Clips of a house show that is jip, from Johnson City, TN. Smothers is on the top turnbuckle when out comes Tony Anthony who nails him in the back with a chair. Sullivan goes to slam Smothers, but he cradles him up for the pin. The Dirty White Boy jumps Smothers after the match and the two of them go to work on him. Brian Lee makes the save and is just about handling them both when Smothers pass him the chair and they exit the ring sharpish. Lee goes over to Smothers, helps him up and then sits him in the chair raising his hand. All of a sudden he bounces off the ropes and takes Smothers’ head off with a clothesline. Lee puts the boots to him, hits a powerslam, comes off the top with a knee drop and spits on him. A second knee drop off the top and he continues the attack, leaving Smothers laying in the ring. Chip Kessler is then outside Brian Lee’s dressing room knocking on the door and trying to get some answers about what just happened. Lee opens the door and says ‘he’s tired of being a big man living in a little man’s shadow’, before slamming the door shut. In a matter of moments it is evident that Lee was horribly miscast as a face; the clothesline and subsequent beatdown were great. Bar Smothers interfering in his interview time on the previous episode of TV not overly sure what led to this turn, or maybe he just turns out to be Tammy Fytch's first client? Gives Smothers a new challenger after the Dirty White Boy although their rematch for the held up Heavyweight title appears to have been completely forgotten on TV, which is very uncharacteristic for this program.

House show footage from Pikesville, KY and The Bruise Brothers are revealed Cornette’s mystery team. Cornette is cutting a promo on them (that you can’t really here) and the Express are jumped from behind by the Brothers. Not really a match as they attack Mark Curtis early and get him out of there before putting a lengthy beat down on the Rock & Rolls. Tim Horner comes out and tries to help but doesn’t really get anywhere. He is followed by Steve & Scott Armstrong but one of the Bruise Brothers is wielding a chair and preventing them from getting in the ring. Tracey Smothers eventually comes out and with the numerical advantage they charge the ring and the Bruise Brothers stop the assault and leave. This is followed by a Rock & Roll Express dressing room interview and Ricky is all bloody and says that he has never seen a tag team like that since the Road Warriors in the 1980s. He tells Cornette that his mystery team maybe be and bad and they may have their backs against the wall, but next time they’re coming out fighting. They don’t care what it takes anymore, so bring your mystery team because the Rock & Roll Express is here to stay, not here to play! Good fired up promo from Morton here and one thing watching the set was I never realised how good a promo he is. The length of the beatdown wasn't an issue for me, I just think the problem was the houseshow filming and that the camera was so far away. It wasn'y anywhere near as the Rage in the Cage beatdown on Bob Armstrong that I thought was unnecessarily long and overdone.

Dutch says that although they haven’t seen eye to eye recently, it was a masterpiece the way that they got to Bob Armstrong. Cornette says that Dutch has always been cunning, devious, underhanded and dishonest and he admires a man who is good at what he does, so he doesn’t have a problem with him either. He knows that Bob Armstrong has sent another video in and he wants to hear what old man Methuselah has to say. Bob is in Armstrong’s Avenue, the gym that he built over the years and where he is spending most of his time at the moment. His application to be a wrestler has been accepted and he has received the license that allows him to manage and wrestle in Smoky Mountain Wrestling. Steve and Scott have been doing the best they can against the Heavenly Bodies, he trained them in Armstrong’s Avenue and they know how to go hard and fight hard. For every lick Cornette gave him he’s going to get one back, he won’t be chained up this time and as much as he beat him, as much as he hurt him, what hurt him more was calling his son Brian a deserter. He was afraid that his son wouldn’t come back, but he did, gets out of the Marine Corps in June and that will be hear before you know it. He says that he is building an Army, he’s the general of it and is taking new recruits every day. He is working out harder and harder each day and is going to issue more pain than any human has ever had to endure to Cornette. Back in the studio and Cornette says that they have already proven ‘Bullet’ Bob Armstrong is shooting blanks, he is finished and was beaten up like nobody has ever beaten him up before by Jim Cornette! His boys are totally ineffective, they can’t stop the Heavenly Bodies, his mystery team are going to run rough shot over everyone and the fact is that Jim Cornette rules Smoky Mountain Wrestling. He says that Jimmy Del Ray is the greatest natural athlete that he’s ever seen in his life, if he doesn’t rival Bobby Eaton, he bests him. He’s been training down in Florida for four years where they kept him a secret, because one day they knew they would need a secret weapon, an ace in the hole. He has been supporting himself as a gigolo there and the Armstrong women have got wind of this. Scott Armstrong’s girlfriend even wrote him a letter which he has with him today: ‘Dear Gigolo Jimmy, Every time Scott leaves the house I call you but you never answer. I will leave him anytime you say, nobody has ever **** (they’re not allowed to say that word on TV!) like you did it. I love you Gigolo’. The Armstrong’s race out from the dressing room and Cornette and the Bodies flee the ring. Dutch does an about turn and says that he didn’t like what Del Ray just did, he thinks it’s despicable and it’s despicable what they did to Bob Armstrong too. Scott says that all Cornette and he need to know is that bob Armstrong is getting better every day and is going to be coming back to Smoky Mountain Wrestling. Tremendous stuff from Bullet Bob and this brief period after Scott unmasked has been the best I have ever seen him. -
Clip of a House show from Morristown, TN. The Dirty White Boy nails Horner with a chain for the DQ and this brings Smothers into the ring. Cornette powders Smothers and he and the White Boy leave as Tracey starts swinging wildly unable to see. As Horner comes over to check on him he swings, knocks him down, then gets on top and starts punching him some more. The two of them roll around on the canvas and the Rock & Roll Express run out from the back to try and separate them. Ricky Morton hands Smothers a towel to try and wipe away the powder and only then does he realise what’s happened. He goes over to Horner to try and apologize, but he is reluctant to accept it and is upset over what’s just happened) We then get a dressing room interview with the two of them and Smothers said what happened wasn’t intentional, he got powder thrown in his eyes and all of a sudden there are people hitting him. Horner questions how come he didn’t know it was him? Smothers said he had powder in his eyes and couldn’t see, it wasn’t intentional and he didn’t know it was him. Horner says that Ricky and Robert said something similar to him so maybe he’s right? I can understand Smothers slugging Horner the once, but it is a stretch things to believe that he didn't know it was Horner when he was on top of him and then when they were rolling round on the canvas. They have been hinting at a Horner heel turn since he caused the SMW title to be held up in the Coward Waves the Flag match and after having watched him for well over a year as a face, I think it would be for the best and would certainly make him more interesting (I at least hope!).

Adrian Street tells the following tale on his Shoot Interview with RF, but have found it online too: Adrian Street: "Do you know the story of when Les got his hand bit? He was talking to a friend of his on the farm, feeding the hogs, and this big old boar bit him on the hand. He got an infection and his hand swelled up like a boxing glove. Instead of going to the doctor’s like a normal person, he was wrestling that night so he went to the show. In the dressing room, the guy he’s wrestling with says “Don’t go in the ring and wrestle like that”. Les goes “Yes… yes, I think you’re onto something there. I can’t go in the ring and wrestle like that. So what I’m gonna do to get rid of the poison is put my hand here, on the ground, and I want you to stamp on it.” “Oh, I can’t do that Les” “But you’ve told me, and I agreed, that I can’t go in the ring like this. So stamp on it, or I’ll stamp on you.” So this other wrestler stamps down, hard, on his hand, and all this blood and poison and pus comes shooting out of it. This is in full view of the other wrestlers. He had to be the centre of attention did Les”

Morton says for the last seven years they’ve been trying to get rid of the Midnight Express and then the Heavenly Bodies and after all the blood, sweat and tears, Stan Lane is out of here. Dutch tells them to hold on as there is a new, big team being bought into the area by Jim Cornette and he is keeping their identity a secret. He says they can be 300lbs, they can be known all over the world and while there is nothing they can do about Cornette bringing them in to jump on them, there is a lot they can do about getting them off. They are then joined by Tammy Fytch (‘with an L’) and she says that now they have won the tag team titles they need someone to manage them, preferably with a good business mind because they clearly don’t know much about business. ‘Rock & Roll is out, Rap is in!’ She says just sign a contract with her and with her brains. Knowledge and business mind she will take them all the way to the top. Dutch reminds the Rock & Rolls that her idol is Hilary Clinton; she took a nobody all the way to the White House and he thinks she may do a lot of good for them. They turn her down and when Dutch asks her what she thinks of that she tells him to shut up and storms off.

Bob is out in the back garden and looks in great physical shape. His wrist is better, but he still has to wear the support for his ribs. Soon the Armstrong Army will be full and Jim Cornette is going to pay the ultimate price because he will not rest until he gets him if it's the last thing he does. He is healing every day and can't wait to start training because when he does, he'll be thinking of one man.

The Heavenly Bodies and Jim Cornette are out for an interview and Bob Caudle opens by playing a video from Bob Armstrong who is at home and flanked by his sons, Scott and Steve. He says that it's an Armstrong tradition that they pay their debts and he owes Cornette plenty. In over twenty years he's never taken a beating like he did in Knoxville, his ribs are cracked, his sternum is cracked and the handcuffs cracked his wrist. All he's got to do is wait and heal up and there are enough of us Armstrongs to make an army. His Mama can't pay her way out of this as there isn't enough money to buy him and his boys. He's resigning as Commissioner of Smoky Mountain Wrestling, but along with that resignation letter will be a letter of application as he wants to be a wrestler. This isn't going unpaid, Cornette may be laughing now, but he'll have the last laugh and will see him sooner than he thinks. Cornette is in the studio laughing at Armstrong and says he's never had a beating like that because he's never come across a real man like Jim Cornette and the Heavenly Bodies. Armstrong is no longer Commissioner and he was hospitalized at his hands; he got what he wanted and got even for all those times that he stacked the decks against them. The only satisfaction he got was at the Last Tango in Tennessee the Rock & Roll Express came out on top and Stan Lane was sent packing, but he has pulled the rug out from under him and put together the ultimate Heavenly Bodies combination. Prichard introduces his cousin, 'Gigolo' Jimmy Del Ray, and says that he is happy that he gets to make his professional wrestling debut alongside him. He has been training in Palm Beach for the past four years with the best, waiting for an opening and opportunity which has now arrived. Cornette warns Steve & Scott to come on with their vengeance and vendetta as he's got something waiting for them in the form of the Heavenly Bodies and this time they will rule Smoky Mountain Wrestling.

It actually aired on this very episode of SMW TV (5/22) and Gibson pinned Lane after a leglock/bridge combination. I know the Yearbooks can't air everything but when watching the season sets and comparing them to what made the cut, it's strange that this was omitted (the match was jip on TV anyway) after the build up it had received. The Anderson debut and Bob Armstrong discovering that Eaton was still under contract to WCW and he would be gone as soon as he lost the Beat the Champ title were other odd omissions.

Cornette says that Bob Armstrong has gone way too far this time. Ever since day one he's been against him, the Heavenly Bodies, everything he's tried to do and has done his best to try and run him out of Smoky Mountain Wrestling. That's okay because he's done the same to try and get him unseated as Commissioner. He is ashamed that Smoky Mountain has a stinking old redneck like him running it, but he's not the only one who is ashamed of him, even his own family is. He then says that Dixie Dy-No-Mite is Scott Armstrong, his own son and he's so afraid of him that he wears a mask to cover his face! He's ashamed to be a member of the Armstrong family, is ashamed to be associated with a crook like Bob Armstrong so wears a mask over his face like a criminal. Dixie then comes out, says he's ashamed of nothing and pulls his mask off. He's not afraid of his father, he loves him and the reason he wore the mask was to stop people like him running to the promotion claiming he was getting favouritism. He didn't want any favouritism off anyone, so wore that mask because he loves him. Bob Armstrong then comes out and tells Cornette not to talk about his family or these fans and if he's got something to say, have a little guts and say it to his face. Cornette says that Armstrong is the lowest form of human he's ever know, he says he's the Commissioner, he makes all these rules and tells people what to do. He's been trying to screw him since day one, but it hasn't worked and never will. He says he's like a drill Sergeant hiding behind his stripes, a police officer hiding behind his badge, he's got that Commissioner's tie on and is hiding behind that. Bob says that if the tie is bothering him so much let him solve the problem, and he pulls off the tie, unbuttons his shirt and tells him if he's got anything else to say lets hear it. Cornette tells him he that he's gone too far and it's the last time he'll try to best him. He then starts talking about his family again and when he refers to Brian as 'the World's biggest deserter' it is a step too far. Armstrong grabs him by the shirt and warns him that if he ever says anything about his family again he will knock him out. Cornette puts his hand on his shoulder, says that he can't talk to him like that and then he slugs him, knocking him to the floor. Incredible segment and another master class from Cornette. He doesn't give himself a nosebleed like a promo last year, but works himself into a sweat and the intensity is off the chart. Bullet Bob is amazing and the coup de grace is him finally levelling Cornette. Even Scott more than holds up his own here. Must see segment and angle,

Sullivan is tied to some trees in the crucifixion position and is wailing. He wanted to change, he wanted to be good, but they're sending him into a cage, the Rage in the Cage, so how can he be good? He went back to the valley of the Abbuda Dein and he's strapped himself to the tree of woe. The buzzards have been flying all night and the vultures have been plucking at his chest looking for weakness because the Nightstalker turned his back on him. He says that he was on the line of maybe being a good boy, but there is no goodness in his heart, it is black. He has laid with lepers, dined with beggars, gone to the valley of the dead, bathed in the River Ganges and has got rid of all the niceness that the Doctor tried to instil in him. He tells Commissioner Armstrong he may have been cured at one time, but he's the one that drove him back over the edge. He's gone to the Seventh Pyramid and walked up the 13 flights, he's dined with the Lady of the Third Eye (and enjoyed it immensely), so put him in a cage for the Rage in the Cage and all hell is going to break loose. Probably one of my favourite Sullivan promos so far and almost straight out of a horror movie. Sullivan, strapped to the trees, wailing and with his promo comes across as a complete maniac. He's not much when the matches get going, but I doubt there is anyone better and more believable at convincing you they are a legitimate mad man.

This is a great point. It was pretty simple but a great way to make things very interesting without needing to do anything spectacular. Meanwhile, this Sullivan stuff is great and his madness here doesn't seem too over the top or outrageous at all. Apparently Nighstalker turned on him? It happened at the Bluegrass Brawl Singapore Spike match between Sullivan and Brian Lee. The Nightstalker was holding Lee and Sullivan went to punch him, Lee moved and he hit the Nightstalker instead. The Nightstalker then got hold of the Singapore Spike and was reluctant to give it to Sullivan and that led to Lee rolling The Master up from behind for the win. After the match Sullivan started berating and slapping the Nightstalker (who was still handcuffed to the ring post at this point - part of the ruling of the Singapore Spike match) before attacking him with a chair. When the Nightstalker was finally released from the ring post Sullivan fled and the turn was complete. I mentioned elsewhere that it was a shame that around a month later the Nightstalker was out of here and Adam Bomb in the WWF, as I reckon he could have easily been one of the top two faces here, especially with the way the crowd react to him after the turn.

Eaton takes a great bump outside the ring from a Lee body check before taking a backdrop on the gym floor. He avoids a crossbody off the top and lays a few shots in on Lee before whipping him into the ropes. Lee ducks an Eaton clothesline and comes back with one of his own to score the pin, become the new Beat the Champ TV title and send Eaton packing to WCW (Bob Armstrong had found out that he never got his release and the moment he lost the TV title he was sending him back there). Cornette shoves Lee after the match, who then grabs him by the neck and takes him down but Eaton whacks him in the back with the racket. The Heavenly Bodies come out and they all go to work on Lee while Cornette throws Mark Curtis out of the ring. The Rock & Roll Express make the save and Cornette calls for more back up in the shape of Killer Kyle. Cornette's team do a number on the faces with Cornette himself getting involved, putting the boots to Ricky Morton and with liberal use of the tennis racket too. Things are hotting up for the Rage in the Cage!

Observer HOF prediction/ballot question thread
GSR replied to dkookypunk43's topic in Megathread archive
Nakamura is puzzling. It's weird to see all those people voting in Japan for him but not Akiyama or Taue. The lucha contingent got a small victory as the numbers of Villano III are some sort of a miracle (I was expecting him to drop off forever) and him, Misioneros and Cien Caras would have all probably been in if Aguayo hadn't had such huge support from people that probably only voted for him. It's possible that some or all of them will get in next year (it all will depend of Mistico's support). Madden was someone who's ballot was made public and he only voted for Aguayo in the Lucha category, no-one else. If he did that, you can bet your bottom dollar that there will be more who did the same thing. -
Dutch says that a lot of people think Kevin Sullivan is sick, but he just thinks that he is misunderstood. They then sit down in the ring for another psychiatric session and Dr Dutch does a little word association with Sullivan. Dr Dutch says words like 'butterflies' and 'flowers' and Sullivan has evil thoughts, when he says 'cage' he has peaceful thoughts, but when he says 'Rage in the Cage', those peaceful thoughts turn to evil. Dutch asks him how he intends to deal with a man like the Nightstalker who betrayed him, and he tells him to remember that 'he's The Master, and you're the pupil'. I'm interested to see where Sullivan is going here because within a month Nightstalker is Adam Bomb in the WWF and he could very well be in limbo. I thought Nightstalker had a ton of potential here as a top face with his size, look and athletic ability (he does the standing vertical leap from ringside to the apron). They produced a good music video (set to War Machine by KISS) and there is an episode of Down & Dirty with him where Dutch pretty much walks him through the interview. Just a shame he is out of here so soon.

Lee says that he's getting prepared for the Rage in the Cage at Volunteer Slam when they're interrupted by Tammy Fytch. She says that he seems to have some potential but needs a bit of guidance and if he signs this contract with her she will tell him every move that he needs to make. Bob Armstrong comes out and although their lawyers have asked him to give her some leeway because of the lawsuit, he can't allow her to come out, interrupt the wrestlers and ask them questions that they're not interested in. Lee says to Armstrong to let him answer her question and he tells her that if he wanted a woman to tell him what to do he'd get married...and she isn't his type.
-
The Dirty White Boy is out to provide commentary while Ron Wright watches the match from ringside to do a little prospective scouting. Smothers gets the pin and Anthony rushes the ring but Smothers sees him coming. He gets in the first shots and dropkicks the White Boy out of the ring. Anthony gets some brass knux off Wright and he slugs Smothers. He posts him and drops a leg before motioning to Wright to pass him something. Wright produces a can of spray paint and the Dirty White Boy paints a yellow streak down Smothers' back until Tim Horner comes out and Anthony leaves.
-
One of the things that I've been waiting for! Bob Caudle announces that the SMW attorneys have advised them to let Tammy Fytch have her say on the program. Tammy can't believe that Caudle hasn't heard of her family, the Fytch's of New England, they're very well connected! She's filed a sexual discrimination lawsuit against Smoky Mountain Wrestling, because since the promotion began it hasn't employed a single woman in any prominent position. She is currently enrolled in Wellesley College, the same school that her idol Hilary Clinton attended, and Mrs Clinton has proven that a woman can do anything she wants and she is going to make a difference in this organization by being the first woman to hold a prominent position here. If she can find someone suitable she plans to start by managing, before moving onto announcing, promoting and maybe even being becoming Commissioner (as Bob Armstrong won't be around for long). She looks in the wrong camera occasionally, but generally does a good job. It really is a crying shame to see her all young and naturally pretty when you know how everything turns out.

[1993-04-17-SMW-TV] Rock & Roll Express and the Heavenly Bodies
GSR replied to Loss's topic in April 1993
Ricky Morton is sick of Jim Cornette coming out and saying that he’s going to get rid of the Rock & Roll Express, but says that they’re going nowhere. Cornette and Tom Prichard come out and Cornette says they’ve got them a little going away present, so why don’t they come on over and open it? Morton says that he’s tired of this so the two of them go over, but it’s just a ruse (surprise, surprise) as Prichard throws powder in both of their faces. Cornette attacks Gibson with his racket and here comes Stan Lane and Bobby Eaton to make it four on two. The Bodies and Cornette tar and feather Morton until Brian Lee and Tracey Smothers rush out to see them all off. Morton is back out after a Bodies vs Stud Stable match and still hasn't showered. He swears that one of them, either the Rock & Roll Express or the Heavenly Bodies is going to leave SMW and it's not going to be them! -
[1993-04-10-SMW-TV] Heavenly Bodies & Jim Cornette and Bob Armstrong
GSR replied to Loss's topic in April 1993
Bob Caudle tells Cornette that everything went the opposite of what he said would happen and he blames that on Bob Armstrong's tampering and the rest of the people in SMW. Tom Prichard wants his $1,000 and Cornette tells him that he'll give him $1,000 dollars (to try and placate the situation), but he doesn't want Cornette's money, he wants Bobby's, 'He doesn't have a thousand dollars. Stanfield gets involved having word with Prichard and an increasingly frustrated and agitated Cornette tells them all to 'quit it'. Caudle then plays a video sent in from Bob Armstrong and their attorneys are now prepared to stand up in court and say three men can't defend two belts. He says that they've decided that from now on only the two original signees, Tom Prichard and Stan Lane, will be allowed to defend the tag team titles. He has also heard a rumour that Bobby Eaton may very well be interested in, he's got six days to dig and will be back next week with his findings Cornette can't believe that Armstrong would rule that Eaton is not eligible to defend the Smoky Mountain tag team titles and is sick and tired of his constant interference and tampering. He tells Armstrong that he's treading on thin ice and when he wants to do something to somebody he gets it done. He then reiterates that they're going to embarrass the Rock & Roll Express out of here and once they've done that he's going to court with his Mama's attorney to get Eaton reinstated as a member of the tag team champions. As they leave he says that there are no problems in the Heavenly Bodies, although that doesn't seem to be the case. Cornette is excellent here. -
Well this was a let down! Cornette is going to remain impartial for this match and just watch it from ringside. Before the match starts he gets in the ring and runs down the rules with both of them, like no hair pulling, eye gouging and to break before the five count. They exchange a few holds and Cornette is torn at ringside as they both try to get help and advice from him. Just as the match starts to get heated Cornette gets in the ring again and we go to a local interview. When we return from the interview that match is already over. Cornette is the highlight here, especially 'playing' the referee before the match commences. Again, not really expecting much and you have an idea of what would happen, but amazingly it is even worse.
-
Yup, it's Nancy! Sullivan's latest therapy session with Dr Michael Phillips while Nancy feeds him grapes (they don't refer to her as Nurse Kratchett here). Sullivan is feeling a lot better but that isn't going to stop him from doing what he wants because he has been persecuted, he has been looked down upon and has been made to feel unwelcome in SMW. He's going to take this out on everybody starting with Brian Lee and the grapes of wrath are going to fall down on him.

[1993-04-03-SMW-TV] Interview: Jim Cornette & Heavenly Bodies
GSR replied to Loss's topic in April 1993
Bob Caudle says to Cornette that the Stud Stable are ready and he enquires for what? The retirement home? Alocholics Anonymous? Maybe they're ready to go home, watch TV, drink beer and leave competing in sports to real men like them. He says that they've come to the conclusion that even though they can beat the Rock & Roll Express time and again, they don't know when to quit, so they plan to embarrass them out of SMW and maybe all of wrestling too. He informs us that Bob Armstrong isn't here today and produces and injunction from his pocket. So far the Beat the Champ challenger has been picked at the start of every program and whomever the champ is doesn't get the time to prepare for them. This injunction changes that as he argued in court that a man needs the chance to prepare for his challenger, so from now the challenger will be picked one week ahead in advance. Caudle picks the name of Eaton's challenger for next week and picks Tom Prichard. Cornette sells this great and thinks all the pieces of paper in the hat only had Prichard's name on them. When he sees that they don't, he tears the injunction up and says that they don't need it, but Prichard says that he would quite like to have the match. Prichard and Eaton get into a shoving match with Cornette having to get between them. Cornette again tries to say that Prichard doesn't want the match, but Prichard informs Caudle that he did a hell of a job in pulling his name out and he'll take it. Tremendous stuff and having already watched a few more later episodes, Cornette has a hell of a few weeks in these interview segments where the Heavenly Bodies Inc. slowly start to fall apart. -
Just listening to this now and when running down the Funk show on 10/28 you said that Ted Dibiase's match against Tito Santana was his last American match. He actually wrestled two days late on the Bensalem Bash (Sabu/Candido cage main event) card against Terry Funk (which was his last match). *edit* You're now talking about Bensalem Bash, and Bix has corrected what was said earlier.

[1993-03-27-SMW-TV] Interview: Arn Anderson & Rock & Roll Express
GSR replied to Loss's topic in March 1993
Armstrong says that Smoky Mountain Wrestling needs a good house cleaning, he’s tried fining guys and even suspended Paul Orndorff indefinitely, but what these guys need is forced action. Brian Lee is going to get his shot at Kevin Sullivan, but in case he doesn’t get the job done, he’s got a line of guys a mile long ready to step in the ring with him. He fined him $5,000, but his followers came up with the money and whilst he hasn’t got to him yet, it’s not over. He says that this Friday it’s the great Smoky Mountain Showdown at the Bluegrass Brawl, three teams, nine men in the ring and only the strongest shall survive. Ricky Morton says that with the combination of Arn Anderson and the Rock & Roll Express, they don’t care what it takes because when it’s over this is the team that will be left in the ring. Arn says that for the last couple of weeks he’s had a strange cramping in his arm and his fingers have been cramping in the position of the Four Horseman. It means the symbol of excellence, it means if you want a collection of broken bones, you want to get hurt? You jump on the Horsemen. He has hurt Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson in his career and they’ve returned in kind many times, but in his stupidity and harping about Bobby Eaton he’s forgotten about the team of Dutch Mantel & the Stud Stable. Robert Fuller has been saying how he’s going to get his bad leg, but he thrives on pain, the more he gets hurt the more he likes it (maybe a girl from St Louis instilled that in him one night?), but he guarantees the six of them that someone will get hurt. No ring will contain it, anyone with children leave them at home, somebody is going to have to bow out and if you want to take a powder go ahead, because the life you save may be your own. Another home run of an interview from Double A.
