I want to announce that our next supercard will be the FIRECRACKER SPECTAULAR on July 4th, originating from the Cow Palace in San Francisco and airing here on TNT! I also want to let the fans know that the Sportatorium will be the new home for UWA FURY from here on out! This is, in my humble opinion, the best place in the world to watch a wrestling match! We have great plans for the future here in the United Wrestling Alliance and we want each and evry one of you to be part of them!

Finally, your new World Champion, “Modern Day Warrior” Kerry Von Erich! The family enters the ring to a standing ovation! Mark Lowrance hands Fritz the house mic…
FRITZ: Thank you! Thank you! I’ve always said the greatest fans in the world were right here in Dallas! I’d like to thank each and every one of you, on behalf of my family, for your support through the years! We literally couldn’t have done it without you! And now, the Undisputed Champion of the World!
KERRY: Wow! Last night was the greatest night ever! Michael Rotunda was a great champion! I’ve never had a tougher match in my life than last night at Texas Stadium! Rotunda, any time and any place that you want a rematch, I’m ready, willing, and able! I also wanna say to Dr. Death that I really didn’t attempt you sticking your nose in my business, but you do have a title match coming and whenever the UWA schedules it, we’ll get it on! Now, you’re gonna hear from my favorite wrestler, the man who has always stood by my side no matter what, my big brother, Kevin Von Erich!
KEVIN: It is great to be here in the Sportatorium! I grew up in this building! I feel naked with my little brother having a belt and me not having one! I want to challenge Bob Orton for the TV belt! I also challenge Steve Williams for the American Title! We went at it yesterday, Williams and I want another piece of you, Dr. Death! Later on here tonight, Kerry and myself will wretle a bigmouth Iranian and a cheating slob from Pakistan! Right here on UWA FURY, we’ve got the Iron Sheik and Mukhan Singh!
KERRY: Y’know what? Muraco and Martel are World Tag Team Champions and I think those belts would look good on us, too!
FRITZ: Now, boys, don’t get carried away! You can’t win ‘em all! On second thought, why can’t you win’em all?
KERRY: I say let’s go for it!
LOWRANCE: Ladies and gentlemen, the Von Erichs!

AMERICAN TITLE MATCH: STEVE “DR. DEATH” WILLIAMS © VS. WENDELL COOLEY: One day after winning his title, Dr. Death puts it on the line against a rising star in our sport. Cooley uses his superior mobility to keep the champion off balance, but after almost 10 minutes of hard fought competition, Williams hits the Oklahoma Stampede to retain his title! Then, he heads to the interview area…
BONI: I’m joined by Battle Bowl winner and new American Champio, Steve “Dr. Death” Williams! Congratulations, Steve!
STEVE: Thanks, but the man I need to see is my good ol’ buddy, Cowboy Bill Watts! I earned a championship match with the Modern Day Warrior and I want to know where and when! It really doesn’t matter! It can be in LA or Dallas or Tulsa or Denver or Las Vegas or New York City or Chicago or St. Louis! But I have a right to know!
The UWA President arrives!
WATTS: Look, Doc, the board is meeting this week to discuss that! Right here, next week, on UWA FURY, I’ll have an answer for you! Try to have a little bit of patience, big fella!
WILLIAMS: OK, tell ya what, while I’m waiting, I’ll spend some of the 100 grand that I won at BATTLE BOWL!
BONI: sounds like a good plan! We’ll be right back!

Sir Oliver Humperdink leads the Iron Sheik and Mukhan Singh to the ring. They enter and the Sheik waves his Iranian flag as the Sportatorium crowd either boos or chants “USA”!
The crowd pops in a big way for Kerry & Kevin Von Erich!!!
KERRY & KEVIN VON ERICH VS. MUKHAN SINGH & THE IRON SHEIK (W/SIR OLIVER HUMPERDINK): The new World Champion and his older brother have a fight on their hands tonight! Kevin, particular takes quite a pounding as the heels trap him on their side of the ring and work him over. The Von Erichs hold on for the win as Kerry applies the claw on Singh and pins him to the mat!
COMMERCIAL
MAGNIFICENT MURACO & RICK MARTEL (W/MISSY HYATT) VS. MITCH SNOW & RON RITCHIE: The new World Tag Team Champions compete in a non-title bout. The champions dominate against two capable individuals and Martel puts Snow away with a Boston Crab.
BONI: I’m joined by the former UWA World Tag Team Champions, the Fantastics. Tommy Rogers, as you can see, is still wearing the neck brace. Can we get an update on your condition, Tommy?
TOMMY: Well, the injury came in a match with the Destruction Crew on the night before Texas Stadium. The doc advised me to step down and not wrestle against Martel and Muraco, but I couldn’t let my partner and my fans down that way! I was reinjured in the match where we dropped the titles. Doctor’s orders are to stay out of the ring for 3-6 weeks. This time, Bobby and me have decided that I’d better listen!
BOBBY: That’s right! You won’t be seeing Fantastics in action for a little while, but, make no mistake, we will be back! Muraco and Martel, we want our belts back and we’ll get’em back! Destruction Crew, we’re not gonna let you boys get by with hurting Tommy!
TOMMY: I promise each and every one of the nice people watching on TNT right now, that you ain’t seen the last of Tommy Rogers and Bobby Fulton! The Fantastics will be back, better than ever!
BOBBY: Count on it!
BONI: Encouraging words from Bobby & Tommy, the Fantastics!

THE GREAT KOKINA (W/SIR OLIVER HUMPERDINK) VS. ALEX G, BUCK ZUMHOFE, & MIKE JACKSON: Kokina was very, very impressive at BATTLE BOWL as he eliminated four competitors from the match. Here, he steamrolls over three capable performers as SOH cheers him on from ringside! Kokina puts Zumhofe away after a senton. The announce team all agree that this man is a force to be reckoned with!
BONI: In our next match, three members of the Organization will face some tough competition. It will be my guests at this time, former Undisputed World Champion “Megabucks” Michael Rotunda, UWA TV Champion “The Ace” Bob Orton, & UWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion Scotty the Body, accompanied by the “First Lady of Professional Wrestling”, Missy Hyatt taking on “Gentleman Chris Adams, Tito Santana, & the Junkyard Dog! Michael Rotunda, you are the only member of your team without a title!
MISSY: Show some respect if you know what’s good for you, little girl!
ROTUNDA: It’s ok, Missy! In our hearts, we know who the real World Champion is! Everybody saw Kerry Von Erich’s idiot brother and brain dead cousin attack Dr. Death and Missy for no reason! It was assault, plain and simple! Those Von Erichs should be locked up! Then, that punc drunk pug Scott LeDoux counted my shoulders down when my foot was clearly under the bottom rope! I was robbed! Don’t worry, sooner of later, The Modern Day Cheater has to give Dr. Death his title match and also, I deserve a rematch! Tonight, We got Chris Adams…
SCOTTY: I’ve wiped the floor with him a bunch of times!
ROTUNDA: Tito Santana, a man I’ve already proven to be better than! Then there’s Junkfood Dog. None of us dressed in red because we didn’t want to be mistaken for fire hydrants! This is going to be a wrestling lesson, pure and simple!
ORTON: Nobody does it better than the Organization! We have the World Tag Title, World Junior Heavyweight Champion, American Title, and yours truly, the TV Champion! We’re gonna show you people how it’s done!
BONI: That’s coming up next!

“MEGABUCKS” MICHAEL ROTUNDA, SCOTTY THE BODY, & “THE ACE” BOB ORTON (W/MISSY HYATT) VS. TITO SANTANA, JUNKYARD DOG, & “GENTLEMAN” CHRIS ADAMS: The faces dominate most of the match and the heels sell like they are fighting the 82nd Airborne! Missy Hyatt proves to be the difference maker as she distracts referee Tommy Gilbert. This allows Scotty to grab his title belt and nail Adams in the back of the head with it! Rotunda takes advantage of this chicanery by executing the airplane spin on Adams and scoring the pin! The Organization steals one!
LANCE: I give the Organization credit, you’ll never find a more talented group, but it’s dirty tricks like this that make it hard to respect them and just generally hack the wrestling fans off!
LES: Very true, Lance, but let’s finish off on a more positive note. Watch this, wrestling fans…
