Winner-The Great Kabuki
Lowrance is with Tarzan Tyler and his men.
Lowrance, “With me are the World Six Man Tag Team Champions and their manager Tarzan Tyler. Gentlemen, you have destroyed everyone in your path, but the Von Erichs would like to regain those titles.”
Tyler, “Les Erichs Von ne valent rien et faible! Ils ne peuvent pas vaincre trois grands athlètes canadiens-français! Lefebvre Mad Dog, Frenchy Martin et Sailor Blanc va détruire le Erichs Von! Le Canada sera toujours triompher Texas!”
Lowrance, “Mr. White, we know that Mr. Tyler refuses to speak English, can you translate?”
White, “The great Tarzan Tyler says that we will destroy the Von Erichs. They are weaklings like all Americans. No Texans will ever defeat three Canadian athletes!”
Lowrance, “Time will tell. When we return, the Champions will be in the ring.”

Non-Title Match
Mad Dog Lefebvre, Frenchy Martin and Sailor White (World Six Man Tag Team Champions) w/Tarzan Tyler vs. Jose Lothario, MIke Reed and Dale Veasey

Marc Lowrance is with Gary Hart and Gino Hernandez.
Lowrance, “With me is, the American and Texas Champion, Gino Hernandez and, his manager, Gary Hart. You have Kerry Von Erich on the horizon. That has to worry you.”
Hernandez, “First of all, I am your Champion! Now let’s talk about Kerry Von Erich. He’s a loser, just like his old man. I’m not worried about someone like him. I have both titles and plan on keeping them for as long as I want.”
Hart. “Gino is very confident, and he has reason to be. Kerry Von Erich has a powerful body, but a less than adequate brain. He may be strong, but Gino is smart and that will be the difference.”
Lowrance, “Would you care to talk about Chris Adams?”
Hart. “No.”
Hernandez and Hart walk away.
Match #4
Texas Championship
Gino Hernandez (Champion) w/Gary Hart vs. Mr. Ebony
The masked man will be a good test for the Champion. Ebony will wrestle a physical style and break the rules just like Gino.This is a fight, rather than a wrestling match. Hernandez is very sharp. Ebony has his moments, but Gino wins with an elbow drop.
Winner-Gino Hernandez
Buck Zumhofe and Iceman King Parsons are with Marc Lowrance.
Lowrance, “With me are, Buck Zumhofe and Iceman King Parsons, the American Tag Team Champions. Gentlemen, you and the Long Riders have gone back and forth and neither team has taken a definitive win. Tonight, in a ‘Captain’s Match’ Iceman, you take on Bill Irwin, what do you think?”
Parsons, “I love wrestling with my buddy, Buck, but I like to be in the ring by myself too! Have mercy! Old Scandor Akbar done sent Bill Irwin out by hiself, I’m going to teach him a lesson for a lifetime, ‘cause mama says it bees that way sometime!”
Zumhofe, “Iceman, you can count on me to keep an eye on Akbar and that other big, ugly Irwin.”
Main Event, Two out of Three Falls
Captain’s Match
Iceman King Parsons vs. Bill Irwin w/General Skandor Akbar
First Fall-Buck Zumhofe and Scott Irwin come to the ring with their partners. This is a combustible situation. All four men try to get to one another. Referee David Manning takes the mic from Joe Rinelli.
Manning, “Look, this is a ‘Captain’s Match’! I want it to be one on one. Akbar, you have a manager’s license, I can’t do anything about you, but Zumhofe, Scott Irwin, I’m throwing you out! Get to the back! If you interfere in any way, you man loses!”
Zumhofe and Irwin argue, but they head to the back and the bell rings. Parsons uses his quickness to confuse Irwin. Bill is frustrated and tries to rough up Parsons. It doesn’t work, and Iceman uses the butt bump for the win.
Winner-Iceman King Parsons
Second Fall-Irwin has his back to the wall and he wrestles like it. He overpowers Parsons. Iceman tries everything he can think off, but it doesn’t work. Bill wins with a kneedrop.
Winner-Bill Irwin
Third Fall-The tension in the Coliseum is so thick, you can cut it with a knife. Both men pull out all stops. Irwin dominates the early moments of the match. His size and strength is too much for Parsons. Iceman is in trouble, but he will not quit. He fires back with rights and lefts. The big man from Minnesota is in retreat. Akbar climbs up on the ring apron. Parsons whips Irwin into him. Akbar falls to the arena floor. Irwin staggers into mid-ring. Parsons hits the butt bump and covers him. David Manning counts 1...2...3! Iceman King Parsons wins!
Winner-Iceman King Parsons
Marc Lowrance closes the show.
Lowrance, “Fans, what a match! Those two teams will have to settle things, once and for all. If you look in the ring now, you see the Von Erichs preparing to take on two more of Devastation Incorporated, Kamala and the Missing Link. Remember, if you come out on Monday nights you will see matches that are not televised. Finally, let’s talk about next week’s show. We have a great main event for you, ‘Gentleman’ Chris Adams will take on The Missing Link, don’t miss it!”
Dark Match
Kevin and Kerry Von Erich vs. Kamala and the Missing Link w/General Skandor Akbar
Akbar has revenge in mind. He doesn’t want to lose two big matches in one night. The Von Erichs have a lot on their minds, with the American Title and the World Six Man Titles, but they can’t overlook Kamala and the Link. The Von Erichs control the early action, as once again, Kamala and the Link have trouble with the rules of tag team wrestling. Referee Bronko Lubich tries to get things sorted out. Finally, Kamala is able to trap Kerry in the corner and chokes away. Kerry fights his way out. He tags in Kevin and the older Von Erich takes the fight to the Ugandan Kamala is able to tag in the Link and the prehistoric one tries to use his head...literally. Finally all four men end up in the ring and Lubich does his best to control the action. In the confusion, Kevin hits a flying bodypress on the Link for the win. Akbar is livid!
