Round 1:  K2K (Konan 2000 – Scott Putski) and Sierra start off, with K2K getting an early edge with armdrags and hip tosses.  Mr. Fuji comes to ringside for no apparant reason.  K2K lays out all three heels, and his partners come into the ring to back him up.  Order is restored and Sierra tags to Destroyer, who doesn't fare much better than Sierra.  Tag to Zenk, who works on the arm then tags to Adams.  Adams works on the arm then tags to K2K.  K2K works on the arm and then goes for an elbow drop, only to miss.  Destroyer's advantage doesn't last for long, as K2K goes right back to work on the arm.  A tag to Zenk, who applies a hammerlock that gets countered by a drop-toe hold, and then Destroyer tags the big man, Mr. Hughes.  Zenk manages to slip away, and they start as a vertical base.  Hughes spits on his fist and then begins to wail on Zenk, who takes it in stride.  Zenk walks over and tags Adams, who doesn't do much better against Hughes. Hughes tags Sierra with 30 seconds left, and Sierra goes to an arm bar, which with 5 seconds left, Adams reverses, and as time expires Adams gets Sierra in a short arm scissors.  Hayes calls for a disqualification as the ring girl enters the ring and we go to a commercial break.  

Round 2:  Adams and Siera start it off with Sierra blocking an Adams' kick attempt, only to get hit with an enzuigiri instead.  Sierra is stunned by this, and he gets tied up in the ropes.  Adams, ever the opportunist, starts hitting Sierra and goes for a cross body block, only to have Sierra get free and move out of the way. Sierra tags Hughes, who nails Adams with a clothesline, and a devastating elbow. Hughes goes up top and the fans start up a "USA" chant to spur on the British Adams. Hughes misses a somersault splash (!) and Adams tags to Zenk. Fuji leaves at this point, and Hughes tags to the Super Destroyer. Zenk nails a beautiful dropkick and hits Sierra for good measure. A whip to the ropes, and Zenk locks Destroyer into the sleeper, which promptly gets broken up by Sierra. A melee ensues, with Hughes and Adams pairing off, as well as K2K and Sierra. Destroyer whips Zenk into the turnbuckle, but Zenk hops up to the second rope and delivers a reverse cross body press which gets the three count.  

Winners:  Tom Zenk, Chris Adams and Konan 2000 by pinfall  

We see a replay of Zenk's dropkick, and then the reverse body press.  And once again we go to a commercial break.  

Despicable Dave concludes – “The show is fast paced with excellent production values. In some respects it is like a time warp back to the early 80's, but I don't know if that is a bad thing. The only peculiarity is the round system and that doesn't intrude nearly as much as I expected. I give the first show a thumbs-up”.  
 

“If the AWF can do something about their broadcasting team and if and when The Road Warriors show up, I look for big things to happen with the AWF by the first of the new year”.  
 

Further to this, Jason Robar reported  -   

Ken asks about the rumor going around that Tom would be teaming with Sgt Slaughter.  Zink doesn't deny the rumor, only saying that it would be a great opportunity to team with Sarge.  Ken asks if Tom will be here next week, and Zink says that he'll be wrestling next week, and the week after, and the week after.  These friends exchange pleasantries and thank yous, and we cut away.  

To describe The Terrorist, he's a well-toned smaller guy who wears a black mask and black trunks.  Zink is introduced and as he enters we go to a commercial break.  

Round 1:  Z-Man starts out with a couple of arm drags, and we go to  Warriors Corner with Mr. Fuji.  Fuji apologizes to Tito [Santana] and then says something about Pearl Harbor.  We go back to the ring.  Zink  goes to a headlock for a while and then decides to deliver a suplex before going back to the headlock...  Zink has the edge now.  He charges in and nails the Terrorist with a spinning leg lariat, which is then followed up by a headlock takedown throw.  Tom whips the Terrorist into the ropes and nails him with a savate/superkick for the win.  

Winner:  "Z-Man" Tom Zink by pinfall  

Nailz had obviously toned down his act after last-night’s mishap—no foreign objects were used in this match...  In the end Zenk rolls him up and pins him.   

On to the results - 
 

I like the Z-Mans theme music....it's called "Come on feel the noise", but I can't remember who sings it.  This was a good, athletic match, with Z-Man doing some dropkicks and body presses.  The Bully is fun to listen to in the way he interacts with the crowd.  Z-Man won the match in the third when he rolled up the Bully, who was celebrating because he thought that he had just pinned The Z.  
 

The wrestlers were eliminated in this order:  

1.  Nailz  
2.  The Bodyguard  
3.  Moondog Ed Morrety  
4.  Sumito  
5.  Lightning Buddy Wayne  
6.  The Honky Tonk Man  
7.  Koko B. Ware  
8.  Greg "The Hammer" Valentine  
9.  Tom "Z-Man" Zenk  
10.  The Blacktop Bully  
11.  Sargent Slaughter  
12.  Billy Two Eagles  
13.  Cheif Charlie Norris  
14.  "Playboy" Buddy Rose  

...and the title shot went to "Cowboy" Bob Orton, Jr.  
 

The AWF travelled to Anoka Minnesota featuring a card of five matches and a 12 Man Battle Royal to cap the night.  Mick Karch and President Paul Alperstein were in attendance and kicked off the night with an interview with Northen Premier Wrestling manager, Mortimer Plumtree, manager of Lucious Lenny Lane and JB Trask.  

We're told that some of the matches may be televised on the nationally syndicated AWF program as all the matches were taped from tonight's card.  

The round system was used like other  AWF matches.  I know there has been a lot of negative talk about the round system, but I believe if the AWF could figure a way to work it into the angles better, the change could be interesting.  Tonight however, it just seemed to get in the way. 
 

 
Finally the 12 Man Battle Royal----  

All the local guys engage in a battle royal including some we haven't yet tonight. The Judge, The Mangler, Dr Bob and Jimbo Starr participated. Horace the Psychopath wins throwing The Judge out of the ring last.   

Overall not a bad show.  I was disappointed we didn't see more non-local guys (Zenk, Nailz and The Blacktop Bully are all regulars on the indie scene here).
