4. Bob Backlund def. Ron Bass.
5. Wahoo McDaniel def. Dick Slater (US Title Match).
6. Tully Blanchard def. Dusty Rhodes by DQ (TV Title Match).
7. Ric Flair def. Sgt. Slaughter by DQ after the challenger accidentally hit the referee with the slaughter cannon. The bell didn't ring untill Slaughter had Flair in the Cobra Clutch, leading the fans to believe he won (NWA Title Match).

I wonder what the attendance was for this event? I attended a few of the old shows at the Civic Center I was also involved in a business convention there (non wrestling related) in the 90s as well. I believe the total capacity of the building was 12,000, but none of the shows I attended were complete sellouts, probably more like 3/4 full.
