Smoky Mountain Wrestling Report - August 23, 1992
 
Bob Caudle and "Dirty" Dutch Mantell announcing from Avery County
High School, Newland, North Carolina.
  
* Dutch Mantell tells us he still has some Olympic spirit and will
  be rating the moves and matches.
  
* Mike Sampson  (220 lbs)
        VS.
  "White Lightning" Tim Horner  (230 lbs)  (crowd pops)
  
  Horner performs an arm drag takedown from the second rope.  Mantell 
  rates the move with 2.3.  Dutch explains that the Dirty White
  Boy shouldn't even consider giving such a poor wrestler a title
  shot.  Horner wins with his usual finisher: roll up with a bridge.
  Brisk pace throughout whole match, all scientific.  (Time: 4:12)
  
* Clip of Tim Horner at Muscular Dystrophy fund raiser as the MD
  poster child assists Horner's opponent beat him at arm wrestling.
  
* Interview with Tim Horner.  Caudle thinks Horner deserves a shot
  at the title.  Horner says he can represent the people well as
  champion.
  
  Commissioner Bob Armstrong enters holding a WANTED poster with
  Brian Lee on it offering $10,000 in cash to anyone that can injure
  and put Brian Lee out of Smoky Mountain Wrestling.  Brian Lee
  comes out and says he's not going to hide.
  
* Jim Cornette and Heavenly Bodies taped comments.  Cornette has
  called home and his momma is willing to put up $10,000 to get the
  Fantastics to sign a rematch for the SMW Tag Team titles.
  
  Fantastics taped reply.  No thanks, they say, not even for $10,000
  with they sign the rematch against the Heavenly Bodies.  Perhaps
  if they refuse long enough, the money will increase.
  
* Tony Angel and "Nitro" Danny Davis  (448 lbs)
        VS.
  The Heavenly Bodies (Stan Lane and Dr. Tom Pritchard)
  
  Cornette introduces his team as "...the tag team so sexy they've
  got to wear brown paper wrappers in Boston."  Lane is still bothered 
  by the busted ear drum and wears the protective headgear.
  Crowd boos as loud as they can when Cornette tells them to keep
  quiet to help out Lane's injury.  During the match, Tony Angel
  whips Lane into ropes, but ducks too early and Stan is able to
  apply a neckbreaker.  Mantell rates this with 9.8.  Caudle disagrees 
  and says it should only have been a 6.5.  Heavenly Bodies
  double team on Angel to get pin.  (Time: 3:37)
  
* Future matches: 
     - Cumberland, Kentucky, at the high school, September 12.
     - Knoxville, TN, at the Civic Coliseum, September 4.
        + Dixie Dy-no-mite vs. Killer Kyle (Kyle must get 2 pins in
           15 minutes to win).
        + Paul Orndorff vs. Ronnie Garvin in 2 out of 3 falls.
        + $10,000 bounty match: Heavenly Bodies vs. Brian Lee & Tim Horner.
        + No time limit, No DQ: Rock & Roll Express vs. The Stud Stable.
 
  Tim Horner comments that many of the [face] wrestlers have
  banded together to support Brian Lee.  R&R Express thank the fans
  for the welcome back [after 2 years of separation] and warn the
  Stud Stable that the war isn't going to be over until they say it is.
  
* Paul Lee and "Nature Boy" Buddy Landell  (450 lbs)
        VS.
  Rock & Roll Express (Robert Gibson and Ricky Morton)  (446 lbs)
     (BIG crowd pop)
  
  Before the match, Buddy Landell announced that he liked Paul Lee
  and was going to take him under his wing and use him in the match
  against the Rock & Roll Express.  Dutch called Landell "the REAL
  Nature Boy in professional wrestling."  During the course of the
  match, Jimmy Golden and Robert Fuller joined the announcers.
  Mantell rates Rock & Roll Express at 2.7 which Fuller thinks is too high.
  Landell started the match but avoids tagging in after Lee takes over.
  R&RE dominate and end with a double dropkick for the win.  Afterwards,
  Landell chastises Lee for not tagging out when he was in trouble.
  
* Down and Dirty with Dutch Mantell.  Guest: Dirty White Boy and
  his manager (the Legendary) Ron Wright.
  
  Now that DWB is the SMW Heavyweight Champion, Wright has been able
  to afford the better heart medicine and is going to be able to get
  the hip operation that will allow him to leave the wheelchair.
  DWB claims that there is only greatness in his future.  He vows to
  be a fighting champion.  He'll take on Ronny Garvin, Paul Orndorff, 
  Rock & Roll Express, or even the Heavenly Bodies.  When asked
  about Tim Horner, he replies that Horner is not in the top category 
  for a title shot.
  
* Robbie Eagle  (228 lbs)
        VS.
  "Prime Time" Brian Lee  (280 lbs)  (mild pop)
  
  Squash win for Lee with Cancellation.  (Time 1:38)  Mystery Man, from
  the "Fire on the Mountain" event where the Dirty White Boy won the 
  Heavyweight Championship from Lee becasue his run-in ambush, attacks 
  Lee with body slam, elbow drop, leg drop, and body splash in 25 seconds.
  Leaves Lee stretched out.
  
* "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff  (250 lbs)
        VS.
  "Hands of Stone" Ronny Garvin  (235 lbs)
  
  Dutch comments that this is a PPV caliber main event and that
  Commisioner Armstrong knows what the fans want.  Garvin starts out
  with a headlock and is backed into the corner.  At break, Orndorff
  lands 3 punches and a knee to put Garvin down on the canvas.  Orndorff 
  follows in with kicks to the head and continues to work on
  the head and throat area.  With Garvin back in a corner, Orndorff's 
  punch is blocked by the referee which allows Ronny to deliver
  his own blow.  After several turnbuckle smashes, Garvin goes for
  the pin for a 2-count.  Garvin comes off the ropes and both men
  collide and go down.  Garvin recovers first and sets up Orndorff
  for the piledriver (illegal in SMW).  Orndorff blocks this and
  flips Garvin over and is able to punch his way out of being taken
  down by Garvin.  Orndorff goes for the pin, but Garvin reverses
  for a 2-count.  Mr. Wonderful belts Garvin and signals to the
  crowd for the piledriver as Ronny staggers up in the corner.  Orndorff 
  tries to set up, but Garvin is holding onto the ropes and
  won't come out of the corner.  A punch to the small of the back
  makes Garvin let go.  The referee warns Paul about a DQ if he uses
  the piledriver.  Garvin blocks the move and flips Orndorff into
  the corner.  Garvin follows up with a punch and two headbutts followed 
  by a sleeper.  Garvin goes for a cover, but Orndorff gets
  a leg on the ropes.  Garvin gathers in the leg, but Orndorff get
  the other leg on the ropes.  Orndorff recovers and powers his way
  up.  Garvin reverses and gets Orndorff back-to-back with arms
  locked.  Orndorff kicks out of overhead pin and rakes the eyes of
  Garvin.  Both men are a bit dazed.  Again Garvin recovers enough
  first and lands a savage right cross on Orndorff laying him flat
  out on the canvas.  However, rather than going for the easy cover,
  Garvin lifts up Orndorff for a piledriver.  The referee will not
  allow it, so Garvin stomps Orndorff's wrists, ankles, head and
  stomach.  Orndorff kicks out of pin after 2.  Garvin slams Orndorff's 
  head into the canvas.  Again, Paul kicks out and is able to
  deliver a headbutt to Garvin that staggers them both.  Orndorff
  recovers first this time delivering a knee to the head followed by
  a back breaker.  Garvin gets a leg on the ropes to foil the pin.
  Orndorff then lands a punch to the head from the top rope and signals 
  for the piledriver again.  He sets up, but the referee will
  not allow it.  Orndorff pushes the ref down and starts to lecture
  him.  Garvin rolls Orndorff up from behind but the referee ends
  the match with a DQ of Paul Orndorff.  (Time: 12:08)
  
* Taped comments from Jim Cornette and Killer Kyle.  Heavenly Bodies 
  will collect the $10,000 bounty at Brian Lee's expense and
  will dispose of Tim Horner for free at next Knoxville card.
  
  Stud Stable want to know what Ricky Morton thinks of his partner
  after he brought him into this mess?
  
* Interview with Ronny Garvin.  He says he only came out of retirement 
  to help Brian Lee for one night.  Paul Orndorff has gotten 
  out of hand and Garvin vows to piledrive him out for life.
  
* Next week: Rock & Roll Express vs. Stud Stable.
