ROSS: Welcome to the Scope in Norfolk, VA for this week's ALL PRO WRESTLING! Veteran Phil Hickerson is up in the ring. His opponent is one of the most popular wrestlers in ALL PRO WRESTLING!
“Boogie Woogie Man” Jimmy Valiant vs. Phil Hickerson: The rugged Hickerson attacks Valiant as he enters the ring, but Handsome Jimmy dances, claps, and brawls his way to a comeback! Valiant eventually hits the patented elbow drop for the pinfall! As the Norfolk fans cheer wildly.

ROSS: I'm excited to announce that one of wrestling's toughest men is on his way to ALL PRO WRESTLING! Here's a special look at Ronnie Garvin!
VTR:
Music video set to the above song. Alternates between footage of Ronnie Garvin driving across the countryside in a convertible and match footage of Ronnie beating up stars like Andre the Giant, Mongolian Stomper, and Jos LeDuc.
Bruiser Brody (w/JJ Dillon) vs. Italian Stallion: The Stallion is obviously a capable athlete, but no match for Brody. The wildman pins the Stallion after a big kneedrop.
Bob Caudle stands in the ring beside Jim Crockett. Brody and Dillon are on one side of the ring while Barry Windham and Blackjack Mulligan are on the other.
CROCKETT: I have a major announcement to make and I don't want an altercation here!
DILLON: If those two drugstore cowboys don't start anything, there won't be anything!
CROCKETT: Next week's edition of ALL PRO WRESTLING will originate from the Cincinnati Gardens. Right here, on this program, Bruiser Brody will wrestle Barry Windham for the opportunity to wrestle “Nature Boy” Ric Flair at the Great American Bash on July 4th in the Orange Bowl! Barry, do you have any comments?
WINDHAM: I want to thank you for this great opportunity, Mr. Crockett! Any time Bruiser Brody steps in the ring, it's like a fight to the death and I expect no less next week! I'll need the support of all these great fans if I have a chance of winning! I also wanna say to Ric Flair: Champ, you'd better be ready because regardless of what happens next week, you're in for the fight of your life at the Orange Bowl!
CAUDLE: Comments from the Brody camp?
DILLON: Of course, Barry, like his father before him, wastes time pandering to all of these fans! The fact that this match even is scheduled is a travesty of justice! Bruiser Brody deserves the title match outright! So does Stan Hansen! As well as Jos LeDuc! Not to mention King Konga or David Shults! Ric Flair, you can set up all of the roadblocks you want! Jim Crockett, I know that you tremble at the thought of one of my Outlaws holding your precious championship, but it will happen! It's as inevitable as death and taxes! Blackjack, your boy is gonna be the sacrificial lamb next week!
MULLIGAN: My son is gonna be International Champion and there's nothin that you or your goons or the Nature Boy can do to stop it!
BRODY: I've left a trail of broken bones and busted heads from Tulsa to Dallas to New York City to Tokyo to San Juan and all the way back! Windham, you'll just be the latest in a long line of guys who got stepped on when they stood in Bruiser Brody's way!
WINDHAM: You've got the talkin part done, hoss!
BRODY: (poking Windham in the chest with his finger) Next week, Barry! Then, on to the Orange Bowl!
DILLON: We'll finish this next week in Cincinnati, boys!
Brody and Dillon leave the arena as Mulligan and Windham stand tall in the ring!
MULLIGAN: Barry, I know that next week, you'll make me and your Ma and the rest of the family proud! You people are looking at the next champ right here!(raises Barry's hand as the fans roar)
CAUDLE: Fans, whatever you do, don't miss that great match right here on TV!
CROCKETT: I'm really excited that all of our great fans will get to see this match! I know it's a cliché, but no doubt, this would be a main event in any arena in the civilized world!
ROSS: What HUGE news, folks!
WEAVER: Jim, I've been doing this for a long time and I have never been this excited about a match on television!

Krusher Kruschev, Ivan & Nikita Koloff vs. Gerald Finley, George South, & Coco Samoa: The Russians look dominant this week. Nikita gets Gerald Finley to submit to the over the shoulder backbreaker for the win. The Russians leave immediately after the win so we can get our next bout in the ring.
Jos LeDuc(w/JJ Dillon) vs.Dale Veasey: While Veasey is a powerfully built grappler, LeDuc seems especially motivated and vicious this week. The big Canadian gets the win after a bearhug and then he joins Bob Caudle and JJ Dillon at ringside...
CAUDLE: Impressive win for the big lumberjack, Jos LeDuc!
LEDUC: (grabbing Caudle's tie) What is the big idea of trying to humiliate me, Bob Caudle?
CAUDLE: Jos, what are you talking about?
LEDUC: I saw that video that they played with Ron Garvin! I saw matches that took place a long time ago and the film was doctored to make me look like I was losing to Garvin! Garvin has never beaten me. He never even came close!
CAUDLE: Look that's a promotional video Garvin sent us. If you don't like it, take it up with him!
DILLON: Don't worry, Bob-we'll do exactly that!
CAUDLE: A very agitated Jos LeDuc, fans! He's a scary individual!
ROSS: Don't go anywhere, folks! Hercules Hernandez's Full Nelson Challenge is up next!
COMMERCIAL
Percival Pringle III is in the ring, waving a handfull of bills.
PP3: Time once again for The Hercules Hernandez Full Nelson Challenge! Once again, I have five grand for anybody who can break the most awesome hold in our great sport! Now, here he is....HERCULES HERNANDEZ!!!
HERCULES: Do I have any takers here today? Any wrestler in either dressing room? Any weightlifter? Any football player? Any tough guys here? C'mon, surely one of you hillbillies...
Here comes a taker and he could be trouble!
AVALANCHE BUZZ TYLER!!!!
After a staredown, Tyler allows Hercules to apply the full nelson! Buzz struggles mightily, but eventually has no choice but to submit!
PP3: Nice try, son, but not today!
Hercules releases the hold. As Tyler is on the mat, trying to recover, Pringle and Hernandez put the boots to him! The fans are left to wonder -if a big, tough individual like Tyler can't beat Hercules' challenge, then who can???
COMMERCIAL
Coyote Scott Hall vs. Hustler Rip Rogers: Youth vs. experience this week. Youth is served as Hall gets the submission win with a full nelson. After the match, Hercules Hernandez comes down, snatches the house mic from Gary Michael Capetta, and gets in Hall's face!
HERCULES: OK, punk, I got a question: Are you trying to show me up?
HALL: I'm just interested in winning wrestling matches!
HERCULES: It looks to me like you are trying to steal my spotlight! You're stepping on my toes here and I'm not gonna sit around and take it! This is two weeks in a row that you've pulled this grandstand stunt! Next time, I'm gonna hurt you!
HALL: I'm warning ya, Hernandez- it's real easy to jump on, but a lot harder to jump off!
The two big men stare each other down!
HERCULES: First and last warning, kid!
Hercules drops the mic and leaves the ring as Hall glares after him!
ROSS: We haven't seen the end of this, I can guarantee you! The TV Title is decided next!
COMMERCIAL
Led by Percy Pringle, the challenger enters the ring!!!
The tune changes and TV Champion Terry Taylor makes his entrance, stopping to hug and kiss several young ladies along the way!
TV TITLE MATCH: Terry Taylor © vs. Exotic Adrian Street (w/Percival Pringle III): They seem evenly matched as they trade holds early on. Street gives Taylor a pat on the posterior several times and taylor seems highly uncomfortable with that. Later on, in the match, when it looks like Terry is taking control with a series of forearms, Street counters with a big kiss on Taylor's lips! Terry really wasn't expecting that! Taylor has a look of surprise and disgust on his face! That totally threw Taylor off and Street takes advantage by rolling Terry up! One...two...THREE!!!! Taylor kicked out, but referee Jerry Calhoun said not soon enough!!!
EXOTIC ADRIAN STREET IS YOUR NEW TV CHAMPION!!!
ROSS: I can't believe it and neither can Taylor!
WEAVER: Fans, I've been in this sport, man and boy, for over 30 years and I have never seen anything like that!
Street and Pringle prance all around the ring with Street waving his newly won belt as he goes!
ROSS: I know you folks sts home don't like it, but the new Tv Champ is Adrian Street! Next week, Barry Windham vs. Bruiser Brody for the match with Ric Flair at the Great American Bash at the Orange Bowl!
WEAVER: Speaking of Flair, he will take on the very capable Mike Graham!
ROSS: The Russians will face their archenemy Sgt. Slaughter and his partners, Don Kernodle & Tonga Kid in a six man tag team match! Jos LeDuc will be here, but Ronnie Garvin will be, too! That could be an explosive situation!
WEAVER: There will be another edition of the Hercules Hernandez Full Nelson Challenge on next week's program as well!
ROSS: We'll see you next week, folks!
