** Scott Hudson welcomes all to the televised USA Pro Wrestling show. With him is the infamous Honky Tonk Man who tells Hudson it is all Hudson’s pleasure to have HTM there. Hudson tells the fans that there is a new USAPW Heavyweight champion in “Nature Boy” Buddy Landel. HTM tells Hudson that Landel made the biggest mistake of his career when he pushed away the Andersons because what Nature Boy has kept his title without having an Anderson around? Hudson tells the fans we will see what will happen because the Andersons are here this week. The team of Joey Munoz & Chris Harris are here as well as Ludvig Borga in a handicap match and in the main event, the USAPW tag team champions, High Voltage, will be defending their titles against State Patrol. HTM says he cannot figure out how they kept their titles this long as we are sent to the ring for our first match. **

Joey Munoz & Chris Harris defeat the team of Prince Iaukea & Shiryu after Harris hits the superkick on Shiryu. During the match, Munoz wrestles a rougher style than he normally does, including a particularly stiff toss to the outside of the ring. After the match, when Harris tries to talk to him about it, Munoz walks off instead.

Munoz is at ringside with Mauro Ranallo. Chris Harris comes and asks him what the hell is going on. Munoz asks him what he means? They are winning now and that is what counts. Harris tells him that they are winning but the tactics being used are not the ones that he likes. Munoz tells him to suck it up because they are winning. Munoz turns to Ranallo and tells him that there will be more of a difference coming because the cream will rise to the top and that is what Munoz will do. He leaves as Harris tells Ranallo that he is not happy as we go to commercial.

**Commercial ends and Scott Hudson tells the fans that it is time for the Andersons to come out. He tells the fans who missed the huge house show last weekend, here is the footage.

~~VTR is played~~
WINNER AND NEW USAPW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION: “NATURE BOY” BUDDY LANDEL

The Andersons climb in and try to celebrate with Landel, however Landel pushes them away and leaves on his own, refusing to celebrate with them.

~~The VTR ends~~

HTM tells Hudson that as he said earlier, Landel is an idiot because he could have had back up, and no....he would rather cause himself damage. The Andersons are not a family to mess with but Landel will learn that in his own time. **
.
.
.
The Andersons (Brad & CW w/Bryant) defeat Julio Dinero & EZ Money after CW catches Dinero in a spinning spinebuster that just finishes Dinero.

The Andersons are at ringside. Bryant grabs the mic from Mauro Ranallo and begins talking. He tells the fans at home that Buddy Landel made the –biggest- mistake of his entire life when he denied the celebration that the Anderson family were trying to give him. What had happened was The Andersons WON the title for Buddy Landel and he turns around and does that? He turns around and denies them? That will cost him and it could cost him his career when it is all said and done. Now...He understands that Landel is not here this weekend and that is ok. He and his cousins will wait until Landel is. Then explanations will be expected and repercussions will be handed out.

**Last week Ludvig Borga defeated two people and this week will do the same. Hudson tells HTM that Borga is a dangerous man in the ring and soon enough someone should stand up to him. HTM tells Hudson to go do it then. Hudson tells HTM hat he is not a wrestler before sending us to the ring for the action.**
.
.
.
Ludvig Borga destroys both Scoot Andrews & Mike Quackenbush with serious power moves. A very stiff clothesline takes down Andrews. Picking up Quackenbush, Borga slams him down hard on top of Andrews. Putting his foot on the back of Quackenbush, Borga pins them both.



Borga is with Mauro Ranallo. He tells Ranallo that three weeks ago he told the world that he would demolish all those in the ring until he has hands on gold. That has not happened yet and now 4 wrestlers have been destroyed. He says next week if there is not an appropriate competitor in the ring for him, he will end the career of whoever is across from him. There is no compromise in this.

**It is main event time and it will be a USAPW tag team title match. After the brawl to end last week’s show between the champions, High Voltage, and the Japanese team of Hashimoto & Kojima. HTM tells the fans he hopes the Japanese team delivers the beatings that High Voltage needs. Hudson tells him that is what will happen if High Voltage does not concentrate. The titles can be lost quickly. HTM responds that not when it comes to the greatest Intercontinental champion of all time. **
.
.
.
USAPW Tag Team Championship: High Voltage (c) defeat State Patrol after Hashimoto & Kojima rush the ring and attack the champions. When State Patrol try to get involved, Kojima and Hashimoto turn their attention on them, throwing them out of the ring as well. The locker room cleans out in order to break the brawl up.

The New York State champion Sgt. Slaughter comes to ringside. He tells Mauro Ranallo that there are too many of these foreigners coming to his state and trying to cause havoc. Between these Japanese wrestlers trying to dominate the tag team division and this Finnish wrestler Ludwig Boogy or whatever the puke’s name is....has been coming here and trying to injure some wrestlers. Now... Slaughter could not care less about the spineless maggots that are at home and in the arena, but the one thing he will not stand for is someone tearing or trying to tear down the country he has served and fought for. If this Finnish loser does not like it here in America, he can leave and if it is a good old American fight he is looking for, then Sgt. Slaughter will answer him next weekend. DISMISSED!!!!



The show ends with Scott Hudson recapping the action before saying goodnight to everyone.

This time, there will be no controversy, no issues, just one man leaving with that belt.

~ A recap from last week shows the USAPW Heavyweight Champion, “Nature Boy” Buddy Landel, getting the pin in a triple threat match with the Andersons. This brings out Landel, and “Dirty White Boy” Tony Anthony. Landel says that he knew he would be outnumbered so last week he got one of the dirtiest people in the ring, ever, to watch his back. That man was the Dirty White Boy and there is no turning back. The video screen interrupts the two southerners. The Andersons cousins, Bryant, CW, and Brad are there, ready. Bryant tells Landel & Anthony that last week they got lucky. This week, another 3 on 3 match is demanded. Anthony tells them to stop hiding and get their asses to the ring.
