Taped at WMC-TV5 Studios in Memphis , Tenn. and televised on EspnPlus
The fans buzz as we see Ivan Koloff make his way to ringside watching on. Jimmy Hart climbs the ringapron and takes Koloffs chain off the turnbuckles. Madusa climbs up and grabs Hart by the neck! Hart tosses the chain to Nikita...... but Luger intercepts it! Luger nails Nikita with the chain and the Russian Nightmare goes down! Madusa knocks Hart off the ringapron. Luger covers Nikita, 1.......2........ somebody pulls Luger off Nikita and out of the ring. Its........ The Bolshevics....... Boris Zuchuv and Nicolai Volkoff! This brings out, The G-Club, Rick Rude and Jesse Ventura, who attack the Bolshevics! Those 4 men brawl around ringside and to the backstage area as the ref calls for the bell, ruling this bout a no contest! That doesn't sit well with Nikita who clotheslines Luger over the top rope and to the floor, where Madusa is waiting. She hands Luger the NWA World title as they make their way backstage through a very hostile audience.
Nikita starts with Luger, getting his boot up in the corner but leaping off right into a bearhug. Both do slams but miss dropping moves, and in comes Rick Rude. The Russians double-team him, but he quickly no-sells and beats on Ivan, punching him out of a flying axehandle and hitting a shoulderbreaker. Jesse Ventura press-slam & Rude fistdrop get two and Ivan keeps lolling back and flopping around off everything. Nicolai Volkoff pops Rude from the apron and work him over. Ivan pulls out a chain to strangle him, and they repeatedly double-team him. Rude makes a comeback with a shoulderblock and that brings in Nikita & Luger and then Volkoff comes in with another chain but Rude ducks it and hits a Rude Awakening on Volkoff to get the win as Luger and Nikita are brawling around ringside fighting over another chain as several security officials are needed to break up this melee as show fades to black.
LANCE RUSSELL:"Fans as everyone just saw, the battle between NIKITA KOLOFF and NWA World Champion- LEX LUGER, which started in Moscow and has taken it to Mexico has been a wild and wooly affair and so far nothing has been settled!

But it didnt quite work out the way ya wanted it to huh Mr. Crockett,did it?

2nd Match: KEVIN SULLIVAN w/ CAPT. LOU ALBANO vs CHARLIE FULTON
FULTON gives it a try but SULLY is extra mean today and beats the hell outta FULTON! Nothing scientific in this one ! SULLY hits a big double stomp on FULTON'S mid section which takes the wind outa him and he is easily pinned!
LANCE:" Fans , with all the success of the NWA World tour shows going on and how the fans have been reacting, well, the NWA is keeping things going as July is fast approaching and soon it is gonna be time for the NWA GREAT AMERICAN BASH tour !

CORNETTE:" Well LANCE if ya have to know, USWA TV Champion- BARRY WINDHAM was scheduled to face TONY ZANE today in a title defense so i persuade , along with quite a few ben franklins, MR. ZANE , to allow us to take that title shot ionstead and if that big ol' cowboy has an ounce of guts in him, he';ll meet us in that ring right now!"
Against what may be his better judgement, BARRY comes out, hands LANCE the tv title and agrees and hits the ring!
WINDHAM is on fire and CONDREY has no answer! Things get bad quickly as WINDHAM hits DENNIS with a bulldog after only a few minutes! OFC this causes CORNETTE to run in and whack BARRY in the back with the tennis racket! BARRY grans CORNETTE by the collar but before he can do anything, BOBBY EATON runs in and he and CONDREY put the boouts to BARRY! The crowd pops as the EBONY EXPERIENCE run into the ring and start brawling with the MX in the ring,on the floor and to the dressing room! As BARRY catches his breath, he is unaware that HHH has entered the ring and he hits WINDHAM with a vicious clothesline ! HHH then hits BARRY with the pedigree, grabs the tv title, spits on BARRY and throws the title down on his chest before leaving to a chorus of boos!
( rest is kinda badstreeted)
Up next USWA Heavyweight Champion- NIKITA KOLOFF comes out with manager- JIMMY HART, his uncle IVAN KOLOFF and NIKOLAI VOLFF and BORIS ZUCHOFF!
Of course JIMMY HART does all the talking as he runs down that wench Madusa and those dirty, cheating members of the G-Club! HART promises that the Russian Nighjtmare will get that world title from Luger and what better time than on the GAB tour!

SCSA is double teamed until CHRIS ADAMS runs in and makes the save!

Up next, LANCE has an intv with EDDIE GILBERT and JERRY LAWLER who decide that they decided to pool their talents to work together and rule the USWA instead of wasting energy on battling each other! LAWLER specifically talks about worrying more about whjat the fans think or want than worrying about his own career has hurt him in the standings and in the NWA in general and now he is gonna show everyone just why he is called the KING!
5Tth Match: NWA World TV Title match!
ROWDY RODDY PIPER(C) vs PETER SENERCA?
PIPER enters the ring first and starts playing to the crowd as though they shou;ld be honored that he is even here on tv! The crowd is kind of distracting PIPER as the crowd is shocked and pops as TAZ has ebtered the ring! PIPER is protesting as TAZ just attacks and starts to beat the shit outta PIPER! The crowd is loving it as PIPER never recovers from the surprise attack and this eventually turns into PIPER escaping the clutches of the former world tv champ, and PIPER escapes to the dressing room where he gets counted out!
END OF SHOW!!
