Commentary: Les Thatcher, Lance Russell, and Magnum TA
Interviewer: Boni Blackstone
Ring Announcer: Mark Lowrance
VTR OPENING:
Kerry Von Erich pinning Michael Rotunda for the Undisputed World Title at Texas Stadium! Then, we see the Fantastics entering the arena and being mobbed by fans! We see Missy Hyatt blowing a kiss! Kokina hitting a Samoan drop! Kevin Von Erich hitting the splash off of the top of the cage onto Bob Orton! Dusty Rhodes dropping a bionic elbow! Magnificent Muraco and Rick Martel holding the UWA World Tag belts above their heads! Tito Santana hitting a flying forearm! Al Perez & Baby Doll in a red convertible! Steve Williams powerslamming Kerry Von Erich! Steve Williams eliminating Andre to win Battle Bowl!
LANCE: Yello, everybody! Welcome to the world famous Sportatorium in downtown Dallas! We have 90 minutes of UWA FURY for ya and this son of a gun absolutely will not quit! Les, we have some really great matches featuring some of the UWA’s biggest stars!
LES: No doubt about it! The Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion, Steve “Dr. Death” Williams will be here! He’ll wrestle, Missy Hyatt will be with him, and I hope he speaks to the challenge of “Megabucks” Michael Rotunda!
LANCE: Labor Day and the big Memphis Mayhem TV special is only a few weeks away, so we need an answer on that soon! The World Junior Heavyweight Champion Scotty the Body is also here tonight and he’s in a non-title match against an amazing athlete out of Japan, Jushin “Thunder” Liger!
MAGNUM: The UWA has been getting a lot of letters asking to see Liger on TV more! The fans have never seen anything like this guy!
LES: Another main event caliber match will see “The Model” Rick Martel wrestle the double tough Ronnie Garvin! Martel had better be focused on the match and not cologne advertisements!
MAGNUM: That’s for sure! Ronnie would just as soon knock a guy out as look at him! We’ve have a potentially explosive situation tonight: Dusty Rhodes and Dick Slater are both in the building this week and both have scheduled matches!
LANCE: Yowza! We have a whale of a show on TNT this week! We’d better get started if we’re gonna get it all on!
DESTRUCTION CREW (W/ SIR OLIVER HUMPERDINK) VS. ALEX G & BOB HOLLY: The House of Humperdink has been growing lately, but it would be a mistake to sleep on Mike Enos & Wayne Bloom. The Crew overpowers their opponents tonight and Bloom pins Alex G after a Wrecking Ball finisher.
VTR:
As the music plays, we see footage of Elvis in concert...Beale Street… Graceland...black and white footage of wrestlers like Jackie Fargo, Sputnik Monoroe, and Billy Wicks.
LES: (v/o) Memphis, a great American City! Known for Elvis, Beale Street, and some of the hottest wrestling action in the world!!!
Now, we switch to current action featuring the superstars of the UWA!!
LES: On Labor Day, live from the Mid-South Coliseum, exclusively on TNT at 8 PM! It’s MEMPHIS MAYHEM!!! The most action packed wrestling spectacular ever presented on TV! Don’t miss it!
Dusty Rhodes stands in front of the gates of Graceland…
DUSTY: Elvis himself might be there, baby!
VTR:
Sheik Adnan, Al Perez, and Papa Shango are standing in the locker room.
ADNAN: Tonight, I have the master of the dark arts, Papa Shango, making his debut! You Americans are not ready for this man!
PEREZ: That’s right, Sheik! And the Latin Heartthrob is coming up next!
COMMERCIALS
As Chuck Coates waits in the ring, Sheik Adnan enters, followed by Al Perez! Perez is surrounded by the harem that Adnan presented him with last week! You’ve never seen a more arrogant individual!
“LATIN HEARTTHROB” AL PEREZ(W/SHEIK ADNAN) VS. CHUCK COATES: Perez is as aggressive as we’ve ever seen him. He goes after Coates’ leg and eventually finishes him with a spinning toehold. Then, we go to the interview area….
BONI: I’m here with two of the most popular men in the UWA, the Von Erichs. Kerry, Kevin, I understand that you both will be wrestling at Memphis Mayhem on Labor Day here on TNT!
KEVIN: That’s right! I’m defending the TV Title against Al Perez! Perez, you sold out to the Sheik! You took his blood money and his oil money and his women! That’s the difference between you and me, Perez! I’m not for sale at any price! If you think that I’m gonna let you take this belt and hand it over to the Sheik, you’ve got another thing coming! You can bring all the dancing girls, you can bring the Sheik! It’s not gonna help! No way am I letting you take my title because it’s the people’s title, Perez! You are a great wrestler, but it’s gonna be like taking on me and all of the thousands of wrestling fans who support my family and me!
BONI: Kerry, last week, Scott “the Stud” Hall said he wouldn’t wrestle on MEMPHIS MAYHEM unless he had a world class opponent. He should be careful what he wishes for! Nobody is more world class than the Modern Day Warrior!
KERRY: Hall, you used to be an all right sort of guy! Then, that tub of lard Humperdink made you an even bigger jerk than he is! You wanna use me for a stepping stone? That’s ok! Bigger and better than you have tried and failed! You know what, Hall? I’ve asked the girls about you calling yourself “the Stud”. (laughs) They say “DUD” is more like it! I don’t know, just telling you what the ladies are saying! I want all of the fans in Memphis to know that we love your city and we love the fans there! Some of the greatest wrestling fans in the world are in that part of the country! The Von Erichs need your support! So, pack the Mid South Coliseum for us, okay?
BONI: It will be a great night and the Von Erichs will be a big part of it!

The capable George South enters the ring. Then, the lights go down and a single spotlight shines on a bizarre looking individual walking to the ring!
PAPA SHANGO (W/SHEIK ADNAN) VS. GEORGE SOUTH: Shango waves his smoking skull around and points ominously at his opponent. The usually cocky South looks spooked! Once the bell rings, it’s all ruthless aggression from Shango and he delivers a vicious pounding to South before finishing him with a tombstone piledriver. An impressive debut for a strange man!

PERSONALITY PROFILE:
We see Les Thatcher standing on the sidewalk in a rundown neighborhood. The sign on the building behind him reads “ TURK’S GYM”.

JYD: Les, you and me both were blessed to be professional wrestlers. I know that we can both testify that wrestling is a tough business to get into. To make, a young man needs help. Somebody helped the Dog break in. I’m sure you had somebody helped you in the early years. I wanna introduce you and all the great fans in the UWA to a tag team called the Ebony Experience. Stevie Ray, on my left, and his brother, Booker T, on the right. I’m taking it on myself to help these young men get a start. This sport has been good to the Dog and now I wanna pass on some of what I’ve learned to these young brothers! I’m asking all of the Dog’s fans to get behind Booker T and Stevie Ray!
LES: Well, you two young men have a great opportunity here…

MISSY: I heard that! He challenged Dr. Death to a title match and he kicked me to the curb! I think you’re just jealous, Mikey! You’re mad because Dr. Death has the belt and you don’t!
DR. DEATH: I think that you’re right, Missy! I wanna say something to my old buddy, Cowboy Bill Watts! Get the contract ready! I’ll defend this title against Mike Rotunda or anybody else who comes outta the woodwork! Put us in the main event at MEMPHIS MAYHEM or anywhere else!

Here comes the American Dream!
“AMERICAN DREAM” DUSTY RHODES VS. JONNIE STEWART: Stewart has potential, but the legendary Rhodes is out of his league at this point! Rhodes puts Stewart away with a big elbow drop.
BONI: I am here with Dick Slater. You seem to have targeted the American Dream…
SLATER: Ten years! That’s how long he’s been hiding from me, Boni! I finally tracked him here to the UWA! Rhodes, do you have the guts to face me on labor Day at the big MEMPHIS MAYHEM show? Millions of people will be watching here on TNT, Rhodes! It would be a great nigh t to put you out of wrestling for good? Again, I ask you: Do you have the guts?
BONI: I have an interview scheduled with Dusty and Dustin later tonight. I’ll pass the message on to Dusty the!
SLATER: Yeah, why don’t you do that for me, sweetie?

DICK SLATER VS. NIGHTMARE #2: The Nightmare uses his speed to give Slater some trouble, but Dick gets a convincing win after a neckbreaker.
BONI: I’m here with the House of Humperdink! Sir Oliver, it’s a big night for your group!
SOH: You heard the big announcement earlier: Scott “The Stud” Hall gets the Modern Day Warrior at Memphis Mayhem! It’s about time that the UWA gave the Stud a worthy opponent!
HALL: Von Erich, you don’t impress me! The girls you asked about me are the 14 year olds who send you and your hippie brother Valentine’s Day cards every year and hang your posters on their walls along with Shaun Cassidy and Leif Garrett! Ask some grown women and they’ll tell you all about the Stud!
SOH: At Memphis Mayhem, we’re gonna have a bombshell for the Von Erichs, all of their idiot fans, and whoever wins that World Title match! You won’t believe your eyes! Did you see my Destruction Crew earlier tonight? The most awesome team in the UWA! The Fantastics are scared to put their belts on the line against us! And, just look at the Model, Rick Martel! Tonight, he’s gonna give Ronnie Garvin a wrestling lesson later tonight!
MARTEL: Garvin, you ignorant redneck! Just look at this! I am a man of great class! I have style! You’ve never been involved in anything like this! Roll it!
VTR:
We see Rick Martel running along the beach.
NARRATOR (v/o): For a renaissance man and a finely tuned athlete, it takes more than self confidence to succeed! You need something more than confidence! You need ...ARROGANCE!
We see Martel, dressed in a towel in a steamy bathroom. He picks up a decanter of cologne and splashes a few handfulls on his neck, chest, and face.
NARRATOR: ARROGANCE! The exciting, invigorating scent for today’s sexy and successful man!
We see Martel, now dressed in a tuxedo climbing into the back seat of a limo where a beautiful woman in a slinky evening gown is waiting. The woman greets Martel with a kiss.
