Brian Lee and Tammy Fytch come to ringside to watch the match but are soon followed out there by Tony Anthony and the Dirty White Girl. Tracey climbs to the top turnbuckle ready to hit the jawjacker, when Lee gets on the apron about to interfere. The White Boy pulls him down and gets between him and the ring to make sure that there isn’t any. Smothers hits the jawjacker and becomes the new Beat the Champ TV titleholder. Short match, action was good although too short to amount to anything

[1993-12-11-SMW-TV] Dick Murdoch vignette / Interview: The Bullet
GSR replied to Loss's topic in December 1993
Jim Cornette’s got some comments from Dick Murdoch that he wants to play which he has sent in all the way from Colorado. Murdoch is sat outside drinking a Coors Light in the middle of a snow storm. He’s got two Texas ladies for company and has his shirt off (although it is still too hot for him!). Mama Cornette is paying him a lot of money to come out there, take that mask off and get Bob Armstrong suspended for life. He’s not going to do that, he’s going to torture him, brake bones and hurt him. He tells Armstrong to remember when they wrestled at the Orlando Sports Center all those years ago and he ruined his career; well he’s going to do it again in Tennessee. Mama Cornette is sending a limousine to pick them up, is flying them first class, champagne on ice and when they get there the beer will be flowing. It’s going to be pandemonium and mayhem because like that big, fat partner he used to have would say ‘it’s going to get funky like a monkey in Knoxville, TN’. Back in the studio and Bob Caudle says that while it may be ‘$5,000 vs the mask’ in most of the cities on the tour, that’s not the case Christmas night in Knoxville. Cornette is a bit taken aback by this and Caudle says they have a taped interview from The Bullet which will explain everything. The Bullet says it is either put up or shut up for him this Christmas. Jim Cornette has bought in Dick Murdoch who’s a big, bad man from Texas, but on Christmas night in Knoxville it’s not just the money they’re talking about. On Christmas night, besides the money, if he beats Dick Murdoch not only does Jim Cornette have to give him $5,000, but he also has to shave his head in the middle of the ring. They return to the studio and Cornette calls Dutch over to check the contract. He’s panicking and is not happy one bit, before asking Dutch if he’s got a lawyer in town? They can’t do this to him! How will everyone like it if he’s bald? Which to no surprise elicits a sizeable cheer from the audience. So The Bullet being unmasked and banned from Smoky Mountain Wrestling against Jim Cornette getting his head shaved? I have a feeling that this stipulation won’t be adhered to or they will worm their way out of it somehow. I agree with El-P that I've not enjoyed The Bullet stuff either, primarily in the way that he was introduced and there was no mystery, no intrigue it was just blatant from the off it was Armstrong (Armstrong is doing in an interview after visiting with the Board of Directors, leaves through a door, a matter of seconds later comes back out that door in exactly the same clothes and wearing a mask that doesn't conceal much). There was no suspension of disbelief whatsover and it just makes a mockery of things.- 8 replies

Solid match that goes longer than the norm for TV. With the faces on top, Cornette starts blowing the whistle which is a signal for the Moondogs to come out. They go straight after the Rock & Rolls and the four of them start brawling around the arena and all the way to the back The Bodies and Lee triple team Smothers until the Bruise Brothers make the save, and they start fighting with the Bodies and they go at it all the way back to the dressing room. This leaves Smothers and Lee all alone and Tracey puts him in the figure four as retribution for the leg injury he suffered at his hands. Fytch gets in the ring and nails Smothers in the back of the head with her loaded purse to break the hold. Lee goes to work on Smothers and climbs to the top turnbuckle when out comes Tony Anthony. He throws Lee off the top, clotheslines him over the ropes and Lee gets out of there as he wants no part of the Dirty White Boy. Smothers gets to his feet and the two of them stare at each other while Bob Caudle speculates as to whether the feud is over and whether they are going to shake hands. They continue to eyeball one another until Smothers just gets out the ring and leaves. They’re not friends yet! Great standoff at the end between the White Boy and Tracey while the match was more about furthering the respective feuds than anything else.

The twins are no longer coming out to the ‘Immigrant Song’ so a clear indicator they are now faces. After Prichard and one of the twins start fighting on the floor, Cornette gets involved and nails the Bruise Brother in the back with his rack. He doesn’t register the shot and turns his attention to his ex-manager. The distraction allows Prichard to hit the twin with a chair and then Cornette ties him to the ring post with some rope (although this was a struggle). The Bodies double team the other twin in the ring whilst Cornette gets some shots in on the tied up brother. He eventually frees himself, heads to the back and returns with a piece of wood that he breaks over Del Ray and Prichard’s heads. Despite the Bodies double teaming the twin inside the ring for over 90 seconds, it is only when the Bruise Brother uses the piece of wood does Mark Curtis call for the bell. I know it's almost sacrilege to criticise him but Mark Curtis really comes across as an idiot in an awful lot of the stuff that I have watched on the TV sets. This was a nothing match although there was nothing wrong with the match itself, it was there to just build for the ‘gang fight’ series on the Thanksgiving Thunder tour.

[1993-11-20-SMW-TV] Interview: Jim Cornette & The Moondogs
GSR replied to Loss's topic in November 1993
Jim Cornette & The Moondogs were fined $5,000 for what happened on TV last week, but all $5,000 is to him is a phonecall home to mother and she sent in a cheque and paid for the damage that the Moondogs did. Smoky Mountain Wrestling are once again trying to discriminate, trying to protect the Rock & Roll Express and the people they like. They dont want the Moondogs wrestling on TV and will even send in SMW security to prevent it from happening. Cornette says that they are going to laugh in the face of authority, they are going to ignore the TV ban that the Moondogs have on them and are going to the ring. Let security and the wrestlers come on out as he would love to see somebody try to get them to leave. Moondogs head in to the ring and its not long before security comes out to try and get them to leave, although Dutch says those guys couldnt even throw out his grandmother! The Dogs attack the security men and then a bunch of jobbers come out to get beaten up as well. Lots of trash can and stop sign shots to the head as per, but at least no full force chair shots like last week. The Rock & Roll Express eventually come to the ring to stop the attack and use the Dogs weapons against themselves. Its not long before they get the advantage back and go to work on the Rock & Rolls and they only finally stop and leave when Tim Horner and Tracey Smothers make the save. On the previous week's show the Dogs absolute destroyed two poor job guys and stiffed them with unprotected chair shots to the head, hard chair shots to the back, hit them over the head with trash cans and other weapons and just brutalized them. That beat down was on a par with what they were destroying in the USWA in 1992, although it would appear that someone told them to calm things a little, as this was almost like a watered down version.- 7 replies

Fytch goes off on the Dirty White Girl and says who does the Dirty White Boy think he is bringing that sleazy little tramp out here? She can’t believe that the Smoky Mountain Wrestling officials would even let someone as dirty and sleazy as that in the same building with her and she’s going to get a skin rash from the White Girl coming near and touching her. She’s the sleaziest, dirtiest little tramp she’s ever seen in her life. She’s a scumbag and a slut! The White Girl then runs out to get to Fytch charging towards her, but Lee almost loses her over the desk and drops her head first when he picks her up. Tony Anthony is out after her and he nails Lee allowing the White Girl to get free from his grasp and she chases Fytch to the back with Lee and Anthony in pursuit.

Lee comes out with his arm in a sling and Fytch says that Brian had an accident the other day and shattered his wrist into a million pieces. They have had x-rays, his arm is in a sling and doesn’t think he will be able to defend the title for another six to eight months. The Dirty White Boy tells her if she doesn’t think he’ll hit a cripple she’s wrong and then slugs Lee to get the match underway. Some brass knux fall out of the sling and the White Boy nails Lee with them. Fytch goes to spray something in his face but he grabs her arm and she ends up spraying Mark Curtis in the face instead and he takes a tumble out of the ring in a rather contrived spot. The White Boy starts to spank her but Lee makes the save and the two of them continue to fight until he knocks Anthony out with Tammy’s loaded handbag. Fytch starts slapping and choking him when out from the back comes the Dirty White Girl who takes a running dive at Tammy and tackles her. Lee rescues his manager and goes after the White Girl until the White Boy saves her from him.

[1993-11-06-SMW-TV] Interview: Jim Cornette & Heavenly Bodies
GSR replied to Loss's topic in November 1993
Cornette is sick and tired of the Bruise Brothers sticking their noses in their business just like they did earlier. He’s upset about this match they have against them at the Thanksgiving Thunder and that the promotion has already made the arrangements and it didn’t matter if they wanted to be in it or not. This match is a ‘Gang Fight match’, it’s no time limit, no DQ, anything goes, you come as you are, can wear what you want and can bring any weapon you want to bring, short of a knife or gun! That’s what has disturbed him as you never know what the Bruise Brothers may have up their sleeves. The most important rule of a ‘Gang Fight match’ though is that pinfalls don’t count and the match is only over when your opponent is flat on his face, out of it and can’t get back to his feet before the count of ten. The only purpose that the referee serves is to make that count and award the winners the match. The Bruise Brothers have backed them into a corner, they’re intimidating, big, strong and crazy, but their advantage is that the Bruise Brothers are just like these low down, white trash, hillbillies in Jellico. They identify with them, are just like them and are never going to be any better than them because there are always guys like Jim Cornette and the Heavenly Bodies to stop them. There really is no-one better than Cornette when it comes to these type of interviews and just explaining rules to the various stipulation matches. He can go long at times but he gets eveything over so clearly and concisely.- 6 replies

This week it’s ‘makeup’ and we’ll be amazed at how Tammy can make Margie into an acceptable human being, as if she can do it for her, there is hope for everyone at home too! First, before we get into any makeup tips we have to start with something that most people have never done before, and that’s wash your face. Tammy would normally use a gentle moisturizing cleanser, but in this case she’s going to use soap and some old fashioned scrubbing. Tammy is rather impressed with Margie’s ability to wash her face, but then clocks that she hasn’t shaved today! She advises all the girls that have a problem with beards like Margie that they need to use a lot of base makeup. Margie starts to apply it but Tammy thinks that they will need an economy sized tub instead and that Margie will also need a bit of practice at this! Fytch again at times seems as though she’s trying to stop herself laughing for real here.

They replay the video from last week of what happened with the Bruise Brothers and Jim Cornette isn’t happy at all. It’s not going to be too long before the Moondogs will be here and they’re going to take care of the Rock & Roll Express. They’ve a lot going on in the WWF and the Moondogs will make sure that they don’t have them hounding them every step of the way. Even though Smoky Mountain Wrestling wouldn’t license them, the Rock & Rolls didn’t want anyone to think that they weren’t courageous, that they were chicken, so have agreed to face them anyway and it’s going to be their funeral. He then tells the Bruise Brothers that they are ungrateful. He took them out of one of those biker bars in Florida, gave them a job when they didn’t have one, he raised them up from nothing to be stars in professional wrestling and then they backstab him and the Heavenly Bodies. If they had done their job properly with the Rock & Roll Express none of this would have ever happened. They are labour, he is management, and you don’t tell your boss what to do or embarrass him in public. The Bruise Brothers have a lesson in wrestling coming quick and then they’ll be back in those biker bars and the unemployment line. Bob Caudle can’t believe that Lee and Fytch turned on an old man like Ron Wright. Lee says that the Dirty White Boy can talk the talk but can’t walk the walk. He’s always going to do something, is always going to kick someone’s butt, but what happened? Brian Lee left him in a pile of blood with that old, bald headed, stupid goat lay next to him! Fytch says that there is one thing they’re going to miss though, and that’s Ronnie’s credit card. She’s so glad that they are rid of him as he was nothing but a nuisance and a pain in her neck. The White Boy then shows up all bandaged and nails Lee with a chair shot to the head. He tells Lee and Fytch that what they did to him has been done before but done better, but it made him sick to his stomach to see Ron Wright lay in that ring. He renounces his links to New York City and that Bucksnort’s Dirty White Boy is coming after Brian Lee, some dues are going to be paid and he’s the man who he has got to pay them to! Ladies and Gentleman the face turn is complete! The Dirty White Boy can project such intensity with his promos and he's on fire at the moment.

Chris Candido is down by the river and told everyone that when he won the US Jr. Heavyweight title he was going to throw it in the river where it belonged because he was shocked, amazed and disgusted that Smoky Mountain Wrestling refused to recognize his WWA World Championship, yet recognized that ugly piece of garbage. He’s beaten everyone in professional wrestling from Hulk Hogan to Ric Flair to Jushin Liger to JR Benson, and is now going to take this belt along with every other belt that he wins and throw them in the river. That way there will be other title to recognize in the sport of professional wrestling except his WWA World Heavyweight championship. He told that coward Bobby Blaze he could show up to watch, but he didn’t have enough guts. Just as he’s about to throw the belt into the river here comes Bobby Blaze. The two of them start fighting at the river bank and it ends up with Blaze being thrown into the river before chasing off after Candido. Blaze responds and what happened to him a few days ago was the most embarrassing and humiliating thing that has ever happened to him in his wrestling career. That US Jr. Heavyweight title was the first title that he ever won and it sickens him to see Chris Candido walking around with it and saying that it has no value whatsoever. He’s going to speak with some of the promoters in Smoky Mountain and see if they can come up with a way to embarrass Candido just like he did him. The Candido/Blaze feud has been a pleasant surprise whilst watching the weekly TV and the title change from the previous week was very good (and kinda suprised it didn;t make the Yearbook cut). The two of them busted out a bunch of 'modern' stuff that you wouldn't expect to see in SMW (crossbody off the top to the arena floor for one) and Candido just looks like the perfect opponent for Blaze. Fun segments.

This week she’s looking at diet and exercise and will be teaching the ladies (and some of the men) exercises so they can have a slim, sexy body just like hers. She knows that many of them are 100 - 125lbs over weight, but if they follow this program closely, they can look normal no matter how obese, gross and disgusting they may look now. Tammy is dressed in her workout gear and in the park with Margie ready to do some exercises. Before they can do any exercises she wants to know what Margie’s diet is like, ‘fried chicken, grits and hamburgers’, that explains a lot she responds! Tammy starts with some jumping jacks and high kicks, but when Margie has a go her enormous boobs start bouncing up and down and her shirt rides up exposing her belly! Tammy is not impressed with her poor form and decides to do some running on the spot instead. She tells Margie to run faster (your eyes are again drawn to Margie’s breasts), but she is out of breath very quickly and sits down on the floor. Tammy says that Margie is embarrassing her and is clearly losing all patience with her. She says there will be more Tammy’s Tips next week and promises to make something out of Margie yet, before kicking her over and she ends up rolling down the hill!

The fans are already cheering the Dirty White Boy who runs to the ring and the fight is on. Great brawl to start with the White Boy in full control and the tide only changes when Lee pushes Ron Wright into him. The Dirty White Boy is busted open after he gets posted and Lee then goes to work on him. Fytch gives Primetime the loaded glove, Anthony ducks a punch and hits the Bucksnort Blaster. As Mark Curtis goes to count the pin, Fytch sprays something in the White Boy’s eyes for the DQ. Lee nails the White Boy with the glove, BUT RON WRIGHT GETS OUT HIS WHEELCHAIR AND INTO THE RING! He gets in one great looking punch on Lee before he too falls victim to the loaded glove. Lee comes off the top turnbuckle twice to Wright’s leg and spits on them both as he and Tammy laugh as they leave them both laying in the ring. The bloodied Dirty White Boy crawls over to Wright, cradles his head and is in tears over what just happened. Very good match and an awesome angle. Considering how hated they were, they have done an incredible job in turning the Dirty White Boy and Ron Wright although a lot of credit does have to go to Brian Lee and Tammy Fytch.

This week Tammy is looking at ‘dining etiquette’ as although it probably hasn’t happened yet, one of these days ladies, before you die, you will be asked out by a man and he may want to take you out to dinner. She has told Margie that she is preparing chicken kiev, parsley potatoes, a vegetable medley and salad and she should be with her any minute. Margie turns up but couldn’t find any chicken so has bought deep fried chicken instead. Tammy isn’t impressed! Margie is struggling with what fork to use for her salad and when Tammy tells her to eat her chicken she picks it up with her hands and is then even more disgusted. She tells her that a lady never eats anything with her hands and you should always use a knife and fork. Margie then finds it tough to cut the chicken and Tammy says that a woman with her figure shouldn’t eat fried food anyway! Tammy is wonderful in these segments, so patronizing and condescending to everyone.

[1993-10-23-SMW-TV] Interview: Brian Lee & Tammy Fytch & Ron Wright
GSR replied to Loss's topic in October 1993
Tammy says that Ronnie has been such a sweetheart buying her all these gifts, diamonds, a new bracelet and a new necklace (all while Lee is flashing Wright’s credit card in the background again). They’re not really worried about the Dirty White Boy because they know how to treat Ronnie and he’s on new medication and feels better than ever before. Bob Caudle asks Wright if he misses the Dirty White Boy but Ron starts rambling and talking about his brother and the various titles he has won. He starts repeating himself and can’t remember things and it is as if he is losing his mind. As this is going on, Lee and Fytch are laughing and making faces behind his back as though their plan is working. Wright says he thinks he wants to go home, when out rushes the Dirty White Boy who says that he is taking him home with him. Fytch says Ronnie doesn’t want to go home with him and wants to go home with them (which he agrees with). The White Boy tells them if either of them hurt Wright in any way there will be hell to pay. This turn is being done so well and Lee and Fytch are coming across as the biggest pieces of shit you could imagine using and exploiting Wright like this.- 7 replies

So it turns out that the mysterious team who contacted the SMW Board of Directors were the Bruise Brothers as they thought the best way to prove they were up to the job was to go one on one with the Heavenly Bodies. They thought wrong and Cornette accused them of embarrassing him and if they pull another stunt like this they'll be back in those biker bars where he found them. One of the twins shoves Cornette down and he starts to apologise and says that he was out of order in the way that he spoke them. It was all a ruse though and he powders one of the twins before they triple team the other. When the twin gets his vision back they chase the Bodies and Cornette out the ring and to the back. Later one of the security guards comes out to Bob Caudle and Dutch Mantel and tells them that the fight is still going on and they’re killing each other back there. Almost immediately the Heavenly Bodies and Jim Cornette return to the arena with the Bruise Brothers chasing them. A bunch of jobbers try to separate them, but to no avail with Cornette attacking them with his racket. They brawl out into the parking lot but it’s dark and a struggle to make out what is going on, before the twins make their way back inside and over to Bob and Dutch. They say that they’re the best in professional wrestling and no-one talks to them like that. They might not be the best wrestlers, but no-one can stand toe to toe with them. Jim Cornette is going to learn that and if they get their hands on him they’re going to break him into a million pieces. Wild brawl and the Bruise Brothers looked real good in this. Not sure on them as faces, but a decent little promo from the twins and Cornette was excellent in the lead up to the split as you would expect from him.

[1993-10-16-SMW-TV] Rick & Scott Steiner vs Heavenly Bodies
GSR replied to Loss's topic in October 1993
The Steiners are accompanied by their pitbull Arnold who is a feisty thing (according to the Observer he legit bit both Cornette and Tom Prichard during the tour, which is no surprise in the slightest when you see him). Arnold is tied to the bottom turnbuckle and is at times in the ring as the action is going on, while the match is similar in places to their one at Summerslam. Del Ray ducks a clothesline from Scott and he hits Mark Curtis with it instead. Scott with a frankensteiner to Del Ray and he makes the cover (not sure why seeing only seconds earlier he had taken out Curtis and he was still laid out at this point). Cornette gets in the ring and nails Scott in the back with his tennis racket and then pulls Del Ray on top of him. He shakes Curtis to wake him up, who starts to count the fall but just as he is about hit the mat for the third time he spots the racket in the ring and stops. The Bodies double team Scott but Rick grabs the racket and starts hitting them with it. Cornette powders Rick and they go to work on him until Scott gets Arnold and he then clears the ring. The Bodies end up winning the match as the Steiners were DQ’d when Rick used the racket, although no idea therefore why Curtis either stopped the count or didn’t DQ the Bodies when he first saw the racket in the ring. This is followed by a studio interview and Cornette says how the Steiners thought that they were going to come to Smoky Mountain Wrestling and bring their big, bad reputation and take care of them, but they showed and handled them better than anyone else ever has. He can’t believe that the Rock & Roll Express are so consumed with jealousy that they’ve followed the Heavenly Bodies all the way to the WWF. The Rock & Roll Express, after all these years of never wanting to go to the WWF, all of a sudden now show up! It’s pure and simply to try and keep the Heavenly Bodies from getting what they want up there, just like they’re trying to keep them from getting what they want down here. He has made a few phone calls though and has a tag team coming to Smoky Mountain in the next few weeks that’s going to take care of them. They’re coming to Smoky Mountain Wrestling and they’re going to keep the Rock & Roll Express out of their hair so that they can go to the WWF and win the tag team titles there, and when they come back, there will be nothing left of Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson and they can pick up the SMW belts too. When Bob Caudle asks him about the Bruise Brothers he says that it’s not often he has failures, but he bought them in to do a job and they didn’t do that job correctly. When you don’t do a job correctly you get demoted and that’s where the Bruise Brothers are now, they’re still on probation and observing the top tag teams to learn what to do. Caudle tells him that a tag team has contacted SMW and have asked for, and received, a match against his men to determine who the number one contender’s are. Cornette tried to find out who it is but Caudle doesn’t know. He then decides that he doesn’t care who it is and this team has no business coming to Smoky Mountain, where they dominate, to demand anything much less be given a shot against them on TV. He keeps track of every top team in the world of wrestling and if it was anyone important he would know about it. It’s probably a couple of ‘Johnny come latelys’ and they’ll take care of them next week before going on to bigger things in the future.- 8 replies

Smothers with the jawjacker and Fytch puts Lee’s foot on the ropes. Sherri starts to stalk Tammy and Mark Curtis gets out of the ring to stop her. Lee with a DDT and then Fytch throws her bag to Primetime. Sherri has had enough and finally gets her hands on Fytch (to a great reaction). Smothers with a sleeper on Lee, but he nails him in the head with a foreign object he took from the bag and rolls him up for the pin. Sherri jumps on Primetime’s back after the match and just as he is about to hit her Tracey makes the save. The two of them fight again until Sherri slaps Lee and he rolls out of the ring. Bob Caudle says how the Dirty White Boy has said that he has earned a shot at the title, but Lee says that he’s the one who says whether you get a shot at the title not him. He’s just like Tracey Smothers, he should be picking tobacco or riding a tractor somewhere and should get out of professional wrestling. Maybe one day, if he five or ten minutes, he might give him a title shot, but right now he has bigger fish to fry. Fytch shows off the new dress that Ronnie has bought her and she says he’s showing his gratitude because they’re taking such good care of him. They’ve taken him into their home, they’re feeding him and clothing him because the Dirty White Boy couldn’t do the job. Fytch says that Ronnie has bought her this dress and a rolex all while Lee is flashing Wright’s credit card behind his back. Last night she was sat on tiger’s lap and he is just about to sign those adoption papers so she can become part of the family. Lee asks whether he is going to sign the will too, but Fytch cuts him off and tells him they’ll talk about that later.

Tammy knows that many people in the Smoky Mountain area are underprivileged, don’t know what it’s like to live in the big city, haven’t had the advantages that she has had and are poor. So she wants to do something to help them as she, like Hilary Clinton, strongly believes in charity work. Many people have come up to her and asked how can they be as beautiful as she is? Well she can’t work miracles but can give them the benefit of her knowledge on makeup, exercise, skin and nail care and social graces. In weeks to come she plans on taking a typical average woman from this area and transforming her into an acceptable human being. This week she will be looking at ‘skin and nail care’ and is joined by Margie who is 29 and from Norton, NC. Tammy isn’t happy that Margie is wearing black nail polish until she realises it’s not nail polish at all, and if from her job of weighing garbage. She decides to skip the nail care, but then is not impressed with the type of soap that Margie uses so decides to skip that too! She introduces Margie and everyone to the concept of deodorant and that people use it to help them from perspiring. She asks Margie if she’d like to use it, but she doesn’t appear to know what to do with it as she sprays it over her clothes. They move on to perfume (‘it helps you to keep smelling sweet and ladylike’) but Margie has never seen perfume before. She again tries to use it, but similar to the deodorant, sprays it under her arms and over her clothes. Tammy is exasperated (although appears to be trying not to laugh for real) and tells the ladies that these items are all available in stores, but doesn’t think you would be able to use food stamps to get them!

Dutch opens by recapping what happened in last week’s Robert Gibson vs Tony Anthony match and the post-match involving the Heavenly Bodies, Ricky Morton and Scott Armstrong. Gibson says that last week was a misunderstanding and all he saw was Scott stood over Ricky with a chair. He’s now seen the video and it wasn’t Scott at all who left him laying it was the Heavenly Bodies. Dutch continues to stir the pot and questions if the Rock & Rolls would be saying the same if Scott had levelled Ricky with that chair? Morton says that it is people like Dutch who turn friends against friends with their constant stirring (to which Dutch denies any knowledge of doing). At the Parade of Champions they’re having a match against the Armstrong’s and it’s going to be a clean match. It’ll be a hard fought match, but it’ll be a clean match and no-one like him is going to turn friends against friends.

The Heavenly Bodies and Jim Cornette come out to ringside during the TV title match. Cornette distracts Mark Curtis and the Bodies pull down the top rope and Gibson takes a fall over it to the floor. They roll him back into the ring and the Dirty White Boy covers him to once again be the Beat the Champ TV title holder. Ricky Morton runs out and attacks the Bodies until he gets overwhelmed and beaten down. Scott Armstrong comes out with a chair and sees off the Bodies and goes to check on Morton. Gibson comes round, sees Scott over Ricky with a chair and shoves him, thinking that he’s the one who attacked him. Scott tells him that he didn’t do anything as the two of them continue to argue. Trouble in the ranks indeed and the prospect about an Armstrong brothers heel turn is inviting, especially how much a revelation the brothers have been to me.

Before Dutch brings out Lee, Fytch and Ron Wright we get some more video comments from Sherri Martel. She says that Tammy Fytch has been known to interfere a little in Brian Lee’s matches and give him some type of glove. Well when she sees her at the Parade of Champions and shows her what wrestling is all about, the only thing she will want to do is go back to books at Wellesley College. When she gets through with her she’s not going to bother anyone in Smoky Mountain Wrestling ever again . I think this was the basic gist of what she was talking about as I thought the interview was all over the place talking about wearing gloves, the 4th of July, putting on bras and strutting around etc and not a patch on the one she cut last week. Back on the set and Dutch says that he’s nervous right now (about his prospects now that Cornette is no longer in charge). Fytch claims that Sherri is nothing but an ex-convict and that Tracey Smothers has less hair on his legs than she does! Sherri’s like a gorilla. She’s not a lady she’s a man, like a truck driver! She hates Tracey Smothers and hopes he gets into an accident and decapitated, then his head rolls down the road and a truck flattens it out! Lee tells her not to go worrying about an accident as next time Smothers steps in the ring with him it’ll be the biggest accident of his life. Dutch asks Ron how he is doing and just as he is about to answer Tammy pipes in and says he’s just fine, he looks healthy, is getting his medicine on time and is happy. Wright says that he is, but is wondering how the Dirty White Boy is doing as he hasn’t seen him in sometime. Tammy tells him not to worry about the Dirty White Boy as he is fine and that it’s now time for them to go

Candido has had to wrestle in a baby bonnet for a weeks as the conditions of a match he lost against Robbie Eagle (Tim Horner had interefered to get Candido DQ'd so that he lost the match and had to wear it). He was getting fed up with things, so with Cornette as Commissioner went to see him to see if there he was anything that he could do about it. Cornette makes a match for Candido with the Dark Secret and his as referee 'to make sure everything is above board and fair and square'. The two of them have the lightest match possible (almost a parody of a match), with Dutch selling it for all he's worth. Tim Horner joins Dutch on commentary and says that this is a travesty. Dutch tells him that he’s taking his livelihood into his own hands, he could be fines, suspended or even fired for coming out here unsolicited. Candido gets the ‘win’ and he can finally remove the baby bonnet. Cornette says that was the toughest match of Chris Candido’s career, but he finally got that baby bonnet off his head. He tells Horner that if he touches him he’ll fine him $50,000, but Horner says he’ll gladly pay that $50,000 (not sure how Horner has that kind of money!) and Cornette gets behind Candido again reiterating that was a legitimate match he just had. Les Thatcher interrupts them and he’s here on behalf of the SMW Board of Directors. The Directors have said that the TV tapings can’t continue like this and he has some special correspondence for Jim Cornette. Cornette and Candido think it’s a promotion, but he’s been impeached. ‘How can they impeach him, he’s the boss?’ Dutch says ‘no, no, no’ before quickly wondering if the letter says anything about him. Dutch are Cornette are great here.

Just something of note that I read from the Observer of this time, the two Black Ninja's were played by Larry Santo and Brian Armstrong respectively, so Brian ended up pinning his old man.

So Jim Cornette’s ‘secret weapon’ is just a generic masked man? After promising it could be anyone, including anyone from the WWF, this is an almighty anti-climax. The Bullet has the Ninja in a sleeper when Cornette gets in the ring and is about to hit him with the tennis racket, but Mark Curtis grabs it and stops him. Armstrong turns his focus to Cornette and puts him in the sleeper while the Ninja just walks round the ring and doesn’t appear to be overly concerned! Armstrong goes back to the Ninja and again puts him in the sleeper while Curtis tries to get Cornette out of the ring. A second Black Ninja shows up and comes off the top turnbuckle with a shot to Armstrong’s head. He rolls the original Ninja out the ring, makes the cover and Curtis counts the fall meaning Bullet Bob Armstrong must leave Smoky Mountain Wrestling forever. Cornette does address the Black Ninja in the follow up interview, pretty much saying that by him being this 'generic masked man' it meant he could swap and replace him during the match. Still doesn't get over the fact that it is a let down mind.
