Dutch Savage: Here with me is a newcomer to the Portland area and his name is "Cowboy" Scott Casey. Welcome to Portland Scott.
Casey: Thanks Dutch, it's a pleasure to be here. My good friend Jay Youngblood said that the people up here are very hospitabilitable. I want to ply my trade up here after spending years in the Southwest and I promise to do my best for the fans up here in Portland! I'm also up here because there's a man who I've battled in the past by the name of Bobby Jaggers, who I just want to say "hi" to.

Vignette: There's a blond headed man about 6'7" weighing about 320lbs being shot from the back. Then there is some highlights from the SEC Conference and the Georgia Bulldogs being shown. After about 1 minute of football highlights, the words "He's Coming" appear on the screen and the picture fades to black.
Match 1: Don Kernodle vs. Pat Rose. Kernodle takes control with a side headlock and then works on the neck of Rose. Rose isn't really given much offense here as Kernodle is made to look like a Million bucks. Finish comes after Kernodle whips Rose into the far ropes and gives him a Lariat and then applies the Cobra Clutch for the submission.
Winner: Don Kernodle in 6:17 by submission.
Dutch Savage: Here is a man who needs no introduction to those on the West Coast. Here is the man they call "Maniac" Mark Lewin. Welcome to the studio, Mark.
Lewin: Stares at Savage and mumbles the words, " I can see the future and the future doesn't have a happy ending and then walks off stage.

Match 2: The Cuban Assassin (Fidel Sierra) vs. Kelly Kiniski
The Assassin attacks Kiniski before the bell and throws him to the floor. He batters Kiniski with punches and kicks. After Kiniski makes it back to the ring, the onslaught continues until the Assassin gives Kiniski a neck breaker and sets him up and nails him with a pile driver. He goes for the cover, but picks him up after 2. The Assassin then gives Kiniski a short-arm clothesline, but holds on to him, so he can't go to the canvas. He then applies the Sleeper hold and put Kiniski to sleep for the win.
Winner by submission in 5:48, The Cuban Assassin.
Dutch Savage: We are waiting for the Cuban Assassin to come over after his match to get a few words. Impressive win there.
Cuban Assassin: All the Americans are weak and I'm here to destroy them all. I saw that Marine, Kernodle out here and he will fall like everyone else. That is all I need to tell you.

Koko gets a great ovation and Savage mentions that he ran Tom Pritchard out of the area. They lock up and here they go. It's a back and forth match until Koko gets the advantage when he ducks an elbow and hits a dropkick, right into the teeth of Rodz. It's all Ware after that as Koko hits a beautiful suplex and then hits Rodz with a headbutt, before putting Rodz away with a brain buster for the win. Impressive showing for Koko!

Match 4: PNW Tag Team Champions: "Hangman" Bobby Jaggers & "Flamboyant" Eric Embry (With Captain Lou Albano) vs. Marty Jannetty & Mike Jackson
The crowd is really laying into the Tag team champs as they parade around the ring with the belts. After a minute or 2 of stalling, Jaggers goes to the outside and it's Embry & Jackson to start the match. Embry is in control from the beginning as he is really laying a pounding onto Jackson. After a few tags, Jaggers throws Jackson over to the corner to tag Jannetty in. Jaggers is cocky at first, but his mood changes when Jannetty hits him with a punch to the right eye. This gets Jaggers blood boiling, but Jannetty is able to control Jaggers with a series of dropkicks and Jagger rolls out to the floor. Albano/Jaggers/Embry have a little meeting as the fans are loving the debut of Jannetty so far. Albano is yelling at the crowd to shut-up and Embry whispers at little something, something into Jaggers ear. Jaggers gets back into the ring and sticks his hand out in a sign of friendship, but Jannetty doesn't fall for it and takes Jaggers down with a hammerlock. After 45 seconds in the hammerlock, Jaggers is able to reach the ropes for the break. The Hangman tags in Embry who just charges Jannetty like a wild bull, but Jannetty scoots to the side and Embry falls to the mat. The crowd is in an uproar as Embry looks foolish and is now turning beat Red. Jaggers tries t jump into the ring, which Jannetty notices and hits Jaggers with an elbow to the chest. Jannetty howver, can't move away from a determined Embry again, as Embry gives Jannetty a forearm smash to the back to the neck. Jannetty crumbles to the mat and in comes Jaggers. Jaggers and Embry start to lay a whipping onto Jannetty for the next 5 minutes, as they work on the neck of the youngster. Jannetty appears to be helpless and can't defend himself. Mike Jackson tries to jump into the ring, but Embry cuts him off with a knee to the stomach and then proceeds to toss him out of the ring. Jaggers has Jannetty up for a suplex and goes for the cover, but picks him up after the count of 1. Jaggers yells out that this kid will pay for trying to embarrass us and then he tags Embry, who goes to the top rope and they give the kid a spike piledriver. Embry goes for the cover, 1...2...Embry stops the count by picking Jannetty up by the hair. He is laughing at the crowd and shoves the referee away. Embry this time picks Jannetty up once again and delivers a vicious "Texas" Piledriver and goes for the cover,1.....2......3.......
Winners via pin fall in 17:38, "Hangman" Bobby Jaggers & "Flamboyant" Eric Embry
After the match, the action isn't over. Embry waves to Albano as Jaggers gets into the ring. Jaggers throws Mike Jackson over the top rope and Albano sides in a chair. Embry throws the referee to the outside as Albano makes the gesture of a plie driver. They move a lifeless Jannetty into position, setting the chair right behind Embry. Jaggers starts to climb to the top rope and they deliver a spike pile driver to the young kid. He appears to be out cold now as Kelly Kiniski & Pat Rose hit the ring to help out Jannetty. They are both tossed out of the ring and this time, it's Embry heading to the top. Embry is ready to leap down and push the neck of Jannetty onto the chair once again, until "Cowboy" Scott Casey comes out welding a 2X4 and starts swinging. He knocks Embry off to the floor and then nails Jaggers across the forehead with the lumber. The crowd is going nuts and Albano is freaking out on the concrete. The champs are down and it's time to go...
