Bill Mercer opens the show.
Mercer, "Welcome to 'World Class Championship Wrestling'. Just when you thought the Texas summer was hot, it heats up even more. Tonight, Kerry Von Erich takes on Michael Hayes. The hatred between these two is even stronger than before. We will also hear from Kevin Von Erich. His rivalry with Adrian Street is getting even more intense. Let's go to the ring and see, a newcomer from North Korea, Tiger Chung Lee."
Match #1
Tiger Chung Lee vs. Johnny Mantell
The big North Korean is new to Dallas and Mantell will beca god first test. Mantell is very aggressive and Lee returns in kind. Johnny goes for a bulldog, but Lee blocks it. He goes to the martial arts tactics. He lands a big chop and covers Mantell. Referee Rick Hazzard counts the fall.
Winner-Tiger Chung Lee
Kevin Von Erich is with Marc Lowrance.
Lowrance, "With me is Kevin Von Erich. Kevin, Adrian Street holds the Texas Title, and continues to embarrass his opponents by putting makeup and dresses on them after the match."
Kevin, "That has no place in wrestling. Street can wrestle, but he thinks he's better than everyone else. I want that title back, and I want to teach Street a lesson."
Lowrance, "You will have that chance, next week, you will face Street with the title on the line."
Kevin, "I'll be ready, I'll get that title back!"
Lowrance, "Let's see Kevin in action."
Match #2
Kevin Von Erich vs. Kelly Kiniski
We hear,
And Kevin Von Erich comes down the aisle. He climbs into the ring and the crowd goes wild. Kiniski is a good test. The first few moments are very even. Kiniski is very sharp. Kevin picks ip the pace and takes the fight to Kelly. Kevin climbs to the top rope and hits the flying bodypress for the win.
Winner-Kevin Von Erich
Marc Lowrance is with Gary Hart, Sunshine, Chris Adams and Gino Hernandez.
Lowrance, "With me are Gary Hart, Sunshine and the Dynamic Duo. Mr. Hart, Chris Adams is the American Heavyweight Champion, but he and Gino Hernandez are in tag team action tonight."
Hart, "Chris and Gino are the top wrestlers in the business. Chris continues to defend his title, and Gino is a threat to any title. I thought I'd give the fans a treat, and let them see both men in action."
Lowrance, "Sunshine, do you have anything to add?"
Sunshine, "Von Erichs, I told you I was coming back to Texas to teach you a lesson! Kerry, you're not a Champion, and neither is Kevin! Chris holds the top title! I told ypu this would happen!"
Lowrance, "Sunshine is correct, let's see the Dynamic Duo in action."
Match #3
Chris Adams and Gino Hernandez w/"Playboy" Gary Hart and Sunshine vs. Bob Marcus and Mike Reed
The "Dynamic Duo" are one of the best tag teams in the game, and they prove it. They tag in and out and their opponents have no chance. Hernandez hits the elbow drop on Marcus for the win.
Winners-Chris Adams and Gino Hernandez
Match #4
Non-Title Match
The Fantastics (American Tag Team Champions) vs. Rick Davidson and Killer Brooks
The rugged pair of Davidson and Brooks wait with referee David Manning. We hear,
The American Tag Team Champions come to the ring. Rogers and Fulton have run the Nightmares out of Texas and waiting for their next challenge. The bikers try to slug it out and it works for a period of time. Brooks traps Fulton in the corner, and Bobby Is in trouble. Bobby Is able to escape and tag in Rogers. Tommy hits a dropkick and sends Brooks to the floor. The match continues until Fulton uses the Fantastic flip to pin Davidson. As the Fantastics celebrate in the ring, Gary Hart, Sunshine and the Dynamic Duo come to ringside. Hart takes the house mic.
Hart, "Rogers, Fulton, you look nice in those fancy jackets and bow ties, and you can wrestle a little bit, but so can these two. Chris and Gino are on top of their games, and we want those titles! Of you got any guts, put 'em on the line!"
Rogers and Fulton nod in agreement.
Bill Mercer is in the studio.
Mercer, "Let's hear pre recorded comments from Michael Hayes."
We see Hayes in the interview area.
Hayes, "Freebird Fantasia is back in Texas! Kerry Von Erich, I got a score to finish with you, and I'm going to do it tonight! I don't need my brothers' help, I'm going to do this all by myself! You're going to walk down Badstreet, and not come back!"
Kerry Von Erich is with Marc Lowrance.
Lowrance, "Kerry, you heard what Michael Hayes said. What do you think?"
Kerry, "Hayes has a big mouth! He says nobody is going to help him, I hope he's telling the truth. I want to end this, man to man, once and for all."
Lowrance, "Let's see what happens."
Match #5
Kerry Von Erich vs. Michael Hayes
Michael Hayes struts to the ring. If they hated him before, the Texas fans are boiling over now. Boos turn to cheers as we hear,
The "Modern Day Warrior" comes down the aisle and jumps pver the ropes. Hayes takes to the floor and bad mouths Kerry, who calmly motions for him to return to the ring. Hayes climbs back in and the match is on. There is very little wrestling. Both men batter one another. Things begin to go Kerry's way, and Hayes takes to the floor again. This time, Kerry follows. They battle it out on the Sportatorium floor. Both men work their way back to the ring. Kerry whips Hayes into the ropes and clamps on the Von Erich claw. Hayes struggles to the res and Lubich calls for the break. Kerry slowly takes over and is dominating the match. They end up on the floor again. This time, Kerry returns to the ring, Hayes does not. Bronko's count reaches 20 and Hayes is counted out. Michael takes the mic.
Hayes, "Not tonight, Von Erich, not tonight! Your days coming, soon!"
This doesn't phase Kerry as he stands, defiantly, in the ring.
Winner-Kerry Von Erich (Count Out)
Bill Mercer closes the show.
Mercer, "Kerry gets some revenge, but not enough. Next week we are going to see if Kevin can repay Adrian Street."
