Gordon and Buddy welcome everyone to the show and say we are just one day way from the big Florida State Championship tournament, and they are joined now by a man many odds makers are saying is one of the favorites, Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff with his manager Bobby The Brain Heenan. Orndorff says that he's always been the biggest star in what ever he's done in Florida, and he'll prove that by winning the tournament tomorrow night in Miami. Heenan says Mr. Wonderful is heads and shoulders above the competition, no one has the killer instinct that Orndorff has and no one will get in his way, not Carlos Colon, Mike Rotundo or even that selfish Dusty Rhodes.They leave the area as we get ready for the first match. We're reminded that the main event today is a match for the US Tag Team Titles, a match that the Fantastics demanded, against their challengers, the Devil's Duo, following a vicious assault.
Southern Champion Dusty Rhodes & Barry Windham vs. Nacho Berrera and Obie Davis - 1 fall, 15 min

Following the match, Rhodes and Windham join the announcers to talk about the upcoming tournament. Dusty says that he is determined to stop Bobby Heenan and Paul Orndorff from winning any titles in Florida. Barry starts to talk about the tournament, but Solie indicates they are out of time and need a word from the sponsors.

Winner: Mike Rotundo via pin @ 5:24
The legendary Butcher Vachon is at the announce table. He says that he is here for one reason, and one reason only, and that is the Florida State Title. Unlike the hot shot wrestlers here, he'll be winning the title by living up to his name, butcher.
Commercial
Two new faces join Solie and Colt. Gordon announces them as Rock n Roll Buck Zumhofe and Ricky Gibson. They say they've heard that Florida's tag team division has had some of the best teams in the country at the moment, and they're ready to throw their hats into the ring.

Gordon also reminds fans that June 7th, at the USF Sundome, the Eddie Graham Memorial Show will occur. While opponents have yet to be signed, NWA World Champion Ric Flair will appear, Southern champion Dusty Rhodes will defend his title, and whoever the new Florida Champion is will also defend that title.
Commerical
The Great Mephisto and The Devil's Duo are in the announce area. Mephiso states that the Fantastics have made a huge error by not just packing up their tights and going home. If being injured didn't teach them a lesson, then being crippled will teach all of Florida a lesson. The lesson is this, The Devils Duo are just the beginning of a summer of terror for Florida's fan favorites. Later in today's show, everyone will see.
Krusher Kruschev vs. S.D. Jones - 1 fall, 15 min
The Russian sympathizer wins yet again with his Russian Sickle setting up the pin. Colt wonders if anyone will be able to recover from that should he hit it at the tournament tomorrow.
