AWA ALL STAR WRESTLING
Taped November 9, 1984 to air across the territory on November 16, 1984 at the studios of KMSP TV in Minneapolis. Rod Trongard on commentary and Ken Resnick as ring announcer and interviewer.
After the opening, we cut to Ken Resnick, in front of the AWA logo.
RESNICK: Welcome to another great hour of ALL STAR WRESTLING! We’ll see Jack Brisco. The Road Warriors team with Legion Of Doom brother the Barbarian in six man tag action. Nikolai Volkoff will wrestle today. Former Worrld Champion Nick Bockwinkel will wrestle one of the young lions in our sport, Jim Powers, in what should be an exciting match. Right now, I am joined by Jack Brisco. Before you wrestle Davey O’Hannon, you have a videotape you want all of us, especially “Fabulous One” Steve Keirn and Baby Doll to look at.
BRISCO: I said there was a way to keep Baby Doll out of my business and on Thanksgiving night, well, let’s say it could be a bad night for my ol’ buddy Steve and his woman!
VTR:
A very tall woman with her hair cut in a Mohawk sits at a table with a vase of roses and a bottle of wine on it. The woman is dressed in a slinky evening gown and combat boots. The woman pours herself a glass of wine and lifts the glass as though she is toasting the camera.
WOMAN: My name is Lady Maxine. I think we have a mutual friend. His name is Jack Brisco. Jack and I don’t have much at all in common, but a few years ago, when I wanted to train to be a wrestler, Jack and Jerry Brisco were the only two people in the business who would help me. Now, I hear that a bleach blond bimbo named Baby Doll is causing trouble for my friend and he’s too good of a guy to hit a woman. Well, Baby Doll, I enjoy hitting women and I especially like ripping blonde hair out by its black roots! On Thanksgiving night, Jack and I are gonna take on you and your so called Fabulous One! Baby Doll, I promise you one thing: PAIN![/i]
COMMERCIAL
Jack Brisco vs. Davey O’Hannon:O’Hannon uses some dirty tricks to gain a brief advantage before Jack starts his usual scientific wrestling clinic. Jack scores the pin after a backslide and O’hannon is so frustrated that he kicks the bottom ring rope in disgust!
RESNICK: I’m joined by the Fabulous One and Baby Doll. We just heard about a mixed tag team match on Thanksgiving night at the St. Paul Civic Center!
KEIRN: I want you to look at this woman! Perfect in every way! Baby Doll, the perfect ten! Does that freak scare you?
BABY DOLL: (looking scared) Lady Maxine, I’ll break you in half, little girl!
RESNICK: Ok, as the Fabulous One and baby Doll leave, I’m joined by three men whose well being I’m just a bit concerned for. Butch Reed, Tony Atlas, & Curt Hennig, on Thanksgiving night, you three meet four members of the Legion of Doom! The World Tag team Champions, the Road Warriors, the Barbarian, & manager Paul Ellering! Aren’t you worried about being outgunned just a little?
REED: I grew up hard! I’ve been outgunned all of my life! This is a GHETTO ODDS MATCH! I was never in a fair fight until I was 21 years old! The Hacksaw grew up fighting two or three at a time!
ATLAS: Here’s the thing: Ellering is gonna stick his nose in anyway. We might as well make him a part! Curt had a match with the Barbarian a while back and we know he can hold his own! Now, since it’s 4 on 3, Ellering thinks we got no chance! He agreed if the three of us beat the 4 of them, Butch and me get our cage match with Hawk & Animal! Curt, if you want out of this, we won’t hold it against you….
CURT: I wasn’t raised as hard as Butch, but I was raised by Larry “The Ax” Hennig! Other kids got in trouble if they had fights at school! I got in trouble if I chickened out! I’ve never backed down from a fight in my life! Ghetto Odds Street Fight? With you two as my partners, I like the odds!
RESNICK: Three of your opponents will be in our next match!

GRAHAM: Thanksgiving night! Turkey Day USA! St. Paul, Minnesota, daddy! One of the most electrifying spectacles in the history of professional sports and the Superstar, in all of his awesomticity, will be there! Mil Mascaras, you have one thousand masks to cover that ugly face! The Superstar cannot imagine covering this face, a face that thousands of women would walk barefoot across the burning sand of the Mojave Desert to gaze upon! Mascaras, it seems wherever I go: New York, LA, San Francisco, Phoenix, or San Antone, you are there and you are challenging the Superstar! It’s pure jealousy, Mil. You know that you can never measure up! I am the better wrestler, I have the better physique, and I am more popular with fans of all ages! Turkey Day, be prepared. The Superstar will rip off that mask and expose the greatest turkey of them all! Ricky Martel, if you get by the big Russian, and that isn’t something I would bet on, I want that belt! Can you imagine that beautiful belt around my beautiful, slender waist, daddy? That would give the Legion Of Doom all of the belts and we would rule the world, the galaxy, and the universe!
Nick Bockwinkel vs. Jim Powers: With Larry Zybysko standing at ringside, the former AWA World Champion has his problems with the fired up Powers early on, but a missed dropkick turns the tide and Bockwinkel methodiacally works the leg for several minutes before applying the Indian Deathlock to score a submission win.
RESNICK: Next week, Tony Atlas, Butch Reed, & Curt Hennig in a 6 man tag! Dr. Death will wrestle! Nikolai Volkoff in action as well as international superstar, Mil Mascaras! We’ll also try to have an update on World Champion Rick Martel!
