The Australians and Zeigfreid Stanke w/Steve Rackman vs. Kevin Sullivan, Ric Drasin and Red Bastein This will be a wild one.

Sullivan counters with some very good scientific skills. Kevin tags in Drasin and the muscular youngster takes over. He slams Stanke and Zeigfreid wants none of this and tags in Larry O'Dea. O'Dea whips Drasin into the ropes and backdrops him. Larry goes for the cover, but Drasin kicks out. He tags in Bastein and the veteran from Texas goes to work.

Southern Championship
The Spoiler (Champion) w/Sir Oliver Humperdink vs. Eddie Graham This what the people came to see. The masked man has held the belt since defeating Austin Idol in Tampa. Eddie Graham has been hot on his trail, and the veteran has come within inches of winning the title. The bell rings and the Champion goes to work. The Spoiler seems to want to end things early. He backs Graham in the corner and begins to choke him. Referee Stu Swartz counts, but Spoiler breaks at four each time. Things look bad for Eddie. Graham regroups and goes to work. He fires off right and lefts. Eddie Graham has the hardest punch in wrestling and the Spoiler is finding out first hand. Eddie whips the Spoiler into the corner and hiptosses him to the mat. He goes for the figure four, but the Spoiler gets to the ropes. He takes to the floor to confer with Humperdink, but Graham follows him. They begin to brawl on the floor. It's a real knock-down-drag-out affair. Swartz is counting. Instinctively, Graham slides back in the ring. He beats the Spoiler by a second. Swartz's count reaches 20 and he calls for the bell. Graham has won by count out, but the Spoiler retains the Southern Title.
