MAGNUM SCOTT HALL!
The theme from TV show Magnum PI plays as a Ferrari pulls up the road and driving it is SCOTT HALL! He pulls off his sunglasses and winks and the camera pans to two bikini clad blondes swooning. The next scene shows Scott Hall leg lifting weights on a gym on a beach. The final scene is of Magnum Scott Hall taking off his Hawaiian tee shirt and posing on a beach with the sun setting behind him, and then two blondes walking up and him grabbing each by the arms as the screen says:
MAGNUM SCOTT HALL: MAKING HIS WWA DEBUT THIS SUMMER!

THE AMAZING MALENKO +RUSSIAN WAR MACHINE w/ Paul Jones V TOM BRANDI + VIC ROSSITANI
Ripper: “Joe Watts I spent a few hours in Paul Jones secret training camp, and let me assure all the people out there this is a dangerous tag team and more than proud to prove their Soviet superiority to that of the puny, weakling Americans!
Joel: “You have the lumbering but powerful War Machine, and fans take a look at the speed and dexterity of the Amazing Malenko and this indeed is quite a display of differing styles of athleticism merging as one cohesive unit!
Brandi does his best to match power with power with Machine, and neither wrestler can match Malenkos speed and technical ability, and a Machine powerbomb on Rossitano followed by a submission armbar ends the match in 5:50!

“Next week on this very program, I have signed Khan and Iron Mike to a tag team match where they will destroy their opponents, and Hercules Ayala will wrestle a singles match where he will put the WWA on notice.
“Why do I say that? I have good information the WWA is about to sign someone that claims to be the World’s Strongest Man, Ted Arcidi, to wrestle here. Let me inform the WWA and Mr. Arcidi that indeed this man, the Caribbean Crippler, is the WORLD'S STRONGEST MAN, and if you, Mr. Arcidi, or anyone else wants to prove otherwise, my man, Hercules Ayala is here to prove otherwise!
Joel: “Fans, credible challenges from a credible manager, The Assassin, and we indeed will see all three of those men in action next week! A quick break, and we will be back to wrap this hour up-----don’t change that dial!
