Bill Apter spoke with Ric Flair about his injury and the Valentines.

Mark Lewin beat Cousin Luke via Flying Axe-Handle pinfall.
* 1/2
𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬: Cousin Luke made a few good tries to best Lewin, but couldn't quite get the job done. It does look like Gary Hart successfully signed Lewin though, as he was in Lewin's corner tonight.

***
𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬: Flair challenged Greg Valentine to a match at MWL #10. He said he doesn't care what sort of match, he doesn't even care about the outcome, just so long as he gets to whip on Valentine he's fine with it.

𝐁𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐀𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐳 𝐕𝐨𝐧 𝐄𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐡:
Bill Apter spoke with Fritz Von Erich about Barry Horowitz's comments about the Von Erichs last week.
** 1/2
𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬: Fritz denied pulling any strings of calling in any favors to get Kerry the rematch last week. Fritz days he's not going to stand by and let Horowitz run his mouth about his family. Fritz challenges Horowitz to a tag team match at MWL #10... Fritz and Kerry vs. Horowitz and anyone he can find who is willing to lose with him.

𝐆𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐯𝐬. 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜 𝐃𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐧:
Gorgeous George beat Chic Donovan via SPINNING TOEHOLD submission.
*
𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬: George made quick work of Donovan, it may have taken longer for the Human Orchid to get ready for the match with all the disinfecting and spritzing of the ring than it did for George to get Donovan to submit.

Gorilla Monsoon beat Fred Curry via count out.
****
𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬: Monsoon actually looked beatable here... at least until Red Berry started interjecting himself in the match. Eventually, Curry had had enough and got counted out trying to get his hands on Berry.

Adrian Street beat Big Bully Busick via CRUCIFIX pinfall.
*
𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬: Street embarrassed Big Bully Busick from the opening bell. Busick doesn't more time frustrated by and trying to avoid the antics of the Exotic One, that he really didn't get much going offensively.

𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐧𝐲 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐯𝐬. 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝐋𝐮𝐤𝐞:
Johnny Valentine beat Cousin Luke via Forearm Hammer pinfall.
**
𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬: Valentine took apart Cousin Luke in short order. After the match had ended Valentine continued to play the boots into Cousin Luke until Ric Flair ran to the ring to stop Valentine, but the damage was already done, and Valentine took off once he saw Flair coming. Cousin Luke will spend one card out of action.
