Smoky Mountain Wrestling

TV

Aired June 19, 1993

1. Dr Dutch Mantel is sporting a mortar board and gown and carrying a diploma to prove that he really is a Doctor of Philosophy as people have apparently been doubting him
2. Steve & Scott Armstrong vs Paul Lee & Jeff Daniels
3. INT: Steve & Scott Armstrong - they have another video from Bob Armstrong and he heard about the raw deal that Scott and Steve got this past week on TV.  Jim Cornette is always interfering, he’ll never learn, but a lesson is coming his way 7/4 weekend.  He’s not ready to wrestle yet but he’s going to be sat at ringside then and has a letter from his doctor who will release him within the next two weeks.  He may not be as fast as he used to be, but even half-assed he can take care of Cornette.  Scott says that in two weeks the Bullet makes his return to Smoky Mountain Wrestling, so if there is something that Cornette wants to do, he better go ahead and do it sharp.
4. INT: Jim Cornette & Heavenly Bodies - opens with a recap of the Bodies vs Steve & Scott Armstrong from last week.  Cornette says that is the greatest thing he’s ever seen, the way that they fair and square beat the Armstrong boys and he tells them that they are in for the fight of their lives.  He’s heard them talking about the Armstrong tradition, well the Armstrong tradition is alcoholism and unemployment!  Bob Armstrong has said that he is coming back in a couple of weeks and will be at ringside to make sure that he doesn’t interfere in the matches.  He says that he doesn’t need to interfere for his boys to beat those pencil neck sons of his, but Bullet Bob is coming back too soon and ahead of Doctor’s advice.  What’s been hurt once can be hurt again and next time he meets his tennis racket, it isn’t just his ribs that he will be going after.
5. INT: Tim Horner, Steve & Scott Armstrong
6. Bruise Brothers (w/ Jim Cornette) vs Chris Comet & Larry Santo - Bruise Brothers are DQ’d for throwing Comet over the top rope to the floor and continue to beat on the jobbers with chairs after the match.
7. INT: Ron Wright & Abdul Hassan - Wright has bought Hassan in all the way from Baghdad, Iraq.  He knows that he is going to collect that bounty because he’s going to put the money towards rebuilding some of the milk factories that were destroyed by the U.S. troops when they were dropping their bombs over there, as those poor little infant babies haven’t even got any milk to drink anymore!  They’re going to take care of Tracey Smothers today and when it’s over, these hypocrite wrestling fans from around here are likely to see the old, honorable Ron Wright walking on water over that ring after Hassan collects that $20,000.
8. Down & Dirty w/ Chris Candido - Dr Dutch says that there is some discrimination from Smoky Mountain Wrestling with their reservations about recognizing the WWA title.  Candido can’t understand why they won’t recognize it as the real World Heavyweight title?  SMW already has one lawsuit against them for sexual discrimination and he might take a Class Act lawsuit and sue them for not recognizing the real World title, as they are discriminating against him too.  Dr Dutch questions why he thinks they are discriminating against him and he says it’s because he is from New Jersey and they don’t like people from the North here.  He says he is Ric Flair and Buddy Rogers all rolled into one (except better) and Smoky Mountain Wrestling is scared of someone coming in and wiping out all their talent.  He closes by saying as the real World champion he will win the ‘King of Kentucky’ this Thursday in a cakewalk.
9. Brian Lee vs Robbie Eagle - Lee becomes the first undefeated Beat the Champ title holder and gets a $5,000 bonus on top of his $1,000 for winning the match.
10. INT: Rock & Roll Express - they say they’ve been in every major organization in the world, have been four times World tag team champions, four times Smoky Mountain tag team champions, but the Bruise Brothers are the toughest team that they have ever faced.  The last time they got in the ring with them they attacked them, but this time it will be face to face.  Morton says that they may be big, they may hit them twenty times and go down each time, but he promises them that they will get straight back up and in their face and that every dog does have its day.
11. INT: Tim Horner - he has a match scheduled against Tracey Smothers for 7/2 in Morristown, TN.  It’s going to be a good clean match, but they’re going to have to put their friendship aside for it.
12. Abdul Hassan (w/ Ron Wright) vs Tracey Smothers - prior to the match commencing Tammy Fytch comes out and gets into the ring.  She tells Smothers that he doesn’t need to be worrying about this bounty, and with all these people after him he needs someone a little smarter than him to schedule his matches and watch out for him.  All he has to do is sign a contract with her and he won’t have to worry about a thing.  Smothers says that he has been nothing but nice to her, but he’s got problems and people after him.  He says that there is no doubt she is a beautiful women, but ugly is to the bone and if you get down to that bone “you’re so ugly it looks like you fell off the ugly tree and hit every branch.”  He tells her to get out of here and Fytch storms off before making her way to the commentary desk.  She says that no man turns down Tammy Fytch and he will be sorry that he didn’t take his chance.  Towards the end of the match Wright hands Hassan some powder and he throws it at Smothers, who ducks, and the powder lands flush in Mark Curtis’ face.  Smothers hits a powerslam and out comes Tony Anthony, who climbs the turnbuckles and comes off with a splash but Smothers moves and he hits Hassan instead.  A second referee rushes from the back and counts the fall as Smothers gets the win.  The Dirty White Boy jumps him after the match and the two of them double team Smothers until Tim Horner makes the save.  They clear the ring of the heels but face off after doing so with their title match just around the corner.
13. INT: Tony Anthony, Jim Cornette
14. INT: Brian Lee - says he’s the first person to retire undefeated as the TV champion and not only won $1,000 today, but received a $5,000 bonus as well.  He is interrupted by Tracey Smothers who tells the Dirty White Boy he can stick that bounty where the sun don’t shine.  If he wants to send a bunch of cronies because he can’t get the job done that’s fine with him, and it will be a cold day in July before any “Dirty White Trash or any goofy bounty hunters will put this country boy down.”  He apologizes to Lee for interrupting his interview time, but says that was something he just had to say.  Lee is visibly annoyed when Smothers is talking and taking over his time, and when Bob Caudle says to Lee that he’s got to be proud of the way Smothers is handling these bounty hunters, he says “Yeah, right,” before walking off.  I smell a heel turn.

Bold matches are PWO recommended
