Posted March 18, 201312 yr comment_5539381 This starts with Joe Pedicino coming out talking about the King of Birmingham. Mr. Olympia vs. Lee Peak (5/22/88) Olympia is back as a babyface and a promo to follow with Olympia & Prichard. Willie B. Hert vs. Private Pyle (5/22/88) The former Pez Whatley coming out to People Get Ready by The Temptations is great. Carter dresses down Pyle after the loss so Hert dropkicks and pins him as well. They would attack Hert afterwards before running off. Next we get a promo from Shane Douglas who speaks in 3rd person then Dr. Tom Continental Tag Titles: The Southern Boys (Steve Armstrong & Tracy Smothers) © vs. The Nightmares (Danny Davis & Ken Wayne) (5/22/88) This is a rematch from a few weeks ago. Tracy is out by himself saying that Steve couldn't make it so Wayne wants the titles. Wayne argues it but agrees to Davis working against Smothers in a singles match for the titles. Very good action to start here with both men refusing to give the advantage. Davis would KO the referee by mistake with a reverse cross body block off the middle rope which allows Wayne to sneak attack Tracy with a board while Davis wasn't looking. Davis pinned Smothers to win and Wayne comes back out celebrating the victory. While Wayne is talking to Missy, Platt tells Davis what happened off mic which angers him. They argue a bit before they walk off. This is a definite extra. Gilbert & Paul E. are out whining about everyone coming for $10,000 until Jack Curtis comes out where they berate him with Paul E. saying that his biggest claim to fame is going to strip club to pick up women saying that he knows wrestlers. This is great. Next we get promos by DWB & Paul E. Lord Humongous vs. The Red Devil (5/22/88) Squash which is followed by Humongous turning on Downtown Bruno & Alan Martin before Detroit Demolition shows up throwing ink in his eyes. This starts with clips of Douglas vs. Detroit Demolition with Humongous getting involved and jumping Demo allowing Douglas to win. Then we see Humongous getting blinded from the week before and clips of Shane bringing him to the babyface lockerroom for medical attention. Then we get a great promo by Danny Davis on Ken Wayne and then Willie B. Hert. Next we get clips of a Danger Zone with Austin Idol with Paul E. offering up $50,000 to keep Idol on retainer but he tore it up and walked out. This leads to clips of Idol posing with kids in the ring in Birmingham. Paul then comes out here and tries to get Idol to join him again this time for $100,000 but again he is rebuffed. Idol tears up the check again which causes Paul to rip his family and Idol to jack his jaw. Gilbert runs out and takes a shot as well. This was good stuff and a definite extra. "Universal Heartthrob" Austin Idol vs. Black Assassin (Bill Tabb) (5/29/88) Idol wins easily then goes after Paul again but Gilbert throws powder in his eyes. Idol fights back though but he eventually gets tied to a steel chair and Gilbert cuts some of his hair until Mr. Olympia runs out to make the save. Then we get clips of Hert/Pyle from the week before. Next we get clips of DI Carter & Detroit Demolition taking the Continental tag titles from the Nightmares as Ken Wayne turns on Danny Davis on 5/29/88. Definite extra for the turn.
