1. Heavenly Bodies (w/ Jim Cornette) vs Larry Santo & Chris Comet
2. INT: Bob Armstrong - he is joined by the General Manager of Smoky Mountain Wrestling, Sandy Scott and first they replay the video from Knoxville where Jim Cornette pinned The Bullet.  Armstrong says that was the most embarrassing match of his life; he’s wrestled some tough men and has been beaten by them, has beaten World champions, but that was the most embarrassing match ever.  Over a quarter of a century he’s had a reputation, a reputation that he’s tried to build for him and his sons, but for this to happen in Knoxville puts a black spot on his heart and soul and it isn’t going to go unanswered.  He has already run this by Sandy Scott and first of all, in Johnson City, they are going to have a ‘Rage in the Cage’.  This is where this all started, it is where they beat his brains out, but this time he is going to be a participant in the match and not the referee.  The referee this time will be none other than the Big Boss Man and it will be Armstrong’s Army against Cornette’s Criminals at Fire on the Mountain.  Armstrong says that he wanted a personal one-on-one match with Cornette and Sandy Scott has granted him that.  In Knoxville, TN he will take on Cornette in a Lumberjack match, however all the lumberjacks will be armed with tennis rackets.  They are going to use the instrument that he himself has used to hurt so many people over these years on himself.  He then promises that if he doesn’t beat Cornette in the match, doesn’t send him to the same hospital in the same ambulance that he sent him too, then he’s going to refund everyone in that building’s money and it will be the last match he ever wrestles.  He will retire from wrestling and that’s an Armstrong guarantee.  Armstrong was exceptional in explaining this, although I’m not too sure what the purpose of Sandy Scott being there was (as he just stood there like a statue), unless it was to add to the gravitas and importance of it.  The refunding everyone in the building’s money does give away the result, although at least Armstrong had a case in which they claimed contained money to cover that, which Scott was looking after.
3. INT: Jim Cornette
4. Tim Horner vs Joe Cazana - Chris Candido joins them on commentary for this match
5. INT: Tim Horner - he says that Chris Candido made the biggest mistake of his career last week.  He has been to the Board of Directors of Smoky Mountain Wrestling and asked them for some special matches.  Horner has a bag with him and pulls out a baby bottle and one of the matches is going to be a ‘Baby Bottle’ match and that means the loser is going to have to take a swig of milk from the bottle.  He then pulls out some diapers and the implication is that the other match will be a ‘Diaper’ match where the loser has to wear them, although he doesn’t actually say this.  As poor as ever from Horner.
6. Down & Dirty w/ Tony Anthony - Dutch says how the Dirty White Boy has run into a situation with Bobby Blaze recently and questions whether he may have underestimated him slightly?  The White Boy can’t believe that Dutch asked him that.  No he didn’t underestimate anybody, he’s a thorn in his side, has whipped him all over the Smoky Mountain arena and is sick and tired of him being around.  He then makes a challenge to Blaze.  He will give him $100 for every minute he stays in the ring with him up to 10 minutes, if he lasts the 10 minutes he leaves $1,000 richer, he doesn’t even have to pin him.  However if he beats Blaze before the 10 minutes is up, then he is going to shave his head right in the middle of the ring.  They are joined by Blaze and he says that he hasn’t made a lot of money in this business, but that is too good an opportunity to turn down and accepts.
7. Video of Tracey Smothers filming a commercial for Redman Auto Sales.  Brian Lee and Tammy Fytch show up and  Fytch says that when it comes to cars, Smothers is a Toyota, whilst Primetime is a Rolls Royce.  Smothers responds by saying that Fytch knows plenty about cars as she’s been in the backseat of enough of them.  Fytch slaps Tracey which leads to he and Lee fighting in the auto lot.
8. INT: Brian Lee & Tammy Fytch - Tammy can’t believe Tracey Smothers attacked them the way that he did.  She has called her lawyer and they could have him arrested for assault and battery.  He’s just jealous that he doesn’t look like Brian, she isn’t his manager and he’s not the champion anymore.  Lee says how Smothers has been jealous of him since day one, he sees that he now has the gold and now has the lady and wants a coal miner’s glove match.  He’s going round saying that Brian Lee is using a black glove, that’s not a black glove, it’s a fist that is so quick it looks black because it’s on fire and smoking!  When he hits Smothers with that black glove he’s going out 1-2-3 and Primetime will be going home with the gold as always.  Really charismatic interview from Lee who shows tons of personality.  No idea where this has come from?
9. Tracey Smothers vs Juicy Johnny
10. INT: Tracey Smothers - says it’s not hard to tell who wears the pants in the Brian Lee and Tammy Fytch relationship.  Everyone knows he took that black glove, knocked him out and that is why he is the SMW Heavyweight champion.  Well now the glove is up on a pole and he’s going to scale that pole and knock him into the next area code and be the Heavyweight champion once again.
11. Tony Anthony vs Steve Armstrong - Jim Cornette and the Heavenly Bodies join them on commentary for this match.  With Armstrong in control, the Bodies go down to ringside and into the ring to attack him, quickly followed by Cornette.  The Bodies stretch him out and Cornette unloads with tennis racket shots to the mid-section.  He gets in four shots before Bob and Scott Armstrong (again carrying the baseball bat) rush out and they all flee the ring.  Another decent match but with a terrible, cheap finish.  Similarly to the Steve Armstrong vs Jimmy Del Ray match this is just a feud builder leading up to the Rage in the Cage.
12. INT: Bob & Steve & Scott Armstrong
13. INT: Rock & Roll Express - the interview opens with clips of a recent title match between them and the Bruise Brothers in Knoxville, TN where one of the twins whacked Morton in the head with his boot behind the referee’s back leading to him getting pinned.  Morton says that the Bruise Brothers are one of the toughest teams that he and Robert have ever faced, but everyone just saw how they beat the Rock & Roll Express.  They are going to take a page out of their own book and he challenges them to a title match.  If they are the champions that they say they are then they will put the titles on the line next week, just like they did.

Bold matches are PWO recommended
