Brawl at the Mall didn't dissapoint brother on_the_edge!

The Dudester does dudely things, and that battle royal was awesome.

When I saw Jet Set coming in last, I had a feeling he was gonna take it but glad to see Johnny Kobra prevail.

That Preparation-H moment was superb, literally laughed out loud at that one.

The Pumpkin Patch Kids are going to be tough. Let alone Road Demolition.

Whoa....

Whoa....

I always appreciate you being in the seats and having such kind words. Yea I was working toward a big name winning the Battle Royal but I was happy with Kobra coming out. Since it was only for money it was much like the first Royal Rumble where Hacksaw Duggan won. Glad you enjoyed the Preparation-H bit. I was having a bit of fun with the whole WWE wrestlers pointing at the WM sign of course. Yea, the PPK will be tough to beat. As tough as getting the hottest Christmas toy on Black Friday.

1/27/81 Mobile, AL - Card #52



Gorilla Typhoon: Welcome to Mobile, AL and The Show. We have a great card for you tonight. Road Demolition makes their RCW in ring debut in our main even. But first, our opening match is between two men with history. Rad Racer and Johnny Kobra. Let's go to the ring for that match.



Rad Racer w/Mr. Bonsai vs Johnny Kobra.

This was an intense action packed match. Johnny started hot then Rad Racer countered and got rolling. Mr. Bonsai got on the apron and tried saying something to the ref. The ref did not notice him but Rad Racer did. He was confused on why his manager was on the apron. With Racer's attention on Mr. Bonsai, Johnny attacked him from behind.

The next several minutes so the action go back and forth. Then Johnny started trying to finish Racer off. He performed his Leg Sweep finisher but only got a two count. A couple more pin attempts came after Kobra Strikes. Then another Leg Sweep but Racer survived all of that. Johnny came off the ropes and ate a back elbow. Racer went on the attack and had control when Mr. Bonsai got in the ring. He prepared to nail Johnny with a crane kick but missed and accidently connected on Rad Racer. The ref ordered a shocked Mr. Bonsai to the floor. The ref turned around to see Johnny go for the cover. He counted three and Johnny won the match.

Winner: Johnny Kobra via pinfall. (****)


Once the match was over Mr. Bonsai entered the ring again. He looked sadly down at his man then turned toward Johnny Kobra. Johnny slowly walked over and the two men stared at each other. Then Mr. Bonsai bowed to Johnny who got a huge smile on his face. Mr. Bonsai then went and held the ropes open so Johnny Kobra could leave the ring. Mr. Bonsai and Johnny Kobra walk off together to the back.



Gorilla Typhoon: What did we just witness?

KC: Wasn't it obvious Typhoon? Mr. Bonsai got tired of disappointment from the tricycle riding tike and hooked his wagon to the rising star of Johnny Kobra.



--- commercials including for a weather special next Monday that will have live coverage of the Groundhog to see if he sees his shadow ---



Gorilla Typhoon: The RCW officials will be announcing the sight of our biggest super card of the year, Wrestle Bowl II, sometime soon. It will be the first time one of our super cards will be on PPV for fans to watch from the comfort of their own homes. Just order it on PPV from your local cable provider. Of course, people who call our hotline, 1-999-THE-SHOW will get that info before the general public. I wonder where it will be this year KC.

KC: I have heard rumors Gorilla that it might not be just one location. Wrestle Bowl II might be from THREE different locations.

Gorilla Typhoon: What? That is a crazy idea. Who would do such a nutty thing?

KC: I am getting sick and tired of you trying to make me look like an idiot Gorilla.

Gorilla Typhoon: Trust me KC, you do not need my help in that area.



Pelvis Pressly vs Red Pirate Rogers.

This was Pelvis's first match since kicking his manager, Big Boss Jr., to the curb. If this match was any indication it was a good decision. Pelvis dominated and picked up a fast win after a piledriver.

Winner: Pelvis Pressly by pinfall. (*)



An announcement that next week we will see the return of Across from the Spectrum. His special guests will be Chet Skye and Jesse Wild, All-Night Rocking Express.

A replay of the end of the Tag Team title match at Brawl at the Mall with the debut of Road Demolition.



Road Demolition vs T.A. Templeton & Jobber Joe.

Templeton and Joe came out first. Joe started working on Templeton's hair and stache soon as they entered the ring. The crowd went nuts when War Pigs began playing. Some of the fans were even singing along. Road Demolition came out and strode to the ring with confidence and determination. Once the match started it was all Road Demolition as they took turns destroying Joe. Aximal tagged Hawsh then placed Joe over his knee. Hawsh went to the second rope and flew off, nailing Joe with a flying elbow. KC says that is their finisher, Destruction Device. Hawsh covers Joe and gets the three.

Winner: Road Demolition via pinfall. (*)


T.A. Templeton starts to enter the ring but then he looks at both members of Road Demolition before turning around and walks up the ramp, heading toward the lockers.

2/3/81 Birmingham, AL - card #53



Gorilla Typhoon: Welcome to Birmingham and The Show. We have a fun show tonight. USA Champion Arizona Chance will be in action in a non-title match in our main event. The boys of All-Night Rocking Express will be on Across from the Spectrum. Plus, we will get an answer from Lazer and Buzzsaw to the challenge from Red Scare.

KC: And just like our theme song, I'm still standing. No matter how much Gorilla tries to bring me down.

Gorilla Typhoon: Give me a break. Let's go to the ring for our opening match.



Dark Invader vs Ace Arcadium.

Action was even for a couple minutes. Then Ace tossed Invader into the ropes and dropped to the mat a couple times. When he got up and tried to give Invader a back body drop, he got power bombed instead. From there Invader dominated. It did take three The Corruptor's to finally put Ace away but Invader did put him away.

Winner: Dark Invader by pinfall. (**)



We see the far out, psycho set for Across from the Spectrum. His guests are Jesse Wild and Chet Skye.

Spectrum: Well, hell...hell...hello. Recently you two radically cool wrestlers, bestest of buddies, got into a figh...figh...figh...fight. We almost seen a spllllllllllllit. So, people want to know, what's up up up up.

Chet Skye: Brothers sometimes have spats. Sometimes things don't go the way you hope and tempers flare. But it is nothing to get worked up over. We got over it and are going to go out there and do what we do best. Dominate the tag team scene and work to get those titles around our waists.

Jesse Wild: Exactly. We are too good...

Chet Skye: Dang straight we are. We are ARE. We are the best.

Spectrum: How do you expect to win win win the titles when your title shot at Brawl Bra Bra Bra Brawl at the Mall all all was your last shot against The Thrashers?

Jesse Wild: Well, it's simple...

Chet Skye: That is right. When we dominate the scene and keep beating all the other teams the RCW officials will HAVE to give us another title shot.

At that Jesses walks off. Chet looks surprised but then walks off after him.

Sitting in their locker room, watching The Show, is T.A. Templeton and Jobber Joe.

T.A. Templeton: You see that, Joe? That should have been us. We should have been the ones to interview the All-Night Rocking Express.

Jobber Joe: I hear ya T.A. The Beauty Shop is going to be the top interview segment.

T.A. Templeton: It better be. I pretty, fool.



Gorilla Typhoon: Next week The Show comes to Chattanooga then we head to Georgia with stops in Atlanta and Savannah. So, get your tickets and come out and watch The Show live.



All-Night Rocking Express vs Shop of Horrors w/Gothica.

The Express were rocking in this match with frequent tags and double teaming. They hit Double Fistdrops on Keith Blood and before he could be stopped, Jesse Wild pinned him.

Winner: All-Night Rocking Express via pinfall. (**)


Gothica ran her fingers thru her hair in frustration. She then yelled at her men to return to the back.



--- commercials including for Burger Chef ---



The Gargoyle is walking in back and passes an angry Gothica leading her men to their locker room. After passing them he stops and tosses a glance back at Gothica and smiles.



In the interview area we see Lazer and Buzzsaw.

Lazer: Red Scare. Hammerhead. You want to challenge me and my man Buzzsaw to a best of five series. Fine. You got it. We will show you how we and the good old U S of A do things. You guys are going down. Just like your hockey team did to ours.

Buzzsaw: When the gates to Babylon open our salvation is within reach of the eagle of truth. That eagle flies high and far over us foretelling of our destiny to be victorious over the Red Scare. It is inevitable.

Lazer: Yea. What he said.



Arizona Chance vs Skullgore w/The Gargoyle in a non-title match.

The champ controlled most of the action in the first few minutes. He hit Last Crusade but only got a two count. Later when he hit it again before he went for the cover The Gargoyle seemed to cast a spell. Arizona seemed to get winded. He looked weak and before he even could make a cover Skullgore recovered and attacked him. From there it was all Skullgore. He hit a Crossbone Body Block before pinning Arizona.

Winner: Skullgore by pinfall. (***)



KC: Impressive win by Skullgore. He might have just earned himself a title match against Arizona.



Gothica is in the back watching the action on a monitor. She smiles as Skullgore celebrates in the ring.

2/10/81 Chattanooga, TN - card #54



After the opening video we see Johnny Kobra and Mr. Bonsai arriving to the arena. Mean Jeans catches up to them.

Mean Jeans: Gentlemen, a moment of your time. Everyone wants to know what happened a couple weeks ago. Mr. Bonsai, why did you attack your man Rad Racer? Why are you with Johnny Kobra now?

Johnny Kobra: Let me answer your questions Jeans. You see, Mr. Bonsai here got in deep with some shady characters and owed them. Big. Meanwhile, I had 25 large to do with as I please. So, I bought his manager talents to help me rise to the top. Now that he has real talent to manage, he will have a champion and I will have gold around my waist.

They walk off before Mean Jeans can ask another question.



Gorilla Typhoon: Well, that explains things. Rad Racer was upset over the incident and he asked for a rematch. That will be our opening match. We also have the first match in the Best of 5 series between Lazer, Buzzsaw and Red Scare. Let's go to the ring to kick off the action.



Johnny Kobra w/Mr. Bonsai vs Rad Racer.

Rad Racer was pumped up for this match. He took out his frustration on Johnny. Things were going his way till Mr. Bonsai got on the apron and yelled at the ref. Rad came over and grabbed his former manager. Mr. Bonsai hit him with a palm strike, knocking how down. Johnny Kobra was able to get his offense going. He used his finisher Leg Sweep a couple times and finally pinned Rad Racer.

Winner: Johnny Kobra by pinfall. (**)

Gothica is giving her team, Shop of Horrors, a tongue lashing when a delivery boy brings her a dozen roses. She looks at the card that came with them and smiles. Keith Blood looks puzzled while Slashmaster just stands there staring into space.



Buzzsaw w/Lazer vs Space Monkey w/Hammerhead in the first of the Best of 5 series match.

Space Monkey started off with some Monkey Business but Buzzsaw was not having it. He lifted Space Monkey up, slammed him hard to the mat and covered for a two and a half count. Buzzsaw proceeded to unleash a powerful attack on Space Monkey. Space Monkey tried to fight back but could not put long strings of offense together. Buzzsaw kept rolling over Space Monkey with his Super Soldier Shoulder Block. He went for the cover and Hammerhead got in the ring. The distraction worked as Buzzsaw got up and started toward him. The ref stopped him and ordered Hammerhead out of the ring. Lazer came over and got in Hammerhead's face. As the two argues RCW officials came down to make sure it did not come to blows. They ushered both men to the back. In the ring Buzzsaw went for the kill and performed Gladiator Press Drop.

Winner: Buzzsaw via pinfall to take a 1-0 lead in the series. (***)



--- commercials including from Burger Chef for their Valentine's Day special ---



The Annihilator vs He-Beast the Barbarian.

The former World Champion looked good here. He-Beast had his moments but The Annihilator was too much for him. He-Beast survived a Hasta La Vista and a couple Armageddons. But he kept taking The Annihilator's best shots and was getting worn down. Finally, a Terminated finished him off.

Winner: The Annihilator by pinfall. (**)


After the match The Annihilator grabbed He-Beast's chain and started whipping him with it. Then he wrapped the chain around He-Beast's neck and proceeded to choke him. The ref instructed the time keeper to ring the bell which he did over and over. The Annihilator finally seemed to tire of his attack and simply let go and left the ring.



Gorilla Typhoon: Man, the former World Champion really snapped there. Maybe he was sending a message to the roster.

KC: Either way it was one brutal assault. He-Beast needed someone to come out and rescue him. It is a shame Iceberg didn't do it.

Gorilla Typhoon: Iceberg? Give me a break KC.

KC: Man, what is your deal Typhoon? Why are you buggin on my man Iceberg?

Gorilla Typhoon: Are you serious? The man has never showed up for one of his matches. I am not talking about just here on The Show. He has had numerous matches scheduled for our house shows and he did not appear then either. His record now stands at 0-42.

KC: I know, isn't it amazing?

Gorilla Typhoon: What?

KC: See, you are a glass is half empty kind of guy. The fact is Iceberg has one of the best streaks going ever seen in business. He has started his career going 42 straight matches without being pinned or submitted. Only Pierre the Enormous has had any kind of streak like that. No one else has. Not you Typhoon. In fact, I have it on good authority that on more than one occasion you laid down and let your opponent pin you because you heard the concession stand was having a buy one, get one free sale on hotdogs.

Gorilla Typhoon: Get out of here. I am getting tired of you making jokes about my eating habits but now you are even saying I laid down in my matches. I always gave 100% in the ring. That is more than you can say about your wrestling career. Or your acting one for that matter.

With that KC took off his headpiece and stood up. Gorilla did the same and the two men started yelling at each other and even got in a small shoving match before RCW officials came out to separate them as the show went off the air.

2/17/81 Atlanta, GA - card #55



The show starts with Commissioner Mr. Codger in his office.

Mr. Codger: Last week an unfortunate incident happened between our announcing team of Gorilla Typhoon and KC "the bod". I have spoken with both men and made it clear that not under any circumstances should something like that happen again. If it does, they will be suspended pending a review and could face the possibility of being fired. They know they must not put their hands on each other. Furthermore, they need to act like the professionals they are while doing The Show. Now, it is obvious they have some unsettled issues. So, I have figured out a way for them to work those issues out. In an unprecedented first, they will have a match at Wrestle Bowl II. But this will not be any normal match. It will not even be a wrestling match. For the first time ever, we will have a Battle of the Wrestling Cliches match. Both men will enter the ring and exchange wrestling clichés. After each man gives one his opponent will have 30 seconds to respond with one that has not already been used. Whoever cannot do so in that time frame will lose and his opponent will be declared the winner. May the best man win and may we never, EVER see a spectacle like we did last week. Now, enjoy The Show.



Gorilla Typhoon: Welcome to Hotlanta and The Show. Before we get started, I want to apologize to KC and you fans for my actions last week. That was not the kind of person I am or want to be. That being said I look forward to Wrestle Bowl II and schooling KC. As for tonight, we have a number one contender tag team match in our main event. The team of Pierre the Enormous and Star Boy will take on the Pumpkin Patch Kids. Who will win and go on to Wrestle Bowl II to face The Thrashers for the World Tag Team Champions?

KC: Whoever wins tonight will leave Wrestle Bowl just like you Gorilla. As losers. Let's get to the action already.



Tennis Pro w/Valley Girl and Ball Boy vs Bug Buster.

Tennis Pro came out like a house on fire and Buster almost got beat in the first couple minutes. Then Buster fought back. Momentum went back and forth as each man tried to gain an advantage. The All Americans Tag Team came down to ringside. Tennis Pro tossed Bug Buster thru the ropes then he got in the ref's face and screamed at him. While they had a shouting match in the ring, The All Americans Tag Team jumped Buster. They were all over him. They backed off as Tennis Pro calmed down and told the ref to start his count. The ref got to ten and Buster was not even close to getting in the ring.

Winner: Tennis Pro via count out. (***)



Mean Jeans: We are just a few weeks away from Wrestle Bowl II. Do you want to know where it will be held? Then call the RCW hotline at 1-999-THE-SHOW. Be one of the first to know. Charges apply, kids make sure to get your parent's permission before calling.



--- commercials including for The Show coming to Savannah, GA and Jacksonville, FL ---



The Think Tank are in the interview area.

The Thinker: Dude Brohan, you have not given us an answer to Jet Set's challenge. He wants to face you at Wrestle Bowl II for the World Championship. What do we have to do? Do I need to send Mad Arab to find you and get an answer from you? (Mad Arab stepped forward a bit and gave the camera a menacing look.) Come on you bloated, bottled blonde, bimbo. Accept the challenge. We both know the weight of the World title is too much for you. Instead of going surfing all the time you have to make appearances to appease the peons. Face Jet Set and let him take that burden from you.

Jet Set Strutter: That's right Dudester. To be the World Champion you have to be the guy. You are not the guy. Who is the guy? Whoooooooooooo? (Points to himself) Me. This guy is the guy. That World title belongs around my amazing waist. Not yours. Whoooooooooo? Mine!

As Jet Set starts strutting around The Thinker points to his wrist watch and made a "call me" hand gesture.



Lazer w/Buzzsaw vs Hammerhead w/Space Monkey in second of Best of 5 series match.

Lazer was looking to take a commanding 2-0 lead over Red Scare and he started fast. Then Hammerhead's power swung momentum in his favor. He hit a Soviet Sledge and went for the cover. Lazer kicked out with gusto at one. Hammerhead was shocked. The two men slugged it out. Once Lazer started getting the upper hand Space Money made a spectacle ring side. He hoot and hollered, jumping on and off the apron. It did the trick as Lazer turned his attention to him allowing Hammerhead to recover. The Russian used his power to beat down the former World Champion. After a couple unsuccessful pin attempts, he rocked Lazer with a Russian Sickle. Lazer's feet were near the edge of the ring and as Hammerhead covered him, Space Monkey grabbed Lazer's feet. The ref counted three and did not see what Space Monkey was doing.

Winner: Hammerhead by pinfall to even the series at one fall apiece. (***)


Buzzsaw is going ballistic as he tries to make the ref understand that Red Scare cheated.



--- commercials including for a sale on RC cars at Radio Shack ---



Mean Jeans: Jet Set Strutter and The Thinker have set down a challenge for Dude Brohan at Wrestle Bowl. Will Brohan accept? I plan on finding out next week. So, make sure to tune in next week and find out his answer.



Pierre the Enormous & Star Boy vs Pumpkin Patch Kids in a #1 Contenders match.

Star Boy and Frightmare started the match and Star Boy was on Frightmare before he knew what hit him. Star Boy was hitting his offense and not letting the PPK member breath. A Flying Cross Chop led to a two count. Then Star Boy tagged in his big buddy. Pierre pounded on Frightmare till he was wobbly. Pierre then tagged Star Boy back in. After another close pin attempt Star Boy went to the top turnbuckle. He didn't stop there. He motioned for Pierre to get in the ring. When the Enormous one did Star Boy got on his shoulders and almost split Frightmare with a second Flying Cross Chop. Hallowicked tried to save Frightmare but he ran into a brick wall named Pierre.

Winner: Pierre the Enormous & Star Boy via pinfall to win a title shot. (**)


Could Star Boy be on the verge of a second run with the World Tag Team Championship? After the match the Pumpkin Patch Kids got up and looked like they might start something but then they offered their hands. The winners shook their hands as the crowd cheered.

Boo Pumpkin Patch Kids got robbed.

2/24/81 Savannah, GA - card #56



After the opening video and Elton John's "I'm Still Standing" finishes we see Mean Jeans and RCW World Heavyweight Champion Dude Brohan in the interview area.


Mean Jeans: I am here with RCW World Heavyweight Champion Dude Brohan. Dude, you have been challenged by Jet Set Strutter to face him at Wrestle Bowl with the World title on the line. What is your response?

Dude Brohan: Well, you know something Mean Jeans, the Dudester has never backed down from a challenge. Whether it is surfing the Mexican pipeline, Cloudbreak in Fiji, The Box down under, down the Amazon river or even taking that sneaky Pepsi challenge. I've faced them all bro. No one likes a challenge more than me bro. So, yes bro, I accept that stinky The Stinker's challenge to face his man Jet Set at Wrestle Bowl. I will defeat him bro and send him back to that mansion he lives in to water down his champagne with his tears. The Dudester will go into Wrestle Bowl the World Champ bro and the Dudester will leave Wrestle Bowl the World Champ bro. Oh yea!!!

He does some surfing poses as Mean Jeans sends it back to Gorilla and KC.



Gorilla Typhoon: Thanks, Mean Jeans. Welcome to Savannah and The Show. We have a great card tonight including a title match in the main event. Skullgore will challenge Arizona Chance for the USA Championship. Skullgore beat Arizona recently in a non-title match. Will he be able to repeat that tonight with the title on the line? It could be an instant classic.

KC: Don't use all your ammo now Gorilla. Save the cliches for our match at Wrestle Bowl.

Gorilla Typhoon: Give me a break. Let's go to the ring for our opening match.



All-Night Rocking Express vs The All Americans Tag Team w/Valley Girl and Ball Boy.

The boys of ARE start hot. Then The All Americans fought back. They cut off the ring and cornered Chet Skye on their side of the ring. They used tags to stay fresh and hit each of their finishers on Chet. Dasher Hatfield his a second Grandslam and went for the cover. Jesse tried to get in the ring to make a save but Ball Boy had a death grip on his leg. The ref counted three and the match was over.

Winner: The All Americans Tag Team by pinfall. (**)


Finally getting his leg free Jesse got in the ring to check on Chet. As he got to his feet Chet shrugged Jesse off of him. Then Chet started yelling at Jesse. Jesse seems confused. He tries explaining that Ball Boy had his leg. Chet is pointing his finger in Jesse's face. Jesse slaps it away and then Chet shoves him away. RCW officials enter the ring and keep the two tag partners separated.

The Gargoyle is leading his man Skullgore down a hallway. Then we see Gothica leading Shop of Horrors in the opposite direction. They pass each other and the camera catches The Gargoyle and Gothica sharing a glance with each other.



Lazer w/Buzzsaw vs Space Monkey w/Hammerhead in the third of the Best of 5 match.

The early advantage went to Lazer thanks to his power. Then Space Monkey came back. Momentum kept changing for a couple minutes. Lazer almost got the pin on his second cover. A bit later Lazer threw Space Monkey out of the ring. He started to go out after him but Hammerhead stood over Space Monkey. Lazer backed up and waited for Monkey to return. When he got back in the ring he got on a roll and almost pinned Lazer. Finally, Lazer started dominating and he applied Lazerlock. Hammerhead got in the ring to try and make the save but was cut off by Buzzsaw. Space Monkey had no choice but to tap out.

Winner: Lazer via submission. (***)

I am coming to RCW. Me and all my great wealth. Are you ready?"



Gorilla Typhoon: It has been a great night so far. It will be a great night next week when we come to Jacksonville, FL and start the March to Wrestle Bowl. We already have two matches set. Dude Brohan will face Jet Set Strutter for the World title. Also, The Thrashers will defend their World Tag Team Championship against the team of Pierre the Enormous and Star Boy. Remember, Star Boy was one half of the first tag champs. Can he be champ for a second time? Now, let's go to the ring for the main event.



Arizona Chance vs Skullgore w/The Gargoyle for the USA Championship.

This one was almost over in a hurry. The champ hit a snap suplex and covered for a close two count. Arizona Chance kept the pressure on Skullgore. After another two count Arizona climbed the ropes and was looking to go for his finisher. On the floor The Gargoyle started to chant. Arizona Chance stopped what he was doing. He started to wobble on the top of the turnbuckle. Then he fell forward into the ring. Skullgore recovered and went on the attack. A Crossbone Body Block led to a two count. Then it took three Diving Skullbutt's but finally Skullgore got the victory and won the title.

Winner: Skullgore by pinfall to win the title. (**)


As The Gargoyle and Skullgore celebrated with the title belt, EMTs checked on Arizona Chance who had been busted open and had blood flowing down his face.

This week it's Jacksonville, next week it is Daytona Beach and finally we end up in Myrtle Beach, SC. For tonight, we have some great wrestling action. Let's go to the ring for our opening match.



Johnny Kobra w/Mr. Bonsai vs Red Pirate Rogers.

Johnny spent a lot of money for the services of Mr. Bonsai but early on it looked like he was not getting his money's worth. Rogers was dominating the action. He almost got the pin on his second cover. Sensing trouble, Mr. Bonsai slipped into the ring and waited for Rogers to get to his feet. When he did Mr. Bonsai went for a crane kick. Rogers ducked and Mr. Bonsai kicked Kobra just as he got to his feet.

Rogers made the cover as the ref told Mr. Bonsai to get to the floor. That distraction might have saved Kobra as he kicked out at 2 1/2. A short bit later Kobra caught Rogers with a side kick and he finally got to go on the attack. He made several covers including after hit finisher a couple times but Rogers showed his intestinal fortitude by kicking out every time. Kobra got frustrated and hit a couple low blows with his knee. A third Leg Sweep was finally enough to put Rogers away.

Winner: Johnny Kobra via pinfall. (****)


Red Pirate Rogers looks to be hurt. As Kobra is having his arm raised Rad Racer rushes the ring and jumps him from behind. Kobra and Racer start fighting and the scuffle ends up on the floor. They start fighting into the crowd as medical staff come down to check on Rogers. The cameras try to keep up with the fight but lose Kobra and Racer as they leave the seating area.

Gorilla Typhoon: It is time for the fourth match in the Best of 5 series. Buzzsaw takes on Hammerhead. His team leads 2-1 and can clinch the series with a win over Hammerhead.

KC: Not so fast Typhoon. Hammerhead beat Buzzsaw's partner Lazer, a former World Champion lest ye forget, and he will do the same to Hammerhead to even up the series. You can take that to the bank.

Gorilla Typhoon: Now look who's staring early with the cliches before our match.

KC: Shut up Gorilla.



Buzzsaw w/Lazer vs Hammerhead w/Space Monkey in the fourth match of the Best of 5 series.

Buzzsaw started in his usual high-octane style. He hit a Gladiator Press Drop and got a two count. A scoop slam almost got him the three. Hammerhead was in deep trouble. After Clothesline City Buzzsaw went for another cover. Space Monkey jumped on the turnbuckle and howled wildly. Buzzsaw came over and grabbed him, preparing to slam him. Space Monkey raked Buzzsaw's eyes forcing Buzzsaw to release the hold of him. Monkey quickly returned to the floor as Hammerhead jumped on the opportunity. It was his turn to roll over his opponent. He hit both of his finisher's once but did not get the pin. A second Soviet Sledge, a cover and the ref counted three.

Winner: Hammerhead by pinfall to even the series at 2-2. (**)


The series is tied and the fifth and final match will be next week as Lazer & Buzzsaw take on Red Scare. Who will come out on top, the USSR or the good old U S of A?



--- commercials including for some RCW house shows ---



Dude Brohan will defend the RCW World Championship against Jet Set Strutter at Wrestle Bowl II. Next week Jet Set will be in action plus the location of Wrestle Bowl II will be revealed for the first time outside of the RCW Hotline.



Road Demolition vs Stallions Gone Wild.

When War Pig starts playing the crowd goes wild. Hawish and Will kicked off the action and in a bit of a surprise, Will was in control. Hawish knew he was in a bit of trouble so he made a defensive tag. Aximal came in and beat down Will. After a two count on a cover Aximal tagged Hawkish. They performed Destruction Device and Hawkish made the cover for the pin.

Winner: Road Demolition via pinfall. (*)



Shop of Horrors and Gothica are in their locker room.

Gothica: Did you see how The Gargoyle led Skullgore to the USA title? We should have gold. You men are big, bad and mean. You should be tag team champs. But you are not. We will fix that. We will get back on the winning path. First, we need to take out those freaks Pumpkin Patch Kids. I got us a match against them at Wrestle Bowl. You two better go in there and destroy them. I mean if The Gargoyle can take someone like Skullgore and make them a champion I should be able to do the same with a great tag team like you two.

Keith Blood: Eh, Skullgore just got lucky and Gargoyle was in the right place at the right time.

Gothica: (staring off into space with a slight smile on her face) Oh no, it was intelligence and skill that got his man Skullgore to win that title.
