Was really rooting for my Quebecers in that gauntlet... But, the Fantastics were simply on fire!

(Final Third of show, First Third and Second Third are posted above)
Match #7: Ivan Koloff defeated Hacksaw Jim Duggan in a steel chain match
- This grudge match ended when Koloff smashed Duggan in the face with a handful of the steel chain and then hit the RUSSIAN SICKLE on a bleeding Duggan for the victory.
Match #8: World Tag Team Champions Rock N' Roll Express defeated Buddy Rogers and Tully Blanchard (managed by JJ Dillon)
- First Fall: A good and very competitive fall, Blanchard pinned Robert Gibson via SLINGSHOT SUPLEX. Rogers and Blanchard up 1-0.
- Second Fall: Rogers and Blanchard got DQd when the action spilled out of the ring and Blanchard smashed Gibson with a steel chair. Rock N' Roll Express and Rogers/Blanchard tied 1-1.
- Third/Final Fall: Another really good fall, Ricky Morton pinned Rogers after DOUBLE DROPKICK. Rock N' Roll Express win 2-1.
- As a result, the Rock N' Roll Express retain the World Tag Team Championship.
Match #9: Bruiser Brody defeated World Champion Harley Race
- A good and intense match, Brody win via his JUMPING KNEE DROP.
- As a result, Brody regains the World Championship which he previously lost to Race in the main event at Vegasmania 2. This is Brody's 3rd time winning the World Championship (which ties him with Nick Bockwinkel for having the most reigns as World Champion.)
- Afterward, Race offered Brody his hand which Brody shook out of a sign of respect. Race then left the ring.
- As Brody held his newly won World Championship in his hands he was suddenly smashed from behind by the VWF Money in the Bank briefcase by Johnny Valentine who then indicated he wanted to cash in the briefcase for a World Championship match right now!
Match #10: Johnny Valentine (managed by JJ Dillon) defeated World Champion Bruiser Brody
- As this match was starting, Striker and Zbyszko pointed out that the Money in the Bank briefcase (won by Valentine at Vegasmania 2) is different from the 3 Money in the Bank briefcases being fought for next month at Money in the Bank: RAW, Money in the Bank: Smackdown, and Money in the Bank: EAWA because at those 3 PPVs those briefcases are only for the titles for those specific brands while the briefcase Valentine won was a VWF Money in the Bank briefcase invovling wrestlers from all 3 VWF brands at Vegasmania 2 thus allowing the winner to challenge for any of the top titles on any of the 3 VWF brands.
- A good match, but a tired Brody who suffered that briefcase smash right before the match started ultimately lost as Valentine won via his ATOMIC SKULLCRUSHER.
- As a result, Valentine is the new World Champion and this is Valentine's first Major championship!
End of Show.

Nice win by James Gang but I don't think they will be able to defeat the Fantastics...i remember watching those guys back in WCCW days and was surprised how many times they were able to squeeze out a win. Hansen and Abdullah sounded wild... i can see that match in my mind's eye and it was brutal!  Congrats to Johnny Valentine on becoming Champ! May his reign be a long one. |

Hansen and Abdullah sounded wild... i can see that match in my mind's eye and it was brutal! Congrats to Johnny Valentine on becoming Chaml! May his reign be a long one. yeah, other than the Road Warriors and the Rock N' Roll Express, I think the Fantastics have been the best tag team for me recently Johnny Valentine winning the World Championship at my Great American Bash is a very historic moment in my fed's history. My fed has a combined history of 6 game years and this is Valentine's 1st ever singles title (and only his 2nd title ever- he and Greg Valentine held my US Tag Team Championship way back in the first year of my fed.) It will be interesting to see how long he holds the World Championship. |

I love that Johnny Valentine used a briefcase (probably a Haliburton) to nail Brody and go on to win the World title. Great stuff as always, Zeke!
