---------------------------------------------
LARRY HENNIG (0-0) vs. TIMBER (0-1)
Timber heads to the ring waving his barbed wire 2x4. His only loss is by DQ and has yet to be pinned. Larry makes his debut tonight along with his son in the next match.
Timber starts the match by slapping Larry’s face, which only made the big man mad. Larry responded by pushing Timber in to the corner and threw punches in the corner. Then tossed him into the ropes and delivered a clothesline which knocked Timber out of the ring. Larry followed and a brawl broke outside of the ring in which Timber gained the advantage and tossed Larry back in the ring. He then put a spinebuster on Larry and covered for a pin. 1…2…Larry Kicks out! Timber was able to pin Larry once more getting a 1 count, then did his LOGSPLITTER (toss into ropes and running ax handle to the head), but Larry was able to quickly get up before a pin attempt was made. After the move though, Larry was never able to regain offense and Timber finally put him away with swinging neckbreaker for the win.
Timber (1) beat Larry Hennig (3) with a swinging neckbreaker. Match Rating: **
--------------------------------
CURT HENNIG (0-0) vs. SEAN DAVIS (0-0)
Sean Davis (one half of the Heartbreak Express) was shaking his moneymaker for the ladies, who were booing him. He seemed not to notice and pretended that they were cheering him on. Curt made his way to the ring and was cheered on.
Sean got in Curt’s face and was saying that he was winning this for the ladies. Curt responded with a cocky slap to the face, then a second one. He tried for a third one, but Sean responded with a short arm clothesline. Curt regained control, but never went for the cover. Sean shoved Curt to the mat then strutted around the ring doing arm poses for the crowd yelling how strong he was. He then followed up with a BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX, but only got a 1 count. A second one, but again Curt kicks out. After a few offense moves, Sean then does a sexy gyration and a big splash. This must have hurt Curt because Sean then picked him up for a short clothesline and covered for the win.
Sean Davis (0) beat Curt Hennig (0) with a short clothesline. Match Rating: *
-------------------------------------
MONGOLS (0-0) vs. DREAM TEAM (0-0)
Brutus and Greg were able to get the best of the Mongols and even had Geeto isolated and bleeding.
He was able to tag in Bepo though, and Bepo cleaned house. The Dream Team used teamwork very effectively to regain control of the match though. Bepo made a defensive tag and both men did a double clothesline on Brutus. At one point Brutus tossed Geeto into the corner and charged in, but Geeto hit him with a surprise spear. Every time that the Mongols got some sort of offense going, the Dream Team was able to get the defensive tag to regain control of the match. Brutus finally put Bepo down with the studded armband smash for the win.
The Dream Team Brutus Beefcake (0) and Greg Valentine (0) beat the Mongols Bepo (3) and Geeto (3)
Match Rating: * ½
--------------------------------
Highlights of the tag team battle royal on Card #003in which the Road Warriors and the team of Johnny Rodz and S.D. Jones win.
---------------------------------
ROAD WARRIORS (0-0) vs. JOHNNY RODZ & S.D. JONES (0-0)
As expected this match was short. Animal quickly did an overhead bodyslam on Johnny and then tagged in Hawk for the DOOMSDAY DEVICE. Jones tried to break the pin, but Animal quickly stopped him.
Road Warriors Animal and Hawk beat Johnny Rodz (2) and SD Jones (0) to become the first GWF Tag Team Champions. Match Rating: DUD
-----------------------------------
The announcer catches the Road Warriors in the back for a quick interview. He asks them how does it feel to be the first GWF Tag champs. Animal says that being champs is nothing new to them. They are surprised that SD Jones and Johnny Rodz won the battle royal, and proved their toughness, but they are not the caliber of the Road Warriors, NO ONE IS!!! They are the dominant team to beat. Hawk says that he knew they would become champions just not that easy. Hawk then says ‘How do I feel winning the titles? WHAT A RUUUUUSSSSSSHHHH!!!!”

Sandman took the offensive quick and tried to use his SINGAPORE CANE early, but Necro caught him with a surprise rollup for a 1 count. Necro then took it outside the ring and into the ring barricade. A brawl broke out between the two and Necro won by doing an Asiatic Spike. Necro did a beatdown in the corner and covered for a pin, and Sandman kicked out at 2 ½. After receiving four tokens, Sandman finally fought back and hit Necro with a SINGAPORE CANE again, and this time he hit. Again he hit the SINGAPORE CANE. 1…2…3!
Sandman went to celebrate his win, but the ref informed him that Necro was able to kick out at the last second, but the ref was unable to stop the count. It was that close. Sandman argued with the ref and Necro took the opportunity to attack Sandman from behind and hit his TIGER DRIVER. 1…2…thre…Sandman barely kicks out! Necro was frustrated at this point and hit him with another Asiatic Spike and went for the cover. 1..2…thre…Sandman again barely kicks out! Necro did the only thing he could do at this point and did another TIGER DRIVER. 1…2…3!

PEPPER GOMEZ & ILIO DIPAOLO (0-0) vs. EXECUTIONERS (0-0)
For both teams this is their first match since their debut, not counting the ROYAL RUMBLE.
Ilio and Paul started the match. Paul tried an arm drag, but Ilio countered with a dropkick that Paul moved out of the way. As Ilio was getting up Paul went for NOVACAINE (sleeper), but Ilio was able to reach the ropes. Paul then did a Boston Crab on the sluggish Ilio, but again Ilio reached the ropes. Paul drug him back to the center of the ring and this time Ilio had nowhere to go and had to tap out.

--------------------------------
JIM LONDOS (3-1) vs. ©FRANK GOTCH (4-0)
UWF TITLE
Jim started out strong and Frank rolled out of the ring for a breather, but made it back before being counted out. Jim did not let up and was able to put on a grinding arm bar, but Frank was able to break the hold. Jim continued his attack and finally put down Frank again, this time with his BOSTON CRAB, but again Frank was able to escape the hold. After a slow start, Frank was able to wear down Jim and put on an Iowa backdrop, 1…Jim kicks out! Frank then went straight for the GOTCH TOEHOLD, but Jim quickly reached the ropes for the break. Jim fought his way back, and again Frank rolled out of the ring for a breather. Later in the match Jim hit him with a crotch lift and slam, but only got a 1 count before Frank kicked out! Jim went for another grinding arm bar, but Frank rolled out of the ring again. Jim got frustrated by this and went out after him causing a brawl to erupt with Frank getting the advantage. Frank hit another Iowa Backdrop, but was only able to get a count of 2. Frank quickly did another GOTCH TOEHOLD, and this time Jim could not get away and tapped out!
