Tenay, “Welcome to ‘Monday Night Thunder’! Dusty, what a night it’s going to be. What a main event, what a tag team match!”

Tenay, “The U.S. Champion, the Bossman, teams with Sabu to take on Sam Houston, and Dustin Rhodes, and the most interesting part may be the two women.”
Rhodes, “Devil Woman on one side, the Perfect 10, Baby Doll, on the other. The Dream knows them both, and they both will get involved.”
Tenay, “Let’s get things started!”
Match #1
Lanny Poffo vs. Don Muraco
Two veterans open the contest. Lanny still has speed and athleticism. He flys around the ring, and controls the early action. Muraco finally catches Poffo and starts to rough him up. Now Lanny is in trouble. Muraco continues to use his size and strength to take over. He wins with Hawai’ian hammer.
Winner- Don Muraco
Match #2
Billy Black vs. Rex King
Two evenly matched, talented, wrestlers meet in this one. Black starts quickly. He is a rugged cowboy, and he dishes out punishment. King won’t back down. He fires back, and now Rex has the edge. King goes for the sleeper, but Black gets to the ropes. We go back and forth until Black hits a moonsault for the win.
Winner- Billy Black
Match #3
Mr. Hughes vs. Jimmy Jack Funk
Two rugged brawlers meet here. This isn’t pretty, but it’s exciting. Both men throw big haymakers, and neither takes a step backwards. Things begin to go JJ’s way, and Mr. Hughes is backed into the corner. The Big Cat fights his way out of the corner. The intensity of the match increases. Both men end up on the arena floor. Referee Chad Patton begins to count. He reaches 10, both men are counted out.
Result- Double Count Out
Marc Lowrance is seated in the studio.
Lowrance, “Fans, we are all gearing up for ‘Spring Stampede’. We will be at the McNicholls Sports Arena in Denver, CO. The buzz about this show is getting louder and louder. I want to show you a video from ‘Western States Wrestling’. It’s from a venue I am very familiar with, the Sportatorium in Dallas, TX. You will hear Craig Johnson on the call.”
We see a six man tag team match from Western States Wrestling. The Western States Champion, Big John Hawk teams with Wild Bill Irwin and the One Man Gang. They are taking on Iceman King Parsons, Brickhouse Brown, and Kevin Von Erich. The action is fast and furious, and in the confusion, Kevin hits a flying body press on Hawk, and referee Rick Hazzard counts the fall. Kevin Von Erich has pinned the champion!
Lowrance, “Because of this the WWA and Western States Wrestling have gotten together and signed a title match for Spring Stampede, Kevin Von Erich will face the Western States Champion Big John Hawk.
Last week we learned that the World Tag Team Champions, the T-Rex Brothers, would defend the titles against the intergalactic Warriors.
We also learned that the World Title will be on the line. Yokozuna will defend against this man.”
We see the Patriot in an interview area.
Patriot, “Yokozuna, you come to this country, and begin to destroy American wrestlers. Well, those represent our country, but no one represents America more than the Patriot! The Rocky Mountains are some of the most beautiful landmarks of our country, and I’m coming to Denver to teach you a good, old, American lesson!”
Lowrance, “It looks like the Patriot is ready. He is in our next match.”
Match #4

He looks ready for the champion.

Woman, “Oh Marc, you’re so cute. Look at my men. The Bossman is the US Champion, and Kama is the most dangerous wrestler in the world. Dustin Rhodes, Sam Houston, you’re night is going to end badly, and Baby Doll, you’re no perfect 10, a one on a good night, that’s really dark.”
