GENTLEMAN CHRIS ADAMS © VS. DEAN MALENKO:
ROUND ONE: The two competitors basically feel each other out. Toward the end of the fall, there are a few near falls.
ROUND TWO: Malenko starts to use some subtle heel tactics. This doesn’t help much as Adams outmanuvers the challenger and seems to be taking control.
ROUND THREE: Malenko goes to work on Adams’ legs. Magnum TA speculates that he might be trying to take away the superkick.
ROUND FOUR: Malenko continues working the leg. It’s having the desired effect for Malenko as Adams is limping badly by the end of the round.
ROUND FIVE: Adams seems fired up and makes a comeback in this round! Just when it lookslike it’s going to go the champion’s way,Adams misses a dropkick. Malenko locks in the Texas Cloverleaf and gets a submission! Suddenly, the challenger is up 1 fall!

ROUND SEVEN: Adams manages to even it up at a fall apiece as he pins Malenko with a backslide during this fall. Chris is still favoring the leg, however.
ROUND EIGHT: Adams takes control of this action and he looks like he’s on his way to victory as he goes for the superkick! Unfortunately, Malenko pulls referee Tommy Gilbert in front of himself and the kick knock both referee and challenger out of the ring! Malenko’s head hits the concrete, plus Gilbert is on top of him! Malenko is down for the count and finally referee Scott LeDoux comes out and counts the challenger out! That’s considered a knockout under these rules, so Chris Adams retains his belt!

There are several near falls for both men, but neither wrestler gets the duke. It looks like we’ll have a new champion when Tito hits the flying forearm and covers Rotunda, but Missy puts her man’s foot on the bottom rope at the two count! This leads to baby Doll attack Missy and wiping the floor with her! Tito cheers baby Doll on and Rotunda takes the opportunity to roll Tito up from behind, grab a big ol’ handfull of tights and get the 1-2-3! Rotunda retains the American Title here tonight!
