Gene is at ringside with the NWA World heavyweight Champion, Jerry Brisco and PACW Commissioner Gori Guererro!
Gene: "Ladies and gentlemen, two men that don't need introductions, the NWA World Junior heavyweight Champion JERRY BRISCO, and El Paso legend GORI GUERERRO!
Gene: "Gori, it wasn't easy getting him here, but its great to have the NWA World champion here on Championship Wrestling. Jerry welcome to El Paso!
Jerry: "Well, I nhave no problem coming here---- it's haggling with Gori here for first class plane tickets that makes things difficult!
All three men yuk it up!
Gori: "Ah, just like a world champion, always with caviar tastes, Gene Goodison! Well let me tell you something, there is only one reason and one reason only why Jerry Brisco is here today, and that is even Jerry Brisco knows the top challengers, the top contenders for the NWA World Junior Heavyweight championship belt you see around his waist are right here in the Pan-American Wrestling Council. West Texas and Northern Mexico have produced some of the greatest Junior heavyweight wrestlers ever, and we are so proud to have a champion of his caliber here on Championship Wrestling today, even if it DID cost me an extra $100 to upgrade him from coach!
Gene: "All right, well lets go to the man of the hour, previously Jerry you defeated Cien Caras, and up and coming youngster, but tell me your impressions of the man you are as of right now scheduled to face in just one week in front of a capacity crowd at Plaza del Toro, Adrian Street.
Jerry: "Well, all joking aside, first let me echo what the great Mr. Guerrero said. When it comes to this title belt, there is no more competition than right here in the Pan American Wrestling Council. I mean you have fellows like the Blue Demon, Jody Arnold, Rayo de Jalisco, Dory Dixon all running around, all competing for that blue jacket, and you never know WHO you are gonna face when you sign for a title defense, whether it be El Paso, Juarez, Chihuahua City, or even Fort Stockton, Texas, its top notch competition, all the way, and this September 16 will be the toughest test of my career, let me tell you something!
Gene: "Jerry next week Blue Demon will wrestle Adrian Street. The winner gets the blue jacket and the title shot against you September 16. Who are YOU rooting for in that match?
Jerry: "Aw shucks, well, talk about putting me on the spot. You are asking me to choose between one of the biggest stars in Mexican wrestling history, and one of the worlds top ranked British wrestlers. What if I just say I hope for a double disqualification, and Mister Guererro here takes the jacket from BOTH of 'em, and I have an easy night September 16?
Gori: "Fat chance, Jerry! You would have better luck having me pay to have you flown in to El Paso on the Concorde!
All three men share a hardy guffaw.
Gene: "All right, well, the life of a traveling champion is never easy,is it, but if one man is up to the task, its this man, Jerry Brisco, he is your globetrotting NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion, MORE after this!

Gene conducts a pretaped interview with the ROGERS BROTHERS: SONNY, RIP AND GOLDEN!
Gene: "September 16, still good seats left at Plaza del Toro as Los Villanos face these men, The Rogers Brothers for the World Six man Tag Team Championship!
Rip: "Gene Goodison, do we look like champions or WHAT? You have my youth, my skills and my enthusiasm and handsome features, combined with older brothers Sonny's technical skills, and then there's the black sheep of the family, Golden, Golden will break any rule to win, he just doesn't care! Pssst . . Gene . . .Golden doesn't speak no English, so don't tell him he's not invited to Thanksgiving again this year . . .
Gene: "How can you have a brother who doesnt speak Engl . . . . .
Golden: " ¡Hermanos de Villano! ¡Yo y mi rasgón y Sonny de los hermanos son listos hacer los nuevos campeones! ¡Paso a un lado y arco abajo a sus amos nuevos! ¡De septiembre el 16 en Plaza del Toro que el NUEVOS dominan el equipo de la etiqueta del hombre del hermano seises sea los hermanos de Rogers!
Sonny: "Gene Goodison, if I could just be serious for one moment. Can't you see that The Rogers Brothers are the new First Family of Wrestling? WE are who all the fans should be looking to for leadership, I mean if you were to compare the genetic code of Villanos father, Ray Mendoza to that of our father, the only man to old both the NWA and WWWF world titles, there's simply no comparison, we are the beneficiaries of a superior seed and a better bloodline. Villanos, we have proven that and have defeated everyone that has been placed in front of us, and on September 16, at Plaza del Toros there is no doubt in MY mind, blood is thicker than water, and we will defeat you and become the new World Six Man Tag Team Champions!
Gene: "Lets go to the ring!
CRUSHER CORTEZ V JOSE LOTHARIO Tom: "Fans I should point out that the original opponent for Cortez in this match was Jose Alex Perez, but Jose is still in the hospital recovering from that horrific beating at the hands of Flama Roja and Supersock Jose Lothario has agreed to take his place in this match!
Cortez uses an arsenal of dirty tricks, but in the end, Supersock KOs his foe for the big win at 9:06!
WAIT! ITS JODY ARNOLD! The Bad Boy of Professional Wrestling sees this as a prime opportunity to get in some cheap shots! Jose fights back valiantly, AND HERE COMES RICKY ROMERO TO HELP HIS FRIEND! It appears that Romero and Lothario have the heels well in hand when . . what is this?
.
.
.
.
.
.
FLAMA ROJA??? FLAMA ROJA CHARGES DOWN THE RING, AND ITS 3 ON 2! FLAMA ROJA HAS SEEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE OUT JOSE LOTHARIO BEFORE THEIR BRASS KNUX TITLE MATCH ON SEPTEMBER 16, AND HAS JOINED FORCES WITH JODY ARNOLD AND CRUSHER CORTEZ!
WAIT! COMING DOWN THE AISLE:
BLUE DEMON! THE BLUE DEMON COMES IN TO MAKE THE SAVE, BUT ROJA, CORTEZ AND ARNOLD HAVE BEATEN UP SUPERSOCK AND ROMERO, AND WHILE DEMON FIGHTS WITH HONOR AND COURAGE, the heels quickly outnumber and put the boots to Demon . . . .
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
AND RIP OFF HIS MASK!!!!! BLUE DEMON LOSES HIS MASK, FORTUNATELY LOTHARIO AND ROMERO COVER UP BLUE DEMON WITH THEIR BODIES SO NO ONE SEES HIM, BUT THIS ALLOWS THE HEELS TO PUT THE BOOTS TO THEM AS THEY SACRIFICE TO PROTECT BLUE DEMON AND HIS IDENTITY!!! Finally, Gori Guererro comes out with a towel, and orders the heels out of the ring! The heels get some more cheap shots, then leave, and Gori covers Blue Demons head with a towel as BBPW, Cortez and Roja, leave the ring, CELEBRATING THEIR NEW ALLIANCE!!!!

Gene Goodison is joined at ringside by ADRIAN STREET AND MISS LINDA! Street is wearing the blue jacket.
Gene: "Ladies and gentlemen, just nothing but bad news for the Blue Demon, you just saw Demon lose his mask . . . and Adrian Street is in possession of his blue jacket! That means this man Adrian Street will face Jerry Brisco for the NWA World Junior heavyweight title next weekend at Plaza del Toro--- IF you can get past the Blue Demon a SECOND time, next week, right here on Championship Wrestling, Adrian Street!
Street: "You know something this is so bloody well ridiculous it makes me want to VOMIT! I beat, DEFEATED the Blue Demon, I have his bloody blue jacket, and I do not see why the Pan American Wrestling Council sees it fit for me to have to wrestle this dreaded Blue Demon a second time! Just let me keep the blue jacket, and lets get on with it September 16! I have absolutely no compulsion to wrestle this nasty little blue man a second time, Gene Goodison so I command you- DO SOMETHING!
Gene: "Look Mr. Street, I'm just an announcer . . . .

Street: "WHAT is the meaning of THIS!!!!! Mr. Arnold, if you and your fellow hoodlums feel compelled to engage in thuggery, let me inform you gentlemen that I am very well versed in the mysterious ancient arts of the Orient and pugilism!
Arnold: "Street, save your talk, because I want you to listen when I tell you the way its gonna be. Take a look at who you are dealing with. Look at these men. We could have you AND your little lady friend . . .TAKEN OUT------------- LIKE THAT!
"Adrian Street, several weeks ago you stuck your nose in my match with the Blue Demon. If it weren't for you, I would be wearing that blue jacket right now. The way me, Crusher . . . and out NEW friend, the Boss of All Bosses, Flama Roja see it . . . . . .we have EVERY right to come out here, and SNAP YOUR NECK.
"But see, Street you had to do what you had to do because you want to be NWA World Junior heavyweight Champion. I actually respect that. And you know what else? Your costing me a chance at the most important and biggest prize in wrestling has allowed me to refocus on new priorities here in El Paso. So here is the bottom line, Adrian Street.
"You want that NWA World Junior Heavyweight title. I did some research and know you come from a long line of nobles in England. Thats right, we know you are RICH. LOADED. That's how you can afford that French maid over there, and the big mansion up in the mountains.
"Here's the offer-------We can make sure you get that title. You need us Street.
"Think carefully about what I am saying, AND what will happen is you say no. And just to show how serious we are, here is proof of what we are capable of:

The throne topples over after the slave girls run away and Pharaoh and Ed George roll onto the arena floor, and the Pharaoh sees an opportunity and takes a ladies purse, and takes the handles of the purse, and wraps it around George's neck, choking him!!!!! The referee pulls Pharaoh away, and orders him to the ring, but during the quarrel George undoes the purse, and GOES BACK AFTER PHARAOH., JUMPING HIM FROM BEHIND, AND POUNDS HIS HEAD UNTIL PHARAOH COLLAPSES!!!!

Tom: "GENE THIS IS MADNESS!!! THESE TWO HAVE BEEN FIGHTING FOR THREE MINUTES, AND THE MATCH HAS NOT EVEN STARTED YET!
A bloodied and dazed Ed George crawls into the ring, then dizzied, flails wildly as the Pharaoh tries to get into the ring! Pharaoh finally does, but Ed George keeps swinging--- AND INADVERTENTLY DECKS THE REFEREE!!! OH NO!!!! ED GEORGE IS GONNA BE DISQUALIFIED!!!!
As George and the referee argue--- THERE GOES PHARAOH AGAIN, INTO HIS TIGHTS, HE PULLS OUT A PLASTIC SPORK, AND JABS AT GEORGE CUT WITH IT! BUT ED GEORGE IS THE CAPTAIN OF THIS SHIP, FOLKS, AND WILL NOT BE DENIED, HE KICKS THE SPORK OF DOOM OUT OF PHARAOHS HANDS, AND ATTACKS HIM WITH IT, AND PHARAOH BAILS OUT OF THE RING, BUT ED GEORGE GIVES CHASE, AND THROWS PHARAOH INTO SOME RINGSIDE SEATS!!!!
