LANCE: We have a match on it’s way to the ring, we better get to it!
Hollywood John Tatum, Johnny Mantell, and Gary Royal are entering the ring. Then, the music plays…
The Boogie Woogie Man and two of his pals make their way to the ring!The fans seem glad to see the faces this week!
“BOOGIE WOOGIE MAN” JIMMY VALIANT, STEVE KEIRN, & SCOTT PUTSKI VS. HOLLYWOOD JOHN TATUM, “GORGEOUS GARY ROYAL, & JOHNNY MANTELL: The heels are no slouches and hold their own for awhile, but Putski flattens Royal with the Polish hammer to get the duke for his team!
BONI: I’m here with the infamous Blackjack Mulligan and his stable of wrestlers: his son, Kendall Windham, and the Destruction Crew. You men are scheduled for an 8 man tag team match in our next segment, but you seemed to have a rough time last week…
MULLIGAN: The problem was the same as it always is: that no account Dustin Rhodes! My boy made a mistake in judgment and tried to tag team with that punk and I’ve had nothin but trouble ever since! Kendall, we had a game plan and you didn’t hold up yore ened, son! You gotta do better! Do you understand me, KW?
KENDALL: I just want to point out the fact that I’m the only man standing here that won a match last week….
ENOS: What’s that supposed to mean?
BLOOM: Yeah! Only reason we lost was because the stupid Texan Dustin Rhodes hit me with a chair!
MULLIGAN: Boys, leave the talkin and the thinkin to me and everything will be alright! We got a match coming up and we’re all gonna be singing from the same sheet of music and it will be a sweeter tune than even Jessi Colter could sing!
BONI: We’ll find out next!

THE DESTRUCTION CREW, KENDALL WINDHAM, & BLACKJACK MULLIGAN VS. CALYPSO JIM, BRAZO DE ORO, BRAZO DE PLATA, & BILLY TRAVIS: A fairly competitive match until the heels isolate Travis. Billy Joe sells like they are kaiju and he’s a Japanese army unit! After Travis is battered from pillar to post, Mulligan locks in the claw to get the pinfall for his team. The commentary team admits the Mulligan group looks awesome.
BONI: I’m standing by with Gentleman Chris Adams. Chris, we are less than a week away from your rematch for the World Junior Heavyweight Title rematch with champion Scotty the Body. Tonight, your opponent is the Zodiac. What do you know about Zodiac?
ADAMS: I know he wears a mask, he’s from Europe, and he’s ranked #12 in the world. I also know that I’m ready for you, Scotty the Body! I’ve wrestled in Texas Stadium before and it’s like a home away from home for me! There’s no better place on earth for me to regain that World Junior Heavyweight Title! I want my belt back! Last week, my friend Kerry Von Erich outclassed you and I plan on doing the same thing, Scotty! With all of you great UWA wrestling fans behind me, I know that I can do it!
BONI: Chris Adams vs. Zodiac next on UWA FURY!
COMMERCIAL
As the masked Zodiac stands in the ring, the Gentleman from England makes his entrance!
GENTLEMAN CHRIS ADAMS VS. THE ZODIAC: This is a solid junior heavyweight bout. The Zodiac impresses, but Adams pins him with a backslide. Scotty had better have his A game at Texas Stadium, because the Brit looks sharp.
BONI: I’m here with “The Ace” Bob Orton. You defeated Kevin Von Erich for your UWA TV Title, but tonight, he gets his rematch!
ORTON: Of course, he gets his rematch, sweetheart! I’m no closet champion and I don’t back down from anybody! The Organization is the hottest thing going and by this time next week, we’ll have all the titles!
BONI: I haven’t gotten a straight answer to this question: What happens if Rotunda retains the Undisputed World Title and you win Battle Bowl and get the title match with him?
ORTON: That’s easy! Sweetheart, you and all these ham and eggers will see the greatest scientific match in the history of the world! After seeing cheaters like the Von Erichs and Tito Santana, it should be a breath of fresh air! Before Battle Bowl, I’m gonna beat up Von Erich one more time! Right here on the TNT network for all the world to see!
BONI: That should be a great match and it’s coming up later tonight on UWA FURY!

Sir Oliver Humperdink leads Mukhan Singh to the ring. The fans do not give these two a warm welcome…
The music brings out Scott Hall! Hall turned down a spot in the House of Humperdink and they have been trying (and failing) to put him out of wrestling ever since!
SCOTT HALL VS. MUKHAN SINGH(W/SIR OLIVER HUMPERDINK): SOH interferes constantly this week. In the end, his interference backfires, leading to Hall hitting a vicious clothesline and pinning Singh! Les says Hall might be a favorite to win Battle Bowl!

PERSONALITY PROFILE
VTR:
LES: (as Les speaks, corresponding footage or still photos are shown) Ron Garvin has spent the last 20 years or so, building a reputation as one of the toughest men in the sport of professional wrestling. While Ronnie was born and raised in Montreal, his rugged style seems perfectly suited for the United States. Ronnie competed in ice hockey and amateur wrestling as a youngster. He was trained for professional wrestling by the legendary Pat Patterson. Ronnie currently resides in Knoxville, a town where he made his name as a wrestler. He is best known for never backing down from a fight. Even against such individuals as Ox Baker, Jos LeDuc, Randy Savage, Jake Roberts, or Ric Flair. He even went toe to toe with men who dwarfed his 5’10, 235 pound frame. Men like the Mongolian Stomper, King Kong Bundy, and Andre the Giant! Garvin has many ways to win a match, but his right handed punch is the envy of most heavyweight boxing champions. I have been around a lot of tough guys in my time, but Ron Garvin takes a back seat to nobody!
Garvin and Les are standing by in front of the UWA logo.
LES: Ronnie, you came here to help young Dustin Rhodes, but you certainly aren’t neglecting your own career. You are entered in the upcoming Lethal Lottery for a chance to compete in Battle Bowl. What are your thoughts on that event?
GARVIN: Well, it’s kinda crazy! You get a partner drawn out of a hat. It could be a friend like Dustin or the Boogie Woogie Man or maybe an enemy like Ivan Koloff! If you win the tag match, it means you’re in a battle royal, the most dangerous kind of match possible! It’s outta the frying pan and into the fire! You’ve known me for 15-20 years, Les. You know the wilder and crazier, the better for Ron Garvin! This is right up my alley! And the title belt and the 100 grand sounds good, too!
LES: Ronnie, I wish you the best at Texas Stadium this coming Friday night and I encourage all of our fans to order the pay per view ASAP!
COMMERCIAL
KABUKI (W/HIRO MATSUDA) VS. WENDELL COOLEY: Kabuki has Jumbo Tsuruta on his trail after he injured Jumbo’s eye with his green mist. Cooley goes on the offensive and scores several near falls. In fact, it looks like Wendell has win after hitting a superkick, but Matsuda reaches in and puts his man’s foot on the bottom rope. Not long after that, Kabuki hits a karate thrust to Cooley’s throat and gets the pin soon afterwards. Magnum says Wrestle Kingdom is a deadly force when they work together.
COMMERCIAL
BONI: I’m here with Tito Santana. Tito, your feud with Al Perez is very personal and explosive. Tonight, you face a member of the group Perez calls Badness Unlimited, Bad News Brown. I’m sure that Perez has Bad News motivated to put you out!
TITO: Boni, now that I’m entered in Battle Bowl, the easy thing would be to only take easy matches and be fresh for the Lethal Lottery! Tito Santana has never taken the easy way out! Perez, I know you want me out of commission! Bad News Brown is a dangerous man! There’s no doubt about it! You and Baby Doll have surrounded yourselves with bad dudes! Soultaker! Larry Cameron! Bad News! Who knows who else you have waiting in the wings? That doesn’t worry me! I’ll fight anybody you throw at me! Like you said, Boni, this is personal! I’ll take on anybody who has the guts to crawl into that squared circle! Bring it on! ARRIBA!
TITO SANTANA VS. BAD NEWS BROWN: The announce team claims this is a “main event anywhere in the world” and these two fight like their lives are on the line. After several minutes of back and forth action, Tito hits the flying forearm and covers Brown! One...two...AL Perez hits the ring and attacks Tito! Santana starts fighting back! Larry Cameron and Soultaker jump in and beat on Santana! Perez and Brown recover and join in! Baby Doll is on the apron, cheering Badness Unlimited on! It looks bad for Santana! A chair flies into the ring, followed by a trash can! Jimmy Valiant and Ron Garvin have arrived! Perez and his gang get outta Dodge! Valiant and Garvin help Tito to his feet and the faces stand tall!
COMMERCIAL
The fans stand and give Kevin Von Erich a hero’s welcome! Kevin leaps over the top rope into the ring.
Flanked by “Megabucks” Michael Rotunda and Missy Hyatt, the TV Champion saunters into the arena. He climbs onto the apron and engages the challenger in a staredown.
UWA TV TITLE MATCH: “THE ACE” BOB ORTON© VS. KEVIN VON ERICH: Rotunda and Missy leave ringside after Lowrance makes the intros. Kevin goes on the offensive right away and Orton attempts to hold him off. Von Erich gets several near falls throughout the match. Orton frustrates Kevin and the fans by getting on his bicycle and bailing out whenever it looks like he is in trouble. He can run, but he can’t hide and the crowd goes wild when Kev applies the iron claw in the center of the ring! Von Erich brings the TV Champion to his knees, then to his back! Kevin has him beat! Referee David Manning gets in position...One...Two...THRE…..THE BELL RINGS! Kevin leaps into the air! Kevin leaves the ring and grabs the TV Title belt!
LOWRANCE: Ladies and gentlemen, the ten minute TV time limit has expired! This match is a draw! Bob Orton retains the title!
Orton is still lying on his back! Kevin re-enters the ring and drops the belt onto the fallen champion! The crowd is disappointed, but Kevin gets a standing ovation as he leaves…

LANCE: Before our next match, let’s get some words from the participants!
VTR: Michael Rotunda, Misy Hyatt, Magnificent Muraco, and Rick Martel are riding in the back seat of a limo. They are dressed in stylish clothes.
ROTUNDA: We were asked to make comments about our match tonight, so we allowed the UWA’s camera the opportunity to see us in our natural element. Riding in style in a Rolls Royce! Pure class! Don’t drool on the floor, cameraman, please! It seems that somebody in the UWA, probably that hick Bill Watts, though it would be a good idea to stick the three of us in a match where we would take on our opponents from the upcoming card at Texas Stadium! Last week, Scotty the Body(that guy has potential!) made an excellent prediction when he said I would give Kerry a wrestling lesson in our match! I think the same could be said for Don and Rick’s tag team title match with the Fantastics. Tonight should be a preview of coming attractions. I think we can slap these three around a bit, perhaps rub their noses in the mat!
MURACO: That sounds good to me!
MARTEL: Especially if the Fantastics wear their silly Chippendales outfits!
MISSY: Those things are gross! Ewww!
ROTUNDA: This is class! The fans will see the difference between greatness and low rent and low budget in the ring tonight!
LANCE: Boni is standing by with their opponents…
BONI: I’m here with Kerry Von Erich and the Fantastics!
KERRY: Cocky, aren’t they? I’m shaking my head over those comments! They keep saying they are gonna walk out of Texas Stadium with all the belts? They just about lost the TV Title here tonight! If my big brother had two more seconds, he would have taken Bob Orton’s belt!
BOBBY: Wipe our noses in the mat? That’s a good one! Kevin wiped the floor with ol’ Ace Orton! We plan on picking up where he left off! We ain’t worried, boys!
TOMMY: My nose has never been rubbed in a mat and it’s not gonna happen tonight, boys! And we don’t care about what Missy thinks about the way we dress! Our fans, the people who matter like it! That’s whose opinion matters!
KERRY: You guys strut on in here and we’ll get it on! You can have your stupid limo! We don’t need a fancy car or anything you call high class! We have our fans and they have more class than you jerks will ever have!
BONI: That match is next!

Missy Hyatt leads the Undisputed World Champion and the next challengers for the UWA World Tag Team Title to the ring as the fans boo loudly!
The music changes as does the crowd reaction as “The Modern Day Warrior” and the World Tag Team Champions enter the arena to a massive pop!
“MEGABUCKS” MICHAEL ROTUNDA, MAGNIFICENT MURACO, & RICK MARTEL (W/MISSY HYATT) VS. “MODERN DAY WARRIOR” KERRY VON ERICH & THE FANTASTICS: This is what could be called a “dream match” and the crowd is really hot for it!The faces start off hot, but Bobby Fulton misses a dropkick on Rotunda and the Organization takes over! Fulton is isolated and takes a real beating before he can finally make a hot tag to Tommy Rogers! Before long, all six men are brawling in the ring! The fight spills outside the ring and referee Scott LeDoux calls for the bell! No contest! On the floor, Kerry applies the Iron Claw on Rotunda! Missy is screaming bloody murder! Finally, the entire officiating crew, Bill Watts, and several wrestlers manage to restore order! If Battle Bowl is anything like this, Lance says it will be one of the greatest wrestling spectaulars EVER!
