What does RPW stand for in Team RPW? I explained it when the group formed at the beginning of this year, so you'd have to go back a few pages in the thread to find it. But it stands for "Real Pro Wrestling". I usually just type "RPW" to make it quicker.  |

Looking especially forward to seeing the Road Warriors wrestling the tag champions King Kong Bundy and Masked Superstar.
Card #145: Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Evansville1) The opener was a wild tag bout, as The Killer Bees battled Cousin Luke and Virgil to a double disqualification. The Midnight Express, Jim Cornette, and Justin Credible watched the match from the aisle, as The Midnights will battle The Bees in a rematch from Card #144, next week in Dallas. Luke and Virgil scored nearfalls throughout the bout. Cornette couldn’t help himself and got involved, allowing Virgil to use brass knuckles on B. Brian Blair. The Bees donned the masks and pulled the old “switcharoo” to regain control. They hit Virgil with the Bee Sting, but Luke broke up the pin attempt. Virgil and Luke later regained control. With Luke in the ring, Cornette again distracted Paul Morton, which allowed Luke to bring in the lucky horseshoe and smack Blair with it, drawing blood from his bee mask. Luke went for a cover, but “Jumping” Jim came in to break it up. Virgil jumped in and he and Brunzell started trading punches. All four men started going at it, leaving Morton no choice but to disqualify both teams. Cornette and The Midnights laughed from the aisle at The Bees’ inability to win the match. **** 2) Texas champion Greg Valentine pinned “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka. This match saw both men attempt top rope maneuvers, but in more cases, both failed to hit! Snuka went for a Superfly Leap, but “The Hammer” rolled out of the way. Snuka landed hard and Valentine applied the figure-four leglock. Snuka managed to reach the ropes. Snuka made a comeback and went to the top again, but Capt. Lou Albano yelled at him from the floor. “Superfly” started yelling back, which allowed Valentine the chance to recover and shove Snuka, crotching him on the top rope. Valentine pulled Snuka off the buckle and executed a shoulder breaker. “The Hammer” floated over into a cover and got the three-count. ** 3) Justin Credible scored a big win, defeating “Playboy” Buddy Rose. Rose looked aggressive early, trying to score a much needed win. But Justin came back. Jim Cornette distracted Tommy Gilbert, allowing Credible to bring the Singapore cane into the ring. But with Gilbert tied up, “Sensational” Sherri Martel snuck in the ring and played tug-of-war with the cane. Credible got the cane, but went backwards into a school boy roll-up from Rose. Gilbert turned around to make the count, but Credible kicked out. Gilbert threw the cane out of the ring. The bodyguard ended up not needing it, as he scored the victory on Rose after That’s Incredible. *¾ 4) Rikidozan is now 9-0, after defeating Dick Hutton in a great wrestling match. Hutton was in control early on and looked on his way to victory, even applying the abdominal stretch, but Rikidozan held on. The Japanese superstar scored some nearfalls after a flying head scissors and some stiff overhead chops, as well as with one of his hiplocks. Rikidozan picked up Hutton and dropped him with a big scoop slam, then turned into a cover and got the pin. Both wrestlers shook hands afterwards. ***½ 5) The Sheik scored another victory, and in rather decisive fashion, over rival Frank Gotch. Gotch was aggressive early on, but a momentary distraction from Abdullah Farouk allowed The Sheik to throw a fireball at Gotch. Gotch rolled out of the ring, holding his face. Sheik pounded on Gotch, applying the Camel Clutch for several minutes, pounding away on Gotch’s burned face, eventually drawing blood. Gotch fought hard, but eventually conceded to the Clutch. * 6) The Flying Redheads rebounded from a recent slump to score a big win in becoming only the second team in USWA history to score a pin or submission win over The Midnight Express. “Beautiful” Bobby and “Loverboy” Dennis tagged in and out early on, and it looked like they were going to score a quick win over The Redheads, as they hit both the Rocket Launcher and two Midnight Massacres on Red Bastien, but the former Texas champ held on. Billy Red Lyons tagged in and locked Condrey in the figure-four leglock, but Condrey made the ropes. From this point, it was mainly The Redheads tagging in and out, using several double team moves on the former champs. Midway through the bout, The Killer Bees were seen watching from the aisle. Lyons locked Eaton in the sleeperhold and it looked like Eaton was going out. Jim Cornette (as he seemed to do often tonight), jumped on the apron, while Justin Credible was about to jump in with the Singapore cane. Before he could, The Bees grabbed Credible by the legs and pulled him out of the ring, as the Coliseum erupted into cheers. A few minutes later, Bastien tagged back in and applied a Boston Crab to “Beautiful” Bobby, who didn’t look too beautiful, as he was covered in blood. Eaton tapped out to the Crab, which brought another big pop from the crowd, as The Redheads celebrated a huge win! The Bees applauded from the aisle, as Cornette flipped out over his team’s loss! ****½ 7) Mil Mascaras finally scored a pinfall over “The Big O.” Bob Orton, Sr. The luchador was definitely focused in this one, hardly giving Orton an inch. He hit several beautiful flying body presses throughout the bout. Orton got busted open and was reeling. A finally body press off the top put Orton down for the 1-2-3. The crowd cheered huge at seeing “The Man of 1,000 Masks” finally pin his rival! **½ 8) Sabu defeated Southern Heavyweight champ Dan Severn by countout in a non-title bout. The homicidal, suicidal, genocidal maniac attacked “The Beast” early on, trying to hurt Severn before his uncle, The Sheik, gets his title rematch. With a distraction from Abdullah Farouk, Sabu brought a chair in and executed an Arabian facebuster. Severn rolled out of the ring for a breather. Dick Hutton went over to coach him on the floor. Suddenly The Sheik ran down to ringside and nailed Hutton from behind. Farouk was again distracting Tommy Gilbert, as Sheik grabbed the chair Sabu had used moments before and nailed Severn twice with it. Sheik retreated to the locker room. Gilbert turned around and saw Severn on the floor and counted him out, giving Sabu the win. Frank Gotch came down afterwards, with his face bandaged up from Sheik’s fireball, to check on his fallen Team RPW members. ½* 9) Despite an arm injury, Nick Bockwinkel scored a big submission win over Giant Baba. Bockwinkel went for his sleeper early on, but Baba got to the ropes. Baba hit two dreaded neckbreaker drops. Bockwinkel kicked out of one, and on the second, Bobby Heenan put his foot on the bottom rope. Bockwinkel came back and worked over Baba’s ribs, applying the abdominal stretch several times. Baba made a comeback and went for an impressive dropkick, but missed and crashed hard into the mat. He landed badly on his leg, which Bock took advantage of, applying the figure-four leglock. Baba’s leg was too badly hurt from the landing and the Japanese giant tapped out. **** 10) Two more Heenan Family members were in the main event, as The Masked Superstar and King Kong Bundy put the World Tag Team titles on the line against former champs The Road Warriors. This was a back-and-forth bout between these four behemoths. The Legion of Doom hit a modified Doomsday Device on Bundy, with Animal lifting the big man slightly off his feet in a bear hug, rather than putting him on his shoulders. Superstar made the save for his partner. Superstar executed two spinning neckbreakers on Animal, but couldn’t keep him down. Later, Hawk had Bundy in the corner and went for a running shoulder tackle, but Bundy dodged it, causing Hawk to hit his shoulder hard on the ringpost. Bundy went for a cover, but only got two. Bobby “The Brain” Heenan got involved, distracting Paul Morton, while Superstar hit Animal in the back of the head with one of the tag title belts on the floor. The Road Warriors came back and Animal hit a big splash for a close one on Bundy. Bundy rolled out of the ring and Animal followed him. In the ring, Superstar stomped on Hawk’s hurt shoulder, then went after “Precious” Paul Ellering for no apparent reason. This distracted Morton. Heenan went around the ring to hit Animal with a chair, but Animal turned around in time and booted “The Brain” in the stomach. Animal grabbed the chair and blasted Bundy with it. Unfortunately, Morton happened to turn away from Superstar and Ellering to see Animal’s actions and called for the bell, disqualifying Hawk and Animal, and giving the champs the win. Fans were not happy about this one! Superstar and Bundy grabbed Heenan and the belts and made their way to the locker room, while The L.O.D. and Ellering stared them down from the ring. ***½ |

The Road Warriors got robbed in the main event.
Another huge upset was the Flying Redheads over the Midnight Express- I like how you are using Justin Credible as their bodyguard.
I'm also looking forward to seeing what happens next with Gotch and the other memebrs of Team RPW.
Rikidozan is on quite a winning streak, I wonder if he'll do as well for me when I bring him into my fed full time.
Awesome card Cory!

Another huge upset was the Flying Redheads over the Midnight Express- I like how you are using Justin Credible as their bodyguard. Thanks, Mr. V. When I brought in Justin, I wanted him to have a manager, so that he'd have a reason for the times he didn't get DQ'd for the Singapore cane. I didn't think Heenan or Albano was quite the fit for him, and I thought he'd make a good addition to the Midnights and Cornette, in a bodyguard, similar to Big Bubba Rogers. I think it's worked out pretty well. Justin's done a lot better in singles than I was expecting. |

Highlights from USWA Championship Wrestling on October 13:
• Perhaps the biggest news was the announcement that Antonio Inoki will defend the USWA World Heavyweight title on November 2 in Nashville against Nick Bockwinkel! There is so much history between these two men in their battles, primarily over the championship. This will be Bockwinkel’s first shot at the belt, since losing the title to Inoki in March at the Mid-South Coliseum.
• Another video aired from Texas, featuring “Dastardly” Danny Doring. This time Doring was in a “Texas bar”, sporting a cowboy hat and boots and trying to fit in with the locals. Bill Apter again interviewed Doring, who claimed that he wanted to get to know the people he would soon be representing. The Texans weren’t too fond of Doring’s attitude and chased him, Cousin Luke, and Virgil out of the bar!
• Texas champ Greg Valentine was interviewed about the title match and “The Hammer” stated that whether the Texas fans like him or not, he is their champion and he will put down Doring down, just like he has other recent opponents. Lance Russell than asked manager Capt. Lou Albano about his tag team that will soon be debuting. The Captain said that with things heating up in the tag team picture, his Killer Bees would beat all the competition, but especially The Killer Bees—as in B. Brian Blair and “Jumping” Jim Brunzell. Russell asked when Albano’s Bees would debut and the Capt. said they would arrive soon.
The USWA comes back to Dallas and the world famous Sportatorium on October 19!
• Two popular tag teams will do battle for the first time, as The Road Warriors do battle with “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka and Bruiser Brody! The Legion of Doom certainly want another shot at The Masked Superstar and King Kong Bundy, after their disappointing DQ loss. But of course Snuka and Brody are hoping to get back on their feet and get in the hunt. Which team will the fans side with? Remember, Brody is often quite popular in the Texas arenas.
• In another big tag team bout, The Midnight Express take on The Killer Bees. Both teams got involved in the other’s bout on the last card. This bout could be very important in determining future challengers for the World Tag Team titles.
• Former World Heavyweight champion Ed “Strangler” Lewis will wrestle his first bout since losing the gold, when he takes on Bob Orton, Sr. Lewis is hoping to get back in the title hunt, but don’t look past Orton, as “The Big O.” has two victories (one by DQ and the other by pinfall) over Lewis this year.
• A huge six-man tag team bout will take place, as Heenan Family members Nick Bockwinkel and USWA World Tag Team champions The Masked Superstar and King Kong Bundy will face the undefeated Rikidozan, Giant Baba, and “The Man of 1,000 Masks” Mil Mascaras. The popular international wrestlers continue their feud with the Heenan Family. Bockwinkel and Mascaras will certainly want to face off, due to their heated rivalry. Superstar put out Baba twice this year with neck injuries. Many USWA fans are interested at the possibility of Bockwinkel and Rikidozan locking up for the first time. Remember, back in July when Baba and Bock met at Budokan Hall in Japan, Bockwinkel and Rikidozan had some heated words. Who will win this huge six-man war?
• Greg “The Hammer” Valentine will make his first defense of the USWA Texas championship against the wannabe Texan “Dastardly” Danny Doring. Doring is looking to continue his recent success, having injured Koko B. Ware and S.D. Jones, as well as pinning Billy Red Lyons in a tag bout, thanks to his Danaconda. But Valentine is also on a roll. Who will leave the Sportatorium with the gold?
• The main event will be a huge rematch, as Dan “The Beast” Severn will defend the USWA Southern Heavyweight title against former champion The Sheik! These two had one of the bloodiest bouts in USWA history, when Severn became the first man to pin The Sheik in a one-on-one bout. But will Sheik and Sabu’s attack on Severn on the last card, as well as Sheik’s quick work of Frank Gotch affect “The Beast”?
All this plus, Justin Credible takes on Sabu in what will certainly be a wild brawl! The Flying Redheads in action, and a special appearance by the high flying Argentinian—Antonino Rocca!

NEWS FLASH SHEIK REGAINS THE BELT The Sheik captured his second USWA Southern Heavyweight title on October 19 in Dallas, after a controversial and wild match with Dan "The Beast" Severn. Sheik tried to jump the champion at the bell, but got caught in Severn's wakigatame armbar right away. Sheik managed to get out and threw one of his deadly fireballs at Severn. This gave the challenger the advantage for much of the match. Severn fought hard, but couldn't overcome the burns of the fireball. Sheik scored a submission with his Camel Clutch, which didn't sit too well with the Sportatorium fans! Full results to come! |

October 19, 2007
Card #146: Sportatorium in Dallas
1) “Playboy” Buddy Rose got a win in the opener, but needed some help to defeat Virgil. The bodyguard started off with fists of fury against Rose, hoping to score his second win over the former World champ. “Sensational” Sherri Martel distracted Kevin Christian and “accidentally” dropped her purse into the ring. Rose grabbed it, blasted Virgil with it, then made a cover to score the pinfall after just a few minutes. ½*
2) Justin Credible scored a big pinfall win over Sabu in a short brawl. Sabu managed to execute his Arabian facebuster in the first minute, but couldn’t maintain control. Justin hit That’s Incredible, but only got a two-count. He decided to go with his other “specialty”—the Singapore cane. While Jim Cornette caused a distraction, arguing with Abdullah Farouk at ringside, Credible cracked Sabu with the cane. The shot was enough to keep Sabu down for the count. *¼
3) Frank Gotch and Richard Hutton scored a win over The Flying Redheads in a great tag team bout. Gotch was sporting bandages on his face, thanks to The Sheik’s fireball from last week. These two teams have had some great bouts in the past and this one did not disappoint. The Redheads looked like they would repeat their success from the last card and score a win here. Billy Red Lyons locked Hutton in his sleeper and held it on for nearly two minutes, yet somehow the Oklahoman managed to survive. Hutton received a cut on his forehead during the match, but came back and tagged out to Gotch. Red Bastien got caught in the Gotch Toehold, but made the ropes. Later, Gotch caught Lyons in his rolling knee bar and held it on for several minutes, before Lyons finally gave in. Gotch helped Lyons to his feet afterwards and both teams shook hands, showing the respect they have for one another. The Sportatorium fans were appreciative of the action. ****
4) Jimmy Snuka and Bruiser Brody got a very impressive win in a hard-hitting tag bout over The Road Warriors. Brody and Snuka were heavily favored in this one, due to Brody’s popularity in the Lone Star State. Fans didn’t boo The Legion of Doom, but they heavily supported Brody and the “Superfly”. These two teams seemed to use everything in their arsenal against each other, but couldn’t keep one another down. Brody got a nearfall early on Hawk after a twisting vertical suplex. Animal slammed Brody not once, but twice with his power slam, but Brody kicked out. Brody later hit Animal with his finisher—the jumping knee drop, but Animal kicked out. Later Snuka was in with Hawk. He climbed up to the top turnbuckle, while Hawk was on his feet. Brody quickly jumped in and launched his partner off the top turnbuckle. Snuka smash Hawk with a flying head butt. “Superfly” went for a cover, while Brody nailed the intervening Animal with a big boot to the face, and Snuka and Brody got the clean pinfall. The Sportatorium popped huge. Afterwards the teams slapped hands in their way of showing respect for one another. ***½
5) In a special attraction, the Argentinian superstar Antonino Rocca made short work of Cousin Luke. The fast-paced Rocca dazzled the hillbilly with his “foot slaps”, then took him down into his unique handstand grapevine. The match only lasted a few minutes, as Rocca lifted up Luke across his back into his Argentinian Backbreaker and got the submission. Rocca got a lot of cheers from the Dallas crowd, even in this brief bout. DUD
6) Bob Orton, Sr. got a win over Ed “Strangler” Lewis, although he didn’t do it alone. Orton and Bobby “The Brain” Heenan came to the ring first. As Lewis made his way down the aisle, he was attacked from behind by Nick Bockwinkel! Bockwinkel nailed Lewis with a steel chair to the back, then pounded away on the “Strangler’s” neck. Several USWA officials finally got Bockwinkel to leave Lewis alone, but the damage had been done. Frank Morrell asked Lewis if he wanted to continue. Not surprisingly, Lewis showed his great courage and tenacity in agreeing to take the match. “The Big O.” pounded away on Lewis. He hit the piledriver, but somehow Lewis got a foot on the bottom ropes. Orton continued the attack on the neck and scored the pinfall after a neckbreaker. Lewis had to be helped to the back by officials. Negative*
7) The Killer Bees continued their winning ways with a “sneaky” win over The Midnight Express. It looked like The Midnights had things going their way, as they tagged in and out on B. Brian Blair. “Loverboy” Dennis hit two face-first leg sweeps, and he and “Beautiful” Bobby followed up with the Double Goozle. Condrey sent Blair into the ropes, where Jim Cornette was waiting and tripped him up. Condrey started choking Blair on the ropes. “Jumping” Jim Brunzell ran around the ring, while Kevin Christian was holding Condrey back. Brunzell nailed Cornette with one of his killer dropkicks, then threw Justin Credible into the ringpost. He pulled out the Bees’ masks and he and Blair put them on. Brunzell switched places, then “played dead”. Condrey went to pick him up, but got rolled into a small package for a very near fall. Brunzell hit the “Loverboy” with two dropkicks then jumped on him for the 1-2-3. The crowd popped big at this huge win for The Bees! **¼
8) Rikidozan, Giant Baba, and Mil Mascaras defeated The Heenan Family trio of Nick Bockwinkel and the World Tag Team champions The Masked Superstar and King Kong Bundy in a great six-man tag team match. The two masked wrestlers started off against each other, but soon the big Baba was in. The Heenan Family kept the Japanese giant in the ring for quite some time. Bundy hit Baba with the Avalanche, but Baba managed to kick out. With Bockwinkel in, Baba tagged out to Rikidozan. The crowd went wild at seeing Rikidozan and Bockwinkel in the ring together. The Japanese superstar gave Bock quite the beating, nailing him with a piledriver and going for a cover, but Bobby Heenan put Bockwinkel’s foot on the bottom rope. Rikidozan allowed Mascaras to come in and get some action against his rival. Eventually Bock tagged back out to the big Bundy. The popular international wrestlers wore the big man down and kept him in the ring. Bundy took a Mascaras flying body press, as well as the dreaded neckbreaker drop from Baba, but was saved by Superstar. Baba was able to take him down with a Russian leg sweep, but still only got a two-count. Rikidozan came back in and was able, after some struggling, to turn Bundy over in a Boston Crab. Baba and Mascaras kept Superstar and Bockwinkel at bay on the floor, while Bundy tapped out to the hold in the center of the ring. ***¾
9) Greg “The Hammer” Valentine retained the USWA Texas championship over “Dastardly” Danny Doring, in what was surprisingly a very competitive match. The Dallas fans sided with the champ, as Doring was still trying to be a Texan, but his purple cowboy hat (to match his ring robe and wrestling gear) didn’t endear him to the Sportatorium! Doring was focused and wanted to prove he was no joke. He hit the Wham, Bam, Thank you Ma’am for a nearfall. The champ’s strategy was to focus his attack on Doring’s legs and he used the figure-four leglock on several occasions. Valentine hit a falling sledge from the top rope, which busted Doring open. “The Hammer” went for another figure-four, but the “Dastardly One” rolled him into a small package for very near fall. Valentine came back and again locked on the leglock. With blood streaming down his face, Doring was left with no choice but to surrender. ****
10) As reported on in the last update, The Sheik captured his second USWA Southern Heavyweight championship from Dan “The Beast” Severn. Sheik tried to jump the champion at the bell, but got caught in Severn's wakigatame armbar right away. With his turban still on, Sheik was locked in the armbar for nearly two minutes, but managed to reach the ropes and roll out of the ring, taking Severn with him. While Abdullah Farouk had Jerry Calhoun distracted, Sheik threw one of his deadly fireballs at Severn. This gave the challenger the advantage for much of the match. Sheik locked on the Camel Clutch, pounding away at Severn’s burns and busting him open. Richard Hutton got on the apron to try and protest to Calhoun what happened. Sheik let go of the hold and nailed Hutton with a thrust to the throat. Severn momentarily recovered and locked on the wakigatame again, but Sheik was too close to the ropes right away. Severn fought hard, was weakened from the fireball and the blood loss. Sheik locked on the Camel Clutch again and got the submission and the Southern gold. The Sportatorium fans pelted the ring with garbage at this decision. Frank Gotch came down to check on Severn, and he and Hutton helped him to the back. ***
In the next update, Nick Bockwinkel gives his reasons for his attack on Ed "Strangler" Lewis, plus an update on Lewis. Also, a special card announced for November, and the preview for Card #147!

• On the October 20 episode of USWA Championship Wrestling, Nick Bockwinkel explained his attack on Ed “Strangler” Lewis. The two-time USWA World Heavyweight champion stated that he was “giving the fans what they wanted to see”. Bockwinkel talked about “Strangler’s” arrival in the USWA last year at New Year’s Knockout III, when after serving as special guest referee, Lewis challenged, then-champion Bock to a title match and proceeded to take him down in the Strangler’s Headlock. He reminded the fans that shortly after Lewis’ official debut, Bockwinkel lost the championship and was sidelined with a concussion. He stated that because of him (Bockwinkel), Lewis won the championship from Antonio Inoki. He said that without his help, “Strangler” lost the belt back. Bockwinkel claimed that Lewis has been avoiding him and is afraid to face him in a sanctioned match. He challenged Lewis to a one-on-one match. Bockwinkel said he will prove that he is the better wrestler and that Lewis is a flash-in-the-pan.
• As for the “Strangler”, the former champ suffered a neck injury and will be out of action for a few weeks. There was no response from his at this point about Bockwinkel’s challenge.
• On the October 27 edition, USWA Committee member Jerry Jarrett announced that in honor of the USWA’s 150th card, a special event will be held on November 22—Thanksgiving night at the Louisville Gardens! He said that the Committee is attempting to get some huge bouts signed for that night. Matches will be announced in the coming weeks.
• Also, it was announced that The Masked Superstar and King Kong Bundy will make their next defense of the USWA World Tag Team titles on November 9 at the Rupp Arena in Lexington against The Killer Bees. Lance Russell interviewed the upcoming challengers, who still have yet to lose via pinfall or submission since their return. B. Brian Blair said that they are excited, as this will actually be The Bees’ first shot ever at the titles. Russell asked their thoughts on Capt. Lou Albano’s threat of his Killer Bees. “Jumping” Jim Brunzell responded by saying that he thinks the rubber bands have cut off the circulation to Albano’s brain! The Bees said that whoever these “fake Bees” are, they won’t compare to the real deal.
The USWA returns to the Municipal Auditorium in Nashville on November 2. A HUGE night of action will take place!
• Two tag teams in need of a win will do battle again, as former World Tag Team champions The Midnight Express will face The Flying Redheads! The Redheads scored a big win on “Beautiful” Bobby and “Loverboy” Dennis on Card #145. Will history repeat itself?
• The World Tag Team champs will also be in action, as The Masked Superstar and King Kong Bundy face “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka and Bruiser Brody in a non-title contest. Brody and Snuka are fresh off their win over The Road Warriors. A win over the champs would almost certainly earn them a title bout. Who will win this hard hitting tag bout?
• Southern Heavyweight champion The Sheik is a wanted man! He’ll team up with his nephew Sabu to battle Team RPW members Frank Gotch and Dan “The Beast” Severn. Severn is looking to get his hands on The Sheik, after feeling the effects of his fireball and losing the Southern gold. Gotch has battled Sheik on numerous occasions and ironically also lost the Southern belt to Sheik. He also was recently blasted with the fireball. This is a tag team war!
• The main event will be for the World Heavyweight championship, as Antonio Inoki puts the gold on the line against his rival Nick Bockwinkel! Bockwinkel is looking for a record third World title here. His arm is still sore from Mil Mascaras’ attack from a few weeks ago, but he looked impressive in a win over Giant Baba. The Municpal Auditorium hosted a World title bout between these two at this same time last year. Then-champion Bockwinkel came out the victory via countout in a wild bout. Can Bockwinkel regain the gold or will the Japanese sensation reign supreme?
The Killer Bees will also face Cousin Luke and Virgil in a rematch before their big Tag Team title shot! Plus the undefeated Rikidozan in action, and “Special Delivery” Jones returns from injury looking for revenge on “Dastardly” Danny Doring!
