Texas All Star Wrestling
From The Freeman, Coliseum In San Antonio, TX
Taped: 6/7/85 & 6/14/85
Air Date: 6/21/85
Host: Steve Stack (American language), Jose Lothario & Rapido Rodriquez (Spanish language)
Steve Stack: " Steve Stack here alongside the Texas All Star Heavyweight Champion: Jose Lothario, just hours removed from the shocking conclusion of the Southwest Cup... we'll be showing it a little later on today... but Jose.. can you believe it? Eric Embry pulled the wool over just about everyone's eyes.."
Jose Lothario: " Let me tell you something Steve, Rapido... Bob Sweetan isn't going to take this lying down... I think we're in for some real, real wars throughout the area this coming Summer Mr. Stack.."
Steve Stack: " As promised we'll be showing those events how they unfolded a little later on tonight, as well as talking to Jose here about his condition as he heads into battle with the MASSIVE Voodoo Malumba... speaking of Mr. Malumba, we're going to be taking a look at him in action right here, right now..."
From June 7th@ The Freeman Coliseum
Voodoo Malumba w/ Arman Hussian defeated Tug Taylor via pinfall off a splash at 2:28.
Steve Stack: " There you have it, Voodoo making short work of the near 300 lber Tug Taylor last week in this very building... Jose you felt the wrath of that splash, and in the end, well it cost you an opportunity at that Southwest Cup... I've gotta ask, as we head into the big show down on the 4th at the Hemisfair Arena, are you at 100%?"
Jose Lothario: " You know Steve I came on out to TV a few weeks ago, and I told the people, I told them I wasn't but I wasn't going to miss any dates out on that road, and I didn't. I defended this title wounded, I even stepped in the ring with Voodoo Malumba himself once or twice since then... maybe that wasn't the wisest idea... but I'm off the road now, I'm resting up... and you know... I may not be at 100%, but there's NO WAY I'm going to roll over and GIVE UP... Arman Hussian, MAYBE, just MAYBE you've found the man who can get the job done here... he sure is big enough... he sure is unpredictable enough.. BUT DOES HE HAVE THE HEART to pull it off? I DON'T THINK SO. I may be stepping into the ring and meeting my match, in front of all the great Mexican people, in front of all the great American people... BUT I'M NOT GOING DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT COME THE FOURTH OF JULY!"
Steve Stack: " I know I'll be pulling for you Jose! Fans we're taking a break and when we return it's with a look at some second round Southwest Cup action as our tag team champions American Force take on the 'Iron' Mike and Hacksaw Higgins from Hussian Unlimited!"
Commercial Break
We're back and it's with highlights from the June 7th Coliseum Show as American Force: Nick Kiniski & Joe Savoldi battle Arman Hussian's "Iron" Mike Sharpe & Hacksaw Higgins. Edited down to two minutes, with our tag champs using speed to keep the heels guessing. Stack makes mention of "Iron" Mike now being a member of Dr. Paul Christy's camp during the highlights. Crowd's excited for the finish as Higgins is put away with that elevated dropkick finisher: The American Way at the 12 minute mark. Roughly 2 minutes are shown.
June 7th@Freeman Coliseum
Southwest Cup Round 2 Action
American Force: Nick Kiniski & Joe Savoldi (2) defeated Hussian Unlimited: Mike Sharpe & Hacksaw Higgins (8) when Higgins is pinned off the American Way to send the fans home happy at 12:20. 2 minutes shown American Force faces Japanese force in the semi-finals.
Back to Stack & Rapido in the empty arena.
Steve Stack: " When it comes to high flying, there's no team out there that can catch our tag team champions. Fans we'll be seeing them in action a little later on as well as they battle the Japanese Force in Semi-Final Action, and trust me, questionable finish aside you don't want to miss those highlights... right now I'm joined by the man who'll be facing off against 'Iron' Mike Sharpe on July the 4th at the Hemisfair arena.. the undefeated WILD BULL AYALA. Mr. Ayala, you've had your fair share of run ins as of late with Paul Christy's crew, and I have it on good authority that 'ol Dr. Paul purchased the contract of one Mike Sharpe just for THIS very match..."
Wild Bull Ayala: " Brutha Texas All Star, they set them up, I knock them down... dis rivalry is in Christy's mind... I don't care who he's got, I don't care if he's even there.. once I lock in the full nelson it's OVER HOMBRE!"
Steve Stack: " And with that, let's head to the ring for some SEMI-FINAL ACTION as Eric Embry, that judas, teamed with Bob Sweetan against El Gran Marcus & Black Gordman..."
Match shown in full, taking us thru one commercial break, it's a very different story than what will be told later on in the show as Embry & Sweetan work extremely well together against our "rudos" Marcus & Gordman. During the heat segment, as Embry looks for that hot tag, Stack remarks "Look at this, he had the crowd in the palm of his hand, it's a damn shame, knowing what we know now..." Marcus takes the fall off Sweetan's piledriver as Embry holds off Gordman. An overly excited Embry jumps up and down, hugging Sweetan as Stack mentions that he "think's he's going to be sick." in reference to what we'll see later on tonight.
June 14th@Freeman Coliseum
Southwest Cup Semi-Finals
"Bruiser" Bob Sweetan & "Flamboyant" Eric Embry defeated El Gran Marcus & Black Gordman when Embry pinned Marcus off a piledriver at 10:28. Sweetan & Embry will face Japanese Force in the finals.
Stack does the whole "SPEAKING OF BLACK GORDMAN" routine, and takes us to highlights from LAST WEEK showing CHICKY STARR defeating Gordman to win the TASW Television Title, and NOW here to protest is BLACK GORDMAN!
Black Gordman: " Dis isn't fair Steven, dis no fair. Chicky Starr win in over 15 minutes, TV title have 15 minute time limit, dis no fair. Chicky Starr is a cheat, a low down stinkin' MEXICAN cheater..."
Steve Stack: " First of all, Chicky Starr is from PUERTO RICO not Mexico, and lastly, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S MEXICAN..."
Black Gordman: " I no Mexican, I NEW MEXICAN... and I NO CHEAT! Chicky Starr is CHEAT! I DEAMAND rematch... Chicky Starr no beat me in 15 minutes, Chicky Starr can't beat me in 15 minutes..."
Steve Stack: " A valid point, BUT the match DID have a special 30 minute time limit. I will say this, I know Chicky Starr, and I know he'll GLADLY take you up on that rematch... Fans we'll be back with MORE action from the Southwest cup!"

We're back and before we head back to action, we've got a VERY SPECIAL EDITION OF....
CHRISTY'S CORNER...
The arena is empty, Mark Nulty steps forward in front of the camera.
Mark Nulty: " It is now time for CHRISTY'S CORNER... (Bunny Love appears in the shot to whisper into his ear, Nulty rolls his eyes) with your host, a man with three PHDs in Biology, Astroglogy and of course... PAGEANTRY... an accomplished magician, a decorated professional wrestler and manager.... and a man who owns several luxurious rental properties... PAUL .... (Bunny whispers again..)... DR. PAUL CHRISTY!"
Nulty steps out of the shot, and Dr. Paul makes his entrance, no top hat today but the man IS wearing a cape. The Hood & "Iron" Mike stand behind him, standing guard to an extent.
Dr. Paul Christy: " I am also an expert marksman... TODAY on this program I WILL NOT be interviewing anyone, no, no... instead I will be DEMONSTRATING one of my many, many great magic tricks.. LADIES AND GERMS, be prepared to be dazzled... and WELCOME my assisant for today... young MANUEL VILLABOS... Manny, can I call you Manny?"
Manny: " Sure.."
Dr. Paul: " Have we met before.."
Manny: " Yes..."
Paul rolls his eyes.. mummers under his breath.. "You're supposed to say no.."
Manny: " I mean, no..."
Dr. Paul (Shuffling a deck of cards): " This should be fun.... (continues to shuffle)... what are you a Mexican, right? (continues to shuffle) I speak some... EL SHUFFLE-O EL CARDO.... har, har, har... okay... ready... PICK A CARD, ANY CARD..."
Manny picks his card... Paul instructs him to place it back in the deck...
Dr. Paul: " Now prepare to be dazzled as I INSTANTLY pick your card.... ready... (A smiling Manny nods)... AND HERE IT IS... THE JACK OF HARTS...."
Manny: " Umm... that's not my card..."
Dr. Paul: " Of course it isn't (looking nervous) all part of the gag you say... here we go... ONE MORE TIME.... I present to you, your card.... THE KING OF DIAMONDS..."
Manny: " Ummm... no..."
Dr. Paul: " What do you mean NO? (Christy scratches his head...) Okay.. okay.. ONE MORE TIME.. THE JACK OF CLUBS.. LADIES AND GERMS... THE JACK OF CLUBS..."
Manny shakes his head no...
Dr. Paul: " YOU SHOULD OF JUST SAID YES!... "
WHAMO! RIGHT HAND FROM PAUL CHRISTY! The Hood and Mike Sharpe jump in... it's a three on one beatdown until....
WILD BULL AYALA shows up and the heels back off... SO MUCH FOR A MAGIC TRICK FANS!
And with that we're back to Stack.
Steve Stack: " To think, he only had 49 more to go... fans let's look back at some more semi-final action as the FORCES collided here tonight at the Freeman..."
Joined in progress with Savoldi in control with a headlock on Fooyuki. Mr. Salto is shown shouting instructions out on the floor with Stack stating " I still can't get over who was behind that mask..." Tag into Kiniski seconds later as Savoldi sends his foe into the corner and gets on all fours, Kiniski charges and is elevated into the corner with a shoulder tackle sandwhiching Fooyuki as Stack states "There's that high flying we talked about..."
Fooyuki is sent into the corner again, BUT SALTO helps move him out of the way as Kiniski charges and WHACKS his shoulder against the ring post! Tag to Keywada! Keywada with a series of kicks to that injured shoulder in the corner before catching his foe with a jumping kick and DOWN GOES KINISKI! Cover..

It's to the Japanese in complete control as a "USA" chant breaks out throughout the Coliseum. Kawada tags to Fuyuki and Joe Savoldi EATS a pair of lariats in the corner from BOTH men! A FIRED UP KINISKI has had enough and ATTACKS FOOYUKI as he climbs the top rope, just a wild series of right hands brings him down to the apron! It's broken up, and during this Fooyuki is able to pull Jumpin' Joe to the floor! Savoldi is sent crashing into the railing, not once, but twice! Salto has the official as Fooyuki steals a chair from our ringside attendant and LEVELS Savoldi with a shot to the back before tossing him back into the ring!

AND as Nick reaches for 'em HE EATS A KENDO STICK SHOT TO THE HEAD! KEYWADA SNEAKS UP BEHIND HIM.. BRIDGING BACK SUPLEX! The referee is OF COURSE in position now as the second Salto exits as quickly as he entered...

Back to the empty arena, where a disgusted Stack says before we go, we've unfortunatley got some pre-recorded words from Embry, Percy & the Japanese Force.
We're in the locker room, champagne is popped... the celebration is happening as Embry plants a big kiss on Percy's forehead..
Percy Pringle: " I'd like to take all the credit Eric, but this moment, it's all yours baby... YOU DID IT... YOU PULLED IT OFF... IT WORKED... IT REALLY WORKED..."
Eric Embry: " I'm sure ya'll wanna know why..... hehehe... was it the money? No... no.. no.. REVENGE.. you see I live by a moto... NEVER FORGIVE...
