Florida sends Corporal Kirchner to Continental for Tyree Pride

Florida releases Miguel Perez Jr. and hires Johnny Ace

Since you just took the only guy I really wanted.... Give me Mark Lauranitis, and I am out.

Lawler vs Idol is probably going to be a bloodbath, and I can't wait! Los Thunderfeet have arrived! Bruise Brothers head to the finals of the National Tag Title Tournament!! My Guys!! I'm going to assume that Priceless has a plan, and isn't just lazing away there chances of retaining the titles!! Curt Hennig is really embracing life as a bad guy. You love to see it! I think we are looking at the next big star of the AWA! The Idol/Bock/Dream Machine vs Lawler/Mulligan/Garvin 6 man on the house show would be worth the price of admission by itself! Holy shit, what a line up! The Rock and Roll's tie it up!! We are going to #7 at SuperClash! SuperClash is looking huge!! Can't wait to see it!!

So much happening here in MACW! Great promo from The Andersons! You have to know that they will be keeping an eye on whoever wins those U.S Tag Titles! Spivey is going to be a contender here soon. Huge win for the Vice team over the Powers! That has to give them momentum going in!! Though I have to think the Rockers or the Russians are the favorites! Fantastic giant brawl in the Luger/Link match! Gotta love it when the whole locker room clears out and it's just a giant cluster!! Did not see the Commonwealth taking home the gold!! Those guys having the U.S. Tag Titles will draw some HUGE heat!!

I am super happy you guys decided to put the title on Butch. He is a guy who I never thought much of as a kid cause I only ever saw his "Natural" run. Going back and seeing what I missed as an adult has turned me into a huge Reed fan. His arc in this game has absolutely made him worthy of this honor, and I hope he has a good, long run on top. Watts comes down hard with the suspensions, but Ernie Ladd looks to send quite the message with his payment! The RPM's messing with a Gibson is very interesting! Carl Fergie has an ass beating coming from somebody, and I am looking forward to it. The Anderson's show why they are the top name in tag team wrestling, and it looks like we might see some issues between Doc and Dibiase Quite a cluster in the main event! Dicky Murdoch pulls out the win and now we have friend vs friend for the NWA Title. We'll see how long that lasts!!

@kevinmcfl, you are up buddy! I think it's just you and I! and No Worries Rain. You spread some talent around!

Thank You! @spaldoni is up now!

Thank You Sir! @Autistic Dragon is up

Does @Den Scorpio know he is up?

I think he would have been Cheetah Kid at this point IIRC

WWE announcing the Survivor Series teams on Social Media. Team Raw includes Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, Kevin Owens, Rey Mysterio, and Dominic. Saw a fantastic reply that said "Nice of Rey to put aside that time Seth took his eye out of his head in the name of Brand Supremacy" What a fucking nonsensical company.

I'll take Vlad Petrov

(Taped on Wednesday November 3rd, 1986 and airing Saturday November 6th) Airing on.... and other great stations across the Southeastern United States.... From the Tampa Sportatorium, this is.... Let's head down to ringside, with the voice of Professional Wrestling... Mr. Gordon Solie Gordon Solie: Hello Ladies and Gentleman and welcome to Championship Wrestling from Florida. I am Gordon Solie, and we are coming off a stellar event this past weekend over in Lakeland that saw new Florida Tag Team Champions crowned, as well as plenty of other happenings that we will cover in this hour. Also on tap here today we will see the debut of an exciting, young athlete named Tom Zenk. The Glamour Boys will be joining us in tag team action. "General" Akbar and The Sheik will be bringing the Sheik's nephew Sabu in for action, and we'll certainly be speaking to Akbar who has much to answer for. Then we will see Texas Red make his debut here on television coming off of a wild brawl this past Sunday afternoon. Now, before we head to the action... Hello Gordy.... Did you miss me? Gordon Solie: I...uh...well... Ummm, Ladies and Gentleman, for those of you who don't know her, this is Woman. Does your being here mean that.... Woman: He's right beside you.... Solie turns to see the leather pants clad Man standing next to him. After a smirk and a wink from the big fella, a horrified looking Gordon quickly turns his attention back to Woman and he is shaking his head. Woman: Ohhhh..... You weren't talking about Man, were you Gordy? Gordon Solie: uhh.. No.. I meant....ummm... Woman: It's okay Gordy. You're at a loss for words. Many find themselves unable to understand the feelings stirring deep inside them when in the presence of...something else.... The lights in the Tampa Sportatorium drop to blackness. After several moments of silence, "Welcome to The Pleasuredome" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood begins to reverberate through the building and a purple light shines on the curtain. Then from behind the curtain emerges a figure wearing a purple cape with the word "Luscious" written across the back in gold. He then turns to reveal similarly colored tights and knee pads with white boots. Wearing a grin as the boo's come hot and heavy, "Luscious" Lanny Poffo saunters toward Woman, Man, and Gordon Solie. Gordon Solie: "Luscious" Lanny Poffo, welcome to Championship Wrestling from Florida. Lanny Poffo: Gordon Solie. It's only fitting that one such as myself comes to the land of sun, sand, and sex to ply my trade. When you last saw me I was being suffocated by all of the redneck, southern trash that call Alabama home, but now...here... I can finally erupt forth like a geyser and be all that "Luscious" Lanny Poffo is meant to be. So right now I am going to go get in that ring, and I want you to send this show to a little commercial break, and I want you to find someone in the back to come out here and wrestle me. Gordon Solie: I... Lanny Poffo: Oh, don't try to tell me you can't make it happen Gordon. You're a man with power around here, and we all love a man with power. Make it happen Gordon, or I'll think you don't like me anymore. You wouldn't want that would you Gordon? Would you? Gordon Solie: I'll uh... see what I can do... Lanny Poffo: Wonderful Gordon! Ta Ta for now! Poffo skips away toward the ring as the fan's boo him unmercifully. Man pats Gordon on the shoulder and winks at him, then Woman runs a finger across Gordon's cheek and heads toward the ring with a smile on her face. Solie looks annoyed as he gets up from his position and the show fades to commercial. -Commercial Break- =========================================================================================================== Match #1 -"Luscious" Lanny Poffo/Woman & Man beat Scott Reese by submission with the Painacle.- =========================================================================================================== Gordon Solie: Luscious Poffo picks up the win with the chicken wing cross face submission that he has dubbed the Painacle. I certainly wasn't expecting to see those three here today, but it would appear that they are now a part of the action here in Championship Wrestling from Florida. Now, before we move on, we need to go back to this past weekend in Lakeland and see some action from the tournament to crown the Florida Tag Team Champions. The first clip will be from the Semi-Final match between The Glamour Boys and The Highwaymen, and then we will show you a clip from the Finals. Let's go ahead and roll that footage. When Hickerson got back to his feet, Doll went after him again, but the referee got between them because Hickerson wasn't the legal man. As the ref was pushing Hickerson out of the ring, Duncum slid back in the ring and had removed his boot while he was on the floor! Doll turned around and Duncum blasted him between the eyes with the boot, tossed the evidence under the bottom rope, and covered Doll. The ref turned around and dropped down for the count, and Hickerson managed to get in and stop a still beat up Simpson from breaking up the pin, and The Highwaymen were going to the finals! The Highwaymen nodded at one another and exited the ring. Duncum shoved the time keeper out of his chair and took it. Hickerson meanwhile grabbed a chair from one of the security personnel seated at ringside. The boo's were coming hot and heavy as The Highwaymen re-entered the ring and both immediately started laying into the recovering Ray Candy with chairs. Hickerson laid a shot across the huge back of Candy, then Duncum clocked him right across the top of the head, and down he went. They then turned their attention to Sweet Brown Sugar who was pulling himself up using the ropes. As both of them reared back with their chairs, the boo's suddenly turned into loud cheers.... as Steve Doll and Steve Simpson hit the ring and each grabbed a chair that was raised above a Highwaymen head! The Glamour Boys yanked the chairs away from Duncum and Hickerson, and when The Highwaymen turned to see who had taken their chairs, Doll and Simpson both swing and blasted Duncum and Hickerson right in the head with a chair! The Highwaymen both went down in a heap, and The Glamour Boys took the chairs and headed back to the dressing room. Gordon Solie: Ladies and Gentleman, please welcome Steve Doll and Steve Simpson, The Glamour Boys! "Cum on Feel the Noize" by Quiet Riot plays as The Glamour Boys head out to a big ovation from the Sportatorium crowd. They are dressed to wrestle, but head over to Gordon first. Gordon Solie: Gentleman, we just saw the footage of what went down this past weekend during the tournament. If you would, I'd like to get your thoughts before you head into the ring for action. Steve Doll: Gordon, it's happened time and time again. We have The Highwaymen beat, we have them right where we want them, and they pull out some low down, dirty, cheating trick and they beat us. You saw it. He hit me right between the eyes with that cowboy boot and down I went. I'm sick of it! Steve Simpson: But when we saw them trying that same crap with Good and Plenty, we weren't going to let it happen! You guys might have cheated us out of those Tag Team Titles, but there was no way we were letting you win them! So while we don't condone cheating what so ever, I gotta tell you that it felt pretty good to smash them over the head with those steel chairs! Gordon Solie: Before you came out here I was informed that at our upcoming event at the Bayfront Center in St. Pete, the two of you will step into the ring with The Highwaymen again, only this time it will be a Best Two out of Three falls match. Your thoughts? Steve Doll: Duncum. Hickerson. We are done playing naive with you two. We are done being nice guys. Two out of Three falls, just means two opportunities to kick your butts! Steve Simpson: I couldn't have said it better myself. This thing between us and The Highwaymen is getting old, and when we beat them Two out of Three falls, we'll prove who the better team really is. Gordon Solie: Thank You Gentleman. =========================================================================================================== Match #2 -The Glamour Boys (Steve Doll/Steve Simpson) beat Jack Spade/Rick Cohen when Doll pinned Cohen after Glam, Slam, Thank You Ma'am.- =========================================================================================================== -Commercial Break- As the show returns from commercial, Gordon Solie looks like he is about to launch into the next segment when a bald man with a beard, wearing an expensive looking gray suit, and smoking a cigar walks onto the set and appears to be looking for something or someone. Following behind him is another larger man with black hair, a much thicker beard, who is wearing a black suit, black sunglasses, and is carrying a briefcase. Both men appear to be of Latin American descent. Gordon Solie: Uhh.. Excuse Me Sir, can I help you? Do you know where I can find Humperdink? Gordon Solie: I don't know where Oliver Humperdink is, but we are currently in the middle of a television show. I don't mind. Gordon Solie: Sir, you need to put that cigar out and get off of.... You need to watch your mouth old gringo, I don't think you know who you're talking too! The man in the suit and Gordon Solie are staring at one another for several tense moments, when "Sir" Oliver Humperdink and Los Cubanos come walking out from behind the curtain. Both Humperdink and Miguel Perez look confused, while Ricky Santana looks concerned. Oliver Humpderdink: I'm Oliver Humperdink! Who the heck are you? The man in the suit lights up with an obviously fake smile and extends his hand to Humperdink. Humperdink just stares at him, until the man shakes his head okay and pulls his hands back. I understand my friend. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jose Estrada, but everyone calls me "El Jefe", and the man behind me is my business associate Fidel. Oliver Humpderdink: Okay! Give me one reason I should care! Jose Estrada: How about I give you Ten Thousand. Estrada snaps his fingers and Fidel opens the briefcase revealing that it is full of money. Humperdink's eyes light up like a Christmas tree, and his whole demeanor gets much friendlier! Oliver Humpderdink: Hey! okay my friend! What's that for! Jose Estrada: I understand that as a manager, you hold the contracts for Ricky and Miguel. I would like to offer you this Ten Thousand Dollars for those contracts. Oliver Humpderdink: Ten Grand! For These Two Losers? SOLD!! Fidel snaps the briefcase shut and hands it to Humperdink. He quickly shakes hands with Estrada, grabs the briefcase and heads for the back without so much as looking at Ricky and Miguel. Estrada eyes the two men whose contracts he apparently just purchased and then cracks a big grin as he extends his hand to Ricky who looks relieved as he happily shakes it. Jose Estrada: For anyone out there who doesn't know, this right here.... "El Jefe" along with Fidel and Ricky is The Cartel. What that means, is bad news for anyone and everyone who gets in our way here in Florida. Let's go boys. Miguel Perez: What about me Jefe? Estrada turns and looks at Perez for a long moment, gives him an up and down appraisal and nods his head. Jose Estrada: You're right. I forgot all about you cabron. Fidel, Ricky.... break his arm. Miguel Perez: Wait.... What..... Ricky Santana quickly blindsides his former partner with a wicked forearm shot to the head that sends him crashing to the floor. Fidel quickly joins in on the beating, stomping on the fallen Perez as Santana goes to ringside and jerks the chair away from the timekeeper. Fidel drops several more stomps into the back of the head of Miguel, then reaches down and stretches out his arm. Santana arrives back on the scene and raises the chair high above his head before bringing it smashing down on the outstretched arm of Miguel Perez. Perez cries out in pain and clutches at his arm, as The Cartel walks away from the carnage, and Gordon Solie frantically signals for the show to go to break. -Commercial Break- Gordon Solie: Ladies and Gentleman, welcome back to Championship Wrestling from Florida. I'd like to take a moment and apologize for what we've just seen out here. Miguel Perez is on his way to the hospital, and looks to most likely be out of action for quite some time. Just a despicable act by this El Jefe Estrada and The Cartel or whatever they call themselves. I'm not sure exactly what is happening here today, first with Lanny Poffo and his band of oddballs showing up, and now this senseless attack. Moving on doesn't necessarily have things looking up either as we are set to be joined by "General" Akbar, The Sheik, and Sabu. Let's head down to the ring. =========================================================================================================== Match #3 -Sabu w/Skandor Akbar & The Sheik beat Howie Dewitt after a top rope legdrop followed by the Camel Clutch.- =========================================================================================================== Akbar congratulates Sheik and Sabu who head to the back, while Akbar heads over to join Gordon. Skandor Akbar: What did you think of that Gordon Solie! Gordon Solie: Sabu is certainly an impressive young athlete, that can't be denied. I understand that he will be taking on "Jumping" Joe Savoldi at our next big event in St. Petersburg. Skandor Akbar: and Jumping Joe will be just another victim. The sky is the limit for Sabu! Gordon Solie: That may indeed be the case. But right now "General" Akbar I'd like to ask you about... Skandor Akbar: Kazaharu defeating the Beach Bum? Ha! Ha! I figured you might. Gordon Solie: Well actually... Skandor Akbar: My Oriental Assassin has put down every man that has stepped in his path and will continue to do so. Did you see how quickly the Beach Bum went to sleep when Kazaharu locked on that Japanese Sleeper? Gordon Solie: It is a very dangerous hold, and it was an impressive victory. But Allen West is only a rookie, and.... Skandor Akbar: Don't make excuses Gordon Solie! I don't care if he was a rookie! He stepped into that ring with Kazaharu, and he was put down! Gordon Solie: He indeed was defeated. But what I'd really like to ask you about is you coming to the ring and costing "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan the chain match, and then leaving with Hercules Hernandez. Skandor Akbar: Solie, you fool. As always, you are telling half truths and spreading lies. While I did leave with Hercules Hernandez after he participated in the chain match, I can not be held responsible for the fact that Jim Duggan is an imbecile and tripped over his own feet. Just because I happened to be passing by that corner to get a better look at Hercules when it happened, everyone assumes I am responsible. Gordon Solie: Are you seriously trying to say that "Hacksaw" Duggan just happened to trip and fall when you were conveniently walking by him? Skandor Akbar: That is exactly what I'm saying Solie! If you take one look at the man you can plainly see that intelligence skipped a generation in his family! Is it that hard to believe that he stumbled over his own feet? If he hadn't already wrestled for several minutes before that point I would have assumed that his boot laces were tied together! Gordon Solie: This is ridiculous. Skandor Akbar: If you mean your allegations, indeed they are! Gordon Solie: We need to take a break. Thank You for your enlightening insight "General." Skandor Akbar: You'd best watch your tone Solie.... As the shows fades to commercial, Akbar is still ranting and Solie looks like he would rather be anywhere else. -Commercial Break- =========================================================================================================== Match #4 -Tom Zenk beat The Bounty Hunter with a picture perfect dropkick followed by a Sleeper Hold.- =========================================================================================================== Gordon Solie: An impressive debut here in Florida by one Tom Zenk who will be a part of our upcoming event in St. Petersburg. I'd like to take a moment right now and talk a little bit more about that event, because we have some very exciting news to share with you. The show will take place on November the Fourteenth and it will be at the Bayfront Center in St. Petersburg. On that night we are going to hold a very special match that they are calling "The Battle at the Bay" and in that match we are going to crowd the new Florida Heavyweight Champion. I don't have all of the details on what that match will entail, but I hope to have those for you next week. In the meantime, here is what I can tell you will take place at that event... The Highwaymen vs The Glamour Boys - Best Two out of Three Falls Sabu w/Skandor Akbar & The Sheik vs "Jumping" Joe Savoldi Hercules Hernandez, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Kazaharu, Tom Zenk, and a returning "Mr. Electricity" Steve Regal will be part of "The Battle at the Bay" As I said Ladies and Gentleman, we will have the full details on The Battle at the Bay next week, as well as more matches that will take place. Again, that will be at the Bayfront Center in St. Petersburg on Sunday afternoon November the Fourteenth with a 4pm bell time. Tickets go on sale at the box office this Monday morning. We'll be right back with our featured contest featuring the Florida television debut of Texas Red. Don't go anywhere! -Commercial Break- =========================================================================================================== Match #5 -Texas Red w/The Spoiler defeated Snake Brown with a Diving Elbowdrop.- =========================================================================================================== Gordon Solie: I am here with your winner Texas Red and The Spoiler. Gentleman, this past weekend you fought Matt Borne and Buzz Sawyer to a no contest. I can only assume that your business with those men is not finished. The Spoiler: You assume correctly Solie. If they think for a second that them trying to make a name at my expense is going to go unpunished, they have another thing coming. What happened last weekend is just a taste of the beating that we have in store for those two. We aren't done, not by a long shot. Texas Red: Sawyer. Borne. We're daring you to step in there with us again. But this time let's get rid of count outs, let's get rid of disqualifications, and let's make sure this fight goes until we are done fighting. What do you say boys? The Spoiler: You claim to be the toughest and the meanest. Time to put your money where your mouth is. We'll be in St. Petersburg waiting for a fight. If you two got an ounce of guts, we'll see you there. Spoiler and Red walk off to cheers and Solie slowly shakes his head. Gordon Solie: It certainly seems like we have a war brewing and it just might take place in St. Petersburg. That event is next Sunday, November the 14th at the Bayfront Center with a 4pm bell time. Tickets go on sale this Monday morning when the box office opens. We will crown the new Florida Heavyweight Champion on the show, and as we just heard, it appears we will have a war with no rules. You won't want to miss it. You also won't want to miss this show next Saturday as we will have the South Pacific Islanders in tag team action. "Hollywood" John Tatum in singles action, and Ladies and Gentleman listen to this. Joining us right here in competition at the Tampa Sportatorium will be the former two time World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Champion, Bob Backlund! What is he doing in Championship Wrestling from Florida? You are going to have tune in next week to find out! Until then, this is Gordon Solie saying So Long from the Sunshine State!

That my friend is a damn good question.

But....but......It's the only time of year where Raw and Smackdown go head to head in competition~! #BuzzWords #WWEUniverse #IfWeKeepSayingIt #ItMustBeTrue #TribalChief

I would add Biff Busick (Oney Lorcan) to that list, but otherwise couldn't agree more Keith, Mia, Ember, Lorcan, Metalik and leave the rest alone!!!

It looks like Rusev defeated Daniel Bryan in a Money in the Bank qualifying match in 2018

I am so torn on this potential Andrade, Black, FTR alliance. On one hand, I really like all of them. But on the other hand, it comes off as "Let's just throw the WWE/NXT guys together." Obviously the Pinnacle isn't really necessary anymore, so FTR moving on is needed. I just hope if they do it, they make it more than "these guys used to work together elsewhere" as the motivation.

Not to take this thread off topic, but I have always wondered about this "Top 500 of the PWI Years" list. Was this something that was released in magazine form like the other 500's? Was this something done on the PWI website? I always see it quoted on Wikipedia pages and other places, and have just always wondered where this list originated.

Well.... I didn't see that coming..... The Slick Stable with Buddy, Dutch, and the #1 Contenders of Robert and Jimmy.... Shit. Continental is in a LOT of trouble!

Florida trades Rick Vaughn (Lance Von Erich) to Continental for Tom Zenk

Great tournament for the Southeastern Title! Olympia is the right choice for the winner. Glad to see him back on the babyface side. He just feels right there. Tommy Rich turning on his cousins was something I didn't see coming. The "fake ass cousins" line popped me. Moving onto this weeks TV.... I'm going to need a status update on the health of Al Madril ASAP!! The Exotic Garden with Tommy Rich.... this has the potential to be the greatest segment of all time. "Bob Caudle did the play by play when David fought Goliath" LMFAO Dundee and Dutch pick up a quick victory, and announce a #1 Contenders Match against the Stable. Oh Shit... Slick and The Stud Stable may be my new favorite thing. Between the colorful suit and Leroy, this shit is fantastic. I'll be interested to see if Robert's position changes if they start winning. The Grappler back in singles competition! Nice! Nice wins for Brad and the Super D's and as expected the Exotic Garden more than delivered!! We got answers to some questions that needed answered. We got some wonderful tension between Rich and Street. We got the "ello Linda" that popped me cause I could just hear the cockney accent. and we got the "I'd rather car pool with Magnum TA" line that had me laughing out loud at work and getting funny looks! Oh Shit, the extra crispy line got me too! Great segment between Slick and Landel! Big win for Taylor against the Stomper to close the show!!

and we start things off on a bad note as Cracky the Crack Head sings the National Anthem! Good Lord! What a First Round!! Savage stuns Jake with a roll up. Tully cheats to beat Harley, which will not go unavenged! My Boy Tommy Rich outsmarts Rocky Johnson. Olympia beats Armstrong in a friendly encounter. Nikita destroys Taylor with the Sickle! Murdoch and Bad News are out, someone is getting a Bye! Reed beats Dibiase in what I can only assume was a classic. and Flair has to cheat to beat Landel.... Boo!!! Starrcade is coming on Thanksgiving! Nice! Savage and Tully go to a Double C.O.... Someone is going right to the finals!! Tommy Rich beats Olympia! Oh, I hope he is getting the Bye!!! Nikita gets a Bye, and that's bad news for whoever gets him fresh. REED BEATS FLAIR!!! Holy Shit!! Go Butch!! Embry gets one over on Brown with a little help from his friends! Reed manages to get past Koloff, but he has had one hell of a road to the finals... While Tommy Rich endears himself to the crowd! Come On Tommy!! Wildfire can ride again!! YEAH!! The Andersons bring home the NWA World Tag Team Titles!! Doc and Dibiase have a miscue, and that's all she wrote!! Magnum T.A. Driving School t-shirt is wonderful!! It's been a long time coming, and as much as I love me some Tommy Rich, this moment had to be his. Butch Reed becomes the Heavyweight Champion of the World! Great Job Gentleman! Well thought out tournament, perfect choice for champion. Looking forward to seeing what you all come up with for Starrcade!

Great Job building up Link before he ever steps in the ring. Fantastic Savage promo. Definitely could hear the whole thing in his growl! Anderson's pointing out the flaw in Dibiase and Doc's plan of competing in the tournament AND defending the Tag Titles. You may not like them, but they aren't wrong! Jake Roberts makes a very intriguing and very dangerous final entrant into the NWA Title Tournament. Great Show! Gotta go check out Halloween Havoc now!!
