Bill Mercer opens the show.
Mercer, “Welcome to ‘World Championship Wrestling’. We are fast approaching the ‘David Von Erich Parade of Champions’. We know that the World Champion, Ric Flair, will be there on April 27, but we can also announce that he will be here in the days prior to the show. Ric Flair will be on World Class Television. Let’s talk about tonight’s program. The Long Riders are here. They were scheduled to defend their American Tag Team Titles against Al Madril and Chavo Guerrero. Madril and Guerrero had transportation problems and cannot be here. Ed Watt and the Championship Committee are meeting in the back and will have an announcement soon. Let’s get the show started. Marc Lowrance is in the ring.”
Match #1
Skip Young vs. Gary Young
Two talented wrestlers open up the show. Both men go after one another and the match is very even. Gary roughs up his namesake, but Skip fights back. Gary takes Skip down and uses the ropes for leverage and gets the pin. Skip argues with referee Rick Hazzard, but it does no good.
Winner-Gary Young

Akbar, “Chickened out, that’s what happened!””
Lowrance, “Well, I don’t think that is true, but Ed Watt and the Championship Committee have remedied that problem. The Long Riders will meet the Pretty Young Things, with the titles on the line, tonight.”
Akbar, “Those two clowns! You have to be kidding me. My men will take care of business in record time.”
Lowrance, “So it’s the PYTs vs. The Long Riders for the titles.”

Lowrance, “That’s good to hear. Now about you. You meet Gino Hernandez on the Texas Stadium show. The match will be no disqualification, no count out.”
Kevin, “I want the Texas Title. Gino has escaped before, but this time I’ll take the title and the Texas Title will be back with the Von Erichs.”
