JACK REYNOLDS is standing behind a podium, with the NAWF logo behind him. Reynolds welcomes his co-host, “the World’s most dangerous wrestler” DICK THE BRUISER!
Reynolds and the Bruiser welcome us to another episode of “All-Star Championship Wrestling”!
This week, we’ve got a huge main event! After Jim Cornette’s comments last week about Bruno Sammartino Jr, Sammartino and Tony Parisi went to Johnny Powers and asked for a match with Cornette’s Midnight Express. We’ll see that match right here today!
Plus, Abdullah the Butcher, Arn Anderson, Rocky Johnson and Dino Bravo will be in action!
Suddenly, “Freebird” begins to play throughout the Fieldhouse . . . and MICHAEL HAYES and TERRY GORDY make their way to the podium!
Hayes grabs Reynolds’ mic, and says that Jack is forgetting the best part of today’s show . . . the NAWF debut of the Fabulous Freebirds! Hayes says that Freebird Fantasia is going to run wild in the NAWF!
Terry Gordy says he doesn’t care who it is, he just wants to get in the ring and beat somebody up!
Reynolds says that Hayes and Gordy will indeed be in action today, and sends us to our first commercial break.
ARN ANDERSON beats ART CREWS. The youngster gets the win by pinfall after driving Crews into the mat with a brutal spinebuster.
ABDULLAH THE BUTCHER (w/ Bobby Heenan) beats AL SNOW. Poor Al Snow takes a real beating here, as the Butcher attacks the second the bell rings, and doesn’t let up at all! Snow barely gets in any offence in, it’s all Abby, and he quickly puts Snow away with the Butcher’s Axe elbowdrop.
Afterwards, Abby continues to pummel Snow, hitting a second elbowdrop. Abby then pulls out his trusty fork and proceeds to start carving Snow’s forehead up with it!
Just as we saw last week, ROCKY JOHNSON again hits the ring and attacks the Butcher!
Abby and Rocky trade punches briefly, until a group of officials swarm the ring and separate them.
Johnson comes over and joins Reynolds and Bruiser. Rocky says that he’s not going to just sit back and watch this lunatic try to maim people, and he challenges the Butcher to try his luck with the “Soulman”!
Billy Red Lyons is standing by with Bruno Sammartino Jr and Tony “Cannonball” Parisi. Lyons talks about Jim Cornette’s comments last week, that he hopes his Midnight Express face Sammartino and Parisi in the North American tag team title tournament on Christmas night, so his men can humiliate them. Parisi says that if Cornette thinks a couple of scrawny little pretty boys from down South are going to beat him and Bruno Jr, he’s got a rude awakening!
Sammartino says he personally asked Commissioner Powers for this match with the Midnights today, because he wants to prove Cornette wrong, he wants to show everyone that he’s every bit the wrestler his father was, and most importantly . . . he wants the opportunity to punch Cornette right in the mouth!
ROCKY JOHNSON VS SAILOR WHITE doesn’t even get started, as Abdullah the Butcher hits the ring, and attacks Rocky from behind just as he locks up with White. With Heenan directing traffic, Abby and Sailor White put the boots to Johnson, with Abby then pulling out the fork and opening up a cut on Rocky’s forehead.
It’s not long before Johnson is wearing the crimson mask. He tries desperately to fight back, but the combination of the beating he’s received, and the loss of blood has slowed him down, and Abby and White continue to pummel him. Abby hits two Butcher’s Axe elbowdrops, and that’s all she wrote for Rocky, he’s out on the mat, but the Butcher isn’t done! Heenan throws a chair into the ring, and while the Brain and Sailor White fight off anyone who tries to help Rocky, Abdullah repeatedly drives the chair into Rocky’s ribs!
Finally, Dino Bravo, Arn Anderson, Bruno Sammartino Jr and Tony Parisi are able to get into the ring and make the save.
Heenan leads Abby to the back, Heenan smiling, and Abby with a crazed look on his face!
THE FABULOUS FREEBIRDS: MICHAEL HAYES & TERRY GORDY beat FRED CURRY & GEORGE WEINGEROFF. Gordy wrestles most of the match for the ‘Birds, eventually getting the win after driving Curry down into the mat with a Powerbomb for the pinfall victory.
DINO BRAVO beats SWEDE HANSON. After a tough, back and forth match, Bravo gets the win by pinfall when, as Hanson charges at him in the corner, Bravo moves out of the way, and then rolls Hanson up for the 1, 2, 3.
Jack Reynolds and Dick the Bruiser talk about what happened earlier to Rocky Johnson. Reynolds says that Rocky has been taken for medical attention, the focus being on his ribs after those brutal chairshots from Abdullah. As a result, Abby and Bobby Heenan have been removed from the building. Apparently Abby didn’t want to go without putting up a fight, so some of Pittsburgh’s finest were brought in and the Butcher was forcibly removed.
THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS: BOBBY EATON & DENNIS CONDREY (w/ Jim Cornette) battle BRUNO SAMMARTINO JR & TONY PARISI to a Double DQ. After a wild, hard-hitting match, Sammartino has Eaton in a bearhug, when Jim Cornette hands his tennis racket to Dennis Condrey. Condrey comes into the ring and clocks Sammartino with the racket! This brings Parisi in, and he kicks Condrey in the stomach, grabs the racket, and bashes Condrey over the head with it! Since both teams used the weapon, the referee calls for the bell, and disqualifies both of them.
Reynolds and Bruiser then wrap things up, and Reynolds hypes next week’s show.
