Lowrance, “The holiday season is fast approaching, and that means ‘Holiday Star Wars’. ACW invades the ‘Big Apple’ for a huge show at Madison Square Garden. We have several matches signed for December 22.
First of all, Gino Hernandez defends the American Heavyweight Title against Iceman King Parsons.
In a ‘Cuban Barrio Street Fight’, Hercules Hernandez takes on Ray Candy. The rules of the match are as follows, there is no disqualification, and no count out. Both men can ‘come as they are’. They may wear whatever they wish to the ring. To win the match, your opponent must be counted out and no answer a ten count. The rivalry between Gary Hart, and Skandor Akbar gets even hotter.
Last week, ACW President Fritz Von Erich announced that ACW would recognize Tatsumi Fujinami, the World Wrestling International World Champion. Mr. Fujinami will be on the New York show. He will be here next week, and his opponent will be announced.
We can add two more matches. First of all, Hacksaw Jim Duggan will meet Kamala the Ugandan Giant. This will be a pier six brawl.
Finally, let’s go to Fritz Von Erich to announce our next match.”

I am happy to announce that on December 22, at Madison Square Garden, Kerry, Kevin, and Mike will challenge the Legion of Doom for the title.
