Taped live on 11/27/87 at the Portland Sports Arena in Portland, Oregon to air at 11 PM on KPTV and an edited tape of this show airs in syndication as “Big Time Wrestling” the next week on stations throughout Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and British Columbia.
Announcers: Don Coss & Stan Stasiak

SD “Special Delivery” Jones vs. CW Bergstrom: Coss and Stasiak talk about how long SD lasted in the Bunkhouse Brawl on Thanksgiving night. These two men both hear cheers this week and attempt to wrestle scientifically. Tempers flare a few times and, eventually, Bergstrom works as a subtle heel. It does him no good, though, as SD gets the pin after a sunset flip.

COSS: I'm here in the Crow's Nest with a great one, the legendary Wahoo McDaniel. Wahoo, in tonight's main event, you have challenged Dangerous Dan Spivey. Spivey's Undisputed World Championship wion't be at stake, but this match isn't about championships. This is personal!
WAHOO: Billy Jack Haynes is like a son or a brother to me, I really can't explain what he means to me! A few weeks ago, Spivey beat me nearly to death to try and goad Billy into a match! I was hurting and , I'm honest enough to admit, just a little bit scared!
I advised Billy to stay away from that jerk! But because of me, BECAUSE OF ME, Don Coss, he took the match!And for those of you, who didn't make it out to the Coliseum, Billy Jack got hurt! And he's gonna be out of wrestling for a month or two.
COSS: How is Billy? I understand you have a piece of video on that...
WAHOO: Well, that powerbomb that Spivey uses could injure a man permanently if he does it in the ring. He gave it to Billy on the floor of the Coliseum! He was trying to end Billy's career! Billy is hurt, but you know what kind of shape Billy is in! What could finish an ordinary man, he can bounce back from! Sooner or later, he'll be back! Tonight, I'm not beaten down and I'm not scared! I'm coming to hurt you, Spivey!
COSS: I understand that the footage you're about to see was shot a few hours after the Thanksgiving Spectaular...
WAHOO: That's right, Don.
VTR:
Billy Jack Haynes is lying in a hospital bed, wearing a neck brace and a bandage on his head. Wahoo is dressed in street clothes and is at his bedside.
WAHOO: I'm here in Billy jack's hospital room. He's in pain and I've told him that he doesn't need to speak if he doesn't feel up to it. He insists on speaking to his millions of fans...
BILLY JACK: First off, I want to apologize for letting everybody down tonight. I can't believe I came up short and didn't win the World Championship for you fans...
WAHOO: That's a load of crap, Billy!
BILLY JACK, No, Wahoo, it's the truth! He beat me like a dog right here in my hometown! I'll be back soon, though! As soon as the doc releases me, I'm gonna hit that gym and I will be back! I have to defend the PNW Title before December 18th and I'll make that date! Wahoo, you tell Don Owen to book that match and I'll be there!
WAHOO: Billy, I'm with you every step of the way, but don't try to come back too soon!
BILLY JACK: Wahoo, I have to do this! I can't let that big stooge beat me and get byu with it!
WAHOO: Folks, he's been given a bunch of pain killers and he's not really himself, but I really do believe he will be back. We'll try to have this cameraman shooting video to give you updates on how he's doing and, like I said, I'll be with him every step of the way!
COMMERCIAL
STASIAK: I'm joined by Undisputed World Champion “Dangerous” Dan Spivey. Dan, I held a World Title once. I had a devastating manuver called the heart punch. I never once tried to injure a man for life! What was your motivation for what you did to Haynes and on Thanksgiving, of all nights?
Spivey has a large, wet towel, he mockingly sobs and wrings water out of the towel!
SPIVEY: That was such a touching video! That was right up there with Saint Jude's begging for money and them commercials of starving kids in Ethiopia! Billy Jack, you've got soft, punk! The Billy Jack I came up with would have never got himself stretchered out of his hometown arena or got on camera and told sob stories with a has been drunken Indian! As for you, Stasiak, you did have a World title belt once! You lost in almost before you won it! That silly heart punch must have not been very good-everybody you hit with it got up and walked away! HAW! HAW! HAW! (spikes towel on floor)
STASIAK: You don't want to find out about the Stasiak heart punch, I promise you that! You might have to pay for your actions sooner than later! There's an angry Choctaw Chickasaw Chief here this week and he's out for blood!
SPIVEY: Poor old broke down Wahoo! I sent him outta here in an ambulance a few weeks back, didn't I? Some guys never learn!
STASIAK: You jumped him from behind then, but you have to face him this week!
SPIVEY: Just like I faced Haynes! Just like I'll face any of 'em: Iceman, Garvin, the Bull, Patera, Bad Leroy Brown, you set 'em, I'll knock 'em down. Old man, you're even welcome to take a turn!
STASIAK: I'm retired, young man. Ten years ago, it might have been a different story!
SPIVEY: Different story, same ending! (sarcastically) Get well soon, Billy Jack!(walks away)
STASIAK: I guess men like Lou Thesz and Bruno Sammartino spoiled me- that is not my idea of a World Champion, folks!

Ricky Ataki and Billy Anderson warm up in the ring.
COSS: Portland's first ever Bunkhouse Brawl is history and the winner is up next!
“Tennesee Stud” Ron Fuller leads his latest protege to the ring. Fans usually attempt to make contact with wrestlers during their entrances, but they give the Master of Pain a wide berth and seem genuinely frightened by him!
Master of Pain (w/”Tennessee Stud”Ron Fuller) vs. Ricky Ataki & Billy Anderson: With the Stud cheering him on, the Master devastates both men! Both opponents are victims of chokeslams. Then, the Master of Pain stacks them like cord wood and pins both men simaltaneously!
Then, we cut to the Crow's Nest where Don Coss stands by with the unmasked Grappler. Grappler's back is turned to the camera...
COSS: I suppose you don't intend to show your face again tonight....
GRAPPLER: Don Coss, I had a good reason not to reveal my identity and it's really none of your business what that reason is! After Manny Fernandez used evry dirty trick in the book to steal our match, I took off my mask and, yeah, the Stud covered my face! I thought I'd just put the mask back on and act like nothing ever happened, but that shyster Don Owen had slipped a clause in the contract. If I lost, I'd have to stay unmasked for the rest of the time in the Northwest. If the Bull had lost, he would have had to stay bald. I told the Stud that I really didn't want to let these rubes up here in Oregon know my tru identity! My friend Kendo had a solution...
The Grappler turns to face the camera and his face his painted!
GRAPPLER: This is the new and improved Grappler, baby! Masks are old hat! All over the world, wrestlers are painting their faces! It's the hottest trend and you know I'm always in style, Don Coss!
Ron Fuller enters the Crow's Nest with Jimmy Golden, Abdullah the Butcher, Killer Brooks, Kendo Nagasaki, and the Master of Pain!
FULLER: Speaking of new and improved, look at my Stud's Stable! Gentleman Jimmy Golden arrived and he brought the awesome Master of Pain with him! I did a bit of investigative work with a forensic accountant and it became obvious that Mr. Fuji was outright stealing most of Kendo Nagasaki's money! I am too moral and righteous to stand by and see an honorable man like Nagasaki cheated, so I stepped in and invited the Black Ninja to the Stable! Of course, Abullah and Bad News Brooks, two of the best ever, are always welcome! We sent the so called “Real Thing” back to New Zealand. He was a stumblingblock and a laughingstock! Now, I have the greatest organization in our great sport! Danny Spivey, Rock and Roll Express, polish up them belts, boys! Billy Jack, when you get out of traction, son, you polish up your belt, too! We want all the titles! And I said from the get go that there are two men I want eliminated-Manny Fernandez and Ronnie Garvin! That still stands, boys! Maybe you two can reserve a bed next door to Billy Jack!
COSS: Later on this week's program, you have your chance to get at Ron Garvin because Bad News Brooks has a match with him!
BROOKS: Boss, I promise you that I'll take him down! Garvin, you think you're tough? You ain't seen tough until you've went up against the Killer!
FULLER: Yessiree! (lights a cigar) the future is bright! Very bright indeed!
COMMERCIAL
The Grappler (w/ Fuller)vs. Brick Bronsky: Bronsky is quite capable, but the unmasked Grappler seems to be on a mission! With the Stud cheering him on, the formerly masked man gets the duke after a Samoan drop.
VTR:
Superstar Bill Dundee, dressed in Elvis style jumpsuit, is standing in a locker room, mic in hand.
DUNDEE: Hey, everybody, the Superstar here. I been laying low a few weeks now. Kinda regrouping and making plans for what to do next. One thing I saw that bothered me was Thanksgiving night. Some genius thought it was a good idea to put an old buddy of mine in a match where you had to climb a pole! (Jos LeDuc walks in) This man is known for cutting down trees, not climbing trees! I said, “Jos, what ya need is some good management! Somebody to look out forn ya!” Who better than the Superstar, Jack?
LEDUC: Superstar, old friend, I think you and me are gonna do some big things up here!
DUNDEE: Kenny Patera, you ain't got the last laugh, brother, not by a long shot! And I got another bloke coming in! LeDuc's seen him-tell'em what ya think of him, Jos!
LEDUC: He's mean and nasty, even more mean and nasty than I am! He's gonna do a lot of damage around here! Patera! Ron Garvin! Wahoo! You all better watch out!
DUNDEE: I can't wait to get up in the mornin, 'cause I get better lookin each day!
COMMERCIAL
Jos LeDuc & Superstar Bill Dundee vs. Brickhouse Brown & Ken Patera: Two unique combinations go at it here. Each team has a member who replies on speed and a powerhouse. LeDuc and Patera end up brawling all over the arena so it comes down to the Superstar and Brickhouse. Brown gives Dundee all he wants, but Billy comes out on top, pinning his opponent after knocking him out with the aid of a Tennessee chain.
COMMERCIAL
Ron Garvin vs. Bad News Brooks(w/Fuller): this is a hard hitting brawl. In the end, Garvin gets the win with a wrestling move, a sunset flip off the top rope.
COMMERCIAL
COSS: Before our main event, I'm going to speak with former tag team champions Buzz Sawyer & Matt Borne. Guys, the Rock and Roll Express took advantage of the absence of Hack Sawyer and his plaster cast. They took back the belts on Thanksgiving!
BORNE:..and you sound a wee bit too happy about that, Don Coss!
SAWYER: Don't worry 'bout my brother, he's headed back home to Florida to let that arm heal up. He'll be back and Matt and me will have the belts back and it won't be too long!
BORNE: You people need to shut up with this “Rock and Roll” chant! We get it, you like skinny little punks who watch too much MTV and it rots their pea brains! We've been here a lot longer than those jerks! I was born and raised here! Where's your loyalty? You'll feel awfully stupid when we take our belts back and run Ricky and Robert outta the Northwest! Then, you won't have any choice but the Maniac and the Mad Dog!
SAWYER: (mockingly chanting) Maniac and Mad Dog! Maniac and Mad Dog!
BORNE: Only a matter of time! Thanksgiving was a fluke, pure and simple.
COSS: The Main Event is next!
MAIN EVENT: “Dangerous” Dan Spivey vs. Wahoo McDaniel (this is a non-title bout):
First fall: At first, Spivey dishes out a vicious beating to his legendary opponent. As everybody knows, though, Wahoo is in the match as long as he can throw a chop! Wahoo comes roaring back, laying in a series of vicious chops to Spivey. Finally, it looks like Spivey gets desperate as he throws Wahoo over the top rope and gets disqualified. Wahoo is up one fall to zero!
Between falls, we go to Coss in the Crow's Nest...
COSS: Congratulations to these guys: Ricky & Robert, the Rock and Roll Express! New PNW Tag titleholders! You beat a tough team and they are coming after you!
ROBERT: That's alright, me and my partner have never been too hard to find! Any two wrestlers in the world are welcome to come after these belts! With these nice folks on our side, I don't see us losing the title anytime soon!
RICKY: That's right, brother! First of all, I hope everybody had a nice Thanksgiving! Before I go any farther, I wanna send the Rock and Roll's best wishes to Billy Jack Haynes. Billy, if you're watching, you see Wahoo fighting in your honor and doing really good! We're all pulling for ya, brother! Now, to Buzz & Matt: you guys needed Brett's help to win the belts and you needed Brett's help to keep then! When they barred Brett and that cast of his, I knew it was our best shot! We came through in a big way! And, people, please don't listen to Matt Borne out here! Never stop chanting and cheering for Robert and myself! We need you, we love you, we can't do it without you! Rock and Roll is here to stay, 'cause it lasts forever, baby! WHOOOO!
Second Fall: Up one fall, Wahoo wrestles very aggressively and , maybe, a bit recklessly. After dominating the action, Wahoo runs into a boot to the face from Spivey and the champ pins him to tie it up at a fall apiece.
Between falls, we have a VTR.
VTR:
A grizzled man sits on a chair on the front porch of an antebellum home. He begins to speak...
WRIGHT: Good evening. I'm sure many of you don't recognize me. I am Ron Wright. In places like Tennesee and Kentucky, my name is synonomous with professional wrestling! If I might say so, with great humility, I am the greatest wrestling manager of all time! Now, I ain't never been north of the Mason Dixon or west of the Mississippi, so I may not be as well known as some managers. My dear personal friends Ron Fuller and Jimmy Golden have told me that the Northwest is where the action is, so that's where I'm headed! I recently went on a trip to the South Pacific and that is where I saw the most amazing tag team I have ever laid eyes on! I'm flying them in to the States this week and next week, we'll be there in Portland! Mr. Owen, sir, if you want to make any money promoting our great sport, you'll have some opponents for my team! We're goin straight to the top!
Third fall: It takes a few minutes for Wahoo to get back in the swing of things after being kicked in the head. It looks like Spivey will win in straight falls as he dominates the action, but McDaniel gets fired up and makes another comeback! The turning point comes when mcDaniel knocks Spivey into the ropes and Spivey gets tied up in the ropes! Sandy Barr orders Wahoo to let up so he can get Spivey untangled. Wahoo isn't in any mood to let up and he just chops away at the trapped Spivey! Finally, after three warnings, Sandy disqualifies McDaniel, giving Spivey the fall and the match! The fans boo, but Barr was really left with no choice. After the bell, Wahoo continues to chop Spivey until he becomes disentangled and falls to the concrete floor. Don Owen has the mic...
OWEN: Folks, we just saw Wahoo give the World Champion the fight of his life! I'm putting in a call to the Championship Committee and petition them for Wahoo to get a title match with Spivey here next week!
Spivey doesn't look happy! He throws several chairs into the ring and one of them nearly hits Don Owen!
OWEN: You do that again and I'll petition for you to be stripped of your title instead!
Spivey stalks away, quitting while he is ahead!
DARK MATCHES:
In a non-title match, Tom Prichard pins TV Champion Exotic Adrian Street with a backslide. During this bout, Miss Linda is handcuffed to Wendi Richter at ringside. They have a catfight, naturally, with Wendi getting the best of it.
Six Man Eliminatrion tag: Abdullah the Butcher, Kendo Nagasaki, & Jimmy Golden vs. Iceman King Parsons, Dutch Mantel, & “Ragin Bull” Manny Fernandez:
*Abdullah pins Mantel after the Sudanese Meat Cleaver elbow drop.
*Abdullah counted out after Iceman butt bumps him out of the ring.
*Nagasaki and Parsons both counted out.
*Golden pins Fernandez after Fuller slugs Fernandez with a roll of coins in his fist.
STUD STABLE WINS!!!
PNW Tag Champions Rock and Roll Express beat “Mad Dog” Buzz Sawyer & ”Maniac” Matt Borne to retain the belts. Gibson pins Borne after the double dropkick. This is a wild one where all four men bleed.

If I might say so, with great humility, I am the greatest wrestling manager of all time! Now, I ain't never been north of the Mason Dixon or west of the Mississippi, so I may not be as well known as some managers. My dear personal friends Ron Fuller and Jimmy Golden have told me that the Northwest is where the action is, so that's where I'm headed! I recently went on a trip to the South Pacific and that is where I saw the most amazing tag team I have ever laid eyes on! I'm flying them in to the States this week and next week, we'll be there in Portland! Mr. Owen, sir, if you want to make any money promoting our great sport, you'll have some opponents for my team! We're goin straight to the top!
Third fall: It takes a few minutes for Wahoo to get back in the swing of things after being kicked in the head. It looks like Spivey will win in straight falls as he dominates the action, but McDaniel gets fired up and makes another comeback! The turning point comes when mcDaniel knocks Spivey into the ropes and Spivey gets tied up in the ropes! Sandy Barr orders Wahoo to let up so he can get Spivey untangled. Wahoo isn't in any mood to let up and he just chops away at the trapped Spivey! Finally, after three warnings, Sandy disqualifies McDaniel, giving Spivey the fall and the match! The fans boo, but Barr was really left with no choice. After the bell, Wahoo continues to chop Spivey until he becomes disentangled and falls to the concrete floor. Don Owen has the mic...
OWEN: Folks, we just saw Wahoo give the World Champion the fight of his life! I'm putting in a call to the Championship Committee and petition them for Wahoo to get a title match with Spivey here next week!
Spivey doesn't look happy! He throws several chairs into the ring and one of them nearly hits Don Owen!
OWEN: You do that again and I'll petition for you to be stripped of your title instead!
Spivey stalks away, quitting while he is ahead!
DARK MATCHES:
In a non-title match, Tom Prichard pins TV Champion Exotic Adrian Street with a backslide. During this bout, Miss Linda is handcuffed to Wendi Richter at ringside. They have a catfight, naturally, with Wendi getting the best of it.

STUD STABLE WINS!!!
PNW Tag Champions Rock and Roll Express beat “Mad Dog” Buzz Sawyer & ”Maniac” Matt Borne to retain the belts. Gibson pins Borne after the double dropkick. This is a wild one where all four men bleed.
