Commercial

Global Television Champion Moadib vs. Kevin Von Erich

Hudson mentions that the title Moadib carries was once known as the American Title, but GWF officials decided to retire that title and gave Moadib the newly minted Television belt in it’s place. Just like Bam Bam Bigelow was alone last week, Moadib is with out Skandar Akbar this week. Kevin Von Erich gives it everything he has and he withstands a helluva a lot of punishment from the monstrous Moadib, but he can’t get the belt back and falls to Moadib after a plunge.

Winner: Moadib via pin @8:33

Moadib leaves the ring and starts to head to the back when Kevin Von Erich gets a microphone and calls Moadib back, after some hesitation, Moadib climbs back into the ring.

Kevin Von Erich: Hey big man, don’t worry, you won’t get any trouble from me! You know there comes a time when you realize that perhaps the world has passed you by, perhaps you just aren’t as young as you used to be, and I have realized that about myself. So it’s with a heavy heart that I announce my retirement from the sport of professional wrestling, and I just want to tell you, I have fought the biggest and the baddest, from Abdullah the Butcher to Bruiser Brody some of the wildest and meanest men in this sport, I have been in with the best wrestlers as well and Moadib, you have what it takes to be one of the best this sport has ever seen.

Kevin puts his hand out to shake Moadib’s hand. Moadib looks very confused, but finally gives Kevin a quick handshake and leaves the ring, dumbfounded. Kevin waves goodbye to the fans as we go to break.

Referee Scott Dickerson runs down and Dick Slater submits!!!!!

Scott Hudson: Last week after a loss to Moadib, legendary wrestler Kevin Von Erich announced his retirement from the sport of professional wrestling. Our own Lee Marshall went out to Denton, Texas to talk with Kevin and see what the future holds for him.

Lee Marshall and Kevin Von Erich are seated in a large oak room, surrounded by pictures, trophies and memories.

Lee Marshall: Kevin, first let me thank you for allowing us into your home.

Kevin Von Erich: You are welcome anytime Lee.

Lee Marshall: Last week, after a loss to Moadib you shocked the world when you announced that you would be retiring from the sport of professional wrestling. This left allot of us wondering if that was a true retirement announcement or if it was a gut reaction after losing a hard fought battle.

Kevin Von Erich: Lee, before the show started last week Dutch Mantel came up to me and presented me with the American Title Belt. As you know they retired the title to go with the TV Title. As I sat there and held the belt I had fought for, that my brothers had fought for, that my father fought for I realized that maybe the time had come for me to be retired too. When I was walking down the aisle to face Moadib I didn’t feel the same fire in my belly, I didn’t feel the same drive. I think it was because I was no longer fighting for something that represented my family, the TV Title was no longer the American Title, it was no longer a link to my brothers. When the match was over, it felt like it was time to hang up the boots and let the young guys take the torch and run with it.

Lee Marshall: Well if this is indeed the end, let me be the first to congratulate you on one heck of a career and thank you for all you have done for us fans.

Kevin Von Erich: Thank you Lee, and let me say thank you to all the fans watching for supporting me and my family for all these decades. It has meant the world to us. But don’t think this is the last time you will see me, I’m going to take a break for a while, I am going to rest but I will show up when you least expect it!!!

Lee Marshall: There you have it, Kevin Von Erich has retired.

Scott Hudson and Honky Tonk Man are seated at ringside.

Scott Hudson: Kevin Von Erich was one of the best to ever lace up a pair of wrestling boots and he will be missed here in Global.

HTM: Bah, he’s a quitter, you don’t see ol’ Honky Tonk Man retiring do you??

Scott Hudson: I also don’t see you in that ring either. Fans when we return, Savio Vega will be in action!!!

Lee Marshall: Thank you Scott, gentlemen, last week you got a victory, but you didn’t get your revenge.

Pitt Bull II: But they can’t hide forever!!! SPICOLLI!!! TERRI!!!!! RUN ALL YOU WANT, BUT SOON YOU ARE GOING TO FEEL THE SUPERBOMB!!!!!

Konnan: “You know Scott Hudson, I never back down from a challenge and I am always ready to go when I am called. As Global Champion I promise never to punk out and not show up, I’m not a coward. I won’t back down and I’ll fight anyone that wants a shot at the belt!!! Dick Slater, esse, you want another go at the Gold? Anytime, anyplace and you got it.

YOU GOT PINNED BY THE LOVERBOY LOUIE SPICOLLI!!!!!”


Scott Hudson: “She has a point Konnan, Louie Spicolli did pin you to advance in the Global Tag Team Tournament. Though there is some interest as to what was in that purse he hit you with before he pinned you.”

Terri: “That doesn’t matter, all that matters is The Loverboy had Konnan’s shoulders pinned to the mat. 1……………..(puffs on the cigar)……………………….2……………………….(takes a very long drag off the cigar and blows the smoke in Konnan’s face very slowly……….3. So I think that means he should get a shot at the title, wouldn’t you agree?”

Konnan: “You want a shot at this belt? Spicolli I saw what you did to Tori Powers after the Pitt Bulls beat your ass and won the tag titles, then I saw you run like a punk bitch last week and I think someone needs to pay you back for it. You want a shot at this belt holmes? YOU GOT IT, RIGHT HERE NEXT WEEK!!!!!! VIVA LA RAZZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Spicolli start to make a move, but Terri pulls him back.

Scott Hudson: “DON’T MISS IT FANS, NEXT WEEK, THE GLOBAL TITLE WILL BE ON THE LINE, KONNAN VS. SPICOLLI!!!! FANS DON’T TOUCH THAT DIAL WHEN WE RETURN EL HIJO DEL SANTO PUTS IT ALL ON THE LINE AGAINST JUVENTUED GUERRERA!!!!!

Scott Hudson hypes the show, and says the Pan-American Cruiserweight Title tournament begins tonight, with Rey Mysterio Jr. facing off with Little Guido Maritano.

Pre-taped Promo w/ Moadib. We’re in Moadib’s living room, he’s sitting on the couch, dressed in a pair of jeans and a Dallas Cowboys t-shirt. Behind him, we see a trophy case, the camera focuses on a picture of Moadib, holding a Cowboys jersey.

Moadib says that getting fired by Akbar is the best thing that could have happened to him. Akbar has controlled him for far too long. He says that it’s time the fans knew the truth. His name is Ahmed Johnson, he’s from Pearl River, Mississippi, and he played in the NFL for the Dallas Cowboys. He talks about the picture in the trophy case, saying that it’s from draft day, where he was selected by the Cowboys.

Moadib, err, Ahmed, wraps things up by challenging Bam Bam Bigelow to a match.


Bill Irwin def. Global TV Champion Ahmed Johnson by Count-Out. During the match, Bam Bam Bigelow comes down to the ring, without Akbar, and argues with Johnson. This gives Irwin a chance to attack Ahmed from behind, but Johnson quickly turns the tables and nearly decapitates Irwin with a wicked clothesline.

While that’s going on, Bigelow picks up the Global TV belt, and admires it for a moment. Ahmed turns his attention back to Bigelow . . . just in time to see Bigelow WALK OFF WITH THE TV BELT!!!

Ahmed tries to get out of the ring, but he’s attacked again by Irwin. Ahmed tosses him aside and jumps out of the ring, and takes off after Bigelow. The referee counts to 10, and awards the match, by Count-Out, to Bill Irwin.


Highlights are shown of all 8 wrestlers that will take part in the Pan-American Cruiserweight Title tournament.

Promo w/ The Pitbulls and Tori. They’re in a gym, working out. Tori says that she hasn’t forgotten about Louie Spicolli giving her the Death Valley Driver, and promises Spicolli that her Pitbulls are going to destroy him! She tells Terri that if she ever gets her hands on Terri, she’ll kick her ass!


Rey Mysterio Jr. def. Little Guido Maritano to advance in the Pan-American Cruiserweight Title tournament. It’s a hard-fought match that runs about 20 minutes. Mysterio pulls out of a victory after a Springboard Legdrop.


Lee Marshall is joined in the ring by Dick Slater.

Slater wants to know why everybody seems to have forgot about him? He says that he’s the former Global Champion, but does he get a rematch for the belt, after Konnan STOLE it from him? Hell no! He says that punk Louie Spicolli got a shot, but not him. He says that he’s going to get another shot at that belt, even if he has to go through every other wrestler in the Global Wrestling Federation. He wraps things up by telling Konnan that he’d better watch out, because he’s coming to take that belt back.

Lee Marshall talks backstage with Skandor Akbar and Bam Bam Bigelow. Bigelow’s got Ahmed Johnson’s Global TV Title belt. Marshall says that Moadib, now going by his real name, Ahmed Johnson, is chomping at the bit, he wants to get his hands on Bam Bam Bigelow!

Akbar says that’s not going to happen. Moadib, or Ahmed, or whatever he wants to call himself, is only small potatoes. They’re not going to concern themselves with him. He’s got something far more important to talk about. As Marshall, and all the fans can see, he know has the Global TV Title back, and now for the next phase of his plan . . . he wants the Global Heavyweight Champion KONNAN!

Akbar says that next week, he will make Konnan an offer he simply won’t be able to refuse, and promises Marshall that by the time next week’s show ends, Global Champion Konnan will be a member of his stable!

Scott Hudson hypes the show, and says the Pan-American Cruiserweight Title tournament continues tonight, as Hysteria meets El Samurai!

Lee Marshall interviews Skandor Akbar and Bam Bam Bigelow. Marshall talks about the promise Akbar made last week.

Akbar won’t disappoint, and he asks Global Champion Konnan to come to the ring!

Konnan comes out.

Akbar tells Konnan that the young man has already accomplished a lot, he was the AAA World Champion, and unified that belt with the Global Title to become the one TRUE World Champion. He says that things are only going to get tougher, but if he sides with Akbar, the General can make sure that Konnan holds onto the belt for as long as he wants. He also talks about his oil connections, and says that he can make Konnan wealthy beyond his wildest dreams!

Konnan thinks about it for a moment, and seems to seriously be considering it. But finally, he responds, and tells Akbar that, as Akbar said, Konnan has done just fine without a manager, and that’s the way he’d like to continue.

Akbar pushes some more, telling Konnan to give it some more thought.

Konnan says he’s already made up his mind, and turns and leaves the ring. Akbar’s left, speechless, in the ring.
