Posted March 24, 201015 yr comment_5448569 David Von Erich starts the show by talking about the bounty that is on the heads of the Von Erichs and he knows who is in charge but won't say. David Von Erich vs. "Captain" Frank Dusek (10/12/82) Dusek has the PINK PANTHER on his robe and that's awesome. Very sparse crowd here as World Class was struggling here somewhat but help is on the way later in the show. Nothing much to this. Checkmate (Tony Charles) & Magic Dragon vs. "Supersock" Jose Lothario & Al Madril (10/12/82) Bugsy McGraw was sitting in the crowd during the match eating popcorn and talking to the fans. I dug the Checkmate/Lothario matwork here as Lothario finally had someone he could take it to the mat and they worked in a little Euro style matwork. Madril & Dragon had a decent exchange featuring some good slaps to the chest before Checkmate/Lothario came back in where Lothario worked FIP and he was fine but the heel control section was a bunch of nothing but working an armbar. Madril would get the hot tag and the faces took turns working over Checkmate with the fans loving it until Checkmate hit a leaping headbutt to Madril's ribs so he could tag Dragon back in. Dragon did his backflips into a thrust kick but missed a SOMERSAULT SENTON off the top rope allowing Madril to make a short lived comeback as he would soon get trapped in the heel corner. Checkmate would miss his running headbutt though and took a nice bump through the ropes to the floor before Madril would go for the mask which would lead to a 4-way brawl but didn't last long. Lothario would finally get tagged in legally and he went to town on the heels including a dropkick on Dragon but time would run out as Madril would get a sunset flip on Dragon. This was an interesting match with odd pacing and it had some really fun spots and I'm going to throw it on the block as a low-end nomination. Ric Flair is then interviewed about the bounty on Kerry and he said that he has no idea about it and that it is a ridiculous claim. This is a great promo and extra material. Gran Markus II vs. Samu (10/12/82) Really odd seeing Samu in black tights, kneepads, and boots. Jay Saldi on commentary openly talks about Samu's dad and uncle being Afa & Sika which was interesting. Michael Hayes vs. Roberto Renesto (10/12/82) Hayes makes his debut here but since this is 24/7 of course they cut the intros. A new era is born here. This closes out with a promo by Wild Bill Irwin who said that he would shut Hayes up on the next show.
