Undisputed World Champion “Megabucks” Michael Rotunda (w/Missy Hyatt) pins a very game Tim Horner after an airplane spin.
Newcomer Dutch Mantel takes on Terrance Garvin. Mantel gets the pin after the MX. During a postmatch interview, Sheik Adnan, Al Perez, and Buddy Landel approach Dutch and Adnan makes him an offer to join his Army. Dutch says he doesn’t trust Landel, Perez, or Adnan! What’s more, he doesn’t like’em either! Mantel storms away as the fans cheer!
Boni Blackstone speaks with Landel, Perez, and Adnan. Landel gloats about still being American Champion. Boni asks about Landel’s relationship with Perez and Adnan. Buddy says he has always spent a lot of time in Miami, Al’s hometown. When he’s in Miami, he always parties with his best friend Al. Last time that he was in Miami, he noticed Al’s new car, new swimming pool, and the harem Adnan had gifted Perez! Al introduced Buddy to Sheik Adnan and the rest is history! Adnan’s brilliant mind came up with the plan to take care of Tito Santana at FRIGHT NIGHT! Now, Tito is gonna take another beating! And if Dutch Mantel doesn’t have the good sense to be on their side, he’ll get a beating, too!
Al Perez teams up with American Champion “Nature Boy” Buddy Landel(w/Sheik Adnan) to take on Tito Santana & Eddy Guerrero. Tito and Eddy give the heels a heck of a match, but Perez knocks out Tito with a foreign object and pins him to give his team a tainted win.
World Tag Team Champions New Sensation (w/Baby Doll) defeat Texas Rangers 1 & 2 with Keirn pinning #2 after a double DDT. After the match, the champs and their manager do an interview where they say that they are ready for any team in the world, inclusing the Fantstica or the Ebony Experience!
Ravishing Rick Rude is scheduled for an interview. As usual, Bill Watts steps in for Boni, but Rude tells Watts that he can hold his own microphone and tells the Cowboy to step aside! Rude says that for now, he stands alone! Rude says that at FRIGHT NIGHT, he showed the Von Erichs that he was a better man than either one of them and that he pinned the great Kerry Von Erich easily! Rude says he has two major goals to achieve during the last few months of ‘89: First, he wants Michael Rotunda’s Undisputed World Title! The #1 title in the world should be held by the #1 wrestler in the world and that’s Rick Rude! Just ask the Von Erich boys! Goal #2: He’s gonna take Michael Rotunda’s woman! He’s the sexiest man alive and he won’t settle for anything less than the sexiest woman alive!Rude says that he will be the wrestler of the 90’s and cary the sport into the 21st century and nobody can stop him! NOBODY!
Les says that after Rude’s comments, it seems like a good time for today’s Personality Profile. The subject is Missy Hyatt! Les runs down Missy’s background and gives a quick recap of her professional accomplishments. Then, we go to a video. It starts showing Missy sunbathing by a pool outside a mansion. Missy gets up and goes into the house. Next, wee see her in the houses’s study where she approaches Michael Rotunda with her hand out. Rotunda gives her a credit card. She holds out her hand again and Rotunda also givers her a large stack of bills! Then, the segment becomaes a music video (“Material Girl” by Madonna). Missy leaves the mansion in a red Porsche. We see Missy shopping for clothes, shoes, and jewelry at several expensive shops. We see Missy at a high end spa, receiving a massage, a manicure, and a pedicure. Missy’s next stop is a swanky restaurant where she meets Rotunda. They drink wine, eat expensive looking food, and feed each other strawberries. The final scene is Missy blowing a kiss toward the camera.
Boni interviews the Von Erich brothers. She asks Kevin about FRIGHT NIGHT and says that it looked like the brothers were having problames. Kevin tries to play it off as a misunderstanding and says there’s no problem that his family can’t figure out together. Kerry makes an announcement: Bill Watts has informed him that he is the #1 contender for Buddy Landel’s american Title and that Kerry will wrestle Landel for the belt at the next PPV! Kevin says that Kerry deserves the shot, but he’s really angry with Landel and not too happy with the Cowboy! Kevin says that he’s the two time TV Champion!He’s been petitioning for an American Title match ever since he regained the TV Title. Landel has been ducking him! Watts knows what the American Title means to his father and the entire family. Why didn’t Kevin get a title match? Kerry offers to step aside in favor of Kevin, but Kevin says that isn’t what he wants! Kevin stalks away! Kerry tells Buddy that he’s in serious trouble because the Modern Day Warrior is gonna kick his tail and take his belt! Boni says that it looks like the brothers aren’t getting along! Kerry says it’s nothing to worry about! But he looks troubled….
In a hard hitting bout, Steve “Dr. Death” Williams takes on Masahiro Chono. Chono makes things interesting, but ends up a victim of an Oklahoma Stampede and 1-2-3! After the match. they show a VTR of Papa Shango and he rambles on about hoodoo, dark magic, curses, etc. He says that Dr. Death will never be World Champion again. Sheik Adnan made a promise and he will fulfill it!
The Ebony Experience take on George South & Joe Cruz. Booker T and Stevie Ray get an impressive win Stevie pins Cruz after he and his brother hit a Harlem Hangover. Afterwards they join their mentor Junkyard Dog and Boni Blackstone. JYD talks about how proud he is of these two young men and says the sky is the limit for them. Stevie & Booker talk about how the Dog has really helped them as wrestlers and as men. Meeting JYD is the best thing that ever happened to them! They are interrupted by a tall man in a suit and cowboy hat. He introduces himself as “Tennessee Stud” Robert Fuller. Fuller says that he agrees that the sky is the limit for the Ebony Experience, but not with JYD guiding their careers! Fuller says he is a millionaire because of his highly successful wrestling career. JYD, on the other hand, was on the verge of checking into a homeless shelter when Booker T and Stevei Ray came along! Fuller says that his family basically invented tag team wrestling, but Dog really knows little to nothing about it! The Ebony Experience is a meal ticket to JYD, but to Fuller, they would be an investment. Fuller offers the Ebony Experience the opportunity of a lifetime! Stevie Ray and Booker T tell Fuller that they are sticking with JYD and for the Tennessee Stud to get lost! JYD, Booker T, and Stevie Ray have a group hug!
World Champion Michael Rotunda and Missy Hyatt do an interview. Rotunda says that at FRIGHT NIGHT, he gave Japan’s greatest athlete a wrestling lesson and now, it looks like he’ll have to give Rick Rude a wrestling lesson, too! Does Rude think he’s the only guy with big muscles and a big mouth who’s threatened to take away the title and steal Missy? Ask Dr. Death and Kerry Von Erich, just the top two names on a long list, who tried and failed! Missy tells Boni that a “little girl like you” wouldn’t understand what it’s like to have gorgeous men chasing after her and fighting over her. It’s just an everyday thing for Missy Hyatt!
Boni looks appropriately disgusted by all this and then informs the fans that a top superstar is returning to the UWA. We see a music video of Austin Idol( “Once Bitten, Twice Shy” by Great White).

Adnan and his men gang up on Williams until Misawa grabs a ringside chair and runs them off!

Cowboy Bill Watts that our next big PPV spectacular will be NEW YEARS NIGHTMARE on New Year’s Day, originating live from Kemper Arena in Kansas City! Rick Rude appears during this segment and says that he wants the championship match with Rotunda that he earned on Thanksgiving! Watts says that Rude, like it or not, will get the match!
Boni interviews Steve “Dr. Death” Williams. Steve says he doesn’t believe in voodoo, curses, or any other superstitious garbage, but he’s sick and tired of Papa Shango sticking his nose in Dr. Death’s business. Sooner or later, he’ll get rid of this reject from a freak show!
PERSONALITY PROFILE features the legendary Fritz Von Erich. After Les Thatcher reviews Fritz’s storied career, he interviews him about the deteriorating relationship between Kerry and Kevin. Fritz says it’s tearing him up. Thanksgiving was terrible at the Von Erich house this year! Kerry and Kevin stayed on opposite sides of the house and didn’t interact at all! Neither of the boys will discuss the situation with their old dad. Fritz is at his wit’s end!
We see the closing moments of the Fantastics defeating New Sensation for the World Tag Team Titles. Afterwards, we see a music video (“I’ll Be Thee For You” by Bon Jovi) that shows Bobby and Tommy celebrating with female fans at a dance club afterwards.
