Aired August 27, 1994

1. INT: Jim Cornette & Heavenly Bodies - Cornette thinks it’s garbage that he can have the finest tag team combination in pro wrestling stood here next to him and they can’t get in the ring.  The Rock & Roll Express got one fluke win over the Heavenly Bodies and they’ve been riding that stipulation ever since.  He wants them to drop their complaint and allow the Bodies to face them one more time just so they can show everyone that they can beat the Rock & Roll Express.  If the Rock & Rolls have one gut in their body they will come out and allow them to wrestle one more time, it doesn’t even have to be for the title belts or be sanctioned.  The Express join them and say that if they want a match they can have a match, but with one stipulation.  The Heavenly Bodies always have a manager in their corner and for this match they’re going to have a manager of their own, when out comes Bob Armstrong.  Cornette isn’t happy but says if that’s the way it’s got to be he’ll take it.  Don’t like this at all.  Why are the Bodies back so soon after losing the match to the Rock & Rolls at Bluegrass Brawl?  Why after everything are the Rock & Rolls just rolling over and giving them this match?  It all seems very rushed and incredibly lazy booking to return to this feud, not to mention the stipulations of that Bluegrass Brawl match not being honoured.
2. The Gangstas vs Chris Hamrick & Dan Dubiel
3. INT: The Gangstas - Bob Caudle says how they’ve gone to humiliating their opponents with an ‘x’ after they’ve beaten them in the ring.  New Jack says that for 400 years his ancestors got humiliated.  They were chained in the bowels of a slave ship and bought over here, but then they built this country up and now they want them to leave?  That’s not going to happen and they’re going to stay whether they like it or not.  The Rock & Roll Express have got to stop dodging them and put their name on the dotted line to face them.  They may have beaten the likes of the Midnight Express, Doom and the Road Warriors but that was wrestling, they haven’t been in a Street Fight yet and they want to fight them.  Sooner or later they are going to have to get with New Jack and Mustafa.  Rock & Roll is dead, Rap is in!
4. Recap of Tony Anthony vs Bruiser Bedlam from last week
5. Tony Anthony vs Killer Kyle (w/ Jim Cornette) - the Dirty White Boy gets the win, but is jumped by Bruiser Bedlam after the match.  The Union of FITE start double teaming and beating on him until Tracey Smothers and Bob Armstrong make the save.
6. Personality Profile w/ Chris Candido - Les Thatcher opens by recapping the Brian Lee & Chris Candido vs Rock & Roll Express match from last week and the post-match where Tammy Fytch fired Primetime.  Back in the studio and Candido says everyone thinks it’s real funny that he’s wearing this hood to cover up his bald head.  They beat Ricky Morton fair and square and if he was a real man he would’ve sat in the middle of the ring and shaved his head, instead he attacked him like a coward and tried to mutilate him.  Now Morton wants these matches against him, where if he beats him he’s got to take off this hood and show all these hillbillies his bald head, but if he beats Ricky Morton then he has to shave his head.  He turns his attention to Brian Lee and says that he was a hindrance to him and that he carried that big goof on his back for six months.  What he and Tammy Fytch need in a partner is someone big, strong and stupid, and whilst Brian Lee was all of those things, they’ve now got someone bigger, stronger and even stupider than him.  When he was back in New Jersey there was this kid who was bigger than everyone else, meaner than everyone else and he knew him all the way through Grade school.  Every day he was beating kids up, stealing their lunch money, stealing their milk money and when everyone would start getting on his case, while he could take care of one or two of them, when a whole bunch would jump on him, for the price of half a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, this guy would come and take each and every one of them out.  He kept in touch with him and when he went back home to New Jersey recently, he walked round the alleys of Asbury Park and found his buddy.  He asks Tammy Fytch to bring him out, her new pet, his longtime buddy, a stupid idiot, a goof, a complete moron, but the toughest guy you’ll ever meet, Boo Bradley.  Tammy has a leash round Bradley’s neck and he is crawling on the canvas and barking like he is a dog.  Candido says that Bradley is his new tag team partner, he does whatever Tammy Fytch says, and they’re going to get back the SMW tag team titles.
7. Chris Candido (w/ Tammy Fytch) vs Lance Storm (w/ Chris Jericho) - Boo Bradley comes out to ringside and starts stalking after Chris Jericho.  Candido sets Storm up for the Suicideplex, but with Mark Curtis distracted by what’s going on outside, Brian Lee rushes out and throws Candido from the top turnbuckle to the canvas.  Storm then comes off the top with a big splash to become the new TV champion.
8. Heavenly Bodies (w/ Jim Cornette) vs Rock & Roll Express (w/ Bob Armstrong) - double dropkick to Jimmy Del Ray, but Cornette pulls Mark Curtis out of the ring before he can count the three.  Bob Armstrong is around, slugs Cornette and then throws Curtis back in the ring.  Robert Gibson with a Thesz press on Del Ray, Ricky Morton with a cross body on Tom Prichard and both members of the Heavenly Bodies end up getting pinned.
9. INT: Tony Anthony - says that he’s got a lot of matches already signed for his SMW Heavyweight title, but he’s going to talk to the Board of Directors as the only person he wants is Bruiser Bedlam.  They’ve a score that they need to settle and if Jim Cornette gets involved he’s going to squeeze his neck until his eyes pop out.  He went through hell and back to get this title and there is no way Bruiser Bedlam is going to take it from him.

Bold matches are PWO recommended
