“NOW . . . BEHOOOOOOOLD the offer, Rocky Johnson! Then let’s ask if you REALLY have what it takes to earn a chance at . . .MARK LEWIN!
Lewin: “Rocky Johnson . . you asked last week what it would take for you to earn a 2/3 falls match for this title belt. I know you and I have battled across the Pacific for decades, but now it will come down to this . . .I have always been your superior . .so if you are asking what sacrifice it will take for you to get one more time match against me?

SAWDI SUDAN + JERRY BLACKWELL w/King Curtis V DENNY BROWN + JOEY MAGGS
During the match Siva Afi and Super Sakalia bring out chairs and join Lord James on commentary, and King Curtis does not appreciate their presence!
Blackwell 747s both foes and Sudan and him exit the ring and beeline towards the announce desk, and Sakalia and Afi throw off their headsets and they are belly to belly face to face with the heels until the referees, Sammy Steamboat, and other jobbers break them off as we go to a break!
We have a lot of time so Lord James speaks with Afi and Sakalia!
Afi: “That’s what I thought, Lord James, these guys are good at beating talented but smaller guys like Denny Brown because they are bullies, but when they have to face us, they have to use the officials to stop them. Sammy Steamboat you’ve seen all you need to see, let’s make this a deal for October 15---- the fans WANT TO SEE US VERSUS SAWDI SUDAN AND BLACKWELL AT BLAZE AT BLAISDELL!

Greg Gagne joins Lord James Blears as Jack Armstrong waits in the ring for him:
“Its been a few weeks, Lord James Blears, and just like Siva Afi and Super Sakalia, two men I respect very much, Greg Gagne is ready to prove he is his own man and hopefully if I can defeat this Jack Armstrong fellow, trust me a very well respected veteran in this sport, right here on Championship Wrestling from Hawaii, broadcast all over the world on SCORE/FNN, I can prove to Sammy Steamboat I am indeed worthy of a big match 10/15 at Blaze at the Blaisdell and prove once and for all that I AM my own man!

David Sammartino: “You know I just heard from Greg Gagne as we all did, and I too as a son of a World champion can understand his motivation for being here. I have a slightly different approach, however. I knew I could never emerge from my father’s shadow because. . . he is Bruno Sammartino! I’m not here to run away from his legacy, I’m here to HONOR it. I cannot control who my Dad is . . .all I can do is keep working hard, improve my in ring skills, and whatever success comes my way will be my own. And whatever Mr. Steamboat sees worthy of me to compete for, I will always give it 110%! I love being in Hawaii, I hope I can get the support of the fans, and let’s see what happens!
