Suddenly, down the aisle come Davey Boy Smith, and the Dynamite Kid, the British Bulldogs! They brawl with the Russians. Wrestlers from the back pull the teams apart. Smith takes the mic.
D. Smith, “You want to pick on someone, pick on us! You double team my brother, how about us two on two!”
Akbar and the Bolshiviks leave the area.
Jim Ross and Jesse Ventura open the program.
Ross, “The British Bulldogs are in the GWA! Jess, they meet the Bolshiviks tonight!”
Ventura, “Ross, the Bulldogs are one of the greatest tag teams of all time, but don’t overlook Akbar’s team!”
Ross, “It’s going to be a great one! Let’s go to Howard Frnkle.”

Tito Santana vs. Dale Veasey
The veteran from Mexico takes on the tough youngster from Alaska. The action is fast paced, and hard hitting. Dale tries to rough up Tito. Santana takes over and wins with the flying firearm.

The Rock and Roll Express vs. Tom “Rocky” Stone and George South
The Rock and Rolls have been chasing the Global Tag Team Titles, and have quickly become the most popular team in the GWA. Robert starts with South. George puts up a good fight, but Robert takes over. He is in control and tags in Ricky. Stone enters and tries his hand. It doesn’t last long and the Express hits the double drop kick for the win.
Winners- The Rock and Roll Express
Match #3
Iceman King Parsons vs. Gary Young
This should be a good one. Young is a well known veteran from Arkansas. The match starts quickly. Both men go back and forth. Parsons uses his speed to gain an edge. Young goes to the roughhouse tactics to get back on top. Both men end up brawling on the arena floor. Referee Earl Hebner counts ten. Both men are counted out.
Result- Double Count Out
We see the Piper’s Pit set. Roddy Piper comes out.
Piper, “Hello everyone! Have I got a guest tonight. He’s one big cowboy, the Global Champion, Barry Windham!”
Windham comes out.
Piper, “Alright Windham, you’ve been the Champion for a while. Ric Flair has been chasing you. He hasn’t beat you yet, but he’s getting closer.”
Windham, “We all know how good Flair is, nobody doubts that. I think I’m good too. I don’t think he can beat me, and I’m not backing down.”
Piper, “He’s got old Boobs with him. He’ll get involved.”
Windham, “I can handle Heenan. I like being the Champion, and I’m giving this up without a fight.”
Piper, “This kid’s got moxey, he can beat Flair!”
We see a video of fireworks, and a voiceover says, “July 4 ‘Red, Whie, and Boom’!”
Match #4
Non-Title Match
Barry Windham (Global Champion) vs. The Great Wojo
Wojo is a skilled mat wrestler, and he uses it to hold his own against the Champion. Windham mounts a comeback. He can mat wrestle as well. Wojo goes to the underhanded tactics. Barry fights him off and wins with the bulldog.
Winner-Barry Windham
Match #5

Winner-Hacksaw Jim Duggan
Mean Gene Okerlund is with the Million Dollar Man w/Virgil
Okerlund, “With me are the Million Dollar Man, and his bodyguard Virgil. Mr. DiBiase, I mean Million Dollar Man, you continue to win matches, but you insult people at every opportunity.”
MDM, “Okerlund, I treat people how they deserve to be treated. Everyone is inferior to me, so they aren’t worth my time. They should be honored to interact with me, it should make their day! HAHAHA!”
Okerlund, “He’s arrogant, but he can back it up!”
Match #6
The Million Dollar Man w/Virgil vs. Ricky Santana
The MDM has Virgin offer Santana $100 to leave the ring. Santana refuses and we are underway. Ricky is very quick, but the MDM is one of the best in the business. He works over Santana and slaps on the million dollar dream. Santana is out. Virgil stuffs a $100 bill in Ricky’s mouth.
Winner-The Million Dollar Man
Mean Gene Okerlund is with the British Bulldogs.
Okerlund, “Fans, with me are Davey Boy Smith, and Dynamite Kid, the British Bulldogs. Last week, you had an altercation with General Skandor Akbar’s Bolshiviks. Tonight you meet them in the ring.”
Smith, “Gene, they took advantage of my brother. They beat him up two on one. Dynamite and I couldn’t stand for that”
Kid, “Davey’s right. If your going to wrestle, be men about it, but we know the Russians aren’t men.”
Smith, “You’re going to find out what it means when you take on the Smith family!”
Match #7
The British Bulldogs vs. The Bolsheviks w/General Skandor Akbar
This will be a wild one. Smith and Volkoff start the contest. Nikolai uses his size to dish out punishment. Davey Boy fires back. Now the big Russian is in retreat. Akbar shouts instructions. Zhukov tags in, and he and Smith go at it. The Dynamite Kid tags in, and the talented Englishman goes to work. Finally, all four men end up in the ring. Referee Robert Warren tries to gain control, but he can’t. He calls for the bell and disqualifies both teams. This isn’t settled by a long shot.
Result- Double Disqualification
Jim Ross and Jesse Ventura close the show.
Ross, “Jess, what a brawl! This isn’t settled!”
Ventura, “Most definitely Ross!”
Ross, “Let’s talk about next week. We will learn what ‘Red, White, and Boom’ is. We also have a great main event, ‘Nature Boy’ Ric Flair will take on Iceman King Parsons, what a challenge for the former champion!”
