GREG GAGNE def JOHNNIE STEWART
After the match, ITS ADRIAN STREET WHO SUNDAYS GAGNE, puts him in a sleeper, and Linda hands Street a makeup kit, and he paints lipstick all over Gagne’s face! The ref chases Street out but not before Gagne is HUMILIATED on national television!

Lord James interviews Jonathan Boyd and Prince Curtis, and Boyd ballyhoos Curtis’s match v Hiro Matsuda 10/15 . . . . ITS ROCKY JOHNSON WHO IS HERE WITH A CHAIR! THE HEELS RUN OFF!

Lord James: “GOOD GRIEF, ROCKY JOHNSON, SOME DECORUM SIR!

Rocky: “There will be no decorum Lord James Blears until Mark Lewin gets his BUTT OUT HERE and tells me what I have to do to get that Pacific Title Match October 15! I’m here ALL DAY LONG, LEWIN!

Lord: “All right Rocky, I understand your anger after what happened to Ricky, let me see what I can do to make that happen, lets go to the ring!
.

AFA THE WILD SAMOAN/ w Sika V SMASHER BRODY w/Crusher Brody
This quickly turns into an ill-conceived idea to settle the war of words between these two tag teams as the match features several episodes of outside interference and outside the ring fighting between the two seconds, things break out into a four way brawl which has to be stopped by the referees and the jobber dressing room! Fans it is clear, both tag teams must meet: OCTOBER 15 AT BLAZE AT THE BLAISDELL as this match is a NO-CONTEST!
.

Rocky: “Lord James? Sammy Steamboat? Despite Mark Lewin trying to CRIPPLE my son last week, here I am, no chairs, I’m calm, all I ask is an audience with the Pacific Champion to find out what it is I must do to get a title shot at the Blaisdell!

Lord James: “All right, all right Rocky, we can all understand your anger but there can be no more anarchy, allow this man Sammy Steamboat to see if he can come up with an agreement!

Lord James: “Very well then, it appears we have reached an accord. I and KHON have been promised by all parties that there would be no physicality in this segment, I am joined by the President of Championship Wrestling from Honolulu Sammy Steamboat, Pacific Heavyweight Champion Mark Lewin with his manager Jonathan Boyd, and a top challenger for that title, Rocky Johnson.

Lewin and Boyd enter the set first, followed by Johnson, escorted by Steamboat, and Johnson looks like he is crawling out of his skin!

Lord: “Now gentlemen, I must emphasize, there can be no chaos on the set. Rocky Johnson, I will give you the floor.

Rocky: “I’ll take the floor, I’ll take the floor all right Lord James Blears. Mark Lewin you took advantage of my son last week and put him in the HOSPITAL for no good reason! You beat him in less than 10 minutes fair and square, and yes, if he failed to last 10 minutes, you had the right to not face me for your Pacific title Oct 15. But you took it too far, you piledrove him! My son did all you asked, and you double-crossed him, as a MAN you at least owe me a fight, Mark Lewin.

“Mark Lewin name the ‘sacrifice’. This is about you and me, not you and my son Ricky!

Mark rubs his chin and laughs, then calmly calls for the microphone.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

“Why Rocky Johnson I thought you would never ask.

“Of COURSE you can have the match. 2/3 falls, 60 minute time limit, October 15 at Blaze at the Blaisdell for this title belt. Why not?
.
.
.
.
.
.
“IF you put YOUR career on the line if you lose!

Lord James: “Career? If I might interject . . . . .


Rocky: “MARK LEWIN, you have a DEAL!

Mark: “Great, and I will ask Mr. Steamboat here to draw up the contracts.
.
.
.
.
.

“Oh, and one more thing?

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

“If you lay one finger on me between now and October 15 at our match . . . . .. .IT’S CANCELLED! ANNOUNCE IT SAMMY STEAMBOAT!

Lord: “MARK LEWIN HOW DARE YOU BARK ORDERS AT THIS MAN!

Mark: “ORDER IT SAMMY STEAMBOAT, OR THERE’S NO MATCH AND THE CARD OCTOBER 15 IS RUINED!

Sammy: “MARK LEWIN, DON’T YOU DICTATE TO ME . .
.
.
.
.
Rocky: “Mr. Steamboat, its OK, I AGREE TO EVERYTHING!

Mark: “That’s great! Hey Rocky, right after this I’m going to buy some straws so your ILLEGITIMATE SON CAN EAT HIS LUNCH HAHAHAHAHA!

Rocky coils up!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Mark: “What’s it like Rocky Johnson to know you weren’t there to protect your illegitimate son last week? HAHAHAHA!!!

RICKY IS RED HOT, BUT HE CAN’T TOUCH MARK, BUT WANTS ASS, BUT SAMMY AND A COUPLE REFEREE COMES OUT TO STOP HIM!

Lord James: "In the name of decency and the Pacific Heavyweight Championship, Mr. Lewin I implore you to stop this!

Mark LEANS HIS CHIN IN and even Jonathan Boyd has to try and restrain his man!

“Come on Rocky Johnson, you know you want to take a shot, go ahead!

.

.

.

.

" . . . . . . . ..  DO IT FOR RICKY, BE A MAN, FINALLY BE THE FATHER YO NEVER WERE!

ROCKY IS HOLDING HIS FISTS, GRITTING HIS TEETH AND STARING AT THE CEILING SHAKING HIS HEAD “NO!”

Lord: “JONATHAN BOYD, GET MARK LEWIN OFF THIS SET, IMMEDIATELY OR I WILL DEMAND THE CAMERAS ARE TURNED OFF, FANS, LET US REMOVE MARK LEWIN FROM THE SET, GO TO BREAK, AND RETURN TO SOME DECENCY!
.
.
.

Lord James: “Fans, I apologize for Mark Lewin’s undignified comments in the previous segment, I believe the best we can hope for is Rocky Johnson removes him from his title perch October 15 at Blaze at the Blaisdell and chases him out of Hawaii!

Let us take a look at the updated card for that night!

Lord James: “Viewers, for a second week in a row, there has been too much tension, and now too much unwarranted violence today, so regardless of the scheduled card this hour I will NOT call any more live wrestling matches. Instead, I have asked the producers to load this reel of JIMMY SNUKA in action. Mr. Snuka and Don Muracco defend the All-Asian Tag Team championships versus King Kong Bundy and One Man Gang managed by King Curtis October 15 at Blaze at the Blaisdell. Let’s take a look at that footage right now in progress:
