Gorilla Monsoon: Hello everybody and welcome once again to the Empire Wrestling Federation. I am Gorilla Monsoon, here with…
Bobby Heenan: Your host Bobby “The Brain” Heenan.
GM: Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to join us here Brain.
BH: The pleasure, is all yours.
GM: Of course it is. Lets go to ringside for this week’s Light Heavyweight Challenge.
1. Light Heavyweight Challenge: Danny Hodge PIN Mr. XGM: Another impressive showing by Danny Hodge, putting away the mysterious Mr. X with the Oklahoma Side Roll
BH: You want impressive, check out my man, Ray Stevens. Excuse me Gorilla.
2. Ray Stevens PIN Billy “Red” LyonsBH: Did you see that Monsoon? Did you see how easily he won that match? We should just rename him the Lyon Tamer.
GM: Sure, it’s real easy to win a match when you have a handful of tights like Stevens had there.
BH: Just what are you insinuating?
GM: Nevermind. Last week we had a match between Larry Zybyszko and Timber cut short, when the Legend got himself disqualified. Lets see if we can get a clear winner this week.
3. Larry Zybyszko DDQ TimberGM: Those two men were going crazy out there. The referee had no choice but to throw this match out.
BH: You can throw both those guys out for all I care. Lets get on to bigger and better things. And it doesn’t get any bigger or better than my man, King Kong Bundy.
4. King Kong Bundy & Jimmy Snuka PIN Wladek Kowalski & Yukon EricGM: It looked like Kowalski had him, but Snuka came in at the right time while the ref was tied up with Yukon Eric. That was enough for Bundy to change the momentum and hit the Avalanche and get the 5 count. And here’s the Brain.
BH: [panting] Gorilla, I’m lucky to still be alive!
GM: You looked pretty uncomfortable out there whenever Snuka was in the corner…I don’t think you could have been any farther away and not in the opposite corner.
BH: Have you seen that man. He’s crazy, he’s uncontrollable. I was taking my life in my hands out there.
GM: Well, I’m sure our fans are glad to see you alive and well. Now its time to go to Sean Mooney for a word with our champion.
[Sean Mooney is up on a podium in the crowd]
Sean Mooney: Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome the Empire Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Champion, “The Nature Boy” Buddy Rogers.
[Crowd boos, as the champ comes out.}
SM: Mr. Rogers, you requested this time to make a special announcement?
BR: I did. Weeks ago I won the EWF championship down in Rio De Janeiro, and I have defended this title every week against the greatest competition from all over the world.
SM: Actually may people are saying that your hand picked opponents have no real credentials…
BR: How dare you interrupt me and how dare you question the level of competition I have faced. These are champions from around the world and I defeated them all. There is no international superstar that can compete with me. And that is why I am here tonight, to retire as EWF champion. There is just nothing left for me to prove as champ…
Ilio DiPaolo: Excusa me seniore. Did you say that there is no international superstar that can compete with you? Well, its pretty obvious that you have never been in the ring with me.
BR: Just who do you think you are? And why would I give you a shot at my title?
ID: I am Ilio DiPaolo and I fight for Italy and all of my fans here in New York and all over America!
[The Long Island crowd goes nuts]
ID: I’ll show you first hand why I deserve a title shot. How about you get a tag team partner and I will get one and we meet tonight. If my team wins I get a title shot next week at the Madison Square Garden.
BR: [looking nervous] Fine, you’re on.
[The crowd goes crazy in anticipation for the Main Event, as we go back to the ring.]
5. “Dr. Death” Steve Williams DQ Greg “The Hammer” ValentineGM: Dr. Death had it all sewn up until Buddy Rose stuck his nose in there. There is still some unfinished business between Williams, DiBiase, Rose and Valentine. This will all be coming to a head soon.
BH: Pardon me Monsoon, its time for me to escort the greatest body in the EWF to the ring.
[“Ravishing” Rick Rude’s music starts as he comes down to the ring in his trademark robe.]
Rick Rude: Cut the music. What I'd like now if for all you fat, out of shape, Long Island Losers to please keep the noise down, so I can show your ladies what a real man looks like.
6. Rick Rude PIN Larry Sharpe[After Rude puts his opponent away quickly with the Rude Awakening. He grabs the mic again.]
RR: Now its time to give one of you ladies the thrill of your life. One of you lucky ladies will get to give the Ravishing One a Kiss.
[Rude goes down to ringside and finds a busty brunette. She refuses to give him a kiss. Rude says something unflattering to her, and she slaps him. Rude gets irate and grabs her by the arm. All of a sudden Diamond Dallas Page comes out to make the save and runs Rude off to the back. Page comes out to check on the woman, who gives him a hug and kiss.]
GM: Thank goodness for Diamond Dallas Page. That Rick Rude is a disgusting human being. I hope he gets what’s coming to him. It looks like the Brain has been run off, so helping me call the main event is Lord Alfred Hays. Thank you for joining us your Lordship.
Alfred Hays: My pleasure Gorilla. What an exciting main event we have tonight. Two outstanding competitors and who knows what superstars they will bring with them as tag team partners tonight.
GM: Lets find out!
Ilio DiPaolo & Antonio Rocca PIN George South & Buddy RogersAH: What an exciting encounter. Buddy Rogers was controlling a good part of the match, but once DiPaolo got the hot tag the momentum shifted completely.
GM: Ilio was a house of fire and really rook it to the champ, who had to get out of there. Once Rogers made the tag out, George South couldn’t do anything and he fell victim to the Airplane Spin.
AH: Such an impressive victory. And next week we will indeed see the championship match between Ilio DiPaolo and Buddy Rogers.
GM: It’s sure to be a happening. Make sure to join us next week for our big card from Madison Square Garden. For Lord Alfred Hays and the Brain, I’m Gorilla Monsoon. Goodnight everybody!
