1412 Wrestling Episode 48: Austin/Savage v Bars/Sonic v Matthews/Mummy v Electabuzz/Magmar

1412 Wrestling - Episode 48 Preview
Everything's spiraling.

After one of the most chaotic runs of shows in company history, 1412 Wrestling Episode 48 promises to raise the insanity to new heights with a lineup that’s equal parts absurd and explosive.

In the main event, it’s a volatile Four-Way Tag Team Match featuring 1412 Champion “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, who must team with the unpredictable “Macho Man” Randy Savage, the very man who holds the Ambush Title Shot contract and could cash in on him at any time. Their uneasy alliance collides with the unorthodox team of Eric Matthews and the Egyptian Mummy, the relentless Anti-Boiled Egg Brigade's Bars and Sonic the Hedgehog, and the fiery elemental combo of Electabuzz and Magmar. With grudges, eggs, and combustible chemistry across the board, this bout could implode before it even begins.

Speaking of tension, L.A. Beast returns from injury to defend the Hardcore Championship against Mileena, whose methods are far from conventional. But Beast’s return may come with more than a match.

The trios division gets weird as Cory Matthews, Shawn Hunter, and Topanga Lawrence step into the ring against Ickis, Krumm, and Oblina in a battle of 90s high school angst vs. raw monster chaos. Can Shawn stay focused? Will Cory crumble under the pressure? Can Topanga out-think literal sewer creatures?

In a truly bizarre pairing, Muhammad Ali is forced to team with Elmer Fudd against Mike Tyson and TMNT's own Sergeant Bananas in a Wildcard Tag Team Match. With Tyson still accompanied by an estimated 100 pigeons and fresh off recent clashes with Ali, Austin, and even Soda Popinski, expect a powder keg.

The Golf Cart stable, still somehow holding the Stable Championships, defends against a mystery team. With their ragtag entourage of Gary Busey, Cliffy Central, Alex Trebek, and a literal Minotaur, can they make it to the bell intact?

In one of the most baffling rivalries yet, the random kid managed by Bobby Heenan faces off with a now-evil Santa Claus, accompanied by the twisted On Point Kings (Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat). Everyone involved is a heel. Expect blood, betrayal, and desecration of holiday spirit.

Another Triple Threat features three men from wildly different worlds: Shredder, still trying to hold the crumbling Foot Clan together, faces former president Freddy Krueger, who lost his job when Earthworm Jim cashed in an Ambush Title Shot on the presidency (yes, that happened), and Abraham Lincoln, who has no business being this good at wrestling.

In the tag team division, Madonna and the Angry Video Game Nerd form an unlikely alliance to take on Phoebe Buffay & Pepsi Man, and Jesse Katsopolis & Joey Gladstone. The AVGN vs. Pepsi Man feud has only grown more heated since the betrayal at Tapefest, and if it spills over again, someone might end up buried in holiday specials and soda cans.

Tag Team Champions Michael Jordan & Scottie Pippen finally return to defend their titles against former champions Aly & AJ in a Tables Match. Jordan and Pippen are still nursing injuries from Kevin Nash’s ambush weeks ago, and with Nash constantly stirring the pot, their grip on the gold may be slipping.

Elsewhere, Mulder and Scully have launched a full investigation into President Earthworm Jim, whose recent executive decisions have raised serious concerns about fraud, sanity, and cosmic origin.

Also: the long-simmering Lanford Street Fight between Dan Conner and Paver boss Bob Gaffler finally goes down. The Pavers have long accused Dan of “nailing Pete,” a charge Dan denies.

Plus: a Triple Threat Tag Team Match where the crowd may be the real winner… or loser. The Wet Bandits, Roger Klotz & Harley Keiner, and Hulk Hogan (by himself) face off in a match where no one is likable and everyone has something to prove—or sell.

And of course, Ariana Grande returns, still clutching the wish-granting Ancient Relic that recently made Lady Gaga disappear, and sent Alf to hell . The crowd wants Alf. Ariana wants Gaga. What happens next is anyone’s guess.

Episode 48 is a vortex of combustible rivalries, dangerous relics, improbable victories, and presidential fraud.

Tune in. Bring a helmet. And maybe… hide the eggs.
