Well, it's a hot evening in Miami and it's only gonna heat up as the evening progresses!
Now, to honor America, please welcome country music recording artist LEE GREENWOOD!!!
Preceded by a color guard, Lee Greenwood makes his way to ringside. Garry Capetta hands him a microphone.
As Lee takes his bows, our first match enters the ring!
Pistol Pez Whatley vs. King Konga(w/JJ Dillon): Pez gives the big man from Chicago all he wants and it looks like the Pistol might pull it off. Then, he runs into a big boot from Konga that flattens him. Konga hits the diving head butt off the top rope onto Whatley and scores the pin at the 8:23 mark.
The Grappler makes his way to the ring amid a chorus of boos. Then, we hear...
Mil Mascaras makes his way to the ring, wearing one of his 1,000 masks and a long, flowing cape! The Mexican Champion leaps over the top rope into the ring and we are ready!
MEXICAN TITLE MATCH: Mil Mascaras © vs. The Grappler: The battle of the masked men sees Mascaras come out on top after a flying shoulder block at the 7:23 mark.

(Believe it or not, Carlitos actually was walking out to this back then)
The Caribbean Champ has arrived!
CARIBBEAN TITLE MATCH: Carlos Colon © vs. Iron Mike Sharpe: Sharpe gets the advantage early in the match, but Carlos makes a furious comeback and pins Sharpe with a sunset flip in 11:34 to retain his title!
The music plays and Percival Pringle makes his way into the Orange Bowl, followed by Koko Ware and Norvel Austin, THE PYT EXPRESS!!!
A long white limo pulls into the stadium. A chauffeur steps out, opens the back door, and the FABULOUS ONES exit the limo and make their way to the ring!
Stan Lane & Steve Keirn have arrived in ALL PRO WRESTLING! The fans, especially the females, are going wild!
THE PYT Express(Koko Ware & Norvell Austin) (w/Percival Pringle III) vs. The Fabulous Ones (Steve Keirn & Stan Lane): This is a fast paced, back and forth match. These two teams actually seem to be evenly matched. Stan pins Koko in 10:13 after a double DDT by the Fabs. This could be the start of something big as Stan & Steve celebrate with a Fargo strut while Pringle lodges a futile protest with referee Jerry Calhoun.
Ronnie Garvin vs. Jos LeDuc (w/JJ Dillon): This is an all out brawl! These two gladiators proceed to batter each other from pillar to post! The match spills out onto the stadium floor where both men end up getting bashed with chairs and slammed facefirst into the ring post! Back into the ring they go and Garvin goes for a flying scissors...LeDuc pulls Garvin off and presses him over his head! LeDuc slams Garvin, not onto the mat, but onto the ringside turf! Garvin is writhing in the pain on the stadium floor! The referee counts him out at the 10:22 mark, but the more important result is that Garvin has to be wheeled out of the stadium on a gurney!
“Dr. D” David Shults (w/JJ Dillon) vs. Mike Rotundo: Rotundo has a bandage on his forehead courtesy of the “good doctor. Shults picks up where he left off this past week on TV, dishing out a bunch of punishment to Mike and, soon, the bandage on Mike's head is stained red. It looks like it's over as Shults comes off the top rope with the big elbow! Rotundo rolls out of Dr. D's way! Rotundo recovers and goes to work on Shults! After dominating the action for a few minutes, Mike puts Dr. D in the airplane spin! Unfortunately, Shults' feet hit referee Alfred neeley in the face and knock Neeley to the mat! JJ Dillon attempts to get into the ring, but suffers the same fate as Neeley! Dr. D manages to grab the top rope and pulls himself and Rotundo over the top and down to the turf! Shults slams Rotundo's head into the post! Shults tears the bandage off of Rotundo's forehead and the blood is flowing! Shults drags Rotundo back into the ring. Rotundo is a bloody mess, but he isn't done yet! Rotundo starts firing away on Shults! A second official,Jerry Calhoun rushes into the ring as Rotundo applies the abdominal stretch on Dr. D! Calhoun! Dr. D refuses to submit! Calhoun is checking the gash on Rotundo's head...Calhoun stops the match! Rotundo is protesting, but Calhoun awards this match to Dr. D at the 15:11 mark!
The music plays and JJ Dillon strolls to the ring, followed by these guys...
Brody is turning over chairs and Hansen is swinging his bullrope! The Outlaws have already blazed a path of destruction this evening. Will it continue in this match?
The music changes for two of the most popular men in wrestling today-Blackjack Mulligan & “Mr. USA” Tony Atlas!
“Mr. USA” Tony Atlas & Blackjack Mulligan vs. Bruiser Brody & Stan Hansen(w/JJ Dillon): An all out brawl. Referee Dick Woehrle has a tough time keeping order here. At one point, Mulligan applies the claw to Hansen and has Stan down in the center of the ring! JJ Dillon is on the apron! Atlas goes over and he's got Dillon by the lapels of his jacket! The ref is trying to break up Dillon and Atlas! Brody comes off the top rope and drives a knee into Blackjack's back! Brody then rolls out of the ring. Hansen covers Mulligan as the ref gets Dillon off of the apron. One...Two...THREE! Brody & Hanse steal one! Time of the fall: 10:11.
FULL NELSON MATCH(Match can only be won via submission to the full nelson) “Coyote” Scott Hall vs. Hercules Hernandez(w/Percival Pringle III): Two big powerful men beating each other all over the ring! Hercules mamnages to apply his full nelson, a hold that nobody has broke thus far in ALL PRO WRESTLING! The fans are cheering for Hall and he seems to draw strength from this! HALL REVERSES THE FULL NELSON! Now, Scott Hall has Hernandez in the full nelson! Pringle is yelling encouragement to his man, but to no avail! Hernandez submits and Scott Hall wins!!!
Ivan Koloff makes his way to the ring for our next match. Ivan is dressed for combat with camoflauge pants, combat boots, taped fists, and carrying his Russian chain.
The music changes! What's this?
A tank rolls into the Orange Bowl! It stops a few hundred feet from the ring and SGT. SLAUGHTER climbs out! A marine color guard escorts the Sarge the rest of the way to the ring!
Slaughter is wearing his camoflauge fatigues, combat boots, and a combat helmet! He climbs into the room as the crowd rocks the Orange Bowl with a “USA” chant!
BOOT CAMP MATCH: Sgt. Slaughter vs. “Russian Bear” Ivan Koloff: There's no DQ or countout here and Koloff takes full advantage by viciously attacking Slaughter as soon as he climbs into the ring! Sarge makes a big countout at around the ten minute mark. Finally, a bloodied Slaughter pins an equally Koloff after a Slaughter cannon off the middle turnbuckle at the 16:34 mark.
Percival Pringle leads the TV Champion Exotic Adrian Street to the ring! These two get a very negative reaction!
The response is quite different as popular Terry Taylor is led to the ring by his equally popular second, Jimmy Valiant!
APW TV Title match: Exotic Adrian Street © (w/Percival Pringle III) vs. Terry Taylor (w/ “Boogie Woogie Man” Handsome Jimmy Valiant): Taylor and Street seem evenly matched. Pringle attempts to interfere almost constantly, but Valiant is on him like a duck on a june bug! It looks like Taylor will regain his title when he hits Street with the big forearm! Pringle attempts to get into the ring, but Valiant stops him! Wait a second! What is this guy doing here?
“MAD DOG” BUZZ SAWYER HAS ATTACKED JIMMY VALIANT FROM BEHIND!
Terry Taylor leaves the ring to attempt to save his friend from Sawyer! Taylor gets bodyslammed onto the Orange Bowl turf for his trouble! Sawyer rolls Taylor back into the ring where Street gets an easy pin at the 9:48 mark! Street, Sawyer, and Pringle leave together. Has “The Mad Dog” been added to the Pringle Dynasty?
International Tag Team Title Match: Jack & Gerald Brisco © vs. Nikita Koloff & Krusher Kruschev:
Early on, it looks like the Russians will simply overpower the Briscoes to win the belts. Jack & Gerry are easily the better technical grapplers at this point and use their skills to turn the tide. It looks like the champs will retain as Gerald goes for a piledriver on Krushcev as Nikita brawls with Jack! Nikita clotheslines Jack out of the ring and then sickles Gerry out of his boots! Kruschev crawls onto Brisco...One! Two!THREE!!! THE RUSSIANS ARE THE NEW INTERNATIONAL TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!!
It's time for the MAIN EVENT!!!
Here comes the challenger! Barry Windham rides to the ring astride a white horse as Miami goes wild!
Now, it's time for the entrance of the International Champion!!!
A helicopter flies over the stadium before making a landing on the field! The door of the chopper opens and Ric Flair disembarks! Flair strolls to the ring like he owns the place!
INTERNATIONAL TITLE MATCH: “Nature Boy” Ric Flair © vs. Barry Windham: As soon as referee Dick Woehrle calls for the bell, Flair goes on the offensive, chopping away on Windham! Barry fights back and Flair bails out of the ring! The champ relies on similar hit and run tactics during the early going and seems to frustrate Windham.

As the crowd roars its support, Barry manages to reverse the hold! Flair scoots to the bottom rope and grabs on for dear life! The referee breaks the hold and both men struggle to their feet.
