WORLD CLASS WRESTLING (TV TAPING)
Tuesday, Week 2, March 1984
Austin, TX (Small Venue)
Expected Attendance: 5,352; Ticket Prices: +$4 over default
Actual Attendance: 5,000 (SOLD OUT)

-This is the 100th WCCW show since the dynasty started

-Pre Show Dark Match
Tommy Rodgers defeated Al Perez in 5:09 by pinfall. (D+). After the match, Lance Russell interviewed Rodgers about the match, and his future in WCCW. (D-)

-Pre Show Dark Match
Buddy Landell defeats Villano IV in 7:13 by submission. (B-). The two showed great chemistry.

-Fritz Von Erich comes to the ring to a great ovation. The announcers recap the recent WCCW World Championship controversy. Fritz says that the WCCW board of directors met late into the night, and have reached a decision. He says that the WCCW World Heavyweight Championship is relatively new, so they couldn't work from precedent, rather, they had to create precedent. They decided that the WCCW Heavyweight Title will never be a commodity to be bought and sold. Therefore, the championship is hearby declared vacant. Technically, explains Fritz, their decision is retroactive to the moment Backlund surrendered the title - therefore, Hayes will not be recognized as a former world champion. (B)

-An enraged Hayes storms to the ring to confront Fritz, yelling every insult in the book. Finally, he says that while Fritz can do whatever he wants with the "meaningless" WCCW record books, he will NEVER surrender the title belt itself. He then leaves the ring, still retaining possession of the belt. (B)

-Before he can get back to the locker room, a returning Terry Gordy suddenly steps into his path. Hayes looks shocked. Gordy appears to be demanding that Hayes hand the belt over. Instead, a panicked Hayes tries to strike Gordy with the belt. Gordy ducks, and kicks Hayes in the gut. The two are separated by road agents and security before it can get any more physical, but Gordy ends up with the title belt, and Hayes retreats to the locker room. Gordy then goes to the ring, hands Fritz the belt, and leaves the ringside area without another world (B-)

-Fritz grins, but doesn't otherwise acknowledge what he just saw. Then, he announces that the WCCW World Heavyweight Championship will be awarded to the winner of the 2nd annual King of Texas Wrestling Tournament, to be held at the end of next month. He says that the tournament will be even bigger than last years, as it will include 12 competitors, with 4 men receiving first round byes. He says that 3 of the 4 byes will be awarded to the 3 men at the center of the title controversy - Bob Backlund, Michael Hayes, and David Von Erich. He says the 4th bye will be awarded at this month's inaugural Last Man Standing event. More details will be announced shortly. (B+)

-The Sheepherders come to the ring for their match, wearing casts, bandages, and using crutches. They are mocking the injuries of Koko B. Ware and Bobby Eaton. (B-)

-Non-Title Match
The Sheepherders defeat Owen Hart and Jose Lothario in in 6:58 when Miller pinned Hart. (C-)

-The Great Kabuki defeats Brian Adias in 7:48 by pinfall. (C+)

-Lance Russell interviews Terry Gordy backstage, asking him why he's here tonight. Gordy says he has re-signed with WCCW, as the 6-month stipulation from the match with Hayes has ended. He says he hadn't planned on making an apperance tonight, but he was annoyed by Hayes' whining and decided to do something about it. (C+)

-A video is played hyping Nikita Koloff, Boris Malenko, and Malenko's victory cigar shtick. (C)

-Nikita Koloff drew with Ricky Morton in 10:20 by double countout. (B). Malenko never had the chance to light his "victory cigar" during the match.

-Jimmy Garvin hypes his upcoming TV title shot against Kevin Von Erich - a shot he earned by winning the battle royal last night. He says that the "moron" Von Erichs are paranoid, blaming Buddy Roberts for the recent attacks on Mike Von Erich despite Robert's insistence that he had nothing to do with it. Garvin then claims that he is responsible for taking out Mike, and frankly, is tired of Roberts getting the credit for it. (D+)

-Ted Dibiase defeats Iceman Parsons in in 9:44 by submission. (B+)

-WCCW TV Title Match
-TV Time remaining (not the standard 15:00 time limit)
Kevin Von Erich defeats Jimmy Garvin in 17:14 by submission to make his 5th defense of the TV title. The two showed great chemistry. Kevin showed extra aggressiveness (and recklessness) after Garvin's earlier announcement that he was responsible for the attack on Mike. The announcers speculate that Garvin was perhaps trying to throw off Kevin's concentration.

Overall Show Rating: B- (The show can be considered a success, it should have increased our overall popularity).

THOUGHTS:

-A great beginning and ending to this show, but the middle kept us at a B-. Still, that'll help our popularity.

-So the world title situation is now half Zbysko/Orndorff/Georgia and half Andre/Hogan/Wrestlemania IV. I have no idea who's going to end up the world champion, but I have decided that "Last Man Standing" at the end of the month will be another gimmick event - we're going to rip off the Battle Bowl/Lethal Lottery concept from WCW. In our version, there will be 5 tag team matches, with "random" pairings. The 5 winning teams take part in a 10-man battle royal at the end of the night - the winner will be the "Last Man Standing", and in this case, will get a first round bye in the world title tournament.

-I'm a fan of the theme/gimmick events, since they help to distinguish the big monthly shows. As our first year winds down, we've established 4 annual "tournament titles" - King of Texas Wrestling, Royal Rumble, King of the Texas Deathmatch, and Last Man Standing. The inaugural winners so far are David Von Erich, Manny Fernandez, and Bruiser Brody, respectively.

-Dibaise and Parsons had a great match - best match ever for Parsons.

-I'm not really a huge fan of the Roberts/Mike/Garvin angle, it started months ago and isn't very compelling. There's a good chance it disappears and is somehow merged with whatever happens with Gordy/Hayes and the Von Erichs.

-Koloff has his best-ever match, with Ricky Morton (and the only other time Morton scored a "B" was with Bob Backlund). It's a good sign, since these two are in the start of a feud.

-Buddy Landell and Villano IV really surprised on the pre-show, delivering a "B" match. Villano IV is still only 18 - he might have as bright a future as Villano III.
