1. Brian Lee (w/ Tammy Fytch) vs Jimmy Jannetty
2. Recap of Tracey Smothers and Brian Lee from last week’s Down & Dirty
3. INT: Brian Lee & Tammy Fytch - Lee tells Tracey Smothers that he is nothing but a redneck and was jealous of him ever since his second week in the industry.  He states that with Fytch by his side he’s going straight to the top.  He was the first SMW Heavyweight champion and when he had it stolen from him everyone overlooked it, but now he is going to get back what is his.  Fytch tells Lee that if he wins that title, he’ll get the biggest prize yet.
4. INT: Tracey Smothers - he has been in the sport a long time and has never had a woman slap him like Tammy Fytch did last week.  He tells her that if she lays her hands on him again she better be ready to face the consequences, as although he’s never touched a woman in all his time in the sport, he make an exception for her.  He tells Lee if he wants the bounty and the SMW title he’s going to have to come through him to get them.
5. Recap of Rock & Roll Express vs Bruise Brothers from last week
6. INT: Rock & Roll Express - Ricky Morton says that it is like a reoccurring nightmare with Jim Cornette as now he’s got the Bruise Brothers to stand behind while he talks all big and bad.  Morton tells him that the Armstrong family have created an army.  The Armstrong boys are going to take care of the Heavenly Bodies, it’s up to them to take care of the Bruise Brothers, whilst they are going to save Cornette for the Bullet himself and it’ll happen sooner rather than later.
7. INT: Rock & Roll Express, Bob Armstrong
8. Bobby Blaze is in the ring scheduled to face Dutch Mantel in his ‘Beat the Champ’ TV title defense, when Dutch comes out and claimed he pulled a muscle in the back when putting his boots on.  He went to find his good friend Ron Wright and told him about the predicament he is in and Wright told him that he could get him a replacement.  He then introduces his replacement, The Mighty Yankee (a masked Tony Anthony).
9. Bobby Blaze vs The Mighty Yankee (w/ Ron Wright) - Wright puts a foreign object in the Yankee’s mask, he then headbutts Blaze and gets the pin to be the new TV champion.
10. INT: Bobby Blaze - he knows that it was the Dirty White Boy in there behind the mask and while he knew being TV champion wouldn’t last forever, he didn’t like being cheated out of the title.  He tells the White Boy that he may have beaten him, but he didn’t break his spirit and he can’t make him quit.
11. Down & Dirty w/ Jim Cornette & Heavenly Bodies & Bruise Brothers & Killer Kyle - Mantel says how his leg is killing him and Cornette appreciates him coming out there and interviewing them whilst he has an injury.  Dutch claims that what we all saw Bob Armstrong do last week was attempted murder when he went after Cornette’s men with a baseball bat.  They air the clip and Cornette says how Armstrong bought that deadly weapon, that baseball bat into the ring and cleaned house with it.  He may think he’s going to beat up the Bruise Brothers, the Heavenly Bodies and Killer Kyle before getting to him, but that’s not going to happen.  He calls them ‘Cornette’s Criminals’, but Cornette says Bob Armstrong ought to know all about criminals as he has it on good authority that his entire family has been getting arrested in the states of Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee for the past 150 years.  He’s a descendant of garbage and that makes him garbage and tells him not to band the word ‘criminal’ about just look at the odds he is facing.  He has a rag tag army of his pencil necked sons and those has beens the Rock & Roll Express and he is going to put them up against the awesome power of the Bruise Brothers, the Heavenly Bodies, who have gone round the world defeating all comers, and Killer Kyle, a man who’s past will make you shudder.  Armstrong’s Army will not be on the march, they will be on the retreat.  The only thing Cornette is upset about is that Smoky Mountain Wrestling wouldn’t let the Bruise Brothers give the tag team belts to the Heavenly Bodies, but that still means that the Rock & Roll Express will have to beat the Bruise Brothers to get the belts back and that isn’t going to happen.
12. Bob Caudle says how last week they announced Kevin Sullivan had been suspended worldwide due to his vicious attack on Yukihiro Kanemura.  The tape is so gory that Caudle says they can’t show it on TV, however Sullivan’s attorneys have contacted them and are saying that Smoky Mountain Wrestling and promoters round the world are depriving him of making a living and are demanding the tape be shown to prove that he was provoked.  Caudle says that they are standing by their decision, the tape won’t be shown and Kevin Sullivan remains suspended.
13. Bob & Steve & Scott Armstrong vs Mike Sampson & Robbie Eagle & Jeff Daniels - at various points throughout the match Ron & Don Harris, Jimmy Del Ray, Tom Prichard and Killer Kyle all come out to surround the ring.  Just as the Armstrong’s get the win, Jim Cornette makes his way out, gives the signal and all his men jump in the ring and attack the Armstrong’s with Cornette himself taking out referee Flash Morris.  Cornette then starts to hit Bob Armstrong in the sternum repeatedly again with his tennis racket, until the Rock & Roll Express (who have with them a baseball bat) make the save.
14. Chris Candido vs Tim Horner - Horner gets the pin and Candido throws a temper tantrum in the ring afterwards.
15. INT: Jim Cornette
16. INT: Bob & Steve & Scott Armstrong & Rock & Roll Express - Bob says that Cornette’s Criminals failed again.  They tried to take him out but his ribs have healed and hardened up and they didn’t get the job done.  He is carrying the baseball with him which he refers to as the ‘Louisville Slugger’ and tells Cornette that when he brings his racket up against the ‘Slugger’, he’ll come out on the short end.  Armstrong family tradition is to pay what you owe and they owe Cornette plenty and are going to pay in full.

Bold matches are PWO recommended
