ROSS: Welcome to ALL PRO WRESTLING! I'm Jim Ross alongside one of the all time greats, Johnny Weaver, here in Knoxville, TN once again! This week, we have some really big matches, John!
WEAVER: Today, we'll see one of my great friends, Mr. Wrestling II go against “Mad Dog” Buzz Sawyer! As you've heard Wrestling II say, he has a longstanding grudge against “Tennessee Stud” Robert Fuller and the Mad Dog is an integral part of the Stud Stable! Also, the “Boogie Woogie Man” Handsome Jimmy Valiant will face yet another Stud Stable member, the Mongolian Stomper! We've also got the Russians, the Family, the Dirty White Boys, and, right now, we have one of wrestling's rising young lions in the ring!
Tom Prichard vs. George South: Prichard scores an impressive win, pinning South after an enzuguri kick.

CROCKETT: Wrestling fans, we have huge news! On Labor Day, September 3, on the Nashville Network, All Pro Wrestling presents a Wrestling Spectacular, live from the Mid South Coliseum in Memphis, TN! If you don't get the Nashville Network on your local cable system, contact your cable company ande demand that they add it to your channel lineup! You can't miss this card! My big brother, president of ALL PRO WRESTLING and Crockett promotions joins me at this time, the Honorable Jim Crockett!
CROCKETT: David, We don't have their opponents at this time, but International Champion Barry Windham, the International Tag Champions The Russians, and TV Champion Terry Taylor will all defend their titles against suitable competition! We also have news from Salvador Lutteroth in Mexico: A wrestler called The Fishman has won the Mexican Title from Mil Mascaras in Tijuana. On the Spectacular, we will have the rematch for that title!
DAVID: That's great, Jim! I can't wait for Labor Day!
CROCKETT: Next week, we'll have even more news about this great event!
ROSS: Wow! Labor Day is going to be a HUGE day on the calendar of wrestling fans, Johnny!
WEAVER: As always, Jim Crockett has put together something fantstic for the fans! I can't wait to see the entire card. Right now, though, Gary Capetta is ready to introduce our next bout!
Dirty White Boys(Len Denton & Tony Anthony) (w/”Tennessee Stud” Robert Fuller) vs. King Cobra & Mike Jackson: Cobra has his moments, but once Jackson tags in, the White Boys take over and Anthony pins Jackson after a powerslam.
COMMERCIAL
Nikita Koloff & Krusher Kruschev(w/Ivan Koloff) vs. Italian Stallion & Davey Haskins: During the match, Weaver and Ross discuss the ruling that any two of the Russians can defend the International Tag Team Titles. Both agree that this gives the Russian team an unfair advantage. Regardless, the Soviets dominate this non-title bout and Nikita pins Haskins after a Russian Sickle.
ROSS: Let's go to Bob Caudill at ringside!
CAUDLE: After an impressive win, I'm joined by the Russians! Ivan, you and your comrades continue to steamroll over the competition!
KOLOFF: The Russian athlete is superior because of our training methods and nutrition. You Americans are all like this Barry Windham and this Sgt. Slaughter: soft and weak from sitting on your couches and eating your pizza! If United States had been able to provide security for my country's athletes, we would not have boycotted and proved this in Olympics! Because Soviet athletes boycotted, the Kremlin is relying on us to show United States who is boss! When Nikita wins International belt, we will have all titles that mean anything! Then, we will take titles back to Russia and present them to the Politburo! Tell them, Nikita!
NIKITA: Uncle Ivan, I should already be International Champion! When I wrestled Barry Windham, he was weak and soft! I beat him easily! It was incompetent American referees who kept Windham as Champion! You look at Krusher! You look at Nikita and Uncle Ivan! We are greatest wrestlers in World! International Title will belong to the Russian Nightmare!
KRUSCHEV: That's right, Nikita! Any team that wants our tag belts, sign the contract! The Fabs, the Island Boys, The Dirty White Boys, ANYBODY! (slaps Nikita's chest) Windham, this man is gonna take your belt and there's nothing you can do about it!

Jeff Sword, Mr. Fuji, & “Hollywood” John Tatum are standing in the ring. These three look ready for a fight. Then, we hear...
Blackjack Mulligan, Barry Windham, & Mike Rotundo vs. “Hollywood” John Tatum, Mr. Fuji, & Jeff Sword: The Family has arrived! The faces look dominant and Mulligan pins Sword with the claw.
CAUDLE: What an impressive win, Blackjack!
MULLIGAN: Bob, I am so proud of these young men! I heard a bunch of communists out here earlier, spewing a bunch of lies about this great country and about the International Heavyweight Champion! Ivan Koloff, I've known you for 20 years and you've always been no good, son! Now, you've got your feeble minded nephew thinking that he can beat my son, one of the greatest wrestlers to come down the pike since Dory Funk, Jr.!
WINDHAM: You Russians talk a good game, but Nikita, you see where the belt is! With all of these people chanting “USA”, I feel unstoppable! Next week, I've signed to wrestle Krusher Kruschev! Krusher, if you've got plans to soften me up for Nikita, that's ok with me! I'm ready for anything you can throw at me!
ROTUNDO: Dr. D! You made this personal! You think you're tough because you can cuss on TV and swing chairs and slam people's head into a ringpost! Well, there's more to being tough than that! There's more to being a man that that! I'm not intimidated and I'm gonna teach you a lesson you won't forget! Anytime, anyplace, Shults!

Buzz Sawyer (w/”Tennessee Stud” Robert Fuller) vs. Mr. Wrestling II: Sawyer lives up to his nickname, but the masked veteran refuses to back down! The action spills to the outside and both men are counted out!
COMMERCIAL
Robert Fuller leads the Mongolian Stomper to the ring. The Knoxville fans are very familiar with these two and familiarity has bred contempt! The boos are raining down until we hear...
Jimmy Valiant recieves a hero's welcome this week!
“Boogie Woogie Man” Jimmy Valiant vs. Mongolian Stomper(w/”Tennessee Stud” Robert Fuller): Nothing but a wild brawl in this one! They fight in the ring, around the ring, and into the crowd! Fuller turns out to be the differnce maker as he loads his boot and kicks Valiant in the head as the Stomper distracts the ref! After the interference, Stomper lands several stomps to Valiant's prone body and then scores a tainted pin! After the bell, Stomper and Fuller start to deliver more punishment, but Prichard and Wrestling II hit the ring to make the save!
COMMERCIAL
ROSS: Thanks for staying with us, folks! Next week, Barry Windham will take on Krusher Kruschev! Killer Khan will take on Don Kernodle! We'll see the return of Ronnie Garvin!
WEAVER: After what we just saw, Jimmy Valiant demanded a match with a member of the Stud Stable, any member of the Stable! Buzz Sawyer stepped forward! Next week, the Boogie Man will take on the Mad Dog!
ROSS: I'm sure that Jim Crockett will be here with even more information on the Labor Day Wrestling Spectacular! Don't miss next week's action packed show!
