Bill Mercer opens the show.
Mercer, "Welcome to 'World Class Championship Wrestling'! We are still recovering from the big show at Texas Stadium. Ric Flair walked out with his World Title, but just barely. The great news is Kevin Von Erich is the new Texas Champion, and Kevin will be in our main event, defending that title against the Magic Dragon. Let's get things started with Marc Lowrance."
Match #1
Gary Young vs. Chief Jules Strongbow
Young attacks Strongbow at the bell. The Indian from Oklahoma is in trouble. Young whips him into the ropes and drops Jules with an elbow. Young goes for the cover, but Strongbow kicks out. Jules lands a tomahawk chop and that stops Young. The match is close, but Young ends it with a piledriver.
Winner-Gary Young
Bill Mercer is at the announce table.
Mercer, "Things are happening quickly in 'World Class'. We have several newcomers headed to our area. The first is this man. Adrian Street is a top wrestler from Great Britain, South Wales, to be exact. Let's watch this video and let me remind you, don't judge a book by its' cover."
Mercer, "Mr. Street and his valet Miss Linda will be here next week. You have to see them to believe them. Now let's go to the ring for another newcomer. Steve Simpson is a young, second generation wrestler from Africa. He is in the ring next."
Match #2
Steve Simpson vs. Bob Marcus
Simpson is a fine athlete with rock star looks. He goes after Marcus with a high flying style. Marcus fights back, but Simpson hits a dropkick for the win, a very impressive debut.
Winner-Steve Simpson
Match #3
Al Madril vs. Killer Brooks
Two rugged veterans go at it in this one. It is a brawl from the opening bell. Madri lgets the early edge and gets a two count, but Brooks kicks out. Al goes after Brooks again, but Killer lands a boot to the midsection. Now we are back to the fisticuffs. Both men have their chances and get nearfalls, but no one can finish. Both men tumble through the ropes. They battle it out on the floor. Referee Rick Hazzard's count reaches 20 and both men are counted out.
Result-Double Count Out
Skandor Akbar and "Devastation Incorporated" are with Marc Lowrance.
Lowrance, “With me is General Skandor Akbar and his men. General, both of your tag teams were successful on Sunday. The Long Riders defended the American Tag Team Titles and your six man team was victorious. Things are going well for you.”
Akbar, “That’s right Lowrance! I am on top of the wrestling world! My men hold the tag team gold, and soon, singles gold will be mine as well!”
Lowrance, “Well. your six man team of Killer Khan, the Missing Link and Kamala will be in action next week. They will defend the World Six Man Titles against Kerry, Kevin and Mike Von Erich, right here on this program.”
Akbar, “Old Man Fritz pulled more strings, but it’s going to backfire! My men are going to destroy those snot nosed kids! The Von Erich control of Texas ends next week!”
Lowrance, “The six man titles are on the line next week, now let’s see the American Tag Team Champions in the ring.”
Match #4
American Tag Team Championship
The Long Riders (Champions) w/General Skandor Akbar vs. Brian Adias and Johnny Mantell
The Champions defeated the Pretty Young Things at Texas Stadium and are riding high. The popular team of Mantell and Adias will be a good test. Scott Irwin and Adias open the match. Adias uses his speed and Irwin is in retreat. Brian traps Irwin in a sleephold. Scott runs in and breaks it up. This brings Mantell in and we have a pier six brawl. Referee David Manning gets things sorted out and it's Bill Irwin and Mantell in the ring. The "Cowboy" holds his own, but Bill uses a big boot for the win.
Winners-The Long Riders
Kevin Von Erich is with Marc Lowrance.
Lowrance, "With me is, the new Texas Champion, Kevin Von Erich. Kevin, congratulations."
Kevin, "Thank you Marc. It wasn't easy, but I am so happy to have this title. The Texas Title belongs with a Von Erich."
Lowrance, "You meet the Magic Dragon tonight, and then next week, you and your brothers challenge Devastation Incorporated for the World Six Man Titles. I know that title means a lot to the Von Erichs as well."
Kevin, "You're right about that, Marc, we want that one too. I know Kerry and Mike will be just as fired up as I am."
Lowrance, "That's next week. Now Kevin takes on the Magic Dragon. "
Match #5
Texas Championship
Kevin Von Erich (Champion) vs. The Magic Dragon
The Dragon and referee Bronko Lubich wait in the ring. We hear,
Kevin Von Erich comes to the ring. He climbs into the ring and the crowd goes crazy. The bell rings and we are underway. Kevin is a house afire. He goes after the masked man with a vengeance. He whips the Dragon into the ropes and goes for the Von Erich claw. The Dragon ducks out of the way. The masked man goes to the martial arts tactics and it works briefly. Kevin rallies and wins with the flying bodypress. Kevin stands in the ring and Kerry von Erich comes down the aisle and climbs into the ring. The crowd gets even louder. Now Mike comes to the ring. Kerry takes the mic.
Kerry, "Doesn't my brother make a great Texas Champion!"
The crowd gets even louder.
Kerry, "Just all three of us are going to be great six man champions!"
The crowd cheers again. Kevin takes the mic.
Kevin, "And next time Flair shows up, Kerry is going to be the new World Champion!"
The crowd blows the roof off the Sportatoruim. The show ends with three Von Erichs standing in the ring.
