MARSHALL: Welcome to UWA FURY! Tonight, Michael Hayes defends his newly won UWA TV Title against a strong challenge from former World Junior Heavyweight Champion Dean Malenko.
MAGNUM: Hayes proved what kind of a man he was last week! He resorted to outside interference and a foreign object to beat Chris Adams for that belt! That’s not a real champion in my book, Stagger Lee!

SOH: Wasn’t that an impressive win for the Crippler?
OLIVER: Yeah, it was impressive, but how long do I have to beat up jabronis, Sir Oliver? Where are the Valiants, the Von Erichs, or the Slaughters? When do I get a title shot? I want some competition?
