World Class Championship Wrestling Presents...

A Wrestling Star Wars Event!

Sunday, Week 4, February 1985 at the world-famous Reunion Arena!

In exciting singles competition...

Two men with recent struggles in World Class collide in an attempt to change their own fortunes,

Iceman King Parsons

takes on

One Man Gang

!

A professional wrestling legend makes his return to Dallas, TX for the first-time in over thirty years...

The Crusher

fights

Terry Gordy

in what's sure to be a wild, and perhaps even bloody affair! It's a

Texas Street Fight

match for these two, as The Crusher will surely give Gordy a taste of what growing up on the mean streets of Mi'waukee as a youth is all about!

And, following the defeat of

Brian Adias

on World Class television, the man with the mysterious $250,000 briefcase has a chance at gold!

Jake "The Snake" Roberts

will do battle with

"The Modern Day Warrior" Kerry Von Erich

in what will surely be a match to remember! Roberts... determined to destroy the Von Erich family and earn his supposed two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars from a man who apparently planted the briefcast at an opportune moment for Jake to find...

"Playboy" Gary Hart

.. And for the champion Kerry, an opportunity to uphold his family's name and stave off the continued efforts of Roberts and Hart to dismantle his bloodline!

Hot tag team action featuring...

Up-and-comers

Mike Von Erich

and

Terry Taylor

, joining forces to take on the much more physically intimidating duo of

The Missing Link

and, the newest member of the roster to join forces with the top heels in World Class,

Hercules Hernandez

. For Hernandez, it will be his first opportunity to wrestle a Von Erich since joining World Class Championship Wrestling... will this have any implications for the night?

Perhaps the hottest tag team in the territory, second only to tag champs themselves, the

Rock N' Roll Express

face-off against another new challenger in the tag team division since recently arriving from nearly dominating the Memphis-wrestling scene,

The Fabulous Ones

!

Another tag team bout will partake soon after, as

Jim Cornette

and

The Midnight Express

have another shot at taking NWA American Tag Team gold! The current champions,

The Fantastics

, are perhaps the hottest team in the country, and based on the Midnights' recent success, they've proved it! Can the Fantastics stay kings of the hill this Sunday at the Reunion Arena?

And, sparks will surely fly in our final tag team match of the evening, as

"Macho Man" Randy Savage

will come face-to-face for the first time in a month against

Billy Jack Haynes

, as they are joined respectively by

Chris Adams

and, recent addition to the roster,

Jerry Blackwell

in tag team competition! Savage asked for Haynes in any capacity, and the World Class presiding committee granted his wish! Can four-man action hold these two apart, or will Reunion Arena find itself with a bloody mess?

Plus!

Bill Mercer

will share an update to the live and closed-circuit audience in regards to the recovery of

Kevin Von Erich

, following the aforementioned

Hercules Hernandez

and

Chris Adams

on the latest broadcast of World Class television! Also, perhaps Mercer can share some information as to the rumor that

Gary Hart

has taken Hercules under his wing!

And the Star Wars main event...

Making his championship bout return to the world-famous Reunion Arena,

David Von Erich

squares off against the man holding his most sacred World Class title, the NWA Texas Heavyweight title... A man who hails from Highland Park, the wealthiest suburb of Dallas, Texas... A man who respects none of what patriarch Fritz, and the rest of the Von Erich family has built, and certainly gives no respect to David's return to the company he grew up in... He calls himself "The Handsome Halfbreed"... "Bad to the Bone"... it's

"Gorgeous" Gino Hernandez

! His challenger, David Von Erich, rides alone for the first time in front of thousands of the World Class faithful, and may stop at nothing to earn back "his" NWA Texas Heavyweight title!

Tickets are still available over the telephone or by visiting

the Reunion Arena box office at 777 Sports Street in Dallas, Texas!

How the hell old is the Crusher at this point?

Not old enough to sit while the polka's playing,

brother!

I know I said it before, but I'd have to say that I truly feel like I'm in the Sportatorium as a spectator for all of these events! You've got a certain knack for storytelling, I will tell you that much. By the way, do you think you can get me a Dynamic Duo t-shirt? I mean, if it isn't too much trouble!

Thank you, that means a lot!

Glad I can envoke some nostalgia for a time when perhaps you weren't even alive (I know I wasn't). Dynamic Duo shirt would be sick! I might try to feature some old WCCW stuff, just as some added fluff for people to deep dive a bit more into their history!

WCCW Championship Sports

Week 4, February 1985

Billy Jack Haynes

versus

Kelly Kiniski

In an extremely short match which got the show off to a strong start and the crowd hotter,

Billy Jack Haynes

defeated

Kelly Kiniski

in 5:25 by submission with a Full Nelson Lock. Billy Jack looked good in this one, with full crowd support the entire way. An easy win for Haynes.

After

Billy Jack Haynes'

win, referee

Bronco Lubich

raised his arm to the infatuation of the Texas crowd. He was certainly a growing favorite since arriving in World Class in 1984, no doubt about that. It is also without a doubt that he has already made enemies in WCCW, namely young hot shot

Randy Savage

... Right ahead of the February Star Wars event, Savage used tonight’s edition of Championship Sports to send a message to Haynes, bursting through the entrance way as Haynes had his arm raised and running towards the ring. The crowd lit up as Savage slid-in and Haynes put up his fists. Billy Jack challenges Randy to take a shot, the first time these two would come toe-to-toe since their initial dispute. Savage looks like he might bite, but instead leads Billy Jack, and gets the fans riled up. Instead of making a move, Savage instead demands a microphone and gives Billy Jack a few words…

”Billy Jack! You think you know something about the Macho Man? Will let me tell you one thing you might not know yet! At the February Star Wars, I want you however I can get you! I don't care if it's a singles match, a tag team shot, a battle royale, whatever it might be Billy Jack! You don’t stand a chance and soon enough you and all these fans will soon see what the Macho Man is all about, oh yeahhh!”

Moving along to lead broadcaster

Bill Mercer

, he is standing in front of a WCCW banner, alongside fan favorite

David Von Erich

. Mercer mentions how it’s already been a month since David’s return to World Class, and says what month it has been! He says he is glad to be standing alongside David ahead of another Star Wars event, and shares the news with the fans that David Von Erich will indeed be making a challenge against

Gino Hernandez

for the NWA Texas Heavyweight championship! David is rubbing his hands together at the prospect of becoming Texas champion once again, but also explains he has been waiting to get his hands on Gino Hernandez one-on-one for the first time since coming back. He calls Gino the scum of World Class wrestling, no matter where he comes from. And no matter what kind of car he drives, or what piece of tail he has around his arms, he knows nobody in the great state of Texas respects him as a wrestler, and most importantly respects him as a man.

He says you can judge any man by the men he surrounds himself with. He prefers to surround himself with his family and close friends. People who mean the world to him. Gino, on the other hand, prefers to surround himself with snakes and rats. People like

Gary Hart

,

Chris Adams

, and

Jake Roberts

. And at February Star Wars, judgment day is upon Gino Hernandez, and God will show his reckoning when David Von Erich forces Gino to submit to the Iron Claw!

NWA American Tag Team Championship

The Fantastics ©

versus

The Fabulous Ones

In a decent

storytelling match

,

The Fantastics ©

defeated

The Fabulous Ones

in 10:07 when

Tommy Rogers

pinned

Stan Lane

with a Sunset Flip! It was a tense affair the entire match as it was revealed that

The Midnight Express

were to be sitting ringside the entire bout! The Midnights and The Fantastics have been at each other’s throats the past couple of months, and now a new tag team was throwing their hat into the mix… The Fabulous Ones, a very talented team from around the country, who certainly gave the Fantastics a serious run for their money. It didn’t help for the tag champs to have their challengers at the February Star Wars sitting just outside the action, but things really got out of hand when their manager,

Jim Cornette

made his way to the ring! He ran up to the apron and got involved with the referee, giving the Fabulous Ones a chance to capitalize on a blind referee opportunity, but instead Rogers smartened up and caught Lane with a sunset flip for the one, two, three! Ringside, The Midnight Express are furious, but will have to wait for February Star Wars to get another chance... The Fantastics make defence number eight of the NWA American Tag Team titles.

Back to our lead broadcaster,

Bill Mercer

, he is now joined by whom he calls a legend in professional wrestling, making his World Class Championship Wrestling debut, all the way from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, it’s

The Crusher

! He’s sporting his patented stogie along with sunglasses and a nice polo shirt. Mercer says The Crusher will be

Terry Gordy’s

opponent at the February Star Wars event, and asks Crusher what his opinion is on battling Gordy at his first World Class event.

”Well you know Bill I hear Terry Gordy is a tough guy. I hear Terry Gordy says he’s fought all da best in the world. I hear Terry Gordy told you he said he’s da best in the world. Well what Terry Gordy don’t know ‘bout is growin’ up in Mi’waukee, fightin’ da toughest guys in the saloon, drinking all da beer dey had at the saloon after taking all da dollies on a nice spin, Terry Gordy don’t come from a fightin’ family like I did. Terry Gordy can’t dance to the polka like a real man can. Terry Gordy hasn’t had a girlfriend longer than a lucky night. You see da Crusher was brought up in da streets, nobody taught me nothin’ but me learnin’ da hard way. Da only hard way Terry Gordy has ever seen is da one I’m gonna show him Sunday at da big Star Wars! So Terry Gordy, you big bum! ... you can polish your boots, finish your beer, and muster up da courage to step in da ring with me, but just remember your stepping in da ring with Da Crusher! I been raised on da streets and I been beatin’ dummies like you all my life, so get ready for another crushing at da hands of Da Crusher!

…

Now where’s da polka in this town? I hear dey got da best-...”

Crusher says as he starts walking off camera, fading away from the microphone, leaving Mercer a bit speechless but nonetheless ready to promote The Crusher’s upcoming single match against Terry Gordy at the February Star Wars event!

Fading to another shot of

Bill Mercer

, he is now joined by the likes of

Kerry,

Kevin

, and

Mike Von Erich

. The three brothers have quiet a serious demeanor as Mercer essentially recaps everything which has happened leading up to the return of their brother

David

from Japan, and all that has transpired leading up to his Texas Heavyweight title match at the February Star Wars event.

Kerry begins as Mercer finishes mentioning the return of his friend

Brian Adias

, whom Kerry says he’s grateful for, on top of the return of his brother David. Kerry is confident in Brian’s abilities, and says no matter how nasty someone like

Jake “The Snake” Roberts

wants to act, he knows Brian will put him in his place tonight.

Kevin is asked about Jake Roberts in particular, whom he also calls a cheating snake in the grass. He says no briefcase and no amount of money can change a man overnight, because a real man is made by the character of his being, and Jake is no man of character! That’s why when Brian beats Jake tonight, he wants Jake one-on-one at the February Star Wars event!

Bill is excited about the prospect of Kevin’s challenge, and finishes off the segment touching base with Mike Von Erich, who says he’s simply so excited to have his family back together once again and can’t wait to wrestle at the next upcoming Star Wars.

Brian Adias

versus

Jake Roberts

In a

wild brawl

that had good heat and decent wrestling,

Jake Roberts

defeated

Brian Adias

in 10:06 by pinfall with a DDT following interference from …

Hercules Hernandez

!

That’s right! What started as a wild affair ended in even more surprising fashion when Hercules hit the ring after nine minutes of action after a referee bump, and attacked the babyface Adias as soon as he had the opportunity to perhaps fulfill his promise of beating Jake Roberts! At 6’1”, 270 lbs., and a wild head of curly hair to accompany a phenomenal physique, Hercules is an incredibly intimidating individual who is locally known. But questions surrounded Hercules’ intentions on interfering in this one, as Jake himself seemed a bit off-guard as to why he had attacked Brian the way he did. Nevertheless, it gave Jake the opportunity he needed to finish Adias off with a big DDT in the center of the ring, and secure his NWA American Heavyweight title opportunity against

Kerry Von Erich

at the February Star Wars!

After the bell, Hercules continued his attack on Brian, and Jake joined in. The two stomped on Brian under one the middle ropes, as the fans laid on the heat.

To no one’s surprise, next into the ring was

Chris Adams

and

Gino Hernandez

! The two ran out and helped join in the beatdown, eventually shaking hands with Hercules, who drew the ire of the WCCW fans for seemingly joining in alliance with the most hated heels in all of Texas! They all laughed together, looking real smug, proud of their immoral behavior...

But here comes the calvary! It’s the whole

Von Erich

clan this time!

David

,

Kerry

,

Kevin

, and even

Mike

take to their Dad’s ring and attack the heels! Kerry on Jake, David on Gino, Kevin on Hercules, and Mike on Chris! The fans go wild as another huge brawl erupts in the ring and the officials continue hitting the bell. Chaos in the ring, some escape to the outside while a lot of action remains in the ring. Eventually we see Mike Von Erich knocked down and out, allowing Chris Adams to move on to help Hercules Hernandez handle Kevin Von Erich on the outside. Together, they brutalized Kevin against one of the ring posts, and eventually, at the instruction of

Gary Hart

, who eventually had the balls to make it out into the action.

At the behest of Gary, Chris Adams arranged for a steel chair to fold as much as possible in between the ankle of Kevin Von Erich. As the powerful Hercules held him down, the fans winced in freight of what they were about to see... The "Gentleman" Chris Adams walked slight out of the way, giving himself room for a jump start and a...

"Oh no! How could they do this!?"

exclaimed Bill Mercer, as Adams landed directly on the chair, bending Kevin's ankle! Kevin began howling in pain as Hercules let go and look savagely at poor Kevin Von Erich. At this point officials focused on this scene of the action and was able to break-up any further attacks on Kevin, allowing medical experts to intervene. With Kevin's ankle utterly obliterated, the action between the boys slowed down as more came to check on brother Kevin. As he rithed in pain, Mercer says goodbye to the World Class faithful and asks them to pray for the health of young Kevin Von Erich!

This is off to a fantastic start OGpistolpete, and starting from 1985 was a perfect choice. If you avoid the real life setbacks, the wealth of possibilites going forward is endless. I look forward to seeing the future of men like Gino Hernandez (who in reality is one of the biggest cases of "what if" in my opinion) and David Von Erich under your watch. And you've got Randy Savage! No more needs to be said!

I like the set up for a potential Terry Gordy solo run.

Your love for the time period shines through via your writing. I think your presentation is perfect too. If I ever try my hands at an 80s dynasty, I'll be looking to your presentation for inspiration for my own.

Keep having fun with this! I'll be checking back in often. I want to see you take WCCW into the 90s!

Thanks for the kind words, friend! I'm glad to hopefully be of inspiration for more 1980's diaries, certainly couldn't ever be enough! Hope you follow along!

WCCW Championship Sports

Week 3, February 1985

David Von Erich

versus

The Missing Link

In a

wild brawl

which got the show off to a strong start and had good heat and decent wrestling,

David Von Erich

defeated

The Missing Link

in 10:49 by submission via the Iron Claw. In another test of strength of recently returned “Yellow Rose of Texas”, savage antics from the Missing Link may have reminded David of some of his most savage opponents in Japan and from across his world tour. With his intimidating size as well, Link was overpowering David early on, but the will of David allowed him, along with the support of the people, to come back and catch Link off-guard with his father’s patented submission hold. After his win,

Gino Hernandez

, accompanied by the other half of the

Dynamic Duo

,

Chris Adams

, run out to ringside and almost take to the ring to attack David, but make the choice to simply exchange words instead.

After the opening match we are taken to

Bill Mercer

standing side-by-side with another new return to the World Class territory,

Brian Adias

! He is introduced, alongside

Kerry Von Erich

, as a close family friend of the Von Erichs, and reminds the people he grew up alongside Kerry and the rest of the Von Erichs and calls him his brother from another mother. Mercer mentions Brian has been traveling the country, wrestling all around, and has returned to World Class inspired by David’s return. Adias concurs with Mercer’s take, and then calls David the true Texas Heavyweight champion, before putting himself over as another one of Texas’ finest talents.

He says he’s returned to show the fans all he’s learned and just what he’s all about, and to prove himself he issues a challenge to

Jake “The Snake” Roberts

! Adias calls him a snake, a rat, and every nasty creature in between! He tells Bill that Kerry has agreed to an incentive to draw Jake from out of his cave, and offers Jake a shot at the NWA American Heavyweight title at the February Star Wars event, if he can pin Brian with by pinfall!

Kerry backs up his best friend Brian, and confirms he nor Brian are scared of Jake or anyone he associates with! He says he doesn’t even need to think twice about facing Jake, because he’s so confident that next week, Brain will be able to beat Jake if he has the guts to accept the challenge, like a real man!

We cut back to the ring where

Jim Cornette

is seen holding a microphone, standing alongside his tag team,

The Midnight Express

. He announces he’s met with the World Class governing body, and they’ve graciously agreed to grant The Midnight Express another shot at the NWA American Tag Team titles. Cornette, however, isn’t humble whatsoever, and calls it a travesty that the Midnights need to even compete in a match just to earn their rightful belts back. As he brings up the current champions, and their current rivals,

The Fantastics

, Cornette reminds himself why the crowd is so excited to hear their name,

”It’s because their as stupid and dimwitted as all of you idiots out here!”

That drew a big reaction from the fans in attendance, but their jeers quickly turned to cheers when the champions themselves came out from the entrance way!

Bobby Fulton gets the fans going when he starts mocking Cornette, trying to impersonate his mannerisms and mocks Cornette getting permission from his mother to even get a ride to tonight’s show! Fulton reminds the fans, and particularly Cornette, that the reason his tag team lost their last chance at the belts was because of him! Fulton calls Cornette the worst manager he’s ever seen, and tells Jim,

”We ain’t got no issue with a big rematch between us, because we know as soon as we get in those ropes and those phonies are standing across from us, it’s already over because we’re the Fantastics and we’re the best team this crowd has ever seen!”

Fulton is commanding with his words, and Cornette looks to be in an odd combination of frustrated and angry. No matter the case, the Fantastics walk out of his one standing tall. But out comes another hot, rising team in World Class Championship Wrestling…

The Rock N’ Roll Express

!

The Midnight Express

versus

The Rock N’ Roll Express

In a bout which got the crowd hotter and had good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, the

Rock N' Roll Express

defeated

The Midnight Express

in 10:03 when

Ricky Morton

pinned

Dennis Condrey

following a second missile dropkick from the top rope, following interference disrupting

Bobby Eaton

by one half of the tag champs,

Bobby Fulton

!

The Fantastics

got themselves involved in this won, much to the chagrin from the babyface challengers. Undoubtedly for the Midnight Express, an awful night ahead of their tag title rematch.

Back with lead announcer

Bill Mercer

, he is joined by

Terry Gordy

, wearing his normal wrestling trunks and a hooded sweatshirt. Mercer gives Gordy an opportunity to share his thoughts, and Gordy thanks him before giving the fans this hot take: Michael Hayes has left World Class wrestling, and Gordy says his former tag team partner, and partner-in-crime has left him out to dry in the hot Texas heat! Hayes has jumped town, left the territory, and

Michael Hayes

told him he didn’t need Terry anymore! Mercer is shocked to learn this, as this is the first he is hearing of it apparently... Terry looks slightly beside himself when he first shared the update, but as Mercer continues to ask him about just exactly what is going on between The Freebirds, Gordy composes himself.

”Yeah, Bill, yeah, I know! Everybody loves the Freebirds! Everybody hartes the Freebirds! And Michael is a major part of the Freebirds, there's no doubt about that! But Michael, I got news for you boy! You think you’re dumping me? You think you’re the hot shot you claim to be? I know the real you, Michael Hayes, and I know you ain’t as hot to trot as you says you is! And you can’t fool me like you can fool all these people, ya hear? I ain’t afraid of you, and I ain’t afraid of nobody in World Class wrasslin’! And I know there’s only one thing left to do now, and that’s to prove Michael and the rest of the world wrong that Terry Gordy is the better man, and that I’m the greatest wrestler the world has ever seen!”

Brian Adias

and

Kerry Von Erich

versus

Chris Adams

and

Jake Roberts

In a

storytelling bout

that had great heat and good wrestling,

Chris Adams

and

Jake Roberts

defeated

Brian Adias

and

Kerry Von Erich

in 15:25 after Chris Adams pinned Brian Adias following a Superkick thanks to interference from his manager

Gary Hart

. This time, the briefcase did not come into play, as Jake didn’t really have the chance this time ‘round to make the final blow. Instead, Adams took the spotlight in this match, and looked really good against Kerry Von Erich. While they both fought one another a majority of their in-ring time, Brian Adias mainly squared-off against Jake Roberts. Adias and Roberts came across as evenly matched for the most part, although perhaps Adias only held on because Kerry frequently made the save when required... However, "The Modern Day Warrior", Kerry Von Erich couldn't save the day at every opportunity, and had himself in a bad situation with Roberts as Adams broke through the ceiling with Adias, and nailed him square with a Superkick thanks to distraction by his manager!

Following their victory, Adams and Roberts gloated in front of the spiteful Texas crowd. On most nights, they would take the boots to Adias and Kerry, but tonight, Jake Roberts surprisingly took to the microphone, and gave the fans some news. He accepts Brian’s challenge for next week, and promises to take the NWA American Heavyweight title from Kerry because of it! Bill Mercer is riled up after the main event, calling it sad night in World Class, but says next week's match between Adias and Roberts is sure to be a barn burner! Tune in next week for another episode of World Class Championship Sports, the major league of professional wrestling!

I'm late to the party on this one but I've always held a deep-seated like and intrigue into WCCW so I'm gonna catch up on it.
Looks good though friend. I'll predict purely for fun here while I catch up on what's happened...

Welcome to this 'ole Texas hoedown! You've been super supportive of my work so thanks for jumping on the wagon of this WCCW diary! Same as you, I've always had a lot of intrigue over World Class. Before the WWE Network, my exposure was extremely minimal. I had always heard of the Von Erichs, and the World Class territory, and all I would ever hear is how hot the Von Erichs were back in the early 80's and how unique and special of a situation it was. The more I learned about it, the more I understand why this was, and thanks to the Network you can really see just what everyone was talking about. Surely the World Class audience had the greatest ratio of female:male fans ever seen in American wrestling during its peak. Plus you combine it with the most sincere general communal following/gathering aspect of World Class in the Dallas-area... running the same venues and doing multiple shows per week with a really strong following, another real rarity in professional wrestling. I hope this diary acts as a "what if?" for World Class perhaps breaking out of Texas and surviving the onslaught of Vince and the WWF... Thanks for reading!

Also, quick question for the audience, does anyone know how to code a three-colored border around my posts? Interested in having the red, black and blue around my show posts... think it would look super cool. Please PM me if you know how!

Well not too bad for a rookie in this thing but I do have a question. Why is Jim Cornette so lousy with his interfering tactics? They seem like they backfire every week on him and that is not the Louisville Lip that I remember.

Maybe it's just plain 'ole bad luck! Lucky for him, screwing up every match can't last forever! Would expect it has to turn around at some point...

Thanks for the kind words and for following along this diary! I couldn't imagine David returning from Japan and turning heel, but certainly perhaps one of the Von Erich's will one day make the switch...

WCCW Championship Sports

Week 2, February 1985

Billy Jack Haynes

and

Rock N' Roll Express

versus

Randy Savage

and

The Midnight Express

In a decent match which got the crowd hotter and the show off to a strong start,

Billy Jack Haynes

and the

Rock N' Roll Express

defeated

Randy Savage

and

The Midnight Express

in 14:54 when Billy Jack Haynes pinned

Randy Savage

after manager of

The Midnight Express

,

Jim Cornette

tried to interfere and cost Randy Savage the match! Savage was furious following the bell, and became coming at the Midnight Express, who turned to the aisleway along with their manager. Savage himself, didn't want anything to do with Billy Jack, whom he has been giving grief about over the past few weeks. This match gave the two the opportunity to really lock up for a couple of a minutes, but the two walked away clearly evenly matched. For the Fantastics, another big win as their hot streak in World Class continues.

After returning from commercial break,

Bill Mercer

takes us to an interview he conducted with

”Playboy” Gary Hart

, but this time around, he is interrupted by none only than the man with Hart’s supposed “Von Erich briefcase”,

Jake Roberts

! Jake enters the shot hot off the presses, and shoves the briefcase in Hart's face, demanding that Gary owes him his money! He says he ruined

David Von Erich

's homecoming, and so he completed the task he was asked to perform!

Gary stands up for himself and tells Jake he hasn't done nearly enough of what must be done to destroy the Von Erichs! Does he think “Playboy” deals with gentlemen who are willing to cough up as much dough as is in the briefcase only for Jake to spoil some ridiculous party? Yes, the homecoming is all a part of their goal, but he and Jake must go further! He begins preaching about how he wants to see the Von Erich's bleed! He wants to see them cry! He wants to make sure the Von Erich's never step foot inside a wrestling ring again! Jake seems enamored with Gary Hart’s prophetic vision by the end of the segment, and tensions have been quelled for now.

Next up, it’s the

”Yellow Rose of Texas” David Von Erich

who is on camera alongside World Class interviewer and lead announcer

Bill Mercer

. Mercer kicks off the segment by welcoming David alongside him and mentions how they just reviewed the tape of

Gary Hart

and

Jake Roberts

just shown prior. Sporting his patented cowboy hat, David responds to Hart's comments about him and

“his”

title. The Yellow Rose says he is not afraid of anyone or anything! He hasn’t been his entire life, and he certainly isn’t now that he’s back from conquering the globe! David says he has seen many men, faced many brutes, cross paths with many foes, and not even an army of one thousand men mustered together by Gary Hart could stop him from achieving his goal of becoming NWA Texas Heavyweight champion, and eventual NWA World champion. He ends the segment by telling Hart and

”the rest of his minions”

to bring it on!

Iceman King Parsons

and

Kerry Von Erich

versus

Jake Roberts

and

One Man Gang

In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling,

Jake Roberts

and

One Man Gang

defeated

Kerry Von Erich

and

Iceman King Parsons

in 9:58 when

Jake Roberts

pinned

Iceman King Parsons

after hitting him with his briefcase behind the referee's back! Over the course of the match, Kerry was clearly keen on getting his hands on Jake, who would always tag out as soon as Kerry was tagged in. But once Kerry got his hands on "The Snake", the crowd erupted as he laid down as much of a beating he could before being pumbled by One Man Gang from behind! This gave the heels the upper-hand, as they eliminated Kerry from challenging the remainder of their time in the ring, giving Jake the opportunity to win another match through the tainted use of his mysterious briefcase!

David

&

Kevin Von Erich

versus

Gino Hernandez

and

Terry Gordy

In a superb

wild brawl

,

David & Kevin Von Erich

defeated

Gino Hernandez

and

Terry Gordy

in 10:16 when

David Von Erich

pinned

Gino Hernandez

with an Okana roll as Gordy was too late to break-up the pin! Unlike Jake and Kerry in the prior affair, David and Gino didn't hold back any punches as the two came to blows frequently throughout the match, much to the crowd's pleasure. Gino came across as the big ego trying to show the world just how great he is, while David played the spoiler in Gino's dramatic theatre. He also showed signs of frustration to his partner for the night, Terry Gordy, who didn't come across as tenacious as Gino's usual tag partners, perhaps allowing Gino to take more a beating than he would have liked. The opposite can be said for Kevin, who wonderfully acted in support of his brother David throughout the match. Their tag chemistry was clearly a big factor in walking away victorious in this one. Needless to say, after the match Gino was furious. After arguing for the referee for a few seconds, Gino looked to the aisleway and began waving his hand towards his position...

And running down came heel support

“Gentleman” Chris Adams

and

Jake “The Snake” Roberts

! They hit the ring and immediately began plummeting both

Von Erichs

, with Gino joining into the foray after quickly recovering. The three men separated

David

and

Kevin

into different corners, Gino moving between both as he gave the boys some heavy boots. David in particular received a real mean slap across the face from Gino, as well!

Terry Gordy

had dropped to the outside, watching as the Von Erich fell victim to the dastardly trio… Fans on the outside, all enraged over what was happening, urged Gordy to get in and save the babyface superstars… But perhaps before Gordy had an opportunity to play hero, the fans attention quickly turned to the arrival of

Kerry Von Erich

and a familiar face to World Class wrestling... his friend for life…

Brian Adias

!

Making his Texas wrestling return, childhood friend of the Von Erichs and former Varsity football teammate of Kerry Von Erich, Brian Adias, hit the ring with his best friend from the age of four and quickly overwhelmed the The Dynamic Duo and Jake Roberts! Brian focused mainly on Jake, taking him to task against the ropes, launching him off, and hitting him with a big elbow! The fans lit up even more when Brian chucked Jake over the top rope! Meanwhile, Kerry brought the heat too, throwing Chris Adams over as well. He took Chris around the aprons, smashing him into the corner posts and punishing him on the open ground. With David and Kevin stunned, this left Gino standing face-to-face with Brian Adias, two men who have battled at various points in time in the past, but perhaps no bigger moment than right now.

Gino egged on Brian, who didn't back down in the face of arrogant competition. Gino charged for a big hit and Brian countered with an excellent sweep, sending Hernandez straight to the mat! Getting to his feet, Brian rushed Gino into the corner and began to drill into him with hard rights and a couple gut kicks! By this time, Jake was getting back into the action, and nearly got into it again with Brian Adias before Gino scurried out of the ring and prompted Jake to follow him along. David and Kevin were also looking to join the fight, this time, out numbering the trio for the first time! With the heels running to the back, the babyfaces cherished the admiration of their home state crowd!

NWA Texas Heavyweight Championship

Gino Hernandez ©

versus

Terry Taylor

In an extremely short match which got the show off to a strong start,

Gino Hernandez

defeated

Terry Taylor

in 3:54 by pinfall when using the ropes for leverage. It's a match where it's explained Gino was willing to put his Texas Heavyweight title on the line to show anybody, making strong satirical hint to that of

David Von Erich

, while that he could beat anyone else on the roster too.

Andrea the Lady Giant

got her hands dirty a bit too at ringside for Gino. Hernandez makes defence number nine of the NWA Texas Heavyweight championship.

Bill Mercer

is alongside

"Playboy" Gary Hart

, who comes hot out the gate trying to quell rumors related to

Jake Roberts'

mysterious briefcase. Hart proclaims,

”Yes! It was me! All along, I was the one who planted that briefcase for Jake to find. And I know Jake is the perfect man to motivate with such a magnificent object! The world’s most indestructible briefcase, all the way from the depths of Moscow! There’s no greater piece of security like it in the world today!”

Nobody will get their hands on Hart’s money, which he claims comes from a pool of investors with interests in removing the

Von Erichs

from wrestling power. He also shares that after his three guys trampled the Von Erichs and

”ruined”

David

's homecoming, he was considering opening up his briefcase, but it wasn’t the right time... He says the Von Erichs haven't suffered enough, and most importantly,

Kerry

can still call himself NWA American Heavyweight champion. He says until Kerry is dethroned, no one, not even Jake “The Snake” Roberts, is going to get into that briefcase and his bidding must be complete in full!

We cut to

Bill Mercer

once again, who is now interviewing

Randy Savage

in a local broadcasting studio, fake plants included. Mercer brings up

Billy Jack Haynes'

comments in regards to Randy Savage, when he said he saw no comparison between the two men. Savage heats up quickly, appearing angry, and saying those were hostile words from his point of view. Savage is also very quick to let everyone know about how he feels about Billy Jack. Randy calls him a coward, and that Billy Jack shouldn't be saying things about people which he can't back up in the ring! He promises, any day of any week, he could beat Billy Jack clean and easy... one, two, three...

Bobby Eaton

versus

Bobby Fulton

In a decent

wild brawl

,

Bobby Fulton

defeated

Bobby Eaton

in 7:39 when Bobby Eaton got disqualified as his tag team partner and other half of

The Midnight Express

,

Dennis Condrey

, hit the ring to help beatdown Fulton. Meanwhile, manager

Jim Cornette

had the refere distracted with nonsense involving Fulton’s partner,

Tommy Rogers

. But once Rogers knocked Cornette over the head, he was quick to make the save!

David Von Erich

has finally returned to World Class Championship Wrestling, and joins

Bill Mercer

to discuss what happened at January Star Wars! He says he is not surprised

Gary Hart

and his goons tried to disrupt his homecoming, but says he is not deterred and promises the fans he will get revenge for trying to upset what should have been a proud moment for all of Texas and pro wrestling around the country! Mercer asks David what sort of impact he intends to make upon his return to World Class, and David answers bluntly.

”I’m back to take back what’s mine. And that will always be the NWA Texas Heavyweight championship. So,

Gino Hernandez

, you stupid halfbrained halfbreed, you wanna stick your nose in my business again? You think you got the guts to put your title on the line? Because I’m here to make sure you say goodbye to your precious title belt, whether you like it or not! And soon enough, the great state of Texas will have a champion to once again call their own!”

David Von Erich

versus

Terry Gordy

In a

storytelling bout

that had great heat and decent wrestling,

David Von Erich

defeated

Terry Gordy

in 16:52 by submission with the Iron Claw. One would expect Gordy to make a strong opponent for David’s return match to World Class television, but it was clear the two did not click whatsoever in the ring, and it made for an awkward bout. It was disappointing to see, but David’s overness with the fans was enough to carry this match on and still had great heat.

I can honestly feel like I'm sitting inside The Sportatorium, watching World Class Championship Wrestling, as you (as Bill Mercer) describe the action and excitement. I truly feel like we're well on our way to the action picking up, and with the talent that you have (barring any future tragedies), will definitely propel you into the 1990s.

Thank you for the great feedback! I hope this does provide a sense of what it was like watching World Class, or being lucky enough to have been there in person, a part of the madness! And yes, I agree, it’s going to start getting good! Let’s avoid any tragedies!!!

February 20, 2021

Monday, Week 1, February 1985

”That’s what I told ‘em!”

Fritz shouted at me. He was getting heated, but probably not worse than before…

”They ain’t gon’ wrassle for Watts any more, and that’s just the way it’s gonna be, ya hear? Not you, not Watts, not the entire NWA gon’ convince me otherwise.”

Fritz continued... I knew this was quickly going to turn into a bad situation. He was clearly upset when Kerry and Kevin told him they were going to start working dates with Bill Watts and Mid-South Wrestling, but word travels quick in this business. Tell a wrestler… telephone… or something like that.

He had given strict word to Kerry and Kevin not to accept anymore dates from Watts and to completely disassociate. He wanted his Von Erich boys taking no part in Watts’ long-term future plans, and said Von Erichs are World Class men through and through, and they shouldn’t stand under any other banner. Word was getting around that Watts was extremely keen on making Kerry his big star, even the dirt sheets were covering the action. Although Fritz sweats he doesn’t read them, he somehow got wind and took serious offense.

”My children? Watts wants to use my children to earn a living? You think I’m not gonna use my kids? Does that make any damned sense to you? Watts thinks he can get away with that?”

The questions continued as Fritz’ seemed genuinely bewildered by the rumors. Kerry and Kevin, on the other hand, certainly must have felt a real double-stand in play considering David’s success abroad, despite his failing relationship with his Dad.

Two days later, I got word that Kerry and Kevin both had not complied with their father’s wishes, and that sent Fritz’ mood into quite the tizzy. He continued ranting about Bill Watts and the “cheapskate promotion” he was running up north, but the truth was, Mid-South was doing really great numbers. Numbers we wish we were getting. Kerry and Kevin’s agreement with Bill was surely sending another rift through the family, how much until the fabric breaks?

Meanwhile, I could tell I was starting to lose the locker room. Coming into such an important role in the company with no experience hasn’t been easy, and I knew winning over the boys was going to be perhaps the hardest, and most important, part of my job. There were certainly a lot of guys in good spirits, especially a lot of my new hires which made me feel good, but bad eggs still existed. Iceman King Parsons was the biggest pain in my neck. He had been in who knows how many altercations with somebody in my first month with the company and had a huge gray cloud hanging over his head. It’s to a point where I’ve seriously considered having the conversation with Fritz, but feel I need to have a certifiable replacement…

Billy Jack is also probably pretty close to hitting someone, just based on his reception backstage and overall attitude. If I can protect him in the ring, surely I can protect him in the locker room too, right? And what to do with Mike? Kid’s high every day of his life. Thankfully, I haven’t had any real issues with any of the other Von Erich’s… yet.

I knew the Von Erich boys were okay with me so far, and I think I turned a corner with Kerry when I told him I wanted to bring in his high school classmate Brian Adias into the fold. I could tell he was genuinely happy to hear Brian would be wrestling in World Class, and I thought Brian could be a decent branch-out character from the Von Erich’s themselves… Another hometown kid, maybe doesn’t have the big name, but he’s that kid who grew up down the street, maybe with a bit less than what your family had, but he had a good heart and stood up for the right things. That’s Brian Adias in a nutshell, the question was, could his in-ring work keep him surviving long enough?

At the end of the day though, I knew some changes had to be made. For now, however, I reflected on the month’s big news out of what I saw as our main competition: the WWF, JCP, and MSW.

Davey Boy Smith

versus

Rick Rude

In a bout that got the show off to a strong start and had a decent reaction from the crowd, but sub-par wrestling,

Rick Rude

defeated

Davey Boy Smith

in 10:30 by pinfall by using underhanded tactics! Rick Rude's continued underhandedness keeps rubbing the Dallas fans the wrong way, in between his periodic gyrating of the pelvis while flexing his abdomen. And despite Dallas' wishes, there was no denying Rude was a physical specimen and was beginning to show signs of winning momentum. Davey Boy Smith, on the other hand, continues his learning...

Billy Jack Haynes

versus

One Man Gang

In a decent match which got the crowd hotter,

Billy Jack Haynes

defeated

One Man Gang

in 5:54 by submission with a Full Nelson! Billy Jack continues to gain favor with the fans, especially the ladies in attendance. His good-guy behavior is undoubtedly a huge testament to his ability to dominate his opponents. Usually physically larger, Haynes continues racking up the wins using his favorite move, the full nelson lock.

As the fans celebrate the victory of growing babyface favorite

Billy Jack Haynes

, things take a quite a turn when he is attacked from behind by none other than fellow newcomer, “Macho Man”

Randy Savage

! Haynes doesn’t see him coming, instead hanging over by one of the ringsides as he interacts with the fans following his win. Savage apparently ran from out of the entranceway, over to Haynes, and drilled him over the head with a big double axe handle! Haynes falters and succumbs to a continued beatdown at the hands of Savage, who has to eventually be restrained by World Class officials before things get truly out of hand! Rage is in the eyes of Savage, who must be out for revenge following comments by Billy Jack, which some have not even considered hostile. But they have certainly struck a nerve with Randy Savage, who has certainly started quite a tiff with Billy Jack! How will Billy Jack respond…?

The Missing Link

versus

Scott Hall

In a wild brawl that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling,

Scott Hall

defeated

The Missing Link

in 7:38 by pinfall. Link came out with everything but the kitchen sink, and Hall did his best to fend off the savage man, who pulls his hair in between beating his opponents to a bloody pulp. Hall, however, overcomes the odds and, despite having a superior physical attributes, comes across at the underdog as he catches Link with a gigantic clothesline to seal the deal.

NWA American Tag Team Championship

versus

The Midnight Express

In a decent match which got the crowd hotter,

defeated

The Midnight Express

in 16:26 when

Bobby Fulton

pinned

Bobby Eaton

with a Flying Body Press. This was after Eaton's manager,

Jim Cornette

, accidentally whacked his own man with his tennis racket! The Dallas crowd remains firmly behind their tag champions, while Cornette continued to draw no love from the viewers and fans in attendance. Cornette appeared a bit desperate, doing whatever he could to play his hand in his one, and it backfired. The Fantastics retain the NWA American Tag Team titles, and make successful defence number five.

Iceman King Parsons

versus

Randy Savage

In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling,

Randy Savage

defeated

Iceman King Parsons

in 12:16 with a Flying Elbow Smash. The self-proclaimed "Macho Man" showed off some serious talent as he took to highly competitive King Parsons who came into the night rockin' and rollin'. Savage was able to overwhelm Parsons with flurries of punches when it came to, in between some excellent fast-paced action. He wowed the fans with a big flying elbow drop to take the pinfall, but none of his great work in the ring served him any due with the fans. Certainly upset over his attack earlier on Billy Jack Haynes, Savage was already the most hated guy in the room come match bell.

After an incredible flying maneuver from

Randy Savage

which gathered him the three count, the referee raised the “Macho Man’s” arm as fans gave him a piece of their mind. Not only were the unhappy with Savage’s continued victories, this time over the popular

Iceman King Parsons

, but also following Savage’s attack on growing favorite

Billy Jack Haynes

earlier in the evening. And as a matter of revenge… it’s Billy Jack himself who takes to the ring! The crowd grows with excitement as Billy Jack ran out from behind the entrance curtain and rushed to the ring, where Savage immediately takes note and almost panics! But alas, Savage is able to roll out from the opposite side of the ring and jumps the barricades into the crowd, who continue to hurl insults towards him! Billy Jack stops at the ropes and shakes them in frustration as the fans support their new babyface in spite of Savage who appears to be a new enemy for the people of Texas! With Billy Jack unable to get his hands on Savage tonight, what’s next for these two in World Class Championship Wrestling?

https://i.imgur.com/2OqK20D.png{/img]

Rock N’ Roll Express

versus

The Fabulous Freebirds

In a good match,

Rock N' Roll Express

defeated

The Fabulous Freebirds

in 14:21 when

Robert Gibson

pinned

Michael Hayes

with a Rocker Dropper. The Freebirds really wrestled their butts off, certainly in recognition of Hayes' near departure for the WWF. They were able to draw heat like a mosquito to light as the Dallas crowd was loving another chance to give the Freebirds a piece of their mind. And to no surprise, the Rock N' Roll Express came across as big babyfaces in the limelight. The hot new tag team in World Class secured a big win over the Freebirds, and a higher level of respect with World Class fans.

Finally, the moment has arrived! It’s the return of

David Von Erich

to the World Class Championship Wrestling ring! We find ring announcer

Marc Lowrence

standing in the middle of the ring, pleased to announce to the ring, patriarch of the Von Erich family…

Fritz Von Erich

! The Denton County legend makes his way out to an exceptional applause, and joins Lowrence in the ring. Fritz tells all in attendance he couldn’t be more proud to be here with everyone as his son, David, returns from his time overseas and will be here forward joining the World Class family once again as a star competitor! During Fritz’ speech, his other sons’,

Kevin

,

Kerry

, and

Mike

make their way to the ring, also accompanied by matriarch

Doris

and youngest son

Chris

. It’s a family affair in Dallas, as Fritz speaks to a reminiscent moment when David fought off the likes of

The Great Kabuki

at a previous Star Wars event back in February of 1981, and how much David has grown since. He calls him a future NWA Heavyweight champion, undoubtedly, and then proceeds to welcome David to the ring!

begins blaring throughout the Reunion Arena, the “Yellow Rose of Texas” makes his way down the entrance way and the crowd absolutely erupts! Some have said they felt the entire arena shaking as David walked out full steam ahead, confident with each step. His cowboy hat affixed at the head, and wrestling gear on accompanied by a brown leather vest with “Yellow Rose'' embroidered on the back, David high-fives the fans down the aisle, as the camera follows him through overloaded barricades of fans. Women, kids, and even men alike are all going crazy over David’s final return to Reunion Arena. His return to the great state of Texas… hell, his return to the greatest country on Earth! The tall, ginger haired David eagerly jumps into the ring, and immediately his brothers hug him as if they haven’t seen him since his return to the country, and spends time with each family member before turning to the fans and giving his appreciation. He kisses his hand to the fans as roses are thrown into the ring. One couldn’t come up with a better feel-good moment in professional wrestling...

David speaks to the fans once receiving the microphone, and expresses his deepest gratitude for their appreciation (and admiration) upon his return. He promises to fight hard for them, and to fight hard for his family, and promises to soon achieve his dream of becoming a world champion! He learned a lot overseas, won a lot of titles, and earned a lot of accolades. But nothing replaces the feeling of being home, and calls this the greatest moment of his life.

Unfortunately for David and his family, their “Texas Homecoming” as soon to be spoiled as the collective of

Chris Adams

,

Gino Hernandez

, and

Jake Roberts

, accompanied by

Gary Hart

, hit the ring! The foursome makes their way down the same aisle way and immediately disrupts the crowd’s feel-good moment. Once in the ring, it’s clear the rest of the Von Erich’s are ready to fight, putting their fists up and rushing mother Doris out of the ring. But David, stands between them both, putting his hand out to his brothers, and welcoming the foursome into the ring. The heels are clearly stand-off-ish, and ease their way into the situation.

Gino is first with a microphone and sarcastically welcomes David back home to Dallas, Texas. He mocks David, asking him how his economy flight was, since clearly he can’t afford first class like himself. But that’s besides the point, but Gino and the rest of his buddies came out tonight to make one thing clear: nothing is changing in World Class wrestling just because David Von Erich has returned. In fact, David ought to book his ticket back to Tokyo because he’s going to wish he never came back! No amount of apple pies cooked by mother Doris could soften the blows David is going to feel if he doesn’t stay out of Gino’s business and all of the others! He promises David the beating of a lifetime, and tells him he better forget not only the World Championship, but also the NWA Texas Heavyweight championship, because he doesn’t stand a chance at achieving any of them and better not think twice about them ever again!

David takes issue with Gino’s interruption, and is hot about all of them coming out and wanting to spoil his homecoming. He calls Gino a silver-spooned brat from Highland Parks with no idea of what it means to fight for his family and fight for what he believes in! And David believes Texas is his home, and home is where his heart is, which means David is the rightful Texas Heavyweight champion and all of Texas knows it! This gets major appeal from the fans as they stay hot through the angle.

That’s when Gary Hart snatches the microphone and quickly reminds David of all his failures in chasing gold! He brings up his loss to Ric Flair last year, and says that proves David never deserves a shot again! And as long as Gary Hart is standing their managing the next World Champion, Chris Adams, David can forget all the lies he’s told the wonderful people of Texas (who clearly can’t stand him)!

Jake Roberts, still holding his briefcase supposedly holding $250,000, takes the microphone next, and clearly states how he feels. David is the key to his cashing in this cash cow called his briefcase, and nothing will stand at his way from acquiring the riches Jake has dreamed of as a kid… and just like that he jumps David! The fans got ballistic as David and Jake exchange blows, and the entire ring turns berserk! It’s hard to keep up with who’s fighting who, but a problem for referee

David Manning

who hits the ring and calls for the bell!

Jake Roberts

and

The Dynamic Duo

versus

The Von Erich Family

‘

In a bout that had superb wrestling and great heat,

The Von Erich Family

defeated

Jake Roberts

and

The Dynamic Duo (Chris Adams and Gino Hernandez)

in 24:40 when

David Von Erich

forced

Gino Hernandez

to submit to the Iron Claw! It was a hot match throughout, as David took centerstage through most of the match, and fought back from some tough offense from Gino but was able to make his square on his end at the end of the day. Action also saw Kerry Von Erich and Chris Adams getting into a tussle, which also would involve Gary Hart attempting to interfere, but failing to do so at the behest of David; while Kerry and Chris Adams battled it out as well. When referee David Manning called for the bell, the fans were ecstatic, as the Von Erich’s sent everyone home happy with a big win in the return of David Von Erich!

How are the title histories coming? THEY ARE THE WORST!

February 3, 2021

Saturday, Week 2, January 1985

”Michael’s on his way out.”

Fritz told me face-to-face. He was referring to Michael Hayes, one half of the Fabulous Freebirds.

”You know, Michael and I have a good relationship. He’s been good to me. I been good to him. And you know, the whole Freebird and Von Erich thing, you know you can’t do that forever.”

Fritz continued.

”And Vince is paying him good.”

I added.

”Yes, likely very good.”

He concluded.

”Damnit!”

I said, clenching my fist. Hayes was a brilliant performer and a huge name in World Class. I was going to rely on him to carry a lot of the backbone of the roster, but now my plans had to change. Probably not the first time I was going to have this feeling, but at least it was early enough. And where did that leave his partner-in-crime, Terry Gordy? Fritz and I soon gave Terry the call, one he was probably expecting. Terry was friendly and honest. Yes, he would accept an offer from Vince, but no, there was not one on the table. But had Terry, at this point, also ran his course? That was a question I would have to figure out, but at this point, I guess I was blessed to say Hayes was all Vince had targeted.

The World Wrestling Federation was on a massive hiring spree, it was hard to even keep up with the news. Terry Funk, Rick Martel, The Road Warriors, Jimmy Garvin, Ron Garvin, and others. Some names I would have loved to bring in… Also newsworthy was the announcement of Stan Hansen and Bruiser Brody both signing written deals with New Japan Pro Wrestling, and went on to win the tag titles in their first match together.

The WWF was making moves in the market, Jim Crockett Promotions was situating themselves internally. It’s become evident that Ric Flair is going to be the company’s figurehead moving forward, and will immediately enter a program with Dory Funk Jr. Also being pit together, Dusty Rhodes and Manny Fernandez against The Koloffs, as well as “Superstar” Billy Graham going into a program with up-and-comer Magnum T.A.

Meanwhile, I was dealing with more backstage troubles. Buck Zumhofe brought some outsiders to a few shows this week, and to say they were questionable individuals would be an understatement. I gave him a stern warning personally to try to give myself some rep in the locker room, and it seems to have gone over well. Iceman King Parsons failed to show up to a meeting with a road agent, receiving an earful from Fritz, and that was even after he got into a fight and clocked Tom Zenk pretty good in the locker room.

Speaking of Fritz, Mike Von Erich missed a road agent meeting, for the third time in two weeks. I made a ballsy move and decided to dock Mike’s pay, which received serious criticism from Fritz and the rest of his boys. In retrospect, probably not a good call to make two weeks on the job, but at least it’s helped me see where the line may be and when not to cross it… Alas, the road towards January Star Wars continues...

But, do the Freebirds have the same intentions in mind? Whatever the goals may be for both teams, the Freebirds walk out of this one with the bragging rights moving forward, shameless as they may be.</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><img alt="wZwWA3j.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/wZwWA3j.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><img alt="SvhYQ8R.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/SvhYQ8R.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="foc75bc.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/foc75bc.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Bill Mercer</strong></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> is back to talk briefly about the video he is about to play next.

He cuts to the video and David is shown wearing his typical rancher-garb and patented cowboy hat, looking a bit more aged since last on WCCW television. He’s sitting in a nice office, across the desk, looking right into the camera. His enthusiasm is high as David proclaims his excitement to be returning home to the great state of Texas, where he can come back and show the fans all he has learned in his adventures from overseas! He says he has never felt better in the ring, but nothing will be better than returning home to be with his mother, father, and all of his brothers. He once again commits to being at the January Star Wars event, and can’t wait to see everyone once again! Until then, as they say in the land of the rising sun… </div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>”Sayonara!”</em></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><img alt="wZwWA3j.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/wZwWA3j.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><img alt="SvhYQ8R.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/SvhYQ8R.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="PnO1EQr.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/PnO1EQr.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Back in front of the World Class banner, </div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Bill Mercer</strong></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> is excited to reveal to the fans that at the January Star Wars event, </div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>David Von Erich</strong></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> will be given a big Texas homecoming celebration to welcome his return to World Class wrestling!

January 30, 2021

Saturday, Week 1, January 1985

I woke up the next day after a short night’s sleep. I was invited out after our Friday night headline house show, and needless to say, things got a bit rowdy. Babying a hangover, I could barely make my way over to the phone in time to catch the incoming call.

”Can you believe this loada’ horse mananeur?”

A frazzled Fritz Von Erich said over the line.

”Huh? Fritz?”

I could barely intake anything he was saying.

”That wanna be ‘playboy’ Gary is off booking for Geigel now! I knew he was a salty bastard. When I knew he would find out I was giving you the book, oh I avoided him for about an entire week, I reckon.”

“Fritz, what are you talking about?”

“Gary! Gary Hart! He took the book with Geigel up in the midwest!”

He replied. Slowly putting things together, he must have been saying Gary Hart was taking over the booking position with Central States Wrestling, another NWA-affiliate owned by Bob Giegel. Their office was based out of Kansas City, Missouri, essentially neighboring some of what Fritz was looking to book. I certainly had no acquaintance with the relationship Fritz has had with Gary over the years, so I wasn’t one to judge his reaction. I simply listened, as much as I could take. Fritz ranted about Gary, about how Gary never respected him and never gave him the due he deserved for ‘being the one to put him over’. My thoughts on Gary Hart were that he was an essential piece to the landscape of World Class, but I could tell Fritz was ready to give him the boot.

“Woah, woah, Fritz, listen. You can’t blame a guy for going out and getting his money. Gary is a smart guy, and Giegel needs someone smart to run his booking, just like you need someone smart Fritz.”

“Oh yeah, that why I got you?”

“That’s right Fritz!”

I said jokingly. This got him to lose a bit of his edge, but things soon ramped up when he learned additional news. Mid-South was making moves on the market, and they were quickly talking to a bunch of World Class guys… including Von Erichs. Kerry, our NWA American champion, got a big earful when Fritz learned Kerry was going to work dates for Bill Watts. But, I wonder if Fritz perhaps learned something from David running off earlier the year before… because for some reason Kerry didn’t back down and hasn’t said anything about decommitting from Watts. Besides, what else could he say when he learned Gino Hernandez had signed a deal with Watts first? Not only them, but Jake Roberts, Iceman King Parsons… I guess Fritz was forgetting a bunch of our roster already was working for Mid-South. That meant nothing in the face of Fritz spending hours going over how much of a crook Watts was, and how Mid-South Wrestling is a farce of a wrestling promotion. Called Watts a backstabber… a politicker… yeah yeah, aren’t you all Fritz…

Most importantly, nobody said they would prioritise Mid-South overworking World Class shows, so what was there to complain about. Besides, I was hoping to pick off some potential stars in other territories too. I say it’s fair game…I had other problems going on too. Mike Von Erich, Billy Jack Haynes, Tom Zenk, they were all skipping road agent meetings and I asked Fritz to give them a stern warning. Although, that kid Mick Foley really brought everyone together, if only briefly, when he found that old karaoke machine in the locker room closet and put on quite a performance for us.

Bringing me back to reality, Fritz asked to speak to me for a few minutes. He quickly ran over some, “guidelines”, he was passing across. He said if I didn’t have some goal posts to shoot for, how would I know where I was trying to score… or something like that. Anyways, he basically told me my number one priority was to grow World Class wrestling influence and size. He said he had done some deep digging on what I had mentioned, and was open to expansion, even if it upset the foundation of the National Wrestling Alliance. Also, he was very adamant that I was not allowed to hire any of those

“comedian funny guy workers”

, and definitely

“nobody doing anything crazy like David told me about in Japan, no guys jumping off the tunnel way entrances or anything”

, I think he was referring to what he called

“the new daredevil style”

...

In my downtime, I was able to read-up on the latest in the World Wrestling Federation. Vince was getting closer to his so-called WrestleMania event. A giant pay-per-view supercard he had apparently been putting a lot of marbles on. As things appeared, it was shaping up for an epic showdown between Hulk Hogan and Paul Orndorff, as well as Andre the Giant against fellow big man Big John Studd. Needless to say, things were going to change drastically if this were to go off without a hitch, and these were damn good programs to put together ahead of supercard.
