Dusty and Sting are shown in brief clips of their Clash match before Sting beats up a jobber and wins with the scorpion. It's odd to see Sting in red with black and the non-Stinger face paint, but makes this era of his career stand out a bit more. Dr. Death rambles for a bit before Sting saves him by cutting his promo through the ropes and saying how pissed he is at the Horsemen for beating Lex up - but they're all coming for them. We see the Horsemen beat up Lex in his fantastic white and pink tux at the Clash before they throw to JJ.
JJ says that since the beating happened outside the building, the NWA can't do anything about it. Moreover, Lex caused the violence because all they wanted to do was talk to him and he attacked them, so he brought it on himself! Fans hold up a pro-Horsemen sign - one of the many as they were so ungodly over. Flair gets on the mic and says Luger always told him that when he was in football, he and his teammates loved hearing Flair say it was time to go to school.
He says he's got some cuts and bruises, but he knows to be a stud, you've got to pay the price. He doesn't want to be, but he'll be in War Games because he has to be and he has allies in the Varsity Club. From now until July 10, all of his enemies will find out first-hand why he is the world champion! He lives and breathes each day of his life for this business, and he's got through women, cars, and bankruptcy to be the best! On July 10, he'll squeeze Luger because SHIT'S ON RIGHT NOW! That was a goddamn great promo, and now Barry Windham is out to destroy a jobber. Gorgeous powerslam by Barry and the flying lariat hits and get the win.
JJ and Barry join David at ringside and JJ talks about the Bash sweeping the nation. Barry with tie-dye looks odd. JJ talks about every match Barry has being a chance to get better and show the world that he'll be ready for Dusty on July 10. The NWA US Title remains gorgeous and it's a design AEW should think about using for their secondary title - it's striking and looks good today. Dr. Death destroys Trent Knight in a squash. Please God don't let this lead to a Dr. Death promo. Ross gets in a "slobberknocker" mention as a nod to Barry Switzer. So there's the origin of that.
OH THANK GOD, instead of that, we get Tully, Arn, and JJ! Tully rambles about Sting saying he'll beat them up for what they did to Luger, because it caused him to lose in the Clash match. He says they'll beat him up like they did Luger and says it could be anywhere - even Whispers, which is probably not a convenience store. Arn with blonde hair is bizarre Arn says that Lex's head is as scarred as his, but he doesn't want to go to Hollywood. Tully wins a quick squash with the slingshot suplex and some matwork, with JJ doing commentary too.
Sullivan hits a series of kneeling chops to the chest and throws him around ringside. Tree of woe knee hits. A giant lariat hits and ends it. Sullivan's crazed brawl style has aged quite nicely. Kevin cuts a pissed off promo about people stealing his women and he'll be damned if he lets Jimmy Garvin do it to him! He can take all of his allies and shove them up his ass because he took Patty from him. He'll take Garvin's eye and make a keychain out of it. Sullivan is aided by always looking 45 because he hasn't aged a ton since then.
Luger is out in street clothes with his face covered up. He says at the hospital, Jimmy Crockett didn't know what he could do because it wasn't at the arena - but Luger says he doesn't want him to do anything. He doesn't want them to be suspended because that'll give them an excuse to avoid him. He doesn't want to press criminal charges on them because the Horsemen's attorneys will just get him out of jail in an hour - but he can get him in a cage. Flair said shit's on and it is - he'll make him bleed more than in any other match. Your ass is mine in Baltimore!
Arn destroys a jobber with a gordbuster. THE SPAM SLAM OF THE WEEK shows Tommy Rogers winning with a powerslam. Tony and Jim Ross talk about the Tower of Doom stipulation easily leading to 2 on 1 situations. Tony and Jim talk about the Skywalker match between the Powers of Pain and Road Warriors, with a recap of what led up to it. Jim Cornett hypes up the Midnight Express!
The MX destroy jobbers while Cornette hypes them on commentary. Cornette says that Luger should've been careful walking after dark in Miami cuz you might get jumped. The Powers of Pain vs. LOD will be a battle of bulls, but the most important thing is the MX vs. the Fantastics. He takes credit for teaching them moves and being on a fitness and conditioning program. He's on a high-pec and low-Twinkee diet. Stan lands a series of kicks while Jim says Stan's got his benchpress up to 433 and a quarter - with Ross asking if that's in ounces. Eaton lands a smooth bulldog and a prop-up crossbody over the ropes. Cornett talks about Jim's thick neck and buries the jobber for having bleached-blonde hair. Eaton hits a gorgeous punch in the corner and lands a flying elbow. Stan gets an abdominal stretch with a tights pull. Stan hits a back elbow and swivels his hips. Rocket launcher hits and ends it.
Jim Cornette cuts a promo after the match and I'm sure he hasn't had a chance to catch a breath in a good 10 minutes. The beating of the Fantastics last week by the MX with a chair is shown - along with the nasty chairshot to the head. The timing on this beating is perfect as Tony says "there's nothing he can do" and then BOOM! Cornette hitting some ground and pound after the chairshot was gorgeous. Cornette says he wants them at their best because then there will be no excuses. He may be terrified of being in a straightjacket, but he'll have the best seat in the house as his boys win!
Al Perez vs. Nikita from the Clash is shown before the Fantastics come out to a great ZZ Top knockoff that is among the better dubbed themes you'll hear. They win quickly with a rocket launched, much to the dismay of the second jobber in blue zebra print gear and a jet black mask. They say that they'll give Cornette a beating that even Ajax can't get off and they'd call him words, but they can't say them on TV.
