Verne Gagne beat Baron von Raschke in 2 out of 3 falls to retain the A.W.A. World Heavyweight Title. Von Raschke caught Gagne with an elbow to the throat, a backbreaker dropping Gagne across his knee, and a body press to win the first fall. Gagne won the second fall with his Sleeper hold to even things up. In the third fall while Gagne was on the ring apron outside the ropes Von Raschke ran Gagne head first into the iron ring post for which Von Raschke was disqualified for.
The Chain Gang, Jack & Jim Dillinger, beat Red Bastien & Red Lyons in 2 out of 3 falls. Jack Dillinger pinned Red Bastien in 7:25 to win the first fall. In the second fall Bastien used the Atomic Drop in Jack Dillinger then Lyons applied the Figure-Four to win the second fall in 9:20. In the third fall Bastien again used the Atomic Drop on Jack Dillinger then Lyons came in to apply the Figure-Four but Jim Dillinger climbed to the top rope and knee dropped Lyons across the chest and then helped Jack on top of Lyons for the pin. While all of this happened the referee was trying to keep Bastien out of the ring because Bastien was in illegally and when the referee turned around all he could do was count Lyons out and award the match to the Dillingers.
