Bill Mercer opens the show.
Mercer, “Welcome to ‘World Class Championship Wrestling’. We have a great show for you this week. We will see, the man from South Wales, Adrian Street, and you won’t want to miss that. In our main event, the World Six Man Tag Team Titles will be on the line. The Von Erichs, Kerry, Kevin and Mike, challenge Devastation Incorporated. Let’s go to Marc Lowrance in the ring.”
Match #1
Skip Young vs. Killer Brooks
Two veterans open the show. The crowd is solidly behind Young. Brooks goes to every illegal move he knows. He chokes, punches and kicks, and Skip is on trouble. The minister's son rallies. He uses his quickness and Brooks is on the defensive. Young lands a dropkick for the win.
Winner-Skip Young
Match #2
Steve Regal vs. Chief Jules Strongbow
Regal is a blond newcomer from Florida. He is a top Jr. Heavyweight and will be a great addition to the World Class roster. Strongbow gets off to a good start. He moves quickly and Regal is a bit frustrated. Steve is able to rebound. He goes to mat wrestling and this gives him an edge. Regal suplexes Strongbow and covers him for the win.
Winner-Steve Regal
Bill Mercer is sitting in the studio.
Mercer, “Prior to tonight’s show. I spent some time with Adrian Street and Miss Linda in their locker room. Here is what happened.”
We see Street sitting at a makeup mirror. Linda brushes his hair.
Mercer, “With me are Adrian Street and Miss Linda. Mr. Street, you have come here from England…”
Street, “Let me correct you, I am from South Wales, more specifically, the Royal Forest of Dean.”
Mercer, “O.K., the Royal Forest of Dean. How do you like Texas?”
Street, “Miss Linda and I took a limousine ride around Dallas today, a very depressing city, but I did see several muscular cowboys walking about.:
Mercer. “I am sure MIss Linda was glad to see them.”
Street, “Why? Ouch!!! Linda, you nattering nincompoop! You pulled my hair! Get out of here, I will finish this by myself!”
Linda leaves the locker room.
Street, “Now Mercer, I need your advice. Should I wear the metallic purple eyeshadow, or the shocking pink?”
Mercer, “I think that is up to you, Mr. Street. Now let’s talk about your potential opponents. There are many great wrestlers in Texas.”
Street, “Let me correct you, there are many good wrestlers in Texas. There is one great one, myself. I fear no man, and certainly no Texan.”
Mercer, “When we return, Adrian Street takes on, a Texan, Johnny Mantell.”
Match #3
Adrian Street w/Miss Linda vs. Johnny Mantell
Referee David Manning and Mantell wait in the ring.
Play and Adrian Street saunters to the ring. He enters the ring with Miss Linda and prances around. Mantell is nonplused. Street offer his hand to Mantell, but Mantell refuses to shake it. The match is on. Mantell matches Street move for mover for a while. The tide begins to turn. Street is very sharp and he outwrestles Mantell. Street clamps on the cobra hold. Mantell is out. Linda enters the ring and hands Street a bag. Street takes out makeup and lipstick and paints Mantell’s face. The Sportatorium boos loudly.
Winner-Adrian Street
Match #4
Chris Adams w/”Playboy” Gary Hart and Sunshine vs. Mike Reed
Adams has challenged Kerry Von Erich for the American Heavyweight. Many experts think Chris can take the title from Kerry. Adams comes to the ring amidst the boos of the crowd. He was once one of the most popular wrestlers in the world, but no more. Young Mike Reed is looking to make a name for himself, but it won’t be easy. Adams takes over from the opening bell. Reed gives it his best, but the “Gentleman” is too much. Adams lands a superkick for the win.
Adams takes the mic from Marc Lowrance.
Adams, “Kerry, I know you are in here somewhere! I am coming for that title and there is nothing you can do about it!”
Winner-Chris Adams
The Von Erichs are with Marc Lowrance.
Lowrance, “With me are the Von Erich brothers. Gentlemen, we all know how much the World Six Man Tag Team Titles mean to your family. Tonight you take on Akbar’s Devastation Incorporated, they are wild and hard to beat.”
Kevin, “We know it won’t be a wrestling match. We lost those titles in January and now is our chance to regain them, I have my two brothers with me and we will get our titles back!”
Kerry, “Mike and Kevin are my brothers, and I am so proud to go to the ring with them. Akbar, your men are wild, but you can’t beat the Von Erichs!”
Lowrance, “Kerry, you heard Chris Adams. He wants the American Heavyweight Title.”
Kerry, “One thing at a time. We’ll take care of Akbar tonight, and then, Adams, you’re next!”
Lowrance, “The World Six Man Title match is next.”
Match #5
World Six Man Tag Team Championship
Killer Khan, the Missing Link and Kamala (Champions) w/General Skandor Akbar vs. Kevin, Kerry and Mike Von Erich
The Champions come to the ring first. They are a wild menagerie, but they are three of the most vicious men in the sport. They wait with referee David Manning and we hear,
The Von Erich family comes to the ring and they are ready for business. The bell rings and it is Killer Khan and Kevin in the ring. Khan goes to work with kicks and chops. Kevin fights back with good old Texas rights and lefts. We have a pier six brawl. Kevin goes for the claw, but Khan blocks it. He tags in the Missing Link and the prehistoric monster goes to work with headbutts. Kevin tags in Mike and the youngest wrestling Von Erich takes on the Link. Mike holds his own, but the Link is too powerful. He tags in Kamala and the Ugandan warrior begins to work over Mike Mike is in trouble. He tries to tag out, but Kamala keeps him at bay. The crowd wants to see Kerry in the ring. Finally. Mike tags in Kerry and the American Heavyweight Champion enters the ring. He works over Kamala. Akbar is worried at ringside. Kerry whips Kamala into the ropes and clamps on the Von Erich claw. Mike and Kevin run in to cut off the rest of Devastation Incorporated. They brawl as Manning checks on Kamala. The bit Ugandan is out. The Von Erichs regain the titles! All three celebrate and are joined by Lance, Brian Adias, Iceman King Parsons and Al Madril.
Winners-Kevin, Kerry and Mike Von Erich (New World Six Man Tag Team Champions)
Bill Mercer closes the show.
Mercer, “The Von Erichs regain the titles and the fans are going crazy. What a night of action! The hot Texas is approaching and WCCW is heating up. We have a treat for the fans in Denton.
