Joel: “Welcome to Championship Wrestling and this fans is an hour you do NOT want to miss! You heard it last week fans: Maya Singh and Greg Gagne will wrestle, in this hour and the purse? A shot at the historic Americas heavyweight Championship held by Chavo Guererro, July 8 right here at the Olympic!
Ripper: “I have to admit, Joel Watts, Greg Gagne brings a world class resume and pedigree to the WWA, but is he willing to do what it takes to defeat the ruthless Maya Singh with Luna in his corner?
Joel: “Fans, Bugsy McGraw and Lazerton as well as the Russians all in action and we will be hearing from both teams as speculation swirls as to how the WWA World Tag Team Championship will be sorted out July 8 as well. Let’s go to the ring for our first match!

RUSSIAN WAR MACHINE + THE AMAZING MALENKO w/#1 Paul Jones v BART BATTEN + SCOTT PUTSKI
During the match #1 Paul Jones visits Joel and Ripper to add his comments:
“Did I hear El Topo last week say that he is going to decide how a WWA tag team champion will be crowned? Is he blind? Joel Watts, can’t he see he would save a lot of time and effort if he would simply award those title belts to this tag team? Look at the War Machine. He cannot be stopped, he feels no pain, has no remorse, and is in incredible condition. The Amazing Malenko is so fast that even the talented young men Putski and Batten can’t even see what he is going to do next he moves with the speed of light!
“Whatever the case might be, whatever roadblocks El Topo and the WWA may put up in front of us, nothing will stop the Russian War Machine and Amazing Malenko from winning the WWA World Tag team titles and taking them back to the Soviet Union, and when that happens, anyone that wants a title shot has to fly to Moscow!
Ripper: “That was expert analysis right there, Joel Watts!
Meanwhile in the ring, Putski and Batten, both no lightweights when it comes to being in shape, are able to put Machine through the paces in the ring in terms of strength, but the big masked man wears them down every time, allowing the smaller Malenko to take the musclebound youngsters apart piece by piece. The match ends with a Russian War Machine neck breaker on Bart Batten for the win at 6:59!

Joel: “Fans, once again it’s time to go 3000 mile West to the Hawaiian Islands and check in with Magnum Scott Hall!
We visit a beach where surfers are killing it on large waves. Everyone on the beach looks to the right; because here he comes with a surfboard:
MAGNUM SCOTT HALL!
The next scene is a rather distant shot of someone who appears to be Scott riding a pipeline on a giant wave.
The next scene is of MAGNUM SCOTT HALL WINNING A FIRST PLACE TROPHY! A hot bikini chick grabs each arm as Scott Hall poses and the screen reads:
MAGNUM SCOTT HALL MAKES HIS WWA DEBUT JULY 8 AT THE OLYMPIC!
Joel: “Fans you read it right: MAGNUM SCOTT HALL IS OFFICIALLY BOOKED AND NOW WE KNOW WHEN! Let’s to go to the ring for our TV Main Event.

WINNER EARNS TITLE SHOT V CHAVO GUERERRO JULY 8 FOR THE WWA AMERICAS TITLE
MAYA SINGH w/Luna V GREG GAGNE
Both scientific wrestlers, the match seems to be mostly clean scientific wrestling so far. Gagne keeps an eye on Luna, who so far is not interfering, just jawjacking with the crowd. Gagne gets a Indian Death Lock on Singh . . . .but fans, we have to go to a break!
Joel: “Our cameras are rolling-----if anything happens we will have it on tape delay: DO NOT TOUCH THAT DIAL!!!!

SINGH IS STILL IN THE DEATHLOCK: BUT GETS TO THE ROPES, GAGNE reluctantly breaks, and Gagne even has words with the ref.
The match continues, with Singh’s wheels visibly weakened. He slides out of the ring and Gagne gives chase, only to be blocked by Luna! This allows Singh to slap and rub his own thighs to get circulation through them, and rolls into the ring, and Gagne after having a few worlds with Luna rolls in and Singh is ready with his dukes and SLUGFEST BREAKS OUT!
WHAMMO! Gagne gets the better of it with a forearm uppercut on Singh, and Gagne goes for the Gagne sleeper, but Singh slips out of it and finally Gagne gets it on . . . SINGH has the ropes again!
Frustrated, Gagne kicks Singh, suplexes him, then covers him . . .the ref counts, BUT LOOK AT THIS GAGNE HAS HIS FEET ON THE ROPES:
2 . . .
LUNA THROWS GAGNES FEET OFF THE ROPOES, AND AT THE LAST SECOND SINGH KICKS OUT! Fans, Luna has no business interfering like that, but neither does Gagne putting his feet on the ropes for leverage!
Gagne, enraged, stands up and points an accusatory finger at Luna, allowing Singh time to recover. FOOLISH! Gagne turns around and Singh kicks him in the gut, puts him in a shoulder breaker, and hooks the leg:

Singh rolls out of the ring and heads over to the interview area, and as he gathers his breath, LOOK AT GAGNE! He grabs a fistful of referee Danny Davis’ shirt, other ref Mark Nulty has to come out to calm him down. Gagne leaves the ring, but does not leave the area until throwing a chair onto the floor in disgust!
Joel Watts and Ripper Savage are joined by the NEW #1 Contender for the WWA Amercias heavyweight title, MAY SINGH w Luna!

Maya: “Greg Gagne, do not leave in anger for you have no control over the power of the Great Abudin, the Tree with One Eye, or The Man on the Silver Mountain, for you have just felt the power of an unstoppable force, the same force that will also humble and destroy the entire Guererro Family, starting with the head of the snake, Chavo Guererro, JULY 8!!!!!!
