WWF TAG TITLE MATCH:
 
TENRYU/SAITO w/SKANDOR AKBAR vs. RICK MCGRAW/DINO BRAVO
Back and forth match, Rick is not that out of his element and even hits some good offensive maneuvers. Bravo is solid as he works over both of his foes. But the Japanese wrestlers take over and really work over Mcgraw. They keep him from tagging out and finally, Saito hits a suplex for the win.  
After the match, both of Akbar’s men jump Bravo and tie him up in the ropes. They get Rick on his feet and held him while Akbar pulled his lit cigar out from his mouth, Akbar jams the cigar into the eye socket of Rick and he writhes in pain. They then do it to the other eye and leave him lying in the ring. Bravo gets out of the ropes and goes over to the fallen Mcgraw and tries to tend to him as medical personel come out to the ring.
 
WWF IC TITLE MATCH:
 
PEDRO MORALES vs. GEORGE STEELE w/LOU ALBANO
 
Pedro is jumped from behind in the beginning, Steele will not let up as he really works over Pedro, he is not looking to pin him but hurt him, he uses foreign objects to get Pedro good and hurt. But Pedro will not stay down, he makes his comeback and really works over George. He hits a big atomic drop and goes for the pin. Killer Khan comes out and breaks up the pin attempt, but Rocky Johnson comes out to help Pedro chase them from the ring.
 
Vince and Bruno talk about Skandor Akbar and his actions on Rick Mcgraw. Bruno is sick by it and vows that if he was not dealing with Heenan he would go after Akbar himself. Vince talks about how they will hear  from Dino Bravo right here on the program next week and they will check on the condition of Rick Mcgraw. They sign off and show goes to black.
 
 
 

Great TV!  Johnson picking Allen as his partner has me worried...Pedro will have his hands full with Muraco...This is a make or break match for Bruno Jr....I believe that Martel/Garea are the team to beat here...Hennig is looking good...The cigar attack on McGraw was brutal, what will Bravo do about it?  Pedro has had Albano's goons beaten several times, but interference is ruining it...Still wondering who will win the battle for DiBiase...Great work!
