Let’s go to the ring for our opening match!!
Harley Race vs Kenny Jay
Harley Race defeats Kenny Jay by pinfall, at 3:12, after hitting his Suplex finisher.
After the match, Harley cuts a promo about being the best wrestler on God’s green earth, and it’s a matter of time before the ACW heavyweight title is back around his waist a second time.
GS: “The former ACW heavyweight champion has his sights set on a second reign. Let’s go back to the ring for our next match.”
Blackjack Mulligan vs Keith Steinborn
Blackjack Mulligan defeats Keith Steinborn by submission at 3:42, when Mulligan applied his Blackjack Claw finisher.
GS: “Blackjack Mulligan is here in ACW to put his name at the top of the championship contender’s list. Up next, we’ll hear from the leader of the Russians, Ivan Koloff, so let’s go to the interview podium where he waits with the ACW Television Champion, Alexis Smirnoff.”
Ivan Koloff: “Last week we attacked the Road Warriors to send a message. Comrade Volkoff and Comrade Zhukov challenge you for the ACW tag team championships at the anniversary show. Now I want to address the ACW Heavyweight Champion, Magnum T.A. You have no opponent for the anniversary show. I challenge you for the ACW Heavyweight Championship. I will show Russian superiority over you. I await you answer.”
GS: “A challenge to the ACW Heavyweight champion, by Ivan Koloff. We’ll see Koloff later when he manages Alexis Smirnoff in our main event. Up next we have a grudge match that’ll shake up the ACW Tag Team rankings, as the Rock and Roll Express takes on the Texas Hangmen. Let’s go to the ring.”
Rock and Roll Express vs The Texas Hangmen
The Rock and Roll Express defeat the Texas Hangmen by pinfall at 10:21, after hitting their Double Drop Kick finisher on Killer.
(Lots of action in this match. Both teams had fatigue points early. The Hangmen started strong, but the Rock and Roll Express fought back and scored the win.)
GS: “Up next is the first of two championship main events. ACW Women’s Champion, Tina Moretti defends the belt against her toughest opponent so far, Mildred Burke. Let’s go to the ring.”
ACW Women’s Championship Match
Tina Moretti (c) vs Mildred Burke
Tina Moretti defeats Mildred Burke by pinfall, at 14:21 after hitting her Jumping Facebuster finisher on Burke.
(This match looked to be an easy night for Burke, but Moretti fought back hitting two consecutive finishers to secure the win.)
GS: “Tina Moretti survives tonight, and will go on to defend her title at the ACW 3rd anniversary show. Up next the ACW Television title is on the line as Alexis Smirnoff with Ivan Koloff in his corner defends the belt against Ranger Ross. Let’s go to the ring.”
ACW Television Championship Match
Alexis Smirnoff (c) vs Ranger Ross
Ranger Ross defeats Alexis Smirnoff by pinfall at 2:43 after hitting a cross body block, scoring the upset.
The crowd erupts in celebration at the upset
GS: “WE HAVE A NEW TELEVISION CHAMPION!! Ranger Ross scores a major victory against Smirnoff!!”
The Russians immediately attack the new champion, beating him down. As Koloff and Smirnoff continue their attack, the Road Warriors hit the ring saving Ross. They brawl with the Russians eventually tossing Koloff from the ring, then hitting their Doomsday Device finisher on Smirnoff. As the Russians retreat, Paul Ellering grabs the microphone and yells out, “Challenge Accepted!!” to the audience’s delight.
GS: “Ladies and gentlemen, that’s all the time we have for tonight. We’ll see you all next week, goodnight!!”
