Andy Kaufman: Hey everybody it's me Andy!
Verne Gagne: Oh, who let this guy get air time to start the show. Anyways, welcome everyone to AWA All-Star Wrestling. We are joined in progress by Andy Kaufman…
Andy Kaufman: Oh c’mon, you know, pretty much the greatest Hollywood star to ever grace the planet! You know I am the best looking man in all of Hollywood! I am about to introduce the ahhem SECOND greatest man in Hollywood! Here he is, the man of the hour, the man with the power, let me introduce to you the AWA United States Champion, “Superstar” Billy Graham!
Billy Graham: That's right I am the AWA United States Champion. The first and only AWA United States Champion. Let’s face it, I am probably never going to get beat for the rest of time so I’ll be the FIRST and ONLY AWA United States Champion that there will ever be! I am the man with the gold and I will defend this championship against anyone, anywhere, anytime, here in the AWA! I am issuing right now an open challenge to any man or woman for that matter to challenge me for this title at AWA War Games live on pay per view!
Stanley Blackburn: Hold on a second there Graham. First off I have to say you are looking very good in that pink suit.
Billy Graham: Thank you Mr. Blackburn. You’re not looking so bad yourself. I really appreciate the kind words but you don’t look as good as me.
Andy Kaufman: Billy Graham is a sharp dressed man. However he is the second best-dressed man in Hollywood, second only to yours truly.
Stanley Blackburn: Andy, you seem to enjoy interjecting yourself in conversations and you also seem to like interject yourself in the outcome of important pay-per-view matches. Back at AWA Wrestle Rumble when we had a big battle royal to determine who the first AWA United States Champion would be I would say definitely played a factor in the outcome of that match. In my opinion the Junkyard Dog didn't really get a fair shake. So Andy, since you seem to like to getting involved in other people’s business in the ring, I am going to make you step in the ring at AWA War Games! Billy Graham will defend the AWA United States Championship against the Junkyard Dog.
Andy Kaufman: Well what’s that got to do with me having to step inside the ring?
Stanley Blackburn: I thought you would never ask Andy Kaufman. I am making this match a two on one handicap match. The Junkyard Dog has already agreed to this stipulation just so he has a chance to get his hands on you.
Andy Kaufman: What’s in it for me? I can’t get my pretty face destroyed by a big burly man like the Junkyard Dog.
Stanley Blackburn: I knew you’d ask that too. The man who scores the winning pinfall in the match walks out with the AWA United States Championship.
Andy Kaufman: Gold?! You mean I could carry a big, shiny, golden belt?! I accept!
Junkyard Dog: Oh yeahhhh. Grab them cakes Billy Graham and Andy Kaufman! I'm about to get my hands on you! You better show up for the match and not chicken out Kaufman because I'm about to deliver the head butt of a lifetime to your noggin and give the headache of a lifetime to both you and Billy Graham! AWA War Games! Ahhh haaa haaa! I can’t wait.
Ken Resnick: You heard it here, next week at AWA war Games, the AWA United States Championship will be on the line in a handicap match was the champion, “Superstar” Billy Graham teams with Andy Kaufman to take on the Junkyard Dog. The kicker? The man scoring the winning fall gets the AWA United States Championship. I for one cannot wait. Folks, we’ll be right back after this commercial break.
Verne Gagne: We are on our next match here on AWA All-Star Wrestling as we are going to have Baron Von Raschke taking on Bruiser Brody right now. Already in the ring is referee Marty Miller checking the boots of the Baron.
Ken Resnick: And here we go! The wildman Bruiser Brody has entered the ring with that signature chain of his. The Baron better be on top of his game tonight or else he's going to be in trouble against Brody.
Verne Gagne: Brody looks like he’s going to try and make quick work of the Baron as he is just going to town here right from the beginning. Brody delivers a huge big boot to the side of the Baron. Von Raschke doesn’t look like he’ll be able to last long in this one against the force of nature that is Bruiser Brody.
Ken Resnick: Brody sure doesn’t get paid by the hour does he Verne?
Verne Gagne: He sure doesn’t Ken, as Brody makes quick work of the Baron. Referee Marty Miller makes the count as we have seen quick one as Bruiser Brody defeats Baron Von Raschke. Bruiser Brody has the microphone, let’s hear what he has to say.
Bruiser Brody: Abdullah the Butcher, I know you're in Japan right now wrestling for All-Japan. But I'll tell you what Abdullah, enough with all of this, I'm not messing around anymore. You hurt my friend, Andre the Giant. Those two poor guys last week in that handicap match, even if you want to call it that. It’s time for revenge. I'm going to hurt you, and you know how I am going to do it? Right here, you know exactly what this is Abdullah. A spool of barbwire, this barbwire is going to be wrapped around the ring, that's right Abdullah, at AWA War Games we're going to have a war. A barbwire match, Abdullah, you better be prepared for war, because you know I will be.
Verne Gagne: Unbelievable! For the first time ever in the AWA, a barbwire match. This one is going to get bloody and violent real quick. We need to take a commercial break to pay the bills, so we’ll see you back in just a few moments fans!
Ken Resnick: And we are back as the “Hands of Stone” Ron Garvin is entering the ring with “Ms. Gorgeous”.
”Ms. Gorgeous”: Hey hey hey, At AWA War Games we are laying down the challenge. Already Eddie Gilbert wants to know the true identity of myself and I am here to tell him that I will show my true identity if him and Rick Rude are able to defeat myself and Ron Garvin at AWA War Games. I’ve seen what’s been going on between you and Rick Rude and I’m pretty confident you two will self-implode and we’ll walk away the victors anyways.
Ronnie Garvin: “Ms. Gorgeous”, didn’t you hear the news? Eddie Gilbert has signed the contract for AWA War Games.
”Ms. Gorgeous”: Ohhh really?! Well, looks like the fight is on boys, you better hitch up those skirts and put your working boots on and pack a lunch. Because you two are about to be taken to school at AWA War Games!
Ken Resnick: Standing alongside here with me in the ring is the AWA World Tag Team Champions, Curt Hennig and Greg Gagne. Guys, what you have to say about this upcoming ladder match for the tag straps at AWA War Games?
Greg Gagne: A couple weeks ago we saw Paul Ellering, Hawk and Animal, the Road Warriors, come out here and lay out a challenge, a big challenge in fact, a challenge for a match of something that has never been seen here in AWA. You know what boys we’ll do it, we’ll put the titles on the line. We will put them at the top of that rope high above the arena. The first team to grab the championship belts will be the AWA World Tag Team Champions. But you know what we want to take it up one more notch, this is it. End of the line for this feud. The losers never get a title shot again. You wanted the ladder stipulation, we’re asking for this stipulation.
Ken Resnick: AWA World Tag Team Champions, Greg Gagne and Curt Hennig will be taking will be taking on the Road Warriors in a ladder match at AWA War Games. The winners get the titles, the losers walk off into the sunset never to receive a title match again. You want the definition of AWA War Games? You got it in this match!
Stan Hanson: You know what Dusty Rhodes, we may not get along but we got one thing in common. We both want to get our hands around that no good, down right dirty, Ric Flair. I'll tell you Rhodes, I'll put my feelings aside for what your tag team partner, and Dick Murdoch did to my good friend Terry Funk. There’s bigger fish I want to fry right now like Ric Flair. And because I know you guys need a fourth member on your team to finally finish off Flair and the Horsemen once and for all, I'm asking you, no I am pleading with you right now. I want to be the fourth man in that cage alongside you to finally rid the AWA of Ric Flair. I want to be the eighth man inside that steel cage next week. Dusty, I am inviting you right now to come out here to the ringside area and accept my offer for me to be the fourth man on your team and take on the Four Horsemen at AWA War Games.
Dusty Rhodes: American Dream here…ah Stan Hanson. I see you out here, you just a pleading with the Dream to be my tag partner. But what’s in it for me? What’s in it for the Dream?
Stan Hanson: What’s in it for you? A world title shot and a shot at finally defeating Ric Flair once and for all. You know you hate him just as much as I do!
Dusty Rhodes: Weeeellll, when you put it that way. Dick Murdoch! Scott Hall! What do you think you think here about old Stan Hanson being our tag team partner next week at AWA War Games?
Dick Murdoch: Hanson, we may not agree on the fate of what happened to Terry Funk, but we do share one thing in common, fighting under the banner of the Lone Star State of Texas. Dusty, if it’s ok with you, then it’s ok with me.
Scott Hall: I really wish that my good friend Jerry Blackwell could get his revenge on the Four Horsemen for what they did to his knee. But if having the AWA World Heavyweight Champion on your side is an alternative, I’ll agree to it as well Dusty.
Dusty Rhodes: Well then there you have it, Stan Hanson…….
Ric Flair: Well, well, well, good for you boys. Finally found yourself a fourth member before the stroke of midnight. And all the better for me. Stan Hanson agreeing to put the title on the line inside the cage for the War Games match. Maybe this will be easier than I thought to finally get my hands on the AWA World Heavyweight Championship! This may very well be the most dysfunctional team in the history of professional wrestling with all the dirty laundry you boys have to air with each other. I mean Dusty beats up Funk, didn’t Hanson cheat Hall out of the title at AWA Wrestle Rumble, and wasn’t it Murdoch who interfered to have Dusty gain the upper hand on Funk? Oh this should be fun to watch.
Dusty Rhodes: Flair, we may have had our problems but there’s one problem that we can all agree on. And that is you!
Ken Resnick: And would you look at this stare down we our having between the two teams. We are almost out of time here on AWA All-Star Wrestling as you can cut the tension with a knife here at the AWA Studios heading into AWA’s next pay per view spectacular, AWA War Games which will be held in just one short week’s time!
Verne Gagne: And before we go, here is AWA President Stanley Blackburn to give us a rundown of the matches for next week’s AWA War Games card.
Stanley Blackburn: Next week at AWA War Games we have five big matches that will be on the card. In a barb wire match we will see Abdullah the Butcher taking on Bruiser Brody. The AWA United States Championship will be on the line in a handicap match as champion, “Superstar” Billy Graham teams with Andy Kaufman to take on the Junkyard Dog. Whoever scores the fall in the match will be the AWA United States Champion. In a ladder match for the AWA World Tag Team Championships, Curt Hennig and Greg Gagne will defend the titles against the Road Warriors. For the losers, it will be their last shot at the tag titles against the winning team. In a “mixed” tag team match, Ronnie Garvin teams with “Ms. Gorgeous” to take on Eddie Gilbert and Rick Rude. If Gilbert and Rude win the match then “Ms. Gorgeous” must show her true identity. And in the main event, with the man scoring the winning fall in the match being declared the AWA World Heavyweight Champion, in a War Games steel cage match it will be, AWA World Champ, Stan Hanson, Dusty Rhodes, Scott Hall and Dick Murdoch taking on the Four Horsemen of Ric Flair, Barry Windham, Harley Race and Arn Anderson.
