Match 1
1 Fall 20 Minute Time Limit

Brickhouse Brown teamed up with Larry Hamilton and took on the tag team in High Demand across the country, Jimmy Backlund and ‘Ragin Bull’ Randy Barber in the opening contest. Brickhouse dominated the competition early on, but once he tagged out, it was a different story. Backlund and Barber were able to isolate Hamilton and after the Ragin Bull landed a massive belly to belly suplex, Backlund was able to put him away with a piledriver @ 10’51

Match 2
1 Fall 20 Minute Time Limit

Frankie ‘Thumper’ Lancaster and Nightmare Rapid hooked it up in the next contest and really matched up evenly. Rapid appeared to have a better wrestling pedigree, but the Thumper is the better athlete and stronger man. After a back and forth match up, Lancaster put the masked man away with his running Thumper Slam @ 9’16

Match 3
1 Fall 20 Minute Time Limit

LED ZEPPELIN’S BLACK DOG brought out Lil Miss Sunshine and the ‘Suicide Blonde’ Jack Victory who is meeting ‘Golden Boy’ Jerry Grey in a clash of styles. Grey has shown plenty of fight since returning to Alabama, but has been unable to put everything together and pick up many victories, on the other hand, the youngster Victory has really been coming on strong, and those trends continue once the Suicide Blonde connected with a diving knee drop across the forehead of the Golden Boy @ 13’13

Match 4
Special Attraction
1 Fall 30 Minute Time Limit

The Masked Assassins were waiting in the ring as ELO’S DON’T BRING ME DOWN led out Scott Armstrong and Johnny Rich, 2/3rds of RAT Patrol, Inc. Johnny and Scotty are on the hunt for some tag team title shots, as are the Assassins who love the role of spoiler, and are quite the assignment for anyone on the tag title hunt. After back and forth action, the Assassins appeared to have Armstrong right where they wanted him, until Assassin #1 mistimed his loaded mask headbutt, laid out his partner, and allowed Scotty to tag in the fresh and focused Johnny Rich. With #2 sidelined, Rich was able to keep #1 off balanced, and finished him off with the Lou Thesz press @ 19’44.

Match 5
1 Fall 30 Minute Time Limit

The first of two singles matches between the Lightning Express and Nightmares really tore the house down as Tim Horner and Flash went back and forth in a high paced, offensive minded encounter. The Nightmares have been vocally pissed off by the actions of Brad and Tim last week, and Flash really took out those frustrations here tonight. Horner was able to fight back and nearly take the victory after reversing an attempted suplex into a Brainbuster, but Flash was too close to the rope and saved himself. That is when Rapid snuck down the aisle and took the opportunity to pull the switcheroo with Flash and pick up the pinfall victory over Horner with a superplex @ 21’15

Match 6
1 Fall 30 Minute Time Limit

KISS’ GOD OF THUNDER brings out Nightmare Speed who must certainly be proud of himself after his buddies stole a victory from Timmy Horner. RUSH’S LIMELIGHT barely started playing before Brad Armstrong had rushed the ring and took the fight directly to Speed. Brad was really cooking here tonight, but Speed is a crafty one, and kept himself in the contest. When the Nightmares tried to pull the same trick on Brad they pulled on Horner, Armstrong was ready, and Tim Horner came down brawling to keep the switcheroo from happening, allowing Armstrong to pick up the victory with his side Russian legsweep @ 17’07

Semi-Final

1 Fall 60 Minute Time Limit

FOR THE SOUTHEASTERN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

LED ZEPPELIN’S KASHMERE rips and the champs, Arn Anderson and Pat Rose, along with their manager the Tennessee Stud make their way to the ring where the challengers, Brad and Bart Batten are already awaiting them. The Batten’s picked up this opportunity after securing a big upset over the Nightmares in their Alabama debut. As hard as they fought though, it became increasingly obvious that there was less magic in the air tonight. Anderson and Rose’s tag work was spot on and more than the up and coming Battens were ready for at this time. The Batten’s had a bit of late success as Precious Pat straddled himself in the corner missing an attempted Avalanche, but were unable to put Rose away when they had the opportunity. When Double A made his way into things he turned the tide and finished Brad off with his devastating Ghordbuster front suplex @ 20’02.

BATTLE ROYAL 

FOR THE SOUTHEASTERN HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

Participants: Mr. Wrestling II, his protégé III, Austin Idol, Jimmy Golden, The Tonga Kid, Mr. Perfect Jerry Stubbs, Bullet Bob Armstrong, Marty Jannetty, Jerry Oates, and Boomer T. Lynch.

We are down to Mr. Wrestling II, III who have paired off with Austin Idol, and Tonga Kid, and Jimmy Golden who is down in a neutral corner talking strategy with his cousin The Tennessee Stud. Idol plants Mr. Wrestling II with his version of the Million Dollar Knee lift, and Golden rushes him, tries to dump him! As Idol is holding on for dear life TONGA KID ELIMINATES III! Now TK turns his attention to Jimmy Golden, AND HERE COMES III back into the ring!

III dumps the Tonga Kid and Jimmy Golden over the top rope, delivers a knee lift and piledriver to Austin Idol, and then he and II dump Idol! Here comes The Tonga Kid and Jimmy Golden back into the ring and they take it to III, but here comes Mr. Wrestling II, after TK. And now Idol has reinserted himself into the equation. It’s already an all out brawl as the rest of the Stud Stable and RAT Patrol comes to the ring. The rest of the lockerroom finally emptied and broke up the melee.

Main Event 

1 Fall 60 Minute Time Limit 

FOR THE ALAMBAMA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP 

The challenger, ‘Gorgeous’ Gary Young is led to the ring by Lil Miss Sunshine as LED ZEPPELIN’S BLACK DOG blares for the second time tonight. Then PARLIAMENT FUNKADELIC’S ATOMIC DOG got the Civic Center crowd on their feet as the big Choppa and defending champion Porkchop Cash made his way out. The gorgeous one has been hot on the trail of Cash since his arrival in Alabama, and secured a pinfall on the champ in tag team action this past week. These two matched up well, and Young scored several near falls, but Porkchop was able to connect with the Butt Bump and a falling headbutt to secure the victory @ 12’29

[Chitohausen]

This was a great show.

I really enjoyed the Battle Royal, the bit at the end would have had the fans on the edge of their seats.

I big win for Porkchop Cash, I like him as Alabama Champion, although with the amount of talent in the promotion, he's going to have his work cut out for him trying to hang onto the title.

[thecommish]

It's a good thing Mark Nulty isn't around to tell you that titles shouldn't be decided in Battle Royals.

Seriously, that battle royal was insane. I think it raises more questions than it answered. Will that result stand? I'm excited to find out.

AA continues to shine in the midcard. You are doing well keeping him as a clear all-star without being in contention for the top singles belt yet.

[tlyne]

I like the battle royal for the title. It shouldn't be used a lot, you've opened up a lot avenues for the future. I, too, wonder how the titl picture will be cleared up. I really like the team of Anderson and Rose. I enjoy this promotion every week.

[jackknight]

Fun main event. Thought Young might've had Porkchop's number tonight. Really liked Brad Armstrong putting the stop to the Nightmare's ol' switcheroo too. Battle royal was definitely the highlight of the night. Love the dastardly duo of Mr. Wrestling I and II and how # 2 won things here tonight. I'm sure TK, Golden; and Idol didn't however. Look forward to seeing where that goes. Good show.
