BROADCAST 11/2/84 6:05 PM
David and Tony are talking about what we will see today when they are interrupted by “The Boogie Woogie Man” Jimmy Valiant!!!
Jimmy Valiant: OOOOOOOOOH HAVE MERCY!!! Did you hear what my bruddah, what my street bruddah, The Ragin Bull just did last week? HE CALLED OUT NIKITA KOLOFF!!! He called him out the carpet daddy!!! And you know what jack, that got the Boogie Man thinking, if my bruddah can call a man out for Battle Bowl, THEN SO CAN THE BOOGIE MAN!!!! So Greg Valentine, Hammer-Man!!!! You wanted to break my legs daddy, you wanted to take Paul Jones money bruddah, well Greg Valentne, THE BOOGIE MAN IS GOING TO GIVE YOU ANOTHER CHANCE TO GET THE MONEY!!!! BATTLE BOWL ’84!! THANKSGIVING IN CHARLOTTE, THE BOOGIE MAN!! THE HAMMER MAN!!! LET’S HOOK IT UP ONE MORE TIME!!!
”BOOGIE WOOGIE MAN” JIMMY VALIANT DEFEATS THE COMMANDO WITH THE BOOGIE ELBOW
David Crockett: Please welcome the man who later today…later on this program will challenge for the Television Title…Ricky Steamboat.
Ricky Steamboat: Thank you for having me out here David, and let me say that I am honored to be getting this chance at the Television Title later on the program, the TV Title is a belt I have held in the past and I would very much like to hold it again, and an added bonus is the fact that I would beat Tully Blanchard in order to win the title, and as everyone knows there is quite a bit of bad blood there.
David Crocket: Another place where there is bad blood……….a RIVER of bad blood……..is between you and the man you will face at Starrcade on Christmas Night in Greensboro, Wahoo McDaniels!
Ricky Steamboat: That’s right David, I am not going to stand out here and rehash all that has gone on between Wahoo and I, that would be pointless, but this animosity, this war between us has reached it boiling point and has begun to cost both of us too much professionally. It’s what caused us both to be eliminated from the United States Title Tournament and I feel if it isn’t resolved soon, than neither of us will be able to accomplish what we have set out to do in professional wrestling. So I am happy that the match was signed and I am looking forward to hear what added stipulation the match is given.
David Crockett: But Ricky…..Tully and Wahoo……they are business partners….they have double teamed you before, they have cost you matches before, aren’t you worried about Wahoo getting involved in your match later on?
Ricky Steamboat: You know David I am actually pretty sure that Wahoo will try and get involved, but while Tully and Wahoo are business partners, I have something even better, I have FRIENDS!!! I have an entire locker room of them and they have all said the same thing, “Dragon, go out there, take care of Tully Blanchard, don’t worry about Wahoo, WE HAVE YOUR BACK!” So Tully Blanchard, later on, get ready, because this Dragon is breathing fire, and he isn’t looking behind to see who might jump him, he is looking straight ahead at you and I am coming for the Television Title!!!!!
David Crockett: WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK!!!

NIKITA KOLOFF DEFEATS GEORGE SOUTH WITH THE RUSSIAN SICKLE
Tony Schiavone: I have been joined at this time by “The Russian Nightmare” Nikita Koloff and the NWA World Tag Team Champions, Ivan Koloff and Don Kernodle and first thing we have to get to, last week the United States Champion Manny Fernandez laid out a challenge to Nikita Koloff to face him at Battle Bowl ’84 at the Charlotte Coliseum on Thanksgiving Night!
Ivan Koloff: This Manny Fernandez he must not be a very smart man Tony Schiavone, he must be even dumber than most Americans, because why would anyone want to “call out” as you say nephew Nikita? Why would anyone want to face nephew Nikita in the ring if they could help it? Yes, Manny Fernandez, nephew Nikita will face you at this Battle Bowl 84 in Charlotte on this decadent American Holiday you call Thanksgiving, and he will take the United States Title belt away from you because a man as foolish as you does not deserve to hold such a title.
Nikita Koloff: Manny Fernandez!!! Shto eta!!! You want Nikita Koloff in match? Nikita Koloff wants you in match!!! It is…..how you say……. Fate I should United States Title from you on American holiday.
Don Kernodle: And ya know what else is happening at this here Battle Bowl show Tony Schiavone? Ivan and I are gonna finally get rid of them troublesome Squaws, the Youngbloods!!! When we get those boys in that cage, ooooh boy, it’s gonna be the last you see of either of ‘em!!!
Tony Schiavone: Let’s go to the ring!!!

WAHOO MCDANIELS DEFEATS GARY ROYAL WITH A BIG CHOP
Wahoo walks over to the announcers.
Wahoo McDaniels: David Crockett, I want to know just where you think you get off saying that I would get involved in today’s Main Event?
David Crockett: Well you and Tully Blanchard, you have been known to……..
Wahoo McDaniels: Known to what? Watch each other’s backs? Because that’s all we do, and we have to, because if we don’t crooked promoters like your brother will screw us over. Just like when he took the United States Title from me after I fairly won it, we have a target on our backs, and they want us out of the NWA so that their handpicked boys, like Flair and Steamboat, can do whatever they want and be seen as the top dogs when they are really just a couple of back porch puppies!! As for today’s Main Event, I don’t need to get involved, Tully Blanchard is a fine athlete and will take care of Ricky Steamboat all on his own. But let’s talk about Ricky Steamboat for a second, let’s talk about his match with me at Starrcade, and about this mystery stipulation.
David Crockett: It’s not a mystery, they still haven’t decided what it will be.
Wahoo McDaniels: Isn’t that convenient. I bet they know what it will be, I bet they have even told Ricky Steamboat what it will be so that he can have extra time to prepare. But that doesn’t bother me David Crockett, put us in a No Hold Barred Match, Falls Count Anywhere, Coal Miner’s Glove, or hell PUT US IN THE CAGE, it won’t matter either way, because no matter what the match, RICKY STEAMBOAT WILL NOT WALK OUT OF THE RING. I am guaranteeing it right now, RICKY STEAMBOAT WILL NOT BE WRESTLING IN 1985!!!
Wahoo walks away, and David is left looking shocked!!!
David Crockett: I……I don’t know what to say……….Wahoo McDaniels…….he………he…..guarantees that the Dragon will not be wrestling in 1985, I…………let’s go to the ring…….

Tony Schiavone: Welcome back, and we have an unexpected visitor, what can we do for you Paul Jones?
Paul Jones: You cannot do anything for me Tony Schiavone, I am here to deliver a message to Jimmy Valiant. VALIANT! You know what kind of man I am, I heard the challenge you made at the start of the show and I made a phone call to Seattle, Washington, I called Greg “The Hammer” Valentine and I told him what you had to say. And his response was YES!!! YES HE WILL FACE YOU AT BATTLE BOWL ’84. And Valiant, he told me to be at ringside and to bring the money, because he plans to collect. HE PLANS TO SEND YOU OUT OF CHARLOTTE ON A STRETCHER!! VALIANT!! Your time has come and I will be there to enjoy and relish every moment!
Tony Schiavone: There you have it fans, it looks like we will have yet another big match on our Battle Bowl 84 card, Thanksgiving Night at the Charlotte Coliseum, as Greg “The Hammer” Valentine with Paul Jones in his corner will try and collect the 10.000 dollar bounty on “The Boogie Woogie Man” Jimmy Valiant! Let’s head to the ring for our next match!!!
THE YOUNGBLOODS DEFEAT BILL WHITE & BEN ALEXANDER WHEN JAY PINS BILL AFTER AN END OF THE TRAIL SLAM
Tony Schiavone: The Youngbloods are looking good heading into Battle Bowl ’84 and their shot at the NWA World Tag Team Titles!!!
The Youngbloods then walk up onto the stage,
Jay Youngblood: I know this isn’t our interview time Tony, but we have something we wanted to say. We heard what Wahoo just said out here about my old tag team partner Ricky Steamboat, and you know Mark and I have a unique perspective of that match because while I teamed with Ricky, Mark teamed with Wahoo. We can’t believe the kind of person Wahoo has become. We can tell you Wahoo’s wrong, Ricky Steamboat WILL be wrestling in 1985. But Wahoo……if you keep on the path you are on now, well we think it’s gonna be YOU who will be OUT OF WRESTLING IN 1985!!!
Tony Schiavone: Fans we will be right back after these messages with the Television Title Match!
