Mid-South Coliseum, Memphis, TN 

1) The Mongolian Stomper pinned The Dream Machine (w/ Porkchop Cash) at 7:45 with a boot to the chest. Porkchop was caught trying to interfere, and was then ordered to leave ringside. 

2) Billy Travis pinned Kendall Windham at 8:49 when he reversed a power-slam attempt into a small package. Windham was stunned after the match. 

3) Sweet Sensation (Stan Lane & Shawn Michaels) defeated The Nightmares (Ken Wayne & Danny Davis) at 12:13 when Lane hit the super kick on Davis. The Good Ol’ Boys came out and distracted The Nightmares by bullying Randy Hales at ringside. Sweet Sensation and The Nightmares ran off The Good Ol’ Boys after the match. 

4) CWA Heavyweight Champion Jake “The Snake” Roberts pinned Stomper Jr. at 7:13 when he connected with a DDT in a match that he completely dominated. 

INTERMISSION 

5) Tommy “Wildfire” Rich fought Rick Rude (w/ Jimmy Hart & Big Bubba Rogers) to a double disqualification at 15:05 when both men repeatedly ignored the referee’s instructions as they brawled around ringside. 

6) Southern Tag Team Champions Hot Stuff International (Eddie Gilbert & Rick Steiner) defeated The Rock n’ Roll Express (Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson) at 14:11 when Gilbert hit Gibson with the belt behind the referee’s back and then rolled up Robert as Steiner held off Morton. 

7) Jerry “The King” Lawler (w/ Bill Dundee) pinned ”Exotic” Adrian Street (w/ Miss Linda) at 15:21 when he came off the second rope with a flying fist drop. Lawler was in fighting form, and managed to overcome Miss Linda’s constant interference. The finish had Miss Linda get on the apron to yell at Lawler, only for The King to hurl Street right into her. Lawler then finished off the Exotic One. Jake “The Snake” Roberts was out after the match, and he just shook his head in disappointment.

I say again: I know Roberts is frustrated but he needs to let Street work it out on his own. Like the build going on for HSI and The Express. Could Stomper vs. Roberts be on the offering down the line. Enjoyed Kendall eating his words.

Good show.

Fun show. Really enjoyed the progression of the Rich/Rude and Hotstuff Int./RnR feuds, each are main event caliber feuds in their own right. Travis vs. Kendall have the makings of a fun feud that would prime a crowd. Good stuff here.

You seem to have your main event picture figured out for the next big stretch as Lawler has vowed to go through all of the people that put him out and with Dutch/Dundee pledging 'full support' him you just know that is a volatile situation that could splinter any number of ways given the past between Lawler and the two others involved. Add to that Lawler wanting to get back to the World Title picture and you could easily have your next year worth of angles planned out.
