Match Highlights:
The show opened with ladies tag team action as former Ring Angels champion Ida Mae Martinez teamed with newcomer Karen Q to take on the powerful April Hunter and her partner Lacey. Hunter was on the defensive early and often but survived both the Dropkick by Martinez and the Spring Roll by Karen Q. Hunter powered her way back into it delivering moves like the spinning back breaker and German suplex. Lacey was very aggressive during her time in, particularly looking strong against the veteran Martinez. It was Martinez who won it, though, as she caught Hunter with a Flying Head Scissors and cradled her legs for the pin.
Manager Bobby “The Brain” Heenan entered the ring and grabbed the mic away from ring announcer Gary Michael Cappetta. Heenan said that it was time for the Heenan Family to expand and he introduced his latest charge, the “King of Wrestling” Bobby Shane. It was Shane going up against popular ASW star Jim Powers, a New York native who had the crowd on his side. That support did little to help Powers, however, as Shane roughed him up pretty good before hitting a Bulldog for the pin. Heenan was ecstatic over the victory by “The King” and said that the addition of “royalty” is exactly what the Heenan Family needed.
The rejuvenated Killer Bees (B. Brian Blair & Jim Brunzell) took on the ASW combination of “Pretty Boy” Larry Sharpe & “Duke of Dorchester” Pete Doherty. This was Blair’s return to action after being injured by the now departed “Punishment” Damien Martinez who left the CWA to sign a contract with PCW. He showed some ring rust but also credit Sharpe and Doherty for putting up a good fight. That included Sharpe scoring a near fall on Blair with his Piledriver. Doherty also alertly saved Sharpe from being pinned after a High Flying Dropkick from Brunzell. The Bees turned it on down the stretch and after an airplane spin by Blair on Sharpe they nailed him with the Bee Sting allowing Brunzell to cover him for the pin.
It was a changing of the guard in the Ring Angels division as the double tough Jazz out of New Orleans, LA, defeated Leilani Kai to win the Ring Angels title. Jazz had been hunting down the champion and staked her claim to the title shot by scoring a big win over Mildred Burke at the Seibu Dome in Japan. Kai dominated most of the match and had Jazz in trouble, netting a two count after a butterfly suplex and scoop slam combo. A late counter by Jazz led to her hitting an electric chair facebuster and then lifting Kai up into the B**** Clamp for the submission victory. Kai was dejected over the loss while Jazz angrily grabbed the title belt and held it up in celebration.
Grudge tag team action saw the Valiant Brothers (“Handsome” Jimmy & “Luscious” Johnny Valiant) take on the Dream Team (Brutus Beefcake & Greg “The Hammer” Valentine) who had their manager Abdullah Farouk at ringside. Farouk would play a role in the outcome but unfortunately not in favor of his team. This was a great battle between the two teams with each side scoring a few near falls. The Dream Team looked really good down the stretch before Jimmy countered a backdrop by Valentine with a jumping head ringer. The Valiant’s then connected with the Double Clothesline on Valentine but Farouk broke up the count by distracting the referee. With Johnny tackling Beefcake to the floor, Jimmy rushed Farouk and clotheslined him off the apron before delivering a Fist Drop on the stunned Valentine to score the pin.
The battle of two top brawlers between Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Bruiser Brody did not disappoint. The two traded heavy blows back and forth and had the crowd going wild by the finish. Duggan scored with the Tough Guy clothesline late sending Brody out of the ring. The battle continued at ringside with Brody gaining the upper hand, including giving Duggan a bodyslam on top of the timekeepers table. Brody was relentless back inside delivering a running leg drop for a two count and then blasting Duggan with a Clothesline to score a snake eyes pin. A wild scene unfolded post-match as Stan “The Lariat” Hansen, who is not under contract to the CWA but recently teamed with Brody in Kings Road United, rushed the ring and joined Brody in attacking Duggan despite the attempts by officials to stop them. Hansen gave several of the LOW officials the Lariat while Brody used his chain to bust Duggan open. A final Lariat was reserved for the bloody Duggan who was left laying from the assault.
Another wild brawl took place in a Falls Count Anywhere Match as Rob Van Dam locked up with his arch-rival The Sheik. Coming off a torrid battle at the Seibu Dome in Japan, RVD was looking to avenge a bitter defeat to the man who was once his mentor. Manager Abdullah Farouk was in the corner for The Sheik but did his best to stay out of the way after taking a clothesline from Jimmy Valiant earlier. It didn’t take long for this one to end up out on the floor which is where most of the action took place. The Sheik, having twice stabbed RVD with a sharp object, looked for more weapons to use but lost the advantage. RVD took over and actually grabbed the crutch from a ringside fan bending it over the head of The Sheik with a vicious blow. An aerial attack followed, and things were looking good for RVD until The Sheik caught him with a low blow followed by a Chair Shot to the throat resulting in a roll-up and pin on the concrete floor. The Sheik escaped with another big win and backstage a jubilant Farouk spoke to PWI Editor Bill Apter warning RVD to stay away from The Sheik for good or else he will live to regret it.
A huge eight-man tag team match took place as the Road Warriors (Hawk & Animal, with Paul Ellering), Bobo Brazil and Barry Windham joined forces to take on the New Age Horsemen foursome of “Ravishing” Rick Rude, Curt Hennig, Tully Blanchard and “The Enforcer” CW Anderson who had manager J.J. Dillon in their corner. The action in this one came at a furious pace with the referee having a difficult time keeping control of it. The faces dominated early as they bounced Rude around the ring like a ping pong ball, including Brazil blasting him with the Coco Butt for a big near fall. A big piledriver by Rude on Animal helped turn it around for the Horsemen much to the delight of Dillon. They got the heat on Windham for a good stretch before Windham bounced back hitting the Sweetwater Superplex on Anderson for what looked to be a sure pin. Dillon interfered, however, allowing Anderson to escape. “The Enforcer” looked good in this bout but was ultimately busted open and nearly pinned by another Coco Butt from Brazil but Blanchard made the save. Things broke down on the outside and the end result was a disqualification snake eyes style when the bloody Anderson speared Animal head first into the ring post. Things raged out of control post-match until the Road Warriors, Brazil and Windham were finally able to clear the ring sending the Horsemen and Dillon to the back.
The LOW International Heavyweight title was on the line in the semi-final match as The Crusher defended the belt against the “Million $ Man” Ted Dibiase, who was accompanied by his bodyguard Virgil. The two tried to bribe The Crusher with $10,000 to hand over the title by forfeit but he would have none of it. Drawing support from the crowd, The Crusher decked Virgil and grabbed the money tossing it up in the air forcing Dibiase to scramble around trying to pick it up. That gave The Crusher an opening and he tore into Dibiase as the match officially got underway. A big body slam and elbow drop resulted in a two count before he locked a bear hug on the challenger. Dibiase finally made a counter and used a suplex attack to rough up the champion. He also caught him with a second rope axe handle resulting in a two count. The Crusher stormed back and hit the Crusher Bolo, but the pin attempt was broken up by Virgil. A chase followed with the bodyguard narrowly escaping The Crusher who needed to get his focus back on Dibiase. The turning point came outside the ring when Virgil distracted the referee allowing Dibiase to give The Crusher a piledriver on the concrete floor. Back inside, Dibiase locked on the Cobra Clutch which initially The Crusher fought out of, but a reapplication of the hold led to the champion succumbing to it. Dibiase won the match via submission and was crowned the new LOW International Heavyweight champion. The victory also allowed Dibiase to join the likes of Buddy Rogers and Johnny Valentine in the prestigious Triple Crown club in LOW having held the LOW World Heavyweight title, the LOW World tag team titles and now the LOW International Heavyweight title.
As the fans eagerly awaited the main event, a buzz came through the building as none other than “Rowdy” Roddy Piper and his bodyguard “The Ace” Cowboy Bob Orton hit the ring. Piper grabbed the mic and exclaimed that the “main event is here!”, meaning himself and Orton. He said that the two enjoyed their time out on the west coast for Pacific Coast Wrestling but now it was time for some new opportunities and that means joining the Capitol Wrestling Alliance. Some fans cheered while most jeered as Piper and Orton are known to be two ruthless competitors. Piper said that “no one will be safe” in the CWA as they are “equal opportunity destroyers” and that “just when you think you’ve got the answers, I change the questions!” He said that when the CWA returns to MSG (Card #1265) he will show everyone just exactly what it means to have to deal with the “Hot Rod” and “The Ace”, with the two then leaving the ring soaking in the reaction from the crowd.
The main event was for all the marbles as the “American Wolf” Davey Richards finally got his chance to challenge for the LOW World Heavyweight title against “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles. Having won the PWI Invitational Cup Tournament at WrestleCade 12, Richards was guaranteed the title shot but an assault by Rick Rude and the New Age Horsemen put him on the shelf with an ankle injury. Having battled back from the injury, and battled the Horsemen as well, Richards felt that the time was right to go after Styles and attempt to defeat him for the championship. Styles, a two-time holder of the prestigious world title, had other plans in mind as he focused on the very real threat presented by Richards.
This was a match for the ages with both men going all out and utilizing most of their respective arsenals hoping to secure the victory. Richards shined early hitting a suicide dive and subsequent roll-up for a two count before applying the Ankle Lock for a submission chance. Styles recovered first after a double shoulder tackle off the ropes and hit the Spiral Tap followed by the Pele Kick for a big near fall. Richards responded with a punishing Cloverleaf hold that nearly got a tap out from Styles before he got to the ropes for a break. Richards would go back to the Cloverleaf several times but was unable to put Styles away with it. Richards also scored a big near fall when he got his knees up on a deathjump attack and cradled Styles out of it. Styles bounced back hitting the Styles Clash but somehow Richards kicked out of the pin. Another near finish came when Styles, who had been busted open by Richards, executed the Rack Bomb coming off a counter. Things reached a fever pitch by the finishing sequence which saw a missile dropkick on a deathjump by Styles before he executed what was his third Styles Clash of the match to score the pin. It was a successful version eight defense of the title for Styles, tying the number set in his first reign. Richards respectfully shook hands with Styles afterward but drew him in indicating he wanted another chance in the future. Styles nodded in agreement and will now head to Cobo Hall in Detroit, MI (Card #1256) to face his next challenger, the “Nature Boy” Buddy Rogers, on a Golden Age Wrestling spectacular.
Injury Report:
* Hacksaw Jim Duggan suffered a fractured neck courtesy of the assault by Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen, coming after Hansen blasted him with the Lariat. Duggan is expected to be out of action indefinitely. LOW Commissioner Charlie Cox, who was in attendance, put out a statement that he is reviewing the incident and will act as Hansen is not under contract to the CWA so there could be fines and suspensions for one or both men. Cox indicated that a statement from the commissioner’s office would likely be issued on the next edition of LOW All-Star Wrestling (Card #1261).
Transactions:
* The CWA has acquired the contracts of “Rowdy” Roddy Piper and “The Ace” Cowboy Bob Orton from Pacific Coast Wrestling in a cash exchange. In addition, the CWA has sold the contracts of The Fantastics (Bobby Fulton & Tommy Rogers) to Atlantic Coast Wrestling in another cash exchange.
