Colt welcomes everyone to the show. He and Solie remind us that we're just weeks away from the huge Eddie Graham Memorial show and the man with them right now is in one of the big main events at that show, Florida Champion Paul Orndorff along with Bobby The Brain Heenan. Heenan starts off by saying he doesn't even know how Graham got a shot, contract or not, he's a quitter. Orndorff takes the mic and says he really doesn't care who he faces, he's the champ, and he'll stay the champ. With that he heads to the ring to start the show.
Florida Champion Paul Orndorff w/ Bobby Heenan vs. The Patriot - Non Title, 1 fall, 15 min
The Patriot starts off fast against Orndorff, but Mr. Wonderful quickly recovers, giving the red, white and blue youngster yet another loss following a pile driver.
Winner: Paul Orndorff via pin @ 4:13
A pretaped interview with NWA World Champion Ric Flair is shown. He says that June 7, Tampa will be rocking because the Nature Boy will be in town. He says that Rotundo had a great match on TV a couple of weeks ago, and it's true that Mike surprised him and got a non title win. But Flair wrestles the greats day in and day out, and always goes home with the gold, and it will be no different at the USF Sundome. So lock up your wives and daughters, because Whooooooo, the party will go all night long after Flair retains his title.

Carlos Colon is at the announcers table. He says he really appreciates the support he's gotten from the fans in Florida, and he still has his eyes set on championship gold here in the Sunshine State.
AJ Petruzzi vs. Carlos Colon - 1 fall, 15 min
Colon handles Petruzzi with ease, defeating him following a power slam.
Winner: Carlos Colon via pin @ 3:24
A pretaped vignette is shown, accompanied by the music of Sade's Smooth Operator. It shows two men from behind stepping off a yacht with women on each arm. The men are dressed in suits and the camera follows them to an awaiting limousine. The door opens, but we can't see who is inside. One of the ladies sticks her head out the sunroof of the car, which drives away, revealing the license plate BRAIN1. The screen fades to black, showing the words The Smooth Operators - Arriving Next Week!

The Southern Boys - Steve Armstrong and Tracy Smothers are in the announce area. They say they're fired up to be here in Florida, and they're ready to face anyone. They have their eyes on the US Tag Team Tiles, and Colt says after a few more big wins, they should be in line for a title shot. Armstrong and Smothers agree, and say they'll face anyone to get those titles.
The Southern Boys - Steve Armstrong & Tracy Smothers vs. Pete Doherty & Nacho Berrera - 1 fall, 15 min

Winners: The Southern Boys via pin @ 4:51
Mike Graham is with the announcers. He says this has been quite an emotional year for him thus far, but he is going to turn things around, regain his Florida Title. He says the name Graham is synonymous with Florida Wrestling, and promises that at the end of the night, he'll be the Florida Champion once again.
Commerical
When we return to the show, The Great Mephisto is with the announcers. He is with Kamala the Ugandan Giant and a masked man introduced simply as Friday, Kamala's handler. He says he warned that this would be a summer of destruction in Florida, and Kamala is the latest to join his group. He warns, even he cannot control the monster from Uganda, so there is no way anyone else around here will be able to either. They then head to the ring.
Mike Boyette vs. Kamala the Ugandan Giant w/ Great Mephisto - 1 fall, 15 min
As soon as the bell rings, Boyette is all over Kamala with punches and kicks, but the monster shrugs them off and after a moment begins pummeling the hippie. Kamala refuses to listen to the referee, perhaps not even understanding him, and continues to destroy Boyette. He finally climbs to the second ropes and drops a huge splash on Boyette, and the referee counts to three.
Winner: Kamala via pin @ 2:17
Kamala refuses to get off of Boyette, even with Mephisto and Friday trying to convince him. Solie and Colt speculate that Boyette may have a crushed sternum after that splash and the situation is very serious. Suddenly, from the back, Carlos Colon runs out. Mephisto and Friday are able to pull Kamala out of the ring, but not before Colon lands a couple of blows on the savage.
Solie joins Colon for an unscheduled interview outside the ring. Carlos says that Mephisto has gone too far this time, that he knows about Kamala, and isn't going to put up with him here in Florida. He says he's going to put a quick end to Kamala, and challenges him to a match at the Eddie Graham Memorial Show!
Commerical
When we return to the show, Solie says that indeed, Carlos Colon vs. Kamala has been signed for June 7. Also signed, the match everyone is talking about, teacher vs. student, Barry Windham vs. Dusty Rhodes will finally take place in the Sundome. Windham and Bobby Heenan join the announcers. They first ask where Dusty is, then laugh and remind everyone that Windham took out the Dream, who still isn't allowed to compete. Heenan reminds everyone that if Dusty isn't able to defend his title, he'll be stripped of it. Winham says, as a boy, he remembers Dusty coming to the house, always bragging about this and that. Well the time has finally come for someone to shut up Dusty, and he's the man to do it. He then heads to the ring for his match.
Barry Windham w/ Bobby Heenan vs. SD Jones - 1 fall, 15 min
Barry continues with his new, rougher style, almost getting DQed a few times, but always keeping control and walking that line. He finally beats Jones following a claw.
Winner: Barry Windham via submission @ 4:14
Paul Jones is in the announce area with his army, The Regulators - Black Bart & Bobby Jaggers, and Krusher Kruschev. He says he promised these men that he'd take them to the top, and he is delivering, not only will Kruschev have a match at the Memorial Show, but the Regulators will also have a match, against opponents still to be named. He dares anyone, anywhere, to come to Florida and face his men.
Commercial
Returning for our final segment of the show, once again The Great Mephisto is in the announce area, this time accompanying the US Tag Team Champions, The Devils Duo. He says that he almost feels sorry for the Rock and Roll Patrol, because they don't know what they are getting into. But he promises, he will rain fire and chaos on anyone that crosses his path, and they have made the biggest mistakes of their lives agreeing to the match. With that, they head to the ring.
US Tag Team Champions - The Devil's Duo - Jeff Sword & Doug Vines vs. Terry Daniels & Mark Fleming - Non Title, 1 fall, TV Time
The Duo carry on with their path of destruction, not allowing Fleming and Daniels to get in any offense.
Winner: The Devil's Duo via pin @ 1:46
In the final few moments of the show, Solie and Colt are joined by Mike Rotundo. Mike says that Ric Flair can talk all he wants, but he knows the truth, he was defeated once, cleanly in the center of the ring, and come June 7, he'll be defeated again, 1, 2, 3, and there will be a new NWA Champion.
Solie thanks the fans for tuning in, and says next week there is a huge main event, as Mike Graham will face Barry Windham. Also on the show, Dusty Rhodes will return to the show, live, for the first time since the vicious attack at the hands of his former friend and partner, and the Smooth Operators will also appear for the first time.
