VTR:
Les Thatcher stands outside of a closed door.
LES: I am here at UWA Headquarters in Dallas. Behind this door, UWA President Cowboy Bill Watts is negotiating with Undisputed World Champion “Megabucks” Michael Rotunda
and Missy Hyatt. I’ve been invited to sit in on this meeting…
Les enters a conference room. Watts is on one side of the long table, Rotunda and Hyatt on the other.
WATTS: Thanks for joining us, Les, and welcome to all of our UWA FURY audience on TNT. As you know if you tuned in to SHOWDOWN IN SEATTLE, Kerry Von Erich has challenged World Champion Michael Rotunda to a championship match at the huge BATTLE BOWL card in Texas Stadium on May 26th. I understand that you have some issues, Mr. Rotunda…
ROTUNDA: I do have some points to make, President Cowboy! First, Kerry has been making hay about winning the World Title at Texas Stadium in the past. There are some extenauating circumstances regarding his NWA Title win against Ric Flair in 1984. I don’t want a repeat of that debacle. So I have some stipulations for any match we may have.
WATTS: OK, fire away!
ROTUNDA: The previous match waived the disqualification and countout rules. In other words, the championship would have changed hands if the champion had been DQ’d or counted out. You can see how that could ruin a champion’s strategy. If I defend against Kerry in Texas Stadium, I want standard championship match rules to prevail.
WATTS: No problem!
ROTUNDA: Secondly, the previous match was contested in the afternoon. A May afternoon in Texas does not provide optimum conditions for wrestling. That day in 1984, it was nearly 110 degrees on the floor of the Stadium! Mr> flair nearly suffered a heat stroke! I will not be subjected to that! I won’t risk my health! I demand that the card on May 26th take place in primetime!
WATTS: You’ll be happy to know that our contract with the Stadium calls for a 7:30 starting time!
ROTUNDA: Kerry says he is undefeated in Texas Stadium and there’s a very good reason for that record! Every time that Kerry has ever wrestled there, David Manning was the referee! David is A Texan and a close friend of Fritz Von Erich! I want an official who is not a native of Texas!
WATTS: Hey, I’ll just assign Scott LeDoux the match! He’s from Minnesota for crying out loud!
ROTUNDA: I also want Dr. Death to be in Battle Bowl and I want Muraco and martel to challenge the Fantastics for the World Tag Title! AT the end of the evening, the Organization will hold every championship in the UWA!
WATTS: I have no problem with Williams being in Lethal Lottery and Battle Bowl, but I’ll need to see Muraco and martel win some matches before I recommend the board grant them a title match!
ROTUNDA: Starting next week, they will begin teaming on a regular basis!
WATTS: OK, I’ve made the changes to this contract. (pushes document across the table) If it meets your approval, please sign it.
Rotunda and Missy look over the contract. After a whispered conversation, the champion signs.
ROTUNDA: Missy, I hear some female wrestling fans are crazy about Kerry Von Erich! How would you compare him to the Undisputed World Champion?
MISSY: You’re like the Taj Mahal...he’s more like a trailer park!
LES: Ladies and gentlemen, May 26th in Texas Stadium will be unforgettable!
STEVE “DR. DEATH” WILLIAMS VS. DERRICK DUKES: The announcers remind the fans that Battle Bowl, which Dr. Death is now entered in, will not only have a $100,000.00 cash prize, but the winner also will win the American Title and receive a future title match. Magnum wonders what will happen if Rotunda beats Kerry and Doc wins battle Bowl! That’s for the future. Tonight, Williams scores a convincing win against Dukes by pinning him afert anaweswome Oklahoma Stampede!

Rugged looking Bullwhip Johnson paces the ring. Then, we hear…
The Modern Day Warrior has arrived!
“MODERN DAY WARRIOR” KERRY VON ERICH VS. BULLWHIP JOHNSON: Kerry looks ready for Rotunda or anybody else! Johnson is bad dude and he makes it interesting, but Kerry puts him away with the Iron Claw.

VOICE OVER: From Japan comes the most powerful source in the world of wrestling!
WRESTLE KINGDOM IS COMING!!!
BONI: I am here with Scott Hall! Scott, at SHOWDOWN IN SEATTLE, you scored an impressive win over Big John Studd!
HALL: It was a bad night for the Hiuse of Humperdink! Studd decided that he’d had enough! I hear that he’s moved to Hawaii! Then, the Russians went back home to Moscow after Kerry and the Sarge beat’em! I guess the ols saying is true: crime doesn’t pay!
Look out! Sir Oliver Humperdink is here and he’s not alone! He has Kokina, Mukhan Singh, and the Iron Sheik with him!
SOH: You fool! I made you the offer of a lifetime and you turned it down! Yes, the House has had a few minor setbacks, but before it’s all over, we’ll dominate professional wrestling and you’ll be begging to be a part of the House of Humperdink!
HALL: Nah, I got too much self respect to join a freak show like this!
The House attacks Scott Hall and beat him down as humperdink cheers them on! They leave Hall lying in a heap! SOH grabs the mic out of Boni’s hand!
SOH: Look at him! He doesn’t look like such a superstar lying on the floor, does he, Boni? BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Boni is standing by…
BONI: Scott Hall is being tended to in his dressing room by medical personnel. Dustin Rhodes has joined me at this time and he’s not alone!
DUSTIN: I knew I needed some backup, so I called a friend of my family...RONNIE GARVIN!!! KW and Blackjack have shown me that they will stoop to any level to get what they want! Well, I have a guy on my side who knows every trick in the book!
GARVIN: Hey, I wrote the book, Dustin! Blackjack, you’ve poisoned your boy’s mind and you’ve made him an even bigger jerk than you are! I never did like you, Mulligan! When Dustin called me and said he wanted to even the odds, I jumped at the chance to be here! This young man can fight his own battles, but he should only have to fight ‘em one at a time! Dustin, from now on, I’ll be watching your back and I won’t let ya down!
DUISTIN: Blackjack, Kendall, watch this!
DUSTIN RHODES & KENDALL WINDHAM VS. GARY ROYAL & JOEL DEATON: Royal and Deaton are capable grapplers, but they are overmatched tonight! Dustin gets the duke as he pins Deaton after a bulldog. When Royal tries to interfere, Garvin flattens him with a right hand!
VTR:
Scotty the Body, wearing his World Junior Heavyweight belt stands beside Al Perez & Baby Doll in a blackened studio….
SCOTTY: Tonight, in the main event, your World Junior Heavyweight Champion is gonna give that jerk from England, Chris Adams one more wrestling lesson!
PEREZ: Tito, I beat you up in Seattle and tonight, I’m gonna do it again!
BABY DOLL: Just look at these two studs, people!
Scotty and Al flex!
VTR:
Chris Adams and Tito Santana stand in the Crow’s Nest…
ADAMS: Scotty the Body, everybody saw how you cheated me out of my title!
TITO: And they all saw Al Perez get another cheap win!
CHRIS: We’ve had enough!
TITO: Al, Baby Doll, I told you about paybacks! It starts tonight!
CHRIS AND TITO : (together) ARRIBA!

Baby Doll leads the team of her man, Al Perez, and Scotty the Body to the ring! Scotty, the new Junior Heavyweight Champ is dancing and taunting the crowd while baby Doll masages Perez’s shoulders. The music changes…
Two of the UWA’s most popular wrestlers arrive to a hero’s welcome!
TITO SANTANA & GENTLEMAN CHRIS ADAMS VS. SCOTTY THE BODY &”LATIN HEARTTHROB” AL PEREZ(W/BABY DOLL): This match is non-stop action! After both teams score several near falls, Tito gets the win for his team as he pins Scotty after a flying forearm! This seems to disgust Perez and Baby Doll and they walk away, lexing Scotty laid out in the ring!
BONI: A disappointing loss here this week for Al Perez…
PEREZ: NO! My shoulders weren’t pinned! I’m done with losing! In Seattle the other night, I beat Santana all over that arena! If I get my hands on him again, it will be same song, second verse! A little bit louder and a little bit worse! From here on out, there’s no more losing for the Latin Heartthrob! Look at this talent I’m surrounded with…..
SOULTAKER!
BAD NEWS BROWN!
LETHAL LARRY CAMERON!
I just filed the trademark, Boni! You can call us BADNESS UNLIMITED!!! Tito, next time, I’ll have one of these guys as my partner! Do you even have any friends left? This is the future of the UWA! Ain’t nobody can stop us, baby!
BABY DOLL: That’s right!
