THE KOLOFFS & KRUSCHEV BURY SLAUGHTER IN THE RUSSIAN FLAG!!!! THIS IS THE ULTIMATE HUMILIATION FOR AMERICA'S HERO!
David Crockett is standing by with Sgt. Slaughter & Don Kernodle in the dressing room...
CROCKETT: Fans, last week, the Russians humiliated these men! I can't believe what the Koloffs and Kruschev did! They buried Sgt. Slaughter under the Russian flag! Sarge, Don, I've known you for a long time! I know you won't let this stand!
SLAUGHTER: Let me make a few points: Number one: When it was a one on one, straight up wrestling match, I kicked Barry Darsow's tail and pinned him one...two...three! Number two: Ivan Koloff, that commie maggot scum attacked Don Kernodle from behind with a chain!Number three: Nimrod nephew Nikita also attacked me FROM BEHIND! Number four: Before they could put me underneath that filthy, disgusting red rag they call a Russian flag, they had to whip me like a dog with that chain that Ivan Koloff carries around! I've spent most of my life in service to the United States of America! The greatest land on God's green earth! One day, when I die, they'll place an American flag on my casket! To have my body laid under a communist flag is a slap in the face! Russians, judgment day is coming! Kernodle and me will have our revenge, I promise you that! You're dismissed!
CROCKETT: Now, here are your hosts: Jim Ross & Johnny Weaver!
ROSS: We're here at the Eddie Graham Sports Stadium in Orlando, FL and our opening match is up in the ring!
Krusher Kruschev, Ivan & Nikita Koloff vs. Joel Deaton (FA), Mark Ragin (FA), & Mike Jackson(FA): Weaver and Ross spend most of the match talking about Slaughter gunning for the Russians. The Soviet trio looks unstoppable and Nikita pins Ragin after a Russian sickle.
COMMERCIAL
ROSS: Ladies and gentlemen, the best talent in the world is either in ALL PRO WRESTLING or on its way in! Here's a musical look at a young man who I think will make a big impact when he arrives...Terry Taylor!
WEAVER: A great scientific wrestler, Jim! One of the most exciting athletes in our sport today and I'm excited to see him in ALL PRO WRESTLING!
Hercules Hernandez(w/Percival Pringle III) vs. Thomas Ivey: Hercules overpowers Ivey and wins by forcing a submission to the full nelson.
COMMERCIAL
Mike Graham vs. Tony Falk: Mike Graham sees action in the arena that bears his father's name. Graham gives Falk a wresttling lesson and finishes him off with the figure four.
VTR:
James J. Dillon is seated behind an oak desk in an expensively furnished office.
DILLON: As I told you a few weeks ago on All Pro Wrestling's world premiere episode, I am putting together a band of outlaws. Men who are feared by other wrestlers and promoters the world over! These men will dominate All Pro Wrestling! You've seen Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen. Today, I introduce three men who will complete my Outlaws!
First, may I present “The Canadian Freight Train”, the lumberjack, JOS LEDUC!!!!

Footage of LeDuc doing feats of strength, “the blood oath”, and destroying various opponents.
DILLON: The awesome KING KONGA!!!!

Footage of Dr. D shooting beer bottles off of fence posts and tree stumps with a handgun and in ring footage of him brawling.
DILLON: Brody! Hansen! Konga! LeDuc!Dr. D! The most awesome group of wrestlers ever assembled by one manager! The Outlaws! We are the future of professional wrestling! Nobody can stand in our way! Not Flair! Not the Briscoes! Not the Windham/Mulligan clan! Not Valiant or Atlas! Certainly not Sgt, Slaughter! Nobody!
ROSS: No doubt about it, JJ Dillon has brought together an outstanding group of grapplers! Now, let's go to Gary Michael Cappetta to introduce the next match!
Jimmy Valiant, Tony Atlas, & Pistol Pez Whatley vs. Rick Renslow(FA), Snake Brown (FA), & Mike Boyette (FA): Valiant, Atlas, & Whatley get a huge ovation. This is an entertaining if somewhat one sided bout. Atlas gets the win for his team as he pins Brown after a press slam.

Bob Caudle is at ringside with three familiar figures...
CAUDLE: They are known as The Family: Blackjack Mulligan, his son Barry Windham, and Mike Rotundo. Guys, you've already had some run in with JJ Dillon and his Outlaws, but he just added three big, tough guys to that group!
MULLIGAN: If he thinks we're intimidated, he's got another thing coming! I've got these two young, stud athletes by my side and I'd go through the valley of the shadow of death with'em, Bob Caudle!
WINDHAM: Nobody is running roughshod over us! Especially not somebody on JJ Dillon's payroll! I'll tell you something else: They won't stand in the way of me getting my shot at Ric Flair and the International Championship!
CAUDLE: You men have a big match here today on TV against the Grappler, Iron Mike Sharpe, & Robert Fuller!
ROTUNDO: Those are three tough guys and we're not looking past them! I wrestled the Grappler a few weeks ago and he gave me a great match. JJ Dillon, watch that match and you'll see that we can handle tough competition!
MULLIGAN: Dillon, you polecat, I agree that you need to watch that match real close to see what we got for you and those high priced goons you're bringing in!
VTR:
Exotic Adrian Street and Percival Pringle III are standing on a stage with a band behind them, tuning their instruments.
PP3: Last week, I introduced the world to my Pringle Dynasty, including this man, the Exotic Adrian Street. I mentioned his musical ability along with his wrestling skills. Today, here on TV, he will perform a wonderful song that he composed himself! Next week, he'll make his wrestling debut and he'll beat that scruffy hippy Jimmy Valiant within an inch of his life!
STREET: Jimmy Valiant, you disgust me with your stringy hair and greasy beard. You are a typical street urchin. Now, I want you people to spit out your disgusting snuff, turn off your pathetic Conway Twitty records and Willie Nelson 8 tracks and listen to a real artist perform!
Street performs the following song...
Pringle applauds wildly and gives the Exotic One a big hug!
COMMERCIAL
Robert Fuller, the Grappler, & Iron Mike Sharpe are entering the ring as we come out of the break. Weaver and Ross put over these men as great wrestlers who have held titles all over the US and Canada. Then, we hear....
Here comes Blackjack Mulligan!
Barry Windham! Mike Rotundo!
The Family is here!
Robert Fuller(FA), The Grappler, & Iron Mike Sharpe vs. Mike Rotundo, Barry Windham, & Blackjack Mulligan: A hard hitting, action packed match. The heels manage to isolate Rotundo and work him over pretty good for awhile. Finally, Rotundo makes the hot tag to Barry Windham! Barry is a house afire! After a few minutes of doing the superman, Barry bulldogs the Grappler and scores the pin!
The cameras catch JJ Dillon watching from a corner of the arena. As soon as he realizes he's been spotted, Dillon waves the camera away and stalks out of the building!
ROSS: Dillon looks rather concerned! We'll be back next week with more great action with Valiant against Adrian Street in our big TV Main Event! Don't miss it!
