NWA World Champion TERRY FUNK cuts a promo in the locker room. Funk talks about what Jarrett did to him, and said that maybe Jarrett was right in his comments last week, saying that Funk had lost his edge, but says he’s got it back now, and Jarrett’s going to find out first-hand tomorrow night at Saturday Night Supercade!
VS. 
MATCH #1
NWA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP:
RICK & SCOTT STEINER (Champs) defeat HIGH VOLTAGE (Robbie Rage & Kenny Kaos). Rage and Kaos prove that they aren’t pushovers, and that they’re one of the few teams that can match up, power-wise, with the Steiners. The two teams throw scientific wrestling out the window, and just pummel each other. In the end, while Rick and Robbie Rage brawl in one corner of the ring, Scott hits Kenny Kaos with the Frankensteiner for the 1, 2, 3. Rage tried to break it up when he realized what had happened, but Rick stops him from doing so.
VS. 
MATCH #2:
KING KONG BUNDY beats ADAM PEARCE. The rookie Pearce puts up a good fight, and hits Bundy with everything he’s got, but in the end, Bundy hits the Atlantic City Avalanche for the pinfall.
After the match, Bundy takes the house mic from Gary Michael Cappetta, and cuts a promo on his participation in the Battle Royal tomorrow night, and guarantees a victory!
We go to STAN LANE in the SATURDAY NIGHT SUPERCADE Control Centre, brought to us by TOYS ‘R’ US!

VS. 
MATCH #3:
CHRIS CANDIDO (Champ) beats VIRGIL. Candido gets the pinfall after hitting the New Jersey Jam top-rope legdrop.
CRUISE and ROUGEAU say that it’s time for the debut of the BARBER SHOP and send us to Brutus Beefcake!
BRUTUS welcomes us to new and improved Barber Shop, and says that he’ll have the biggest names in the sport here to talk about whatever they feel like talking about, and maybe afterwards, they’ll stick around for a haircut.
BEEFCAKE then introduces his first guest, a man that led many wrestlers, in both the singles and tag team ranks, to Championship gold, and now he’s here in the NWA . . .
CAPTAIN LOU ALBANO!
BRUTUS welcomes the Captain to the Barber Shop, and says that from the looks of the Captain, this visit wasn’t a moment too soon! Albano says that there’s no way Beefcake is touching his hair!
ALBANO then talks about his success as a manager, and says that nobody has had as much success as he has, and says that his success is going to continue right here in the National Wrestling Alliance.
At that point, Albano asks the reigning NWA TV Champ CHRIS CANDIDO and JEFF JARRETT to come out to ringside!
ALBANO introduces all the fans to his “dream team”, the BLOND BOMBERS! He says that Candido already holds the World TV title, and tomorrow night, Jarrett will become the NWA World Champion! Next, he’ll team them up and they’ll beat the Steiners for the World Tag titles! Albano says it’s only a matter of time before they control ALL the gold in the National Wrestling Alliance!
CANDIDO says that the fans can forget about Dusty Rhodes, they can forget about Sting, they can forget about Lex Luger, and they can forget about Tully Blanchard . . . HE is the greatest NWA World Television Champion in history!
JARRETT brags about what he’s going to do to Terry Funk tomorrow night at Saturday Night Supercade, and says that the next time he’s here on NWA-TNA, he’ll be the World’s heavyweight Champion!
ALBANO says that he’s going to make these two men rich beyond their wildest dreams . . . and make himself a hefty commission in the process!
VS. 
MATCH #4:
THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR & THE ACADIAN GIANT defeat UNABOMB (w/ Harvey Whippleman) & THE BERZERKER. Chris Cruise informs us that the ring had to be reinforced for this one. These four behemoths all brawl in the ring to start, but referee Dave Hebner is able to get order restored, and forces Warrior and Berzerker to their respective corners. As the match progresses, Unabomb and Berzerker take control, keeping the nearly 7’ Acadian Giant isolated in their corner where they constantly double-team him.
Finally the Giant is able to battle back, and makes the tag to the Warrior, who comes in and cleans house. After clotheslining Unabomb over the top rope, the Warrior runs the ropes, hits the Berzerker with the diving shoulderblock, then hits the splash for the 1, 2, 3!
After the match, Unabomb comes back into the ring, and clobbers the Warrior from behind as he and the Giant are getting their hands raised. Unabomb pummels Warrior, but the Acadian Giant grabs a chair and chases him off!
VS. 
MATCH #5:
“DOUBLE J” JEFF JARRETT (w/ Capt. Lou Albano) fought “DR. DEATH” STEVE WILLIAMS to a NO CONTEST. Late in the match, Williams has things well in hand, until Albano gets up on the apron and distracts Williams. Williams grabs Albano by the collar, but wisely moves out of the way, just as Jarrett attempts a knee to the back, and Jarrett collides with Albano instead. This brings Chris Candido out, and after checking on Albano, Candido jumps into the ring.
Candido goes to attack Williams, but Dr. Death stuns him with a series of jabs. NWA World Champion Terry Funk then hits the ring, and brawls with Jarrett while Williams hits the Oklahoma Stampede on Chris Candido!
Referee Dave Hebner calls for the bell, and throws the match out.
After the decision is announced, the four men brawl around ringside, and eventually up onto the ramp and then back to the locker room.
An ad airs for the new edition of NWA magazine, on newstands now!
CRUISE and ROUGEAU wrap things up, and recap what we saw on tonight’s show. They hype next week’s show, as well as tomorrow night’s Saturday Night Supercade special, live right here on TSN, before signing off.
