Fort Worth, TX (Very Small Venue)
Expected Attendance: 2,504. Ticket prices: +$3 Over Default
Actual Attendance: 2,000 (SOLD OUT)

-Pre-Show Dark Segment
Marc Lowerence interviews Owen Hart (E).

-Pre-Show Dark Match
-WCCW Cruiserweight Championship Tournament - 1st Round Match
Villano IV defeats Owen Hart in 8:43 by pinfall to advance to the Semi-Finals. (D+). The two showed poor chemistry. After the match, Marc Lowerence interviews Villano IV about his victory. (D-)

-Pre-Show Dark Segment
Marc Lowerence interviews Ricky Morton about his upcoming cruiserweight title tournament match with Buddy Landell. Lowerence points out that if Morton can get past Landell tonight, he'll continue in the tournament the night of Parade of Champions - the same night he's scheduled to face Nikita Koloff in a Russian Chain Match. Morton says the tournament is about championship gold, and the Chain Match is about revenge - he can't pass up either, so he'll do both. (C)

-WCCW Cruiserweight Championship Tournament - 1st Round Match
Buddy Landell defeats Ricky Morton in 9:46 by countout after Nikita Koloff attacked Ricky Morton outside the ring behind the referee's back. (D+). Both men were limited by injury.

-Butch Miller (w/ Skandor Akbar) defeated Bobby Eaton in 10:06 by pinfall. (B). The match suffered from a lack of psychology.

-Buddy Rose defeated Nikita Koloff (w/ Boris Malenko) in 7:47 by DQ after Koloff hit Rose with his Russian Chain. (A). The two showed great chemistry, but the match suffered from a lack of selling.

-#1 Contender Match: WCCW TV Title
-Winner to face TV Champion Buddy Roberts at Parade of Champions
-4-Corners Match, Elimination Rules
Kevin Von Erich drew with Ted Dibiase (w/Arman Hussein) by Double Countout after Iceman Parsons and then Frank Dusek (w/Gary Hart) had been eliminated. (B-). After the match, Frtiz Von Erich came to ringside and announced that as a result of the draw, Buddy Roberts will defend the TV Title at Parade of Champions against both Kevin Von Erich and Ted Dibiase, in a triple threat match. (C+).

-The Freebird music hits and once again, Michael Hayes hits the ring to confront Fritz Von Erich. Hayes says the triple threat match that Fritz just booked will be the last time he'll ever be able to show his bias against the Freebirds - as the WCCW board of directors have called an emergency meeting tonight to decide Fritz' future as commissioner. A vote of no-confidence has been taken. Hayes hints at Freebird influence in the board of directors, and then comments that Fritz will soon be able to focus on the mess that is his family, including Kerry, who Hayes heard "was passed out in an alley in Tokyo". (C). After that comment, Fritz attacks Hayes, throwing him outside the ring. The other Freebirds come quickly to Hayes' aid, and they were followed by Mike, Kevin, and David Von Erich. (B-). The Von Erichs have a 4-3 advantage in the wild brawl, until Butch Miller comes to ringside to aid the Freebirds (who had announced an alliance with Skandor Akbar and his stable a few weeks back). Referees and road agents try to separate the 8 men, who, brawl all the way back to the dressing room.

-After the ringside area is clear, Bob Baclund comes to the ring, and grabs a mic. He says that the real story in WCCW isn't the Freebirds or the Von Erichs, it's Bob Backlund and his World Championship Match at Parade of Champions. Backlund says that his record against David is better than anyone else in wrestling, and he'll add to it on Saturday. (B+)

-#1 Contender Match: WCCW Six-Man Tag Team Championship
-Winners Face the Freebirds at Parade of Champions
Kevin, David, and Mike Von Erich defeat Gary Hart's team of King Kong Bundy, Arturo Mendoza, and Brian Adias in 11:43 when David pins Adias. (B-) The Von Erichs were still hyped up from their earlier brawl from the Freebirds, and they took out their aggressions here. During the match, Michael Hayes attempted to interfere on behalf of Gary Hart's team, but he was quickly overwhelmed by the Von Erichs. Mike looked off his game. David and Mendoza looked good.

Overall Show Rating: C+

THOUGHTS:

-This was kind of a weird show, so I didn't expect a great rating. I was hurt by giving too many minutes to a couple of guys: Owen, Villano IV, Fritz, and Mike. But it put the finishing touches on the Parade of Champions setup.

-Hayes broke the news to Fritz that the board of directors is likely removing him as commissioner - an announcement on the outcome of that vote will take place at Parade of Champions.

-Ted Dibiase really hasn't done too much for us yet, but he's being built in an old-school way - not immediately being rushed into any angles. He'll get his first WCCW title match in a TV Title Triple Threat on Saturday.

-I expected Buddy Rose and Bob Backlund to have an amazing match last week, but an "A" rating out of Rose and Nikita Koloff this week was a pleasant surprise. After Rose's loan contract is up, I'll have to look into bringing him in full time.

-Morton and Landell are both very limited by injuries right now - and of course, I put them in the ring with each other, with predictable results. Landell's injury might very well cost him the cruiserweight championship - I had a big angle in mind for him, but it might just have to wait.
