As the Freebirds take time to argue with fans,The sound of bagpipes hits the speakers as the crowd pops huge!
RODDY PIPER makes his way halfway down the aisle when he notices Gordy is in the ring with Hayes!

A sly smile crosses Piper's face as he turns back toward the dressing room !

Hayes implores the ref to start counting Piper out but his tone changes quickly as the crowd pops as Piper returns and has BRUNO SAMMARTINO with him !

Hayes and Gordy are throwing a fit as Piper and the Living Legend enter the ring !

The ref tells Hayes that as long as he has Gordy in his corner than Piper can have Bruno in his !

Before the introductions can even be done,Piper and Hayes go at it !

Bruno makes sure Gordy leaves the ring as Bruno then does the same! PIPER isn't known for being nice in the ring and Hayes is finding this out fast !

A drag down brawl is basically whatbthis is and the fans are cheering Piper's every move! Hayes knows a thing or vtwo about being dirty and soon evens things out !

He batters Piper all the while keeping him near the side of the ring where Gordy is stationed at outside!

A few times Hayes tries distracting the ref and Gordy attempts to do some interfering but each time Bruno is able to stop it !

But after one such stoppage,the ref admonishes Bruno and while doing so,Hayes throws Piper over the top rope onto the floor near Gordy !

Gordy posts Piper AND HE IS BUSTED OPEN!

Hayes then goes to the outside and starts punching the open woumd! The ref is done with Bruno and turns and starts a 10 count ! Hayes beats it and the next several times a bloody Piper tries to reenter,Hayes usually hits him with a well placed boot to the chest,knocking Piper off the pron and back to the floor!

Gordy goes to grab Piper at one point and Bruno has had enough! Bruno makes his way over and him and Gordy start to brawl on the floor ! Piper has recovered enough to get back in the ring !

Hayes grabs and pounds away on his bloody head but it's almost having no effect as Piper has that look on his face !

The crowd is cheering Piper on as he seems to be feeling no pain! The infamous Piper eye poke is all it takes to get Piper on the offensive! Now Piper is beating the hell out of Hayes as Bruno and Gordy continue their battle!

As the ref is trying to restore order somewhat,Somehow Gordy is able to throw a chair into the ring !

However Roddy is the one who gets ahold of it and cracks Hayes over the head ,splitting him wide open!

It couldnt of happened to a nicer guy! Fans we have had some damn good matchups tonight. But this next one is one of been waiting to see since they signed the contracts. This will be tag team wrestling at its finest."




Match Five: "The Hart Foundation vs Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard

The crowd is electric here as they know these two teams are two of the best in the world and they can't wait to see who is the better tandem!

Tully and Bret start things out and although closely matched in skill level,Bret is not called the excellence of execution for nothing !After maintaining the advantage with quick tags back and forth between him and the powerhouse Neidhart, it looks like the Hart Foundation may make easy work of Tully !

Several minutes go by as Neidhart is basically etting that ass whipped as he is pretty much stuck in the corner ! Bret tries to make several saves but to no avail! Finally Neidhart is able to break away and make a diving tag to The Hitman!

Bret is cleaning house and is getting it going ! Neidhart joins the fray and all four men are battling it out in the ring !

The ref needs a set of eyes in the back of his head to keep up with all thats going on ! For some reason the ref tries to break up the battle between Neidhart and Tully as he's ignoring what's going on with Bret and ARN..the lregal men in the ring ! ARN has Bret tied up near the ropes when BUTCH REED of Black Wallstreet comes down to the ring !
But he's not alons as BAD NEWS BROWN is with him !

BNB gets into the ring as ARN holds Bret from behind! BNB throws a savate kick...Bret ducks and it catches Arn full in the face!

Jim Ross: "Fans I'm not sure what the relationship between Bad News Brown and Butch Reed is all about, but their interference cost the Horsemen that match. And it's a shame because the Hart Foundation and the Horsemen was putting on a clinic. And it's looking like the Horsemen are going to fight Bad News and Reed all over Philadelphia. Fans, we have one more match to go. And it doesnt get any bigger than this one as the IWA World title is on the line!"




Main Event: Stan Hansen vs Ric Flair for the IWA World title

Flair is in true fashion as he confidently walks to the ring as Ross wonders how Flair can leave Philadelphia tonight with the title intact. Then Hansen charges out of the dressing room..... wildly swinging his bullrope at anything that gets close enough to swing at.

Hansen tips his chaps and vest off and rolls in the ring and just attacks Flair! Hansen is all over the world champion! Flair eventually went to the eyes and chucked him outside. Hansen started marching around and came back in with purpose and Flair powdered. They worked a bearhug. Flair gouges the eye. He tries to suplex but Hansen suplexes him. Hansen then bodyslams Flair. The crowd is definitely rabid for Hansen here tonight.

Hansen works front facelock. Flair just does a snapmare out of the corner and works a front facelock.

Hansen comes off the middle turnbuckle with a chop. Hansen is relentless to head. He signals for his big lariat..... and it hits it!! But the momentum knocks Flair to the outside of the ring.

Hansen looks to press his advantage but runs into a knee on a corner charge. Flair begins work on the arm. Hansen goes to the eyes to escape after five minutes or so of this.

Flair punches the head repeatedly. Hansen sells really well outside on the powder. For some reason, Flair does not want to go for the knee instead he wants to trade hands with Hansen and he ends up taking a bump over the top rope. They brawl around ringside and Hansen back drops into the ring. Hansen pulls his elbow pad up and it's clear what's next.....he charges in for the Lariat...... but Flair drops down and Hansen hits the ref!!

Here comes Bruiser Brody. Brody has his chain.....he enters the ring and wraps the chain around his arm and nails Hansen with it!!! The fans are shocked!!! Brody bodyslams Hansen then bounces off the ropes with the big Brody knee drop to Hansen. Brody leaves the ring and a battered Flair crawls over and throws his arm across Hansen as the ref comes to, 1......2......3!! WINNER AND STILL IWA WORLD CHAMPION...... RIC FLAIR!!!!!
