Central States Wrestling
12-15-84 All-Star Wrestling
Taped on 12/12/84 at Memorial Hall Kansas City, MO
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 "Tha Jive Talkin' Soul Brother" Koko B. Ware in action with his manager Percival Pringle and a TV Title Match where the monstrous MEB of Sheik Abdullah's so-call Army puts in all on the line against rival Jerry "The Crusher" Blackwell. We'll also be hearing from the Sheik as well as the Central States Tag-Team Champions The Easy Riders. That's "Killer" Jim Morris and "Maniac" Matt Borne. And in the main event we'll see the Missouri Champion Harley Race in non-Title action against Captain Luke Graham. So don't go away. 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
Sgt. Slaughter comes out to say the Pledge of Allegiance with the cheering fans. He barely gets under way when The Canadian National Anthem hits?! Slaughter turns expectantly toward the entranceway, but nobody is there! Just then the crowd begins screaming and we see Canada's Greatest Athlete
Mike Sharpe make his way around the barricade! And he brains Slaughter from behind with the Canadian flag! He puts the boots to him before hitting him
with the flag pole again and again! But just then out from the back comes...
Hacksaw Higgins?! Wall knew Higgins was up to no good and is out here on behalf of the Sheik's Army!
But instead he grabs the flag pole?! And pulls it away from Sharpe! He gets it now and he runs Mike off before checking on Slaughter!
Match: Koko B. Ware vs. Brian Jewel
Referee: Sonny Myers
Koko B. Ware comes out strutting his stuff with his manager Percival Pringle III! The fans back him for a minute, but inside the ring he keeps Brian Jewel down with a cocky swagger that annoys them especially when he uses some underhanded tactics to stop any momentum Brian builds dead in it's tracks. He ends the match with a theatrical Ghost Buster before dancing about the ring with Percy while the fans boo him.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Inside the ring we're with Terry Garvin who is getting a word with Hacksaw Higgins. Both Wall and Garvin seem stunned by Higgins' actions earlier this evening but the fans are now cheering him. Hacksaw Higgins is about to speak when he's interrupted by...
"Now wait a damned minute!" And it's Sheik Abdullah who leads his Army of Gypsy Joe, T.G. Stone, MEB; and the Mongos out from the back! He doesn't know what Hacksaw Higgins was thinking! Does he think?! Probably not! Never a great mind was Higgins! Helping American infidel?! Not while the Army still bleeds! He wants answers and he wants them now!
Hacksaw Higgins smirks at the Sheik. He tells him that he doesn't need to answer to him. Not anymore. But the fans here in Central States probably want a few, so he'll oblige. You see Hacksaw Higgins woke up all in a cold sweat a couple weeks ago. Kinda like that feeling you get, like someone walked over your grave. And he turned on his tv set and right there was The Iron Sheik wearing HIS Central States Title. Yes his. Because while Hacksaw can't put his finger on it, he feels he's been robbed. That by rights he should've defeated his old nemesis "Avalanche" Buzz Tyler a few weeks ago. That he should be standing before us all right now the Central States Champion! And as for Sgt. Slaughter? Well there's one thing Hacksaw Higgins learned during his stay in the Sheik's Army. And that's if you're gonna go to war with Abdullah; then it's good to have a friend or two!
Just then military music sounds and out from the back comes Sgt. Slaughter! He has a bandage on his head from his attack by Mike Sharpe early; but that doesn't stop America's Hero and Higgins from clearing the ring! They drop both the Mongos over the side at the same time with clotheslines before shaking hands and stomping around the ring while the fans cheer. As can be expected Sheik Abdullah is livid.
COMMERCIAL BREAK

Sheik Abdullah & his so-called Army! Sheik Abdullah is with Gypsy Joe, T.G. Stone, the Mongos; and Captain Luke Graham! And he's off the walls pissed! He swears not only to kill the infidels who've been attacking his Army, but to tear of their heads and mount them on pikes! He says that Hacksaw Higgins is a spineless traitor! And Slaughter has been safely under the Army's radar! But now that he's messed in their affairs, no more! He says that America's Hero will soon be America's Tragedy! He says the fans will be weeping in the streets after they see the carnage his Army has wrought on Slaughter! But first thing's first and that's to put an end once and for all to the Missouri Champ Harley Race right here tonight! He says Race won't be able to stop the unpredicatability of "Crazy" Luke Graham tonight and that'll make it all the easier for his man, "The Diabolical" T.G. Stone to defeat him for the Title! And then all the major Championships here in Central States will belong to Sheik Abdullah and his Army!

Kevin Wall advertises next week's show again, this time he's with the masked luchador from Mexico; El Rey de Rock 'N Roll! Lanny Poffo translates. El Rey starts talking in Spanish and Kevin isn't understanding a word of it. He looks about and asks if there's anyone in the building who can translate for us?!
Oh look a volunteer! Wait... That's...
Lanny Poffo?! Hey there Kevin. Good to be on the show. He says he's a big fan of CSW and the Wall. Kevin says we all know who he is. He's been wrestling
in the Central States area for the past couple months now. But... does he speak Spanish? Oh yeah! Of course Kevin! Of course! Spanish it easy! Wall thanks him for helping out.
The Rock 'N Roll luchador rattles off again in Spanish while Lanny listens. Poffo tells us that what El Rey says is that he's already been a big star in Mexico, just like Lanny is here in the USA. He's a big fan. And that he can't wait to make his mark here in the Central States area! He says that he loves the fans... and donkeys?... no and Championship Gold! He says he's gonna prove to the fans here that he's got the skill to be a Champion!
Thanks Lanny, now here's a clip of El Rey del Rock 'N Roll in action.
We're sent to a 5-minute recap of a match between El Rey and Nacho Barrera in Mexico. Rock 'N Roll is quick and uses alot of innovative offense that keeps Nacho down more often than not before he finishes him off with a missile dropkick off the top!
Kevin Wall then sends us to our next match with referee Tom Andrews.
TV Title Match: MEB vs. Jerry the Crusher Blackwell 
The two big men tear into one another and Jerry "The Crusher" Blackwell looks well on his way to winning the TV Title despite Sheik Abdullah's best attempts to distract him which are often thwarted by Blackwell's friend Colonel Buck Robley! After a big slam and a cover, Abdullah throws MEB's foot up on the bottom rope breaking the count! And Robley has had it! He chases the Sheik to the back while inside the ring MEB fights back up to his feet with a kick to the of "The Crusher." Big target.
Jerry is still in control, but as Robley returns to the ring, Gypsy Joe and the Mongos attack him from behind! This gives MEB a chance to capitalize and he drops Blackwell throat first on the top rope! He then runs the ropes and runs right into Jerry knocking him off his feet before jumping on top of him with a Splash! 1! 2! 3! MEB has retained the Title! Sheik Abdullah returns as CSW goes to...
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Final advertisement and Kevin Wall is now with... The Easy Riders! "Killer" Jim Morris and "Maniac" Matt Borne are hooting and hollering about being the most dominant Tag-Teams in this area's history! They say nobody can stand the intensity, the brutality of the Riders! Just ask those little idiots the Uptown Boys or those red, white; and blue yankee doodles Falk and Garrett who they put down just last week! They may as well retire these Championships baby! Because they're never changing hands again! Borne is gonna have his mounted permanently on his bike! Just then there's a disturbance outside the building?! A loud clanking sound it heard! The Easy Riders with the camera man in tow hurries outside to see...
Someone's knocked over their bikes! And taken a bat to them! Morris and Borne go crazy screaming and run off looking around the parking lot, accosting some random guy before we are sent back inside...
Kevin Wall then sends us to the main event which will run for the television time remaining, where your referee for this evening is Dave Nevins.
Main Event: Harley Race vs. Captain Luke Graham
Captain Luke Graham and Harley Race have a sometimes ugly back and forth contest here. Graham gets Race down for a bit, but the Missouri Champ is pumped up and hands the Sheik's lackey a beating while yelling at Abdullah to keep out of the match while he scurries about outside the ring. Race hits Graham with a Piledriver and it's all over for the Captain. Race tells the Sheik to tell that idiot T.G. Stone he's next!
And we're outta time!
Also say that the Crusher and the Col. would be EXCELLENT opponents for the Easy Riders.
