Jim Ross: “This is Jim Ross on location in Tennessee where I have been invited by Michael Hayes to a Thanksgiving dinner. Now the address I've been given, listed as Badstreet, Tennessee has lead me here to this HUGE house, look at all these motorcycles, motor homes, and Corvettes.
Jim knocks on the door. Michael Hayes opens it is wearing a apron and holding a bottle of Jack Daniels!
Hayes: “Welcome in Jimbo! Can ah offer y’all a beer? Come on in!
Jim declines the beer and enters the mansion. It is empty of furnishings but covered in towers of beer cans, whiskey bottles, and hot girls in bikinis! Lynyrd Skynyrd music is blaring!
Jim: "WOW, this is a huge place, Michael!
Michael: "NOTHING but the best for the Freebirds, Jim Ross! We love three things: money, partying, and kicking butt! And not in that order! And we all know the only things people from Louisiana know how to cook are crawl fish; Oklahoma are steaks, and Arkansaw? Hell ah aint never got a good meal in Arkansaw in mah life! But leave it to us Tennesseans to show y'all how to fry a proper Thanksgiving TURKEY!
Jim: “This is some celebration, Michael Hayes, but where are the other Freebirds?
Michael: “Well, Bamm Bamm is out back, lighting the turkey fyer!”
He opens the back window: "Hey hows it going out there, Bamm Bamm?
The camera pans to the back, where Terry Gordy is lighting a turkey fryer and giving the thumbs up!
Michael: “Buddy Jack is out getting the secret sauce, he should be here any minute. You sure y’all don't want a beer? How about a Jack and Coke, JR!
Jim: “Not while I'm on the clock, Michael, thank you. Now, for our fans watching at home on the Mid South Network, obviously its not Thanksgiving Day its the weekend before after all you have a big match coming Thanksgiving night, so let me ask why have I been invited here?
Michael: “So you are telling me that this broadcast will be shown AFTER mah match with Magnum TA?
Jim: “That would be correct.
Michael: “Well, good because ah want everyone to get a preview of what Magnum and all of Mid South Rassling will look like when I beat him, Terry out there beats Hacksaw Duggan and Buddy Jack Roberts beats Tiger Conway. . . . WAIT HERE IS THE MAN RAT NOW!
Buddy Jack pulls up in a monster pick up truck, and meets Michael and Terry outside the truck with two jugs of Moonshine!
Michael: “HAW, gosh dangit, Buddy Jack, I said to bring the SECRET SAUCE!
Buddy Jack: “Aw shucks, PS ah thought you said, 'LETS GET SAUCED!'
Terry and Michael: “AWWW, Buddy!
Michael: “Thats allright, pour the stuff on anyway!
Buddy Jack and Terry take the Moonshine, and head to the fryer!
Jim: “I'm not sure if thats such a great idea, fellas . . .
Buddy and Terry take a swig out of their jugs, then pour the moonshine on the fryer . . .
.
.
.
.
.
THE SMOKE CLEARS AND TERRY AND BUDDY JACK ARE ON THEIR GROUND, they both pick themselves up, see the burning turkey and HIGH FIVE EACH OTHER AND THEY LAUGH WITH MICHAEL HAYES!
Michael: "Jim Ross bring that camera over here, look at that burnt up turkey!
"THATS WHAT THE MID SOUTH IS GONNA LOOK LIKE WHEN ARE THROUGH! THATS A THANKSGIVING BIRD, FREEBIRD STYLE! MICHAEL RIPS OFF A LEG!
“Take a look Maggium TA! Take a look Hacksaw, Bill Watts, JYD, heck Ken Mantell if you and yer boys wanna piece too, THIS IS WHAT YOU GONNA LOOK LIKE! YOU PLAY WITH FIRE YOU GET BURNED, BUT IF YOU PLAY WITH THE FREEBIRDS, YOU GONNA BE BURNED TO A CRISP! Hey honey by the speakers . . . HIT IT!

LARRY SHARPE DEF. AL PEREZ
Jim Ross: “A disappointing loss for Al Perez here on Mid South Wrestling. Fans there is a wrestler who has been a man of mystery over the past several months and that is Junkyard Dog. Joel, I understand you met with JYD recently.
Joel: “I did Jim and I put the questions right to him.
Jim: “Lets go to that footage right now..

Joel Watts is sitting on a couch with Junkyard Dog, who is holding his toddler!
Joel: “Junkyard Dog, thank you for inviting Mid-South Wrestling Your home, and let me wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving.
JYD: “Same to you and the fans, Joel Watts. The Dawgs home is always open to the Watts family.
Joel: “I appreciate that JYD. Now, I think we know that Bill Watts is my father, but I am strictly a broadcaster, so if I may ask you how are negotiations for the contract extension going between you and Mid South Wrestling.
JYD: “Well, you know Joel, I'll be honest, not as well as I thought they would be. I have to say it is disappointing, I know Mid South Wrestling is a business and they need to make some money but I also have mouths to feed. So negotiations have been going slower than I has been hoping but hopefully they will turn around soon.
Joel: “I hope soon too JYD, and I think the fans do as well. But one question on the mind of many fans is what about Ken Mantell’s claims that he has offered you this big money contract.
JYD: “I loves the people and I would never lie to them. Yes, Ken Mantell has offered JYD lotsa lotsa money to join the Mantell Corporation. I don't mind tellin ya that if I said yes to Ken Mantell the Junkyard Dog would be a very very rich man.
“But that would also mean one thing: having to work with men like Ken Mantell . . . Angelo Mosca . . . .Bob Orton Jr . . . and Killer Khan. And for the amount of money ahm being offered, as much as it is, and how rich it would make JYD, that's something I could never ever see myself doing, EVER! I’ll take my chances with Bill Watts!
Joel: “PHEW! Well that's a relief to hear, JYD, but I think I speak for the fans when I say we would expect nothing less from a man of your character. Ladies and gentlemen, you just heard it, JYD dispels any rumors that he will be joining the Mantell Corporation. This is Joel Watts reporting, more Mid South Wrestling after this!
