JOSE ALEX PEREZ V BEAUREGARDE During the match, BRASS KNUX CHAMP FLAMA ROJA sits down with Tom and Gene!
Roja: "Senors, I hear so much about this, this Jose Alex Perez, they say he is boxer, they say he is wrestler, there is nothing this Jose Alex Perez cannot do, he is such a special man! Then they say perhaps, tomorrow night in Juarez, at El Gimnasio, he take the Brass Knux title off Flama Roja. We see about that, do you understand?
Its a tough TV match, Beauregarde is well traveled, but PEREZ WITH A RIGHT HAND, AND DOWN GOES BEAUREGARDE, he is not used to his pretty face being hit like that, and Perez quickly covers with a pin at 7:04!
WAIT!!! IT IS THE WORLD BRASS KNUX CHAMPION! HE ENTERS THE RING, AND SHOVES PEREZ, AND PUTS HIS DUKES UP!!! Fans, FLAMA ROJA WANTS TO GOE TOE TO TOE WITH JOSE ALEX PEREZ, AND THIS MAY BE A MISTAKE!
They draw close----- Roja with a left, Roja with a right, but Perez ducks and swerves and both blows miss . . .
.

.
.
.
.
.
.
. . . . . then a ONE-TWO COMBO, AND ROJA IS DOWN LIKE A TON OF BRICKS!!! SEVERAL OFFICIALS RUN INTO THE RING TO STOP THE FRACAS, BUT fans, Jose Alex Perez has surely proven that he has what it takes to be World Brass Knux Champion tomorrow night in Juarez as Perez leaves the ring with Roja, flat on his back, holding his jaw! More after this!

Tom and Gene are standing in front of a cinderblock wall, in a pretaped segment for televsion:
Tom: "Folks, Flama Roja is dazed, and is confused, but was able to leave the ring under his own power, theres no denying the toughness of Flama Roja, but I feel all the toughness in the world is not going to be enough for the right hand of Jose Alex Perez tomorrow night at El Gimnasio! Gene, what do we have next?
Gene: "Tom last week we saw the shocking and appalling actions of the ruthless and sadistic Pharaoh. Since then EVERYONE seems to be talking about the Pharaoh. He is scheduled to wrestle the very popular mexican star Raul Matta tomorrow night in Juarez, lets go now to this film sent in by The Great Mephisto and his charge, The Pharaoh.
Great Mephisto speaks on a mike as The Pharaoh, in full headdress of course, is fanned by his slave girls!
Mephisto: "BEHOOOOOOOOOOLD THE MIGHT AND POWER OF THE MIGHTY PHARAOH, RULER OF THE UPPER AND LOWER NILE AND ALL OF PAN AMERICAN WRESTLING!!!! MORTALS, cast your inferior eyes AWAY FROM YOUR TELEVISION SETS, FOR NONE OF YOU ARE WORTHY OF GAZING UPON THE DIVINE ONE!!!!
"Ringo Mendoza, last week you dared defy the Pharaoh, and you paid THE ULTIMATE PRICE, and now you are GONE FOREVER FROM PAN-AMERICAN WRESTLING, banished into the REALM OF DARKNESS!!!! Last week the referee also saw fit to try and disgrace His Highness and disqualify the Pharaoh, well the Mighty One SCOFFS at such rulings, for it was YOU, RINGO MENDOZA that was disqualified, for you were not WORTHY OF STEPPING INTO THE RING WITH THE GREAT AND EXALTED PHARAOH!!!! Wins and losses are the scorecard of lower forms of being, and they are of NO CONCERN TO THE MAN BORN OF IMMORTALITY!!!
"Tomorrow night in Juarez, Raul Matta, you will face the same choice that Ringo Mendoza faced last week----- bow down, and castigate yourself upon the Great One--- OR YOU WILL PAY THE SAME PRICE THAT RINGO MENDOZA DID---BANISHMENT INTO AN ETERNAL EXISTENCE FULL OF PAIN AND TORMENT!!!!
"And let the lesson of one Ringo Meondoza be a lesson to every one in Pan-American Wrestling, for tommorow night at El Gimnasio should Senor Matta DARE TO BEFOUL the very ring that the Pharaoh stand in by not showing the proper respect . . . . . .
.

(The Pharaoh looks towards the camera, and as it pans to him, he lifts one eyebrow)

" . . . . . HE WILL BE MADE INTO AN OBJECT LESSON FOR ALL!!!
"BWAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Gori: "A big opportunity for Hamada, Llanes and Dantes tomorrow night in Juarez. Los Villanos are legendary in Mexican wrestling circles, Tom and Gene, and are synonymous with with the six man tag team titles, but lets not take anything away from this team. Gran Hamada is a great Japanese veteran . . . while the legendary Alfonso Dantes has held titles all over Mexico.
Tom: "Well, Gori, Gene and I sure and good at embarrassing you, and we are going to do it again. You have a special rooting interest when it comes to the youngster, Javier Llanes, dont you?
Gori: "You got me again, Tom . . . . yes, I will make an admission: Javier's father happens to be my brother in law ENRIQUE LLANES . .. and that makes Javier my nephew, so yes, I do have a special rooting interest in this match, however, let that take nothing away from the fact that Los Villanos are great champions!!!
Gene: "Well, gentlemen, let me tell you something . . . .if Javier has ONE DROP of Guererro blood in his body, he has the potential of being a great champion in this sport one day.
Gori: "Thank you for that fine and humbling compliment, Gene.
With that, Lllanes pins Pobanz at 6:05 and Hamada, Lllanes and Dantes look ready for the World Six man tag team title match tomorrow night in Juarez!
Gene: "Gori, once again it is a pleasure, and once again good luck to your nephew and his tag team partners tomorrow night in Juarez.
Gori: "Thank you for that Gene, but more important, here is to a clean and injury free match tomorrow night that will entertain the fans.

Gene is at ringside with Adrian Street and his French maid, Miss Linda, for a pretaped non-audience interivew.
Gene: "Well, this man come to a Pan American Wrestling with many credentials, and certainly a colorful character, "Exotic" Adrian Street and his French maid, Miss Linda! I have to ask the first question, Mr. Street--- what is with all the makeup?
Adrian: "Mr. Goodison, of course you would ask such an unfortunate question, for it bespeaks your obvious lack of fashion sense. I should ask you, sire, why the most dreadful tie, and those unfortunate lapels on what you try and call a 'sports jacket'!
Gene: "Now hold on, Adrian Street, this suit comes from the finest tailor in El Paso!
Adrian: "'The best tailor in El Paso'---well, my good man, that certainly speaks volumes, but enough of this drivel, for I am a man of such high fashion, that of course neither you nor anyone else in the Pan-American Wrestling Council would understand the attire of the Exotic One. I was informed that I came out here to talk about wrestling, so why dont you ask me a question about wrestling, theres a good chap.
Gene: "Fair enough, lets move on, what are your goals here in the Pan-American Wrestling Council, Exotic Adrian Street?
Adrian: "Ah, finally a question that will be a pleasure to answer, you are showing promise as a tellee broadcaster, my good man! Back in merry old England, there is one championship and one championship only that everyone of culture and distinction talks about and looks up to as number one.
"Now, you might think that is the latest test in the World Cup of Cricket . . . or forsake, maybe excelling at the gentlemanly sport of polo. But you would be wrong, it is the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship that is on everyones tongues, and from what I understand, making it to the top of the mountain here in the Pan-American Wrestling Council is the way to get it!
"And allow me to make one thing clear, my good Mr. Goodison----I INTEND TO GET IT! Now, whether its taking the jacket off this Blue Demon chap . . . or outwrestling this rather nasty 'Bad Boy' Jody Arnold fellow . . .there is nothing that I will allow to get in the way of my ultimate goal---- to defeat Jerry Brisco, and become NWA WORLD JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!
Gene: "All right, well Adrian Street thank you for your time, and fashion advice, and may I aslo take the time to thank you for having me over yesterday to your mountainside mansion just outside El Paso for tea and krimpets . . .
Adrian: "KRUMPETS.
Gene: "YES, krumpets, of course, my compliments to Miss Linda for her effort in preparations of such, thank you sir, more Championship Wrestling when we return!
