THE STARS OF WORLD CLASS ON TOUR
Monday, Week 3, July 1984
Stephenville, TX (Very Small Venue)
Expected Attendance: 2,504 Ticket prices: Default
Actual Attendance: 2,000 (SOLD OUT)

-Pre-Show Dark Match
Jose Lothario & Bruno Sammartino defeated Villano IV & Super Kendo in 6:57 when Sammartino pinned Kendo. (D+). Lothario was off his game. Sammartino & Lothario have zero chemistry as teammates. After the match, Lance Russell interviewed the winners. (C)

-Pre-Show Dark Match
Iceman Parsons defeats Al Perez in 4:50 by pinfall (D). After the match, Parsons cut a promo about his win, and hyped his match against Ted Dibiase at July Star Wars. (C-)

-As the show starts, Lance Russell announces there will be a 10-man Battle Royal tonight, with the winner to get a World Title Shot against David Von Erich in the main event. (C-)

-David Von Erich cuts a promo hyping the upcoming Battle Royal. He also says that he knows a lot of fans are confused about his comments regarding the Freebirds last week on TV, and his desire to "negotiate". He tells the fans to trust him, and that it will all make sense soon. (B-)

-Roddy Piper wins a 10-man Battle Royal in 15:12, defeating Adrian Adonis, Al Perez, Iceman Parsons, Jose Lothario, Nikita Koloff, The Road Warriors, Super Kendo, and The Great Kabuki. (C-). Piper earns a World Title shot in the main event tonight. The last 4 men in the ring were Piper, Adonis, Parsons, and Road Warrior Hawk. Adonis helped Piper eliminate Hawk & Parsons, then eliminated himself to allow Piper to win, much to the surprise of the ringside announcers, considering the prior rivalry between the two.

-WCCW Cruiserweight Championship Match
-Buddy Landell defeated Villano IV by submission in 6:38 to make his 2nd defense of his title. The two showed good chemistry. Landell looked good. (C-). Landell cut a promo after the match (C-)

-Buddy Roberts & Michael Hayes cut a lengthy promo hyping their upcoming match with The Sheepherders. They say that tonight is merely a preview of the #1 Contender's Match this week on TV, and they don't plan on giving the Stephenville fans any more an effort than they have to tonight. (C)

-The Sheepherders (w/Skandor Akbar) defeated Michael Hayes & Buddy Roberts in 5:09 by countout, after Hayes & Roberts fled the match, where they were being dominated (C+) After the match, Skandor Akbar cuts a promo from the ring, hyping his team and berating the Freebirds for leaving (C+)

-Roddy Piper comes to the ring for the main event and cuts a promo, hyping the match. (B+)

-WCCW World Heavyweight Championship Match
David Von Erich defeats Roddy Piper in 27:07 by pinfall, making his 12th defense of the World Title (B).

Overall Show Rating: C+

THOUGHTS:

-Not much worked well here tonight, in what was largely a throw-away show.

-So much for the Lothario/Sammartino tag team experiment, as they have "absolutely zero" chemistry. I'd like to build up the tag team division after the Von Erich/Freebird feud is over, so I might do a little more experimenting in pre-shows to see who works well with who.

-Adonis and Piper had a brutal feud several months ago, and now they were working together in the main event. This is the "new look" southern redneck Adonis, and his new relationship with Piper will be explained shortly.

-Randy Savage has all the talent in the world, but he's completely unknown in Texas. So he's going to spend a lot of time on pre-shows and non-TV events to slowly build up his popularity.

-I was surprised by heel v. heel tag team match was as good as it was. I wanted to see how well it did before giving it too much time on TV this week.

-Piper v. David had a brief feud about 2 months ago, so I threw them together here just to put another notch on David's title belt.
