Moves and counter moves, back and forth, to and fro! Young Blanchard really shows that he has come a long way by giving everything he's got to Jerry Brisco in this one. At one point Brisco tries a pinfall while holding onto Blanchard's trunks but he manages to escape before three. Johnny Weaver gets on the ring apron to complain to Sonny Fargo as Brisco runs over and clobbers him!

These two teams don't like anybody and it sure showed in this epic fight! The tough guys from Florida show why they're one of the top teams in the NWA by giving the Anderson's all they could handle. In the end with all four men fighting outside Referee Sonny Fargo has no choice but to count both teams out @26:49 . . 10 Minute Intermission . . 7th Match: "Special Grudge Match" "Nature Boy" Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat After over a month of build-up the one-on-one contest between these two is finally here and for the sold out Hampton Coliseum it was well worth the wait! These two put on a clinic going back and forth matching move for move. The crowd was on their feet for the entire contest chanting "Ricky......Ricky!" throughout! Steamboat catches Flair with a double thrust off the ropes and then picks him up and bodyslams him. He then climbs to the top rope with the 13,700 fans in attendance all behind him........as Flair gets to his feet and turns around........Steamboat comes off...........BOOOOOOM!!! Steamboat hits hard on the mat as Flair has quickly fell out of the way!!! The crowd grows silent as Flair struggles to his feet and makes it over to young Steamboat to drop an elbow on him........double hook.......1.....2......3!!!! Flair gets the pinfall to win the battle......but he certainly hasn't won the war @29:57 . . 8th Match: NWA World Heavyweight Championship Terry Funk vs. U.S. Heavyweight Champion Masked Superstar w/Professor Malenko "Special Referee" Wahoo McDaniel Funk is not to keen on the idea of Wahoo as the special referee in this one! He has words with Wahoo before the bout even begins! Finally, Wahoo gets both men checked and calls for the bell as these two lock up! The match goes back and forth during most of the contest with neither man really gaining a distinct advantage until Malenko gets on the apron to argue a call with Wahoo and he chops him off the apron to the floor! This of course sets Superstar off who hits Wahoo and the Chief fights back chopping him twice to the head and as he falls backwards Funk is there to capitalize and rolls Superstar up for the 1,2,3 @31:33! Superstar is disgusted and grabs up Malenko and the two quickly head to the back as Wahoo gets the World Title to give to Funk........Wahoo looks down at the title then back at Funk.......the two exchange some words and Wahoo hands over the title..........as he turns to leave the ring Funk nails him from behind with the title!!!!! The crowd is going nuts as Funk grabs Wahoo up and piledrives him hard into the mat!! As the crowd rains down the boos Funk spat on Wahoo and left the ring under tight security!!
