The SMW Asylum Tennessee Fairgrounds Nashville, TN 02-17-2011 "Big" Jim Hess: SMW Fanfest was a great success, and the rabid fan base of SMW flocked in to see a glimpse of the future in professional wrestling, as well as taking in a great show by the Insane Clown Posse. Many of the SMW stars were eager to give statements regarding the return of SMW to the LWA, and their personal futures in wrestling. Before we get to that, I have a report of an unfortunate incident that took place at SMW Fanfest. Toward the end of the autograph sessions, a fan asks Vader to take a picture. Then says to him as he is walking away, "Hey you should get into MMA instead of all this fake wrestling stuff." I think the fan meant it as a joke, but Vader did not find it funny. Vader gets out of his chair and grabs the fan by the neck. lifting him above his head with both hands, yelling at him, asking him if this feels fake to him. A second fan grabs the chair Vader was sitting in, and proceeds to clobber Vader in the back with the chair. An infuriated Vader winces and throws the first fan to the ground. Several security guards restrain Vader as the second fan gives himself up to security, laughing hysterically as Vader is restrained.Here are the statements from various SMW wrestlers, obviously excited and anxious to get things started in the LWA: "Wildfire" Tommy Rich: The SMW is back!!! There is no way I would not be a part of this, no matter what I had going on. There will be a wild fire rushing through the SMW, and his name is Tommy Rich! "Ravishing" Rick Rude: SMW is lucky to have a man with the talent of Rick Rude. It will be a matter of time before The Ravishing One has a gold belt around his perfect waist. You can take that to the bank. Bobby "The Brain"Heenan: How does the best manager in the LWA find himself looking for work? The SMW made a wise decision bringing me in, but they are no Brain. My home will be in SMW, but my Heenan family will know no bounds as I take the Heenan Family worldwide. The Mountie: Great to be home in the SMW. And I take pride in my home. This territory looks to be a haven for rednecks and low-lifes. The Mountie will clean up this territory and keep it free of all that is wrong in wrestling today. My first order of business is to win the MAT Classic, and show the rest of the SMW as well as the LWA that The Mountie means serious business. Robert Gibson of the Rock N Roll Express: Wow, look at the great turnout at SMW Fanfest!! This is a great sign for things to come in SMW. The R&R Express is back home, and is primed to become the first SMW Tag Team Champions, in the re-birth of Smoky Mountain Wrestling!!! Violent J of The Insane Clown Posse: Juggalo Nation unite! The ICP is here to rule the world. All you ICP fans come down for the concerts and the great wrestling action! Who knows what you will see in the SMW when the Juggalo Nation and the SMW join forces!!!! Gorilla Monsoon: I loved my time back in the old SMW, and it is really great to be back. And no, unfortunately Haystacks Calhoun will not be joining me at this time. I called him and said "Hey Stacks, King is opening SMW again! Let's get back together and recapture our glory as the most dominant team in the SMW, as well as the LWA." Then he cuts me off and tells me his name is Billy Dee Calhoun, and not to call him Stacks anymore. Then was going on and on about The Talent and how he is rolling in money, living the good life. I told him that to give me a call when he is serious about making real money and dominating the LWA once again. I really think he went off the deep end. "Big" Jim Hess: As you can see, SMW Fanfest turned out to be a great success, fun, food and autographs were had by all. An unfortunate turn of events with Big Van Vader. We have later learned that the second "fan" that came to the aid of the first fan was none other then independent wrestler Necro Butcher. Necro has since signed on with SMW, and has challenged Big Van Vader to a Falls Count Anywhere match at our first card tomorrow night. Personally I think this guy has a death wish. That's all I have from SMW FanFest, and if you haven't already, make sure and buy your tickets for SMW FRIDAY FIRESTORM!!!!!

Card #1 The SMW Asylum Tennessee Fairgrounds Nashville, TN 02-18-2011 As the event starts, the crowd is treated with a performance by the Insane Clown Posse. www.youtube.co/watch?v=TCzn95F22_MHandicap Match Gorilla Monsoon vs Sudden Impact (local)After pummeling SI Black to start the match, it basically turned into a one on one match, and SI Blue was no match, getting pinned after Monsoon hits the AIRPLANE SPIN AND SLAM. "Ravishing" Rick Rude w/ Bobby Heenan vs The Greatest Bolo (local)Rick Rude was definitely on his game, and Bolo never got any offense in, getting pinned easily after a SUPLEX. After the match, Heenan grabs the mic and tells the crowd that the SMW roster is in for a RUDE AWAKENING in the near future. "Wildfire" Tommy Rich vs The MountieThe Mountie spouting off on how he will rid the SMW of all the garbage gets rudely interrupted as the very popular Tommy Rich rushes the ring. The match quickly goes outside the ring after the initial brawl, and The Mountie gets disqualified for ramming Rich into the steel post. The Mountie grabs the shock stick and heads back toward Rich. Rich retaliates with a right hand stunning The Mountie, forcing him to retreat to the locker room before anything can happen. The SMW crowd gives Tommy Rich a great ovation as he leaves ringside. The Heartbreak Express (Phil/Sean Davis) vs The Insane Clown Posse (Violent J/Shaggy 2 Dope)Sean Davis grabs the mic and talks about how the HBX was from Every Woman's Dream, and there is no team in the SMW or the LWA that can touch them. Out storm the ICP and challenge them to a match, saying they are more like Every Woman's worst nightmare. When the action finally started, it was basically a wild brawl. The referee finally saw enough when Phil Davis gets caught hitting Shaggy 2 Dope with a FOREIGN OBJECT. (After the bell sounds, Violent J charges in and punches Phil, knocking him off of Shaggy. Sean Davis meanwhile staggers back into the ring with a steel chair and clobbers Violent J in the back. The Heartbreak Express leave the ringside area to a chorus of boos.)Rock and Roll Express (Robert Gibson/Ricky Morton) vs Vampiro/Judas MesiasThe crowd erupts with the local heroes the R&R Express hit the ring to take on the unorthodox pairing of Vampiro and Judas Mesias. It may have been unorthodox, but it was a great match. Everyone involved had at least 3 tokens, including the bleeding Judas Mesias who had 5. The continuity of the Express was too much, getting bailed out of trouble with consistent defensive tags. Ricky Morton pins Vampiro after a second DOUBLE DROPKICK lands on Vampiro. Mesias seemed unhappy with Vampiro for losing the fall, pointing to the blood running down his forehead. MAIN EVENT: FALLS COUNT ANYWHERENecro Butcher vs Big Van VaderThis match was stemmed from the altercation that happened at SMW Fanfest the night before. Vader comes out to his familiar Vader Time music, but Necro does not seem intimidated. Crazy or confident? The brawl starts out fast and furious, with the Necro Butcher actually holding his own. They battle to the back and head into the locker room. Vader slams Necro on the locker room floor but only manages a 2 count. The action spills out into the concession area where Necro hits Vader with a keg of beer!! Necro grabs Vader and shoves him into the mens room!! Necro hits Vader with a garbage can, and Vader is obviously dazed. The action heads backstage where Necro grabs a broom and breaks the handle over Vader's head!!! Vader reverses things, firing Necro into a concession stand. Vader obviously thinks Necro is getting the better of him, and drags Necro back to the ring. Vader dominates the action once it returns to the ring. A bloodied Vader eventually delivers the VADER POWER BOMB in the center of the ring and the referee makes the 3 count. The crowd gives both men a standing ovation, and both wrestlers are helped to the back, given a nice ovation. "Big" Jim Hess: That's all we have from The SMW Asylum. Make sure and tune in tomorrow morning for Smoky Mountain Saturday, for highlights of tonight's show, interviews, and more!! The main event will be the crowning of the new SMW TV Champion as....... (Hess is interrupted while he was standing in the ring closing the show. 2 men walk down the aisle. 2 men banned from the LWA since it's reopening..................Shane Douglas and Bam Bam Bigelow!!! ("Big" Jim Hess drops the mic in the center of the ring and bails out of the ring as Douglas and Bigelow are entering.)Douglas: You know what, the LWA has held me out long enough. The Franchise sits at home and sees the old press clippings. King declares SMW Dick Flair country.....what a joke. Only reason Flair is on top is his ability to politic and keep people like me and Bam Bam out of the LWA. And where is the Burger King Jerry Lawler? Mr. I held the SMW together when everyone else left. Where did that get you? Bankrupt, busted and disgusted, forced to go back to work in some 2 bit promotion in the Rocky Mountains. You aren't the king of shit Lawler. The real "King of Memphis" is Shane Douglas. Which is why next week, Commissioner King will hand over the SMW Heavyweight Championship to the Franchise. I am officially the Undisputed King of Memphis. All you hicks can go back to your trailer parks and tell Ma and Pa what you hillbillies saw at the wrasslin' matches tonight. The King Of Memphis will....... (Douglas is rudely interrupted by some familiar music in the SMW.) www.youtube.co/watch?v=Wi9hsypGrJE(Douglas instructs Bigelow to go up the ramp to cut off Lawler. Bigelow is motioning, standing on the ramp encouraging Lawler to come down the aisle, while Douglas is obviously angered still in the ring. The crowd erupts as a familiar face comes through the crowd. It is "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels!!!!!! Douglas hears him enter the ring, but it is too late. Douglas turns around to see what is going on, and walks into the SWEET CHIN MUSIC. Security as well as Bigelow rush the ring, but Michaels escapes through the crowd. Bigelow tends to Douglas as the show ends. )("Big" Jim Hess grabs the mic, and tells fans to make sure to tune in for continuing updates on this situation as well as the rest of the card on tomorrow's Smoky Mountain Saturday.) (end of show)

Card #2 Smoky Mountain Saturday WTVK Television 02-19-11 10AM Wrestling clips are shown…"Don't change that channel all that flippin' around! You're about to see the hottest show in town. The biggest stars and the biggest brawls, the biggest hits and the biggest falls. Non-stop action no messin' around, pretty soon we're comin' to your town. The way you like it, the way it used to be...Smoky Mountain Wrestling's on TV.""Big" Jim Hess is in studio to kick off the show!!!!"Big" Jim Hess runs down the action from last nights big house show, Friday Firestorm:(Highlights are shown of brief clips of ICP opening performance, Rick Rude gyrating in the center of the ring after winning his match, Tommy Rich stunning The Mountie knocking the Shock Stick from his hand, a shot of Phil Davis hitting Shaggy 2 Dope with a steel chair followed by Sean Davis delivering a chair shot to Violent J, R&R Express delivering the DOUBLE DROPKICK on Vampiro and the 3 count, as Mesias points to the blood running down his forehead. And several clips of the Necro/Vader match, ending with Vader getting the 3 count in the center of the ring. Finally the last clip shows Shane Douglas at the tail end of his not made for TV rant followed by the HBK SWEET CHIN MUSIC.)Big Jim Hess: Wow, what a night at The SMW Asylum!!!! Shane Douglas returns to the LWA in controversial fashion....only to be interrupted by Shawn Michaels!!! More news on that situation as it develops, hopefully by the end of the show. The Necro/Vader match was insane. If you didn't get down to the FRIDAY FIRESTORM show, you really need to catch us next week. Watch for ticket information in the upcoming days!!!!! When we come back we head to the ring, as "The Franchise" or should I say "The King of Memphis" Shane Douglas makes his debut, as well as a battle royal to crown our first SMW TV Champion!!!! The Douglas speech alone was worth the price of admission alone! Don't get left out in the cold next week!!! When we come back, our opening bout...... (commercials) "The Franchise" Shane Douglas w/ Bam Bam Bigelow vs Dennis Stamp (local)Douglas looks angered in this match from the start. Stamp gets early offense in, but doesn't really phase him. Douglas wins easily after the BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX. (After the match, Douglas grabs the mic and rants about being "blindsided" by HBK at last nights show. Much of the rant was edited out due to the graphic language. HBK's little stunt will not stop him from accepting the SMW Heavyweight Title at next week's FRIDAY FIRESTORM show. Then he says he manged to get Bigelow in the main event Battle Royal, and both he and Bigelow will be champions by the end of next week's show.)(Commissioner King comes out to the ringside area and informs Douglas that the good news that it is true that he did get Bigelow into the Battle Royal.......The bad news is that he will not be handed the SMW Heavyweight Championship. To get it, he will have to face Shawn Michaels at the Deuces Wild PPV to do it!!!)(Douglas and Bigelow are irate as we go to commercial.)(commercials) Rock and Roll Express (Robert Gibson/Ricky Morton) vs The Postmen (local)The local team The Postmen never got on track, as Wally The Slow Ass Postman found himself quickly in the GIBSON LEGLOCK. Gibson releases the hold when Postman Pat enters the ring. Gibson then tags Morton and they immediately deliver the DOUBLE DROPKICK on Wally and they get the easy win. (Robert Gibson and Ricky Morton wave and shake hands with fans as they leave the ringside area.)(commercials) (Bobby "The Brain" Heenan approaches Big Jim Hess with the other 2 members of the Heenan Family, Ravishing Rick Rude and Big Van Vader.)Big Jim Hess: Welcome to Smoky Mountain Saturday Mr. Heenan. The world is wondering, what is going on with your men's actions in the TCW? Heenan: I got this guys. What you and the humanoids don't realize Big Jim, is that the ingrates in TCW did nothing to keep me there. I brought all those guys to the top....all of them. And when it was time for them to stand up for me......nothing. That is why the Heenan Family will rise again, starting with these 2 men by my side. Hess: It did seem like The Valentines were trying to help you guys, yet your 2 men attacked them anyways. And what was the deal with you sending El Gigante to TCW to attack The Big Show? Heenan: I have no comment about the Valentines. The Big Show is a big ingrate. And El Gigante will handle that business for me like he is being paid to do so. And Frank Gotch is the biggest ingrate of them all. We got to prepare for the main event, come on boys....... Hess: Thanks Mr. Heenan.......Not much answered there. Are the Valentines still considered part of the Heenan Family? Most of his wrath seems to be in the direction of Frank Gotch and The Big Show. Heenan definitely still has connections to TCW, and his talk of taking the Heenan Family worldwide looks to be more than lip service. When we come back, our main event!!!!! (commercials) MAIN EVENT: Battle Royal to crown first SMW TV ChampionParticipants: Bam Bam Bigelow, Tommy "Wildfire" Rich, Vampiro, Judas Mesias, The Mountie, Necro Butcher, Gorilla Monsoon, Big Van Vader, "Ravishing" Rick Rude, Phil Davis, and Sean Davis.Big Van Vader eliminates Sean Davis. Big Van Vader eliminates Necro Butcher. Tommy Rich eliminates Phil Davis. Vampiro eliminates Big Van Vader when he misses a turnbuckle charge and tumbles over the rope. Vader is livid.

Gorilla Monsoon eliminates Vampiro. Gorilla Monsoon eliminates Bam Bam Bigelow. Judas Mesias eliminates Gorilla Monsoon. Winner and NEW SMW TV Champion: JUDAS MESIAS(Mesias holds the SMW TV Championship belt up in the air while laughing demonically as his music plays as the show goes off the air.) (end of show)
