It’s a Texas tornado! Run for cover! Seriously, the Freebirds and Von Erichs lock up in a Texas tornado match. In addition, can Bundy get revenge against Yatsu? How will Garvin fare with Lothario? Who’s our special guest today?

As the program begins, David joins the broadcast table to discuss the main event. He’ll have his brothers’ backs and also wants to regain the Texas title from Garvin.

Match 1 (non-title): NWA Texas champion “Gorgeous” Jimmy Garvin (w/ Sunshine) versus Jose Lothario

Lothario leap-frogged and monkey-flipped Garvin.
When Lothario countered a side head lock with a knee crusher, Garvin bailed out of the ring for some comfort from Sunshine.
Garvin rebounded with a knee to Lothario’s midsection.
As the Dallas faithful chanted “go Jose,” Sunshine distracted referee Fred Sinclair so that Garvin could pull some chicanery. SNEAKY!
Lothario then delivered a backbreaker but couldn’t capitalize further.
Next, Garvin took him off his feet with a double leg take down twice, yet Lothario powered out each time.
Upon the third try, Garvin held the second rope for leverage. Clever!
1-2-3.
Garvin won.

When Lothario complains to Sinclair about the second rope, Garvin attacks him but loses badly. Sunshine then steps in between them to protect her man. Sunshine truly embodies her role as Garvin’s valet.

In the conference room at the offices of Devastation, Inc., Mercer interviews Akbar with Bundy. Akbar begins discussing oil production with a newspaper quoting $29/barrel. Wow, it hovers in the 60s these days. Regardless, he intimates that NWA World champion “Nature Boy” Ric Flair is under his control.

Prior to the next match, Mercer interviews Hussein with Yatsu. Hussein promises that Yatsu will beat Bundy tonight and Kabuki in a kendo stick match. Methinks Yatsu pulled a Robert Gibson there.

According to Mercer, Kevin Von Erich regained the American title from Gordy on March 11.
As Bundy missed a clothesline, Yatsu delivered a thrust kick that took down Bundy.
Following a back drop, Bundy gave Yatsu a cross corner whip followed by an avalanche.
Hussein then grabbed Bundy by the leg so that Yatsu could regain the advantage. How dastardly!
When Hussein tossed a kendo stick to him, Yatsu WALLOPED Bundy with it.
Referee David Manning then called for the bell to disqualify Yatsu.

After the match, Yatsu continues to whack Bundy with the kendo stick until Hussein keeps him at bay.
