Commentary: Lee Marshall & Magnum TA
Interviewer: Boni Blackstone
Ring Announcer: Mark Lowrance
VTR OPENING:
As the music plays, we see footage of Terry Funk and Big Van Vader making their entrances at CHRISTMAS CHAOS. We see Funk scoring the pin to win the World Title! Then, we see the Moondogs in action! We see “Megabucks” Michael Rotunda and Missy Hyatt making their entrance! Sgt. Slaughter waving Old Glory! Kevin Von Erich hitting a flying bodypress! Butch Reed hitting a shoulderblock off the top rope! Bad News Brown hitting a ghetto blaster! The Freebirds executing a Bamm Bamm Slam! Mil Mascaras hitting a flying bodypress! Chris Adams nailing a superkick!
MARSHALL: Magnum TA, we are here at the site of some of your greatest victories!
MAGNUM: Absolutely, Stagger Lee! Back in the old Mid-South Wrestling territory, this was one of our biggest venues! I had some good times in this ring we’re standing in front of right now!
MARSHALL: We have some great action to get us started!
PERRO AGUAYO & EL SAMURAI VS. GEORGE SOUTH & GENE LIGON: Two outstanding international stars team up in our opener. Aguayo and Samurai dominate the action and Perro puts South away with a Samoan drop. Magnum says he is really looking forward to Aguayo vs. Mil Mascaras at the WINTER WARFARE pay per view!
VTR:
We see Yukon John Nord sitting on a sofa, wearing a neck brace…
NORD: John Studd, you know that I am the strongest man in the UWA! That’s why every time we meet in a test of strength with cash on the line, you and Humperdink have the House of Humperdink standing by to interfere! Last week, you guys did this to me (points at neck brace).
WINTER WARFARE is only 8 days away, but I’ll be ready to go! I went to Bill Watts and told him about the way we settle things in the lumber camps up North! They call it a Canadian Lumberjack Fight! Ten lumberjacks form a circle around the two men who are fighting with these! (holds up a belt) Somebody tries to run away, he gets lashed! Somebody interferes, he gets lashed! I get to pick five men and Studd gets to pick five! This is how men settle a dispute, Studd!You might need a neck brace, too, Big John!

TITO SANTANA, MIL MASCARAS, & GENTLEMAN CHRIS ADAMS VS. IRON MIKE SHARPE, DON BASS, & KEN WAYNE: All three of the faces have big matches coming up at WINTER WARFARE, but they had better not look past their veteran opponents tonight! During the match, Mil’s adversary , Perro Aguayo takes a seat at ringside to do a bit of scouting. Tito pins Wayne after a flying forearm. Then, the winners join Boni Blackstone.
BONI: Here are three of the most popular wrestlers in the world! All three of you have a big night coming up on February 20th at WINTER WARFARE on pay per view. Mil, you take on one of your country’s best, Perro Aguayo. He’s obviously taking the match very seriously!
MIL: He is a great wrestler. He has a personal issue with me for some reason. I will do my best. People all over the world will be watching and cheering me on. I will not let them down!
BONI: Chris, you World Junior Heavyweight Title is on the line against former champion Dean Malenko. This match is contested under British rules…
ADAMS: That’s right, Boni! Ten 5 minute rounds and the match goes until one man gets two falls or one knockout! Dean Malenko, you’re a great former champion, but you’re the former champion because I beat you for the belt! This is the type of match I grew up wrestling! You’d better be ready, because you’ll be in my world that night in Dallas!
BONI: Last week, Tito, I think you shocked Missy Hyatt with the news that Baby Doll will be in your corner that night!
TITO: Rotunda, I’ve been telling you to fight like a man! Give me a rematch where you leave that interfering woman at home! Well, you wouldn’t listen and now, I’m fighting fire with fire! Baby Doll is gonna be all over Missy if she tries to get involved and that Americab Title is coming back where it belongs! ARRIBA!
BONI: Wrestling fans, call your cable provider ASAP to make sure that WINTER WARFARE is avail;able in your area!

HAYES: No big deal, Sweet Bon Bon! I’ve kicked his tail in Big D before and I’ll do it again! He can pack that arena with his goat roper friends and family, he can even have his decrepit old mom and pop sitting in ringside seats, and it won’t help!

BONI: I’m joined by Kevin Von Erich. Kevin, I’m sure you heard what Michael Hayes had to say earlier…
KEVIN: It really doesn’t matter what he says, does it? Matches are won and lost in the ring, Hayes! This ain’t a talking contest! Yeah, you and your brothers are really tough! And I’m sure you’ll all three be there at Reunion, won’t you? Well, lemme give you something to think about: I might not be alone myself!

REED: That’s right and at the pay per view, Ranger Ross,Sgt. Slaughter, and me will take on both Russians and the Sheik in an elimination match! You three are going down, one by one! Boris, you goofy looking Russian, you better not wave that communist flag at me or I might just stick it where the sun don’t shine and the phone won’t ring!
