UWL 'SLAM!' WRESTLING - EP. 128 - DAYTON, OH - HARA ARENA - 7-2-13 (Taped)

(Crockett Cup video aired to open the show.

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!")

(Crowd Shots/Pyro)

(Shot of the Crockett Cup trophy standing in a glass case guarded by two armed security guards in a roped off area in the middle of the main concourse. Fans were standing around looking at the trophy.

Ann. Stack: "We are just one week away from the historic Crockett Cup Tag Team Tournament on next week's special edition of 'Slam!'")

(Anns. Steve Stack and Joe Pedicino then welcomed viewers and ran down the program: DECISION DAY: Ted DiBiase will decide Dusty Rhodes' fate with The Firm; Indian Strap Match: Wahoo McDaniel vs. Harley Race; UWL World Champion Roddy Piper makes an appearance; a recent match featuring The Destroyers from Icons of Pro Wrestling will air - The Destroyers are one of the two non-UWL teams in the Crockett Cup tournament; final comments from IWA World Tag Team Champions Windham & Pillman as they prepare for the Crockett Cup; Adrian Adonis (The Firm) vs. DDP; The Dog Pound vs. Grog & The Sacred Anvil; UWL World Tag Team Champions Lord Humongous & Missing Link see action; an interview with the Anderson Bros.; an appearance by Greg Valentine; and more.

Announcers then sent it to the ring.)

(In-ring: Pres. Watts promo.

'Born in the USA' played over the p.a. system. Watts came to the ring with mic in hand and to a modest crowd reax. He was in a suit and carrying a clipboard.

BW: "We've got a lot to get to and a limited amount of time to do it! As you know, next week is the huge Crockett Cup Tag Team Tournament right here on a special 2-1/2 hour edition of 'Slam!'

"So, let's get things kicked off with the announcement of the final three UWL teams that will be competing for the Crockett Cup. The teams are: The Nasty Boys and...the UWL World Tag Team Champions Lord Humongous and The Missing Link!"

Crowd cheered the announcement of Lord & Link.

BW: "As you'll notice, I did not announce the final UWL team that will be competing in the tournament. That's because tonight we're gonna have a wrestle-in match for the final spot. It will be a singles match. The winner will get to choose who his partner will be for the Crockett Cup. And the match will pit Ken Patera against Rick Rude of The Firm! Let's hook 'em up!"

Decent crowd response.

BW: "Right now, I need Hall and Nash and Firm Director Ted DiBiase to come to the ring."

After a brief pause, the trio came to the ring to the usual mixed crowd reax. All three had mics. Ted was in a suit and Hall and Nash were in casual street attire.

BW: "I have called you out here because this next announcement directly affects the team of Hall and Nash and their participation in the Crockett Cup tournament."

Nash: "I didn't know she was your daughter, Bill, I swear!"

Watts glared for a moment at Nash.

BW: "I'll let that remark slide, Kevin. Besides, my daughter finds you anything but sexy."

TD: "Watts, what is this about? Why are you messing with Hall and Nash and their chance to win the Crockett Cup and $2 million dollars?"

BW: "Over the past few days, I have been in discussions with the UWL Championship Committee. They have decided that because of Kevin Nash's recent impressive string of victories, Nash is the new #1 contender for the UWL World Title. And at the Crockett Cup, the championship committee wants Nash to face Roddy Piper for the UWL World Championship."

Strong crowd reaction.

BW: "I do want to be perfectly clear about one thing, Kevin, I am giving you a choice. You can either stick with Scott Hall and wrestle in the Crockett Cup tournament, or you can accept the World Title shot. If you choose the title shot, then I will allow Hall to pick a new partner for the tournament."

Hall, Nash and DiBiase huddled together for a moment.

Nash: "President Watts, consider the deal done! I will be wrestling Roddy Piper for the World Title next Tuesday! I have earned this championship shot! Roddy Piper's days as the champion are numbered! In seven days, The Firm is gonna hoist the Crockett Cup and take home $2 million dollars! And I'm gonna become the new UWL World Champion!"

BW: "Alright, now that we've got that settled, Scott, you now can choose a new partner for the tournament."

Hall: "Bill, it's already settled! I've made my choice as to who my new partner will be for the Crockett Cup! And man, I really like our chances! My choice for a partner is...Adrian Adonis! Yo, Adrian! Come on out here, brother!"

Adonis came out. He was in his ring attire. He had a cocky smirk on his face as he made his way to the ring. Adonis got in the ring and high-fived Hall, Nash and DiBiase.

Adonis: "I have never held a check for $2 million dollars in my life! Next week will be a first for me! I can now mark that off my bucket list!"

BW: "Kevin, I have here in my hand the contract for you to sign to make World Title match official for next week."

Nash: "Where's Roddy Piper at?! I want him to come out here and sign his final contract as the UWL World Champion in front of me, aka, the next champion of the world!"

BW: "Roddy has not arrived at the building yet; but he's been informed of the situation."

Nash: "Then I'll wait and sign my contract when he gets here!"

TD: "One thing seems to be lost in all this chatter right now! Watts, there may be two teams representing The Firm in the Crockett Cup! And something else that hasn't been brought up...the team that wins the tournament also gets to challenge for the UWL titles of their choosing! It's all starting to fall into place for us! I have said it before, The Firm will one day control all the male championships in this company! And when we do, that's when we will begin our power-play for control of the entire company! 'Big Sexy' becomes the new World Champion! And The Firm wins the Crockett Cup and garners two more championship shots! You couldn't have scripted a better scenario for us! The whole show next week, it plays right into The Firm's hands! And all UWL wrestlers better start preparing for the day in the near future when they're gonna have to do what we tell 'em because we're gonna control their careers! Hahahahaha!"

'Money' played over the p.a. system as the segment ended.)

(Announcers dicussed Piper © vs. Nash (The Firm) for the UWL World Title being made for next week's Crockett Cup tournament special edition of 'Slam!' beginning at 8:30 pm E/P on FX! Also discussed Hall having to pick a new partner and Hall choosing Adrian Adonis. Watts announcing that WTTC Lord & Link and the Nasty Boys are in the Crockett Cup tournament and a wrestle-in match later tonight where the winner of the match gets to pick his own partner for the final slot in the Crockett Cup. Said the Dog Pound vs. Grog & The Sacred Anvil was next!)

(Edited video aired from last week of Rick Steiner and Buzz Sawyer announcing the re-forming of the Dog Pound for the Crockett Cup tournament next week.

VIDEO:

Rick: "Lee Marshall! I have an announcement to make! As you know, the Dog Pound went it's separate ways several months ago! But, President Watts approached us and asked us if we'd like to re-form the team for one night! He said that since we're former UWL World Tag Team Champions, he wanted us to take part in the Crockett Cup! Buzz and me had one of those confrontations about it and decided that we're all in! The Dog Pound is back and we're coming after the Crockett Cup! Woof! Woof! Woof!"

BS: "I'm so fired up right now! Where's the nearest hydrant! I can hardly contain myself! Man! The chance to win the prestigious Crockett Cup! It's the biggest tournament in all of tag team wrestling! Look at what you get! A big trophy! The winning team gets to challenge for any championship they want in the UWL! And you also get $2 million bones! Rick, if we win, we can bury a lot of our bones in the Cup! Woof! Woof! Woof!")

Match 1

Dog Pound vs. Grog & Sacred Anvil (w/ Father Dutch)

(Gregorian chants filled the arena and Anvil, Grog and Father Dutch made their way to the ring to fairly strong boos. Dutch was in his priest's attire; Grog was in his silver and black mask with a cross above the eyes on the mask and his leg-length black tights with silver crosses on the outside of each leg and heavy black boots; Neidhart wrestled in his Mormon missionary attire but did remove the tie.

'Welcome To The Jungle' filled the arena and the Dog Pound came out to a solid ovation. They barked coming down the aisle and then ran around the ring and slapped hands and barked some more as the fans barked back. The pair then got in the ring and kept up the running around and barking routine.

Evenly fought battle. During the match, Father Dutch strangled Buzz Sawyer out on the floor when the ref was distracted by Anvil and Rick Steiner. Near falls for both teams.

At the end of the match, Anvil had just tagged in Grog. Anvil had just dropped Steiner with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Grog came in and stomped on the downed Steiner, grabbed Steiner, whipped Steiner into the ropes and caught Steiner coming off with a knee to the gut. Steiner down. Grog then blasted Steiner with a standing leg drop and went for the cover. 1...2... Steiner kicked out. As Steiner got up, Grog popped Steiner with a boot to the side of the head. Steiner against the ropes. Grog pounded Steiner with some forearm smashes. Grog whipped Steiner into the ropes and looked to catch Steiner coming off with a clothesline but Steiner ducked the move and came back and dropped Grog with a flying Steiner Line. Grog went down and got up and Steiner repeated the move. Grog got up, walked into Steiner's arms and Steiner pulverized Grog with a belly-to-belly overhead suplex. Anvil climbed to the top rope and came off as Steiner turned and saw him and Steiner leveled Anvil with a Steiner Line. Anvil crashed to the mat and rolled out on the apron.

Father Dutch climbed into the ring and Buzz Sawyer charged over and nailed Father Dutch with a big running clothesline that took both men over the top rope and down to the floor. Grog made it to his feet and Steiner popped Grog with a couple of punches, whipped Grog into the ropes and caught Grog coming off in the fireman's carry position. Steiner nailed Grog with the 'Steiner Driver' (aka, Death Valley Driver). Steiner covered Grog and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell as the fans popped. Sawyer got back in the ring and the ref raised Steiner's and Sawyer's hands in victory. The two barked and slapped hands with fans while heading back up the aisle. Buzz even licked a couple of faces along the way.

WINNER: Dog Pound - Pinfall - Steiner pinned Grog with the Steiner Driver - 6:29)

(Announcers discussed how the Dog Pound showed very little in the way of ring rust as they head into the Crockett Cup tournament next week! Hyped still to come: DECISION DAY: Ted DiBiase will decide Dusty Rhodes' fate with The Firm; Wrestle-In Match (The winner gets to choose his partner to compete for the Crockett Cup next week): Ken Patera vs. Rick Rude (The Firm); Indian Strap Match: Wahoo McDaniel vs. Harley Race; UWL World Champion Roddy Piper makes an appearance; a recent match featuring The Destroyers from Icons of Pro Wrestling will air - The Destroyers are one of the two non-UWL teams in the Crockett Cup tournament; final comments from IWA World Tag Team Champions Windham & Pillman as they prepare for the Crockett Cup; Adrian Adonis (The Firm) vs. DDP; UWL World Tag Team Champions Lord Humongous & Missing Link see action; an appearance by Greg Valentine; and more. Said an interview with the Anderson Bros. was next!)

(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 Ole locking Lash LaRue in his cross armbreaker finisher and Lash submitting and Ole keeping the hold locked on long after the match and the ref reversing the decision and Buzz Tyler coming to the ring and Ole breaking the hold and Tyler and Ole had=ving a staredown before Ole left the ring.)

(In-ring: Anderson Brothers interview.

'Al Var Alda' by Wardruna played over the p.a. system and out came the Anderson brothers to pretty strong boos. All three were in street clothes and all were wearing the black satin jackets with runes on the sleeves, life rune on the back and the word 'Anderson' above the life rune.

LM: "Ole, Lars and Gene Anderson, I have to ask, what is going on with the Norse entrance music and the runic symbols on the jackets?"

Ole: "What you are witnessing is the Anderson brothers connecting with their Norse roots. We are Norseman, Lee Marshall. We are proud of our heritage and we decided to make a public celebration of it every time any of us Anderson brothers is out here. If someone in the back has a problem with that, then they can come out here right now and we'll solve their problem for them. This is about the blood. We are brothers. We're not 'brothers' by religion. We're not 'brothers' by just being good friends. No! We Anderson brothers are related by our DNA...our blood! And the blood means much more than any religion, politics or friendship one can have! We three have an eternal connection with each other! A bond forged in blood is far more powerful than any other bond there is! Arn, I hope you're listening to this! As our cousin, you're blood kin! You've made alliances with others here in the UWL! But they'll all eventually crumble! Why?! Because the blood isn't holding those alliances together! You need to think long and hard about your future, Arn! Whose side are you on?!"

LM: "We've got the Crockett Cup coming up next week and the Anderson brothers are one of the teams in the tournament. A lot is on the line. The Crockett Cup trophy; $2 million dollars paid to the winning team; and the winners get to challenge for whichever UWL championships that they choose. Last week, President Watts stated that whichever two of you Anderson brothers wrestles in your first match in the tournament, that is the team that must wrestle no matter how deep you go into the tournament. Does that limit your strategy at all?"

Ole: "What a stupid question. The Anderson brothers are interchangable. It doesn't change our strategy in any way, shape or form. No matter which two of us wrestles in the Crockett Cup, you're gonna be dealing with one of the best tag teams in the world. We're tag team specialists. This tournament is like a gift from the gods for the Anderson brothers. It's like it was express mailed to us straight from Valhalla. The Anderson brothers know tag team wrestling better than anyone else. And that will be on display next week."

LM: "Finally, Ole, the situation between you and Buzz Tyler."

Ole: "It's clear to anyone who can see that Buzz Tyler has payback on his mind for something that happened between him and me years ago when he was just breaking into the business and I was already a major star. Buzz says I stretched him and took liberties with him in the ring. I did that with all the guys I wrestled who were just breaking into the business. And I make no apologies for it. In this business, you have to be tough to survive. In a lot of ways, professional wrestling is the ultimate form of Darwinism. The strong survive and the weak get crushed. It's that simple. I give Tyler credit in that he has obviously survived his own school of hard knocks and now is an accomplished pro. He even has a series of submission moves that he uses and obviously wants to use on me; especially that Kimura Lock of his. Tyler, I welcome the challenge. Because I would love to get you in this ring and stretch you one more time. Let's sign the contract and make the match a reality."

'Al Var Alda' played over the p.a. system and the Andersons left the ring to boos and headed back up the aisle.)

(Video of a recent Destroyers' match from Icons of Pro Wrestling.

VIDEO:

Video opened with Bobby Heenan standing in front of a large flat-screen TV. He was holding a remote and a mic and was wearing his famous black long sleeve shirt with 'BH' on the front left breast and black slacks.

BH: "All you humanoids out there, it's time to sit up, shut up and pay very close attention to what you are about to witness! You are going to see why the Destroyers live up to their name in this match from 'Icons of Pro Wrestling'! And next week, The Destroyers won't be coming to you on video! Oh no! You'll get to see them go on a destructive rampage all the way to winning the Crockett Cup live on UWL 'Slam!' Wrestling! So, watch this! And live, learn and shudder! I give you...The Destroyers!"

Heenan pressed the 'play' button on the remote.

MATCH

The Destroyers vs J.T.Smith/Tommy Cairo

Cairo and Smith are already in the ring.

Lights begin to strobe as the familiar ominous vocals “We’re taking

over this town!” as Pantera’s Cowboys from Hell begins playing

through the arena announcing the arrival of the The Destroyers accompanied by manager Bobby The Brain

Heenan make their way to the ring. Some boos, a good amount of

cheers but an overwhelming “WEASEL!” chant for The Brain. The

Destroyers point at their opponents in the ring while Heenan gives

last minute instructions.

They climb up

to the apron and D2 is going to start things off against Cairo. They

lockup, Cairo gets a quick armdrag taking D2 by surprise. D2 gets

up and heads to his corner to get some advice from his partner.After

a quick conference D2 moves in again, Cairo gets the advantage with

a side headlock. D2 with some quick forearm shots to the ribs. D2

reaches back and tags D1. Cairo lets go of the headlock and hustles

away to avoid being caught in the wrong corner. Cairo tags Smith

who leaps over the top rope and is leveled by a clothesline from

D1. Gut-wrench suplex on Smith gets 1. D1 drops an elbow. Pulls

Smith up,drags him to the corner, tag to D2. They double team Smith

in the corner with alternating shoulder blocks to the mid-section.

Smith is doubled up. D2 chokes Smith over the top rope. The ref

counts releasing at 4. D2 flings Smith backwards to the mat. D2

throws Smith into his corner, Cairo tags in. D2 with a boot to the

gut then swarms Cairo with forearm smashes across the back.

Hangman’s neckbreaker by D2 on Cairo gets a 2 count. Heenan is all

smiles at ringside watching his Destroyers living up to their name.

D2 lifts Cairo back first on his shoulder and runs him into the

corner before dumping him on the mat. Tag to D1 who comes in

dropping elbows to the back of Cairo’s neck. Whip to the ropes by

D1, Cairo with a sunset flip gets 2. D1 kicks out Cairo scrambles to

his corner tags in Smith who comes in firing rights and lefts at D1

staggering him. A bodyslam by Smith. He

signals he’s going to the top rope. Smith up...Moonsault. D1 moves.

Smith crashes and burns. D1 drags Smith over to the corner,tags D2.

CATTLE DECAPITATION(Backbreaker/ 2nd Rope Elbow drop combination)

D2 covers 1.2.3(Winners 4:32 The Destroyers )

Heenan climbs in the ring and congratulates his men.

After the match video ended, camera panned back and showed Heenan wiping his brow with his handkerchief.

BH: "Did you deadbeats just witness that?! I manage them, and even I was afraid watching all the damage they inflicted on those two ham-and-eggers there! Every other team in the Crockett Cup tournament...you need to be very afraid! If you're not after watching that then you need to have a CAT scan run on you to see if you have a brain! Next week, The Destroyers are gonna lay waist to everyone unfortunate enough to stand in their path! The Destroyers are gonna win the most coveted trophy in tag team wrestling, the Crockett Cup! And I'm gonna walk out of the WVU Coliseum $2 million dollars richer!")

(* Thanks to the friend of mine who wrote the The Destroyers' match included here.)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson interviewed Ken Patera.

LN: "Ken, a big opportunity awaits you tonight if you can defeat Rick Rude of The Firm and earn that final slot in the Crockett Cup tournament next week. Have you already chosen a tag team partner?"

KP: "I have indeed already chosen a partner for next week's Crockett Cup. I'll announce him if I win the match tonight."

LN: "You said 'if' you win tonight."

KP: "That's right, if I win tonight. You can take nothing for granted in this business. And when you're wrestling a member of The Firm anything can happen. And you know that in a match of this magnitude, The Firm is gonna look to do whatever they can to try and score the victory and have two teams in the Crockett Cup tournament. Do the math, it increases their chances of winning the Cup, the $2 million and the right to challenge for the UWL titles of their choosing. I have a feeling that I'm gonna have my hands full with not only Rick Rude, but other members of The Firm as well. That's the price that one must pay when they tangle with The Firm. And the most important thing here is the money. No UWL wrestler, whether they're loved or hated, wants to see The Firm add $2 million bucks to their war chest to use in their war against the UWL. An awful lot is on the line here. We on the UWL side have to do our damndest to try and keep The Firm from gaining any major leverage in this war.")

(Announcers discussed the impressive perfromance by The Destroyers in their pre-taped match from IPW and the Patera interview. Hyped still to come: DECISION DAY: Ted DiBiase will decide Dusty Rhodes' fate with The Firm; Wrestle-In Match (The winner gets to choose his partner to compete for the Crockett Cup next week): Ken Patera vs. Rick Rude (The Firm); Indian Strap Match: Wahoo McDaniel vs. Harley Race; UWL World Champion Roddy Piper makes an appearance; final comments from IWA World Tag Team Champions Windham & Pillman as they prepare for the Crockett Cup; Adrian Adonis (The Firm) vs. DDP; UWL World Tag Team Champions Lord Humongous & Missing Link see action; and more. Said Greg Valentine is here next!)

(Video aired from last week of Greg Valentine catching opponent Mike Jackson in the figure four and not breaking the hold after Jackson had tapped out and Pres. Watts, bat in hand, making the save and Jackson having to be stretchered off.)

(In-ring: Greg Valentine and mgr. Gary Hart promo.

The pair came to the ring to the song 'All Along The Watchtower' by Jimi Hendrix. Both were in suits and had mics. They were strongly booed coming to the ring.

Announcers pointed out that Valentine did indeed break Jackson's ankle in the figure four last week.

GV: "Looks like we have the newest guest in the Ankle Break Hotel. That man's name is Mike Jackson. No, not the Michael Jackson that had an affair with Scott Thorson and sang 'Thriller'. I broke the ankle of Mike Jackson the wrestler. The good news is that there was a room open in the Ankle Break Hotel right next to Steve Williams' room. At least, during Mike's stay, he and Williams can suffer in agony together. I gotta admit that I'm having quite a lot of fun breaking bones. I love seeing my opponent stretchered out of the arena. I see more guests being admitted into the Ankle Break Hotel in the near future. You wrestlers might want to make your reservations early. Because we could be filling up fast."

Pres. Watts walked out on the entrance stage. He was in a suit and had a mic. Very little response for Watts.

BW: "Valentine, you did indeed break the ankle of Mike Jackson last week. I saw the x-rays and they were hard to look at. Who knows how much long-term damage you did to Jackson's ankle. We have no idea as of right now if Jackson will be able to continue his wrestling career."

GV: "Not to toot my own horn, but I am quite proud of my growing track record of injuring other wrestlers."

BW: "That's really something to be proud of, Greg. Well, here's something you won't be too proud of. Because you intentionally broke Jackson's ankle last week, I am fining you $200,000 dollars."

Hart: "$200 grand?! What the...?! Is there a suspension coming, too?!"

GV: "What?! This is a violent sport, Watts! You can't do this to me! That's an outrageous fine!"

BW: "You didn't have to break his ankle, Greg! You could have broken the hold at any time once he tapped but you chose to go out of your way to seriously injure Mike Jackson!"

Greg was now seething.

Hart: "Anything else you want to spring on us, Watts?"

BW: "This may shock you. There will be no suspension. None. The reason I'm not suspending Greg for his actions is because I've been in touch with Steve Williams the last several days and he wanted me to pass along the message that he'll be back in action real soon. A lot sooner than you two could ever imagine. And when he comes back, Steve Williams vs. Greg Valentine will take place."

Hart: "Gee, is that all? No other unexpected announcements from the grand poobah of the UWL?"

BW: "I have one more announcement concerning Greg Valentine. In two weeks here on 'Slam!', Valentine, you will be facing one of the most dangerous and unorthodox wrestlers in the sport today. I'm talking about The Missing Link! Get ready to hook 'em up!"

Crowd cheered as Valentine started having words with Hart in the ring as Hart tried to calm Greg down.)

(Announcers discussed Watts nailing Greg with a major fine for breaking jobber Jackson's ankle and Watts making Link vs. Valentine for the July 16th 'Slam!'. Said World Tag Team Champions Lord Humongous & The Missing Link see action next!)

Match 3 (Non-Title)

Lord Humongous & Missing Link (w/ Dark Journey) vs. Brackus & Karl Steiner

('Breaking The Law' blared over the p.a. and the crowd roared as Lord and Link came to the ring with mgr. Journey. Lord and Link were carrying their tag belts hanging down by their sides. Link slammed his head into the ring post a few times before getting into the ring as Lord stepped over the top rope into the ring, pounded his chest and pointed at Brackus and Steiner.

Brackus and Steiner got in a little offense against the champs but it was not enough as Lord and Link took control. As the match was going on, a pre-recorded video insert popped up in the upper left hand corner of the screen. It was Dark Journey.

DJ: "Next week, Crockett Cup. The champs have never been better in the ring than they are right now. And I'm confident that they're gonna become the most unorthodox pair to ever raise the Crockett Cup trophy in victory."

Match ended when Link nailed Steiner with a high angle spinebuster (aka, Alabama Slam) and Link covered Steiner without hookiung the leg. Brackus came in to try and break up the pin but stopped dead in his tracks as Lord stepped in to cut him off as the ref counted the 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell. Ref went over and took the titles and handed them to the champs and raised Lord's and Link's hands in victory.

Journey led her men out of the ring to the floor and back up the aisle to the entrance stage. Once there, Lord looked at Link and Lord raised his belt over his head. Link didn't follow suit and just looked at Lord. Lord lowered and raised the title again and this time Link got it and raised his title in the air, too, as the pair turned and faced the cheering fans before heading to the back.

WINNER: Lord & Link - Pinfall - Link pinned Steiner with the High Angle Spinebuster - 3:35)

(Announcers discussed Lord and Link looking primed and ready for next week's Crockett Cup. Hyped still to come: DECISION DAY: Ted DiBiase will decide Dusty Rhodes' fate with The Firm; Wrestle-In Match (The winner gets to choose his partner to compete for the Crockett Cup next week): Ken Patera vs. Rick Rude (The Firm); Indian Strap Match: Wahoo McDaniel vs. Harley Race; UWL World Champion Roddy Piper makes an appearance; final comments from IWA World Tag Team Champions Windham & Pillman as they prepare for the Crockett Cup. Said Adrian Adonis (The Firm) vs. DDP is coming up!)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson interviewed Rick Rude of The Firm.

LN: "Rick, tonight you face Ken Patera with a chance to earn the final slot in the Crockett Cup Tag Team Tournament next week. If you win..."

RR: "When I win, Larry Nelson. 'If' is a verboten word when speaking about my chances of beating Ken Patera tonight."

LN: "OK. So, when you defeat Ken Patera tonight, do you know who you will choose as your tag team partner for the Crockett Cup?"

RR: "I'll announce my partner for the Crockett Cup immediately after I dispatch of Patera. There's really nothing left to say, Larry. Just watch and learn from the master.")

Match 4

DDP vs. Adrian Adonis (w/ DiBiase) (The Firm)

('Money' by Pink Floyd played over the p.a. system and Adonis and DiBiase came to the ring to a mixed crowd reax. DiBiase was in a suit and Adonis was in 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, 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' played over the p.a. system. DDP came out to a solid response. Once DDP got to the bottom of the ramp, he made the Diamond sign and did the 'Bang!' gesture as pyro went off on the stage. DDP made his way to the ring with his eyes locked on Adonis all the way. DDP didn't engage in the normal hand slapping with fans coming down the aisle.

Good battle between two wily vets.

At one point during the match, Adonis had tossed DDP out of the ring to the floor. As Adonis distracted the ref, DDP made his way back up to the apron only to have DiBiase come over, grab DDP by the ankles and yank DDP back down to the floor. DDP slammed face-first into the apron and went down again on the floor. Ted put the dress shoes to DDP and then threw DDP back into the ring.

Adonis took over and started dominating DDP but couldn't put the Diamond away. DDP got in some offense, but Adonis managed to short-circuit much of DDP's comeback tries.

At the end of the match, Adonis was on the offensive. Adonis whipped DDP into the buckles and went to nail DDP with a flying knee to the chest but DDP fell out of the way and Adonis crashed knee-first into the top buckle. Both men down. Both men started getting to their feet. Adonis was facing away from DDP. Adonis turned around and DDP went for the Diamond Cutter but Adonis shoved DDP off. DDP turned and Adonis caught DDP in position for the 'Goodnight Irene' (aka, Reverse STO) but DDP caught Adonis with a series of elbow strikes upside the head and freed himself from the hold. DDP then nailed Adonis with a jumping DDT. DiBiase jumped on the ring apron. DDP went over and Ted looked to nail DDP with a punch but DDP blocked the punch try and hit Ted with a few head shots and then sent Ted crashing to the floor with a discus clothesline. Crowd into it. Adonis recovered and nailed DDP across the back with a double sledge. Adrian then popped DDP with some open hand chest slaps and then went to whip DDP into the corner but DDP reversed and sent Adrian in. Adonis flipped up in the corner and was sitting on the top buckle facing the crowd. DDP quickly jumped on the middle buckle, grabbed Adons and nailed Adonis with a belly-to-back suplex. Adonis hurting. Adonis got to his feet and DDP caught Adonis with a Russian legsweep. DDP for the cover. 1...2...2-1/2... Adonis kicked out. DDP bodyslammed Adonis into position for a turnbuckle move. DDP went out on the apron and mounted the top buckle. DDP came off the top buckle with a flying knee drop attempt but Adonis rolled out of the way and DDP crashed to the mat. Both men down. Both men slowly made it to their feet. Adonis stunned DDP with a series of kicks to his hurting leg and then Adonis nailed DDP with the 'Goodnight Irene'. Adonis covered DDP and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell and raised Adonis' hand in victory. Adonis left the ring and joined the now recovered DiBiase on the floor and the pair made it back up the aisle to a mixed crowd reax.

WINNER: Adonis - Pinfall - Goodnight Irene - 8:06)

(Announcers discussed Adonis beating DDP in a hard fought match. Said the Indian Strap Match: Race vs. Wahoo was next!)

Match 5 (Indian Strap Match)

Harley Race vs. Wahoo McDaniel (w/ JJ)

(Music-only version of 'Turn The Page' by Bob Seger played over the p.a. system and out came Race to a good ovation. Race again did not slap hands with fans on the way to the ring.

Wahoo and JJ came to the ring to loud boos. Wahoo had the strap. JJ was in a suit.

Announcers pointed out that the only way to win was to touch all four corners in succession. They also pointed out that the strap was made of a tough, cutting leather and was not like the cartoon strap the WWE used at 'Extreme Rules'.

Ref took the strap from Wahoo and placed one end of the strap around Race's wrist and then placed the other end around Wahoo's. The men were glaring at each other. JJ had a few words with Wahoo and then left the ring and dropped to the floor.

Ref called for the bell.

The two men engaged in an immediate tug-of-war for possession of the strap. Race yanked hard on the strap and Wahoo stumbled forward and lost control of his end of the strap. Race started whipping the hell out of Wahoo with the strap. Race then caught Wahoo with a headbutt, whipped Wahoo into the ropes and clotheslined Wahoo coming off with the strap. Wahoo got up facing away from Race and was standing over the strap when Race yanked the strap up and crotched Wahoo. Race spun Wahoo around plastered Wahoo with a series of punches. Wahoo staggered. Race touched the first top buckle. Race then popped Wahoo with another headbutt and pulled Wahoo along and Race touched the second top buckle. As Race prepared to begin his march towards the third buckle, Wahoo charged at race and nailed him with a modified splash in the corner. Wahoo hammered away on Race with a series of blistering chest chops and then wrapped the belt around Race's neck and snapmared Race out of the corner. Race was sitting up in the ring with the strap around his neck. Wahoo then dropped a series of elbows onto the top of Race's head. Wahoo unraveled the strap from around Race's neck and pulled Race up. Wahoo wrapped part of the strap around his hand, whipped Race into the ropes and blasted Race coming off with a strap-laden chop to the chest. Race down. Wahoo then dragged Race along and Wahoo touched the first top buckle. Wahoo dragged Race over and Race grabbed part of the strap and wouldn't let go as Wahoo struggled to pull Race to the second corner. Wahoo stomped on Race and then went over and touched the second top buckle. Wahoo dragged Race in the direction of the third corner and Wahoo slapped the top buckle. Wahoo then started to drag Race towards the fourth and final corner. Halfway there, Race grabbed onto the middle rope. Wahoo put the boots to Race but Race wouldn't let go. Wahoo reached down to pull Race up and Race grabbed part of the strap and raked it across Wahoo's eyes. Wahoo went down to a knee to break up Wahoo's attempt to win the match. Both men made it to their feet. Wahoo chopped Race and then Race spun Wahoo around with another headbutt. Race then wrapped the strap around Wahoo's neck and started strangling the life out of Wahoo as the fans cheered (except for the employees from the local Indian casino who bought tickets to the show). Wahoo walking around the ring trying to get free from Race's grasp. Race nailed Wahoo in the back of the head with a series of headbutts. Wahoo fell against the ropes.

Race then nailed Wahoo with a series of stiff chest chops of his own. Race tied the stunned Wahoo's hands with the strap and dragged Wahoo along and touched the top first buckle. Race then pulled Wahoo along and Wahoo resisted until a Race kick to Wahoo's gut. Race touched the second top buckle. Wahoo tried to deadweight Race so Race punched Wahoo in the head a couple of times and grabbed Wahoo in a side headlock. Race dragged Wahoo over and slapped the third top buckle. As Race held Wahoo in the side headlock, Wahoo was able to free his hands from strap. Race didn't see it. Race got halfway to the fourth corner when Wahoo stunned Race with a belly-to-back suplex which prohibited Race from touching the fourth buckle. Wahoo got up and put the boots to Race. Wahoo grabbed Race and threw Race into the corner and popped Race with another modified running big splash. Race limp in the corner. Wahoo once again wrapped the strap around his hand and blistered Race with a series of chest chops. The flesh-tearing power of the strap opened up a pretty good cut on Race's chest. Wahoo then slapped the first top buckle behind Race. As Wahoo pulled Race out of the corner, Race slapped the top buckle as well. Wahoo then raked Race's eyes along the top rope. Race grabbing at his eyes as Wahoo dragged Race to the second corner and slapped the top buckle. Wahoo dragging Race along behind him. Race slapped the top buckle behind Wahoo's back. Wahoo pulled Race halfway towards the third corner but Race resisted and started struggling with Wahoo. Wahoo nailed Race with a few more chops to Race's bleeding chest. Wahoo pulled Race forward and Wahoo touched the third top buckle. Again, Wahoo wasn't looking when Race slapped the third top buckle behind him. JJ worried at ringside. Wahoo started pulling Race towards the fourth and final corner. Halfway there, Race started resisting again. Wahoo went to grab Race but Race stunned Wahoo with a headbutt. Wahoo nailed Race with a chop. Then, a punch-chop exchange ensued between the two ring warriors. As the ref was looking on at Wahoo and Harley, JJ made his way over. Race had just stunned Wahoo with a headbutt when JJ reached in the ring and clipped Race's ankle and caused Race to lose his balance and go down. JJ stood back like he did nothing. Wahoo had regained his bearings and went to pull Race to the corner but Race was able to grab the middle rope and part of the strap. Wahoo sturggled but couldn't budge Race. Wahoo was just a few inches away from victory but Race wasn't letting it happen. Wahoo then reached down to grab Race and Race kicked Wahoo hard in the gut. The impact of the kick sent Wahoo hurtling backwards into the fourth corner. Ref called for the bell and raised Wahoo's hand in victory.

Race made it to his feet and removed the strap from his wrist. JJ climbed up on the apron. Race shot a hate-filled glance at JJ and this gave Wahoo an opening. Wahoo blasted Race with a big forearm smash to the back. Wahoo then started whipping Race violently across the back with the strap. JJ climbed into the ring as Wahoo spun Race around and bashed Race with a series of chest-shops. Race's blood now on Wahoo's hand. Race staggered. JJ excitedly asked Wahoo for the strap. Wahoo handed JJ the strap and JJ started whipping Race across the back with it. Race in dire pain. JJ then started strangling Race with the strap. Race went down to his knees. Crowd popped as Arn Anderson, chair in hand, came charging to the ring. JJ let go of the strap and he and Wahoo bailed to the safety of the floor just as Arn hit the ring. JJ quickly signaled it was time for he and Wahoo to exit stage left. Arn and the ref checked on Race, who was on his knees with the strap still around his neck.

WINNER: Wahoo - Touched all four corners in succession - 9:43)

(Announcers discussed Wahoo beating Race in a hard-fought strap match and JJ assaulting Race after the match with the strap. Said Decision Day for Dusty Rhodes with The Firm was coming up!)

(Announcers then intro'd the newest video of the next female wrestler coming to the UWL.

VIDEO:

Video opened with a wide-shot of a creepy looking house. The only light on was in the attic. Camera shot closed in on the house and next we see the inside of the attic. It's bathed in an eerie red light.

We hear the voice of a woman gently laughing. Camera pans down. The woman is sitting in a child's rocking chair in front of a small table and a tea set is on the table. She has what looks like a baby doll cradled in her arms. She is snuggling with the doll and holding it close. The woman is dressed in a torn up Raggedy Anne-type outfit. Her hair is a blown out mess and she has a small top hat on. She is giving the doll 'tea' to drink while she giggles.

Woman: "Drink up, my love. Hahahahaha... Yes, that's a good girl. You're mine and I am yours. Hahahaha..."

Suddenly, the woman starts rocking furiously back-and-forth in the chair and her gentle laughter turns into hysterical shrieks. The camera closes in on the woman and we see the doll is dressed in tattered clothes and has no head. The camera then catches a close-up shot of the woman's face. It's painted in smeared black, white and red colors. The laughter becomes even more shrill and hysterical and the picture suddenly freezes and fades to black as the laughter continues to echo as the words: "Daphne is coming to the UWL!' appear on the screen before the video comes to an end.)

(Announcers discussed Daphne coming soon to the UWL.)

(In-ring: Decision Day for Dusty Rhodes' future with The Firm.

'Money' played over the p.a. system and out came every member of The Firm...except Dusty. Adonis, Rude, Hall, Nash and Schultz were in their ring attire. Bigelow was in street clothes and DiBiase was in a suit. They received a mixed crowd reaction.

Only DiBiase had a mic.

TD: "I want to say one thing before we go any further. Dallas Page, I've got a headache from you attacking me earlier tonight. I don't like getting headaches, Dallas. So you can count on having an even bigger headache, courtesy of The Firm.

"This is the night we've all been waiting for. Don't deny it. For the last three weeks you have all been dying to know what Dusty Rhodes' fate with The Firm will be. It's the talk of the pro wrestling world at this time. You're about to finally get your answer. Dusty, come the ring and learn your fate."

After a brief pause, Dusty came out and made his way to the ring. He was in street clothes. He had a look of concern on his face. He had a mic. Dusty got into the ring. Schultz moved towards Dusty as Dusty stepped through the ropes but Schultz was restrained by Bigelow and Nash.

TD: "Dusty, I've thought long and hard about the decision I'm about to announce regarding your future with The Firm. I did not come to this decision lightly. I had to take a lot of things into consideration. You've been a loyal member of The Firm since you joined us last December. You've been a fine addition to the group. But you made one huge mistake.

"Nobdy's perfect. In this sport, there will be setbacks even for the best of us from time-to-time. I can deal with that. We're at war with the UWL and there will be casualites on both sides. But you, Dusty, gave me a guarantee. You told me, you promised your boss, that you were gonna beat Roddy Piper and win the UWL World Title for The Firm at 'Thunderstruck' a month ago. Unfortunately, as history shows, you failed to deliver on your guarantee. I can put up with a lot of things, Dusty. I can even deal with occasional failure. But when you give me, Ted DiBiase, your word that you're going to do something on a grand scale like win the UWL World Title and bring it into the possession of The Firm and don't get the job done, that's just unacceptable.

"I weighed all the pros and cons about your time with The Firm, Dusty. Now, before I announce my decision, do you have anything you'd like to say on your behalf?"

DR: "Yes, Ted. I do have some..."

WHAM! Bigelow bashed Dusty with a brutal forearm smash across the back. Dusty dropped the mic. All other members of The Firm left the ring and dropped to the floor. Bigelow pounded the hell out of Dusty, whipped Dusty into the ropes and pulverized Dusty coming off with a lariat. Dusty crashed helplessly to the mat. Bigelow maneuvered Dusty into position for a turnbuckle move. Bigelow mounted the middle buckle and came off with a devastating slingshot splash. Dusty convulsing. Bigelow signaled for Adonis to grab a chair. Adonis grabbed an empty chair next to the timekeeper's table and threw the unfolded chair into the ring. Dusty started slowly pulling himself up with the aid of the ropes. Bigelow folded up the chair. Dusty got up on unsteady legs next to the ropes. Dusty turned and walked away from the ropes...WHAM!...Bigelow scrambled Dusty's brain cells with a brutal chair shot to the head. Dusty crashed to the mat. Bigelow raised the chair above his head and looked out at the mixed reacting crowd. Dusty started to get up and he was now bleeding a gusher from the forehead. Dusty got up again on shaky legs and Bigelow once again lowered the boom on Dusty's head with the chair. Dusty crumpled to the mat in a heap. Two UWL security members hit the ring and Bigelow hit both, the first with a chair shot to the head and the second with a chair shot to the gut. The latter security guard was doubled over and Bigelow put him down with a stiff chair shot to the back. Both UWL security members were now laying face down in the ring.

DiBiase climbed into the ring with mic in hand and stood over the down and out Dusty.

TD: "In case the message hasn't sunk in, Dusty, you are no longer a member of The Firm!"

More security came to ringside. The Firm members on the floor tangled with UWL security. Bigelow and DiBiase left the ring and joined their compadres on the floor. Words were exchanged between The Firm and security. There was some brief pushing and shoving before the members of The Firm finally started heading back up the aisle. Camera shot of a bloody and dazed Dusty Rhodes laying on the mat as the segment ended.)

(Announcers discussed Dusty being drummed out of The Firm in rather violent fashion.)

(Announcers then announced the first round pairings for next week's Crockett Cup Tag Team Tournament:

Match 6 (Wrestle-In Match: Winner gets to pick his partner for the Crockett Cup Tournament)

Ken Patera vs. Rick Rude (w/ DiBiase) (The Firm)

Rude and DiBiase came to the ring to the song 'Money' by Pink Floyd. They got a mixed crowd reax.

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

Rude: "What I would like right now, is for all you so-called men out there to sit down, shut up and let your ladies see what a real manly man looks like!"

Rude disrobed, placed his hands behind his head and gyrated his hips.

'There's No Easy Way Out' by Robert Tepper played over the p.a. system and out came Ken Patera to a good ovation.

Ref called for the bell.

The two men came out of their corners and circled one another and engaged in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. The two struggled for the advantage and Patera drove Rude against the ropes to force a break. As Patera slowly backed off, Rude hauled off and slapped Patera hard across the face. After being briefly stunned, Patera returned the slap. Rude was hit so hard his legs wobbled and he fell against the ropes. Patera whipped Rude into the ropes and caught Rude coming off with a side slam. Patera for the cover. 1...2... Rude kicked out. As Rude was getting up, Patera moved in and caught Rude with a high knee lift. Rude crashed to the mat and rolled out on the apron. Ref ordered Patera back but Patera didn't listen and dragged Rude over the middle rope and nailed Rude with a draping DDT. Patera again for the cover. 1...2... Rude got his foot on the bottom rope to force a break. Rude got to his feet near the ropes and Patera moved in and popped Rude with a series of European uppercuts. Patera grabbed Rude and rammed Rude back-first into the buckles. Patera backed up and charged at Rude and went to nail Rude with a running shoulder block but Rude moved and Patera slammed shoulder-first into the ring post. Patera extricated himself from the post and Rude moved in and nailed Patera with a pendulum backreaker across the knee. Patera down. Rude mounted the middle buckle and came off with a knee drop to the chest. Rude for the cover. 1...2... Patera kicked out. Rude got up and stomped away on Patera. Rude grabbed Patera and whipped Patera into the buckles. Rude moved in and blasted Patera with hard slaps upside Patera's head. Patera staggered. Rude then popped Patera with a series of turnbuckle thrusts. Patera staggered out of the corner next to the ropes. Rude drove a knee into Patera's gut, whipped Patera into the ropes and looked to catch Patera coming off with a clothesline but Patera ducked the move and Patera came back and caught Rude with the Russian Hammer. Crowd popped. DiBiase concerned at ringside. Patera slowly made it to his feet as Rude got to his feet facing away from Patera. Patera moved in and went to lock Rude in the full nelson but before Ken could lock in the hold, Rude wriggled free from Ken's grasp, spun around and stunned Ken with a kick to the gut. Rude then violently drove a series of knees into Ken's head and then twisted ken around and blasted Ken with the Rude Awakening. Rude covered Patera and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell. Fans of The Firm cheered as Rude had his hand raised in victory. DiBiase and ring announcer Lee Marshall got into the ring. Ref raised Rude's hand in victory.

LM: "Rick Rude, you have won the wrestle-in match over Ken Patera and earlier tonight you said that you would name your partner for the Crockett Cup. We all want to know who it is."

Rude yanked the mic out of Lee Marshall's hand.

RR: "My partner for the Crockett Cup is...Ted DiBiase!"

DiBiase laughed as Rude shook hands with and briefly embraced his boss. DiBiase raised Rude's hand victoriously to a mixed crowd reax.

The pair then left the ring and headed back up the aisle as some garbage flew in their direction.

WINNER: Rude - Pinfall - Rude Awakening - 5:28)

(Announcers discussed Rude winning the wrestle-in match and naming DiBiase as his partner for the Crockett Cup next week. Said UWL World Champion Roddy Piper is coming up!)

(Announcers intro'd the final video from non-UWL participants in the Crockett Cup, IWA World Tag Team Champs Barry Windham and Brian Pillman.

VIDEO:

Windham and Pillman were standing in front of a picture of an enlarged Crockett Cup trophy. They were in street clothes, had the titles slung over their shoulders and each had a mic.

Windham looked at the picture of the Cup.

Windham: "There it is, Brian! The Crockett Cup! We have never trained harder for anything in our lives! The chance to win the cup means the world to us! The money and the chance to challenge for whatever UWL titles we want to are great incentives! But winning the Crockett Cup is the big thing for us! You win that and it says that you're the best tag team in the world! And that's what we intend to be when all is said and done next Tuesday night in Morgantown, West Virginia!"

Pillman: "Man, I get chills just looking at the picture of the trophy! You enter this business to be a champion! You enter this business to be a winner! And that's what the Crockett Cup is all about! Barry and I have held several championships between us! We could fill a warehouse with the gold we've won in our careers! But the Crockett Cup, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! We'll never get this chance again! To hoist that cup as the victors would mean we've accomplished something very rare in our sport! Only a few men have ever won the Crockett Cup! This is a sport that has had thousands of participants down through the years! But to be two of only eight wrestlers in the entire world who have ever won the big silver trophy...that's the stuff dreams are made of! We'll see you at the Crockett Cup next Tuesday!")

(Video aired from earlier in the evening where Nash said he would sign his contract for his UWL World Title match next week with Piper when Piper showed up later in the evening.)

(In-ring: UWL World Champion Roddy Piper promo.

Bagpipe music filled the arena and the fans popped as Roddy Piper came out on the entrance stage. Piper was in street clothes and had the title slung over his shoulder. He had a mic. Piper slapped hands with some cheering fans on the way to the ring. Piper got in the ring and briefly played to the fans.

Lee Marshall was standing in the ring with a clipboard in hand.

RP: "Lee Marshall! Is that the contract for my World Title defense next week against Kevin Nash that you're holding in your grubby mitts?!"

LM: "Indeed it is, 'Hot Rod'."

RP: "Before 'Big A-hole' comes out here to sign the contract, I have something to say! Next week is going to big the biggest night in the history of the 'Slam!' wrestling program! We're gonna see a tag team win the Crockett Cup and take home $2 million dollars! That's the single richest prize ever offered in the history of professional wrestling! Here's who I want to win! I pray to God that it's anyone but either of the two teams representing The Firm! I don't even care if the Anderson brothers win the tournament! We on the UWL side in this war have to fight to keep the most prestigious honor in all of tag team wrestling out of the hands of The Firm!

"As for my match with Kevin Nash, well, you know I have only one rule when dealing with anyone in The Firm! And that rule is attack, attack, attack! We must meet them head-on! We can't afford to be innocent! We must stand up and face the enemy! This is a do-or-die situation and we in the UWL camp must be invincible! I know that every time I step into this ring and defend the belt against a member of The Firm that it could be my last title defense! Nothing is forever in this sport! But the UWL cannot cower in fear of this cabal! They want to fight and the only thing we can do is fight them back and do whatever we have to to try and make sure the World Title never winds up in the hands of the opposition! This is war, dammit! And all's fair in war! The Firm has an agenda and we have an agenda! And we must keep pushing forward with our agenda because in the end only one side's agenda can win out! When you..."

'Money' started playing over the p.a. system and out came Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Ted DiBiase to a mixed crowd reaction. Nash had a mic.

KN: "Nice speech there, Piper! Sorry to cut you off, but you do realize that this is a TV show and we only have a certain amount of time for this segment, right?! If we'd have let you keep talking then we'd have been doing the contract signing standing next to one of the emergency exit lights on the floor because the show would have gone off the damn air and they would have shut off the lights! Marshall, hand me the contract!"

Marshall handed the clipboard containing the contract to Nash. Nash signed it and handed it back to Marshall.

KN: "Piper, think you can sign the contract before we're all on friggin' social security?!"

Piper took the clipboard from Marshall and hastily signed the contract and handed it back to Marshall.

Marshall held the contract in the air.

LM: "It is now official! Roddy Piper will defend the UWL World Title against Kevin Nash of The Firm on next week's special edition of 'Slam!'"

Piper walked right up to Nash.

RP: "Kevin, you may be the giant! But next week, I'm gonna be the giant killer!"

Nash and Piper glared at one another as Hall slyly moved over next to Piper. Hall feigned like he was going to sucker punch Piper but turned his head and saw Hall. Bad move. Nash then nailed Piper with a kick to the side of the face. Piper crashed to the mat and dropped the belt. Nash then picked up Piper and blasted Piper with the jack-knife powerbomb. A hurting Piper laying in the ring. Hall scooped up the belt and handed it to Nash. Nash put his foot on Piper's chest and held the belt high in the air with one hand as fans were mainly booing The Firm as the program faded to black.)

(Crockett Cup video aired to end the show.

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.

(In-ring: Tux wearing Lee Marshall.

LM: "Good evening, wrestling fans! And welcome to the Crockett Cup, hosted by the Universal Wrestling League!"

Fired up crowd cheered the announcement.

LM: "This is the first match-up from Bracket A of the Crockett Cup tournament!"

The song 'Fight Four Your Right' by the Beastie Boys blared over the p.a. system and out came the Nasty Boys to a decent ovation from the crowd.

LM: "Introducing first...the Nasty Boys!"

They charged to the ring and quickly got in the squared circle and wildly played to the fans.

After a brief pause...

LM: "And now, introducing their opponents."

Pantera's 'Cowboys From Hell' came roaring out of the p.a. system.

LM: "They are from Icons of Pro Wrestling! Led to the ring by their manager Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan! They are the..."

The masked Destroyers hit the ring and Marshall bailed to the safety of the floor as The Destroyers immediately went on the attack against the Nasty Boys. The Nasty Boys fought back and it became a Pier 6 brawl. Fans eating it up. Sags brawled with Destroyer #2 and Knobs was slugging it out with Destroyer #1. Knobs got the upper hand on Destroyer #1 and drove him over the top rope to the floor with a clothesline. Knobs followed Destroyer #1 to the floor. Heenan, in his red sequined jacket, red bow-tie, black shirt, black slacks and black dress shoes, was already in a panic at ringside. Sags and Destroyer #2 were battling in the ring. Knobs grabbed a steel folding chair from under the ring. As Destroyer #1 got up...WHAM!...Knobs blasted him over the head with a chair shot. Destroyer #1 crashed to the floor.

Destroyer #2 had gained the advantage on Sags in the ring and left the ring and dropped to the floor to check on his dazed partner. Knobs climbed in the ring to check on Sags. Destroyer #2 helped a shaky legged Destroyer #1 to his feet. Heenan came over and started talking with his men. Ref ordered The Destroyers to get into the ring.

Match 1 (Bracket A Match)

The Nasty Boys vs. The Destroyers (w/ Bobby Heenan)

(Ref called for the bell to start the match.

The Nastys gave The Destroyers all they could handle and more during the opener. Wild match with some crazy brawling. Nasty Boys came close on a couple of occasions to scoring the major upset but The Destroyers escaped defeat each time. Nasty Boys also fought off defeat during the match.

At the end of the match, Sags and Destroyer #1 were the legal men in the ring. Destroyer #1 had the advantage and worked over Sags with clubbing forearm smashes and a series of rapid-fire shoulder blocks in the corner. Sags in a bad way. Destroyer #1 then yanked Sags out of the corner and popped Sags with the hangman's neckbreaker. Destroyer #1 for the cover and hooked the leg. 1...2... Sags kicked out. Sags got up into the sit-up position and Destroyer #1 came up behind Sags, grabbed Sags under the chin and popped Sags with a series of rights to the side of the head. Destroyer #1 backed up as Sags got on all fours. Destroyer #1 charged at Sags and went to punt him in the head but Sags moved and Destroyer #1 crashed to the mat. Sags rolled up Destroyer #1 for the pin try and, reverting to his heel days, had a handful of the masked man's tights. 1...2...2-3/4... Destroyer #1 kicked Sags off. Crowd groaned. Destroyer #1 got to his feet as Sags was getting up. Destroyer #1 moved in with more clubbing forearms across Sags' upper back. Sags then stunned him by grabbing Destroyer #1 around the waist and nailing him with a running inverted atomic drop. Destroyer #1 went down and was holding the goods. Sags, still feeling the effects Destroyer #1 had laid on him, dropped to his knees. Sags started to get to his feet as Destroyer #1 started to recover. As Sags moved closer to tag in Knobs, Destroyer #1 was able to lunge over and grab Sags' ankle. Sags lunged forward and made the hot tag to Knobs as the hot West Virginia fans popped. Destroyer #1 tried to beg off on his knees to no avail as Knobs fired away with head shots on Destroyer #1. Knobs pulled him to his feet and whipped Destroyer #1 into the ropes and caught Destroyer #1 coming off with a flying shoulder tackle. Destroyer #1 crashed to the mat.

Destroyer #2 got a few boot licks in on Knobs before the sinister pair left the ring and joined an applauding Heenan at ringside. The Nastys were hurting and laid out in the ring.

WINNER: Destroyers - Pinfall - Destroyer #2 pinned Knobs with the Cattle Decapitation - 11:36)

(After the match: As Heenan and his men were making their way back up the aisle, two men in tuxedos came out and walked quickly down the aisle right past Heenan and crew.

Stack: "Hey! That's Buddy Rose and Doug Somers!"

Pedicino: "Steve, we know they were signed recently by the UWL! But what are they doing here tonight?!"

Crowd didn't seem to know what to make of the duo as there was very little reaction from them.

Rose and Somers had a brief discussion on the apron and were debating about which of them should step into the ring first. Somers gestured for Rose to step into the ring first. Rose shook his head and finger 'no' and gestured for Somers to step into the ring first. Somers nodded approvingly at Rose's gesture and stepped into the ring and Rose followed. The pair then took off the white gloves they were wearing and stuffed them in the breast pocket of their tux jackets. They then each removed their jackets and placed them on opposite top turnbuckles. Each man then rolled up his sleeves. Rose and Somers looked down at the Nasty Boys. The two then had a brief discussion about who should attack whom. Rose pointed at the downed Knobs and then himself and then Rose pointed at Sags and then Somers. Somers agreed with Rose again.

The assault was on...

Rose started stomping away on the downed Knobs and Somers did the same to Sags. Somers pulled up Sags as Rose pulled up Knobs and they whipped Knobs and Sags into each other. Knobs and Sags went back down. Rose grabbed Sags and lifted him up in the bearhug position. Somers ran and hit the ropes behind Rose and then hit the opposite ropes and came off and pulverized Sags with a lariat clothesline (aka, Hart Attack Clothesline). Sags dead to the world. Knobs started to regain his bearings when Rose stomped away on Knobs, picked Knobs up in the bearhug and he and Somers repeated the Hart Attack clothesline on Knobs. Both Nastys laid out in the ring. Fair amount of boos for Rose and Somers as they looked at the damage they had inflicted.

The pair grabbed their tux jackets and left the ring and headed back up the aisle to more boos as the ref climbed back in the ring and checked on Knobs and Sags and then signaled for some UWL security members to come out as the segment ended.)

(Announcers discussed The Destroyers from IPW defeating the Nasty Boys in a wild match and then Rose and Somers making their unannounced UWL debut by leaving the Nastys laying after the match. Said match 2 of Bracket A of the Crockett Cup was next!)

After a brief pause, music-only version of 'Breaking The Law' by Judas Priest played over the p.a. system. Crowd exploded. They got even louder when Lord, Link and Journey came out and made their way to the ring. Both were carrying their tag titles. Link slammed his head against the ring post three times.

Adonis then backed up and charged at Link and nailed Link with a running high knee to the upper back. Link hurting. Adonis pounded on Link's back with forearm smashes. Link walked away from the buckles and Adonis came up behind Link and nailed him with the backstabber. Adonis for the cover and hooked the leg. 1...2... Link kicked out. Adonis pulled Link up and rammed Link's head into the top buckle. Link suddenly started to come alive. Adonis slammed Link's head into the top buckle again. No affect on Link. Link appeared to be getting mad. Adonis slammed Link's head into the top buckle a third time. Link stood straight up and turned around. Adonis backed off and looked like he had no idea what to do because he wasn't at the meeting where they booked the finish. Adonis went to punch Link in the head but Link blocked it and stunned Adonis with a solid headbutt. Adonis staggered. Link moved in and popped Adonis with a few more brutal headbutts.

WINNER: Lord & Link - Pinfall - Link pinned Adonis with the High Angle Spinebuster - 8:40)

(Announcers discussed the impressive win by Lord and Link over Hall and Adonis. They pointed out that one team from The Firm was eliminated and wondered if DiBiase and Rude would join them before the first round was over. Said the two Bracket B matches were coming up!)

VIDEO:

LN: "Buddy Rose and Doug Somers! I have to ask, what was that all about?! Why are you in tuxedos?!"

Rose: "Long time, no see, Larry. Whenever 'Playboy' Buddy Rose and 'Pretty Boy' Doug Somers come into a new promotion, we like to announce our arrival with a bit of panache'. We like to make a splash. And we certainly made one tonight at the expense of the Nasty Boys."

LN: "You two had better be careful. Knobs and Sags won't take this lying down."

Somers: "We don't care how they'll take it! If they want a fight with us then they can have one! Buddy just told you why we did it! The 'Playboy' and the 'Pretty Boy' are here and we're gonna shake things up on the tag team scene in the UWL!"

Rose: "Larry, we would love to stay and chat. But we've got a cotillion to attend. We'll talk more later."

Rose and Somers then walked out the door into the night.)

The Dog Pound vs. The Anderson Brothers

('Welcome To The Jungle' played over the p.a. system and the Dog Pound came out to a strong response. They ran down the aisle barking and stopped at the front row, climbed over the barricade into the seats, stood on a couple of chairs and barked at the crowd and the crowd barked back. They then jumped over the barricade and got in the ring and ran around and barked some more as the crowd continued barking along.

After a brief pause, 'Al Var Alda' by Wardruna played. All three Anderson brothers came to the ring. They were each in their black ring jackets with the life rune on the back and the word 'Anderson' above it and the runes on the sleeves and their tights and boots.

Announcers pointed out that whichever two Andersons wrestled this match, they would have to be the Anderson team for the duration of the tournament.

All three Andersons took off their jackets and were huddled and talking in the corner. Ref came over and asked which two would be wrestling in the match. Lars slapped hands with his brothers and left the ring and dropped to the floor.

These two teams have had memorable matches before and this was no exception. Andersons worked on bodyparts of Buzz and Steiner during the match to try and soften them up for a submission. Good high impact wrestling from the Dog Pound.

Bracket B

The Dog Pound vs. Ted DiBiase & Rick Rude (The Firm)

They then sent it backstage.)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson interviewed Bobby Heenan in the locker room. The Destroyers were standing behind Heenan.

LN: "Bobby, your men The Destroyers earned a hard-fought victory over the Nasty Boys in the first round. Now, it's on to the tournament semifinals and you're facing the UWL World Tag Team Champions Lord Humongous and Missing Link."

BH: "What is it about the tag teams in the UWL?! Are any of them normal?! The Nasty Boys, were they given psychological tests before they were allowed to wrestle for this company?! Those guys are completely nuts?! They're dangerous and shouldn't be allowed near a wrestling ring! There's wrestling dangerous and then there's 'I'm completely nuts' dangerous and the Nasty Boys fall into the latter category!

"Now, we're gonna be facing Lord Humongous and Missing Link! Yet another team that only the UWL woul sign! Here are two men who can't speak past the grunt and groan level and not only are they allowed to wrestle here, they're your World Tag Team Champions! Did you witness what Missing Link did to Adonis with those headbutts! I think Link's head is just all rock hard bone! There's nothing else in there! Is the UWL gonna pay for Adonis to get a brain scan at a local hospital to see if he suffered any serious head trauma from those headbutts?! And that Lord Humongous wrestles wearing a hard plastic hockey goalie mask and no one does a thing about it! Memo to President Watts: Hockey masks and pro wrestling aren't really a good fit! You don't see teams like these in Icons of Pro Wrestling! No, sir! We have normal teams there, like The Eliminators! I can't believe I just used the words 'normal' and 'The Eliminators' in the same sentence! The UWL is an extremely hazardous work environment with some of the wrestlers they've got running loose around here!

"But know this, just like the Destroyers handled the crazy Nasty Boys, they're gonna do the same with Lord Humongous and the Missing Link! And then, it's on to the finals! I don't care if we face the Dog Pound or Ted DiBiase and Rick Rude! We're walking out of that ring at the end of the night with the Crockett Cup trophy, the right to challenge for whatever UWL titles we want to go after and, my favorite thing of all...$2 million dollars! And it's worth these two men putting their bodies on the line to enhance my bottom line!")

Destroyer #2 turned to try and tag his partner but Lord grabbed Destroyer #2 by the tights and yanked him around. The two were face-to-face and Destroyer #2 punched Lord in the face. Big mistake as Lord wears a hockey goalie mask. Destroyer #2 grabbed his hurting hand and Lord started hammering away on Destroyer #2 with punches that put Destroyer #2 in another mental zip code. Lord then raised his arms and drove his huge forearms forcefully into the shoulders of Destroyer #2. Destroyer #2 dropped to his knees. Lord snapped up Destroyer #2, whipped him into the ropes and caught Destroyer #2 coming off in the gorilla press position. Lord then dropped Destroyer #2 behind his back.

As Rude and Sawyer fought on the floor, DiBiase nailed Steiner with the Billion Dollar Blaster (aka, Skull Crushing Finale). DiBiase covered Steiner and hooked the leg. 1... Sawyer had fought off Rude and tried to get back in the ring to break up the pin try but Rude grabbed Sawyer by the leg and kept Sawyer from getting in the ring. ...2...3! Ref called for the bell. Mixed crowd reaction to the win. Sawyer finally was able to kick Rude off and get back in the ring. As the ref briefly checked on Steiner, DiBiase turned away from the ref and quickly returned the glove to his tights. Ref then went and raised DiBiase's hand in victory. DiBiase then left the ring and joined Rude on the floor. No congratulations this round as the pair was all business as they headed to the back.

WINNER: Rude & DiBiase - Pinfall - DiBiase pinned Steiner with the Billion Dollar Blaster - 7:36)

(Announcers discussed DiBiase and Rude of The Firm making it to the final of the Crockett Cup.)

(Announcers then intro'd a video of Father Dutch.

VIDEO:

Video faded in and Father Dutch was standing in front of Grog and The Sacred Anvil. They were standing in front of a black curtain and large cross.

Grog and Anvil had their heads bowed and Gregorian chants played in the background.

FD: "Hello, my dear friends. This is Father Dutch. I come to you in a spirit of humility. As you know, in recent weeks we have had run-ins with one Koko B. Ware. We've had some time to pontificate on this matter and have come to the conclusion that we have behaved in an unfair manner towards Koko. So, next week, we will humble ourselves and look to meet with Koko and show him how sorry we are for things we've said about him and how we've treated him. Koko, we want to show our commitment to the spirit of brotherhood. We have something very special planned for you. Hope to see you there, Koko. God bless and amen."

Father Dutch bowed his head as the video faded to black.)

(Announcers discussed the Father Dutch video. Hyped still to come: Crockett Cup Final: Rude & DiBiase vs. Lord & Link. Said the UWL World Title Match: Piper (WC) vs. Nash (The Firm) was coming up!)

(Video highlights aired from Nash's recent win streak and last week where Nash and Piper signed a contract to meet for the World Title this week and Nash leaving Piper laying with the jack-knife powerbomb and taking the World Title and holding it high in the air while standing over the downed champion Piper.)

Match 7 (UWL World Title Match)

Roddy Piper (WC) vs. Kevin Nash (The Firm)

('Money' played over the p.a. system and out came Nash to a mixed crowd reaction. Nash was alone. Nash got in the ring and walked to the center and slowly raised his arms victoriously in the air. Nash had a very serious look on his face.

After a brief pause, bagpipe music filled the arena. Crowd pop equaling that of Lord and Link as Piper came out on the entrance stage. Piper was in his kilt, t-shirt and ring boots. He had the title on around his waist. Piper also had an extremely serious look on his face as he made his way to the ring. Piper did not slap hands with fans. Once in the ring, Piper briefly acknowledged the crowd.

Ref took the belt from Piper and held it up for all to see. Ref called the two men to the center of the ring and laid down the ground rules and patted both men down. Piper and Nash never took their eyes off of one another. Ref then sent each man to his respective corner.

Ref called for the bell.

Piper pulled on the top rope and Nash charged out of his corner and went to nail Piper with a double sledge but Piper turned around just in time and instead caught Nash with a gut punch and then peppered Nash with a seris of boxing-style punches to the head and body. Piper whipped Nash into the ropes and caught Nash coming off with a dropkick that drove Nash next to the ropes. Piper charged in on Nash but Nash stunned Piper with an elbow to the chest. Piper staggered backwards and Nash dropped Piper to the mat with a clothesline. Nash went for the quick cover. 1... Piper kicked out. Nash nailed the downed Piper with some head shots and then picked up Piper and hoisted Piper on his shoulder and went to nail Piper with the snake eys but Piper escaped Nash's grasp and dropped down behind Nash and shoved Nash front-first into the buckles. Piper mounted the middle buckle over Nash and nailed Nash with some forearms to the back and then locked Nash in a sleeper hold. Nash countered by reaching around and grabbing Piper and walking backwards out of the corner and falling backwards and driving Piper into the mat with Nash on top of him. Piper hurting. Nash got to his feet and grabbed Piper and whipped Piper into the buckles. Nash moved in with a series of elbow strikes to the side of the head. Nash then started choking Piper out with his boot. Nash broke the illegal move at the count of four. Nash then drove a series of knees into Piper's mid-section. Nash ripped Piper out of the corner and nailed Piper with a reverse side slam. Nash for the cover. 1...2... Piper got a shoulder up. Nash pulled Piper up and whipped Piper into the ropes and Piper grabbed the top rope and held on. Nash charged at Piper and went to kick Piper in the face but Piper moved and Nash crotched himself on the top rope. Piper then started shaking the top rope and Nash was singing soprano. Nash climbed back into the ring. Piper fired away with a series of boxing-style punches to the head and body and poked Nash in the eyes. Nash stumbled back into the corner and was grabbing at his eyes. Piper grabbed Nash in a side headlock and nailed the big man with a running bulldog. Piper went out on the apron and mounted the top buckle as Nash got to his feet in the ring. When Nash got up, he as greeted with a double sledge to the top of the head from Piper. Nash went down again. Piper for the cover. 1...2... Nash kicked out. As Nash got to his feet, Piper grabbed Nash and whipped Nash into the corner. Piper mounted the middle buckle and started popping Nash in the head with punches and then Piper channeled his inner heel and started biting Nash's forehead. Piper broke the skin tasting party at the count of four and dropped to the mat.

Piper whipped Nash into the opposite buckles and moved in on Nash but Nash came firing out of the corner and dropped Piper with a big clothesline. As Piper got up, Nash grabbed Piper, hoisted Pipr up on his shoulder and nailed Piper with the snake eyes. Piper crashed to the mat. Nash for the cover. 1...2...2-1/2... Piper kicked out. Crowd buzzing. Nash whipped Piper into the buckles and blasted Piper with a running shoulder block. Piper walked out of the corner and dropped to his knees. Nash snapped up Piper and whipped Piper into the ropes and bent over looking to catch Piper with a backdrop but Piper leapfrogged Nash, spun around and locked Nash in the sleeper. West Virginia fans love the sleeper! Piper jumped on Nash's back. Nash maneuvered around in the ring and tried to shake Piper but couldn't do it. Nash appeared to be weakening. Nash started to run towards a corner with Piper on his back with the sleeper firmly locked in. But Nash suddenly hooked a u-turn and headed in the other direction. Nash smashed into the ref. Ref crashed against the buckles and went down in the corner. Piper still had Nash locked in the sleeper. Nash trying to escape and was weakening. With the ref down, Hall hit the ring and came up behind Piper and clubbed Piper in the back. Piper lost his grip on the sleeper and crashed to the mat. Hall put the boots to the downed Piper as Nash regained his bearings. Hall snapped Piper up and whipped Piper at Nash and Nash nailed Piper with a boot to the gut. Piper doubled over. Nash grabbed Piper and nailed Piper with the jack-knife powerbomb as Hall grabbed the ref and dragged him over to where Nash was covering Piper. Hall then left the ring and dropped to the floor. Ref made the count. 1.....2.....2-9/10..... Piper got a shoulder up. Crowd buzzing some more. Nash pissed. As Piper got to his feet, Nash pounded on Piper and then went to jack-knife powerbomb Piper again but Piper twice blocked the move and backdropped Nash to the canvas. Both men down. Ref still regaining his bearings. Both men slowly to their feet. Hall looking on at ringside. Nash facing awy from Piper. Piper seemed unsteady. But when Nash turned around...WHAM!...Piper blasted Nash with a spear out of nowhere. Crowd exploded. No way Hall was going to interfere as Lex Luger, in street clothes, charged to ringside and dropped Hall with a forearm smash to the head. Piper covered Nash and hooked the leg. Ref coherent enough. 1....2....3! Ref slowly turned and called for the bell as the fans roared.

Ref went over and took the title. Piper got to his feet and the ref handed Piper the title and raised his hand in victory. Piper left the ring and held the title aloft when he got to the floor as fans cheered their hero as he made his way back up the aisle.

WINNER: Piper - Pinfall - Spear - 9:15)

(Announcers discussed yet another Firm-ite being thwarted by Piper in their goal to get their hands on the UWL World Title. Said the final of the Crockett Cup was coming up! Then sent it backstage.)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson interviewed UWL owner KD Smith.

They were standing in front of the Crockett Cup trophy.

LN: "I'm here with UWL owner KD Smith. KD is here tonight to make the official presentation of this, the Crockett Cup trophy, to the winner of tonight's final pitting UWL World Tag Team Champions Lord Humongous and the Missing Link against Ted DiBiase and Rick Rude of The Firm.

"KD, Firm Director DiBiase has made it crystal clear that his ultimate goal is to one day control this company. A win tonight by him and Rick Rude would earn them $2 million dollars plus the opportunity for the winners to challenge for whatever UWL championships they choose to go after. Are you worried about a possible win by Ted DiBiase and Rick Rude tonight?"

KD: "That's a fair question, Larry. It's no secret that Ted DiBiase wants to one day take over the UWL and have The Firm run the show. While there is some concern on my part right now, the fact is that I own the company. DiBiase keeps talking about making a power-play for the UWL. But he'll have a helluva fight on his hands if he thinks he's just going to have it handed to him. We in the UWL must take DiBiase's threat very seriously. We live in an age of hostile takeovers. We see people who've created and built companies from the ground up be forced out by enemies within the gates, if you will. Ted DiBiase reminds me of a potential corporate raider. Right now, the UWL is in good shape and on solid ground from an ownership control standpoint. But in business, things can change in the proverbial blink of an eye. If DiBiase and Rude win tonight, I will do my job as owner of the company and present them with the Crockett Cup trophy and congratulate them on their victory."

LN: "I don't think it's a secret that if DiBiase and Rude win the final that DiBiase will want to challenge Roddy Piper for the UWL World Title. He seems obsessed with the idea that having the World Title means he and The Firm will have great power. What's your take on that?"

KD: "He's right. Being the World Champion means you have a lot of clout in a wrestling promotion. You call a lot of shots because you're the champion. With that belt, you do have more sway than the average wrestler. It's just the nature of business. So far, Roddy Piper has done a great job of holding The Firm at bay in World Title matches as we witnessed just a few minutes ago. The Firm looks at the World Title as a major stepping stone in their efforts to try and make a grab for control of the company. We'll just have to wait and see how things play out in the weeks and months ahead."

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

KD: "Thank you.")

(Video highlights aired from the two semi-final matches.)

Match 8 (Crockett Cup Final)

Lord Humongous & Missing Link (w/ Dark Journey) (UWL WTTC) vs. Ted DiBiase & Rick Rude (The Firm)

(Lee Marshall was standing center ring with mic in hand.

LM: "Ladies and Gentlemen! It is now time for the final of the Crockett Cup Tag Team Tournament!"

Crowd cheered.

LM: "The winning team will receive the Crockett Cup trophy, $2 million dollars and the chance to challenge for the UWL titles of their choosing. The winning team will announce the championships they want to go after and where they want the matches to occur on next week's 'Slam!'"

'Money' played over the p.a. system and out came DiBiase and Rude of The Firm to a mixed crowd reaction.

After a brief pause, 'Breaking The Law' played over the p.a. system. Fans popped big-time as Lord, Link and Journey made their way to the ring. Lord got up on the apron, pounded his chest and pointed at DiBiase and Rude. Link got in the ring and stomped around.

Back-and-forth battle between two very different teams. Some near falls during the match. Rude and DiBiase took a couple of shortcuts during the bout.

At the end of the match, Lord and DiBiase were the legal men in the ring. Lord was on the offensive and pounded away on DiBiase and then whipped DiBiase into the ropes and caught DiBiase coming off and hoisted DiBiase in the air for the gorilla press slam. Lord dropped DiBiase to the mat face-first behind him. Lord ran to hit the ropes but Rude came down the apron and caught Lord with a knee to the back. Lord dropped to his knees. DiBiase still down. Ref went over and had words with Rude and Rude strongly stated that he had nothing to do with Lord being down. Lord made it to his feet first and went over and grabbed DiBiase by the hair and started pulling DiBiase up when DiBiase suddenly low-blowed Lord behind the ref's back and caught Lord in a small package. Rude very animatedly gestured for the ref to turn around. Ref quickly drops down for the count. 1...2... Lord kicked out. DiBiase got to his feet and put the boots to Lord. As Lord started getting up, DiBiase moved in and locked Lord in the Billion Dollar Dream (aka, Million Dollar Dream) and turned it into the Dream Street (aka, Cobra Clutch Slam). DiBiase for the cover again. 1....2... Lord kicked out again. DiBiase snapped Lord up and whipped Lord into the ropes near his corner and Link slap tagged Lord on the shoulder. Ref signaled it was a legal tag but DiBiase didn't see it. DiBiase caught Lord coming off with an elbow to the chest as Link mounted the top buckle. Lord stumbled back but didn't go down. Crowd went nuts went Link came off the top rope with a flying headbutt on DiBiase. DiBiase crashed to the mat. Link went for the cover. 1...2... Rude hit the ring and stomped on Link's upper back to break up the pin try. Link stood up and looked at Rude in the ring. Rude immediately backed off and left the ring. Rude then suddenly dropped to the floor and started moving in the direction of Dark Journey. Lord dropped down to the floor to protect his manager. A shaky DiBiase started to get to his feet in the ring. Rude grabbed Journey and pulled her in front of him. Lord glaring at Rude. Ref distracted by the activity on the floor. As DiBiase got up, Link picked up DiBiase in position for the high angle spinebuster (aka, Alabama Slam) but DiBiase was able to wriggle free from Link's grasp and drop to his back on the mat. Rude shoved Journey into Lord's arms but the staredown between Rude and Lord continued. Link was momentarily confused by losing DiBiase. DiBiase then reached up, grabbed Link and took Link over with a sunset flip just as the ref turned around. DiBiase for the pin. 1...2...3! Link kicked out just a split-second after the three count. Ref called for the bell. Firm fans cheered.

DiBiase got to his feet in the ring and started laughing and pointing at his head gesturing how clever he was. Link got up and was still confused. Rude jumped in the ring and was jumping up and down. Ref raised DiBiase's and Rude's hands in victory. Lee Marshall climbed up on the apron and the ref talked with him briefly. Journey was able to get Link out of the ring and Link joined Lord and Journey at ringside. The remaining members of The Firm came to the ring to congratulate their Firm bretheren for winning the Cup.

LM: "Ladies and Gentlemen! In a time of 10 minutes, 24 seconds, your winners...Ted DiBiase and Rick Rude!"

Mixed crowd reaction. Camera caught Journey leading the defeated Lord and Link back up the aisle.

WINNER: DiBiase & Rude - Pinfall - DiBiase pinned Link with a Sunset Flip - 10:24)

(Trophy Presentation

Two men dressed in green jackets, white shirts, black ties, black dress pants and black shoes and wearing white gloves made their way to the ring carrying the Crockett Cup trophy.

A nicely dressed woman then came down the aisle and got in the ring with a big check with DiBiase's and Rude's names on it.

Ring announcer Lee Marshall got in the ring with mic in hand.

LM: "It is now time for the official trophy presentation. Would you please welcome at this time, UWL owner KD Smith and UWL President Bill Watts."

Smith and Watts came to the ring in suits. Smith had a mic. They got a small crowd reaction.

Smith and Watts climbed into the ring. Standing in one corner were the handlers of the Crockett Cup waiting to present it.

Smith and DiBiase locked eyes and a gleeful DiBiase said something off-mic to Smith. Smith just looked at DiBiase.

KD: "Ted DiBiase and Rick Rude, first, allow me to present you with this symbolic check for $2 million dollars."

The woman handed DiBiase and Rude the check. The victors each held an end of the check as photographers at ringside snapped pictures of the moment. DiBiase then turned and handed the check to Adrain Adonis. A smiling Adonis held the check in the air behind DiBiase and Rude. Adonis walked around in the ring with the check held aloft.

KD: "And now, the UWL presents the trophy to winners of the 2013 Crockett Cup Tag Team Tournament, Ted DiBiase and Rick Rude."

The two trophy holders walked to DiBiase and Rude and handed DiBiase and Rude the Cup. Each man grabbed a handle and victoriously held the cup high as more pics were snapped as the other Firm members celebrated along with them as the program faded to black.)

(Show Intro)

(Crowd Shots/Pyro)

Ware; TV Title: Rip Oliver (TVC) vs. Buzz Sawyer; an i'view w/ Wahoo and JJ Dillon; and more.)

Match 1

'Bad Boy' Brunzell vs. Sam Houston

(Houston was already in the ring.

Brunzell came to the ring to the song 'Bad Boys' by the Miami Sound Machine. He was in his black derby hat, black tights with 'Bad Boy' written across the back, a t-shirt with 'Bad Boy' written across the front and black and white boots with 'BBB' on the outside of each boot. He received a modest amount of boos coming to the ring.

Once in the ring, Brunzell took the r.a. mic from Lee Marshall.

BBB: "This is just perfect! Sam Houston! Now this is a guy that the 'Bad Boy' can beat! So, Sam, prepared to be taken Bad Boy University by the man who is the creme' de la creme' of bad boys!"

Ref called for the bell and Brunzell charged out of the corner and went to dropkick Sam but Sam fell out of he way and Brunzell crashed to the mat. Houtson circled around behind Brunzell as Brunzell got to his feet. Houston nailed Brunzell with the back stabber. Sam then covered Brunzell and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell. Fair amount of cheers from the crowd for Houston. Houston had his hand raised in victory by the ref and then left the ring and slapped hands with fans on the way back up the aisle as Brunzell got to his feet in the ring.

WINNER: Houston - Pinfall - Back Stabber - :16)

(After the match: Brunzell was favoring his back as he stood up. He asked for the r.a. mic once again. The house and ring lights went dark and Brunzell was standing in a white spotlight.

BBB: "OK. Alright. Look...this 'Bad Boy' thing hasn't been working out for me too well. I've been doing bad boy things but they just haven't clicked for me the way I thought they would. Just the other day, I stole a whole bunch of straws from a Wendy's because that's a bad boy thing to do. For my efforts, I was chased down and beaten up in the parking lot by two female employees. I've got to do something to bring the true bad boy that's in me to the surface. I'll find it and dig it out. The next time you see me I will be the bad boy I was always meant to be.")

(Announcers discussed Brunzell losing in quick fashion to Sam Houston and Brunzell's post-match speech. Hyped still to come:

Crockett Cup winners Ted DiBiase and Rick Rude will announce the UWL championships they will challenge for and when; Greg Valentine vs. The Missing Link; Daphne makes her debut; a video appearance by Dusty Rhodes; DDP vs. David Schultz (The Firm); Father Dutch has something to say to Koko B. Ware; TV Title: Rip Oliver (TVC) vs. Buzz Sawyer; an i'view w/ Wahoo and JJ Dillon; and more. Said Buddy Rose and Doug Somers were up next!)

(Video aired from last week of Rose and Somers coming to the ring in tuxedos after the Nasty Boys had lost their Crockett Cup match and laying out both Knobs and Sags with the Hart Attack clothesline.

Video then aired of backstage interviewer Larry Nelson catching up with the pair as they were leaving the building for a quick interview.

VIDEO:

LN: "Buddy Rose and Doug Somers! I have to ask, what was that all about?! Why are you in tuxedos?!"

Rose: "Long time, no see, Larry. Whenever 'Playboy' Buddy Rose and 'Pretty Boy' Doug Somers come into a new promotion, we like to announce our arrival with a bit of panache'. We like to make a splash. And we certainly made one tonight at the expense of the Nasty Boys."

LN: "You two had better be careful. Knobs and Sags won't take this lying down."

Somers: "We don't care how they'll take it! If they want a fight with us then they can have one! Buddy just told you why we did it! The 'Playboy' and the 'Pretty Boy' are here and we're gonna shake things up on the tag team scene in the UWL!"

Rose: "Larry, we would love to stay and chat. But we've got a cotillion to attend. We'll talk more later."

Rose and Somers then walked out the door into the night.)

(In-ring: Lee Marshall interviewed Rose and Somers.

Rose and Somers came to the ring to the song 'I'm Too Sexy' by Right Said Fred. They were once again in their tuxedos. They received a fair amount of boos on the way to the ring.

LM: "Buddy Rose and Doug Somers, I see you're wearing your tuxedos again. As we heard in your interview with Larry Nelson last week, you guys chose to attack the Nasty Boys in the fashion you did because you always like to make an impact in your debut in a new promotion. But, did you have to go to the lengths you did with Sags and Knobs to make that impact?"

Rose: "Lee, we decide how we'll make an impact when we come into a new promotion. As you saw last week, we made our debut with a lot of style and pizzazz. We showed up in formal attire and laid out the Nasty boys. Nothing screams 'unforgettable debut' than that."

LM: "Word is that the Nasty Boys are pretty hot about what happened and they want revenge. Are you worried?"

Rose: "We're not worried at all. As a matter of act, we would have been disappointed if the Nastys had reacted any other way. The name of this business is professional wrestling. And we'll step into the ring with the Nasty Boys any time they want to. And we'll make an even bigger mark in the UWL after our match with them."

LM: "Buddy, I can't help but notice that you're nickname is 'Playboy'. I gotta tell ya, you look don't look anything like what a playboy is in most peoples' minds."

Rose: "What are you implying, Lee?"

LM: "Well, you don't exactly look like a guy who hits the gym too often and keeps himself in..."

Rose: "I'll have you know that I weigh a slim, trim 217 pounds."

LM: "217 pounds?! You mean you weigh 217 pounds on one side, right?"

Rose: "Nooooooooooo! I weigh 217 pounds total! And, we've already signed a contract for our debut match on 'Slam!' which will take place next week! Then, the ladies out here will see that I am 217 pounds, total, of twisted steel and sex appeal! Yes, I wrestle with my shirt off!"

LM: "O.....K..... Doug Somers, you are the other half of this tag team. Anything you'd like to add to this conversation?"

Somers: "The Nasty Boys are pissed at the 'Playboy' and the 'Pretty Boy', great! What we did last week was not only done to send a message to the Nasty Boys! It was also a loud and clear message sent to every tag team in the UWL! We came here to shake things up! Last week was just the start! The Nasty Boys are just the first team who's going down at the hands of Rose and Somers!")

(Announcers discussed the Rose and Somers interview. Hyped still to come: Crockett Cup winners Ted DiBiase and Rick Rude will announce the UWL championships they will challenge for and when; Greg Valentine vs. The Missing Link; Daphne makes her debut; an appearance by Dusty Rhodes; DDP vs. David Schultz (The Firm); Father Dutch has something to say to Koko B. Ware; TV Title: Rip Oliver (TVC) vs. Buzz Sawyer; an i'view w/ Wahoo and JJ Dillon; and more. Said Rip Oliver defends the TV Title next!)

Match 2 (UWL TV Title Match)

Rip Oliver (TVC) vs. Buzz Sawyer

(Sawyer came to the ring first to the song 'Delirious' by ZZ Top. He got a decent ovation coming to the ring. Buzz barked and slapped hands on the way to the ring and then got in the ring and ran around and barked as the crowd barked back.

Oliver came to the ring to the strains of 'Bad To The Bone' by George Thorogood. He had the TV Title around his waist.

Buzz gave Rip a fight and had Rip on the ropes a few times but couldn't put Rip away.

At the end of the match, Buzz was on the offensive and had worked over Rip and bodyslammed Rip 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 Rip rolled out of the way and Buzz crashed to the mat. Both men down. Both men made it to their feet at the same time. Buzz moved in on Rip...WHAM!...Rip annihilated Buzz with the superkick out of nowhere. Buzz crashed to the mat. Oliver covered Buzz and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell. Ref took the title from Marshall, handed it to Rip and raised Rip's hand in victory.

WINNER: Oliver - Pinfall - Superkick - 7:28)

(After the match: As Oliver prepared to leave the ring, Adrian Adonis of The Firm walked out on the entrance stage with mic in hand. He received a mixed crowd reaction. Adonis made his way part-way down the aisle. He was in street clothes and was wearing his 'Hell's Kitchen' t-shirt.

Adrian: "Rip Oliver! I have a question for you!"

Oliver was now standing on the apron looking at Adonis.

Adrian: "You're a two-time TV Champion! But during both of your runs, you've never put the TV Title on the line against a member of The Firm! Why is that, Rippy?! Are you scared of us?! Is that the reason you've never put that belt up against any of us?!"

Oliver turned and demanded the r.a. mic.

RO: "I'm not afraid of any damn member of The Firm, Adonis. If you don't believe me, then why don't you just step into this ring and find out."

Adrian: "I'll step into the ring with you...if you put the TV Title on the line!"

RO: "Done deal as far as I'm concerned. You want a title shot then you can have one. That goes for every last stinking member of The Firm, too."

Adonis and Oliver stared each other down and the crowd was buzzing as the segment ended.)

(Announcers discussed Adonis challenging Oliver to a TV Title match. Said an interview with Wahoo McDaniel and JJ Dillon was coming up!)

(Video aired for the 'UWL on Tour':

(Video clips aired from the Wahoo-Race Indian strap match from two weeks ago that was won by Wahoo, and JJ assaulting a hurting Race with the strap after the match.)

(In-ring: Wahoo McDaniel and JJ Dillon promo.

The pair came to the ring to boos. JJ was in a suit and Wahoo was in street clothes. Both had mics.

WM: "Harley, I want you to know that two weeks ago in our Indian strap match, every lash I delivered to you with that strap was delivered with pure, unadulterated malice. Being the veteran you are, I thought you would have known better than to tangle with me in the match that is my specialty. But I know Harley well enough to know that this situation between us isn't over. Not by a longshot. And that's fine with me. My goal isn't just to defeat Harley. My goal is to destroy him. Our feud will not end with a bang for him. Rather, it will end with a whimper. When all is said and done, Harley will either leave this ring on a stretcher or on his hands and knees in humiliating fashion. I have no remorse for Harley. None. And things between us promise to get more wild and more violent. It all depends who emerges the victor at the end. And that will be me.

"Harley is cheered today. I was cheered by you fans for years. What did it get me? Absolutely nothing. You fans can take a long walk off a very short pier for all I care. I'm on 'Wahoo Time' now.

"And Arn Anderson, you wanna stick your nose into my business like you did after the strap match, then I can promise you that nose of yours will be knocked out of joint. Mind your own business, Arn.

"People have asked me if I think aligning myself with JJ Dillon has been a mistake. The answer to that is no. I still firmly believe in JJ as my manager. He is the man who will manage me to my second UWL World Title reign. But first, I'm going to deal with Harley. Once Harley is finished, I will then concentrate my efforts on going after the title. All things in their own due time. And my time as World Champion will come again with this man at the helm."

JJ: "Again you speak the truth, Wahoo. When this man says something, you can take it to the bank. Harley! Every lash I gave you with that strap last week you deserved! When I choked the life out of you with that strap you deserved that as well! Harley, you could make things easier on yourself by just retiring! You could save yourself the pain and humiliation of what's to come by simply walking away for good! You had a great career. But that time has passed! If you insist on continuing this feud with Wahoo, things can only get worse for you! You really should..."

Crowd cheered as Harley came to the ring in street clothes. He was carrying a mic. He did not slap hands with fans on the way to the ring.

Race got in the ring and JJ got behind Wahoo for protection.

WM: "What do you want?"

HR: "I came out here to tell you both that I'm not going anywhere. This feud will continue and things will get uglier. But in the end, Wahoo, I'm gonna hurt you."

Race then pointed at JJ.

HR: "And then I'm gonna hurt him...real bad."

Fans cheered as Race and Wahoo glared at each other briefly and then Race turned and left the ring and headed back up the aisle without slapping fans' hands as a shaken JJ cowered behind Wahoo in the ring.)

(Announcers discussed the Wahoo-JJ/Race situation. Hyped still to come: Crockett Cup winners Ted DiBiase and Rick Rude will announce the UWL championships they will challenge for and when; Greg Valentine vs. The Missing Link; a video appearance by Dusty Rhodes; DDP vs. David Schultz (The Firm); Father Dutch has something to say to Koko B. Ware. Said Daphne makes her debut next.)

Match 3

Daphne vs. Rockin' Robin

(Robin was already in the ring.

Sounds of hysterical laughter joined by crazy sounding organ music played over the p.a. system.

Out came Daphne to modest boos. Her hair was messy and she had black and white make-up smeared on her face and she was wearing a black and white body tight with red smears on it. She was carrying a headless doll with her. She placed the doll in the corner under the buckles.

Daphne then attacked Robin. Ref called for the bell. Total domination by Daphne. She beat up Robin in the ring and out on the floor. Daphne put the brutalized Robin out of her misery by finishing her off with the Daff Knees (aka, double knee ce breaker). Daphne slithered on top of Robin and just laid on her as the ref counted the 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell. Daphne got to her feet and was laughing and pointing down at the defeated Robin. Ref raised Daphne's hand in victory. Daphne then went over and grabbed her headless doll from the corner and came back over to the downed Robin, knelt down, talked to the doll and then hit Robin in the face with the headless doll.

WINNER: Daphne - Pinfall - Daff Knees - 5:12)

(Announcers discussed Daphne's successful debut and how she seemed spooky. Said Father Dutch has something to say to Koko B. Ware next.)

(Video message from Father Dutch from last week's 'Slam!' aired.

VIDEO:

Video faded in and Father Dutch was standing in front of Grog and The Sacred Anvil. The were standing in front of a black curtain and large cross.

Grog and Anvil had their heads bowed and Gregorian chants played in the background.

FD: "Hello, my dear friends. This is Father Dutch. I come to you in a spirit of humility. As you know, in recent weeks we have had run-ins with one Koko B. Ware. We've had some time to pontificate on this matter and have come to the conclusion that we have behaved in an unfair manner towards Koko. So next week, we will humble ourselves and look to meet with Koko and show him how sorry we are for things we've said about him and how we've treated him. Koko, we want to show our commitment to the spirit of brotherhood. We have something very special planned for you. Hope to see you there, Koko. God bless and amen."

Father Dutch bowed his head as the video faded to black.)

(In-ring: Father Dutch calls out Koko B. ware.

Camera shot of a table covered with a white cloth in the ring.

Gregorian chants played and Father Dutch, Grog and The Sacred Anvil came to the ring to pretty strong boos. FD was in his priest's attire, Anvil was in his Mormon missionary-style attire, the masked Grog was in his ring attire. FD had a mic.

FD: "Greetings, my dear friends. As you know, we have had some problems recently with Koko B. Ware. We have not behaved in the holy way we should towards Koko and, upon reflection, we believe that we owe Koko an apology. The way those of us show of our faith show contrition is by the deed. We do something good for somebody to show that we are sorry for past actions and offer the deed up as an atonement. Koko B. Ware, would you please come to the ring."

'The Bird' by Morris Day and the Time played over the p.a. system. It took several seconds but Koko, in street clothes, made his way out on the entrance stage with mic in hand. Koko came to the ring as fans cheered. Koko did not slap hands with fans along the way.

Koko got up on the ring apron and sized the situation up. Anvil moved behind the table as Grog stood off to the side. FD was in front of the table.

FD: "Come in, Koko. There's nothing to be afraid of."

Koko cautiously climbed in the ring and looked at the trio.

FD: "Koko, I sincerely want to apologize for all three of us for our attitude and actions towards you in the past. After much thought and prayer, we realized we were the ones in the wrong. To show you how sorry we are, we want to offer you something as our way of showing remorse. Hopefully this will lead to a mending of fences between us.

"Koko, are you a believer?"

Koko: "Yes. Yes, I am."

FD: "That's wonderful news, brother. Because our gift is that of Holy Communion. Do you take communion?"

Koko: "I do. I was taught from childhood to respect Holy Communion. My family takes communion very seriously."

FD: "That's great to hear, my friend. It's nice to see a man in this day and age who truly respects Holy Communion. I think we will be a lot closer after this."

Koko: "I don't know about that. But..."

FD: "Koko, let us commune together, shall we? Sacred Anvil, would you do the honors, please."

Sacred Anvil pulled the cloth off the table and it revealed two platters of fried chicken and a six-pack of grape soda. Crowd seemed shocked and they were buzzing.

A look of 'I knew it' came over Koko's face. FD and Grog were laughing.

Anvil picked up the mic that was on the table.

Anvil: "Koko, would you like the original recipe communion wafer or the extra crispy wafer?"

Anvil looked at Koko with a straight face and FD and Grog were laughing harder.

Koko: "You dirty..."

Koko dropped the mic and grabbed Anvil from across the table and started pounding away on Anvil. FD and Grog moved in and started beating on Koko. Anvil cleared a space on the table and then came around the table and joined in the beatdown of Koko. The unholy trio then picked up Koko and performed a three-man powerbomb on Koko that sent Koko crashing through the table.

FD picked up his mic and stood over Koko as Anvil picked up the six-pack of grape soda and opened the cans.

FD: "Koko! Why would you think an unrepentant sinner like you is deserving of partaking of Holy Communion?! You only deserve more punishment at our hands and that's what you got! A-men!"

Anvil then handed FD the grape soda and FD poured the contents on Koko as the crowd booed. FD tossed the empty cans down on Koko, blessed Grog and Anvil in the ring and then the trio left the ring and made their way back up the aisle to boos.)

(Announcers discussed the assault on Koko by Father Dutch and his congregants. Hyped still to come: Crockett Cup winners Ted DiBiase and Rick Rude will announce the UWL championships they will challenge for and when; Greg Valentine vs. The Missing Link; a video appearance by Dusty Rhodes. Said DDP vs. David Schultz (The Firm) was coming up next!)

(Backstage: Quick cut to the backstage area shows 'Bad Boy' Brunzell walking backstage to the exit. He's in his street clothes and derby hat and has his travel bag slung over his shoulder. Just as he's about to open the door to leave, a UWL crew member comes up to him.

Crew Member: "Mr. Brunzell! Mr. Brunzell!"

BBB (in a depressed sounding voice): "What?"

Crew Member: "I was told to give this message to you."

Crew member handed Brunzell a piece of paper. Brunzell looked at it.

BBB: "What's this?"

Crew Member: "Matt the producer got a call in the production truck. He said the guy who called gave him this number to give to you. Matt said the guy told him that he knows he could bring out the true bad boy in you."

BBB: "OK."

Crew member walked out of the picture as Brunzell looked back down at the message and then stuffed the piece of paper in the breast pocket of his shirt and walked out the door into the night.)

Match 4

DDP vs. David Schultz (The Firm) (w/ DiBiase)

(Music-only version of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' played over the p.a. system and out came DDP to a solid response. DDP got to the bottom of the ramp and made the Diamond sign and then did the 'Bang!' gesture as pyro went off on the stage. DDP got into the ring and repeated the gesture.

'Money' by Pink Floyd played over the p.a. system and Schultz and DiBiase made their way to the ring to a mixed crowd reaction. Schultz was in his ring gear and DiBiase was in a suit.

DDP took the fight to Schultz early. There was a spot where DDP and Schultz fought on the floor and DiBiase looked to sneak up on DDP from behind but just as soon as DiBiase touched DDP, DDP stunned DiBiase by driving the back of his leg to DiBiase's groin which really popped the crowd.

At the end of the evenly fought match, DDP was on the offensive. DDP hit Schultz with a jumping DDT near the ropes. DiBiase pulled out his fingerless black glove on the floor. DDP went for the cover and hooked the leg. Ref was shielded as he counted the pin and didn't see DiBiase cheapshot DDP with a head shot at the count of two. Schultz was able to kick DDP off. DDP down and holding his head. No hesitation on the part of Schultz. He grabbed DDP and nailed DDP with the Redneck Death Drop (aka, Scorpion Death Drop). Schultz covered DDP and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell. Schultz got to his feet and the ref raised his hand in victory as DiBiase applauded on the floor. Schultz left the ring and headed back up the aisle with DiBiase to a mixed crowd reaction.

WINNER: Schultz - Pinfall - Redneck Death Drop - 7:43)

(After the match: DDP recovered and made it to his feet next to the ropes. He then walked around in the ring with his hands on his hips. DDP then left the ring and dropped to the floor. He grabbed a chair from next to the timekeeper's table and angrily slammed the chair against the ring post. DDP tossed the damaged chair aside and stalked off back up the aisle. DDP paid no attention to the fans on the way to the back.)

(Announcers discussed Schultz defeating DDP thanks to help from DiBiase. Said DDP has wrestled several Firm members lately and they've all come out on top against DDP and that's got to be eating at him. Said a video message from Dusty Rhodes was coming up next!)

(Announcers intro'd a video message from Dusty Rhodes.

VIDEO:

Video opened with Dusty sitting in a chair in his home office. He had a mic.

DR: "Hello. This is the 'American Dream' Dusty Rhodes. Let me repeat that. This is the 'American Dream' Dusty Rhodes. From this day forward, I will no longer be called 'Stardust'.

"I come to you good folks a very humbled man today. Two weeks ago, I was drummed out of The Firm in rather rough fashion. I was left a bloody mess in the ring. During these two weeks, I've had a lot of time to think. And I learned the hard way that joining The Firm was the biggest mistake of my career. I let my ego and selfishness so consume me that I lost sight of who I really was. I'm Dusty Rhodes, the man of the people. I look back in disbelief that for seven months I turned my back on you great fans. I was more interested in what can Dusty Rhodes can out of this situation; not what's the right thing for Dusty Rhodes to do. Joining The Firm was wrong. I let Ted DiBiase sweet talk me into aligning myself with him and his rogue band of outlaws that he refers to as the 'elite' of our sport. Ted played me like a fiddle when it came to saying what I wanted to here. He told me that one day he's gonna take over the UWL and that he had great things in store for me. I was gonna have greater power than I ever had in a wrestling company before. Plus, he said I would make more working for him than I ever have at any other time in my career. Ted DiBiase is the ultimate salesman. He usually gets what he wants. And he got me.

"My ego was catered to at all times. Whatever I wanted, I got. That's The Firm way. Ted treats his employees very, very well. But you see, there's a payoff in all this. In the end, it's all about DiBiase. The Firm is his creation; it's his baby. This is all about elevating him into the rarified air of greatness that only a precious few ever reach in our business. What I've realized during my time of reflection is that every member of The Firm is nothing more than well taken care of cannon fodder. He cares nothing about what happens to those who work for him as long as he comes out on top in the end. Will those other guys working for DiBiase ever wake up to that fact? I don't know. Ruined lives? Ruined careers? Ted doesn't give a damn at all. Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, David Schultz, Adrian Adonis, Rick Rude and Bam Bam Bigelow are all just pawns in Ted's grand scheme of things.

"As things stand right now, I am casting my lot with the true good guys in this war, the UWL. I know what a lot of Ted's plans are and they aren't good if you're a wrestler who refuses to kiss DiBiase's ring if he does one day realize his mad dream of taking over the UWL. The Firm must be stopped at all costs. I'm proud to say that today I am a traitor! I'm a traitor to The Firm! You can call me 'Benedict Dusty'! And I have something to say to one Firm member in particular, jack! And that man is Bam Bam Bigelow! Bigelow, as I laid on that mat two weeks ago, with the blood streaming down my face from where you cracked me over the head with that chair, I was coherent enough to be able to think about one thing! And that one thing is that we're gonna collide, daddy! Two freight trains are gonna crash into each other full-force and only one of us will get up from the wreckage! I'm comin', Bam Bam! You had better be ready!")

(Announcers discussed the Rhodes video. Hyped still to come: Crockett Cup winners Ted DiBiase and Rick Rude will announce the UWL championships they will challenge for and when. Said Greg Valentine vs. The Missing Link is next!)

Match 5

Missing Link (w/ Dark Journey & Lord Humongous) vs. Greg Valentine (w/ Gary Hart)

('All Along The Watchtower' played over the p.a. system and Valentine and Hart came to the ring to boos. Hart was in a suit.

Crowd popped as 'Breaking The Law' played and Missing Link, Humongous and Journey came to the ring. Journey was carrying the tag belts. Link slammed his head against the ring post three times and then got in the ring and stomped around.

Short match with some stalling from Valentine. Link took most of the match early when there was action.

At the end of the match, Link was on the offensive. Link whipped Valentine into the ropes and bent over looking to catch Greg coming off with a backdrop but Valentine instead caught Link with a neckbreaker. Link down. Valentine stomped away on Link and then dragged Link over, dropped to the floor and pulled Link's legs out around the post. Valentine slammed Link's ankle into the post a few times. Link crawled back out of the corner and was hurting. Valentine climbed back in the ring and dropped a series of elbows on the downed Link. Valentine then grabbed Link's left leg, straightened it out and dropped a series of knees into Link's ankle. Valentine then got up and stomped on the ankle. Hart slid a steel chair into the ring. Humongous started walking towards Hart and Hart started backing up around the ring on the floor. Valentine grabbed the chair and the ref warned him not to use it. Humongous continued to stalk Hart and Hart took off up the aisle and Lord gave chase. Valentine slammed the top end of the chair into Link's ankle. Ref called for the bell. Valentine repeated the move with the chair. Ref tried to intercede and get the chair but Valentine just shoved the ref off with one arm. Ref went down. Valentine drove the chair again into Link's hurting ankle. Ref got up and tried to stop Valentine again and Valentine kicked the ref in the groinal region. Ref went down. Link tried to get up but went down and was grabbing at his ankle. Valentine then drove the top of the chair into Link's chest and Link was helpless again. Valentine then placed Link's foot in the chair. Valentine turned and looked at Journey and said something.

Crowd erupted as a man in a warm-up suit charged to the ring.

Pedicino: "It's Steve Williams! Steve Williams is back!"

Williams hit the ring and just as Greg turned around, Williams tackled Valentine to the mat and started pounding the hell out of Valentine as the fans ate it up. Williams was on top of Valentine and pounding him with head shots. UWL security hit the ring and was able to wrest Williams off of Valentine and hold Williams at bay as Valentine quickly bailed from the ring and dropped to his feet on the floor. Valentine was standing at ringside holding his head as a hot Williams wanted to get back at him but security kept things under control. Valentine started moving around towards the entrance aisle as Williams watched his every move. Valentine backed up the aisle and was looking at Williams, all the while still holding his throbbing head.

WINNER: Link - DQ - Valentine used a chair - 4:31)

(Announcers discussed the suprising return of Steve Williams and his attack on Valentine. Then sent it backstage.)

(Backstage: Lerry Nelson i'viewed DDP in the locker room.

LN: "Dallas, we saw your frustration pour out tonight after losing a tough match to David Schultz of The Firm."

DDP: "Frustration doesn't even begin to describe what I'm feeling right now, Larry. I have given it my all in every match I've had with members of The Firm recently, but the only thing I have to show for it is a series of defeats. I'm not doing a good job of representing the UWL right now and it's deflating to say the least. But I'm not giving up. Too much is at stake here."

LN: "You looked like you were in good shape to score a win over Schultz tonight, but thanks to Firm Director Ted DiBiase, that didn't happen."

DDP: "Ted DiBiase can be a real problem out there at ringside. And since he likes to be such a problem at ringside, I wonder how much of a problem he would pose for me in the ring. I want Ted DiBiase in a match as soon as possible!"

DDP stormed out of the picture as Nelson sent it back to ringside.)

(Announcers discussed the DDP interview.)

(Announcers then hyped for next week on 'Slam!':

- JUST SIGNED! UWL TV Title Match: Rip Oliver (TVC) vs. Adrian Adonis (The Firm)

- Bam Bam Bigelow makes his 'Slam!' wrestling debut

- An interview with Steve Williams

- UWL Women's World Champion Madusa wrestles

- Buzz Tyler sees action

- Buddy Rose and Doug Somers make their 'Slam!' wrestling debut

- The first 'Heatwave' PPV Update

AND MORE!

'Slam!' - Tuesdays - FX - 9:30pm E/P)

(Announcers said Crockett Cup winners Ted DiBiase and Rick Rude of The Firm will announce what UWL championships they will challenge for and when next!)

(Video aired from last week of DiBiase and Rude defeating UWL World Tag Team Champs Lord Humongous & Missing Link in the final of the Crockett Cup tournament and DiBiase and Rude being presented the Cup.)

(In-ring: DiBiase and Rude announcement.

'Born in the USA' played and Pres. Watts came to the ring in a suit. He had a mic. Modest crowd response.

'Money' then played over the p.a. system and out came all the members of The Firm. Bigelow was carrying the Crockett Cup trophy and holding it aloft. Usual mixed crowd reax. Ted and Rude had mics.

The group got in the ring and Bigelow walked around with the trophy held high.

BW: "Before this goes any further, I want to announce that next week, right here on 'Slam!', Ted DiBiase, you will be wrestling Dallas Page!"

Decent amount of cheers. DiBiase shook his head in the affirmative at the announcement.

BW: "Ted and Rick, because you won the Crockett Cup Tournament last week, you have won the right to challenge for whichever UWL titles you want. You've had a week to decide the title or titles you want to go after. Rick, what UWL championship do you want to challenge for and when?"

RR: "The UWL championship that I have chosen to challenge for is...the President's Championship! And, I want the match to take place at the 'Heatwave' pay-per-view on August 18th!"

BW: "Then it is set. Rick Rude will challenge for the President's Championship at 'Heatwave'. Ted DiBiase, even though I think we all know the answer that is forthcoming, what UWL championship do you wish to challenge for and when?"

TD: "Before I answer that question, Bill, I have something I want to show everyone. Production! Post that image!"

Image appeared on the JumboTron from last week of a grim-faced UWL owner KD Smith after DiBiase and Rude were presented the Crockett Cup.

TD: "You see the look on UWL owner KD Smith's face? That is a look of foreboding. That look says that KD Smith knows that The Firm is getting ever-closer to achieving its goals. That look is one that says that KD Smith knows, he knows, that his time as owner of this company is running out. KD, I know you're watching. When the time does come, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. The choice will be totally up to you.

"Now, I would really be grateful if UWL World Champion Roddy Piper could grace us with his presence! Come on out, Piper! Show you face!"

After a brief pause, bagpipe music filled the arena. Piper, in street clothes, came to the ring with the belt slung over his shoulder. He did not slap hands with fans on the way to the ring. Piper got in the ring and did not play to the crowd, but rather walked right up to DiBiase. Piper had no mic.

TD: "Roddy, over the last few months, several members of The Firm have come after that World Title that sits on your shoulder! To your credit, none of them has been able to bring the title into the possession of The Firm! You've thwarted every challenge from us so far! But, you now face your biggest challenge of all!

"Roddy Piper! The championship I'm challenging for is the UWL World Title! And the match will take place at 'Heatwave'! Your reign ends on August 18th in the Arizona desert!"

The two engaged in a staredown as the program went off the air.)

UWL 'SLAM!' WRESTLING - EP. 131 - RALEIGH, NC - DORTON ARENA - 7-23-13 (Live)

(Video aired from last week to open the show of Firm Director Ted DiBiase calling out UWL World Champ Roddy Piper and telling Piper he was going to challenge for the World Title at the 'Heatwave' PPV on Aug. 18th.)

(Show Intro)

(Crowd Shots/Pyro)

(In-ring: UWL World Champion Roddy Piper promo.

Bagpipe music filled the arena and the fans popped as Roddy Piper, in street clothes and with the title slung over his shoulder made his way to the ring. Piper slapped hands with some fans along the way. Once in the ring, Piper briefly played to the cheering crowd.

Piper went over by the ropes and asked ring announcer Lee Marshall for the r.a. mic. Piper took the mic and walked around in the ring for a moment.

RP: "As a good friend of mine says: Welllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll! I now know who I will be facing in the UWL World Title match at 'Heatwave' next month! And to be quite blunt with you, I knew as soon as Ted DiBiase and Rick Rude won the Crockett Cup tournament two weeks ago that DiBiase was the man I'd be defending the title against next! Ted DiBiase has sent several of his men to challenge me for the title! And so far, so good! I have defeated every member of The Firm that I have faced with the gold on the line, man! And now, the organization's big cheese himself wants his crack at winning the World Title! Ted DiBiase is obsessed with this belt! For him, it's like a real life 'Lord of the Rings' quest! To DiBiase, the UWL World Title is like the one belt that will rule them all and in the darkness bind them! And if DiBiase or any member of The Firm gets their hands on this belt, it will indeed be dark times ahead for the UWL!

"We on the UWL side of the aisle had better start bracing for the biggest onslaught The Firm has launched to date in the weeks and months ahead! They are becoming more aggressive! You can sense that there's a growing sense of anxiety in their camp! Things haven't moved fast enough for them! Now, you can expect The Firm to cut the brake lines and step on the gas full force! They are growing impatient! They want the World Title! They want all the male championships in the company! And they want to one day take over and rule the UWL! This is not just about those of us who work for the UWL, either! It's much bigger than that! This is about the entire wrestling business! This is about you fans! If The Firm ever succeeds in fulfilling their mad dream, it could kill this industry! Everything will be their way or, if you refuse to go along with their plans, they will destroy you! You think a lot of wrestling careers don't hang in the balance in this war?! Guess again!"

Mixed crowd reaction as Ted DiBiase walked out on the entrance stage with mic in hand. He was in his ring attire and had a mic.

TD: "Roddy, I've been standing in the back listening to you ramble on. I've been listening to you smear me. I've been listening to you make outrageous claims. When I become the UWL World Champion at 'Heatwave', it will not be a time of darkness in the UWL. Rather, it will be a time of greatness! Because a great man will hold the title! A new era will be born at 'Heatwave'! It will be an era the wrestling world has never before seen! And it will all be thanks to the hard work of The Firm!

"Sure, other members of The Firm have challenged you for the World Title! And they didn't get the job done! They all came close but just missed grabbing that brass ring and making it the property of The Firm! Now, it all comes to a screeching halt for you, Piper! August 18th is the day that pro wrestling changes forever! And you're looking at the captain of that ship of change!"

RP: "You know what, Ted, and I'm sure you'll deny this, what I just heard come out of your mouth were the words of a man who knows that The Firm is running out of World Title chances. The window of opportunity is closing for you and your army of darkness. You talk about a ship of change. Ted, there's a very good chance that ship of change may never sail and you know it. You won't ever admit it. But deep down, you know it. If you fail at 'Heatwave', that may be it for The Firm on the World Title front in the UWL. Then what, Ted? Do you try and take over the company in some sort of coup and seize the belt and just declare yourself the de facto World Champion? The grim reality for your side is that so much hangs in the balance for you right now. You keep telling your men that you're closing in on this hackneyed promised land for The Firm. But reality says you're still a million miles away from it. You are the..."

TD: "Enough! Piper, this is it! You've had a great run as the World Champion! But, it's over in 26 days! There is no panic in The Firm right now! We're as confident today as we were on day one when I created the organization! Do you hear me?! No panic! No fear! We knew this was going to be a war and we've had some setbacks! But I knew that would happen! It's war, dammit! The Firm is on the march! The Firm is gradually wearing down the UWL side! And the UWL World Title, no matter what it takes, will be ours at 'Heatwave'!"

DiBiase and Piper glared at each other from a long distance as the segment ended.)

(Announcers Steve Stack and Joe Pedicino discussed the DiBiase-Piper confrontation. They then welcomed viewers and ran down the program: An interview with Steve Williams; DDP vs. Firm Director Ted DiBiase; TV Title: Rip Oliver (TVC) vs. Adrian Adonis (The Firm); Bam Bam Bigelow makes his 'Slam!' in-ring debut; Buzz Tyler wrestles; Buddy Rose & Doug Somers make their 'Slam!' in-ring debut; Koko B. Ware vs. Grog; an interview with Harley Race; the first 'Heatwave' PPV Update; and more!)

Match 1 (Non-Title)

Madusa (WC) vs. Debbie Combs

(Madusa came to the ring to the song 'American Woman' and got a strong ovation. She had the title on around her waist. Madusa slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring. Once in the ring, Madusa stood on the middle buckle and held the title high in the air.

Combs got in minimal offense as Madusa dominated. During the match, Awesome Kong and her manager Slick came out on the entrance stage and watched the bout.

Madusa finished off Combs with a German suplex into a bridgeout for the 1...2...3!

WINNER: Madusa - Pinfall - German Suplex into a Bridgeout - 3:07)

(After the match: Marshall interviewed Madusa.

Kong and Slick were still looking on from the entrance stage. Madusa kept looking over at the pair.

LM: "Madusa, you certainly looked..."

Madusa grabbed the mic from Marshall.

Madusa: "Kong, is there something you want?!"

Kong glared at Madusa and then walked to the ring as Slick tried to talk Kong out of going to the ring. Kong reached under the ring apron and brandished a 2x4. Slick begging Kong to stay out of the ring but she didn't listen. Kong climbed in the ring as Madusa looked on. Slick on the apron trying to cajole Kong out of the ring.

Kong raised the 2x4 over her head with one hand while glaring at Madusa. Kong then took the board and broke it by slamming it across her knee. She then tossed part of the broken board in Madusa's direction. The board landed at Madusa's feet. Kong gestured for Madusa to pick up the board. Madusa hesitated. Kong then acted like she was gonna move on Madusa with her broken piece of the board. Madusa tossed the mic and quickly picked up the broken piece of board off the mat and was prepared to fight Kong. Slick got in Kong's face and was pleading with her not to take things any further. The two were glaring at one another. Lee Marshall picked up the mic. Kong gestured for Slick to get the mic. Slick went over and, in a desperate way, asked for the mic. The two women were still staring each other down with their weapons at the ready. Slick handed the mic to Kong.

Kong (deep, meancing voice): "Madusa. Just like I broke this board in half, when we meet for the Women's World Title, I'm gonna break you in half."

Kong tossed the mic and continued glaring at Madusa. Slick talked with Kong some more and was able to finally get Kong to leave the ring. Madusa still in the ring holding her half of the board. Kong and Slick headed back up the aisle to mainly boos and Kong turned and pointed in Madusa's direction with the board in hand before Slick was able to finally lead Kong to the back.)

Match 2

Buddy Rose & Doug Somers vs. Pat Tanaka & JT Southern

(Rose and Somers came to the ring to the song 'I'm Too Sexy'. They were in their ring attire rather than tuxedos like they wore the last two weeks. They received a fair amount of boos.

Marshall had introduced Rose as weighing 271 pounds. When the pair got in the ring, Rose took the mic from Marshall.

Rose: "I do not weigh 271 pounds. That must be a typo, Marshall. I weigh a slim, trim 217 pounds, as you will see when I take off my robe."

Rose took off his robe and showed off his doughy body that was much closer to 271 rather than 217. He struck a biceps pose which was less than impressive for the crowd.

Tanaka and Southern gave Rose and Somers a fight early in the match. But Rose and Somers prevailed when Somers pinned Southern after the Hart Attack clothesline (aka, bear hug/lariat combination).

WINNER: Rose & Somers - Pinfall - Somers pinned Southern after the Hart Attack clothesline - 4:11)

(After the match: As Rose and Somers were having their hands raised in victory, decent crowd pop as the Nasty Boys, in tuxedos of their own, came out on the entrance stage with mics in hand.

Knobs: "Hey! 'Playboy' Buddy Rose and 'Pretty Boy' Doug Somers! Look at us! We can wear monkey suits, too! And after we leave here tonight, we're going to a prim and proper party where they drink beer from plastic cups with their pinkys sticking out!

"You boys really caught us off-guard a couple of weeks ago at the Crockett Cup! We had just wrestled in the tournament and were pretty beaten down! You guys decided to take advantage of us in our defenseless state and leave us laid out! And in Nasty-ville, that can mean only one thing! Tell 'em, Jer!"

Sags: "Now that we're recovered! Now that the beer goggles are off! We are pretty pissed off! In Nasty-ville, we have a code of decency we live by! That code is live and let live! But if somebody wrongs you, then you've got to Nasty-size them! We came out here, dressed in tuxedos, to properly challenge your asses to a match!"

Many in the crowd cheered. Rose took the mic from Marshall.

Rose: "We expected and accept your challenge. And you guys had better fear the Bud-ster."

Rose then started striking some bodybuilder poses which drew mainly laughs and catcalls from the crowd.

Pres. Watts came out on the entrance stage with mic in hand.

BW: "After what we witnessed at the Crockett Cup, Knobs and Sags, I can't think of anything better than a match between you two teams. And it will take place next Tuesday right here on 'Slam!'! Get ready to hook 'em up!"

Somers: "Nasty Boys! You guys disrespect the tuxedo rental industry by wearing those!"

Knobs: "Who says we rented 'em! We bought 'em off a friend of ours named Dowtown Pete! He has the finest selection of tuxes around in the back of his fish delivery truck!"

Somers: "Then next week the 'Playboy' and the 'Pretty Boy' are gonna teach you to respect the tuxedo while we're beating your brains out!"

(In-ring: Lee Marshall interviewed Harley Race.

Race came to the ring to the music-only version of 'Turn The Page' by Bob Seger. He got a good ovation coming to the ring. Race was in street clothes. Once again, he did not slap hands with fans on the way to the ring.

LM: "Harley, last week we saw you come out and tell Wahoo that you were gonna hurt him and then you told JJ that you were gonna do the same to him after you got done with Wahoo. Can you elaborate on that?"

HR: "There's not much to elaborate on, Lee. This feud won't end until one side has battered the other into submission. I intend to emerge the winner in all of this. As I said last week, I'm gonna hurt Wahoo first; and then I'm saving the best for last when I finally get my hands on JJ Dillon."

LM: "JJ has cheap-shotted you a few times in recent months and you really haven't been able to respond accordingly because of the circumstances in which those attacks by JJ occured. Do you want to face JJ in a match or..."

HR: "I don't care if I face JJ in a match or just beat the living hell out of him in front of God and everybody. JJ Dillon is total scum. I can't believe that it took me so long to realize that. But I know JJ is watching this right now. JJ, you're gonna have to face the music one day. And you will not like the tune I'm gonna play on you with these fists of mine. I'm gonna bust you up real bad."

'California Dreamin' played over the p.a. system and out came 'Superstar' Graham and the Grand Wizard on the entrance stage. They were booed. Graham was in his tie-dyed tank top, jeans and yellow cowboy boots and Wizard was in his tie-dyed tux, gold turban, sunglasses and white shoes and carrying his gold-tipped black cane. Graham had a mic.

BG: "Harley! Hey, man! Listen up, daddy! The man of the hour! The tower of power! The man with THE plan is here! I hear you going on about your situation with Wahoo McDaniel and JJ Dillon! But what about you and me, jack?! What about us?! We've had two matches against each other recently, and we've split them! We're one and one! So, the grand Wizard and the 'Superstar' thought about it and came to the conclusion that we need to have a rubber match! Harley Race vs. 'Superstar' Graham, best 2-out-of-3! What about it, Harley?! Put Wahoo and JJ on the back burner for a little while! We've got some unfinished business of our own!"

HR: "'Superstar', if you want to make it 2-out-of-3 between us, then I'm game."

BG: "That's cool, Harley! I'm really diggin' the vibe and all! But let's make things a little more interesting! Let's make it a Last Man Standing match!"

HR: "That sounds groovy to me, 'Superstar'. Just give me the contract and I'll sign it by the light of my lava lamp."

BG: "Farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr out!")

(Announers discussed Graham coming out and challenging Race to a rubber match between them and Race accepting. Said Buzz Tyler sees action next.)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson interviewed Firm Director Ted DiBiase in The Firm's dressing room.

LN: "Ted, you're facing Roddy Piper for the UWL World Title at 'Heatwave'. But tonight, you're facing Dallas Page. Are you looking past this match?"

TD: "A good professional such as myself never looks past a match. After I face Dallas Page tonight, then I will devote my full concentration on preparing for World Champion Roddy Piper.

"Dallas Page, you have now faced several members of The Firm recently and you've lost every one of those matches. But, I have to give Page credit. He never quits. And he's given everyone of my guys a battle. Page is a guy with a lot of fight and courage."

LN: "I have to admit that I'm suprised to hear that coming from you about a UWL wrestler considering The Firm is at war with the UWL."

TD: "Page has shown me he's a stand-up guy. He's even gotten in a few good shots on me in those matches. It's a grudging admiration for the guy; but an admiration nonetheless. But that does not change the fact that he's walking right into another defeat tonight at my hands. I know it will be a dogfight. But he's gonna be frustrated one more time in his dealings with a member of The Firm.")

(Video aired chronicling the Ole Anderson-Buzz Tyler situation.)

Match 3

Buzz Tyler vs. Van Hammer

(Tyler came to the ring to the song 'Flirtin' With Disaster' by Molly Hatchet. He received a decent ovation from the fans. Tyler slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring.

The match was about two minutes old and Tyler was in control when Ole Anderson, in street clothes, made his way to the ring. Ole climbed into the ring and the match just stopped. Tyler got up and looked at Ole as Hammer rolled out of the ring and disappeared from the scene.

Ole took off his shirt and tossed it out of the ring. Crowd buzzing. Ole gestured for the ref to leave the ring. Ref wasn't going to argue with Ole and cruised. Ole gestured for Tyler to take him on.

Ole and Tyler circled one another and engaged in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Ole gained the advantage by kneeing Tyler in the gut and then caught Tyler in a hammerlock and nailed Tyler with a hammerlock bodyslam. Tyler's left arm hurting. As Tyler got up, Ole locked Tyler in an arm bar and pounded on Tyler's shoulder with his right fist. Ole then did the Alberto Del Rio move and took Tyler down and went to lock Tyler in the cross armbreaker but Tyler flipped out of Ole's grasp and then quickly locked Ole in the Kimura Lock as the crowd popped. Ole in great pain and struggling to escape from Tyler's grasp. Tyler locked the hold in. Ole pounded the mat with his free hand and was in dire agony.

Lars and Gene Anderson, in street clothes, hit the ring and started stomping away on Tyler. The hold was broken. Tyler got to his knees and Gene and Lars hammered away on Tyler as Tyler made his way to this feet. Tyler then started fighting back and nailed Lars and Gene with punches and getting the better of them. Ole got to his feet and charged up behind Tyler and drove a knee into Tyler's back. Tyler went back down. More stomps from Gene and Lars and then Ole moved in and locked Tyler in the cross armbreaker. Now, Tyler was the one who was hurting. Tyler struggling to free himself from the hold as Gene and Lars cheered Ole on.

Crowd popped as Buzz Sawyer and Arn Anderson, in street clothes, charged to the ring. Ole broke the hold and got to his feet as Arn and Sawyer stepped in the squared circle. As Tyler got to his feet holding his left arm, a staredown ensued. Ole pointed directly at Arn and was saying something to him off-mic. Arn said a few words back. Now, Ole and Arn had their eyes locked on one another. Ole then gestured for his brothers to leave the ring. Ole, Lars and Gene left. but Before he left, Ole turned and said something to Arn off-mic once more before the Anderson trio headed back up the aisle to boos as Sawyer and Arn checked on Tyler.

DECISION: Match thrown out.)

Match 4 (UWL TV Title Match)

Rip Oliver (TVC) vs. Adrian Adonis (The Firm)

('Money' played over the p.a. system and Adonis came to the ring to a mixed crowd reaction. Adonis was alone.

'Bad To The Bone' played over the p.a. system and Oliver came to the ring with the title on around his waist. He was mainly booed.

Good, short match between two cagey heels. Both men showed their heel natures during the bout with the holding of tights, an eye poke, an illegal choke. Adonis had a couple of chances to try and win the belt but Oliver escaped defeat each time.

At the end of the match, Adonis was on the offensive. Adonis whipped Oliver into the ropes and caught Oliver coming off with a double flying forearm smash. Oliver crashed to the mat. Adonis quickly went for the cover. 1...2... Oliver got a shoulder up. Adonis snapped up Oliver, whipped Oliver into the ropes again and bent down and looked to catch Oliver coming off with a backdrop but Oliver instead stunned Adonis with a forearm smash to the back of the neck. Adonis shot upright, stumbled back into the ropes and came off and Oliver pulverized Adonis with his superkick finisher. Oliver covered Adonis and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Mixed crowd reaction to the outcome of the match. Ref called for the bell and got the title and handed it to Rip and raised Rip's hand in victory.

As Oliver held the title in the air in the ring, David Schultz, in street clothes, hit the ring behind Oliver and nailed the champ with a running clothesline across the back of the neck. Oliver crashed to the mat and dropped the title. Schultz pulled Oliver up and nailed Oliver with his Redneck Death Drop (aka, Scorpion Death Drop) finisher. Schultz then got down on his knees and right in Oliver's face and was saying something off-mic. Schultz then picked up the TV Title, looked at it and dropped the title down across the downed Oliver's chest. Schultz then left the ring and met the still stunned Adonis at ringside and they made their way to the back.

WINNER: Oliver - Pinfall - Superkick - 4:41)

(Announcers discussed Oliver defending the TV Title against Adonis and Schultz attacking Oliver and leaving him laying after a Redneck Death Drop.

Said Bam Bam Bigelow makes his 'Slam!' in-ring debut next!)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson interviewed Dallas Page in the locker room.

LN: "Dallas, tonight you're facing the leader of The Firm Ted DiBiase. You spoke last week of losing your recent matches to members of The Firm. I don't know if you heard Ted DiBiase's interview earlier, but he seems to have a certain amount of respect for you because of the way you've battled The Firm. What are your thoughts about that?"

DDP: "Larry, I don't care if Ted DiBiase respects me. The man wants to take over this entire company! He wants to control the careers of all UWL wrestlers! I've never been in a wrestling war like this in my life! Ted DiBiase and The Firm must never be allowed anywhere near the levers of power here! And in my recent losses to members of The Firm, I'm not the only one who lost! Whenever a UWL wrestler wrestles a member of The Firm the match is much bigger than the two wrestlers in the ring! I've let the UWL down the past few weeks! Those defeats reflect on the UWL as a whole! If I can beat DiBiase tonight, and I'm confident that I can, it would be a huge victory for the entire UWL! To say this is a huge match in this war at this point in time is an understatement! I have got to win tonight! And that's all there is to it!")

(Video aired from three weeks ago of Dusty Rhodes being drummed out of The Firm when Bigelow attacked Rhodes and left Rhodes laying in a bloody heap in the ring.)

Match 5

Bam Bam Bigelow (The Firm) vs. DJ Petersen

(Bigelow came to the ring alone to the strains of 'Money' by Pink Floyd.

Total destruction as Bigelow punished and toyed with Petersen in the brief affair. Bigelow finshed off Petersen with a slingshot splash from the middle buckle and scored the 1...2...3!

WINNER: Bigelow - Pinfall - Slingshot Splash - 2:49)

(After the match: Lee Marshall interviewed Bigelow.

LM: "Bam Bam Bigelow, I must say that was quite a dominant debut here on 'Slam!' wrestling. But the big issue on everyone's mind right now is the one between you and former Firm member Dusty Rhodes. I mean, you left Dusty lying in a bloody heap in this ring a few weeks ago. And last week, Dusty made it clear that he's coming after you."

Bam Bam: "Dusty Rhodes is comin' after the Bammer! I don't care! As I said a few weeks ago when I joined The Firm, I was hired by Mr. DiBiase to be the trash man of the organization! That means my job is to take out the rubbish of the UWL and dispose of it however it needs to be disposed of! And Dusty Rhodes is gonna be the first wrestler that I'm gonna throw into The Firm's garbage dump! The Firm didn't fail Dusty! Dusty failed The..."

Crowd popped as Rhodes, in street clothes, came through the crowd, hopped the guard rail (a sight to behold in itself) and climbed into the ring behind Bigelow while he was talking. Dusty came up behind Bigelow, spun Bigelow around and stunned the big man with a series of rights to the face and then Rhodes blasted Bigelow with a series of bionic elbows to the head as the fans went nuts. Bigelow staggered back against the ropes and Dusty charged at Bigelow and drove him over the top rope to the floor with a running clothesline. Bigelow landed on his feet on the floor and crashed back-first against the ringside barricade. Dusty followed Bigelow out and continued the assault but Bam Bam fought back and the two were now duking it out on the floor.

Rude, Hall, Nash and Schultz charged down to ringside and joined Bam Bam in attacking Dusty. The five pounded the hell out of Rhodes and drove him to the floor and were putting the boots to him when several UWL security members came charging down to ringside. Firm members fought with security and they were holding their own. This brought out a few more UWL security members with night sticks. Firm members tussled with them as well before security was able to separate The Firm from the battered Dusty. UWL security was herding The Firm boys back to the aisle entrance and a couple of them fought with Hall and Nash over control of a couple of night sticks. There was a little more pushing and shoving in the aisle before more security came out and was able to help get control of the situation and shuttle The Firm members to the back as three UWL security members checked on Rhodes at ringside, who was doubled over, hurting and had his shirt ripped, courtesy of The Firm.)

(Announcers discussed the fight between Rhodes and Bigelow/The Firm.

Ann. Joe Pedicino made a strong point:

Pedicino: "You couldn't help but notice that not one UWL wrestler came to Dusty's aid as he was being mercilessly beaten by The Firm. It's obvious that the UWL guys don't trust Dusty because of his past association with The Firm. They're obviously leery of him for good reason and the UWL wrestlers might be wondering if this isn't some elaborate hoax being perpetrated by The Firm and Dusty."

Hyped still to come: An interview with Steve Williams; DDP vs. Firm Director Ted DiBiase; the first 'Heatwave' PPV Update; and more! Said Koko B. Ware vs. Grog was coming up!)

(Video aired from last week of Father Dutch calling Koko out to apologize to him, but instead it was all a ruse and the unholy trio of Father Dutch, Grog and the Sacred Anvil laid out Koko with a three-man powerbomb through a table in the ring.)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson interviewed Koko B. Ware.

LN: "Koko, we just saw the footage from last week of what happned to you at the hands of Father Dutch and his congregants. In just a few minutes, you'll be facing Grog in that ring. What does this match mean for you tonight?"

Koko: "Larry, this match means a lot for me! For weeks, I have put up with Father Dutch and his men's anything-but-righteous ways! They have denigrated me and they have physically attacked me! I was really suspicious about stepping into that ring with them last week when Father Dutch said he wanted to make a public apology for the way he and his congregants had treated me! I came to the ring on faith alone! But, my initial hunch was right and it was all a set-up! When they mocked me and then put me through that table, that was the last straw! It's now time for me to assert MY moral authority in this matter! And the first man who's going to feel my moral authority is Grog!")

Match 6

Koko B. Ware vs. Grog (w/ Father Dutch & Sacred Anvil)

(Gregorian chants filled the arena and Father Dutch came to the ring with his congregants. They were booed. Father Dutch was in his priest's attire; Sared Anvil was in his Mormon missionary-style attire; and Grog was in his silver and black mask with crosses on it and leg-length black tights with silver crosses on the outside of each leg and heavy boots.

After a brief pause, 'The Bird' by Morris Day and the Time flowed from the p.a. system. Koko got a pretty solid ovation coming out. There was no arm-waving or dancing on this night as Koko charged to the ring. As Koko slid into the ring he was immediately attacked by Grog. Ref called for the bell to start the match.

Short, explosive match between these two. Neither Anvil nor Dutch interfered.

Grog took the match early, but Koko was able to fight his way back into the battle and make it a see-saw affair.

At the end of the match, Grog had dropped Koko with a stiff trio of snap suplexes. Koko down and hurting. FD and Anvil cheering on Grog from ringside. Grog grabbed Koko and locked Koko into position for the pumphandle slam. However, Koko was able to get his lower arm free from Grog's grasp and Koko was able to turn it into a testicular claw. Crowd popped as Grog was trying to extricate himself from the painful hold. Koko got his other arm free. Koko let go of the claw and Grog was hurting. Koko then popped Grog with a few rapid-fire headshots, whipped Grog into the ropes and caught Grog coming off with a high flying dropkick. Grog crashed to the mat. Koko snapped up Grog and locked him in the double underhook position. Koko maneuvered around so he was looking right at FD and Anvil. Koko then blasted Grog with the double underhook DDT. Koko covered Grog and was looking right at his co-horts on the floor as the ref counted. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell as the fans cheered. Ref raised Koko's hand in victory. FD and Anvil still looking on from the floor as Koko went over and requested the r.a. mic from Lee Marshall. Koko got the mic and looked right at the Sacred Anvil.

Koko: "Sacred Anvil...YOU'RE NEXT!!!"

Crowd popped as Koko tossed the mic down, looked at the pair on the floor again and then left the ring and headed back up the aisle, slapping hands with cheering fans along the way.

WINNER: Koko - Pinfall - Double Underhook DDT - 3:52)

(Announcers discussed Koko beating Grog and then declaring he as going after the Sacred Anvil next. Hyped still to come: DDP vs. Firm Director Ted DiBiase; the first 'Heatwave' PPV Update. Said an interview with Steve Williams was coming up!)

(Video aired from last week of Greg Valentine going to break The Missing Link's leg during a match and Williams suprising everyone by showing up and pounding the hell out of Valentine in the ring before security pulled Williams off of Valentine.)

(In-ring: Steve Williams promo.

Univ. of Oklahoma fight song played and Steve Williams came to the ring in an OU warm-up suit and was carrying a clipboard in his hand. Williams ran to the ring and got up on the apron and acknowledged the crowd which gave Williams a pretty strong ovation. He also had a mic. Williams got in the ring and soaked in the ovation a little before speaking.

SW: "Thank you! I'm Steve Williams, I'm back, I'm healthy and I'm ready to step back into this ring again and wrestle!"

Crowd cheered some more.

SW: "Three months ago, Greg Valentine showed us what kind of a man he really is! For all his tough talking bravado, Valentine didn't want to have a match with me then; so he attacked me and broke my ankle! The ankle is better than it was before the break! During these last three months I've never worked harder to get back in ring shape! And I can tell you that I feel better, faster and stronger! I hope Valentine enjoyed the last three months during my absence! Because as I showed last week, I'm back and ready to rumble! And Greg's gonna get a lot more than punched by me when we meet in this ring! And that brings me to this!"

Williams held up the clipboard.

SW: "President Watts has already given it his blessing! This is a contract for me to face Greg Valentine at 'Heatwave' next month!"

Williams then signed the contract.

SW: "My name is now signed on the dotted line! The match-up is now half complete! Greg Valentine! Why don't you come out here right now and seal the deal by signing your John Hancock on this contract?!"

After a brief pause, Valentine and Gary Hart came out on the entrance stage. They were booed. Hart was in a suit and Valentine was in casual street clothes. Both had mics.

GV: "Steve, I have to say that you were rather rude in your return last week. You could have at least had the decency to text or call me beforehand to let me know you were coming and I could have welcomed you back properly."

SW: "After the Pearl Harbor job you pulled on me in April I didn't think it was worth giving you advanced notice. You gonna sign this contract, Greg?"

GV: "You and me at 'Heatwave', huh? Looks like a great match-up on paper. I'm sure these fans out here would love to see it. But are you really certain that ankle of yours is properly healed? I mean, let's be honest, I really did a number on it. I don't think it could hold up to another relentless assault by me..."

SW: "The ankle feels great, Greg. I'm willing to take my chances in a match with you. Come on down, sign the contract and let's make it official for 'Heatwave'."

Hart: "How do we know that you don't have some sort of weapon on you? How do we know that if we come down there you aren't going to go all postal on us or something? You want revenge, Steve. And people who want revenge often aren't very rational. Yes, Greg Valentine did break your ankle; he broke it real good, too. But, we feel it's awful risky coming down..."

SW: "Look. I don't have any weapons of mass destruction on me. I'm not here to go postal, as you say, on you guys. I want Valentine to be good and healthy when he steps into the ring with me. And when the bell rings to start the match...that's when I'll go postal on Greg. The contract is just waiting to be signed. Greg, you're not scared are you?"

GV (angrily): "I'm not scared! I'm signing that contract! Wait right there!"

Valentine and Hart had an off-mic conversation that looked like it got quite heated. Hart was picked up on a mic saying, 'Me?'

Finally, the discussion ended. Hart didn't look all that happy.

GV: "Gary's coming to get the contract. He'll bring it back to me and I'll sign it."

Hart cautiously made his way to the ring. When he got to ringside, he turned and looked back at Greg. Greg was urging Hart on from the safety of the entrance stage. Hart deliberately made his way to the apron. Williams stood in the ring with the contract for Hart to take. Hart slowly got in the ring and looked at Williams and back at Valentine. Valentine encouraging Hart to get the contract and bring it to him. Hart moved closer to Williams and Hart seemed nervous. Williams held out the contract and after a brief pause, Hart quickly grabbed the contract out of Williams' hand and turned and quickly walked out of the ring and dropped to the floor. Hart briefly looked back to make sure Williams wasn't following him and quickly walked back up the aisle and handed the contract to Valentine. Valentine quickly signed the contract and held it up.

GV: "There! You happy now, Williams?! The match between us is now set in stone for 'Heatwave'!"

SW: "Now, you need to give the contract back to me."

GV: "What?!"

SW: "I need the contract back. Wait there, I'll come and get it."

GV: "Whoa! You don't need to do that! Gary, take the contract back to him!"

Hart looked at Greg in disbelief. Valentine shoved the contract into Hart's hands. After a brief off-mic discussion, Hart made his way back down to ringside. Hart got up on the apron and looked at Williams.

SW: "Don't throw it at me, Gary. Step into the ring and hand it to me. You and Greg talk a tough game. How would it look if you just threw the contract back in the ring and ran off like a sissy?"

Hart looked back at Valentine.

GV: "Gary, show Williams the man you really are! Walk right up to him and shove that contract in his face! Show him that we aren't afraid of anyone!"

Hart cautiously climbed into the ring. He stood and looked at Williams for a few seconds and then cautiously moved towards him. Hart handed Williams the contract.

SW: "You're all man, Hart."

Williams extended his hand to shake Hart's. Hart looked nervously at Williams and then briefly back at Valentine standing on the stage. Hart extended his hand and Williams shook it and released his grip. Hart looked like he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to leave the ring when Williams suddenly dropped the contract and his mic, spun Hart around, grabbed Hart and nailed Hart with the Oklahoma Stampede. Hart laid out in the ring as fans popped. Valentine now standing in the aisle but not coming any closer as Williams stood over Hart doing the football practice running-in-place drill with bent knees. Fans eating it up. Valentine furious in the aisle but getting nowhere near the ring as Williams looked dead ahead at him as the segment ended.)

Match 7

DDP vs. Ted DiBiase (The Firm)

(Music-only version of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' played and out came DDP to a strong response. He got to the end of the ramp and 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. He didn't repeat the 'Bang!' gesture once in the ring.

'Money' played and out came DiBiase. He was alone and received a mixed crowd reax.

Ref called for the bell.

DiBiase went to punch DDP and DDP blocked the punch, nailed DiBiase with a series of punches, grabbed DiBiase's right wrist and dropped DiBiase with a short-arm clothesline. DiBiase went down. DiBiase got up and DDP grabbed DiBiase and whipped DiBiase into the buckles and DDP charged in and nailed DiBiase with a running high knee to the chest. DiBiase walked out of the corner holding the top rope and fell to his knees in the ring. DDP snapped DiBiase up, whipped DiBiase into the ropes and caught DiBiase coming off with a lariat clothesline. DDP for the cover. 1... Ted kicked out. Ted got up next to the ropes and DDP moved in and Ted stunned DDP with a kick to the gut. Ted then popped DDP with some punches and then drove DDP back-first into the buckles and nailed DDP with a series rapid-fire shoulder blocks to the mid-section. Ted pulled DDP out of the corner and suplexed DDP. Ted for the cover. 1...2... DDP kicked out. Both men to their feet. Ted charged at DDP with a clothesline attempt and DDP ducked and came back and grabbed Ted in position for the Diamond Cutter but Ted pushed DDP off and Ted went to lock DDP in for the Billion Dollar Blaster (aka, Skull Crushing Finale) but DDP escaped Ted's grasp and maneuvered behind Ted and nailed Ted with a Russian legsweep. Ted down. As Ted got up, DDP moved in and nailed Ted with a shoulder jawbreaker. Ted down again. Ted rolled out on the apron and dropped to the floor. DDP stayed in the ring. Ted slowly made it to his feet on the floor. DDP took off in the ring and nailed Ted with a plancha on the floor. Both men down. DDP got to his feet just as Ted was getting up. DDP moved in and grabbed Ted in a front facelock and Ted was able to ram DDP back-first into the ringside barricade. Ted repeated the move and was freed from DDP's grasp. DDP hurting against the barricade. Ted nailed DDP with some head and gut punches and then whipped DDP into the ring steps. DDP crashed into the steps and was down in a heap. Ted climbed into the ring to break the ref's 20-count. Ted had a few words for the ref as DDP slowly made it to his feet at ringside.

Ted climbed out on the apron as DDP got to his feet. Ted jumped off the apron and nailed DDP with a double sledge to the head. DDP stumbled back and crashed against the ringside barricade. Ted moved in with some punches and then went to whip DDP into the opposite barricades but DDP reversed and sent Ted crashing into them. Ted walked away from the barricade and DDP dropped Ted with a running clothesline. DDP rolled in and out of the ring to break the ref's 20-count. Ted got to his feet on the floor as DDP got on the apron. DDP nailed Ted with a flying lariat from the apron to the floor. Ted and DDP both down as DDP felt the impact of the move as well. Ref counting. Both men started getting to their feet. DDP moved in and caught Ted with some punches and threw Ted back into the ring and DDP followed suit. As Ted got up, he was greeted with more DDP punches that stunned him and DDP went to nail Ted with a discus clothesline but Ted ducked the move and countered with an atomic drop on DDP. DDP down in the ring as Ted fell back against the ropes. Ted grabbed DDP as DDP was getting to his feet, whipped DDP into the ropes and caught DDP coming off with a legdive takedown and locked DDP in the STF. DDP fighting not to submit. DDP inched closer and closer to the ropes and raised his hand like he was close to tapping out but never did. DDP finally was able to scoot close enough to barely get a hand on the bottom rope and force a break in the hold. Ted got up, and drove a rapid-fire trio of elbow smashes into DDP's back. Ted then pulled up DDP by the hair and rammed DDP's head into the top buckle a few times. Ted spun DDP around and drove a series of knees into DDP's mid-section. Ted pulled DDP out of the corner and nailed DDP with a backbreaker. Ted then mounted the middle buckle facing the crowd and came off with his backwards diving elbow drop but DDP rolled out of the way and Ted crashed to the mat. Both men down.

Ted made it to his feet first and reached down to pick up DDP but DDP caught Ted in a small package. 1...2...2-1/2... Ted kicked out. Crowd groaned. Both men to their feet. Ted and DDP engaged in a punch exchange that DDP got the better of and nailed Ted with a discus clothesline that connected. Ted down. Ted got up and walked right into a boot to the gut from DDP. DDP then popped Ted with a gutwrench gutbuster. Ted down. DDP again for the cover. 1...2...2-3/4... Ted barely kicked out again. Crowd on the edges of their seats. DDP grabbed Ted and started to pull him up when Ted caught DDP with an eye poke that stunned DDP. Ted moved in with some head and body punches, whipped DDP into the ropes and caught DDP coming off with an elbow to the chest. DDP went down. Ted then delivered a jumping stomp to DDP's head and Ted then maneuvered DDP into position for a turnbuckle move. Ted climbed out on the apron and was facing the crowd. Ted started to reach into his tights when the ref came over. Ted put his hands up like he was doing nothing and showing the ref he had nothing on his hands. Ref had a few more words with Ted and then turned and checked on DDP. As the ref did that, Ted brandished the fingerless black glove and and quickly put it on and mounted the top buckle as DDP started to stir. Ted looked out briefly at the crowd as DDP started to get up. Ted then turned and went for his glove-laden fistdrop from the top buckle but DDP stunned Ted when he caught him with the Diamond Cutter out of mid-air. Crowd popped like zits on teenager's back. Ted went down and rolled over. DDP for the cover and hooked the leg. 1...2...2-7/8... Ted got his hand on the bottom rope. Crowd and DDP in disbelief. Dallas snapped up the stunned Ted, whipped Ted into the buckles and charged in on Ted but Ted caught DDP with a boot to the face. The stunned DDP staggered backwards and spun around. Ted found the strength to come up behind DDP and nail DDP with the Billion Dollar Blaster. Ted covered DDP and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell as The Firm fans cheered. Ted rolled off of DDP and as the ref checked on DDP, Ted got up and slyly put the glove into his knee pad. Ref came over and started having words with DiBiase and gestured that he saw the glove on DiBiase's hand. DiBiase pleaded his innocence. Ref made DiBiase raise his hands in the air and patted DiBiase down and found no sign of the glove. Ref raised DiBiase's hand in victory.

WINNER: Ted - Pinfall - Billion Dollar Blaster - 15:27)

(After the match: A battle-weary Ted stayed in the ring. DDP slowly recovered and was now sitting up next to the ropes. A tired Ted walked over to where DDP was. In a shocker, Ted extended his hand to DDP. DDP looked up at Ted for a moment and then turned his head away as he used the ropes to make it to his feet. Ted was still standing in the ring. DDP looked at Ted again and then left the ring and dropped to the floor. Ted looked out at DDP and then left the ring and headed to the back.

DDP was now walking on the floor with hands on hips. He was frustrated. DDP then angrily grabbed one of the monitors off the announcer's table and smashed it to the floor. He then grabbed the other monitor off the table and smashed it on the floor as well and then kicked an empty chair.

Lee Marshall came over to try and interview DDP.

LM: "Dallas Page, we know the frustration you must..."

DDP: "You know the frustration I'm going through? You do, huh?"

LM: "Hold on there, Dallas..."

DDP: "I'll show you the frustration I'm feeling right now Lee Marshall."

DDP grabbed Marshall and threw him hard into the ringside barricade. Marshall crumpled to the floor. Crowd seemed stunned as DDP looked briefly at the downed Marshall and then stalked off as the program faded to black.)

Match 1

Nasty Boys vs. Buddy Rose & Doug Somers

('I'm Too Sexy' played over the p.a. system and Rose and Somers came out to fairly strong boos. As they were walking down the aisle the crowd popped as the Nasty Boys didn't wait to be intro'd and came flying up behind Rose and Somers and spun them around and started hammering them with punches before the match even started. Crowd into it as the four brawled in the aisle and at ringside. Ref was eventually able to get the warring parties separated and an actual match started.

But it didn't last long...

Barely into the match, legal men Sags and Somers were in the match and Sags nailed Somers with a front powerslam and went for the cover. 1...2... Rose hit the ring and stomped on Sags' head to break up the pin try. Knobs hit the ring and started brawling with Rose. Ref trying to get the two out of the ring. Somers made it to his feet before Sags and went over and jumped on Knobs and he and Rose were double teaming Knobs. Sags was up a few seconds later and joined in the melee'. Ref called for the bell.

VIDEO (edited):

In-ring: Steve Williams promo.

Univ. of Oklahoma fight song played and Steve Williams came to the ring in an OU warm-up suit and was carrying a clipboard in his hand. Williams ran to the ring and got up on the apron and acknowledged the crowd which gave Williams a pretty strong ovation. He also had a mic.

SW: "Thank you! I'm Steve Williams, I'm back, I'm healthy and I'm ready to step back into this ring again and wrestle!"

Crowd cheered some more.

SW: "Three months ago, Greg Valentine showed us what kind of a man he really is! For all his tough talking bravado, Valentine didn't want to have a match with me then; so he attacked me and broke my ankle! The ankle is better than it was before the break! During these last three months I've never worked harder to get back in ring shape! And I can tell you that I feel better, faster and stronger!"

Williams held up the clipboard.

SW: "President Watts has already given it his blessing! This is a contract for me to face Greg Valentine at 'Heatwave' next month!"

Williams then signed the contract.

SW: "My name is now signed on the dotted line! The match-up is now half complete! Greg Valentine! Why don't you come out here right now and seal the deal by signing your John Hancock on this contract?!"

After a brief pause, Valentine and Gary Hart came out on the entrance stage. They were booed. Hart was in a suit and Valentine was in casual street clothes. Both had mics.

GV: "You and me at 'Heatwave', huh? Looks like a great match-up on paper. I'm sure these fans out here would love to see it. But are you really certain that ankle of yours is properly healed? I mean, let's be honest, I really did a number on it. I don't think it could hold up to another relentless assault by me..."

SW: "The ankle feels great, Greg. I'm willing to take my chances in a match with you. Come on down, sign the contract and let's make it official for 'Heatwave'."

Hart: "How do we know that you don't have some sort of weapon on you? How do we know that if we come down there you aren't going to go all postal on us or something? You want revenge, Steve. And people who want revenge often aren't very rational."

SW: "Look. I don't have any weapons of mass destruction on me. I'm not here to go postal, as you say, on you guys. I want Valentine to be good and healthy when he steps into the ring with me."

Valentine and Hart had an off-mic conversation that looked like it got quite heated. Hart was picked up on a mic saying, 'Me?'

Finally, the discussion ended. Hart didn't look all that happy.

GV: "Gary's coming to get the contract. He'll bring it back to me and I'll sign it."

Hart cautiously made his way to the ring. When he got to ringside, he turned and looked back at Greg. Greg was urging Hart on from the safety of the entrance stage. Hart deliberately made his way to the apron. Williams stood in the ring with the contract for Hart to take. Hart slowly got in the ring and looked at Williams and back at Valentine. Valentine encouraging Hart to get the contract and bring it to him. Hart moved closer to Williams and Hart seemed nervous. Williams held out the contract and after a brief pause, Hart quickly grabbed the contract out of Williams' hand and turned and quickly walked out of the ring and dropped to the floor. Hart briefly looked back to make sure Williams wasn't following him and quickly walked back up the aisle and handed the contract to Valentine. Valentine quickly signed the contract and held it up.

GV: "There! You happy now, Williams?! The match between us is now set in stone for 'Heatwave'!"

SW: "Now, you need to give the contract back to me."

GV: "What?!"

SW: "I need the contract back. Wait there, I'll come and get it."

GV: "Whoa! You don't need to do that! Gary, take the contract back to him!"

Hart looked at Greg in disbelief. Valentine shoved the contract into Hart's hands. After a brief off-mic discussion, Hart made his way back down to ringside. Hart got up on the apron and looked at Williams. Hart looked back at Valentine.

GV: "Gary, show Williams the man you really are! Walk right up to him and shove that contract in his face! Show him that we aren't afraid of anyone!"

Hart cautiously climbed into the ring. He stood and looked at Williams for a few seconds and then cautiously moved towards him. Hart handed Williams the contract.

SW: "You're all man, Hart."

Williams extended his hand to shake Hart's. Hart looked nervously at Williams and then briefly back at Valentine standing on the stage. Hart extened his hand and Williams shook it and released his grip. Hart looked like he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to leave the ring when Williams suddenly dropped the contract and his mic, spun Hart around, grabbed Hart and nailed Hart with the Oklahoma Stampede. Hart laid out in the ring as fans popped. Valentine now standing in the aisle but not coming any closer as Williams stood over Hart doing the football practice running-in-place drill with bent knees. Fans eating it up. Valentine furious in the aisle but getting nowhere near the ring as Williams looked dead ahead at him as the segment ended.)

(Announcers discussed the Valentine-Williams match coming up at 'Heatwave'. Said DDP is here next!)

(Video aired from last week of DDP's reaction after losing to Ted DiBiase of The Firm in a hard-fought bout.

VIDEO:

After the match: A battle-weary Ted was still in the ring, bent over with hands on hips. DDP slowly recovered and was now sitting up next to the ropes. A tired Ted walked over to wear DDP was. In a shocker, Ted extended his hand to DDP. DDP looked up at Ted for a moment and then turned his head away as he used the ropes to make it to his feet. Ted was still standing in the ring. DDP looked at Ted again and then left the ring and dropped to the floor. Ted looked out at DDP and then left the ring and headed to the back.

DDP was now walking on the floor with hands on hips. He was frustrated. DDP then angrily grabbed one of the monitors off the announcer's table and smashed it to the floor. He then grabbed the other monitor off the table and smashed it on the floor as well.

Lee Marshall came over to try and interview DDP.

LM: "Dallas Page, we know the frustration you must..."

DDP: "You know the frustration I'm going through? You do, huh?"

LM: "Hold on there, Dallas..."

DDP: "I'll show you the frustration I'm feeling right now, Lee Marshall."

DDP grabbed Marshall and threw him hard into the ringside barricade. Marshall crumpled to the floor. Crowd seemed stunned as DDP looked briefly at the downed Marshall and then stalked off as the program faded to black.)

(In-ring: Lee Marshall interviewed DDP.

'Smells Like Teen Spirit' played over the p.a. system and out came to DDP to a decent amount of cheers.

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 slapped hands with fans as he made his way to the ring. DDP got in the ring and walked over and shook Lee Marshall's hand.

DDP: "Let me just start this interview with this. Last week, you saw me shove Lee Marshall into the ringside barricade. What I did was wrong. I apologized to him privately before the show and now I want to make a public apology to him. Lee, I'm sorry, brother. What I did last week was totally uncalled for. And I promise that something like that will never happen again."

LM: "Dallas, I accepted your apology backstage. As far as I'm concerned it's water under the bridge. Changing the subject, Dallas, you had another tough loss to a member of The Firm last week. This does have to be eating at you, correct?"

DDP: "It bothers me a lot. I think about this all the time. I had Ted DiBiase on the ropes and I couldn't close the deal. These losses to The Firm are really affecting my psyche. I'm losing sleep over this situation. It's been a rough few weeks. I've given it my all in these matches because I know what they mean to the UWL. I'm letting down the team. And that's what bothers me the most."

LM: "After the match with Ted DiBiase last week, we just saw it in the video replay, Ted DiBiase, in what can only be described as a shocking moment, came over and offered to help you up off the mat and you rejected the offer. What did you think of DiBiase's gesture?"

DDP: "I respect DiBiase as a wrestler. He's one of the best around. But in this war between the UWL and The Firm he's an enemy combatant. He cannot be trusted. We're looking to beat The Firm. We're looking to one day run them out of the UWL. I'm not gonna accept some token friendly gesture from a guy who, if he gets the chance would destroy my career. To hell with that. I don't care if he respects the fight I've put up against him and his men. They treat us like their enemy and we in the UWL must treat them like our enemy. There is no neutral ground in this war. None."

LM: "Final question. I know you were angry after the loss last week. The destruction of some of the video equipment after the match. Was that all based on your frustration?"

DDP: "Yes it was. I'm just glad their wasn't other UWL equipment out there to destroy because believe me, with the frame of mind I was in, I would have destroyed it. This whole situation with The Firm is just getting to me, man. I have got to break out of this personal cycle of losing matches to them. I've got to turn things around for the sake of the company. Because if I don't, then I dread the thought of knowing that I might have played a major role in letting the UWL fall into The Firm's hands.")

(Annoucers discussed the DDP interview. Hyped still to come: Wahoo McDaniel vs. Arn Anderson; an interview with UWL World Champion Roddy Piper; The Firm is here; an interivew with Dusty Rhodes; TV Title vs. President's Championship Match: Rip Oliver (TVC) vs. Rick Steiner (PC); another 'Heatwave' PPV Update; and more! Said the Last Man Standing Match: Race vs. Graham was coming up!)

(Video footage aired from last week of Graham challenging Race to a rubber match since they'd split their two recent matches and Watts made it a Last Man Standing match.)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson interviewed Arn Anderson.

LN: "Arn, a few weeks ago we saw you come to Harley Race's defense as he was being attacked after the Indian Strap match with Wahoo McDaniel. Two weeks ago, Wahoo said that you ought to mind your own business.Tonight, you've got Wahoo in a match later on."

Arn: "I couldn't just stand by when I saw what was happening to Harley. I've always had a deep respect for him. Even when we were on opposite sides I couldn't help but admire what he has done in his illustrious career. You can truly use the word 'great' when talking about Harley. But the thing I admire about him the most is that he never changes. Whether cheered or booed by the fans, Harley is always Harley. You know right where he stands at all times. There's no guile in him whatsoever.

"As for Wahoo, well, he told me not to meddle in his business. I meddled in it. I'm not a bit sorry that I did. And I'm looking to take him down tonight. And a little piece of advice for his manager. JJ, do the right thing and stay out of this match. Because if you don't...bad things will happen to you."

LN: "Ole Anderson has spoken of you lately. You came to the aid of Buzz Tyler last week when the Anderson brothers were attacking him. What's the situation there?"

Arn: "It's the same as it's always been. Ole and I may be related. But I'm carving my own path here in the UWL. Ole needs to accept that and let the whole thing about us being blood kin go. I may have owed him a lot early in my career, but I owe him nothing now. And I'll pick and choose my allies based on trust and not on shared DNA.")

Match 2 (Last Man Standing Match)

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

('California Dreamin' played over the p.a. system and out came Graham with Wizard. Wizard was in his tie-dyed tux, gold turban, sunglasses, white shoes and carrying his gold-tipped cane. They were booed.

Once in the ring, Graham struck some bodybuilder poses to the un-delight of the crowd.

Music-only version of 'Turn The Page' played and Race cam to the ring to a good reaction. Race once again did not slap hands with fans.

Match was basically both men putting each other down and trying to get the 10-count. Both men came close to defeat, but each was able to stave it off by just beating the count.

At the end of the match, the two men had battered one another. Race had gained a a brief advantage and 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 to the mat. Both men down. Graham made it to his feet first. As Race got up, Graham stunned Race with a savate kick. Race stumbled back and crashed into the ref and the ref crashed into the turnbuckles and went down in the corner as Race went down to a knee. Graham kicked Race in the side of the head and then grabbed Race and whipped Race into the ropes and caught Race coming off with a flying shoulder tackle. Race and Graham both down. Graham to his feet first. Graham grabbed Race and attempted to hoist Race up for Race's finisher, the piledriver, but Race twice blocked the move and backdropped Graham to the canvas. Both men slowly to their feet. Graham went to nail Race with a double sledge but Race caught Graham with a kick to the gut that doubled over Graham. Race then mustered everything he had to nail Graham with the piledriver as the fans popped. Graham dead. Race went down as well. Ref slowly starting to stir. Race was getting to his feet as Graham was barely moving. Suddenly, JJ Dillon came charging to ringside. Just as Race got to his feet next to the ropes, Graham was still down. Ref still not engaged. JJ reached into the ring and zapped Race in the lower back with a stun gun. Race crumpled to the mat. JJ fled the scene.

Both men now down. Groggy ref then made it to his feet but did not see the crime. Ref slowly began the count. Graham finally started to stir. Race struggling to get up. As the count grew, Graham and Race were getting up. At the count of nine, Graham made it to his feet and Race crumpled back to the mat. Ref counted 10 and called for the bell. An ecstatic Wizard climbed into the ring and celebrated as fans booed. Ref went over and raised Graham's hand to make it official. An unsteady Graham and his manager left the ring as Race was still down and holding his lower back in the ring.

WINNER: Graham - Beat the 10-Count before Race - 11:21)

(After the match: Arn Anderson made his way to the ring. Arn got in and started talking with the ref and tried to explain what happened but the ref gestured by pointing to his eyes that he didn't see the crime. Arn had a few more words with the ref and then went over and helped Harley to his feet. Race made it to the back on his own power.)

(Announcers discussed Graham winning thanks to JJ's interference. Hyped still to come: Wahoo McDaniel vs. Arn Anderson; an interview with UWL World Champion Roddy Piper; The Firm is here; an interivew with Dusty Rhodes; another 'Heatwave' PPV Update; and more! Said the TV Title vs. President's Championship Match: Rip Oliver (TVC) vs. Rick Steiner (PC) was coming up!)

(Video aired from last week of Rip Oliver successfully defending the TV Title against Adrian Adonis of The Firm and then David Schultz coming to the ring after the match and laying out Oliver with the Redneck Death Drop (aka, Scorpion Death Drop).

Match 3 (TV Title vs. President's Championship)

Rick Steiner (OC) vs. Rip Oliver (TVC)

(Oliver came to the ring to 'Bad To The Bone'. He was mainly booed but had a core of supporters. He was wearing the belt around his waist.

Steiner came to the ring to the song 'Welcome To The Jungle'. He got a strong ovation as he had the title on around his waist. Steiner ran to the ring slapping hands and barking. Steiner got in the ring and continued the routine.

Announcers pointed out that the winner would be both the President's Champion and the TV Champion.

Good match between these two with some exciting near falls.

At the end of the match, Oliver had just dropped Steiner with a rear sitout mat slam. Oliver assumed the position and waited for Steiner to get to his feet. When Steiner got up, Oliver went to hit him with the superkick but Steiner ducked the move and Oliver turned around and Steiner caught Oliver in the fireman's carry position for the 'Steiner Driver' (aka, Death valley Driver) but Oliver wriggled free from Steiner's grasp, dropped down behind Steiner, shoved Steiner front-first into the ropes and caught Steiner coming off and lifted Steiner up on his shoulders. Oliver nailed Steiner with an electric chair slam. Oliver again assumed the position and waited for Steiner to get up.

But another superkick chance wasn't happening...

Rick Rude and David Schultz of The Firm, in street clothes, hit the ring. Schultz attacked Oliver and Rude charged over and started hammering away on Steiner as the ref called for the bell. Rude and Schultz hammered away on Oliver and Steiner and then went to whip them into each other but Oliver and Steiner reversed and sent Rude and Schultz crashing into one another. Crowd popped. Most cheers Oliver probably ever heard in his life. Rude got up next to the ropes and Steiner drove him to the floor with a Steiner Line. Schultz also got up next to the ropes and Oliver sent the crowd into orbit when he superkicked Schultz over the top rope to the floor.

Oliver and Steiner were in the ring and facing away from each other. The pair, standing their ground, backed into each other and both quickly turned and looked at the other with fists raised and ready to fight. After staring down each other for a moment, the two briefly had words. Steiner extended his hand to shake Oliver's. Oliver looked at Steiner's hand and Oliver slowly extended his. As Steiner went to clasp Oliver's hand, Oliver quickly pulled it away and ran it through his blond hair and then turned and left the ring and dropped to the floor, grabbed his TV Title and headed back up the aisle to more boos than cheers as Steiner looked on from the ring.

DECISION: No Contest - 6:05)

(Announcers discussed the wild end to the Oliver-Steiner match. Said an interview with Dusty Rhodes was coming up!)

(Video aired from last week of Dusty attacking Bam Bam Bigelow and brawling with Bigelow when other members of The Firm came to ringside and helped Bammer beat down Dusty and no UWL wrestlers coming to Dusty's aid and The Firm members scuffling with security.)

(In-ring: Dusty Rhodes promo.

Dusty came to the ring to the song 'You Can't Judge A Book' by Hank Williams, Jr. He got a strong ovation coming out and slapped hands with fans as only Dusty can slap them. Dusty was in a white dress shirt, blue jeans and cowboy boots. Dusty got in the ring and played to he fans who were eating it up. He had a mic.

DR: "Last week, I suffered a beatdown at the hands of members of The Firm. Not one UWL wrestler came to my defense. And you know what, I don't blame them. Don't blame them at all. They don't trust me and I understand that. I've still got the stench of being with The Firm on me. I'm gonna have to work real hard to build trust with those guys. You see, being with The Firm gives you a very bad reputation. Since they're always scheming, you never know if someone who claims they're out is on the level. The question I have for you people is...will you work with me to show the UWL boys that I am a changed man and I'm gonna work real hard to do my part to make sure The Firm doesn't achieve its goals!"

Crowd popped.

DR: "That's what the 'American Dream' was hoping to hear! Now, Bam Bam Bigelow! You and I have some unfinished business, jack! We're like two steaming locomotives coming down the tracks from opposite directions! And we are gonna collide! And when we do, it's gonna be the train wreck of train wrecks! We're gonna have our rumble, Bam Bam! And if you're man enough it's just gonna be me and you! I can still feel the blood caked on my face after you busted me open with that chair a few weeks ago when I was given the boot by The Firm! I can still feel the cold, unforgiving steel of that chair crashing down on my head! And I have an IOU! And on that IOU it says that Dusty Rhodes owes Bam Bam Bigelow one major league ass-kickin'!"

More crowd cheers.

Crowd reaction suddenly turned mixed as Bam Bam Bigelow, in his ring attire, came out on the entrance stage. Bigelow started to walk down the ramp, suddenly stopped, turned and gestured to the back. Out came Adrian Adonis, Hall and Nash. The four made their way to the ring and got on the apron. The trio got up on opposite sides of the ring as Dusty backed up. The four then got into the ring. Crowd popped as Lex Luger, Lord Humongous and The Missing Link charged to the ring. The three got into the ring and the four Firm members backed off to one side of the ring as Lex, Lord and Link sided with Dusty. Dusty was now rarin' for a fight. A stand-off ensued. Crowd then grew even louder as Ken Patera, in street clothes, came to the ring brandishing a crowbar. Patera got in and immediately sided with Dusty and his new friends. The four members of The Firm quickly exited to the floor as the fans were now roaring. Dusty was fired up now! Patera was ready to bash skulls. Luger and the World Tag Team Champs were ready to rumble as well. Firm members started heading back up the aisle and Bigelow turned and said something that was not picked up because of the crowd noise. The quartet then turned and headed to the back.

In the ring, Dusty turned and shook the hands of the men who came to his aid and there were also a few hugs, including one from Lord Humongous.)

(Announcers discussed Bigelow, Hall, Nash and Adonis coming to the ring to attack Dusty and Lord, Link, Luger and Patera coming to Dusty's aid.

Stack: "Looks like Dusty now has some friends in the UWL!"

Hyped still to come: An interview with UWL World Champion Roddy Piper; The Firm is here; an interivew with Dusty Rhodes; another 'Heatwave' PPV Update; and more! Said Arn Anderson vs. Wahoo McDaniel was next!)

Match 4

Wahoo McDaniel (w/ JJ Dillon) vs. Arn Anderson

('The Fight' by Giorgio Mordor played over the p.a. system and Arn Anderson came to the ring. He got a solid ovation. Arn slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring.

Wahoo and JJ started coming to the ring when the crowd popped when Lord Humongous came out and grabbed JJ. Wahoo smashed Lord in the back with a forearm smash. Lord looked at Wahoo and popped Wahoo with a punch and then nailed JJ with a punch and butted the two men's heads together. Crowd roaring as Lord hoisted JJ over his shoulder and walked off with him to the back. Wahoo took a minute to shake out the effects of Lord's actions against his person.

Match was a solid affair as you would expect between these two veterans.

At the end of the match, Wahoo and Arn were battling it out. Wahoo had the advantage and nailed Arn with a blistering series of chops. Wahoo then went to whip Arn into the ropes but Arn reversed and caught Wahoo coming off with the spinebuster. Crowd wenr nuts. Arn for the cover and hooked the leg. 1...2...2-1/2... Wahoo barely kicked out. Arn grabbed Wahoo and whipped Wahoo into the buckles. Arn mounted the middle buckle and popped Wahoo in the head with some punches. As Arn dropped to the mat, Wahoo stunned Arn with a chop out of nowhere that sent Arn crashing to the mat. Wahoo then grabbed Arn's legs and went for the cover while placing his feet on the middle buckle for leverage and the ref didn't catch it. 1...2...3! Wahoo quickly removed his feet from the buckle and got to his feet. Ref raised Wahoo's hand in victory and Wahoo quickly left the ring and dropped to the floor. Wahoo backed up the aisle and was smiling as a serious looking Arn looked on at the victorious Chief.

WINNER: Wahoo - Pinfall - Pinned Arn with his feet on the ropes - 6:53)

(Announcers discussed Wahoo defeating Arn thanks to a little extra leverage. Said an appearance by UWL World Champion Roddy Piper is coming up!)

(Announcers hyped for next week on 'Slam!':

- President Watts has ordered it! Rick Steiner (PC) & Rip Oliver (TVC) vs. Rick Rude & David Schultz (The Firm)

- Another Watts Special! Lord Humongous & Missing Link (WTTC), & Lex Luger (w/ Rhodes & Patera in their corner) vs. Adrian Adonis, Hall & Nash (w/ Bigelow & DiBiase in their corner!) (The Firm)

- Awesome Kong vs. Mad Maxine

AND MORE!!!

'Slam!' - Tuesdays - FX - 9:30pm E/P)

(Announcers said an appearance by UWL World Champion Roddy Piper was coming up!)

(In-ring: Roddy Piper promo.

Bagpipe music filled the arena and the fans popped in anticipation of seeing the UWL World Champion.

They kept waiting...

The music kept playing but no one was coming out.

Stack: "We've just gotten word that something is going on in the back!"

Backstage: Larry Nelson was headed to an exit door with a camera following him.

LN: "Members of The Firm attacked Roddy Piper as he was walking to the Gorilla position to be introduced and they've taken Piper outside!"

Nelson and the cameraman went outside.

LN: "Oh my God! Help!"

Bigelow, Hall, Nash, Adonis, Schultz and Rude (no DiBiase) were beating the hell out of Roddy Piper. Bigelow then sent Piper careening towards the wall and Piper slammed face-first into the unforgiving concrete. Piper went down next to the wall and the animalistic Firm members were standing around Piper and putting the boots to him. UWL security came charging out and members of The Firm stopped assaulting Piper and diversified by assaulting the UWL security staffers. The Firm was holding their own against UWL security. Bigelow was really tearing into UWL security and Hall started using a trash can on some of them. The assault party was in full swing as Piper was just laying facing the wall when Luger, Patera, Lord, Link, Arn, DDP and Dabney Coleman (just kidding!) and Dusty Rhodes came charging out. Five had weapons. Ken had the crowbar. Arn, Dusty, DDP and Luger had chairs. Lord and Link came out without weapons. The members of The Firm fled the scene when they saw the UWL motley crew coming their way.

Luger was picked up on a mic.

LL: "We need EMT's out here immediately!"

It was a chaotic scene. Arn rolled the semi-conscious Piper over and his face was a crimson mask. EMT's came out with a few stretchers. UWL security members were also laid out and some were ambulatory but they were hurting.

LN: "Steve and Joe, it looks like a war zone back here! There are bodies everywhere! There are the walking wounded! The Firm is really starting to escalate things in this war with the UWL! I think this whole thing has now risen to a whole other level! I'll keep you guys abreast of what's going on back here throughout the rest of the show!")

(Announcers discussed the horrific attack launched by The Firm on Roddy Piper and UWL security and then sent it to a commercial break.)

(Back from commercial, Larry Nelson was standing in the back as EMT's were getting Piper and some UWL security members stabalized on stretchers and checking on injured UWL security members. Rhodes, Luger, Patera, Arn, DDP, Lord and LInk were still out back checking on the wounded. Pres. Watts was now out and he and Rhodes were with Roddy Piper.

LN (more subdued now): "We are out back of the Dorton Arena and this is the scene right now. The Firm attacked Roddy Piper backstage, dragged him outside and continued the beating and then slammed Piper's face into the wall. As you can see, Piper is being bandaged up right now as he was busted wide open. We've got UWL security members being treated. This is just pure carnage. I've never seen anything like it in all my years of covering wrestling."

Nelson walked over to Pres. Watts.

LN: "President Watts, may I have a..."

BW: "Not now. Not right now, Larry."

LN: "Steve and Joe, I'll have more updates as they become available."

Some talking by the wrestlers and EMT's heard as they continued to deal with the harsh situation.

(Announcers discussed the developing situation some more.)

(Announcers then intro'd video from last week of Koko B. Ware defeating Grog and after winning the match getting up and pointing at The Sacred Anvil and telling him: 'You're next!')

('HEATWAVE' PPV UPDATE!

Announcers ran down the card so far:

UWL World Title: Roddy Piper (WC) vs. Ted DiBiase (The Firm)

President's Championship: Rick Steiner (PC) vs. Rick Rude (The Firm)

'Heatwave' - Sunday - Aug. 18 - Glendale, AZ - Jobing.com Arena - 8pm E/5pm P - Tickets on sale NOW!)

(Announcers said The Firm is here next!)

(Back from commercial:

Injured participants in the fight with The Firm as well as Roddy Piper were still being tended to. Shot of Roddy Piper being laoded on a stretcher into the back of an ambulance with the six men who came to his aid surrounding him and talking to him. Piper had a huge white bandage wrapped around his head and the blood was seeping through.

Pres. Watts pulled Luger, Patera, Arn, DDP, Dusty, Lord and Link aside.

Mic picked up Watts.

BW: "Men, I know you want to go after The Firm right now and I don't blame you. But, to keep the peace for the rest of the show, I'm asking you to stay away from the ring. The Firm is scheduled to talk. Let them have their say uninterrupted and we'll deal with this issue later on. OK?"

Wrestlers nodded their heads in agreement. Wrestlers and Watts turned and looked at the ambulance leaving with Piper in the back.

BW: "All right. We don't need anymore violence tonight.")

(In-ring: The Firm promo.

'Money' played over the p.a. system and out came all the members of The Firm. More boos than usual for the group as they made their way to the ring. Nash, DiBiase and Bigelow had mics.

The group got in the ring and soaked in the reaction for a moment.

KN: "Whew! I never knew beating the crap out of Roddy Piper would be that much work!"

Boos got louder.

KN: "Piper needs to face the cold, hard reality that our charge after that World Title has just intensified! He's held it long enough! And at 'Heatwave' he's gonna become the ex-UWL World Champion! Every wrestler needs to sit up and pay attention to what we just did to Piper! This whole war between the UWL and The Firm is escalating to levels never seen before! We are growing impatient! We want what we want and we want it now! We've waited long enough to start seizing what is rightfully ours! We're through playing games! Every wrestler on the UWL roster is now a target like they've never been a target before! In the past, if you left The Firm alone then we left you alone! Those days are over!

"All UWL wrestlers need to know that now they could be targeted for destruction by The Firm at any time! All of you are potential victims of The Firm! We're taking no prisoners! The time has come to implement the next stage of our plan and you are all seeing it unfold before your very eyes!"

Bam Bam: "It looks like Dusty Rhodes has some friends in the UWL now! That includes former Firm member Ken Patera! Those guys on the UWL side of the aisle talk about destroying us! They've got it all wrong! In the end, we're going to destroy them! It is The Firm's destiny to one day rule this company, and all UWL personnel will be taking their orders from us! And you fans, you'll take what we give you and you'll like it...or else!

"Dusty, I've got an idea! You talk about wanting a match with me! You say it will be like two high-speed locomotives colliding with each other! I agree! It will be a train-wreck of a match! But it will be you who is the one laying in a mangled mess at the end! So, why don't we have our match at 'Heatwave', Dusty! This garbageman needs to take out some UWL trash; and I can't think of a bigger piece of trash than you!

"And Roddy Piper! It was so nice to beat you! Maybe we can do it again sometime!"

TD: "What happened out back was a message beating. Roddy Piper's had a good run as the World Champion. But that belt is OUR destiny! That World Title is gonna be The Firm's by Divine Right! And our destiny will be fulfilled in 19 days at 'Heatwave' when I walk out of that ring as the UWL World Champion! Piper needs to know that as long as he holds that belt that he is Public Enemy #1 in the eyes of The Firm! We have to have that title! The time for talking is over for The Firm! It is now a time to act! And we are gonna be more relentless than we've ever been in pursuing all of our goals!

"And I would be remiss if I didn't mention Rick Rude! He's gonna be your new President's Champion after 'Heatwave'! And Hall and Nash are gonna re-claim the World Tag Team Titles! And as for the TV Title, Rip Oliver, you superkicked the wrong guy tonight! David Schultz is, as of right now, gonna hunt you until that belt is around his waist! We're gonna control all the male championships in the UWL! And then it will happen... We will make the biggest power-play in the history of wrestling and take over the UWL! It will be ours! And the final surge towards that ultimate goal begins at 'Heatwave'! No group of wrestlers has ever been able to seize control of a wrestling company before! Some have tried! But they all failed in the end! The ending will be different this time and that is a promise!

"Before I wrap this up, there's one man out there that I want to talk about. His name is Dallas Page. I have to admit that I have a lot of respect for Page. He's a great wrestler. He's given several of us in The Firm some of the toughest matches we've had since we started arriving on the scene in the summer of 2011."

Crowd started buzzing and the crowd turned to see what was going on. Crowd then popped.

TD: "Dallas, I have a question I would like to ask you next week right here on 'Slam!'. It's a very important question."

Ann. Stack: "It's Roddy Piper! We saw him leave in the ambulance! How did he get back here?!"

A battered, bloodied Piper hopped the ringside barricade and climbed into the ring behind the Firm members who were all facing the camera.

TD: "It could be a life-changing offer for you..."

Piper dropped down to a knee and low-blowed Adonis as the crowd went nuts. Piper got up as Firm members turned around. Piper nailed Rude and Schultz with punches and then started fighting with other members. Piper was briefly holding his own before Firm members got the advantage. Firm members were now beating the hell out of Piper and DiBiase joined in the fray. The group pounded away on Piper. Crowd popped as Luger, Rhodes, Patera, Arn, Lord, Link and DDP came charging to the ring. The Firm saw the group coming and six bailed from the ring to the floor just as the UWL 7 got in the ring. Adonis was slow leaving the ring because of the effects of the low-blow and DDP caught Adonis just before he got out of the ring, spun him around and nailed Adonis with the Diamond Cutter as the crowd nearly blew the roof off the building. Adonis rolled out on the apron as was dragged to the floor by fellow Firm-ites. Piper down in a heap in the ring and a bloody mess. The UWL 7 formed a wall of protection around the downed champ and were prepared to fight The Firm.

Show went off the air as the stand-off continued.)

(Show Intro)

(Crowd Shots/Pyro)

(Announcers Steve Stack and Joe Pedicino welcomed viewers and discussed the two assaults by The Firm on UWL WC Piper on last week's program. They then ran down the program: Lord Humongous & Missing Link (WTTC) & Lex Luger (w/ Dusty Rhodes & Ken Patera in their corner) vs. Adrian Adonis, Scott Hall & Kevin Nash (w/ Ted DiBiase & Bam Bam Bigelow in their corner) (The Firm); Rip Oliver (TVC) & Rick Steiner (PC) vs. Rick Rude & David Schultz (The Firm); Firm Director DiBiase has an announcement to make; Steve Williams makes his 'Slam!' in-ring debut; UWL World Champion Roddy Piper is here; an appearance by Koko B. Ware; Ken Patera vs. Gene Anderson; Buzz Tyler sees action; Awesome Kong vs. Mad Maxine; another 'Heatwave' PPV Update; and more. Then sent it to the ring.)

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

BW: "I've seen a lot of things in this business over the years. I'm not really shocked by much anymore. But the attack on World Champion Roddy Piper by The Firm last week was way over the line. The Firm seems to be getting out of control. Fines, suspensions, even firings don't seem like they're enough to quell their rampaging behavior. Those guys seem absolutely determined to cause chaos in the UWL and implement their agenda. I want you all to know that UWL officials and company owner KD Smith had a couple of emergency meetings at the UWL headquarters in Seattle last week to discuss the matter and how to tackle this escalating problem. I'll have more on The Firm in a moment.

"Right now, I need Wahoo McDaniel and JJ Dillon to come to the ring."

After a brief pause, Wahoo and JJ made their way to the ring to strong boos. Wahoo was in street clothes and JJ was in a suit. Both had mics. The pair got in the ring.

JJ: "What's this about, Watts?"

BW: "You'll find out in just a minute. Would Harley Race please come out here?"

Music-only version of 'Turn The Page' played over the p.a. system and Harley Race came to the ring. He got a good ovation. Race was in street clothes and once again did not slap hands with fans on the way to the ring. He had a mic.

JJ: "Why did you call him out here?!"

Race got in the ring and JJ jumped behind Wahoo. Race glared at the pair.

BW: "Before we go any further, I want you all to take a look at the JumboTron. JJ, you especially need to pay attention."

Video aired of JJ sneak-attacking and cheap-shotting Race several times over the last few months and Race not being able to retaliate,

including last week where JJ snuck down to the ring and cost Harley the Last Man Standing match against 'Superstar' Graham by zapping Race in the back with a stun gun.

BW: "JJ, do you have anything to say for yourself after seeing that?"

JJ: "Why did you have to show that? What was the purpose?"

BW: "I'll answer that in a minute. Harley and Wahoo, the feud between you has been hot and heavy for months now. It's time to put an exclamation point on this matter. So at 'Heatwave', it's gonna be Harley Race vs. Wahoo McDaniel in a steel cage!"

Crowd cheered the news.

HR: "Sounds great to me, Mr. President. That's the kind of match where things should be settled once and for all."

WM: "I agree. This will be the match where things are finally settled between us. And I'm gonna be the man who settles everything and sends Harley scurrying from that cage at 'Heatwave' a battered and beaten man."

HR: "The last chapter has yet to be written between us, Wahoo. And when it is written on August 18th, it may be a different ending than the one you're planning. You may have to do a re-write."

JJ: "Great! Wahoo vs. Race in a cage at 'Heatwave'! It promises to be a barn-burner! And I have no douubt that Wahoo will win and emerge the victor in this feud! I hope you will have learned you lesson when it's done, Harley! You made a big mistake when you turned on us! And I want to tell you right now that I will never take you back as a member of JJ Dillon Enterprises!"

HR: "Is that threat or a promise, JJ?"

JJ: "I'm not gonna stand here and talk to him. If that's all, President Watts, Wahoo and I will be going."

Watts and Wahoo started to leave.

BW: "Hold it right there. I'm not done. JJ, I've got one more announcement and it concerns you."

JJ: "What else is there to say?"

BW: "Just this. If Harley beats Wahoo in the cage match at 'Heatwave'...then Harley gets five minutes alone in the cage with you!"

Crowd popped and JJ freaked out. Race was all smiles. Wahoo talked to JJ to calm him down.

WM: "JJ's not gonna have to worry about that stipulation being fulfilled. Harley, I'm demolishing you in that cage at 'Heatwave'! And you will never be able to lay a hand on my manager! Let's go, JJ!"

Wahoo and a shaken JJ left the ring and headed back up the aisle as Race looked on.

HR: "President Watts, that's the best news I've heard in a long time. Looking forward to beating Wahoo and then beating the living hell out of JJ in 12 days!"

Race then turned and left the ring and headed to the back.

BW: "We're also gonna have a major announcement concerning the UWL Women's World Title later tonight. Right now, I need Firm Director Ted DiBiase to come to the ring...alone!"

'Money' by Pink Floyd played over the p.a. system and DiBiase, in a suit, came to the ring with mic in hand. Usual mixed crowd reax for a Firm member.

BW: "Ted, last week The Firm hit a new low with the attack on Roddy Piper. What concerns me, of course, is how much lower can you guys go with your violent actions?"

TD: "We in The Firm do what we feel is necessary to advance our agenda."

BW: "Judging by what we saw last week, it's obvious that part of what you felt was necessary was an attempt to soften Roddy Piper up heading into your World Title match with him at 'Heatwave'."

TD: "It's all in the eye of the beholder, Bill."

BW: "Heard you have a special announcement to make later tonight. Care to fill me in?"

TD: "Quite frankly, no, I don't. You'll know what it is at the same time these paeans do."

BW: "Well, here's an announcement you won't have to wait for. Next Tuesday, on the final episode of 'Slam!' before 'Heatwave', we're gonna have ourselves quite a little six-man tag. It's gonna be Dusty Rhodes, Dallas Page and UWL World Champion Roddy Piper vs. Rick Rude, Bam Bam Bigelow and Ted DiBiase of The Firm!"

TD: "Wait! I've got a chance to win the UWL World Title just five days after next week's show! You can't do this! You're putting me in harm's way before the biggest match of my career!"

BW: "You didn't seem too concerned about harming Roddy Piper last week! So deal with it!"

TD: "I won't do it! I'm gonna have a proxy wrestle for me next week! No way I'm stepping in this ring for a match that close to 'Heatwave'!"

BW: "That's fine, Ted."

TD: "Good. I'm glad we see eye-to-eye on this."

BW: "You have a proxy wrestle for you on 'Slam! next week...and I'll choose a proxy to face Roddy Piper for the World Title at 'Heatwave'!"

Crowd popped and DiBiase went crazy.

TD: "You dirty, no good son-of-a... You wait until the day comes when I own this company, Watts! You will..."

BW: "You don't own it right now! And since you don't hold the power in this company, you'll be in this ring for that six-man tag next Tuesday or you can kiss your World Title shot goodbye at 'Heatwave'! Goodnight, Director DiBiase!"

Crowd cheered as Watts left the ring to the strains of 'Born In The USA' as a brooding DiBiase looked on from the ring.)

(Announcers discussed Watts making the big six-man match for next week on the 'Countdown To Heatwave' version of 'Slam!' and Watts threatening Ted by yanking Ted's World Title shot at the PPV if Ted didn't participate. Said Buzz Tyler sees action next!)

Match 1

Buzz Tyler vs. Ken Blackman

(As Tyler made his way to the ring to song 'Flirtin' With Disaster' by Molly Hatchet, video aired from two weeks ago of Tyler wrestling Van Hammer and Ole coming to the ring and challenging Tyler on the spot. Ole and Tyler locked up and Ole went to apply his cross armbreaker on Tyler but Tyler escaped the hold and locked Ole in the Kimura Lock but Gene and Lars Anderson made the save and attacked Tyler. Ole got free and locked Tyler in the cross armbreaker until Arn Anderson and Buzz Sawyer made the save.

Blackman gave Tyler a battle. As the match was going on, Ole came out on the entrance stage to watch. At the end of the match, Tyler caught Blackman in the Kimura Lock. After a brief struggle, Blackman tapped out. Ole made his way to ringside as the ref called for the bell. As the ref raised Tyler's hand in victory, Ole stood at ringside and Tyler saw him. Ole started walking around the ring as Tyler kept his eye on him. Ole stopped and stood on the floor on the side across from the entrance aisle. As Ole and Tyler engaged in a staring pissing contest, Lars Anderson, in street clothes, charged down the aisle and hit the ring behind Tyler. Lars bashed Tyler with a forearm smash to the back. Tyler spun around and Lars picked up the stunned Tyler and nailed him with the Minnesota Wrecker (aka, Samoan Drop). Tyler was down and Lars put the boots to him. Ole grabbed a chair from under the ring. Ole climbed in the ring with the chair as Lars dropped down and pounded Tyler in the noggin with head shots. Ole then said something to Lars and Lars grabbed Tyler's left arm and held it out on the mat. Ole placed the chair over Tyler's left arm. Crowd popped as Arn Anderson and Buzz Sawyer, in street clothes, charged to the ring. Ole and Lars bailed to the floor just as the pair hit the ring. The mandatory staredown ensued as Arn and Sawyer stood guard over Tyler and kept an eye on Ole and Lars on the floor.

Ole pointed at Arn and a mic picked up Ole:

Ole: "Arn! You'd better think about what you're doing! Those guys aren't blood kin!"

Arn just kept his eyes on his cousin Ole. Ole and Lars made their way around to the entrance way aisle and started heading back up the aisle as Ole turned and looked back at Arn before they made it to the back as Arn and Sawyer checked on Tyler.

WINNER: Tyler - Submission - Kimura Lock - 4:27)

(Announcers discussed Lars laying out Tyler with a Minn. Wrecker as Ole distracted Tyler. Hyped still to come: Lord Humongous & Missing Link (WTTC) & Lex Luger (w/ Dusty Rhodes & Ken Patera in their corner) vs. Adrian Adonis, Scott Hall & Kevin Nash (w/ Ted DiBiase & Bam Bam Bigelow in their corner) (The Firm); Rip Oliver (TVC) & Rick Steiner (PC) vs. Rick Rude & David Schultz (The Firm); Firm Director DiBiase has an announcement to make; Steve Williams makes his 'Slam!' in-ring debut; UWL World Champion Roddy Piper is here; Ken Patera vs. Gene Anderson; Awesome Kong vs. Mad Maxine; another 'Heatwave' PPV Update; and more. Said Koko B. Ware is here next!)

(Video aired for the 'UWL on Tour': Thu. - Aug. 22 - Buffalo, NY - Alumni Arena (Univ. of Buffalo); Fri. - Aug. 23 - Albany, NY - Washington Avenue Armory; Sat. - Aug. 24 - Uniondale, LI - Nassau Coliseum. More info, visit: uwlslam.com!)

(In-ring: Koko B. Ware promo.

'The Bird' by Morris Day and the Time' played and out came Koko in street clothes and carrying a mic. He slapped hands with some fans on the way to the ring and got a decent ovation from the crowd.

Koko: "You all have seen what's transpired in recent weeks between me and Father Dutch and his unholy cronies! Last week, I gained a small measure of revenge when I beat Grog! But this is not over! Not over at all! Where's President Watts?! I want to speak with him right now!"

After a brief pause, Watts made his way to the ring to very little reaction. He had a mic. Watts got in the ring.

BW: "Koko, what is it you want to say to me?"

Koko: "President Watts! Last week, after I beat Grog, I pointed right at the Sacred Anvil and told him he was next on my hit list! I want a match with him and I want it tonight!"

Crowd cheered.

BW: "Unfortunately, we already have a loaded show for tonight. But, I'll tell you what I'll do. Koko, you will have your match with the Sacred Anvil next week! And..."

Out on the entrance stage walked Father Dutch, Grog and the Sacred Anvil. They were booed. FD had a mic.

FD: "Koko seems to think he's on some kind of crusade to defeat the members of my congregation."

Koko: " I don't intend to stop at the members of your congregation, Father Dutch! I'm saving the worst for last! You're gonna be my final conquest! You're the ring leader of this coalition! You're the brains of the outift! As a matter of fact, do Grog and Sacred Anvil even have any brains?! They seem like mindless followers to me!"

FD: "I am their spiritual leader! Koko! You sinner! I will not tolerate you mocking my congregants!"

Koko: "What are you going to do about it, Father Dutch?!"

FD: "Haven't we done enough to you, already? But we will be glad to punish you more if that's your wish! Not only are you a sinner! You're a masochistic sinner! I'll make a deal with you, Koko. If you can beat the Saacred Anvil next week, then I will face you in a match! And you'd better pray that doesn't happen! Because if it does, I promise I'll drag you through hell! It will be a torture far worse than any you've ever suffered at any of our hands before! If that's what you want, then so be it!"

Koko then talked off-mic to Pres. Watts.

FD: "Look at the sinners scheming in the ring!"

BW: "Father Dutch. Here's how this will play out. If Koko beats the Sacred Anvil next week, then it will be Koko B. Ware vs. Father Dutch at 'Heatwave'!"

Crowd cheered.

FD: "You may have suprised Grog last week! But I don't think you can beat the Sacred Anvil next week! And the reason is because we will pray for your defeat every hour of every day leading to the match! Koko, you can't beat a man who prays with the fervor of a true believer!"

Koko: "Father Dutch, I've got a news flash for you! God doesn't hear the prayers of false prophets!"

FD: "Me! False prophet?! Koko! You are nothing but a worthless sinner who will reap what he has sowed next Tuesday night!"

Mixed reaction from fans as FD led his men off the stage and to the back as Koko and Watts looked on from the ring.)

(Announcers discussed the situation between Koko B. Ware and Father Dutch and his congregants. Hyped still to come: Lord Humongous & Missing Link (WTTC) & Lex Luger (w/ Dusty Rhodes & Ken Patera in their corner) vs. Adrian Adonis, Scott Hall & Kevin Nash (w/ Ted DiBiase & Bam Bam Bigelow in their corner) (The Firm); Rip Oliver (TVC) & Rick Steiner (PC) vs. Rick Rude & David Schultz (The Firm); Firm Director DiBiase has an announcement to make; Steve Williams makes his 'Slam!' in-ring debut; UWL World Champion Roddy Piper is here; Awesome Kong vs. Mad Maxine; another 'Heatwave' PPV Update; and more. Said Ken Patera vs. Gene Anderson is coming up!)

(Announcers intro'd a video challenge from the Nasty Boys to Buddy Rose and Doug Somers and the response from the latter pair.

VIDEO:

The Nasty Boys were standing in front of the UWL logo and both had mics. They were in their ring attire.

Knobs: "Buddy Rose and Doug Somers! Ya know, my partner Sags and I were out thinkin' and drinkin' the other night and came up with a great idea! It's an idea that's so monumental that you two arrogant pri... I mean, arrogant ass... let me re-phrase that, you two arrogant jerks, there, that's clean enough to air on TV, will be hard-pressed to turn it down! Tell 'em our idea, Sags!"

Sags: "Since you two like to walk around in tuxedos; and me and Knobs like to wear the penguin suits when we can get them cheap, we are challenging you guys to a tuxedo challenge! All four of us will come to the ring in tuxes and the fans will decide which team looks the best! And for a prize...the losing team owes the winning team a case of beer! How about it, Rose and Somers?!

"You guys game for this?! Let us know! We just got a couple of flashy new tuxedoes from our friend Downtown Pete! The best polyester that money can buy! We await your response!"

Video flipped and Rose and Somers were in a locker room. They were in street clothes.

Rose: "We just saw the video of the Nasty Boys wanting to face us in a tuxedo challenge. You guys do not wear tuxedos like the 'Playboy' and the 'Pretty Boy' wear tuxedos. We're high-class tuxedo wearers. You two, bottom of the barrel in tuxedos. You guys look like a couple of clowns in the coat and tails. We look...well...splendid in them. When I pour my slim, trim 217 pound frame into a tuxedo, it's pure magic. But, if you want to lose a case of beer, that's quite alright with us. We love free drinks just like the next guy. There is no way that you can beat us in a tuxedo challenge...or a wrestling match."

Somers: "Nasty Boys! I really think there's something wrong with you guys upstairs! You're serious about this challenge?! You can't compete with us in the ring or in a tuxedo fashion show! But I love humiliating people! And the people who deserve to be humiliated more than anyone else I can think of right now are the Nasty Boys! Challenge accepted! And make sure the beer you'll owe us next week is paid for!")

(Announcers discussed the Tuxedo Challenge.)

(Video aired from last week of Patera, with crowbar in hand, coming to the aid of Dusty Rhodes along with fellow UWL wrestlers Luger, Lord and Link to fight off Firm members Bigelow, Adonis, Hall and Nash who had come to the ring and attacked Rhodes.)

Match 2

Ken Patera vs. Gene Anderson

(Gene came to the ring alone to the song 'Al Var Alda' by Wardruna. Decent amount of boos. Gene was wearing his Anderson bros. rune jacket.

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 and slapped hands with fans along the way.

Short back-and-forth match but in the end Patera got the victory when nailed Gene with the full nelson slam and scored the 1...2...3!

WINNER: Patera - Pinfall - Full Nelson Slam - 2:37)

(After the match: As Patera had his hand raised by the ref, Patera was looking away from the entrance aisle. Adonis, in street clothes and carrying a crowbar, came down the aisle and got into the ring behind Patera. Adonis came up behind Patera and smashed Patera across the upper back with the crowbar and Patera crashed to the mat. Crowd popped as Luger, in his ring attire and carrying a 2x4, charged to the ring. Adonis saw Luger as Luger got in the ring and Adonis bailed from the ring to the floor. Luger stood in the ring holding the 2x4 as Adonis made his way back up the aisle. Adonis held the crowbar up in the aisle and then turned and headed to the back as Luger checked on Ken.)

(Announcers discussed the Patera win and Adonis layoing him out with a crowbar after the match and LUger coming to Patera's aid. Hyped still to come: Lord Humongous & Missing Link (WTTC) & Lex Luger (w/ Dusty Rhodes & Ken Patera in their corner) vs. Adrian Adonis, Scott Hall & Kevin Nash (w/ Ted DiBiase & Bam Bam Bigelow in their corner) (The Firm); Rip Oliver (TVC) & Rick Steiner (PC) vs. Rick Rude & David Schultz (The Firm); Firm Director DiBiase has an announcement to make; Steve Williams makes his 'Slam!' in-ring debut; UWL World Champion Roddy Piper is here; another 'Heatwave' PPV Update. Said Awesome Kong vs. Mad Maxine was coming up!)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson interviewed Buzz Tyler in the locker room.

LN: "Buzz, this situation with the Anderson brothers is really starting to heat up. Earlier tonight, we saw Ole Anderson come down to the ring to distract you and Lars snuck in the ring and laid you out with his Minnesota Wrecker. What are your plans moving forward in this matter?"

Tyler: "The first thing I want is a match with Lars Anderson! Lars is a pretty tough guy when he's sneak attacking someone! I'm getting tired of these Andersons! They're making me sick! But wrestling Lars is not the end of it! I still have the king fish of the Anderson brothers to deal with in Ole! I want a match with Ole Anderson and I want it soon! Two weeks ago, I would have made Ole pass out or broken his arm when I had him in the Kimura Lock if his brothers didn't get involved! Ole, it's about time for you and me to finally have a match that's been years in the making! Not a day goes by that I don't think about you stretching me in the ring when I was a rookie just breaking into the business! I want my chance at payback...and I want it ASAP!")

Match 3

Awesome Kong vs. Mad Maxine

(Kong came to the ring with mgr. Slick to the song 'Cry Of The Vatos' by Oingo Boingo. She was strongly booed.

Maxine gave Kong a battle in the brief affair. But in the end, Kong nailed Maxine with her implant buster (aka, lifting double underhook facebuster) and scored the 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell and raised Kong's hand in victory.

WINNER: Kong - Pinfall - Implant Buster - 1:43)

(After the match: Pres. Watts and a UWL official carrying a clipboard made their way to the ring. Watts had a mic. Very little crowd reaction. Watts got in the ring as Kong and Slick looked on.

BW: "Awesome Kong. Slick. I need you to stay in the ring right now. I've got a major announcement and it concerns you.

"Before I go any further, I just want to say that I heard Buzz Tyler's interview. And I have to say I agree with him. After what Lars Anderson did to Buzz earlier tonight, it's gonna be Lars Anderson vs. Buzz Tyler next week right here on 'Slam!'."

Modest crowd response.

BW: "Madusa, please come to the ring."

'American Woman' played and Madusa, in street clothes and the Women's World Title slung over her shoulder, made her way to the ring. She got a good ovation coming to the ring. She slapped hands with fans along the way until one lewd fan grabbed one of her cans and the hand slapping stopped. Madusa got in the ring and held the title aloft as the crowd cheered. Kong and Slick looked on.

BW: "With me is Mike Safranek of the UWL Championship Committee and he has something to say to both of you."

Watts handed Mike the mic (heh heh).

Mike: "Thank you, Bill. The UWL Championship Committee has decided that since Awesome Kong beat Madusa in a non-title match at 'Thunderstruck', Awesome Kong is the #1 contender and has earned a UWL Women's World Title shot against Madusa. The match will take place at 'Heatwave' in 12 days. I have in my hand the contract for both of you to sign to make the match official.

"Awesome Kong, if you would sign first."

Slick took he contract and briefly looked it over. He then handed it to Kong who was glaring at Madusa. Kong then signed the contract and handed it back to Slick and Slick handed it back to Safranek.

Mike: "Madusa, sign on the dotted line, please."

Madusa took the contract and signed it and handed it back to Safranek. Safranek held the contract up.

Mike: "It is now official. Madusa will defend the UWL Women's World Title at 'Heatwave' against Awesome Kong!"

Decent crowd reaction. Slick took the mic from Safranek.

Slick: "Madusa, ba-by! You have just signed away your Women's World Title reign to the most awesome female wrestler in the world...Awesome Kong!"

Slick handed the mic off to Kong.

Kong (deep, menacing voice): "Madusa. In 12 days I will become the master of the women's wrestling universe when I smash you and become the new UWL Women's World Champion. And you will never, ever wear that title again."

Kong handed the mic back to Slick, who handed the mic to Mike (yuk! yuk!). Madusa took the mic.

Madusa: "Kong. You are the monster of women's wrestling. But as of today, I am still the UWL Women's World Champion. And after our match at 'Heatwave', it might just be you who is not wearing this belt and you might not wear it ever, period!"

Kong went to move on Madusa but Slick stepped in front of Kong and Watts grabbed Madusa and held her back. The two wanted to get at each other in the ring but Watts was able to talk Madusa out of the ring and hustle her back up the aisle as an angry Kong looked on. Madusa got to the stage, turned and held the belt in the air as the fans cheered. Kong wanted to leave the ring and go after Madus but Slick stopped her and calmed her down as Madusa looked on before heading to the back.)

(Announcers discussed the UWL making the Women's World Title match between Madusa (WC) and Awesome Kong for 'Heatwave'. Said Firm Director Ted DiBiase has an announcement coming up!)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson interviewed Rick Steiner (PC) and Rip Oliver (TVC).

LN: "Rip Oliver and Rick Steiner, the question on everyone's mind as you head into your tag team match against Rick Rude and David Schultz of The Firm is, can you guys work together as a team?"

Steiner: "Larry, this is professional wrestling. Our job is to act like professionals. I know I can work with Rip Oliver as my partner. But Rip, can you work with me?"

RO: "I don't like you, Steiner. I don't like the way you run around and bark and act like an idiot. I think you're kind of dense. But, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, at least for tonight. The only thing we have in common is that we hate The Firm. So, if you carry your share of the load, then I'll uphold my end of the bargain. Don't screw with me, Steiner. Let's just keep it professional. But after the match is over, things go back to normal. And back to normal means me wanting to superkick you into oblivion."

Steiner: "That's fine! Just don't superkick me tonight!"

RO: "I will if I think you deserve it."

Steiner and Oliver then got in each other's face as Nelson sent it back to ringside.)

(In-ring: The Firm promo.

'Money' played over the p.a. system. The Firm came out to a mixed crowd reaction. DiBiase was in a suit and Bigelow was in street clothes. The rest were in their ring attire. All had mics.

They soaked in the crowd reaction after getting in the ring.

Nash: "Before we go any further with these proceedings, I have something I need to read to everyone."

Nash pulled off the pair of glasses he had hanging on the chest part of his ring attire and put them on. Nash was holding what appeared to be a contract.

Nash: "I have here in my hand a standard UWL championship match contract. On page 2, it states the following in Section 2, Article 2.1:

If a champion or champions should lose their title or titles, they are en-titled to a re-match to try and regain said title or titles.

For those of you a little slow on the uptake, that's what we call a re-match clause. We are going to trigger our re-match clause. President Watts, we want to trigger the re-match clause for a World Tag Team Title match with Lord Humiongous and Missing Link at 'Heatwave'!"

Hall: "You look really intellectual in glasses, man!"

Nash: "Thank you! I do look rather cerebral, don't I?!"

Hall: "It just screams college professor who dates some of the co-eds!"

Nash: "If I was a college professor you can bet the co-eds would be knocking down my door for more than improving their grades!"

Hall: "Lord Humongous and Missing Link! I hope you heard what 'Professor Big Sexy' just said! I wonder if you can decipher what he said! Or do you have to have Dark Journey spell it out for you in cave paintings! We want our World Tag Team Title re-match at 'Heatwave'! President Watts, we know you're listening, man! Make the match! We're owed!"

Adonis: "Ken Patera. When I hit you across the back with that crowbar, it looked like it really hurt. Ouch! I sincerely hope you're not feeling better."

Rude: "Tonight, David Schultz and the 'Ravishing One' will face Rick Steiner and Rip Oliver! As members of The Firm, you know we'll work as a cohesive unit! But can Oliver and Steiner work together as a functional tag team?! I wouldn't bet on it! Not with Rip Oliver in th equation! He doesn't like anybody, including his own mother! And the fans will get a little preview tonight of what I'm gonna do to Rick Steiner with the President's Championship on the line at 'Heatwave'!"

Schultz: "Rick Steiner and Rip Oliver can't trust one another! That's a given! Rip, you superkicked me to the floor last week! You won't do that again tonight, boy! And I'm gunnin' for that TV Title that's around your waist and I'm gonna take it!"

Bam Bam: "Dusty Rhodes! It's just 12 days until 'Heatwave'! You want me in a match?! Then let's see about doing it there! That's all I got to say!"

TD: "Roddy Piper! 12 days is all you have left in your World Title reign! 12 days until a new era begins in the UWL! It will be the era of The Firm! At 'Heatwave', we are going to establish a foothold on taking a huge step towards our ultimate goal...to seize total control of this company! And it all starts, Piper, when I beat you and become the new UWL World Champion! When you come out for your interview later this evening, Piper, I know you'll tell these people how you're now more determined than you've ever been to keep the World Title out of The Firm's hands! But it will be all talk and nothing more! What The Firm did to you last week shook you up deep inside and you know it! You'll never admit it, but you know it! The war we have waged against you the last several months is taking its toll! You've put up a helluva fight, Roddy! But all things must come to an end! You're a tired man! And a tired man is a man who knows deep down inside that he can't resist for much longer! Your resistance, though I'm sure it will be valiant, will be broken by me at 'Heatwave'!"

"I also have an announcement to make! We need Dallas Page to come out here!"

After a brief pause, music-only version of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' played over the p.a. system. DDP came out and made his way to the ring. There was no doing the 'Bang!' gesture or pyro going off. DDP was in street clothes and was all business. He didn't acknowledge the fans on the way to the ring. He had a mic.

DDP climbed into the ring without any apparent concern and looked at The Firm members and then locked in on DiBiase.

TD: "Dallas, thank you for coming out here. In recent weeks, I've grown to admire and respect you. You've given every member of The Firm that you've wrestled, including myself, quite a battle. You have pushed us like very few wrestlers have since we started arriving on the scene here. You've got a lot of fight in you. You're full of piss and vinegar. I like that. And I believe you could be one of the elite wrestlers of our time. But, in order to become an elite, you need to align yourself with the elite. Dallas, I am extending an invitation to you right now to join The Firm. How about it? Join us and rise to levels of greatness that you've never attained in this business before. Let me make you more money than you ever have in your career. You've made good money. But with us you can make phenomenal money. Join us. And when our time comes and we control this company, rule over the UWL with us."

DDP: "I have to admit that's quite an offer, Ted. It's an incredible offer, actually. And praise coming from you, man, that's high praise. No matter what one thinks of you, you're one of the best in our sport. And I do have an answer for you."

TD: "Great! Let's hear it!"

Ted was smiling when DDP dropped his mic and suddenly kicked Ted in the gut. Ted dropped his mic and doubled over and DDP moved in to nail Ted with the Diamond Cutter but Bigelow and Nash grabbed DDP and held him for Ted to retaliate against. Ted leaned down and picked up his mic and was still holding his gut.

TD: "Let him go."

Firm members seemed shocked at Ted's request and Bam and Nash didn't let DDP go.

TD: "I said let him go and let him leave the ring."

Nash and Bam let DDP go.

TD: "Leave him be. Go on, Dallas. Get out of here."

DDP looked at Ted and the flummoxed Firm members. DDP then turned and left the ring and headed back up the aisle. Crowd buzzing. Firm members were talking to Ted and were in a state of disbelief over Ted's decision over Ted's decision to let DDP walk free.)

(Announcers discussed the situation with DDP and DiBiase and DiBiase letting DDP walk after DDP kicked him in the gut and tried to Diamond Cut the Firm boss. Hyped still to come: Lord Humongous & Missing Link (WTTC) & Lex Luger (w/ Dusty Rhodes & Ken Patera in their corner) vs. Adrian Adonis, Scott Hall & Kevin Nash (w/ Ted DiBiase & Bam Bam Bigelow in their corner) (The Firm); Rip Oliver (TVC) & Rick Steiner (PC) vs. Rick Rude & David Schultz (The Firm); UWL World Champion Roddy Piper is here; another 'Heatwave' PPV Update; and more. Said Steve Williams makes his 'Slam!' in-ring debut next!)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson i'viewed Luger, Lord, Link, mgr. Dark Journey and Rhodes.

LN: "Tonight, you guys have a big six-man tag coming up. But you'll be without one of your corner men in Ken Patera."

Lex: "Larry, unfortunately that's the case. Ken Patera is still feeling the effects of being struck with that crowbar by Adrian Adonis. He won't be in our corner. But, we will have another man in our corner to replace him and we'll reveal him at match time. The Firm has gone into overdrive with their attacks recently. But we'll fight fire with fire and I can't think of two better guys to be fighting alongside tonight than the World Tag Team Champions Lord Humongous and the Missing Link!"

DJ: "We have a great team assembled for this match. We've got two solid UWL citizens in our corner in Dusty Rhodes and...you'll find out. As for Hall and Nash wanting their Tag Team Title re-match at 'Heatwave', just give us the contract and we'll sign it."

Dusty: "So The Firm is trying to take out the UWL wrestlers one-by-one! Last week, they did a number on the World Champion Roddy Piper! But, Roddy Piper is here tonight and he will be in that ring ready to take on Ted DiBiase at 'Heatwave' in 12 days! And Ken Patera, while he may be hurting right now, he will bounce back and Adrian Adonis, I would hate to be you right now! Bam Bam Bigelow says that he wants a match with me at 'Heatwave'! You don't have to ask again, Bammer! Let's make the match! Let's find out which of us will emerge from the wreckage of two steamin' locomotives colliding, daddy! You have awakened something in the 'American Dream' that hasn't been awakened since before I joined The Firm! But now, my eyes are wide open! And I'm gonna look to..."

Pres. Watts walked into the interview area.

BW: "Sorry to interrupt you, Dusty. I just wanted to make a couple of quick announcements. First, Dark Journey, the re-match for the UWL World Tag Team Titles will take place at 'Heatwave'. It's all system's go on that one. And Dusty, you and Bigelow both want the match with each other. It's a match that these fans and myself can't wait to see! It will also be Dusty Rhodes vs. Bam Bam Bigelow at 'Heatwave'! Let's get ready to hook 'em up!"

Dusty: "There you go, Bam Bam! You and me at 'Heatwave'! And it promises to be one thing...brutal!")

Match 4

Steve Williams vs. Jose Luis-Rivera

(Williams came out to the OU fight song. He was in his red and white OU track suit and slapped hands with fans coming down the aisle. He got a solid ovation coming to the ring.

Not much of a match as Williams dominated from the opening bell.

Williams finished off Rivera with his Oklahoma Stampede (aka, running powerslam) finisher and scored the 1...2...3!

WINNER: Williams - Pinfall - Oklahoma Stampede - 1:39)

(After the match: Greg Valentine, in his ring attire, hit the ring and attacked Steve Williams. Greg pounded on Williams, whipped Williams into the ropes and caught Williams coming off with a low dropkick to the left leg. Williams went down. It was obvious that Valentine was looking to damage Steve's left ankle. Greg put the boots to Williams and then grabbed Williams and dragged him over by the post. Valentine pulled Williams legs around the post and slammed Williams left ankle, which Valentine had broken three months ago, into he post repeatedly. Crowd popped as Arn Anderson charged down to ringside and jumped on Valentine. Arn started slugging it out on the floor with Valentine as Williams scooted back into the ring and was holding his left ankle. Arn got the advantage on Valentine and whipped Valentine shoulder-first into the post. Valentine bounced away from the post and quickly headed back up the aisle as Arn looked on. Arn then got into the ring and, with the ref, checked on the hurting Williams.)

(Announcers discussed Valentine attacking Williams after the match and trying to re-injure Williams' ankle which had been previously broken by Valentine until Arn made the save. Shot of Arn and the ref helping Williams over by the ropes and Williams rolling out under the bottom rope and and Arn and the ref helping Williams to the floor. Williams had his left foot raised off the ground and put his arms around the shoulder of the ref and Arn who helped him to the back.

Said Oliver (TVC) & Steiner (PC) vs. Rude & Schultz (The Firm) was next.)

Match 5

Rip Oliver (TVC) & Rick Steiner (PC) vs. Rick Rude & David Schultz (The Firm)

(Oliver and Steiner came to the ring to 'Welcome To The Jungle'. Probably the first time in Oliver's career that he's received that many cheers. Both had their titles on around their waists. No barking from Steiner on the way to the ring but he did slap hands with fans. Oliver avoided the fans like the plague.

Once in the ring, Steiner started running around and barking and the crowd barked back. Oliver shook his head in disgust and finally walked over and grabbed Steiner by the arm and waved a finger in his face and shook his head 'no' while telling Steiner to cut it out. The two had words with one another.

'Money' played and Rude and Schultz of The Firm came to the ring to a mixed crowd reaction.

Match was a back-and-forth affair and Steiner and Oliver worked suprisingly well together because they were fighting a common enemy. But they did have words with each other a couple of times during the bout. Some near falls and cheating during the match that included cheating by Oliver.

At the end of the match, Schultz and Oliver were the legal men in the ring. Oliver and Schultz engaged in a brief punch exchange that Schultz appeared to get the better of and Schultz went to whip Oliver into the ropes but Oliver reversed and caught Schultz coming off with a right cross that spun Schultz around. Oliver then nailed Shultz with a sitout rear mat slam. Oliver then assumed the position and waited for Schultz to get up. Rude suddenly hit the ring and Steiner charged in and nailed Rude with a Steiner Line. Rude crashed to the mat and rolled out on the apron and dropped to his feet on the floor as Steiner followed Rude out. Oliver briefly distracted by the goings-on between Rude and Steiner which allowed Schultz to recover. Oliver turned and went to blast Schultz with his superkick but Schultz grabbed Oliver's leg, stunned Oliver with some head shots, spun Oliver around and nailed Oliver with the Redneck Death Drop (aka, Scorpion death Drop). Schultz covered Oliver and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell. Mixed reaction from the crowd. Schultz got up and the ref raised his hand in victory.

WINNER: Schultz & Rude - Pinfall - Schultz pinned Rude with the Redneck Death Drop - 7:18)

(After the match: Schultz left the ring and joined Rude on the floor as the fighting had stopped between he and Steiner. Steiner made his way back into the ring. Rude and Schultz headed back up the aisle. Steiner reached down and extended a hand to Oliver. Oliver accepted the gesture and Steiner helped Rip to his feet. The pair looked at each other and then Steiner turned and took his title from the ref. When Steiner turned back around...WHAM!...Oliver dropped Steiner with his superkick. Most in the crowd booed but Oliver had his supporters. Oliver took his TV belt from the ref and left the ring and headed to the back as a hurting Steiner laid in the ring.)

(Announcers discussed Schultz and Rude defeating Oliver and Steiner and Oliver laying out his partner with a superkick after the match. Hyped still to come: Lord Humongous & Missing Link (WTTC) & Lex Luger (w/ Dusty Rhodes & Ken Patera in their corner) vs. Adrian Adonis, Scott Hall & Kevin Nash (w/ Ted DiBiase & Bam Bam Bigelow in their corner) (The Firm); UWL World Champion Roddy Piper is here; and another 'Heatwave' PPV Update. Said UWL World Champion Roddy Piper is coming up!)

(Announcers hyped for next week on the 'Countdown to Heatwave' edition of 'Slam!':

6-Man Tag: Roddy Piper (WC), Dusty Rhodes & DDP vs. Ted DiBiase, Bam Bam Bigelow & Rick Rude of The Firm

Lars Anderson vs. Buzz Tyler

Daphne sees action

JUST SIGNED: Arn Anderson vs. Greg Valentine

Tuxedo Challenge: Nasty Boys vs. Buddy Rose & Doug Somers

AND MORE!!!

'Slam!' - Tuesdays - FX - 9:30pm E/P)

(In-ring: Lee Marshall i'viewed UWL WC Roddy Piper.

A plaid carpet covered the canvas.

LM: "Ladies and Gentlemen! Please welcome my guest at this time...UWL World Champion Roddy Piper!"

Bagpipe music filled the arena and the fans popped as Piper came out. Piper was in street clothes and had the title slung over his shoulder. He was carrying a bottle of beer in his other hand. Once in the ring, Piper briefly played to the crowd.

LM: "Roddy, we are just 12 days from you defending the World Title against Ted DiBiase of The Firm at 'Heatwave'. But I have to ask, what's the bottle of beer for?"

RP: "Hold this."

Piper handed the belt to Marshall.

Piper then held the beer up even with his forehead.

LM: "What in the... What are you going to..."

WHAM!

Piper smashed the beer bottle against his forehead. Piper started to bleed.

LM: "Whoa! Roddy! Why do that to yourself?"

RP: "Lee Marshall! I did it to send my own message to Ted DiBiase and The Firm! They busted me open last week and thought they really sent me an intimidating message! But you see, a little blood doesn't bother me! I'm not phased by some blood! I was beaten up pretty good by DiBiase's thugs! But here I stand before you and I'm bleeding! I can take it! And I will be more than ready for my match with DiBiase at 'Heatwave'! The only way The Firm could have stopped me was by incapacitating me and they failed to do that! Blood's just part of this business! Being attacked by rogues is part of wrestling! I can take it! I'm a fighter, dammit! And Ted DiBiase's gonna get a fight from me in 12 days! It takes more than a beating to keep me down, man! If Ted DiBiase wants the title then he'll have to pry it from my hands! This war continues to rise in intensity! It is imperative that no member of The Firm gets the World Title!"

LM: "Roddy, last week we saw you get taken off on a stretcher in an ambulance. We saw the ambulance leave the arena. How did you get back here?"

RP: "I hi-jacked the ambulance!"

LM: "What?! You hi-jacked the ambulance?! How did you do that?!"

RP: "It's very simple! Would you say no to angry Scotsman with blood on his face?!"

LM: "Uh, no."

RP: "I demanded to take over the driving of the ambulance and the driver wasn't about to argue with me! I commandeered it back to the arena and you saw what happened! Those of us on the UWL side are proving that we're more than determined to keep The Firm from achieving their goals!"

Ted DiBiase walked out on the entrance stage with mic in hand to a mixed crowd reaction.

TD: "Roddy, good job there. It's always smart to bust yourself open with a beer bottle to prove a point. When I become the World Champion at 'Heatwave' you won't see that kind of silliness from me during my reign. Not my style."

RP: "I can fetch another beer from the back and bust you open with it myself if you'd like."

TD: "No, thanks. I'm not big on walking around with blood all over my face and clothes. Roddy, you say you're not worried about our match at 'Heatwave'. I wouldn't expect you to say anything else. But I know that deep down you're concerned. You know with each passing day that you get closer to the end of your reign. It has to end one day. And it will end on August 18th, 2013. You've fought the good fight for your side. But you're now worn down. We've softened you up. A challenger has to strike while the iron is hot and it's scorching hot right now. You've been beaten down by The Firm. Deny it to yourself all you want. But there's no way that what we've done to you in recent months hasn't affected you mentally and physically. You're bending right now, Roddy, and you're about to break. There will be no shame in losing the World Title to me at 'Heatwave'."

RP: "While there's usually no shame in losing a title, espcially after you've held it for a while, there would be great shame for the entire UWL if a member of The Firm was ever to become the World Champion! That can't happen, mister! And I'm gonna do everthing in my power, no matter how low into the depths of hell I have to stoop, to make sure this title does not fall into your hands at 'Heatwave'."

TD: "Yet another great rah-rah speech from Roddy Piper! But the words ring hollow! The clock is ticking on your run as World Champion and you know it, Roddy! And remember, we're both in the six-man tag team main event next Tuesday! It would be a real tragedy if something awful happened to you in that match! See you then, Piper!"

DiBiase turned and walked to the back as a bloody Piper looked on.)

(Announcers discussed the Piper-DiBiase exchange and ominous threat. Said the 6-man tag was coming up!)

Match 6

Lord Humongous & Missing Link (WTTC) & Lex Luger (w/ Dark Journey, Dusty Rhodes and ??? in their corner) vs. Adrian Adonis, Hall & Nash (w/ Ted DiBiase and Bam Bam Bigelow in their corner) (The Firm)

('Money' played over the p.a. system and out came The Firm members to the ring. They received a mixed crowd reaction.

After a brief pause, 'Breaking The Law' played over the p.a. system and the crowd exploded as Lord, Link, Luger, Rhodes and Journey came out. As they got to the bottom of the rampway, Dusty turned and gestured for someone to come out of the back. Fans popped as DDP made his way out and joined with the group and they made their way to the ring.

Lord and Link were carrying the tag titles and dropped them on the floor as they, along with Luger, stormed the ring. The six men in the match immediately started brawling with one another. Fans eating it up. Lord, Link and Luger drove Hall, Nash and Adonis to the floor. DiBiase and Bigelow came over and Ted was talking with his men. Things calmed down and the six-man tag started.

Fierce battle between these two teams that featured some dramatic near-falls and brief spurts of brawling by the participants.

During the match, DiBiase and Bigelow got in some punches and kicks on Luger behind the ref's back when Lex was out on the floor. Ref didn't see the attack, but saw Dusty and DDP start to move in Ted and Bam's direction and the ref dropped to the floor and stopped them as the assault continued.. Later in the match, Adonis had gotten tossed from the ring and it was Dusty's and DDP's turn to assault a Firm member with punches and kicks of their own to the delight of the crowd. Ted and Bam started to head in the direction of Dusty and DDP but this time the ref stopped them and ordered them back to their corner as Dusty and DDP got in a few extra licks.

At the end of the match, Hall and Luger were the legal men in the ring. You could feel the intensity of the match rising throughout the building. After some brief back-and-forth, Hall gained the advantage and whipped Luger into the ropes and looked to catch Luger coming off with a clothesline but Luger ducked the move and came back and dropped Hall with the forearm smash to the head. Nash came in and nailed Luger with a kick to the side of the face that dropped Luger. Lord hit the ring and nailed Nash with a punch that drove Nash next to the ropes and Lord drove Nash to the floor with a clothesline. Adonis hit the ring but Link came in and nailed Adonis with a flying headbutt that sent Adonis crashing to the mat and Adonis rolled out on the apron and dropped to the floor and Link followed him out. It turned into a melee' on the floor with Lord, Link, DDP and Dusty battling Adonis, Nash, Ted and Bigelow. Ref distracted by the brawl on the floor. Luger still down and feeling the effects of the kick from Nash. Hall started making his way to his feet. DDP broke away from the brawl on the floor. Ref still distracted by all the others fighting on the floor. DDP snuck into the ring as Hall got up, came up behind Hall, spun Hall around and blasted Hall with the Diamond Cutter. Crowd went nuts. DDP left the ring and re-joined the battle with The Firm on the floor.

Luger got to his feet and saw Hall unsteadily trying to get up. Hall got up and Luger blasted hall with another forearm smash to the head. Hall crashed to the mat and Luger covered Hall and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell as the fans roared. Rhodes and Bigelow were slugging out in the aisle and taking their fight to the entrance stage and beyond. The rest of the fighting petered out on the floor. Luger had his hand raised and left the ring and joined Lord, Link, DDP and Journey on the floor and they made their way back up the aisle as the remaining Firm members got in the ring with the dazed, defeated and groggy Hall. DiBiase looked out at the victorious group with an unhappy look on his face as the program went off the air.

(In-ring: UWL World Champion Roddy Piper promo.

Bagpipe music played and Roddy Piper made his way to the ring. He was in his t-shirt, kilt and ring boots and had the title around his waist.

As Piper came to the ring, video aired from last week of Piper smashing a beer bottle into his own head and edited footage of the verbal back-and-forth with Dibiase aired.

Piper was in the ring and took off the title and held it up for all to see. Fans cheered.

RP: "We are just five days away from another chapter in the war between The Firm and the UWL being written! And it may just be the most critical chapter of all! 'Heatwave' could be one of those battles like the Battle of Stalingrad was in World War 2! It could be a major turning point in deciding who wins this war in the end! The UWL needs you fans like never before! We need you there for us! Your support matters far more than you could ever know! Right now, three of the male UWL championships will be defended against Firm wrestlers at 'Heatwave'! All of us UWL champions feed off of your energy! At the Jobing.com Arena in Glendale, Arizona, we need to hear you! Can we count on the support of you fans this Sunday?!"

Decent positive response from the crowd.

RP: "I know you fans can do better than that! Really send that message to The Firm that you are behind us 110%!"

Crowd grew louder and Piper walked around the ring holding the mic in the air.

RP: "This is for the future of the company! Let the UWL wrestlers in the back feel you shake the building with your support!"

Piper once again held the mic up and the fans got raucous.

RP: "That's it! That's what we need from you fans this Sunday!

"Ted DiBiase! I have thwarted every challenge from The Firm to date when they've wrestled me for this title! On Sunday, I'm looking to make you just another statistic! I'm gonna do everything posible to make sure that your name winds up in the loser's column in the wrestling history books at 'Heatwave'! And all these UWL foot soldiers out here are gonna do their part to make sure you wind up with a big 'L' for loser burned into your forehead when all is said and done this Sunday, man! This is war! And in war there can only be one winner! The UWL knows the dark fight that lies ahead! But we are battled-tested and ready to fight another day to keep this company from ever falling into the hands of The Firm!"

Crowd cheered.

'Money' played over the p.a. system and Ted DiBiase, in his ring attire, came to the ring to a mixed crowd reaction. He had a mic. Ted got in the ring.

TD: "Roddy, I think your true calling in life was to be a football coach or Tony Robbins-sponsored motivational speaker! You really know how to rally the troops! But at 'Heatwave' this Sunday, the cheers of all these fans will be silenced when The Firm walks out of the ring with the President's Championship, World Tag Team Titles and UWL World Title! Change is coming, Roddy! You can feel it in the air! The winds are blowing in The Firm's favor! We cannot be stopped! When the day comes and we take control of this company...I've already got plans for how I'm going to use you Piper! And you're not gonna like it! You irritate me! You won't go away! But in five days that all changes! The Firm's time is now!"

RP: "Ted, when you say you've already got plans for how you're gonna use me if The Firm seizes the reins of power in the UWL, you're not saying that you're gonna try to use me like in that basement scene in the pawn shop from 'Pulp Fiction', are you?"

Ted was not amused.

TD: "No, Piper! I'm not a sicko! But you will be put through the wringer like you've never been put through it before! I'm gonna grind you down to mere dust when I'm the UWL boss!"

RP: "You may not be a sicko, but you are a megalomaniac! I've encountered a lot of egotistical wrestlers in my day, but you top them all!"

TD: "I'm finished with the talk, Piper! My actions will do the talking tonight in the six-man tag match and Sunday at 'Heatwave'! I am becoming the new UWL World Champion and there's nothing you, President Watts, all the other UWL wrestlers and company owner KD Smith can do about it! The tectonic shift that will happen in the UWL on August 18th will shake up the entire wrestling world! And you're gonna be the biggest casualty in this war!"

RP: "It is time to stop talking, Ted! And my actions tonight and Sunday will speak loudly! And the message will be sent that you and The Firm aren't winning anything!"

As Piper and DiBiase stood nose-to-nose in the ring, 'Born In The USA' played over the p.a. system. Pres. Watts came to the ring in a suit with mic in hand. He received a decent crowd response.

BW: "Ted and Roddy, any direct physical action between you two will take place in the six-man tag later tonight and in the World Title match at 'Heatwave'.

"I came out for a specific reason. Ted, for months now we've seen you use a fingerless black glove during your matches."

TD: "What are you talking about?"

BW: "I knew you would try to deny the obvious. Take a look at these pictures on the JumboTron."

Pics aired of DiBiase wearing his fingerless balck glove during matches.

TD: "Did you doctor those pictures, Bill?!"

BW: "Riiiiiiiiiight. Ted, you're out here in your ring attire. I want that glove right now!"

TD: "I don't have a glove or anything else on me."

BW: "Hold your arms in the air, Ted."

Ted shook his head and did as told. Watts patted him down.

TD: "See. Nothing."

BW: "I know you've got that black glove somewhere. I want it, Ted. I intend to have it x-rayed to see if there's anything in that glove other than just leather. And, I have another little bit of news for you. If you even try to use that leather glove in your World Title match with Roddy at 'Heatwave', you will be disqualified and never be allowed another World Title shot in this company!"

Crowd cheered.

TD: "You've really got it in for me, Bill. But, I just showed you that I don't have a glove on me. Did you expect another kind of reaction out of me? I don't need some sort of weapon to defeat Roddy Piper and win the title. I'm one of the best ring technicians there is. And that belt's gonna be in my hands when the smoke clears at 'Heatwave'.'

Piper had the belt on his shoulder and DiBiase poked the belt with his finger. Piper then shoved DiBiase and dropped the belt and was prepared to slug it out when Watts got between them.

TD: "There will be no physical altercation right now! Save it for later tonight and Sunday!"

Piper and DiBiase stared each other down as Watts stayed in the ring to keep the peace as the segment ended.)

(Announcers talked about the Piper-DiBiase confrontation and Watts coming out and wanting the fingerless black leather glove that DiBiase uses sometimes to see if it's loaded. Hyped still to come: 6-Man Tag: Roddy Piper (WC), Dusty Rhodes & DDP vs. Ted DiBiase, Bam Bam Bigelow & Rick Rude (The Firm); Arn Anderson vs. Greg Valentine; Lars Anderson vs. Buzz Tyler; Daphne wrestles; Tuxedo Challenge: The Nasty Boys vs. Buddy Rose & Doug Somers; an interview with Wahoo McDaniel and JJ Dillon; an interview with Rip Oliver; the final 'Heatwave' PPV Update; and more. Said Koko B. Ware vs. The Sacred Anvil is next!)

Match 1 (If Koko wins he gets a match with Father Dutch at 'Heatwave')

Koko B. Ware vs. The Sacred Anvil (w/ Father Dutch & Grog)

(Gregorian chants filled the arena and Father Dutch, Grog and Sacred Anvil came to the ring to boos. Father Dutch was in his priest's attire, Grog was in his silver and black mask with a cross above the eyes and his leg-length black tights with silver crosses on the outside of each leg and heavy black boots. Anvil was wearing his Mormon missionary-style attire.

'The Bird' by Morris Day and The Time played and out came Koko to a solid ovation. Koko slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring and then got up on the apron and flapped his arms like a bird and many in the crowd flapped along. Koko got in the ring and pointed right at the Sacred Anvil.

Short, hard-fought bout between the two. During the match, Father Dutch tripped up Koko behind the ref's back. Koko got up and looked down at FD and the Sacred Anvil snuck up behind Koko and rolled Koko up from behind for the pin try while holding the tights. 1...2...2-1/2... Koko kicked out.

At the end of the match, Anvil was on the offensive. Anvil worked over Koko and picked up Koko and nailed him with a spinning powerslam. Anvil for the cover. 1...2...2-3/4... Koko kicked out again. Anvil grabbed Koko and went to whip Koko into the ropes but Koko reversed and sent Anvil into the ropes and caught Anvil coming off with a stiff high dropkick. Anvil crashed to the mat. Grog jumped up on the ring apron. Koko went over and tangled up with the masked man. As the two tussled, Anvil got to his feet and charged up behind Koko and attempted to hit Koko with a flying kneee to the back but Koko escaped Grog's grasp and Anvil nailed Grog. Grog crashed to the floor as the crowd popped. Anvil turned and Koko nailed Anvil with a kick to the gut and then nailed Anvil with a double underhook DDT. Koko covered Anvil and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell. Koko got up and the ref raised his hand in victory. Koko went over and took the r.a. mic from Lee Marshall.

Koko looked right at Father Dutch who was standing on the floor:

Koko: "Father Dutch...YOU'RE NEXT!!!"

Dutch and Koko looked at each other briefly and then Koko left the ring and slapped hands with fans on the way to the back.

WINNER: Koko - Pinfall - Double Underhook DDT - 4:13)

(Announcers discussed Koko beating the Sacred Anvil and earning a match with Father Dutch at 'Heatwave'. Said the Tuxedo Challenge: Nasty Boys vs. Buddy Rose & Doug Somers was coming up!)

(In-ring: Tuxedo Challenge.

Lee Marshall was standing center ring.

LM: "Ladies and Gentlemen! it is now time for the Tuxedo Challenge! You fans will decide the winner of the challenge! The winning team gets a case of beer!"

Shot of two cases of beer, one supplied by each team, sitting on the timekeeper's table.

LM: "Introducing first, the team of 'Playboy' Buddy Rose and 'Pretty Boy' Doug Somers!"

'I'm Too Sexy' played and out came Rose and Somers in the traditional black and white tuxedos. They were wearing top hats and carrying white-tipped black canes. They were pretty strongly booed coming to the ring. The two actually looked pretty good in their tuxes. Once in the ring, the pair struck a pose by having Somers drop to a knee in front of Rose and the two extending their arms outward with their canes in their left hands.

LM: "And now, the challengers! They are the Nasty Boys!"

Good pop from the crowd as 'Fight For Your Right' by the Beastie Boys played. Nastys came out and were wearing shark skin color tuxes with powder blue shirts and ruffles. They were wearing neon pink tennis shoes and sunglasses with multi-colored paint splashings across them. They slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring. Rose and Somers were howling. The Nastys stomped around in the ring and played to the crowd.

Rose took the mic from Marshall.

Rose: "Is this a joke?! Look at these two clowns! This thing is over! There is no way Knobs and Sags can win this challenge! They look like idiots of the highest order!"

Rose handed the mic back to Marshall and Knobs walked over and took it.

Knobs: "Buddy! Why don't we let these UWL fans decide which team looks more dazzling in their tuxedos!"

Crowd cheered.

LM: "Here are the rules for the Tuxedo Challenge! Both teams will walk around in the ring and model, and I use the term 'model' loosely here, their tuxedos! The fans will then decided the winners with their cheers!

"First up...Buddy Rose and Doug Somers!"

Nastys went out and stood on the apron.

'I'm Too Sexy' played and Rose and Somers walked across the ring in synchronized fashion and turned and walked back across the ring. The men then walked to opposite sides of the ring and walked back towards the center of the ring where the men took off their hats and bowed to one another. The two men stood facing the camera side, spun their canes around in their right hands and ended up holding the canes by their canes by the white tops with the bottom firmly placed on the mat and their right leg crossed in front of the left leg and the front tip of their right shoe on the mat.

Rose walked back over to Lee Marshall.

Rose: "Sags and Knobs, good luck in topping that you two fat slobs."

LM: "OK, fans! Let's hear it by your vocal response! What do you think of Buddy Rose and Doug Somers?!"

Fair amount of cheers largely drowned out by boos. Rose and Somers were shocked by the reponse. They looked at the crowd in disbelief.

LM: "Buddy and Doug, that probably wasn't the type of response you were expecting. You seem shocked by it."

Rose: "Why are these fans allowed to vote on something like this?! It took Doug and I 15 minutes to put that routine together! And this is how you fans thank us?! You fans should not be allowed to vote or breed ever again!"

Rose and Somers went and stood on the apron.

LM: "And now...the Nasty Boys!"

'Fight For Your Right' played and Knobs and Sags backed up across the ring from one another. They then charged at each other and belly-butted one another. They then jumped in the air and butt-butted one another. They followed that up with a jumping, spinning high-five in mid-air and then Sags playfully bodyslammed Knobs, grabbed the downed Knobs by his ankles and spun Knobs around. The pair then closed out their routine with Knobs getting up, hoisting Sags up on his shoulders and walking around as the Nastys yelled 'Party! Party! Party!' at the top of their lungs as many in the crowd chanted along.

LM: "That was quite a display there, gentlemen. What was the inspiration for it?"

Knobs: "Sags and I were drinkin' beer the other night and were watching the ballet on that there PBS and that's where the inspiration for our routine came from."

LM: "OK, fans! It's time to do your duty again! What say you about the Nasty Boys?!"

Loud roar rose up from the crowd with very few boos. Rose and Somers were seething.

LM: "You fans have made it quite clear! The winner of the Tuxedo Challenge and the case of beer...the Nasty Boys!"

Crowd popped.

As the Nastys celebrated in the ring, Rose and Somers climbed into the ring and came up behind the Nastys. Rose smashed Knobs across the back with his cane and Somers smashed Sags across the back with his cane. Rose then nailed Knobs with some head shots, whipped Knobs into the ropes and caught Knobs coming off with a cane shot to the gut that doubled over Knobs and then broke the cane across Knobs' back and Knobs crashed down to the mat. Somers popped Sags with some punches, whipped Sags into the ropes and blasted Sags with a cane shot over the head that shattered the cane. Sags down as well.

An angry Rose and Somers looked out at the crowd briefly and then left the ring. They were prepared to head to he back when Rose said something to Somers. They went over and took the two cases of beer, theirs and the Nastys, off the timekeeper's table and headed back up the aisle as the fans booed.)

(Announcers discussed the Nasty Boys winning the Tuxedo Challenge and Rose and Somers laying them out after it was over and leaving the scene with the beer. Said Daphne is coming up!)

(Video aired from last week of Buzz Tyler winning his match and Ole Anderson coming to ringside and distracting Tyler and Lars Anderson sneaking in the ring and laying out Tyler with the Minnesota Wrecker (aka, Samoan Drop) and Lars and Ole preparing to injure Tyler's left arm until Arn Anderson and Buzz Sawyer made the save.)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson interviewed Buzz Tyler.

LN: "Buzz Tyler. Tonight, you're facing Lars Anderson. But it's obvious the Anderson brother you really want to face is Ole Anderson. What are your thoughts headed into the match this evening?"

Tyler: "I'll fight any Anderson whenever I can! Tonight, it's Lars Anderson! But soon, real soon, it will be Ole that I'm stepping in the ring with!"

Ole, in street clothes, walked into the picture.

Ole: "First off, somebody get President Watts, pronto! You know what Buzz?! I want our match to be real soon, too! And it can be a lot sooner than you think! I want to show the world, not just some crowd of a few thousand people in a smoke-filled arena in Georgia, that even though you're now an established star in your own right, I'm still the bigger star and better wrestler! I'm gonna make you think you were a rookie again when I toy with you and stretch you well beyond your pain threshold and make you scream for..."

Pres. Watts walked into the picture.

BW: "Ole, I was in a private meeting with some UWL officials when I got the message you wanted to see me. This better be good."

Ole: "I didn't request your presence for a good reason, Bill! I requested it for a great reason! And that reason is let's have the match, Ole Anderson vs. Buzz Tyler, this Sunday at 'Heatwave'!"

BW: "A showdown has been brewing between you two for months now! And it will happen at 'Heatwave'! Get ready to hook 'em up!"

Tyler: "Ole, you don't have to worry about me being there! I might even sleep overnight in the locker room at Jobing.com Arena just to make sure I'm there on time!"

Ole: "The question is will you get there in one piece after your match with Lars tonight?"

Ole turned and left the interview area as Tyler looked on.)

Match 2

Daphne vs. Roxxy

(Daphne came to the ring to sounds of her shreiking laughter and wild organ music. Her face was smeared with red and black paint. He hair was a mess. She was in her black and white body tight that had blood red splattering all over it. She was carrying her headless doll in her tattered dress with her. She received a fair amount of boos.

Daphne stepped into the ring and talked to her doll, cuddled it and then sat it underneath the bottom turnbuckle.

Roxxy gave Daphne a battle and came close to scoring the upset victory. But in the end, Daphne took control and finished off Roxxy with the Daff Knees (aka, Codebreaker). Daphne crawled on top of Roxxy and scored the 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell and raised Daphne's hand in victory.

Daphne then went over and grabbed her doll out of the corner and went over to the downed Roxxy and made like the doll was running up and down Roxxy's prone body. Daphne then got in Roxxy's face and said something and then beat Roxxy in the face with her doll.

WINNER: Daphne - Pinfall - Daff Knees - 2:48)

(Announcers intro'd video chronicling the Steve Williams-Greg valentine feud. Hyped Valentine vs. Williams for 'Heatwave' this Sunday.)

(Video aired for the 'UWL on Tour': Thu. - Aug. 22 - Buffalo, NY - Alumni Arena (Univ. of Buffalo); Fri. - Aug. 23 - Albany, NY - Washington Avenue Armory; Sat. - Aug. 24 - Uniondale, LI - Nassau Coliseum; Fri. - Sept. 13 - Sacramento, CA - Memorial Auditorium; Sat. - Sept. 14 - Irvine, CA - Bren Events Center; Fri. - Sept. 20 - Fort Collins, CO - Moby Arena; Sat. - Sept. 21 - Irvine, CA - Bren Events Center.

(Video aired from last week of the tag match pitting Rip Oliver (TVC) & Rick Steiner (PC) against Rick Rude and David Schultz (The Firm) where Schultz pinned Oliver with the Redneck Death Drop (aka, Scorpion death Drop) and then Oliver superkicking partner Steiner to the mat after the match.)

(In-ring: Lee Marshall interviewed TV Champ Rip Oliver.

Oliver came to the ring in street clothes to 'Bad To The Bone' by George Thorogood. He was booed. He had the title slung over his shoulder.

LM: "Rip, I have to ask why you superkicked your tag team partner Rick Steiner last week after the match?"

RO: "I superkicked Rick Steiner after the match because he cost us the match."

LM: "Cost you the match? How? I mean, he was fighting with Rick Rude on the floor and you were in the ring."

RO: "Steiner fighting on the floor distracted me. That brief distraction caused me to be pinned by David Schultz. Plus, Steiner should have been there to break up Schultz's pin attempt. That's unacceptable in my book. Steiner got what he deserved from me. I make no apologies for doing what I did. I hate Rick Steiner. I hated him going into the match and I hated him even more after the match. As a matter of fact I hate everybody. I hate these fans. I hate you. I hate the other wrestlers. But my hatred for them pales in comparison to my hatred of The Firm."

LM: "David Schultz has made noise about wanting a TV Title shot against you. Do you think him pinning you last week helped his cause in any way?"

RO: "If David Schultz wants a TV Title shot he can have one. I'm not afraid of that bastard. In a title match I wouldn't have to worry abut having some lame-ass partner to gum up the works for me..."

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

BW: "Rip, guess what? You're in luck. The UWL Championship Committee has decreed that since Schultz pinned you last week, that you will indeed be defending the TV Title at 'Heatwave' and it will be against David Schultz."

RO: "Let's get it on. I'm gonna knock Schultz's head off with my superkick this Sunday. Some lucky fan may be leaving the arena that night with a souvenir they never expected."

Schultz came out in street clothes with mic in hand. Mixed crowd reax.

DS: "I deserve that TV Title shot! Rip, boy, I showed everyone last week that I can beat you! You tried to superkick me then but it didn't work and I Redneck Death Dropped your ass to the mat to score the victory! And you say you hate The Firm more than anybody else! Well, you're gonna hate us even more after I relieve you of the TV Title at 'Heatwave'! And if anyone's body parts are gonna be flying into the crowd, they're gonne be yours!"

RO: "See you this Sunday, Schultz."

Long-distance staredown as the segment ended.)

(Announcers discussed Watts making the TV Title Match: Oliver (TVC) vs. Schultz for 'Heatwave'.)

(Announcers then intro'd a video re-cap chronicling the Lord Humongous & Missing Link (WTTC) vs. Hall and Nash of The Firm feud. Video aired. Announcers hyped the UWL World Tag Team Title Match: Lord Humongous & Missing Link (WTTC) vs. Hall & Nash (The Firm) at 'Heatwave'.)

(Announcers said Buzz Tyler vs. Lars Anderson was next!)

Match 3

Buzz Tyler vs. Lars Anderson (w/ Ole)

(Lars and Ole came to the ring to 'Al Var Alda' by Wardruna. Lars was in his ring gear and Ole was in his street clothes. Both had on their black satin ring jackets with the runes on the sleeves and the life rune on the back with the word 'Anderson' above it. They were strongly booed.

Tyler came to the ring to 'Flirtin' With Disaster' by Molly Hatchet. He got a good ovation. Tyler slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring.

Good, short match between these two. Ole never interfered. Tyler tried to lock Lars in the Kimura Lock during the match but Lars escaped the hold before Tyler could lock it in.

At the end of the match, Lars was on the offensive. Lars whipped Tyler into the ropes and caught Tyler coming off with a sitout side slam. Lars for the cover. 1...2... Tyler kicked out. Lars snapped Tyler up, whipped Tyler into the ropes and caught Tyler coming off with a boot to the gut. Lars then hoisted Tyler up across his shoulders in an attempt to hit Tyler with the Minnesota Wrecker but Tyler wriggled free, dropped to his feet behind Lars, maneuvered Lars around and took Lars down and locked Lars in the Kimura Lock. Lars quickly tapped out. Fans popped as the ref called for the bell.

WINNER: Tyler - Submission - Kimura Lock - 5:12)

(After the match: As the ref raised Tyler's hand in victory, Ole climbed into the ring. Tyler and Ole locked eyes. Crowd buzzing. Ole turned and demanded the r.a mic from Marshall.

Ole: "I'll take care of you this Sunday, Tyler!"

Ole tossed the mic and left the ring and joined the now one-armed Lars on the floor as Tyler looked on.)

(Announcers discussed Tyler beating Lars and then having a brief staredown with Ole as they head into their match at 'Heatwave' this Sunday. Then said something was going on backstage.)

(Backstage: Camera followed Pres. Watts as he walked down the hall with six UWL security members.

Watts came to the private dressing room of The Firm and opened the door and barged in. Nash and Schultz were sitting on the couch. Hall was standing and talking with Adonis. Rude and Bigelow were getting ready for their match and talking with DiBiase.

Hall: "Hey! What's this all about, man?!"

Adonis: "You knock before coming in here Watts!"

BW: "Shut up, Adrian! I want you guys to search every Firm member's bags for that black glove of DiBiase's. Also, look in that couch! Turn this dressing room over! Check the bathroom, too!"

Security started checking bags and Nash and Schultz got up from the couch.

TD: "Bill, you're not gonna find anything. This is a baseless witchhunt. I would say this is an illegal search."

BW: "When you're in an arena and on a UWL show, I'm the law, Ted!"

TD: "Wow! Sheriff Watts! This isn't Dodge City in the 1800's! But this is plain and simple harrassment!"

Watts got in DiBiase's face.

BW: "Let me tell you something! When we find that glove, and we will find it, if it is loaded in any way, shape or form, you could be looking at serious punishment! And remember, you use that glove in your World Title match against Roddy Piper at 'Heatwave', you'll be automatically disqualified and will never get another World Title shot!"

TD: "Understood, chief. But you won't find anything. And I'm gonna walk olut on 'Slam!' next Tuesday as the new UWL World Champion. Hahahaha!"

A fuming Watts turned and walked out of the picture as DiBiase looked on.)

(Announcers discussed Watts searching for DiBiase's black glove. Hyped still to come: 6-Man Tag: Roddy Piper (WC), Dusty Rhodes & DDP vs. Ted DiBiase, Bam Bam Bigelow & Rick Rude (The Firm); an interview with Wahoo McDaniel and JJ Dillon; the final 'Heatwave' PPV Update; and more. Said Arn Anderson vs. Greg Valentine was next!)

(Video aired from last week of Greg Valentine trying to re-injure Steve Williams' left ankle that he broke over three months ago and Arn Anderson making the save.)

Match 4

Greg Valentine (w/ mgr. Gary Hart) vs. Arn Anderson

(Arn came to the ring to 'The Fight' by Giorgio Morder. He got a strong ovation. Arn slapped hands with fans along the way.

Valentine and Hart came to the ring to 'All Along The Watchtower' by Jimi Hendrix. They were strongly booed.

Arn took the match early but Valentine was able to fight his way back into the match thanks to an outside distraction from Gary Hart. Match became a see-saw affair.

At the end of the match, Greg had taken control when he caught Arn with a low-flying dropkick to the left leg. Arn went down. Greg stomped away on Arn and then dragged Arn into the corner. Greg dropped to the floor and pulled Arn's legs out around the post and slammed Arn's left ankle into the post three times. Arn scooted back in the ring. Greg got back in and dropped a big elbow across Arn's chest. Greg then stretched out Arn's leg and violently stomped away on Arn's left ankle. Arn in a world of hurt. Crowd popped as Steve Williams, in his OU warm-up suit and walking with no noticeable effects to his left ankle, made his way to ringside. Greg noticed Williams. Greg grabbed Arn's left leg and looked right at Williams.

Greg was picked up on a mic:

GV: "Steve! This is for you, buddy!"

Greg started to apply the figure four when Arn suddenly reached up and caught Greg in a small package. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell as the crowd popped hard. Greg on his knees and in disbelief in the ring. A hobbled Arn, with the help of the ref, made it to his feet and the ref raised Arn's hand in victory. Valentine rose to his feet and was seething with rage at Williams. Arn made it out to the apron on his feet. He hobbled over to the steps and made his way to the floor next to a smiling Williams. Williams raised Arn's hand in victory which caused an even louder pop. Williams and Arn made it to the back. Arn made it under his own power though he was limping. Valentine was livid in the ring as Hart was now in with him and trying to calm Greg down.

WINNER: Arn - Pinfall - Small Package - 7:34)

(Announcers discussed Arn beating Greg and Williams coming to ringside during the end of the match. Hyped still to come: 6-Man Tag: Roddy Piper (WC), Dusty Rhodes & DDP vs. Ted DiBiase, Bam Bam Bigelow & Rick Rude (The Firm); the final 'Heatwave' PPV Update; and more. Said an interview with Wahoo McDaniel and JJ Dillon was coming up!)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson interviewed Pres. Watts.

LN: "President Watts, did you have any luck finding Ted DiBiase's black glove?"

BW: "Unfortunately, Larry, no. We did not find the glove. But, we are not giving up. It will be found and it will be examined."

LN: "Earlier, you mentioned that DiBiase could be facing stiff punishment if that glove is found to be loaded. Can you tell us what the punishment might be?"

BW: "No decision has been made yet on what kind of punishment DiBiase could be facing. That's all I have to say on that right now."

LN: "You also have two more matches to announce for 'Heatwave'?"

BW: "Yes. I have the final two matches to add to what is already a great-looking 'Heatwave' card. Last week, we saw Adrian Adonis of The Firm nail Ken Patera from behind with a crowbar. I have ordered that Patera and Adonis have a match this Sunday. And, after what we saw earlier in the Tuxedo Challenge between the Nasty Boys and Buddy Rose & Doug Somers, the two teams will square off at 'Heatwave' in a Tuxedo Tornado match! In a tornado match there are no tag outs! All four men will be going at it in that ring at the same time while dressed in tuxedos! Let's get ready to hook 'em up at 'Heatwave'!")

(Announcers discussed the final two matches added for 'Heatwave'. Hyped still to come: 6-Man Tag: Roddy Piper (WC), Dusty Rhodes & DDP vs. Ted DiBiase, Bam Bam Bigelow & Rick Rude (The Firm); the final 'Heatwave' PPV Update; and more. Sai an interview with Wahoo McDaniel and JJ Dillon was coming up!)

(Announcers intro'd video chronicling UWL WC Roddy Piper's recent battles with The Firm and his upcoming match for the title against Firm Director Ted DiBiase at 'Heatwave'. Video aired. Anns. hyped DiBiase vs. Piper for the UWL World Title at 'Heatwave'.)

(In-ring: Wahoo McDaniel and JJ Dillon promo.

Wahoo and JJ came to the ring to strong boos. JJ was in a suit and Wahoo was in street clothes. Both had mics.

Both got in the ring and JJ seemed...nervous.

JJ: "This Sunday, a major travesty of justice may occur. I may be locked in a cage with a wild animal named Harley Race. I am not happy about this at all. What have I done to Harley to deserve this? What did I do that was so wrong that I might be feloniously assaulted by a man with nothing but hateful rage in his heart. I made Harley Race in the UWL. And now, he wants to maim me. I guided him to multiple championships. And what might be my reward for doing all that for him? I might get torn apart by that ungrateful savage. This is..."

JJ started hyperventalating.

Wahoo: "JJ. You're not going to have to worry about Harley Race assaulting you in the cage at 'Heatwave'. It's not gonna happen because I'm not gonna let it happen! I am beating Harley Race this Sunday! He's losing to me and he will walk back to the dressing room a defeated man and in shame!"

JJ (almost in tears): "You promise?"

Wahoo: "JJ, when you signed me, I became the chosen one of JJ Dillon Enterprises! I'm not gonna let you down! Harley's going down in flames!"

JJ (relieved but cracking voice): "Thank you, Wahoo! Thank you! I know that you can get the job done and I won't fall into the clutches of that dastardly Harley Race!"

JJ placed his head on Wahoo's chest and Wahoo patted his head.

Wahoo: "Everything's gonna be all right, JJ."

Crowd popped as Race, in street clothes, came out and made his way to the ring. No hand slapping with the fans from Race. A scared JJ jumped behind Wahoo as Race climbed into the ring.

Wahoo: "Keep your distance from JJ, Harley!"

Race: "You don't have to worry about that, Wahoo. I'm saving putting my hands on JJ for after I beat you in the cage match this Sunday! Wahoo! I am going to beat you at 'Heatwave'! And after I beat you, JJ, it's gonna be just you and me in that cage for five minutes! Anything goes! And I promise that it will be the longest five minutes of your life!"

Crowd popped as Wahoo and Race locked eyes briefly and JJ was shaking behind Wahoo. Race then turned and left the ring and headed back up the aisle and did not acknowledge the fans but did stop and turn on the ramp and look back as Wahoo tried to calm the hysterical JJ down in the ring.)

(Announcers discussed the Wahoo vs. Harley cage match coming up at 'Heatwave' thos Sunday. Hyped still to come: 6-Man Tag: Roddy Piper (WC), Dusty Rhodes & DDP vs. Ted DiBiase, Bam Bam Bigelow & Rick Rude (The Firm). Said the final 'Heatwave' PPV Update was next!)

(Video aired from last week of DiBiase offering DDP a chance to join The Firm and DDP rejecting the offer by kicking DiBiase in the gut and going to nail him with the Diamond Cutter until DDP was grabbed by members of The Firm. Firm members were stunned when DiBiase ordered that DDP be let go and let DDP leave the ring. DDP left as Firm-ites wondered what was going on.)

Match 5

Roddy Piper (WC), Dusty Rhodes and DDP vs. Ted DiBiase, Bam Bam Bigelow & Rick Rude (The Firm)

('Money played over the p.a system and out ame DiBiase, Rude and Bigelow. No other mmbers of The Firm were with them. They received a mixed crowd reax.

After a brief pause, bagpipe music filled the arena and out came UWL WC Roddy Piper, Dusty Rhodes and DDP to a strong ovation. Piper had the title on around his waist. They slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring.

The two teams were in the ring preparing to do battle when Pres. Watts came to the ring. He had a mic. Watts got in the ring.

BW: "Before this match starts, ref, pat down Ted DiBiase."

DiBiase shook his head in disbelief. The ref patted down DiBiase and turned and gestured he found nothing on Ted.

BW: "You didn't check the inside of his knee pads. Do it."

Ref did as told and on the check of the right knee pad, lo and behold, the ref pulled out the elusive fingerless black glove. DiBiase was poker faced as he looked at Watts. Watts gestured for the ref to give him the glove and the ref complied. Bigelow and Rude started talking with DiBiase. DiBiase was very cool in the conversation.

BW: "Ted, you'd better hope this glove isn't loaded."

Ted just looked at Watts as Watts put the glove in his right outside jacket pocket and left the ring and headed to the back.

Match was a donnybrook from the opening bell. During the match, fans were teased with brief action between Piper and DiBiase as well as Rhodes battling Bigelow. It was back-and-forth during the brief encounters. Some near falls broken up by outside parties and The Firm wrestlers took a few shortcuts during the match for advantage-gaining purposes.

At the end of the match, DDP and Rude were the legal men in the ring. Rude blasted DDP with a pendulum backbreaker. Rude then mounted the middle buckle and came off with a knee drop attempt to the head but DDP rolled out of the way and Rude crashed knee-first to the mat. Both men down. Bigelow hit the ring and Dusty charged in and cut off Bigelow with a right to the jaw and a series of bionic elbows to the top of the head that drove Bigelow into the corner. DDP and Rude made it to their feet and Rude moved in on DDP and DDP stunned Rude with a kick to the gut and blasted Rude with the Diamond Cutter. DiBiase hit the ring and Piper cut off DiBiase by leveling his challenger on Sunday with a spear. DiBiase crashed to the mat. Crowd nearly blew the roof off the building. DDP covered Rude and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell as the fans cheered. Bigelow dazed in the corner. DDP got to his feet and was ecstatic as he finally broke his losing streak against The Firm. Ref raised DDP's hand in victory. The three celebrated in the ring.

On the floor, as Lee Marshall went to hand the World Title belt to the ref to give to Piper, DiBiase, , now on his feet on the floor, grabbed the belt and r.a mic form Marshall. DiBiase looked up at Piper in the ring.

TD (breathing heavy from the effects of the spear): "Piper! You may have won tonight! But this Sunday...(heavy breathing)....Sunday this belt is mine!"

Piper looking on from the ring as DiBiase tossed the belt through the ropes and it landed at Piper's feet. Piper picked up the belt and he and DiBiase had their eyes locked on each other as the program faded to black.

WINNER: Team Piper - Pinfall - DDP pinned Rude with the Diamond Cutter - 12:19)

(Wahoo and JJ made their way to the ring to strong boos. JJ was in his red and blue tights, black ring boots and a warm-up jacket. When they got to ringside, JJ and Wahoo had a brief talk and JJ hugged Wahoo and was pleading with Wahoo to win the match. Wahoo climbed into the cage.

Music-only version of 'Turn The Page' played and Race came to the ring to a strong ovation. Race, as usual, did not slap hands with fans. Race got to the foot of the ring steps leading to the cage door and turned and looked at JJ, who was on the same side of the cage and a few feet away. JJ started to back off as Race glared at him. Race then made his way up the steps. As Race stepped through the ropes, Wahoo attacked Race.

Ref called for the bell to start the match.

Wahoo pounded on Race with some forearms and fists and then blistered Race with a series of chest chops. Wahoo whipped Race into the buckles and moved in with more chops. Wahoo whipped Race into the opposite corner and went to nail Race with a running big splash but Race moved and Wahoo slammed front-first into the buckles.

Race whipped Wahoo into the ropes and caught Wahoo coming off with a clothesline. Race for the cover. 1...2... Wahoo kicked out. Race got up and grabbed Wahoo in a front facelock and Wahoo countered by driving Race hard, back-first into the buckles. Race let go of the facelock. Wahoo drove a knee into Race's gut and pulled Race out of the corner by the hair. Wahoo choked Race on the top rope and broke the illegal move at the count of four. Race turned around and was blistered by another set of arena-echoing chops. Wahoo grabbed Race by the hair again and sent Race flying head-first into the unforgiving steel cage. Race went down in the ring. JJ urging on Wahoo from ringside. Wahoo pulled Race up and threw Race head-first into another side of the cage. Race down again. Wahoo looked out at the fans as they booed him and then he had words with the ref. Wahoo went over and stomped on the back of Race's head. Wahoo pulled Race up. Race now bleeding. Wahoo then walked Race over to the cage and violently rubbed Race's head into the mesh. Race went down to a knee. Wahoo nailed Race in the head with some punches and then whipped Race into the buckles. Wahoo again charged at Race and this time connected with his running big splash. Race staggered out of the corner, spun around and crashed to his back on the mat. Wahoo for the cover and hooked the leg. 1...2... Race kicked out. JJ beside himself on the floor.

Race then grabbed Wahoo and went to piledrive Wahoo but Wahoo twice blocked the move and backdropped Race to the mat. Both men now really wearing the crimson mask sponsored by Macy's. Race down and Wahoo on his knees. JJ pleading with Wahoo to get up. Both men made it to their feet. Wahoo nailed Race with a chop. Race fired back with a punch. A punch-chop exchange then ensued until Race gained the upper hand when he stunned Wahoo with a headbutt. Race went to whip Wahoo into the ropes but Wahoo reversed and caught Race comng off with his big chop finisher. Race crashed to the mat. JJ yelling for Wahoo to pin Race. Wahoo covered Race and hooked the leg. 1...2...2-3/4... Race got a shoulder up. JJ in disbelief at ringside. Wahoo snapped up Race and whipped Race into the ropes and looked to catch Race coming off with a clothesline but Race ducked the move and came back and both men clotheslined each other to the canvas. Both men down and the ref was counting. Wahoo stirred and made it to his feet first and went out on the apron and started to climb to the top buckle. Wahoo, feeling the effects of the match, was slow in climbing. What he didn't realize was that Race had recovered enough as well and Race started to climb the ropes. Wahoo got to the top buckle and Race made it to the top rope. Race moved towards Wahoo and Wahoo went to hit Race with a chop to the head but Race got his arm up and deflected the blow.

WINNER: Race - Pinfall - Piledriver - 11:48)

(After the match: Race looked down at JJ on the floor. JJ scared to death and not wanting to get in the cage. Race gestured for JJ to get in and take his beating. A bloody, battered Wahoo crawled over by the ropes by the cage door and didn't seem to know where he was. JJ begging Wahoo to stay in the ring but Wahoo wasn't paying too much attention. As Wahoo got up next to the ropes he was doubled over and Race hastened his exit from the cage by driving a knee into the side of Wahoo's ribs. Wahoo topppled out of the cage to the floor and was still dazed. As Wahoo sat up, JJ stood in front of Wahoo and had his back to the cage. JJ started shaking Wahoo and screaming for Wahoo to regain his senses and protect his manager. Race got tired of waiting and went down to the floor and grabbed JJ from behind by the hair. Race walked JJ up the steps and pulled JJ into the cage. The door was shut and locked behind them. They were now the only two left in the ring...)

(Race gets 5 minutes with JJ alone!

Race let go of JJ's hair. JJ looked at Race. Race pointed at his jaw and dared JJ to hit him. JJ was nervous. Race then yelled for JJ to hit him. JJ, though uneasy, hit Race with a right to the jaw. The punch jolted Race a little bit. Race then told JJ to hit him again. JJ did it once more and Race was jolted yet again. JJ then got cocky. JJ punched Race in the face again and then ran and hit the ropes and looked to nail Race with another punch which Race blocked. Race punched JJ in the face and then grabbed JJ by both sides of the head and plastered JJ with a series of brutal headbutts. JJ on wobbly legs and only on his feet because Race was holding him up by the hair. Race then proceeded to take JJ and throw him head-first into all four sides of the cage. JJ crashed to the mat after the fourth head shot into the cage. Race looked out at the cheering crowd. Race then pulled the now bloody JJ up by the hair and violently rubbed JJ's head into the cage. Race let go of JJ and JJ staggered around in the ring for a moment before trying to make a break for it by climbing the ropes and then trying to leave the cage. Race climbed up behind JJ, grabbed JJ by the back of the tights and yanked JJ down to the mat. JJ was a beaten man. JJ got to his knees and tried to beg off and even extended his hand to shake hands with Race. Race looked to the crowd and then back at JJ. JJ mouthed the word: 'Please!' Race then extended his hand and grabbed JJ's hand and pulled JJ to his feet and shook JJ's hand. JJ seemed to almost have tears in his eyes as he was heard to say: 'Thank you!' But, too bad for JJ. Race didn't let go of the handshake and instead whipped JJ into the ropes and caught JJ coming off with a belly-to-belly suplex. JJ all but dead now. Wahoo had recovered to a large degree and was standing on the floor. Race looked at Wahoo and then grabbed JJ and hoisted JJ in the air for the pileriver. Race turned in Wahoo's direction, held JJ for a moment and then blasted his former manager with a vicious piledriver. JJ now down and convulsing on the mat. Race looked down at JJ and then ordered the cage door to be open. Race walked out of the cage and down the steps to the floor. Race and Wahoo looked at each other for a brief moment but there was no fight left in Wahoo. Race then turned and headed back up the aisle as the fans cheered the victor. Wahoo climbed into the cage to check on his manager. Race got to the top of the entrance stage, turned to the crowd and raised his right arm victoriously in the air as the fans cheered him.

(After the match: As a sore Madusa was celebrating in the ring by holding up the title up for all the fans to see, crazy Daphne, dressed in a torn up Catholic schoolgirl outfit and black knee-high socks and black sneakers and carrying her headless doll, charged into the ring and came up behind Madusa and bashed the champ across the back of the head with the doll.

(Announcers discussed Adonis beating Patera thanks to outside help from a masked mystery man. Said The Firm was now 5-0 overall in their matches on the show and 3-0 in title matches.

Pedicino: "Steve, The Firm has had their way with the UWL tonight. Even though they've taken some shortcuts and broken several rules to get some of those wins, the fact is they still count as wins in the record books. They've won the TV Title, President's Championship and World Tag Team Titles already this evening. Now their leader, Director Ted DiBiase, has a chance to win the biggest title of them all in our sport, the UWL World Title.

"One of The Firm's goals since they arrived in the UWL was to win every male championship in the company. They now own three of them. They don't own the biggest one right now. But if DiBiase wins tonight...I shudder to think what that means for the UWL in their war with The Firm."

Stack: "Joe, I think it's fair to say that the match coming up is the biggest in the history of the UWL to date. It has been The Firm's night. 'Heatwave' has belonged to them so far. The good news for the UWL side is that World Champion Roddy Piper has been on a roll lately in title defenses against members of The Firm. Personally, I feel very confident that Piper's successful run will continue in this match-up with Ted DiBiase. This is the belt The Firm wants more than any other. If Piper can keep it out of their hands then it's a great victory for the UWL as a whole. But like you, I fear that a DiBiase win could have serious, dire consequences for the UWL."

They then sent it to the back.)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson interviewed Pres. Watts.

LN: "President Watts, the first thing I want to ask about is that black glove seized from Ted DiBiase on 'Slam!' last week. Have you gotten the results back on the testing of that glove?"

BW: "Larry, we will have the results back on the glove in time for 'Slam!' this Tuesday. And, no matter what the results are, they will be anounced on the program."

LN: "What if it turns out the glove is loaded with something?"

BW: "If it turns out that glove that DiBiase has used as a weapon in some of his matches is loaded with something that is illegal, we will take swift and decisive action on the issue. That's all I can say about that right now."

LN: "As we've seen, The Firm is a perfect 5-0 in their matches tonight. They've won the other three male championships and now have a chance to win the UWL World Title. What if Ted DiBiase becomes the World Champion tonight?"

BW: "The Firm has made no secret of their plans here. They want that World Title and they want it badly because of the power it would bring them. I, like most everybody else, am hoping that Roddy Piper can retain the title. But if he doesn't then we'll have to deal with it and see how things play out moving forward."

LN: "Thank you for your time, Presiddent Watts."

BW: "Thank you.")

Piper got up and nailed DiBiase with another series of boxing-style punches and then repaid DiBiase for the earlier eye poke with a poke to both of DiBiase's eyes. DiBiase spun around and Piper ran DiBiase into the ropes and rolled up DiBiase. Piper, channeling his heel days, grabbed a handful of DiBiase's tights as he went for the pin. 1...2... DiBiase now kicked Piper off. Piper got up facing away from DiBiase and DiBiase caught Piper from behind and nailed Piper with the Dream Street (aka, cobra clutch slam). DiBiase again went for the cover and hooked the leg. 1...2... Piper kicked out. DiBiase got up and grabbed Piper in a side headlock. Piper maneuvered DiBiase into the ropes and shoved DiBiase off and DiBiase hit the opposite ropes and came off and Piper dropped him with a clothesline. DiBiase got up and Piper moved in and took DiBiase down with a legdive takedown and locked DiBiase in his own hold, the STF. Crowd popped big-time as DiBiase was fighting not to submit. DiBiase fought to get close to the ropes. DiBiase raised his hand to tap out on a couple of occasions but wouldn't give up. DiBiase finally made it close enough to the ropes and got his hand on the bottom rope to force a break in the hold. Piper backed up as DiBiase slowly made it to his feet. When DiBiase got up...WHAM!...Piper nailed DiBiase with the spear. Crowd nearly blew the roof off the building. Piper covered DiBiase for the pin. Crowd on its feet. 1...2... OH NO! DiBiase got his foot on the bottom rope at the count of two and the ref caught it. Crowd on a roller coaster ride. Piper pulled DiBiase up and whipped DiBiase into the ropes and looked to catch DiBiase coming off with a dropkick but DiBiase grabbed the top rope and held on and Piper crashed to the mat. Both men slow in moving as the match had taken a lot out of them. DiBiase nailed Piper with a kick to the gut as Piper got up and then snap suplexed Piper and maneuvered him into position for a turnbuckle move. DiBiase stomped on Piper a few times to keep him in place. DiBiase went out on the apron and mounted the top buckle and came off with a glove-less black fist drop that connected. DiBiase covered Piper and hooked the leg. 1...2...2-7/8... Piper kicked out. Piper fans popped. DiBiase kicked Piper in the side of the ribs as Piper got to his hands and knees. Dibiase snapped Piper and went to whip Piper into the ropes but Piper reversed and caught DiBiase coming off with a clothesline. DiBiase got to his feet and Piper moved in behind him and locked Dibiase into the sleeper hold.

DiBiase fighting to get out of the hold. DiBiase maneuvered around and went to ram Piper back-first into the buckles. Piper crashed into the ref who crashed into the buckles. Ref went down. Piper lost his grip on the hold. DiBiase nailed Piper with some punches and whipped Piper into the buckles. DiBiase charged in and Piper stunned DiBiase with a boot to the face. DiBiase staggered backwards and Piper came out of the corner and blasted DiBiase with a series of head and body boxing-style punches. Piper then ran and hit the ropes behind the dazed DiBiase and came off and blasted DiBiase with the facebuster. Crowd up and roaring. Piper then locked DiBiase into the ankle lock. DiBiase was in a world of trouble. DiBiase tried to make it to the ropes but Piper dragged him back to the center of the ring. DiBiase furiously tapped out. Problem was there was no ref as he was still down in the corner. Adrian Adonis came out and made his way to the ring. Piper still had the ankle lock locked in on DiBiase. Adonis climbed into the ring and was preparing to sneak attack Piper from behind when the crowd popped as DDP charged down to the ring. DDP got in the ring just as Adonis laid a hand on Piper. Just as Piper let go of the hold on DiBiase, DDP spun Adonis around and blasted him with the Diamond Cutter. Crowd going insane. Adonis rolled out on the apron. DDP made the Diamond sign. Piper then briefly spoke to DDP and gestured for DDP to help the ref regain his bearings. DiBiase was still down and hurting. DDP turned in the direction of the ref. As Piper turned back to re-apply the ankle lock, DDP turned back around, spun Piper around and blasted Piper with a Diamond Cutter. Crowd in shock. DDP briefly looked down at Piper as DiBiase made it to his feet with the aid of the ropes. DiBiase gestured for DDP to help the ref snap back to his senses and this time DDP obliged. The stunned Piper started getting to his feet and DiBiase moved in behind Piper and grabbed him in the full nelson and blasted Piper with the Billionaire Blaster (aka, Skull Crushing Finale). DDP had smacked the ref in the face a few times and dragged him over to wear DiBiase had just covered Piper and hooked the leg. DDP dropped to the floor. Ref counted. 1....2....3! Many in the crowd erupted in cheers as the still-somewhat shaken up ref called for the bell.

Ref went over by the ropes and took the World Title from Capetta and then had a few words for Capetta.

DiBiase on his feet. Ref handed DiBiase the title and raised his hand in victory as DDP and the now recovered Adonis jumped in the ring to celebrate with the new World Champ. Hall, Nash, Schultz and Rude came to the ring with their newly won titles and Bam Bam Bigelow was with them. They all got in the ring and celebrated.

Capetta: "Wrestling fans! In a time of 21 minutes, 19 seconds, your winner...and NEW UWL World Champion...Ted DiBiase!"

Strong mixture of cheers and boos. Piper had rolled out onto the apron and gotten to his feet when DDP came over and sucker punched Piper and then snapped Piper's throat across the top rope. Piper crashed to the floor.

In the ring, in a picture of championship glory, Hall and Nash stood on one side, DiBiase in the middle and Schultz and Rude on the other side, and all raised their championships high in the air.

Ann. Stack: "Darkness has fallen on the UWL."

WINNER: DiBiase - Pinfall - Billionaire Blaster - 21:19)

(Video re-cap of the show aired to the song 'Smooth Criminal' by Alien Ant Farm and the video ended with a still shot of DiBiase holding the World Title aloft as the words from the song: 'You've been struck by a smooth criminal!' echoed as the program faded to black.)

UWL 'SLAM!' WRESTLING - EP. 135 - TUCSON, AZ - TUCSON ARENA - 8-20-13 (Live)

(Show opened with pics from matches at the 'Heatwave' PPV. Pictures mainly focused on The Firm winning all four male championships and going 6-0 in their matches on the show.)

(Crowd Shots/Pyro)

(In-ring: The Firm promo.

'Money' played over the p.a. system and out came all eight Firm members, including the newest one, DDP. They were all in street clothes except for Ted DiBiase, who was in a suit. They came to the ring to a mixed crowd reax.

DiBiase had the the World Title slung over his shoulder. Rude had the President's Championship slung over his shoulder; Schultz had the TV Title slung over his shoulder; and Hall and Nash had the tag belts slung over their respective shoulders.

Once in the ring, Adrian Aodnis, Bam Bam Bigelow and DDP applauded the new champions. The champs assembled in a line in the middle of the ring. DiBiase was in the middle, Hall and Nash to the left of Dibiase and Schultz and Rude to the right of DiBiase. The champs flanking DiBiase all raised their belts in the air with their left hands. DiBiase raised the World Title with both hands. More applause from the other Firm members. Each Firm member had a mic.

Nash: "Sunday night at 'Heatwave' marked a decisive turning point in our war with the UWL! This was the UWL's Stalingrad! The UWL is now on the defensive! The Firm has all the company's male championships! And it's only a matter of time before the UWL side crumbles and The Firm takes control of the promotion!"

Hall: "Man! I should have worn sunglasses out here tonight! All this shiny gold is blinding me! You guys on the UWL roster...don't feel bad! You've put up a helluva fight over the last 2-1/2 years against us! The Firm has had its setbacks! But when you're the best you always bounce back! And we've bounced back time and time again! Now, we have all the gold! There's just one final step to take! There's no shame in losing to The Firm, yo! But we will make sure to shame all of you UWL paeans into submission when we're running the show around here!"

Schultz: "Rip Oliver! Boy! You showed me why you're a tough son-of-a-bitch in the ring at 'Heatwave'! But, I'm a tougher SOB than you and that's why I'm the new UWL TV Champion! It's great to be a part of the best! The best in anything is the elite in anything! And The Firm is the elite in this sport today! And we're gonna be even better tomorrow!"

Adonis: "The Firm went 6-0 at 'Heatwave'. We were perfect. And I just want to say that I'm proud that I did my part to help achieve that perfect record by beating the first-ever FORMER member of The Firm in one Ken Patera! Ken, losing to me couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy than you! Savor the defeat, you loser!"

Rude: "I think we're gonna need a wheel barrow to start carting all these heavy championship belts to the ring! What a great feeling it was for the 'Ravishing One' to defeat that moron Rick Steiner and become the new President's Champion two days ago! Rick Steiner was a disgrace to this belt! He didn't deserve it! He has the intelligence of a rock...no offense to rocks! If you didn't believe in The Firm and our mission heading into 'Heatwave' then you'd better start believing in it now, because soon we're gonna be running this place!"

Bigelow: "There were a lot of tears shed in trailer parks all across America Sunday night when I beat the trashy class's hero in Dusty Rhodes! I was hired by Ted DiBiase to be the garbageman of The Firm! That means I take out the UWL trash! And I couldn't think of a better piece of trash to start with than Dusty Rhodes! Dusty, you failed The Firm! And at 'Heatwave' you simpy failed! Our match was truly one of steaming locomotives colliding on the tracks! After the collision, as you can see, Locomotive Bam Bam was the one who emerged from the wreckage the victor! But, Dusty! If you ever want another match with the Bammer then I'll be more than happy to sign on the dotted line and take you out and deposit you in the filthy, stinkin' trash dump where trash like you truly belongs!"

DDP stepped forward and got a mixed crowd reaction.

DDP: "Before I speak my peace, I've got some pictures I want to show all of you."

Pics aired on the JumboTron showing DDP entering the ring at 'Heatwave' during the World Title match and Diamond Cutting Adrian Adonis giving Roddy Piper a false sense of security and then DDP double-crossed Piper by Diamond Cutting him and helping Ted DiBiase become the new UWL World Champion.

DDP: "Until a few days ago, I never thought I would do that to Roddy Piper. There's still a part of me that doesn't believe that I did it. It was almost an out of body experience for me. But, I did it. I did it for one reason. I want to be on the winning team when this war is over. And The Firm will be the winning team.

"You see, I've seen what goes on backstage for over two years now. The UWL can do its best to try and put on a unified face; but it will never work for them. Why? Because the UWL wrestlers are divided into cliques, that's why. The trust factor is just not there. Too many guys over there have their own individual agendas. It's all about 'me, me' me.' With The Firm it's all about 'we'. The Firm, as you can see, is solidly united. These guys came into the UWL with a plan and they've stuck to it since day one. Winners work together for greater goals. Losers look out only for themselves or their own little group of friends at the expense of others. Don't turn your back on the UWL wrestlers. They may just be waiting to stick a knife in it. Those UWL guys get together to discuss how they're gonna combat The Firm; but they usually can't even decide what to order for lunch.

"Roddy Piper. I'm not sorry for what I did. I now realize that there will be serious heat between you and me. But that's the cost of doing business. I'm prepared for war with you, Piper. And I couldn't ask for a better group of men to go into battle with. Roddy, you're gonna wind up on the losing side of history in this war. And I'm going to do what I can to take down the top star of the UWL. You're gonna fall and fall hard, my man. No mercy. None.

"Two days before 'Heatwave', I got a call from Firm Director Ted DiBiase. When I heard his voice on the other end of the line I was prepared to hang up. But he asked me to hear him out. I'm glad I did. Unlike the UWL side which is in disarray, Ted laid out the plans of The Firm. Oh, they are grandiose. But they are attainable. You just need a strong leader with a vision and devoted supporters who share in that vision. That's what The Firm is all about, man. I had rejected his offer to join once before. But when you listen to this man, you see that he has got his act together. I like winning. I like winners. That's why I'm with the elite now. I'm one of the few, the proud...The Firm!

"It is now my deepest honor to introduce to you the man who will one day change professional wrestling forever! He is the reigning UWL World Champion! I give you...Ted DiBiase!"

DDP raised DiBiase's hand in the air and the two then embraced. DiBiase then briefly soaked in the mixed crowd reaction.

TD: "All The Firm's hard work has finally paid off handsomely. What happened at 'Heatwave' was the tipping point in this war. The UWL side is now left scrambling in a desperate attempt to try and thwart their ultimate defeat. But they can't stop us now. It's only a matter of time before victory is complete for us. Oh, the UWL wrestlers will continue to fight on. But their efforts will be futile to turn things around. They are now just trying to hold off the inevitable. A terrible day of reckoning is coming for the UWL. When The Firm takes over they will be taking their marching orders from us. If they refuse to follow our orders then their careers will be ruined.

"Sunday was more than just four wrestlers winning titles; it was the beginning of the changing of the guard around here. All these titles we now possess mean power. Great power. We are not letting them go. And the title that rests on my shoulder has the most power of all. It is the premiere title in pro wrestling! We now hold all the cards! People have to play ball with us! And when The Firm plays ball it plays hardball!

"Roddy Piper, you had a great run as the UWL World Champion! But it's over now! Over for good! But, when we complete our takeover of the UWL, Roddy, I have special plans just for you! I'm gonna tear down your hero, people! The UWL's top star will be reduced to rubble when we get through with him! You fans are gonna be ashamed you ever supported Roddy Piper! Everything he's worked for in his career will be destroyed at my hands! His will be at our mercy! Speaking of mercy, Roddy Piper will be shown none when the time comes! Roddy Piper will be the message sent by The Firm when we take over the UWL that you will do what we tell you to do or you could be the next Roddy Piper!

"And one final thing. UWL owner KD Smith. KD, I know you're watching this. Whatever you're drinking right now you'd better make it a triple. Just like you, KD, I've got lots and lots of money. My crack legal team is preparing an offer as we speak. That offer is for me to purchase the UWL lock, stock and barrel. Just think, KD, it will be a bloodless coup. Just take my money and vanish and let The Firm reign supreme over the UWL. Make it easy on yourself. Do the right thing. Because if you don't, KD, I promise you a hostile takeover that will leave a lot of battered bodies in our wake! Don't put your employees through that kind of torture! KD, if you care about the people who work for you, then you will make the right decision and accept my generous financial offer and walk off into the sunset!"

Just as The Firm was preparing to leave the ring, 'Born In The USA' played over the p.a. system and out came Pres. Watts to the ring. He had a mic and was in a suit. He received a modest ovation. Watts didn't slap hands with fans.

Watts got in the ring.

TD: "What are you doing out here, Watts?"

BW: "I have a few things to say, Ted. First, please take a look at the JumboTron."

Pics aired from the Adonis-Patera match at 'Heatwave' where a man dressed in a black mask, bulky sweat shirt and sweat pants and black tennis shoes came down to ringside and tossed a crowbar to Adonis in the ring and Adonis used it to hit Patera and score the victory. The mystery man fled the scene after tossing the crowbar into the ring.

BW: "Was that Dallas Page under that mask, Ted?"

TD: "Nope. Not Dallas Page. Sorry to disappoint you."

BW: "Have you signed a new member of The Firm?"

TD (shrugs): "Maybe."

BW: "I'm guesssing that's the only answer that we'll be getting from you on this matter?"

TD: "I wouldn't say that. He may already be here."

BW: "Are you implying that this possible new Firm member might be wrestling for the UWL right now?"

TD: "I didn't say that. If they are a new Firm member you, like everyone else, will find out when the time comes to reveal their identity."

BW: "Also, the black glove we took off of you last week was examined and the results showed there was nothing illegal in it. But I didn't just fall off the turnip truck, Ted. I think you may have had a dummy glove on you last week in an effort to throw us off. I will find the real glove, Ted, and you will pay dearly for using it."

TD: "You found what you found, Bill. My innocence has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt as far as I'm concerned. The evidence exonorated you had exonerated me."

BW: "The 'evidence I had'. Doesn't mean it was the real evidence, now does it?"

TD (smirking): "Is there anything else?"

BW: "Yep. Ted, as you know, when a champion loses their title they have a re-match clause that can be triggered at any time in their contract."

TD: "I knew Piper would demand a re-match. He can have it anytime he wants it. It's not going to do him any good."

BW: "FYI, Piper's already triggered the re-match clause. The match is already set to take place."

TD: "When will it be? Next week? A month from now? Maybe at 'Helloween'?"

BW: "None of the above, Ted. Your UWL World Title re-match with Roddy Piper takes place...TONIGHT!!!"

Crowd erupted at the news.

TD: "Whoa! Tonight was supposed to be a night of celebration for The Firm and what we accomplished at 'Heatwave'! None of us expected to wrestle this evening...especially me! This is an outrage!"

BW: "Let me drive home a point as strongly as I can, Ted! As of August 20, 2013, KD Smith still owns the UWL and I'm the President of this company! You don't control the UWL and, God willing, you never will! So, you're defending that title tonight right here on 'Slam!' against Roddy Piper! Get ready to hook 'em up!"

Watts turned and left the ring as his music played and fans werre buzzing as a flustered DiBiase talked with fellow Firm-ites in the ring.)

(Announcers Steve Stack and Joe Pedicino welcomed viewers and discussed Pres. Watts making the UWL World Title Re-match: Ted DiBiase (WC) (The Firm) vs. Roddy Piper. Hyped also for the program: Steve Williams vs. 'Superstar' Graham; an interview with Ole Anderson; Ken Patera & Arn Anderson vs. Buddy Rose & Doug Somers; an interview with Dusty Rhodes; the debut of a wrestler named 'Choo-Choo' Sawyer; an interview with Daphne; and more!)

Match 1

Lex Luger vs. Grog (w/ Father Dutch & The Sacred Anvil)

(Gregorian chants filled the arena as Grog, Father Dutch and Sacred Anvil made their way to the ring to boos. Grog was in his silver and black mask with the black cross above the eyes, black leg-length tights with silver crosses on the outside of each leg and heavy black boots. Father Dutch was in his normal priest's attire and the Sacred Anvil was in his Mormon missionary-style attire.

As the unholy trio made their way to the ring, pics aired from 'Heatwave' of Lord Humongous and Missing Link coming to ringside and running Grog and Sacred Anvil off during the match between Father Dutch and Koko B. Ware; and then later in the show Grog and Sacred Anvil interfering in the World Tag Team Title match and costing Lord and Link the tag titles.

'Winner Takes It All' by Sammy Hagar played and Luger came to the ring to a decent ovation. He slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring.

Once in the ring, Luger took the r.a. mic from Lee Marshall.

Lex: "I knew that Grog wouldn't be out here by himself. So, to make sure this match remains one-on-one, I've got my own back-up. Come on out, boys!"

Crowd erupted as 'Breaking The Law' played and Lord Humongous and Missing Link came to ringside.

Lord and Link kept Father Dutch and Sacred Anvil at bay for most of the match. As the match progressed, Grog has tossed Luger out of the ring to the floor. Grog and Father Dutch distracted the ref as Luger got up on all fours on the floor. Anvil went over to kick Lex in the ribs but Link came flying over and jumped over Lex and blasted Anvil with a flying headbutt. Anvil crashed to the floor as the crowd went nuts. Luger was able to make his way back into the ring. Grog took control of the match.

At the end of the match, Grog had worked over Luger and caught Luger with his pumphandle slam finisher. Grog for the cover. 1...2...2-1/2... Luger kicked out. Grog snapped Luger up and went to whip Luger into the ropes but Luger reversed and caught Grog coming off with a powerslam. Luger got up and gestured it was time for the rack. As Luger started to hoist Grog up in the rack, Sacred Anvil distracted the ref from the floor. Luger had Grog in the rack. With the ref distracted, Father Dutch brandished his small chain from his pants pocket and wrapped it around his fist and climbed into the ring. Lord hit the ring and Father Dutch bailed to the floor before he could inflict any damage on Luger. Lord followed Father Dutch to the floor and Anvil came over to Father Dutch's side and Link made his way over and there was a stand-off on the floor as the ref turned his attention back to the match. Grog submitted quickly. Ref called for the bell as Luger dropped Grog to the mat. Ref raised Luger's hand in victory and Luger left the ring and met up near the entrance aisle with Lord and Link and the trio made their way back up the aisle as fans cheered for them.

WINNER: Luger- Submission - Torture Rack - 5:07)

(Announcers discussed Luger beating Grog and Lord and Link acting as Luger's back-up during the match. Hyped still to come: UWL World Title Re-match: Ted DiBiase (WC) (The Firm) vs. Roddy Piper; Steve Williams vs. 'Superstar' Graham; an interview with Ole Anderson; Ken Patera & Arn Anderson vs. Buddy Rose & Doug Somers; an interview with Dusty Rhodes; the debut of a wrestler named 'Choo-Choo' Sawyer; an interview with Daphne; and more!

(Video aired for the 'Sun Maid Prunes Presents: Helloween' - Sunday - October 13 - Duluth, GA - Arena at Gwinnett Center - 8pm E/5pm P - Tickets on sale Saturday, August 31 @ 10am EST!)

(Pics aired from 'Heatwave' of Daphne coming to the ring after Madusa had retained the UWL Women's World Title against Awesome Kong and Daphne laying out Madusa with the Daff Knees (aka, Codebreaker).)

(In-ring: Lee Marshall interviewed Daphne.

Wild shrieks of laughter accompanied by crazy organ music played as Daphne made her way to the ring to a fair amount of boos.

Daphne was wearing a torn up and dirty wedding dress, old-fashioned black ankle-high boots and white stockings with holes in them. Her face was smeared with black and white paint and her hair was a mess. She was also wearing a small top hat on the top of her head.

She was carrying her headless baby doll and the doll was wearing a tattered dress of her own and was missing one of her little black shoes.

Daphne got in the ring and was cuddling the doll.

LM: "Daphne, why the attack on Madusa at 'Heatwave' on Sunday?"

Daphne: "I attacked Madusa because I felt like it! I did it because I could!"

LM: "So there was no real rhyme or reason for the attack then?"

Daphne: "I just told you the reason! The voices told me to attack Madusa and I did!"

LM: "Voices?!"

Daphne: "The voices in my head! I have little people running around, not in my mind...but on my mind!"

LM: "O.............K..............."

Daphne: "I've had pictures taken of my brain! I saw them! The people behind the voices! They dress like the Amish and wear Buster Brown shoes! I know that last little piece of information because I saw the Buster Brown name in the footprints left on my brain!"

LM: "I'm getting really nervous."

Daphne: "Why are you getting nervous?! Oh! Did you hear that?!"

LM: "Hear what?!"

Daphne: "My baby's getting fussy! I've got to feed her right now!"

Daphne then started to pull down the cup over her left breast to 'feed' the doll in the middle of the ring.

LM: "Hey! Whoa! Daphne, you can't expose yourself in here! You're gonna have to do that backstage!"

Daphne: "She needs to be fed NOW!"

LM: "Daphne, she's not real. She's just a little plastic doll."

Daphne: "She is real! She's my baby! How dare you... Wait a minute!"

Daphne held up the doll next to Lee Marshall's face.

LM: "What are you doing?"

Daphne: "It's you! You're the father of Isabelle!"

LM: "Huh?! Isabelle?!"

Daphne: "She looks just like you! Look at her! She's your offspring, what's your name?!"

LM: "I'm Lee Marshall. And I never met you until you came to work for the UWL!"

Daphne: "Lee Marshall! Are you denying that Izzy is your blood as well as mine?! You owe me! You owe your daughter! You need to become a responsible father! And you owe back pay for taking care of your daughter!"

LM: "It's a plastic doll! Look! On the bottom of her foot it says 'Made in Mexico'!"

Daphne: "So you're telling me that we had our fling in Mexico, then?! I want a DNA test from you, what's your name again?!"

LM: "It's Lee Marshall and you are delusional, Daphne?!"

Daphne: "I am not delusional! I'm calling Maury Povich and we're going to settle this thing once and for all with a DNA test! And when you're proven to be the father of Isabelle, you had better man up and accept your responsibilites to this child and to me! And we need to start making wedding plans!"

LM: "Wedding plans?! What the..."

Daphne: "I want a traditional wedding in a cemetery! And I want it not long after you're proven to be Isabelle's father! See you around, dad!"

Daphne turned and left the ring while cuddling her headless doll as a stunned Lee Marshall looked on.)

(Announcers discussed the bizarre interview with Daphne. Hyped still to come: UWL World Title Re-match: Ted DiBiase (WC) (The Firm) vs. Roddy Piper; Steve Williams vs. 'Superstar' Graham; an interview with Ole Anderson; Ken Patera & Arn Anderson vs. Buddy Rose & Doug Somers; an interview with Dusty Rhodes; and more! Said the debut of 'Choo-Choo' Sawyer is next!)

Match 2

'Choo-Choo' Sawyer vs. Dennis Stamp

(Stamp was already in the ring.

The sound of a train whistle played and 'Choo-Choo' Sawyer came to the ring on the back of a small train engine. He was in blue overalls, red short-sleeve t-shirt, black ring boots and wearing a black and white striped engineer's cap. Fair amount of cheers for Buzz.

Stack: "That's Buzz Sawyer!"

Pedicino: "Looks like he has a new gimmick, Steve."

Sawyer stepped off the back of the train engine and grabbed a handful of engineer caps and tossed them into the crowd. He then placed the final one on the head of a kid at ringside. The caps had 'Choo-Choo' in white lettering in a black oval stitched to the front.

Stamp got in a little offense, but 'Choo-Choo' dominated and finished off Stamp with a jumping brainbuster and scored the 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell and raised Sawyer's hand in victory.

WINNER: Sawyer - Pinfall - Jumping Brainbuster - 2:39)

(After the match: Lee Marshall interviewed 'Choo-Choo' Sawyer.

LM: "Buzz Sawyer! What is it with this new look?"

CC: "Buzz who?! I'm 'Choo-Choo'!"

LM: "Can you explain the change?"

CC: "Lee, I've always had two loves in life! They are wrestling and trains! When I was a kid I always wanted to be a train engineer! I wanted to make that whistle blow! As I got older, I realized that I had a talent for wrestling! My goal of becoming a man of the tracks was put on hold so I could pursue a career in wrestling! While I've had success in wrestling, being a train conductor has always been in the back of my mind! So, I decided to combine my two passions and...Choo!...I'm now 'Choo-Choo' Sawyer!"

LM: "Well Buzz, I've got to say..."

CC: "I'm sorry, Lee, but I've got to head on down the tracks! Next stop: the toilet!"

Sawyer then started saying 'choo, choo, choo' repeatedly as he bent his arms at the elbow like he was a train starting up. Sawyer then left the ring and dropped to the floor and kept the faux train going as he headed back up the aisle.)

(Announcers discussed Buzz Sawyer becoming 'Choo-Choo' Sawyer. Said Steve Williams vs. 'Superstar' Graham was coming up!)

Match 3

Steve Williams vs. 'Superstar' Graham (w/ Grand Wizard)

('California Dreamin' played over the p.a. system and out came Graham and his manager the Grand Wizard. They were booed.

Graham was in his tie-dyed ring attire and Wizard was wearing 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.

Williams came to the ring to the Univ. of Oklahoma fight song. He was in a read and white OU warm-up suit. He got a strong ovation coming to the ring. Williams slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring.

As Williams made his way to the ring, pics aired from his victory over Greg valentine at 'Heatwave'.

Graham and Williams battled it out and there were some near falls during the match.

Late in the match, Graham had dropped Williams with a clothesline. As Williams started getting up next to the ropes, Graham distracted the ref by arguing with him and Wizard climbed up on the apron and choked Williams with his cane. Wizard ended his assault and Graham stopped arguing with the ref and went over and started working over Williams. Graham took control of the match.

At the end of the match, Graham was still in control. Graham whipped Williams into the ropes and caught Williams coming off with the 'Superstar Squeeze' (aka, bearhug). Williams was able to fight his way out of the hold with a series elbow strikes to the side of Graham's head. Graham let go of the hold and stumbled back against the ropes. Williams moved in on Graham but Graham stunned Williams with a knee to the gut. Graham then nailed Williams with a couple of punches. Graham whipped Williams into the ropes and looked to catch Williams coming off with a clothesline but Williams ducked the move and came back and blasted Graham with a flying shoulder tackle. Graham went down and Williams down also. Both men made it to their feet and Williams blasted Graham with another flying shoulder tackle. Graham again crashed to the mat and Williams down as well. Williams got up just before Graham and Graham walked right into the arms of Williams who picked up Graham and nailed Graham with the Oklahoma Stampede (aka, running powerslam after ramming Graham into the buckles). Williams covered Graham and didn't hook the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell and raised Williams' hand in victory.

WINNER: Williams - Pinfall - Oklahoma Stampede - 7:18)

(Announcers discussed Williams winning the match. Hyped still to come: UWL World Title Re-match: Ted DiBiase (WC) (The Firm) vs. Roddy Piper; Ken Patera & Arn Anderson vs. Buddy Rose & Doug Somers; an interview with Dusty Rhodes; and more! Said an interview with Ole Anderson was coming up!)

(Pics aired from 'Heatwave' of the match between Ole Anderson and Buzz Tyler where Tyler beat Ole with a fisherman suplex.)

(In-ring: Lee Marshall interviewed Ole Anderson.

'Al Var Alda' by Wardruna played and Anderson came to the ring. He was in street clothes and had his black satin ring jacket on that had runes on the sleeves and the life rune on the back with the word 'Anderson' above the rune. He was mainly booed coming to the ring.

LM: "Ole, at 'Heatwave' on Sunday you were beaten by Buzz Tyler. This was a man who, when he was a green rookie and you were already a big star, you apparently toyed with and stretched him in the ring. Tyler said you took advantage of him back then. It looks like he got a measure of revenge two days ago. What do you say to that?"

Ole: "What I say to that is, yes, Buzz Tyler did beat me at 'Heatwave'. He actually suprised me with some of the moves he revealed he has in his arsenal in the match. I didn't know Buzz Tyler had the fisherman suplex in his move set. Buzz Tyler pinned me. But, Buzz Tyler did not make me submit to his Kimura Lock. That's the key here. Buzz Tyler did not make me tap out. The Kimura Lock is a submission hold that can have devastating consequences on the person who is the victim of it. You can lose the use of your arm for a long time if the Kimura Lock is locked in correctly. Buzz failed in that respect. He was able to apply the hold on me in the match. But he could not finish me off with it. Now, Buzz has told us that he's primarily a submission wrestler. In every match he won heading into our match at 'Heatwave', Buzz won with the Kimura Lock. But he couldn't do that to me. I'm the man that Buzz has waited all these years to lock in a devastating submission hold like the Kimura Lock. He wanted me to beg for mercy. It didn't happen Sunday. Buzz, you won the match, but you didn't score the moral victory that you so badly wanted. You have..."

Buzz Tyler, in his ring attire, walked out on the entrance stage with mic in hand. He got a decent ovation from the crowd.

BT: "I didn't know that they kept records of moral victories, Ole! The fact is I beat you at 'Heatwave' and the record books will always say that! I did indeed pin you! I did what I came to do! I won! That's the bottom line! I gained that measure of revenge I had been looking for all these years, Ole! It was on my mind all the time about what you did to me, how you treated me in the ring when I was a rookie! You didn't need to take liberties with me that night but you did! I made a promise to myself that when I got more experience, one day I was gonna come looking for you and wrestle you again! It happened! And I got the victory!"

Ole: "Buzz, you can say whatever you want. You didn't beat me the way you really wanted to. You wanted to lock me in that Kimura Lock and make me tap out. It's a hollow victory for you. And it will eat you up inside until the day comes when you can finally make me submit to you. But that day will never come. You are not..."

BT: "Ole! Whenever you want to step in the ring with me again, you just say the word and it's on! And the next time I lock you in the Kimura Lock, you will be tapping out in great pain!"

Ole: "Buzz, I'll be more than happy to frustrate your plans once more and add insult to injury by making you submit to my cross armbreaker. Then it will be game over and you will never achieve the one thing you've always wanted to do in this sport. You will never make Ole Anderson submit to you."

Long-distance staredown as the segment ended.)

(Announcers discussed the confrontation between Ole and Tyler. Said Patera & Arn vs. Rose & Somers was coming up!)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson interviewed Roddy Piper in the locker room as Piper was preparing for his World Title re-match against new UWL WC Ted DiBiase tonight.

Piper was in his tights and boots.

LN: "Roddy, Sunday was a shocker because of how the World Title match ended at 'Heatwave'. Were you shocked by the actions of Dallas Page Sunday night?"

RP: "Larry, I don't have much to say tonight because I want to concentrate on the task at hand. I've got the chance to regain the UWL World Title and I need to remain focused. But next week, no matter what happens this evening, I'm gonna have a lot to say...especially about The Firm's newest addition, Dallas Page. That's all I've got to say right now."

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

Match 4

Ken Patera & Arn Anderson vs. Buddy Rose & Doug Somers

(Patera and Anderson came to the ring to the song 'The Fight' by Giorgio Moerdor. They got a good ovation coming to the ring.

Rose and Somers came to the ring to the song 'I'm Too Sexy'. They were booed by most in the crowd.

As Rose and Somers made their way to the ring, pics aired from the bloody Tuxedo Tornado match pitting Rose and Somers against the Nasty Boys at 'Heateave'.

Once in the ring, Rose took off his robe revealing his doughboy-like body. Rose took the r.a. mic from Lee Marshall.

Rose: "I want to make it perfectly clear. I can't stand fat people. I loathe them. They disgust me beyond belief. I am not fat and I do not weigh 271 pounds. I weigh a slim, unbelievably trim 217 pounds. I think some of you may need to visit your eye doctor if you think I'm a fat slob like Knobs and Sags of the Nasty Boys are."

Match was a back-and-forth battle between two good teams with some exciting near falls.

At the end of the match, Rose and Arn were the legal men in the ring. Rose was on the offensive and whipped Arn into the buckles and charged in on Arn but Arn got a boot up and caught Rose in the face. Rose staggered backwards. Arn moved out of the cornerand kicked Rose in the gut and blasted Rose with a DDT. Arn for the cover. 1...2... Somers hit the ring and and broke up the pin try with a stomp to Arn's head. Patera hit the ring and popped Somers with a series of punches that drove Somers back next to the ropes. Patera nailed Somers with another punch and Somers fell back through the top and middle rope to the floor and Patera followed him out. Arn made it to his feet in the ring first and bent down to pick up Rose when Rose suddenly caught Arn in a small package. 1...2... Arn kicked out. Patera battering Somers on the floor. Rose and Arn to their feet and Rose stunned Arn with a couple of punches and went to whip Arn into the ropes but Arn reversed and caught Rose coming off with the spinebuster. Crowd popped as Arn made the throat-slitting gesture.

On the floor, Ken was still beating Somers like a drum. Ref paying attention to the action in the ring. The mystery masked man dressed all in black at 'Heatwave' made another appearance and charged down the aisle and nailed Patera with a crowbar shot to the back just as Arn picked up Rose and nailed him with the gourdbuster in the ring. Ken down on the floor. Masked man fled the scene. Arn covered Rose and hoooked the leg. 1...2...2-3/4... No! Somers was able to scurry into the ring and break up the pin try with a double sledge to Arn's back. Ref ordered Somers out of the ring. Somers distracted the ref by arguing with him. Arn up and saw Somers still in the ring. Arn confronted Somers and Somers slapped Arn and Arn drilled Somers with a left-handed KO punch to the face. Somers crashed to the mat. Rose was caught reaching into his tights and appeared to be brandishing a foreign object in his right hand. Patera still down on the floor. As the ref tried to roll the dazed and confused Somers out of the ring to the apron, Arn went back over to Rose and reached down and started pulling Rose up by the hair when Rose stunned Arn with a foreign object-laden right to the jaw. Arn crashed to the mat. Ref finally got Somers out of the ring as Rose put the foreign object back into his tights. Ref turned around as Rose covered Arn and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell. Somers had recovered enough to make his way into the ring to have his hand raised with Rose and briefly celebrate the win.

Lex Luger, still in his ring attire, made his way to the ring and started having a conversation with the ref. Luger pointed out at Patera, who was now on his feet on the floor and leaning with his arms on the apron, and gestured that the black-clad mystery man had struck again and hit Patera with a crowbar. Rose and Somers had left the ring and were now standing on the floor looking on as Luger pointed at Rose and gestured that Rose appeared to hit Arn with a foreign object. Ref talked with Luger and then the ref pointed to his eyes showing that he didn't see the use of the object and then threw up his hands like there was nothing he could do. Patera got in the ring and he and Luger had a few words with each other as Arn was now on his knees and shaking out the effects of the foreign object shot. Lex and Ken helped Arn to his feet. Arn took a second to get his bearings together. Ref said somthing to the trio before Arn, Ken and Lex left the ring and headed back up the aisle.

WINNER: Rose & Somers - Pinfall - Rose pinned Arn after a Foreign Object shot - 8:54)

(Announcers discussed Rose and Somers defeating Patera and Arn and another appearance by the black-clad mystery man who bashed Patera with a crowbar. Hyped still to come: UWL World Title Re-Match: Ted DiBiase (WC) (The Firm) vs. Roddy Piper. Said an interview with Dusty Rhodes was coming up!)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson interviewed UWL World Champion Ted DiBiase of The Firm in The Firm's private dressing room. Ted was in his ring gear and wearing a Firm t-shirt.

LN: "Ted, what are your thoughts on President Watts ordering the World Title re-match so soon after 'Heatwave'?"

TD (pissed): "I shouldn't have to be defending the World Title tonight! I'm given a little over an hour's notice to get ready for this match! This is how Roddy Piper operates! This is how Bill Watts operates! And this is how UWL owner KD Smith operates! I know all three of them are in cahoots on this! I should have had at least a week to prepare for the re-match! It's so obvious what's going on here! I didn't even think I was wrestling tonight! I thought this evening was going to be a celebration of what The Firm accomplished at 'Heatwave'! The UWL brass wants to try and get the World Title off of me as soon as possible! Even a blind man can see that!

"I've been backed into a corner! This is injustice of the worst kind! I should have been able to enjoy this moment! And there's one person I want to single out in this conspiracy! UWL owner KD Smith! I'm taking your company, KD! Whether you like it or don't like it, you need to accept that fact! I'm going to be the boss of the UWL in the very near future! You may have pulled out some sort of trump card this evening! But believe you me, KD, the clock is about to strike midnight for you and you will be the FORMER owner of the UWL! He can't stop us! He can try everything his imagination conjures up to maintain ownership! But in the end it will fail! The Firm's time has begun and it will culminate in The Firm being the masters of the UWL universe and KD Smith will be left to wonder what happened when we rip the UWL from his grip!")

(Pics aired from the Rhodes-Bigelow match at 'Heatwave'. Announcers said PPV replays were available now.)

(In-ring: Dusty Rhodes promo.

'You Can't Judge A Book' by Hank Williams, Jr. played and Rhodes, in street clothes, made his way to the ring to a strong ovation. He had a mic.

As Dusty made his way down the aisle, Bam Bam, in street clothes, charged down the aisle behind Rhodes and bashed Rhodes across the upper back with a forearm smash. Dusty dropped the mic. Dusty spun around and Bam Bam belted Dusty with some head shots and then picked the mic up off the floor bashed Dusty in the head with it mulitple times. Dusty went down in the aisle. Bam Bam went over to the ring and reached under it and brandished a steel chair. Dusty unsteadily made his way to this feet and was now bleeding and Bam Bam came over and bashed Dusty over the head with the chair. Dusty stumbled and fell back against the barricade. Bam Bam dropped the chair, grabbed Dusty by the hair and and walked Dusty over by the ring and slammed Dusty's head into the ring apron and threw the bloody Dusty into the ring. Dusty still down. Bam Bam got in the ring and put the boots to Dusty and maneuvered Dusty into position for a turnbuckle move. Bam mounted the middle buckle facing the crowd and came off and went to nail Dusty with a slingshot splash but Dusty rolled out of the way. Crowd popped. Both men down. Dusty made it to his feet and dropped to the floor. Dusty went over and picked up the chair Bam Bam had used on him. Bam Bam slowly made it to his feet in the ring facing away from Dusty. Dusty climbed into the ring, came up behind Bam Bam and bashed Bam Bam across the back with the chair. Bam Bam up but hurting. Dusty nailed Bam Bam across the back a couple of more times with the chair.

Bam Bam staggered around and was near the ropes as Dusty raised the chair above his head and moved in and clocked Bam Bam over the head with the chair. Bam Bam crashed to the mat, rolled out on the apron and dropped to the floor. Crowd cheering. Dusty took off his shirt in the ring and then climbed out of the ring with chair in hand. A now bloody Bam Bam got up and Dusty nailed Bam Bam with a chair shot to the gut. Bam Bam turned and started staggering away from Rhodes but Rhodes followed Bam Bam and nailed him with another chair shot to the back and followed that one with another shot that sent Bam Bam crashing to the floor. Bam Bam covered up as Dusty then started hitting him with the chair some more. Dusty was in a rage. Dusty kept the chair shots coming and bent the top of the chair from the blows. UWL security members charged down and one was able to wrest the chair from Dusty's grasp. Other security members held Dusty at bay as other security members moved in and surrounded Bam Bam. Bam Bam made it to his feet. Rhodes wanted to get at Bam Bam again but couldn't because of security. Bam Bam was ordered to the back by other security members. Bam Bam was on shaky legs but still wanted to fight with Rhodes. Dusty broke free from security and jumped through the line of security protecting Bigelow. Dusty started nailing Bam Bam with punches to the head. Security was once again able to re-store order and separate the pair. Tense situation as security ordered Bam Bam to head to the back. Words were exchanged. Finally, security was able to get Bam Bam to head back up the aisle. Crowd buzzing. A seething Rhodes was still standing at ringside being held at bay by security in an effort to defuse the situation.)

(Announcers discussed the brawl between Bam Bam and Dusty. Said the UWL World Title match was next!)

Match 5 (UWL World Title Match)

Ted DiBiase (WC) (The Firm) vs. Roddy Piper

(Bagpipe music filled the arena and Piper came to the ring in his kilt, t-shirt and ring boots. Piper got a loud ovation coming to the ring. Piper got in the ring and acknowledged the crowd.

'Money' played and Ted DiBiase of The Firm came to the ring. He was in his ring attire and a Firm t-shirt. He had the title around his waist.

In the ring, DiBiase handed off the belt to the ref and the ref held it up for all to see. Ref handed the belt off to r.a. Marshall. Ref called the two men to the center of the ring and laid down the ground rules and patted each man down as Piper and Dibiase glared at each other.

Ref called for the bell to start the match.

Piper took the match early and tried to put DiBiase away and regain the belt but DiBiase escaped defeat. DiBiase fought his way back into the match and held serve for a time. The match then turned into a see-saw affair.

At the end of the match, Piper had just gained the advantage. Piper rained boxing-style head and body punches down on DiBiase. Piper whipped DiBiase into the buckles and charged in and looked to nail DiBiase with a clothesline but DiBiase moved and Piper crashed front-first into the buckles. DiBiase came over behind Piper and nailed Piper in the side of the ribs with some punches. Piper staggered out by the ropes and was holding his ribs. DiBiase tried to whip Piper into the ropes but Piper grabbed the top rope. Dibiase kneed Piper in the gut and Piper let go of the rope. Dibiase whipped Piper into the ropes and looked to catch Piper coming off with a clothesline but Piper ducked the move and came back and blasted DiBiase with a spear. Crowd roared. Both men down as the match had taken its toll. Piper crawled over and covered DiBiase. 1...2...2-1/2... DiBiase got a shoulder up. Crowd groaned. Piper got up and snapped DiBiase up.

DiBiase covered Piper and hooked the leg. 1...2...2-9/10... Piper kicked out. Crowd buzzing. DiBiase had disbelief written all over his face. DiBiase snapped Piper up, whipped Piper into the ropes and bent down and looked to backdrop Piper coming off but Piper leapfrogged DiBiase and when Ted turned around, Piper nailed DiBiase with a flurry of head and body boxing-style punches. DiBiase dazed in the middle of the ring. Piper hit the ropes behind DiBiase and came off and nailed DiBiase with a facebuster. Crowd exploded as they knew what was coming. DiBiase rolled over on his back as Piper grabbed his left ankle. DiBiase fought being turned over but Piper finally prevailed and had DiBiase locked in the ankle lock. Crowd going nuts.

Six Firm members came out and started making their way to the ring. Crowd got even louder when Lex, Steve Williams, Dusty Rhodes (now sporting a bandage on his head), Arn Anderson, Buzz Tyler and, yes, Rip Oliver caught up with the Firm 6 and started brawling with them at ringside, thus keeping them from interfering on behalf of DiBiase.

DiBiase teased tapping out as he inched his way towards the ropes. As the brawl continued at ringside, DiBiase moved close enough to get his hand on the bottom rope, but just as he grabbed the rope, Piper ripped DiBiase away from the ropes and back towards the middle of the ring with the ankle still firmly locked. DiBiase appeared to be ready to tap. He had his hand raised. His Firm brethern were engaged with UWL wrestlers. Then it happened. A man came throught the crowd and jumped the ringside barricade and hit the ring behind Piper. It was DDP. DDP immediately attacked Piper. Ref saw it and called for the bell. DDP hammered away on Piper and then laid Piper out with a Diamond Cutter. Ref again called for the bell as DDP put the boots to Piper as DiBiase hobbled to his feet. Fighting was still going on at ringside. Crowd popped as Lord Humongous and Missing Link came charging down to ringside and they immediately hit the ring. DDP had been preparing to nail Piper with another Diamond Cutter and he just let Piper go and he and DiBiase escaped to the floor. Piper down in the ring with Lord and Link standing guard over him. Fighting continued as chaos reigned as the program faded to black.

Match 1 (President's Championship)

Rick Rude (PC) (The Firm) vs. Harley Race

(Music-only version of 'Turn The Page' by Bob Seger played over the p.a. system and Race came to the ring to a solid ovation. Race didn't slap hands with fans on the way to the ring but did acknowledge them briefly once in the ring.

Rude came to the ring alone to 'Money' by Pink Floyd. He got a mixed crowd reaction.

Once in the ring, Rude took the r.a. mic from Lee Marshall.

Rude: "What I want right now is for all you Tucson losers who call yourselves men to shut your traps and let your ladies get a gander at a real man they can only dream about being intimate with!"

Rude took off his robe revealing the President's Championship around his waist. He placed his hands behind his head and gyrated his hips.

Ref took the title from Rude and held it up for all to see and then handed the belt off to r.a. Marshall. Ref called both men to the middle of the ring and laid down the rules and patted each man down and then sent each man to his respective corner.

Ref called for the bell to start the match.

Race took the majority of the match and came close to relieving Rude of the title on a couple of occasions. Rude also couldn't put Race away.

At the end of the match, Race was on the offensive. Race had worn down Rude and bodyslammed Rude into position for a turnbuckle move. Race mounted the middle buckle and came off with a diving headbutt that connected. Race for the cover. 1...2...2-1/2... Rude kicked out.

Race fell forward into the apron. Rude kept the ref distracted as the masked mystery man threw Race back into the ring and then fled the scene. Rude stopped arguing with the ref and went over and pulled up the hurting Race. Rude took immediate advantage of the situation and blasted Race with the Rude Awakening and covered Race. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell and went over and took the belt from r.a. Marshall. Ref handed Rude the belt and raised Rude's hand in victory.

WINNER: Rude - Pinfall - Rude Awakening - 9:39)

(After the match: Lex Luger, Ken Patera and Arn Anderson, all in their ring attire, made their way to the ring. The trio got in the ring. Rude was looking on with the belt slung over his shoulder. The trio was talking to the ref and Patera gestured that Race had been hit with a crowbar by the masked mystery man just like he was last week. Ref and the trio had a brief, heated discussion. Once again, like last week, the ref pointed at his eyes signaling he didn't see the interference. Race was now up but his back was hurting. Race joined in the discussion. Race pointed at his back and then made the gesture of being hit in the back with a weapon. Ref told Race there was nothing he could do since he didn't see it. Rude was on the apron. Luger went over and pointed a finger in Rude's face and was picked up on a mic saying he knows The Firm is behind the masked mystery man and his attacks. Rude reacted like he didn't know what Luger was talking about. Race came over to where Rude and Luger were and joined Luger in accusing The Firm of being behind the masked man. Rude looked at Race and patted the title on his shoulder. Rude blew Luger and Race off with a wave of the hand gesture. Luger went to grab Rude but Rude quickly dropped to the floor, wiped sweat off his forehead and flicked it in Luger and Race's direction. Race wanted to go after Rude but Luger stopped Race. Race started having words with Luger about Luger stopping him. Rude just backed up the aisle and was taking in the dysfunction in the ring with smirk on his face. Arn and Ken came over and made sure Luger and Race didn't come to blows in the ring. Arn and Ken got the situation under control and the four left the ring together.)

(Announcers Steve Stack and Joe Pedicino welcomed viewers and discussed Rude retaining the President's Championship against Harley Race thanks to outside interference from the crowbar-wielding masked mystery man and the crazy post-match.

As Madusa took off her belt and went and stood on the middle buckle and held the belt up Luna attacked Madusa from behind and the ref called for the bell to start the match.

Luna dominated early and came close to pulling the upset. But Madusa fought her way back into the match and gained the advantage. Luna re-gained the advantage late but Madusa was able to fight back and finish off the feisty Luna with a German suplex into bridgeout for the 1...2...3!

WINNER: Madusa - Pinfall - German Suplex into a Bridgeout - 4:21)

(After the match: As the ref was raising Madusa's hand in victory, Daphne, wearing a torn up black party dress and her face smeared with pink and black paint, and messy hair, hit the ring with her headless doll and some other object in hand. Madusa turned and Daphne sprayed Madusa in the face with a chemical. Madusa dropped the belt and crashed to the mat and had her hands over her face and was rolling around on the mat as Daphne looked on and laughed.

Stack: "I smell pepper spray."

Daphne walked around the ring and was pointing and laughing at the hurting Madusa. Daphne grabbed the World Title off the mat and ran off with it. Ref signaled for help. A UWL security member hit the ring with a bottle of water. They were able to get Madusa to sit-up and pour the water in her eyes. Ref and security member helped Madusa to her feet. As Madusa regained clear sight, she looked around and wondered where the title was. It was explained that Daphne had made off with it.

(Announcers intro'd video last week of the bizarre interaction between Daphne and ring announcer Lee Marshall.

VIDEO (Edited):

Daphne was wearing a torn up and dirty wedding dress, old-fashioned black ankle-high boots and white stockings with holes in them. Her face was smeared with black and white paint and her hair was a mess. She was also wearing a small top hat on the top of her head.

She was carrying her headless baby doll and the doll was wearing a tattered dress of her own and was missing one of her little black shoes.

LM: "Daphne, she's not real. She's just a little plastic doll."

Daphne: "She is real! She's my baby! How dare you... Wait a minute!"

Daphne held up the doll next to Lee Marshall's face.

LM: "What are you doing?"

Daphne: "It's you! You're the father of Isabelle!"

LM: "Huh?! Isabelle?!"

Daphne: "She looks just like you! Look at her! She's your offspring, what's your name?!"

LM: "I'm Lee Marshall. And I never met you until you came to work for the UWL!"

Daphne: "Lee Marshall! Are you denying that Izzy is your blood as well as mine?! You owe me! You owe your daughter! You need to become a responsible father! And you owe back pay for taking care of your daughter!"

LM: "It's a plastic doll! Look! On the bottom of her foot it says 'Made in Mexico'!"

Daphne: "So you're telling me that we had our fling in Mexico, then?! I want a DNA test from you, what's your name again?!"

LM: "It's Lee Marshall and you are delusional, Daphne?!"

Daphne: "I am not delusional! I'm calling Maury Povich and we're going to settle this thing once and for all with a DNA test! And when you're proven to be the father of Isabelle, you had better man up and accept your responsibilites to this child and to me! And we need to start making wedding plans!"

LM: "Wedding plans?! What the..."

Daphne: "I want a traditional wedding in a cemetery! And I want it not long after you're proven to be Isabelle's father! See you around, dad!"

Daphne turned and left the ring while cuddling her headless doll as a stunned Lee Marshall looked on as the segment ended.

Video then flipped and talk show host Maury Povich was on the screen.

Maury: "Hello, UWL fans. I'm Maury Povich. As many of you know who watch my show, 'Maury', we have guests come on who want men to take DNA tests to see if they are the father of their baby. Take a look at this."

Video aired from 'Maury' of the host reading the results of the DNA tests telling the men they were or weren't the father of the woman's child and the chaotic reactions to the announcements.

Maury: "Recently, my show got a call from a woman named Daphne. She wants to know if one Lee Marshall is the father of her child Isabelle. Next week, we will have a special edition of 'Maury' right here on UWL 'Slam!' Wrestling and we will find out once and for all whether or not Lee Marshall is the father of Isabelle.")

(Announcers discussed a special edition of 'Maury' taking place on next week's 'Slam!'

Pedicino: "I think it's safe in assuming that Maury Povich doesn't know that Isabelle is really a headless doll."

Stack: "I think you're right."

Hyped still to come: Roddy Piper speaks on Dallas Page of The Firm; Bam Bam Bigelow (The Firm) vs. Ken Patera; an interview with Dusty Rhodes; The Nasty Boys vs. Gene & Lars Anderson; Steve Williams vs. Rip Oliver; Father Dutch vs. Buzz Tyler; and more. Said Dark Journey, Lord Humongous & Missing Link were here next!)

(Video aired from 'Heatwave' of the World Tag Team Title match where Lord Humongous and members of The Firm were battling on the floor and Dark Journey went over to break things up and in the melee' she was accidentally knocked to the floor by Lord and Lord wound up carrying Journey to the back as the title match was going on.)

(In-ring: Lee Marshall interviewed Lord Humongous, Missing Link & Dark Journey.

'Breaking The Law' played over the p.a. system and the crowd popped big as Lord, Link and Journey came to the ring. Lord was wearing his ring attire and trademark '80s-style hockey goalie mask and Link was in his ring attire and his face was painted black, blue and green.

On the floor, Link slammed his head into the ring post multiple times and Lord climbed up on the apron and pounded his chest and then climbed over the top rope into the ring. Link got in and stomped around as Journey took it in from the apron before getting in the ring.

LM: "Dark Journey, this is the first time you've spoken publicly since Lord Humongous and Missing Link lost the World Tag Team Titles to Hall and Nash of The Firm at 'Heatwave'. The question on the minds of wrestling fans everywhere is: are there any problems within your camp right now after Lord Humongous struck you, though accidentally, during the title match at 'Heatwave' and he carried you to the back while the match was still going on, leaving Missing Link alone to continue the battle?"

DJ: "Lee, I can tell you that there is no dissension in our camp right now. I know that Lord Humongous hitting me and knocking me down was a total accident. He apologized to me in his own way that night after the match. As for him carrying me off while the match was still happening, both of these men have been taught to help women in distress and that's what happened at 'Heatwave'. Things could have been much worse for me at 'Heatwave' if Lord didn't do what he did. I trust these men with my life. I know they'll do the right thing when called upon."

LM: "I'm sure these fans are glad to hear that. As for the tag team titles. You do have a re-match clause in your contract. Will you be triggering that anytime soon?"

DJ: "I guarantee you that we will be using our re-match clause against Hall and Nash in the very near future. But there's someone else we need to deal with first. And those are the men who cost us the tag team titles, the Sacred Anvil and Grog. They don't interfere in the match at 'Heatwave' then we're standing out here before you tonight still the champions. Grog and Sacred Anvil, you guys have made these two men in the ring with me very angry. And they will get their hands on you and when they do, you will wish you never got involved in our business."

The Sacred Anvil and Grog walked out on the entrance stage. They were pretty strongly booed. Anvil had a mic. He was dressed in his Mormon missionary-style attire and Grog was in his usual sliver and black mask with black cross above the eyes and street clothes.

SA: "Dark Journey...just why do they call you Dark Journey, anyway?! I can venture a guess! But I'm not going to say it because that would violate Father Dutch's 'Wholesome Thoughts Law'! If Lord Humongous and Missing Link didn't come down and run me and Grog off from ringside during Father Dutch's match with Koko B. Ware then we wouldn't have retaliated and cost Reverend Jim from 'Taxi' and Corky from 'Life Goes On' there their match with Hall and Nash at 'Heatwave'! If you don't want problems with us then you shouldn't get involved in our business! Understood?!"

DJ: "Lord and Link never laid a hand on you when they chased you off from ringside during the Koko B. Ware-Father Dutch match. You went out of your way to assault the Missing Link and cost us the belts. We want payback."

SA: "You want payback? Against soldiers of God? Hahahaha! You really need to be careful about who you pick a fight with, lady! We have Him (points skyward) on our side! Your boys may just get a lightning bolt where the sun don't shine if they tamper with holy men!"

DJ: "We'll take our chances, Anvil. You guys are anything but holy. Con men suits you much better. We want the match and we want it soon!"

SA: "You're determined to push this, huh?! (Strokes goatee) Grog and me accept your challenge! Prepare to feel the wrath of God and his emissary here on earth, Father Dutch, as we rain down righteous justice upon the heathen heads of Lord Humongous and the Missing Link!"

Long-distance staredown.)

(Announcers discussed the confrontation between Lord and Link and Grog and Sacred Anvil. Said the Nasty Boys vs. Gene & Lars Anderson was coming up!)

Match 3

The Nasty Boys vs. Lars & Gene Anderson

(Lars and Gene came to the ring minus Ole to the song 'Al Var Alda' by Wardruna. They were in their ring attire and wearing their black satin jackets with runes on the sleeves and the life rune on the back with the word 'Anderson' above the life rune. They were mainly booed.

Nastys came to the ring to the song 'Fight For Your Right' by the Beastie Boys. They were cheered coming out. Nastys slapped hands with some of the fans while on the way to the ring.

Brief affair between these two teams that went back-and-forth until the Nastys nailed Gene with the flapjack and Knobs covered Gene to score the 1...2...3!.

WINNER: Nastys - Pinfall - Knobs pinned Gene with the Flapjack - 3:39)

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

Knobs: "This win is dedicated to all the fat slobs like us out there!"

Many in the crowd cheered.

As the Nasty's prepared to leave the ring, Buddy Rose and Doug Somers came out on the entrance stage in street clothes. Both had mics. They received a fair amount of boos.

Rose: "The first thing I want to say to all these people is, I don't weigh 271 pounds. I weigh a slim, trim 217. You know, Nasty Boys, you guys really disgust us. Dedicating a win to your fellow fat slobs. Jeez! You're proud to be fat slobs? I can't stand the sight of fat people. They're gross. They stink. Their stomach hangs down over the front of their pants. It's a hideous sight. Fat people should not be allowed outside their homes because of their grossness factor.

"I can't believe that you two didn't lose any weight after the beating Doug and I gave you at 'Heatwave'. You're still same lard asses today that you were when you entered the ring against us nine days ago. You would have at least thought that you would have lost some weight because of all the blood you lost when we busted you open like a pair of bloated pinatas.

"You guys are absolutely vile. You got what you deserved from us at 'Heatwave'."

Knobs: "Buddy! You need to face reality, pal! Accept the fact that you are indeed 271 pounds! Admit to yourself that, yes, I am a lard ass and proud of it!"

Rose: "How dare you call me a lard ass! Look at me! I am the picture of fitness! I should be on the cover of 'Muscle and Fitness' magazine..."

Knobs: "You?! You should be on the cover of 'Muscle and Fitness' magazine?! As what...a 'before' photo?! You need to face the facts, man! You're a fat slob just like the Nastys are! Come on, Buddy! Accept yourself! Accept your lard ass-ness! Accept your fat slobbery! You're one of us!"

Rose: "I will never be a pungent, fat pig with a bad haircut like either of you!"

Somers: "You go ahead and keep slandering my partner here! You'll pay for those false and malicious words! But it won't be in a court of law! Oh no! It will be in that ring! And the next time, we won't be so merciful on you two clowns!"

Sags: "What does 'slander' even mean?! We welcome another match with you guys! You talk about making us bleed in that match at 'Heatwave', what about the way we made you bleed in that match?! You two bled like a couple of stuck pigs! You wanna tangle with the Nastys again, then let's do it! And maybe we can beat Buddy down to his dream weight of 217!"

Rose: "I already weigh 217 pounds! Quit implying that I'm a fat slob like you two! I am in exquisite shape..."

Somers: "You want another match with us?! Great! It will be a pleasure to beat up you two repugnant, bloated punks again!")

(Announcers discussed the confrontation between the Nasty Boys and Rose and Somers. Hyped still to come: Roddy Piper speaks on Dallas Page of The Firm; Bam Bam Bigelow (The Firm) vs. Ken Patera; an interview with Dusty Rhodes; Father Dutch vs. Buzz Tyler; and more. Said Steve Williams vs. Rip Oliver was next!)

Match 4

Steve Williams vs. Rip Oliver

(Williams came to the ring to the OU fight song. He was dressed in a red and white OU warm-up suit. He got a strong ovation coming to the ring. Williams slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring.

Rip Oliver came to the ring to the song 'Bad To The Bone'. He was booed. Oliver feigned like he was going to backhand a heckler as he made his way to the ring.

Oliver held serve early before Williams fought his way back into the match.

At the end of the match, the action was see-sawing between the two when Oliver stunned Williams with a rear sitout mat slam out of nowhere. Oliver assumed the position as Williams got to his feet. When Williams got up, Oliver went for his superkick finisher but Williams caught Oliver's foot. Williams held the foot while he nailed Oliver with punches to the head with his free hand. Williams whipped Oliver into the ropes and caught Oliver coming off with a flying shoulder tackle. Oliver crashed to the mat. Oliver got up and walked right into Williams' arms. Williams nailed Oliver with the Oklahoma Stampede (aka, rammed opponent into the buckles followed by a running powerslam). Williams for the cover. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell. Williams got up and had his hand raised in victory. Williams slapped hands with fans on his way back up the aisle.

WINNER: Williams - Pinfall - Oklahoma Stampede - 6:10)

(Announcers discussed Williams' win over Oliver. Said an interview with Dusty Rhodes is next!)

(Video aired from last week of Dusty Rhodes being attacked by Bam Bam Bigelow of The Firm as Rhodes made his way to the ring for an interview and a bloody brawl ensuing between the two.)

(In-ring: Dusty Rhodes promo.

'You Can't Judge A Book' played and Dusty Rhodes came to the ring to a loud ovation. He had a small white bandage on his forehead. Dusty was in street clothes. As Dusty walked down the aisle with mic in hand, he turned to look back to make sure Bam Bam wasn't sneaking up on him. Dusty didn't slap hands with fans but acknowledged them briefly once in the ring.

DR: "Bam Bam Bigelow! When they talk about blood feuds in this sport, ours is at the top of the list, jack! We've already shed so much of each other's blood that they could open a blood bank to save a small country on our blood loss alone! Bammer! When you attacked me last week, I knew there was no way in hell that I was gonna let you leave me laying in that ring! I mustered everything I had and gave as well as I got from you! You may have won our match at 'Heatwave'! But we will meet again! That's a promise that's written in stone! And when we do..."

Bam Bam, in his ring attire, walked out unannounced on the entrance stage with mic in hand to a mixed crowd reaction.

Bam Bam: "Hey, Dusty! Over here! You know, I'm already tired of talking about and hearing about us having a re-match! So I was thinkin'! Why don't we do it in two weeks!"

DR: "Why wait two weeks?! Why don't we do it next week!"

Bam Bam: "Because I've got an offer for you, Dusty! I'll let you pick the stipulations for our match next week! But you have to do one thing first!"

DR: "What's that?!"

Bam Bam: "Next week, you have to beat another member of The Firm! And I get to choose your opponent!"

DR: "Do you think I'm intimidated by your offer, Bammer?! I welcome it! This is war and war is hell! I welcome a battle with any member of The Firm next week!"

Pres. Watts walked out on the entrance stage with mic in hand. He was in a suit. Very little crowd reax to the Cowboy.

BW: "I was watching this interaction backstage. The match between you two will happen in two weeks. And Dusty, if you're open to Bam Bam's challenge, I will allow it. Dusty, if you win next week then you will pick the stips for your match with Bam Bam in two weeks."

DR: "Just give me the contracts, Bill, and I'll sign both of them!"

BW: "Bam Bam, have you chosen The Firm member who will wrestle Dusty next week?"

Bam: "I have. But neither you nor Rhodes will know until the match next week."

DR: "I don't care who it is that I face! I'm gonna beat 'em and I've already got the match stipulations picked out for our match in two weeks!"

Bam: "And what are those stipulations?!"

DR (Smiling): "You're just gonna have to wait until I win next week, daddy!"

Bam glared at Dusty from the entrance stage as the segment ended.)

(Announcers discussed the Dusty-Bam Bam confrontation and Watts making a match between the two for two weeks from tonight on 'Slam!' and Rhodes facing a TBA member of The Firm next week with the stip that if Dusty wins, he gets to pick the stips for his match against Bam Bam. Said Buzz Tyler vs. Father Dutch was coming up!)

Match 5

Buzz Tyler vs. Father Dutch

(Gregorian chants filled the arena as Father Dutch came to the ring alone. He was in his priest's attire. He was pretty strongly booed.

'Flirtin' With Disaster' by Molly Hatchet roared out of the p.a. system and Buzz Tyler came to the ring to a decent ovation.

Buzz had control of the match until Grog and Sacred Anvil came to ringside. Sacred Anvil pulled down the top rope when Tyler ran in that direction to hit the ropes. Tyler went over the rope and crashed to the floor and Grog and Anvil attacked Tyler as Father Dutch distracted the referee. Grog threw Tyler back in the ring and Father Dutch took control. Crowd popped as Lord Humongous and Missing Link charged to ringside and started brawling with Grog and Anvil. Father Dutch worked over Tyler and then locked Tyler in the Confessional. Father Dutch dropped to the mat with Tyler on top of him. Tyler fighting not to give in. Tyler managed to roll over on his stomach and get to all fours. Tyler got to his feet with Father Dutch still on his back. Tyler managed to surge backwards into the buckles twice and freed himself from Father Dutch's grasp. Father Dutch went down next to the ropes and Tyler stumbled forward and went down to his knees.

Grog had gotten away from Missing Link and Grog ran into the ring with Missing Link giving chase. Ref was distracted as Grog and Link started fighting next to the ropes. Father Dutch reached into his pocket and brandished his small chain. Lord had knocked Anvil to the floor. Ref got tangled up with Grog and Link by the ropes. Tyler got up and turned around and Dutch went to hit him with his chain but Lord hit the ring and came up behind Dutch and grabbed his right arm just as Dutch was about to hit Tyler. Lord spun Dutch around. Dutch saw it was Lord, dropped the chain, truned around and walked right into Tyler who took Dutch down in the Kimura Lock. Lord left the ring. Ref freed himself from Grog and Link and Grog bolted the ring with Link giving chase. Ref turned and saw Dutch in Tyler's Kimura Lock. Dutch tapped out quickly as the fans cheered. Tyler got up and the ref raised his hand in victory and Tyler left the ring and met up with Lord and Link and headed back up the aisle to cheers.

WINNER: Tyler - Submission - Kimura Lock - 6:42)

(Announcers discussed Tyler defeating Father Dutch and Lord and Link battling it out with Grog and the Sacred Anvil during the match. Hyped still to come: Roddy Piper speaks on Dallas Page of The Firm; Said Bam Bam Bigelow (The Firm) vs. Ken Patera is next!)

Match 6

Ken Patera vs. Bam Bam Bigelow (w/ Ted DiBiase) (The Firm)

(Bigelow and DiBiase came to the ring to the song 'Money' by Pink Floyd. They received a mixed crowd reaction. DiBiase was in a suit.

Patera came to the ring to 'There's No Easy Way Out' by Robert Tepper. Solid ovation for Patera as he charged into the ring without slapping hands with the fans.

Bigelow took the match early but Patera was able to strike back offensively and turn it into a see-saw affair. DiBiase had not interfered in the match.

At the end of the match, Bam was on the offensive. Bam dropped Patera with a clothesline. Bam then picked up Patera and hoisted Patera into the air for a suplex but Bam suddenly shifted and suplexed Ken in another direction and Ken collided with the ref on the way down. Ref crashed to the mat. Bam grabbed Ken and started to pull him up as DiBiase reached into his jacket pocket on the floor and brandished his controversial black fingerless glove. DiBiase climbed up on the apron and gestured for Bam to hold Patera. Bam grabbed Patera from behind as DiBiase climbed to the top buckle. Crowd popped as Dusty Rhodes charged to the ring, climbed up on the apron and shoved DiBiase off the top buckle. DiBiase crashed to the floor as the crowd went nuts. Bam tossed down Patera as Rhodes headed over to DiBiase. Bam came over by the ropes and yelled at Dusty as Patera recovered in the ring. Patera to his feet as Bam turned around. Patera nailed Bam with the Russian Hammer. Bam down. Dusty grabbed DiBiase and rammed DiBiase's head into the ringside barricade. Ref still down.

In the ring, Bam got up facing away from Patera and Patera moved in and grabbed Bam in the full nelson. As Dusty pummeled DiBiase on the floor, the black-clad mystery man made his appearance once again, this time from underneath the ring. Just as Patera was about to nail Bam with his full nelson slam finisher, the mystery man climbed into the ring and came up behind Patera and bashed Patera across the back with the crowbar. Patera let go of Bam and stumbled forward and was doubled over. The mystery man struck Patera across the back with the crowbar again. Patera went down and the mystery man bolted the ring and tore back up the aisle. Ted had fought back against Dusty and started to flee the scene with Dusty giving chase. In the ring, Bam went over and put the boots to the downed Patera and maneuvered him into position for a turnbuckle move. Ref starting to regain his senses. Dusty and Ted in the aisle and Dusty pummeling Ted with head shots. Bam nailed Ken with the slingshot splash and covered Ken without hooking the leg. 1.....2.....3! Groggy ref called for the bell. Bam got to his feet and the ref, now on his knees, raised his own hand and pointed at Bam signaling Bam was the victor.

WINNER: Bam Bam - Pinfall - Slingshot Splash - 7:26)

(After the match: Dusty separated from DiBiase when he heard the bell ring. DiBiase staggering in the aisle and holding his head. Dusty ran back to the ring and asked the ref what happened as Bam and Dusty briefly locked eyes and then Bam left the ring to check on Ted, who was unsteady on his feet in the aisle. Announcers noticed that DiBiase had removed the black glove. Dusty had words with the ref and then checked on the downed Patera. Arn, Race and Steve Williams made their way down to the ring. Arn was in his ring attire; Race in his street clothes and Williams appeared to have just gotten out of the shower and was in his jeans and shower shoes. The three started having an animated conversation with the ref about the black-clad mystery man striking again on behalf of a Firm member during a match. Ref again had to point out by gesturing towards his eyes that he saw nothing. As the three engaged in heated discussion with the ref, Patera was now sitting on his ass leaned next to the ropes. Lex Luger, in his ring attire, made his way down to the ring. Lex got in the ring and went over and reached down and pulled Patera to his feet. Luger was talking to Ken and Ken nodded in the affirmative to something Lex said. Lex then went over and got right in the ref's face. Arn, Williams and Race had to pull Lex away from the ref. Luger left the ring and dropped to the floor and went over and demanded the r.a. mic from Lee Marshall. Lex took the mic. Luger stalked around on the floor for a moment.

Lex: "This is getting ridiculous! How many times can you referees miss the interference by this mystery man, huh?! It just seems way too convinient that you sanctioned UWL officials NEVER, and I mean never, see this masked man get involved in matches in which Firm members are wrestling and the guy always helps the wrestlers from The Firm win! I don't have any hard evidence, but I am going to state for the record that I think some of you referees are getting payoffs from Ted DiBiase to look the other way during matches where members of The Firm are involved!"

Referee angrily left the ring and approached Luger. Ref poked Luger in the chest.

Ref: "Lex Luger! Let me tell you, all the other UWL wrestlers and all these fans out here that every UWL referee officiates every single match, no matter who's wrestling in it, in a fair and impartial manner! I don't take kindly to what you are accusing us of! To be a referee in this company, you must pass a rigorous background check! They only want the best! Things happen in the ring that are sometimes out of our control! I called what I saw in that match! I didn't see a man in a mask hit the ring and do anything! I can only call what I see! I think I speak for all of the UWL referees when I say that your baseless accusations are not appreciated!"

Lex: "The evidence that backs up my suspicions is what's gone on in the ring the last few weeks! I stand by my accusation! There's something fishy about some UWL referees...including you!"

Ref blew Luger off and stormed off and headed to the back as a pissed Luger looked on from the floor as Dusty, Ken, Arn, Race and Williams looked on at Luger form the floor.)

(Announcers discussed the Bam beating Patera thanks to help from the black-clad mystery man. Announcers wondered how the mystery man got under the ring since he attacked Race earlier in the evening and fled back up the aisle after the attack. Said Roddy Piper was here next!)

(Annoucners hyped for next week on 'Slam!':

- Dusty Rhodes vs. ??? of The Firm (If Dusty wins, he gets to pick the stips for his match with Bam Bam in two weeks!)

- Special edition of 'Maury' as Maury Povich reads the results of a DNA test to see if ring announcer Lee Marshall is indeed the father of Daphne's baby(?) Isabelle.

AND MORE!

'Slam!' - Tuesdays - FX - 9:30pm E/P)

(Announcers intro'd video of last week's World Title re-match between Ted DiBiase (WC) of The Firm and Roddy Piper where Piper had DiBiase in the ankle lock and on the verge of defeat when DDP interfered to cost Piper his chance to regain the title and DDP laid Piper out with the Diamond Cutter again.)

(In-ring: Roddy Piper promo.

Bagpipe music filled the arena and the fans roared as Piper, in street clothes and carrying a mic, made his way to the ring. Piper slapped hands with some fans on the way to the ring. Once in the ring, Piper briefly played to the fans.

RP: "As far as I'm concerned, Ted DiBiase didn't beat me for the World Title at 'Heatwave'. Dallas Page beat me for the World Title at 'Heatwave'! And last week, Dallas Page saved Ted DiBiase from losing the World Title back to me! Ted DiBiase! I want you to know that I'm not going away! I will hunt you like a predator, mister! There will be another title match between you and me! And Dallas Page won't figure in the outcome because I'll make sure he doesn't!"

Crowd cheered.

RP: "'Heatwave' marked a big shift in the UWL's war with The Firm! There's no way around that fact! The Firm now has the edge and it is a big edge! But this war is still far from over! We in the UWL have to re-group and fight with all we have and liberate all those championships from The Firm! Failure is not an option here! The Firm has stepped up their game and they are aiming for their biggest prize of all...taking control of the UWL! Regaining that World Title is at the top of my priority list! But I need to concentrate on something else, or should I say someone else, first! That man is Dallas Page!

"You fooled us all, Dallas! Every wrestler on the UWL roster thought you had changed for the better! We believed in you! But at 'Heatwave' and on 'Slam!' last week, you proved you're just a con-man! You said that you've decided to side with The Firm because you believe that they will ultimately win this war! Big mistake! You say the UWL isn't united in this war against The Firm! You have greatly misjudged the situation, Dallas! The UWL is more unified than it has ever been! And that unity will only grow stronger now that we have reached a critical mass in this war! The UWL side realizes all that's at stake here! It's either win or suffer crushing defeat! There is no middle ground! With that in mind, Dallas, you might just find yourself on the losing side of history!"

Dallas Page, in street clothes, came out on the entrance stage with mic in hand. He got more boos than cheers. DDP made his way to the ring and feigned like he was going to slap hands with some fans and then pulled his hand away at the last minute. DDP got in the ring.

DDP: "Roddy, Roddy Roddy. I did what I had to do to you. In war, there's a winner and there's a loser. Like you just said, there's no middle ground here. You can come out here and spin it however you want about how unified the UWL is. C'mon! Who are you fooling here?! You know the UWL is in chaos! You guys don't trust each other! You don't know if another member of the UWL roster is going to turn and join The Firm! The Firm is united, man! They've got a ganeplan that is second to none! We're all on the same page! The UWL, ha, it's a mess! You guys have fought these dis-unified battles against The Firm! Even with your side's internal problems, you have put up a pretty good fight! But, the UWL side has never had 100% true unity! You guys fight with each other backstage just as much as you fight with The Firm! What kind of winning plan is that?! Like you, Rod, I was on the UWL side for 2-1/2 years! Why lie to yourself?! Why lie to these people?! It's just a matter of time before The Firm finally plants their victory flag in this corpse of the UWL!"

RP: "You are nothing more than a traitor, Dallas! You should have stuck with us! You sold your soul for the 30 pieces of silver that DiBiase gave you to betray us!"

DDP: "I may be a traitor in your eyes, Roddy, but if I'm a traitor, then I'm a traitor that's joined the winners! And Ted DiBiase is paying me a lot more than 30 pieces of silver, believe me! I am proud of the decision I made to turn my back on you and the UWL! You have no chance of winning because you have no chance at true unity! The Firm is made up of men with a single-minded vision! The UWL side is made of people who are looking out for themselves! You can't win with that mindset, man!"

RP: "There are special places in Hell reserved for people like you, Dallas! What you've done can't be forgiven! The trust you'd built with us is now shattered and it can't be fixed! But, you and me have unfinished business! And I've got the idea how this business is gonna be finished!"

DDP: "Oh! I'm shakin' in my shoes, Roddy! What is this great idea you have?!"

RP: "You've said that we're gonna face-off in this ring in a match! Well, I want that match! And I want it at 'Helloween'!"

DDP and Piper engaged in a staredown as the program faded to black.)

UWL 'SLAM!' WRESTLING - EP. 137 - KALAMAZOO, MI - WINGS STADIUM - 9-3-13 (Live)

(Show Intro)

(Crowd Shots/Pyro)

(Video aired to open the show from last week showing the masked, black-clad mystery man interfering in two matches helping The Firm wrestlers win those matches. After the mystery man helped Bam Bam Bigelow of The Firm defeat Ken Patera, UWL wrestlers Arn Anderson, Steve Williams and Harley Race came to the ring and had words with the ref about the finish. Lex Luger would come out and join them in discussing the matter with the ref and then Luger went out on the floor and took the r.a. mic from Lee Marshall.

Lex: "This is getting ridiculous! How many times can you referees miss the interference by this mystery man, huh?! It just seems way too convinient that you sanctioned UWL officials NEVER, and I mean never, see this masked man get involved in matches in which Firm members are wrestling and the guy always helps the wrestlers from The Firm win! I don't have any hard evidence, but I am going to state for the record that I think some of you referees are getting payoffs from Ted DiBiase to look the other way during matches where members of The Firm are involved!"

Referee angrily left the ring and approached Luger. Ref poked Luger in the chest.

Ref: "Lex Luger! Let me tell you, all the other UWL wrestlers and all these fans out here that every UWL referee officiates every single match, no matter who's wrestling in it, in a fair and impartial manner! I don't take kindly to what you are accusing us of! To be a referee in this company, you must pass a rigorous background check! They only want the best! Things happen in the ring that are sometimes out of our control! I called what I saw in that match! I didn't see a man in a mask hit the ring and do anything! I can only call what I see! I think I speak for all of the UWL referees when I say that your baseless accusations are not appreciated!"

Lex: "The evidence that backs up my suspicions is what's gone on in the ring the last few weeks! I stand by my accusation! There's something fishy about some UWL referees...including you!"

Ref blew Luger off and stormed off and headed to the back as a pissed Luger looked on from the floor as Dusty, Ken, Arn, Race and Williams looked on at Luger from the floor.)

(In-ring: Lex Luger promo.

'Winner Takes It All' by Sammy Hagar played over the p.a. system and Luger came to the ring in street clothes. He received a strong ovation. Luger had a mic. He didn't slap hands with fans on the way to the ring.

Luger walked around in the ring for a moment before speaking.

Lex: "I came out here tonight to apologize. In the week since my tirade against the UWL refs, I've had time to step back and reflect on what I said. I made a serious accusation against the refs without any hard evidence to back it up. I accused some of them of taking bribes from Ted DiBiase of The Firm to look the other way during matches that had members of The Firm in them and allow the masked mystery man to attack UWL wrestlers with a crowbar. It was completely reckless of me to do this. I could have damaged the reputations of men who work hard in the ring to officiate the matches as fairly as possible. I've learned a valuable lesson here. If I'm gonna publicly accuse someone of something, I'll make sure I have the facts first."

Harley Race, in street clothes, came out unannounced to a good ovation. He had a mic.

HR: "Lex! Lex! Lex!"

Race got in to the ring.

HR: "What are you doing?! Last week, after you said what you said about the refs, didn't we UWL wrestlers congratulate you once we got backstage for stating out in the open what we've all been thinking?!"

Lex: "You did, Harley."

HR: "Why the about face, then?! What gives?! The evidence that the ref's might be on the take from The Firm is shown by the fact that they never see this masked man attack UWL wrestlers when they're facing members of The Firm! That's hard evidence right there!"

Lex: "It is not 'hard evidence', as you say! We don't have one solid shred of proof that the refs are intentionally costing UWL wrestlers matches against members of The Firm! Where's the paper trail showing that the ref's have been paid off by DiBiase?! Where's video evidence of a ref taking a bribe, Harley?!"

HR: "You have to see something like a paper trail or video evidence of an official taking a payoff to believe that there's some sort of conspiracy involving the refs going on?! You can see the truth just by observing with your own two eyes what's been happening in the ring lately! This masked man is getting away with murder, Lex! And it has to be because the refs are letting him get away with it!"

Lex: "You have your opinion on the matter and I've changed my opinion in the last week, Harley! Unless I see convincing evidence to the contrary, I'm giving the refs the benefit of the doubt!"

HR: "Hmmm... You know what, Lex? You might be right. Maybe the ref's are completely innocent of what they've been accused of. Maybe someone else is guilty of these attacks. Maybe that someone is...you! Maybe you're the masked man who's attacking UWL wrestlers! Maybe you're on The Firm's payroll!"

Lex: "What?! How can you accuse me of..."

HR: "Your about-face is very suspicious, Lex! Could it be that you're trying to send people on wild goose chases by making accusations against others?! You have all of us on the UWL roster looking one way while you're the one committing these crimes as the masked man?!"

Race dropped his mic and shoved Luger. Luger tossed his mic aside and returned the shove. The two then got nose-to-nose with each other in the ring.

Crowd popped as Arn Anderson, in his ring attire, and Ken Patera, in street clothes, came charging to the ring. Each had a mic. The two quickly got in the ring.

Arn: "All right. Let's just cool down here. Harley, come on, back away. Lex, you do the same thing."

The two men stared at each other for a few more seconds before backing away from each other. Each man picked up his mic.

Arn: "Lex, I have to admit that I was shocked when you came out here tonight and apologized to the UWL refs after the strong statement you made last week. Don't get hot. It just doesn't make any sense. The remarks you made last week had a ring of truth to them when one just steps back and rationally looks at what's going on."

Lex: "Arn! What I said last week about the refs was in the heat of anger! It's not rational to find someone guilty of something without any solid evidence! And Harley! I don't even know what to say! You really hit me below the belt just now!"

Arn: "Let's try to be reasonable here..."

Lex: "Tell Harley to be reasonable! He's the one making the baseless accusations! Where's you evidence, Harley?! Huh?! Where is it?!"

Ken: "Lex! You need to show some respect to a legend like Harley Race! We were all fired up after your speech last week! This turn around by you makes no sense! Unless you are somehow involved in what's been going down with this masked man!"

Lex: "You know what?! Maybe one of you is really the guilty party! Ken and Harley have felt the wrath of the crowbar swung by this masked man! But that doesn't mean you're not taking one for the team, if you will! Maybe one of you two is in bed with The Firm! Hell, maybe both of you are! Ken, you used to be with The Firm! Could you be going back?!"

Ken: "I would never re-join The Firm if my life depended on it! Lex, you're coming across like a desperate man!"

HR: "You got proof, Mr. Loudmouth! Show us your evidence!"

Lex: "Listening to you tonight, Harley, do I need any evidence?! Maybe I just need to look at what's going on and draw my conclusions from that?! Of course, maybe I'm wrong! But who cares?! It's just what I think, right?! No matter how far off-base I might be in those accusations!

"And how about Arn here?! He's not been attacked by this masked man! But he always comes out to complain about the attacks after matches that the masked man's interfered in! How convinient! What do you have to say for yourself, Arn! Looks like I just presented some compelling circumstantial evidence on this matter! Why have you gotten away unscathed, man?! Could it be that you commit these attacks and then run off and change into your regular clothes where no one can see you and come walking out like you're perfectly innocent of these attacks?!"

Arn: "Lex, there's not enough money in the world to buy me off and turn on my friends and allies. We are in a war with The Firm. Because the masked man only attacks when Firm members are wrestling, one has to believe they're orchestrating this whole thing. I'm UWL to the core. I have my honor."

Ken: "Arn, Lex actually makes a good point here. You haven't been attacked. Yet you always come out and complain to the ref after the fact. It's not impossible to think that you could shed the black sweatsuit and come out in your normal attire to make it appear that you had nothing to do with it."

Arn: "Ken, I'm really trying not to lose my cool right now."

HR: "Why would you lose your cool, Arn? Only a guilty man who's been busted would do that?"

The four in the ring then started arguing with each other when Adrian Adonis, DDP, WTTC Scott Hall and Kevin Nash came out on the entrance stage. Nash and Hall were in their ring attire and had the titles around their waists. DDP and Adonis were in their street clothes. Nash had a mic. Mixed crowd reaction.

Nash: "Look at that, ladies and gentlemen! Look at the dissension amongst the UWL wrestlers! Haha! Last week, Dallas Page said that there was dissension in the UWL ranks! And now it's playing out on national TV for all to see! We in The Firm knew you guys couldn't keep a lid on your internal problems! But I do have to admit that I'm suprised at how quickly the problems emerged for public viewing!"

Lex: "What do you guys want?"

Nash: "Why, Lex, we came out here to challenge you four happy UWL campers to a match!"

Pres. Watts then walked out on the entrance stage with mic in hand. He received little crowd reaction.

BW: "I have to admit that I'm not happy with what I've seen go on in that ring with you four. You guys represent the UWL. When we have any dirty laundry, it needs to be aired in private.

"Nash, you guys want a match. I make no bones about it. I side with the UWL in their war with The Firm. Harley, Lex, Arn and Ken, you are four of the UWL's major players. We need unity. We don't need to give The Firm any more of an edge than they may already have at this time. So, next week here on 'Slam!', we're gonna have an 8-man tag. It's gonna be Hall, Nash, Adonis and Page of The Firm vs. Harley Race, Arn Anderson, Ken Patera and Lex Luger! For the sake of the company, I really hope that you on the UWL side in this war can keep it together for this match!")

(Announcers Steve Stack and Joe Pedicino discussed the apparent dissension amongst UWL wrestlers and Watts making a match next week pitting Race, Arn, Lex and Patera of the UWL against Hall and Nash (WTTC), Adonis and DDP of The Firm next week! Then ran down the program: Dusty Rhodes vs. TBA of The Firm (If Dusty wins, he gets to pick the stips for his match next week with Bam Bam Bigelow of The Firm); Pres. Watts has a major announcement for Roddy Piper and DDP; special edition of 'Maury' where host Maury Povich reveals the results of the DNA test proving whether of not ring announcer Lee Marshall is the father of Daphne's 'baby' Isabelle; Greg Valentine vs. Rick Steiner; Arn Anderson vs. Lars Anderson; The Firm makes an appearance; and more.)

Match 1

Missing Link & Lord Humongous (w/ Dark Journey) vs. Wahoo McDaniel (w/ JJ Dillon) & 'Superstar' Graham (w/ Grand Wizard)

(Wahoo and Graham came to the ring with their respective managers to the song 'California Dreamin'. They were booed.

Once in the ring, Graham struck a few bodybuilder poses to more boos.

'Breaking The Law' played over the p.a. system and the fans popped big-time as Lord, Link and Journey made their way to the ring. While coming to the ring, video aired of the confrontation from last week between Lord, Link and Journey and the unholy duo of Grog and the Sacred Anvil and a challenge being made for a match between the two teams.

Link banged his head on the ring post multiple times as Lord climbed up on the ring apron, pounded his chest and pointed at Graham and Wahoo and then stepped over the top rope into the ring. Link climbed into the ring and stomped around.

Good, short match between these two teams. A few near falls. Neither Dillon nor Wizard interfered.

At the end of the match, Lord was on the offensive against Graham. Lord went to whip Graham into the ropes but Graham reversed and caught Lord coming off in the bearhug. Graham tightened up on the hold. Lord started to weaken but found the strength to power up in the hold. Lord caught Graham with a series of head shots. Graham lost his grip on the hold. Lord nailed the stunned Graham with a couple of more head shots and then whipped Graham into the ropes and caught Graham coming off in the gorilla press position. Lord dropped Graham face-first to the mat, hit the ropes and nailed Graham with a diving splash to the back. Lord rolled Graham over and went for the cover and hooked the leg. 1... Wahoo hit the ring to try and break up the pin try but was intercepted by the Missing Link who blasted Wahoo with a flying headbutt that sent Wahoo crashing to the mat by the ropes. ...2...3! Ref called for the bell. Ref raised Lord and Link's hands in victory as Journey applauded from the apron. Lord and Link left the ring and Lord lowered Journey to her feet on the floor. The trio made their way back up the aisle to a nice ovation.

WINNER: Lord & Link - Pinfall - Lord pinned Graham with a Diving Splash to the Back - 6:42)

(Annoucners discussed the impressive victory by Lord and Link over Wahoo and Graham. Hyped still to come: Dusty Rhodes vs. TBA of The Firm (If Dusty wins, he gets to pick the stips for his match next week with Bam Bam Bigelow of The Firm); Pres. Watts has a major announcement for Roddy Piper and DDP; Greg Valentine vs. Rick Steiner; Arn Anderson vs. Lars Anderson; The Firm makes an appearance; and more. Said the special edition of 'Maury' is next!)

(Video aired for the 'Sun Maid Prunes Presents: Helloween' - Sunday - October 13 - Duluth, GA - Arena at Gwinnett Center - 8pm E/5pm P - Tickets on sale NOW!)

(Announcers intro'd edited video of Lee Marshall's interview with Daphne two weeks ago and Daphne accusing Marshall of being the father of her 'baby' Isabelle and Daphne threatening to call Maury Povich to see if Marshall is indeed the father of her 'baby'; and Daphne macing Women's World Champion Madusa last week after Madusa's match and Daphne absconding with the title belt.)

(In-ring: Special edition of 'Maury'.

Three chairs were set up in the ring. Backstage interviewer Larry Nelson was standing in the middle of the ring with mic in hand.

LN: "Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to this special edition of 'Maury'! Here's your host...Maury Povich!"

Theme music from 'Maury' played as Povich came out on the entrance stage and made his way to the ring. He was carrying a manilla envelope and a mic. Maury got in the ring. He received a fair crowd reaction.

MP: "Good evening, folks. Welcome to this special 'Are You The Father' edition of 'Maury' on UWL 'Slam!' Wrestling.

"Tonight, we are going to find out if ring announcer Lee Marshall is indeed the father of Daphne's baby Isabelle. Could Daphne please come on down."

Shreiking laughter accompanied by wild organ music filled the arena as Daphne made her way to the ring. She was pretty strongly booed.

Daphne was dressed in a burlap sack and black combat boots. The sack looked like it had bullet holes in it. Her hair was dyed platinum blonde, had glitter in it and looked as if it had been combed with a firecracker. She was carrying the Women's World Title in one hand and her headless doll Isabelle in the other. Isabelle was in her tattered and torn dress and wearing only one shoe. Maury just looked on at the sight with mouth slightly agape. Maury was sitting in his chair as Daphne got in the ring, walked over to Maury, grabbed his hand and licked the back of it. Maury briefly looked at his hand and then at Daphne as Daphne curtsyed before Maury and then grabbed the mic out of her chair and sat down. Maury was clearly taken aback by it all.

MP: "Sooooooo... You're Daphne?"

Daphne: "Yes, I am. How did you ever guess, Maur? Did my eyes give me away?"

MP: "Ummmm... OK... Let's get on with this, shall we? Daphne, you say that ring announcer Lee Marshall is the father of your child Isabelle. What is the basis for your accusation?"

Daphne: "I believe that Lee Marshall is the father of Isabelle because he told me we once had a fling in Mexico and he looks like Izzy."

MP: "Izzy? You call her Izzy?"

Daphne: "That's short for Isabelle, Maur. She just laughs and laughs and laughs when I call her Izzy!"

MP: "What's with the belt? Are you the Women's World Champion?"

Daphne: "Sort of. He he he!"

MP: "Sort of? Either you are or you aren't, Daphne. Which is it?"

Daphne: "You're gonna love this. Last week, I maced Madusa. She's the Women's World Champion, see. And when she was blind...I took the belt! Hahahahaha! So, I've got the belt! Guess that means I'm the champion! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I STOLE THE BELT! I STOLE THE BELT! I STOLE THE BELT!"

Maury moved around nervously in his chair.

MP: "Hmmm... Ummm... You're making me really uncomfortable, Daphne."

Daphne: "Oh! I'm like, soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry! Would you feel more comfortable if I took off my sack?!"

Many of the men in the crowd started cheering as Daphne stood up and reached down to pull up her sack. Maury put up his hand.

MP: "Uh, Daffy, I mean, Daphne. You don't need to do that."

Daphne: "Why?! Don't you want to see me naked, Maur?!"

More male cheering.

MP: "Three letters. F-C-C. Just sit down now."

Daphne shrugged and sat back down. Some booed Daph's change of heart.

MP: "Now, let's bring out the man you say is the father of Isabelle. Lee Marshall, come on out."

Marshall came to the ring in his ring announcer's tuxedo. He was mildly cheered. Her got in the ring and walked over and shook Maury's hand and then nervously picked up the mic off his chair and nervously sat down next to the glaring Daphne.

MP: "You seem nervous, Lee."

LM: "I am."

MP: "I don't blame you.

"Lee, tell us your side of this story."

Daphne leaned in towards Marshall as he as about to speak. Marshall was bathing in discomfort.

MP: "Daphne, would you please sit back in your seat."

After a few more seconds of eyeing Marshall, Daphne sat back.

LM: "Thank you, Maury. Two weeks ago, I was interviewing Daphne. Out of nowhere she said I was the father of Isabelle. I'd never met Daphne until she started working here in the UWL a few months ago. She said we had some fling in Mexico. That's impossible for the reasons I just mentioned. It's also impossible because of what Isabelle is."

Daphne: "Are you telling me you're a hermaphrodite now?! LIAR!"

Daphne started hissing at Lee Marshall. Marshall shook his head uncomfortably.

MP: "Calm down, Daphne. Lee, what do you mean that it's impossible to be the father of Isabelle because of what Isabelle is? Matter of fact, I've never even seen a picture of Isabelle."

Daphne: "You don't need to see a picture of her, Maur. She's right here."

MP: "Where?"

Daphne held the headless doll up in Maury's face.

Daphne: "Here she is! Here's Isabelle! Isn't she beautiful?! Doesn't she look like Lee Marshall?!"

Daphne held the doll up next to Marshall's face. Maury shook his head in disbelief.

MP: "Let's just get to the results, shall we? I have here in the envelope the results of Lee's DNA test... This is ridiculous. Lee Marshall, common sense says that you are not the father!"

Lee breathed a sigh of relief as Daphne shot up out of her chair.

Daphne: "What do you mean he's not the father?!"

MP: "Daphne. It's a doll. Isabelle is a plastic toy. Look. On the bottom of her foot it says: 'Made In Mexico'."

Daphne: "'Made in Mexico?! You!"

MP: "What?!"

Daphne: "You and me, Maur! We had the fling in Mexico! You're the father of Isabelle! You love me and leave me in a foreign country! You!"

MP: "Daphne! I..."

Daphne: "I don't want to hear excuses! You owe me and your daughter big time! You need to divorce Connie Chung and tell her that you're marrying the mother of your baby Izzy! And we want the money that's coming to us! I know you've got a lot more than Lee Marshall has! Prepare to pay up you..."

Crowd popped as Madusa hit the ring and and tackled Daphne to the mat. Madusa was on top of Daphne and started pounding away on Daphne with head shots. Daphne was down on the mat and holding her head. Madusa grabbed her title up off the chair vacated by Daphne and then took the mic from Maury. Madusa stood over the downed Daphne.

Madusa: "Daphne! For the record, I think you're a total psycho! But if you want a shot at this title then you can have it any time!"

Madusa handed the mic back to Maury, left the ring and walked back up the aisle with belt in hand to cheers as Daphne was still laying on the mat and holding her head.

Maury: "This segment would have really been better suited for Jerry Springer. Good night, all.")

(Announcers discussed the surreal 'Maury' they just witnessed and Madusa coming out and pummeling Daphne and taking back her title. Hyped still to come: Dusty Rhodes vs. TBA of The Firm (If Dusty wins, he gets to pick the stips for his match next week with Bam Bam Bigelow of The Firm); Pres. Watts has a major announcement for Roddy Piper and DDP; Greg Valentine vs. Rick Steiner; The Firm makes an appearance; and more. Said Arn Anderson vs. Lars Anderson is coming up!)

Match 2

Arn Anderson vs. Lars Anderson (w/ Ole)

(Arn came to the ring first to a solid ovation and the song 'The Fight' by Giorgio Moerdor. Arn slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring.

'Al Var Alda' by Wardruna filled the arena and Lars came to the ring with brother Ole. Arn was in his ring attire and Ole was in street clothes. Both were wearing their black satin ring jackets with runes on the sleeves and a life rune on the back with the word 'Anderson' over the life rune. They were strongly booed.

Once in the ring, Ole took the mic from r.a. Marshall.

Ole: "Arn, you're in the ring with your own flesh and blood. Deep down, you know this shouldn't be happening. The Andersons shouldn't be fighting one another. We should be fighting alongside each other as blood kin. Do the right thing, Arn. Just walk away from this match. Show everybody that biological family ties are stronger than any other ties there are."

Arn walked over and requested the mic from Ole. Ole handed it to Arn.

Arn: "Ole, I agree that family is very important. And I would wish for us Andersons to be truly united. But we disagree on how things should be done now. In the past things would have been different. I'm not bound by some sort of mystical Viking blood oath. The people I consider family are those who I know I can trust and they can trust me. It's not about the blood for me. I'm not walking away. Lars, let's wrestle."

Arn handed the mic back to a steaming Ole. Ref ordered Ole out of the ring to the floor. Ole had a few words off-mic for Arn as Lars looked on. Ole finally left the ring and dropped to the floor. Ref called for the bell to start the match.

Good battle between two cousins. About half-way through the match, Arn was near the ropes and lifting Lars up for a suplex when Ole reached into the ring and tripped Arn up and Arn toppled to the mat with Lars on top of him. 1...2... Arn kicked out. Ole and Lars got to their feet and Arn looked out at Ole. Lars attacked Arn from behind and took control. Buzz Tyler, in street clothes, came to the ring to a decent ovation. Buzz was on the floor and watching Arn's back. Ole came over and stood a few feet away from Tyler and started yelling at Tyler as Tyler kept an eye on Ole.

At the end of the match, Lars had basically domninated Arn since Ole tripped up Arn. Lars whipped Arn into the ropes and caught Arn coming off in a fireman's carry position and transitioned fluidly into a Minnesota Wrecker (aka, Samoan Drop). Ole came over to within a few feet of Tyler and pointed in the ring and started jawing at Tyler as Tyler had words for Ole as Lars covered Arn. 1...2...2-1/2... Arn kicked out. Tyler looked over and saw Arn kick out and pointed it out to Ole. Ole couldn't believe it. Tyler and Ole then got in each other's faces as Lars went to whip Arn into the ropes but Arn reversed and caught Lars coming off with a spinning spinebuster. Crowd popped as Arn made the throat-slashing gesture. The argument continued on the floor as Arn picked up Lars and nailed Lars with the gourdbuster. Arn covered Lars and hooked the leg. 1... Ole turned and saw what was happening and went to try and climb into the ring but Tyler grabbed Ole by the back of the belt and yanked Ole back on the floor back-first into the ringside barricade, briefly stunning Ole. ...2...3! Ref called for the bell as the fans cheered heartily. Arn got to his feet and the ref raised his hand in victory.

Arn left the ring and dropped to the floor and came over by Tyler as an angry Ole glared at the pair. Tyler raised Arn's hand in victory right in front of Ole as the crowd cheered some more before Arn and Tyler headed back up the aisle.

WINNER: Arn - Pinfall - Gourdbuster - 5:21)

(Announcers discussed Arn defeating cousin Lars and Tyler coming to Arn's aid after Ole had interfered and tripped up Arn during the match. Hyped still to come: Dusty Rhodes vs. TBA of The Firm (If Dusty wins, he gets to pick the stips for his match next week with Bam Bam Bigelow of The Firm); Pres. Watts has a major announcement for Roddy Piper and DDP; Greg Valentine vs. Rick Steiner; and more. Said The Firm is coming up!)

(In-ring: The Firm promo.

'Money' played over the p.a. system and all eight members of The Firm came to the ring. Bam Bam, Schultz (TVC), Rude (PC), Hall & Nash (WTTC) were in their ring attire. Adonis and DDP were in street clothes and DiBiase was in a suit with the World Title slung over his shoulder. Usual mixed crowd reaction.

DiBiase, Bam Bam, DDP and Nash had mics.

Nash: "What you witnessed at the beginning of the program tonight was a very public sign that the UWL side is imploding! They don't trust one another! Where's the unity?! There is no unity there! Which side has a long-term plan?! The Firm does! You are seeing the end of the UWL right before your very eyes! If you want the UWL to win the war with The Firm, you may want to consider changing sides and soon! The UWL is headed for a crushing defeat! You people need to start accepting that...now! How much longer can they hold out?! How much longer can they fight on when they're in a total state of disarray?! They may hang on for a few more...what...weeks...months?! The foundation under the UWL side is now crumbling rapidly! The mask has come off! The unified front that they've desperately wheeled out before you is just a mirage! We've got all the gold! Pretty soon, we'll own the UWL lock, stock and barrel!"

Bam Bam: "Dusty Rhodes! I know you have to be wondering who you're facing tonight! But I'm not letting the cat out of the bag! You'll know your opponent at match time! Which member of The Firm is it, Dusty?! Who amongst these seven men will be wrestling you! How could you prepare properly for the match when you have no idea who you're stepping in the ring with?! Your odds, Dusty, aren't very good this evening! You are battling a member of the elite! Keep that in mind! You aren't gonna be making the stipulations for our match next week!"

DDP: "Well said, Kevin! The UWL footsoldiers are living on borrowed time! 'Heatwave' was THE turning point in this war, man! Only a miracle could change the outcome now! And I don't believe the UWLers have any miracles that can save them from defeat! They don't have some sort of secret weapon that they can wheel out here and be a game changer! I've heard owner KD Smith is very concerned by what he's seeing happen in his company right now! He should be worried! He may never admit it publicly, but KD Smith can feel the wrestling company he created slipping out of his grasp! He knows the clocking is ticking on him and the UWL as you've known it for almost three years!

"Later tonight, President Watts has a major announcement! From what I've heard from a reliable source, the announcement has something to do with Roddy Piper challenging me to a match at 'Helloween' last week! I'm sure Watts and the UWL Match-Making Committee have come up with something big for our match! And I'm not worried about what it is at all! They can make whatever kind of match they want! I'm already with the winners! I'm beating Roddy Piper at 'Helloween' and the UWL will continue to come apart at the seams!"

"Now! It is my honor and my pleasure to introduce to you the man who changed my life! He is a great leader of men! I give you...Firm Director Ted DiBiase!"

DiBiase shook hands with DDP.

TD: "Have you ever seen so much gold in one place in all of your life?! The Firm is the Fort Knox of professional wrestling!

"Dusty Rhodes! If you ever lay your hands on me again like you did last week, I promise that you will pay a heavy price for it! The Firm will rain down its wrathe upon you! And you will only stop feeling that wrath when I order it stopped! You need to think long and hard about that, Dusty! Do the right thing for your own long-term health!

"Roddy Piper! You seem to be quite the marked man these days! You had me in your ankle lock two weeks ago here on 'Slam!' The title was slipping away from me! But then DDP, one of the sharpest minds in this business, derailed your chances at becoming a two-time UWL World Champion! I'll admit it! I will do whatever I have to to hold onto the World Title! The Firm will do everything necessary to make sure all these titles remain ours! I don't care what anyone thinks of that! The Firm is now on the floor just below the penthouse in the UWL Tower! Soon, we will be occupying the penthouse! Owner KD Smith will be kicked to the curb! The Firm will reign and rule over the UWL from on high!

"KD Smith! I have a message just for you! Next week I'm gonna be at 'Slam!'! Why don't you grow a pair and come to the show and let's talk business! And you know what business I'm talking about! We can still solve this matter peacefully, KD! I speak for everyone in The Firm when I say we would love to end this war without any major problems! Let's do this in a gentlemanly fashion! We'll come out on national TV, KD, I'll make you an offer you can't refuse for the company and then you quietly vacate the UWL and get on with whatever it is that you do in life and I'll put my name on the big door of the really big office at the UWL headquarters in Seattle! KD, I have more than a fair offer that I'll present to you next week! Go ahead and think about it for the next seven days! Just remember to give me the right answer, KD! We all know what it is! Take the money and run! Look at how your company is unraveling! Do you really want to continue running this mess?! Sell it to a group that can make the UWL bigger than it's ever been! I fully expect to see you next Tuesday, KD! I'll have the check with me!")

(Announcers discussed The Firm's promos. Said Rick Steiner vs. Greg Valentine was coming up!)

(Backstage: Larry Nelson interviewed Dusty Rhodes.

Dusty was in his ring attire.

LN: "Dusty, tonight you're facing a member of The Firm who will be chosen by Bam bam Bigelow. If you win, you get to choose the stipulations for your match next week with Bam Bam. Are you worried about not knowing who your opponent is tonight until the match?"

DR: "Larry Nelson, I don't care which member of The Firm is trotted out to the ring to face me! I'll take on any of them anywhere, jack! The bottom line here is winning! I win tonight and Bam Bam and the 'American Dream' are rumbling next week in a match of my choosing!"

LN: "Last week you said that you already had the type of match picked out for you and Bam Bam should you win tonight but you wouldn't reveal what it was. Care to fill us in right now?"

DR: "I can't do it, Larry! I want to see the look on Bam Bam's face when I announce the type of match we're gonna have! So, I'm keeping it close to the vest right now! The only thing I can say is that next week's match will be even more brutal and more bloody than our match at 'Heatwave' if I get my way!")

(Announcers discussed the Dusty interview. Hyped still to come: Dusty Rhodes vs. TBA of The Firm (If Rhodes wins, he gets to choose the stips for his match next week against Bam bam Bigelow; Pres. watts has a major announcement concerning DDP and Roddy Piper; amd more. Said Greg Valentine vs. Rick Steiner was coming up next!)

Match 3

Rick Steiner vs. Greg Valentine (w/ Gary Hart)

(Valentine and Hart came to the ring to the song 'All Along The Watchtower' by Hendrix. They were booed.

Steiner came out to 'Welcome To The Jungle' and was greeted by a solid ovation. Steiner ran down to ringside and ran around ringside and was barking and slapping hands with fans. Fans barked back at Steiner. Steiner then climbed into the ring and ran around and barked some more as the crowd barking continued as well.

Good match between these two with some exciting action and near falls. Steiner had Valentine on the ropes late in the match, but Valentine prevailed in the end by forcing Steiner to tap out to the figure four.

WINNER: Valentine - Submission - Figure Four - 6:47)

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

GV: "At 'Heatwave', I gave it everything I had against Steve Williams! I did everything I needed to do to win the match! But I didn't win the match! And I'm still pissed about that! It should have been me having my hand raised in victory at 'Heatwave'! But instead it was Steve Williams! My business is not yet finished with you, Williams! I should be standing out here basking in the glow of a victory over you at 'Heatwave'! But I'm not! And my blood is boiling over that fact!"

OU fight song played and out came Williams in a red and white OU warm-up suit on the entrance stage. He got a strong ovation. Williams had a mic.

SW: "Greg Valentine. You say you should have been the winner in our match at 'Heatwave'. While it was a tough match, in the end, it looks like I had just a little bit more intestinal fortitude than you and that's why I won. You pulled out all the stops, Greg, and I still emerged victorious. And that really bothers you, doesn't it?"

GV: "You bet it still bothers me! I've lost sleep over it! What I want, Steve, is a chance to get my win back! I know! I know if we get in this ring again, I will finish the job next time! It shouldn't have come to this, but it has!"

Pres. Watts came out unannounced with mic in hand. Minimal crowd response.

BW: "Greg, I must say that it brings a smile to my face to see you out hear whining about losing to Steve Williams at 'Heatwave'. Steve is one of the toughest SOB's in this business. And I know he wouldn't have a problem facing you in a re-match."

SW: "I have no problems with it at all, Bill."

BW: "So, next week, here on 'Slam!', Greg, you will get the chance to get your win back. It's gonna be Steve Williams vs. Greg Valentine in a 'Heatwave' re-match! Let's hook 'em up!"

Long-distance staredown between Williams and Valentine as the segment ended.)

(In-ring: Pres. Watts promo.

BW: "I have some announcements to make. First, I have just been on the phone with UWL owner KD Smith. He will be hear next week and will confront Ted DiBiase of The Firm!"

Fair amount of cheers.

BW: "Last week, Roddy Piper challenged Dallas Page to a match at the 'Helloween' pay-per-view. The UWL Match-Making Committee has made a decision as to what will go down between Piper and Page at 'Helloween'. I need Dallas Page to come to the ring."

'Money' played over the p.a. system and DDP came to the ring in street clothes. He got a mixed crowd reaction. DDP got in the ring and stood on the middle buckle and made the Diamond Sign. DDP had a mic.

BW: "Roddy Piper, come on out."

Bagpipe music filled the arena and Piper came to the ring to a solid ovation. Piper slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring. He was in his kilt, t-shirt and ring boots and was carrying a mic. He slapped hands with some fans on the way to the ring. Piper got in the ring and walked over and got in DDP's face. He and DDP had some words off-mic as Watts came over.

BW: "Alright, men. There's gonna be nothing physical between you two tonight."

The two stared each other down a little and then DDP walked away and turned to the crowd and made the Diamond sign again to some boos from the crowd.

DDP: "President Watts! Let's get this show onthe road, man! The 'Diamond' has a party to attend! What did the match-making committee come up with for me and Piper here?!"

BW: "They have come up with the matches you guys are gonna have at 'Helloween'."

DDP: "That's great! Tell us what the match... Whoa! Did you say matches between me and Piper at 'Helloween'?!"

RP: "That's what he said, 'Diamond' Dallas Dumbass! Matches! Plural!"

DDP: "Shut up, Piper! I think I misunderstood you, Watts! Certainly, you meant a match, as in a singular match?!"

BW: "Dallas, I said matches, plural."

RP: "There you go, dumbass! Can't you hear?!"

DDP started to move in Piper's direction and Watts stepped in.

BW: "Don't take another step, Dallas."

DDP: "Tell him to quit calling me dumabass! I'm a member of The Firm and I demand respect!"

RP: "OK. OK. I won't call you dumbass anymore."

DDP: "That's more like it."

RP: "Asswipe."

DDP was ready to move on Piper again.

BW: "Dallas! Step back! There will be no violence between you two this evening and that's final!

"At 'Helloween', Dallas and Roddy, you will be facing each other in the 'Three Faces of Terror'! The first match will be an Iron Man match. The winner of the most falls within the time-limit will be the winner of the match! The second match will be a Falls Count Anywhere match! And the third and final match between you two at 'Helloween' will be an 'I Quit' match! The only way to win will be to force your opponent to say 'I Quit' into a microphone so everyone in the arena and watching on TV can hear it! And we must hear an 'I Quit'! That's what's on-tap for you! Get ready to hook 'em up at 'Helloween'!"

Watts turned and left the ring and dropped to the floor as DDP and Piper had a brief staredown in the ring. Piper turned to leave but DDP dropped his mic and spun Piper around and went for a Diamond Cutter but Piper shoved DDP off before DDP could hit the move. The two briefly locked eyes and Watts was looking on from the floor. DDP picked up his mic.

DDP: "Don't worry, Piper. I'm not gonna hurt you tonight. I'll save that for 'Helloween'."

RP: "I don't like traitors. At 'Helloween', Dallas, I'm gonna personally show you what they do to traitors in this country. And I'm gonna do it in triplicate!"

Brief staredown before DDP left the ring as Piper kept his eyes locked on the treacherous Page as he started to head back up the aisle, turning to look back at Piper along the way.)

KN: "As I was watching this match on a monitor backstage, one big question entered my mind! What's really under the mask of Lord Humongous, eh?! Does he look like some slasher film monster?! Is he hideously deformed?! Is he normal looking?! What is it?! What's under there?! No one has ever seen Lord Humongous without his mask on! Why is it such a big secret about what he looks like?! What are you ashamed of, Humongous?! Are you a wanted felon?! Is that why you wear the mask?! You've got a lot of people who want to see what you really look like, bro! That mask is coming off of you! Bank on it!"

Lord looked on with very little reaction as Nash briefly stared at him and then turned and left the ring and headed back up the aisle.)

Dusty held up the cowbell.

DR: "Normally, cowbells are used for one of two things. To keep track of cows and for fans to wave at sporting events! But tonight, I'm gonna use this cowbell as a lethal weapon! I'm gonna smash it over the head of Bam Bam Bigelow and make him bleed like a stuck pig! And then I'm gonna batter him with it some more! This is not gonna be a match for the faint of heart! There's no escape for either of us! We'll be attached by the wrist to the bullrope! Bam Bam Bigelow! I'm gonna bust you up with the cowbell and then tie you up like a wild steer, jack! Get ready!
