CARD 1
The Crusher vs The Masked Superstar
These two men pummeled each other back and forth.They exchanged move after move untill the masked man missed a throat drop on the ropes.The Crusher took over.He gained a nearfall after a Bolo Punch.Superstar mounted a comeback and then tossed The Crusher to the arena floor.The Crusher drug his opponent from the ring,delivered a big body slam on the floor.After yet another nearfall,The Crusher sent Superstar to the floor and followed up by ramming him into the ringpost.Another Bolo Punch kept the Superstar down for a count of 2 3/4.The Crusher showed his frustration by tossing his man from the ring and finishing things the old fashioned way.The Crusher delivered a brutal piledriver on the floor,and settled for a countout victory.
Bruiser Brody vs Cowboy Bob Orton,Jr
Heenan was no help at all to his man in this match.Brody caught Orton in a backbraker,and when it seemed that the big cowboy was ready to give up,Bobby the Brain layed Orton's foot across the top rope,breaking the hold.As Brody was climbing the turnbuckle,Heenan tried to push the big man from the top.Bruiser clobbered the manager for his efforts and the delivered his Jumping Knee Drop.Brody picked up the win and disappeared through the crowd.
The Midnight Express vs Williams/Dibiase
The Midnight Express had things in their favor in the early going.They used quick tags and their manager even dished out some punishment of his own to keep his men in control.The referee had seen enough of the interference by Cornette and sent him back to the locker room.With the tactical edge gone,Williams and Dibiase took over.They worked well as a team,using tags and power to isolate Beautiful Bobby.Both men worked over Eaton and Dibiase scored the upset win after an elbow from the second rope.
Harley Race vs Mad Dog Vachon
Vachon earned his nickname in this match against Race.Mad Dog had control in the early part of the match untill Race broke free from a choke with a stiff punch in the face.The men battled back and forth with both using their own variation of the piledriver.Vachon actualy bit open a wound in the forehead of Race.Mad Dog was climbing the turnbuckle with a steel chair in hand.The referee was issuing an warning against such tactics,but Vachon was a man posessed at this point.As the metal of the chair connected with Race's head,the bell rang and Harley race moved to the semi-finals.
The Road Warriors vs Koloff/Volkoff
The Legion of Doom and the Russians was as wild a bout as one could be.This match was very short but violently brutal.The Warriors took control of the match after Hawk slammed Koloff to the floor.Back in the ring,The Warriors hit their Doomsday Device.Volkoff entered the ring to break up the pinfall.Volkoff then delivered a nasty 'hot shot' on the Hawk.This allowed Koloff to scoop up his chain and blast the Hawk.This earned the disqualification,but the Russians weren't finished yet.They delivered a brutal spike piledriver to Hawk before the Animal and Paul Ellering could intervene.A wild brwal broke out between the men and security had to seperate the two teams.
Nick Bockwinkel vs Curt Hennig
Larry Hennig was at his son's side as he battled the senior member of the Heenan Family.Bockwinkel had his hands full with young Curt.Hennig was doing well for himself.He hit a good series of moves,including his fathers finisher,The Axe.Nick took over after throwing Curt into the guardrail.Bockwinkel slapped on his famous leglock but with his father cheering him on,Hennig refused to submit.Ray Stevens argued with the elder Hennig,and Bobby the Brain distracted the referee.This allowed Bob Orton,Jr to deliver a punishing powerslam from the second rope.It was the begining of the end for Curt.He was kicked,choked,and piledriven into submission.Bockwinkel trapped a barely standing Hennig in his sleeper hold and picked up the win.
Larry Hennig vs Ray Stevens (Brass Knuckle's Match)
In a match that just got more interesting The Axe battled The Crippler in a taped fist match.This was just a good old fashioned fight.Both men battered each other into a bloody mess.Hennig used his taped up fist and nearly 70 pound advantage to pummel Stevens.Ray used chairs,high flying moves,and even bit in an attempt to slow the big man down.Stevens picked up the win after a second dropkick to Hennig's kness and Larry couldn't beat the 10 count.
Brusier Brody vs Harley Race
Brody and Race battled each other in a match that quickly got out of control.The action was furious and fast paced.Both men battled back and forth.Brody seemed on the verge of victory but it slipped away as he was dsqualified after sending Race into the steel ring post a second time.Race earned a trip to the finals with the unusual distiction of having never gained a pinfall victory thus far
Nick Bockwinkel vs The Crusher
This was a classic match as the technique of Bockwinkel was matched against the power of The Crusher.The action was fierce and the manager of Bockwinkel stayed clear of the action.The action was fierce and both men scored near-fallsand also nearly disqualified.Bockwinkel caught a worn out Crusher in an abdomial streach forcing the man from Milwakee to give up his quest for the title.
The Road Warriors vs Williams/Dibiase
The two power teams met in a match for the tag gold.Williams started out agaist the Animal.The crowd exploded as Animal pressed the Sooner over his head and slammed him to the mat.Dibiase tagged in and traded blows with the Animal.Hawk made the tag and exchanged kicks and punches with Dibiase untill a double clothesline put him down.The Hawk hit two lariets in a row setting up the Doomsday Device.Williams tried to brack the pinfall but was too late,and the Warriors left with the tag belts after a big win.
Nick Bockwinkel vs Harley Race
The two men met in a titanic clash.Bockwinkel trying to prove he is the greatest wrestler of all time,Race needing to show his birth in the finals was no fluke.The evenly matched men went move for move,hold for hold,punch for punch.At one point Race appeared to have the match won when Bobby the Brain distracted the referee and the Race himself.Harley chased down the manager and pummeled him.The fans cheered,but Bockwinkel took advantage.The referee did nothing as the action spilled from the ring.Both men broke all the rules and left nothing to chance,going all out for the gold.Back in the ring,the warriors exchanged suplexes and high risk moves.With both men exhausted,Nick trapped Race in his sleeperhold.In the center of the ring and nowhere to go,Race had no choice but to give in.In a somewhat surprising move,Bockwinkel pushed away an excited Bobby Heenan and hugged a beaten Race.The two warriors embraced in a show of mutual respect after a classic match.Bockwinkel was all smiles as AWA president Blackburn wrapped the 15 pounds of gold around the new champions waist.
