After Lou leaves the ring, Mark signals for the bell and we’re ready for action!
A highly anticipated US debut as Misawa enters the arena!
MITSUHARU MISAWA vs. CHRIS CARTER: Misawa simply has too many moves for Carter to handle. Misawa gets the pin with a tiger suplex into a bridging pin! The fans get to see many moves that they have never seen before and they give the Japanese superstar a standing O for his efforts!

Boni Blackstone is backstage. Kerry and Kevin Von Erich are warming up.
BONI: Guys, I am sorry to bother you, but you both have big matches on this spectacular card!
KEVIN: That’s right! I’m up next! I have a chance at regaining the TV Title from “Ace” Bob Orton! This time, it’s no DQ! Nothing’s gonna stop me from doing whatever that I need to do to get my title back here tonight!
KERRY: I’m in the Main Event, defending the Undisputed World Title against a really tough guy, “Dr. Death” Steve Williams! I can guarantee everybody one thing-family will always be #1 for the Von Erichs! We’ll be watching each other’s back, no doubt about it!
TV Champion “The Ace” Bob Orton, Jr. enters the arena! He’s not alone, the leader of The Organization,“Megabucks” Michael Rotunda, and Missy Hyatt are with him! Rotunda is waving that nightstick areound!
The challenger enters the arena! Von Erich leaps over the top rope and into the ring! He asks Mark Lowrance for the mic!
KEVIN: OK, Ace, I’m ready for you and anything you throw at me! And I know your bimbo friend has a manager’s license, so that’s ok, too! But the rule that the Cowboy made says that only managers can be at ringside! You’d better get outta Dodge, Mikey!
ROTUNDA: Hold on! This is NO DQ!I can stay down here and there’s nothing this referee can do, because he can’t disqualify me!
DAVID MANNING: Yeah, he’s right, Kevin!
KEVIN: So, that means that the Modern Day Warrior can be out here, too!
MANNING: Yeah, that’s right!
The heels protest, but Kerry makes his way to ringside! Looks like we will have a fair fight after all!
UWA TV TITLE MATCH: “THE ACE” BOB ORTON © (W/MICHAEL ROTUNDA & MISSY HYATT) VS. KEVIN VON ERICH (W/KERRY VON ERICH): Kevin goes on the offensive right away and has the Ace in trouble! Orton rolls out of the ring several times to attempt to break the challenger’s momentum, but each time, Kerry chases him back into the ring! After about five minutes, the World Tag Champions, Magnificent Muraco and Rick Martel come to ringside! They close in on Kerry. After a few minutes of taunting and threatening, the tag team champs attack Kerry! Meanwhile, Missy climbs onto the ring apron and distracts the referee! Rotunda rolls in and helps Orton double team Kevin! At ringside, Kevin sends Muraco headfirst into the ring post and discus punches Martel! Kerry rolls into the ring to help Kevin! Rotunda nails Kerry in the midsection with his nightstick! Kerry doubles over! Orton holds Kerry in place! Rotunda nails Kerry ‘s ribs with the nightstick! Again! Again! And Again! This is despicable! Kevin dropkicks Rotunda and he goes flying over the top rope! Now, Kevin hammers away at Orton! Muraco and Martel start to climb into the ring! The Fantastics run out, wielding chairs! The heels retreat! Kerry is lying on the mat, holding his ribs!Kevin and the Fantastics help him to his feet and out of the arena! David Manning says that he’s calling it a no-contest, but that doesn’t seem very important at this time. Can even Kerry Von Erich recover from this in time to defend his title later tonight?
COMMERCIAL
The camera is backstage. Paramedics are helping Kerry Von Erich into an ambulance! Kevin is also in the picture.
KERRY: I can’t go to the hospital! I gotta defend my title!
PARAMEDIC: Look, you need a doctor to look at those ribs!
KEVIN: I’ll go with you and make sure you get back in time! If you have a broken rib and try to wrestle, you could end up with a punctured lung or something!
PARAMEDIC #2: You’d better listen to your brother, sir!
Boni Blackstone walks into the picture.
BONI: We’ll try to provide updates as the evening progresses. The Main Event is in jeopardy right now!
THE GREAT KABUKI (W/HIRO MATSUDA) VS. JUMBO TSURUTA: Jumbo is looking to avenge the eye injury he suffered as a result of Kabuki’s green mist. Jumbo gets the win as he pins Kabuki at the 7:12 mark with a backdrop suplex. After the match, Mr. Saito runs in and viciously attacks Jumbo! Kabuki recovers and joins in on the pounding of Tsuruta! It looks bad for Jumbo….
MISAWA COMES FLYING OFF THE TOP ROPE AND HITS SAITO WITH A MISSILE DROPKICK! Saito goes sprawling out of the ring! Kabuki throws a kick at Misawa! Misawa ducks and hits Kabuki with a Tiger Driver! Misawa and Tsuruta stand tall here on TNT!

UWA WORLD JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH: SCOTTY THE BODY (W/MISSY HYATT) © VS. EL HIJO DEL SANTO: Santo’s lucha style gives the junior heavy champ fits for most of the match. Scotty relies on sneaky heel tactics to stay in the match. Scotty retains his title by pinfall with an inside cradle and a handfull of tights.
Boni is standing by with the House of Humperdink backstage.
BONI: I’m here with Sir Oliver Humperdink and it’s a big night for you and your stable!
SOH: Boni, I just dumped over 400 pounds of dead weight when I dumped that chump, Mukhan Singh! I hear he’s working as a fry cook at a truck stop in Jellico, Tennessee and eating all the profits, no doubt! That’s ok! As you say, it’s a big night for the House of Humperdink! The big man, the Great Kokina, will wipe the floor with that moron, Scott Hall! Scott, you had your chance to join us, but you blew it! Now, you’re gonna regret it! Also, my man, the Russian Bear, Ivan Koloff, is gonna beat old Alvin York himself, Sgt. Slaughter in his own style of match, a boot camp match!
KOLOFF: Sgt. Slaughter, I am ready for you! Look, I have taped my fists! I am wearing heavy combat boots! I have the Russian chain! Not only will I beat you, I will destroy you!
IRON SHEIK: Iran, number one! Russia, number one! USA? Hack PHOOEY!
SOH: I have one further announcement! No matter who wins the match for the Undisputed World Championship here tonight, I have signed a Title match for the next episode of UWA FURY! The title will be defended against the IRON SHEIK!
SHEIK: I am the next World Champion! Whether it is Dr. Death or Von Erich, I can beat him and the title is mine!
Kokina is patting Sheik on the back, but Koloff is just glaring!

Blackjack Mulligan leads his Destruction Crew to the ring. Both Mike Enos and Wayne Bloom wear hard hats and carry sledge hammers. They enter the ring and await their opponents. We hear…
The Fantastics arrive! Tommy Rogers looks ready to go!
THE FANTASTICS VS. THE DESTRUCTION CREW(W/BLACKJACK MULLIGAN): Bobby and Tommy look better than ever as they use quick tags and precision teamwork to keep the heels off balance. Mulligan tries to help his team by ramming the handle of one of the sledge hammers into Tommy while the ref is trying to get Bobby out of the ring. Blackjack mistimes the move and ends up nailing Mike Enos in the ribcage! Roges small packages Mean Mike and gets the 1-2-3! The Fantastics comeback is a big success!
COMMERCIAL
Boni is standing by backstage…
BONI: I’m here with the Destruction Crew and their manager Blackjack Mulligan! Tommy Rogers gets a measure of revenge tonight as the Fantastics defeat the Destruction Crew!
MULLIGAN: Well, that’s the way it goes-sometimes you’re the windshield, sometimes you’re the bug!
BLOOM: You know what, we get sick of your hillbilly ignorance!
MULLIGAN: WHAT?
ENOS: You cost us the match, you ignorant goat roper! You hit me like this!
ENOS RAMS THE HANDLE OF THE SLEDGEHAMMER INTO MULLIGAN”S ABDOMEN!THE DESTRUCTION CREW PROCEED TO BEAT THE STEW OUT OF THEIR MANAGER! They leave Mulligan in a heap on the floor!
ENOS: In case you’re too dimwitted to figure it out: YOU’RE FIRED!
BONI: I can’t believe this! Let’s go back to ringside!
SCOTT HALL VS. THE GREAT KOKINA(W/SIR OLIVER HUMPERDINK): This is a true hossfight with as much fighting outside the ring as there is wrestling inside of it! Hall finally manages to bodyslam Kokina on the arena floor. Unfortunately, when hall tries that move inside of the ring, SOH reaches in and trips him! Hall falls backward with the massive Polynesian on top of him! Amazingly, Hall counts out at 2 ½! Kokina drags hall to the corner, climbs to the top rope and lands a senton! The crowd is stunned as Kokina merely sits on Scott for the three count! What a huge win for the House of Humperdink!
We go to Boni backstage…
BONI: Here comes the winner of our last match! Sir Oliver, Kokina, a great victory tonight!
SOH: Scott Hall! Maybe you learned your lesson here tonight! Maybe now, you’ll stay out of our way!
The heels leave Boni.
BONI: I am joined by UWA President Cowboy Bill Watts. Sir, it’s been a great night thus far, but we’re all concerned about our Undisputed World Champion, Kerry Von Erich!
WATTS: Boni, I just was on the phone with Kevin Von Erich. He said the doctor is taking care of Kerry and they will do their best to get back here to the Cow Palace ASAP! I told him that I’ll give him as much time as possible, but Kerry is contracted to defend the belt tonight against Steve Williams! He must defend the belt here this evening!
BONI: I certainly hope he makes it! Now, Scott Hall is coming this way. Scott, I hate to bother you after such a tough loss, but if you have a moment to talk to me, I’d appreciate it!
Bill Watts moves on and Hall enters the picture. Scott is moving slowly and looks totally dejected.
BONI: How do you come back from something like that?
HALL: I feel like a ton of bricks just fell on me!
BONI: Are you going to look for revenge against the House of Humperdink?
HALL: I’m gonna do what I need to do, Boni! Some people aren’t gonna like it, but I can’t worry about what everybody thinks anymore! That’s all!
Hall slowly walks out of the picture!
BONI: I’m not exactly sure what that means, ladies and gentlemen! The World Tag Team Title match is up next!
COMMERCIAL
It’s tag team championship time! The music plays for the challengers!
Dustin Rhodes and Kendall Windham, the reunited Texas Broncos enter the Cow Palace!
Missy Hyatt leads the World Tag titleholders to the ring!
UWA WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: MAGNIFICENT MURACO & RICK MARTEL (W/MISSY HYATT) © VS. THE TEXAS BRONCOS: For most of the match, the challengers seem to be a step ahead of the champions. With the Broncos in charge, the heels begin to rely on rulebreaking. This leads to an all out brawl with all four men in the ring! Avid Manning removes Rhodes from the ring as Kendall exceutes a rolling reverse on Martel! Windham has Martel pinned, but Muraco nails the young Texan with a vicious clothesline to reverse the pin! When the ref turns to the action, all he sees is Martel pinning Windham! One...Two...THREE!!! Once again, the Organization steals one! Now, they have all the titles except the Undisputed World Title and Dr> Death may rectify that before we’re done here tonight!
COMMERCIAL
Boni is standing in the backstage area.
BONI: I understand we have Kevin Von Erich on the phone. Kevin, what is Kerry’s condition?
KEVIN: Boni, the doctor is taping his ribs. He says with Kerry’s conditioning that he can wrestle tonight. He says it’s very possible that Dr. Death could cause further injuries, but you know how stubborn Kerry is! As soon as his ribs are taped, the ambulance driver who brought us here is driving us back to the Cow Palace! Tell them that the match is still on!
BONI: Wow! I’ll pass that on! Fans, you heard the man! Right now, it’s time for the Boot Camp Match!
We go to the ring, Sgt. Slaughter, dressed in combat fatigues, combat boots and taped fists is waving his American flag and Ivan Koloff is waving the Soviet flag!
BOOT CAMP MATCH: SGT. SLAUGHTER VS. “RUSSIAN BEAR” IVAN KOLFF(W/SIR OLIVER HUMPERDINK): When the flag waving is through, these two veterans tear into each other furiously! They hit each other with everything that isn’t nailed down and, before long, both men are bleeding! It looks like the Sarge is done for when Koloff brings his chain into the ring and starts choking the Marine with it! With the fans chanting “USA”, Slaughter amazingly, fights to his feet! The Iron Sheik runs in and attacks Slaughter! There’s no DQ, so there’s nothing referee Scott LeDoux can do about it! Sheik and Koloff beat Slaughter down, then they go to clothesline Slaughter with the chain! SLAUGHTER DUCKS! SLAUGHTER COMES OFF THE ROPES AND HITS A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE! Sheik goes tumbling out of the ring and Koloff is down! Slaughter covers Koloff! One...two...THREE! SLAUGHTER WINS THE BOOT CAMP MATCH!!!
When we return, hopefully… KERRY VON ERICH DEFENDS THE WORLD TITLE AGAINST STEVE “DR. DEATH” WILLIAMS!!!!
COMMERCIAL
The challenger enters the ring with the beautiful Missy Hyatt by his side! Williams removes his robe and runs the ropes as Missy cheers him on!
Doc’s music stops and the tune changes…
The song plays through, but there’s no Modern Day Warrior! This doesn’t look good!
We cut to backstage. A door opens and we see an ambulance pull up, lights flashing! Kerry Von Erich, ribs taped, emerges from the ambulance! Kevin is with him! Cowboy Bill Watts approaches Kerry as he enters the building and hands him the title belt! Kerry slings the belt over his shoulder and , looking very determined, heads towards the ring!
In the ring, Missy has the mic…
MISSY: Look, if he’s not gonna show, they need to give Dr. Death the World Title right now!
Kerry’s music hits again and, this time, the champ enters the arena and the audience darn near blows the roof off the joint!
UWA UNDISPUTED WORLD TITLE MATCH: “MODERN DAY WARRIOR” KERRY VON ERICH © VS. STEVE “DR. DEATH” WILLIAMS (W/MISSY HYATT): Surprisingly, Williams doesn’t go after the injury right away. Kerry doesn’t seem to be slowed down for the most part. Then, Kerry whips Williams into the corner. Kerry chrges and Williams holds up a knee and catches the champion in the injured ribs! Kerry doubles over in pain! That is the turniong point. Kerry fights bravely, but he’s in big trouble. After a few minutes of brutality, Dr. Death hits the Oklahoma Stampede, ramming Kerry into each turnbuckle before slamming him hard to the mat! The fans scream for Kerry to kick out, but nobody kicks out from that! ONE...TWO...THREE!!!
DR. DEATH HAS WON THE UNDISPUTED WORLD TITLE!!! Missy Hyatt and Michael Rotunda enter the ring to celebrate with the new champion! Kevin Von Erich enters the ring to check on his brother. Kerry fought like a warrior poet, but tonight belongs to Dr. Death!
The Organization is now in possession of all of the titles in the UWA! What does that mean for the future of our great sport? We’ll see you Sunday on UWA FURY and maybe some of those questions will be answered!

They hit each other with everything that isn’t nailed down and, before long, both men are bleeding! It looks like the Sarge is done for when Koloff brings his chain into the ring and starts choking the Marine with it! With the fans chanting “USA”, Slaughter amazingly, fights to his feet! The Iron Sheik runs in and attacks Slaughter! There’s no DQ, so there’s nothing referee Scott LeDoux can do about it! Sheik and Koloff beat Slaughter down, then they go to clothesline Slaughter with the chain! SLAUGHTER DUCKS! SLAUGHTER COMES OFF THE ROPES AND HITS A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE! Sheik goes tumbling out of the ring and Koloff is down! Slaughter covers Koloff! One...two...THREE! SLAUGHTER WINS THE BOOT CAMP MATCH!!!
When we return, hopefully… KERRY VON ERICH DEFENDS THE WORLD TITLE AGAINST STEVE “DR. DEATH” WILLIAMS!!!!
COMMERCIAL
The challenger enters the ring with the beautiful Missy Hyatt by his side! Williams removes his robe and runs the ropes as Missy cheers him on!
Doc’s music stops and the tune changes…
The song plays through, but there’s no Modern Day Warrior! This doesn’t look good!
We cut to backstage. A door opens and we see an ambulance pull up, lights flashing! Kerry Von Erich, ribs taped, emerges from the ambulance! Kevin is with him! Cowboy Bill Watts approaches Kerry as he enters the building and hands him the title belt! Kerry slings the belt over his shoulder and , looking very determined, heads towards the ring!
In the ring, Missy has the mic…
MISSY: Look, if he’s not gonna show, they need to give Dr. Death the World Title right now!
Kerry’s music hits again and, this time, the champ enters the arena and the audience darn near blows the roof off the joint!
UWA UNDISPUTED WORLD TITLE MATCH: “MODERN DAY WARRIOR” KERRY VON ERICH © VS. STEVE “DR. DEATH” WILLIAMS (W/MISSY HYATT): Surprisingly, Williams doesn’t go after the injury right away. Kerry doesn’t seem to be slowed down for the most part. Then, Kerry whips Williams into the corner. Kerry chrges and Williams holds up a knee and catches the champion in the injured ribs! Kerry doubles over in pain! That is the turniong point. Kerry fights bravely, but he’s in big trouble. After a few minutes of brutality, Dr. Death hits the Oklahoma Stampede, ramming Kerry into each turnbuckle before slamming him hard to the mat! The fans scream for Kerry to kick out, but nobody kicks out from that! ONE...TWO...THREE!!!
DR. DEATH HAS WON THE UNDISPUTED WORLD TITLE!!! Missy Hyatt and Michael Rotunda enter the ring to celebrate with the new champion! Kevin Von Erich enters the ring to check on his brother. Kerry fought like a warrior poet, but tonight belongs to Dr. Death!
The Organization is now in possession of all of the titles in the UWA! What does that mean for the future of our great sport? We’ll see you Sunday on UWA FURY and maybe some of those questions will be answered!
Working on it now.
