KERRY VON ERICH UPDATE: From Baylor Medical Center in Dallas, Dr. William Sutker, who had previously helped to save Mike’s life, sits with Kerry. It’s been three weeks since his motorcycle accident, and Kerry’s foot has been saved. Soon, Kerry plans to leave the hospital, and Sutker continues to be amazed at the recovery times for the Von Erichs.

Kerry thanks everybody and their brother for the prayers and support while mentioning Mike’s return at the July 4 spectacular. With the rest of his family at “full speed,” Kerry believes his in-ring return will be three months. To quote Kerry: “Motorcycles are silly. I’ll stay away from ‘em.”

How consanguineal! It’s a battle of second-generation wrestlers.

Before Borne’s lights went dim, “Mad Dog” Buzz Sawyer jumped into the ring to attack Kevin.
As a result, Kevin won by DQ at 7:04.

Summary: If Borne didn’t know that WCWA was a snug territory, he learned it in this match. Sawyer makes his move from the UWF to World Class and makes a big splash so to speak.

Following the match, Sawyer and Borne double-team Kevin. They administer a double shoulder breaker, and Matt holds Kevin prone on the mat. Upon mounting the top turnbuckle, Sawyer launches a literal flying splash onto Kevin. Sawyer grabs the microphone and calls himself “the new modern-day warrior.”

Conclusion: It appears that Kevin has a new adversary in Sawyer. I’m sure everybody and their brother wishes Kerry had made the motorcycle comment prior to his accident.

In other matches, Rude and Adams squared off one more time, but Pringle loused up the ending. Kabuki, as you’d expect, made him pay for it.

Next week, Brody, Lance, and Simpson square off against ~~Mulligan~~ Borne, Sawyer, and Kabuki! Hopefully, there’ll be some fireworks from the July 4 show too.
