Match #5: Ivan Koloff and Nikolai Volkoff (accompanied by The Terrible Turk and managed by Nikita Breznikov) defeated United States Tag Team Champions Giant Baba and Antonio Inoki in a non-title match.
-This match ended when Volkoff pinned Inoki via BACKBREAKER DROP which sets up a title match on the next edition of Smackdown between these same two tag teams with the winner not only being the United States Tag Team champions but also getting a shot at the World Tag Team Championship with a match against the Road Warriors at Summer Slam!
advertisement Summer Slam Sunday August 17th 1. Intercontinental Champion Jim Londos vs World Champion Nick Bockwinkel for the World Championship. 2. United States Champion Frank Gotch vs MLW Champion Buddy Rogers for the MLW Championship. 3. Bobo Brazil vs The Sheik More TBA
In the Ring: The Sandman
Sandman: "I'm going to do an impression of someone. See if you can tell who it is."
Sandman then starts speaking but no sound comes out of his voice.
Sandman: "Could you tell who I was? Right there I was Rapping Red Bastien because that's exactly what he sounds like now after I did this to him last weekend in the Barroom Brawl match at the Great American Bash. Play the video."
-On the big screen footage from last weekend's Barroom Brawl at the Great American Bash is shown. Sandman is shown getting eliminated by Rapping Red Bastien who pinned him via a flying head scissors after burning Sandman by lighting Sandman's shot of liquor on fire. The video then shows an angry Sandman retaliating by severely beating his SINGAPORE CANE across the throat of Rapping Red Bastien who soon after got eliminated by Sandman's former tag team partner Justin Credible (who just got drafted to RAW) en route to winning the Bar Room Brawl match for an upcoming title shot of Credible's choice. The video ends with Rapping Red Bastien being carried away on a stretcher.
Sandman: "I got an update on Rapping Red Bastien's status. Doctors say it's unlikely that Rapping Red Bastien will ever be able to rap or perhaps even wrestle ever again. But for the memory of Rapping Red Bastien, I have this rap song which I wrote myself personally."
Sandman's rap song:
"I caused you some pain with my SINGAPORE CANE." "And now I'm going to gloat because I damaged your throat." "Because I would rather take a crap than listen to you rap."
Sandman: "Rapping Red Bastien, if you're smart, don't try to come back here to Smackdown because if you do I'll put you right back in the hospital."
Match #6, the main event: United States Champion Frank Gotch, Larry "The Axe" Hennig, Dan "The Beast" Severn, and their 2 mystery partners defeated The Four Horsemen (MLW Champion Buddy Rogers, Johnny Valentine, George Hackenschmidt, Larry Zbyszko) and Bob Orton Sr in a 10 man elimination tag match.
- The two mystery partners for Gotch, Hennig, and Severn's team turned out to be the World Tag Team Champions the Road Warriors!
order of eliminations: 1. Johnny Valentine was DQd 2. Larry Zbyszko (pinned by Larry Hennig) 3. Bob Orton Sr (forced to tap by Frank Gotch) 4. Buddy Rogers (pinned by his Summer Slam opponent Frank Gotch) 5. Larry Hennig (forced to submit by George Hackenschmidt) 6. George Hackenschmidt (pinned by Frank Gotch)
The survivors: United States Champion Frank Gotch, Dan Severn, and the Road Warriors.
That's it for the July 4th edition of Smackdown. Major League Wrestling will be off next week for our annual Summer vacation but both RAW and Smackdown will be back in action on Thursday July 17th and Friday July 18th respectively.

Major League Wrestling (MLW) RAW Friday morning (Ditch Friday edition) July 18, 2008 First Third of the show
Match #1: The Sheik (managed by Abdullah Farouk) defeated S.D. Jones (accompanied by Mil Mascaras)
-Jones, who got a surprise victory over The Sheik thanks to distraction caused by Mascaras (whose best friend Bobo Brazil is still injured from a FIREBALL by The Sheik who interfered in their steel cage tag match against the Vachons at Vengeance) on the last edition of RAW, started this match in control with a strong series of offensive against The Sheik. But the tide turned when Jones threw The Sheik into the ropes and The Sheik rebounded off the ropes by hitting Jones with a running back elbow. The Sheik then stabbed Jones with a sharp object and then threw Jones out of the ring on top of Mascaras. After Mascaras helped Jones get back into the ring, The Sheik then immediately got away with hitting Jones with a FIREBALL for the pinfall victory.
-After the match as Mascaras tended to a hurt Jones on the mat, Farouk got on the microphone and told Mascaras to tell Brazil that he (Brazil) will meet the same fate as Jones if he (Brazil) tries to come back to Major League Wrestling (MLW) against The Sheik for their scheduled match at Summer Slam on August 17th!
Match #2: Cowboy Bob Orton Jr defeated Bruiser Brody (accompanied by Jimmy Snuka).
-Brody controlled most of the action in this match but Orton Jr got the victory via his SUPERPLEX along with putting his feet on the ropes for extra leverage (despite Snuka's attempts to point this out to the referee) as the referee made the 3 count.
Match #3, First Round Match in the MLW Tag Team Championship Tournament: Rick Rude and Ray Stevens (managed by Bobby Heenan and accompanied by Heenan Family "problem solver" Ox Baker) defeated the Fabulous Kangaroos (managed by Captain Kangaroo).
-The end of this match came when Stevens threw Roy Heffernan out of the ring. As the referee started to make the 10 count to get Heffernan back into the ring, Baker handed Stevens an object which Stevens placed into his knee pad. As Heffernan crawled back into the ring to break up the count out, Stevens with his loaded knee pad hit him with BOMBS AWAY for the major upset.
-As a result, Rude and Stevens advance to next week's second round/semifinals while the #1 seeds the Fabulous Kangaroos are already eliminated!
Match #4, First Round Match in the MLW Tag Team Championship Tournament:: New Age Outlaws defeated Magnificent Perfection (managed by Sherri Martel).
- Don Muraco and Mr. Perfect controlled most of the action in this match until B.G. James blocked a falling elbow drop from Muraco and responded with a James Gang Pounce and then a PUMP HANDLE SLAM for the victory.
-As a result, the New Age Outlaws on next week's RAW will wrestle Rick Rude and Ray Stevens in the Second Round/Semifinals of this tournament with the winner of that match advancing to the tournament finals at Summer Slam for the vacant MLW Tag Team Championship!
End of First Third. Second Third will be posted next and includes all 3 of RAW's MLW Cruiserweight Championship Challenge matches tonight which will be introduced by tonight's guest ring announcer former Playboy Playmate of the Year Carmella DeCesare as this special Friday morning edition (Ditch Friday edition) of RAW continues!

In the Ring: Trinity Denucci
Denucci: "I hope everybody here is enjoying Major League Wrestling's special edition of RAW, Ditch Friday, early this Friday morning. Let's go talk to some people in the crowd to see what they ditched to be here with us this morning."
-Denucci walks up to one man in the front row.
-Denucci: "Sir, what did you ditch this morning to come here to this special edition of RAW with guest ring announcer former Playboy Playmate of the Year Carmella DeCesare?"
-guy in the crowd: "I ditched my old maid. Whoooooooo!"
-Denucci then walks up to another guy in the front row (who looks vaguely familiar) and asks him the same question.
-Denucci: "Sir, what did you ditch this morning to come here to RAW?"
-2nd guy in the crowd: "I ditched the J O B."
-Denucci: "Wait, I think I know you. Aren't you Savage-T in disguise? You're under contract to be working for the Million Dollar Man as his servant on days when Major League Wrestling has shows. If you're really Savage-T and not working right now for the Million Dollar Man then you could lose your contract with Major League Wrestling."
-2nd guy in the crowd: "I, I, I don't know what you're talking about"- but then the guy suddenly gets up and runs away before Denucci can ask him any more questions.
(note all the rest of the matches on this third of the show are tonight's MLW Cruiserweight Championship Challenge matches and it's for these matches that former Playboy Playmate of the Year Carmella DeCesare is serving as tonight's guest ring announcer)
Match #5: Ed "Strangler" Lewis defeated Justin Credible in a MLW Cruiserweight Championship Challenge match.
- The Strangler wore down and put Credible away with his STRANGLER'S HEADLOCK to advance to the MLW Cruiserweight Championship Challenge 6 man elimination final at Summer Slam on August 17th to determine Major League Wrestling's first-ever Cruiserweight Champion.
Match #6: Gorgeous George defeated Pepper Gomez in a MLW Cruiserweight Championship Challenge match.
- George overcame early offense by Gomez and won via his SPINNING TOE HOLD to advance to the MLW Cruiserweight Championship Challenge 6 man elimination final at Summer Slam on August 17th to determine Major League Wrestling's first-ever Cruiserweight Champion.
Match #7: Playboy Buddy Rose defeated Iron Mike DiBiase in a MLW Cruiserweight Championship Challenge match.
-Before this match began, Iron Mike DiBiase got on the microphone and proclaimed himself "Omaha's Greatest Athlete."
-Before this match began, after Carmella DeCesare announced Rose as weighing 271 lbs, Rose grabbed the microphone.
-Rose: "No, no, no. I do not weigh 271 lbs. I only weigh 221 lbs."
-Rose then handed back the microphone to Carmella DeCesare who laughed at him.
-As Playboy Buddy Rose handed back the microphone to DeCesare, Iron Mike DiBiase tried to start off the match with a shoulder tackle but missed and Rose then hit DiBiase with a brainbuster followed by a bodyslam and then BOMBS AWAY for the easy victory to advance to the MLW Cruiserweight Championship Challenge 6 man elimination final at Summer Slam on August 17th to determine Major League Wrestling's first-ever Cruiserweight Champion.

Major League Wrestling (MLW) RAW Friday morning (Ditch Friday edition) July 18, 2008 Final Third of the show, First Third and Second Thirds are both posted above
Backstage: Bobby Heenan, Rick Rude, and Ray Stevens are celebrating their upset tournament victory earlier this morning against the Fabulous Kangaroos when they are approached by MLW Chairman Bruno Sammartino.
-Sammartino tells Heenan that, in response to the Heenan Family choosing Intercontinental Champion Jim Londos' opponent last week on RAW by paying Cowboy Bob Orton Jr to attack Londos from behind first backstage, he is allowing Londos (World Champion Nick Bockwinkel's challenger at Summer Slam) to choose Bockwinkel's opponent on this week's RAW- but the only difference is that Londos isn't paying any money to do this or having Bockwinkel attacked backstage first. And Sammartino informs Heenan that Londos has chosen The Crusher as Bockwinkel's opponent tonight!
Match #8: Harley Race defeated the Missing Link.
-Race controlled all the action in this match from the opening bell and got the easy victory via his PILEDRIVER. But the question remains: Will Race (who just got drafted back to RAW from Smackdown a few weeks ago) rejoin the Heenan Family or choose instead to go after Bockwinkel's World Championship?
Match #9, First Round Match in the MLW Tag Team Championship Tournament: The Vachons (managed by Abdullah Farouk) defeated Yukon Eric and Cousin Luke.
-Yukon Eric and Cousin Luke put up a good fight but ultimately lost to the Vachons when Mad Dog Vachon pinned Yukon Eric via PILEDRIVER.
- As a result, former MLW Tag Team Champions the Vachons advance to next week's tournament second round/semifinals for the vacant MLW Tag Team Championship!
Match #10, First Round Match in the MLW Tag Team Championship Tournament: Killer Bees defeated Greg Valentine and Brutus Beefcake (managed by Johnny Valiant).
- In what turned out to be the best first round match of this tournament, the Killer Bees won when Jim Brunzell made Greg Valentine tap out to a figure four leglock.
-As a result of tonight's now completed first round matchups, these are next week's RAW second round/semi-final matches with the two winners advancing to meet in the tournament finals at Summer Slam for the vacant MLW Tag Team Championship:
New Age Outlaws vs Rick Rude and Ray Stevens Killer Bees vs Vachons
Summer Slam advertisement Summer Slam: Champion vs Champion presented by both the RAW and Smackdown brands of Major League Wrestling (MLW) August 17 1. Intercontinental Champion Jim Londos vs World Champion Nick Bockwinkel for Bockwinkel's World Championship 2. United States Champion Frank Gotch vs MLW Champion Buddy Rogers for Rogers' MLW Championship 3. MLW Tag Team Championship Tournament Finals- participants TBD 4. MLW Cruiserweight Championship Challenge Finals: Playboy Buddy Rose vs Ed "Strangler" Lewis vs Gorgeous George vs 3 Smackdown participants TBD 5. Bobo Brazil vs The Sheik 6. More TBA
Match #11, the main event: World Champion Nick Bockwinkel (managed by Bobby Heenan) defeated The Crusher (accompanied by Intercontinental Champion Jim Londos) in a non-title match
-Although The Crusher had Bockwinkel in serious trouble early in this match and even made Bockwinkel kick out of two early CRUSHER BOLOS, Bockwinkel came back to once again defeat The Crusher when he applied his FIGURE-FOUR LEGLOCK and then, when The Crusher refused to submit, his BOCKWINKEL SLEEPER which allowed him to win the match.
-After the match ended, Londos entered the ring to check on The Crusher and then got in the face of Bockwinkel. Londos and Bockwinkel also met in the RAW potion of the main event at last year's Summer Slam and wrestling historians and other experts are already referring to their highly anticipated rematch at this year's Summer Slam as Londos-Bockwinkel II. As Londos and Bockwinkel continue to stare each other down in the ring, this edition of RAW comes to an end.
-See you later tonight for this week's edition of Smackdown!

And if Gotch wins tonight he gets to pick the stipulation for their match at Summer Slam but if Johnny Valentine wins the match tonight then Rogers gets to pick the stipulation for their match at Summer Slam on August 17th! In the Ring: Killer Kowalski and Steve "Dr. Death" Williams -Kowalski is on the microphone challenging Buff Bagwell, who got a surprising victory over Dr. Death at the Great American Bash two weeks ago but lost convincingly to Dr. Death last week on Smackdown, to wrestle Dr. Death tonight in a deciding match of what would be a 3 match series. Bagwell comes out not only to accept this challenge but motions to the referee he wants the match to start right away! Match #2: Steve "Dr. Death" Williams (managed by Killer Kowalski) defeated Buff Bagwell-This turned out to be a much more competitive match compared to last week but the end came when Bagwell missed a turnbuckle charge. Williams went for a pin that Bagwell managed to kick out of but Williams then immediately hit Bagwell with his OKLAHOMA STAMPEDE for the deciding victory. -The announcers ask, now that Dr. Death has won 2 in a row against Bagwell, how far can he advance here on Smackdown under the guidance of Killer Kowalski? Minor League Wrestling advertisement:-A television add is shown saying that Major League Wrestling's new developmental brand Minor League Wrestling will have a televised show next week on this channel that includes a tournament to determine the first-ever Minor League Wrestling Tag Team Champions and a title defense by Minor League Wrestling Champion Adam Pearce vs Delirious! -"Minor League Wrestling: We're not as good as Major League Wrestling , but we're trying."

Backstage: Jim Cornette and the Midnight Express (Bobby Eaton and Stan Lane) - Cornette says the resurgence of the Midnight Express, who are now thankfully free from the uselessness of the recently-released Dennis Condrey, begins tonight as they face a tag team calling itself The Axe and The Beast.

Match #4: Midnight Express (Bobby Eaton and Stan Lane,managed by Jim Cornette) defeated The Axe and The Beast (Larry "The Axe" Hennig and Dan "The Beast" Severn. - The Midnight Express won this tag team match when Lane pinned Severn via a SUPERKICK. -Is this a sign that the Midnight Express, whose time in Major League Wrestling has been highlighted by 3 reigns as World Tag Team Champions and 1 reign as United States Tag Team Champions, will be able to regain their former status among the elite tag teams of Major League Wrestling?

Major League Wrestling (MLW) Smackdown July 18, 2008 Second Third of the show, First Third is posted above
Backstage: Accompanied by Virgil, the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase walks up to his servant Savage-T.
-Million Dollar Man: "Savage-T, did you pick up my backstage passes to meet the Rolling Stones after their show at the MGM Grand Garden Arena like I ordered you to do?"
-Savage-T: "I've got some backstage tickets for you right here in this envelope."
-Million Dollar Man (after opening the envelope): "Savage-T, you idiot! These aren't backstage passes to see the Rolling Stones at the MGM Grand. These are backstage tickets to see Carrot Top at the Luxor."
-Savage-T: "Oh, I thought you said you wanted me to get you backstage tickets to see Carrot Top. Well at least you get to meet Carrot Top."
-Million Dollar Man: "I don't want to meet that jacked-up on steroids red-headed hair freak! I don't think he's funny at all!"
-Savage-T: "Well if you don't like my help then you should just free me from being your servant."
-Million Dollar Man: "No, I enjoy humiliating you. But I tell you what Savage-T. If you want your freedom, you have to earn it in the ring. Starting next week on Smackdown, the next time you win a match then you'll no longer have to be my servant."
-Savage-T: "Good, I challenge Virgil or my friend George South to a match next week."
-Savage-T: "No, the way it works is I get to pick your opponent each week. But since I'm so sure you won't ever win a match anyway, if you get a victory- either pinfall or submission and not by DQ or countout- then not only will you no longer be my servant but I will also leave Smackdown."
-So the next time Savage-T wins a match by an opponent chosen each week by the Million Dollar Man, Savage-T won't be the Million Dollar Man's servant and the Million Dollar Man will have to leave Smackdown!
Match #5: Hacksaw Jim Duggan defeated Fritz Von Goering.
-In his debut match on Smackdown since getting drafted from RAW, Duggan picked up the victory via his FLYING SPEAR.
- But afterward before Duggan could leave the ring, he got attacked from behind by Mr. Canada (Billy "Red" Lyons) and The Mountie who were looking for revenge for Duggan knocking them out of the ring with his 2X4 for praising Canada last time (July 4th edition) on Smackdown. Mr. Canada then tells Duggan he has a match against The Mountie next week on Smackdown!
Match #6: Tiger Mask defeated "Bullet" Bob Armstrong in a MLW Cruiserweight Championship Challenge match.
- Tiger Mask got the easy victory via his TIGER SUPLEX to advance to the MLW Cruiserweight Championship Challenge 6 man elimination final at Summer Slam on August 17th to determine Major League Wrestling's first-ever Cruiserweight Champion.
Match #7: Hardcore Hodge defeated Brad Armstrong in a MLW Cruiserweight Championship Challenge match.
-Although Brad Armstrong put up better resistance than his father in the previous match, Hardcore Hodge won via his OKLAHOMA SIDEROLL to advance to the MLW Cruiserweight Championship Challenge 6 man elimination final at Summer Slam on August 17th to determine Major League Wrestling's first-ever Cruiserweight Champion.
Match #8: Jushin Liger defeated Koko B. Ware in a MLW Cruiserweight Championship Challenge match.
- Liger won via his FISHERMAN'S BUSTER to advance to the MLW Cruiserweight Championship Challenge 6 man elimination final at Summer Slam on August 17th to determine Major League Wrestling's first-ever Cruiserweight Champion.
-As a result of both tonight's 3 MLW Cruiserweight Championship Challenge matches and as a result of this week's 3 MLW Cruiserweight Championship Challenge matches on RAW, the MLW Cruiserweight Championship Challenge 6 man elimination final at Summer Slam on August 17th to determine Major League Wrestling's first-ever Cruiserweight Champion will be: Playboy Buddy Rose vs Ed "Strangler" Lewis vs Gorgeous George vs Tiger Mask vs Jushin Liger vs Hardcore Hodge!
End of Second Third. Final Third will be posted next and includes Giant Baba and Antonio Inoki defending the US Tag Team Championship against Ivan Koloff and Nikolai Volkoff in a best 2 out of falls match, and United States Champion Frank Gotch vs Johnny Valentine to determine whether Gotch or MLW Champion Buddy Rogers gets to choose the stipulation for their match at Summer Slam!

Major League Wrestling (MLW) Smackdown July 18, 2008 Final Third of the show, First Third and Second Third are both posted above
Hot Seat: The Vegas Haters (Don Leo Jonathan and King Kong Bundy with their manager Eddie Fyne) are the guests.
Bill Apter: "You guys call yourselves The Vegas Haters. Why do you hate Las Vegas so much?"
Eddie Fyne: "Because so many people in this town are artificial including the city itself. If it wasn't for Hoover Dam and Lake Mead than Las Vegas couldn't possibly even exist in the first place. This town shouldn't even naturally be here."
-Fyne goes on to make some nasty comments about how Las Vegas someday will need to find new sources of fresh water before Lake Mead runs dry as boos from the local Las Vegas crowd drown him out.
Match #9: Sandman defeated George South
- South came to the ring wearing a Rapping Red Bastien T-shirt saying he was looking to teach the Sandman a lesson for bragging last time on Smackdown how he (Sandman) badly injured Rapping Red Bastien at the Great American Bash to the extent that Bastien is still out injured and may never be able to rap again.
- Sandman won this match via a White Russian Leg Sweep and afterward proceeded to beat South continuously with his SINGAPORE CANE and tore South's Rapping Red Bastien T-shirt to shreds.
Match #10: United States Tag Team Champion Giant Baba and Antonio Inoki defeated Ivan Koloff and Nikolai Volkoff (accompanied by the Terrible Turk and managed by Nikita Breznikov) 2-0 by DQ in a best 2 out of 3 falls match to retain the United States Tag Team Championship.
First Fall: Ivan Koloff DQd for using his chain against Inoki. Inoki bleeded heavily as he and Baba went up 1-0.
Second Fall: Koloff DQd for using his chain against Baba. Baba and Inoki win the matchup 2-0 by DQ against the former United States Tag Team Champions. And as a result, Baba and Inoki earn the right to challenge the World Tag Team Champions the Road Warriors at Summer Slam!
-Afterward, Koloff, Volkoff, the Terrible Turk, and Breznikov proceeded to attack Baba and Inoki in a 4 on 1 beat down until Antonino Rocca (Ivan Koloff's enemy) and the Road Warriors ran out to make the save and send the Russians back to the locker room. The Road Warriors then stared down their Summer Slam challengers Baba and Inoki but the two sides manage to refrain from coming to blows against each other.
Match #11: Johnny Valentine (accompanied by MLW Champion Buddy Rogers) defeated United States Champion Frank Gotch in a non-title match to allow Rogers to pick the stipulation for his title defense at Summer Slam.
- Valentine won this match via repeated ATOMIC SKULLCRUSHERS.
-Upon Valentine being awarded the victory, Valentine and Rogers were joined by the other two members of the Four Horsemen George Hackenschmidt and Larry Zbyszko in a 4 on 1 attack on Gotch. Afterward, Rogers grabbed the microphone and announced that the stipulation (which Rogers won the right to choose thanks to Valentine's victory) for their match at Summer Slam would be a "last man standing" match!
-As tonight's episode of Smackdown goes off the air, an updated advertisement for Summer Slam is shown:
