An interesting tournament final with both teams being heels and the non-clean count out result. Those darn dice! Bockwinkel & Rogers, already two-time world tag team champs, added another feather in their cap with this tournament win.)

(Note: This was a very controversial main event with Valentine losing the title but injuring the new champion. Massif refused to suspend Valentine for his actions but instead barred him from competing in the decision match to decide the new champion. Instead it was Mil Mascaras and Buddy Rogers that got the nod two shows later at MSG.)
