Ken Resnick: Welcome everyone to another edition of AWA All-Star wrestling TV as we are here in the WTBS Studios as I am joined alongside Gordon Solie. In the ring right now, is AWA President, Stanley Blackburn.
Stanley Blackburn: I have a very special guess that will be coming out here very shortly as he's a man that says that he's looking for a challenge and needs me to help them get that challenge accepted.
Stanley Blackburn: Here he is now, “Cowboy” Bill Watts! Bill how are you?
Bill Watts: You know last week I came out here for the decision for the bid for the AWA Hercules Cortez Memorial Tag Team Tournament, which is coming up next week. The Fabulous Freebirds decided to put their nose into my business and decided that they needed to run down my home state of Oklahoma. I decided that those boys need to learn a lesson after running down my home state. So I have enlisted the help of my great friend, Junkyard Dog! The Dog and I have entered ourselves into the AWA Hercules Cortez Memorial Tag Team Tournament and I have signed the contract for us. Now even though I couldn’t get us an immediate match against the Freebirds, I was able to get us in the same bracket of the tournament. So Hayes and Gordy, you better hope we don’t cross paths in that bracket or you two are in for the butt whooping of a lifetime!
Michael Hayes: Is that right Watts? I can't believe you just did that! You just signed your own death warrant stepping into the ring with a guy like Bam Bam. And unfortunately for Junkyard Dog, you're just dragging him down along with you Watts! Wait until next week in Tokyo when “PS” and “Bam Bam” take you boys to a place that you've never seen before, a place that every man should fear. We are going to take you on a walk down Badstreet USA and I have a feeling that once you visit the last house on the right you may never be coming back again from where we send you!
Stanley Blackburn: You heard it here first folks as another team has been entered into the AWA Hercules Cortez Memorial Tag Team Tournament, the team of “Cowboy” Bill Watts and the Junkyard Dog!
Gordon Solie: While we are speaking of more tag teams joining the tournament, here's another team that had been previously announced. This team that had a major impact related to AWA War Games and they are the reason why we're having this tournament to crown new tag team champions. Buddy Rose and Doug Somers with their valet Sherri Martel are now entering the ring right now. Buddy Rose will be in singles action tonight against “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff.
Ken Resnick: Weighing in tonight at the weight of 271 pounds is Buddy Rose…..
Buddy Rose: Resnick, I heard that, hold on just a minute! That weight is not right! You’ve been given bad information! It's not 271 pounds, its 217 pounds! Get it right Resnick, come on!
Ken Resnick: As this match kicks off, it’s the”217 pound” Buddy Rose with Orndorff in an arm lock as referee Scrappy McGowan is in there to call the action for this match up.
Gordon Solie: Rose backs Orndorff into the corner, it'll be interesting to see if we can get a clean break your out of Rose as he is really working over the midsection on Orndorff.
Ken Resnick: What an incredible wrestling technique Rose possesses. We may make fun of his weight but I'll tell you the guy definitely has the skills to match his big mouth.
Gordon Solie: Buddy Rose now working over the leg of Mr. Wonderful. Orndorff was granted a wild card entry into the AWA Hercules Cortez Memorial Tag Team Tournament, but his partner has yet to be determined for next week.
Ken Resnick: Buddy Rose whips Orndorff into the ropes and connects with a version of the double team move that him and Somers utilize, the Ugly Face Killer as he calls it as he comes flying off the top rope with that giant shoulder block and connects with Paul Orndorff. That should probably be about it for this match.
Gordon Solie: Scrappy McGown is down for the count and that is a count of three as winning this matchup is “Playboy” Buddy Rose as he defeats “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff. Buddy Rose definitely gaining for momentum for his team heading into next week's big twenty team tournament!
Ken Resnick: There they are, the “Pretty Boy” Doug Somers and the “Playboy” Buddy Rose along with their valet, “Sensational” Sherri Martel. This is definitely a team that you have to put right up there at the top for the best odds of winning the AWA Hercules Cortez Memorial Tag Team Tournament next week. The winners will be taking home that big golden trophy as well as those beautiful tag team title belts! We will be right back here on AWA All-Star Wrestling right after these messages.
Gordon Solie: Back here on AWA All-Star Wrestling it is now time for……
Andy Kaufman: It's me, it’s me everybody! It’s me Andy Kaufman! You know, the AWA United States Champion! Now I know you’ll all be very disappointed by this news, but I have been told that I'm getting the night off tonight and that I don't have to defend my title in my Andy Kaufman Intergalactic Challenge. But here tonight, I have a very special present here for my good friend “Superstar” Billy Graham. The Andy Kaufman Cabaret of Hollywood Starts has applied for and been accepted for a bid to be in the AWA Hercules Cortez Memorial Tag Team Tournament next week. But you know I need to be in training full time for US title defense. So Billy, you’ll need a new partner to be in the tournament with you. So I have gone out and found the perfect partner for you and the perfect man to become the newest member of Andy Kaufman’s Cabaret of Hollywood Stars. Without further a due, let me introduce to you the newest member of Andy Kaufman's Cabaret of Hollywood Stars……
Andy Kaufman: Everyone the newest member of the Andy Kaufman Cabaret of Hollywood Stars is from Houston, Texas by way of Hollywood, California, here he is…”Gorgeous” Gino Hernandez! Are those shades thousand dollar designer sunglasses that he bought out on Rodeo Drive in Hollywood?!
Gino Hernandez: That's right Andy, you know I only come and hang out with the biggest stars that there is, I only hang around the prettiest girls, between my slicked back jet black hair and my beautiful tan body, there's only one group that I know I could've ever joined and that is the Andy Kaufman Cabaret of Hollywood Stars! With Billy Graham by my side you might as well put all your chips in the middle of the poker table next week, because “Gorgeous” Gino and “Superstar” Billy are going to walk out with that big gold trophy and those beautiful tag team title belts.
Andy Kaufman: You know what? That's right! You are going to win and you know why? Because I said so, because I am from Hollywood, and I am always right!
Ken Resnick: Coming back here on AWA All-Star Wrestling we have Tito Santana making his debut here as he takes on one of the members of the Snake Pit. We're not sure which one it will be, guess we’ll find that out in just a minute.
Gordon Solie: We saw Jake Roberts debut here a couple weeks ago and he seems to have some sort of vendetta with the “American Dream” Dusty Rhodes. Jake Roberts says that the American Dream is going to die and it will be all because of him. We will see if Dusty Rhodes cause can be helped out a little bit here tonight in that maybe Tito Santana can perhaps take one of these men out for Dusty.
Gordon Solie: This match is getting underway and quickly as Jake Roberts and the One Man Gang have exited the ring, meanwhile King Kong Bundy is grabbing Tito Santana and has him up in those giant arms with a massive bear hug. The weight and strength of this man is absolutely incredible.
Ken Resnick: Bundy has placed Santana in the corner and this can only mean one thing, Bundy is lining him up for his giant avalanche splash in the corner. Tito Santana better move now or else there might not be left much left of him to scrape off the mat once Bundy is through with him.
Gordon Solie: I can't believe that, King Kong Bundy with a massive avalanche. That is going to be all she wrote for poor Tito Santana for this match as he crumbles in the corner and could easily have a set of broken ribs at this point.
Ken Resnick: Adding injury on top of well….more injury, King Kong Bundy does his giant splash on the mat to Tito Santana and that'll be all this time as referee Marty Miller is down for the three count. Jake Roberts and the One Man Gang looking on with pride as the Snake Pit seems to be in full force here in the AWA right now.
Gordon Solie: Come on now! Jake Roberts has thrown referee Marty Miller over the top rope and to the floor.
Ken Resnick: That's probably going get him a letter in the mailbox from AWA President Stanley Blackburn telling him he’s going to have to pay a fine for attacking an official.
Gordon Solie: Meanwhile, King Kong Bundy and One Man Gang look to be setting Tito Santana up for that giant double splash they love to cripple opponents with.
Ken Resnick: Both men come crashing down at the same time, with over 1000 pounds of weight landing on the lifeless body of Tito Santana he's got to have multiple broken bones in his body. And would you look at Jake Roberts orchestrating everything. He seems to have some sort of mystical power with that mystical club that he carries around to the ringside area. Bundy and the Gang seem to listen to every last bit of instructions he gives them and follows them out to the letter when he puts the spell on them with that mystical club.
Gordon Solie: Here comes Dusty Rhodes as he has seen just about enough of this as Jake Roberts makes his way out of the ring as he does not want to be confronted by Dusty Rhodes at this point when Rhodes is all fired up.
ken Resnick: What a volatile situation this is we're going to have to keep an eye on this as Dusty Rhodes definitely is trying to get his hands on Jake Roberts but Jake just seems to be ducking and dodging any chance that he can get. We’ll be right back after we pay the bills with a message from our fine sponsors.
Ken Resnick: Back here on AWA All-Star Wrestling as AWA World Heavyweight Champion, Stan Hanson is in the ring with his partner Terry Funk. Looks like Hanson has got something to say with the microphone in hand.
Stan Hanson: Ric Flair, I heard that coming up in a couple weeks’ time the AWA will be having an special television episode entitled Clash of the Champions down at the Boutwell Auditorium in Birmingham, Alabama. And you know what, I heard that I have to defend my title against you and that will be the night that will be the night that I finally hit you with that Lariat and that will be the night that I finally put you away forever! I defeated you twice now why should I give you a third chance at this title? But I guess I have to if they tell me I have to. But mark my words, this is your last shot at the title. If you don’t do it this time you're done. No more chances will be coming your way. I need to move on and face the best there is here in the AWA and well, I have already proved time and again that you aren’t even close to being included that in that class of wrestlers!
Ken Resnick: Ric Flair has made his way out here to the ring as he is holding the NWA World Heavyweight Championship belt as Stan Hanson holds the AWA World Heavyweight Championship belt.
Ric Flair: Hanson, I'll tell you what, at AWA Clash the Champions we’ll up the stakes just to make it worth your while. I will put the NWA title up for grabs. That’s right, a double title match! My NWA title versus your AWA title, winner takes all! One man has the opportunity to walk out of Birmingham, Alabama carrying two titles over his shoulders
Stan Hanson: Yeah, I’ll accept the challenge. But like I said Flair, this is your last chance at the belt. No more shots after this! As a matter of fact, I am so sick of looking at your face out here each and every week, why don’t we just take care of this right now. I don't want to wait until AWA Clash of the Champions! Let's do this right now!
Ric Flair: You want to do now? Alright now let's do it right now! I don't need to wait until then either, I’ll gladly take the title belts right now!
Ken Resnick: We’re not going to have to wait until AWA Clash of the Champions for this big main event match! We’re going to get it here live on AWA All-Star Wrestling! Terry Funk is leaving the ringside area. Hanson is taking off his best, Flair is taking off his belt. Looks like we're going to have our main event match right now here on AWA All-Star Wrestling!
Gordon Solie: But before this monumental match can even start, Harley Race, the disgruntled former member of the Four Horsemen has attacked Ric Flair!
Ken Resnick: I can't believe this Harley Race is attacking Ric Flair when none of the other Four Horsemen are around.
Gordon Solie: I guess if you want to do this, this is probably the best time to do it when Flair has no backup.
Ken Resnick: Harley Race is out for revenge as he is driving Flair’s head right into the solid steel ring post. Flair could probably easily be split for open from this attack.
Gordon Solie: Meanwhile Stan Hanson is really enjoying this as he is just watching Harley Race destroy his opponent that he will be facing in a few weeks’ time at AWA Clash of the Champions. He’s got to be loving this.
Ken Resnick: Harley Race is out for just revenge, he’s out for permanent injury! Harley Race is going to go for his signature pile driver right onto that solid concrete floor! There's just a thin athletic mat out there, but that's not going to help out the neck and head of Ric Flair when he lands on the hard cement floor!
Gordon Solie: Thank goodness for Barry Windham coming out and attacking Harley Race from behind or else Ric Flair may have been carted out of here with a neck brace on. Before Race could pile drive Flair on the floor Windham attacks and makes the save.
Ken Resnick: The feud between Harley Race and the Four Horsemen is reaching a fever pitch here especially after this massive fight that we are seeing right now.
Ken Resnick: Barry Windham is attending to Ric Flair as Harley Race has been laid out on the floor with a huge Windham haymaker.
Gordon Solie: But look at Stan Hanson standing in the middle of the ring with both the AWA and NWA Championship belts. Is he going to walk out of here with both of them in his possession? It looks like he’s going to steal the NWA belt!
Ken Resnick:Remember that AWA Clash the Champions is coming up in three weeks’ time when these two meet for what we all hope is the final showdown. But next week, join us live on pay per view as we will be in Tokyo, Japan for the AWA Hercules Cortez Memorial Tag Team Tournament! That's all for AWA All-Star Wrestling this week! Good night everybody!
