Buddy Landell is with Lance: “Ron Garvin, you had NO BUSINESS coming to ringside at Clash of the Champions and interfering in my business!
Lance: “Well hold on for a second there Buddy, we haven’t shown the tape yet, but you are the one that used a foreign object to try and take the National title from Ron Simmons, I know Ron Garvin is looking for that same opportunity, and frankly after what you did to get that title match, I don’t blame Ron for doing what he did: telling the referee what happened!
Buddy: “Lance Russell, you are leaving out the other part of the story: GARVIN INTERFERED IN THE MATCH! Well next week here on TBS I promise I will expose Ron Garvin for that he really is on national tv: a RAT, a STOOL PIGEON, a TATTLETALE AND A SNITCH!

7. TEXAS TORNADO MATCH
FOR THE WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS
ARN ANDERSON + TULLY BLANCHARD w/JJ Dillon v THE FANTASTICS
The bell rings and all four men have their dukes up and fists are exchanged and then the fight begins! The ref has his hands full trying to break up the brawl but it’s a Texas Tornado match what is he supposed to do? As the fight continues, JJ Dillon removes a middle turnbuckle behind the refs back, who is too busy keeping an eye on four men at once. At the 10-minute mark, Tully goes to whip Bobby Fulton into the open turnbuckle, BUT ITS REVERSED, AND TULLY FLIES INTO IT . . .wait!
.
.
.
JJ HAD HIS JACKET OFF, AND THROWS IT BETWEEN TULLY AND THE BUCKLE TO LESSEN THE BLOW, STILL Tully flies backwards, AND BOBBY COVERS HIM: 1-2-
.
.
.
.
ARN ANDERSON MAKES THE SAVE! I guess it’s legal?
AA puts the boots to Fulton but Rogers recovers from the beating he was getting from AA and stops him. Blanchard recovers and in the melee of this will match AA and Bobby then see the exposed turnbuckle and struggle to throw each other into it, even though JJ has his jacket over it! The ref sees this and asks JJ what he is doing meanwhile AA NUT SHOTS FULTON AND THROWS HIM INTO THE TURNBUCKLE AS JJ REMOVES HIS JACKET, FULTON FLIES INTO IT, FALLS BACK AND TULLY THROWS ROGERS THROUGH THE ROPES AND LEAPS ON FULTON:
1-------2-------3!!!!!

Ron Garvin joins Lance one week before he is to face Buddy Landell, right here on World Wide Wresting next week!
Ron Garvin: “HEY Buddy Landell, I bet you are REAL MAD that I stepped in and told the ref what you did in your match with Ron Simmons at the Clash and then cost you the match! Well guess what? It was REVENGE for you cheating ME out of a title shot opportunity using liniment on your hands! You want to call me snitch? Then I am a snitch and I am proud of it! Now guess what Landell, next week I won’t have chemicals on my fists, and the officials will make sure you don’t have any. But even if you DO, I will be ready because Hands of Stone hit harder than Hands of Perfume anytime soon!
