Lowrance, “Welcome to the ‘Holiday Star Wars’ Control Center. December 22 is fast approaching. ACW will be Madison Square Garden. We invade New York City with the best in wrestling action. Here’s what we know so far.
Hacksaw Jim Duggan will take on Kamala.
Gino Hernandez defends the American Heavyweight Title against Iceman King Parsons.
The Legion of Doom defends the International Six Man Tag Team Titles against the Von Erich Brothers.
Today we can add three matches to the card. The Texas Title will go on the line. ‘Gorgeous’ Jimmy Garvin defends against ‘Gentleman’ Chris Adams. But that's not all, the loser of this match must leave ACW. There is a lot on the line in this one.
Next, the American Tag Team Titles are up for grabs. The Fantastics will defend against a team debuting in ACW. The Midnight Express are one of top young tag teams in the sport. Let’s hear from their manager James E. Cornette.”
James E. Cornette, with his tennis racket, stands in an interview area.
Cornette, “My name is James E. Cornette, and I manage the Midnight Express. We’re coming to ACW to ugly up two pretty boys. The Fantastics appeal to teenage girls, but after we finish beating them up, they’ll be lonely on Saturday nights. Loverboy Dennis, and Beautiful Bobby, are going to be the best thing New York City has ever seen. The average New Yorker should give up robbing liquor stores for one night to watch us beat up those punks! After we beat them, we’re coming to Texas to show those dumb hick cowboys what professional wrestling is all about! Get ready for the Midnight Express!”
Lowrance, “Well, Mr. Cornette seems very opinionated. Finally, let’s talk about the World Title match. The World Wrestling International Champion Tatsumi Fujinami will be in action. He will defend the title against a man well known to wrestling fans, one of the greatest masked men in the history of the sport, the Spoiler. The Champion will be in action later in the program, and we can announce, both Fujinami, and the Spoiler will be here next week. Join us for more information.”
Match #5

The Champion is one of the finest wrested in the sport. The match opens with a handshake. We see an impressive display of scientific wrestling. Adias holds his own against the Champion. Fujinami begins to take over. He uses the Dragon suplex to set up the Dragon sleeper for the win. The new Champion is very impressive.
Winner-Tatsumi Fujinami
Marc Lowrance is with Gary Hart and Ray Candy.
Lowrance, “With me are Gary Hart and Ray Candy. Mr. Hart, Skandor Akbar feels he outsmarted you by stealing Hercules Hernandez from you.”
Hart, “Marc Lowrance, obviously you have been listening to Skandor Ak-a-bar. He did get Hercules, and yes, I wanted him. That’s the business of wrestling. Now, he’s decided he wants to rub my nose in it. Well, Ray Candy is not going to let that happen. They thought they could embarrass him too. It’s not going to happen. Ray’s going to take care of Ernie Ladd tonight, and then he’ll make Ak-a-bar and Hercules, Pay when we get to New York.”
Lowrance, “About the ‘Holiday Star Wars’ Match, a ‘Cuban Barrio Street Fight’, that’s seems right down Hercules’ alley.”
Hart, “Marc Lowrance, I know you’re young, but you are smart. Look at Ray Candy, 6-5, 325 pounds, who is he going to back down from? Hernandez, Ak-a-bar, you stepped into something you can’t get out of.”
Lowrance, “Ladd vs. Candy is our feature match.”
