<b>PROGRAM START</b>
<b>VTR: LAST WEEK ON 'BIG LEAGUE' TV...</b>
<u><i>JIP- Sgt. Slaughter versus Nikolai Volkoff...</i></u>
This 'brawl and stall' technique continued until the referee got tired of Adnan's shenanigans and ejected him from the match. Adnan refused to leave and had the Sheik at ringside sticking up for him until Pittman came around the ringside area, pulled Adnan from the ring apron and began carrying him to the back over his shoulder! From there the match continued with Slaughter taking the fight to both Volkoff and an interfering Sheik. The referee was then accidentally knocked out of action for a few moments as he got squashed in the corner after a double reversal quickly sent things going back his way. Slaughter then was able to lock the Cobra Clutch on Volkoff, but there was still not ref. It was at this time that the Iron Sheik took his pointy boot, 'loaded it' and then removed it from his foot and clocked the Sarge in the back of the head with it! Slaughter was out cold and Volkoff was on top for the three count, having slid the boot back out toe Sheik, by the time referee had come around...
RESULT: VOLKOFF BY PINFALL (8:49)

Following the contest, the Sheik hastily got his boot back on and then quickly escorted a groggy Volkoff away from the ringside area as Sgt. Craig Pittman rushed back out to check on Slaughter and attempt to tell the referee what had taken place. Pittman's cries fell on deaf ears, however, as the referee had not seen what had taken place. Pittman seemed really upset about the proceedings, but it appeared as though there was nothing he could do...

<b>GX: The Convention Center – Atlantic City, NJ</b>
<b>Jay Sulli & Dennis Coralluzzo </b> welcome the fans to another episode of 'Big League' TV as Major League Wrestling takes to the air for another week of great action. Sulli and Coralluzzo then ran down what would be on today's program, including <b>Sgt. Craig Pittman</b> in singles action. From there it's one of the most exciting tag teams in all of professional wrestling a the Mexican <b>Silver Kings</b> will be here... And... In today's 'Main Event' we will be seeing a huge tag team encounter as 'the Superfly' and his son, <b>Jimmy Snuka Jr. & Sr.</b> do battle with none other than the notorious duo of <b>the Muracos: Don & Don Jr.</b>...
From there, the program went to break with Sulli and Coralluzzo letting everyone know that before the hour was up they would also be hearing from <b>the Snukas</b> and <b>the Muracos</b> prior to their big match. Sulli and Coralluzzo also said that they would 'relive' what transpired here last week between <b>Honky Tonk Man</b> and <b>the Renegade Warrior</b>. Major League Wrestling then went to break with Coralluzzo saying that a lot was going on 'behind the scenes' here in Major League Wrestling and that he hoped to have a 'big announcement', possibly as soon as next week, but that he couldn't legally talk about things right now as nothing had been finalized, but that this deal would definitely be something good for MLW...

Major League Wrestling returned with Sulli and Coralluzzo setting the table for today's opening contest when they pause and notice that Sgt. Craig Pittman has made it into the ring with a steel folding chair. Pittman goes over to his scheduled opponent, Ray Lloyd and says something to him off microphone. Lloyd nods his head that he understands and then STEPS OUT OF THE RING! Pittman then opens up the chair, places it in the middle of the ring and takes himself a seat... Folks, it looks like we're gonna' have ourselves a good old fashioned SIT IT! After several uneasy moments, Jay Sulli finally went and got a microphone and approached Sgt. Pittman...
-
-
-
<b>JAY SULLI:</b> “Sgt. Craig... Sgt. Craig... What's the meaning of this?”
-
-
-
<i>An intense Pittman grabs the microphone...</i>
-
-
-
<b>SGT. CRAIG PITTMAN:</b> “'Oh I think you should know, Sulli... EVERYBODY saw what happened here last week and Sarge, he still ain't right from it... I did the best I could to keep things evened out, but it was three on two and once I took Adnan out that still left the Iron Sheik to do the damage... The way I see it... I MESSED THIS UP... So I'm gonna' be the one to MAKE IT RIGHT... AND I'M NOT MOVING FROM THIS RING UNTIL I'VE DONE SO! Sheiky... So far as I can see... You and I... WE GOT A PROBLEM... Now I know you like to brag about being in the Olympics ages ago, but what some of you may not know is that I proudly took on the VERY BEST when I was in the armed forces and I think... No... I KNOW... I can take anything you can dish out, AND THEN SOME! So get on out here! Let's see what you can do when you have to FIGHT SOMEONE LIKE A MAN!”

-
<i>After a few moments, General Adnan and the Iron Sheik made their way out...</i>
-
-
-
<b>THE IRON SHEIK:</b> “HA... DON'T MAKE-AH ME LAUGH! You want to fight ME, Sheiky Baby? I con't believe... Iron Sheik form-rah Olympian... Iron Sheik form-rah World Champion... You... You no-think.... SHEIKY BABY NUMBRA ONE... GENERAL ADNAN NUMBRA ONE... SARGENT-AH PITTMON AND U.S.A....... AKPATOOEY!!!!”

<u> <b>MATCH #1: SGT. CRAIG PITTMAN vs. <del>RAY LLOYD</del> THE IRON SHEIK</b> </u>
This wasn't much of a scientific match up as Adnan distracted Pittman from the get go and allowed the Sheik to come up from behind and begin choking him out with the Iranian flag. The Sheik got Pittman down and then began chopping, kicking and stomping away at this downed opponent before quickly going for the Camel Clutch. Pittman was too close to the ropes, however, and the hold was broken, but the Sheik still had control. The Iron Sheik then got a near fall following a side salto suplex, but Pittman still had plenty of steam and kicked out. The Sheik continued kicking and stomping away on the downed Pittman, but Sgt. Craig began fighting his way to his feet and pretty soon Pittman was the one taking the fight to the Sheik! This caused a worried General Adnan to wave towards the back and then hop up on the ring apron to distract the referee, but Pittman used the distraction to whip the Sheik right into Adnan, which knocked the General off of the apron. The Sheik then staggered backwards right into a rear waste lock by Pittman... Pittman pops the hips... AND DROPS THE SHEIK RIGHT ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD WITH A BIG BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX! Here come's Nikolai Volkoff out of the back! Pittman with the cover... 1........2.......Volkoff's not going to make it!.........3!!!! Craig Pittman has just pinned the Iron Sheik!
RESULT: PITTMAN BY PINFALL (3:07)

Major League Wrestling returned with Sulli & Coralluzzo talking about the ongoing feud between the Honky Tonk Man and the Renegade Warrior with the announcers taking us back again to last week's program...
-
-
-
<u><i>JIP- The Renegade Warrior versus The Gambler, Last Week on 'Big League TV'...</i></u>
The Renegade then reached over, grabbed a playing card and raised it high to the heavens before bounding off the ropes and nailing the Gamble with a big flying shoulder tackle to set up the fall. The Renegade then laid the card across the defeated Gambler's chest... It was the 'Suicide King'...

<i><b>AND THE RENEGADE IS STILL STANDING... AND HE DON'T LOOK HAPPY FOLKS!!!!</b></i>
-
-

The Honky Tonk Man couldn't believe his eyes as he saw that the painted warrior was still standing from the blow. Honky then panicked, not knowing exactly what to do for a few seconds until he regrouped himself and quickly exited the ring with a startled look on his face.</i>
-
-
-
<i>Major League Wrestling then went to break with some 'exclusive footage' in which the MLW cameras had been conducting a backstage interview when they found a 'shell shocked' <b>Honky Tonk Man</b> sitting in a stair well, looking down at his hands and the remains of his shattered guitar and repeating the same thing over and over again...</i></u>
-
-
-
<b>HONKY TONK MAN:</b> “I can't believe what I just saw... He's not human... I can't believe it... I can't believe what I just saw... I hit him as hard as I could and NOTHING... He's not a man... (etc...)”
-
-
-
<i>Major League Wrestling then went to break with the announcers saying that it would appear as though it was the Renegade what has broken the Honky Tonk Man's psyche as opposed to the opposite. Sulli & Coralluzzo even suspected that the Honky Tonk Man might 'never be the same again'...</i>

<i> Major League Wrestling then returned with Sulli & Coralluzzo setting the table for the upcoming match featuring the Silver Kings and then mentioning that more matches had been signed between the Silver Kings and 'the Orient Express' in the 'near future'. The announcers then tossed to some pretaped comments from <b>Akio Sato & Kato</b> in which Sato did all of the talking, even though Kato looked like he wanted to say something, but kept getting 'cut off' by his partner. The bossy Sato's basic message was that the Silver Kings' moves may be 'flashy' but they 'lacked substance' and that would result in a victory for him and 'any partner he choose to have'...</i>

<u><b>MATCH #2: THE SILVER KINGS vs. THE RAVISHING BODIES: CHIC DONOVAN & RIP ROGERS</b></u>
The Silver Kings made their way out first and bounced around the ring and tested out the ring ropes as they waited for their opponents. After a few moments, Rod Stewart's 'Do Ya' Think I'm Sexy' blasted out over the public address system as Rip Rogers and Chic Donovan made their way out in matching tights and sequined vests as they posed and preened for the fans in the aisle way, which prompted Sulli to remark... “Hey guys... 1985 called and the Fabulous Ones want their gimmick back!” Once action finally got underway, things turned into a pretty entertaining, though mostly one sided match as the Silver Kings seemed to stay one step ahead of their veteran opponents, who ended making fools of themselves more than once with some bad timing and running into one another when the quicker Kings were able to get out of the way. The end came when #1 pinned a standing Rogers with a moonsault from the top rope...

MLW returned from break with Sulli & Coralluzzo letting the fans know that they were now preparing for today's big main event, but first the fans would be hearing some pre-taped comments from both the 'Muracos' and the Snukas. Jimmy is with Jimmy Jr. and Muraco is with his 'son' as well, but it's 'the Superfly' and 'Magnificent One' that do all of the talking...
-
-
-
<b>DON MURACO:</b> “You really just can't stand it can ya', Jimmy? You can't stand that Don Jr. and I's relationship is solid while you struggle with your own short comings... You make excuses as to why you have FAILED YOUR SON so many times... Oh.... I had travel problems... Somebody locked me in the locker room and I couldn't get out... I just really don't feel I should be responsible for my own flesh and blood... Well let me tell you this... There is NO EXCUSE for you Superfly... NO EXCUSE... I guess some people just aren't fit to be parents... Some people just can't 'share the bond' that Don Jr. and I have... You know I bet it's going to be a SAD and MISERABLE existence for you moving forward... You know why? BECAUSE I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE OF IT...”
-
-
-
<b>SUPERFLY SNUKA:</b> “You know this is it... What Superfly and little Jimmy have been looking forward to... To step into that ring circle with... with this man... MURACO... YOU AREN'T A MAN! You think it funny the struggles the Superfly have went through... Well it won't be so funny when the Snukas are through with you and your 'SO CALLED' SON! I've had about enough of this... I CAN STAND NO MORE.... The fire... It has burned for MANY, MANY MOONS, brudda... And, It will not be extinguished until I'm through with you...”

Major League Wrestling returned with Sulli & Coralluzzo setting the table for today's main event with some commentary over some quick video recaps of the events that led up to today's match. Included were, Muraco's original confrontation with Jimmy Jr., Snuka pinning Muraco with Jr's help, the introduction of 'Don Jr.' and 'the Meatball Sandwich Incident'...
-
-

<u><b>MATCH #3: 'SUPERFLY' JIMMY SNUKA & JIMMY JR. vs. THE MURACOS: DON & DON JR.</b></u>
This contest was all Snukas early as they battered Don and 'Don Jr.' from 'pillar to post' as they tried to gain a 'measure of revenge' against 'the Magnificent One' and company. After a few minutes of action, in which the Muracos basically ran for their lives, both teams halted in their tracks as <b>King Kong Bundy</b> made his way out into the aisle and just stood there with his arms crossed. The referee noticed him and pointed towards him and said that he didn't want any 'funny business' and Bundy responded by simply placing his arms up into the air as if to say that he 'meant no harm'. When action continued, both teams got off on more even footing and the match went back and forth for the next several minutes as Bundy sort of inched a little closer to the ringside area, but still didn't really do anything significant. The Muracos then took over the contest and worked over 'Superfly' as he attempted to make the tag in to his son. Finally the hot tag was made and all four men ended up brawling in the ring. The Snukas then double clotheslined 'Don Jr.' out of the ring with 'Superfly' then slamming 'the Magnificent One' and pointing to Jimmy Jr. for him to go up to the top rope for a 'Superfly Splash' and it looks like we are about to have a 'memorable moment' when Montoya....er 'Don Jr.' makes his way around the ringside area, jumps up on the apron and then shoves Jimmy Jr. off the top rope and to the arena floor below. 'Don Jr.' and Sr. then enter the ring and start double teaming 'Superfly', which draws the attention of the referee. As the referee tries to break up the two on one attack, Bundy then moves up on Jimmy Jr., places him up against the steel ring post and then hits him with an AVALANCHE!!! Jimmy Jr. crumples to the floor and looks like he's in a bad way... Wait a minute, the referee saw it and he's calling for the bell... Looks like Bundy just got the Snuka's disqualified!!!
RESULT: THE SNUKAS BY DISQUALIFICATION (13:55)

<i>Following the contest, Bundy entered the ring and joined the Muracos in beating down 'Superfly' Snuka. The Muracos held the elder Snuka up in the corner and allowed Bundy to hit the avalanche in the corner and from there 'the Magnificent One' began 'directing traffic'. <b>Ray Lloyd, Ron Cumberledge</b> and other preliminary wrestlers came out of of the back to try and make the save but were quickly disposed of by the three man wrecking crew. From there it was 'Don Jr.' turn to dish out some punishment on the elder Snuka and the 350 pounder delivered with a huge leg drop from off of the second rope that send the ring shaking! All hope looked lost at this point as the group had now decimated both Snukas. <b>Sgt. Craig Pittman</b> then ran in to a nice ovation and started tagging all three guys with big right hands! This, however, was short lived as there was no way Pittman could take on three men for any extended period of time. It was 'the Magnificent One' took care of Pittman personally with his Tombstone Piledriver. From there it was 'all smiles' as the elder Don congratulated Bundy and 'Don Jr' and then demanded a microphone...</i>

<b>DON MURACO:</b> “Hey.... How do you like us now!?!?! What we have here, ladies and gentlemen is my newest 'business associate'... Mr. Bundy... Mr. Bundy, welcome to 'the Family'...”
<i>Don smiles as he reaches over and gives Bundy a big hug and pat on the back. He then goes over and stomps 'Superfly' one time for good measure. By this time, Jay Sulli has made it up into the ring in an attempt to interview Mr. Muraco and company...</i>
<b>DON MURACO:</b> “See there, Jimmy... I TOLD YOU 'My Family' was strong... and, quite frankly... It's getting stronger ALL THE TIME! So what I would like to do right now is to issue a WARNING... Not just to Mr. Snuka here, but to ANYBODY that stands in the way of 'the Family'... Stand in my way and you will be CRUSHED OUT... Just like my cigars when I am done with them... Capice? Oh and ONE MORE THING... Sulli, I may still be 'Magnificent', but I think for now I would like to put that title 'on the shelf'... You see there are much, much bigger things brewing here... I've got 'my son' here... The 'family business' is thriving and so forth... So from now I think I'd like for you and your associates to refer to me only as 'the Don', as in 'the Don' of the Family... 'The Don' of professional wrestling... You got that? Get it... Good, Good... You rememba' that Sulli and you will do real good... We'll be seein' ya' in the near future, kid... You take care... Say hello to your mother for me...”

When Major League Wrestling returned, Sulli and Coralluzzo closed the program by recapping what happened on today's episode and reminding the fans that they would be back next week with more great 'Major League Action'. The two men still seemed to be somewhat in a state of shock after seeing how much damage the new trio of the Muracos and Bundy could cause. Jay and Dennis signed off by wondering if anyone could stand up to 'The Family'...</i></i>
