‘Thanksgiving Thunder Preview Special’

1. INT: Jim Cornette - he claims to be doing a little road work and in preparation for his match at Thanksgiving Thunder he’s going to run to Athens, GA.  Later in the show however he will be back, and will have Ron Wright with him ready to be interviewed.
2. Recap of Cactus Jack and Boo Bradley
3. INT: Cactus Jack - says that people have always looked at Cactus Jack like he was a little bit different and he doesn’t know why.  From day one he’s been persecuted, put down, been called bad names and he didn’t like it, so he did the only thing he knew to do and fought back.  He is smart, but Boo Bradley may not have the mental capacity that Cactus Jack has, may not have the ability to reason.  After everything that has gone down, he knows the only way to reach this man is to beat him to a pulp, and with Brian Lee as his partner they’ll make sure Boo Bradley, Chris Candido and Tammy Fytch never forget about Thanksgiving Thunder.
4. Extensive recap about the Rock & Roll Express and The Gangstas
5. INT: Rock & Roll Express
6. Recap of the Bob Armstrong and Jim Cornette confrontation from last week
7. Abdullah the Butcher music video - KISS ‘War Machine’
8. INT: Bob Armstrong - says it’s the final conflict at Thanksgiving Thunder and Jim Cornette has done what no-one else could do, he’s gone and gotten Abdullah the Butcher.  Nobody can handle him and that’s why you don’t see him on TV in either the WWF or WCW, they won’t take the risk because he’s a complete lunatic.  He’s got to put everything into this match because if he loses, he leaves.  If he does win though it will be his last match as he’s going to go back to being the Commissioner.  He’s had the word from the Board of Directors that Jim Cornette and his cronies can no longer mess with him and he can do his Commissioner’s job just like he’s always wanted and be fair with everyone.
9. INT: Jim Cornette - he’s still training, doing a bit of jogging on the spot and shadow boxing but he’s clutching his chest and doubled over in pain.  He’s forced Smoky Mountain Wrestling to force Bob Armstrong out on to TV next week and reveal who the new Commissioner has been.  He believes it’s been Armstrong all along but The Bullet denies it.  Next week he’s got to produce this Commissioner, and when he can’t because he doesn’t anyone to produce, he’ll have to admit to everyone that he’s a liar.
10. Recap of Jim Cornette whipping Ron Wright
11. INT: Tony Anthony & Ron Wright - Wright thought that Jim Cornette has a bit of sense in his head, but the day he beat him senseless with the strap was the day he revealed he was truly stupid.  He’s got him in this tag team match at Thanksgiving Thunder and while he may not be able to wrestle with the ‘real’ wrestlers anymore, he can walk to the ring and beat him any day of the week.  The Dirty White Boy says that Cornette might be able to out run Ron Wright, but he can’t out run him and if he tries to run away he’ll chase him down and hand him back to Ron Wright.
12. INT: Jim Cornette - Jim Ross doesn’t think that Cornette is taking this situation with Ron Wright seriously, but Cornette says he is taking it seriously, as seriously as the heart attack he’s going to have when he gets in the ring.  Ross says how Wright was a legend in East Tennessee, a multi-time Tennessee tag team champion, a multi-time Tennessee singles champion, was voted by the fans as the greatest wrestler in the history of Knoxville, was a great manager for twenty years, but most of all has the reputation as one of the meanest, toughest, low down athletes ever to compete.  Cornette says that’s why he’s looking forward to it.  If Muhammad Ali got in the ring today he could be pulverized by a guy with red hair and freckles because he is over the hill.  He was a great in his day but he’s had his time and this is what Ron Wright is doing at Thanksgiving Thunder.  His heart may still beat inside, barely, but his body can’t back it up anymore.  He may have been the meanest main in Knoxville who beat everybody, but he retired twenty years ago with that reputation.  When Ron Wright and the Dirty White Boy step in the ring with Bruiser Bedlam and himself at Thanksgiving Thunder Jim Cornette is going to have the chance of a lifetime.  He’s never beaten another wrestler, another athlete, anybody, but he’s going to beat Ron Wright, a living legend, because he got back in the ring when he was 97 years old and couldn’t whip cream with an outboard motor.
13. Bryant Anderson (w/ Ole Anderson) vs Tracey Smothers - Bryant gets the upset win and when Tracey offers him his hand Anderson cheap shots him.
14. INT: Jim Cornette - he introduces Ron Wright, but Wright is in fact a toy skeleton.  He says that this might not be Ron Wright, but it’s what the Dirty White Boy is going to look like after Bruiser Bedlam gets finished with him.  Cornette says that he is going to tear Ron Wright apart and stomp him into the ground because he’s not a legend anymore, Jim Cornette is.
