---Coss interviews Oliver.  He says he is sick of facing everybody but the Grappler and wants Don Owen to book him against Grappler.

 

 ---Match #4: PNW tag team champs the Wrecking Crew (Grappler/Brian Adams) vs. the Southern Rockers (Steve Doll/Rex King).  People use to complain about Tony Schiavone ignoring the matches in the ring, but I don't think Coss and Scotty were even aware matches were taking place.  Regardless, they are my all-time favorite announce team.  Finish sees King pin Grappler and Adams pin Doll at the same time.  Confusion ensues as nobody knows what the ruling will be.  Barr takes the belts and says he is going to Don Owen for an official ruling.   

 

---Coss interviews the Southern Rockers & Bill Prescott.  Sandy Barr comes out to give the ruling, but Grappler and Adams interrupt and start screaming that they won.  Barr says that Owen ruled a rematch would be held next week and the belts were held up until then.  Both teams take turns cutting promos about next weeks rematch.

 

 ---Match #5: Beetlejuice vs. Jonathan Holliday.  Barry Owen did the ring introductions.  I guess Don was busy in the back preparing for next week's debut of Curtis Thompson.  We get a split-screen promo from the Southern Rockers, Ginger, and Bill Prescott.  Next week: Southern Rockers vs. Wrecking Crew, Ginger vs. Veronica in a hair match, and the debut of Curtis Thompson.  No finish was shown to the match.

 

 -Closing montage.  Everyone is chomping at the bit for the big Rip Oliver/Grappler showdown, but it still doesn't look like it's getting any closer.
