2) Lex Luger beat Bruiser Brody with a Press Slam in 6:11
-High impact action from both as Luger scored a mild upset with a three count on the wildman Brody.

3) Dory Funk Jr. defeated Terry Gordy with the Indian Deathlock in 5:21
-Funk showed his wrestling skill and prowess by outclassing the larger Gordy.

4) Barry Windham defeated "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase with a Bulldog in 10:32.

5) Jerry "The King" Lawler defeated Rick Rude with the Piledriver in 9:25.

News and Notes: A solid first night of action. Probably the biggest surprise was Bruiser Brody falling in the qualifying round and that there will be a Bye in the next round due to the Double-Countout finish.

Promoter's Note: Yet another reboot. I thought I had something with the WWF v NWA project but I lost interest. And so I begin anew...again. This time I try multiple territories again. I'm also doing something I should have done a long time ago. I'm going to play several cards ahead and then pace out when I post them so they are more regular. I really enjoy playing but when there is a gap between when I play and post I lose interest. I really want to try and keep this attempt going. Using official B&W sets, and Olson sets from the Yahoo group. Wish me luck.

-Hollywood Wrestling-

In-Ring Interview (Jim Ross is with Bobby Heenan and his Family - Nick Bockwinkel, Rick Rude, Curt Hennig & Tully Blanchard)

JR: Well I see that you are all smiles Mr. Heenan and with good reason.
BH: You will address me as the Brain you bumpkin. I told you and everyone else that I guaranteed victory for Nick Bockwinkel and that he would be the next LWA World Heavyweight champion and what happened, huh? Right here is the proof. I only manage the best. Look around you. This is a collection of some of the finest athletes that this sport has to offer. And tonight there is a Battle Royal to determine the first LWA Hollywood Heritage Champion and I'd say that the odds that one of these men take the gold is more than just pretty good.
JR: Well (ahem) Brain. There was a bit of controversy surrounding that match with former champion Ric Flair as you interjected yourself as well as the distraction provided by Hulk Hogan. Would you care to comment on that?
BH: How dare you attempt to diminish this accomplishment! I won't dignify it with an answer.
NB: Please allow me. Mr. Ross I understand as a journalist you must not only ask questions but you must attempt to stir up controversy as well. But let me be clear this is a man's sport and you must overcome obstacles. I have great respect for Mr. Flair and let me say right here and now that he will get his mandated re-match. He has my word. But as for that muscled up glamour hog Hulk Hogan, I have no respect for him and his presence at ringside did not concern me. So if Ric Flair chose to focus on him and not his duties as champion well then maybe that's why I have possession of this beautiful golden belt.
JR: Understood. My final question is to anyone in the Heenan family. Tonight all of you will have a chance to win the LWA Hollywood Heritage championship so I'd like to know which one of you will be leaving with the gold tonight?
BH: Oh no you don't! This interview is over. Let's go!

4) Mr. Fuji beat Masked Superstar with the Banzai Drop in 12:37.
-As the match progressed Ax and Smash came to ringside and helped distract their manager's opponent. Fuji then dipped his tights and hit the masked man with Salt that blinded him and he staggered and fell to the outside. The ref then turned his back and Demolition hit a double slam on Superstar on the concrete and then rolled him back in. Fuji then hit the Banzai and made the cover for the cheap victory.
