Gorilla Monsoon and Lord Alfred Hayes sit at the desk at ringside
GM: Hello wrestling fans and welcome to Tuesday Night Titans, where we bring you only the best in professional wrestling. On tonight's program we will have some sensational match-ups featuring the Superstars of the World Wrestling Federation and joining me is his Lordship Alfred Hayes.
LH: Hello Gorilla, marvelous to be here for all the hard hitting action.
GM: Tonight in our first show we have scheduled the first round of the WWF World Heavyweight Title tournament, with four matches on tap. We also have a tag team encounter between Jimmy Hart's North-South Connection of Adrian Adonis and Dick Murdoch taking on the exciting team of Rick Martel and Tony Garea set for action as well. All this and so much more but let's go to ringside for our first match-up.
-WWF World Heavyweight Title Tournament- First Round-
1) "Big" John Studd (w/Bobby Heenan) beat Bob Backlund with the Backbreaker in 11:03.
-Backlund used his superior technical ability to counter the sheer size of Studd. He rolled the big man over into a Backbridge but only got a two count. This brought Heenan to the apron and as Backlund was distracted Studd hammered him with a Clothesline to the back of the head. He then tossed him over his shoulder and Backlund had no choice but to concede.
-WWF World Heavyweight Title Tournament- First Round-
2) Hulk Hogan defeated "Magnificent" Muraco (w/ Capt. Lou Albano) with the Legdrop in 6:28.
-Hogan was simply too powerful and had the crowd behind him. Albano jumped on the ring apron and jabbed Hulk with an object before he could get to him. This gave Muraco only a brief advantage as Hogan was spurred on by the crowd. A big boot was followed by the big legdrop and the three count was academic.
3) "Playboy" Buddy Rose (w/Jimmy Hart) defeated "Chief" Jay Strongbow with the Bombs Away in 12:44.
-This was a highly competitive match. The end saw Rose reverse a whip off the ropes and hit a high backdrop. He then dropped the vet on his head with a Brain buster and then he came off the top with his Bombs Away finish for the win.

NV: That's right. There is only one team, one team that will wear the gold belts and that's Nikolai Volkoff and the Iron Sheik. There are many teams here with big mouths but when you step in the ring with us you need to be ready to wrestle. That's what we do best. All you Americans get used to it. We are the best.

Tell the Americans how great I am. But no need to worry we will show you all very soon. Iran number One! Russia number one! USA acht put!

-WWF World Heavyweight Title Tournament- First Round-
4) "Rowdy" Roddy Piper defeated "Mr. USA" Tony Atlas by Disqualification in 10:55 when he refused to heed the ref's instructions.
-Piper produced an object from his tights and used it several times during the match. Of course the ref was unable to see it but once the match went to the floor the big man was looking for revenge. He whipped Piper into the guardrails and started laying in heavy shots to the body and then a huge head butt. The ref tried to restore order but he was pushed aside and he called for the bell. Piper beat a retreat to the locker room with his win and to get away from Atlas.
-WWF World Heavyweight Title Tournament- First Round-
5) "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase (w/Virgil) defeated "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan with the Million Dollar Sleeper in 5:12.
-Duggan missed an attempted clothesline into the turnbuckle and DiBiase spun around and locked in his submission hold and put Duggan away.
6) North-South Connection (Adrian Adonis & Dick Murdoch) (w/Jimmy Hart) defeated Tony Garea & Rick Martel when Murdon pinned Garea with the Brain buster in 5:22.
-Hart's team made quick work of their opponents. They isolated Garea and kept him in trouble. Adonis softened him up with his sleeper then tagged to Murdoch who dropped him on his head for the three count.
-Backstage- "Mean Gene Okerlund is with Hulk Hogan.
GO: What a night of action and a thrilling victory for you Hulk Hogan.
HH: Well, you know Mean Gene. It didn't take long for me to dispose of that nasty Beach Bum and as far as I'm concerned it's one down and two to go until I claim the World championship. Right now brother my sights are set high, on that big mean nasty giant John Studd. I'm on a seek and destroy mission and Studd I'm coming for you! (Flexes)
GO: Next week we will be in the city of brotherly love - Philadelphia.
