1. Bruise Brothers vs Jason West & Robbie Eagle - Kevin Sullivan joins them on commentary for this match and the twins are DQ’d for throwing West over the top rope to the floor.) 
2. INT: Kevin Sullivan & Bruise Brothers - Sullivan says that the Bruise Brothers are good men and they’re nice men.  He tells Jim Cornette that he doesn’t like to ease into anything or step on anyone’s toes, but if these guys need guidance, and all these guys do need is a little guidance, he’s here for them.  They’re untamed animals and have never gotten a fair shake in the justice system.  When they face the Rock & Roll Express in Morristown on 9/11 and they shave their heads with a razor, they may just slip and cut their throat.  The twins say that the Armstrong’s have got their daddy to lead them round and make sure they’re okay, now they have got somebody to make sure they go where they need to go, do what they need to do and take care of everything they need to take care of.
3. INT: Ron Wright & Tony Anthony - Ron is almost a cured man after they put Tracey Smothers out of action and got rid of him forever.  Bob Caudle has a statement though and it’s from Tracey Smothers’ doctor who says that his knee ligament is not completely torn as first thought, it’s only partially torn.  He recommends that he stays out of action for six weeks and then he can return.  Wright and the Dirty White Boy are not happy at all with this piece of news.  Caudle then plays a taped interview from Smothers.  He says that Brian Lee and the Dirty White Boy thought they’d got the job done and collected the bounty, but they didn’t and he’s coming back.  It’s only a partial tear.  The doctors said he would be out for six weeks, but he’ll be back in three.  He has a title match set for 9/12 in Knoxville against Brian Lee, and to make sure the Dirty White Boy doesn’t interfere he’s asked the commission to have him locked in a cage at ringside.  Back in the studio and Wright is even angrier than before.  Brian Lee was supposed to put Smothers out of commission and he demands that they come out and give him his money back!  Anthony says he told him not to give them the money and that he should’ve given it to him, but he wouldn’t listen and now they’re out $20,000.  Ron Wright wants his money back!  Funny stuff.
4. INT: Brian Lee & Tammy Fytch, Heavenly Bodies
5. INT: Dennis Coraluzzo - video interview.  He’s totally ashamed of the way that Smoky Mountain Wrestling is treating their great champion Chris Candido.  The WWA is the premiere wrestling organization in the world, but in the time Candido has been in SMW, he’s been called a crybaby and Smoky Mountain refuses to recognize his prestigious, diamond studded, gold plated championship belt.  They have tried to make him drink from a baby bottle and wear a diaper, but now the worst thing imaginable, Smoky Mountain Wrestling is forcing him to get into a ‘Country Whipping’ match with Tim Horner.  It’s very barbaric and uncivilized to put a man in that position and they should be like them in New Jersey, where they settle their problems in a businesslike and civilized manner.  If Tim Horner and Smoky Mountain Wrestling don’t stop harassing the great Chris Candido he will be forced to take some sort of action.  Coraluzzo has stopped his interview but the video continues to record.  He tells the guy who is filming it to edit it, send it off and tell that (bleep) guy if he doesn’t stop bothering Chris Candido he’ll end up in a pair of cement overshoes!
6. Tim Horner vs Mike Sampson - Chris Candido joins them on commentary.  He jumps Horner after the match and starts whipping him with the belt.  Horner eventually gets the belt off him and starts whipping him back before chasing him to the dressing room.
7. Down & Dirty w/ Bob Armstrong - Dutch opens today’s show by playing some comments from Jim Cornette.  Cornette is still laid up in his bead and being tended to by the Heavenly Bodies.  He is trying to get hold of his mother on the phone as she is still at the diamond mine in South Africa but is having no luck.  He’s feeling a little better than last week, but the only thing he has done in that time was drugged himself up and go to Summerslam to see the Bodies get ripped off at the hands of the Steiner Brothers.  There are plans in the works though to try and bring the Steiners back to Smoky Mountain Wrestling and have them defend their WWF tag team titles here.  Bob Armstrong claims to be Mr. Honesty, Mr. Integrity and Mr. Fair Play around here?  Well he recalls when SMW started up over a year and a half ago and there was a hold he banned, a hold he said was so devastating and crippling it could never be used in a professional ring legally, and that was the piledriver.  He crusaded, campaigned, fined people and did everything he could to stop the use of the piledriver, so what happens when he gets in the ring with Jim Cornette?  Not one, but two piledrivers.  We see that he doesn’t practice what he preaches, but Jim Cornette and the Heavenly Bodies do practice what they preach and the preach death, destruction and dishonor to the Armstrong family.  That’s what’s going to happen in these two matches that are coming up, and if Bob Armstrong ever wants to be employed and earn a living for his family again, he’ll have to face his challenge.  On 9/17 at Freedom Hall in Johnson City, he has to take on his ‘secret weapon’, where either Bob Armstrong or Jim Cornette will be gone from Smoky Mountain Wrestling forever following the outcome of that match.  While he won’t know the identity of this secret weapon until he gets to Johnson City that night, the one thing he does know is that he might not make it to 9/17 as on 9/12 in Knoxville, TN he’s got to take on the wildman, the mad Texan from Amarillo, Terry Funk.  If he wants to talk about piledrivers, cast his mind back to a big WCW PPV three or four years ago where Terry Funk piledrove Ric Flair on a table at ringside and put him out of action for four months.  So Bob Armstrong isn’t the only one who can use piledrivers, so can Terry Funk, and if he beats Bob Armstrong on 9/17, Jim Cornette will be the Commissioner of Smoky Mountain Wrestling.  After these two matches are over one of us is going to be running the show, while the other one will have to go.  Back on Down & Dirty and Dutch is joined by Bob Armstrong and he tells him that he’s going to journey into the most dangerous five days of his life and wrestling career.  Armstrong says that Jim Cornette is trying to take away his right to make a living and when someone messes with his rights, he’ll fight long and hard.  In fact he will fight for anyone’s rights, and when he was a Marine he fought for all of America’s rights.  Smoky Mountain Wrestling is his home, he’s been here since it started as Commissioner, he didn’t ask or want to be a wrestler.  Jim Cornette messed him up and hurt him bad and the only way he could get him back was by becoming a wrestler.  Now he’s spending all his mama’s money on hiring a ‘secret weapon’ for Johnson City and to bring in Terry Funk for Knoxville.  If he loses this he doesn’t have any way to make a living, and when your back is against the wall you’ll fight with all you’ve got.  He’s got a right to be in Smoky Mountain Wrestling, a right to make a living and he tells Terry Funk that he’s going to fight until there is no breath left in his body.  Great babyface interview from The Bullet.
8. Brian Lee (w/ Tammy Fytch) vs Bobby Blaze
9. INT: Brian Lee & Tammy Fytch - Bob Caudle tells them that Tracey Smothers says he is going to be back in three weeks.  Fytch says that they crippled him and can’t believe that he is coming back.  The reason he is coming back is because he loves her so much and can’t stay away from her.  He can’t resist her and is coming back to try and molest her again.  Lee says he makes all these excuses about wanting the belt, about wanting Brian Lee, but he is nothing but a pervert.  He put Tracey Smothers out of action for $25,000, it’s his money and the Dirty White Boy is not getting a dime of it back.  The White Boy comes out (followed by Ron Wright) and confronts them saying that Ron wants his money back.  Lee claims that the money is spent, but Tammy interrupts and says it isn’t spent, Brian got it wrong, it’s in the bank and you don’t have to worry about it.  She says that Tracey Smothers won’t be coming back, but if he does, don’t worry about it, they’ll take care of him again.  Wright isn’t happy but she wheels him off saying they need to go talk somewhere.
10. Ricky Morton vs Jimmy Del Ray - Tom Prichard comes down to ringside early and is soon followed by Robert Gibson.  Prichard gets up on the apron ready to clock Morton with a chain.  Ricky beats him to the punch but he still manages to throw the chain to Del Ray.  Gibson goes after Prichard and Mark Curtis is distracted by them fighting at ringside.  This gives Del Ray the opportunity to clobber Morton with the chain and become the new TV champion.  Good match.
11. INT: Tim Horner, Steve & Scott Armstrong
12. INT: Heavenly Bodies - Tom Prichard says that they don’t care if it’s WCW or the WWF, they will go anywhere.  They’re going to get all the titles, all the money and all the women!  They went to the Steiners hometown to take them on, but are now challenging them to come down to Smoky Mountain Wrestling if they’ve got the guts and to face them here.  They have just proven that the Rock & Roll Express are washed up and proven that they can beat them any day of the week.  They are then jumped by the Rock & Rolls and quickly make their disappearance.
13. INT: Rock & Roll Express - they say if Jim Cornette and the Heavenly Bodies do win the WWF tag team titles, the only thing that they are going to do is lose them to the Rock & Roll Express.  They’ve already ran one Heavenly Body out of here and it will give them no greater pleasure than to get rid of Tom Prichard and Jimmy Del Ray too.

Bold matches are PWO recommended
