Bennett: Good evening and welcome to Sin City Showdown. I’m Rob Bennett and tonight I’m joined at the broadcast position by Les Thatcher. Les, tonight we have a great program. Dick The Bruiser and The Crusher will try to gain a measure of revenge for their friend Junkyard Dog as they take on the One Drop Power Movement. Take a look at what happened last week.
JYD maintained the advantage and went for a pin after more crawling headbutts. Rocky Johnson and Norvell Austin stormed the ring and attacked JYD, beating him down. The ref called for the disqualification. JYD was hurt badly and needed to be taken from the ring on a stretcher.Thatcher: A heinous, unprovoked attack by the One Drop Power Movement. D’Lo Brown was moved to the consolation bracket but believes he made his quest easier by eliminating one man from the Showdown TV Title Tournament.
Bennett: Speaking of the tournament, we have another first round match tonight. Also, the LWA World Tag Team Champions, The Midnight Express are here. They’ll be facing our very own SCW Tag Team Champions, Jesse The Body Ventura and Diamond Dallas Page in a non-title match. Then in our main event, just as Madkanter announced last week, a triple threat match forcing SCW Heavyweight Champion Larry Zbyszko to defend his title against Harley Race and Ravishing Rick Rude. If that wasn’t enough, Madkanter, himself, will be the referee.
Thatcher: I applaud Madkanter for taking more of a hands on approach to maintaining some order in this territory. Mr. Zbyszko pulled a fast one at New Beginnings, last month, and I don’t think Madkanter will let that happen again.
Bennett: I would have to agree with that. Let’s go to the ring for our first match. It’s a first round match in the Showdown TV Title Tournament.
Showdown TV Title Tournament First Round Match
Al Snow vs. Juicer Art BarrSnow tried a flying body press from the top turnbuckle but Barr rolled through and got a near fall. Barr got a second near fall when he followed it up with a back elbow smash. A third near fall for Barr after a VERTICAL BODY PRESS. Barr decided to try to wear Snow down a little more but Snow countered when he dropped Barr throat first across the top rope and followed it up with a SNOW PLOW for a two count. The match continued back and forth until Barr gained the advantage from an out of the ring brawl and Barr pinned Snow with a VERTICAL BODY SPLASH.
Bennett: What a great match to start off tonight’s program. Let’s go to the third member of our broadcast team, Gary Michael Cappetta, who is in the locker room with Rude’s Brood.
(GMC, Ravishing Rick Rude, Jesse The Body Ventura and Diamond Dallas Page are in the locker room.)
GMC: Good evening gentlemen. Tonight, Jesse, you and DDP get a chance to prove yourselves against the LWA World Tag Team Champions. What are your thoughts?
Ventura: The Midnight Express are a couple of chumps. They aren’t even good enough to lick the sweat off our jocks.
GMC: What about their pesky manager, Jim Cornette, at ringside.
DDP: We’re not worried about that pipsqueak. We have some back up, tonight.
GMC: I’ll assume you mean this man, here. Ravishing Rick Rude, you get a shot at the SCW Heavyweight Title tonight. It’s not one on one so you’ll have to be prepared for two men.
Rude: I don’t sweat Race or Zbsyzko. I’ve got the Brood on my side and that’s all I need.
GMC: What about Madkanter? He seems to be the wildcard in all this.
Rude: As long as he doesn’t get in my way, the promoter will walk away from that match tonight in one piece, but if he causes me to lose in any way, he’ll have hell to pay.
GMC: There you have it. When we come back, I’ll be here with another man involved in tonight’s main event. Stay tuned.
(break)
(GMC is in the locker room with Harley Race.)
GMC: Welcome back, I’m here with multi-time world champion Harley Race. Harley, tell me what we should expect in tonight’s main event.
Race: I expect everyone to be at the top of their game. I know I will be. I’m sure Zbyszko will have something up his sleeve and Rude sounds pretty confident. It should be a really good match.
GMC: What about Madkanter?
Race: Madkanter is an honest, fair man. I expect him to call this match right down the middle.
GMC: You also seem to be in the thick of the LWA World Heavyweight Title hunt as well.
Race: It’s been too long since I’ve worn that LWA World Heavyweight Championship. I think with a win here tonight, I should be in line for another shot at the belt.
GMC: I wish you luck, tonight, Harley. Back to you at ringside.
Bennett: Thanks, GMC. Some great work in the locker room tonight from you my friend.
Thatcher: I echo that. Both Ravishing Rick Rude and Harley Race seem to be focused on tonight’s match. That can only work to their advantage.
Bennett: Indeed. Let’s go to the ring and see if Bruiser and Crusher can get some licks in for their friend.
Dick The Bruiser & The Crusher vs. One Drop Power Movement (Rocky Johnson & Norvell Austin) w/D’Lo BrownBruiser and Crusher completely dominated this rough affair. The action spilled out of the ring and both teams were counted out.
Bennett: Wow, what a wild match. More great action is on the way. We’ll be right back.
(break)
Bennett: Welcome back. Before we go to our next match, GMC is in the locker room with the final member of tonight’s main event, the SCW Heavyweight Champion.
(GMC, Larry Zbyszko, ICP, Vampiro, Great Muta, Missing Link and Kamala are in the locker room.)
GMC: Quite a crowded house back here. Larry Zbyszko, please explain your strategy in your title defense tonight.
Zbyszko: Isn’t it obvious? I have more men watching my back than either of the other men in this match. I win by shear numbers alone.
GMC: What makes you think Madkanter is going to allow you to have all these men at ringside.
Zbyszko: Madkanter told me so. He said I could have anyone at ringside I wanted. He said that way I’d have nothing to complain about when I lost. Ha … little does he know, I’ve got this in the bag, just like New Beginnings.
GMC: As always, a confident Larry Zbyszko. Back to you at ringside.
Bennett: Thanks, GMC. Looks like the ringside area is going to be quite crowded during our main event.
Thatcher: I’m not sure I agree with Madkanter allowing all those men to be at ringside during the match. How on earth does he expect to get a clean winner.
Bennett: I trust Madkanter knows what he’s doing. It’s time for the SCW fans to lay their hands on the LWA World Tag Team Champions.
LWA Tag Team Champions Midnight Express (Beautiful Bobby Eaton & Loverboy Dennis Condrey) w/Jim Cornette vs. SCW Tag Team Champions Jesse The Body Ventura & Diamond Dallas Page w/MengThe crowd is surprised as the monster Meng accompanied Ventura and Page to the ring. Cornette looked a little worried as the monster took his place in their corner. Cornette gathered his men for a quick conference and the match began. Condrey and DDP started the match with a feeling out process. MX went for the quick win with an elbow slingshot but DDP kicked out. Cornette interfered and DDP was a victim of the ROCKET LAUNCHER. Condrey went for the pin but Ventura pulled the ref out of the ring. The ref warned Ventura and as Condrey argued with the ref while the ref was out of the ring, DDP attacked Condrey from behind. Page missed a flying splash and MX regained the advantage. After several minutes of furious action, MX connected with another ROCKET LAUNCHER. Meng entered the ring and pulled Condrey off of DDP as Condrey had the cover. Meng exited and was chased by Condrey. A brawl ensued outside the ring. Meng got the upper hand and rolled Condrey back in the ring. MX regained the advantage again and the match continued back and forth until DDP delivered a desperate discus clothesline and covered Eaton for a near fall. DDP and Ventura really started pouring it on and Ventura locked Condrey in an abdominal stretch. With the assistance of Cornette, Condrey made it to the ropes. Ventura locked in a BODY BREAKER. Condrey, somehow, found a way to break the hold. Ventura locked in the BODY BREAKER again. Eaton broke up the hold but Ventura sent him flying from the ring. Ventura continued his assault on Condrey. Cornette made sure his team regained the advantage but it didn’t last for long. DDP delivered a swinging neckbreaker and made a cover. Cornette distracted the ref. Condrey regained his feet and was met with a DIAMOND CUTTER. The ref finally made a three count.

Bennett: The match before the break is going to be hard to top but I think I know three men that are going to try. It’s time for our main event. Let’s go up to the ring for the introductions.
GMC: Ladies and gentlemen, this is tonight’s main event and is for the Sin City Wrestling Heavyweight Title. I will first introduce the special referee for this match. He is a proud founding member of the LWA and is the current promoter of Sin City Wrestling. This is the Madkanter.
(The crowd pops for the promoter of the company.)
Next, introducing, the first challenger, in the corner to my right, a former LWA World Heavyweight Champion. Hailing from St. Louis, Missouri, and weighing in at 245 pounds, Harley Race.
(The crowd pops as Race acknowledges them.)
His opponent and the second challenger, being accompanied to the ring by Meng, hailing from Robinsdale, Minnesota, and weighing in at 251 pounds, Ravishing Rick Rude.
(Rude is met with a mixed reaction as he walks to the ring being trailed by Meng. Rude forgoes any prematch banter and goes straight to his corner, very focused.)
Finally, their opponent is the Sin City Wrestling Heavyweight Champion and is accompanied to the ring by the Dark Carnival. Hailing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and weighing in at 233 pounds, Larry Zbyszko.
(Zbsyzko is surrounded by the Dark Carnival as he makes his way to the ring. Before entering the ring, Zbsyzko has some last minute instructions for his team. Zbsyzko enters the ring and gets in the face of Race. The Zbsyzko gets in the face of Rude. Finally, Zbyszko gets in the face of Madkanter, who shoves him and calls for the match to begin.
SCW Heavyweight Title Triple Threat Match
Harley Race vs. Ravishing Rick Rude w/Meng vs. SCW Heavyweight Champion Larry Zbyszko w/Dark Carnival
Special Referee: MadkanterRace is knocked down early and Rude and Zbsyzko brawl. Zbsyzko went for a quick pin after a knee smash but Rude kicked out. Race continued to stay back as Rude and Zbsyzko brawled. Zbyszko nailed Rude with a flying knee smash. Zbyszko went to the top rope again but was knocked off by Race. Race delivered a PILEDRIVER and covered Zbyszko but Rude broke it up. Rude attempted a flying knee smash on Race but Zbyszko knocked Rude from the turnbuckle. Zbsyzko attempted a pin on Race but Race kicked out. After a wild brawl outside the ring, the action returned to the squared circle and Zbyszko got another near fall on Race. Zbyszko planted Race with a PILEDRIVER and went for the pin. Just as Madkanter dropped to make the count, the Dark Carnival stormed the ring and attacked Zbyszko, leaving him a beaten mess. After the beating, the Dark Carnival left the ring and returned to the locker room. Zbsyzko finally made it to his feet and looked around the ring. Zbyszko instantly got in Madkanter’s face, blaming him for the unwarranted attack. Zbsyzko continued to rant and rave, saying that this will be the last time Madkanter gets into his business. Zbyszko attempted to punch Madkanter but Madkanter blocked it and delivered a vicious right hook to the chin of Zbyszko. Race covered a dazed Zbyszko and Madkanter made the fast count.
Bennett: I can’t believe what has happened. It seems the Dark Carnival has turned on Larry Zbyszko, which led to Madkanter punching him out and Race making the pin to win the Sin City Wrestling Heavyweight Title.
Thatcher: I can’t expect this decision to stand.
Bennett: It looks like Madkanter doesn’t have a problem with the decision as he’s strapping the belt around Race. It looks like Rude has something to say to Madkanter regarding this decision. Madkanter just said something to satisfy Rude and Rude and Meng are returning to the locker room. Zbyszko is still out in the middle of the ring. The fans are going nuts as Race is celebrating in the middle of the ring. We’re out of time. We’ll catch ya next week on Showdown. Good night.
