World Class drops: Bob Bradley, Omar Atlas, and Pete Sanchez and picks up: Mr. Pogo, Ted Allen, and The Mongol (Apologies, I know I just dropped Mongol and picked up Atlas and Sanchez like 2 days ago, but inspiration struck me!) Also Jim Cornette and The Italian Stallion are missing from my roster

Holy Crap! What a show! The Gang makes an immediate impact and lays the squash on Jimmy Golden. Another masked man distracts the mysterious masked man to give Armstrong and Street the win, this is getting confusing!! Al Madril is a dirty heel! Big win right off the bat as he picks up the Mississippi Title. Glad I sent him your way, as you are using him way better than I did! Nightmares get the shave job and I bet the 41k in attendance were absolutely loving it. Brad wins the Lightweight Title! Awesome! Freebirds take down the Army, and Gordy busts out the SPIKE!! to give the Humongous his first loss!! A Road Warriors feud with Devastation Inc could be real interesting and real ugly....looking forward to it! Bullet Bob beats Flair!!! Holy Shit! Wasn't expecting that at all!! That turned June Jam into a party!! WOW! Great Show Dude! and one comment about your TV show, it's a good thing that Frank Reynolds took the fall in that tag match, because the Blue Cyclone is the meanest wrassler the ring has ever known!!

You get the feeling that Steve and Denny might not be so buddy buddy by the end of Match 3....I do.... Dream Machine takes advantage of Wells being without his manager and picks up a big win. A draw between the Jayhawks and the Wrestlings, and I am already looking forward to the rematch. I love me some Jayhawks! Santana gets a nice win over Roop, that has to put him in title contention, but if we know Roop, he'll be looking for revenge. Tully, Tully, Tully. Never bet against him. Guerrero may have won the shot, but winning the belt is a whole other story. Nice try kid! Oh man, Lawler is gonna be pissed. Not only did he get screwed, but now there is a pretender to the throne. This is gonna get ugly. The Fabs finally get the belts, then the former champs split in the most violent way possible. Love It! Loved all of it. Now we get Decimation vs the Fabs, and you get a nice Ayala vs Atlas feud as well. Perfectly booked! Funker and Nicky have another good one, with more from Roop and Tito. Terry comes out on top, but it seems he doesn't appreciate Mr. Santana. Tito better watch himself or he may see a side of Terry that TNT hasn't gotten a look at yet. Cocoa picks up a big win in a violent win to close out the show! Already excited for Summer Blast and don't know a damn match on the card!!!!

"The Body" shows up and immediately there is a new threat to both of the singles titles. Any combination of the Rougeau Brothers have to be a huge threat to the Tag Titles Good stuff with Steele attacking Magnum backstage! Backlund/Snuka in the cage at the Garden! Oh man, shit just got real!!

-World Class Trade List- Chick Donovan Scott Casey Black Bart Ron Bass Kim Duk (Tiger Chung Lee)

-Broadcasting live to our local affiliates in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri, as well as in Syndication across these great United States, the American Wrestling Association proudly presents World Class Wrestling, coming to you this week from the Irish McNeil Boys Club in Shreveport, Louisiana!- Jim Ross: Hello everyone and welcome back to AWA World Class Wrestling! I'm Jim Ross, and I'll be joined momentarily by "Cowboy" Bill Watts and we are back in the thick of things tonight after a well earned vacation following Star Wars. So let's head down to ringside where The Cowboy is waiting with a special announcement! We cut to Bill Watts standing at ringside holding a microphone. "Ladies and Gentleman, Thank You for joining us here tonight and Thank You for helping us make Memorial Day Star Wars a huge success. It was such a success in fact that I am here tonight to announce that we are gonna do it again! On the Fourth of July, at the St. Louis Arena in St Louis, Missouri we are going to present Independence Day Star Wars! Just like before it will feature all of the biggest names from AWA World Class Wrestling, the AWA Champions will be coming in, and tonight I am here to announce that we will crown a new champion for AWA World Class that night. Each week we run shows in six great states right here in the central part of these United States, and we've decided to make a new title to represent the people that come out to support us each and every week, and to represent those states that are the lifeblood of AWA World Class. Beginning tonight, and for the next four weeks we will have qualifying matches until we have eight men set to compete. Then at Independence Day Star Wars, we will have a one night tournament and the winner will become the first AWA World Class Central States Champion. Again, we want to thank everyone for their support, we look forward to seeing you at the arena's and that's enough talking, let's get to some action!" The crowd cheers for The Cowboy as Watts hands the microphone to Marc Lowrance and heads for the announce position. Jim Ross: Big news from the Cowboy tonight. Another Star Wars, and a new belt coming to World Class, the Central States Title. Now, like he said, let's head to the ring for some action! 1 Fall, 10 Minute Time Limit -Jose Lothario vs Tiger Conway Jr- Since turning on his partner several weeks back, Tiger Conway has become a different person. His afro is picked out as big as he can make it. He has begun growing a Fu Manchu mustache, and his usual blue trunks have been replaced with camouflage pants. A black glove and sunglasses (which he thankfully removes when the bell rings) round out his new look. When the bell rings he is much more aggressive, attacking Lothario immediately and relentlessly. Eventually Lothario started to mount a comeback, but Conway managed to get the ref out of position and kicked Jose hard in the groin. A simple roll up, with a hook of the tights brought an end to this one. Winner: Tiger Conway Jr. As Conway was celebrating his victory, Lothario was trying to tell Referee Alfred Neely what happened with the low blow. As Lothario was doing so, two large African American men dressed in military fatigues hit the ring and clobbered Lothario from behind. The slightly smaller one scooped Jose up and drilled him into the mat with a huge powerslam. The bigger one then bounced off the ropes and dropped onto Lothario with a huge diving headbutt, then when he rolled out of the way, the other nailed Jose with a big splash. As the two massive men came together in the center of the ring, Conway walked into the center of them and they all touched fists before walking out together to massive boo's. -Commercial Break- Jim Ross: Welcome back folks, before the break we saw Jose Lothario get cheated out of a victory by Tiger Conway and then get destroyed by two men dressed in camouflage. We have no idea who they were, but Conway certainly seemed friendly enough with them. Bill Watts: The change in attitude from Conway over the last few weeks has been something to see. I'll admit that I've seen those two men before, but they didn't look or act like that when I knew them. Jim Ross: Up next we have the first qualifying match for the Central States Title Tournament. We'll see Chick Donovan take on a newcomer to World Class, the masked Grappler. Bill Watts: Donovan came close to being the first Television Champion, and now has his sights set on this belt. But The Grappler is a crafty veteran, and he is a dangerous addition to the locker room here in World Class. 1 Fall, 30 Minute Time Limit -Chick Donovan vs The Grappler- Donovan came out fast and tried to dazzle The Grappler with some quick arm drags and a big dropkick right off the bat. Donovan whipped Grappler into the ropes and went for another dropkick, but The Grappler held onto the ropes and Donovan crashed hard to the mat. After that The Grappler went to work, keeping Donovan on the mat with a series of wear down holds and driving him into the mat with slams and suplexes that had Donovan clutching his neck and back. Finally, Grappler drilled Chick with a huge Lariat and cradled him for the three count and the victory. Winner: The Grappler Marc Lowrance is waiting for The Grappler as he exits the ring. Marc Lowrance: Grappler, welcome to AWA World Class wrestling, and congratulations on your victory which now qualifies you to compete in the tournament for the Central States Title at the upcoming Star Wars. The Grappler: One down, seven men to go Marc Lowrance. I've wrestled one match in this company and I am closer to gold than most people get in their lives. There is a reason for that Marc Lowrance. They got a name for you when you're the world's greatest wrestler. They don't call you a great wrestler, they call you The Grappler. Beat Me, if you can. The Grappler walks away as Marc Lowrance shrugs his shoulders and we cut back to the announce position. Jim Ross: A man of few words, but an impressive win from The Grappler tonight Bill. Bill Watts: For sure Jim. Let's take a quick break, and when we come back the new AWA World Class Tag Team Champions, The Blackjacks are going to join Marc Lowrance for an interview. -Commercial Break- When we come back from break, Marc Lowrance is standing at ringside with Blackjack Mulligan and Blackjack Lanza. Both men are in black trunks, black vests, black cowboy hats, and have the World Class Tag Titles strapped around their waists. Marc Lowrance: Ladies and Gentleman, joining me now are the new AWA World Class Tag Team Champions, The Blackjacks! Gentleman, how does it feel! Blackjack Lanza: I have to tell you, it feels great. It'd been a while since we rode together, and a lot of people wrote me off as being finished, as being over the hill. But I'm here to tell you that even if this is our last ride, we plan on making it one hell of a ride! Blackjack Mulligan: I'd been out knocking heads in California for a while and I knew my partner here was teaching a couple kids some things down this way, but when the time came and he needed some back up against those so called cowboys Bart and Bass, he knew I was only a call away. Now, we....who's this.... On the other side of Marc Lowrance, stands a man wearing a bright red suit jacket with black trousers, a black shirt, and a pink striped tie. He is holding a tennis racket and has a look of sheer boredom on his face as the Blackjacks talk. Marc Lowrance: Can I help you? "Well I was just wondering if these two were gonna ramble on like a couple of Alzheimer patients all day, or if they were actually going to defend those tag team titles any time soon?" Marc Lowrance: Who are you? "Who am I? Well good lord Marc Lowrance, you really are just a microphone stand aren't you. Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Jim Cornette and I am the manager of the best tag team in wrestling today, The Midnight Express. I was sitting in the back listening to these two ramble on about the glory days of Gunsmoke and The Rifleman, and figured I'd come on out here and introduce myself so they'd know the man who was managing the men who would be taking those shiny gold belts away from them, as soon as they decided that the osteoporosis had let up enough to allow them to step into the ring again!" Blackjack Mulligan grabs Cornette by the jacket and Cornette immediately starts begging. Blackjack Mulligan: I don't care who you are you little pipsqueak! You talk to us like that again, and I'll break you in half! Blackjack Lanza: You think your Midnighters or whatever they're called are so good. We'll fight them right here, right now for these belts. The Blackjacks ain't afraid of nobody! Mulligan lets Cornette go, and shoots a backwards glance at Lanza before turning his attention back to a retreating Cornette. The camera catches Cornette's face turn from a look of concern to a "I got what I came for" smile before he disappears backstage. Blackjack Mulligan: You heard the man pipsqueak, bring 'em out, and we'll put 'em down. The Blackjacks head into the ring to the cheers of the crowd. -Commercial Break- Jim Ross: Ladies and Gentleman, welcome back to AWA World Class. We've gotten word during the commercial break, that this is going to happen! The Blackjacks are going to defend the World Class Tag Team Titles against this Jim Cornette's Midnight Express and it's happening RIGHT NOW! Bill Watts: This little runt Cornette has been slinking around our business for several years now, and there have been several teams called the Midnight Express, so I don't know exactly who is about to come out here. But when it comes to fighting an unknown commodity, there have never been two tougher men than The Blackjacks, so they likely aren't the least bit worried. Jim Cornette comes back out from the dressing room with a microphone Jim Cornette: Ladies and Gentleman, please welcome the next AWA World Class Tag Team Champions, Loverboy Dennis and Beautiful Bobby...THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS!! 1 Fall, 30 Minute Time Limit -The Blackjacks (Blackjack Mulligan/Blackjack Lanza) vs The Midnight Express (Bobby Eaton/Dennis Condrey) w/Jim Cornette- AWA World Class Tag Team Titles Condrey and Eaton hit the ring in matching silver jackets, with red tights/trunks. Cornette meanwhile is a whirlwind of trash talk and motion at ringside. Mulligan starts the match and gets the best of both members of the Express, but they are quick to tag and not let themselves get worked over too much. Eventually Mulligan is getting the best of Bobby and tags in Lanza, who maintains control for a few minutes, until Condrey enters the ring and clips the leg. Eaton tags and Dennis goes to work on the fallen Lanza. The Midnights keep Lanza in their corner and relentlessly work him over with high impact moves and frequent tags and score several two counts. Mulligan finally has enough and charges into the ring and a brawl breaks out among all four men. As referee Alfred Neely is trying to separate Dennis Condrey from Mulligan and push Mulligan out of the ring, Jim Cornette climbs onto the apron and blasts Blackjack Lanza in the back with the tennis racket. Lanza collapses and Eaton is quick to cover him. Neely turns around and quickly drops down to count the cover, as Condrey charges back across the ring and stops Mulligan from breaking up the pin. Winners, and NEW AWA World Class Tag Team Champions: The Midnight Express (Bobby Eaton/Dennis Condrey) Jim Ross: Of all the low down... As Mulligan stands over a recovering a Lanza in the ring, Bobby and Dennis are leaving with the belts and Cornette has stopped by the announce position. Jim Cornette: Looks like Hoss and Little Joe didn't get all the cattle to the auction or something. I don't know, Mother never allowed me to watch that low brow entertainment! The rodeo is closed! The last ride is over! You have new Tag Team Champions Bill Watts, and they are the best tag team in the whole world! You're Welcome!! Cornette reaches out and flicks the cowboy hat of Bill Watts then laughs and joins Condrey and Eaton as they head to the back. Bill Watts: That little son of a bi... Jim Ross: BILL! Bill Watts: Let's go to commercial. -Commercial Break- As the show comes back from commercial break, "Dr. D" David Schultz is standing next to Marc Lowrance at ringside. Marc Lowrance: David Schultz, we don't have you scheduled to be out here, we are supposed to be starting our main event. David Schultz: I don't care what you have scheduled, I don't care about your main event. What I care about is the fact that I've beaten everybody that's been put in front of me. I've beaten everybody I've stepped in this ring with. Ya understand that? The only loss on my record since I come into World Class wrestling is supposedly to The Junkyard Dog, and everybody whose been paying any kind of attention knows that one was crooked. I should already be the champion. I should have won the tournament. But Dr. D isn't one to come out here and cry and whine about it, so I asked for my rematch. Did I get it. Hell No, I didn't. John Studd got it, and he didn't get the job done neither. So now I am coming out here in front of the world and I am calling out The Junkyard Dog! Marc Lowrance: The Junkyard Dog isn't here tonight. David Schultz: Well ain't that convenient. Marc Lowrance: He was given the night off to visit his family. David Schultz: Is that his Daddy in jail, or his Granny in the fields? The Louisiana crowd does not like that one as the boo's come hot and heavy. Marc Lowrance: I don't think that's appropriate. David Schultz: Oh, now you wanna talk about what's not appropriate, huh? What's not appropriate is the so called champion of World Class sitting home acting like a coward! What's not appropriate is Junkyard Dog ducking Dr. D! So listen up BOY, and I'll speak real slow so that you can understand me.....I..want..to..fight..you..for..that..title! That's a challenge BOY. Now you just gotta prove to all your people that you got the guts to accept it. Schultz shoves the microphone into the chest of Marc Lowrance and heads for the back to a heavy round of boo's Jim Ross: First we have The Midnight Express cheating to win the Tag Team Titles on their first night in the company. Then we have this Jim Cornette getting you all riled up Cowboy, and now we have David Schultz pushing the lines of decency. Bill Watts: Firstly, let me apologize for my slip of the tongue a little earlier. That little weasel Jim Cornette is the kind of guy you just want to punch, and unfortunately as long as I am sitting at this table, I am prohibited from punching anyone. Secondly, everyone at AWA World Class would like to apologize for the remarks just made by David Schultz. But I am sure once Junkyard Dog returns from his vacation, he will make Schultz pay for everything he just said and then some. Jim Ross: Alright Cowboy, this night has already been wild, so let's head down to the ring for our main event. Another qualifying match for entry into the Central States Title Tournament. 1 Fall, 30 Minute Time Limit -Ron Bass vs Kevin Von Erich- Bass attacked Kevin before the bell and controlled the opening minutes of the match. Bass used his size advantage and a series of wear down holds to keep Kevin on the mat and managed a two count off of a powerslam. Bass attempted his Gourdbuster finisher, but Kevin was able to reverse the momentum and rolled Bass into a small package, that got a count of two. It was the shift in the match that Kevin needed to assume control and he began to work Bass over with punches and kicks, and then rocked him with a huge monkey flip out of the corner. A big dropkick caught Bass flush, and Kevin would go on to control the remainder of the match. He finally caught Bass with a turning flying crossbody from the top and David Manning counted the 1,2,3. Winner: Kevin Von Erich Jim Ross: Kevin Von Erich joins The Grappler as the first two men to advance to the Central States Title Tournament. Bill Watts: Two matches down, and six more will occur in the coming weeks as we set the field. Jim Ross: We also saw new Tag Team Champions crowned tonight as The Midnight Express of Bobby Eaton and Dennis Condrey along with their manager Jim Cornette have taken the tag team division by storm. Bill Watts: I am sure The Blackjacks will have something to say about that. Jim Ross: That's it for tonight folks. We'll see you next week!

Bad News and The Brain!! I Love It! I have to say that I am really enjoying the split that you have going on here. It nicely divides up your rosters, gives you a nice us vs them story to play with, and probably makes it easier for you to keep track of things. Good stuff all around man!

Dead Man Limping....

World Class sends Jody Hamilton and Roger Smith to Pacific for Elijah Akeem and Kareem Muhammad

This is the most amazing thing about modern day WWE to me. The company literally did this exact thing for no less than 30 years, and then sometime in the early-2000's it's like they all looked at one of those Men in Black memory flasher gimmicks and decided to throw everything they knew about running the company out the window. Either that or Brock Lesnar deciding to be a Minnesota Viking truly did such a number on Vince's psyche, that he was willing to never create another star and change the way business had always been done, just to ensure his feelings would never be hurt again.

Loving your Backlund promo's. Also enjoying the unexpected push for Horowitz and Fleming.

World Class sends: Michael Hayes, Terry Gordy, Buddy Roberts, One Man Gang, Al Madril, Skandor Akbar, and Sunshine to Southeastern sends: Jimmy Garvin, Len Denton, Dennis Condrey, Jody Hamilton, Roger Smith, Jim Cornette, and Precious

Well, well, well....business just picked up here in Southeastern!! Akbar and Fuji together! Good Lord, it doesn't get much more devious than that!! The Masked Thunderbolt being Patterson hiding his age makes a ton of sense. I am going with that! I hope the Adrian Street/Rip Rogers feud is long term, cause that is a fantastic pairing! What a freaking entrance for The Birds! I can't wait to see what you do with them. I am very excited to see them as babyfaces here in SECW. Awesome stuff man. I guess I better go make a post in the roster thread with our mega trade!!

Wow! Gino Hernandez steps forward and shows that he is holding all of the cards here in ACCW, while the others are barely even in the game. I can't wait to see Greg Valentine's reaction to this. Good Shit Man!

The Krusher Darsow/Boris Zhukov for Jay/Mark Youngblood trade is officially in effect as of today. (These changes have already been made on the roster page) Also, all effective today.... World Class sends Johnny Mantell to ACCW for Kendall Windham World Class sends Brett Wayne Sawyer to Superstars for Brian Adias World Class sends The Batten Twins to Worldwide for Jay/Jules Strongbow

You certainly pack a ton of action into every episode of TV! Denny makes a nice debut, and I will certainly be rooting for him against Steve O in the Best of 3. Link makes short work of an opponent, and then puts Stack in his place. I like it! The Fabs and the Champs have a little bit of a tense moment before the big match. Ayala and Atlas have had a nice little run, but I gotta think tag team experience is gonna win out this time. Tully shows us all again who the smartest man in TNT is! Guerrero may have some momentum going his way, but Mr. Blanchard is always two steps ahead! The intermingled feuds of Lawler/HTM and Wells/Dream Machine have been nicely done. Looking forward to a couple big singles matches at the upcoming show. So glad to see the Jayhawks together here in TNT, and Wrestling 2 and 3 are a fantastic pair you've put together. Loved the promo, and I'm excited for this match. Have to think the winners of this one, will be right up there with Decimation in line for a title shot. Great main event! Loved the ending, and I can see hot headed Terry getting mad at Tito in my head perfectly. The Garden card is stacked, and at least the top 7 or better matches could realistically main event any show on your circuit. Crazy stuff, and I can't wait to see what goes down!

Did you see who this country elected President? This isn't surprising.

-Broadcasting live to our local affiliates in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri, as well as in Syndication across these great United States, the American Wrestling Association proudly presents World Class Wrestling, coming to you this week from the Sportatorium in Dallas!- The camera fades in too Marc Lowrance who is standing by the ring in an empty Sportatorium. Marc Lowrance: Hello everyone and welcome to a special edition of AWA World Class Wrestling. I'm Marc Lowrance and this week I am coming to you from a very empty Sportatorium in Dallas, Texas. After the big week we had in Texas with Memorial Day Star Wars, and a few special shows the days following, the World Class front office has given the wrestlers some well deserved time off. So tonight, we are going to recap some of the action from Star Wars, and I am going to bring you some exclusive matches that took place this past Wednesday night when World Class made a special stop at the Lubbock Memorial Coliseum in Lubbock, Texas. So first up, let's take a look at newcomer DJ Peterson, who made quite a mark at Star Wars when he won the battle royal to get a shot at Hercules Hernandez and the Television Championship, and then took the champion to his absolute limit and a time limit draw. It was a very impressive showing on his first night in the company, and this well built young man obviously has a very bright future ahead of him. Taped 5-29 in Lubbock 1 Fall, 10 Minute Time Limit -DJ Peterson vs Bob Bradley- Bradley charges the newcomer to open the match, and Peterson plants his foot and puts Bob down with a shoulderblock. Peterson scoops Bradley up and plants him with a bodyslam. Peterson briefly clamps on a chinlock to wear Bradley down a little further, then sends him into the ropes and catches him with a dropkick that is pretty nice for a guy DJ's size. Finally, Peterson heads up top and catches Bradley with a Missile Shoulderblock. The pinfall was never in doubt. Winner: DJ Peterson -Commercial Break- Marc Lowrance: Welcome back everyone! Before the break we saw impressive newcomer DJ Peterson pick up a victory. As I mentioned before, at Star Wars he won the battle royal and challenged Hercules Hernandez for the Television Title. That match ended in a draw, but when it's your first night in the company, winning a battle royal and taking the champion to the limit is quite a debut! Speaking of Star Wars, we are now going to take you back and show you some of what happened when Ron Bass and Black Bart defended the World Class Tag Team Titles against The Blackjacks! The match started off with all the men just brawling and the referee nearly disqualified everyone. One of the heads of World Class, Bob Geigel made an appearance and declared that the match would be held under Tornado rules. Let's see how things went down. Taped 5-27 in Dallas 1 Fall, 60 Minute Time Limit -Black Bart/Ron Bass vs The Blackjacks (Blackjack Mulligan/Blackjack Lanza) - AWA World Class Tag Team Titles- ...all four men were all over the place, in the ring, out of the ring, in the aisle, briefly in the crowd. Mulligan choked Bart with a camera cable, Bass hit Lanza with a chair, Mulligan tossed Bass over the timekeepers table, Lanza found a wrench under the ring and clocked Bart with it. This thing was utter chaos from start to finish. The end came when Lanza and Bass were brawling out on the floor, and Mulligan had Bart alone inside the ring. Bart nailed Mulligan with a clothesline, and then ascended the ropes for his Legdrop. But he wasted time yelling something at the crowd and it allowed Mulligan to get up and swipe Bart's legs out from underneath him. Bart felt crotch first on the top rope, and then Mulligan positioned him from there into a piledriver! Mulligan covered and that was it! Winners, and NEW AWA World Class Tag Team Champions: The Blackjacks! -Commercial Break- Marc Lowrance: Welcome back folks! We just saw new World Class Tag Team Champions crowned in The Blackjacks! That was at our big Memorial Day Star Wars show. That night also saw the debut of a new team here in World Class known as The Moondogs. There isn't a whole lot I can say, they kind of need to be seen. So let's head to some more action from our big show in Lubbock. Taped 5-29 in Lubbock 1 Fall, 10 Minute Time Limit -The Moondogs (Spot/Cujo) vs Mike Bond/Mike Reed- This was a mugging as Spot and Cujo hit the ring and just assaulted Reed and Bond for a good thirty seconds before the Referee finally managed to get Cujo to leave the ring. Spot beat on Reed for a while longer, and nearly got DQ'ed for biting him. He hit a nice powerslam on him before tagging out to Cujo. The three hundred and fifty pounder entered the ring and charged at Bond, knocking him to the floor. Cujo then ran across the ring and nailed Reed with a Big Splash! That was the end. Winners: The Moondogs Marc Lowrance: My goodness, those Moondogs are just a brutal and devastating team. The Blackjacks and everyone else in the tag team division had better be on high alert with them around. Now, speaking of Devastation, things did not go well for Devastation Inc at Star Wars. Let's look now at the closing minutes of the match between Big John Studd and Junkyard Dog for the World Class Title.... Taped 5-27 in Dallas 1 Fall, 60 Minute Time Limit -The Junkyard Dog vs Big John Studd w/Skandor Akbar - AWA World Class Title- ...Finally Studd went for the Reverse Bearhug, but the Dog caught him with a headbutt. JYD used another, and another, and another and the big man was staggered again. JYD reached down and scooped Studd up and caught him with the Powerslam! Referee David Manning counted One, Two, Thr... Studd kicked out! JYD was calling for another Powerslam when Skandor Akbar got up onto the ring apron. JYD wasted no time in grabbing him and was drawing back to punch him when David Manning got caught with the Dog's elbow! As Manning went down, Big John Studd latched onto JYD from behind. Akbar began to fumble with something in his hands, and launched a FIREBALL!! But The Junkyard Dog ducked! The Fireball caught Big John Studd square in the face!! JYD quickly headbutts Akbar who tumbles to the floor. Dog grabs Studd who is holding his face and lifts him up for another Powerslam. Manning, still holding his nose, hears the impact of Studd hitting the mat, and drops down for the count. One, Two, Three!! Winner: The Junkyard Dog As JYD is heading up the aisle celebrating with the fans, Skandor Akbar climbs into the ring to check on Big John Studd. Studd is sitting up, and is touching his face, apparently making sure everything is still there. Akbar comes over and kneels down next to him and begins to speak. The look on Studd's face says it all seconds before he reaches over and wraps his massive hand around the throat of Akbar. Studd gets to his feet, still holding onto the neck of Akbar, then scoops him up into a huge bodyslam. Studd walks around the ring with Akbar for about fifteen seconds before slamming him in the center, then drops a huge elbow into the center of his chest. Studd shakes his head and then makes his way to the back to a smattering of cheers. -Commercial Break- Marc Lowrance: Hello again folks, as you just saw before the break, The Junkyard Dog is still World Class Heavyweight Champion. Skandor Akbar accidentally tossed fire into the face of his own client Big John Studd, and after the match Studd made him pay for it. Usually Akbar bombards the offices of World Class with demands on a daily basis, but no one has heard from him since that incident. So, Thank You Mr. Studd! Now folks, before we get to our final match of the evening we need to talk about one more match that happened at Star Wars. As I am sure you have all heard by now, The Von Erich's and Ric Flair were victorious and The Fabulous Freebirds are officially out of AWA World Class Wrestling. So we take you now to two night later in Lubbock, where The Russians who were unsuccessful in their attempt to unseat The Road Warriors for the AWA World Tag Team Title stormed the ring and had a challenge to make! We cut to Krusher Darsow and Boris Zhukov in the ring. Zhukov is holding the chain menacingly, while Darsow has the microphone, and the Lubbock crowd is boo'ing them unmercifully. Krusher Darsow: ALL OF YOU PEOPLE SHUT UP!! We are sick and tired of being disrespected! We are sick and tired of being and cheated! Comrade Zhukov and I were cheated out of the World Class Tag Title tournament! We were cheated by The Islanders! At Star Wars, we were cheated by The Road Warriors! But all you idiots want to do is cheer for the Von Erichs!! The crowd pops huge for the mention of the Von Erichs, and the cheers get even bigger when Kevin and Kerry come walking down the aisle and get into the ring. Krusher Darsow: I get it! You Von Erich's think your hot stuff right now cause you ran The Freebirds outta here. Well, I'd like to see you do that to us! Kevin Von Erich: Okay, let's do it. Losers Leave World Class... RIGHT NOW!! The crowd goes nuts! The Russians nod in agreement, and the bell is rung. Taped 5-29 in Lubbock 1 Fall, 60 Minute Time Limit -Kerry Von Erich/Kevin Von Erich vs The Russians (Krusher Darsow/Boris Zhukov)- LOSERS LEAVE TOWN A solid back and forth tag team match for fifteen minutes, then it broke down when Zhukov hit Kevin with a blow blow when David Manning was out of position. A fired up Kerry came into the ring and laid out Zhukov with a huge Discus Punch. Manning was herding Kerry out of the ring, when Darsow entered and blasted the recovering Kevin in the face with the Russian chain, and placed Zhukov on top of him. The Texas crowd was nuclear as Manning turned around and saw Zhukov on top of Kevin. Manning dropped down and counted One, Two, Thr..KICK OUT!! A huge reaction from the crowd as Kevin somehow managed to get his shoulder up. Both men began to crawl toward their partners, and both got the tag at the same time. A fired up Kerry came in and peppered Darsow with rights and left until he was sagging against the ropes. Kerry whipped Darsow into the ropes and caught him with a huge dropkick. A Discus Punch followed, and Darsow crashed to the canvas. Kerry held up his hand to signal for the Iron Claw. A bloody Kevin entered the ring and tackled Zhukov who was coming in on the other side. Both Von Erich's applied the Iron Claw to their Russian adversaries. After several seconds Manning checked the arm of Darsow and it fell three times. Winners: Kevin and Kerry Von Erich Krusher Darsow and Boris Zhukov must leave AWA World Class Wrestling!! Marc Lowrance: There you have it Ladies and Gentleman! The Von Erichs picked up another huge win in the main event in Lubbock, and The Russians follow The Freebirds out of World Class wrestling! That'll do it for us this week here at AWA World Class. The wrestlers are going to enjoy a well earned week off, and we'll see you back here next week for more exciting action. This is Marc Lowrance saying Good Night Everyone! (AWA World Class will not be running house shows this week to give the wrestlers a well earned break, and to restructure things a bit. I'll be blowing up the Roster thread with trades this weekend! Then I am on vacation next week (Finally!) but will still be reading things from my phone!)

Haven't seen Double or Nothing, and I haven't listened to the Cornette podcast. But knowing how stuck in the business Jim is, are there chances that Jim made the comments he made thinking that this was just some dude playing an Adrian Adonis gimmick and had no idea that the guy actually lives this lifestyle? Again, not trying to defend, genuinely don't know, just curious.
