AWA WORLD JR HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP:
Roddy Piper vs Hiro Matsuda.
a fresh matchup. the two men size each other up. Matsuda tries to keep Piper on the mat but Piper likes to be stood up. they then start to fight. both men get tired of wrestling and just fight.  
they go on abot 10 more minutes when Piper lands the perfect neckbreaker. he then applies the sleeper on Matsuda. the referee raises Matsuda's arm..and it drops..1..2..then BAM!!!! upside the head!!! Masa Fuchi has just kicked Piper in the head. Matsuda hits the mat. Fuchi continues his asault on Piper. Matsuda starts to come around and begins to stand..Matsuda sees what is happening and watches. Fuchi continues the attack. Matsuda watches..he then drops to the mat and walks away leaving Piper to be beaten down.  
from the back come Miguel Perez and Gene Ligon to make the save...Fuchi leaves...and Piper is out.

--Good show
--I'm a Freebird mark and it's hard, but interesting, seeing them fighting
--Anderson has a tough challenge
--Piper has a huge target on his back

You're doing an incredible job with Billy Anderson and El Texano. With this show you've taken two workers that most people don't really think twice about and have turned them into one of the most interesting programs in NWA Classic. Bravo!
