SMW Heavyweight Championship (Brian Armstrong is outside official): “The Nature Boy” Buddy Landel *champion* Vs Brad Armstrong
“The Nature Boy” Buddy Landel comes to the ring with Jimmy Cornette. Cornette takes the mic and says he has someone who will be able to make sure that punk Brian Armstrong is kept in line. He motions to the back and out comes “Beautiful” Bobby Eaton. Cornette instructs Eaton to be in the corner of Landel to make sure Brian behaves. He leaves the ring as Brian and challenger Brad Armstrong head to the ring for the match. It starts with the lock up and Brad getting the upperhand. A well placed thumb to the eye puts Landel in charge. That doesn’t last long either as Brad hits a huge dropkick that stops Landel. Armstrong goes to wrap the champion in to the side Russian legsweep but lets the limp Landel go as he sees his little brother Brian being hit and kicked by Eaton outside of the ring. Brad leaps over the rope on to Eaton and fights him, not stopping all the way to the back. The referee counts to ten but Brad doesn’t care. The ref has no choice but to award the match to Buddy Landel.
