We have another qualifying match for the American Heavyweight Championship, Chris Adams, the gentleman from England, meets, the man from Boogie Street, the Great Kabuki. Gary Hart also brings a new man to ACW, the One Man Gang. Let’s get things started with the Road Warriors.”
Match #1

Two you and talented wrestlers go st it. Both are second generation stars, and both are very skilled. We have a fine wrestling match that goes back and forth. Both men have their chances, but the ten minute time limit expires. We have a draw.
Result-Time Limit Draw
Marc Lowrance is with Gary Hart, the Great Kabuki and the One Man Gang.
Lowrance, “With me is ‘Playboy’ Gary Hart. Mr. Hart, Gino Hernandez is not here tonight. Would you care to elaborate?”
Hart, “I would not. I want to talk about these two men.”
Lowrance, “Alright, you have this monster, the One Man Gang. He looks impressive.”
Hart, “Of course he is. The One Man Gang will make a name for himself in Texas.”
Lowrance, “Now, let’s talk about the Great Kabuki. He meets Chris Adams for a chance at the American Heavyweight Championship tournament.”
Hart, “Look at it this way Marc Lowrance, you’re a smart young man, if you were Chris Adams, a fine wrestler, would you want to go through the Boogie Man to get to Texas Stadium?”
Lowrance, “Probably not.”
Hart, “Exactly! Christopher Adams, you are a great wrestler, but the Great Kabuki has you in his sights.”
Match #5
The Super Destroyers w/“General” Skandor Akbar vs. Al Madril and Brian Adias
This will be a good matchup. The masked men are vicious, but Madril and Adias are veterans, and they hold their own. The masked men trap Madril in the corner, and work him over. Al escapes and tags in Adias. Brian looks good, but the Super D’s are to much. #1 lands a big boot for the win.
Winners-The Super Destroyers
Marc Lowrance is with Chris Adams.
Lowrance, “With me is Chris Adams. Chris, you meet the Great Kabuki tonight. The winner goes to Texas Stadium. You have a history with him.”
Adams, “Kabuki is very dangerous, and Hart is capable of anything, but I don’t care. I want to be the Champion, and going through Kabuki is something I’ll do, and I’ll enjoy beating him!”
Match #6
Kerry Von Erich vs. The Magic Dragon
Kerry has a date at Texas Stadium. He wants to be the American Heavyweight Champion. The mysterious man from Macau will be a good test. The Dragon starts with his extensive martial arts repertoire. This works, and it slows Kerry. ‘The Modern Day Warrior” bides his time, and then explodes. He clamps the Von Erich iron claw on the masked man, and it’s over! Kerry is ready for anything!
Winner-Kerry Von Erich
Match #7
“Gentleman” Chris Adams vs. The Great Kabuki w/“Playboy” Gary Hart
Gary Hart comes to the ring with the man from the melting pots of sin. The popular Englishman waits in the corner. Kabuki spits the green mist. Adams has felt this in the ring. The bell rings and we are underway. Referee Bronko Lubich is in charge of the action. Both men have martial arts backgrounds. Both men are cautious. They know one mistake could cost them. Kabuki lands a quick thrust kick, and Adams is stunned. Kabuki tries to follow up, but Adams is ready. They continue to go back and forth until Adams lands a super kick, and covers Kabuki. Lubich counts the fall, and Adams is heading to Texas Stadium!
Winner-Chris Adams
Bill Mercer closes the show.
Mercer, “Now we have three! Kerry Von Erich, Jimmy Garvin, and Chris Adams have qualified for the American Heavyweight Championship Tournament. We need one more, and we will add that person next week, Gino Hernandez meets Iceman King Parsons with the winner to fill out the field. We will also see General Skandor Akbar debut a new man, from Siberia, Boris Zhukov. We will also see the two tag teams who will meet for the American Tag Team Championship, the Kansas Jayhawks, and the Road Warriors, don’t miss it!”
Working on it now.
