Dallas, TX. (Small Venue)
Expected Attendance: 5,512; Ticket Prices: +$2 over default
Actual Attendance: 5,000 (SOLD OUT)

-The fans tonight are going to pissed that Terry Funk, advertised for his huge "bounty match" with Manny Fernandez is not in the arena. He was booked by Mid-Atlantic, it was a conflict that I just didn't catch. Storyline-wise, I feel like I've come up with a good solution, but the show rating will surely suffer

-Brian Adias comes to the ring. He informs the fans that Terry Funk is not in the arena, and will not be facing Manny Fernandez tonight. Adias blames Manny, claiming Manny knew his career was in jeopardy, so he somehow sabotaged Terry Funk, and caused him to miss the show. Adias then says he himself has to catch a flight out of Dallas, but that the $100,000 bounty remains open - anyone who can take Manny out tonight will cash in. (C+) Fritz Von Erich then comes to the ring, telling Adias he's not going anywhere yet. Fritz says he promised the fans that Manny Fernandez will be in action tonight. Further, Fritz says that even though he's always reluctant to order non-champion wrestlers to compete in matches, he's ordering a match to take place tonight - Manny Fernandez v. Brian Adias, hardcore rules. Adias freaks out - it's been almost 4 months since he first turned on Manny, and he has successfully avoided him ever since. (B-)

-Bruiser Brody defeated Barry Orton in 6:33 by pinfall in a dominating victory. (C-) The two showed poor chemistry.

-Buddy Roberts defeats Owen Hart in 6:31 by pinfall. (C). Roberts looked good, Hart was tiring towards the end of the match. After the match, Roberts grabs a mic and apologizes for keeping Mike in the figure-four leg-lock well past the end of the match last week (on the tv show that will air this weekend). The fans aren't buying the apology. (C)

-Ted Dibiase cut a promo about his upcoming match with Buddy Landell. He says that last night's time limit draw with Landell was a fluke, and that he'll be able to quickly take care of business tonight. (C+). Buddy Landell then cut a promo, claiming that the longer time limit tonight will allow him to prove he's the better wrestler (B).

-Ted Dibiase defeated Buddy Landell in 16:47 by pinfall in an evenly contested match. (B). The two showed poor chemistry.

-Hardcore Rules Match
Brian Adias defeated Manny Fernandez after constant interference from Gary Hart's other two clients - Chris Adams and King Kong Bundy. (C-). After the match, Manny faced a 3-1 attack. Fernandez held his own, even dispatching Bundy from the ring. However, Adams and Adias were able to re-gain the advantage, and battered Fernandez to the mat. (C+) Soon, however, the crowd erupted when Bruiser Brody hit the ring. Adams and Adias quickly escaped to the outside. Brody however, then setup a table outside the ring, and then attached Fernandez, before powerbombing him from the ring, through the table outside the ring. Fernandez landed awkwardly, and Gary Hart's crew celebrated. As medical personnel strapped Fernandez onto a backboard, Brody demanded, and received, the $100,000 bounty from Adias. (C)

-Bobby Eaton & Koko B. Ware come to the ring to hype their upcoming Tag Team Title Defense with The Sheepherders. The point out that they actually challenged the The Sheepherders to the match. (C-)

-WCCW World Tag Team Championship
Bobby Eaton & Koko B. Ware defeated The Sheepherders in a wild, overbooked match in 13:44 when Koko pinned Miller. The champs make their 3rd defense of the tag titles. Eaton looked good. (C+)

-Chris Adams hyped his upcoming Steel Cage match with Iceman Parsons. Adams admits that dispatching Parsons has been tougher than he thought it would be, but that tonight, his decision to dump Parsons as a tag team partner will make sense to the world, and he proves his superiority. (C+). Parsons hyped the match as well. (B-).

-Steel Cage Match - Cage Classic Rules (Pinfall or Submission only)
Chris Adams defeated Iceman Parsons in 10:26 by pinfall in a decisive victory. (B-)

-WCCW World Heavyweight Championship Match
David Von Erich defeated Michael Hayes in 14:48 by pinfall to make 10th defense of the world title. (B-) David overcome interference from Bob Backlund, who interfered on Hayes' behalf.

Overall Show Rating: (C). This show hurt our popularity in the region.

THOUGHTS:

-I can live with a C considering my screwup of the Funk situation.

-Hayes jobs to David for the 4th time this month - this will probably be the last time for at least a while, and this angle will move ahead next week.

-Chris Adams gets a clear, decisive victory in his feud with Iceman Parsons. This put Parsons on the fringe of hanging out the roster. Adams' slow push up continues.

-Bruiser Brody is now a monster heel, after power-bombing Manny Fernandez right out of WCCW (Manny's contract is up in a few days, and will not be renewed). That certainly makes us a little heel-heavy, so much so that it's possible that Kerry has some kind of reconciliation with his brothers.
