Big Time Wrestling Presents - Power Hour of Wrestling Episode # 02
January 12th, 1980 (Saturday)- Ottawa, Ontario - Ottawa Hall (136 in Attendance)
Host - Gordon Solie
The show opens with Gordon Solie welcoming us to the show. He says that there will be two cards of wrestling this week. He says that on Thursday the Big Time Wrestling crew will be heading to Kingston, Ontario at the Kingston Arena for a big night of wrestling action. He says there will also be a show as usual at the Robert Guertin Arena on Friday. Tickets for those shows are on sale now and there are still some great seats left. He then turns his attention to Mike Rotunda walking on camera.
Gordon Solie: I am joined by Mike Rotunda who has some words he’d like to get off his chest. What do you have to say Mike?
Mike Rotunda: Well, I just wanted to say that Koko Ware better watch himself. I am still gunning for him…
Suddenly Mike Rotunda falls to the ground. The camera shifts to the left and we see Koko Ware standing over Rotunda with a metal pipe.
Koko Ware: Mike Rotunda, you just had to keep running your mouth. Now look at you. You’re on the ground with a busted knee. I took you out of action and there is nothing you can do about it!
We then see federation officials walk over the downed Mike Rotunda. As they put him on a gurney, Gordon Solie says that they are going to take a short commercial break but when the show comes back we are going to hear from “Ravishing” Rick Rude.
Back from the commercial break we go to Gordon Solie once again with a microphone in hand.
Gordon Solie: My guest at this time - “Ravishing” Rick Rude!
We then see Rick Rude walk on camera. Gordon Solie asks him what he has to say.
“Ravishing” Rick Rude: You know, I look out at this crowd and see women. But they’re not beautiful women - they are gross Ottawa sweat hogs. Now, I want to show you the most Ravishing woman I have ever seen in my life. The most beautiful woman in the world and my new valet - I welcome to you fans - Sherri Martel!
The fans boo as Sherri Martel walks on camera with a black sequin jacket. She takes the microphone away from Solie and then starts to talk.
Sherri Martel: Ladies, look at me. I am absolutely gorgeous. See my man here - Rick Rude, the sexiest man alive. We are going to form the best duo here in Big Time Wrestling. As a matter of fact, I heard there is going to be a tournament starting to crown the very first Big Time Wrestling Canadian champion. Well Rick Rude will be in that tournament.
Sherri pauses for a moment and looks out at the fans in attendance. She smiles and then continues to speak.
Sherri Martel: The tournament will be begin this Friday night at the Robert Guertin Arena and my man Rick Rude will be crowned the first Canadian champion and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Now if you don’t mind, Rick and I have some business meetings to go to. Get ready Big Time Wrestling because we are taking over!
Gordon Solie: Well, we are going to a brief commercial break but when we come back we are going to have a match. It’s going to be Baron Von Raschke taking on Virgil. Don’t change that channel because we will be back with more wrestling action.
After the commercial break we go back to our host of the program.
Gordon Solie: I’d like to announce the main event for the Thursday card in Kingston. It’s going to be “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes taking on new comer to Big Time Wrestling - Bam Bam Bigelow! Plus there will be seven other matches on that big card of wrestling. The next night - on Friday we are going to see Bruno Sammartino taking on the winner of the Bam Bam Bigelow and Dusty Rhodes match from the previous night. Also on the card we will see all the greats here in Big Time Wrestling. Now, let’s go to our match of the evening - it’s Baron Von Raschke taking on Virgil and the match happens right now.
Match # 01 - Baron Von Raschke -versus- Virgil
- Baron Von Raschke beat Virgil with a Brain Claw at 1:32. It was a short but competitive match. After the match Baron tossed Virgil to the floor and then celebrated his victory. He then exited the ring and Gordon Solie was there to get words from him.
Gordon Solie: Baron, congratulations on your win here this afternoon.
Baron Von Raschke: I don’t need your congratulations. I just did what I do best and that is hurt people. I am going to be on the show in both Kingston and Hull and I plan to do the same thing I did here to my opponents. I am also entering myself into the Big Time Wrestling Canadian championship tournament. There will be nobody who can stop me - not even Rick Rude. Now get out of the way!
Baron pushes past Gordon Solie. Solie turns around and faces the camera.
Gordon Solie: Well there you have it. Another edition of Big Time Wrestling’s Power Hour of Wrestling. Don’t forget to get your tickets for the Kingston and Hull shows this week! We will be back next week with another show. Good afternoon everyone!
