Jim Ross: Welcome everyone to another action packed edition of AWA All-Star Wrestling. I am your host Jim Ross as this week are in Biloxi, Mississippi at the Gulf Coast Coliseum for wrestling action. As you’ll notice, the seat next to me is empty this week. I am not sure if there has been a scheduling mishap of some sort as I don’t have Ken Resnick, Gordon Solie or Gorilla Monsoon sitting next to me. I guess for the time being that I will be going it alone. Looks like to get things started this week we have the Hot Stuff International duo of Eddie Gilbert and Gino Hernandez. Last week at AWA Southwest Shootout, Eddie Gilbert settled things once and for all when he pinned Jimmy Garvin in the triangle tag team match and sent Garvin on the road permanently as he is forever banned from the AWA now.
Eddie Gilbert: Wasn’t it great last week Gino? Finally, all of my problems have been solved. Jimmy Garvin has been a pain in my neck since day one here in the AWA and finally, oh finally, he is gone, gone forever! I never thought I’d see the day when he was gone. Him and that snot nosed Precious are hitting the road for who knows where, but I could care less because they are not here. Gino, I want to thank you for helping me out in finally getting rid of Jimmy Garvin. I decided that I was going to give you a few special gifts this week here on AWA All-Star Wrestling as well as make a major announcement in the career of Eddie Gilbert. Missy Hyatt, could you please come down to the ring with the first gift for Gino.
Jim Ross: I’ve seen that jacket somewhere. That looks like the ring jacket of somebody I know.
Eddie Gilbert: Gino, I would like to present to you this trophy to you for your fine work in helping to rid the AWA of Jimmy Garvin. Yes, this is what you think it is. It was left in a hurry in the locker room after AWA Southwest Shootout and now it is yours Gino. Gino, wear this with pride, it is the ring jacket of Jimmy Garvin!
Jim Ross: Oh you’ve got to be kidding me, that jacket was a staple of the look of Jimmy Garvin and now Eddie Gilbert has taken the jacket and he’s giving it to Gino Hernandez.
Eddie Gilbert: My next gift I give to you is your freedom.
Gino Hernandez: My freedom?
Eddie Gilbert: Yes, I have decided to disband Hot Stuff International for the time being in order to pursue other interests. Oh trust me Gino, after all the work that you did back at AWA Southwest Shootout, they’ll be calling to sign you to one of the most lucrative contracts in the history of pro wrestling. You’re wrestling’s hottest free agent!
Missy Hyatt: Where’s that leave me Eddie? I am under contract to Hot Stuff International.
Eddie Gilbert: I am glad that you asked Missy. This brings me to my third gift to you Gino. Missy, you are now the valet of Gorgeous Gino Hernandez. With you two coming as a package deal, the money on your next contract will be through the roof and you two are both now wrestling’s hottest free agents! So where does that leave me with you two hitting the open market?
Eddie Gilbert: Hey Jimmy!
Jim Ross: Is this why this seat has been open? I’m not going to put up with this.
Eddie Gilbert: Oh, you will put up with it, you remember what I did to the last guy named Jimmy? I sent him packing! I have signed a new contract with the AWA to be a color commentator for AWA All-Star Wrestling as well as AWA PPV events!
Jim Ross: Ohh…joy..
Eddie Gilbert: How’s it go? We’ll be right back after these messages? Yea, that’ll work!
Roddy Piper: The old Hot Rod is back and I am here for another special edition of Piper’s Pit. Today, I have one of the newcomers here in the AWA as it is the man from the country music capital of the world, it’s the Honky Tonk Man. Honky, how ya doin’ today?
Honky Tonk Man: I am a doin’ just a fine Roddy. I am out here playin’ my guitar and things are going good.
Roddy Piper: The guitar? Now I’ll give it to you, that’s a fine musical instrument, but not as great a sound as the ol’ bagpipes.
Honky Tonk Man: The bagpipes? Are you kidding me?
Roddy Piper: We all know the real mean wear kilts and play the bagpipes.
Honky Tonk Man: What are you talking about Piper? I have made many a gold and even platinum records. I am a certified record breaking country music singer!
Roddy Piper: More like a certified karaoke signer to me.
Honky Tonk Man: That’s it, I’ve had enough of this, I’m out of here.
Jim Ross: Honky Tonk Man just nailed Roddy Piper with his guitar!
Eddie Gilbert: That’s what he gets for insulting country music, I am from Tennessee as well and if I was insulted by those comments, I can only imagine how the Honky Tonk Man felt!
Honky Tonk Man: Don’t go messin’ with country music now or else I am going to have to tune you up another time or two with this here guitar!
Eddie Gilbert: Ya, tell him Honky!
Jim Ross: We’ll be right back.
Eddie Gilbert: Wait, is that?
Jim Ross: That is Jake Roberts! We haven’t seen or heard from him since AWA Superdome Spectacular. He’s standing eerily still and not saying anything.
Jim Ross: I don’t know what just happened there, but it looks like our feed to Jake Roberts cut out before we even had a chance to hear him speak. Is he on his way back to the AWA?
Eddie Gilbert: Speaking of on their way, here comes the greatest big man in the AWA today, Great Kokina as he is teaming up with one of the New Zealand Sheepherders in Butch Miller to challenge for the AWA World Tag Team titles against the team that one them from the Sheepherders last week, the newcomers of Chris Adams and Terry Taylor.
Jim Ross: Here comes the champions….guess I spoke too soon. Chris Adams is walking down the aisle here of the Gulf Coast Coliseum but his partner, Terry Taylor, seems to be nowhere to be found.
Jim Ross: Here comes AWA President Stanley Blackburn down to the ring, hopefully we can get some clarification on this as I can’t see Chris Adams defending the title when he doesn’t have his partner in a tag team contest.
Stanley Blackburn: Chris, where is Terry?
Chris Adams: I don’t know where he is, I haven’t seen him all night.
Stanley Blackburn: You two have signed a title match to defend against Great Kokina and Butch Miller here tonight.
Eddie Gilbert: He should have to defend the titles by himself….
Stanley Blackburn: I am sorry then Chris, you only have two choices then, forfeit the titles to Kokina and Miller or fight by yourself, one man down.
Eddie Gilbert: I am so smart, I knew that Blackburn would do it. I am like one of those Magic 8 ball toys, I can predict the future!
Chris Adams: Mr. Blackburn, we were fighting men in winning these championships and we will be fighting men in defending these championships. Ring the bell!
Jim Ross: It is on, Chris Adams will be defending the AWA World Tag Team Championships by himself as he takes on the massive and dangerous combination of Great Kokina and Butch Miller.
Jim Ross: As if the 2 on 1 disadvantage wasn’t enough against this devastating duo, Great Kokina has already grabbed the upper hand in this match by attacking Chris Adams even before the bell rang.
Eddie Gilbert: The bell didn’t ring, are you sure? I’m pretty sure that was totally legal by Kokina. I heard it…ya, ding, ding, ding…see there it is!
Eddie Gilbert: No one is going to be able to stop this awesome athlete! Chris Adams is already begging for his mama and wanting to pack his bags back to jolly old England! Guess this hot shot new comer duo isn’t going to last like you all think it would!
Jim Ross: Oh……ugh. What a leg drop. Chris Adams has not been able to get a single shred of offense into this match so far. He is being absolutely pummeled and decimated by this nasty team that Lou Albano has put together.
Eddie Gilbert: I’m rubbing my hands together in anticipation Ross, these guys won’t have the tag belts much longer! Their title reign will be shorter than the career of Jimmy Garvin!
Jim Ross: Double team maneuver here now by Kokina and Butch Miller. At this point, I think these two are just toying with Adams. Why don’t they show him some mercy and pin him if they can?
Eddie Gilbert: Mercy? Oh he’s about to get mercy in the name of the Banzai Drop!
Jim Ross: Wait, what is this? Terry Taylor has just run down to ringside and just pulled his partner out of the way of the Banzai Drop!
Eddie Gilbert: Where’s he been? His alarm clock broken? Forget to call for one of those wake up calls at the hotel? Oh that one has gotten me before! I can relate!
Jim Ross: Supposedly, Terry Taylor was running late due to some transportation issues and was late arriving to the arena for the title match. But none the less, he’s here now to help his partner win this match!
Eddie Gilbert: Well, they aren’t going to win any matches like that swinging steel chairs right in front of referee Scrappy McGowan.
Jim Ross: Why would Terry Taylor do that? He had just rejuvenated the team with his arrival and within seconds he gets his team disqualified with a steel chair swing!
Jim Ross: Terry Taylor is continuing to swing that steel chair as Scrappy McGowan is calling for the bell. The winners of the match via disqualification will be Great Kokina and Butch Miller. However, the titles cannot change hands on a DQ so Adams and Taylor will retain the belts.
Jim Ross: I am not sure exactly what Adams and Taylor are conversing about right now but with the look on the face of Adams, he looks none too happy about what just occurred. I hope these guys can get things straightened out because they are a team that could rule the AWA tag team division for the foreseeable future as long as they stick together and work like a team. We’ll be right back.
Andy Kaufman: All of you fans…shut up! I am not in a good mood tonight. I haven’t been in a good mood since last week at AWA Southwest Shootout. You all saw it, you all know that John Stud should still be the AWA United States Champion. He was robbed by Jerry Lawler, Billy Graham and that hairless giant, Andre! But Lawler, there’s still one thing missing from your thrown as the so called king, you still don’t have the crown and you’ll never get it. Now onto other things, Billy Graham. Yes, he’s no longer Superstar to me, he loss that moniker when he decided to leave my Cabaret of Hollywood Stars. Billy, you made the worst mistake of your career leaving me. I always knew that deep down inside you were gutless and yellow, you never were Hollywood material and you never were going to be a star or a champion!
Jim Ross: I guess that’s all Superstar Billy Graham needed to get our next scheduled match under way! He has slid in the ring but just got cut off at the pass by a giant boot from John Stud.
Eddie Gilbert: Do you not listen Ross? His name is Billy Graham. There’s no Superstar in the name anymore!
Jim Ross: Oh what is this? That is a blatant choke hold from Studd!
Jim Ross: When it comes to these muscle men, their back can be a pivotal point in the source of their strength. John Stud is trying to take out that pivot point from Graham right now as his massive frame comes crashing down on the Superstar with a couple of huge knees to the back.
Eddie Gilbert: Ross….get it right, it’s not the Superstar anymore!
Eddie Gilbert: A bear hug being put on now by the crown jewel of the Cabaret of Hollywood Stars. I still can’t believe that Andre the Giant stuck his big nose in like that at AWA Southwest Shootout and cost this deserving champion his belt.
Jim Ross: Deserving? One might argue Eddie that Kaufman handed that belt to him on a silver platter.
Jim Ross: The showmanship and cockiness that Kaufman has instilled in Stud is coming out right now as he is posing for the cameras and the thousands in attendance here at the Gulf Coast Coliseum. Stud with a win tonight could get himself right back in the AWA US title picture with a win over the Superstar tonight.
Eddie Gilbert: You mean Billy Graham…not Superstar.
Eddie Gilbert: Let me handle this Ross, Billy Graham comes firing back with a clothesline that sends both he and the Hollywood star himself, John Stud, straight over the top rope and to the floor. These two men used to be great friends, but now….well the ego of Billy Graham got in the way and ruined it all.
Jim Ross: Oh brother….
Jim Ross: Just as Stud and Graham have spilled the action to the outside, Andy Kaufman is in the ring mocking Jerry Lawler that he has the crown to signify him as the King. You know just as well as I do that Jerry Lawler will absolutely not stand for this.
Jim Ross: The brawling on the outside has continued and referee Earl Hebner is calling for the bell as this one is going to be called a double count out.
Eddie Gilbert: Hey now! Why’d Lawler just hit Andy in the face unprovoked?!
Jim Ross: Unprovoked? Andy has been asking for it since day one here in the AWA.
Eddie Gilbert: Andy has a glamour shots appointment for next week, looks like he’s going to have to cancel that now!
Jim Ross: This is how it should be. Jerry Lawler punched Kaufman, took the crown off his head and is proudly displaying what is rightfully his.
Eddie Gilbert: Andy Kaufman beat Jerry Lawler in the middle of the ring, he’s the man with the crown.
Jim Ross: Will Jerry ever get a shot to regain the crown from Kaufman? I guess we will find out in the coming weeks. We’ll be right back.
Ric Flair: I know that I am not scheduled in the main event tonight here on AWA All-Star Wrestling, but I found it necessary that I come out here and address the crowd about the actions of the Four Horsemen last week at AWA Southwest Shootout. I am the AWA World Heavyweight Champion, the Four Horsemen know that I am the world champ. They will do anything in their power to make sure I stay on top. Dusty Rhodes, do I appreciate you helping us out a few weeks ago? Yes. But, I never said we were allies. Nikita Koloff, get out of my way, you got your title shot, you got beat, and I owe you nothing more. Lex Luger, he’s just a wannabe champion who couldn’t cut it and I had to let him go.
Jim Cornette: You call that a fair match last week? I have announced a formal protest and investigation into the actions of referee Danny Davis during that bout. It seems that days before the match a rather hefty sum of money was put into his checking account. Where’d that come from Ric?
Ric Flair: It wasn’t me, I have no clue what you’re even talking about.
Jim Cornette: Flair, this is not over, in the end, whether by hook or by crook, Nikita Koloff will have the AWA World title wrapped around his waist. I do have to admit though, you attacking Rhodes and his buddies last week was a stroke of pure genius.
Jim Ross: Dusty Rhodes, Lex Luger and Magnum TA have hit the ring and they are attacking the Jim Cornette Experience! They have not forgotten about last week. Dusty’s leg is still a little tender, but you only need one leg to stand on to throw that Bionic Elbow of his!
Eddie Gilbert: The exceptionally talented referee, Danny Davis, has rang the bell as the ring has been cleared and we are under way with our main event here on AWA All-Star Wrestling as it will be Magnum TA taking on Buzz Sawyer.
Jim Ross: Exceptional? He’s only an exceptional referee when he gets his palms greased with cash!
Jim Ross: Magnum TA may be a new comer to the AWA but he is certainly not a new comer to professional wrestling. Magnum is one of the premier wrestlers in the world today and is showing it as he has Buzz up for a big running power slam.
Eddie Gilbert: Ah c’mon, they are in the ropes, where’s the break? This is ridiculous!
Jim Ross: As Magnum TA rains down fist after fist on Buzz Sawyer, the officiating of Danny Davis is no more ridiculous here than it was last week when Nikita Koloff submitted in the match and Danny Davis decided to check on Ric Flair who was outside the ring and not even in the match at the time!
Eddie Gilbert: That a boy Buzz! I knew he’s come back! Buzz drops the elbows harder than anyone else in the AWA today.
Jim Ross: That was a short lived comeback for Buzz Sawyer as Magnum TA has just dominated this match as he connects with a massive clothesline to the Mad Dog.
Eddie Gilbert: You sure that wasn’t a closed fist punch? That looked like a closed fist punch.
Jim Ross: Here it comes, he is setting up for it, the signature move of Magnum TA that puts all of his opponents down for the count, the Belly to Belly Suplex!
Jim Ross: There it is, Magnum TA connects with the Belly to Belly Suplex and that’ll be it for Buzz Sawyer as this time Danny Davis makes the correct call and counts to three. The winner of your main event here on AWA All-Star Wrestling, Magnum TA!
Jim Ross: This situation over warring factions feuding over the AWA World title seems to be getting more and more bitter by the moment. As if we thought the walls weren’t closing in enough on Flair, he’s got not just Luger and Koloff after him, but the rest of their friends as well. That’s all the time we have this week for AWA All-Star Wrestling, for Eddie Gilbert, I am Jim Ross, good night everybody!
