NON-TITLE MATCH
MARK LEWIN /Jonathan Boyd V RICKY JOHNSON
Ricky makes a great account of himself, but a more experienced Lewin gets the sleeper on Ricky at 6:00 and puts Ricky to sleep, BUT HE DOESN’T LET GO! COME ON THIS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF A LESS EXPERIENCED OPPONENT, WAIT!
.
.
.
.
.
.
ITS ROCKY JOHNSON, WHO SUNDAYS LEWIN, WHO LET’S GO OF THE HOLD BUT ITS PRINCE CURTIS, HE AND LEWIN PUT THE BOOTS TO ROCKY AND THROW HIM OUT OF THE RING, Mark Lewin directs traffic, and LOOK AT THIS, OH NO! LEWIN HAS RICKY IN THE PILEDRIVER, PRINCE CURTIS GRABS RICKY’S TOES AND PUSHES DOWN:
.
.
.
.
PILEDRIVER!!!
PILEDRIVER!!!
PILEDRIVER!!!
RICKY IS OUT COLD! ROCKY IS OUT OF THE RING, STILL RECOVERING! SAMMY STEAMBOAT COMES OUT WITH THE BABYFACE JOBBER DRESSING ROOM AND REFEREES, AND DIRECT LEWIN AND HIS BROOD OUT OF THE RING! FANS! THIS IS A DISGRACE! WE WILL BE RIGHT BACK!

BREAK
.
.
.
.

Lord James: “Fans, shocking actions we just saw, let’s look at what we just saw before the previous commercial break!
The Lewin-Johnsons-Curtis angle is replayed.
“And right after THAT we have new footage, where medics arrived to the ring, and put a neck brace around on Ricky Johnson as you can see here, and carried him on a stretcher outside the ring and to a nearby hospital.
Lord: “Rocky Johnson did not need a stretcher; he was helped to the dressing room where is recuperating. Absolutely shocking actions on the part of Mark Lewin indeed, actions, in my opinion this is behavior unbecoming of a champion!

Sammy Steamboat is here with Lord James Blears for commentary and is Blears is suspecting we will hear about actions to be taken against Mark Lewin.
Sammy: “That’s right Lord James, and after this match, let’s just say Mr. Lewin’s title reign is in jeopardy. He better pay CLOSE attention to what I have to say.

BRODY BROTHERS V KARATE KIDS
The Brodys destroy the masked tag team, and after the match put the boots to them after the bell, the ref who was there for the Lewin-Ricky Johnson debacle has had ENOUGH, GOOD FOR HIM, HE REVERSES THE DECISION, AND DQS THE BRODYS AND THEY ARE ANGERED AND KEEP STOMPING THEIR HAPLESS FOES!

ROCKY JOHNSON WITH A CHAIR!
HE CLEANS HOUSE AND IS RED-ASSED AND STORMS OVER TO LORD JAMES AND STEAMBOAT!
Rocky thrusts the chair into the camera and points to Sammy: “DON’T DO IT, MR. STEAMBOAT, I BEG YOU, DON’T SUSPEND MARK LEWIN OF HIS TITLE! In a few minutes, I am about to visit the hospital to see my SON, MY SON, WHO MIGHT NEVER WALK AGAIN AFTER WHAT MARK LEWIN DID!
“Lewin, you took advantage of an over-eager KID! You got your way, you won in under 10 minutes, THERE WAS NO REASON TO KEEP THE SLEEPER ON HIM AND PILEDRIVE HIM! You want to get back at ME for trying to help my son? COME AFTER ME, MARK LEWIN! As for the Brody Brothers, I don’t have any love for their style of wrestling, but I didn’t have any beef with them UNTIL I JUST SAW THEM DO TO THOSE TWO KIDS WHAT LEWIN DID TO MY SON! Mark Lewin, I will wrestle anyone, DO ANYTHING YOU WANT, YOU NAME YOUR ‘SACRIFICE’ NEXT WEEK MARK LEWIN, I WANT THAT 2/3 FALLS MATCH OCTOBER 15!
Sammy: “ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, Rocky, I’ll hold off let us see what Mark Lewin says next week . . . and I will advise Mr. Lewin and his manager, Jonathan Boyd, that after today’s actions they best come up with a diplomatic response!
ROCKY THROWS DOWN THE CHAIR AND STORMS OFF!
Lord: “Well, ladies and gentlemen, I apologize, we certainly did not anticipate such an absolute boiling over of emotions this week on Championship Wrestling!
Sammy: “I had NO idea how much bad blood there has been building over the decades between Rocky Johnson and Mark Lewin, I do hope we can come up with a match between them for Oct 15 that will settle this dispute once and for all, I also will be announcing the entire Blaze at Blaisdell card next week!
Lord: “Well, I think the best thing right now is to cool the combustible temperature in the studio, so speaking of Blaze, let’s look at this footage of Jimmy Snuka’s All-Pacific Tag Team Championship partner against the awesome tag team of One Man Gang and King Kong Bundy: DON MURACO!
