Winner-Ric Flair
Marc Lowrance joins the Champion in the ring.
Lowrance, “With me is the World Champion, Mr. Flair, it is one week until you meet Kerry Von Erich. This will be the toughest test of your championship.”
Flair, “Marc Lowrance, every night is a test for me, but I am man enough to handle that challenge. Kerry Von Erich won the title one year ago, but he couldn’t keep it. It’s one thing to win it, another to keep it! Ric Flair is the man to keep the title! Von Erich, it’s going to be a long, hot day in Dallas and it’s going to end with me as the Champion! WOOOOOOOO!”

Lowrance, “With me is Kerry Von Erich, Kerry, Ric Flair looked very sharp tonight. You meet him in a week at Texas Stadium. The fans will be behind you, is that going to be enough?”
Kery, No one said Flair wasn’t good and it won’t be easy to beat him, but I did it before and I am a lot better wrestler than I was last year. Flair is cocky, but that won’t help him on Sunday. I am going to beat him and then keep this title for a long, long time.”
Lowrance, “The eyes of the wrestling world will be on Texas Stadium on April 27. Let’s see Chavo Guerrero and Chick Donovan in the ring.”
