Gene Goodison is in the ring with Gori Guererro and the World Six-man Tag team Champions, LOS VILLANOS AND THEIR FATHER---- REY MENDOZA!!!!
Gene introduces them all to great applause.
Gene: "Gori Guererro, one of the great traditions of Mexican wrestling is that of the wrestling family. We have a great example of that here with Los Villanos, and of course you are very proud of your sons. But Gori, there is another "family" on the scene, and that is the so called Rogers . . . . "Brothers". What is your take on the Rogers Brothers?
Gori: "Well, first lets take nothing away from them. I've watched them just like everyone else, and they are technically sound in the ring. But if those three are brothers, than the earth is flat, I'm Burt Reynolds, and 3+3=2. I'm not sure what their game is, Gene, but unless these Rogers Boys can produce birth certificates, I say they are making fun of one of the most hallowed traditions of professional wrestling, and they'd better be able to handle their business in the ring, because they are making some enemies along the way.
Gene: "Gori, could you ask Mr. Mendoza his thoughts on the big match for the Six-man titles Sunday night at Plaza del Toro when his sons, Los Villanos, take on the Rogers Brothers.
Gori: "Certainly. ¿Sr. Mendoza, cómo usted siente a sus hijos, Los Villanos, precio de la voluntad contra los hermanos de Rogers del ther en Plaza del Toro?
Rey: "Sr. Guererro, dicen que la sangre es más gruesa que el agua. ¡Bien, digo los asimientos de la historia de los hermanos de Rogers ninguna agua!
Gori: "Mister Mendoza says that if blood is thciker than water, than the Rogers Brothers claims do not hold any water!
Rey: "Cuando usted equipo con sus hermanos VERDADEROS, usted puede leer cada otros importa. Usted sabe lo que el otro va a hacer después. ¡Eso es lo que traemos a la tabla, y porqué los hermanos de Rogers pueden nunca derrotar a mis hijos para el equipo de la etiqueta de seis hombres titulan!
Gori: "When you team with your TRUE brothers, you can read each others minds. You know what the other one is going to do next. That is what we bring to the table, and why I feel the Rogers Brothers can never defeat my sons for the six man tag team titles!
Gene: "All right, well, I think that says it all, gentlemen, thank you, the war of words between the Villanos and the Rogers Brothers comes to an end this Sunday night at Plaza del Toro, the World Six Man tag team titles are on the line, more after this!

RIP ROGERS w/Sonny and Golden Rogers V VILLANO III w/Villanos I & II All types of chicanery in this one, with the other Rogers Boys trying to interfere, Los Villanos have had enough, and a wild brawl breaks out at ringside, the distraction allows Rip Rogers to schoolboy III for the win at 6:05 as referee and Gori Guererro must come out again, to restore order!
Gori angrily storms over to the house mike: "I want everyone in the back to listen, right now! Any wrestler that comes down to ringside, and is not part of a match, and interferes, WILL BE FINED! No more wrestlers or managers at ringside for the rest of the night!
GORI THROWS DOWN THE MIKE!
Tom: "Gori Guererro laying down the law here in El Paso!

Gene: "Also note: no Jody Arnold, no Crusher Cortez here to watch Flama Rojas back, by the order of Gori Guererro!
Dixon doesn't quite know what to make of Roja, who approaches him with his dukes up, and simply dodges out of the way as Roja lunges at him with powerful lefts and rights, gets behind him, and belly to back suplex by Dory Dixon. Dixon very impressive with his mat skills, and has Roja trapped in several painful holds, but Roja slowly battles his way out of them both men are on their feet, and Roja insists on fisticuffs, Dixon obliges!

Tom: "I have to give credit where credit is due, Flama Roja is one tough son of a gun!
Gene: "Roja claims to be a former French Legionnaire, Tom, and well . . he seems to be able to back up a lot of what he says when it comes to hand to hand combat, thats why he is the Brass Knux champion!
Dixon takes advantage and shoots in on Roja, taking him down to the mat, again, and then picking him up for suplexes, trying to knock him out! But Roja keeps getting back up, and Dixon charges at Roja WITH A CROSS BODY BLOCK:
.

Tom: "Take nothing away from Dory Dixon, Gene, he gave Flama Roja ALL he could handle!!!
Gene: "I'll be honest with you, Tom, I liked Dory's wrestling strategy, but once Dory took that shot to the head with the ringpost, he threw that out the window, and I think he played right into Roja's hands, but Dory Dixon has nothing to be ashamed of here today on Championship Wrestling!
Meanwhile Roja takes his belt, and goes to leave . . . .

Gene is joined by JOSE LOTHARIO, ROCKY ROMERO, AND BLUE DEMON at ringside for a final word!!!!
Jose: "Gene Goodison, my friend, there is a curse, a scourge, in El Paso and Juarez, and that curse is this new alliance, mob, mafia, bordertown mafia, WHATEVER you want to call it, between Jody Arnold, Crusher Cortez and Flama Roja!!! Over the past few weeks they have taken it upon themselves to interfere in matches for this mans blue jacket . . . they have tried to beat up their opponents after the bell rings . . . and they even have the gall to try and extort money from Adrian Street!
"Well, I say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Gori Guererro is a good man, but he is only one man, he can only do so much to try and maintain law and order! It is time to fight fire with fire! This Sunday at Plaza del Toro, we are going to ask the great fans of Juarez and El Paso to come out and support us in our three matches with this criminal element, together lets show these three hoodlums they are not welcome in our wrestling promotion!
Blue Demon: "Jody Arnold usted me ha costado la cosa que es la más preciosa a mí --- la chaqueta azul!!! ¡Mi carne de vaca no es más larga con la calle de Adrian, él está con USTED! Este domingo en Plaza del Toros, usted y el resto de su elemento criminal pagará cuando usted hace frente a la cólera de: ¡CEL DEMONIO AZUL!!!!
Gene: "Wrestling fans, my grasp of the beautiful Spanish language is not as good as I'd like it to be, but I heard the words 'Jody' and 'Arnold' in there, and by the tone of THAT mans voice, I think The Bad Boy of Professional Wrestling is in for a very, very long night at Plaza del Toros! Tom?
Tom: "Wrestling fans, we only have 45 seconds . . . remember, seats are still available at Plaza del Toros, Sunday September 16 at 7:00! Jerry Brisco and Adrian Street for the World title . . . Blue Demon versus Jody Arnold . . .Jose Lothario and Flama Roja for the Brass Knux title . . Romero versus Cortez, the World Six Man tag team titles, the Gulf Coast title on the line, plus dont forget the Pharaoh versus Ed George, no DQ, all that, 10 matches in all, for one great low ticket price!!!
