Russell: Yeeeeeellloooooo and welcome to another exciting edition of Championship wrestling! It’s that time of the year again and we here at the CWA wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Davey, we have some exciting news for the fans coming out od the Mid-South Coliseum last week, but first, we have to talk about these darned wanted posters showing up here again. This week, the amount on them is a whopping $25,000 for anyone who can injure The King or take the International Title from him. This is getting verrrrrrry serious.
Brown: Yes Lance it is. First of all, Merry Christmas to you and your family and to all of our fans. Now, about those posters. We all believe that they are coming from the AWA World Champion, Chief Wahoo McDaniel. Well, he will be here next week in our studio and we will get a chance to ask him in person. On to a happier subject, we have new Southern Tag Team Champions. The Gilberts, Tommy & Eddie, defeated Fire & Flame in the tournament final. We will have them out here on today’s show. Also, The King,…Hold on, it looks like Lance has some visitors.
  
Russell: Weeeeeelllll Jimmy, it looks like you are missing someone.
Hart: Shut up banana nose! This is the greatest day of my life baby and you aren’t going to ruin it. Yeah, I know that good for nothing Memphis Spoiler is no longer with the First Family. I fired him for losing to that midget, Bill Dundee. But, just like always, Jimmy Hart always comes back stronger! Today, I will unveil my biggest find ever! And when I say big, I mean BIG! Hahahahaha. But before the big debut, let me tell those not so Fabulous Ones something. You cost my Assassins a lot of money by interfering in our tournament match last week and we will get revenge. We want you this Monday Night and if you aren’t chicken, you will show up and taking your beating like men. Also, my Macho Man still wants a piece of Lawler and now that the bounty is up to $25,000, he wants to take you apart piece by piece and collect that money. Monday Night, There is going to be a special Christmas Eve eight man tag team match with My Macho Man teaming with Ric Flair, Buzz Sawyer, and my new find against Lawler, Dundee, Idol, & Rich. We are going settle some scores and collect on the bounty all at the same time! And now, let me introduce to the world the newest addition to the First Family, from Atlantic City, NJ, the man getting ready to step in the ring…
KING KONG BUNDY! Hahahahaha!
Match 1

Russell: Heeeeeeeeyyyy, here they are, the neeeeeeewwww Southern Tag Team Champions, Tommy & Eddie Gilbert! Congratulations on the biiiiiiiig win last Monday guys!
Tommy: Thank you Lance. I can’t tell you how proud of my boy I am. We got in there with the best teams around here and we came out on top! Eddie really pulled his weight and we are wearing gold again. Eddie is turning out to be one heckuva wrestler and an even better man. There is no one I’d rather team with than my son. Son, tell Lance what this means to you.
Eddie: To win the Southern Tag Team Titles is great, but to win them with my dad, my hero, is a dream come true. We’ve held Titles before, but this was a big win for us. We proved you can never count out the Gilberts. Fire & Flame were tough and we have a rematch with them Monday Night. We know it’s going to be a hard match, but we beat em once and we can do it again. And one last thing, from the Gilberts to all of the fans out there, Merry Christmas!
Russell: Merry Christmas to you too Tommy and Eddie and good luck Monday Night!
Russell: Weeeeeeeeelllll, here comes Handsome Jimmy!
Valiant: Woah, have mercy, Lance Russell! (Singing) Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way! Lance Russell, Handsome Jimmy is feeling mighty good today! It’s Christmas time and that’s Handsome Jimmy’s favorite time of the year! Handsome been mighty good this year Lance and I expect to find lots of presents under the tree from jolly ol’ St. Nick! But Monday Night, I got to beat down a real Scrooge in Black Bart. Now, Handsome knows Bart has been bad all year and all he gonna get is coal in his stocking! He’s gonna be in a real bad mood and I know he wants to ruin Christmas for me, but that’s not gonna happen. Handsome gonna put a Christmas whopping on bad Bart and then I’m gonna put my jammies on and get to sleep early so Santa don’t skip over me. Merry Christmas to all the beautiful people and I hope Santa is good to you all. Maybe Lance will even get a new Baxter suit! Alright, alright, have mercy!

The Mad Russian def. Gary Royal with a clothesline
Russell: Fans, heeeeeere they are, Steve & Stan, The Fabulous Ones!
Keirn: Thanks Lance and Merry Christmas to you and all of the fans out there. Last Monday we were cheated in the Southern Tag Team tournament. The Assassins interfered in our match and we returned the favor. Well, Monday Night we will meet them and Stan & I want them bad! They cost us the Southern Titles and with the AWA World Champions coming in next week, they cost us a chance at them too. Right Stan?
Lane: That’s right Steve. Hart’s no good dirty rotten Assassins have cost us a lot, but Monday Night, we are going to take it out in their hides. Boys, you don’t wanna mess with a fired up Fabs, but you decided that’s the way you wanna play, so we will play that way too. We hope all of our fans will come out and cheer us on and then get home safe so all the little kiddies can get in bed early so Santa can come and bring them all of the presents. Lance, it’s gonna be a good one Monday Night!
Russell: Booooooooyyy, it sure sounds like it! Ohhhhhh booooooyyy, heeeere comes The Southern Champion, The Naturrrrrrree Boooooyyyy, Rrrrric Flair.

Christmas Eve, Monday Night, Mid-South Coliseum, Randy Savage, Buzz Sawyer, King Kong Bundy, and yours truly get to take out Lawler once and for all and collect the $25,000. I don’t know which one of us will get the job done, but I do know that it will happen! And if I’m the one to collect the bounty there will be a party on Beale St. with me and all the ladies. Now remember, the Nature Boy likes the girls with full sweaters, 18 – 28 yrs. old. You are all invited to party with the Southern Champion when I collect that bounty. And when Lawler is knocked off, The Nature Boy will get the Title shot at Wahoo next week. Lance, it doesn’t get any better than being Ric Flair. Wooooooooooooo!
Russell: There he goes, he’s a cocky son of a gun, but there is no denying he is a great wrestler. Let’s go to the ring.

Lance, Dutch is going to be at the Mid-South Coliseum Monday Night watchin me tangle with that nasty ol’ Kendo Nagasaki. I am so excited to have Dutch back, Santa don’t even have to bring me any presents. Having Dutch there on the baby Jesus’ birthday is Christmas present enough. Hallelujah! I’m ready to get right, uptight, start to fight, so excited I might not sleep all night. Tell em Dutch!
Mantell: (Still wearing sunglasses and a patch over his right eye and chuckling) Alright Dream calm down. Yes, I will be there Monday Night, but I’m buying a ticket like everyone else. The doctors say I’m improving every day and I don’t want to do anything to mess up. I am still determined to take on Nagasaki next week at the Coliseum, so I’m just going to be there for moral support like all these great fans. All I ask Dream is that you leave just a little bit for me next week. I need to teach that sorry dog that you can’t keep the Dutchman down for long. So, everybody come on out and Dream and me wish you all a Merry Christmas!
Russell: Dutch, I still think you are rushing things, but we trust you know what you are doing. Let’s go to the ring for our next match.
Match 4
Phil Hickerson def. Bill Howard with a shoulderbreaker.
   
Russell: The men joining me need no introduction. King, more wanted posters and a higher bounty. How in the world do you get through this every week?
Lawler: Well, fortunately this week I have three friends with me to watch my back. We know what Savage, Flair, Sawyer, & Bundy want to do Monday Night. They want to hurt me. Austin, Tommy, Billy, and I are going to protect each other and make sure that none of us get hurt. This is a special time of the year for everyone. We all want to have a safe and Merry Christmas and we know those guys want to ruin it for us. Plus, next week is my last chance to win the AWA World Title. A lot is going on Lance and I trust these guys with my health and my life!
Idol: Kingfish, lemme cut in real quick. You have nothing to worry about Dahlin. Me, Tommy, & Billy have your back and we won’t let anyone collect the bounty. This is our Christmas present to you. Plus, I still want to get my hands on Flair, Tommy wants some more of Sawyer, and Superstar wants any of Hart’s men he can get. So King, you are safe and will get your shot at the AWA Title. Right guys?

And Buzz Sawyah, ya beat me with that chain of yours and Ah will get back atcha fer that. That’s a promise! We been through a lot and it’s time to put this feud to a end.
