Smoky Mountain Wrestling

TV

Aired November 14, 1992

Sullivan East High School, Bluff City, TN

1. INT: Danny Davis - he’s wearing a neck brace, but tells everyone to stay tuned as they have a surprise for “Paula Orndorff”
2. Paul Orndorff vs Reno Riggins - Ron Garvin joins the commentary desk and hands Bob Caudle a note to read to Orndorff.
3. INT: Paul Orndorff - Bob Caudle reads the note to him which is from Bob Armstrong.  The note says in response to Ron Garvin’s recent request, he agrees that Orndorff made a verbal agreement on TV last week, they have therefore added a match to the Thanksgiving Thunder tour of Paul Orndorff vs Ron Garvin & Danny Davis in a handicap match.  Orndorff tries to backtrack and says that he hasn’t signed anything and isn’t pleased either.
4. INT: Tim Horner, Rock & Roll Express
5. INT:  Tim Horner - says that he’s finally got the Dirty White Boy where he wants.  He’s been running, hiding behind Ron Wright, hiding behind Smoky Mountain Wrestling, he’s had to chase him everywhere!  At Thanksgiving Thunder though he’s got him in a lumberjack match, where there will be eight men surrounding the ring and if you get thrown out, you get thrown straight back in.
6. Rock & Roll Express vs Paul Lee & Jeff Daniels
7. INT: Jim Cornette & Heavenly Bodies - Tom Prichard says that for four continuous days at Thanksgiving Thunder the Rock & Roll Express’ lives are going to be a living hell and they will end their career once and for all.
8. Down & Dirty w/ Bob Armstrong - they open by recapping what happened between Kevin Sullivan and Brian Lee last week, with Dutch giving a disclaimer that it is graphic footage and has been censored due to some complaints they've received about it.  The censoring (a black circle) makes no difference and to an extent makes it look worse as things are left to your imagination.  Dutch says that he doesn't blame Armstrong in his actions of suspending Sullivan as last week the whole show got out of control.  Bob says that he finally found out why Sullivan had this grudge against him and SMW and it is because when the company first started he wanted to come and wrestle here, however due to his bad reputation he didn't want him here and didn't need another problem.  As a result he held this grudge and finally picked his chance.  Armstrong says that he feels responsible because he let him come back and wrestle Brian Lee and when he entered the ring last week and saw what a bad condition Lee was in, he did lose control.  He's thought about things and while he is banning him from TV, if he wants to be so bad as to wrestle somebody, he's not going to let him get away with what he did.  He's going to pay for it as he knows a man who is as big, as bad, has been suspended from more territories than anyone and who he has personal experience with.  He tells Sullivan if he wants a part of this, if he wants to get a part of the real baddest men in the organisation, then at Thanksgiving Thunder he'll see the baddest of them all, the Mongolian Stomper.  A cool old video then plays of Bob Armstrong vs Mongolian Stomper from the 70s.  Armstrong says that he didn't even want to call the Stomper but did want to correct a wrong that he felt he caused, and at Thanksgiving Thunder the Mongolian Stomper will leave Sullivan looking twice as bad as Brian Lee.
9. Kevin Sullivan paid commercial - the commercial opens to the sound of the Rolling Stones’ ‘Sympathy for the Devil’ with Sullivan sat by a fire and the Nightstalker and Molokai flanking him on either side.  Sullivan says that what happened is on Bob Armstrong’s head as all he wanted was a chance to come to SMW, but just like the other federations, he said I was too violent. “It was never proven, it was lies, it was insinuendos.”  He says that this is just the beginning, wrestling has gone through a change, they want to sanitise it, make it a kiddie’s show, well he’s not for kids.  He was told he was not a good influence that he and his followers are what’s wrong with society and it’s because of people who pass judgment that is why he is here today.  The big organisations can sanitise wrestling all they want but this is Smoky Mountain Wrestling, this is where it’s all real!  Bob Armstrong has made another mistake at the Thanksgiving Thunder and he’s going to show the Mongolian Stomper that he is no longer a warrior, just an errand boy for the commissioner.  Sympathy for the Devil plays again as the commercial ends.
10. Tracey Smothers vs Robbie Eagle
11. Bob Caudle announces that next week’s ‘dream match’ will be Heavenly Bodies & Jim Cornette vs Rock & Roll Express & Bob Armstrong, however Armstrong felt that it would be a conflict of interests to wrestle so has designated Ron Garvin as his replacement.  This leads to a highly flustered Cornette rushing to the commentary desk and saying what are they talking about?  Says that you’re going to get him killed and they can’t put Garvin in the match and the Heavenly Bodies have to pull him away.
12. Robert Fuller & Jimmy Golden vs The Fantastics - Ron Wright & Tony Anthony join the commentary desk for this match.  Mark Curtis gets bumped and then Dutch Mantel says that this match is too important not to have a referee so goes to the ring to take his place.  It appears he is calling the match down the middle at first, but when Jackie goes for a crossbody off the top on Golden, Dutch pulls him out of the way.  Golden then covers Jackie and Dutch fast counts the pin.
13. INT: Paul Orndorff
14. INT: Rock & Roll Express & Ron Garvin - they say that if Jim Cornette sticks his nose in the ring next week he’s going out 1, 2, 3.

Bold matches are PWO recommended
