ROBERTS!

Chris Cruise is in the ring waiting for him!

Chris: “Jake Roberts, have I been waiting to ask some questions of you! CHRIS CANDIDO came out here two weeks ago, and brazenly challenged you. And then, last week, came out to ringside in a failed bid to distract you in your match against former AWA champion Mr. Saito.

“As we approach a big night of wrestling in Nashville this Monday night, what say you sir, to one Mister Chris Candido?

Jake rubs his chin and smirks into the camera: “. . . . . . . . You know something, Chris Cruise, there’s an old saying back in Stone Mountain Georgia that goes a little something like this: ‘If you wanna get the snakes out, stir up the woodpile.’

"Well, young Chris Candido, good for you, son, that’s exactly what you have done, you stirred up the woodpile, and you got the snakes out all right. And I accept your challenge for this Monday night, March 5 in Nashville.
.
.

.
.
.
.
.


“But the thing is this, Chris Candido . . . there’s a second half to that saying that only folks from Stone Mountain know and I will dare reveal for the first time on national television. You may stir up the woodpile to get the snake out . . . . . but . . .
.
.
.
.
.
.
‘You don’t what kind of snakes will come out.

“See, Chris Candido, most of those snakes will be king snakes . . . . garden snakes . . . .. garter snakes . . . . rat snakes . . . . all of whom bite, but really not that hard. Hell, son, you might even get lucky and get a bunch of corn snakes . . . they are so gentle you can take all of ‘em home and keep them as pets!

“But then . . . . there’s that one in 100 chance you might just get snake slithering out of that woodpile you don’t want . . . . .and when they bite . .. . poison comes out. ENOUGH POISON TO KILL A MAN. I’m talking about the RATTLESNAKE, SON . . . or the COPPERHEAD . . .or the CORAL SNAKE . . . . or heh he . . .maybe even . . . .
.
.
.
.
.
.
“A KING COBRA.

“The question YOU have to ask Chris Candido is now that you have stirred up the woodpile, just exactly what kind of snake have YOU extracted when you a step into the ring with ME March 5 in Nashville, Tennessee?

“Let me give you a hint:
.
.
.
.
“I sure as hell ain't no corn snake. Ha . . . ha ha ha . . . . .

“Trust me, Chris Candido . . . . ha ha ha . . . .
.
.
.
.
.
.
" TRUST . . . ME! HAHAHAHAHA!



Chris: “THERE HE GOES, JAKE THE SNAKE ROBERTS, and fans, you just have to wonder, just WHAT did Chris Candido get himself into March 5 at Slam ‘Ol Opry? THE EXECUTIONER is in the ring, lets get ready for our first match!

Boni Blackstone is joined by AUSTIN IDOL! Boni tells the fans we will take a special look at Idol's opponent for Monday night, DAN ‘THE BEAST’ SEVERN, and then get Idols comments!

Highlights from Dan Severn's career is shown:



Boni: “Austin Idol, last week I feel Dan Severn and his manager may have disrespected you for saying that their match this Monday night was simply a ‘warm-up’ for the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Idol: “Let me tell ya something Boni, I know you and you know me and if there’s one thing we both know is that on any given night if you don’t show the proper respect to your opponent you can get burned. Now the Universal Heartthrob has all the respect in the world for what Dan Severn does inside that 8 sided cage, heck, if I weren’t so damned pretty maybe I would consider getting in there and having a go with some of them fellers, but here’s the thing Dan Severn it’s a WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY when you step inside the four sided version with Austin Idol, baby!

“I just showed you respect but then your big mouthed manager Scotty Bowden shows no respect to the entire AWA by saying the great Austin Idol aint nuthin but a warm up match to some pay per view? Well, Dan Severn this Monday night let me tell YOU something forget about the poisonous snake that Chris Candido just slithered out of the woodpile with Jake Roberts, I’m gonna not only teach you a lesson in respect as it pertains to the AWA, but SEE the fact is I’m using YOU as a warm-up match for another run at the AWA world title!

Boni: “THEN UNIVERSAL HEARTTHROB is not in any way intimidated by the UFC credentials of DAN SEVERN THIS MONDAY NIGHT! More AWA Southern Championship Wrestling after this!

AWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION TERRY GORDY in holding as mike in a predated interview! The camera pans on his belt and then out to Terry.

Terry: “So what the AWA needs is a Nature Boy to hold the belt, is that what you said, Buddy Landell? Well, son I think if you asked each and every fan across Tennessee, Kentucky, and all throughout the Southern they would say what the AWA needs is a COUNTRY BOY to hold this belt, and that is exactly what I plan to give em!

Terry: “Take a look at it rassling fans, once again Terry Gordy holds a world title belt. And on March 5, all I been hearin’ about is how the AWA needs a ‘Nature Boy’. Well, to quote Hank Williams Junior, I don't know about no Nature Boy, but a COUNTRY BOY WILL SURVIVE, AND SURVIVE AH WILL MARCH 5 IN NASHVILLE!

TERRY GORDY def. JIMMY JACK FUNK

Chris: “Fans, they have a rematch with the Hard Rock Express set for this Monday night, lets get THESE comments from the Midnite Express!
.

.
.

In a pretaped promo Rev George South with Stan Lane and Dennis Condrey mock Steve Keirn as a “scorned old man” and say that the only reason they got beat by the “punk” Hard Rock Express is because they never heard of David Morton or Michael Gibson, they don’t have any video of them, but in Nashville it will be a different story!
