DICK HUTTON def. GEORGE SOUTH
Hutton opened the night's wrestling action by controlling most of the contest. South got in a few flurries of offense, but Hutton won with the Abdominal Stretch.
S.D. JONES/VIRGIL def. SAMOAN ISLAND TRIBE
An excellent tag team contest, but Lou Albano was noticeably absent from ringside. This one went back and forth before S.D. took the pin with a headbutt on Samu.

WORLD SIX-MAN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
ANTONINO ROCCA/ILIO DIPAOLO/PEPPER GOMEZ def. THE RUSSIANS (ch) by D.Q.
George Hackenschmidt, Ivan Koloff and Nikolai Volkoff opened SummerSlam by defending the six-man tag team titles in a one-fall match. DiPaolo took a beating from Koloff's chain and the bearhug. Rocca turned things around with his offense against Volkoff. Gomez rolled up Hackenschmidt for a nearfall. Rocca twice used the backbreaker on Hackenschmidt, bringing the other Russians into the ring. The tide turned and Gomez found himself in a lot of trouble. He escaped to tag DiPaolo. The Russians charged in again after the Airplane Spin. This time the bell rang, giving the challengers the win by disqualification. During the post-match brawl, Playboy Buddy Rose ran in to jump Rocca from behind, as these two will face off tomorrow in Puerto Rico for the WWC Universal heavyweight title.
LARRY HENNIG def. DR. TOM PRICHARD
Prichard strutted to the ring with his new manager the Sensational Sherri Martel. He got off to a fast start against the Axe, but couldn't put him down after twice using a foreign object. Hennig moved out of the way as Prichard came off the top rope. He loaded up and blasted him with the Axe for the pin as Sherri was unable to make it into the ring in time.
TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
KOKO B. WARE def. BRAD ARMSTRONG and RED BASTIEN
Red Bastien started off on fire, but soon it was all three battling back and forth for the advantage. Koko sent Red off the top turnbuckle to the floor, and nailed Brad with the Ghostbuster to score the pin.
DESTROYER def. ED LEWIS
A top notch wrestling classic between these two. First it was the Destroyer in charge, then Lewis. The Destroyer kept the pressure on and was able to wear Lewis out to win with the Figure Four.
NWA WOMENS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
MADUSA MICELI (ch) def. PRINCESS VICTORIA
The champ really dominated the action, but Victoria wouldn't go away. Madusa was having a hard time putting an end to the match. Madusa whethered all the comebacks and took the win after coming off the top rope.
FRANK GOTCH 10 MATCH TRIAL SERIES #9
FRANK GOTCH def. JIM LONDOS
An awesome wrestling display. Gotch really stayed on top of Londos nearly the entire bout. Both men had chances to claim victory, but Gotch used the Toe Hold and then a rolling kneebar to finish off Londos.
NWA WORLD TV TITLE
BOB ARMSTRONG def. STAN LANE (ch) by C.O.
The challenger really took the fight to the champ and came so close to taking the title. He locked the sleeper in tight, and Sherri Martel had to help keep the match going for Lane. The champ got in some shots and with Sherri's help almost secured the win. Twice they brawled on the floor, and the second time Armstrong laid out Lane. It looked like Lane could have possibly gotten back in the ring in time, but he was counted out, and left with the belt.
HANDICAP MATCH
BRUTUS BEEFCAKE def. GREG VALENTINE/LOU ALBANO
Beefcake and the Hammer have been feuding ever since Valentine and Alabano dumped him, and gave the U.S. tag team titles to the Valiants by leaving him alone in the ring. This was Beefcake's chance to get Albano in the ring with him. Beefcake and Valentine went toe to toe to start things out. Albano came in, and was quickly in a lot of trouble and the Hammer made the save. Beefcake sent Valentine to the floor, and pinned Albano after a flying knee.
TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
NWA WORLD JR. HVYWT. CHAMPIONSHIP
JD MICHAELS (ch) def. JUSHIN THUNDER LIGER and GORGEOUS GEORGE
Only two days ago at ECW Hardcore Heaven, JD Michaels upset Liger to win the NWA World Jr. title in his first title defense after winning a 32-man tournament. Liger had been signed to defend at SummerSlam against Gorgeous George, but the match was turned into a Triple Threat.
This one had the crowd amazed and on their feet at the tremendous action. All three went at it tooth and nail, in and out of the ring, using the top rope and the floor to their advantage, while each making saves to keep the match going. JD had April Hunter at ringside, and George had Cherie Dupree, and the ladies also got involved in the match, as well as fighting amongst themselves. JD Michaels hit a pair of top rope elbow smashes while George was down and scored another gigantic victory to retain the World Jr. heavyweight title.
U.S. TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
VALIANTS (ch) def. NAPTOWN DRAGONS
The Naptown Dragons knocked off the then U.S. tag champs the Armstrongs in the first round of the Intercontinental tag team title tournament, and that garnered them this title shot. Lee and Vortekz came close to taking the gold away from Albano's men. Johnny Valiant took a beating, but finally got the tag to Jimmy. The match kept going with each team looking good, but Johnny hit a pair of neckbreakers on Vortekz to win the match and hold onto the U.S. tag team titles.
DON MURACO def. KILLER KOWALSKI
Last week on USWA Glory, Kowalski and Muraco were the last two left in a battle royal for a U.S. title match. Kowalski then turned on Muraco and dumped him out of the ring. However, Sherri Martel came out to announce she already had a title shot signed for her newest charge Ravishing Rick Rude, and this match was signed for SummerSlam.
Kowalsk stormed into Muraco, nearly beating him in no time at all. He battered Muraco around the outside, but it was then that the tide turned. Muraco took advantage and back in the ring used the Hawaiian Hammer to down Kowalski for the pin.
HARLEY RACE def. BUDDY ROGERS by D.Q.
Once more, last week on USWA Glory these two Legends engaged in a spectacular contest that saw Race get the win after almost 30 minutes of wrestling action. The Nature Boy asked for a rematch here at SummerSlam.
Race started out completely in charge. Rogers managed to get some offense going, but Race had the upperhand most of the time. Rogers was becoming very frustrated, and finally lost it on the outside, smashing Race with a steel chair.
U.S. HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
CURT HENNIG (ch) def. RICK RUDE
This one was very intense as it was Rude coming out of nowhere with Sherri Martel as his manager last week and announcing he would be challenging for the U.S. title. Before that, he had been in ICW and a member of the Heenan Family.
Hennig wasted no time in putting his stamp on the match, and hit the Perfect Plex. Rude put up a good fight, but Hennig took the win with the Perfect Plex. The Heavenly Bodies, Stan Lane and Tom Prichard, then ran out to triple team the champ under the direction of Sherri Martel. This continued until Harley Race and Larry Hennig were able to put a stop to it.
LADDER MATCH
WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
ROAD WARRIORS (ch) def. KANGAROOS
These two top notch teams went at it one more time in an absolutely brutal Ladder Match. All four men fought hard and endured massive amounts of punshiment. This one could have gone either way on so many occasions, but it was Hawk and Animal coming away victorious.
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
MIL MASCARAS (ch) def. JIMMY SNUKA
The Superfly received his shot at getting the title back, one that he never lost in the ring. His feud with Bruiser Brody found itself in a Hell in a Cell match, but he participated in that match against the orders of the championship committee, and was stripped of the title.
The champ looked so good, but the Superfly never stopped fighting back. Snuka took all sorts of high-flying moves from Mascaras. The Mexican Legend took control once more and was able to get the pin with another top rope flying crossbody to retain the world title.
