The Armstrongs (Scott & Steve) def. PG 13
.
The Armstrongs are celebrating when the ring is rushed by two African American wrestlers dressed as a street gang. They attack Scott & Steve and bust open both wrestlers with looks like forks. Security rushes the ring and the first two in there are attacked as well. The second two are hesitant unti more arrive. They all rush the ring as the two gangsters are removed to the back. Brian and his brother, the SMW heavyweight champion Brad Armstrong are with Jim Ross. Brad says that those two punks are going to get theirs. He says they don’t know who they are but when you attack and bust open an Armstrong, bad things are going to happen….”Bullet” Bob comes out too and says as commissioner he has a duty to protect the rosters from fans. As a father, he has the duty to protect his family and these two guys attacked both. They ran out the back door but if they are seen anywhere near the arena again, they may just get a little taste of “Bullet” Bob is and why the Armstrong family is known to be as tough as they are. The three head to the back as JR sends us to commercial break.

We are back and with JR is Bryant & Brad Anderson. Bryant says they are back in SMW for the USWA world tag team titles held by the Rock N Roll Express. The Andersons have been battling the Express for tag team gold for years and it won’t end anytime soon. He wants Ricky & Robert to consider this a warning. The Andersons are back and they are coming for world tag team gold. They leave as JR sends us to the ring for the SMW Beat the Champ TV title match. The monster, The Tazmaniac, defends against Tommy Dreamer.

SMW Beat the Champ TV Championship: The Tazmaniac *champion* def. Tommy Dreamer
.
Eddie Guerrero comes out and gets between Tazmaniac & the fallen Dreamer. Tazmaniac changes direction and goes after Eddie and the two brawl outside. The brawl to the back. Meanwhile back at JR, “Hotstuff” Eddie Gilbert comes out. Gilbert tells JR that he is looking at one of the greatest wrestlers in the world today. The Memphis Mafia fooled everyone. They showed Lawler that the Memphis Mafia isn’t about him. They showed he was never one of them, never someone who was in play to defend Memphis against these Smoky Mountain dipsticks. Now, he wants to introduce the newest full member….Jeff Jarrett comes out. He tells JR that his father is who made Jerry Lawler who he is. He made him “The King”. His father made him the household name Jerry Lawler did and what did Lawler do when Memphis was being ignored? He disappeared and went elsewhere to wrestle. He held US titles. Did he come to Memphis and defend it? No. Instead Memphis had to join this bag of crap called Smoky Mountain Wrestling. Then he made sure Lawler had nothing that tied him to Memphis when Jarrett made sure he took the USWA world heavyweight title belt away from Lawler and gave it to Barry Windham. A man, who like Jarrett, comes from a famous wrestling family. Gilbert interjects and says from day one Lawler had his chance. Now he has nothing. They leave as JR sends us to commercial.

We are back and JR announces that next week Jerry “The King” Lawler will be here and from what JR hears, Lawler is not happy with Jarrett & Gilbert. Another man not happy with Jarrett, Gilbert, an the whole Memphis Mafia, is the man who is the number one contender to the SMW heavyweight title, The Dirty White Boy. JR says that Rick Michaels will get his chance to beat the Dirty White Boy but after the slobber knocker this match will be, Rick Michaels may regret this chance.

DWB def. Rick Michaels
.
Eric Bischoff joins DWB in the ring. WB says that those punks, Gilbert & Jarrett, need to learn a lesson. That lesson will come next week when Jerry “The King” Lawler comes in to town. He wants Lawler to know that if he needs Dirty White Boy, he can keep on needing him because White Boy is busy. What is he busy doing? He is going to take the SMW heavyweight title from that punk Brad Armstrong, the oldest of the 50 Armstrong children. Brad Armstrong, the one with the most talent of all the Armstrongs including old “Bullet” Bob. But the thing is this, Brad does not have toughness to stop the Dirty White Boy from coming, beating his brains in and taking that Smoky Mountain heavyweight title. It is coming and nothing none of those punks in the Armstrong family can stop it. SMW will be the Dirty White Boy’s playground and no one is going to stop him. He leaves as we head to the final commercial.

We are back after the final commercial and it is main event time. Steve Doll is in the ring waiting as Jim Ross says he is in for the fight of his life against the evil that is Jake “The Snake” Roberts. Roberts takes his time and walks slowly to the ring, smiling…

MAIN EVENT: Jake “The Snake” Roberts def. Steve Doll

Roberts takes the mic and says Brad Armstrong needs to pay more attention to him than Dirty White Boy…he picks up Doll and hits the DDT again, slithering across the screen as we fade out.
Working on it now.
