THE STARS OF WORLD CLASS ON TOUR
Monday, Week 2, July 1983
Kansas City, MO. 1,000. SOLD OUT

-Pre-show Dark Match
Mike Von Erich defeats Black Gordman in 7:40 by submission (D). Mike was tiring towards the end of match. After the match, Mike cuts a promo saying he's made it a goal to win his first singles title before the year's over, and also hold on to the tag titles with Mike for the rest of 1983. (D-)

-Manny Fernandez & Brian Adias defeated Checkmate and Frank Dusek (D+). Fernandez looked good, Checkmate and Dusek showed good chemistry as a team. After the match, Manny gave a promo with Adias by his side, again hyping Adias' potential. (C+). Before the match, Checkmate & Frank Dusek gave an interview with Bill Mercer, telling him that they've decided to form a tag team because they both have something to prove (they were both fired by Akbar's Destruction, Inc. stable). (E+)

-Chris Adams & Iceman Parsons defeated The Villanos in 6:46 when Chris Adams Villano IV by pinfall. (D+). A debuting Gory Guerrero was at ringside in support of the Villanos. After the match, Gory Guerrero grabbed a mic and stated that he's known all 5 Villano brothers for years, and that he's downright embarrassed by their winless record thus far in WCCW. He says he's come to WCCW to prove the superiority of Mexican wrestlers and the Luchadore style, and he'll start by taking the Villanos straight to the top. (E+)

-Jimmy Garvin comes to the ring to hype his upcoming match with Super Kendo. His attention, however, quickly turns to Scott Casey. He mocks Casey's inability to take advantage of his shot at the TV title last week - he says it was Casey's first and last shot (C). Whipper Billy Watson comes out and states that Garvin was clearly "wrestling not to lose" last week, and stalled until the 10 minute time limit was reached. As a result, Watson will give Casey another shot at the TV Title if he can beat Garvin tonight. (D+).

-Jimmy Garvin drew with Scott Casey in 7:54 by Double Countout. (C-). Casey appeared to have the match won when Garvin was incapacitated outside the ring, but Precious interfered with Casey, preventing him from getting back in the ring and breaking the 10-count. After the match, Whipper Billy Watson came back out, and told Garvin that he's tired of his shenanigans, and that Casey will remain the #1 contender until Garvin defeats him. He books a rematch for tomorrow night's TV taping, for the title. (C-)

-The Sheepherders defeat The Mantel Brothers in 5:48 when Miller pinned Johnny Mantel. (D+) Johnny Mantel seemed off his game. After the match, The Sheepherders continued their attack of the Mantels for several minutes (E+).

-Kevin Von Erich defeated Michael Hayes in 10:52 by submission, after Buddy Roberts' interference backfired. Kevin looked off his game. (C+) Before the match, Kevin gave a promo. He points out that even though Terry Gordy likes to consider himself a fighting champion, Kevin's only gotten one title shot since he lost the belt, and that match ended in a draw. Kevin says he realizes he's been focusing on his championship tag team with Mike, but says that he'll go through the Freebirds or anyone else 1-on-1 to get another title shot. (C). After the match, Kevin grabbed a mic, and challenged Gordy to put his title on the line against him. He said he and Mike would defend the tag titles against any combination of the Freebirds in exchange for a shot at Gordy (C).

-David Von Erich defeated Buddy Jack Roberts in 14:25 by submission in a rematch from last week's WCCW on tour show. (B-) Before the match, David Von Erich gave a promo, announcing that he'll put the Texas Heavyweight Title on the line at the July Star Wars show at the end of the month. He says the opponent has not been determined. (C+).

Overall Show Rating: C+

Thoughts

-We're another step closer to Cult Status, as midwest popularity increases from 47.7% to 48.3%.

-David main events against Buddy for the 2nd straight week, and once again, they send the fans home happy and we get a solid overall rating. I'm trying to show some restraint with David, and I'm keeping him away from Gordy and Hayes for now (but beating everyone else on the roster). At some point, he'll probably make a run at trying to collect another singles title.

-Kevin starts his push towards a Gordy rematch by beating Hayes in their first 1 on 1 match. I'm trying to keep some semblance of organization in the Freebird/Von Erich feud, and not simply throw out random combinations of matchups every week. Fortunately, the DOTT preset Freebird/Von Erich angle lends some guidance.

-The Sheepherders continue to disappoint. Still, their momentum is pretty low because they haven't beaten anyone of consequence, so all hope is not lost.

-Garvin/Casey won't be delivering any 5-star matches, but it should help the TV title's prestige, and it will deliver respectable C-level segments.

-We kick off another storyline tonight, with Gory Guerrero coming to WCCW to give guidance to our Mexican jobbers. Gory's technically a heel, but this will be more a tweener stable, wrestling everyone and anyone, trying to get a win.

-So we're up to 6 current storylines, which are, in order of current overness:

1. Freebirds v. Von Erichs
Akbar's Destruction Inc. v. Fritz
3. Manny/Adias' mentor/protege relationship
4. Gory mentors Mexican jobbers
Garvin v. Casey (TV Title)
6. Gary Hart looking for new talent/Iceman & Parsons new team
