WCW Television Title First Round
1. Ilio DiPaolo surprised Adrian Street with a rope climb takeover. Street took advantage of a missed turnbuckle charge but DiPaolo managed to take control by avoiding Miss Linda's interference. She accidentally hit Street with her purse. Though she managed to get Street's foot on the ropes after DiPaolo's Airplane Spin, DiPaolo simply went to the other side, did the headlock takeover and then bridged into a pin as Street was unable to kick out.

2. Buddy Rose squashed Val Venis with Bombs Away. Venis couldn't get it going, and Rose took an easy win. He then announced to the crowd that this was the first step on his way to the TV Title.

3. Bill Dundee knocked off "Cowboy" Bob Orton with the Superstar Bomb. This was going back and forth with no real advantage until Dundee caught Orton off the ropes, splashed him and then delivered his finisher for the three count.

4. One Man Gang finished off Red Bastien but it took 3 747 Splashes to do it. He delivered the first one off the ropes but Bastien kicked out. He nailed a second and Bastien got his foot on the ropes. Bastien made a comeback and it required the aid of the floor for Gang to get advantage. It was looking like it could go either way, but Gang finally knocked him flat with a running corner splash then climbed to the top and hit his splash one more time to win.

Tag Title Tournament
5. The Fabulous Kangaroos fought off a game Crusaders to win with the Boomerang as Costello pinned Lyons. Lyons got off to a hot start and took a couple near falls.

From there Heffernan wore Lyons down with his Toe Hold before the Kangaroos used their finisher to win.

6. The Killer Bees put away The Bolsheviks when Brunzell locked Volkoff into a sleeper for the win. It looked like The Bolsheviks were going to win it by thrashing Brunzell, but he managed to tag out.

WCW Heavweight Title Tournament
7. King Kong Bundy shocked everyone by pinning Rikidozan with the five count after the Avalanche. It seemed like Riki just couldn't keep the big man off his feet (only one down for Bundy the entire match) and eventually Bundy wore him down and though Dozan power kicked out of one Avalanche, a second was too much.

8. In a wild bloody brawl, Bruiser Brody dropped The Crusher with the Jumping Knee Drop. Both guys had plenty of chances to win, but Brody took control on the floor, hit a powerful forearm from the top and then dropped the knee to score the three count.

9. Giant Baba came back from a nearfall to score the win with the Neckbreaker Drop. After Baba made a mistake, George nearly took it with a rolling hiplock and then a quick small package with the tights. In the end, Baba used a bear hug to set up the Neckbreaker Drop to win.

10. In the final match, Ted DiBiase tried to bribe William Muldoon who simply swatted the money out of his hands. DiBiase warned Muldoon he was making a mistake. Muldoon took it to DiBiase though and scored the win with a flying head mare.
