For a "first time viewer" he seems to know a whole hell of a lot about what's going on. How does he know Riho isn't believable when she wasn't on the show? How does he know all Kenny Omega matches go over 15 minutes? This strikes me as someone burying the product for the sake of burying the product. Not that he doesn't make some valid points, but "first time viewer" my ass.

The Kushida/Grimes match on NXT was a ton of fun. Trevor Lee was always one of my favorite guys on the indies, I really hope this is some indication they plan to do more with him!

The joke itself isn't necessarily funny, but since Cornette gives Janela nothing but shit, him mocking the joke that got Cornette canned from the NWA show made me laugh.

Vickie Guerrero was pretty enjoyable on commentary this week. Joey Janela joined for the last two matches and said that Orange Cassidy was "So brave he'd strap a bucket of maple syrup to his back and ride a motorbike through Canada"

Thank You!

Does anyone know who the blonde accompanying Eddie Gilbert to the ring is for his Falls Count Anywhere Tri-State match against Cactus Jack? It's not Missy Hyatt, and I am pretty sure it isn't Madusa.

So long as one of them are drinking Clamato Juice, I am totally in for this feud....per say

I'm with you all on Statlander, but I wish they hadn't beat Shida to do it. She was the only other female on the roster that seemed to be gaining any momentum.

I just can't get past the fact that Havoc looks like that one 40 year old guy who never got over his Goth phase that you see at every concert, with that exact haircut, wearing a black trench coat, and bitching about how he liked the band before you ever heard of them.

I wonder if this is them prepping to move all of the classic content to a higher priced tier, since they assume we'll just pay for anything.

Maybe this is the most forward thinking, make a statement booking ever done by WWE trying to get people to see the injustice that runs rampant in society ....or maybe the angle is fucking terrible. One of those two for sure.

That sucks. The current product certainly doesn't give a lot to look forward to weekly, but I was always excited to hear what was coming out for Hidden Gems.

There was a theory going around Twitter (I think) this week that so far everyone Bray has worked with has turned. Bryan from heel to face, and both Rollins and Balor from Face to Heel. Probably a giant coincidence, but the people were trying to correlate the Hurt/Heal gloves with making people change alignment. Again, probably just a coincidence, I certainly don't buy it, but certainly an interesting thought.

When the Power Hour first debuted, they had Gordon Solie hosting a small segment going over the main angles, counting down the Top 10, and then giving his opinion on one of the main angles. The whole thing lasted like 3 or 4 minutes, and I think this would be a perfect use of J.R. at this point.

The Starrcade logo, and the "A WTBS Special Presentation" picture were two separate images that I found on Google. I just saved them, opened the Starrcade logo in Paint, then imported the WTBS logo on top of it. After that it was just a matter of lining them up the best I could. I don't have photo shop or anything like that. I wish I had the skills to create original logos!

-Thursday Night November 28th- -From the The Superdome in New Orleans, LA- -AIRING LIVE ON- A sweeping camera shot of the nearly 20,000 rabid fans who have packed The Superdome opens the show, and then we are taken to the commentary desk where Jim Ross is dressed in his finest suit and tie, and Bill Watts is wearing a dress shirt with an open suit jacket and a cowboy hat! Jim Ross: Hello Everyone, and Welcome to Starrcade!! I am Jim Ross, joined by "Cowboy" Bill Watts right here on the Superstation WTBS, and we are so excited to be bringing you this double header here this evening with Continental Championship Wrestling! Bill Watts: We have four huge matches lined up for our portion of this show, and the fans here at the Superdome are ready to get to it! Jim Ross: Let's not keep them waiting Bill. Up first we have Iceman King Parsons of The Movement going one on one with "Hacksaw" Butch Reed. Parsons and The Movement have been trying to recruit Reed to their cause, and Reed has shown zero interest. So tonight they will fight, and if Parsons wins the match, Reed will join The Movement. However, if Reed picks up the victory, The Movement has agreed to never approach him again. Bill Watts: Butch Reed does what Butch Reed wants. This Movement is fighting a losing battle trying to get him to do what they want. 1 Fall, 30 Minute Time Limit -Butch Reed vs Iceman King Parsons- Parsons tried to start the match with a handshake, which Butch accepted and then turned into a press slam! From there Reed powered Iceman all over the ring and beat him from pillar to post for the first several minutes of the match. Parsons finally managed to take control when he bailed to the floor and got Reed to follow him, and shoved Butch into the ringpost. Parsons then stayed on Reed wearing him down using his speed and keeping him grounded as much as possible. Reed eventually fought his way back and looked to have Iceman well in hand, when Tiger Conway Jr arrived at ringside and began loudly berating Reed for being a traitor to the cause. Reed continued working on Parsons, but Conway was banging on the mat and saying things about Reed's family, which was when Butch finally had enough. Reed jumped out of the ring and popped Tiger Conway Jr in the mouth with a huge right hand. Butch slid back in the ring and went back after Parsons, but soon Shaska Whatley was at ringside and he took up the catcalling alongside Conway. Reed whipped Iceman Parsons into the ropes, and nailed him with a huge powerslam. Whatley called out that Reed may as well just be one of the white devils, and Butch looked like he was about to leave the ring again, but Referee Alfred Neely was there telling him just to ignore it. Reed climbed the turnbuckles and delivered his Shoulder Block from the Second Turnbuckle, but before he could cover Parson, Tiger Conway yelled out something that started with "You Uncle Tom...." but the rest of it was Bleeped out by the WTBS censors. Reed immediately bundled up both fists and ignoring Parsons headed for that side of the ring. Referee Alfred Neely got in front of Reed and implored him to stop, but Butch grabbed him and threw him to the ground. Reed slid out of the ring ready to fight, but then saw that both Whatley and Conway were backing up the aisle with huge smiles on their faces. Reed looked confused for a moment, and then looked even more so when he heard the bell ringing behind him. Butch slowly turned around to see the Referee calling for the Disqualification from the canvas where Butch had thrown him. Parsons was sitting on the mat just behind him, and he also was grinning from ear to ear. Winner, by Disqualification: Iceman King Parson The look on Reed's face goes from confusion to anger as he realizes that he has been played by The Movement. He storms up the aisle and shoulders past Conway and Whatley on his way to the dressing room. Conway can be heard saying "Welcome to the Team Sucka" as the show goes to commercial. -Commercial Break- Bill Watts: I can't believe it Jim. Those three just conned Butch Reed into making himself part of their little gang. Jim Ross: I don't know how this is going to work Ladies and Gentleman, but it appears that Butch Reed is now going to have to be part of The Movement. That makes them a whole lot more dangerous Cowboy. Bill Watts: Butch Reed is a friend of mine Jim. This is disgusting. I can't believe he has to associate with these punks. Jim Ross: Alright folks, it's time to get ready for our next match up. Back at Halloween Star Wars, The Spoiler won the Central States Title as a substitute. He has carried that title since then, but tonight he faces his biggest challenge in Kerry Von Erich. Bill Watts: Von Erich won a battle royal to earn this shot, and with the Von Erich's long time rival Gary Hart managing The Spoiler, and The Spoiler also using the Claw as his primary weapon, there is a lot of bad blood under the surface in this one. Jim Ross: Let's head to Marc Lowrance for the introductions! 1 Fall, 45 Minute Time Limit -The Spoiler w/Gary Hart vs Kerry Von Erich - AWA Central States Title A brawl from the moment the bell rang, Kerry and The Spoiler traded the advantage several times over the course of the match, and neither man seemed to have a clear advantage over the opening ten minutes. A big exchange of punches in the center of the ring left both staggered, but a leaping clothesline from The Spoiler gave him the advantage heading into the matches thirteenth minute. Spoiler wrenched the arm of Von Erich and walked across the top rope with ease and crashed down on Kerry leading to a very close two and nine tenths count. It was at that point that Spoiler locked on the Claw! Kerry was caught in the center of the ring flat on his back with The Spoiler's Claw locked in, but managed to get his shoulder up at two. Kerry fought to his knees as the crowd rallied behind him, and then he locked The Iron Claw onto the stomach of The Spoiler! Both men were trapped in a battle of wills at that point, and shockingly it was The Spoiler who broke first, releasing his claw and elbowing Von Erich in the head. Spoiler pulled Von Erich to his feet and whipped him into the ropes, Spoiler extended his leg hoping to catch Kerry with a big boot, but Kerry ducked it. Spoiler turned around and was nailed with a huge Discus Punch that sent him staggering backwards into the ropes. Kerry surged forward and whipped Spoiler into the ropes, nailing him with a huge dropkick on the rebound. Kerry then raised his hand into the air signalling for The Iron Claw! Kerry dropped down to the mat and sunk The Iron Claw onto the head of his masked opponent. Spoiler tried his best to pry the wrist away, but soon he wasn't moving and Referee David Manning counted the 1,2,3. Winner, and New Central States Champion: Kerry Von Erich! Jim Ross: Kerry Von Erich has done it! The Iron Claw has put down The Spoiler, and Kerry is the new Central States Heavyweight Champion! Bill Watts: It was one heck of a fight, and you can't take a thing away from The Spoiler, but again that Von Erich Iron Claw has been proven superior. Jim Ross: Since the merger between Mid-South and World Class under the AWA banner, none of the Von Erich's have held championship gold, tonight that.... WHAT THE HELL!! As Kerry Von Erich was celebrating with his newly won title belt, a man wearing blue jeans and a polo shirt hit the ring behind him and chop blocked him in the back of his right leg. Bill Watts: That's Greg "The Hammer" Valentine.... Jim Ross: WHAT IS HE DOING HERE!! Kerry crashes to the mat clutching his knee, the Central States Title falling to the mat. Valentine drops a huge elbow onto the chest of Von Erich, and then shoves David Manning hard to the mat. Valentine grabs hold of the leg of Kerry Von Erich and sinks in the Figure Four Leglock. It's not long before a host of officials and security hit the ring to pull "The Hammer" off of Kerry. Bill Watts: Go to commercial... -Commercial Break- Jim Ross: Welcome back Ladies and Gentleman. Before the break you saw the New Central States Champion Kerry Von Erich viciously attacked by Greg "The Hammer" Valentine. Valentine has been escorted out of the building by security, and Von Erich had to be helped to the back and was unable to put weight on his injured right leg. Bill Watts: I knew Valentine had been signed to compete here in World Class Wrestling, but I didn't expect him to show up like this. Jim Ross: If we get word on the condition of Kerry Von Erich before we go off the air tonight, we will be sure to pass it on to you. Bill Watts: We wish him all the best Jim, but as they say, the show must go on. Jim Ross: Indeed they do Cowboy. Up next, in a break from tradition, the World Class Heavyweight Title is on the line. Bill Watts: Normally the Heavyweight Title match is the main event Jim, but since we are sharing time with our friends at Continental tonight, the Cage Match for the Tag Titles is going on last. But don't think for a moment that makes this any less important. Jim Ross: Nick Bockwinkel has had a death grip on the World Class Title since winning it back on July Fourth, but tonight after surviving the brutal Chamber of Horrors match at Halloween Star Wars, Bruiser Brody is coming for the gold. 1 Fall, 60 Minute Time Limit -Nick Bockwinkel w/Big John Studd vs Bruiser Brody - AWA World Class Heavyweight Title This one wasn't so much about the match, but about the ending. However the match itself went down about as expected. Brody was dominant in the beginning, taking it to Bockwinkel and forcing him to take several sabbaticals to the floor, or sending him running for the ropes when things got to hot. The tides turned when Studd managed to trip up Brody, which allowed Nick to take over and tie big Bruiser up in some holds for a while. But it didn't take long before Brody came roaring back and had the champion on the defensive again. That leads us to the ending.... Brody scooped Bockwinkel up and paraded him around the ring in a one armed scoop slam, before sending him crashing to the mat. Brody then headed into the corner and looked ready to unleash the King Kong Knee Drop, but Big John Studd reached in and grabbed the foot of Brody. Bruiser wasn't having it this time, pivoting around and kicking Studd in the head with a furry boot. Brody quickly slid out of the ring and shoved Studd hard into the ringpost, and then headed back into the ring where Bockwinkel was starting to get up. Brody nailed him with a big boot that sent him right back down, and again positioned himself for the King Kong Knee Drop. Just as Brody was about to go for the move, another person hit the ring, and Brody was blasted in the side of the head with a furry boot! Referee Ron West immediately called for the bell! Winner, by Disqualification: Bruiser Brody Jim Ross: THAT'S NORD THE BARBARIAN! Nord blasted Brody in the side of the head with a boot to cause the DQ, then jumped on top of him and began to pummel him with lefts and rights. Soon Big John Studd was in the ring, and then both The Great Kabuki and The Spoiler were there. Soon all four men were stomping away at Brody, while on the other side of the ring, Gary Hart was helping Nick Bockwinkel to his feet. Bill Watts: I knew it! I knew it all along. Jim Ross: Hart and Bockwinkel appear to have been in cahoots this whole time, meanwhile four men are stomping the life out of Bruiser Brody. Wait a minute...here comes Jimmy Snuka. One of Brody's partners from Japan, Jimmy Snuka is coming to the ring!! Snuka hits the ring and starts throwing chops at Spoiler and Kabuki, but then Bockwinkel comes from across the ring and blasts Snuka in the back of the head with the World Class Title. Snuka crashes to the mat, and now it is five on two men who are both down. Then a roar from the Superdome signals that someone else is about to join the festivities! Bill Watts: Is that... Jim Ross: Oh My God.....STAN "THE LARIAT" HANSEN IS IN WORLD CLASS WRESTLING!!! Stan Hansen hits the ring and nearly decapitates The Great Kabuki with a Lariat! Nick Bockwinkel is quickly shoved out of the ring by Big John Studd, while Gary Hart also makes his exit. The Spoiler takes a swing at Hansen, but Stan ducks it and bounces off the ropes and absolutely levels The Spoiler with another huge Lariat. Nord eyes Hansen for a moment and then makes his exit, joining Hart, Bockwinkel, and Studd on the floor. Hansen is daring any of them to get in the ring, but once Nord and Studd collect Kabuki and Spoiler, the whole lot of them quickly make a hasty retreat to the locker room. The show goes to commercial with Stan Hansen checking on both Brody and Snuka. -Commercial Break- Jim Ross: Welcome back to Starrcade folks, and my goodness what we have just witnessed! Bill Watts: Brody had Bockwinkel beat for that title tonight Jim. Jim Ross: He certainly did Cowboy, but then Studd got involved, Nord the Barbarian, apparently under the employ of Gary Hart showed up and caused the DQ. The alliance between Bockwinkel and Hart that we've all suspected was revealed, and then when both Bruiser Brody and "Superfly" Snuka were being overwhelmed, Stan "The Lariat" Hansen showed up and cleaned house! Bill Watts: The Hart/Bockwinkel alliance may have five men, but the trio of Brody, Snuka, and Hansen just might be able to stand up to five men in a fight. Jim Ross: A war appears to be brewing for sure Cowboy. Speaking of which, it is time for our main event, and this war has been brewing for months. The Islanders have had several shots at The Midnight Express and the World Class Tag Team Titles, but each time Jim Cornette has had something up his sleeve to keep the titles with the Express. Tonight, they meet inside of a steel cage. If The Islanders don't win, they don't compete for the belts again as long as The Express are champions. Bill Watts: Jimmy Snuka was supposed to be at ringside with The Islanders to counteract Cornette, but after being on the wrong end of that beating, we don't know his status. 1 Fall, 60 Minute Time Limit -The Midnight Express (Bobby Eaton/Dennis Condrey) w/Jim Cornette vs The Islanders (Samu/Tonga Kid) w/Jimmy Snuka - AWA World Class Tag Team Titles - Steel Cage All four men began fighting in the cage as soon as the bell rang. The Islanders took the early advantage and battered Eaton and Condrey against the cage, and soon Condrey was bleeding like a faucet. The Midnight Express turned the tide with a couple of low blows and worked over The Islanders for a bit, including Bobby Eaton dropping a huge elbow that scored a two count on Samu. The Islanders eventually took back control, and a panicked Cornette was trying to shove his tennis racket under the cage to Eaton, but it wouldn't fit. The brawl continued and things were looking bleak for The Midnights. Cornette then began trying to toss the Tennis Racket over the top of the cage. The first time it didn't make it and nearly cracked him in the head on the way down, him sprawling on the ground to avoid it drew a huge laugh from the crowd. Undeterred, Cornette tossed it again, and this time managed to get it over the top and into the hands of Bobby Eaton. A little too late, Jimmy Snuka came charging down the aisle and Cornette saw him coming, which led to a foot chase around the cage that ended with Snuka catching Cornette by the jacket. Cornette was practically begging for his life, but Superfly was having none of it and flattened Cornette with a huge double chop. Meanwhile inside the cage, Eaton leveled Samu with the Tennis Racket, but then nearly had his head taken off by a Tonga Kid savate kick. A bloody Dennis Condrey grabbed Tonga from behind and was trying to drop him with a full nelson face slam, but Tonga managed to whip him over his shoulder. Tonga Kid grabbed the tennis racket and when Condrey started to get up, blasted him with it. He then waited for Eaton and did the same to him. Kid then scaled the turnbuckles and prepared to hit his patented Flying Splash, but decided to keep climbing and ascended to the top of the cage. Tonga Kid looked down at Snuka who nodded, and Tonga flashed the I Love You hand sign before soaring off the top of the cage and crashing down on Bobby Eaton! Referee Alfred Neely counted One, Two, Three!! Winners, and NEW World Class Tag Team Champions: The Islanders!! Jim Ross: MY GOD WHAT A SPLASH!!! THE ISLANDERS HAVE DONE IT!!! Bill Watts: Samu and The Tonga Kid are the new World Class Tag Team Champions!! Jimmy Snuka enters the cage with the tag belts and presents them to The Islanders. After a quick group embrace, The Islanders scale the cage and hoist the belts high in the air! Jim Ross: Ladies and Gentleman, Thank You so much for joining us for Starrcade. For Cowboy Bill Watts, I'm Jim Ross turning it over to our friends at Continental Wrestling!

-Thursday November 28th- -The Superdome- -New Orleans, LA- -Starrcade- Nearly 20,000 fans have packed the The Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana as AWA World Class Wrestling is set to present Starrcade! Television cameras are rolling, Jim Ross and Bill Watts are on commentary, Marc Lowrance is ready, let's head to the ring! 1) Brian Adias vs The Great Kabuki w/Gary Hart Kabuki dominated the early portion of the match, but Adias was able to make a comeback and looked like he was going to win at several points. The end came when Adias attempted to give Kabuki the Russian Leg Sweep too close to the ropes, Kabuki held on causing Adias to hit the mat, and when he got back up, Kabuki nailed him with a Thrust Kick for the 1,2,3. Winner: The Great Kabuki 2) Ken Patera/Kevin Von Erich/Chris Adams vs Kamala/The Grappler/Grappler II w/General Skandor Akbar & Friday A wild six man from start to finish that saw everyone involved mix it up with each other. The end came when Kamala and Kevin Von Erich brawled out of the ring, Chris Adams and The Grappler tumbled over the top rope and to the floor on a crossbody block, and that left Patera and Grappler II in the ring. The masked man attempted to load something into his mask and headbutt Patera, but Ken was able to duck it, and then hooked Grappler II in the Full Nelson. Once Ken began swinging him, Grappler II submitted in no time. Winners: Ken Patera, Kevin Von Erich, Chris Adams 3) Sam Houston vs Al Madril w/Hercules Hernandez - AWA Southwestern Title Things got interesting early in this one as Referee Ron West caught Hercules trying to trip Sam Houston and ejected the big man from ringside. Madril worked over Houston pretty good, but Sam caught Al bent over for a backdrop and drove him face first into the mat. After that Houston was on the offensive and Madril was in a lot of trouble. Houston went for his patented Bulldog, but Madril was able to shove him off and Houston collided with the referee. Houston went back after Madril, but then Sunshine hit the ring! She clobbered Houston over the head with her obviously loaded purse and he dropped like a ton of bricks. Madril shook the referee awake and then casually covered Houston for the One, Two, Three. After the match both Sunshine and Hercules celebrated with the new champion as Houston had to be carried from the ring. Winner, and new Southwestern Champion: Al Madril 4) The Movement (Shaska Whatley/Tiger Conway Jr) vs The Highwaymen (Bobby Duncum/Phil Hickerson) w/Paul Jones - AWA World Tag Team Titles The fact that the match went fifteen minutes before the referee disqualified both teams is really a compliment to the four men involved. This was a master class in tag team cheating from pretty much the moment it started, and the fact that it took that long for it to be thrown out shows just how good all of them are at it. Double teams, eye rakes, low blows, choking, you name a way of cheating, and I guarantee you they probably attempted it. The referee finally threw the whole thing out when Tiger Conway blasted Duncum in the head with one of the Tag Team Titles, which normally would have been a DQ win for the Highwaymen, but when Duncum was falling over he dropped the chain that he'd been choking Shaska Whatley with, so the ref just said screw it! Winner: Double Disqualification!

Awesome Show! Glad to see Tatum doing well, and a nice little fight with Kendall will be good for both of them. Gang is going to be a force to be reckoned with here in Rocky Mountain! Who is this Yellow Dog! Nice fight between him, Slater, and The Express! Sheik and Volkoff escape with the belts, but Team USA is gonna keep coming for them. Ladd regains the title against Blackjack. But he had a whole lot of enemies lined up and looking for him.

The real question about the Butcher and The Blade is.... Why did Allie turn heel and attack Cody? She was the only semi-over American female babyface they had (cause the Dentist ain't over), so I have to question that decision.

The inability of anyone in this company to deviate from the script in the least little bit these days is astonishing. I am still just baffled by NXT last week when Mia Yim got hit in the face by a ladder, and instead of just letting Io Shirai who was winning the match anyway, go ahead and win the match. They made her look like a total idiot wrestling the ladder off the mat for a solid 2 minutes, then falling over to sell, just so they could clean the blood off Mia and patch up the cut, so that they could do the remaining spots.

Good Fucking God, these camera cuts are making me dizzy and nauseous.

They just had to go with the tired 3 people in the ring at once, one person constantly not doing anything, WWE triple threat bullshit. They could have had some fun, anyone can tag anyone, strategically fucking with each other, well thought out matches with this format... But nah, this is WWE. Why would we try to do something coherent when we can have "Moments" and maybe say buzz words.

-Taped every Friday Night and aired to local affiliates in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri throughout the weekend and broadcast across the United States every Sunday Night at 6:05 PM Eastern Time on the Superstation WTBS, the American Wrestling Association proudly presents World Class Wrestling, coming to you this week from the Sportatorium in Dallas!- Jim Ross: Hello everyone and Welcome to AWA World Class Wrestling! My name is Jim Ross and I am joined as always by "Cowboy" Bill Watts, and we are just days away from Starrcade! Tickets are selling fast for the Superdome, and the action here in World Class is heating up. We have quite a show for you tonight, tell them about it Bill. Bill Watts: The main event is going to see The Youngbloods and The Highwaymen go best two out of three falls, and the winning team will move on to Starrcade to challenge The Movement for the AWA World Tag Team Titles. The man set to challenge The Spoiler for the Central States Title, Kerry Von Erich will be in action here tonight. "The Ugandan Giant" Kamala and the recently returned Alberto Madril are both set for in ring action, and right now we have six man tag team action involving The Islanders and "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka! Jim Ross: The Islanders are set to challenge The Midnight Express for the World Class Tag Team Title inside of a steel cage at Starrcade, and Snuka has obtained a one night managers license to make sure that Jim Cornette doesn't get involved again. Bill Watts: I invited that sissy to join us here tonight, but he told Bob Geigel that he and the Express were in intensive training for Starrcade. Jim Ross: What do you think that means? Bill Watts: Eaton and Condrey are probably working out while he sits around eating Twinkies! Jim Ross: Heh! Let's head to the ring! 1 Fall, 15 Minute Time Limit -Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka/The Islanders (Samu/Tonga Kid) vs Snake Brown/Bill Rathke/Jack Spade- As you can imagine, it was a bad night for the enhancement talent. Spade took the worst of it as he ended up being the last one trapped in the ring. A huge powerslam from Samu, followed by a flying splash from Samu, followed by the Superfly Splash from Snuka and he probably wasn't getting up until Thanksgiving. Winners: Jimmy Snuka/The Islanders Snuka and The Islanders made their way to Marc Lowrance in the interview area. After a lot of incoherent grunting by the two Islanders, Snuka spoke. Jimmy Snuka: Midnight Express....Da Islandahs coming for dose title belts. Jimmy Cornette….bruddah...you get in da way...Supahfly gonna put ya down! Both Samu and Tonga kid stuck out their tongues and flexed as Snuka flashed the ILY sign and then they all headed to the dressing room as Marc Lowrance looked slightly concerned! -Commercial Break- Jim Ross: We are back Ladies and Gentleman, and it would appear that Snuka and The Islanders are more than ready for The Midnight Express and Jim Cornette. Bill Watts: I'm sure Cornette is on the phone with his Mother begging for her to call for help. Jim Ross: Up next, we have Kerry Von Erich set for singles action. Two weeks ago he won a wild battle royal for the opportunity to challenge The Spoiler for the Central States Title at Starrcade. I have to question his decision to compete here tonight. Bill Watts: Kerry Von Erich is an athlete and a competitor. For him not to compete in front of these fans here in Dallas, you'd have to kill him. Think of this as a nice tune up for The Spoiler as he takes on another masked man. 1 Fall, 10 Minute Time Limit -Kerry Von Erich vs The Bounty Hunter- With the Sportatorium crowd cheering every move he made, Kerry made short work of his masked opponent. A big dropkick spelled the beginning of the end of the big man, and a Discus Punch put him down on his back. Von Erich could have ended it there, but he locked on The Iron Claw for good measure and that was all she wrote! Winner: Kerry Von Erich Kerry heads over and meets up with Marc Lowrance in the interview area. Marc Lowrance: A big win tonight Kerry, adds to your momentum headings into Starrcade where you will challenge The Spoiler for the Central States Title. Your thoughts? Kerry Von Erich: My thoughts Marc, are that The Spoiler had better be ready cause I'm coming to take that belt and bring it home to Texas! Marc Lowrance: The Spoiler is a long time veteran of this sport who also uses the Claw, and he has Gary Hart in his corner. Have you been doing any special training to prepare for this one? Kerry Von Erich: That Gary Hart has been a thorn in the side of the Von Erich family for a long time. But if The Spoiler thinks for a second that he is better at using The Iron Claw than a Von Erich, well Marc Lowrance he has another thing coming! Marc Lowrance: Kerry, good luck on Thanksgiving night. Kerry Von Erich: Thank You Marc, but with God, my brothers, and the people of Texas behind me, The Spoiler is the one who is gonna need luck! Kerry throws his fist up into the air and the roar of the Sportatorium is nearly deafening as he walks away from the interview area. -Commercial Break- Jim Ross: We're back folks, and up next we have one of the Cowboys favorite people, Al Madril set for action. Bill Watts: This arrogant loudmouth caused me trouble when he didn't even work here. I still can't get anyone to admit that they hired him. Jim Ross: Maybe you can ask him on the Fiesta Garden! Bill Watts: You know you can be replaced Jim! 1 Fall, 10 Minute Time Limit -Al Madril w/Hercules Hernandez vs Brody Chase- Madril is extra cocky this evening, slapping Chase in the face instead of locking up with him. An angry Chase charges Madril, but Al takes him over with a headlock and begins a wrestling lesson on the youngster. Madril takes several minutes just taking Brody from hold to hold, before finally locking him down in a Crucifix for the 1,2,3. Winner: Al Madril Madril and Hercules head over to the interview area, but before they can say a word, the place goes crazy as Sam Houston comes out to the ring wearing a pancho, a sombrero, and is followed by a Mariachi band playing the Mexican Hat Dance! Madril looks absolutely irate as Houston dances (badly) around ringside and finally comes to a stop near the interview area. Al Madril: You think this is funny Houston? Sam Houston: What's the matter Al, you can dish it out but you can't take it, muchacho? Al Madril: How about I have Hercules dish out a beating you'll never forget punk! Sam Houston: What's the matter? Can't fight your own battles.. Alberto? Madril balls up his fists and turns around to Hercules. Herc whispers something to him, and a smile crosses the face of Madril. Al Madril: You know what Sammy Boy, You're right. I need to fight my own battles. How about you and me settle this like men at Starrcade? Houston appears to ponder it for a moment, then a big smile crosses his face. Sam Houston: You got it...Pendejo! Houston jumps backwards as Madril lunges for him and instead collides with the Mariachi band! Houston leaves the arena laughing as Hercules holds Madril back from beating up the musicians who are now running for their lives! Jim Ross: Folks, it looks like the running of the bulls in here, we'll be right back!! -Commercial Break- Jim Ross: Welcome back to World Class Wrestling. We've gotten all of the musicians out of the arena, Al Madril and Hercules have headed to the back, and it looks like we have ourselves a Southwestern Championship match for Starrcade! Bill Watts: I hope Houston smacks that stupid grin off the face of Madril. Jim Ross: Well, I don't know about that, but I can tell you that young Shane Tylor won't be smiling because here comes Kamala.... 1 Fall, 10 Minute Time Limit -Kamala w/General Skandor Akbar & Friday vs Shane Tylor- Kamala was on Tylor as soon as the bell rang blasting him with huge overhand chops to the head. A Big Splash followed and the pin was never in doubt. Winner: Kamala Kamala looked to be setting up Tylor for a second splash, but Ken Patera hit the ring and began firing away at The Ugandan Giant with punches. Patera whipped Kamala into the ropes and to the shock of everyone, caught him with a huge powerslam!! Jim Ross: GOOD LORD COWBOY!! Patera just slammed Kamala like he was nothing!!! Before Patera had a chance to celebrate his feat, The Grapplers hit the ring and swarmed him. The two of them were laying quite the beat down on Patera, when Chris Adams and Kevin Von Erich hit the ring and evened the odds. Before long Patera, Von Erich and Adams had ran the whole of Devastation Incorporated out of the ring and were begging them to come back and fight. -Commercial Break- Jim Ross: We're back folks and during the break another match was made for Starrcade. You want to tell them about it Cowboy? Bill Watts: Well Jim, we are going to see six man tag team action as Devastation Incorporated of Kamala and The Grapplers will take on Ken Patera, Kevin Von Erich and Chris Adams. Jim Ross: That is going to be huge Bill. Now it's time to find out who The Movement is going to defend the AWA World Tag Team Titles against. Youngbloods, Highwaymen, Two out of Three Falls. Let's head to the ring!! Best 2 out of 3 Falls, 60 Minute Time Limit -The Highwaymen (Bobby Duncum/Phil Hickerson) w/Paul Jones vs The Youngbloods (Jay Youngblood/Mark Youngblood)- -Fall #1- The moment the bell sounded The Highwaymen charged across the ring and attacked The Youngbloods from behind. They swiftly dumped Jay out to the floor and got Mark into position for a Spike Piledriver. They executed the move and Duncum covered Mark for the One, Two, Three. The Highwaymen win Fall #1 As Hickerson and Duncum celebrated their quick victory, the referee was checking on Mark Youngblood. Jay Youngblood rolled back into the ring and was kneeling beside the referee and his brother as well. Referee Ron West began waving to the back and several members of the medical team came rushing to ringside. Jim Ross: Folks, it would appear that Mark Youngblood has been injured by that Spike Piledriver. We are going to take a break while the medical team checks him out. -Commercial Break- As we return from commercial, Mark Youngblood is being loaded onto a stretcher and taken out of the arena. Jay Youngblood walks up the aisle with the stretcher, but when Marc Lowrance starts to announce The Highwaymen as the winners of the match, Jay turns and runs back down the aisle. He hits the ring and begins to shake his head No at both Lowrance and Ron West. He speaks to West and we can hear the referee saying "Are you sure" several times, and each time Youngblood nods an affirmative. The referee shakes his head and calls for the bell! Jim Ross: Jay Youngblood is going to continue this match!! Bill Watts: Sometimes your heart can overrule your brain Jim. -Fall #2- Jay Youngblood charged Phil Hickerson and unleashed a barrage of chops on him that had him reeling. Youngblood fired him into the ropes and nailed him with a big back body drop. Youngblood charged into the corner and dropkicked Bobby Duncum off of the apron. Youngblood quickly scaled the ropes and nailed Phil Hickerson with The Flying Tomahawk and covered him for the 1,2,3!! The Youngbloods win Fall #2 Jim Ross: HE DID IT!! Bill Watts: Jay Youngblood manages to use speed and anger to pick up a fall against The Highwaymen, but he still has to win another one!! -Fall #3- Youngblood attempted to use speed and deception to pick up another quick one, going after Hickerson again, but this time Duncum grabbed a handful of hair from the apron and jerked Youngblood to the ground. After that The Highwaymen went to work on Jay, making frequent tags, double teaming at every opportunity, and drilling him with high impact offense. It looked to be all but over for Youngblood, until Duncum decided to take Jay into the corner where Mark should be and started yelling "Where's your partner boy!!" That fired Jay up, and he started throwing elbows into the stomach of Duncum until he released the headlock. Then the chops started coming hot and heavy until Duncum was trying to retreat. Youngblood grabbed two handfuls of hair, and smashed Duncum into the turnbuckle. He then climbed up and began dropping punches onto the face of Duncum. Hickerson came running, but Youngblood apparently heard him as he pivoted off the ropes at just the right moment and nailed the running Hickerson with a huge Tomahawk Chop between the eyes!! Youngblood grabbed both Highwaymen, and gave them a big Double Noggin' Knocker as the crowd went crazy! Hickerson wobbled several steps and fell between the ropes to the floor, while Duncum did a full turn and toppled onto his back. Youngblood jumped onto him for the cover, but the referee wasn't counting because he was distracted by the presence of Paul Jones on the apron. Youngblood abandoned the pin and went over to where Jones and Ron West were arguing. Jay Youngblood shoved Ron West out of the way, and absolutely blasted Paul Jones with a huge right hand that sent him off the apron and to the floor. However, the object that came out of his left hand and went sailing into the ring went unnoticed by both Jay Youngblood and Ron West. Bobby Duncum saw it, grabbed it, and had it in his hand in a flash. Satisified that Jones was no longer a factor, Youngblood went back to Duncum and began to pull him up by the hair. A fist to the midsection stopped Youngblood in his tracks. Duncum then got to his feet, and drilled the head of Youngblood into the mat with a DDT. Duncum covered Youngblood, and at the same time slid the foreign object out of the ring on the opposite side of where the referee was counting. Winners: The Highwaymen Jim Ross: You've got to be kidding me Cowboy!! Jay Youngblood almost single handidly took out both of these guys, but whatever that was that Duncum hit him with ended this match. That DDT was just for show. Bill Watts: You are absolutely right Jim, but unfortunately Ron West didn't see it, and the decision of the Referee is final. The Highwaymen move on to face The Movement at Starrcade for the AWA World Tag Team Titles. Jim Ross: Ladies and Gentleman, if you can join us on Thanksgiving Night at the Superdome for Starrcade, we encourage you to do so. If not, please be sure to tune in to the Superstation WTBS to catch all of the action.
