Jake 'The Snake' Roberts (captain), The British Bulldogs and Koko B. Ware (with Damien, Matilda and Frankie) versus Kamala (captain), Demolition and Sika (with Mr. Fuji).

Before departing the company in September 1987 over a pay dispute, Kamala The Ugandan Giant was paired with Sika The Savage Samoan as charges of the diabolical Mr. Fuji. The unfortunate superstar caught in their crosshairs for much of the Spring and Summer was Jake 'The Snake' Roberts. Knowing that Kamala wouldn't be under contract with World Class Championship Wrestling until the following year, the revised card allows for a two-month extension to give the feud a less abrupt finale.

After nearly a full year of bulldozing tag teams, Fuji's mercenaries Demolition join Sika and Kamala in tormenting Roberts. In the lead to Survivor Series, The wildly popular British Bulldogs decide they're ready for another crack at Ax and Smash while Koko B. Ware regularly assists Jake in fending off the various attacks.

Within moments of the opening bell, a surprise Missile Dropkick from Koko fells Sika and sends a shockwave through Fuji's alliance. Momentum swings back as Kamala puts down Dynamite Kid with a Savate Kick and a Demolition Decapitation eliminates 'The Birdman'. Davey Boy Smith levels Ax with a Running Powerslam, but falls victim to a top rope splash from The Ugandan headhunter. Out of patience, Jake pours Damien from his canvas bag, sending Kamala fleeing through the crowd before flattening Smash with a DDT for the deciding fall.
