Standby St. Louis for action. You've got a ringside seat for the excitement of professional wrestling! This is KDNL-TV All-Star Wrestling!



Hi again everybody. This is Kevin Wall. Welcome to another exciting edition of All-Star Wrestling. This hour on All-Star Wrestling we're going to see the monstrous TV Champion MEB take on veteran Mike George. We'll also be hearing from Missouri Champion and Central States Legend Harley Rac as well as a man reviled by Central States fans; "Glamour Boy" Scott Ferris. And in a huge encounter in our Main Event; we'll see former CSW Champion "Avalanche" Buzz Tyler team with long-standing ally "Bulldog" Bob Brown against the man who beat him from the Title; the Central States Champion The Iron Sheik and the unpredictable "Captain" of Sheik Abdullah's so-called Army Luke Graham. All that up at the top of the hour; but first coming off his huge upset win over America's own Hero Sgt. Slaughter; His Lordship Johnny Saint will be in action next. All that and more can be expected on this edition of All-Star Wrestling. Stay with us; we'll be back with our first match of the hour right after this.



COMMERCIAL BREAK




His Lordship Johnny Saint makes his way down to the ring to a louder chorus of boos than usual as he proudly waves Great Britain's flag while Squire Littlebrook follows behind him with his tea tray.

Match: Johnny Saint vs. Larry Hamilton
Referee: Bobby Whitlock



While Squire Littlebrook pours His Lordship some tea we're told Sonny Myers has been given the night off following injuries at the hands of Tommy Rogers here last week. While the Wall doesn't blame Rogers for attacking the Easy Riders, he calls his attack on Myers uncalled for and at worst reprehenisible. Johnny Saint meanwhile is sipping his tea and complimenting Littlebrook with a nod when his opponent Larry Hamilton explodes from the back full of energy, getting the Central States fans pumped up!

All that energy grinds to a halt however when Saint holds up his hand, telling Hamilton and the fans to wait while he finishes his tea. Tea time however is cut short when a very familiar Military March hits and out from the back charges Sgt. Slaughter!



Did Johnny Saint swallow some tea? By the look on his face we might think so! Luckily Slaughter is right there to deliver the heimlich manuever; but His Lordship is having no part of it and leaps out of the ring! Slaughter shouts at him from inside of the ring while Saint trades some barbs, looking pretty indignant as he heads to the back!

Sarge stomps about the ring then while the fans cheer, before coming back to Larry Hamilton whom Slaughter seems to be apologizing to. Larry seems cool with it though and the two men shake hands, talk for a bit; and the Sarge then talks with Bobby Whitlock who calls for the bell! Larry Hamilton is going to wrestle Slaughter instead!

The two men have a competitive back and forth match with no underhanded tactics. The match ends when Sgt. Slaughter hits the Slaughter Cannon lariat on Larry Hamilton for the win. After the match Slaughter helps Larry to his feet and raises his hand for the cheering crowd.



COMMERCIAL BREAK






Back from break Terry Garvin is now in the ring with CSW Legend and Missouri Champion Harley Race! He tells the fans that he's had enough of this Sheik Abdullah and his so-called Army! He says he knows the Sheik's Army has been in Central States for a while now, dominating everyone they've come in contact with. But ol' Harley Race isn't everyone! And he plans to hold this here Missouri Championship for a long time to come! But he's not gonna duck the Sheik and he ain't gonna be ducked. He isn't going to be pussy-footin' around about it. He wants one of the Sheik's men in a fight. And he wants him out here right now! So Sheik Abdullah, you just line 'em up and Harley Race will just go on knockin' them down!



Just then Sheik Abdullah the Great gives Harley his wish as he comes out to the ring with Gypsy Joe! He tells Race that if he wants a fight, if he wants to prepare himself for the slaughter! Then he has a man for him right her! That Race can handle normal men! But he cannot handle a "Man who feels no pain!" Abdullah then slaps Joe repeatedly and Gypsy just seems to get madder.

Race says that he isn't concerned about Gypsy Joe. And he don't give a rat's ass if he feels no pain either. Cause while he may not feel any pain, Harley Race has pinned him just the same. Repeatedly, and...



Harley Race gets attacked from behind! It's "The Diabolical" T.G. Stone! He drops Race down to one knee and then begins stomping him out! Gypsy Joe and the Sheik then join in the fun before Stone signals to Joe and the drag Race over to the ropes where they tie him up! Stone and Joe then pound the hell out of Race and the Sheik screams in Harley's face! T.G. Stone then chokes the Missouri Champ out with his boot a bit before Buzz Tyler, Bob Brown, Sgt. Slaughter, Jim Brunzell; and several other faces in the CSW locker room run down and chase the heels off.



COMMERCIAL BREAK






Back from break Kevin Wall sends us to a video package for Koko B. Ware and his manager Percival Pringle III!

Tickets are on sale right now at the Kansas City, Memorial Hall box office, TicketMaster Outlets, Famous Barn Stores, Regal Sports Team; or by phone call Dial Tix right now 644-1700! Don't forget tickets on sale $5, $6, $7; and $8. Air-Conditioned Memorial Hall. With us now is His Lordship Johnny Saint!



He tells us that it's just like slovenly Americans to cheer such a ruffian, such a sore loser as this so-called "hero" Sgt. Slaughter. A man who could have caused serious injury to his poor little friend Squire Littlebrook. Or worse yet, mother's fine tea set! A gift from the very Queen herself! It's shocking. It's appalling. Yet still the Central States fans, this louts; they cheer for this Slaughter character. And why? Because he's a lowly Sergeant in one of the worst, most disorganized army's in the world. That of the United States. He could at least understand us a little if he was in the fine Royal Marine Corps. Now that would be something to bite your arm off about.



COMMERCIAL BREAK






Another ad for next Thursday's show, this time Kevin Wall is with "The Glamour Boy" Scott Ferris! Ferris however is too busy grooming himself in his mirror to pay Kevin any mind. It takes the Wall several attempts to actually pull Scott's attention away from the mirror. Oh right, The Glamour Boy shrugs. He forgot he had to grace all the ugly people at home with a fraction of his time. But that's quite alright because today they're going to get to hear about something he loves to talk about; namely Scott Ferris. And last week? He showed everyone just how good, just how talented he really is. "Nature Boy" you eat your heart out. Cause there's only one man in this industry who can look this good girlie. What's that? Oh yes Kevin. Thanks for reminding him of the glamorous news that tonight "The Glamour Boy" put another notch in his belt when he took down the truly ugly Mark Allen. Maybe now he can get that corrective surgery he so obviously needs.



Kevin then sends us to a 5-minute recap of Scott Ferris' match with Mark Allen who holds his own against "The Glamour Boy." When the tide turns in his favor however, Ferris who concentrates most his attacks on his opponent's legs always heads to the corner and checks to make sure his hair isn't out of place. Some fans want Mark to break that mirror, but he never gets the chance as Ferris connects with a dropkick to the face that sends Allen stumbling into the corner on his ass. Ferris grabs the mirror again, but this time he holds it before his downed opponent and screams "Look at you! Look at you!" He then pulls him drags him into the center of the ring and locks in the Sharpshooter for the win.

Kevin Wall then sends us to our next match with referee Tom Andrews.

Match: MEB vs. Mike George



Andrews and even the Sheik Abdullah himself have trouble controlling the monstrous TV Champion in this one. Mike George holds his own early on and has his moments, but gets dominated the second half of the match. MEB tears him apart, pulling hair and even biting George at one point before hitting the a Body Avalanche in the corner followed by a Sidewalk Slam for the win. He crouches over his prey licking his chops as CSW takes it's final...



COMMERCIAL BREAK






Final advertisement for Thursday's show, this time with Sheik Abdullah the Great on Buzz Tyler's interference in Sheik's matches! He's with his Army which at the moment consists of Central States Champ The Iron Sheik, "Captain" Luke Graham, Gypsy Joe; and T.G. Stone who're fawning over him. He says he's tired of that fat, incompetent has-been Champ Buzz Tyler interfering in the affairs of the Army! He says that Tyler has crossed them for the last time and will never, ever, ever make it to his so-called rematch with the Iron Sheik for the Central States Championship! So-called because he was never a true Champion to begin with! And they'll prove this once again here tonight!

Kevin Wall then sends us to the main event, where you referee for this evening is Dave Nevins.

Main Event: Iron Sheik & Luke Graham vs. Buzz Tyler & Bob Brown





Bob Brown starts things out with Luke Graham in this match which is mostly a brawl! The two teams batter one another inside and outside the ring, leaving poor Dave Nevins to try in vain to maintain some order. "Avalanche" lives up to his namesake when he hits a running body avalanche into "Captain" Luke, crashing into the big green wooden barricades in the CSW arena! It changes the course of the match and Buzz Tyler with Bob Brown hit a massive suplex on Graham to walk away the winners here tonight! Sheik Abdullah throws a fit a ringside and while Iron Sheik looks ready to enter the ring and take on both men; Abdullah pulls him away and heads up the ramp shouting Iranian expletives at Tyler and Brown.

And we're outta time!

[Captain Charisma]

Fun show, I would like to see the Midgets get a little TV Time, Mini T vs. Littlebrook would have been fun. Koko vs. Poffo would have really got the Memorial Hall rocking. Good to see Mike George around, I think he is a great tag partner in waiting for someone. I see the Grapps and Cowboys hooked it up earlier today, I think that tag match would have been outstanding. Garrett and Falk are top of the food chain enhancement talent. Good enough offense to pose a threat, take an excellent beating, consummate professionals in the art of making their opponents look great without it being a 3 minute squash. Nice cameo, but would like to see more Blair and Brunzell sooner than later. Those two, Koko, and the Grapplers have me excited about 1985. Good stuff here Drago.

[Chitohausen]

This was a fun show. I really enjoyed the main event, you've got a really strong program at the top of the card that would keep the fans coming back each week.

[thecommish]

There was so much to like here, as usual. You're just doing a pitch perfect job getting the Sheik's crew over. They would be getting huge heat by this point. The sky's the limit!
