Jim Ross: Good Evening Ladies and Gentleman, and welcome to another exciting edition of AWA World Class Wrestling! I'm Jim Ross and with me as always is "Cowboy" Bill Watts!
Bill Watts: That's right Jim, we have another good one tonight. The One Man Gang and Al Madril will go at it in another match that is part of our tournament to crown the first AWA World Class Heavyweight Champion, then in the main event we will see Kamala hopefully get whats coming to him when he faces The Junkyard Dog.
Jim Ross: That one is going to be a war, and we will recap everything that led up to it a little later on. We also have Kevin Von Erich in action tonight as well as The Great Kabuki and the team of Krusher Darsow and Boris Zhukov.
Bill Watts: Let's get the action started.
1 Fall, 30 Minute Time Limit
-One Man Gang w/Percival Pringle III vs Al Madril-
Madril came out fighting and tried to use his speed and experience advantage to keep OMG off of his game. It worked early as Madril used lots of rope work to strike at Gang from different angles, but none of the strikes were able to take the massive Gang off his feet. Madril switched up his plan to try and attempted to get the Gang to wear himself out but forcing him to chase. Madril moved under grab attempts, executed forward rolls, and anything else he could think of to stay out of the grasp of the massive man. It appeared to be working as the Gang started to slow down, and Madril went back to using running strikes off the ropes. He connected with a few and the Gang appeared to be staggered. Madril bounced off the ropes, and the Gang threw out his arm for a clothesline, Madril ducked under and saw his chance to go for the Crucifix! Unfortunately for Al, his body weight wasn't enough to drag the nearly seven foot tall monster to the ground, and he was now on his back. With a smirk, the Gang simply fell backwards, crushing Madril under all of his weight. OMG wasted no time getting to his feet, bounced off the near ropes and dropped the 747 on the still stunned Madril. Alfred Neely counted the three and this one was all over.
Winner: One Man Gang
Jim Ross: Al Madril was trying everything he could think of to put the Gang down, but the size difference was just too much to overcome.
Bill Watts: Marc Lowrance is standing by with the winner and the weirdo!
Marc Lowrance is at ringside with One Man Gang and Percival Pringle III
Marc Lowrance: I am here with the victorious One Man Gang and his manager Percy Pringle. Gang..
Percival Pringle III: THAT is Percival Pringle the Third to you Mr. Lowrance! You will address me with the proper respect or you might find yourself in the same situation that Mr. Madril did just a moment ago. You know what I'm talking about don't you? Laying on that mat, staring at the ceiling, gasping for air, after the awesome force of the 747 has come crashing down upon you!!
Marc Lowrance: It certainly was a very impressive performance.
Percival Pringle III: OF COURSE IT WAS!! Look at this man! Six Feet, Nine Inches Tall! Four Hundred and Fifty Pounds! How is anyone going to stop him? Who is going to stand between him and the AWA World Class Heavyweight Championship? Hmmm? I'll tell you who.... NOBODY!! That's Who!
With a laugh Pringle walks away and motions for the Gang to follow him. Lowrance just shrugs his shoulders as he head to our first commercial break.
-Commercial Break-
Jim Ross: Welcome back Ladies and Gentleman, up next we have Kevin Von Erich in singles action against Grizzly Evans.
Bill Watts: Evans has the size and weight advantage, but Kevin has been chomping at the bit to get in the ring here, and I don't think he's going to let that bother him.
1 Fall, 15 Minute Time Limit
-Kevin Von Erich vs Grizzly Evans-
Evans attempts the Pearl Harbor job but Kevin manages to duck out of the way and catches him with a nice dropkick that sends him into the corner. Kevin mounts him and delivers the 10 punches which the crowd counts along with and then hits him with a big bodyslam that gets a two count. Kevin never loses the advantage and spends a couple more minutes hitting moves on Evans before finally coming off the top rope with a perfect turning crossbody press that puts the big man down for the One, Two, Three.
Winner: Kevin Von Erich
Marc Lowrance is at ringside with a smiling Kevin Von Erich after his victory.
Marc Lowrance: A fine win tonight Kevin, and next week you get your shot to compete in the tournament for the AWA World Class title against your old rival Freebird Terry Gordy.
Kevin Von Erich: Thanks Marc. It felt good to get in that ring and compete here tonight. It's been a tough few months for the Von Erichs, but we have always been fighters, so that's what we are going to do. You can bet your butt that either me or Kerry are gonna win that World Class title, and then we are gonna be the Tag Team Champions too. Now next week I gotta wrestle Terry Gordy, and those Freebirds have been causing us trouble for far too long, so Gordy you'd better be ready, cause when we get in that ring, I am gonna give you a good old fashioned Texas Butt Whippin!!
Marc Lowrance: Back to you Jim!
Jim Ross: A big announcement there, Freebird Terry Gordy vs Kevin Von Erich in the tournament for the AWA World Class Championship right here next week fans! That's huge!!
Bill Watts: We will also see The Great Kabuki go one on one with Magnum TA to finish out the first round of the tournament.
Jim Ross: Magnum TA has been nothing short of dominant in his young career, but the Kabuki is a master of the martial arts, and we will see him Next!
-Commercial Break-
1 Fall, 10 Minute Time Limit
-The Great Kabuki w/Skandor Akbar vs Alexander Winston-
After Kabuki impresses with a nunchuck demonstration and then blows the green mist into the air, we are treated to a totally one sided affair as Kabuki picks apart the skinny youngster with karate thrusts and nerve holds. He finishes him with a big thrust kick and that is all she wrote.
Winner: The Great Kabuki
Marc Lowrance is at ringside with "General" Skandor Akbar and Kabuki.
Marc Lowrance: A dominating performance from Kabuki tonight and...
Skandor Akbar: That's The Great Kabuki to you Lowrance! Why do I have to correct you every single time we are out here!
Marc Lowrance: My apologies General. A dominating performance from The Great Kabuki here tonight, but I don't think he will have it so easy next week when he takes on Magnum TA in the tournament for the AWA World Class Heavyweight Championship.
Skandor Akbar: Of course he won't Lowrance! The guy that Kabuki just used as a sparring dummy didn't even deserve to be in the same ring with him. Magnum TA is a world class athlete, but that doesn't change the fact that the result will be the same. Magnum TA will fall before the martial arts mastery of The Great Kabuki and Devastation Incorporated will be one step closer to the gold!
Jim Ross: Kabuki looked very impressive this evening, but I can't help but believe that Skandor Akbar is underestimating Magnum TA.
Bill Watts: If Kabuki takes Magnum lightly he'll find himself on the receiving end of that Belly to Belly Suplex before he knows what hit him.
Jim Ross: Folks, we'll be right back after these words from our sponsors.
-Commercial Break-
1 Fall, 15 Minute Time Limit
-Terry Gordy w/Michael Hayes vs Ron Ritchie-
Gordy still had a bandage on his forehead, a reminder of his trip to Florida the week before, and he had a bad attitude to go along with it. He stuck his hand out to Ritchie for a handshake, and blasted him with a huge left hand when he took it. He then stomped him into oblivion until referee Ron West threatened the DQ. Gordy yanked Ritchie up by the hair and whipped him into the ropes, then nearly decapitated him with a clothesline. Gordy covered Ritchie and then yanked him up by the hair at two. Ron West admonished Gordy, so Gordy pulled Ritchie back up and demolished him with a Piledriver. He simply placed a boot on the chest of Ritchie and that got the three count.
Winner: Terry Gordy
Marc Lowrance moves in to interview The Freebirds, but Michael Hayes grabs the microphone out of his hands and walks away from him to wear Gordy has exited the ring.
Michael Hayes: Ladies and Gentleman what you just witnessed is my brother Terry "Bamm Bamm" Gordy doing what he does best baby! That's kicking butt and taking names, and that punk in the ring never stood a snowballs chance in hell against Bamm Bamm tonight! Now, next week my main man will be at it again, only this time he will be fighting in the tournament to crown the champion and his opponent will be none other than Kevin Von Erich. Ha Ha! Some of you may remember that The Freebirds and The Von Erichs have crossed paths once or twice before, and I'll tell you something jack, we are looking forward to beating on them again. Ain't that right Terry!
Terry Gordy: Kevin Von Erich, you stand between me and the Heavyweight Title. So if I got beat you up again like I done before, than that's just what I'm gonna do. You'd best come ready for a fight boy, because I'm fixing to do you like I did this punk tonight.
Michael Hayes: and if your idiot brother decides to stick his nose in our business, you'd better believe that me and Buddy Jack will be hanging around to make sure that things are nice and fair, you understand that? Freebird Fantasia rolls on next week, and Brother Bamm Bamm gets one step closer to bring gold home to Badstreet!!
Hayes tosses the microphone at Marc Lowrance as he struts away from ringside. A still fired up Gordy draws his fist back at some fans who are giving him a hard time as he heads out of the building.
Jim Ross: Terry Gordy is definitely going to be a factor in this tournament Bill. He is a big tough man who looks to have quite the chip on his shoulder.
Bill Watts: I don't care for his choice of friends, but Gordy is for sure a favorite. This Von Erich/Freebird war has been raging for a while now, and neither side has been able to get a clear advantage.
Jim Ross: We'll have to see what happens next week. We'll be right back with the Oriental team of Kim Duk and Tora Yatsu in action.

1 Fall, 15 Minute Time Limit
-The Russians (Krusher Darsow/Boris Zhukov) vs Rusty Brooks/Frank Williams-
This was a mauling as soon as the bell rang as both Russians charged across the ring and attacked Williams and Brooks. Williams was singled out and just pounded on by both Darsow and Zhukov who made frequent tags and just decimated Frank with slams, elbow drops, and anything else they felt like unloading on him. Zhukov delivered a big headbutt to Brooks on the apron for good measure, then dropped a diving headbutt on Williams for the finish.
Winners: The Russians
Marc Lowrance is at ringside with Darsow and Zhukov.
Marc Lowrance: A very one sided victory as you made short work of your opponents here tonight.
Krusher Darsow: That's right we did Lowrance! Word came down from the Kremlin that General Secretary Chernenko was going to be watching tonight and we wanted to make sure to show him that a couple of fat, stupid Americans were no match for his Soviet Brothers!
Boris Zhukov: Next we will become World Class Tag Team Champions, and we will lay the belts on his desk.
Krusher Darsow: YEAH!
The Russian duo storms off as they are heartily boo'ed by everyone in attendance.
Bill Watts: Those two no good sons of...
Jim Ross: Bill....
Bill Watts: I'm sorry folks, but those two just make my blood boil. They may well be entered in the tournament for the Tag Team Titles but I can certainly hope for anyone else to win it.
Jim Ross: There are lots of fine tag teams here in AWA World Class Wrestling, they will have a tough hill to climb. Let's take our final break and come back with our main event!
-Commercial Break-
1 Fall, 30 Minute Time Limit
-Kamala w/Friday & Skandor Akbar vs The Junkyard Dog-
As soon as the bell rang Kamala charged across the ring after JYD, but the Dog nailed him with a huge right hand to the mouth that stopped the Ugandan Giant in his tracks. JYD didn't let up and peppered his larger opponent with punch after punch, staggering the big man across the ring. Dog then attempted an Irish whip, but Kamala reversed it and caught JYD with a thrust kick to the gut on the rebound. Kamala then began dropping the chops onto the neck and back of the Dog and dropped him to his knees. Kamala picked the Dog up and backed him into the corner where he rammed his weight into him several times over and then tossed him to the mat and began to choke him. Referee David Manning was close to disqualifying Kamala when the plea's of Friday and Akbar finally got the big man to relinquish the choke. Kamala got to his feet and began to slap his belly, he then ran into the ropes and attempted his Big Splash, but The Junkyard Dog rolled out of the way! Both men were slow to their feet, and when they were up began exchanging chops and right hands.
Dog got the better of the exchange and nailed Kamala with a big kick to the gut, and then bounced off the ropes and connected with a shoulder tackle that had Kamala teetering on one foot. Dog whipped Kamala into the ropes and nailed him with a huge clothesline that sent the Ugandan Warrior off his feet! JYD covered, but it only got a count of two. JYD dropped to the mat and gave Kamala a headbutt that seemed to hurt the big guy, and Kamala rolled out of the ring. JYD followed him to the floor and Friday attempted to stop the Dog from following Kamala, but he got a right hand to the face for his troubles!
Kamala rolled back into the ring, and when JYD followed him, Kamala began to lay in the stomps. Kamala pulled JYD up by his hair and went for another choke, but the Dog fired another headbutt up the middle and rocked Kamala. Again JYD laid a barrage of punches into Kamala and had him reeling, finally Dog laid in one final big right hand and it spun Kamala in a 360. During his rotation, one of his arms clipped referee David Manning and knocked him to the canvas. The Dog paid no attention and kept on Kamala, nailing him with another big headbutt that sent him collapsing into the turnbuckle.
Skandor Akbar was wildly waving his arms on the floor, and The Great Kabuki came quickly toward the ring and slid in under the bottom rope. The reaction of the crowd alerted JYD that something was happening and he turned just in time to see Kabuki flip his hair back to spew the green mist. Fortunately, the Dog was able to duck and all of the mist went directly into the face of Kamala!! JYD blasted Kabuki with a clothesline, then scooped the blinded, squealing Kamala up into a huge Powerslam! David Manning who was just regaining his senses counted the One, Two, Three!
Winner: The Junkyard Dog
Jim Ross: KABUKI ACCIDENTALLY BLINDED KAMALA!! JYD WINS!!
Bill Watts: Akbar is absolutely beside himself at ringside. Friday is still laid out, Kamala is clawing at his eyes like a wounded animal, and Kabuki is spinning in circles. This is wild Jim!
Jim Ross: Devastation Incorporated is in shambles, and The Junkyard Dog advances in the tournament for the AWA World Class Championship. Ladies and Gentleman, be sure to join us next week for the final first round matches in the tournament and a whole lot more action! Good Night!!
