Who will capture the vacated Texas title? Will Kerry get the better of Hayes, or will the Freebirds have other plans? Also, who will join me to co-host tonight’s reflection?

Hey, everyone! It’s Joshua from WarGames. I hope he doesn’t suggest we play Global Thermonuclear War.

As a result, referee Bronko Lubich called for the bell.
According to ring announcer Marc Lowrance, both wrestlers were disqualified; thus, the title remained vacant.

After the match, David applies the Iron claw to Garvin while a horrified Sunshine gasps in fear. Garvin escapes by tossing David over the top rope to the floor.

Before the show leaves the air, Mercer interviews Garvin with Sunshine at the broadcast table. Garvin’s adamant to become the Texas champion and cuts a promo on David.

Conclusion: The feud between David and Garvin rages on while the question of Kerry’s partner at the extravaganza remains undetermined. Hopefully, next week, we’ll learn more about it. With the action hot and heavy between the Von Erichs and Freebirds/Garvin, let’s hope the game doesn’t get out of hand.

Good strategy, Joshua. Perhaps we’ll join our collective brains again before 1983 comes to a close.
