SMW Slam #6 Knoxville Civic Auditorium Studio Taped on 4/24/26, Posted to Youtube on 5/30/26 Commissioner: “Wildfire” Tommy Rich On Commentary: Gene Jackson & Dr Tom Prichard Ring Announcer: Kyle Davis Backstage Interviewer: Linda Kay We get a cold open in which the new SMW Heavyweight Champion Richard Holiday is sitting in a beachchair under an umbrella. In the background, Alex Hammerstone can be seen flexing for the benefit of female beachgoers. Holiday takes a big sip of an obnoxiously colored beverage and addresses the camera. “Consumers…i know you were all excited to see your new Smoky Mountain Wrestling Heavyweight champion in person. I know you had the date circled on your calendar, you scrimped and saved every tip you got from the three jobs you work to barely get by. But alas, i must disappoint you. You see consumers, a prize like the SMW Heavyweight title (Holiday turns to another beachchair where the title belt is sitting on a pillow. Holiday fluffs the pillow before continuing) needs, nay demands proper presentation especially after undergoing a three decade hiatus. (In the background, Hammerstone is hit by a beachball. When the kids come to get it back, Hammerstone pops it with his bare hands and hands the now ruined ball back to the kids who leave dejected.) As such i am sparing no expense to give you, the faithful consumers of Smoky Mountain Wrestling, the championship presentation you deserve. Gourmet foods, the finest champagne and all the luxuries that…well let’s be honest none of you can even imagine. But that’s okay, because you won’t have to imagine when you are my honored guest for the big event next week.” Holiday reclines back in the chair with a contented sigh while Hammerstone runs across the beach to kick over a sandcastle to the delight of the ladies he’s been showing off for. We start with a video package showing some of the highlights of SMW’s original run followed by the new SMW intro set to Smoky Mountains by Conner Smith. Jackson & Prichard welcome everyone to the show going over the tournament matches that will be on today’s show. We then get the now standard SMW intro set to Smoky Mountains by Conner Smith. Jackson & Prichard welcome everyone to the show going over the matches that will be on today’s show, putting special emphasis on today's main event in which The Southern will face The Good Brothers in a rematch from a few weeks ago. Match #1 “Second to None” Tim Bosby defeats CJ Money w/Mama Money with the “Bos-plex” (Chaos Theory) SMW Commissioner “Wildfire” Tommy Rich joins Kyle Davis at the podium for the tag team title presentation. The Andersons come out, Arn included, to a major pop. Rich hands them the titles And after the obligatory “you deserve it” chant Arn cuts a promo saying how much pro wrestling has done for the Anderson family, how proud he is of both Brock & CW, Brock for carrying on the family legacy and CW for representing their family for over three decades at this point Match #2 “The Golden One” Cassandra Golden defeats “Deathbed Tease” Raven Black with the “Midas Touch” (Spear). Black is fuming as Golden celebrates with the fans. We get a VTR where a latina sits on a throne with a very recognizable title placed prominently on her lap. “Listen up, peasants of Smoky Mountain Wrestling for La Princessa has a royal proclamation. Next week you, the unwashed masses of Knoxville will finally have something to get excited about as the NWA World Women’s champion, “La Princessa” Tiffany Nieves graces a Smoky Mountain rin with her presence. And i expect a reception fit for royalty and an opponent worthy of the reatest NWA Women’s champion of all time. Get it? Got it? Bueno!” Main Event The Southern 6 (Kerry Morton & Alex Taylor) defeat The Good Brothers (Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows) when a pier-six brawl broke out and as the ref was attempting to restore order, NWA World Champion “The Thrill-Billy” Silas Mason rushed the ring and planted Anderson with the “Thrill Ride” (multiple rotation Black Hole Slam) allowing Taylor to get the pin. The show ends with the now fully assembled Southern 6 standing tall in the ring as commentary agree this means nothing good for SMW.

Orndorff shows Bullet Bob just how concerned he is over getting fined over the Piledriver. IRS is really on the warpath. I think Stunning Steve's announcement got under Dutch's skin a little. I'd be careful of taking it out of Ahmed if I were him. Great job hyping the tag title tournament.

Jammer should be careful putting out an open challenge. They tend to be a double edge sword. Blanchard & Rich announce their partnership with the intention to take down Muraco once and for all. Norton finally finds a worthy opponent for the arm wrestling challenge and he & Arcini hit the panic button. Idol reunites with the Superstar. Boss man gets his hands on Neil but the Hangman gets the last word. Hogan finally finds some serious backup in the form of Demolition.

We get off to a hot start with the return of Chicky Starr! Barr looks to be rather territorial over his finisher. Payne is back from suspension and has clearly learned...nothing. Los Boricuas had better get ready for RFamgage. The Iceman gets one more shot at Gamma. Canek & Mascaras could be sleeper favorites in the tag team battle royal at the Mecca. Colon proves he isn't afraid of Adnan's monster and has the PR faithful convinced he's the next world champ.

They're gonna have to reinforce the ring for the triple threat tag title match. Hall gets his biggest opportunity yet when he challenges for the world title. Race sends Kama to soften up Luger. Tenryu makes waves by revealing the International title.

Hart screws up big time allowing DK to move on. Taylor seemed to be looking to make a friend. Alas Andre wasn't interested. Slick Ric is headed to the semis. So much for Nailz' rehabilitation. A loss in the eight man sees the heels nearly come to blows. I know I wouldn't mind seeing Hart & Slick tussle. Andre is going into the finals with a lot left in the tank. Flair gets the win but Kid made him work for it. Earthquake ends Jimmy's night on a high note. The plot thickens as it turns out that the Taylor Made Man has a secret employer. Funk proves he's a man of his word as he prevents Lawler & the Genius from comiting a royal robbery. I don't know what Taylor thought he was doing but maybe he should've run it past Andre first? Regardless the nature Boy is the King of the Ring and now it's on to SummerSlam.

Titan defeats his most physically imposing challenger. Can anyone stop him? Like that you're already making plans for the next SNME. Warlord/JYD vs Power & Glory will be a fun attraction. A one eyed snake can til bite. I think someone is about to find that out the hard way. King of the Ring is gonna rock Baltimore.

12 hours on a farm is 12 too many for Tasha and she vents by firing all her men. Kinda feel sorry for the Pink Assassin as he really didn't screw up like the other two.

Tankman had the match won with the “Tankan Driver” but the ref was down from an earlier incident where Holiday pulled him in front of a charging Tankman. While Tankman was attempting to revive the ref, Alex Hammerstoner ran down and hit Tankman with a lariat before hitting him with the “Nightmare Pendulum" (Vertical Suplex Side Slam) then placing Holiday on top and reviving the ref to make a groggy three count.

Oh Hotbody is gonna be in such hot water next week.

Colon really picked the perfect time to call his shot cause now, he gets his big chance in Puerto Rico! Boss man & The Hangman are each out to prove they are the law in the AWA. TCW & the RPM's are headed for a violent blow-off. The Heavenly Bodies are duel champs and the good times are on. Chavo Classic lives up to the family creed. Payne is ready to debut his new single.

The rematch between Sid & Luger is gonna shake the foundation of WCW. The Natural eyes the US title while Rude looks to finally slay the Dragon. Doom is splitting apart at the worst possible time.

Gordy dropped bombs all over the place and he walked out the SMW Heavyweight champion. M Ron White stick his hand in the cookie jar one time too many. Orndorff couldn't resist the urge to use the Piledriver forever. The Wild Eyed Southern Boys make a powerful claim to being the top team of the territory.

Austin has cut ties with the last of his Idols. Icenman with that classic heel move, stealing the title he couldn't officially win. Colon follows up on his successful title retention by calling his shot for the world title. One errant punch makes the Heavenly Bodies double champions as well as the breakup of Garvin & Slater! Morrow and his goons once again put beat down on the Hulkster. Some quick thinking by Adnan keeps the title on his monster.
