a BIT of a shocker as in his WWA debut, Magnificient Muracco has defeated the highly pushed Magnum Scott Hall at 9:10!
4. TAPED FIST MATCH
DR. D DAVID SCHULTZ V GREG GAGNE
We are all set! Paul Jones has sent his Russian charges in to interfere in both their previous matches much to Dr. D's objections and Greg Gagne has taped his fists up to stand up for USA! USA! USA!
The match quickly turns bloody with both participants blading, but Dr D gets the upper hand, and knocks down Gagne several times, but Gagne fights back, but accidentally clocks the referee Mark Nulty! NULTY IS OUT COLD! Schultz takes advantage, and throws Gagne out of the ring when . . . .
.
.
.
.
.
.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
RUSSIAN WAR MACHINE? AMAZING MALENKO? PAUL JONES?
Didn’t Dr D warn Paul Jones no more interference in his matches?
They enter the ring as Dr D argues with Paul Jones, and points to the dressing room, demanding his commie stablemates vacate the premises when here comes Gagne, back into the ring . . .
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
WAR MACHINE AND MALENKO ATTACK DR D D!
THEY PUT THE BOOTS TO DR D, AND TIE HIM UP IN THE ROPES, THEN SEEING GAGNE THEY TURN THEIR ATTENTION TO HIM, ITS RUSSIAN WAR MACHINE, AMAZING MALENKO, AND PAUL JONES, 3 TO 1 VERSUS GAGNE, WITH SCHULTZ TIED UP IN THE ROPES, HELPLESS! WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN!

GAGNE AND WAR MACHINE AND MALENKO STOMP A MUDHOLE INTO DR D’S FOREHEAD WITH BLOOD EVERYWHERE AS THE BELL RINGS, AND THE OTHER REFEREES COME IN AND TRY TO BREAK UP THE DESTRUCTION!!!!
THE REFS ORDER THE COMMIES AND GREG GAGNE OUT OF THE RING RING, AND THEY ALL RAISE THEIR HANDS IN UNITY OUTSIDE THE RING AS CANS, CUPS AND FOOD ARE THROWN AT THEM BY AN ANGRY SAN FRANCISCO CROWD AS THE REFS ORDER MEDICS TO THE RING!
FANS, THIS IS THE MOST DISGUSTING THING I HAVE EVER SEEN! WHAT WAS GREG GAGNE THINKING???

Mamba, Muracco, and yes, Gagne all confer on side of the ring while Hall shakes hands with Backlund on the other, and THEY ATTACK THE HEELS, and in the scrum, GAGNE and his commie ass is thrown over the top rope! Backlund is thrown over by Mamba and SCOTT HALL IS OUT-NUMBERED, 2:1 BY BLACK MAMBA AND THE MAN WHO DEFEATED HIM EARLIER TONIGHT, MURACCO!
The two heels put the boots to Hall, but Hall fights back off the ropes and knocks Muracco on his ass, and collides with Mamba! Muracco pulls himself up on the ropes and a stunned Mamba and Hall stagger up:
MAMBA CLOTHESLINES HALL OVER THE TOP ROPE! HE CELEBRATES, TURNS AROUND AND WHAMMO!!!!
.
.
.
.
MURACCO LIKE A VIPER COMES TO AND PICKS UP AND DUMPS MAMBA OVER THE TOP ROPE! Mamba is outraged and points an accusing finger at Muracco, who pleads his innocence, fans, and Magnificient Muracco is going to face Russian War Machine for the World . . .
.
.
.
.
Wait. Hold that thought:
SCOTT HALL IS STILL ON THE RING APRON! The rules are clear: you must eliminate another wrestler by dumping over the top rope: TO THE ARENA FLOOR! HALL NEVER TOUCHED THE FLOOR, AND HAS FREESTROKED HIS WAY BETWEEN THE ROPES, AND IS RIGHT BEHIND A CELEBRATING MURACCO:
.
.
.
.
.
Muracco is jawjacking with Mamba, and Hall has his hands on his hips, laughing with the fans, and taes Muracco on the back.
MURACCO BRUSHES IT OFF, and keeps up his argument with Mamba, WHO NOW SEEMS TO BE WARNING MURACCO OF WHAT IS BEHIND HIM! Muracco puts his index finger to his temple to mock Mamba, and MAGNUM TAPS HIM ON THE BACK: AGAIN! Muracco turns around and SLAPS HIM, turns around to Mamba:
.
.
.
.
.
OH NO. Muracco looks like he saw a ghost: he realizes he just slapped:
.
.
.
And he turns around and realizes:
SCOTT HALL!!!
MURACCO CAN’T BELIEVE HIS EYES AS HALL DOES THE HOGAN POSE, AND MURACO IN DESPERATION THROWS A ROUNDHOUSE PUNCH:
HALL DUCKS, KICKS MURACCO IN THE BREADBASKET, AND PICKS HIM UP:
.
.
HE HAS MURACCO UP:
.
.
.
DIAMOND HEAD DEATH DROP!!!!
DIAMOND HEAD DEATH DROP!!!!
DIAMOND HEAD DEATH DROP!!!!
HALL PLANTS MURACCO, AND MURACCO IS ALMOST OUT, COLD,
But with instinct grabs the ropes, pulls himself up as Hall gets ready:
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
MURACCO HALFWAY UP: HERE COMES HALL WITH A CLOTHESLINE, MURACCO TUMBLES OVER THE TOPS TO THE FLOOR AND FANS:

8. WWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
RUSSIAN WAR MACHINE w/Paul Jones v MAGNUM SCOTT HALL
The bell rings and both men circle each other, and trade shoulderblocks off the ropes! WHAT HEAVYWEIGHTS! Then the War Machine challenges Hall to a test of strength! This one is back and forth as Hall gains the upperhand: War Machine tries to kick Hall in the guts, Hall catches the leg . . . and DROPKICKS WAR MACHINE ON HIS ASS! Hall follows up with punches and kicks on the downed Machine, who must escape through the ring ropes, and recovers, but HALL IS RELENTLESS HE CHASES OFF MANAGER PAUL JONES, AND THROWS ASSASSIN BACK INTO THE RING, MORE KICKS AND PUNCHES AND LOOK AT THIS, RUSSIAN WAR MACHINE IS BEGGING FOR MERCY!
