TONIGHT'S CARD.
Sir Oliver Humperdink is Barred from Ringside
Billy "Superstar" Graham vs. Cowboy Ron Bass
Bass stole Graham's Houston Oilers and Oakland Raiders rings on TV. In a
pre-match slug fest, Graham gets them back and puts them on the announce table.
That ends up being a bad mistake. Later, when the match looks bad for Bass, Kurt
Von Hess comes out. He grabs the rings. He puts the Oilers ring on and passes
the Raiders ring to Graham. Despite the warnings of McGowan, both men start to
pund away at the right eye of Graham. The DQ bell rings @ 8:03. (M)
The heels bail out with the rings, when Ted and Jerry Oates come out with
chairs.
Loser Must Wear A Wig for 30 Days
Tony Atlas vs. "The Total Package" Paul Orndorff
Orndorff brings out a rainbow wig and Atlas has a blonde Marilyn Monroe-type
piece of headwear. Atlas keys in on the back of Orndorff while Atlas hurts the
right arm. When Tony applies his sleeper finisher, he can't cinch down on it.
Orndorff shifts his weight and rams Atlas into a corner. Unfortunately, Nick
Patrick gets caught between the two and goes down, along with Atlas and
Orndorff. The crowd roars in disgust, as a masked man comes in and spears Atlas
when he gets up. The intruder drags Orndorff over and drapes his arm over Atlas.
Patrick recovers and counts Atlas down @ 10:34. (P)
ATLAS HAS TO WEAR THE RAINBOW WIG FOR 30 DAYS
The masked man helps Orndorff to the back.
Mr. Wrestling II vs. Kareem Mohammad w/Sir Oliver Humperdink
Humperdink is back in the corner of The House here. The crowd starts to chant
"Candy", despite an announcement from II "not to do that". Any advantage
Mohammad gets, like punishing the ribs of the masked man, is lost when
Humperdink can't get him to focus through the chants. Kareem gets so upset that
he doesn't realize that Wrestling II is suckering him into a charge into the
corner. II ducks and catches the big man with the million dollar kneelift on the
rebound @ 9:00. (W)
Handicap Match
Roddy Piper vs. George Scott/Dick Slater
The problems that Piper has had with Scott comes to a head here. Piper makes
some "geriatric imitations" of Scott to get the chairman upset enough to start
the match. Scott gets in some stiff rights to Piper's jaw but his adrenalin
betrays him. Piper holds onto the ropes when Scott telegraphs a dropkick. George
comes up grabbing his neck. Piper bangs away, taunting Slater as he does so.
Eventually, Slater gets fed-up with all this and slips down to the floor, where
he laid his Georgia Heavyweight Title belt. He clobbers Piper with it when Roddy
comes close on a criss cross. Scott makes the tag. He falls to the floor.
Slater beats Piper from pillar to post for a good bit. Piper brought his golf
club to ringside and Slater gets in some shots with it. Piper takes some powder
out of his boot. He throws the powder into Slater's face. Scott has made his way
up to the apron. McGowan is checking on him and doesn't see Piper's dirtywork.
Piper poles Slater, who is busted open. He is down.
Piper gets back in the ring and pulls Scott back in. McGowan tries to tell him
to bring Slater back in. Piper just keeps slapping Scott. McGowan tries to be
physical and Rowdy slaps him, too. Piper hits two piledrivers on Scott. McGowan
calls for the bell @ 8:00. ruling this one a NO-CONTEST. (M)
  
Piper is told to back off by Jim Ross and Freddie Miller. A chair being swung by
Slater helps Piper decide to back off all the way to the back. He smiles with a
devious grin. Medical personnel loads Scott onto a stretcher.
Superstar Unmasks or Ernie Ladd Leaves GCW
National Heavyweight Championship
Masked Superstar (C) vs. Ernie Ladd
Superstar hurts Ladd's hand early on, trying to take out Ladd's infamous thumb
move. Later. Ladd has Superstar in a bad way after 'Star misses a clothesline on
the floor, hurting his shoulder by running into a ringpost. Ladd, along with
Humperdink helping by getting in some shots on the right shoulder, negates the
use of the cobra, Ladd gets just a little over confident, though.
Ladd whips Superstar into the ropes and sets for a football tackle. Superstar
moves and Ladd gets caught in the ropes. The champ lets loose with a series of
headbutts to the hand. Humperdink jumps on the apron and gets a butt for his
trouble. Ladd frees himself and tries to use the thumb again. This time, he
winces and grabs the hand in pain. Superstar leg sweeps Ladd off his feet and
applies a stump puller. The hand is hurt more than the shoulder. Ladd taps the
shoulder of Patrick. He surrenders here and has to leave GCW. The bell rings @
13:04. (P)
Humperdink is beside himself and looks toward Ladd. The NFL vet gives him a look
that makes Sir Oliver think twice. Superstar walks down the aisle, title and
masked personna still in his possession.
******INTERMISSION******
AWA World Heavyweight Championship
Wahoo McDaniel (C) vs. Steve Olsonoski
Wahoo comes to the ring and berates Olsonoski, telling him he is real lucky to
get this shot. Wahoo usually only plays with the "big boys". Steve O matches the
champ hold for hold, frustrating Wahoo. Finally, Wahoo charges and is caught by
a leg lariat. He is driven face first into the turnbuckle. The Cheif rolls to
the floor and sees his nose is bleeding. He gets back into the ring and wrestles
a more respectful and aggressive style.
This match goes back and forth. Olsonoski continues to use high impact moves,
centering on Wahoo's face. Wahoo chops Steve O's chest beet red, hurting his
breathing. Late, Olsonoski catches Wahoo with a powerslam. He goes to the middle
rope for a double axe-handle. Wahoo rises, sets, and catches the challenger in
mid-air. He drives him to the mat with a belly-to-belly suplex. Wahoo hooks the
far leg for the pin @ 20:02.
Wahoo points to Olsonoski in respect, as he heads back down the aisle with the
AWA belt.
National Tag Team Title Belt
Ole/Arn Anderson vs. Jack/Jerry Brisco (C)
Arn taunts the hurting Jerry Brisco before the match. After some pleading by
Jerry, Jack lets him start the match. He hurts Ole's right knee. Arn is able to
hit Jerry in the head, eventually, aggravating the injury suffered at the hands
of Jesse Ventura and Adrian Adonis. Arn runs the back of Jerry's head into all
four ringposts. Then, he and Arn start in on the right arm.
Jack comes in several times, only making the situation worse. Finally, Jerry
ducks a flying body press by Arn and tumbles to the corner to tag Jack. Jerry
lies face first on the apron for several minutes. Jack cleans house, throwing
both men to the floor. Ole distracts Jack, allowing Arn to come in from the
other side. He knees Jack in the back. Jack has some periods of success but
being on his own wears him out. Jerry gets in a blind tag while Jack is with
Arn. Arn pounds on Jerry, toying with him. How many times will Arn have to learn
the hard way that you don't ever take a Brisco lightly? After grandstanding, he
goes in for a gordbuster. Jerry has recevered enough to shift his weight and
come down behind the younger Anderson. He hooks the shoulders for a backslide
and a pin @ 27:03.
After blocking off Ole, Jack pulls Jerry to safety. Ole and Arn have a look of
frustration on their faces, as the PA announcer wishes the crowd "Happy
Holidays".
