LWF SUPERCLASH I
The Showboat
Las Vegas, NV
Card #30
The ppv kicked off with a rematch between the Killer Bees and the team of Gorgeous George and Buddy Rose. The Bees lost their debut match to this team that is rumored to having problems and possibly splitting up. George and Rose controlled the Bees once again and Blair was rolled by George and pinned with the use of the tights.
The Midnight Express debuted in the LWF against Dick Hutton and Don Leo Jonathan. Hutton and Jonathan kept the pace slow at first but soon the Midnights got their offense going. Hutton survived for a short while but was pinned after Stan Lane's SuperKick.
Next was the Lumberjack Match between the Valiant Brothers and the Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff. A double dq between these teams set this match up. It was a brutal encounter with both teams feeling the wrath of the lumberjack on the outside. The loaded boot of the Iron Sheik put away Jimmy Valiant.
Also debuting was Mil Mascaras against Sabu. Sabu won his first match in the LWF but has lost four straight since then. Mascaras completely dominated Sabu and won with the flying bodypress.
Hacksaw Jim Duggan joined the LWF by teaming with Koko B. Ware against Ted DiBiase and King Kong Bundy. Duggan was down and taking punishment from both opponents but stayed in the match. It quickly broke down with all four men in with Koko never legally being in the match. The result was a double disqualification.
Jimmy Snuka went up against Nick Bockwinkel in a Texas Death Match. It didn't last long after Bockwinkel had the early momentum. Snuka rallied and the splash off the top was all she wrote.
Fans were irate at the ending of the match between Red Bastien and the Destroyer and Ox Baker and the Sandman. The Destroyer took some punishment and was unable to make the tag. After Bastien came in and got in trouble, the Destroyer wasn't there for him. Finally the masked man just left Bastien in the ring all alone and soon the Heart Punch finished him off.
Since losing the world title to Harley Race, Buddy Rogers lost a series of matches to Killer Kowalski and then Frank Gotch. A Best 2/3 Falls Match was signed between Rogers and Gotch. The first fall went to Gotch after repeated use of the Toe Hold. Rogers evened the match with the Figure Four. In the deciding fall Rogers took to the outside for the upper hand and won via the Figure Four.
The [glow=red,2,300]U.S. title[/glow] was on the line between champion Bobo Brazil and Killer Kowalski. Kowalski had challenged for the belt before but couldn't take it away. After beating Buddy Rogers he got another chance. Killer used the Claw Hold early and had Brazil in bad shape. The champ came back but couldn't get the three after the head butt. Kowalski kept fighting but Brazil landed the Coco Butt too many times and retained the U.S. title.
Greg and Johnny Valentine finally received their first shot at regaining the [glow=red,2,300]World Tag Team Titles[/glow] against the Road Warriors. This was a very brutal match with the Valentines staying toe to toe with the LOD. Both Hawk and Animal were nearly beaten but the match continued with a save by Johnny after the Doomsday Device. Hawk leveled the Hammer with a clothesline after that for the pinfall.
The main event features [glow=red,2,300]World Heavyweight Champion[/glow] Harley Race against the Giant Baba. Baba has stayed the No. 1 contender to the title since the championship tournament. He lost to Rogers at Parade of Champions but kept himself at the top of the rankings for this shot against Race.
Both men took a lot of punishment before going down with very few pinning attempts made. Both seemed on the verge of winning as neither would quit. Baba hit the Neckbreaker Drop to pin Race and become the new world heavyweight champion.
