Coss, “Welcome to the 'House of Action”! We have a great show for you tonight and we will talk about our big main event next week. We have a fantastic main event tonight.

The Northwest Title will be on the line. Rip Oliver will defend against this man.”
 
Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka joins Coss and Savage in the Crow's Nest.
 
Coss, “Jimmy, you get your big chance next week. You meet Rip Oliver and the title will be on the line. Everyone knows you can beat him, but Buddy Rose will be there and we know he always has a plan.”
 
Sunka, “Bruddah, I hope Rose sticks his nose into things. I'll beat Oliver and then I'll take care of Rose. You can't stop me now!”
 
Coss, “The fans hope you're right, but we've all seen Rose in action before.”
 
Snuka, “It doesn't matter, I want the title, and I'll win the title!”
 
Coss, “The 'Superfly' is ready. Now let's see him in action agasint a big man returning to the Northwest after a few years absence, Tiny Anderson.”

Coss, “With us is one of the best young wrestlers in the sport, Matt Borne. Matt, things continue to go well for you. You've impressed the fans and the other wrestlers as well.”
 
Borne, “I'm learning every day and I'm getting better. I've wrestled the Assassin, Ed Wiskoski and all the best guys. I'll get in the ring with anyone, and I think I can beat anyone.”
 
Coss, “Well we've seen that. The experts predict that great things in your future. Your dad must be proud of you.”
 
Borne, “My dad's helped me a lot, but once the match starts, I have to do it myself, and that's what I'm doing.”
 
Coss, “Matt Borne will be in action when we return.”

Miller, “Ohhh! Bloody Don Coss! We're back and it's just like before, everyone is afraid of us! We'll beat them all! Tell 'em Luke!”
 
Williams, “Stasiak, Billy Jack, you have the titles, but we're going to take them back, ohhh! Get in the ring with us!”

Coss, “With us are Buddy Rose and the Army. Mr. Rose, you and Ed Wiskoski lost the tag titles, and next week, Rip Oliver could lose the Northwest Title. The Army is under attack.”
 
Rose, “You and Savage would love that, wouldn't you? Everyone wants to see the 'Playboy' fail. They want to see Rip Oliver fail, well sorry about your luck. Wiskoski and I will take back the tag titles. We have rematches scheduled and it will only take one. Oliver is not losing to Snuka. He'll tell you about it.”
 
Oliver, “Snuka, you just show up next week! I heard you out here running your mouth about beating me! I'm proud to be the Champion and I'm not letting a pineapple picker, like you, take this title, it ain't happening!”
 
Coss, “It looks like Mr. Oliver is ready. Now let's see Mr. Rose and Mr. Wiskoski in action.”

Coss, “Dean Ho vs. Chris Colt is next.”
 
Main Event, Two out of Three Falls
Dean Ho vs. Christopher Colt
 
First Fall-Colt takes the fight to Ho. Dean is in early trouble. He fights back, but Colt traps him close to the ropes and covers him with his feet on the ropes. Referee Sandy Barr does not see this and counts the fall.
Winner-Christopher Colt
 
Billy Jack and Stan Stasiak join Coss and Savage in the Crow's Nest.
 
Coss, “With us are the Northwest Tag Team Champions. Billy, Stan, you've been the Champions for a few days now, you've had a few title defenses. How does it feel?”
 
BJ, “It sounds great to be called the Champions. Stan and I have been having a lot of fun. The competition is very good and we have to be on our toes, but we plan on keeping the titles for a long time.”
 
Coss, “You heard Buddy Rose out here. He and Wiskoski are planing to retake the titles. What about them?”
 
Stasiak, “You'd have to be crazy to not take Rose seriously. He and Wiskoski are very good, and they know all the tricks. Billy and I are ready for them. We have matches with them this week, and we expect to keep the titles.”
 
Coss, “There will be tag team title matches in Salem, Eugene, Sedro-Wolley, and other places this week.”
 
Second Fall-Ho has his back to the wall and he comes out firing. The second fall belongs to the “Happy Hawaiian” he works over Colt and traps him in the Abdominal Stretch for the win.
Winner-Dean Ho
 
Don Owen joins Coss and Savage.
 
Coss, “Promoter Don Owen has joined us. Don, I know you have some announcements to make.”
 
Owen, “Yes, I do. Things have been going really well for us and I expect 1983 to be even better. Everyone is happy Rose and Wiskoski lost the tag titles, and they all want to see Jimmy Snuka win next week, but even if that happens, you know Rose won't shut up.”
 
Savage, “Don, I want to point out again, that you give the fans great TV matches. All the other promotions show a lot of mismatches, but we show the fans main events on TV every week.”
 
Owen, “I want our fans to be happy. That's why I'm making next week a 'Kid's Night', all kids, 14 and younger will get in free with a paying adult.”
 
Coss, “A 'Kid's Night' and Oliver vs. Snuka, you don't want to miss this one. Get out to Sandy Barr's Flea Market, tomorrow, and get your tickets, or call us on Monday to make reservations. Like I said, you don't want to miss next week's show. Now let's get back to the ring for fall number three.”
 
Third Fall-Colt pulls out all the dirty tricks. He punches, kicks and chokes, but Ho is too much. He uses and body slam and lateral press for the win.
Winner-Dean Ho
 
Coss, “We only have a minute, or two, but let me remind you again, the Northwest Title is on the line next week, Rip Oliver defends against Jimmy 'Superfly' Snuka. Don't miss it.”

Some simple pleasures are the best. Tom, you have made PNW top notch, as you do everywhere you go.
 
Snuka and Oliver will sure make the shut-ins happy. Colt just seems to be rolling. Stasiak and BJ need to worry about The Kiwis. Interested to see what Borne is thinking for some reason.
