Match 1 (non-title): NWA American tag team champions King Kong Bundy & “Wild” Bill Irwin (w/ Arman Hussein) versus Al Madril & Jose Lothario

After the match, Hussein enters the ring only to get caught by Madril.

Following a commercial break, Mercer interviews Irwin and Bundy with Hussein. While Irwin cuts a promo on Kevin, Bundy runs down McGraw.

Match 4 (non-title): All-Asia champion Great Kabuki (w/ Gary Hart) versus Bugsy McGraw

Highlights:

Rating: *½

Summary: Too many rest holds for my taste. Blech!

Following a commercial break, Mercer interviews a frustrated McGraw who’s determined to get Kabuki with Hart handcuffed to the top rope.
