AWA International Television Title: Diamond Dallas Page
AWA World Tag Team Titles: Dean Malenko and Chris Benoit

(PRE-SHOW) The Samoan Lancers (Fatu and Samu) (w/Afa) defeated Dr. Painkiller and Sean Morley (w/Tim Runnel) in 6:53 Samu pinned Painkiller with Double Diving Headbutt. Painkiller put up a bad match tonight as he wasn't in great shape. With this match, Samu's performance skills improved. (PRE-SHOW) Mike Enos (w/Adnan Al-Kaissie) defeated Mr. Sandman in 8:27 Enos pinned Sandman with Super Fallaway Slam. During the match, Adnan accidentally hit Enos. But Enos still didn't hit the pin and then he managed to turn the match in his favor and win. With this match, Sandman's performance skills improved. Team Challenge Series – Semi Final | Model Antagonists (Diamond Dallas Page and Greg Valentine) defeated Cave State Boys (Bart Sawyer and Leif Cassidy) in 9:21 Valentine pinned Sawyer with Piledriver. With this match, DDP and Valentine's performance skills improved. SEGMENT - Jesse Ventura, who has not been around for a long time, gives a small interview to Eric Bischoff. Ventura tells him that he has returned to the company with brand new ideas. Once again, he wants everyone to be ready for the big "change" that will happen soon. Lanny The Clever defeated Dynamite Kid in 10:07 Lanny pinned Dynamite Kid with Honor Roll. Lanny has worked very well with this opponent as well. So shockingly, Dynamite Kid didn't make much of a presence throughout the match. However, at the end, when Dynamite was very close to attacking and finding the pin for the match, the young name Chris Candido, who came from the back of the stage, intervenes in the match and trips him with his hand as Dynamite comes from the ropes. After Lanny regains the lead and wins the match, he looks at Candido outside the ring. Candido watches him with admiring eyes. Young Candido thus became the heel. Jerry Lawler defeated Jeff Jarrett in 8:47 Lawler pinned Jarrett with Diving Fist Drop. According to the agreement, Lawler, who was sure that Racket Club would not disturb him until the TCS show, had this match arranged voluntarily in this show. However, during the match, Terry Mawashi from Racket Club came to the ringside and started to watch the match. Although he does not interfere with the match, he tries to distract. Lawler still wins the match. Team Challenge Series – Semi Final | The Asylum Inhabitants (Bob Backlund and Mick Foley) defeated The Can-Am Express (Doug Furnas and Phil LaFon) (w/Paul Ellering) in 11:32 Foley pinned Furnas with Double Arm DDT. At the end of the match, this time Lawler comes to the ringside, distracting Ellering and the Furnas/LaFon duo in the ring. Not long after, Mawashi comes running in and gets into a fight with Lawler outside the ring. Racket Club members in the ring, who pay attention to this fight, also lose their superiority and Foley finds the pin. Thus, the Backlund/Foley duo make their way to the shocking finale out of the blue. Backlund stands in the middle of the ring, shocked, without expression. Foley bursts into tears. But at the same time, he is laughing out loud. With this match, LaFon's technical skills improved. This match steals show. Youthquake Combat Class (Brian Pillman, Dean Malenko and Chris Benoit) defeated Larry Zbyszko, King Kong Bundy and Red Hook Machine (w/Jesse Ventura) in 19:03 Pillman pinned Zbyszko with flash pinfall. After the match, the heel team does not admit defeat and as soon as the bell rings, they attack their opponents again. After a long attack, the YCC team faints on the ground. Dynamite Kid and Dave Taylor duo come to the rescue. The Heel team immediately leaves the ring and at the entrance raise their hands up to declare themselves the “winners”. Benoit's rumble and performance skills improved with this match. 🏆 Team Challenge Series – Final | The Asylum Inhabitants (Bob Backlund and Mick Foley) defeated Model Antagonists (Diamond Dallas Page and Greg Valentine) in 15:21 DDP wins the match by pointing a finger at the opponent's eye, without ignoring the referee at first. However, Frank Reed, who comes backstage, tells the referees what happened and restarts the final match. As the match continues, this time, former AWA International Television champion Owen Hart comes to the ringside with Jackie Fargo. DDP locks directly on him and verbal exchange begins. After a while, Owen takes DDP's belt and goes backstage, and DDP starts yelling at him from the ring. Meanwhile, Backlund, approaching from behind, finds the pin with a flash pinfall and the Backlund/Foley duo wins the Team Challenge Series tournament! DDP and Valentine can't believe what's going on. After the match, Frank Reed personally presents the winning team with a $500,000 cash prize in a bag. Backlund and Foley are not quite sure what to do with the money, so they open the bag and spill all the banknotes on the floor. Then they dive headfirst into these banknotes and start swimming in them. The show ends with these images.

Pretty good show overall, with the outcast duo picking up the win in the tournament. Amazing scenes as Foley and Backlund swim in a mat full of money. The rest of the card is pretty fine too, with time for a Mid-South classic rivalry to develop and a the super trio of Y.C.C.

So different! In a great way though! It's fun to read something so different like what you are doing.
I am really enjoying a lot of your original teams. Jerry Lawler seems to be kicking ass too!

SEGMENT - Jesse Ventura comes to Frank Reed's office and has a secret meeting with him. He says he will reveal the person behind Rental Killers, but in return he wants Red Hook Machine to be made a Crockett Cup 1992 finalist directly. Frank rejects this outright and kicks him out of his office. This segment was one of the top-rated segments on the shows during 1992.
SEGMENT - Jerry Lawler challenges Terry Mawashi and the entire Racket Club for tonight after what happened last night. Now he wants to finish the job. With no response from Mawashi or any Racket Club member, the match is announced for next week.

Late in the match, the referee is knocked down when Dynamite accidentally hits him. In this way, Zbyszko knocks out Dynamite by tying LarryLand Dreamer with a gauze, as he often did in matches last year. When the referee regains himself, he gives the match to Zbyszko. "This is bullshit," Pillman jumps up and finds the gauze and shows it to the referee. The referee changes his decision and gives the match to Dynamite with disqualification. Zbyszko gets very angry. The chemistry of Zbyszko and Dynamite Kid didn't really work. But despite this, this segment received a good rating.
SEGMENT - We learn that Ventura will make an important announcement next week.

Good show I'd say. We have the Y.C.C. involved in the main event finish and in the title picture, so, that's a plus. I really want to see Y.C.C. vs. Los Tiradores ("El" is singular / "Los" is plural) too, as it will probably get you a good rating.
