Taped Thursday May 04 at the Civic Coliseum Ballroom in Knoxville TN
Shown in Syndication in the Tri-Cities, Knoxville area, eastern Kentucky, lower West Virginia, and Virginia
Interviews on this show:
- Promoter Ron Fuller kicked the show off by talking about the Tennessee Thunder tour coming week after next. He then gave the rundown of the towns:
Saturday May 20 in Knoxville TN at the Civic Coliseum
Sunday May 21 in Morristown TN at East High School
Monday May 22 in Mountain City TN at Heritage Hall
Tuesday May 23 in Johnson City TN at Freedom Hall
Wednesday May 24 in Kingsport TN at Civic Auditorium
- Ron Fuller drew this week's TV Title challenger, and it was Johnny Rich, which had Nelson Royal looking a little concerned.
- "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan complained about Paul Orndorff escaping by the skin of his teeth and losing by count out but keeping the title. He let it be know he wants Orndorff in a cage for the belt so that can't keep happening!
- Ron Fuller returned to say that Duggan will get his cage match, and it will happen on the 20th in Knoxville as part of the Tennessee Thunder tour!
- Black Bart gave a screaming interview about how him and the Deatons are gonna bring a lot of pain to Hickerson, Armstrong, and Rich.
- The Rock and Roll Express said that even with Ron Wright in a straight jacket, he still got involved. They heard Duggan out earlier asking for a cage match, and that's what they want with the Jive Tones!
- Ron Fuller came back one more time and said he agrees with Morton and Gibson, and they can have a cage match with the Jive Tones for the belts in Kingsport on the 24th.
- Ron Wright was livid at the cage match stipulation as his Jive Tones shouldn't have to keep wrestling the Rock and Roll Express. He also said that The Bullet was out here last week saying he would fight the Mongolian Stomper with no rules. Wright wants Fuller to make THAT match!
Matches on this show:
- Ole Anderson pinned Mark Fleming
- Tag Champs, The Jive Tones beat Mark Starr & Joey Maggs
- Sam Houston pinned Pat Rose
- Terry Snuka def. Rick Conners
- TV Champion Nelson Royal beat Johnny Rich by DQ after Rich accidentally threw Royal over the top rope. Afterwards, Rich was pleading his case with the referee when Black Bart and The Deatons hit the ring and began a 3-1 attack. Phil Hickerson and Scott Armstrong came to the rescue and the fight was on! It was pretty even until Nelson Royal joined in on the side of the Wild Bunch. This brought Sam Houston out and into the fight as well as the show was going off the air.
Working on it now.
