Also on the card the Central States Champion The Iron Sheik will be in non-Title action all the way from the great white North; and in the main event "Crusher" Jerry Blackwell will team with his manager Colonel Buck Robley against the pair of Sheik's so-called Army who eliminated them from the Christmas Day Battle Royal; "The Diabolical" T.G.

COMMERCIAL BREAK
Sgt. Slaughter and Hacksaw Higgins lead the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance before the show.
Match: Hacksaw Higgins w/ Sgt. Slaughter vs. Gypsy Joe w/ Sheik Abdullah the Great
Referee: Sonny Myers
Gypsy Joe does indeed appear to be a man who feels no pain early on as he weathers the attacks of the larger Hacksaw Higgins in stride early on. Gypsy holds his own, but ends up looking at the ceiling of Memorial Hall when Hacksaw Higgins hits the big powerslam for the win while Sheik Abdullah stomps his feet at rinside.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Back from break soul music is playing and in the ring Koko B. Ware is dancing it up with his weird manager Percival Pringle III! The ever observant Wall guesses they're celebrating their win of $25,000 at the Christmas Day Battle Royal four days ago. Ring announcer Terry Garvin is in the ring to conduct the interview, but Koko snatches the microphone away from him telling him that the man won't be leading the "$25,000 Man" around by a leash! No sir. With that kind of bank, Koko wagers he's richer than most of this poor, cornfed audience here in Missouri; that is for sho'! Now Ware couldn't be happier having won the Battle Royal! He couldn't be happier walking to the pay window and picking up that $25,000 check! Cause Koko sure does like living in style! And you know what the first thing he bought was?...
Well it was a fine Christmas dinner for him and Percy! With all the trimmings! But the second thing he bought, were the services of Miss Honey here! He then brings our attention to the valet of the former Uptown Boys who is standing it the ring with him. The fans only boo louder as he tells us to look her over. Look at that poise, that figure, that grace, that fine alabaster skin! Now she was cheap! Tired of pining over the loss of her Boys! Hell, Koko coulda probably bought anyone in the audience here and still had money to spare! Shoo baby!
Just then however CSW Legend and Missouri Champ Harley Race comes out from the back to interrupt the crowd who is now throwing garbage at Koko. Race says that he don't know what the hell Koko B. Ware is thinking or what the lovely Miss Honey is thinking aligning herself with a dog like B. Ware; but this right here. This chickanery in the ring in the final straw for Harley! It was bad enough the way Koko eliminated him from the Christmas Day Rumble! He robbed him! And all these people saw it! And now he's doing one better robbing the people of Missouri of their valuable time! So instead Harley proposes he and Koko get busy in the ring right now!
Good lawd! Percy interrupts. His man's time is more valuable than that Harley! He's got money to burn and places to spend it! So don't be out here wasting their time with his hot air! If he wants Koko in the ring, he'd better put something on the line! Namely that Missouri Championship! Cause we all know Koko loves the gold!
Harley says that Percy is gonna learn the meaning of hot if he don't shut his fat, ugly yap!
Koko then tells Harley there's no need for that. Race has something he wants, the Missouri Championship! And B. Ware is willing to give him the $25,000 he won right here and now to get it! So how's about it Race? $25,000 in your pocket and Koko B. Ware becomes the new Missouri Champion!
The fans don't like this idea at all. And neither does Race. Harley tells him there's not enough money on this Earth to make him give him this belt! But if Koko wants to put that money on the line; he'll give him a match to earn it!
Percy doesn't seem to like the idea of putting the money on the line for the Title, but Koko B. Ware does! He tells Harley Race he's on sucka!

COMMERCIAL BREAK
Central States Champion the Iron Sheik is with Sheik Abdullah the Great who says they've heard from the whiny, the complainy CSW fans about how Iron Sheik has disappeared! Well they aren't gonna apologize! Oh no they're not! Because Iron Sheik isn't no Buzz Tyler! He's in-demand everywhere and the further he travels, the more well he is reward; the largers grows the coffers of the Sheik Abdullah the Great and the International Wrestling Alliance! And the further the reach of the Army extends! Take just this past week; where were you Sheik?!
The Iron Sheik tells us he was in IWA friendly country of Canada! Nowhere are the people more evil, more reviled; and talka funnier! Sheik no understand anyone there eh? But man does he love Poutine! And while he there, very evil Prime Minister of Canada Brian Mulroney give him very special gift; Wayne Getzky signed hockey stick! Camera man zoom on such prize! He then say while he was there he also defeat no-good Canadian troublemaker Raymond Rougeau to retain CSW Championship!
5-minute recap of a match in Montreal, Canada where The Iron Sheik put the Central States Title on the line against Raymond Rougeau. The two men have a good back and forth bout that see The Iron Sheik retain via the Camel Clutch while the audience boos. Sheik Abdullah however swears cheering in Canadian just sounds like booing and they all love the Sheik. The Champ holds the Clutch in longer than he needs to just to rile the fans up some more.
Kevin Wall then sends us to our next match with referee Tom Andrews.
Match: El Rey del Rock 'N Roll vs. Johnny Saint
His Lorship Johnny Saint is in the ring already with his Squire Littlebrook who serves him some tea. He is budy sipping it when out from the back comes the masked luchador El Rey del Rock 'N Roll who has Lanny Poffo with him. Saint asks Rey if he'd like some tea, but then laughs that an uncultured, gardener like himself doesn't drink tea. The masked man seems to take offense to this and smacks his tea cup out of his hands! El Rey Saint a fight which sees both men get in some offense before del Rock 'N Roll gets the win via a flying crossbody pin! During the match all attempts by Squire Littlebrook are thwarted as Lanny Poffo chases him around ringside and into the back.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Final advertisement for next week's show and Kevin Wall is now with CSW Tag-Team Champions The Easy Riders! "Killer" Jim Morris and "Maniac" Matt Borne don't give a damn whether Little Jimmy didn't get his bike for Christmas! Wah! Wah! Wah! If the Uncle Toms wanna act like they're owed something, then the Easy Riders will give them it right here next week. A good ol' holiday beating!
Kevin Wall then sends us to the main event which will run for the television time remaining, where your referee for this evening is Dave Nevins.
Main Event: Colonel Buck Robley & Jerry Blackwell vs. T.G. Stone & Mongo # 1 w/ Sheik Abdullah the Great
The "Diabolical" T.G. Stone holds his own against Colonel Buck Robley. Not sure much against Jerry Blackwell. His real problem however is chosing Mongo # 1 as his partner tonight. He gets in some offense, but takes the pinfall after being hit by "The Crusher's" jumping Splash while Stone himself nurses a toothache following getting smacked clean out of the ring and over the top rope by Robley's bionic forearm splash when he attempted to break the cover.
And we're outta time!
