David Von Erich defeats Adrian Adonis in 11:42 by pinfall by submission to make his 2nd defense of the World Title. (A+).
Overall Show Rating: B (This show can be considered a success, it should have increased our popularity).
THOUGHTS:
-Wow - Adonis and David certainly clicked tonight, delivering WCCW's 4th A+ match, and without even an angle behind it. Adonis' highest match rating for us before tonight was a "B".
-The Kerry & Kevin tension rises to a new level tonight, but there's still no plans for an all-out heel turn for anyone just yet.
-Before tonight, Chris Adams had wrestled one "B" level match, with Terry Gordy, otherwise, his highest match rating was a C+. Tonight, he tops that with a B+ match with Manny Fernandez. The TV Title semi-finals are now set - Kerry v. Kevin, and Adams v. Parsons. The Tag Title tournament finals are also set, with Koko & Eaton v. Garvin & Hayes.
-I was pretty shocked with the quality of the random Butch Miller/Barry Orton match on the pre-show. Orton's only been hire than C- once in 1-on-1 matches, and tonight he gets a B-. Butch Miller is clearly the more talented Sheepherder.
