JR welcomes the fans to another episode of Smoky Mountain Wrestling. We are three weeks away from Volunteer Slam and it is looking bigger and badder every day. Today on this show however, we are going to see second generation star, Eddie Guerrero, in his debut. We are going to see the US Junior heavyweight championship defended with Brian Christopher takes on Wolfie D. “The Master” Kevin Sullivan will be here and in the main event, The Dirty White Boy will take on Four Horsemen member, Tully Blanchard. This is a huge show and JR sends us to the ring.

Eddie Guerrero def. Joey Maggs

Eddie Guerrero is heading to the announce desk when he is met by Dean Malenko. Malenko says that he understands Guerrero is here to get that US junior heavyweight title but he wants Guerrero to know that it is his title. It was his title first and it will be his title until he doesn’t want it. Guerrero doesn’t get to talk before Chris Candido comes out. HE says the belt will be his. He has been challenging the champ for weeks and nothing. Malenko and Candido keep arguing while Eddie just stands back and watches the whole thing before leaving without saying a word.

JR welcomes the fans back. He says the US Junior heavyweight title division is quickly becoming a huge deal. Brian Christopher is the champion. Second Generation wrestlers Eddie Guerrero & Dean Malenko are coming for it. Chris Candido is coming for it. But Brian Christopher has had it in his hands for a long time now and it is not looking to change hands soon. Christopher comes out with his title around his waist. He says that he was in the back and heard that all those guys want his title. He knows Eddie Gilbert is trying to get his title defended and take his spot at Volunteer Slam. Well…there aint no way Gilbert is going to do that and there aint no way those three punks are going to take his title. As a matter of fact, he wants the fans and those three to watch what Christopher does to his friend Wolfie D and think, if Christopher will do that to a friend, what will he do to the others? He heads to the ring for his match.

Christopher is on his way to the back when he is stopped by Eddie Gilbert. Gilbert says he wants to explain something. He wants to tell Christopher he doesn’t want his spot. He doesn’t care if Christopher defends his title or not. What he wants is to be a part of the movement -he- created. He is the one who was defending Tennessee from the start. As for that title belt, he doesn’t care if Christopher defends it or not. He wants Christopher to understand what it is like to be a great champion, a real champion. Not defending that belt against top contenders isn’t that. Christopher gets right in his face saying maybe he should put that belt on the line against Gilbert. Gilbert smiles and says Christopher doesn’t want that because then Christopher will be an ex champion. Now, Gilbert said what he wanted to say. He walks away smiling while Christopher is steaming mad.

We are back and JR wants Christopher to watch out for Eddie Gilbert because he is a sneaky son of a gun. Speaking of sneaky, it is time to get the “Master” in the ring. Kevin Sullivan in the ring. He has a reputation of being blood thirsty and a mess of a man. Rick Michaels has no idea what is going to happen to him as Sullivan makes his way to the ring.

Sullivan is in the ring when the Thrill Seekers rush it. They confront Sullivan who smiles as his Eliminators rush the ring as well. It becomes a 3-2 but Sullivan isn’t done. He motions to the back and out comes this guy….he looks like a caveman…



He comes in the ring and capture suplexes Storm to the outside of the ring making it a three on one as Sullivan directs traffic. Jericho is a bloody mess as he gets lifted and held up for “total elimination”. The kicking keeps going on until Tommy Dreamer, Al Snow, and Aldo Montoya come to the rescue. Sullvan drags his men out of the ring to the announce desk where he tells JR he warned those kids. He begged them and they didn’t listen. Now, they are broken and bloody. He advises them to stay out of wrestling when they get better, IF they get better. He leads his men to the back as we go to commercial.

The ring is cleared and it is time for the main event. JJ leads Tully to the ring as the fans boo very loudly. They don’t even stop on their way to the ring. But as Tully takes his robe off, Dirty White Boy comes in. JJ tells him to not worry about Tully giving him a beating but worry about what team member is going to turn against his team on May 7th because -someone- is not being truthful. He leaves the ring as the two lock up.

JJ stops with JR and says he tried to tell Dirty White Boy that his group will cost him a win, that they don’t have his best interests at heart. He leaves as we fade to DWB pushing both Jarrett and Lawler while they all argue.
