Race vs. Bock certainly didn't disappoint!  Race with the clean win here to get the title shot but I don't think Bockwinkel will just bow out gracefully.....he'll be ready and waiting for the winner of Funk vs. Race....and what title match that's going to be!

Idol is a perfect opponent here for Hogan....I'm really looking forward to seeing these two square off for the World title!

Steve Stack: Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of TNT Wrestling here on the USA Network. Big show tonight as we get ready for next week's big card at the Oman Arena in Jackson Tennessee. We'll be talking a lot about that throughout the show. Lot's of action for you tonight as we have a big 6 man main event in which Jerry Lawler and the Fabulous Ones will take on Jimmy Hart's stable of the Honkytonk Man and Nightmares. Cocoa Samoa clashes with Sheik Ali Hassan and Ivan Putski will go one on one with Mr. Electricity Steve Regal. TV champ Tully Blanchard will be in action as will the AWA TNT Champion Terry Funk! Right now I want to bring out the man who will be facing AWA World Champ Hulk Hogan for the title in Jackson, I'm talking about the Universal Heartthrob Austin Idol.

The fans boo as Idol arrogantly walks out.

Idol: Oh baby the Universal Heartthrob is in the building and brother don't I look great! You know something Steve? A couple weeks ago I gave that Heartthrob wannabe, that chump Hulk Hogan the beating of a lifetime and you know what he was saying? He said Austin Idol, please stop, you are the best and I cant take it anymore. Well Hogan, I'm not going to stop because next week I'm going to give the fans and the entire AWA what they want and that's me winning the world title baby. I am the true toast of the coast. I'm the one with the biggest arms in wrestling and I'm the one who has all the charisma in the world. Just look at me baby. So Hogan, whatcha gonna do when IdolMania runs wild on you brother!

Idol winks at the camera and gives everybody a wink.

Stasiak: These fans should show respect for an international superstar like Jumbo Tsuruta! Next week these fans are going to witness total destruction as Tsuruta will destroy that washed up has been Larry Hennig! Hennig is nothing but a tune up for more important things. That's right, Terry Funk we're looking at you and when Tsuruta beats you down for the TNT title, guess what? The AWA world title is next!

Stack: Very impressive win for Tito Santana. I want to bring out the man who will be facing Santana next week in Jackson. Please welcome Nick Bockwinkel. Now Nick, I'm sure you're a little preoccupied considering your tough loss to Harley Race last week. Harley gets the TNT title shot but I'm sure your goal is getting back in contention. 

Bock: Mr. Stack there is no question about it that I will be back in the title hunt. I can accept a loss to a great competitor like Harley Race but one thing I cant accept is this upcoming match with Tito Santana. That is nothing but a downgrade. Santana represents the lowest form of an opponent. I think this match is a joke and he doesn't deserve to be in the ring with a former champion like myself. 

The Fans cheer as Santana walks up. 

Santana: I'm not out here to cause trouble but I couldn't help but hear your comments Nick. 

Bock: I would appreciate it if you referred to me as Mr. Bockwinkel. You're in the presence of class so a bit of respect is in order.

Santana: Fine, Mr. Bockwinkel. This will be straight to the point. Do not underestimate myself and my in ring skills. I'm here in TNT to make some noise and defeating you will do just that. Ariba!

Santana exits as Bock folds his arms, looks at the ground and shakes his head.

Bock: That man is in for a wrestling awakening. Mark my words.

Then in Jackson my Nightmares will once again be victorious over the Stupid Ones and then get back those tag team straps we never should of lost in the first place!

Wow! What a stacked card coming to Jackson, 12 matches and at least 6 of them are bonafide main events! 

Incredible tv main event with Lawler and the Fabs getting one over HTM and The Nightmares.

Great promo from Bockwinkel, you really have him down and if he underestimates Tito, Santana could get a huge win that propels him into the title picture!

To echo the above, that card in Jackson is batshit. Just amazing from top to bottom.

Tito and Bockwinkel should be a classic.

Funk and Race could go a million different ways.

Lawler and HTM is gonna be a drag out brawl.

and Hulkamania vs Idolmania will be something else!!

Super excited for this one!!

Great tv show that really sets up the big one in Jackson.  I love how Tito quickly fit into that semi- main event or main event guy to go with Bock, Funk and Lawler.  Speaking of Lawler, I enjoy whenever I see him in the ring with HTM.  I real life family melt down is just moments away.

Man, what a show from top to bottom!!

Spivey and Tsuruta each pick up big wins early in the night.

Machine and Wells appears to be far from over. I think a No DQ match may be order here. Still super glad I traded Wells to you. You have done so much more with him than I would have ever dreamed of.

Bock and Santana go to the limit, and Tito makes sure that everyone knows there is a new contender in town. Would have loved to have seen this one!

Tully makes it out with the TV Title by the skin of his teeth, but that is his M.O. I have to assume Jaggers will be back for a rematch, but I have faith Tully will be ready!

Another violent war between the Guerreros and the 'Herders, this one just keeps getting nastier!

Lawler wins the match, but HTM gets one over on him. Feel like this one is far from over too. Probably gonna get a lot bloodier and a lot nastier before all is said and done!

Fabs dispatch the Nightmares, but Decimation wins the night! If you want to make a statement destroying the champions and the top contenders is the way to do it!!

The Funker retains in a tough one! Race gave him everything he had, but Terry pulls it out. Loving this reign, and I am excited to see who steps up to challenge next.

Hogan gets the best of Idol (Boo!) but Austin gave his all. I hope we get a rematch down the line!

 

Awesome show man!

Damn...what a show!  I love the fact that it had something for everyone...brawls, great technical match ups....no one could have left unsatisfied.

Bockwinkel vs. Tito really stands out for me as match that would really show the fans just what Tito is all about and that he is destined for big things here.

Lawler vs. HTM is southern rasslin at it's best Lawler gets the win but HTM leaves with his heat...great stuff!

Idol is a great heel opponent for Hogan....I really hate he didn't get a run with him in WWF...I could totally see Idol on that Orndorff spot against Hogan in '86....could have been some fun stuff....not Flair/Steamboat type good.....Hogan/WWF 80's gaga good.

Awesome show and a real treat for the people of Jackson.  

Great writing with nice background information for many of your feuds.

Spivey is proving to just be better then Brown

Always like to see the evil foreigners go down as you did in match 2

Axe does a nice job of subbing in but Jumbo may be too much for him at this stage

Dream Machine with some heel tactics shows that sometimes there is more then just trying to get a win

Love Tully as the TV champ.  It really makes that title have some weight

Guerreros/Sheepherder has been a nice mid-card bloodbath for you and keeps the fans attention until the big matches

Lawler/HTM leads to chaos and then the Fab Ones get the #1 contender win after helping Lawler.  Helping Lawler in TN really gets them over!

Funk vs Race .... Hogan vs Idol.... what a star pack show!

Tully Blanchard retains the TV title over Bobby Jaggers and The Fabulous Ones defeat the Nightmares to become number one tag team title contenders. Tito Santana takes Nick Bockwinkel to a draw and the Honkytonk Man blasts Jerry Lawler over the head with a guitar. 

 

Lance Russell: Hello wrestling fans and welcome to another edition of TNT wrestling here on the USA Network. As you saw at the top of the program a lot went down in Jackson and we'll be talking more about that though out the show. Jerry Jarrett will be here tonight with some big announcements regarding a big upcoming card in Louisville on June 7th. In addition we have some big matches set for tonight as the Sheepherders will take on Rolling Thunder and Jumbo Tsuruta will face the Dream Machine. Let's go to the ring as Bob Roop makes his TNT televised debut. 

 

Bob Roop vs. Gary Williams

Roop works over the shoulder of Williams. He puts Williams in a hammerlock and body slams him down. Roop picks up Williams and drops him with a shoulder breaker to get the pin! The Ref raises Roop's arm but Roop jerks it away and heads to the podium. 

 

Lance: Very impressive win Mr. Roop. 

Roop: Of course it was! Lance Russell, you and all these fans know my resume and credentials. You're looking at the best all around wrestler in the world. Nobody can match me hold for hold. The reason I'm here is simple, I want that TNT title and a man like Bob Roop doesn't wait in line! 

 

Commercial Break 

 

Lance: Fans, please welcome out Jerry Jarrett. Jerry, I understand you have some big announcements. 

Jarrett: Thank you Lance. First off, I want to announce that on June 7th at the Louisville Gardens, Tony Atlas and Hercules Ayala will defend the AWA Southern Tag Team titles against the Fabulous Ones. The Fabulous Ones earned that shot...

The fans boo as Stan Stasiak leads out Decimation (Mike Shaw and Randy Colley) 

Stasiak: Here we go again. Jarrett! You saw what these men did to not just one team but 2 teams. In Jackson they obliviated both the Fabulous Ones and the so called champs! Decimation is undefeated and yet they haven't received a title shot. What gives? I want answers! 

Jarrett: Hold on Stasiak, although I didn't like that attack, you did get my attention. The Fabulous Ones earned the next shot and that stands. However, I talked with Verne Gagne, and Decimation will be receiving a shot at the AWA world tag team titles in July at the big Summer Blast card to be held in the Mid South Coliseum. 

Stasiak actually smiles.

Jarrett: One more thing Stasiak. The Fabulous Ones aren't going to let that post match attack slide, so next week, live on TV, Decimation will face the Fabulous Ones.

Stasiak: Fine by us! But be warned, after Decimation gets done with them they wont make it to Louisville for their title shot. 

Stasiak and Decimation leave. 

Jarrett: Next up, also in Louisville, Terry Funk will defend the TNT title. I've decided that next week Nick Bockwinkel will face Tito Santana and the winner will receive that title shot. 

Lance: Ok, lot's of big news in TNT, fans we'll be right back.

 

Commercial Break 

 

AWA Southern Tag Champs Tony Atlas and Hercules Ayala vs. Steve Rooney and Jay Jones 

The fans are 100% behind the champs as they simply over power their opponents. Atlas presses Jones over his head and slams him down then tags in Ayala. Ayala clamps on a bear hug, rams Jones into the turnbuckles then belly to belly suplexes him over for the pin! The fans cheer as Atlas and Ayala hold the titles up high. 

The champs cut a promo and say they're ready for the Fabs and haven't forgotten about Decimation. They tell all the teams in TNT to get in line and they'll defend against all comers! 

 

Commercial Break

Cocoa is a bloody mess as the show cuts to a commercial. 

 

Commercial Break

 

Lance: I cant believe what we just saw. What a sickening act by Ratamyus. I didn't know his suspension was lifted. 

Jerry Jarrett comes back out.

Jarrett: Yes, as of today, the suspension of Ratamyus was lifted, however, it's obvious that he hasn't learned a thing as we just saw. Therefore, once again Ratamyus is suspended. 

Ratamyus storms out and flips over the podium! Lance high tails it out of there. Jarrett runs back. 

Ratamyus: You cannot stop me! Nobody can! 

Ratamyus heads towards Jarrett and grabs him by his shirt! The fans are shocked. Ratamyus grabs Jarrett by his throat and starts choking him. Lance is yelling for help. 

Larry Hennig and members of Security run out and back Ratamyus off. 

 

Commercial Break 

 

Steve O vs. Clint Walker 

As officials clean up the podium area, this match starts. Steve O back drops Walker. As Walker staggers up, Steve O nails him with a flying body press for the pin! The fans cheer as Steve heads over to the podium. 

Steve: I hope you and Jerry are ok. That was a disgusting act. I was in the back with Cocoa and he's being taken to the hospital. Ratamyus needs to be stopped and I guarantee that Cocoa Samoa will be the one to do it! You made a grave mistake Ratamyus! 

Lance: Fans, I'm still a bit shaken up and I understand Jerry Jarrett is being looked at by medics in the back. I hope to give you an update on his condition soon. Let's go back to the ring. 

 

Dan Spivey vs. Samuel Edwards 

Spivey swings Edwards to the ropes and puts him down with a big boot! Spivey swings off the ropes and crashes down with a big elbow to get the pin! The fans are taking a liking to the big man as he continues to gain momentum.

Commercial Break

 

Lance: I don't know what to say...

Boos as Rick McGraw storms to the podium

Lance: Come on Rick, what was the meaning of that? 

McGraw: The name is Quick Draw! I came to TNT to make a name for myself but instead I was being held back by a washed up has been! I should of left the Polish Wimp a long time ago but to tell you the truth I felt sorry for him. Well, no more feeling sorry. It's time to look out for number one and believe me when I tell you Lance and all these idiots out here, you will remember the name Quick Draw Rick McGraw! 

Lance: My goodness, it's been a very unsettling show. Back up to the ring.

Tully antagonizes the booing fans before hoisting Jersky up and hitting the Sling Shot Suplex for the pin! Tully holds up his TV title with an arrogant smirk, then heads to the podium. 

Tully: Well, well, well, look who's still holding the TV title. Everybody thought Bobby Jaggers was going to whip me bad but here we are and I'm holding this title. I just have one question. Who's next? I'll answer that. Nobody! There's nobody in TNT left for me to beat. 

The fans cheer when Chavo Guerrero walks out.

Chavo: I've been listening to you and your big mouth Tully. My brother is out with an injury and I need to stay sharp. If your looking for an opponent, well here I am.

Fans cheer

Tully: (Smiling) You? Is this a joke? Really, you? Jeez, what kind of promotion is this? You haven't earned anything boy.

Chavo: Ok, fair enough. How about we have a non title match next week and if I beat you, you give me a shot.

Tully (laughs) I'll tell you what, just to prove you're not even in my league, if you last 10 minutes with me, then you can have a shot. I hope you don't mind being embarrassed on national TV. 

Chavo: I assure you Blanchard, I'll be ready. 

Tully: Hey, you know what? I'm going to dedicate this match to your fallen brother and then afterwards you boys can have a good ol fashion Guerrero sulk fest. Out of the goodness of my heart I'll supply the piñata. (laughs) 

Chavo waits until Tully looks at him then puts Tully down with a right fist! 

The fans go wild! 

 

Commercial Break 

 

Lance: (Smiling) Wow, I think Chavo left an impression on the TV champ. Well fans, before we get to our main event, please welcome out the current TNT Champion, Terry Funk. Terry, you heard the announcement earlier. Nick Bockwinkel and Tito Santana will wrestle next week for a shot at your title in Louisville on June 7th. 

Funk: Lance, the Funker is ready for either one of those stooges. I told you, I'm going to hold on to this title by any means necessary! I already beat Bockwinkel so I wouldn't mind beating him again. As for Santana, I have no problem putting him down. It doesn't matter, the end result will be the same. Me holding up this title. Lance Russell, you can bet on that!

HTM: Jimmy, he's at home courtesy of the Honkytonk Man baby. Lawler, if you have the guts and want more of the Honkytonk Man then brother I wont mind beating you up again. Come and get it!

Looking forward to what Jimmy Hart has up his sleeve.

Funk vs either Bock or Tito should be a great match as will the match to decide it.

Blanchard vs Guerrero will be awesome.

Nice debut for Roop.

Decimation vs The Road Warriors should be a fight.

Fabs vs Atlas/Ayala, will the Fabs finally win the belts?

Good show man!

That was a fun show to read as it just had so many twist and turns.

Nice Intro to TNT for Roop

I think you have really hit on something for Stasiak here

RATAMYUS!  RATAMYUS!  I need more Ratamyus!

You have such depth at both the top team division and the main eventers that you can keep surprising us.

McGraw and Putski will be a fun midcard feud.

Funk is perfect for your territory

Hart and HTM together is awesome and this makes Lawler even better.

Let me introduce to you, Jessie Barr!

Stack: Well Ivan, I'm sure you're trying to make sense of why Rick McGraw did what he did last week.

Lawler: It appears we both have issues with the Hart Family. We're out here to issue a challenge. We want that greaser HTM and that back shooting coward Wells, in a match, next week! 

Stack: Ok, the challenge has been made. Fans, I want to take you to some pre recorded comments from Cocoa Samoa, who's at home resting.

 

Cocoa (bandaged forehead) Ratamyus! Once again you have gotten the best of me by attacking from behind. No More! You may be suspended but I know a way. On June 7th, I want Ratamyus in a non sanctioned lights out match! You want to get crazy? Fine by me, let's get crazy! 

 

Commercial Break 

 

Winner gets a TNT Title Shot on June 7th

Nick Bockwinkel vs. Tito Santana 

The first few minutes are clean but very intense as both men want that title shot bad. Bock hits some arm drags and follows with a take down arm bar. Bock works on the arm until Tito fights back and turns the tables on Bock with an arm drag takeover. Bock reaches the ropes. As they lock up, Bock kicks Tito in the mid section, hits him with a forearm to the face and follows with a gut wrench suplex 1..2..Kick Out. Bock swings Tito to the ropes, back drops him then follows with a vertical suplex 1..2..Kick Out. Bock gets frustrated, swings Tito to the ropes and clamps on the sleeper! Bock starts to wrench it on but Tito runs back and rams Bock into the turnbuckles to break it. Tito regroups, grabs Bock and hits an inverted atomic drop then clotheslines Bock down 1..2..Bock gets his foot on the rope. Tito hits a side slam then goes to the middle ropes and hits an elbow drop 1..2..Bock gets his shoulder up. Tito swings Bock to the ropes and drop kicks him. The fans boo as Bob Roop walks out and circles the ring. Tito goes to the top rope. Bock staggers up and Tito comes down with a double axe handle. Tito signals for the flying forearm smash as the fans cheer. Tito swings off the ropes but Roop trips him! Tito staggers forward then turns around and yells at Roop. The Ref is yelling down at Roop but Roop shakes his head and holds his hands out. Bock runs over and nails Tito with a high knee to the back then rolls Tito up 1..2..3! Thundering boos. Bock slides out of the ring. Bock looks at Roop and nods then puts out his hand. Roop nods and shakes it. What's this all about??? 

 

Commercial Break

 

Steve Stack is standing with Larry Henning. 

Stack: Well Larry, it's been quite the first night on the job for you. 

Larry: Sure has and I want to address a few things. Next week, it will be Lawler and Dream Machine facing HTM and Wells. Because of what happened earlier, on June 7th, Kerry Brown will get a match with Goldie Rogers. Speaking of June 7th, I am going to allow the non sanction match to take place. Cocoa Samoa and Ratamyus will go at it in a lights out match! I said issues will be settled in the ring and brother they will! 

Stack: Alright, well fans Lance Russell will see you next week in Memphis.

Great show that really built up the June 7 card!

I love Johnny V taking away the name and giving it to Goldie Rogers, a great way to lead right into their match and give it meaning. I've always been a fan of Johnny V, I really enjoyed him co-hosting the old Coliseum Videos back in the late 80's.

What a great way to get Chavo over and establish him as a serious threat to Tully's title.....the "moral victory" lasting 10 minutes gets him over with the crowd and shows he can handle Tully, a couple of weeks ago he was mostly looked at as a tag team guy...but in no time at all you've established him as a legit threat to Tully's TV title...great stuff!

Roop helps Bock get the win and now Tito is going to be looking for revenge and what title match we're getting with Bockwinkel vs. Funk!

With "The Axe" laying down the law, things could get real interesting in TNT!

The Funker is ready for anybody, and makes short work of the competition. 

Roop and Bock working together is bad news for somebody!

The Blanchard/Guerrero rematch is gonna be awesome!!!

So glad to see the Jayhawks together. Before the draft I was trying to figure out who I could trade you for Jaggers, just in case I got Dutch!! Great team!!

Jessie Barr is Wrestling 3? Okay! Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Decimation picks up the huge (tainted) win over the Fabs! They have to be the favorite going into their title shot, as they are on a roll.

Honky and Wells vs Lawler and Dream Machine... Yes, Please!!

Roop costs Santana the win, Bock gets Funk again, and we potentially get Santana/Roop. Best possible outcome!!

June 7th at the Garden is gonna be one heck of a show!!
