Aired August 21, 1993

‘Fire on the Mountain ’93 Special’

1. Status Match: Steve Armstrong vs Jimmy Del Ray (w/ Jim Cornette) - Del Ray whips Steve into the ropes, Mark Curtis dives out the way and Cornette cracks Armstrong in the back with his tennis racket.  Del Ray covers him (with his feet on the ropes for added leverage) and gives their team the advantage for Rage in the Cage.
2. INT: Brian Lee & Tammy Fytch
3. INT: Chris Candido - dressing room interview.  Says “Smoky Mountain Wrestling, the way it used to be and the way I like it,” well it’s not the way Chris Candido likes it and sure as hell ain’t the way it used to be.  Buddy Rogers would roll over in his grave if he knew they were sticking the real World champion in a match where you’ve got to drink from a baby bottle.  Tonight he’s going to show everybody that he is not a crybaby, but Tim Horner is.  They wouldn’t stick Ric Flair or Hulk Hogan in a match where you’ve got to drink from a baby bottle and he could beat either one of those guys.  He’s the WWA World champion, he’s from Jersey and is going to show everyone why he is the real World champion and that it will be Tim Horner who will be drinking from that baby bottle.
4. Baby Bottle Match: Chris Candido vs Tim Horner (extended highlights) - Mark Curtis is on the arena floor when Candido launches himself at Horner, who moves, and his momentum takes him flying over the top rope to the floor.  Curtis assumes that Horner threw him over the top rope and DQ’s him.  As they are still arguing over the decision, Candido nails Horner with his WWA belt, ties him to the ropes (but struggles to do so), then forces the baby bottle into his mouth. Lame finish aside, what aired was good.
5. INT: Tim Horner - post-match dressing room interview.  Says Chris Candido may have squirted a little milk on him, but he’s going to put something on him and it ain’t going to be milk!  He’s got a lot more to worry about than that.  Candido is out of here and he is the man to do it.
6. INT: Kevin Sullivan - dressing room interview.  He wonders if the Big Boss Man is the enforcer or the enforcee?  What he’s going to do to him is criminal because he’s criminally insane.
7. INT: Big Boss Man - dressing room interview.  Says he was asked to come to Smoky Mountain Wrestling by Bob Armstrong to add a little law, order and justice to this situation and that starts tonight with Kevin Sullivan.  He says that he’s criminally insane, well he agrees with that.  He’s walking with the devil and he’s going to beat the devil out of him.
8. Kevin Sullivan vs Big Boss Man (jip) - Jim Cornette and the Bruise Brothers come out and Cornette gets up on the ring apron wanting to talk to the Boss Man.  The Boss Man snatches his racket off him and nails Sullivan with it enabling him to get the three count and the win.  That’s three matches in and not one clean finish.
9. Down & Dirty w/ Jim Cornette - Cornette is in the backstage area at Fire on the Mountain outside the Big Boss Man’s dressing room knocking on his door trying to speak to him.  Dutch disturbs him and Cornette almost has a heart attack.  He asks what is going on in the life of Jim Cornette right now in Johnson City at the Rage in the Cage?  Cornette says that he is trying to get hold of the Big Boss Man and just wants five minutes of his time before the Rage in the Cage.  Everyone knows that they go back a long time but they haven’t spoken in years.  He’s called him 35 times this week but he won’t return his phone calls, he’s sent three telegrams but he’s refused them.  Maybe he thought they were bill collectors?  He just wants five minutes of his time though as with the Rage in the Cage and K-Town Showdown, Bob Armstrong is trying to finish him off, right as Jim Cornette, the Heavenly Bodies and the Bruise Brothers are poised on the edge of dominating pro wrestling.  Everyone saw him and the Bodies storm up to the WWF and challenge the Steiner Brothers to defend their World tag team titles against them and they have accepted that challenge. He has also aligned himself with Mr. Fuji and the WWF World Champion, Yokozuna, while the Bruise Brothers are still the Smoky Mountain Wrestling tag team champions.  Jim Cornette stands poised to corner the market and have all the belts that mean anything in the world of wrestling under one umbrella, but Bob Armstrong wants to ruin those plans.  He wants to hurt the Heavenly Bodies tonight so they can’t beat the Steiner Brothers for the WWF tag team titles, and he wants to get his revenge on him so that he can’t appear at Summerslam to manage them on their way to the WWF tag team titles and to prevent him from aligning himself with Yokozuna and guiding the Bruise Brothers.  There is one key though, that key is who wins Rage in the Cage and that is why he’s trying to talk to the Big Boss Man.  Jim Cornette is ready to dominate professional wrestling and Bob Armstrong is the only man who can pull the rug out from under him.  One way or another it is going to be either him or The Bullet, this place isn’t big enough for both of them!
10. INT: Brian Lee & Tammy Fytch - dressing room interview.  Fytch can’t believe this is actually happening and they have to be associated with something that a filthy, dirty, disgusting, greasy coal miner is associated with.  Even though Tracey Smothers loves her and can’t resist her, after this match he won’t be able to molest her anymore, won’t be able to try to attack her anymore and won’t even be able to walk anymore after Brian Lee gets through with him.
11. INT: Tracey Smothers - Tammy Fytch slapped him in the face, sprayed that stuff in his eyes and forced him to lose the SMW Heavyweight title by giving that black glove to his former protégé Brian Lee.  She calls him a bumpkin, a hillbilly and a redneck, well she’s right “I’m all of the above,” but he knows what a coal miner’s glove is and knows how to climb a tree.  He’s going to scale that pole and knock him into the next area code and if he gets the chance, he’s going to bend Tammy Fytch over his knee and whip her like her Mama ought to have.
12. Brian Lee (w/ Tammy Fytch) vs Tracey Smothers (jip)
13. INT: Steve & Scott Armstrong, Bob Armstrong
14. INT: Brian Lee & Tammy Fytch & Tony Anthony - dressing room interview. Fytch says that she knew Brian would win, there was no doubt about it, but Tracey Smothers is a woman beater.  She knows he loves her, but he beat her right there and then and everyone saw it.  Lee says that not only is he the SMW Heavyweight champion but he’s also just collected the $20,000 bounty that Ron Wright put up, because after what they did to Tracey Smothers tonight, he’ll never wrestle in Smoky Mountain ever again.  The Dirty White Boy takes exception to this and says that he is going to collect the bounty as he is the one who did the damage.  When Fytch tries to get involved the White Boy tells her to shut up before Lee tells him that no-one talks to his lady like that!

Bold matches are PWO recommended
