108 – WRESTLING SUPERSTARS
Live from Golden State Studios, Burbank, CA!
The show’s opening titles cut to the ring to see a newcomer standing in the middle of it. Nacho Barrera.
BARRERA: My name is Nacho Barrera and I’ve come to Golden State Wrestling to dominate the competition here! So send anyone out and let me face them!
After a moment, bagpipes fill the studios as Rowdy Roddy Piper stalks to the ring with Cowboy Bob Orton accompanying him. Nacho looks confident as Piper climbs into the ring.
MATCH #1
Rowdy Roddy Piper d. Nacho Barrera via pinfall after smashing Barrera with a FOREIGN OBJECT – * – Nacho started with a blistering offense knocking Piper off guard. But Piper soon rebounded and took control. He did, though, use a Foreign Object to finish things off. What a debut for Nacho Barrera!
MATCH #2
Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka d. Kenny Jay via pinfall after the SUPERFLY LEAP – SQUASH
SNUKA: We are now tied, one to one in our battle. I promise you that I will win the next match and I want to be sure that the rest of your Heenan Family members see it up close and personal. That’s why I’m proposing our next encounter is a Lumberjack Match!
The fans are all for this as the fight between Snuka and Mr. Perfect continues.
MATCH #3
BRITISH BULLDOGS d. George South & Mister X via pinfall when Davey Boy Smith covered George South after TOWER OF LONDON – SQUASH – Another solid victory for the BULLDOGS.
ALBANO: Cornette, you get Lane and Eaton ready! The BULLDOGS are coming for you to shut you up once and for all.
MATCH #4
King Kong Bundy d. Jim Milliman via pinfall after an especially brutal body slam – SQUASH
BUNDY: Hey! Terry Gordy! I’ve gotten real sick of you coming out here week after week, bitchin’ about how you ain’t won a title yet. If you don’t knock it off, I’m gonna shut you up myself.
MATCH #5
TEXAS DEATH MATCH
KILLER BEES d. THE QUEBECERS via pinfall when B. Brian Blair covered Pierre Carl Oullett after a double back drop – * – KILLER BEES pick up a quick win, shocking THE QUEBECERS! After the bell, the four men continue to brawl until wrestlers spill out of the back to break them up.
PIPER’S PIT
with guest: Andre the Giant
Piper, usually, antagonistic to Andre, asked him about his upcoming Steel Cage encounter with HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION Iron Sheik.
Andre looked into the camera.
ANDRE: Sheik, for months you’ve been running. Running scared. When you step into that cage…no more running. You will have to face The Giant once and for all.
