JR : That’s incredible . And folks we will have more tag team action coming your way . Right now it’s time for the NWA World Television Championship. Gordon , Roddy Piper has been impressive to say the least .
Gordon : If there was a Bash MVP it would be Roddy Piper . He has fought his way through a virtual of who’s who in the television championship division. Probably the best brawler in our sport . Tonight however he faces a double tough individual.
JR : Gordon , Paul Orndorff has every tool you can have as a wrestler , not to mention so much god given talent . Piper better beware of that Piledriver or we could be looking at new World Television Champion here tonight .
NWA WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP ROWDY RODDY PIPER vs PAUL " MR. WONDERFUL" ORNDORFF : PIPER is his usual arrogant self as he enters the ring but you can see the effect of the recent wars he has had in defense of his world tv title!
ORNDORFF has had his problems with LAWLE and GILBERT as of late but he seems primed and ready for his TV title shot!
ORNDORFF starts out strong with power moves, arm drags and takes control of the first part of this match! But PIPER shows just why he has had a stranglehold on this title and fights back to get control with the help of his usual dirty tactics!
PIPER takes the fight to the outside but ORNDORFF reverses a whip into the guardrail and wisely returns to the ring as we all know that PIPER does some of his best work on the outside! The ROWDY ONE returns to the ring and these two go at it hard! PIPER reverses a turnbuckle whip and goes for a back body drop as ORNDORFF rebounds outta the corner! But PAUL stops his momentum and picks up PIPER for a pile driver as the crowd pops! But PIPER is slick, stops it by grabbing the second rope and then twists ORNDORFF into a small package and with the help of grabbing onto the ropes again, PIPER gets a very dubious pin and retains the world Television Championship.
Gordon : And that’s all she wrote . Jim Roddy Piper just finds a way to win .
JR : You may not like it folks , but you can’t argue his success . Now business is about to pick up Gordon .
Gordon : Well , for every accolade you can say about Piper , you can say about our NWA National Tag Team Champions, the Texas Outlaws . They have held these titles since its inception.
JR : Turning back challenge after challenge . They can brawl with the best of them . Funk , the crazy one and Hansen while not a full load of bricks either , has that Larait , that can end a match in a moments notice.
Gordon : Their opponents a dominant tag team themselves . The former SECW Tag Team Champions who held those titles for over a year . They destroy everything in their path . Big , strong and two nasty attitudes . Jim this will be a Piersixer .
JR : You bet it will and we got it for you right now !!!
NWA National Tag Team Championship: The Texas Outlaws vs Demolition: This match up is a fight from the startas DEMOLITION is trying to rebound after losing their SECW tag team titles recently to the NATURAL DISASTERS! FUNK and HANSEN have been facing a who's who of tag teams thru out the NWA since winning the National tag titles ! AX and HANSEN start things off and both are exchanging punches, kicks, you name it! HANSEN rakes the eyes to get a slight advantage but AX retaliates with one of his own and has HANSEN in dire straights! For the next several minutes DEMOLITION keep HANSEN near or in their corner and work him over pretty damn well! FUNK is stopped any time he tries to make the save! Eventually SMASH misses a charge into the corner which gives STAN a chance to crawl over and make the tag ! FUNK clobbers SMASH and gives a few shots to AX when he runs into the battle!
Eventually all four men are fighting and as the ref sends FUNK back to his corner, AX is holding HANSEN and SMASH hits the ropes and goes to hit HANSEN with a clothesline but HANSEN ducks and SMASH'S clothesline hits AX who goes over the top rope! SMASH turns around and HANSEN hits him with the lariat and gets the pin as the OUTLAWS retain their belts!
Post match, a groggy AX has climbed back into the ring and SMASH goes over to help him up and apologize for the accident! AX hugs SMASH as the fans pop but as they start to leave the ring, AX clobbers him from behind and starts pounding away on SMASH with several double ax handle blows! This leaves SMASH vunerable to not one but two swinging neck breakers which leave him pretty much out of it! AX looks down on his partner, spits on him and leaves the ring to the boos of the stunned crowd.
Gordon : Well the Outlaws continue to roll , but wow !!! What happened ?????
JR : Gordon , Ax lost his damn mind is what happened !!! I’m in shock .
Gordon : We all are , Jim . Maybe cooler heads will prevail later .
JR : In speaking of shock , back on July 6th , Kerry Von Erich shocked the world when he pinned the NWA World Heavyweight Champion, Lex Luger .
Gordon : And since winning that title Kerry Von Erich has cut a run like no other , turning back challenges from Gorgeous George Wagner , Chris Benoit and Nikita Koloff . Tonight however to quote the Wizard of Oz. He has to face a horse of a different color .
JR : Horse hell ! He has to face an angry damn mountain !!! Andre The Giant the WWF Heavyweight Champion. He stands 7’4 . Weighs over 400 pounds !!! A 12 oz Budweiser looks like a match box in this man’s hands . He has made no mistake about wanting that World Heavyweight title. Tonight he has home court advantage. Can he bring gold in his home country?
NWA World Heavyweight Championship Kerry Von Erich vs Andre The Giant : The crowd roars to life as their countrymen makes his way to the ring . Gordon and JR talk about Kerry being 6’2 and looking small in stature next to Andre . He is literally looking up at the big man !!! Kerry bounds off the ropes , hoping for a shoulder tackle , but Andre just sticks out a big paw and knocks him on his ass . Kerry realizes now that if he wasn’t afraid of Andre before , he better be now . Andre snatches Kerry off the mat and hits him with a Buckle Bomb ! Andre covers 1……….2……….foot on the ropes .

Kerry does the old ten mounted punch in the corner , but all that does is piss the big man off and Kerry gets a chokeslam for his troubles !!!
Andre covers 1……….2………Kerry just gets a shoulder off the mat !!! Andre picks Kerry up and headbutts him !!! Kerry staggers backward and falls out of the ring . Andre is smart though , he knows he can’t win the title with Kerry on the floor . He goes out after him . He puts Kerry over one shoulder and goes to lawn dart him into the ringpost, but Kerry gets out back and is able to shove Andre from behind into the post using his momentum ! Andre is busted open !!! The sight of his own blood pisses off the big guy though . He Powerslams Kerry on the outside !!! Now he presses Kerry and tosses him over the top rope into the ring !! JR and Gordon talk about how Kerry has had little to no offense . Just two evasive maneuvers in this match . Kerry staggers to his feet , big boot by Andre !

Andre spins around , another Discuss Punch by Kerry then another fast one and another . Andre is staggered , he falls to one knee . Kerry clamps down on the Claw !!! Andre on two knees . The blood pumping like crazy out of his head . His body goes limp . The ref is yelling for Andre to do something , but there is no response . The ref waves Andre off . The consults with the ring announcer .
Michael Buffer : Ladies and gentlemen at this time , referee Pee Wee Anderson , asked Andre The Giant to respond , but he was unable to do so. For his own safety and the amount of blood loss the referee has called this match .
