UWL 'SLAM!' WRESTLING - EP. 121 - SIOUX FALLS, SD - SIOUX FALLS ARENA - 5-14-13 (Live)

(Show Intro)

(Crowd Shots/Pyro)

(Announcers Steve Stack and Joe Pedicino welcomed viewers and then ran down the program: President Watts confronts Greg Valentine about Valentine breaking Steve Williams' ankle two weeks ago; the in-ring debut of Adrian Adonis of The Firm; UWL Women's World Champion Madusa vs. Luna; Lord Humongous & Missing Link see action; TV Title Match: Hugh Morrus (TVC) vs. 'Bad Boy' Brunzell; the first 'Thunderstruck' PPV update; and more.)

(Video aired from two weeks ago of Rick Rude of The Firm laying out UWL World Champion Roddy Piper with the Rude Awakening after Piper had defeated David Schultz of The Firm in a World Title match. Footage then aired from last week of the confrontation between Piper and Rude and Rude and Piper challenging each other to a match this week and Rude requesting Piper put the title on the line. Piper agreed. Interim President Wally Karbo then came out and said that Pres. Watts has said he will allow the match; but would have to discuss whether or not it should be for the World Title with the UWL Championship Committee and that a decision would be rendered to start tonight's 'Slam!'.)

(In-ring: An easel was standing in the ring with a large board on it that was covered by a black cloth.

'Born In The USA' played over the p.a. system. Watts came out to a mild ovation. He was in a suit and had a mic. Watts slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring.

BW: "I have a few announcements to make to start the show tonight. And since I know you fans want to see great UWL action, I'll be as brief as possible.

"First, later tonight when he arrives, I am going to confront Greg Valentine about breaking my good friend 'Dr. Death' Steve Williams' ankle two weeks ago. I brought 'Doc' in because I believed that he was the man who could really teach the arrogant Valentine a lesson in his first match back after being suspended for 60-days. I just want to let you all know that Doc's recovery is going very well right now. And he told me to tell all of you that when he heals, the first thing he wants is a match with Greg Valentine. And I can tell you right now that match is gonna happen when 'Doc' returns!"

Crowd cheered.

BW: "We just saw video of the conflict between World Champion Roddy Piper and Rick Rude of The Firm. I have been in intense discussions with the UWL Championship Committee over the last week regarding whether or not the match between the two should be for the title tonight. After having some heated talks about the matter; after weighing all the pros and cons, the UWL Championship Committee and I have decided that tonight's match between Piper and Rude will be for the UWL World Title!"

More crowd cheers.

BW: "Finally, as you can see, there's a covered board on this easel. Next week, we are having a special 2-1/2 hour edition of 'Slam!' that will begin at 8:30 pm. Mark that down. Next week's 'Slam!' will be starting an hour earlier at 8:30pm. On that show we're gonna have a tournament. It will be an 8-man tournament and the winner will get a UWL World Title shot at 'Thunderstruck'! I'm gonna remove the cover here so you can see the names of the men already in the tournament."

Watts pulled the cover off the board. Six names were listed.

BW: "The six men already in next week's tournament are: David Schultz; TV Champion Hugh Morrus; Wahoo McDaniel; President's Champion Rick Steiner; Dusty Rhodes; and Arn Anderson.

"Tonight, we're gonna have two wrestle-in matches to decide who the final two entrants will be in the tournament. Those two matches are: Ken Patera vs. Harley Race and Lex Luger vs. 'Superstar' Graham. Whoever wins the World Title match this evening between Roddy Piper and Rick Rude will be the man to defend the title at 'Thunderstruck'. Let's get ready to hook 'em up!"

Crowd cheered mildly.)

(Announcers discussed Watts coming out and making Piper vs. Rude a World Title match and announcing that they would have an 8-man tournament next week with the winner getting the UWL World Title shot at 'Thunderstruck' and Watts discussing his upcoming confrontation with Greg Valentine later tonight. Hyped still to come: UWL World Title Match: Roddy Piper (WC) vs. Rick Rude (The Firm); Wrestle-In Match #1: Ken Patera vs. Harley Race; Wrestle-In Match #2: 'Superstar' Graham vs. Lex Luger; President Watts confronts Greg Valentine about Valentine breaking Steve Williams' ankle two weeks ago; the in-ring debut of Adrian Adonis of The Firm; UWL Women's World Champion Madusa vs. Luna; TV Title Match: Hugh Morrus (TVC) vs. 'Bad Boy' Brunzell; the first 'Thunderstruck' PPV update; and more. Said Lord Humongous and Missing Link see action next!)

Match 1

Lord Humongous & Missing Link vs. JT Southern & Charlie Cook

(Music-only version of 'Breaking The Law' played oer the p.a. system. Crowd popped as Humongous, Link and mgr. Dark Journey came out on the entrance stage. When the trio got to the ring, Link slammed his head against the ring post and Humongous pounded his chest. When the two got on the apron, Humongous stepped over the top rope into the ring and pointed at Southern and Cook as Link stomped around the ring.

During the match, announcers discussed the recent problems between Link and Humongous and the World Tag Team Champs Hall and Nash.

Total domination by Lord and Link from start to finish. End mercifully came when Lord pinned Cook with a diving splash across Cook's back.

WINNER: Lord & Link - Pinfall - Lord pinned Cook with the Gorilla Press Drop and Diving Splash across the back - 2:36)

(After the match: As Lord, Link and Journey were in the ring and 'Breaking The Law' was playing, Hall and Nash, in street clothes and with the titles slung over their shoulders, came out on the entrance stage to a mixed crowd reaction. Both had mics.

Nash: "Kill the music! (Music stopped.) Very well done, boys! Way to go! Way to beat up a couple of jobbers! I'll tell you guys one thing, that's if you can understand what I'm even saying, you wouldn't beat up Hall and Nash like that! Never in a million years, man! When the day comes and we meet in that ring, you two are gonna get smashed by men who are fully evolved! And Dark Journey, after we send Lord and Link back to the real Stone Age, darlin', you would look real fine standing with The Firm!"

Hall: "Hey yo! Notice the look in Lord Humongous' and Missing Link's eyes, man! They clearly have no idea what's going on! The look in their eyes says: 'Vacancy'. But, like the big man just said, you wanna fight with us, just let us know! We'll be more than happy to oblige and beat the pre-historic times out of you! I'm surpised that Link there doesn't come to the ring on a dinosaur or something! Hey! Either of you guys know what a wheel is?!"

Journey had taken the r.a. mic from Lee Marshall.

DJ: "Hall and Nash, I certainly don't expect you guys to stop trashing my men. Only men with class would do that. And as we know, you two have no class. As for joining The Firm, no thanks. I'm not some skanky ring rat. Lord Humongous and Missing Link are more than ready to collide with you two in a match. Just put the contracts in front of us and we'll sign them."

Nash: "Those two...sign contracts?! Ha! Don't make us laugh, Dark Journey! You can't sign a legal, binding contract with gravel and sticks! But who knows?! Maybe Scott or I will hit one of them so hard that they'll actually be able to start writing their own name!"

DJ: "The contracts will be signed and it will be completely legal. And when they are signed, it might just be you two who are on the wrong end of a thrashing.")

(Announcers discussed the post-match appearance by Hall and Nash and their confrontation with Lord, Link and Journey. Hyped still to come: UWL World Title Match: Roddy Piper (WC) vs. Rick Rude (The Firm); Wrestle-In Match #1: Ken Patera vs. Harley Race; Wrestle-In Match #2: 'Superstar' Graham vs. Lex Luger; President Watts confronts Greg Valentine about Valentine breaking Steve Williams' ankle two weeks ago; the in-ring debut of Adrian Adonis of The Firm; UWL Women's World Champion Madusa vs. Luna; the first 'Thunderstruck' PPV update; and more.

Match 2 (TV Title Match)

Hugh Morrus © vs. 'Bad Boy' Brunzell

('Bad Boys' by the Miami Sound Machine played over the p.a. system and out came Brunzell to a decent amount of boos. Brunzell was in his derby hat, black t-shirt with 'Bad Boy' written across the front, black tights with 'Bad Boy' written across the back and black and white boots with 'BBB' on the outside of each boot.

Brunzell got in the ring and took the mic from r.a. Lee Marshall.

Chants of 'Jim!' started.

BBB: "You know what? I've come to a conclusion. The only way I'm gonna get you weenie fans to stop chanting my birth name 'Jim' is to win a championship. After this match, you people are gonna be forced to respect me because I'm gonna become the new UWL TV Champion! Then, you'll have no choice but to call me by my new name as it appears on my driver's license, 'Bad Boy' Brunzell!"

Crowd booed.

Hugh came to the ring to a decent ovation. He was wearing the title around his waist. He slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring.

Usual title pre-match ritual. Ref took the title and held it up for all to see and handed it off to Lee Marshall. Ref then called both men out to the middle of the ring and laid down the ground rules and patted each man down.

Ref sent each man to their respective corners. Brunzell feigned going to his corner and turned around and attacked Hugh from behind. Ref called for the bell.

Brunzell pounded away on Hugh and then whipped Hugh into the ropes and looked to catch Hugh coming off with a clothesline but Hugh ducked the move and came back and nailed Brunzell with his flying headbutt to the chest. Brunzell crashed to the mat. Hugh for the cover. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell. Fans popped for the quick win by Hugh.

Ref went over and had words for Marhsall and took the belt. Ref went over and handed Hugh the title and raised Hugh's hand in victory.

Marshall: "Ladies and Gentlemen! In a time of 14 seconds, your winner...and STILL UWL TV Champion...Hugh Morrus!"

WINNER: Morrus - Pinfall - Flying Headbutt to the Chest - :14)

(After the match: Rip Oliver came out on the entrance stage with mic in hand. He was in street clothes. He was booed as he made his way to the ring.

RO: "Hold it right there, Hugh. I've got something I want to say to you."

Oliver got in the ring as Hugh looked on.

RO: "Hugh, me and you have been in the UWL since day one. We were the tag team champions for eight months. When we were a team I carried the entire load. I made you a champion. After I got sick of you and we parted company, I went on to greater things as a singles wrestler. I became the TV Champion. You were nothing without me. At 'Spring Mayhem', you beat me and won the TV Title. If we wrestled each other 100 more times, I know you wouldn't beat me again."

Hugh now had the r.a. mic.

HM: "Are you saying my win over you was a fluke, Rip?"

RO: "I'm saying that's the only time you'll ever beat me. Being the former champion, I'm entitled to a re-match. I want that re-match for the TV Title and I want it at 'Thunderstruck'."

HM: "Consider it done. You are entitled to a re-match being the former champion. And let me tell you this..."

RO: "I wasn't finished. Hugh, I'm sick and tired of seeing you here in the UWL."

HM: "The feeling is mutual, believe me."

RO: "That's just what I wanted to hear from you. You see, I don't want you here anymore and you don't want me here anymore. So why don't we up the ante' at 'Thunderstruck'. Not only will the TV Title be on the line, but the loser of the match leaves the UWL."

HM: "Rip! I can't stand the sight of you! It would be an honor for me to beat you and send you pakcing from the UWL! This promotion is no longer big enough for the both of us!"

Pres. Watts walked out on the entrance stage with mic in hand. Tepid crowd response.

BW: "Hugh and Rip, I've been listening to what you guys have said! Since Rip Oliver is owed a re-match for the TV Title, I'm going to go ahead and make it the first official match for 'Thunderstruck'. But, I have to ask both of you this. Are you men sure you want to put your UWL careers on the line in this match? I know there's a lot of bad blood between you two. But this is a huge stipulation to add. The loser of the match will not be coming back to the UWL. They will be gone."

RO: "A UWL without Hugh Morrus will be a UWL drenched in eternal sunshine. President Watts, I'm all for the loser of our match having to leave the company."

HM: "I'm on board with it! Let's do this! To come to 'Slam!' on June 11th and know that Rip Oliver is no longer part of the company...that will be getting rid of a major cancer!"

BW: "Alright. One of you men will no longer be employed by the UWL after your match at 'Thunderstruck'. Let me be very clear about that. Get ready to hook 'em up!"

Oliver and Hugh then started having words with each other off mic as the segment ended.)

(Announcers dicussed Watts making the UWL TV Title Loser Leaves The UWL match between Hugh © and Rip at 'Thunderstruck'. Hyped still to come: UWL World Title Match: Roddy Piper (WC) vs. Rick Rude (The Firm); Wrestle-In Match #1: Ken Patera vs. Harley Race; Wrestle-In Match #2: 'Superstar' Graham vs. Lex Luger; President Watts confronts Greg Valentine about Valentine breaking Steve Williams' ankle two weeks ago; the in-ring debut of Adrian Adonis of The Firm; the first 'Thunderstruck' PPV update; and more. Said Madusa © vs. Luna is coming up!)

(Update on Tina Ferrari.

Stack: "It's now been two weeks since Tina Ferrari announced she quit after losing to Madusa in their UWL Women's World Title re-match. And still, there's nothing to report. No one in the UWL has been able to contact her. No one knows where she's gone. It's like she vanished from the face of the earth."

Pedicino: "Steve, this whole situation is baffling. I mean, when she said she quit two weeks ago, was it in frustration or did she really mean it? Judging by the way things have gone the last two weeks, it looks like she has indeed quit the promotion. We'll keep you fans updated on this situation as best we can. Any new developments, we'll pass them along here on 'Slam!' You can also stay abreast of this situation by visiting uwlslam.com. Right now, there's nothing new to report.")

Match 3 (Non-Title)

Madusa © vs. Luna

(Luna was already in the ring.

'American Woman' played over the p.a. system and out came Madusa to a strong ovation. She was wearing the title around her waist. Madusa slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring.

Match had been going on between Madusa and Luna for a couple of minutes when a big black woman in ring attire and a black man in a suit and fedora came walking to the ring.

Pedicino: "What is this?! It's Awesome Kong! I have no idea who that man is with her!"

Stack: "What are they doing here?!"

Luna had just hit Madusa with a trio of snap suplexes. Madusa was down as Kong climbed into the ring while the man with her stood on the floor. Kong charged up behind Luna and nailed her with a clothesline to the back of the neck. Luna crashed to the mat. Ref called for the bell. Kong picked up Luna and blasted her with the implant buster (aka, lifting double underhook facebuster). Luna laid out. Madusa had just recovered from the series of snap suplexes Luna had delivered. As soon as Mudusa got to her feet in the corner, Kong charged in and pulverized Madusa with a brutal clothesline. Madusa limp in the corner. Kong dragged Madusa out of the corner and laid Madusa out with am implant buster as well. Kong looked down at the two women as the black man on the floor was cheering her on. UWL security came charging to the ring to restore the peace. Kong glared at the male security members and looked like she was ready to take them on when the man on the floor yelled for Kong to leave the ring. After a few more seconds of Kong looking at security and the carnage she caused, she turned and left the ring and headed back up the aisle with the mystery man as most of the fans booed and some garbage was hurled in her direction. Security checked on Luna and Madusa in the ring.

DECISION: No Contest - Awesome Kong interfered and beat Madusa and Luna up - 1:48)

(Announcers discussed the shocking appearance of Awesome Kong and a mystery man with her and Kong laying out both Madusa and Luna. They wondered where this was all headed. Hyped still to come: UWL World Title Match: Roddy Piper (WC) vs. Rick Rude (The Firm); Wrestle-In Match #1: Ken Patera vs. Harley Race; Wrestle-In Match #2: 'Superstar' Graham vs. Lex Luger; President Watts confronts Greg Valentine about Valentine breaking Steve Williams' ankle two weeks ago; the first 'Thunderstruck' PPV update; and more. Said the in-ring debut of Adrian Adonis of The Firm was coming up!)

(Video aired for next week's 2-1/2 hour special edition of 'Slam!' - Next Tuesday - FX - Special Start Time: 8:30pm E/P!)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson interviewed JJ Dillon Enterprises.

Wahoo was in street clothes, Harley in his ring gear and JJ was in a suit.

LN: "JJ, we know that Wahoo McDaniel is already in next week's tournament to decide who will face the UWL World Champion, either Roddy Piper or Rick Rude, at 'Thunderstruck'. And Harley Race also has a chance to be in the tournament if he wins his wrestle-in match this week against Ken Patera. You have really got to be looking forward to the opportunity that is in front of you."

JJ: "I am extremely excited about this opportunity! Words can't even describe it! And I'll make it clear right now! I hate Roddy Piper! But I'm his biggest fan tonight as he defends the title against The Firm's Rick Rude! I want Roddy Piper to retain the gold because he's the man that Wahoo and I want to face at 'Thunderstruck'! Wahoo should be standing before you right now as the reigning UWL World Champion! But, due to an unfortunate incident, Wahoo is not the World Champ! But he will be after he wins the tournament next week here on 'Slam!' and then finishes the job he started against Piper at 'Spring Mayhem' at 'Thunderstruck'!"

LN: "I notice that you didn't mention Harley at all. Is there a reason for that? Are there major problems on the horizon for JJ Dillon Enterprises?"

JJ: "If Harley can win his match tonight against Ken Patera and get into the tournament, fine! I will support him! I'm getting really sick of the same question week after week, Larry! There are no serious problems in the ranks of JJ Dillon Enterprises!"

HR: "Bullcrap! There are major problems in our camp and you know it! I'm getting tired of you coming out here and telling the world how nothing serious is wrong when everybody sees it accept you, JJ!"

WM: "Harley! Why don't you shut the hell up and just go out and wrestle your match tonight, pray you get a victory and then try to advance in the tournament next week! You're the trouble-maker, pal!"

JJ: "There's nothing to this, Larry. Things are being blown out of proportion. This is just a minor disagreement between Harley and Wahoo..."

HR: "This is not a minor disagreement, JJ! Things are coming apart at the seams and you refuse to acknowledge it! You need to make a decision! You either manage me, or you manage Wahoo! It's impossible for us to keep co-existing in JJ Dillon Enterprises!"

Race then turned and stalked out of the interview area as JJ and Wahoo looked on.

JJ (nervously): "This looks worse than it really is. It will all be smoothed over. Harley's just having a bad day or something."

JJ and Wahoo then quickly left the interview area as Nelson sent it back to ringside.)

Match 4

Adrian Adonis (w/ Ted DiBiase) (The Firm) vs. S.D. Jones

(Adonis and DiBiase came to the ring to the song 'Money' by Pink Floyd. They received a mixed crowd reaction. Adonis was wearing his NY Yankee's cap, black tights and dark blue and white boots with the Yanks' 'NY' logo on the outside of each boot. Ted was in his usual expensive suit.

Adonis destroyed Jones and finished Jones off with his finisher the reverse STO to score the 1...2...3.

WINNER: Adonis - Pinfall - Reverse STO - 2:12)

(After the match, Adonis took the mic from r.a. Marshall.

Adrian: "I just wanted to inform the viewing audience of the name of my finishing move that you just saw. I call it the 'Goodnight Irene'. Because when my opponent's face slams into the mat it's lights out for them.

"And now, I want to make a personal dedication. I dedicate this next 'Goodnight Irene' to one Mr. Lex Luger!"

Jones was still down and Adonis went over and pulled Jones up and prepared to hit him with another 'Goodnight Irene' when Luger came out to a loud pop. Adonis let go of Jones and bailed to the floor just as Luger hit the ring. Luger challenged Adonis to get back in the ring, but Adonis had words with DiBiase and then Adonis did the blow-off gesture with his right hand and he and Ted headed back up the aisle as Luger looked on from the ring.)

(Announcers discussed Adonis winning his debut match and Luger coming Jones' aid when Adonis was about to hit Jones with another 'Goodnight Irene' after the match. Also discussed the blow-up between Harley, Wahoo and JJ in their interview. Hyped still to come: UWL World Title Match: Roddy Piper (WC) vs. Rick Rude (The Firm); Wrestle-In Match #2: 'Superstar' Graham vs. Lex Luger; President Watts confronts Greg Valentine about Valentine breaking Steve Williams' ankle two weeks ago; the first 'Thunderstruck' PPV update; and more. Said Wrestle-in Match #1: Race vs. Patera was coming up!)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson interviewed UWL World Champion Roddy Piper in the locker room.

Piper was in his kilt, t-shirt and had the title on around his waist.

LN: "Roddy, tonight you face Rick Rude of The Firm with the World Title on the line. Do you think you might be pushing it a little putting the belt up against another member of The Firm in such a short span of time?"

RP: "We in the UWL have to face The Firm head on! We must attack, attack, attack! The UWL wrestlers must be very aggressive when dealing with any member of the so-called 'elite' of professional wrestling! I'll put the World Title up against any member of The Firm at any time! We have got to let them know we aren't intimidated by them! They're gonna get their title shots, anyway! Might as well frustrate their attempts to win the biggest championship in our sport in short order! This belt is the key for them! It is their Holy Grail! The Firm believes that if they ever win the World Title, they are just one step away from making their power-play to take over the entire company! The UWL has to stand up and face the enemy! This is a do-or-die situation! No backing down, man!

"Rick Rude! You're getting your wish tonight by stepping into the ring with me with the belt up for grabs! Will you be the man who gets the job done for The Firm! Will you be the man to take the World Title off of me and give your organization the crown jewel of our sport?! Not if I have anything to say about it you won't! But you see, Larry, it doesn't end tonight! I retain the title and more of them will come at me! And I only have one thing to say about that! Let's rock.")

Match 5 (Wrestle-In Match #1 - Winner gets one of the final two spots in next week's tournament to decide who faces the World Champion at 'Thunderstruck')

Harley Race vs. Ken Patera

(Patera came to the ring to a good ovation.

Race came to the ring to pretty strong boos. Announcers pointed out that JJ Dillon was not with Race.

Two grizzled vets battled it out in an effort to land a coveted spot in next week's tournament. Back-and-forth battle throughout.

Midway through the match, JJ came out and made his way to ringside. Harley, who had gained an advanatge on Patera, seemed stunned to see JJ now at ringside. This gave Patera time to recover and roll Race up from behind for the pin try. 1...2...2-1/2... Race kicked out. The battle continued...

At the end of the match, Race once again had the advantage. Race had worked over Patera briefly and then bodyslammed Patera into position for a turnbuckle move. Race mounted the middle buckle and attempted to hit Patera with a diving headbutt but Patera rolled out of the way and Race crashed head first to the mat. Both men down. The two men made it to their feet and Race moved in on Patera and threw a punch that Patera blocked. Patera fired away on Race with head shots and then whipped Race into the ropes and looked to catch Race coming off with a clothesline but Race ducked the move and came back and he and Patera clotheslined each other. Both men crashed to the mat. Suddenly, Wahoo came charging to the ring and jumped up on the apron. Ref went over and ordered Wahoo off the apron. Ref distracted by Wahoo. Race made it to his feet first as Patera slowly started to get up facing away from Race. JJ climbed in the ring behind Race just as Race had gotten up. JJ dropped to a knee and hit Harley with a low-blow. Race crashed to the mat as JJ bailed from the ring to the floor. Wahoo suddenly jumped down off the apron as JJ walked over and met Wahoo and he and Wahoo headed back up the aisle to boos. Patera to his feet saw Wahoo and JJ leaving and then turned and saw Race down. Ref now also had his attention turned back to the match. As the groggy Race started to get to his feet, Patera moved in and grabbed Race in the full nelson and then blasted Race with his full nelson finisher. Patera covered Race and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell as the fans cheered. Ref then raised Patera's hand in victory. Patera looked over at Race and then left the ring. Patera slapped hands with fans on the way back up the aisle.

Ref went over to check on Race but Race waved the ref off. Race stood in the middle of the ring with hands on hips for a moment and looked around. Race then left the ring and made his way back up the aisle with his head down.

WINNER: Patera - Pinfall - Full Nelson Slam - 7:51)

(Announcers discussed the turn of events in the match with Race and Patera.

Pedicino: "Well, it looks like the question has been answered. Harley gave JJ an ultimatum earlier tonight and JJ chose to stick with Wahoo and throw him to the wolves."

Stack: "I'd like to say I'm shocked at what transpired, but I'm not. An explosion within JJ Dillon Enterprises has been brewing for months now and we just witnessed that explosion and it was big."

Hyped still to come: UWL World Title Match: Roddy Piper (WC) vs. Rick Rude (The Firm); President Watts confronts Greg Valentine about Valentine breaking Steve Williams' ankle two weeks ago; the first 'Thunderstruck' PPV update; and more. Said Wrestle-In Match #2: 'Superstar' Graham vs. Lex Luger was coming up!)

(Video aired for next week's 2-1/2 hour special edition of 'Slam!' - Next Tuesday - FX - Special Start Time: 8:30pm E/P!)

Match 6 (Wrestle-In Match #2: Winner gets the final slot in next week's tournament to decide who faces the World Champion at 'Thunderstruck')

'Superstar' Graham (w/ Grand Wizard) vs. Lex Luger

(Graham and Wizard came to the ring to the strains of 'California Dreamin'. Graham was wearing his 'I AM A PROFESSIONAL!' t-shirt and tie-dyed ring attire. Wizard was in his tie-dyed tux, gold turban, white shoes and carrying his gold-tipped black cane. Pretty strong boos for Graham and Wiz.

Once in the ring, Graham struck some bodybuilder poses as the fans booed some more.

Luger came to the ring to a strong ovation. Luger slapped hands with fans while coming down the aisle.

Not a long match as the guys hit each other with a few power wrestling moves but neither could put the other away.

At the end of the match, Graham was on the offensive. Graham whipped Luger into the ropes and caught Luger coming off with a savate kick. Luger down. Graham for the cover. 1...2... Luger kicked out. Graham pulled Luger up and whipped Luger into the buckles. Graham charged at Luger but Luger stunned Graham by coming out of the corner and blasting Graham with his forearm smash to the head. Graham crashed to the mat as the fans popped. Just then, Adonis came charging down to ringside as Luger ran and hit the ropes. Adonis reached in the ring and grabbed Luger's ankle, stopping Luger dead in his tracks. Adonis let go of the leg and Luger turned and saw who it was. Adonis started backing up up the aisleway. An enraged Luger left the ring and charged at Adonis. Luger tackled Adonis in the aisle and started pounding on Adonis with punches. Ref was counting in the ring. Luger was pummeling Adonis, who tried to cover up as Luger was firing away. Graham got to his feet in the ring. Ref's count hit 20 and the ref called for the bell. As soon as Luger heard the bell ring, he stopped hitting Adonis and got to his feet. Luger saw the ref raising Graham's hand in victory. Luger charged back into the ring and had words with the ref as Graham and Wizard were celebrating their win.

Luger picked up on a mic.

Lex: "No! No! This is bullshit!"

Graham and Wizard left the ring and Luger took the r.a. mic from Marshall. Adonis was now standing in the aisle and holding his head from the pounding he allowed himself to take at Luger's hands. But Adonis was also smirking.

Lex: "Adonis! That's it, dammit! I want the match between you and me and I want it as soon as possible! This crap's gone on long enough!"

Adonis stood in the aisle shaking his head in the affirmative while still holding his head with one hand. Luger was livid in the ring and was glaring at Adonis.

WINNER: Graham - Countout - 4:44)

(Announcers talked about Adonis costing Luger his wrestle-in match with Graham and a shot at the World Title at 'Thunderstruck'. Hyped still to come: UWL World Title Match: Roddy Piper (WC) vs. Rick Rude (The Firm); the first 'Thunderstruck' PPV update; and more. Said President Watts confronts Greg Valentine about Valentine breaking Steve Williams' ankle two weeks ago in just minutes!)

4 - Rip Oliver

5 - Hugh Morrus (TV Champion)

* The President's Champion is automatically deemed the #1 contender.)

(Video clip aired from two weeks ago of Greg Valentine attacking Steve Williams and breaking Williams' ankle in the figure four.)

(In-ring: 'Born In The USA' played over the p.a. system and out came Pres. Watts. He had a mic. He received a modest ovation.

BW: "Before I get to the main reason that I'm out here, I have some brief announcements I need to make.

"We have just signed another big match for next week's special 2-1/2 hour edition fo 'Slam!'. As you all know, their are two factions here that have some serious heat with each other. Those two sides will meet in a 6-man tag next Tuesday. It's gonna be Father Dutch, Grog and the Sacred Anvil vs. Dallas Page, Buzz Sawyer and Brian Blair!"

Modest crowd reaction.

BW: "Also, that woman who came out and attacked Madusa and Luna during their match, her name is Awesome Kong. We have no idea who the man was with her. We're gonna try and have an interview with them on next week's program as well.

"And things have gone far enough between Lex Luger and Adrian Adonis. At 'Thunderstruck', they're gonna square off in a match!"

More cheers for the 'Thunderstruck' announcement than next week's 6-man tag announcement.

BW: "Now...where's Greg Valentine?!"

After a brief pause, 'All Along The Watchtower' by Hendrix played over the p.a. system. Out came Greg Valentine and mgr. Gary Hart to strong boos. Both men were in suits. They were strongly booed. Each had a mic.

The pair got in the ring and walked around for a moment soaking up the crowd reaction.

BW: "Greg, you know why I've called you out here."

GV: "Of course, Bill. I broke the ankle of your boy Steve 'Dr. Death' Williams. You thought you were going to suprise me by springing him on me as my mystery opponent two weeks ago; but instead, I suprised him by putting him on the shelf for the next few months."

BW: "It's really hard not to lose my temper right now. The first thing I want to tell you is that I'm not going to suspend you again. But, I am going to fine you again. And your fine this time is in the amount of $50,000 dollars."

GV: "Wow, Bill, that's $150 grand you've taken out of my wallet in the last three months. And my guess is that number will climb in the weeks and months ahead. I'm on the warpath now. Nobody is gonna stand in my way of making it back to the top. And that includes any pals of yours, Watts!"

BW: "You're treading on real thin ice with me, Greg! Watch your step!"

Hart: "President Watts, if I may."

Watts turned his head and looked over at Watts and that was all the room Valentine needed. Valentine sucker punched Watts in the face. Valentine then nailed Watts with a few more punches to the head that drove the staggered Watts into the corner. Valentine then zeroed in on Watts' left leg and started kicking Watts in his left knee area. Valentine then pulled Watts out of the corner and threw Watts down on the mat. Valentine ripped off his suit jacket and tossed it aside. Valentine stomped on Watts. Watts now prone. Valentine then stomped on Watts' left ankle a few times. Greg then slapped Watts in the figure four.

Pedicino: "He's trying to break Watts' ankle just like he broke Steve Williams' ankle a couple of weeks ago."

Greg tightened up on the hold and started rocking back and forth violently to apply more pressure. Watts in serious pain. Valentine broke the hold and bailed from the ring as UWL security members hit the ring. Watts down and holding his ankle and hurting. Valentine and Hart looking on from the floor. Some security members came down and ordered Valentine and Hart to head to the back. Valentine and Hart had words with security team members and then started heading back up the aisle to more boos.

In the ring, two security team members helped Watts to his feet. Watts had his left foot raised off the ground. Watts ordered the two security members to step and away and Watts tried to stand on his left leg. As soon as Watts put his foot down, he let out a groan and was on the verge of going down but the security members kept Watts from falling over. They helped Watts over to the ropes and Watts carefully laid down on the mat and rolled out onto the apron and then carefully dropped to the floor and the security members each had Watts put an arm around them and they helped Watts to the back as the President kept his left foot raised off the ground.)

(Announcers discussed Valentine attacking Watts and trying to break Watts' left ankle in the figure four and security coming out to save Watts. Said the UWL World Title Match: Roddy Piper © vs. Rick Rude (The Firm) was coming up!)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson interviewed Rick Rude and Firm Director Ted DiBiase.

LN: "Ted DiBiase, The Firm has another chance to try and bring home the UWL World Title tonight. Do you think your man will succeed this time?"

TD: "I have great faith that Rick Rude will be successful tonight and the World Title will become the property of The Firm."

LN: "What if that doesn't happen? What if Roddy Piper retains the title?"

TD: "Perish the thought, Larry Nelson. I won't allow myself or anyone else in the organization to think that way. The World Title is a key piece of the puzzle being put together by The Firm. And when we finally have all the proper pieces in place, we will be the masters of the UWL universe."

LN: "Rick Rude, your boss seems to have a lot of faith in you."

RR: "As well he should! Mr. DiBiase, I am going to go out there in a few minutes and reward the faith you have in me! Roddy Piper's going down! And the UWL World Title will find a new home around the most gorgeous, perfect waist in our sport!")

Match 7 (UWL World Title: Winner defends the title at 'Thunderstruck')

Roddy Piper © vs. Rick Rude (w/ DiBiase) (The Firm)

('Money' played over the p.a. system and Rude and DiBiase made their way to the ring to a mixed crowd reaction.

The pair got in the ring and Rude took the r.a. mic.

RR: "What I would like right now is for all the fat, out-of-shape losers who call themselves men to sit down and shut up while I give their ladies the thrill of a lifetime by showing them what a real man looks like!"

Rude removed his robe and then placed his hands behind his head and gyrated his hips. Rude then flexed and kissed his biceps.

Bagpipe music then played and the crowd popped as Roddy Piper came to the ring. Piper got in the ring and acknowledged the cheering throng.

Piper took the belt off and handed it to the ref. Ref held it up for all to see. Ref called both men out to the middle of the ring. DiBiase was with Rude. Ref laid down the ground rules, patted both men down and then sent each man to their corners. DiBiase had some last minute words for Rude and then left the ring and dropped to the floor.

Ref called for the bell...

The two men came out and circled one another and engaged in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Piper drove Rude into the ropes and the ref forced a break. The two men then locked up once more and this time Rude threw Piper off and Piper went down. As Piper got up, Rude flexed his biceps once again. They locked up again and this time Piper threw Rude off and Rude went down. Piper then mocked Rude by flexing his own biceps as fans cheered. Rude got up. The two went to lock up once more but this time Rude caught Piper in a side headlock. Rude cinched up on the hold. Piper tried to shove Rude off but Rude wouldn't let go. After a little more struggle in the hold, Piper countered with a belly-to-back suplex. Piper got up and then Rude made it to his feet and Piper moved in with a series of boxing-style punches on Rude that drove Rude against the ropes. Piper whipped Rude into the ropes and caught Rude coming off with a dropkick. Rude went down. Piper grabbed Rude and slammed Rude's head into the top buckle 10 straight times as the crowd counted along. Piper then grabbed Rude in a side headlock and went to nail Rude with a running bulldog but Rude shoved Piper off and Piper crashed to the mat. Piper got up and was greeted by a series of punches from Rude. Rude whipped Piper into the ropes and caught Piper coming off with a clothesline that dropped Piper. Rude for the cover. 1... Piper kicked out. Rude then bodyslammed Piper into position for a turnbuckle move. Rude mounted the middle buckle and came off with a knee drop to the head. Rude for the cover. 1...2... Piper kicked out.

Rude pulled Piper up and whipped Piper into the buckles. Rude charged in and attempted to clothesline Piper but Piper moved out of the way and Rude crashed front-first into the buckles. Rude staggered backwards out of the corner and Piper spun Rude around and popped Rude with boxing-style punches and then poked Rude in the eyes. As Rude grabbed at his eyes, Piper maneuvered around and caught Rude in the sleeper hold. Rude fighting not to pass out. Piper cinched up on the hold as Rude was moving around trying to free himself or get to the ropes. Rude moved close enough to the ropes that he was able to get his hand on the top rope but Piper ripped Rude away from the ropes and kept Rude locked in the hold. Rude in the hold for a few more seconds before countering with a jawbreaker to the top of his head. Piper fell back against the ropes. Rude got to his feet as Piper moved off the ropes. Rude moved in and blasted Piper with a punch and then started maneuvering Piper into position to nail Piper with the Rude Awakening but Piper slid out of Rude's grasp and caught Rude in a backslide. Piper for the pin. 1...2... Rude kicked out. The two men got to their feet and Rude caught Piper with a knee to the gut. Rude whipped Piper into the ropes and looked to catch Piper coming off with a clothesline but Piper ducked the move and came back and pulverized Rude with the spear. Rude crashed to he mat and rolled over next to the ropes. Piper covered Rude. 1...2... DiBiase came over and put Rude's leg on the bottom rope. ...3! Ref got up and was about to call for the bell. Piper got to his feet thinking he'd won the match and raised his arms in the air. DiBiase yelled for the ref to look at where Rude's foot was. Ref saw Rude's foot on the bottom rope and signaled for the match to continue. Piper had his back turned to Rude and still had his arms raised. Ref went over and yanked one of Piper's arms down and told Piper the match would continue. Rude had recovered and when Piper turned to go after Rude, Rude nailed Piper with a kick to the gut that doubled Piper over. Rude then blasted Piper a spike piledriver. Rude for cover. 1...2...2-1/2... Piper managed to kick out. Rude picked up Piper and hit Piper with a pendulum backbreaker that set up a turnbuckle move.

DiBiase yelled for the ref to check on Piper to see if he could continue. Announcers said that if the ref stopped the match Rude would win the strap. While the ref checked on Piper, Rude went out on the apron and DiBiase, in front of God and everybody, except the ref and Piper, handed Rude his fingerless black glove. Rude slid the glove on and mounted the top buckle as the ref backed away from the barely moving Piper. Rude came off the top buckle with a gloved fist drop but Piper rolled out of the way Rude slammed his fist into the mat. Both men down as Rude was holding his hand. Both men got to their feet at the same time, Rude went to hit Piper with a glove-laden punch but Piper ducked the move and Rude spun himself around and Piper popped Rude with an atomic drop. Rude not down but he was hurting. Piper hit the ropes behind Rude and came off and caught Rude with a facebuster. Crowd exploded. Hall and Nash, minus the tag titles, came walking down the aisle, but they would never make it to the ring, as Lord and Link charged down behind the tag champs and caught them in the aisle and started brawling with them. Crowd going nuttier than a box of Christmas fruitcakes. Piper locked Rude in the ankle lock. DiBiase went over and grabbed a chair and the fans got even louder when Arn Anderson charged past the brawlers in the aisle and intercepted DiBiase on the floor. Arn and DiBiase had a stand-off. Rude managed to get to the ropes and got a hand on the bottom rope but Piper yanked Rude away from the ropes and back to the middle of the ring. Rude immediately tapped out to the delight of the crowd. Ref called for the bell.

Ref went over and had words with Lee Marshall and took the belt.

Camera caught a shot of Arn and DiBiase having words on the floor as DiBiase had the chair raised. Another camera shot of Lord and Link brawling with Hall and Nash off to the side of the entrance stage.

Ref handed Piper the title and raised Piper's hand in victory. Fans eating it up.

Marshall: "Ladies and Gentlemen! In a time of 9 minutes, 27 seconds, your winner...and STILL UWL World Champion...'Rowdy' Roddy Piper!"

Shot of a victorious Piper with the belt slung over his shoulder.

Hugh Morrus (TVC) vs. David Schultz (The Firm)

Group B

Ken Patera vs. Dusty Rhodes (The Firm)

Rick Steiner (PC) vs. Wahoo McDaniel

Match 1 (Group A Tournament Match)

Arn Anderson vs. 'Superstar' Graham (w/ Grand Wizard)

('California Dreamin' played over the p.a. system and Graham and mgr. Grand Wizard made their way to the ring to fairly strong boos.

Graham was in his 'I AM A PROFESSIONAL!' t-shirt and tie-dyed ring attire. Wizard was in his tie-dyed tux, gold turban, white shoes and carrying his gold-tipped cane.

As the pair came to the ring, video aired from last week of Graham defeating Luger by countout in their tourney qualifying match thanks to Adonis distracting Luger.

In the ring, Graham did his bodybuilder posing routine to boos.

After a brief pause, the song 'The Fight' by Giorgio Moroder played over the p.a. system. Out came Arn Anderson to a solid ovation. Arn slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring.

As expected, nothing less than a fight between these two. Graham took around 60% of the match. Both men had chances to win but couldn't put the other away. Wizard never interfered.

At the end of the match, Graham was on the offensive and worked Arn over with some punches. Graham then picked Arn up and popped Arn with a backbreaker across the knee. Arn hurtin' for certain. Graham pulled Arn up and bashed Arn with a series of forearms to the lower back. Graham then whipped Arn into the ropes and caught Arn coming off in the 'Superstar Squeeze' (aka, bearhug). Arn fought in the hold not to give up even though his back was in excrutiating pain. After being in the hold for around 15-seconds, Arn escaped by nailing Graham in the side of the head with a series of punches. Once free, Arn grabbed at his lower back. Graham took advantage and nailed Arn with a few punches to Arn's head. Arn stunned. Graham then nailed Arn with some more forearms to the lower back. Arn on his feet but in dire pain. Graham then backed up against the ropes and charged at Arn and looked to nail Arn with his big running clothesline but Arn instead suprised Graham by catching Graham with the spinebuster. Crowd popped. Arn went for the cover. 1...2... Graham kicked out. Arn grabbed Graham and went to whip Graham into the ropes but Graham reversed and caught Arn coming off with a savate kick. Arn went down. As Arn got up, Graham moved in and prepared to nail Arn with a double sledge but Arn stunned Graham with a kick to the gut that doubled Grahm over. Arn then nailed Graham with a DDT. Arn covered Graham and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell as the fans popped. Arn painfully got to his feet and was grabbing at his lower back as the ref raised Arn's hand in victory.

WINNER: Arn - Pinfall - DDT - 5:41)

(Announcers discussed Arn winning his first-round match against Graham and advancing to face the winner of the Hugh Morrus (TVC) vs. David Schultz (The Firm) match which was coming up next!)

Match 2 (Group A Tournament Match)

Hugh Morrus (TVC) vs. David Schultz (w/ Ted DiBiase) (The Firm)

(Morrus came to the ring to a decent ovation. He had the title on around his waist.

Announcers mentioned that Hugh could be wrestling in two title matches at 'Thunderstruck'. Hugh could be facing Roddy Piper for the UWL World Title; and he's already agreed to defend the TV Title against former TV Champ Rip Oliver in a match with the stip that the Loser Leaves The UWL. Said that if Hugh wins the tournament tonight but loses to Oliver at 'Thunderstruck', it could throw the World Title match at the PPV into chaos.

'Money' played over the p.a. system and out came David Schultz and Firm Director Ted DiBiase. DiBiase was in a suit. They received the usual Firm mixed crowd reaction.

Hugh took the match early until Schultz caught Hugh with the always brutal eye rake. Schultz then had control of the match. At one point, Schultz had thrown Hugh out of the ring to the floor and Schultz distracted the ref as DiBiase got a few good kicks in on the downed Hugh and then threw Hugh back into the ring.

At the end of the match, Hugh had made a comeback and now had the advantage. Hugh whipped Schultz into the ropes and caught Schultz coming off with a flying headbutt to the chest. Schultz crashed to the mat. Hugh went out on the apron and mounted the top buckle as Schultz made his way to his feet. Schultz turned around and Hugh came off with a flying bodypress on Schultz. Schultz hit the mat and rolled through the move and was on top of Hugh and grabbed a handful of tights as he went for the pin. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell. Schultz quickly rolled out of the ring and dropped to the floor where DiBiase was waiting for him. DiBiase raised Hugh's hand in victory to a mixed crowd reax and the pair then headed back up the aisle. Schultz turned and looked back at Hugh in the ring and Schultz pointed at his head, signaling he'd outsmarted Hugh.

WINNER: Schultz - Pinfall - Rolled through a Flying Bodypress and held Hugh's tights - 6:14)

(After the match: Hugh was still in the ring and was disappointed. He was facing away from the entrance stage. Out came Oliver on the entrance stage to pretty strong boos. He was in street clothes and had a mic.

RO: "Hey, Hugh."

Hugh turned and looked and saw Oliver.

RO: "Not only are you now not getting the World Title shot at 'Thunderstruck'. But your UWL career is also coming to an end that day...courtesy of me."

Hugh looked on as Rip smirked and then turned and headed to the back.)

(Announcers discussed Schultz beating Hugh and advancing to the next round. Hyped still to come: Group B matches of the first round of the tournament to get the World Title shot at 'Thunderstruck'!)

(Video aired for the 'Deja Vu Presents: Thunderstruck' PPV - Sunday - June 9 - Seattle, WA - Key Arena - 8pm E/5pm P - Tickets on sale NOW!)

Match 3 (Group B Tournament Match)

Ken Patera vs. Dusty Rhodes (w/ DiBiase) (The Firm)

(Patera came to the ring to the song 'There's No Easy Way Out' by Ron Tepper. He got a solid ovation coming to the ring. Patera acknowledged the crowd once in the ring.

'La Grange' by ZZ Top played over the p.a. system and out came Rhodes and DiBiase to a mixed crowd reax. Rhodes was wearing his top hat, black satin ring jacket with 'Dusty' written in red cursive lettering on the back, black tights and white cowboy-style wrestling boots.

Dusty held the advantage early before Patera fought his way back into the match. Match then became a see-saw affair. During the match, Dusty tried to pin Patera with his feet on the ropes but Patera escaped defeat. Dusty also nailed Patera with a thumb to the throat. Dusty also tried to finish off Patera with the 'Stardust Driver' but Patera escaped the hold before Dusty could apply it.

At the end of the match, the men were battling back-and-forth. Dusty had just stunned Patera with a bionic elbow to the head. Dusty went to whip Patera into the ropes but Patera reversed and caught Dusty coming off with a double sledge to the chest. Dusty crashed to the mat. Patera for the cover. 1...2...2-3/4... Dusty kicked out. Patera snapped Dusty up and whipped Patera into the ropes and caught Dusty coming off with a flying shoulder tackle. Dusty crashed to the mat next to the ropes and got one arm and one leg over the bottom rope. Ref ordered Patera to stand back. Dusty crawled out onto the apron. Dusty started making it to his feet on the apron and Patera went over and grabbed Dusty and tried to drag him back into the ring. During the tussle, Dusty was able to reach through the top and middle rope and yank Patera's legs out from under him. Patera crashed to the mat. Dusty got in the ring and dropped an elbow smash on Patera and then covered Patera for the pin. Patera's feet were sticking out under the bottom rope and the ref didn't catch it. DiBiase grabbed Patera's ankles as the ref counted. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell. Dusty got to his feet and had his hand raised in victory. An angry Patera sat up and looked at DiBiase and DiBiase looked at Patera. DiBiase gestured he didn't do anything. Patera got to his feet and was still looking down at DiBiase as Dusty grabbed the r.a. mic and went over and joined DiBiase.

DR: "Face it, Patera! You lost! Get over it!"

Patera started to leave the ring to go after the pair but the ref intercepted Patera, put his hands up and ordered Patera not to go after them. Patera started having words with the ref in the ring as Dusty and Ted fled the scene. Patera gestured that DiBiase had held his ankles while the pin was going on. Ref pointed to his eyes and told Patera he didn't see it. Pater now took the r.a. mic.

KP: "You people saw it! Did Ted DiBiase hold my legs down during the pin?!"

Crowd cheered and many yelled 'yes'. Ref and Patera talked some more and the ref again gestured that he did not see it. The two talked a little more and then Patera left the ring an angry man.

WINNER: Rhodes - Pinfall - Elbow Smash and DiBiase held Patera's legs down during the pinfall - 6:36)

(Announcers discussed Dusty winning with help from Ted DiBiase and advancing in the tournament. Hyped still to come: 6-Man Tag: DDP, Brian Blair & Buzz Sawyer vs. Father Dutch, Grog & Sacred Anvil; the interview with Awesome Kong and her mystery man; and more. Said the final match of the first round of the tournament was coming up: Wahoo McDaniel vs. President's Champ Rick Steiner!)

(Video aired for the 'UWL on Tour': Fri. - June 7 - Boston, MA - Agganis Arena @ Boston Univ.; Sat. - June 8 - Springfield, MA - Massmutual Center; Fri. - June 21 - Manchester, NH - Verizon Wireless Arena; Sat. - June 22 - Kingston, RI - Ryan Center. More info, visit: uwlslam.com!)

(Video clips aired from last week of Harley Race delivering an ultimatum to mgr. JJ Dillon; telling JJ he would have to manage Wahoo or him and not both of them and JJ costing Harley his tournament wrestle-in match against Ken Patera by sneaking in the ring when the ref was distracted by Wahoo and JJ low-blowing Harley leading to defeat.)

Match 4 (Group B Tournament Match)

Wahoo McDaniel (w/ JJ) vs. Rick Steiner (PC)

(Wahoo and JJ came to the ring to strong boos. JJ was in a suit.

'Welcome To The Jungle' played over the p.a. system and out came Rick Steiner to a nice ovation. Steiner came to the ring barking. Steiner then ran around the ring slapping hands with fans and barking some more as the crowd barked back. Steiner then got in the ring and ran around and barked some more.

Wahoo and Steiner fought each other with the ferocity of two ring warriors. Both men hit some of their big moves during the match but both managed to escape defeat.

At the end of the match, Steiner was on the offensive. Steiner whipped Wahoo into the buckles and then charged in and tried to hit Wahoo with a running shoulder block but Wahoo moved and Steiner slammed shoulder first into the ring post. Steiner extracted himself from the post and Wahoo moved in and battered Steiner with a series of brutal chest chops. Wahoo then whipped Steiner into the ropes and tried to catch Steiner coming off with his big chop finisher but Steiner ducked the move and came back and nailed Wahoo with a Steiner Line. Wahoo went down. Wahoo got up and Steiner dropped Wahoo with another Steiner Line. Wahoo got up again and Steiner went for a third Steiner Line but Wahoo dropped down, grabbed the front of Steiner's singlet and threw Steiner into the corner. Steiner slammed into the buckles and went down. Both men down. Out on the floor, JJ fumbled around briefly in his right front jacket pocket and brandished a pair of knux. Wahoo had gotten to a knee. Ref was looking over at the downed Steiner. Crowd popped as Race, in street duds, came charging down to ringside. Just as JJ was about to toss the knux to Wahoo, Race came up behind JJ and repaid JJ with a low-blow of his own. JJ and the knux crashed to the floor. Crowd popped. Wahoo looked at Harley and yelled something at him and then Wahoo turned to go back after Steiner. Steiner had recovered and was on his feet and Wahoo walked right into Steiner's arms. Steiner hoisted Wahoo across his shoulders and nailed Wahoo with the 'Steiner Driver' (aka, Death Valley Driver). Steiner covered Wahoo and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell as the fans roared. Shot of Race now looking on from the aisleway. Ref handed Steiner the President's Championship and raised Steiner's paw in victory. Steiner left the ring and dropped to the floor and started barking and the crowd barked back as Steiner made his way back up the aisle with the belt slung over his shoulder.

WINNER: Steiner - Pinfall - Steiner Driver - 7:47)

(Announcers discussed Steiner defeating Wahoo and Race getting a measure of revenge on JJ.

Announcers then announced the tournament semi-final match-ups:

Group A: Arn Anderson vs. David Schultz of The Firm

Group B: Dusty Rhodes of The Firm vs. Rick Steiner (PC)

Hyped still to come: 6-Man Tag: DDP, Buzz Sawyer & Brian Blair vs. Father Dutch, Grog & The Sacred Anvil. Said an interview with Awesome Kong and her mystery man was next!)

(Video aired from last week of UWL Women's World Champion Madusa wrestling Luna in an non-title affair and Awesome Kong and a mystery man coming out and Kong getting in the ring and destroying both Madusa and Luna with the implant buster (aka, lifting double underhook facebuster.)

(In-ring: Lee Marshall i'viewed Awesome Kong and her mystery man.

'Cry of the Vatos' by Oingo Boingo played over the p.a. system and Kong, in her ring attire, and the black man came to the ring. The man was in a brown suit and wearing a Fedora. Crowd buzzing.

LM: "Before we go any further, sir, I need you to tell us who you are?"

Man: "My name is the Slickster! But, y'all can call me Slick! Are ya diggin' my jive, Lee Marshall!"

LM: "I'm diggin' it all right. You are the manager of Awesome Kong?"

Slick: "That's right! Slick knows talent when he sees it! And this lady has a 'hood full of talent!"

LM: "What was the reason for her attack on Madusa and Luna last week?"

Slick: "This lady is not just some ordinary woman wrestler! Wherever she goes, she always has to make a big first impression! Because we all know how important a first impression is! Did you see what she did to Luna and the champion Madusa last week?! It was awesome! And that's why she's called Awesome Kong! But I want to point one thing out! The main target in that attack last week was Madusa! Luna just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time! You are looking at the next Women's World Champion in the UWL! Kong is gonna reign down terror and destruction upon every female wrestler here! And she's gonna start right at the top with you, Madusa!"

Luna came out and power-walked to the ring. She got very little reaction. Luna got in the ring.

Luna: "Awesome Kong! You may want Madusa and the World Title! But first, you're gonna have to deal with me! I want a match with you...right now!"

Modest crowd reaction.

LM: "Wait a minute. I don't know if we can allow this right now. For a match to be made we have to go through the proper channels... Hold it! I've just gotten word in my earpiece that President Watts has given the OK for this match to happen right now! It's Awesome Kong vs. Luna! Can we get a referee out here!"

Ref hurriedly came out to the ring. Slick had a few final words with Awesome Kong and left the ring. Ref called for the bell.)

Match 5

Awesome Kong (w/ Slick) vs. Luna

(Luna came out on the attack early and took the fight to Kong but Kong gained the advantage and dominated the rest of the short match. Kong battered Luna around the ring and finished her off with the implant buster and scored the 1...2...3!

WINNER: Awesome Kong - Pinfall - Implant Buster - 2:05)

(After the match: Slick got in the ring as Kong was having her hand raised in victory, crowd popped as Madusa charged down the aisle in street clothes and was carrying the title. Madusa dropped the title on the floor and quickly got into the ring. When Kong turned around, Madusa nailed Kong with a series of stiff kicks that staggered Kong. Slick bailed to the floor. Madusa then whipped Kong into the ropes and looked to catch Kong coming off with a dropkick but Kong grabbed the top rope and Madusa crashed to the mat. Kong waited for Madusa to get up and when Madusa did, Kong steamrolled right over her. Madusa flattened on the mat. Kong then dropped an elbow smash on Madusa and then started to pick Madusa up for the implant buster. Luna, now recovered, climbed back into the ring with a chair. Kong let go of Madusa and glared at the chair-wielding Luna. Slick, on the floor, ordered Kong to leave the ring. After a few more seconds of mandatory wrestling staredown, Kong left the ring. As she and Slick started slowly making their way back up the aisle, Luna still stood at the ready with the chair in the ring in case Kong tried to come back. Madusa was now sitting up in the corner and being checked on by the ref.)

(Announcers discussed Kong defeating Luna in an impromptu match and Madusa attacking Kong but Kong driving Madusa to the mat and Luna coming to Madusa's aid with a chair. Also pointed out that her manager's name was Slick. Said the semi-finals of the tournament for a shot at the UWL World Title at the 'Thunderstruck' PPV were coming up! Then sent it backstage.)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson was standing in the locker room with Ken Patera.

LN: "Ken, you have been livid since the moment you got backstage. No doubt this has to do with the finish of your torunament match with Dusty Rhodes."

KP: "You're damn right! This has everything to do with how I was robbed in my match with Dusty Rhodes thanks to Ted DiBiase! Everyone but the referee saw what happened out there! DiBiase held my legs and it made it impossible for me to kick out of the pin attempt by Dusty! I wanted that World Title shot at 'Thunderstruck' just like everybody else! But my chance was yanked right out from under me thanks to that rat DiBiase!

"In case you've forgotten, I was the first man signed by DiBiase for The Firm! I gave the group everything I had! And then DiBiase ordered me kicked out of the group because one day he thought I wasn't Firm material anymore! Well, I want a match with my former boss! I want Ted DiBiase in the ring! Get me a contract and I'll sign it! I want the match as soon as possible! I've been waging war against my former allies in The Firm since they showed their true colors towards me! Tonight was a breaking point! It's time that DiBiase and I had our own one-on-one war for all the world to witness!")

Match 6 (Group A Tournament Semi-Final)

Arn Anderson vs. David Schultz (w/ DiBiase) (The Firm)

(Arn came to the ring to the song 'The Fight' and got a solid ovation.

'Money' played over the p.a. system and out came Schultz with DiBiase to a mixed crowd reaction.

Rough-and-tumble affair between these two. During the match, DiBiase reached into the ring and tripped up Arn and gave the advantage to Schultz, but 'Dr. D' couldn't put Arn away.

At the end of the match, Arn was on the offensive. Arn popped Schultz with some punches and then dropped Schultz with a short-arm clothesline. Arn then caught Schultz with a knee drop to the head and went for the cover. 1...2... Schultz kicked out. Arn pulled Schultz up and went to whip Schultz into the ropes but Schultz reversed and bent down looking to catch Arn coming off with a backdrop but Arn stunned Schultz with a DDT. Arn again for the cover. 1...2...2-1/2... Schultz barely kicked out. Crowd groaned. Arn grabbed Schultz and started pulling Schultz up when Schultz stunned Arn with an open hand thrust to the throat. Arn staggered back into the corner. Schultz moved in with a series of knees to Arn's gut. Schultz then picked up Arn and dropped Arn with a modified frontal suplex across the top rope. Arn dangling on the rope. Schultz then nailed Arn with a running high knee. Arn snapped back, toppled off the apron and crashed to the floor. Ref ordered Schultz to stand back as he began the 20-count. Arn still down on the floor. Schultz came over and broke the 20-count and tried to leave the ring but the ref ordered Schultz back yet again and Schultz distratced the ref by having words with him. DiBiase came over as Arn was getting to his feet. DiBiase came up behind Arn, spun Arn around and drove Arn back first into the ring apron. Arn toppled back down to the floor. DiBiase backed off. Schultz suddenly stopped arguing with the ref.

Schultz yelled at the ref to start counting. Ref started the 20-count. Schultz was not interfering with the count now. Count grew and Arn started to stir on the floor. Schultz started to prematurely celebrate. Arn got to his feet at 17 and was still somewhat disoriented. At the count of 19-1/2, Arn barely slid back into the ring under the bottom rope. Schultz didn't wait for Arn to get up and put the boots to Arn and then snapped Arn up, whipped Arn into the ropes and caught Arn coming off with a snap scoop powerslam. Arn down and writhing as Schultz went out on the apron and mounted the top turnbuckle as Arn got to his feet. When Arn got up, Schultz came off the top buckle and nailed Arn with an elbow to the top of the head. Arn back down. Schultz grabbed Arn and went to lock Arn into position for his Redneck Death Drop (aka, Scorpion Death Drop), when Arn suddenly spun around in Schultz's grasp, put his arm around Schultz's neck, grabbed Schultz's tights and stunned Schultz with the gourdbuster out of nowhere. Arn covered Schultz and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell as the fans popped. DiBiase got into the ring and charged at Arn as Arn got up and Arn stunned DiBiase by nailing him with a spinebuster that made the crowd reaction even louder. Ref raised Arn's hand in victory and Arn then left the ring to a strong ovation as DiBiase and Schultz were licking their wounds in the ring.

WINNER: Arn - Pinfall - Gourdbuster - 10:07)

(Announcers discussed Arn defeating Schultz and moving into the final of the tournament. Hyped still to come: 6-Man Tag: DDP, Buzz Sawyer & Brian Blair vs. Father Dutch, Grog & The Sacred Anvil; an appearance by Pres. Watts; another 'Thunderstruck' PPV update; and more. Said the other semi-final match: Dusty Rhodes (The Firm) vs. Rick Steiner (PC) was next!)

Match 7 (Group B Tournament Semi-Final)

Rick Steiner (PC) vs. Dusty Rhodes (w/ DiBiase) (The Firm)

('Welcome To The Jungle' played over the p.a.system and out came Steiner. He had the President's Championship slung over his shoulder. Decent crowd ovation. Usual barking routine on the way to the ring and running around ringside. Steiner ran around and barked in the ring as the crowd barked back.

'La Grange' played over the p.a. system and Rhodes and DiBiase made their way to the ring. Dusty was just in his tights and boots and DiBiase looked a little sore from the spinebuster he took from Arn Anderson a few minutes earlier. Received the usual mixed crowd reax.

Steiner came out on fire early but Dusty was able to fight his way back into the match. Dusty then held serve before the match became a brief back-and-forth affair. DiBiase never interfered. Dusty strangled Steiner on the top rope during the match and also tried to score a pin with handful of tights but couldn't put Steiner away.

At the end of the match, Steiner was on the offensive. Steiner had worked over Dusty with a couple of Steiner Lines and a series of head shots. Steiner whipped Dusty into the ropes and caught Dusty coming off with a side slam. Steiner for the cover. 1...2...2-3/4... Dusty got a shoulder up. Steiner then snapped Dusty up and nailed Dusty with a gutwrench suplex. Steiner for the cover again. 1...2... Dusty kicked out. Steiner grabbed Dusty, whipped Dusty into the ropes and caught Dusty coming off with a kick to the gut that doubled Dusty over. Steiner started to lock Dusty in for the double underhook powerbomb but Dusty escaped Steiner's grasp and backdropped Steiner. Steiner made it to his feet and Dusty stunned Steiner with a series of bionic elbows to the top of the head follwed by a double sledge to the side of the face. Steiner crashed to the mat. Dusty picked up Steiner and hoisted Steiner into position for his 'Stardust Driver' (aka, inverted piledriver) finisher but Steiner wriggled around and droped to his feet and reversed the hold and now had Dusty up for the 'Stardust Driver', but this time Dusty wriggled around and reversed position with Steiner once again. Dusty nailed Steiner with the 'Stardust Driver' and covered Steiner and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell. DiBiase got into the ring and congratulated Dusty on winning the match and the ref raised Dusty's hand in victory.

WINNER: Dusty - Pinfall - 'Stardust Driver' - 7:16)

(Announcers discussed Dusty winning and setting up the final between himself and Arn. Hyped still to come: Pres. Watts makes an appaearance. Said the 6-man tag was coming up.)

(Update on Tina Ferrari.

Announcers dicussed the ongoing search for Ferrari since she anounced she quit the promotion three weeks ago:

Pedicino: "Nothing new to report. We know of no one who knows where this woman is at this time. It's like she's fallen off the face of the earth. She's not returning calls, e-mails, tweets, anything. You have to wonder where she's gone."

Stack: "This whole situation is really mind-boggling. People who know her say they haven't seen her at her home in weeks. She's just gone. What's she doing? No one seems to know. It's like she walked out of the UWL and just kept on walking. We'll keep you fans abreast of any breaking news on this situation here on 'Slam!' You can also visit uwlslam.com to keep apprised of this matter."

Announcers then sent it backstage.)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson i'viewed Arn Anderson in the locker room.

LN: "Arn, you've made it to the final of the tournament to decide who will be getting the UWL World Title shot at 'Thunderstruck'. You'll be facing another member of The Firm; this time it's Dusty Rhodes. We know you've faced each other several times in your careers. You know each other's ring style very well. Will there be any change in strategy for this match?"

AA: "There will be no change in my strategy, Larry Nelson. Dusty and I can read each other like a book inside the ring. It's all gonna be about one thing; who can hit that last big move. That's what this match will hinge on. That's the bottom line. We each know when the other will do certain things during a match. The one added dimension to this match, of course, is Firm Director Ted DiBiase. He adds a whole new wrinkle to this match. You saw what I had to do to him after I beat David Schultz earlier tonight. Ted DiBiase will be a real wildcard here.

"Ted wants that World Title shot at 'Thunderstruck'. He is determined to have the UWL World Championship in The Firm's control. He's made no secret about his organization's plans. And it's obvious even to a blind man that The Firm is ratcheting up its efforts to get the title. I'm fighting a two-fold battle tonight. I want to win this match and face Roddy Piper for the title at 'Thunderstruck'. But I'm also fighting to keep another member of The Firm from getting the World Title shot they crave. Ted DiBiase is waging a withering assault on Roddy Piper. He's willing to suffer some defeats as long as he can wear down the World Champion. Because DiBiase believes that one day Piper will finally wilt and collapse under the pressure applied by The Firm and one of them will defeat Roddy Piper and become the new UWL World Champion. We UWL wrestlers must do everything we can to prevent The Firm from getting their hands on that belt. And I'm looking to do my part tonight.")

Match 8

DDP, Buzz Sawyer & Brian Blair vs. Father Dutch, Grog & The Sacred Anvil

(Gregorian chants filled the arena and Father Dutch, Grog and Sacred Anvil came to the ring to boos.

After a brief pause, music-only version of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' played and out came DDP and Buzz Sawyer to a good ovation. Blair was not with them. They didn't slap hands with fans and they looked very serious. Their usual pre-match antics weren't happening.

The pair got in the ring and DDP took the mic from r.a. Lee Marshall.

DDP: "The reason you don't see Brian Blair out here with us is because Brian Blair is being taken to the hospital for x-rays. It turns out that somebody decided to sneak attack Blair and smash him in the back with a lead pipe or something along those lines. No one saw the assault. How convenient that it happened not too long ago as we were getting ready for this match.

"Father Dutch, did you or one of you congregants have anything to do with it?"

FD ripped the mic out of DDP's hands.

FD: "Dallas Page! Sinner! How dare you accuse us of attacking your sin-filled partner Brian Blair! You are so typical of the heathen! You blame devout religious men of an attack and admit that no one saw it! You just punched another hole in your punch card to Hell! You are a liar of the highest order! But, as is the standard practice of reprobates, you blame three holy men without a shred of evidence! How do we know that you or Buzz didn't do it?!"

DDP took the mic back from FD.

DDP: "What reason would we have to do it?! This was supposed to be a six-man tag team match! And no one else except you three would have any reason to attack one of us!"

FD got in DDP's face.

FD: "Maybe what happened to sinner Blair was Divine intervention! Maybe he was taken out for supernatural reasons! Did you think of that?!"

DDP: "I guess the weapon just floated through the air and hit him, huh?!"

FD (sneering): "The Lord worketh in mysterious ways."

Marshall stepped in and took the mic.

LM: "I have just gotten word in my earpiece from backstage that President Watts will allow Page and Sawyer to pick a replacement partner."

DDP shook his head 'no'.

DDP: "Naw. Naw. Brian Blair was our partner in this match. Since he can't wrestle, me and Buzz will take you guys on ourselves."

Brief pause as Marshall listened intently on his earpiece.

LM: "President Watts has decided that he will allow this match to go forward as a handicap match."

Modest cheers.

The match became a handicap match.

Buzz and DDP gave Father Dutch and crew all they could handle. Outside (divine?) intervention helped save Father Dutch's team from defeat on a couple of occasions.

At the end of the match, DDP and Grog were the legal men in the ring. DDP was on the offensive and blasted Grog with the Diamond Cutter. DDP for the cover. 1...2... Sacred Anvil came in and broke up the pin try with a stomp to the head. Buzz hit the ring and nailed Anvil with a flying shoulder tackle that sent Anvil crashing to the mat. Ref trying to get Anvil and Buzz out fo the ring. Anvil got up next to the ropes and Buzz charged at Anvil and nailed Anvil with a clothesline and the momentum sent both men flying over the top rope and toppling to the floor. DDP grabbed Grog and nailed him with a jumping DDT. On the floor, Buzz went to whip Anvil into the barricade but Anvil reversed and sent Buzz crashing into the barricade. Buzz in a heap on the floor. DDP made the Diamond sign and snapped up Grog and blasted Grog with another Diamond Cutter. DDP for the cover again. Anvil got on the apron and tried to climb back into the ring and the ref intercepted him. Anvil grabbed the ref and wouldn't let him go.

Father Dutch brandished his small steel chain and wrapped it around his right fist as DDP symbolically made the three count in frustration. DDP got up and turned around...WHAM!...Father Dutch had snuck into the ring and blasted DDP in the head with his chain-laden fist. DDP crashed to the mat. Father Dutch dragged Grog into their corner and Father Dutch went and stood on the apron and dropped the chain back into his pocket. Anvil suddenly let go of the ref and went back to his corner. Grog, now somewhat recovered, reached up and tagged in the Anvil. Anvil wasted no time in picking the dazed DDP up and blasting DDP with his finisher the forward fireman's carry slam (aka, the Wasteland). Anvil covered DDP and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell as fans booed. Buzz had recoveed enough and made his way into the ring to check on DDP and see what happened.

The devilish trio started to make their way out of the ring when Father Dutch stopped them and said something to his congregants. Anvil and Grog went over and assaulted Sawyer with feet and fists and then Grog blasted Sawyer with his pumphandle slam finisher. DDP and Sawyer now both laid out. Father Dutch and crew then left the ring and headed back up the aisle to more boos as other refs came out and checked on DDP and Buzz.

WINNER: Father Dutch, Grog & The Sacred Anvil - Pinfall - Anvil pinned DDP with the Forward Fireman's Carry Slam - 8:28)

(Announcers discussed Brian Blair being mysteriously taken out backstage in an attack no one saw and FD and crew defeating DDP and Buzz in a handicap match and then Grog laying out Buzz with a pumphandle slam after the match. Hyped still to come: Tournament Final: Arn Anderson vs. Dusty Rhodes (The Firm). Said an appearance by Pres. Watts is coming up!)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson interviewed Dusty Rhodes and Ted DiBiase of The Firm in their locker room.

LN: "Dusty, you've made it to the tournament final against long-time foe Arn Anderson."

DR: "Arn Anderson. We meet again, my friend. Arn and 'Stardust' have battled each other countless times throughout our careers. We battered each other and shed a great deal of one another's blood. But we have never faced each other in a match where the stakes are as high as they are tonight! This match is not only for me...it's also for The Firm! I win tonight, jack, and we are one step closer to grabbing that World Title! Once that title is ours, we aren't letting it go! It is a key part of The Firm's master plan! Get that World Title and we take one huge step closer to holding the winning hand in our war with the UWL! The World Title is power! It gives you great leverage in this sport! And we're gonna use that leverage to force a takeover of the UWL by us! And that takeover...it can be peaceful...or it can be very, very bloody! Once that World Title is property of The Firm, then the entire UWL has to deal with us! And when we control the UWL, Arn Anderson, I'm gonna book you into oblivion, brother."

TD: "Looks like Dusty let the cat out of the bag a little pre-maturely. Yes, he is gonna be my booker when we become the masters of the UWL universe! Careers will dangle by a thread under our reign! I have the greatest confidence in Dusty in this match! He knows what it takes to win the big bouts! He knows what it takes to be a World Champion!

"I want to respond to something I heard Arn say earlier! Arn said that we will wage a withering assault on Roddy Piper until one day we own the UWL World Title! He's got that right! The Firm is gonna keep coming and coming and coming after Piper and that title until he can't stand it anymore! One man can only take so much! We know what we want and we're fighting to get it! The problem for the UWL is they may have some unity, but they don't have the unity The Firm has! And when that day comes and we run the show around here, Arn Anderson's career isn't the only UWL wrestling career that will be wrecked!")

(Video aired from last week of Pres. Watts confronting Greg Valentine about Valentine Pearl Harboring Watts' good friend Steve Williams and breaking Williams' ankle in the figure four and Valentine attacking Watts and trying to break Watts' ankle in the figure four until UWL security saved Watts.)

(In-ring: 'Born In The USA' played over the p.a. system and Pres. Watts came out to a fair response. he had a mic.

Watts was walking carefully on his left ankle and had slight limp as he made his way to the ring.

Watts got into the ring.

BW: "I have some quick announcements I need to make before I call Greg Valentine out here again.

"First, next week here on 'Slam!', Awesome Kong will be wrestling in a handicap match. Plus, Ken Patera will face Ted DiBiase of The Firm. And, we're gonna have a three way dance tag team match. The winner of the match will get the UWL World Tag Team Title match against the champions Hall and Nash at 'Thunderstruck'. The three teams will be: The Nasty Boys. The Anderson brothers. And...Lord Humongous and The Missing Link!"

Crowd cheered at the mention of Lord and Link.

BW: "Also, after what we just witnessed in the handicap match that was supposed to be a six-man tag until Brian Blair was mysteriously injured, I am ordering the six-man tag match that was supposed to happen tonight to take place at 'Thunderstruck'! Now, we don't know if Brian Blair will be able to wrestle in that match yet. If Blair can't go, then Dallas Page and Buzz Sawyer can pick a new partner to take Blair's place! Let's get ready to hook 'em up!"

Modest crowd response.

BW: "I've also got some personal news for Greg Valentine and his manager Gary Hart! You guys get to this ring...NOW!"

After a brief pause, 'All Along The Watchtower' by Hendrix played. Out came Valentine and Hart. Valentine was in casual street attire and Hart was in a suit. The pair were roundly booed. Both had mics. They got in the ring as Watts looked at them with a look of fury.

GV: "President Watts! Did you call me out here to finish the job I started last week until I was so rudely interrupted by UWL security?! I'll be glad to do it! As all the women I've been with can tell you, I'm a finisher!"

BW: "Greg, I wouldn't be bragging about hooking up with women in their double-wides that you met on Craig's List if I were you."

Valentine was suddenly not a happy camper.

Hart: "What's the reason you called us out here for? By the way, how's Steve Williams' ankle doing? Is it healing properly? I heard that Greg mangled it pretty good."

BW: "'Doc' is getting better. He's on track to be healed up in a few weeks as expected. And when he does come back, Valentine, you're in serious trouble, mister. I know Steve; and I would not want to be Greg Valentine when he returns."

GV: "Whatever. If Williams comes back I'll be wrestling a gimp! That ankle will never be the same because it was hammer-ized!"

BW: "Let me tell you two a little story about Steve Williams. One day, Steve had to wrestle on two different shows. During his match in the matinee show, he was busted open so badly that he needed 108 stitches to close the wound. For most guys, they wouldn't have worked for a long time after that. But Steve Williams isn't most guys. With 108 stitches holding him together, he wrestled his match that evening on the second show. Steve Williams is the personification of tough. And he will be back. You can say what you want, Valentine, but if Steve has to crawl on broken glass and rusty nails just to get his hands on you then he'll do it!"

GV: "Wonderful story, Watts. Why are we out here? Just so you could tell us that Steve Williams sob story?"

BW: "No."

Hart: "Let me guess. You called us out here to announce another fine for Mr. Valentine. How much is it this time?"

BW: "I'm not fining Valentine for what he did to me last week. But, if it wasn't for a great job by the UWL security team, I'd have a broken ankle also."

GV: "I could break it right now if you'd like. Then you and your pal Williams could form a tag team called The Gimps!"

BW: "I'm not fining you, Greg, because I've got another plan in mind for us. At 'Thunderstruck', I'm gonna be fighting for my good friend Steve Williams! Valentine, you and me are having a match! And you'd better pray that I don't lock you in the figure four because if I do, it might just be you who's leaving the ring with a broken ankle!"

GV: "Watts, that's music to my ears! I'm gonna thoroughly enjoy hurting you real bad! And it will all be sanctioned by the UWL Match-Making Committee! That means no fines, no suspensions! I'm gonna tear you up and it will all be offical!"

Valentine and Watts glared at each other momentarily and then Hart and Valentine left the ring as Watts looked on.)

Match 9 (Tournament Final - Winner gets the UWL World Title shot at 'Thunderstruck')

Arn Anderson vs. Dusty Rhodes (w/ DiBiase)

(Announcers said they will stay with the match to its conclusion.

'The Fight' played over the p.a. system and Arn came to the ring to a strong ovation.

'La Grange' played and Dusty and DiBiase came to the ring. Dusty was only in his tights and boots again and DiBiase was not wearing his suit jacket. Usual mixed crowd reaction for The Firm.

Ref called for the bell.

Arn and Dusty came out of their corners. Dusty raised his elbow like he was going to bionic elbow Arn in the head and Arn stepped back. The two then circled one another again and engaged in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Dusty was able to maneuver around in the hold and catch Arn in a hammerlock. Arn looked for ways to escape but couldn't. Dusty tightened up on the hold. Arn was then able to pull off a reversal and locked Dusty up in a hammerlock. Arn now cinched up on the hold and Dusty was hurting. Arn kept the hold locked in as Dusty was able to make it next to the ropes and drape his arm over the top rope to force a break in the hold. Arn backed off. Dusty all back in the ring. Arn came at Dusty and Dusty once again draped his arm over the top rope to force Arn to back off. Dusty slowly started to pull his arm from over the rope back into the ring. Arn came over and Dusty feigned draping his arm out over the top rope again causing Arn to hesitate and then kicked Arn in the gut. Dusty pounded away with forearms to the back and then nailed Arn with a couple of punches and then whipped Arn into the ropes and caught Arn coming off with a clothesline. Arn went down. Dusty ran and hit the ropes and came off with a running elbow smash on Arn. Dusty for the cover. 1... Arn kicked out. Dusty then popped the downed Arn in the head with a few more punches and then snapped Arn up, whipped Arn into the ropes and looked to catch Arn coming off with an elbow to the chest but Arn ducked the move and came back and nailed Dusty with a flying lariat. Dusty went down. Dusty got up and Arn grabbed Dusty, whipped Dusty into the rops and caught Dusty coming off with a backdrop. Dusty rolled out of the ring and dropped to his feet on the floor. Arn went out on the apron and jumped off and looked to nail Dusty with a double sledge to the head but Dusty moved and grabbed Arn and sent Arn crashing into the ringside barricade. Arn down next to the barricade. Dusty put the boots to Arn. As Arn got to his feet, Dusty climbed up on the apron. Just as Arn got up, Dusty came off the apron and nailed Arn with a double sledge to the head of his own. Arn crashed back against the barricade but was still on his feet.

Dusty grabbed Arn around the waist and rammed him hard back fist into the barricade. Arn went down to his knees. Dusty got back in the ring to break the ref's 20-count. Dusty distracted the ref by arguing with him (you'd think the ref would have learned by now). This gave DiBiase the chance to grab Arn and slam Arn's head into the ring post. Arn staggered off and went down. Dusty stopped arguing with the ref and left the ring and grabbed Arn and threw him back into the ring. Dusty got back in the ring and reached down to grab Arn but Arn stunned Dusty by catching Dusty in a small package. 1...2... Dusty kicked out. Dusty got up at the same time as Arn and Dusty drove a knee into Arn's gut and then slammed Arn's head into the top buckle. Dusty then walked Arn over and slammed Arn's head into the next top buckle. Dusty repeated the move on the third top buckle and then slammed Arn's head into the fourth top buckle. Arn spun around in the corner and was not in a good way. Dusty then nailed Arn with some jabs to the jaw. Dusty went to whip Arn into the opposite buckles but Arn reversed and whipped Dusty into the buckles he just came out of. Arn whipped Dusty into the same buckles three more times. Dusty in the corner. Arn then mounted the middle buckle and hammered away on Dusty with series of head shots. Arn dropped to his feet and Dusty staggered out of the corner and dropped to a knee. Arn charged at Dusty and caught Dusty with a kick to the side of the face. Dusty toppled over near the ropes. Arn for the cover and hooked the leg. 1...2... Dusty reached out and managed to get a hand on the bottom rope forcing a break. Arn whipped Dusty into the ropes and looked to catch Dusty coming off with a clothesline but Dusty ducked the move and came back and caught Arn with a flying crossbody. Dusty for the cover. 1...2... Arn kicked out.

Dusty got up and grabbed Arn and started pulling him up when Arn caught Dusty with a couple of gut punches that briefly stunned Rhodes and Rhodes stepped back. Arn moved in on Dusty and Dusty caught Arn with a kick that appeared a little low and then Dusty blasted away on Arn with a series of bionic elbows to the top of the head. Arn staggered. Dusty then nailed Arn with a double sledge to the side of the face. Arn went down. Dusty for the cover. 1...2...2-1/2... Arn kicked out. Dusty then whipped Arn into the ropes and bent down and looked to catch Arn coming off with a backdrop but Arn instead stunned Dusty with a DDT. Both men down. Arn crawled over and covered Dusty. 1...2...2-3/4... Dusty kicked out. Crowd groaned. Arn grabbed Dusty and whipped Dusty into the buckles and followed Dusty in with a rapid-fire series of shoulder blocks to the mid-section. Dusty hurting. Arn then repaid Dusty for the earlier turnbuckle tour by walking Dusty around the ring and slamming Dusty's head into all four top buckles. Dusty staggered out of the corner next to the ropes and Arn popped Dusty with a couple of quick head shots and then backed up and charged at Dusty and Dusty bent down and backdropped Arn over the top rope down to the floor. Dusty shook out the effects of Arn's assault and then went to go after him on the floor but the ref stopped Dusty and ordered him to stand back. Ref started the 20-count as Arn stirred on the floor. Dusty went to go after Arn once more but the ref stopped him again and the ref started pushing Dusty back and ordered Dusty to stay back. Dusty grabbed the ref by the sleeve and was arguing with him. Ref ordered Dusty to let go. The two were arguing. Just as Arn got to his feet on the floor, DiBiase came over and was going to attack Arn but Arn looked and saw DiBiase coming and Arn stunned DiBiase with a spinebuster on the floor. DiBiase down. Crowd went nuts as Arn looked out at them. Announcers pointed out that Arn had spinebusted DiBiase twice tonight.

Arn then got on the ring apron as Dusty came over. Arn leaned through the top and middle rope and hit Dusty with a couple of shoulder blocks to the mid-section. Dusty backed up and was doubled over. Arn got into the ring and started to grab Dusty by the sides of the head when Dusty suddenly shot straight up and the top of Dusty's head slammed into Arn's jaw. Both men went down and Dusty was holding the top of head and Arn was holding his jaw over near the ropes. Ref was looking at both men. DiBiase recovered enough on the floor to brandish his fingerless black glove from his pants pocket. Arn grabbed the ropes as the ref looked at the still downed Dusty. Arn had has head leaned out between the top and middle rope...WHAM!...DiBiase blasted Arn with a black glove-laden punch behind the ref's back. Arn fell back into the ring and was grabbing the top of his head in great pain. Dusty grabbed the top rope and slowly pulled himself to his feet. DiBiase had put the incriminating evidence back into his pocket. DiBiase was grabbing at his back as he still felt the effects of the earlier spinebuster. Rhodes went over and grabbed the still downed Arn. Dusty hoisted Arn up and blasted Arn with the 'Stardust Driver' (aka, inverted piledriver). Dusty covered Arn and didn't hook the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell. More boos than cheers for Dusty.

Dusty got to his feet and the ref raised Dusty's hand in victory as a tired Dusty got a thin smile on his face. As the ref checked on Arn, Dusty left the ring and met DiBiase at ringside. Ted, still favoring his back, grimaced as he raised Dusty's hand in victory to more boos and some garbage thrown in the dastadly pairs direction.

WINNER: Rhodes - Pinfall - 'Stardust Driver' - 12:39)

(Announcers quickly hyped DiBiase vs. Patera for next week's program as the show went off the air.)

UWL 'SLAM!' WRESTLING - EP. 123 - CASPER, WY - CASPER EVENTS CENTER - 5-28-13 (Live)

(Show Intro)

(Crowd Shots/Pyro)

(Announcers Steve Stack and Joe Pedicino welcomed viewers and then ran down the program: Ken Patera vs. Firm Director Ted DiBiase; an interview with UWL World Champion Roddy Piper; Triple Threat #1 Contender's Match - Winner gets the World Tag Team Title shot at 'Thunderstruck': The Nasty Boys vs. The Anderson Bros. vs. Lord Humongous & The Missing Link; JJ Dillon and Wahoo McDaniel are here; Handicap Match: Awesome Kong vs. Mad Maxine & Ashley Cartier; DDP and Buzz Sawyer make an appearance and announce if Blair can wrestle at 'Thunderstruck' in the six-man tag or if they'll have to select a substitute partner; Rip Oliver vs. Lex Luger; Non-Title: Rick Steiner (PC) vs. David Schultz; another 'Thunderstruck' PPV Update; and more!)

(In-ring: The Firm made their way to the ring to the strains of 'Money' by Pink Floyd. Usual mixed crowd reaction.

DiBiase was in a ring jacket, tights and boots. Schultz was in his ring attire and the rest of the group was wearing street clothes. Hall and Nash had the tag belts slung over their shoulders. Once in the ring, the group soaked in the crowd reaction. DiBiase, Nash and Rhodes all had mics.

Nash: "Tonight, Scott Hall and 'Big Sexy' find out who will be their opponents at 'Thunderstruck'! Who will it be?! Will it be the Anderson brothers?! Will it be The Nasty Boys?! Or will it be...Lord Humongous and The Missing link?!"

Crowd cheered the mention of Lord and Link.

Nash: "It doesn't matter who it is! We'll take care of 'em! We're not letting go of these titles! But, I have to admit, that I'm hoping Lord Humongous and Missing Link win! Those guys are a real problem as far as The Firm is concerned! They're the team that really pisses us off! We beat them and it's another team that we can toss out of the title picture and send a message to! And that message is that it's bad to mess with us! Those two ogres need to have some common sense beaten into them! And Hall and Nash are the guys who can do it!"

Hall took the mic.

Hall: "I couldn't agree more, Big Kev! Even though we'll run roughshod over the team we have to face no matter who it is, Lord Humongous and The Missing Link deserve to feel our wrath more than any other team out there! I wonder if they even know that when they messed with us they were signing a warrant to have their asses kicked! Could you imagine Link and Humongous as the champions?! There would probably be bites taken out of these belts if they got them! Do they even know what these titles mean?! They mean you're the best tag team on the entire planet! You people don't want a couple of belt eaters to be the champs, do you?! We want them in a match to drive home the point once and for all that you don't screw with The Firm! They'd be much better off if they just went back to the cave they emerged from during some cataclysmic event thousands of years ago and light fires by rubbing two sticks together and drawing stupid looking wall art! If those guys became the champs it would set tag team wrestling back millions, if not billions of years, man!"

Rude took the mic.

Rude: "You know, I don't have an opponent for 'Thunderstruck'! But there's one guy I'd like to get my hands on in the ring! And that's the man who was the first man Ted DiBiase signed up to be part of his elite organization! He started out real good for us! But over time he showed he just didn't have what it took to be a member of The Firm! That man is Ken Patera! How about it Ken?! You and the 'Ravishing One' in Seattle on June 9th?! After you lose to Ted DiBiase tonight, you can lose to another member of The Firm at 'Thunderstruck'!"

Adonis got on the mic.

Adonis: "Lex Luger! We're just 12 days away from our little fight at 'Thunderstruck'! I can't wait! I want the next 12 days to fly by! Because I'm gonna tear those pretty boy looks and that muscleman body of yours apart and I'm gonna show everyone that my ring smarts and ring skills trump your power wrestling! Luger! You're gonna feel what it's like to be in a fight in Hell's Kitchen and you're not gonna like it one bit! The New York tough guy vs. the Florida pretty boy! You all need to pony up the money for the pay-per-view to see just how ugly it's gonna get for Mr. Luger!"

Schultz took the mic.

Schultz: "I've got a match with President's Champion Rick Steiner tonight! However, it's non-title! Rick, I know you're litening to this, boy! Why don't we make this match a little more interesting?! Let's make our match...no disqualification! Anything goes, son! The rules go right out the window! And, to make things even more interesting than that, if I beat you tonight, I get a President's Championship match at 'Thunderstruck'?! What do you say, Ricky?! You man enough to do that?!"

Rhodes: "Arn Anderson. In the biggest match we've ever had with each other...'Stardust' prevailed. I knew it was gonna happen. You see, it is the destiny of The Firm to win the UWL World Title! That is the title of titles; the belt of belts! I wasn't gonna be denied! And now, I've got Roddy Piper for all the marbles at 'Thunderstruck'! Piper! You've successfully defended the big gold against two members of The Firm already! But look around! There's seven of us and only one of you! You are now facing a non-stop assault from us! We're coming at you from every direction imaginable! You can only stave off the inevitable for so long! And I'm gonna make a prediction right now! Dusty Rhodes becomes the new UWL World Champion in 12 days! Schultz and Rude wore you down! Now it's time for someone to take advantage of you in a weakened state! We don't care how we have to get the title! We want that title in The Firm's control because the World Title is power! It forces the UWL to have to play ball with us! And The Firm only plays hardball! But even after I beat you and become the new World Champion, The Firm will not stop it's all-out assault on you! Piper, you are the UWL's franchise player! You're the man! So not only are you gonna lose the World Title to The Firm; you're also gonna be toppled from your position as the UWL's top star! And then there will be a void that needs to be filled! And you're looking at the men who will fill it!"

Ted: "Dusty! I am counting on you at 'Thunderstruck'! That belt has to become the property of The Firm! I know that you're a man who can back up what he says! I'm holding you to your promise, Dusty!"

Rhodes: "You'll have your belt, Director DiBiase."

Ted: "That's what I wanted to hear. But I want to focus on tonight right now.

"Poor Ken Patera! He's such a bitter man! He couldn't cut it as a member of The Firm and last week he lost to Dusty Rhodes in the tournament to see who would get the World Title shot at 'Thunderstruck'! Patera then went and begged for this match tonight between he and I! You got your wish, Ken! But you know that they say?! Be careful of what you wish for! Hahahaha! You're one of the leaders for the UWL in their war with us! And just like last week, you'll suffer another personal blow at my hands this week! Patera! You're facing the Director of The Firm! I'm the man who signed you and I'm the man who ordered you booted from the group because you couldn't hack it! This match will be one of the biggest setbacks for the UWL side so far! You want to beat me, Ken! You want to destroy me! But I'm not gonna let that happen!"

Crowd popped as Arn Anderson walked out on the entrance stage in street clothes with mic in hand.

Arn: "Ted, your man Dusty may have won the tournament last week; but you're the man who won it for him."

Ted: "What?!"

Arn: "Here's something to refresh your memory."

Video aired from last week of DiBiase blasting Arn while wearing his fingerless black glove and knocking Arn senseless and making Arn easy prey for Dusty to finish off.

Arn: "What's done is done, Ted. I'm not getting that World Title shot now. And it's all thanks to you."

Ted: "You're welcome, Arn. Is there anything else I can do for you?"

Arn: "I'm glad you asked. There is indeed something else you can do for me, Ted?"

Ted: "And what would that be?"

Arn reached into his back pocket and brandished a folded up, stapled set of papers.

Arn: "I've been talking with President Watts. This is a contract. My signature's already on it. Now, all you have to do is sign it and we've got a match with each other at 'Thunderstruck'."

Crowd cheered.

Ted: "Arn, I don't know why you want to keep torturing yourself by tangling with The Firm. It seems to turn out bad for you so often. But, when I get backstage I'll sign the contract. And when all is said and done, you're gonna be the man who wished he'd never signed it! Hahahaha!"

'Money' started to play when ring announcer Lee Marshall got up on the apron with mic in hand.

LM: "Before The Firm leaves the ring, I've just gotten word that President Watts has agreed to the stipulation for the Schultz-Steiner match that if Schultz beats Steiner in the non-title affair then Schultz will get a President's Championship shot at 'Thunderstruck'. However, he said the match will not be no disqualification. And, Ken Patera has agreed to face Rick Rude at 'Thunderstruck' as well."

'Money' started to play again and The Firm left the ring to the usual mixed crowd reaction.)

(Announcers discussed The Firm talk segment and Watts making Rude vs. Patera for 'Thunderstruck' and adding the stip that if Schultz beats President's Champion Steiner in their non-title match tonight then Schultz will wrestle Steiner for the belt at 'Thunderstruck'. Said the Handicap Match: Awesome Kong vs. Mad Maxine & Ashley Cartier was next!)

(Video aired from last week of Kong destroying Luna in a match and Madusa coming out and attacking Kong and Kong laying Madusa out.)

Match 1 (Handicap Match)

Awesome Kong (w/ Slick) vs. Mad Maxine & Ashley Cartier

(Cartier and Maxine came to the ring to a modest ovation.

'Cry Of The Vatos' by Oingo Boingo played over the p.a. system and Kong and Slick came to the ring to fairly strong boos. Slick was in a suit and wearing his trademark fedora.

Announcers pointed out that Maxine and Cartier had to tag out to each other.

Kong started off the match dominating Cartier. Kong could have ended the match quickly, but instead threw Cartier back into her corner. Cartier tagged in Maxine. The larger Maxine gave Kong more of a battle but Kong then took control and was able to hoist 6'+ Maxine in the air and blast her with the implant buster (aka, lifting double underhook facebuster). Kong covered Maxine and didn't even bother to hook the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell.

WINNER: Kong - Pinfall - Kong pinned Cartier with the Implant Buster - 3:49)

(After the match: After the ref raised Kong's hand in victory, Kong turned to leave the ring as Cartier got in the ring to check on Maxine. Slick pointed and ordered Kong to take out Cartier as well. Cartier was knelt down beside Maxine as Kong came up behind Cartier and pulled Cartier to her feet by her hair. Cartier screaming. Kong chokeslammed Cartier. Kong then picked up Cartier and blasted Cartier with the implant buster. Slick was cheering her on from the floor. Crowd popped as Madusa, in street clothes and carrying the Women's Title, came charging to the ring. Madusa got in the ring and came up behind Kong and bashed Kong across the back fo the head with the title. Belt shot stunned Kong. Madusa tossed the title aside as Kong spun around and Madusa started firing away on Kong with punches. Kong fought back and the women were brawling in the ring. UWL security hit the ring and, after a brief struggle, was able to separate the two. One UWL security member held Madusa as Madusa was swinging and kicking at the air in an attempt to get free. Slick was also in the ring and keeping Kong back. Madusa broke free from the security member's grasp and she jumped on and started hitting...Slick. Crowd popped as Slick covered up. Security restrained Kong and was able to pull Madusa off Slick. Security finally got Madusa out of the ring and were leading her back up the aisle. Slick got a hold of the Women's World Title and the r.a. mic.

Slick: "Madusa! You forgot something, ba-by!"

Slick held the title up. Madusa looked back and saw it and tried to break through security and get to the ring and get the belt but she was restrained.

Slick: "Hey! I got an idea! I'll just give the title to Awesome Kong since she's gonna be the next UWL Women's World Champion anyway!"

Slick handed the title to Kong and Kong held it up with one hand as a furious Madusa looked on from the aisle. Madusa couldn't get past security to try and get the belt.

Slick: "I give y'all the NEW Women's World Champion...Awesome Kong!"

Slick raised Kong's hand in victory as a riled up Madusa could only look on before being hustled to the back by security.)

(Announcers discussed Kong winning the handicap match and another physical confrontation between her and Madusa. Hyped still to come: Ken Patera vs. Firm Director Ted DiBiase; an interview with UWL World Champion Roddy Piper; Triple Threat #1 Contender's Match - Winner gets the World Tag Team Title shot at 'Thundertstruck': The Nasty Boys vs. The Anderson Bros. vs. Lord Humongous & The Missing Link; JJ Dillon and Wahoo McDaniel are here; Rip Oliver vs. Lex Luger; Non-Title: Rick Steiner (PC) vs. David Schultz; another 'Thunderstruck' PPV Update; and more! Said DDP and Buzz Sawyer make an appearance and announce if Blair can wrestle at 'Thunderstruck' in the six-man tag or if they'll have to select a substitute partner next!)

(Video aired for the 'Deja Vu Presents: Thunderstruck' PPV - Sunday - June 9 - Seattle, WA - Key Arena - 8pm E/5pm P - Tickets on sale NOW!)

(Video aired from last week where DDP and Buzz Sawyer came to the ring for their 6-man tag against Father Dutch, Grog and The Sacred Anvil and DDP announcing that their partner, Brian Blair, had been mysteriously assaulted in the back in an attack that was seen by no one and DDP and Buzz wrestling a handicap match against Father Dutch and his congregants and Saced Anvil pinning DDP thanks to outside interference by Father Dutch.)

(In-ring: Music-only version of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' played over the p.a. system and out came DDP and Buzz Sawyer. They were in street clothes and DDP had a mic. They got a good ovation. When they got to the bottom of the ramp, DDP made the Diamond sign and did the 'Bang!' gesture as pyro went off on the entrance stage. On the way to the ring, Buzz barked and slapped hands with fans. DDP also did the hand slapping.

Once in the ring, Buzz ran around barking and the crowd barked back and DDP stood on the middle buckle and made the Diamond sign again and briefly played to the crowd before getting down to business.

DDP: "I have an update on the status of Brian Blair. As you know, Brian should be standing out here with me and Buzz. But, thanks to a mysterious attack backstage last week, Brian's lower back was injured. Brian visited a couple of specialists over the last few days and they both came to the same conclusion. Brian's injury is bad enough that he's gonna be on the shelf for a while. Now, for what I have to say next, I was really hoping that Father Dutch and his congregants could come to the ring."

After a brief pause, Father Dutch, The Sacred Anvil & Grog came to the ring. Father Dutch was in his priest's attire. The Sacred Anvil was in his Mormon missionary-style attire. Grog was in his silver and black mask and silver and black tights with silver crosses on the outside of each leg. Dutch and Anvil had mics. The trio got into the ring. They received a decent amount of boos.

FD: "So, Dallas. Did you call us out here because you are going to repent of your sinful ways and give your life over to me and become a member of my congregation?"

DDP: "That'll never happen in a million years, Father Dutch. If self-righteous twits like you are gonna be the ones occupying the kingdom, then I hope I'm sent in the other direction to live for eternity."

FD: "Don't mock the faith, boy. You will either be greatly rewarded or severely punished in the afterlife. And the way you're going right now, you're gonna suffer harsh punishment unless you renounce your wicked ways and let me guide you down the path of righteousness. Follow me, Dallas. Follow me."

DDP: "I didn't come out here to talk religion with you, Father Dutch. But this is a holy war. And Buzz Sawyer is one of my Crusaders against you. And guess what? The newest Crusader is here tonight. He will be our partner in the six-man tag match at 'Thunderstruck'. New Crusader! Come on down!"

'The Bird' by Morris Day and the Time played over the p.a. system. Crowd popped as out on the entrance stage walked Koko B. Ware in street clothes. Koko made his way to the ring and slapped hands along the way. He had a mic. Koko got up on the apron and started flapping his arms like a bird and fans responded in kind. Koko got in the ring.

Koko: "Crusader Koko B. Ware is reporting for duty, Crusader Dallas!"

The two shook hands and then Koko repeated the gesture with Buzz.

FD: "Koko B. Ware. The 'Birdman'. You know, the most famous 'Birdman' in history was a prisoner at Alcatraz. Was that you, Koko? Were you that 'Birdman'?"

Koko: "Father Dutch, are you trying to imply because I'm a black man that I'm a criminal?"

FD: "If the race fits, son... Actually, it's nice to see that a little color is going to be added to our match at 'Thunderstruck'."

Anvil: "Pardon me, Father Dutch. I think you mean a 'little colored'. A little colored is being added to the match. Hahahaha!"

Koko moved towards Father Dutch and his congregants and DDP restrained Koko.

DDP: "They're just playing mind games with you, Koko! Don't fall into their trap! That's just what they want you to do! You guys had just better pray that we show you some mercy at 'Thunderstruck', man!"

Koko: "Father Dutch! The Big Man in the Sky may be forgiving...but I ain't! In 12 days, I'm gonna personally minister to you in a way that you ain't gonna like!"

FD: "I don't see how you're gonna be able to 'minister' to me in the way you're threatening to."

Koko: "And why is that?!"

FD: "Because when throw a punch your lips will get in the way..."

Koko went to go after Father Dutch but DDP and Buzz now held him back.

DDP: "Father Dutch! You've really crossed a line! Prepare to have a can of righteous whoop-ass opened on you and your mindless followers at 'Thunderstruck'!"

The two sides stared each other down as the segment ended.)

(Announcers discussed the controversial confrontation between Father Dutch and his congregants and DDP, Buzz Sawyer and their new partner Koko B. Ware. Hyped still to come: Ken Patera vs. Firm Director Ted DiBiase; an interview with UWL World Champion Roddy Piper; Triple Threat #1 Contender's Match - Winner gets the World Tag Team Title shot at 'Thundertstruck': The Nasty Boys vs. The Anderson Bros. vs. Lord Humongous & The Missing Link; JJ Dillon and Wahoo McDaniel are here; Rip Oliver vs. Lex Luger; Non-Title: Rick Steiner (PC) vs. David Schultz; another 'Thunderstruck' PPV Update; and more! Said Rip Oliver vs. Lex Luger was coming up!)

(Backstage: Pres. Watts was standing in the hall and reading something on a clipboard. Rick Steiner walked up to him.

Rick: "President Watts, can I talk to you for a minute."

BW: "Sure."

Rick: "You allowed my match with David Schultz tonight to be a match where if Schultz wins he gets a President's Championship shot at 'Thunderstruck'. But you're not allowing it to be a no disqualification match."

BW: "That's right. I just don't think it needs to be no disqualification."

Rick: "David Schultz is a member of The Firm. We're at war with The Firm. This needs to be a match where I can fight this guy tooth-and-claw. Like Roddy Piper said a couple of weeks ago, we need to attack these guys head on. A no disqualification match would serve that purpose. We need to fight The Firm at their own game. It will be survival of the fittest, which is what war is all about. It shows we UWL wrestlers mean business."

BW: "Since you put it that way, Rick, I'm gonna go ahead and make this a no disqualification match. Just make sure you have some guys watching your back because you know how The Firm likes to operate."

Rick: "I'll leave the doggie door open for the UWL boys just in case! Woof! Woof! Woof!")

Match 2

Rip Oliver vs. Lex Luger

(As Oliver came to the ring to boos, video aired from two weeks ago where Rip triggered his re-match clause for a TV Title match against Hugh Morrus and Rip also challenging Hugh to add the stip that the loser must leave the UWL and Hugh accepting and Watts coming out and making the match official for 'Thunderstruck'.

Luger came to the ring to a solid ovation and slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring.

Short match and neither man could gain a firm advantage during it.

At the end of the match, Rip had just gained the advantage. After nailing Luger with some punches, Rip whipped Luger into the ropes and looked to catch Lex coming off with a clothesline but Luger ducked the move and came back and dropped Rip with a forearm smash to the head. Adonis, in his ring gear, hit the ring. Luger turned and saw Adonis and caught Adonis with a powerslam. Crowd popped. Luger signaled he was going to rack Adonis. Oliver recovered and came up behind Luger and hit Luger with a sitout rear mat slam. Oliver assumed the position to superkick Luger. This brought out Hugh Morrus, also in his ring gear but minus the belt. Hugh hit the ring, spun Rip around, nailed Rip with some punches, whipped Rip into the ropes and caught Rip coming off with his flying headbutt to the chest. Rip crashed to the mat near the ropes and rolled out of the ring and dropped to the floor. Ref called for the bell. Adonis had recovered enough to also escape from the ring to the floor. Luger had recovered and got to his feet and he and Hugh stood tall in the ring as the fans cheered.

DECISION: Match thrown out - 4:05)

(Announcers talked about Adonis and Morrus getting involved in the Oliver-Luger match.

(Video aired showing clips from the last two weeks of Harley telling JJ he has to pick who he wants to manage, himself or Wahoo and JJ not rendering a decision; JJ costing Harley his match with Ken Patera later that night when JJ intentionally low-blowed Harley while Wahoo distracted the ref; and Harley getting revenge last week by coming out and low-blowing JJ while JJ was out managing Wahoo during Wahoo's tournament match with Rick Steiner. Race paid Wahoo back by distracting Wahoo which allowed Steiner to score the victory in the match.)

(In-ring: JJ and Wahoo came to the ring. Wahoo was in street clothes and JJ was in a suit. Both had mics. They were strongly booed.

JJ: "In case it hasn't become abundantly clear, Halrey Race is no longer a member of JJ Dillon Enterprises. Now, Harley Race is a hunted man by JJ Dillon Enterprises. Harley! Last week, you made two big mistakes! First, you attacked me in a completely unprovoked fashion! And, your attack on me distracted Wahoo in his tournament match and cost Wahoo a chance at getting another shot at Roddy Piper for the UWL World Title!

"You were never grateful for what I did for you, Harley! I made you a three-time President's Champion! I made you a World Tag Team Champion! But the only thing you had been doing recently was complaining! You whined because I was focusing my energies on guiding Wahoo to a second UWL World Title reign! And he would be the World Champion right now if you hadn't screwed up so bad and did what you were supposed to do at 'Spring Mayhem'! Sometimes, Harley, you can't always be in the spotlight! You needed to set that big ego of yours aside and be a team player! But you couldn't do it! You couldn't handle having to step back and let Wahoo have his moment! Oh no! Instead, you decided to offer me...me...an ultimatum! I could manage you or I could manage Wahoo; I couldn't manage both! How dare you try and tell me how to manage! In case you've forgotten, Harley, I am the manager of champions in the UWL! And you think you can put me on the spot and challenge my authority?!

"In your match with Ken Patera two weeks ago, you had to be taught that you never put the manager of champions on the spot! So I, along with Wahoo, devised a plan to cost you that match! And it worked to perfection! But you just couldn't accept it as a hard lesson learned! You had to attack me last week and destroy Wahoo's World Title chances in the process! That was the final straw! As I laid on the ground holding my nuts after you low-blowed me, I made the decision right then and there that you would never work for me again! The split is now official and the damage you have caused to our relationship, Harley, is now irreversible! You are a..."

Fair positive crowd reaction as Race, in street clothes, came out on the entrance stage. He had a mic. Race walked to the ring and got in. Wahoo glaring at Race.

HR: "First of all, JJ, you need to shut up!"

Crowd cheered.

HR: "This was never about me stepping back and letting Wahoo have the limelight as he chased Roddy Piper for the UWL World Title! That's not a problem for me! I understood the aims and goals of JJ Dillon Enterprises! But, you went out of your way to humiliate me! I've had a great career! These fans know that! 8-Time World Champion! That says it all! Yet, you have me carrying yours and Wahoo's bags into the arena and the hotel! You have me shine your shoes! You treat me like I'm some jabroni at the bottom of the card! Every man has his breaking point, JJ! And when I made that ultimatum that you either manage Wahoo or me but not both of us, that was the beginning of the end of our relationship! You made it quite clear later that night when you two conspired to cost me my match against Ken Patera, a match that if I would have won would have put me in last week's tournament for the World Title shot at 'Thunderstruck'! Last week, I got a little payback!"

WM: "What you did last week, Harley, was cost me something that should have been mine! I should be the man facing Roddy Piper for the World Title at 'Thunderstruck'! Once again, Harley Race screws things up for me! This is unacceptable! Forget the World Title right now! Harley, you and me, we've got some personal business of our own to settle in this ring! I want you in a match at 'Thunderstruck'!"

HR: "I couldn't agree more! Getting you in the ring will..."

Ring Announcer Lee Marshall, standing on the floor, interrupted Race.

LM: "Excuse me, Harley! I have just gotten word that President Watts has said this match will take place at 'Thunderstruck'!"

WM: "Harley! Prepare to be taught a lesson in respect on June 9th!

HR: "Wahoo! You need to prepare for an old school ass-whipping! And after I finish with you, I'm gonna unleash my fury on him!" (Race pointed at JJ.)

JJ backed up and Wahoo stepped in front of him and Wahoo got in Harley's face as the two men had a nose-to-nose staredown as the segment ended.)

(Announcers discussed Race confronting Wahoo and JJ and the Race-Wahoo match being made for 'Thunderstruck'. Hyped still to come: Ken Patera vs. Firm Director Ted DiBiase; an interview with UWL World Champion Roddy Piper; Triple Threat #1 Contender's Match - Winner gets the World Tag Team Title shot at 'Thundertstruck': The Nasty Boys vs. The Anderson Bros. vs. Lord Humongous & The Missing Link; another 'Thunderstruck' PPV Update; and more!

Steiner then grabbed Schultz around the waist and rammed Schultz back-first into the ringside barricade. Steiner then backed up and charged at Schultz but Schultz moved and Steiner crashed into the ringside barricade.

Schultz came up behind Rick and bashed Rick three times across the back with the chair. Steiner turned around and Schultz nailed Steiner in the head with the chair. Steiner went down. Schultz then drove the end of the chair into Steiner's throat. Nothing the ref could do. Schultz tossed the chair, grabbed Steiner and threw Steiner back into the ring. Schultz grabbed the chair and climbed up on the apron and then started climbing up to the top buckle as Steiner was getting to his feet. Schultz came off the top rope and attempted to hit Steiner in the head with the chair but Steiner instead caught Schultz with a gut shot. Schultz held on to the chair. Steiner on his feet but hurting. This gave Schultz a few precious seconds to recover and Schultz raised the chair and went to hit Steiner with it again but Steiner kicked the chair into Schultz's face. Schultz staggered backwards, dropped the chair and crashed to the mat. Ref tossed the chair to the floor. Steiner yanked Schultz up and slammed Schultz's head into the top buckle. Schultz turned around in the corner and Steiner laid into him with a series of head and body punches and then blasted Schultz with a running bulldog.

Schultz came off the top rope and nailed Steiner with an elbow smash to the head. Steiner went down. Schultz covered Steiner and held the tights for the pin try. 1...2...2-3/4... Steiner kicked out.

Rude charged down to ringside and picked up the chair that had been used earlier in the bout. Rude climbed into the ring with the chair and was preparing to hit the distracted Steiner with it when the crowd popped as Ken Patera, in his ring attire, hit the ring and tackled Rude to the mat.

As Steiner turned to go back to Schultz, Nash reached in the ring and pulled Steiner's legs out from under him. Steiner went down but got back up quickly as Nash climbed up on the apron. Ref distracted by Steiner and Nash. Steiner went over and had more words with Nash as Scott Hall hit the ring. Hall picked up the chair. Nash went to hit Steiner but Steiner blocked the punch and nailed Nash with a trio of punches. Nash was holding onto the top rope but the third head shot caused Nash to lose his grip on the rope and crash to the floor. Steiner turned around...WHAM!...Hall clocked Steiner over the head with the chair. Steiner crashed to the mat. Ref saw it but their was nothing he could do. Schultz, now recovered, high-fived Hall, then Schultz grabbed Steiner and blasted Steiner with the Redneck Death Drop (aka, Scorpion Death Drop). Schultz covered Steiner and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell. Ref raised Schultz's hand in victory.

WINNER: Schultz - Pinfall - Redneck Death Drop - 12:13)

(After the match: The Firm trio wasn't finished. Hall went out on the floor and pulled a table out from under the ring and slid it in the ring. Schultz stomped on the downed Steiner. Ref tried to get the trio out of the ring, but Schultz turned and dropped the ref with a punch. Nash recovered and got back in the ring as Schultz and Hall set up the table in the middle of the ring. Hall gestured for Nash to powerbomb Steiner through the table. Schultz and Hall looked on as Nash methodically went over and grabbed Steiner and was preparing to powerbomb Steiner through the table, the crowd exploded as Lord Humongous and The Missing Link charged to the ring. As soon as they hit the ring, Nash let go of Steiner and he, Hall and Schultz bailed to the floor before Lord and Link could get their hands on them.

Lord and Link looked down at Hall, Nash and Schultz as other UWL ref's came to the ring to try and restore some order. Hall, Nash and Schultz made their way back up the aisle as some garbage flew in their direction as Schultz defiantly raised his arms victoriously in the air during the walk back.)

(Announcers discussed Schultz winning the No DQ match over President's Champ Steiner and earning a President's Championship shot at 'Thunderstruck'.)

(Announcers intro'd video from last week of Pres. Watts confronting Greg Valentine about Valentine attacking Watts two weeks ago.

VIDEO (edited):

BW: "I've also got some personal news for Greg Valentine and his manager gary Hart! You guys get to this ring...NOW!"

After a brief pause, 'All Along The Watchtower' by Hendrix played. Out came Valentine and Hart. Valentine was in casual street attire and Hart was in a suit. The pair was roundly booed. Both had mics. They got in the ring as Watts looked at them with a look of fury.

Hart: "What's the reason you called us out here for? By the way, how's Steve Williams' ankle doing? Is it healing properly? I heard that Greg had mangled it pretty good."

BW: "'Doc' is getting better. He's on track to be healed up in a few weeks as expected. And when he does come back, Valentine, you're in serious trouble, mister. I know Steve; and I would not want to be Greg Valentine when he returns."

GV: "Whatever. If Williams comes back I'll be wrestling a gimp! That ankle will never be the same because it was hammer-ized!"

BW: "I'm not fining Valentine for what he did to me last week. But, if it wasn't for a great job by the UWL security team, I'd have a broken ankle also."

GV: "I could break it right now if you'd like. Then you and your pal Williams could form a tag team called The Gimps!"

BW: "I'm not fining you, Greg, because I've got another plan in mind for us. At 'Thunderstruck', I'm gonna be fighting for my good friend Steve Williams! Valentine, you and me are having a match! And you'd better pray that I don't lock you in the figure four because if I do, it might just be you who's leaving the ring with a broken ankle!"

GV: "Watts, that's music to my ears! I'm gonna thoroughly hurting you real bad! And it will all be sanctioned by the UWL Match-Making Committee! That means no fines, no suspensions! I'm gonna tear you up and it will all be offical!"

Valentine and Watts glared at each other momentarily and then Hart and Valentine left the ring as Watts looked on.)

(Announcers hyped Valentine vs. Pres. Watts for 'Thunderstruck'. Said Triple Threat #1 Contender's Tag Team match was coming up next!)

Match 4 (Triple Threat #1 Contender's Tag Team Match - Winner gets the World Tag Team Title shot at 'Thunderstruck')

The Nasty Boys vs. The Anderson Brothers vs. Lord Humongous & The Missing Link (w/ mgr. Dark journey)

(Back from commercial, the Anderson brothers and the Nastys were already in the ring.

Music-only version of 'Breaking The Law' by Judas Priest blared over the p.a. system. Crowd popped big-time when Lord, Link and Journey made their way out on the stage and down to the ring. Lord got on the apron, pounded his chest and pointed at the other two teams as Link slammed his head against the ring post three times. Lord stepped over the top rope into the ring and Link got in and stomped around and slammed his own head into the top turnbuckle.

Announcers pointed out that one man from each team was legally allowed in the ring during the match.

Ole and Gene were the Anderson team and Lars was out on the floor.

All three teams were doing their best to get the victory. Early in the match, Link had run at the ropes and was going to come off and try and hit a move on Ole when Lars reached up and pulled down the top rope and Link toppled over it and crashed to floor. Ref saw it, stopped the match and ordered Lars to head to the back. After a brief argument with the ref, Gene dropped to the floor and had a brief conversation with Lars and Lars finally left.

Ref re-started the match. All three teams had chances to win in the short affair. Wrestlers cost each other pins and saved their own partner from defeat by breaking up pins.

At the end of the match, Gene, Sags and Lord were the legal men in the ring. Sags hit a front powerslam on Gene and went for the cover near the ropes. 1...2... Ole reached in the ring and grabbed Sags by the ankles and pulled Sags out of the ring to the floor. Sags fell to the floor and Ole started putting the boots to him. Knobs dropped off the apron and went over and started brawling with Ole. In the ring, Lord grabbed Gene by the throat and chokeslammed him. Lars, who had been banished from ringside, came charging down the aisle and attacked Knobs. Lars and Knobs now fighting as Lord hoisted Gene in the air for his gorilla press slam behind his back. Lord dropped Gene and Gene crashed face first to the mat. Lord then hit the ropes and came off and nailed Gene with the diving splash to the back. Lord rolled Gene over and covered him. 1... Ole tried to climb back in the ring and break up the pin try but the now recovered Sags grabbed Ole and yanked Ole off the apron back to the floor. ...2...3! Ref called for the bell. Loud crowd pop as the ref raised Lord's hand in victory as Journey and Link got in the ring. Out on the floor, the fighting continued between the Nastys and Ole and Lars as Gene still recovered in the ring. The Nastys, Lars and Ole battled back up the aisle. Sags and Ole started fighting on the rampway and Lars and Knobs fought off to the side of the stage. A hurting Gene made his way back up the aisle as the fighting disappeared to the back.

WINNER: Lord & Link - Pinfall - Lord pinned Gene Anderson with a Diving Splash to the Back - 7:43)

(After the match: Lord, Link and Journey were still in the ring celebrating their win when Hall & Nash came out on the entrance stage. They were now in their ring attire. Both had mics and they received a mixed crowd reax. They were wearing the tag titles around their waists.

Nash: "Lord Humongous and Missing Link! You may not be able to understand anything other than gutteral caveman sounds, but we are so glad you won! We're looking forward to June 9th in Seattle! Because on that day you're gonna realize that messing with members of The Firm is the worst thing you've ever done! Dark Journey may need to translate what I'm saying to you guys with cave drawings, but Team De-Evolution is in for a major league hurting at 'Thunderstruck! Oh yeah! You're not getting these belts, either!"

Hall: "Dark Journey! Man, why don't you dump the love children of George 'The Animal' Steele and Lady Gaga there and align yourself with men who, you know, are fully evolved and living in the 21st century! Every member of The Firm lives in nice homes with things like heating and air conditioning, a microwave, big-screen TV and all the other modern conveniences! Why keep managing guys who swim in ponds, have no idea what a knife and fork are for, catch and eat their meals with their bare hands and wipe with rocks, leaves and bark?! The Firm is gonna be running this show one day, babe! How about it?! You wanna be part of the elite, Journey?!"

Journey took the r.a. mic from Lee Marshall.

DJ: "Would I like to join The Firm? Hmmm... I've got an answer for you? Do you want to know what it is?"

Hall: "Let's hear it, doll!"

Lord and Link left the ring and dropped to the floor and Journey hopped off the apron into Lord's arms. Lord grabed her by the hips and lowered her gently to the floor. Journey and her men made their way to the entrnace stage.

DJ: "I'll give you my answer. But first, you two have to close your eyes."

Nash: "I think Dark Journey wants to make it with a couple of 21st century dudes. Alright, let's do this."

DJ: "Ummmm... Pucker up, boys."

Hall and Nash did as told and Journey proceeded to slap both of them across the face. Hall and Nash reacted angrily and Lord and Link moved on the champs. A point-blank stand-off ensued between the two teams. Nash then slowly raised his mic to speak.

Nash: "That was not smart, Dark Journey! Now, at 'Thunderstruck', your boys are really gonna suffer!"

The two teams glared at one another for a few more seconds and then Hall and Nash coolly walked off as Journey kept her men calm.)

(Announcers discussed Lord and Link winning the 3-way tag match and earning the tag title shot at 'Thunderstruck' and the confrontation with champs Hall and Nash after the match. Said an interview with UWL World Champion Roddy Piper was coming up!)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson i'viewed Ken Patera.

Nelson asked Patera about tonight's match with former boss Firm Director Ted DiBiase.

KP: "Tonight, I get the opportunity to do what millions of people would like to do every day! I get a chance to beat up my former boss! Signing with The Firm was the biggest mistake of my life! I had to learn that lesson the hard way! But believe me, I learned it! And there's no one in The Firm I'd rather take my wrath out on than Ted DiBiase! And I intend to do just that!")

(In-ring: Lee Marshall interviewed UWL World Champion Roddy Piper.

Bagpipe music played and Piper came to the ring to a loud roar. He was wearing his kilt, t-shirt, ring boots and the title around his waist. He slapped hands with some fans on the way to the ring. Piper got in the ring and briefly played to the crowd.

LM: "Roddy Piper, at 'Thunderstruck' you are facing another member of The Firm in Dusty Rhodes with the World Title on the line. Are you beginning to feel pressure here? This will be your third World Title defense against someone from The Firm in the last six weeks? They have vowed that they will wear you down if they have to to get the title."

RP: "I cannot avoid any member of The Firm! Dusty Rhodes won the tournament last week to get the title shot in 12 days! Of course, Ted DiBiase did his part to ensure that Dusty got the match! I can't dwell on that! I have to look forawrd! Dusty! I know you're a great wrestler, man! Dusty's been a World Champion three times in his career! I was told he was out here earlier tonight and guaranteed that he was gonna be the man who beats me and wins the World Title for The Firm! I've said it before, I would rather lose this belt to anyone else other than a member of The Firm! At 'Thunderstruck', I'm not going in with blinders on! My eyes are wide open and I know that I can probably expect some extra company in the match! Ted DiBiase really wants to get control of the title! He's a man possessed! He won't stop sending his men after me! I, and every wrestler on the UWL roster, just have to keep fighting this scourge in our midst!

"If they take out one of ours, then we need to take out one of theirs! If they interfere in a match, then we must come to the aid of any UWL wrestler, whether we like them or hate them! We are at a critical point in this war! Any and all personal differences are gonna have to be put aside when we're batlting The Firm!"

Crowd booed as Dusty Rhodes came to the ring with a mic. He was in his ring attire and wearing his black satin ring jacket with 'Dusty' written in red cursive letters on the back, black tights, white cowboy-style wrestling boots and his top hat. Dusty got in the ring.

Dusty: "Roddy Piper. I have indeed guaranteed that I am gonna be the man who ends your run as World Champion. I am gonna be the man who brings the World Title into The Firm which is where it belongs. You can't stop manifest destiny, daddy. And The Firm's manifest destiny is one of winning all the titles here in the UWL and then taking over the company. Titles mean power in this sport more than they do in any other. Champions have great leverage. Champions call the shots. Champions hold all the cards. And the belt that gives you the greatest leverage and power is the UWL World Title. I'm ripping that belt away from you, Piper. I won't be stopped. A huge victory in the war between the UWL and The Firm will have been won by us. And it will be the turning point. Once the World Title is handed to me and my hand is raised as the new UWL World Champion, the path to the ultimate power of controlling the UWL will be all but assured. Oh! The Firm and the UWL will have more battles along the way. But we're just gonna wear you UWL boys down in a relentless and withering assault until you finally can't go on any longer. The UWL will have to sue for peace! Once your side can no longer fight effectively then it's all academic! Control of the UWL will fall into The Firm's hands like ripe fruit falling from a tree!"

RP: "Nice speech there, Dusty. Maybe your real calling was as a motivational speaker...in Jonestown . Let me fill you in on something! Every wrestler, and I mean every last one of us, talks a lot! We talk and talk and talk! We tell these fans what we're gonna do to each other! But the reality is that we don't know what the hell is gonna happen until we step in the ring and it's go time! You know what?! I'm gonna give it everything I've got at 'Thunderstruck'! I'm gonna go into the match with every intention of retaining the World Title! But nothing in this sport is 100%, man! I can't give a rock-solid guarantee that I will still be the champion in 12 days! You're out here making a guarantee that you will beat me and that you will become the new UWL World Champion! It may happen! But Dusty, if you fail in your quest to beat me...then you've got to deal with Ted DiBiase and the rest of your partners in crime in The Firm! You have to win, Dusty, or it might just be curtains for you at the hands of your associates!"

Dusty: "You may think what you just said shakes me up. But it doesn't. I beat three top UWL stars to get this title shot. There's no way in hell I'm gonna let this chance pass me by. I'm not gonna let Director Ted DiBiase or my brothers in The Firm down. I'm not even thinking about a downside here. What if I lose? Ha! It's not happenin', jack! A new era is gonna be ushered in at 'Thunderstruck'! The era of The Firm!"

RP: "Well then, I guess there's only one thing left to say."

Dusty: "And what would that be?"

RP: "We'll settle this at 'Thunderstruck'."

Bagpipe music played and Piper took the title off and held it up over his head as he and Rhodes continued to stare each other down and the fans cheered.)

(In-ring: 'All Along The Watchtower' by Hendrix played and Greg Valentine and mgr. Gary Hart, both in suits, made their way to the ring to pretty strong boos. Each had a mic. Once in the ring, the pair briefly soaked in the negative crowd reaction.

GV: "This Sunday at 'Thunderstruck', I have one goal in mind for my match with President Bill Watts. And that goal is to break Watts' ankle so he can join his buddy Steve Williams in the Ankle Break Hotel! Imagine that! Me, Greg Valentine, breaks his boss's ankle! That's something you peoplle can only dream about at your job! But I get to do it for real! I can already hear Watts' ankle snapping like branch when I slap him in my figure four! Keep in mind that it was Watts who wanted this match! And he's gonna suffer for it!"

Hart: "I told you people that when Greg Valentine came back from his 60-day suspension he was gonna be better than ever and he's proving that to be the case. Once he disposes of the President of the company at 'Thunderstruck', once he leaves the President with the gift of a shattered ankle, Valentine's march back to he top is gonna take off like a rocket. There will be no stopping this man from making it back to the top in the UWL. For one year he was the man. And he will be the man again in the near future."

Pres. Watts walked out on the entrance stage unannounced. He had a mic. Modest crowd response for Watts.

BW: "Greg Valentine and Gary Hart, I have an announcement for you and all these great UWL fans out here. Earlier today, I was on the phone with Steve Williams' doctor. And he told me that not only is Steve on the road to recovery, but that his recovery is ahead of schedule. Because of the great shape he's in, Steve should be returning to wrestling sooner than expected. You'd better start preparing, because Steve has told me that the one thing he's concentrating on right now is getting you in that ring, Greg!

"As for our match at 'Thunderstruck', well, I don't think I've ever trained harder for a match in my life than I am for this one! I'm as ready as I'll ever be for a match! And I am dedicating this match to my good friend Steve Williams! This is very personal for me! But I don't only want revenge for him! I also want to tear you apart for trying to break my ankle three weeks ago! This isn't going to be a match between us! It's going to be a fight! And Greg Valentine, mark my words, I'm bringing the fight to you!"

GV: "Watts, it's nice to hear you're training harder than ever for this match. Look at the bright side, you'll be in better shape than you've ever been in when I book you a penthouse suite right next to Williams at the Ankle Break Hotel. I've got a chance to hurt the boss; I'm not gonna let it pass me by. And you may be dedicating this match to your pal Steve Williams, but he's gonna be sorely disappointed with the end result."

BW: "Valentine, I just need that one opening in our match. Because if I get that opening...it might be you who has to make reservations for an extended stay at your own hotel!"

Greg and Hart engaged in a staredown with Watts as the segment ended.)

(Announcers discussed the showdown between Watts and Valentine. Hyped their match for this Sunday at 'Thunderstruck'. Hyped still to come: JUST SIGNED!

(Video aired chronicling the Madusa (WC) - Awesome Kong situation including last week where Madusa brawled with Kong and Slick got a hold of the UWL Women's World Title and handed it to Kong and raised her hand in symbolic victory.)

Match 1 (Non-Title)

Madusa (WC) vs. Lelani Kai

(Back from commercial, Kai was already in the ring.

'American Woman' played over the p.a. system and out came Madusa to a good ovation. She had gotten the title back was wearing it around her waist. Madusa slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring.

Kai attacked Madusa before the bell rang. Ref called for the bell to start the match. Kai held serve early but Madusa quickly fought back and took control of the match and dispensed of Kai with German suplex into a bridgeout to score the 1...2...3!

WINNER: Madusa - Pinfall - German Suplex into a Bridgeout - 3:09)

(After the match in-ring: Lee Marshall interviewed Madusa.

LM: "Madusa, the talk in the women's wrestling world is this situation between you and Awesome Kong. Everything is pointing a match between you two somewhere down the road. Do you think it's gonna happen?"

Madusa: "Lee, it is guaranteed that a match will take place between Awesome Kong and myself! And I want the match as soon as possible!"

Crowd booed as Kong, in her ring attire, and her manager Slick, in a suit and fedora, made their way out onto the entrnace stage. Slick had a mic.

Slick: "Madusa. I couldn't agree with you more. Awesome Kong wants a match with you too, ba-by! Let's get this deal done and make the match a re-al-i-ty!"

Madusa: "Well we've got a pay-per-view called 'Thunderstruck' coming up in five days! Let's have our match there!"

Crowd cheered.

Slick: "You're talking our language! We're on board! We're good to go!"

Pres. Watts walked out on the entrance stage with mic in hand. Not much crowd reaction.

BW: "Madusa and Awesome Kong, you're two of the best female wrestlers in the world today. It's the women's match that everyone wants to see. So at 'Thunderstruck' it's gonna be UWL Women's World Champion Madusa vs. Awesome Kong! Get ready to hook 'em up!"

Crowd cheered.

Madusa: "Awesome Kong! I've been watching video of you lately! You've left a trail of destruction wherever you've gone! You've already tried to injure me since you arrived in the UWL! I know the monster I'm going up against at 'Thunderstruck'! You don't just try to beat your opponents! You literally try to destroy them! You may beat me at 'Thunderstruck'! But I'll be damned if I'm gonna let you destroy me!"

Kong took the mic from Slick.

Kong (eerie voice): "Madusa. Say what you will. This Sunday, prepare to annihilated by the force of nature known as Awesome Kong."

Madusa and Kong did the long distance staredown as Madusa raised the title in air as the fans cheered as the segment ended.)

(Announcers discussed Watts making Madusa vs. Kong for 'Thunderstruck' and the confrontation between Madusa and Kong. Said the in-ring debut of Koko B. Ware was coming up!)

(Video aired for the 'Deja Vu Presents: Thunderstruck' PPV - This Sunday - June 9 - Seattle, WA - Key Arena - 8pm E/5pm P - Tickets on sale NOW! - Or! Order on PPV! Cable: $34.95/Satellite: $44.95!)

(Back from commercial, Rip Oliver, in street clothes, was standing in the ring with mic in hand. Fans were booing him.

Pedicino: "Rip Oliver was not listed on the line-up sheet to be on the show tonight! He just came to the ring during the break! This is supposed to be the spot where Koko B. Ware makes his UWL wrestling debut! This is gonna make juggling the rest of the program line-up interesting!"

Oliver soaked in the boos for a moment before speaking.

RO: "Hugh, I know you're back there. Come on down. Let's have a little chat."

After a brief pause, Hugh, also in street duds and with the TV Title slung over his shoulder, made his way to the ring with mic in hand. He received a decent ovation from the crowd. Hugh slapped hands with some fans along the way.

HM: "I'm here, Ripper! What do you have to say to me?!"

RO: "Hugh, this is the next to last time that one of us will stand in a UWL ring. This Sunday, the loser of our TV Title match is gone from the company. I made you, Hugh. I made you a tag team champion for eight glorious months. Without me, you would have gone nowhere here in the UWL. We would have been the tag team champs a lot longer if you weren't such a weak link and an idiot. I had to sever ties with you because you had become an anchor for me. You were dragging me down to your level. The UWL is no longer big enough for the both us. You're trash, Hugh. And I'm taking the trash out of the UWL at 'Thunderstruck'."

Hugh held up the TV Title in front of Rip.

HM: "Uh, Rip. Let me ask you a question. Who did I beat to win this belt? Hmm... Who was it?"

RO: "You beat me to win that title."

HM: "That's right. You're the man I pinned to become the TV Champion. I've proven that I match-up with you very well. And more importantly, I've proven that I can beat you."

RO: "You're not beating me again. You got your upset victory over me at 'Spring Mayhem'. At 'Thunderstruck' there will be no suprises. Hugh Morrus is not gonna have another 'Miracle on Ice' moment. I'm finishing you off and it will be good riddance to you from this company. Just looking at you makes me angry as hell. I can't stand the mere sight of you. You have got to go."

HM: "The feeling is more than mutual, Rip. I'm having a hard time maintaining my self-control standing in this ring with you. The way you treated me when we were a tag team. All the abuse; all the sh(bleep) I had to put up with from you! Parting company with you was the best thing I've ever done in my career up to now! But that's gonna drop on my list to the second best thing I've ever done in my career! The new number one thing is when I beat you at 'Thunderstruck' this Sunday and send you packing from the UWL, you bum!"

Oliver and Hugh glared at each other for a moment and then Oliver got a sly sneer on his face.

RO: "I really hope you have your future plans mapped out, Hugh. Because this 'bum' ending your UWL career in five days."

Oliver then turned and left the ring to boos and headed back up the aisle as Hugh looked on from the ring. Rip looked back briefly at Hugh and then turned and continued his walk to the back.)

(Announcers discussed the Oliver-Morrus confrontation. Hyped their UWL TV Title Loser Leaves The UWL match for 'Thunderstruck' this Sunday. Then sent it back to the ring!)

Match 2

Koko B. Ware vs. Les Thornton

('The Bird' by Morris Day and the Time played over the p.a. system. Koko got a nice ovation as he came out on the entrance stage. He was wearing a white tuxedo-like jacket with two birds on the front and another bird on the back with the word 'Birdman' above the bird. He had on red tights, with a bird on the outside of each leg and white boots with 'Koko' written on the outside of each boot. Koko slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring.

Once in the ring, Koko flapped his arms like a bird and danced and many in the crowd followed suit.

Koko dominated Thornton in this short match. Koko finished off Thornton with the dounble underhook DDT and scored the pinfall victory.

WINNER: Koko - Pinfall - Double Underhook DDT - :57)

(After the match: Koko was waving his arms and dancing to his entrance music as Father Dutch made his way to the ring. He had a mic in one hand. He was in his priest's attire. Father Dutch got in the ring and Koko turned and saw him. Koko glared at Father Dutch as Dutch reached behind his back and brandished a banana. As Koko looked on, Father Dutch tossed the banana at Koko. The banana hit Koko in the chest and fell to the mat. Father Dutch then spoke.

FD: "It's time for dinner, Koko. Eat up, boy."

Koko started to move on Father Dutch when Grog and the Sacred Anvil hit the ring. The two got in the ring and started to encircle Koko when the crowd cheered as DDP and Buzz Sawyer hit the ring. Father Dutch and his congregants bailed from the ring to the floor as DDP, Koko and Buzz remained in the ring and dared the holy(?) trio to get back in and fight. As Father Dutch and crew looked on, Koko took the r.a. mic and picked up the banana and held it up.

Koko: "Father Dutch! At 'Thunderstruck', I'm gonna take this banana and personally shove it down your throat!"

Crowd cheered as the staredown party continued as the segment ended.)

(Announcers discussed Koko winning his debut and Father Dutch coming out and not showing his commitment to diversity. Hyped the 6-man tag: DDP, Koko B. Ware & Buzz Sawyer vs. Father Dutch, Grog & The Sacred Anvil at 'Thunderstruck'. Hyped still to come: JUST SIGNED! Non-Titled Match: Roddy Piper (WC) vs. Adrian Adonis (The Firm); Harley Race vs. 'Superstar' Graham; Lars Anderson vs. Nasty Boy Sags; Wahoo McDaniel vs. Buzz Sawyer; Dusty Rhodes (The Firm) vs. DDP; World Tag Team Champs Hall & Nash (The Firm) wrestle; the final 'Thunderstruck' PPV Update; and more! Said 'Bad Boy' Brunzell is here next!)

(In-ring: 'Bad Boy' Brunzell promo.

'Bad Boys' by the Miami Sound Machine played over the p.a. system. The announcers and crowd waited for Brunzell to come walking down the aisle. And they waited... Suddenly, a camera shot caught Brunzell rappling down from the ceiling like Sting on 'Nitro'. Brunzell was wearing a black trench coat like Sting and also had his face painted black and white like Sting. He was also wearing his black derby hat, 'Bad Boy' t-shirt, jeans and black shoes. He was holding a mic.

Brunzell didn't unhook himself from the rappling device.

BBB: "How was that for a bad boy entrance?!"

Crowd started chanting 'Jim' and Brunzell covered his ears for a moment before speaking again.

BBB: "When are you people going to learn! My name is no longer Jim! It's 'Bad Boy'! I don't know what the fudge I'm gonna have to do to make you people realize that! I am a bad boy who walks among ordinary men! Look at the entrance I just made! No one else in the UWL is going to do that because they aren't 100% certified bad boys like yours truly is! And look at my face! Who else can paint themselves up to look like Sting AND wear a derby hat and get away with it?! The only person who can do it is me because of my bad boy persona! How about the trench coat?! Look at it! Yet another item that only real bad boys wear! This coat oozes bad boy when I put it on! Shout out goes to my mom who took me shopping for the coat and bought it for me! She had her reservations about me getting this coat! But, after having a bad boy tantrum in the middle of the Big Bear Lake Marshall's, she ponied up! Ma! You gotta face reality! I'm not your little 'Jimby-Bimby' anymore! I'm your bad boy son! I'm the black sheep of the Brunzell brood!"

Suddenly, Brunzell started being pulled back up to the ceiling without warning.

BBB: "HEY! HEY! STOP! STOP!"

Brunzell was stopped in mid-air about 10-12 feet above the ring.

BBB: "This... This isn't cool, man!"

Brunzell just dangled.

BBB: "Please lower me back to the canvas! Please! Look! I'm afraid of heights! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! Put me down! Mom, help!"

Brunzell was lowered back to the ground. Jim had a scared look on his face. Crowd started chanting 'Jim' again. Brunzell struggled to unhook himself from the rappling device. After a fight with it, Brunzell finally freed himself. Brunzell then angrily swung at the cable and missed as the crowd laughed. He then angrily stomped out of the ring and covered his ears as he made his way back up the aisle to chants of 'Jim'!)

(Announcers talked and laughed about the Brunzell interview. Said Lars Anderson vs. Nasty Boy Sags was coming up!)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson interviewed Adrian Adonis of The Firm.

LN: "Adrian, tonight you're facing UWL World Champion Roddy Piper. You've got a big match coming up this Sunday with Lex Luger at 'Thunderstruck'. What's the reason for taking this match tonight?"

Adrian: "Let's get one thing straight. While I am the one who asked for this match..."

LN: "Were you put up to asking for this match?"

Adrian: "Roddy Piper had to agree to take this match also."

LN: "That's not what I asked."

Adrian: "You know what? This interview is over."

Adrian walked out of the interview area.

LN: "Steve and Joe, back to you.")

(Announcers discussed the brief, uninformative interview with Adonis.

Stack: "One has to wonder if Director Ted DiBiase put Adonis up to requesting this match because they knew Piper would take it because of his direct action approach to fighting The Firm."

Pedicino: "Steve, I don't have a good feeling about this for Roddy. It sounds like it might be some sort of set up as Roddy heads into his World Title defense against The Firm's Dusty Rhodes at 'Thunderstruck'.")

Match 3

Nasty Boy Sags (w/ Knobs) vs. Lars Anderson (w/ Ole)

(Sags and Knobs came to the ring to a decent ovation.

Lars and Ole came to the ring to boos. Ole was in street clothes. Announcers pointed out that Gene was not with them.

Brief back-and-forth bout.

At the end of the match, Lars was on the offensive. Lars hoisted Sags across his shoulders and prepared to go for the Minnesota Wrecker (aka, Samoan Drop) but Sags reversed it into a crucifix pin try. 1...2... Lars kicked out. The two men got up and Sags blasted Lars with a neckbreaker. Just as Sags picked up Lars to nail him with his front powerslam finisher, Gene charged down the aisle and he and Ole attacked Knobs on the floor. Sags looked and saw what was happening on the floor and dropped Lars and left the ring to join Knobs in fighting Ole and Gene. Ref started counting the 20 count. The four were battling it out as Lars recovered and joined in the fray and the Andersons had a 3-on-2 advantage.

Suddenly, a fan wearing a baseball cap and sitting on the end of the aisle in the third row bolted from his seat, hopped the ringside barricade and started battling alongside the Nasty Boys against the Andersons. Ref called for the bell. Fight went on a little longer before the sides separated. The Andersons and the Nastys were looking at the guy who hopped the barricade.

Stack: "Who is that guy?"

Pedicino: "I have no idea."

Words were exchanged between the Andersons and Nastys and the fan looked on. UWL security came out to take the fan away but Knobs stepped in and talked to security briefly and they backed off. Mic picked up Ole.

Ole: "Who are you?!"

Fan stood ready to fight with his fists raised. Andersons didn't seem to know what to make of the situation. Nastys pulled the guy away from the Andersons and huddled. It was clear that Sags and Knobs had no idea who the fan was. After a little more discussion, the three made their way back up the aisle together as the fans reacted with a mix of cheers and confusion as the Andersons stood on the floor and were in a state of disbelief.

DECISION: Double Coutout - 2:46)

(Announcers discussed the bizarre encounter they just witnessed and wondered who the fan was who helped the Nasty Boys in their fight with the Anderson brothers.

Pedicino: "Neither the Nasty Boys nor the Anderson brothers seemed to know that fan. But he left with the Nasty Boys. I'm just as puzzled as the Andersons are about this whole thing."

Stack: "We'll try and have more info on this developing situation later in the program. Harley Race vs. 'Superstar' Graham when we come back!")

Match 4

Harley Race vs. 'Superstar' Graham (w/ Grand Wizard)

('California Dreamin' played over the p.a. system and Graham and Wizard made their way to the ring to pretty strong boos. Wizard was in his tie-dyed tux, gold turban, white shoes, sunglasses and carrying his gold-tipped cane. Once in the ring, Graham struck some bodybuilder poses to more boos.

Race came to the ring to a decent crowd reaction. Race did not slap hands with fans along the way.

Short, hard-hitting battle between two long-time vets. During the match, Wahoo, in his ring attire, came out on the entrance stage.

At the end of the match, Race was on the offensive. Race had worked Graham over briefly and then bodyslammed Graham into position for a turnbuckle move. Race mounted the middle buckle and came off with a diving headbutt but Graham rolled out of the way and Race crashed head first into the mat. Both men made it to their feet and Graham moved in and kicked Race in the gut and then nailed a couple of head shots. Wahoo quietly made his way down to ringside. Graham whipped Race into the ropes and caught Race coming off with a tilt-a-whirl slam. Race down next to the ropes. Graham covered Race. 1... Wahoo made his way over to where Graham was pinning Race. Race got his foot on the bottom rope. ...2... Wahoo knocked Race's foot off the rope back into the ring and the ref didn't see it. ...3! Ref called for the bell and went over and raised Graham's hand in victory. Graham and Wizard left the ring victoriously.

Wahoo was now standing halfway up the aisle. Race made it to his feet and looked over and saw Wahoo standing on the floor. Race glared at Wahoo from the ring as Wahoo smirked at Harley and then Wahoo backed up to the ramp and turned and made his way to the back as Race was still smoldering in the ring.

WINNER: Graham - Pinfall - Tilt-A-Whirl Slam - 4:11)

(Announcers discussed Graham beating Race thanks to Wahoo's interference. Hyped Wahoo vs. Race for 'Thunderstruck'. Said Hall & Nash in action was coming up!)

(Announcers intro'd video chronicling the feud between UWL World Tag Team Champs Hall & Nash of The Firm and Lord Humongous & The Missing Link leading to their World Tag Team Title match this Sunday at 'Thunderstruck'.)

Match 5 (Non-Title)

Hall & Nash (WTTC) (w/ DiBiase) (The Firm) vs. Scotty Riggs & Sgt. Craig Pittman

(Hall, Nash and Dibiase came to the ring to the song 'Money' by Pink Floyd. Mixed crowd reaction.

Not much to the match as Hall & Nash destroyed Pittman and Riggs. Double pin as Nash pinned Riggs with the jack-knife powerbomb and Hall pinned Pittman with the Hallinator, though only Nash's pin was legal.

WINNER: Hall & Nash - Pinfall - Nash pinned Riggs with the Jack-Knife Powerbomb - 1:32)

(After the match: Nash took the mic from r.a. Lee Marshall.

Nash: "Lord Humongous and Missing Link! These two career jobbers got put out of their misery quickly! But at 'Thunderstruck', we're gonna extend your pain and misery for as long as possible before we defeat you and send you two back to the..."

'Breaking The Law' played over the p.a. system and Lord, Link and mgr. Dark Journey walked out on the entrance stage. Loud pop for the trio. Journey had a mic, but the trio just stood looking on at Hall, Nash and DiBiase. After a brief staredown Nash spoke.

Nash: "Dark Journey! Your two brain surgeons-in-training there are also gonna pay for you slapping Hall and me in the face last week! What do you say about that, hon?!"

DJ: "The only thing I can say is...we'll see you guys this Sunday at 'Thunderstruck', where actions will speak much louder than any words ever could."

'Breaking The Law' played again over the p.a. system as Journey and her men looked on at Hall, Nash and DiBiase for a moment before she led her men to the back.)

(Announcers discussed the brief confrontation between Hall & Nash and the challengers Lord Humongous & Missing Link. Hyped their match for 'Thunderstruck' this Sunday.)

(Announcers then intro'd video from earlier tonight of the three Anderson brothers attacking the Nasty Boys and a fan jumping the ringside barricade and joining the Nasty Boys in battling the Andersons and the fan leaving the ringside area with the Nasty Boys and heading to the back and no one seeming to know who the fan was. Announcers then sent it backstage to Larry Nelson.)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson was standing in the locker room with the Nasty Boys and the fan who came to their aid.

LN: "I have got to ask this. Who are you? I mean, you come out of the seats and help the Nasty Boys. Are you friends with them?"

Fan: "I didn't know the Nasty Boys personally until just a few minutes ago. But I think you can say that we've become fast friends. My name is Buzz..."

The Anderson brothers came barging into the locker room.

Ole (furious): "We demand to know who the hell you are?! You just come out of the stands and start fighting with us! What's your problem, buddy?!"

Fan: "The name's Buzz Tyler."

Ole and Buzz looked at each other for a moment.

Ole: "So what?! Why did you do what you did out there?!"

Tyler: "You don't remember me do you, Ole?"

Ole: "No! Should I?!"

Tyler: "When I was breaking into the wrestling business you were already a big star. I walked up to you in the locker room the first time I saw you and introduced myself. You just blew me off. What I saw over time was that you were the big shot of the locker room. You were the superstar. And because of your status, you felt you had the right to treat the undercard guys and the new guys like me like garbage. I also remember the liberties you would take in the ring with guys just breaking into the business. I saw you hurt guys just because you were Ole Anderson and you could get away with it. Well, one of those rookies you took advantage of was me. Happened in a small arena in Georgia. It was one of my first matches. You dominated me and I lost. You didn't have to go out of the way and stretch me during the match, but you did. You could have beaten me on your talent alone. You really messed me up physically for a while. I seriously thought about quitting the business right then and there. But I'm glad I didn't.

"Since then, we've gone our separate ways in wrestling over the years. But I've never forgotten what you did to me that night in the ring. I just came to watch the show tonight, Ole. When I saw you walk out to the ring it made my blood boil, but I wasn't going to do anything. Then, you and your brothers ganged up on the Nasty Boys and there was no way I was gonna let that slide sitting just 10 feet from ringside. Now I'm here; face-to-face with a man I've wanted to get into the ring again with for years so I could get a little payback."

Ole: "Let me tell you something, what's your name again?!"

Tyler: "Buzz Tyler."

Ole: "Well, Buzz Tyler, I don't remember you! But if, as you say, I did stretch you in a match one night years ago, I did it because that was the way newcomers into our business paid their dues! You had to show you were tough and could handle the unforgiving nature of this sport! I stand here and I proudly proclaim that I sent a lot of rookies packing from the wrestling business because they couldn't take the hard knocks! When I started, wrestlers were trained to be tough guys! If you weren't tough then you were gone! It's not like today, where these newer stars are treated like pieces of fine China! You had to prove you could hack it! This isn't ballet, Tyler! The name on the marquee says 'professional wrestling'! You say you want some sort of revenge against me?! I have no problem...none...stepping back into the ring with you! And who knows, if you're lucky, I might just stretch the hell out of you again! Are you signed to wrestle with UWL?! You know, you need to be a contracted wrestler to work here! Sign a contract and you're on!"

Pres. Watts walked into the locker room with a clipboard in hand.

BW: "Ole, I have been talking with Buzz Tyler since he came backstage with the Nasty Boys. I looked into his background and he is who he says he is. Like you, he has established himself in this business. Buzz, because this is such short notice, I have here in my hand a temporary 30-day contract to wrestle here in the UWL starting immediately. If you'll just sign it."

Buzz took the contract and signed it and handed it back to Watts and Wats shook Buzz's hand.

BW: "Buzz, welcome to the UWL. We will work on an extended contract in the coming weeks. And at 'Thunderstruck' we're gonna have ourselves a little 6-man tag. It will be the Anderson brothers vs. The Nasty Boys and Buzz Tyler! Gentlemen! Get ready to hook 'em up this Sunday!"

As Ole and Buzz looked on at each other, Larry Nelson sent it back to ringside.)

(Announcers discussed the fan being revealed as wrestler Buzz Tyler and Tyler confronting Ole about their past and Watts signing Buzz to a 30-day contract and making the 6-man tag for 'Thunderstruck'. Hyped still to come: JUST SIGNED! Non-Titled Match: Roddy Piper (WC) vs. Adrian Adonis (The Firm); Wahoo McDaniel vs. Buzz Sawyer; Dusty Rhodes (The Firm) vs. DDP; the final 'Thunderstruck' PPV Update; and more!)

(Announcers intro'd video of the situation between Arn Anderson and Firm Director Ted DiBiase with comments to follow from both men.

Arn appeared on the screen in street clothes and holding a mic. He was standing in front of the 'Thunderstruck' logo.

Arn: "This Sunday at 'Thunderstruck' the war continues to heat up between the UWL and The Firm. Ted DiBiase, you are the kingfish of the organization. You cost me my match with your acolyte Dusty Rhodes in the finals of the tournament two weeks ago where the winner gets the UWL World Title shot at 'Thunderstruck'. Now, it's you and me on Sunday. Ted, you're one of the greatest technical wrestlers of all-time. You can win on your skill alone. But you've chosen to walk down a dark path. You've aligned yourself with a parade of reprobates because you want power. I know there's nothing you won't do to try and win this match. And if I have to fight fire with fire, Ted, believe me, that's just what I'll do."

Picture flipped and showed DiBiase standing in front of the 'Thunderstruck' logo. He was wearing a suit.

Ted: "Arn, I've said it before. You would have made a great member of The Firm. But you've chosen which side you're on in this war and in the end it's gonna be the losing side. When I step into that ring with you at 'Thunderstruck' this Sunday, Arn, I'm gonna show you the error of your ways up close and personal. You've become a thorn in the side of The Firm. I don't like the fact that guys like you never seem to learn. But when I beat you at 'Thunderstruck', maybe, just maybe, it will be a reality check for you. Just remember, Arn, no one remembers the losers. The winners write the history books. And I'm gonna write the next chapter for that book this Sunday.")

(Announcers hyped Ted DiBiase vs. Arn Anderson for 'Thunderstruck' then sent it backstage.)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson interviewed UWL World Champion Roddy Piper in the locker room. Roddy was dressed his kilt, t-shirt and ring boots and had the title on around his waist.

LN: "Roddy, why take this match tonight against Adrian Adonis of The Firm when you're defending the World Title against Dusty Rhodes at 'Thunderstruck' in five days?"

RP: "That's a good question to ask a normal man. But I'm not a normal man! We're at war with these guys! The Firm wants the whole kit-and-kaboodle, man! They want to one day control this organization and destroy the careers of UWL wrestlers who won't go along with their dictates! Adonis wants a fight?! Well, he's got one with me tonight! I know the mine field I'm walking into in this match! Do you think I trust Adrian Adonis?! I don't trust that man at all! He's a snake just like every other member of The Firm is! But they can't be avoided! We must fight them head-on no matter the costs to the UWL side! We have to win! Fence-sitting is not an option! Adrian Adonis! Brother, you had better be locked and loaded and ready to rumble! Because I'm gonna come at you like a one man Hell Brigade!

"As For Dusty Rhodes! Dusty, it's you and me this Sunday for the gold! Yet another Firm member gets his chance to win the title! I am bound and determined not to let that happen! The worst thing that could befall the UWL is for The Firm to get possession of this belt! They can't be given the power that comes along with holding the World Title! In their hands, this belt would be wielded like a sledge hammer against the UWL! The Firm would chip away at the foundations of the company until it's on dangerously shaky ground and then The Firm would move in and pick up the fractured remains of the promotion!They cannot get control of it! And Dusty, you've guaranteed victory against me at 'Thunderstruck'! It's a guarantee that I intend to make sure is not kept!")

(Video aired from earlier in the evening of Wahoo costing Harley Race his match with 'Superstar' Graham.)

Match 6

Wahoo McDaniel (w/ JJ Dillon) vs. Buzz Sawyer

(Sawyer came to the ring to the song 'Delirious' by ZZ Top. He got a decent ovation and slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring. Once in the ring, Buzz ran around the ring barking and the crowd barked back.

McDaniel and Dillon came to the ring to strong boos. Dillon was in a suit.

Short affair that saw Buzz give Wahoo a run for his money.

At the end of the match, Buzz was on the offensive and had bodyslammed Wahoo into position for a turnbuckle move. Buzz went out on the apron and mounted the top buckle and came off with the big elbow but Wahoo rolled out of the way and Buzz crashed to the mat. Wahoo got to his feet, picked up Buzz and nailed Buzz with a backbreaker across the knee. Wahoo then went out on the apron and climbed to the top buckle as Buzz got to his feet. As Buzz got up, Wahoo came off the top buckle and nailed Buzz with a chop to the top of the head. Buzz went down. Wahoo was pulling Buzz up when the fans popped as Race hit the ring. Race got in the ring and spun Wahoo around and blasted Wahoo with punches. Ref called for the bell.

Race whipped Wahoo into the ropes and caught Wahoo coming off with a belly-to-belly suplex. JJ got in the ring and came up behind Race and nailed Race with a forearm smash to the back. It had no effect on Race as Race turned and looked at JJ. JJ started backing away towards the buckles. Wahoo recovered and nailed Race with a knee to the back that sent Race tumbling through the top and middle rope down to the floor. Wahoo followed Race to the floor. Wahoo grabbed Race and slammed Race's head into the ringside barricade. Wahoo then went to whip Race into the post but Race reversed and sent Wahoo crashing shoulder first into the post. Fans into it. Wahoo staggered off up the aisle holding his shoulder. Race came up behind Wahoo and spun Wahoo around and started throwing punches against Wahoo's cranium. Wahoo fought back and the two engaged in a walking slugfest in the aisle. Wahoo got away from Race and made it part-way up the ramp when Race caught Wahoo and started battering Wahoo with more punches. JJ snuck up behind Race, dropped to a knee and nailed Race with a low-blow. Race went down. Wahoo put the boots to Race. Fans popped when Lex Luger and Arn Anderson came out. JJ and Wahoo fled the scene. Lex and Arn helped Race to his feet. Race shook hands with Arn and Lex and the trio made their way to the back to a good ovation.

DECISION: No Contest - 3:46)

(Announcers discussed Race costing Wahoo his match against Sawyer and Race and Wahoo brawling and JJ nailing Race with yet another low-blow like he did three weeks ago. Hyped Race vs. Wahoo for 'Thunderstruck'.)

(Announcers intro'd video chronicling the Adrian Adonis-Lex Luger feud with comments to follow from both men.

Adonis appeared in front of the 'Thunderstruck' logo and was holding a mic. He was wearing his NY Yankees' cap, leather jacket, 'Hell's Kitchen' t-shirt and jeans.

Adrian: "At 'Thunderstruck' in five days the issue between me and pretty boy Lex Luger comes to a head. This will be the decisive moment between us. Who's gonna win? The pretty boy musclehead with perfect white teeth from Florida? Or will it be the ugly street fightin' tough guy from Hell's Kitchen? Luger looks good, but I fight better than he looks. Do the math, people! Adrian Adonis of The Firm is the right man for the job to teach pretty boy Luger that good looks don't always guarantee success!"

Picture flipped and Luger was standing in front of the 'Thunderstruck' logo with a mic in hand. He was wearing a bodybuilder tank top and sweat pants.

Lex: "Adonis! You have gone out of your way the last couple of months to be a real problem for me! Well, I finally get the chance to take care of my 'problem' at 'Thunderstruck'! And that's just what I aim to do! My 'problem' will be solved in five days! See you in Seattle, Adonis!")

(Announcers hyped Luger vs. Adonis for 'Thunderstruck'. Said Dusty Rhodes (The Firm) vs. DDP was next!)

Match 7

Dusty Rhodes (w/ Ted DiBiase) (The Firm) vs. DDP

('La Grange' by ZZ Top played over the p.a. system and out came Rhodes and DiBiase to a mixed crowd reaction. Rhodes was wearing his top hat, black satin ring jacket with 'Dusty' written on the back in red cursive letters, black tights and white cowboy-style wrestling boots. DiBiase was in a suit. Mixed crowd reaction as always for any members of The Firm.

The pair got in the ring and Dusty went over and took the r.a. mic from Lee Marshall.

DR: "Cut the music!"

'La Grange' stopped playing.

DR: "Ladies and Gentlemen! Boys and Girls! Call all of your friends and tell them they must order the 'Thunderstruck' pay-per-view this Sunday to see his-to-ray! I am guaranteeing that I will beat Roddy Piper and become the new UWL World Champion in five short days! And when I'm handed the World Title, it will not only be mine...but it will also become the property of The Firm! And then the UWL will be at OUR mer-say! We'll be callin' all the shots as it concerns the big gold belt! That, people, is power! And it's a power that none of you sitting in this audience or watching at home will ever be able to attain; because you're not elite anythings! Everyone in The Firm equals elite! You're all equal nobodies! So, order 'Thunderstruck' and see the balance of power shift in our war with the UWL when I win the World Title!"

After a brief pause, music-only version of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' played over the p.a. system. DDP came out to a solid ovation. Once at the bottom of the ramp, DDP made the Diamond sign and then did the 'Bang!' gesture as pyro went off on the stage.

DDP took it to Dusty early and teased nailing Dusty with his Diamond Cutter but Dusty escaped DDP's grasp before DDP could execute the move. DiBiase distracted DDP from the floor during the match which allowed Dusty to roll DDP up from behind and try to score the pin while holding the tights but DDP kicked out at two.

At the end of the match, DDP and Dusty engaged in a punch exchange. DDP got the better of it and dropped Dusty with a discus clothesline. Dusty got up facing away from DDP. DDP moved in and blasted Dusty with a back suplex side slam. DDP covered Dusty and hooked the leg. 1...2...2-3/4... Dusty kicked out. DDP grabbed Dusty and whipped Dusty into the ropes and looked to catch Dusty coming off with a clothesline but Dusty ducked the move and came back and dropped DDP with a clothesline of his own. DDP got up and turned around and walked right into a series of bionic elbows to the top of the head. DDP stunned. Dusty then grabbed DDP, hoisted him up and nailed DDP with the 'Stardust Driver' (aka, inverted piledriver). Dusty covered DDP and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell and then raised Dusty's hand in victory.

DiBiase took the r.a. mic from Marshall.

Ted: "Let's hear it for the NEXT UWL World Champion...Dusty Rhodes! Hahaha!"

DiBiase raised Dusty's hand victoriously as the pair received a mixed crowd reaction.

WINNER: Dusty - Pinfall - Stardust Driver - 5:28)

(Announcers discussed Dusty beating DDP. Hyped still to come: Non-Title: Roddy Piper (WC) vs. Adrian Adonis (The Firm).)

Match 8 (Non-Title)

Roddy Piper (WC) vs. Adrian Adonis (w/ DiBiase) (The Firm)

('Money' played over the p.a. system and Adonis and DiBiase made their way to the ring to a mixed crowd reax. Adonis was wearing his NY Yankees' cap, black leather jacket, black tights and blue and white boots with the 'NY' logo on the outside of each boot.

After a brief pause, bagpipe music filled the arena and Piper came out to a huge ovation. Piper made his way to the ring and didn't slap hands. Piper got in the ring and briefly acknowledged the crowd.

Brief encounter. Just brief offense by both men.

At the end of the match, Piper caught Adonis in the sleeper hold. Adonis started to flag in the hold. Crowd popped. Dusty Rhodes, still in his ring gear, charged out and hit the ring. Dusty came up behind Piper and bashed Piper with a forearm smash across the upper back. Ref called for the bell.

Piper let go of Adonis and spun around and Dusty nailed Piper with a series of rapid-fire bionic elbows to the top of the head and then nailed Piper with a double sledge to the side of the face. Piper crashed to the mat. Dusty snapped up Piper and threw him over the top rope and down to the floor. Ref called for the bell again trying to restore order. Dusty dropped to the floor. Piper still down. Dusty pulled back part of the mat that surrounds the ring, exposing the unforgiving concrete underneath.

Pedicino: "Oh no! I think Dusty's gonna try and 'Stardust Drive' Piper on the exposed concrete!"

As Rhodes started to pick Piper up for the 'Stardust Driver', crowd erupted as Arn Anderson hit ringside. Dusty let go of Piper and Piper fell to the floor. Arn started popping Dusty with punches. DiBiase joined in and attacked Arn and now there was a 2-on-1 situation. It became 3-on-1 as Adonis hit the floor and joined in. Piper recovered and joined the fray. This brought out the four remaining members of The Firm making it a 7-on-2 fight. However, this didn't last long. Crowd roared as Lex Luger, Ken Patera, Rick Steiner (PC) and Lord Humongous and Missing Link all charged down to ringside to even out the numbers. A wild brawl ensued and the fans were loving it. Program faded to black as the brawl continued on the floor around ringside with the announcers reminding everyone that 'Thunderstruck' was this Sunday.

WINNER: Piper - DQ - Rhodes interfered - 2:17)

WRESTLINGNARC NEWSLETTER

'Spring Mayhem' PPV draws bigger numbers than last year!!!

The 'Spring Mayhem' PPV, held in mid-April at Key Arena in Seattle, WA, garnared an estimated 76,000 PPV buys and a live paid attendance of 9,871.

The show was built around Roddy Piper defending the UWL World Title against former best friend Wahoo McDaniel and Tina Ferrari defending the UWL Women's World Title against Madusa in a match where Madusa promised that she would end Tina's title reign and 26-month undefeated streak.

That's approximately 8,000 more PPV buys than last year's 'Spring Mayhem', which drew an estimated 68,000 buys. This year's show also drew over 1,700 more paying fans than last year's show in Milwaukee, WI, which drew 8,117 fans.

UWL officials were said to be very pleased with the improvement in PPV buys and tickets sold to the live event. The company points to the fact that, while TV ratings are mainly hovering in the 1.8-1.9 range, both PPV shows this year ('Winter Warfare' & 'Spring Mayhem') saw solid increases in PPV buys. The belief is that the remaining four PPV's this year should also do strong business.

Match 1

DDP, Buzz Sawyer & Koko B. Ware vs. Father Dutch, Grog & The Sacred Anvil

(Gregorian chants filled the arena and Father Dutch, Grog and The Sacred Anvil made their way to the ring to loud boos.

After a brief pause, the music-only version of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' played over the p.a. system and DDP, Buzz Sawyer and Koko B. Ware came out to a strong ovation. When they got to the bottom of the ramp, all three men made the Diamond sign and then did the 'Bang!' gesture as pyro went off on the stage.

Announcers noticed Koko still had the banana that Father Dutch threw at him on last week's episode of 'Slam!'. Pointed out that Koko has vowed to personally shove that banana down Father Dutch's throat. When they got in the ring, Koko flapped his arms like a bird and many in the crowd followed suit.

Good opener. DDP and Father Dutch opened the match as the legal men in the ring. Back-and-forth action between the two until DDP got the upper hand and dropped Father Dutch with a jumping DDT. With Father Dutch down, DDP tagged in an eager Koko B. Ware. Loudest pop of the match so far as Koko stepped into the ring with the banana in hand. As Father Dutch slowly made it to his feet, Ware peeled the banana. As father Dutch turned around, the crowd popped as Koko delivered on his promise to shove the banana down Father Dutch's throat. The joy was short-lived, however, when Grog hit the ring and nailed Koko with a double sledge to the upper back. Some near falls for both sides.

At the end of the match, Father Dutch and DDP were the legal men in the ring. Father Dutch managed to catch DDP in the Confessional (aka, rear naked choke). DDP fought not to submit. Koko hit the ring and broke up the hold by stomping on Father Dutch's head. That brought the Sacred Anvil into the ring and he jumped on Koko. Grog jumped in the ring and also went after Koko and that led to Buzz getting in the ring and helping out Koko. Buzz got the better of Grog and threw Grog over the top rope and down to the floor and followed Grog out. Koko whipped Anvil into the ropes and caught Anvil coming off with a high dropkick that sent Anvil crashing to the mat near the ropes and Anvil rolled out onto the apron and fell to the floor as Koko went out on the apron and, as Anvil got up and turned around, greeted Anvil with a flying clothesline off the apron that sent both men crashing to the floor. Crowd popped like it was 1985 at the Showboat Sports Pavilion for a night of AWA wrestling.

In the ring, DDP and Father Dutch had made their way to their feet and DDP nailed Father Dutch with a series of jabs. DDP went to whip Father Dutch into the ropes but Father Dutch reversed and DDP came off the ropes and leapt at Father Dutch but Father Dutch caught DDP under the legs, stepped back, dropped down and nailed DDP with a hot shot. DDP's neck snapped against the top rope and he crashed to the mat. Fight continued on the floor between the other four participants. Father Dutch went for the cover. 1...2... DDP kicked out. Father Dutch snapped DDP up and went to whip DDP into the corner but DDP reversed and sent Father Dutch crashing into the buckles. DDP followed Father Dutch into the corner but Father Dutch fell out of the way and DDP crashed hard front-first into the buckles. DDP staggered backwards and crashed to the mat. Both men down. Ref briefly went to check on DDP and Father Dutch took the opportunity to each into his pants pocket and brandish his small steel chain. Father Dutch started to get to his feet facing away from the ref. Ref started the 20-count on DDP. Father Dutch showed his chain-laden right fist right in front of the crowd. DDP recovering. Father Dutch turned around and moved towards DDP...WHAM!...crowd popped as DDP sprung up and blasted Father Dutch with the Diamond Cutter out of nowhere. DDP covered Father Dutch and hooked the leg. 1...2... Grog tried to desperately climb into the ring and break up the pin try but was tripped up by Koko B. Ware. ...3! Ref called for the bell as the fans cheered. Koko and Buzz got in the ring to celebrate with DDP as 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' played over the p.a. system. Koko led the trio in flapping their arms like a bird as some in the crowd did the same. The victors then left the ring and slapped hands with fans on the way back up the aisle.

WINNER: DDP, Koko & Buzz - Pinfall - DDP pinned Father Dutch with the Diamond Cutter - 10:14)

(Announcers discussed DDP, Koko and Buzz winning the opening match on 'Thunderstruck'. Hyped still to come: UWL World Title Match (Dusty Rhodes has guaranteed victory): Roddy Piper (WC) vs. Dusty Rhodes (The Firm); Arn Anderson vs. Firm Director Ted DiBiase; UWL World Tag Team Title Match: Hall & Nash (WTTC) (The Firm) vs. Lord Humongous & Missing Link; Wahoo McDaniel vs. Harley Race; Pres.

Match 2 (Non-Title)

Madusa (WC) vs. Awesome Kong (w/ Slick)

(Many fans not happy when it was announced that this was a non-title match.

'Cry of the Vatos' by Oingo Boingo blared over the p.a. system and out came Awesome Kong and her manager Slick. Slick was in a suit and wearing a fedora. Most of the crowd booed them.

'American Woman' played over the p.a. system and out came UWL Women's World Champion Madusa to a solid ovation. She had the title slung over her shoulder.

Kong started to climb back into the ring when Slick ordered her to get back down as the crowd booed. Kong came over and Slick had some more words with her. Madusa, tired of waiting, got a running start in the ring and nailed both Slick and Kong on the floor with a plancha as the fans roared. Kong and Slick crashed to the floor. Madusa down for a second herself but she got up, grabbed Kong as Kong was getting up and threw Kong back into the ring. Madusa climbed back in the ring as Kong was getting up.

Kong pulled Madusa up, whipped Madusa into the corner and followed Madusa in and blasted the champ with a big clothesline. Madusa limp in the corner.

Madusa to her feet as Kong extricated herself from the buckles. Kong turned around and Madusa greeted Kong with a spin kick that rocked Kong.

Kong whipped Madusa into the ropes and caught Madusa coming off with a gorilla press slam. Madusa hurting. Kong then went and stood with her foot on Madusa's throat. Madusa gasping for air. Kong broke the illegal move at the count of four. Kong then reached down, grabbed Madusa by the throat with both hands and raised Madusa into the air. Kong held Madusa by the throat for a moment before nailing Madusa with a two-handed chokeslam. Madusa slammed into the mat. Kong went for the cover. 1...2... Madusa kicked out. Kong got up and stomped away on Madusa and then pulled Madusa up by the hair. Kong said something to Madusa and then walked around the ring while pulling the champ around by the hair as the crowd booed. Kong then bodyslammed Madusa into position for a turnbuckle move. Kong went out on the apron and mounted the top turnbuckle. Kong came off looking to squash Madusa with a big splash from the top rope but Madusa rolled out of the way and Kong crashed to the mat. Both women down. Crowd buzzing. Both women made it to their feet at the same time. Madusa nailed Kong with a punch but Kong staggered Madusa with a slap up both sides of the head. Kong whipped Madusa into the ropes and looked to catch Madusa coming off with a clothesline but Madusa ducked the move and came back and stunned Kong with a spear. Crowd popped as Kong crashed to the mat. Madusa went out on the apron and mounted the top buckle as an unsteady Kong made it to her feet. When Kong turned around, Madusa pulverized the beast with a missle dropkick. Madusa covered Kong and hooked the leg. 1...2...2-3/4... Kong kicked out. Crowd groaned. Slick breathed a sigh of relief at ringside.

Kong got to her feet facing away from Madusa. Madusa came up behind Kong and attempted to nail Kong with her German suplex into a bridgeout. Madusa started to hoist Kong up for the suplex but Kong shifted her weight and collapsed on top of Madusa. Madusa crashed to the mat with Kong on top of her. OUCH! Both women down. Kong got to her feet as Madusa was still laying on the mat and in a world of hurt. Kong snapped up Madusa and hoisted Madusa up and blasted the champ with the implant buster (aka, double underhook facebuster). Madusa dead. Kong rolled Madusa over, covered her and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell and raised Kong's hand in victory. Slick got in the ring and was ecstatic as a scowling Kong looked down at the defeated Madusa.

Crowd booed Kong and Slick as they made their way back up the aisle as Madusa was still down in the ring.

WINNER: Kong - Pinfall - Implant Buster - 8:37)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson interviewed Dusty Rhodes of The Firm.

Dusty was sitting on a couch in The Firm's dressing room. He was still dressed in his street clothes and was picking at the fingernails on his left hand with his thumb.

LN: "Dusty, you have guaranteed victory tonight in your World Title match against Roddy Piper. You have guranteed that you will be bringing the title into The Firm fold. As we get closer to your match, are you still standing by that guarantee?"

DR: "I think after I beat Roddy Piper and become the new UWL World Champion the first thing I'm gonna do is get the most expensive manicure available. Larry Nelson, I stand by my guarantee. I have told Director DiBiase that I will make the UWL World Title the property of The Firm. It's gonna be a major victory in our war against the UWL. When we, and by we I mean all of The Firm, have possession of the most coveted title in our sport, the UWL is gonna be at our mercy. They know that when I win tonight they're gonna have to play ball with us. The World Title is power. And the UWL brass and all the wrestlers know that means we'll be calling some of the most important shots in the company. This is a major step towards our ultimate goal of one day taking over the UWL and controlling the whole show."

LN: "What happens on the off-chance that you don't win the belt tonight?"

DR: "I have made a gurantee and I will live up to that guarantee so losing is not an option and it's not gonna happen. The UWL is on edge about this situation. Piper's reign had to end one day. And that day is June 9, 2013 in Seattle, Washington. See that case of champagne sitting over there? That's champagne used to celebrate winning a championship. We wouldn't have it in here if we didn't believe the World Title was coming into The Firm's orbit. Tomorrow, the wrestling world awaken to a seismic shift in the UWL that will be in The Firm's favor. Then it will only be a matter of time until we're the bosses around here and all the wrestlers on the UWL side will answer to us."

LN: "Thank you for your time, Dusty."

DR: "Larry, the pleasure's been all yours.")

Match 8 (UWL World Tag Team Title Match)

Hall & Nash (WTTC) (The Firm) vs. Lord Humongous & Missing Link (w/ mgr. Dark Journey)

(Music-only version of 'Breaking The Law' by Judas Priest poured out of the p.a. system and out came Lord Humongous, Missing Link and Dark Journey to a huge ovation. Link slammed his own head into the ring post a few times and Lord got on the apron and climbed over the top rope into the ring and pounded his chest. Link got in the ring and started stomping around as Journey looked on from the apron.

After a brief pause, 'Money' played over the p.a. system and out came the champs Hall & Nash. They were carrying their titles. Mixed crowd reaction for the pair.

Hall and Nash charged to the ring , dropped the belts on the floor and hit the ring and immediately started brawling with Lord and Link. After a bit of back-and-forth, Lord and Link succeeded in driving Hall and Nash to the floor as the fans roared. Ref got everything settled down and was able to call for the bell to start the match.

Mainly a brawl between these two teams with all four men getting involved on a couple of occasions. Near falls for both sides but both teams staved off defeat. During the match, Nash teased going after Journey on the floor but Humongous short-circuited that sexual harrassment party by dropping Nash to the floor when he came off the apron and nailed Nash with a double sledge to the back. Hall and Nash took some shortcuts during the match, including Hall choking out Link with the tag rope; and Nash bashing Lord across the back with one of the TV monitors off the announcers' table out on the floor while the ref was distracted with Hall and Link in the ring. Link hit his quota of headbutts. Nash tried to powerbomb Link, but Lord made the save by bashing Nash with a forearm smash across the upper back and killed that spot dead.

At the end of the match, Hall and Lord were the legal men in the ring. Lord was on the offensive and had just dropped Hall with a brutal clothesline and then Lord ran to hit the ropes but Nash came down the apron and drove a knee into Lord's back. Lord no sold it and turned and looked at Nash. Nash was concerned. Lord grabbed Nash and the two started struggling with each other. Ref stepped in to try and break it up. David Schultz came down to ringside with a baseball bat in hand. He snuck up behind Link and drove the head of the bat into Link's lower back. Link fell off the apron and crashed to the floor. Journey came over to check on Link as Schultz slid the bat in to Hall. Schultz then fled the scene. Nash was able to separate from Lord and Nash kept the ref distracted by arguing with him as Hall raised the bat and prepared to bash Lord over the head with it. Lord turned back to Hall and Hall went to hit Lord with the hammer...WHAM!...Lord stopped Hall dead in his tracks with a kick to the face. Hall crashed to the mat and dropped the bat. Crowd went nuts. Nash stopped arguing with the ref and climbed into the ring as Lord was preparing to hoist Hall up. Nash went to go after Lord, but that was short-circuited as a recovered Link also hit the ring and blasted Nash with a skull-cracking flying headbutt. Nash crashed to the mat and rolled out on the apron aand dropped to the floor and Link followed Nash out. Lord hoisted Hall up for a gorilla press slam behind his back. Hall crashed face-first to the mat. Lord hit the ropes and came off with his diving splash to the back and turned Hall over and covered Hall without hooking the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell and the fans nearly blew the roof off the building.

Ref went over and took the titles from guest r.a. Capetta and also had a few words for Capetta. Nash was on a knee next to the apron and Hall was still down but had rolled over next to the ropes. Lord, Link and Journey now in the ring. Ref handed Lord and Link the belts as the crowd grew even louder. Journey was happy. Lord held his title over his head with both hands. Link looked at his belt for a moment and then started gnawing on the top part of the centerpiece of the belt. Journey got Link to stop. Ref raised Lord's and Link's hands in victory as the cheering continued.

Stack: "It looks like Dark Journey has finally made the Missing Link understand that when the ref wants to raise your hand that's a good thing!"

Capetta: "Wrestling fans! In a time of 9 minutes, 39 seconds, your winners...and NEW UWL World Tag Team Champions...Lord Humongous and The Missing Link!"

After a little more celebrating in the ring, mainly Lord walking around with the title over his head and Link looking at his belt and gnawing on it briefly a couple of more times, Journey led her men out of the ring. Lord and Link dropped to the floor and Journey jumped off the apron and Lord caught her by the hips and lowered her to the floor. Before heading to the back, Lord and Link looked at each other and Lord held up his belt with both hands. Link just looked at Lord. Lord then raised the belt above his head again and then pointed at Link. Link then went to take a bite out of the belt but Journey once again stopped him. Lord raised his belt a third time. Link started shaking his head in earnest that he now understood. Link then held his title up with both hands. Journey then led her men back up the aisle as Lord and Link walked all the way to the back with their belts held over their heads as they were serenaded with more cheers from the crowd.

WINNER: Lord & Link - Pinfall - Lord pinned Hall with the Diving Splash to the Back - 9:39)

(Announcers discussed Lord and Link winning the World Tag Team Titles from Hall and Nash of The Firm. Pedicino pointed out that The Firm was 0-3 in their matches on the show. Hyped still to come: UWL World Title Match (Dusty Rhodes has guaranteed victory): Roddy Piper (WC) vs. Dusty Rhodes (The Firm); and Arn Anderson vs. Firm Director Ted DiBiase.

('Money' played over the p.a. system and Rick Rude came out and made his way to the ring to a mixed crowd reaction.

Rude got in the ring and took the r.a. mic from Capetta.

RR: "What I would like right now...is for the hideous, disgusting creatures who call themselves men to remain seated and keep their traps shut while I show your women what a real man looks like!"

Rude removed his robe and placed his hands behind his head and gyrated his hips and then kissed his biceps.

'There's No Easy Way Out' by Robert Tepper played over the p.a. system. Out came Ken Patera to a solid crowd reaction. Patera came to the ring with his eyes locked on Rude.

Patera sat up in the ring and Rude nailed Patera with a low dropkick to the chest. Patera prone on the mat.

Rude moved in and grabbed Patera and looked to lock Patera into position for the Rude Awakening but Patera escaped Rude's grasp, maneuvered around and stunned Rude with a Russian legsweep. Patera backed up and waited for Rude to get to his feet. When Rude got up, Patera charged at Rude and attempted to catch Rude with the Russian Hammer but Rude ducked the move and spun around behind Patera and ran Patera into the ropes and rolled up Patera for a pin try while holding the tights. 1...2...2-1/2...

(Arn came to the ring first to the song 'The Fight' by Giorgio Moroder. He got a strong ovation.

'Money' played over the p.a. system and Firm Director Ted DiBiase made his way to the ring. DiBiase was dressed in his black tights, black boots and wearing a Firm t-shirt, which features a Thor's hammer on the front with 'The Firm' above the hammer and the words 'Prepare For War!' underneath the hammer. Mixed crowd reaction.

DiBiase got in the ring. Arn turned facing the crowd and started pulling on the ropes. DiBiase charged over and jumped Arn from behind. Ref called for the bell.

Ted got up and dropped an elbow smash into Arn's lower back. Arn hurting. Ted then went old school, dragged Arn away from the ropes and locked Arn in the bow and arrow submission hold. Arn once again had to fight through great pain. Ref asking Arn if he submitted but Arn vigorously shook his head 'no'. After keeping Arn locked in the hold for what seemed like an eternity to Arn, Ted let go of the hold and Arn fell helplessly to the mat.

Arn caught Ted with a kick to the gut and Ted's grip loosened on the chair. Arn kicked Ted again and Ted lost his grip on the chair.

As the ref checked on Arn, out on the apron and facing the crowd, Ted pulled his fingerless black glove from his tights and quickly placed it on his right hand and then mounted the top buckle and came off with black glove-laden fist drop try on Arn but Arn rolled out of the way and Ted crashed fist-first to the mat. Both men down. Ted holding his fist. Both men made it to their feet. Ted moved in and swung at Arn with his gloved fist but Arn blocked the punch and fired away on Ted with a series of punches, whipped Ted into the ropes and caught Ted with another spinebuster. This time, Arn made the throat-slitting gesture. Arn grabbed Ted and started to hoist him up for the gourdbuster when Ted grabbed the top rope with his hand and wouldn't let go.

(Video aired from last week's 'Slam!' of the three Anderson brothers fighting with the Nasty Boys and a fan coming out of the crowd to help the Nastys with the Anderson brothers and later in the program the 'fan' being revealed as pro wrestler Buzz Tyler, who confronted Ole, even though Ole had no idea who Tyler was, about Ole's mistreatment of him when he was just breaking into the business and Ole was already a big star and Pres.

Match 11

Nasty Boys & Buzz Tyler vs. The Anderson Brothers

(Ole, Gene and Lars Anderson came to the ring to a modest negative crowd reaction.

Nastys and Buzz came to the ring to a fair amount of cheers.

Crowd was burned out from the previous match, so not much fan reaction to this match as fans re-charged their batteries for the main event.

Short match. Ole and Tyler were only in the ring together for a brief period and neither gained a clear advantage when they locked up.

At the end of the match, Ole and Nasty Boy Sags were the legal men in the ring. Tyler and Knobs were fighting with Gene and Lars on the floor. Ole nailed Sags with the Divorce Court and then locked Sags in the cross armbreaker. Sags was briefly in the hold before tapping out. Ref called for the bell.

Ole wouldn't release the hold. Sags in great pain. Tyler had dropped Lars on the floor with a clothesline. Knobs and Gene were slugging it out in the aisle. Ole kept the hold locked on Sags. Tyler hit the ring and Ole quickly let go of the hold and got to his feet and Ole and Tyler were glaring at each other. Tyler clearly wanted a piece of Ole. After a few more seconds of staredown, Ole slowly left the ring and dropped to the floor as Tyler kept his eyes locked on Ole. The fighting had petered out between Gene and Knobs. Lars had recovered. Knobs was now in the ring and with Sags and Tyler. Lars and Gene met up with Ole at the entranceway aisle. Sags was standing and holding his left arm. As both sides stared each other down, it was Ole and Tyler that stood out. Camera caught shots of both men with steely eyed glares locked on one another.

WINNER: The Anderson Brothers - Submission - Ole forced Sags to submit to the Cross Armbreaker - 3:24)

Rhodes was in his black satin ring jacket with 'Dusty' written in red cursive lettering on the back, top hat, black tights and white cowboy-style wrestling boots. DiBiase was still in his black tights and boots and was wearing a Firm t-shirt again.

After a brief pause, bagpipe music filled the arena and the crowd erupted as World Champion Roddy Piper came out. Piper was in his kilt, t-shirt and ring boots. He had the title on around his waist. Piper didn't slap hands with fans on the way to the ring as this was war! Piper got in the ring and acknowledged the crowd with a subdued wave.

After Capetta announced the participants in the match, ref took the title from Piper and walked around to all four sides of the ring holding up the belt for all to see. Ref handed the belt off to Capetta and then called both men out to the middle of the ring. DiBiase came out with Rhodes. Piper and Rhodes stared at each other as the ref laid down the ground rules for the match and then patted each man down. Ref then sent each man to their corners. DiBiase had some final words with Dusty before leaving the ring and dropping to the floor.

Ref called for the bell.

Piper came out of his corner and Rhodes went over by the ropes and demanded the mic from r.a. Capetta. Rhodes took the mic.

DR: "Roddy Piper! We can do this the easy way or the hard way, jack! You can save yourself so much pain and embarrassment by just laying down on the mat and letting me pin you and take the World Title! I have guaranteed victory and it is going to happen tonight! At the end of this match the belt will be the property of The Firm! Let's do this the easy way, Roddy. How about it?"

Dusty extended his hand to Piper. Piper grinned and chuckled and held out his hand. Dusty smiled and was about to shake Piper's hand when Piper suddenly slapped Dusty hard across the face.

Ref tried to get Dusty to back off but Dusty ignored him. Dusty backed up and ran at Piper and jumped on Piper's back. Dusty then repeated the move. Piper draped over the middle rope and not showing much life. Dusty then went to do the move a third time and Piper moved and Dusty went through the top and middle rope and crashed to the floor. Piper recovered and dropped to the floor as Dusty was getting up. Ref started counting. DiBiase tried to sneak up on Piper and attack him from behind but Piper turned and stunned DiBiase with a punch and then turned and nailed Dusty with a punch. Both men stunned. Piper then went back-and-forth in punching each man in the chops. Piper finished things off by butting DiBiase's and Rhodes' heads together. DiBiase went down to the floor but Piper held Dusty up by the hair. Piper slammed Dusty's head into the ring post. Dusty went down on the floor. Piper climbed in the ring to break the ref's 20-count.

Stack: "It's obvious that Piper doesn't just want to retain the title, but he also wants to beat Dusty Rhodes and hand The Firm a devastating defeat!"

Piper dropped back to the floor as Dusty was now on his knees and bleeding. Fans in the crowd chanted 'Blood! Blood! Blood!' Piper went to whip Dusty into the ring steps but Dusty reversed and sent Piper crashing into the steps. Piper down next to the steps. Rhodes went over to the timekeeper's table and grabbed the World Title. Capetta tried to wrest the title from Dusty but Dusty just shoved Capetta back into his seat and took the belt.

Dusty struggling in the hold. DiBiase pounding the mat and urging Dusty on. Dusty fought in the hold but started to weaken. Dusty started to desperately move around while still in the hold. Piper now had the hold locked in with his legs around Dusty's waist. In a final act of desperation, Dusty wildly lunged towards the bukles. Unfortunately, the ref was standing in front of those buckles and Dusty, with Piper on his back, crashed full-force into the buckles. Ref slumped down in the corner. Dusty now free of Piper's sleeper. Dusty turned around and Piper popped Dusty with some more punches and went to whip Dusty into the ropes but Dusty reversed and went to nail Piper with a clothesline of his own but Piper ducked the move and came back and plowed through Dusty with the spear. Crowd popped as Dusty crashed to the mat.

DiBiase pulled his fingerless black glove out of his tights and slid it on and got in the ring as Piper went over to pull up Rhodes. DiBiase spun Piper around and blasted Piper with a glove-laden right to the jaw. Piper went down and was holding his jaw. Ref still down in the corner. DiBiase snapped Piper up and blasted Piper with the Billion Dollar Blaster and then Dusty crawled over and covered Piper as DiBiase went over and grabbed the ref out of the corner and dragged him over by Rhodes and Piper. Ted left the ring and dropped to the floor. Groggy ref counted. 1.....2...... Piper kicked out. DiBiase was beside himself. Ref now back in the match but moving slower...even slower than Bronco Lubich! Dusty got to his feet and waited for a shaky Piper to make it up. When Piper got up, Dusty moved in and blasted Piper with a series of rapid-fire bionic elbows to the top of the head. Piper really staggered. Dusty then sent Piper hurtling to the mat with his double sledge to the side of the face. DiBiase picked up on a mic.

TD: "Finish him off!"

Capetta: "Wrestling fans! In a time of 17 minutes, 28 seconds, your winner...and STILL UWL World Champion...'Rowdy' Roddy Piper!"

Camera shot showed a hurting DiBiase and limping Rhodes making their way back up the aisle and then cut back to Piper celebrating in the ring as the program faded to black.

UWL 'SLAM!' WRESTLING - EP. 125 - SPOKANE, WA - SPOKANE ARENA - 6-11-13 (Live)

(Pics aired to open the show from 'Thunderstruck' of the Roddy Piper-Dusty Rhodes UWL World Title match; Ted DiBiase-Arn Anderson match; and the Hall & Nash vs. Lord Humongous & Missing Link UWL World Tag Team Title Match.)

(Show Intro)

(Crowd Shots/Pyro)

(Announcers Steve Stack and Joe Pedicino welcomed viewers and ran down the program: UWL World Champion Roddy Piper is here; The Firm makes an appearance; TV Main Event: Ken Patera vs. Kevin Nash (The Firm); Re-Match from last week: Harley Race vs. 'Superstar' Graham; Buzz Tyler makes his 'Slam!' wrestling debut; new TV Champion Rip Oliver is here; new World Tag Team Champions Lord Humongous & Missing Link stop by; Nasty Boys vs. Adrian Adonis & Rick Rude (The Firm); Buzz Sawyer vs. The Sacred Anvil; and more.)

(In-ring: Camera shot of a huge silver cup standing on a table in the ring. The cup had two handles.

'Born in the USA' played over the p.a. system and Pres. Watts made his way

to the ring with mic in hand. As Watts came to the ring, pics aired from 'Thunderstruck' of his match with Greg Valentine that Valentine won by forcing Watts to submit to the figure four.

Watts limped to the ring.

BW: "As you can see, I'm not walking well right now. Unfortunately, I didn't beat Greg Valentine at 'Thunderstruck'. I had dedicated the match to my good friend Steve Williams. I talked with Steve after the show and apologized for not being able to win the match for him. Steve told me that he was proud of the battle I gave Valentine. And Steve wanted me to pass along a message to all you fans. His recovery from his broken ankle is on schedule and he will be returning to the UWL in the very near future. And when he returns, he will be facing Greg Valentine in a match!"

Crowd cheered.

BW: "You'll notice the silver cup to my left. This cup has some great history behind it. Because of the great rating our previous 2-1/2 hour edition of 'Slam!' did on May 21st, FX has cleared us to do it again on July 9th. And this cup will be on the line that night. This is the Crockett Cup. The Crockett Cup was a tournament held by Jim Crockett Promotions in which teams battled to not only win the cup, but also take home $1 million dollars. Teams that have won the Crockett Cup are: The Road Warriors, Dusty Rhodes and Nikita Koloff, and Lex Luger and Sting. I am proud to announce that we are resurrecting the Crockett Cup tournament on the July 9th edition of 'Slam!'. Eight teams will vie for this trophy and, instead of $1 million dollars, the winning team will take home $2 million dollars! That's $1 million dollars for each member of the winning team! And that's not all! Both members of the winning team will each get a title match of their choosing! They will pick the time, date and the place for those championship bouts!

"Six of the eight teams will be comprised of wrestlers currently in the UWL! The other two spots are open for teams outside of the UWL! We're already in discussions with several team who want the chance to win the cup and take home $2 million bucks! Next week, we'll announce the two non-UWL teams that will be in the Crockett Cup on July 9th!

"We've got a great show lined up for you tonight! So let's get ready to hook 'em up!"

'Born in the USA' played again and the crowd gave Watts a decent ovation as he left the ring and headed to the back.)

(Announcers talked about the resurrection of the Crockett Cup on the July 9th 2-1/2 hour special edition of 'Slam!'. Said Buzz Sawyer battles the Sacred Anvil next!)

Match 1

Buzz Sawyer vs. The Sacred Anvil

('Delirious' by ZZ Top played over the p.a. system and Buzz Sawyer made his way to the ring. Sawyer slapped hands with fans and barked on the way to the ring as the fans barked back.

The Sacred Anvil charged down the aisle and blasted Sawyer from behind

with a clothesline to the back of the neck. Sawyer crashed to the floor. Anvil grabbed Sawyer and whipped Sawyer into the apron. Sawyer crashed back-first into the apron. Anvil laid into Sawyer with some head shots and then threw Sawyer into the ring.

Ref called for the bell.

Anvil took the match early and tried to put Sawyer away a couple of times but Sawyer escaped defeat. Sawyer was then able to duck an Anvil clothesline attempt and came back dropped Anvil with a flying shoulder tackle. Buzz then had the advantage and tried to finish off the Anvil but he failed to do so.

At the end of the match, Buzz was on the offensive and blasted Anvil with his big elbow off the top rope. Grog came charging down to ringside as Buzz went for the cover. 1...2... Anvil kicked out as Grog jumped up on the ring apron. Ref went over and ordered Grog off the apron. Buzz got up and went over and he and Grog started fighting with each other. As the ref was distracted with Grog and Buzz, Father Dutch came down to ringside and tossed his small chain to the Anvil. Buzz got the upper hand in the punch fest and then rammed Grog's head into the ring bolt that connects the top turnbuckle to the ring post. Grog crashed to the floor. Father Dutch then climbed into the ring and Buzz saw him and started to go after Father Dutch but the ref stepped in and kept Buzz from going after Father Dutch. The ref ordered Father Dutch out of the ring. Father Dutch climbed out on the apron and was having words with the ref as Buzz set his sights back on the Anvil, who was now on his feet. Buzz went to punch the Anvil but Anvil blocked the punch and caught Buzz flush in the jaw with a chain-laden right fist. Buzz crashed to the mat and was holding his jaw. Anvil tossed the chain out on the floor. Dutch suddenly stopped arguing with the ref and dropped to the floor. Ref turned and saw Anvil hoisting Buzz up across his shoulders. Anvil then nailed Buzz with the forward fireman's carry slam (aka, the Wasteland). Anvil covered Buzz and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell. Ref raised Anvil's hand in victory.

WINNER: Anvil - Pinfall - Forward Fireman's Carry Slam - 6:32)

(After the match: Anvil then left the ring and dropped to the floor and went over and took the r.a. mic from Lee Marshall.

Anvil: "I want all you heathens to shut the hell up because a man of God has something important to say!"

Pretty loud boos.

Anvil: "The Good Lord laid it on my... Hey! Shut the fu... hell up!"

Anvil glared at the crowd as the boos continued.

Anvil (screaming): "The Lord laid it upon my heart to call my finishing move that you just saw the Holy Roller! And you people are all going to Hell!"

More boos as Anvil threw the mic down and walked over to where Father Dutch and Grog were. Father Dutch blessed Anvil and the three then made their way back up the aisle to boos.)

(Announcers discussed Anvil beating Sawyer thanks to help from Father Dutch and Grog. Also pointed out that neither DDP nor Koko B. Ware were at the show. Said new TV Champion Rip Oliver is here next!)

(Video aired for the 'Bean-O Presents: Heatwave' PPV - Sunday - August 18 - Glendale, AZ - Jobing.com Arena - 8pm E/5pm P - Tickets on sale Saturday, June 29 @ 10am PST!)

(Pics aired of Rip Oliver defeating Hugh Morrus and re-gaining the TV Title and forcing Hugh out of the UWL at 'Thunderstruck'. Video then aired from after the match of the fans giving a teary eyed Hugh a polite ovation and chanting his name as Hugh acknowledged the fans one last time.)

(In-ring: Oliver came to the ring to his new entrance song, 'Bad To The Bone'. He was in street clothes, had the TV belt slung over his shoulder and was carrying a mic. He was mainly booed but also had his core of fans.

Oliver walked around in the ring for a moment and took the in crowd reaction. He had a sly smile on his face.

RO: "It is a beautiful day today. And do you know why that is? Of course you do. 'Thunderstruck' was the last match for Hugh Morrus in the UWL. I beat him...and now he's gone for good. As I drove to the arena tonight I was beaming. Knowing that I'll never see that cretin Hugh again, man, it's like living in a world with eternal sunshine. When everything was on the line, I knew that Hugh would fail. He was nothing without me by his side. And I proved that on Sunday at Key Arena. A major cancer has been cut out of the UWL body. For quite a while, I'm gonna savor my ending of Hugh Morrus's UWL career. The thought of that guy now having to go stand in the unemployment line to get a paycheck makes me laugh with great delight. Now it's time to move..."

HM: "Hold it right there, Rip!"

Crowd seemed stunned by Hugh Morrus walking out on the entrance stage with mic in hand. Rip stunned as well.

RO: "What the hell are you doing here?! I beat you! You're banished from the UWL! Get out of here!"

Pres. Watts limped out on the entrance stage to virtually no response.

BW: "Rip, you're right. You defeated Hugh at 'Thunderstruck' and he has to leave the UWL. I talked to Hugh yesterday. He says he wants to come back for just one final match in the UWL. He believes that things haven't truly been settled between you two..."

RO: "What?! Things were settled at 'Thunderstruck'! I won! Hugh lost! It's good riddance, Hugh!"

BW: "Considering the history between you two, I felt Hugh's argument made sense. Now, I've never done anything like this before. I'm a strong believer in wrestlers living up to match stipulations. But I'm gonna make an exception in this case."

RO: "Making special rules just for Hugh, eh, Watts?! Well, the only way Hugh can ever survive in this sport is if he keeps getting chance after chance! So, what's this great match idea for Hugh's, I hope, UWL swan song?!"

HM: "Rip! Things just didn't feel finished between us with that match Sunday..."

RO: "Feelings. Nothing more than...feelings. OK. Enough of this crap. I will only agree to this match if it is indeed Hugh's last match in the UWL."

BW: "Rip, you do know that if you don't accept the match that I can punish you with a suspension or fine."

RO: "Watts, go ahead and fine and suspend me! I want a gaurantee that this will be Hugh's final UWL match and UWL appearance!"

HM: "Rip, I guarantee you that after the match I will not be returning to the promotion."

BW: "This will be it for Hugh."

RO: "If you two are being on the level with me, then I agree to the match."

BW: "Then it's agreed upon. Next week here on 'Slam!', Hugh Morrus will be wrestling his final UWL match against his main rival Rip Oliver! And the match will be a barbed wire cage match!"

Crowd cheered the news.

RO: "You know what? After hearing that, I'm already counting the days until next week. Hugh, the going away present I'm going to give you is one you will never forget. I'm gonna send you out of the company a battered, bloody, cut up mess."

HM: "Ripper! I know this match is gonna get real ugly! It promises to be extremely violent! But it's the kind of match needed between you and me to bring closure to our feud! And I intend to close out my UWL career on a winning note!"

Decent crowd repsonse as Hugh and Rip did the long-distance staredown.)

(Announcers discussed Watts allowing Hugh to come back for one more match against his main rival Rip Oliver. Said Buzz Tyler sees action next!)

(Video aired from last week of the Lars Anderson vs. Nasty Boys Sags match where Gene and Ole came to the ring and attacked Knobs and Sags out on the floor and a fan left his seat, jumped the ringside barricade and helped the Nasty Boys fight the Andersons and both sides wondering who the fan was and the fan heading to the back with the Nasty Boys.

Video then aired from a locker room interview backstage with the fan.

VIDEO (edited):

Backstage: Larry Nelson was standing with the Nasty Boys and the fan who came to their aid.

LN: "I have got to ask this. Who are you? You come out of the seats and help the Nasty Boys. Are you friends with them?"

Fan: "I didn't know the Nasty Boys personally until just a few minutes ago. But I think you can say that we've become fast friends. My name is Buzz..."

The Anderson brothers came barging into the locker room.

Ole (furious): "We demand to know who the hell you are?! You just come out of the stands and start fighting with us! What's your problem, buddy?!"

Fan: "The name's Buzz Tyler."

Ole and Tyler looked at each other for a moment.

Ole: "So what?! Why did you do what you did out there?!"

Tyler: "You don't remember me do you, Ole?"

Ole: "No! Should I?!"

Tyler: "When I was breaking into the wrestling business you were already a big star. I walked up to you in the locker room the first time I saw you and introduced myself. You just blew me off. What I saw over time was that you were the big shot of the locker room. You were the superstar. And because of your status, you felt you had the right to treat the undercard guys and the new guys like me like garbage. I also remember the liberties you would take in the ring with guys just breaking into the business. I saw you hurt guys just because you were Ole Anderson and you could get away with it. Well, one of those rookies you took advantage of was me. Happened in a small arena in Georgia. It was one of my first matches.

"Since then, we've gone our separate ways in wrestling over the years. But I've never forgotten what you did to me that night in the ring. When I saw you walk out to the ring it made my blood boil, but I wasn't going to do anything. Then, you and your brothers ganged up on the Nasty Boys and there was no way I was gonna let that slide sitting just 10 feet from ringside. Now I'm here; face-to-face with a man I've wanted to get into the ring again with for years so I could get a little payback."

Ole: "Let me tell you something, what's your name again?!"

Tyler: "Buzz Tyler."

Ole: "Well, Buzz Tyler, I don't remember you! But if, as you say, I did

stretch you in a match one night years ago, I did it because that was the way newcomers into our business paid their dues! You had to show you were tough and could handle the unforgiving nature of this sport! I stand here and I proudly proclaim that I sent a lot of rookies packing from the wrestling business because they couldn't take the hard knocks! When I started, wrestlers were trained to be tough guys! If you weren't tough then you were gone! The name on the marquee says 'professional wrestling'! You say you want some sort of revenge against me?! I have no problem...none...stepping back into the ring with you!"

Pres. Watts walked into the locker room with a clipboard in hand.

BW: "Ole, I have been talking with Buzz Tyler since he came backstage with the Nasty Boys. I looked into his background and he is who he says he is. Like you, he has established himself in this business. Buzz, because this is such short notice, I have here in my hand a temporary 30-day contract to wrestle here in the UWL starting immediately. If you'll just sign it."

Buzz took the contract and signed it and handed it back to Watts and Watts shook Buzz's hand.

Ole and Buzz looked at each other as the segment ended.)

Match 2

Buzz Tyler vs. Jeff Raitz

(Tyler came to the ring to the song 'Flirtin' With Disaster' by Molly Hatchet. He got a modest crowd reaction. Buzz slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring.

Buzz took 80% of the match and finished off Raitz by having Raitz tap to the Kimura Lock.

WINNER: Tyler - Submission - Kimura Lock - 4:14)

(After the match: Lee Marshall interviewed Buzz Tyler.

LM: "Buzz Tyler, I must say that was an impressive debut here on 'Slam!'. Where did you get that finisher?"

Tyler: "The finisher is called the Kimura Lock. I've picked up quite a few moves in my career just like Ole Anderson has. And a lot of those moves are submission moves. I know Ole is primarily a submission wrestler himself. A match between us would be very interesting. Ole, I know you're watching this. I'm not the young kid breaking into the business that you manhandled in the ring several years ago. You couldn't get in the ring with me now and take the liberties you did back then. You couldn't stretch me like you did that night in that arena in Georgia. The next time we meet, Ole Anderson, you're gonna be in for one hell of a fight! Like I said, I've got ohter submission moves in my arsenal that I didn't reveal in this match tonight! But the move I want to lock you in is the Kimura Lock! I don't think Ole has ever had that hold put on him before! But when I put it on him, and it will happen, the old stretcher might just become the stretchee!"

More cheers for Buzz leaving than when he came to the ring.)

(Announcers discussed Tyler gunning for Ole Anderson. Hyped still to come: UWL World Champion Roddy Piper is here; The Firm makes an appearance; TV Main Event: Ken Patera vs. Kevin Nash (The Firm); Re-Match from last week: Harley Race vs. 'Superstar' Graham; Nasty Boys vs. Adrian Adonis & Rick Rude (The Firm). Said the new World Tag Team Champions Lord Humongous & Missing Link stop by next!)

(Pics aired from 'Thunderstruck' of Lord Humongous and Missing Link defeating Hall & Nash of The Firm and becoming the new UWL World Tag Team Champs. Announcers said that 'Thunderstruck' was now available on PPV replay.)

(In-ring: Lee Marshall i'viewed new UWL World Tag Team Champs Lord Humongous, Missing Link and Dark Journey.

Crowd erupted when the music-only version of 'Breaking The Law' blared over the p.a. system.

Lord, Link and mgr. Dark Journey came out on the entrance stage. The hockey goalie mask-wearing Lord, green, yellow and blue face-painted Link and Journey made their way to the ring. Lord and Link had the titles hanging by their sides. Link slammed his head into the ring post and Lord climbed up on the apron and climbed over the top rope into the ring and Link climbed into the ring. Journey then followed her men into the ring.

LM: "Dark Journey! As you can tell by the reaction of these fans, they are ecstatic that Lord Humongous and The Missing Link defeated Hall and Nash of The Firm two days ago to become the new UWL World Tag Team Champions! How are you feeling right now?!"

DJ: "Lee, I think I can speak for all three of us when I say that we are still basking in the glow of our victory at 'Thunderstruck'. These men stepped into the ring with one of the greatest tag teams in the world and they took Hall and Nash's best shot and still came out on top. They are truly..."

Journey looked over and saw Link starting to gnaw on the top of the centerpiece of the belt again.

DJ: "No, no. No, no. You hold or wear the belt. You don't snack on it. Lord, show him how it's done."

Lord held his title in the air with both hands. Link looked at Lord briefly and then started to snack on the belt again when Journey stopped him once more and pointed at Lord. Lord still had the belt held high above his head.

DJ: "Look. Look at Lord. OK."

Link looked at Lord holding the belt over his head and then looked back down at his belt and then Link finally held the belt up over his head. Lord then lowered his belt and Link followed suit. Lord then raised the title back over his head and Link did the same thing. Lord and Link were looking at each other with belts raised. Lord then lowered his belt again and Link mirrored Lord again. Lord then raised the belt above his head again and...you guessed it...Link did what Lord did.

Mixed crowd reaction as Hall and Nash came out on the entrance stage. Both were in their ring attire and each had a mic.

Nash: "I don't believe this!"

Lord, Link and Journey looked over at Hall and Nash.

Nash: "We lost the World Tag Team Titles to a couple of idiots! Tag team wrestling has been set back to the stone age! I want everyone out here to know that Scott Hall and Kevin Nash are gonna get those titles back! No matter what it takes, we intend to bring tag team wrestling back into the 21st century!"

Hall: "Hey yo! Dark Journey, man, you must feel like you're running a daycare or something managing those two! Morons doesn't even begin to describe them! Lord Humongous and Missing Link are a disgrace to this sport! It's like freakin' Piltdown Man and Nebraska Man are the champions! Jeez! The good news is that we have a re-match clause; and we're gonna trigger that re-match clause real soon!"

DJ: "Hall and Nash. You mock them. You insult them. Say whatever you want. They're the World Tag Team Champions now. And winning the titles back from Lord Humongous and Missing Link is gonna be one tall order. They might not be the smartest guys in the world..."

Nash: "Ya think?! I don't think we're gonna see Lord Humongous and Missing Link on 'Jeopardy'!"

DJ: "As I was saying, they might not be the smartest men in the world. But, as was shown at 'Thunderstruck', they know how to wrestle. And now they're the champions and you're challengers again. 'Nuff said."

Hall: "Challengers now! But champions again tomorrow! Do they even really know they're the champions! I mean, Missing Link there seems to think the belt is something that should be served up with a baked potato and vegetable medley! In the long run, their stunted evolution is going to work against them, man! They haven't evolved upstairs! We're always thinking! They're always reacting because it's all they know how to do! And the modern day thinkers will beat the primitive reactors the next time we meet!"

Link left the ring and started to head up the aisle towards Hall and Nash. Journey and Lord left the ring and stopped Link from going after Hall and Nash.

Nash: "Look at that! Link is reacting because that's all he knows how to do! Hey, Link! How many fingers am I holding up?!"

Nash flipped off Link with his right middle finger. Link moving around like a caged tiger on the floor as Lord helped Journey try to calm Link down.

Nash: "Journey, tell your neanderthals not to use the belts as a main course because we want them back in pristine condition when the time comes!"

Journey had had enough. She simply pointed at Hall and Nash and Lord and Link started walking towards the pair with the titles raised to use as weapons on the former champs. Hall and Nash started backing up as Lord and Link got closer and then Hall and Nash turned and bolted off the stage and Lord, Link and Journey followed them to the back.)

(Announcers discussed the confrontation between Hall and Nash and the new World Tag Team Champs Lord and Link. Hyped still to come: UWL World Champion Roddy Piper is here; The Firm makes an appearance; TV Main Event: Ken Patera vs. Kevin Nash (The Firm); Nasty Boys vs. Adrian Adonis & Rick Rude (The Firm). Said the re-match from last week: Harley Race vs. 'Superstar' Graham was coming up!)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson interviewed Ken Patera.

LN: "Ken, tonight you're facing Kevin Nash of The Firm. The war between the UWL and The Firm seems to be hotter now than it's ever been."

KP: "The war between the UWL and The Firm has never been hotter! You win some battles and you lose some battles in a war! But we on the UWL side continue to fight the good fight! There will be no surrender from us! Kevin Nash is a giant of a man! But it's not the size of the warrior in the fight! It's the size of the fight in the warrior! I am bound and determined to do my part to make sure The Firm never seizes control of this company! And like King David, I'm gonna topple The Firm's Goliath tonight!")

(Video aired from last week's 'Slam! of Wahoo costing Harley Race his match with 'Superstar' Graham. Pics then aired from the match between Harley and Wahoo at 'Thunderstruck'. Announcers said PPV replays were now available.)

Match 3

Harley Race vs. 'Superstar' Graham (w/ Grand Wizard)

(Music only version of 'Turn The Page' by Bob Seger played over the p.a. system and out came Harley Race to his new entrance music. Harley got a good response coming to the ring. Harley didn't slap hands with fans on the way to the ring but did briefly acknowledge them once in the ring.

After a brief pause, 'California Dreamin' played and out came 'Superstar' Graham and his manager the Grand Wizard. Graham was wearing his 'I AM A PROFESSIONAL!' t-shirt and tie-dyed ring attire. Wizard was wearing his tie-dyed tux, gold turban, white shoes, sunglasses and was carrying his gold-tipped black cane.

Match was a back-and forth battle between the two with some near falls. Graham took a couple of shortcuts during the match.

At the end of the match, Graham was on the offensive. Graham popped Race with some punches and then whipped Race into the ropes and caught Race in the 'Superstar Squeeze' (aka, bearhug). Race was not in the hold for long before he nailed Graham with a headbutt that stunned Graham. Race repeated the move and Graham's grip loosened. Race popped Graham with a third headbutt and broke out of the hold. Race then hit a fourth headbutt that sent Graham crashing to the mat. Race then locked Graham in the Indian Deathlock. Graham in great pain and trying not to submit. Graham fought his way incrementally to the ropes and was able to get his arm draped over the outside of the middle rope to force a break in the hold. Race got up and Graham was still down. As the ref checked on Graham, Grand Wizard climbed into the ring and prepared to nail Race with his cane when Race turned and stopped Wizard dead in his tracks. Race ripped the cane out of Wizard's hands and was glaring at Wizard as Graham made it to his feet behind Race. Graham charged and Race and went to nail him with a big running clothesline when Race saw Graham at the last second and fell out of the way and Graham obliterated his manager the Grand Wizard. Wizard crashed to the mat as the crowd popped like a pus-filled boil. Race tossed the cane to the floor and got up as Graham turned around. Graham went to punch Race but Race blocked the punch try and nailed Graham with a couple of more headbutts. Race then whipped Graham into the ropes and caught Graham coming off with the belly-to-belly suplex. Race then hoisted Graham up and blasted him with the piledriver and then covered Graham and hoooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell as the fans gave Race a stellar ovation.

WINNER: Race - Pinfall - Piledriver - 7:44)

(After the match: As Race was having his hand raised in victory, Wahoo, in street clothes, charged down to the ring and picked up the Wizard's cane off the floor and climbed into the ring and bashed Race across the back with it. Race turned around and Wahoo shattered the cane over Race's head. Race crashed to the mat. Wahoo stood with part of the broken cane in his hand over Race for a moment before tossing the cane part aside and leaving the ring to loud boos. Race down and holding his head in the ring.)

(Announcers discussed Race beating Graham and Wahoo assaulting Race with Wizard's cane after the match. Hyped still to come: UWL World Champion Roddy Piper is here; TV Main Event: Ken Patera vs. Kevin Nash (The Firm); Nasty Boys vs. Adrian Adonis & Rick Rude (The Firm. Said The Firm is here next!)

(Pics aired from the UWL World Title match between champion Roddy Piper and Dusty Rhodes and Piper defeating Rhodes causing Rhodes' guarantee of victory to go up in smoke.)

('Money' played over the p.a. system and out came six members of The Firm to a mixed crowd reaction. All six were in their ring gear. DiBiase and Nash had mics.

The group soaked in the crowd reax for a moment.

Ted: "I am not a happy camper today. While my victory over Arn Anderson at 'Thunderstruck' was one for the ages, someone didn't fulfill their duties on Sunday. As you can see, that member of The Firm is not with us tonight. I sent Dusty Rhodes home after he failed to beat Roddy Piper and bring the World Title into the possession of The Firm. Dusty had guaranteed me he was going to win the belt at 'Thunderstruck'. When you promise me that you're going to do something then by God you'd better do it. Dusty didn't just let himself down; he let The Firm down. And that is unacceptable. In the next few weeks, I'll decide the future of Dusty Rhodes with The Firm. But right now, it's best that he keeps his distance from all of us. Some of the men you see here in the ring with me wanted to take Dusty out to the parking lot after the match and dish out a little rough punishment on him. I had to talk them out of it. And believe me, that was no easy task. All things will be resolved on this matter in due time.

"On the positive side, next week here on 'Slam!', I am going to introduce the newest member of the elite faction in the sport. He's a big man and he takes no prisoners. That's all I'll say right now. He's definitely Firm material. He'll be a welcome addition. The Firm will have shored up its base a little bit more when he joins the fold. We may be outnumbered in our war with the UWL. But when you look at the soldiers we have recruited and are recruiting to our side you see a winning team."

Nash: "Ken Patera! I heard your interview earlier! You said that you were gonna be like King David and topple The Firm's Goliath tonight! Well, you'd better bring the highest powered slingshot imaginable and a whole lot of rocks into our battle if you intend to get the job done!"

Rude took Nash's mic.

Rude: "Nasty Boys! You've got a match coming up with the 'Ravishing One' and Adrian Adonis! You guys talk about nasty-sizing your opponents! Well, we in The Firm are the innovators of nasty! No matter how nasty you guys think you are...we'll be even nastier than you could ever hope to be! You're gonna be introduced to a whole new definition of nasty!"

'Money' played over the p.a. system and the group briefly played to the crowd before leaving the ring and heading to the back to a mixed crowd reaction.)

(Announcers discussed Rhodes not being with The Firm tonight and an unhappy DiBiase informing everyone they'll have a decision on the fate of Rhodes with The Firm in the coming weeks. Said The Nasty Boys vs. Rude & Adonis (The Firm) was coming up!)

(Announcers intro'd a video of an upcoming PPV in 2014 that promises to be the biggest in the history of the UWL.

VIDEO:

Video faded in of an overhead shot of Boston, MA as 'Thunderstruck' by AC/DC played. Picture sped up and and the overhead shot came to a stop above Fenway Park. The words: 'Thunderstruck' - June 2014 - Boston, MA - Fenway Park! Visit uwlslam.com for more info!)

Match 4

The Nasty Boys vs. Adrian Adonis & Rick Rude (w/ DiBiase) (The Firm)

(Nastys came to the ring to their new entrance music 'Ballroom Blitz' by Sweet. They got a decent ovation coming to the ring.

Adonis, Rude and DiBiase came to the ring to 'Money' by Pink Floyd. They got the usual mixed crowd reax they always get. Rude didn't get to do his usual pre-match disrobing routine due to time constraints.

Match was a Nasty Boys' match as it was a brawl and the Nastys came to fight. DiBiase never interfered.

At the end of the match, Rude and Knobs were the legal men in the ring. Knobs was on the offensive. Knobs drove Rude next to the ropes with a series of punches. Knobs whipped Rude into the ropes and caught Rude coming off with a flying lariat. Rude crashed to the mat. Rude made it to his feet and Knobs grabbed Rude and nailed him with a bodyslam that set up a turnbuckle move. Knobs went out on the apron and mounted the top buckle. The girthy Knobs came off with a leg drop but Rude rolled out of the way and Knobs crashed to the mat. Rude got his feet just as Knobs was getting up. Rude moved in and blasted Knobs with the Rude Awakening. Rude covered Knobs and hooked the leg. Sags hit the ring to break up the pin but was intercepted by Adonis who kicked Sags in the stomach and then pounded away on Sags. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell as Adonis threw Sags out of the ring. Rude got to his feet and the ref raised both men's hands in victory as DiBiase got up on the apron and applauded his men. Rude then placed his hands behind his head and did his hip gyrations over the downed Knobs before the winners left the ring and joined Director DiBiase at ringside and headed back up the aisle.

WINNER: Adonis & Rude - Pinfall - Rude pinned Knobs with the Rude Awakening - 6:09)

(Announcers discussed Rude and Adonis beating the Nastys. Said UWL World Champion Roddy Piper was here next!)

(In-ring: UWL World Champion Roddy Piper promo.

Bagpipe music filled the arena and the crowd popped big-time as Piper came out. He was in his kilt, t-shirt, ring boots and had the title around his waist. He had a mic.

Piper slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring. Once in the ring, Piper briefly played to the crowd.

RP: "If Dusty Rhodes ever gives you a guarantee you'd better think twice before accepting it! I heard that some bettors took a financial bath because they put everything on Dusty! Too bad! Hope you have the money to pay off your bookies or Frankie and Guido might be paying you a visit! And you know what that means...crack! (Piper made the gesture with his hands of a bone snapping.) Now, poor Dusty has to deal with the wrath of his boss, Ted DiBiase! I think it's safe to say that Dusty is losing some serious sleep right now! I don't think this is gonna turn out good for that blowhard! Dusty might want to consider entering the federal re-location program so he can live out the rest of his life in some peace! That is unless he's found by The Firm!

"Hey! I have some pictures of what Dusty might look like if he needs to change his appearance for safety reasons!"

Picture popped up on the JumboTron of Dusty with a handlebar mustache and monacle.

RP: "He could try the Snidley Whiplash with a monacle look or..."

Next picture popped up of Dusty with long hair and a long beard and mustache.

RP: "...he could go for the Russian in winter look! How about this?!"

Next picture showed Dusty made up like a woman.

RP: "Dusty could change his name to 'Dustina' and get a sex change! Damn! He's one ugly woman, isn't he?! If all women looked like that, the human race would die out! Next, we have this!"

Next picture showed Dusty with a bald head and goatee and Fu Manchu mustache.

RP: "Look! It's Dusty Fu Manchu! And finally, I've saved the best for last!"

Picture showed Dusty with his skin darkened and a huge afro and wearing a basketball jersey.

RP: "Hey! Is it Dusty Rhodes or an NBA player from the '70s?!"

Crowd laughed.

RP: "I'm having too much fun tonight right here in Spokane, Washington!"

Crowd cheered.

RP: "On a more serious note, however, the war between the UWL and The Firm is escalating like it never has before! I harbor no illusions! The Firm will continue their assault on me because they want the World Title! Ted DiBiase is a man you must take very seriously when he speaks! The setback they suffered at 'Thunderstruck' in the World Title match will only make The Firm more determined! We know their goals! They're blatant about them! They will ratchet up their attack and look for anything to give them the advantage! The Firm will stoop to the seventh level of Hell to try and get what they want! But I'm here to say that we on the UWL team will meet them in Hell if we have to to make sure that they don't get this title and they don't achieve their final solution of seizing control of the entire company!

"But enough about that! With you fans standing strong with the UWL, I am confident that we will NEVER see the day when The Firm rules the UWL! I love you Spokane! Thank you!"

Fans cheered and chanted 'Roddy! Roddy!' as bagpipe music played as Piper went and stood on two middle buckles and held the title aloft before leaving the ring and slapping hands with fans on the way back.)

(Announcers discussed the Piper promo. Hyped still to come: Ken Patera vs. Kevin Nash (The Firm).)

(Video aired for the Crockett Cup Tag Team Tournament.

VIDEO:

Video opened with a black screen and the picture gradually faded in to a shot of the silver Crockett Cup bathed in a white spotlight.

Narrator (Van Earl Wright): "For one night, eight tag teams will vie for the most coveted prize in tag team wrestling, the Crockett Cup. Who will win the Cup and $2 million dollars? Which team will win the chance to challenge for the UWL titles of their choosing?

"Find out when the UWL presents the Crockett Cup Tag Team Tournament! LIVE! On a special edition of 'Slam!' Tuesday! July 9th! With a special start time of 8:30pm Eastern and Pacific! Only on FX!")

Match 5

Ken Patera vs. Kevin Nash (w/ DiBiase)

(Nash and DiBiase came to the ring to 'Money' by Pink Floyd. They received a mixed crowd reaction.

Patera came to the ring to the song 'There's No Easy Way Out' by Robert Tepper. He got a good ovation coming out.

Patera climbed into the ring and Nash immediately pounced and started hammering away on Patera. Ref called for the bell to start the match.

Nash pounded on Patera a little more and then whipped Patera into the ropes and looked to catch Patera coming off with a clothesline but Patera ducked the move and came back and dropped Nash with the Russian Hammer. Crowd popped big-time. Patera moved in and locked Nash into the full neslon but Nash was able to fight over by the ropes and grab the top rope to force a break in the hold. Patera nailed Nash with some punches and then Nash came back with a clubbing forearm across Patera's upper back. Nash went to whip Patera into the ropes but Patera reversed and nailed Nash coming off with a flying shoulder tackle. Nash went down and got up and Patera nailed Nash with another flying shoulder tackle that sent Nash down once more. Patera for the cover. 1...2... Nash kicked out. Patera grabbed Nash and started pulling Nash up by the hair and Nash stunned Patera with a shot to the jaw. Nash got to his feet and nailed Patera with a few more punches and then whipped Patera into the buckles. Nash moved in and blasted Patera with a series of elbow strikes to the side of the head and then started choking Patera out with his boot. Nash broke the illegal choke at the count of four. Nash then repeated the move and broke once more at four. The ref turned his back on Patera and signaled for Nash to back up. Nash backed up and had words with the ref. While that was going on, DiBiase reached into the ring and yanked Patera's left leg out from under him. Pater crashed to the mat face-first. As Nash kept the ref distracted, DiBiase grabbed Patera's legs and nutted Patera into the ring post. DiBiase backed off and Nash suddenly stopped having words with the ref. With Patera down, Nash stomped on Patera's head a couple of times and then pulled Patera's head up off the mat. Nash said something to Patera and then slammed Patera's face into the mat. Nash then placed his boot on the back of Patera's head and pressed Patera's face down into the mat. Ken flailing as the ref counted. Nash removed his boot from Ken's head at the count of four. Nash snapped Patera up, whipped Patera into the ropes and caught Patera coming off with a kick to the gut.

Nash then hoisted Patera up for the jack-knife powerbomb finisher but as Nash got Patera up, Patera nailed Nash in the head with a series of punches. Nash crashed to the mat with Patera on top of him. Patera went for the cover and hooked one of Nash's legs. 1...2... Nash got a shoulder up. Crowd groaned. Patera popped the downed Nash with some head shots, pulled Nash to his feet, whipped Nash into the ropes and caught Nash coming off with a double sledge to the chest. Nash crashed to the mat. Patera for the cover and again hooked the leg. 1...2...2-3/4... Nash kicked out. Patera grabbed Nash and whipped Nash into the buckles. Patera charged at Nash in the corner and went for the running shoulder block but Nash moved and Patera slammed shoulder-first into the post. Patera extricated his shoulder from the post and turned around and Nash nailed Patera with another kick to the gut. Nash then blasted Patera with the jack-knife powerbomb. Nash covered Patera and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell. Ref raised Nash's hand as DiBiase climbed into the ring to congratulate his man.

WINNER: Nash - Pinfall - Jack-Knife Powerbomb - 5:55)

(After the match: Scott Hall came to the ring with mic in hand. Patera still down. Hall got in the ring.

Hall: "Hey, Kev! I want in on the fun with our boy, Patera, too!"

Nash gestured for Hall to go ahead. Ref tried to intercede but was intimidated away by Nash.

Hall put the boots to the downed Patera, snapped Patera up, whipped Patera into the ropes and caught Patera coming off with the Hallinator (aka, Rock Bottom). Patera laid out. All three Firm members then engaged in a boot party on the helpless Patera. Crowd popped when tag champs Lord Humongous, Missing Link and World Champ Roddy Piper charged to the ring. Hall, Nash and DiBiase bailed just as the championship trio hit the ring. Piper, Lord and Link looked down at DiBiase and crew on the floor and a staredown ensued between the two sides as the program faded to black.)

UWL 'SLAM!' WRESTLING - EP. 126 - SPOKANE, WA - SPOKANE ARENA - 6-18-13 (Taped)

(Show Intro)

(Crowd Shots/Pyro)

(Show opened with a shot of the barbed wire steel cage hanging above the ring.)

(Announcers Steve Stack and Joe Pedicino welcomed viewers and then ran down the program: Hugh Morrus Farewell Match in a Barbed Wire Cage: Hugh Morrus vs. Rip Oliver (TVC); The Firm introduces their newest member; an interview with Harley Race; Kevin Nash vs. DDP; the revealing of the two non-UWL tag teams taking part in the Crockett Cup on the July 9th 'Slam!'; Greg Valentine makes an appearance; Ole Anderson sees action; and more!)

(Pics aired from 'Thunderstruck' of Awesome Kong defeating Madusa in a non-title match.)

Match 1

Awesome Kong vs. The Canadian

('Cry Of The Vatos' by Oingo Boingo played over the p.a. system and Kong and mgr. Slick came to the ring to pretty strong boos.

The Canadian was a masked wrestler already in the ring.

Canadian suprised Kong off the bat with a series of dropkicks and held serve early before Kong took over and dominated the rest of the affair. Kong finished off The Canadian with an implant buster (lifting double underhook facebuster) to score the 1...2...3!

WINNER: Kong - Pinfall - Implant Buster - 3:36)

(After the match: Lee Marshall interviewed Slick and Kong.

LM: "Another impressive victory for Awesome Kong. Slick, your woman beat Madusa at 'Thunderstruck' in a non-title match. Do you think she's now the #1 contender for the Women's World Title?"

Slick: "Lee Marshall, ba-by! You are looking at the uncrowned champion in Awesome Kong! She is the #1 contender! But you'll be removing the 'contender' and replacing it with 'champion' very soon! She is unstoppable! Look at her! No woman wrestler out there can stand up to her brutal, relentless assault in this ring! And that includes Madusa as was proven at 'Thunderstruck'!"

LM: "Madusa's a pretty tough customer, Slick. She gave as good as she got in that match at 'Thunderstruck' but Kong pulled out the win."

Slick: "Ooooooooooooh! Madusa may be tough in her own right! But she's not Awesome Kong tough! And that's the difference! The two ladies will meet again with the title on the line! Madusa will give Kong a fight! But the end result will be the same as it was at 'Thunderstruck', pops!"

LM: "Awesome Kong, what say you?"

AK (deep, menacing voice): "What I say is that Madusa's World Title reign is as good as over. What everyone saw just nine days ago will be repeated very shortly. And when, not if, when I become the Women's World Champion, the era of Kong will begin. And it will be an era of leaving mangled female wrestlers' bodies by the wayside.")

(Announcers discussed Kong winning and her and Slick's confidence that Kong will win the title the next time she and Madusa meet. Hyped still to come: Hugh Morrus Farewell Match in a Barbed Wire Cage: Hugh Morrus vs. Rip Oliver (TVC); The Firm introduces their newest member; an interview with Harley Race; Kevin Nash vs. DDP; the revealing of the two non-UWL tag teams taking part in the Crockett Cup on the July 9th 'Slam!'; Greg Valentine makes an appearance; Ole Anderson sees action; and more!)

(Coming back from the commercial break, an angry Ken Patera, in street clothes and holding a mic, was stalking around the ring.

Stack: "Ken Patera was not scheduled to be on the program tonight. But he showed up during the break and got into the ring. Let's listen to what he has to say."

KP: "In case you people didn't see what happened after my match with Kevin Nash last week, take a look at this video!"

Video aired from last week of Scott Hall of The Firm coming to the ring after Nash had defeated Patera and Hall laying out Patera with a Hallinator (aka, Rock Bottom) and DiBiase, Hall and Nash then assaulting Patera until Piper (WC), Lord Humongous & Missing Link (WTTC) made the save.

KP: "Scott Hall! I know you're back there! Get out here!"

After a brief pause, Hall, in street clothes, made his way out onto the entrance stage with mic in hand.

Hall: "What's the matter, Ken?! You don't seem too happy, chico!"

KP: "You know damn well why I'm not happy! You guys in The Firm...it never ends! The group assaults just keep on coming! But that's never going to stop me from fighting you guys to the bitter end in this war! And tonight, Scott Hall, I want you in our own personal little war in this ring!"

Crowd cheered.

Hall: "You really want a war with me, Ken?! You think you can handle it, man?! I mean, you keep fighting us and you keep feeling our wrath over and over and over! I think you're a masochist, Ken! I think you like getting beaten up by us! It's like a fetish for you!"

KP: "What my fetish is, Scott, is waging war with The Firm until you guys are no longer with this company!"

Lee Marshall then interrupted.

LM: "Scott Hall and Ken Patera. I have just gotten word in my earpiece that President Watts will allow the match between you two to happen tonight!"

Crowd cheers as Hall and Patera did the long distance staredown.)

(Video aired for the 'Bean-O Presents: Heatwave' - Sunday - Aug. 18 - Glendale, AZ - Jobing.com Arena - 8pm E/5pm P - Tickets on sale Saturday, June 29 @ 10am PST!)

(Video aired from last week of Buzz Tyler making his 'Slam!' in-ring debut and beating his opponent with the Kimura Lock. Video also aired Tyler's post-match comments:

Tyler: "The finisher is called the Kimura Lock. I've picked up quite a few moves in my career just like Ole Anderson has. And a lot of those moves are submission moves. I know Ole is primarily a submission wrestler himself. A match between us would be very interesting. Ole, I know you're watching this. I'm not the young kid breaking into the business that you manhandled in the ring several years ago. You couldn't get in the ring with me now and take the liberties you did back then. You couldn't stretch me like that night in that arena in Georgia. The next time we meet, Ole Anderson, you're gonna be in for one hell of a fight! Like I said, I've got other submission moves in my arsenal that I didn't reveal in this match tonight! But the move I want to lock you in is the Kimura Lock! I don't think Ole has ever had that hold put on him before! But when I put it on him, and it will happen, the stretcher might just become the stretchee!")

Match 2

Ole Anderson vs. Sam Houston

(Ole came to the ring to ring entrance music for the first time in the UWL. The song was 'Al Var Alda' by Wardruna. Ole now also sported a black satin ring jacket with the symbol of life rune on the back with the name 'Anderson' written above the rune. The jacket also had rune symbols on the sleeves.

Sam gave a Ole a battle and came close to upsetting Ole during the match but couldn't finish the job. In the end, Ole took complete control and finished off Sam with the cross armbreaker. Ole's music started playing again. After Sam tapped, the ref called for the bell but Ole wouldn't release the hold. Ole tightened up on the submission hold and Sam furiously pounded the mat in agony. Ole wouldn't let go. Ref called for he bell to be rung again but Ole paid no heed to it. Ole kept the hold locked on. Sam in dire pain. Ref called for the bell a third time and Ole ignored it once more. Modest crowd pop as Lash LaRue, with whip in hand, charged to the ring. Lash hit the ring and Ole broke the hold on Sam's arm and bailed to the floor as Lash was prepared to crack Ole with the whip.

Sam down on the mat and writhing in agony while holding his left arm. Ref had a brief discussion with Lee Marshall.

LM: "Ladies and Gentlemen! I have just been informed by the referee that because Ole Anderson refused to break the hold on Sam Houston, the referee is reversing the decision and awarding the match to Sam Houston by disqualification."

It was a hollow victory for Sam as Lash helped Sam to his feet in the ring as Sam continued to clutch his left arm. Ole just took it all in from the floor before turning and heading back up the aisle to his Norse-inspired entrance music.

WINNER: Houston - DQ - Ole wouldn't let Sam out of the cross armbreaker after Sam had tapped out - 5:19)

(Announcers discussed Ole losing via reverse decision to Sam Houston. Hyped still to come: Hugh Morrus Farewell Match in a Barbed Wire Cage: Hugh Morrus vs. Rip Oliver (TVC); Scott Hall vs. Ken Patera; The Firm introduces their newest member; Kevin Nash vs. DDP; the revealing of the two non-UWL tag teams taking part in the Crockett Cup on the July 9th 'Slam!'; Greg Valentine makes an appearance. Said an interview with Harley Race is coming up!)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson interviewed Rip Oliver in the locker room. Oliver was in his ring attire and had the TV belt slung over his shoulder.

LN: "Rip, tonight's your final match with Hugh Morrus as he prepares to leave the UWL. What are your thoughts going into the barbed wire cage this evening?"

RO: "Let's clarify something for these dolts out here sitting on their asses, drinking beer and eating fat-heavy foods. I beat Hugh Morrus at 'Thunderstruck'. Not only did I regain the TV Title, the stipulation was that the loser of the match was supposed to leave the UWL. Hugh just can't walk off into the sunset like the loser he is. Instead, he comes back and begs President Watts for one last match with me. And Watts violates the very stipulation he allowed for our match nine days ago in Seattle and gives Hugh a farewell match. Well, let me tell you this. Hugh Morrus is leaving the UWL for second time. And it will be just like it was the first time at 'Thunderstruck'. Hugh Morrus is leaving this promotion a loser. And he'll be a bloodied and battered loser after I get through cutting him up on that unrelenting barbed wire.")

(Video aired from last week of Race beating 'Superstar' Graham and Wahoo coming to the ring, grabbing the Grand Wizard's cane and shattering it over Race's head after the match leaving Race laid out.)

(In-ring: Lee Marshall interviewed Harley Race.

Race came to the ring in street clothes and to the strains of the music-only version of 'Turn The Page' by Bob Seger.

Race got a decent ovation coming to the ring but did not slap hands with fans along the way. Once in the ring, Race briefly acknowledged the crowd.

LM: "Harley, a lot of things have changed for you recently. You've broken away from JJ Dillon. The crowd reaction for you is now one of cheers instead of loud boos. But, even though you beat Wahoo McDaniel at 'Thunderstruck', it's obvious that he has every intention of remaining a thorn in your side."

HR: "A lot has indeed changed for me in the past several weeks, Lee. But one thing that will never change is the fact that JJ Dillon will always be a douchebag."

Crowd popped.

HR: "As for the cheers of these fans, I appreciate them, but I won't grovel for them. I've been in this business a long time and I'm very set in the way I do things. I'll always be the Harley Race you've always seen. That will never change. I march to the beat of my own drummer. You fans know how I am. Take it or leave it. Like I said, I appreciate the cheers, but I will never go begging for them like some in this business do.

"Now, Wahoo McDaniel. I've still got a little bit of a headache from where Wahoo bashed me over the head with that cane last week. Wahoo, you sent a message last week that this situation between you and I isn't over. The only thing I can say is that if you want to meet in this ring again, you just let me know where and when and I'll be there. It looks like neither one of us has gotten that full pound of flesh from the other yet. And this feud between us could wind up leaving both of us with quite a few battle scars when all is said and done."

Crowd cheered as Race's music played and he left the ring and made his way back up the aisle and still didn't slap hands with fans.)

Match 3

DDP vs. Kevin Nash (w/ DiBiase & Hall) (The Firm)

(DDP came to the ring to the music-only version of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'. DDP got to the bottom of the ramp, made the Diamond sign and then did the 'Bang!' gesture as pyro went off on the stage. DDP slapped hands with fans along the way to the ring.

Once in the ring, DDP repeated the Diamond sign/'Bang!' gesture.

'Money' played over the p.a. system and out came Nash, DiBiase and Hall of The Firm. DiBiase was in a suit and Hall was in street clothes. Trio got a mixed crowd reax coming to the ring.

Once they got in the ring, DDP went out on the floor and took the ring announcer's mic from Lee Marshall.

DDP: "I knew this was gonna happen! I knew that Kevin Nash wouldn't be alone! So... come on out, boys!"

Decent pop as Buzz Sawyer and Koko B. Ware, both in street clothes, came to ringside. The Firm trio looked on at the pair from the ring.

DDP gave Nash a fight. At one point during the match, DDP had been tossed out to the floor by Nash and DiBiase and Hall got a few shots in as Nash distracted the ref in the ring before Buzz and Koko came to DDP's aid. Hall and Nash had a stand-off on the floor with Buzz and Koko as DDP made his way back into the ring. At a later point in the match, Nash was tossed to the floor by DDP and the crowd popped as Buzz and Koko got in their licks on Nash as DDP distracted the ref before DiBiase and Hall came to Nash's aid. Hall and Nash had words on the floor with Buzz and Koko.

At the end of the match, Nash was on the offensive. Nash nailed DDP with a reverse side slam and then snapped DDP up and whipped DDP into the buckles and charged in and looked to nail DDP with a clothesline in the corner but DDP moved and Nash slammed front-first into the buckles. Nash turned around and DDP kicked Nash in the gut and nailed him with the Diamond Cutter as the crowd popped. Nash down. Hall hit the ring and DDP turned and saw Hall and kicked him in the gut nailed Hall with a Diamond Cutter as well. Hall went down and rolled over next to the ropes. Crowd now really loud. Buzz went over and started brawling with DiBiase and Koko dragged Hall out of the ring to the floor and started popping Hall with punches. Crowd eating it up. DDP went for the cover on Nash and hooked the leg. 1...2...2-1/2... Nash kicked out. Nash started to get up and DDP moved in and nailed Nash with punches and went to nail Nash with a jumping DDT but Nash grabbed the top rope and held on and DDP crashed to the mat. Fight continued on the floor. DDP got up and Nash dropped DDP with a boot to the face. DDP crashed to the mat. Nash then grabbed DDP, hoisted DDP and blasted DDP with the jack-knife powerbomb. Nash covered DDP and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell. Fighting on the floor continued a little longer and then petered out. Ref raised Nash's hand in victory. Koko and Buzz hit the ring as Nash was leaving. Koko and Buzz checked on DDP as Nash joined up with DiBiase and Hall on the floor and DiBiase and Hall each raised a hand of Nash's in victory before turning and heading to the back to a mixed crowd reaction.

WINNER: Nash - Pinfall - Jack-Knife Powerbomb - 7:19)

(Announcers discussed Nash beating DDP. Hyped still to come: Hugh Morrus Farewell Match in a Barbed Wire Cage: Hugh Morrus vs. Rip Oliver (TVC); Scott Hall vs. Ken Patera; The Firm introduces their newest member; the revealing of the two non-UWL tag teams taking part in the Crockett Cup on the July 9th 'Slam!'. Said Greg Valentine is coming up!)

(Announcers intro'd video of a new female wrestler coming to the UWL.

VIDEO:

Video showed a woman whose face was bathed in green light. She was clearly wearing white pancake make-up and Alice Cooper-style black make-up around her eyes and mouth. They showed the face from different angles as she laughed hystrically. The laughs echoed as the picture froze and these words appeared on the screen: 'Daphne is coming to the UWL!')

(Announcers discussed the wild and crazy Daphne coming to the UWL. Then sent it to the ring.)

(In-ring: Greg Valentine and Gary Hart promo.

'All Along The Watchtower' by Jimi Hendrix played over the p.a. system. Valentine and Hart came to the ring. Hart was in a suit and Valentine was dressed in street clothes. Crowd booed their appearance but they also had a small core of fans. Both had mics.

They got in the ring and soaked in the crowd reax for a moment.

GV: "I didn't beat President Watts at 'Thunderstruck'. No, I destroyed President Watts at 'Thunderstruck'! To those of you who aren't total cheapskates and who shelled out the money to see the pay-per-view, you saw what I did to Watts! He was fighting that match for his friend 'Dr. Death' Steve Williams! Not only did Watts let his buddy down! He got his ass kicked by me! I had really hoped to book a double occupancy room at the Ankle Break Hotel for Watts to share with Steve Williams! But sometimes, we can't have everything! I still took a great deal of satisfaction seeing Watts limp to the ring on 'Slam!' last week! Hey! Who am I?!"

Valentine started limping around the ring.

GV: "Hahahaha!"

Hart: "Steve Williams, if you've got President Watts fighting your battles for you while you're on the shelf then I think you need to pick better friends. Greg Valentine has come back to the UWL with a bang. He is showing every wrestler in the company that he means business. And if it takes breaking bones to get the job done then he will do it..."

Pres. Watts, walking normally this week, came out on the entrance stage with mic in hand. Modest crowd reaction.

BW: "Greg Valentine, it pains me to say that you beat me at 'Thunderstruck'."

GV: "Don't forget to add that I made you tap out in the figure four!"

BW: "That did happen. Anyone who watches the video can see that. But, I came out here to tell you that Steve Williams wanted me to inform you that next week on the program, he will have a special video message directed to you."

GV: "Let me guess what the mesage from Williams will be: 'Greg Valentine! I'm healing a little more every day! I'm coming back sooner than you think! And when I come back, brother, I'm gonna make you pay for breaking my ankle! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!' Hahaha!"

Hart: "You do a mean Steve Williams."

BW: "Make all the jokes you want. When he does come back, Greg, he is gonna get his hands on you and there will be hell to pay. Then, things won't seem as funny to you two."

Valentine and Hart looked on at Watts as the segment ended.)

(Announcers discussed Watts saying that Williams has a special video message for Valentine next week.

Said Scott Hall (The Firm) vs. Ken Patera was coming up!)

(Announcers then intro'd video of the first non-UWL team in the Crockett Cup, the International Wrestling Alliance* World Tag Team Champions Barry Windham and Brian Pillman.

VIDEO:

Video opened with footage of Pillman and Windham in action in the IWA.

Pic then flipped to Windham and Pillman in street clothes with the belts slung over their shoulders. They were standing in front of the IWA logo. Each had a mic.

Windham: "Hello UWL! We're Barry Windham and Brian Pillman! We are the International Wrestling Alliance World Tag Team Champions! When we were contacted by UWL official Chris McClain about coming to the UWL for one night to compete in the Crockett Cup Tag Team Tournament, there was no way we could turn down the offer! The Crockett Cup is the most prestigious trophy in all of tag team wrestling anywhere in the world! You win it, and it means you're the best tag team out there! We know there's gonna be great competition from all the teams competing in the tournament! But, I'd be lying if I didn't say that the $2 million dollar prize is a very big added incentive to compete in the Crockett Cup! Throw in the chance to challenge for any UWL title if you win the Cup, man, that package is quite a prize for the winners!"

Pillman: "For those who don't know me, I'm the Pillman in the Pillman-Windham tag team! Me and Barry are coming to the UWL for the chance to make history! To join teams like the Road Warriors and Dusty Rhodes and Nikita Koloff and have our names added to the Crockett Cup is the opportunity of a lifetime! The competition will be fierce and stiff! We're gonna have to be at our best to win three matches in one night on the July 9th 'Slam!' But these belts show that we're one of the best teams in the wrestling world today! We won the IWA World Tag Team Titles through hard work and dedication to our craft! And we're gonna work hard to win the Crockett Cup and that, whoo, $2 million dollar prize that comes with it! And just like Barry, I would love to come the UWL at a later date and challenge for one of their titles! We'll see you great UWL fans on July 9th!")

(Announcers discussed the Windham-Pillman promo. Said Patera vs. Hall (The Firm) was next!)

(Video aired from earlier in the program of an angry Patera challenging Hall to a match and Watts making the bout.)

Match 4

Ken Patera vs. Scott Hall (w/ DiBiase)

(Patera came to the ring to the song 'There's No Easy Way Out' by Robert Tepper. He got a good ovation coming to the ring. Patera slapped hands with fans along the way.

Hall and DiBiase came out to the song 'Money' by Pink Floyd. They received a mixed crowd reaction.

Slugfest between these two as you could feel Patera's rage during the match. At one point during the match, DiBiase tossed a small rope into the ring behind the ref's back. When DiBiase got the chance, he distracted the ref as Hall strangled Patera with the rope.

At the end of the match, Hall was on the offensive. Hall nailed Patera with a fallaway slam and went for the cover. 1...2... Patera kicked out. Hall grabbed Patera and started to pull Patera up when Patera caught Hall in a small package. 1...2... Hall kicked out. The two men got up and Hall stunned Patera with a slap upside the head that stunned Patera. Hall then locked Patera into position for the Hallinator (aka, Rock Bottom). Patera nailed Hall with a series of elbow strikes to the side of the head and freed himself from Hall's grasp. Patera then hoisted Hall over his shoulder and nailed Hall with a running powerslam. 1...2...2-1/2... Hall kicked out. Crowd groaned. Patera snapped up Hall and whipped Hall into the buckles and charged in but Hall caught Patera with both feet to the face. Hall moved out and nailed Patera with some more head slaps and then dropped Patera with the discus punch. Patera down. Patera got to his feet, turned around and walked right into Hall catching him by the throat. Hall popped Patera with a chokeslam. Hall for the cover and hooked the leg. 1...2...2-7/8... Patera kicked out. Crowd buzzing. Patera started getting to his feet and Hall caught Patera with a kick to the side of the ribs. Hall whipped Patera into the ropes and looked to catch Patera coming off with a clothesline but Patera ducked the move and came back and caught Hall with the Russian Hammer. Nash, still in his ring attire, charged down to ringside and hopped up on the apron. Patera turned and saw Nash and charged over and blasted Nash with a forearm shiver to the side of the head. Nash toppled off the apron and crashed to the floor. One of the loudest pops of the night. Hall made it to his feet and Patera nailed Hall with a flying forearm shiver to the side of the head. Hall crashed to the mat. Patera grabbed Hall in the full nelson position and nailed Hall with the full nelson slam. Patera for the cover and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell as fans cheered.

A disappointed DiBiase looked on from the floor. Ref raised Patera's hand in victory and then Patera left the ring and slapped hands with fans on the way back up the aisle.

WINNER: Patera - Pinfall - Full Nelson Slam - 8:08)

(Announcers intro'd the video hyping the Crockett Cup on July 9th!

VIDEO:

Video opened with a black screen and the picture gradually faded in to a shot of the silver Crockett Cup bathed in a white spotlight.

Narrator (Van Earl Wright): "For one night, eight tag teams will vie for the most coveted prize in tag team wrestling, the Crockett Cup. Who will win the Cup and $2 million dollars? Which team will win the chance to challenge for the UWL titles of their choosing?

"Find out when the UWL presents the 'Crockett Cup'! LIVE! On a special edition of 'Slam!' Tuesday! July 9th! With a special start time of 8:30pm Eastern and Pacific! Only on FX!")

(Backstage: Larry Nelson interviewed Hugh Morrus.

LN: "Hugh, you lost the Loser Leaves the UWL TV Title match to Rip Oliver at 'Thunderstruck'. But tonight, you've got one final match with your main rival before you bid farewell to the UWL. What are you thinking right now as you prepare for your last match here that's in a barbed wire cage?"

HM: "Larry, before I answer your question, I just wanted say thank you to all the awesome UWL fans out there. Your support for me since I split from Rip OIiver in early 2012 has been beyond my wildest dreams. I never imagined myself being a guy who got cheered during his matches. But you fans made that a reality and for that I will be forever grateful. It's been a great run for me here in the UWL and you fans have played a key role in making it great. Thank you.

"Rip Oliver, you and I have had a hell of a run together in the UWL. We've been joined at the hip since the organization's debut on January 25, 2011 in Everett, Washington. We had an eight month run as the tag champs. We then parted company. We've had some wild battles with each other. And in the end, you beat me at 'Thunderstruck' and ended my UWL career. But something just didn't sit well with me. Things just didn't feel completed after that match nine days ago. I talked with President Watts last week and he graciously allowed me to come back for one final match. He didn't have to do it, but he did. Thank you, President Watts. This match tonight, it's closure on my feud with Rip Oliver. Win or lose, I know this is it for me in the UWL. It's hard to say goodbye. But this is the way it should be done."

LN: "Hugh, thank you for what you've done for the UWL during your time here. Good luck in the future."

Hugh shook hands with Larry.

HM: "Thank you, Larry.")

(Announcers discussed Hugh's final interview in the UWL. Hyped Hugh's UWL Farewell Match in a Barbed Wire Cage: Hugh Morrus vs. Rip Oliver (TVC).)

(In-ring: The Firm introduces a new member.

'Money' played over the p.a. system and out came six members of The Firm. Dusty Rhodes was not with them for the second straight week. Hall looked a little sore coming off his defeat to Patera a few minutes earlier. DiBiase was in a suit. Hall, Nash and Adonis were in their ring attire and Schultz and Rude were in street clothes. They received a mixed crowd reaction.

The group got in the ring. Only Ted had a mic.

TD: "Ken Patera. Enjoy your victory over Scott Hall. You win some and you lose some in this business. Just know this, Patera, in the end you're gonna be one of the biggest losers in the UWL when we seize control of the company.

"As you can see, for the second straight week, one member of The Firm is not with us. I am getting close to rendering a decision on the fate of Dusty's future with The Firm. When the decision happens it will take place right here on 'Slam!' The world will know what happens to Dusty Rhodes. The only contact that Dusty has had with any member of The Firm is with me. And it was brief conversation and I told him not to show up to 'Slam!' this evening for his own well-being and I'll let him know when he can show his face around us again.

"I promised you people that I would reveal the newest member of The Firm tonight. He is here. I decided we needed a little heft in our ranks. This big man knows how to take care of business. And he's being brought in to clean up some messes for The Firm. Like the goon on a hockey team, this man will be our goon. He's not being brought in to win titles. He's coming in to take out the UWL trash.

"Without any further ado, I give you the newest member of The Firm...'Bam Bam' Bigelow!"

'Money' played over the p.a system and out walked Bigelow on the entrance stage. He was wearing a black t-shirt with the sleeves cut off, black jeans and black biker boots. He had a menacing sneer on his face and a flaming tattoo on his head. Garbage was thrown at Bigelow as he came to the ring. Mixed crowd reaction.

Bigelow got in the ring and high-fived and embraced members of The Firm. Bigelow then stood next to DiBiase. Music stopped.

TD: "Let it be known loud and clear! To all the UWL wrestlers...this man is here to hurt YOU!"

Bigelow scowled as 'Money' played over the p.a. system again as DiBiase raised Bam's arm victoriously to a mixed crowd reax. Some garbage throw at the ring.)

(Announcers discussed Bam Bam Bigelow being announced as the newest member of The Firm. Hyped still to come: Hugh Morrus Farewell Match in a Barbed Wire Cage: Hugh Morrus vs. Rip Oliver (TVC).)

(Announcers announced the second non-UWL team for the Crockett Cup, from Icons of Pro Wrestling* the team known as The Destroyers and manager Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan.

VIDEO:

Heenan, in his famous black suit, was standing in front of The Destroyers, who were in the full ring attire including their trademark masks. Heenan had a mic. They were standing in front of the IPW logo.

Heenan: "Listen up, all you humanoids out there! In case you don't know who I am, and that would be hard to believe, my name is Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan! And the two men you see standing behind me are the team I manage, The Destroyers! There is no team in all of wrestling that lives up to their name like The Destroyers do! They're called The Destroyers precisely because they destroy, you dummies!

"A few days ago, as I was lounging by the pool at my palatial estate in Beverly Hills, that's in Southern California for all you ham-and-egger UWL fans out there, I got a call from the UWL! They wanted The Destroyers to be a part of their big Crockett Cup Tag Team Tournament! They told me that the winners get the prestigious Crockett Cup silver trophy and I said: 'Um-hmmm...' Then they told me that the winners also get to challenge for the UWL titles of their choosing and I said: 'OK.' And then they said that the winning team also gets $2 million dollars in prize money and I said: 'What day do you need us in the UWL?!'

"All the other teams in the tournament are gonna be in for quite a shock when they step into the ring with The Destroyers on July 9th! I don't care who it is! None of them have ever faced a team like this before! With their destructive power wrestling and my brilliant managerial mind guiding them, The Destroyers are gonna leave a path of destruction in their wake on the road to winning the Crockett Cup! And I'm gonna enjoy my 70% cut of the loot!"

Destroyers turned their heads and looked at Heenan after that last remark as the video faded to black.)

(Announcers discussed The Destroyers and Heenan being the second non-UWL team in the Crockett Cup tournament on the July 9th edition of 'Slam!' that will have a special start time of 8:30pm E/P.)

(* IPW and the IWA are fictional organizations that were created by a friend of mine.)

(Announcers then intro'd a video tribute to Hugh Morrus. Video re-capped Hugh's 2-1/2 years in the UWL to the song 'I Will Remember You' by Sarah McLachlan.)

Match 5 (Hugh Morrus' Farewell Match: Barbed Wire Cage - Non-Title)

Hugh Morrus vs. Rip Oliver (TVC)

(The cage was the 'Armageddon' cage used at last year's 'Helloween' PPV. It's similar in size to the Hell In A Cell cage minus the top cover and there is barbed wire strewn through the steel mesh.

Announcers said they would air to the match to its conclusion.

Hugh Morrus came to the ring first to a strong ovation. Hugh slapped hands with fans along the way to the cage. Hugh got in the ring and acknowledged the crowd to more cheering and chants of 'Hugh! Hugh!'

'Bad To The Bone' by George Thorogood played over the p.a. system and Rip Oliver made his way to the ring with the TV Title slung over his shoulder.

Both men wrestled wearing t-shirts.

As soon as Rip stepped into the cage, Hugh bolted the ring and attacked Rip. Rip dropped the belt on the floor. Ref called for the bell and the cage door was closed. Crowd cheered as Hugh pounded away on Rip and then threw Rip head-first into the barbed wire cage. Rip staggered off and Hugh grabbed Rip and threw him head-first into another part of the barbed wire cage. Rip went down on the floor. Hugh went over and picked up the TV Title as Rip regained his bearings. Hugh came over and waited as a now bleeding Rip got to his feet. Hugh charged at Rip and blasted Rip in the face with the title. Rip went back down. Hugh tossed the belt aside and briefly played to the cheering crowd. Hugh grabbed Rip and threw Rip into the ring. Hugh got on the apron and climbed to the top buckle and Rip got up and Hugh caught Rip with a flying lariat from the top rope. Rip down again. Hugh popped the downed Rip in the head with a series of punches and then snapped up Rip and whipped Rip into the buckles. Hugh mounted the middle buckle and nailed Rip with some more head shots and then started biting Rip's head as the crowd popped. Announcers said there was nothing the ref could do to stop the biting. Hugh stopped biting Rip and pulled Rip out of the corner and whipped Rip into the ropes and looked to catch Rip coming off with a flying headbutt to the chest but Rip grabbed the top rope and held on as Hugh crashed to the mat. The bleeding Rip stomped away on the downed Hugh. Rip grabbed Hugh and threw Hugh over the top rope and down to the floor. Rip followed Hugh out. As Hugh got to his knees, Rip nailed Hugh with a vicious kick to the side of the face. Rip then grabbed Hugh and pointed at the cage rubbed Hugh's face into the barbed wire apparatus. Hugh went down. Rip went over and picked up the TV Title. Hugh, now bleeding, got up and turned around and Rip slammed Hugh over the head with the title. Hugh stumbled back and fell on his ass on the floor.

Rip snapped up Hugh and rammed Hugh's head into the ring post. Hugh staggered and stumbled and went down. Rip then grabbed the top half of the steel ring steps and walked over and went to throw the steps down on Hugh but Hugh rolled away at the last second and the steps slammed to the floor. Rip grabbed Hugh and went to whip Hugh into the cage but Hugh reversed and sent Rip crashing into the cage. Rip turned around and walked away from the cage and Hugh clotheslined Rip down to the floor. Hugh picked up the ring steps off the floor and as Rip got up, Hugh charged at Rip and slammed Rip in the face with the steps. Rip crashed back down to the floor. Hugh grabbed Rip and threw him back into the ring. Hugh followed Rip into the ring, grabbed Rip's legs and flipped over on top of Rip for a pin try. 1...2... Rip grabbed Hugh by the waist and bridged up and looked to catch Hugh in a backslide but after a brief struggle, Hugh reversed and caught Rip in a backslide instead. 1...2... Rip kicked out. Both men got to their feet. Rip came at Hugh and Hugh went to clothesline Rip but Rip ducked the move and Hugh turned and Rip went to superkick Hugh but Hugh ducked the kick and caught Rip in a fireman's carry and nailed Rip with a Samoan Drop. Hugh then maneuvered Rip into position for a turnbuckle move. Hugh mounted the top buckle and came off with a moonsault but Rip rolled out of the way and Hugh crashed to the mat. Both men down. Rip crawled over and covered Hugh. 1...2... Hugh kicked out. Crowd buzzing. Chants of 'Let's Go Hugh!' led by UWL official Chris McClain started to echo throughout the arena. Both men up. Rip caught Hugh with a punch to the jaw. Hugh popped Rip back and a punch exchange ensued that Rip got the better of. Rip whipped Hugh into the ropes and looked to catch Hugh coming off with a clothesline but Hugh ducked the move and came back and caught Rip with a flying headbutt to the chest. Rip went down. Hugh covered Rip and hooked the leg. 1...2...2-3/4... Rip got a shoulder up. Crowd groaned.

Hugh grabbed Rip as Rip was getting to his feet and whipped Rip into the ropes. Hugh bent down looking to catch Rip with a backdrop coming off but Rip leapfrogged Hugh. When Hugh turned around...WHAM!...Rip blasted Hugh with the superkick out of nowhere. Hugh crashed to the mat. Some in the crowd cheered Rip. Rip dropped down and covered Hugh and hooked the leg. 1...2...2-9/10... Hugh managed to kick out. Crowd popped. Rip snapped up Hugh and bodyslammed Hugh into position for a turnbuckle move. Rip climbed to the top buckle and came off and tried to beat Hugh with Hugh's finisher, the moonsault, but Hugh got his knees up and Rip crashed into them. Both men down. Crowd on their feet and buzzing like hair clippers on a military enlistee's hair. Both men slowly made it to their feet. Rip got up facing away from Hugh. Rip turned around...WHAM!...Hugh pulverized Rip with Rip's own superkick finisher. Hugh for the cover and hooked the leg. 1...2...2-7/8... Rip barely kicked out. Fans couldn't believe it. Hugh got up and dragged Rip into position for a turnbuckle move. Hugh methodically climbed to the top buckle, paused for a moment and then came off with his moonsault finisher that connected. Hugh covered Rip and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell. Crowd now ear-splitting loud. A bloody hugh got to his feet and had his hand raised by the ref in victory.

Crowd was cheering and chanting 'Hugh!' and a tired, battered Hugh walked to all four sides of the ring and acknowledged the fans by pointing at them and then raising his fist in the air. Hugh then stood in the middle of the ring as the cheers and chant continued and Hugh threw both fists in the air victoriously as the program faded to black.

The words: 'Thank You Hugh' then appeared on the screen for a few seconds before fading to black and the program ending.

WINNER: Hugh - Pinfall - Moonsault - 12:04)
