Can Kerry fight his way to the Brass Knuckles title? Who’s the newcomer? Who or what will assist me with tonight’s presentation?

Match 4 for the WCCW Brass Knuckles title: Terry Gordy (champion w/ Michael Hayes) versus the “Modern Day Warrior” Kerry Von Erich (w/ Kevin Von Erich)

Back on 3/25, Gordy defeated Kabuki to win this title.
According to ring announcer Marc Lowrance, this match has a no-DQ stipulation.
Due to the nature of the match, each wrestler taped his right hand.
Gordy missed a knee drop, so Kerry hammered him for 2.
Also, Gordy was BUSTED OPEN.
While Hayes distracted referee David Manning, Gordy tossed Kerry over the top rope to the floor. SNEAKY!

When Gordy delivered a knee drop, he tied Kerry to the Tree of Woe.
Another knee drop by Gordy earned him a 2-count.
After Kerry rebounded with a dropkick, he applied an iron claw.
Hayes then got up on the apron causing Kevin to do the same.
As Manning shooed Kevin down to the floor, Hayes entered the ring and CREAMED Kerry. How dastardly!
In Hayes’ attempt to avoid harm from Kevin, he sat on the apron.
Kerry then grabbed and nailed Hayes.
With Kerry distracted, Gordy put a knee into his back.
1-2-3.
Gordy retained.

Following a commercial break, Mercer interviews the Freebirds in the ring. Hayes touts the Freebirds’ accomplishments and believes they’d run the Von Erichs ragged in the Omni or Mid-South Coliseum. He then calls Brody a “sell-out.” Meanwhile, Roberts describes the hair removal cream that will be applied to Parsons at the extravaganza. Almost singlehandedly, these guys are keeping storylines flowing in WCCW.

Conclusion: Completely skippable episode unless you’re dying to discover who Mr. Ebony is.
