On this episode of The Wrestling Odyssey Podcast, we head to Dallas, Texas for World Class Championship Wrestling’s Star Wars event from January 30th, 1984.

This show features one of the most famous rivalries in wrestling history as The Fabulous Freebirds collide with the Von Erichs in a heated six-man battle with huge stakes for both teams. If the Freebirds win they can return to Texas and wrestle wherever they want, but if the Von Erichs win the Freebirds must leave the territory for a full year.

We also see NWA World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair take on Mike Von Erich in a special 10-minute challenge match. If Mike can survive the time limit against the champion, his brother David Von Erich earns a shot at the NWA title.

Elsewhere on the card:

• Kamala vs Junkyard Dog
• The Super Destroyers vs King Parsons & Brian Adias
• Skandor Akbar vs King Parsons
• Chris Adams vs Jimmy Garvin inside a steel cage for the WCCW American Heavyweight Championship

The production quality might not be the best, but the Dallas crowd absolutely steals the show, especially during the legendary Freebirds vs Von Erichs rivalry.

As always we hand out our Match of the Night, Face of the Night, and Heel of the Night awards before giving the show an overall rating.
