ROSS: Welcome to ALL PRO WRESTLING! It's great to welcome our fans all across the country watching on our affiliates and now to fans nationwide viewing the Nashville Network!
WEAVER: Welcome aboard to all of you great folks watching on cable. We have some great wrestlers lined up here this week!
ROSS: The main man in our sport, International Champion “Nature Boy” Ric Flair is here this week. As well as APW's TV Champion Terry Taylor! Barry Windham is in action this week, too. If you've never seen this young man, you've missed out on one of the most exciting young athletes going today! We have some major announcements from ALL PRO WRESTLING President Jim Crockett. Coyote Scott Hall will be in action and Percival Pringle III will present Hercules Hernandez's $5,000 Full Nelson Challenge.
WEAVER: We have one of JJ Dillon's Outlaws in the ring to start us off this week!
ROSS: Let's get the announcements from Gary Michael Capetta....
“Dr. D” David Shults (w/JJ Dillon) vs. Buck “Rock n Roll” Zumhofe: With his boom box and fast paced style, Buck gets the fans behind him early on, but Dr. D is just too much and Shults gets the pinfall after an elbow smash off the top rope.
Terry Taylor vs. Carl Fergie: The newly crowned TV Champion puts on a clinic as he scores a non-title pin after a flying forearm.
CAUDLE: I'm joined by the newly crowned TV Champion Terry Taylor. Terry, congratulations on the big win! Now comes the hard part, defending the title!
TAYLOR: That's right, Bob! Next week, I'll have my first title defense! I plan on being a fighting champion, the kind of champ that the fans can be proud of!
CAUDLE: We have a video of the man who will challenge you next week. Let's take a look...

Percy Pringle is standing in front of several men with instruments.
PP3: Hello, wrestling fans, Percival Pringle III here. Next week, my man Exotic Adrian Street will have the opportunity of a lifetime! I've signed a TV Title match for the Exotic One! Terry Taylor, that title is coming to my Pringle Dynasty!
Street enters the scene.
STREET: Very true, Percy! This Terry Taylor is a lovely boy, but I'm afraid that I'll have to take that belt from him next week! Sweet Terry, I want you to listen to this wonderful song that I'm gonna dedicate to you, sweetie and imagine what I could do to you!(blows a kiss at the camera)
Street and his band perform this song:
Back to ringside....
CAUDLE: He's a bit odd, but he's tough, Terry!
TAYLOR: Very, very strange, Bob Caudle! I have to admit that Adrian Street gives me the creeps! I don't know exactly how I feel about a man blowing kisses at me! But his record speaks for itself: championships all over Europe and in the US. I think it will be a fantastic match!
CAUDLE: We're all looking forward to that, Terry! We'll be right back with some big announcements from Jim Crockett!

David Crockett is standing by with Jim Crockett in from of a huge poster that says GREAT AMERICAN BASH, JULY 4th, THE ORANGE BOWL, MIAMI, FL.
DAVID: I'm here with the President of ALL PRO WRESTLING, my brother, Jim Crockett!!!
JIM: David, I'm pleased to announce that ALL PRO WRESTLING will present an increible card called the Great American Bash. This card will celebrate our nation's birthday in one of the world's major venues! Country superstar Lee Greenwood will be there to open the show with “God Bless The USA” and from there, we'll have one of the greatest cards ever! “Nature Boy” Ric Flair has signed a contract and he will defend the International Championship against the Number One Contender!
DAVID: And who holds that position, Jimmy?
JIM: Recently, the APW Board of Directors met in special session in Nashville to decide that. Four members of the board voted for Bruiser Brody while the other four board members voted for Barry Windham! As APW President, I have the right to cast the tie breaking vote. I abstained from voting. In ALL PRO WRESTLING, we don't decide these things in a boardroom, we settle such matters in the ring! Bruiser Brody and Barry Windham will have a match to determine who wrestles Flair at the Great American Bash. I'm negotiating to have this match on television as soon as possible.
DAVID: Wow! I'm really excited about all of that, Jim! I understand that you also have some big news about ALL PRO WRESTLING's new affiliation with The nashville Network...
JIM: That's true, David. I want to say “hello” to all of the fans on the Nashville Network. This program is airing on that great cable network every Saturday at 10 p.m. I can now announce that we will also will be having a series of prime time Wrestling Spectaculars airing on the network. The first of these great live broadcasts will take place on Labor Day and will originate from one of wrestling's greatest arenas, the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis! We're currently working on putting together a great card for all of our fans!
DAVID: Right now, let's send it back to Jim Ross and Johnny Weaver!
Barry Windham vs. Doug Vines: Windham looks like a top contender as he gets a convincing win by pinning Vines after a bulldog.

Bob Caudle is at ringside with the champ...
CAUDLE: I'm standing beside the International Champion, the Nature Boy, Ric Flair! Champ, you will face Barry Windham or Bruiser Brody at the Orange Bowl on July 4th!
FLAIR: Bob Caudle, that's why I'm in this position, brother! Nobody else would have the guts of agreeing to walk into the Orange Bowl in front of tens of thousands of screaming wrestling fans and not even knowing which world class athlete I'll have to face!Bruiser Brody is like a wild animal! Bob Caudle, can you imagine walking into the jungle unarmed where there are lions and tigers and gorillas? That's what it's like walking into the ring with Brody! If Barry Windham happens to win, I'll have one of the greatest young wrestlers in the world today! You just saw what an impressive individual that he is! They are lined up all over the world wanting a shot at the International Heavyweight Title and it's come down to Windham and Brody, two of the best going today, but neither one of them is the Nature Boy, Bob! WOOOOOOOOOOOO! And since we're on the Nashville Network, it's only appropriate that I give a little performance, Bob Caudle! (singing) Oh, Lord. It's hard to be humble when you're perfect in so many ways! WOOOOOOOOOOO! Now, take a close look, Brody and Windham! It's time to go to school!
“Nature Boy” Ric Flair vs. Chris Carter: The International Champion puts on quite a show in this non-title bout. Carter is completely outclassed and the Nature Boy puts him away with the figure four.

Percival Pringle III is standing in the ring, holding a roll of currency for everybody to see....
For all of you who may have been living in a cave, I am Percival Pringle III and I am the head of the Pringle Dynasty! In my hand, I hold $5,000.00 in cold, hard cash! I realize that's more than some of you hillbillies make in a year! I will hand this money to any human being who can break the full nelson of this man, Hercules Hernandez!

PP3: Do we have a taker? Anybody with the guts to attempt to break the full nelson of Hercules Hernandez?
Mark Fleming, a very capable young athlete, enters the ring. He's very popular with folks in Virginia and the rest of the Mid-Atlantic states and gets a nice ovation.
After a brief converstaion with Pringle and Hernandez, Fleimg allows Hernandez to apply the full nelson! Fleming fights gamely, but cannot escape! Finally, Fleming concedes and Hercules drops him to the mat!
PP3: Thanks for playing! We do have consolation prizes for you!
Pringle and Hernandez put the boots to Fleming! This is disgraceful! He did nothing to deserve such mistreatment!
COMMERCIAL
“Coyote” Scott Hall vs. Charlie Fulton: Young Hall, who has been making a name for himself in battle royals recently, looks really impressive on this week's program. Hall gets a submission win using the full nelson and the announcers wonder if he's sending a message to Hercules Hernandez!
COMMERCIAL
ROSS: Johnny, we have a great lineup for our fans right here next week!
WEAVER: It was announced earlier: Terry Taylor defends the TV Title against the Exotic Adrian Street! I hate to say it, but after listening to Terry's interview with Bob earlier, I think Street may have a psychological edge in that match!
ROSS: Don't sell Terry short; he's a great wrestler. I agree that Street has him just a bit rattled. “The Boogie Woogie Man will wrestle against veteran Phil Hickerson. Coyote Scott Hall will be in action again. We'll also have another edition of Hercules Hernandez's Full Nelson Challenge!
CAUDLE: We also have the Russians in a six man tag team match. Jos LeDuc will be in action. We'll see Bruiser Brody and there's a real possibility that Jim Crockett will have the date for that match between Brody and Barry Windham to determine who wrestles Ric Flair at the Great American Bash!
ROSS: Folks, it's going to be another fantstic, action packed hour. Be sure not to miss it!
