VP of Operations, Buddy Rogers comes out and says he can okay a match with Adonis and Ventura for the belts, but says he cannot okay Jerry to wrestle. Jerry complains but Rogers offers a solution.

Rogers makes his count while, Bob’s shoulders are down…1...Patera holds on….2…Bob shifts his weight and the combatant’s legs start to separate…THREE! Both men break apart!

BREAK 2 =====0000000000==================
Manny Fernandez comes out and he is hot about what happened in his match for the AWA World Title versus Wahoo McDaniel. Roger Kent throws it to a VTR of what Manny is talking about.
Neither man was able to gain much of an advantage until beleaguered referee Jimmy Bunning was knocked down in a collision with Wahoo. Fernandez decided to take advantage of the situation and piledrive McDaniel to the mat. Bunning still on the mat not facing the action, as Manny taunted the fallen champion then went outside the ring to climb the turnbuckles. As Fernandez is running his mouth an man in Milwaukee Brewers Baseball cap and a cigar in his mouth made his way down to ringside. With the referee still down and Wahoo still on the mat, Fernandez made it to the top of the turnbuckles. As he was about to leap off, the man in the baseball cap, got up on the ring apron and pushed Fernandez off to the side. Manny landed groin first hard on the top rope, then fell into the ring. Wahoo, bleeding and on his knees crawled over to his injured opponent and made the cover as Bunning made a very weak three count at 19:24.
The man in the Brewers’ cap then grabbed the microphone as the crowd cheered and yelled, “How about dat!”
Manny yells: “That was Crusher interfering in my match!”
Kent responds: “Well the film is grainy.”
Manny: “Grainy!!!!????? How many people do you know would wear a Milwaukee Brewers cap in the middle of rabid Cubs and Whitesox land and get away with it? That old fool cost me the world title!”
Kent: “Well….”
Manny: “Well what, Kent? Let me tell you something. Wahoo I am not finished with you and I will be world champion because I am tougher and meaner than you. And as far as you are concerned Crusher, I will show the world AGAIN, that I am tougher than you!”

BREAK 3 =========00000==================
Roger Kent is still joined by Buddy Rogers as they are joined by American Television Champion Larry Zbyszko and his manager Johnny Valiant. Zbyszko and Valiant are demanding LeRoy Brown be banned for his actions at the Night of Champions.
Kent shows a VTR or what happened: Zbyszko wins by disqualification at 9:45 when Brown gets tired of Larry’s stalling and eventually ties him in the ring ropes. Leroy pounds the trapped Zbyszko bloody, ignoring the referee’s warnings and gets disqualified as a result.
Zbyszko and Valiant are ranting and raving when Leroy Brown comes out and Rogers immediately gets between them. Brown says he has a tape from AWA President Verne Gagne that he thinks everyone needs to see.
Verne Gagne on tape from Minneapolis TV station KMSP with the AWA Logo in the background: “It’s great to be on television in the great AWA Midwest, er…I mean Heartland and Windy City Championship Wrestling. There has been a load of controversy regarding Larry Zbyszko and Leroy Brown over the prestigious American Television Title. I feel it is in the best interest of the AWA as a whole to make a determination as to where we go from here. I feel in the effort to be fair, the AWA will allow the current champion, Larry Zbyszko, to choose what type of match he wants against Leroy. His options are a Lumberjack Match, a Strap Match, or a Cage Match. Mr. Brown has the option of what city he wants the match to take place, though I am pretty sure what city he will want to pick. And as for referee, I along with other members of the AWA will decide that. Thank you and look forward to see the wonderful fans at the matches soon!”
Larry Zbyszko is the first to mouth off, but obviously Valiant isn’t happy and Rogers looks a little miffed.
Zybszko: “I don’t like none of the options! “
Brown: “No one cares what you like, Boy! Choose now!”
Larry: “I am not intimidate by you Brown! I will choose when I am good and ready!”
Brown: “You better choose soon, Lar-ree! You know, I choose Chi-Town to be the place for the match!”
Rogers: “Now hold on, everybody. I had no knowledge of this tape or the AWA getting involved in something that should be handled here on the local level. Believe me, I will be looking into this.”
Brown: “Well Rogers, you look into whatever you want to. I have the word of the President of the AWA and I want my shot!”
With that Brown leaves for the ring.
MATCH 4 – LEROY BROWN def BILL WHITE in 8:32 in a brutal fight of a match.
Heartland Champion Precious Paul Ellering and his Doomsday team of Animal and Konga come out. Ellering says, “Greg Gagne can want all he wants but he is no match for the superior mind of the Precious One! I, the Heartland Heavyweight Champion, and leader of the greatest tag team known to mankind are here to dominate professional wrestling." He says Doomsday will beat Steve Williams and Bobby Jaggers for the USA Tag Team titles and then they will win the AWA World Tag Team Titles no matter who is holding the belts.
BREAK 4 ==============00000=================
Jack and Jerry Brisco along with Jules Strongbow come out. Jack says “It’s time to get down to business!” With that the three go to the ring as the crowd boos the arrival of the new AWA World Tag Team Champions Adrian Adonis and Jesse Ventura with their manager, Johnny Valiant.

This match is all Brisco and Strongbow from the start. The champs look a bit slow and off their game as Jack and Jules look like a well-oiled machine. Neither Adonis nor Ventura can provide much offense as the crowd is hyped at the thought of a title change. After 8 minutes of action, Johnny Valiant hits Jules with his walking stick right infront of the referee. Jules wasn’t only momentarily hurt, if at all, by this but the referee disqualified Adonis and Ventura for the infraction at 8:32.
This doesn’t stop the action as Jerry grabs Valiant and attacks him while Jack goes after Adonis and Strongbow clears Ventura out of the ring. Ken Patera and Larry Zbyszko rush the ring but are soon met by Leroy Brown and Bob Backlund.
A ten man chaotic scene engulfs ringside as the heels and faces battle. Somehow, Jerry Brisco and Johnny Valiant end up in the ring.

VTR from Chicago Dec 2nd Night of Champions: At the 25minute mark, it was Ventura capturing Jerry in the figure four leglock. Valiant faked an entry into the ring, that distracted Jack. Adonis then climbed onto the second rope and did a splash onto the legs of Ventura and Jerry. Jack and the referee turned to see what had happened but Adonis was already out of the ring, and the younger Brisco was in a world of hurt. Brisco tried to attack Adonis but the referee, Jimmy Bunning, pulled him away. Once, Jack was out of the ring, Ventura yelled for Brisco to submit, but Jerry wouldn’t do it.
Finally, Ventura released the hold and tagged in Adonis who grabbed the injured leg and turned Jerry over in a half crab. At 31:12, Jerry Brisco had more pain then he could bear and submitted under the pressure of Adonis’s half crab. Adonis immediately released the hold and the ring announcer made the announcement: “At 31 minutes and 12 seconds, Jerry Brisco submitted the referee, James Bunning has awarded the match to the NEW AWA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, ADRIAN ADONIS AND JESSE VENTURA.
