BRUNO HAS THE MIKE!

Bruno: “I’ll take it here from there, baldy! Yes at The Legacy, in the first round match this man The Mighty Yankee will rassle the winner of Booker T v Love Machine which will be shown here next week, and what a gift, what manna from heaven because not only do I get to scout those two ahead of time, they will beat each other up, and have to rassle right away against my Mighty Yankee, whose gonna beat one of those two, then beat Ron Simmons or Hashimoto after they have a tough match, why the path to the UWF World title is paved easier than the path to Atlanta for Sherman, haw haw haw!

Chris Cruise is with BOTH Steve Austin and Lady Blossom as well as his first round opponent at The Legacy, Matt Bourne!

Chris: “Gentlemen, it’s not often wrestling features fan favorites versus fan favorites, or so-called bad guys wrestlers v other bad guy wrestlers but that is just what we will see in Shreveport at the Legacy and gentlemen, I want to know which one of you two will take the LOWEST ROAD to get to the UWF title?

Steve: “I am insulted by that suggestion Crispy Cruiser, Stunning Steve Austin doesn’t need shortcuts to get to the top, but my opponents often let their guard down and its my job to take advantage when they do! And Matt Bourne, as much respect as I have for you, keep in mind you let your guard down for one second at The Legacy, Stunning Steve Austin WILL take advantage and move on in the tournament and eventually win that UWF World title!

Matt: “Well Steve here’s the difference between you and me: I LOVE being a bad guy wrestler, HAHAHAHAHA! Whenever the fans boo and curse at me, I know I’m doing MY job because that means I’m kicking the brains out of one of their heroes and winning matches! I’m sure no fans will be cheering either of us, but trust me, I am willing go as low, and dirty as I need to go to win that World title, and that means I will do whatever I need to do to get a win over YOU, Stunning Steve . . . . .HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Steve: “Well if that’s the way it’s gonna be, that’s the way it has to be, March 19 at the Legacy, trust you me Matt Bourne, as low down as you get, the bottom line is STUNNING STEVE WILL GO EVEN LOWER TO GET WHAT I WANT!

Chris: “Fans in Shreveport might not be cheering for either of these men, but they should be treated to what I think will be a great first round match at The Legacy! More after these words!

Bill mentions that before they were the lovable Bushwhackers, licking fans heads, they were once known as the New Zealand Sheepherders, one of the most violent and vicious tag teams around!

Chris Cruise is with TERRY FUNK and . . . . “The Worlds Most Reliable Pawnbroker” Tod Gordon, Adnan-al Kaissey and their first gem in the Diamond Mine, THE BARBARIAN, and Chris reminds the fans that Funk and Barbarian will wrestle in a first round tournament match at The Legacy!

Tod: “Let me tell you something Terry Funk. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! You sir have been wrestling since 1965, but now its 1993, and while you have had a great career, you are old, you are broken down, and you are washed up, pro wrestling is ready for a NEW generation to take over, and that is what my Diamond Mine will prove when my Barbarian here beats you in Shreveport!

Terry: “Well, hahaha, my oh my, you sure have a big mouth Mister Tod Gordon, and you know what? You might be right. I AM old. I AM broken down. But washed up? That’s gonna be up to that man right over there to prove that! But let me tell ya somethin’ I have a few more fights left in me Tod Gordon, and one of them is gonna be against your man there, and the way I see I it I have a few more left and then I take that UWF World Heavyweight Championship!

Chris: “Terry Funk versus Barbarian, first round at the Legacy, what a match that should be lets go to the ring!

Chris Cruise is with Booker T and the Love Machine, who will wrestle next week for the right to make it to the Legacy!

Love Machine: “ALL EYES ON ME! I am not only the most talented, the most handsome and the most charismatic wrestler in Mid-South, but I’m gonna beat this man Booker T next week, and answer the insult of having to ‘earn’ my way into The Legacy by winning the UWF title!

Booker T: “You know something Love Machine, I don’t like you very much, but you and me both have the same motivation. Chris Cruise, just like this man here, I feel BOOKER T deserves to be in the 8 man tournament for the world title belt at The Legacy, but apparently the UWF TITLE COMMITTEE doesn’t see things that way. So Love Machine, yes, I am motivated too to not only beat YOU next week right here on TV, but to prove all the doubters wrong by working my way all the way to the top!

Chris: “Fans, two very motivated young men will wrestle each other next week, right here on this very program, with the winner punching his ticket to The Legacy! Best of luck to both of you gentlemen, and we will be right after this!
