---The second non-tournament match saw Abdullah the Butcher/Baron Von Raschke/Fritz Von Goering def. Bruiser Brody/Stan Hansen/Johnny Mantell after Baron locked on the BRAIN CLAW on a hapless Mantell for the submission win. Afterwards, as Brody/Hansen brawled around ringside with Abdullah/Von Goering, Baron kept the hold on Mantell. As a result, once the melee was broken up, Mantell hd to be stretchered out of the Armory.



---Main Event: PWF HW Championship: The finals saw controversy and a two big heel turns as Dick Hutton def. Jack Brisco w/ an Oklahoma Side Roll after help from Harley Race. Brisco had Hutton locked in the FIGURE-FOUR LEGLOCK before Sir Oliver Humperdink came down to ringside and distracted the referee. This allowed Harley to run down and drop the DIVING HEADBUTT on Brisco and then plant Jack w/ the PILEDRIVER.

Hutton turned Brisco over an Oklahoma Side Roll to win the match and the championship as the fans booed Hutton, Race, and Dink nearly out of the building. Humperdink grabbed the house mike and declared Hutton would now be known as 'Dirty' Dick Hutton and his top star in the 'House of Humperdink.

A quick match as Magnum takes it to White, winning in under 3-minutes of match time w/ the BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX.


---The Vachons w/ Sir Oliver Humperdink over The Pitbulls
This one turned into a war and looks to be a budding feud. Humperdink stuck his nose into the matches to turn the tide for the Vachons but ate a Slingshot Shoulder Block from the Pitbulls. However, as the referee was hustling PB#2 out of the ring, Mad Dog walloped PB#1 with his chains which led to Butcher landing a Big Splash from the middle turnbuckle to get the win.

---Larry Zbyszko/The Crusher over the Midnight Express w/ Jim Cornette to advance to the finals of the PWF TT Championship tournament.
The Armstrongs got involved in this one as they went after Cornette. MX went to fend them off but Crusher catches Condrey w/ the CRUSHER BOLO and Zbyszko follows with a painful Backbreaker for the finish.


---Main Event: PWF Championship: Dick Hutton (c) w/ Sir Oliver Humperdink retains over Jerry Brisco in his V1 defense.
The younger Brisco brother gave as good as he got but was clearly out numbered when Harley Race showed up at ringside. Dink distracted the referee as Hutton tossed Brisco to the floor where Harley dropped him gut-first across the security railing w/ a 'front' VERTICAL SUPLEX. Back in the ring, Hutton locked on the ABDOMINAL STRETCH and rained elbows down on the side area of Brisco. The ref, realizing Brisco wasn't going to get out of the hold, called for the bell.
