The fans are solidly behind the World Junior champion Cooley and ironically his opponent for the title Sunday night, Shane Douglas! Lewin and Brooks pull every dirty trick out of their books, and finally, its Lewin and Shane the legal man, but the heels try a double team and Wendell is forced to come in and a four-way brawl breaks out here at Gilleys! Wait what is this? Douglas finds his head in between the ropes when . .
CARSON THROWS POWDER IN DOUGLAS’S EYES! Shane is blinded! Lewin grabs him and throws a punch at him followed by an axehandle as Wendell throws Brooks out of the ring! Wendell sees his partner being waylaid by the maniacal Lewin and Sundays Lewin! Shane, his face covered in powder, gets himself up on the ropes, takes a wild guess:
SHANE DROPKICKS WENDELL!!!!!
SHANE DROPKICKS WENDELL!!!!
SHANE DROPKICKS WENDELL!!!!!
WENDELL FLIES OUT OF THE RING, SHANE REACHES AROUND AND GRABS LEWIN’S LEGS, AND HOOKS IT:
THE REF FLIES OVER:

Lewin and Brooks lick their wounds and leave as they now must contemplate a loser leaves town match against Tiger Conway Jr and Mark Lewin tomorrow night!
The ref raises Shane’s hand and as Wendell rolls into the ring, the ref raises his hand too but the World Junior champ is HOT and starts yelling at Shane. Shane wipes his eyes with a towel brought out by another ref, and can now see, and is berated again by Cooley, and tag team partners argue, until TIGER CONWAY JR enters the ring, explains things to Cooley, and finally cooler heads prevail, and Wendell shakes hands with Shane and the ref raises both of their hands. Fans, thanks to Tiger a colossal misunderstanding is swept under the rug!

In a pretaped video, Lance Russell asks Larry Sharpe, backed by the WWU World Tag team Champions Nikolai Volkoff and Baron Von Rashcke, to finally explain the fans what is a “Siberian Death Camp Match”, as booked this Sunday March 17 in San Antonio?
(PROMOTERS NOTE: I invented a match under the same name about 14 years ago in the WCFL, but with some thought after announcing it decided it was lame to recycle the same rules here; that said I can’t claim my “2019” version is original either odds are it was thought of before)
Sharpe chillingly explains to the fans that the only way to decide the winner is a pinfall: there is NO DQ, no referee stoppage and more importantly NO COUNT OUT: NO WRESTLER CAN RUN AWAY because in a Siberian Death Camp Match:
.
.
.
..
THERE IS NO SUBMISSION!!!!!
Sharpe: “THAT’S RIGHT SAM HOUSTON: when Nikolai Volkoff twists you like pretzel, no matter how loud you scream, no matter how much pity the referee takes on you . . THE MATCH WILL NEVER END!!!
"As for YOU Mark Van Halen . . . when Baron Von Rashcke puts the Iron Claw on you . . .. .and digs his iron fingers DEEP INTO YOUR SKULL . . . and starts to create bleeding in the brain (Rascke shows the CLAW) . . . and he digs deeper and reaches into the very edges of your parietal lobe and you slowly turn in to a vegetable . . . . THERE IS NOTHING THE REFEREE CAN TO STOP THIS BECAUSE THERE IS NO DQ, NO SUBMISSION, NO THROWING OF THE TOWEL, IT WILL BE ALL OVER!!!!
“Steve Stack how appropriate this is Championship Wrestling From HOUSTON. Remember the movie Rollerball? The HOUSTON team took on a foreign team, and there was NO TIME LIMIT. At the end of the game, ONLY ONE TEAM SURVIVED AND THAT IS HOW IT WILL BE IN SAN ANTONIO!!!!
“NO MORE MARK VAN HALEN, sucking his lunch through a straw in a Houston hospital, NO MORE SAM HOUSTON, a broken bag of bones, and this Sunday night in San Antonio it will be THESE MEN, NIKOLAI VOLKOFF AND BARON VON RASCHKE REIGNING SUPREME AS YOUR WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!

NON-TITLE MATCH
BUDDY ROBERTS w/Baby Doll v MADD MAXX
During the match, BOB SWEETAN has the stones to sit with Steve and Bill to provide less than complimentary commentary about Roberts, and ominously warns no matter what happens Sunday in San Antonio, which as you can imagine is a tremendous distraction for the Southwest Champion! Sweetan wraps up with warning SOMETHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO BUDDY ROBERTS, WIN OR LOSE, SUNDAY NIGHT IN SAN ANTONIO!
Roberts finally vanquishes his large foe, then turns his attention to Sweetan, with Baby Doll holding Roberts back, Sweetan throws off his headset and heads towards Roberts, FANS ITS CHAOS HERE AT GILLEYS THERE IS SO MUCH BAD BLOOD BETWEEN THESE MEN!
Steve: "The locker rooms empty to keep these men apart, but what did Bob Sweetan mean by his threat? BUDDY ROBERTS VERSUS BOB SWEETAN FOR THE SOUTHWEST TITLE IN SAN ANTONIO TOMORROW NIGHT AT THE HEMIS FAIR ARENA!

GREG VALENTINE w/Fabulous Moolah + NIKOLAI VOLKOFF + BARON VON RASCHKE w/Larry Sharpe
V
MARK VAN HALEN + SAM HOUSTON + MASKED TEXAN
IF MASKED TEXAN CAN PIN VALENTINE, HE GETS THE WORLD TITLE SHOT ST PATRICK’S DAY in SAN ANTONIO!!!
As the match gets underway, Bill Watts explains that should Texan fail to get the pin, a special mini battle royale will be held to determine an opponent for valentine tomorrow night in San Antonio.
It’s a lot of back and forth with Valentine doing all he can to avoid getting in the ring with Texan by cowardly tagging out every time he is tagged in. But as we go a break . . . . .THINGS BREAK LOOSE, ALL SIX MEN ARE IN THE RING, AND WHEN THE SMOKE CLEARS: VALENTINE IS IN THE RING WITH TEXAN, AND WHEN HE TRIES TO TAG OUT, TEXAN CAPTURES HIM, AND FLAIR CHOPS HIM INTO A CORNER AWAY FROM HIS TEAMMATES! FANS, CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS WE HAVE TO GO TO A FINAL BREAK, WE WILL BE RIGHT BACK AFTER THIS!

Valentine is still stranded in the ring with Masked Texan, who is throwing the champion from pillar to post, until MOOLAH jumps on the apron, and distracts the Texan long enough form Valentine to throw a LOW BLOW at the Masked would-be usurper, and he tags out to Volkoff, but Texan knocks him down, then Raschke tags in and flails at Texan with the claw KAPOW he is knocked on his keyster as well, and TEXAN challenges VALENTINE TO COME IN FOR SOME MORE, but Valentine refuses! Rachske ties to tag out to him, HE JUMPS OFF THE RING APRON, WHAT A COWARD!
Its Raschke and Texan, and quickly Larry Sharpe cleverly orchestrates a triple team of Texan, who gets his ass kicked and can’t make the HOT TAG. But at 5500, he somersaults across the ring, and tags to MARK VAN HALEN WHO KICKS ASS!!!! BUT THE HEELS QUICKLY COME IN AND Its A 6 WAY BRAWL WITH VAN HALEN AND VALENTINE THE LEGAL MEN! Texan works his way to his tag rope, yells out to Van Halen as Valentine throws Houston out of the ring, and VAN HALEN TAGS OUT TO THE MASKED TEXAN, AND FANS, VALENTINE TURNS AROUND AND IS FACING ONE ON ONE WITH THE MASKED TEXAN AS TV TIME IS RUNNING OUT! Texan dropkicks Valentine, Valentine off the ropes nails Texan with an elbow, and DOWN GOES TEXAN, Valentine covers Texan, rolls him up . . .
