Match #1
Chaz vs. Alex Porteau
Chaz debuts. He is young, and athletic. The young ladies like him. “The Pug” will be a good test. Chaz is very quick, and Porteau is frustrated. He tries to rough up Chaz, but it doesn’t work. Chaz uses a sunset flip for the win.
Winner- Chaz

Craig Johnson is with the “California Stud” Rod Price.
Johnson, “With me is Rod Price, the North American Champion. Mr. Price, you meet Kevin Von Erich at Tarrant County. Many experts think Kevin will leave Ft. Worth as the Champion.”
Price, “Then many people are wrong. ‘The California Stud’ is the hottest thing in wrestling today. Von Erich is washed up, he’s yesterday’s news. He can’t beat me.”
Johnson, “He will have the home field advantage at Tarrant County.”
Price, “So what? I don’t need all those inbred Texans on my side. I’m from California, we don’t give Texas the time of day!”
Johnson, “The Champion is very confident.”
Match #4
Non-Title Match
“California Stud” Rod Price (North American Champion) vs. Joe Gomez
The Champion meets the “Desperado”. Gomez is talented, but Price is riding high, and will be tough to beat. The match is very hard hitting. Gomez holds his own, but Price’s strength takes over. He locks on the bear hug, and Gomez submits.
Winner- Rod Price
Doyle King is with Johnny Mantell.
King, “With me is Johnny Mantell. Johnny, you have returned to Texas, and the competition is very tough.”
Mantell, “You got that right Doyle. Texas has always had great wrestling, and this might be the best I’ve ever seen. I’m not backing down from anything, and Tatum is going to learn that tonight.”
King, “Johnny Mantell vs. John Tatum is our main event.”
Match #5
Johnny Mantell vs. “Hollywood” John Tatum
Tatum struts around the ring. The Cowboy from Wise, TX is not impressed. They lock up and we are under way. Tatum grabs a side headlock, but Tatum shoots him into the ropes, and drops him with a shoulder tackle. Tatum puts the boots to Johnny. Mantell gets to his feet and goes after Tatum. The match goes back and forth until Mantell wins with a bulldog.
Winner- Johnny Mantell
