THE STARS OF WORLD CLASS ON TOUR
Monday, Week 1, May 1984
Atlanta, GA (Tiny Venue - Southeast)
Expected Attendance: 1,009. Ticket prices: Default
Actual Attendance: 1,000 SOLD OUT

-Pre-Show Dark Match
Super Kendo defeats Owen Hart in 5:53 by pinfall. (D+). After the match, Lord Alfred Hayes interviewed Super Kendo about his victory. (E+).

-Pre-Show Dark Match
Ricky Morton defeated Al Perez in 6:35 by pinfall. (C-). Morton looked good. Perez was exhausted by the end of the match.

-Gary Hart came to the ring with Frank Dusek and Doug Sommers to hype their upcoming match with The Road Warriors. He emphasized that at this point, he represents Dusek, and not Sommers, though he'd be scouting Sommers during this match. (C+)

-The Road Warriors defeat Frank Dusek (w/ Gary Hart) & Doug Sommers in 4:54 when Animal pinned Sommers. (C-). Animal looked good. After the match, The Road Warriors cut a promo, hyping themselves (C-)

-Roddy Piper is on the set of Piper's Pit. He hypes his victory over Adrian Adonis at the King of Texas Wrestling event, and his subsequent status as #! contender for the World Title. He introduces his guest on the Pit, the new World Champion, and his opponent tonight, David Von Erich. Piper is very respectful of David at first, congratulating him on his victory. David hypes his victory over Terry Gordy in the finals of the tournament, and hypes the challenge that Piper provides tonight. (C+). When the discussion turns to tonight's match, things start to get a little more testy. Piper says he's largely been ignored in the world title scene in WCCW, and that David's reign is going to be very short. David's trademark temper kicks in, telling Piper that if he's as good a wrestler as he is a talker, the fans are in for a great match. Piper then waits for an opening, and strikes David with his microphone at a moment when David glances away. Piper then strikes David with his Piper's Pit bar stool, before the attack is broken up. (B)

-Tommy Rodgers hypes his upcoming match with Nikita Koloff, noting that he scored a victory the last time they faced off (albeit by countout). (D-)

-Nikita Koloff (w/Boris Malenko) defeated Tommy Rodgers in 7:31 by pinfall. (C). After the match, Boris Malenko hyped the Russian Chain match that has now been set between Nikita Koloff and Ricky Morton for the Parade of Champions at the end of the month. (C).

-Bobby Eaton & Koko B. Ware come out to hype their upcoming World Tag Team Title Match against The Sheepherders. They say they earned the match after their victory in a non-title match last week, and that they've been waiting two long months to win the belts back. (C+)

-WCCW World Tag Team Championship Match
The Sheepherders (w/ Skandor Akbar) drew with Koko B. Ware & Bobby Eaton in 15:23 following a double count-out. (B-). The Sheepherders make their 4th defense of the tag titles. Miller seemed off his game.

-WCCW World Heavyweight Championship Match
David Von Erich drew with Roddy Piper in 30:00 when the time limit expired. David makes his 1st defense of the world title.

Overall Show Rating: B

THOUGHTS:

-A great show in any region, but especially since we were in the southeast.

-Piper officially turned heel tonight with his attack on David - it's my last ditch effort to get something useful out of him. Piper has main-event level stamina, so he's able to go 30 minutes with no problem.

-I continue to be impressed by the quality of matches in our current tag team title feud. I know Eaton & Ware would rather be singles stars, and they will be someday, but for now, it's a very hot feud.

-The Road Warriors will continue to destroy everyone on the undercard - I'm hoping they can improve enough to have a violent feud with The Sheepherders down he road.
