Smoky Mountain Wrestling

TV

Aired January 23, 1993

1. Dixie Dy-No-Mite vs Paul Lee
2. Brian Lee vs Kevin Sullivan (jip, from Barbourville, KY) - with Lee in control one of Kevin Sullivan’s followers tries to interfere in the match.  Lee stops him as he is perched on the top turnbuckle and throws him to the canvas but he crashes into referee Mark Curtis.  This allows Sullivan to get hold of a spike and start another attack on Lee.  He continues to spike him whilst a big red cross with ‘censored’ written on it is put up on the screen to try and obstruct the view of the ‘attack’.  The follower also gets involved and the attack only ceases when Sandy Scott comes down and gets into the ring and tells Sullivan he will be suspended for life if he doesn’t stop.
3. INT: Brian Lee - dressing room interview. Says he’s sick and tired of Kevin Sullivan busting his head open with something every time that they meet.  He guarantees him that next time he will be the one to bleed, and he may have drawn the first blood but he will draw the last.
4. INT: Bob Armstrong - says that Smoky Mountain Wrestling isn’t big enough for both Kevin Sullivan and Brian Lee, someone is going to get hurt badly and someone is going to get hurt permanently.  He says that he is behind Brian Lee and he’s going to do his best to find someone to help him get rid of Sullivan.  He then tells Sullivan that no matter how many letters he and his lawyers write, they at Smoky Mountain are not going to pay for his psychiatric evaluation or psychiatric therapy and that’s a fact.
5. INT: Tracey Smothers, Rock & Roll Express
6. INT: Ron Wright & Tony Anthony - the Dirty White Boy says that Tracey Smothers owes him $10,000 for defeating him last week, as no-one would have been able to beat him for ten straight weeks!  He tells Smothers that he won’t be in professional wrestling for long when he gets through with him as there is only one man who rules professional wrestling in the Smoky Mountain area and you’re looking at him.  Bob Caudle then asks Wright if he’s had any word off Reno Riggins this week but Wright is disgusted.  A man of his caliber giving him the opportunity of a lifetime and he still hasn’t given him an answer?  He’s about to pop an artery and will have to double up on his heart medicine!  He tells Riggins he better get his mind made up as he needs all the help he can get.
7. Tracey Smother vs Reno Riggins - Ron Wright is at ringside to watch the bout and to offer some advice to Riggins.  It makes no difference as Smothers gets the win in what was a fairly competitive match.
8. INT: Tracey Smothers - he tells the Dirty White Boy if he wants some of him he hasn’t got to go very far.  He then says that Reno Riggins is a tremendous athlete and calls him over.  Smothers tells him that he has got a tremendous amount of talent and doesn’t need that Ron Wright, he’s been on that side of the fence and it’s the wrong road.  He tells him he is star bound, is one of the best scientific wrestlers he’s ever faced and he’s faced everybody.  Bob Caudle then asks him if he’s made a decision yet, but Riggins says he would rather not touch on that at the moment, however he would like to thank Tracey Smothers for saying all those nice things about him and the fans for backing him.
9. Down & Dirty w/ Tim Horner - opens with a recap of what happened between Paul Orndorff and Horner on last week’s episode of Down & Dirty.  Dutch says that he doesn’t agree with the way Orndorff acted last week and thinks that Horner did the right thing by coming out and doing what he did.  Horner then tells Orndorff if he’s got something to say, say it to his face, don’t talk about his family, his friends and especially his fans.
10. Lengthy history package on what’s happened between the Rock & Roll Express, the Heavenly Bodies and the Stud Stable
11. INT: Tony Anthony
12. INT: Bob Armstrong - he has chosen the Stud Stable as the number one contenders and they will face the Rock & Roll Express on TV for the tag team titles next week.  They are interrupted by Jim Cornette and the Heavenly Bodies who say that they are the number one contenders and that they should have a shot at the belts.  Armstrong tells him that they’ve had their chances, the Stud Stable haven’t had any yet, so he is giving them one.  Cornette responds by saying they haven’t had a chance to cure cancer or do heart surgery either, that’s because they’re not qualified and they’re not qualified to be the tag team champions, we are!  He then warns Dutch Mantel that they Stud Stable better stay out of their business from now on and he’s going to call his Mama’s attorneys and see about this title situation.  Armstrong tells him if he wants to call someone, here’s a quarter, call anyone you want to and then leaves them to it.  Dutch returns with the Studs and Lane tells them that they don’t deserve a title match.  A shoving match ensues before they agree to go to the ring and an impromptu match takes place.
13. Heavenly Bodies (w/ Jim Cornette) vs Robert Fuller & Jimmy Golden (w/ Dutch Mantel) - the show goes off the air with the match still in progress

Bold matches are PWO recommended
