From a sold out Neyland Stadium in Knoxville ,Tennessee
The day long festivities started with a special meet and greet from some of the USWA stars and various vendor booths!
It was followed by a Brad Paisley concert!
A huge fireworks diplay signals the start of tonight's exciting night of wrestling !
The Tennessee Air National Guard presented our nation's colors!
The National Anthem was then performed by 4 time grammy nominee- Ingrid Andress
Halfway thru her singing of the anthem the stunned crowd was horrified at how bad she was butchering the anthem ! But they popped like crazy when the sound of breaking glass hit and STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN made his way down to the ring where he hit a stunner on Ingrid to put an end to her horrendous rendition ! As sge was carted from the ring, the crowd was treated to the sound of the greatest performance of the anthem ever as Whitney Houston's rendition blared out!
LANCE RUSSELL:"Fans, only in the USWA will you get a crazy beginning to the Bash ! And we have one heck of a crad as we have three world title matches here tonight along with both the USWA Tag and Tv titles on the line! We have so much action going on tonight so let's send it to the ring and get the action started!"
1st Match:National Tag Team Championship
The TEXAS OUTLAWS (c) vs THE BOLSHEVIKS w/ JIMMY HART
This one starts fast and furious as a donnybrook is going on! The odd thing is that the crowd is cheering the OUTLAWS in this one!
Eventually the rugged NICKOLAI VOLKOFF uses his size and strength to slow down the action as he has his way with TERRY FUNK! The Russians spend several minutes keeping FUNK in their side of the ring and use lots if tags and double teaming to keep FUNK in dire straights! HANSEN tries several times to help his partner but the ref forces him outta the ring which allows the Russians to put an even worse beating on FUNK!
Finally HANSEN has had enough and this time shoves the ref outta the way and starts cleaning house! BORIS is tossed from the ring and HANSEN posts him! FUNK breaks free from VOLKOFF and makes the tag to HANSEN who exchanges forearm smashes to the side of the head with VOLKOFF!
Surprisingly VOLKOFF wins this battle and wears down STAN with a bear hug that last a few minutes! HANSEN then rakes VOLKOFFS eyes to break the hold! Both men are down but VOLKOFF tags in BORIS first who stomps and kicks HANSEN! BORIS body slams the big man from borger and climbs to the top turnbuckle and then comes off with a flying head but! HANSEN moves, BORIS hits the mat hard allowing HANSEN to make the tag ! FUNK start punching and slapping the stunned BORIS and when VOLKOFF runs in to make the save, HANSEN runs in and hits him with the latiat which knocks him over the top rope to the floor! A frantic JIMMYN HART tries to help VOLKOFF backm into the ring but as this goes on, FUNK and HANSEN double body slam BORIS and crazy ass FUNK climbs the turnbuckle and hits a moonsault to get the pin! And the TEXAS OUTLAWS retain their National Tag Team Titles!!

2nd Match: KEVIN SULLIVAN w/ CAPTAIN LOU ALBANO vs TAZ

TAZ doesnt give SULLY achance to recover and goes out on the floor after him! ALBANO tries to get between the two and TAZ knocks him on his ass! TAZ throws SULLY into the guard rail and ringside steps before tossing him back in the ring! He spends the next few minutes hitting SULLY with various suplexes and only ALBANO'S timely interference saves SULLY from losing this! Eventually ALBANO'S distraction allows SULLY to take over and SULLY stomps and punches his way to an advantage but as this is happening the crowd pops as SULLY's old partner BUZZ SAWYER makes his way to ringside and attacks ALBANO and power slams him on the floor! This gets SULLY'S attention and he goes to leave the ring to help ALBANO but in doing so he gets dragged back in by TAZ who hits SULLY with an over head suplex and gets the pinfall!
SAWYER points at SULLY, laughing maniacally and heads to the back as ALBANO is still out on the floor!

At one point BARRY rebounds off the ropes and damn near kills HHH with a flying lariat! However during the cover, HHH gets his foot on the ropes breaking the count ! This is when HHH turns to roughhouse tactics and eventually hits the pedigree and covers! 1....2...and the bell sounds signaling the end of the 10 minute time limit!
An angry HHH grabs the tv title from the refs hands, looks at it and then throws it down on BARRY and leaves the ring!

Both DYNAMITE and DAVEY are already busted up from that pre match attack and it slows them down as the HERDERS take full advantage and continue their onslaught! DYNAMITE is getting the worse of it but eventually he ducks under a clothesline and rolls over to make the hot tag to DAVEY BOY! DAVEY is cleaning house and press slams both HERDERS!

SULLY leaves the ring as ALBANO leaves ringside and PIPER, ever the opportunist, simply covers BUZZ and gets the pin and retains his world tv title!
