Mark Lewin: “Last week I laid out an offer: I want to speak one on one with Ricky Johnson, and as a matter of fact to show I am on the square, I have asked Jonathan Boyd and Prince Curtis to step aside. I am right here, right now, a man of honor, Lordship, as Pacific Champion, asking Ricky Johnson to step up here, right now!
.

Lord James: “Well, it doesn’t appear he is coming. Perhaps we should go to the next match . . .

Mark: “Is that so? Well where do I begin?

“Ricky Johnson . . . .I beat your father more times than there are countries from Canada to Singapore?

“Ricky Johnson . . . .your father doesn’t believe that you can last 10 minutes with ME, a man in his forties, and that is why he is out here to protect you?

“OR how about this one . . . .Ricky . . . . your Dad couldn’t control himself
.
.
.

“ . . . .and now feels guilty and has to give you a career because HE IS MARRIED TO YOUR MOTHER?

A REPLAY OF THE LAST ANGLE BETWEEN MARK LEWIN AND ROCKY JOHNSON IS SHOWN

Lord James is with David Sammartino!

Lord James: “I understand Rocky Johnson hit the back of his head on a wall because of the attack by Prince Curtis, and was knocked out cold, but is now nursing the bump with an ice pack. Currently let’s go to David Sammartino!

Davis: “I’m glad to hear Rocky Johnson is going to be OK boy of boy Lord James that was a scary situation. But one thing I am NOT scared of is my legacy and that of my father. And I am here to ask, if not yet demand, Sammy Steamboat book me for 10/15 at Blaze at the Blaisdell! I’m not here to run away from the legacy of my father, I am here to honor it, and I plan to do that with a BIG win!

GREG GAGNE v BRETT SAWYER

During The match, Adrian Street and Miss Linda circle the ring! Gagne is clearly distracted and this allows Sawyer to score a few falls on him, but Gagne pins Sawyer near the ropes, and LOOK AT THIS, ADRIAN FLIES IN AND PLANTS A KISS ON HIM THEN LEAVES AND GAGNE JUMPS AROUND TRYING TO WIPE OFF THE KISS!

Lord Blears: “Such inappropriate behavior by Adrian Street!

Ricky: “MARK LEWIN I DON’T CARE WHAT MY DAD HAS TO SAY! HE HIT THE BACK OF HIS HEAD ON A WALL THANKS TO YOU, but he DOES deserve a title shot at you October 15! He’s not here to stop me so if all I have to do is last 10 minutes with you to get my Dad a title shot, LETS DO IT . . . . NEXT WEEK, RIGHT HERE ON TV!!!

Lord James: “Now now Ricky I know you are upset but is this wise?

Ricky: “JUST 10 MINUTES! I’m no rookie to this sport, Lord James, and while my Dad won’t admit this, winning that Pacific title means more than anything to him, and if I can help make that happen, I’LL PUT IT ALL ON THE LINE! MARK LEWIN?
