Conclusion: Despite the lack of concrete information, WCWA was going out of its way to appear as a national promotion with stopovers in Chicago and New Orleans. Obviously, the effect of the WWF machine as well as the downturn of local business due to the oil crash.

On the bright side, Adams looked sharp despite his partner’s misfortune. Kevin made the kids and women scream in glee with his defeat of Brooks.

Next week, Kevin battles Sawyer while Bruiser Brody and Steve Simpson square off against Brooks and Grappler II. Also, some ham’n’egger in face paint makes his Dallas debut.
