HERCULES AYALA w/Assassin v BRIAN ADAMS
Assassin joins the boys during the match: “Last week that man, Hercules Ayala was THIS close to beating Ted Arcidi in a tug of war and proving he is indeed the world’s strongest wrestler!
Eric: “I beg to differ Assassin, with all due respect it was YOUR man, Hercules Ayala who tried to attack Ted Arcidi, and then you and the Khans tried to hang him from the ropes! Maybe we should play the footage after this match.
Ripper: “No, there’s no need for that Eric Bischoff, I believe the Assassin!
Meanwhile, in the ring, tough match but Ayala gets the big Brian Adams in a swinging neckbreaker for the win at 6:30!
As Ayala heads over during the replay we are joined by WWA COMMISSIONER JOEL WATTS!
Joel: “You know Assassin, Hercules Ayala, I agree: the Tug of War was unresolved, because of YOUR actions. So we STILL don’t know who is the World’s Strongest Man. But that’s OK because next week at the Olympic we will: at the request of TED ARCIDI . . . . HAVE A:

Joel: “I can and I will! I suggest you get your man ready Assassin because there WILL BE A CHAIN MATCH BETWEEN TED ARCIDI AND HERCULES AYALA, NEXT WEEK SEPTEMBER 9 IN LOS ANGELES!

Eric and Ripper are joined by WWA AMERICAS CHAMPION CHAVO GUERRERO!!!
Eric announced they are now going to replay the closing moments of last weeks match featuring Chavo Guerrero and Mil Mascara versus Maya Singh and Iron Mike Sharpe, and Chavo is asked to commentate:
We are back and after a few moments of action Chavo has Maya Singh in an armbar, Singh tags to Sharpe who clotheslines Chavo, and throws him out of the ring!
Chavo: "Let me first state that I give credit where credit is due. Maya Singh is a very respected wrestler in this sport, and Iron Mike Sharpe is very dangerous, and they get the better of yours truly here, but look at Mil mascaras, what a great wrestler and tag team partner.
Mil runs in and is double teamed by Singh and Sharpe! Mil fights back valiantly, and knocks Singh out of the ring! Mil is cornered by Sharpe when who is this in other corner of the ring?
.
.
.
.
.
Jackie Guerrero?
Chavo: "Now let me tell the fans something. I have NO IDEA who this Jackie Guerrero is. He claims to be a member of my family, but I can assure you and I asked Eddie, Mando, Lazertron and my father, NONE of us have any idea who this cat it! I SWEAR IT! But look at what he does next . . . .
JACKIE CHARGES ACROSS THE RING TO FOREARM SMASH IRON MIKE SHARPE FROM BEHIND BUT SHARPE HEARS THE FOOTPRINTS, TURNS AROUND, SEES JACKIE, AND DUCKS:

JACKIE GUERERRO NAILS MIL MASCARAS!!!!
JACKIE GUERERRO NAILS MIL MASCARAS!!!!
JACKIE GUERERRO NAILS MIL MASCARAS!!!!
JACKIE SEES WHAT HE HAS DONE, AND LEAVES THE RING AND RUNS TO THE DRESSING ROOM!
Chavo: "Whoever this Jackie Guerrero is me and Mil did NOT need his help, and as you can see whatever he thought he was doing caused a great mess!
Meanwhile, the ref saw none of this, he was counting Chavo out, but Chavo makes it into the ring in the knick of time, and battles Iron Mike! Mil staggers to his tag rope, holding his head as Chavo gets a Gori Special on by Mike, and tags to Mil!
Chavo: "Again, as you can see, I thought Mil Mascaras and I were wrestling a great match, we formed a great team and victory seemed to be in our sights!
Mil stares at Chavo, then goes to the top rope, and waits for Sharpe to stagger to his feet:
SPRINGBOARD PRESS, AND A HOOK TO THE LEG AS CHAVO STOPS MAYA SINGH FROM BREAKING IT UP:
DAVIS COUNTS:

WINNERS, CHAVO GUERRERO AND MIL MASCARAS, 14:00
Chavo: "And there you see it, fans, despite our rivalry, our big Americas title match, me and Mil Mascaras were able to set all that aside and win a glorious victory for our fans against Maya Singh and Iron Mike Sharpe!
MIL AND CHAVO WIN AS THE HEELS COPPERFIELD, BUT WHAT IS THIS?
Chavo goes to raise hands with Mil, MASCARAS THROWS GUERREROS HAND DOWN AND SHOVES HIM, AND POINTS A FINGER IN JACKIE GUERREROS DIRECTION, THEN A WAG OF THE FINGER AT CHAVO, AND PROTESTS!!!
Chavo: "And now you can see it, fans, the misunderstanding, the confusion caused by this Jackie Guererro character, Mil Mascaras now shaking an accusing finger at me, calling me all kinds of terrible names, cursing me and my family for something I did not do!
CHAVO REMONSTRATES HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT MIL IS TALKING ABOUT, AND FANS, THE TWO WRESTLERS WHO WILL MAIN EVENT SEPTEMBER FOR THE AMERICAS TITLE ARE NOSE TO NOSE, BELLY TO BELLY, FACE TO FACE AS MONDO GUERERRO, EDDIE GUERRERO AND LAZERTRON ENTER THE RING TO BREAK THINGS UP! FANS, TENSIONS BETWEEN CHAVO GUERRERO AND MIL MASCARAS ARE AT AN ALL TIME HIGH WITH EVERYTHING AT STAKE IN TWO WEEKS IN LOS ANGELES! WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN!!!!
Chavo: "Thank goodness for my brothers, Mando, Eddie and Lazertron, because Eric Bischoff, if you knew the terrible things Mil Mascaras was saying to me, it would have been the title match right there and then, last week on Championship Wrestling!
"But let me tell you something Mil Mascaras, it is obvious you have a big problem with me. Next week, next Saturday night at the Olympic it will be just you and me, mano a mano, and we will settle it all next week 8pm belltime for the Americas championship!
Eric: "Chavo Guerrero thank you for your time and perspective, fans, two announcements later this hour we WILL hear from Mil Mascaras, and NEXT WEEK, RIGHT HERE on Championship Wrestling just hours become the monumental clash: CHAVO GUERERRO . . . MIL MASCARAS:

ROMERO BOYZ def CHEETAH KID + TERRY SNUKA, 3:44
Eric: “The Romero Boyz will wrestle Mike Davis and the now VERY controversial Jackie Guerrero next weekend at the Olympic!
“We heard from Chavo Guererro as it relates to last weeks incident and NEXT weeks Americas title match, now let’s hear from the challenger, the Man of 1000 Masks, MIL MASCARAS!
.
.
.
.
.
.
Mil is speaking on a microphone from a remote location:
“Chavo Guerrero, thanks to you sending in your family member Jackie Guerrero to deliberately injure me before our big title match, I now can see the plan. I can now see the conspiracy. Saturday night September 9, 8pm at the Olympic Auditorium the conspiracy will take place as not one, not as saw last week and again this week on Championship Wrestling TWO Guerrero Brothers, but how many more can I expect Saturday night, Chavo Guerrero?
“There is who . . . .Mando? Eddie? Lazertron? And how do I not know the old man, Gori will all come into the ring to make sure I do not win what is rightfully mine, the Americas Heavyweight championship?
“This is the game you have chosen, and if that is the way you want it, then be prepared, Chavo Guererro for Mil Mascaras has been in this game for many many years, and wears many many masks. You, and your family, will NOT like the mask I wear THIS COMING SATURDAY NIGHT, SEPTEMBER 9 AT THE OLYMPIC!
.
.
.
.
.
.
Eric: “Fans, clearly the tensions between Mil Mascaras and Chavo Guererro are at a BOILING POINT, AND THE HISTORIC AMERICAS TITLE IS AT THE CENTER OF IT! THE WEIGH IN, NEXT WEEK ON CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING!

MAGNUM SCOTT HALL, in his Hawaiian shirt and Detroit Tigers baseball cap joins the fellas, and puts his arm around Eric!
Hall: “HEY YO! I’m from Hawaii but I have to tell you, Eric—NOTHING beats California! The fans are great, the beaches are beautiful, and let me tell you something---these ladies? They sing about California girls for a reason!
“Things are looking up, Brau. Next week in LA I get to face Maya Singh? The man that took Chavo Guerrero to the limit? I see it this way, if I can win this match, it puts me one step closer to the WWA Americas title! I hope that match is against Chavo Guerrero because beating Chavo would be the greatest honor in my career, but if its Mil Mascaras, Mil Mascaras, I don’t know Brau, after last week I don’t know about you and while it would be an honor to beat you, I would also like to show you how to RESPECT the Guerrero family and these California and Arizona and Nevada wrestling fans.
Eric: “But don’t look past your opponent next week, Scott.
Scott: “No way, yo. None of that can take place until Magnum Scott Hall takes care of business against Maya Singh, September 9 at the Olympic in Los Angeles and Maya Singh?
SCOTT TAKES OFF HIS CAP, RIPS OFF HIS HAWAIIAN SHIRT AND SOME OF THE LADIES IN THE AUDIENCE SHRIEK!
“IM IN SHAPE, BRAU, AND WILL BE READY FOR YOU NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT!
Eric: “MAGNUM SCOTT HALL AND MAYA SINGH NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT! Is it too early to call it a .. . . .”Top Contenders Match”? WE SHALL SEE, TO THE RING!

Russian War Machine and Amazing Malenko, the WWA World Tag Team Champions, with manager Paul Jones join Eric and Ripper. Eric points out that DR D DAVID SCHULTZ IS NOT HERE!
Paul: “STOP CREATING PROBLEMS, ERIC BISCHOFF, DR D DAVID SCHULTZ is fine, and will SOUNDLY defeat Greg Gagne next week at the Olympic. And then there are those pesky Guerreros, you are right Ripper Savage, HOW many of them are there anyway? Not even Mil Mascaras can trust that litter anymore.
“But no worries for these men! We have defeated them once, and we will defeat them again, IF WWA officials can keep Mando and Eddie Guerrero's 50 or so brothers and sisters from jumping into the ring, which I’m not worried about since this man here, the Russian War Machine will swat those Human Mexican jumping beans down like flies!
Eric: “That was . . . disrespectful. Those men will defend the WWA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP against the Guerreros NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT THE OLYMPIC! Lets go to the ring!
