AICW Saturday Night Heat; November 29, 1997; America West Arena, 
Phoenix, Arizona

Voice-over(Dan): This past Thursday, we celebrated Thanksgiving. 
<shot of a steaming hot turkey>  It's a holiday of family <shot of a 
family sitting at a table; they're wearing 1800's style garb>, 
friendship <shot of a young man and woman biting into a turkey leg at 
the same time>, and especially...turkey!  <shot of the same turkey>
We asked our AICW superstars what they're thankful for.  Here's what 
they had to say!  <shot of the turkey...getting squashed by someone 
wearing a wrestling boot>

The Egyptian Magician: I not Catholic!  So, I not celebrate 
Thanksgiving!  It is against my religion to be thankful for anything, 
so Egyptian Magician is thankful for nothing!

<screen flips.>

Mr. X: Mr. X is thankful for Mr. X and nothing else!

<screen flips.>

Mr. Y: What'm I thankful for? What's Mr. Y thankful for? I'll tell ya,
I'm thankful for being the Supreme Master, and the Ruler of the Earth!
Yeah, that's right, I'm so thankful I'm me! Yeah! And then, remember
when I fought that Crow guy? Remember? Yeah, I'm thankful I didn't hurt
him TOO bad! Yeah, and...and...let's see, what else am I thankful for...
hold on, gimme a min...

<screen flips, interrupting Mr. Y.>

"8 Ball" Vic Garibaldi:  I'm thankful that I'm in the AICW, where the 
competition's tough and I can't get enough!  I'm also thankful for my 
Family and my friends...you know the drill.  So have a safe 
Thansksgiving, AICW, so that you're 100% when I beat you in the ring.

Blackjack Takahashi: Takahashi thankful that JAPAN make best cars in 
world!

<screen flips.>

Erotic Erin <Money and Power stand behind her>: We are thankful that 
we do not talk, look or act like Sensuous Samantha and the Perfectly 
Perfect Duo!

<screen flips.>

"Golden Boy" Johnny Smith: What am I thankful for this year? 
Hmmmmm....<laughing> well after that match...I'm thankful I have all my 
limbs and teeth in place. But seriously, I am thankful that I can go 
out there...come hell or high water.....and give the fans their 
money's worth every night. One thing I would most like to be thankful 
for is the one person in this federation that pushed me to my limits 
and doesnt know it. I know she watched earlier and saw me damn near 
win that damn belt. I'm thankful for ever having her im my life.  Most 
of all...I'M thankful I am neither Martin X or Kyle Bane....not only
would I HATE to look like them, but I'm thankful that I dont have a 
man like me chasing after my ass like a mad dog. That's what I am 
thankful for.

<screen flips.>

Nicky De Niro: Nicky De Niro is thankful that God put bums like 
"Camel" Joe Banno and "8 Ball" Vic Garibaldi on this planet for me to 
kick around and torture.

<screen flips.>

Legion:  I'm thankful for my Master Kyle Bane, who is helping to free
me from the pain and the torment that I have experienced in my
lifetime!  I'm thankful for getting the opportunity to hurt and kill
people!  I like hurting people!  And finally, I'm thankful that my
Master Kyle Bane is the AICW World Champion and that soon, very soon,
I will be the next AICW International Champion, and we will rule this
federation, and make all of you feel our agony, our pain, and our
darkness!

<screen flips.>

"Hot Stuff" Harry Huckleberry: I'm thankful for being the sexiest man
alive, for having a body like this, and for having so many lovely 
women admirers who would give anything for just one ride on the Starship
Huckleberry! Oh yeah, I am HOT STUFF, bay-beeee!!!

<screen flips.>

El Aguila Negro: I'm thankful for all the opportunity I was given here
in this great country, and here in the AICW. Viva Aguila!

<screen flips.>

Crazy Clay Carter: I am thankful for being in the best wrestling
organization in the world.  I have wrestled all over the world and now 
I have hit the big time.  I am thankful that I am as good a wrestler 
as I can be.  I will be thankful of all the titles I plan to win.

<screen flips.>

Mark McMahon: I'm thankful having pure wrestling talent.  I'm thankful 
for the few people who agree with me that 90's wrestling doesn't 
amount to a hill of beans when compared with the old days.  And one 
thing I'm VERY thankful for is being disowned by my egomaniacal, 
backstabbing father!

<screen flips.>

Martin X:  I'm thankful that The Black Man is superior to all other 
races!  I'm thankful that I AM A TRUE BLACK MAN, unlike some of these
SELL-OUTS, like that punk, Ice Cold!  I'm thankful that I am a real 
man, unlike that gaylord Johnny Smith!  And I'm thankful that I get
to beat up on some WHITE HONKYS in the AICW!  Now get this stinking 
camera out of my face!

<screen flips.>

Ice Cold:  Yo what up AICW!  This is Ice Cold up in the house!  I'm 
just thankful that God has blessed me to be able to participate in 
such an elite federation against the best talent in the wrestling 
world today.  Peace, I'm out!

<screen flips.>

Elvis: I'm thankful that God gave me this GORGEOUS head of hair!  Oh 
yeah, and for my manager too!

<screen flips.>

The Shogun of Harlem:  I AM THE SHOGUN OF HARLEM AND I AM THE MASTER!

<screen flips.>

"The Demon" Kyle Bane: I'm thankful for crowbars, Texas Death Matches, 
well-cooked spicy Italian pizza, syphilis, Hustler Magazine, Napalm, 
Armani suits, industrial music, sawed-off shotguns, New York City 
Mayor Rudy Guliani, and butterfly knives!

<The camera shows the crowd.  They're screaming and yelling like 
crazy, chanting "AICW!  AICW!"  On the video screen, the letters, 
"AICW: We RULE the wrestling world....AND YOU KNOW IT appear.  The 
camera scans the crowd and we see such signs as "Apocalypse '97: PPV 
of the year", "Johnny Smith was robbed", "Down with Black Power", and 
"Kyle Bane is GOD".  AICW announcer Andy Burton steps in the ring.>

Andy: Ladies and gentlemen, did Apocalypse '97 rock or what?

<The fans scream like crazy.>

Andy: Allow me to introduce to you, Dan "The Man" Chan, "Supersexy" 
Juan LaFon, and special guest Marv Halbert!

<All three make their way down the aisle as the generic AICW music 
plays.  Dan tags a few hands, while Marv Halbert smiles and stares at 
Juan LaFon.  He puts his arm around her, but Juan shoves him off and 
yells something in his direction.  All three proceed to the broadcast 
position.>

Dan: Hello once again AICW fans!  I cannot believe what happened at 
Apocalypse '97!!!  What an event!

Juan: It was SOOOOO long!  We've got to do some editing....let's cut
out most of Dan's lines!

Dan: Ladies and gentlemen, our special guest tonight is Marv Halbert, 
former NCB and MGS commentator!  This is his FIRST time doing wrestling!
Marv, did you see Apocalypse '97 live on Pay-Per-View!

Marv: <thinking.> YES!!!  Hulk Hogan was successful in defending his 
WWFW crown once again!

Dan: Uh...you're thinking about Wrestlemania...years ago....

Marv: YES!!!  I saw it!

Dan: Ummm....Marv, when was the last time you saw a WRESTLING 
Pay-Per-View?

Marv: I believe it was....Wrestlemania.....THREE!!!  That was last 
year!

Dan: ...ok...

Juan: This guy's in his own little, fairy world!

Dan: Before we get to our first match, we'll have an exclusive 
interview with the FIRST EVER, AICW International Champion, "8 Ball" 
Vic Garibaldi!!

Marv: YES!!

Juan: NO!!  Who the heck hired this reject?!!  I bet it was that 
witch, Otero!!  Only she could be so devious!

Dan: Reba Kola is standing by!

Reba: Thanks Dan, I'm here with "8 Ball" Vic Garibaldi!  Vic, 
congratulations on winning the AICW International Championship!  Tell 
us, what is next for Vic Garibaldi?

Vic: Thanks, gorgeous.  Well, now that I've shown everybody who the
force is in the AICW, the idea is to defend my belt against anyone
worthy, until the AICW brass thinks I have what it takes for a world 
title shot.  That means Joe Banno, Blackjack Takahashi, hell, I'll 
fight Mr. Y if he can show me he's got what it takes to have this 
belt.

Reba: Now, there have been rumors running rampant that you'll be
forming The Firm here in the AICW.  Is this true?

Vic:  I won't lie to you, Reba.  It sounds like a good idea.  I've 
just established myself as one of the big dogs here, and maybe a 
couple guys out there will understand how important it is to have a 
guy watch your back.  That's why an old friend of mine just signed.  
You'll be hearing from Oswald Bates soon, I guarantee.  As far as 
other members, I love a guy who can get in there and WRESTLE, you 
know?  That's why I'm making my first offer to Byron Brady.  I've seen 
this guy, and he has a hell of a lot of potential, but a guy like him 
can get swallowed up in a fed like this if he doesn't have 
representation.  With any luck, it can be a mutually beneficial 
relationship.

Reba: What do you think about Nicky De Niro's actions at the PPV last
night?

Vic: Truth?  I think he was an imbecile.  He had a lot of cojones for
eliminating himself, but I don't think it was too bright of him.  If it
had been me against De Niro instead of Banno, things may not be as 
they are.  But, if I have my facts straight, I walked out with the
Intercontinental Belt, and he walked out with a gym bag.

Reba: I believe that "Camel" Joe Banno is in line for a re-match. 
Some say that he was cheated by De Niro.  What do you have to say
about him?

Vic: I don't know if he's in line for a rematch, dollface.  He was the
last man standing in that other ring, but only because De Niro didn't
finish the job.  I'll give him his match if he wants it, and I'll show
you again why I'm the International Champion and he's not.

Reba: Any other comments for us?

Vic: I think I proved who the best man was the other night, I showed 
19 other guys.  Something like this could get me a lot of respect 
around here.  Could I contend for world gold in the near future?  I 
like my chances.  And when the Firm is full strength, can anyone stand 
against us?  Fahgettaboutit.

Reba: There you have it ladies and gents, Vic Garibaldi!

Dan: And thank you, Reba!  Marv, what do you think about Mr. Garibaldi?

Marv: Well, Dan...it's important to note that..

Dan: OH NO!!  "Camel" Joe Banno just came out of the crowd and nailed 
Garibaldi from behind!  He's pounding away!  Get somebody out here to 
stop this!  Vic now fighting back!  Joe Banno and Vic Garibaldi are 
going toe-to-toe! 

Marv: You know, in basketball....this sort of thing doesn't happen.

Dan: There brawling around the ring now!  Right in front of us!  OH!
BOO-YAA!!  Vic nails Banno with the belt!  Banno now picking up my 
glass of water!  Hey!  Give that back!  OH!  JESUS!  Vic just knocked 
the water out of Banno's hand and it spilled all over us!  

Marv: Don't worry, Dan!  It's just water!  Here Ms. LaFon!  

<Marv tries to wipe some of the water off of Juan LaFon's tight, 
skimpy dress.  He has a wicked smile on his face.>

Juan: UGHHH!  Get your hands off me you pervert!  I'm getting out of 
here!  I've got to ready Elvis for his match and I don't need to be 
bothered by you losers!

<Juan gets up and leaves the broadcast booth.>

Dan: Well it seems that Juan LaFon will not be with us tonight!

Marv: It's a.....shame.

Dan: Good thing that security is here to break up this fight!  Thank 
God!  We've got to take a commercial break!  We'll be back with the 
match between Mr. Loverman and "The Ruler" Luis Valdez and hopefully, 
a replacement for "Supersexy" Juan LaFon!  Stay with us!
