"Big" Jim Hess: Welcome to SMW Genesis!!! I am your host, Big Jim Hess!!! We have a great event for our return event. All 4 championships will be on the line, including the giant main event where "Nature Boy" Ric Flair puts his SMW Heavyweight Title on the line against both Hollywood Hogan and "The Icon" Sting!!!!! Sting looks to capture his 3rd reign as champion, while Hollywood Hogan looks to capture his 1st title in the SMW. Plus a whole lot more!! Let's head to the ring!!!!!!!
Christopher Daniels defeats Terry Taylor with THE BEST MOONSAULT EVER.The battle of 2 former SMW TV champions was fast and furious including a 2nd referee coming to the ring. Both men hit their finishers on 3 occasions before Daniels picks up the victory!!!
(Combined 10 tokens)
Hess: What a great way to get back into the SMW with a fast-paced action. We are off to a great start!!!
Barry Windham w/ Bobby Heenan defeats Jerry Lawler (c) by DQ when Lawler rams Windham into the ringpost.A decent battle that ended quickly when the action spilled outside of the ring. The Horsemen win the battle but the belt stays with Lawler.
The Disciple defeats Johnny Rodz with the RUNNING STOMP.A pretty easy win for The Disciple as he seemed to be toying with Rodz as he could not get anything going. Scott Norton comes out to the ringside area and raises the hand of The Disciple as the nWo theme blared throughout the arena.
The Brain Busters w/ Bobby Heenan and Super Friends (Chris Hero/Mike Quackenbush) battle to a DOUBLE DQ.A fast paced battle that ends when Tully hits Quack with a foreign object for the second time in the match. Hero had had enough and grabs a chair and the then Arn does the same and the referee has no choice but to call for the bell.
Hess: A nice between the former tag champions and the newcomers the Super Friends. I look forward to seeing more of this young team in the future. A frustrated Lawler saves his title, but for how long? A lot of people are gunning for that Memphis title!!
Scott Norton defeats Ole Anderson w/ Bobby Heenan w/ the JURASSIC BREAKER.Heenan was a little too active in this one, being sent back to the dressing room relatively early in the match. The 2 warriors waged on, and Norton manages to pick up the win for the nWo.
Hess: Some great action so far as The Horsemen seem to be having a hard time so far, while the nWo has picked up 2 wins. Speaking of controversial groups, let's head to Bill Apter in The Hot Seat with SMW TV Champion Bob Sapp.........
"The Hot Seat" with Bill ApterApter: Welcome to the hot seat. We have a very controversial guest here, the SMW TV Champion Bob Sapp. Mr. Sapp, The Black Panthers almost caused the SMW to go under, yet somehow you and your bodyguard Mr. Hughes are allowed to stay in SMW. You should have been stripped of the belt for what your group did.....
Sapp: Me stripped? Ernie Ladd should be fighting in the main event instead of Sting and Hogan. This is an outrage!!
Apter: Quite frankly, you being allowed to keep that belt is the real outrage! I can't wait until you are out of here with your buddy there.....
(As soon as that got out of Apter's mouth, Mr. Hughes grabs Apter by the collar and lifts him up. Security rushes to the scene to rescue Apter, along with Commissioner King.)Commissioner King: I see you haven't changed Sapp. Our legal battle with the Panthers continues. As soon as you lose that SMW TV title, you and Mr. Hughes are BOTH out of SMW until our legal battles are resolved. Now go get ready for your match!!!
(Commissioner King leaves the interview area visibly upset.)"American Dream" Dusty Rhodes defeats Sabu w/ the BIONIC ELBOW.A great match in the long awaited return of one of the most popular men in the territory, that was a speed vs power match. A missed TRIPLE JUMP MOONSAULT followed by consecutive BIONIC ELBOWS by Rhodes spelled the end for Sabu in this one. (Combined 9 tokens)
The Mountie w/ Jimmy Hart defeats Bob Sapp w/ Mr. Hughes by pinfall after the use of the SHOCK STICK to become the NEW SMW TV Champion!!!The crowd booed both men throughout the match, but Hart was the difference in this one. While Mr. Hughes was arguing with the referee over Jimmy Hart getting involved in the match, Hart slides The Mountie the shock stick and we have a new TV Champion!!!!
(The crowd sings along with the PA system as it plays "Hit the road, Jack" as Sapp and Mr. Hughes are out of the SMW!!)Hess: Wow........The Mountie captures his 2nd reign as TV champion, while Bob Sapp joins the rest of the Black Panthers on the outside of SMW!!!!
"Ravishing" Rick Rude defeats Diamond Dallas Page by CO.A good match until Larry Sharpe comes out to the ring to distract Page. He comes out of the ring and argues with Sharpe, and then Rude delivers a RUDE AWAKENING on the cement floor, and Page cannot answer the 10 count. After the match, Bobby Heenan comes out and argues with Sharpe apparently over him helping his guy Rude in the win.
Hess: Well, I am not sure what this is all about. Rude has helped the Horsemen in recent weeks, but he is not officially a Horsemen. It should be interesting on how this plays out in the weeks to come.
Sin City Playboys ("Playboy Buddy Rose/Austin Idol) w/ Larry Sharpe defeat The Mongols when Buddy Rose pins Bepo after the BOMBS AWAY.Rose grabs the mic and complains about how they have to "slum it" versus a physically unattractive team like The Mongols. The Mongols started fast, but the action broke down and all 4 men were in the ring. After Geeto was thrown out of the ring, the Playboys double team Bepo and eventually pick up the win.
The Steiner Brothers (c) and The Outsiders battle to a DOUBLE DQ.The Outsiders had Rick hurt pretty bad but could not put him away. He manages to tag in Scott, and he is on fire, battling both opponents. Rick joins the fray and they are all in the ring. The referee has no other choice but to call for the bell. The fans are upset with the decision, as they chant LET THEM FIGHT.
Hess: What a war!! This one is not over, as the nWo fails to capture the title against the long time champions The Steiner Bros. Jimmy Hart tries to stay perfect as his man The Honky Tonk Man takes on Curt Hennig, and then on to the main event!!!
Curt Hennig defeats Honky Tonk Man by DQ when Hart gets caught interfering in the match.The action was pretty even until Hennig hits THE AXE and goes for the pin. Hart distracts the referee, but the referee sensed something was wrong when he caught Honky hitting Hennig with a vicious GUITAR SHOT. After the match, The Mountie comes down to the ring and they both deliver a SPIKE PILEDRIVER on Hennig. Hennig looks hurt really bad as the medical staff rushes out. The crowd boos all 3 men as they leave the ring area.
Hess: My gosh, Hart and his men are despicable!!! A very popular star in Curt Hennig carried out on a stretcher........ Those 2 men will get theirs in the near future, i guarantee that!!!! On to our main event!!!! Flair vs Hogan vs Sting in an elimination match for the SMW Heavyweight Championship!!!
MAIN EVENT: SMW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP ELIMINATION MATCHSting pins Hollywood Hogan with the ONE HANDED BULLDOG to eliminate the first man from the match.All 3 men were battling in the ring for several minutes before the first man fell. Flair and Hogan were doing battle while Sting was recovering against the turnbuckle. Hogan clotheslines Flair over the top rope, and then Sting attacks Hogan delivering the final blow to eliminate Hogan from the match. (Hogan 8 tokens)
Sting makes Flair submit to the SCORPION DEATHLOCK to become the NEW SMW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!!!!The crowd went wild when Sting pinned Hogan, and Sting turned and acknowledged the crowd. That gave Flair the chance he needed to get back into the match. Flair worked on the legs of Sting, but he had taken a lot of punishment earlier in the match. Sting manages to get the upper hand on Flair outside the ring, and that was the break he needed. He traps Flair in the SCORPION DEATHLOCK in the center of the ring, and Flair has no choice but to tap out and we have a new champion!!!! (Flair 6 tokens)
Hess: Wow, what an event!!!! 2 championships change hands, including Sting becoming a 3-time SMW Heavyweight Champion!!! Plus the return of Dusty Rhodes, the last of the Black Panthers exiled from SMW, plus a whole lot more!!!! How will the nWo handle not capturing any gold?? How do the Horsemen react after a tough night??? And what will be done about Jimmy Hart's men with their controversial uses of weapons in both their matches?? Tune into Smoky Mountain Saturday to see how things develop!!!!
