Pre-taped sitdown interview with Mean Massimo and Jammin' Jimmy Blast, who has the US Title in his lap. Frank Gresham tries to talk about men's respective pasts, but Massimo isn't interested. He wants to talk about the future with him as US Champion on the road to finally becoming World Champion. Blast says that, unlike Massimo, he's not running from the past. Blast has worked hard to get here. The future is now. He questions whether Massimo is a relic of the 1970s who can't change with the times. That gets Massimo out of his chair and in Blast's face. Jimmy remains calm as Frank Gresham seperates the two.

Rick Samson and Bulk Logan come out for their arm-wrestling match. Logan rips off his shirt. Lots of flexing and posing by both men. They get settled in to arm-wrestle, with much stalling by Logan. Finally they lock up and, after a little back and forth, Samson steadily powers Logan down as a horrified look comes over the Bulkster's face. Before his hand can actually hit the table, Logan flips the whole table on Samson. With his opponent knocked down, Bulk grabs the table and smashes it into Rick's back. Officials intervene. Samson is declared the winner via DQ. Logan walks off muttering "He didn't beat me!"
The announcers point out that "Dynamite" David Smith has gone 2-1-1 against Eddie Fargo, with the loss via a rollup with a handful of tights but the wins coming via DQ and countout.

(Eddie Fargo retained the WCWF TV Title.)
Fargo had clearly gotten inside Smith's head. The youngster came into this match hot-headed and reckless, and lost to the cunning veteran.

Immediately after the match, "Million Dollar" Stan Trump comes out with Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe. Trump wants to know who the fourth man is for War Games. He gets his answer when "La Grange" by ZZ Top starts to play. Out comes Bruiser Barton. Barton says he's taking the fourth slot on the team. This isn't about "you people" (pointing to Bearden, Jones, and Hale) but about "people like you" (pointing at Trump and his lawyers). Barton is from Texas, and two things he hates are lawyers and New Yawk City fat cats who think they own everything.
Wolfie Brown pinned Antwan Soto with the Roundabout in 0:03:22.

Pre-taped announcement from Commissioner Pedro Gonzalez. Due to "Dyanmite" David Smith and Eddie Fargo going 2-2-1 against each other over the last five weeks, and the questionable circumstances of several match finishes, the two will face off at Great American Bash. The match will be 2/3 falls and the title can still change hands if any of those falls are disqualification or countout. No matter the outcome, this will be the final match between the two. Tonight, instead of a TV Title defense, Fargo and Smith will face off in a tag team match with partners of their choosing.

[Isileli Kaelo interfered against The Jolly Green Giant.]
Smith and Fargo both found sizeable partners, but the match was cut short when The Tongan Terror charged the ring and attacked The Jolly Green Giant. "Million Dollar" Stan Trump was nowhere in sight as Jolly and Kaelo brawled up the aisle.
