Summary: If you’re a fan of today’s female wrestling, give these two women a big thank you for their efforts. The wrestling they performed may be extremely different from today’s product, but a concept like female wrestling needs to build its foundation and keep constructing, no?

Great to see one of the biggest babyfaces from Mid-South in WCCW. In fact, the Dallas faithful was HOT for this match.

Although Friday tried to distract referee David Manning, JYD applied a sleeper to Kamala.
On the other hand, Kamala escaped and applied his own rest hold.
When Kamala delivered a splash, he only got 2 thanks to a HUGE kick-out by JYD.
Akbar then tripped JYD coming off the ropes, but JYD rebounded with a clothesline to Kamala.
As Akbar got up on the apron, JYD unceremoniously dumped him into the ring.
Friday also entered the ring, but JYD nailed him.
After JYD turned his attention to Akbar, Manning called for the bell.
JYD won by DQ.

After the match, Kamala and Akbar try to double-team JYD, but heel miscommunication ensues. JYD then nails Kamala sending him over the top rope to the floor.

Match 4: “Gentleman” Chris Adams & Johnny Mantell versus Michaels Hayes & Terry “Bam Bam” Gordy

As Hayes baited Adams and Mantell to chase him, Gordy snuck up behind Mantell and applied an oriental spike.
Adams saved Mantell from certain doom, yet Mantell laid injured on the floor.
With the option of forfeit or handicap, Adams chose handicap.

He then backdropped Hayes who scampered back to the heel corner in fear.
When Hayes delivered a back elbow, Kevin came to ringside in his street clothes.

While Gordy suplexed Adams for 2, Kevin removed his shirt in order to join Adams.
Kevin tagged in to a LOUD pop and supplied the Freebirds with a double noggin knocker.
After he hooked a sunset flip, Kevin pinned Hayes.
Kevin and Adams won.

Summary: Kevin saves the day replacing Mantell, and the babyfaces achieve victory much to the delight of the Dallas faithful.

Before the show ends, Mercer interviews the Freebirds in the ring. Gordy cuts a promo on Kevin for trying to break his thumb last week. Methinks someone’s gonna get a whuppin’.

Conclusion: Although the star power of the show was quite strong, the delivery broke under its own weight. If you’ve never seen Princess Victoria in the ring, then check it out. Otherwise, skip it. What are your thoughts, Mama?
