CANNON makes his way to the announce table
 
CANNON:  Robert, my name is GEORGE CANNON and I am not a CRYBABY!  If I am going to be treated this way, I will be forced to have BULLDOG BROWER and GEORGE STEELE come out here and teach you a lesson on respect!
 
JENKINS:  I apologize.  Speaking of BROWER and STEELE, they caused quite a bit of damage at Hinkle Fieldhouse and Evansville this week!
 
CANNON:  Yes they did, didn't they?  They fought THE GRAHAMS all over the Fieldhouse Sunday and destroyed CARPETIER, THOMAS, KENT and THE MOONDOG, leaving them in a pool of blood!!!  You see, last week I said that I was unleashing the greatest destructive force in professional wrestling history and I did.  We will destroy THE GRAHAMS tomorrow night at the Hinkle Fieldhouse and then we will turn our attention to our true targets...BRUISER & CRUSHER!!!  
 
JENKINS:  We'll see about that!  Fans, stay tuned.  When we get back, we'll see CHRIS COLT in action!!!

MATCH #1
 
CHRIS COLT destroys JOHNNY DAVIS with a vicious kick to the wind pipe.
 
 
JENKINS:  CHRIS, last Wednesday in Evansville, you defeated BOBO BRAZIL and injured his knee.  The doctor has advised him to rest it for a couple of weeks.
 
COLT:  That's right, I hurt BOBO pretty bad and I don't think we'll ever see him around here again!  Now, I hear I have to face BRAZIL's friend MARK LEWIN at the Hinkle Fieldhouse tomorrow and inFt. Wayne this Wednesday.  Well, I hope he's got his insurance paid up 'cause I plan on cripplin' him like I did that joke BRAZIL!  I have only begun my mission to retire all the so-called fan favorites in this area!  
 
JENKINS:  Fans, let's go to our next match
 
MATCH #2
 
MARK LEWIN defeats THE BEAST with the sleeperhold as CHRIS COLT watches from ringside.
 
 
JENKINS:  MARK, great win!
 
LEWIN:  Thanks BOB.  I am here today with a heavy heart.  My friend BOBO BRAZIL was injured in Evansville at the hands of CHRIS COLT.  Now, I know, that BOBO is a man and can take care of his own business, but I want to teach that creep COLT a lesson.  This Wednesday, I have my chance at the Hinkle Fieldhouse and in Ft. Wayne.  CHRIS COLT, this is a promise from me to you.  You will bleed a bucket of blood this week!
 
 
JENKINS:  We'll be back.

MITSU ARAKAWA pummels DUNCAN MacTAVISH in under a minute with the claw.
 
JENKINS:  MR. CANNON, that was an impressive win by ARAKAWA!
 
CANNON:  Very...Hmmm.
 
 
JENKINS:  This week we will have two special guests in the area.  First, this man...
 
Film clip of ABDULLAH THE BUTCHER mauling an opponent airs.
 
JENKINS:  That's right fans, ABDULLAH THE BUTCHER will be at the Hinkle Fieldhouse tomorrow night facing THE CRUSHER!  We will also have the AWA World Heavyweight Champion NICK BOCKWINKEL on the card tomorrow night as he faces DICK THE BRUISER!!!  Here are some comments from MR. BOCKWINKEL!
 
Film clip shows with BOCKWINKEL wearing a sports coat and craddling the AWAtitle belt.
 
BOCKWINKEL:  Apparently, I am being scolded by the American Wrestling Association.  Why else would a man of my grace and class be forced to wrestle in Indianapolis.  I mean, no offense, but the only thing the people of Indiana are noted for are stiff necks from watching cars go round and round in a circle once a year.  I am used to the finer things in life:  Limosines, jets, sports cars, caviar, and champagne.  To you people, a luxury is a bar of soap.  Just look at whom I'm wrestling tomorrow night.  DICK THE BRUISER!  I will need to be de-loused after touching that neanderthal.  My skills are far superior to his and I will make short work of him. After that, all of you losers, I mean Hoosiers, will never see me in this hick town again.  It has been your pleasure!
 
JENKINS:  Fans, we'll be right back!
 
CANNON:  I agree with the champion 100%

LUKE grabs CANNON by the lapels pushes him against the set
 
LUKE:  CANNON, we're not through with STEELE & BROWER!!!  They got us arrested and cost us lots of money in the process.  Nobody will be able to pull us off of them this week.  We're going to destroy them and then we're gonna make you bleed like a stuck pig!  Nobody comes in here and pushes us around.  We're the toughest, meanest, CRAZIEST team around and this week we'll prove it! There's not a building in Indiana that can hold this.  One of us ain't gonna survive this war and you better believe it ain't gonna be us!  Tell yer boys we're ready for 'em!
 
Cannon feigns a heart attack and runs from the set crying!

CLOSING CREDITS
 
 
                        
 
 
 

very well done , the blue has to go , it is so hard to see. I loved the show and thanks for the hard work you have done.

Better use of the colors, but the blue is a little harder to see.
 
Good use of Jenkins and his interactions with the wrestlers are great.
 
Good wins for Colt and Lewin.
 
Good win by the Grahams!
 
Great tv!

Real good TV. What you have has the feel of what I was doing with PPK when I helped him run Ohio back earlier this year. I like that the WWA has it's own feel and seperate writer so that you have your onw stories. That is key to making this your place.
 
Steele and Brower vs. the Grahams is a great heel v.heel feud, but I get the sense that you are turning the Grahams. Not sure how that will play, but I'll wait and see.
 
Bock vs. the Butcher will be a great contest and clash of styles. Again though, I see a heel v. heel match and neitehr can really get over as a fan favorite.
 
Good work here.
