William Regal: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the finest sixty minutes of pro wrestling in the world, the Show Time Power Hour! I'm your host, William Regal. With me are Mauro Ranallo and Jim Cornette! Men, the Legends Division kicks off tonight! Bravo to Commissioner Sting for this decision!"
Mauro Ranallo: "This is a nostalgic and entertaining way to remember the past! I'm looking forward to seeing these matches every week!"
Jim Cornette: "Many of my friends and compatriots have expressed interest in becoming a part of this division, and I, for one, am excited to see this division happen!"
Regal: "We will see the first match of that division, as well as Kota Ibushi's challenge of Matt Riddle for the Mid-Atlantic Championship! And, our main event will see WALTER defend the NWA World Championship against Chris Jericho! Let's go to Cathy Kelley!"
Cathy Kelley: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the first match ever in NWA: Show Time's Legends Division! Who's ready for some action?! All right, let's get it started!"
Match One ~ Tully Blanchard & Arn Anderson with James J. Dillon vs. "The Rock-n-Roll Express" (Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson)
This was a true throwback match. These are two of the greatest tag teams of all time and they have not faced off since 1988. Ricky and Robert got their shine early on with the antics that fans have come to remember, outsmarting the former "Horsemen" in the opening stanzas. Eventually, Morton was caught and took several minutes of calculated punishment. He finally got the tag to Gibson after the "Morton Roll" to the corner. Robert came in unloading rights to the foreheads of his foes. Even James J. Dillon ate a right hand for his trouble. As the referee was trying to get Dillon off the apron, Ricky got Tully in the "Oklahoma Roll" and had him pinned. Arn snuck in an nailed his patented "DDT" to drop Morton. Tully rolled on top of him for the pin as the referee turned around. Gibson just missed the save.
Winners = Tully Blanchard & Arn Anderson by pinfall in 11:08
Regal: "Tully and Arn stole one from Ricky and Robert!"
Ranallo: "It was a bit controversial, but what a first Legends match!"
Cornette: "Tully and Arn did what 'The Horsemen' always do, they cheated to beat 'The Rock-n-Roll Express!' Some things never change!"
Regal: "We need to take a quick commercial break. When we return, Matt Riddle will defend the Mid-Atlantic Championship against Kota Ibushi!"
Regal: "We're back! Fans, Matt Riddle was set to defend his newly won Mid-Atlantic Championship against a former champion in his own right and a perennial contender, Kota Ibushi! However, Gunner brutally attacked Kota during the break and he indicated that he wants that title match. The champion is standing by with manager Kurt Angle and Charly Caruso, who is now splitting time between us and NWA: Femme Fatales!"
Charly Caruso: "I am here with 'King of Bros' Matt Riddle, the Mid-Atlantic Champion. Matt, you were set to defend your championship against the stiff challenge of Kota Ibushi, but he was taken out by 'Universal Soldier' Gunner, who has issued the title challenge to you. Gunner, who's as dangerous as anyone on the roster, has thrown a monkey wrench into the night. Are you prepared for him? Will you accept the challenge?"
Matt Riddle: "The bro stays prepared, Charly. Kurt Angle and I have an insane workout program, along with the rest of 'The Varsity Club,' that's designed to keep us all at maximum fitness and readiness. Gunner doesn't scare me, bro. So yes, I'll defend the title against him."
Caruso: "So, you're ready for his full arsenal of power offense?"
Riddle: "I'm ready for anything, bro."
Caruso: "There you have it. William."
Regal: "Thanks, Charly! Let's go to the ring!"
Match two ~ NWA: Show Time Mid-Atlantic Championship ~ "King of Bros" Matt Riddle with "Olympic Hero" Kurt Angle vs. "Universal Soldier" Gunner with Whiplash

Match two ~ NWA: Show Time Mid-Atlantic Championship ~ "King of Bros" Matt Riddle with "Olympic Hero" Kurt Angle vs. "Universal Soldier" Gunner with Whiplash
Winner and NEW NWA: Show Time Mid-Atlantic Champion = Gunner by pinfall in 15:18
Regal: "Gunner has done it, but he benefited from a timely distraction by Angel Garza!"
Ranallo: "Gunner inserted himself into this match and he got the win after Angel Garza got a little revenge on Matt Riddle for costing him a shot at the World Jr. Title!"
Cornette: "Angel Garza made a surprise appearance in a match with a surprise opponent, and Matt Riddle has lost the title two weeks after he won it!"
Regal: "Riddle is livid and Kurt Angle is beside himself! Fans, we need to take another break. Our World Championship main event is next!"
Regal: "We're back and it's a World Championship rematch between new champions WALTER and former champion Chris Jericho!"
Match Three ~ NWA World Heavyweight Championship ~ "Ring General" WALTER vs. Chris Jericho with "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, Maryse Ouellet, & AJ Lee
This was more of the same from SuperBrawl. WALTER bounced Jericho around the ring like a rag doll. Jericho attempted to stick and move. This was only moderately successful and never sustained. WALTER took over the match with a big "Lariat" and never looked back. He "Powerbombed" Jericho, which got Flair onot the apron. WALTER turned his attention toward Flair. In the meantime, "The Four Horsemen" came out, presumably to interfere. They were cut off by "Imperium," which confronted them on the entrance aisle. Jericho recovered and hit a "Codebreaker," but WALTER powered out and eventually got his "Sleeperhold" in. This took Jericho out, as he began to tap.
Winner and STILL NWA World Heavyweight Champion = WALTER by submission in 20:39
Regal: "WALTER has done it again!"
Ranallo: "He's defeated 'Le Champion,' and put him in his place!"
Cornette: "WALTER has a stranglehold on the World Championship!"
Regal: "Indeed he has. Jim, before we go, I want to address the elephant in the room with you."
Cornette: "And, what, pray tell, is that?"
Regal: " Come on, Jim. You know what I'm getting at! You've been taking 'The Revival' to NWA: SWAT events to wrestle. What's going on?"
Cornette: "Well, that's my business or else wise I would have talked about it! Needless to say, I was brought on by Ron Simmons as a consultant since he wanted to introduce the Smoky Mountain Championships! That's how it started. It has morphed into something else, if you must know!"
Regal: "And, that something else is?"
Cornette: "That's for us to know and the world to find out when we deem it necessary to tell them!"
Regal: "Fair enough! Okay fans, you heard it here first! We're all out of time for this week. Please join us again next Tuesday on TBS for more of the Show Time Power Hour! For Mauro Ranallo and Jim Cornette, I'm William Regal, saying ta ta for now!"
