Appalachian Championship Wrestling from the KFBE Channel 9 Studio.
“Hello and welcome to Appalachian Championship Wrestling. I’m Gordon Solie, and the fallout from Wrestlepalooza has not settled yet. We’ve got a new Heavyweight Champion, in Rick Rude. He cashed in his Golden Opportunity contract right after Magnum T.A.’s successful title defense against Blackjack Mulligan. Magnum fought hard, but couldn’t overcome the outside interference from Rude’s bodyguard, Big John Studd, and that allowed Rude to hit his Rude Awakening finisher for the win. We also have a new Women’s Champion! Mildred Burke dominated Sherri Martel to become the new ACW Women’s Champion. Burke started hot and put Martel away in quick fashion, using her Alligator Clutch finisher to secure the win.”
“Before we go on with tonight’s show, let’s go over to the interview podium where Commissioner Theodore Long has a special announcement to make.”
Commissioner Long: “I have the privilege and honor to announce that Appalachian Championship Wrestling will be adding a new championship to our promotion. It will honor the lives, and lifestyle of the people of Appalachia. Starting tonight, an 8 man tournament will be held to crown the first ACW Heritage Champion. Here are the names of the 8 participants who will compete for the new ACW Heritage Championship .”
