Today's show kicks off with a video clip from the UIC Pavillion Oct. 19 with 'Mr. Perfect' Curt Hennig catching Bob Backlund in the Perfect Plex to capture the vacant AWA Heavyweight Belt before a capacity crowd and being awarded the belt by AWA President Nick Bockwinkel before fading to the AWA (American Wrestling Association) logo opens with a clips of Hennig, AWA Tag Team Champs the Powers of Pain (The Barbarian and the Warlord), AWA Junior Heavyweight Champ 'Mr. Electricity' Steve Regal and AWA Women's Champ Wendi Richter before going into the WGN studio where we join the announcing team of 'Mean' Gene Okerlund and Jim Ross. Gene and Jim are excited and welcome the fans back for another exciting hour of AWA Championship Wrestling on WGN.
Gene and Jim talk about how exciting the Chicago card was, especially the involvement of 'Macho Man' Randy Savage interjecting himself in the heavyweight title match. Okerlund says the Powers of Pain retained their belts against a fast, talented Can-Am Express team. Ross adds that 'Mr. Electricity' Steve Regal captured the Junior Belt and Wendi Richter took the Women's Belt. They announce the next card for Chicago is Saturday Nov. 9 back at the UIC Pavillion and will feature all the champions in action. The entire card will be announced next week.
'Mean' Gene welcomes out AWA President Nick Bockwinkel with heavyweight champ ''Mr. Perfect' Curt Hennig who talks about the actions of 'Macho Man' Randy Savage from last Saturday's card in Chicago. Nick says he was going to take action and will do so now. Curt says he wants to see what the President is going to do. They show a camera in the dressing room where Savage is watching a monitor just as Bockwinkel says due to Savage's interference in the Hennig-Backlund match, 'Macho Man' is fined $10,000 for his actions and if he continues interfering in matches that do not concern him, the fines will be much higher. Nick, Gene and Jim watch the monitor in the dressing room as Randy, who has been watching on a monitor, goes bonkers, attacking an unknown wrestler, then throwing chairs and kicking lockers. All the time Savage is yelling. "You did this Hennig You did this to me. I'll get you. I'll destroy you." The President says Mr. Savage has until the end of the program to pay the fine or be suspended without pay. 'Mr. Perfect' smiles and says he enjoys 'Macho Man's reaction. Proof enough that Randy Savage is not a worthy challenge for the title. Okerlund and Ross talk about the Savage's response to the president's fine. They go to the ring with ring announcer Mike McGuirk for the first match of the day. All tv bouts are 1-fall with a 10-minute time limit.
First Match. Single Match. 'The Hitman' Brett Hart debuts and gets a submission win over Steve Simpson with the sharp shooter in a scientific contest. (7:55). After the win, Gene joins Brett ringside. Hart says he is here to take the AWA title from Hennig and go after Ricky Steamboat for the NWA World's Heavyweight Belt. Okerlund reminds the Canada superstar that Randy Savage, the Ultimate Warrior, Bob Backlund and Butch Reed also want matches with the champ 'Mr. Perfect'. Brett says no one is perfect including Curt Hennig and he will prove it when he beats him for the belt. Hart adds that if he has to go through Savage, Warrior, Backlund and Reed, he will do so.

Before the start of the next match, the Ultimate Warrior joins Gene and Jim at the desk and adds his comment on Savage and his madness.

Warrior also adds that he is seeking a title match with Hennig himself.

Prematch taped interview with Jim and Madusa Miceli at the UIC Pavillion after losing to Wendi Richter. Madusa gives Wendi credit. She pulled it off and got the win.

Ross does commentary on clips of Lucha Libre superstars Atlantis and Dos Caras from Mexico. We return to the announcer's desk where Bockwinkel has rejoined Gene and Jim to see if Savage is going to pay the fine or face suspension. Out from the back comes, instead of 'Macho Man', 'Sensational' Sherri Martel to the surprise of everyone. Martel hands a startled Bockwinkel a check for $10,000 and walks off without saying a word, just smiling as the show closes with Bockwinkel, Okerlund and Ross looking stunned.
