We have a rare treat for you tonight, a 20 man over the top ropes Battle Royal, with $10,000 going to the winner. Mr. Backlund, you might want to sneak into that one.” Backlund, “$10,000 means nothing to a man like me, of course, I could win it with ease, but I have no need to get involved.” Tenay, “Well 20 other guys will be glad to take your place. We will also see the American Heavyweight Champion, Stan Hansen, in action. He takes on Johnny Ace in a non-title match.

Johnny and I came here to beat people up and that’s just what we’ve done. Tonight we got those Batten Twins, they look alike now, and when we finish with them, they’ll have matching broken bones!” Grunge, But Rocco, which one’s which?” Rocco, “It don’t matter, they’re going to be beat up so bad.” Marshall, “Tonight it’s the Batten Twins, next week we go to Knoxville, TN and you take on two well known Southern wrestlers, Billy Travis and the legendary Austin Idol. What about those two?” Grunge, “We never heard of them, when they were on TV in the old days, Rocco and me were down at the riots picking up a TV.” Rocco, “Just two more guys that are going through a table!” Marshall, “Let’s see Public Enemy in the ring.” Match #3

These inbred hillbillies love their noise. This is far beneath a man of my intellect.” Tenay, “Watch it! I’ll send Pat Summit after you.” Backlund, “Who?” Tenay, “Never mind. Let’s talk about wrestling. We have several fantastic matches for you. The Bruise Brothers are back. We saw their unique debut last week. We will also see a non-title match featuring the man with the ‘Crown of the King’, Toshiaki Kawada, as he meets the exciting Eagle. The Eagle’s partner, the Patriot, meets Johnny Ace and Public Enemy is back in action. They take on two well-known Tennessee grapplers, Billy Travis and Austin Idol.

He has come close to taking this title, but I will defend it with my life.” Marshall, “Tonight you meet an up and coming young wrestler, the Colorado Kid. You can’t take him lightly.” Hawkfield, “No I can’t. I have held this title for a long time and I’ve kept it by being ready every night.

First of all, Patriot, you take on Johnny Ace, a very accomplished wrestler.” Patriot, “Lee, the Eagle and myself have had a lot of success, but neither of us has given up singles competition. Johnny Ace is a great wrestler and he will be a good match for me. I don’t take him lightly and I’m going to the ring to do my best.” Marshall, “This will be a great match. Now on to the Eagle, you meet Toshiaki Kawada, the man who holds the ‘Crown of the King’. It’s a non-title match, but a win over Kawada would put you in line for a title shot.” Eagle, “I know what could happen. If I win I’m on top of the world. Kawada is great, but he’s going to have to deal with the Eagle tonight and I’m ready to fly!” Marshall, “These two men are ready. Let’s see the Patriot and Johnny Ace.” Match #5
Johnny Ace vs. The PatriotThis is an even matchup. Both men have their chances and both score nearfalls. Ace goes for the Ace Crusher, but the masked man blocks it. He slams Ace and goes to the top rope and hits the Patriot Missile for the win. Winner-The Patriot Lee Marshall is seated in front of an American Championship Wrestling banner. Marshall, “Fans, what an exciting night of wrestling! ACW continues to impress. I’m here to tell you about the coming weeks in ACW. Next week we will be in the beautiful hills of Southeastern Ohio on the campus of Ohio University. The beautiful Convocation center will be the place. We have a great main event scheduled. The Unified Tag Team Titles will be on the line. The Champions, The Can-Am Express, will defend those titles against Mitsuharu Misawa and Kenta Kobashi. What a match-up! Then in two weeks, Christmas Night, we will be ‘Home for Christmas’! ACW returns to Columbus, OH and Battelle Hall. We have several big events scheduled. Most sports have an All-Star Game. The NFL has the Pro Bowl, Major League Baseball has the mid-summer classic, etc. Wrestling has not has something like that until now. ACW has scheduled a match called the ‘All Star Game’. Six men will be involved. Numbers will be drawn and two men will open the match. The other four men will be in each corner. Tag team rules will be used. Anyone can tag any of the other wrestlers. The winner will be the first man to score a pin fall, submission, count out, or disqualification. Now listen to the six men involved, Toshiaki Kawada, Vader, Stan Hansen, Steve Williams, Wolf Hawkfield and Bradshaw. Wow! What a lineup! You do not want to miss this one. That would be enough, but we have an even bigger event scheduled. ACW is approaching its’ second birthday. We have not had a President since the early days. On Christmas night we will change all that. ACW will name a President. There is a lot of speculation about who that will be.” Suddenly B’wana Wippleman comes out and sits down. Marshall, “Harvey, I mean B’wana, what are you doing here?” Wippleman, “Marshall, I heard you talking and I had to come out. ACW needs a President and they need one who is forward-thinking and brilliant, and I am just that man. I am offering my services to the this failing organization. I can save it! Put me in charge! I volunteer!” Marshall, “Well we are in Knoxville, but I don’t know if we want volunteers right now.” Wippleman, “Cure Marshall, really cute. You laugh, but I know the committee will choose me.” Marshall, “O.K. Harvey, O.K., B’wana. We will see what happens. Now let’s go to the ring for a great matchup, Shinjiro Ohtani vs. Alex Wright.” Match #6
Shinjior Ohtani vs. Alex WrightThis is a fast paced match with many holds and counter holds. Wright holds his own against the talented Ohtani until the Japanese uses the Northern Lights suplex for the win. Winner-Shinjiro OhtaniBacklund is with the Public Enemy. Backlund, “With me are two ragamuffins from the streets of Philadelphia, two uneducated dolts, Public Enemy.” Rock, “Watch it Backlund, we might just decide to put your fossilized carcass through a table.” Backlund, “If you venture to try that, it would not end happily for you and your fat friend.” Grunge, “Rocco, he called me fat, you distract him and I’ll go to the parking lot and hot wire his car.” Rock, “Shut up! Let’s get back to business. Backlund, we’re here to talk about fighting. Tonight we get those two washed up Southern boys, Idol and Travis. They’re about to find out what 90’s wrestling is all about!” Backlund, “This is enough, I’ve lost 20 IQ points just talking to these fools. Let’s go to Lee Marshall.” Marshall is with Austin Idol and Billy Travis. Marshall, “With me are two men who need no introduction in the state of Tennessee, Austin Idol and Billy Travis are two Southern legends. Gentlemen, the Public Enemy are unorthodox, but they are vicious.” Idol, “Billy and I have seen it all and these two are just two loudmouths from the ghetto. I’ve beaten people like that for 20 years, and tonight, Billy and I will do it again.” Marshall, “This will be a good one.” Match #7
The Public Enemy vs. Austin Idol and Billy TravisThe Southern veterans get off to a fast start. They tag in and out and Public Enemy is in early trouble. They pick up the aggressiveness and the match turns. They pound away at Travis and eventually hit the Drive By. Idol leaves the ring and allows Rocco to put Travis through a table with a moonsault. Winners-The Public EnemyMarshall is with Sonny Onoo and Toshiaki Kawada. Marshall, “With me are Sonny Onoo and Toshiaki Kawada. Mr. Onoo, you were successful earlier in the evening, but you have a challenge lest. Mr. Kawada, the man who holds the ‘Crown of the King’, meets the Eagle in a non-title match. The masked man is very talented.” Onoo, “Eagle, American wrestler, we fear no American, Americans weak, not like strong Japanese wrestler. American wrestlers like American businessmen, stupid and lazy, Kawada finish masked man off with ease, with ease!” Marshall, “Well I doubt that, but I want to talk about Vader. He’s an American and he wants the ‘Crown’. He has come very close to beating Mr. Kawada.” Onoo, “No, not close at all, not close! Vader big fat, lazy American wrestler, he not beat Kawada, no way!” Marshall, “I think you are selling Mr. Vader short.” Onoo, “No, no, no, fat, lazy, stupid American, he not beat Kawada!” Marshall, “That’s your opinion. Now let’s see Kawada and the Eagle.” Match #8
Non-Title Match
Toshiaki Kawada (Crown of the King) w/Sonny Onoo vs. The EagleThe masked man is very sharp. Kawada is confused and Onoo is angry. Kawada may have taken the Eagle lightly, but that doesn’t last long. He rallies and lands the Kawada kick for the win. Winner-Toshiaki Kawada Tenay, “Mr. Backlund, another night of top flight ACW action.” Backlund, “Made even better by my brilliant and insightful commentary.” Tenay, “Sure, remember next week, the Unified Tag Team Titles are on the line, the Can-Am Express vs. Mitsuharu Misawa and Kenta Kobashi. Don’t miss it!” |

It’s great to be here. I come with big news.” Tenay, “Get right to it. I’ve learned that when you have something to say, it’s worth listening to.” Watanabe, “I’ll get right to the point. ACW and All-Japan have brought All Japan Womens Wrestling back into the fold. The ‘Red Belt’ and the WWWA Tag Team Titles are back!” Tenay, “That is fantastic news! We have missed this aspect of wrestling.” Watanabe, “Akira Hokuto still holds the ‘Red Belt’, and LCO holds the WWWA Tag Team Titles and they will be here tonight!” Tenay, “That’s right! Our first match tonight is a 10 Woman, Over the Top Rope Battle Royal, and it’s up next.

I've played in All Star games before, but nothing like this. Steve Williams will be there, so will Kawada, Vader, Bradshaw and Hawkfield. They're all good, but I'm better. I'll back it up on Christmas, it won't be easy, but I've never tried to do things the easy way! Williams, I want all of the, but you're the one I want the most!

Vader will be there, and Kawada is in his sights.” Onoo, “Kawada know Vader, he is not afraid of big, fat, American. Vader like all Americans, fat, loud, but cowards, Vader fears Kawada. He knows the Kawada Kick is the most dangerous move in wrestling. When Kawada finish with Vader on Christmas, he no want more matches, he quit and hide!” Marshall, “I don't really think that's true.” Onoo, “Of course it is, Vader coward, like all Americans, we know that.” Marshall, “I think, on Christmas night, we will see Mr. Vader show he is far from a coward.

It's like you said, we've met before and it's been dead even. This will not be easy, when you are the Champions, you get the best from everyone.” Kroffat, “Bring on the best! Doug and I have been the Champions for several months and we won't give it up without a fight, you can count on that. Misawa and Kobashi may be the best tag team in the world, but they're no the Champions, we are. That means they have to beat up, and I don't think they can do.

Tenay “Mr. Backlund, you seem very quiet tonight.” Backlund, “I am keeping my eyes open. In this part of Appalachia, a man such as myself, is not safe. They think, since my IQ is so high, and I can speak in complete sentences, that I am a threat to their way of life. If I let my guard down, Cousin Jethro will kidnap me and lock me in the root cellar. This place would prove Darwin wrong. There is no way the residents of Athens, OH evolved from a lower species, there is no lower species!” Tenay, “I guess Mr. Backlund doesn't like it here, and I heard Ohio University was going to bestow an honorary degree upon you.” Backlund, “From this place, you must be insane! If you can write your name in crayon, and only make two, or three mistakes, you can get a Ph. D. from this place!” Tenay, “Let's move on. I want to talk about the coming days in ACW. Next Tuesday is Christmas and we will be 'Home for Christmas'. ACW was born in Columbus, OH and we are going back home. We will be at the Ohio Center in the beautiful Battelle Hall. The wrestling will be fantastic. We have told you about the 'All Star Game Match', six top stars will compete in an every man for himself tag team match. Stan Hansen, Steve Williams, Toshiaki Kawada, Vader, Wolf Hawkfield and Bradshaw will enter the ring. Only on man will walk out victorious. We also have big news in the offices of ACW. We will name a President that night. The word is Harvey, I mean B'Wana, Wippleman has gone ahead to prepare for the announcement. I don't know if that is a good idea, or not. Mr. Backlund, many have suggested you for President. What do you think?” Backlund, “If I were to be named President, ACW would claim its' rightful place in the hierarchy of the wrestling world. I would take us to heights unimagined in the minds of mere mortals like yourself.” Tenay, “I can't wait to see that. Everyone is closed mouths. There are many rumors, but no one knows for sure what is happening. We have one more big announcement. We will see one of the legends of wrestling in the ring next week. Giant Baba will be in action. He is a former World Champion and it will be a treat to see him in action. We have talked enough. Let's go to the ring for our tag team title match.” Match #8
Unified Tag Team Championship
The Can-Am Express (Champions) vs. Mitsuharu Misawa and Kenta Kobashi
Misawa wears his traditional green attire to the ring. The Convocation Center has green in every corner, is that an omen? The bell rings the action starts out fast and furious. No feeling out process here. It's Kobashi and Doug Furnas to begin the show. Furnas uses power moves to control the early action. The Champions brought their “A Game” tonight. Furnas goes for a cover, but it's much too early. Kobashi kicks out. Furnas tags in his Canadian partner, and Dan Kroffat picks up where Furnas left off. Kobashi needs to tag in Misawa. Kobashi frees himself and tags Misaaw. The former “Triple Crown Champion” goes to work. Now the momentum switches to the Challengers. Misawa pounds away with his “Rolling Elbows” and Kroffat is in trouble. The match continues in this hard-hitting manner. Kobashi grabs Furnas and hits the Brainbuster. He covers Furnas and referee Teddy Long counts 1...2...3! Misawa and Kobashi win the Unified Titles! Furnas and Kroffat hand the titles to the new Champions. The two teams shake hands the program ends with Misawa and Kobashi standing in the ring with their newly won titles. Winners-Mitsuahru Misawa and Kenta Kobashi (New Unified Tag Team Champions)

 “ACW Live!”
Battelle Hall
Columbus, OH
12/25/95 Mike Tenay and Bob Backlund open the show. Tenay “Merry Christmas and Welcome to the birthplace of 'ACW', Columbus, OH! I hope your presents are all opened and you got what you wanted. We are here at Battelle Hall and the crowd is on the edge of their seats. We have a huge show for you tonight. You will see Giant Baba in action, we have the 'All Star Game' later in the program and we will name the new President of ACW. All that is gigantic news, but we have something else to talk about first. The American Tag Team Titles have been held by the 'Pearls of the Orient', Jushin Liger and Ultimo Dragon. I say had been held, because apparently, they are no longer the Champions.” Backlund, “Hold on! You're telling me we lost the tag team champions, how did that happen? Those two circus clowns would stick out anywhere, even on Halloween!” Tenay, “Let me finish. ACW has an open door that swings open both ways. Wrestlers from other organizations are welcome to come to ACW and wrestle and we allow our wrestlers to go elsewhere and wrestle. The Pearls of the Orient went to Japan on tour and took the titles with them. They appeared on All-Japan shows, New Japan Shows and several independent shows. They wrestled on an independent show in Northern Japan. They were involved in a very controversial decision. There were no cameras, or journalists at the show. After the show, Liger and Dragon informed ACW that they would be moving on to another wrestling organization. This is very common in wrestling, but here's what is confusing. They did not return the titles and apparently do not have the titles. This is very confusing. Our new President will have to deal with this situation. We will keep a close eye on this situation.” Backlund, “Those two idiots stole our titles.” Tenay, “I don't think so. Let's go to the ring and see the Giant Baba in action.”  Match #1The Great Kabuki, John Tatum and Jack Victory wait in the ring. Lee Marshall introduces Giant Baba who comes out on the ramp. Marshall introduces the second man, The Missing Link. Link comes out and stomps around. Marshall introduces the third man, George 'The Animal' Steele. All three men charge the ring. This is a brawl. Steele and the Link are as wild as ever. Kabuki fights them blow for blow. The end comes when Baba lands several chops to Tatum and he goes down. Baba covers him and referee Chad Patton counts the fall. Winners-Giant Baba, Missing Link and George Steele
Match #2
Jun Akiyama def. Jimmy Snuka, w/Blue Thunder DriverTommy Watanabe is with Tenay and Backlund. Tenay, “With us is Japanese wrestling expert Tommy Watanabe. Tommy the women are back.

Akira Hokuto, the WWWA Champion takes on Chaparrita ASARI and then the WWWA Tag Team Champions, Las Cachorras Orientales, take on Velvet McIntyre and Reggie Bennett.” Watanabe, “All Japan Womens Wrestling is one of the most popular wrestling organizations in the world, male, or female. Hokuto, Mita and Shimoda are three of the best in the business, this will be an exciting night.” Tenay, “Let's get right to the ring.” Match #3
Non-Title Match
Akira Hokuto (WWWA Champion) vs. Chaparrita ASARIThe smaller ASARI takes the fight to the Champion. Her high-flying styles excites the Columbus crowd. The “Dangerous Queen” recovers and ASARI is no match for the Champion. Hokuto hits the Northern Lights Bomb for the win. Winner-Akira Hokuto

Tenay, “What a Christmas night for you fans and we have even more to come. Mr. Backlund, how was your Christmas?” Backlund, “I received gifts from all over the world. It will be weeks until I open them all. For a man like myself Christmas is just another day. I have everything I want, none of the peon wrestling fans can give anything. Their feeble attempts to placate me are laughable.” Tenay, “Thank you, Mr. Scrooge. Now back to ACW. Like last year, ACW will present a special New Year's Eve program. We will be at the Nutter Center on the campus of Wright State University in Dayton, OH. We will be on the air at 11:00 PM and will ring in the new year at midnight. We have two big matches signed so far. We have an exciting six woman tag team match. Las Cachorras Orientales, Etusko Mita and Mima Shimoda, team with Akira Hokuto to take on the Mexican threesome of La Felina, La Diabloica and Lady Apache. That will be an exciting match. We also have a huge title match. Stan Hansen will defend the American Heavyweight Title against Steve 'Dr. Death' Williams. Those two will be involved in our main event tonight, and the match next Monday will be a fantastic way to ring out 1995.” Backlund, “And usher in 1996, the 'Year of Mr. Backlund!'” Tenay, “We are all waiting with baited breath for that. Now let's go to the ring for exciting tag team action.” Match #5
The Bruise Brothers vs. Kamala and Kamala II w/B'Wanna WipplemanWippleman takes the mike from Lee Marshall. Wippleman, “Look you two big, inbred, rednecks, later tonight I'm going to be named the President of ACW. When that happens, I'm going to fire people like you, that is, if there is anything left of you after my two monsters get finished with you!” The Bruise Brothers attack and the Kamalas are ready.

Tenay, “Fans, I can't tell you how excited I am about our upcoming match. 'The All Star Game' is one of the greatest ideas ever developed. We are putting six on the top names in the sport in the ring at one time, every man for himself. This will be a match that will be talked about for sometime. Let's here from each combatant.” Vader, “Kawada, I'm going through four other men to get to you! I want the 'Crown' and I'm going to tear you apart and take the title!” Hansen, “Williams, you Oklahoma punk! You just don't get it! I'm the Champion and I'm going to stay that way! After I finish with you tonight, there's not going to much left and what ever is left, I'll finish on New Year's Eve, it'll be all over!” Hawkfield, “I have spent my life seeking challenges from Snow Mountain to the wrestling ring. Tonight may be the challenge of my lie, I embrace it and will fight with every ounce of strength in my body.” Bradshaw, “Texans like to fight, and I'm a Texan through and through! Hawkfield, I'm coning for you, be ready!” Onoo, “Kawada ready to destroy, Vader we finish you tonight, it all over, all over!” Williams, “Five on one, I like the odds, for me! Hansen, I'm taking the title on New Years's Eve, I'm going to give you a preview tonight!” Tenay, “It's time for the 'All Star Game'.” Match #8
All Star GameParticipants-Vader, Toshiaki Kawada w/Sonny Onoo, Stan Hansen, Steve “Dr. Death” Williams, Wolf Hawkfield and BradshawNumbers have been drawn in the back and Stan Hansen and Bradshaw start in the ring. These two have teamed together in the past, but that doesn't stop them from pounding away at each other. Hansen gets the better of things and Bradshaw tags in Williams, The fans are waiting for this one. They both throw everything they have and neither man takes a backwards step. This portion of the match is even and Hansen tags in Hawkfield. The TV Champion is very impressive and Williams tags in Kawada. The holder of “Crown of the King” works over the big Canadian. Hawkfield tags in Vader and now we have a matchup of the hunter and the hunted. Referee Teddy Long has done a very good job controlling the action, but finally things break down. All six men go at it. In the chaos, Vader slams Kawada and goes to the second rope for the Vader Bomb. He hits it and Long counts the fall. Vader has won! Sonny Onoo is outraged. Kawada is stunned. Winner-Vader Tenay and Backlund are seated at the desk. Tenay, “What a match! Vader picks up a hug win. Mr. Backlund, how about that?” Backlund, “A match that would not be in the top 50 matches I have wrestled. I would have beaten all six men in less than five minutes.” Tenay, “Maybe we should schedule another one. Now let's move on to the big announcement. We are about to name a new President of ACW. Mr. Backlund, many have guessed you might be the choice.” Backlund, “That's right, 'the choice'. If they choose me the sky is the limit for ACW. I will take this company to the top! Tenay, “Instead of talking about it, let's go to Lee Marshall for the announcement.” Marshall walks out on the ramp. Marshall, “ACW has not had a President for over a year. It's time for the big announcement.” B'Wanna Wippleman walks on stage. Marshall, “Wippleman, what are you doing?” Wippleman, “I wanted to save you the time and energy of announcing me. I came to claim my rightful place on top of ACW. I would like to thank all the little people who made this possible, I'd like to, but I can't. I did this all myself...” Marshall, “Stop! I have the name right here. The new President of ACW is …........Larry Zbyszko!”  Zbyszko walks out and shakes hands with Marshall. He turns to Wippleman and Harvey is terrified. Zbyszko, “Harve, glad to see you. I haven't talked to you since your goons jumped me from behind. Don't worry, I'm the President now. I'm not going to deck you. Stay here for a minute. I'll get to you later. Lee, first let me thank everyone for the confidence you have placed in me. I love ACW and I know 1996 can be our biggest year yet. I have some big plans. We have to sort out the American Tag Team situation and that will be the second thing I get to work on. Harvey, you're involved in my first act.” Wippleman, “Listen Zbyszko, you touch me and I'll sue you for everything you have!” Zbyszko, “I'm not going to hit you. We have a big show coming up on New Year's Eve. We have the womens six man tag team match, we have the American Heavyweight Championship match, but we need one more match. I watched your men out here earlier. The Kamalas are scary, but the Bruise Brothers didn't have a chance with you sticking your nose into things. I've signed a rematch for New Year's Eve, the Kamalas vs. the Brusie Brothers, and just so you don't ruin things, you are going to be handcuffed to these two men.” George Steele and the Missing Link run out. Wippleman sees them and panics. He runs off stage. Zbyszko begins to laugh.   Tenay, “Wow! Larry Zbyszko is the President and he's at work already. Fans, tune in to ESPN 2 at 11:00 PM on New Year's Eve. Let's ring in the New Year with ACW action!” |

Television BroadcastMike Tenay and Bob Backlund open the show. Larry Zbyszko is with them. Teany, “Welcome to ACW and I hope you are ready to ring in 1996!” Backlund, “The year of Mr. Backlund.” Teany, “O.K., the year of Mr. Backlund, but first let's talk to President Zbyszko. Mr. President, first of all, congratulations on your new job.” Zbyszko, “Thank you, ACW proved that they were very smart. They have a Polish President.” Tenay, “You have several issues on your plate. You have been in the job, only a few days, but they are big issues. First off, I love your decision about tonight's tag team match. B'Wanna Wippleman handcuffed to a couple of the true wildmen in pro wrestling, the Missing Lin and George 'The Animal' Steele. The fans are ready for Wippleman to get his, but now let's talk about the American Tag Team Championship. No one knows where the title belts are, or who has them.” Zbyszko, “Here's what we know. Liger and Dragon have left ACW. They do not have the title belts. We don't know who has them, so the titles aren't vacant.” Backlund, “If I had been chose President, this situation would have been remedied in a few minutes.” Tenay, “How so?” Backlund, “I'm not telling you. Let Zbyszko figure it out.” Zbyszko, “Thanks a lot. Bob! Here is what we are doing. We have suspended the American Tag Team Titles. Whoever has the physical titles may not defend them anywhere in the world. We will continue our investigation and solve this issue soon.” Tenay, “We will keep an eye on that situation. President Zbyszko has wasted no time in putting his stamp on things.” Backlund, “A folly by a Polish joke.” Tenay, “O.K. Let's talk about tonight. President Zbyszko, the women are back in ACW and the fans love it.” Zbyszko, “So do I. These girls are exciting. They do things in the ring that are unbelievable.” Tenay, “We will start off tonight with an exciting six woman tag team match, the Mexican contingent of La Diabolica, La Felina and Lady Apache will meet the team from Japan, the WWWA Tag Team Champions, Las Cachorras Orentales, Etsuko Mita and Mima Shimoda, team up with the WWWA Champion Akira Hokuto. When we return, that match will be in the ring and Tommy Watanabe will join us on the broadcast.” Match #1
Six Woman Tag Team Match
La Diabolica, La Felina and Lady Apache vs. Las Cachorras Orientales and Akira HokutoThe Mexican team starts like a house afire. They tag in and out and isolate Shimoda in their corner. Mima needs to make a tag. Finally she escapes and tags in Mita. Her LCO partner goes to work and has more success. She chops away at Lady Apache and now the Japanese team has the upper hand. The Mexican team does not give up, but the “Dangerous Queen” tags in and hits Lady Apache with the Northern Lights Bomb. Referee Jack Doane counts the fall. Winners-Las Cachorras Orientales and Akira HokutoLee Marshall is with the Bruise Brothers. Marshall, “With me are Ron and Don Harris, the Bruise Brothers. Gentlemen, you have a rematch with the Kamalas later. You met them on 'ACW Live!' and B'Wana Wippleman stuck his nose into things. Tonight that won't be a problem as President Zbyszko has ordered him handcuffed to both George 'The Animal' Steele and the Missing Link.” Ron, “That polecat stuck his nose into things, that's right. We'd like to get our hands on him, but we'll leave that to those two nuts.” Don, “Steele and Link look like guys we use to see every Saturday night at the 'Dew Drop Inn'. I like 'em.” Ron, “Those Kamalas are two big, wild dudes. Don and I are looking forward to fighting them, we don't back down from anyone, and Wippleman, if Steele and Link leave anything, come on and step in the ring and we'll teach you a lesson.” Marshall, “It should be noted that we tried to talk with 'B'Wana' Wippleman, but he refused to be interviewed. If old Harve doesn't want to talk, you know he is worried.” Match #2
The Brusie Brothers vs. The Kamalas w/B'Wana WipplemanWippleman handcuffed to George “The Animal” Steele and The Missing Link  Officials try to handcuff Wippleman, Harvey takes off running. The Link goes after him and tosses him over his shoulder like a sack of sugar. He brings him back and they get bot sets of handcuffs of the “B'Wana”. Steele and the Link then engage in a tug-o-war with Harvey in the middle. Wippleman is, to say the least, distraught. Meanwhile in the ring, the bell rings. Both huge teams throw everything they have at one another. Don Harris works over Kamala and the man from Uganda is in trouble. He looks over at Wippleman, but at this time, George Steele is staring into Harvey's face with his green tongue hanging out. Several times Wippleman struggles to his feet, only to be pulled back down by the two misfits. Things begin to swing in the Harris' way. Ron hits a running clothesline on Kamala II and covers him for the count. Referee Chad Patton counts the fall. Wippleman is released, but instead of helping the Kamalas, he runs up the ramp. The men from Africa follow. Steele and the Link climb into the ring and celebrate with the Bruise Brothers. Winners-The Bruise Brothers Steve “Dr. Death” Williams is with Bob Backlund. Backlund, “With me is an ignorant, uneducated native of Oklahoma. Tonight you take on someone just as stupid as you, Stan Hansen. I have little interest who wins this match. I know that I could defeat either one of you in record time. What do you have to say about that?” Williams, “Backlund, you've got the biggest mouth in wrestling. You were a world champion, but that was a long time ago. If I were you, I wouldn't want to make me, or Hansen mad.” Backlund, “Don't make me laugh. Both of you are worthless copies of a real man like myself. I have no more time for this.” Marshall is with Stan Hansen. Marshall, “ACW is ready to ring in the New Year with an American Heavyweight match. Mr. Hansen, you don't seem like one who really does a lot on New Year's Eve.” Hansen, “Most of the time my big, fat wife and I put the eight screaming kids to be and we open some Lone Stars and watch that stupid ball drop, not this year! Tonight I get to fight, and not only fight, but fight one of the best in Steve Williams! It's going to be a war, and I love it!” Marshall, “This will be a great one and if Mr. Hansen and Mr. Williams get things done in time, we will ring in 1996. Now let's go to the ring.” Match #3
American Heavyweight Championship
Stan Hansen (Champion) vs. Steve “Dr. Death” WilliamsEveryone thinks this will be a knock-down-drag-out affair, and they are correct. The early moments consist of both me standing toe to toe and slugging it out. Williams claims a slight edge and Hansen takes a step backwards. Dr. Death whips the Champion into the ropes and goes for a shoulder tackle. Hansen does not budge. Hansen takes over from there. He slams Williams and then puts the Texas cowboy boots to him. Stan goes for the cover, but Williams kicks out at two. Hansen argues with referee Teddy Long. The pace of the match picks up. Both men have their moments. Hansen whips Williams into the ropes and hits the Lariat. Williams goes down. Hansen covers him and Long counts the fall. Williams gets to his feet. He and Hansen stand nose to nose. Hansen extends him hand, and Williams reluctantly shakes it. Williams leaves the ring and Marshall joins the Champion. Winner-Stan HansenMarshall, “Great win Stan! We are a few minutes until midnight. 1995 has been a great year for us, but 1996 is going to be even better.”  Hansen, “1996 is going to be great and Stan Hansen is going to stay on top! HOOOOOOO!” Marshall, “Here comes the countdown! 10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Happy New ...” Instead of confetti and “Auld Lang Syne” the arena goes dark. Three words appear on the screen. W...A...RMarshall, “WAR?” The show ends with Marshall and Hansen looking confused. |
