Airs-10/27/77 Gordon Solie opens the show.
Solie, “Welcome fans. We have a lot to talk about today. We have a fantastic feature match between Nelson Royal and Kevin Sullivan. We will see Eddie Graham in action and we will hear from Bob Armstrong, concerning the challenge laid down by the Great Bolo and the Assassin. Let's go to the ring and see Zeigfried Stanke in action.”
Match #1
Zeigfried Stanke w/Steve Rackman def. Coloso Colosetti (4:46) w/German Claw Solie is seated with Bob Armstrong.
Solie, “Mr. Armstrong, you have heard the challenge from the two masked me. They want the Assassin to challenge for your TV Title in Miami Beach, with Mr. Official I as the official. This is very strange indeed.”
Armstrong, “Gordon, I don't trust either of those masked men. They are dishonest and they'll cheat any way they can. I do trust this Mr. Official I, whoever he is. He's an honest man and a great referee. I've never backed down from anyone and I'm not starting now.”
Solie, That is very true, Bob, but these two must have a plan in mind.”
Armstrong, “So do I. I'm gonna jack the Assassin's jaw and keep my TV Title. All the masked guy has to do is count 1...2...3.”
Solie, “There you have it. The Assassin vs. Bob Armstrong, with Mr. Official I as the referee, tomorrow night at the Jai Alai Fronton in Miami Beach. Now Bob is going to the ring and take on a great wrestler in Buddy Wolff.”
Match #2
Florida TV Championship
Bob Armstrong (Champion) def. Buddy Wolff (7:21) w/Georgia jaw breaker Solie is joined by Mike Graham and Steve Keirn.
Solie, “Gentlemen, you have come close to taking the tag titles from the Manchurians and you get another shot tomorrow night in Miami Beach.”
Graham, “It's been war. Those two, and throw Humperdink in as well, have done everything they can to keep the belts. Steve and I have gone toe to toe with them and we get closer and closer. We are going to wear them down. The titles will come our way.”
Keirn, “Mike's right. You have to give them credit, they are tough. Humperdink is sneaky and you throw that together and you have a very good tag team. We have been close and I think that tomorrow night just might be our night. You may well see those title belts around our waits at the Convention Center.”
Solie, Sunday night, in Miami Beach, Graham and Keirn vs. the Manchurians, what a match it will be.”
Match #3
Mike Graham and Steve Keirn def. The Masked Demons (6:39) Graham w/figure four vs. Demon #1 Eddie Graham is with Solie.
Solie, “Mr. Graham, the Spoiler is the new Southern Champion and you have a date with him on Halloween night. You meet him at the Sports Complex in Orlando. It will now be a Southern Title match.”
Graham, “I don't want to take anything away from the Spoiler. He busted me open and put me in the hospital. He's one of the best, but this old boy from the hills of West Virginia has one last ride left in him. Spoiler, you get ready. Halloween night is going to be no treat for you!”
Solie, “Eddie Graham meets the Spoiler in Orlando on October 31. Now let's see him in the ring.”

Don't miss the chance to see one of the greats of professional wrestling. Coming up next is our feature match, Kevin Sullivan takes on Nelson Royal.”
