WTVT

8:00-11:00

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE

“Yello again everybody. Welcome to a special UWF event coming to you from here in Music City USA….. Nashville, Tennessee and the Tennessee State Fairgrounds. I am Lance Russell along with the Jim Ross. What a day of wrestling we have already had today at the State Fairgrounds as all of the UWF Champions are defending their titles in an showcase of all the UWF talent. These are some of the highlights from the day's earlier matches.

 

 

UWF CENTRAL STATES TELEVISION TITLE

MARTY JONES VS GARY ROYAL

In rather quick fashion, we see Jones defeat Royal in about 6 minutes with a nasty Belly to Belly Piledriver! Marty Jones continues his roll as he retains the TV Title!

 

 

 

UWF CONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING TV TITLE

DAVID SAMMARTINO with FREDDIE BLASSIE & TEDDI MUSCLES VS MR. OLYMPIA

It appeared that we were going to have our first new champion of the evening as Mr. Olympia was having his way with Sammartino as he had the champ locked in the sleeper but the numbers game was just too much. Teddy Muscles came in the ring and clocked Mr. Olympia from behind. Blass was not far behind and got in a few shoots with the cane. After the DQ, the trio raised their hands in a sign of victory like they accomplished something.

UWF TV TITLE MATCH

VLAD THE RUSSIAN HAMMER VS JIMMY SNUKA

Snuka is the first man ever to give Vlad a quality match and was on the verge of winning as he followed up a series of headbutts and climbed the ropes for the Superfly Death leap but Vlad moved out of the way at the last second. Snuka smacked his head off the canvass and took a while to stagger to his feet. Vlad had recovered by now and came off the ropes with the Double Fisted Russian Hammer for the win. Now Vlad really brought some heat on himself as the grabbed the Russian Flag and proudly waved it around the ring.

 

Jim Ross: Oh come on now! This is America for God sakes. Someone must put an end to this.

 

All of sudden, The American Dream comes out and the crowd goes wild.

 

Jim Ross: Bah Gawd…. Its Dusty Rhodes! If anyone will put this Ruskie in his place its Dusty!

 

Lance Russell: Yeah but Dusty better be careful, his match for the North American Championship against Ted Dibiase is still to come.

 

WHAM….

 

Too late as Vlad has attacked Dusty with the flag pole and he is really giving it to the Dream. Dusty is busted wide open and we see a preview of next month’s cover of Pro Wrestling Illustrated…… Dusty with blood streaming down his face and the Russian flag draped over his body as Vlad stands over the Dream.

 

The attack only lasts a minute or two as officials rush out and get Vlad away. Both Ross and Russell wonder if Dusty will be able to wrestle later on.

 

 

UWF CENTRAL STATES TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

THE KINISKI BROTHERS WITH GENE KINISKI VS JIMMY VALIANT & THE DREAM MACHINE

The Nashville crowd is really into this one as Valiant and Dream Machine are some of the biggest names in Memphis Wrestling history and they really have the crowd behind them. Valiant is doing the Boogie Woggie act all over the place and is really keeping the Kiniski’s off balance while Dream Machine is connecting with all types of power moves. Valiant seems on the verge of gaining the victory as he has Kelly Kiniski locked in the sleeper. To try and save the belts, Nick grabs a chair and comes in to clock Valiant and cause the automatic DQ and save the titles.

 

Lance Russell: Watch out Jimmy!

 

Somehow, Valiant sensed the trouble and released the sleeper but as he turned he opened up his face for the chair shot!

 

 

Jim Ross: Oh my…. I can’t believe what I have just seen. It is Gene Kiniski ripping the chair from his own son’s hands. Nick and Gene are having words in the center of the ring. Valiant takes the opportunity caused by the distraction and comes up from behind a dazed Kelly and rolls him up for the pin.

 

Jim Ross: And the new UWF CENTRAL STATES TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS ….. Jimmy Valiant and The Dream Machine!

 

 

UWF CONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING

BAM BAM BIGELOW VS THE BULLETT

A true battle for the ages and it could have gone either way. The Bullet had many chances and seemed to be the better technical wrestler. His best opportunity came as he locked in the Figure Four but Bigelow made it to the ropes forcing the break. The end came after Bigelow connected with a Top Rope Splash as Lance commented on the amazing agility of this big man with the fireball on his bald head.

UWF CENTRAL STATES HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

SWEET BROWN SUGAR VS BLACK DRAGON with JR FOLEY

A typical babyface vs heel match here. Sugar started quickly but Dragon gained the momentum after some questionable tactics. As the action spilled out of the ring, Dragon grabbed Sugar as Foley wound up for a big blow. Sugar escaped at the last second and Foley clocked his own man. Sweet Brown Sugar hit Foley with a missile dropkick and then threw Cobra back into the ring where he whipped him into the ropes and caught him with another Missile Dropkick for the win.

 

UWF U.S. TITLE

TERRY GORDY VS HACKSAW REED WITH ERNIE LADD

The fans are awed at all the power moves in this one but as one would expect, Ernie Ladd would somehow get involved. After Hacksaw tossed Gordy though the ropes, the ref went to admonish Reed. This gave Ladd time to connect with a Big Boot from the size 20 boot! Ladd tossed a dazed Gordy back into the ring who staggered to his feet just in time for

 

WHAM!

 

A monster football tackle by Reed. He quickly scoops up Gordy for the Gorilla Press Slam and the victory!

 

The music starts to blare…….. The Nation …… of Domination as Jim Ross and Lance Russell announce the new U.S. Champion….. Hacksaw Butch Reed!

 

Jim Ross: And when we come back from break, we will be picking up with the live action.

9/12/1985:

Continuation of title day at the Tennessee State Fair.......

UWF SOUTHERN TAG TEAM TITLE

THE FABULOUS ONES VS THE KIWI SHWWPHERDERS (Rip Morgan & Jonathan Boyd)

While the match was great, the spectacle of these 4 men entering the ring was a sight to be seen. Between the tuxedos and top hats of the “Sharpe Dressed Men” to the Kiwi Sheepherders and their crazy march to the ring all while waving the New Zealand flag, the fans were thoroughly entertained before the bout ever got started.

 

Once it did, we had we have a crazy four part match. The first sees the Fab Ones running the ropes and connecting with some high paced moves. Next, the Kiwi Sheepherders use some brutal tactics to put the Fab Ones in some peril.

 

Keirn is able to escape the trouble and tag in Lane who comes in like a house afire and the bonzo gonzo part is under way. Too bad for the Fab Ones that the ref goes down which allow a recovered Terry Gordy time to rush in powerslams both Lane and Keirn.

 

This allows the Kiwi Sheepherders to make the pin and gain the UWF Southern Title!

 

Lance Russell is in shock at the behavior of Bam Bam Gordy but Jim Ross reminds us what Michael Hayes always says, “Once a Freebird, always a Freebird” and with the white- hot feud going on right now between the Freebirds and the Fab Ones, he is not shocked!

 

 

 

UWF U.S. TAG TEAM TITLE

RONNIE GARVIN & TERRY TAYLOR VS THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS with JIM CORNETTE

We get a three part match here with a crazy finish. We start off with Terry Taylor and Bobby Eaton showing off their technical skill with some nice chain wrestling. Garvin goes next and it is the baby faces who turn rulebreakers first in this match. The good news for the fans is that both Taylor and Garvin are great at throwing the fists and the champions stay in control of the bout through the second stage. Cornette tosses the tennis racket in but before Condrey catches it, Garvin intercepts it and threatens to crack Cornette with it.

 

It is here that Condrey, who has been playing the heel in peril makes the tag to Bobby Eaton. Eaton comes in with a forearm to the back of the head and backs Garvin into the corner. Terry Taylor is fuming and goes after Cornette. This side action has everyone’s attention including the ref. As Cornette is dashing around the ring with Taylor in pursuit we hear a frantic Jim Ross.

 

“Bah Gawd…. FIREBALL….. FIREBALL…. Bobby Eaton has just lit Ronnie Garvin’s face on fire!

 

Garvin is writhing in pain and is rolling frantically all over the ring. Terry Taylor never saw it and neither did the ref so nobody involved realized how much trouble Garvin is in.

 

All of a sudden, Jimmy Garvin runs to the ring and throws in the white towel and goes right after the Midnight Express and he is going wild. The Midnight Express run for higher ground as Lance and Ross wait for the decision.

 

The ref comes over and whispers into the ear of Lance Russell.

 

“Well fans, you are not going to like this at all. We have new U.S. Tag Team Champions as Jimmy Garvin tossed in the white towel surrending the match and the TITLES to the Midnight Express.

 

Jim Ross can’t believe it and wants the decision reversed while a camera catches a screaming Ronnie Garvin being helped to the back as Jimmy Garvin is going wild about what he is going to do to the Midnight Express and Jim Cornette.

UWF CONTINENTAL TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

THE WRECKING CREW (GENOCHIRO TENRYU & JUMBO TSURATA) with LARS ANDERSON VS THE NIGHTMARES

The one thing that was obvious after this match was that the Road Warriors better be on their game or the Wrecking Crew might just be the new UWF World Tag Champions. They just outclassed the Nightmares here and had a clean win as Tenryo connected with a middle rope powerbomb that seemed to break Nightmare #1 in half!

 

UWF SOUTERN TITLE

HARLEY RACE with FREDDIE BLASSIE & TEDDIE MUSCLES VS KEVIN VON ERICH

Oh the numbers game! Race and Kevin is an instant classic but could VonErich deal with Blassie and Teddy Muscles! The crowd goes wild as they see the solution. He has brought Mike and Terry Von Erich to ringside with him. Blassie argued that they couldn’t stay because they did not have a managerial license but the ref quickly pointed out that neither does Teddy so he let them all stay.

 

This allowed for some crazy moments but the two camps on the outside cancelled each other out and Race’s entourage didn’t play a factor in the outcome for once.

 

What we did have was a GREAT WRESTLING MATCH!

 

Dropkicks, Sleepers, Hammerlocks, Claws Diving Headbutts, Scoop Slams and Suplexes and of course your eye gouging and fist-a-cuffs!

 

Neither man could come out on top and the bout ended with a 30 Minute Draw!

UWF NORTH AMERICAN TITLE

TED DIBIASE VS DUSTY RHODES

Dusty Rhodes gives it his best shot as he comes out all stitched up but you can tell the attack by Vlad has taken its toll. Dusty gives the fans everything he has and is on the verge of the title but as the ref got in a little close, he didn’t have the angle to see Dibiase load up that black glove. After the forced break, Dibiase caught Rhodes with the glove for the win. Both Lance and Jim Ross really want the UWF to step in and ban that glove!

MUSIC CITY TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

AUSTIN IDOL & SUPERSTAR BILL DUNDEE VS THE TENNESSEE STUD STABLE (Tommy Rich & Eddie Gilbert)

A classic Memphis Wrestling feud here that has the fans on the edge of their seats. They hate the Stud Stable and really want to see Idol and Dundee give it to them. The beginning looks promising as the fan favorites have Rich in a world of trouble. After a lowblow by Rich and a tag to Gilbert who comes in with an eye rake on Idol, the tide has turned. We now get about five good minutes of Dundee as the face in peril! Somehow he makes a daring escape!

 

Besides feuds what else is Memphis know for?

 

 

That’s right…… Heel turns.

 

As Dundee tries to make the tag to Dundee, the Superstar simply jumps off the ring apron onto the floor and walks away.

 

Superstar is left to fight on his own and gives a nice effort but eventually he meets his fate with the Hot Shot!

 

Lance Russell: I should have known. It was too good to be true. The Peaceful Memphis is offer. That lowdown rotten snake Idol is back to his disgusting ways. Why did we ever trust him? The Tennessee Stud Stable are the first ever Music City Bowl Tag Champions!

 

MUSIC CITY CHAMPIONSHIP

STEVE “DR. DEATH” WILLIAMS VS HACKSAW JIM DUGGAN

This might just be the match of the week here in Nashville. We got too big, angry men here who hate each other and it shows from the get go. This looks more like a bar room brawl then a wrestling show and the fans love every minute of it. Power move after power move with each man doing a nice job a selling. We get a clean finish here as Dr. Death sidestepped a football tackle that caused Hacksaw to hit the ring post with his head. As he staggered out to the center, Dr. Death caught him with an Oklahoma Stampede for the victory. While it was clean, there is no way that Williams is over Dr. Death. This match was so even that the next time the finish could easily be reversed.

 

Jim Ross: And the first ever Memphis City Bowl Champion is Dr. Death Steve Williams. Don’t forget to join us in two days for the Gauntlet Matches here at the Tennessee State Fair. So long for now!

“Yello again everybody. This truly has been the greatest week in UWF history as all of the promotions have come together for this wrestling spectacular. We have seen twist and turns that nobody could have seen coming. From Austin Idol turning on Superstar Bill Dundee to the viscous attack by Vlad the Russian Hammer on the American Dream Dusty Rhodes. From title changes to new titles….. we have barely been able to keep up with all the action. Tonight will be no different and together with my partner Jim Ross, we are in for one of the most innovative nights in wrestling history. It is Gauntlet Night! First, the Tag Teams! All UWF Tag Team Champions have each been given a number chosen at random which will determine when they will enter the ring. Winner stays and the losers are eliminated. Last team standing gets a World Title Shot vs The Road Warriors Monday night as part of the closing ceremonies of the Great Tennessee State Fair! Next up will be the Singles Gauntlet which will follow the same format.

 

Jim Ross: Bah Gawd! Imagine the carnage we will see by the end of the night. Let’s get to possible the best tag team match in the history of the sport right now!

 

MUSIC CITY MAYHEM 1985 TAG TEAM GAUNTLET MATCH

TEAMS (IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER)

THE FAB ONES: UWF SOUTHERN TAG CHAMPS

JIMMY VALIANT & DREAM MACHINE: UWF CENTRAL STATES TAG CHAMPS

THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS: UWF U.S. TAG CHAMPS

THE TENNESSEE STUD STABLE: MUSIC CITY BOWL CHAMPS

THE WRECKING CREW: CONTINENTAL TAG CHAMPS

TEAM #1

THE TENNESSEE STUD STABLE

(Tommy Rich & Eddie Gilbert)

The first team to come out is the Stud Stable and they are as arrogant as ever and to bring extra heat, Austin Idol is escorting them out.

TEAM #2

JIMMY VALIANT & THE DREAM MACHINE

As Rich and Gilbert are waiting in the ring, the speakers start to blare “The Boy From New York City” and the crowd explodes. Valiant may be goofy and unpredictable but when he is on the fans side, they love him. Together with Dream Machine. They

 

As the match gets under way, there is no chain wrestling, no running the ropes and nothing that looks like wrestling. It is a brawl from the get go. While Dream Machine and Gilbert are going at it in the ring, Idol jumps up on the apron and trips Dream. Dream gets up and turns towards Idol which distracts the ref and Wildfire tosses Hot Stuff Eddie Gilbert a pair of brass knuckles!

 

WHAM!

 

Jimmy Valiant outsmarts the heels and beats Gilbert to the punch. As Gilbert is putting on the knucks, Valiant comes up from behind and low blows Gilbert. Dream Machine turns to see a stooped over Gilbert and connects with a DDT for the WIN!

 

This craziness is whey the love the Boogie Woogie Man but they still have 3 matches left to go to move on.

 

TEAM #3

THE HIROSHIMA WRECKING CREW with LARS ANDERSON

(Tsurata & Tenryu)

Too bad for Dream Machine and Jimmy Valiant that this second team has it all. They can wrestle. They can brawl and they are fresh. We get about 8 good minutes of Dream and Valiant selling to the superior wrestlers until Jumbo Tsurata catches Dream Machine with a Bridging German Suplex for the win.

 

TEAM #4

THE FAB ONES

No sexy entrance for the Fab Ones here as the rush to the ring to try and catch the “tired” Wrecking Crew before they have had a chance to regroup. This strategy didn’t necessary work as we get almost 16 minutes of fast paced, technical wrestling with its share of double team moves and haymakers. Lars does little to get involved here and he keeps pointing to his waist as he is predicting World Titles in his team’s future.

 

In the end, we see the Wrecking Crew move on as Lane missed on a missile dropkick and Tenryu picked him up and climbed to the second rope!

 

Jim Ross: Uh oh…. We have seen this before!

 

WHAM!

 

A second rope powerbomb for the win.

 

Lance Russell: Wow, this Wrecking Crew is tough! Two wins in a row and now we all know who is next.

 

TEAM #5

THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS

Poor Jim Cornette. He made the mistake of slapping Jumbo while the action had spilled outside the ring. This set Lars off and an angry Lars is something to be seen. Lars chases Cornette up the ramp and now the two teams are on their own. The Wrecking Crew should be out of energy after two tough matches. SHOULD BE BUT THEY ARE NOT.

 

They are giving the Express everything they could handle and more but it seemed like their luck runs out as Tenryu gets caught in the wrong corner. After a pretty good double teaming, Beautiful Bobby thinks he has his opponent hurt and climbs the ropes for the Alabama Jammer but nobody was home!

 

A quick tag to Jumbo who JUST TAKES CARE OF BUSINESS.

 

Tenryu recovers enough and we go a little bonzo gonzo with the Hiroshima Wrecking Crew in complete control. Jim Cornette rushes down to the ring with Lars still in pursuit. He enters the ring.

 

BIG MISTAKE!

 

Jumbo scoops him up and

 

WHAM!

 

Samoan drop from the nearly 6’6 monster.

 

Condrey sees his chance and rushes at Jumbo.

 

WHAM!

 

Big Boot to Condrey’s face as Jumbo turned around in plenty of time.

 

Eaton is just recovering from his missed Alabama Jam but Jumbo is ready!

 

WHAM!

 

JUMPING KNEE STRIKE TO THE HEAD AND EATON IS OUT!

 

1…

2…

3!

 

Jim Ross: I tried to warn everyone about the carnage! I mean the Hiroshima Wrecking Crew has left bodies all over the Tennessee State Fairgrounds! Beware Road Warriors. This team is not to be messed with!

HARLEY RACE: UWF SOUTHERN CHAMPION

HACKSAW REED: USWA U.S. CHAMPION

MARTY JONES: CENTRAL STATES TV CHAMPION

SWEET BROWN SUGAR: CENTAL STATES CHAMPION

STEVE “DR. DEATH” WILLIAMS: MUSIC CITY BOWL CHAMPION

VLAD “THE RUSSIAN HAMMER”: UWF TV CHAMPION

WRESTLER #1

VLAD “THE RUSSIAN HAMMER”

Oh the heat that one man waving a Russian flag can bring in 1985!

 

 

WRESTLER #2

MARTY JONES

Marty cautiously enters the ring but tries a sneak attack as Vlad puts the flag away. Jones is throwing everything but the kitchen sink but Vlad no sells each and every move. Vlad whips him into the ropes and goes for the Russian Sledgehammer but Jones ducks under and comes off for a cross body block which takes Vlad down. We now see Jones get a little shine here and both announcers point out that this is the toughest match Vlad has had to date.

 

After a few minutes Vlad simply “muscles up” as he had enough. This time, he hits Jones with a clubbing forearm before he whips him into the ropes!

 

WHAM!

 

RUSSIAN SLEDGE HAMMER AND JONES IS FINISHED!

 

WRESTLER #3

DAVID SAMMARTINO with FEDDIE BLASSIE & TEDDY MUSCLES

David comes in very confident and goes right to the face of Vlad and pokes him with an index finger to the chest.

 

WHAM!

 

Massive forearm to the neck by Vlad!

 

An Irish Whip and

 

WHAM!

 

RUSSIAN SLEDHAMMER AND SAMMARTINO IS FINISHED!

 

WRESTLER #4

HARLEY RACE with FREDDIE BLASSIE & TEDDY MUSCLES

 

Vlad is pumped and has his attention on Race as the former NWA champ makes his way to the ring. This allows Teddy Muscles to enter the ring. Teddy is even bigger and stronger then Vlad and he comes right up behind him and connects with a nasty Belly to Belly suplex! Vlad is in a bad way and the fans love it.

 

Both Lance and Jim Ross wonder when the last time Blassie’s stable received any cheers but they were loving it. The ref could do nothing about it as this was between matches so there was no DQ.

 

Harley Race simply comes in and connects with a few of those amazingly high, high suplexes for the win!

 

 

WRESTLER #5

SWEET BROWN SUGAR

Sugar starts off on fire with a series of missile dropkicks but Blassie trips him up. Race takes advantage and soon gets the tainted win with the Diving Headbutt.

 

WRESTLER #6

BAM BAM BIGELOW

This is the longest bout so far as it goes nearly 20 minutes. Ross and Russell can’t believe the conditioning of Race as this is his third bout and he still looks fresh. They are also amazed at the athleticism of the big man from New Jersey! Race whips Bigelow into the ref and he is out.

 

 

Ross warns us that here comes Teddy Muscles and Bigelow is in trouble.

 

Teddy tells Race to hold Bigelow and he does. Teddy hits the ropes and comes off with a nasty spear from the big man.

 

The only problem was that it was on Race as Bigelow escaped at the last minute.

 

WHAM!

 

Bigelow hits Teddy Muscles with an ear-popping Enzuigiri kick that knocked him right out of the ring.

 

Bigelow turns on Race and scoops him up for an Over-the-Shoulder Piledriver for the win.

 

Ross and Russell must have played that replay over and over again as they were in awe of that move!

 

WRESTLER #7

HACKSAW BUTCH REED with ERNIE LADD

As you can tell by now, the UWF is the home of the big man and here we go again. The annoying chant of “We Are….. The Nation…. Of DOMINATION begins to play over and over again.

 

This one doesn’t disappoint as we have power move after power move as both men awe the crowd but neither can get the win. Once again, the ref got a little close to the action and went down. Neither man slowed down but the action did spill outside.

 

As Bigelow stumbled to his feet ……

 

WHAM!

 

The 6’9 Ernie Ladd knocks Bigelow out cold with a Big Boot.

 

 

DING DING DING

 

Too bad for the Nation of Domination. The ref saw the move by Ladd and DQ’s Reed. Reed is furious and tosses Bigelow in.

 

Lance Russell: By golly Reed is strong. He just Gorilla Press Slams the big 350 pounder! Ladd picks Bigelow up by his head and holds him up.

 

WHAM

 

Reed almost separates Bigelow’s body from his head with a Running Lariat.

 

Ladd and Reed leave a crumbled Bigelow laying in the ring.

 

 

WRESTLER #8

TED DIBIASE

Dibiase simple walks in and covers Bigelow for the three count.

 

WRESTLER #9

STEVE “DR. DEATH” WILLIAMS

Dibiase is laughing now as Williams, a fellow Rat Packer, comes to the ring. Dibiase, the leader of the Rat Pack, is sure that Williams will just lie down for him. As Williams comes into the ring, he shakes the hand of Dibiase who seems to be going over the plan on how Dibiase will win the Gauntlet Match.

 

He tells Dr. Death to simply lay on the mat and Dibiase will cover him for the three count. You can tell that Dr. Death is not happy with this plan and the fans start to cheer him on.

 

This infuriated Dibiase who is getting impatient with Williams.

 

After Williams refuses again, Dibiase, hands on his hips, turns to the crowd and stares and the ceiling. He is WHITE HOT!

 

Dr. Death makes the throat slashing sign and the crowd explodes. As Dibiase turns back to Dr. Death…..

 

 

WHAM!

 

Williams hits Dibiase with maybe the best football tackle ever!

 

Williams hooks the leg and gains the pin fall as Ross and Russell are in disbelief.

 

Jim Ross: Bah Gawd…. The Rat Pack is Dead! The Rat Pack is dead!

 

Lance Russell hypes up what we just saw and reminds us to tune in Monday for World Championship Night here at the Tennessee State Fair.

“Yello again everybody. I am Lance Russell and my partner tonight is Jim Ross. This truly has been the greatest week in UWF history as all of the promotions have come together for this wrestling spectacular and tonight is the culmination. Three huge World Title Matches are on tab for us here in Nashville at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds!t!

 

UWF WORLD 6 MAN TAG TITLE

The Tennessee Stud Stable (Tommy Rich & Eddie Gilbert) & Big John Stud

Vs

The Rock N Roll Express & Ricky Gibson

An energy filled match that goes nearly 20 minutes and each wrestler gets some love. It starts out with the baby faces being one step ahead of everything the heels do. With some running of the ropes and great technical wrestling and some really cool reverses, the heels are so frustrated that they are kicking the ropes in anger.

 

That is until Big John actually catches Ricky Gibson who went for a cross body block which leads to a huge slam from the nearly 7 footer and we head to the face in peril segment.

 

Ross and Russell think the end is near but with amazing agility, Gibson bounces off the ropes and makes a tag to Ricky Morton. It doesn’t matter who the tag was to, we got all 6 in the ring in a hurry and the babyfaces are back in control.

 

Double Drop kick to Stud and he stumbles through the ropes.

 

Double back body drop to Rich and he is on the ground arching his back!

 

Gilbert is surrounded as we hear Jim Ross telling us to get ready; we have seen this move before.

 

The Rock n Roll Express and Ricky Gibson hit the ropes and come off at the same time and connect with a

 

TRIPLE DROP KICK TO ALL DIFFERENT SIDES OF HOT STUFF’S HEAD!

 

Ricky Morton goes for the cover but Wildfire comes to make the save….

 

WHAM

 

Double Drop Kick by the Gibson brothers!

 

1…

2…

3.

 

Jim Ross: AND WE HAVE NEW 6 MAN TAG CHAMPIONS

UWF WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE

The Road Warriors with Paul Ellering vs The Hiroshimo Wrecking Crew ( Genoichiro Tenryu& Jumbo Tsurata) with Lars Anderson

Lance Russell: We are about to see a TRUE WORLD TITLE MATCH as we have the best North America has to offer vs the Best of the East! This might be the first time the Road Warriors are looking across the ring at their equals.

 

Jim Ross: And don’t forget those two masterminds on the outside. Ellering or Lars may have something to say about this before all is said and done.

 

The first few minutes if the match goes hot and heavy where both sides hit some big moves but nothing earth shattering. We then get a few minutes where each team is trying to play some mind games to show their domination… strength contests and some submission holds by the Wrecking Crew but we are still basically where we started.

 

NOW THE WAR IS ON…. POWER MOVE AFTER POWER MOVE

 

Lariats, Suplexes, and Powerbombs!.

 

While these were all huge moves, each partner was prepared to make the save.

 

After Lars tripped up Hawk, the Hiroshima Wrecking Crew takes over and we almost had new champs as Tenryu connected with a Folding Powerbomb but Paul Ellering placed Hawk’s leg on the bottom rope.

 

Eventually we go bonzo gonzo here and the Road Warriors caught both members of the Wrecking Crew with Lariats!

 

DOOMSDAY DEVICE ON GENICHIRO FOLLOWED BY DOOMSDAY DEVICE ON JUMBO!

 

HAWK COVERS GENOCHIRO AND ANIMAL COVERS JUMBO!

 

The ref is unsure what to do so he just decides to make a count as at least two of them are the legal men.

 

1…

2…

3.!

 

Jim Ross: Wow, if the Wrecking Crew can’t beat the Road Warriors, who can? The Road Warriors are still the UWF World Tag Team Champions.

 

 

UWF UNIFIED WORLD CHAMPION

JERRY “THE KING” LAWLER VS STEVE “DR. DEATH” WILLIAMS

After what we saw earlier this week when Dr. Death turned on Ted Dibiase, you would expect him to get a little love form the fans but this is Tennessee and Jerry Lawler is THE KING!

 

As far as the match goes, Lawler is the better technical wrestler and catches Williams in moves like the abdominal stretch and the full nelson. The problem here is that Lawler doesn’t have the power to hold the moves. Williams is a BEAST. He simply flips Lawler over in the Ab Stretch and squeezes his way out of the full nelson.

 

Williams controls the next part of the match but he becomes frustrated after Lawler escapes a few pin attempts some big moves like a football tackle and powerslam.

 

Williams now brought in the rough stuff but this is right up Lawler’s ally! Eventually the King is on top again and the crowd goes nuts as he drops the strap on the singlet. A middle rope fist drop!

 

WHAM!

 

Lawler goes for the cover and to the shock of everyone, Williams powers out on 1!

 

Lawler knows he needs some bigger moves so he goes for the piledriver but Williams flips him over his back.

 

Williams connects with a bodyslam!

 

2 count!

 

Football Tackle!

 

2 ½ Count!

 

Frustrated, Dr. Death Scoops up Lawler and starts to run!

 

WHAM! OKLAHOMA STAMPEDE!

 

Jim Ross: Oh my, an Oklahoma Sooner will soon be champ.

 

Williams covers Lawler as the crowd starts a groan!

 

1…

2…

 

CRACK!

 

Jim Ross: Bah Gawd! The Devil has just hit Dr. Death with a chair and that Devil is Ted Dibiase

 

The ref calls for the bell and Dr. Death is awarded the match but by DQ so no Title Change.

 

Dibiase is gloating and playing up his revenge to the crowd. Jerry Lawler looks at Dibiase and then he looks at Dr. Death.

 

Lawler loves to win but not like this.

 

WHAM! WHAM! WHAM!

 

Lawler lays out Dibiase.

 

Lawler now goes over to Dr. Death and helps him up and the two shake hands as the crowd goes nuts!

 

Jim Ross: Dr. Death did not gain the title tonight but he has gained millions of new admires this week at Music City Mayhem!

 

Lance Russell: What a week of wrestling this has been! So long from Nashville!

Hello again everybody. Welcome to Power Pro Wrestling, coming to you from Shreveport, Louisiana and the Irish McNeil’s Boys Club. I am Jim Ross and my partner today is Cowboy Bill Watts. We have got to get right to the video tape from Lake Front Arena in New Orleans and the big Loser Leave Town Title Match for the North American Title between Ted Dibiase and Steve “Dr. Death Williams.

It obvious that both Dibiase and Williams are exhausted by neither will give an inch. As the ref admonishes Williams for a closed fist in the corner, Dibiase loads up the black glove. Williams rushes in and Dibiase swings!

 

Wham!

 

Dibiase’s punch is blocked and Dr. Death keeps shoulder blocking him into the corner. Dibiase stumbles out and Williams scoops him up!

 

Oklahoma Stampede and we have a new champ!

 

Jim Ross: That’s right folks, we have a new champ and the Rat Pack as we knew it is dead! Dibiase is banned from the UWF! Eric Embry is AWOL!

 

Dr. Death comes out to loud applause and he is all amped up until Skandar Akbar hits the scene.

 

 

SUMMARY SHOW TO GET US BACK ON TRACK AFTER MUSIC CITY MAYHEM

 

 

ANGLE #2: Mr. Wrestling II and Shane Douglas turning on JYD in Nashville to collect the $25,000 bounty on JYD.

 

Jim Ross is upset that Shane Douglas and Mr. Wrestling II turned on JYD in Nashville just to collect the $25,000.

 

Mr. Wrestling II: I have learned many things over the years but one of the most important is the idea that a penny saved is a penny earned. I did not collect the bounty on JYD. I placed the bounty on JYD. That’s write I am the John who has been sending all those letters. I got sick and tired of JYD begging for my help and not saying thank you. You fans keep cheering for him and don’t see that it is people like me who keeps carrying him! Never once has he even asked what my name is. That is the least he could have done in the locker room. I have been in this industry for a long time and I got plenty of friends in wrestling. Each and everyone one of them calls me John, Johnny Walker! And now we won’t have to see JYD around here anymore. We broke his face so bad he will be eating through a straw for months and after that he will be wearing a mask so nobody has to see his broken face!

 

ANGLE #3: The Midnight Express win the U.S. Tag Title from Ronnie Garvin and Terry Taylor as Bobby Eaton threw a fireball in the face of Ronnie Garvin.

 

First of all, Ronnie Garvin is going to be out for a few weeks as he suffered some pretty bad burns. This means for now, Terry Taylor is going to go it alone and work as a single wrestler until Garvin is back and they can seek revenge on the Midnight Express.

 

Second, we saw a video of an irate Jimmy Garvin going after Jim Cornette in the parking lot as he is seeking revenge for the attack on his brother. Jimmy might have taken this too far as he hit a Brainbuster on Cornette on the concrete. Cornette is in a neckbrace and Cowboy Jim Watts lets us know that while he understood the anger Jimmy Garvin was feeling, he could not condone such an attack outside of the ring. Watts said he had no choice but to suspend Jimmy Garvin indefinitely.

 

ANGLE #4: Dusty Rhodes & Vlad “the Russian Hammer”

 

Dusty is fuming from the attack by Vlad at Nashville and he really hypes up the USA vs Russia thing. We find out that in two weeks, Dusty will face Vlad for the UWF World TV title!

 

ANGLE #5: Austin Idol’s Heel Turn

 

Austin comes out with Tommy Rich and Ron Fuller and they are really laughing it up about how stupid Jerry Lawler and Superstar Bill Dundee are to believe that Idol was actually on their side. They vowed to take the Midget out and then focus on taking Lawler’s World title. We also find out the Eddie Gilbert has suddenly left the area but Fuller says not to fear. He is recruiting hard and his stable is about to grow. Fuller says his new army will be known as the Fuller Fabulous Ones.

 

Later Dundee was at the interview desk with Lawler where Lawer apologized to Dundee for trusting Idol. They also vowed revenge and everything from the Memphis group seems back to normal which means nobody knows what is going to happen.

 

 

Angle #6: UWF WORLD TAG TITLE

 

Paul Ellering came out to the interview desk and basically did an “I told you so” interview where he truly believes that there isn’t a team in the UWF that can handle Animal and Hawk. Jim Ross did rattle off a few names but Ellering simple scoffed at them.

 

ANGLE #7: UWF TV Schedule

 

We find out that next week, the UWF will be premiering a new show titles Crossfire.

UWF WORLD TV CHAMPION: VLAD THE RUSSIAN HAMMER

 

 

Hello again everybody. Welcome to Crossfire, the brand new weekly UWF Wrestling show. I am Lance Russell and I am so excited to have my old partner, Dave Brown back with me. We are coming to you today from the Houston County Farm Center in Dothan, Alabama. Well we have some big changes for you UWF Wrestling fans.

 

Dave Brown: That’s right Lance. In order to give you the past action, Cowboy Bill Watts, Ron Fuller and Jerry Jarrett have decided all wrestler will be under the UWF with no separation by territory. This will allow the people throughout the country to see all the big stars the UWF has to offer! The UWF will run two weekly TV shows. Crossfire as you see here and Power Pro which will follow tomorrow.

 

 

MATCH

The Southern Boys (Steve Armstrong & Tracy Smothers) defeat The Midnight Cowboys (Duke Myers & Kerry Brown in masks)

The fans here in Alabama are very familiar with the Southern Boys are were behind them 100%. The end came when Smothers followed up Armstrong’s Jawbreaker with a Southern Kick (Spinning Superkick). At the interview desk, The Southern Boys were joined by Bob Armstrong where they let everyone know that they are not happy with a lot of the goings on in the UWF. They focused on Jim Cornette and his Midnight Express!

 

This quickly brought out Jim Cornette where he says the Southern Boys must be out of their minds as they have been around for about a minute and they are already challenging the greatest tag team in wrestling today. He warns them to watch they are saying or they just might get burned.

 

This reference to the fireball which took out Ronnie Garvin really set Bob Armstrong off but caller heads prevail.

MATCH:

WENDELL COOLEY DEFEATS LEO SEITZ WITH A RUNNING BULLDOG

COMMERCIAL

The chant of We Are… The Nation…. Of Domination starts to play as the United States Champion, Hacksaw Butch Reed comes to the interview desk along with the leader of the Nation, Ernie Ladd.

 

Ernie Ladd: We told all you rednecks that Hacksaw was going to take the title from Terry Gordy and that is exactly what happened. There is nobody in the UWF man enough to stand up to Hacksaw and just you watch what is going to happen to this loser in the ring right now!

 

MATCH

Hacksaw Butch Reed with Ernie Ladd destroys jobber Mike Stone.

The problem came when Hacksaw just continued to beat Stone after the match was over.

 

Lance Russell: Oh come on. Enough is enough. Somebody has got to put a stop to this or poor Mike Stone may suffer permanent injuries.

 

The crowd explodes as Terry Taylor rushes to the ring.

 

WHAM!

 

Taylor has cleared Hacksaw from the ring and Ernie Ladd and Hacksaw are on the outside thinking of their next move. Taylor is daring them to come back but it looks like the Nation has been dominated today by Terry Taylor.

COMMERCIAL

THE KIWI SHEEPHERDERS DESTROY BILLY STONE & TOM STAR

Before our next match, “Dangerous” Danny Davis stops at the interview desks and lets the people know that they have never seen anyone with more ability then he has and they are in for a treat. As he makes his way to the ring both Lance Russell and Dave Brown wonder who that guy was.

 

MATCH

ROY LEE WELCH MAKES QUICK WORK OF “DANGEROUS” DANNY DAVIS WITH THE FULLER LEGLOCK

At the interview desk. Roy says he is here in the UWF to try and help his family reunite. Lance reminds us all that Roy is a cousin to the Fullers and the Goldens. Lance continues to explain that Ron Fuller has split from his brother Robert and cousin Jimmy Golden and sided with Austin Idol and Tommy Rich.

 

COMMERCIAL

Before the main event match, Superstar Bill Dundee and the UWF World Champ, Jerry “The King” Lawler stop by the interview desk where they hype up their match for this Monday night in the Boutwell Auditorium against Tommy Rich and Austin Idol. They also warn Ron Fuller not to stick his nose in where it doesn’t belong.

MAIN EVENT

SUPERSTAR BILL DUNDEE VS “NATURE BOY” BUDDY LANDELL

We get a three-part match here as Buddy Landell begins playing the afraid heel that eventually gets caught by the babyface. Dundee has him time on top now as Landell does a great job of bumping and selling. Eventually, Landell uses some questionable tactics and gets his turn with the momentum. In the end, Dundee no sells some big haymakers from Landell and the Superstar has the crowd ready for him to go wild but Tommy Rich and Austin Idol with Ron Fuller hit the ring. It is now 4-1 and Dundee takes a pretty good beating until the cavalry of Jerry Lawler and the Southern Boys hit the ring. Fuller and his boys head for the hills but the microphone does pick up Ron Fuller shouting to Buddy Landell.

 

Ron Fuller: Hey Nature Boy, Welcome to the Fuller Fab Ones!

 

Lance Russell: Oh it can’t be. It is like a brand new Rat Pack is born. Tommy Rich, Austin Idol and Buddy Landell together with Ron Fuller. This could mean some real trouble for the World Champ and the rest of the UWF. Well don’t forget to join us Birmingham this week and see if Superstar Dundee is ok and able to get revenge with Jerry Lawler on the Fuller Fab Ones. So lonf from Dothan!

DUSTY RHODES DEFEATS VERLON BIGGS WITH A BIONIC ELBOW

Dusty Rhodes: In just one week, we will see the end of this Russian Hammer walking around here with our TV title. Yes, Vlad is big! Yes, Vlad is strong! Yes Vlad is undefeated since coming to the UWF. Well that is all going to change. Vlad, you have never been in the ring with the American Dream. I am going to show you that America never quits. America never slows down. America always comes out on top. Next week, right here on TV, I am going to beat you so bad that you are going to wish you never left the hell hole you call a country. This is the land of the free. The home of the brave and the land of the AMERICAN DREAM, DUSTY RHODES.

FACES OF FEAR WITH SKANDAR AKBAR DESTROY JERRY MORALES & DOUG FLYNN

At the interview desk, we have Akbar demanding one more shot at the Road Warriors and the World Titles but all of a sudden Stan Hansen & Bruiser Brody come out.

 

Both Watts and Ross hype up their appearance but hope that calmer heads will prevail.

 

Both Hansen and Brody say they are back in the UWF for one thing and that is the UWF World Tag Titles. They keep hearing about how tough the Road Warriors are but they believe they are the toughest two dudes in all of pro wrestling. They are also sick and tired of Akbar demanding things. Hansen says enough is enough and that the Faces of Fear have already had their chances and now it is time to step aside.

 

Needless to say, neither team is backing down and we find out from Cowboy Bill Watts that in two weeks we will have a number one contender’s bout. To get the hyping underway, the two teams have a wild brawl as we head to break.

Hello again everybody. Welcome to Power Pro Wrestling, coming to you from Lafayette, Louisiana and the Cajundome. I am Jim Ross and my partner today is Cowboy Bill Watts. What a main event we have for you tonight as Dusty Rhodes seeks revenge on Vlad “the Russian Hammer” in a UWF World TV Title Match.

 

Cowboy Bill Watts: That’s right Jim tonight is going to be great and so is the entire month of October which will conclude with Halloween Howl II in the Louisiana Superdome on October 31. Once again, Halloween Howl will include a $50,000 Tag Team Tournament where the winner will not only win the cash but will leave the Superdome win the UWF World Tag Titles.

 

MATCH

THE FACES OF FEAR WITH SKANDAR AKBAR DESTROY PETE AUSTIN & KEN DILLINGER

At the interview desk, Akbar praises his team and says that there is nothing that can stand in their way from winning Halloween Howl and taking the money and the World Titles from the Road Warriors. Jim Ross tells Akbar not to get to far ahead of himself as his team has a huge #1 contender’s match against Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen in Baton Rouge this week. This really gets Akbar going and he is convinced his men will crush the over the hill Brody and Hansen.

 

COMMERCIAL

Before their match, Shane Douglas and Mr. Wrestling II stop by the interview desk and talk about how much better the UWF is without that mangy JYD. This really brings some heat from the fans but Douglas and II seem to enjoy that. II still seems very bitter that JYD got more love from the fans.

MATCH

SHANE DOUGLAS WITH MR. WRESTLING II DEFEAT MIKE GRAHAM

Graham was really having his way with the young Douglas in this match as he just had to much experience and technical skill. Douglas got frustrated and tossed Graham to the floor. Here we see Wrestling II load up that knee brace and knock Graham senseless. II rolled him back into the ring and Douglas hit a double hook suplex for the win.

 

It was after the match, that II ordered Douglas to continue putting it on Graham. Together II and Douglas really laid in to Mike until the crowd exploded and Hacksaw Duggan hit the ring. It didn’t matter if it was 2-1 when you are carrying your trusty 2 x 4. II and Douglas ran for the hills as Duggan got a hold of the microphone.

 

Hacksaw Jim Duggan: I would like to say I am sorry to all the fans. I was not there to help JYD and now he is hurt. Hurt real bad. I let that jealous, over the hill Mr. Wrestling II and this young punk, Shane Whatever his name is, come after JYD week after week and I was too blind to see it. Well now, I am not going to allow it to continue. Tonight, those two tried to hurt another good guy, Mike Graham and I was a second too late. Next time, I will be early and this 2 x 4 is going to find both of your heads! I guarantee it!

Skandar Akbar: I have been all around the world in search of the biggest and the baddest man in all the world to come and take control of the UWF! Well I have found him and we are demanding a North American Title shot against Steve “Dr. Death” Williams.

 

Cowboy Bill Watts: Oh come on Akbar. You want us to give you a title shot against someone we have not even seen. We are supposed to take your word.

 

Skandar Akbar: I will tell you one thing, until we get a title shot, there will be a lot of bodies left laying all around the UWF. You have been warned!

 

All of a sudden we here drums start to beat…..

 

Jim Ross: Oh Bah Gawd! Business is about to pick up. That is the Ugandan Giant….. Kamala

 

MATCH

KAMALA WITH SKANDAR AKBAR AND FRIDAY SQUASH AL GOODWIN

A few overhand chops followed up by a Giant Splash from the 6’7 400 pounder had Goodwin done in seconds but Akbar continued to have Kamala smack his belly and hit Giant Splash after Giant Splash. Finally, the locker room emptied but it was overhand chop to anyone who tried to get in his way. Eventually Friday was able to calm him down but Jim Ross could n’t stop talking about the carnage Kamala left. Goodwin left on a stretcher and there were bodies littering the ring.

MAIN EVENT MATCH

UWF WORLD TV TITLE MATCH

VLAD “THE RUSSIAN HAMMER” VS “THE AMERICAN DREAM” DUSTY RHODES

This one is truly good vs evil and the fans are on the edge of their seats. Dusty, with pure heart, is standing up to the powerful Vlad. Vlad, still learning, depends on a few bodyslams and forearms but Dusty makes him look good as he is selling all over the place. On the other hand, Vlad’s inability to sell adds to his unbeatable mystique. We do have a few momentum changes and this one actually includes a commercial break. Finally…..

 

Vlad is throwing haymaker after haymaker with Dusty selling each one a little less and less until the monster’s attack has no impact on the American Dream.

 

Bionic Elbow …. 2 count

 

Bionic Elbow …. 2 ½ Count

 

Bionic Elbow …. 2 ¾ Count

 

Jim Ross: Dusty has Vlad up for a big Texas sized piledriver and the Russian’s win streak is about to come to a painful end.

 

 

WHAM! WHAM! WHAM!

 

Jim Ross: Look out!

 

The fans, Jim Ross and Cowboy Watts are in shock. There is silence coming from the microphones and a quiet murmur of disbelief from the fans. Nikita Koloff has hit the ring and nailed Dusty Rhodes with a Russian Sickle. Nikita is so muscular, he makes Vlad look small. Dusty is lying motionless! A few seconds later, the Russian Bear, Ivan Koloff hits the ring with his big chain. He wraps the chain around the neck of Dusty and begins to choke him out.

 

Jim Ross: I think the Russians are going to kill the American Dream. We need some help out here quickly. Dusty is going out. He can’t breath!

Hello again everybody. Welcome to Crossfire! I am Lance Russell along with my partner, Dave Brown. We are coming to you today from the Cajundome in Lafayette, Louisiana.

 

Lance Russell: Well let’s get right to the video tape from this past week at the Boutwell Auditorium in Birmingham, Alabama where it was Jerry Lawler & Superstar Dundee vs Tommy Rich & Austin Idol with Ron Fuller.

 

 

 

In the video, Jerry Lawler appears on the verge of beating Wildfire Rich as he is poised on the middle rope and set to deliver his fist drop. Austin Idol rushes the ring with perfect timing to disrupt the ref. As the ref turned, the newest member of Fuller’s Fab Ones, Buddy Landell rushed down and tossed Lawler off the rope where he landed awkwardly. Superstar Dundee took off after Landell which allowed Rich time to reach into his trunks and clock Lawler with a foreign object and the victory.

 

After the video, Fuller’s Fabulous Ones are at the interview desk where they are gloating about beating the So-Called World Champion and his midget partner. When questioned about their tactics by Lance Russell, they said he must have been watching something else. It was now Austin Idol’s turn to get on the microphone where he hyped up his World Title Match with Lawler for this week in the Mid-South Coliseum.

 

The King now comes out with a smirk on his face, crown on his head and title around his waist. Lawler takes control of the interview where he says that none of Fuller’s goons have the guts to fight a fair fight and that he will prove it! Lawler dares any of them to get in the ring right now!

THE KIWI SHEEPDERS CRUSH MIKE STONE & STEVE GRAVEL

MATCH

TERRY TAYLOR DEFEATS MAD DOG BOYD WITH A CHICKEN WING

Terry Taylor knows that Boyd is not Hacksaw Reed but that his last match is prove that size doesn’t matter. He warns Reed that his muscles can’t save him from the chicken wing and that he is sick and tired of The Nation… Of Domination…. Thinking they can do whatever they want around here.

 

Lance Russell agrees and thanks Taylor for giving Reed a bit of his own medicine last week as he whooped him all over the ring.

 

Dave Brown brings everyone back to reality when he says that Reed might be beatable but how can you stop both Reed and Ernie Ladd.

 

 

 

MATCH

THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS WITH JIM CORNETT DEFEAT THE DIXIE DYNAMITES WHEN EATON HITS AN ALABAMA JAMMER

Jim Cornette hypes up Halloween Havoc and how his team is going to walk out of the Superdome with not only their U.S Tag Championship but the World Tag Team Championship and the $50,000 cash!

 

The crowd explodes as the Southern Boys (Scott Armstrong & Tracy Smothers) come out and say they are sick and tired of the Midnight Express not giving them any respect.

 

Jim Cornette is laughing so hard he can barely contain himself and responds that respect is earned and not given and you boys who have been around here for less time than that pimple on Lance Russell have not come close to earning respect.

 

The Southern Boys are furious and make the mistake of turning their backs on the Midnight Express.

 

WHAM! WHAM!

 

Eaton connects with two tennis racket shots and the beating is on!

 

After a minute or two, the Rock n Roll Express rush out and make the save!

COMMERCIAL

After the break, Russell informs us that the Southern Boys should be ok and announces that the Midnight Express might get what they deserve this week in Memphis in a Triple Threat Match with the Southern Boys and the Rn R Express.

ROY LEE WELCH DEFEATS KERRY BROWN WITH THE FULLER LEGLOCK

Before our next match, “Dangerous” Danny Davis stops at the interview desks and lets the people know that they have never seen anyone with more ability then he has and they are in for a treat. As he makes his way to the ring both Lance Russell and Dave Brown wonder if this Danny Davis can last more than the 2 minutes he did last week.

 

MATCH

BOB ARMSTRONG MAKES EVEN QUICKER WORK OF “DANGEROUS” DANNY DAVIS WITH THE GEORGIA JAWBREAKER

At the interview desk. Armstrong makes it very clear that he is getting tired of Cornette and his guys going after his family and that he better not see Cornette in the parking lot or his head might just meet the cement.

COMMERCIAL

MAIN EVENT

JERRY LAWLER, JIMMY GOLDEN & SUPERSTAR BILL DUNDEE VS “NATURE BOY” BUDDY LANDELL, TOMMY RICH & AUSTIN IDOL WITH RON FULLER

A wild match that shows Ron Fuller trying to get involved as he tripped up Jimmy Golden. This caused his brother, Robert to rush out and go nuts on Ron. Golden tagged in the King who went to work on Buddy Landell and gained the victory with a middle rope fist drop followed by a piledriver.

 

Lance Russell reminds us that Ron Fuller will now be banned from ringside for the World Championship Match between Lawler and Idol this week and the Mid-South Coliseum. Jerry Jarrett makes another appearance and he is fuming about Ron Fuller’s interference in our last match and for that action he is going to wrestle this week in the Mid-South Coliseum against his brother Ron and that the two will be handcuffed together!

 

Lance Russell: So long from the Cajundome.
