Taped at The Junction in San Antonio, TX on 7/11 Southwest Championship Wrestling airing on Saturday 7/16 in local markets -Show intro- Steve Stack: Welcome to Southwest Championship Wrestling! We have a lot of news to get to in this hour but I want to start off by welcoming back two great stars that I know everyone here will be happy to see back in the area, Jose Lothario & El Gran Apollo! Jose Lothario: Everybody here know that San Antonio is my home and I was away from here for some time but now I heard about the Southwest Tag Team Title tournament and decide it's time to come home. I called my friend El Gran Apollo and asked him to come back from Puerto Rico to be my partner for the Southwest Tag Team Title tournament and be a champion that the latino people of Texas and all over the country can be proud of. Steve Stack: Well Jose I know everyone here is happy to see you back home in San Antonio and we can't wait to see you and El Gran Apollo in action together right after this break! -First commercial break-
Steve Stack: That's an impressive win by El Gran Apollo & Jose Lothario! I'd like to bring them back here now and ask them about their first round matchup in the Southwest Tag Team Title tournament on July, 31st at the HemisFair Arena. Jose, that was a very impressive victory for you and Apollo here today. What do you know about your first round opponents in the Southwest Tag Team Title Tournament, The Fabulous Rougeaus? Jose: Well Steve Stack really I don't know a lot about them, they wrestle mostly in Montreal & Quebec Canada and I've never been there but - Suddenly Tully Blanchard & Killer Khan walk into the interview area and Jose stops talking and stares them down. Tully Blanchard: Haven't we spent enough time on this show today talking about a has been and a never will be? When are we going to talk about how I am still the Southwest Heavyweight Champion and how I left Scott Casey AND Bob Sweetan laying face down on the mat Sunday night? Jose Lothario: Everybody knows you are not a real champion Tully Blanchard. You hide behind Killer Khan and try to weasel your way out of defending your title like a real man. You think I'm a has been Tully Blanchard? Then face me in the ring for the Southwest Heavyweight Title and don't bring your monster with you to the ring. Tully Blanchard: Jose how many times do I have to beat you for you to get the message? Do I really have to give you the Eric Embry treatment too? Why not make things interesting for me? You think that young pup there is ready to be a champion, let him step into the ring with me. Sunday night at the HemisFair Arena. I ask for some new competition around here and Lou Thesz brings in these pretty boys The Fabulous Ones to make all the girls scream and now here's another one, El Gran Apollo who is only here because some promoter thinks they'll sell tickets with his picture on the poster. Well that might work if the punk could wrestle, but he can't. That's why he didn't last here before and that's why he won't last now. Put him in the ring Sunday Night with me so I can make this stay in Southwest for Apollo even shorter than his last. Jose Lothario: I don't trust you Tully Blanchard, I know I am ready for any of your tricks but - El Gran Apollo: I will fight you Tully Blanchard! I am not afraid of you. I will wrestle you Sunday. And I will beat you. Tully starts laughing as Jose looks at El Gran Apollo with disappointment. Jose: Fine Tully Blanchard. You got what you want. But I promise you I will have El Gran Apollo ready for you and he is going to take your Southwest Title. Jose Lothario and El Gran Apollo walk off to the left leaving Tully & Killer Khan at the interview position with Steve Stack. Tully: Finally! This show can finally focus on something important, it's Southwest Heavyweight Champion! You see I still have this title Steve Stack, just like I told you I would. And I will keep this title forever unless Lou Thesz actually gives me someone better to wrestle than the Scott Caseys and Bob Sweetans of the world. Steve Stack: You are out here name dropping Eric Embry, do you have any idea what you did to that man last week? He had to be rushed to the hospital and have a tube stuck down his throat to breathe due to the swelling around his troat due to what Killer Khan did to him! Tully: Well you just said it Steve Stack, Killer Khan did it. I stood right here beside you and watched it. You'll also remember I called Killer Khan off from hurting the man even more. So maybe you should thank me. But since you're out here giving Eric Embry's status report, did you tell the people what happened when Eric Embry left the hospital? Did you tell them that Eric Embry packed up all his things and left the state of Texas? That he went all the way to Portland, to the Pacific Northwest and told everyone who would listen that he would never come back to the state of Texas as long as Killer Khan was there? Well that's what happened Steve Stack! And Eric Embry was the lucky one, he was the one who was smart enough not to come back for more! Do you know what that idiot Scott Casey did? He called Lou Thesz and begged him for a match with Killer Khan! Instead of taking his beating at the HemisFair arena and realizing he has no chance against this monster from Mongolia, he instead signs his own death warrant. And make no mistake, that's what his contract to wrestle Killer Khan on Sunday night is: a death warrant. So Steve Stack do one favor for me, when you see Scott Casey later tonight tell him Tully Blanchard says he's a dead man walking. Tully Blanchard & Killer Khan leave the interview area and Steve Stack says "Don't go away, we'll be back after this and we'll see the footage of just what happened between Tully Blanchard, Scott Casey & Killer Khan at the HemisFair Arena!" -Second commercial break- Steve Stack: We're back here on Southwest Championship Wrestling and I have with me now Scott Casey & Mr. Piledriver Bob Sweetan! Right now I'd like to take a look with you two gentleman at the footage of the closing moments of the main event from last Sunday night at the HemisFair arena. Bob Sweetan: Well right here you see me at ringside with my shoulder taped up. This Fidel Sierra guy, who you might as well call 'Tully's Top Gun.' Steve Stack: Now why would you say that? Bob Sweetan: Because he spent the whole match we had earlier in the night trying to injure my shoulder and never once tried to pin me. That's why you see that tape around my shoulder. Every time I had things going my way, he'd slink out of the ring or stick his fingers in my eyes and go right back to working on my arm. And where is he today Steve Stack? Why did he refuse to come on TV today? Scott Casey: Look right here! Now I've got Tully on the run! I'm rocking him with punches and he's staggering around and I've got him set up for the bulldog but Killer Khan jumps up on the apron so I hit him with a right hand that sends him down off the apron and Bob Sweetan introduces a steel chair upside his big Mongolian head! Bob Sweetan: But right there after I take out Killer Khan, here comes 'Tully's Top Gun' who attacks me from behind and runs my shoulder into the ringpost. Now look at him run off like the coward that he is! Scott Casey & the referee see what happen and as Scott Casey & Jack Howe have their back turned, Tully Blanchard like the low down scum that he is, hits Scott Casey below the belt and rolls him up for the pin. Scott Casey: That's the kind of champion Tully is? He can come out here and show his face and brag about winning the match when that's what he has to do to slink away with his belt? Steve Stack: And then that wasn't enough. Tully is being handed his Southwest Title here and nows he slams it down over your head! And then Killer Khan & Tully Blanchard both came in and starting putting the boots to you. Now there's Bob Sweetan coming in to try and help you but Killer Khan jams that thumb right into your shoulder and sends you down to the mat! Tully & Killer Khan put the boots to both of you before finally the locker room emptied to clear them out of the ring. Bob Sweetan: Steve Stack I've never felt the kind of sharp pain go through my entire body the way it did when Killer Khan jammed that thumb into my injured shoulder. My shoulder was numb for 2 days and it still hurts like crazy now but it's not going to stop me from getting my revenge. I'm going to Piledrive your Top Gun right back to Cuba and Scott Casey is going to take care of your monster from Mongolia. Scott Casey: That's right, Tully can say what he wants about my match with Killer Khan on Sunday at the HemisFair Arena but I know what I'm capable of. As long as he doesn't get a chance to jam that thumb into my throat I can beat him and I want everyone to come out Sunday night and cheer me on so I can send Killer Khan right back out of Texas! Scott Casey & Bob Sweetan leave to their left and Steve Stack brings in Lord Alfred Hayes and "Golden" Moose Cholak. Steve Stack: Lord Alfred your man was successful in his first match here in the area, pinning The Masked Wildfire in a very quick fashion. But he didn't quite seem to fit into some of the things you said here on Southwest Championship Wrestling here last week. You made it sound like you were bringing a real mat technician here but we never saw this man do anything but punches & forearms in his match against The Masked Wildfire. Lord Alfred: Steven Stack, you only expose your own ignorance with your criticisms of that which you do not understand. Why should my man expose any more of his repertoire than is necessary for the opponent in front of him? Is it his fault that the promoters of Southwest Championship Wrestling could not find more suitable competition that would have been capable of making him exhibit more of his skill? I believe this man is capable of executing any wrestling maneuver that has ever been or will be invented and I am sure with time he will give you all the pleasure of seeing him do so. Unfortunately I do not expect it will be today as he has once again been given inferior competition with this newcomer today. Steve Stack: It is true that this young man Steve Pardee is a newcomer to the area, but he's not a newcomer to the sport. He's got four years under his belt as this point and has worked all up and down the West Coast. Lord Alfred: Four years!? What are four years of experience compared to THIRTY!? Steven Stack please try not to insult my intelligence or those of the viewing audience by suggesting that this insufferable youth has a chance against someone who has the experience of wrestling against men like former World Heavyweight Champion Pat O'Connor. Now if you are done with pretending Steve Pardee has a real chance here today, let's move on to the task at hand so Moose Cholak can display to the world his legendary prowess. Steve Stack: He'll certainly have the opportunity to demonstrate his abilities today but only after we take this quick time out! Don't go away, we'll be right back on Southwest Championship Wrestling! -Third commercial break-
Lord Alfred Hayes is beside himself at ringside! He starts shouting at the referee about a fast count as Moose struggles to pull himself back up to his feet, having to use the ropes to do so. Steve Stack: Well this has certainly been an interesting turn of events! I'm sure we'll be hearing about Lord Alfred later about the result of that match but right now we have a video of The Fabulous Ones including footage from their debut at the HemisFair arena! Fabulous Ones 'Everybody wants you' video plays with footage of them working out interspersed with clips of their dominant win over Eddy Mansfield & Terry Adonis. Steve Stack: It sounds like everybody here at The Junction wants The Fabulous Ones, and they are going to get them because I'll talk to The Fabs right after this break! -Fourth commercial break- Steve Stack: Well we're back here on Southwest Championship Wrestling, but it's not with the team I was expecting to be talking to at this time. Eddy Mansfield: That's right Steve Stack, you have the privilege of talking to The Continental Lover instead of those two wannabes pretending that they are real Ladies Men like myself. You just saw in that video how they had to win Sunday night, they had to use a chain and knock me and my partner out and that's the only reason The Continental Lover lost that match. But I'm not done yet, I've got myself a new partner now, America's #1 Cowboy Roy Lee Welch from Oklahoma and THIS Sunday at the HemisFair Arena we are going to show everybody that The Fabulous Ones aren't so tough when they don't have a chain to hit somebody with! Eddy Mansfield & Roy Lee Welch leave to go to the ring as Steve Stack says "Well we did have this match scheduled next so let's go down to the ring for Eddy Mansfield & Roy Lee Welch vs. Mike Jackson & The Masked Wildfire!
Steve Stack: Now I'd like to finally bring in the newest sensation in the Southwest area, Stan Lane & Steve Keirn - The Fabulous Ones! The Fabs come out in their jackets and top hats to a huge ovation from the crowd in The Junction. Steve Stack: That's quite a reaction from the fans here today! How does it feel to hear this kind of reaction in your first appearance here at The Junction? Stan Lane: It feels great Steve Stack! We're glad the fans here have given us such a great welcome here into the area and we plan on repaying their support by winning the Southwest Tag Team Title Tournament on July 31st at the HemisFair arena! Steve Stack: Your opponents in the first round of the tournament are coming in from the AWA in the Mid-West, The Wild Bills of Billy Jack Haynes & Bill Irwin, and I heard you guys recently had a little run in with them recently up in Winnipeg. Steve Keirn: That is true, we went up to Winnipeg for a big event celebrating Canada Day and we came up against The Wild Bills. They couldn't handle the fact that they weren't on our level so they tried to make things even by using their bullrope to bust my head open. When we found out they were going to be in the Southwest Tag Team Title tournament we begged Lou Thesz to make them our opponents in the first round and I can't wait to get my hands on them against after what they did to me in Winnipeg. Steve Stack: Well before you get to July 31st, you have another team in your path this Sunday at the HemisFair Arena. Eddy Mansfield had a few things to say about the way you guys won the match against him last week and has challenged you to a rematch with his new partner. Stan Lane: If Eddy Mansfield didn't want to get hit with a chain then he should have told his partner not to bring it to the ring with him. Anybody who saw that match knows we could have easily beat them without using a chain but since they wanted to try and use it on me I didn't see any reason not to fight fire with fire. Steve Keirn: We're not worried about Eddy Mansfield, he can find whatever partner he wants to try us again. Our real focus is on the Southwest Tag Team Titles and we're fine with using Eddy as a punching bag until then. Steve Stack: Well fans you just heard it from a very confident Fabulous Ones team! Don't miss them in action this Sunday Night at the HemisFair arena and all throughout the Southwest area! When we come back we'll hear from The Assassins and have our main event of Rick McGraw vs. Mike Masters! -Fifth & final commercial break- Steve Stack: We're back on Southwest Championship Wrestling and on my format sheet here it says The Assassins but with me now is just The Assassin #1. Where is Assassin #2? The Assassin: Don't you worry about where The Assassin #2 is. And don't just assume that he isn't here. That's the advantage of wearing this mask. I could have been sitting out in the audience last week and you wouldn't have known it, Assassin #2 could have already been on this show today and you wouldn't have a clue. I assure you I have a very capable partner to wear the mask of Assassin #2 and that we have every intention of winning the Southwest Tag Team Titles on July 31st. Steve Stack: Well before you get to the tournament on July 31st you have a match with Ken Lucas & Charlie Cook this Sunday night as The HemisFair Arena. Do you have any thoughts on your opponents Sunday night? The Assassin: Yes I do. But I don't plan on sharing them with you or these people. I traveled all the way here to Texas for this tournament and get informed today that Lou Thesz has decided that if Ken Lucas & Charlie Cook beat myself and Assassin #2 on Sunday night then they may take our spot in the Southwest Tag Team Title tournament. I can assure you that will not happen. I have already conducted my scouting report on Ken Lucas & Charlie Cook and I am confident enough to guarantee victory on Sunday night. But I do not appreciate the disrespect that has been shown to me by Southwest Championship Wrestling by inviting me to this tournament and then attempting to pull the rug out from under me once I already spent money out of my own pocket to come here. And they may find that once the tournament is over and The Assassins have the Southwest Tag Team Titles, that sitting down at the negotiation table with us to get us to defend the titles might get rather expensive. The Assassin leaves to his left and Rick McGraw comes in from the right. Steve Stack: Now that we've heard from The Assassin it's time to bring in 'Quick Draw' Rick McGraw! Rick you've had some problems over the past week with newcomer to the area Mike Masters. We saw him beat you last week by holding onto the ropes for leverage and then at The HemisFair Arena Sunday night, he rammed your head into the exposed turnbuckle and knocked you out. Rick McGraw: Steve this guy has only been here a week but I'm already sick of him! Every time we get in the ring he doesn't want to do anything but cheat, flex & run away from me! Well I'm gonna make a promise right now that if I don't beat him today right here on TV I will leave the area! Steve Stack: Wow! Rick that's a big statement, are you sure about this? McGraw: You're about to see just how sure I am. Rick McGraw does down to the ring and Steve Stack says "Well I guess that's my cue to send it down to the ring for our main event!"
Steve Stack: What a despicable act by Mike Masters! He could have seriously injured Rick McGraw by refusing to let him out of that full nelson! Fans we're almost out of time but I want to remind everyone to come down to the HemisFair Arena this Sunday night for another HUGE night of action feauting The Cowboy Scott Casey facing the Monster from Mongolia, Killer Khan, Tully Blanchard defending the Southwest Title against El Gran Apollo, The Fabulous Ones in action again...wait a minute! What is this? The camera goes back to the ring where Killer Khan has hit the ring and attacked Rick MCGraw! Jack Howe tries to stop him but gets tossed out of the ring! Rick McGraw struggles to rise as Killer Khan raises his taped thumb into the air and as McGraw finally gets back to hits feet, Killer Khan strikes and jams his thumb into the throat of Rick McGraw! McGraw goes down to the mat holding his throat and writhing in pain! Killer Khan takes off as Bob Sweetan, Scott Casey & The Fabulous Ones rush down to the ring! Steve Stack: Fans I can't believe this! Rick McGraw could be seriously injured! Something is going to have to be done about this monster Killer Khan! Will Scott Casey be the one to do it Sunday night at the HemisFair arena? We're out of time! Join us next week for more Southwest Championship Wrestling!
