3. Tim Horner vs Paul Orndorff (jip)
4. Jimmy Golden vs Robert Gibson (clips)
5. Tony Anthony (w/ Ron Wright) vs Brian Lee (extended highlights)
6. INT: Tony Anthony - dressing room interview. Says that was the biggest fluke ever, Brian Lee lucked out and there’s not a chance he could ever beat him again.  He may not become the SMW Heavyweight champion tonight, but neither will Brian Lee, he’ll make sure of it.
7. Robert Gibson vs Paul Orndorff (jip)
8. Paul Orndorff vs Brian Lee - prior to the match Bob Armstrong says that Lee lost a lot of blood and has a shoulder injury after his match with Tony Anthony, the doctors have asked him not to wrestle and as a result has no alternative but to award the belt to Orndorff.  Lee comes out all bandaged up and carrying his shoulder and says that he’s come too far to let some doctor tell him he can’t win the belt, and if Orndorff wants it he’ll have to go through him.  We get highlights of the match.  Referee Mark Curtis gets KO’ed from an Orndorff back in elbow in a very contrived looking bump and Bob Armstrong gets in the ring to try and revive him.  Behind his back the Dirty White Boy comes out and throws some knux to Orndorff and he goes to punch Lee with them.  Prime Time blocks the punch and they start to fight over the knux, Armstrong turns round tries to break them up, sees the knux on Orndorff’s hand and DQ’s him.  Orndorff and Anthony attack Lee after the decision with Armstrong making the save and decking the Dirty White Boy.  Barry Horowitz and Buddy Landell come out for some reason, but Armstrong starts on them until eventually the dressing room empties and the likes of Jimmy Golden, Joe Cazana, Tim Horner, Dixie Dy-No-Mite and Joey Maggs try to separate everyone.  Really poor way to crown your first champion on a DQ finish.
9. INT: Paul Orndorff - dressing room interview.  Says that was a Smoky Mountain rip off!  Talks about how Lee put up a good fight, but so did Saddam Hussein.  He says that there has been a conspiracy against him ever since he arrived but it doesn’t matter, he’ll finish this with Brian Lee wherever he wants and next time Bob Armstrong sticks his nose in his business, he’s going to piledrive him as he’s sick and tired of all this.
10. INT: Brian Lee - dressing room interview.  Says that Paul Orndorff and Tony Anthony underestimated him, but now it’s time for payback and he’s through playing around.
11. Heavenly Bodies (w/ Jim Cornette) vs Party Patrol (Johnny & Davey Rich) (jip)
12. INT: Party Patrol - dressing room interview
13. INT: Bobby Fulton - talks about how the likes of  Tim Horner, Brian Lee and Robert Gibson have all approached him wanting to be his tag team partner, but he said no.  Whilst his brother may be down at the moment, he’s not out, and when they come back Jim Cornette and the Heavenly Bodies can count on the damnest fight they’ve ever seen.
14. Recap of the Mountain Mayhem Battle Royal and the post-match interview where Bob Armstrong ordered a rematch between Tim Horner and Buddy Landell.
15. INT: Buddy Landell - says Bob Armstrong must be punch drunk and awful crazy if he thinks he’s going to put up $5,000.  He’s already beaten Horner fair and square in the middle of the ring, so why does he have to put up the money?  What’s it to him?  It’s only another loss in his career, it’s not like nothing new is happening.
16. Buddy Landell vs Tim Horner - Dutch Mantel on commentary speculates over what Horner would do with $5,000; soup up his truck, buy a gun rack, a cow?  At least Landell has always spent his money wisely!  Dutch also believes that Horner is getting preferential treatment from Bob Armstrong.  Short, nothing match which sees Horner get the pin but he is attacked by Landell after the match.  Budro rams his head into the ring post and Horner blades, before ripping the cheque up and stuffing it down his mouth.  Brian Lee, Dixie Dy-No-Mite and Danny Davis put a stop to the attack and run off Landell.

Bold matches are PWO recommended
