Jimmy Lennon: Harley your match isn’t right now .
Race : Give me that damn mic !! Hey Fernandez, you got some nerve showing up here . I never once got a shot at the last guy that held that belt and now your obviously playing politics to keep that belt out of my hands . Over the last 2 years I have held 3 regional titles and one World title , yet where is my World Television Title shot .
Fernandez gets in the ring .
Manny : Listen up brother , I ain’t backing down from no one all I’ve done is defend this belt . I got my gear in the car . You want a shot , yeah you got it . Let’s do it tonight , brother.
Sam : Fans now this is interesting . Ok ,I’m getting word that Elizabeth Savage has Wally Karbo in the control center. We are going to hear from him . Let’s take a break here and then we’ll hear from him when we come back .
Break
Liz : Welcome back . Mr . Karbo , are we going to see this match tonight .?
Karbo : We had to move some things around . We had to first make a promise to Christian Cage. Tomorrow night in Ottawa at Soutman Hall . He will be wrestling for the North American Cruiser weight championship . Our main event now is Harley Race taking on Manny Fernandez for the World Television Title!!! Gail Kim vs Dakota Kia now opens the show and that match starts now !!!
Gail Kim vs Dakota Kia : So how did we get here ? Over the weekend , Kia won a four way match . Gail is a former champion only losing twice . Once to Li and to Kia last weekend .
Gail , hits a series of Suplexes and then an air raid crash . Then puts on the Queen of Spades . Kia late on the match gets off a series of kicks , from there she hits GTK and then a diving Double Foot Stomp for the 3 .
Sam : Dakota Kia will now take on Xia Li for the North American Woman’s Championship at Summer Sizzler . We’ll have another great match for you when we come back .
Break
Black Tiger vs Prince Puma : This match gets out of hand quickly . BT tries to unmask Puma and bloodies him in the process . Puma wins by DQ !! Black Tiger post match , slams Puma on the floor and then hits a Frog Splash on the outside . Puma is coughing up blood .
Sam : Fans our concern is with Prince Puma right now . While he is being attended to let’s go back to Elizabeth Savage in the Summer Sizzler Control Center .
Liz : Thanks Sam . Fans we are edging closer to June 11th and our Summer Sizzler tour from Tiger Stadium . We can now confirm that Dakota Kia will challenge North American Woman’s Champion Xia Li for the title . We have more big news . Here is Eli Drake .
Eli Drake : Ya know Adrain Adonis . You and I have fought all over the last couple of months . I’ve always respected you until the other night . You want to beat me with a chair . You want to punish me . You should have killed me Adrian Adonis .
I went to Wally Karbo and we had a little talk . This thing ends between us at the Sizzler . We are going to be locked inside a steel cage , no one gets in and no one gets out . On ever section of cage there will be a weapon strapped to it . Adrain Adonis, you and I are going to beat the hell out of one another with those weapons and the only way to win is not answer the 10 count .
Adrain Adonis, I hope you’re ready . I’m bringing Caged Mayhem to your front door . I’m not going to quit . I’m going to beat you senseless . I’m going to make you uglier than you already are , you big dummy . That’s not an insult . That’s just a fact of life .
Liz : So let’s run down the card .

He slows the match down , snapmares his man over and clamps down on a chinkock . Manny works his way to off the mat , Race out of the ref’s line of sight , pulls Manny down by the back of the hair , back into the chinlock.
