Announcers: Bill Caudle & Jim Cornette
Ring Announcer: Chip Kessler
Referees: Dave Hebner & Mac MacMurray
1. Norvell Austin over Brad Armstrong at 5:09 with a BIG assist from "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton. Eaton, who had joined Jim Cornette and Bill Caudle at the announcers' table, provided very little commentary during the bout prompting Caudle to question his purpose for being there in the first place. With Armstrong down on the mat and Referee Dave Hebner chastising Norvell Austin for his tactics, "Beautiful" Bobby suddenly jumped into action and crushed Armstrong with the Alabama Jam (Leg Drop off the top rope) behind the ref's back. Austin quickly made the cover once Bobby high-tailed it out of the ring and Hebner added the three count. Cornette chuckled, "I think Bobby just said something !"
2. Ric McCord was the beneficiary of a rules infraction to defeat "Ravishing" Randy Rose by DQ at 5:42. Randy tossed McCord over the top rope and out onto the floor (a no-no in Smoky Mountain) to draw the disqualification.
3. Despite the presence of his fellow Hitman tag team partner Killer Kyle, Frankie "The Thumper" Lancaster went down to defeat at the hands of Smoky Mountain Champ "Superstar" Bill Dundee and his Bomb Away finisher at 3:26 in a non-title match.
4. Miss Sylvia's Tennessee Stud Stable (Robert Fuller & Jimmy Golden) over the Batten Twins (Bart & Brad) via Count Out at 6:11. Bart grabbed the pesty Sylvia by the hair OOR and threatened to slap her but was caught from behind by a Double Axe Handle off the apron from Robert Fuller. Bart was down and out on the floor for the ten count.
5. Tommy "Wild Fire" Rich put away "Gentleman" Ken Timbs with his patented Thesz Press off the ropes at 5:55.
6. Smoky Mountain TV Title Match. The Champ Jerry Oates turned back his challenger "Hangman" Bobby Jaggers (w/ Noose and "Dirty" Dutch Mantel) by DQ at 9:44. With Jaggers caught in the middle of the ring in Oates' Spinning Toe Hold, Dutch ran into the ring to break up the hold. Referee Mac MacMurray immediately called for the bell and awarded the match to Oates.
Smoky Mountain Results (Circa Early 90's) - Hancock County High School Gymnasium, Sneedville, TN. Att: 517
Ring Announcer: School Superintendent Marty J. Kendall
Referee: Mark Curtis
1. "Hollywood" Bob Holly over Robert Gibson by DQ at 6:46. Holly caught a high flying Drop Kick in the mush from Gibson that sent him toppling over the top rope and out onto the floor. It was a judgement call by Referee Mark Curtis who chose to strictly enforce the rule against sending your opponent over the top rope and disqualified an incredulous Robert Gibson.
2. Porkchop Cash defeated Dr. Tom Prichard (w/ Jim Cornette) at 7:53. Cornette snuck up on the apron and was ready to do some damage with his trusty tennis racket but Cash saw him coming and gave the pesty manager a Noggin Knocker with Prichard. The "Doctor of Desire" stumbled backward into a Schoolboy Roll Up for the pinfall.
3. The Rose Cousins ("Ravishing" Randy & Pat) over the tandem of Dixie Dynamite (a masked Scott Armstrong) and Billy Joe Travis at 9:25. The Roses combined for a Spiked Pile Driver on Travis behind the referee's back while Mark Curtis was sending Dixie Dynamite back to his corner. Curtis turned around to find Pat Rose making the cover and counted the pin.
4. "Flamboyant" Eric Embry dipped into his tights for a hidden foreign object and socked "White Lightning" Tim Hoerner with a loaded punch to the head as he was being given a Back Suplex. Embry crawled on top of his KO'd opponent for the pin.
5. The Junk Yard Dog was Counted Out against "Tennessee Stud" Robert Fuller (w/ Miss Sylvia & Jimmy Golden) at 11:56. Fuller tossed the Dog OOR and argued with Referee Mark Curtis while Jimmy Golden ran JYD's head into a booth where Hancock High School Class President Haley Tomlinson was selling bids for the upcoming Senior Prom. Students scattered in every direction as the stand collapsed with a loud crash. The Dog was down and out for the ten count.

3. Jerry "The King" Lawler's dentist Dr. Isaac Yankem DDS from Decatur, IL defeated everyone's favorite garbage man Duke "The Dumpster" Droese (w/ back support belt and trash can) at 7:32. With Referee Joey Marella down on the mat, Yankem bashed Duke in the head with the trash can's lid. Marella recovered to find Yankem making the cover and counted the pin. Droese seems wildly popular in Quebec as he received a huge ovation during his entrance and high-fived the fans on his way down to ringside.
4. Bodydonna Skip (w/ Sunny) over Bob "Spark Plugg" Holly from Talladega, AL at 9:36. Holly whipped Skip into the corner and attempted to Monkey Flip him out, but Sunny held onto her man to block the maneuver. Holly fell back onto the canvas and Skip added two feet on the ropes for leverage to pin his opponent.
5. Ted Dibiase's Million Dollar Corporation (Irwin R. Shyster & "Supreme Fighting Machine" Kama) defeated the Caribbean Connection (Razor Ramon & Savio Vega) by Count Out at 10:31. Kama tossed Savio Vega out of the ring and distracted Referee Mike Chioda while Dibiase smashed Vega from behind with Shyster's steel briefcase. Vega could not make Chioda's subsequent ten count.
6. "Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels (chewing gum in the ring and at his arrogant best) toyed with the 1-2-3 Kid for some ten minutes before pinning him with a Diving Elbow Drop off the top rope at 10:22. After the match, Michaels offered a hand to help his opponent get back to his feet but then slapped the 1-2-3 Kid in the face and laughed when the Kid took him up on his offer.
7. In the Main Event, The Undertaker (w/ eerie music and Paul Bearer) beat "Big Daddy Cool" Diesel at 12:35. Diesel was choking out the Deadman on the 2nd rope when Paul Bearer interjected himself and bashed "Big Daddy Cool" in the head with the urn. The chicanery went undetected by Referee Joey Marella who made the three count on the Undertaker's subsequent pin attempt on the KO'd Diesel. The urn had a noticable dent in it as the Undertaker and Paul Bearer returned to the dressing room.

5. The Beverly Brothers (Beau & Blake w/ The Genius) defeated the Arkansas hog farmers, The Godwinns (Henry O. & Phineas I. w/ Hillbilly Jim) by DQ at 10:03. Fed up with the Beverly's constant cheating and dirty double teaming tactics, Henry brought a bucket of slop in the ring and dumped it over Beau's head to draw the disqualification from Referee Tim White. Surprisingly, the Beverly's drew very little heat from the crowd during their entrance and introduction despite The Genius reciting one of his corny poems.
6. Intercontinental Title Match. Champion Bam Bam Bigelow defeated the challenger Hakushi (w/ manager Shinja) by disqualification at 12:57. Shinja ran into the ring to break up Bigelow's pin attempt after the champ connected with a Slingshot Splash into the ring from the apron. Bam Bam retains the Intercontinental Title.
7. In the Main Event, "Made in the U.S.A." Lex Luger over "Double J" Jeff Jarrett (w/ guitar, blinking sunglasses, the Fargo Strut and the Roadie) at 16:09.

After the bout, The Roadie tossed Hebner OOR and joined Jarrett in a double team beatdown until Luger's "Allied Powers" tag team partner "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith raced into the ring to make the save.

Droese was unable to answer Referee Bill Alphonso's ten count.
5. "The King of Harts" Owen Hart over Bob "Spark Plugg" Holly by submission with the Sharpshooter leglock at 9:25.
6. The tandem of "Double J" Jeff Jarrett & his Roadie (w/ twangy Country & Western Music and a ton of heat from the crowd) beat the Allied Powers ("Made in the USA" Lex Luger & "British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith) at 9:56. Jarrett and the Roadie combined for a Double DDT on Luger as Referee Mike Chioda was sending the British Bulldog back to his corner. Chioda turned around to find the Roadie making the cover and counted the pin.
7. WWF Title Match. Champion Bret "The Hitman" Hart pinned his challenger Yokozuna (w/ the devious Mr. Fuji and several Geisha girls) at 15:06. The Champ managed to side-step a corner charge by his opponent and caught the dazed Yokozuna in a Schoolboy Roll Up after the big man crashed full steam into the turnbuckle. The ring moved about three feet from the force of Yokozuna's corner collision. Bret Hart retains the WWF Title !

3. The Repo Man (w/ tow hook & cat burglar mask) defeated Scotty Taylor by submission with the Crowbar (Single Leg Boston Crab ) at 6:32.
It should be noted the Shawn Michaels left the announcers' table at this point and did not return leaving McMahon to finish the broadcast without a color commentator. HBK paid little attention to the first three matches or the wrestlers themselves and preferred to talk about himself instead. McMahon challenged him to "get his head in the game" prompting Michaels to retort "get your head in this !" before walking off.
4. Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz gave the 1-2-3 Kid all he could handle before being Counted Out by Referee Joey Marella at 10:33. Schwartz sealed his fate when he missed a charge OOR and crashed head-first into the ring post.

7. In the Main Event, The Undertaker (w/ Paul Bearer & Urn) over Irwin R. Shyster (w/ 1099 Tax Forms & "Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase) at 16:55. IRS drew some serious heat from the crowd prior to the match by accusing the fans of all being tax cheats, but he was done in by his own manager's miscue. Dibiase tried to bash the 'Taker with Shyster's steel briefcase but accidently hit his own man with it instead. IRS was easy pickin's after that as the Deadman finished him off with the Tombstone Piledriver for the victory.

4. Chief Wahoo McDaniel defeated Don Kernodle via Count Out at 8:28.

Kernodle could not recover in time to make Tommy Young's ten count.
5. Youngster Barry Windham was awarded the decision via disqualification by Referee Steve Gregory when his opponent Arn Anderson blatantly tossed Barry over the top rope and out onto the floor at 11:17.

In the Main Event, "Boogie-Woogie Man" Jimmy Valiant & his partner "Ragin' Bull" Manny Fernandez (w/ "Boy from New York City" entrance music) defeated Paul Jones' Army of "Superstar" Billy Graham & the Barbarian at 10:56.

Paul Jones was beside himself and immediately fled to the back. Match stipulations require Jones to face Jimmy Valiant one-on-one in a Steel Cage Match next week if Superstar Graham & the Barbarian were defeated here tonight.

4. Tully Blanchard (w/ "Perfect 10" Baby Doll) over "Rugged" Ronnie Garvin via Count Out at 16:13. Garvin was taking the battle to Blanchard OOR until Ronnie was sprayed in the eyes with perfume by Baby Doll. The blinded Garvin could not find his way back inside the ring in time to make Referee Sonny Fargo's ten count.
5. Vacant NWA Tag Team Title Tournament Semi-Final Match. The Rock & Roll Express (Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson) eliminated the Russians (Ivan Koloff & Krusher Khruschev w/ "Russian Nightmare" Nikita Koloff) at 9:58. Khruschev was pinned by Morton after being flattened by an errant Russian Sickle from an interferring Nikita Koloff. Uncle Ivan tried to break up the pin but was intercepted by a Flying Drop Kick from Robert Gibson.
6. Steel Cage Grudge Match Main Event. "Boogie-Woogie Man" Jimmy Valiant finally got his hands on hated adversary "Number 1" Paul Jones but things took an unexpected turn for the worst. Jones had brought his Army members "Superstar" Billy Graham and the Barbarian with him to ringside but it was the treachery and treason of Valiant's friend and tag team partner "Ragin' Bull" Manny Fernandez that ultimately did in the "Boogie-Woogie Man". Fernandez ran down to ringside to loud cheers from the fans as he appeared to be helping keep the Barbarian and Graham at bay, however it was merely a ruse as the "Ragin' Bull" showed his true colors and slipped a piece of lead pipe through the chain link wall to Paul Jones who used the weapon to KO Valiant and escape via the cage door at 14:11. The smirking Fernandez was pelted with debris by the raucous crowd as he returned backstage with Paul Jones, Graham and the Barbarian.
Announcers: Tony Schiavone & David Crockett
Ring Announcer: Ted Guinness
Referees: Tommy Young, Mike Atkins & Stu Schwartz

2. The newest member of Paul Jones Army, "Ragin' Bull" Manny Fernandez, had no trouble with the Italian Stallion. Fernandez pinned his opponent with the Flying Burrito off the ropes at 4:57 and added insult to injury with a post-match beatdown of Stallion to further cement his heel status. Fernandez drew tremendous heat in Greensboro after recently turning on "Boogie-Woogie Man" Jimmy Valiant in Salem, VA. Fans heckled the Ragin' Bull with insults and held up "Traitor" signs to show their disdain.
3. Don Kernodle over cagey veteran "Wild" Bill White by submission with the Cobra Clutch at 6:26. In a post-match interview with David Crockett, Kernodle revealed that he would like a shot at "American Dream" Dusty Rhodes TV Title next week if the Dream would oblige him.
4. Chief Wahoo McDaniel defeated "Avalanche" Buzz Tyler at 7:33. This bout was stopped by Referee Mike Atkins who deemed Tyler unable to continue. McDaniel was all business and showed no mercy for his opponent in going after Tyler's knee with a series of grueling submission holds. To his credit, Buzz refused to quit but could no longer put weight on his injured leg after a prolonged Indian Death Lock prompting Atkins to call for the bell.
Ringside interview with David Crockett and a very somber "Boogie-Woogie Man" Jimmy Valiant. The fans are not use to seeing Valiant like this and tried to rally his spirits by chanting his name. Valiant acknowledged their support but said that his heart was "broken in a million itty-bitty pieces" by his former friend "Ragin' Bull" Manny Fernandez. Valiant said that he trusted this man with his life and pondered what would ever possess Fernandez to turn his back on him and join forces with "Number One" Paul Jones. Valiant shook his head in disbelief and walked off the set.
5. Vacant Tag Team Tournament Semi-Final Match. Jim Cornette's Midnight Express ("Beautiful" Bobby Eaton & "Sweet" Stan Lane) eliminated the team of Rick Steamboat & Jay Youngblood at 12:18. Eaton (the illegal man) came off the top rope with his Alabama Jam (Flying Leg Drop) on Youngblood while Referee Stu Schwartz was sending Steamboat back to his corner. Stan Lane made the cover as Schwartz turned around to count the pin. The Midnight Express advance to the finals to face the Rock & Roll Express for the titles.
6. United States Title Match. The challenger, "Russian Nightmare" Nikita Koloff (w/ Uncle Ivan & 10 feet of chain) , defeated the defending Champ Magnum T.A. by Count Out at 19:25. With Referee Tommy Young down and out on the mat, Nikita and Ivan combined to viciously clothesline Magnum OOR with their chain. The U.S. Champ was writhing on the floor and clutching his throat in agony as Tommy Young recovered to administer the ten count. Magnum retains the United States Title but was stretchered away by EMTs to nearby Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital for x-rays.
Ringside interview with David Crockett and NWA World Champion "Nature Boy" Ric Flair with a fancy suit and the "ten pounds of gold". Flair was well received in his native NC until he accused Number One Contender Magnum T.A. of faking his injuries tonight to duck a match with him. Crockett was incredulous and couldn't believe what he was hearing from Flair. "Are you kidding me ?? You saw the footage !! The man nearly had his head taken off with that chain !!" Flair would have none of it. "David, trust me on this. It wasn't as bad as Magnum made it out to look. The man has a yellow streak down his back a mile wide."
Apparently Rick Steamboat couldn't believe his ears either. Steamboat joined the conversation to defend Magnum's honor only to have Flair ridicule him. "How does it feel to be eliminated from the tag tournament, Steamboat ?" the Nature Boy laughed. Steamboat did not take kindly to that and challenged Flair to put his World Title on the line against him. Flair asked the fans if they would like to see the match to which the Greensboro crowd responded with a roar of approval. Ever the showman, Flair then kicked off his dress shoes and jumped into the ring to egg Steamboat on. Ricky ran in to a barrage of reverse chops to the chest from the Champ and responded in kind with some overhand chops of his own. We see the Nature Boy bail out of the ring in his disheveled suit as the program goes off the air.

1. Exciting youngster Barry Windham from Sweetwater, Texas leveled veteran Doug Vines with a Flying Cowboy Lariat off the ropes for the pin at 4:23.
2. Chris Champion of the New Breed (w/ Tag Team Partner Sean Royal) beat the popular high-flying masked man Lazer Tron (Hector Guerrero) in tainted fashion at 6:41. Lazer Tron hopped up to the top rope and was perched to deliver a diving splash when he was given a shove by Royal from the apron and crashed awkwardly to the canvas. Champion capitalized on the interference by delivering a high risk maneuver of his own - a Swan Dive Head Butt off the top to gain the pinfall.
3. Krusher Khruschev (w/ Ivan & Nikita Koloff) over "Downtown" Denny Brown via submission with the Cobra Clutch at 4:44. Brown's aerial assault was largely ineffective against the big Russian. Khruschev caught Brown's Flying Cross Body Press and countered with a backbreaker across the knee to set up the submission win.
4. Black Bart (w/ Ten Gallon Hat, Branding Iron & James J. Dillon) pinned Nelson Royal with his Texas Trash Compactor (Flying Leg Drop) at 6:32. Royal nearly scored an upset in this bout after reversing a suplex attempt but J.J. Dillon was able to put Bart's foot on the ropes to break Referee Sandy Scott's pin count.
5. "Superstar" Billy Graham (w/ "No. 1" Paul Jones) beat "Pistol" Pez Whatley at 7:21. Pez attempted to leap off the 2nd rope with a crushing head butt but was caught in mid air by Graham and dropped throat-first across the top rope for the pinfall.
6. "Chief" Jay Youngblood over "The Rock" Ole Anderson by DQ for outside interference at 13:42. A great match that was spoiled by a run-in from NWA World Champion "Nature Boy" Ric Flair to precipitate the disquaification by Referee Walter Buckner. Flair was no doubt trying to send a message to hated rival Rick Steamboat by jumping his tag team partner from behind and applying the Figure Four Leglock to Youngblood. Ole Anderson assisted Flair's dirty work by tossing officials and midcarders alike from the ring as they attempted to make the save. Rick Steamboat finally came to the rescue and cleared the ring of both Anderson and Flair but the damage was already done. Jay Youngblood had to be stretchered off with a severe knee injury from the effects of Flair's Figure Four.
7. NWA Tag Team Tournament Finals. The Rock & Roll Express (Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson) defeated the Midnight Express ("Beautiful" Bobby Eaton & "Sweet" Stan Lane) in a barn-burner to win the Tag Team Titles at 12:16. Jim Cornette did everything within his power to put the belts on Eaton & Lane including a tennis racquet shot to Morton's noggin while Referee Sonny Fargo was down and out on the mat. Unfortunately for the Midnights, Fargo was slow to recover and unable to make the three count on the downed Morton. Robert Gibson ran in and cleaned house of Lane and Eaton with a series of body slams, hip tosses and drop kicks. Fargo finally got back to his feet and was in the process of restoring order when the woozy Morton cradled Eaton from behind for the winning pinfall. The Rock & Roll Express win the NWA Tag Team Titles !!

Velvet took a nasty spill and could not make Referee Taryn Terrell's ten count. Mickie tried to help Velvet get back to her feet after the bout but Velvet would have none of it. It should be noted that Velvet attacked before the bell to try and gain an early advantage in the match.
2. Devon pinned Christian York at 8:59. Devon dipped down into the tights for a hidden foreign object and KO'd York with a loaded punch leading to the pinfall.
3. Wes Brisco (w/ Garett Bischoff) defeated "Diamond in the Rough" David Young (w/ Simon Diamond & "Prime Time" Elix Skipper) by DQ at 4:17. With Young caught in the Brisco Lock (Figure Four Leglock) and about to tap out, Elix Skipper ran into the ring and attacked Brisco from behind to break up the hold. Referee Jamie Tucker immediately signaled for the bell. Garett Bischoff then ran in to even the odds. Skipper & Young bailed out of the ring with some choice words for their adversaries.
4. Chavo Guerrero (w/ "SuperMex" Hernandez) over Robbie E (w/ Big Robbie T) at 10:05. Miscommunication on the Jersey Shore ! Robbie T tried to bash Chavo with his clipboard but accidently hit Robbie E by mistake. Chavo added a Frog Splash for good measure to seal the victory. After the bout, Robbie E snatched the microphone away from SoCal Val, pointed an accusing finger at his bouncer and shouted, "You ain't my bro no mo !" before storming off.
5. The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley) continued to climb the ranks of TNA's tag team division by scoring a win over Kid Kash & Gunner at 9:09. Kash slid a folding chair into the ring for his partner to use but Chris Sabin spied it first and gave Gunner the Cradle Shock (Fireman's Carry Sit Out Slam) onto the chair leading to the pin.
6. In the Main Event, Ron "The Truth" Killings (w/ Orlando Jordan) defeated "The Monster" Abyss (w/ Father James Mitchell and "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero) at 11:58.

3. Matt Morgan (w/ Joey Ryan) over "SuperMex" Hernandez at 7:33. With senior official Earl Hebner knocked down in the action, Hernandez had Matt Morgan cradled in a Small Package but slimy Joey Ryan ran in and reversed the cradle. Hebner recovered to count the tainted pin for Morgan.
4. "The Charismatic Enigma" Jeff Hardy defeated Frankie Kazarian (w/ Christopher Daniels) with the Swanton Bomb (Senton Splash) off the top rope at 8:31. The move was set up by the Twist of Fate. Christopher Daniels ran in to interfere and also received the Twist of Fate for his trouble.
5. Father James Mitchell's New Church ("The Monster" Abyss & "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero) beat Ron "The Truth" Killings & Orlando Jordan at 9:35.

6. Triple Threat Main Event. "The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived" Austin Aries vs. TNA X Division Champion "War Machine" Rhino vs. "The Whole Damn Show" Rob Van Dam.

2. Knockouts Division. Tara (w/ Hollywood boyfriend "Mr. Pec-Tacular" Jesse Godderz) was too much for the up-and-coming Taeler Hendrix. Taeler put up a good fight but went down to the Widow's Peak (Gory Neckbreaker) at 4:36.
3. Jerry Lynn defeated Matt Hardy at 7:24. With Referee Mike Posey knocked down in the action, Hardy slid a folding chair into the ring and tried to give his opponent the Twist of Hate onto it, however a quick boot to the midsection allowed Lynn to reverse the move into his Cradle Piledriver. Posey recovered to make the three count on Hardy.
4. "King of the Mountain" Jeff Jarrett (w/ guitar and wife Karen) over Eric Young (w/ wife ODB and a flask of who-knows-what) at 6:50.

After the bout, ODB & Eric challenged the Jarretts to a mixed tag match next week.
5. Chavo Guerrero & "Super-Mex" Hernandez beat the tandem of "The Blueprint" Matt Morgan & sleazy Joey Ryan by DQ at 7:09. Giant Matt Morgan thought he had won the match for his team after flattening Hernandez with his Carbon Footprint (Running Big Boot) but "Super-Mex" amazingly kicked out after a count of two and a half. Morgan was beside himself and took his rage out on Referee Brian Stiffler who he had accused of deliberately making a slow count. Morgan tossed the diminutive ref over the top rope and out onto the floor to draw the disqualification.
6. In an epic battle, "Olympic Gold Medalist" Kurt Angle bested Mr. Anderson at 19:18 in a match that featured both men kicking out of each other's finishers.

2. The Naturals (Andy Douglas & Chase Stevens) defeated the Jersey Shore (Robbie E & bouncer Big Robbie T) at 6:28. The Jersey Shore continues to have their problems functioning as a cohesive unit as Robbie T accidently smashed "The List, 'Bro" Clipboard over his own partners head to set up the pinfall for Chase Stevens.
3. Kid Kash (w/ Gunner) was DQ'd by Referee Scott James for outside interference in his match with Crimson at 5:29. Gunner ran into the ring to break up Crimson's pin attempt after Kash was laid out with the Red Sky (Sit Out Spinebuster) finisher.
4. Special Mixed Tag Team Challenge Match. The bout between the Jarretts (Jeff & Karen w/ guitar) and the Youngs (Eric & ODB w/ flask) was ruled a "No Contest" at 7:05 when Karen Jarrett tried to bash ODB with the guitar but accidently clobbered Referee Bruce Gray with it instead when her opponent ducked. Gray was knocked out cold and unable to render a decision. Scott James will officiate the balance of the card. Prior to the match, ODB offered Guest Ring Announcer Frank Coutinho a swig from her flask. Frank took one sniff of its contents and politely declined.
5. Devon (w/ "Aces & Eights" Member DOC) over "Cowboy" James Storm via Count Out at 9:47. DOC pulled the top rope down as Storm was being whipped to the ropes causing the Cowboy to take a bad tumble out onto the floor. Storm was unable to answer Referee Scott James' ten count after the spill.
6. TNA TV Title Match. Defending Champion "Pope" D'Angelo Dinero (w/ Father James Mitchell) was unseated by his challenger Rob Van Dam and the Five Star Frog Splash at 13:40.

TNA Security quickly stepped in to separate the two combatants. Aries, with a noticable bump on his forehead, was livid as Van Dam celebrated in the ring with the TV Title.

2. Hillbilly Jim (w/ Lucky Horseshoe) defeated Tiger Chung Lee (w/ Kendo Stick) at 7:09. Some anxious moments for the big Hillbilly here as Jim had his problems combating the martial arts expertise of his Korean opponent. The end came for Lee when Jim ducked to avoid a smash with the Kendo Stick. The weapon bounced back off the top rope and hit Tiger square in the forehead leading to the pinfall.
3. Tito Santana beat "Canada's Greatest Athlete" Iron Mike Sharpe (w/ Suspicious Left Forearm Pad). Tito connected with the Flying Forearm off the ropes to put away Sharpe at 6:48. Arriba !
4. "Mr. U.S.A." Tony Atlas over Big John Studd (w/ $5,000 Body Slam Challenge & Bobby "The Brain" Heenan) by DQ at 9:17. It appeared as though "Mr. U.S.A." was well on his way to becoming $5,000 richer as he hoisted Studd up for a Body Slam, but Bobby Heenan ran in with a Double Axe Handle to Tony's back to foil the attempt and draw the disqualification from Referee Jack Terry. The fans heckled Heenan with lots of "Weasel !" chants throughout the contest.
5. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper (w/ "Hot Rod" T-Shirt & Kilt) & his bodyguard "Ace" Cowboy Bob Orton Jr. (w/ Suspicious Forearm Cast) defeated the U.S. Express (Mike Rotundo & Barry Windham) at 11:19. With Piper flailing away in Barry Windham's Sleeper Hold and fading fast, Orton came off the top rope with a clubbing blow to Barry's back with his controversial cast as Referee Swede Hansen was sending Rotundo back to his corner. Swede turned around to find Piper covering the dazed Windham and counted the pin.
6. In the Main Event, Sergeant Slaughter (w/ Swagger Stick & a Salute for Old Glory) defeated "Dr. D" David Schultz by disqualification at 13:51. Schultz was caught in the Sarge's Cobra Clutch and slugged Referee Jack Terry to draw the DQ and save himself from the submission.

Referees: Dick Woehrle, Mario Savoldi & Billy Caputo
1. Salvatore Bellomo (w/ No Crowd Support Whatsoever) defeated "The Duke of Dorchester" Pete Doherty (w/ Missing Teeth and Marbles) at 4:43. The unorthodox and highly entertaining Duke was clearly the fan favorite tonight and nearly pulled off a victory with a handful of tights however Referee Dick Woehrle caught the infraction and stopped his pin count. Doherty had a fit in the ring, and after giving Woehrle and earful, turned around right into a Mule Kick from Bellomo for the pinfall.
2. Greg "The Hammer" Valentine (w/ Manager "Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart & Annoying Megaphone) methodically dismantled promising youngster Paul Roma. Valentine was relentless in his assault on Roma's left knee and won the match with his Figure Four Leglock at 4:08.
3. B. Brian Blair used his aerial assault to get by rugged Moondog Spot (w/ Nasty Bone on a String) at 7:39. Spotty was reaching for his bone which was hanging in the corner when he was Drop Kicked from behind by Blair. The force of the kick sent Spot crashing into the turnbuckle and staggering backward into a Bridging Roll Up for the pinfall.
4. Nikolai Volkoff (w/ Classy Freddie Blassie & Russian National Anthem Rendition) had no idea what to do with Uncle Elmer. The big Hillbilly seemed to have a counter for anything that Volkoff threw at him. The frustrated Russian threw up his hands and walked out on the match provoking a chorus of "Boos!" and debris from the fans as he returned to the locker room. Your Winner: Uncle Elmer via Count Out at 5:16.
5. Big John Studd & Ken Patera (w/ Manager Bobby "The Brain" Heenan) defeated "America's Hero" Sergeant Slaughter & his protege Corporal Kirchner at 8:50.

6. In the Main Event, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka from the Fiji Islands over Tampa, FL's "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff (w/ "Rowdy" Roddy Piper) by DQ at 11:34. After a couple of leap frogs off the ropes, Snuka decked Mr. Wonderful with a Reverse Chop and was ready to deliver his Superfly Splash when he was shoved off the top rope from behind by Piper. Referee Billy Caputo immediately called for the bell as the heels put the boots to Snuka. The Tonga Kid ran in from the back to make the save.

3. WWF Intercontinental Champion Magnificent Muraco joined forces with his manager Mr. Fuji to defeat the masked Invaders I & II in a tag team bout at 6:40. Muraco, who wrestled the bulk of the match for his team, planted Invader #2 with his Tombstone Piledriver and then tagged in Fuji to allow his manager the honor of making the pin.
4. Sergeant Slaughter from Parris Island, SC had his problems with "Canada's Greatest Athlete" Iron Mike Sharpe from Hamilton, Ontario and his dubious right forearm pad. Sharpe kept fiddling and fidgeting and re-adjusting the pad throughout the match but it was highly effective. Everytime the brace came into play, the Sarge went down like a ton of bricks. Slaughter prevailed in the end, though. The fans were hoping to see the Cobra Clutch but got the Slaughter Cannon (Flying Clothesline off the 2nd rope) instead for the winning pinfall at 8:31.
5. Tony Garea, nearing the end of his career in the ring, tested newcomer Brutus Beefcake from San Francisco, CA (w/ "Luscious" Johnny V) but went down for the count after a Running High Knee Smash off the ropes at 7:17.
6. In the Main Event, Tito Santana and "Ace" Cowboy Bob Orton were both counted out by Referee Terry Yorkston at 14:25 after the action spilled out of the ring and onto the floor. After the decision, the fired up Santana jumped back into the ring with a challenge for his opponent, "Let's finish this right now, Orton !!" The fans' roars of approval quickly turned to boos, however, when Orton feigned re-entering the ring, smiled, and did an abrupt about face and returned to the locker room.

3. Barry Windham (w/ U.S. Express tag team partner Mike Rotundo) defeated Terry Gibbs with a Bulldog out of the corner at 4:22. The veteran Gibbs did not go down without a fight and got in his fair share of offense before Barry turned the tables on him. Gibbs staggered out of the corner after having his head rammed repeatedly into the turnbuckle and was driven face-first into the mat with the finisher.
4. "Adorable" Adrian Adonis put Jose Luis Rivera to sleep with the Goodnight Irene at 4:47. Adonis may have taken this match a bit too lightly as Rivera held the early advantage, however "The Adorable One" took control after catching his opponent with a DDT on Rivera's Back Body Drop attempt. Adonis probably could have pinned him after that but opted to use his Sleeper Hold instead.
5. The Moondogs (Rex & Spot w/ Nasty Looking Bones) beat the team of Salvatore Bellomo & Nick DeCarlo at 5:14. DeCarlo was pinned with the Moondogs double team finisher (Rex Backbreaker across the knee and Spot Elbow Drop off the 2nd rope).
6. "Mr. U.S.A." Tony Atlas and Nikolai Volkoff (w/ "Classy" Freddie Blassie) were both counted out by Referee Jack Lotz at 9:11 as they battled around ringside.

USA !" from the boisterous crowd.
7. In the Main Event, Blackjack Mulligan beat Big John Studd (w/ $5,000 Body Slam Challenge & Bobby "The Brain" Heenan) by DQ for outside interference at 8:43. Blackjack appeared to be on the verge of cashing in on the Challenge when he hoisted Studd up off his feet with relative ease, but fellow Heenan Family member Ken Patera raced in with a Flying Knee Smash to Mulligan's back. The big Cowboy from Eagle Pass, TX crumpled to the canvas and was in a bad way as the Heenan Family surrounded him. Studd and Patera put the boots to Mulligan until loud cheers from the fans ushered in "The Eighth Wonder of the World" Andre the Giant who lumbered down to ringside to run off the heels.
