WWF Presents LETHAL LOTTERY
Sunday, Week 4, September 1984

Pre-show: Style and Substance d. Bolo and Jones for the tag titles! (70)

We're getting right into Lethal Lottery action! Kevin Von Erich teams up with relative newcomer The Barbarian against the top heel pairing of David Von Erich and Tommy Rich! Barbarian holds his own, but is clearly a bit outclassed, and the heels have prior experience together. Rich is able to pin Barbarian while the Von Erichs fight on the outside. (78) Rich and DVE pat themselves on the back, but leave the ring eyeing each other suspiciously as the battle royal looms. (90)

Next up, Ricky Steamboat and Tony Atlas take on IC Champ Jesse Ventura and Meng! The face/heel dynamic (and poor actual chemistry) causes quite a bit of tension on the latter team, but the Body still manages to put away Atlas. (74) Meng offers a handshake after the match, but Ventura just polishes his IC belt and leaves. (80) Style and Substance come out to gloat about winning the tag titles and show some clips. (49)

It's the battle of the Harts (but mostly more important people) next! Ric Flair and Bret Hart take on the even more improbable pairing of Iron Sheik and Owen Hart. Sheik spends most of the match berating Owen, while Flair and Bret are able to function fairly smoothly. Flair gets the win with the Figure Four after Sheik fails to stretch particularly far to make a crucial tag. (69) Sheik and Owen bicker after the match, at which point Bret interjects himself, and the Harts doubleteam Sheik to well-menaing "USA" chants. (52)

Tito Santana and Bruno Sammartino are our next face/heel team for Lethal Lottery, and they'll be fighting Jerry Lawler and Afa Reigns. Santana and Bruno clearly aren't fans of each other, but they're able to set their differences aside in the name of wild brawling. It's a hectic one, but Bruno is the last man standing. (73) Santana and Sammartino have a staredown before heading backstage. Your friend in the tag match is your enemy in the battle royal! (56)

Our final tag match is King Don Muraco and Barry Windham against perennial enemies Jack Brisco and Terry Funk. Brisco and Funk are never able to get on the same page, and Brisco eventually gets tired of it and refuses to tag in. Muraco and Windham are easily able to finish off Funk at that point. (75) Funk goes after Brisco, and they brawl up the ramp! (63)

We give the Lethal Lottery entrants a chance to catch their breath with a WWF Title match! Jim Duggan enters first, challenger that he is, and riles up the crowd against Hansen and All Japan. They came here to conquer us, but these colors don't run! Stan Hansen is out next, flanked by Baba and Tsuruta. This was never about Japan versus USA, or Asians against white guys, it's just All Japan against WWF! (85) Duggan gives it his all, but Hansen is able to outlast him to retain. (84)
