when Porkchop pinned Magnum with the Special Delivery in 0:08:51.
Rating: -1/4*

The referee struggled to keep control of this match, as neither Soul Train nor The Freedom Fighters were particularly inclined to follow the tag rules. At one point The Freedom Fighters even tried to walk out of the match, but Soul Train went after them and the two teams fought back to the ring.

Rating: *

Jimmy Blast pinned Eddie Fargo with the Gourdbuster in 0:07:34.
Rating: ***
(Jimmy Blast retained the WCWF United States Title.)

Fargo's entrance music is "Strutter" by KISS which got a positive reaction from the crowd (Detriot Rock City and all that). But Eddie proceeded to use every trick in the book to make sure the crowd new he wasn't the good guy: stalling, strutting, harassing the crowd, using ever cheap trick in the book against his opponent. He even got a near fall with his feet firmly on the ropes for extra leverage.

Randy Robinson pinned Jake Blackheart with the Ram Jam in 0:09:04.
Rating: -* 1/4
(Randy Robinson retained the WCWF World Heavyweight Title.)
[Isileli Kaelo interfered against Randy Robinson.]

The Tongan Terror came down to ringside in effort to distract Robinson. When Blackheart dumped Robinson over the top rope, Kaelo tried to blindside the champ with the Kick of Fear. The Ram saw it coming this time, ducked, and introduced the Tongan's head to the ringspot a few times before powerbombing him on the floor to a huge pop from the crowd. Robinson returned to the ring and finished off Blackheart. After the match, Robinson got a mic and challenged Isileli Kaelo to get in the ring with him right now rather than waiting for the USA Network special! Kaelo looked like he was ready to take up the offer, but "Million Dollar" Stan Trump hurried to ringside to talk the Tongan down.

Taped Promos and Vignettes That Aired With These Matches On Syndication

• "The Natural" Chris Reese hanging out the beach in a speedo. He mocks Jimmy Blast's modest physique and promises he'll get the gold belt to go with his golden tan.
• Frank Gresham interviewed the "The One Man Army" John Murdoch about his plans after defeating "The Shaolin Dragon" Buck Hamato, but they were interrupted by a big Russian in a Soviet general's uniform who proceeded to attack Murdoch and injury his arm. The man glared at Gresham and called him an "American lap dog peddling capitalist lies" who should have his microphone shoved down his throat. Gresham stood his ground. Officials and The Midnight Resistance intervened before anybody else could get hurt. The Russian was escorted out of the building, but we presumably haven't seen the last of him.
• Frank Gresham interviewed The Freedom Fighters. They mocked The Midnight Resistance. "Jake Stryker got what was coming to him and we'll do the same to any other stupid old men who get in our way." Why did they cost Soul Train the Tag Team Titles? "We don't like their kind of people." Gresham's eyes went wide. He told viewers that "WCWF does not endorse the opinions just expressed by some of our wrestlers" and he abruptly ended the interview.
• Frank Gresham interviewed "Million Dollar" Stan Trump and "The Tongan Terror" Isileli Kaelo. Gresham questions the tactics used at Madison Square Gardnen, but Trump responds that this is American where you use whatever tactic you need to win because winning is the only thing that matters. Gresham asks about Kaelo's name (the Tongan wrestler apparently doesn't speak much English). Trump says his name translates to "God-given strength" and it's an apt name because he's naturally stronger than everyone else in WCWF, just like Trump is naturally better (and richer) than everyone else.
• Randy "The Ram" Robinson had the WCWF World Heavyweight Title around his waist while he was interviewed by Frank Gresham. Robinson says The Jolly Green Giant is recovering from the knee injury he suffered at Madison Square Garden. Jolly sends his thanks for all the get-well-soon cards children have sent him. Isileli Kaelo earned his title shot, by hook or by crook. Kaelo is a serious challenger, probably the second toughest challenge of Randy's career after only The Ayatollah. But he overcame The Iranian A-hole and he'll overcome The Tongan Terror too! He got to be the champ through hard work, not cheap tactics, and he's going to train harder than ever because he plans to be world champion for a long time.
