WORLD CLASS CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING (TV Taping)
Tuesday, Week 2, July 1983
Houston, TX: 5,000 SOLD OUT

-Pre-Show Dark Match
Barry Orton defeats Black Gordman in 8:52 by pinfall (D+). Before the match, Bill Mercer interviewed Orton (E+)

-Mercer and Lowrance announce that as a result of last week's attack by Destruction Inc. on Fritz Von Erich, Fritz is out of action indefinitely with an injury (B+). After the announcement, Akbar comes out and gloats, and officially reveals the newest member of Destruction Inc, and the "man who ended Fritz Von Erich's Career" - Adrian Adonis, who comes out as well (C+). When the two leave, Mercer denounces last week's attack on Fritz. and then video of the attack is replayed to the TV audience (C)

-Chris Adams & Iceman Parsons defeat The Villanos in 6:54 when Parsons pinned Villano IV. (C-). During the match, Gary Hart is observed lurking around ringside, taking notes. The announcers mention Hart's recent comments about adding new talent, and speculate about who he's scouting (B-)

-Manny Fernandez & Brian Adias defeat Checkmate & Frank Dusek in 6:34 by DQ after Checkmate repeatedly broke up pin attempts on Dusek. (C-). Again, during this match, Gary Hart wandered down to the ringside area, taking notes. The announcers again speculate as to who he's scouting. (B)

-After the match, Bill Mercer announces that Manny Fernandez & Brian Adias will get their toughest tag team challenge to date at WCCW July Star Wars, where they will take on Fernandez' nemisis - The Great Kabuki & Magic Dragon (D).

-WCCW TV Title Match.
Jim Garvin and Scott Casey drew to a 10:00 time limit draw. Like last week, Garvin was clearly stalling to reach the time limit. Garvin makes his 3rd title defense. (C-). Before the match, Bill Mercer interviewed Scott Casey about his quest for the TV title. Casey reminds Garvin of what Billy Watson stated last night - Casey will be #1 contender until either Garvin pins him, or Casey wins the title. (C)

-WCCW Six-Man Tag Team Championship Tournament Match (Semi-Final)
David, Kevin, & Kerry Von Erich defeat King Kong Bundy, Magic Dragon, & The Great Kabuki in 10:47 when Kevin made Bundy submit. The Von Erichs advance to face the Freebirds for the titles at the July Star Wars event. (C+). After the match, the Freebirds come out to the entrance-way, and guarantee victory over the Von Erichs at Star Wars (B-)

Overall Show Rating: C

THOUGHTS

-I'm pretty surprised how low the overall rating was, considering the amount of B-level segments we had, and the fact that the main event did a C+. Midwest popularity increases from 48.2% to 48.7%. Texas popularity falls from 69.4% to 69.1%.

-We'll have to find something else for Fritz to do now that the Destruction Inc. has apparently run him back out of the ring. The injury announcement that opened the show rated a B+ - we've only had a handful of segments reach that.

-The Gary Hart scouting segments were very well rated also. (too bad they only got a minute of show time each - they apparently had minimal effect on my rating).

-We're running the Freebirds v. Von Erichs six-man tag again at Star Wars, and then we'll get into the individual matchups (particuararly Kevin v. Gordy). There will be some type of stipulation added to the six-man, either hardcore or survivor series rules. Star Wars will also feature Manny/Adias v. Kabuki/Dragon, David defending against the winner of a battle royal (winner to be determined), and probably Casey v. Garvin. Other matches to be determined. Adonis may be the right fit for the David title defense - he's already fairly well known in Texas (he was champion of the San Antonio-based SWC when I signed him - he could attempt to "unify" the Texas titles.)

-Casey and Garvin has wrestled 5 times already - the first one rated a C, everhthing since has been C-. If this angle adds ANYTHING to these matches, and they can eventually rate C+, it'll be a big victory.
