Vader manages to fight them off and he seems a little winded but ok as the bell rings.

Vader starts the match in control, but Andre quickly turns the tide and wins with a headbutt in 5:13. It seems obvious that Cornette hired Andre to try and eliminate the threat of Vader, as Vader is limping pretty severely as he leaves the ring. As Vader is limping to the back, Andre comes up behind him and kicks his legs out from under him. He stomps on Vader’s ankle repeatedly until officials threaten a significant fine.

Rogers steps right in and takes control against The Iron Sheik. He and Lee look like they’ve been teaming for a while instead of this being the very first time. Sheik and Volkoff, however are a great tag team and they do a good job of isolating Lee. Keith fights through it, makes the tag to Rogers who cleans house and tags again. Lee hits the SPIRITBOMB (+1) for the win in 6:45. Sheik and Volkoff dump Rogers outside the ring and focus on Lee. They double team him until Rogers is able to get back into the ring to make the save. Lee suffers a shoulder injury and will be hurt for about 9 cards.

Trent Seven vs Dan Severn:

Trent Seven controlled most of the match but Severn got out of the way of a suicide dive and locked in the WAKIGATAME (+1) for the win.

World Tag Team Title Match- Roddy Piper and Jimmy Snuka (Champions) vs The Hamilton Wrecking Crew

As Piper and Snuka approach the ring, they’re attacked by the Midnight Express and Jim Cornette! This is apparently revenge for Piper and Snuka winning the belts from them. Piper and Snuka manage to fight off Eaton and Condrey but they’re obviously weakened from the battle, and the fresh, sadistic, Tolos Brothers are waiting for them.

The pre-match action doesn’t seem to bother Snuka and Piper as Jimmy hits John Tolos with the SUPERFLY SPLASH (+3) for the win in :43

It turns out that Snuka suffered a shoulder injury when he was attacked. He will be hurt for about 13 cards.



Eastern tag team title match: Hartford and Reginald Love vs Tracey Smothers and JT Lightning

Keith Lee vs Nikolai Volkoff- First Blood Match

There’s been bad blood between Lee and Volkoff ever since Volkoff and The Iron Sheik draped their flags over AJ Styles and Lee. Styles abandoned the team and left the area, but Lee has found a partner in Tommy Rogers that has more than held his own. Now it’s time for some of that bad blood to be spilled. Volkoff goes on the offensive early. He’s driving his knuckles into Lee’s head trying to split the skin and he’s really got his opponent on the ropes.

*Promoter’s Note* Those of you who have been on the boards for a while may recognize this format as the Impossible Tournament, created by Swarm. I’m recreating this concept with his permission.

Harley Race vs Rob Van Dam

Commissioner Cox steps out and tell Van Dam that if he can’t beat an “old washed-up has-been” like former 7 time world-champion Harley Race then not only does he not deserve a title shot, but maybe he shouldn’t be in Mid-Atlantic Wrestling at all!

Van Dam is kicking the ropes and screaming as Cox heads back into the locker room Van Dam is still furious when Race slips up behind him and tries to roll him up for a quick pin.

Mid Atlantic Tag Team Title- Sid Vicious and Dan Spivey vs Randy Savage and Tyler Black

Tyler Black and Randy Savage prove to be a much better team than anyone expected. They’re wary of each other as the match progresses, but both of them obviously want the prestige and money that comes with the tag team championship. Savage and Black do a great job of keeping Sid locked in their corner. Black finally gets the win with the ‘buckle bomb in 7:44. After the match, Spivey can’t believe what just happened. They got beat by two guys who can’t stand each other. He starts yelling at Sid who doesn’t seem to be in the mood to listen. Spivey is disgusted and turns to walk away.
