Joey Styles: Welcome to PW USA Pro Wrestling TV, we are in East Rutherford, New Jersey at The Meadowlands. I'm Joey Styles alongside Jesse 'The Body' Ventura. At this time I'd like to introduce the new Global Heavyweight Champions.. 'NATURE BOY' RIC FLAIR!

The camera shows the entrance way as '2001 Space Odyssey' hits the arena and through the curtain walk The Revolution stable . Steven Regal, Mr Perfect and Arn Anderson all in their ring gear leading them to the ring though is Ric Flair wearing an expensive looking suit and sunglasses. Arn Anderson holds the middle rope down for Flair to step through the ropes as Perfect slides into the ring and Regal hops up onto apron wipes his feet and steps through the ropes.

Joey Styles: Ric Flair last night you proved to the world, nay the globe that you are the best wrestler alive today it must be a great feeling..

Steven Regal: Joey Styles you can try and jump on our band wagon after your slanderous comments of the past five weeks!

Mr Perfect: You know what my problem is Mr Regal, is that we four are great and we know it. You know what makes the difference between us and the rest of the PW USA roster?

Arn Anderson: What makes us different is the belt Mr Regal wears and the belt my best friend in the world Ric Flair wears. So tonight Perfect and I are going to rectify our end of the deal and become no.1 contenders for the tag team title.

Ric Flair: We have the best wrestler on Television today in Steven Regal, we have the best wrestler in the world today ME! WHOOOOOOO! Come Halloween Hell will prove to everyone we have the best tag team in the world today... Mr Perfect and Arn Anderson.

Jesse 'The Body' Ventura: That's what I love...

At this point Ventura is cut off by Dustin Rhodes and Barry Windhamn making their way to the ring...

Joey Styles: Well Windham and Rhodes are...

Barry Windham: Sorry to cut you off Joey but I have a grievance with what has just been said. It's not that long ago that the symbol of excellence in this business was...

Barry Windham holds up the four fingers of the Four Horsemen

Arn Anderson: What you seem to forget Windham is Flair and I move with the times we left you and others in our dust. The symbol of excellence is where 'The Nature Boy' and 'Double A' put their mark....

With this last comment Anderson nails Windham with a left hand as Mr Perfect jumps Dustin Rhodes... Ventura and Styles bail from the ring. Flair starts helping Anderson work over Windham, while Regal and Perfect work over Rhodes... All of a sudden The Rockers hit the ring followed by The Miracle Violence Combination. The ring is over run with bodies brawling and flying all over the place before The Revolution bail to the floor...
