The Barbarian is in the ring with Sheik Adnan Al-Kaissey and Tod Gordon as the fans await the ring entrance of Booker T.

Booker T’s music finally plays . . . . . but there’s no Booker T! Fans we apologize for these technical difficulties . . .
.
.
.

Bob: “Fans I just got word there has been an incident in the arena, lets go to the dressing room area where Chris Cruise is right now!

Chris is on camera as medics attend to Booker T who is on the ground writhing in pain, holding his ribs!

Chris: “Bob it appears there has been an attack on Booker T, now I’m being told two individuals ran away right after Booker was found in this state in this direction lets see, they were seen exiting this garage door that is open, stick with me to see if we can find anything . . .
.
.
.
.
.
.

The camera follows Chris outside the garage, where we see DOWNTOWN BRUNO get into the driver’s seat of a car, and Might Yankee . . . .WITH A BASEBALL BAT . . . HUDDLES INTO THE PASSENGERS SEAT . . . Yankee sees Chris and the camera crew and yells “DRIVE! DRIVE! DRIVE!”

THE CAR SPEEDS AWAY!
.
.
.
.
.
.
The camera pans to the ring, where Kaissey and Gordon escort their man Barbarian out of the ring, there will be no match today!

Bill: “THIS IS BULL, Bob Caudle, complete BULL, ITS CLEAR THAT Mighty Yankee has assaulted the very popular Booker T in the dressing room area with a baseball bat, and as far as I am concerned, Downtown Bruno, KEEP DRIVING, because you just earned your man a SUSPENSION!

Bob: “Meanwhile, in the ring, and fans, we sincerely apologize I was looking forward to the Barbarian-Booker T match as much as all of you were, we see Jack Victory entering the ring, and it looks like we will see a standby match, usually things are more professional than this on Mid-South Wrestling, but we have been forced into unforeseen circumstances . . . .

Here comes . . . . ROB VAN DAM with TOM ZENK! It looks like we have a standby match in all this chaos!
.

ROB VAN DAM w/Tom Zenk def. JACK VICTORY, 7:26 IN A VERY competitive match!

Bob: “WOW! I wasn’t expecting THAT, but fans we are re-connecting with Chris Cruise, let's go to a break and find out if there is any more information on the condition of Booker T!

Chris Cruise is in the parking lot behind the arena as an ambulance is driving away.

Chris: “Bob and Bill, the GOOD NEWS is Booker T was able to walk under his own power to that ambulance you see driving away. The BAD NEWS is he was having trouble breathing, and was favoring his ribs the whole way. All signs point to Mighty Yankee taking a baseball bat to his ribs in what might be the most insidious attack we have seen so far in Mid-South Wrestling, gentlemen back to you!
.
.
.
.
.
Bill: “That Mighty Yankee is a COWARD and a BUM and Downtown Bruno is a little wimp and like I said he is suspended as far as I am concerned, and I don’t know for how long yet!
