“Playboy” Buddy Rose and the Army come to the Crow's Nest.
 
Coss, “The 'Playboy' and the Army.”
 
Rose, “Coss, Savage, you keep doubting Buddy Rose and I keep making you look foolish. We went into Tuesday night and everyone thought we couldn't win, well they were wrong. Never doubt the 'Playboy'.”
 
Coss, “Well you came through at the Portland Special. Let's talk about next week. Mr. Rose, you and Rip Oliver will be in the main event, You will take on Jimmy Snuka and Matt Borne. They will have revenge in mind.”
 
Oliver, “Snuka, you can 't beat me in a tag team match, or in a singles match. Give it up!”
 
Coss, “We talked about next week. Now let's talk about this week. We have a rematch from Tuesday. On our main event, the New Zealand Sheepherders take on Dean Ho and Rocky Della Serra. What a match! Now let's get things started.”

Coss, “With us is the man from Hawai'i, the 'Rock and Roller', Buck Zumhofe. Buck you got a nice win  at the Portland Sepcial and another one tonight. You have arrived with a bang.”
 
Zumhofe, “The 'Rock and Roller' is here! I love Portland, and I'm back! The competition is so good, and I'm ready for it! I want the best competition and this is the place.”
 
Coss, “Buck Zumhofe will be all over the area in the coming weeks. Don't miss him when he comes to your town.”
 
Match #2
Christopher Colt def. Terry Adonis, w/Elbow Drop
 
Billy Jack and Stan Stasiak are in the Crow's Nest.
 
Coss, “With us are the Northwest Tag Team Champions. Gentlemen, you had a great match on Tuesday, but Rose and his men came out on top.”
 
BJ, “We knew they were sneaky. They caught Matt when he wasn't ready and they got the win. You can't give them an inch.”
 
Stasiak, “Billy's right. Rose is a veteran and those thugs with him have been around too. Matt learned a lesson and he'll be a better wrestler for it.”
 
Coss, “Let's talk about this week. You two have a tough week ahead of you. You travel to Hawai'i. That will be a great trip, but you are going to take on some of the top wrestlers in the Islands. It won't be easy.”
 
Stasiak, “No it won't. Billy and I have had these titles for a while and we want to give the fans in Hawai'l a chance to see us in action.”
 
Coss, “I know the Champions will have success in Hawai'i and when they return, there will be several top teams waiting for them. Let's see the 'Crusher' and Billy in action.”

Coss, “With us is Matt Borne. Matt you were involved in the Eight Man Match on Tuesday. Rose and his men got the better of you.”
 
Borne, “They did and I let my team down. I got pinned and it was because I wanted to wrestle by the rules. I should have know Rose and Oliver wouldn't follow the rules, they fooled me. I promise you this...it won't happen again! I learned my lesson!”
 
Coss, “Well, we all watched your dad and we know you have the same thing inside you. You'll learn from this and I know you'll remember it.”
 
Borne, “It starts next week when Jimmy and I get a shot at Rose and Oliver. I guarantee you this, we will get our revenge!”

Main Event, Two out of Three Falls
Dean Ho and Rocky Della Serra vs. The New Zealand Sheepherders
 
First Fall-These two teams had a wild brawl on Tuesday. Della Serra and Ho matched the Kiwis blow for blow. This match starts in the same manner. Ho and Miller slug it out and when Della Serra and Williams come in, they match the intensity. Williams is able to corner Miller. He tags in Butch and they use the Gutbuster for the win.
Winners-The Sheepherders
 
Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka is in the Crow's Nest.
 
Coss, “With us is the Number One Contender for the Northwest Title, Jimmy 'Superfly' Snuka. Jimmy, you and Rip Oliver have gone at it and you've come very close to taking the title, but he has escaped each time. Now you and Matt Borne team up to take on Oliver and Rose in next week's main event.”
 
Snuka, “Bruddah, Oliver is on borrowed time. I'm taking the title and he can't stop me. Rose wants to stick his nose into it, I'll take care of him too. Next week, Borne and I will send a message.”
 
Coss, “Next week's main event, Snuka and Borne vs. Rose and Oliver. Now let's go back for the second fall.”
 
Second Fall-The brawl continues. The Sheepherders are vicious, but Ho and Della Serra match them. Ho catches Miller in an inside cradle to win fall number two.
Winners-Dean Ho and Rocky Della Serra
 
Coss and Savage are in the Crow's Nest.
 
Coss, “Partner, the weather is cold, but the action in the ring is hot. Rose and his Army got the better of things on Tuesday, but you know that Snuka, Billy Jack, Stasiak and Borne are ready for revenge.”
 
Savage, “Jimmy is so close to taking the title from Oliver, It may happen this week.”
 
Coss, “We are in Seaside, Eugene, Salem and Sedro Wolley this week, Snuka and Oliver are scheduled in those towns, don't miss it. Before we go to our third fall, we have a newcomer in the Northwest. He debuted on Tuesday night, he is Sheik Abdullah Hasan.”
 
Hasan comes to the Crow's Nest with two policemen.
 
Coss, “The Sheik showed us a lot of wrestling skill and also a little bit of, for lack of a better term, 'magic'. Mr. Hasan, why are the police with you?”
 
Hasan, “Shut up you stupid American! I am Sheik Ali Abdullah Hasan. I am the richest man in the Middle East and now I've come to American to prove the weakness of all American wrestlers! You saw what I could do on Tuesday, tonight, you will see another example of my power. These police men will hand cuff me with the most sophisticated handcuffs known to man. They will not hold me.”
 
The policemen lock on the handcuffs.
 
Savage, “There is no way he can escape. Those handcuffs are on tight.”
 
Hasan struggles for several second and he's free!
 
Coss, “Wow! I can't believe it!”
 
Savage, “I know these two officers, they are the best Portland has to offer. If they cuffed him, he was cuffed! I can't believe it!”
 
Coss, “Well, we've seen Hasan escape, next week we'll see him wrestle. I can't wait.”
 
Third Fall-Both teams tear into one another. Ho and Della Serra give it their best, but Miller uses the shoulder block and lateral press on Della Serra for the win.
Winners-The Sheepherders
 
Coss, “What a show, remember next week, Rose and Oliver vs. Snuka and Borne.

Borne and this stepping up in attitude bears watching. Good stuff by Ho. Colt continues to roll. Love the way you are crafting the tag reign of Stasiak and Haynes. As always, Mr, Fix-it works his magic.
