Falk, who also wrestles as Tony the Tiger and will eventually become Boy Tony and also The icon, could mount very little offense and was bothered by Jimmy Hart’s screaming through the megaphone. Jesse used the Ropes to Choke out Tony and then a falling Head Slam. The Bulldog finished the match. 3:49
4. Dizzy Bill Smithson; Running Body Slam Pin over Chick Donovan. Smithson, who dresses in shabby jeans and would eventually become Moondog Spike, interrupted a promo interview by Boyd Pierce with Chick that added points to his total.

1. Tom Zenk and Gorgeous Gary Young; Double Count-Out. Zenk blocked a snak attack during the introductions and performed a Brainbuster on Young. Referee Wally Karbo was willing to start the match right then (it would have been an immediate pin) but Zenk wanted Karbo to wait until Young was ready. Young’s best hope was to take the match OOR because Zenk was controlling every move aspect in the ring. After Gary bailed from the ring Zenk followed and eventually used a Missile Dropkick that sent Gorgeous Gary flying from the ramp into the pit. As Tom was ablout to head back to the ring, Playboy Buddy Rose waiting at the top of the ramp began jawing with him. The time ran out. 5:16
2. Top Guns (Ricky Rice and Derrick Dukes) beat Pretty Playboys (Buddy Rose and Doug Somers) with Sherri Martel. The Guns were instant crowd favorites as they used a splashing entrance that excited the fans. The Playboys used their usual Dirty Doubleteam tactics to gain the advantage and it looked like curtains for The Guns when Buddy Rose hit Derrick Dikes with a Vegas jackpot (DDT). The is when the match took an UNUSUAL RESULT turn. Sherry got anzious and didn’t notice Rose tag out to Somers. She tried to help and swung a Wine Bottle. It hit Doug in the head and he crashed to the canvas. Ricky Rice rolled him up for the pin. 11:56

4. Bobby Duncum with Bobby Heenan; Guillotine Leg Drop Pin over Tommy Jammer. Blackjack Lanza was at ringside with Heenan and couldn’t help but add his 2 cents. In this case it was a slam over the head with a Folded steel Chair while Heenan distracted Referee Henry Van Loon. The points deducted from Jammer were way too much for him to recover. Duncum followed with a Piledriver and then the Guillotine Leg Drop although it was unnecessary. 4:13
5. Terry Gordy; Belly to Back Suplex Pin over Yuri Gordienko. Yuri tried a Suicide Leap from the Turnbuckle but he crashed to the canvas.

Terry used a Double Axe Handle and the Belly to Back Suplex on Gordienko who was dazed. 6:16
6. Blackjack Lanza with Bobby Heenan and Dino Bravo; Double DQ. This should have been a DQ in favor of Bravo but Referee Henry Van Loon missed the culprits in a match that ended with several wrestlers attacking the ring. Bobby Duncum was at ringside with Heenan. The young Dino had lanza in trouble and may have had a pin after performing a Reverse atomic Drop. After Duncum pulled Bravo by his legs OOR, Bobby started beating on Dino. Hans Mueller and Yuro Gordienko ran out to help Duncum although they had no business near the ring. Tom Zenk and Bulldig Bob Brown and Ricky Rice ran out to help Dino. This was a Pier 6 Brawl that Referee van Loon couldn’t control. Unsure of the culprits he called a Double DQ. Of Course Heenan protested claiming his stable was innocent. 6:39
7. Rick Martel and Teijo Khan with Sheik Adnan El Kassie; Double Count-Out. The fans showed their dislike of Adnan and Khan with boos and a Hit with a Sign.

Adnan motioned to the back stage area and Boris Zukov, Mord the Barbarian and Chris Markokk all ran out. They were followed by Terry Gordy, Tom Zenk and Bulldog Bob Brown. Another Big Brawl and confusion. Referee Wally Karbo called the match a Count-Out and though there was more than enough time for a Count-Out, no one saw Referee Karbo do any counting. He simply used both hands to gesture; ENOUGH. 8:38
8. The Sheiks (Jerry Blackwell and Ken Patura) with Sheik Adnan El Kassie beat Crusher/Bruiser. The Sheiks used Dirty Doubleteam and Choking with Tunics to try and gain an advantage. El Kassie was busy using a trip here and there. Patura was thrown from the ring by Bruiser as Crusher caught Blackwell with a Claw. Bruiser used an Atomic Drop on Nord the Barbarian who was at ringside and tried to enter the ring. Referee Henry Van Loon was KO’d from a Body Smash.

Unfortunately for Green he dropped the Blackjack to the canvas and would have been DQ’d but Referee Earl Hebner noticed Sorenson used a Flying Cranium Cracker that set up the Facelock DDT for the Pin. Hebner was not about to be cheated from the satisfaction of Mo Green being angry. 4:13
