THE STARS OF WORLD CLASS ON TOUR
Monday, Week 1, August 1983
Chicago, IL. 1,000. SOLD OUT

-Pre-Show Dark Match
Bobby Eaton & Koko B. Ware drew with Frank Dusek & Checkmate when the 10:00 time limit expired (C+). Eaton looked good. Before the match, Bill Mercer interviewed Koko and Eaton about the upcoming match (E)

-Pre-Show Dark Match
King Kong Bundy defeated Johnny Mantel in 2:43 by pinfall (D+)

-Chris Adams & Iceman Parsons defeated the Villanos in 7:20 when Parsons pinned Villano IV. (C-) Adams looked good. Before the match, Gory Guerrero hyped his team. (D). After the match, Parsons & Adams cut a promo hyping their team (D+).

-Manny Fernandez came out to the ring and hyped his upcoming Texas Death Match with The Great Kabuki. Manny puts over the dangerous nature of this type of match, but says that it's necessary because Kabuki didn't learn his lesson from the Manny's Cage match victory at June Star Wars (C-)

-Texas Death Match
Manny Fernandez defeated The Great Kabuki in 13:55 when Kabuki couldn't answer the 10-count. The match featured interference from Magic Dragon, Gary Hart, and Brian Adias (B-). The two showed good chemistry. After the match, Manny celebrated his victory with Brian Adias (B-).

-Kevin Von Erich came to the ring, and stated that tonight was his night - as finally, he gets another shot at Terry Gordy's American Heavyweight Championship. Kevin notes that not only did he already live up to his end of the bargain by putting his tag team title (with Mike) on the line against Hayes and Gordy, but they won that match. After tonight, Kevin says, the Freebirds will be left with no titles. (C-)

-WCCW American Heavyweight Title Match
Terry Gordy defeats Kevin Von Erich in 9:21 by pinfall following interference from Michael Hayes to make his 6th defense of his title (B-). After the match, Hayes and Gordy attack Kevin, but Kerry makes the save for a visibly disappointed Kevin. (C-)

-Adrian Adonis comes with Skandor Akbar out to hype his main event match tonight with David Von Erich. He says he's been promised that if he can beat David tonight, he'll get another shot at the Texas Heavyweight Title. (D+)

-David Von Erich defeated Adrian Adonis in 27:53 by pinfall (B). As David is celebrating, Adonis climbs back in the ring with Butch Miller, and the two attack David (D). David, however, quickly dispatches the tired Adonis from the ring, and then quickly overwhelms Williams as well (D)

-David Von Erich then grabs the mic and states that he's tired of Terry Gordy prancing around like he's WCCW's #1 champion. He challenges Gordy to a title v. title match. (C). Gordy comes to the ring, and the two have a brief scuffle that is broken up by the referee and road agent. (C).

Overall Show Rating: B-

THOUGHTS

-The fans still thought there was a little too much David, but a B- is an excellent show for the midwest. In fact, this was our highest rated midwest show ever. It was largely booked as a "super-show", was very main event-talent heavy, and featured our top 2 midwest stars - Adonis and Manny. There was a ton of guys who weren't used at all, so I don't I can get away with booking that kind of show too often. Midwest popularity takes a pretty big jump from 48.9% to 49.5%.

-That was a better debut than I expected from Koko and Eaton. Can't wait to see how they do against other teams.

-Neither the Manny/Kabui nor David/Adonis matches were as good as their previous big-show efforts in Texas, but B and B- matches in the midwest have been pretty rare.

-The Freebird v. Von Erich angle has been officially evolved into a Gordy v. David unification angle. Kerry and Hayes will play supporting roles in that angle, and Kevin and Roberts will have their own 1 on 1 angle. Adonis and The Sheepherders will continue to do their "stable on a patch of destruction" thing for a while.
