Independence Arena, Charlotte, NC.
6. NWA World's Heavyweight Title Match. (Champ): Greg 'the Hammer' Valentine w/mgr. James J. Dillon retained title over (Chall): 'Universal Heartthrob' Austin Idol. Idol gave Valentine a run for his money. When the champ went outside the ring, his manager put something in one of Valentine's leg pads. Greg used that leg to work on Austin's leg before applying his version of the figure-four leglock to get the win, despite Idol trying unsuccessfully to reverse it. Fans were yelling for the ref to check the champ's knee pad but DIllon had retrieved the object.
5. NWA World's Tag Team Title Match. (Champs): Kenta Kobashi & Mitsuharu Misawa w/mgr. 'Playboy' Gary Hart retain belts over (Challs): Jack & Gerald Brisco. Close match for the champs as the challengers had them on the run. The brothers used their speed & quick tags to counter the power, hard-hitting style of the champ. Misawa nailed Gerald with a short-armed lariat that spun him into a flip before getting pinned. Both teams absorbed a lot of punishment.
4. $25,000 Bounty Match (allegedly by Buddy Rose). A bloodied 'Cowboy' Bill Watts got the 1-2-3 over the Bounty Hunter with the Oklahoma Stampede. After the match, Watts unmasked the Bounty Hunter to reveal it was Ole Anderson. The two fought all the way back to the dressing room. The Bounty Hunter jumped Watts getting into the ring & took something out of his tights to draw blood quickly.
3. NWA World's Women's Title Match. (Champ): Mandy Rose retained title by disqualification over (Chall): Wendi Richter. Hot match as the champ tried to get the challenger to lose her temper but didn't have much success. Finally, Rose grabbed the belt & nailed Richter in the head in full view of the referee.
2. 4 Man Tag Team Match. Mr. Wrestling 1 & II (Tim Woods & Johnny Walker) went to a 20-minute time limit draw with the British Lords (Les Thornton & Tony Charles). Thornton & Charles have developed a more vicious, arrogant style.
1. Single Match. Chris Candido (of Triple Threat) w/valet Tammy Sytch pinned Steve Armstrong (of the Southern Boys) with a handful of trunks.
