International Championship Wrestling Live Monday October 8th 1982 National Guard Armoury Elizabethtown, Kentucky UNITED STATES TAG TEAM TITLE TOURNAMENT ~~ (Referee: Sam Diamond): Semi-Finals: Gypsy Joe & Tojo Yamamoto Vs Rick Connors & Ron Sexton Rick Connors and Ron Sexton do not stand a chance as Joe and Yamamoto just tear in to them. Referee Sam Diamond has a hard time keeping the two wild men in check, threatening to disqualify them, but still backing away when confronted. The match ends after both Connors & Sexton are bleeding profusely and after Joe drops a knee from the top rope to Sexton’s head. WINNERS: GYPSY JOE & TOJO YAMAMOTO ADVANCE ******** ~~ (Referee: Jim Davis): Semi-Finals: Lanny Poffo & George Weingroff Vs The Boogie Woogie Men (Danny Fargo & Johnny Reeves) Fargo & Reeves are very cocky as they come to the ring to the tune of “We Got The Beat” From the Go-Go’s, dancing horribly on their way to the ring. The fans are booing loudly as the Boogie Woogie Men get in to the ring. Cheers start as Lanny Poffo & George Weingroff make their way down to the ring to the tune of “You Got Another Thing Coming” from Judas Priest. Once in the ring, Fargo and Reeves try to jump Poffo & Weingroff but fail as Lanny & George are ready. Some fists fly and a dropkick each, knocks Fargo and Reeves outside of the ring to recoup. It does not last long as Weingroff and Poffo climb the ropes, one in each corner, and leap off, taking down Fargo and Reeves. Weingroff throws Reeves inside the ring as the bell finally rings. Poffo climbs and delivers a moonsault style bodysplash from the top rope for the pin in a very quick fashion. WINNERS: LANNY POFFO & GEORGE WEINGROFF ADVANCE ******** ~~ (Referee: Emmit Couch): Mark Fleming Vs Ben Alexander Fleming and Alexander lock up with Fleming getting the upper hand with an arm drag turned in to an armbar. Holding down Alexander, Fleming does a leg trip and wraps up Alexander in a headlock. Getting to a standing position, but still in the headlock, Alexander manages to throw Fleming off and in to the ropes. That turns out to be a bad thing because on the rebound, Fleming delivers a Thesz Press and gets the win. WINNER: MARK FLEMING ******** ~~ (Referee: George Hill): Main Event: Finals for the U.S. Tag Team Titles: Lanny Poffo & George Weingroff Vs Gypsy Joe & Tojo Yamamoto Yamamoto & Joe are waiting in the ring for Poffo and Weingroff to get in. On their way to the ring however, Lanny & George are attacked by The Boogie Woogie Men. As Poffo & Weingroff hold them off, Tojo and Gypsy Joe take this time to attack Lanny & George as well. Busting open George and Lanny, Joe and Yamamoto get Weingroff in the ring. Valiantly Weingroff tries to battle back and kick out, but at this point, the damage has been done. With no choice but to give up to a stomach vice from Tojo, Weingroff fights but eventually succumbs as Gypsy Joe knocks a bloody Poffo off the ring apron.
