No Worries. I got stuck working the early shift on Thanksgiving this year and was bored to tears, so I figured I would do something productive and save people some time and math!

I think Horus lives in California. Bandido and Flamita are both from and live in Mexico.

In answer to @joeg, I think it would be more that MLW, ROH, and Impact all have TV for whatever it's worth, so they structure their contracts so that their talent can't appear on another companies TV. I think they are free to work anywhere else they want those other 325 days, so long as it isn't televised.

Dynamite Duo pick up a nice win to start the show, but the Sawyers get a nice head start heading into the Dog Collar match on Thanksgiving. That should be a wild bloodbath! The Southern Street Fight should be another nasty brawl! I hope Bob Armstrong has a better game plan this time, because his last few encounters with the Ugandan haven't went so well! The celebration of Mr. Money's big victory was perfect! I can just picture all of the heels whooping it up in the hotel room in the most insincere way possible. The bottle of champagne was a wonderful touch! Lance picks up a nice win here in Twin States. Platinum Club cheats their way to a big victory over Cooley and The Armstrongs! Didn't expect this result at all! That result leads to Embry vs Steve Armstrong for the Junior Title at Thanksgiving Thunder, and that should be a fun match. Mr. Olympia picks up a nice win over the Humongous, and the masked man has been nothing short of impressive since his return to Twin States. Say what you will about Garvin, but he held up his end of the deal in that tag team match and they picked up the win. He waited until after the match to stake his claim on the bounty, so fair play to Jimmy! The Thanksgiving Thunder card is looking awesome! Excited to see a couple of All Star teams in the battle royal! Blondes vs Brisco/Valiant should be an interesting clash of styles. The Olympia/Stomper rematch is interesting, cause last time Stomper didn't know who he was getting. Will time to prepare give us a different result? Great stuff as always dude! Looking forward to Thursday!

Nice wins for the Dragons and the D.D. to open the show, but the "investigation" into the CEO's is interesting. Excited to see where it is leading. Loved the interview segment between Thornton and SBS. Not everything in wrestling needs to be two angry dudes yelling at each other. This was a perfect example of two cool, calm, and collected men speaking their truth. Great stuff! Oh Lord, the Vin Man has a Posse Myers and Flowers "mutual respect" was fantastic and I could almost hear the fans booing! The Bruise Brothers are my pick for the Tournament. There are so many great teams, but if I were a betting man, that's where my money would go. Another week, another fantastic Terry Funk promo. "If he gets up and hops, I'll break his other leg" is a fucking great line! The Ripper Morgan gimmick is fantastic. I hope he beats Ayala half to death! Oh Shit! 20 grand vs DJ leaving the USWA!! The Morrow/Peterson match just got some huge implications!! DJ is one of my favorites, but you have made Champagne one of the best gimmicks in the game. I can't wait to see how this goes. Karachi Vice are mad after The Gunslingers beat them, and it should make the WrestleStorm match all the more intense. Looking forward to it! Well Spaldoni, if this game had a winner, I would officially call you it. You just made me enjoy a Greg Gagne promo. It must be freezing in hell. I have to tell you that I'm shocked that your 6 man main event ended up in chaos! I thought for sure that those 6 guys would have a technical classic! In all seriousness, those two feuds are going to produce two awesome brawls and WrestleStorm, and I can't wait!! Excited to see who comes out of the Turkey Day Tag Tournament with the win, cause your tag division is ridiculously stacked!!! Even more excited for WrestleStorm. That card is stacked from top to bottom.

(Taped on Monday November 16th, 1985 and airing Friday Night November 20th) From the beautiful Will Rogers Complex in Fort Worth. This is.... featuring the worlds greatest professional wrestlers from... We cut to ringside where Marc Lowrance is standing by with a microphone. Marc Lowrance: Hello Everyone! Welcome to the Will Rogers Coliseum and to Championship Sports. We are here on KTVT for another exciting edition of Texas All Star Wrestling! I am your host Marc Lowrance, and after the events of last week, we are going to get things started with a bang here tonight as Cocoa Samoa and "El Jefe" Jose Estrada are set to go one on one in our opening contest. There is a lot of bad blood between these two men, so without further adieu, let's head to the ring!! 1 Fall, 30 Minute Time Limit -"El Jefe" Jose Estrada vs Cocoa Samoa- The tension was high as the ring introductions were being made. Samoa was pacing in his corner, as Estrada arrogantly removed his vest and jewelry, all while puffing on his cigar. Then Estrada took the cigar out of his mouth, closed one eye, and started mocking the Indian war dance of Joe Lightfoot which brought Cocoa Samoa out of his corner in a flash. Things almost went badly as Estrada tried to use the lit cigar as a weapon, but fortunately the referee was able to corral Cocoa before he could get to Estrada, or Estrada could burn him. Once the cigar was out of the ring, and Samoa was back to his corner, the bell rang. This was a vicious battle from the beginning as Samoa opened the match with a brutal headbutt that opened Estrada up just over the eyebrow. Cocoa didn't let up, attacking El Jefe with thunderous chops, more headbutts, and a back suplex that folded Estrada nearly in half. Samoa probably could have ended the match then and there, but seemed intent to inflict more damage. This allowed Estrada to jam his fingers into the eyes of Samoa, and take a powder to the floor. The referee had nearly reached ten when Samoa recovered sufficiently to chase Estrada out of the ring, where Jose was waiting and suckered Cocoa into charging him. Estrada executed a perfect drop toe hold that sent Cocoa crashing face first into the timekeepers table. Estrada rolled quickly into the ring to break the count, then back out, where he pulled a now bleeding Cocoa to his feet, then smashed him hard into the table again before tossing him back into the ring. Estrada then went to work just trying to punch and stomp the life out of Samoa, abandoning all facade of a wrestling match. Estrada took a moment to raise his fist that was covered in the blood of Samoa in the air for the people to see, and was greeted with a round of boos from the crowd at the Will Rogers Coliseum. Then a smirk formed on the face of El Jefe and he headed over to the ropes and leaned out of the ring, rummaging for something on the timekeepers table. When he stood up, he was holding the ring bell! Before he could take even a step, the referee was in his face trying to take the bell away from him, but Estrada sneered and pie faced the referee to the mat!! As Estrada turned his attention back to Samoa, he was shocked to see the bloody Samoan standing directly in front of him! Cocoa let out a war cry and blasted Estrada with another huge headbutt that sent El Jefe crashing into the turnbuckles, the bell falling from his hands. Cocoa looked down and saw the ring bell laying at his feet, and slowly reached down to pick it up as the crowd roared. Cocoa reached out and grabbed the throat of Estrada with one hand, and raised the bell above his head, ready to bring it crashing down on the head of El Jefe, but the referee back on his feet grabbed the arm of Cocoa Samoa. Samoa let go of Estrada, turned around and blasted the referee with a headbutt!! As the ref crashed to the canvas, Cocoa turned back toward Estrada, who lashed out and kicked Samoa hard in the balls, causing Cocoa to drop right next to the referee. Estrada dropped down on his knees and was fumbling for something on the timekeepers table again. This time he came up with his cigar and a Zippo lighter. Estrada put the cigar in his mouth and lit it, then exhaled a big plume of smoke, and let a big smile come across his bloody features. Estrada crawled over to the prone form of Samoa, and as the crowd gasped in horror tried to put the cigar in the face of Cocoa, but at the last moment Samoa was able to grab his wrist!! A struggle began as Estrada tried to push the cigar down into his face, and Samoa tried to stop him. Soon a herd of security, referees, and officials charged the ring and Estrada was pulled off of Samoa, and when Samoa was back to his feet and trying to attack Estrada, he was restrained. Everything was chaos as both men continued to try and attack the other repeatedly. This Match is a No Contest -Commercial Break- As the show returns from commercial, Jose Estrada is nowhere to be seen. Cocoa Samoa is being led out by a large group of people and he looks angrier than we have probably ever seen him. In the ring the referee that was assaulted twice is being tended too by medical personnel. The camera then cuts to Marc Lowrance who is standing by with Jeff Gaylord. Marc Lowrance: Ladies and Gentleman, I am told that Jose Estrada has been removed from the building to prevent any further escalation of this already volatile situation. Cocoa Samoa is not the type of man to strike an official, but in the heat of the moment, he unfortunately headbutted the referee, who is being attended too. I am certain that the Texas All Star Board of Directors and Frank Dusek will have plenty to say about this situation, but in the meantime, we are going to try and get things back on track here tonight. Right now, joining me for a special interview is "The Missouri Tiger" Jeff Gaylord. Jeff, two weeks ago Jack Victory cheated to defeat you in the opening round of the Texas Television Title tournament. Up until that point you had been undefeated in singles competition here in Texas All Star Wrestling. Your thoughts on what happened that night. Jeff Gaylord: You know what Marc. I think that Jack Victory is a no good, low down, dirty.... As Jeff Gaylord is talking, "Iron" Mike Sharpe comes stomping out from the back with a sour look on his face. He comes right up to where the interview is being conducted and interrupts. Mike Sharpe: HEY! HEY! HEY! Why is it every time I have a match, you have this guy out here being interviewed? Jeff Gaylord: Sharpe, I told you last time, you'd better watch it. Mike Sharpe: If they want to talk to someone about the Television Title, they should talk to me. At least I'm still in the tournament! Jeff Gaylord: Sharpe, I am not going to..... Gaylord is cut off as Sharpe slaps him hard across the face! After what just went down, security must have been on high alert, because Gaylord doesn't even have time to retaliate before several people are between him and "Iron" Mike. Sharpe just laughs and heads for the back as Gaylord looks pissed and gets escorted to the dressing room. Marc Lowrance: Ladies and Gentleman, it looks like it is going to be one of those nights! Don't go anywhere!! -Commercial Break- 1 Fall, 10 Minute Time Limit -Johnny Mantell w/Sunshine vs The Bounty Hunter- Having finally recovered from the neck injury that was bothering him from the inception of Texas All Star Wrestling, Johnny Mantell made his return to the ring here tonight. In the six weeks he had been gone, apart from growing out his hair and letting a full beard come in instead of his usual mustache, you could tell that Mantell had been really hitting the gym. He looked on point against his masked opponent, breaking the bigger man down with a combination of brawling and technique, before finally nailing him with a Russian Leg Sweep and floating over to secure the One, Two, Three. Winner: Johnny Mantell Frank Dusek comes from the back and to ringside where Marc Lowrance is standing by with Johnny Mantell and Sunshine. Marc Lowrance: I'd like to welcome the winner of our last contest, Johnny Mantell along with the lovely Sunshine. Also joining us is the commissioner of Texas All Star Wrestling, Mr. Frank Dusek. Frank? Frank Dusek: Thank You Marc. Johnny, Sunshine, I know after your win tonight and after the events of last week you both probably have a lot to say, but I figured you might actually be more interested in what I have to tell you. The Texas All Star Board of Directors have come to their decision, and they have chosen you, Johnny Mantell as the man to challenge whoever the USWA World Heavyweight Champion is at the upcoming Seasons Beatings event on December Eighteenth at the Tarrant County Convention Center. Mantell and Sunshine are both momentarily stunned at the news, then Sunshine pats Mantell on the back as a huge smile crosses his face. He reaches out and shakes the hand of Frank Dusek. Johnny Mantell: I promise you Mr. Dusek, the Board of Directors, and all of these fans that I will give everything I have that night to bring the USWA World Title home to Texas. That's awesome news! Mantell turns to Sunshine and the two of them are ecstatic as they head for the dressing room. Marc Lowrance: That's a huge announcement Frank! Frank Dusek: I'm not done Marc! Not only are we going to see Mantell challenge the USWA Champion that night, but we are going to see his partner Scott Casey defend the Texas Heavyweight Title against Dory Funk Jr. Those two proud Texans want to fight it out so bad, we'll let them fight for the top prize in Texas. Marc Lowrance: That is quite the double main event for sure! Frank Dusek: I would like to make note that I said the Texas Heavyweight Title. From this point forward, while we are still Texas All Star Wrestling the titles will be referred to simply as the Texas Heavyweight Title and the Texas Tag Team Titles. Those were the names that carried a lot of weight in this area for a lot of years, but when we first began promoting Texas All Star, those names were being used down in Houston. They've closed up shop down there, so we are very happy to bring them home to the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Because while we aren't World Class, we certainly want to carry on the tradition of wrestling in Texas that has been part of the Metroplex for nearly fifty years. After the massive applause from the crowd dies down, Dusek continues. Frank Dusek: Thank You Ladies and Gentleman. Thank You Marc. Before I go, I have one final announcement to make. Last week Tom Jones and The Spoiler couldn't wait to get their hands on one another, so next week in our main event we are going to let them fight. Thanks Again Everyone, Enjoy the rest of the show. -Commercial Break- Marc Lowrance: Welcome back to Texas All Star Wrestling on KTVT. Before the break we heard several big announcements from Frank Dusek including Johnny Mantell challenging for the USWA World Championship on December Eighteenth at Seasons Beatings. On the same night Scott Casey will defend the newly rechristened Texas Heavyweight Title against Dory Funk Jr. What an event that is shaping up to be. Right now, let's head to the ring where the dastardly duo of "Mean" Mike Miller and "Killer" Tim Brooks are set for action. 1 Fall, 10 Minute Time Limit -"Mean" Mike Miller/"Killer" Tim Brooks vs Mike Reed/Mike Bond- Miller and Brooks looked quite the pair as they came to the ring in new leather vests, one with the word MEAN worked across the back, the other of course said KILLER. They had some fun with their opponents tonight, taking turns roughing up Reed, before tossing him in the corner so that Bond could tag himself in. Then Bond got a lot of the same treatment, as Brooks and Miller took turns just beating him up before Brooks finally came off the top with a Diving Knee Drop and covered for the One, Two, Three. Winners: "Mean" Mike Miller and "Killer" Tim Brooks Marc Lowrance: Ladies and Gentleman, I am standing by with your winners... Killer Brooks: You are standing by with the men who ran Black Bart out of Texas like a gutless, yellow dog! Ha! Ha! Ha! Mike Miller: Ever since the Devil's Night when I tossed Bart off of that cage, it's been so nice and quiet around here hasn't it Marc Lowrance? Marc Lowrance: Well.. Mike Miller: It sure has, because that loudmouth is somewhere licking his wounds, and he knows if he shows his face back here in Texas All Star, that me and the Killer are gonna..... Miller never gets to finish that thought as Black Bart barrels into him like a locomotive! Marc Lowrance is leaping for safety as Bart's black cowboy hat fly's off his head, and his black duster coat is a swirl of motion as he drags Miller to the ground and begins blasting him with lefts and rights! Killer Brooks is momentarily stunned, then when he finally starts to react a second man takes hold of him, spins him around, and starts peppering him with right hands. This man is dressed in a tan duster and a brown cowboy hat. He is no stranger to the Texas scene, but the fans certainly aren't used to cheering for him! Security, referees, and officials quickly arrive on the scene and begin pulling the four men apart. As the show is moments away from going to commercial, Marc Lowrance gets back to the announce position. Marc Lowrance: Chaos has erupted at ringside again! Black Bart has come looking for revenge on Mike Miller and Killer Brooks! But he hasn't come alone!! That's "Wild" Bill Irwin!!! -Commercial Break- Marc Lowrance: Welcome back to Texas All Star Wrestling on KTVT! Just before the break we saw Black Bart make his first appearance since the night before Halloween when Mike Miller turned his back on him and allied with Killer Tim Brooks. But Bart didn't come alone, arriving with "Wild" Bill Irwin at his side! A man who is no stranger to this area, Irwin adds another dangerous element to this already volatile situation. Switching gears, it is now time for the third match in our tournament for the Texas Television Title. Tonight we will see "Iron" Mike Sharpe take on The Texas Ranger in what should be a great match. Let's head down to the ring. 1 Fall, 30 Minute Time Limit -"Iron" Mike Sharpe vs The Texas Ranger- This was back and forth from the opening bell, with neither man seemingly able to gain an advantage for the first part of the match. The Ranger finally caught Sharpe with a picture perfect dropkick just before the ten minute mark that sent "Iron" Mike to the floor, but Sharpe did what he does and worked the full extent of the referee's count before getting back into the ring, thus killing any momentum for The Texas Ranger. It was a stalemate again for a bit, and then Sharpe was able to take control and began working on the back of the masked man for several minutes. Eventually Sharpe went for his Canadian Backbreaker, but The Texas Ranger slipped out of the move. Sharpe turned around and charged him, but The Ranger dropped down while holding the top rope and Sharpe sailed out of the ring. Again, Sharpe looked to take full advantage of the count, only this time Jeff Gaylord came from the back and started yelling at Sharpe. Sharpe went up and got in Gaylord's face after the skirmish earlier, and forgot all about the count. Winner, by Count Out: The Texas Ranger As the bell rings signalling the end of the match, Sharpe spins around to stare at the ring and see's the referee raising the hand of The Texas Ranger. His eyes grow wide, and he spins back around to see Jeff Gaylord with a huge smile on his face. Sharpe totally loses his shit and takes a big swing at Gaylord, who ducks it, scoops Sharpe up and gives him a big atomic drop. Gaylord heads for the back as The Texas Ranger celebrates his victory and Sharpe prances around like he has to poop! Marc Lowrance: Ladies and Gentleman, The Texas Ranger has advanced in the tournament for the Texas Television Title after "Iron" Mike Sharpe was outsmarted by Jeff Gaylord. We still have time left in the program, so let's take a quick break, and when we return I will have an interview with a new tag team that has arrived here in Texas All Star Wrestling. Don't go anywhere. -Commercial Break- When we return Marc Lowrance is standing ringside with two men wearing Native American attire. Marc Lowrance: Ladies and Gentleman, please join me in welcoming to Texas All Star Wrestling, Mark and Chris Youngblood, The Tribal Nation. Mark Youngblood: Thank You Marc. You know, my brother Jay and I were here in Texas last year as part of World Class and although we were close several times we never managed to bring home those Tag Team Titles. We'd often talked about returning here one day to accomplish that, but then a little over two months ago Jay made his final journey to the spirit world. So now my younger brother Chris and I have come to make that vision a reality. Marc Lowrance: Chris, do you feel..... From the dressing room come Bobby Duncum and Phil Hickerson, The Highwaymen with the Texas Tag Team Titles slung over their shoulders. The Youngbloods take up fighting positions, but Hickerson waves them off. Phil Hickerson: We didn't come out here to fight you Chief. We came out here to tell you that if you want to fight for these belts, you need to beat someone first. You can have all the visions of your dead brother that you want, but until you get some wins they don't mean squat! Bobby Duncum: That's right boys! They don't mean nuthin! Ya Unnastan? The Highwaymen turn and start walking away shaking their heads, until.... Chris Youngblood: We understand. We understand that you don't think you can beat us. That brings The Highwaymen right back to the interview Phil Hickerson: Son, we're the Texas Tag Team Champions for a reason. We'd send you two crying back to your teepee's in less than five minutes. Chris Youngblood: Prove It Fat Boy!! Chris Youngblood slaps Phil Hickerson across the face before sliding into the ring. His brother Mark quickly joins him, leaving The Highwaymen standing on the floor. Hickerson wipes at his face as his expression changes from shock to anger. He shoves his title belt at Marc Lowrance.... Phil Hickerson: Ring the damn bell.... 1 Fall, TV Time Remaining -The Highwaymen (Bobby Duncum/Phil Hickerson) vs The Tribal Nation (Mark Youngblood/Chris Youngblood)- Texas Tag Team Titles Hickerson and Duncum charge recklessly into the ring to assault The Youngbloods and are met with a pair of blistering chops. Mark and Chris open up on The Highwaymen, just blistering them with chop after chop until finally a referee makes it into the ring to make the match official, and get one man from each team out of the ring. Chris is left in the ring with Hickerson and he just continues to alternate between blistering knife edges to the chest and tomahawk chops to the top of the head. 6 Minutes Remain in the TV Time Limit Youngblood sends Hickerson into the ropes, and the youngster makes a mistake, ducking his head for a backdrop to early and gets kicked in the chest. Hickerson tags in Duncum and they nail Chris with a double shoulderblock. Duncum picks up Chris Youngblood and plants him with a bodyslam, followed by a big elbow drop that gets a count of two. Duncum sends Youngblood into the buckle and charges in with a big clothesline. 5 Minutes Remain in the TV Time Limit Duncum pulls Youngblood out by the hair and whips him into the ropes. Duncum goes for a clothesline, but Chris ducks under it! Youngblood catches him with a crossbody, but Duncum kicks out at only one! Youngblood rolls off and comes up near his corner, where he tags in his brother. Mark Youngblood hits the ring and starts firing off chop after chop while doing a war dance. Duncum manages to stay standing for the first few, but a third chop levels him. Hickerson rushes into the ring, and he eats a huge dropkick for his effort! Duncum then gets a dropkick of his own! 4 Minutes Remain in the TV Time Limit Mark pulls Duncum to his feet by the hair and hooks him for a suplex, but he can't get the big man over. Duncum quickly knees Youngblood in the guts, then takes him over with a big bodyslam. Duncum tags in Hickerson and the two of them stomp the fallen Youngblood until the referee pushes Duncum out of the ring. Hickerson wastes no time pulling Mark to his feet, hooks him and takes him over with a suplex. He covers, but Mark is able to kick out at two. Hickerson gets back up and yanks Mark to his feet again. 3 Minutes Remain in the TV Time Limit Hickerson hooks Mark for his patented DDT, but takes a moment to raise his other arm in the air, which allows Youngblood to reach down and sweep his legs out. Mark collapses to the mat, but after a moment begins to crawl toward his brother as the fans in the Will Rogers Coliseum go crazy. Unfortunately for them, Hickerson is back to his feet fairly quickly and stops Mark from reaching the corner with a well timed elbow drop. Hickerson pulls Youngblood to his feet and just a few feet from his corner, slaps on a sleeper hold. 2 Minutes Remain in the TV Time Limit Chris Youngblood is clapping and stomping like crazy, willing his brother back into the match, but Hickerson has the sleeper hold sunk in deep. Mark sinks to the mat with Hickerson still on top of him, and the referee comes to check the arm. He lifts it once, it falls. Twice, it falls. A third time...IT'S UP!!! Mark Youngblood begins to shake like a wild man as the crowd goes ape shit and he makes it back to his feet and fires several elbows into the mid section of Hickerson. He then manages to spin him around and drive him back first into the turnbuckle, causing him to release the hold. 1 Minute Remains in the TV Time Limit This also happened to be the corner where his brother Chris was standing, so Mark held up his hand, and Chris tagged in to the match!! Chris Youngblood came in and blasted Phil Hickerson with rights and lefts in the corner, and then a big chop to the chest, and one to the head. Then like he had eyes in the back of his head, he ducked out of the way as Bobby Duncum came charging at him, causing Duncum to crash into his own partner!! Chris Youngblood then charged in and clotheslined Bobby Duncum over the top rope and to the floor, while Phil Hickerson staggered out of the corner. Chris Youngblood then scaled the top rope and dove off with a Flying Tomahawk Chop that caught Phil Hickerson right between the eyes!! Hickerson fell over like a mighty oak tree, and Chris Youngblood covered him for the... One... Two... THREE!!! Winners, and NEW TEXAS TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!!: The Tribal Nation of Mark Youngblood and Chris Youngblood Marc Lowrance: Oh My Goodness!!! The Youngbloods have beaten The Highwaymen!! We have NEW Texas Tag Team Champions!! We have seconds left! Ladies and Gentleman, be sure to tune in next week, right here on KTVT!! The Youngbloods!! The show goes off the air with Chris Youngblood helping his brother Mark stand in the center of the ring, both men holding the Texas Tag Team Titles aloft, while The Highwaymen were sitting on the floor outside of the ring with looks of absolute shock on their faces.

Billy Gunn is much taller than 6'3" I ring announced several shows he was on. I am six foot on the dot, and he dwarfed my ass.

I've tried to ignore the dumb shit that JR has said and chalk it up to him being an out of touch, old, country boy, but good lord, this was glaring. Here they are trying to push their inclusive wrestling community for women where they don't have to feel like creepy dudes will pester them, and this comes out of his mouth. Yikes

The new rapping guy asking D3 why he was named after a Mighty Ducks movie got a legit laugh out of me.

These are good idea's for Drew vs Roman, but I just don't feel safe assuming they have that kind of thought going into booking for next year when they likely have no idea what is happening on Smackdown this week.

I'm good with it

Texas All Star sends Bob Roop to MACW for Bill Irwin

I hope RPG gets to check his car at intermission and we get an update.... Jarrett laying down the law and making Bullet defend the Gulf Coast title. A 25 man battle royal is a hell of a way to start off the new format show!! Good Lord...Kamala, Big Bubba, and The Humongous dominated the ending of that thing! Kamala gets the huge win, and if Armstrong is smart, he'll just go ahead and forfeit the title now! Wait, what have we here.... Mr. Money has purchased the rights to the title shot!! I love it! You are going to have so much fun with this gimmick! "I got a phone call from a friend of mine named Jack Victory, he said "Hey Luscious Donnie", he's terrible with names but a great wrestler and a great judge of talent"..... I'm fucking dying over here. Tremendous!! Then calling Dusek a mongoloid goof was the icing on the cake. The Platinum Club has arrived! This stable is already amazing, and I can't wait to see who else they have coming!! Dynamite Duo vs The Sawyers in a Double Dog Collar, Loser Leaves Town match on Thanksgiving!! Holy Crap, that's gonna be a war!! Really glad to see Mr. Olympia back in his natural stomping grounds. Seems like he has two tough matches coming up though. First the Humongous, then a rematch with the Stomper. Yikes! Rough road for the new champ. Jimmy Garvin and Blackjack Mulligan may be the unlikeliest pairing I have ever heard of, but it should make for one hell of a tag team match against Fuller and Golden!! YES!! Kamala takes out Armstrong before the match..... Mr. Money Wins!! New Champ!! Love It!! Liking the new arena format Gene. Glad to see some Texas folks show up in Twin States. Great stuff as always!!

I was just kidding around, making a joke about having the wrong Morton and Gibson.

Right off the bat we get big news as the Twin States Tag Titles will be on the line at WrestleStorm!! Really looking forward to the Thanksgiving Tag Team Tournament. Goldie and The Devil's Duo will definitely be a hard team to beat, but there are so many good teams involved. Boo Ayala! I hope Ripper Morgan tears him apart at WrestleStorm! Those Colon and Singh promo's would certainly sell a load of tickets as the fans would be clamoring to see the level of violence they are going to bring!! Mike George gets a new nickname, but more importantly, he finally got some back up!! I can't wait to see who they are!!! Big Schmozz during the Afi/Markoff match. I like it!! Where is Teddy Long to make this a tag team match playa!! Holla Holla! Oh Shit..... Dream Machine just tarred and feathered Dick Slater. Wow. Slater is going to fucking kill him. I can't wait!! Ha Ha Ha!! Another wonderful segment with Uncle Terry! This cage match is going to be epic, and I don't use that word often. Lawler seems confident, and I know he can hold his own, but Terry is going to be a wild man at WrestleStorm! Rich's pick themselves up a win, but here come Oliver and Borne! Though Borne with an axe handle gives me bad early 90's WCW vibes! Anyway, I am loving these 4 going at it, and I can't wait for the 4 way bloodbath that is destined to happen. Sweet Brown Sugar vs Tony St. Clair is going to be a great match for the TV Title, but I just can't see the Brit's death grip on that belt ending quite yet. Well look at that! The same night Mantell makes his taped return in Texas, The Gunslingers show up on USWA TV!!! Amazing how that worked out!! Love the angle of them getting the quick win over the champs on TV. The match at WrestleStorm should be a great one. I'll be pulling for my boys!! That WrestleStorm card is STACKED! Gonna be a great show. Awesome as always Spaldoni!

Hey @rainmakerrtv, here is your chance! Hire Ricky Gibson to team with Todd Morton as like the Rock and Roll Rockers or something!!

(Taped on Monday November 9th, 1985 and airing Friday Night November 13th) From the beautiful Will Rogers Complex in Fort Worth. This is.... Ninety minutes of ringside excitement featuring the worlds greatest professional wrestlers from... We cut to ringside where Marc Lowrance is standing by with a microphone. Marc Lowrance: Hello Everyone! Welcome to the Will Rogers Coliseum and to Championship Sports. We are here on KTVT for another exciting edition of Texas All Star Wrestling! I am your host Marc Lowrance, and we have quite an exciting night of action here for you tonight! In our main event Scott Casey will defend the All Star Heavyweight Title against "El Jefe" Jose Estrada. The Spoiler will be in action tonight. "Mr. Ebony" Tom Jones will compete in that ring. We will see the debut of "Hollywood" John Tatum, and right now our very first match tonight will be part of our tournament for the newly commissioned Texas Television Title as Brian Adias takes on Alexis Smirnoff! Let's head down to the ring!! 1 Fall, 30 Minute Time Limit -"The Russian Hammer" Alexis Smirnoff vs Brian Adias- Adias tried to start this one off fast and furious, but Smirnoff was having none of it attempting to grind things to a halt every chance he got. It would be Smirnoff who got his way in the early going as he ground down on Adias with his size advantage using holds like the bear hug and a simple rear chinlock. The Fort Worth crowd was 100% behind Adias though, willing him out of each hold and finally after several long minutes back into control of the match. Adias rocked the big Russian with rights and lefts that had him wobbling, and then a huge dropkick took him off his feet. Adias headed up top and hit a beautiful flying cross body that somehow only got two, but he followed up with ironically a Russian Leg Sweep for the One, Two, Three! Winner: Brian Adias in 10:29 Marc Lowrance: Brian Adias picks up the hard fought victory and advances in the Texas Television Title tournament! He will go on to meet Jack Victory who won his match last week in the second round. Speaking of Mr. Victory, he was asked to appear tonight to comment on his win last week, but he has declined to appear on Texas All Star television again until his second round match in protest of the firing of his friends The Fabulous Blondes. That.... is a shame. Ladies and Gentleman, we will be right back with The Spoiler in competition. Don't go anywhere!! -Commercial Break- 1 Fall, 10 Minute Time Limit -The Spoiler w/Skandor Akbar vs Mike Reed- The big masked man wasn't taking prisoners tonight as he beat Reed from pillar to post. But it wasn't a quick one as he apparently had some aggression to work out, so he took his time delivering the beating. About two minutes in Reed ate a big boot that could have been the end, but Spoiler didn't even bother to cover him. About a minute later Spoiler walked the top rope and clubbed him in the back of the head. He covered him that time, but lifted him up at two. Finally after five brutal minutes, The Spoiler applied the Claw and the referee immediately called for the bell seeing a chance to save Reed. Winner: The Spoiler in 5:02 Marc Lowrance: I am here with your winner The Spoiler and "General" Skandor Akbar. Skandor Akbar: Marc Lowrance, two weeks ago this man was moments away from becoming the Heavyweight Champion, until Scott Casey purposefully kicked the referee in the head. Then when I entered the ring to attempt to revive him, Sunshine attacked me from behind and tried to light me on fire! Marc Lowrance: I'm not sure that's quite how I remember it, but in the interest of The Spoiler not taking another swing at me, go on. Skandor Akbar: Then as I was being assaulted by that wild woman, this man The Spoiler was attacked from behind by Casey, and then the referee was conveniently back to his feet. The whole thing smells like a set up to me, and I will most certainly be filing a grievance with the Texas All Star Board of Directors. That will be all Marc Lowrance! Marc Lowrance: There you have it Ladies and Gentleman! We'll be right back with "Mr. Ebony" Tom Jones! As the show is getting ready to go to commercial, we catch The Spoiler and Akbar heading to the back and Tom Jones is making his way out. The two men nearly bump into one another, and a tense stare down occurs. Just as it looks like cooler heads will prevail, The Spoiler shoves Jones, which prompts Jones to fire a right hand at the masked man. As they start to brawl, a mass of referees and security arrive on the scene and pull them apart. -Commercial Break- Marc Lowrance: Welcome back to Texas All Star Wrestling on KTVT! Before the break we saw a scuffle between The Spoiler and Tom Jones. Security has taken The Spoiler to his dressing room. Tom Jones is in the ring to compete, and he looks fired up! 1 Fall, 10 Minute Time Limit -"Mr. Ebony" Tom Jones vs Jack Spade- Jones is on fire tonight as he uses his power to toss Spade all over the ring! Bodyslams, beals, and hiptosses are just the opening barrage of the power attack that Mr. Ebony is putting on. He hoists Spade up into a military press slam and drops him hard in the middle of the ring. A big clothesline nearly takes the head off of Jack, and when Jones finally locks on the Full Nelson, Spade submits in moments. Winner: "Mr. Ebony" Tom Jones in 3:09 Marc Lowrance: I am here with your winner "Mr. Ebony" Tom Jones! Tom, at the Halloween Spooktacular, you put away Alexis Smirnoff in a very violent match. Your thoughts on that one? Tom Jones: Marc, that big Russian thought he could get one over on Mr. Ebony and I showed him that although I might be a little older and a little slower than I used to be, it takes one tough sucka to beat Tom Jones! Marc Lowrance: Indeed it does! Before your match tonight, you and The Spoiler got into it. Is he someone you'd like to get in the ring with? Tom Jones: You know Marc, I'll take on anybody in that ring. But if The Spoiler wants to get all up in my business then I'll be more than happy to show him why that's a real bad idea. Personally, I think he is just sour that on Halloween I came away a winner, and he was nothing but a big old loser! Apparently The Spoiler was watching the monitor in the back, because after that comment he was running from the dressing room to mix it up with Jones. Marc Lowrance actually had to dive into the ring to get out of the way! Jones and Spoiler were trading punches, as the same herd of security and referees from before came rushing out from the back to pull them apart. Even as both were being held, they continued to lunge at one another. -Commercial Break- Marc Lowrance: Ladies and Gentleman, we are back and again The Spoiler and Tom Jones have been cleared out of ringside. These two seem to be on a collision course and..... Marc Lowrance is cut off as the lights in the building dim to almost nothing. After several long moments a spotlight hits the ring where we see an African American woman wearing a black cocktail dress standing in the center of the ring with a microphone. "Ladies and Gentleman, my name is Dark Journey and I am here to present to you the man who is set to take Texas All Star Wrestling and make it his own personal playground. So please stand on your feet, close your mouths, and welcome... "Hollywood" John Tatum!" AC\DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long" explodes into the Will Rogers Coliseum as a strobe light hits the entrance way. For a long moment nothing happens as the song plays, then there is a loud pop as a burst of confetti showers the entrance way and then "Hollywood" John Tatum makes his appearance. He is dressed in a black and white full length robe trimmed with white feathers. His long brown hair has blonde highlights through out, and he has just enough stubble to make the facade of a beard. As he slowly struts to the ring, the boo's grown increasingly louder. When the lights come back up and Dark Journey helps him take off his robe to reveal powder blue trunks with Hollywood written across the butt in a shade of red one step shy of pink, the boo's grow even louder. As Dark Journey fixes his hair and kisses his cheek before exiting the ring, Tatum has a smile on his face a mile wide as the Texas crowd absolutely loathes him. 1 Fall, 10 Minute Time Limit -"Hollywood" John Tatum w/Dark Journey vs Shane Tylor- Tatum spent the opening minutes of the match strutting, preening, and stalling all of which further angered the crowd. But when he finally got down to business, he made short work of his opponent, though he continued to showboat the whole time. When he connected with his California Kick, the booing stopped as the crowd all gasped at the impact of the maneuver. That was all she wrote and the ref could have counted to a thousand. Winner: "Hollywood" John Tatum in 4:55 Marc Lowrance: That was certainly something Ladies and Gentleman. "Hollywood" John Tatum has arrived in Texas All Star Wrestling, and I'm not sure anything will ever be the same again! We'll be right back with our main event! -Commercial Break- 1 Fall, TV Time Remaining -"Cowboy" Scott Casey w/Sunshine vs "El Jefe" Jose Estrada- All Star Heavyweight Title This one got off to a hot start when Estrada thrust his privates in the direction of Sunshine, and Casey responded with a huge right hand as the bell rang. Casey was relentless bouncing Estrada from pillar to post for the next several minutes. Punches, clotheslines, a huge back body drop and El Jefe was quick to bail out of the ring. Casey followed him out and Estrada was able to grab him by the trunks and leverage him into the ringpost to gain control of the match. From there Estrada went to work with a mixture of rest holds, cheap shots, and old fashioned heeling to keep Casey down, Sunshine angry, and the fans booing. Eventually Casey was able to regain control, but Estrada would take it back, and the match became a see saw battle as it stretched past the fifteen minute mark. Just short of the twenty minute mark, Casey whipped Estrada into the ropes and went for a clothesline, Estrada ducked it and went for a crossbody on the rebound, which Casey was able to duck. Unfortunately the referee was not, and Estrada crashed into him. The two continued to grapple with the referee down, and when Estrada got an opening he went to the outside and took hold of one of the heavy gold chains he comes to the ring wearing and began to wrap it around his fist. Sunshine was there in a flash to try and stop him, but Estrada shoved her hard to the floor which drew heavy boo's from the fans in the Will Rogers Coliseum. Estrada rolled into the ring with the chain wrapped around his fist, and blasted Scott Casey who had just gotten to his feet in the face with it. Casey went down like a ton of bricks, and Estrada with a smirk hid the chain in his tights and covered the fallen and now bleeding champion. An eruption of cheers went up from the crowd as Cocoa Samoa ran out from the back and into the ring and dropped a huge headbutt on the unsuspecting Estrada breaking up the pin. Samoa pulled Estrada off the mat and began to blast him with punches and headbutts until he knocked him clear out of the ring, but Cocoa wasn't finished as he followed him out and kept up the attack. Meanwhile, Dory Funk Jr came strolling out from the back and slid into the ring. He grabbed Scott Casey by the hair and drug him to his feet, then set him up for a piledriver. It was about this time that the referee got his wits about him, and saw the chaos happening around the ring and called for the bell. This Match was Declared a No Contest at 22:41 Marc Lowrance: The referee has thrown this one out. Cocoa Samoa is taking it to El Jefe and they are almost to the front door of the Will Rogers Coliseum!! Dory Funk has Scott Casey set up for a piledriver, but Sunshine is in the ring!! Sunshine runs into the ring and slaps Dory Funk hard across the face as he is holding Scott Casey up for the piledriver. The stoic Funk no sells it, and then drops the bleeding All Star Heavyweight Champion onto his head with the piledriver. Funk rolls away from the prone Casey as Sunshine immediately checks on her man. Marc Lowrance: Scott Casey was busted open earlier when he was hit with that chain by Estrada, and now he has been piledriven by Dory Funk Jr. We need some help for the ....Wait a Second......Sunshine..... OH NO... NO.....NO.... Dory Funk reaches down and grabs Sunshine by the hair and jerks her to her feet. She tries to slap him again but he catches her wrist, grabs her head and shoves her down into position for a piledriver!! Funk is holding the move, allowing the ferociously booing crowd to understand what is about to happen. Then a man comes sprinting from the back, his cowboy hat flying off his head as he runs, slides into the ring, and tackles Funk and Sunshine from the side, saving her. Marc Lowrance: JOHNNY MANTELL!! Mantell is on top of Funk in a flash firing away with lefts and rights, and Dory is struggling like hell to get away from him. Finally after eating a ton of punches, Funk reaches the ropes and pulls himself out of the ring. Mantell decides against chasing him and instead checks on Sunshine and his fallen partner as Dory makes a quick exit with a smirk on his face. Marc Lowrance: My Goodness Ladies and Gentleman! Johnny Mantell has returned to Texas All Star Wrestling, and he saved Sunshine from certain injury at the hands of Dory Funk Jr. The All Star Heavyweight Champion Scott Casey is down and bloody in the center of the ring. Cocoa Samoa and Jose Estrada have finally been pulled apart by security somewhere near the concession stand I am being told. What a wild night! Here comes the medical personnel to check on Scott Casey. Sunshine appears to be shaken up, but otherwise okay. Mantell looks ready for a fight. What a night. Ladies and Gentleman, that is all for Texas All Star Wrestling this week. We thank you so much for joining us, be sure to tune in next time, right here on KTVT. Until then, I'm Marc Lowrance, Good Night Everyone.

If I were trying to keepy company safe during a pandemic, I think the last thing I would do is have a fucking moron like Flip Gordon anywhere around.

Actually, I changed my mind.... Allen West would be my 8th round pick. But with everyone else gone (other than Scarlet, and I don't think we have any crossover picks)… I will also add Spike and Basher before I call it a draft. I may end up cutting them before I use them, but I might have an idea! Now, I am done!

Texas All Star takes Mark Starr Also, I will just throw this out there.... if neither Rain or Gene were planning to take Allen West (which I assume they weren't), call him my pick for the next round, and drop me out of the draft.

Texas All Star drafts Akio Sato and I am cool with adding Downtown Bruno....

Texas All Star will go ahead and sign Jim Powers

Texas All Star chooses Teijo Khan

Russo booking MACW.... Confirmed

Texas All Star selects Ranger Ross MACW is up with 2 picks...
