Match Rating *****Match Eight: For the TCW Tag Team Belts- The Kamikazes defeat the Marlboro men A great tag match but Bockwinkel seemed a bit distracted probably because of his match later with LWA Champion Terry Gordy. Early on Bockwinkel attempted to lock in a couple figure fours in this match but couldn’t get it right. Stevens locked one in hurting Baba and tagged in Bock but still Bockwinkel does not seemed to be mentally in the game.
Baba chops Bockwinkel after a break in the action, throws Bockwinkel into the ropes and executes a perfect shoulder tackle followed by a suplex that seems to hurt Nick and then Baba tags in Inoki. Inoki slaps on a Cobra twist and then attempts a pin and Bockwinkel kicks out at two as Bobby Heenan tries to interfere, but Antonio Inoki clotheslines Bobby Heenan and then delivers an Enzigiri to Bockwinkel and covers.
Heenan is down, Baba goes after Stevens and Inoki gets the three count on Bockwinkel in 36 minutes even.

The three men each raise their championship belts as half the crowd cheers and the other half boo.
Match Nine: The LWA Champion Terry Gordy in a Non Title match again Nick BockwinkelGordy took control of this match early on and seemed to dominate but Bockwinkel just would not quit.

Gordy decides to club Bockwinkel by jumping down from the top rope but at the last second Bockwinkel moves out of the way and Gordy hits the steel rail. As Gordy attempts to get back in the ring Bockwinkel chokes Gordy with the ropes and Gordy falls back to the cement floor.

Stevens who is at ringside jumps up on the other side of the canvas and hits Gordy in the back of the head with something. Gordy is out on the canvas and Bockwinkel is shaking the cobwebs out. Bockwinkel locks in the Figure four on a lifeless Gordy and somehow Gordy reaches back and grabs the rope. The referee breaks the hold as Bockwinkel argues.
