Announcers: Gordon Solie & Bob Caudle

Denny Brown beat Mike Davis to win the NWA World junior Heavyweight championship in a botch pin-fall when Brown was supposed to be the one pin and instead was the one pinning Davis.... good match and even weird to see a very young Earl Hebner as the ref for this match...

“The Nature Boy” Ric Flair beat Dusty Rhoads in a quarter of a million dollar match with Joe Frazier as the guest ref…. The match between the two was great but the ending was horrible and controversial as Joe ruled ric flair the winner due to the cut on Dusty’s eye… for a main event, it was hyped up as the next big match to out do the Starcade 83 event and that was how it ended..

Tony Shavoni interviewed Ric Flair who was a very happy man

Tony Shavoni interviewed Dusty Rhoads who was a very pissed off man standing with his best friend the raging Bull and rightfully so as he now no longer care about ric flair as he now wants Joe Frazier for costing him a quarter of a million dollars.
