McMahon, “Welcome to ‘Superstars’! Jesse, Hulk Hogan is here today!”
Ventura, “If you have a VCR, you better tape this program.”
McMahon, “Why is that Jesse?”
Ventura, “Andre the Giant has the ‘Hulkster’ in his sights, and he’s going to end Hogan’s career.”
McMahon, “A lot of people have tried, but Hulk Hogan always beats them.”
Ventura, “Not this time McMahon!”
McMahon, “Time will tell. We also have a great tag team main event. In a non-title match, Demolition, the WWF Tag Team Champions, meet the Young Stallions.”

Okerlund, “With me is Hulk Hogan. Hulkster, you have targeted Andre the Giant, and the big man has answered your challenge!”
Hogan, “You know something Gene Okerlund, Andre and I rode the roads together for year after year! We had each other's backs, but not any more! He turned his back on me! I didn’t do that to him! Now Andre, I am coming for you! Any place you go, I go! You’re gonna’ learn a lesson, the training, the prayers, the vitamins, the little Hulksters, we’re all coming for you, you big stinky giant!”
Okerlund, “The Hulkster is coming for the Giant!”

Hulk Hogan vs. Terry Gibbs
Gibbs and referee Dick Kroll wait in the ring. We hear,
Hulk Hogan comes down the aisle, and the Columbus crowd explodes. He rips off his t-shirt, and they get louder. The bell rings and we are underway. Gibbs is smart. He hits, and runs, and it works for a time. Finally, Hogan takes over. He slams Gibbs, and hits the leg drop for the win. Hogan celebrates, and the crowd gets even louder.

The Von Erich Brothers vs. Gary Royal and George South
The popular Texans have taken the WWF by storm. Kevin, the older of the two, starts against South. George is a skilled wrestler, but Kevin overwhelms him. He tags in Kerry, and he continues the attack. Royal tries his hand, but Kerry is too much. He uses the discus punch for the win.
Winners-The Von Erich Brothers
“Mean” Gene Okerlund is with Mr. Fuji and Demolition.
Okerlund, “With me are the WWF Tag Team Champion, and their manager, Mr. Fuji. Your men meet the Young Stallions today, but the Von Erich Brothers are waiting in the wings.”
Fuji, “Look at my Demolition, my Champions. No American team, not these Young Stallions, or these Texans can beat my team.”
Smash, “Listen to Master Fuji!! Stallions, Hart Foundation, Von Erichs, you don’t stand a chance!”
Ax, “Master Fuji is a genius! He has lead us to the titles, and he will lead us over these punks today, and Von Erichs, pack your bags, and head back to Texas! This is the big leagues!”
Okerlund, “The Champions are in our feature match.”

Match #6
Non-Title Match
Demolition (WWF Tag Team Champions) w/Mr. Fuji vs. The Young Stallions
The popular Roma and Powers take on the Champions. Fuji has Demolition on top of their games, but this will be a challenge. Powers and Smash open the contest. Jim looks very good, and matches Smash move for move. Powers goes for a sleeper, but Smash gets to the ropes. Referee Dave Hebner calls for the break. Smash goes on the attack, and now Powers is in trouble. He is able to tag in Roma. The muscular youngster from New York goes to work. He attacks Smash, and Smash tags in Ax. The veteran goes right after Roma. The match is fast paced, and Roma puts up a good fight, but Demolition uses Demolition decapitation for the win.
Winners-Demolition
Vince McMahon and Jesse Ventura close the show.
McMahon, “Jesse, Demolition wins, but there are many teams after them, including the Von Erich Brothers.”
Ventura, “There are a lot of great teams, but Demolition has Mr. Fuji. That’s the difference.”
McMahon, “Could be Jesse. Let’s talk about next week. We have an exciting feature match, Earthquake takes on Tony Atlas, that will be exciting! We will also see, Roddy Piper, the Hart Foundation, and Nikolai Volkoff. Join us then!”
Working on it now.
