Aired March 20, 1993

Caton’s Chapel Elementary School, Sevierville, TN

1. INT: Bob Armstrong - he’s accompanied by Mr Sean Yamaguchi.  Earlier in the week Mr Yamaguchi flew in from Japan and presented them with a bill at the Smoky Mountain offices that they were supposed to pay due to the damage Kevin Sullivan did on his last trip there.  Sullivan had told Mr Yamaguchi that we would be responsible for that bill, but we’re not, that is an outright lie.  Armstrong says that when he told Mr Yamaguchi what had in fact happened he was really shook up by it, so has bought his young star Yukihiro Kanemura to take care of Sullivan and he is going to get his chance today.
2. INT: Tracey Smothers - he doesn’t care if the Dirty White Boy brings King Kong and Godzilla, there is no way he is beating him in the Tennessee chain match on 4/2 and he’s going to be the new SMW Heavyweight champion
3.  Tony Anthony (w/ Ron Wright) vs Lynn Fields - after getting the win Anthony wraps the chain round Fields’ neck and drags him to all four corners touching the turnbuckles, as a precursor to the chain match.
4. INT: Tony Anthony & Ron Wright - Bob Caudle starts by asking Wright is he has been out jogging this week?  Wright says that he is in a wheelchair, what do you mean?  Caudle states how he saw him get out of that wheelchair, but Wright claims that he didn’t.  He says that he passed out, doesn’t know what happened, doesn’t want to talk about it and he can’t believe that he’s trying to make out that a good, honest, Christian man like him is lying!  He has taught the Dirty White Boy everything there is to know about these chains and the people don’t realize how lucky they are to see a man of his caliber in a chain match.  Anthony says that there are no rules in a chain match; it can’t be stopped for blood, no-one can throw the towel in, all you have to do is drag your opponent round and touch all four corners and if Smothers has got the guts he will accept this match and we’ll see who walks out!
5. INT: Tracey Smothers, Rock & Roll Express
6. Recap of Jim Cornette unveiling Arn Anderson as the Rock & Roll Express’ mystery partner 
7. Stan Lane & Bobby Eaton (w/ Tom Prichard & Jim Cornette) vs Dixie Dy-No-Mite & Reno Riggins - Rock & Roll Express & Arn Anderson join the commentary desk for this match
8. INT: Jim Cornette & Bobby Eaton & Heavenly Bodies - Cornette says that everyone has been stirring up a lot of trouble and he just wants to clarify that there is no tension in the Heavenly Bodies.  He asks Eaton if he is upset with Prichard and he says that he isn’t, he then asks Prichard if he is upset with Eaton and he also says he isn’t, however he thinks that Bobby is the reason that Arn Anderson is mad with them.  This leads to Eaton shoving Dr Tom and Cornette has to get between them.  Cornette says that he was shocked when Arn showed up last week, the Rock & Rolls went to WCW and picked the one real wrestler, the one tough man there as their partner.  He’s seen him go to work on people and seen him take people and tear them piece by piece.  What the people are seeing in these six-man matches is a match comprised of the five greatest tag teams of the past ten years.  He tells Anderson that he knows he has had leg problems and they’re going to give him some more, but there will be no problems in the Heavenly Bodies!
9. Down & Dirty w/ Brian Lee - opens with a recap of Bob Armstrong running down the rules for the Russian Roulette match tonight in Knoxville.  Dutch says that today is a very important day in the wrestling career of Brian Lee, as today he rolls the dice and whatever number he rolls corresponds to the type of match that he is going to get with Kevin Sullivan.  Lee says what else can Sullivan do to him?  He’s cut him, burned him, he’s even broken his bones.  He believes that luck is now on his side, that he’s turned a corner and that Sullivan maybe seeing tombstones in his eyes.  Sullivan has done everything he can to him and when he rolls the dice later on today he’s going to come out on top.
10. INT: Yukihiro Kanemura & Mr Yamaguchi - Bob Caudle is about to interview them both when they are immediately jumped by Kevin Sullivan
11. Yukihiro Kanemura (w/ Mr Yamaguchi) vs Kevin Sullivan - Kanemura is busted open within 30 seconds and Sullivan does a number on him.  Violent, bloody and Kanemura is a mess.  He has a brief hope spot where he whips Sullivan into the turnbuckles, charges in after him but Sullivan meets him with the spike.  Sullivan stabs him in the arm (this looks pretty disgusting), before the big red censored cross makes an appearance on the screen to try and obscure the carnage.  Mark Curtis does a fantastic job with his facials selling the attack and how gruesome this is.  Sullivan starts gouging the spike into his arm and The Nightstalker comes out to stop anyone from helping Kanemura.  Larry Santo, Jeff Daniels and another jobber who try to help all get clobbered with chairs while Mr Yamaguchi gets in the ring to try and pull Kanemura to safety.  Brian Lee eventually runs out to make the save and gets the Japanese out of there.
12. Killer Kyle (w/ Jim Cornette) vs Tim Horner - Bob Armstrong briefly joins them at the commentary desk and says that Kevin Sullivan has overstepped the mark.  He’s fining him $5,000 and he’s going to make sure that he collects every last cent of it.
13. INT: Kevin Sullivan & The Nightstalker - Bob Caudle says that he has never seen anything like what happened earlier and the Nightstalker says that it is just another example of what he and ‘The Master’ are capable of.  He tells Bob Armstrong to go all over the world, bring anyone he can because they can’t be beat and every night some heads are going to roll.  Sullivan says that he is a misunderstood man.  That Japanese man tried to hurt him, he made him mad, he doesn’t like to get mad because when he does he loses his temper, he gets aggressive and angry and today Brian Lee is going to find out just how angry he is.
14. INT: Tony Anthony
15. INT: Rock & Roll Express & Arn Anderson - Arn says that he just witnesses a 21 year old kid from Japan get wheeled out of here and it's probably going to take 200 stitches to sew him up.  It made him a little sick; he thought he had seen it all, but what Jim Cornette does in the ring is no different to what just happened to that kid.  Maybe no-one had their head or arm split open to that degree, but what he's done is prey upon all these people in the surrounding areas.  He preyed on their wants, their needs and he preyed on the Rock & Roll Express, but he always did it four on two.  The Rock & Rolls didn't call for someone with a good heart to help them out, they called for the dirtiest player in the game and I'm just as capable of going to you and your guys what you witnessed happened to that kid.  He tells Bobby Eaton that he betrayed him, that he never cared for Stan Lane or his partner and he begs Cornette to what himself or the Express.  You may never see this team again, one of the Four Horsemen with the Rock & Roll Express, but one way he is going to get to Eaton and no man who has never had a jockstrap on in his life is going to intimidate him or his team.  Morton then tells Cornette that it'll all come to a head in Knoxville and he better be ready as they'll be waiting for them. This is soooooo good!  Anderson's third promo in the territory (after the reveal and one local interview) and another belter.  The way he linked what happened to Kanemura to the upcoming six-man is something only the best can do.  Real shame that he doesn't stick around for long as a prolonged feud between Anderson and Eaton here (with Cornette doing his talking) would have been something pretty bloody special).

Bold matches are PWO recommended
