NWA Championship Wrestling May 2, 2020, Saturday TV Taping
Before the show officially begins, we kick off with the following from last Sunday night Pay-Per-View Spring Shock from the Forum in Los Angeles, California. NWA World's Heavyweight Title Match. (Champion): 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper lost the belt to (Challenger): Nick Bockwinkel when a masked man dressed like a ninja attacked the champion when he had his version of the sleeper on the challenger. (27:01). The unpire was knocked down before the ninja entered the ring & left before the official recovered. Nick had Roddy out to become the new champion. A dazed Piper argued with the official & Nick after the decision. Seconds before, the official was knocked down & did not see what transpired with the Ninja entering the ring. (Meanwhile, Bockwinkel is pleading with Piper he had no part in this). The Ninja then voluntarily takes off the hood to reveal 'Living Legend' Larry Zbyszko as we fade to...
Our announcing team of Gordon Solie & Joey Styles in front of the huge NWA Logo for the new episode of NWA Championship Wrestling. Gordon & Joey welcome the fans NWA Chamionship Wrestling. Gordon & Joey say the NWA has a new World's Heavyweight Champion in Nick Bockwinkel in one of the most unusual title changes ever in the NWA. They are joined by Commissioner Jim Barnett. Barnett admits that he is not totally clear of what transpired last Sunday night. So he requested the head of the Dillon Dynasty, James J. Dillon to come out & explain to the world what happened. Dillon is out with his Dynasty -- newest member Nick Bockwinkel, 'Nature Boy' Buddy Rogers, Tully Blanchard & Greg 'the Hammer' Valentine. Barnett asks the following rest of the video be shown from last Sunday's main event.
The Ninja voluntarily takes off his hood to 'reveal 'Living Legend' Larry Zbyszko who admits he was the one who attacked Piper weeks ago & was paid well for it. Dillon comes to the ring with the Dynasty members Buddy Rogers, Tully Blanchard & Greg Valentine. Now Roddy & Nick are on guard for a fight. J.J. takes the mike & tells Piper this is his reward for refusing to sign with the Dynasty weeks ago when he had the chance. And Dillon admits that Bockwinkel was not in on it. However, JJ then tells Zbyszko he has not further need for him & he is terminated. Larry is stunned! Dillon then offers the open position to the new NWA World's Heavyweight Champion Nick Bockwinkel. Piper has thrown up his hands & left the ring. Nick walks over to JJ & the Dynasty & SHAKES HANDS WITH THEM. Dillon has the World's Heavyweight Champion in his stable. Larry is disgusted & walks back to the dressing room.
Back in the studio, J..J. says Zbyszko has he served his purpose It was his plan all along to attack Piper who refused to sign with the Dynasty when he held the belt. We wanted Riper to think it was Bockwinkel behind it to soften him up fr the title match. JJ says his brillant plan came full circule last Sunday night. Barnett asks Nick if he had any prior knowledge to it. The new World's Heavyweight Champions admits he did not he was as surprised as Roddy Piper was. But when Mr. Dillon made him the offer after firing Zbyszko, he had to accept, admits Nick. The Commissioner reluctantly says the decision stands. But Barnett reminds Dillon & his Dynasty, that Roddy Piper & Larry Zbyszko will be coming after them. JJ adds that they will be more concerned about doing away with each other then coming after us. JJ adds that Rogers, Blanchard & Valentine are all looking to bring home the gold to his organization. They issue an open challenge to the World's Tag Team Champions Miracle Violence as well as the United States Heavyweight Chamipon 'Bruiser' Brody to put their belts up against them.
Gordon & Joey agree what happened as wild as it will be today when Piper faces Zbyszko in today's main event. It is going to be a brawl.
