Plot summary
Tom Brell runs the World Television Network, the lowest rated network on the air, and he wants the WWF Heavyweight Champion Rip Thomas wrestling on his shows. Rip's younger brother Randy is at ringside for his matches. The day after Rip's title match against Jake Bullet, Brell tries to entice Rip into joining his network, and Rip refuses. Brell's men jump Rip in his limo, and Rip fights them off. At the No Count Bar, Brell comes up with a program of his own, The Battle of the Tough Guys, and brings in Zeus, an ex-convict and former student of Rip's trainer, Charlie. Zeus wins the hundred-thousand-dollar tournament and becomes Brell's prized fighter. Rip meets Samantha Moore.
