PRE SHOW - Razor def. Kevin Von Erich in 6:43 by pinfall
SEGMENT 1 - AWA's first PPV show of the year is taking place. We remember Sid taking the AWA World title at the last Championship Wrestling show. Thus, the triple threat match to be held tonight has turned into a fatal four-way match. Trongard asks Reed if he has any regrets. On the contrary, Reed was very happy. In fact, with this decision he made, he increased the competition.
SEGMENT 2 - AWA World Tag Team Championship | The Rock 'n' Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson) def. Badd Company (Pat Tanaka and Paul Diamond) (c) in 13:55 - Morton and Gibson win the match with a double dropkick and take the tag titles.
SEGMENT 3 - Tables Match | Mick Foley defeated Sabu (w/Rob Van Dam) in 10:30 - It's a brand new type of match for the AWA and the pro wrestling world. It is seen that some spectators are uncomfortable when the match is quite tough and bloody. Foley wins the match by with a Double Arm DDT to the table.
SEGMENT 4 - We learn that Jerry Lawler will not be playing due to being on another show tonight. The AWA championship contendar match with Baron von Raschke has been moved to Monday (AWA Championship Wrestling).
SEGMENT 5 - United Nations of Terror and Diamond Dallas Page are cutting promo before the next game. His opponents will be Tom Zenk, Owen Hart and Bam Bam Bigelow. We see that this six-team match is the tool of DDP. He says he continues to make Zenk do what he wants, and this match is a sign of that.
SEGMENT 6 - Six-Man Tag Team Match | Diamond Dallas Page and United Nations of Terror (w/Adnan Al-Kaissie) def. Tom Zenk, Owen Hart and Bam Bam Bigelow in 8:33 - DDP hits Zenk with a low blow and finds the button, without ignoring the referee.
SEGMENT 7 - As the steel cage descends for the next match, we recall what has happened so far between Blanchard and Pillman.
SEGMENT 8 - Steel Cage Match | Brian Pillman def. Tully Blanchard in 12:03 - After Pillman caught his opponent trying to escape from the cage at the last moment and threw him into the ring, he himself escaped from the cage and thus won the match.
SEGMENT 9 - Before the main event, Cornette and fresh champion Sid cut the promo. They talk about Sid's surprise win in last week's match. "Don't get your hopes up, it won't be such a big surprise tonight," he says.
SEGMENT 10 - AWA World Heavyweight Championship | Fatal Four Way Match | Larry Zbyszko def. Sid (c) (w/Jim Cornette), Ricky Steamboat and Wahoo McDaniel in 17:54 - Zbyszko is left alone in the ring with McDaniel as Sid and Steamboat duo beat each other outside the ring with a chair and fainted at the end of the match. Immediately, LarryLand Dream hooks up and makes his opponent surrender and takes the AWA World title for the third time!
