Survivor is off to the right of the ring , playing Sweet Home Chicago . Joe Pedicino walks down the isle and takes the center of the ring . Then Gordon Solie comes out and he joins Joe in the ring .
Joe : Hello Chicago !!!! Hello World !!!!
Fans : Hi Joe !!!!
Joe : That’s Survivor ! I’m Joe Pedicino and with me the man who needs no introduction , the Dean of Wrestling, Gordon Solie !!!!
Fans : Solie , Solie , Solie !!!!!!
Gordon : Well , hello !!!! Hey let’s not wait any longer , ladies and gentlemen it is our honor and our privilege to introduce to you straight from this weekend’s Parade of Champions , the IWA World Heavyweight Champion !!! The Incredible Hulk Hogan!!!!
Survivor now , goes into Eye of the Tiger and Hulk Hogan who always brings that energy walks down the aisle pointing and waving to the fans and fist bumping , high fiving and even hugging some kids along the way !!!!
The crowd explodes into a frenzy and as Hogan takes center ring he shakes the hand of Joe and Gordon !!!!
The crowd now chants : The World Champ , The World Champ , The World Champ . Hogan then does wait .... he rips his shirt off and poses and the crowd eats it up !!!!
Gordon gets the crowd to eventually calm after 5 minutes .
He just hands Hogan the mic .
Hogan : So .... this past weekend I did a thing , Brother !!!!!!
Crowd : Hogan , Hogan , Hogan !!!!
Gives Gordon back the mic .
Gordon : I guess you could say that . Congratulations , sir !
Hogan : Thank you , Brother . Now Gordon Solie , let me tell you something dude , I had to go through four of the the best wrestlers on the world to win . And I don’t mind telling you brother , there where times I doubted myself . Kevin Steen damn near killed me on night 1. Then night two hits and Raven , wants a Raven’s rules match and he made me see my own blood , dude .
Then that big and bad Brock Lesnar beat me pillar to post , busting me open again , brother and giving me an F 5 , that was heard round the world and as I laid there on the mat , helpless and immobile , my body telling me to quit , I felt the power of all my Hulkamanics and before that ref’s hand came down for 3 , dude , I kicked out !!!! Then had to go old school and use a school boy roll up .
And then Kurt Angle . Who might be the baddest and best walking this planet , dude !!! Brother , he gave me a wrestling lesson . I was out classed and out mastered . And when he locked me in that Angle Lock , I could feel it all slipping away and then all my little Hulksters out there , I could feel their tears , but could also feel them believing in the power of Hulkamania , and as Kurt , was ripping and tearing , I felt it too Gordon and I fought to keep the dream alive brother , and then got lucky with my Python Lock and got it locked in and well , here is the proof , dude !!!!! ( holds up the belt )
Crowd : Hogan , Hogan , Hogan !!!!
Gordon : Well we have a lot to get to tonight . In fact , in honor of this sir , Showtime has given us a rare 3 hour time slot tonight . But before we go any further , I wanted to ask you about that new hold you developed. The Python Lock .
Hogan : Gordon Solie , years ago before the dark ages , I worked right here in Chicago for Big Time Pro Wrestling . I became good friends with one of the house doctors , Wes Champion . So , when I found out I was going to be one of two representatives for Windy City, I knew I needed more in my arsenal besides the old tried and true Axe Bomber and the leg drop , brother .
So I called the doc and started talking about joint manipulation and pressure points . And Doctor Wes told me that since I had the largest arms in the world , I should try and use an Anaconda Vice . But make it my own . So the doc and I worked on it and I still couldn’t get it quite right . The doc placed a call and flew in Billy Robinson .
And let me tell you something about Billy Robinson , it’s a damn good thing he’s wrestling independents over in England . Because brother , if he were here in the states and be in this tourney ,everyone would be worried . So Doc and Billy worked with me and we developed the Python Lock !!! And the power of Hulkamania was reborn . Now CM Punk is waking around with shell of a version that used to be called the UWF World Heavyweight Title, and seems to think I stole the Python Lock from him .
But CM Punk , listen real good , brother .........
Rick Rude comes out .
Rude : Hold up big man . It seems you got 3,000 pounds of brain damage in that tourney . Last week two days before at Super Clash 1 , I put you down with the Rude Awakening , and if not for the time limit , I would be wearing the Windy City Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Title, but now I look at you and that big shiney belt and I think I want that instead . I know Don Muraco has the next title shot of Parade of Champions on August 28th , but I’m tossing my name in and making it a Triple Threat Match !!!
Muraco comes out !!!
Muraco : Now wait just a second baby !!! I went through everyone in this company to get that title shot . It’s mine and mine alone , but if you want a fight , baby , The Magnificent one is your man . Let’s settle it right now .
Hogan : Hold up brother !!!! Don Muraco , I don’t like you brother , but yes , you earned that shot by yourself . Rick Rude , you want a shot , I’ll give it to you tonight dude in the second hour . This time no time limit and let’s make it no disqualification and no count outs bother , that way you have no excuses .
Rude : You’re a bigger idiot than I thought Hogan . You got your ass handed to you for two days . Your banged up and you fight fight the Ravishing One , you’re on . I’m going to be the World Champ .
Hogan : Rick , before you go bother , I got a question .
Rude : Ok paper champ .
Hogan : Whatcha gonna do brother , when the power of the World Heavyweight Champion ,and all the Hulkamanics and the Python Lock runs wild on you ????
Rude shakes his head and walks away.
Gordon : Well , as I said , we got a lot to ge here tonight and now we have a World Heavyweight Title Match in our second hour !!’ Hulk congratulations again .
Hogan : Thanks Brother .
Gordon : And with that there is wrestling tomorrow night at the Rosemont Horizon. Here is Joe Pedicino to tell you all about it .

Chris Adams vs Ronnie Vegas : Vegas does ok , attacking Adams before he gets off his ring jacket and then slamming his head into the turn buckle . But Adams with a well placed side kick to the gut and then another and then a body slam . Vegas gets to his feet , brutal judo toss by Adams . A tired Vegas staggers up . Superkick !!!! Adams covers 1.... 2 ... 3 !!!
After the match the Great Kabuki appears on the opposite side of the ring . Adams turns around and Kabuki mist him !!!! From there a hook kick to Adams jaw puts him down . Gary Hart now appears and leads his man away from the ring . Joe Pedicino stops Hart and Kabuki before he gets to the exit .
Joe : Gary Hart , what was that all about ?
Hart : Joe, Chris Adams claims for be a great judo champion. Well I have here the true masta in martial arts . The deadly Kabuki . We wanted to teach everyone that there is only one true masta .
Now moving along , once in a life time a plan comes togetha . And Joe, there are men destined for greatness . I have brought those men togetha unda one umbrella . The great Kabuki , This man , They call him the Time Lord . Kushida and finally the mighty Kamala and the beast that is Umaga , a tag team known as Savage Society. I sold Vader’s contract and now have opened the gates of hell . Welcome to the pit of sin , Joe Pedicino .
Joe : Gordon , back to you .
Gordon : Thank you Joe . It looks like dark days are ahead . Right now , I want to bring in the American Dream Dusty Rhodes. Sir , I must say , you look better than the last time I saw you .
Dusty : Gordon Solie, we are live in the Chi , baby !!! Now , let me tell ya a little story . You see back when the Dream was a little guy , he was diggen ditches with his daddy . And one night , his daddy came home , sat at the table and hung his head .
I looked up at him and asked what’s wrong daddy ? The man lifted his head and told me , little Dream , today daddy had a tough day . Daddy lost his job , but tomorrow is a new day son . You see , you keep fightin , you keep living and the dream never dies son .
The next day , daddy woke up took a shower , ate breakfast , looked at the newspaper and headed out the door . He come home and was certified plumber . A blue collar man with a blue collar plan . The Dream didn’t die , baby .
Years later in high school, I was told my 9th grade year , I wasn’t good enough . So I went home and everyday , I pushed myself to get bigger and stronger . The next 3 years , I was the starting tail back and went on to Texas A&M . The Dream didn’t die baby .
After college , I went the opposite way . I played short stop in the minors and then broke my arm . I rehabbed and worked hard and the Dream didn’t die . I went to Minnesota and walked up to a farm house and knocked on the door and Verne Gagne for the next 3 years beat me up , and the Dream didn’t die , baby .
I moved onto the NWA where Iron Anderson and Ted Dibiasie made my life a living hell at every corner of the Mid Atlantic area . But the Dream didn’t die baby .
Joined up with UWF! Signed with BTPW and even after Greg Valentine broke my leg I ended up becoming BTPW Heavyweight Champion . The Dream didn’t die , baby .
Then for the next 7 years . I was locked in a basement and left for dead . The breath left my body and then somehow through the darkness , The IWA came along and the Dream didn’t die baby .
And now Paul Jones and the gentlemen’s club , you turned my student against me . You broke a couple of ribs , but I’m still standing , because the Dream never , ever ever dies , baby . Jackie boy . I’ll see you soon .
Gordon : The American Dream Dusty Rhodes. Right now another debut . Let’s go to the ring .
The Rock N Roll Express vs Johnny Rodz & El Toro : Good match up here . Ricky gets caught in the corner and gets the hell beat out of him , until he gets off a rana on Rodz and gets the tag to Robert , who cleans house . In the end it’s the old tried and true double dropkick in Toro . 1....2.....3 !!!!
Gordon : A great match there , right now we aren’t waisting any time I’m this hour . It’s time for our Showtime Television Title match . Let’s go to the ring .
The Grand Wizard, leads out his new man . The Showtime Television Champion , Big Van Vader . What happens next is a bit of a shock . Bam Bam Bigelow his friend and tag team partner stands across the ring from him . Vader gets nose to nose and then the arguing starts . A headbutt later by Bigelow not only floors Vader , but he’s bleeding !!!
Bam Bam with a Suplex and then a Powerbomb . He goes to the top and comes off with a knee to the head . He covers and gets 1.......2...... Noooooo !!! Vader kicks out !!! Now Bam Bam pulls him up , bud Vader hits him with a brutal clothesline !! And then a Yakuza two handed chop !!! Vader pounds on him with fist and then a leaping corner splash !!! Vader then hits the Vader Bomb and pulls out a very hard fought 1.....2.....3 !!!!
After the match . The two heels talk for a minute and it seems the whole world had gone crazy , because they shake hands and the crowd explodes with this is awesome chants .
Gordon: And with that it’s the end of hour one . Right now let’s look back an the two nights that was Parade of Champions in Los Angelos and we’ll be back with hour two right after the Apter Report .
End Hour 1 !!!
