Gorilla and Bobby start out the show.
Gorilla: “Today we will have the other 3 matches of the first round of the U.S. title tournament. In the first match, it’s Ole Anderson going up against Eddie Gilbert.”
Bobby: “That’s just what the world needs. A midget representing the United States as champion. Do you know what kind of embarrassment that would be?”
Gorilla: “No bigger then the embarrassment I feel from having to work with you, surely. In the next first round match, it will be Pedro Morales, the odds on favorite to win the entire thing, going up against your “mystery man” Bobby Heenan. After today, we will finally be able to drop this charade, and the world will see once and for all that you were the one that brought that awful monster Takayama to the United States.”
Bobby has a big smirk.
“Pedro Morales, #1 ranked contender in the entire world. What a joke. My man will embarrass you in every way. He dresses better than you do, he looks better than you, he sure is smarter than you are, and most of all he is a better wrestler. And he is from the United States, not to say that Takayama isn‘t!”
Gorilla: Highly unlikely. And the final 1st round match. It will be Eddie Graham, one of the all time great tag team wrestlers, now trying his luck in singles competition once again, going up against an opponent that as of today was TBD. His original opponent was injured earlier this week I understand.
Bobby: “Where is Jerry Graham? I knew he was a great guy just by how he walked (Vince Mcmahon stole his power walk from Jerry Graham apparently).
Gorilla: I assume he finally has been placed in an asylum. Eddie has been hearing a lot of cheers since Jerry disappeared. Let’s get down to the ring before somebody gets ideas and puts the Weasel into one!
-Ole Anderson comes down and grabs the mic. He cuts an intense interview: “Eddie Gilbert is one of those guys that can’t really wrestle; he can only sneak up behind people and attack them. Down where you come from, you may be a big star, but this is world wide wrestling. Nobody wants to see a goofball from Tennessee on global programming, and certainly you have no chance one on one vs. me!”
-”Hot Stuff” hits and the fans eagerly await Gilbert’s return to in ring action.
"And his opponent, weighing 222 pounds, originally from Lexington Tennessee, but now residing in Every Girls Dream, Hot Stuff Eddie Gilbert!"
Eddie grabs the mic and stares at Ole: "Ole Anderson, you ought to be arrested for murder, because when you walked out here, you killed the ratings."
Eddie starts fast, using some quick high impact moves on Ole. However, Ole turns the tide hitting a few power moves. Ole goes for a headlock pinning combination.
Gorilla: Highly unlikely you are going to pin a guy with a headlock.
Brain: I’ve pinned a guy with a headlock.
Gorilla: Where, in your dreams?
Ole stays on the offensive, and the fans chant "Eddie! Eddie!" He goes for the diving knee drop, but Eddie is a ½ step too fast and moves out of the way. Ole doesn’t go all the way to the mat and instead rolls, but right into a DDT. Eddie then connects with the hot shot for an upset victory, just barely getting the 3 before Ole kicks out as the fans erupt and Eddie rolls out of the ring to celebrate.
------------Another vignette of Kobashi doing moves and getting pops. Gorilla mentions that he heard that when she was in Japan, women’s champ Madusa became close with Kobashi.
Brain: “Madusa was great fortune for her parents. Her mom wanted a girl, and her dad wanted a boy, and they were both happy.”
Gorilla: “Which means she had two more happy parents than you did.”
Brain: “You can’t bring me down right now Monsoon. Up next, you are going to see the first United States Champion."
------------------------
After the break, camera is on the ring announcer Cappetta. The fans erupt as Pedro Morales makes his way towards the ring and is announced.
Gorilla: “What an ovation for Pedro Morales! Let’s see if he can shut Bobby Heenan up.
And wrestling fans his opponent, Bobby Heenan presents………………………………........

Gorilla: “Oh I can’t believe it! It’s not Takayama…It’s Tully Blanchard! Tully Blanchard, one of the finest technical wrestlers in the world, and deceptively powerful…unfortunately, he is prone to try and bend the rules to suit his own purposes.”
The match is a lot of psychology, and Tully making Pedro look good and taking hard bumps. It appears Tully will win due to a foreign object Brain gave him being used, but instead Gilbert comes down with the bat and is about to hit Tully…instead Pedro rolls Tully up while he is distracted for the victory.
---------------------------------------------
Back in the studio, it’s Gorilla solo talking about some upcoming events. Brain comes in during the middle, huffing and puffing, then flipping out.
Brain “Did you see that! Tully had him beat, 1-2-3, when that damn hillbilly came out with a bat and cheated him out of the win!
Gorilla: “You do realize we can all see you gave Tully a foreign object?”
Brain: “What? That was a watch; he just wanted to see how long it took him to beat that garbanzo bean.”
Gorilla: “One way, or another, Pedro Morales moves on, and your man is knocked out!”
-------------------
Back to the ring, it’s David Von Erich, increasing in popularity, with a couple girls trying to grab and kiss him. He beats up a random ugly heel looking wrestler in almost no time, with increasingly crisp and powerful moves.
Gorilla: “We could be soon looking at the youngest world champion in history. Buddy Rogers better be watching this.”
Brain: "I don't understand why Von Erich doesn't just go to college instead. In Texas, all you have to do is keep half your teeth for four years and you graduate.
-------------------------
Bockwinkel and Stevens (with Heenan) promo for an upcoming match at a house show against the Midnight Rockers. Bockwinkel starts into a cerebral rant on the Rockers and what he will do to them. When he says “You are looking at the #2 rated wrestler in the entire world. All the 8 to 5 lifers who wear white socks may cheer you Rockers…” Ray Stevens looks at Bockwinkel a bit strangely and interrupts.
Stevens: “Why is it that you, Nick, are rated as #2 in the world, yet I am rated #3? I’ve defeated everybody I’ve ever stepped in the ring with, and have been doing so for years. I‘ve been a main event star since age 17, even younger than those punks the Midnight Rockers!”
Bockwinkel: “Don’t be a belligerent recalcitrant Ray. Subdue your emotions. Ray and I stand on the mountain, and have done so for the last 3 ½ years. Get to work, Rockers. When you try to crawl over the top of that mountain, you will be kicked back down to the bottom like every other cretin that has dared to step into the ring with us.”

------Eddie Graham brings his good looks and a smile down to the ring, high fiving fans and even stopping to talk to two different people.
And now wrestling fans, his opponent………………………

Fans start cheering expecting Bill Watts
Gorilla: Could it be? Could he have entered himself in the tournament, returning to the ring to try and grab the gold for his country?
Instead, Takayama walks out to jeers, grinning like a cat who has the cream.
Gorilla: “What a Benedict Arnold. He wasn't born in the USA; he can't even ask for change in English!”
Eddie Graham has no chance seemingly at first. His offense only stuns Takayama for the most part, and Takayama arrogantly lets him hit moves that are not very effective, until he nails Takayama with a perfect punch and Takayama goes down seemingly out cold from how he goes down.
Gorilla: “The former state power lifting champion apparently has knocked him completely out!”
Graham comes off the ropes for a knee drop, and Takayama still seems out cold as Graham goes for the pin. Takayama barely kicks out before 3. Signs of Eddie’s old personality come out as he yells at the ref viciously about a slow count. Takayama stumbles up…Eddie goes for another punch and it gets blocked, and Takayama connects with a punch of his own, then a huge suplex variant, and another, before hitting the huge Everest suplex for a 3 count.
Gorilla “3, or 33, this one is over. Bobby never did make it back after the interview with his tag team champions; maybe he got lost somewhere. If only we could be so lucky. We are out of time for this week fans! -in the ring it is Takayama apparently considering once again attacking a fallen opponent- Gorilla Monsoon for Bobby Heenan, saying so long everybody.”
