When the program returns, the cards for Christmas Night and New Year’s Eve are plugged. The Continental and Showcase Junior Heavyweight Titles will be decided on the 25th in Huntsville at The Von Braun Civic Center, according to Platt. Stuart mentions that the Showcase TV Title and the Showcase Tag Team Titles will be won in Mobile at the Civic Center on New Year’s Eve.
*SHOWCASE TV TITLE: FIRST ROUND
Rip Rogers b. Steve Armstrong
Rogers uses the ropes to pin Armstrong in the corner. He races to the top of the ramp to proclaim he is “THE man among boys” here in Continental Wrestling Showcase
BREAK
Ron Fuller is out angry at the start of the next segment. He wants Tony Atlas in the worst way for costing him his first round match in the Continental Tournament last week. The Tennessee Stud says he wants to bust him up so bad he is challenging Atlas to an arm wrestling match, an Atlas specialty, right here and right now. The table is quickly set up and Atlas is out.
*ARM WRESTLING MATCH
Ron Fuller vs. Tony Atlas
Fuller puts up a fight but Atlas is close to pinning the arm when The Flame comes out. The masked man shouts disparaging comments toward Tony. That allows Fuller to pull the table up and slam Atlas with it. The bell sounds, as a bloody Atlas is put in the Fuller Leg Lock. Scott Casey is down with a 2 by 4 to clear the ring.
BREAK
*The Dream Machine w/Izzy Slapowitz b. Burrhead Jones
Slapowitz and Dream are ruthless against the Southeastern legend. A wicked powerslam puts Jones out and he is pinned. After the match, Machine ties Burrhead on the ropes. Slapowitz chants while DM goes around in circles. Stuart reiterates that all this is “too weird”.
BREAK
*Roy Lee welch b. Mike Boyette
During the match, Scott Armstrong comes out to the desk for an interview. He puts on the crown that Welch wore to the ring. Welch is taken away from the match, allowing Boyette to get in some impressive judo throws and two counts. Eventually, Welch gets refocused and pins Boyette after a running knee lift. Scott leaves, saying again he might just take to wearing this “butter commercial prop” permanently.
BREAK
*SHOWCASE TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT: FIRST ROUND
Virgil-San/Banzai w/Tojo Yamamoto b. Kevin Kelly/Nick Kiniski w/Sunshine by DQ
Yamamoto brings Sunshine another gift: a broom “for cleaning house”. Late in the match. Kelly slams Banzai (Phil Hickerson) and Virgil-San (Dirty Rhodes) with the broom, earning the DQ.

BREAK
*Steve Doll b. Kurt Von Hess

BREAK
*The Flame b. Mark Fleming
During the match, Scott Casey comes out and sits at ringside to “only observe”. While pummeling Fleming, Flame asks Casey to “put his money where his mouth is” and enter the ring. Casey remains quiet and leaves after Fleming submits to a flying hammerlock. Flame tells Stuart, in the ring, that Casey ”is next”.
BREAK
*Mike Davis/Tommy Lane b. Gary Young/Jimmy Backlund
Right after Davis pins Young with a top rope sunset flip, the lights in Boutwell Auditorium go out. When they come back on, Young and Backlund are covered in a red liquid. A scary laugh echoes throughout the arena. The Rock-N-Roll RPM’s are shocked and dumbfounded.
BREAK
*CONTINENTAL HEAVYWEIGHT TOURNAMENT: FIRST ROUND
Bob Armstrong vs. Randy Rose
Rose comes to the ring first. He is wearing a replica mask of The Wrestling Pro, the current CWS Commissioner. He rips off the mask after being introduced. He gets the house mike. Randy says that, years ago, he ripped off the real mask of The Wrestling Pro and destroyed his legend, Today, another legend goes down in Bob Armstrong.
It looks as if Rose is prophetic, as puts something in the mask and hits Armstrong with it on the floor. Weathers doesn’t see the blow and counts the pinfall on Bullet Bob. The Wrestling Pro comes out and orders Weathers to re-start the bout. Rose argues, allowing Armstrong to lock on a Japanese sleeper that puts Rose out. Wrestling Pro raises the hand of Bob on the floor. Rose is infuriated.
Eddy Raven implores the fans to come back to all the CWS action next week on CMT.
