Kevin Von Erich is with Marc Lowrance.
Lowrance, “With me is the NEW Texas Champion. Kevin, it was a long time coming, but you beat Hernandez and you are the Texas Champion!”

Lowrance, “What about Kerry? He fought Flair to the end, but his injured knee let him down again.”
Kevin, “Kerry is disappointed, and he knows he can beat Flair. His knee is healing and he’s going to be back in the ring next week.”
