National Television Title
Steve Olsonoski vs. Rip Rogers ©
Rogers is the member of the Midnight Express defending the TV belt tonight. As the clock runs down, Rogers seems EXTRA SLOW getting back in the ring. Olsonoski is intense, trying to motivate Rogers back in. A flying clothesline from Steve O is not quite enough, with the bell ringing at the 15-minute arena time limit. The match is A DRAW.
Tony Atlas vs. Jim Duggan w/James J. Dillon
Atlas has Duggan trapped in a sleeper for what seems like the winning move. Dillon grabs at Duggan’s foot and put it across the bottom rope. Atlas is livid and argues with the manager. Duggan shakes off the effects of the sleeper and catches Atlas with a spear when he turns around. Dillon pushes Tony’s foot off the ropes this time on the cover, cementing his charge’s victory @ 17:37.
Atlas goes after the cheating pair after the match. Dillon and Duggan barely escape the ring area.
******INTERMISSION******
National tag team Titles
Jack/Jerry Brisco vs. The Long Riders (Cowboy Ron Bass/Black Bart) w/Sir Oliver Humperdink
This match is very competitive with both Jerry and Bart getting their right knees worked on. Bart tries to work through the pain but the injury proves to be too much. Bart is slow getting to the top turnbuckle. Jack moves away from the Texas Compactor and Bart hits hard. Brisco applies a figure four for the win @ 21:00.
After the match, Bass takes “Betsy” out of the corner and slams both Jack and Jerry with the bull whip handle. Bart recovers and helps put Jack in the ropes. Then, both Riders lift Jerry into a double suplex. The Briscos are helpless when Hump’s men leave the ring.
