 ~~ An intro video of MCW wrestlers in action set to the tune of “Nothing’ But a Good Time” by Poison is played until the camera focuses on Lance Russell & Dave Brown at ringside.~~

LR: Yellow everyone. I am Lance Russell and with me is Dave Brown and fans…what a show we have this week. But before I get in to that, I am happy to announce we have a new television champion. Last Tuesday in Evansville, “Fabulous One” Steve Keirn defeated Mark Fleming for the MCW television title and man, it was a doozy and we are going to show you that match later. Dave, do you want to rundown the card?

DB: Sure. We are going to see Al Snow take on Frankie Lancaster. Both men are looking for that one big win. In a non-title match, the Southern heavyweight champion “Diamond” Tim Flowers will take on “Jumping” Joe Savoldi. The TV title will be on the line when new champion Steve Keirn defends against Jim Brunzell and in the main event today, there will be a match to determine the number 1 contenders to the MCW tag team titles currently held by The Rock N Roll RPM’s. It will be between The Stud Stable made up of Robert Fuller & Jimmy Golden, and the Rich cousins, Davey & Johnny Rich.

LR: Not a bad match at all. Fans, lets get to the ring for the action.

 **Lance Russell has Jeff Jarrett join him at the announce table. **

LR: Jeff, welcome to Memphis Championship Wrestling.

JJ: Thank you Lance. As you know this has been my life ever since I was born and I am happy to be here. My daddy restarted this league and brought wrestling back to Memphis and the fans are so good. So here I am and I want to say somethings here. To any of those wrestlers in the back who think because my father is Jerry Jarrett, well…just come get in the ring.

LS: I imagine they will have a tough time. I hear you are not alone.

JJ: No, Lance, I am not. I have my partner Billy Joe Travis. We are going to be going for the tag team titles and I will be looking at the US junior title myself. So Jerry Lynn, get ready for that.

LS: Thank you Jeff. Fans, let’s go to Les Thatcher at the control station.

**We get sent to Les in front of the MCW banner. With him is Jerry Stubbs**

LT: Fans, this Monday night in the Mid-South Coliseum we are going to see some great matches including Brian Lee taking on Jerry O, the US Junior heavyweight champion Jerry Lynn taking on Barry Horowitz and this man, Jerry Stubbs, taking on Jeff Jarrett.

JS: You know, Les Thatcher…you and me, we go back a long, long time.

LT: We do.

JS: So let me ask you this…do I or have I ever seemed like the kind of man who didn’t do as I said I would? Do I seem like the man who just went away and stopped being the best wrestler I can be?

LT: Not that I know of, no.

JS: Right, so what do you think I am going to do to this punk, Jarrett? Jeff, let me tell you something...everything you have done, everything you hope to do, I did it more than once. You have been in the sport for 5 minutes. We are going to see what your old man taught you on Monday night. It won’t go well for you.

LT: Thanks Jerry. Fans, we will be right back.

LR: Welcome back fans. Dave…can you believe that? Al Snow gets his win, Jeff Jarrett returns and his first test will be one of his hardest in “Mr. Olympia” Jerry Stubbs.

DB: That is a huge test for sure. And that isn’t it. Monday has some other huge matches too.

LR: It does and we will get to those later. Right now it is time for a non-title match between the Southern heavyweight champion “Diamond” Tim Flowers and “Jumping” Joe Savoldi. Dave, if you can do the introductions?

 **Flowers joins Lance at the desk**

TF: Lance Russell, I need you to pay attention. I need you to look at who is the Southern heavyweight champion. Who is the champion, Lance Russell?

LR: You are.

TF: That’s right. I am. “Diamond” Tm Flowers. I beat how many others to get this belt and then I went on to beat the legendary Junk Yard Dog just this week. So what that means is, I am a fighting champion. Now, Monday night I am in a tag team match that I didn’t want to be in. Kerry Brown signed us up and got us in to this tag team match and then Kerry Brown left the territory. So, I had to pick a new partner. I have him in Al Snow. He is a student in multiple martial arts. He is a pro wrestling student of ole & Gene Anderson as well as Jim Lancaster. And now, he get to team with the champion. But Lance… this isn’t all. I have some disappointing news as well as great news.

LR: Oh yeah? What news is that?

TF: Well, first of all, the disappointing news. Last week I announced my signing with Paul Jones and was going to join his army. It seems as though Paul and I are already parting ways. Paul has his plans to build an international army which he will introduce in his own time. But now the great news. I, “Diamond” Timothy Flowers, the first and only MCW Southern heavyweight champion, has signed with the only man who can handle such New York awesomeness. That man is the manager of champions….JOHNNY V!!!!

**Johnny V comes out with his MCW tag team champions, The Rock N Roll RPM’s**

JV: Lance Russell…this is all your pleasure. What you see here is the manager of champions. You can’t deny that. I have both the Southern heavyweight champion and the tag team champions. Soon I will have the TV champion and I will have the US junior champion all under my tutelage.

LR: You are right, I can’t deny that you are a manager of champions.

JV: No, Lance. -THE- manager of champions. Now Al Snow.. Monday night you get to prove your skill against two tough bodybuilders. Show us you are worth a spot in my stable and we will consider it. Mess it up and well…you won’t want that to happen. Now as I said, this was all your pleasure Lance.

**He walks his guys out as Lance sends us to Les Thatcher again**

LT: With me is the team that will face the Southern heavyweight champion “Diamond” Tim Flowers and Al Snow, Frankie Lancaster & Wendell Cooley. Welcome gentlemen.

WC: Thanks Les. Monday night I get my shot at Flowers and Snow. Snow, this isn’t a bad thing for you. You are in the wrong place at the wrong time. Flowers, same with you. This is a cheque your I guess now former partner signed that is being cashed. But what this does it it allows Frank and I to team agan and maybe make that run for the tag team titles. But it also lets me get the Southern heavyweight champion in the ring and test him out. For those reasons, I can’t wait until Monday.

LT: Fans, we will be right back.

LR: We are back now and man, Monday’s card is getting bigger and better. But right now it is TV title time. AS we said at the top of the show, “Fabulous One” Steve Keirn defeated Mark Fleming to become the champion. Now he gets to defend the title against a tough high flyer, Jim Brunzell.

DB: Both guys are tag team specialists but can still hold all the singles gold they can get their hands on. This will be no different.

LR: Let’s get in that ring for the action.

 **Keirn comes to Lance and Dave after his match.**

LS: Welcome home “Fabulous One” Steve Keirn and congratulations on that TV title win.

SK: Thanks, Lance. It is a pleasure to be here, and it is a pleasure for me to be the TV champ for all the fans. Now we all know I have a history here and have always been there for the fans.

LR: Yeah you have.

SK: I will continue to do that. I noticed there are some people like “Dirty White Boy” Tony Anthony, The Stud Stable, and Jerry Stubbs are here. That is ok with me. Boys, understand who holds this belt and understand what I will do to keep it for the fans. I have been on the side you are on and I am no stranger to those tactics so don’t think for a second you are going to ger one over on me. You want the title belt, step up. I will be waiting.

LS: Thanks Steve. Fans, let’s go out to Les at the interview area.

**We go to Les Thatcher who is with “Dirty White Boy” Tony Anthony.**

LT: Monday night in that huge card, this man here, “Dirty White Boy” Tony Anthony will be going against “Jumping” Jim Brunzell. Tony?

DWB: What do you expect me to say here, Les? Yes. Monday night I am going to get in the ring with Jim Brunzell and on Monday night I am going to cripple him. When that is done… Steve Keirn. You want to talk about the people you heard are here and it is ok with you? Son, you don’t got no choice in the matter. You say you are no stranger to my tactics…I don’t have any tactics. I am a come right to your face and beat your brains in type of guy. That isn’t a tactic. That is me kicking your tail. So let me say this to you. Call out who you want but of you put the name of the “Dirty White Boy” in your mouth again, we are going to have a problem. Jim Brunzell, Monday night I am your problem.

LT: We will be right back.

LR: We are back and it is time for the main event. This will determine who the number one contenders are to the tag team titles. The Stud Stable are ready to fight and you know the Rich cousins are as well. So fans, let’s just go to the action. Dave, if you will.

 **Lance has the Stud Stable with him**

LR: Robert, you held the tights.

RF: I did no such thing, Lance Russell. My cousin Jimmy and I beat them fair and square.

**The Rich Cousins come over as Lance tries to keep it calm**

JR: You held my tights, Fuller. You know you did. You and your cousin can’t beat me and mine fairly and you know it.

JG: Listen punk, anytime you two want that rematch, we can do it.

DR: Monday night. We want that rematch Monday night.

RF: You got it.

**As Davey & Johnny turn to leave, they are attacked from the back by Fuller & Golden. This leads to a brawl that goes to the back. As it calms down, Lance has Dave run the show down before saying to stay tuned next week for more action. **
