1. BUDDY LANDELL vs DIRTY WHITE BOY (jip from Knoxville)- DWB steals Landell's chain, but gets
DQed for it.
2. Cactus Jack v. Bruiser Bedlam . CHRIS CANDIDO "KILLS" THE CAT- Cactus Jack & Tracy Smothers vs Candido &
Boo Bradley is the backdrop for this controversial angle. Chris & Boo lose the match, and start pointing fingers at one
another. They start brawling, but Tammy Fytch blinds Boo with hairspray, and Candido jumps off the top rope onto the
bag that's supposed to have Boo's pet cat "Boots" in it.
3. Cactus Jack talks with Boo Bradley at Boots the cat’s gravesite.
4. ROCK & ROLL EXPRESS (w/Corney) vs THE GANGSTAS, jip from Knoxville- Cornette's racquet comes into play,
and the R&R's win the tag titles. During the post-match brawl, Cornette asks Gangstas to hold Morton, and loads up the
racquet- but instead of turning on Morton, he double-crosses the Gangstas, nailing them with the racquet. The Gangstas
recover, and beat Corny to a bloody pulp, then mangle his knee with the nightstick- some fans are actually cheering
the Gangstas here!
5. Promo – Jim Cornette vows vengeance on the Gangstas.
1/14
6. Boo Bradley v. Scott McKeever.
7. INTERVIEW WITH JIM CORNETTE- Corney is on crutches, and his face is bandaged up. He wants to bring the
Heavenly Bodies back to SMW to get revenge against the Gangstas, and will petition commish Bob Armstrong for their
reinstatement. Armstrong grants his request and a match is signed between the Gangstas and the Heavenly Bodies at the
upcoming Super Saturday Night Fever)
8. SMW TV Champ Buddy Landel v. George South.
9. EDDIE GILBERT "shows up" on SMW TV, delivering a BIZARRE interview- he's upset that Ricky Morton's Dad was honored
at the Night of Legends show, [actually, Morton’s Dad wasn’t honored]. This leads to...

disguised as a bag lady, to- you guessed it- spray Boo's eyes with hairspray. Candido then pours a can
of dog food down Boo's throat! (Censored from TV).
3. INTERVIEW WITH CORNETTE & HEAVENLY BODIES- Jim Ross runs a disclaimer before and after this interview,
but I'm not sure why- nothing offensive, he accuses The Gangstas of profiting on the black vs white issue (Ironic, but not
offensive).

5. New Jack v. Steve Armstrong. ( the match never starts, as Cornette comes out with an injunction, barring the other
Gangstas from ringside in this singles match. The Gangstas flip, and the three gang up on Steve, injuring his knee with
the nightstick until Bob Armstrong makes the save. "How's the family?" is Nu-Jack's parting shot to Bob Armstrong. )
6. The Rock-n-Roll Express v. Unabom & Eddie Gilbert (Unabomb is dressed like Humongous, which was Sid Vicious' old
gimmick. When the mask comes off he looks like- you guessed it, good ol' Sidney Eudy. However, Unabomb was Glen
Jacobs who you'd probably recognize now as KANE! )
1/28
7. The Gangstas v. The Wolfman & Tommy Pitner.
8. SMW TV Champ Buddy Landel v. The Dirty White Boy. (Landell can still sell a punch like no one else. DWB uses

women filing criminal charges against each other. Morton himself, has taken possession of Smothers’ Tag Team belt and has
not returned it. Morton had since promised to sue SMW, and as a result has been fired. Gibson announces that he asked Morton
personally to come back, but refused, effectively ending the Rock & Roll Express as a team. Smothers and Gibson shake hands,
burying the hatchet between them.
But the happy moment doesn’t last long, as Jim Cornette comes out and suggests that the Thugs defend their titles against one of
Cornette’s teams. The Thugs accept, leading to….

as his manager, is seen by many as the hometown hero and is still cheered. Landell nearly puts HBK away cleanly, but
breaks his 3 count because he sees Cornette’s racquet in the ring from a previous [and unrelated] interference attempt.
The confusion allows Michaels to recover enough to get the pinfall on Landell with the superkick. Cornette is pissed
at Landell and the two argue in the ring. Cornette shoves Landell, and the rest of the Militia runs in. Brad Armstrong

attacks Cornette before Corny bails out of the ring.)
15. Int – Brad Armstrong
16. The Thugs v. Al Snow & Unabomb (Loser of the fall leaves SMW with Jim Cornette as the referee. This was Al Snow’s
dream match. Cornette is great as an extremely biased referee doing all of the stuff you’d expect from a heel referee
with the slow counts for the babyfaces and lightning quick counts for the heels. In the end, Cornette is knocked
unconscious, and when the Thugs go for a cover on Al Snow, referee Mark Curtis runs in, grabs Cornette’s hand and
forces him to count to 3! Unabomb must leave Smoky Mountain Wrestling!)

women filing criminal charges against each other. Morton himself, has taken possession of Smothers’ Tag Team belt and has
not returned it. Morton had since promised to sue SMW, and as a result has been fired. Gibson announces that he asked Morton
personally to come back, but refused, effectively ending the Rock & Roll Express as a team. Smothers and Gibson shake hands,
burying the hatchet between them.
But the happy moment doesn’t last long, as Jim Cornette comes out and suggests that the Thugs defend their titles against one of
Cornette’s teams. The Thugs accept, leading to….

as his manager, is seen by many as the hometown hero and is still cheered. Landell nearly puts HBK away cleanly, but
breaks his 3 count because he sees Cornette’s racquet in the ring from a previous [and unrelated] interference attempt.
The confusion allows Michaels to recover enough to get the pinfall on Landell with the superkick. Cornette is pissed
at Landell and the two argue in the ring. Cornette shoves Landell, and the rest of the Militia runs in. Brad Armstrong

attacks Cornette before Corny bails out of the ring.)
15. Int – Brad Armstrong
16. The Thugs v. Al Snow & Unabomb (Loser of the fall leaves SMW with Jim Cornette as the referee. This was Al Snow’s
dream match. Cornette is great as an extremely biased referee doing all of the stuff you’d expect from a heel referee
with the slow counts for the babyfaces and lightning quick counts for the heels. In the end, Cornette is knocked
unconscious, and when the Thugs go for a cover on Al Snow, referee Mark Curtis runs in, grabs Cornette’s hand and
forces him to count to 3! Unabomb must leave Smoky Mountain Wrestling!)

Cornette also announces his newest addition to the Militia, Sgt. Rock. SGT Rock however, is none other than Jacquelyn!
7. Sgt. Rock (Jacquelyn) v. Ron Davis (Cornette provides some distraction, and Jacquelyn scores the pin with a DDT.)
8. Int – Cornette & Sgt. Rock. The Wolfman comes out and objects to Sgt. Rock being signed to wrestle. Jacquelyn then
proceeds to beat the hell out of him!
9. Brad Armstrong v. Headbanger Mosh.
11/18
10. The Dirty White Boy & Tracy Smothers v. The Headbangers
11. Int – Jim Cornette. Butch Cassidy comes out looking defeated and brings Cornette a present. Even though presents and
cakes NEVER work out in Cornette’s favor, he still chooses to accept the gift and open it. Cornette only finds a plastic bag
which Cassidy immediately takes and chokes Cornette out with it! Cornette and presents is like Charlie Brown and that
football that Lucy keeps pulling away from him. He knows it’s going to come back to bite him, but he just HAS to open it
anyway.
12. Terry Gordy v. Ron Davis. (Jacquelyn runs in and attacks Davis after the match, and the Wolfman runs in to make the
save. Gordy takes a leather strap and begins whipping Wolfman, but Brad Armstrong comes in and runs Gordy off.)
13. Int – Buddy Landell
14. Int – Robert “King of Rock” Gibson cuts a heel promo in the ring. Tracy Smothers comes out and confronts Gibson, and they
wind up brawling in the ring. Jimmy Del Rey of The Heavenly Bodies runs in to help double team Smothers until the
Dirty White Boy comes in to make the save.
15. Bobby Blaze & Buddy Landel v. Tommy Rich & The Punisher (Butch Cassidy runs in afterward and beats the hell out of
Cornette until Sgt. Rock runs in and attacks Cassity. The Wolfman then comes in to take care of Sgt. Rock.)
16. Int – Buddy Landell, Wolfman & Butch Cassidy. If that’s not a real Motley Crew, I don’t know what is.
SMOKY MOUNTAIN TV 11/25 – 12/2

4. The Heavenly Bodies & Robert Gibson v. The Dirty White Boy, Tracy Smothers, & Brad Armstrong
The show ends promising that next week would contain highlights from Thanksgiving Thunder. Unfortunately, this wouldn’t happen, as the 11/26 show would be the final show put on by Smoky Mountain as financial problems would force the promotion to go out of
business. As a result the 11/25 broadcast would be the final airing of SMW TV
