MERCER: Welcome to World Class Championship Wrestling! This week, we will have an action packed six man tag team match as American Champion “Hot Stuff” Eddie Gilbert teams with the American Tag Team Champions The Nightmares! These three members of the First Family will take on Ron Garvin and the sensational team of Starfire & Scorpio! This is a preview of the upcoming Labor Day Star Wars coming up at the Tulsa Convention Center! Speaking of that amazing card, I'll have the complete lineup of matches for you here today! We'll also see Sid Vicious in a handicap match! Iceman Parsons will team up with Hacksaw Butch Reed! The young man who many believe should be Texas Champion, Brad Armstrong will be here! Devastaion, Inc.'s powerful Russian team of Nikolai Volkoff & Boris Zhukov will wrestle the Patriot & “Black Superman” Tony Atlas! You're in store for an action packed 60 minutes here this week from the world famous Sportatorium in downtown Dallas! Stay tuned!
Sid Vicious vs. Peter Flowers & Randy Barber: Barber & Flowers stand in the ring. We hear:
The massive Sid Vicious makes his way to the ring, high fiving fans as he comes. During the match, Buddy Roberts & Eric Embry of the Fabulous Blondes are spotted scouting Sid. It doesn't seem to bother the big man as he powerbombs Flowers, then chokeslams Barber on top of him, and then puts a foot on the pile of human debris for an easy pin!

CANNONBALL GRIZZLY: My name is Cannonball Grizzly! I've been on a world tour, making a name for myself as the best big man in wrestling! Right now, I'm on a European tour, but on Labor Day, I'll be in Tulsa, OK for Labor Day Star Wars! To be the best super heavyweight in the sport, I gotta beat the biggest and the baddest! Blackjack Mulligan, you are near the top of that list! If I beat you, my reputaion is made! I know you're a legend and I know how tough that you are! On Labor Day, the legend of Blackjack Mulligan comes to a tragic end! I'm the man who ends it! Cannonball Grizzly! You people remember that name!
Back to Bill Mercer in the announce position!

Tarras Bulba & Tom Stone wait with referee Bronko Lubich in the ring. We hear....
Iceman Parsons & “Hacksaw” Butch Reed vs. Tarras Bulba & Tom “Rocky” Stone: Iceman & Hacksaw are mighty impressive this week. Iceman pins Stone after the butt bump.
COMMERCIAL
The Patriot & “Black Superman” Tony Atlas vs. Boris Zhukov & Nikolai Volkoff (w/ Skandor Akbar): Referee Ralph Pulley has a tough job keeping order in this one. It looks like it is over when Atlas locks the sleeperhold on Zhukov and has the Russian fading fast! That's when Akbar waves in Big John Studd & Ken Patera! Studd, Patera, & the Russians deliver a beatdown to Atlas & Patriot and Pulley calls for the DQ! It looks bad for the faces until Iceman and Hacksaw hit the ring, swinging chairs! Devastaion, Inc. bails out and the good guys are left standing tall! Mercer reminds us that all of these men will be part of Star Wars!

Missy Hyatt leads the champions of the First Family, American Champ Eddie Gilbert & American Tag Champs The Nightmares to the ring as the fans show their displeasure. Then, the music changes...
Ronnie Garvin comes to the ring along with one of the hottest young teams in the country, Starfire & Scorpio! These are the men who will challenge for the titles at Labor Day Star Wars!
Ron Garvin, Scorpio, & Starfire vs. “Hot Stuff” Eddie Gilbert (w/ Missy Hyatt) & the Nightmares(Ken Wayne & Danny Davis): A Memphis style brawl electrifies the Sportatorium crowd. In the end, Missy's interference backfires and Garvin uses her Gucci bag to KO Eddie and get the pin! Bill Mercer points out that if Garvin pins “Hot Stuff” on Labor Day, we'll have a new champion!
MERCER: Next week, we have a great program emanating from the Will Rogers Coliseum! We'll have a great double Main Event with two great tag team matches:
BRAD ARMSTRONG & RAGIN BULL
