MCW Tag Team: The Rock N Roll RPM’s
~~ 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: Yello everyone. I am Lance Russell and with me is Dave Brown. Welcome all you folks to Memphis Championship Wrestling. Boy howdy do we have a show for you. We are going to see Max Payne take on Phil Hickerson. Brian Lee will take on Jim Backlund. There will be a lumberjack match for the television title when “Fabulous One” Steve Keirn defends the title against “The Dirty White Boy” Tony Anthony. The main event though will be a tag team title match where The Rock N’ Roll RPM’s defend against “Superstar” Bill Dundee and a mystery partner. This will be a heck of a show.
DB: You are right at that, Lance. We have some hard hitting matches coming up.
LR: We are going to start it off with two bulls that were fighting last week. They almost destroyed our set. “Big” Phil Hickerson and Max Payne will be a huge hoss fight. Dave, if you will do the introductions….

**Bruno leads his man to Lance**
DTB: Did you see that, Lance? Did you see how my man took out a Memphis legend?
LR: What I saw was you get involved and let me tell you something. You can be assured that won’t happen again. Phil Hickerson is nothing to play way.
DRB: You should have stopped at “is nothing”. Lance, it doesn’t matter what fat Phil has to say about this. My man Max Payne beat him in the ring. My man Max Payne will do it again. It don’t matter who it is. It can be Fat Phil. It can be Big Steel Man. It can be Brian Lee. It can be any man who thinks he is big enough because Lance…mama says it bees this way sometimes.
**A VTR starts that has Lance running down Monday’s Mid-South Coliseum card**
LR: Folks, we have a huge card Monday night including this big match…”Wildcat” Wendell Cooley taking on “Diamond” Tim Flowers in a match for Flowers’ southern heavyweight championship. With is right now, Tim Flowers.
DTF: That is “Diamond” Tim Flowers. Look, Lance Russell…it looks like Wendell Cooley got what he wanted. The saying is though, watch what you wish for because you just might get it. I have been around for a long time. I have faced the best and beaten the best and son…you are going to learn a lesson you don’t want taught.
LR: “Wildcat” is a tough hombre.
DTF: So what? It is like this. He wants a title shot. He thinks he can beat me. He gets his shot on Monday. Then, when I knock his brains out, there is nothing left for him. Cooley…your time is coming to an end.
.
.
**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 man on man, what a card for Monday night.
DB: I Don’t think Tim Flowers knows what type of fight he is in for with Wendell Cooley.
LR: Pardner, I don’t think so either. Speaking of not being sure what you are about to get in to, it is time for Jim Backlund to take on “Primetime” Brian Lee and it will be a hard match. Dave, if you will do the introductions?

**Jeff Jarrett comes out to the table with Lance.**
LR: Jeff, welcome. How are you?
JJ: Well Lance, I am ok but I am a bit peeved off.
LR: What’s wrong Jeff?
JJ: Well Lance… a couple a weeks ago I came out here saying I want some shots, I want some opportunities be it for the US junior title or the tag belts, TV belt, heck…all of them. I even got me a partner and I still am being ignored and avoided. It ain’t right, Lance. I don’t know what I got to do to get noticed around here. Everyone thinks I am just some punk kid because my daddy is the promoter. I just want my shots.
**They are interrupted by Spike Huber & Al Snow. **
SH: Awww poor Jeff Jarrett. My daddy owns the company so give me a title shot. Boo hooo.
LR: Come on now Spike. There is no need for that out here. Get out of here if you are going to be that way.
SH: You know something Lance….there is a need for it. For far too long kids like him have been crying to get in to my business and asking for title shots they haven’t earned.
JJ: Haven’t earned?? Why don’t we get in the ring and see what I earned. Let’s get it done.
AS: Listen here punk…there are two of us and one of you.
**Billy Travis comes out and stands beside Jeff**
JJ: By my count, there are two of us and two of you. So, let’s do this.
SH: Jeff…we are a little tired right now from being up all night. So tell you what we will do. Next week you two come on down to the ring and we will gladly kick your tails.
**Jeff slaps Spike before he and Billy run to the ring.**
SH: YOU DON’T SLAP ME JEFF JARRETT!!!!
**Spike & Snow rush the ring but just stop short before returning to Lance.**
SH: You know what Jeff? We will do this on our time, not yours.
**They head to the back as we head 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: It looks like Jeff Jarrett & Billy Travis are having a match next week. Right now we are going to have a lumberjack match. What that means is there will be 8 men around the ring making sure neither “Dirty White Boy” Tony Anthony, nor the TV champ, “Fabulous One” Steve Keirn make their way out. If either of them leave the room, they will be thrown back in. Now, the lumberjack are Alex Porteau, Dale Veasey, Frankie Lancaster, Jerry Oske, Jerry Stubbs, Jimmy Backlund, Joe Savoldi, and Tony Atlas. So Davey, if you want to do the introductions…

MCW Television Championship (Lumberjack Match): “Dirty White Boy” Tony Anthony def. “Fabulous One” Steve Keirn *champion* after Keirn is attacked by Rip Oliver who ran in from the back, while the lumberjacks are busy fighting with each other. This allows Anthony to hit the Bucksnort Blaster and get the win and title
/
/
**Keirn is bleeding in the ring as help comes in for him while Anthony, and Oliver join Lance at the table.**
DWB: Did you see what we did there, Lance? Did you see what the Dirty White Boys did? I warned you Steve Keirn. I told you that the Dirty White Boy can play dirtier than anyone else. I told you to keep my name out of your mouth and you didn’t. Now nothing can go out of your mouth because the Dirty White Boys just busted your jaw.
RO: You know Lance…when my good friend Tony here, told me about this plan he had to come and cause some havoc and mayhem I couldn’t say no. The whole plan worked. He is the TV champion and Rock N’ Roll RPM’s, we are coming for those tag team belts too. Me, and the Dirty White Boy are here to cause some destruction so everyone get ready because blood is going to spill.
**They head to the back as Keirn is helped out and we head to the 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: Fans, we have an update on Steve Keirn. He is beaten and bloody but he will be ok. Those Dirty White Boys are going to get theirs, boy howdy, they are.
DB: Steve Keirn is not someone you want to mess with. Don’t let the “Fabulous One” stuff fool you. He is tough as nails.
LR: Right you are Dave. Folks, now it is time for the main event and it will be for the MCW tag team championship. Now, the Rock N’ Roll RPM’s don’t know who “Superstar” Bill Dundee’s partner is. Here are the champs now.
**The Rock N’ Roll RPMs come out**
MD: Where are these supposed partners? Why aren’t they out here? We want them in the ring right now.
LR: Hold your horses. I am sure they will be here.
TL: Tell them to come out now.
**The RPM’s head to the ring while they wait for Dundee and his partner. Dundee comes out and stands with Lance**
LR: Bill, can you get your partner out here so these two can shut up and get the match going?
BD: Well Lancer…you know the old “Superstar” here always has some tricks, right?
LR: Right.
BD: So what I did was I called a couple people and wouldn’t ya know… two answered. I said guys…I need me a partner to kick the tail of two mouthy guys. They both said what is in it for me because you know me and those I call friends, Lance. We don’t do nothing for free. So, I told them, fellas…what you get out of it besides beating the brains out of some punks is you get the MCW tag team titles. And you know what, Lance?
LR: What, Bill?
BD: They both said sign me up.
LR: Really?
BD: Really. So what I did is this. I thought, I can’t pick so I am going to let the Rock N’ Roll RPM’s pick who is going to beat their brains out. So fellas…it will door one, or door two. Pick one and we will get the match started.
**Both Lane and Davis come down.**
MD: What kind of game is this?
BD: No game. I couldn’t decide who I partner with to take your belts so I am letting you decide.
TL: And what if we just beat your butt right now.
BD: Boys, you try that and it will be all three of us kicking you teeth in. So pick, door one, or two.
MD: Ok… we pick door two.
BD: Alright. Let me tell you what you didn’t win.
**”Dirty” Dutch Mantel comes out.
DM: You two boys are lucky because me and shoo baby would have loved to tear a hide off of you.
**Dutch heads to the back**
BD: That means you pick door two and let me tell you your prize….
**Out comes “The Nature Boy” Buddy Landel. As soon as he is seen, Dundee throws a punch at Lane and tosses him in the ring to start the match. **

**Dundee and Landel are with Lance**
BD: Hey Budro…why don’t we skip this interview and go see if we can scare the champs right out of the building?
BL: You know, Bill, as much as I like to talk to ole’ banana nose, I like title belts more. So let’s go get ‘em.
**They head out as Lance and Dave rundown the show. We fade out to Lance telling everyone goodbye until next week.
