LR: Yellow everybody. I am lance Russell and with me is Dave Brown and man, we have a great show for you this week. Dave, why don’t you lay it on them.
DB: Well, Lance, we are going to see Max Payne take on the Junk Yard Dog, Pul Jones’ Army taking on Jerry O & Jim Savoldi. We are going to see the match of the strongmen when “Mr. USA” Tony Atlas takes on Don “The Rock” Muraco and in the main event, the TV title will be on the line when “Fabulous One” Steve Keirn defends the title against Dirty White Boy.
LR: That is a heck of a card. Folks, you won’t want to miss a second of it. As a matter of fact, let’s go to the ring for the first match.

Max Payne def. Junk Yard Dog

**Payne joins Lance at the announce desk**
LR: Max Payne, that was a heck of a match.
MP: LANCE RUSSELL….YOU DON’T GET TO TALK RIGHT NOW!!!! I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY!!!!
LR: Well go a head, no one is stopping you.
MP: I WANT another big man to get in the ring. I WANT to show I am the meanest man in professional wrestling.
LR: Well, you have people like “Big Steel Man” that will say otherwise.
MP: BIG STEEL MAN??? Don’t make me laugh Lance Russell. Anytime that boy wants a match, he can have one. I ain’t hard to find.
**Phil Hickerson comes out**
LR: Phil, we don’t want any trouble out here.
PH: There won’t be no trouble, Lance. I am just here to talk to this big boy. Hey, big man…how about next week we get in the ring and you try to throw this hoss around?
MP: Old man…you don’t want none of this coming at you.
PH: Call me old man one more time and find out what I want.
MP: Listen, old man….
**That was all it took for Hickerson to wallop Payne in the head with a solid right. The two bulls start brawling as Lance calls for officials to break it up. When it finally gets split apart, Lance sends us to commercial break. **

**COMMERCIAL BREAK (Local commercials with ads for house show events interspersed including how to get tickets and be involved in MCW shows & wrestling school.) **
.
.
LR: Well Dave, it looks like we got everything calmed down out here.
DB: That it does, Lance. Those two are going to fight again. We know that.
LR: It will be a slobber knocker. What does this guy want now?
**Paul Jones comes out with his Army.**
PJ: Lance Russell, last week I showed off how good my army is. You are getting to see that again. But that isn’t all. See…my very life has been threatened by the mouth breathing inbreds in the audience.
LR: Can you blame the fans for being angry after comments like that? And by the way, you keep commenting like that and you won’t be interviewed anymore.
PJ: Always with the threats. That is why Memphis has so many issues. Now, for all you that think you can threaten the great Paul Jones…let me introduce you to this monster…..COMRADE BUSICK!!!!
**This brick of a person walks out and stands in front of Jones, arms crossed**
PJ: If anyone of you mongloids come out here and threaten me again, Comrade Busick will tear your heads off. Now, Lance Russell, you will excuse me. My men have a tag team match.

Paul Jones’s Army (Hase & Hashimoto) def. Jerry O & Jim Savoldi

**”Wildcat” Wendell Cooley comes out to join Lance at the interview desk.**
LR: Fans, we have “Wildcat” Wendell Cooley. Wildcat, welcome partner.
WC: Thank you Lance. Before we get too busy here, I have something to say. A couple weeks ago I got the Southern heavyweight champ in the ring, right or wrong?
LR: Yeah you did.
WC: Right. And in that match, did I lose or was my partner pinned?
LR: Your partner was pinned.
WC: Right. Now, second last question. Did the Southern champ constantly run away from me the entire time I was in the ring?
LR: He did do that, yes.
WC: So then, Lance, final question. How come I don’t have a title shot yet? I showed everyone that he is afraid of getting in the ring with me. I should have my title shot and I should have it now. I am saying right now I am the number one contender to that Southern heavyweight title. Now I understand the card is full today and Monday. But I am going to be here next Saturday, right here on TV and Tim Flowers…you better be too because I am not going to go away until I get you in the ring, one on one, title on the line. I mean this. Time to get in the ring. Get ready Flowers, because the “Wildcat” is coming.
**Lance thanks him and sends us to commercial break.**
.

**COMMERCIAL BREAK (Local commercials with ads for house show events interspersed including how to get tickets and be involved in MCW shows & wrestling school.) **
.
.
LR: We are back and it is time for the big powerful men to step in the ring. Mr. USA Tony Atlas will take on Don “The Rock” Muraco and let me tell you this, those two men can move any mountain in front of them, that is for sure.
DM: You know, Lance, I stood beside Muraco in the back and he was a wall, a solid wall.
LR: And when you add “Mr. USA” Tony Atlas to this.. whoooo boy. Let’s get to the introductions if you can, Dave.

**Lance welcomes the Rock N’ Roll RPM’s the MCW Tag team champions to the announce desk**
LR: Welcome guys.
MD: Listen here Lance…I know you set up out interview time but I need you to let me talk. Ever since we not only won these belts, but ran such teams as The Nasty Boys, and The Midnight Rockers out of MCW, we have had a ton of teams talking about title matches with none showing up. Now Monday night we have this team made up of two punks, Scotty the Body and Barry Horowitz…where are the actual challengers?
LR: Those two are tough guys.
MD: No they aren’t Lance and you know this. When are we going to get the big teams? Where are these Wild Eyed Southern Boys? Where are the Jeff Jarretts & Billy Travis? Where are the Rich Cousins? Where is the Stud Stable? Bill Dundee is running around here, where is -his- partner? We can’t wait forever you know. We want the competition. Our manager Johnny V said we will get some and we want some.
**Superstar Bill Dundee comes out**
BD: Listen here, Jack… you don’t want to be naming names of the people who can kick your tail. There are a lot of good teams here in Memphis Championship Wrestling but if you want to keep running your gums, I will tell you what. Next week I have someone coming in here that would love to get their hands on those pretty belts you have around your waists. So how about this…you put them belts up against me and my partner next week.
TL: Who is your partner?
BD: That don’t matter, does it? You want competition. You want to fight the best and buddy, I am telling you me and my partner next week? We are the best.
MD: You got it. Bring whoever you want to the ring, Dundee. We are going to go through you like we do everyone else in the world.
BD: Well, we will have to see about that, won’t we. I’ll be seeing ya next week.
**Dundee leaves while keeping an eye on the champs as Lance sends us to commercial.**
.

**COMMERCIAL BREAK (Local commercials with ads for house show events interspersed including how to get tickets and be involved in MCW shows & wrestling school.) **
.
.
LR: Well Dave…this has been a heck of a show so far. Monday night at the Mid-South Coliseum will be just as good. We are going to see Phil Hickerson take on Pez Whatley, the team of Jarrett & Travis in action and in that main event, the MCW Southern heavyweight title will be on the line when Junk Yard Dog tries to take the belt from “Diamond” Tim Flowers.
DB: You are right. That is a heck of a solid card. Don’t forget we are going to get a tag team title match AND the “Superstar” take on Jimmy Golden from the Stud Stable.
LR: Oh, there is no forgetting that. Now it is time for the main event, television time remaining. The “Fabulous One” Steve Keirn will be defending his TV title against “Dirty White Boy” Tony Anthony and I have to tell you, this won’t be a wrestling match, it will be a fight. Dave, if you can do the introductions…
/
/
MAIN EVENT (Television Championship): “Fabulous One” Steve Keirn *champion* Vs Dirty White Boy Tony Anthony ends in double count out after they can’t keep it in the ring.
/
/
**The two keep brawling all over the studio with Lance and wrestlers from the back trying to break it up. When it finally is, Eddie Marlin comes out with something to say. **
EM: I told those two to keep it in the ring and they didn’t so next week we are going to get it settled. Next week there will be a lumberjack match. If either of those two get out of the ring, you can bet your week’s pay that the wrestlers outside will throw them back in. They will have no choice but to keep it in the ring.
LR: Thanks, Eddie. Dave, if you want to give a rundown of this wild show…
**Dave gives the rundown of the matches and action before Lance says goodbye, telling the fans to stay tuned next week for more Memphis Championship Wrestling.
