AWA Bracket Final
Ole/Arn Anderson w/Gene Anderson defeat Dick Slater/Steve Olsonoski when the
injury Olsonoski suffered at the hands of Ernie Ladd becomes too much to handle.

ropes. Slater makes a valiant effort to fight off The Minnesota Wrecking Crew by
himself but he can't. He submits to Ole's step over arm bar @ 16:00.

for all. Orndorff tries for a Lariat, while MS holds the target. Atlas breaks
free and the wicked clothesline takes out the masked man. Atlas tags in Sugar,
who dropkicks Orndorff over the top rope. Superstar is caught by a missile
dropkick and is pinned @ 15:00.
After the match, Masked Superstar and Orndorff shove each other when Orndorff
blames 'Star for the loss. The National champ takes the high road and leaves.
AWA World Heavyweight Title
Wahoo McDaniel defeats Mr. Wrestling II when II shows some leftover effects from
the beating given him recently by Mad Dog Buzz Sawyer. Wrestling II is just a
tad slow in throwing the millon dollar knee lift. Waho is able to see it coming
and roll with it. He pulls down the top rope and both men tumble to The Omni
floor. McDaniel goes to the ringside table and gets the AWA belt. He clobbers II
with it, getting the DQ from Scrappy McGowan @ 24:03.

into the ring and throws Sweet Brown Sugar into the head of Arn Anderson. Sugar
is out and Ole makes the cover @ 22:44.
Arn is hardly able to stand and has to be helped up by Gene. He and Ole accept
