$1,000 A Punch Match: Nasty Boys (w/Superstar Bill Dundee) vs. Mike Graham & Steve Keirn: The Nastys wear their amatuer gear to the ring. Surprisingly, the Nastys attempt to wrestle cleanly tonight. Of course, that plays right into the hands of Graham & Keirn. After around 10 minutes of action, each team has only throwm two punches each. The turning point comes when Keirn goes for a flying forearm on Sags, but the Nasty Boys gets out of the way and Keirn nails referee David Manning instead! With the ref flat on his face, Dundee enters the ring and throws a handfull of powder into the eyes of both Keirn and Graham! With the faces blinded, they are at the mercy of the Nasty Boys!

BONI: By hook or by crook, the Nasty Boys win!
DUNDEE: What's that supposed to mean?
BONI: We all saw the powder you threw!
SAGS: They said not to throw punches. They didn't say we couldn't throw powder, did they?
DUNDEE: We're just too smart for' em, ain't we? And I can't wait to wake up in the morning, 'cause I get better lookin each day, Bonnie baby!
BONI: OK, I've been informed that each team threw two punches. They cancel each other out...
DUNDEE: So we don't owe them anything, do we?
SAGS: I hope you jabronis enjoyed your wrestling lesson!
KNOBBS: It was a good, clean win!
BONI: The TV Title Match is up next!
