PERSONALITY PROFILE
Les stands in the interview area.
LES: Tonight, Personality Profile looks at a second generation wrestler, one of the young lions in our great sport, Kendall Windham! Kendall was born on December 15, 1967. he is, of course, the son of Blackjack Mulligan and the brother of Barry Windham. Kendall hails from Sweetwater, Texas. He stands 6’5 and weighs in at 240 pounds. Kendall had an extensive amateur background, playing football, basketball, and wrestling in high school. He is also a two time Golden Gloves boxing champion in Texas. After being trained by his famous dad and brother, Kendall made his debut on June 10, 1984 as he defeated Barry Horowitz in Tampa, FL. The highlight of Kendall’s career thus far was winning the UWA World Tag Team Titles as the Texas Broncos with his partner Dustin Rhodes. Although the Texas Broncos are a thing of the past and Kendall is currently at odds with his former partner, Kendall is still regarded as one of the UWA’s rising stars and a man who will lead us into the next decade and, perhaps, the 21st century! Kendall’s career is now managed by his father and they join me at this time… Kendall, Jack, a huge opportunity is coming up on May 26th at Texas Stadium. You are involved in Battle Bowl!
MULLIGAN: First of all, I need to correct you on something! The Texas Broncos was NOT the highlight of KW’s career! The highlight was when he dumped that yellow belly, nappy head Dustin and became his own man! Dustin has been a thorn in this boy’s sided long enough! A little bit later tonight, I’m gonna take care of Rhodes once and for all! The #1 highlight will be at Texas Stadium when he wins the Battle Bowl and becomes American Champion! And gets the World Title shot, which he will win! And We’ll be on top of the world!
LES: Kendall, your thoughts?
KENDALL: Well, I know things didn’t work out with the Texas Broncos, but I was a World Tag Team Champion and I’m real proud of that! I also have a big opportunity at Battle Bowl! Dad is right! This is huge and I’m gonna do whatever it takes to win this thing!
LES: In our next match, you will wrestle a different sort of opponent than you are used to: The high flying Cheetah Kid!
KENDALL: He wrestles a lot like the Mexican wrestlers. I spent a lot of time down in Eagle pass, Dad’s hometown. We were right on the border down there and we got Mexican TV channels. I watched some of their wrestling and I’ve studied that high flying style like Cheetah Kid wrestles. Don’t worry, Les, I’ll be ready for him!
LES: Well, I’ll let you get to it, Kendall! For Personality Profile, I’m Les Thatcher!
KENDALL WINDHAM (W/BLACKJACK MULLIGAN) VS. CHEETAH KID: The amasked man dazzle the fans with his aerial offense , but Kendall sidesteps a missile dropkick and the Kid lands headfirst on the mat. Kendall hits a DDT and scores an impressive win. Les admits Kendall could be a dark horse at Battle Bowl.
COMMERCIAL
BLACKJACK MULLIGAN VS. DUSTIN RHODES: The veteran Mulligan takes on his son’s former partner. Mulligan wrestles very aggressively and before long, Dustin is bleeding above his left eye! BJM dominates the action, but Dustin manages to hit a bulldog and get a 1-2-3! The Destruction Crew runs in and attacks Dustin, but they are too late! Dustin gets an impressive win here on TNT tonight! Kendall runs in after the match and checks on his father. Enos and Bloom glare at Kendall while Mulligan appears to be chewing him out! Looks like Kendall’s late arrival is being blamed for Blackjack’s loss!
AL Perez and Baby Doll lead Bad News Brown and Larry Cameron to the ring. Then, the music plays…
Two of the most popular wrestlers in the world make their entrance!
“BOOGIE WOOGIE MAN’ JIMMY VALIANT & JUNKYARD DOG VS. BAD NEWS BROWN & LETHAL LARRY CAMERON: Perez and his lady leave the arena and the brawl is on! Referee David Manning absolutely cannot control the craziness and declares a no contest in under five minutes! JYD grabs his chain and clears the ring! The faces are standing tall as we go to a break!
BONI: Let’s hear from the participants in our next match….
VTR:
Ivan Kolof, Iron Sheik, and Sir Oliver Humperdink stand in a locker room.
SOH: Look at these amazing athletes! The greatest wrestler the Middle East has ever produced, the Iron Sheik! The Russian Bear, Ivan Koloff! Sgt. Slaughter, you once were great, but pandering to the wrestling fans and waving your flag has made you soft! Scott Hall, if you had listened to me, you would have been one of the all timer greats! But you wanted to have these floozies at ringside swooning over you! These two are real men! They are not imperialist American swine! They will leave Scott Hall and Sad Sack facedown in a pool of blood! And all of the “USA” chants in the world can’t save them!
KOLOFF: Very wise words, Sir Oliver! The Iron Sheik and myself are superior athletes! Nothing can stop us! We will destroy these two Americans!
SHEIK: IRAN! NUMBER ONE! RUSSIA! NUMBER ONE! USA? HACK PHOOEY! Cameraman, zoom in on this body!(Sheik tears off his robe and flexes for the camera)
SOH: The House of Humperdink is Number One!
COMMERCIAL
Humperdink leads Sheik and Koloff to the ring! Each man carrys the falg of his native land! They enter the ring and Sheik grabs the mic from Lowrance!
SHEIK: You perople shut up with this “USA! USA!”
Here comes Sgt. Slaughter, proudly waving Old Glory! Scott Hall follows, handing out little American flags to the fans! Once in the ring, the Sarge and Humperdink’s men have a flag waving contest…
SGT. SLAUGHTER & SCOTT HALL VS. IRON SHEIK & IVAN KOLOFF(W/SIR OLIVER HUMPERDINK): Slaughter and Hall start off hot and have things going their way. Humperdink’s men use questionable tactics to gain an advantage on Slaughter and isolate him on their side of the ring for a while. It looks like America’s Hero is done for, but the “USA” chant seems to inspire him to make a diving tag to Hall! Scott comes in fist and fire! The heels try every dirty trick they can think of, but Scott hits the razor’s edge on Koloff to score the 1-2-3! The fans pop huge for this result!
COMMERCIAL
DESTRUCTION CREW (W/BLACKJACK MULLIGAN) VS. RONNIE GARVIN & “GENTLEMAN” CHRIS ADAMS: Enos and Bloom, following Mulligan’s instructions, attack the faces at the bell and never really let them recover. It looks like it will be an easy win for the Destruction Crew as they completely dominate the action! They have Garvin up for the wrecking ball and Blackjack is holding onto Adams’ ankle to prevent him from helping his partner, but a vengeful Dustin Rhodes sneaks down to ringside and bashes Wayne Bloom in the back with a steel chair! Referee Carl Fergie is distracted by the Mulligan/Adams fracas and doesn’t see any of Dustin’s actions! Wayne falls to the mat as Garvin victory rolls Mike Enos for the 1-2-3!
Blackjack is furious, but there’s really nothing he can do about it!
VTR:
Scotty the Body stands in the ring. The arena is empty.
SCOTTY: Kerry Von Erich! Mr. Modern Day Warrior! #1 Contender! Former NWA World Champion! I know what you’re probably thinking: “Yeah, he’s a world champion! But it’s only the Junior Heavyweight Title!” You need to concentrate on Michael Rotunda at Texas Stadium! Don’t worry about Michael Rotunda! He’s gonna give you a wrestling lesson, Von Erich! And if you look past me and take me for granted, I’ll give you a wrestling lesson, too! Right here in front of all of these Texas goat ropers your family loves so much! I’m Scotty the Body and I’m gonna beat up Kerry Von Erich deep in the Heart of Texas here on worldwide TV, baby!
VTR:
Kerry Von Erich is seated on a stool in the dressing room.
KERRY: I just heard Scotty the Body’s comments. Man, what a cocky kid! Don’t worry, Scotty, nobody’s gonna look past you! My Dad always told me to take every match dead serious! I’m gonna do just that here tonight! This is Texas and I have a bunch of friends in the audience! About half of the guys who were on my football team in high school are here tonight! I don’t plan on letting them down! As for Scotty the Body...(flexes muscles) Well, Scotty, I have a body, too!
COMMERCIAL
The World Junior Heavyweight Champion comes dancing down to the ring. His cocky demeanor does not win the crowd over at all…
The music changes and, with it, the demeanor of the audience! The partisan crowd blows the roof off for their hero!
SCOTTY THE BODY VS. “MODERN DAY WARRIOR” KERRY VON ERICH: Longtime fans will probably compare this to a Kerry vs. Gino Hernandez match from the past. Kerry’s high powered offense against Scotty’s sneaky heel tactics. Kerry prevails with a sunset flip from the apron, but Scotty looks like he belongs in the ring with top guys.
LANCE: A great Main Event! Kerry looks ready for Michael Rotunda and, I must admit, Scotty looks ready for Chris Adams!
LES: And we have a great card coming up next week!
MAGNUM: We’ll be in Amarillo, a great Texas wrestling town where they love hard hitting action!
