THE STARS OF WORLD CLASS ON TOUR
Wednesday, Week 4, April 1983
Fort Worth, TX; 2,000 - SOLD OUT

-Pre-Show Dark Match
Skandor Akbar comes out and announces his displeasure with the recent performance of his client, Frank Dusek. He warns Dusek that if he can't win his pre-show match tonight against Adias, he'd likely drop him as a client. (D). Frank Dusek defeated Brian Adias in 5:52 by pinfall. (D-) Before the match, Bill Mercer interviewed Brian Adias about his upcoming match. (E)

-Chris Adams defeats Black Gordman in 8:32 by pinfall (C+)

-The Von Erichs come out as a unit and talk about their recent success, and how much they're looking forward to a Von-Erich dominated King of Wrestling tournament (C). Kerry then specifically hypes his first round match with Michael Hayes, and how he'll be keeping an eye on him tonight (C+)

-Jose Lothario defeats King Kong Bundy in 6:56 by countout, after Bundy misses a charge into the ringpost and knocks himself out. (D+). Bundy again was visibly tiring in a very short match, and the two were said to have very bad chemistry.

-Fritz Von Erich comes out and first announces that Bill Irwin has been indefinitely suspended due to drunken and rowdy behavior at recent shows (C). He then hypes his match coming up with Skandor Akbar (B)

-Checkmate defeats Ken Mantel by 9:27 by submission. (D-) He holds onto the hold several minutes before the ref forces him off (E) Before the match, Ken Mantel came out and says that he wanted to take on Checkmate and his "open challenge" he made two weeks ago regarding his mask and $5,000. (E)

-The Freebirds come out and discuss how even though they have lost a match or two recently, a new dawn is arriving for the them. Buddy Roberts is the new TV champion, and this Saturday at the King of Texas tournament, they promise an all-Freebird final, at which point they'd declare each other co-Kings, (C). Michael Hayes than specifically responds to Kerry's comments earlier, and hypes their first-round match (B).

-Fritz Von Erich defeats Skandor Akbar in 5:51 by submission. (C) Before the match, Skandor Akbar came out first and hyped his wrestling skills (B+). After the match, Frank Duskek (Akbar's client) and King Kong Bundy (Hart's client), attack Fritz before quickly running off - it's clear they know that the rest of the Von Erich's wouldn't be far behind (C)

-Kevin, Kerry, David, and Iceman Parsons defeated the Freebirds and Jimmy Garvin in 18:02 when David made Garvin submit. (C-) After the match ends, Michael Hayes and Buddy Jack Roberts are arguing in the ring, with Terry Gordy trying to play peacemaker. (C+)

-Overall rating: C- (The fans felt Fritz and Jimmy Garvin were used too much)

Thoughts:

-Pretty disappointing show leading up to our first big event. Popularity in the Texas area decreases from 74.0% to 73.2%.

-Lothario gets his first shot on the main part of show and his match with King Kong Bundy sucks. I blame Bundy more than Lothario. Bundy's very young at this point, but has an A rating in Looks, B in Star Quality, A in Menancing, B+ in power, and B in toughness. I think Bundy needs more "standing in the background while Gary Hart is yelling stuff" and more time playing the enforcer in non-wrestling roles. He doesn't have the stamina to comfortably get through a 6 minute match right now. He's wrestled 11 matches between us and Mid-South this month, and only two were rated C- or above - matches against Kevin Von Erich, and amazingly, Ken Mantel.

-The Bill Irwin "suspension" is just to cover his being gone via talent trade while I have Jake Roberts for 3 appearances.

-The 4X4 main event was disappointing at a C-, when previous Von Erich v. Freebirds matches have reached B and C+. Fortunately the King of Texas angle as a whole has reached C+, which should help the overall rating of the tournament show next week (the game's pre-programmed "angles" require you to do things in a certain order, the King of Texas angle involved the various announcements and hype interviews I've done this month). Any match that is part of an actual angle benefits.

NEWS

-We get 2 more rejections from big names - Abdullah the Butcher says we're not big enough, and Dusty Rhodes wants to focus on Mid-Atlantic. It looks like if we're going to get to cult status, we're going to have to go with the level of guys we have.

-The WWF wanted to talk to Randy Savage, but he's staying loyal to his dad for now. It'll be interesting to see how far loyalty goes in this game.
