The 25 Days of Von Erichs – Day Six

For 20 days until Iron Claw is released, I present to you genuine moments in World Class Championship Wrestling history in chronological order.

Today, we look at February 5, 1983 from the Sportatorium:

David Von Erich decimated Checkmate.

The Great Yatsu (w/ Arman Hussein) beat Brian Adidas.

Match 3 for the NWA American title: Kevin Von Erich (champion w/ David Von Erich) versus Terry Gordy

Highlights:

• Gordy reversed a cross corner whip but came up empty on his follow-through. In fact, he flew over the top rope to the floor.
• Upon his return, Kevin dropkicked him back over the top rope to the floor.
• With Gordy on the apron, Kevin returned him to the ring via flying headscissors.
• Gordy rebounded with a slam but received one in return.
• While the Dallas faithful chanted “go home, Freebirds,” Kevin gave Gordy a cross corner whip resulting in a Gordy flip.
• Gordy then guillotined Kevin with the top rope twice, and David checked on his younger brother on the floor.
• When Gordy delivered a delayed vertical suplex, he got 2.
• Kevin hit a cross body block for 2.
• As the Dallas faithful rallied for Kevin, Buddy Roberts came to ringside.
• Hayes joined him while Kevin leapfrogged Gordy.
• After Kevin applied an Iron claw, Roberts got up on the apron.
• Seeing Roberts, Kevin rammed Gordy into him returning Roberts to the floor.
• Kevin reversed a cross corner whip and attempted a slam.
• With Michael Hayes distracting referee Larry Hayes, Roberts tripped Kevin. How dastardly!
• In the process, Gordy fell atop Kevin.
• 1-2-3.
• WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION!

Rating: **

Summary: The Freebirds collect yet another title to accompany their American and six-man tag titles.
