1. Tracey Smothers vs Robbie Eagle
2. Recap of the Tony Anthony vs Tracey Smothers ‘Coward Waves the Flag’ match
3. INT: Tracey Smothers - says that people have been questioning him as to whether there are problems between him and Tim Horner.  Everyone has seen the footage, Don Wright came and attacked him and he was just returning the favor hitting him with the flag, but the referee thought he was waving it.  The belt has been held up, it’s a bunch of nonsense and he is going to settle things with the Dirty White Boy on 6/11.  Horner comes out and for his own piece of mind asks Smothers whether he has a problem with him?  Smothers says not at all and he considers him one of his best friends.  Horner says that people have been trying to stir things up between them, but if he doesn’t have a problem with him he’ll be in his corner just like he has been since day one.
4. INT: Jim Cornette
5. Steve & Scott Armstrong vs Mike Sampson & Paul Lee
6. INT: Steve & Scott Armstrong - they play a video from Bob Armstrong and he is out in the back garden and looks in great physical shape.  His wrist is better, but he still has to wear the support for his ribs.  Soon the Armstrong Army will be full and Jim Cornette is going to pay the ultimate price because he will not rest until he gets him, if it's the last thing he does.  He is healing every day and can't wait to start training because when he does, he'll be thinking of one man.  Scott says that since they were young their father has been a professional wrestler and they were used to seeing him come home with a broken bone or some stitches, but from men like the Mongolian Stomper, Terry Funk and Harley Race, not from a man like Jim Cornette.  The Bullet will not be able to live with the humiliation, but they’re not going to touch a hair on Cornette’s head, they’re going to leave that to him.  In regards to the Heavenly Bodies, he says that they’re just like a snake in that if you cut their head off another one wriggles out.  Tom Prichard may have bought one of his relatives in, but he’s got 245lb of little brother himself! Good promo from Scott here.
7. Down & Dirty w/ Rock & Roll Express - Ricky Morton says for the last seven years they’ve been trying to get rid of the Midnight Express and then the Heavenly Bodies and after all the blood, sweat and tears, Stan Lane is out of here.  Dutch tells them to hold on as there is a new, big team being bought into the area by Jim Cornette and he is keeping their identity a secret.  He says they can be 300lbs, they can be known all over the world and while there is nothing they can do about Cornette bringing them in to jump on them, there is a lot they can do about getting them off.  They are then joined by Tammy Fytch and she says that now they have won the tag team titles they need someone to manage them, preferably someone with a good business mind because they clearly don’t know much about business. “Rock & Roll is out, Rap is in!”  She says just sign a contract with her and with her brains, knowledge and business mind she will take them all the way to the top.  Dutch reminds the Rock & Rolls that her idol is Hilary Clinton; she took a nobody all the way to the White House and he thinks she may do a lot of good for them.  They turn her down and when Dutch asks her what she thinks of that she tells him to shut up and storms off.
8. INT: Ron Wright & Tony Anthony - Bob Caudle tells them that Tracey Smothers is looking forward to 6/11 in Knoxville and Wright says that he won’t make it to 6/11.  He recently cashed in a $20,000 insurance policy and is putting every dime of it up as a bounty on Tracey Smothers and any man who puts him out of wrestling will get that money.  Ron has a bit of a coughing fit and the Dirty White Boy says he hopes someone collects that bounty before 6/11 and $20,000 will make a man do a lot of things.
9. Tim Horner vs Gary Scott
10. INT: Chris Candido - says that he is the real World champion and is just about to embark on a World tour to defend the most prestigious belt in wrestling, the WWA Heavyweight title.  The World tour is so important that the WWA have gone ahead and made him a brand new championship belt.  He’s ready to come and defend this title and next week he’ll be in Smoky Mountain Wrestling and some stupid hillbilly will get the chance of a lifetime to take on the real Heavyweight champion of the world.
11. Brian Lee vs Jimmy Golden - Dutch Mantel ends up leaving the commentary desk to go down to ringside as he and Golden had planned to split the $1,000.  Dutch hands Golden a chain and as he is about to hit Lee, Mark Curtis spots it o his fist, catches the arm to block the punch and DQ’s him.  Terrible finish.
12. INT: Jim Cornette
13. INT: Jim Cornette & Heavenly Bodies - Bob Caudle tells Cornette that they’ve spoken to the Armstrong’s and they are united.  That doesn’t seem to bother him and he mocks being scared at the news.  He says Steve & Scott Armstrong are just like their old man, a bunch of redneck morons!  He tells the Rock & Roll Express that his mystery team will be here this weekend, they’re going to tear them limb from limb and then deliver the tag team titles to him.  As for old man Armstrong, he’s washed up, is a has been and is never coming back.  Tom Prichard then says that Steve and Scott’s girlfriends are constantly calling and trying to get dates with them and maybe if they stop, they can then get some more work and training accomplished.

Bold matches are PWO recommended
