Bill Mercer opens the show.
Mercer, “Welcome to “World Class Championship Wrestling”. We have another hour of great wrestling for you. We have a fantastic eight-man tag team match tonight. Kevin, kerry and Mike Von Erich will team with a mystery partner to take on Gary Hart’s team of Chris Adams, Gino Hernandez, kabuki and their mystery partner. We have Fritz Von Erich and his sons in the ring. Let’s go to Fritz.”
Fritz, Kerry, Kevin and Mike Von Erich are in the ring with Marc Lowrance.
Lowrance, “Fritz Von Erich, the President of World Class Championship Wrestling’, has asked for this time. Fritz. the floor is yours.”
Fritz, “Thank you Marc. I am going to get right to the point. The boys and I are tired of Gary Hart and his group of loudmouths. We challenged them to an eight man tag team match tonight, with a mystery partner. We had a plan in mind and we are going to reveal it tonight. Most people know, I had a brother who also wrestled named Waldo. He and I didn’t always see eye to eye, but he was a great wrestler and he was tough. His son has started wrestling. he’s been in Oregon and some other states getting experience. Now he’s in Texas and I can tell you this, he is every bit as good as his dad, and he is a ‘true’ Von Erich, Lance Von Erich!”
Lance come to the ring and embraces his cousins. Gary Hart comes down the aisle. He takes the house mic.
Hart, “Fritz Von Erich, this has to be a joke. This punk kid is our fourth man? Another worthless Von Erich? I was expecting Bruiser Brody, or Andre the Giant.”
Fritz, “Hart, you got a big mouth! I don’t see your man, I don’t even think you have one.”
Lowrance, “We don’t need one, but we got one. Lowrance, you tell mercer to move things around on the TV schedule. We’ll be out here, next break, with our man.”
Lowrance, “We can do that, but for now, big news! a fourth Von Erich!”

Winner-The Magic Dragon
Gary Hart, Sunshine, Chris Adams and Gino Hernandez are with Marc Lowrance in the ring. hart takes the mic from Lowrance.”
Hart, “Lowrance, you just stand back and let me do the talking. I can’t believe that old man Fritz drug out another punk Von Erich. Like I said before, we don’t really need a fourth man, but Sunshine and I spent a long time looking at film and getting scouting reports from all over the country. We talked to managers and wrestlers and considered a lot of different men, We narrowed it down to three men and we chose the best of them. Von Erichs, your worst nightmare is coming true tonight. Our new man is from the Badlands of South Dakota, Black Bart!”
Black Bart comes to the ring and shakes hands with everyone. Sunshine wants to give Bart a hug, but a killer look from the big cowboy stops her in her tracks. Black Bart, Chris Adams and Gino Hernandez stand in the ring.

Bill Mercer is seated in the studio.
Mercer, "Fans, I am back in the studio to talk about our next match. Gary Hart managed to convince Chris Adams to turn his back on the fans. He has now added Black Bart to his group that already contained Gino Hernandez and th Great Kabuki. This group is one of the most powerful in all of wrestling. those are the men who wear the black hats, now for the men in the white ones. Since the tragic death of David Von Erich, the popular Texans have been one man short. Now their cousin, Lance, has arrived. The odds are even. It's like 'High Noon' in an old western town. What happens tonight sets the stage for the coming weeks and months in World Class Championship Wrestling. That match is next."
Match #5
Gino Hernandez, Chris Adams, the Great Kabuki and Black Bart w/"Playboy" Gary Hart and Sunshine vs. Kerry, Kevin, Mike and Lance Von Erich
Hart's men and referee David Manning wait in the ring. We hear,
The Von Erichs hit the ring. Marc Lowrance hurries through the introductions and gets out of the ring. The bell rings and Kevin and Gino are in the ring. they stare down one another and lock up. Gino wrestles and Kevin counters. The first minute, or two, is an exhibition of scientific wrestling. This part of the match is even. Kevin tags in his cousin Lance and the newcomer enters to a strong ovation. Hernandez tags in Kabuki and he and Lance go at it. The action picks up as Mike tags in, as does the rugged Black Bart. Bart roughhouses Mike and the younger Von Erich is in trouble. Mike tags in Kerry. Chris Adams yells for Bart to tag him in. Bart agrees and we have Kerry and Adams face to face. These two men hate pne another and they wrestle like it. They trade holds, but for the most part, it is a fight. Both men take turns punching, kicking and brawling. The pace picks up and eventually, all eight men end up in the ring, brawling. Manning has no choice, but to disqualify both teams.
Result-Double Disqualification
Bill Mercer closes the show.
Mercer, "What a brawl! Fans, the Von Erichs on one side and Gary Hart on the other, this a powder keg ready to blow. The late winter and spring in Texas will be explosive. Let's talk about next week. We have an exciting feature match. Iceman King Parsons returns to action against a man returning to Texas, the rough biker from the beautiful Victorian town of Waxahachie, Killer Brooks. Don't Miss that one."
