AWA All-Star Wrestling
The camera pans onto the arena as the crowd is cheering loudly. We then see the camera transition to our play by play commentator.
EB: Hello everyone, my name is Eric Bischoff and welcome to AWA All-Star Wrestling. We are excited to be coming to you from Sydney Australia for the return of professional wrestling to Australia. Firstly we are going to cross to the ring to hear from our president, a legend of Australian Wrestling: Mario Milano
Mario Milano is in the ring.
MM: Ladies and Gentlemen, after 10 long years Professional Wrestling is back in Australia is where it belongs. We are excited to be bringing you the biggest stars in the Wrestling World. Every week All-Star Wrestling will be beamed around the world, and every month we promise to bring you a big event from each capital city in this great country of ours, the Land Down Under, Australia.

On that night the AWA will be crowning our World Champion and our World Tag Team Champions, so make sure that get your tickets to be with us live, or check your local listings for television coverage. And now ladies and gentlemen I would like to introduce our Colour Commentator. He is one of the greatest wrestlers to ever hold the World Championship. He is the Emperor of the ring. He is Handsome Harley Race.
Harley Race comes to ringside and joins Eric Bischoff.
HR: Hello everyone both here in Australia and around the world.

And Eric Bischoff, you had better be c business, where I am a true legend.
EB: That you are Harley, and I am one of your biggest admirers. We have a huge night ahead as we meet some of the stars of AWA.
Rick Martel beat Steve Lombardi with the Boston Crab.
We cross to the back where interviewer Craig DeGeorge is with Paul E. Dangerously. Paul E says that he has come to Australia with some of the most awesome wrestlers the world has ever seen. He says that he intends for his wrestlers to dominate the sport in the country. He says that he has some of the biggest and baddest wrestlers Australia has ever seen. He brings into the area Bam Bam Bigelow, Kokina, Fatu and Samu. Paul E says that Samoan stars have a reputation in Australia that is well-earned, and that the Soamoan SWAT Team and Kokina will live up to that reputation. HE thenpoints to Bam Bam Bigelow and says that there is no one else in the world man enough to tattoo their head, but that is just how tough Bam Bam Bigelow is. Paul E promises that one of his men will be crowned the first AWA World Champion, and that the SWAT Tam will be the teag tema champions.
Cowboy Bob Orton beat SD Jones with a superplex. After the match Orton beat on Jones a bit more before leaving the ring. Race notes that Orton is possibly the most technically sound wrestler in the company, but he is also a very tough man. Bischoff says that he remembers Race’s association with Orton years ago, and that Orton is a man who often allies with other stars, so the AWA had better keep their eye on him.
Craig De George is in the ring, and welcomes his guest, Nikita Koloff. Koloff says that he left Russia many years ago to battle what he thought was the terror of the West. But then, after spending time in America, he learned that everything he had been brought up to believe was a lie, and he embraced the freedom of the West. He said that the world is changing now, and Communism appears to be falling, but he has come to Australia to continue his pursuit to be the best. He says that Australia is more beautiful that America, and the fans here are the friendliest he has ever met, and he looks forward to representing them in the ring.
The British Bulldogs beat Barry Horowitz and Tiger Chung Lee when Dynamite Kid pinned Horowitz after hitting a flying headbutt. The Bulldogs received a massive reception, and Bischoff noted the close links between Australia and England. Race said that the Bulldogs should forget about the fans and focus on dominating teams in the ring, no matter how it is done.
Craig De George is with Paul Ellering. Ellering says he was recently double-crossed. He said that in America he had brought a team into the business and taken them to the top, and they repaid him by deserting him and leaving him with nothing. He said he intends to prove that their success was only because of him by replicating it with a new team. Ellering says he has a new team that is bigger, badder and better than his last team. They are The Powers of Pain- the Warlord and The Barbarian, and they will be totally unstoppable.
The Great Muta beat Steve Blackman after a Moonsault. During the match Sensational Sherri was seen to come to ringside and observe the action for several minutes, before returning to the back. Bischoff noted that Muta was one of the most exciting up and coming wrestlers in the world, while Race said that Muta has all the tools to become a world Champion at some point…. And he should know, he did it 8 times.
Craig De George is in the ring and welcomes “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase. DiBiase says that he has more money than this entire arena combined, He said that he has come to Australia to buy up real estate and win the World Title. DiBiase says that he is concerned being in Australia as everyone in this country is a criminal. He said he needs to protect himself and his investments, and so he has invested in an insurance policy, a bodyguard. He brings out Cowboy Bob Orton, saying that Bob will ensure that the people, and the lowly wrestlers he faces, do not get out of line. Race says that he just knew Orton was here to help someone, and that DiBiase could not choose better support. Bischoff asks why DiBiase needs a bodyguard, and Race says “Didn’t you hear what he said, this country is filled with criminals”.
Jake “The Snake” Roberts beat Jose Estrade with the DDT. After the match Jake placed his snake Damian on top of Estrada. Race said that this is not part of wrestling. Bischoff said it is part of it tonight, and it is now part of the AWA. Bischoff says that Roberts will be one man who may have his eye on beating Ted DiBiase, and that Damian may be a better bodyguard than Bob Orton.
Bischoff then thanks everyone for joining us tonight. He says that next week we will see The Killer Bees, Kerry Von Erich, The Powers of Pain and Bam Bam Bigelow in the ring. Race says more importantly the world will get to hear his colour commentary again.
