Broadcasters: Gordon Solie and Buddy Colt
Solie and Colt welcome everyone to the show. Before getting into the action, they have a few announcements. The vacant Florida Championship will be filled with a 16 man single elimination tournament Sunday, April 27 in Miami. And, June 7th, at the Sundome in Tampa, the first annual Eddie Graham Memorial show will take place. Stay tuned in the upcoming weeks for updates on both events. Bobby Heenan comes out to the desk. He tells Gordon and Buddy that his lawyers have gotten the piledriver reinstated as a legal move in Florida, and now his man, Paul Ornorff will be winning the Florida title with it in a few weeks. Finally, we have a special main event match this week, as The Fantastics will face the Midnight Express later in the show, for the US Tag Team Titles. With the announcements out of the way, we head to the ring for our opening match.
Mr. Wonderful, Paul Orndorff w/ Bobby Heenan vs. Nacho Berrera - 15 minute time limit
Orndorff seems to enjoy punishing Berrera, before ending the match with the now legal piledriver setting up the pin.
Winner: Paul Orndorff via pin @ 4:26
Orndorff flexes to the crowd as we break for commercial.

Solie and Colt welcome us back, and Bobby Heenan is still at the desk. He says he is going to be scouting the competition so Paul Orndorff's potential opponents. Barry Windham joins the trio, and says that he'll be throwing his hat in the ring for the Florida Title, and that he's ready to take his game to the next level. Southern Champion Dusty Rhodes comes out as well, and says HE will be entering the tournament as well, because there is no way in the world he'll let Paul Orndorff win anything while he is around. Solie says it's time for our next match, while Dusty and Heenan argue.
Barry Windham vs. Rocky Della Serra - 1 fall, 15 minutes
Solie and Colt try to call the match, but Heenan and Dusty are still going at it. Heenan says Dusty is selfish, and that he'll make sure Dusty doesn't win the Florida Title, and he'll cost him the Southern Title as well. Meanwhile, in the ring, Windham hits a bulldog before getting the pin.
Winner: Barry Windham via pin @ 5:14.

Returning to the show, we see 3 men at the table, who are announced as The Great Mephisto, and his proteges, Jeff Sword and Doug Vines, the Devils Duo. Mephisto says these are just the first members of his army, and they'll be causing havoc throughout Florida this summer.
The Devil's Duo w/ Great Mephisto vs. Obie Davis & AJ Petruzzi - 1 fall, 15 min.
The Duo make quick work of their opponents, winning in their debut.
Winners: The Devil's Duo via pin @ 4:42

Coming back to the show, the action is already getting ready to start in the ring.
Mike Rotundo vs. Terry Daniels - 1 fall, 15 minutes
Rotundo is making his Florida debut today, and Gordon explains that Mike was a championship wrestler while at Syracuse University. He wins the match following an airplane spin.
Winner: Mike Rotundo via pin @ 5:31
Rotundo joins Solie and Colt. He says that he is excited to be here in Florida, and that he'll be entering the tournament for the Florida Championship.
Rotundo walks away and Jim Cornette comes over to the desk. He says it isn't fair that the Midnight Express are expected to defend their titles here today, that the Fantastics don't deserve a shot and he'll have to talk to his momma and make sure such a travesty never happens again.
The Fantastics make their way to the ring before we head to the last commercial break of the show.

We return to the show just in time to hear Jim Cornette introduce the US Tag Team Champions, Beautiful Bobby, Loverboy Dennis, the Midnight Express.
US Tag Team Championship
The Midnight Express w/ Jim Cornette (c) vs. The Fantastics - 1 fall, TV time
The two teams get right down to business. Jim Cornette tries to help out his team at every opportunity, and it appears to be working when he goes to hit Tommy Rogers with his tennis racket. Rogers ducks the shot, and Bobby Eaton is hit. The distracted referee looks over just in time to see Rogers pin Eaton, and we have new US Tag Team Champions!!!
Winners and NEW US Tag Team champions, The Fantastics via pin @ 6:42.
The Fantastics are celebrating and getting ready to head over to the interview area, when they are attacked from behind by the Devils Duo and Great Mephisto. Fulton and Rogers look like they are fending off the attack, when Mephisto throws a fire ball at Rogers! That causes the officials and good guy locker rooms to empty out.
The show goes off the air as the Duo and Mephisto laugh while they go back to their locker room.
