Ken Resnick: Welcome everyone to another star studded and action packed edition of AWA All-Star Wrestling. I’ll be joined momentarily by my broadcast partner, Verne Gagne, but before the action gets started in the ring we have a very special announcement from AWA President Stanley Blackburn.
Stanley Blackburn: Thank you Ken, and as he just alluded to, I have a very special announcement to make here this week. I am here to introduce a new championship to the AWA. The new championship will be the AWA United States Championship. We are a very patriotic country and to commemorate this, we have decided to introduce this championship along with the AWA World Heavyweight Championship and the AWA World Tag Team Championships which have already been incorporated within the promotion. The first holder of this title will be decided next week at AWA Wrestle Rumble live on pay per view. But this will not just be any old match. This will be a 20 man over the top rope battle royal to crown the first champion. Some of the names already signed for this bout are Eddie Gilbert, Rick Rude, the Long Riders, Carlos Colon, Junkyard Dog, Dynamite Kid and many more soon to be added this week. It should surly decide among all these great competitiors exactly who the toughest and strongest of them all is.
Andy Kaufman: Stanley Blackburn! Stanleeeeeeeeeee! Stanleeeeeeeeeeeeee! You want to know who the toughest and strongest of them all is? Do yourself a favor. Cancel that battle royal and just hand the belt over to the Superstar!!!!
Stanley Blackburn: But ah, you’re not even signed to be in the battle royal?
Andy Kaufman: Ah you see, I knew you’d say that. And from what I was told, you were trying to block entry into the battle royal for Billy Graham. But through a injunction that was placed through my high powered….and high priced….Hollywood lawyer, I have got Billy Graham’s name signed on the dotted line for the US title battle royal. Ah, but let me do you one better, I have talked with the athletic commission, and through yet another legal injunction you forced me to take out on the AWA, none other than I, Andy Kaufman, have also been entered into the US title battle royal!
Verne Gagne: Oh can you imagine if this guy has the AWA US Title around his waist? When wrestling historians hundreds of years from now look back at the record books, they’ll see a picture of Andy Kaufman as the first ever AWA US Champion and laugh. What a disgrace this guy would be as champion!
Ken Resnick: Well, you never know Verne, these two will have to outlast 18 other amazing competitors next week at AWA Wrestle Rumble if they want to take home that brand new sold gold championship belt.
Ken Resnick: Making his way to the ring for a singles match up is one half of the AWA Tag Team Champions, Greg Gagne.
Verne Gagne: We are still not exactly sure who Greg’s opponent is for this match up. A contract was signed, but the name said, “to be announced”.
Ken Resnick: It’s the Wildman from the Sudan! Abdullah the Butcher!
Verne Gagne: Looks like Greg is going to have his hands full tonight with this monster of a man!
Ken Resnick: Hey now, hold on just a second! Abdullah the Butcher has thrown referee Marty Miller out of the ring before the bell had even rung for this match. That’s surly his going to cause this match up to be a no contest.
Verne Gagne: And Abdullah the Butcher is attacking Greg viciously with that chair while his tag team partner Curt Hennig tries to come in to make the save.
Verne Gagne: Hold on a second here! Is this the revenge plan that Paul Ellering was talking about last week when he threatened Greg?
Ken Resnick: Sure looks like it was Paul Ellering is “directing traffic” as the Road Warriors have hit the ring and it’s a three on two beat down on the AWA World Tag Team Champions!
Ken Resnick: But things just got a whole lot more interesting now! Bruiser Brody is on the scene and it looks like he’s here to get a measure of revenge for the injury that Abdullah laid out upon Andre the Giant last week!
Verne Gagne: And maybe get a piece of the Road Warriors and a hope a whole chunk of Paul Ellering too!!!!
Verne Gagne: And there’s that whole chunk of revenge we were looking for on Paul Ellering! Brody has him hoisted high in the air, but where’s he going to throw him?
Ken Resnick: Verne, you better brace yourself, it looks like Brody has his eye on throwing him straight down on our announcer’s table!
Ken Resnick: And the tide of this battle has turned as Paul Ellering comes crashing down on our announce table.
Verne Gagne: Looks like Greg and Curt have run off the Road Warriors as well. What a fight we just saw.

Bruiser Brody: HUSS! HUSS! HUSS! Abdullah, Road Warriors, Ellering, you want a fight? You got fight. Curt, Greg, my calendar says that next week is AWA Wrestle Rumble. What do you guys say? How about Bruiser Brody, Curt Hennig and Greg Gagne take on the Road Warriors and Abdullah the Butcher. But you guys wanted a fight, and a fight is what you’ll get. This will be a come as you are street fight!
Verne Gagne: That sure sounds like a heck of a plan to me!
Ken Resnick: There you have it folks, next week at AWA Wrestle Rumble, another big match has been signed as it will be Bruiser Brody teaming with the AWA World Tag Team Champions, Curt Hennig and Greg Gagne, to take on Abdullah the Butcher and the Road Warriors in a come as you are street fight!
Verne Gagne: Should be something else!
Ken Resnick: We’ll be back after this word from our amazing sponsors.
Verne Gagne: And now making his way to the ring, the leader of the new group here in the AWA, the Four Horsemen, it’s the “Nature Boy” Ric Flair.
Ken Resnick: The new attitude and confidence we are seeing from Flair is something to behold. And one of the key pieces to this new Four Horsemen group is the “Enforcer” Arn Anderson who says he is willing to do anything that it takes to get the World Heavyweight Championship around the waist of Ric Flair.
Verne Gagne: And his opponent for tonight is Kevin Von Erich who is sourly needing a win here in the AWA.
ken Resnick: Both he and his brother Kerry are in desperate need of wins here in the AWA. I was told they received word this week from AWA President Stanley Blackburn in conjunction with the AWA Board of Directors that if they do not start winning here soon, they will lose their bookings in the AWA. This is the hotbed of professional wrestling today and there are many men waiting their turn to get a shot here. The Von Erichs will just get swallowed up by another one of those up and comers.
Ken Resnick: And Ric Flair goes to work early on Kevin Von Erich. He’s got his ring jacket pulled up over his head reminiscent of a hockey player pulling the other guy’s jersey over his head in the middle of a fight.
Verne Gagne: We know that Ric Flair will take any shortcut that he can in order to accomplish his goals. And right now, that goal is the AWA World Heavyweight Championship.
Ken Resnick: You know Verne, as much as you may want to criticize Flair for his cheating ways, which don’t get me wrong, I do agree with, you can’t knock his technical prowess.
Verne Gagne: I have to admit that Flair has one of the most beautiful vertical suplexes in professional wrestling today. Just ask Kevin Von Erich who’s being slammed hard to the mat with one of those right now.
Verne Gagne: This contest has been all Ric Flair since the very beginning moments of this match. And as he grabs the leg, you can take three guesses as to what he’s setting up for, but I’ll bet you;ll need just one of those guesses.
Ken Resnick: And there it is, the famed Ric Flair Figure Four. Unfortunately for Kevin, he’s not able to pick the win up tonight and moves inches closer to being in the unemployment line with his brother Kerry.
Verne Gagne: If Ric Flair was trying to prove a point tonight in this match, he’s surely done it. He’s coming after Stan Hanson and the AWA World Heavyweight Championship.
Ric Flair: Woo! Woooo! Wooooooo! Kevin Von Erich….get me some better competition. Stan Hanson, you think I forgot how you and Terry Funk screwed me out of the title? No sir. No sir! No sir! You’ve got something around your waist that has belong to the Nature Boy all along. And soon enough, it will be mine!
Arn Anderson: Stan Hanson, Terry Funk, any others that want to get on the way of the Four Horsemen. Try it. We dare you. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will stop us from obtaining the ultimate prize.
Stan Hanson: Hold on a second Flaaaaiiiirrr! Is this what you want? You want my belt? All the others have come and gone and I still have the belt around my waist. What makes you think you’re so special that it’s going to be you taking the title from me? After all, I already did beat you one, two, three before.
Ric Flair: Yea, but you had your little crony there Terry Funk doing all the dirty work for you. Couldn’t beat me in a man to man contest. But next time, and trust me Stan Hanson, there will be a next time, the title is coming home with me once I have locked on the Figure Four and you scream for mercy and hand over the AWA World title belt to me.
Stan Hanson: Hahaha, look who’s talking Flair, why do you think everybody calls you the “Dirtiest Player in the Game”? Two can play at those games Flair. Sounds like you’re looking for a AWA World title shot at the next pay per view, AWA Wrestle Rumble, well to settle this once and for all you got…..
Scott Hall: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on just a minute there Stan Hanson. You can’t go making #1 contenders for your title. Did you forget something? I was the winner of the Frank Gotch Memorial Tournament. And eventhough I may not have the trophy anymore after you maliciously broke it over my head here a couple weeks back on AWA All-Star Wrestling, that win still granted me a shot at you and the AWA World Heavyweight Championship at AWA Wrestle Rumble next week! So you’ll just need to wait your turn in line there Ricky Flair, because I’m the #1 contender to Hanson’s title!
Ken Resnick: Fan favorite Scott Hall has entered the ring and with his good friend, Dusty Rhodes, by his side is staring down the man he will face next week at AWA Wrestle Rumble, the AWA World Heavyweight Champion, Stan Hanson. The intensity in this studio right now between Hall and Hanson is so thick!
Ric Flair: Ricky? Boy? Nobody insults the Nature Boy like that!
Verne Gagne: Ric Flair and Arn Anderson have just attacked Scott Hall and Dusty Rhodes from behind and in turn, those two have bumped into Stan Hanson and Terry Funk and now we have a wild melee going on in the ring.
Ken Resnick: Hold on a second here. It appears that Hanson and Funk believe that Rhodes and Hall were attacking them and didn’t realize that Flair and Anderson purposely pushed them straight into them.
Verne Gagne: And in the meantime, while their enemies fight, through a clash that they started, they’re enjoying the battle from the outside as the other two teams are having a vicious clash in the ring right now. I can’t believe the sneakiness and cunning of Ric Flair and his devious plans. I think he's trying to get everyone to plot against each other so he can sneak in and take the World Heavyweight Championship.
Ken Resnick: But in the end it's Dusty Rhodes and Scott Hall who stand triumphant in the middle of the ring. Especially after this latest brawl, Scott Hall's confidence has to be at a all time high heading into his AWA World title match against Stan Hanson.
Verne Gagne: We'll be right back after these commercial messages to give you a foll rundown of next week's AWA Wrestle Rumble card to close out the show.
Verne Gagne: Welcome back here to AWA All-Star Wrestling. Next week we present our next pay per view spectacular, AWA Wrestle Rumble.
Ken Resnick: It's going to be quite the show, that you're not going to want to miss. As stated earlier, the newly created AWA United States Championship will be up for grabs in a 20 man over the top rope battle royal. Already signed for that match are "Superstar" Billy Graham, Junkyard Dog, Eddie Gilbert, Rick Rude, plus so many more. We've just been informed that Kerry Von Erich has asked for and been granted a match versus Ric Flair. A rematch from last week's AWA All-Star Wrestling main event as Dusty Rhodes takes on Terry Funk. In what should be a wild affair, it will be the AWA World Tag Team Champions, Greg Gagne and Curt Henning along with Bruiser Brody taking on the former champs, the Road Warriors, with their manager Paul Ellering teaming with Abdullah the Butcher. All six of those men will be engaged in a Come As You Are Street Fight. And finally in what has been announced as a no disqualifications match, AWA World Heavyweight Champion, Stan Hanson puts his title on the line against the winner of the Frank Gotch Memorial Tournament and the #1 contender to the title, Scott Hall.
Ken Resnick: Hey, what's Dusty Rhodes doing out here? Dusty, you're going to have to make it quick, we only have about a minute of television time remaining.
Dusty Rhodes: Dusty Rhodes....Terry Funk...AWA Wrestle Rumble. You know Terry, I know you like to down a couple cold ones from time to time, and weel, I have to admit, I do to. So you and me, next week, AWA Wrestle Rumble, no ordinary match. No, let's make this a Bar Room Brawl!
Verne Gagne: We'll see you next week for AWA Wrestle Rumble!
