Speaking of debuts, Alpha Bravo made his return to WCWF at the recent MSG Show and here makes his nationally-televised return. Bravo did a lot of posing before and after the match. He easily put away some enhancement talent with his finisher where he delivers a side slam while spinning around.

Joe Dean prevented further interference by Xan, taking him to the floor and locking him in the Ignition Submission. With The Syndicate's plans foiled, Richter didn't know what to do and got rolled up. Hecker and Dean didn't have long to celebrate before The Orient Express hit the ring and chased them off. Suleman

[Bulk Logan interfered against Eddie Bearden.]
Hanoi Xan and The Orient Express were at ringside watching to see who they would face at the PPV. They didn't actually get involved, but teased doing so several times. This served as an ongoing distraction for both teams. Bulk Logan took advantage, coming to ringside and pulling Eddie Bearden off the apron then throwing him back-first into the ringpost and taking him out of the match. As soon as the match was over, The Orient Express attacked High Energy while Jones checked on his partner. Bearden remained down a suspiciously long time and Jones signalled for help as the show went off the air.
Eddie Bearden suffered a back injury. He will be out for approximately 2 months.
The announcers open by recapping the conclusion of last week's show. Bad News not only lost a chance to face The Orient Express for the World Tag Titles at The Wrestling Classic PPV, but Eddie Bearden was injured so there's no chance he will be the one to get the shot at Bulk Logan's World Heavyweight Title on the PPV either. An annoucement is expected later tonight about the status of the title match.

Frank Gresham interviews Commissioner Pedro Gonzalez. He explains the WCWF Board of Directors is in a difficult position. Bulk Logan needs to defend the World Heavyweight Title and, with Eddie Bearden having made a reasonable challenge, they were going to force Logan to face him whether he wanted to or not. The Board and the fans certainly think Bearden is a worthy contender, even if Logan does not. There are several others who might be granted a title shot instead, but they are already booked in the US Title tournament. Gresham suggests the recently returned Alpha Bravo, but Gonazlez points out Logan beat Bravo at the World Cup of Wrestling earlier this year to unify the Canadian Heavyweight Title with the WCWF World Heavyweight Title. "Big In Japan" plays and The Jolly Green Giant walks onto the interview set. Jolly says he has never asked for a title shot because he was more concerned about entertaining children, both in the USA and Japan. However, he thinks Bulk Logan as champion sets a very bad example for children and wants to put an end to his title reign. Commissioner Gonazlez says that The Jolly Green Giant has never been pinned or submitted in more than a decade in WCWF so he's entitled to any open title shot he wants.
