ROSS: Welcome to ALL PRO WRESTLING! We're here at Chilhowee Park in Knoxville. Johnny Weaver, my friend Les Thatcher tells me this is the hotspot for wrestling in East Tennessee. The fans are probably wondering why you are dressed in your tights, boots, and ring jacket?
WEAVER: This week is the big battle royal for the TV Title! There's still some fight left in this old dog and I think I have one last run left in me! I'm going for it!
ROSS: Good for you! Folks, I'm supposed to be unbiased, but I'll be pulling for my buddy here! Good luck to you, Johnny!
WEAVER: Thanks, partner! I'll give it my best shot!
ROSS: I wouldn't bet against him! We have a match in the ring!
Hercules Hernandez(w/Percival Pringle III) vs. Goldie Rogers: Before Gary Michael Capetta can introduce the principals, Pringle snatches the microphone!
PP3: (holding up a roll of bills) This is 5 grand, ladies and gentlemen! It will be given to any human being who can break the full nelson of this man, Hercules Hernandez! $5,000.00! (to Hernandez's opponent) That includes you, ham and egger!
Hernandez dominates Rogers and gets the submission win via the full nelson.
ROSS: Ladies and gentlemen, one of the favorites to win today's battle royal is a young man out of Tampa, FL, who has won battle royals in Louisville and Orlando in recent weeks. His name is “Coyote" Scott Hall. Take a look!
VTR:
Music video showing Scott Hall in action in recent battle royals as well as Hall working out.

Terry Taylor vs. Mike Boyette(FA): Ross brags Taylor up on commentary and Terry looks great as he finishes Boyette with the flying forearm. Bob Caudle is waiting at ringside for the victorious Taylor...
CAUDLE: Fans, I know you're glad to see one of the young lions of our sport here in ALL PRO WRESTLING! Terry, what are your plans in APW?
TAYLOR: The first thing is that I'm in the Battle Royal here today! That TV Title is gonna be an important part of this new organization and if I can win it, I promise you and all of these great fans that I'll be a champion they can all be proud of. Then, there's Ric Flair's International Title. I know there's a long list of contenders, but I want to add my name to the list! I also hear they're having a tag team title tournament in Lexington in a few weeks. I have quite a few friends around here. Maybe one of them will be my partner. First things first, though...the battle royal! I know I'll be one of the smaller guys in there so I'll have to rely on speed, athleticism,and heart. I'm used to that, though, Bob Caudle! I promise to give it everything I've got, regardless.
CAUDLE: Fans, a great wrestler with a great attitude! I expect big things for Terry Taylor in the weeks to come!

Krusher Kruschev, Ivan & Nikita Koloff vs. Thomas Ivey(FA), Tommy Gilbert(FA), & Keith Larsen(FA):The Russians continue to look dominant here in APW. Nikita applies the cobra clutch and forces Ivey to submit. To send a message to Slaughter & Kernodle, Ivan applies the hold on Gilbert and Krushev applies it to Larsen after the match is over! The Russians are destroying these poor guys! Hold on! Here comes SGT.SLAUGHTER & DON KERNODLE!!! Slaughter hits the cannon on Kruschev! Kernodle applies the cobra to Ivan and jerks him off of Gilbert! Nikita has released the hold on Ivey and he and Sarge are nose to nose! Slaughter and Nikita are slugging it out in the center of the ring! Now, Kruschev is trying to help Nikita...BARRY WINDHAM HITS THE RING AND CUTS OFF KRUSCHEV!!! Kernodle dumps Ivan through the ropes! Slaughter dropkicks Nikita from the ring! Barry Windham, Sgt. Slaughter, & Don Kernodle are standing tall in the ring! The “USA” chant reverbrates through Chilhowee Park as the Soviets retreat!
COMMERCIAL
Harley Race vs. Tonga Kid: Tonga's high flying tactics gives Race fits early on. When Race sidesteps a springboard move from the Kid, the veteran takes over. Race gets the pin after a belly to belly suplex.
ROSS: We have the TV Title Battle Royal up next!
