UNIVERSAL WRESTLING FEDERATION (UWF)

[dawho5]

Schultz ambushing Warrior is a good way to jump-start that feud. The new look of the Blondes should add something fresh to the heel side of the card. Wright going after Brad can't be good. For Wright when Bullet Bob comes back that is. I'm not sure the Long Riders didn't bite off more than they could chew. I love the idea of Magnum putting Baba over on the mic. What a great way to get a foreigner over as a babyface.

(HOUR #1)

The show starts with a video montage of some of the big matches from this past week’s event at the Mid-South Coliseum.

• Honky Tonk Man beats Sam Houston with the Shake Rattle & Roll and then seems frustrated that Jerry Lawler never showed up so he busted a guitar over Houston’s head.
• Terry Taylor beat Dick Slater by DQ as the Midnight Express interfered in the UWF Continental Title Match
• The Rock n Roll Express beat The Midnight Express as Terry Taylor rushed to the ring to stop the tennis racket shot by Cornette on Gibson. This allowed the RnR Express to hit the double dropkick on Condrey for the win in this NWA National Tag Team Title Match.
• Lex Luger & Eddie Gilbert wrestled to a double DQ as both men brawled over all the arena in this UWF Southern Title Match. Baby Doll got fed up with Missy Hyatt’s dirty tactics and clocked her with a big right hand.

Hello everybody. Welcome to UWF Wrestling. We are coming to you from the Mobile Civic Center in beautiful Mobile, Alabama. I am Jim Ross and my partner today is Cowboy Bill Watts. Well Bill, three big title matches in the Mid-South Coliseum and all 3 champs keep their belts.

 

Cowboy Bill Watts: That’s right Jim but it bothers me that Cornette thinks that rules don’t apply to him and he can send in his troops to interfere anytime he wants. I mean Terry Taylor could be the Continental Champion right now if it wasn’t for the Midnight Express.

 

Jim Cornette comes out and is visible upset.

 

Jim Cornette: Watts, you have just crossed the line! I mean for weeks you have pushed right up against the line but now you have crossed it. You have slandered me and my stable saying we are the cause of that inept Terry Taylor not being the Continental Champ. Have you ever thought that Dick Slater is just that much better?

 

Cowboy Bill Watts: I honestly don’t know who is better because you don’t seem to let a match play out. From the interference to the tennis racket, you have schemed your way through the UWF.

 

Jim Cornette: After Mother’s lawyers are through with you it be the CWA… Cornette’e Wrestling Association and your cowboy hat will become a hat in the hand as you beg me for a job!

 

Cowboy Bill Watts: Well I am glad that neither of us have changed. You are still a little crybaby and I am still the match maker around here and this week in Nashville it will be The Midnight Express and Dick Slater vs the Rock n Roll Express in Terry Taylor…. With you suspended above the ring in a steel cage!

 

Jim Cornette: Are you out of your mind… do you think I am some sort of wild animal.

 

Cowboy Bill Watts: Well if you think a weasel is a wild animal, then you are a wild animal. Now let me finish. If your team wins, the Midnight Express will get another title shot against the Rock n Roll Express at the Great American Bash on July 4^th at the Louisiana Superdome. If your opponents win, Terry Taylor will get a Continental Title Match at that event.

 

As Jim Cornette walks off, he seems to be deep in thought as he is a little unsure of how to act as this good work out real good for his stable or real bad.

 

 

Match:

DOOM (Hacksaw Butch Reed & Ron Simmons) defeat Homer O’Dell & Verlon Biggs when Simmons hit a powerslam in Biggs.

Two things that are becoming obvious are first, the crowd is loving Doom as they have gotten rid of the Nation of Domination and #2, Doom is one big and bad tag team that is going play a major role in the tag team division around here.

Match:

Eddie Gilbert with Missy Hyatt (sporting a black eye) beats DJ Peterson with the Hotshot

 

Missy Hyatt: Jim Ross, just look at me eye! I got sucker punched from a pretty big dude last week but I am still standing.

 

Jim Ross: I think you might have been hit harder than you think as you seem to have lost your memory. You weren’t hit by a dude but by Baby Doll.

 

Missy Hyatt: That’s what I said, a dude! Anybody that looks like that must ne a dude and one ugly dude at that!

 

Jim Ross: Ok, that’s enough of that.

 

Missy Hyatt: Look at me, I am used to telling men when that will be enough of that. I mean if that bleached blonde bimbo wants a real fight all she has to do is ask. I mean I could beat here in two minutes flat as Eddie Gilbert could beat Lex Loser in the same amount of time. Lex Loser knows Hotstuff would take that title like that so that is why he kept running out of the ring in Memphis.

 

Eddie Gilbert: That’s right Missy. There is no stopping us … and while Lex has all those muscles …. that is all he has. I would outsmart his pea brain and out wrestle him any day of the week.

 

Cowboy Bill Watts: Well unfortunately I can’t please both of you this week in Nashville as Lex is already scheduled to meet Killer Khan.

 

Missy and Eddie seem upset but that is nothing compared to what we are about to see

 

Cowboy Bill Watts: But Baby Doll is free so Missy, you will get your chance as you seem like you can beat her no problem.

 

The whining and screaming from Missy reaches an all-time high as she might have just written a check she can’t cash.

 

MATCH

Honky Tonk Ron Ferris beats Dixie Dynamite with the Shake Rattle & Roll

 

Honky Tonk Man: I told each and every one of you people last week that I am back in the UWF for one reason and one reason only and that is to beat that ingrate Jerry Lawler. He calls himself the King of Memphis and I dared him to come to Memphis to meet me. What happens? Just what I thought would happen… he no showed! Well this week, I will be in Nashville and I will again beat some Ham and Egger within an inch of his life and if your not to afraid Jerry Lawler, come on down to Music Town and let me play a tune on your skull.

 

COMMERCIAL

MATCH

Kendall Windham beats The Bounty Hunter with the Running Bulldog

When the match is over Kendall heads over to the interview desk where he is congratulated for his win by Jim Ross

 

Wham!

 

From out of nowhere, Honky Tonk Man had come up from behind as clocked Windham with a guitar.

 

Honky Tonk Man: Lawler! That one is for you. You might think your name is the biggest in the sport but that is only because you are an egotistical maniac! It took me all of 2 seconds to take out a Windham! Look at him Jim Ross… I think he is bleeding on your shoes. Lawler how long are you going to allow others to take the beatings meant for others. You are a yellow bellied coward just like we all know! This week in Nashville Lawler…. I got a guitar for you.

Jim Ross: Oh brother, get out of here HTM. We got another match and trust me, you better be gone before Windham gets up!

 

MATCH

The Hollywood Blondes (Buddy Landell & ?) with Luscious Johnny Valent defeat Mike Graham & Superstar Graham

Luscious Johnny led the Nature Boy out first and then went to introduce the newest member of the Blondes, Hollywood John Tatum. Tatum’s little act of playing the sleazy heel here allowed him to bring some major heat but there is no doubt that Landell’s talent can really shine with the trickery of Tatum and the dirty tactics of Luscious Johnny. Landell thanked Luscious Johnny for his new partner as the trio proclaimed that they are the next NWA National Tag team champions.

Before our next match, Jim Ross reminds us that last week, Exotic Adrian Street agreed to meet the Long Riders today with a mystery partner. The Long Riders are first to the ring and Exotic Adrian and Miss Linda strut to the podium where Street takes the microphone

 

Exotic Adrian Street: Well these two cowboys in the ring should have gotten on their horses and rode into the sunset because all I can say is this my partner tonight is going to put them to sleep for good.

 

Jim Ross: Well for your sake, he better be good or you might meet the same fate as you did at Memorial Day Bash.

 

Exotic Adrian Street: Well all I can say is imitation is the greatest form of flattery! Let’s meet the Adorable One! Adrian Adonis

 

Match

Exotic Adrian Street & Adorable Adrian Adonis with Miss Linda vs The Long Riders (Bass & Bart)

This one gets going before the bell sounds and is nothing but a brawl. At one time the action spilled to the outside as all 4 were beating on each other. Miss Linda, who has suffered herself at the hands of Bass and Bart is able to spray them both in the eyes with the perfume bottle. The Long Riders stagger back into the ring and the Exotic One and the Adorable One whip the cowboys into each other. As Bart and Bass stumble backwards, Street and Adonis catch them both in sleepers and it is Good Night Irene for both cowboys.

[spaldoni]

Oh Wow! What a way to end the show! Did not see Adonis coming in. This is huge! Honky Tonk is in full guitar swinging mode now. I love this build towards Lawler. I agree, I think Missy might of bitten of more than she can chew, messing with Baby Doll. Tatum and Landell led by Johnny V, could lead to gold. Seeds are planted for the Great American Bash between RnR, Taylor, The Midnights and Slater.

[SirEdger]

Perfect fit to put Adrian Adonis with Adrian Street. This is gonna be fun!

 

And I got a big kick out of Missy Hyatt's opening line in her promo!

[gordi]

Great show this week, top to bottom.

 

Watts and Corny play off each other perfectly.

 

It's great to see the crowd getting behind Reed & Simmons.

 

Honky calling out Lawler continues to be one of the best angles going.

 

And, like everyone else, I love seeing Double Adrians.

[GeneJackson95]

Great promos from Watts, Cornette, Missy, Gilbert, and Street...you've got them down, I could hear everyone of those being said in their voices as I read them.

 

The Missy/Baby Doll aspect makes the Luger/Gilbert angle much more fun than Luger's ring work at this time would have allowed it to be.

 

Wow, of all the partners Street could have brought out I wasn't expecting Adonis but it's perfect. Well done!

[dawho5]

Cornette and Watts could have 10 minute interviews with each other weekly and i wouldn't complain. Missy biting off more than she could chew is a great way to set up that match. I wonder if we get some good old fashioned heel male on babyface woman violence to ratchet up the heat. Honky randomly attacking people with the guitar is a great way to build him up. Tatum as a Hollywood Blonde is such a great choice. Adorable Adrian as the partner for Street is going to be hard to top.

(HOUR #2)

As the second hour begins, we see Ivan and Nikita Koloff are at the podium with a man in a red mask who is introduced to us as the Russian Assassin and Jim Ross plays a video from last week where we see the three Russians brawling against Magnum T.A., Giant Baba and Ole Anderson

 

Jim Ross: Ok, so what gives Ivan, who is this man.

 

Ivan Koloff: Why did you only play half of the video? This is typical American Propaganda. The man to my left is the Russian Assassin and he has been sent by Mother Russia to protect Nikita from the rest of the goons that Cowboy Bill Watts is sending to try and steal back the NWA belt.

 

Cowboy Bill Watts: Now wait a minute Koloff, I am sending nobody after you but I do hope that Nikita’s title reign is short lived. You people have no respect for the things I find near and dear to my heart like God and Country.

 

Ivan Koloff: Well explain to me why when Magnum T.A., Giant Baba and Ole Anderson attack us 3-2 and you do nothing about it. When Nikita attacked Rick Martel 1-1 you took away his UWF Title! American Double Standard I believe. Well now Nikita is the Champion and the KGB is here to protect him from all of your tricks.

 

Jim Ross: KGB? Come on

 

Ivan Koloff: Yes KGB… you think there is only one Russian Assassin? There are more then you can count and they come in all shapes and sizes but one thing is true. They are all deadly and on June 22 in the Omni, we will take care of Giant Baba one way or another.

 

 

Match

Haku with Skandar Akbar destroys Memphis Vice (Winstn & Bryant) in a Handicap Match as he caught both men with the Tongan Death Grip

At the interview desk, we see the rest of Devastation Inc (Steve Willaims, the Barbarian and the Warlord) come out where Akbar hypes up Haku as the most dangerous man in all of wrestling and also wonders where the Road Warriors have run to as they know that if they step in the ring with Dr. Death and the Barbarian again their will lose their NWA World Tag belts.

MATCH

Dick Murdoch with Ron Wright vs Superstar Graham

Murdoch gets the win here in a pretty good tv brawl as Ron Wright hit Graham with his “chisel” and Murdoch followed it up with the Brainbuster. Ron Fuller joins Wright and Murdoch at the interview desk were Murdoch hypes up his upcoming title match with Magnum T.A. in Nashville. Next, we are shown a video from the hospital of Bob Armstrong who let’s us know that he is doing better and hopes to be back real soon but his wincing faces makes people wonder if that is possible. Wright and Fuller come out and they are full of laughs at what they have done to Armstrong.

 

Jim Ross: You are full of laughs but last week in Memphis, we saw Brad Armstrong take you out as he and Jeff Jarrett beat you and Big Bubba Ottman right in the center of the ring.

 

Ron Wright: Come on Jim Ross: Watch the video tape. Armstrong and Jarrett broke ever rule in the book and the corrupt ref did nothing to stop it. Talk about the Unchristian World we live in.

 

Brad Armstrong rushes out and grabs the microphone:

 

Brad Armstrong: Ron Wright… everyone around here is sick and tired of you running your mouth and Robert Fuller… you call yourself the Tennessee Studd… well how about you and I get in the ring right now and show everyone which family is really top dog around here.

 

Brad goes to the ring as Jim Ross asks Fuller if he has the guts to answer the challenge.

 

Ron Fuller: Brad Armstrong you just keep proving what type of man you are… completely low class… I mean who would give away their product for free. I mean look at me… 6’5… 250 pounds… of pure man. I am the best looking thing this people in Alabama have Ever seen. No way am I getting it to that ring for free. I am way to pretty for TV but…

 

Ron Wright: But, we do have a member of our army ready to fight you… Killer Khan!

 

Match

Brad Armstrong vs Killer Khan

Give it to Brad. He never backed down against this monster and after taking a pretty good series of chops, kicks and nerve holds from the Oriental giant, Brad makes a comeback and out of nowhere, he hits a Russian Legsweep but before he can make the cover, Fuller and Murdoch hit the ring and Brad has no chance. Killer Khan sprays the green mist into the eyes of Brad and Murdoch follows it up with a Brainbuster before Fuller locks in the Fuller Leg Lock.

 

Eventually Jeff Jarrett, Magnum T.A., Ole Anderson and Giant Baba hit the ring as Wright’s Army dashes from the ring but the damage has already been done.

The segment begins with the UWF champ, Magnum T.A., Ole Anderson and Giant Baba at the podium where they are furious about all the happenings going on around here from what just happened to Brad Armstrong from Ron Wright to this new Russian Assassin running around lately with the Koloffs. T.A. promises he is going to put a beating on Murdoch this week in Nashville as revenge for Brad and Ole takes the microphone and says he can’t wait to see what Giant Baba does to Nikita Koloff in the Omni.

Match

Terry Taylor beats the Spoiler in a come from behind victory with the flying forearm smash

Taylor is joined by the Rock n Roll Express at the podium where they hype up their 6 man tag match against the Midnight Express and Slater this week in Nashville and the fact that when they win Taylor will get another Continental Title Match at the Great American Bash.

Match

Jeff Jarrett vs Brutus Beekcake

Brutus Beekcake pinned Jarrett after a Big Knee lift but the problem was that the ref had been knocked down and Ron Wright had come down and hit Jarrett with the Chisel.

 

After the match, a slow walking, rib bandaged, Bob Armstrong comes to the ring and the crowd explodes. The Bullet goes to the ref and explains what happened. The ref looks at ringside and has no idea why Ron Wright is there. He also notices the Brass Knuckles still on the right hand of Wright and reverses his decision and you can tell that Ron Wright is fuming.

 

Jim Ross: Sorry folks but we are out of time. We will have to get to the bottom of this next week.

[gordi]

The Asian Mist! I forgot that Khan had that in his arsenal.

[spaldoni]

You nailed that promo with Ivan Koloff, that's exactly how I remember him talking. Magnum, Ole and Baba are taking on everybody, leading to all sorts of great angles. I like seeing a fired up Brad Armstrong. I'm intrigued by the Nikita/Baba match coming up. I wonder if Nikita will be able to take Baba down with the sickle. Wright's Army is looking pretty strong. Awesome ending with Bullet Bob coming out.

[dawho5]

I loved Ivan complaining about the "cheating Americans". Such a great heel promo. Brad bit off more than he could chew, but he gave as good as he got. Saving Armstrong (Bob that is) until the very end was a great choice.

[LowBlowPodcast]

I concur with Ivan... he is the perfect mouthpiece at this point. I would like to see the visual of Magnum, Ole, and Baba... what an eclectic group lol... regardless their point is made and they are some of the prime time stars of the NWA right now.

[GeneJackson95]

KGB...that's awesome! I love the idea of having random "Russian Assassins" popping up to put road blocks between Nikita and the various challengers who will come out of the woodwork.

 

As mentioned, you have Ivan's promo down pat, great job...it really adds another dimension to Nikita as World Champion.

[gordi]

KGB...that's awesome! I love the idea of having random "Russian Assassins" popping up to put road blocks between Nikita and the various challengers who will come out of the woodwork.

 

 

Yeah, that's a great little detail. I guess it means (in kayfabe-breaking terms) that whoever is available on a given night can put on the red mask and make a few extra bucks.

HUNTSVILLE, AL

VON BRAUN CIVIC CENTER

(HOUR #1)

The show starts with a video montage of some of the big matches from this past week’s event at the Tennessee State Grounds in Nashville.

• Baby Doll wins by DQ against Missy Hyatt as Eddie Gilbert was hiding under the ring and as soon as the bell sounded he rushed out and come up from behind Baby Doll and connect with Hotshot. To add insult to injury, Hyatt than covered Baby Doll and Gilbert acting as the fake ref made the three-count. As Luger rushed down, Hyatt and Gilbert hightailed it out of the ring.
• Terry Taylor and the Rock n Roll Express beat Dick Slater and the Midnight Express with Cornette suspended above the ring in a steel cage as Cornette tried to drop the tennis racket down to Slater but Taylor caught it a clobbered Slater and then Taylor and the RnR Express connected with a triple dropkick for the win which guarantees Taylor a UWF Continental Title Match at the Great American Bash while it knocks the Midnight Express out of contention for the NWA National Tag Team Title Match at the same event.

Hello everybody. Welcome to UWF Wrestling. We are coming to you from the Von Braun Civic Center in beautiful Huntsville, Alabama. I am Jim Ross and my partner today is Cowboy Bill Watts. Let’s get right to the ring for our first match.

 

 

Match

Eddie Gilbert with Missy Hyatt beats Mike Graham when Missy rakes Graham’s eyes and Eddie follows it up with the Hotshot

Missy Hyatt: I told all of you last week that I had no problem getting into the ring but someone should have told me it was an intergender match!

 

 

Cowboy Bill Watts: What are you talking about Missy Hyatt? It was your man Eddie Gilbert, who in one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen, intervened in your match with Baby Doll and hit her with a Hotshot!

 

Missy Hyatt: Are you kidding me? You mean that thing in the ring against me was a WOMAN? I was sure you had tricked me and put me in a match against a man.

 

Jim Ross: Come on Missy! That will be enough of that! You know you wouldn’t be saying that if Baby Doll and Lex Luger were here right now.

 

Eddie Gilbert: You are right Ross. I wouldn’t be talking if Lex Luger was here right now because I would be busy whopping his behind all over this building.

 

The crowd explodes as both Baby Doll and the UWF Southern Champion, Lex Luger dash out but Eddie Gilbert and Missy Hyatt are one step ahead of them as the hightail it to the locker room. When Baby Doll and Lex come back to the podium they are fuming.

 

Lex Luger: Put the camera where it belongs. Get a close up of my face. I hope where ever you ran to Eddie Gilbert that there is a TV nearby. Look into my eyes because I have had it up to here with you and Missy Hyatt. You come out here week after week and say this and that about me and Baby Doll but then all you do is run and hide. Missy Hyatt talked about how she could beat Baby Doll and then we see Eddie Gilbert hide under that mat for hours to make sure Baby Doll doesn’t beat Missy Hyatt to with in an inch of her life. Eddie Gilbert, a real man… suplexes a woman! Well you have crossed the line and a demand a chance to get my hands on you. How bout it Cowboy Bill Watts.

 

Cowboy Bill Watts: Well I just want everyone to know that I was raised with morals and values and watching Eddie Gilbert put his hands on a woman last week made me sick so you are right Lex. You deserve a chance to get even. One more thing… so does Baby Doll. Well this week, the UWF is returning to St. Louis and the Checkerdome this tomorrow night and it will be Eddie Gilbert and Missy Hyatt vs Lex Luger and Baby Doll in an Intergender Tag Match where the men will wrestle the men and the women will wrestle the women.

 

As we go to break we see a big smile come across the faces of Luger and Baby Doll.

Match:

Honky Tonk Man beats DJ Peterson with the Shake Rattle & Roll

At the interview desk, we are shown a video of last week’s attack by Honky Tonk Man on Kendall Windham where he broke a guitar over his head and Jim Ross wants to know what that was all about.

 

Honky Tonk Man: Nothing personal against Windham but I do have something else that is very personal to me. In the last two weeks, I have wrestled in two big shows in Tennessee. One in Memphis and one in Nashville. That’s right, its been a sort of homecoming for me. First to my home city, Memphis, and then to Music City, Nashville. Do you know how many people in Nashville asked me to play the guitar for them but each time I declined as I was focused on the task at hand. That task being to get ready to take out someone else who calls Tennessee his home. In fact, he calls himself the King of Memphis. Well I have never seen a King so afraid to show up in his own Kingdom but that is exactly what happened again to the so-called King. He knew the Honky Tonk Man was going to be in Nashville so he stayed all the way down there in Texas! Well this week, I am going to take my show on the road up to St. Louis and I will leave two tickets at the box office. One for my idol, the real King of Memphis, Elvis Presley and the other for what I have now renamed the Coward of Memphis, Jerry Lawler and since Lawler knows I am going to be there the odds are that Elvis is more likely to show up than Lawler! Well some day soon Lawler, I am going to stop inviting you to come and see me and I am just going to come and find you.

 

Match:

Black Bart beats Dixie Dynamite with the Texas Trash Compactor (Diving Leg Drop)

While the grizzled Bart celebrates his singles victory in the ring, a wild scene unfolds as Exotic Adrian Street, Adorable Adrian Adonis and Miss Linda hit the ring. Adonis secures Bart’s arms while Street grabs his legs. He tries his best to wiggle free but to no avail as Miss. Linda puts makeup all over his face. The tough cowboy is engaged but can’t do anything about it. When she is all done, Bart is looking as oh so purty as Jim Ross wonders where Ron Bass was. As we had to break, Exotic Adrian and Adorable Adrian plant big kisses on the side of Black Bart’s checks.

 

 

COMMERCIAL

 

Before our next match, Black Bart and Ron Bass, who we find out was also attacked in the back by the Adrian Steer and Adonis and was also given a make-over, are at the interview desk and they are fuming. They demand and are granted a match for this week in the Checkerdome in St. Louis where if they lose the must where a dress.

 

 

MATCH

Superstar Graham beats Killer Tim Brooks with the Bearhug

The tie-die Superstar may be old but his charisma shines through as he high fives all the kids on his way back to the locker room.

 

The Rock n Roll Express are at the podium where they are hyping up their recent 6 Man Tag with Terry Taylor against Cornett’s Midnight Express and Dick Slater when all of a sudden ,they are interrupted by Luscious Johnny Valiant and the Hollywood Blondes…. Buddy Landell and John Tatum.

 

Luscious Johnny: Well now let’s all bow down to the mighty Rock n Roll Express. Somehow you got Jim Cornette suspended in a cage and you were able to save yourself a beating from the Midnight Express. Well, don’t think just because you won’t be facing Beautiful Bobby and Loverboy Dennis at the Great American Bash that your NWA National Tag Titles are safe. The Nature Boy here hired me to get him some gold and we are coming after you two bandana- wearing, extra small tee shirt waving bozos from Trailer Park U.S.A. Watch this next match and learn!

 

As the Hollywood Blondes head to the ring, Jim Ross asks the Rock n Roll Express what that was all about and they seemed to have no idea but they definitely were not overly concerned but did agree to stay at the podium for the next match

 

MATCH

The Hollywood Blondes with Luscious Johnny Valiant defeat the Memphis Vice as Landell uses the ropes for a little extra leverage with his Figure 4.

It seemed like Landell was really amping up the pressure and refused to break the hold after the match while John Tatum tossed the other member of Vice to the floor and then preceded to strut around the ring and bring down some mega-heat on himself. All of a sudden Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson couldn’t take it anymore and hit the ring. The brawl was on and the Rock n Roll Express seemed to be in control until Luscious Johnny came into the ring with some sort of slapjack and clobbered Morton. Now it was 3-1 and Robert Gibson took a pretty good beating as we head to commercial break.

COMMERCIAL

Match

Haku & Dr. Death Steve Williams with Skandar Akbar defeats Steve Gatorwolf and Mike George as Haku catches Gatorwolf in the Tongan Death Grip

The interesting thing here is that Dr. Death was never tagged into the match. Not that Haku ever needed help but Dr. Death seemed a bit miffed. All Akbar could talk about at the podium was that it seemed like Devastation Inc. has chased the NWA Champions away as no one as seen hide nor hare of Paul Ellering, Hawk or Animal. Even though Jim Ross was doing his best to explain that being the NWA champs brings in a lot of travel obligations all through the world. Jim Ross seems to be getting no place with Akbar so he reminds him that another one of his men is up next.

 

Match

Ron Simmons beats The Warlord with Skandar Akbar with a Monster Powerslam!

Akbar was once again frustrated and called on the Barbarian to rush the ring but before he could get there, Hacksaw Butch Reed hit the ring and no both members of Doom were in the ring awaiting an attack from the Barbarian. Seeing his disadvantage here with the Warlord still suffering from the powerslam, Akbar called on more men but all that came was Haku. Jim Ross wondered where Dr. Death was and if he was feeling a bit of disrespect from Akbar.

 

This made it a great stare down as Simmons and Reed dared the Barbarian and Haku to come to the ring but Akbar decided to fight another day.

[spaldoni]

Luger and Baby Doll get what they want but that Eddie Gilbert always has a trick up his sleeve. Honky Tonk Man is doing a great job hyping up the feud between him and Lawler. Cant wait for that inevitable showdown. Wow, Adonis, Street and Linda really do a number on the Long Riders. I could just imagine how livid they were. Oh yea, RnR versus the Hollywood Blondes, I'm all for that! Ut Oh, dissention in Devastation Inc. If things get out of hand, Haku and Dr. Death could be one of the most hard hitting feuds of all time. Speaking of hard hitting, Doom versus Devastation Inc. will be just that.

[gordi]

Ut Oh, dissension in Devastation Inc. If things get out of hand, Haku and Dr. Death could be one of the most hard hitting feuds of all time. Speaking of hard hitting, Doom versus Devastation Inc. will be just that.

 

Haku, Barbarian & Warlord vs Dr. Death, Reed, & Simmons could be one of the hardest-hitting 6-man tags of all time.

 

Interesting stuff going on p and down this card. I think having Superstar play up to the kids in the crowd is a great way to use him at this stage. He still has charisma and an awesome look.

(HOUR #2)

Match

Giant Baba defeats The Spoiler with a huge Swinging Neckbreaker

As soon as the match ends, we see 3 men in red masks surround the ring and it looks like Baba is in for a world of trouble but right after the masked men ascend to the apron they jump back down. All of a sudden, two of the men unmask and they are Ivan and Nikita Koloff who together give the throat cutting sign letting Baba know what he is in for next week in the Omni. The other man never takes off the mask as the entire group heads to the podium.

 

 

Jim Ross: Ok, so what was that all about Ivan.

 

Ivan Koloff: Last week I told you that Mother Russia has sent the KGB to America to protect Nikita from the corruption that America produces. We know that Nikita is unbeatable in a fair match but it seems Americans never play fair.

 

Cowboy Bill Watts: Now wait a minute Koloff, America is not the ones sending goons in masks to come and threaten the likes of Giant Baba, Ole Anderson and Magnum T.A.

 

Ivan Koloff: If I have learned anything in my time here in this country it is that it is better to attack first then wait for America to steal what we Russians have worked so hard for.

 

Jim Ross: Come on Koloff, you are ridiculous.

 

Ivan Koloff: Whatever you say Jim Ross but we Russians stick together. Just like you Americans. I didn’t see Magnum T.A. or Ole Anderson out here to help their friend Giant Baba. That is because America only helps stinking Americas!

 

All of sudden the crowd explodes as Magnum, Ole and Giant Baba come out to the interview desk and confront the Russians.

 

Jim Ross: Now hold on just a minute. Let’s keep the peace now.

 

Magnum T.A.: Don’t worry Jim These guys are too worried about protecting their reputation then to fight us. They only attack when the numbers are in their advantage.

 

Ivan Koloff: What a surprise. Another American comes out here and all they can do is lie! We will face you anytime you like as long as you put that UWF title on the line.

 

Ole Anderson: Koloff… you and I go back a long time. I used to listen to that propaganda you spew from your mouth and thought you had a point. Now in my old age, I know two things. First of all, you are full of it and secondly, I know that whoever you are hiding under that mask is as much KGB as I am. Now put up or shut up! Baba here is already facing Nikita in the Omni. How about we add some more matches and turn this Cold War hot! Me and you Ivan for old time sake.

 

Ivan Koloff: I would love to get you in the ring and show everyone how I carried you around when we were tag team partners. Show everyone how the mighty Russian was the only reason we were the tag champs but let’s have us some fun …. Let’s make this a Russian Chain Match!

 

Ole Anderson: Deal! I might not be as good as I once was but I will always be good enough to beat you.

 

Magnum T.A: Hold on a second Ole. I want in on this deal. I am sick and tired of these Russians coming to America and putting us down. As Cowboy Bill has said many times… It is all about God, Country and family. Well right now, you are like family and let’s make America proud. How about this Ivan. Double Russian Chain Match. You and that goon in a mask vs Ole and myself this week in St, Louis.

 

Cowboy Bill Watts: I think Magnum is on to something here. What a night it is going to be in St. Louis!

Match

Brad Armstrong & Jeff Jarrett defeats Homer O’dell & Verlon Biggs as Brad hit the Russian Legsweep on Biggs

Bullet Bob Armstrong joined Brad and JJ at the interview desk where Bob vowed revenge on all of Ron Wright’s Army but in particular Ron Fuller.

 

Bob Armstrong: I have been in this game too long to make the mistake I made. I should have known a Fuller can never be trusted and scum like Ron Wright and Fuller will always side with each other. I know Bubba Ottman and Grizzly Boone hurt my ribs pretty good but I am on the mend and I am telling all my fans out there that at the Great American Bash, I want Ron Fuller in a No DQ Leather Strap Match so I can whip him to within an inch of his life like the dog he is!

Match

Terry Taylor beats Brutus Beekcake as he steals victory from defeat

As Beekcake locked in the sleeper, it looked to over but Taylor back peddled into the corner forcing the break and then hit the ropes and came off with the flying forearm smash for the win. At the interview desk, Taylor is joined by the Rock n Roll Express and they are having a good time poking fun at Jim Cornette as he locked great inside that cage suspended above the ring. Taylor also is excited for his Continental Title math with Slater at the Great American Bash. The Rock n Roll Express also seem to be a little frustrated by Luscious Johnny and the Hollywood Blondes (Landell & Tatum) calling them out earlier.

Before our next match, we see Ron Fuller and Ron Wright at the interview desk.

 

Ron Fuller: I told all you people last week that I am the best looking man you have ever seen and that Tennessee Stud doesn’t give anything away for free. Now I hear that Bob Armstrong thinks just because he says so, I am going to get in the ring with him at the Great American Bash. I really have no problem beating him again as I have done so many times but he needs he deserves a shot at me. The Fullers have wasted enough of our careers beating Armstrongs all over the Southern United States.

 

Ron Wright: Oh Stud you are so right. If that Unchristian Armstrong wants a match, he must prove himself …. Over and over again and it starts tonight!

 

Jim Ross: You heard Bob before. The doctors don’t want him in the ring until the Great American Bash because of an injury… an injury that your Army caused I might add.

 

Ron Wright: Come on Ross. You should be thanking me and my Army. One less Armstrong is a step in the right direction but if he wants a match with the Stud, we will see him in the ring tonight against Killer Khan.

 

Jim Ross: Oh come on Wright. Killer Khan. He could end the Bullet’s career with the state that Bob’s ribs are in.

 

Ron Wright: Exactly!

Match

“Bullet" Bob Armstrong vs Killer Khan with Ron Wright

Somehow we see Bob Armstrong withstand a tremendous beating as Khan kicked and chopped away at the rips. Somehow, a battered Bullet was able to surprise Khan with the Georgia Jawbreaker for the three count.

Jim Ross: Oh Bawh Gawd. I don’t believe my eyes. Bullet Bob Armstrong, busted ribs and all has just beat Killer Khan. It looks like Bob will be getting a shot at the Tennessee Stud at the Great American Bash in the Louisiana Super dome is a little over two weeks! Sorry folks, but we are out of time.

[SirEdger]

Always love to see Ole Anderson confident heading into a match, even if he knows that he isn't at his peak anymore. I'm really curious to know who the 3rd man is in the KGB!

[gordi]

Double Chain Match! Nice!

 

As always, seeing Baba working as a face down south does my heart good.

 

Armstrong's using the Russian Legsweep! Is he about to joint he KGB, too? (just kidding)

 

Big win for “Bullet" Bob!!

[spaldoni]

Double Chain Match! Leather Strap Match! Man, things are really getting HOT in the UWF! Bullet Bob returns to action in an awesome way by beating Khan. Ron Fuller and the Wright Army better be ready. Cant wait for Taylor/Slater. Once again, you nailed it with Ivan.

[GeneJackson95]

I agree with Spaldoni, you've got Ivan's promos down so well...it really adds to the angle.

 

Same for the Honky Tonk Man as well, when Lawler gets wind of all this trash talk there will be hell to pay!

 

Great win for Bullet Bob over Khan, classic Southern Main Event!

[dawho5]

I love how your shows stay so close to what the UWF was. Great hype for all of the big matches. Ole and Magnum sign a double chain match against the Russians on the same show that Bullet Bob admits teaming with Fuller was a mistake. Hmm. Honky trying to chase down Lawler can only make the eventual payoff better. Bullet Bob coming back for the win at the end is a great way to end the show and set up a Ron Wright/Fuller hissy fit next week.

CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE

McKENZIE ARENA

(HOUR #1)

The show starts with a video montage of some of the big matches from this past week’s event at the Checkerdome in St. Louis.

• Missy Hyatt and Eddie Gilbert defeated Baby Doll and Lex Luger in an intergender match that saw Gilbert hit Baby Doll with another Hot Shot even though this match was to be men vs men and women vs women. During some chaos, the ref was knocked down and this is when Gilbert caught Baby Doll. Luger rushed in after Gilbert who took off up the aisle but Gilbert tagged in Missy who made the pin.

• Magnum T.A. and Ole Anderson beat Ivan Koloff and the Russian Assassin in a Double Russian Chain Match as Ole and T.A. clocked them both with the chain and then T.A. caught them both with the Belly to Belly. Nikita rushed out but so did Giant Baba and these two brawled in the aisle!

Hello everybody. Welcome to UWF Wrestling. We are coming to you from the McKenzie Arena in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I am Jim Ross and my partner today is Cowboy Bill Watts. Before our first match, let’s bring out the UWF Southern Champ, Lex Luger and Baby Doll.

 

Lex Luger: Eddie Gilbert… you must have some plan in your pea brain to get this Southern Title around your waist. Two weeks in a row, you act like the World’s Biggest Coward by sneaking up on a woman and lifting her up and dropping her throat first across the top rope. If you think this is bothering me, you are Damn Right it is bothering me but let’s be certain, it is not going to make me loose my focus. In fact, I have never been more focused in my life. I was just in the back signing the contract for our match at the Great American Bash in the Superdome. If you have any guts, you will sign the contract tonight!

 

Baby Doll: Missy Hyatt … All I got to tell you is that you better have eyes behind your back because I am coming for you. And Eddie Gilbert … you think you are some kind of big man hitting a woman. Well, I got no problem taking you out to. In fact, if you want to meet me in the ring, just let me know.

Match

Tim Horner defeats Ken Dillenger with the Rolling Cradle

Jim Ross really hyped up Horner’s return to the UWF as the youngster really got the crowd into it. Horner begin the match showing off his technical skill but then Dillenger turned to the dirty tactics and Horner showed he was pretty good at mixing it up to.

As we come out of break we see Bullet Bob Armstrong at the interview desk where Jim Ross reminds us that last week he beat Killer Khan which earned him a shot at revenge against the Tennessee Stud Ron Fuller at The Great American Bash on July 4^th at the Louisiana Superdome. Bob Armstrong, who still has his ribs tapped up from the attack a few weeks again by Ron Wright’s Army, is telling everyone what he is going to do to Fuller when all of a sudden, The Stud and Ron Wright come out to the podium.

 

Ron Fuller: As much as it is would be like old times with me beating your behind all over the ring at the Bash, I do think there was some misunderstanding.

 

Bob Armstrong: What are you talking about Fuller. That clown next to you said last week that if I beat Killer Khan, you would step into the ring with me at the Bash. Sounds like you are the same old coward I have known for a long time.

 

Ron Fuller: Tell um Colonel Wright… these fans have already heard enough from the best looking man they will ever see. If I keep talking these college girls are going to go into heat.

 

Ron Wright: Just like many of the heathens out here today… you don’t listen so well Bob Armstrong. Last week I said that you would have to prove yourself over and over again to see if you deserved a shot at the Stud at the Great American Bash. Well, last week was only the first match of my Gauntlet test. Tonight, you will need to find a partner to face Grizzly Boon and Big Bubba Ottman… that’s right, the two men who put you in the hospital!

 

As Ron Wright and Fuller walk off, Bob Armstrong looks frustrated but then we see his face break into a big smile.

 

Match

Honky Tonk Man beats Mike Graham with the Shake Rattle & Roll

At the interview desk, we find out that it will be HTM vs Kendall Windham at the Great American Bash as Windham will be looking for some revenge from HTM’s guitar shot on him a few weeks ago.

 

Honky Tonk Man: Oh brother. Must I waste my time with Windham again. I just beat him two weeks ago and now I must to do it again. This is not the treatment one would expect of a big star like myself. Nothing personal against Windham but I am here for one reason and that is Jerry Lawler. I have been calling him out for three weeks and three weeks he has been a No Show! I think it is time we start calling myself the King! Your old King has been dethroned! Lawler, the Coward of Memphis, has run to Texas to avoid me! If any of you people in Chattanooga have Lawler’s phone number, tell him I will be looking for him in Atlanta tomorrow night and that if he has the guts, I will official take his crown inside the ring.

 

Match:

Adorable Adrian Adonis with Miss. Linda beats Cowboy Tom Stone with the Goodnight Irene

Adonis is joined by Exotic Adrian Street at the interview desk where we get a review of how they put make up all over the faces of Ron Bass and Black Bart last week. We also find out that it will be Adonis and Street vs Bass and Bart in a Loser Leave Town Match at the Great American Bash

Haku with Skandar Akbar destroys Steve Gatorwolf with the end coming by way of the Tongan Death Grip.

At the interview desk, Akbar is praising his latest prize possession and we also find out that it will be Haku vs Superstar Billy Graham at the Great American Bash.

 

Skandar Akbar: You Americans are just too sentimental. You hold on to things way to long and that is exactly what you have done with Superstar Billy Graham. Yes he was great in his day but his day has long since past. While he still has all the muscles … that is all he now has. Haku is a killing machine and come the Great American Bash, Superstar Graham will no longer be considered a professional wrestler!

 

Match

The Hollywood Blondes with Luscious Johnny Valiant vs Brad Armstrong & Jeff Jarrett

 

A great TV match here that sees Johnny Valiant at his most devious. Tatum did such a great job here of playing the cowardly heel and the young Jeff Jarrett lost patience and took off after him outside of the ring and as he came around the Corner, Valiant took he knees out with a real dirty chop block. This was all the Nature Boy needed as he now went to work on the legs of JJ. Brad did his best to carry the team but even he got caught up, literally, with Valiant nonsense. Somehow Valiant was on the apron as Brad was whipped into the ropes. As Brad and Valiant came together they both became entangled and tumbled to the floor. This allowed Landell time to slap on the Figure 4 and even though JJ fought valiantly, he was forced to submit.

 

This match left Jim Ross wondering a couple of things… first, since Brad was just in a match… who would his father’s partner be tonight against Ottman and Boone and secondly, with Valiant being as devious as he was tonight, could the Hollywood Blondes actually take the NWA National Titles from the Rock n Roll Express at the Bash.

Match

Grizzly Boone & Big Bubba Ottman with Ron Wright vs Bob Armstrong and a mystery partner

With Wright’s Army already in the ring, Armstrong begins to come out but he is all by himself and Ross and Watts wonder if he is going to go it alone when all of a sudden, the speakers begin to blare.

 

“Da, Da Da, Another One Bites the Dust” and the crowd explodes. Ron Wright and his Army are in shock as Junkyard Dog runs to the ring, dog chain and all. His energy and Bob Armstrongs determination gives the fan favorites the victory despite Ron Wright using every dirty trick he knew. In the end, the Dog stunned Ottman with a few big headbutts and then he tagged in Armstrong who finished off the big man with the Georgia Jawbreaker.

 

JYD: Oh baby! The Dog is back in the UWF and I am here to stay. I left a few months ago out of frustration. I couldn’t even be around people like Ron Wright and Dick Murdoch. I mean this is not 1936. This is 1986! People like Ron Wright and Dick Murdoch are trying to drag people apart. They talk about the Unchristians. They talk of people of my color. I mean come on man. This is 1986 and the Dog aint gonna to take it. When Murdoch and I were tag partners I couldn’t take how he thought he was superior and then he just turned his back on me to join Ron Wright! Well now the Dog is going to take a bite out of both of you. (The Dog gives a few of his barking sounds to the sky) This is 1986!

 

Bob Armstrong: Brother, I completely understand. Ron Wright and his Army got to go and I am starting with Ron Fuller. Thanks Dog and now I guess I am going to get my revenge on Ron Fuller at the Great American Bash!

[gordi]

As soon as Bullet Bob cracked that smile it was clear he was going to pick a good partner for the fight against Grizz and Bubba. You gave the crowd a great moment when that music hit.
