Mad Dog Vachon scores a win over
2 Cold Scorpio, winning with a Mad Dog Pounce. Mad Dog had the match won with the PILEDRIVER but pulled Scorpio up for another PILEDRIVER. After an admonishment by the referee, Mad Dog ended it w/ a MDP.
Afterwards,
The Patriot got in Mad Dog's face about his unnecessary tactics.
Butcher Vachon hit the ring and it tuned into a 2-on-1 beatdown, finishing w/ Butcher hitting Patriot w/ the HANGMAN before security is able to pull Patriot to safety. Look for the Vachon vs Scorpio/Patriot feud to really heat up now.
---In a hard-hitting match,
King Kong Bundy def.
Steve Williams w/ the AVALANCHE (3-count). This match went to the floor several times as the referee let them battle it out. The last time it went to the floor, Steve Williams missed an OKLAHOMA STAMPEDE and crashed into the ring post. Bundy followed by hitting a running ring post splash on Williams that led to the finish.

Tony Atlas/Bob Roop def.
Dan Spivey/The Warlord by DISQUALIFICATION after Atlas had the Warlord up for the PRESS SLAM & SPLASH, Spivey blasts Atlas across the lower back with a chair. The heels kept up their attack as Spivey drops Roop w/ the POWERBOMB as Warlord works over Atlas' back w/ Falling Forearm Smashes. Finally, Tony is able to rally back and chases the heels from the ring w/ the chair they brought into the match.

Blackjack Mulligan,
Tommy Rich, &
Ted Dibiase have been engaged in a 3-way feud since Atlanta joined the WWA six weeks ago. Tonight, they meet in the
Main Event in a
Triple Threat Elimination match w/ the
National Championship at stake as well.
The first elimination sees Blackjack Mulligan pounding on Ted Dibiase, however, Tommy hits the THESZ PRESS on Mulligan to eliminate the reigning champion!!
The second fall sees Dibiase use the LOADED GLOVE several times but Tommy was able to get a shoulder up. Later in the fall, Tommy actually rips the glove off of Dibiase's hand, exposing the foreign object sewn into the glove!! Tommy hauls a distracted Dibiase up for a Piledriver before locking Ted in the SLEEPER for the finish.
The crowd explodes as Tommy is declared the winner and handed the
National Championship!!
