Bill Mercer opens the show.
Mercer, “Welcome to ‘International Championship Wrestling’. Everyone’s nerves are on edge. ‘Darkness’ is supposed to arrive in WWI tonight. What does that mean? No one knows. We have other things on tap as well. General Skandor Akbar promises a new man, or new men tonight. Kerry Von Erich will be in action, and our feature match should be a hard hitting one, Hacksaw Jim Duggan meets Terry Gibbs. Let’s go to the ring for Marc Lowrance, and General Skandor Akbar.”
Lowrance and Akbar are in the ring.
Lowrance, “General Akbar, you asked for this time, the floor is yours.”
Akbar, “Get out of my way Lowrance. I told everyone that running Gary Hart out of town made me a lot of money. It also provided another opportunity. It provided me the opportunity to sign one his wrestlers.”
Plays and Ken Patera comes to the ring.
Lowrance, “Ken Patera, What a coup! General Akbar, you have shocked the wrestling world!”
Akbar, “I’m not finished! I told you I had a lot of money, and I used it on this man!”
Plays and Sgt Slaughter comes to the ring.
Lowrance, “Sgt Slaughter! What are you doing with Akbar?”
Slaughter, “Listen puke! As a Marine, I was about red, white, and blue! As a wrestler, it’s about GREEN, and Akbar has a lot of it!”
Match #1
Sgt Slaughter w/General Skandor Akbar and Ken Patera vs. S.D. Jones
Patera stays at ringside. That is bad news for SD. Slaughter is aggressive, and goes right after Jones. SD is a veteran, and he holds his own. Akbar shouts instructions. Slaughter dishes out the punishment. Jones is game, but Slaughter goes for the cobra clutch. He gets it cinched in, and Jones is out. Slaughter, Patera, and Akbar celebrate. Who can stop them?
Winner-Sgt Slaughter
Match #2
The Road Warriors w/Paul Ellering vs. Ted Grizzly and AJ Petruzzi
The Road Warriors are beginning to hear the cheers of the fans. Tonight they meet two big men. Hawk and Grizzly start the contest. Animal hammers away at the big man. He tags in Animal who continue the assault. Petruzzi tags in, but Animal is too much. He powerslams AJ for the win.
Winners-The Road Warriors
Match #3
Non-Title Match
Tiger Mask (World Jr. Heavyweight Champion) vs. Mario Mancini
The World Jr. Heavyweight Champion has been very impressive since winning the title. The masked man takes to the air, and Mancini is on the defensive. Tiger Mask uses a Tiger suplex into the Tiger sleeper for the win.
Winner-Tiger Mask
Match #4
Kerry Von Erich vs. Goldie Rogers
“The Modern Day Warrior” comes to the ring. The fans love him, and he is one of the top stars in the sport. Rogers is a rugged veteran. Goodies tries all his patented underhanded tactics, but Kerry is too much. He uses the Von aero he iron claw for the win.
Winner-Kerry Von Erich
Marc Lowrance is with Jim Cornette, the Midnight Express, and Big Bubba Rogers.
Lowrance, “With me are the World Tag Team Champions, their manager, and his bodyguard. Mr. Cornette, you agreed to face the Midnight Rockers a non-title match. The date has been set. Your men will face them next week on ‘International Championship Wrestling.’ If they beat you, they get a title shot.”
Cornette, “Lowrance, you might be as dumb as Michaels, and Jannetty, and that’s saying something. We agreed to match with these two punks because we thought they’d chicken out, but they’re too stupid. Now, we have to teach them a lesson, and it’s going to be a painful lesson.”
Lowrance, “The Midnight Express vs. the Midnight Rockers, next week on ‘International Championship Wrestling’.”
Match #5
Non-Title Match
The Midnight Express (World Tag Team Champions) vs. Armand Rougeau and Dan Kroffat
Cornette takes the mic from Marc Lowrance.
Cornette, “Look at these two. We’re going to beat them so bad, they’re going to start talking English! Let me introduce to you, the number one cause of divorce in America, the World Tag Team Champions, Loverboy Dennis, and Beautiful Bobby, the Midnight Express!”
Rougeau and Kroffat don’t back down. They match the champions move for move. Cornette looks frustrated. He shouts instructions from ringside. Condry takes the fight to Rougeau. The Champions begin to take over. Eaton tags in, and the Rxpress use the rocket launcher for the win.
Winners-The Midnight Express
Marc Lowrance sits in front of a “Parade of Champions” banner.
Lowrance, “The march to Texas Stadium has begun. On Sunday, May 19, WWI presents the second ‘David Von Erich Parade of Champions’. Last year’s show was exciting, and this year’s version will be even better. We know that the World Champion, Tatsumi Fujinami, will defend his title. The Championship Committee will meet this week. We also know that Billy Jack Haynes will debut at Texas Stadium. On next week’s program we will announce who will challenge Mr. Fujinami. We can add another match. Riki Choshu, the International Champion, will defend against Jumbo Tsuruta. What a hard hitting match that will be. Also this man will be at Texas Stadium.
Lowrance, “Austin Idol will be in action. Stay tuned to ‘International Championship Wrestling for more information.”
Match #6
Hacksaw Jim Duggan vs. Terry Gibbs
This will be a slugfest. Duggan is very aggressive, but Gibbs doesn’t take a step back. Hacksaw slams his opponent, and goes for a cover, but Terry kicks out before referee Bronko Lubich counts three. Gibbs hammers away at Duggan, and Hacksaw is in trouble. The crowd gets behind Duggan, and he rallies. He hits the spear and covers Gibbs for the win. That was an impressive win for Hacksaw!
Winner-Hacksaw Jim Duggan
Match #7
Jeff Craney and referee David Manning wait in the ring. The lights in the arena go out. They come back on. A hooded figure stands in the middle of the ring. He removes his robe to reveal...KEVIN SULLIVAN! The “Master of Darkness” is here! Sullivan attacks Craney. He is all over Jeff. Each move is vicious, and Sullivan is in control. He stomps away at Jeff, then ties him to the “tree of woe”. He stomps away. Sullivan lands the stomp from the second rope. He covers Craney, and Manning counts the fall. The lights go out again, and when they come on again, Craney is still down, and Sullivan is gone.
Winner-Kevin Sullivan
Bill Mercer closes the show.
Mercer, “Kevin Sullivan, the Darkness Man, is in WWI! The wrestling world has changed! Join us next week, the Midnight Rockers meet the Midnight Express!”
