National Basketball Arena
Dublin, Ireland
8/2/95 Mike Tenay and Larry Zbyszko open the show. The Dublin crowd chants “Larry, Larry, Larry”. Zbyszko acknowledges the cheers. Tenay, “Céad míle fáilte, which means 100,000 welcomes! We are on the ‘Emerald Isle’! The people of Dublin love the ‘Legend’. We’ve been here in Ireland for a few days. What a beautiful country! Legend, what do you think?” Zbyszko, “It is a beautiful country, lots of pubs I stopped in a little pub called ‘Fitzgerald’s’ in a little town called Ballykissangel. The owner is a very attractive woman named Assumpta, and the people there are very friendly. I recommend it.”* Tenay, “We have a great show for you tonight. We have a double main event. Justin Hawk Bradshaw takes on Bob Orton, and in our second main event, Stan Hansen defends the American Heavyweight Title against Barry Windham. We will also see a WWA Title match as Bertha Faye, the Snow Queen, defends against Akira Hokuto. We are in Ireland, and it is the homeland of this man, Dave ‘Fit’ Finlay.” Finlay and “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan come out. Tenay, “With us are Dave Finlay and Jim Duggan. Gentlemen, you are in tag team action tonight, but let’s talk about where we are. Mr. Finlay, you have to be overjoyed to be in your homeland.” Finlay, “It is great to be here in Ireland. I’m happy to be teaming with Hacksaw tonight, and if I get what I want, in a couple of weeks, I’ll take the International Heavyweight Title from Chono. That would be a dream come true.” Marshall, “Well we have something to announce tonight. On August 23 at King’s Hall, in Belfast, Dave Finlay will challenge Masahiro Chono for the International Heavyweight Title.” Finlay, “Chono, Wippleman, I’m coming for that title and I’m taking it in Belfast!” Marshall, “That will be great, now let’s see Finlay and Duggan vs. Gary Albright and John Nord.” Match #1

Wolf Hawkfield def. TAKA Michinoku, w/Cyber SpearMarshall is with Inspector Wippleman and his entourage. Marshall, “Welcome to Ireland. What do you think?” Wippleman, “We all know that Canada is the penthouse of the Commonwealth, now we’ve found the outhouse. What a dump!” Marshall, “I know there are a lot of people who would disagree with you. Tonight, Bertha Faye defends the ‘Red Belt’ against Akira Hokuto, the ‘Snow Queen’ keeps escaping, but tonight may be her Waterloo.” Wippleman, “What are you talking about? The beautiful Snow Queen will defeat this street urchin and then she and I will hit the streets of Dublin, it’s not much, but when we walk down these streets those poor, unwashed Irishmen will bow down to us!” Marshall, “We will see. Now on to another subject, Masahiro Chono will defend the International Heavyweight Title against Dave Finlay, in Belfast, Mr. Finlay’s hometown.” Wippleman, “Talk about a stacked deck! Chono will have to face Finlay and thousands of drunken Irishmen, there aren’t any other kind, in Belfast. It doesn’t matter. When he slams the Yakuza kick into Finlay’s thick skull, it will be all over!” Marshall, “Again Inspector Wippleman is very confident. Let’s see the Snow Queen and the Dangerous Queen.” Match #4
WWA Championship
Bertha Faye (Champion) w/Inspector Wippleman and Sonny Onoo vs. Akira HokutoHokuto is out for blood. She charges Faye at the bell and pounds away. The Snow Queen is stunned, and tries to escape, but Hokuto grabs her by the hair and continues to punish the Champion. Things look bad for Bertha until Wippleman is able to distract Hokuto and the Snow Queen goes to work. She pounds away at Hokuto, and the “Dangerous Queen” is in trouble. She is able to rally. She scoops up the massive Faye and hits the Northern Lights bomb. She covers Faye and referee Jack Doane counts 1…2…3! Akira Hokuto regains the “Red Belt”! Wippleman and Onoo are stunned. Winner-Akira Hokuto (New WWA Champion)

Marshall, “With me are the American Heavyweight Champion, Stan Hansen, and Justin Hawk Bradshaw. Gentlemen, you both have big matches coming up. Mr.Bradshaw, you take on Bob Orton, and Mr. Hansen, you put the title on the line against Barry Windham. These are big matches.” Bradshaw, “Orton, you don’t learn! I took care of you in the tag team match a few weeks ago, and I’m going to do it again! You get in that ring and let me finish you off!” Marshall, “Mr. Hansen.” Hansen, “Windham, you’ve been whining for months now, you couldn’t take the title from Williams and you can’t take it from me! This title means a lot to me, and you’re not man enough to take this from me! I’m going to clothesline him back to the good old US of A!” Marshall, “These two seem ready for action.” Match #7
Bob Orton vs. Justin Hawk BradshawBradshaw attacks Orton at the bell. Windham has stayed in the locker room to prepare for his match. Orton is on his own. Bradshaw is a man possessed. He pounds away at Orton and Orton takes to the floor. Bradshaw follows him. He pounds Orton’s head into the turnbuckle. He tosses Orton into the ring. Orton gets in a few shots, but Bradshaw is too tough. He whips him into the ropes and drops him with a clothesline. Bradshaw covers Orton and referee Chad Patton counts the fall. Winner-Justin Hawk Bradshaw Marshall is with Barry Windham. Marshall, “Mr. Windham, Bob Orton failed in his match with Bradshaw, now you have your chance against Stan Hansen. Is this the night you take the title?” Windham, “Orton failed, but I’m going to handle this one myself! Hansen has no business with the title, I’ve held the World Title, and now I want this one! I had to chase Hansen all the way to Ireland, but it’s going to be worth it!” Marshall, “Windham vs. Hansen, for the title, is next!” Match #8
American Heavyweight Title
Stan Hansen (Champion) vs. Barry WindhamOrton does not accompany Windham to the ring. He must be licking his wounds after the match with Bradshaw. Both big men circle one another. They are cautious and neither man is willing to make a mistake. They lock up and Windham grabs a side headlock. Hansen shoots him into the ropes and drops him with a shoulder block. Hansen works over Windham. Hansen slams Windham to the match and goes for the cover. Referee Teddy Long counts 1…2…No! Windham kicks out. Hansen looks in control, but the man from Sweetwater won’t give up easily. He drives a boot to the Champions midsection and now Barry is in control. They go back and forth and the match remains very even. Hansen digs deep and begins to pound away at Barry. Both men tumble through the ropes. They battle on the floor. Long’s count reaches ten, it’s a double count out. Suddenly someone comes out of the crowd with a chair. He smashes Hansen! It’s Kendall Windham, Barry’s brother! They both stomp away at the fallen Champion! Wrestlers from the back come to ringside and pull the Windham’s off Hansen. Stan struggles to his feet and tries to go after them, but he is held back. Result-Double Count Out Tenay and Zbyszko close the show. Tenay, “Wow! Kendall Windham is with his brother. Barry Windham is more dangerous than ever. Hansen may be in even deeper trouble. What a night legend.” Zbyszko, “ACW action is the best there is. I really enjoyed seeing Wippleman’s main squeeze losing the title!” Tenay, “Well Wippleman had a disappointment tonight, but next week could be even worse. We will be back here in Dublin, this time at the Point Theater. Tag Team will take center stage. The Holy Demon Army, Kawada and Taue, defend the titles against the Can-Am Express. Wippleman’s other tag team champion team, the Quebecers, meet the Pearls of the Orient, with the American Tag Team Titles on the line. Wippleman has one more thing to worry about, we know that Masahiro Chono is scheduled to defend the title against Dave Finlay in two weeks, but he may not make it to that match. Next week, he defends the title against ‘Hacksaw’ Jim Duggan, again the action in ACW is the best there is!” *A nod to a great BBC TV show from the 90’s, Ballykissangel. It’s also an opportunity to post a picture of the most beautiful woman walking the face of the earth, Dervla Kirwan.  |

We saw a title change and two great feature matches, and the debut of Kendall Windham. Let’s bring out the Windham brothers and Bob Orton.” Barry, Kendall and Orton come out. Tenay, “Mr. Windham. Let’s get right to the point. Your brother, Kendall, showed up and smashed Stan Hansen with a chair. What’s going on?” B. Windham, “Just like it was with Williams, things are always stacked in Hansen’s favor! Orton has helped, but blood’s blood, and Kendall is right beside me!” Tenay, “Well, you three make a strong team, I’m sure the rest of ACW is keeping an eye on you. We have two exciting tag team feature matches tonight.

Your men hold two major tag team titles, but they may leave Dublin empty handed.” Wippleman, “Marshall, your jealously is so evident. I have, with my giant mental acumen, have lead two teams to the top of the wrestling world, and now you want to tear us down. It won’t work. My teams will prevail and you will cower in fear from both of them!” Marshall, “Inspector Wippleman is always confident, and so far, his men have backed him up. Let’s go to the ring for the American Tag Team Championship match.” Match #4
American Tag Team Championship
The Quebecers (Champions) w/Inspector Wippleman and Sonny Onoo vs. The Pearls of the OrientThe masked men from Japan are poised to take the titles, at least that’s what the experts think.

Jacques is in trouble. He’s able to get to Pierre and tag out. Pierre fares no better. Liger tags in the Ultimo Dragon and the he takes the fight to Pierre. Finally Pierre rolls out of the ring and the Quebecers confer with Wippleman and Onoo. The match resumes and the masked men are still in control. Things look bad for the Champions. Liger tries to get Pierre up for the Liger bomb, but Onoo has grabbed a chair and climbed to the ring apron. He smacks Liger. Referee Chad Patton calls for the bell and disqualifies the Champions. Wippleman and his men leave the area as Liger and Dragon stand in the middle of the ring. Winners-The Pearls of the Orient (Disqualification)

Windham, you got me, I let my guard down! It won’t happen again! I want you in the ring, one on one! You want this title, come get it! I’ve been in this business for a long time, and I’m as mad as I’ve been in my life! I want a piece of you, as soon as possible!” Marshall, “Stan Hansen and Barry Windham may be the most intense rivalry in all sports.

Gentlemen, you have been very successful in ACW, and this is your big chance.” Furnas, “Dan and I feel we’ve been overlooked in ACW, but we’re both competitors and we don’t complain. Now we have the big chance, it’s going to be our night.” Kroffat, “We respect Kawada and Taue, but we can beat them! And Wippleman, Onoo, if you stick your noses into things, like you did earlier, we’re going to take care of you as well! The Can-Am Express plan on taking the titles, tonight!” Marshall, “The Unified Tag Team Title match is next.” Match #8
Unified Tag Team Championship
The Holy Demon Army w/Inspector Wippleman and Sonny Onoo vs. The Can-Am ExpressThe Point Theater crowd is on the edge of their seats. Wippleman’s Japanese team stand confidently in there corner and the Challengers wait in theirs. Referee Teddy Long signals for the bell and it’s Taue vs. Furnas. The two big men match power moves and there is nothing to choose between the two. Furnas whips Taue into the ropes and drops him with a shoulder tackle. The former Tennessee Volunteer fullback sends the former sumo wrestler to the mat. Furnas goes for the cover, but Taue kicks out. Wippleman and Onoo go crazy at ringside. Both teams tag in and out and the pace of the match increases. Both teams have their moments. Taue is able to land the chokeslam and pin on Kroffat and gets the three count. Wippleman, Onoo and his men celebrate. Furnas grabs the mike. Furnas, “Wippleman, we give your team a lot of credit, but we came this close to taking those titles!

Ireland has been good to all of us.” Zbyszko, “The only bad things is Wippleman and his boys still have their titles, but I think that may not last very long.” Tenay, “We are half way through our tour and we still have two big weeks left.

He visits the Titanic Dry Dock, Falls Road, Belfast Castle and other sights. Finlay, “Belfast is my home. It’s a beautiful city with a troubled history. If you grow up here you learn two things, first of all ‘Pride’ and you also learn to fight. Chono, Wippleman, you don’t understand life in the ‘Six Counties’. No one does unless you are from here. You are coming to my hometown and you are not leaving with that title. I will give every ounce of life I have in my body, I will be the Champion!”  Tenay, “Finlay is ready, Next week will be one of the most tension packed nights in ACW history, don’t miss it!” Match #2

Many people seem to think it’s a matter of time before he regains the title.” Rude, “What are you talking about? I beat that redskin on July 4 and he hasn’t been able to get the title back and it’s not happening tonight. Marshall, you’ve known me for a long time, if you think Wolf Hawkfield can beat me, you’re more stupid than I ever thought you were!” Marshall, “With that said, let’s hear form Wolf Hawkfield.” Zbyszko is with Wolf Hawkfield. Zbyszko, “With me is the former American Television Champion, Wolf Hawkfield. Wolf, Rude is pretty cocky and doesn’t think you can take back the title. I think you can. What’s going to happen tonight?” Hawkfield, “Mr. Rude talks a lot, but he can back it up. No one will dispute that. I was beaten, fair and square, in a tough battle in New York. I have had a few rematches. Rick Rude has not defeated me, but I have not been able to regain the title. Mr. Rude is very clever, and he has many ways to hold onto the title. I predict tonight is the night I regain the title. I am going to the ring with that in mind.” Zbyszko, “I believe in this man. Let’s see the Television Title match next.” Match # 5

He is a former NCAA wrestling champion and huge man. Are you ready for this?” Severn, “Marshall, I’m not one to come on TV and yell and scream. I do my talking in the ring. I know how good Albright is and I know he is big and powerful. I’m going to the ring to take care of business and I will do just that.” Marshall, “’The Beast’ is focused. He takes on Gary Albright when we return.” Match #7
Gary Albright vs. Dan “The Beast” SevernThe bell rings and Albright bull rushes Severn. The Beast steps up and two big bulls crash into one another. The match is a physical brawl.

Marshall, “Inspector Wippleman, you are always at the center of the action in ACW, and in one week’s time, you, and Masahiro Chono, will be involved in one of the biggest matches in the history of ACW. Cnono defends the International Heavyweight Title against Dave Finlay in Finlay’s hometown Belfast. What a night it’s going to be.” Wippleman, “You know Marshall, one of my great joys in life is correcting fools like you, and that’s what I’m going to do. It’s not going to be a great night, it going to be a walk in the park. Chono has been in intense training and is taking on the top names in wrestling, tonight he faces Johnny Smith, and what has Finlay been doing? Sightseeing! He’s taking in the sights in this cesspool of country! A loser like Finlay fits in this potato patch, he’s a loser, just like all other Irishmen! Chono will destroy him, if he shows up!” Marshall, “Easy for you to say when you know Mr. Finlay is not here tonight, but he will be in Belfast. Now it’s Chono vs. Smith.” Match #8

Chono is frustrated and takes to the floor to confer with Wippleman and Onoo. He returns to the ring and slows the pace of the match. This allows the Champion to use his hard hitting style. Smith puts up a great fight, but the Yakuza kick ends the match. Winner-Masahiro ChonoChono, Wippleman and Onoo celebrate in the ring. There is a commotion in the aisle and Dave Finlay walks to the announce desk. He takes the house mike. Finlay, “Chono, Wippleman, I am here and I heard everything you said. You’re trying to get me off my game, but it won’t work. Nothing’s going to happen tonight, but next week, at King’s Hall that title is mine.” Finlay tosses the mike on the desk and walks to the back. Tenay and Zbyszko close the show. Tenay, “That just ups the ante for next week. As was mentioned before, next week may be the most exciting show in ACW history. We will be at King’s Hall in Belfast, Northern Ireland. You will see two great tag team matches. In a non-title match, the American Tag Team Champions, the Quebecers, meet the Pearls of the Orient and in a six man tag team match, The Holy Demon Army, Kawada and Taue, team with Shinjiro Ohtani to face The Can-Am Express, Furnas and Kroffat, and Jun Akiyama. Those will be great, but the one everyone is talking about, Dave ‘Fit’ Finlay, in his hometown, takes on Masahiro Chono with the International Heavyweight Title. What a night Legend.”  Zbyszko, “Any night where old Harve can lose it all is a great night, I can’t wait.” Tenay, “Until next week, so long!” |

Belfast, Northern Ireland
8/24/95 Mike Tenay and Larry Zbyszko open the show. The Belfast crowd chants “Larry, Larry, Larry!” Zbyszko acknowledges the chants. Tenay, “Welcome to Belfast, the tension grows by the minute! With a tip of the cap to my old friend, Tony Schiavone, tonight might be the greatest night in ACW history! We have the main event of the century tonight. Dave Finlay, a native son of Belfast, challenges Masahiro Chono for the International Heavyweight Title. It will be one for the ages, but that’s not all. We have a non-title tag team match. The American Tag Team Champions, the Quebecers, take on the Pearls of the Orient. It seems Inspector Wippleman doesn’t want to put the titles on the line.” Zbyszko, “Looks like ole Harve doesn’t want to lose two titles in one night.” Tenay, “Maybe so. We also have an exciting six man tag team match featuring this team.” Barry Windham, Kendall Windham and Bob Orton walk out. Tenay, “Barry Windham, Kendall Windham and Bob Orton, maybe the most feared three men in wrestling, gentlemen Stan Hansen has place a big bull’s-eye on all three of you, especially, you, Barry Windham.” B. Windham, “That old fool? We’ve beaten him like a drum! The commission keeps cheating me out of the title, but my day will come, and it’s coming soon!” Tenay, “Well it’s not a title match, but a match is signed, in two weeks, for our show in Los Angeles. Barry, Kendall and Bob Orton will meet Stan Hansen, Justin Hawk Bradshaw and the Patriot, in a huge six man tag team match.” Windham, “Why don’t I get a title shot? I’ll answer that. It’s because Stan Hansen is yellow! We may just have to teach him another lesson, and it’ll be a painful one!” Tenay, “This is just one big match slated for next week. We will continue to update you throughout the show. Now let’s see Kendall Windham in action.” Match #1
Kendall Windham w/Barry Windham and Bob Orton def. Virgil, w/bulldog

“Hacksaw” Jim Duggan def. “Desperado” Joe Gomez, w/spear
Match #3
Tribal Nation def. David Taylor and The Colorado Kid, M. Youngblood w/Tomahawk chop vs. KidMarshall is with Justin Hawk Bradshaw. Marshall, “With me is Justin Hawk Bradshaw. Mr. Bradshaw, you have impressed many people in the past weeks in ACW. You’ve stepped right into the fire with Hansen, the Windhams and Orton. Now you and Hansen have added the Patriot to your team to take on those three in a six man tag match in two weeks in Los Angeles.” Bradshaw, “I may be young, but I’m not waiting my turn! I made a big mistake trusting those guys, and I paid for it, now they’re going to pay! I want to go to the top, and I want to make money and beating up those three will help me do that! Windham, you brought your worthless brother into this! He’s not man enough to beat me, just like you and Orton! This is going to be a war, and Hansen, the Patriot and I are going to inflict the damage!” Marshall, “Justin Hawk Bradshaw is making a name for himself. Let’s see him in the ring.” Match # 4
Justin Hawk Bradshaw def. Maunakea Mossman, w/clotheslineMarshall is with the Quebecers and Sonny Onoo. Inspector Wippleman is conspicuous by his absence. Marshall, “With me are Sonny Onoo and the Quebecers. Mr. Onoo, where is Inspector Wippleman?” Onoo, “Inspector with Chono, chon have very big match tonight. He beat up Finlay in hometown. Wippleman getting ready.” Marshall, “Well the Quebecers have a big match. They take on the Pearls of the Orient, albeit in a no-title match. Does Harvey trust you to take care of things?” Onoo, “Marshall, you disrespectful. Sonny Onoo is very smart man, know lots of wrestling. Quebecers win tonight, Sonny Onoo take care of that.” Marshall, “That’s what I’m afraid of. Mr. Onoo, let me ask you this, why is this a non-title match? Many people think Wippleman is worried that the Quebecers cannot beat the Liger and Dragon,” Onoo, “You wrong, Marshall, very, very wrong! Quebecers take care of business. They Champions, they prove it tonight.” Marshall, “O.K. I don’t trust Sonny Onoo, one bit.” Match #5
Non-Title Match
The Quebecers (American Tag Team Champions) w/Sonny Onoo vs. The Pearls of the OrientMost fans want this to be a title match. Inspector Wippleman pulled some strings to make sure the title is not at stake tonight. I still don’t think that will slow down the masked men. They are on a mission. The bell rings and the early moments belong to Jacques and the Quebecers. He takes the fight to the Ultimo Dragon and Sonny Onoo looks very confident at ringside. Both teams tag in and out and the action is very exciting. Liger catches Pierre in the Liger bomb and referee Chad Patton counts 1…2…3! The Pearls of the Orient win! Sonny Onoo is lived! The masked men are inches from the title! Winners-The Pearls of the Orient
Match #6
Tiger King def. The Renegade, w/Tiger suplexMarshall is with the Can-Am Express and Jun Akiyama. Marshall, “With me are Doug Furnas, Dan Kroffat and Jun Akiyama. Gentlemen, you are a fine team and the match with the Holy Demon Army and Shinjiro Ohtani would be a main event anywhere in the world. Are you ready for this?” Furnas, “First of all, you can’t ask for a better partner than Jun Akiyama. He is the best young wrestler in the business and Dan and are proud to have him in our corner. Now about the match, we know that Kawada and Taue are the best tag team in the world. The Unified Belts are the top of the mountain in wrestling and those two are the best. You throw in Ohtani and that makes them even tougher. We gave Kawada and Taue all they wanted last week and when we get another shot, Dan and I will take the titles.” Kroffat, “Just what Doug said. Jun is a great partner and you’re going to see something special tonight. Wippleman, you’re a weasel. You know we can beat your team, so you signed this six man. It doesn’t matter will get another shot, and like Doug said, we’ll take the Unified Titles!” Marshall, “I should tell you, we offered Inspector Wippleman and Sonny Onoo a chance to speak, but they declined.” Match #7
Six Man Tag Team Match
The Can-Am Express and Jun Akiyama vs. The Holy Demon Army and Shinjiro Ohtani w/Sonny OnooOnce again, Inspector Wippleman has chosen to stay in the back preparing Chono for the International Title match, so Sonny Onoo is at ringside. The bell rings and its Akira Taue vs. Dan Kroffat. They pound away at one another and the ex-sumo Taue takes over. Kroffat is in trouble. The Canadian is able to escape and tag in Doug Furnas. The former Tennessee fullback goes to work. He lands right and lefts. Taue staggers back and tags in Ohtani. The smaller Ohtani is able to use his speed to rally. He gains the advantage and tags in Toshiaki Kawada. “Dangerous K”, the Triple Crown Champion, steps into the ring. Furnas tags in Akiyama and “Blue Thunder” motions the Champion to “bring it on”. They lock up and the youngster holds his own. The match continues to go back and forth. All six men end up in the ring. Taue and Kroffat the legal men. In the confusion, Kroffat rolls up Taue and referee Jack Doane counts the fall. Kroffat has pinned Taue! Onoo and his men are stunned. Winners-The Can Am Express and Jun AkiyamaTenay and Zbyszko are seated at the announce table. Tenay, “We are moments away from our main event. Dave Finlay, a native of Belfast, challenges Masahiro Chono for the International Heavyweight Title. Here are taped Comments from Mr. Finlay and Inspector Wippleman.” We see Dave Finlay sitting in the locker room. Finlay, “Chono, Wippleman, you’re in my hometown, a town that has a rich history, both peaceful and violent. All of us who grew up in Belfast understand pain and violence. I will tell you this, tonight you will learn what pain and violence are! I’ve been in the sport for a long time, and I’ve won a lot of titles, but this is the most important one I’ve ever wrestled for. With God as my witness, I will take this title, or they will have to carry me out of King’s Hall! Chono, I’m coming for you!” We see Wippleman and Chono standing in a locker room. Wippleman, “Finlay, you drunken Irishman, you think you can beat Chono? That’s laughable. Chono is a descendent of the Samurai warriors of ancient Japan. I’m from Canada, the jewel of the Commonwealth, and you’re from Ireland, Northern Ireland, at that. You have about as much chance of winning tonight as Ireland does beating Canada at ice hockey, none at all. This interview is over! We’re tired of talking!” Tenay, “Interesting words from both men. Legend, what do you think?” Zbyyszko, “You know, I’d like to say Chono has no chance because of Wippleman, but Chono is one of the best. I hate Harvey, but that doesn’t mean Chono isn’t good. I’ll take Finlay, but its close.” Tenay, “Let’s take a moment to talk about next week. We will be back in the USA, in one of our favorite places, the Knickerbocker Arena in Albany, NY. We have a main event signed for that night. Wolf Hawkfield gets another shot at the Television Title. Rick Rude puts the belt on the line. Hawkfield has come so close, but Rude is still the Champion. Let’s see what happens in New York.” Zbyszko, “I can’t wait.” Match #8
International Heavyweight Championship
Masahiro Chono (Champion) w/Inspector Wippleman and Sonny Onoo vs. Dave “Fit” FinlayThe tension in King’s Hall is at an all time high. Finlay stands, stoically, in his corner, as does Chono. Wippleman and Onoo try to taunt the Irishman, but he does not acknowledge them. Referee Teddy Long calls for the bell and the match is on. Both men lock up and they both try several power moves. Neither man gains an edge and Finlay tries another approach. He takes Chono down and uses several quick mat wrestling moves. He gets a two count, but Chono kicks out. Wipplman and Onoo are very worried at ringside. The Champion seems worried. He goes to the roughhouse tactics, but Finlay is ready for that. Now we have a slugfest. Finlay staggers Chono. He grabs the Champion and gets him up in the reverse piledriver. He hits it and covers Chono. Long counts 1…2…3! Dave Finlay is the “International Champion”! Winner-Dave Finlay (New International Champion) Several friends and family members come to the ring to celebrate with Finlay. The show ends with green and orange confetti falling on the new champion. |

We also have several other top matches, Justin Hawk Bradshaw meets Johnny Ace, Vader takes on Dave Taylor and the Can-Am Express meet Mr. X and the Renegade. It looks good.” Zbyszko, “Rude’s cocky, but he can back it up. Hawkfield held the title for over a year, we know how good he is. This will be a great one.” Tenay, “Let’s go to the ring, ‘Gentleman’ Chris Adams and the Colorado Kid are waiting.” Match #1

Mr. Vader you remain undefeated in ACW…” Vader, “I can still can’t get a title shot, go ahead and say it! It looks like everyone is afraid of me, I thought real men wrestled in ACW!” Marshall, “There are many top wrestlers in ACW. You’ve been very successful, and I’m sure, if you continue, better competition will come in the future.” Vader, “If! If! What are you talking about Marshall! If I don’t get better competitions, I’m going to take it out on wrestlers, referees and announcers!” Marshall, “There will be no need for that, believe me.” Match # 3

Hacksaw, you’ve been here a while, you’ve been successful and you haven’t ducked anyone. Your career continues to move forward.” Duggan, “Hoooooo! Listen ‘Tough Guy’, old Hacksaw’s tough, everyone knows that, but the wrestlers here in ACW are tough, just like me. I’ll wrestle anyone at any time. Today’s it’s John Nord, he’s big and tough, and I’m going to love fighting him!” Marshall, “Jim Duggan vs. John Nord is next.” Match #5
“Hacksaw” Jim Duggan def. John Nord, w/spearMarshall is with Justin Hawk Bradshaw. Marshall, “With me is Justin Hawk Bradshaw. Mr. Bradshaw, everyone saw great potential in you and now you have proven to be one of the best young wrestlers in the business. You’ve battled the Windhams and Bob Orton and with the help of Stan Hansen, you have been successful. Tonight you take on the very capable Johnny Ace. You can’t take him lightly.” Bradshaw, “Look Marshall, I don’t take anyone lightly. I’m a Texan and a fighter, you don’t get tougher than that! Johnny Ace is good, but he’s a Californian. Who you going to bet on, a Texas, or a Californian?” Marshall, “I’m from Minnesota, I’m just glad there’s not three feet of snow on the ground. When we return it will be Bradshaw and Ace in action.” Match #6
Justin Hawk Bradshaw vs. Johnny AceMaybe Californians are tougher than Bradshaw thinks. Ace takes the fight to the big Texan and Bradshaw is in early trouble. Ace goes for the Ace crusher, but Bradshaw blocks it. He scoops up Ace and slams him. He covers the big blond, but referee Chad Patton’s count only reaches two. The next few minutes are a slugfest. Things turn towards Bradshaw. He sets the pump handle slam and covers Ace. This time Patton’s count reaches thee, a big win for Bradshaw. Winner-Justin Hawk Bradshaw

The Can-Am Express def. Charlie Norris and the Renegade, Kroffat w/sitout powerbomb vs. NorrisMarshall is with Wolf Hawkfield Marshall, “With me is the Challenger for tonight’s title match, Wolf Hawkfield. Mr. Hawkfield, this may be your last chance. You have come very close to regaining the Television Title from Rick Rude, but he seems to pull it out of the fire each time. What about tonight?” Hawkfield, “Rick Rude is a very good wrestler, and he’s not afraid to break the rules. I learned one thing growing up on Snow Mountain, nothing is easy and nothing is free. You must fight for everything in life and this is the perfect example of that. I held the title for a long time and I will regain it…TONIGHT!” Marshall, “Wolf Hawkfield is ready. Let’s go to Larry Zbyszko, who is with the Champion.” Zbyszko is with Rick Rude. Zbyszko, “I don’t know Rude, Wolf Hawkfield sounds ready, I don’t know if you can cheat you way out of this.” Rude, “Zbyszko, you’re a Polish joke. That drunken redskin runs his mouth and no one listen, but you. That tells me how stupid you are. Look at this body, it’s the best in wrestling and I’m going to take care of Hawkfield, once and for all!” Zbyszko, “Time will tell, Rude, time will tell. Let’s go back to Mike Tenay.” Tenay is seated at the announce table. Tenay, “Before we go to the ring, let’s talk a little bit about next week. We will be in Los Angeles and it’s going to be a great night. We have a huge announcement to make. That’s all I’m going to say right now, but you won’t want to miss it. Now about the in ring action, we have a great main event. How about a big six man tag team match for next week? Barry Windham, Kendall Windham and Bob Orton take on Stan Hansen, Justin Hawk Bradshaw and the Patriot. What a match! Well we’ve talked enough, let’s go to our main event.” Match #8
