Jesse Ewiak Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Triple H is being a great heel for the territory, and I'm weirdly looking forward to his eventual beatdown from one of the local guys. The Public Enemy work as a far less controversial Gangstas replacement. Hopefully, they'll get the good kinda heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wahoos Leg Posted November 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 SMW TV for November 4, 1995 Packed house in the studio this week. Bob Caudle and Buddy Landell once again are the commentators. Caudle hypes today's huge main event... Unabom vs. Brad Armstrong for the SMW title. There must be a winner, and if Armstrong loses, he will not receive another shot at the SMW Title for one year! From there, he takes us to the ring for the opening match. MATCH #1 Justin Hawk Bradshaw & Kendall Windham vs. The Hardy Brothers Matt and Jeff Hardy make their SMW debut against the surprising team of Bradshaw and Windham. The two Texans use their size, strength and experience to overwhelm the two rookies. A double flying lariat onto Jeff Hardy finishes the match. After the match, Caudle interviews Bradshaw and Windham from the broadcast area. Caudle: Gentlemen, everyone is wondering... how do two rivals end up teaming together?Windham: Bob Caudle, me and Bradshaw took each other to hell and back last month. I threw my best at him, and he threw his best at me... and the one thing we realized was that, together, there was no stopping us. So, we are bringing a little taste of Texas to the tag division, and we're coming after YOU, Public Enemy, for those Tag Titles. COMMERCIAL Back from the break, and Caudle introduces footage of the Rock & Roll Express attacking Public Enemy last week. extra footage rolls after the television time ran out, as basically the entire locker room and staff of the promotion come pouring out of the back to separate the four combatants. Back to ringside, and Caudle says Morton and Gibson will be back in action next week! MATCH #2 SMW TV Title Match Dutch Mantell comes out, dressed to wrestle, and says he's issued his open challenge against a randomly drawn opponent. Mantell waits in the ring as James Stone comes through the curtain... and is immediately attacked from behind by Sgt. Craig Pittman! The Pitbull getting payback for last week's loss! Pittman brutalizes Stone, delivering a wicked body slam on the concrete floor and then getting down in his face and screaming "You're worthless!" over and over again like a drill sergeant. As referees get Pittman to the back, Mantell scurries out of the ring, grabs Stone's carcass and drags it into the ring. He motions to the referee, who calls for the bell. Mantell covers and makes the three count. As Mantell celebrates with a victory lap around the ring, Landell praises his friend. Landell: What an incredible start to his TV Title reign! Mantell just beat his first challenger in three seconds! He just might end up the greatest TV champion ever! COMMERCIAL Caudle announces the Thanksgiving Thunder tour, coming later this month during Thanksgiving week! Tickets on sale now... Nov. 23 in Knoxville Nov. 24 in Barbourville, KY Nov. 25 in Johnson City All your favorite SMW stars in action! Caudle then introduces "the blueblood from Connecticut", Hunter Hearst Helmsley. Helmsley: Bob Caudle, do you know why I did not grace you with my presence last week for an interview? It is because you did not... say... please. You see, manners are important. Without manners, without etiquette, we have nothing. We're barbarians. It is important, above all things, to be civilized. And so that's why I'm here. That's why I have sullied myself to come to this... toilet... in Tennessee. Trying to bring a little class to people in dire need. And I will accomplish that by becoming the top wrestler here. Look at my record, Mr. Caudle. I'm undefeated. Every single wrestler I have faced has gone down to my Pedigree. So everyone here had best prepare themselves... for an etiquette lesson. Helmsley strolls away. COMMERCIAL MATCH #3 SMW Heavyweight Title, There Must Be A Winner Unabom vs. Brad Armstrong Unabom tries to jump Armstrong before the bell but the challenger sees it coming, moves and Unabom smashes into the corner turnbuckles. Armstrong fires away on Unabom with punches and kicks, battering away relentlessly. Unabom bails out to the floor, Armstrong out to the apron and dives on top of him! This match quickly getting out of hand! Armstrong taking advantage of the relaxed rules and they begin to brawl all throughout the studio as Bob Caudle reminds the fans there has to be a winner! Armstrong goes for a chair, nails Unabom in the gut with it. He winds up for a blast to the head, but Unabom kicks the chair back into the face of the challenger! Armstrong comes up bleeding after that... Unabom peels him up off the floor and rolls him into the ring. Cover, but only a two count! Unabom starts to pummel Armstrong, focusing on the head and opening the cut. Armstrong is a bloody mess! However, Unabom once again is unable to put him down for the three count. Unabom heads to the outside now, and he brings two chairs into the ring. He sets both chairs on the mat, then hooks Armstrong for his finishing powerbomb. Armstrong hoisted up into the air... and he drops down behind! Reverse mule kick to Unabom for the low blow! He then turns the champion, hooks a Russian legsweep... RUSSIAN LEGSWEEP ONTO THE CHAIRS! The studio audience erupts! Unabom is lifeless, but Armstrong also hit the chairs and rolls away, grabbing his back. He crawls over for the cover. One! Two! Thr--referee Mark Curtis gets pulled out of the ring by... TERRY GORDY?!? Caudle: What in the world is Terry Gordy doing here?!? The Freebird rolls into the ring and starts hammering Armstrong with punches, making him bleed even more. He hooks Armstrong for a powerbomb, and nails it in the center of the ring! Gordy rolls Unabom over onto Armstrong, and orders the referee to count. 1... 2... 3! The show ends with Robert Fuller coming to the ring. The SMW minority owner celebrates with Unabom and Gordy as the referee checks on Armstrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wahoos Leg Posted November 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 November 11 TV Bob Caudle and Buddy Landell open the show, but they are interrupted by the trio of Robert Fuller, SMW Heavyweight Champion Unabom, and Terry Gordy. Fuller brags about his "ace in the hole" last week and announces Gordy as the newest member of the Smoky Mountain roster. Fuller then complains about it being "too easy" to challenge the champion for the title these days, and says that anyone who wants a title shot from here on out will have to win a number one contender's match! The first of these matches will be held next week on TV for anyone who wants it! This brings out Brian Lee, who immediately accepts. Lee and Unabom go nose to nose, but Fuller steps in between and makes the match... Lee vs. Terry Gordy next week in the main event! MATCH #1 Dirty White Boy (w/ Ron Wright) vs. Jerry Lynn A hard fought, back and forth match. DWB looks to be ready to finish it when Bull Pain comes to ringside. Distracted, DWB gets rolled up and pinned by Lynn. After the match, DWB rolls to the outside and starts another wild brawl with Bull Pain. It takes half the locker room and every referee to separate them. This brings out Commissioner Armstrong, who says the score will be settled at Thanksgiving Thunder. November 23 in Knoxville, Dirty White Boy will face Bull Pain in a Street Fight! Bob Caudle tries to get Armstrong's comments on last week's title match, but the Commissioner says he's been ordered not to comment. MATCH #2 SMW TV Title Dutch Mantel defends Another randomly selected contender... and it's Bull Pain! However, Pain has been ejected from the building after the brawl, so Dutch wins by forfeit! Dirty Dutch does another victory lap around the ring, and stops to shake hands and hug Landell. Bob Caudle whens Dutch will ever actually have to wrestle as champion! Caudle runs down the lineup for Thanksgiving Thunder tour. Nov. 23 in Knoxville Nov. 24 in Barbourville, KY Nov. 25 in Johnson City Two matches announced for Knoxville... Dirty White Boy vs. Bull Pain in a street fight, AND, just announced, the Rock & Roll Express challenge Public Enemy for the tag titles! MATCH #3 Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs. Matt Hardy The Connecticut blueblood scores another dominant win, finishing things off with the double underhook facebuster which, as mentioned last week, he calls the Pedigree. Out of the break, and Public Enemy are at the commentary station, upset over the title match with the Rock & Roll Express. Grunge: We don't know nothin' about no title match with those two wimps, and, well, we think you're making it up! Rocco: Yeah! Grunge: If these two think they're so tough, let's not wait for a match. Let's have a fight RIGHT NOW! Grunge and Rock roll into the ring, and Morton and Gibson quickly enter the studio. A wild brawl starts with all four men, raging all around the ringside area and the studio. Morton and Gibson appear to have the upper hand in the battle, when Grunge comes up with a fire extinguisher from under the ring and sprays Gibson in the face! Gibson down blinded, allowing the champions to double team Morton. Rocco Rock brings a table into the ring! They position Morton on the table... the studio audience is booing and many of the female fans are shrieking at Morton about to go through the table. Suddenly, two more men hit the ring in jeans and boots. IT'S THE HEAVENLY BODIES! Tom Prichard and Jimmy Del Ray start laying waste to the champions with punches and kicks. Grunge and Rock bail out and make a hasty retreat! Meanwhile, Gibson has rolled back into the ring. The Rock & Roll Express and the Heavenly Bodies are staring down one another as the episode ends.
