Nikita Koloff & Krusher Kruschev coming to the ring with the International Tag belts around their waists.
ROSS: I'm here at the Fairgrounds Arena in Music City USA, Nahville, TN, along with all time great Johnny Weaver! John, this might be the best hour of wrestling that we've ever presented in ALL PRO WRESTLING!
WEAVER: Barry Windham will defend the International Championship against the man who holds a pinfall victory against him, “Russian Nightmare” Nikita Koloff! That would fill any arena in the world!
ROSS: Also, one of the hottest feuds in APW explodes here this week as Mike Rotundo takes on a man who has made it a personal issue, “Dr. D” David Shults! We'll see Jos LeDuc and hear from the man who LeDuc injured, Ronnie Garvin! Sgt. Slaughter will be here against veteran Mr. Fuji! We'll hear from the great Mr. Wrestling II! And “Tennessee Stud” Robert Fuller is here with Johnny and myself! You have a lot of guys on your bad side these days, Mr. Fuller!
FULLER: That's quite alright! I have the great Killer Khan! I have “Mad Dog” Buzz Sawyer! I have made a phone call to the toughest man who I ever faced in the ring! I told him that sometimes it's better to switch than fight and he agreed! His name is the Mongolian Stomper and he will be here next week! I have also found my replacement for the PYT Express! They aren't scientific wrestlers and they don't claim to be! They are street fighters and back alley brawlers and proud of it! If Stan Lane and Steve Keirn can make music videos why can't I? Here they are, Len Denton & Tony Anthony, my Dirty White Boys!
VTR:
Music video set to the above. We see Len Denton & Tony Anthony riding Harleys, hanging out in sleazy bars with sleazier women, shooting pool and working out in the gym.
Jos LeDuc(w/JJ Dillon) vs. Roy Lee Welch: LeDuc scores a convincing submission win via the bearhug.
VTR:
Ron Garvin is sitting on a sofa in what appears to be his living room.
GARVIN: I agreed to allow the ALL PRO WRESTLING camera crew to come into my home today. I have gotten a lot of mail since the Great American Bash and most of it has been get well cards and letters asking about my health. I appreciate all of the fans who are concerned. I was busted up after that gorilla LeDuc threw me over the top rope all the way down to the floor of the Orange Bowl! I did spend a week in the hospital and the doctors have told me to take time off. I'm gonna follow those orders. I want payback, but LeDuc isn't worth jeopardizing my health over. I hear that on Labor Day, they have a big televised card in Memphis and I plan on being there. Until then, who knows? But, Jos LeDuc, make no mistake, Ronnie Garvin is not done! I will come back and when I do, I'll be looking for you!

Mr. Fuji is standing in the ring. Ross and Weaver put him over as a wily veteran and a vicious opponent.
Then, we hear:
Flag in hand, here comes the Sarge!
Sgt. Slaughter vs. Mr. Fuji: Fuji uses every dirty trick in the book, but the “USA” chant inspires the Sarge to an impressive comeback win after hitting the Slughter Cannon.
ROSS: I'm very pleased to announce that one of the great veterans of wrestling, a man I call a legend, Mr. Wrestling II has signed a contract with ALL PRO WRESTLING. Take a look at this feature.
VTR:
Mr. Wrestling II is standing in a ring in an empty arena.
II: I'm coming to ALL PRO WRESTLING. I'm coming because that's where all the action is and where the hottest competition is! I'm also coming to settle some old scores. This white mask was red with blood a few years ago. That's because I was in a tag team match down in Pensacola and my “partner” and “good friend” decided to jump me and join in with our opponents in splitting my head open! That man was none other than Robert Fuller! Mr. Tennessee Stud, when they told me you were here, the big money they offered was just icing on the cake!I know there are a lot of my longtime fans watching, for them, what they are about to see will be a reminder. For the fans who have never seen Wrestling II, this is your introduction to what I'm all about. Here it is:
Music video featuring footage of Wrestling II wrestling a variety of heels from various territories and varied time in his career. There are several slo mo shots of II hitting the Million Dollar Kneelift.

Mike Rotundo vs. “Dr. D” David Shults (w/JJ Dillon): Rotundo attacks at the bell and wrestles very aggressively. The match finally spills out of the ring and the fans go wild as Rotundo and Shults brawl all the way to the dressing room area! Referee Alfred Neeley counts both men out and this war is far from over!

Referee Jerry Calhoun stands in the ring as Nikita Koloff comes to the ring with his uncle Ivan who carries the Soviet flag. The fans boo and chant “USA”.
Then we hear...
Here comes the International Champ, Barry Windham, followed by his father, Blackjack Mulligan! Blackjack is proudly waving old Glory and the fans rise to their feet.
With their seconds cheering them on, Windham and Koloff start slowly, feeling each other out. Koloff gains the early advantage using his power. With the crowd chanting “USA”, Windham turns the tide with dropkicks, forearms, and a flying head scissors. Both Ivan and Blackjack attempt to get involved and referee Jerry Calhoun sends both seconds to the dressing room! The match eventually degenerates into a brawl and Calhoun gets knocked silly in the process! Soon after Calhoun goes down, Nikita hits the sickle and covers Windham! After almost ten seconds, Dick Woehrle runs in and makes a count! One! TWO! THRE....WINDHAM GETS THE TOE OF HIS LEFT BOOT ON THE ROPE! That was waaaay too close!
After the near fall, Koloff takes over, battering Windham all over the ring! Soon, Barry is bloody and it looks like we might have a new International Champion as Woehrle examines Windham's cuts. NO! WINDHAM PUSHES THE REF AWAY! The sight of his own blood seems to fire Barry up and he makes a tremendous comeback against Nikita! Krusher Kruschev comes to ringside and climbs onto the ring apron! Nikita fights back, Krusher is holding up his International Tag Title belt! Nikita is going to send Windham headfirst into the belt! NO! Barry reverses and sends Koloff into Kruschev! After the collision, Windham rolls Koloff up! One...two...THREE!!!! Windham holds on to the International Championship in a wild one! Ivan Koloff is back out here and he's in Woehrle's face! Kruschev & Nikita are putting the boots to Windham! Here come Blackjack Mulligan and Mike Rotundo! The other members of the Family save Windham from a brutal beatdown! What a wild scene!

ROSS: Next week, ALL PRO WRESTLING will originate from Chilhowee Park in Knoxville! Terry Taylor will defend his newly won TV Title against wily veteran Mr. Fuji! Hercules Hernandez will be in action! “Tennesee Stud” Robert Fuller will be in action! We will see one of the greatest tag teams in the world, Bruiser Brody & Stan Hansen, in action! Killer Khan will return to All Pro after a successful international tour! Johnny Weaver and I will bring you all of the action right here next week!
