Bud Walton Arena
Fayetteville, AR
3/6/95 Craig Johnson and Larry Zbyszko open the show. Johnson, “Welcome to the Bud Walton Arena on the campus of the University of Arkansas. Last week we saw the American Tag Team Titles change hands. This week the American Heavyweight Championship is on the line. The Champion, 2 Cold Scorpio, meets this man.” Steve Williams comes out. Johnson, “Mr. Williams you meet 2 Cold Scorpio for the American Heavyweight Title. Scorpio has held the title since October and seems to get better and better each time out.” Williams, “Scorpio’s good, I know that. Nebraska was good, but we lined up and we beat them! I’ve come to ACW to win titles and it starts tonight!” Zbyszko, “It’s going to be your strength against Scorpio’s aerial tactics. Can you stop that?” Williams, “I’m going to beat him up so badly he can’t leave the mat.” Zbyszko, “That’s a good plan.” Johnson, “Let’s go to the ring.” Match #1
Johnny Smith vs. Tommy RichThe young man from Manchester, England has a stiff test against the former World Champion. The match begins with a handshake. Rich looks very good from the outset.

Mike Rotundo def. Dave Taylor, w/airplane spinLee Marshall is with Gary Albright and Abdullah the Butcher. Marshall, “With me are Gary Albright and Abdullah the Butcher. Gentlemen what you did to Johnny Ace was terrible. Two on one, why?” Albright, “No one showed us any respect. Abdullah is a legend in this sport and I am an NCAA wrestling Champion! Even with all that we were an afterthought! That’s not going to happen again!” Marshall, “Johnny Ace will be back, and he’ll want revenge.” Albright, “Back, don’t make me laugh! Johnny Ace will never wrestle again. That’s just the first one. We are going to end careers until someone gives us our respect!” Marshall, “I think Johnny Ace will be back. Let’s see these two monsters in the ring.” Match #3

At 11:30 we will present one hour of wrestling, don’t miss it!” Marshall is with Inspector Whippleman and his entourage. Marshall, “Well Inspector your men deserve all the credit in the world. They are the Champions. I’m sure you’re out here to brag.” Whippleman, “You bet I am. First of all, where’s Zbyszko? I wanted to crow in front of him.” Marshall, “This is my interview Inspector. What about the tag titles?” Whippleman, “Just as predicted. The stupidity of the Steiner Brothers cost them and the Quebecers have hand delivered the titles to the Province of Quebec! What a glorious event!” Marshall, “Well there are many top tag teams around, and who knows, there may be some teams from outside ACW who would like a shot at those titles.” Whippleman, “Let them come, let all of them come! The Quebecers are the Champions and the rest of the tag team division is chasing us!” Marshall, “Very true. Let’s see the new Champions in action.” Match #5

Williams is one tough dude, but so am I. I’m ready. When I won this title I promised to fight the best. I took care of Douglas and now it’s on to Williams. It’s going to be a war, I mean a war, but I won’t walk out of here without this title, they’ll have to carry me out! Marshall, “Mr. Atlas?” Atlas, “The time for talking is past! Let’s go fight!” Marshall, “When we return, our main event.” Match #7
American Heavyweight Championship
2 Cold Scorpio (Champion) w/Tony Atlas vs. Steve “Dr. Death” WilliamsThe crowd is buzzing during introductions. Referee Teddy Long gives instructions to both men they shake hands and the bell ring. The early moments are a feeling out process. Scorpio wants a fast pace and he gets it. He whips Williams into the ropes and backdrops the big man. 2 Cold covers him, but you can’t pin the former Sooner that easily. The crowd seems evenly split. The match goes back and forth until Williams overpowers Scorpio. He sets him up for the “Oklahoma Stampede”. He hits it and goes for the cover. Long counts 1…2…3! We have a new American Heavyweight Champion! Long hands the belt to Dr. Death. Scorpio gets to his feet and offers his hand to Williams. Steve takes it. This was a match between two Champions. Winner-Steve Williams (New American Heavyweight Champion) Marshall joins Williams in the ring. Marshall, “Steve Williams, you did what you promised! You are the Champion!” Williams, “Dr. Death doesn’t make idle promises. I came here to be the Champion and now I am.

Let’s not waste any time and bring out the new American Heavyweight Champion, ‘Dr. Death’, Steve Williams!” Williams comes out with the title. Johnson, “Doc, you beat a tough man in Scorpio.” Williams, “I give 2 Cold all the credit in the world. He’s good, just not as good as me.” Zbyszko, “Steve I give you a lot of credit. I know how good you were, but I thought Scorpio’s athleticism might be the difference, but you were ready for it.” Williams, “I came here on a mission and I accomplished the first part of it. I won the Title, now I have to keep it.” Johnson, “Well you are not resting on your laurels. Tonight you meet Maxx Payne in a non-title match, but next week, at our big show in Detroit, you put the title on the line against a newcomer to ACW, but a well-known veteran, Koko B. Ware, another high-flyer.” Williams, “I didn’t come here to sit around. I’ll get in the ring and I’ll put this belt on the line. Ware is a veteran, and you’re right, he’s another high flyer, but I plan to ground him.” Johnson. “That will be next week and we’ll talk more about the big three hour show scheduled for next week, but we have a lot on tap for tonight. Steve Williams takes on Maxx Payne, The Quebercers will be here, the Patriot will be in action and in the main event, Masahiro Chono puts the International Heavyweight Title on the line against a worthy challenger, Tommy Dreamer.

This could be a long night.” Whippleman, “What are you talking about. First of all, this bum, Dreamer, doesn’t deserve a chance. Chono has proven his superiority over and over. Why should he do it again?” Marshall, “Well many of his matches have ended with some controversy. Many people think Chono wins because of you.” Whippleman, “Lies, just the lies Zbyszko tells on the broadcast.

Join me at 11:30 on ESPN 2.” Larry Zbyszko is with the Patriot.  Zbyskzo, “With me is the Patriot. You continue to impress the fans, and even more importantly, you have impressed me, and that’s not easy.” Patriot, “Thank you Mr. Zbyszko. The competition is tough here and that’s what I want. Tonight I meet John Nord, who’s a big, powerful guy.

When we return our main event will be in the ring.” Match #7
International Heavyweight Championship
Masahiro Chono (Champion) w/Inspector Whippleman vs. Tommy DreamerDreamer takes the fight to the Champion. The man from Yonkers is in control and the Champion is in trouble.

I’m going to let Larry tell you some of what you will see.” Zbyszko, “The action in ACW just gets better and better. Next week Johnny Ace will return to action and will take on Abdullah the Butcher and Gary Albright. Ace will have a ‘mystery’ partner, it better be someone good to take on those two monsters. Steve Williams defends the American Heavyweight Title against veteran Koko B. Ware. In womens action, Akira Hokuto defends the ‘Red Belt’ against Bull Nakano.” Johnson, “Those matches are fantastic, but I just got a message in my ear piece. We have two more matches to add. First in a rematch, Masahiro Chono meets Mike Rotundo with the International Heavyweight Title on the line, and listen to this, the Quebecers will defend the American Tag Team Titles against this team” We see highlights of Rey Mysterio Jr. and Billy Kidman in action. Johnson, “Mysterio Jr. and Kidman are a great young team. They are two of the best high flyers in the business. They have been competing in WCW, which is one of the oldest and most respected organizations in professional wrestling.” Zbyszko, “That little worm, Whippleman, may see two of this meal tickets lose their titles in Detroit.” Johnson, “Join us, next week, for the ‘Super Show’!” |

We have four big, exciting matches for you tonight. The opening match features a newcomer to ACW, but a name that is known all over the world. It’s fitting to have a man from the ‘Emerald Isle’ on 'St. Patrick’s Day’, Dave ‘Fit’ Finlay.” Finlay joins Marshall. Marshall, “Mr. Finlay is a native of Belfast, Northern Ireland and he has held titles all over Great Britain and Europe. Mr. Finlay welcome to ACW.” Finlay, “Thank you Marshall.

Match #2
Big Titan and Horace Boulder def. Killer Kyle and Jerry Flynn, Big Titan w/exploder suplex vs. KyleMarshall is with Tommy Rich. Marshall, “With me is Tommy Rich. Mr. Rich you are trying to make a comeback of sorts. You gave Wolf Hawkfield a great match a couple of weeks ago. Your reputation, as a former World Champion, precedes you. Tonight you meet another tough veteran, ‘Gentleman’ Chris Adams.” Rich, “Thank you Lee. I am making a comeback. I’ve been around and I’ve seen the top of the wrestling world and the bottom. I think I’ve got something left and I think I proved it against Hawkfield. Adams is a lot like me. He has the history, but wrestling is about what you do today. I’m fired up and ready, he better be too!” Marshall, “Let’s hear from Chris Adams.” We see prerecorded comments from Adams. Adams, “Tommy Rich is a legend in this sport. He held the World Title at a very young age. He’s still good and I know I am too. I’m ready for him.” Marshall, “Let’s see this match in the ring.” Match #3
“Wildfire” Tommy Rich vs. “Gentleman” Chris AdamsThe two veterans put on a good show. The early moments belong to Adams. Rich rallies, but then Chris recovers to set Tommy up for the superkick. Rich ducks it and comes off the ropes with the Thez press. Referee Jack Doane counts the fall, a nice win for the veteran. Winner-Tommy Rich Marshall is with Wolf Hawkfield  Marshall, “With me is the Television Champion Wolf Hawkfield. Mr. Hawkfield, you have held the title for some nine months now. You’ve beaten all comers, but maybe no one like your opponent tonight Tiger King. He is a high flying, highly skilled wrestler, who has been very impressive since arriving in ACW.” Hawkfield, “This masked man from Japan is very good. I am very impressed by him. I have not been the Champion for this amount of time by overlooking anyone. He will come prepared, and so will I.” Marshall, “Our main event is next.” Match #4
American Television Championship
Wolf Hawkfield (Champion) vs. Tiger KingTiger King uses his high flying to counteract Hawkfield’s power advantage. The first few minutes are very even. Wolf grabs the advantage and comes close to getting the three count, but Tiger King escapes. The masked man lands a flying bodypress and covers Hawkfield, but the man from Snow Mountain kicks out before referee Chad Patton counts three. The remainder of the match is even and the 10 minute time limit expires. The match is a draw. Result-Time Limit DrawLee Marshall closes the show. Marshall, “What a show! ‘Saturday Night Wrestling’ is off to a fast start. ACW continues to provide excitement for its fans. Tune in Tuesday night for ‘ACW Live!’.

Don’t be ridiculous, those two Mexican jumping beans need to be in a ballet! Do you really think those two morons can beat the mighty Quebecers, I’ll answer that…No!” Marshall, “Inspector Whippleman is very confident.

Billy and I are young, but we have a lot of confidence. The Quebecers are very good, but we know we can beat them.” Kidman, “Just what Rey said.

Soon I will control the entire organization. Me men will have all the gold and I’ll be sitting in the head office, and my first move will be to promote you…to assistant custodian. The ‘Dangerous Queen’ is unstoppable. She is the greatest woman wrestling of all time and Bull Nakano will find out why. Now on to Mr. Chono, he has held the International Title since February and beaten all comers. Mike Routndo just can’t seem to understand when he’s beaten, so tonight we will teach him another lesson.

Larry, he and Rotundo must meet again to decide things.” Zbyszko, “Chono and that little worm survived and that’s all they did. Rotundo needs one more chance.” Johnson, “I’m sure he will get just that. Now let’s talk about the next week in ACW. Lee Marshall hosted the opening edition of ‘Saturday Night Wrestling’. It was a critical and ratings success.

Johnson, “Mr. Hansen, welcome to ACW. You shocked us all last week.” Hansen, “Ohhhhh! Who cares Johnson! I came here to destroy anyone in my path. Abdullah, you and I go back a long way! We’ve wrestled all over the world, they still talk about our matches in Japan! Well neither one of us got the better of the other and that sticks in my craw! I pinned you in a tag team match, not many men have done that! Tonight I’m going to do it one on one! Ohhhh!” Johnson, “Stan is correct. A pinfall over Abdullah is a big deal. One in a singles match would be even bigger. That’s one of our three main events. In our other two, Masahiro Chono, with Inspector Whippleamn, defends the International Heavyweight Title against former NWA World Champion Tommy ‘Wildfire’ Rich and Steve ‘Dr. Death’ Williams defends the American heavyweight Title against ‘Gentleman’ Chris Adams. What a night of action we have.” Match #1

Crush def. Barry Hardy, w/heart punchLee Marshall is with Big Titan and Horace Boulder. Marshall, “With me is a new tag team in ACW, Big Titan and Horace Boulder. Gentlemen, you have had great success in Japan. Now you’re in ACW. We have some of the top tag teams in the world, how do you fit in.” Titan, “Listen Marshall, what we are up to is our own business, but we’ll tell you anyway. Horace and I dominated Japan and now we’re here to beat up anyone in our paths! Horace and I have destroyed anyone who steps in our path and we’re going to do it here as well!” Boulder, “Just what he said! We’re the best and this is the place to prove it! If you have any guts, put you name on the contract and find out how good we really are!” Marshall, “This team is one to watch. When we come back, Big Titan and Horace Boulder take on the fine team of Bobby Blaze and the Colorado Kid. Match #3

Match #4
The Can-Am Express def. Jerry Flynn and Killer Kyle, Furnas w/powerslam vs. FlynnZbyszko is with Whippleman. Zbyszko, “With me is Harvey Whippleman. Harve, your tag teams seems to be ducking the Road Warriors, but let’s talk about Chono first. He takes on Tommy Rich, a former World Champion. I don’t think very much of you, but Chono is very good. Rich will be a tough test though.” Whipplman, “First of all Zbyszko, it’s ‘Inspector’ Whippleman. Now Chono is on top of the world, he’s not going to lose to a ‘Has Been’ like Rich, or you.” Zbyszko, “O.K. Harve. Chono is good, I already said that. But Rich is going to be a bigger challenge than you think." Whippleman, “Listen Zbyszko, I can’t believe ACW hired you, but if don’t start showing me the respect I deserve, you may find out how good the hospital plan is here at ACW.” Zbyszko, “O.K. Harvey. Let’s go to the ring and see Chono and Rich in action.” Match #5
International Heavyweight Championship
Masahiro Chono (Champion) w/Inspector Whippleman vs. Tommy RichRich takes the fight to the Champion. Chono is in trouble. Tommy hits the Thez press and referee Jack Doane counts two, but the Champion kicks out. Rich follows that up with a sleeper and Chono gets to the ropes. Chono is on the run and Whippleman is apoplectic at ringside. The “Inspector” shouts orders to his man. Chono begins to rally. Rich puts up a good fight, but Chono hits the Yakuza kick for the win. Winner-Masahiro ChonoMatch #6
Abdullah the Butcher vs. Stan HansenThis has mayhem written all over it. Very few men have scored pinfall wins over the Butcher, and Hansen did it in last week’s tag team match. The man from the Sudan will be out for blood, even more than usual. Both men tear into one another. They slug it out and wrestling goes out the window. The Butcher gets the edge and works over Hansen in the corner. The big cowboy fights his way out and hammers away at Abdullah. He whips the Butcher into the ropes and hits the lariat. Hansen goes for the cover and referee Chad Patton counts 1…2…3! Stan Hansen pins Abdullah again! Winner-Stan HansenLee Marshall is with Steve “Dr. Death” Williams. Marshall, “With me is Steve ‘Dr. Death’ Williams, the American Heavyweight Champion. Doc, last week you took on Koko B. Ware, and this week you meet another veteran, ‘Gentleman’ Chris Adams. You are not backing down from any challenge.” Williams, “Look Marshall, I came to ACW to be Champion. I did that. Now I want the entire wrestling world to know how good I really am. You can’t prove that by ducking anyone. I’ve been in the business for several years, I’ve wrestled the best and beaten the best. That’s not going to stop. Chris Adams, you’re good, but you’re just another obstacle in my path.” Marshall, “The Champion is primed for action.” Match #7
American Heavyweight Championship
Steve “Dr. Death” Williams (Champion) vs. “Gentleman” Chris AdamsThe early moments start slowly. Adams avoids begin trapped by Williams. The veteran from Stratford Upon Avon thinks his way through the match. Williams gets a bit frustrated and begins to roughhouse. Adams holds his own, but the Champion is too much. He lands the Oklahoma stampede and referee Teddy Long counts the fall. Winner-Steve WilliamsJohnson and Zbyszko close the show. Johnson, “Legend, we had quite a night. Steve Williams looked good, as did Stan Hansen. Abdullah the Butcher is going to be out for revenge.” Zbyszko, “What about that little worm Whippleman? He has the tag team champs, but I think there are several teams that can take those titles, and I want to see it!” Johnson, “Let’s talk about next week. We will be back in the birthplace of ACW, Columbus, OH. The ‘Red Belt’ will be up for grabs as Akira Hokuto will put the title on the line against the woman she took it from, Aja Kong. Now let’s talk about the main event. Inspector Whippleman’s men, the Quebecers, Kensuke Sasaki and Masahiro Chono will be in eight man tag team action. They will meet Mike Rotundo, Johnny Smith and these men.”  We see highlights of the Road Warriors in action. Johnson, “That’s right, the Legion of Doom, the Road Warriors will be here in eight man tag team action!” Zbyszko, “Wow! The Road Warriors! That just made old Harve a little more nervous! Johnson, “The Road Warriors in ACW, what big news! Let’s not forget about ‘Saturday Night Wrestling’. Dave Finlay will be in action, as well as a new tag team known as the ‘Pearls of the Orient’. I don’t know who they are, but if they are coming here, they must be good. There you go fans, don’t miss ‘Saturday Night Wrestling’, as well as ‘ACW Live!’, it’s going to be great!” |

Tonight we will bring you four great matches. We have an American Television Title match, we will see a new tag team from Japan, Johnny Smith will be in action, as will this man.” Dave Finlay joins Marshall. Marshall, “With me is ‘Fit’ Finlay. Mr. Finlay you continue to take on the top competition in ACW. Tonight you meet John Nord. He’s big and very tough.” Finlay, “That’s right! That’s the kind of guy I want to be in the ring with. I’m here to fight and Nord will do that, fight! I can’t wait.” Marshall, “Fit Finlay is moving up the ranks. It won’t be long until he is challenging for one of the titles here in ACW. Let’s go to the ring and see Finlay take on John Nord.” Match #1
Dave Finlay vs. John NordThe big Nord and Finlay go at it hammer and tong. They exchange rights and lefts and neither man back up one inch. Finaly whips Nord into the ropes and backdrops the bi man to the mat. He covers him, but Nord kicks out. Finlay complains to referee Chad Patton about a slow count. The slugfest continues until Finlay hits the Celtic cross on the big man and gets the pin. Winner-Dave FinlayMarshall is with Wolf Hawkfield. Marshall, “With me is the Television Champion Wolf Hawkfield. Mr. Hawkfield, you have being going back and forth with Tiger King. The masked man from Japan has given you some very good matches, and come close to taking the title from you.” Hawkfield, “He is a worthy contender and I know I will meet him again and it will be a challenge.” Marshall, “As a matter of fact, you are scheduled to meet him on Tuesday night on ‘ACW Live!’. I know he will be ready.” Hawkfield, “As will I. This title means a lot to me. I have had it for some time and do not plan on giving it up without a fight.” Marshall, “And a fight it will be. Tuesday night on ‘ACW Live!’, Wolf Hawkfield vs. Tiger King. Now let’s see the Champion in the ring.” Match #2

Match #3
Johnny Smith def. Allen Funk, w/missile dropkick Craig Johnson is with Tommy Watanabe. Johnson, “With me is Tommy Watanabe, our Japanese wrestling expert. Tommy, we have a new tag team debuting tonight, The ‘Pearls of the Orient’. What do you know about them?” Watanabe, “Craig, I did some digging and I found out some very interesting information. The ‘Pearls of the Orient’ are not a new team made up of rookies. They are two of the top names in wrestling, both known the world over.” Johnson, “Really! Who are they?” Watanabe, “Well, I was able to make contact with them and they agreed to an interview on today’s show. Here they are, the “Pearls of the Orient’... Jushin ‘Thunder’ Liger and the Ultimo Dragon.” Liger and the Dragon come out and join Johnson and Watanabe.   Johnson, “Wow! Liger and the Dragon are two of the top names in the game! ACW continues to add to an already top roster. Take it away Tommy.” Watanabe interviews the ‘Pearls of the Orient’ and then translates. Liger and Dragon tell Watanabe they came to ACW because the top tag teams in the world are in this organization. They have put aside personal differences to form this tag team and are looking for matches with the top tag team in ACW. Johnson, “When we return, the ‘Pearls of the Orient’ take on the tough team of Greg Valentine and Dave Taylor.” Match #4
The Pearls of the Orient vs. Greg Valentine and Dave TaylorThis is a great contrast in styles. The fast paced Liger and Dragon and the ground based attack of the veterans on the other side of the ring will provide great action. The match is very even. Taylor is able to trap the Dragon in the corner and he pounds away on him. Dragon escapes and tags in Liger. The Japanese legend goes to work on the Englishman. He lands the Liger bomb for the win. Winners-The Pearls of the OrientMarshall closes the show. Marshall, “Another great night of ‘Saturday Night Wrestling’! ACW continues to make news each and every week. The debut of the ‘Pearls of the Orient’ changes the face of tag team wrestling in ACW. They will return next week. We will have tag team theme on next week’s program, not only will Liger and the Dragon be here, but we will see two veteran teams in action, Tommy Rich and Chris Adams will team up to take on the team we saw this week, Greg Valentine and Dave Taylor. All this, and the Patriot will be in action. That’s next Saturday. Don’t miss ‘ACW Live!’ on Tuesday night, Akira Hokuto meets Aja Kong with the ‘Red Belt’ on the line, Wolf Hawkfield meets Tiger King and the big eight man tag team match featuring the debut of the Road Warriors!, what a night of action!” |
