First of all, I would like to take WWE Network to task for not having this show available. While the Vault content doesn’t get as much traffic as the current content supershows such as this one (and its successors) along with AWA’s Superclash shows would help to promote the vast content of the Network quite well. Second of all, this show was held at Texas Stadium (then-home of the Dallas Cowboys) as a tribute to the recently fallen David Von Erich. Prior to his death David was being groomed for the NWA World title. Some would say he was the best wrestler among the Von Erichs while others would argue that Kerry was the star.

**BREAKING NEWS** WCW began running house shows again during this time period and had a couple of title changes:
A house show? Why am I reviewing a house show? Oh, you mean THIS show? While house shows in Madison Square Garden were broadcast locally on cable this particular house show contained an historical highlight that cannot be overlooked. I just hope the rest of the card doesn’t suck.
