6) The Rock n’ Roll Express: Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson defeated The Gilberts: “Hotstuff” Eddie Gilbert & Tommy Gilbert (w/ Jimmy Hart) via pinfall at 20:05 when Morton and Gibson hit the stereo dropkicks on Eddie to score the pin. “Hotstuff” Eddie Gilbert was furious after the bout at his recent reversal of fortunes.

7) CWA Heavyweight Champion ”Superstar” Bill Dundee defeated Robert Fuller via pinfall at 19:34 when Dundee connected with the Bomb’s Away knee drop across Fuller’s chest to score the win.

8) Jerry “The King” Lawler defeated Southern Heavyweight Champion King Kong Bundy & Rick Rude (w/ Jimmy Hart) via pinfall at 15:37 when Lawler rolled up Rude. The King made his way to the ring by himself, but then pointed to the black curtain and out came… Jake “The Snake” Roberts! The fans were stunned to see Jake Roberts in Lawler’s corner, and early on he just eyed Jimmy Hart. Lawler was double-teamed and seemed to be in trouble. Jimmy Hart was grandstanding and didn’t notice that The Snake was sneaking up on him. Roberts collared Hart, which led to Bundy dropping down from the corner. Roberts held on to Hart and backed around the ring, leading Bundy to chase him. Rude had Lawler set up for the neckbreaker in the ring, but became distracted. Lawler shoved him off, connected with a brutal right hand to the jaw and then rolled up Rude for a pin. As soon as the bell rung, Jake hurled Hart at Bundy and began decking him. Bundy fought back, but out came The King! Lawler and Roberts double-teamed Bundy and hurled him head-first into the steel turnbuckle. Blood began trickling down Bundy’s forehead as Hart and Rude rushed over. Lawler was grand-standing as he walked to the back, while Roberts just showed a sly smile.

Great night of action at MSC! Really like the pairing of Dutch and White Boy, though I did miss Tracey Smothers tonight. Rock n Rolls vs. The Gilbert's was fun as well. I think Dundee vs. Fuller would have been outstanding. I would love to see more out of those two. But man oh man what a main event. Well played by Jake, using Hart that way. Seeing Bundy bleeding would certainly be an unreal sight. I can't wait for TV and Mouth and Bundy's reactions. Whatever jobber draws Bundy on Saturday should just go ahead and retire, because that will not be a good day at the office. King and Snake's promos will be something to behold. As bad as I wanted Jake in Alabama, I love him being in Memphis. Great show.

Loved this show. I knew you drafted Roberts, but I didn't think of him joining the King. This has the pontential to be a great program. Mantell and the White Boy make a great combination. I've never been the biggest Memphis fan, but I love what you are doing.

Good show, can't wait top see where this Lawler, Roberts alliance goes

[Kimmel]

I really like the team of Zenk and Doll, I think they could gain some traction, though being in the same promotion with RNR could hold them back, that is unless they decide to stop pandering to the fans.......

Rich and Mantell is far from over, and I think it will just get bloodier and wilder as things go on.

Eddie Gilbert better put the breaks on this free fall he seems to be on, or next thing you know he'll be putting over Keith Eric in the opening matches!


Jake Roberts is a dangerous choice for a partner, though if the King wanted someone who could fight fire with fire, he picked the right guy, the war that is about to rage has the potential to burn CWA completely to the ground, and Roberts will laugh all the way to the funeral pyre.

[Sniper Niles]

Mantell finally has a man that he can trust in DWB!! Rich is finished.

What the heck is up with the Snake. Why would you want to associate yourself with a punk like Lawler? I'm thinking that he made a very big mistake.

Great main event. Big win for the King; but I wonder how long he can trust Roberts. Probably just until he gives him that $10,000.
