COMMERCIAL BREAK
Match: MEB vs. Bob Brown
Referee: Sonny Myers
Last week the Sheik swore MEB would make a statement to the CSW fans. And today they do just that. "Bulldog" Bob Brown puts up a good fight early on, but when MEB takes control he dominates the old fossil and puts him down with the front powerslam which he follows up with a jumping Splash! He's not done yet and continues to put a hurting on the downed Brown while the fans boo! It takes several CSW officials and members of the enhancement roster to break it up.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Sheik Abdullah the Great is the the ring with that cur, that insolent ring announcer Terry Garvin! He warns him to be silent more than once as he delivers an address to the CSW fans on the domination of the area by his so-called Army! By men like the TV Champion, the monstrosity known as MEB! By the man with the plan T.G. Stone! The man who feels no pain Gypsy Joe! And the unpredictable "Captain" Luke Graham! Not to mention the man who holds this promotion hostage! A man we'll see here later tonight! The Central States Champion! YOUR Champion! The Iron Sheik! Garvin says he's not HIS Champion! Silence! MEB gives the announcer a warning shove and Terry backs off as Sheik Abdullah leads his menagerie from the ring.

The Uncle Toms! Tom Shaft and Tom Ivy don't have Little Jimmy with them tonight much to the dismay of the CSW fans. They did however bring alot of confidence as they talk about their defeat of the Central States Tag-Team Champions The Easy Riders last week! Sweet Christmas! Morris and Borne may've robbed them of 25 big ones, they may've destroyed Little Jimmy's dreams of a bike; but one thing they can't take away from them is their win over the Riders last week! And one thing they can take from "Killer" and "The Maniac" next week is them there Tag-Team Titles!
COMMERCIAL BREAK
The Grapplers are here to tell us the Uncle Toms aren't the only Tag-Team on the hunt for those Titles! And they don't care who they gotta go through, whether it's the Uncle Toms or the Easy Riders to get at them!
5-minute recap of the Grapplers defeat of the North/South Connection tandem of Jim Gorman and Paul Kelly who do almost as much arguing with one another as they do their opponents. That punk Kelly takes the loaded boot from Denton for the three count.
Kevin Wall then sends us to our next match with referee Tom Andrews.
Match: T.G. Stone vs. Brian Blair
This one doesn't even get underway when out from the back comes "The $25,000 Man" Koko B. Ware with Percy Pringle III! He's flashing some money, a little of which he gives to the crowd! Nah, just kidding! Mama didn't raise no fool! He does flash a few bills to T.G. Stone however, who after a couple seconds deliberation takes the money and a walk to the back! Koko has bought his way into the match!
He offers Brian Blair some green too! He wants him to lay down! Blair refuses however and smacks the money from Koko's hand! Ware looks pissed and the match gets underway. The men have a good back and forth going, but Koko B. Ware hits the Bank Buster for the Pinfall! He doesn't seem intent on breaking the bank however, instead looking to break Brian's head with a second Buster! Before he gets the chance however...
Missouri Champ and CSW Legend Harley Race charges down from the back and Koko drops Blair and heads out of the ring! Inside the ring Harley Race tells Koko and the fans he'll be giving Ware that Title shot he wanted and taking whatever is left of that $25,000 with him!
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Final advertisement and Kevin Wall is now with the Central States Champs The Easy Riders! They say that they don't care what the Uncle Toms or even those masked posers The Grapplers have ta say! Shaft and Ivy got lucky, damned lucky last week! And that won't be happening again! Cause next week they'll be sending the Toms back to the nursing home they escaped from, back in the Projects where they belong!
Kevin Wall then sends us to the main event which will run for the television time remaining, where your referee for this evening is Dave Nevins.
Main Event: Hacksaw Higgins & Sgt. Slaughter vs. Sheik Abdullah the Great
The Iron Sheik does most the work in this one and hammers it out with the Sarge early on. Both men hold their own, but Slaughter is looking for the tag after fighting his way out of the Camel Clutch with the CSW fans rallying him on! He gets the tag and in comes big Hacksaw Higgins who is charged up and drops Sheiky several times. The CSW Champ rallies back from it and brings the fight back to Higgins, but after before dropped face first on the corner turnbuckle by Hacksaw, Iron Sheik finally makes the tag to his partner!
Sheik Abdullah cheats alot, but mostly takes an ass whooping. He's good at that though and sells Higgins and Slaughter's offense. Abdullah wraps his turban around Hacksaw's head at one point and nearly scores the fall with a schoolboy! Nevins sees this however and throws the turban from the ring. Abdullah claims "this is an insult!" Higgins makes the tag to Slaughter! The Sarge pummels Sheiky who tries to get the tag, almost gets it, but comes up short!
Hacksaw Higgins is tagged back in, Sgt. Slaughter hits the Slaughter Cannon lariat on Iron Sheik when he tries to re-enter the ring knocking him off the apron and America's Heroes are marching about the ring! They drop the double elbows on Sheik Abdullah putting an end to his wailing and hooking the leg Hacksaw Higgins picks up the big win!
And we're outta time!
Working on it now.
