WORLD CLASS WRESTLING (LIVE TV SHOW)
Wednesday, Week 4, September 1984
Dallas, TX (Small Venue)
Expected Attendance: 5,009; Ticket Prices: default
Actual Attendance: 5,000 (SOLD OUT)

-Pre-Show Dark Match
Dick Murdoch defeats Al Perez in 4:58 by pinfall. (B+). The two showed great chemistry. Murdoch looked good.

-Pre-Show Dark Match
The Road Warriors defeat Perry Jackson & Barry Orton in 5:27 when Hawk pinned Orton. (C). Animal looked good.

-Curt Hennig defeats Arturo Mendoza (w/Gary Hart) in 11:54 by pinfall. (B+). As Hennig catches his breath after the match, a brief video plays hyping the Hennig/Murdoch angle - highlighting Hennig's upset win over Murdoch, and Murdoch's subsequent sneak attacks of Hennig in his quest for a rematch. (C+). After the video, Hennig cut a promo confirming the rumors that he's finally accepted the rematch, which will take place this Saturday night at Fall Star Wars. (C+)

-Piper's Pit w/guests: The Road Warriors & The Sheepherders (w/Skandor Akbar). Roddy Piper says that after the events of last week's Piper's Pit, he's been trying all week to arrange an organized and civil discourse between The Road Warriors and Sheepherders on his show. However, he claims that WCCW's insurance company wouldn't let that happen unless both teams were securely separated. So Piper has set up two small cages on his set, that both teams will enter, at which time he'll get to the bottom of this issue. The Road Warriors come out first, and enter one of the cages, followed by the Sheepherders and Skandor Akbar. The Road Warriors demand to know why The Sheepherders have dodged them for months, and why they've only agreed to singles matches at Fall Star Wars. Akbar responds in a rambling, insulting, tirade, never really answering the questions. Eventually, the Road Warriors break loose from their cage, and approach the Sheepherders (and a terrified Akbar). The Road Warriors tip the Sheepherders cage over the set, causing all three men to fall into a heap onto each other. The Road Warriors triumphantly leave the set, as Piper tries to free The Sheepherders and Akbar. (C+)

-Non-Title Match
Mike Von Erich defeats Villano IV in 5:51 by DQ after interference from Villano V (Mike's challenger for the Cruiserweight Title at Fall Star Wars). (B-). The two showed great chemistry. After the match, Lance Russel interviewed Mike about his title defense this Saturday. (D+).

-Iceman Parsons (w/Bruno Sammartino) drew with Adrian Adonis (w/Roddy Piper) by Double DQ after Bruno and Piper both got involved. (B-). After the match, Sammartino and Parsons hyped their tag team match with Adonis and Piper at Fall Star Wars. (B-)

-David & Kevin Von Erich drew with Koko B. Ware & Bobby Eaton in 30:00 after the time limit expired. (B+). The performance of Koko B. Ware stood out. During the match, the announcers filled the audience in about the events of the Monday night show in Jacksonville, when Eaton defeated Kevin 1-on-1, and David drew with Koko after a wild brawl. During this match, Koko constantly attempted to cheat behind the back of both the referee, and his partner Eaton. After the match, David cut a promo hyping his World Title defense against Bobby Eaton, saying he knew it was going to be a great match, but he warned Koko B. Ware not get involved. (B)

Overall Show Rating: B-

THOUGHTS

-That show pretty much rocked - I'm disappointing with the overall rating though, don't know why I couldn't pull out a B or B+. (There might be some issue where there's a penalty if the main event isn't the highest rated match on the card).

-That's the second time Murdoch has carried Al Perez to a B+ match. Amazing.

-I knew Hennig and Mendoza would have a great match, but maybe it was a mistake to run it here as the opener, overshadowing the rest of the card. I wanted to get Mendoza back in the ring, as he, Bundy, Tiger Mask, and Kabuki have been out of the spotlight for a few weeks.

-I think Mike's improving - there's a number of opponents he can deliver B- matches with now. He just can't wrestle for all that long.

-Eaton and Ware are both still faces, but Ware is acting very heelish.
