Frank Gresham interviews Bulk Logan, who has the WCWF World Heavyweight Title over his shoulder and seems annoyed to be there. Gresham asks about Fall Brawl and Logan brags about his victory over Rick Samson. Gresham calls Logan out for using illegal tactics to win. "What about it, brother? Yeah, I took Rick Samson to Dick Kick City! So what? I've cheated my way to the top, and I'm not ashamed of it. At the end of the day, it's all about winning, brother! So to all the little Bulkamaniacs out there, I just want to say this: if you want to be a winner, you need to learn to cheat. Because that's what it takes to be the best. And if you don't like it, brother, you can stick it!" Hogan struts off the interview set playing air guitar with the title belt.

Rating: DUD

However, he does declare the US Title should be awarded to him via forfeit.

"You want a shot at the World Tag Titles?" Bearden says any title will do. Maybe The Wrestling Classic tournament for the US Title. "Hey Bulkster: maybe we should come for you...brother!"

Rating: ** 1/2
(B.A. Brakkas retained the WCWF TV Title.)
Perry Strong made Antwan Soto submit to the Strong Hold in 0:04:19.
Rating: ** 1/4
Strong makes his debut. He's a short and stocky, but tough.
Frank Gresham interviews Commisioner Pedro Gonzalez. The commissioner confirms that Jimmy Blast vacated the US Title at Fall Brawl due to injury. Since a tournament was already planned for The Wrestling Classic on November 7, the WCWF Board of Directors decided to make it an 8-man tournament for the vacant title. All former United States champions still under contract are invited to enter the tournament, including Blast, assuming he's medically cleared.
Mean Massimo interrupts to say that the title should be handed over to him because he took out the champion. Gonzalez retorts that, due to Massimo's actions at Fall Brawl, he is specifically excluded from the tournament, despite being a former champion! Massimo is irate and grabs Gonazlez by the tie. The commssioner warns Massimo to keep his hands off authority figures if he wants to remain employed. Massimo screams "You'll pay for this!" and storms off the interview set.
Gonzalez straightens his tie and takes a moment to compose himself while Gresham decries Mean Massimo as a "loose cannon." The commissioner says that since Mean Massimo denied Rick Blood from having a title shot at Fall Brawl, Blood gets Massimo's spot in the tournament. Assuming all other former champions enter the tournament, that leaves one open slot which will be awared in a manner to be announced later. As for Massimo: Jimmy Blast can face his assailant at Starcade in whatever kind of match Jimmy wants!

Motor City Moonsault in 0:01:08.
Rating: **
Isileli Kaelo pinned Vaughn Parsons with the Kick of Fear in 0:01:04.
Rating: DUD
The Tongan Terror came out alone, decimated enhancement talent, and left without a word or even letting the referee raise his hand in victory. The announcers wonder about Stan Trump's absence.

in 0:04:41.

Rating: * 1/2
Stan Trump pinned Vaughn Parsons with the Million Dollar Knee in 0:02:03.
Rating: -*
Million Dollar Stan gets his hand raised in victory, only to have his music cut off by "Big In Japan" by Alphaville. The Jolly Green Giant headed toward the ring and Trump immediately fled. Jolly got in the ring and got a microphone. He declared that Stan Trump can run, but he can't hide. The more Trump runs, the more everyone sees him for the coward that he is.
The announcers note the absence of Isileli Kaelo, who usually serves as Trump's bodyguard and who wrestled on last week's show without Trump in his corner. Are there problems in Trump International?
Rick Samson made Teddy Walls submit to the Body Vice in 0:01:36.
Rating: **
In a post-match interview, Samson acknowledges disappointment about what happened at Fall Brawl, but knows that the referee's decision is final. He's going to focus on his shot at the US Title as part of the tournament at The Wrestling Classic.

Rating: *
Bonesaw cuts a post-match promo: "I hear there's a United States Title tournament coming up and some of the other guys around here get a free ride right into it. Bonesaw hasn't gotten a lot of free rides in his life; he's had to do things the hard way. Oh yeah. But how many of those guys are ready to be the next champion? You know who is ready? Bonesaw is ready!"
The Southern Maulers (Texas Mauler and Missouri Mauler) and B.A. Brakkas
defeated
Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe (Benjamin Cheatham, George Dewey, and William Howe)
when
Brakkas defeated Dewey by countout in 0:11:34.
Rating: 1/4*
The announcers noted that "Million Dollar" Stan Trump had fled the building after The Jolly Green Giant showed up earlier. Thus Trump's legal team was here on their own. They didn't fare very well in this, a fair matchup. They did finally get control of the match with heel shenanigans. Brakkas finally got the hot tag and cleared house on the three lawyers, who then walked out of the match.
