- JOEY STYLES is standing at ringside.
JOEY thanks us for tuning into the to the wildest hour of wrestling on TV. He hypes tonight’s show, which will feature three more matches from the round-robin tournament for the International Jr. Heavyweight Title, as tag team partners Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko square off, Sabu takes on Pierroth Jr and Tiger Mask IV faces Dragon Kid . . . The Headhunters defend the Brass Knuckles Tag Team Titles against Kintaro Kanemura and Puerto Rican star Miguel Perez Jr . . . Chapparita Asari teams up with Women’s Champ Megumi Kudo to face Manami Toyota and Shark Tsuchiya . . . “Mr. Danger” Mitsuhiro Matsunaga will live up to his name when he takes on one of the most sadistic men in this sport, Leatherface . . . and in the main event, Cactus Jack and Terry Funk square off with the Sinister Minister’s duo of Mr. Pogo and the new W*ING International Champ Mike Awesome!
JOEY says that W*ING USA will make their Pay-Per-View debut in about three weeks, on Saturday night, October 27 with FRIGHT NIGHT ’95. The event will be an outdoor show, taking place at the Maryvale Baseball Park in Phoenix, Arizona. Matches will be announced in the coming weeks.
JOEY then talks about the ongoing round-robin tournament for the vacant W*ING International Jr. Heavyweight Title. He then brings out CHRIS BENOIT.
BENOIT talks about the tournament. Joey mentions that his opponent today will be his friend and tag team partner, Dean Malenko. Benoit says that, in this tournament, there are no friends, there are only people standing between him and the Jr. Heavyweight Title. He says that he’ll treat Malenko just as he would any other opponent, and he knows Malenko will do the same.
- ROUND-ROBIN TOURNAMENT MATCH:
CHRIS BENOIT fought DEAN MALENKO to an exciting, fast-paced 10-minute DRAW. Both men earn 1 point. The match is edited for TV, down to about 5 minutes of highlights.
- JOEY interviews GARY HART and W*ING Brass Knuckles Tag Team Champions THE HEADHUNTERS at ringside. Hart says that he has managed some great tag teams in the past, but none of them measure up to these men. They have the power, the agility, and the killer instinct to be an unstoppable team.
JOEY says that they’ll have their first big test since coming to W*ING USA later on tonight when they square off with Kintaro Kanemura and Miguel Perez Jr, with Joey noting that Perez is no stranger to the Headhunters, he’s wrestled them many times before in Puerto Rico, Japan, and right here in the States when he teamed up with Crash the Terminator to face the Headhunters at an event in Philadelphia a few years ago.
- JOEY talks about W*ING Take Off ’95, which took place last Saturday night in Pittsburgh.
FOOTAGE is shown from Take Off ’95, short clips of each match are shown, with longer clips of the 20 man Battle Royal, and the main event between Terry Funk and Mike Awesome. We see Mr. Pogo get involved, setting a chair on fire, with Awesome then Powerbombing Funk onto the chair!
- MEGUMI KUDO & CHAPPARITA ASARI defeat MANAMI TOYOTA & SHARK TSUCHIYA when Asari pinned Tsuchiya with the Skytwister Press at 8:33, edited down to about 4 minutes of highlights for TV.
During the match, Madusa comes out and taunts Kudo, before picking up Kudo’s Women’s Title belt and admiring it. Kudo turns her attention to Madusa and almost loses the match when Toyota rolls her up, which seems to please Madusa.
- ROUND-ROBIN TOURNAMENT MATCH:
DRAGON KID beats TIGER MASK IV by pinfall with an Asai Moonsault. Dragon Kid walks away with 2 more points. Edited down to about 4 minutes of highlights for TV.
- PROMO: Grainy footage is shown of the camera entering a creepy looking house. We can hear something that sounds like a motor running in the distance. The camera explores the house a little bit . . . until it turns and we see a large man swinging a chainsaw rushing towards the camera! The picture goes to static.
- JOEY talks about the video we just saw, saying that Leatherface gives him the creeps, he doesn’t envy Mitsuhiro Matsunaga, having to wrestle Leatherface here tonight.
- JOEY then talks about the round-robin tournament to crown the first International Jr. Heavyweight Champion.
FOOTAGE is shown of a couple of tournament matches that took place recently on house shows. We see short clips of Tiger Mask IV defeating Dean Malenko, Sabu pinning Pierroth Jr, and Pierroth finally gaining some points by pinning Tiger Mask IV.
A graphic comes up on the screen, showing the standings so far for the tournament:
Dragon Kid 6 points
Tiger Mask IV 6 points
Chris Benoit 5 points
Sabu 4 points
Dean Malenko 3 points
Pierroth Jr 2 points
- ROUND-ROBIN TOURNAMENT MATCH:
SABU (w/ Paul E. Dangerously) beats PIERROTH JR by pinfall following the Arabian Facebuster. Sabu picks up 2 more points, while Pierroth is still without a point.
- W*ING BRASS KNUCKLES TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH:
THE HEADHUNTERS (w/ Gary Hart) beat KINTARO KANEMURA & MIGUEL PEREZ JR when Headhunter A pinned Perez after delivering a Moonsault. Edited down to about 5 minutes of highlights for TV.
- JOEY talks about Mr. Pogo, and introduces a video of Pogo, featuring footage of his matches in Japan.
Mr Pogo DVD PReview two! Shoot Master - Pretty Violence
JOEY is then joined at ringside by THE SINISTER MINISTER, MR. POGO and the new W*ING International Heavyweight Champion MIKE AWESOME.
AWESOME gloats about his win at Take Off ’95, beating Terry Funk in the match for the vacant belt. He says that he was right last week when he said that Funk is just a washed up old has-been, because Awesome said he barely broke a sweat.
When Joey asks about granting Funk a rematch, Awesome says that he would love nothing more than to kick Funk around some more, but Terry already had his shot, and there are other competitors lining up that are more deserving.
After they leave, Joey notes that Awesome didn’t seem quite as confident when Joey mentioned giving Funk a rematch for the belt.
JOEY then talks about the match that will take place later tonight in the main event, as Awesome and Pogo take on Funk and his friend Cactus Jack.
- LEATHERFACE beats “MR. DANGER” MITSUHIRO MATSUNAGA by pinfall following a top-rope Superplex. The match is edited down to about 4 minutes of highlights for TV.
- PROMO for FRIGHT NIGHT 95, live on Pay-Per-View on Saturday night, October 27. The only match that has been announced so far is that Megumi Kudo will defend the World Women’s Title against Madusa.
- CACTUS JACK & TERRY FUNK defeat MIKE AWESOME & MR. POGO (w/ The Sinister Minister). The match is a real slobberknocker from bell to bell. They battle in the ring, around the ring, out into the crowd, and at one point, Funk and Pogo make their way backstage. A camera follows them, and we see them take turns hitting each other with whatever they can get their hands on.
Late in the match, with all four men in the ring, Cactus knocks Awesome out of the ring, then assists Funk with a Spike Piledriver on Pogo. Funk covers Pogo for the 1, 2, 3!
- JOEY wraps things up, and hypes next week’s show, which will see Cactus Jack team up with Mitsuhiro Matsunaga to take on Sabu and Leatherface, Madusa faces Megumi Kudo in a non-title match, and the International Jr. Heavyweight Title tournament continues, as Chris Benoit meets Pierroth Jr.
