Highlights:
Rating: **
Summary: Crazy brawl with great heat on both sides, yet the nefarious means by Red enabled Koloff to steal the victory.
After the match, Herb Abrams enters the ring and grabs the microphone. By his authority, he reverses the decision and awards the match to Valiant. Immediately, Red CLOBBERS Abrams in the back with his cane. How dastardly!
While Valiant dispatches Koloff from the ring, Red continues to hammer a befallen Abrams. Ultimately, Valiant wields a chair to send Red scurrying backstage. Paramedics arrive to tend to Abrams who is both OUT COLD and BUSTED OPEN. Unfortunately, Abrams is removed from ringside on a gurney.

Conclusion: Drama unfolds after the main event, and we’re left wondering what happened to Abrams. Hopefully, we’ll find out next week. Also, Orton retained his title as Nightstalker, Orndorff, and Wet’n’Wild won their matches. Without question, you MUST see this episode if only to see the carnage following the main event.
Next week, Orndorff challenges Orton for the Southern States title!
