Taped at The Junction in San Antonio, TX on 10/31 Southwest Championship Wrestling airing on Saturday 11/5 in local markets -Show intro- Steve Stack:Welcome to the most exciting hour in all of professional wrestling! We've got quite an hour of action in store for you today but first I'd like to apologize to the fans who came down to the HemisFair Arena last Sunday night expecting to see The Fabulous Ones defend the Southwest Tag Team Titles against Roy Lee Welch and Robert Fuller. That match turned out to actually be Jimmy Golden and Robert Fuller against The Fabulous Ones and I'll have Roy Lee Welch on right after the commercial break to talk about how exactly that came about. In other action from last Sunday, we saw Mil Mascaras defeat Tully Blanchard but Tully retained the Southwest Heavyweight Title because the match ended in a disqualification after interference from Jose Lothario and the man who was unmasked as "Mr. Mexico" the CUBAN, Fidel Sierra! We saw Jose try to extract revenge for his broken hand by attempting to injure Mil Mascaras but El Gran Apollo came down to help his friend, despite the problems they had here on TV last week and chaos ensued that ended with referee Carl Fergie being hit with a chair by Mil Mascaras and having his head busted open. Stanley Blackburn is here in The Junction today to talk about that incident and more later on in the hour but right now we've got to go to a commercial break but don't go away because as soon as we come back we're going to talk to the Southwest Television Champion Roy Lee Welch about why he was not able to compete in his scheduled Southwest Tag Team Title match last Sunday night. -First Commercial Break- Steve Stack: We're back on Southwest Championship Wrestling and with me now is the Southwest Television Champion, Roy Lee Welch. Roy you spent months trying to get a Southwest Tag Team Title match scheduled for yourself and your cousin Robert Fuller and last Sunday you finally had your chance but instead of you and Robert teaming up, it ended up being Robert & Jimmy Golden facing The Fabulous Ones instead. How exactly did that situation come about? Roy Lee Welch: Steve I've had a giant headache all week. And it's not just from the 10 stitches I still have on the back of my head, it's from wondering how I could be so stupid as to fall into Robert and Jimmy's trap. I knew that Robert was still teaming with Jimmy in Alabama, I should have never trusted him when he told me he wanted to win team with me and win the Southwest Tag Team Titles with me so he heal the rift in our family. But I wanted to believe it, I wanted to finally gain the acceptance of him and Jimmy so I went along with it. And I paid the price but damn near having them kill me! Steve Stack: Roy I've seen the big gash on the back of your head what the heck happened? Roy Lee Welch: Sunday morning I went to pick Robert up from the airport, everything seemed fine. I met him at the terminal and I was helping him put his bags into my trunk when suddenly someone came up from behind me and knocked me out, I think with a tire iron. And the next thing I knew, I woke up locked inside the trunk of my own car, covered in blood! Steve Stack: Wait a minute...you're saying that you were jumped from behind and thrown into the trunk of your car and that's why you couldn't be found Sunday? Roy Lee Welch: That's exactly what happened Steve and since Jimmy Golden was "conveniently" able to show up and take my place in the match I can only assume he was the one who hit me from behind and threw me into the trunk. Steve Stack: That's...I can't even believe someone would do that at all much less to a member of their own family. We saw you run out to the ring at the end of the match between Robert Fuller & Jimmy Golden vs The Fabs, how did you get out of the trunk? Roy Lee Welch: For that I have to thank my friend Tony Torres. Tony had been trying to find me all day and I had talked to him on the phone before I went to pick Robert up from the airport. When he heard Robert announce that I was too sick to wrestle, he knew something was up and he went and found my car in the parking lot and heard me trying to kick my way out of the trunk. So he busted open my window and popped the trunk and got me out and helped bandage up my head and when I found out that Robert was in the ring wrestling with Jimmy Golden I realized what had happened to me and I rushed out to the ring to try and get my revenge. I wanted to fight both of them right here on TV today but the doctors wouldn't allow me to wrestle with stitches still in my head so I'm being kept out of the ring this week. But make no mistake about it, I'm not going to make any excuses for my cousins this time, this means war! You two set me up so you could try and steal the Southwest Tag Team Titles but it didn't work out that way and now I'm going to make both of you pay no matter what I have to do! Steve Stack: This is almost beyond comprehension to me Roy. I can only imagine how long Robert Fuller and Jimmy Golden plotted and schemed to come up with this plan. Roy Lee Welch: Who knows Steve, this might have been the plan all the way back from August when he came in to help me fight Eddy Mansfield and Buddy Roberts and we were trying to get a title match with The Texas Dynasty. All I know is, whether the match takes place here in Texas or I have to go back to Alabama, I'm going to get my revenge and I'm going to bust open THEIR skulls and make THEM get some stitches in their head for what they did to me. Steve Stack: Roy...I don't know if you're aware of this but due to the match ending in a DQ win for Robert Fuller and Jimmy Golden they've been given a rematch this Sunday night at The HemisFair Arena and will be wrestling The Fabulous Ones again for the Southwest Tag Team Titles. Roy Lee Welch: They're going to get rewarded for what they did to me!? Why don't I get a tag team title match with a different partner seeing as I'm the one who had to call Stanley Blackburn for months to even get the title shot in the first place!? Steve I've got to go, I can't be out here any more or I'm going to start using some words that aren't allowed on television. -Roy Lee Welch leaves the interview area Steve Stack: Roy Lee Welch is very upset and I can't say that I blame him one bit. Being attacked by your own family and locked in the trunk of your own car would make anyone see red. We're going to hear Robert Fuller and Jimmy Golden's side of the story later on in the hour but right now we're going to go down to the ring for our first match of the day with Steve Pardee taking on Jimmy Doo. Steve Stack: A very impressive victory for the always popular Steve Pardee! We'll be seeing Steve back in action this Sunday night at The HemisFair Arena in a big six man tag team match that we'll be talking about more later on in the program. Right now we've got to take another time out for our sponsors but don't go away because when we come back we're going to show you the unmasking of Mr. Mexico and hear from Stanley Blackburn about what happened at the end of the night last Sunday when Carl Fergie was accidentally struck with a chair in the hands of Mil Mascaras. -Second commercial break- Steve Stack: Welcome back to Southwest Championship Wrestling. Before we hear from Stanley Blackburn I have a video I want to show from my interview with Moose Morowski after his match with Jim Duggan at the HemisFair Arena. For those of you who weren't in attendance Sunday night, Moose Morowski turned down the offer of the briefcase full of money at the start of the match, only to attack Jim Duggan during the contest and walk off with the briefcase. Here are his comments as to why that took place. Steve Stack: Well those were the comments of Moose Morowski and true to his word he's left Texas and is back in Canada now. We'll be talking to Jim Duggan shortly about what Moose's actions and what he had to say but right now I want to bring in the President of the AWA, Stanley Blackburn and - -Suddenly Jose Lothario and Fidel Sierra come out to the interview area Steve Stack: What are you two doing out here? This isn't your time and - Jose Lothario: We want to talk to Stanley Blackburn! We want Mil Mascaras suspended for what he did to referee Carl Fergie! There is no place in professional wrestling for people who would attack a referee with a chair and we want to make sure that Stanley Blackburn is going to do the right thing and get Mil Mascaras out of here for good! -Suddenly Mil Mascaras and El Gran Apollo come out to the interview area Mil Mascaras: Suspend me? The whole thing was your fault because you ran out and interfered with my match and cost me my chance at the Southwest Heavyweight Title! If anyone should be suspended it's your fake Mr. Mexico who is from CUBA for wrestling under that mask while he was suspended in the first place! Fidel Sierra: That's a lie! Last Sunday night was the first night I ever wore that mask. That was the first night I was eligible to return from my 90 day suspension and I was just filling in for the real Mr. Mexico who had a family emergency and had to return to Mexico City. Mil Mascaras: You know you're a liar! -It looks like a brawl is about to break out at the interview area when suddenly Stanley Blackburn comes out Stanley Blackburn: Gentlemen! This is not the time and place for you to fight and I want you to settle down right now! Jose, first of all I want you to know that I have DENIED your request to be allowed to compete with a broken hand because I know that you can not be trusted to refrain from using that cast as a weapon. Jose Lothario: What!? You can't deny me my right to make a living! Stanley Blackburn: You're not cleared to wrestle with a broken hand unless I allow an exception and I will not do it. I will however grant you a temporary manager's license while you're unable to compete. But you will not be managing this man here because I am now giving him ANOTHER 90 day suspension for wrestling under the Mr. Mexico mask during his original suspension! Fidel Sierra: You can't do this to me! I told you I was only under that mask for one night, I'm not Mr. Mexico, I'm not even Mexican! Stanley Blackburn: Jose you get him out of here now or I'm not going to be giving you that manager's license after all! -Jose Lothario and Fidel Sierra leave the interview area Stanley Blackburn: Now as for you Mil...I know that you hitting Carl Fergie with the chair was an accident but I've already set the precedent that violence against a referee will not be tolerated in the AWA. As such, unfortunately I am going to have to suspend you for 30 days. Mil Mascaras: I can't believe this! Carl Fergie himself accepted my apology, I'm going to appeal this! -Mil Mascaras storms off and Apollo goes to follow him but Stanley Blackburn stops him Stanley Blackburn: I know the fans would have wanted to see Mil Mascaras get a rematch with Tully Blanchard due to the way that match ended last Sunday but under the circumstances I just couldn't allow that to happen. Instead, I have decided that this Sunday night Tully Blanchard will be defending the Southwest Heavyweight Title against this man right here, El Gran Apollo! Apollo you've shown tremendous ability since your arrival here in the area and I personally consider you one of the fastest rising stars in not just the AWA and all of professional wrestling. As such I think it's only fitting that you should be awarded a Southwest Heavyweight Title match. That's all I have to say at this time. -Stanley Blackburn leaves the interview area to a mixed reaction from the crowd in The Junction Steve Stack: Well suspending Mil Mascaras didn't make him the most popular person here with the crowd but I think overall those were fair decisions from the President of the AWA. El Gran Apollo, congratulations on receiving your Southwest Heavyweight Title match and good luck this Sunday night. Apollo: Thank you Steve Stack. I wish my friend Mil Mascaras no was suspended but I want make him proud and win the title this Sunday. -Apollo leaves the interview area Steve Stack: Fans we've got to take a break now and when we come back we're going to talk to the 'Hacksaw' Jim Duggan about his ongoing battle with Sheik Adnan and The Zambuie Express and we'll also meet the mountain of a man who showed up to wrestle Mike Masters last week at the HemisFair Arena, the brother of Tiny Anderson, Link Anderson. Don't go away we'll be right back! -Third commercial break- Steve Stack: Well I see that Sheik Adnan has paid for another video message to be shown on the program but now I'd like to bring out the man he was just talking about, 'Hacksaw' Jim Duggan! Steve Stack: Jim it was another rough week for you at the HemisFair Arena as Moose Morowski left you high and dry and you took another beating from the Zambuie Express. What do you have to say about Moose Morowski and his actions? Jim Duggan: I think it's a good thing for him that he ran off back to Canada before I had a chance to get my hands on him. He says he's retired from wrestling and I don't feel like chasing him down at his house but brother if I ever hear about him stepping back into the ring then I can guarantee you I'm going to get my revenge on him and after I'm finished he WILL be retired. Steve Stack: You're scheduled for another tag match against them this week, is there anyone left that you can trust to be your partner? Jim Duggan: You know after my match Sunday I was thinking the same things that Sheik Adnan just said on that video. I was wondering if there was anyone in the world that I could trust to help me in my fight against The Zambuie Express and then I got a phone call from maybe the only person in the world that I know WON'T take Geek Adnan's dirty money. I'm not going to spoil the surprise for the Sheik and have him send any extra mercenaries this Sunday, I'll just let everyone find out Sunday night when we come down to the ring together. But brother I can assure you this man isn't looking for any briefcases full of money he is looking to beat the brains out of The Zambuie Express and cause Sheik Adnan some trouble just like I am. -Jim Duggan leaves the interview area and Man Mountain Link comes in with Tiny Anderson Steve Stack: Now let me introduce everyone to Tiny Anderson's older brother "Man Mountain" Link Anderson. Link despite all the tough talk from Mike Masters out here last week about what he was going to do to you, it didn't seem like he wanted any part of you once you two were in the ring together. It was less than a minute of action before he bailed out of the ring and went back to the locker room and got himself counted out. Link: That's right Steve Stack and there's nothing else to call the man except a coward! I came all the way here from wrestling in New Zealand for Steve Rickard to stick up for my brother. But I need to correct you on one thing, I'm actually the baby of the family and Tiny Anderson is the older brother. I just happen to be bigger than him which is how he got the name Tiny in the first place. Steve Stack: This Sunday night you two will be teaming up together along with Steve Pardee to take on the team of Mike Masters, Art Crews and Timothy Flowers what are your thoughts about that 6 man tag team match? Link: I don't know a lot about Steve Pardee but Tiny tells me he's really good and I saw him make short work of Jimmy Doo earlier in the show so I'm happy to have him as a partner. But honestly I'd rather get Mike Masters in the ring alone and this time get my hands on him and keep him from running away so I can make him pay for all the embarrassment he put my brother through. But I have a feeling he cried and did everything he could to block me from getting another singles match with him so I'll just have to take what I can get. Steve Stack: I have a feeling you're right on that, I suspect the 6 man tag match came about through the negotiations of Jim Holliday avoiding another singles match. Speaking of singles matches you're scheduled for action right about now against Mike Fever so I'll let you go on down to the ring now so the fans who weren't in the HemisFair Arena last Sunday night can get the chance to see you in action for the first time. -Man Mountain Link heads down to the ring where Mike Fever is already waiting Steve Stack: Link Anderson certainly isn't called the 'Man Mountain' for nothing ladies and gentlemen! I'm not sure if even the whole team of Mike Masters, Art Crews & Timothy Flowers would be able to get him off his feet. Right now we have to take another break but when we come back we'll have an update on the condition of David Von Erich and we'll also hear from the Southwest Heavyweight Champion Tully Blanchard! -Fourth commercial break- Steve Stack: We're back on Southwest Championship Wrestling! Right now I'd like to play a video we received from David Von Erich from his family's ranch in Dallas, Texas with an update on his condition following the attack by Tully Blanchard and having his head slammed in the door of the steel cage. Steve Stack: Those were the words of David Von Erich and I'm sure that when he comes back he'll - -Tully comes into the interview area and interrupts Steve Stack Tully Blanchard: You're sure that when he gets back he's going to get his brains beaten out, what's left of them anyway, by the greatest wrestler that Texas has ever produced the man you're looking at right now, the Southwest Heavyweight Champion, Tully Blanchard. That's what you were going to say isn't it Steve Stack? Steve Stack: Not quite. Tully Blanchard: And that just shows how misguided you are Steve Stack, to really believe that someone from a second rate family like the Von Erichs could ever beat anyone from the REAL Texas Dynasty, the Blanchard family. Now I think we've talked enough about the garbage that I've gotten rid of, why don't you ask me about my Southwest Heavyweight Title match this Sunday night? Steve Stack: Alright then Tully but first I'd like to ask you how you feel about the way you kept that title last Sunday night having your title saved when Jose Lothario and Fidel Sierra interfered in the match and caused you to be disqualified? Tully Blanchard: Saved me? All they did was save Mil Mascaras from being pinned by me, I knew he was getting ready to come off the top rope with his Flying Crossbody and I was going to counter it and beat him right in the middle of the ring like so few men have ever been able to do in this sport. Mil Mascaras is the one who was saved last Sunday, not me. And he got saved again by Stanley Blackburn because he got suspended and denied me MY right to a rematch so I could prove to everyone the truth of what I'm saying right now. Steve Stack: That's a very...unique way of looking at it. But now with Mil Mascaras suspended you'll be defending your Southwest Heavyweight Title against one of the hottest young stars in all of professional wrestling in El Gran Apollo. Tully Blanchard: Who cares about that punk kid? Did you forget that I beat him a few months ago when he came to the area when he was still buddies with Jose Lothario, before Jose realized he was wasting his time trying to turn that chump into a champ? I don't see where he even deserves to get in the same ring with a fine athlete like myself in the first place but since I have to defend my title against SOMEONE I guess he'll have to do. But make no mistake about it Steve Stack, he has no chance and I WILL walk out of the HemisFair Arena still YOUR Southwest Heavyweight Champion. Steve Stack: Tully thank you for your time I think that's about enough from you for today. Tully Blanchard: There can never be enough of me, I'm the best thing on this program each and every week. -Tully leaves and Mike Masters comes in with 'Gentleman' Jim Holliday Steve Stack: Now let me welcome to the program 'Gentleman' Jim Holliday and his client Mike Masters. Jim this week at the HemisFair Arena your client is involved in a 6 man tag match teaming with Art Crews and Timothy Flowers against Man Mountain Link, Tiny Anderson and Steve Pardee. Could you tell me a little about how that match came about and why you chose Art Crews and Timothy Flowers to be Mike Masters' partners in that match? Holliday: Well before we talk about that I just want to say what a travesty of justice it is that Mike Masters is not wrestling on television today against Roy Lee Welch for the TV title. He clearly had the man beaten last week as the time limit ran out with Roy Welch trapped in the unbreakable Full Nelson and there was no other plausible result except Welch submitting or passing out. Steve Stack: I know that the promoters of Southwest wanted to provide a rematch here this week but with Roy Lee Welch not cleared to compete due to the stitches in the back of his head they had to postpone the match. Holliday: I think they should have just had Welch forfeit the title since Masters is the uncrowned champion and their rematch is a foregone conclusion anyway, but moving on I'll answer your first question. I've had my eye on the team of Art Crews and Timothy Flowers since I arrived here and I think they have the potential for greatness but are currently lacking in direction. If they can prove themselves worthy of my services this week in the 6 man tag then I will take them under my wing and in no time at all I will mold them into one of the finest teams in all of professional wrestling. Steve Stack: But how exactly did you come to have a 6 man tag match scheduled in the first place? I'm sure that Man Mountain Link was looking for a singles rematch due to the way Mike Masters ducked out of the match last week at the HemisFair Arena. Masters: I didn't duck out of anything! He wasn't qualified to get in the ring with me so I refused to wrestle him again and - Holliday: Hold on Mike, let me handle this. My client did not duck out of the ring last Sunday nor did he refused to wrestle Man Mountain Link again. He simply requested a match that would allow Link to prove himself worthy of the opportunity to face one of the finest athletes in all of professional wrestling, seeing as how Link had not even wrestled anyone else previously in this area. That's how the 6 man tag came about, my client is certainly not avoiding anyone and certainly not Man Mountain Link. Steve Stack: So you're saying if Link's team is victorious this Sunday night then you'll sign for another match between him and Mike Masters? Holliday: Well I don't know if I would go quite that far but it would certainly increase the probability of a rematch. But that's not even worth talking about as I have the utmost confidence that Mike Masters will secure the victory for his team as long as Art Crews and Timothy Flowers hold up their end of the bargain. Steve Stack: Gentlemen I thank you for your time but we've got to take another commercial break here. Holliday: I assure you the pleasure was all yours Steve Stack. -Jim Holliday and Mike Masters leave the interview area Steve Stack: Fans we've got to take one final time out for our sponsors but don't go away because when we come back I'll be talking to Robert Fuller and Jimmy Golden about what took place between them, Roy Lee Welch and The Fabulous Ones last Sunday and we'll also be seeing them in action against the team of Mike Jackson and Tony Torres. You won't want to miss it! -Fifth and final commercial break- Steve Stack: We're back on Southwest Championship Wrestling and standing with me now are Robert Fuller and Jimmy Golden. I wanted to get your - Robert Fuller: Hold on just a minute! What kind of an introduction was that? First of all your forget to introduce me as the AWA National Heavyweight Champion, which I am, and this title belt right here is the proof of it. And you also forgot to announce us as the uncrowned Southwest Tag Team Champions which is what we are because we would have won that match against The Fabulous Ones if it wasn't for our no good runt of a cousin Roy Lee Welch sticking his nose into our business and causing a disqualification. Steve Stack: Well introductions aside, I think that match was very much Roy Lee Welch's business seeing as he was the one scheduled to team with you and not this man here Jimmy Golden. Jimmy Golden: Oh who cares about that? Everyone should be able to take a look at me and see I'm more qualified to be Robert's partner than that little punk, he barely comes up to either of our waists and thinks he deserves a Southwest Tag Team Title shot. Steve Stack: Well he IS the Southwest Television Champion. Jimmy Golden: That's supposed to impress us? We know how he won that belt, we aren't going to claim some wimp who has to win a title due to a woman swinging her purse around as part of our family. Steve Stack: Let's move on the story from Roy Lee Welch that he told earlier today - Robert Fuller: Hold on hold on! Before we get to that, let's talk about the story that you DIDN'T tell out here. You didn't tell these people where The Fabulous Ones are this week. They're back in OUR stomping grounds in Alabama and Georgia chasing after the National Tag Team Titles that they LOST to the team of Bobby Eaton and Tom Prichard. That right there should tell you what's going to happen when they step into the ring with us on Sunday night The Heavenly Bodies are the 2nd best team in the Southeastern area, after us of course, so if The Fabs couldn't beat them what chance do they have to beat us? Steve Stack: It is true that The Fabulous Ones lost the AWA National Tag Team Titles to the team of Bobby Eaton and Tom Prichard but it certainly was not without the help of their manager Jim Cornette. They have a rematch scheduled for tonight and it remains to be seen whether or not The Heavenly Bodies will be able to retain those National Titles or whether The Fabs will be back here Sunday night with both sets of belts. But you avoided the question I wanted to ask, is it true what Roy Lee Welch said about what took place in the airport parking lot last Sunday? Jimmy Golden: Yea it's true. I did knock him on the back of his stupid head with a tire iron and throw him into the trunk of his car only because I know he didn't have the sense to move out of the way and allow me to team with Robert in his place. Everyone saw how great of a team we are and how we would have won the match without him sticking his nose into it and this Sunday we're going to walk out of the HemisFair Arena the new Southwest Tag Team Champions. Robert Fuller: The only part of that story that wasn't true was the part about Tony Torres breaking his window to help him out of the trunk! I've heard about people like Tony Torres about how those border jumpers like to steal cars and I think he just ended up opening the trunk by accident when he was trying to hot wire the car and run off with it! Steve Stack: Ok I think we've heard enough from you two now with that kind of talk, it's time for the main event of you two against the team of Tony Torres and Mike Jackson. Jimmy Golden: You said it right we ARE the main event, every time we step into the ring anywhere we go in the country and we're gonna make short work of these two goofs. Steve Stack: I don't know what the official decision is on that match it barely even got started! But we're just about out of time anyway so fans don't miss your chance to see another huge night of action this Sunday night at The HemisFair Arena! You'll see Robert Fuller and Jimmy Golden taking on The Fabulous Ones for the Southwest Tag Team Titles, Tully Blanchard defending the Southwest Heavyweight Title against El Gran Apollo, Jim Duggan teaming with a partner he guarantees will not turn his back on him against the formidable Zambuie Express and much much more! Make sure to be there Sunday night and be right back here next week for more of the hottest hour in all of professional wrestling right here on Southwest Championship Wrestling! Scheduled for Sunday, November 6th at the HemisFair Arena in San Antonio, TX Southwest Tag Team Titles: Robert Fuller & Jimmy Golden vs. The Fabulous Ones Southwest Heavyweight Title: El Gran Apollo vs. Tully Blanchard Jim Duggan & a mystery partner vs. The Zambuie Express Mr. Saito vs. Eddie Gilbert Mike Masters, Art Crews & Timothy Flowers vs. Man Mountain Link, Tiny Anderson & Steve Pardee Ken Lucas vs. Yoshi Seito Larry Hamilton vs. The Canadian Yin & Yang vs. Bruiser Costa & Terry Adonis

I really need to watch Sheik/Slaughter but for me I put Duggan/Dibiase over Tully/Magnum. I fucking love Tully and I'd take him over DiBiase just about any other time but the Duggan/DiBiase feud and blow off is pretty much perfect in my eyes.

Yea I'm looking forward to finding out who is the next big "discovery" because before this service came out I definitely don't think there was a whole lot of yearning for new matches to be released from Jose Lothario or Gino Hernandez. Personally, I'm hoping to finally get a good look at Ken Lucas.

Yea I'm going to take Parv's side here and say that Bill comes across as the much bigger dickhead in this. Bill you wanting to run Parv off the board or get him banned is just childish bullshit. You're apparently sticking up for all these nameless faceless people who've been scared off by Parv's posting but who really gives a shit about defending them? If they don't have the balls to defend their opinion or the sense to just ignore someone who is so at odds with them then do we really need to shed crocodile tears that they aren't on PWO? And attempt to run off someone who is at least willing to spend great amounts of time and effort to review and analyze footage in the process? I don't think so. And I say all this as someone who has also been so annoyed at Parv's insistence that his opinion is the correct and true narrative that I caricaturized him in my 1983 fantasy booking with Lord Alfred Hayes.

Just for the record, the Lord Alfred Hayes trade to Florida was for Ron Sexton. I'll try and update the roster thread with everything from in here and the December draft soon.

I think the "everyone wants to boo Reigns" thing really isn't true. He gets good reactions on house show fan cams and in certain cities on Raw. Yea some of the smarkier cities in the Northeast or in England hate on him but we're pretty much past the point of babyfaces getting a solidified reaction, at least ones who WWE fully gets behind. Now the cool thing is to hate on anyone that's "WWE approved" and I'm positive if they went all in on a Dean Ambrose or Dolph Ziggler push then a backlash against them would not be far behind. Let's not forget there was a sizeable portion of the internet crowd hating on Rusev's push and it wasn't until after he lost to Cena that everyone suddenly decided he was awesome and WWE fucked him up. Guys who get strong pushes now get backlash because the new way of "rooting for the underdog" is to root for the guy the WWE is misusing.

Actually that's a hell of a pick Bruce. I'm surprised that hasn't been mentioned yet actually. That was definitely another one of those things that helped drive the nail into the coffin of World Class. Fritz coming on TV and announcing that Lance Von Erich was a fake was another awful debacle. Trying to create a fake Von Erich itself was a debacle but then openly telling the fans that you did it was incredibly short sighted.

I didn't mind Sunny with LOD because Sunny was at her hottest during that time period. This outfit made up for the really odd pairing (at least it did for 13 year old me)

Yes! I've been hoping to finally see a singles match between them.

Can I get Abdullah the Butcher on the 13th?

My hiatus lasted a little longer than anticipated but with my 2 shows posted today that gets me into November at least and hopefully by the end of the weekend I'll have another week of shows posted and be able to try and get caught up on reading and commenting on everyone else's stuff.

Southwest Championship Wrestling @ San Antonio, TX - The HemisFair Arena 10/30/83 Yin & Yang vs. Art Crews & Timothy Flowers - Yin & Yang won the match in 8:01 after Yin pinned Art Crews following a Flying Headbutt off the top rope Larry Hamilton vs. The Canadian - The match went to a draw when both men were counted out fighting outside of the ring after around 9 minutes of action Eddie Gilbert & Ken Lucas vs. Yoshi Seito & Mr. Saito - Eddie Gilbert & Ken Lucas won the match in 12:42 after Eddie Gilbert connected with his Top Rope Dropkick on Yoshi Seito. After the match Mr. Saito attacked Gilbert from behind and hit him with the Saito Suplex and then brawled with Ken Lucas until Yoshi Seito recovered and helped him and then the two of them beat on Ken Lucas until Eddie Gilbert recovered and chased them off with a chair Tiny Anderson's brother vs. Mike Masters w/Jim Holliday - Mike Masters came out first and Jim Holliday got on the mic and declared Mike Masters the uncrowned Southwest Television champion. Then this man came out to the ring: Announced as "Man Mountain" Link Anderson, the big brother of Tiny Anderson. Mike Masters looked rather intimidated by the size of his opponent as he walked down to the aisle and jumped him as soon as he started to come through the ropes. Masters pounded on him as the bell rang but Man Mountain Link withstood the pounding and then shoved Mike Masters who went flying backwards. Link challenged Masters to come at him again but instead Masters bailed out of the ring and went back to the locker room with Jim Holliday following behind him trying to talk him into going back. Man Mountain Link was declared the winner via countout in less than a minute of action. Jim Duggan & Moose Morowski vs. The Zambuie Express - The Zambuie Express try to offer a briefcase of money to Moose Morowski before the match but Moose turns it down! Kareem Muhammad and Duggan start the match against each other and Duggan just eats him up, hammering him with punches until Kareem bails out by tagging in Elijah Akeem. Akeem doesn't fare any better against Duggan until Kareem Muhammad runs in and attacks Duggan from behind and the two of them double team on Duggan, gaining more time to do so as Moose Morowski tries to run into the ring to help. The Zambuie Express get Duggan into their corner and really work him over. A few times Duggan looks to be about to escape from their corner and make a tag but gets cut off. Moose cheers him on but gets more and more frustrated as Duggan is unable to make it to the corner to tag him in. The Zambuie Express eventually get Duggan busted open and they hold up the bleeding Duggan and taunt Moose Morowski about not taking the money. Moose rushes into the ring to attack Kareem Muhammad but then levels Duggan with a clothesline! He asks Muhammad if he can still take the money and Elijah Akeem hands him the briefcase! Moose Morowski heads back to the locker room with the briefcase full of money in hand as the crowd boos the hell out of him. Kareem Muhammad goes for a big splash on Duggan but Duggan rolls out of the way! Duggan gets up and nails Muhammad with a big Spear and starts crawling towards his corner! He gets there and realizes his partner is gone just as Muhammad also makes it to the corner and tags in Elijah Akeem. Elijah Akeem rushes into Duggan's corner and nails him with a big Avalanche splash and then covers him for the win. Winners: The Zambuie Express in 10:22 after Moose Morowski abandoned his partner Hair vs Mask: El Gran Apollo vs. Mr. Mexico w/Jose Lothario - El Gran Apollo seemed distracted at the onset of this match and Mr. Mexico took full advantage. Mr. Mexico grounded Apollo in the opening parts of the match and worked him over with various holds until Apollo managed to break out of a chin lock and started a fiery comeback. As he went to the top rope for his Flying Crossbody, Jose Lothario jumped up on the apron and the momentary distraction allowed Mr. Mexico to recover and grab Apollo and slam him off the top rope. Mr. Mexico tried to pin Apollo after slamming him off the top rope but Apollo managed to kick out. Mr. Mexico started working a headlock on Apollo for a few minutes until Apollo started to rally again and shoved Mr. Mexico off who collided with referee Carl Fergie, sending the referee flying out through the ropes. Jose Lothario quickly entered the ring and attacked Apollo from behind. He got Mr. Mexico to hold Apollo from behind and wound up for a big punch with his cast covered hand but Apollo ducked at the last second and Jose connected with Mr. Mexico instead! Apollo then grabbed Jose and threw him over the top rope and covered Mr. Mexico just as referee Carl Fergie rolled back into the ring and counted the 3 count! Winner: El Gran Apollo in 11:33 after Jose Lothario's interference backfired After the match Jose argued with the referee about what happened, telling him that he punched Mr. Mexico with his cast and that Apollo should be disqualified. Mr. Mexico and Jose tried to leave the ring without Mr. Mexico unmasking but Apollo grabbed them and slammed their heads together and then yanked the mask off of Mr. Mexico revealing him to be Fidel Sierra! Jose tried to cover up Sierra's face as they ran back to the locker room together with Apollo holding the mask up in the center of the ring to the cheers of the crowd. Southwest Tag Team Titles: Robert Fuller & Roy Lee Welch vs. The Fabulous Ones - Robert Fuller came to the ring himself and announced that Roy Lee Welch had come down with a terrible case of the flu and was unable to wrestle tonight. He said he made an emergency phone call to another one of his family members to come to San Antonio and be his partner and if The Fabulous Ones will accept their challenge then he'll still wrestle them with Jimmy Golden taking Roy Lee Welch's place. The Fabs come out a little leery of the situation but they accept the match and the match becomes: Southwest Tag Team Titles: Robert Fuller and Jimmy Golden vs. The Fabulous Ones - Robert Fuller starts the match for his team and wants a handshake. Steve Keirn isn't too keen on the idea but Robert Fuller does the "cross my heart" gesture and swears he's not going to do anything so finally Steve Keirn shakes his hand and they start the match cleanly. After some clean wrestling between the two they reach a bit of a stalemate and both tag out. Jimmy Golden comes in and wants to shake hands with Stan Lane who is also not very interested in that idea. Golden finally convinces him to do so and once again it's just a clean handshake and Jimmy Golden and Stan Lane wrestle each other cleanly with Stan Lane eventually getting the better of it. While Stan Lane has Golden in an arm bar, Robert Fuller hands Jimmy Golden something in his free hand and then Golden nails Lane with a punch that seemingly knocks Stan Lane out! Steve Keirn saw the exchange between Fuller and Golden and tries to rush into the ring to attack them but referee Jack Howe pushes him back and Keirn argues with him about the foreign object with gives Golden time to hand it back to Robert Fuller who hides it under the turnbuckle pad. The referee checks Jimmy Golden and then Robert Fuller and doesn't find the object and then Golden covers Lane who kicks out at the count of 2. Golden gets Stan Lane into the corner with Robert Fuller and the two of them really turn up the aggressiveness now, just beating and stomping on Lane as Keirn continues to try and get involved but his interference only causes the referee to be distracted as Fuller and Golden start to cheat more and more behind the referee's back. Keirn finally gets around the referee and attacks Fuller and Golden in their corner and starts beating the hell out of both of them only to get caught with a punch with the foreign object as Golden retrieves it from the turnbuckle pad and lays Keirn out with it. Jimmy Golden drops down to the floor and pulls Keirn out with him and starts working him over with punches as Robert Fuller sets up Stan Lane for the Fuller Leglock in the ring when suddenly Roy Lee Welch runs out with a big bandage wrapped around his head and attacks Robert Fuller! He starts beating the hell out of Robert Fuller and referee Jack Howe throws the match out! Winners: Jimmy Golden and Robert Fuller by DQ in 14:49 after Roy Lee Welch attacked his cousin Robert Jimmy Golden rushes into the ring and tries to punch Roy Lee Welch with the foreign object but Welch ducks it and comes back with a big right hand of his own that puts Golden on the mat and causes him to drop the object. Roy Lee Welch sees the chain on the mat and grabs it and starts to wrap it around his fist but Golden and Fuller clear out of the ring! They shout at Roy Lee Welch for ruining their match as Roy tries to get them to come into the ring with him but Fuller and Golden see The Fabulous Ones starting to get back to their feet and head back to the locker room instead. The Fabs get up confused at seeing Roy Lee Welch in the ring and he tries to offer them a handshake but they don't really know what happened and decide to leave him in the ring alone by himself instead. Southwest Heavyweight Title: Mil Mascaras vs. Tully Blanchard - Tully tried to stall in the early going but Mascaras was able to grab hold of him and smother him on the mat. Mascaras really dominated Tully with wrestling until Tully was able to get in a cheap low blow with the referee out of position to see it. Tully took over and worked over Mascaras for a bit before hitting the Slingshot Suplex and went for the cover but Mascaras kicked out just before the count of 3! Tully complained to referee Carl Fergie about a slow count and tried for another Slingshot Suplex but Mascaras blocked it and hit a suplex of his own! Tully got up and charged at Mascaras who dodged him and Tully went crashing into the corner and then down to the mat. Mascaras quickly climbed up to the top rope and readied himself to come off with the Flying Bodypress but suddenly Jose Lothario and Fidel Sierra came running out and shoved him off the top rope! Carl Fergie called for the bell and disqualified Tully Blanchard while Jose and Fidel Sierra quickly went to work stomping and kicking at Mascaras down on the mat. Winner: Mil Mascaras by DQ in 13:09 after interference from Jose Lothario and Fidel Sierra Tully just shrugged his shoulders and grabbed the Southwest Title and headed for the locker room when he realized he'd been disqualified. Jose and Sierra started to try to take the mask off of Mil Mascaras when suddenly El Gran Apollo ran in and tried to help him! He attacked Fidel Sierra but got nailed in the back of the head by Jose's cast and then the two of them started to work over Apollo. They started to set him up for the Spike Piledriver but while they were beating on Apollo, Mil Mascaras recovered and went outside to grab a chair. As they set Apollo up for the Spike Piledriver, Mascaras came back into the ring wildly swinging the chair and he caught Fidel Sierra with it but then missed Jose Lothario and hit referee Carl Fergie instead! Jose bailed out of the ring and ran back to the locker room as Mascaras quickly stopped his attack to check on the injured referee. He tried to help Carl Fergie back up but Fergie was busted open from the chair and collapsed back down to the mat. Sierra managed to get out of the ring during the confusion and run back to the locker room as El Gran Apollo and Mil Mascaras both checked on the condition of Carl Fergie. Jack Howe came out and he helped Carl Fergie back to the locker room as Mil Mascaras and El Gran Apollo were left in the ring together. El Gran Apollo extended his hand to Mil Mascaras and Mascaras shook it, signaling an end to the animosity between them that was caused by the lies of Jose Lothario and the now unmasked "Mr. Mexico" Fidel Sierra.

You're a few months behind on that post kevin but glad you enjoyed the first month's shows.

Taped at The Junction in San Antonio, TX on 10/24 Southwest Championship Wrestling airing on Saturday 10/29 in local markets -Show intro- Steve Stack: Welcome to the most exciting hour in all of professional wrestling! As usual we've got a lot of news to get to but I think before we get to anything else it would be best to show a video of the closing moments of last Sunday night's action at The HemisFair Arena. The Fabulous Ones successfully retained their titles in the 'Last Dance' Cage match and it would appear that it really was the last time we'll ever see those two teams in action against each other because after the match was over, Tully Blanchard performed one of the most despicable acts I've ever seen. Let's go ahead and show the video now. Steve Stack: I've been told that David Von Erich is back in Dallas is back on his family's ranch recuperating from his injuries with Sunshine at his side. We hope to have an update on his condition next week but all I know right know is that he'll be out of action for some time. David Von Erich hasn't exactly made a favorable impression on the fans in the Southwest area since his arrival here from Dallas but no one deserves to be on the receiving end of that kind of attack and I wish him a speedy recovery and hope he'll be back here soon. Fans we'll back with more news from last Sunday night, including the winner of that 20 man Battle Royal who will face Tully Blanchard this week for the Southwest Heavyweight Title in the main event at The HemisFair Arena so don't go away! -First Commercial Break- Steve Stack: Welcome back to Southwest Championship Wrestling! Before we get to today's action I wanted to let the fans know that this Sunday night at the HemisFair Arena there will be a huge Southwest Heavyweight Title defense as Tully Blanchard is set to defend the title against the man who won the battle royal last Sunday night, Mil Mascaras! I wanted to - -Suddenly Jose Lothario & Mr. Mexico come out to the interview area Steve Stack: Now wait a minute, this isn't your time this is supposed to be Mil Mascaras' interview time. Jose Lothario: Nobody wants to hear about Mil Mascaras! They want to know how I am doing after he brutally assaulted me with a chair last Sunday night! I know the people were worried about my condition because I had phone calls all week from concerned fans telling me they hoped I was ok and I would pay back the evil Mil Mascaras for breaking my hand with a steel chair. Steve Stack: I find it hard to believe you got a lot of sympathy after the way you've been trying to injure people yourself, especially with how you ended the career of Omar Atlas just 2 weeks ago with a Spike Piledriver. Mr. Mexico: Of course you would stick up for Mascaras you might as well come out here with one of his masks on the way you cheer lead for him! That man is rotten, he's a lousy cheater and I want all the people to know that HOW he won that title shot against Tully Blanchard. We got the tape of how things ended and we want you to play it Steve Stack. Steve Stack: I am supposed to play that tape but with Mil Mascaras out here not you two, since this is NOT your time. Mr. Mexico: We don't care about that! Play the tape so we can show all these people what kind of a man Mil Mascaras really is. -The tape starts playing of the last moments of the battle royal where it came down to just Mil Mascaras and El Gran Apollo and then a few clips of their one on one match against each other Steve Stack: Just like they said they would last week, Apollo and Mil Mascaras shook hands and wrestled each other cleanly to decide the better man. Jose Lothario: That's what Mil Mascaras wants you to think! He wants you to think that he wrestled cleanly but the tape doesn't like look at this now! There's El Gran Apollo coming off the top rope and hitting his Flying Crossbody, a move that I taught him while he was with me, and he has Mil Mascaras beaten but look how Mil Mascaras rolls through. Look where his hand is! He's pulling Apollo's trunks! Steve Stack: His hand is on his trunks to pull Apollo over and roll through to land on top but I don't see him pulling the trunks! Mr. Mexico: Rewind the tape! Show it again! Look right there Steve Stack! Lie to these people if you want to Steve Stack but Jose and I know what kind of a cheating dog he is and he stole that title match from El Gran Apollo! He pulled his trunks and that's the only way he won that match! Steve Stack: I still don't see him actually PULLING the trunks I see his hand there but Mr. Mexico: Then you're blind Steve Stack! They need to get someone out here with some integrity who won't lie to these people like you're doing right now! Steve Stack: Well what I don't understand is why you two are even out here talking about this when you have your own problems to deal with. This Sunday night, Mr. Mexico, your mask is on the line in a Hair vs. Mask match against El Gran Apollo Mr. Mexico: I'm not worried about that! Nobody is going to take this mask off of me this is a symbol for my people, the people of Mexico to rally behind and although they have been a little slow to realize they should be cheering me instead of these frauds like Mil Mascaras or a Cuban like El Gran Apollo I know this Sunday night they'll be behind me. El Gran Apollo isn't going to be so handsome when he's bald and I think the girls aren't going to be screaming for him anymore after that. Steve Stack: Well I think that's about enough time for you two, thank you very much. We have to get down to the ring for Jose Lothario: Don't cut us off! Mil Mascaras I'm going to make you pay for breaking my hand real soon and El Gran Apollo you better realize that man is nothing but a snake, he cheated you out of your title match! -Jose Lothario and Mr. Mexico leave the interview area Steve Stack: I don't know what to make of that, it seems like Jose and Mr. Mexico just want to get inside Apollo's head before the big Hair vs Mask match and maybe try and end the partnership between Apollo and Mil Mascaras since they've been unable to beat them in the ring. But that's enough of that, let's head down to the ring now for our first match of the day between the now healed and returned Eddie Gilbert and his partner Ken Lucas as they're in action against Mike Fever and Jimmy Doo! Steve Stack: An impressive win for Gilbert and Lucas! It seems like Gilbert is in top form after returning from injury and he'll have to be as this Sunday night he and Lucas take on the formidable team of Mr. Saito and Yoshi Seito! Fans we have to take a time out but don't go away because when we come back we'll talk to winners of the 'Last Dance' Cage match, the AWA Southwest and National Tag Team Champions: The Fabulous Ones! -Second commercial break- Steve Stack: We're back and with me now are the current AWA Southwest and National Tag Team Champions, Steve Keirn and Stan Lane: The Fabulous Ones! First of all let me congratulate you on your big win this past Sunday night inside the Cage but there's no time to celebrate as you two have a very busy schedule. Steve Keirn: You're right about that Steve Stack. Pretty much as soon as we get done defending the Southwest Tag Team Titles this Sunday night we'll be hoping on a plane to get to Birmingham, Alabama and defend the National Tag Team Titles there. Then we'll be spending most of the week defending them around the towns in Alabama and Georgia before coming back here again next Sunday night. But that's ok with us, we like to stay busy because it means you're on top, it means you're the best and it means you're making a lot of money. Steve Stack: Well I know there is no shortage of teams looking to get a shot at those belts, you've got a National Tag Team Title defense that you mentioned coming up against Bobby Eaton and Tom Pritchard in Alabama and this Sunday night you're facing Roy Lee Welch and Robert Fuller for the Southwest Tag Team Titles. You guys spent a lot of time chasing The Texas Dynasty for those belts, what does it feel like now to be on the other end having everyone coming at you? Stan Lane: We're not strangers to being on top and having everyone looking up at you and that's just how we like it. There are a lot of great teams who want a shot at us but we're not done looking for gold ourselves. We still want the AWA World Tag Team Titles and we heard there is an even bigger tougher team holding them now than The Wild Bills, two guys who walk around in face paint and spikes and call themselves The Road Warriors. Well that might intimidate some people but it doesn't intimidate us and we're looking to get a match with them real soon. Steve Stack: Well I've seen some footage of The Road Warriors in action and they are certainly big and tough, that would be one heck of match and a main event in any arena in the world. I hope to see that match right here in San Antonio in The HemisFair Arena. Gentlemen I wish you luck on your travels around the country defending those National Tag Team Titles and right here at home defending those Southwest Tag Team Titles. Steve Keirn: Thank you Steve we're looking forward to holding on to these belts for a real long time. -The Fabulous Ones leave the interview area and Mil Mascaras comes in Steve Stack: Now let me bring in the number one contender to the Southwest Heavyweight Title, Mil Mascaras! Mil congratulations on winning that battle royal and I think it's safe to say you'll be the heavy crowd favorite in your match with Tully Blanchard especially with what we saw from Tully last week. Mil Mascaras: I thought there was nothing left that Tully Blanchard could do to surprise me but he's found a way to sink to a new low even for him with what the way he shoved Sunshine around and the way he attacked his own tag team partner. But I wanted to talk about the things that were said about me out here earlier. Steve Stack: I don't think you really even need to address that, I'm sure all the people here know those were just lies from Jose Lothario and Mr. Mexico trying to stir up trouble. Mil Mascaras: Well apparently not everyone Steve because El Gran Apollo and I almost got into a shoving match just before I came out here. Apparently he believes that I really did pull his tights to win the match. I can only say the people know I don't need to cheat to win matches, that's now how I wrestle. I beat El Gran Apollo right in the middle of the ring. That Top Rope Crossbody is a move that I've mastered, I know how to use the momentum of that move to wind up on top if someone else uses at against me. That's all that happened, I didn't pull his trunks. I'm sure maybe after he has some time to think about it he'll realize that Jose and Mr. Mexico just want to get in his head before his match Sunday. But they aren't going to get in mine. I'm ready for my match this Sunday and I'm ready to beat Tully Blanchard and take the Southwest Heavyweight Title. My people have been through a lot over the past few months with everything that Jose and his impostor have said about them and I am going to give them something to celebrate when I beat Tully Blanchard and hold that Southwest Heavyweight Title above my head. -Mil Mascaras leaves the interview area Steve Stack: That's a very confident Mil Mascaras and I have no doubt he'll be ready this Sunday night. We've got to take another commercial break but when come back I hope to get a word from El Gran Apollo and we'll also hear from Jim Duggan about the "blood money" that caused Butch Reed to turn on him last Sunday night, -Third commercial break- Steve Stack: Well fans we're back and during the break I tried to get someone to find El Gran Apollo and have him come out here and give his thoughts on what was said earlier by Jose Lothario and Mr. Mexico but apparently El Gran Apollo left the building after his argument with Mil Mascaras! I'm not sure what's going through the mind of that young man right now but he'd better stay focused on his match against Mr. Mexico or else he'll find himself having his head shaved Sunday night. Now I'd like to bring out a man who has had quite a few problems recently with Sheik Adnan al-Kaissie and his hired mercenaries, the 'Hacksaw' Jim Duggan! Steve Stack: Jim we saw you bring in wrestling's other 'Hacksaw', Butch Reed, to be your partner last Sunday night against The Zambuie Express but things didn't quite work out as you planned it. Duggan: That's one way to put it Steve Stack. I'd put it like that rotten Butch Reed sold me out to run off with a briefcase full of dirty money while I took a beating from The Zambuie Express. He busted me open with that metal briefcase so you can certainly call it blood money if you want to. Having those two big fat Zambuies jumping on me didn't do my ribs any good but luckily I had someone looking out for me and this week I'm gonna do what I should have done last week and make him my partner. Go ahead and come on out here now so I can shake your hand and thank you in front of all these people. -Moose Morowski comes out to the interview area Duggan: Two weeks ago you helped me out when The Zambuie Express appeared and attacked me and I told you I was going to find another partner. And then after Butch Reed left me high and dry you still came out and saved me from having my ribs broken. So brother this week it's going to be you and me and we're going bust some heads and send The Zambuie Express back to wherever they came from. Morowski: I should be thanking you Hacksaw. With your endorsement I know these people will warm up to me and this will give me the one last hurrah I've been looking for. I know The Zambuie Express are one of the toughest teams in all of wrestling, they're certainly the biggest, but I think I have enough left in the tank to stand with you and take care of them. I'm going to make you and these people proud of me so when I hang up my tights for good the people will know Moose Morowski was one of the toughest men to ever step foot in the ring. Duggan: Well I'm counting on you because I need a partner I can trust after what happened last week. I hope you're ready to bust some heads because I know I sure am! -Duggan shakes Morowski's hand and leaves the interview area Steve Stack: Moose from the reaction I'm hearing now it sounds like these people here in The Junction have forgiven you for your time with Lord Alfred Hayes. Morowski: Well I just hope I don't let them down this Sunday, I don't want to disappoint them or Jim Duggan so I need to be ready for this big match. That's why I asked for a match on TV here today and I'm ready to head down to the ring for it now. -Morowski leaves the interview area Steve Stack: There you have it, this Sunday night it's going to be Jim Duggan teaming with Moose Morowski to take on the biggest team in wrestling, Sheik Adnan's mercenaries: The Zambuie Express! And now let's head to the ring to see Moose Morowski in action against Terry Adonis. Steve Stack: The big Moose certainly looks ready for his match this Sunday night! Ladies and gentlemen don't go away because when we come back we're going to hear from the most controversial man in wrestling, the Southwest Heavyweight Champion, Tully Blanchard, and try and get his explanation for why he turned on David Von Erich and slammed his head in the door of the steel cage last Sunday night. -Fourth commercial break- Steve Stack: We're back on Southwest Championship Wrestling and with me now is - Tully Blanchard: I don't need any introduction Steve Stack, these people all know who I am. I am the greatest wrestler to ever come out of the state of Texas, their Southwest Heavyweight Champion and they all know my name. Steve Stack: Well then skipping introductions let's get right to the point, WHY did you do what you did last Sunday night? Why did you attack your partner in the Texas Dynasty and shove his girlfriend Sunshine down to the arena floor? Tully Blanchard: Why do you even need to ask why? It should be obvious. David Von Erich didn't have what it takes to be my partner, he couldn't hold on to the Southwest Television Title, he couldn't hold on to our tag team titles. I've held this Southwest Heavyweight Title for almost 6 months now, that's the true mark of a champion not winning a belt and losing it in a few weeks. I realized that I made a mistake in ever proclaiming him to be part of a Texas Dynasty. Because the truth is, the Von Erichs have always been the second class family to the Blanchards and you're all looking at the only Texas Dynasty there is: me! Steve Stack: So you're blaming David Von Erich for your losses to The Fabulous Ones? Tully Blanchard: He is the one whose girlfriend's purse caused us to lose the match isn't it? He's the one who got carried out on a stretcher and is back at home in Dallas nursing his wounds isn't he? While I'm still here getting ready to defend this Southwest Heavyweight Title Sunday night, because I am the most fighting champion in all of wrestling. Steve Stack: Tully the tape would clearly show YOU are the one who asked Sunshine to put her loaded purse into the ring last Sunday night. Tully Blanchard: You're wrong, as usual, Steve Stack. I did say something to Sunshine right before that happened but I told her to stop her hysterics, to calm down because I was in control of the situation and I would save her boyfriend from having his brains beat in by The Fabulous Ones. But she didn't listen, she climbed the cage anyway and dropped her purse into the ring and I had to have that brick smashed upside my head and dropped on top of it to knock me out. Steve Stack: I find that a little hard to believe Tully and I think Sunshine would tell a different story. Tully Blanchard: Well she's not here to tell any stories is she? And besides why would you believe a woman like that anyway? I told David Von Erich that he should get rid of her after she caused him to lose the TV Title to that runt Roy Lee Welch but he didn't listen to me. The Texas Dynasty should have been associated with a woman of class, a real woman of Texas not some Florida floozy. But he was "in love" and he told me he could talk to her and take care of things and well you see how that worked out for him. Now he's in Dallas on his daddy's ranch having to try and relearn how to eat solid foods while I'm here on TV, still a champion, still the best in this sport. Steve Stack: I think we've heard about enough from you about Sunshine and David Von Erich. Now let me ask you about your opponent this Sunday night, you have to defend your Southwest Heavyweight Title against one of the best wrestlers in all of the world, the man of a thousand masks, Mil Mascaras. Tully Blanchard: Am I supposed to impressed? Or intimidated? I've been in the ring before with Mil Mascaras with my Southwest Title on the line and he's never taken it from me so why am I supposed to be scared now? I will still be out here next week with this belt while Mil Mascaras will be off somewhere else around the country or in Japan or Mexico because that's what he does when he fails to get the job done he packs up and takes off somewhere else while I stay right here and prove I'm the best. And that's about all the time I have to bring myself down to your level of intelligence Steve Stack, it's time for me to go shine this belt up and get it looking nice for my main event at the HemisFair Arena. -Tully Blanchard leaves the interview area and Jim Holliday comes in with Mike Masters Steve Stack: Now let me welcome in the man whose services were "won" by Mike Masters last Sunday night, Jim Holliday and his newest charge. Jim last week you said you wanted to see who was more worthy of your services between Steve Pardee and Mike Masters but with the way that match played out it seemed like your mind was already made up. Holliday: You couldn't be more wrong Steve Stack, I came out to the ring with a clear mind looking to see who would impress me the most, who was the most worthy of having the best manager and the greatest negotiator in wrestling in their corner. And while Steve Pardee was busy ignoring my advice and trying to do things his own way, Mike Masters was following my instructions and that's why he won the match and that's why I'm out here with him today. Steve Stack: I may have my doubts about that statement but there is no doubting your ability as a negotiator. You've already gotten this man a Southwest Television Title match with Roy Lee Welch right here on TV today which we'll be seeing in just a few minutes now. Holliday: Of course I got him a title shot, that's what I do. I'm a manager of champions and after today this man will finally have the gold around his waist that he deserves. Steve Stack: Today he'll be wrestling Roy Lee Welch for the Southwest Television Title but on Sunday night he'll be facing a different opponent, a man I really don't know anything about except that his last name is Anderson. The big brother of Tiny Anderson has apparently arrived her in San Antonio and he'll be wrestling Mike Masters this Sunday night in his first appearance in the area. Holliday: That's right, when I heard he was coming in I told the promoters of Southwest that I wanted that match immediately. I don't want my man Mike Masters to have to spend any more time than is necessary facing sub-par competition like Tiny Anderson and whoever his loser brother turns out to be. He will be the TV champ after today and he needs to be wrestling better men than that slob Tiny and I'm sure his brother will be even more disgusting and inept. Steve Stack: I'm not quite sure what to expect from Tiny Anderson's brother but I do know that it seems you're taking Roy Lee Welch far too lightly he has surprised a lot of people with his ability since coming to the Southwest area and he's not the Television champion for nothing. Holliday: Who cares about that shrimp? Mike Masters is going to toss him around like the runt that he is and that make him squeal for mercy when he locks him into the Full Nelson. I'm not going to stand out here and listen to you act like there is even the remotest possibility of Roy Lee Welch defeating Mike Masters so I think this interview is over now, let's go Mike. -Mike Masters and Jim Holliday leave the interview area Steve Stack: Well fans we've got to take a break now anyway and when we come back we'll have that main event of Roy Lee Welch defending the Southwest Television title against Mike Masters so don't go away! -Fifth and final commercial break- Steve Stack: We're back on Southwest Championship Wrestling and before we get to our big main event TV Title match I wanted to get a quick word from the champion Roy Lee Welch. Roy you've got a lot on your plate again as you face a very tough competitor here on TV today and team up with your cousin Robert Fuller this Sunday night against The Fabulous Ones for the Southwest Tag Team Titles. Roy Lee Welch: You're right Steve,it's been an incredible few weeks for me winning the Southwest TV Title, battling with Bill Ash and having to break his leg before he broke mine and now reuniting with my cousin Robert to finally get that Southwest Tag Team Title match we've been after. But I can handle it all, I'm not overwhelmed because this is what I've wanted to do my whole life. My entire family is involved in the wrestling business and it's what I wanted to do for as long as I can remember and now I've got this title to prove to my family and the whole world that I do belong in this sport and that I have what it takes to compete at the highest level. And next week I hope to come out here with another title, one half of the Southwest Tag Team Titles with my cousin Robert because I know if he and I win those belts it will be the key to finally reuniting with my whole family, even Jimmy Golden. Steve Stack: Well Roy I wish you luck in that and now it's time to head down to the ring for your title match today against Mike Masters. Steve Stack: I hate to draw conclusions but it seems like Roy Lee Welch may have been saved by the bell there as he was locked in tight in that Full Nelson! I have a feeling we'll be seeing a title rematch between those two real soon but for today we're all out of time! Make sure to get your tickets for this Sunday night at the HemisFair Arena it's going to be another huge night of action with Tully Blanchard defending the Southwest Heavyweight Title against Mil Mascaras, the Fabulous Ones defending the Southwest Tag Team Titles against Robert Fuller and Roy Lee Welch, Jim Duggan teams with Moose Morowski to face off against The Zambuie Express, El Gran Apollo puts his hair on the line against the mask of Mr. Mexico and much more! Don't miss it and make sure to tune in next week for more of the hottest hour in professional wrestling right here on Southwest Championship Wrestling! Scheduled for Sunday, October 30th at the HemisFair Arena in San Antonio, TX Southwest Heavyweight Title: Mil Mascaras vs. Tully Blanchard Southwest Tag Team Titles: Robert Fuller & Roy Lee Welch vs. The Fabulous Ones Hair vs Mask: El Gran Apollo vs. Mr. Mexico Jim Duggan & Moose Morowski vs. The Zambuie Express Mike Masters vs. Tiny Anderson's brother Eddie Gilbert & Ken Lucas vs. Yoshi Seito & Mr. Saito Larry Hamilton vs. The Canadian Yin & Yang vs. Art Crews & Timothy Flowers

I don't see how Kevin Owens vs Bryan or just Bryan in a "show stealing workrate match" with someone else wouldn't have him doing a lot more stupid risky spots than a match with HHH.

But WWE said it was!

Seth Rollins ruining the Mania main event with a MITB cash really torpedoed my interest in WWE. At this point I'm not even interested enough to steal their PPVs, I haven't watched a PPV since June when I dumped my Network sub. Usually I would at least torrent their big shows even when I wasn't watching weekly.

Tighten up Johnny that's been up for probably 2 months now. Definitely a fun watch and one of the few fun gimmick matches that didn't get copied and run into the ground. Are we sure that's Masked Superstar at the end? I couldn't figure out who the masked guy that cleared the ring with a cattle prod was when I watched it.

I'm passing

I like Masao Ito!

I'd start at the beginning of 1984 so you can watch the rise of The Midnight Express, the RNRs and Buddy Landell and you definitely want to see all the great stuff between Jim Cornette and Bill Watts.

I can't even call trying to associate WWE with Greg Hardy a stretch because that would be giving it too much credit. WAY WAY out there.

WWE has so much reliance on TV revenue I doubt they ever really go back to being edgy, certainly not to the excesses of the Attitude Era. It's a lot easier for them to get/keep sponsors now than it was during the Attitude Era despite the ratings being better back then. Plus they seem to put a huge emphasis on the Mattel deal which seems heavily predicated on them having a family friendly product.

Roman Reigns turning heel pretty much ruins what has made him one of the best big match workers in WWE over the last year. I don't think he'll be as good controlling the match on top as a heel as he's been fighting from underneath as a babyface. Plus there are no good babyface challengers left for him after an Ambrose feud which isn't going to even last that long because I don't see WWE looking at Ambrose as a guy to be in a WWE Title match at WrestleMania. Then you have heel Reigns vs. babyface Cena as your main event for WM or Reigns/Brock II which imo loses a lot of steam if Reigns is a heel.

Now is the perfect time to finally pull the trigger on giving Roman Reigns the belt. Even if it's just to hold it for a minute or two before Sheamus cashed in on him. I'm pretty sick of MITB but I DO want to see a Sheamus/Reigns feud because they would be an awesome pairing and I loved one of their Raw matches from a few months ago. I also think the stuff I keep reading everywhere about how they should copy Deadly Games and have Reigns align with The Authority is a terrible idea.
