Rock'n'Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson) vs. The Powers of Pain (The Barbarian and Warlord) Jimmy Hart's Powerhouse came in with eyes on the world titles.

No-Time-Limit-Cage Match: Ric Flair vs. Rick Steamboat The Main event lived up to the billing as both men left it in the ring. Both men had chances to excape the ring but each time one got close the other would find the energy to pull the other down. Steamboat looked like he had the advantage but instead of climbing out the ring, he tried to drop an elbow from the top of the cage. This backfired as he missed and came crashing down on the elbow. Flair took the advantage and attacked the arm and made his way out the cage for the win. Winner: Ric Flair by escaping the cage in 0:17:44. Rating: **** Card rating: ** 3/4 Match observations: Who is this Masked Wrestler and why is he working with Randy Savage? What does this Maksed Wrestler have planned for our World Champ?

Rating: ** 3/4 - It is announced that next week the United States Title Tournament will begin. Magnum T.A. vs. Boris Zhukov Last week Zhukov was non to happy with his loss to Terry Allen last week and attacked T.A after the match. Terry quickly asked and was granted this match. Zhukov seemed in control but Allen started fighting back. Just then Earthquake blasted T.A from behind. The ref called for the bell but that stopped nothing. Earthquake hit splash after splash until T.A was motionless. Officials finally removed Zhukov and Earthquake from the ring and attended to T.A. Winner: Magnum T.A. by disqualification in 0:10:34. Rating: 1/4* [Earthquake interfered against Magnum T.A..] - North American Champion Tully Blanchard entered the ring and talked about the Italian Stallion and his demand for a title shot. Blanchard said that being the North American Champion comes with some perks and that's deciding who and when he defends his title. He then said that to answer Stallion's demand for a title shot....the answer was no! The crowd booed as The Stallion made his way to the ring. He got in Blanchard's face and called him a farce of a champion and probably a little chicken. Before Stallion could say anything else, Blanchard laid him out with the belt and yelled at him before slapping him around before leaving the ring to the boos of the crowd. Rock'n'Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson) vs. The Powers of Pain (The Barbarian and Warlord) These teams are quickly starting to dislike each other as they meet for the 3rd times in as many weeks.
