VTR:
Adrian Street and Miss Linda are standing in a locker room.
STREET: That scruff Tom Prichard has asked those phony rock and rollers, the Rock and Roll Express to be his partners tonight. Normally, Linda and I don't associate with savages, but it's obvious that Prichard is trying to put me out before our match at WINTER WARFARE! Drastic times call for drastic measures so we called in the HEAVY ARTILLERY!
Afa and Koina enter the picture!!!
STREET: THE SUPER SAMOANS! They have already proved to the world that they can beat the Express just as I have proved that I can beat Tom Prichard time and time again! This will be a great night!
VTR: Tom Prichard is standing in front of am huge Texas flag.
PRICHARD: It's good to be home in the Lone Star State!Tonight, Adrian Street nad Miss Linda got a pair of big dudes to help them! Let me tell ya something, Street! In a six man tag, speed is what you need! That's why I called up the fastest guns in th West: Ricky and Robert, the Rock and Roll Express!
RICKY: That's right! Tonight will be previews of coming attractionsfor Winter Warfare! At the pay per view, Robert and myself plan to take back our World Tag Team Title! Then, Tommy is gonna run that sissy Street clean outta the UWA!
ROBERT: They're big and bad, but I promise you that they can be had! Tonight's the night and everything is gonna be alright!
RICKY: Right here on UWA FURY!!!

MARSHALL: Welcome to UWA FURY! Two big six man tag team matches here tonight in Fort Worth: You just heard from Tom Prichard and the Rock and Roll Express! They will take on the Super Samoans and Exotic Adrian Street! Also, it will be Brian Adams' Midnight Army against the House of Dundee in a six man tag! We will see sensational Johnny Ace return to action as well as the UWA debut of “The Rock” Don Muraco! A lot of exciting things here tonight! Let's go to the ring!
Cactus Jack (w/ Superstar Bill Dundee) vs. Gene Ligon: Jack wrestles like a wild animal and gets the pin after a double underhook DDT. Afterwards, at Dundee's insistence, he throws Ligon out of the ring and drops the big elbow on him as he is lying on the floor! Mark Lowrance reluctantly enters the ring...
CACTUS: BANG! BANG! Did you see that? Destruction and devastation! What the House of Dundee is all about, baby! Johnny Ace, I hear that you're gonna try a comeback here tonight! Don't you do it! You're not ready! I hurt you too bad! If you come back, I'll just hurt you even worse! Why don't people listen to good advice, Superstar? I don't get it!
DUNDEE: I guess he ain't got good sense, Cactus! Last week, I saw that stupid commercial Midnight Soldier was running! You wanna see class? Roll that tape, daddy!
VTR:
Bill Dundee is standing outside of a mansion where an antique Rolls Royce is parked. He is wearing a T shirt with a coat of arms on the front and the words HOUSE OF DUNDEE printed in gold.
DUNDEE: (voice over) The House of Dundee represents the best of professional wrestling. You wanna be somebody, buy our T shirt!
Two bikini clad women approach Dundee. One hands him a glass of champagne as the other kisses him. The woman with the glass rubs his shoulders.
We cut to Jos LeDuc. He is wearing the same shirt and chopping wood.
LEDUC: This shirt is durable like I am. Perfect for outdoor activities!
Cactus Jack and Nord the Berzerker walk down an city street, wearing the shirts.
CACTUS: If you want people to look at you with respect as you stroll down the streets of your hometown, order the House of Dundee T shirt! Right, Nord?
NORD: HUSS! HUSS!
CACTUS: BANG! BANG!
Two attractive young women cross the street to avoid Nord and Cactus!
DUNDEE: The ordering information is on your screen. The pice is a bargain and you know it!
Return to the ring!
DUNDEE: Tonight, Jos LeDuc and Nord the Berzerker, and me will put an end to this Midnight Army! I promise you that!
COMMERCIAL
Johnny Ace makes his way into the arena, high fiving fans as he goes!
Johnny Ace vs. Chris Colt: Ace is still wearing a brace on his ribs and Colt goes right after the injured area. It doesn't seem to bother Johnny much as he finishes Colt with a clothesline off the top rope. After the bell, Mark Lowrance enters the ring for an interview.
LOWRANCE: Johnny, I didn't see any lingering effects of that injury that Cactus Jack gave you...How do you feel?
ACE: I feel fantastic! Here's the deal: My doctor told me he'd clear me to wrestle tonight. If I was ok, he'd clear me for the American Title tournament on February 19th in Denver! I think I'm just a little bit more than ok! What's more, I'm asking UWA President Don Owen to give me Cactus Jack in the first round of the tournament! “Hair of the dog that bit ya”, is what they always told me! Jack, you're gonna find out that Johnny Ace bites back!
COMMERCIAL
“Tennessee Stud” Ron Fuller & Gentleman Jimmy Golden vs. SD Jones & Davey Rich: Once again, Fuller seems a bit distracted and looks over his shoulder several times. The announce team speculates that he is worried about Austin Idol making an appearance! SD & Davey give the Stable a very competitive bout tonight, but when Fuller appliesd the Fuller leglock on Rich, it's all over!

COMMERCIAL
The Nasty Boys (w/Superstar Bill Dundee) vs. Art Barr & Calypso Jim: As they enter the ring, the Nastys are making the belt around the waist gesture. Their opponents seem game, but the Nastys' brawling style eventually overwhelms them. Knobbs pins Calypso Jim after an elbow off the top rope.
VTR:
We see the interior of a dojo. Two masked men are sparring with several men in karate gi. The masked men take their opponents apart. A short, squat Japanese man walks into the scene. He carries a kendo stick and yells instructions in Japanese. Mark Lowarance enters the picture.
LOWRANCE: I am here to give the viewers of UWA Fury our first look at a new tag team coming to the UWA. They are called the Rising Suns. I assume that you are Mr. Tojo Yamamoto, the manager of this team.
TOJO: Yes, boy san! There are many tag teams in the UWA. Some very good! They don't have Japanese discipline like my team does! The Japanese way of doing things is superior! That is why you see all Americans driving Japanes cars and buying Japanese electronics. Because of Japanese discipline, we do things much, much better!
LOWRANCE: Well, you're certainly entitled to your opinion, sir! We'll look forward to seeing the Rising Suns on UWA FURY very soon!
COMMERCIAL
Don Muraco comes to the ring, high fiving fans as he goes. The music and the glad handing seem to indicate that Muraco will start out as a face in the UWA...
Don “the Rock” Muraco vs. Bill Tabb: The announce team gushes about Muraco's accomplishments and credentials. He looks impressive in his debut as he puts Big Bill away with a reverse piledriver. Stasiak says that is very similar to the move that the Master of Pain uses.
MARSHALL: We saw a preview of the Rising Suns earlier. They aren't the only team coming in soon! Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for THE FABULOUS ONES!!!
COMMERCIAL
VTR:
We see the front porch of a bunkhouse. A large man dressed in a duster coat and black Stetson walks onto the porch and addresses the camera.
BASS: My name is Ron Bass. Some people call me The Outlaw and that suits me fine! What I am is one of the baddest pieces of work to ever step foot in the wrestling ring! I hear y'all got what you call an Undisputed World Champion in the UWA. I hear it's Billy Jack Haynes! (rubs hands together) That sounds really good to me because I have wrestled ol' Billy Jack in the past and it went my way! Haynes, you know that I can beat you, hoss, and I'll do it again once I get there! Git used to seeing my face because I'll be your Champion before too long!
Bill Dundee leads Jos LeDuc and Nord the Berzerker to the ring! They are all sporting House of Dundee T shirts and they look ready for a fight! They had better be ready!
“Midnight Soldier” Brian Adams charges two the ring with two recruits for his Midnight Army!
“Midnight Soldier” Brian Adams, Dirty Dutch Mantel, & Iceman King Parsons vs. Superstar Bill Dundee, Nord the Berzerker , & Jos LeDuc: Lee Marshall is quick to point out that several fans are wearing Midnight Army T shirts(OK, we gave freebies to the first 500 fans) and that Adams and Company are receiving great fan support. Early on, the faces take turns bouncing Dundee around the ring. Dundee turns the tide by tagging out. For several minutes, the heels ieolate Iceman and really give him a vicious pounding. Of course, the match eventually breaks down into a pier six brawl! Adams and Nord continue their war as they fight all over the arena! LeDuc brawls with Mantel at ringside. In the ring, Iceman catches Dundee in an inside cradle to give the faces the win!

Mark Lowrance is standing at ringside with Billy Jack Haynes.
LOWRANCE: We are only six days away from WINTER WARFARE on Pay Per View! Undisputed World titleholder Billy Jack Haynes will defend his belt against Dangerous Dan Spivey and the Master of Pain in an Iron Man Match. Billy, do you think you can pull it off?
BILLY JACK: Mark, have you been hearing what I've been hearing? “Billy Jack is in over his head”? “Haynes can't do this?”
LOWRANCE: Yes, to be honest, I have heard some people saying that.
BILLY JACK: Good! Ever since I was boy on the streets of Portland, I've heard'em say “Billy can't do this” or “Billy can't do that” or “Billy will never amount to anything”. They said I'd never get past 8th grade! I've got a high school diploma! They said I'd be on government assistance all my life. I've never held a welfare check in my hand, don't even know what a food stamp looks like! They said I'd never be a star in wrestling. They said that Danny Spivey was the future star with the heighth and the long blonde hair...(holds up the title belt) Well, who's the champ, people? Yeah, they've always said Billy jack couldn't do it! And I've proved 'em wrong every time! If you wanna see me prove the doubters wrong one more time, but the pay per view! I'm dedicating the match to every skinny little boy who's ever been pushed around at school! This is for every woman and child who's been abused! For everybody like my father who can't see or lives life in a wheelchair! This is for every kid who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks like I did! My name is Billy Jack Haynes and I am the people's champion!
LOWRANCE: Quite a statement from the Undisputed World Champion!
We have a somewhat unusual grouping here- Miss Linda leads a prancing Adrian Street and they are followed by the massive Super Samoans, who look a bit lost without their manager, Ron Wright.
The tune changes and so does the crowd reaction as the most popular tag team in wrestling and the popular TV Champion enter the arena!
MAIN EVENT: The Rock and Roll Express & Tom Prichard vs. The Super Samoans & Exotic Adrian Street (w/Miss Linda): Ricky starts out fast and furious against Street, but once Kokina tags in and hits a series of headbutts, Ricky is doing what he does best-selling a beating. After absorbing prodigous amounts of punishment, Ricky manages to tag out. At this point, it becomes very tough for referee Sandy Barr to control the action. It looks like the bout is over when Prichard hits Prichard with a superkick and covers the Exotic one! Unfortunately, Barr is concentrating on getting Robert Gibson and Afa out of the ring and doesn't see Kokina dropping a leg across the back of Prichard's neck and putting Street on top of Prichard! By the time, Barr turns around, he sees Street on top of Prichard and counts 1-2-3! Stan Stasiak says that if that happens at WINTER WARFARE, we'll have a new TV Champion and Prichard will be out of the UWA!
MARSHALL: Make sure that you've contacted your cable company to sign up to view WINTER WARFARE in the comfort of your own home! Next week on UWA FURY, We'll see the debut of the Fabulous Ones and Outlaw Ron Bass! Billy Jack Haynes & Johnny Ace will take on Nord the Berzerker & Cactus Jack! “Midnight Soldier” Brian Adams will take on Dangerous Dan Spivey! The new American Champion will be in action! Whoever comes out of WINTER WARFARE as TV Champion will defend against Jos LeDuc! You don't want to miss it!
Working on it now.
