Don Coss is in the Crow's Nest...
COSS: For the second week in a row, we start the program with Los Diablos. And I don't mean to gloat, for the second time in a row, you men are coming off of a disappointing evening!
MANNY FERNANDEZ: (mockingly) You don't meant to gloat...what a bunch of crap! Look at that stupid grin on your ugly face! Before this show is over, two of your heroes are gonna be carried out on stretchers, Don Coss! We are sick and tired of this garbage up here in the Northwest! We're gonna...
GRAPPLER: Shut up, Manny! We're sick and tired of your big mouth!
FERNANDEZ: Whaaaat?
GRAPPLER: We've listened to you long enough! You talk a big game, but last week you cost us all of our matches and when you wrestled Billy Jack for his belt, you fell flat on your face!
FERNANDEZ: Brooksie, talk some sense into this fool!
BAD NEWS BROOKS: No, he's telling the truth, Manny!
FERNANDEZ: Thing! Abby! You guys can't be going along with this!
GRAPPLER: We're done with you! All of us!

Brooks nails the Bull with his dog chain and then holds him as the Real Thing tosses a fireball at Fernandez! The Ragin Bull collapses into a bloody, battered, and burnt heap!His former colleagues put the boots to Manny Fernandez!
COSS: Not even Manny Fernandez deserves this! These were the only friends he had and he needs help!
Stan Stasiak comes into the scene, wielding a chair!
STASIAK: You leave him alone! Do you understand me?
After a few more stomps, the heels back off!
COSS: Glad you were here, partner!
Fernandez struggles to his feet!
FERNANDEZ: You jerks are gonna pay for this! Payback will be hell, I promise you that! You mess with da Bull, ya get the horns!!!

Abdullah the Butcher & the Real Thing(w/the Grappler) vs. Cowboy Scott Casey & Wahoo McDaniel: An all out brawl!After about five minutes of action, Manny Fernandez runs in, swinging a chair at his former allies!the Grappler waves the Butcher and the Thing out of the ring and the heels retreat. There is a staredown between the Bull and the faces. It will take a lot for Fernandez to gain anybody's trust!

TV TITLE MATCH: Tom Prichard © vs. Superstar Bill Dundee: Prichard makes one of his first title defenses here tonight. This is a fast paced match. They look evenly matched. After seven minutes of exciting action, Prichard retains his belt by pinning the Superstar with a sunset flip.

COSS: We have a unique tag team Main Event this week: the Undisputed World Champion Dory Funk, Jr. will team up with the Canadian strongman Jos LeDuc against Ken Patera and PNW Champion Billy Jack Haynes. I'm joined by the World Champion. Mr. Funk, last week, you defended the title against Patera. Both LeDuc and Haynes got involved...
FUNK: That's a bit misleading, Don! I gave Ken Patera a wrestling lesson. Evidently, Patera and my longtime friend Jos LeDuc have a personal issue and LeDuc came out to make sure that Patera didn't use any illegal tactics as he is well known for doing. Then, Mr. Haynes, another recipient of one of my lessons, saw fit to get involved in my business! Tonight, LeDuc and myself are going to clean their clocks! Haynes and Patera are prime examples of million dollar bodies and ten cent brains! Jos LeDuc and your World's Heavyweight Champion will thrash these muscleheads here tonight on television!
COSS: It will be a great Main Event!
COMMERCIAL
Flamboyant Eric Embry(w/Exotic Adrian Street & Miss Linda) vs. Ricky Morton(w/Robert Gibson): Two of the quickest wrestlers in the Northwest go at it. Ricky seems a move ahead of Embry for most of the match and it frustrates Eric and Street. Street and Embry's advisor Superstar Bill Dundee makes his way to ringside and that seems to fire Embry up. Despite Embry's comeback, it looks like Ricky will win when he hits a missile dropkick! Street rolls in, but Robert enters, too, and dropkicks the Exotic One out of the ring. Morton pins Embry! Dundee tries to interfere, but Tom Prichard comes out and superkicks him! Miss Linda makes a move to enter the ring...Prichard grabs the mic....
PRICHARD: Miss Linda, darlin, you best stay away from Ricky and Robert and me! Y'see, we're real men and you ain't used to that!
Adrian Street is enraged! He wants to fight, but Dundee and Embry drag him away!
COMMERCIAL
Matt Borne & “Mad Dog” Buzz Sawyer (w/Brett “Hack” Sawyer) vs. the Bruise Brothers(w/Percy Pringle): Sawyer and Borne are out to avenge Hack Sawyer's broken arm! In the end, they do just that as Buzz pins Don Harris after a powerslam! Pringle attempts to get involved, but Brett clocks the manager with his cast!
COMMERCIAL
Iceman King Parsons vs. “Black Ninja” Kendo Nagasaki (w/Mr. Fuji): Nagasaki starts out gaining the advantage with his martial arts. Iceman fights back and looks like he will win after the butt bump! Instead Iceman wins via DQ as Mr. Fuji comes in and nails him with the cane! Iceman comes back and starts battering Fuji with rights and lefts! Akio Sato and Tarzan Goto run in and Iceman takes a beating until Ron Garvin and Bad Leroy Brown jump in to even the odds! The heels clear out leaving Brown, Parsons , & Garvin standing tall!
COSS: Before we go to the Main Event, Don Owen has a special announcement...
OWEN: Ladies and gentlemen, we have previously had two spectacular cards at the Memorial Coliseum here in Portland. Both were spectacular and drew record crowds! On Thanksgiving night, we will present another Spectacular at the Memorial Coliseum! I'll announce many great matches in the weeks to come!
COSS: Something to look forward to, ladies and gentlemen!

Spivey lifts Haynes like he's going to bodyslam him...Spivey instead drives Haynes' spine into the steel ringpost!

Funk locks in his legendary bearhug and Haynes has no choice but to concede the fall. Funk and LeDuc go up 1-0!
Second fall: Per the rules, Billy Jack, as battered as he is, must start the fall. LeDuc and Funk dish out a bunch of punishment, but Haynes flies into a rage and makes the mothe of all comebacks! Billy beats both of his opponents from pillar to post! Funk attempts to sneak his title belt into the ring, but Patera intercepts him! Patera bashes LeDuc in the face with the strap and Billy drops a leg on the Canadian strongman and gets the duke!

Patera and Haynes will win the fall and match, but Spivey has left Billy Jack for dead in the middle of the ring!
