Winner-Al Madril
Gary Hart, Sunshine, Gino Hernandez, the Great Kabuki, and Chris Adams are with Marc Lowrance.
Lowrance, “With me are Gary Hart, Sunshine and the Dynamic Duo. Gentlemen, and Lady, you have no titles, what is next for the Dynamic Duo?”
Sunshine, “I’ll tell you what’s next! The Von Erichs have embarrassed me and Gino and Chris for the last time! I want them stopped and I want them stopped now! I came back to Texas to get rid of them, and I want that done, now!”
Hart, “Sunshine is excited, but she’s right. The Von Erichs, thanks to Fritz and the other officials, have maneuvered themselves into a position to have all the titles. Well, I can maneuver too. I met with Ed Watt, and he went to the Championship Committee and they agreed to a title match. Chris Adams will face Kerry Von Erich for the American heavyweight Title sometime in the future. Chris and Kabuki are going to do a little softening up of Kerry tonight. “
Sunshine, “Kerry, I am going to get my revenge, and it starts tonight!”
Lowrance, “So much going on. Kabuki and Adams vs. the Von Erichs tonight, Kerry vs. Chris later on, and now Gino Hernandez will be in the ring next.”
Match #3
Gino Hernandez W/”Playboy” Gary Hart and Sunshine vs. Skip Young
Gino comes to the ring with Hart and Sunshine. Sunshine puts the bad mouth on Young. She has changed a lot since her return. The bell rings and the match is on. Young looks very good and this frustrates Hernandez. Gino tries another avenue. He goes to the roughhouse tactics, and it works for a while. Gino turns the tide and wins it with an elbow drop. Hernandez is still on of the best in the business.
Winner-Gino Hernandez
Match #4
Non-Title Match
The Long Riders (American Tag Team Champions) w/General Skandor Akbar vs. Mike Reed and Bob Marcus
The Champions have held the titles for some five months and it doesn’t look like anyone can beat them. The bell rings and Bill Irwin opens up with Marcus. Bill manhandles Marcus. Scott tas in and continues the attack. Marcus tags in Reed and he takes a horrible beating. Scott uses the big boot to win the match.
Winners-The Long Riders
Kerry and Kevin Von Erich are with Marc Lowrance.
Lowrance, “With are the Von Erich brothers. Gentlemen, you talked on two of Gary Hart’s men tonight. You heard Hart out here earlier, Chris Adams wants a shot at Kerry’s title.”
Kerry, “Let him get in the ring with me. I’m not ducking him. Tell Hart to sign a contract and I’ll take care of Adams!”
Lowrance, “This is a match that all the fans would love to see. Now about tonight’s match. You know that Hart and his men would love to inflict some damage on both of you.”
Kevin, “Hart and his men are always looking to hurt someone, especially Kerry and I. We’ll be ready and then Kerry will take care of Adams, and if Hernandez, or Kabuki want some, I’ll take care of them!”
Lowrance, “Kerry and Kevin are ready, They take on Adams and Kabuki, next.”
Match #5
Two out of Three Falls
Kerry and Kevin Von Erich vs. Chris Adams and the Great Kabuki w/”Playboy” Gary Hart and Sunshine
First Fall-Hart’s men and woman wait in the ring and we hear,
Kerry and Kevin make their way to the ring. They climb into the ring and both teams are ready. Referee David Manning keeps the teams apart until the bell ring. Adams and Kerry start the match. These two will meet, soon, for the American Title. This will be intense. Both men are cautious. They trade holds and counter holds. Kerry whips Adams into the ropes and goes or the Von Erich claw. Adams ducks and is able to tag in Kabuki. The man from Singapore tries his martial arts skills and has some success. Kerry tags in Kevin and the oldest Von Erich goes to work. Kevin hits the flying bodypress to take fall number one.
Winners-Kerry and Kevin Von Erich
Second Fall-Hart’s men are desperate and the wrestle like it. Kabuki is especially vicious. He chops and kicks away at both brothers. Adams tags in and he and Kevin battle it out. They end up on the floor and continue to slug it out. Manning is counting. At 18, Adams dives back in the ring. Manning’s count reaches 20 before Kevin can get back in the ring. Adams has outsmarted the Von Erichs. The match is even.
Winners-Chris Adams and the Great Kabuki (Count Out)
Third Fall-This is a brawl. They both battle it out and wrestling goes out the window. Kerry and Adams are in the ring. They are close to the ropes and Kerry goes for a suplex. While he has Chris up, Sunshine reaches in and grabs his leg. Adams falls on top of Kerry. Adams uses the ropes for leverage and Manning counts 1...2...3! Chris Adams has pinned Kerry Von Erich!
Winners-Chris Adams and the Great Kabuki
Lowrance closes the show.
Lowrance, “Thanks to Sunshine, Chris Adams has pinned Kerry Von Erich! We know that these two men will meet for the American Heavyweight Title in the near future. Will Sunshine play a role in that match? We will talk about that next week, and we have a great main event, Iceman King Parsons will meet Killer Khan. Join us on Monday night live, or Saturday night on KTVT.”
Dark Match
Adrian Street w/Miss Linda vs. Chief Jules Strongbow
The crowd is interested in seeing Street. He is a British Champion and a tough veteran with a strange style. Strongbow and referee Bronko Lubich wait in the ring and we hear,
Street and Miss Linda “prance” down the aisle. The Ft. Worth crowd takes an instant dislike to Street. Linda holds the ropes open for Street. Once in the ring, she begins brushing his hair. He stops her and chastises her for doing it incorrectly. The bell rings and Street offer his hand, or wrist, or something to Strongbow. The Chief ignores it and goes after Strongbow. That was a mistake. The effeminare Street turns into a buzzsaw. His unique European style is hard to deal with, as is his viciousness. He pounds away and Strongbow and the Chief is in trouble. Street slaps on the cobra hold and Strongbow is out. Miss Linda comes into the ring and hands street her handbag. Street proceeds to cover Strongbow’s face with makeup and lipstick. Adrian Street has arrived in Texas!
