For those unaware, Misty Blue was portrayed by Diane Simmes.
Both Blue and Dallas were trained by Killer Kowalski, and this was the fourth match in each woman’s career.

We revisit the 8/3 episode where Gary Hart’s gang decimated Parsons. Next, we revisit the 8/17 episode when Bruiser Brody saved Parsons’ bacon from being fried by Hart’s gang. Afterward, Parsons works out and cuts a promo on them. “It bees that way sometime.”

From Baylor University Medical Center, Mercer updates us on Mike Von Erich’s condition, During a press conference, Fritz, Doris, Kerry (w/ daughter Hollie), and Kevin Von Erich sit alongside Dr. Michael Emmett and Dr. William Sutker. According to Sutker, Mike’s dealing with “some kidney damage, high fever, and…respiratory problems.” Dr. Emmett relates Mike’s kidney problems to “low blood pressure.” Currently, Mike is undergoing dialysis to correct the issue.

As Sutker continued, he mentions the “dark hours” when Mike was critically ill and may not have made it. However, due to his physical condition, Mike has improved from “critical” to “serious” condition. Kevin chimes in with the rather unfathomable statistic that Mike’s temperature “soared to 107°.” Fortunately, the human body can survive up to a temperature of 108°.

Afterward, Kerry believes a miracle happened and shows his appreciation for WCCW’s Middle East fans. Doris speaks on Mike’s behalf to tell his fans that he loves them. Fritz arrives to thank the doctors and vows for Mike’s return no matter how long it may take.

HOT TAKE: Anyone who has been given the scare of death shouldn’t be putting his or her body at risk. Mike should have retired despite Fritz’ wishes. It would have helped his mental, physical, and psychological health while dealing with the effects of the scare.

Fortunately for all involved, the golden scissors fall out of the ring and stick into the wooden floor harming no one. Adams tries to hammer Adias with the bell hammer, but Adias steals it away from him.

Conclusion: The main event acted like a delicious appetizer for the upcoming double hair match at the Cotton Bowl. Also, Parsons appears ready to handle the challenge of Hart’s gang.

On another note, the real meat and potatoes of the episode was the update on Mike Von Erich’s condition and Fritz’s threat to return him to the ring when healthy. I realize that promoters as well as fathers need to remain optimistic in these situations, but this news doesn't sit well with me.
