Blackjack Lanza interrupted Solie and demanded that Dusty Rhodes take him on right here right now. He continued that last week lost to Rhodes was a fluke and will not happen again. He then said he would wait for Rhodes response in the ring. Solie wondered if The American Dream would accept and we soon had our answer. Rhodes came down to the approval of the crowd and slid into the ring. Lanza had the early advantage but Rhodes was able to recover and drop a Bionic Elbow.

Dusty Rhodes pinned Blackjack Lanza with the Bionic Elbowdrop in 0:05:39.

Tommy Rogers starts thing off by eliminating Blackjack Lanza 20 seconds in then taking out Tully Blanchard 3 seconds later. Dusty Rhodes took out Harley Race at 2:35. Anderson gets a little revenge on the Fantastics by taking out Bobby Fulton 3:23 but Rogers returned the favor by eliminating Anderson 4:08. Rhodes and Flair hooked up and the crowd went wild and Rhodes caught Flair off guard and eliminated the Nature Boy 4:40. Mike Graham took out Buzz Sawyer 5:28. Rogers Eliminated Rhodes to the displeasure of the crowd 6:33 and Graham took out Rogers 7:16. This left Magnum T.A and Mike Graham.

Match for the vacant GAW Tag Team Titles: As this week's show starts The Fantastics are already in the ring as Solie welcomes everyone to Great American Wrestling. Anderson and Blanchard make their way to the ring led by J.J. Dillon as we get set for this championship match. The Fantastics took control of this one early and wore down the Horsemen as Dillon could do nothing but watch. The Horsemen caught a break when Fulton missed a leg drop and Blanchard was able to make the tag. The Enforcer worked Tommy Rogers over and locked on a half Boston crab. Blanchard took out Fulton who tried to make the save. Dillon distracted the ref as Anderson pulled on the rope for more leverage. Rogers couldn't take any more and tapped out. J.J Dillon snatched the tag titles from the ref and handed it to his boys as they made their way up to Solie.

Horsemen Blanchard & Anderson (Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard) defeated The Fantastics (Bobby Fulton and Tommy Rogers) when Anderson made Tommy Rogers submit to a half Boston in 0:09:09.

Solie welcomed the new champs but Anderson told Solie to shut up and listen. Anderson told the crowd that Rhodes will be next to feel the wrath of the Horseman and advised any want - a - be heroes to stay out there way.


When we returned from commercial, Solie welcomed the new GAW Television champion, Magnum T.A. The crowd gave the camp a nice pop as he came to the desk with the title around his waist. Solie once again congratulated him on his win then asked him his thoughts on facing either Mike Graham or Killer Brooks. Allan pumped up Mike Graham and talked about how they met twice last week and each time was a battle but finished by saying it will take a unique wrestler to take this title from him. On cue, Killer Brooks came down and said then that he was that wrestler and that after he takes care of Graham, He will be back for Allan. Brooks then headed to the ring for our next match.


Number One Contenders Match: Killer Brooks was already in the ring when Mike Graham came down but was attacked by Brooks before he could take of his jacket. Brooks was all over Mike Graham but he was able to fight his way back. Both men took shots at each other and both had near falls but just as Graham looked to be in control Brooks hit Gram with a vicious clothesline to take the win. The Ref held up his hand as Brooks pointed to T.A who was standing up by Solie.

Killer Brooks pinned Mike Graham with the Killer Lariat in 0:10:12.

Last week Harley Race and Buzz Sawyer were not able to finish things before the time limit was reached and continued their battle backstage. This week both men were at it again in a Falls Count Anywhere match. These men were all over the Auditorium to the delight of the crowd. With time running out Race hit a flying headbutt off the top rope to get the win.

When we returned from commercial we were greeted by a horrendous sight. Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard were dragging to the ring a bloodied and semi conscious Dusty Rhodes. They tossed him into the ring as Flair came down and yelled at the referee to start the match. Flair was bad mouthing Rhodes and slapped him a couple of times before going for the pin. Rhodes kicked out at two to the surprise of Flair. Flair continued to beat on Rhodes but even with all the abuse, he could not get the three count. Slowly Rhodes started to fight back and as the crowd cheered him on the more he fought back. Flair was beside himself as Rhodes continued his fight and hitting the Bionic Elbow to pick up the win. The Horsemen were stunned as Flair slid out the ring yelling at Dillon in disbelief. Rhodes stood in the ring hand raised bloody but victorious.

Dusty Rhodes pinned Ric Flair with the Bionic Elbowdrop in 0:13:20.
