OPENING:
As this song plays, we see the following scenes:
Ric Flair's entrance from Starrcade '83
Terry Taylor raising the TV Title belt above his head
Barry Windham hitting a lariat on an opponent
Mike Rotundo executing the airplane spin
Ivan Koloff waving a Soviet flag
Sgt. Slaughter applying the cobra clutch
Tony Atlas pressing an opponent over his head
Bruiser Brody dropping a big knee onto a fallen opponent
Jimmy Valiant dancing
Nikita Koloff & Krusher Kruschev coming to the ring with the International Tag belts around their waists.
ROSS: Welcome to ALL PRO WRESTLING! After last week's controversy filled program, we are here for another hour of the hottest action in the sport! One of the greats of professional wrestling, Johnny Weaver is here! Today, we have two title matches!
WEAVER: The newly crowned International Tag Team Champions Nikita Koloff & Krusher Kruschev defend against the PYT Express! Exotic Adrian Street will defend the TV Title against the man he won it from, Terry Taylor!
ROSS: Last week, we saw the initial appearance of “the Tennessee Stud” Robert Fuller! Fuller has taken over the contracts of the Pringle Dynasty. The PYT Express and Adrian Street are all members of Fuller's newly formed Stud Stable. Today is a big day for that organization! Two more Stud Stable members, “Mad Dog” Buzz Sawyer & Killer Khan will compete in tag team action! Speaking of organizations, this week, we'll see all five of JJ Dillon's Outlaws in a rare 10 man tag team match!
WEAVER: A lot of the greatest wrestlers in the world are in action and ALL PRO WRESTLING is the only place you can see'em, Jim Ross!
ROSS: I don't know of another wrestling program in the world that will open with a tag team title match, but that's what we're going to do right now!
INTERNATIONAL TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: Nikita Koloff & Krusher Kruschev (w/ Ivan Koloff) vs. The PYT Express(Koko Ware & Norvell Austin)(w/”Tennessee Stud” Robert Fuller): Before the bell, Fuller shakes hands with and embraces Ivan before the match and that gets heat with the crowd and seemingly with the PYTS! The Nashville crowd seems to want to get behind Koko & Norvell as they start a “USA” chant. Fuller tries to shush the chant, but that only makes it louder. The PYTs look really good here, but Austin walks into a sickle from Nikita and “the Russian Nightmare” and that does it! The Russians retain the International belts!

David Crockett is standing by in front of the APW logo.
CROCKETT: Fans in Atlanta, I have some big news! All Pro Wrestling is going to make its debut in one of the premiere arenas in the wrestling world, the Omni! I'm proud to announce the Main Event! Of all the arenas in the world, the Omni was chose as the site for the rematch for the International Title between new Champion Barry Windham and the former Champion, the great “Nature Boy” Ric Flair!
Ric, come on out!
FLAIR: David Crockett, my friend, it will be my pleasure to once again headline the Omni! I'll wear a $15,000 robe! I'll walk that aisle with supreme confidence! I'll have two of the most beautiful ladies in the state of Georgia waiting out in my long, white limo with champagne on ice! I'll have the honeymoon suite booked at the Hyatt! It will be the greatest night of my life! Windham, I'll take you apart, son, and I'll take back what's rightfully mine! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Barry, you've just got too many distractions these days! You're worried about Nikita! You're mad because somebody mentioned your sister's name on television! The one and only thing you need to concern yourself with is the one and only! The jet flyin, kiss stealin, limosine riding sonofagun, the WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Nature Boy! The once and future champ!
There's one more little thing, one teeny tiny thing, David, if I may change the subject...
CROCKETT: Sure, Ric, whatever you want!
FLAIR: Last week, I heard sweet young Terry Taylor out here talking about how he someday wanted to be on the level of people like Brisco, Race, Rogers, Thesz, & Slick Ric himself. He even had the nerve to use my figure four! The little girls went wild, but evry woman over 21 was bored to tears! Taylor, you'd better stick with the Adrian Streets and the Mike Grahams, and the Tonga Kids because you will never be in the Nature Boy's league, punk! A lot of punks like you have got in my way, Taylor, and they all ended up face down in a pool of blood!
I am the greatest of all time! I stand alone on the top of the mountain! Polish up my belt, Windham! Dream on, Taylor! You will never be the Nature Boy! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
“Mad Dog” Buzz Sawyer & Killer Khan (w/”Tennessee Stud” Robert Fuller) vs. Jumpin Joe Savoldi & Mike Graham: Graham & Savoldi use speed & science to make a decent showing, but Saywer powerslams Savoldi and Khan follows that with a top rope kneedrop for the win.
COMMERCIAL
Bruiser Brody, Stan Hansen, “Dr. D” David Shults, Jos LeDuc, & King Konga(w/JJ Dillon) vs. Dale Veasey, David Haskins, David Peterson, Gerald Finley, Jim Powers: JJ Dillon's “Outlaws” go through their opponents like a hot knife through butter! LeDuc forces Finley to submit to the bearhug for the win. During the match, Jim Crockett joins in on commentary and says that David Shults is barred from speaking on APW television!
COMMERCIAL
Terry Taylor is in the ring, stretching and warming up. Then, we hear...
TV Champ Adrian Street arrives with Robert Fuller at his side and we're ready for our second title match!
TV TITLE MATCH: “Exotic” Adrian Street (c)(w/”Tennessee Stud” Robert Fuller) vs. Terry Taylor: Street's effeminate mannerisms don't seem to bother Taylor as much anymore. Taylor dominates the action by working the leg of Street. After a three way collision that knocks referee Jerry Calhoun out of the ring, Taylor applies the figure four in the center of the ring! Fuller is geaturing wildly at ringside!
BUZZ SAWYER COMES TO THE RING! Sawyer is on the top turnbuckle, ready to pounce on Taylor!
Jimmy Valiant runs down and nails the Mad Dog with a chair! Sawyer goes crashing to the mat, missing Taylor! Valiant pulls Buzz out of the ring and posts him! The Boogie Man has saved the day!
Meanwhile, in the ring, Clahoun rolls back in, just in time to hear Street submit! TERRY TAYLOR IS YOUR NEW TV CHAMPION!
Robert Fuller is irate as Jimmy enters the ring, dancing and celebrating with Taylor!

Bob Caudle is at ringside.
CAUDLE: I'm here with Robert Fuller, Buzz Sawyer, & Killer Khan, a portion of the Stud Stable!
FULLER: No, sir! The ENTIRE STUD STABLE! The dead weight is gone! These are the only men who have proven themselves to me! Don't worry, though, more are coming! Bigger, better, & tougher men! I have a promise to make! Jimmy Valiant, you came south several years ago and you make me sick, you filthy looking hippie! You stuck your nose in Stable business today and I promise that you will regret it, son! What do you want?
Hercules Hernandez is at ringside! He grabs the mic out of Fuller's hand!
HERCULES: I want you to know that you can't fire me, 'cause I QUIT!
The Stud Stable attacks Hernandez! It looks bad until Jimmy Valiant comes out, swinging a chair to scatter Fuller and his men!
CAUDLE: David Crockett is standing by in the locker room area!
David Crockett is in the locker room with Barry Windham & Mike Rotundo!
CROCKETT: Here they are: International Champion Barry Windham and Mike Rotundo! Barry, you heard Ric Flair talking about the upcoming rematch in the Omni! How do you respond to that?
WINDHAM: Ric Flair, make no mistake, I might have a full plate these days, but on July 29th, I'll have a one track mind! My focus will be on beating you just like I did in the Orange Bowl! I won't have a limo and I won't be wearing a robe, but I think I've proven what I can do in the ring! You want this(holds up title belt), then come on and give it your best shot! The same goes for Nikita Koloff, any of Dillon's Outlaws, or any of the Stud Stable.
CROCKETT: Mike, he mentioned the Outlaws. I know that at least one of the Outlaws, Dr. D, has got on your bad side!
ROTUNDO: Shults, they banned you from talking on TV, but I begged them not to ban you from wrestling because I want a piece of you, you loudmouthed jerk! I want to settle this in the ring! I want to close that foul mouth once and for all!
CROCKETT: Sorry, guys, but we're outta time! See you next week! +
