Smoky Mountain Wrestling

TV

Aired February 8, 1992

Memorial Auditorium, Greenville, SC

1. INT: Jim Cornette - he can hardly wait to see ‘Hollywood’ Bob Holly! 
2. Bob Holly vs Tim Fry - Ron Wright comes to ringside during the match to do some scouting.
3. INT: Ivan & Vladimir Koloff - today will be the end of The Fantastics career. 
4. INT: Robert Gibson 
5. Paul Orndorff vs Rip Rogers - good little match. 
6. INT: Danny Davis - is proud to be associated with Smoky Mountain wrestling and is now ‘Nitro’ Danny Davis.
7. INT: Bob Armstrong 
8. INT: Brian Lee - tells Dutch Mantel it’s easy to sit behind a desk and criticise, but if he’s got a problem with him he’ll settle anytime, anywhere. 
9. Dutch Mantel vs Scott Armstrong - Mantel is DQ’d for using his bullwhip and continues to whip Scott after the match until Brian Lee makes the save. 
10. INT: Jerry Williams - recommends people bring in SMW if they want to raise some funds etc. as that’s what his school did. 
11. INT: Bob Armstrong - says that Dutch Mantel can get past the foreign object clause by claiming that the whip is part of his paraphernalia, but if he uses that whip it’ll cost him $500 the first time and we’ll see after that.  Also says that Dutch appears to have a problem with Brian Lee and we can settle that, so next week they’ll face each other here on TV. 
12. INT: Jim Cornette  - everyone has been asking him who this tag team he’s bringing in is, but nobody is going to know until he’s ready and when he is ready is when they decide champions around here.  He says that he’s been in other organisations where you say you want to get a little higher on the card, but they say ‘no, you’re not selling enough bubble cards’, you say you want a little more money, but they say ‘we can’t pay you as this guy’s got a contract selling tennis shoes, we’ve got to pay him’, and you say you want a title shot, but they say ‘we ain’t going to give you a title shot as you may beat him and he’s just signed a contract to be on an episode of a situation comedy’.  That’s the problem with other organisations, but round here you become a champion by winning a lot of matches. 
13. INT: Wally Yamaguchi - is here to scout the talent and also possibly exchange TV programming.
14. Recap of Bobby Fulton vs Ivan Koloff from last week 
15. INT: Ron Wright - maintains his innocence and doesn’t know why the Fantastics are all upset and claiming he gave Ivan Koloff something.  Says that he’s just a poor, crippled old man in a wheelchair and all he’s done is come to look at the talent in Smoky Mountain, and may find a team or man to manage to help make him some money to get his hip surgery. 
16. Ivan & Vladimir Koloff vs The Fantastics (Bobby & Jackie Fulton) 
17. INT: Jim Cornette - they’re bringing back live wrestling to the towns in the Smoky Mountain area, but that’s like an albatross to him and he’s calling Bob Armstrong as he’s not going to these stinking, red neck, hillbilly towns. 
18. INT: Terry Gordy 
19. INT: Tim Horner - Bob Armstrong has confirmed to him that Smoky Mountain is not a body building contest or a rock show like some of these other organisations, and that everyone can compete on a level playing field.

Bold matches are PWO recommended
