Magnum TA said he was sure than Koloff wanted a rematch, but he was going to beat Koloff to the punch and give him his rematch tonight!

Skandor Akbar, interfered and attacked the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express. After the match, Kamala and Abdullah continued attacking Morton and Gibson as Al-Kassie and Akbar talked in the corner. Al-Kassie then told the Bolsheviks to join in the attack. The four men threw Morton and Gibson out of the ring as security officials ran out to stop the assault. Akbar grabbed a microphone and said, “Look at what you see before you and know that the Disciples of Allah are growing and will continue to grow until we are the most dominant force in Legends Championship Wrestling. Welcome the newest Disciples of Allah: Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie and The Bolsheviks!” The Disciples of Allah left the ring together as the audience booed.

From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone informed everyone that LCW United States Champion Manny Fernandez and Tully Blanchard had both been released from the hospital after their brutal, savage street fight match at LCW SuperClash last Sunday. Schiavone announced that Fernandez would be on LCW Showdown next week, but Blanchard, who was a little worse for wear after the street fight match, was taking some time off to heal some injuries from the match. Schiavone announced that after the commercial break, LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway would be joining them live via satellite.
From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko interviewed LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway live via satellite from his hospital bed. When Calaway appeared on the LegendsTron, the audience exploded with cheers. Calaway said he was understandably glad that he’s once again the Chairman of the Board and promised that things would most certainly be different this time. Calaway said he was anxious to return to work and jokingly told Schiavone to tell the staff of LegendsChampionshipWrestling.com that they could stop referring to him as the former Chairman of the Board. Schiavone laughed and said he would pass along the message and then asked about Austin’s heroics at the end of LCW SuperClash last Sunday. Calaway said that Austin saved his life. Austin getting him to the hospital in time saved his life. Calaway said that when Austin was “stomping a mudhole” in him in the corner he dislodged the bullet and while it caused him to bleed, it moved it from his heart so that doctors could remove the bullet. Calaway said he just wanted to thank Austin and said, “Anything I can do to make it up to you, just let me know.” Calaway thanked the fans for their support and forgiveness and renewed faith in him and said he would be live in person on LCW Showdown next week. Schiavone thanked Calaway for the interview and Calaway thanked Schiavone. After the interview, the cameraman laid down the camera, but the feed to the LegendsTron remained live. Calaway thanked the cameraman and the cameraman said he was going to get a soda and asked Calaway if he wanted one. Calaway said he would take a Mountain Dew if they had one. The cameraman could be seen leaving as the camera was still on Calaway laying in bed. A nurse came in and told Calaway that someone from the District Attorney’s office was here to see him. Calaway said to send him in and the man walked into the office and introduced himself as the Assistant District Attorney. The man told Calaway that forensics couldn’t do anything with the bullet that was removed from his shoulder several months ago. But forensics had returned on the bullet that was just removed and they were able to match it to a gun. The man said, “The bullet came from a gun registered to a…Nickla Roberts Smith. Do you know who this person is, Mr. Calaway?” Calaway said he did and the man asked how Ms. Roberts Smith would have come to be involved in the shooting when the Iron Sheik was the one with the gun. Calaway said he didn’t know, but she was known professionally as Baby Doll, the other person in the room with Calaway and the Iron Sheik at the time of the shooting. The man suggested that maybe she had a gun small enough to be hidden in a pocket and that she may have taken the opportunity to, while wrestling the Iron Sheik’s gun away from him, shoot Calaway with her own gun. Calaway said that sounded like a plausible, reasonable enough explanation. The man asked if Calaway wanted to press changes, but Calaway said, “Mister, I know this isn’t your case and you’re just passing along the news, but I’m in the wrestling business. We handle our own and I’ll handle this. I won’t be pressing charges.” The show went to commercial as Calaway had an angry look on his face.
The Midnight Express defeated Demolition in 6:48 by pinfall when Eaton pinned Smash after the Alabama Jam. After the match, Dennis Condrey grabbed a microphone and said, “We just demolished Demolition and at LCW Beach Brawl, we’re taking down the Skyscrapers and taking the LCW World Tag Team Championships.”
In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed Randy Savage who was with his brother The Genius Lanny Poffo and talked about defeating Hulk Hogan at LCW SuperClash last Sunday. Savage said, “You’re looking at a man who dethroned a king, you’re looking at a man who destroyed an icon, but most importantly you’re looking at the man who destroyed Hulkamania.” Savage talked about getting a shot at the LCW Universal Championship and regaining what belongs to him.

From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone announced that "Rise Above This" by Seether from their new album, Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces, had been selected as the official theme song for the LCW Beach Brawl 2008 pay-per-view on Sunday, July 27, 2008, only on LCWBeachBrawl.com. Schiavone told everyone to stay tuned because the new video would air after the main event.
Nikita Koloff defeated LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA in 19:19 by disqualification after Stone Cold Steve Austin interfered and hit Koloff with the Stone Cold Stunner.

From the ring, ring announcer Gary Michael Capetta introduced the People’s Champion and Diamond Dallas Page came out. Page started talking about facing the Rock at LCW SuperClash and the Rock came out and joined him in the ring. They compared their careers in the ring as well as their careers in Hollywood and Rock said, “You see, Page, that’s what you don’t seem to understand: it’s not about what you or I think, it’s not about who’s been more successful in the ring or in Hollywood. It’s not about the Diamond Cutter or the Rock Bottom or the People’s Elbow or the People’s Eyebrow. It’s about who is the People’s Champion!” Page said, “Why don’t we ask the fans, right here, right now Rock. (Speaking to the fans) Who do you guys think is the People’s Champion. Do you think I’m the People’s Champion?” Half of the audience cheered and half of the audience booed. Page continued, “How about the Rock? Do you think the Rock is the People’s Champion?” Some of the audience cheered, but a larger segment of the audience booed than booed for Page. Page said, “Wow, Rock, maybe we don’t have to have a match. Sounds like I might be the real People’s Champ after all. I mean, Rock, no matter what you do, no matter what you say, no matter who you ask the result is always the same. I don’t know if you saw the poll on LegendsChampionshipWrestling.com, but you’re not the People’s Champ anymore. Most of the people in this audience don’t even want you to be here.” The Rock got in Page’s face and Page said, “You want to know what doesn’t matter? What does matter is what any of them say because we’re going to settle this once and for all at LCW SuperClash. In just four days, this will be settled once and for all and when you’re looking up at the lights after taking the Diamond Cutter, you’ll know without a shadow of a doubt that while you might be the big Hollywood movie star, in wrestling, you’re not the People’s Champion anymore. After LCW SuperClash in four days, I’ll be what I’ve always been, the real People’s Champion. BANG!” Page went to walk away, but Rock grabbed Page and hit him with the Rock Bottom and left the ring to a mix of cheers and boos.
Superstar Billy Graham and Kamala (with Kimchee) defeated Kevin Sullivan (with Luna Vachon) and Abdullah the Butcher in 3:28 by disqualification after Luna interfered and attacked Graham while Sullivan and Abdullah double teamed Kamala. Madusa Micelli came out and attacked Luna Vachon, throwing her to the mat and attacking her with punches and kicks. Graham had to pull Micelli off of Vachon and out of the ring. Meanwhile, Kimchee blasted Kevin Sullivan with a steel chair and Kamala fought off Abdullah and Sullivan, throwing Sullivan over the top rope and clotheslining Abdullah over the top rope. Kamala followed Abdullah out of the ring and continued brawling with Kamala. On the other side of the ring, Sullivan tried to attack Graham, but Graham quickly gained the upper hand while Vachon and Micelli exchanged blows. LCW General Manager Ole Anderson came out and set security officials to the ring and separates everyone. Anderson announced that at LCW SuperClash this Sunday, Superstar Billy Graham would team with Madusa Micelli to take on Kevin Sullivan and Luna Vachon in a mixed tag team match. Anderson also announced that Abdullah the Butcher would go one on one with Kamala. Anderson walked away and the show went to commercial.
From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko discussed the identity of Missy Hyatt’s stalker and whether or not it was a man of a woman. Schiavone said, “Well, we’ve invited someone with some unique experience in the matter. Ladies and gentlemen, let’s go now to legendary talk show host Maury Povich, who is in the crowd to get the opinion of some of our fans.” As video footage of Missy Hyatt’s stalker played on the LegendsTron, Povich asked several people in the audience if they thought Missy Hyatt’s stalker was a man or a woman. A man at ringside, “Yo, that’s a dude, Maury. He ain’t got no boobs. It can’t be a woman.” The woman next to him said, “That a woman, Maury. Look at the way she walks. And those hips. You can wrap your chest to hide boobies, but you can’t hide the hips. That’s a woman! It’s a woman, Maury! I know it!” Another woman said, “I think it’s a man, Maury. A woman couldn’t lift John Tatum like that guy did. Not even Chyna.” Hollywood John Tatum appeared with Missy Hyatt and said, “Maury, I don’t give a damn if it’s a man or woman. That stalker wanted to get involved in my business, it wanted to start something with me, it wanted to mess with my valet, well whatever it is, it made a mistake. I don’t care if it’s a man or a woman, I’m going to kick its ass at LCW SuperClash. I don’t care who you are or what you are, but you wanted to start something with me and it’s started. Step into the ring and let me finish it! And when it’s finished, the whole world is going to know who the stalker is.” Tatum stormed off with Hyatt as the show went to commercial.

The Fantastics then helped the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express to their feet as Paul Jones held the Powers of Pain back.
In the back, LCW Universal Champion Nikita Koloff was in the arena corridor on his cell phone talking about his match with Magnum TA at LCW SuperClash. Meanwhile, just down the corridor, Koko B. Ware was feeding his bird Frankie who wouldn’t stop squawking and Koloff told Ware to shut the bird up or he would shut it up for him. LCW General Manager Ole Anderson approached Koloff who got off the phone and Anderson said he needed a main event for tonight and that main event would be Koloff defend his title against someone.

In the back, LCW General Manager Ole Anderson was in his office and standing between Harley Race and Cowboy Bill Watts.

Anderson announced that Vader and Williams would go at it one more time at LCW SuperClash this Sunday, but this time he was picking the stipulation. Anderson announced that Vader and Williams match at LCW SuperClash this Sunday would be a first blood match. Anderson got in Watts face and said, "I hope Dr. Death knew what he was doing when he cost Vader the title last week on LCW Showdown because I don't think I've ever seen Vader that mad before. I hope you and Dr. Death know what you're doing." Race interrupted him and said, "I hope you two know what you're doing because Vader knows what he's doing. He's more focused than ever, he's angrier than ever, and this Sunday at LCW SuperClash, he's going to be more focused on making Dr. Death Steve Williams bleed than ever."

Mooney asked about a possible rematch at LCW SuperClash and Orndorff said, “I think it’s pretty clear that Vader’s going to have his hands full with Dr. Death Steve Williams at SuperClash. As for defending the title at SuperClash, that’s not going to happen because I’m going to be the champion for a while and I’m not going to defend the title until I’m damn good and ready.” LCW General Manager Ole Anderson appeared and said Anderson would defend when he told him to defend the title and he was going to wrestle tonight in a non-title match against…Iceman King Parsons.

From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko welcomed everyone to LCW Showdown as "Monsters" by Matchbook Romance, the LCW Showdown theme song, played in the background and as fireworks exploded all over the arena. LCW Founder, and former Chairman of the Board, Christian Calaway came out and said he signed a contract last week on LCW Showdown to face Stone Cold Steve Austin at LCW SuperClash in two weeks because he needed to prove to Austin as much as he needed to prove to himself that he wasn’t better than Austin, because he honestly doesn’t think he’s going to beat Austin at LCW SuerClash, but to prove that he was man enough to step into the ring with Austin. Calaway said he had been training all week with former AWA World Heavyweight Champion Nick Bockwinkel and would have a special exhibition match tonight with Bockwinkel. Calaway said he hadn’t been in a ring in a year, since he faced and beat The Rock at LCW SuperClash last year. Suddenly, LCW United States Champion Tully Blanchard’s entrance music began to play and Blanchard came to the ring and said that Calaway wouldn’t have beaten the Rock without his help and if Calaway needed him to insure a victory for him again this year, he would be honored to be his personal insurance policy. Blanchard said the victory over Austin at LCW SuperClash could be the first step in restoring the Entourage. Calaway thanked Blanchard, but said he didn’t need him at LCW SuperClash because he was going to face Austin like a man one on one. Calaway also said the Entourage was dead and would never ever exist again and that Blanchard needed to get over it. Calaway turned his attention away from Blanchard and went on to continue what he was saying before Blanchard came out. Out of nowhere, Blanchard attacked Calaway from behind, hitting him with the title belt. Blanchard yelled at Calaway and was going to hit him with the slingshot suplex, but Stone Cold Steve Austin stormed into the ring and hit Blanchard with the Stone Cold Stunner and Blanchard rolled out to the floor. Austin looked down at Calaway for a moment, but didn’t touch him and just walked out of the ring. From the broadcast booth, Larry Zbyszko asked Tony Schiavaone as Austin left ringside, “What was that Tony? Austin had a perfect opportunity to gain an advantage, to take advantage of Calaway and he didn’t take it.” Schiavone said, “Maybe Austin doesn’t think he needs the advantage?”
In the back, Tully Blanchard confronted LCW General Manager Ole Anderson and demanded a match tonight with Stone Cold Steve Austin. Anderson granted the match, but said he wanted to make things more interesting for both men. Anderson said that LCW Founder, and former Chairman of the Board, Christian Calaway would be the special guest referee.
Demolition defeated The Bolsheviks in 4:06 by pinfall when Ax pinned Boris Zhukov after the Decapitation Device. During the match, LCW World Tag Team Champions The Skyscrapers came out and watched the match from the entrance stage.

In the back, Missy Hyatt was shown making her way through the arena corridor on her way to the ring to confront her stalker.
Missy Hyatt came out and didn’t waste any time calling out the person who had been stalking her over the past few weeks. The stalker came out and joined Hyatt in the ring and she demanded that the stalker reveal who they were. Hyatt said, “I don’t even know if you’re a man or a woman. I mean, come on, what’s your deal anyway?” The stalker got closer to Hyatt and she started backing away and the stalker eventually cornered Hyatt in the corner. Hyatt screamed until the stalker menacingly put a finger to her mouth and said, “Shhhh!” The stalker caressed Hyatt’s face and then smelt her hair and then gently touched her face before kissing Hyatt on the lips. Hollywood John Tatum ran out and went to attack the stalker, but the stalker dropkicked Tatum and clotheslined him over the top rope. As the stalker left the ring, Hyatt seemed equally confused and intrigued by what just happened. A smile momentarily appeared on her face, but she quickly jumped out of the ring to check on the fallen Tatum. However, as she checked on Tatum, she kept looking up the entrance ramp, watching the stalker leaving ringside. From the broadcast booth, Larry Zbyszko asked Tony Schiavone, “What the hell was that, Tony?” Schiavone responded, “Better question would be who is the stalker? We still don’t know who this person is. We don’t know if it’s a man or…I mean, could it be a woman? We still don’t know.” Zbyszko said, “I don’t know, Tony. We might have just seen some hot lesbian action. I mean, look at the stalker walk away. Come on, that's a woman if I’ve ever seen one.!" Schiavone said, "Or infamous Georgia promoter, the late, great Jim Barnett is back from the dead."
In the back, The Hart Foundation approached Demolition and Bret Hart said, “Look guys, we saw you out there and we’re just kind of wondering what makes you think that you guys deserve a title shot at LCW SuperClash for the LCW World Tag Team Championships.” Demolition Ax said they had beaten The Skyscrapers before and they would do it again, but this time for the titles. The Hart Foundation challenged Demolition to a match next week on LCW Showdown and if they could beat Demolition they would get the title shot at LCW SuperClash. Demolition agreed and said they would see the Hart Foundation next week.
In the back, The Rock approached Diamond Dallas Page and asked him about the Diamond Cutter last week on LCW Showdown. Page said it was an accident, but if the Rock wanted to make an issue of it, they could make it an issue. Rock said they had a rematch tonight with Butch Reed and Tony Atlas and it would be an issue if it happened again tonight.
LCW United States Tag Team Champions The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express defeated The Orient Express (with Mr. Fuji) in 5:19 by pinfall when Ricky Morton pinned Sato after a missile dropkick. After the match, Paul Jones came out with the Powers of Pain and they attacked Morton and Gibson, laying them both out Morton with a shoulder breaker from the Barbarian and Gibson with a powerslam from the Warlord.

The Powers of Pain dropped the titles and walked out with Jones.
Butch Reed and Tony Atlas (with Slick) defeated The Rock and Diamond Dallas Page in 4:59 by pinfall when Reed pinned Page after Rock hit Page with the Rock Bottom after Slick threw powder in Rock’s eyes.
In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed Paul Jones and the Powers of Pain and Jones said, “Remember what you saw tonight. Remember the end of that match. Remember the Powers of Pain standing above the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express with the titles in their hands because that’s exactly what you’re going to see at LCW SuperClash. Ricky Morton, Robert Gibson, take that beat down you just experienced as the challenge and take this as the warning: just leave the titles in the ring tonight. Don’t pick them up and don’t show up at LCW SuperClash because you won’t be walking out with the titles anyway so there’s no reason to suffer needlessly at the hands of the future LCW United States Tag Team Champions the Powers of Pain.”
In the back, a medical official was cleaning out the Rock’s eyes when Diamond Dallas Page appeared and said, “What the hell was that, man?” Rock stood up and got in Page’s face and said it was an accident just like when Page hit him with the Diamond Cutter last week on LCW Showdown. Page said that was an accident and the Rock said he was blinded by Slick and the Rock Bottom was an accident. Page said that LCW General Manager Ole Anderson had just told him that he was going to be wrestling Butch Reed next week on LCW Showdown and Tony Atlas would be banned from ringside. The Rock asked Page if he wanted him to be at ringside to be in his corner, but Page said he thought he had it handled and wouldn’t want there to be anymore “accidents”. Page walked away and the medic continued checking on the Rock.
From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko interviewed Manny Fernandez who was at a sports rehabilitation facility in Charlotte, NC, live via satellite. Fernandez was working out with a physical therapist after being stabbed at LCW Uprising last month by a gang of thugs. Footage was shown of the stabbing as Fernandez was coming to the aid of Tully Blanchard who initiated the altercation with the group of thugs. Footage was also shown of Tatum winning the LCW Television Championship from Fernandez. Fernandez said that his being stabbed was the luckiest thing that could have ever happened to Tatum because it was the only way Tatum could have won the title from him. Fernandez said he was focused on taking out Tully Blanchard who drove away and wouldn’t take him to the hospital after he was stabbed. Okerlund asked him how the area around the stab wound was doing and Fernandez said he was feeling good and started doing sit ups with a large weight on his chest. The physical therapist warned Fernandez to take it easy and Fernandez got off the weight bench and grabbed the physical therapist and threw him out of the gym and went back to lifting weights as the show went to commercial.
From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko introduced former WCCW announcer Bill Mercer who was with the number one contender for the LCW Universal Championship at the LCW SuperClash pay-per-view in two weeks, Magnum TA. Magnum said he and Nikita Koloff had been friends for a longtime, but he lost his opportunity to become NWA World Heavyweight Champion when he was in a car accident in 1986, but he had a second chance at destiny. Magnum said, “I’m honored that my second chance at destiny is against my best friend, Nikita Koloff, but it’s just unfortunate that I’m going to have to take the title from my best friend.” LCW Universal Champion Nikita Koloff appeared and said, “Magnum, we been friends for long time, but this (pointing to the title belt) what I live for and I want to keep living as champion and if that means I have end you to keep living as champion, I promise…” Nikita leaned in closer and got in Magnum’s face and continued, “…I promise I make your end quick and painless.” Koloff walked away as Magnum watched him leave.

Anderson explained that Legends Championship Wrestling had been removed from any liability due to Calaway’s condition after being shot last year by The Iron Sheik. Anderson said, “The bullet is still near your heart and your doctors have warned you to avoid strenuous activity and I would call wrestling Stone Cold Steve Austin strenuous activity. We can’t take the risk that something could happen in this match to dislodge the bullet and possibly end your life.” Calaway said he understood. Austin signed the contract and before signing the contract Calaway said, “Let me explain something to you, Steve. I’ve been to the bottom of the barrel. You just see me as a suit, some successful, power mad, money hungry guy who has always had money and has always been successful. Steve, I’ve dealt with bullies before: I had the abusive step-father. I’ve gone without before: I had the mother who starved herself so her son could eat. You think that I’m doing this just to get my company back? I’m doing this so I never have to go back to the life I had before this company. You were the longest reigning LCW Universal Champion in LCW history. You proved yourself and…damn it, Steve, I’m actually proud of you. But at LCW SuperClash, I’m going to do everything I can to kick your ass! I’m going to give you everything I have in my heart, in my soul, and in my body. I don’t want to beat you at SuperClash. I have to beat you at SuperClash. You might never like me, we might never be friends, but after SuperClash you will respect me.” Calaway signed the contract and Austin hit him with the Stone Cold Stunner and left the ring without saying a word.

One is a Hollywood star and the other is out shilling yoga to regular guys.” Reed laughed and said, “Haha, yeah, good luck with that.” Slick continued, “Everyone wants to know who the real People’s Champion is so why don’t we help these guys answer that question. I think we all know it’s going to happen at some point so why don’t we move it along.
