Haysi High School, Haysi, VA

1. INT: Ron Wright & Tony Anthony - Wright says that he didn’t know how redneck, ignorant and backwards these hillbillies in the South were until he got out of the South and moved up North.  He had to go to Duke University in the North to find out what was wrong with his heart.  He thought the whole world was covered in smog until an opticians up there sorted his eyesight out and he can now see everything.  In addition he had comes down with something and had been having these attacks, no-one in the South could find out what was wrong with him, but the doctors in the North found out he had asthmatic bronchitis and they’re going to sort that our for him too.  He says that he is the master of the chain match, had 513 of them in his 22 year career and only lost one of them, and that was because someone in the crowd threw a bottle of liquor into the ring, it hit him on his head and knocked him out!  He hunted the world over to find someone who could fill his shoes and he found him in his beloved Dirty White Boy, and he feels sorry for anyone who gets in the ring with him in one of these matches.
2. Rock & Roll Express vs Mike Sampson & The Avenger
3. INT: Rock & Roll Express
4. INT: Tracey Smothers, Rock & Roll Express
5. Down & Dirty w/ Tracey Smothers - they start by playing a video recapping the Dirty White Boy attacking Smothers with the chain from last week.  Dutch says how Ron Wright passed the legacy of the Chain match down to the Dirty White Boy and if Smothers is going to wrestle the Heavyweight title away from him he’ll have to do it in his own backyard and in his own match.  Smothers says that Anthony has a lot of dues to pay; he burnt the confederate flag, he cost him $5,000 and he cost him the Smoky Mountain title.  If Ron Wright says that he hates these hillbillies and coalminers, then he hates him because he is just like them.  It may be his speciality but that is in the past, and in these chain matches he’s going to become the new SMW Heavyweight champion.
6. INT: Tim Horner - reckons that last week he was well on his way to winning $5,000.  He knows he could beat Bobby Eaton and so did Jim Cornette, that’s why he interfered and hit him with his racket.  He’s not taking this lightly, that’s a lot of money, so he’s putting up $5,000 of his own money and wants Cornette to do the same for a challenge match (Horner makes an absolute mess of this interview).
7. Bobby Eaton (w/ Jim Cornette) vs Jimmy Golden - Cornette hits Golden in the throat with his tennis racket which leads to Robert Fuller coming to ringside to try and offset him.  Dropkick from Golden and Cornette reaches into the ring and puts Eaton’s leg over the bottom rope to halt the count.  Fuller chases after Cornette and Mark Curtis tries to stop him.  Golden has an abdominal stretch on Eaton and with Curtis still seeing to Fuller, Cornette gets in the ring and clobbers Golden in the back with the racket.  Eaton covers him for the win while Dutch Mantel screams “there’s no justice in Smoky Mountain” on commentary.  The Stud Stable double team Eaton until the Heavenly Bodies run out to turn the tide in their favour.  Dutch then says we’re going to even this up and leaves the commentary desk to help his fellow Stud Stable members.
8. INT: Robert Fuller & Jimmy Golden & Dutch Mantel - they can’t sleep at night thinking about the three team street fight, anything goes.  Fuller guarantees that the Stud Stable are going to go hard on everybody and it’ll be proven that they’re the finest team this area has ever seen.
9. INT: Jim Cornette & Bobby Eaton & Heavenly Bodies - Bob Caudle says to Cornette that the Stud Stable are ready and he enquires for what?  The retirement home?  Alcoholics Anonymous?  Maybe they're ready to go home, watch TV, drink beer and leave competing in sports to real men like them?  He says that they've come to the conclusion that even though they can beat the Rock & Roll Express time and again, they don't know when to quit, so they plan to embarrass them out of SMW and maybe all of wrestling too.  He informs us that Bob Armstrong isn't here today and produces and injunction from his pocket.  So far the ‘Beat the Champ’ challenger has been picked at the start of every program and whomever the champ is doesn't get the time to prepare for them.  This injunction changes that as he argued in court that a man needs the chance to prepare for his challenger, so from now the challenger will be picked one week ahead in advance.  Caudle picks the name of Eaton's challenger for next week and picks Tom Prichard.  Cornette sells this great and thinks all the pieces of paper in the hat only had Prichard's name on them.  When he sees that they don't, he tears the injunction up and says that they don't need it, but Prichard says that he would quite like to have the match.  Prichard and Eaton get into a shoving match with Cornette having to get between them.  Cornette again tries to say that Prichard doesn't want the match, but Prichard informs Caudle that he did a hell of a job in pulling his name out and he'll take it.  Tremendous segment, especially from Cornette.
10. An update on Kevin Sullivan's latest therapy session with Dr Michael Phillips while Nancy (from shown from the neck down) feeds him grapes (they don't refer to her as Nurse Kratchett this time) - Sullivan is feeling a lot better but that isn't going to stop him from doing what he wants because he has been persecuted, he has been looked down upon and has been made to feel unwelcome in SMW.  He's going to take this out on everybody starting with Brian Lee and the grapes of wrath are going to fall down on him.
11. Kevin Sullivan & The Nightstalker vs Brian Lee & Tim Horner - Horner hits a crossbody off the top on the Nightstalker when out comes The Tasmaniac (not named).  He climbs the turnbuckles, is about to splash Horner when Lee pulls Horner out the way and he lands on the Nightstalker instead.  Horner then re-covers the ‘Stalker for the win.
12. INT: Jim Cornette
13. INT: Kevin Sullivan & The Nightstalker & The Tasmaniac - Sullivan says that in wars and battles, if the soldiers can’t follow the general’s orders things don’t turn out like they should do.  He says that he demands total respect and dedication for the course and then tells the Nightstalker ‘no more mistakes’.  The Nightstalker says that he didn’t make a mistake, he’s followed him loyally and has never made a mistake.  Sullivan tells him not to forget who ‘The Master’ is and who the follower is before walking off.

Bold matches are PWO recommended
