Jack Buck sits at the preview desk, alone this time.

Welcome friends, it's my pleasure to bring to you another Pay Per View preview show. I am really looking forward to this next America West Wrestling pay Per View show, Stampede.

Before we get started, I was sad to hear of the release of my former broadcast colleague Verne Gagne. I will miss his insights. I wish him well in his future endeavors.

Now, let's start right at the top, with the AWW Championship. Folks, it was a wild wild finish at All In from Las Vegas, where David Von Erich and Magnum TA battled and beat on each other in one of the most physical matches I have ever seen. The Bell rang, and the referee had declared the draw, when Gino Hernandez, winner of the Three Ring Circus Match earlier that evening, came out of the crowd, snatched the ring bell and attacked Magnum with it. He cashed in his Title Shot On Demand right then and walked out of Las Vegas the champion.
Both David and Magnum have lobbied for a shot at Gino, and AWW Commissioner Stacy Keibler stepped in and wisely declared a cease fire between the three, and ordered a Three Way Dance for the AWW Championship at Stampede between David Von Erich, Magnum TA and Champion Gino Hernandez at Stampede

Another match that was spawned from a brawl at All In is the Falls Count Anywhere Match between Ric Flair and Andre the Giant. Both men were in the Four Corners Championship match at All In. Early on in that match, Andre knocked Flair to the floor and they ended up fighting all across the arena. As the match wrapped up, Andre and Ric were at one of the upper level souvenir stands destroying everything in their sights. Neither man is known as a huge hardcore brawler, but they both have enough fight in them to make the Falls Count Anywhere Match between Andre the Giant and Ric Flair a must see.

Also at Stampede, The AWW Tag Team Champions Rick Martel & Tito Santana will renew their freindly rivalry with Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson, at Big Sky Showdown Strike Force defended the titles in a Ladder Match, but this time, it will take 2 separate wins to end the match as The Rock & Roll Express take on Strike Force in a Best 2 out of 3 Falls Match for the AWW Tag Team Championships

Newly Crowned Southwest Champion Mark Henry just last week signed on to defend his title agaisnt Big Daddy V. Of course, Jackie Moore came calling after Mark's victory over Nikita Koloff at All In, trying to recruit the World's Strongest Man to join her group. Mark politely said no, then suffered a brutal attack from Ezekiel Jackson & Big Daddy V. Once the dust cleared and Mark was tended to, he was furious. With Jackson already in a match at Stampede, Big Daddy V was named as Mark Henry's first challenger for the AWW Southwest Title

Jackie Moore has her own problems to deal with at Stampede. She faces Colonel DeBeers in a rematch of their Rocky Mountain Tournament match, but this time, with a Steel Cage surrounding the ring, hopefully keeping Jackie's entourage at bay.

Also at Stampede Ivan Koloff faces off with his nephew Nikita Koloff. They family feud was ignited in Las Vegas, and it has not cooled down in recent weeks. Ivan thinks Nikita has gotten soft being in America so long. They'll attempt to settle the score in Calgary.

The Rocky Mountain Title will be awarded at Stampede. Manny Fernandez and Ezekiel Jackson face off in the Tournament Finals to determine the new champion. Manny had a plan that worked in Las Vegas to neutralize the numbers game with Jackie Moore, can he handle the strength of Zeke and come out champion? Or will Jackie Moore's declaration months ago come true about one of her entourage walking out with the title?

One Match I am particularly looking forward to is the NWA Champions Showcase Match. This 4-Way Elimination match features 4 former NWA World Champions, 2 of which will be making their AWW debuts. "Wildfire" Tommy Rich and "The Hands of Stone" Ron Garvin will be joined by "Scrap Iron" Adam Pearce and Dory Funk Jr in this epic clash.

The winner goes on later on that same night in Calgary to another 4 person event, the Four Corners Championship Match. Heath Slater was able to win the title in Las Vegas, and in Calgary he faces former champion Katie Lea, former partner Justin Gabriel, and one of the former NWA Champions for his first defense. The Four Corners matches have become highlights of AWW shows, and this one at Stampede is shaping up to be just as entertaining.

The Next match will likely be one of the most brutal affairs we have ever witnessed in Pro Wrestling. The Dungeon Match might look at first like a normal Hell In The Cell, but when you look closer, you will see the scaffold that runs across the cell with all the hardocre weapons you can ask for hanging at the ready. Ladders, chairs, tables a-plenty all outside the ring ready for use. And the ring. There are ringposts, turnbuckles and ropes. But No canvas. The ringposts are mounted DIRECTLY INTO THE CONCRETE. That means every slam, every backdrop, every impact will be intensified. 10 Men Enter. One team will be victorious. None of them will ever be the same again. Juventud Guerrera, Los Luchas & Los Maniacos will do battle with Buddy Rose, Doug Somers & ME7 in this setting at Stampede

All of that plus Hugh Morris and Funkai in singles competition comes your way LIVE from Calgary, Alberta as America West Wrestling presents Stampede

The end of the match saw The Great Kabuki and Milano Collection A.T. going at it for 9 minutes plus. AT finally eliminated Kabuki and thought he had won the title, but X-Pac appeared from behind, hit a superkick to the back of the head, and pinned Milano Collection A.T. to win the title.
After the match, X-Pac held up his new title and his MITB briefcase.
Time - 26:49

Test defeated Lance Hoyt via pinfall after a powerbomb off the ring apron to the floor. He demanded the referee count the pin, even though it was outside of the ring.
After the match, Hoyt grabbed a mic to thank the fans, but Test grabbed the mic from his hands and threw it down, then hit him with a hard clothesline. He continued the beating until it was stopped by referees.
Time - 07:58

Ink Inc. became the #1 Contenders to the Tag Team Championships.

Teddy Hart defeated Jack Evans 2 falls to 1.
Jack Evans won the first fall with a 630. Hart eventually turned things over and won the second fall with a Canadian Destroyer. He continued the beating and won the deciding fall with a twisting SSP from the top rope.
After the match, Hart grabs a mic and cuts a wordy and somewhat filthy promo on Evans (still down in the ring), then knocks him out with Randy Orton's patented Punt Kick to the Skull.
Time - 33:03

Los Aviadores defeated The New Age Outlaws via submission when Hunico forced Billy Gunn to submit to the Hunico Special. Road Dogg had just gained the upper hand on Epico outside the ring and attempted to break up the submission but was a few seconds too late. X-Pac had been forced to the back by the referee early into the match because he kept visibly interfering.
While Los Aviadores were celebrating with the belts, X-Pac ran down the ramp and sent Hunico over the ropes to the outside, then hit Epico with the X-Factor. He handed the referee his MITB briefcase and the referee counted the pin.
After the cash-in, Pac grabbed a mic and said he won the tag belts "not for me, but for us" signaling toward NAO. All three posed in the ring, NAO with the tag belts, Pac with the cruiserweight belt.
Time - 16:21

Background on WARGAMES

- JBL fought Dusty Rhodes for his United States Championship in a brutal bullrope match last week, but neither was victorious after both passed out from blood loss. This week, they decided to ensure a winner, by recruiting teams, pitted against each other in WARGAMES.

- The first guy both men went to was Goldust. Dusty's own blood. JBL got there first, and tried to persuade him into joining his team by offering him gold in return. Real gold. Before Goldust could answer, Dusty appeared and said Goldust would not be on JBL's team. He was an easy "in" for Team Dusty. Goldust agreed, spit on JBL, and left with Dusty.

- JBL scored big by recruiting Kane & Abyss for his team. Both could think of nothing more pleasurable than the inevitable destruction that awaited them at WARGAMES.

- Mankind & Sabu joined Team Dusty to counter Kane & Abyss. Mankind is aggravated with other wrestlers using his gimmick to a shittier outcome and wants to take them both out of existence. Sabu has issues with Abyss and is convinced to work the match by Mankind.

- JBL asks Tommy Dreamer to join his team because of his familiarity with Mankind & Sabu. Dreamer wants to prove he's tough enough for WARGAMES and accepts the offer.

Dusty Rhodes, Goldust, Mankind & Sabu defeated defeated JBL, Tommy Dreamer, Kane & Abyss via submission.
Order of entry: Kane, Sabu, Abyss, Goldust, Dreamer, Mankind, JBL, Dusty.
The end of the match saw a bloody JBL tap out to Dusty's Figure 4.
Time - 26:48

Jeff Hardy defeated Mr. Perfect and Scott Steiner.
The ending came when Steiner hit Perfect with a Steiner Screwdriver, but stood and turned into a Twist of Fate. He rolled out of the ring while Hardy quickly capitalized on Perfect with a pin.
After the match, Hardy grabbed a mic and talked about how boring Mr. Perfect is. How boring the thought of being perfect is. How imperfections are what makes things interesting. He says that Jeff Hardy is not perfect, and will not go to Heaven like Mr. Perfect someday will. He is flawed. Severely mentally and emotionally flawed. And he will go to Hell. Because he is the anti-Christ.
Time - 17:29
