The 25 Days of Von Erichs – Day Nineteen

By Rock Star Gary on 15 December 2023

With a week until Iron Claw is released, I present to you genuine moments in World Class Championship Wrestling history in chronological order.

Today, we look at May 12, 1984 from Texas Stadium:

The Missing Link (w/ Gen. Skandor Akbar) beat Junkyard Dog.

“Iceman” King Parsons & “Rock’n’Roll” Buck Zumhofe defeated the Super Destroyers to become NWA American tag team champions.

Match 3 for the World Class World Six-Man titles (Badstreet): The Freebirds (champions) versus the Von Erichs

Highlights:

  • In case it’s not obvious, Badstreet meant no rules.
  • Also, joining his sons Kevin and Mike, Fritz came out of retirement solely for this match. Should the Von Erichs attain the titles, Fritz will bestow his portion to Kerry.
  • Before the match began, referee David Manning declared the only rule will be that it will be a tag team match and not Texas tornado-style.
  • Kevin gave Roberts a HARD cross corner whip to injure the back.
  • When Mike tagged in, Lowrance sang Fritz’s praises.
  • Hayes tagged in, slammed Mike, mounted the second turnbuckle, but missed a splash.
  • As Fritz tagged in, the Irving faithful went APESHIT!
  • While Mike held Hayes at bay, Fritz removed his belt and tanned Hayes’ hide.
  • Hayes tagged in and scored with a lariat to Kevin.
  • After he removed his boot, Hayes WALLOPED Kevin with it.
  • Roberts tagged in and rammed his nickel-steel belt buckle into Kevin’s head.
  • When Fritz tagged in, he blasted Hayes and Roberts with a double noggin knocker.
  • He provided the BUSTED OPEN Hayes with an Iron claw.
  • As Roberts leaped from the top turnbuckle, Fritz applied an Iron claw to him as well.
  • Gordy made the save and CRACKED Fritz over the head with his boot.
  • After Fritz and Mike reversed cross corner whips, they sent Gordy and Hayes into one another.
  • Mike got rammed into Roberts while Kevin mounted the top turnbuckle.
  • When Kevin delivered a cross body block, he pinned Roberts.
  • WE HAVE NEW CHAMPIONS!

Rating: **½

Summary: If you thought the Irving faithful were excited for the tag title change, they LOST THEIR COLLECTIVE MINDS when the Von Erichs won the titles. I mean, the entire stadium ROCKED!

Stay tuned for more WCCW goodness tomorrow!
