Eric Bischoff welcomes the fans to another week of Smoky Mountain Wrestling. He is Eric Bischoff and with him as always, Bobby “The Brain” Heenan. This week will be a huge week for action. We are going to see the Connecticut Blue Blood, Jean-Paul Levesque make his debut. Tim Horner will be in action. In the main event will be a huge 6-man tag team match between Brad, Scott, and Steve Armstrong taking on The heavenly Bodies & Bobby Eaton with Jim Cornette. But that isn’t it. We are going to see a Beat the Champ TV title defense when Dustin Rhodes takes on “The California Stud” Rod Price. Right now we head to the ring for the action.

Jean-Paul Lévesque def. Wolfie D
.
Jen-Paul is with Bischoff at the desk. He says that he is disgusted with the sweaty, dirty people of Tennessee but even more disgusted with the fact he has to wrestle them. He makes more money in n hour for just existing than these no good sweat hogs make in their lives. And yet here he is in nowhere Tennessee wrestling nobodies in front of hillbillies. But rest assured the women in the crowds, all 5 pretty ones, will be in heaven when Jean-Paul Levesque comes to the ring. He says that in short order you are going to see gold around his perfect waist too. He leaves as we go to commercial.

We are back and Horner comes out before his match. He tells Bischoff that he heard what Tracy Smothers said last week and he wants Smothers to understand something. Horner agrees that one of them has to leave Smoky Mountain. One of them has to go so what Horner wants Smothers to do is watch closely to what Horner is going to do to this punk JC Ice because it won’t be pretty. He heads to the ring for the action.

Horner does not even get to celebrate before Smothers rushes the ring and the brawl starts. The go at it tooth and nail. Rick Michaels comes out with Mike Samples and the two are dispatched easily. Out comes officials and they are taken care of quickly. The locker room comes out to break it up as we go to commercial break. As the chaos is controlled, Jeff Jarrett & Eddie Gilbert come out. They tell Bischoff that the Rock N’ Roll Express have been ducking the Memphis Mafia for a while now and that has to stop. The Rock N’ Roll Express got their starts in Memphis but they forgot who they are, where they come from. But Jarrett & Gilbert are here to remind them. All they need is Ricky & Robert to sign the dotted line and the titles will change hands. They don’t care about the Armstrongs or The Heavenly Bodies. The Memphis Mafia want the titles and there is nothing that will stop them from getting them.

Bischoff tells the fans that the match has been signed for Parade of Champions Night 1 on Saturday October 7th 1993. Night 2, on the 8th, will be headlined by The Dirty White Boy getting his shot at Jake “The Snake” Roberts and the Smoky Mountain heavyweight title. Right now it is time for the Beat the Champ television title match. The 6’, 270lb “California Stud” Rod Price will make his debut and take on the champion Dustin Rhodes. We head to the ring for the action.

Beat The Champ Television Championship: “The California Stud” Rod Price def. Dustin Rhodes *champion* for the title after Chris Candido comes and hits Rhodes from behind as Tammy Sytch distracts the official. They leave with the title quickly as Barry Windham comes to assist Rhodes.
.
We go to the Eric Bischoff at the announce desk where “The Nature Boy” Buddy Landel has Brian Christopher, Jeff Jarrett, and Eddie Gilbert. Landel tells everyone in the studio today and watching at home to take a look at the greatest group of wrestlers in the world today. You have before you “The Southern Horsemen” and they are the best. As soon as Eddie Guerrero defends the belt against Brian Christopher, you know the title will change hands. As soon as the Rock N’ Roll Express man up and defend the belts against Jeff & Eddie, then belts will change hands. But then you have Jake Roberts defending against The Dirty White Boy. Landel hopes White Boy wins it because while he can beat both men at the same time, he wants White Boy in order to teach him a lesson. Bischoff tells Landel and the rest of them they should be careful what they wish for because it could happen. Jarrett says to bring it then. They will be waiting.

The final commercial is over and it is time for the main event. It is 6-man action when all three Armstrong brothers, all former Smoky Mountain champions, taking on The Heavenly Bodies & Bobby Eaton. We head to the ring as the crowd boos Jim Cornette introducing his men, but cheer loudly as The Armstrongs make their way in.

MAIN EVENT (6-Man Tag Team Match): The Armstrongs (Brad/Steve/Scott) def. The Heavenly Bodies & Bobby Eaton w. Jim Cornette via DQ as Cornette uses his racket to bust open the Armstrong brothers.
.
Cornette’s men keep their attack on until “Bullet” Bob rushes the ring with the “Tennessee toothpick”. He swings wildly but misses as Cornette gets his men out of the ring in time. We fade out to Bob demanding Cornette and his goons get back in the ring between checking on his sons.
