Gordon : Hello and welcome to this special edition of Road To Survivor Series . I’m Gordon Solie and with me from Big Time Wrestling is Sam Menekar. Sam first congratulations on Big Time Wrestling winning the bid to host Survivor Series and thank you for including your sister company AWA in this historic 4 week television event .
Sam : Gordon , thank you and it’s our pleasure . Bob Luce has a great line up . Let’s get things started with that big Survivor Series match up .
Ray Stevens, The Destroyer , Kabuki and Nick Bockwinkle vs The Armstrongs, Wahoo McDaniel and Mr . Wrestling 2 : Stevens and Wahoo can’t wait to get their hands on one another . Fist are flying , choking each other , biting one another . They exchange low blows . The ref tries to keep order but they both shove him down . The ref tosses out both men .
Gordon : No surprise here , Stevens and Wahoo have both been disqualified.
Sam : Gordon , you can feel the heat off those two men .
Mr . Wrestling 2 and Destroyer hit the ring . Destroyer turns Two’s mask sideways and then whales on him . He tosses him out on the floor and hits a DDT . Two can’t make it in before the count of 10 .
Gordon Solie: Well, now Mr . Wrestling 2 is counted out .
Sam : It’s a 3 on 2 advantage .
While Destroyer is celebrating, Brad comes in and victory rolls him from behind for a fast 1…..2…..3 !
Gordon : The Destroyer is gone quickly .
Sam : Brad Armstrong was brilliant there .
Kabuki comes in and chops the hell out of Brad and puts him down with a spinning back kick to the gut . Kabuki tags Bockwinkle, who works an abdominal stretch . Brad counters with a hip toss and tags in Bob .
Bob comes out firing . Big bodyslam on Bockwinkle. Dropkick by Bob . Kabuki chops him from behind. Bockwinkle hits a backdrop and then works a Figure Four. Bob refuses to quit . Brad tosses in the towel to save his father .
Gordon: Bob Armstrong is eliminated.
Sam : Oh poor Brad . He has to feel so bad .
Kabuki and Bockwinkle now dissect Brad . He is completely worn down and passes out in Bockwinkle’s Sleeper .
Gordon: That’s all she wrote .
Sam : Brad put up a hell of a fight , but Bockwinkle and Kubuki are too much for anybody .
Gordon : As many of you know , Dusty Rhodes was attacked two weeks ago by Babydoll Enterprises . He is currently convalescing at home . We have these pre recorded comments from The American Dream Dusty Rhodes that was sent to Global Force Wrestling.
Dusty : You know sometimes, you can be on top of the world and then all off a sudden , life throws you a curve ball , daddy and you are down in the gutter . My daddy was a plumber and we survived pay check to pay check , then one day , daddy came home and told us the place where he worked was closing .
My mama and all us little babies wondered what we was gonna do . Daddy took my mama in his arms and he told her today is a bad , but tomorrow the sun will rise and things will get a little better . Sure enough as daddy said , the sun came up , daddy went to town and got him another job . A better paying job and low and behold the American family , bought their first brand new off the line Ford pick up , little by little there was small gains .
Jeff Cobb, The Dynasty whatever your leader’s name is and Miss Piggy herself , you all tried to take food off the Dream’s table . Last week baby , was a bad day , but the Dream has had by days before . When HHH and Evolution put the Dream on a shelf and Kerry Von Erich walked around with a title I never lost , that was a bad day . When I won the WCW Title and lost it the very next day , that was a bad day .
But what happened, the sun came up , Dusty Rhodes went to Chicago and became the American Television Champion . After Evolution put The Dream on the shelf , the sun came up and the Dream beat HHH and became the Windy City Champion . Then Windy City closed , that was a bad day . Then what happened , AWA started , the Dream in front of 25,000 in Madison Square Garden, beat Harley Race and became AWA Heavyweight Champion .
So Jeff Cobb , The Dynasty , Miss Piggy , the sun is setting . Next week the Dream returns . The only man in wrestling with two heavyweight titles, is coming back to Sweet Home Chicago and the hunt will begin and all of you will find out , that you have bad days too .
Now onto the week after The Dream will head to the United Center. He will look across at the IWA World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair and the Dream will once again , put the bad days behind and will become the World Heavyweight Champion and then we gonna party on Rush Street and get funky like monkey baby ! Ric Flair , see you soon baby . And to quote wooo !!!!
