Following the match, Hart & Vader join Gordon & Bob at the desk to go ahead & declare Vader as the new World's Heavyweight Champion. He will destroy anyone - Backland, Watts, Brody, Hansen, McDaniel, Von Erich or anyone else. No man in the NWA can stop Vader.

Match 3. Ladies Single Match. Cherry Bomb beat Tayanra Conti with the best superkick ever. (8:26).

The fans appeared split for a while until Bomb hit her pet finisher for the 1-2-3.
After the match, Gordon & Bob are joined by Stan 'Lariat' Hansen who talks about concentrating on winning the World's Heavyweight Belt & not getting involved in the tag team tournament.

Match 5. Single Match. Fritz Von Erich beats Dory Funk Jr. with the Iron Claw who is ruled unable to continue due to excessive bleeding from the forehead. (9:22). Brutal attack on Von Erich's part right from the start. Junior got in some offense midways but the tenacity of Fritz was unstoppable.

Before signing off, Solie & Caudle are joined by 'Bruiser' Brody who is upset with some of the comments made by his tag team partner Stan 'Lariat' Hansen. He thought Hansen came to the NWA to win the World's Tag Team Belts with him but it looks like something has changed along the way. Brody says if Hansen wants to go that way, he will too. So don't be surprised if he ends up facing him in the ring. They will find out which one of them is the toughest.
Gordon & Bob run down the action on today's show then tell the fans to tune in next week for more NWA Championship Wrestling including more on the pairings at the PPV.
