Blassie tells Marc Lowrance now that Harley Race has proven himself to be the one and only 'King of Wrestling', that he is now going to step aside and allow proper royalty to lead his career moving forward so he asks that everyone in the Sportatorium stand on their feet and welcome his Lordship…Alfred Hayes! Lord Alfred Hayes says that he is here to make sure that the King is treated with the dignity and respect that he deserves and that he will eventually retire still the World Heavyweight Champion because there's not a wrestler in the world who is on the King's level. COMMERCIAL WCCW Television Championship "Gorgeous" Jimmy Garvin w/Precious pinned Mr. Olympia after a 'Brainbuster' to win the WCCW Television title At ringside, Jimmy Garvin takes the mic and says that the Television championship is merely a stepping stone to the top and there's no one in World Class who can hold a candle to him.

Jacques tells the fans it's great to be in Texas and it's a shame that guys like Black Bart give this great state a bad name when acts and talks the way he does. Raymond says tonight he will make sure that he keeps the other Desperados at bay so that Jacques can have a fair fight with Black Bart and shut his mouth once and for all!

He turns to storm up the aisle and leave but he's met half way up the aisle by Bad News Allen!

kevinmcfl Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 That is exactly what I remember from World Class. Big matches all the time with chaos all around. I love that Bigelow started the trouble but Iceman and Bam Bam Gordy got the last laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 You know that the Rougeaus will not back down from a challenge. Black Bart can consider his challenge accepted by Jacques Rougeau! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 A little much on the Jimmy Garvin for my tastes, but it all seems very Texas to me. The von Erichs getting the best of things every time was still a huge deal at this point, so that is pretty spot on as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
