Mercer, "Welcome to 'World Class Championship Wrestling'. We are back at the 'Super Pit'. Last week's show was exciting, but this week will top it. We have an American Tag Team Title match, the Fantastics challenge the Long Riders. Kerry Von Erich is here, and we will talk about his match, next week, against Chris Adams. Now let's go to the ring, the 'Exotic' Adrian Street. Marc Lowrance has the mic."
Match #1
"Exotic" Adrian Street w/Miss Linda vs. Hoot Gibson
Street takes the mic from Lowrance,
Street, “Hoot Gibson, what a precious name. You look like a Texan, a ‘Yellow Rose of Texas’, Since I’ve been here, I don’t know about roses, but I’ve seen lots of yellow Texans, and it looks like you’re another one.”
Street tosses the mic down and Gibson attacks. He strikes early, but it doesn’t last long. Street goes after Gibson and his British wrestling style punishes Hoot. Street clamps on the cobra hold. Gibson is out. Linda comes into the ring and hands Street a bad. Asrian takes out lipstick and makeup and begins to apply it to Gibson. The crowd is livid.
Winner-Adrian Street
