JILL BERG ENTERPRISES INTERVIEW
-Kellie has the CEO of Jill Berg Enterprises- Jill Berg with her.
Berg’s Comments:
-The Hanson Sisters made a BIG mistake last week interfering in JBE’s business with Victoria McGill. They could have taken their loss like big girls and just walked to the back. Instead, they stuck their nose in somewhere it doesn’t belong.
-Berg won’t forget this. The Hansons can kiss any chance of them regaining the Women’s Tag belts goodbye. Jill Berg Enterprises will move heaven and earth to make sure that never happens.
-As for Women’s Champion Victoria McGill. It’s only a matter of time before Lisa Barbosa-Stevens brings the Women’s title to JBE. Tori is nothing compared to the sheer corporate power of Jill Berg Enterprises.
-Soon, all the belts will be with JBE, fulfilling Jill Berg Enterprise’s corporate charter.
Back to Thunderbolt and Hall at the broadcast desk. It’s time for a commercial break and then our first match of the night.

**************************
Back from break, Thunderbolt wonders how The Stevens Dynasty came to help out the Dark Overlords of Wrestling- the team Bo and George Stevens won the tag belts from?
(Friday Night- MVW House Show in Dubuque, Iowa)
–Bo Stevens pins Justin Sufferable and The Stevens Dynasty defeat The Dark Overlords in a non-title match.
-But after the match is over, Cary Stevens is seen deep in conversation with legendary manager Jackson C. Horne.
-The two men come to an accord and shake hands as they walk to the back.
Hall’s Comments:
-This all fired up at the end of July when both teams got into it during Ricky Stevens’ Men’s Heartland Title match and ‘Big Don’ Dickinson ended up winning the title.
-This was pre-meditated. The Stevens Dynasty clearly collaborated with the Dark Overlords against The Alabama Gang and mission accomplished. The Alabama Gang won’t be a threat for another month.
KELLIE BURKOWSKI INTERVIEWS THE ALABAMA GANG
-Kellie has a very angry Mark Hendry, R.G. Jenkins, ‘Redneck’ Bill Dickinson, ‘Big Don’ Dickinson and Sunny O’Callahan with her.
Mark Hendry’s Comments:
-He says the Stevens Dynasty has only postponed the inevitable. The Alabama Gang are coming for the belts and they will kick the Stevens family’s collective ass to do so.
R.G. Jenkins’ Comments:
-The Stevens Dynasty need to put on their ‘big boy pants’ and face The Alabama Gang instead of having the Dark Overlords do their dirty work for them.
Sunny O’Callahan’s Comments:
-The Stevens Dynasty can run… but the Alabama Gang will find them and they will destroy them.
Moving on…

-He ‘apologizes’ to Dickinson for their role in keeping The Alabama Gang out of the Men’s Tag Team top 5 contenders… er… no he doesn’t. The Dark Overlords are playing the long game and being patient.

Hall’s Comments:
-J.J.’s experience prevails.
-Hitting that Lungblower changed everything. Bittinger was on top the rest of the way.
Speaking of ‘Big Don’, it seems the Alabama Gang don’t take very kindly to getting screwed over like they were by the Stevens Dynasty earlier tonight. The night after this show was taped, this happened to Scott Stevens.
(Men’s Heartland #1 Contender’s Match: #1 ‘Big Don’ Dickinson vs. #2 ‘The Demi-God of HOW’ Scott Stevens)
– The Alabama Gang (Bill Dickinson, Mark Hendry, R.G. Jenkins w/Sunny O’Callahan) confront the Stevens Dynasty (Bo and George Stevens w/Cary Stevens) are at ringside.
-Again, there’s heated words.
-Again, Ron Martin turns his head for a second.
-This time, Mark Hendry slides in *BANG* He blasts Scott Stevens with a chair to the head!
-Dickinson rolls up Stevens for the pinfall.
So now, ‘Big Don’ Dickinson will face Scott Stevens’ younger brother Ricky Stevens next Tuesday for the Men’s Heartland title.
KELLIE INTERVIEWS BILL DICKINSON
Kellie Burkowski brings in ‘Redneck’ Bill Dickinson about his title match next Tuesday night. Sunny O’Callahan is with him.
Dickinson’s Comments:
-Dickinson wants to win the Men’s title… badly. He preferred to win it off Adam Ellis. But John O’Reilly is the next best thing.
-He’s tired of hearing about O’Reilly’s Cannonball Right Hand. After next Tuesday, the only thing everything will be talking about is the Southern Fried Powerbomb he gives O’Reilly when he wins the title.
-Dickinson doesn’t have too much of an issue with O’Reilly. But he warns him and the Dark Overlords of Wrestling that the Alabama Gang will be there to make sure no one sticks their nose in our match.
KENTUCKY REDNECK MAFIA PROMO
Cletus T. Johnson and Enos T. Johnson are backstage.
But it’s Lillie Mae- their new valet- who does the talking tonight.
Lillie Mae’s Comments:
-She says it’s odd that all the talk in the Men’s Tag Team Division is about the Stevens Dynasty and the… Alabama Gang when it’s the Kentucky Redneck Mafia who’s their opponent next Tuesday.
-The Stevens Dynasty aren’t paying attention to the KRM. They’re making a big mistake.
-Cletus and Enos are paying attention to the Stevens Dynasty and they’re going to find out that the hard way next week.

WINNER: Debbie the Destroyer
Hall’s Comments:
-Despite giving up 75 pounds, Shizuko Yamazaki threw everything at her bigger and stronger opponent and nearly beat her.
-Debbie the Destroyer displayed some resilience on her part. She finds a way to outlast Yamazaki.
-Debbie holds her position and that sets up a number one contenders match with Lisa Barbosa-Stevens next week in Valparaiso, Indiana.
Thunderbolt wraps it up from there. See you next week.
