LES: I certainly echo those sentiments, Lance! I don’t think that I’ve ever seen a more exciting event!
MAGNUM: Not only, the title changes, but Missy Hyatt stabbing Dr. Death in the back! The surprising appearances of Ravishing Rick Rude and “the Ace”, Bob Orton! If you weren’t sitting on the edge of your seat, well, you must be a psychic!

BONI: Congratulations on regaining the Undisputed title, even though I don’t think anybody approves of the way that you won!
ROTUNDA: I won scientifically! I won brutally! I outsmarted the Neanderthal!
BONI: Missy Hyatt, you betrayed Dr. Death!
MISSY: He was an idiot! Michael had a master plan and that hayseed fell for it!
ROTUNDA: Williams, honestly, take a long look at the First Lady of Professional Wrestling! Now, before you go and take a cold shower, look at yourself in a mirror! Think about it-when was the last time you saw a woman like her with a man like you?
BONI: That’s a terrible thing to say!
MISSY: Think about it, girl! You aren’t in my league, but I’ll admit that you’re kinda cute. I don’t even see you dating any of these Sporatorium sweathogs!
BONI: (obviously angry) back to the champ: You know, of course that Dr. Death will be looking for you!
ROTUNDA: And I am not hard to find! Unfortunately for Williams, there are a long list of top contenders throughout the world and he will have to wait his turn! We have the new American Champion, Buddy Landel, a great wrestler! Dick Slater! Japanese guys like Tsuruta, Saito, Chono, and Misawa! The Von Erichs! Dusty and his kid! I’m the greatest wrestler in the world, so I’ll take’ em all, but Steve is gonna have to be patient.
BONI: Our cameras caught up with Dr. Death just moments after you regained the championship...He doesn’t look very patient!
VTR:
We are in a locker room. Steve Williams is kicking lockers! He grabs chairs and throws them!
DR. DEATH: What a crock of bull! I’m not puttin’ up with this crap!
Doc turns over a training table and stomps it! He glares into the camera! It’s a scary sight!
DR. DEATH: Rotunda, you and that floozy are gonna regret the day you met Dr. Death! I promise you that!
BONI: You’d better be watching for that guy!
ROTUNDA: Don’t worry about me, Boni Blackstone! Hey, good to see you, but this is my interview time!
Al Perez and Sheik Adnan are out here!
PEREZ: Hey, champ! No problem, buddy! The Sheik here has a business proposition for you!
ROTUNDA: We’ll see you later!
The heels leave together!
BONI: I have no idea what that was all about!

VTR:
Scotty the Body is standing in front of a swimming pool.

LANCE: I know that most of the fans watching this are fans of the Fantastics, but I give credit where it’s due- Baby Doll put Steve Keirn & Dennis Condrey together as a team and set a goal to be World Champions! The other night at the Mid-South Coliseum, they achieved their goal! Like it or not!
LES: They came, they saw, they conquered!
Baby Doll and her guys seem to be full of themselves. That combined with beating up Bobby and Tommy gets them plenty of heat at the Sportatorium!
NEW SENSATION (STEVE KEIRN & DENNIS CONDREY)(W/BABY DOLL) VS. THE BATTEN TWINS: Brad & Bart give the new champions a really good match tonight! Eventually, the champs isolate Bart and work on his leg.

As the music plays, Sir Oliver Humperdink leads his newest client to the ring! The announce team put over what huge star Rick Rude is and what a coup it was for SOH to sign him!
“RAVISHING” RICK RUDE (W/ SIR OLIVER HUMPERDINK) VS. GARY YOUNG: Young is a very capable wrestler, but Rude is too much. “The Ravishing One” nails a Rude Awakening neckbreaker and gets a convincing win. Then, he and Humperdink join Boni…
BONI: I would like to welcome Sir Oliver Humperdink and the newest addition to his stable, Ravishing Rick Rude! “The Model” Rick Martel and Scott “the Stud” Hall are here, too.
SOH: My, oh my, what a time we had in Memphis last week! The Model wiped the floor with Ronnie Garvin, every redneck’s favorite! Then, Ricky and the Stud left the Von Erichs for dead! That’s just the beginning! Am I right, Rick?
RUDE: First things first!
Rude grabs Boni and gives her a HUGE kiss as his cohorts applaud!
RUDE: Do you know why I did that?
BONI: (totally flabbergasted) N-n-no….
RUDE: Because I WANTED TO! I saw what I wanted and I took it! That’s what I’m gonna do from here on out!
SOH: That’s how the entire House of Humperdink will operate from here on out!
HALL: Sounds good to me!
MARTEL: I agree!
RUDE: Kerry, if you don’t like it, say the word and I’ll beat you up again! American Slob, Dusty Rhodes, same goes for you! You, too, Junkfood Hog! And Mikey Rotunda, you are a great champion, but take care of that belt, because as soon as I’m ready, I’ll take it! Same goes for Budro Landel and that hippie, Kevin Von Erich! Tito Santana, Dustin Rhodes, Eddy Guerrero, or anybody else! We’re gonna kick butts and take names! (to Boni) I’ll see you later, sweetie!
BONI: Well, I won’t ever forget that interview! More great wrestling coming up!
COMMERCIALS
EDDY GUERRERO & SAM HOUSTON VS. KEN RAPER & MIKE JACKSON: Two “young lions” here in the UWA team up here this week. Jackson’s speed makes things interesting, but in the end, Houston bulldogs Raper to set up a frog splash from Edy to get the 1-2-3!
VTR:
Dustin Rhodes stands in a blackened studio.
DUSTIN: Dickie Slater, the other night, the American Dream proved, once and for all, who the better man is! He kicked your booty all over Mempho, daddy! You knew you couldn’t handle him one on one! That’s why you had Bob Orton, Jr. standing by! You had to stack the odds, didn’t you? Well, I called up a buddy of mine from Tennessee! I want everybody to meet “White Lightnin’ “ Tim Horner! I tell ya how he got the nickname! My man has so much speed that he can turn out the lights switch and be under the covers before it gets dark! Tonight, it won’t be two of you against one Rhodes! Whie Lightnin’ and myself will take it to ya, right here tonight! In public if you weeel!
HORNER: I’m proud to stand by Dustin’s side and help him stand up for his family’s honor!
VTR:
Dick Slater and Bob Orton are seated in the locker room area.
SLATER: It’s no secret that Dusty Rhodes and I were once on better terms. We travelled up and down the road together. We partied together! We went fishing together. And yes, we’d play cards together! One thing I can tell you people is this: Dusty Rhodes is quite a poker player. I’d never play against him unless I had a really great hole card! And what whole card could be better than an ace?
ORTON: An ace in the hole! THE ACE!
SLATER: Now, it looks like the so called “American Dream”, the modern day John Wayne, can’t fight his own battles! He’s sending the boy and one of his idiot pals after us! Rhodes, we’re gonna bust your kid up tonight! I hear this Horner is from East Tennessee. Well, ask Les Thatcher what we do to people from East Tennessee!
ORTON: Rhodes, what we do to your punk son tonight is on your head! Horner, you should have stayed back home!
COMMERCIAL
BONI: I’m here with Junkyard Dog and three rising young stars of the UWA. You’re in an 8 man tag with these young men, JYD. It will be exciting to see you team with these great young wrestlers…
JYD: Boni, I’m really excited about the Ebony Experience! Like myself, they have risen from humble beginnings. They came from what people call the “wrong side of the tracks”! They wrote them off like they did me, but Booker T and Stevie Ray have risen above it all! Then, we have 2 Cold Scorpio. This young man is an amazing athlete. He can do things a normal man can’t even dream about! It is a pleasure to team with three young brothers like this!
BONI: I hear the music...it’s time for action!
JUNKYARD DOG, 2 COLD SCORPIO, & THE EBONY EXPERIENCE VS. PAT ROSE, HUSTLER RIP ROGERS, TERRANCE GARVIN, & TOM “ROCKY” STONE: JYD lets the youngsters carry most of the load and they are obviously great athletes with unlimited potential. They insist that the Dog get the pin which he does after hitting the Big Thump on Rose.
COMMERCIAL
DUSTIN RHODES & TIM HORNER VS. “THE ACE” BOR ORTON & DICK SLATER: Rhodes is obviously fired up and he kicks tail early on. Horner does well at first, but a mistake gives the heels the advantage. They dole out some serious punishment to the Tennesseean! Slater finally piledrivers Horner and gets the pin! Slater and Orton continue to punish Horner after the bell, but Dustin comes in, fist and fire! Rhodes knocks Slater out of the ring, but while on the floor, Slater grabs a folding chair, re-enters the ring, and nails Dustin with the chair! Slater sets the chair up. Slater and Ortonlift Dustin up and drop his midsection on the chair! That probably broke his ribs! Rhodes is writhing in pain on the mat, holding his mid section! They’ve hurt this kid really badly! Dusty rushes the ring, carrying a chair! Slater and Orton get out of Dodge! Dusty is almost in tears as he cradles his son’s head. This is terrible!
As medics load Dustin onto a gurney, Dusty grabs the ring mic…
RHODES: Dick Slater and Bob Orton! You scum! That’s my flesh and blood layin’ there! You two are gonna pay the price! There’s gonna be pain, blues, and agony comin’ down on you! I won’t rest until I put both of you in the hospital….OR THE GRAVEYARD, DADDY!
LANCE: Well, you start messing with a man’s family, you’re on thin ice!
MAGNUM: I’ve been Dusty’s friend for about 8 years. I’ve never seen him this way!
