Chris Cruise in a pretape with BUTCH REED AND GARY ALBRIGHT. Chris asks the million dollar question: who would they prefer to wrestle at The Legacy for the Mid-South tag team championships: Hansen/Severn or Idol/JYD?

Butch: “That’s a great question Chris Cruise. Junkyard Dog and I have a long history, a lot of water under the bridge, and I’m proud to say we are now good friends. So, from a respect standpoint, Ill be rooting for JYD and Austin Idol but I think the big man here has a different perspective!

Gary: “That’s right, I’ve crossed paths many times in Japan and in the NCAA with Dan Severn, and I’d love nothing more than to ram him into the mat, and take those Mid-South Tag Team titles and settle it for once and for all!

Butch: “Either way, it’s gonna be a great match later this hour, and at The Legacy!

Chris: “That is something I think all three of us can agree on, more after this!

Simmons: “Man oh man that’s a tough one Mr. Cruise, you got that Love Machine Art Barr he flies around that ring at lightning speed, but I gotta go with a Brotha, and that is Booker T! But remember my focus is 100% on Shinya Hashiimoto, and both these men better just focus on each other and not think about The Legacy yet!

STAN HANSEN + DAN SEVERN w/The Natural v AUSTIN IDOL + JUNKYARD DOG

The bell rings and its Severn versus Dog, and quickly Severn takes down JYD with classic wrestling moves, JYD keeps going to the ropes to break them up, then GOES FOR THE CHEST SLAP! Severn returns with European uppercuts, but it’s a mistake as Dog knows how to brawl with best of them, and suddenly has Severn trapped in the corner taking chop after chop then a HEADBUTT, and down goes the NCAA champion, holding his forehead, and Junkyard Dog is on top of him with forearm smashes and kicks but Severn manages to tag to Stan Hansen, and here comes Hansen a ball of fire, but JYD punches at him, 1-2 combo, and goes down Hansen, with JYD covering him:1---2---

HANSEN KICKS OUT, JYD off the ropes as Hansen staggers up . . . .JYD WITH A CLOTHESLINE WHICH HE MISSES, HANSEN CATCHES JYD OFF THE ROPES and slams him! He tags out to Severn and a double team as the ref counts, Severn has JYD in a armlock, fans we have to take a break, out cameras are running if anything happens during the break we will have it for you and a stand by match DON’T TOUCH THAT DIAL!

Hansen and Severn are beating down JYD, and blocking every attempt he makes at the HOT TAG to Austin Idol! Fans remember the winner is one match away from the Mid-South Tag Team titles at the Legacy, its ALL on the line here this hour on Mid-South!

Junkyard Dog FINALLY makes the hot tag to Austin Idol who punches out both Severn and the legal man Hansen, and is all over Hansen with kicks, punches and stomps until Hansen rolls out of the ring, with Idol posing in the middle of the ring! A frustrated Hansen tags out to Severn who tackles Idol and ties him up in the middle of the ring, Austin finally gets to the ropes, they both stand up and Severn gets Austin with several leg kicks, Idol tags out to JYD who does the boxer shuffle and punches Severn to the left and right, Severn is staggered, JYD OFF THE ROPES WITH A CLOTHESLINE, SEVERN GOES DOWN, JYD COVERS:1----

HANSEN RUNS IN BUT IDOL MEETS HIM AND THEY CLOTHESLINE EACH OTHER! Its chaos as all four men are in the ring, and its time to bring this home JYD is the legal man with Severn, goes back for another clothesline, and as the ref tries to get Hansen and Idol out of the ring, THE NATURAL TRIPS JYD, he turns around to confront Natural, Severn comes up from behind, and SUPLEXES JYD, COVERS, 1

STAN HANSEN AND DAN SEVERN ADVANCE TO THE MID-SOUTH TAG TEAM TITLE FINAL, while Idol and Junkyard Dog will face the Bushwhackers at The Legacy!

Hansen and Severn leave victorious as Idol and JYD are in the middle of the ring when THE BUSHWHACKERS ENTER THE RING, AND LICK THE HEADS OF JYD AND IDOL, but look at this Idol and JYD are not in the mood for it, and waves them off with their silliness, but lovable Butch and Luke help them to the back anyway!

Lance: “What a classic match fans, see you Sunday Night at The Legacy!
