KXTX aired wrestling at 11 am which most assuredly was World Class. Right around this time David Von Erich passed away and they were promoting the Parade Of Champions show at Dallas Stadium which was a tribute to David. At that show which took place in July of 1984 Kerry Von Erich beat Ric Flair to become NWA World Heavyweight Champion.

The Texas Stadium show was 5/6/84.
 
It had to be 1986 at the latest, since it
was one of the original Fox o&os, those
bought from Metromedia, and would have
carried Joan Rivers' late-night show (the
first Fox series).
