Blears, “Tally-Ho everyone and aloha! I’m here with High Chief Peter Maivia. Peter, you certainly surprised Ripper Collins last week.”
Maivia, “I did. He cheated to beat Don Leo Jonathan and I wasn’t happy with that. I’m glad that I will be getting a chance at the Hawaiian Title.”
Blears, “Yes you will. Tomorrow night at the Blaisdell Center, it will be Peter Maivia taking on Ripper Collins for the Hawaiian Title. Don’t miss that one. We will see Peter in action later in the program. Also fans we will see the two semi-final matches in the tournament for the Hawaiian Tag Team Titles. The Wild Samoans will meet Johnny Karisma and Jerry Monit and the Von Steigers will take on Bill Francis and Sam Steamboat.”

Francis, “Destroyer, you are one of the best known masked men in the sport. You didn’t make it to the finals of the tournament for the Hawaiian Title. What are your plans now?”
Destroyer, “First of all, it’s the ‘Intelligent, Sensational Destroyer. I would have won the title if you hadn’t assigned an incompetent official in my match with Jonathan. Now I get another chance to show him what I can do.”

Destroyer, “Intelligent, Sensational Destroyer, get it right Francis and Jonathan, I will beat you!”
