Great recap.  I really liked the ending with Ole telling Fuller that he has to earn a rematch and suspending Rip Morgan.  This idea that good needs to prevail over evil is the perfect SMW feel.

Also, Jimmy Jack Funk vs Scott Armstrong is a perfect big time TV match.  This would have kept all the viewers at the edge of their seats.  

Really enjoing SMW.

[spaldoni]

Great follow up

Well Dunn certainly have their hands full with both the Kongs and Harris Bros coming after them

I love seeing the Funks and Armstrongs going at it. 

Vampire and Kabuki are really getting over. They bring a totally different heel vibe 

Callis and Hollywood are going to get heat here. 

Next week's match between Fuller and Titan will be such a fun clash of styles and eras

- We get the highlights from last week's show where Rick Titan was introduced as the oppontent for Ron Fuller in the Main Event tonight. We get words by both men about this upcoming Main Event. Fuller is focused and had this to say and then Rick Titan had this to say.

Ron Fuller: Ole Anderson thinks he can put obstacles in my path? That he can deny me my rightful rematch with Bullet Bob? Let me tell you somethin’, Ole when I make an example out of this big Canadian rookie tonight, there won’t be anyone left to question who the number one contender is. Rick Titan… saddle up, son. Tonight, you get broken, and the next time I walk into that ring it’ll be to take that SMW title. You can bet on that."

Rick Titan: “Ron Fuller… I know who you are. Everyone in this locker room does. You’ve been runnin’ roughshod over Smoky Mountain since day one bullying people, pulling strings, trying to take shortcuts. But you’re not stepping in the ring with a stepping stone tonight. You’re stepping in with a guy who’s got nothing to lose and everything to prove. I may be new here, but I’m not here to play games I’m here to fight. You want your rematch with Bob Armstrong? You’ll have to earn it—and that road runs straight through me. Let’s see how bad you really want it.”

- Vampire Warrior and The Great Kabuki squashed The Wilson Brothers
Just a forgone conclusion in this one. A complete beatdown and The Vampire Warrior hits one of the brothers with The Impaler DDT and the other brother is met with a Mist from Kabuki! These two are posing but that is when from the back come The Moondogs! Kabuki wants to fight but Vampire Warrior grabs Kabuki and drags him out the ring as The Moondogs are looking to fight!

- Promo with Scott Armstrong and Steve Simpson
These two cut a firey promo on The Funks! They want a match against Dory and Jimmy Jack next week on SMW Television but here comes Ole Anderson who says a match of that magnitude needs to be on a big stage and wants the match to happen at the next big event on July 14th at the event called Fire on the Mountain and it will be Dory and Jimmy Jack against Steve Simpson and Scott Armstrong!

- The Colossal Kongs (w/ Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie) won in a squash.
Another big win for The Kongs who demolish these jobbers. After the match though is when the fireworks happen. Al-Kassie is cutting a promo on Well-Dunn when Paul Ellering comes up and says that The Kongs need to take a step back bacause The Harris Brothers want their rematch. The six men all stare down each other as Well-Dunn comes out and says that they are willing to put the belts up against BOTH TEAMS! 

- Chris Champion cuts a promo on Doug Gilbert
Champion is demanding that due to cheating he wants a rematch for the TV Title. This brings out the champion who basically laughs in the face of Champion.  Doug Gilbert says if Champion wants a match he needs to prove he can even last. Next week Chris Champion will be in action when he faces this man! Thats when from behind MAXX PAYNE jumps Champion from behind and almost has Champion take out the podium! Payne is beating the hell out of Champion as Gilbert snatches the microphone away from Solie! Payne locks on the Payne-Killer! (ARMBAR) as Gilbert is screaming at Champion. Here comes security to break this up!

- Ole Anderson cuts a promo
Ole comes out and officially announces "Fire on the Mountain" on July 14th. Ole promises the card will be a MAJOR one for SMW. He says that he is going to make a match for the event called a Prove Yourself Tag Team Match. This will feature four rookies! A 2 on 2 Tag Team Match and the winner of that match will get a shot to prove themselves in SMW. He announces the winner of Callis and Rick Titan tonight will get a SMW Title Match against Bob Armstrong. Ole announces that Well-Dunn will have a Triangle Match for the Tag Titles! The Harris Twins and The Kongs will fight and whoever wins will instantly face Well-Dunn for the titles.

- Bill Kazmier defeats Action Jackson via Bear-Hug
Bill looks dominant with his victory. The Strongman looks like he wants to make an impression in SMW. Bill walks over to cut a promo but is instantly stopped by Downtown Bruno! Bill tells Bruno to take a hike and that someone that small shouldn't be talking so big. That is when Bruno tells Bill that he needs to be careful who he calls small because Bruno wanted to offer his services but since Bill thinks he is some strongman with an ego problem. Next week he is going to introduce someone to beat some brains into him. Bill laughs and shoves Bruno down to the ground!

- Blue Demon Jr and Biff Wellington go 15 minute Draw
In a match that was Match the night with some reporters saying was the best match SMW has put on television. Demon Jr and Biff put on an awesome match that left the fans wanting more. The finish came after Biff nailed a Tombstone Piledriver but he was too exhausted to make the cover and the referee had to call for the bell. The two shook hands after the match with Solie saying that these will be seen again after that beautiful performance.
 
- Bob Armstrong Promo
Bob Armstrong comes out and compliments all the matches he has seen tonight. He says that the upcoming Main Event is a big one and he will be right here making sure everything is done by the book. This actually brings out Don Callis and Hollywood. Don is quick with the wit to take shots at Bullet Bob and says that he doesn't understand why that big dummy Titan is in this match and not himself. Bob says Callis talks a whole lot but has yet to do anything to impress him. Callis tells Bob if that's the case how about a title match! Bob looks at Callis and says that he is a fighting champion but Ole made the ruling that the SMW Title can't be defended till after Fire on the Mountain but if Callis wants to see if he belongs. Next Week it's a non-title match if he wants it. Callis is upset that he can't get a title match but ACCEPTS the offer! Bob Armstrong is showing he is a fighting champion and will be in action next week.

- Main Event
Rick Titan vs Ron Fuller
The match begins slow and methodical, with Fuller trying to keep the powerful Titan grounded with armlocks and stalling tactics. Titan powers out and fires back with shoulder blocks and a stiff clothesline that sends Fuller rolling to the floor to regroup. Fuller tries baiting Titan in and when Titan follows to the outside, Fuller rakes the eyes and sends him crashing into the steel barricade. The veteran works over Titan’s back with precision: knees, stomps, and a tight rear chinlock once they’re back in the ring Titan mounts a comeback with a big boot, powerslam, and a flying shoulder tackle that earns a two-count. The crowd is rallying behind him now. Fuller looks rocked. They trade strikes. Titan gets the better of it and hoists Fuller up for the Titan Slam (Running Powerslam), but the ref is momentarily distracted by Rip Morgan rushing toward ringside!

Titan drops Fuller, storms to the ropes yelling at Morgan, and the referee rushes to get Morgan off the apron.

Low blow!

Fuller seizes the moment with a swift low blow behind the ref’s back. The crowd erupts in boos as Titan crumbles. Fuller rolls him up, grabs the tights for good measure

1... 2... 3!

Your Winner: Ron Fuller

Fuller rolls out of the ring celebrating like he just won the Super Bowl — but Titan’s eyes are wide, wild, and furious.

Gordon Solie: “Titan has snapped! And who could blame him!”

Titan storms after Fuller, drags him back in, and lifts him high into the air for a thunderous Powerbomb! The crowd explodes as Fuller is flattened.

Rip Morgan slides in, trying to check on Fuller — but Titan grabs him too and Powerbombs him into the mat with vicious force!

Security and referees flood the ring Titan’s roaring, pacing, fists clenched. He shoves one official down before more pile on to restrain him.

Gordon Solie: “Rick Titan is out of control! But he’s got a reason to be! He was robbed tonight, and he made Ron Fuller feel it!”

The show closes with Ron Fuller and Rip Morgan laid out cold, and Rick Titan being dragged back by a wave of officials, shouting furiously.


 

[Autistic Dragon]

You did so much on this show to set up Fire on the Mountain. the Prove Yourself tag match to give rookies a chance to shine, Armstrong/Simpson v the Funks and a Triangle match for the tag titles.

VW & Kabuki meet their first serious threat in the Moondogs.

Gilbert finds someone to bring the Payne to Champion.

Big Bill laughs off Bruno.

Blue Demon Jr and Wellington bring the house down.

Calis talks his way into a match with the Bullet.

Fuller steals a win but feels the wrath of Titan.

[kevinmcfl]

Really looking forward to Fire on the Mountain.  I think you did an awesome job building up Rick Titan.  Even though he lost, he was ribbed and then went wild.  He has been very solid for you.  

While Fuller/Armstrong are your main eventers, I think people like JJ Funk and Dory give you give you pretty big name value and a great heel team that would look great with a long title run.  Also Rip Morgan is the perfect bodyguard for Fuller and someone that Armstrong is going to have to pay attention to.  

Kabuki and Vampire Warrior also give you a team that the fans can hate as well as a team that can put some some fear into their opponents.

You have done great since joining us... hope for a long SMW run

 

[KingBoggs33]

Thanks for the feedback guys. I’m enjoying using the whole free agency a lot more than I thought I would.  
 

I will honestly probably keep the style I’m doing now just cause I got this show out in less than 2 hours and it’s making it easier to pump shows out and get across what I want.

Thanks for having me guys and hopefully SMW will be here for a while. 

[spaldoni]

Fuller and Titan's promos get us pumped up for the show

Damn! Kabuki and Vampire against the Moondogs? Oler better bring in extra security for that one

Ole's a smart booker. He not only makes the Simpson, Armstrong/Funks match a big deal but makes Fire on the Mountain a must see event. The man just sold a ton of tickets with simple words. 

I have to say, Well Dunn has some guts. Cant wait to watch the Kongs and Harris bros fight it out for a title shot.

Gilbert sends in Payne to do the dirty work. It's great seeing Maxx back in the game. Not sure Champion feels the same. 

LOL, fun segment with Kaz and Bruno. I think Kaz might regret that push. I can only imagine who Bruno's bringing in. 

Demon and Wellington give the fans an instant classic. It's a reminder that even with all the craziness, the fans can still appreciate a solid and hard working wrestling match. 

Bullet denies Callis a shot but welcomes a fight. A win by Callis just might give him that title shot. I think Bob better watch his back. 

WOW! Fuller might've gotten the win but Titan gets over in a big way tonight! Fantastic ending

It's so much fun reading your shows. I like that you have the freedom of the free agency list. We never know who's going to show up. This really is a true territory. I sure hope SMW sticks around for a long time. 

 

 

[LowBlowPodcast]

Ron Fuller and Rick Titan’s promos were straight fire, totally hyping up that main event showdown!

Vampire Warrior and Kabuki crushed it in their squash match, and that Moondogs chaos at the end was wild!

Scott Armstrong and Steve Simpson’s promo was super intense, and Ole dropping that "Fire on the Mountain" match news got me pumped!

Blue Demon Jr. and Biff Wellington’s match was legit awesome, best on TV, and that handshake at the end? So cool.

The main event was a total banger, and Titan going full beast mode with those powerbombs after getting robbed was insane!

[KingBoggs33]

I’ll get caught up on my feedback tomorrow.

Ron Fuller:
"Bob Armstrong thinks he’s got momentum? That wildman Rick Titan thinks he’s earned something? No, sir. I said I had a plan and now it’s done. The deal is sealed. Fire on the Mountain is where I take Bob’s title, and send his family packing with him. Bullet Bob… pray while you still can."

[Autistic Dragon]

Fire on the Mountain is shaping up to be one of the hottest show of the summer.

[kevinmcfl]

Great job getting all caught up so quickly.  I think you have done an awesome job of creating a really balanced card.  So many great midcard feuds have been set up and Fire on the Mountain will answer a lot of questionns as to who are the top guys in SMW!  And then for me, it doesn;t get any bigger in Tennessee or Alabama then a Fuller and an Armstrong.  Really looking forward to the BIG SHOW!!

[spaldoni]

I appreciate all your hard work catching up. 

The road to Fire on the Mountain has been full of non stop excitement. There's literally never a dull moment and every match has meaning. 

Bullet and Fuller are leading the way but everybody else is getting time to shine. 

It's amazing what you're doing with the roster pickups. A lot of wrestlers are getting great buzz and making names for themselves in our world. 

No doubt about it, Fire on the Mountain will sell out. 

[LowBlowPodcast]

The show’s got that gritty, old-school wrestling energy, and the Knoxville setting adds flavor. Could lean into the local vibe more—like a quick mention of the crowd’s rowdiness or the studio’s atmosphere to ground it. tan and Champion come off as stars, especially with their promos. Kazmier’s bear hug dominance is cool. Fuller’s intensity and Armstrong’s “East Tennessee” vibe really pop, giving each guy a distinct voice.
