“Red, White and Boom Preview”
69th Regiment Armory
New York City
7/1/95



Mike Tenay and Larry Zbyszko open the show. The New York crowd chants “Larry, Larry, Larry”. Zbyszko acknowledges the cheers.

Tenay, “Welcome to the historic 69th “Regiment Armory. This venerable landmark is listed as a ‘Historic Structure’ and you can see why. I want to thank ACW for the chance to debut in such a historical venue. Let’s get right to the crux of the matter. ‘Legend’ we are two days away from one of the biggest nights in wrestling history. ‘Red, White and Boom’ will be a pay per view for the ages.”

Zbyszko, “’Professor’ you are correct about that. ‘Red, White and Boom’ is the greatest card I have seen put together in all my 20 glorious years in this sport. The fact we have the ‘Wrestling Encyclopedia’ with us, it doesn’t get any better than that.”

Tenay, “Thank you Mr. Zbyszko. Let’s get things started. Welcome Inspector Wippleman, Sonny Onoo and their group.”

Wippleman and his entourage come out.

Tenay, “Inspector Wippleman, you have quite a night for yourself at Yankee Stadium. It could be anight to remember, or it could be a night to regret.”

Wippleman, “Tenay, I’ve heard of you. People tell me you know everything about pro wrestling, tell me this, can you name one match Larry Zbyszko won in his career, of course you can’t hahahahaha!”

Zbyszko, “Keep running your mouth Harve, I’m about to shut it for good.”

Wippleman, “Not that I can’t protect myself, but I have several men and one woman here who would be glad to take care of my light work.”

Tenay, “O.K. Let’s get to the Pay per View. Let’s talk about the Quebecers. This will be their last chance to win the titles from the Road Warriors. Many people think their window of opportunity has closed.”

Wippleman, “Close, you must be kidding! I have outsmarted Ellering, not that it’s hard to do, but I did it. The Quebecers are peaking. They will take the titles with ease, just as Masahiro Chono will defend his.”

Tenay, “How about Bertha Faye?”

Wippleman, “You mean the ‘Snow Queen’, the beautiful Snow Queen. Her majesty is the top female wrestler in the game, and of course, the most beautiful woman in the world. She will defeat Akira Hokuto, and then she and I will dine late at Sardi’s, what a night it will be!”

Tenay, “So this relationship is more than professional?”

Wippleman, “That’s none of your business!”

Tenay, “Inspector Wippleman will be front and center at ‘Red, White and Boom’. Let’s go to the ring.”

Match #1
The Patriot and the Eagle def. Manukea Mossman and Allen Funk, Patriot w/Patriot missile vs. Funk

Lee Marshall is with Steve Williams.

Marshall, “With me is the American Heavyweight Champion. Mr. Williams, you meet Stan Hansen at ‘Red, White and Boom’. Many people are calling this a ‘Dream Match’. I know I can’t wait to see what happens.”

Williams, “I am the Champion and I’ve been Champion for a long time. Hansen is good, in fact, he’s a legend, but I’m not giving him this belt. He’s going to have to take it and that’s not going to happen! No Texan is going to beat this Oklahoma boy! Hansen, you show up at Yankee Stadium. Bring all you got because you’re going to need it!”

Marshall, “Let’s go to prerecorded comments from Stan Hansen.”

Hansen is standing in front of an empty ring. He slams his bull rope down.”

Hansen, “Williams, get ready for the beating of your life! I’ve been here long enough and it’s time I had a title and I want the one you have! I know it won’t be easy, but I’m coming to New York to take what belongs to me, the American Heavyweight Title! I may just keep this one. I don’t think I’ll run over it with my truck! You bring the best you got and I’ll be waiting for it!”

Marshall, “Dr. Death vs. The Lariat, it will be a knockdown, drag out, event.”

Match #2
Chaparrita ASARI def. Candy Okutsu, w/Skytwister press

Marshall is with Paul Ellering and the Road Warriors.

Marshall, “With me are Paul Ellering and the American Tag Team Champions. Mr. Ellering, the Quebecers have one more chance to regain the titles. If Inspector Wippleman signed that contract, he must have a plan in mind. I know the Road Warriors are always prepared, but Wippleman is sneaky.”

Ellering, “Lee Marshall, let Harvey Wippleman try all his tricks! Look at these two monsters, how can they lose! Hawk, Animal, the real ‘Monsters of the Midway’! We are prepared and we will reign supreme!”

Animal, “Quebecers, we’ve beaten you before and it’s going to be one tough night for you! It all ends for you that night! Tell ‘em Hawk!”

Hawk, “All I have to say is, what a ruuuuuuuuuuuush!”

Marshall, “The Road Warriors vs. The Quebecers, what a match! Now we have a unique match coming up. Nick Busick, the first American Heavyweight Champion, will meet the legend form Stratford upon Avon, Chris Adams. This will be good one.”

Match #3
“Gentleman” Chris Adams vs. Nick Busick

Two veterans do battle in this one. Busick uses his power to control the opening moments. He pounds away at the “Gentleman”. Adams is in trouble. The raucous New York crowd gets behind Adams. He rallies and takes the fight to Busick. Adams hits the superkick for the win.
Winner-Chris Adams



Marshall is seated in front of the “Red, White and Boom” banner.



Marshall, “Fans we are two days away from the biggest night in ACW history. ACW has been around for a little over a year and we are hotter than ever. On Tuesday night we invade the Cathedral of baseball Yankee Stadium. The greats have performed there, Ruth, DiMaggio, Mantle, Jackson and this new kid Jeter, who just debuted, may be another one.

Match #4
Six Man Tag Team Match
Johnny Smith, Johnny Ace and Tiger King vs. Barry Windham, Bob Orton and Justin Hawk Bradshaw

Windham expected to be in the main event on Tuesday. He can’t be happy tonight. The match begins with Orton and Tiger King in the ring. The masked man uses his quickness to confuse Orton and the man from Kansas City is on the defensive. Orton tags in Windham. Barry pounds away at Tiger King. The masked man tags in Ace and now the two big blonds slug it out. This is a knockdown, drag out war. Windham tags in Bradshaw, but doesn’t leave the ring. Bob Orton comes in as well. They both attack Bradshaw. Their opponents are stunned. Windham and Orton pound away at Bradshaw. The crowd is stunned as well. This is “payback” for what happened a few weeks ago. They leave Bradshaw in a heap. Windham grabs the mike.

Windham, “If it wasn’t for you, I’d be the Champion on Tuesday! This is the first beating, it’s not the last!”

Result-No Contest





Marshall closes the show.

Marshall, “Wow! Barry Windham showed his true colors. Maybe he should blame himself instead of Bradshaw. Join us on Tuesday for ‘Red, White and Boom’, it’s going to be a great show!”

“Red, White and Boom”
Yankee Stadium
New York City
7/3/95



Fireworks go off over Yankee Stadium. Mike Tenay, Larry Zbyszko and Lee Marshall are standing in the Yankee dugout.



Tenay, “Welcome to ‘Red, White and Boom!’ ACW is ready to celebrate America’s birthday with an exciting night of wrestling. Let’s watch this.”

America The Beautiful (Happy 4th of July)

Tenay, “If that doesn’t make you proud to be an American, I think you need to take up residence somewhere else. We have 11 big matches with six of them begin title matches. We also have the debut of one of the biggest names in professional wrestling. Lee Marshall is with the man they call Vader.”

Marshall is with Vader.



Marshall, “With me is the man called Vader. This man is one of the toughest men in the sport and if he is in ACW people are going to take notice.”

Vader, “That’s right! It’s Vader time in ACW! People told me this is where the best competition is, that may be true, but it’s better now with Vader in town! Demolition Ax, you think you’re a legend, well I’m going to kill that legend! It’s Vader Time!”

Marshall, “Let’s go to the ring for Vader vs. Demolition Ax.”

Match #1
Demolition Ax vs. Vader

The legendary Ax waits in the ring. The man from the Rocky Mountains comes out of the dugout and he is in a rage already. The big Yankee Stadium crowd is hushed. Vader climbs into the ring and goes right after Ax. Vader pounds away at Ax. Ax returns fire, but he can’t match Vader’s fury. Vader works over Ax and lands the Vader bomb for the win.
Winner-Vader

Match #2
Mike Rotundo vs. Dave “Fit” Finlay

Two skilled veterans meet in this one. Rotundo uses his wrestling skills to stymie Finlay in the early moments of the match. Mike goes for the airplane spin, but Finlay blocks it. The man from Belfast takes over. He gets Rotundo in the reverse piledriver and wins the match.
Winner-Dave “Fit” Finlay

Match #3
Jun Akiyama vs. Shinjiro Ohtani w/Sonny Onoo

Inspector Wippleman sends Ohtani out with Onoo for this one. These are two of the finest young wrestlers in Japan. They lock up and both youngsters exchange in a dizzying display of wrestling. They trade holds and counter holds and the Big Apple crowd is mesmerized. Akiyama uses his size advantage to take over. Ohtani rallies and uses the Dragon Bridge Suplex for a three count. These two must meet again.
Winner-Shinjiro Ohtani

Marshall is with Inspector Wippleman and his group.

Marshall, “With me is Inspector Wippleman and his entourage. Inspector, this is a big night for you. Shinjiro Ohtani got you a win earlier, but you have several big challenges ahead for you. The Quebecers have only one chance to win the tag titles. A lot of people think you have something up your sleeve.”

Wippleman, “What are you talking about? My men need only one chance. Pierre and Jacques are primed and ready to dispose of those two muscle heads. We have been collecting information and we have the perfect game plan to defeat them.”

Marshall, “O.K. let’s go to Larry Zbyszko with the ‘Legion of Doom’.”

Zbyszko is with Paul Ellering and the Road Warriors.

Zbyszko, “You heard that little worm, Wippleman, he seems very confident.”

Ellering, “Wippleman, you can’t be serious! You think this one last time, the game will change and your men can beat these monsters, of course not!”

Animal, “Wipplepunk, you can’t be this stupid, well I guess you can! Once we finish with those two Dudley Do Rights, we just might come after you!”

Hawk, “And I have one thing to say about this, oh what a ruuuuuuuush!”

Zbyszko, “Harvey, I think you’re in trouble.”

We go back to Marshall and Wippleman.

Marshall, “This isn’t your only upcoming match. Bertha Faye, the ‘Snow Queen’, defends the WWA Title against Akira Hokuto, the woman you two stole the title from.”

Wippleman, “Not only is the ‘Snow Queen’ more talented, but she is with most beautiful woman, not just woman wrestler, in the world. This is her coming out party, the world will see just how talented and beautiful this woman is.”

Marshall, “O.K. beautiful is one word, I don’t if I’d use that word, but someone could. Let’s go to the ring for our tag team title match.”

Match #4
American Tag Team Championship
The Road Warriors (Champions) w/Paul Ellering vs. The Quebecers w/Inspector Wippleman and Sonny Onoo

The Quebecers wait in the ring and the Road Warriors’ music hits. They storm the ring and the fight is on. It takes referee Chad Patton a few minutes to sort things out and the match is on. Hawk and Pierre do battle. Hawk is trapped in the wrong corner and both Quebecers pound away at him. This brings Animal into the ring and we have a wild brawl again. Patton has very little control over the action. Wippleman is able to distract the referee and the Quebecers hit a spike piledriver on Hawk. Pierre covers him and Patton turns to count the fall. The Quebecers retain the tag team titles! Ellering and the Road Warriors are livid as Wippleman and his men celebrate.
Winners-The Quebecers (New American Tag Team Champions)

Lee Marshall does the intros and Wippleman and the “Snow Queen” make goo-goo eyes at each other. The bell rings and Hokuto attacks the Champion. The ‘Dangerous Queen’ means business tonight. Bertha takes the beating and then takes to the floor to confer with Wippleman. She comes back and Hokuto is back on her like a duck on a junebug. The Snow Queen leaves the ring again, but this time Hokuto follows. They brawl on the infield until referee Jack Doane’s count reaches ten. Both women are counted out.
Result-Double Count Out

Match #6
WWWA Tag Team Titles
Las Cachorras Orientales (Champions) vs. La Diabolica and La Felina

This is a fast paced exciting match. The Japanese team is larger and uses that size and strength advantage to control the early moments of the match. The Mexican team, with their speed advantage makes a comeback. Both teams go back and forth until Etsuko Mita hits the Death Valley driver on Felina for the win.
Winners-Las Cachorras Orientales

Marshall is with Wippleman and his entourage. The Quebecers hold the American Tag Team Titles.

Marshall, “With me is one happy Canadian, by the way of Tennessee, Inspector Wippleman.”

Wippleman, “I am on top of the world! Ellering and those muscle bound fools ran their mouths and look who has the titles, and we are not giving them up! We are on top of the world and no one can touch us!”

Marshall, “What about the ‘Snow Queen’ it looked like she was in trouble.”

Wippleman, “Marshall, I know you lust after the Queen. She’s noticed you gaping at her. If it continues, she just might jack your jaw. I’ll ask you this, who is the Champion? And I’ll answer it for you, the beautiful ‘Snow Queen’ that’s all that’s important. Now the Great Muta goes to the ring to take on that mental midget Duggan. I’ve kept a leash on Muta because so much was going on. I’m turning him loose tonight. You are not going to like what going to happen.”

Marshall, “O.K. Let’s hear from Jim Duggan. He’s with Larry Zbyszko.”

Zbyszko and Duggan are standing in front of a “Red, White and Boom” banner.

Zbyszko, “With me is ‘Hacksaw’ Jim Duggan. Hacksaw, someone needs to shut up Old Harve. Can you beat Muta?”

Duggan, “Hooooooo! Listen tough guy! No one ever said Muta wasn’t good. He’s one of the best, but old Hacksaw’s been around for a long time. He’s wrestled them all and he’s beaten them all! Muta’s next on my list. This is the tomorrow is America’s birthday and there’s no prouder than I am! I’m ready. Let’s get this started!”

Zbyszko, “Let’s go to the ring.”

Match #7
The Great Muta w/Inspector Wippleman and Sonny Onoo vs. “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan

Duggan comes to the ring carrying the American flag. The Yankee Stadium crowd is solidly behind the man from Glens Falls. Muta comes to the ring wearing his mysterious hood. Wippleman and Onoo are full of themselves and drink in the boos of the crowd. Muta removes the hood and blows the mysterious green mist into the air. The bell rings and Duggan rushes Muta. The man from Japan seems taken aback and Duggan is in charge. Duggan gives an all-out effort, but Muta is too good. He takes over and hits the shinning wizard for the win. Wippleman’s hot streak continues.
Winner-The Great Muta

Match #8

Doug Furnas catches Deaton with a powerslam for the win.
Winners-The Can-Am Express and the Pearls of the Orient

Marshall is with Wolf Hawkfield.

Marshall. “With me is the Television Champion. Wolf Hawkfield has held the title for over one year, but his might be his toughest test. Rick Rude has been a Champion in many areas and many times over. Mr. Hawkfield, this is a challenge.”

Hawkfield, “Rick Rude has been a Champion many times over, but I am a Champion today. I know what I am up against. Rude is talented, but I want to wrestle the best and Rude is the best. I will walk to the ring tonight and give it my all. I will leave all I have in the ring and I believe that will bring me a win.”

Marshall, “Wolf Hawkfield is ready, let’s go to Larry Zbyszko and Rick Rude.”

Zbyszko is with Rude.

Zbyszko, “Rick Rude, Wolf Hawkfield has held the title for over a year. Why do you think you will be the one to beat him?”

Rude, “Listen to me Zbyszko, I have held titles all over the world. This will be my next one and I’m going to love beating that slimy redskin. Rick Rude will be on top of the world in just a few minutes.”

Zbyszko, “The Television Title match is next.”

Match #9

Rude, “What I’d like to have right now is for all you New York numbskulls to shut your mouths, so your women can watch me take off my robe.”

Hawkfield comes to the ring and the match begins. It is a display of wrestling skills. Rude and the Champion trade holds and counter holds. Both men get two counts, but neither can get a pin. Rude whips Hawkfield into the ropes and clamps on the sleeper. Wolf gets to the ropes and the hold is broken. The match continues until Hawkfield goes for the cyber spear.

Match #10
International Heavyweight Championship
Masahiro Chono (Champion) w/Inspector Wippleman and Sonny Onoo vs. Kensuke Sasaki w/Akira Hokuto

Two top Japanese wrestlers meet in this one. Akira Hokuto and Kensuke Sasaki were fired by Wippleman, and you know they both want revenge. The bell rings and two wild animals tear into one another. They pound away and the crowd is into every blow. Chono whips Sasaki into the ropes and goes for a back bodydrop. Sasaki stops and catches Chono in a backslide. Referee Jack Doane counts 1…2.. Chono kicks out. They continue to battle and eventually fall through the ropes. They continue to battle on the Yankee Stadium turf until Doane’s count reaches 10. Both men are counted out. In the confusion after the match Akira Hokuto corners Wippleman in tine ring. She grabs him and hits the Northern Lights Bomb on Wippleman. Chono and Onoo check on the Inspector as Hokuto and Sasaki leave the ring area.
Result-Double Count Out

Marshall is with Stan Hansen.



Marshall, “Tonight has been one of the most exciting nights of wrestling I have ever seen and the big one is coming up. Stan Hansen is challenging Steve Williams for the American Heavyweight Title. Mr. Hansen, this is the chance of a lifetime. Are you ready?”

Hansen slams down his bullrope, takes off his hat and slams it down and then spits.

Hansen, “Ready! Ready? Are you kidding me? I’ve been ready since the day I was born! I want that title, I’ve had others, I even ran over a world title with my truck! This ain’t my first rodeo! We all know how good Williams is. He’s a Champion and he’s as tough as they come! He’s going to get in the ring and so am I. We’re going to fight it out like two big Texas bulls! One of us is going to win and one of us is going to lose, and I know which one I’m going to be! I’m going to tell you this, Marshall, after you announce the match, you better get out of the ring, or you’re going to get caught in a tornado!”

Marshall, “I think Stan Hansen is ready. Let’s go to Larry Zbyszko with the Champion.”

Zbyszko is with Steve Williams.



Zbyszko, “With me is Steve “Dr. Death” Williams the American Heavyweight Champion. Doc, Stan Hansen is one of the toughest men in the sport, but so are you. People predict a war in tonight’s match. What do you see happening?”

Williams, “Zbyszko, I’ve been in the zone my whole career, but tonight’s different. Hansen is good, I know that, but so am I. I’ve been focused on Hansen since the match was signed. Now it’s time for me to pound him into pulp! Let’s get this started!”

Zbyszko, “Both men are ready, let’s go to the ring.”

Match #11
American Heavyweight Championship
Steve Williams (Champion) vs. Stan Hansen

Both men wait in their corners while Lee Marshall goes through the introductions. Senior referee Teddy Long will call the match. The bell rings and both men share a brief, aggressive hand slap. They circle one another. Both men are cautious. They know one mistake could cost them. They lock up like two bulls. It’s a stalemate and Long calls for a break. Both men, hesitantly, break the hold. The early moments are a feeling out process until Hansen has had enough. He goes after Williams with big left hands. The Champion fires back and the slugfest is on. This is a war! Neither man takes a step back until Hansen is able to back the Champion into the ropes. Stan goes for a clothesline and both men fall through the ropes. Both men fall to the turf and it appears that Williams falls awkwardly. He clutches his knee. Hansen knows he can’t win the title out of the ring. He quickly returns to the ring and Williams follows, but he is limping noticeably. Hansen goes to work on the injured knee of the Champion. He stomps away and Williams is in agony. Doc fights like a Champion, but Hansen sets up and lands the lariat. Williams is down. Hansen goes for the cover, and Teddy Long counts 1…2…3! We have a new American Champion! Hansen holds the title and looks down at the fallen ex-champion. Williams struggles to his feet and Hansen offers his hand to Doc. Williams shakes it. Lee Marshall is with both men.

Marshall, “Gentlemen, what a fantastic match! Stan you’re the Champion. What do you have to say?”

Hansen, “Look I earned this, but Steve’s injury had something to do with it. Williams, when you’re ready, I’m ready for a rematch.”

Williams, “I gave it my all, but Hansen was the better man…tonight! Next time, It’ll be different!”

Both men shake hands again.

Winner-Stan Hansen (New American Heavyweight Champion)

Tenay and Zbyszko close the show.

Tenay, “Larry what a show!”

Zbyszko, “In my twenty glorious years of wrestling, I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Tenay, “Join us for ‘ACW Live!’ this Thursday night at 9:00 on ESPN 2. We will have the fallout from tonight. Remember one man, who wasn’t even here tonight, will have a lot to say about this last match. Barry Windham should have some interesting comments and so should Justin Hawk Bradshaw. For the Legend, see you on Thursday.”

The broadcast closes with fireworks over Yankee Stadium.

Hersey Park Arena
Hershey, PA
7/5/95



Mike Tenay and Larry Zbyszko open the show. The Hershey crowd chants “Larry, Larry, Larry”. Zbyszko acknowledges the chants.

Tenay, “The fans of the ‘Chocolate City’ love their home state hero. ‘Legend’, what a show on Tuesday! ‘Red, White and Boom’ was an exciting night. We had several title changes and we will talk about them. Inspector Wippleman had a great night, until the end. We will talk to him later, but now let’s bring out the ‘NEW’ American Heavyweight Champion…Stan Hansen!”

Hansen comes out and joins Tenay and Zbyszko.



Tenay, “Mr. Hansen, congratulations, you and Steve Williams fought to the finish and you came out ahead, but many people wonder if had been different without Williams’ knee injury,”

Hansen, “Look I don’t give, or ask quarter, but you’re right. Williams was hurt, and when he comes back. He’ll get a title shot!”

Tenay, “We do have news concerning Williams. He will have knee surgery and he will be pout for some time. That means there will be many people waiting in the wings.”

Barry Windham and Bob Orton come out.



Tenay, “Mr. Windham, this is not your interview time.”

Windham, “Look Tenay, I’m Barry Windham, a legend in wrestling, it doesn’t matter if it’s my time. I’ll take the time I want! Now Hansen, I should have been in that match. If that incompetent Bradshaw had messed it up, I’d have beaten Williams!”

Hansen, “If you were man enough to wrestle me yourself, you might have been in the match, but you weren’t!”

Windham, Any time, Hansen, put that title on the line and I’ll take it!”

Hansen, “I’m glad you said that. I looked at the open contracts today, and you don’t have nay signed contracts for singles matches, are you afraid?”

Windham, “What, I just haven’t had time to sign any, I’m not afraid of you.”

Hansen, “O.K. You did have a signed contract for a tag team match with Orton as your partner. It’s for ‘ACW Live!’ next week.”

Windham, “So?”

Hansen, “So I signed it! I’ll wrestle you and Orton next week with my partner.”

Windham, “Who’s got enough guts to wrestle us?”

Hansen, “This young man.”

Out walks Justin Hawk Bradshaw. Windham and Orton are outraged.



Tenay, “Wow! Stan Hansen and Justin Hawk Bradshaw together!”

Bradshaw, “Windham, Orton, I was dumb, but I’m going to make up for that, and you’re going to pay!”

Tenay, “Hansen and Bradshaw vs. Windham and Orton, you don’t want to miss that. Now let’s get tonight’s program underway. Dave ‘Fit’ Finlay will take on a newcomer from Japan, TAKA Michinoku.”

Marshall, “With me is Inspector Wippleman, Sonny Onoo and their charges. Inspector, ‘Red, White and Boom’ was a pretty good night for you, until Akira Hokuto got a hold of you.”

Wippleman, “That ingrate, don’t mention her name! I made her what she is today, but once I dumped her she lost the title to the beautiful and talented Canadian beauty, my Snow Queen! And it was a glorious night for IWE LTD. The Quebecers are the tag champs, Masahiro Chono is still the International Champion and the most beautiful woman in the world, the Snow Queen, still holds the Red Belt. Toss in the Great Muta and Shinjiro Ohtani, what a time it is to be me!”

Marshall, “O.K., but you’re busy tonight. Masahiro Chono has a rematch with Kensuke Sasaki, and you know that Akira Hokuto will be at ringside with her husband.”

Wippleman, “Well Marshall, I have a scoop for you. The Snow Queen will accompany us to the ring. She demanded to come to ringside to stand by my side and I relented. Hokuto, you are in big trouble!”

Marshall is with Rick Rude.

Marshall, “With me is the “new” American Television Champion Rick Rude. Mr. Rude you ended Wolf Hawkfield’s year plus reign. That was very impressive.”

Rude, “Of course it was. Look that stupid redskin held this title for a long time. I’m sure he used the checks to buy a lot of firewater, but it was time to have a real man with the title, and that’s what Rick Rude is, a real man.”

Marshall, “I’m sure Mr. Hawkfield would like a rematch and I know there are others who would like to have a chance to take that title from Mr. Rude. As a matter of fact, Mr. Rude makes his first defense in our next match against Johnny Ace.”

With this said, you do not want to miss this Saturday’s program. We will present a double main event. One match is a rematch from Yankee Stadium. The Great Muta will meet ‘Hacksaw’ Jim Duggan. Let’s hear from Mr. Duggan.”

We see a prerecorded interview with Duggan.

Duggan, “Hooooo! Old Hacksaw gave it his best at ‘Red, White and Boom’, but Moota got the best of me. I’m ready for another chance! Moota, you show up ready to fight tough guy!”

Marshall, “Jim Duggan sounds ready, Our  second  main event on Saturday will be the television debut of the Man they Call Vader. He will take on the legendary Englishman ‘Gentleman” Chris Adams. Let’s hear from the man from the Rocky Mountains.”

We see a prerecorded interview from Vader.

Vader, “Chris Adams, prepare yourself for pain! Vader is in ACW and everyone should be running in fear! Vader is the man to destroy all men! Adams, you’re next!”

Marshall, “Wow! Chris Adams better be prepared. Vader is going to shift the balance of power in ACW.”

Match #7
International Heavyweight Championship
Masahiro Chono (Champion) w/Inspector Wippleman, Bertha Faye and Sonny Onoo vs. Kensuke Sasaki w/Akira Hokuto

This has mayhem written all over it. Hokuto puts the bad mouth on Wippleman and Bertha Faye steps between them. Referee Teddy Long tries to keep everyone separated, and it works, for now. The match begins and we have a hard hitting battle between two international stars. The momentum swings back and forth, both men have their chances. Wippleman tries to distract Sasaki. This causes Hokuto to go after him. Faye intercepts her and they begin to slug it out. This distracts Long. Sasaki turns to see what is going on and Chono rolls him up with a handful of tights. Long sees the rollup, but not the pull of the tights. Teddy counts the fall. Sasaki is livid, but Wippleman and his crew escape with the win. They high-tail it to the back.
Winner-Masahiro Chono

Tenay and Zbyszko close the show.

Tenay, “What a night of action. Legend, things continue to go Inspector Wippleman’s way.”

Zbyszko, “That little worn is riding high, but someone is going to knock him off his high horse, and it might just be a Polish legend from Pittsburgh.”

Tenay, “Really, that’s interesting? Well make sure don’t miss the upcoming action in ACW. On Saturday night, Lee Marshall hosts ‘Saturday Night Wrestling’ and this week you will see Vader take on Chris Adams and the Great Muta meets ‘Hacksaw’ Jim Duggan. Then, next Tuesday on ‘ACW Live!’, Stan Hansen and Justin Hawk Bradshaw take on Barry Windham and Bob Orton. We’ll see you then.”

Lee Marshall opens the show.



Marshall, “Welcome to ‘Saturday Night Wrestling’! ACW is still dealing with the fallout from ‘Red, White and Boom’, and we will talk about that tonight. Let’s bring out the former American Television Champion Wolf Hawkfield.”

Hawkfield joins Marshall.

Marshall, “Wolf, you held the title for over a year and Rick Rude finally took it from you. What is next for you?”

Hawkfield, “Rude beat me fairly and squarely, I salute for that, but I’m not going away. My people are proud warriors, who do not give up easily. I will get a rematch, and I will give my all, and I will regain the title. It is a quest and I will complete it.”

Marshall, “Well I can announce something now. Wolf Hawkfield will get a rematch with Rick Rude and it will take place next week, on ‘Saturday Night Wrestling’. Wolf, this is your chance.”

Hawkfield, “I will make the most of this chance. Rude, I respect you, but I’m coming to regain the title.”

Marshall, “Next week, Wolf Hawkfield meets Rick Rude, next he takes on the tough Englishman Dave Taylor.”

Match #1
Wolf Hawkfield vs. Dave Taylor

The tough Englishman presents a major problem for the former Champion. He uses his unique European style to confuse Hawkfield. Wolf rallies and wins with the cyber spear.
Winner-Wolf Hawkfield

Match #2
Pearls of the Orient def. Gary Albright and John Nord, Ultimo Dragon w/Asai moonsault vs. Nord

Marshall is with Vader.

Marshall, “With me is the man they call Vader. Vader, you beat Demolition Ax at ‘Red, White and Blue’ and you were very impressive. Tonight you take on another veteran, Chris Adams. The man from England has been around the block and won’t be easy defeat.”

Vader, “Easy! Easy! Do you think I look for the easy way out? I don’t! Vader is the most destructive sport in wrestling! Look at me, 375 pounds of destruction, who can stop me? Who?”

Marshall, “It’s hard to argue with Mr. Vader. Let’s hear from Chris Adams.”

We see a prerecorded statement from Chris Adams.

Adams, “I’ve come back to ACW because it’s the best wrestling in the world. Tonight I take on Vader. He’s one of the top names in the sport, but I want to take on the best. Vader, you better be ready, because I am.”

Match #3
“Gentleman” Chris Adams vs. Vader

The huge Vader attacks Adams at the bell. The man from England is in trouble. Vader pounds away and it looks like it might end early. Adams is able to survive the attack and rally. He gets in a few good starts, but the end comes when Vader slams Adams and hits the Vader bomb for the win.
Winner-Vader



Marshall is with Inspector Wippleman, Sonny Onoo and the Great Muta.

Marshall, “With me is IWE LTD. Inspector, you have been riding high in ACW. The Great Muta is one of the top names in the sport and he had a great match with Jim Duggan at ‘Red, White and Boom’. The fans loved the brawl and now there will be a rematch tonight. Duggan poses a problem, doesn’t he?”

Wippleman, “Duggan? A problem? If it was a spelling test, Duggan would be a problem, but not in the ring with the Great Muta. I’ll let Sonny finish this.”

Onoo, “Great Muta take care of dumb redneck Duggan. He embarrass that fool. He will do same tonight. Duggan, if you smart, which you not, you not show up.”

Marshall, “Let’s hear from ‘Hacksaw’.”

We see a prerecorded interview from Jim Duggan.

Duggan, “Old Hacksaw’s ready, don’t worry about me! Nobody said Moota wasn’t’ good, he beat me, but it wasn’t easy for him, I gave him all I had, now I’m going out tonight, and I’m going to beat him!”

Marshall, “This is going to be a great one.”

Match #4
“Hacksaw” Jim Duggan vs. The Great Muta w/Inspector Wippleman and Sonny Onoo

Duggan begins the brawl as aggressive as he’s been in a while. He pounds away at Muta. Wippleman and Onoo look very worried. Muta takes to the floor and confers with both managers. He returns and goes to the martial arts. This slows Duggan’s charge, but doesn’t stop it. “Hacksaw” hits the spear and covers Muta. Referee Jack Doane counts 1…2…3! Jim Duggan has upset the Great Muta.
Winner-Jim Duggan



Marshall, “What a match! Jim Duggan shows he has something left! ACW continues to provide the best in wrestling action. Tune in to ‘ACW Live!’ next Tuesday when Stan Hansen and Justin Hawk Bradshaw vs. Barry Windham and Bob Orton, then next Saturday night, Rick Rude defends the TV Title against, the former Champion, Wolf Hawkfield.

Mike Tenay and Larry Zbyszko open the show. The Pittsburgh crowd begins to chant “Larry, Larry, Larry”. Zbyszko acknowledges the hometown cheers.

Tenay, “Welcome to the Steel City, the crowd loves their hometown hero. What a show we have for you tonight. We have two giant main events, first Bertha Faye, the ‘Snow Queen’, defends the WWA Title against Akira Hokuto, and in a big tag team match, Barry Windham and Bob Orton take on Stan Hansen and Justin Hawk Bradshaw. That one should be a knock down drag out affair.”

Zbyszko, “Those are going to be good, but I want to talk about last Saturday. Let’s look at this.”

We see highlights of Jim Duggan vs. the Great Muta from last Saturday.

“Hacksaw” hits the spear and covers Muta. Referee Jack Doane counts 1…2…3! Jim Duggan has upset the Great Muta.

Zbyszko, “Let’s bring out old Harve, I want to hear his excuses.”

Wippleman and his men come out. Muta and Sonny Onoo are not with them.

Zbyskzo, “Harve, rough night on Saturday, where are Muta and Onoo?”

Wipplman, “Zbyszko, you get more cocky when we are in this sewer of a city. I know you’re trying to impress your illiterate Polish friends, but I’ll humor you. Muta is not here because I fired him! If you can’t beat Jim Duggan, you can’t wrestle for IWE Ltd! It’s as simple as that. Mr. Onoo is not here tonight because he is on a scouting trip for me. He is in Japan finalizing a deal that will shock the world! Soon IWE Ltd. will be even stronger!”

Tenay, “Can you tell us what’s going on?”

Wippleman, “Next week, Tenay, next week.”

Tenay, “That is very interesting. Let’s go to the ring and see Shinjiro Ohtani in action.”

Lee Marshall is with Dave Finlay.

Marshall, “With me is Dave Finlay, the ‘Belfast Bruiser’. Mr. Finlay, things have been going very well for you and I know you’re excited about the coming days in ACW. I’m going to let you tell the fans why.”

Finlay, “That’s right, Finlay has beaten everyone in my path and in August, I’m coming home. ACW is heading Ireland and I plan on being a big part of it. I am challenging Chono right now! I want the International Title and I want to win it in Ireland! Give me this shot, I deserve it!”

Marshall, “Finlay is right. ACW is headed for the Emerald Isle in August. We will spend four weeks in Ireland and people of that beautiful land can’t wait to see their native son, Dave ‘Fit’ Finlay, in action. I know Finlay vs. Chono is a match we’d all like to see, especially the fans in Ireland.”

Finlay, “I’ve seen the schedule. The last night of the tour is in Belfast, my hometown, I will be Champion on that night!”

Marshall, “That would be a great match. Now let’s see Mr. Finlay in action.”

Match #3

Marshall is with Barry Windham and Bob Orton.

Marshall, “With me are Barry Windham and Bob Orton. Gentlemen, tonight you meet Stan Hansen and Justin Hawk Bradshaw. You know that Bradshaw will be out for revenge.”

Windham, “Bradshaw got what he deserved before, and it’s going to be another night of pain for him. He should have sneaked out of town when he had the chance, now he’s going to get the lesson of his life. We’ll take care of him and then that leaves Hansen. He won the title in the match I deserved. He’s number one on my list. I’ll take care of him and enjoy every bit of it!”

Marshall, “I think you’re taking Bradshaw a little bit too lightly, but it’s going to be a great match.”

Match #5
WWA Championship
Bertha Faye (The Snow Queen) (Champion) w/Inspector Wippleman and Sonny Onoo vs. Akira Hokuto

The Snow Queen comes to the ring and Wippleman fawns over her. Horuto is like a caged Tigress pacing in the other corner. The bell rings and the Dangerous Queen charges Faye. She works over the massive Champion. Faye is in trouble. She rolls out of the ring and looks for comfort from Wippleman and Onoo. Hokuto will have none of this and she takes to the floor and works over the Snow Queen. Both women end up in the ring, momentarily. They battle it out and end up on the arena floor again. This time referee Jack Doane’s count reaches ten and they are both counted out. Again, no satisfaction for Hokuto.
Result-Double Count Out

Match #6
“Gentleman” Chris Adams def. “Desperado” Joe Gomez, w/super kick

Marshall is with Stan Hansen and Justin Hawk Bradshaw.

Marshall, “With me are Stan Hansen and Justin Hawk Bradshaw. Gentlemen you have joined forces. Justin I know you want revenge against Windham and Orton.”

Bradshaw, “That’s right! I was a fool to trust Windham. He used me to get what he wanted, but I’ve wised up! I know I can trust Stan and we plan on putting a beat down on both those fools!”

Marshall, “Stan, Barry Windham wants the American Heavyweight Title. You know he’s going to try to injure you to make it easier to take that title from you.”

Hansen slams down his bullrope.

Hansen, “Let him try! Windham, you think you’re pretty smart, but you didn’t get the title shot in New York, I did, and I won it! Now you’re going to try something else, I don’t know what it is, I don’t care! Come to the ring and take your beating, and Bradshaw’s out for blood! He wants a big old piece of both of you! Let’s get this thing started!”

Marshall, “Let’s go to the ring for our main event.”

Match #7
Stan Hansen and Justin Hawk Bradshaw vs. Barry Windham and Bob Orton

Senior referee Teddy Long has the unenviable task of refereeing this one. All four men pace back and forth during Lee Marshall’s introductions. The bell rings and its Stan Hansen vs. Bob Orton to open the match. They lock up and Hansen goes to work. He pounds away and Orton is on the defensive. Hansen tosses Orton to the corner. He wants Windham. Barry tags in and this is what the fans want to see. The two big men lock up. Windham drives a knee to the mid-section and starts to work over the Champion. This seems to make Hansen even angrier. The brawl is on. The match continues in this vein. Bradshaw and Orton are the legal men and they brawl in the ring. Windham and Hansen battle it out on the floor. Bradshaw hits the clothesline and covers Orton. Long counts the fall and Bradshaw gets some revenge.
Winner-Stan Hansen and Justin Hawk Bradshaw

Tenay and Zbyszko close the show.

Tenay, “What a match! This one is not over by a long shot.”

Zbyszko, “These four men want to finish each other, and they just might do it.”

Tenay, “Let’s talk about what coming up in ACW. On ‘Saturday Night Wrestling’, Rick Rude defends the American Television Title against Wolf Hawkfield and Vader will be in action, then next Tuesday, ACW Live! will feature an American Tag Team Title match between the Champions, the Quebecers, and the Pearls of the Orient.

Marshall, “With me is the man called Vader. Mr. Vader, you have arrived with a storm here in ACW. You are undefeated, so far, and have been very impressive.”

Vader, “I came to destroy, and that’s what I’ve done…DESTROY! I took care of Demolition Ax when I first got here, I took care of Chris Adams last week, and this week it’s someone else! Vader is here to DESTROY!”

Marshall, “Well let’s talk about Chris Adams. He gave you quite a battle last week.”

Vader, “I took care of him, he’s no match for me!”

Marshall, “Well then next week will be a night off for you. You’ve been signed to wrestle Adams, again, next week.”

Marshall is with Rick Rude.



Marshall, “With me is the American Television Champion Rick Rude. Mr. Rude you have held the title for a few weeks, and now you must put the title on the line against the former Champion Wolf Hawkfield. This will be a stiff challenge for you.”

Rude, “What are you talking about? That savage couldn’t beat me in New York and he can’t beat me tonight! Look at me, I have the best body in wrestling and I have the most skill in the sport. All this redskin has is ‘liquid courage’ from firewater! I’ll beat him like the bad guys used to do to Tonto, it’s all over for you Hawkfield!”

Marshall, “Let’s hear from Wolf Hawkfield.”

We see a prerecorded statement from Wolf Hawkfield.



Hawkfield, “I held the Television Title proudly for over one year. I was defeated, fairly, but Mr. Rude. I accept that. Now it is my quest to regain the title. This quest ends tonight. I have retreated to Snow Mountain for meditation and preparation. I take nothing away from Rick Rude, he is a fine wrestler, and willing to go beyond the rules to gain victory. I must be prepared for that.  I will go to the ring tonight and give my all and seek victory.”

Marshall, “When we return, the American Tag Team Title will be on the line.”

Match #4
American Television Championship
Rick Rude (Champion) vs. Wolf Hawkfield

Rude take the mike from Marshall.

Rude, “What I’d like to have now is for all you fat, ugly hillbillies to shut your mouths so your women can watch me take off my robe.”

The bell rings and they lock up. Both men wrestle cautiously in the early moments. Neither man wants to make a mistake. Hawkfield gains an advantage and the crowd gets behind him. He slams Rude and goes for a lateral press. Rude kicks out before referee Jack Doane’s count reaches three. The match continues to go back and forth with both men having their chances. The bell rings, the time limit has expired. Rude escapes this time.
Result-Time Limit Draw

Marshall closes the show.

Marshall, “This situation is nowhere near over. These two men will meet again. We keep saying that ACW gets better and better and that will continue in the next week.

The show opens with Mike Tenay standing in a room with a long table. At the table sit Inspector Wippleman and Sonny Onoo, and on either side of them, Toshiaki Kawada, with five title belts on the table in front of him and Akira Taue with two in front of him.

Tenay, “Fans we have a different opening tonight. Last week Inspector Wippleman told us that Sonny Onoo had returned to Japan on a scouting trip. Obviously he found someone, or more than one. I’ll turn things over to Inspector Wippleman.”

Wippleman, “Alright Tenay, now get out of here. I did send Sonny to Japan to find more talent for IWE Ltd. and find talent he did. This is Toshiaki Kawada on my left and Akira Taue on my right. Let me tell you a little about them. They have been competing in All Japan Pro Wrestling run by the legendary Giant Baba. Mr. Kawada holds their top singles title, the ‘Triple Crown’. It is signified by the top three belts in front of him. Mr. Kawada and Akira Taue hold the ‘Unified Tag Team Titles’ signified by the two belts in front of both men. These two men are known as the ‘Holy Demon Army’. You don’t get that nickname because you help old ladies across the street. We have received permission from All Japan to have these titles defended in the United States and in ACW. Now I control the two best tag teams in the world and the two best singles wrestlers. IWE Ltd. is the most powerful organization in the history of professional wrestling.”



Tenay, “Wow! Toshiaki Kawada and Akira Taue with Inspector Wippleman! How can you beat that? Remember, Inspector Wippleman’s other tag team, The Quebecers are the American Tag Team Champions, and they put those titles on the line tonight against the Pearls of the Orient.  Now let’s go to the ring for our opening bout.”

Marshall, “I’m sure Hansen will have no problem putting the title on the line.”

Windham, “He’s a coward!”

Marshall, “Well I don’t think that’s true. Let’s talk about Bob Orton. On ‘Saturday Night Wrestling’ Mr. Orton meets Justin Hawk Bradshaw, one on one, maybe.”

Orton, “What do you mean, maybe? I don’t need any help! Bradshaw, you’re going to pay for your mistakes and it starts on Saturday night.”

Watanabe, “The ‘Holy Demon Army’, Toshiaki Kawada and Akira Taue, are two of the most successful wrestlers in ‘All Japan Pro Wrestling’. Kawada holds the ‘Triple Crown Title’. It is the combination of three titles and is considered one of the most prestigious titles in wrestling. Kawada is known for his powerful kicks, most noteworthy in the ‘Kawada Kick’. Taue is a former sumo wrestler, who has teamed with Kawada to win the ‘Unified Tag Team Titles’. This is the combination of two titles, and again, considered one of the top titles in wrestling. Taue uses the chokeslam and has won may matches with it.”

Marshall, “This is why Tommy is the top man in Japanese wrestling. Now for some exciting news, we will see the ‘Holy Demon Army’ in action next week. They will take on another new team in ACW Tribal Nation. You may not like Inspector Wippleman, but he has a powerful organization.”

Match #5
Johnny Smith vs. Tiger King

The youngster from Great Britain takes on the masked Japanese veteran. Tiger King uses his quickness to control the early action. He whips Smith into the ropes and backdrops him to the mat. He covers Smith, but Johnny kicks out. Smith uses his strength advantage to slow the pace of the match. He slams Tiger King to the mat and climbs to the top rope. The masked man struggles to his feet and Smith hits the missile dropkick. He covers Tiger King for the win.

Marshall is with Inspector Wippleman, Sonny Onoo and the Quebecers.

Marshall, “With me is one of the happiest men in wrestling, Inspector Wippleman. Sir, you shocked the wrestling world by bringing in the ‘Holy Demon Army’.”

Wippleman, “It’s about time you recognized my greatness. I have the International Champion, I have the American Tag Team Champions and now I have the Triple Crown Champion and the Unified Tag Team Champions. No one in wrestling history has had such talent working for them!”

Marshall, “That very well may be true. Now let’s talk about tonight. Your Quebecers meet the Pearls of the Orient, Jushin ‘Thunder’ Liger and Ultimo Dragon. Many people have called them uncrowned tag team champions, they may win that crown tonight.”

Wippleman, “You want to rile me up, but it won’t work. This night started out as a great night for IWE Ltd., and it’s going to end with the Quebecers taking care of those Halloween masked fools!”

Marshall, “Our main event is next, it’s going to be a classic.”

Match #7

Liger and Dragon have been waiting for this chance. They will have to keep an eye on Wippleman and Onoo. The bell rings and its Jacques and Liger. They trade holds and counter holds. The talented Liger is very sharp and he takes over. His fast pace tactics have Jacques on the defensive. Pierre comes in to help, but this brings in the Ultimo Dragon and it’s a brawl. Referee Teddy Long gets things sorted out and the match continues. Both teams have their chances, but can’t finish it. All four men end up in the ring and Long can’t control the action. He calls for the bell and it’s a double disqualification.
Result-Double Disqualification

Tenay and Zbyszko close the show.

Tenay, “Legend, what a tag team match. It was close, but Inspector Wippleman’s men escape with their titles and now with Kawada and Taue, he’s group is even stronger.”

Zbyszko, “He’s still a little weasel! I’m sure that Liger and Dragon will get another shot, and I’m pretty sure they’ll be the Champions soon.”

Tenay, “That could be. Let’s talk about what’s coming up in ACW. On Saturday night, Lee Marshall hosts ‘Saturday Night Wrestling’. One feature match will be Vader vs. ‘Gentleman’ Chris Adams in what will be a wild encounter. Also this man will debut on Saturday.”

Tenay, “Again the fans love the ‘Legend’. We are in Columbus, OH, the birthplace of ACW! What a night we have for you. Inspector Wippleman sends his new tag team, the ‘Holy Demon Army’ into the ring against Tribal Nation.

Hansen joins Tenay and Zbyszko.



Hansen, “Let’s welcome the American Heavyweight Champion, Stan Hansen. Mr. Hansen, we all make the trip to Ireland in August. Are you ready for some sightseeing?”

Hansen slams his bull rope to the floor and then his hat.

Hansen, “Do I look like a tourist? Do I look like I want to sightsee? No! I the only sight I want to see is Barry Windham getting his head knocked off by one of my lariats! That’s what I want to see!”

Tenay, “Well that leads us to next week. We will be in Dublin, Ireland, at the National Basketball Arena, and we have two feature matches, first of all Justin Hawk Bradshaw meets Bob Orton, in what should be a real war, and then in the other feature match, Mr. Hansen defends the American Heavyweight Title against Barry Windham. Mr. Hansen, you get your wish.”

Hansen, “I’m ready for this! I’m not taking my big fat wife, or my eight screaming kids to Ireland, I don’t want to spend that much money, but when I beat Windham, you can bet I’ll end up in a pub, and they better have Lone Star in longnecks, not that warm Guinness! Windham, I’m coming for you!”

Zbyszko, “Hansen vs. Windham and Bradshaw vs. Orton will be great, I can’t wait to get to Ireland and see this.”

Lee Marshall is with Dave “Fit” Finlay.



Marshall, “With me is Dave ‘Fit’ Finlay. Mr. Finlay, we are headed for your homeland. I know that has to be exciting for you.”

Marshall, “We’d all like to see that match. Maybe something could be arranged.”

Finlay, “On August 23, we are at King’s Hall in my hometown of Belfast, that’s the night I want to beat Chono! Wippleman, don’t be a weasel, sign the contract!”

Marshall, “Finlay, in Belfast, that would be great. Now let’s see the ‘Belfast Bruiser’ in action.”

Finlay, “I’m excited about that, true, but what I really want is a shot at the International Title. Chono has been avoiding me, and that little worm, Wippleman, won’t sign a contract. Come of Chono, wrestle me in Ireland, and I’ll take the title in my homeland!”

Match #3
Dave “Fit” Finlay vs. Tiger King

The tough Irishman takes on the high flying masked Japanese star. They exchange holds and counter holds. Tiger King is able to use his quickness to keep Finlay on his heels. The masked man gets a two count, but Finlay kicks out. Finlay grabs the momentum and pounds away at Tiger King. He catches Tiger King in the reverse piledriver and referee Chad Patton counts the fall.
Winner-Dave “Fit” Finlay

Match #4
Wolf Hawkfield def. “Desperado” Joe Gomez, w/cyber spear

Marshall is with Barry Windham and Bob Orton.

Marshall, “With me are Barry Windham and Bob Orton. These two gentlemen will play promenade roles in next week’s ‘ACW Live!’. Mr. Windham challenges Stan Hansen for the American Heavyweight Title and Bob Orton looks for revenge against young Justin Hawk Bradshaw.”

Windham, “I have to travel all the way to Ireland to take the title, well that’s what I’m doing! Hansen keeps running, but when I get him next week, it’s all over. I’ve deserved the title since I got here and now I’m going to take it!”

Orton, “I want to say one thing to Bradshaw! You messed up and cost Barry the title and you embarrassed me in that tag team match! You’ve got a big debt to pay, and I’m collecting it, next week!”

Marshall, “Let’s go to the ring and see Barry Windham in action.”

Match #6
“Gentleman” Chris Adams def. John Nord, w/Superkick

Marshall is with Inspector Wippleman and his entourage.

Marshall, “With me is Inspector Wippleman and his entourage. Inspector, you are going to be very active in our feature matches tonight. First, Shhinjiro Ohtani takes on Jun Akiyama. These two have met before and the slate is about even. What’s going to happen tonight?”

Wippleman, “He’s going to win, what do you expect? Akiyama has lucked out a few times, but that’s not going to happen. Shinjiro is a far superior wrestler and he will take care of that punk, Sonny and I will see to that.”

Marshall, “That’s what worries me. Now on to the other match, the ‘Holy Demon Army’, Kawada and Taue, makes their ACW debut against a very talented veteran team, ‘Tribal Nation’, Mark and Chris Youngblood. What will we see tonight?”

Wippleman, “The ‘Holy Demon Army’ has arrived! What a night it’s going to be! Kawada and Taue are going to show these stupid Americans what tag team wrestling is all about! I have the two top tag teams in the world and I am the greatest manager, we all know that!”

Marshall, “Inspector Wippleman is always confident. Let’s see Akiyama vs. Ohtani.”

Match #7
Jun Akiyama vs. Shinjiro Ohtani w/Inspector Wippleman and Sonny Onoo

These two have done battle for several months and the slate is even. The early moments are a dizzying display of wrestling. Both men get two counts, but neither man can get the pin. Ohtani begins to grab the edge, and Wippleman and Onoo are supremely confident. Akiyama draws on all his abilities and hits the Blue Thunder driver for the win. Wippleman and Onoo are outraged.
Winner-Jun Akiyama

Marshall is with” Tribal Nation”.

Marshall, “With me Mark and Chris Youngblood, ‘Tribal Nation’, gentlemen you have a tough task ahead of you. Kawada and Taue are one of the top teams in the world.”

M. Youngblood, “We have great respect for these two men. We have been in Japan and they are the top team over there. This is a hug chance for my brother and I.”

C. Youngblood, “What my brother said, we respect them, but we don’t fear them. Kawada and Taue are very good, and Wippleman and Onoo are sneaky, but ‘Tribal Nation’ is ready!”

Marshall, “Tribal Nation vs. The Holy Demon Army is next.”

Match #8
Unified Tag Team Championship
The Holy Demon Army (Champions) w/Inspector Wippleman and Sonny Onoo vs. Tribal Nation

Kawada and Taue carry the four belts that signify the “Unified Tag Team Championship”. The bell rings and Taue and Mark Youngblood open the match. The larger Taue takes control. Youngblood tries to use his quickness to offset Taue’s power. Things look bad you the Youngbloods when Mark tags in Chris. Chris makes a brief comeback until Kawada. The “Triple Crown Champion” takes over. He uses his kicks to subdue Youngblood. He hits the Kawada Kick to gain the fall. What a debut for Inspector Wippleman’s team.
Winners-The Holy Demon Army



Tenay and Zbyszko close the show.

Tenay, “Legend, what a show! Inspector Wippleman’s new team looks very good, and we knew they would. Now it’s off to Ireland.”

Zbyszko, “I’d rather visit Poland, but Ireland will be fine.”

Tenay, “We will be in Dublin next Thursday and what a night of wrestling we have planned. We have two great features matches. Justin Hawk Bradshaw takes on Bob Orton and Stan Hansen defends the American Heavyweight Title against Barry Windham, and in one match just added, Akira Hokuto gets one more shot at the ‘Snow Queen’. She challenges Bertha Faye for the ‘Red Belt’. Join is on the “Emerald Isle”!”
