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!

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!

The final few minutes of this one gave the smaller, underdog babyfaces one last chance at it, but the overpowering physique and strength of two men like Hercules and Missing Link were too much to overcome in this one. Mike and Terry both looked good, but just couldn’t get the job done despite trying their best to get both men on the ground. Having manager Gary Hart at ringside certainly didn’t help their cause either. After his win, Hart joined Hercules in the ring once more and raised his hand to put his new client over.</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="tXlCkCr.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/tXlCkCr.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="ZVgw7fq.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ZVgw7fq.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="5J2U9Rq.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/5J2U9Rq.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="CmIJA9M.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/CmIJA9M.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="edCZ6oB.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/edCZ6oB.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="2OqK20D.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2OqK20D.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><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong><span style="color:#bd0000;">The Fabulous Ones</span></strong></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong> versus </strong></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong><span style="color:#0a265e;">Rock N’ Roll Express</span></strong></span></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;"> In a decent match which got the crowd hotter, the </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><span style="color:#0a265e;">Rock N' Roll Express</span></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;"> defeated </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><span style="color:#bd0000;">The Fabulous Ones</span></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;"> in 11:57 when </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><span style="color:#0a265e;">Ricky Morton</span></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;"> pinned </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><span style="color:#bd0000;">Stan Lane</span></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;"> with a quick roll-up from behind.

Losing big event matches like these, however, aren’t going to be the way to get it done. Perhaps back to the drawing table for the big Memphis tag team.</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="tXlCkCr.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/tXlCkCr.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="2bGIhgY.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2bGIhgY.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="CmIJA9M.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/CmIJA9M.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="deXZWzW.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/deXZWzW.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;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>Texas Street Fight</strong></span></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;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong> </strong></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong><span style="color:#bd0000;">Terry Gordy</span></strong></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong> versus </strong></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong><span style="color:#0a265e;">The Crusher</span></strong></span></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;"> In a decent </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><em>wild brawl</em></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;"> stipulated as a Texas Street Fight, </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><span style="color:#bd0000;">Terry Gordy</span></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;"> defeated </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><span style="color:#0a265e;">The Crusher</span></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;"> in 5:36 by pinfall with a big powerbomb in the center of the ring! This one had some action early before the bell, with Terry Gordy attacking The Crusher as he made his entrance. The Dallas audience gave Crusher a decent enough reaction, and definitely drew some more sympathy when Gordy pummeled him from behind and dragged Crusher around Reunion Arena. Finally, once back in the ring, Crusher had been slammed on the finished concrete floor more than once, including some of the fans' seats, as Gordy was a wild man, taking no regard for anyone or anybody. Crusher was more savvy than Gordy perhaps took credit for, relying on his thirty-year in-ring experience to comeback towards the end. If it would have gone any longer, Crusher likely would have started looking gassed, so five minutes after the bell the contest ended accordingly when Gordy dodged a big blow from the Polish powerhouse and caught the Crusher with enough stuff to set him up for the final blow via the powerbomb. After earning the three-count, however, Gordy acted very differently than before, seeing to The Crusher following his defeat, helping him to his feet, and choosing to help raise his arm! Perhaps we are seeing a different side of Terry Gordy now that he is not under the influence of the other Freebirds? No matter the case, the Reunion Arena audience was receptive and sent both men back to their locker rooms with an applause.</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div

As Cornette jumped for joy, waving his patented tennis racket wildly in the air, the Fantastics argued with the official while One Man Gang laughed his way up the entrance way.

Manning, convinced he saw Billy Jack drop the chain after recovering from a referee bump to find Randy Savage tapping, begins accusing Billy Jack of using the chain to submit Savage! Gary Hart is now on the apron, adamant this is in fact the case! Savage is in agreeance, and tries to show Manning the marks on his neck! Despite Billy Jack’s refusal to admit this, Manning’s mind can’t be changed! He calls for the decision to be reversed and awards the match to Adams and Savage! Furious, Billy Jack gets in the face of David Manning and tries to plead his case. The referee isn’t having it, and refuses to reverse his decision. Newcomer Jerry Blackwell soon gets involved in the proceedings, but Chris Adams puts his hand on Jerry’s chest and shoves him away from the discussions. This certainly rubs Blackwell the wrong way. At 474 lbs., Blackwell isn’t the kind of guy you just lay a hand on, and he proves this to be the case as he puts all his weight behind shoving Adams down and through the ropes, out to the ringside area! This irates Gary Hart, who now has it in for Blackwell, and Jerry stands tall, giving Hart a mouthful of his own! Adams is furious on the outside, pointing and yelling at Blackwell, telling him he’s going to pay for putting his hands on him!

Bronco Lubich calls for the bell and disqualifies Jake on the spot, providing for defence number seven of the NWA American Heavyweight title by champion Kerry Von Erich. The fans celebrate as their homegrown star is handed his title belt by Lubich, and has his arm raised. He’s quickly taken down from behind, however, when Roberts again uses his briefcase as a weapon! This time, there’s nothing the referee can do about it, as Roberts begins clobbering Kerry with the briefcase, and eventually turns to using his fists and feet as weapons as well. Despite a hard fought match by both men, Jake’s refusal to win or lose clean puts him two steps back just as he took one foot forward again. And, once more, his temper got the best of him here. Perhaps his obsession and goal of destroying the Von Erichs is becoming too much for him to handle…</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="tXlCkCr.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/tXlCkCr.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;"> As </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><span style="color:#bd0000;">Jake Roberts</span></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;"> continues his post-match attack on </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><span style="color:#0a265e;">Kerry Von Erich</span></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;">, frustration with Jake grows within the audience as his attacks don’t seem to be letting up any time soon. As Kerry continues to take hard hits, Jake laughs in the face of the champions and all of his supporters. Jake is yelling in Kerry’s ear, that Kerry is nothing and that he can kiss his family goodbye!

Such a shame this one ended the way it did, as both David and Gino wrestled one of their best matches against each other in their storied history. Returning to singles competition in front of the Reunion Arena crowd, the fans were incredibly hot-to-trot for the “Yellow Rose of Texas”. His best moments came when frustrating Gino throughout most of the match, always “one-upping” Gino’s dirty tricks and tactics… David proved one step ahead the entire way. This certainly means David was close to winning back “his” Texas Heavyweight title. For Gino, however, it wasn’t all cheats and tricks in this one, as great wrestling from the Highland Park talent earned him his advantage in this match as well, showing to David that he may have learned something over the past year himself. But with someone like Gino Hernandez involved in such a high profile match, he would undoubtedly have something nasty up his sleeve. That piece of slime this time was his tag team partner, who ran from the heel entranceway and threw Gino the Texas Heavyweight title from the time keeper’s table! Gino would take hold of the gold and red belt, and put it high in the sky as if he was going to wail it acros David’s head! The referee quickly saw Gino with the belt, and ran over to remove the potential weapon from the field of play. This gave Chris Adams the perfect opportunity to slide in the ring, catching David off-guard as the hometown favorite turned around and walked right into a Superkick! Von Erich splattered in the center of the ring as Adams jumped out and Gino jumped on top for the pinfall! After the bell, Gino jumped up in celebration as David was out cold! Gino Hernandez makes defence number ten of the NWA Texas Heavyweight title!</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="tXlCkCr.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/tXlCkCr.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="MCv8dg3.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/MCv8dg3.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="1muKkhq.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1muKkhq.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="enLTODW.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/enLTODW.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="9I2GCdo.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/9I2GCdo.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;"> With </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><span style="color:#0a265e;">David Von Erich</span></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;"> seemingly knocked out, the referee quickly attended to the defeated title challenger as fans gave </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><span style="color:#bd0000;">Chris Adams</span></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;"> and </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><span style="color:#bd0000;">Gino Hernandez</span></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;"> a piece of their mind!

For Gino and Chris, however, they must have certainly been thinking long and hard about the briefcase in Jake’s hands over the course of the past month… Did it really contain all of the money Jake claimed? Was it certifiably indestructible? Did Gary Hart really secretly give it to Jake, and if so, where did he really get all this money? And hey, why wasn’t the Dynamic Duo seeing any of Gary’s large stack of cash!?

And it quickly overcomes them, and lead announcer Bill Mercer, that maybe this isn’t the right key! And maybe, just maybe, this isn’t Gary Hart’s briefcase! They argue with Gary and accuse him of lying! Gary tries to appear as innocent as possible, but he’s not fooling anybody, and soon admits it’s not his briefcase! He’s been lying this entire time! Jake now looks demonic as he stares at the key and then starts running the sharp side down Gary’s head in anger! Gino can’t believe it! He throws the briefcase in the mat, while Chris walks around in disbelief as well! He sees Jake running the key on Hart, and almost stops the hateful act, but doesn’t seem to have a soft spot for his manager anymore! Jake starts stomping on Hart, and Gino joins in as well, but luckily for Gary, now with blood running down the side of his head, he rolls out to safety! The Texas crowd gives the heels a piece of their mind as their night flips upside down from right under them, and they leave Reunion Arena as angry and perplexed as ever as to the true story of Jake’s mysterious briefcase!</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;">

WCCW Championship Sports

Week 1, March 1985

Kerry Von Erich

and

The Fantastics

versus

One Man Gang

and

The Midnight Express

In a

storytelling bout

that had good heat, decent wrestling, got the crowd hotter, and the show off to a strong start,

One Man Gang

and

The Midnight Express

defeated

Kerry Von Erich

and

The Fantastics

in 13:01 when One Man Gang pinned Tommy Rogers with a 747 Splash after Jim Cornette interfered and smacked Tommy Rogers across the head, breaking his tennis racket! Despite the clear evidence, the referee ignores Cornette’s broken racket when he begins celebrating after his new client secures the three count! Tough loss for the babyfaces in this one!

Soon after the closing bell tolls for the opening match,

Jim Cornette

finds a microphone and takes to the PA system…

”

Kerry Von Erich

! You stupid goof, you’d never go toe-to-toe with the big man,

One Man Gang

! And now that he’s under my tutelage, he’s dead set on that WCCW Television title of yours! … What’s that Kerry? Yeah, that’s right! I bet you forgot you were even the champ you dimwit! I talked to the World Class governing body and reminded them you haven’t defended that title in over a month! And that’s a lot of money just sitting on the table! Well I got news for you, Kerry! Next week, you’re fighting One Man Gang for the Television title and since we’ve won this match, there’s nothing you can do about it! Haha!”

Cornette giggles like a little girl while One Man Gang and Kerry Von Erich exchange pleasantries.

We cut to

Bill Mercer

standing in a hallway, where he is joined by “The Yellow Rose of Texas”,

David Von Erich

! The recently returned Von Erich son has a big bandage visible on his head, covering up the damage suffered at the February Star Wars event, just last week Mercer reminds the viewers. He also calls back to scenes of David bloodied at the hands of

Gino Hernandez

and his best friend,

Chris Adams

. David shakes his head in disappointment as Mercer runs through recent events, and leads his statement by reminding Mercer and the viewers at home that he’s been bloodied and beaten before, and David Von Erich certainly isn’t down and out because of one bad night. He chuckles to himself, perhaps having forgotten just how ruthless wrestlers in Texas were like Gino and Chris, and how they have no regard for anyone but themselves. In fact, he had the match won, he reminds Mercer… He knows Gino can’t beat him clean, which is why Gino had to resort to interference from Chris Adams to hang on to the Texas title! Mercer asks how David’s head is doing, and the Yellow Rose says he will be okay recovering from his Star Wars loss last week, and is confident that at the very end of it all, he will be the Texas Heavyweight champion once again!

Hercules Hernandez

versus

Scott Hall

In an extremely short match,

Hercules Hernandez

defeated

Scott Hall

in 4:11 by pinfall with a flying double axe-handle after a distraction from Hercules’ new manager,

Gary Hart

! A match-up of two of the biggest guys in World Class, Hall looked a bit underwhelming despite his sizable comparision to Hercules. Nonetheless, Hercules came out looking like the strong, dominant heel he is transforming into under the guidance of his new manager.

Bill Mercer

is back on screen, this time joined by perhaps the most controversial man in all of World Class Championship Wrestling,

Jake “The Snake” Roberts

! Jake has his arms completely wrapped around his briefcase, chewing on the top handle while Mercer starts the segment. Mercer questions Jake about his attack on

Gary Hart

last week at the February Star Wars event, and questions the legitimacy of Jake’s briefcase. This last question is what sends Jake into a tirade, taking serious issue with Mercer questioning his briefcase, supposedly containing $250,000. He stands tall over Mercer, getting in his face, similar to how he approached Gary Hart before running Hart’s key down his head! Mercer looks scared for his life as Jake preaches about how he vows to destroy the Von Erichs and earn his two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars from the man who gave him this mission, whom he now knows is not Gary Hart! He knows this man is out there, watching his every move! He knows how he found this briefcase, and he knew no one would believe him! But none of that matters to Jake Roberts! The only thing he is worried about is fulfilling his destiny, meeting his suitor, and earning his big pay day!

After commercial break, we return to a much different scene involving

Bill Mercer

, now is alongside

Kerry Von Erich

, and the recently returned

Brian Adias

. The two appear quite cold with their demeanor, appearing shaken up over the topic of their discussion: the ankle injury suffered by

Kevin Von Erich

after the brutal attack performed by

Chris Adams

and

Hercules Hernandez

! Kerry is quite upset, looking deep into the camera as he promises retribution for his older brother! Kerry reminds both Chris Adams and Hercules Hernandez that he beat Jake Roberts at the last Star Wars event, and both Adams and Hercules are no match for him either!

Mercer turns his questions over to Brian Adias, who backs-up his “brother from another mother”, Kerry. He pats him on the back as he tells Bill Mercer he would be quite worried about what Kerry would do to him if he were as big of a slimeball as Chris Adams is! He ensures Adams and Hercules have got another thing coming if they think they can put a man out of work and attack a man’s livelihood like they did to Kevin. Alternating back to Kerry, Mercer asks him to share some special words he told Bill he’d like to finish with. Kerry thanks Bill for his time before issuing a challenge, he wants both Chris Adams and Hercules Hernandez two-on-two against himself and Brian Adias, and he wants them next week on Championship Sports television!

Brian Adias

,

David Von Erich

and

Mike Von Erich

versus

Jake Roberts

and

The Dynamic Duo

In a

wild brawl

that had great heat and good wrestling,

Jake Roberts

and

The Dynamic Duo

defeated

Brian Adias

,

David Von Erich

, and

Mike Von Erich

in 14:03 when Chris Adams pinned Mike Von Erich after a Superkick thanks to an illegal distraction by Gino Hernandez! It was a hot six-man affair in the Sportatorium, as the three biggest heels in World Class came toe-to-toe to a new assortment of Von Erich-clan opponents. This time, David was flanked by two quick and fast-moving workers, Brian and Mike, who came to the aid of Kerry last week at the February Star Wars event. Since that moment, Brian and Mike appeared to have a lot of pent up energy ready to release on the likes of Jake, Gino, and Chris... and release it they did, as Brian had a few spots in this one, first with Gino where he went from multiple quick roll-ups in a row followed by a smooth transition into a leg-lock; next with Chris where Adams feigned the Superkick and Brian caught his leg in the air turning into a few rounds of the 'ole dragon-screw! For Mike, he was able to impress the Texas-faithful with some high-flying crossbodies, akin to his older brother Kevin. While these sent he heels out from the ring to kill the momentum, there was nothing they could do to stop the commanding force of David Von Erich from playing a huge role as well. None of the heels wanted anything to do with "The Yellow Rose of Texas", as they repeatedly tagged each other in to avoid coming toe-to-toe with the pride of Texas. When the action became unavoidable for one of the men, this time being Jake Roberts, David dominated the affair, and was able to keep control of the match until having to tag out for a rest and his younger brother, Mike, giving away the babyface momentum.

This may not be completely his fault, as the dastardly heels really laid it on Mike once they had the opportunity, perhaps having felt this one had slipped away much too early and were now extra reluctant to give Mike any chance to rally back. After failing to get the hot tag back to David, this one ended with Mike caught with a big Superkick from Chris Adams after Gino Hernandez was able to distract Mike Von Erich for a split second, giving the heels another chance at bragging rights moving forward. The babyfaces were able to retreat in their woes before the heels were able to lay more punishment on, as they've been known to do over recent weeks. This left, Adams, Hernandez, and Roberts all in the ring following their win, perhaps happy with their efforts, but tense due to last week's events at the Star Wars event, all not knowing what was next with Gary Hart, Jake's briefcase, the Von Erich's, and title gold...

This is a great diary, and I'm all caught up now. You have made me go watch the Dark Side of The Ring episode on Gino, what an interesting story he had. I also remember watching an episode about Von Erichs, but back then I didn't differentiate much between most brothers. Keep up the good work!
