Tony St. Clair will defend the TV title against Siva Afi. Tiger Jeet Singh will be in action tonight! Gigantic 8 man tag main event as Dick Slater, Rip Oliver, Duke Myers and DJ Peterson will clash with Dr. Dream Machine, Tommy Rich, Timothy Flowers and Kevin Kelly. That should be..... wait a minute! What! Fans we have some sort of fight going on in the parking lot. Our cameras are on it. Cameramen are running down the hall and kick open the back door to the parking lot. Jerry Lawler and Terry Funk are in the middle of a slugfest! They're fighting all over the place. Security members run out to stop it but Funk and Lawler throw them aside and resume their fight! Funk gets the upper hand and slams Lawler's head on the hood of a car! Funk grabs Lawler by his hair and slams his head on the car's side door. Lawler's head is busted open. More Security along with officials and prelim wrestlers run out. Funk gets in his car and backs out. Everybody helps Lawler up. Lawler brushes them away and stands up. Somebody yells "Look Out!" Funk is driving full throttle at Lawler! Lawler dives out of the way at the last second as Funk's car crashes into a parked car. Funk opens his door and staggers out. Lawler goes after him but everybody gets in between the two. It's a chaotic scene as a commercial hits. Commercial Break Lance: I don't know what to say. That was one of the most shocking things I've ever witnessed. I understand Lawler has been taken to a nearby hospital. I also understand Funk is being questioned by authorities. More on this as it develops. Let's go to the ring. Sweet Ebony Express vs. Gary Williams and Todd Rooney Norvell and Sugar are electric tonight as they have the fans up and cheering. Norvell back drops Rooney then tags in Sugar. Sugar goes to the top rope. Rooney staggers up and Sugar nails him with a missile dropkick for the win! They pump their fists to the fans and head to the podium. Norvell: Lone Stars! Boys, you are going to regret the day you messed with the oh so sweet Ebony Express! Sugar: That's right, come Labor Day at Star Wars, we're going to beat you at your own game! And I'm talking about a good ol fashion fight baby! Commercial Break "The Electrifying" Ben Bassarab vs. Trent Watkins Bassarab is all over Watkins with his high flying offense. Bassarab hits a vertical suplex then goes to the top rope and crashes down with a flying leg drop for the pin! Commercial Break TV Title Bout Tony "Simply the Best" St. Clair (C) w/Les Thornton vs. "The Polynesian Prince" Siva Afi Tony executes a couple hip tosses and says to Siva "That's how it's done" They lock up and this time Siva hip tosses him over. Tony gets up and Siva dropkicks him through the ropes. Les runs over to help Tony while Siva shakes his fists to the cheering fans. Tony gets on the apron but doesn't want to get in the ring. Him and the Ref are arguing. Siva walks over and Tony rakes his eyes, then snaps his head on the top rope. Tony picks up Siva and hits a delayed vertical suplex, then picks up Siva and hits a gut wrench suplex, then follows with a German suplex 1..2..Siva raises his shoulder. From the outside Les is yelling at the Ref. Tony executes a backbreaker then climbs to the top rope and goes for a flying elbow drop but Siva moves! Siva clears the cobwebs, picks up Tony and hits a snap suplex. Siva swings off the ropes and delivers a jumping knee drop 1..2..Kick Out! Les jumps on the apron. Siva runs over and a chop puts Les down. Siva body slams Tony then goes to the top rope. TUI SELINGA runs out and pushes Siva off the rope! The Ref signals for the DQ. Leilani Kai is telling Tui to put the hurt on Siva. Tui hits the ring and puts the boots to Siva. Tony staggers up and joins in. Les even gets in the ring and joins in. Boos as they stomp away on Siva. The boos turn to cheers as Yoshiaki Yatsu and Masanobu Fuchi run in and quickly clear the ring! Commercial Break Lance: What a shame. Siva Afi was on his way to becoming the TV champ until Tui Selinga interfered. At Star Wars, Siva will go one on one with Selinga. Also Tony St. Clair will defend the TV title against Yoshiaki Yatsu. Les Thornton better watch out because I'm sure Fuchi will be watching his friend's back. Back to the ring. Sunny War Cloud vs. Willie Lopez Sunny's head is bandaged up from that ring bell shot last week by Vinnie Valentino. It doesn't seem to affect him much because Sunny makes quick work of Lopez and finishes him off with a tomahawk chop from the top rope! Cheers as Sunny heads to the podium. Sunny: Vinnie Valentino! You're nothing but a coward! Yea you nailed me real good but as you can see the only thing you did was make me mad. You and I will meet very soon and when it's over I'll be the only one standing! The fans cheer as Sunny yells out a War Cry. Commercial Break "Champagne" Gerry Morrow vs. Vic Dutro Morrow finishes the match with a sleeper. Morrow grabs a bottle and glass and heads to the podium. Lance: Ok, I know you're having a good time but you better be ready for Porkchop Cash at Star Wars. Morrow pours champagne into his glass. Morrow: First things first, a toast to another fine victory. Morrow takes a drink. Morrow: AAAHHHH! That's the good stuff. Porkchop Cash is a foolish man. For the first time in his pathetic life, I gave him the chance to come with me and enjoy the finer things. He was very rude and ended up getting knocked out. I will do the same at Star Wars. Now onto other things. Lance, did you know I just bought a brand new Cadillac? Lance: No, I wasn't aware. Morrow: Of course, I should of known. You're just like Porkchop Cash, not in my class, not even close. Morrow laughs and walks out. Lance: (Rolling his eyes) Alright, we'll be right back Commercial Break A Car is driving down a road as the camera looks ahead then turns to the driver. It's Bulldog Bob Brown. Bob drives the car up to a house and parks. Bob: This is the place. Follow me. They get out and walk towards the house. A man is sitting on his porch carving on a piece of wood. The camera zooms in revealing Mike George. Mike looks up and sees Bob. He stops what he's doing. Bob: Hello Mike, it's been awhile. Mike: Bob, this is quite the surprise. What are you doing here? Bob: I've come to bring you back. Back to wrestling. Mike: (long pause) Bob, I think you wasted your time. I'm done for awhile...maybe forever. Bob: I want you to listen up and quit feeling sorry for yourself. So that jerk Arnold Skaaland gave up on you. So your previous tag team partners gave up on you. So what! The Mike George I know beat me for the Central States title once upon a time. That's the Mike George I want to see again! I'm here to help you and show the world just who you really are. Now get up and let's get started! Mike looks down unsure of what to do. Bob: Come on Mike. I'm here to help. Come on and let's do this. Mike slowly looks up and nods. Mike rises and shakes Bob's hand. Bob: That a boy! Back live Lance: Well ok, it looks like Bob Brown has returned and it seems he wants to get Mike George back on track. I'm sure we'll be seeing more of this. Fans, get ready because when we come back, Tiger Jeet Singh will be in the ring. I have to admit, I'm a little nervous about this. Commercial Break Tiger Jeet Singh vs. Carl Kellerman There's a big commotion as Singh heads to the ring swinging his sword around like a madman. An attendant is in the aisle and Singh pushes him over then kicks him. Singh hits the ring and nails Carl with his sword then starts choking him. The Ref tries to pull him off but Singh grabs him and throws him out of the ring. Singh starts beating down on Carl with his sword. Massive cheers as Carlos Colon hits the ring and nails Singh from behind! Colon and Singh are brawling all over and through the ropes! They keep fighting and fight into the crowd! For the second time tonight, Security, officials and prelim wrestlers run out to try and stop this. It's another crazy scene. Commercial Break Lance: This has been one of the wildest shows I've ever been a part of. My goodness! Ok, things seem under control, back to the ring. "Super" Steve O vs. Arnold Goldstein Steve takes off his Superman T-Shirt and is ready for action. Steve simply outclasses his opponent and wins the match with a flying body press. Steve puts his shirt back on and goes to the podium. Steve: Lance, you've been through a lot tonight so I'll take it from here. You know it's villains like Jerry Lawler and Carlos Colon that put innocent people in danger. I want you and all these great people to know that Super Steve O will not rest until all the villains in the USWA have been eradicated! Lance, fear not because Super Steve O is on the job! Steve exits. Lance: I wonder where Super Steve was during all that chaos earlier. Ok, we'll be back. Commercial Break The camera pans in on the pink "Beauty Shop" sign then zooms in on Brenda Britton. Brenda: Hi everybody and welcome once again to the highest rated segment in wrestling the Beauty Shop. As you all know I have all the inside scoops and right now I want to announce that on September 4th, the night before Star Wars, the USWA will have a special TV show broadcasted from the Sportatorium in Dallas. And listen to this, a team that I have a financial investment in will make their televised in ring debut. I'm talking about none other than the Company Men! I can't wait. Now, speaking of great tag teams, my guests tonight are two of my favorite people, Steve Regal and Chick Donovan, the Fabulous Blondes. Boos as The Fabulous Blondes strut out. They each take Brenda's hand and give it a kiss. Brenda: Oh my, such gentlemen. Now, I defiantly watched last week as those cheating RPMS cheated their way to a title shot. The politics here are ridiculous. Chick: Absolutely right Brenda. A woman with brains like you have, totally sees what's going on. Regal: RPMS! Jerry Jarrett says that was the last match against you but we say no way! You cheated us out of a tag title shot and we're not going to let it slide! Brenda: I support you guys all the way! Ok that's it for this week, until next time tooooodles. Commercial Break USWA Tag Team Champs The Karachi Vice vs. Sam Smith and Roy Glader Makhan powerslams Smith over, then swings off the ropes and hits a big body splash! Makhan tags in Gama. Gama applies the camel clutch and it's all over. Boos as they head to the podium. Lance: Ok, last week the RPMS defeated the Fabulous Blondes to earn a shot at those tag titles on Labor Day at Star Wars. Makhan: The who? Those two pretty boys don't stand a chance against a devastating force like us! Gama: For months we have held these titles and nobody has come close to defeating us! At Star Wars we are going to make an example of that weak team. The only thing they earned was a severe beating by us! Lance: Ok there you have it from the USWA tag team champs. Our big main event when we come back. Commercial Break Central States Champ "Unpredictable" Dick Slater, "Crippler" Rip Oliver, "The Wrecking Machine" DJ Peterson and Duke Myers vs. Dr. Dream Machine, "Mr. Magnificent" Kevin Kelly, "Diamond" Timothy Flowers and Tommy "Wildfire" Rich w/ "The Memphis Mafia Man" Johnny Rich It's defiantly been a night of chaos and this match continues the flow. It's a wild one and the Ref has a tough time controlling it. Slater and Dream Machine have their brawling moments. DJ and Kelly give the fans a good slugfest. Flowers tries to avoid Myers. Oliver gets in a lot of shots on Rich. Everybody knew it would happen and it did. A pier six brawl starts and it's pandemonium! Slater clotheslines Dream Machine over the top rope then goes out after him. DJ and Kelly end up brawling through the ropes and to the outside. Oliver hurls Rich to the outside and follows but Johnny nails him from behind. Tommy and Johnny put the boots to Oliver. Inside the ring, Myers finally gets a hold of Flowers and put him down with a back elbow smash. Myers looks out and sees the Rich's double teaming Oliver. Myers goes to the ropes. Flowers pulls something out of his tights. Flowers runs over and clocks Myers on the back of his head then rolls him over as the Ref counts 1..2..3! Slater and Dream are fighting on the outside while DJ and Kelly are brawling on the other side. The Rich's pick Oliver up and push him into the steel post, busting him open. While all this is going on, Flowers runs to the podium. Flowers: Did you se that Lance! I told you I would do it and I did! I beat that dope Duke Myers! HAHAHAHA I told you, I'm the mailman and I always deliver! Lance: Ok, enough, we need more help out here. Fists are still flying as the commercial hits. Commercial Break Lance: Oh my, what a show. Fans, you're not going to believe this but Jerry Lawler will not press charges against Terry Funk and instead wants him in the ring next week. I've been told that next week, here on TV, Jerry Lawler will team with Carlos Colon to face Terry Funk and Tiger Jeet Singh! I can't believe it. I really hope Jerry Jarrett brings in extra security. My goodness. Fans, I'll see you next week. Labor Day Star Wars 9-5-85 Fort Worth Convention Center USWA Heavyweight Title Bout Jerry "The King" Lawler (C) vs. Terry Funk USWA Tag Team Title Bout Karachi Vice (C) vs. The Rock n Roll RPMS Central States Title Bout "Unpredictable" Dick Slater (C) vs. Dr. Dream Machine TV Title Bout- No time limit Tony "Simply the Best" St. Clair (C) w/Les Thornton vs. Yoshiaki Yatsu Grudge Match Carlos Colon vs. Tiger Jeet Singh "Crippler" Rip Oliver vs. Tommy "Wildfire" Rich w/The Memphis Mafia Man Johnny Rich The Lone Stars vs Sweet Ebony Express "The Polynesian Prince" Siva Afi vs. "The Tidal Wave" Tui Selinga w/Leilani Kai Porkchop Cash vs. "Champagne" Gerry Morrow Hercules Ayala vs. "The Real Thing" Ripper Morgan w/Leilani Kai "The Wrecking Machine" DJ Peterson vs. "Mr. Magnificent" Kevin Kelly The Grapplers have challenged the Road Warriors???

Solid card in Eugene. Blackwell and Nord will always be a fun hard hitting match up between two monsters. No doubt Brookside will get some valuable experience by being in the ring with Taylor. Zenk gets a much needed win over Starr to get back on the winning track. The 6 man tag match alone would of been worth the price of admission. Busick once again gets the shine with his Spinebuster slam! Fun TV title match as Red once again retains, this time over a game Tatum.

What an action packed night of tag team wrestling! Every since their attitude change, the Guerreros have been on a roll. Busick gets the pin on Manny. Busick is quickly rising the ranks. Love that spinebuster slam finisher. Hyatt's men vs. Hart's men is the type of feud that can go on forever. So many different match ups. The Snakepit is on the verge of taking over Pacific. That British Steel/Flamboyance match is a show stealer. WOW! Buddy Rose and Billy Jack on the same side! What a moment for the Portland fans! Can this unlikely duo eventually win the titles? It's going to be a fun ride. Steamboat and Southern Boys win round 1 over the Freebirds. Gordy and Steamboat at Firestorm could be the match of the year.

The AWA is back baby! Show kicks off with a bang as Parsons, Slick, Conway and Whatley make their presence and unity known. WOW! The Rockers are heels and have aligned with Sherri! This is what fantasy booking is all about. Sheepherders get a big TV win over the Killer Bees. I'm glad you're keeping the TV title lottery. We're guaranteed a good match every week. I know Martel isn't going to let HTM get away with that guitar shot. LOL! Slinker shows off his martial arts skills then gets knocked out cold by Garvin. This was great. The Piper/Percy segment was hilarious. Piper is gold on the mic. I wonder who Percy is bringing in? Savage looks better than ever but then takes a vicious beating from Bass and Jaggers! I'm thinking Savage is going to find himself a partner to get some payback. I like the highlights of the guys who weren't on the show. Like Den mentioned, keeps them fresh in the fans minds. Awesome start! And yes, Wahoo, you defiantly know how to scout talent.

USWA House Shows 8-15 to 8-20 Dunn Center, Eblen Center, Ellis Auditorium "Super" Steve O vs. Larry Hazelton Steve wins it with a flying press. The Technicians vs. The Medics w/Leilani Kai After a few minutes all four men are fighting. In the middle of all the chaos, Rheingans cradles Medic 2 for the pin! Medics quickly get their heat back with a post match beating on the Technicians. Duke Myers vs. "Mr. Magnificent" Kevin Kelly These two take a break from their other feuds. You would think they were involved in a feud with each other because things get intense. They fight to the outside. The Ref counts as fists are flying. Kelly is going for a piledriver but Myers back drops him on the concrete and rolls back in the ring to beat the count and get the win. Tiger Jeet Singh vs. "The Electrifying" Ben Bassarab Singh is a madman as the boos thunder down on him while he swings his sword at the fans. Singh storms the ring and nails Bassarab with the sword! Singh beats Bassarab down as the Ref is trying to pull him off. A swarm of officials hit the ring and warn Singh. Singh threatens them with his sword before leaving. The match is a no contest. Hercules Ayala and "The Polynesian Prince" Siva Afi vs. "The Real Thing" Ripper Morgan and "The Tidal Wave" Tui Selinga w/Leilani Kai Wild tag match! Ayala and Morgan provide the hard hitting power while Siva and Tui provide some high flying action. Things get crazy when Siva and Tui fight to the outside while Ayala and Morgan brawl through the ropes on the other side. The Medics run down and ambush Siva! They grab a chair but the Technicians run down and attack the Medics! Siva grabs the chair and hits Tui, then rolls him in the ring. The Ref is still watching Ayala and Morgan tear into each other. Siva goes to the top rope and crashes down with a splash! The Ref turns around and counts 1..2..3! "Crippler" Rip Oliver vs. Tommy "Wildfire" Rich w/"The Memphis Mafia Man" Johnny Rich Once again these guys are both bleeding within minutes. After a wild 10 minutes, the Ref takes a bump. Oliver is in total control but Johnny Rich jumps off the top rope and nails him with a foreign object. Oliver goes down. Johnny puts Tommy on top, then throws the Ref over. The Ref slowly counts 1..2..3! Porkchop Cash and The Sweet Ebony Express vs. The Fabulous Blondes and "Champagne" Gerry Morrow This match keeps the fans on the edge of their seats. These guys go all out for over 30 minutes. Fabs and Express go back and forth with a fast pace. Cash gets his moments with Morrow but Morrow was always quick to tag out. The finish sees Cash knock Morrow off the apron. Norvell sends Regal flying. And Sugar nails Chick with a missile drop kick for the pin! Mega pop to end the night. USWA House Shows 8-15 to 8-20 Corpus Christi Convention Center, Amarillo Civic Center, Humble Civic Center The Company Men (Arthur Crews and Kenneth Timbs) vs. Dave Penson and Joey Souza Yea, the Texas fans don't like these corporate types. They end the match with a double DDT. "The Japanese Fury" Yoshiaki Yatsu vs. "Diamond" Timothy Flowers Flowers breaks all the rules but cant put Yatsu away. Flowers makes the mistake of yelling at the Ref to long. He turns around and Yatsu blasts him with a super kick to the head for the crowd pleasing win. "The Wrecking Machine" DJ Peterson vs. "The Vin Man" Vinnie Valentino DJ makes a big comeback and is all over Vinnie. DJ swings Vinnie to the ropes and sends him flying out of the ring with a flying shoulder block! Vinnie's woman rush to him and help him up but Vinnie falls back down. Vinnie staggers up again and waves his arms. The woman escort him to the back as he gets counted out. American Made vs. The Lone Stars Hard hitting match. The Ref is guiding Kirchner to his corner when Deaton comes from behind and nails Kirchner with a high knee to the back. Lone Stars double team Kernodle and finish him off with a double clothesline for the win! Non Title Match TV Champ Tony "Simply The Best" St. Clair w/Les Thornton vs. Masanobu Fuchi Fuchi gives St. Clair more than he can handle. Fuchi hits a bridging back suplex but Thornton runs in and causes a DQ. Thornton and Tony put the boots to Fuchi. Tony picks up Fuchi and hits his Floating butterfly suplex. Thornton picks up Fuchi and holds him while Tony nails him with a European uppercut. The fans cheer as Yoshiaki Yatsu hits the ring! Yatsu puts Thornton down with a palm strike. Yatsu nails Tony with several palm strikes before Tony bails. Yatsu helps up Fuchi and escorts him out. The Rock n Roll RPMS vs. Central States 6 Man Champs The Elite (Hart and Sammartino) w/Arnold Skaaland Elite combine their scientific skills and rule breaking while the RPMS use their quickness and chemistry. Skaaland tries to interfere with a loaded towel but Davis dropkicks him and the towel falls. Lane picks it up, rewraps it and whacks Hart. Lane covers as Davis tackles Sammartino while the Ref counts 1..2..3! Carlos Colon vs. Central States 6 Man Champ Greg Gagne Skaaland must still be frazzled because he's not out here with Gagne. Pretty decent match that stays relatively clean for awhile until Gagne rakes Colon's eyes on a break. Gagne takes control and seems to be very pleased with himself every time he hits a move. Gagne swings Colon to the corner and charges in but Colon moves. As Gagne staggers back, Colon climbs to the top rope and nails Gagne with a flying clothesline for the pin! USWA Champ Jerry "The King" Lawler, Central States Champ "Unpredictable" Dick Slater and The Grapplers vs. Terry Funk, Dr. Dream Machine and USWA Tag Team Champs Karachi Vice What can you say about a main event like this? This match goes 45 minutes and everybody gets a chance to shine. Of course it ends with chaos. Lawler and Funk are involved in a furious slugfest on the outside. Slater and Dream Machine are fighting up and down the aisle. The Grapplers double clothesline Makhan over the top rope. Gama tries to take a powder but the Grapplers grab him and double slam him. Lawler hurls Funk into the crowd while Slater and Dream Machine disappear to the back. Grappler 1 hoists Gama up while Grappler 2 comes off the middle ropes with a diving clothesline 1..2..3!

You saw that no good Misty Cloud threaten my ladies. Look how frightened they are. Misty Cloud is nothing but a monster!

As for Siva Afi, well tell him Tui. Tui: Siva Afi, you uneducated banana eating monkey! It's time for the great Polynesian people to be represented by a civilized islander such as myself. You're a disgrace to the Polynesian culture and it's a good thing someone like me has the guts to finally put an end to the embarrassment of you! Kai takes them away.

Grappler 1: (grabs the mic as Brenda flinches) Let me stop you right there Brenda because we're so sick and tired of hearing that! You were going to bring up our Crockett Cup loss to the Road Warriors and we're warning the next person that says that is going to get beat down! Grappler 2: That's right! We've been challenging the Road Warriors and we haven't heard anything. It's clearly because they're afraid!

You're great when attacking from behind with a branding iron but face to face without a weapon, you're nothing! At Star Wars I'm going to expose you for the fraud that you truly are!

Waylon is devastating with that DDT. Wild 6 man tag with all sorts of chaos! Oh man if Terry Taylor has hooked up with Hart that's big trouble for Hot Stuff Inc. LOL The War of the Roses! Nice. Hayes tried hard but Steamboat gets passed him as he gets ready for Gordy. Speaking of Gordy, he uses Gilbert's move and adds in a piledriver to retain. Man, Gordy has been a dominating champ. Hart Foundation get the win but British Steel gets a lot of respect. Love the father/son team of Kabuki and Angel. They score a big win over rivals Hito and Adams. The Freebirds/Southern Boys story is really heating up. Vice Squad gets in a hard fought win over Wiskowski and the Pound. Busick is really getting over big with the fans. That Thundercats/Guerreros match stole the show. Starr really gave Red a run for his money but the TV champ prevails. I really liked this week's match ups.

Morrow: I poured the man a glass of champagne and offered a toast but what does he do? He pours it on the ground. What he did was despicable. I did what I needed to do and like I've said before I'm not going to sweat the small stuff and Mr. Cash is not worth my time. Now if you'll excuse me I have finer things to do with my time.

Now at Star Wars we already know Tui Selinga will face Siva Afi. I've been told that Ripper Morgan will clash with Hercules Ayala. A lot of bad blood there. Kai: Next week Tui Selinga will be here and you'll hear what he has to say about that monkey Afi. As for Ayala, there can only be one man at the top of the mountain and that man is Ripper Morgan. You can all watch when Ripper tosses Ayala down that mountain and into oblivion. Commercial Break Lance: Fans, we're going to take you to the King's home as the USWA champ had these words to say regarding Terry Funk. Lawler is standing in his backyard. Lawler: In the back of my head I always knew Terry Funk and I would cross paths again. Well that day has come. Terry Funk, you did your best to take me out and honestly you really didn't have all that much. Maybe you're getting a little soft Terry. A little weak. Well if it's a fight you wanted, hell all you had to do was ask. I'm challenging you to a match a Star Wars and I'll even put this title on the line. I beat you for it last year and brother I'll beat you again to retain it! Let's just see how tough you are face to face. But we both know the truth, you're nothing but a back shooting coward! On September 5th I'm going to send you running out of the USWA with your tail between your legs! Lance: Wow, the champ Jerry Lawler just challenged Terry Funk. I thi....

Does he think for one minute he intimidates me? At Star Wars I'm going to beat and stomp that egg sucking dog til he bleeds and begs for mercy. Then I'm going to do it all over again and then I'm going to take that title that rightfully belongs to me! And you better watch yourself Lance or you'll be next!

Steve if your suppose to be some kind of superhero then why did you resort to that cheap tactic to win the match? Steve: That Electrifying Man is a true villain. You saw all the cheating he was doing. He's a bad person and Super Steve O had to defeat him because in the end the hero always wins. Let that be a lesson to all of the cheaters and bad people in the world. Fear not because the USWA now has a true superhero. Lance: I don't know what's happened to that man but he clearly has some serious issues going on. And for the record, Ben Bassarab didn't cheat one time and is a very respectable man.

Lance: Les, your man Tony St. Clair and Yoshiaki Yatsu have been battling to several 10 minute draws. I've been told that at Star Wars, Tony will defend his TV title against Yatsu in a no time limit match. Les: Mr. Russell, that is right up Tony's ally. One of the many reasons he's simply the best is because he's just getting warmed up at the 10 minute mark. Mr. Yatsu is a tremendous wrestler but Tony St. Clair is in a league all by himself. At Star Wars there will be one guarantee and that is Tony St. Clair will remain TV champion. Tony: (taps on his TV title) I couldn't of said it better myself.

The Grapplers will be in the ring as well as the Central States Champ Dick Slater. Fans as I mentioned last week, the USWA's next big event will be the Labor Day Star Wars on September 5th. The first match has been signed and it will be Carlos Colon going one on one with Tiger Jeet Singh! That will be an incredible night of action. Fans. let's get to tonight's action. "Mr. Magnificent" Kevin Kelly vs. William Hillman Kelly beats his opponent down then gets a lot of boos as he spends a good amount of time flexing. Kelly clamps on the full nelson and it's all over. Kelly keeps it applied then swings his opponent around and tosses him as the fans boo. Kelly cuts a promo and says he looks forward to beating up DJ Peterson again. He ends the promo with a double bicep pose. Commercial Break Duke Myers vs. Vic Dutro The fans have taking quite a liking to Myers because he keeps on beating Timothy Flowers. Myers swings Dutro to the ropes and puts him down with a back elbow smash. Myers hops on the middle ropes and crashes down with a knee drop for the pin. Myers heads for the podium. The fans cheer as Myers is joined by The Technicians, Bob Roop and Brad Rheingans. Lance: Big news for the three of you as you get an upcoming 6 man title shot against The Elite. Duke I bet this is a nice break from one Timothy Flowers. Duke: Yes it is. I'm done with Flowers and it's time to focus on some gold. I'm looking forward to teaming with two of the best wrestlers this business has to offer. Roop: Lance, I told you Brad and I were teaming to win and now along with Duke, the three of us are going to do just that against the so called Elite. Brad: That's right. Skaaland better have his boys ready because we're coming after those titles! Commercial Break House show footage is shown as Gerry Morrow nails Porkchop Cash with a lowblow then cradles him for the win. Lance: Joining me now is Porkchop Cash. I know you're pretty upset about that cheap tactic by Morrow. Cash: (Wearing blue jeans and no shirt) Oh Lance I'm boiling up brother! I mean what kind of a man uses such a cheap and cowardly move like that? I'm here to say I want Morrow in the ring and asap! Boos as Gerry Morrow strolls out in a suit and bottle of champagne with two glasses. Morrow: Ah Mr. Cash, life is to short to be squabbling my friend. You need to relax and enjoy the finer things. What do you say we let bygones be bygones. I'll tell you what, why don't you spend an all expenses day out with me. It's very obvious you need some clothes so I will help you pick some out. I can see that you defiantly need a clean shave and haircut so why don't I take you to my stylist. Now let's have a toast. Morrow pours champagne into the glasses and hands one to Cash. Morrow: A toast to the finer things. Cash takes the glass then pours the champagne on the ground. Cash: You heard what I said brother, you and me in the ring! The fans are up and cheering. Morrow takes a step back then smashes the bottle over Cash's head!!! Cash is down. Lance: Whoa! Hold on! Morrow: Mr. Cash is a very foolish man. Massive boos as Morrow casually walks out. Commercial Break The Grapplers vs. Sam Smith and Dave Penson Pure squash ends as Grappler 1 hoists Penson up and Grappler 2 just about decapitates him with a clothesline from the middle rope! Grapplers head to the podium. Grappler 1: So Leilani Kai and the Medics want to fight dirty? Hey fine by us because we wrote the book on that! Lance: I hate to mention this but people say you guys have lost a bit of focus because you've been calling out the Road Warriors. Is there any truth to that? Grappler 2: We've proven why we're the best team in wrestling. We're the only team to hold both the USWA and Central States tag titles at the same time! Grappler 1: We are the best! The Road Warriors got a fluke win at the Crockett Cup and we want it back. That doesn't mean we've lost focus and the Medics are going to find that out real soon! Commercial Break "The Polynesian Prince" Siva Afi vs. Mark Reynolds Siva's first match since that vicious assault by Tui Selinga a few weeks back. Siva looks sharp tonight as he dropkicks Reynolds down then body slams him. The fans cheer as Siva climbs to the top rope and crashes down with a big splash 1..2..3! Cheers as Siva heads to the podium. Lance: Great to see you back Siva. I'm sure you heard all the disparaging remarks by Tui Selinga and Leilani Kai. Siva: I have and I can't tell you how angry I am. I take my heritage and culture very seriously and take pride in it. I went through a lot of sacred rituals to become a prince. Tui Selinga not only attacked me but put myself and my heritage down. I will not stand for that and I will settle this. Lance: Well you will get your chance. I've been told that the two of you will meet at the Labor Day Star Wars event on September 5th. Siva: Tui made a big mistake and on Labor day he's going to pay dearly. Commercial Break The Lone Stars vs. Gary Williams and Willie Lopez The Lone Stars head to the ring. WHAM!!! They're jumped from behind by the Sweet Ebony Express! The fans are up and cheering as the Express take it to the Lone Stars! Norvell body slams Deaton on the concrete! Sugar swings Young into the steel post! The Express pick up the bull rope. Deaton staggers up and the Express clothesline him down with the bull rope! The fans are cheering as the sweet Ebony Express stand tall holding up the bull rope! Commercial Break Lance: Oh my that was something else as the Sweet Ebony Express give the Lone Stars some sweet payback. My guest at this time is Steve Olsonoski. Steve, you left myself, Mike George and all the fans a bit puzzled last week. Would you care to elaborate? Steve: (Very calm and monotone) It's all very simple Lance. After my miraculous healing from that broken arm I realized who I am and my purpose in wrestling. The USWA needs a true and blue superhero and I'm just the right man for the job. Right now you're talking with Steve Olsonoski but in that ring I'm Super Steve O. And Super Steve O is going to rid the USWA of all the bad guys and villain's. Let me run them down for you. The Japanese Fury, Sunny War Cloud, Duke Myers. Those names are scary and they're very bad people and must be stopped. The first name on my list is the Electrifying Ben Bassarab. He's a real menace and next week on TV I will defeat him. Take care Lance and fear not because Super Steve O has arrived. Boos as Steve walks away. Lance: (pauses) I..ok, ah we'll be right back Commercial Break "The Real Thing" Ripper Morgan w/Leilani Kai vs. Todd Rooney Kai is holding Ripper back with a chain around his neck. The bell rings and Kai unhooks the chain. Ripper just destroys his opponent and finishes him off by swinging him to the ropes and putting him down with a big boot to the head! Kai shouts something at Ripper. Ripper presses Rooney up and throws him over the top rope! Kai hooks the chain back around Ripper's neck and pulls him to the podium. Lance looks a bit nervous as Ripper stomps and yells while Kai yanks on the chain. While this is going on footage is shown from a house show as Ripper storms the ring and attacks Hercules Ayala and sends him out of the ring with a big boot! Lance: (eyeing Ripper) Just why has this man targeted Hercules Ayala? Kai: Just relax Lance, (pulls on the chain) I'm the only one who can control this beast. However when I release the chain there is no controlling him. I'm here to show why Ripper Morgan is the real thing. He stands alone at the top of the mountain. Everybody told me that Hercules Ayala is the toughest man in the USWA. Not anymore! Ayala I believe you're a smart man so listen carefully to this warning. When I release the Real Thing on you there is no turning back. Ripper stomps and yells as Kai pulls him away. Lance seems relieved. Commercial Break Central States 6 Man Champs The Elite w/Arnold Skaaland are at the podium with Lance. Arnold is in a cheap suit holding his towel while the Elite are wearing matching sweat suits. Lance: Alright, just what is going on? Your men have a match scheduled. Skaaland: Not today Lance. My men are champions and they wrestle on their watch. Gagne: Arnold is correct. We have a title defense coming up with that goof Dookie Myers and that bottom of the heap tag team. What's their names again? Hart: I don't know. They claim to be real wrestlers but they're not elite. Sammartino: Not even close. These titles prove that we're the best unit in wrestling. Skaaland: You see Lance, my boys are more than ready so they deserve the night off. The Elite walk out to boos. Lance: Oh brother they're something else. I'm sure Jerry Jarrett will have something to say about this. A montage video is shown of the Carlos Colon/Tiger Jeet Singh rivalry. Those two will meet at the Labor Day Star Wars event! Commercial Break Central States Champ "The Unpredictable" Dick Slater vs. Carl Romer Slater is all over Romer and quickly finishes him off with a swinging neckbreaker! The fans cheer as Slater holds up the Central States title and heads to the podium. Lance: Dick, you heard the challenge made by Dr. Dream Machine. Dick: Oh yea I heard it alright and I have no problem beating him from one side of the ring to the other! (holds up his fist) I'm going to inflict some serious pain on him! It's a damn good thing he's a Doctor because when I get through with him he's going to need a lot of medical attention! Commercial Break The camera zooms in on the pink "Beauty Shop" sign then pans down to Brenda Britton. Brenda: Hi everybody and welcome once again to the highest rated segment on TV, the Beauty Shop. This week's guest is a far cry from the classy guests I had on last week. I mean Les Thornton and the TV champ Tony St. Clair are just so classy. Well anyways my guest this week is the Crippler Rip Oliver. Cheers as Oliver comes out. Oliver smirks at Brenda. Brenda: Ah ok, so why do they call you the Crippler? Oliver: I've been in a lot of fights and I've hurt a lot of people. That's why! Brenda: Whoa take it easy. It seems you've gotten on the wrong side of Wildfire Tommy Rich and his bodyguard, the Memphis Mafia Man Johnny Rich. I don't think you can hurt them. Oliver: Oh right, Tommy is so tough he needs a bodyguard. That don't matter because if his goon wants to get involved I'll put him down along with his yellow cousin! Tommy Rich I'm going to put out your fire brother and all that will remain is the wildfire's ashes! Brenda: Well I hope I have a more civilized guest next week. Until then tooooodles. Commercial Break American Made vs. Trent Watkins and Royce Jones Kirchner hits the Fallaway Slam on Watkins then tags in Kernodle. Kernodle finishes the match with a fireman's carry slam! Cheers as American Made heads to the podium. Lance: You guys have really been giving the champs Karachi Vice some tough matches and there's yet to be a decisive winner. Boos as Karachi Vice head out. Gama: Just one second! We are the champs and this should be our time! Makhan: We've destroyed these patriotic flag waving morons and there's no reason why we should have to do it again! Kirchner: It sounds to me like you boys are a bit scared. Gama: We are scared of nothing! Kernodle: Ok, then how about we settle this once and for all, next week here on TV! Gama: You want another severe beating! Is that what you want? Consider it done! Lance: Ok, looks like we have a big USWA tag team title match for next week's show. Should be a great one. Fans our big USWA title match is next! Commercial Break Lance is suddenly joined by Vinnie Valentino and his entourage of beautiful ladies. Lance: Come on shouldn't you be focused on Lawler and the USWA title? Vinnie: The Vin Man is always ready Lancey! I just wanted to invite you to my victory celebration tonight. Just look at these ladies. Oh Leaping Lancey it's going to be a lot of fun. I'll see you there. USWA Title Bout Jerry "The King" Lawler (C) vs. "The Vin Man" Vinnie Valentino Mega pop as Lawler enters the ring. Vinnie waves Lawler back then gives each of the woman a peck on the cheek. They applaud him then step out to the outside. The bell rings but Vinnie is showboating in front of his ladies. Vinnie smiles then turns around. Lawler clotheslines him over the top rope!! The woman all run to Vinnie and try to help him up. The fans are cheering as Lawler smiles and blows kisses to all the woman. WHAM!!!!!!

Lance: I can't believe this... Funk: (snatches the mic) You better believe it! Did you miss me Lance? I sure as hell didn't miss you. I sure as hell didn't miss that jackass Lawler! Hey Lawler! You jackass! Did you think I would forget about you? You have something that belongs to me. That USWA title! And I'm here to take it back! Boos as Funk throws the mic at Lance then yells at the booing fans. Lance: I can't believe my eyes. Terry Funk is back and Jerry Lawler is laid out in the ring. Fans, I'll see you next week. Labor Day Star Wars 9-5-85 Matches already signed Carlos Colon vs. Tiger Jeet Singh "The Polynesian Prince" Siva Afi vs. "The Tidal Wave" Tui Selinga w/Leilani Kai The Sweet Ebony Express vs. The Lone Stars

I'm sorry, totally missed that.

USWA releases Dick the Bruiser and picks up Bob Brown. USWA picks up Billy Two Eagles.

The fans defiantly got their money's worth in LA! Waylon and Jake with a double DDT! That's a devastating finisher. Brutus continues to rise. The Guerreros win round one over the Thundercats. Huge twist as Kabuki sprays Hart and reunites with his son. The fans must have been going nuts when Kabuki was cleaning house. New feud on the way! WOW! Nord gets crazy and sends Barry O out on a stretcher. A wild Nord is bad news for the Pacific roster. Yamada goes out in style as him and Smothers tear the house down. Classy way to go. Gordy retains over Steamboat on a DQ. Chaos ensues. This is one of the most interesting storylines in the game and I think it's only just begun. On to Santa Barbara, Hart Foundation rack up a win over Badd Co. Armstrong gets a big upset over Buddy Jack! I know Taylor and Gilbert put on a great match. These guys are workers. Texas Red and Busick is a hard hitting powerhouse duo. Busick impresses with that slam on Grizzly. Say what you want about them but the Playboy Club always finds a way to win. I'm sure the Vice Squad will be coming back for more. All of Perez's hard work pays off as he gets a shot at Orton. Great match as Orton barley pulls out the win. Exciting loop.

LOL! Dutch Mantel arrives and should of been happy with that win over Mr. X. Brisco comes out and defeats him. Mantel's excuses were hilarious! I'm sure things got a little wild in that Bota/Gypsy match. The real Violent Gentleman get a nice win over the Invaders. Violent Gentlemen aren't done yet as they interfere and start a massive brawl with Fuller, Golden and Valiant! Ron finally gets the pin on LeDuc thanks to Carson. LOL! LeDuc slams Carson and nobody comes out to help him. I wouldn't want to get in LeDuc's way either. Johnny Mantell arrives and gets a nice opening win. Even though they came up short, I like that Dirty Rhodes/Duncum pairing. The Assassins were just to much to handle tonight. Cooley gets a huge win over AOD! A third Nightmare!?!? Now it's really going to be hard to take the straps off them. Somebody is going to have to get that chisel from Wright. I can't wait until Bullet Bob is cleared for action.

Could we be seeing the birth of the Southern Boys? I hope so. OK, it looks like the Hart Foundation are involved in their first program. Badd Co. and the Hart Foundation are going to give the fans a lot of action packed matches. Along with Hart and Hyatt on the outside, this should be a lot of fun. I'm liking the heel Guerreros. They want the belts and the Thundercats better be ready. Tatum arrives and just like that we now have the Hollywood Vice Squad. I really like this trio. Money! The biggest temptation in wrestling. Hart offers it and Adams accepts. No doubt this will lead to a wild Adams/Angel feud. After an outstanding build, Waylon Mercy has arrived! As if this wasn't scary enough, Jake the Snake offers Waylon his help. This means trouble in Pacific. Know what I mean. Del Ray gets some sweet revenge as he sends Gaylord packing and sends the Playboy Club a message. Great show with a lot of new and exciting developments.

Alright! Here we go. I love masked men tag teams so kicking off the show with an Invaders/Assassins match gets me hooked immediately. Bota retains the Jr. title in a rematch with Welch. Man, I hope Bota has a long reign. Brisco rebounds from that shocking LeDuc defeat with a nice win over Duk. Well, my guys Crews and Timbs had a fun run but Dundee and Barnes prove why they should be called the Violent Gentlemen. As soon as he heard this result, Jerry Jarrett was on the phone LOL. Golden helps cousin Rob get his revenge. Wild 8 man tag as the faces get the big win over those evil heels. Wright sure can't do much with Bullet Bob watching. The show can't end without a wild melee. LeDuc isn't pleased with Carson and it's a good thing his men provided a distraction. On to the big tag team tournament! Fuller and Golden get the fans going as they open things up with a big win over the Assassins. Violent Gentlemen advance over the popular Batten Twins. Another fun battle of masked teams as the Nightmares use the classic foreign object in the mask to advance. Armstrong and Hamilton are in synch now. Another successful title defense for Bota. I've got a couple Jr. Heavyweights on my roster if you ever want some challengers for a loop. Violent Gentlemen/Fuller and Golden are eliminated. I knew this would be a brawl. Hopefully these guys go at it again. LOL, Bullet Bob is making life hard for Wright and his men. Nice Twin States title bout thrown in as Fuller retains against Pogo. We're now at the finals! Wright's chisel gets the Nightmares the win and the titles! With their recent frustrations I didn't think the Nightmares would win it. Nice surprise! Love the celebration at the end. Nightmares are a great choice. You have such a variety of tag teams that this tournament provided a solid night of action. Things just keep getting better!

Great show Gene! So much happening! Barnes and Dundee, together again! This is priceless. Right off the bat they get into the thick of things. What a stipulation, the name, the manager and a spot in the tournament! This was great TV. I really like the Crews/Timbs pairing but Dundee and Barnes are going to be hard to beat. If Crews and Timbs ever need a place to go, call me LOL. The Wildcat is back home! He's immediately thrusted into the main event mix as he does Bullet Bob a solid. The Assassins will fit right in this stacked tag division. Another big return as Jimmy Golden rejoins his Fuller cousins! All is right in Twin States. Bota is going to bring a lot of attention to the Jr. Title. No matter what, Jimmy Valiant knows how to stay popular. WOW!!!! LeDuc destroys Brisco! This is pretty big and sets LeDuc up as a very serious threat to Fuller's title. So much great stuff is going on here. Man I cant wait for the Farm Center card!

I can't imagine what's next for Dr. Dream Machine. Let's go back to the ring. Sunny War Cloud vs. Vic Dutro Sunny comes out in a headdress and war paint on his face.

Speaking of the Lone Stars, last week they broke Steve O's arm after assaulting the Club. Joining me now is the Club, Mike George and Steve O. Mike: Steve, I can't tell you how sorry I am. Steve: Save it Mike, I don't need your apology or anybody's sympathy. Lance, as you and everybody out there can see, I don't have a cast on my arm. The Doctors said my arm was broke but when I went in a couple days later they took more x rays and told me the arm was fully healed. They said it was a miracle. I thought long and hard about that. I think I'm some kind of super hero. I know now what my purpose in wrestling is and Mike it doesn't include you. Lance, you and all the people stay tuned. See you around Mike. Steve walks out as a puzzled Lance and Mike look on. Mike: Lance, I'm speechless, I..I don't know where to go from here. I think it's time for me to take some time off. Mike walks out.

Siva Afi, you banana eating jungle boy, you're a disgrace to our culture and for that I must send you back to wherever it is you came from! Kai: Lance, I told you and all these people we mean business and speaking of business I have made a deal with this man right here. Boos as Dr. Dream Machine comes out with the Medics. Dream: Listen up babay! As everyone knows I'm a very smart man. I'm a main event wrestler, I'm a certified Doctor and I'm a very shrewd business man. (Holds up the Nightmare's mask) After sending that loser the Nightmare packing I'm hungry for a title. That means beware Dicky Boy Slater because your number one on the Dream's hit list! In order to focus on my career I had to know my Medics would be taken care of. So I made the deal of a lifetime and sold their contracts to the lovely, talented and tough Leilani Kai! Dream shakes the Medics hands and thanks them then shakes Kai's and Tui's hands and exits. Tui smiles and welcomes the Medics as does Kai. Kai: I told you we were just getting started. Medics, it's an honor to have you with us. I wanted the best tag team and I acquired them. As for you Grapplers, my Medics have unfinished business and you can bet we're going to finish it!

DJ: (smiling) Lance I've been wrestling all over the country and my power has really been working for me so I decided to go all out with it. I'm back in .... A big muscular blonde man appears with his back facing the camera. He flexes his biceps and turns around. Lance: Kevin Kelly, I heard you were coming in but not for a few weeks. Kevin: First off, you and all these peons will refer to me as Mr. Magnificent. Now (smiles and stares at DJ) as for you. Did you really think you could leave New York and escape my wrath? We started something that you didn't want to finish. Doesn't surprise me being the weak gutless coward that you are! Wrecking Machine? Yea right. Try taking me down punk! DJ: You're a very delusional man Kevin and don't think for one minute you or your muscles intimidate me! You want to pick up where we left off? There's a ring right there! DJ runs in the ring, pumps his fists and tells Kevin to get in here! Kevin just smiles and flexes then strolls away as the fans boo. Lance: Ok, obviously still a lot of bad feelings between those two powerhouses. We'll be back Commercial Break The camera zooms in on the pink 'Beauty Shop' sign then pans down to Brenda Britton. Brenda: Hi again and welcome to the highest rated segment in wrestling today, the Beauty Shop. Tonight I have two men who are true gentlemen. Please welcome Les Thornton and the Television Champion Tony St. Clair, who I believe is simply the best. Les and Tony come out and each of them kisses Brenda's hand. Brenda lifts her leg and smiles. Brenda: My oh my, such gentlemen. Mr. Thornton, you are an extraordinary manager. It's amazing what you and Mr. St. Clair have accomplished here in the USWA. Mr. St. Clair has held the TV title for over 2 months now and has defeated all comers. Les: Brenda, being the class act that you are, you may refer to myself as Les and the TV champ as Tony. Tony St. Clair is a wrestling legend in the UK and I knew I had to bring him here to prove he's the best in the world. And what does he do? He soundly defeats the great Rick Martel for the TV title and has successfully defended the title night after night. The man truly lives up to his name Simply the Best! Brenda: So well put Les. Tony, I understand some guy name Yos..Yosos.. wait Yoshiaki Yatsu is next up for a title shot. Tony: (laughs) Yes you're correct, Yoshiaki Yatsu is next! He's an accomplished wrestler but nowhere near my league. He's going to find that out real quick when I educate him in my ring. Brenda: So nice to have such classy gentlemen like you on my show. You two are invited back anytime. Until next week toooooodles.

Twin States running 2 loops shows how stacked the roster is. Like the Alaskan Hunters. Solid powerhouse team. Invaders take down the Russians. Oh man I wonder who Rob Fuller is going to call??? Ron Fuller defeats Brooks in a tournament final rematch. LeDuc gets in a post match beating and it looks like he's next up for Fuller. Battens are on a roll. They get the win over my guys the Violent Gentlemen. Big news as Bota defeats Welch for the Jr. Title! This is great because we'll be getting a lot more of Bota and Barnes. Looks like Scott and Hamilton are in synch and will team together in the upcoming tournament. LOL, loving the tantrums the Nightmares are throwing. Spitting in Rainey's drink was hilarious. I know the fans went nuts when Bullet Bob came out. Things get crazy as Bob takes another bad beating. I wouldn't want to be AOD when he finally has to face Bob in the ring. Also still unfinished business between Brad and Sawyer.
