Number-One-Contenders-Match:
Rock'n'Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson) defeated The Midnight Express (Bobby Eaton and Dennis Condrey) when R. Gibson defeated Eaton when Eaton passed out in the Gibson Leglock in 0:20:39.
Rating: ** 1/2

It looks like the Rock N Roll Express are the new #1 contenders to the tag team titles held by Ron Garvin and Rick Steamboat.  One has to wonder just how James E. Cornette is going to get his team back into the title picture after this loss.

Tonight on the card, Kamala was to have taken on Terry Taylor in a rematch from last week, but Taylor is not here in the building.  Wahoo McDaniel and Manny Fernandez take on Nikita Koloff and Billy Jack Haynes.  Krusher... er Masahiro Darsow does battle with Fantastic Fulton.  In a rematch from two weeks ago, Road Warrior Hawk squares off with Maxx Payne.  In a non-title, falls count anywhere, not sanctioned by Championship Wrestling match, Tag Team Champions Ron Garvin and Rick Steamboat do battle with The J-Tex Corporation.  The Nasty Boys face Lady's Choice.  Arn Anderson goes toe-to-toe with Waylon Mercy.  The Invaders take on Rocky Johnson and Tony Atlas.  And in the main event, Heavyweight Champion Dusty Rhodes defends against #1 contender Ric Flair.

(Ric Flair won the Heavyweight Title.)

The arena is erupting into a chorus of cheers for both combatants in tonight's main event.  Flair is over to help Rhodes to his feet.  And Flair extends his hand for a handshake.  And Rhodes accepts.  They hug and Rhodes raises Flair's hand in the air, as Tommy Young presents Flair the Heavyweight Title.  

Join us again next next week Charleston, West Virginia, as The Invaders take on Tony Atlas and Rocky Johnson.  And apparently Jim Cornette has lobbied for a rematch for the #1 contender position as he felt "hornswaggled".  So in next week's main event, The Rock N Roll Express takes on the Midnight Express for the #1 contender spot and to top this match off, it will be no countout and no disqualification!

Until next time, so long everybody!

Card rating: ** 1/4

In accepting your "award", I must say thank you to Mr. James E. Cornette and to Foghorn Leghorn for their constant and on-going usage of the word "Hornswaggled".

Half the battle is getting people to read the cards.  The other half is making them stay, once they've read their first one.
