Announcers-Lord James Blears and Ed Francis
Airs-8/11/77 Lord James Blears opens the show with Ripper Collins.
Blears, “Tally-ho and aloha everyone. I’m here with the Hawaii Champion Ripper Collins. Mr. Collins, you must face Don Leo Jonathan at Blaisdell.”
Collins, “Why in the world should I, the ‘King of Hawaii’, have to wrestle that genetic freak. The ‘Mormon Giant’, ‘Moron Giant’ is more like it! I should not have to sully myself with people like Jonathan.”
Blears, “You can complain all you want, but on Sunday night, August 26, you will wrestle Jonathan and the Title will be on the line.”
Collins, “It will be and Jonathan, there is not way you are going to beat me. I like being the Champ and I’m keeling this belt!”
Match #1
Non-Title Match
Ripper Collins (Hawaii Champion) def. Takashi Onoume (6:59) w/elbow drop Blears is with Waldo Von Erich.
Blears, “Mr. Von Erich, you have looked very good here in the Islands. The fans don’t seem to appreciate your style, but you cannot argue with your results.”
Von Erich, “What do I care if savages from these god forsaken islands boo me? I am a German warrior! I will destroy anything and anybody in my path! My record speaks for itself and when I step in the ring, I take no prisoners. I will eliminate this American today and I will advance to more competition, but Waldo Von Erich will prove his superiority!”
Match #2
Waldo Von Erich def. Robert Toronto (4:31) w/kneedrop Ed Francis is with Sam Steamboat.
Francis, “Sam, I know you’re happy to be back in Hawaii.”
Steamboat, “Thank you Ed and I am happy to be ‘home’. I’ve wrestled all over the world, but you know, it’s great to be back in ‘paradise’. I love wrestling for the Hawaiian fans.”
Francis, “I know you do. You have signed a big contract for the next Blaisdell show. You meet the Destroyer.”
Steamboat, “Yes, I will meet the Destroyer at Blasidell. People all over the world will tell you, he is the greatest masked wrestler of all time. He probably is. I didn’t come home to retire, I came to wrestle. I will beat the Destroyer, it won’t be easy, but I won’t let my fans down.”
Francis, “Sam Steamboat vs. the Destroyer, August 26 at Blaisdell.”
Match #3
Sam Steamboat def. “Handsome” John Anson (6:52) w/flying bodypress Blears is with the Von Steiger Brothers.
Blears, “Gentlemen, you came very close to winning the tag belts. Now you get a rematch with the Samoans.”
Kurt V.S., “Very close? A corrupt Hawaiian referee gave the decision to those two savages. My brother and I deserved to be the Champions, no matter, we will take care of this.”
Blears, “The card at Blaisdell gets better and better, the Samoans defend the Hawaii Tag Team Titles against the Von Steiger Brothers.”
Karl V.S., “You heard my brother, Samoans, you will surrender the belts to us. You have no chance!”
Match #4
The Von Steiger Brothers def. Superfly Tui and Bill Francis (7:31) Kurt V.S. w/claw vs. Tui Francis is with Don Leo Jonathan.
Francis, “Don, you got what you wanted, a shot at Collins.”
Jonathan, “Yes I did Ed and I want to thank you and the Championship Committee for this opportunity. I’m not going to cry about how Collins cheated me last time. This is professional wrestling and you have to expect that. Collins, here’s what you need to expect when we meet, the ‘Mormon Giant’ is ready. I’ve been around a long time, I’ve wrestled the best and I’ve beaten the best. I respect your ability. I don’t respect your attitude and your lifestyle, but you will be no pushover. I love the Hawaiian Islands. These fans have been great to me and I want to reward them. The best gift I can give them is taking the title off that goof, Collins! On August 26, I will be the Hawaii Champion!”
Francis, “There you have it fans, August 26, at the Blasidell Arena, get you tickets now! For Lord James Blears, aloha!”
