Frank Gresham is in the back waiting to interview a new tag team, The Orient Express. The normally unflappable interviewer seems momentarily at a loss for words when the two men come on set for their interview and are decidedly not Asian. "Luscious" Louis Dupre chastises Gresham for being a "stupid American who doesn't know about the greatest railroad in world history!" Dupre is from Paris and his partner, "Magnificent" Mehmet Suleiman, is from Istanbul. Suleiman yells something in Turkish. Hanoi Xan joins the interview and states that The Orient Express are under his management. It's all part of his master plan for world domination, he says with a sinister laugh.

He explains Bearden isn't here, having been pulled over and arrested on the way to the arena! Porkchop couldn't help arrange bail in time for the show. He says the charges are bull***t and he's sure he knows who's behind this: Stan Trump! "The Star-Spangled Banner" plays and out comes Brett Hale. He loves America, but recognizes the justice system sometimes makes mistakes especially when the rich and powerful manipulate it. He agrees to team with Porkchop tongiht

Backstage interview with Eddie Bearden and Porkchop Jones. Bearden says he was pulled over by a police officer for a broken tail light...in broad daylight!

Rating: DUD
Post-match, Frank Gresham interviews The Supernauts. They're proud to be tag champs once again. The Southern Maulers interrupt. They respect The Supernauts and they know Dreadnaut and Huguenaut both love America, but at Great American Bash the foreigners need to put the tag titles on the line against the best American tag team of 1985. Dreadnaut can't think of another team that deserves the shot more than the Maulers. The two teams share tense handshakes.

Isileli Kaelo pinned Ollie Johnson with the Kick of Fear in 0:00:14.
Rating: 3/4*
This was Kaelo's first appearance since Wrestlemania. He stormed down to the ring, not even waiting for Stan Trump, and immediately destroyed poor Ollie with a flurry of blows and a massive kick. With the match won, The Tongan Terror continued to abuse the poor jobber until the referee threatened to reverse the decision to a disqualification. Kaelo backed the official into a corner, but when things looked like they were going to get ugly the Tongan simply left the ring. Frank Gresham rushed to get a word in, only to be screamed at in Tongan. Stan Trump, looking a bit rattled by his muscle being out of his control, confirmed Isileli Kaelo will face The Jolly Green Giant at Great American Bash.

Frank Gresham interviews Stroker Ace backstage. Ace admits his arm still hurts from Wally Richter crushing it a few weeks ago. However, where he comes from, men don't back down from challenges, no mater what. Stroker may not be 100%, but a wounded animal can be the most dangerous kind. He can still hit the Ace Crusher from anywhere with his one good arm.

Bulk Logan pinned Stroker Ace with the Blockbuster in 0:08:59.
Rating: -3/4*
(Bulk Logan retained the WCWF World Heavyweight Title.)
Logan came out for this match his usual arrogant self, title belt air guitar and all. Bulk went after Stroker's bad arm from the opening bell. Nevertheless, Stroker managed to duck the big boot and deliver an Ace Crusher, but land on his bad arm. He was slow to make the cover and Logan was able to kick out. When Logan hit his fallaway slam, Stroker again came down on his bad arm and was in too much pain to kick out.
