UWF Thursday Night Collision Airing live from the DC Armory Washington, D.C. 12/02/93 Video recapping the happenings of last week’s show shown. Heavy emphasis on the Muta sneak attack of Sting. The title wins of Tito Santana and the Midnight Express are also spotlighted.   Jim Ross (in the interview area): Wrestling fans, welcome to another episode of UWF Thursday Night Collision! We are LIVE from the DC Armory in the nation’s capitol. I’m Jim Ross, joined at the moment by Sting. Last week, you were a victim of an attack by one of your greatest rivals, The Great Muta. How are you feeling?  Sting: I’m feeling angry, JR! Muta, I owe you a beating for what you did to me last week! Expect payback tonight in the battle royal. Ross: Now, Sting, this battle royal is to determine the top two contenders for the UWF World Heavyweight title. Do you think that going into the match so angry and focused on one man might hurt your chances when there’ll be 18 other guys in there, and not just you and Muta? Sting: I’m sure that is exactly what Gary Hart is hoping for, but as focused as I am on Muta, I’m even more focused on the World Title. Just remember, Muta, you are mine! I gotta go get ready, JR. *walks off, and Bob Caudle joins Ross*  Bob Caudle: Wow! The Stinger sure is fired up Jim. I can’t wait to see what happens in the battle royal. Ross: We’ve got quite the lineup tonight, Bob. TV Champion Tito Santana will defend his championship against up-and-comer Chris Kanyon. Also, the sensational young Mexican star, Juventud Guerrera will take on the veteran, “Dirty” Dick Slater. Caudle: Of course, the main event is the 20-man battle royal. The final two participants remaining will meet at Path to Glory for the UWF World Heavyweight Championship. Let’s go down to the ring. Here is Gary Michael Capetta. Capetta introduces the competitors of the opening match, “Dirty” Dick Slater and Juventud Guerrera.  vs  Referee Billy Silverman checks both men and gets the match started. Slater seems unsure how to attack the luchadore, finally cornering Guerrera in a corner. He rushes in, but the masked man ducks under and lands a dropkick square in the chest, followed by 2 armdrags. Slater bails to the floor to rethink his strategy. He re-enters the ring at the 8-count and locks up with Guerrera, backing him into a corner. Instead of a clean break, Slater delivers a back elbow smash to the face, and a knee in the gut. Irish whip into the ropes and Slater goes for a backdrop, but Juvi lands on his feet and hip tosses “Dirty” Dick. A hurrancarana sends Slater out to the floor again. Guerrera quickly climbs to the top rope and crashes down on Slater with a somersault dive. Both men beat the 10-count back into the ring, where Juvi looks to take advantage of Slater’s dazed state. Slater rakes the eyes of his opponent, and slows the match down with choke holds and starts to work the legs of Guerrera. Slater puts him in a Boston Crab, but Juvi makes it to the ropes. Guerrera gets cornered again, but he fights back with quick right hands, and grabs Slater in a front facelock, springs to the 2nd rope and hits with a tornado DDT! Juvi is slow to get up, but connects with a sitout facebuster for 2! Slater is in trouble as Guerrera goes back up to the top rope. He goes for a somersault leg drop, but misses as Slater moves out of the way. Slater drags him to the center of the ring and locks in the figure-four leglock. Juvi is too far away to reach the ropes, and Slater is too savvy to let the hold get reversed. Guerrera has no choice but to submit at the 6:33 mark. Ross: Very impressive performance by the youngster, but too much experience by Slater sealed his fate. We’ve got to take a commercial break, don’t touch that dial! Commercial Break Bob Caudle is in the interview area with one of tonight’s battle royal participants, Stan Hansen.  Caudle: Welcome ba------ Hansen: Shut yer face, Caudle! Listen up, all you rasslers here in the UWF. My name is Stan “The Lariat” Hansen, and I’m issuing the only warning you’re gonna get. I’m here to win the world title and make as much money as I can. Stay out of my way, or I’ll put you in a hospital. For the other 19 so-called “men” in tonight’s battle royal, you better jump over the top rope if I’m headed your way, or this bull’s giving you the horns. *storms off* Caudle: Um, I guess it’s time for our next match. Capetta sets the stage for the TV title defense. It’s the champion, Tito Santana, defending his newly won title against Chris Kanyon.  vs  Randy “Pee Wee” Anderson is the referee for this bout, and as he’s giving pre-match instructions to both men, Kanyon attacks Santana, with a kick to the gut, and right hands to the face. Irish whip is reversed and Tito goes up high and connects with a dropkick to the jaw of his younger opponent. Body slam by Santana, followed by an atomic drop that sends Kanyon to the floor to regroup at the 2:30 mark Commercial break We return to action, and see that Kanyon is now in control of the match, dropping knees onto Santana’s shoulder. Ross: Fans, during the break, Tito chased Kanyon around on the floor, as Kanyon set up an ambush. He delivered a knee lift as Santana was getting back into the ring, and then sent Tito flying into the steel barricade, shoulder-first. Caudle: This Kanyon fellow is showing a lot of ring smarts, Jim. Very impressive how he maneuvered Santana into position for the knee lift that turned this match around. Kanyon has Tito on the mat and is cranking on a hammerlock. Santana fights to his feet and reverses, but a back elbow puts Tito back on the mat. Good counter-wrestling by both men follows for a couple of minutes, before Kanyon pulls the hair to regain control of a headlock. Kanyon goes for a vertical suplex, but Tito fights off the attempt and suplexes Kanyon. Both men slug it out, then Kanyon grabs a quick standing headlock. Santana pushes him off into the ropes and the do a criss cross, with Tito leaping over the head of Kanyon and blasting him with another dropkick. Santana backs him into a corner, climbs to the middle rope and starts punching away, with the crowd counting to 10! Tito with a high crossbody, but it only gets a 2-count. Headscissors takedown gets another 2-count for Santana. Tito is on fire. As Kanyon struggles to get up, Santana gets a full head of steam and goes for his patented flying forearm. Kanyon ducks at the last second, and Tito lands in the ropes, landing awkwardly on his shoulder. Kanyon lifts up Tito and connects with a Samoan Drop, making sure Santana lands on the bad shoulder. He connects with a Swinging Fisherman Suplex, but Tito gets his foot across the bottom rope before the ref’s hand comes down for the 3! Kanyon seems to be frustrated. He lifts Santana up on his shoulders for an Electric Chair Drop, but Tito backflips out. Pushing Kanyon into the ropes, Santana rolls him up, but only gets 2. Kanyon reverses an Irish Whip, sending Santana into the ropes, but misses a clothesline. On the rebound, Santana springs forward, connecting with the flying forearm. Anderson counts the pinfall and Tito Santana has successfully defended his TV title! Ross: What a great title match! Chris Kanyon showed a lot of potential there, Bob. Caudle: I was very impressed with his performance. He’s a champion in the making, but Tito showed his championship credentials. It’s time for a break, but when we come back, it’s main event time! Commercial break We’re back from break with 18 of the participants already in the ring. Gary Hart and Sensational Sherri have accompanied Great Muta and Harlem Heat, respectively. Jim Cordaris, Randy Anderson, and Billy Silverman are on the outside of the ring to keep up with the eliminations. Jake “The Snake” Roberts slowly makes his way out to the ring and slides into the ring, when the oh-so-familiar music of Sting fills the arena! Classic Sting Entrance Theme WCWRoss: The DC fans are going nuts, Bob! Caudle: I don’t think I’ve ever heard a crowd as loud as this one! Here he comes! Sting storms the ring to a thunderous pop. He makes a bee line for Muta, but runs into a lariat by Stan Hansen and appears to be in a lot of pain. With that, Jim Cordaris calls for the bell. Dr. Tom Pritchard and Jimmy Del Ray look to take advantage of Sting’s predicament, but Iceman Parsons is there to lend a hand to the Stinger. Terry Gordy and Hansen square off in center-ring and start slugging it out, appearing to have the time of their lives. “Dr. Death” Steve Williams works over Tim Horner in the corner and easily tosses him over the top, out to the floor. Muta is choking down Norman Smiley in another corner. Butch Reed and Stevie Ray have a good brawl going. Roberts is moving slowly, avoiding contact, looking for an opening. Hiroshi Hase and Kensuke Sasaki have double-teamed on Booker T, while Dick Slater has Larry Zbyszko in trouble on the ropes. Hansen takes out Parsons and eliminates him. As Sting tries to get his bearings, Muta delivers a jumping spin kick to the chest. Sting goes down and Muta grabs Del Ray by the hair and tosses him out in one smooth movement. La Parka is dancing after body slamming Sasaki. Gordy moves in behind Slater and Zbysko and gets rid of both men. Reed and Williams are going at it now, as Muta utilizes a nerve hold on Sting in a corner. Booker with a leg lariat to Super Crazy. Commercial break Ross: We’re back, fans.

When Hansen turns around, Muta sprays him in the eyes with red mist! Sting dropkicks Hansen over the top rope, the tackles Muta. Roberts eliminates La Parka. Sasaki and Hase attack Sting after Gary Hart gives them the high sign. Caudle: Jim, did you see that? Are Hase and Sasaki aligned with Hart and Muta? Ross: If so, he’s got a formidable stable. Gordy and Williams start fighting each other, as Super Crazy is tossed out by Butch Reed, who has gotten back to his feet. Sting is barely hanging on in the corner, as Hart’s Japanese contingent attempts to get rid of him. Stevie Ray comes up from behind and manages to get rid of Sasaki, but Hase and Muta hold on. Reed gets tossed out by Booker. Jake Roberts makes a move to get rid of Sting, but gets slugged down. Dr. Death goes to work on Muta. He lifts him up for a press slam, but starts walking to the ropes. Ross: He’s gonna slam out into the crowd!!! Muta claws Williams’ eyes, but before he can move to eliminate him, Sting grabs Muta by the hair. He throws him into the far corner, and hits the Stinger Splash! Gordy gets rid of big Stevie Ray. Roberts is struggling to get rid of Dr. Death, so he moves onto Hase, but gets stunned with a kick to the ribs. Booker and Gordy are having a go against the ropes. Roberts with the short-armed clothesline on Booker. Williams football tackles Hase. An Oklahoma Stampede leaves Hase dazed and Williams is able to get rid of him. Muta and Sting are tearing into each other in the corner. Roberts goes to push them both over the top rope. Sting manages to maintain his balances and slide under the bottom rope. Muta holds on as well, but The Snake hits him with a knee lift as he sticks his head back into the ring. Muta falls to the floor, eliminated because he didn’t re-establish himself as being back in the ring. Gordy and Williams double-team Booker and get rid of him. Caudle: We’re down to Gordy, Williams, Sting, and Roberts! Ross: Sting looks upset at Roberts. He wanted to take out Muta, but The Snake took that opportunity away from him. Sting goes right after Roberts with right hands. Williams and Gordy look at each other and then move towards Sting and Roberts. “Bamm Bamm” takes on Roberts, while Williams grabs Sting. Doc with a football tackle on Sting, followed up by right hands. Sting escapes a suplex attempt and gets an atomic drop on the good doctor. Gordy is hammering Roberts in the corner. Jake is covered up pretty well, though. He finds an opening when Gordy slows down a bit, stinging Bamm Bamm with a couple of quick, stiff jabs. A right hand puts Gordy on the mat, and Roberts chokes him with the bottom rope. Sting and Williams are trading right hands and everyone in the arena is standing. Gordy with an elbow to the gut of Roberts and he delivers some shoulderblocks in the corner. He goes for a big haymaker, but Roberts ducks under and backdrops the big man out!

Sting builds up some speed coming off the ropes and clotheslines Williams down! He whips Dr. Death into a corner and takes off to the corner . . . and lands the Stinger Splash! Caudle: Williams caught him, Jim! Ross: I’ve never seen anything like that before! Williams has Sting in his arms after catching him on the Splash attempt. He runs Sting into the opposite corner, ramming his back into the turnbuckle. He runs him into another corner, but Sting grabs the top rope, so that Doc can’t complete the move. Roberts then moves in and grabs the hair and trunks of Williams and tosses him out while he’s still holding onto Sting. Williams and Sting hit the floor at the same time, leaving Roberts by himself, smiling. Dr. Death and the Stinger looked stunned. Caudle: Jim, this match was supposed to determine the top 2 contenders, but only one man has been left standing. What does this mean for the PPV and the title match? Ross: I honestly don’t know, Bob. Maybe Roberts will be awarded the championship. He certainly seems to think so, as he’s in the ring calling for the belt. Oh my gawd! We’re outta time, folks. Tune in next week to see the fate of the World Title! |

UWF Thursday Night Collision Airing live from the Dusquene Gardens Pittsburgh, PA 12/09/93 Video recapping the happenings of last week’s show shown. Highlights of the main event battle royal are shown. Jake Roberts gets spotlighted here, showing his craftiness in winning. The confusion on the faces of Dr. Death and Sting end the recap. Bill Watts, President of the UWF, is in the center of the ring.  Watts: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome again to Thursday Night Collision. As you saw at the end of last week’s show, the battle royal DID NOT come to a finish of 2 men left standing. Jake “The Snake” Roberts found a way to be the winner of a match designed to determine the top two contenders for the World Heavyweight Championship. That leaves me a in quite a predicament, let me tell ya. Roberts, of course, thinks he should be the champ based on his win last week. The problem with that is that the match WAS NOT for the title. So here’s what is gonna happen. Roberts has earned his place in the World Title match at Path to Glory. As to who his opponent is gonna be, we’ll be settling that issue tonight, LIVE in Pittsburgh! We’re gonna have the final two men that were eliminated from the battle royal hook ‘em up in tonight’s main event! That’s right, one-on-one, it’s gonna be Steve “Dr. Death” Williams vs Sting! Bob Caudle: Wow, Jim! What an announcement by the President of the UWF, Bill Watts. And what a main event. Jim Ross: The Cowboy had a long week to think about the title situation, and I think he came up with a great solution. I’m sure Roberts is angry that he’s not champion, but last week’s main event was only for a shot at the title. Caudle: Along with tonight’s blockbuster main event, we’ve also got the young tag team, Harlem Heat in action. Also in action tonight will be the mysterious Great Muta, no doubt Gary Hart will be in tow. Ross: Let’s take you back to the ring, as James Earl Wright and his partner, George South, are on their way to the ring. Gary Michael Capetta introduces Wright and South, and then their opponents, The Harlem Heat. They are accompanied to the ring by their manager, Sensational Sherri.  Booker T starts out with South and dominates immediately. He connects early with a kick to the jaw from an armwringer. *Jim Cornette joins Ross and Caudle at the announce area* Cornette: What the hell’s going on here, Ross?!? The big bad cowboy makes an announcement about the world title and the PPV, but nothing about the World Tag Team Titles? Are my men gonna get a chance to strut their stuff and show the world that there no better performers under the bright lights and big-money atmosphere than The Midnight Express? Bobby and Stan should be defending those gold belts at the big show in The Omni! Do you realize how big of a payday that is for us? Caudle: Goodness, Jim, take a minute to breathe. Ross: I know you like getting on TV and running your mouth, but maybe you should take your issue to the President if you want to make sure your guys have a PPV match. Cornette argues with the announcers some more, as Stevie Ray pins Wright after a dominating performance. Ross cuts Cornette off to go to a commercial break. Commercial Ross: We’re back, fans. And thankfully, without Jim Cornette. Caudle: He certainly loves the sound of his own voice, JR. How can a guy that outta shape be that long-winded? Ross: I don’t know, Bob. We’ve gotten a note from the President’s office announcing a couple of matches for Path to Glory on December 19: Tito Santana will defend his UWF TV Title against the Living Legend, Larry Zbyszko. Also, Terry “Bamm Bamm” Gordy will face the man we’re about to see in action, The Great Muta. Caudle: Speaking of Muta, let’s go back to the ring for our next match. Capetta first introduces “Iceman” King Parsons. “And his opponent, led to the ring by Gary Hart, hails from the Land of the Rising Sun. Weighing 240 lbs, The Greeeeeaaaaaat Muuuuuuttaaaaaa!!!”  Hart gives some advice to Muta in the corner, as referee Jim Cordaris calls for the bell. Parsons cautiously heads out to center ring to meet Muta. Muta starts out to meet him, and then seems to have some difficulty with his breathing, grasping at his throat. With a sudden movement, Muta looks up and sprays green mist into the air! Muta moves right into an attack, with a kick to the Iceman’s gut, chop to the head, and a body slam. The veteran, Parsons, seems overwhelmed by the superior speed and movement of Muta. Muta puts on a clinic for several minutes, with Parsons only getting nominal offense in. Muta whips Parsons into the far corner, and follows up with his patented handspring elbow. The assault ends with a jarring backbreaker and a spectacular moonsault for the 3-count. Gary Hart enters the ring, and is followed by Hiroshi Hase and Kensuke Sasaki. Hart: Watts! The fact that you’ve given Williams and Sting another opportunity to get a title match, but not The Great Muta is a travesty. But the dollar amount on the contract for my man to fight Terry Gordy at Path to Glory almost makes up for it. Gordy, this man you see before you is going to dissect you as easily as he did the Iceman tonight! And then our sights will be set on the world title. As for Jimmy Cornette demanding a team to defend those World Tag Team Titles against, I present to you Hase and Sasaki. One of the greatest tag teams to ever come out of Japan. If you and your men have the guts, put those belts on the line against MY team! They’re walking out of Atlanta with gold around their waists. Caudle: We’ve got to go to a break. When we come back, it’ll be time for the main event. Commercials Capetta: Wrestling fans, it’s time for the main event of the evening! Introducing first, from Norman, Oklahoma, weighing 287 lbs, “Dr. Death” Steeeeeeeeeeeve Willlllllliaaaaaaaaams!!!!  Capetta: And his opponent, from Venice Beach, California, weighing 255 lbs, this iiiiiiiiss Stiiiiiiiinnnnngg!  Randy Anderson checks both men and calls for the bell. Sting and Williams start pretty slowly in the early minutes, each going through a feel-out period. Caudle: Jim, you are very familiar with both of these competitors. How do they match up? Ross: Dr. Death as a few more years of experience on Sting, and that factor can never be overestimated. Especially Doc’s extensive time spent in Japan. Sting, of course, has toured the Orient several times, but Williams has competed there for years. Dr. Death is the toughest man I’ve ever met, and I’d give Williams a slight edge in strength. Sting’s no slouch in that department, though. The Stinger also has perhaps the most unique set of attributes in all of wrestling. He’s a solid 250 pounder. We’ve seen him suplex monsters like the 450 lb Van Vader, yet he’s quick and agile enough to fly around with light-heavyweights, and still go move-for-move with the best technical wrestlers in the world. He’s also one of the fastest learners I’ve ever been around in the sport. This match should be a classic. Dr. Death is starting to build momentum, after a back suplex. He’s definitely trying to keep Sting grounded. After he ducks under a clothesline, Sting connects with a dropkick that staggers Williams. Sting with a bodyslam, then hits the ropes and leaps high crashing down on the doctor’s chest with an elbow drop. Sting goes to the top rope and lands a missile dropkick, sending Williams to the floor. Caudle: He’s got Williams off-balance, Jim. Ross: And he’s looking to keep it that way. Sting goes for a pescado out to the floor . . . but Dr. Death catches him. Oh My!!! He just powerslammed Sting on the floor! We’ve got to go to a break fans. We’ll be right back! Commercials We come back and Williams has Sting in a rear chinlock, really cranking down on the neck, with his right knee placed between the shoulder blades. Caudle: Fans, during the break, we got word from President Watts’ office that at Path to Glory, The Midnight Express will be defending the World Tag Team Titles against Hase and Sakaki. Ross: This card is looking loaded. The fans are pretty torn between these great athletes. Sting starts to fight out of his predicament, getting to his feet before Dr. Death knees him in the lower back. Williams drops a knee to the face. Sting tries to regroup on the floor, but gets stopped before getting out of the ring. Doc uses the bottom rope to choke the Stinger, drawing some boos from the crowd. Doesn’t seem to bother Williams. He breaks before 5-count and Sting falls to the floor. Williams rams Sting into the ring apron, working on the back some more. He lifts Sting up, and drops him throat-first into the steel barricade around the ring. Back into the ring and Doc goes for a pin, only getting 2. Knees to the back and another pinfall attempt gets 2. Williams goes for a German suplex, but Sting hooks the leg to block the move. He elbows his way out of the waistlock, but gets slugged back down to the mat. Doc goes for an elbow drop, but Sting rolls out of the way. Caudle: The Stinger is trying to get some distance. Williams has done a great job of staying on top of Sting. Ross: Sting is looking to get a 2nd wind. Nice vertical suplex by Sting, but he’s too hurt to make a cover. Sting seems to have recovered nicely, though still bothered by his back. He manages to speed the match up, hiptossing Dr. Death, then monkey flipping him out of the corner. A couple of running clothelines, and Sting is pounding his chest. He goes back up to the top rope, but Williams crotches him before taking flight. Doc with a top-rope superplex as we go to break. Commercials Ross: We’re back to the main event. They’ve been going at it for over 20 minutes now. The Pittsburgh crowd is electric, trying to help Sting get out of this full nelson. Caudle: He’s actually doing it, Jim! He’s overpowering Dr. Death. This is unreal! Sting does manage to break Williams’ hold, but the good Doctor calmly positions Sting’s arms and delivers a release Tiger suplex! 1 . . . 2 . . . Sting gets his left shoulder up with Pee Wee’s hand half an inch away from the 3-count! Williams sends Sting into the ropes, but Sting leaps coming off the rebound, flipping in the air and connecting with a spinning heel kick. Both men slug it out when they get back up, with Williams gaining the advantage. He sets Sting up for the Doctor Bomb, but Sting hooks the leg to prevent the move. Sting manages a double-leg takedown and quickly hooks up a Scorpion Deathlock and turns Williams over. Sting can’t sit back fully, his back still hurting. Williams fights his way to the ropes, forcing a break. Sting back to the top rope, and he flies, landing on Doc with a flying bodypress. Williams rolls through and hooks the tights, but only gets 2. Sting with the Irish Whip, but gets shoulderblocked down. Williams goes into his 3-point stance and charges, but Sting sidesteps him. Williams crashes into the corner, hitting his shoulder against the steel ring post. Ross: When you have flesh and bone going up against steel, steel always wins. Sting, already in motion, leaps and connects with the Stinger Splash on the back of Williams in the corner. German suplex and then back up to the top rope. Sting leaps high and hits the big splash off the top. 1 . . . 2 . . . 3! Ross: Sting gets the title shot! Caudle: What a great match. Both men gave it their all. Ross: That’s all the time we have, fans. We’ll see you next week! |

UWF Thursday Night Collision Airing live from The Pyramid Memphis, TN 12/16/93 Video recapping the happenings of last week’s show shown. Highlights of a dominant Harlem Heat are shown. Muta destroying Parsons is shown, and several key moments of the Steve Williams vs Sting main event are featured. Gary Michael Capetta is out introducing the competitors of our first match: First, from Morristown, TN, weighing 220 lbs, “White Lightning” Tim Horner. And his opponent, from Knox City, Texas, weighing 304 lbs, Stan “The Lariat” Haaaaaaaannnseeeeeeenn.  vs  Jim Ross: Welcome to Thursday Night Collision! We’re getting underway with our first match. Bob Caudle: I don’t like White Lightning’s chances here, Jim. Hansen starts off quickly, kneeing Horner in the guy, then elbowing the back of the head. Scoop slam, 2 elbow drops, and then Hansen waits for Horner to get back up. Hansen bounces off of the ropes to gain momentum and tries to take Horner’s head off with a lariat. Referee Randy Anderson counts to three and Hansen storms off to the announce area, grabbing a headset. Hansen: Don’t you open yer mouth, Ross! I’m issuing a challenge right now, to the winner of the World Title Match this Sunday. I don’t care if the champion is Sting, what kinda name is that anyway? Well, I don’t care if it’s Sting or Jake Roberts. I want the first shot at that belt. Bill Watts, you make it happen or you’ll be in a world of hurt. I also demand a match at Path to Glory. I don’t care who it is, as long as I get a payday. *throws headset down and storms off* Caudle: That’s one angry Texan, Jim. Ross: The Lariat is in rare form. Ladies and gentlemen, as you’ve heard, this Sunday in the Omni in Atlanta, Georgia is Path to Glory. The main event is for the vacant UWF World Heavyweight Championship. Jake “The Snake” Roberts takes on former world champ Sting. Caudle: That’s an outstanding matchup! Roberts has a huge experience edge, and the most devastating finishing move in all of professional wrestling. Sting, of course, is a former title holder and seemingly has the advantage in every physical attribute. Ross: That he does, Bob, but The Snake is possibly the smartest athlete in all of wrestling, and he is the master of mind games. It should be quite a match, and well worth the ticket price alone. But that’s not all we have in store for Sunday. We’ll run down the rest of the card as we go. It’s time for a short break. Don’t turn that dial! Commercials Caudle: Welcome back, wrestling fans. Let’s go back to the ring. Capetta: Our next bout is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, at a combined weight of 390 lbs, Juventud Guerrera and La Parka!!! And their opponents, being led out by their manager, Jim Cornette. Jim Cornette: And their opponents, are from every girl’s dream, and every man’s nightmare. The greatest tag team in the history of wrestling. The World Tag Team Champions, “Beautiful” Bobby and “Sweet” Stan, The Midnight Express!  vs  Jim Cordaris calls for the bell, and we’re underway. Eaton and Guerrera start off for their teams. The luchadores surprise the MX with their speed and agility. After several quick tags that keep Eaton and Lane off balance, the Midnights start using their superior teamwork to gain the advantage at the 8 minute mark. Lane starts working LaParka over with his martial arts skills. Tag to Eaton, who climbs to the top rope while Lane body slams the colorful luchadore. Flying elbow, but it only gets 2 before Guerrera breaks up the pin. More double-team goodness by Eaton and Lane and LaParka appears to be out of it. He manages to get an inziguri on Lane. Both men struggle to get to their partners. Guerrera gets the tag, just as Lane tags in Eaton. Guerrera goes crazy, nailing dropkicks, leg lariats, and flying headscissors on both of his opponents. He dropkicks Cornette off of the ring apron, but gets blasted with a savate kick from Lane. Cordaris is trying to get LaParka back into his corner as the MX connect with the Rocket Launcher. At 15:46, the ref turns around in time to count the 3, as the Midnight Express get an important win before their title defense this Sunday! Gary Hart comes out to the announce area and grabs a mic. Hart: Looks like your boys had a lot of trouble with those young Mexican jumping beans, Cornette! My contingent of Hase and Sasake are gonna destroy the Midnight Express and take those World Tag Team titles right off their waists. See you this Sunday, Jimmy. Commercial Break We come back and are in the interview area with Jim Ross. Ross: It’s time to hear from the competitors in this Sunday’s main event. First, let me bring out former world champion, Sting! Ross: Sting, you’ve got perhaps the biggest match of your career on Sunday against one of the most dangerous men in the world. What are your thoughts heading into Path to Glory? Sting: Well, JR, I just wanna say thanks to all the fans that have been supporting me all these years. I wouldn’t have been able to beat Dr. Death without all my little Stingers out there. Now, Jake Roberts, you and I are not strangers. We’ve danced this little dance before. This Sunday, you won’t be able to hide in a corner and pick your spots. I’ll be in your face all night long! And when the smoke cle------  Jake Roberts, coming out to the interview area: You’re certainly putting up a brave front, Stinger. But you and I both know that deep down, you’re terrified of getting in the ring with me, one-on-one. You hide behind your painted face, and colorful outfits, but I see right through you, big man. This Sunday, after I beat you with the DDT, and have that championship belt hoisted high in the air, you’ll be nothing but snake food. *leaves the interview area after flashing an evil smile* Ross: Stinger, any words before we------------ *Sting, with a smoldering look in his eyes heads to the back* It appears that the Snake has given Sting a lot to think about for this Sunday. When we come back, it’ll be time for this week’s main event. Don’t go away, fans. Commercials Capetta: Wrestling fans, it is time for the main event of the evening. This match is scheduled for one fall, and is a non-title match. Introducing first, hailing from Badstreet, Atlanta, Georgia, weighing 300 lbs, Terry “Bamm Bamm” Gooooooorrrrrdyyyyyyyyy!!! And his opponent is from Tocula, Mexico, and weighs 239 lbs. He is the UWF World Television Champion, Titoooooooooooo Saaaaannttaaaaaaanaaaaaaaa!  vs Referee Billy Silverman checks both men and starts the match. Jim Ross and Bob Caudle run down the card for Path to Glory: Harlem Heat vs The Lightning Express Billy Kidman vs Juventud Guerrera UWF World TV Title Match: Tito Santana (c) vs Larry Zbyszko Terry “Bamm Bamm” Gordy vs The Great Muta UWF World Tag Title Match: The Midnight Express (c) vs Hiroshi Hase & Kensuke Sasake This match, just coming in from the President’s office: Stan “The Lariat” Hansen vs “Hacksaw” Butch Reed UWF World Heavyweight Title Match: Sting vs Jake “The Snake” Roberts Caudle: The Omni will be rocking Sunday night! Gordy has gotten off to a quick start, rocking Santana early with stiff right hands and an elbow drop across the throat. Santana unloads with right hands of his own and tries to get a little breathing, but Bamm Bamm won’t give him that space, cornering the champion. Santana ducks under a big haymaker, and dropkicks the larger man out to the floor. He follows Gordy outside the ring and runs into a knee to the guy. Gordy slings him into the security barrier. Elbow to the back of the neck, and then he lifts Santana up and drops him throat first onto the railing. Caudle: Tito’s gonna be in rough shape for his title defense. Ross: I’ve always known Santana to be very resilient, but “Bamm Bamm” is going to test that here. Back into the ring, Gordy clamps on with a front face lock, trying to squeeze the breath out of the champ. Tito has a lot of fan support, and they cheer him on. Santana seems to be feeding on those cheers, fighting to his feet, eventually elbowing out of the hold. He scoops up the big guy, and slams him into the mat. He gets a 2 count. Hiptoss, then an armdrag. Gordy swings wildly, but Santana ducks under, and delivers an atomic drop. Vertical suplex gets another 2 count for Santana. Tito bounces off the ropes and charges, but eats a clothesline from Gordy. Stomps from Bamm Bamm, and Santana is looking dazed. Gordy seems to be getting ready for something. Ross: He’s giving the signal for the Oriental Spike! He drives his thumb below the Adam’s Apple of Santana and locks in his left arm around the throat. Santana’s strength seems to be leaving him, along with his consciousness. Tito drops to one knee while the Memphis crowd is cheering like crazy for him to get back up. Santana reaches up and grabs two handfuls of hair, managing to get back to both feet before crashing down on his behind. Gordy’s jaw collides with the top of Tito’s head at the 12:32 mark. Both men are down and Silverman is counting both men out. Santana and Gordy both get up at 8 and start slugging it out. Tito is fired up, but Gordy is looking like a juggernaut, not backing down an inch. Bamm Bamm knocks Tito to the floor and goes out after him. Gordy whips Tito into the ring steps and looks to go back on the attack, when he gets knocked down from behind. Gordy hits the floor, revealing The Great Muta standing behind him. Silverman calls for the bell, signaling a DQ win for Gordy as Muta delivers a backbreaker on the floor and stomps on Bamm Bamm. Santana, back up, hits Muta with a forearm shiver across the back, and connects with right hands. Muta takes a step back, and then delivers a uppercut thrust with his fingers, right to the throat of Tito, before whipping Santana into the railing. He turns back to Gordy, but the big guy is up and they’re going toe-to-toe! Ross: We’re outta time fans! Please join us this Sunday on PPV, and tune in next week to Collision. OH MY GAWD! There’re coming this way, Bob! |

UWF Path to Glory Airing live on Pay Per View from The Omni Atlanta, GA 12/19/93 Video recapping the happenings of last few weeks of Thursday Night Collision shown. Heavy spotlight on the Jake Roberts – Sting title match and Muta’s attacks on both Sting and Terry Gordy. Clips of Gary Hart challenging the Midnight Express to defend against his team. Jim Ross: Wrestling fans, we are LIVE from the world-famous Omni in Atlanta, Georgia! This is Path to Glory, and tonight, we will crown a new UWF World Heavyweight Champion! Sting vs Jake “The Snake” Roberts is the main event for all the marbles, but it’s certainly not the only match on the show. The tag titles and the TV championship will also be on the line, Stan Hansen will take on Butch Reed, Terry Gordy will try to solve the mystery of the Great Muta, and more. On a more serious note, during the show ending brawl on this past Thursday night’s Collision between Gordy and Muta, Bob Caudle suffered a minor ankle injury and will not be able to call the matches with me tonight. He should be back action this coming Thursday, but filling in tonight is someone who is no stranger to the wrestling world. [url=http:// Classic Slick Jive Soul Bro Theme] Classic Slick Jive Soul Bro Theme Slick: That’s right, baby, the Slickster is in da house! I gotta tell ya, JR, I’ve been around for some big Pay Per View events, but the atmosphere in the Omni tonight is electric. I sorta feel sorry for Bob Caudle for missing this once-in-a-lifetime event. I’m ready for some action, jack! Ross: It is indeed time for our opening match. Take it away, Gary. Gary Michael Capetta: This is the opening match of the evening. It is set for one fall. Introducing first, from Mexico City, Mexico, weighing 170 lbs, Juventuuuuud Guerreeeeeraaaaaa! Capetta: And his opponent. He hails from Allentown, PA and weighs 195 lbs. Please welcome, Billyyyyyyyyy Kiiiiiiidmannnn!!  Ross: This ought to be a fast-paced encounter, Slick. Slick: I personally haven’t seen either of these competitors, but I’ve heard that they do some of them jaw-dropping, high-flying, death- defying moves that highlight reels are made of. Billy Silverman gets the match started and Kidman charges fast. Juvi ducks under a clothesline, leapfrogs Kidman on the rebound, and delivers a hurrancarana, sending Kidman out to the floor. Guerrera builds up steam and performs a suicide dive, driving Kidman into the security railing! Slick: These guys are like a blur, they’re moving so fast! Back in, Kidman lands a couple of right hands and a body slam. Standing leg drop gets two. Kidman locks in a chinlock, but Juvi quickly counters into a hammerlock, but that gets reversed by Kidman into his own hammerlock. Kidman nails Guerrera in the back of the head with an elbow, then goes for a back suplex, but Juvi flips out, pushing Kidman up against the rope and charges. Kidman ducks down and backdrops Guerrera out of the ring. As Juvi’s getting up, Kidman slingshots off the rope with a somersault dive. Both men beat the 10-count back into the ring, and Kidman starts to work over the luchadore with submission holds, but Juvi won’t give up, eventually slipping out of a surfboard. Kidman goes for a tilt-a-whirl slam, but Juvi locks in a headscissors and drives Kidman’s head into the mat for 2. Both men are up and start to brawl, which favors the larger Kidman. He scoops up Guerrera for another slam, but gets rolled up for two. Kidman is up quickly, landing a knee to the gut. He picks him up for a powerbomb, but Juvi reverses and faceplants Kidman. He drags him into a corner, climbs to the top rope and connects with a spectacular 450° splash! 1 . . . 2 . . . 3! Juvi wins the high energy opening match. Ross: What a great way to start off the night! Slick: I’m very impressed by both of those fine athletes. Ross: It looks like we’re being joined by Gary Hart, fans. Sorry about that. Gary Hart: Sorry? What the hell’s that supposed to mean, Ross? Don’t force me to teach you a lesson. How are you doing, Slick? Slick: ----- Hart: I don’t really care. Tonight’s gonna be a big night for me. Later on tonight, Hase & Sasake will capture the world tag team titles from the Pretty Boy Express. Also, my top client, The Great Muta, will absolutely decimate Bamm Bamm Gordy. After that, there will be no excuses. Bill Watts will be forced to give Muta a world title shot, and I’ll have all the gold in my camp. I may even bring in someone to go after the TV title. You just never know. I’m looking to take over the whole wrestling world. I’ll see you fellas later, it’s time to finish getting my men ready. Ross: And with that, it’s time for our next match. Capetta introduces the participants in the next bout, Tim Horner & Brad Armstrong, The Lightning Express, and Harlem Heat with their manager, Sensational Sherri.  vs Slick: Mmmm . . . Sherri is looking extra sensational tonight, Jim. Ross: Referee Randy “Pee Wee” Anderson gets us started. This should be interesting. Horner and Armstrong have a significant experience edge, but Sherri should be able to nullify that edge somewhat. Harlem Heat with a big-time size and strength advantage which Stevie is using against Tim Horner now. What are your thoughts on these fine teams? Slick: Ross: It appears Slick is a little lovestruck by the Sensational one. Slick: Whu . . . Love? Naw, Jim, I’m just studying her, um, managerial technique. Nice double-clothesline by the Heat. She’s very intense, don’t you think? Ross: Booker T with a flapjack on Horner. Are you going to concentrate on the match? Slick: Huh? Ross: Horner makes the tag to Armstrong! Right hands! Dropkick to Stevie, hiptoss to Booker. Slick: Look at how she slams the mat as she tries to fire her men up. Ross: He ducks down for a backdrop, but Booker axe kicks him. Armstrong is out. Anderson makes the 3-count. Harlem Heat with a big victory. They were very impressive tonight. Slick: Very impressive . . . Ross: You do realize the match is over. Slick: Yeah . . . Wait, what are you trying to say, Ross?!? Ross: Nothing at all. Just pointing out that Harlem Heat just dominated a quality veteran team. Slick: They’ve got a great manager. They’re going places. I think it’s time for our next match. Who’s up next, Capetta. Capetta: The following match is scheduled for one fall. It is for the UWF World Television Championship! Introducing the challenger, from Pittsburg, PA, weighing 235 lbs, “The Living Legend” Larry Zbyszkooooooooooooo! And his opponent is Tocula, Mexico, and weighs 239lbs. He is the UWF World Television Champion, Titooooooo Santannnnaaaaaaaaa!  vs Jim Cordaris calls for the bell, and Tito starts off quickly, getting a headlock off of the lockup. Zbyszko pushes Tito into the ropes, and then sends him to the opposite side of the ring. Tito shoulderblocks him down and Larry Z rolls out to the floor. Tito won’t allow him to use that stalling tactic, heading out and connecting with a right hand that sends Zbyszko back into the ring. Ross: Oh no . . . Jim Cornette *fumbling with headset*: So I heard Gary Hart out here running his mouth earlier. He really tries to come off as a scary individual, but the only thing scary about him is his set of teeth. And his girlfriend. He tries to insult Bobby and Stan by calling them pretty boys. Yes, they are very good looking men, and they certainly are prettier than any sea donkey Hart’s been with. Ross: There’s a ma--- Cornette: Shut it, Ross, I’m talking here. Now Gary Hart, you are without a doubt, one of the best managers in the business, but I’m the greatest. Wherever we go, my men always have gold around their waists, bank accounts full of money, and long lines of fine women waiting for Bobby and Stan to show them a good time every night of the week. Your guys are a big deal in Japan, and may indeed be a really good team, but the Midnight Express is the BEST. Always remember that, Hart. You too, Ross. Good to see you again, Slick. Slick: Man, that guy loves to talk. Ross: I think he was born with a mic in his hands. Santana’s getting the crowd behind him as he attempts to escape this sleeper hold. Santana manages to move enough to get behind Zbyszko and hits a back suplex. They get back up, Tito blocks a right hand and connects with his own. Dropkick to the Living Legend, sending him down to the mat. Tito’s fired up. Vertical suplex gets two for Santana. Larry with a thumb to the eye, and then he Irish Whips Tito into the ropes. Santana ducks under a clothesline and he hits his flying forearm right across Zbyszko’s face and gets the 3 count! Tito defends his TV Title. Ross: That was a great defense by Tito Santana. Would have been more enjoyable with Cornette’s interruption. Well, up next is a match featuring a man you used to manage. Slick: Butch’s match is next? I haven’t seen him in a few years. Glad to see he’s doing alright for himself. Ross: He didn’t seem to have much success under your guidance ---- Slick: Don’t make me slap you, Jim. I brought him to a whole new level of exposure----- Ross: But not much in the way of championships. He was North American champ in Mid-South before he met you, and a WCW World Tag Team Champion and one half of one of the greatest teams ever after he cut ties with you. Slick: And nobody was watching him during those times, either. Why are you trying to get under my skin, Ross? I’m a peaceful man, but my patience will only go so far. Ross: Well, then. Let’s get back to action. Take it away, Gary. Capetta introduces “Hacksaw” Butch Reed. Reed comes out, sporting bleached blonde hair and hugs Slick.  Reed: This is just for one night, baby. Good to see ya again, Slickster! Slick: See that, Ross? He knows what I did for his career, and appreciates it. Ross: I stand corrected. Capetta then gives the introduction for Stan “The Lariat” Hansen. Hansen comes out, swinging his rope out into the crowd. One fan gets a little too bold from his liquid courage and rushes Hansen, only to eat a right hand. Hansen stomps on him a few times before making way back to the ring. Ross: This is not going to be a technical masterpiece. Billy Silverman cautiously checks both men and calls for the bell. Hansen and Reed start slugging it out. Reed has the quicker hands, landing several jabs before connecting with a big right hand that sends The Lariat through the ropes. Reed flexes, kissing his biceps. “I’m still all Natural, baby!” Hansen ascends the ring steps slowly and re-enters the ring. They lock up, and Hansen grasps the left wrist of Reed, twisting it. Reed goes to one knee and strikes with a right hand to the gut of Hansen. Hansen lets go of the wrist, and kicks Reed in the face. Hansen picks him up, only to bodyslam Reed back to the canvas. Three elbow drops in succession only get two. Slick: C’mon, Butch! Reed with an eye rake when he gets to his feet. Suplex to Hansen, and Reed stomps away. Reed with a standing headlock, but Hansen pushes him into a corner. He doesn’t give a clean break, driving a shoulder into Reed’s ribcage. Forearm smash to the back of the neck, sending Reed down to the mat. He throws Reed out to the floor, and goes on the attack. Forearm shot across the shoulders, but Reed retaliates with a big right hand. Hansen is staggered, and is then thrown into the railing. Reed slams Hansen’s face into the ring steps. Elbow to Reed’s gut, and they both head back into the ring. Ross: What a slobberknocker! Slick: Whu . . . Both men start trading right hands again, then Hansen goes to whip Reed into the ropes, but Reed reverses. He catches Hansen on the rebound and presses him over his head. HUGE slam to the middle of ring. Reed goes out to the apron and climbs to the top rope. Hansen begins to stir and stumble to his feet. Reed flies, looking for the shoulderblock, but Hansen winds up and delivers the lariat to the face of Reed. 1 . . . 2 . . . 3! Stan Hansen gets the hard-fought win. Slick: Aw, man. Butch almost had it. Ross: That was a very brutal match. Reed gave a great effort there, but The Lariat was just a little better tonight. Well it’s about time for our World Tag Team Title match. Let’s go back to the ring. |

Sorry for the lateness. Between burnout from the PPV and X-Mas, I haven't been in the mood to write. Had I done my initial outline past the PPV I might have had a show out on time. UWF Thursday Night Collision Airing live from The Hollywood Sportatorium Miami, FL 12/23/93 Video recapping Path to Glory, including the TV and Tag title matches. Heavy emphasis on wins by Stan Hansen, Great Muta, and Sting’s victory over Jake Roberts for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship. Bill Watts, President of the UWF, is in the center of the ring. Miami, Florida!!! Welcome to Thursday Night Collision! As you saw on Sunday night during Path to Glory, we put on one helluva show! With that comes questions. Questions about the future for our champions, especially our new World Champion, Sting. First off, I want to congratulate Sting on his impressive victory against Jake Roberts. The match was back and forth and it looked like The Snake would win on a couple of occasions, but the Stinger pulled through. Now, all the wrestlers in the back, and all of you fans are wondering who will be Sting’s first challenger. The way I see it, based on what’s happened the last few weeks, there are five guys deserving of a shot: Jake “The Snake” Roberts, Stan “The Lariat” Hansen, TV Champion Tito Santana, The Great Muta, and “Dr. Death” Steve Williams. Next week at the Orlando Arena, I will randomly select four of those guys to meet up in a tag-team match. 2 weeks after that in Chicago Stadium, the man whose name wasn’t picked will face the winners of the tag match. The first man of the three to gain a pinfall or submission will face Sting for the World Title on February 3 at the America West Arena in Phoenix, AZ! That’s right fans, a World Title match on free TV! Jim Ross: What an announcement by President Bill Watts! Bob Caudle: Those are some pretty tough guys in next week’s main event. And a World Title match right here on Collision in a few weeks! Ross: It’s good to have you back on commentary, Bob. Caudle: Sounded like you had your hands full with Slick on Sunday night, JR. Ross: Indeed I did. Let’s get the action started, Gary. Gary Michael Capetta is out introducing the competitors of our first match, Al Perez vs Super Crazy.  vs  Referee Pee Wee Anderson calls for the bell, and Super Crazy goes right after Perez, but the Latin Heartthrob delivers an elbow to the top of Crazy’s head to stop a single-leg takedown attempt. Perez controls for a few minutes with a headlock, and it’s time for a commercial break. Commercials Ross: We’re back to action, fans. Super Crazy just sent Perez out to the floor and has climbed to the top rope. He’s about to --- He just leaped onto Perez all the way on the concrete floor!!! Caudle: We’ve got company, Jim. Gary Hart *grabbing a headset*: Another travesty has been perpetrated by Cowboy Bill Watts. How dare he force the best wrestler in the world today, The Great Muta, to compete in some sort of convoluted tag team match in order to wrestle in a 3-man match to get a title shot? Muta dominated Terry Gordy on Sunday night, and should be the clear #1 contender. Ross: Well, he did win the match, but I wouldn’t say he domin----- Hart: Exactly, Ross. Muta beat Gordy, one of the toughest men in the entire world of athletic competition. Now, I’m bringing this to the people, since Watts is an entirely unreasonable man who has a vendetta against me and my men. Why, I don’t know. I always conduct myself with the utmost of character and respect for the business, unlike Jim Cornette. Caudle: You are aware that we’re trying to call a ma------ Hart: I don’t care what’s going on here, Caudle. Neither of these men are my clients, nor do they have any titles. That means they are not as important as me and the issues surrounding my men. *Super Crazy pins Perez after a Crazy Bomb.* Hart: And if President Watts continues to heap injustice on us, I’ll use my considerable influence in the wrestling world to make sure he’s not President of the UWF for long. *takes off headset and leaves* Ross: Not sure if he can actually back up that threat, Bob, but he is capable of quite a bit. Caudle: Let’s take you to the interview area, with Slick. Slick: Ladies and gentlemen, it is an honor for me to be the first person to interview the new World Heavyweight Champion, Sting!  Slick: Congratulations on the title win, Stinger. Sting: *screams to the fans* Thank you very much, Slick. Jake Roberts is a very tough man, and it took everything I have to beat him. Slick: No doubt, it was a great match, and earlier tonight, Bill Watts gave his announcement as to your next #1 contender. How do you feel about the matches that are to take place in the next few weeks? Sting: I think it’s a very------ Stan Hansen *grabbing Slick’s mic*: Who cares what you think? Alls I care about is getting a shot at that gold belt! If I’m chosen for the tag match, I’m gonna run through the other team all by myself and the same thing will happen in that 3-man match. That World Title is coming home to Texas! See ya in Phoenix, champ. Slick: Sorry for that interruption, Sting. Sting: No problem, Slickster. It’s getting crazy here in the UWF! This is what it’s all about. The best going after the best. Slick: You said it. It’s time to go to a break. When we come back, Dr. Death will be in the main event! Commercials Capetta: Wrestling fans, this is the main event of the evening! This bout is scheduled for one fall. The referee for this match is Jimmy Cordaris. Introducing first, on his way to the ring. He hails from Harlem, NY and weighs 250lbs. Accompanied to the ring by Sensational Sherri, Bookeeeeeerrr T!   And his opponent, from Norman, OK, weighing 285 lbs, “Dr. Death” Steeeeeve Williammmmmmmsss! ACW Dr. Death STEVE WILLIAMS Entrance VideoDr. Death is out to a thunderous ovation! Referee calls for the bell and they lockup to start, with Williams pushing Booker into a corner. He gives a clean break, but Booker counters with a cheap shot that stuns Williams. Cordaris warns Booker about his actions. They lock up again, with Williams forcing the action back into a corner again. No clean break from Doc here. With right hands to the face and knees to the gut, Williams hurts Booker early, sending him out to the floor. Ross: We’ve got to take a short break fans. Don’t touch that dial! Commercials Caudle: Booker T took advantage during the break with a thumb to the eye. He’s very young, Jim, but Booker is a very impressive athlete. Ross: He’s a solid 250 lbs, with a great deal of quickness. He also has very dangerous feet, utilizing several kicks in his repertoire. Flapjack to the Doctor. It gets a 2-count. Caudle: What’s Slick coming out here for? Slick is out and talking to Sherri. Booker gets distracted by him, and gets punched in the gut as a result. Williams lands a few suplexes and a bodyslam. He sends Booker into the corner and charges, only to eat a Booker T boot to the face. From the 2nd rope, Booker connects with a double-axehandle to the neck of Williams. Headscissors by Booker to keep Doc on the mat. Caudle: What in the world? Ross: Slick appears to be showing off his threads to Sherri. He was quite smitten with her at the PPV. The replay will be available for the next couple of weekends, fans. Booker is yelling at Slick, who is paying absolutely no attention to him. Caudle: He’s focused on Sensational Sherri, and that’s keeping her from giving Booker advice. Cordaris checks the arm of Williams, but Doc keeps the arm up on 3 as the fans cheer for him. He powers out of the scissors, and drops an elbow into Booker’s gut. Press slam in the center of the ring gets 2. Irish Whip and Doc goes for a back body drop, but gets kicked in the face. Booker follows with a clothesline. Caudle: Slick is on the apron dancing for Sherri! Booker goes for the Irish Whip, but Williams reverses, sending Booker crashing into Slick. Booker yells out to Sherri, and when he turns around he takes a big football tackle by Williams. Dr. Bomb gets the 3-count for Dr. Death. Ross: Dr. Death with a hard-fought victory! Great match that Booker might’ve won had his own manager not been distracted. Caudle: Booker was very impressive tonight. He’s really going to go places as he gets more experience. Doc earned the win tonight, and he may have to contend in next week’s main event. Ross: We’ll see who the Cowboy selects for that match next week, we gotta go fans. See you next Thursday! |

UWF Thursday Night Collision Airing live from Orlando Arena Orlando, FL 12/30/93 Video recapping Bill Watts’ announcement in Miami last week. Sting having his interview interrupted by Hansen and Dr. Death’s big win over Booker T get spotlighted. Bill Watts, President of the UWF, is in the center of the ring. Orlando, Florida!!! This is Thursday Night Collision! Last week I told you all that I’d be randomly selecting names for a tag match tonight. There were 5 men that I named worthy of a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship held by Sting. Just so there are no allegations (Gary Hart) of bias on my part, I’ll have a little assistance in selecting the participants in tonight’s tag team main event. I have 5 slips of paper in my hand. Each one has a different name on it. Jim Ross, I understand you have a cowboy hat with you. Could you bring it into the ring, please? *Ross enters ring with his hat* JR, please let the cameraman get a shot of the inside of it so the entire world can see that it is empty. Now, I’m gonna fold each slip in half and place them in the hat. Jim, please shake up the hat and I’ll start pulling names. *Pulls out the first slip* Watts: Here is the first participant. Jim, please read the name to everyone. Ross: “Dr. Death” Steve Williams! Watts: Let me reach in the hat again to see who his partner is. Here you go. Ross: Tito Santana! Watts: And their opponents. Mr. Ross. Ross: Stan “The Lariat” Hansen! Watts: And his partner tonight. Here’s the fourth slip. Ross: The Great Muta! Watts: *pulling the final slip and showing it to the camera* And that means that Jake Roberts gets the “bye” and goes on to Chicago in 2 weeks to meet the winners of tonight’s big match. That match will be every man for himself, the first person to score a pinfall or submission will face Sting for the title in Phoenix on Feb 3. Now, let’s go to the interview area with Slick! Slick: That’s right, it’s the Slickster live and in living color, baby. My guest at the moment is one of the greatest managers in the history of professional wrestling. One of the most gorgeous women in the history of humanity. The talented, beautiful, sexy, Sensational Sherri! [img src="http:// i454.photobucket.com/albums/qq269/bigraj337/UWF%20Roster%20Pics/sherri_24931.jpg"] Sherri: Thank for that wonderfully flattering, and true, introduction. Now, let’s get this out of the way. I know that you are attracted to me. I might be kinda interested in you, too. But, you cannot become a distraction in the business affairs of me or the Harlem Heat. Slick: C’mon baby, you telling me those grown men can’t handle things on their own? I’m trying to get your attention, and live TV in front of millions seems to be the best way to------ Booker T: Now listen up, sucka! The lady said to keep that stuff out of the way of our business. Sherri is the person that’s gonna take us to the top of the wrestling world, and no jive-talking throwback in a cheap suit is gonna stop that, ya dig? Slick: Cheap?!? Now look here, jack, the Slickster don’t wear no ------- Stevie Ray: *rips the left sleeve off of Slick’s suit* Looks pretty cheap to me, bruh. Like my brother was saying, we’re not gonna have you getting in between the Heat and our manager, so if you continue to pursue her during OUR time, you’re gonna have a very big problem. *Butch Reed storms the interview set* Reed: Wait just a minute here. You really trying to say you’d harm this man. He’s a broadcast journalist, not an athlete. Stevie: That’s exactly what we’re saying, fruit booty! Now, you wanna come out here and act like Slick’s big brother and be all protective, why don’t you get yourself a partner and face us next week. Booker: Now can you dig that, sucka? Reed: Oh yeah. I can dig it. Commercials Jim Ross: Well, we’ve already had an explosive start to the evening, Bob. Bob Caudle: Our main event is in place, and now there’s a huge issue brewing between Slick and the Harlem Heat. “Hacksaw” Butch Reed came to the aid of his former manager, and will face the Heat next week in a tag match. Ross: I wonder who his partner is going to be. We can worry about that next week, it’s time for our first match of the evening. Take it away Gary! Gary Micheal Capetta introduces the participants. vs Billy Silverman calls for the bell, and we’re underway. Kanyon looks to lock up, but Gordy unloads with a HUGE right hand that drops the youngster. Bamm Bamm drops an elbow, but Kanyon moves and stomps on Gordy, trying to keep him down. Ross: Not again. Gary Hart: *putting on headset* I don’t believe it. A “so-called” random process ends up with my man, The Great Muta, teaming up with the craziest man in wrestling! This is an outrage! Muta doesn’t deserve to be treated like this, Ross. You and Watts have some explaining to do on this. Ross: The selection process was done in full view of the---------- Hart: So are magic tricks, Ross, and you and Watts pulled off a good one earlier. Watts, you’re skating on thin ice, buddy. And you, JR---- Ross: Mr. Hart, you don’t think Stan Hansen remembers Muta spraying him with mist during the battle royal, do you? Hart: . . . . *leaves broadcast area* Caudle: Well that certainly got him quiet. Ross: Sorry for that interruption, fans. Looks like, yes, Gordy is setting up for the Oriental Spike! He drives it into the neck of Kanyon. Caudle: Silverman is checking it, making sure it’s not a choke hold. Ross: That’s it. He’s out! Gordy picks up a big win. Caudle: We’ve got to take a break, when we come back it’ll be time for the main event! Commercials Capetta: Wrestling fans, it is time for the main event of the evening. It is scheduled for one fall.

Dr. Death shoulderblocks Hansen out of the ring, and follows him out. Muta makes a move towards Williams, but Gary Hart keeps him on the ring apron in his corner. Hansen rolls back in the ring, and stomps Williams upon his re-entry. He forces Doc into the corner and slaps the shoulder of Muta very hard to tag him in. Muta stares at him. “Get in there and kick his ass!” Caudle: Muta comes in with a kick to the head of Williams. Now he’s choking him. Ross: We’ve got to take our final commercial break. We’ll be right back! Commercials We’re back, with Hansen delivering a snap suplex to Santana. Muta gets the tag and quickly climbs to the top rope. As Santana gets to his feet, Muta leaps and connects with a flying chop to the neck of Tito. Knive edge to the chest puts Santana back on the mat. Muta follows with a powerful elbow drop. He slaps Hansen across the chest to tag him in. Hansen cocks back his right hand, but Muta reaches for his own throat. Hansen enters the ring and picks up Santana. Tito rolls him up for two. Hansen goes back to the attack. Hansen and Muta start working a bit better as a team over the next 10 minutes, delivering lots of punishment to Tito, and barely manage to keep him from tagging out on a few occasions. Ross: Santana’s still got some fight, but desperately needs to tag Dr. Death. Caudle: Muta lands that handspring elbow in the corner! He and The Lariat have put their differences aside. Ross: They are professionals, Bob. And this is to stay in the running for a title shot. They can always fight later. Hansen sends Tito into the ropes, looking for the Lariat, but Santana flies and hits the flying forearm! He’s too weak to make the cover. Hansen stops him from moving to the corner, but Tito dropkicks him right in the face. He tags out to Williams. Doc comes in with a lot of fire, going into the 3-point stance and shoulder tackling Hansen and Muta. Body slams for both men, and Santana gets back into the fray, clotheslining Muta out to the floor. He follows him out and they slug it out. Another tackle by Williams and Hansen has a trickle of blood coming out of his mouth. Doc sets up with another 3-point stance, but Gary Hart grabs his foot. Williams stomps on the hand, but the distraction costs him. Hansen kills him with a Lariat as Muta sends Tito face-first into the steel ring post! Anderson makes the 3-count on Williams at the 24:46 mark and Capetta announces Hansen and Muta as the winners. Muta rolls under the ropes back into the ring. As Hansen turns around, he gets blasted in the face with green mist! Ross: Oh my gawd! He just misted the Lariat. Hansen is writhing in pain on the mat. This just in: Next week, live on Collision, the World Heavyweight Champion, Sting will in action! Caudle: I wonder if Hansen will be 100% in Chicago. If not, Muta and Jake “The Snake” are gonna make him a non-factor in their match. Ross: We’ll try to update you next week, fans. For now, we’re out of time. For Slick and Bob Caudle, I’m Jim Ross. Have a great night. |
