WWF releases Outback Jack

I also have to think Lucha House Party gets cut of more folks go. None of them are being used and I think at least one of them was tweeting about when they were free at one point.

It blows my mind that WWE is running a full on Best of the Super Juniors style round robin to crown an Interim Cruiserweight Champion when they've never given that much of a fuck about who the actual Cruiserweight Champion is.

I have to wonder if Angle just got cut from a talent contract but still has a Legends deal.

I'm not particularly a fan myself, but to deny racing as a sport just because you don't like it seems a bit narrow minded. It take focus, courage, and skill to drive 200mph for several hours at a time, in a cockpit that can be well above one hundred degrees with a narrow field of vision, all while you are an inch from the bumper of someone else doing the same thing, and there are like 40 other people doing the same thing all around you, and if any of you screw up, some or all of you are going to slam into concrete at speeds high enough to kill you. I mean yeah, it's fucking stupid....but I won't deny that they have balls, and they have skills.

Some classic Piper to open the show. Great interview. Could see and hear Roddy on the whole thing. The Embry/Tatum combo works wonderfully. Them vs R'n'R should be a fun little feud. I won't point out that no one in that Battle Royal playset works for you :-p Landel's commentary had me rolling. "Mediocre at Best" Scott Hall might be the best nickname ever Great segment with Landel/Idol/Percy. Love this group. Percy crippling more people than Polio got a legit LOL outta me. Rocky/Honky is a great first feud for both Nikita/Jones segment was great. Your attempt at Nikita's broken/fake Russian was fantastic, and Cowboy Clothesline got another laugh out of me. and I thought I'd laughed before, then came the Fiesta Garden. Chicky guessing what fat person was coming on the show was fucking Gold! Albano being a dick right back to them was good shit. Looking forward to seeing who he is bringing in. Great, great segment. As Spaldoni said....PLEASE.....Piper on the Fiesta Garden!!! As always, love a good show closing brawl. Things are heating up nicely, and when Flair gets back, it will explode! Great show. AWA is really heating up. No Greg Gagne to ruin shit. A+ stuff!!

Appearing on The Jim Cornette Experience, Kevin Sullivan addressed his reason for declining to appear in the Chris Benoit episode of Dark Side of the Ring. Sullivan was married to Nancy Benoit before she eventually became involved with and married Benoit, and the episode featured allegations that Sullivan was abusive to Nancy which was a factor in them breaking up and her ending up with Benoit. Sullivan, who has never really discussed the matter before publicly, talked about why he chose not to appear on the episode and recalled his marital problems with Nancy before Chris came into the picture, and also addressed allegations that he hit Nancy. Highlights and the full video are below: On declined to be part of Dark Side of the Ring because he didn’t hear Nancy’s parents okayed it: “I have been extremely sensitive to them [Nancy’s parents], they were dear friends at one time. And I can’t imagine how it is to get up every morning for the mother and the father to see two urns on a mantle. I mean that, to me, has to be the hardest thing in the world. And I respect them very, very much. And I wanted to hear from them if they okayed it, because they have never talked about it publicly that I know of … No disrespect to Sandra, but I wasn’t gonna take anybody else’s word, except for Maureen and Paul’s word. And if it was okay with them, I would have talked.” On his relationship with Nancy being rocky before Benoit came into WCW: “Right. We had problems before Chris came in for about 6 months. I mean, things – hey, it happens daily. It happened to us, we grew apart. Truthfully, there was that age difference where she spent her early 20’s with me Not seeing — she saw the world, but not on her own. And Benoit, when we put him with her, his wife was pregnant at the time and he was very leery about it because he had a meeting with Eric [Bischoff] and I and he said, ‘I’ve gotta make sure my wife doesn’t get upset about this. He was very concerned, she was pregnant at the time. “So yeah, we had probably — I’m gonna say six months we had had problems. We had two houses at the time that we lived in. I was spending more and more time down in the Keys, and she was spending more and more time in Daytona. And then as it eventually went, an incident happened that I actually stayed in Daytona — I mean, the Keys — 98% of the time, and the only time I went up to Daytona was when she wasn’t there. And I mean, we knew where we were headed, that we were headed for a divorce somewhere down the line. And we tried to patch it up a couple times, but things just didn’t work.” On his relationship with Chris Benoit during Benoit’s early WCW run: “I had never met him before. I had seen him. Jimmy, you’re gonna have to help me on this one. I think the first time I actually saw Chris, I was watching PBS when I was in Japan. I wasn’t watching in Japan but I was working Japan … He was very professional. He was all business, he was a quiet guy. He had a small circle of friends. But they were very loyal to one another, and every night he was going out to have the best match on the card. And he always had it every night.” On if he had any suspicion that Benoit and Nancy would end up together from their angle: “No, and that was the furthest thing from my mind. Like you just said, he had a pregnant wife. He was quiet guy, and her and I weren’t getting along. And I knew what was going to happen, meaning I knew that we were going to separate down the line — well, we were [separated]. We weren’t living together anymore. But did I think Chris was gonna leave his family? No. And I actually don’t think his friends thought that either.” On the only official report of domestic violence between him and Nancy being against Nancy: “Yea, I’ve never brought that up Jimmy. And you know, if you look at it, there were charges put on her. She spent three days in jail, and she stabbed me with a knife. And that was the breaking of our relationship completely. Then I never went back to Daytona. And I paid for her to get out of jail, but I never brought it up because of the respect I had for her mother and father. And I know it weighs heavy on their heart. I used to say to myself, ‘I can carry this, I can carry it. They can’t.’ I’m not trying to be a hero here but why put more weight on their heads and say that?” On Nancy’s sister alleging he assaulted Nancy: “For Sandra to say that, I think sometimes maybe Sandra sees things her own way. And these guys from Dark Side of the Ring certainly aren’t Sherlock Holmes or Watson, or they would have figured that out. Did some research on that. Her mother was very appreciative, and father too, of what I did to get it squashed. She never really — we went to court and said this is the only time we ever had a problem; it won’t happen again, and I got her out. And she went home and I got the car and drove to the Keys.” On the show’s claim that Sullivan gave Nancy a black eye: “Well, I was living down in the Keys. I hadn’t seem Nancy for about four months. If she had a black eye, I don’t know how she got it. But I think maybe Sandra got her timeline wrong … I never gave her a black eye.”

Airing in Syndication all across the United States of America from the Allentown Agricultural Hall in Allentown, Pennsylvania the World Wrestling Federation presents: A funky bass rhythm mixed with a synthesizer beat begins as clips of all the World Wrestling Federation stars such as Andre the Giant, The Fantastics, Hillbilly Jim, Jimmy Snuka, and Tito Santana in action plays. It ends with Bob Backlund holding aloft the WWF World Heavyweight title and then cuts to the logo..... Vince McMahon: Hello Everyone, and welcome to the World Wrestling Federation's Superstars of Wrestling! I'm Vince McMahon and joining me at ringside is wrestling's Living Legend, Bruno Sammartino and His Lordship, Lord Alfred Hayes. This week we are going to see "The Candy Man" Ray Candy! England's Own Billy Robinson!! and SGT. SLAUGHTER!!! Bruno Sammartino: The Highwaymen are going to be in tag team action. Lord Alfred Hayes: We will also see Bobby "The Brain" Heenan's newest recruit in his Heenan Family, and the World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Champion Bob Backlund has requested time to speak. Bruno Sammartino: If he comes up here again, I'm gonna pop him one. Vince McMahon: Calm down Bruno. Let's head to the ring where we are set for our opening contest. _______________________________________________________________ -Match 1- Billy Robinson forced Johnny Rodz to submit to an armbar in 5:01 _______________________________________________________________ Lord Alfred Hayes: Robinson is such a dangerous competitor because he has so many ways to defeat you. Bruno Sammartino: I may not like his attitude, but he is a very good wrestler. Vince McMahon: England's Own Billy Robinson picks up another win here on Superstars! Let's go now... Lord Alfred Hayes: There appears to be some kind of commotion going on near the... Bob Backlund comes out from behind the curtain at the entrance way and is dragging Gene Okerlund by the collar of his suit jacket. He pulls him up to the elevated platform and begins screaming for a microphone. A stagehand tentatively brings one over and Backlund rips it out of his hand, before shoving it into the chest of Okerlund. An obviously frightened and unprepared Okerlund is noticeably shaking as he holds the microphone. "Mean" Gene: Bob Backlund, we aren't scheduled to speak until later in the show.... Bob Backlund: WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!!! "Mean" Gene: Mister...Mister.....Mr. Backlund....this interview wasn't.... Bob Backlund: I DON'T CARE ABOUT SCHEDULES!!! ASK ME ABOUT JAMES SNUKA!!! "Mean" Gene: O...Okay....what about Jim...Jimmy Snuka.... Bob Backlund: IT IS AN ABOMINATION!! AN ABOMINATION THAT JAMES SNUKA HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO RETURN TO MY WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION!!! Backlund is drooling and nearly hyperventilating. He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, when he opens his eyes again, the manic look on his face changes to one of frightening calm. Bob Backlund: When I was assaulted by Raymond Stevens and forced to relinquish my WWF Championship, it was James Snuka who won the ridiculous farce of a tournament to try and replace me. When I returned and defeated him, and drove him out of the World Wrestling Federation, these people who cheered me for so many years all turned against me. Then as I began to systematically destroy all of their heroes, including decimating their new golden boy Terry Allen after his fluke victory, they began to call me crazy, unhinged, a lunatic. Backlund moves his head until he is eye to eye with Gene Okerlund. Bob Backlund: So I ask you Gene Okerlund, if I am those things, can you imagine what I am going to do to James Snuka. To the would be pretender to my throne, now that he has dared to return to the World Wrestling Federation. What do you think I will do Gene? WHAT DO YOU THINK I WILL DO!!!! "Mean" Gene: Well, I can only imagine... Bob Backlund: YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO IMAGINE!!!! Because Gene Okerlund, I want you to go in the back, and I want you to get Jack Tunney on the phone, and I want the match made for next week on this television program. Bob Backlund, the World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Champion against James Snuka, one on one, man versus man...and I..will....DESTROY HIM!!! MAKE IT HAPPEN GENE OKERLUND!!! GET ME MY MATCH....NOW...GOOOOO!!!!! "Mean" Gene drops the microphone and moves as fast as he can off of the platform and heads for the locker room. The camera pans in on the face of Bob Backlund which is contorted in a deranged smile as we fade to a commercial break. -Commercial Break- Bruno Sammartino: I am telling you, that man has lost his mind! Vince McMahon: Oh, uhh...Welcome back to Superstars of Wrestling! Before the breal we saw WWF Champion Bob Backlund challenge "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka to a match on Superstars right here next week. Hopefully we will find out more on that a little later. Right now..it's time for The Candy Man!! _______________________________________________________________ -Match 2- "Candy Man" Ray Candy over Snake Brown in 3:49 with the Chocolate Drop. As Candy is celebrating his victory, several children are brought in the ring and they dance with The Candy Man for a few moments before he gives them all high fives! _______________________________________________________________ Vince McMahon: Ha Ha!! Look at them Alfred!! Get Down and Boogie!! Lord Alfred Hayes: I must say that music does have something of a groove to it! Vince McMahon: We'll be right back! Promotional Consideration Paid for by the Following: This Weekend!!.... blood and steel meet in an epic clash, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Brigitte Nielsen......Red Sonja -Commercial Break- _______________________________________________________________ -Match 3- The Highwaymen (Bobby Duncum/Bobby Jaggers) defeated Brian Costello/Mario Mancini in 5:14 when Jaggers pinned Mancini after a Spike Piledriver During the match the same blonde woman who came out at the end of Kevin Kelly's match last week was seen standing in the entrance way taking notes. _______________________________________________________________ Vince McMahon: The Highwaymen bring home the victory! Tell us about it Bruno! Bruno Sammartino: Bobby Duncum hits Mario Mancini with a hard clothesline, then tags in Bobby Jaggers. Duncum sets up Mancini for the piledriver and Jaggers comes off the top and they spike him hard into the mat. It's all over after that. Lord Alfred Hayes: The same woman who came out here last week during "Magnificent" Kevin Kelly's match appeared to be scouting The Highwaymen during this contest. Very interesting. Vince McMahon: Very interesting indeed Alfred. We still have no idea who this woman is, or who her business partner might be. Maybe "Mean" Gene has some idea, let's head over to him and Update! With the latest from the World Wrestling Federation, this is Update with: "Mean" Gene: Quite frankly Gentleman, I've had very little luck in getting any information on the identity of that young lady, or her supposed business partner myself. They seem to have their eyes on several talents here in the World Wrestling Federation, so I'm sure we'll all find out soon enough. All right, Ladies and Gentleman, I'm sure you all saw the World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Champion Bob Backlund manhandle me earlier this evening and demand a match against "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka to take place right here on Superstars of Wrestling next week. Let me first say, that I don't appreciate that kind of treatment. I am not the matchmaker here, nor am I the President. If it were up to me, Bob Backlund would be fined and suspended. But it isn't up to me, it's up to this man. Let's hear now from WWF President Jack Tunney. We are taken to the office of WWF President Jack Tunney who is sitting with a serious look on his face. Jack Tunney: Thank You Gene Okerlund, and I agree with you that the actions of Bob Backlund earlier in this show were inappropriate and crossed boundaries. Because of that, I am fining Mr. Backlund the amount of Five Thousand Dollars. As for his request for a match with "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka on Superstars of Wrestling next week... I am making that match official, and the World Wrestling Federation Championship WILL be on the line! Thank You Gene. We fade out of the office as Tunney goes back to filling out paperwork "Mean" Gene: There you have it Ladies and Gentleman! Not only has Bob Backlund been fined Five Thousand Big Ones, but next week, right here on Superstars of Wrestling he will defend the WWF Title against "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka!! That one is sure to be a doozy. For Update, I'm Gene Okerlund. Vince McMahon: OH MY!!! Bruno Sammartino: I hope Jimmy Snuka knocks some sense into Backlund. Vince McMahon: Ladies and Gentleman, when we return we'll find out who the newest member of The Heenan Family is. You don't want to miss it!! -Commercial Break- When we return from commercial, we are taken to Bobby "The Brain" Heenan standing in front of a WWF backdrop. He has a huge smile on his face as he begins.. Bobby Heenan: Last week I promised all of you humanoids that I would reveal the newest member of my Heenan Family this week. I already have the WWF Tag Team Champions, Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid, The British Bulldogs. I already have the Four Hundred and Fifty pound monster known as King Kond Bundy. So who could I possibly be adding that would be worth the hype? How about a second generation wrestler who has held championship titles across the United States. How about a man known worldwide for his toughness, a man that only gets stronger the more you beat on him. How about a man that has no problem going thirty minutes, forty five minutes, even an hour inside that ring. How about a man who uses the Figure Four Leglock to cripple his opponents! Ladies and Gentleman, the newest member of the Heenan Family....Greg "The Hammer" Valentine!! Valentine steps into the picture wearing a very fancy and expensive looking new robe. He has a big smile on his face as he cracks his knuckles and moves his head from side to side warming up. Heenan clamps a hand on his shoulder and the big smiles returns to Bobby's face. The two of them then head out of picture as the camera fades. _________________________________________________________ -Match 4- Greg "The Hammer" Valentine w/Bobby Heenan forced Steve Lombardi to submit to the Figure Four Leglock in 4:28 _______________________________________________________________ Bruno Sammartino: Valentine had spent the whole match working on the leg of Lombardi. Lombardi tried a kick, but Valentine caught it, tripped him down and applied the Figure Four. Lombardi gave up immediately. Lord Alfred Hayes: Adding Greg "The Hammer" Valentine to the ranks of King Kong Bundy and the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions The British Bulldogs has to make Bobby Heenan the most powerful man in the WWF. Vince McMahon: He has certainly assembled quite a bit of talent Alfred. But it remains to be seen just what kind of impact they have. Ladies and Gentleman, we'll be right back with our feature contest!! -Commercial Break- _________________________________________________________ Before the match began, we are taken to Sgt. Slaughter standing in front of a WWF backdrop. Sgt. Slaughter: At Ease Soldiers! Now, I've only been back here in the World Wrestling Federation for a few weeks, but I see men like The Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff disrespecting the United States of America. I see two men from England cheating two fine Americans to win the Tag Team Titles. I see Bob Backlund acting like a lunatic and not what a champion should be. Well let it be known that these are the things that Sgt. Slaughter is here to take care of. On my watch, things will be done the right way, the respectful way, and the American Way. -Match 5- Sgt. Slaughter beat Iron Mike Sharpe in 4:08 with the Cobra Clutch _______________________________________________________________ Vince McMahon: That'll do it!! Sgt. Slaughter brings home another victory with the Cobra Clutch! Lord Alfred Hayes: Slaughter has looked quite impressive since returning here to the World Wrestling Federation. Vince McMahon: Indeed he has Alfred! Ladies and Gentleman, that will do it for this week on Superstars of Wrestling! Join us next week where we will see the debut of the nearly Five Hundred Pound Grizzly Muldoon! Then from there we will see Tito Santana in action! Then of course the big one, WWF World Heavyweight Champion Bob Backlund will defend the title against "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka!! You absolutely do not want to miss that one! See you next week!!

Brian Adias and Gary Young as a tag team!! That's like my forgotten 80's mid carder dream team!! The Lawler/Adonis feud is awesome, as they are just perfect foils for one another. So glad to see The Movement still running hot and pissing people off! Mike Miller trying to stir shit up with Kerry...at the Sportatorium?? Does he want to die!!! The Armstrongs feuding with Tully and anyone is going to be a great feud, and I am really looking forward to seeing where it goes. As always, great work from top to bottom. Your stuff is always a pleasure to read.

Any place that immediately puts a title on Terry Funk, and is giving a push to Sam Houston is okay in my book. Dug the first two shows, and look forward to seeing where things go.

WWF adds Joe Savoldi I will cut someone when I get off work and can look at my roster

Luger's wrestling career seems almost like an after thought in Luger's book between Jesus, drugs, football, cheating on his wife, and then all of the bad shit that happens to him at the end. If you are looking for substantial tidbits about WCW, you might find one or two, but nothing covering it in any sort of depth.

#1 arrives and immediately treats Larry Nelson like #2, I like it!! Jones as the manager for the Russians is perfect. Interested to see what the "Secret Weapon" is going to be. Nice win for the new Killer Bee's! Good pairing. Oh Dios Mio!! The Fiesta Garden has returned, and it was glorious!! Madril and Chicky with TNT is going to be amazing! Adding Valiant, Embry, and Tatum to the mix only made it better....then came the Honky Tonk Man!!! Best Segment Ever!! Dibiase has a legit gripe with the AWA and Hansen, he deserves his rematch. Great Hansen interview. The trip to Japan is a nice tough. Legitimizes your title, and fits with Hansen perfectly. Idol showing up to hook up with Landel and Percy is another perfect fit. Excited to see who Flair brings in as his partner.... and it's Piper!! Oh Lord, those are gonna be some promo's with Flair and Piper together!! Those two against the Pringle Dynasty is going to be a ton of fun!! Nikita comes for Hansen, and I can't wait to see who is still standing when the Sickle meets the Lariat!! Great Stuff Gene!!

Austin Theory looks like the default create-a-wrestler from the video game. What a bland, generic dude. I really wanna know who has the major hard on for him, for him to get this spot over everyone in NXT.

I would have preferred the yearly Triple H epic to this bullshit. At least with that you get a hilarious cosplay movie entrance.

The match so long it had to be 2 nights.....

Love Bockwinkel taking Cooley lightly. I still don't buy for a moment that Cooley is winning the belt, but it is going to make for one hell of a match! Glad to see Sivi Afi getting a bit of a push here. Probably more than I'd have done with him! Like we've stated, you are awesome at giving everyone something. Great stuff with Kerry and Miller. That's a good little feud. Loving Lawler and Adonis as well. Another great feud, and the promo's for that would be fantastic. The Stampede throwback with Karachi Vice attacking Bruce Hart is great story telling. Very stoked to see Ron Bass getting what looks to be a good singles run. I hope he goes far. Nice TV main event with Martel over Brito Afi picks up another win, Nice! Not sure if Bass was just after Oliver, or if that is a potential Blanchard/Bass alliance, but either possibility leads to great things! Von Erich and Miller settled nothing! Looking forward to that continuing. YES!! The Movement brings home the gold!! As expected, Bock and Cooley tear the house down, and while he didn't win it, Cooley looks like a million bucks. Bockwinkel has a stranglehold here in USWA, and quite frankly... I Love It!!

The only thing that made me sad about the Boneyard is that I was actually excited to hear American Bad Ass or Rollin' for the first time..well.....ever, and they let me down. To make matters worse they chose post-1995 Metallica. There is no good post-1995 Metallica!

I literally just spit water out at this comment.

Vince McMahon: Hello Everyone, and welcome to the World Wrestling Federation's Superstars of Wrestling! I'm Vince McMahon and joining me at ringside is Bruno Sammartino, wrestling's Living Legend and His Lordship, Lord Alfred Hayes. This week in action we're going to see "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka! Then from there in action will be "Magnificent" Kevin Kelly, and we will see the World Wrestling Federation debut of D.J. Peterson! Bruno Sammartino: The Gunslingers will be in tag team competition. Lord Alfred Hayes: We will also bring you the results of the tournament to crown the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions, and we will see the nearly five hundred pound behemoth known as King Kong Bundy inside the ring. Vince McMahon: Let's head down to Howard Finkel for our opening contest! _______________________________________________________________ DJ Peterson got quite the immediate reaction from the ladies with his curly locks and Tom Selleck mustache, not to mention you could really tell he's been hitting the gym with his jacked physique. Once he started slapping hands with the kids, he cemented himself as a fan favorite! -Match 1- DJ Peterson beat Jose Estrada in 4:11 with a Shouldblock from the Top Rope. _______________________________________________________________ Vince McMahon: OH MY!! What a Maneuver!! Lord Alfred Hayes: DJ Peterson is nearly Two Hundred and Seventy pounds and he sails off of that top rope with ease. That is truly impressive for a man of his stature. Vince McMahon: That one goes down in the record books for DJ Peterson and we go to Update with "Mean" Gene Okerlund! _______________________________________________________________ With the latest from the World Wrestling Federation, this is Update with: "Mean" Gene: Ladies and Gentleman, this past weekend in Madison Square Garden the tournament for the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Championship came to it's conclusion as eight teams battled it out in one night to determine who would bring home the gold. When the dust was settled and the smoke cleared it came down to Bobby Fulton and Tommy Rogers, The Fantastics standing across the ring from Davey Boy Smith and The Dynamite Kid, The British Bulldogs in the finals. Both teams were battered and bruised, but they were prepared to persevere and do whatever it took to become champions. Little did we know that one team was ready to sink to depths we hadn't considered to bring home the gold. Let's roll the footage. Bobby Fulton and Davey Boy Smith were in the ring together. Smith attempted to whip Fulton into the ropes, but Bobby was able to reverse it. On the rebound Fulton leapfrogged over Smith and then charged into the opposite set of ropes, it was then that Bobby Heenan made his presence known reaching into the ring and tripping Bobby Fulton. Fulton stumbled forward and was nearly decapitated by a Davey Boy Smith clothesline. Smith quickly hoisted him up and planted him with the Running Powerslam. Dynamite Kid raced across the ring and delivered a vicious elbow that sent Tommy Rogers off the apron as Smith covered Fulton for the One, Two, Three. "Mean" Gene: I alluded to his imminent arrival last week, but there you see it folks, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan has indeed arrived in the World Wrestling Federation and has made quite the impact in doing so. I certainly never expected to see The British Bulldogs sell out to a man like Heenan, but it would appear they have, and in doing so they did become the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions. However, President Jack Tunney has wasted no time in signing the rematch and when the WWF comes to you live on NBC for Saturday Night's Main Event on May the 9th, The British Bulldogs will defend those titles against The Fantastics. Let's hear now from Tommy Rogers and Bobby Fulton. We cut to The Fantastics standing in front of a WWF backdrop. Both men look much angrier than normal. Tommy Rogers: Davey Boy Smith. Dynamite Kid. I hope you are real proud of yourselves. We fought our way into that final just like you did, and you didn't see The Fantastics taking any shortcuts. Come Saturday Night's Main Event, when we haven't been attacked by Sheik and Volkoff, and we haven't already wrestled two matches, you boy's are in a lot of trouble. Bobby Fulton: British Bulldogs!! You got The Fantastics angry now! Normally me and Tommy just like to come out here and have a good time, but you cheated us out of them titles! So at the Saturday Nights Main Event, bring yourselves, bring them belts, and bring that new Weasel of a manager of yours, and we are gonna whip your butts 'til Sunday morning! Tommy and Bobby both pump a fist at the camera before walking out of frame. "Mean" Gene: The Fantastics are fired up and ready for a fair shake at the titles. A little later on in this hour I will have a word with Bobby Heenan and his men. I am very interested to here how they will spin this. For Update, I'm Gene Okerlund. -Commercial Break- Vince McMahon: Welcome back to Superstars of Wrestling! Let's head down to the ring for tag team action with The Gunslingers!! _______________________________________________________________ As The Gunslingers are heading to the ring, a picture in picture interview comes up with them. Johnny Mantell: Two Eagles, Strongbow. You cost us our shot at the tag team titles. Don't think for a minute we won't be coming for you two boys. Scott Casey: When we get you inside this ring, The Tribe is going to find out how the West was won...Gunslinger style! -Match 2- The Gunslingers (Scott Casey/Johnny Mantell defeated Tom Stone/Frank Williams in 4:53 when Mantell pinned Williams after a Double Bulldog! _______________________________________________________________ Lord Alfred Hayes: My Word! I think the referee could have counted to one hundred! Vince McMahon: Walk us through this replay Bruno! Bruno Sammartino: Scott Casey has taken Frank Williams down with a clothesline, and tags in Mantell. As soon as Williams gets back to his feet, The Gunslingers come off the ropes together and put him down with a Double Bulldog. Mantell rolls him over and hooks the leg, and it's all over. Vince McMahon: It certainly was Bruno! Ladies and Gentleman, we will be right back with "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka!! Promotional Consideration Paid for by the Following: Join Matt Trakker and the agents of M.A.S.K. as they fight against the criminal organization V.E.N.O.M. with an all new line of figures and vehicles by Kenner! -Commercial Break- _______________________________________________________________ -Match 3- "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka over Barry Horowitz in 3:28 with the Superfly Splash _______________________________________________________________ Vince McMahon: All Right!!! The Superfly soars this week on Superstars! What do you think about it Bruno!! Before Bruno can begin to speak there is a commotion as Bob Backlund comes storming out to the announce position. He is wearing a three piece suit with the World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Championship strapped around his waist. He is also bright red in the face and seething. He tears the headset off of Lord Alfred Hayes and begins to scream, failing to notice Bruno Sammartino stand up and clench his fist. Bob Backlund: WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE!! WHAT IS HE DOING HERE!! I RAN TERRY ALLEN OUT OF THE WWF LIKE THE COWARD THAT HE IS! I TORE IVAN PUTSKI'S SHOULDER OUT OF IT'S SOCKET IN MADISON SQUARE GARDEN!! NOW YOU ARE TELLING ME THAT THE GODLESS HEATHEN KNOWN AS JAMES SNUKA IS BACK IN MY WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION!!!! I WON'T STAND FOR IT!! I WON'T HAVE IT!! THIS CAN NOT BE MCMAHON!! DO YOU HEAR ME!!! THIS CAN NOT BE!!! With that Backlund slams down the headset, shoves Alfred Hayes out of his way and stomps off back to where he came from. Bruno Sammartino: I should'a... Vince McMahon: Let's go to a break..... -Commercial Break- We come back from commercial and are taken to an elevated platform away from the ring where we see "Mean" Gene Okerlund standing with a microphone in his hands. "Mean" Gene: Ladies and Gentleman, please welcome my guests at this time the New World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions, Davey Boy Smith and The Dynamite Kid, The British Bulldogs and their new manager Bobby "The Brain" Heenan! As a chorus of boo's rings out across the arena, Bobby Heenan comes from behind the curtain with a big smile on his face. He is followed closely by The Bulldogs who are dressed in street clothes and have the belts slung over their shoulders. They come slowly to the podium, seemingly enjoying the reaction of the crowd. "Mean" Gene: Bobby Heenan, you and I are no strangers to one another, and I know what kind of man you are. But what I don't know is what you are doing here in the World Wrestling Federation. Bobby Heenan: What kind of man I am? What kind of man I am! Obviously I am the kind of man who manages champions! That is exactly what I am doing here in the WWF, managing champions, and it sure looks like I am off to a pretty good start, now doesn't it Okerlund! "Mean" Gene: Well, we certainly all saw what happened that allowed The British Bulldogs to become the new World Tag Team Champions at Madison Square Garden. Bobby Heenan: What? You talking about that idiot Bobby Fulton tripping over his own feet right into a clothesline by Davey Boy Smith? Then getting powerslammed into next week and pinned? Yeah, we all saw that! "Mean" Gene: Now Bobby Heenan, we all saw you reach into that ring and trip Bobby Fulton! Who are you trying... Dynamite Kid gets face to face with "Mean" Gene and stares at him for several tense moments before speaking. Dynamite Kid: You trying to say we couldn't get the job done? "Mean" Gene: I..No....I was..just..... Dynamite Kid: Let Mr. Heenan talk. Bobby Heenan: Thank You Dynamite. Now, as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted! The Fantastics had a great run in that tournament, but my British Bulldogs were the most dominant team by far. So if Jack Tunney wants to give them a rematch, that's fine by us. These two men will fight anyone. I heard Fulton and Rogers crying and boo hoo'ing about getting cheated earlier. Let me tell you something Fantastics. You'd best quit crying and start training, because when The British Bulldogs get you in that ring again, and this time they haven't already wrestled twice that night, they are gonna hurt you! "Mean" Gene: Alright Gentleman, Thank You... Bobby Heenan: No, No, No. No one told you to talk yet Okerlund. I'm not done. The Heenan Family is just getting started here in the WWF. I told you I was here to manage champions, and that means all of them! The British Bulldogs already have the Tag Team Titles, but I am going to need men to hold the singles gold as well. So right now, let me introduce you to the next member of the Heenan Family... From behind the curtain comes the man scheduled to compete in the next match. Bobby Heenan: Oh Yeah! Look at this man! Six Feet, Four Inches Tall! Over Four Hundred Fifty Pounds! and he is going to squash anyone, anyone that dares to step into that ring with him. Ladies and Gentleman, I present to you, the next member of The Heenan Family....King..Kong..Bundy!! "Mean" Gene: Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, you are putting together quite the group of men... Bobby Heenan: Ohhh No Okerlund. Not a group, a Family...and it isn't complete. Not yet. Next week another member of my family will be right here on Superstars of Wrestling. But for now, Bundy and I have a Ham 'n' Egger to send packing, and The Bulldogs have better things to do than stand here talking to you. Gentleman. The Heenan Family all exit the podium. Dynamite Kid shoves Gene Okerlund as they pass. -Commercial Break- Vince McMahon: Welcome back to Superstars of Wrestling! Before the break we heard from The Bobby Heenan Family, and it would seem they are set to make an impact here in the World Wrestling Federation. Bruno Sammartino: They seem like a bunch of cheaters with a loud mouth leading the way. Vince McMahon: You can say that again Bruno! Let's head to the ring where Heenan Family member King Kong Bundy is set for action. _______________________________________________________________ -Match 4- King Kong Bundy defeated S.D. Jones in 0:27 with the Avalanche/Big Splash combination. After the initial count of 3, Bundy asked that the referee count to FIVE!! _______________________________________________________________ Lord Alfred Hayes: My Goodness! That has to be some kind of a record! Vince McMahon: Not only did this King Kong Bundy put away S.D. Special Delivery Jones in under thirty seconds, he made the referee count to five instead of just three! Lord Alfred Hayes: What an absolutely dominating performance by King Kong Bundy, and would you look at Bobby Heenan grinning from ear to ear. Vince McMahon: With that kind of monster as part of his family, Bobby Heenan may be unstoppable. Ladies and Gentleman, we'll be right back with our featured contest. -Commercial Break- _______________________________________________________________ -Match 5- "Magnificent" Kevin Kelly forced Jim Powers to submit in 4:42 with a Full Nelson _______________________________________________________________ Bruno Sammartino: Kelly shows off his strength by walking Powers around the ring before slamming him down to the mat. Then he waits until Powers starts to get back up and locks in that Full Nelson. Powers tries to escape, but he can't do it. Vince McMahon: "Magnificent" Kevin Kelly picks up another win here tonight! Lord Alfred Hayes: Conspicuous by his absence is "Classy" Freddie Blassie, the manager for Kelly. Vince McMahon: Well Alfred, I've been led to understand that Blassie and Nikolai Volkoff are actually special guests at a dinner being held at the Kremlin this weekend. Lord Alfred Hayes: The Kremlin! My Word, I didn't realize that....wait a moment now, what is this..... As "Magnificent" Kevin Kelly is celebrating his victory by flexing his muscles to a chorus of boo'ing, a blonde woman makes her way down the aisle and steps into the ring. She runs her hand over the biceps of Kelly and smiles at him. The camera catches her saying something to the effect of "my business partner and I would love to have a talk with you." Kelly nods and the two of them leave the ring and head for the dressing room. Lord Alfred Hayes: I don't know who in the world that young lady was, but she certainly seems to have gotten the attention of "Magnificent" Kevin Kelly. Vince McMahon: I'm not sure either Alfred, but I do know that is all for this week on Superstars of Wrestling! Join us next week when we'll see England's Own Billy Robinson, "The Candy Man" Ray Candy, and apparently Bobby "The Brain" Heenan will have another member of his Heenan Family. You won't want to miss it. See You Next Week!!

WWF drops Jim Powers and picks up Grizzly Boone

Dibiase sure didn't look like a million dollars tonight....see what I did there......Thank You, I'll be here all week! Try your waiter, tip the veal. Anyway.... Well done on the battle royal, easy to read, eliminations made sense, Krusher looked liked a legitimate threat, and Hansen is a great winner cause the fans immediately buy the main event. Olympia/Kabuki has potential to be a great feud. I hope it continues. That's one hell of a six man tag. Looking forward to a lot more fights between those men. I freaking love the S.S.T. so I am very happy to see them getting some traction around here. A Samoan/Russian feud could make for some fun brawls. and the reign of Dibiase ends at the hands of The Lariat. That is going to stir some shit up. Unpredictability is going to be the name of the game here in the AWA now. This should be fun to watch!!

I'd really like to show the New Jack episode to all of the people who are watching that Tiger King show and saying "I can't believe people that fucked up actually exist."
