Bob Orton, Jr. walks out!
ORTON: That’s right, I’m gonna add the TV Title to our trophy case! Kevin Von Erich, your gymnastics don’t scare me and your claw don’t scare me! That TV Title is coming to the Organization!
ROTUNDA: President Cowboy says he has an announcement about the American Title that night! That announcement had better involve a member of the Organization wearing the belt! I put that title on the map and it is only right that one of my comrades takes over as champion! There’s also a tag team title match that night! The Organization challnges the winners of that match!
BONI: Which two of your wrestlers make the challenge?
MISSY: Little girl, does it matter? Have you seen all of the guys we’ve got? Any of ‘em can win any title! Isn’t that right, baby?
ROTUNDA: No doubt about it, Missy! I’m from New York, so I grew up listening to my grandfather talk about when the Yankees had “Murderer’s Row”, the greatest baseball team of all time! Well, the Organization is the “Murderer’s Row” of pro wrestling! Rotunda! Orton! Dr. Death! Muraco! Martel! Nobody can stand against us! That’s all of my time that you get! The pleasure was all yours!

Sir Oliver Humperdink leads his Moondogs to the ring as the fans boo!
MAGNUM: This would be a main event in any arena in the world!
The ‘Dogs & SOH enter the ring. Then, the music plays!
Here comes the Fantastics to a big pop!
THE FANTASTICS VS. THE MOONDOGS (W/SIR OLIVER HUMPERDINK): Bobby and Tommy start off fast and furious, using speed and precision team work. The heels gain an advantage and isolate Bobby for several minutes. Bobby takes a vicious beating before he manages to get the hot tag! Tommy cleans house, but Spot & Rex double team to retake the advantage. They go for a double backdrop but Tommy small packages Spot! When Rex tries to break it up, Bobby dropkicks him out of the ring! The Fantastics win! They look ready for the World Title match in Seattle!
COMMERCIAL
BADD COMPANY VS. LANCE VON ERICH & CHAVO GUERRERO: Your World Tag Team Champions also face solid competition tonight. Chavo & Lance give Diamond & Tanaka all they want. The champs have been working as subtle heels lately, but they go all out here tonight! Chavo has Tanaka locked in the Gory Specialwhen Diamond comes in and nails Chavo with a heel kick in the back of the head! Lance comes after Diamond, but referee Tommy Gilbert breaks that up. By the time, the ref gets order restored, Tanaka has covered Chavo for the pin!
LES: The Tag Title match at Showdown will be one of the best we’ve ever had!
COMMERCIAL
BOB ORTON, JR. VS. CHUCK COATES: Orton looks really sharp as he tunes up for Kevin Von Erich. Coates is no match for him and Orton wins with a superplex.
KEVIN VON ERICH vs. THE MASKED GLADIATOR: Kevin looks to be ready for Orton on the 5th. The eldest Von Erich brother hits a high cross body off the top rope to put away the masked man after a dominating performance! Then, he heads over to the interview area.
BONI: I’m here with Kerry Von Erich. Kevin is on his way after a very impressive victory. Kerry, SHOWDOWN IN SEATTLE will be a bi night for your family!
KERRY: That’s right, Boni! I heard Rotunda out here bragging earlier. Talking about how he’s gonna beat Jumbo this Wednesday. Mike, I’ve wrestled you and I’ve wrestled Jumbo! I believe he can take you! Bob Orton seems to think he’ll have an easy time with my big brother! Bob, I remember when my Dad wrestled your Dad! It didn’t go his way and I have confidence in my brother! He’s gonna hold onto that TV Title! If I was a gambler, I’d bet the house on it!
BONI: Speaking of Kevin, he’s here, too…
KEVIN: Kerry, you’re too modest! You haven’t even mentioned your match! Wrestling fans like to think of dream teams. You know, two guys who have never teamed up before. Well, you’ll see one on Wednesday in Seattle! Kerry and Sgt. Slaughter! This is the first time they have ever been a team! They are taking on the Russians! Humperdink, you might wanna buy two one way airline tickets to Moscow! After the Modern Day Warrior and the Sarge get done, your commies might not want to show their faces around here again!
KERRY: One more thing: I spoke with Lance back in the dressing room. BADD Company, he wasn’t too happy about the way that tag match went! You might just have the Von Erichs to deal with before it’s all over!
BONI: Kerry & Kevin Von Erich have a lot on their minds! We’ll have more UWA FURY after this!
COMMERCIAL
BIG JOHN STUDD (W/SIR OLIVER HUMPERDINK) VS. TODD CHAMPION: Two big men slug it out here tonight! Champion gives it his all, but the veteran Studd is just too much! Big John catches Champion in a bear hug and squeezes his way to a submission win!
LES: Here’s a Personality Profile focusing on Studd’s opponent as SHOWOWN IN SEATTLE!
PERSONALITY PROFILE
VTR:
We see footage of Scott Hall in action against various opponents.
LES(voice over): Scott Hall is one of the hottest wrestlers in the sport today. Almost every major promotion in the world was vying for his services and the UWA was very fortunate to sign him to an exclusive contract!
We see still photos that correspond to the next part of Thatcher’s narrative.
LES: Scott Hall was born on October 20, 1958. Scott’s father was a career military man, so Scott grew up as a world traveller. In fact, Scott graduated from high school in Munich, Germany.
We see footage of a much younger Scott trining in a ring with Hiro Matsuda and Steve Keirn.
LES: Scott grew into a 6’8, 280 pound frame. He chose professional wrestling as a profession and was trained by the legendary Hiro Matsuda and Steve Keirn in Tampa, Florida.
More action footage of Hall.
LES: Scott made his debut in Kansas City in 1984 and quickly made a name for himself as a powerful and exciting wrestler.
We go to footage of Scott working out on a Nautilus machine in a gym.
LES: Scott works tirelessly to keep himself in peak physical condition.
Scott suddenly seems to notice the camera. He steps away from the workout equipment and addresses the audience.
HALL: I’m really excited to be here in the UWA! I have a big match at SHOWDOWN IN SEATTLE against Big John Studd. He’s tough and he’s big, but I ain’t exactly a wallflower! I’m ready for action, baby! Tune in this Wednesday night here on TNT and see just how ready I am!
COMMERCIAL
BLACKJACK MULLIGAN & KENDALL WINDHAM VS. BRAD & BART BATTEN: Blackjack and son wrestle as all out heels here tonight! The Battens’ quickness makes it a contest, but Mulligan locks the clawhold onto Bart and it’s all over! Then, the victorious Texans join Boni…
BONI: Blackjack Mulligan and Kendall Windham , you were vicious in there tonight. Is that what Dustin Rhodes can expect at SHOWDOWN IN SEATTLE?
MULLIGAN: Maybe you ain’t such a dumb blode after all! That’s exactly what that boy can expect come SHOWDOWN IN SEATTLE! Dustin, you tried to make a name for yourself at my son’s expense! This man carried the Texas Broncos and you hogged the spotlight all for yourself! I guess it runs in the family!
WINDHAM: Dustin, when I git done with you, you’ll wish your old man had stayed in the plumbing business! You’ll wish you’d never laid eyes on a wrestling ring! You’re gonna regret all the times you were in the bar drinking when you should have been working out in the gym! You’ll be sorry for all the times you were slouched in the corner, hung over while I was fighting the good fight! After it’s over, you’ll crawl over to me and say, “Please, KW, take me back and let’s give the Texas Broncos one more shot! PLEASE!
MULLIGAN: And that’s when you spit in his face, son!
BONI: I think we’ve heard enough!
COMMERCIAL
TITO SANTANA VS. THE SOULTAKER: The Soultaker attacks Tito as soon as the bell rings and starts battering away on him! Santana attempts to come back several times, but it’s mostly hope spots! The battle spills outside of the ring where Soultaker posts Tito and then legdrops him on the floor! We see an insert of Al Perez and Baby Doll in the interview area, cheering the big man on! Magnum says he has never seen Tito take such a beating! Soultaker slams Tito onto the timekeeper’s table and bashes him with the ring bell! The ref’s count is at 7 as Soultaker re-enters the ring!
8….9...10!!!!!!
LES: An unbeleivable upset this week on UWA FURY, Magnum!
MAGNUM: If I hadn’t seen it, I would have never believed it!
LES: Boni, is standing by….
BONI: Al Perez, your guy, the Soultaker just destroyed Tito Santana!
PEREZ: That’s the word for it, Boni-DESTROYED!!! Tito is done! At SHOWDOWN IN SEATTLE, they can just ring the bell and raise my hand, ‘cause Tito will still be in the hospital!
Soultaker enters the scene! Perez slaps him on the chest and hugs him!
PEREZ: This man is the war machine, baby! Ain’t nobody can stand up to us! From the mean streets of Miami to Seattle! After I get my hand raised when Tito forfeits, we might just stick around! Wemight take on the winners of the tag team title match! Or I might just whip whoever wins between Rotunda and Tsuruta! One I don’t have to worry about is Tito, ‘cause he’s finished!
BABY DOLL(blows kiss at camera) Been nice knowing you, amigo! Hasta la vista!
PEREZ (mockingly): ARRIBA!
COMMERCIAL
MAGNUM: We have one more match on tonight’s card. Right now, we are gonna pitch it to Les Thatcher in Tito Santana’s dressing room!
Tito sits on a chair. He looks awful. His face is scarred with several bandages on it and he holds an ice pack on his head. Les Thatcher hovers over him, mic in hand.
LES: Tito, man, I apologize for coming back here at a time like this. If you don’t feel up to it, say the word, and I’m gone!
TITO: No, Les, I’ve always been honest with my fans before. Let’s do it!
LES: I’m here with a man who just took a hellacious beating. Tito, AL Perez says you won’t be able to wrestle him this Wednesday in Seattle!
TITO: Les, twelve years ago, I was in a car wreck. I was in ICU for a week after that. I didn’t feel as much pain in that ICU that I feel at this very moment! Perez, I don’t know what cave you dragged that Soultaker out of, but he gave me a beating like I’ve never had! shakes head) Do you honestly think that will stop me, Al? (throws ice pack to floor)I’ll be there Wednesday night if I have to crawl out of my death bed to do it! You know what they say about paybacks! Al, Baby Doll, and you, Soultaker, payback is coming! Tito Santana is coming! You won round one, but the fight is just getting started! ARRIBA!
“MEGABUCKS’ MICHAEL ROTUNDA (W/MISSY HYATT) VS. THE CHEETAH KID: Undisputed World Champ Rotunda tunes up for Tsuruta against a high flying masked wrestler. The Kid impresses, but he goes for one high spot too many and lands on his face. Rotunda locks in the STF and it’s all over! It looks like the champ is ready for SHOWDOWN IN SEATTLE!
LES: Don’t forget to tune in this Wednesday night for SHOWDOWN IN SEATTLE! 8 p.m., here on TNT!
