Thanks as always to neilybob and barfly2021 for the comments this week. Barfly, I will contact you offline to give you the details about the bootlegs.
The show opens with the tune, "A Girl Like That" by Eleventh Hour playing overhead. TORRIE WILSON and EPICDAVE head down the aisle, accompanied by a pair of bodyguards. The fans clap and cheer as the hosts hit the ring.
Torrie: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the finest production of professional wrestling you will ever witness, brought to you by Patriot Championship Wrestling. It is our privilege to be here in the nation's capital with a Saturday Night Spectacular broadcast! EpicDave, tell us about tonight's action!
EpicDave: It would be an honor. Miss Torrie. We have a couple of very intriguing feature matchups tonight! We are set for a rematch for the Patriot Heavyweight Championship tonight, as the new champion, BOB BACKLUND, is set to defend against 'SUPERSTAR' BILLY GRAHAM. Plus, former World Heavyweight Champion TED DIBIASE is here tonight to battle SGT. SLAUGHTER in a #1 Contender's Match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship! The winner of that match will face the new champion, BRYAN DANIELSON, at next week's pay-per-view broadcast of Heartland Havoc CXIV: Brothers in Arms. Plus- tonight's feature matchups will be streamed live on the Epic Sports Broadcasting Network! Heartland Championship Wrestling is by far the best thing happening in Washington DC these days, fans- so relax, grab yourself a cold one, and enjoy the show!
THE SPOILER* defeated BILLY WICKS**** by submission with the Bionic Claw
EpicDave: Give the assist to ANGELO MOSCA on that one. Mosca made an unexpected appearance about midway through the match to distract Wicks and give Spoiler the chance to turn the momentum.
PEPPER GOMEZ pinned ED 'STRANGLER' LEWIS**** after an airplane spin
THE ROCK 'N ROLL EXPRESS (RICKY MORTON*** & ROBERT GIBSON**) defeated THE POWERS OF PAIN (WARLORD*** & BARBARIAN***) by disqualification when Barbarian whipped Morton with a weight belt
FIT FINLAY*** pinned VADER**** after a Fireman's Carry Hot Shot
EpicDave: Wow! We have seen a couple of significant upsets tonight! Finlay is a man's man- and a rare breed of wrestler who can go toe-to-toe with Vader and stand his ground. But fans- we are heading into tonight's feature matches! So everybody grab another cold one and head over to the Epic Sports Broadcasting Network for the livestream!
RICKY 'THE DRAGON' STEAMBOAT pinned 'HOT STUFF' EDDIE GILBERT*
THE ORIGINAL MIDNIGHT EXPRESS (RANDY ROSE & DENNIS CONDREY) defeated LEX LUGER* & MAGNUM TA when Rose pinned Luger after a Double-Team drop toe-hold elbow drop
EpicDave: A disastrous loss for Luger and Magnum. These guys came together to avenge Sting, and they came to Patriot Championship Wrestling in pursuit of ARN ANDERSON & TULLY BLANCHARD- but so far, they have languished in the depths of the tag team division and their aspirations have gone unfulfilled.
NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP: #1 CONTENDERS' MATCH
TED DIBIASE* defeated SGT. SLAUGHTER** by submission with the Cobra Clutch
DiBiase and Slaughter were both primed and ready for battle, and they had each other well-scouted. The contenders battled evenly until action spilled out of the ring, where Slaughter was distracted by SCOTT HALL. DiBiase seized the moment and belted Slaughter across the back of the head, stunning the big Sarge. When action returned to the ring, DiBiase snatched Slaughter into the Cobra Clutch. Woozy from the blow to the head, Slaughter quickly became disoriented and nearly blacked out before the referee called for the bell.
EpicDave: Congratulations to TED DIBIASE- he is once again the Number One Contender for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. You may not like his methods- and tonight the assist goes to Scott Hall- but you can't argue with the results. DiBiase has earned himself a rematch against BRYAN DANIELSON- and that match will take place on pay-per-view one week from tonight at Heartland Havoc CXIV: Brothers in Arms!
MAIN EVENT: PATRIOT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
BOB BACKLUND** defeated 'SUPERSTAR' BILLY GRAHAM*** by disqualification after interference by The Grand Wizard
The Main Event was a highly competitive battle between two intense rivals. Graham wore down Backlund early and nearly forced him to tap out to the Superstar Bearhug. Backlund surprised Graham, taking the match out to the arena floor and planting Graham with an atomic drop on the arena floor! The Grand Wizard protested, but Backlund rolled Graham back into the ring and clamped on the Crossface Chicken Wing! In desperation, the Grand Wizard reached between the ropes and gouged the eyes of Backlund, breaking the hold. The referee spotted the infraction and called for the disqualification.
Surprisingly, the fans in the DC Armory reacted angrily to the decision, booing the official as he handed the belt back to Backlund.
EpicDave: Wow! A controversial decision by the referee ends the night for Superstar Graham- and gives the win to Danielson. The Grand Wizard is furious! But as you know, here in Heartland Championship Wrestling, the decision of the referee is final- and Bob Backlund is your winner here tonight. Congratulations to Backlund for retaining the Patriot Heavyweight Championship. And with that, fans- we're done here. Thanks for checking us out tonight! Heartland will be back on Wednesday night with a very special show as we celebrate House Show #1200! The stars of Pro Wrestling Mid-America will be tearing it up in New Orleans- and it will be BRUNO SAMMARTINO vs. TERRY FUNK in the Main Event with the Southland Heavyweight Championship on the line. That's our show, and I AM OUTTA HERE!
