Kabuki attempted a pinfall after a 2nd rope falling fist, but Fargo was able to power out of it. Soon thereafter, Kabuki used GREEN MIST, that was not detected by the referee, to secure the 1-2-3 and a spot in the quarterfinals where he will face #1 seed Rob Van Dam for a chance to make the semifinals of the tournament.

However, the match turned in Masked Superstar’s favor after he exited the ring and hit a SWINGING NECKBREAKER on the concrete on Scorpio. Scorpio also escaped a sleeper hold after getting to the ropes, but he was unable to survive the COBRA HOLD and had to submit. Scorpio accumulated three fatigue tokens, and Superstar accumulated seven tokens, which has to make his opponent in the quarterfinals, #4 seed "The Crippler" Ray Stevens, feel very confident. |

LNWA Thursday Night Television Title Tournament Special Super Card
Live from The Cow Palace in San Francisco, CA
LNWA Television Title Tournament Finals *Prior to the match Gordon Solie interviewed The Great Kabuki and his manager Gary Hart. Hart discussed the work put in by The Great Kabuki, and the disrespect that had been shown to his charge by his low seeding in the tournament. He said that that the LNWA Board of Directors and The LNWA fans will see just how wrong they were once the match begins.*
*Additionally, “Mean” Gene Okerlund conducted an interview with “Hot Stuff’ Eddie Gilbert who expressed an aura of confidence heading into the final match. Gilbert noted that he would be keeping an eye out for THE GREEN MIST and that he The Great Kabuki should watch himself or he might get burnt!*
#2. “Hot Stuff” Eddie Gilbert vs. #9. The Great Kabuki w/Gary Hart
“Hot Stuff” Eddie Gilbert became the first LNWA Television Champion after he pinned The Great Kabuki in 11:17 following a HOT SHOT. Gilbert was in control for the majority of the match, which included several brawls outside the ring. It also saw both men try to hit their illegal moves, with Gilbert successfully connecting on a FIREBALL blasting Kabuki in the face with it. The pinfall attempt was interrupted by a distraction from Gary Hart. Gilbert then hit a DDT on Kabuki and attempted a second pinfall, only to have his pin interrupted a second time by Hart, at which point Kabuki unsuccessfully attempted to spray GREEN MIST into Gilbert’s face. Gilbert ended the match a few moments later when he hit the HOT SHOT. As the show went off the air, Gilbert stood in the ring with a smug look on his face as Commissioner Teddy Long handed Gilbert the LNWA Television Title belt, which referee Joey Marella strapped around Gilbert’s waist. |

As was announced this past Tuesday on our Tuesday Night News, LNWA Commissioner Teddy Long announced that there would be a press conference announcing a huge new signing to the LNWA, who would be the fourth and final participant in this June's LNWA Pay Per View, LNWA #1 Contenders, #1 Contenders World Heavyweight Title Tournament. That press conference happened today and to say that it was not newsworthy would be a blatant lie. Commissioner Long announced the signing of this new talent at a press conference held at The Riviera Casino in Las Vegas. And, to a surprise of everyone in attendance, the wrestler signed was The Man The Call Sting! However, the signing was not the biggest news to come out of the press conference, when it was interrupted by Big Van Vader and his new manager, Gary Hart. Vader then brutally attacked Sting delivering a devastating POWER BOMB to Sting on the press conference podium, clearly injuring the new talent. Hart then issued a challenge to Sting to wrestle for his spot in the LNWA World Heavyweight Title Tournament at next Saturday night's LNWA Main Event Wrestling weekly TV show. Sting accepted the challenge, but fans and analysts wonder if Sting will be healthy in less than 14 days' time. However, Sting said he is not one to ever back down from a challenge. What will happen? Only time will tell, one thing is certain Commissioner Long and the LNWA Board of Directors allow wrestlers to settle their differences in the ring rather than issuing suspensions. We will see what happens next Saturday on LNWA Main Event Wrestling! This has been a Legends National Wrestling Alliance Tuesday Night News BREAKING NEWS BRIEF! I'm Gordon Solie, and goodbye from the Sunshine State! |

Saturday Night Legends National Wrestling Alliance Special Event
Announcement LNWA Commissioner Teddy Long
Live from The LNWA Saturday Main Event Studio
*During the time between the quarter final and semifinal rounds of the Legends National Wrestling Alliance Special Matches Titles and Legends National Wrestling Alliance World Women's Title tournaments, Commissioner Teddy Long provided an update on matches at the first Legends National Wrestling Alliance Saturday Main Event TV taping that will have implications for the next Sunday's Legends National Wrestling Alliance June Pay Per View: #1 Contenders. Long appeared in the studio to announce the qualifying matches for the first batch of some of those tournaments.*
*The camera comes from a black screen on Legends National Wrestling Alliance Commissioner Teddy Long who is standing behind a podium. He pauses to look down his present padfolio looks up at the camera, smiles, and begins to speak.*
Teddy Long: Good evening fans. Tonight we have seen some fantastic action between the best in their respective fields, and we are rapidly approaching the crowning of our two final champions, here tonight! However, this means that we are getting close to our first Pay Per View, which is next Sunday, live from the historic D.C. Armory, and I know you know the event I am talking about, LNWA #1 Contenders. Fans in attendance and on pay per view will see mini tournaments to crown #1 contenders for each of our titles! And, during this break in our tournament action, I figured I'd reveal some of the qualifying matches that we have for our Television Title Tournament. Those matches will be taking place this Saturday during our first ever LNWA Saturday Main Event television program. There will be two qualifying matches for each title belt, and two wrestlers that will automatically qualify for the mini tournaments. Some of the competitors will be newly signed talent, and others will be talent that fans are familiar with.
*Long pauses before continuing.*
Teddy Long: As you know, The Great Kabuki received an automatic qualification to wrestle at #1 Contenders due to his runner up finish in our Television Title Tournament. Additionally, "The Crippler" Ray Stevens also received an automatic entry in the tournament. Now, the two qualifying matches for the LNWA Television Title #1 Contenders tournament, that will take place on next Saturday's LNWA Saturday Main Event are as follows:

Saturday Night Legends National Wrestling Alliance Special Event Special Matches Title Tournament and Women’s World Title Tournament Live from The Historic ECW Arena in Philadelphia, PA and The Riviera Casino in Las Vegas, NV Commentary from the LNWA Saturday Main Event Studio by Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby “The Brain” Heenan
Semifinals Round #1. Abdullah The Butcher vs. #4. “Wild” Bull Curry in a hardcore Texas Death Match
In a shocking upset, #4 seed “Wild” Bull Curry won an all out brawl of a hardcore Texas Death match by pinfall in 18:19 after he hit BRASS KNUCKLES on #1 seed Abdullah The Butcher. The match saw both men brawl all over the arena and use multiple foreign objects including pipes, sound equipment boxes, fire extinguishers, steel chairs, and lighting cables. The match, at one point, ended up in a parking lot, where Abdullah The Butcher was thrown into the windshield of a car. Butcher was bloodied and wore a mask of crimson, before finally succumbing to the BRASS KNUCKLES. Curry moves onto the finals later tonight, which will be a ladder match, where he will face the winner of Cactus Jack vs. Killer Kowalski for the right to be the first ever Legends National Wrestling Alliance Special Matches champion. Butcher was injured for 12 cards and took ten fatigue tokens. Curry accumulated 3 fatigue tokens.
#1. Fabulous Moolah vs. #4. Sherri Martel
Fabulous Moolah moved onto the finals of the Legends National Wrestling Alliance Women’s World Title when she pinned Sherri Martel in 9:23 with a SMALL PACKAGE. The match included two brawls on the outside, with both Moolah and Martel winning one brawl. Moolah was unable to keep Martel down for a 3-count after hitting a BODY PRESS. Martel ended up losing by pinfall, when Moolah surprised her with a SMALL PACKAGE after Martel executed a scoop slam. Moolah awaits the winner of the Mildred Burke vs. Trish Stratus semifinal match, whom she will meet in the tournament finals.
#2. Cactus Jack vs. #6. Killer Kowalski in a Table Match
In a train wreck of a Table Match, Cactus Jack pinned Killer Kowalski in 12:49 after a DOUBLE-ARM DDT. The match saw both men try to use the table, with Kowalski and Jack unsuccessfully breaking the table in their first attempts. Kowalski had been dominating the match, until he attempted to smash Jack’s head into the table but Jack reversed the move, smashing Kowalski’s head into the table. Jack never went off of offense the rest of the match, and the train wreck of high spots came when Jack set up two tables on top of each other inside the ring, and then placed Kowalski on top of the tables. Jack then leaped from the top rope onto Kowalski, sending both men through the tables, and causing a tremendous amount of damage to Kowalski in the process. Jack then hit a DOUBLE-ARM DDT for the pinfall victory. Kowalski and Jack both accumulated five fatigue tokens each. Cactus Jack moves onto the tournament final later tonight, which will be a ladder match!
#2. Mildred Burke vs. #3. Trish Stratus
In a minor upset, #3 seed Trish Stratus defeated Mildred Burke by pinfall in 10:19, following a second STRATUSFACTION. Burke was on offense for much of the match, getting a submission attempt and a pinfall attempt on Stratus before Stratus was able to mount much of an offense. The match turned in Stratus’s favor when Burke tossed her out of the ring, and Stratus grabbed Burke’s legs and pulled her out of the ring, whipping her into the ring post. Stratus then put on a clinic, getting several pinfall attempts after Air Canada, the Stratusphere, and a spinebuster, before hitting the first of two STRATUSFACTIONS. Burke was able to kick out of all of the pinfall attempts, but was not so lucky following a second STRATUSFACTION. Burke accumulated 9 fatigue tokens, and Stratus accumulated 2 fatigue tokens. Stratus moves onto the main event of tonight’s special event, where she will face Fabulous Moolah to determine the first Legends National Wrestling Association Women’s World Champion! |
