MAGNUM: Scotty the Body gives former titleholder “Gentleman” Chris Adams a rematch for the UWA World Junior Heavyweight Title! We’ll also see the World Tag Team Title on the lin. Les, you have an update on the match!
LES: Yes, I do, Magnum! Last night, in Lake Charles, LA, the Fantastics defended the World Title against the Wrecking Crew! (As Les speaks, we see still pictures corresponding to his narrative) During the bout, Blackjack Mulligan’s team concentrated their attacks on the neck of Fantastic Tommy Rogers. Tommy was the victim of a spike piledriver and two of the Crew’s wrecking ball manuvers! While Tommy and Bobby managed to come away with a disqualification win, the match took its toll on Rogers. Tommy had to be helped to the back afterwards. He has suffered a serious injury!
The UWA Board have given the Champions the following options for tonight’s championship bout against Magnificent Muraco and Rick Martel.
1. Forfeit the titles to the challengers.
2. Bobby Fulton can wrestle with a substitute partner.
3. Bobby can defend the title in a 2 on 1 handicap match.
4. Defend the belts.
MAGNUM: I have advised the Fantastics that Option #2 is really the only reasonable choice they have.
LES: We’re about to find out what they have chosen! The UWA World Tag Team Title match is up first!
A red convertible rolls slowly to the ring. Magnificent Muraco, Missy Hyatt, & Rick Martel, are seated in the back. They exit the car and enter the ring. Martel and Muraco are wearing matching gear.
The music plays… We’re about to find out which option the Fantastics will choose! Here comes bobby Fulton, dressed to wrestle and clapping his hands! And behind him….
MAGNUM: Oh, no, I was afraid of this!
Tommy Rogers, dressed to wrestle and wearing a neck brace!
Bill Watts is in the ring with referee David Manning.
WATTS: For those of you who don’t know, last night< Tommy was hurt in a match! We’ve given the Fantstics the option of Bobby getting a substitute, Bobby wrestling these two men two on one, forfeiting the belts, or defending them as scheduled in spite of Tommy’s injury. I hope you gentlemen choose wisely!
TOMMY: We signed a contract, we gave our word, and we’re gonna wrestle!
WATTS: OK, let’s hook’em up!
UWA WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: THE FANTASTICS (c) VS. MAGNIFICENT MURACO & RICK MARTEL(W/MISSY HYATT): Magnum and Les both say that Tommy has more guts than brains to take this course of actions! Bobby starts the match and carries the action for several minutes. Bobby gives a solid effort and looks like he may be able to defend the belts with no help from his partner! Eventually, the heels gain an advantage and begin to get serious heat on Fulton. After several hope spots, Bobby dives across the ring and tags Tommy Rogers! In spite of his injury, Rogers fights like a man possessed! Rogers scores several near falls on Martel! As Martel and Rogers battle it out, the wily Muraco reaches in and makes a backslap tag! Tommy doesn’t even realize there was a tag as Muraco enters, kicks Tommy in the gut and hits the reverse piledriver! Muraco covers! One...two...THREE! WE HAVE NEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!!!
Rogers isn’t moving. This looks really bad! Bobby Fulton is in tears! Here comes some paramedics! They haul Tommy Rogers away on a gurney! The fans are stunned!
MAGNUM: This is a rally bad scene here at Texas Stadium! I’m really worried for my friend Tommy!
Here comes the challenger for our next match!
The tone of the music changes for the Junior Heavyweight Champion of the world! Scotty the Body half struts and half dances to the ring, followed by...MISSY HYATT?
OK, what’s she doing here?
Referee Carl Fergie has the house mic…
FERGIE: You all know the UWA rules! Unless you have a manager’s license and you manage the wrestler involved in the match, you can’t be out here!
MISSY: OK, smart aleck! Here’s the deal! Michael is very impressed with Scotty and the way he does things! As of this morning, Scotty the Body is an associate of the Organization! That means, like any member of the Organization, he is entitled to the privilege of having me at ringside!
FERGIE: Chris, if you want to file a protest….
ADAMS: I want my belt back and I don’t care who this bloke has in his corner!
UWA WORLD JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH: SCOTTY THE BODY(W/MISSY HYATT) © VS. GENTLEMAN CHRIS ADAMS: Adams wrestles a very aggressive style. Scotty goes on the defensive, bailing out of the ring at every opportunity. Adams is visibly frustrated and starts to follow Scotty to the floor. At one point, after slamming Scotty face first into the ring post, Adams rolls the champ back into the ring as he is climbing into the ring, Missy slams her Gucci bag into the back of his head! The referee was checking a laceration on Scotty’s head and didn’t see the interference! Adams falls to the floor as the announcers wonder what she has in that bag! Scotty rolls back outside and hits a DDT on the turf on Adams! Scotty re-enters the ring, but Adams is down and out! The ref tolls the ten count! Winner and still champion, Scotty the Body!!!

LOWRANCE: His partner…..KENDALL WINDHAM!!!
Wow, the Texas Broncos were World Champions, but they’ve split up and are at each other’s throats Kendall comes out with his father and manager, Blackjack Mulligan. Mulligan wants the mic!
MULLIGAN: This is a load of bull crap! My boy threw Rhodes out like a sack of garbage! No way, we ain’t havin this, Bill Watts! Is this your idea of a sick joke?
Blackjack storms off the stage! Kendall stands there, looking bemused.
LOWRANCE: Their opponents…..SGT. SLAUGHTER!!!
LOWRANCE: ….and...THE IRON SHEIK?
Slaughter comes out, followed by the Sheik and Humperdink! They all seem almost as happy as Mulligan was!
SHEIK: NO! I won’t team with this fool! No way! I would rather be partner of one of these skinny Americans than this Gomer Pyle!
SLAUGHTER: Sheik, you maggot! You are not gonna cost me all that money! No way!
DUSTIN: Look, Kendall, we can both do ourselves a lot of good if we work together! We can get along long enough to beat these guys! They’ll kill each other!
Kendall nods at Dustin!
WATTS: I don’t care what you guys like or don’t like! You knew what you wre getting into when you signed up! Get it on!
DUSTIN RHODES/KENDALL WINDHAM VS. IRON SHEIK/SGT. SLAUGHTER(W/OLIVER HUMPERDINK) : The erstwhile Texas Broncos manage to put their differences aside and work together. Sheik and Slaughter, not so much! Dustin’s words turn out to be prophetic as after about five minutes, Slaughter and Sheik do come to blows! Windham sneaks up behind Sheik and rolls him up! Sheik and Slaughter bang heads and Sarge falls out of the ring! Humperdink attacks Slaughter and Ivan Koloff joins in! Windham pins Sheik! An irate Sheik rolls to the turf and joins his manager and comrade in beating Slaughter! Dustin rushes top Slaughter’s aid and the brawl goes all over the stadium! Kendall merely sits on the top turnbuckle and watches the fight!
DUSTIN RHODES AND KENDALL WINDHAM ADVANCE TO BATTLE BOWL!

WATTS: It doesn’t work that way! Let’s hook’em up!
KEVIN VON ERICH/AL PEREZ(W/BABY DOLL) VS. BAD NEWS BROWN/RONNIE GARVIN: Perez and Brown continually tag out rather than face each other. Eventually, it comes down to Garvin and the eldest Von Erich have a hard hitting battle . Kevin hist a high cross body to score the 1-2-3 on Garvin. Kevin and Garvin shake hands afterward.
KEVIN VON ERICH AND AL PEREZ ADVANCE!!!

STEVE “DR. DEATH” WILLIAMS (W/MISSY HYATT) & THE GREAT KOKINA (W/SIR OLIVER HUMPERDINK) VS. MASAHIRO CHONO (W/HIRO MATSUDA) & MICHEL SERDAN: The South American/Asian combination of Serdan & Chono really got an unlucky draw here. Chono & Serdan put forth a valiant effort tonight and, for a first time team work pretty well together. However, after 4:22 of action, Williams executes the Oklahoma Stampede on Serdan and pins him! Chono attempts to interfere, but Kokina catches him in a Samoan drop! Dr. Death and Kokina advance to BATTLE BOWL! These two could do some serious damage!

SOULTAKER & HOLLYWOOD JOHN TATUM VS. “BOOGIE WOOGIE MAN” JIMMY VALIANT & WENDELL COOLEY: The heels isolate Cooley for most of the match and use a foreign object to work him over.

The Boogie man makes a superman comeback, pulls a foreign object of his own, a Tennessee chain, out of his tights and cold cocks tatum for the 1-2-3!

His partner, BLACKJACK MULLIGAN!!!!!Their opponents….the very popular JUNKYARD DOG!!! Ladies and gentlemen, JYD will team with THE EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WORLD….ANDRE THE GIANT!!!!
Blackjack does not take the news well! He looks like he has seen a ghost! Mulligan is yelling at Bill Watts, but the UWA President simply points to the ring!
JUNKYARD DOG & ANDRE THE GIANT VS. BLACKJACK MULLIGAN & “THE ACE” BOB ORTON (W/MISSY HYATT): JYD carries most of the load for his team, when Andre is in there, Mulligan refuses to be in the ring with him. Orton sells for the faces like they are superheroes! Orton and the Dog are in the ring when the finish comes….While Orton is coming off the ropes, Andre hits him in the back of the head with a giant sized punch. This knocks Orton silly and he walks into a Big Thump powerslam! The Dog gets the 1-2-3! JYD and Andre advance to BATTLE BOWL! Magnum says the King of the Battle Royal has got to be the odds on favorite!!!

STEVE KEIRN & TITO SANTANA VS. BRAD RHEINGANS & GENICHIRO TENRYU (W/HIRO MATSUDA): This is a fast paced, clean match that looks like it would be at home in Japan as much as it is in Texas. After 8:59 of action, Keirn DDTs Rheingans and score the pin to advance he and Tito to BATTLE BOWL!!
LOWRANCE: Ladies and gentlemen, President Watts selects…..MIKE ENOS OF THE DESTRUCTION CREW!!! (Enos and manager Blackjack Mulligsn step onto the stage) His partner will be….”SUPERFLY” JIMMY SNUKA!!! They will face the team consisting of…. Representing BADNESs UNLIMITED...LETHAL LARRY CAMERON!!! His partner...representing the DESTRUCTION CREW...WAYNE BLOOM!!!!
MULLIGAN: Are you serious, Bill Watts? I demand that you make Cameron and Snuka team up and allow my Destruction Crew to wrestle as a tag team!
WATTS: The rules say a man teams up with whomever I draw from this hopper! That’s what you signed on for and that’s how it’s gonna be, Jack!
MULLIGAN: I can see right here and now that there’s a conspiracy against me and mine!
WATTS: All I can say id for you and your boys to make the most of it!
“MEAN” MIKE ENOS & “SUPERFLY” JIMMY SNUKA VS. WAYNE”THE TRAIN” BLOOM
& LETHAL LARRY CAMERON(W/BABY DOLL): Blackjack Mulligan stands in a neutral corner, with a scowl on his face. It’s mostly Snuka against Cameron as the Destruction Crew tag out when they are about to face each other. Ventually all four men wind up in the ring together and Snuka hits Bloom with a flying bodypress to score the 1-2-3! Bloom, and Mulligan storm off afterwards as Snuka and Enos advance to BATTLE BOWL!!!!
LOWRANCE: For our final LETHAL LOTTERY MATCH, here are the teams: SCOTT HALL! His partner, the Caribbean’s top superstar...CARLOS COLON!!! They will take on ….JUMBO TSURUTA….and representing WRESTLE KINGDOM….THE GREAT KABUKI!!!
Kabuki, Hiro Matsuda, and especially Jumbo are not happy! After all, Jumbo still wears an eye patch where Kabuki spewed green mist into his eye! The Japanese are about to come to blows! And they are supposed to be a team!
KABUKI (W/HIRO MATSUDA) & JUMBO TSURUTA VS. SCOTT HALL & CARLOS COLON: Somehow, Tsuruta and Kabuki have a competitive match with Colon and Hall. At one point, Hall is slugging it out with Jumbo on one side of the ring. They are illegal and referee Tommy Gilbert is attempting to get them out of the ring. On the other side, Kabuki and Colon are fighting. Seeing the ref’s back turned, Matsuda jumps into the ring and grabs Carlitos from behind! Kabuki spits the green mist! Colon ducks and the green substance goes into Matsuda’s eyes! Matsuda bails out, blinded! Colon rolls Kabuki into an inside cradle! One...two,,,three! COLON AND HALL ARE IN BATTLE BOWL!!!

KOKINA ELIMINATED!!!
Humperdink leads his massive man away, but he certainly proved himself here tonight! Meanwhile, Dr. Death and Scott Hall are brawling along the ropes. Andre lumbers over to interrupt this clash of titans! Andre knocks Hall’s and Williams’ heads together! Andre headbutts Hall and he flies over the top rope!
SCOTT HALL ELIMINATED!!!
Dr. Death staggers to the center of the ring, right to where Kevin Von Erich and Al Perez are brawling! Perez makes the mistake of jumping on Doc! Dr. Death gives Perez an Oklahoma Stampede for his trouble, then tosses the latin Hearthrob over the top!
AL PEREZ ELIMINATED!!!
As Williams taunts the fallen Perez, Kevin goes for a flying scissors on Doc! It’s a foolhardy move as Von Erich’s legs slide off of Williams’ sweaty head and neck and kevin falls to the turf!
KEVIN VON ERICH ELIMINATED!!!
Now, it’s down to to Steve Williams and Andre the Giant!!! Andre goes on the offensive, nailing Doc with chops and headbutts! Williams looks like he’s done for! Andre drags him to the ropes and attempts to eliminate Williams! Dr. Death fights off elimination somehow! Then, amazingly, he lifts Andre! He gets the Giant off his feet! HE DUMPS ANDRE OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE FLOOR OF TEXAS STADIUM!!!
STEVE “DR. DEATH” WILLIAMS WINS BATTLE BOWL!!! DR. DEATH WINS THE 100 GRAND AND THE WORLD TITLE MATCH! HE IS YOUR NEW AMERICAN CHAMPION!!!

BONI: Steve Williams, congratulations! What can you say at a moment like this?
DR. DEATH: Baby, we said we’d have all the belts when we walked outta here tonight and after the Undisputed World Champion gives Kerry Von Erich a wrestling lesson, we’re gonna do just that!

DR. DEATH: I wanted to make sure that you boys give me the proper credit for my great victory and that you give Michael Rotunda a fair shake!
LES: They’re telling us it’s time for our MAIN EVENT!
Referee Scott LeDoux stands in the ring. We hear the music…
A long white limo pulls into the stadium and rolls toward the ring. It stops at the edge of the ringside seats and the back door opens. Undisputed World Champion Michael Rotunda exits along with Missy Hyatt and they stroll to the ring. This is a hostile crowd for the #1 man in the UWA this evening! Rotunda wears a Syracuse University letter jacket while Missy is decked in a slinky, sequined red evening gown. Middy walks in front of Rotunda, holding his title belt high above her head.
The music changes…
The crowd explodes as Dallas’ favorite son, tonight’s challenger arrives! “The Modern Day Warrior” makes his way to the ring, dressed in a blue sequined road with the outline of the state of Texas on the back. Kevin , who showered and dressed sometime between his Battle Bowl elimination and now, follows his little brother. As Kerry leaps over the top rope into the squared circle, Kevin goes to sit in the audience with Fritz, Doris, Lance, and Chris. Several female fans have handed Kerry yellow roses on his way to the ring. As mark Lowrance announces him, Kerry waves the flowers at the fans.
UWA UNDISPUTED WORLD TITLE MATCH: “ MEGABUCKS” MICHAEL ROTUNDA © (W/MISSY HYATT) VS. “MODERN DAY WARRIOR” KERRY VON ERICH: The challenger wears white trunks and white boots with red and white fringe. The champ wears a black singlet and black boots. The bell rings and here we go!
They lock up, Kerry forces Rotunda to the ropes three times and breaks clean each time. The fourth time it happens again, but Rotunda nails Kerry with a forearm. Kerry fights back with a series of punches! Rotunda looks like this has thrown off his game and he then falls prey to a series of Von Erich arm drags! The champ bails out of the ring and gets consoled by Missy at ringside!
Rotunda returns to the ring. He nails Kerry with a series of forearms before hitting a vertical suplex. Rotunda works a stepover toehold for a few minutes before kicks him through the ropes and down to the turf again! Rotunda is visble upset this time, slapping the ring apron and yelling at the fans. Missy tries to encourage him by rubbing his back and whispering something in his air. Williams, who has actually been providing balanced commentary up to now, starts yelling encouragement to the champ.
Finally, an impatient Von Erich rolls outside, slugs Rotunda a few times and rolls him back into the ring. This was a mistake as Rotunda gets the jump on Kerry as he re-enters and puts the boots to him! Rotunda hits a deep double underhook suplex on the challenger! Rotunda covers! One..two...th...kickout! The camera shows Kerry’s family looking very concerned! Both contestants get to their feet and Rotunda applies the abdominal stretch! They are in the middle of the ring and Rotunda has it locked in tight! Kerry refuses to submit and fights hard...Finally, Kerry reverses the hold! To make it even more painful, Kerry applies the abdominal claw as well as the stretch! Williams admits his colleague is in trouble and actual takes off his headset and stands! Les and Magnum urge Williams not to get involved and finally he sits and resumes commentary. A few seconds later, Rotunda manages to hiptoss his way out of the stretch, but Kerry retains the stomach claw! Rotunda finally gets one of his legs on the bottom rope and Scott LeDoux breaks the hold.
Rotunda rolls from the ring, but Kerry follows him out! Kerry slams Rotunda’s head into the ring steps! Rotunda is bleeding! Look out, Missy nails Kerry in the back of his head with her purse! Kevin is going crazy in the audience! Lance and Fritz barely restrain the eldest Von Erich brother! Rotunda executes a belly to belly express to Kerry on the Texas Stadium turf!Rotunda drags Kerry up to the ring apron and suplexes the challenger back into the ring! Cover...one...two...kickout! Rotunda gets up, comes of the ropes and lands a big elbow! One...two...Von Erich barely gets a shoulder up! Rotunda pulls Von Erich up and gets him on his shoulders….AIRPLANE SPIN! Kerry reaches out and grabs the top rope! Von Erich has the rope in both hands and pulls himself and Rotunda over the top rope onto the announce table! Dr. Death Pounds away on Kerry! Look out! Lance and Kevin Von Erich come out of their seats and come to ringside! The Von Erichs pull Williams off of Kerry! They are dragging Dr. Death away from ringside! Missy jumps on Kevin’s back to try to help Williams! In spite of Missy’s interference, Kevin and Lance continue to pull Williams away! Now Kevin and Dr. Death are fighting as Lance throws Missy over his shoulder and carries her out of the stadium! Kevin and Doc fight their way out of sight!
Meanwhile, it’s one on one as Rotunda drags Kerry back into the ring! Now, both men are bleeding!Rotunda attempts to whip Kerry to the ropes, Kerry reverses! As Rotunda comes off the ropes, Kerry catches him in an overhead press and slams him to the mat! Cover! On...two...kick out! Kerry applies the Iron Claw! Rotunda fights for all he’s worth and finally reaches the ropes! Rotunda goes to the apron, but Von Erich attempts to suplex him back in! Rotunda counters by going over Kerry’s back and rolling him up from behind! One! Two! Reversal! One...two...THREE!!!!!!
KERRY VON ERICH IS YOUR NEW UWA UNDISPUTED WORLD CHAMPION!!!! KERRY’S PARENTS AND HIS KID BROTHER CHRIS HAVE ENTERED THE RING AND EMBRACE THE NEW CHAMPION AS THE CROWD EXPLODES IN A MASSIVE POP! HERE COME KEVIN AND LANCE!!! IT’S A VON ERICH FAMILY CELEBRATION IN TEXAS STADIUM!
Cowboy Bill Watts congratulates the new titleholder and fastens the belt around his waist! Rotunda is about to leave when Kerry graciously offers him a handshake. Rotunda makes a halfhearted slap at Kerry’s hand, then leaves dejectedly. Hold on, Dr. Death is back out here and he has the ring mic!
DR. DEATH: Hey, listen to me, Von Erich! I won BATTLE BOWL! That means I get a shot at that belt! If you had any guts, you’d give it to me here and now! I already had to fight your brother and cousin! Next time, it’s gonna be you and me! You better be ready! Do you understand me?
Kerry lays the belt on the mat at his feet and gestures for Williams to bring it on! Watts and LeDoux are telling Williams to leave while Fritz is attempting to calm the Modern Day Warrior down!
Sooner or later it will be World Champion vs. American Champion and that will be AWESOME!
BATTLE BOWL has been an awesome wrestling spectacular! Join us Sunday on TNT for UWA FURY!!!

Blackjack storms off the stage! Kendall stands there, looking bemused.

LOWRANCE: ….and...THE IRON SHEIK?
Slaughter comes out, followed by the Sheik and Humperdink! They all seem almost as happy as Mulligan was!
SHEIK: NO! I won’t team with this fool! No way! I would rather be partner of one of these skinny Americans than this Gomer Pyle!
SLAUGHTER: Sheik, you maggot! You are not gonna cost me all that money! No way!
DUSTIN: Look, Kendall, we can both do ourselves a lot of good if we work together! We can get along long enough to beat these guys! They’ll kill each other!

DUSTIN RHODES/KENDALL WINDHAM VS. IRON SHEIK/SGT. SLAUGHTER(W/OLIVER HUMPERDINK) : The erstwhile Texas Broncos manage to put their differences aside and work together.

Sheik and Slaughter bang heads and Sarge falls out of the ring! Humperdink attacks Slaughter and Ivan Koloff joins in! Windham pins Sheik! An irate Sheik rolls to the turf and joins his manager and comrade in beating Slaughter! Dustin rushes top Slaughter’s aid and the brawl goes all over the stadium!

JUNKYARD DOG & ANDRE THE GIANT VS. BLACKJACK MULLIGAN & “THE ACE” BOB ORTON (W/MISSY HYATT): JYD carries most of the load for his team, when Andre is in there, Mulligan refuses to be in the ring with him.

LES: They’re telling us it’s time for our MAIN EVENT!
Referee Scott LeDoux stands in the ring. We hear the music…
A long white limo pulls into the stadium and rolls toward the ring. It stops at the edge of the ringside seats and the back door opens. Undisputed World Champion Michael Rotunda exits along with Missy Hyatt and they stroll to the ring. This is a hostile crowd for the #1 man in the UWA this evening! Rotunda wears a Syracuse University letter jacket while Missy is decked in a slinky, sequined red evening gown. Middy walks in front of Rotunda, holding his title belt high above her head.
The music changes…
The crowd explodes as Dallas’ favorite son, tonight’s challenger arrives! “The Modern Day Warrior” makes his way to the ring, dressed in a blue sequined road with the outline of the state of Texas on the back. Kevin , who showered and dressed sometime between his Battle Bowl elimination and now, follows his little brother. As Kerry leaps over the top rope into the squared circle, Kevin goes to sit in the audience with Fritz, Doris, Lance, and Chris. Several female fans have handed Kerry yellow roses on his way to the ring. As mark Lowrance announces him, Kerry waves the flowers at the fans.

They lock up, Kerry forces Rotunda to the ropes three times and breaks clean each time. The fourth time it happens again, but Rotunda nails Kerry with a forearm. Kerry fights back with a series of punches! Rotunda looks like this has thrown off his game and he then falls prey to a series of Von Erich arm drags! The champ bails out of the ring and gets consoled by Missy at ringside!
Rotunda returns to the ring. He nails Kerry with a series of forearms before hitting a vertical suplex. Rotunda works a stepover toehold for a few minutes before kicks him through the ropes and down to the turf again! Rotunda is visble upset this time, slapping the ring apron and yelling at the fans. Missy tries to encourage him by rubbing his back and whispering something in his air. Williams, who has actually been providing balanced commentary up to now, starts yelling encouragement to the champ.
Finally, an impatient Von Erich rolls outside, slugs Rotunda a few times and rolls him back into the ring. This was a mistake as Rotunda gets the jump on Kerry as he re-enters and puts the boots to him! Rotunda hits a deep double underhook suplex on the challenger! Rotunda covers! One..two...th...kickout! The camera shows Kerry’s family looking very concerned! Both contestants get to their feet and Rotunda applies the abdominal stretch! They are in the middle of the ring and Rotunda has it locked in tight! Kerry refuses to submit and fights hard...Finally, Kerry reverses the hold! To make it even more painful, Kerry applies the abdominal claw as well as the stretch! Williams admits his colleague is in trouble and actual takes off his headset and stands! Les and Magnum urge Williams not to get involved and finally he sits and resumes commentary. A few seconds later, Rotunda manages to hiptoss his way out of the stretch, but Kerry retains the stomach claw! Rotunda finally gets one of his legs on the bottom rope and Scott LeDoux breaks the hold.
Rotunda rolls from the ring, but Kerry follows him out! Kerry slams Rotunda’s head into the ring steps! Rotunda is bleeding! Look out, Missy nails Kerry in the back of his head with her purse!

Missy jumps on Kevin’s back to try to help Williams! In spite of Missy’s interference, Kevin and Lance continue to pull Williams away! Now Kevin and Dr. Death are fighting as Lance throws Missy over his shoulder and carries her out of the stadium! Kevin and Doc fight their way out of sight!
Meanwhile, it’s one on one as Rotunda drags Kerry back into the ring! Now, both men are bleeding!Rotunda attempts to whip Kerry to the ropes, Kerry reverses! As Rotunda comes off the ropes, Kerry catches him in an overhead press and slams him to the mat! Cover! On...two...kick out! Kerry applies the Iron Claw!

Cowboy Bill Watts congratulates the new titleholder and fastens the belt around his waist! Rotunda is about to leave when Kerry graciously offers him a handshake. Rotunda makes a halfhearted slap at Kerry’s hand, then leaves dejectedly. Hold on, Dr. Death is back out here and he has the ring mic!
DR. DEATH: Hey, listen to me, Von Erich! I won BATTLE BOWL! That means I get a shot at that belt! If you had any guts, you’d give it to me here and now! I already had to fight your brother and cousin! Next time, it’s gonna be you and me! You better be ready! Do you understand me?
Kerry lays the belt on the mat at his feet and gestures for Williams to bring it on! Watts and LeDoux are telling Williams to leave while Fritz is attempting to calm the Modern Day Warrior down!
Sooner or later it will be World Champion vs. American Champion and that will be AWESOME!
