Solie opens the show.
 
Solie, “Welcome fans, we have another great show for you today. We have a fantastic feature match. Eddie Graham will meet the Spoiler. We will hear from both Austin Idol and the Spoiler concerning their title match from Tampa and we will hear from the Assassin and the Great Bolo concerning ‘Mr. Official I’. Let’s go to the ring for our first match.
 
Match #1
Alexis Smirnoff def. Pat McGinnis (6:49) w/Russian neckbreaker
 
Solie is with the Southern Champion Austin Idol. We see highlights of the Idol-Spoiler one hour draw from Tampa.
 

 
Solie, “Mr. Idol, you and the Spoiler wrestled for 60 minutes, but nothing was settled. Now a rematch has been signed for October 16, back at the Armory in Tampa.”
 
Idol, “Mr. Solie, that masked man is good. He’s been around for a long time and he’s held titles and he wants this one, Spoiler, if you want this, come get it! It won’t be easy, but I’m ready to sweat and bleed! I’m ready to give my all! You will only get this belt over my dead body! Humperdink, if you stick your nose into the match, I’ll tear it off! I’m ready for Tampa!”
 
Solie, Strong words from the Champion. The last match was tremendous and I know the rematch will surpass it.”
 
Match #2
Mike Graham and Steve Keirn def. Jack Armstrong and Beauregard (6:49) Graham w/figure four vs. Beauregard
 
Solie is with Eddie Graham.
 

 
Solie, “Mr. Graham, you and the Spoiler meet in today’s feature match. You are both battle-tested veterans and the fans are in for a treat.”
 
Graham, “Gordon, you’re right. I’ve been around a long time and I’ve beaten the best and the Spoiler is one of the best. Spoiler may be looking ahead to meeting Austin Idol, but he better not over look this boy from the mountains of West Virginia.”
 
Solie, “Later in the program, Eddie Graham vs. the Spoiler. We will hear from the Spoiler and Sir Oliver Humperdink later in the program.”
 
Match #3
Kevin Sullivan def. Buck Forrester (5:14) w/victory roll
 
Solie is with Sir Oliver Humperdink and the Spoiler.
 

 
Solie, “Mr. Spoiler, Mr. Humperdink, in a few days, you challenge Austin Idol for the Southern Title, but today you meet Eddie Graham Do you think this is wise?”
 
Humperdink, “Wise? You ask us that! This man is the best masked wrestler in the world and he will take the Southern Title from Austin Idol. With that said, who could pass up a chance to destroy a Florida legend. Old Man Graham is a washed-up has been. He struts around like he’s still on top, well today he goes down.”
 
Spoiler, “Idol, I will beat you and Graham, you signed a contract for your own funeral. I will show no mercy.”
 
Match #4
Non-Title Match
Jerry Brisco (World Jr. Heavyweight Champion) def. Chin Lee (5:16) w/figure four
 
Solie is seated at the desk with the Assassin and the Great Bolo.
 
Solie, “We are here with the Great Bolo and the Assassin. We are going to talk about Mr. Official I appearance on last week’s show and the match from Tampa where the Assassin was disqualified because of the actions of the Great Bolo.”
 
Bolo, “Stop right there Solie. Dusty Rhodes, not ‘Official I’, was here last week. He wouldn’t talk, because if he did, you’d hear that uneducated Texan lisp and he’d stumble over every word. Eddie Graham, you and the rest of the Championship Wrestling Committee need to wake up. Dusty Rhodes lost a loser leaves town match and he thinks he can get away with fooling all the rednecks in this cesspool. I interjected myself in the match because of the biased officiating of Dusty Rhodes.”
 
Assassin, “Listen to me Rhodes, and that’s who you are. You cost me the TV Title and now that other redneck loser has it. Then you cost me the rematch. Well here’s what’s going to happen. I’m taking the title back from Armstrong and then I’m pulling that mask off and showing everyone that ugly face. Dusty Rhodes, I will end your career.”
 
Match #5
Spoiler w/Sir Oliver Humperdink def. Eddie Graham (7:28) w/claw
Spolier refuses to release the claw. Graham is lacerated. Several wrestlers from the back pull the Spoiler off Graham.  Mike Graham and Steve Keirn go to Eddie. He is unconscious. The Program ends with medical personnel work on Eddie.
