Sgt. Slaughter - in his AWF debut - beats The Ultimate Destroyer, who cannot recover after a Cobra Clutch and two Slaughter Cannons, by count-out in the second round when The Ultimate Destroyer falls to the mat and lies on the apron under the bottom rope. Slaughter continues to the next round of the AWF Heavyweight Championship tournament. During the match, "Cowboy" Bob Orton Jr. is in the Warrior's Corner, and says that Sir Oliver Humperdink did his job in getting him into the AWF Heavyweight Championship tournament, and that it is now time to do his. Orton then says Johnny Gunn will be shooting blanks when he steps in the ring with him. After the match, the kids celebrate in the ring with Sgt. Slaughter.

Ken Resnick interviews Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, who says that while Tony Atlas is a great wrestler in his own right, "Luscious" Tommy Rich is a man of know-how and brains, which is why Rich is in the Rico Suave family.

Rico Suave shows up with Tommy Rich, and tells Valentine he hit the nail on the head, while Tommy Rich tells Sgt. Slaughter that the kids will not help him when he gets through with him.

After he says that the Sheik is on the same level as Hercules when it comes to being up to no good, The Sheik interrupts the interview, and Santana is attacked from behind by Hercules.
Tito Santana beats Hercules by pinfall in the second round to continue to the semi-finals of the AWF Heavyweight Championship tournament after Hercules accidentally knocks Sheik Adnan Alkahassie off the apron.

American Wrestling Experience - AWF Warriors of Wrestling recap for March 11, 1995
Sgt. Slaughter says Americans have their freedom of choice, and your choice for professional wrestling should be the American Wrestling Federation.
"Gentleman" Chris Adams beats Bobby Bradley by pinfall in the second round. During the match, it is announced by Terry Taylor that he has learned from AWF President Paul Alperstein that the pairings for the AWF Heavyweight Championship tournament have been made, and that the tournament will start next week.
Ken Resnick interviews "Gentleman" Chris Adams, who talks about the round system again and that the AWF has everything has he wants: real wrestling, real wrestlers and the round system. He knows his work is cut out for him, and hopes he is in the AWF Heavyweight Championship Tournament.
Johnny Gunn beats Jimie V. by pinfall in the first round.
Ken Resnick interviews Sheik Adnan Alkahassie and Hercules. He refuses to say if he has paid Hercules' fine yet, and wants to know if Hercules is in the AWF Heavyweight Championship tournament. They are not happy when told that the names have to be drawl out of a barrel by AWF President Paul Alperstein. The Sheik says there is now way Hercules is in the tournament as the AWF are scared he will the win the title. The Sheik then goes on to say that if he does go on to win the title, Hercules will make him happy and he will pay Hercules a lot of money.
Gret "The Hammer" Valentine beats Ronnie Vegas with the Figure Four Leg Lock in the second round. During the match, The Warlord is seen in the Warriors Corner, saying that he knows there is a tournament and wants to be in it, as he will become the champion and everyone will see what he's all about. After the match, Valentine refuses to release the hold for a few seconds after the bell rings.
Ken Resnick interviews "Luscious" Tommy Rich, saying that when you have a brain like Rico Suave's and two wrestling machines like him and Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, things have to go your way. He knows about the tournament drawing, and says Rico has a lot of scratch and that he and Valentine will be in the tournament - a statement that Ken Resnick thinks implies that they want to bribe AWF President Paul Alperstein to enter the tournament. Rico Suave and Valentine show up, and Rico Suave says he'll be upset if one of his two men doesn't make it into the tournament. When hearing that the AWF Heavyweight Championship will be 12 rounds, Valentine says that's fine by him as he likes long matches and thrives on competition. He says the match he just had was a warm-up, and that Ronnie Vegas wasn't even in his caliber. He says that nobody wants to be in the Figure Four Leg Lock, as he is the only one with a key and he is the key to winning this tournament.
"Cowboy" Bob Orton Jr. beats Billy Jo Eaton by pinfall in the first round.
Ken Resnick interviews AWF President Paul Alperstein, who draws the pairings for the AWF Heavyweight Championship tournament from a tumbler. He says that he took a look at the top 50 wrestlers in the world, and asked them if they would sign a contract to take part in the tournament, which they did, and now has the top 16 ready to select. Here are the pairings: Hercules will face Tito Santana, Hurricane Smith will face "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka, "Luscious" Tommy Rich will face Tony Atlas, Sgt. Slaughter will face The Ultimate Destroyer, Koko B. Ware will face Nails (whose fines have been paid, but whose rule-breaking actions will not be tolerated), Johnny Gunn will face "Cowboy" Bob Orton Jr., The Warlord will face "Gentleman" Chris Adams, and Jimi Powers will face Greg "The Hammer" Valentine. Sheik Adnan Alkahassie then shows up, angry that Mr. Hughes was not in the tournament. Alperstein tells the Sheik that Mr. Hughes' name was not in the box because he did not pay his $3,000 fine, much to Mr. Hughes' chagrin. Alperstein tells him that if he pays the fine, he will be the first alternate in the tournament. Should any man in the tournament not be able to wrestle, Mr. Hughes can immediately take their spot. The Sheik tells Alperstein "We'll see about that."
Before Hurricane Smith faces "Hawkeye" Cody Hunter, Sheik Adnan Alkahassie motions Hunter and offers him so much money he won't have to wrestle again. Hunter takes the money, and Mr. Hughes, who shows up with the Sheik, blindsides Hunter so he can take Hunter's place in the match.
Mr. Hughes quickly beats Hurricane Smith, then Sheik Adnan Alkahassie keeps the referee busy so that Mr. Hughes can injure Hurricane Smith with a top rope knee drop to the eye socket and a sidewalk slam to the concrete floor outside of the ring as part of a plan to force himself into the AWF Heavyweight Championship tournament. Referees check on Hurricane Smith outside of the ring, and Hurricane Smith has to be taken away on a stretcher.
It is announced that Hurricane Smith has a concussion and two or three cracked ribs on his left side, and that he will be replaced in the AWF Heavyweight Championship by Mr. Hughes.

Sgt. Slaughter says Americans have their freedom of choice, and your choice for professional wrestling should be the American Wrestling Federation.

During the match, it is announced that the rules - which will be obeyed - are as follows: Matches consist of four one-minute rounds, with tossing opponents over the top rope as well as putting one's hands on the referee both grounds for automatic disqualification. The In case the match goes the distance, the referee's decision is final.
Ken Resnick interviews Tito Santana, who says he is feeling good about the AWF in general. He says you have to know how to wrestle to make it in the AWF, and he knows how to wrestle.

Greg "The Hammer" Valentine - managed by Rico Suave - beats Billy Joe Eaton with the Figure Four Leg Lock in the first round. During the match, we hear from "Gentleman" Chris Adams in the Warriors Corner, who calls AWF the alternative wrestling federation for having rounds much like European wrestling. He says he'll be here next week. Also, a girl is seen with a computer, and Rico Suave is seen talking on his cellular phone.

Johnny Gunn is also seen in the Warriors Corner during the second round, saying he will be here next week to housequake the nation.
Ken Resnick interviews AWF president Paul Alperstein, who created AWF after being a wrestling fan for many years and seeing the industry change dramatically, which led him to want to bring the sport back to its roots. He says the rules will be enforced and followed. There will be no throwing over the top rope or touching the referees, and there will be a break at the ten-count. As for the round system, he wanted to create a system unique to the business that the fans would want to see. He looks to run shows in arenas not only in the United States, but in foreign countries around the world.
Rick Thunder beats Nailz (now going by "Nails" with an "s") in the first round by disqualification after Nails hits Thunder with a wooden stool and a steel chair before choking him with a camera cord. Another referee has to foll
Ken Resnick interviews Sir Oliver Humperdink, who says he didn't succeed by being a slouch and knows good things are happening in AWF. He says people are unhappy to see him, but he's going to be around for a long time, and says he has come with a tag team from the state of Texas, whom he says are at the pinnacle of tag team success: Killer and Psycho, the Texas Hangmen. Psycho says they are the biggest, baddest pieces of meet to come out of Texas, and they're here to beat people up. Killer dares the competition to step into the war zone.
Sgt. Slaughter hands out miniature American flags to the fans in the front row before the next match.

Ken Resnick interviews Sgt. Slaughter, who says it's great to be in the AWF where they brought the rules and regulations back, and thanks Paul Alperstein for making it possible. He praises the round system, then says he will put down everyone who faces him in the American Wrestling Federation.
Koko B. Ware beats Bobby Bradler by pinfall in the second round. During the second round, Mr. Hughes is in the Warriors Corner, and he promises that whoever gets in his face next week will go down for the last time to the sidewalk slam.
Ken Resnick interviews Rico Suave, who says that he has some of the best wrestlers in the ring. He acknowledges the girl with the computer in the ring earlier in the show, and that her computer brought up three names who will take the Suave family to the top, one of which is Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, who says that all you have to do with the computer is type in "greatness," and then you have him, who is synonymous with greatness and everything about true wrestling. He says he is the master of the Figure Four Leg Lock, which will take the Suave family to the top.
