Date:                  11-05-88

Location:           Atlanta, GA

Arena:               WTBS Studios

Commentary:    Tony Schiavone & David Crockett

TS:  Hello everyone!  I'm Tony Schiavone, along side David Crockett, and we welcome you to a historic episode of World Championship Wrestling!  At this time, we would like to welcome Mr. Ted Turner, the head of Turner Media, for a special announcement. (Turner walks in) Mr. Turner, the microphone is yours.

TT:  Thank you, Tony and David.  It is a great honor for me to be here tonight.  I have been a fan of professional wrestling since I was a child.  I grew up watching such legends as Gorgeous George and the original Nature Boy, Buddy Rogers.  On Tuesday, I purchased controlling interest in Jim Crockett Promotions, which means I am now the majority owner of this fine organization.

Sadly, when businesses are purchased, there are changes soon to follow.  I would like to announce a few of those changes at this time.  The first is that from this day forward, Jim Crockett Promotions will be known as World Championship Wrestling.  The second change is a major one.  As of noon today, World Championship Wrestling has left the National Wrestling Alliance.  In exchange for a clean break, I promised the NWA Board of Directors that all titles held by members of World Championship Wrestling would be returned to them.

The third change is in programming.  I took the name World Championship Wrestling from this flagship program of Jim Crockett Promotions.  I've decided that from now on, this program will be called WCW Saturday Night.  Our great broadcasters, Tony Schiavone and David Crockett will not be going any where and will be here each and ever Saturday at 6:05pm to call all the action.  The Main Event will still be on Sundays at 6:05pm, but will now be called WCW Main Event, with Jim Ross and Bob Caudle calling all the action.

Last but not least, I would like to introduce everyone to the man who will be handling the day-to-day operations of World Championship Wrestling, Magnum T.A.!

TA:  Thank you Mr. Turner for this incredible opportunity.  It feels great to get back in this ring and in front of the greatest wrestling fans in the world.  I am honored that Mr. Turner has entrusted me to lead this amazing wrestling company.  With that being said, Mr. Turner did say we have broken away from the National Wrestling Alliance, and do not have any champions.  I am proud to announce that my first act as Commissioner, is to let you know starting in two weeks, we will have a twelve man, round robin tournament to determine the very first WCW World Heavyweight Champion.

Our fans deserve nothing but the best.  This is why I'm bringing in the twelve best wrestlers from around the world.  Six will compete on WCW Saturday Night and the other six will compete on WCW Main Event.  The winners of both shows will be in the main event of Starrcade on December 26 to determine who will be the World Heavyweight Champion and the face of World Championship Wrestling.

I will announce next week who the twelve participants will be.  Thank you very much!

TS:  Thank you very much Mr. Turner and Magnum T.A.!  There you have it ladies and gentlemen, we are now World Championship Wrestling!

DC:  I can't believe Magnum T.A. is now running Jim Crock....I mean World Championship Wrestling!  We haven't heard from him since he announced his retirement on this very program on February 7th of last year!

TS:  You are right David Crockett.  What a coup by Ted Turner and Turner Broadcasting to get such a great man to run the day-to-day operations of this organization!  Let's go to the ring and get the action under way with our first match of the night!

Singles Match

Ron Simmons vs. Rip Morgan

Ron Simmons wins by pinfall with the Seminole Slam (11:27)

After the match, the rest of the Sheepherders (Luke Williams & Butch Miller) run in and attack Simmons.  Simmons tag team partner, Eddie Gilbert runs in and makes the save, helping the former Florida State football player clear the ring of the three Sheepherders.

DC:  Alright ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert and Ron Simmons.  Ron are you alright?

RS:  David, as long as I've been a mature man, nothing like this has ever happened to me.  If you take any word that I have said to you over the past month that I've been out here, I promise you that I will get them back for this!

DC:  Eddie, they are doing this to try and take you out of a potential World Tag Team Title Tournament.

EG:  I want everybody at home to turn the volume up a little bit on their television.  Let me tell you something a little personal about "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert.  When I was growing up, I remember turning the TV on and all you saw was the news talking about the Vietnam War and you see people burning the American flag.  We couldn't do nothing about it, David Crockett!  We had to sit here on our butts in America, we had to listen to the media and we had to listen to everybody.  Now we have three bums that come out here, waving the New Zealand flag and they want to talk about America.  They want to run it down!  Well brother, this is one body and I can do what I want to now!  I can fight back!  I'm gonna tell you white, black, it doesn't matter the creed or color!  Ron Simmons and myself are the living proof, if you put us together, we will win every time.  Sheepherders, you can either love America, or you can leave it... and the best thing you can do is leave it.

DC:  Alright, thank you Ron Simmons and Eddie Gilbert.  Fans, when we come back, we will have highlights of The Road Warriors vs. The Midnight Express from this past weekend in New Orleans.

Commercial Break featuring an advertisement for the Clash of the Champions on December 7th.

TS:  It was one week ago tonight, in downtown New Orleans at the Municipal Auditorium.  The Midnight Express were defending the NWA World Tag Team Titles against The Road Warriors.

DC:  Tony, I had the privilege to sit ringside for one of the most exciting tag team matches, and without a doubt one of the most exciting World Tag Team Title matches I have ever witnessed.  A lot of intensity, the crowd in New Orleans was alive and really into it.  The match is going to tell the entire story of how The Road Warriors became the NWA Tag Team Champions.  Fans, I will tell you there was a startling development at the very beginning of the match.

TS:  David Crockett, you will be talking to The Road Warriors after we take a look at what happened.  Let's go take a look now, at this historic moment.

Highlights are sown of the bloody and physical match that sees the crowning of new NWA World Tag Team Champions, The Road Warriors!

DC:  Ladies and gentlemen, here they are, along with their manager, Paul Ellering, The Road Warriors...Hawk and Animal!

RA:  It's about time David Crockett!  You know, back when we had world title shots before, it was always Sting getting jumped by someone else!  He would say, "Road Warriors, come help me!  I need your help!" Then Lex Luger, with Barry Windham and The Horsemen jumping you, who did you call?  You called The Road Warriors!  But we have had it!  Dusty Rhodes, when you got in trouble, who did you call?  You called the only guys you could depend on that kicked butt!  We're tired of carrying you!  We're tired of carrying you Sting!  And we are tired of carrying you Luger!  Now we aren't going to come out here David Crockett and wait for Clash of the Champions!  We'll issue a challenge to anybody to prove that nobody can wrestle better than us and nobody fights better than us!  Tell 'em Hawk!

RH:  David Crockett!  I told you a long time ago, when you quit screwing around and helping everybody and go ahead and help yourself, you reap benefits.  Well, we're reaping benefits.  We won the NWA Tag Team belts and we aims to take whatever belts Ted Turner has.  Lex Luger, Sting, you got a problem with us?  I'll jack your stinking jaws a city block and I ain't kiddin' about nothin'!  Don't help anybody but yourselves, if you want to get somewhere in this world!  Dusty Rhodes, you just better shut your mouth!  And you just better keep your nose out of somethin' that don't have none of your business in it!  Tell 'em Paul!

PE:  Well David Crockett, the bottom line is we needed the NWA belts, because those belts represented a lot of money to The Road Warriors.  The bottom line to any business, whether it be IBM, GM or The Road Warriors is money!  And that is what we are interested in!  It never was friendship!  It never was friendship Luger!  It never was friendship Sting!  And Dusty Rhodes, we used you!  Just like we used everybody else to get the bottom line, and that's money!

RH:  You can never lose a friend, that was never one to begin with.

DC:  Alright everyone, more action to come, right here on the SuperStation TBS!

Singles Match

Bam Bam Bigelow (w/ Sir Oliver Humperdink) vs. Trent Knight

Bam Bam Bigelow wins via pinfall with a gordbuster suplex (3:54)

DC:  Alright ladies and gentlemen, here they are, "The Beast From the East" Bam Bam Bigelow and Sir Oliver Humperdink.  Mr. Humperdink, you are after Ric Flair and Barry Windham, isn't that correct?

OH:  From three thousand miles, across the Pacific Ocean, comes The Beast from the East, from Tokyo, Japan.  Back to the "Big Peach", Atlanta, GA.  Back to the SuperStation WTBS, and he is breathing fire and flames.  There are a couple of individuals that I have already served warning on.  Barry Windham...soon to meet Bam Bam Bigelow in the squared circle!  Ric Flair, who is very, very fond of shooting his mouth off, when the big man is three thousand miles away!  Well Ric Flair, I don't see you shooting your mouth off here today.  Where are ya?  Where are ya?  When he's in Tokyo, you're a big man.  You wanna fight?  You wanna call names?  Well you're on the list to, Flair.  And before too long, you'll be in the ring with The Beast From the East.  And you'll have to contend with the man from Asbury Park of fire and flames!  Let me tell you one thing.  I came out here when I first came to SuperStation TBS and I said we had a guy in mind for a partner.  I'm ready to divulge the name of that individual right here today.  The individual who I was thinking of, the individual who is going to be tagged with Bam Bam Bigelow, is "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes!  If you would have told me five years ago, that I would have been out here talking about Dusty Rhodes in a positive light, I would have called you a fool.  I didn't think it was possible, but the combination has been formed.  It doesn't matter if it's Ric Flair, Barry Windham, or any combination there of.  The day is going to come when you have to step into the ring with The Beast From the East and Dusty Rhodes.  Beast, I want you to talk to these people for a moment.

BB:  Well you know, The Beast From the East, has had a lot of partners.  But never, had he had a partner, or someone to watch his back, like "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes!  Whether it's you Flair or Windham or both of you together!  I got someone to watch my back, so come on!  Play with fire and get burned!

DC:  Alright ladies and gentlemen, they are talking about Ric Flair, and he's up next!

Commercial Break with an advertisement for The Main Event Hotline

DC:  Ladies and gentlemen, when he comes in a room, everyone stands up and applauds.  We are talking about, "Nature Boy" Ric Flair.

RF:  David, you've heard the expression, "A picture is worth a thousand words." Turn the camera over there one time (pointing towards Ted Turner and Magnum T.A.) This is the Turner Broadcasting System, this is the NBA, and now WCW.  We're number one!  You an tell I'm excited about basketball season, can't ya?  Let me tell you what else I'm excited about.  And that is simply the fact that James J. Dillon, manages THE World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion!  And because I am the champion, I can have any woman in the world I want (snaps fingers) just like that!  Right honey?

DC:  Wait a minute!  You aren't the champion any more.  All the titles were vacated earlier this evening by Ted Turner!

RF:  Who in the hell do you think you are?  Don't ever interrupt me again David Crockett!  It doesn't matter what a nobody like Ted Turner says!  At the end of the day, that title is mine!  Now then.  When a guy like Sir Oliver Humperdink walks out here with Bam Bam Bigelow and hollers my name!  Hollers Mr. Dillon's name, or hollers Barry Windham's name...it is total insanity!  To think that for one minute, people in our position in life are listening.  We are what makes wrestling go.  We are the select group known as The Four Hoursemen.  We are kiss stealing, wheeling dealing, limosene riding, jet flying, son of a guns!  We just happen to be your champions.  Like it, or don't like it... learn to love it!  Because if you ask any woman on the face of this Earth, or any wrestler, it is the best thing going today!  Woooo.

DC:  Alright ladies and gentlemen, there they are, Ric Flair and J.J. Dillon.  Now let's go to the ring and The Fantastics!

Tag Team Match

The Fantastics (Bobby Fulton & Tommy Rogers) vs. Gary Royal and George South

The Fantastics win by pinfall with a senton splash (3:00)

Commercial Break that includes The College Scoreboard

DC:  Ladies and gentlemen, here they are...The Fantastics!  (Fulton is walking around waving the American flag) What is this?  Are you guys trying to be like The Sheepherders?

BF:  We're not going to try and do like The Sheepherders, because we're gonna beat The Sheepherders as if we were Sheepherders!  It's time to fight fire with fire!  You see this here (putting the flag in front of him) Luke, Butch and Rip, those three big goofs that carry around their red, white and blue.  Well this is the real red, white and blue right here, and all these people here (pointing to the crowd) know all about it too!  It's time to stand up and fight for one thing, and that's America!  You know, the election is coming up in just a couple of days and we've got to make the right choice.  Well our right choice is going to be to beat those Sheepherders anytime we step in the ring!  Sheepherders let me tell you this:  We don't care how much blood we are going to spill, because as long as we've got this (clutching the flag) in our hands and the people behind use, we are going to keep going a long, long way.  Because we march everywhere to Gooooodddddd Bless America!  Hey listen Tommy, talk some, I'm getting excited!

TR:  That's ok Bobby.  I like the way you talk, because you're talking American talk, like all these people can relate to!  You know, we figure The Sheepherders, they come out here holding their flag up high.  Well why couldn't we do it/  What's good for the goose is good for the gander (fans start chanting USA! USA! USA!) is what we say here in the United States of America!  So Sheepherders, get it fired up!  The Fantastics are ready!  You can take that to the bank!  You can cash it and you can invest it on some bonds!  Come on Sheepherders!  We're waitin' for ya! Wooooahhhhhhh! (mocking The Sheepherders)

DC:  Alright ladies and gentlemen, that's The Fantastics!  Now "The Total Package" Lex Luger is on his way!

Singles Match

Lex Luger vs. Agent Steel

Lex Luger wins by submission with the Torture Rack (1:56)

DC:  He is definitely packing some heavy iron, "The Total Package" Lex Luger!

LL:  You know David Crockett, I want everybody out here to know, Lex Luger is feeling good.  I want everybody in the audience to know, that The Total Package is feeling great.  I am (double bicep pose) the greatest condition of my life!  I know I have to be!  You know, The Stinger isn't laying at home or in a hospital bed or any such thing!  Me and him have been in the gym, getting ready for the biggest task we have ever taken on!  They don't come any bigger than The Road Warriors!  WE both know that!  It's not an easy job, but sometimes the motivation is so overwhelming!  You know David, I watched them win those glorious NWA Tag Team Titles.  The way they won them (applauding with sarcasm) what heroes!  First they jump Jim Cornette from behind.  Then they jump Stan Lane from behind.  Then they jump Bobby Eaton from behind.  This has become your forte!  Well let me tell you something.  Before the Turner purchase, I was the number one contender to the heavyweight title and The Stinger was the number one contender for the United States title.  And we will join forces as a tag team, and Road Warriors, you will have us to reckon with!  Our pride and our dignity is on the line!  Put those big bucks you are pulling down in the bank, because you have the absolute challenge of your life and so do we!  God knows we have the motivation and the fans behind us!  We are going to do exactly what we want to do and that is take a piece of revenge!  Because you sweat and bleed just like any other human being!  Halloween is over!  It's our turn!

DC:  Alright, he is fired up and he is ready for them!  Ladies and gentlemen, there is more action to come right after this.  We are going to see Jim Cornette and The Midnight Express!

Commercial Break with tour dates including Thanksgiving night at The Omni in Atlanta

DC:  Alright ladies and gentlemen, here are the former NWA World Tag Team Champions, The Midnight Express with Jim Cornette!

JC:  Well first of all, you don't get a fancy intro today, maybe I will do it after I finish having my piece to say here.  But right now I feel like everybody ought to see Beautiful Bobby and Sweet Stan.  How many times have I come out here David Crockett, and said that The Midnight Express lost the match and it was our fault?  Huh?  How many times?  How many times have I said that it was our fault?  You know what a goose egg looks like?

DC:  Zero.

JC:  That's exactly right.  Now pay attention.  It was our fault.  We lost the match to The Road Warriors.  It was our fault because we got caught with our pants down brother, plain and simple.  We trusted The Road Warriors.  Just like Lex Luger and Sting trusted them and got the shaft.  Just like all these people trusted them and got the shaft.  We're supposed to be the ones to jump from behind.  We're supposed to be the ones with all the dirty tactics.  So we trusted them a little too far.  First of all, Paul Ellering came and drug me off the apron from behind.  I will be the first to say it, that I can't whip Paul Ellering.  So Sweet Stan Lane, he jumped down there and he tore into Paul Ellering and he was beating his brains out.  But The Road Warriors, the guys who like to fight, the two baddest guys in the world, both of them took that opportunity to jump Bobby Eaton from behind.  They threw him out of the ring, threw him into the post, busted his head open, and made him see double.  He didn't know where he was and they massacred him out there on the floor. 

Well I came back around and I got Stan up.  He had saw what had gone on with his partner, and Stan Lane with more guts in his little finger than The Road Warriors had in heir whole stinking bodies, he jumped in there and fought both of them.  One, because of what they did to Bobby and two, because the titles were on the line.  The odds were against him and he knew that and he was shining pretty good for a while.  But then they got him down and they were doing a number on him.  I tried to get Bobby up.  His head was busted, couldn't see straight and I tried to get him back to the dressing room.  But Bobby Eaton, because of the kind of guy he is, pushed me away.  He saw the titles were on the line.  He saw his partner was in trouble and he tried to get back in that ring and he did.  He jumped back up on that apron.  When Stan fell close to their corner, Bobby made the tag.  When he came in, he was kicking those big freaks butts all the way across that ring!  But the damage was already done.  Animal came out of that corner and clotheslined him goofy.  He pinned Bobby 1-2-3.

I've never gotten mad at Bobby for losing a match, because he don't very often.  I didn't get mad at him this time, because he showed more guts in getting back in that ring than The Road Warriors and Paul Ellering put together.  So I will tell you this Road Warriors, you say you like to fight.  I know it's a corny saying, but "Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me." If you've got the guts to get back in the ring with The Midnight Express, you like to fight, well that's what you're gonna get.  The damndest fight you've ever been in of your life brother.  Because we are gonna show you some dirty tactics and back jumping next time around.  Right now, because Bobby is not medically cleared yet, I'm gonna send Stan to the ring by himself.  I pity the poor fool, to use an expression from Mr. T, that wants to get in the ring with "The Gangster of Love" Sweet Stan Lane.

Singles Match

Stan Lane (w/ Bobby Eaton) vs. The Menace II

Jim Cornette is with the commentary team

TS:  I understand from our directory, Tommy Edwards, that there is an important phone call that needs to be patched through here to the studio.

JC:  Your wife can tell you to pick up some eggs and milk on the way back home Tony, when you get off national television.

TS:  I apologize for this, but this is really, really out of the ordinary, but I do need to answer this (answering the phone)

JC:  Why couldn't you have done this during The Russian Assassin's match?  They don't have nothing better to do.

TS:  They are telling me what to do Jim.  Would you please?

JC:  Somebody better tell you what to do.

TS:  (talking into the phone) Hello? (pause) Hold on.  Jim Cornette, it is for you.

JC:  I don't have time to take phone calls on national television Tony!  Hang it up!

TS:  It's a collect call.

JC:  (taking the phone) Hello? (pause) What? Who is this? (pause) Who is it really? (pause) Say that one more time. (pause) It is you! You little jerk! What did you do?  Did you call up to gloat about us losing the titles now or what?  Huh? (pause) You little...alright.  I'm going to tell you the same thing I've always told you goes, ever since you started this whole thing in the first place.  Any time you want to show up brother, we'll take you head on.  We ain't scared of you.  You're a jerk and those two are geeks. (pause) Ok, well yeah.  Any time, like I've made the offer to you before.  Any time you want to show up, we will settle the thing once and for all.  In the mean time, you know what this sounds like? Liste. (slams the phone down) There.

TS:  Who was that?

JC:  I ain't gonna tell you who it was.  It doesn't matter a bit who it was.  Jesus Christ! (Cornette runs to the ring)

Camera cuts to two men attacking Stan Lane and Bobby Eaton

TS:  That's Dennis Condrey and the other guy....that's Randy Rose!

Guy in a suit hits Cornette in the head with a portable phone

TS:  That's Paul E. Dangerously!  He just hit Jim Cornette in the face with what looks like a portable phone! 

DC:  What are they doing here?  They don't even wrestle here!  They are not a part of World Championship Wrestling at all!  Dennis Condrey used to be in The Midnight Express!  Look at Cornette, Tony!  He's been busted open!

TS:  These men who call themselves The Original Midnight Express are decimating Jim Cornette and The Midnight Express!  We gotta take a break!  We will be back!

Match ruled a No Contest after the attack by The Original Midnight Express and Paul E. Dangerously (2:30)

Commercial Break

Singles Match

Eddie Gilbert vs. Mike Jackson

Eddie Gilbert wins by pinfall with the Hot Shot (4:21)

DC:  A great win for "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert.  Now let's go to my partner, Tony Schiavone, who is with "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes!

TS:  Thank you very much David Crockett.  This man beside me here, knows what it is like to wrestle for one million dollars, knows what it is like to pin the shoulders of the World Heavyweight Champion.  Three times he has been the World Heavyweight Champion, and Starrcade comes around again.  This time, it's at The Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina.

DR:  Well Starrcade is always a big event for "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes.  But there is something a little more in my craw that Starrcade, if you will.  I feel a little responsible for The Road Warriors.  The bottom line is brother, The Stinger and Lex Luger ain't gonna let this thing pass.  They ain't gonna let this thing go by.  The Road Warriors got to be stopped right now!  So personally, I'm taking it upon myself to tell you something, Animal.  You're always out here, when the rest of them are gone somewhere.  When the plane's delayed or when the car's delayed.  Animal is out here talking about how bad they are and how everybody should be scared of them.  Well let me tell you something baby.  There ain't a steroid running through this body baby!  All this body's got in it is just a little whiskey, a little bit of fight, a big heart and an occasional night out with a lady of the evening!  That's what this body's got in it!  So let me tell you something big boy, The Road Warriors, Paul Ellering, my Six-Man Tag Team Champions...remember that?  Now then, dues got to be paid!  In public, if you will! So Hawk, you get yourself ready! One on one! Animal, you get yourself ready!  One on one!  Or you both come out here and jump on this man, "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes!  Because now is the time to tell it like it is!  And Dusty Rhodes, damn sure ain't scared of The Road Warriors!  And that my friend, is funky like a monkey!

Singles Match

Mike Rotunda (w/ Kevin Sullivan and Rick Steiner) vs. Bob Emery

During the match, Steiner kept preventing Sullivan from attacking Emery on the outside of the ring.  The Varsity Club seems very divided tonight.

Mike Rotunda wins by pinfall with a butterfly suplex (2:15)

TS:  Let's go to David Crockett who is with The Varsity Club.

DC:  Ladies and gentlemen, with us now, Kevin Sullivan and members of The Varsity Club, Mike Rotunda and Rick Steiner....who appears to be a very popular wrestler.

KS:  Certainly is very popular, Listen you know...

MR:  You are a real childhood brain, you know that Steiner?

RS:  Shut up (sounding like a whiney school kid)

Bickering between the three members of The Varsity Club, Rick wanting to know why Sullivan is wearing Rotunda's lettermans jacket and not his.

KS:  (appearing to regain control and turns back to the microphone) You know The Varsity Club now has come together.  I have done what no man has ever done before!  Mike Rotunda and Dr. Death on the same team.  The Varsity Club...

RS:  ...and me.

KS:  ...and Rick Steiner. (sarcasm)  Let's not forget about Rick Steiner.

Bickering again between The Varsity Club.  This time about Rick saying he beat Dr. Death and the other two saying he never beat Dr. Death.

KS: (turning back to the microphone again) You know a lot of things are happening at TBS.  It's getting to be the hottest place in town.  Next week, Ric Flair will be here.  And you see, we're gonna come here strong, and we're gonna show the people....where's your belt, Steiner?

MR:  He doesn't have his belt.

RS:  I forgot it.

MR.  Where's your belt?

KS:  Where's your belt, man?

RS:  I forgot it.

MR:  Where?

RS:  I dunno.

MR:  Well you're gonna go find it. (pushing Steiner)

More bickering between the three members of The Varsity Club.  Sullivan grabs Steiner by the hair and brings him closer to the microphone.

KS:  Stay right here.  I want you to listen to one thing.  I am the head of The Varsity Club.  Do you understand?  Michael, you finish this interview.  (Sullivan walks off with Steiner, chastising him as they walk off set.)

MR:  Now that I have a chance to talk, I was the greatest World Television Champion of all time  I'm also number one in The Varsity Club.  That means Steiner is number three now, because Dr. Death has come in.  Him and I are a great team and Steiner is...well Steiner is Steiner.

DC:  Alright ladies and gentlemen, you've heard from The Varsity Club.  More action to come, right after this, on the SuperStation!

BM:  Whoaaaaaaa.  You know David Crockett, there seems to be an awful lot of patriotic bloody Yankee tag teams around at the moment!

LW:  That's right cousin.  That's right.

BM:  You see, we have Eddie Gilbert and Ron Simmons out here on this program, talking about Vietnam!  Talking about their country!  Talking about their flag!  And we have The Fantastics out here at TBS, waving that red, white and blue, pulling stupid faces!  Making stupid actions!  But you see, David Crockett!

Abdullah the Butcher (w/ Gary Hart) vs. David Isley

Abdullah the Butcher wins by pinfall with an elbow drop (2:26)

DC:  Gary Hart, I dunno.  I dunno about this thing.

GH:  Let me tell you what you're looking at now.  He is the fiercest, most daring, terrifying wrestling that has ever participated in a wrestling match.  Anybody, anywhere, that does not fear the name of the almighty Abdullah the Butcher is either an insane fool, or they're lying to you.  This man that you see is not an ordinary being.  He has reigned terror in the wrestling business for more years than any man.  There ain't a single human being that can say deep in their heart that they do not fear the baddest of the bad, the biggest of the big, the black terror that is going to change things at TBS.  He's here for a purpose.  He's here for a reason.  Everybody that has shun me, made light of me, the black monster will take care of everything.  Because there's only one Abdullah the Butcher.  The real boogeyman has arrived on TBS.

DC:  Thank you very much Gary Hart.  Ladies and gentlemen, we will see you tomorrow night, where we will hopefully have more on the condition of Jim Cornette, as well as more on the purchase of Jim Crockett Promotions by Ted Turner.  Goodnight everybody!
