SOH: Boni Blackstone, I feel we are being disrespected in the UWA! The people around here will learn to fear and respect the House of Humperdink! Why weren’t we included in the tag team tournament? Why isn’t one of my men getting the championship match on July 4th? Tonight, you will see dominance and devastation! My team of the Russuain and the Iranioan will steamroll our opponents! I’m offering a $10,000.00 prize to any human being in this building to any human being who can slam the Great Kokina! Will any of the so called UWA superstars accept that challenge?

SOH: NEXT!
Another wrestler enters the ring!
SOH: Who are you?
WRESTLER #2: My name is Jeff Sword and I want a shot at the money!
SOH: Have at it, big boy!
Sword gives it his best, but doesn’t get the job done!
SOH: OK, this is pathetic! Where are the Jimmy Valiants? The Junkyard Dogs? The Scott Halls? My man needs a challenge? C’mon, how about it?
A big guy in blue jeans, cowboy boots, and a cowboy hat enters the ring! HE takes off his hat and puts it on the ring post.

BONI: Welcome back to UWA FURY! I am here with Jumbo Tsuruta and his interpreter. I see the eye patch is gone. I assume that means that you have fully recovered from the injury at the hands of Kabuki?
JUMBO (through interpreter): Yes, my doctor has cleared me to wrestle without the patch. Starting tonight, I want the Great Kabuki and the rest of Wrestle Kingdom to know that I am seeking revenge for what you did to me! Tonight, I will have my friends, Jimmy Snuka and Chris Adams for my partners against three members of Wrestle Kingdom! On July 4th at the Firecracker Spectacular, I will wrestle Kabuki one on one and he will have to answer for his actions!
BONI: We keep hearing about Misawa coming to the UWA. Do you expect him to be on your side against Wrestle Kingdom?
JUMBO: He is a great wrestler! He can make his own decisions. I would be honored to have him on my side! Regardless, I am targeting Wrestle Kingdom and my goal is to eliminate them from the UWA!
Thank you, Jumbo and special thanks to your interpreter!
JUMBO TSURUTA, “GENTLEMAN” CHRIS ADAMS, & SUPERFLY JIMMY SNUKA VS. THE GREAT KABUKI, MR. SAITO, & GENICHIRO TENRYU(W/HIRO MATSUDA): A hard hitting match that sees Tsuruta and Kabuki focus on destroying each other.

Al Perez and Baby Doll stand in the locker room.
PEREZ: Tito Santana, you and me have gone round and round! I’m sick and tired of you! Tonight, I’m taking you out, punk!
BABY DOLL: This is a real man right here, Tito! You aren’t even in the same league as my Latin Heartthrob! You should have stayed out of our business! After tonight, you’ll be ashamed to show your face!
PEREZ; (mockingly) Arriba!
VTR: Tito Santana stands in a darkened studio.
TITO: Al Perez, you jerk, you’ve been a thorn in my side for too long! You turned my friend Baby Doll against me! Every time I try to accomplish anything, you and those creeps you call Badness Unlimited have stuck your nose in my business! I’m ready to end it right here tonight! ARRIBA!
COMMERCIAL
AL PEREZ (W/BABY DOLL) VS. TITO SANTANA: The bad feelings between thee two explode in this grudge match! In spite of copious interference from Baby Doll, Tito seems to be getting the best of Perez. It looks like Santana will win when he hits the flying forearm! That’s when Bad News Brown and Soultaker interfere on behalf of their Badness Unlimited cohort! It’s a brutal 3 on 1 beatdown of Santana until JYD and Jimmy Valiant charge the ring! JYD has his chain while the Boogie Woogie Man bashes heads with a trash can! The heels get outta Dodge!

STEVE “DR. DEATH WILLIAMS, SCOTTY THE BODY, & “MEGABUCKS” MICHAEL ROTUNDA (W/MISSY HYATT) VS. SCOTT PUTSKI, STEVE KEIRN, & ITALIAN STALLION: The Organization is well represented in this six man tag. The faces don’t make it easy, but American Champion Dr. Death gets the duke for his team as he puts the Stallion away with the Oklahoma Stampede. Magnum admits that if Williams hits that move against Kerry Von Erich on July 4th, we’ll have a new World Champion!
COMMERCIAL
The Organization is standing by with Boni Blackstone.
BONI: I am here, surrounded by Champions! This is the group known as the Organization! “Megabucks” Michael Rotunda, you are the leader. You have to be pleased with the victory in the six man match we just saw…
ROTUNDA: It was a dominant performance, Boni! Look at this amazing collection of wrestlers! The best the world has to offer! Not to mention the most beautiful woman you’ve ever seen...the amazing Missy Hyatt! Of all the championships in the UWA, we only need one and at the FIRECRACKER SPECTACULAR, the good doctor here will rectify that! Right, Doc?
DR. DEATH: You know it, Mike! Didja see that Oklahoma Stampede, Kerry Von Erich? I have one of them just for you, Modern Day Warrior! I’m gonna put you through the mat and take your title! As soon as we finish this interview, the Ace here is gonna settle this issue with Kerry’s goofy brother, once and for all! Right, Bob?
ORTON: 20 minute time limit! You think that bothers me, Kevin Von Erich? Heck, 20 minutes is just a good warmup for me! I’ve gone an hour hundreds of times! Even 90 minutes! I had you beat last week and this week, I’ll get it done! This TV Title is gonna stay right here! Where it belongs!
BONI: Scotty the Body, you’ll defend the Junior Heavyweight Title against Mexican star El Hijo Del Santo…
SCOTTY: Hee Joe Del Stinko! That mask worries me, Boni baby! A grown man who wears a mask in public must be horribly deformed! Probably worse than the Elephant Man! What if I accidentally pull that mask off? What if TNT get millions of complaints from parents’ groups and the FCC kicks the UWA off the air? I feel a lot of pressure! As far as the wrestling part goes, no big deal! The wrestling down in Mexico is like watching gymnastics or something! This guy can do all the flip flops that he wants to, he ain’t taking my title! No way!
BONI: I don’t want to neglect the World Tag Team Champions…
MURACO: You certainly don’t, pretty lady! I see where Rhodes and Windham get the title match in San Francisco! Two Texas goat ropers who spend as much time fighting each other as they do fighting each other! Boys, Rick Martel and I are a well oiled tag team machine! You’re going to get the wrestling leson of your lives on July 4th!
MARTEL: Look at the amazing physiques that my partner and I have! Look at those skinny cowboys! Do you really think that they can beat us? The Organization is the greatest! We will have all of the belts to prove it!
ROTUNDA: have you ever seen more confidence in your life? Have you ever seen more skilled athletes in one place? The answer is “no”! Now, the UWA TV Champion is gonna wipe the mat with Kevin Von Erich! Kerry, this is your preview of coming attractions! Do it, Ace!
The Sportatorium crowd gives the eldest Von Erich brother a hero’s welcome!
The TV Champ enters with Missy Hyatt leading the way.
UWA TV TITLE: 20 MINUTE TIME LIMIT: “THE ACE” BOB ORTON (W/MISSY HYATT) VS. KEVIN VON ERICH: Von Erich, being the challenger, naturally goes on the offensive. Orton doesn’t seem to know what to do with Kevin’s high octane offense. The camera catches Steve Williams and Michael Rotunda looking on from the interview area. When Kevin locks on the Iron Claw, Missy waves frantically at Williams and Rotunda! They hit the ring and referee Scott LeDoux calls for the bell! The heels have succeeded in saving the Ace’s title! Then, they attempt to destroy Kevin Von Erich! After dishing oout a beating, Dr. Death gives Kevin an Oklahoma Stampede! Look out, here comes Kerry! Kerry decks Orton! Kerry knocks Rotunda out of the ring! Kerry nails Dr. Death with a discus punch! Williams goes down! Williams gets back up and he and Kerry stand teo to toe, slugging it out! The locker rooms empty and over a dozen men are in the ring, attempting to separate Von Erich and Williams! When these two men meet for the World Title, it will be a WAR!!!
Don’t miss UWA FURY next week here on TNT!!!
