The theme to TV show Magnum PI plays once again, and this vignette opens with two thugs menacing a little old lady . . .the next shot shows a Ferrari pulling up the hill with MAGNUM SCOTT HALL BEHIND THE WHEEL! He sees the assault, and rips off his sunglasses, and steps out of the car!
He walks up to the brigands and they unhand the old lady, and put their dukes up. Magnum rips off his Hawaiian shirt, and poses: AND THEY RUN AWAY!
In the next scene Magnum Scott Hall walks the old lady across the street, her paper bag of groceries in hand.
Final scene shows Magnum posing as a hot bikini Hawaiian chick grabs each arms as the screen reads:
MAGNUM SCOTT HALL: MAKING HIS WWA DEBUT THIS SUMMER!

Joel and Ripper are joined by GREG GAGNE!
Greg: “Joel Watts it is great to be in WWA, and already with just one week under this promotions belt, you can see the top wrestlers from around the world are converging on California and staking their claim. My strategy? Work hard, keep in shape, and just keep winning matches. I am a patient man, gentlemen, and believe you create your own luck in this sport, I never had to rely on anyone else for my success. My skill is my push, my gimmick if you will, and I will just keep plugging away, and when the time is right, everyone will see Greg Gagne wearing gold around this waist soon!
Joel: “Greg Gagne heads to the ring!

#1 Paul Jones joins Joel and Ripper with his ARMY: AMAZING MALENKO, RUSSIAN WAR MACHINE, AND DR D DAVID SCHULTZ!
Paul: “The wrestling world is still shuddering since last week these men, the Amazing Malenko and the Russian War Machine CRUSHED Tom Brandi and Vic Rossitani last week on national television.
“Amazing Malenko----a man from a family of acrobats from the Russian National Circus and made into a world class wrestler . . . and from the wilds of Siberia, a man I rescued from the worst of the Russian gulags, and man so psychologically damaged from the abuse and torture of the KGB that he feels no pain, and no remorse for his enemy! With these men, and THEIR COMRADE, Dr. D David Schultz, very soon the Paul Jones Army will RULE WRESTLING!
DOCTOR D GRABS PAUL JONE BY THE LAPELS! RUSSIAN WAR MACHINE AND MALENKO STEP UP BUT SCHULTZ SNARLS AT THEM AND AT JONES INSTRUCTION AND THEY BACK OFF!
Dr. D: “LET ME TELL YA SOMETHIN’, PAUL JONES! AH DON’T LIKE YEW AND AH AIN'T NO ONE'S 'COMRADE'! And ah don’t like bein’ associated with THESE two scumbag commie pinkos! But unlike these two commies, Paul Jones, ah am like you: ah am a CAPITALIST, AND LOVE MONEY! Paul Jones, the only reason ah am here, is ah dont care about these people ah only care about them PAYCHECKS you have comin’ mah way!
“I promise to hold up mah end, and ah got no choice because Dr David Schultz has been BANNED from every promotion on the planet here in 1988, but Paul Jones you just make sure these two commie jerks hold up theirs, and together we will win titles, and you will keep them paychecks coming!
Dr D lets go of Jones and storms to the ruing!

DR. D DAVID SCHULTZ w/Paul Jones DEF. SCOTT PUTSKI, 5:21 with swinging neckbreaker!
Paul Jones and his Army enters the ring to congratulate Dr D, but he just slips through the ropes and storms to the dressing room!
Joel: “Seems to already be tension between Dr D and the Army!
Ripper: “Don’t stir things up Joel Deaton, David Schultz has always been about one ideology: not communism, but the almighty dollar, and you know me Joe Watts: I support that ideology!
Joel: “Fans, don’t touch that dial, after this break: THE GUERRERROS IN THE RING!

MANDO + EDDIE GUERRERO w/Chavo Guererro V THUNDERFOOTS
Mando handles himself well, while young Eddie shows some hot moves, but gets himself in trouble often versus the veteran Thunderfoots, but at 9:00 Eddie finds himself trapping Thunderfoot 2 in a Gory Special for the submission and Chavo and Mando storm the ring, rub Eddies hair and shove him around in big brother delight with the win!
Joel: “The Guererros are victorious again, and look at the joy on the face of young Eddie! When we return, WWA COMMISSIONER EL TOPO!

Joel: “Well, fans it appears someone has gotten under Hercules Ayala’s skin!
Ripper: “Be that as it may, Watts, Hercules Ayala just got done destroying another strongman in the ring, with his bare hands! Ted Arcidi, your claim to be the Worlds Stongest Man is officially DISPUTED by one HERCULES AYALA!
Joel: “FANS, that remains to be seen as making his in ring debut next week on Championship Wrestling: TED ARCIDI, THE WORLDS STRONGEST MAN!
