Killer Bees defeated Nikolai Volkoff & Iron Sheik (Blair over Volkoff by submission - Sleeper Hold)

LOW World tag team titles: Nick Bockwinkel & Buddy Rogers defeated Midnight Express (Rogers pinned Eaton - Piledriver) to win the titles
LOW World Heavyweight title: Bruno Sammartino defeated Mil Mascaras (pinfall - Cradle Hold) to win the title
(Note: A typical huge card at MSG headlined by area favorite (and bootleg card) Bruno Sammartino beating Mil Mascaras for the LOW World Heavyweight title. I remember it being a tremendous match ending with Mascaras missing a bodypress and being pinned by Sammartino. Nick Bockwinkel & Buddy Rogers became three-time LOW World tag team champions beating the Midnight Express underneath. Two bootleg debuts of note: Giant Machine and Superstar Billy Graham. Even though Giant Machine is Andre under a mask I used a twist and had Ted Dibiase, using his Million $ Man gimmick, bring in a huge unknown under the hood as a nemesis for Andre. Graham, meanwhile, scored a decisive win over The Sandman on the undercard.)

20-Man Battle Royal for $50,000: Andre the Giant eliminated Jimmy Snuka to win
Steel Cage Match: The Sheik defeated The Sandman (escaped through the cage door)
(Note: And some more bootlegs debut in the opener in the form of Greg Gagne and Spaceman Frank Hickey. I added bootlegs to beef up the rosters but ultimately stopped doing so once more LOW sets came out. At this point the only bootlegs I will add to my fed are woman wrestlers though to date I only use official woman wrestlers released - Sherri Martel, Ida Mae Martinez, Penny Banner, April Hunter, and Trinity Denucci - and that would be just to add more women to the roster. No offense to anyone who loves using bootlegs but I cut it off after a while since we were getting so many official cards. I still use the boots but only the ones listed at the start of this thread.)
