We begin with the very odd happenings last week involving Thunder Rosa and Melina
I miss Dokken so much. Be that as it may, we are at the GPB Studios in Atlanta, GA. Joe Galli and Stu Bennett are on commentary.
Sean Mooney welcomes us with a preview of tonight’s show, two big title matches are on tap.
NWA TV Title Match: Ricky Starks (NWA TV Champion) vs The Outlandish Zicky Dice.
Dice blows a kiss at the champ. Dice with a go behind waistlock. Starks powers out and we’ve got a push up contest. Starks with a series of right hands, he slams Dice into the buckle. A flying forearm and a shoulder tackle get a 2 count. Dice rolls out and pulls Starks out. He gets the advantage and wraps Starks around the post. Sliding dropkick by Dice for 1.

Sean Mooney welcomes us. We’re told the first 4 rows of the Crockett Cup have sold out. We go to highlights of last Wednesday’s press conference at the Gateway Center. Scurll comes off as humble and makes a hard sell for fans to come out. Aldis comes off as very confident as he heads to Atlanta.

Dave Marquez is with Stevens and The Question Mark. Stevens reiterates they want more belts. They call out the Rock n Roll Express. Ricky and Robert, never ones to shy away from a challenge, come out. Stevens gets off some classic old man jokes at their expense. Stevens offers them a role in his next movie. The Rock and Rolls are ready for a fight, instead. Looks like we’ve got a match for next week.
