TAPED 3/22/93 AT RAPIDES PARISH COLISEUM, ALEXANDRIA, LA

ANNOUNCERS: BOB CAUDLE WITH BILL WATTS AND CHRIS CRUISE
PROMOTER/PRESIDENT: BILL WATTS
RING ANNOUNCER: TONY GILLIAM
REFEREES: BILL ALFONSO AND MIKE CHIODA

Bob: “Welcome back to Mid-South Wrestling fans, I’m Bob Caudle and it is my pleasure to once again be joined by the heart and soul of the Mid-South, Bill Watts!

Bill: “Thank you for that Bob and what a big card of wrestling we have this week, as a matter of fact I would like to think today’s hour of action would sell out any arena in the world, but you get it all for free, fans! Gary Albright challenges Stan Hansen, and if Albright comes out all roses, he and Butch Reed challenge Hansen and Dan Severn at the Revival, 5/21 in Jackson, MS! From there what I anticipate will be a wild match as Terry Funk wrestles Kamala, and then in a huge main event, its Booker T + Ron Simmons v UWF World Champ Steve Austin and The Mighty Yankee!

“Now, heh heh, as the old joke goes ‘I don’t even remember what I had for breakfast this morning’ and trust you me Bob Caudle I ran Mid-South Wrestling for a decade and thought I had every detail down to the wire, but 1993 finds me a little older and with all the amazing action taking place between all these incredible athletes, sometimes the details still run away from me and I was recently reminded BY:

.

.

.

.

.

" . . . and I will give you three guesses as to who and the first two don’t count . . . but it was a 5’3” WIMP with a beard and glasses . . . yes, Downtown Bruno . . . that I said if Mighty Yankee beats Johnny Smith, as he did, last week, he gets a rematch against Booker T at The Revival, so true to my word I am here to announce that match will take place! They also face each other in today’s tag team match, and while I am sure most fans will be paying attention to see if Ron Simmons can get the better of the world champion Steve Austin this will be an important opportunity for both Booker T and Mighty Yankee to scout each other for their rematch. In addition, a rematch between T and Yankee in Jackson will be a high stakes one for both men: Steve Austin, his own words, said Booker T has to work his way into the Top 10 to get a title rematch and I would say a win over Yankee would do a lot to make that happen; an embarrassed Yankee would gain a lot of payback with a win over Booker T and maybe put himself in the world title picture, with that big win at The Revival!

Bob: “Fans, you just heard it from the ALWAYS accountable Bill Watts, by the end of this week’s program we will now TWO matches booked for The Revival in Jackson 5/21, let’s get to the ring!

Chris Cruise is at ringside live with BOOKER T AND RON SIMMONS and asks them their thoughts moments before their tag team showdown with Steve Austin and Mighty Yankee!

Booker T: “Mr. Cruise I am GLAD that  Downtown Bruno reminded Bill Watts that we now have a rematch at The Revival, he did me a favor because Downtown Bruno when I beat Mighty Yankee in Jackson, it will be my next step towards a World title rematch against STEVE AUSTIN! But today my focus is helping my mentor, my idol Ron Simmons beat both Yankee and Steve Austin in today’s tag team match!

Ron: “I said it once I’ll say it again, man: Steve Austin you are a yellow belly! First, you refuse this kid a rematch for the world title after he took you to the limit. Then you said you’d take on me? Then you even rescinded on THAT! Steve Austin Ima gonna beat on you SOOOOO bad today that the UWF championship committee will have no choice but to give the title shot to ME in Jackson, and then Booker, after I beat Austin at Revival I have something to prove to you son in a rematch, and it will be for the UWF World Championship between US!

Booker T: "Ron Simmons, I cant think of a bigger honor, thank you for saying that!

Chris: “I see Gary Albright is in the ring with Butch Reed!

GARY ALBRIGHT w/Butch Reed v STAN HANSEN w/Dan Severn + The Natural
Both men circle each other carefully, and they lock up, Hansen shoves Albright into the corner what a show of power by the Lariat! They lock up again, ALBRIGHT SHOVES STAN on the balls of his ass to the mat! Hansen is not happy and rolls out of the ring where Dan Severn whispers in his ear and back in goes Hansen who goes for an early lariat but misses, turns around and Albright pushes Hansen into the corner and starts WAILING ON THE BIG MAN, Hansen turns the tables, throws Albright into the corner and starts pounding on him, but look at this Albright hammers Hansen and has the Bad Man from Borger staggering backwards with his fists up, ALBRIGHT TACKLES HIM TO THE MAT, gets behind him and tries to lock the hands around Hansen’s waist . . . HE LOCKS THEM IN AND THEY STAND UP! Albright trying to set up Hansen for a suplex, NO, THE NATURAL GRABS HANSEN’S FOOT, PUTS IT THROUGH THE ROPES, and the ref orders the hold broken, and look at this, HANSEN POINTS TO HIS BOOT, AND yells at the Natural, who pleads his case!

Albright shoots in but the ref stops as Hansen steps through the ropes, steps in and CHEAP SHOT AT ALBRIGHT'S LEG, and Hansen wails on Albright the ref tries to stop it Hansen threatens the ref, and puts a version of the cobra hold on Albright, but Albright staggers to his feet, and reverses it and suplexes Hansen! Hansen staggers up and here comes Albright with another tackle:

HANSEN GRABS ALBRIGHTS SINGLET AND THROWS HIM THROUGH THE ROPES, AND THEY TUMBLE OUT OF THE RING TOGETHER AND ARE ON THE FLOOR! Natural and Severn menace Albright but Butch Reed stops them. Both men stand as the ref starts his count and they brawl, and as the ref tries to urge all the ringside participants to back up Hansen gets a FOUL on Albright! Hansen throws him in the ring and sets up: Albright staggers up . . .

LARIAT! But Albright does not go down! What size! This is amazing, and this time Hansen bounces off the ropes: LARIAT! Albright staggers back to the ropes, he is dizzy! A third time:
.
.
.
HERE COMES HANSEN!

What is this? THE NATURAL GETS UP AND PUTS ARMS AROUND ALBRIGHT'S HEAD, trying to hold him stationary, ALBRIGHT, FIGHTING BACK, TURNS AND MOVES UP THE RING AND SHAKES OFF NATURAL, WHO FALLS ON HIS BACK TO THE FLOOR!

THIS CAUSES HANSEN TO MISS AND FLY THROUGH THE ROPES TO THE FLOOR AND IS KNOCKED SENSELESS! Severn comes over and encourage Hansen to get up, and give him credit, Hansen is tougher than a 3 dollar steak and makes it to the ring, Albright brushes the ref aside and pulls him up by his hair, and SUPLEXES HANSEN AND COVERS:

WINNER: GARY ALBRIGHT, 8:08

Severn comes into the ring the check on his tag team partner, and here comes the Natural, off the floor into the ring.

Bob: “After that kerfuffle, if I was The Natural, I’d head out of town!

As The Natural checks on Hansen too, but look at this HANSEN throws both men’s hands away, stands up and GRABS THE NATURAL AND SHAKES HIM! Severn tries to pull Hansen off their manager, and now, HANSEN PUSHES SEVERN OFF, AND THEY ARE BELLY TO BELLY, NOSE TO NOSE AS THE NATURAL TRIES TO STEP IN, HANSEN PUSHES HIM DOWN, grabs his hair and yells and points a finger at him, and WALKS OFF, TO THE BACK ALONE! FANS, Stan Hansen is NOT HAPPY WITH HIS MANAGER, and even had a few cross words with his tag team partner! The Revival should be very, very interesting!
