Prior to the opening match, Mr. Red grabs the microphone and calls the NYC faithful “hillbillies” and runs down Albano. HA! Let’s hope the wiseguys in Queens don’t find out about it.

Match 1: Ivan Koloff (w/ Mr. Red) versus Corporal Chris Michaels

Highlights:

For those unaware, Mr. Red was portrayed by Marty Yesberg.
Ivan clotheslined Michaels and followed with a leg drop.
When he supplied Michaels with a swinging neckbreaker, Ivan backdropped him.
Ivan then applied a Cobra clutch, and Michaels submitted at 3:38.

Rating: DUD

Summary: Showcase match for Ivan.

After the match, Mr. Red distracts the anonymous referee, and Ivan nails Michaels in the head with his chain. Nefarious! While Michaels is BUSTED OPEN, the beating continues. The referee shoves down Mr. Red, but Ivan physically dismisses him. As Ivan further whips Michaels, Bob Backlund arrives to save Michael’s bacon.

Muraco shills the PPV while cutting a promo on Gordy, and Gordy rebuts.

Match 2: Wet’n’Wild versus the Power Twins (w/ John Tolos)

Highlights:

Beach took both Power Twins down with a flying headscissors.
As he dropkicked Larry, Wild Thing tagged in, and Wet’n’Wild double-backdropped him.
Wild Thing then slammed Larry, delivered a leg drop, and got 2.
When Beach tagged in, he hooked a gutwrench suplex upon Larry.
Wild Thing tagged in, mounted the second turnbuckle, and lowered the boom on Larry.
After Larry rebounded with a double underhook suplex, David tagged in.
The Power Twins then double-backdropped Wild Thing, and David clotheslined him.
While Larry tagged in, the Power Twins double-guillotined Wild Thing on the top rope.
Beach then distracted referee Dick Kroll, and John Tolos nailed Wild Thing with a banquet chair on the floor. How dastardly!
As a mid-ring collision occurred, tags were exchanged on both sides.
Beach then provided the Power Twins with a double noggin knocker and dropkicked Larry.
When he supplied David with a ten-punch count-along, Beach bulldogged him.
David then held Beach from behind, and Larry retrieved Beach’s surfboard.
After Beach avoided getting creamed thanks to heel miscommunication, Wild Thing entered the ring and WALLOPED David with the surfboard.
Kroll called for the bell and ruled the bout a double disqualification at 6:49.

Rating: **½

Summary: While they used the tag formula to a certain degree, the match lacked heat but had some solid wrestling. Perhaps a rematch can garner better results with the fans?

After the match, the two teams brawl in the aisle, and Tolos smacks Beach with his shoe. Wild Thing comes to his partner’s aid, and the heel scatter.

Match 3: Mass Confusion versus Hog Calhoun & Cash Jackson

Highlights:

For those unaware, Calhoun was portrayed by Jack Martin, yet I have NO CLUE who Jackson was. Perhaps his parents preferred quick and smooth transactions.

When Calhoun missed an elbow drop, Brunzell tagged in.

1-2-3.

Conclusion: Are you ready for the PPV? The UWF and Herb Abrams hope so! Rather than a double-DQ in the Wet’n’Wild/Power Twins match, couldn’t we get a Tolos-influenced heel victory to garner sympathy heat for the babyfaces? The Backlund arrival was a nice surprise and having Volkoff on the show was a good change of pace. I bet you’re truly excited for the PPV, right?

TV Rating: NONE
