1. Robert Fuller & Jimmy Golden vs Reno Riggins & Lynn Fields
2. INT: Robert Fuller & Jimmy Golden & Dutch Mantel - they’ve got the street fight this Friday in Pikeville against the Heavenly Bodies and Rock & Roll Express & Arn Anderson.  Golden says that they’ve beaten them all before and will do so again.
3. Brian Lee vs Larry Santo
4. Singapore Spike: Brian Lee vs Kevin Sullivan (jip, from 3/21 in Knoxville, TN) - The Nightstalker comes down and into the ring about to get involved in the match when he is intercepted by Tim Horner.  As all four men are fighting, The Tasmaniac shows up and moves the Singapore Spike out of one of the boxes and into another.  Lee goes to where the spike ‘should’ be but can’t find it, meanwhile Sullivan goes to the box where the Tasmaniac has moved it to and gets hold of it.  He is about to attack Lee with the spike but he blocks him, Sullivan drops the spike and Lee picks it up.  Sullivan is backed into a corner and as Lee goes to hit him with the spike Sullivan unleashes a fireball, hits Lee with the spike and gets the pin.
5. INT: Brian Lee - after what happened in Knoxville he has a return Russian Roulette match against Kevin Sullivan in Pikeville.  He says that he wants to take Sullivan to the depths of hell where he belongs, and tells him to turn that chamber and put it to his head because he’s going to blow it right off.
6. INT: Jim Cornette
7. Tony Anthony vignette training for the Tennessee Chain match - Anthony claims to be training in Central Park “right in the middle of New York City”, when he is in fact out in the woods somewhere!  Ron Wright has sent him to train hard with the chain and make him proud because Wright never lost a chain match in his career and he doesn’t plan on being the man to bring shame upon the chain.  Anthony destroys a bag of flour (that reminds him of Tracey Smothers’ lily white guts) with the chain, before obliterating a melon (that reminds him of Smothers head), a pineapple (he’s heard Smothers likes his women thorny and a little bushy) and a beer bottle.  He tells Smothers that this is what’s going to happen when he shows up for the chain match, he’s going to beat his skull out and stick his chain down his throat!
8. Tracey Smothers vs Jeff Daniels - Tony Anthony jumps Smothers after the match whipping him with the chain before choking him with it.  Tim Horner, Dixie Dy-No-Mite and Reno Riggins rush from the dressing room to help and the Dirty White Boy quickly exits the ring.
9. INT: Tracey Smothers - he tells the Dirty White Boy that it’s a good job he’s wearing that New York Yankees cap and shirt because he’s like a stinking Yankee and has to jump everybody from behind.  This Friday he won’t be coming from behind, it’ll be straight up and he’s going to jack some jaw, kick some ass and that’s the bottom line!
10. Down & Dirty w/ Kevin Sullivan - a special edition of Down & Dirty and Dutch informs us that he has a pre-law background, a pre-med background and has some psychiatry courses behind him too.  He thinks that if Smoky Mountain Wrestling are paying the bill for Kevin Sullivan's psychiatric treatment he may as well get in on the action.  They're in a secluded place for this session (which is in fact the ring, where the only light is provided by a torch) with Dr Dutch, as Sullivan thinks that there are people following him.  Sullivan says that Smoky Mountain Wrestling have tried to hinder him every step of the way, they've tried to block him and have people following him all the time.  Dr Dutch tries to find out who these people are.  Sullivan says that they are mindless, faceless people, he's probably seen them himself, and they drive round in brown LTD's with a Missouri license plate.  Dutch thinks he's seen them and that they could well be following him round too.  Dutch runs down the types of match in the Russian Roulette Death match and Sullivan comments on them all; Prince of Darkness, Stretcher, Handicap (Sullivan & The Nightstalker vs Brian Lee), Fire (includes clip of Mr Pogo vs Mitsuhiro Matsunaga from Japan), Singapore Spike and Brian Lee's choice.  Sullivan says what kind of choice could he have facing him?  He repeats “what kind of choice” over and over maniacally as Dutch ends the session.
11. INT: Bob Armstrong & Rock & Roll Express & Arn Anderson - Armstrong says that Smoky Mountain Wrestling needs a good house cleaning, he’s tried fining guys and even suspended Paul Orndorff indefinitely, but what these guys need is forced action.  Brian Lee is going to get his shot at Kevin Sullivan, but in case he doesn’t get the job done, he’s got a line of guys a mile long ready to step in the ring with him.  He fined him $5,000, but his followers came up with the money and whilst he hasn’t got to him yet, it’s not over.  He says that this Friday it’s the great Smoky Mountain Showdown at the Bluegrass Brawl, three teams, nine men in the ring and only the strongest shall survive.  Ricky Morton says that with the combination of Arn Anderson and the Rock & Roll Express, they don’t care what it takes because when it’s over this is the team that will be left in the ring.  Arn says that for the last couple of weeks he’s had a strange cramping in his arm and his fingers have been cramping in the position of the Four Horseman.  It means the symbol of excellence, it means if you want a collection of broken bones, you want to get hurt?  You jump on the Horsemen.  He has hurt Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson in his career and they’ve returned in kind many times, but in his stupidity and harping about Bobby Eaton he’s forgotten about the team of Dutch Mantel & the Stud Stable.  Robert Fuller has been saying how he’s going to get his bad leg, but he thrives on pain, the more he gets hurt the more he likes it (maybe a girl from St Louis instilled that in him one night?), but he guarantees the six of them that someone will get hurt.  No ring will contain it, anyone with children leave them at home, somebody is going to have to bow out and if you want to take a powder go ahead, because the life you save may be your own.
12. Tim Horner vs Bobby Eaton (w/ Jim Cornette) - Horner goes for an O'Connor roll and Mark Curtis leapfrogs both men to get out of the way, and as they hit the ropes Cornette cracks Horner in the head with his racket.  Eaton then covers him and gets the win to be the new Beat the Champ TV champion.  Match was nothing up to the finish.
13. INT: Brian Lee, Rock & Roll Express
14. INT: Jim Cornette & Bobby Eaton & Heavenly Bodies - there’s a bit of dissension in the ranks as Eaton tries to grab Tom Prichard’s tag belt off him.  Prichard won’t let him have it, but Stan eventually gives his belt to Bobby for him to hold.  Cornette says at the Bluegrass Brawl, the greatest combination in wrestling is going to take care of some business; they’re going to get the Stud Stable out of their hair, they’re going to get rid of the Rock & Roll Express and if they have to in the process, they’re going to take care of Arn Anderson too.  Since the formation of Smoky Mountain Wrestling the Heavenly Bodies have never lost a Street Fight and when the smoke clears, it will be the Bodies who are standing there with their hands in the air.  The tag team titles, the Beat the Champ title, all the money, all the gold, all the woman and all the glory!

Bold matches are PWO recommended
