1)      The masked Spoiler defeats Don Ross with the claw hold.
 
2)      “Mr. Ebony” Tom Jones defeats Ken Dillenger with a swinging full nelson to get the submission victory.
 
3)      Mighty Ursa defeats Big Bill Howard with a bear hug. Ursa looks very powerful.
 
4)      Dutch Mantell defeats the Spider in a brutal taped fist match after grabbing  
what appeared to be a roll of dollar coins and drilling the Spider right between the eyes. After the pin fall, Mantell starts ripping at the mask of the Spider, almost prying off the mask before the Miser snaps Mantell’s own whip close by and getting the Dutchman’s attention shifted away.  
 
5)      Bobby Jaggers and Tito Montez defeat the Medics in a match that sees Tito and Bobby get the majority of the offense, ending in Tito taking down Medic #1 with a flying head scissors and getting the 1-2-3.  
 
6)      In an impressive display of strength, George Welles defeats Sugar Bear Harris with a mighty football tackle that sent the big bear out to the floor. Harris was so stunned that he couldn’t beat referee Tommy Morton’s ten count. Harris wasn’t body slammed, but for a change fails to come away with the win.
 
7)      Tommy Gilbert defeats Black Angus Campbell with a big vertical suplex. The match was marred by the arrival of the Scottish Giant, who mugged Gilbert until both Jackie Fargo and Kelly Kiniski came ringside to lend support.
 
8)      North American Tag Team Champions Jim Breaks and Marc Rocco defeat Tommy Rich and Ricky Fields to retain the NACW belts. Rocco finished off Fields with a diving headbutt and a bridging suplex for the pin.
 
9)      Outlaw Ron Bass defeats Jerry “the King” Lawler after Ron Garvin comes ringside and tells referee Tommy Morton that Lawler had used a foreign object to bust open Bass. This allowed Bass to roll up Lawler from behind and get his feet on the ropes for extra leverage for the 1-2-3. After the match, Lawler and Garvin are in each other’s face and finally it all flies apart with Ronnie and Jerry trading lefts and rights until officials finally get between the two men.

The Brits against Rich and Fields would have been a great, great match. I think Tommy and Ricky are a great team and could upset the champions next time they come to Memphis.
 
The main event was great. I really like the tension exploding between Ron Garvin and The King, those two will give us some great matches in the future! I think there might have been some slight confusion about the referee though. I believe the referee in the main event you were detailing was Paul Morton, not Tommy Morton. I may be wrong, but I don't remember a referee by that name. Paul is Ricky Morton's dad and was a referee in TN. for years.
 
The feud that really has captured my attention is Spider vs. Mantell. These are two great youngsters who are really lighting things up when they get together. I could watch those two go at it every night of the week!
