Buddy Landell stands behind a craps table. Buddy is dressed in a tuxedo. His American Title belt is on the table.
LANDEL: Alright, Mama needs a new pair of high heels!
Landel rolls the dice.
LANDEL: Tito Santana, I hear there’s a match that they do around here and it’s called the DOOMSDAY DICE match! Here’s how it works: They come up with a list of matches and the list is numbered 2 through 12. There will be chain matches, “I Quit” matches, Hair matches, taped fist matches, you name it. You get to roll the dice. Whatever you roll, that’s the match you get from the list! (Landel picks up the dice and displays them to the camera) FRIGHT NIGHT, Tito, you and me...all you gotta do is roll them bones! Have you got the guts?
VTR:
Tito is in a locker room, microphone in hand.
TITO: You want a Doomday Dice match, Landel? You got it! I’ve been in that situation before! I want that belt back and you know it’s only a matter of time! It doesn’t matter what I roll, I’ll be ready! Texas Death! Chain match! Bunkhouse match! I’m ready for anything! And I promise all of my fans that I won’t let ‘em down! ARRIBA!
CUT BACK TO RINGSIDE
LANCE: Just when you thought FRIGHT NIGHT couldn’t get any better, they add that match and the son of a gun absolutely will not quit!
LES: I’m really looking forward to FRIGHT NIGHT. It’s gonna be a situation where anything can happen...and probably will!

COMMERCIAL
EDDY GUERRERO VS. NELSON ROYAL: A classic matchup of young up and comer against wily veteran. The commentary team use this opportunity to hype the junior heavyweight action in the UWA and this is a good example of what makes it so good. Royal plays the subtle heel and works on Eddy’s legs to try to slow him down. It worls for a while, but, in the end, Guerrero locks in the Gory Special for a submission victory.
Cut to the interview area…
BONI: I’m joined by Steve ”Dr. Death” Williams. Doc, I have to ask...what happened last week?
DR.DEATH: Boni, I was in my dressing room, minding my own business, waiting for time for my tag team match with my pal Flash as my partner. Next thing I know, I’m bleeding like a stuck pig and laying on the floor with Excedrin headache number 9! All I know is that Rotunda and Missy have some kind of deal with Sheik Adnan! If I have to go through Adnan’s freak show, one freak at a time, I’ll do it! Rotunda, it really doesn’t matter what you and Missy throw at me, I’ll get my title back! You can run, but you can’t hide!
BONI: You will take on Kokina at FRIGHT NIGHT! He’s close to 500 pounds. Is it even possible to give him the Stampede?
DR. DEATH: We’ll have to wait and see, won’t we?

BOTSWANA BEAST, “LATIN HEARTTHROB” AL PEREZ, & HEAD HUNTERS A & B(W/SHEIK ADNAN) VS. THE EAGLE, JIM POWERS, JERRY GREY, JOE CRUZ, & JIM POWERS: Adnan has four of his men in action in this match. The faces make it interesting for a while, but the Beast pins Cruz after a big splash.
COMMERCIAL
BONI: I’m here with a father/son combination that are in a war with Dick Slater, Bob Orton, & the mysterious Bonecrusher. Dusty, you and Dustin take on Slater and Orton in a double bullrope match at FRIGHT NIGHT!
DUSTY: (holds up bullrope) This here has been my specialty for many, many years! I originated this match and ain’t nobody any better at it than “the American Dram” Dusty Rhodes, you understand! I have taught my eldest son all about this bullrope! How you and use the rope to tie a man up, tangle him up, or choke him down! I taught him about the cowbell and how the sharp edges and cut a man to ribbons! How you can bang a man over the head with this here bell and knock him, daddy! Dickie Slater! Bobby Orton! You gave it your best effort, buit you couldn’t put us out! At FRIGHT NIGHT, we ain’t takin’ no more you understand, we gtonna be the ones dishin’ it out!You’re startin’ to call in reinforcements! Well, you gonna find out that you ain’t the only people ‘round here with a phone! I got a few friends, too, and I just made a long distance call!
BONI: Dustin, the Dream is the master of the bullrope, but you’ve never had a bullrope match, Are you nevous?
DUSTIN: Not at all, Boni! The Dream and I have worked out with this thing in the barn! Like he said, I know all the ins and outs! And I can’t wait to bust their heads with that cowbell! I hate walking around like a reject from and old black and white horror movie! I hate my ribs being taped up! Slater and Orton, payback is coming, boys!
BONI: Dusty, the Bonecrusher seems to have a grudge against you. Do you have any idea who he is?
DUSTY: Boni, beauty is only skin deep, but ugly is all the way to the bone! That mask ain’t nearly enough to disguise that no good egg sucking dog underneath it! I know him, I know his family, and I know that sooner or later, I’ll have to deal with him! Bonecrusher, you been tryin’ to git rid of Dusty Rhodes for years! You ain’t never got the job done before! What makes you think you can do it now?
DUSTIN: Boni, take my word for it! The American Dream is here to stay and so am I!
BONI: Two very determined men, Dusty and Dustin Rhodes!
COMMERCIAL
THE GREAT KOKINA(W/SHEIK ADNAN) VS. MIKE JACKSON, KEN RAPER, & JOSE LUIS RIVERA: Kokina looks awesome as he goes through three opponents like a hot knife through butter. After hitting a Samoan drop on each of his opponents, Kokina stacks them up like so much cord wood and pins all three simaltaneously. Magnum comments that his friend Steve Williams will have his hands full at FRIGHT NIGHT!

PERSONALITY PROFILE
Les Thatcher and Dusty Rhodes are in a control room setting.
LES: I’ve asked the American Dream to join me here tonight because nobody knows the subject of this profile better than Dusty Rhodes! Manny Fernandez stands 6 feet tall and weighs 250 pounds. Hea was born on July 27, 1954 in El Paso, Texas. After playing football at West Texas A&M and serving his country in the US Army, Manny trained for a wrestling career under the Funk family. Since his 1979 debut, the man they call “the Ragin’ Bull” has wrestled all over the world, finding success and winning titles everywhere he has gone. Many times, he has been the tag team partner of Dusty Rhodes and they are the best of friends. Manny combines martial arts skills with tremendous wresstling ability. His backhand chop has put down some of the toughest men in wrestling. His finishing move, called “the flying burrito” never fails to excite a crowd of wrestling fans. Dusty, do you have anything to add to that?
DUSTY: Just lemme say that “the American Dream” Dusty Rhodes has never known a greater friend than the Ragin’ Bull! When they started stackin’ the odds on Dustin and myself, I kinew that I need to call Manny! He’s on his way and here’s just a small preview of what the people here in the UWA can expect, baby!
As the music plays, we see footage of Manny Fernandez in action. Of course, the video makes him look like a world beater.
LES: “The Ragin’ Bull” Manny Fernadez, coming soon to the UWA!!!
COMMERCIAL
TITO SANTANA VS. FRANKIE DEFALCO: Tito looks primed and ready for the Doomsday Dice match as he dismantles DeFalco before putting him away with the figure four leglock.
COMMERCIAL
“MEGABUCKS’ MICHAEL ROTUNDA(W/MISSY HYATT) VS. RANDY ROSE: The World Champion takes on a very capable veteran as he prepares for Misawa’s upcoming challenge. Rose gives the champ a rugged test in this non-title bout that Rotunda wins with a rolling reverse. Then, Rotunda and Missy join Boni…
BONI: A great win for our Undisputed World Champion! You have a tough one coming up at FRIGHT NIGHT, on Halloween night, Japanese superstar, Mitsuharu Misawa!
MISSY: First of all, he’s not “our” World Champion! He’s my World Champion! Get that straight, Boni!
ROTUNDA: First of all, I’d like to say to the former Champion, my old friend Steve Williams, that he needs to concentrate on Kokina and stop worrying about my private business! Mr. Adnan and I have consulted on some foreign oil investments, but that’s my personal financial affairs and nothing for a goof like Dr. Death to worry about! If states like Oklahoma and Texas didn’t produce such an inferior product, I wouldn’t have to bother with such things!
Now, Misawa, you must be very nervous! You have to be wondering, will I succeed or will I fail? Will I lose face with the people of Japan? My countrymen are counting on me, will I let them down? Yes, yes, you will! Not many people get the opportunity to crush the hopes and dreams of on an entire nation, but on Halloween night, I’ll do exactly that! I’ll send you back to Tokyo empty handed and humiliated!
BONI: A very confident World Champion! Join us next week for more UWA FURY!!!
