We don't want weird looking people in this company anymore! Jizo, surrender yourself to us. Surrender yourself to Painkiller's skilled hands. However, a small note: if you can't get up from the operating table, we are not responsible.”

AWA World Tag Team Titles: Ricky Steamboat and Jerry Lawler
Diamond Dallas Page defeated Perry Saturn in 5:50 DDP pinned Saturn with The Diamond Cutter. DDP once again appeared in the match with the "I HATE UK ATHLETES" T-shirt. Pro UK (Dynamite Kid and Dave Taylor) (w/Jeannie Clark) defeated Marcus Bagwell and Sean Morley in 7:08 Taylor pinned Bagwell with Bridging Fallaway Slam. We witnessed the debut match of Pro UK, the team formed by Dynamite and Taylor. Also, Taylor's girlfriend, Jeannie Clark, was in the ring side as manager. After DDP's intervention in the match last night, it was a matter of curiosity what the response of these two would be.
Dr. Painkiller (w/Tim Runnel) defeated Nikita Koloff in 11:42
Painkiller pinned Nikita with a Powerslam after Tim Runnel interfered. Before the match, Runnel took the microphone and called Jizo. They set up another appointment for him at Painkiller's clinic. They said they would apply a "very special treatment".
NOTES 📌 At the opening of the show, we watched the advertisement of Rage in a Cage PPV, which will be held in April. The participation matches for the Cage of Hellhole match that will be held at this PPV next week will begin. Also, the concept of the Cage of Hellhole match has changed, announced by AWA president Frank Reed himself. According to the new concept, it was decided to hold the match as 10 Man Battle Royal. The rule that the talents throw them into the bottomless "Hellhole" pit in the middle of the ring to eliminate each other has not changed.
📌 Jesse Ventura and Red Hook Machine cut a promo in the ring. At the Canadian Grand Prix show, after Red Hook's defeat of von Raschke, they taunted Sid, who appeared in the entrance to intimidate them with a stern look: "If you have a problem, come right now and say it to our faces." However, no one comes.
📌 We learned that Phil LaFon, who won the Canadian Battle Royal at the Canadian Grand Prix with the help of Paul Ellering, joined the Racket Club.
📌 Tully Blanchard is back after months! A sketch series called “Star Review” prepared and presented by him started with this show. The subject of the first episode was Owen Hart, who took over the AWA International Television title in his hometown last night. Examining key moments from the match, Tully liked Owen's style. But he didn't appreciate it, stating that he sensed a "Canadian smugness" just like the rest of his family. He also did not congratulate him on his championship. It didn't mean anything to him.
📌 We learned that Larry Zbyszko will be back next week.
📌 At the end of the show, Ventura and Red Hook duo, who were preparing to leave the building in their limousines in the parking lot, as usual, encountered an unexpected sight when they opened the car door. Sid, who came out of the car, took the Red Hook in the car with a quick move, started to beat and closed the door. The show ended as the car sped away and Ventura chased after them.

Cage of Hellhole Participation Match | Larry Zbyszko defeated Leif Cassidy in 6:43Zbyszko submitted Cassidy with LarryLand Dreamer. Zbyszko returned to AWA after a break of several months. It got a good reaction from the audience. With this match, the Cage of Hellhole participation matches started.

Cage of Hellhole Participation Match | Ricky Steamboat (w/Jerry Lawler) defeated Doug Furnas (w/Paul Ellering) in 10:08 Steamboat pinned Furnas with Diving Crossbody. Steamboat was incredibly happy after the match. He said that he took the first step in the process of regaining the AWA World championship. However, during this post-match interview, Butch Reed and Sandoval appeared at the entrance and wanted to attack the duo. Steamboat and Lawler successfully repulsed the attack. This Wednesday there will be an AWA World Tag Team match at Taboo Hour!
NOTES 📌 At the show's opening, Rick Rude and Jesse Ventura appealed to Sid to urgently bring in their missing rookie, Red Hook Machine. Rude was particularly angry, saying that he was ashamed that his limousines had been used in this incident. Unable to stop himself, he challenged Sid.
📌 Eric Bischoff, who started the Rental Killers investigations with a special assignment given to him by Frank Reed last week, made his first interview with Brian Pillman. At one point, the interview turned into Pillman's promo as Bischoff tried to learn critical information about who was behind the Rental Killers: "Once that person shows up, no one is going to take him away from me. Neither you nor any authority of this company. No one! Never without experiencing Pillman's wrath!”
📌 DDP responded to the Pro UK (Dynamite / Taylor) that challenged him at the Taboo Hour show. He accepted their challenge. “Dave Taylor, I have friends too. No matter how disgraceful you are with that stray dog next to you, I will not face you alone. I will bring someone as important as me from Hollywood as my teammate!”
📌 At the show's close, the cameras quickly returned to the parking lot as happened last week. Unorthodox Cirice's limousine is left in the parking lot. When Rude and Ventura got there and opened the trunk, they found Red Hook with his legs tied and gagged. Red Hook, which looks like a package, also has a note on it: "See you in Gauntlet 8."

I forgot Mr. T was part of your AWA and the commentary team!
The "Cage of Hellhole" is funny! Reminds of something that would have been in wrestling in The Simpson's universe.
I wish DDP would form the Jersey Triad with Kanyon and Bam Bam Bigelow.
