VTR from The Legacy: The fans clap and cheer for Booker T as he makes near escape after near escape only to get trapped by Austin each time. But Austin goes too far with a high risk axehandle off the top rope and Booker T hits him in the gut and now Booker T is in charge! Booker T gets a near fall, and it looks like he has Austin on the back foot until he covers Austin

Bill: “Thank you for that Bob and what a big card of wrestling we have this week, I’m excited to see that Booker T will wrestle Damian Demento, speaking of T The Mighty Yankee is demanding a rematch from The Legacy against him, and also in the mind of Booker T, UWF WORLD CHAMPION STUNNING STEVE AUSTIN will be in action, as well as Gary Albright and Butch Reed who want a world tag team title rematch against the team that will wrestle Erik Watts and Tommy Jammer in the ring now!

Chris Cruise comes to ringside as The Natural and his World Champions organize.
Chris Cruise: “The Natural, you are on top of the world with this impressive tag team, Stan Hansen and Dan Severn the Mid-South Tag Team champions, I have to say, I am quite impressed.
Natural: “Well, you know something, I have heard that Gary Albright and Butch Reed keep complaining about not winning the tag team championships at The Legacy, well let me tell YOU, gentlemen if you want a match against MY tag team . . . . .
Stan: “WHY DON’T YOU SHUT UP, Skinny? Crispy Cruiser, this punk isn’t on top of the world, ME AND DAN SEVERN ARE, we did all the work in the ring we earned the tag team titles! And as far as me and Severn are concerned: THERE AIN’T GONNA BE NO REMATCH!
Stan is red-assed: “WHAT? Well is THAT SO? HEY PRETTY, WHY DID YOU NOT TELL STAN HANSEN ABOUT THIS!
HANSEN GRABS THE NATURAL BY THE LAPELS!
Natural, who is gasping for air: “I . . . .tried to call you .. . . .you didn’t pick up . . . your phone .. . .
Hansen: “A typical excuse, Skinny!
Even Severn puts his hand on Hansen’s shoulder to tell him to take it easy.
Hansen: “All right Beast . . .
Hansen throws Natural down!
Hansen: “But if this stunt of yers costs me and the Beast a title, YOU WILL PAY!

BOOKER T DEF. DAMIAN DEMENTO, 4:55

Bill: “A lot of announcements right now Bob, and the first I would like to announce is next week’s main event, The UWF champion STEVE AUSTIN and MIGHTY YANKEE will wrestle ROM SIMMONS and . . . BOOKER T! I have a feeling the outcome of this tag team match will have MAJOR implications for the lineup for The Revival, May 14 in Jackson, Mississippi! And allow me to add that Steve Austin said that he will defend the UWF title against Ron Simmons if Simmons defeats the title against a wrestler of HIS choosing but that’s not what he offered at The Legacy! He offered the title shot at Ron Simmons SIGHT UNSEEN, so on behalf of the UWF World title committee, I hope for the Stunning One’s sake he accepts this very ACCEPTABLE compromise!
Booker T enters the announcers area!
Booker: “Bill Watts Steve Austin said he would give me a rematch for the UWF World title, a title I was just this close to winning at The Legacy, if I can work my way up the Top 10. There’s two ways I can do that next week, I beat Mighty Yankee in Jackson or even better YOU Steve Austin next week, but if it takes Ron Simmons to get the pinfall next week to seal the opportunity you promised him for a title match at the Revival Steve Austin, trust you me I will help him do that too, and then Mighty Yankee, I’ll beat you at the Revival and get Booker T in that UWF World Championship conversation once again!

But let me tell you something about savage animals. As you know Crispy Cruiser I was born and raised on the Double Cross Ranch in Amarillo Texas and on that ranch, we had cattle. And with cattle you had male bulls. Now most of them you could tame and they were easy to deal with but every once in a while you had that one wild brahma bull, one that could not be trained, could not be tamed, hell, you could not even get this SOB sold to the rodeo, and as a last resort, we would call the top Mexican bull fighting promoters!
"Todd Gordon, al-Kaissey, yer Kamala is the bull and here is my red cape, I am the Matador, and the next time we meet, I am gonna SLAY YER BULL, an dthen when ah am done, I'm comin' after Barbarian, and when ah am done with him, TODD GORDON AND AL-KAISSEY, AH AM COMIN' FOR YER JEWELRY STORE!
