It's now time for this week's edition of Friday Night Smackdown! note; There is no edition of Thursday Night RAW this week because the RAW brand is instead presenting the PPV Unforgiven on Sunday.

- Afterward, Mr, Canada grabbed one of the 2 X 4's in the ring and forced Duggan back into a turnbuckle and forced him to remain there by pressing the 2X4 against Duggan's neck as The Mountie repeatedly zapped Duggan with his SHOCK STICK until MLW Chairman Bruno Sammartino arrived to stop the 2 on 1 assault.
- Sammartino then told Mr. Canada that he will no longer be able to avoid Duggan's challenges for a match against him because he's going to schedule a match between Duggan and Mr. Canada at No Mercy!
-Backstage: Followed by Kowalski, Dr. Death roams the corridors looking for someone else to attack when he spots a TV tuned into the feed from the arena's big screen showing Giant Baba being congratulated for last week's victory over Williams by his (Baba's) fellow countrymen Tiger Mask and Jushin Liger. Clenching his fists, Dr. Death goes to look for Baba and his friends.
Match #5: Jushin Liger defeated Tiger Mask.

Match #6: Ivan Koloff (accompanied by Nikolai Volkoff, The Terrible Turk, and Nikita Breznikov) defeated Antonino Rocca.
- This match ended when Koloff got away with attacking Rocca with his chain because Volkoff, The Terrible Turk, and Breznikov distracted the referee. Koloff then immediately applied his dreaded RUSSIAN BEARHUG for the victory.
- But the television announcers reminded all the viewers that chains will be legal in Rocca and Koloff's upcoming Russian steel chain match at No Mercy.
Match #7: Antonio Inoki (accompanied by Giant Baba) defeated George Hackenschmidt (accompanied by Johnny Valentine and Larry Zbyszko).

- Inoki won this match via his OCTOPUS HOLD.
- Afterward, Inoki and Baba got triple teamed by Hackenschmidt, Valentine, and Zbyszko until MLW Chairman Bruno Sammartino arrived to break things up and say he has yet another match at No Mercy to announce: At No Mercy it will be Giant Baba, Antonio Inoki, and a partner of their choice vs The Horsemen: Johnny Valentine, George Hackenschmidt, and Larry Zbyszko in a 6 man tag elimination match!

Match #9, the main event: Buddy Rogers defeated Dan "The Beast" Severn in a match with guest special referee MLW Champion and United States Champion Frank Gotch.
- This match featured all 3 competitors (Gotch, Rogers, and Severn) in the upcoming main event two titles two falls triple threat match at No Mercy for Gotch's United States Championship and for Gotch's MLW Championship.
- Gotch immediately upset Rogers at the start of the match when one of the first things he did was order Rogers' fellow Horsemen Valentine, Hackenschmidt, and Zbyszko to return to the locker room instead of staying at ringside for this match.
- This match ended when Rogers gave Severn his infamous FIGURE FOUR GRAPEVINE and Gotch had no choice but to award the match to Rogers as Severn tapped out.
- But afterward Rogers bragged to Gotch that he would do the same thing at No Mercy to either Gotch or Severn and leave No Mercy with Gotch's titles which led to Gotch suddenly giving Rogers his GOTCH TOEHOLD while Severn simultaneously gave Rogers a WAKIGATAME. Both Gotch and Severn maintained their finishing holds on Rogers until Rogers' fellow Horsemen Valentine, Hackenschmidt, and Zbyszko were able to get to the ring and chase them off.
End of Show.
See you on Sunday when Major League Wrestling's (MLW's) RAW brand presents Unforgiven!

Post by Vegas on Sept 14, 2008 12:06:26 GMT -5
It's now time for the RAW brand of Major League Wrestling to present the PPV Unforgiven!
Unforgiven was preceded by a 30 minute edition of Major League Wrestling: Fight Night which recapped all the major storylines leading up to tonight's PPV and included the following dark match:
Dark Match: Justin Credible defeated S.D. Jones via THAT'S INCREDIBLE
Major League Wrestling (MLW) Unforgiven Presented by MLW's RAW brand Sunday September 14, 2008 The Major League Wrestling Arena Las Vegas, NV (First Half of the show)
Match #1: Ray Stevens defeated Pepper Gomez in a ladder match.
- In this match, Gomez was looking for revenge against Stevens who last month intentionally injured Gomez's neck while jumping off of a ladder during Gomez's Cast Iron Stomach Challenge. But Stevens won this match surprisingly easy when he placed the ladder on top of a fallen Gomez and then landed on both the ladder and Gomez with a death jump which allowed Stevens to climb up the ladder to grab the metal rod to win the match.
* (out of 4 stars)
Match #2: Missing Link defeated Cowboy Bob Orton Jr.
- In this match, Orton Jr was looking for revenge against the Missing Link who two weeks ago on RAW defecated in Orton Jr's cowboy hat. But in this match, the Missing Link continuously managed to reverse Orton Jr's attempted offense and won via his BACKFLYING HEADBUTT.
*1/2 (out of 4 stars)
Match #3: Greg Valentine and Brutus Beefcake (managed by Johnny Valiant) defeated Killer Bees, Yukon Eric and Cousin Luke, and the Vachons in an elimination tag #1 contender's match.
- First Elimination: Killer Bees when Yukon Eric put Jim Brunzell away via KODIAK KRUNCH
- Second Elimination: Yukon Eric and Cousin Luke when Greg Valentine pinned Yukon Eric via falling elbow hammer.
- Third (final) Elimination: Vachons when Brutus Beefcake pinned Butcher Vachon via a running stomp.
- As a result, Greg Valentine and Brutus Beefcake will get a shot at the MLW Tag Team Championship on an upcoming episode of RAW against whoever wins later tonight in the best 2 out of 3 falls match between MLW Tag Team Champions New Age Outlaws and the Fabulous Kangaroos for the MLW Tag Team Championship.
*** (out of 4 stars)
Backstage: As Cruiserweight Champion Playboy Buddy Rose makes his way to the ring for his title defense against Gorgeous George, Iron Mike DiBiase calls Rose "fat boy" and said that he hopes George defeats him (Rose) tonight so that an actual cruiserweight will become Cruiserweight Champion.
Match #4: Gorgeous George defeated Playboy Buddy Rose to win the Cruiserweight Championship.
- George won this match via an airplane spin and while holding the ropes for extra leverage to win his first-ever title in Major League Wrestling.
- As a result, George will defend his new Cruiserweight Championship against Hardcore Hodge at No Mercy on October 5th as the Cruiserweight Championship due to its weight clause is the only title in Major League Wrestling defended on both RAW and Smackdown.
** (out of 4 stars)
Match #5: Diamond Dallas Page defeated Ed "Strangler" Lewis
- The Strangler controlled most of the action in this match but DDP got the win when he suddenly deflected a head scissors from Lewis and then hit Lewis with a discus clothesline for the 3 count.
** (out of 4 stars)
End of First Half. Unforgiven's Second Half will be posted later today and includes: Bruiser Brody and Jimmy Snuka vs Magnificent Perfection in a tornado match, Bobo Brazil vs The Sheik in a dog collar match, MLW Tag Team Champions New Age Outlaws vs Fabulous Kangaroos in a best 2 out of 3 falls match for the MLW Tag Team Championship, Intercontinental Champion Jim Londos vs Rick Rude for the Intercontinental Championship, and The Crusher and Mil Mascaras vs World Champion Nick Bockwinkel and Harley Race in an elimination match for the World Championship!

Major League Wrestling (MLW) Unforgiven Presented by MLW's RAW brand Sunday September 14, 2008 The Major League Wrestling Arena Las Vegas, NV (Second Half of the show, First Half is posted above)
Match #6: Magnificent Perfection (managed by Ladies Champion Sherri Martel) defeated Bruiser Brody and Jimmy Snuka in a tornado match
- this major grudge match between these two tag teams with all 4 participants in the ring at the same time ended when Mr. Perfect pinned Brody via the HENNIG PLEX.
- But it was a costly victory for Magnificent Perfection because after the match ended Don Muraco and Mr. Perfect kept double teaming Brody while Martel had Snuka distracted. Brody grabbed his chain and flung it around to chase off Muraco and Mr. Perfect and the chain tripped Mr. Perfect who fell awkward out of the ring and was then grabbing his foot in pain and had to be helped to the back by Muraco and Martel.
** (out of 4 stars)
Match #7: Bobo Brazil defeated The Sheik (managed by Abdullah Farouk) in a dog collar match.
- Brazil avenged his Summer Slam defeat by winning this match against his enemy The Sheik. Although The Sheik managed to kick out of 5 COCO BUTTS, the 6th COCO BUTT from Brazil finally put away The Sheik.
*** (out of 4 stars)
Match #8 Fabulous Kangaroos defeated MLW Tag Team Champions New Age Outlaws 2-1 in a best 2 out of 3 falls match to win the MLW Tag Team Championship.
First Fall: Al Costello put Kip James away via Greek Cross. Fabulous Kangaroos up 1-0.
Second Fall: B.G. James pinned Al Costello via Shake Rattle & Roll Knee Drop. New Age Outlaws and Fabulous Kangaroos tied 1-1.
Third Fall: Al Costello pinned B.G. James via BOOMERANG. Fabulous Kangaroos win 2-1 to become new MLW Tag Team Champions.
In a match of the year candidate, there were a combined total of 31 unsuccessful pin attempts by both teams during these 3 falls until the Fabulous Kangaroos finally won to start their first reign as MLW Tag Team Champions.
**** (out of 4 stars)
Match #9: Intercontinental Champion Jim Londos defeated Rick Rude (managed by Bobby Heenan and accompanied by Heenan Family "problem solver" Ox Baker) to retain the Intercontinental Championship.
- Londos won this match surprisingly quickly via his AIRPLANE SPIN.
- As a result, Londos' impressive reign as Intercontinental Champion, which started back at Wrestlemania, continues.
* 1/2 (out of 4 stars)
Match #10, the main event: World Champion Nick Bockwinkel and Harley Race (managed by Bobby Heenan and accompanied by Heenan Family "problem solver" Ox Baker) defeated The Crusher and Mil Mascaras in an elimination tag World Championship match.
- the way this match worked was Bockwinkel had to put his World Championship on the line and if The Crusher and Mil Mascaras pinned him or made him submit then they'd be the interim champion with whoever having the championship at the end of the match, once both of the other team's opponents were eliminated, becoming the new World Champion.
- First Elimination: Mil Mascaras- eliminated by Race via PILEDRIVER.
- Second Elimination: The Crusher- eliminated by Race via PILEDRIVER.
- Both Bockwinkel and Race survived this match without being eliminated.
- Because he wasn't pinned or made to submit, Bockwinkel retained the World Championship even though Race was the one who eliminated both The Crusher and Mascaras which makes the announcers ask how Bockwinkel might do if he ever had to go against Race in a match.
*** 1/2 (out of 4 stars).
End of Unforgiven

With now just 6 days to go until Minor League Wrestling's first-ever PPV Respect Is Earned on September 28, it's now time for another edition of Monday Morning Minor League Wrestling!
Major League Wrestling (MLW) Minor League Wrestling Monday September 22, 2008 The Major League Wrestling Arena Las Vegas, NV (First Half of the show)
Start of Show: This show starts off with showing these highlights from the last edition of Monday Morning Minor League Wrestling:
Adam Pearce and Larry Sweeney are seen talking to 3 unidentified men telling them that each of them will betray someone that night en route to them forming a new super group to dominate all of Minor League Wrestling!
Later in the show, Steve Corino attacks his protege Ricky Landell and then is joined by Pearce and Sweeney to reveal that Corino was one of the 3 unidentified men at the start of the show.
Later in the show, Minor League Wrestling Tag Team Champions Arik Cannon and Claudio Castagnoli (both managed by Sweeney) took on the Super Friends (Mike Quackenbush and Chris Hero) in which a double turn occurred as Hero turned on Quackenbush while Castagnoli turned on Cannon. When Pearce and Corino arrived to join Sweeney, Hero, and Castagnoli, it was then revealed that Hero and Castagnoli were the other two unidentified men in the room at the start of the show. Pearce, Sweeney, Corino, Hero, and Castagnoli then announced themselves as Evolution and claimed they would dominate all of Minor League Wrestling!
Finally, in the main event of the previous show, Minor League Wrestling Champion Sam Hayne successfully defended the title he won at Summer Slam against former champion Delirious. After the match, all of Evolution arrived to attack Hayne with Pearce (also a former Minor League Wrestling Champion) repeatedly smashing Hayne in the face with the Minor League Wrestling Championship before issuing a challenge to Hayne at Respect Is Earned to end the show!
In the Ring: Minor League Wrestling Commissioner Charlie Cox.
- After the highlights from last week's show, Cox issues the following announcements:
*Both Necro Butcher and Drake Younger, enemies who are set to wrestle each other at Respect Is Earned, will choose each other's opponents on today's shows, in "pick your poison" matches!
*Because former tag champions Cannon and Castagnoli are no longer functioning as a tag team, the Minor League Wrestling Tag Team Championship is currently vacant. But the new Minor League Wrestling Tag Team Champions will be determined this weekend at Respect Is Earned in a match between new tag team partners Mike Quackenbush and Arik Cannon vs Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli!
* And today on Monday Morning Minor League Wrestling, those former tag team partners will battle each other as Mike Quackenbush wrestles Chris Hero and Arik Cannon faces Claudio Castagnoli!
* At Respect is Earned, Ricky Landell will wrestle his former tutor, who betrayed him last week, Steve Corino!
* Cox also confirms that the main event at Respect Is Earned will indeed be Minor League Wrestling Champion Sam Hayne defending his title against former champion Adam Pearce and that today's main event on Monday Morning Minor League Wrestling will be a tag team match featuring Respect Is Earned opponents as Minor League Wrestling Champion Sam Hayne and Ricky Landell will take on Evolution's Adam Pearce and Steve Corino!
Backstage: Evolution (Pearce, Corino, Castagnoli, Hero, and Sweeney) are seen watching Cox on television and laughing arrogantly at Cox's announcements for their upcoming matches tonight and at Respect Is Earned.
Match #1: J.D. Michaels (accompanied by April Hunter) defeated the Belgian Brawler.
-Michaels won this match via his TOP ROPE ELBOW DROP
Backstage: Former Minor League Wrestling Champion Delirious runs into Sabu and starts acting all excited and talking gibberish while mimicking Sabu's finger pointing at the lights. Sabu stares hard at Delirious without saying anything as Cox walks up and tells them (Delirious and Sabu) that they're wrestling each other this weekend at Respect Is Earned!
Match #2: Timber defeated Drake Younger
- For this match, Necro Butcher picked Timber as Drake Younger's opponent in the first of tonight's two "pick your poison" matches.
-This match ended when Lee, distracted by Necro Butcher who arrived at ringside, lost to Timber via Timber's finisher LOG SPLITTER.
Match #3: The Heartbreak Express defeated the Samoan Island Tribe.
- This match ended when Superstar Sean Davis pinned Alofa via a short-armed clothesline.
-Just like after last week's match between these two tag teams, a major brawl erupted after the bell rang ending the match. Cox arrived to stop the chaos and announced that at Respect Is Earned it will be the Samoan Island Tribe vs the Heartbreak Express in a tag team tables match!
End of First Half of the show. Second Half is coming up next and includes: another "pick your poison" match as Necro Butcher takes on an opponent selected by his enemy Drake Younger, two matches of former tag team partners doing battle as Arik Cannon takes on Claudio Castagnoli and Mike Quackenbush wrestles Chris Hero, the main event of Minor League Wrestling Champion Sam Hayne and Ricky Landell vs Adam Pearce and Steve Corino, and more!

Major League Wrestling (MLW) Minor League Wrestling Monday September 22, 2008 The Major League Wrestling Arena Las Vegas, NV (Second Half of the show, First Half is posted above)
Match #4: Claudio Castagnoli (managed by Larry Sweeney) defeated Arik Cannon
-Castagnoli via his Alpamare Waterslide defeated his former tag team partner and former fellow tag team championship partner Cannon who he (Castagnoli) turned against on the last episode of Minor League Wrestling.
Match #5: Naptown Dragons (accompanied by Drake Younger) defeated Necro Butcher by DQ in a handicap match.
- For this match, Younger picked his friends the Naptown Dragons to take on his enemy Necro Butcher in the second of tonight's two "pick your poison" matches.
- This match ended when the action spilled outside of the ring where Necro Butcher grabbed a chair and smashed it against the heads of Dustin Lee, Scotty Vortekz, and Drake Younger. Although Necro Butcher lost this match by DQ, if both Naptown Dragons were unable to get a decisive victory against him (Necro Butcher) today, what chance will Younger have against Necro Butcher one on one next weekend at Respect Is Earned?
Match #6: Mike Quackenbush defeated Chris Hero (managed by Larry Sweeney)
- Quackenbush won this match over his former tag team partner Hero, who betrayed him (Quackenbush) last week via his CHIKARA SPECIAL right after Sweeney got ejected from ringside by the referee for trying to interfere in the match.
- Today there was a 1-1 split in singles action between the two tag teams set to clash at Respect Is Earned for the vacant Minor League Wrestling Tag Team Championship as Castagnoli defeated Cannon and Quackenbush defeated Hero. But at Respect Is Earned there will likely be a decisive winner between Quackenbush and Cannon vs Castagnoli and Hero to determine the new Minor League Wrestling Tag Team Champions!
Backstage: Bloody Harker Dirge tells Savage-T he's sorry that Cox didn't approve Savage-T's request last week to battle Sam Hayne for the Minor League Wrestling Tag Team Championship at Respect Is Earned.
- Savage-T then suddenly knees Dirge in the groin and gives him a superkick and tells Dirge there is a reason why he (Savage-T) is still in Major League Wrestling while Dirge is not and Savage-T says he's going to prove this at Respect Is Earned when he shows everyone who the better member of Indy Pulse was!

Match #7, the main event: Adam Pearce and Steve Corino (managed by Larry Sweeney) defeated Minor League Wrestling Champion Sam Hayne and Ricky Landell by DQ.
-This match ended when Hayne got DQd for using HELL'S FLAMES against Pearce.
-Although Pearce's team won this match, it was Hayne who left looking the strongest as Pearce was badly hurt by Hayne's HELL"S FLAMES and had to be attended to by Corino and Sweeney as today's show comes to an end. Can Pearce regain the Minor League Wrestling Championship from Hayne this weekend at Respect Is Earned?

It's now time for this week's edition of Thursday Night RAW!
Major League Wrestling (MLW) RAW Thursday September 25, 2008 The Major League Wrestling Arena Las Vegas, NV (First Half of show)
In the Ring: World Champion Nick Bockwinkel, Harley Race, Rick Rude, Ox Baker, and Bobby Heenan of the Heenan Family.
-Heenan says that Rude tonight will prove that Intercontinental Champion Jim Londos' victory at Unforgiven was a fluke when he (Rude) wrestles Londos again tonight on RAW!
- Bockwinkel says that after Unforgiven, where he retained his World Championship even though it was his tag team partner Race who eliminated both The Crusher and Mil Mascaras in the main event, if someone wants a shot at his title then they first need to defeat Race and so tonight on RAW it's The Crusher vs Harley Race!
-As the Heenan Family is about to leave the ring, Gary Michael Cappetta asks Race if he would soon demand a shot at Bockwinkel's title after his performance at Unforgiven. Heenan quickly answers that Race doesn't want a shot at Bockwinkel's title but it looked like Heenan interrupted Race right before he (Race) was about to answer Cappetta's answer for himself.
Match #1: New Age Outlaws defeated Killer Bees by count out
-In this great competitive opening tag team match, the New Age Outlaws, who lost the MLW Tag Team Championship to the Fabulous Kangaroos at Unforgiven and are now looking to get back into the tag team title picture, won when B. Brian Blair was unable to reenter the ring before the end of the 10 count after being thrown out of the ring and then hit outside of the ring with a spectacular dive by B.G. James.
Match #2: Ray Stevens (accompanied by Bobby Heenan and Heenan Family "problem solver" Ox Baker) defeated Pepper Gomez.
- Stevens followed his ladder match victory against his enemy Gomez at Unforgiven by winning again over Gomez via a crippling piledriver followed by BOMBS AWAY.
Match #3: Iron Mike DiBiase defeated Playboy Buddy Rose
- Rose was still mad at DiBiase for calling him "fat boy" at Unforgiven while he was on the way to the ring for a match where he lost the Cruiserweight Championship to Gorgeous George. But despite using his anger as motivation, Rose lost this match anyway as he got pinned by DiBiase's TOP ROPE KNEE DROP after new Cruiserweight Champion Gorgeous George arrived at ringside to taunt and distract Rose.
Match #4: Ed "The Strangler" Lewis defeated Diamond Dallas Page in an Unforgiven rematch
- Lewis avenged his loss to DDP at Unforgiven by wearing DDP down and making him tap to his STRANGLER'S HEADLOCK.
Backstage: Greg Valentine and Brutus Beefcake, who won the 4 way tag team elimination match at Unforgiven to earn an automatic title shot against new MLW Tag Team Champions the Fabulous Kangaroos, are told by their manager Johnny Valiant that he tonight has all 3 of them booked in a 6 man tag team match against the Kangaroos and their manager Captain Kangaroo so they can first scout for the Kangaroos' weakness before challenging for the MLW Tag Team Championship next week on RAW.
Match #5: MLW Tag Team Champions the Fabulous Kangaroos and their manager Captian Kangaroo (Albano) defeated Greg Valentine, Brutus Beefcake, and Johnny Valiant in a 6 man tag team match.
- This match ended when Roy Heffernan made Valiant tap out to his finishing STEP OVER TOEHOLD.
- But the announcers ask, will Valentine and Beefcake perhaps have better success next week in a standard tag team match when they challenge the Fabulous Kangaroos for the MLW Tag Team Championship?
End of First Half. Second Half will be posted next and includes: an update on the injury Mr. Perfect suffered at Unforgiven, Intercontinetal Champion Jim Londos vs Rick Rude, The Brothers of Other Mothers (Bobo Brazil and Mil Mascaras) teaming up for the first tme in awhile as Brazil and Mascaras will be joined by Jimmy Snuka to take on Abdul Farouk's stable of The Sheik and the Vachons, The Crusher vs Harley Race, and more!

Major League Wrestling (MLW) RAW Thursday September 25, 2008 The Major League Wrestling Arena Las Vegas, NV (Second Half of show, First Half is posted above)
Backstage: Don Muraco with Ladies Champion Sherri Martel
- Muraco announces that as the result of the injury Mr. Perfect suffered at the hands of Bruiser Brody at Unforgiven in the tornado match between Brody and Jimmy Snuka vs Magnificent Perfection, Mr. Perfect will be out for about the next 2 months.
- Muraco then announces he's going to get revenge for Mr. Perfect's injury against Brody tonight in a match on RAW which is coming up next!
Match #6: Don Muraco (accompanied by Ladies Champion Sherri Martel) defeated Bruiser Brody.
- Muraco picked up this victory via an over the shoulder backbreaker.
Match #7: Intercontinental Champion Jim Londos defeated Rick Rude (accompanied by Bobby Heenan and Heenan Family "problem solver" Ox Baker) by DQ in a non-title match.
-Trying to prove he deserves another title shot against Londos, Rude put up a better fight than he did at Unforgiven against Londos but lost by DQ when the referee caught Baker entering the ring to attack Londos after Heenan tried unsuccessfully to distract the referee.
Match #8: The Sheik and the Vachons (managed by Abdullah Farouk) defeated The Brothers of Other Mothers (Bobo Brazil and Mil Mascaras) and Jimmy Snuka in a 6 man tag team match by DQ.
- Farouk' stable picked up the victory by DQ when the end of the match came when an enraged Brazil grabbed a sharp foreign object away from his enemy The Sheik outside of the ring and went on a rampage by repeatedly hitting The Sheik, both Vachons, and Farouk with the sharp foreign object until both Mascaras and Snuka were finally able to calm him (Brazil) down.
Cyber Sunday advertisement:
- On the big screen it's announced that the next PPV presented by Major League Wrestling's (MLW's) RAW brand will be Cyber Sunday scheduled for Sunday November 5th and taking place right here in The Major League Wrestling Arena!
- The message says that once again it will be the MLW fans themselves who will vote on the match opponents and match stipulations for Cyber Sunday!
- The announcement ends with a cryptic message by saying that no matter which way the fans vote, the main event for Cyber Sunday will still automatically be the biggest main event in the entire history of Major League Wrestling (a Wrestlemania quality matchup) and the main event possibilities for MLW fans to vote on will be announced on Saturday October 18th!
- The television announcers wonder aloud just what this main event at Cyber Sunday could be and ask just why is the main event for Cyber Sunday, a RAW brand PPV, being announced on a Saturday (October 11th) when RAW every week takes place on a Thursday night?
Match #9, the main event: Harley Race (accompanied by World Champion Nick Bockwinkel, Bobby Heenan, and Heenan Family "problem solver" Ox Baker) defeated The Crusher.
-The first man to accept Bockwinkel's challenge at the start of tonight's show that to earn a title shot against Bockwinkel one first had to go through Race following the results of Unforgiven, The Crusher appeared to have this match won via his CRUSHER BOLO but Heenan and Baker managed to distract the referee while Bockwinkel ran into the ring and attacked The Crusher. Race recovered and instantly went for the pin- but The Crusher kicked out. But a couple of moves later Race used his PILEDRIVER and this time The Crusher was unable to kick out before the 3 count.
- As tonight's show comes to an end, Bockwinkel and Race celebrate together along with the rest of The Heenan Family. The television announcers remark that with the current champion (Bockwinkel) and the man (Race) everyone now first has to defeat to get to Bockwinkel, it looks like the Heenan Family will dominate RAW for the foreseeable future. But why does Race currently seem disinterested in a title shot for himself and instead appear content in his current role within the Heenan Family?
End of show.

It's now time for this week's edition, and the last edition until next weekend's presentation of No Mercy, of Friday Night Smackdown!
Major League Wrestling (MLW) Smackdown Friday September 26, 2008 The Major League Wrestling Arena Las Vegas, NV (First Half of show)
Backstage: The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase informs MLW Chairman Bruno Sammartino that everything involving his business acquisition has now been finalized and will be formally announced as scheduled next weekend at No Mercy which will make Major League Wrestling (MLW) even bigger and better than ever before!
Match #1: Hardcore Hodge defeated Fritz Von Goering.
- In this competitive opening match, Hardcore Hodge, set to challenge Gorgeous George for the Cruiserweight Championship next weekend at No Mercy, proved he is also a good wrestler against non-cruiserweights with his impressive performance against Von Goering.
- This match ended when Von Goering attempted a death jump only to be picked up at the top of the turnbuckle by Hodge and then thrown to the mat where Hodge immediately applied an Indian Deathlock to force Von Goering to tap out.
- After the match, the big screen showed George smirking and saying that at No Mercy they'll be calling Hardcore Hodge Hardluck Hodge after he (George) embarrasses him in the ring at No Mercy next weekend.
Match #2: Savage-T (accompanied by the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase and Virgil) defeated the Sandman by DQ.
- Savage-T was awarded this match after the referee caught the Sandman using his SINGAPORE CANE. But because Savage-T only won this match by DQ and not by either pinfall or submission, his enemy the Million Dollar Man gets to stay on Smackdown.
- After the match, both the Million Dollar Man and Virgil held Savage-T down in the corner against the turnbuckle as the Sandman whacked Savage-T repeatedly with his SINGAPORE CANE as the Million Dollar Man laughed hysterically at Savage-T. But will the Million Dollar Man still be laughing next weekend at No Mercy when Savage-T takes on Virgil (representing the Million Dollar Man) in a loser leaves Smackdown match?
Match #3: Bob Orton Sr. defeated Buff Bagwell.
- Orton Sr won this match via his PILEDRIVER.
- After this match ended, Bagwell rolled out of the ring where, while still dazed from losing the match, he accidentally grabbed Orton Sr's bullwhip. Orton Sr then grabbed the bullwhip away from Bagwell and started whipping him with it before throwing Bagwell back into the ring where he used his bullwhip to tie up Bagwell and humiliate him by dragging him around the ring.
Match #4: The Mountie (accompanied by Mr. Canada) defeated Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
-Duggan controlled most of this match and even threw Mr. Canada, his No Mercy opponent, over the top rope and out of the ring once when Mr. Canada tried to interfere but The Mountie won by pinfall after he got away with hitting Duggan with his SHOCK STICK handed to him by Mr. Canada.
- But next weekend at No Mercy, Mr. Canada will no longer be able to continue avoiding Duggan as the two of them are finally set to wrestle each other at the PPV!
Backstage: MLW Chairman Bruno Sammartino tells Bob Orton Sr that he (Sammartino) is going to give Bagwell a chance at revenge for the humiliating treatment Orton Sr gave him earlier tonight on Smackdown by scheduling a bullrope match between Bagwell and Orton Sr next weekend at No Mercy!
Match #5: Bobby Eaton (accompanied by Jim Cornette and Stan Lane) defeated Dennis Condrey (accompanied by Rapping Red Bastien).
- This match ended when Eaton pinned his former fellow Midnight Express member Condrey via ALABAMA JAM.
- But once again next week at No Mercy it will be the New Midnight Express (Condrey and Bastien) challenging the Midnight Express (Eaton and Lane) for the US Tag Team Championship in a best 2 out of 3 falls match!
End of First Half. Second Half will be posted next and includes: Jushin Liger vs Steve "Dr. Death" Williams, Antonino Rocca vs Ivan Koloff in a No Mercy Preview Match, Giant Baba and Antonio Inoki vs The Horsemen: Johnny Valentine, George Hackenschmidt, and Larry Zbyszko in a 2 on 3 handicap match, World Tag Team Champions Road Warriors vs The Vegas Haters in a non-title No Mercy Preview Match, and MLW Champion and United States Champion Frank Gotch vs Dan Severn vs Buddy Rogers in a non-title triple threat No Mercy Preview Match.
