12/1//82 Don Coss and Dutch Savage are in the Crow’s Nest.
Coss, “Welcome to the ‘House of Action’! Dutch, what a night we had last week. Jimmy Snuka came so close to winning the Northwest Title, but Rip Oliver is still the Champion.”
Savage, “We may not like Oliver and Rose, but you have to give them credit. They know how to hold on to titles.”
Coss, “We will speak with Jimmy Snuka later in the program. We will also speak with the Army and their newest member, the Assassin, will meet Matt Borne in our main event.”
Savage, “I have heard of the Assassin, but I haven’t seen him. You know, if he’s with Rose, he’s good.”
Coss, “That is true. Let’s go to the ring for our opening match.”
Match #1
Rocky Della Serra def. Caveman Broda, w/Victory Roll Jimmy Snuka is in the Crow’s Nest.
Coss, “With us is the ‘Superfly’. Jimmy, you came very close. You have to get a rematch with Oliver.”
Snuka, “Bruddah, Oliver was this close to losing, this close. Next time, he won’t be so lucky.”
Coss, “Jimmy, you have to keep an eye on Rose as well.”
Snuka, “I can do that. I came here to be Champion, and I’m not stopping until I get it. If Rose gets involved, I’ll take care of him too!”
Coss, “The ‘Superfly’ is ready for Oliver, there must be a rematch.”
Match #2
Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka def. Terry Adonis, w/Fijian Full Nelson The Army is in the Crow’s Nest.
Coss, “Welcome to ‘Playboy’ Rose the Army, with its new member.”
Rose, “That’s right, the Assassin is in the Army! Look at this man, just look at him! He’s like Wiskoski, Oliver and myself, a winner! I am going to control the Northwest for a long time, everyone else will just have to deal with it!”
Coss, “Well, the Assassin is very impressive looking. I’m sure he is a fine wrestler. Now let’s talk about next week. Once again, the Army will be in the main event. This time it’s going to be Ed Wiskoski. He’s going to meet Dean Ho.”
Wiskoski, “That Hawaiian pineapple picker has no chance against me, the most intelligent wrestler in the sport. I’ll finish him in record time.”
Coss, “That will be a great match, be the fans would like to see two others, Crusher Stasiak and Billy Jack challenging for the tag titles and Jimmy Snuka getting a rematch for the Northwest Title.”
Rose, “Yea, well Savage would like to be as handsome as me, but that’s not happening either.”
Savage, “Rose, you’ve got a big mouth. I’ve kept quiet because I’ve been working on something. I’m not quite finished, but next week I will be. You show up next week, and I’ve got a big announcement.”
Rose, “What are you talking about? You don’t know anything!”
Savage, “Maybe so, maybe so. You just show up next week.”
Coss, “Very interesting, Dutch, very interesting, Buddy Rose and Ed Wiskoski will be in our next match.”
Match #3
Non-Title Match
“Playboy” Buddy Rose and Ed Wiskoski def. Joe Lightfoot and Billy White Cloud, Rose w/Billy Robinson backbreaker vs. White Cloud Matt Borne is in the Crow’s Nest.
Coss, “Matt, you meet the Assassin in a while. He’s new to the area, but his reputation is that he is very dangerous. This will be a challenge.”
Borne, “I know that. If he’s with Rose, he has to be good and you know he’ll cheat. I’m ready and I want to pay Rose and his goons back for the things they have done.”
Coss, “Tonight’s main event will be fantastic.”
Match #4
Dean Ho def. Pat McGinnis, w/Abdominal Stretch Coss, “Our main event is next.
Main Event, Two out of Three Falls
The Assassin w/”Playboy” Rose vs. Matt Borne First Fall-Both men start quickly. Borne looks very good, but the masked man matches him move for move. Rose shouts instructions to the Assassin and also takes every chance to distract Borne. The Assassin sets up the Piledriver to win the first fall.’
Winner-The Assassin Dean Ho is in the Crow’s Nest.
Coss, “Welcome Dean Ho. First of all, congratulations on your win tonight, and your impressive victories since returning to the area.”
Ho, “Thank you Don. It is good to be back in the Northwest.”
Coss, “Well you step up in competition next week when you take on Ed Wiskoski. He’s good and you know that Rose will be at ringside.”
Ho, “I came here to wrestle the best and win titles. Wiskoski, Rose and the rest of the Army are on top right now. I want to be on top, so I need to beat them. It will be a challenge, I know that, but I’m confident in my abilities.”
Coss, “Dean Ho is a top talent in this sport, this will be another great main event.”
Second Fall-Borne has his back against the wall and he wrestles like it. He takes the fight to the Assassin. Rose is desperate. Borne catches the Assassin in the stump puller and the masked man gives it up.
Winner-Matt Borne
Coss and Savage are in the Crow’s Nest.
Coss, “Two great falls and one more to go. Matt Borne has held his own, and Rose is desperate and you know that will cause him to pull out all stops. Now let’s talk about the coming weeks in the Northwest. We told that you Harley Race is coming and he’ll be here next week. Race is one of the top names in the sport, and if he’s coming to area, you know he has a plan in mind. Next week we’ll find out what that plan is. Now on to my partner, Dutch, you say you have big news for next week, any hints?”
Savage, “Don, you, and Don Owen are my best friends, but I’m not tipping my hands. I told Don I was working on something and that old fox tried to get the news out of me, and even he couldn’t. I will have everything confirmed by next week and I’ll tell everyone at the same time, trust me.”
Coss, “I trust you, but you’re a good poker player and I just like to get the scoop, once.”
Savage, “next week, Don, next week.”
Coss, “O.K., I’ll wait.”
Third Fall-Both men slug it out from the opening bell. Things look good for Borne until Rose slips something to the Assassin and he places it under his mask. He headbutts Borne and Matt goes down like a ton of brick. Referee Sandy Barr doesn’t see anything and counts the fall. The Army is victorious.
Winner-The Assassin
