1. Steve & Scott Armstrong vs Juicy Johnny & Joe Cazana
2. INT: Jim Cornette & Heavenly Bodies - it amazes Tom Prichard that the guy who used to be Commissioner of Smoky Mountain Wrestling still has people in his pocket.  You can tell that by the way they go and get some criminal like the Big Boss Man and lock him in a cage with them.  No matter how you try to cut it and how you look at it, they’ve still got all the brains on their side.  Bob Caudle says that the word is Jim Cornette is getting a little bit nervous.  “You wouldn’t be nervous?  Smoky Mountain Wrestling is sanctioning murder with a money back guarantee and you wouldn’t be nervous if this guy was coming after you?  He’s a homicidal psychopath and he wants to kill me!”  Cornette says he know why Armstrong knows so much about criminals as he’s done a genealogical survey of the Armstrong family.  He proceeds to run down a whole host of Armstrong’s (he’s related to Buford Armstrong the first man to step inside a Georgia reformatory, his daughter was very successful in school, she was voted most likely to conceive etc.) and says that Bob is a filthy, stinking redneck.  He hates his family, everything about him and they are nothing but thieves, cut throats, backstabbers, criminals and low life stinking unemployed bums! The Rage in the Cage isn’t going to go down the way he thinks and as for the K-Town Showdown, he’s working on his options.  Yes he’s worried, Bob Armstrong has got a lot of money riding on hospitalizing him but he isn’t going to let it happen, neither are the Heavenly Bodies, neither are the Bruise Brothers and maybe neither will the Big Boss Man if he can just get 10 minutes with him before August 20.  Good interview.
3. INT: Bob & Steve & Scott Armstrong & Rock & Roll Express
4. INT: Big Boss Man - from the prison exercise yard.  Says that the ‘Rage in the Cage’ is coming down, five men against five men, it’s Armstrong’s Army versus Cornette’s Criminals.  There has got to be a man that can handle all this madness, all this wildness and that’s the Big Boss Man.  He’s going to make sure everything is fair and square in the match.  All his life he has tried to walk the straight and narrow, his parents always told him to do what’s right and that way you’ll walk through life knowing what you’re doing is right.  Well Kevin Sullivan has been walking, stepping on people and trying to ruin lives for long enough.  Plain and simple crimes have been committed and Kevin Sullivan has got to pay by law, order and justice.  Real good and intense interview from the Boss Man and can’t remember many (if any) like this in the WWF.
5. Tony Anthony vs Chris Comet - Bobby Blaze joins them on commentary for this match
6. INT: Chris Candido - he doesn’t like all this talks about pampers or about baby bottles, he’s the World Champion, he’s a ‘wrestler’ that’s what he does.  Smoky Mountain Wrestling thinks it’s some real wrestling organization?  In the WWA, a real wrestling promotion based in a real part of the country, Jersey, you never hear anything about baby bottles, pampers or anything ridiculous like that.  He tells Tim Horner that he will take those matches against him because he knows there is no way he’s going to suck on a bottle or wear a diaper.  He’s going to be calling his close personal friend Dennis Coraluzzo, the president of the WWA, about this and he may just come down to Smoky Mountain Wrestling himself.
7. Down & Dirty w/ Bob Armstrong - Dutch opens by playing an Armstrong training video, purportedly taped somewhere in the jungles of South America.  It shows The Bullet putting his men through their paces in the woods doing some exercises with them all wearing camouflage and face paint.  Interspersed with this are clips of previous in ring action involving Armstrong’s Army and the Criminals.  The Bullet says that Cornette’s reign will come to an end at Rage in the Cage.  He’s got an Army behind him, they’ve been through maneuvers and are ready for any kind of warfare that Cornette wants as he has trained them hard.  The keeper of the key, the Big Boss Man, is big and bad enough to see that no-one gets in the cage and when all the criminals are handcuffed he’s going to be left looking at The Bullet.  He’s not going to be looking good because he’s going to be mad, is going to get even and they’ll see him in Freedom Hall.  Campy in places, but tremendous whenever Bob is talking.  Back on Down & Dirty and Dutch is now joined by The Bullet.  Dutch says that the challenge Armstrong made for the K-Town Showdown is unheard of.  If he doesn’t put Jim Cornette in hospital, the same hospital that he put Armstrong in, then he will refund everybody’s money that came to the arena that night and will also retire from wrestling.  Armstrong says that is correct and he’s deadly serious.  He owes him, he’s healed up and feels good.  Cornette’s Mama fed him on lobster and caviar, whereas he and his boys grew up on grits and they didn’t do too bad.  He says that he has been looking back through family trees and family history, well if he looks back in the archives he’ll find that Bullet Bob Armstrong was kicking butts in the Smoky Mountain area years ago, and was kicking butts while he was still sucking on his Mama’s pacifier.  His word is his bond, Sandy Scott has a case full of money, it’s a lumberjack match and there is no way Cornette can get away.  He belongs to him and he’ll put him down now and forever! The Bullet is so good in these segments.  Excellent stuff yet again from him on the mic.
8. Bruise Brothers (w/ Jim Cornette) vs Bobby Blaze & Larry Santo - just before the match gets going the Rock & Roll Express run down and into the ring.  They have a quick word with Blaze and Santo then say that they are going to take a page out of Jim Cornette’s book.  The people want to see a title match and if his team are the champions that they say they are, they will face them today.  Cornette says he doesn’t care what they and these fans want to see.  There isn’t going to be a match, the belts aren’t going to be on the line and there is nothing that they can do about it.  The Bruise Brothers jump the Rock & Rolls and they have a very quick ‘match’.
9. Bruise Brothers (w/ Jim Cornette) vs Rock & Roll Express - the Rock & Rolls get a quick win after hitting one of the twins with a double dropkick.  Despite Cornette saying there will be no match, the referee counted the fall and the ring announcer announced the result.  More an angle to prove that the Rock & Rolls are capable of pinning and defeating the Bruise Brothers.
10. INT:  Jim Cornette & Bruise Brothers - Bob Caudle says that the Rock & Roll Express proved it can be done and they can beat the Bruise Brothers.  Cornette is irate.  There was no match, the bell never rang, he never accepted the challenge, both of them pinned the guy, it wasn’t a legal match!  One of the twins gets on the mic and says that the Rock & Rolls surprised them, but they’re still the champs and all the accomplished in the ring was to piss them off.
11. INT: Tracey Smothers - says it’s a darn shame to see someone you helped get started in this sport turn into a no good, nothing happening, sleaze ball prima donna.  He’s going to get his title back as is coming after Tammy Fytch too, promising to put her over his knee and spank her like her Mamma should have.
12. Brian Lee (w/ Tammy Fytch) vs Tim Horner - Horner attempts a crossbody block off the top but he ducks and hits Mark Curtis instead.  The match continues without a referee and when Horner goes for his natural bridge roll up it brings out Chris Candido.  The two of them start fighting and it allows Fytch the chance to pass Lee the black glove.  Lee puts it on and then slugs Horner knocking him out.  Curtis comes to and just as he is about to count three, Tracey Smothers slides in the ring and stops his hand from hitting the canvas.  Curtis then sees the glove on Lee’s hand and DQ’s him.  Lee swings at Smothers but he evades the shot and nails him with a dropkick.  This gives him the chance to get the glove off Lee and put it on his own hand.  Fytch sneaks into the ring and sprays something into Smothers’ face blinding him and allowing Lee to get the glove back.  Just as he is about to clock Smothers with it Horner comes round and dropkicks Lee out of the ring.
13. INT: Brian Lee & Tammy Fytch, Jim Cornette
14. INT: Brian Lee & Tammy Fytch - Bob Caudle says that again we saw Brian Lee with the black glove and again we saw Tammy Futch spray something right into Tracey Smothers’ eyes.  Fytch says “What did you expect?” Smothers is a woman beater, he tried to hit her and she has to carry protection.  She can’t help it if every man in the world wants her and everyone can’t resist her.  He came after her and tried to hit her, she had to protect herself.  Lee says that Smothers is a woman beater, you saw him grab her.  He’s just like the rest of these coal mining bumpkins, they see a real woman and they act like cavemen.  They grab them by the hair, try to drag them round, they don’t know anything about a date or taking them to a movie, he’s a pervert!  At this point Smothers shows up and enters the ring.  He tells Lee they don’t have to wait and give him a title match right now.  Lee goes to the ring at which point the show goes off the air as they have ran out of time.

Bold matches are PWO recommended
