Aired February 29, 1992

Knoxville Civic Coliseum, Knoxville, TN

1. Danny Davis vs Barry Horowitz - much more competitive than his WWF and WCW squashes and you see just how good Horowitz is. 
2. INT: Jimmy Golden 
3. Recap of The Fantastics vs Jimmy Golden & Ivan Koloff from last week and the show closing brawl 
4. INT: The Fantastics - they wish they could be here this week to meet the Koloffs nose to nose in the ring, but they have prior commitments in Japan.  They have been on the phone daily trying to get a six man partner and will meet the Koloffs and Golden when they get back from Japan. 
5. INT: Bob Armstrong - he has watched the tape (from last week’s main event), but they are professionals and we can’t have that going on as they may mess up the TV cameras or some fans could get hurt, so he’s fining everyone involved in that brawl $500.  He has spoken to the Fantastics and believes that they have a legal right, so when they get back from Japan he’s granting them a six-man tag match on TV against Jimmy Golden & the Koloffs and they can pick a partner of their own.  He then tells Dutch Mantel that Brian Lee is after him, and whilst he’s warned him not to disrupt the TV show and come messing with him if he’s behind the announcing desk, if he gets in the ring, then he’s on his own. 
6. INT: Ron Wright - he wants to share with us one of the thousands of letters he’s received in the past few weeks.  The letter writer says how he’s been a fan of Mr Wrights for years and knows that he was one of the greatest, best loved wrestlers ever and always liked how he showed the other wrestlers such good sportsmanship when they tried to maim and cripple him.  They’re very sorry to hear that he needs money for his operation so have enclosed $5 for him, but wish it could be more for a kind old man like him.  Hopes that other fans will also write in and send money until he’s able to find a good, Christian athlete to manage.  This nearly brakes Ron down knowing that he has this support from fans who know he was a good, clean, Christian, scientific wrestler and he appreciates it from the bottom of his heart.  Hilarious again! 
7. Bob Holly vs Tommy Angel - Ron Wright comes down to ringside to do some scouting.  He ends up grabbing Angel’s ankle as he is about to climb to the top turnbuckle turning the bout in Holly’s favour. 
8. INT: Paul Orndorff - he’s hear for the SMW title tournament, but plans to look into why the piledriver has been banned in the area. 
9. INT: Brian Lee - claims that Dutch Mantel has been running from him from day one and he’s been told that if he grabs him from behind the desk he’ll be fined or suspended, but the moment he puts one foot in the ring he’ll break him in half.  We return from the interview to find Mantel coughing and spluttering, claiming he’s too sick to wrestle and gets Carl Styles to stand in for him. 
10. Carl Styles vs Reno Riggins - after the match Brian Lee comes into the ring and challenges Mantel but gets jumped from behind by Styles. 
11. INT: Jim Cornette - everyone in SMW are gutless cowards who are scared of who is new team is, and Bob Armstrong has said that he can’t enter a team in the tag team tournament that is nameless and faceless as it won’t be fair to everyone else.  Cornette says no-one will know who his team is until the tournament rolls round, because if they knew, they’d all bail out like rats on a sinking ship. 
12. Jimmy Golden vs Robert Gibson - Ivan and Vladimir Koloff come to ringside to second Golden midway into the match and end up interfering for the DQ.  Tim Horner and Hector Guerrero make the save and run off the heels.
13. INT: Bob Armstrong & Robert Gibson & Brian Lee - Armstrong says that there will always be guys like the Koloffs, Golden and Dutch Mantel who’ll try to get away with what they can, and if Lee and Gibson want to get some guys together he could be tempted to look the other way.  Lee says that thanks to Armstrong he’s got Carl Styles one on one next week. 

Bold matches are PWO recommended
