We even have an 8 man tag team match! Two members of the House of Humperdink, “the Model” Rick Martel and Scott “the Stud” Hall will team here tonight.

BABY DOLL: That was spectacular! Comparing my team to the Fantastics is like comparing prime rib to horse manure! Bobby and Tommy do you have the guts to give Loverboy Dennis and Sexy Steve a title match?
As Baby Doll cuts her promo, Dennis and Steve Fargo strut around the ring.

BONI: I’m here with two members of wrestling’s firs t family, the Von Erichs! Kerry and Kevin, you both have big matches at MEMPHIS MAYHEM tomorrow. Kerry, your opponent will be Scott “the Stud” Hall. Hall has been on a real winning streak since he joined the House of Humperdink. On top of that, Oliver Humperdink has promised a “bombshell” tomorrow night!
KERRY: He can make any promise that he wants to, Boni! Scott, I used to think that you were a decent guy! But anybody who has anything to do with the House of Humperdink is a jerk in my book! Did you see what Humperdink did to Ron Garvin last week? He tried to put his eye out! No matter what Humperdink has planned, I’ll be ready!
KEVIN: Don’t worry, Kerry! I’ll be watching your back! I have a match with Al Perez for my TV Title! Talk about a jerk! He sold out to Sheik Adnan for a harem! A harem, can you believe that? Treating women like they can be bought or sold like cattle or something! I hope your harem is watching tomorrow night, Al! I’ll show’em what a real man is all about!But like I said, after I’m done with my title match, I’ll be keeping an eye on Kerry’s match!

LES: I’m here in the home of Ronnie Garvin. Ron, we can see the eye patch. The cologne Oliver Humperdink sprayed in your eyes did some damage…

And I’m gonna be in Memphis, Tennessee, Les! And I’m gonna be in the ring! And Rick Martel, you’ll be my opponent! That slob Humperdink signed an open contract for you to wrestle at MEMPHIS MAYHEM and Cowboy BilL Watts brought me that contract!

ROTUNDA: Labor Day. I have never celebrated that holiday. Why would I? I’ve never had to work. I was born with a silver spoon in my hand and a trust fund to make sure that I’d never punch a time clock! But I realize that all of you working stiffs think tomorrow is a big deal! So, here’s what you should do: Eat you hot dogs and cheeseburgers. Drink your cheap domestic beers. Play horsheshoes and have your sack races. Listen to your redneck music. Then, as the highlight of your day off, turn on your black and white, 17 inch TV and watch me take my title back from that ignorant Okie, Steve Williams! Steve, after I pin you, hand my belt back To me and admit that you were beaten by a better man! And I have a message for Missy Hyatt: After I finish with Williams, don’t come crawling to me, asking for a second chance! After tomorrow night, the UWA will have a champion that it can be proud of! A man who looks like a success, not some caveman! A man who can travel the world and represent the UWA with class! I will be that man! (smirks) Oh yes, and have a happy Labor Day!
