American Wrestling Experience - AWF Warriors of Wrestling recap for March 25, 1995

Mr. Hughes quickly beats The Superfly in the first round to continue to the semi-finals of the AWF Championship semi-finals.

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 Sgt. Slaughter, who says that when the Cobra Clutch is locked in, nobody gets out. He doesn't know who to look forward to more in the next round between either "Luscious" Tommy Rich or Tony Atlas, but he will take on either man.

"Luscious" Tommy Rich beats "Mr. U.S.A." Tony Atlas by pinfall in the second round to continue to the next round of the AWF Heavyweight Championship tournament after Rich shifts his weight to reverse a vertical suplex into the ring into a pinfall and Rico Suave grabs Atlas' ankle. During the match, "Gentleman" Chris Adams is in the Warriors Corner, and says that the American Wrestling Federation has everything he wants: real wrestling, fantastic competition and the round system. The Warrior is a big man, but he has a big spirit, and he's coming for him.

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. Next week, he will give Jimmie Powers the wrestling lesson of his life in the first round of the AWF Heavyweight Championship tournament. 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. Rico Suave asks if Sgt. Slaughter is a draft dodger, and says that if Valentine and Rich faced each other in the tournament, it would make for a great match.

Koko B. Ware beats Nails by disqualification after Nails tosses him over the top rope seconds into their match, and continues to the semi-finals of the AWF Heavyweight Championship tournament. During the match, The Warlord is in the Warriors Corner, and he tells "Gentleman" Chris Adams that he will know how powerful he is and how bad pain can feel when he beats him and goes on to become the AWF Heavyweight Champion. After the match, Nails strangles Koko B. Ware with a microphone cable, then "Mr. U.S.A." Tony Atlas gets in the ring and stares Nails down while protecting Koko B. Ware. Nails slowly backs away.

Ken Resnick interviews Tito Santana, who is facing Hercules. He is nervous about Hercules, but it is Sheik Adnan Alkahassie, who does not care about the rules, who worries 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.

Sgt. Slaughter says you've made the right choice with the American Wrestling Federation, and until next week...you're dismissed.

He says that he is going to use the round system like the AWF, and that "Gnetleman" Chris Adams is the name.

Ken Resnick interviews The Warlord, who is in a tag team match next week. As for who his partner will be, he says his partner will be bigger, badder and crazier than him and is none other than Nails.
