Checkmate w/Prof. Malenko vs. Ted Allen
The masked solution to all of Professor Malenko’s problems worked at a break neck pace and took it to the former US Jr. Heavyweight Champion in the opening contest. Allen tried to rough it up, but the masked man was ready for that tactic as well. Checkmate finished Allen off after nailing him with the Cannonball diving flip from the top rope @ 9’31

‘Gorgeous’ Gary Young vs. ‘Georgia Bulldog’ Tony Zane
The former all-Southeastern Conference footballer is big, strong, and proved to be a tough test for the Gorgeous One. But Young showed quite the propensity for bending the rules without drawing attention to his actions and combined with his stiff striking makes him a handful for anyone in the Southeast and put Zane following a flying hammerlock @ 10’14

***VTR***
Anderson could make the cover here, but chooses to take the tape that Rose was using earlier and choke Rose with it! Ron West is letting this thing get carried away, but is able to take the tape from Anderson. Precious Pat is in awful shape as Double A pulls him to his feet, he cinches him up, and devastates Rose with his Ghordbuster Suplex to pick up the win @ 10’02
Out from the back comes the Tennessee Stud leading Jimmy Golden and Jerry Stubbs to the ring. Fuller has lost his top hat and cane, and is fit to be tied! Golden and Stubbs put a beating on Rose, and then under the direction of the Stud deliver not one, but TWO SPIKE PILEDRIVERS!!!
***End VTR***
Precious Pat Rose has not been heard from since last week, and one can only guess as to if or when we will be seeing him again here on Southeastern Championship Wrestling. Speaking of scary situations, last week here in Dothan, the Nightmares, Ken Wayne and Danny Davis made their return to the area after being unmasked on Thanksgiving Night. The Lightning Express suspected, and rightfully so, that they’d seen the last of the Nightmares, and in the act that possibly brought about their own nightmares and the return of Davis and Wayne.
Tim’s got the go ahead from his doctor’s, and I’ve got the go ahead from Tim. On Thanksgiving Night, the Lightning Express beat the Nightmares in their own match. I think that it’s about time we set the stakes. If Ken Wayne and Danny Davis have the guts, ya’ll take us on in a…
DOUBLE DOG COLLAR MATCH! Each of us put’s on a Dog Collar, and we hook em up to each other, and by God we fight til one man or team can’t take no more. We can fight anywhere in the building, no count-outs. We can use this here chain, or anything not nailed down, do disqualification. Pinfall or submission inside the ring. Fair and square. We’ll see if they have any guts or not, I’m not sure they’ll accept.’

Brad Armstrong vs. Jimmy Backlund
Brad came out firing on all cylinders in this one, but Jimmy Backlund proved why he is such a hot commodity in the wrestling world and tested Armstrong. But Backlund was unable to maintain his momentum and Brad battled back eventually catching Jimmy with his patent Side Russian Leg Sweep to pick up the victory @ 5’17

Non-Title
Alabama Heavyweight Champion Porkchop Cash vs. ‘Ragin Bull’ Randy Barber
The energetic, big “Choppa” delighted the crowd in Dothan with antics, but found the Bull in bad humor and ready for a fist fight. Unfortunately for Randy Barber, ole’ Porkchop don’t lose too many of those either and put one half of the most sought after tag team in tv wrestling today away with the big thump @ 4’43
After the contest the Champ was joined by his good friends ‘JYD’ Norvel Austin and ‘PYT’ Brickhouse Brown, and that duo has a tall order ahead of them tonight, taking on Arn Anderson and his new partner in the Dothan main event tonight, but Norvel and Bobby think the world of Brickhouse’s potential and ain’t none of these here boys scared of a fight, dey been doin dat dey whole lives. Dey seen what Anderson and the Tennessee Stud did to Pat Rose last week, and while Patsy mighta earned dat whoopin, da Stud Stable best know that dey can’t whoop the J-Y-D and the P-Y-T, no siree, and dats the way it be.

Josef and Dean Malenko vs. The Mighty Yankees
The Professor leads his wrestling machines to battle against Pinstripe and Big Blue, and while giving up the edge is size and strength, the Malenko’s prove their mastery of leverage and grappling as they physically dissect their opponents with little to no resistance. Josef locks the Big Blue Yankee in one of the most feared finisher’s in the sport, a hold invented by NWA Representative to the Southeast, the honorable Lou Thesz himself, the Step-over Toe-hold Facelock, the STF and picks up the submission victory @ 5’05

Southeastern Heavyweight Champion Austin Idol and the Tonga Kid
VS
Mr. Wrestling II and Jimmy Golden
Billy Joel's You May Be Right/Lunatic gets the Dothan crowd rocking as it leads the Champ and the Kid to the ring. This is a wild tag team encounter that saw four of the top singles stars in wrestling today go at it tooth and nail. Wrestling II and Golden worked very well as a tandem, their lust after the Boss’ gold certainly motivating them to weaken the champ. But the Tonga Kid has had a quiet rage building for weeks, screwed by Wrestling II and screwed by Jimmy Golden, the guy has never gotten his fair shot at the Southeastern Heavyweight strap, and he tears into Golden and II. TK plants II with a standing savate kick right to the mush! Jimmy Golden runs in to make the save, but gets cut off by Idol, who locks him in the dreaded Las Vegas Leglock!
Before the Tonga Kid could hook Wrestling II’s leg for the pinfall, Mr. Wrestling III and their newest associate, the massive Flame have hit the ring to cause a disqualification @ 10’19
Wrestling III and the Flame work over TK and the Champ while Golden and II regain their composure…

BONUS MATCH
1 Fall 30 Minute Time Limit

Scott Armstrong and Johnny Rich
VS
Mr. Wrestling III and the Flame
As the TV taping ended, with very little way to control the brawl, NWA Representative to the region, Mr. Lou Thesz grabbed the house mic and decided to let em fight it out, much to the delight of the crowd here in Dothan. Idol, Tonga, Golden, and II took themselves out of the equation battling all the way to the back, and these four eventually made it back to the ring, where a hotly contested tag team encounter followed. Scotty and Johnny have been running together for a year now and developed quite the tag team chemistry, which played to their advantage early on.
Mr. Wrestling II is obviously as good a coach as he claims to be because after only two weeks of running together, the Flame had acclimated with II and III seamlessly and has a renewed vigor about him. By far the largest man in the match, he uses his size to his advantage, but is also smart enough not to over extend himself, which was a glaring problem for him as a member of the Stud Stable. After having his mask loaded for him by Mr. Wrestling III, the Flame headbutted Johnny Rich into oblivion and made the cover. Referee Ronnie West refused to make the count though, as Scott Armstrong had made the blind tag, as the Flame spun around, it was too late, Scotty nailed him with a flying shoulder tackle from the top rope to pick up the hard earned victory @ 14’37

VS
The Nightmares
Billy Idol's Rebel Yell brings tot he ring the charismatic and energetic Tag Team Champs and in a tag team title match for the ages, Tom Prichard and Marty Jannetty proved to be everything they said they were as they took it too Ken Wayne and Danny Davis. But the longtime tag team standouts are resourceful, played the ref to their advantage, and kept their eyes on their partner’s back, keeping themselves in the contest, and waiting on the exuberance of the champions to cause a mistake. As Prichard and Jannetty set up Wayne for their Rebel Yell backdrop into powerbomb finisher, Wayne held on to Dr. Tom and turned the backdrop into a sunset flip picking up a near fall.
From there the Nightmares took it to Prichard like it’s never been taken to him before. They cut the ring off and kept the fresh man in the ring, using each nanosecond of the 5 count on entering and exiting the ring. Young Jannetty wasn’t doing his partner any favors, allowing Wayne and Davis to sucker him into the ring and allow them more double teaming opportunities. But Tom Prichard scratched and clawed and refused to be pinned here tonight.
That determination got Tom Prichard beaten bloody, but not defeated. The youngster showed the depths he was willing to go in order to keep his titles and was finally able to tag in his well rested partner who came in a house of fire. Dropkicks, back body drops, vertical suplexes, backdrop suplexes, and forearm shivers had Ken Wayne and Danny Davis bouncing around the ring like pinballs. Just when Jannetty apparently had things wrapped up, Wayne and Davis double teamed the youngster. With Prichard unable to assist his partner the Nightmares set Jannetty up for a double team Superplex from the top rope, but Jannetty reverses it into a sunset flip on Danny Davis, 1………2……
Who is that?

Brickhouse Brown and Norvel Austin
VS
Arn Anderson and his perfect partner
w/The Tennessee Stud
The JYD and the PYT are already in the ring as Led Zeppelin’s KASHMERE leads out Double A and his manager, the Tennessee Stud to ringside. Arn is all smiles and rubbing his palms together as is Fuller as Jimmy Page’s riffs blare, here comes Arn’s perfect partner….
MR. PERFECT JERRY STUBBS!
Stubbs and Anderson proved to be one of the best tag teams in the history of Southeastern Wrestling and reunited here today they haven’t missed a beat. Their tandem offense crisp, their psychology impeccable, and their abilities are immeasurable. What wasn’t accounted for was the grit and determination of Austin and Brown, who lived up to their promo from earlier and fought the Perfection Connection tooth and nail. The inexperience of Brickhouse proved to be the deciding factor though as Stubbs blocked his swinging neck breaker finisher, planted him with a shoulder breaker, and tagged in the closer, double A. before taking out Austin himself. As Anderson swaggered into the ring, he gave the throat slash, and then cinched up Brickhouse and finished him off with his devastating Ghordbuster front suplex to pick up the victory and loads of momentum @ 16’22
Working on it now.
