There is a lengthy recap of the Rock N’ Roll Express-Dynamic Duo feud, as the first thirty minutes of the show revisits past promos and matches between the two teams.
A replay of the promos to hype the Gangstas-PG-13-THUGS triple threat this week in Knoxville airs.
After replaying Jim Cornette’s heel turn on Bob Armstrong at Volunteer Slam, Armstrong cuts a promo with his son Steve. Bob admits that he was a sucker for Cornette but notes that his four sons can get revenge for him. Steve stumbles through a promo where he threatens to kill Cornette after he beats Buddy Landel..
SMW Champion Landel, Cornette, and the Punisher put over how Landel’s title is not going anywhere because the Punisher has his back. Cornette puts over a handicap match Landel and Cornette are having with Steve in Knoxville.
SMW Tag Team Champions the Dynamic Duo buy time on the program to tell fans that the Rock N’ Roll Express have received their last title shot. Al Snow says that someone recently stole something special out of his bag in the locker room. He says that the Duo know who took it and the guilty person better return it for all hell is going to break loose.
The Last Word: Al Snow’s promo at the end gives a hook for next week’s show, which will finally feature some new matches since the company is going to do its next television taping in Sevierville, Tennessee on June 12. The promotion needs some new talent as a lot of its matchups are growing stale.
