Pre-taped promo from Jammin' Jimmy Blast. His hand is in a cast after being crushed by Jake Blackheart.
"A little over a ago, Jake Blackheart and I beat each other bloody in a cage match at the first Starrcade. As the referee handed me the US Title and I tried to stop the blood from dripping into my eyes, I looked at Jake and saw a man I could respected. I respected him as a fellow wrestler and as a man. He's a tough S.O.B. But I put that feud behind me and I was proud to be WCWF United States Champion. I had no problem defending the title against Jake two weeks ago. He won a battle royal and earned his shot. When J.C. Magnum came out with him for the match that just added to the challenge. Then we ended up outside the ring and Jake Blackheart crushed my hand with the ringsteps. *holds his cast for emphasis* Jake, when I said you were a 'tough S.O.B.', my emphasis was on the first word but I guess you decided to emphasize the last word instead. You not only took my title, but you tried to cripple me. You're old enough to know better, but I guess in that black heart of yours that you're too much of a piece of sh** to care. Doctors tell me my hand will be healed by March, in time for the biggest event in wrestling history. We took it to the limit at the first Starcade and I promise you I will take you waaaaaay beyond that at the first Wrestlemania. You no longer have my respect, but you have my attention...and my United States Title. "

Stan Trump made Cliff Maldano submit to the Million Dollar Dream in 0:03:18.
Rating: * 1/4
Before the match, Million Dollar Stan offered the scrawny Maldano a nice, new $100 bill if he could do even 10 pushups. Maldano dropped to the mat and started doing pushups without much difficulty. As he dropped down for the final pushup, Trump started stomping on Maldano's back. The bet had been a ruse!

Bruiser Barton pinned Lance Catamaran with the Calf Branding in 0:05:09.
Rating: *
Catamaran got some cheap heat by insulting the crowd before the match and acting extra snobbish. That made the fans all the more eager when Barton, a Texan, was Catamaran's opponent.

[Bulk Logan interfered against Randy Robinson.]
The crowd was rabidly behind the champion, as you would expect. They became practically riotous when General Winter marched out with a USSR flag and lurked at ringside. The referee was trying to get Winter to leave the ringside area, which allowed The Ayatollah to get in an unseen cheapshot in on Randy Robinson. Out came Bulk Logan. He pointed menacingly at General Winter who backed away. Logan got into the ring and shook his finger at The Ayatollah who backed away from him. Robinson didn't know what to make of all this...until the Bulkster leveled him with the Axe Bomber! Then he followed with the Big Leg Drop! Ayatollah and Winter joined in the beatdown. The crowd booed mercilessly and started hurling bottles and other trash into the ring. The A-Team Theme hit and out charged John Murdoch. Bruiser Barton, Brett Hale, and Sol Salamanca soon followed, one after the other. The heels bailed. The faces helped Randy Robinson to his feet. Murdoch got the world title from the timekeeper and handed to Robinson, who accepted it and shook Murdoch's hand. The show ended up with the faces standing tall in the ring while the heels slowly retreated back to the locker room as they continue to be pelted by garbage from the fans.
John Elliott (play-by-play announcer), final words of the show: Bulk Logan has struck down world champion Randy Robinson, and he's betrayed America to do it!

After the match, Frank Gresham interviews John Murdoch. "The One-Man Army" was disgusted at what he saw last week.

Pre-taped promo from The Supernauts. They respect Steve Hecker and Joe Dean. They respect their hardwork. They know hardwork. Dreadnaut's family built England's mighty battleships and Hugenaut's built their churches. They aren't royalty. They didn't grow up on country estates. They weren't handed anything. They love America. They love the competition. They worked their way up through the wrestling organizations of Europe and for the last year they have beaten everyone in WCWF. They are proud to be world champions and they welcome the opportunity to face The Detroit Connection and continue to show that The Supernauts still the best tag team in the world!

Handshakes before the match. There is a small U-S-A chant from the crowd, but the Detroit boys tell the crowd to knock it off. Good, clean, hard-fought match.
After the match, Frank Gresham wants a word with the champs, but Eddie Fargo interrupts. "You guys think you're the best in the world? What a joke! You've never met the best." Someone blindsides Dreadnaut with a running high knee that puts him down. Then the attacker and Fargo double team Hugenaut and give him a spike piledriver on the floor. We finally get a good look at the attacker: DAVID RUNNER! The former NWA and WCWF World Heavyweight Champion has returned!
