Match #2

World Class Television Championship

Rip Oliver (Champion) vs. Bob Marcus



The "Crippler" won the title last week. The veteran from Florida will be very tough to beat. Marcus is game, but the match is all Oliver. He wins with a piledriver.

Winner-Rip Oliver






Marc Lowrance is with the "Exotic" Adrian Street and Miss Linda.






Lowrance, "With me are the controversial Adrian Street and Miss Linda. Mr. Street, you have been undefeated since arriving in Texas, but your strange manner has upset some people."



Street, "What strange manner? I am a refined British gentleman. I have come from the Royal Forest of Dean. I came to this dreary, desert to bring color and excitement. I have done that. Look at me, tonight I am wearing 'Amazon Azure' eye shadow and the sequins on my 'Terrifying Teal' wrestling tights are 'Shocking Silver'. What is unusual about that?"



Lowrance, "For you, nothing, for Texans, that is very unusual."



Street, "Let's talk about Texans, one Texan in particular. Kevin Von Erich is a muscular young man with the classic look of a Western TV star. Imagine what Miss Linda could do to him with an hour in the makeup chair, and imagine what I could do to Kevin in the wrestling ring."



Lowrance, "That's an interesting way to look at things. Let's see Mr. Street in the ring."



Match #3

"Exotic" Adrian Street w/Miss Linda vs. Kelly Kiniski



Kiniski is tough, but he hasn't seen anything like Street. Adrian skips around the ring and Kiniski is dumbfounded. Street drops the act and tears into Kiniski. Street is a buzzsaw. He takes Kiniski down and punishes him. Kiniski puts up a fight, but Street uses the cobra hold to put Kiniski out. Linda brings her bag into the ring. Street applies makeup and lipstick to Kiniski as the crowd boos.

Winner-"Exotic" Adrian Street



Kevin Von Erich is with Marc Lowrance.



Lowrance, "With me is Kevin Von Erich. Kevin you have been defending the Texas Title for some time, but now it appears the unusual Adrian Street has set his sights on you."



Kevin, "Don't let his act fool you. He's one tough dude. He wants you think he's some kind of sissy, but he's as tough as they come. If he wants a piece of me, I'm not hard to find."



Lowrance, "It looks like Kevin and Adrian Street are on a collision course."



Match #4

Non-Title Match

Kevin Von Erich (Texas Champion) vs. Chick Donovan



Two muscular men meet in this one. Donovan is able to use several power moves to get the early edge. Kevin fights back and the the Texas Champion is now in control. Kevin whips Chick into the ropes and slaps on the Von Erich claw. Donovan is down and out.

Winner-Kevin Von Erich



Gino Hernandez, Chris Adams. Sunshine and Gary Hart are with Marc Lowrance,



Lowrance, "With me are Gary Hart, Sunshine and the Dynamic Duo. Gentlemen, you continue to have success, but you don't hold any titles."



Hart, "That fact makes you very happy Lowrance, I know that."



Lowrance, "Not at all, Mr. Hart, but it is a fact."



Hart. "Look, Chris Adams, or Gino Hernandez, could take a title tomorrow, or we could win a tag team title when we want. The summer is going to belong to me, Sunshine, and pur men."



Lowrance, "We will see the Dynamic Duo in tag team action against Al Madril and Brian Adias, next."



Match #5

Two out of Three Falls

Gino Hernandez and Chris Adams w/"Playboy" Gary Hart and Sunshine vs. Al Madril and Brian Adias



First Fall-Madril and Adias wait with referee Bronko Lubich. We hear,





The Dynamic Duo hit the ring. They strut around and put the bad mouth on Madril and Adias. The bell rings and it's Adams vs. Adias. Both men trade holds and counter holds. Adias matches Adams hold for hold. Brian rolls up Chris for a two count and the "Gentleman" is livid. He tags in Hernandez and the "Handsome Halfbreed from Highland Park" comes in. Gino goes after Adias. Brian is on trouble and he tags in Madril. Al tries the roughhouse tactics on Gino. It works for a while, but Hernandez is too much. He uses an elbow drop to win the fall.

Winners-Gino Hernandez and Chris Adams



Second Fall-Madril and Adias fight like they have their backs against the walls. Madril goes after Hernandez and gino is in trouble. Adias tags in and continues the attack. Hart shouts instructions. Adams tags in and the brawl continues. Chris hits a superkick on Adias and gets the pin.

Winners-Gino Hernandez and Chris Adams



Marc Lowrance closes the show.



Lowrance, "The Dynamic Duo looks sharp again. The summer is getting hotter and so is World Class Championship Wrestling. Join us next Saturday Night when our main event will feature, Billy Jack Haynes and Gary Young."



Dark Match

Skip Young vs. The Iron Sheik



Young and referee Rick Hazzard wait in the ring. Rip Oliver and the Iron Sheik come to the ring. The Sheik carries a pair of Persian clubs. Oliver takes the mic from Joe Rinelli.



Oliver, "My name is Rip Oliver and I am the leader of the 'Clan'! The first member of this group is the Iron Sheik. The Sheik will now demonstrate the Persian clubs. Each club weighs 80 pounds, and no American, but myself, can do this!"






The Iron Sheik demonstrates the clubs. He puts them down and the match begins. Young uses his speed and is very successful. The Sheik is frustrated. He picks up the pace and uses a series of suplexes to stun Young. This sets up the camel clutch and Young submits.

Winner-The Iron Sheik

The Clan has taken a step up with the addition of The Iron Shiek. Street in Texas is, indeed, weird but Kevin is right to take him serious.

[Kimmel]

Rip Oliver and The Iron Sheik will be fun to have in Texas, I like how you are mixing the stars you expect in World Class like the Von Erichs, Iceman, the Dynamic Duo and mixing in guys like Sheik, Oliver and Street who may have had small runs in World Class but are becoming bigger parts of yours. Street and Kevin have the makings of a great feud, I think it will bring the fans of World Class alive, Street's antics could cause a couple of riots in some Texas towns.

So you think if we did a house show at Ft. Hood, Street could rile up the members of the First Cav?

Thanks for the feedback. I am very much loking forward to booking Adrian.

Really loved the Street promo this week. Oliver bringing the clan to Texas should be a ton of fun.
