Ricky and Robert enter the picture.
RICKY: Last week, those Samoans and Ron Wright did everything illegal! There was no scientific wrestling, no sportsmanship, just a bunch of outside interference and powder thrown in my partner's eyes! This won't stand! At Winter Warfare, we're takin back what's rightfully ours!
ROBERT: That's right, brother! They are two big men, but Rock and Roll has moves they don't know how to deal with!

After the match, Mark Lowrance stands in the ring. We hear...
“Midnight Soldier” Brian Adams enters the ring. He is wearing a black T shirt with the words “MIDNIGHT ARMY” printed in red letters. He bounces off the ropes a few times, then comes over to Lowrance.

We cut back to the ring with Brian Adams and Mark Lowrance.
ADAMS: There it is, Mark!
LOWRANCE: I think we'll see many of those shirts in the arenas around the country very soon!
Hold up! Superstar Bill Dundee is in the ring!
DUNDEE: What kind of wrestling show are we having here? No matches, just this punk peddling T shirts! What next, mood rings and pet rocks? This is a crock of bull!
ADAMS: I know you don't understand this, Dundee! You and your bunch of freaks don't have any fans!
DUNDEE: We don't need'em!
ADAMS: You're gonna need all the help you can get! I'm gonna get my hands on that idiot Berzerker! My man, Johnny Ace is get payback on that moron Cactus Jack as soon as the doctor clears him! The House of Dundee is going down, baby!
DUNDEE: No way!
Nord the Berzerker and Cactus Jack hit the ring and attack Adams! Dundee joins in! Nord rips Adams' T shirt off and stomps it! Nord quickly turns his attention to beating on Adams! Cactus Jack shows his level of intelligence by dropping elbows onto the T shirt! Thankfully, Johnny Ace runs in with a steel chair and rescues his friend!

VTR:
The Nasty Boys are standing in what appears to be a junkyard.
KNOBBS: You are looking at the #1 tag team in the UWA today! But we are being discriminated against! They're having a match between the illiterate Super Samoans and those Tiger Beat rejects, the Rock and Roll Express for the World Tag Team Title belts!
SAGS: Them belts should belong to us!
KNOBBS: We got a message for whoever wins that match! We want a title shot! If you got the guts, give us our shot!
“Mad Dog” Buzz Sawyer vs. Jumbo Beretta: Sawyer lives up to his nickname as he takes Jumbo apart before pinning him after a vicious powerslam!
COMMERCIAL
Exotic Adrian Street (w/Miss Linda) vs. Rocky King: Street is facing a loser leaves UWA match at WINTER WARFARE with TV Champion Tom Prichard. Street gets a convincing win tonight as he puts King away with the cobra clutch. Mark Lowrance speaks with Street and Linda afterwards...
LOWRANCE: You have probably the most important match of your career coming up at the WINTER WARFARE pay per view....
STREET: Maybe I will, maybe I won't, Marcus...
LOWRANCE: What do you mean by that?
STREET: You were here last week. That scruff Tom Prichard was beaten within an inch of his life by Bill Dundee and Cactus Jack. I'm not convinced Prichard can even make it do Denver. I could possibly win by forfeit! I'd rather thrash Prichard, but if they just hand me my belt and tell Tommy to pack his bags and go back to that horrible place they call Texas!
LOWRANCE: Hey, watch it! And for your information, my fellow Texan, Tom Prichard, is set to defend the TV Title in our next match!
STREET: Did I strike a nerve, dear boy?

TV TITLE MATCH: Tom Prichard © vs. “Sensei” Steve Blackman: Prichard has his hands full with this rugged martial artist. After several near falls, Prichard pins Blackman after an inside cradle. The two men shake hands after the bout.
MARSHALL: Last week, you saw Ron Wright, manager of the Super Samoans, have some sort of a health issue after the tag team title was held up after a match between Wright's Super Samoans and the Rock and Roll Express. We sent mark Lowrance to check on Wright's condition.
VTR:
Mark Lowrance stands on the porch of a large farmhouse.
LOWRANCE: Mark Lowrance on assigment for UWA Fury. In rural Eastern Tennessee, at the home of Ron Wright. I've been asked to get an update on Mr. Wright's condition and, if possible, a few comments on the match for the held up title at WINTER WARFARE.
Lowrance knocks on the door. Ron Fuller answers.
LOWRANCE: I'm here to speak with Ron Wright, if possible...
FULLER: Dang press won't leave him alone! First Bill Apter, then George Napolitano, now you! Bunch of vultures! Come one in!
Next, we see Fuller and Lowrance entering a large room where Ron Wright is lying in a hospital bed. Kokina is holding a large plastic cup so Wright can drink from a straw. Afa is fanning his manager with a cardboard fan.
LOWRANCE: Ron Wright, Mark Lowrance here to check up on you...
WRIGHT: Well, sir, I have had a heart condition for quite some time. It ended my rasslin career some years ago. Last week, when I saw them incompetent referees trying to steal the belts from my beloved Samoans, it flared up again! I'm feelin a mite poorly, but there is some improvement. As you can see, my longtime dear friend, the Tennessee Stud, and my beloved Super Samoans are here ministering to my needs. With friends like these, a man can't go wrong!
LOWRANCE: Afa and Kokina will wrestle the Rock and Roll Express at WINTER WARFARE in Denver, broadcast live on pay per view. Will you be able to manage your team that night?
WRIGHT: I don't know...my heart is awful weak. I surely would love to be there and see my beloved Samoans dish out a South Pacific dog whuppin to that no good Morton and Gibson, but my condition is delicate and the air is awfully thin up there in the Rockies....
FULLER: Now, don't worry about a thing, old buddy! The Stud will charter a jet, I'll bring along my personal physician, and I'll even wheel you into McNicols Arena myself! This is a big night and the Stud will see to you being there!
WRIGHT: Thankee, Ronald, my beloved friend! This is a kind, generous, and deeply religious man right here! Rock and Roll, I guarantee my Super Samoans are bringing home the gold! Oh, lordy, I'm a feelin weak!
FULLER: (to the camera) Y'all git! Git yer microphone and yer camera outta his face! Can't you see that Ron Wright is not a well man?
LOWRANCE: On assignment in Hawkins County, Tennessee, this is Mark Lowrance...

Dangerous Dan Spivey vs. King Kahlua: The former Undisputed World Champion demolishes his opponent and gets the pin after a powerbomb. After the match, Mark Lowrance speaks to Spivey:
LOWRANCE: last week, here on UWA FURY, it took every wrestler and referee in the arena to seperate you, the Master of Pain, and World Champion Billy Jack Haynes. The Iron Man match at WINTER WARFARE should absolutely be a war!
SPIVEY: I don't just wanna regain my belt, I wanna destroy both of them! I came close last week! It took three dozen men to pry me off of those two geeks! Haynes, I put you in the hospital last year and I'll do it again this year! At Winter Warfare, somebody will get hurt and it won't be Dangeous Dan Spivey, I promise you that!
COMMERCIAL
Master of Pain(w/Ron Fuller) vs. Ricky Rice: Ricky Rice is a very capable and athletic wrestler. He is absolutely no match for his massive opponent. The Master puts him away after a tombstone pilediver.
LOWRANCE: Another impressive win. Last week, you went toe to toe with not only World Champion Billy Jack Haynes, but also Dangerous Dan Spivey. On February 19th, on pay per view, you will meet the three of them in an Iron Man match!
MASTER: I watched your match a few minutes ago, Danny! I saw something new! I saw fear in your eyes, boy! When Haynes comes out later, I'm sure it will be more of the same! (holds up right fist) Look on the tape on my right hand! There are two names written in permanent ink: BILLY JACK AND DAN SPIVEY! For both of you, I got a heart punch with your name on it!
Music begins to play...
Billy Jack Haynes ias coming toward the ring for our next match! Now, the fear is in Ron Fuller's eyes!
FULLER: C'mon, hoss cat, it's time to git!
Fuller bails out and the Master of Pain grudgingly follows! Billy Jack enters the ring and glares at the heels as they leave! The Undisputed World Champion wrestles next!
COMMERCIAL
Billy Jack Haynes vs. Sheik Ali: This is a non-title match. The announce team puts Ali over as a very successful wrestler, claiming he has held several championships throughout Canada. Ali gives the champ a competitive match this week and has Billy in trouble a few times before Haynes applies the full nelson and finishes him!
LOWRANCE: I've given your WINTER WARFARE opponents a chance to speak. It's only fair to give you equal time!
HAYNES: I always like to do my talking in the squared circle, Mark! Spivey, I've already taken your best shot and Master of Pain, I'm not scared to take your best shot! In Denver, at the pay per view, the world is watching! I have a chance to prove to everybody that I am the true World Champion! To do that, I have to beat two of the baddest dudes on earth in the same match! I'm not gonna brag or make promises, except one! I promise to fight to the last beat of my heart!

VTR: Don Coss, Ron Fuller, Jimmy Golden, & the Grappler are seated in a blackened studio.
COSS: I'm here for a very specific purpose. This week, a videotape was sent to the UWA offices. Along with the tape was a letter with two requests: Show the video on UWA FURY and to have at least one representative of the Stud Stable on hand to view it. Three members of the Stable agreed to be here: the Tennessee Stud himself, Ron Fuller, Gentleman JimmY Golden, & the Grappler. Gentlemen, thank you for being here. Let's roll the tape...
After the music ends, we see Austin Idol standing in a weight room.
IDOL: You are looking at the chiseled features and the toned body of the Universal Heartthrob, Austin Idol! It is an honor and a privilege to be on the hottest TV show on the USA Network, UWA FURY! Let's cut the fat and get to the meat! Tennessee Stud! Remember me? I told you someday that I would find you! Now, I found you! I turned my TV on the USA network, hoping for a good movie and I see your ugly mug! I called my old workout buddy Billy Jack and said BJ, I called him BJ and he calls me AI, 'cause we're old pals! I said “BJ, can you get me into the UWA?” He told me to get on the next thing smokin! Fuller, I haven't forgotten how you stabbed my back! How you turned your back on me! I told you that you'd see me again and you will, Jackson! Sooner than you think! Everybody in the UWA, everybody on the USA Network will see why they call me the ladies pet (blows kiss at camera) but oh, the men's regret! (throws a punch at the camera)
Back in the studio, Fuller and Golden look like they've seen a ghost!
FULLER: J-J-J-James, cousin, we ain't seen him since Pensacola! I thought we finished him off!
GOLDEN: Hand up to God, cuz, I thought he was retired and living with some rich old lady in Miami Beach!
GRAPPLER: Guys, I don't know what happened in the past, but that is one bad dude we just saw on that screen and I've heard what he does to people he has a grudge against!
COSS: Can you please explain whta's going on?
FULLER: (standing up) It's Stud Stable business which means none of your business! We'll take care of this!
Fuller, Golden, and Grappler storm out of the studio leaving a confused Don Coss....
COSS: back to the ring, folks...
Iceman King Parsons & Dirty Dutch Mantel vs. “Tennessee Stud” Ron Fuller & Gentleman Jimmy Golden: Fuller seems distracted and keeps looking over his shoulder! The Stud Stable is on the defensive the entire match and Golden has to resort to cold cocking Mantel with a pair of brass knucks to get the pin on the Dutchman!
MARSHALL: Next week, we will see the UWA debut of a major star in professional wrestling! This man has held championships all over the globe! His name is “The Rock” Don Muraco! We will also be hearing from some other exciting talents on their way! 1988 will be a HUGE year in the UWA!!!
STASIAK: The doctor has cleared Johnny Ace to return to the ring for a match here on UWA Fury next week. If Ace is ok after that match, he'll be cleared for the American Title tournament at WINTER WARFARE, Be advised that Cactus Jack will also be here next week, the man who injured Johnny Ace in the first place!
COSS: Fans, after what happened to Midnight Soldier earlier, Brian Adams demanded that the Midnight Army have a showdown with the House of Dundee here next week. Brian Adams will team with Dutch Mantel & Iceman Parsons against Superstar Bill Dundee, Jos LeDuc, & Nord the Berzerker! Also in a preview of two huge matches at WINTER WARFARE, The Super Samoans will team with Exotic Adrian Street against Tom Prichard and the Rock & Roll Express!
MARSHALL: A can't miss, must see UWA FURY here next week!
Working on it now.
