Gordon Solie and Buddy Colt open the show. This Monday at the West Palm Beach Auditorium Dusty Rhodes is going to put the Southern Title up against a member of the Anderson Family, Lars Anderson. Gordon and Buddy talk about how Dusty has a long personal feud with the entire Anderson family, both Lars and Dusty will be here today! Also here today Florida Champion Mike Graham will team with the man he will face this Monday Night, The Mexican Marvel Mando Guerrero!!! Talk then turns to this past Monday Night and the big eight man tag match in which Terry Taylor, Stan Lane, and the Hillbilles faces Tojo Yammamoto’s Orient Express and the US Tag Team Champions The Midnite Express! At the conclusion of the match Stan Lane had to be stretchered out of the building. Solie brings in Terry Taylor. Taylor says Lane will not be coming on Monday Night, Taylor says that it doesn’t look like Lane will be able to compete for quite some time, but that doesn’t mean Taylor is done with his war with either the Midnite Express nor the Orient Express, he says he has a new partner and asks if everyone wants to know who it is, when the crowd cheers he heads to the ring.
Dan Greer and Ric McCord stand in the ring asking Taylor where his partner is, and they are soon answered when BARRY WINDHAM joins Taylor in the ring!!!!
TERRY TAYLOR & BARRY WINDHAM DEF. DAN GREER & RIC MCCORD
Windham and Taylor join Gordon and Buddy. Windham tells Gordon that he has always been good friends with Terry Taylor, and he doesn’t like The Midnite Express nor Jim Cornette at all. He says he and Taylor are going to take on the Orient Express this Monday Night, and then they are going to be coming after Eaton, Condrey, Cornette and the United States Tag Team Titles!!

Gordon is joined by a very upset Jim Cornette and the US Tag Team Champions The Midnite Express! Cornette wants to know what Windham is doing sticking his nose into all this, it has nothing to do with him!!! Cornette calls out Tojo Yamamoto and the Orient Express. Cornette tells Yamamoto that he expects the Orient Express to take out Windham just like they did Stan Lane this past Monday Night. Yamamoto nods that this will be done and Cornette promises that his momma is sending him enough money to make it worth Tojo’s time. Gordon brings up that the Midnite Express will have to put the US Tag Title up on Monday Night against the Hillbillies, Cornette doesn't want to talk about it, he is upset that his boys are going to have to get in the ring with those uneducated idiotic hillbillies. He says that Cousin Luke and Cousin Junior have no idea what the difference between a wist lock and a wrist watch is, they have no business even being allowed to buy a ticket to a wrestling match, much less being allowed to be in a n actual wrestling ring!!!
TOM ZENK DEF. MIKE FEVER
Zenk comes over to the desk to talk with Gordon and Buddy, he is really excited to be here in Florida now and can’t wait to prove himself against the best of the best in the ring. Gordon says that Zenk will be in action this Monday Night at the West Palm Beach Auditorium!

Lars Anderson is with Gordon Solie and Buddy Colt, they talk about Lars getting a shot at the Southern Title this Monday Night. Lars says he and his brother Ole and Gene go way, way back with Dusty Rhodes, they have been fighting and feuding for years and this Monday Night Lars plans to end the wars forever by ending Dusty Rhodes. Lars says this isn’t business, this is personal. Lars says that the Andersons blame Dusty for Gene’s retirement and they want revenge for it, Lars says that he is getting it on Monday Night because he plans to put Dusty out!!!
MANDO GUERRERO & FLORIDA CHAMPION MIKE GRAHAM DEF. DAVID & JERRY NOVAK
Graham and Guerrero join Gordon Solie and Buddy Colt at the desk. Gordon brings up how unorthodox it is for two men that will be facing one another in a couple of days to be teaming with each other. Graham says he and Guerrero are competitors, but they are also friends, they are both second generation wrestlers, both professionals and that he is looking forward to putting his title up against Guerrero. Guerrero agrees and says it is an honor to battle Graham on Monday Night, the two men shake hands and Gordon says that this match will be a good one!

The Star Spangled Banner is playing when we come back from the break and Cpl. KirshIner is standing in the ring, American flag in one hand with the other hand on his heart. Once the song has finished he waved the flag around the ring.
CPL. KIRSHINER DEF. DON BASS
Gordon reminds us that on Monday Night, Cpl Kirshiner will face “Wild” Bill Ash in what should be a great match. Gordon then introduces us to the Southern Heavyweight Champion “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes!!! Rhodes says it has been quite a ride. After beating the Debbil himself in a Loser Leaves Town Match on Christmas Night and winning the Southern Heavyweight Title he thought things might get a little easier, but no, here comes Lars Anderson. Dusty says every time he seems to be on the way back up, an Anderson shows up to ruin the party. Rhodes says Monday Night at the West Palm Beach Auditorium he is gonna take care of biddness and Lars Anderson. Before Dusty can say much more there is a commotion, Gordon looks up and a shocked look appears on his face!! Gordon yells “WAIT A MINUTE!!!!” and the camera pans to show

IT’S BOBBY HEENAN!!!!
Gordon wants to know what Bobby Heenan is doing here on Championship Wrestling. Heenan says that he is here because he has just signed an exclusive contract to bring his managerial skills here, Heenan tells the humanoids to be quiet because he has some very important business to discuss

WITH DUSTY RHODES!?!
Heenan says Dusty was once the NWA World Champion and Heenan feels Dusty can do it again with the right guidance. Heenan says he has long followed “The American Dream’s” career and that he knows he can lead Dusty back to the top and the World Title. Dusty begins to talk but Heenan tells him to wait a second, Heenan says he is bringing the Heenan Family to Florida, and he wants Dusty to be a part of it, the main part of it, the crown jewel, the building block. Heenan says he has quite a bit of money to give Dusty as a signing bonus. Heenan says he doesn’t need an answer right away, he’ll give Dusty till Monday Night!!! Heenan then walks off leaving Dusty speechless as the credits begin to roll!!!!
Working on it now.
