Match 3 (Texas death match): Scott Casey (w/ Sunshine) versus “Hollywood” John Tatum (w/ Missy Hyatt)

Instead of a ten-count finish, the winner will be the one who exits the cage first, and the valets remain within the cage.
Missy’s outfit was a sight to behold.

Summary: The men battled, the women played their roles perfectly, and a decent story was told.

After the match, Sunshine tosses Missy down to the mat, and a CATFIGHT erupts. The fur flies, and a wardrobe malfunction by Sunshine gets safeguarded from innocent eyes.

As Kabuki enters the ring, he annihilates both Tatum and Casey before Sunshine tries but fails. Sunshine escapes Kabuki’s grasp and stumbles out of the cage as Kabuki and Casey are left inside.

Casey feeds Kabuki an atomic drop, but Kabuki no-sells it and blasts him. When he deals Casey a thrust kick, Kabuki decimates Hazzard. Kabuki rams him into the cage, and Casey is BUSTED OPEN. In street clothes, Johnny Mantell comes to Casey’s rescue, but Kabuki eliminates him.

Match 4 for the vacant NWA American tag team titles (Texas tornado, cage): Kerry & Kevin Von Erich versus the Dynamic Duo

Both ~~“Iceman” King Parsons~~ Brian Adias and Terry “Bam Bam” Gordy were special guest referees for this match.
As you recall from last week, Rude PLANTED Parsons on the concrete floor, so he wasn’t available.
The Dallas faithful SANG “Bal-die” at the Dynamic Duo. It resonated throughout Reunion Arena.

Nailing Kerry down near Waxahachie, Adams catapulted him into the cage.
Hernandez dealt Kevin a back elbow, and Adams trapped Kerry in an inside cradle.
Neither Adias nor Gordy noticed as they focused their attention on Kevin and Adams. That’s contradictory to having two referees.

Hernandez headbutted Kerry, and Adams made the cover and scored the pin at 7:15.
WE HAVE NEW CHAMPIONS!

Summary: While the Von Erichs won the battle of mask removal, they lost the war of the tag team titles thanks to chicanery by Hernandez.

After the match, Lance approaches ringside and keeps Adams at bay on the concrete floor. Meanwhile, Kerry and Kevin surround Hernandez and remove his mask thanks to a dropkick by Kevin. Hernandez also has a well-kept crew cut; however, the Dynamic Duo flees with their belts.

Before the show leaves the air, Mercer notes that the match between Tatum/Hyatt and Casey/Sunshine at the Christmas spectacular will be a mixed tag match.

Conclusion: The main event truly epitomized what’s great about WCCW. Although the heroes didn’t prevail in the end, they got a bit of revenge on the Dynamic Duo. In addition, a cage match with a catfight sprinkled on top was tremendously entertaining but leaving the fans wanting more. Adias retained his title while bringing Victory up to his level despite Gang and Kamala stinking up the arena. Get all this!
