THE STARS OF WORLD CLASS ON TOUR
Monday, Week 2, May 1984
San Antonio, TX (Very Small Venue)
Expected Attendance: 2,504. Ticket prices: +$3 Over Default
Actual Attendance: 2,000 (SOLD OUT)

-i've finalized my timing plans of the tv show situation. Next week will be the last TV show under my current contract. That'll give me about 3 weeks to find something else (and hopefully better) until the networks announce their new season schedule at the end of the month. If I don't find anything in that time, it means a 3 months minimum without TV. So the stakes are big.

-Pre-Show Dark Match
Roddy Piper defeats Owen Hart in 6:35 by submission. (B-). The two showed good chemistry. After the match, an unstable-looking Piper continued the attack, throwing Hart outside the ring, and onto the announce table. (D+)

-Pre-Show Dark Segment
Bobby Eaton & Koko B. Ware come the ring to cut a promo. They say with their win over The Sheepherders in a non-title match a few weeks ago, they should be named the #1 contenders to the tag titles. They said that they have heard that Fritz plans to make an announcement tonight regarding the tag titles, and they're confident he'll do the right thing. (B-)

-Kevin Von Erich comes to the ring to start the show. He says that tonight's main event is a tag team match involving Kevin, Terry Gordy & Michael Hayes. Kevin says that he was hoping Kerry would be back by tonight to be his tag team partner, but that he still hasn't heard from Kerry in months. Kerry has checked in from time to time, says Kevin, with their mother, but nobody has any idea where he is. So tonight said Kevin, he was forced to find an alternative partner, outside the family. He says he'll reveal the partner right before the match, but hints that it's someone Texas fans are familiar with, it's someone who (like Kevin), was trained by Jose Lothario, and it's someone who has decided to align himself with the Von Erichs against The Freebirds. (C)

-Nikita Koloff & Boris Malenko come out to hype their upcoming tag team match against Ricky Morton & Tommy Rodgers. Malenko & Koloff say that Morton will get a small preview of the pain that's in store for him when the two face off in a Russian Chain Match at Parade of Champions. (C-)

-Ricky Morton & Tommy Rodgers defeated Nikita Koloff & Boris Malenko in 9:50 by DQ when Koloff and Malenko double-teamed Morton outside the ring with the Russian Chain. (C). Malenko was visibly tiring towards the end of the match. After the referee called for the bell, Malenko & Koloff continued to attack Morton outside the ring, with Koloff wrapping the chain around Morton's neck, and Malenko kicking Morton in the ribbs. (C). Tommy Rodgers, still in the ring, is able to make the save - jumping off the top rope onto Koloff to break up the attack. (C-).

-Fritz Von Erich comes out to the ring to make several announcements. First, he states that tomorrow night's TV taping marks the show's "season finale". Fritz says that the company will take a couple of weeks off from TV after that, to return at the beginning of June - he asks fans to check their local listings at that time. Therefore, tomorrow's TV taping will be a historic night, says Fritz, with 3 WCCW championship matches. Roddy Piper & David Von Erich, having wrestled two 30-minute draws will wrestle again - in a 1-hour Iron Match, for David's World Heavyweight Championship. Whoever gets the most falls in the hour wins. Also tomorrow, The Sheepherders will defend the World Tag Team Titles against the winners of a 4-way tag-team match tonight, featuring Koko & Eaton, Lothario & Mike, The Road Warriors, and Dusek & Sommers. Finally, as Fritz announced last week, The Freebirds will be forced to vacate either the Six-Man Tag Title, or Buddy Roberts' TV Title. Whatever title they chose to hold onto will be defended tomorrow night. (B-)

-Arturo Mendoza (w/Gary Hart) defeated Iceman Parsons in 8:45 by pinfall. (B-). After the match, Hart hypes his client, saying he's still gunning for Tiger Mask. (C+)

-Piper's Pit
Roddy Piper is on the set of Piper's Pit. He starts to announce his guest, but then stops himself, saying he's the biggest deal in WCCW, so it doesn't make sense to bring out anyone else. Piper then goes on an insane rant about David and the World Title, hyping tomorrow night's Iron Man Match. He ends the show by beating up a random stage hand near the Piper's Pit set. (B+)

-#1 Contenders Match - World Tag Team Title
-Elimination Rules
Bobby Eaton & Koko B. Ware defeated Jose Lothario & Mike Von Erich, Frank Dusek (w/Gary Hart) & Doug Sommers, and The Road Warriors in 12:40 to become the #1 Contenders for the Tag Team Titles. (B-). The Road Warriors were eliminated first, by DQ, after Animal lost his temper and threw Doug Sommers over the top rope. Jose Lothario & Mike were eliminated next, then Dusek & Sommers.

-Kevin Von Erich comes to the ring, where Terry Gordy & Michael Hayes are already awaiting the main event match. Kevin says David's title win has turned the tide for the Von Erichs against The Freebirds, and his mystery partner tonight is another big step towards winning that war. Kevin says that this man has faced off with all the Von Erichs in the past, so they know how tough he is. He's also a guy that like Kevin, was trained by Jose Lothario. Most importantly, he's a guy who's always hated The Freebirds. Kevin introduces - Gino Hernandez. (B)

-Kevin Von Erich & Gino Hernandez defeat Terry Gordy & Michael Hayes in 20:53 by countout. The Freebirds were overwhelmed by the surprise of Hernandez - they eventually consulted outside the ring, and decided to leave the ringside area, and the match. On their way out, just before reaching the dressing room area, Hayes grabs a mic and says he and Gordy weren't going to waste any more time with this "ambush" tag team match. (B)

Overall Show Rating: B-

THOUGHTS:

-Gino Hernandez makes his return to WCCW tonight (since the dynasty started, he did wrestle 3 matches with us via loan contract - including an A+ match with David). Even though he's a natural heel, he does have a strong face rating, and we're very heel-heavy at the moment. So he's aligned himself with his old enemies the Von Erichs, to take on a common enemy. Bob Backlund's loyalties, if any, are still up in the air.

-The main event was lackluster, largely because Kevin & Gino don't have any experience teaming with each other. But Gino's introduction and The Freebird's brief post-match rated

-The 4-way tag team match was surprisingly solid. Koko/Eaton and The Sheepherders are clearly the class of the "tag team division" if such a thing exists.

-Piper goes nuts again, and has a very good match on the pre-show with Owen Hart. The B- match was Owen Hart's best-ever, by far (his previous high was a C). The Piper/David Iron-Man Match tomorrow night will be 2nd ever WCCW Iron Man Match - the first was a 1-1 draw between David and Backlund back in December (with the story being that Backlund won the first fall, which under normal match rules, would have given him the win and title). Tomorrow night's match will have a similarly unique outcome.

-Tommy Rodgers got to actually do something in a storyline tonight - saving Morton from an attack. I'd love to use a Morton/Rodgers tag team, but Rodgers isn't in Morton's league yet.
