[TV Title Tournament Semifinals]:
Sol Salamanca defeated Joachim Farkas by countout in 0:06:06.
Rating: -3/4*

Rick Samson came to ringside to watch this match, scouting his two potential opponents for next week, but not getting involved. Salamanca got mauled by Farkas, with The Hungarian Wolfman employing his usual frentic brawling style. The referee had to intervene several times to remind Farkas this was a wrestling match. His eye gouges and biting suggest Farkas mistook this for a back alley brawl or perhaps a buffet. Farkas couldn't put Salamanca down though and the plucky Mexican wrestler even avoided the Hungarian Claw. About five minutes into the match, Randy "The Ram" Robinson came to ringside as well. He didn't get actively involved, but his presence was clearly a distraction for Farkas who took to pacing the ring and snarling in the champ's direction. Finally, The Hungarian Wolfman had enough, and left the ring to go after Robinson. The Ram slowly backed away, circling the ring then moving toward the locker room, letting Farkas stalk him. It was an act of calculation, not cowardice, Robinson stood his ground as soon as the bell rang. Farkas had paid no attention to the referee's ten count and seemed not to care about the bell either. Fists were soon flying as the show went off the air.

Frank Gresham interviewed Sol Salamanca. He is excited for his first title match tonight. It would be a dream come true to have childhood hero, Pedro Gonzalez, present him with the TV Title.

Stroker Ace pinned Frederic Clay with the Ace Crusher in 0:04:31.
Rating: DUD

Stroker got a mixed reception from the crowd, perhaps not caring for his Southern race car driver gimmick. He used underhanded tactics in the match then pinned Clay with an arrogant one-foot cover after two Ace Crushers. In a twist on his common schtick of picking a lady from the front row as his date for the evening, Stroker said none of women of Poughkeepsie were good enough for him.

Eddie Fargo pinned Rocky Hendrix with the Thundering Forearm in 0:05:46.

[WCWF TV Title Tournament Finals]:
Rick Samson pinned Sol Salamanca with the Body Crush in 0:09:58.
Rating: *** 1/2
(Rick Samson won the WCWF TV Title.)

Samson and Salamanca shook hands before the match. The crowd was leaning toward Samson, the respected veteran (and American). The two put on a good, clean wrestling match. The Salamanca went for a flying cross body press, but Samson caught him and planted Salamanca with a big front slam just before the time limit expired. After Commissioner Pedro Gonzalez put the TV Title around Samson's waist, The Strongman noticed how dejected Salamanca looked and and asked the crowd for a round of applause for his opponent, which he got. Gonzalez consoled Salamanca as well. The young Mexican wrestler may have come up short, but he gave a commendable performance against a tough opponent who has not lost a match all year.
