/w/ Friday
defeated by DQ
'THE MONSTER' ABYSS 2 & CRAZZY STEVE 3

IRON SHEIK & NIKOLAI VOLKOFF 2

KING KONG BUNDY 1 & BIG VAN VADER 1
defeated by PIN
MAGNUM TA 3 & THE MIDNIGHT RIDER 2

* Harley Race came out and again announced he would pay 10K to anyone who can unmask The Rider. Race then joined Gordon Solie and Roddy Piper at the announce desk, for a ringside seat of the match. Harley was a constant distraction during the match and eventually his involvement led to Vader Power Bombing Magnum for the win.



* After the match Bundy and Vader went for the bounty but the Rider escaped the ring with a groggy Magnum.




JIMMY 1 & JOHNNY VALIANT 3
defeated by PIN
LARRY 5 & CURT HENNIG 2

Really fun with Vader and Bundy winning as well as the Birds.

KEVIN 1 & KERRY VON ERICH

* The Von Erich's won rather easily after Kerry knocked Scott's lights out with a Discus Punch.

defeated by PIN
HEAVENLY BODIES : TOM PRICHARD 2 & STAN LANE 1

* The maniacal Kiwi's brutalized the pretty boy fan favorites, before Butch pinned Prichard after a sick Running Knee Smash!






NATIONAL HWT. CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE MATCH
BUZZ SAWYER 2 (C) defeated AJ STYLES 3 by DQ

RIC FLAIR 3 defeated BLACKJACK MULLIGAN 5 (C)

TEN POUNDS OF GOLD #42

Houston, Texas
Toyota Center

N.W.A. WORLD TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT



ROADWARRIORS : ANIMAL & HAWK
/w/ Paul Ellering
defeated by PIN
HEADHUNTERS : KIMALA "The Ugandan Giant" & ABDULLAH THE BUTCHER
/w/ Friday

* This was a hard hitting 'slobber knocker' that saw everyone but Animal bleeding by the end. It was Animal's impressive strength that won the match for the L.O.D., when he Power Slammed Kimala for the three count!!!






BRUISER BRODY & STAN HANSEN
defeated by PIN
IRON SHEIK & NIKOLAI VOLKOFF

* Sheik had a bloody Brody locked in the Camel Clutch late but The Lariat made the last second save. The 'hard' hitting action finally came to end when Brody landed a Jumping Knee Drop on The Iron Sheik.






IVAN & NIKITA KOLOFF
/w/ Boris Zhukov
defeated by PIN
KING KONG BUNDY & BIG VAN VADER

* This was the third straight knock down drag out fight, as these four beast tried to tear each other apart. Bundy and Vader came oh so close to victory a couple times, but timely saves by Nikita kept the match alive. Uncle Ivan was finally able to make a hot tag and The Russian Nightmare came in like a house of fire, Russian Sickling Vader out of the ring and then using the same move to put Bundy down for the count!!!






ROCK-N-ROLL EXPRESS : RICKY MORTON & ROBERT GIBSON
NO CONTEST - DOUBLE DQ
JIMMY & JOHNNY VALIANT
/w/ Lou Albano

* This was the best match of the night, with the worst decision. The action was fast and furious and went back and forth, until the Express hit a Double Dropkick on Johnny and it looked over. Albano distracted the referee, saving his man, but this led to the Express going after the portly manager and a wild brawl on the floor. The referee started the count, but immediately threw the match out when the fighting became to crazy. Both teams are eliminated from the tournament and gives the Koloffs a bye to the semi-finals.




MVC : TERRY GORDY & STEVE WILLIAMS
defeated by PIN
FABULOUS FREEBIRDS : MICHAEL HAYES & BUDDY ROBERTS

* The MVC dominated the match, as Gordy ignored Haye's constant verbal harassment. Finally Bamm Bamm snapped and beat Michael Hayes bloody, before tossing him out of the ring. Gordy then got Buddy 'Jack' up for a Power Bomb, but brought him back down into a rather 'light' Power Slam for the win.



* Gordy got on the mic after the match...


"Boy.... You better leave well enough alone... I could have really hurt you both, but I didn't... Next time you won't be so lucky!"





The 'new' N.W.A. WORLD HWT. CHAMPION RIC FLAIR comes to ring for an interview with Roddy Piper. He is joined by Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard and J.J. Dillon.


"What's causing all this??…Haha!!!.. The Horsemen and back together and ready ride rough shod over the entire N.W.A.!!! Like it or not, learn to love it, because we're the best thing going today." struts around the ring as J.J. gets on the mic.


"It's time to introduce the fourth and final Horsemen.... Ladies and gentlemen, I give you..... BARRY WINDHAM!"


BARRY WINDHAM walks to the ring, clutching THE MIDNIGHT RIDER'S mask in his now black gloved right hand. MAJOR HEAT!

* A video is shown of a 'face' Barry Windham jumping an unsuspecting Rider in the locker. The Bounty Hunter beat him down unmercifully, before ripping the mask from his head. The camera didn't catch the Rider's identity as a towel was quickly thrown over his face by Magnum as other wrestlers retrained Windham.

* Piper, Windham and Flair all talk before BLACKJACK MULLIGAN walks out on stage on crutches. The big Texan continues towards the ring but is restrained by several wrestlers and finally pulled back into the back.


Flair berates Mulligan and does his limousine riding promo before getting deadly serious.
"Race!!!... Next card, it's you and me pal and there's no way you're taking this TEN POUNDS OF GOLD from me brother! NO WAY! Barry's going to take your ten thousand dollars when he exposes Dusty for the fraud he is, and I'm going to take your pride when I beat you in the middle of the ring! WOOOOOoooo…"




ARN ANDERSON & TULLY BLANCHARD
/w/ J.J. Dillon
defeated by PIN
BOB & BRAD ARMSTONG

* The Armstrong mounted little offense and Brad was quickly pinned after an Anderson Gourdbuster!






MIDNIGHT EXPRESS : DENNIS CONDREY & BOBBY EATON
/w/ Jim Cornette & Big Bubba Rogers
defeated by PIN
KEVIN & KERRY VON ERICH

* Incredible FIVE STAR match, with a marred ending, when Cornette had the ref distracted Bubba slid in the ring and Bubba Slammed Kevin. Eaton quickly made the cover and the rest as they say is history...







* DAVE TAYLOR, carrying the Union Jack, led the maniacal SHEEPHERDERS to the ring.



THE SHEEPHERDERS : LUKE WILLIAMS & BUTCH MILLER
/w/ Dave Taylor
defeated by PIN
THE FANTASTICS : TOMMY ROGERS & BOBBY FULTON

* Fantastic match! *Pun intended* It's always a blood bath when these two teams collide and this one was no different. The end saw Fulton taking a Double Gutbuster, as Taylor kept Rogers from making save as Miller made the cover...







* A video montage is shown of the history of the Savage-Garvin feud, starting way back in Poffo's ICW.




RONNIE GARVIN
defeated by DQ
'Macho Man' RANDY SAVAGE (C)

* Garvin was in the Macho Man's head and had the champ off his game. It looked like we had a new champion when Garvin knocked Savage out with his Hands Of Stone, but Princess Kimberlee made the save by hitting Garvin in the back of the head with the TV title belt. Tommy Young immediately called for the bell, disqualifying Savage and awarding the match but not the title to Ronnie Garvin.






N.W.A. NORTHAMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE MATCH
BARRY WINDHAM 5
/w/ J.J Dillom
defeated by PIN
TED DIBIASE 6

* Barry had so much heat that the fans were behind the hated Dibiase, and he responded by wrestling like a baby face. When it was all said and done this match became a match of the year front runner, as these two left it ALL in the ring. A Sweetwater Suplex put Dibiase down, a Lariat almost beheaded him and a Blackjack Claw had him in so much pain his shoulders were counted down! 'NEW" CHAMPION!!!





* The rest of the Horsemen came out to celebrate with Windham, but the celebration was cut short when The Midnight Rider, Magnum TA and Blackjack Mulligan hit the ring! Mulligan was swinging his crutches like a mad man as Rider went right for Windham, it was pure BELAM, as we fade to black….

* LOU THESZ left Promotion and took NATIONAL HWT. CHAMPIONSHIP with him.
* BRUISER BRODY left Promotion and took UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP to Japan and it's now the I.W.G.P. U.S. Championship

[TTX]

Lots of wild and crazy action with the heels dominating but all around a great time from Windham joining the Horsemen to Buzz Sawyer overcoming AJ (even if by DQ) to Windham beating DiBiase.

Thank you TTX, I truly appreciate the constant support.
