I always love them - especially the heel hosted ones that end in a brawl 3 out of 4 times. The (kayfabe) promotions never seem to figure out it's a bad idea.

Since my shows take place on Wednesdays in 1985-time and Monday in 2017-time, and Monday is always super busy, I am probably going to be posting these time-travel ahead of time shows fairly often. I figure better early than late. WWC Superestrellas de la Lucha Libre 6/5/85 Taped in: Mayaguez, PR -- Cold Open : VTR from a house show last weekend -- We open on a ringside camera shot of Carlos Colon and Victor Jovica taking on Al Madril and Chicky Starr at a house show from last weekend. Colon is theatrically challenging Chicky to get in the ring with him, but Chicky is stalling on the outside - when Madril waffles Colon from behind with a clothesline. Jovica charges in, and a brawl erupts between Madril and Jovica while Colon chases Starr around the ring - fade into the opening credits .. -- In the arena -- Rickin Sanchez welcomes us to the show. Rickin describes the action we saw and says that while Colon got some licks in on Chicky, he is desperate to get his Universal Title back - we’re shown a clip of Carlos Colon losing the Universal Title to Chicky Starr - with plenty of help from Al Madril - and then Rickin promises us that we’ll hear from all these men tonight. We’re also going to see Carlos Colon back in action against “Bulldog” Bob Brown, and Victor Jovica putting the Caribbean title on the line against Phil Apollo. AK-47 will be here, and they have a message for Super Medicos. Chicky’s Sport Shop, with Universal Champion Chicky Starr, will debut tonight on Superestrellas de la Lucha Libre - The Invaders will be here - and much more! -- AK 47 vs. Joe Lightfoot & Don Running Bear -- Acevedo and Korchenko make their official in-ring debut against the Native American duo. They try to keep the focus of their attack on the veteran Running Bear, thinking they can wear him down easier. They’re right - despite a brief flurry comeback from Joe Lightfoot, the communists are in control most of the way and score the victory after Korchenko hits Running Bear with a big lariat. AK-47 d. Lightfoot & Running Bear via pinfall - 6:00 AK-47 make their way right over to Rickin Sanchez, and they want Super Medicos to know that they won’t be ducking them! They are here to liberate the Caribbean Tag Team titles for the people! -- The Roughnecks vs. Ron Ellis & Salvatore Bellomo -- More tag team action, as Don Carson debuts his proteges - The Roughnecks. Deaton & Rheingans get a nice showcase here, beating Bellomo and Ellis from pillar to post. They’re rough, alright. The Roughnecks d. Ellis & Bellomo via pinfall - 5:15 The Roughnecks and Carson get a short interview after the bout with Rickin Sanchez. They aren’t here to liberate the island, they aren’t here to Invade, they aren’t here to do nothin’ but kick butts and take the straps. And maybe if they get some time, take some of the women. -- Chicky’s Sports Shop -- Chicky Starr welcomes us to Chicky’s Sport Shop. He’s got the Universal Title and he’s awfully proud of himself. Chicky reminds the crowd they won’t be seeing this belt much anymore. He’s not giving it away for free to the unwashed masses of the island on the television - they can pay to see him at the arena - WHEN and IF he deems it necessary to defend the title, that is. Chicky’s self-aggrandizement doesn’t go on for long before Victor Jovica makes his way to the Sport Shop to question Chicky about his behavior last week and his cowardice over the weekend. Jovica wants to know how long he’s known Madril, and how they plan to keep the belt if that’s the only way they can win - he’s really getting into Starr’s personal space and hurling the insults now - and BOOM - there’s Al Madril. Victor should have thought this through better. Madril has him up for a piledriver, and Carlos Colon barrels onto the set just as Madril drives Jovica into the cement! Starr goes after Colon but Colon ducks and then takes a big swing at Starr - now Starr and Madril make a quick exit to avoid the confrontation! Jovica is down and he looks hurt - it doesn’t look like he’ll be able to meet Phil Apollo tonight at all! -- The Invaders vs. Omar Atlas & Rick Renslow -- Rickin Sanchez informs us that Jovica is in the back getting treatment - if he can’t wrestle, he will be forced to vacate the Caribbean Title to Phil Apollo. In the ring, The Invaders make their new television debut and they make quick work of Omar Atlas and Rick Renslow - Omar certainly isn’t pleased with Renslow’s performance, as he kicks the ring ropes in frustration and shoots an icy stare at the downed Renslow. The Invaders d. Atlas & Renslow via pinfall (6:12) The Invaders stop by Rickin Sanchez’s desk to announce to the fans that whether it’s the Super Medicos, the Roughnecks, or AK-47, the Invaders are out for the WWC Caribbean Tag Team Titles! -- Carlos Colon vs. Bob Brown -- An angry Carlos Colon is out, and he quickly address Al Madril and Chicky Starr before getting in the ring. They need to stop disrespecting the people of Puerto Rico with their threats, and they need to start fighting like men - No more sneak attacks! Colon makes easy work of the veteran Bulldog, and scores a rebound victory. Carlos Colon d. Bob Brown via pinfall (4:00) Rickin Sanchez announces that the Caribbean Championship match is going to continue as scheduled - Victor Jovica must defend the title or forfeit it to his opponent. Phil Apollo might just be in for the luckiest night of his career, as Rickin informs us that Victor may have been severely injured by the piledriver from Al Madril earlier in the night. -- Caribbean Championship Match -- -- Victor Jovica vs. Phil Apollo -- Phil Apollo is about to have the biggest moment of his career! The crowd is buzzing - is Victor Jovica really going to forfeit? Of course not! The wounded - but not dead - hero makes his way down to the ring. Apollo swarms the battered champion and the crowd is pleading with Jovica to fight back. Unfortunately for Apollo, even a probably concussed Jovica is too much for the upstart. Apollo continues the assault but Jovica battles back, quickly changing the tide of the match and takes the fall! Victor Jovica d. Phil Apollo via pinfall (7:13) Victor Jovica rampages to the announce station, and he commandeers a microphone from Rickin Sanchez. He wants revenge on Al Madril - and he doesn’t care how he gets it! He’ll fight him right now, he’ll fight him next week, he’ll fight him in the gym, he’ll fight him anywhere in Puerto Rico, he’ll travel the world! Jovica throws the microphone back on the desk and storms off - presumably, he’s in search of Al Madril. Rickin lets us know that we’re into our standby matches for the evening tonight, all have a TV Time Remaining time limit. -- Mike George vs. Damien Kane -- The bruising veteran Mike George picks up his second win in a row with a relatively easy victory over the young Damien Kane. Mike George d. Damien Kane via pinfall (3:13) -- Abdullah Tama vs. Joe Savoldi -- The big Flying Elephant has no trouble again this week, continuing his victory streak with an easy win over Savoldi, who isn’t quite on the level of his father yet. Abdullah Tama d. Joe Savoldi via pinfall (1:15) -- Steve Simpson vs. Mike Masters -- The alliteration is strong here, and the muscular Steve Simpson is able to take the duke over Mike Masters. Steve Simpson d. Mike Masters via pinfall (5:45) -- Tony Stetson vs. Mike Hammer -- Much to the disappointment of the crowd, the viewers, and the universe in general, this match is cut short as neither man can score a victory before the TV time expires. Tony Stetson vs. Mike Hammer - TV TIME LIMIT DRAW (3:33) Rickin Sanchez says goodbye, and we’ll see you next week!

Sarge doesn't need to take backtalk from that old Wahoo. McDaniels better get with the program.

Just saying: They might wanna pay a visit to Uganda Don't dare try to bump Sika from his flight, United.

Really digging Gama Singh here.

Poor Nord

Dusty, Dick, and Jerry in the same ring? Be still my heart!

I'm alright with the roster I've got for the foreseeable future.

I thought he was just being a tough guy. Slaughter-OMG is up there for me too though so that's at least one fan who isn't asking for a refund

This: MAIN EVENT Continental Heavyweight Title Match Bruiser Brody pinned Hercules Hernandez after a big boot followed by a leg drop Is one of my dream matches

Rip could have won that match for his team if he busted out the suicide dive

I'd buy a ticket or six for Sarge vs. Wahoo, even with Wahoo getting up there. Sawyer/Schultz is an inspired tag team pairing.

I require video of Duggan singing Badstreet USA immediately

Since our first taping is scheduled for 5/29, and that falls on Memorial Day here in the present day, I am putting it out a bit early since I suspect that like most everyone else I'll have limited time this holiday weekend. Background: This is the return of WWC to television in the Caribbean. The story is that the promotion has been running some shows around the area lately, and they’ve regained their TV deal. This allows us to skip the usual tournaments and such to “restart” the promotion. Champions: WWC Universal Title: Carlos Colon WWC Caribbean Title: Victor Jovica WWC Caribbean Tag Team Champions: Super Medicos (Jose Estrada and Johnny Rodz) The Universal title is the main singles championship. The Caribbean Title is the secondary title, and the tag titles are obviously tag team titles. Broadcaster is Rickin Sanchez, solo, but occasionally with guest commentators. WWC Superestrellas de la Lucha Libre 5/29/85 Taped from: San Juan, Puerto Rico Shown on WAPA-TV and local stations throughout the weekend -- Opening Montage -- Rickin Sanchez welcomes everyone back to World Wrestling Council Superestrellas de la Lucha Libre! He runs down the big events taking place tonight to celebrate the return to television - we’ll have special words from Universal Champion Carlos Colon, a title defense of the Caribbean Championship by Victor Jovica, and the Caribbean Tag Team Champions Super Medicos in action - as well as standby bouts and great action! Carlos Colon enters the ring with representatives from the Puerto Rico Boxing & Wrestling Commission to welcome everyone back to televised Puerto Rican wrestling! As their champion, he holds himself to a high standard, and Colon promises that WWC will also be held to that high standard, for the people! Colon can’t talk too long though - as the jealous Chicky Starr is quickly making his way to the ring to interrupt the celebration. Chicky Starr is upset - but not surprised - that Colon would want to make this night all about himself and how great he is. But Chicky knows the truth, and the truth is that Colon knows he can’t beat Chicky Starr. He’s a paper champion - where did he even win that title? Was it in a “tournament”? Was it in Rio? On this special night, doesn’t the WWC public deserve a title match? Colon doesn’t like his courage or integrity being questioned. He won the title fair and square, everyone knows that, and he’s more than willing to take on worthy challengers. He isn’t sure Chicky is “worthy” - and this infuriates Chicky - but he’s willing to grant him a match anyway. They face off in the center of the ring before the Commission reps separate them. The suits agree - there will be a title match tonight if Colon is ok with it - but it’s not going to happen right now. Both men will return to the locker room and get ready, and the match will take place tonight! What a start! Rickin Sanchez is excited about this development, and the match will take place after our two other scheduled title matches already on the card. Let’s get to the ring for the first of these - the triumphant Victor Jovica taking on Mr. Hito for the Caribbean title! -- Caribbean Championship -- -- Victor Jovica (Champion) vs. Mr Hito (Challenger) -- Victor Jovica makes easy work of the nefarious Mr. Hito, defeating him with the sleeperhold. Victor Jovica d. Mr. Hito via Sleeper Hold (6:50) Rickin Sanchez tells us that we have a video tape of a new tag team coming to the area next week … Western music plays as Don Carson arrives on horseback. The dust settles and reveals Carson in his best suit standing alongside Joel Deaton and Brad Rheingans in cowboy gear. Carson has searched the west far and wide, and he’s found two of the toughest dudes around - and they’re coming to WWC, for the Medicos, for the Invaders, for anyone that gets in their way. Rickin Sanchez thinks that’ll be mighty interesting, and we’re off to the next match. -- Omar Atlas & Damien Kane vs. Phil Apollo & Ron Ellis -- As Atlas and Kane make their way to the ring for the bout, they are attacked! Two men wearing fatigues and red ski masks run out from the entrance way right behind them, and lay a mugging on the two men. The ski-masked intruders continue their destruction as they hit the ring, tearing Apollo and Ellis to pieces as the referee attempts in vain to end the mayhem. One of the masked men pins Apollo, while the other counts! It’s not a true victory, but it sure seemed like it! Omar Atlas & Damien Kane vs. Phil Apollo & Ron Ellis - NO CONTEST - 0:00 One of the masked men grabs the microphone as he rips off his ski-mask. It’s Angel Acevedo. The other man takes off his mask, and it’s Kostina Korchenko. Acevedo introduces himself, and he introduces Korchenko - we’re AK-47 he says, and we’re here to bring the international class struggle to the island! Medicos, they’re coming for you! As if one cue, Super Medicos charge from the back with their title belts - but AK-47 clear the ring quickly. They want that fight on their own terms. -- Caribbean Tag Team Championship Match -- -- Super Medicos (Tag Team Champions) vs. Tony Stetson & Mike Masters (Challengers) -- Stetson and Masters are game for the fight but prove no match for the reigning champions. Super Medico #2 (Rodz) pins Stetson after a diving headbutt. Super Medicos d. Stetson & Masters via pinfall - (7:10) We cut to a quick locker room interview with our champion, Carlos Colon, who promises to be victorious on this glorious night! Then we get comments from Chicky Starr, who promises to take the championship, and never again allow the pathetic masses to see it on TV! -- Universal Championship Match -- -- Carlos Colon (Champion) vs. Chicky Starr (Challenger) -- It’s a good ol’ PR brawl the whole way. Colon is out to show Starr what a true man is, and Starr isn’t above bending the rules to the point of breaking. We get through most of the match without that trademark blood, but suddenly Colon gets tossed to the outside - what the hell is this? - a man jumps out of the crowd, he’s wearing sunglasses, Rickin can’t quite identify him, Starr is harassing the referee, and the intruder piledrives Colon on the cement floor! He’s bleeding! That’s Al Madril! He attacked Carlos Colon! He’s rolling Colon into the ring! Starr quickly covers him before the referee notices the blood and suspects something might be up - 1- 2- 3! We’ve got a new champion in our first episode! CHICKY STARR! He’s the CHAMPION! Chicky Starr d. Carlos Colon (Chicky Starr wins WWC Universal Title) via pinfall - 14:50 Victor Jovica is rushing down the aisle to try and persuade the official, but it’s no use! Madril and Starr are rushing to the back holding the title high! KISS IT GOODBYE yells Starr to the crowd, Rickin Sanchez is disgusted, Colon is bloody, Jovica is helping him up and they’re both furious! Rickin welcomes us back to the action and announces that despite the shenanigans, the official’s decisions are final, and Chicky Starr is the new champion. We’re all disappointed, but we’ve got standby matches to fill out the time. -- Chris Colt vs. Mike Hammer -- “Crazy” Chris Colt comes out in his unique attire and black facepaint. He demolishes the overmatched Mike Hammer, hits a running knee to the face, scores the pin and slithers about before leaving the ring area. Chris Colt d. Mike Hammer (3:40) -- Abdullah Tama vs. Rick Renslow -- The Flying Elephant Abdullah Tama runs over the big guy Rick Renslow, finishing him with a big splash. Abdullah Tama d. Rick Renslow (1:34) -- Mike George vs. Salvatore Bellomo -- The two grizzled veterans of the ring game square off. George has the advantage most of the time over Bellomo, finishing him off with a crossbody block. Mike George d. Salvatore Bellomo (6:00) -- Valente Fernandez vs. Jeff Gaylord -- We’re quickly running out of time, and the fan favorite Valente Fernandez is trying to finish off the young Jeff Gaylord quickly. Just before we go off the air for the night, Fernandez rolls Gaylord up and gets the pin. Valente Fernandez d. Jeff Gaylord (5:34) Rickin Sanchez signs off as we take another look at Al Madril driving Colon into the cement and Chicky Starr holding the Universal Title high. See you next week! We'll have words from Carlos Colon, The Invaders in action, the debut of Rheingans and Deaton,

One Man Gang is one of my all time favorites, so that alone makes this promotion a must watch.

World Wrestling Council Puerto Rico The World Wrestling Council presented by Capitol Sports Promotions SCHEDULE: Wednesday Night TV "SUPERESTRELLAS DE LA LUCHA LIBRE" Tapings - Distributed Throughout the Islands Thurs-Sunday House Shows - Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday (will not be posting results from these) Our first episode of "SUPERESTRELLAS DE LA LUCHA LIBRE" will tape MAY 29, 1985 in SAN JUAN, PR. Just some housekeeping ... the shows are televised in Spanish ... but for everyone's sake, including my own, they'll be written in English. I am woefully unfamiliar with arena names in the area and WWC 80's results outside of the big cards are tough to come by, so I'll just be listing the city for most shows. Information on the TV crew is equally difficult, though some fellow named Rickin Sanchez keeps popping up so he'll be the PBP man.

Hello! I have gone through the list on the first page and tried to cross-ref with posts here and current rosters to make sure all these dudes are available, but if I messed up, please let me know! World Wrestling Council Roster: Abdullah Tama Al Madril Angel Acevedo Brad Rhenigans Bulldog Bob Brown Carlos Colon Chicky Starr Chris Colt Damien Kane Don Carson Don Running Bear Frank Starr Hercules Ayala Joel Deaton Jeff Gaylord Joe Lightfoot Joe Salvodi Johnny Rodz Jose Estrada Jose Gonzalez Kostina Korchenko Mike George Mike Hammer Mike Masters Mr. Hito Omar Atlas Phil Appollo Rick Renslow Roberto Soto Ron Ellis Salvatore Bellomo Shiek Abdullah Steve Simpson Tony Stetson Valente Fernandez Victor Jovica

Was so close to pushing the button on picking up Carlos Colon and Hercules Ayala this afternoon, welcome back Dexstar Glad I pulled the trigger ... the rowdy PR crowds might not have been able to handle a WWC without Carlos. I'll be posting full roster from the FA pool later today!

Obviously I got behind this week, but I haven't abandoned. Look for the missing episode in a couple days and then back on schedule Friday.

Hawk & Windham vs. Public Enemy is going to be a rad brawl matchup. Ideal casting for HHH continues!

Looking forward to Hogan going to our alternate WCW in three years and forcing them to hire Lance to get that win back

Oulette is a personal fav of mine. Looking forward to him as a main eventer.

MTW Saturday Night Slam 11/4 Gary Woronchak welcomes us to another exciting episode of Saturday Night Slam! We’ve got a big night planned here at the WILX TV 10 studios and he runs down the card for us. In addition, we’ll have matches announced for this coming Thanksgiving, the MTW Turkey Shoot card, live from the Breslin Center in East Lansing! But first, we’re off to the ring. VIRGIL vs. CHRIS MICHAELS Virgil absolutely crushes his competition, toying around with Michaels a bit before knocking him flat with a left hook and getting the 1-2-3. Virgil defeats Chris Michaels (4:30, pinfall) Virgil heads to Gary Woronchak, and he grabs the microphone before Gary can even say hello. Rude. VIRGIL: MTW! You better take notice of what just happened in that ring. I’m the best in class in this heap, and no matter who holds that heavyweight belt, I’m gonna beat’em, and you’re looking at the next MTW heavyweight champion! All I have left to wonder about, fat boy Gary, is when you and your cronies up in the office are going to put a real challenger in front of me --- BARRY DARSOW emerges from the back, with a small security team swarming all around him. D-LO BROWN is at his side. DARSOW: YOU WENT TO MY HOME! YOU PUNK! NOBODY MESSES WITH MY FAMILY! You can say whatever you want about me - you can call me poor, you can call me pasty, you can even call me a bit doughy, buddy! Because I’ve earned every pound and every scar on this body, and I’ve earned what I have the right way! You go to my house, you mess with my family, you make this something a bit more than just getting back to the top of the heap, bud! VIRGIL: You come over here, you come over here and say a bit of that to me without these dummies flying around. I’ll show you and your old lady what a real man is--- Darsow charges Virgil through the crowd of security. They begin brawling as D-Lo Brown tries to keep his friend from getting himself reprimanded, or worse. Suddenly, GREG VALENTINE comes out of the shadows around the brawl and drops Brown from behind. Once again, poor Gary Woronchak’s table is the center of chaos. THE BEVERLY BROTHERS and THE GAMBLER are out now, more to help Virgil escape a rampaging Darsow. Meanwhile, Valentine is hooking the Figure Four on Brown on the studio floor as a handful of officials try to get him off. Valentine relinquishes the hold of his own accord, and he SPITS right on D-Lo Brown as he leaves the area. [COMMERCIAL BREAK] Gary takes this opportunity to remind us of the first official match for MTW TURKEY SHOOT - it’s going to be Greg Valentine, with the MTW Heavyweight Title on the line, taking on D-Lo Brown. Added to that, we’re going to see Virgil take on Barry Darsow in a grudge match. Relevant to our next match, we’re also proud to announce that Roadblock has agreed to face Tom Brandi in a re-match of their MTW Title Tournament encounter - they are going to settle their differences which appeared again last week at the Breslin. Roadblock & Droese make their way to the ring for the next match, and Droese seems to be talking to Roadblock, perhaps he is a bit miffed that Roadblock has taken a singles match at Turkey Shoot, instead of trying to get their tag team run back on the tracks. JIM STEEL & JIM POWERS vs. ROADBLOCK & DUKE DROESE Steel & Powers hang tough with the big men throughout this competitive tag team match. Roadblock and Droese don’t seem to be on the same page but do hold a small strength advantage over the musclemen. The Washoe County Regulators appear at the entranceway during the match, much to the chagrin of Steel & Powers. Their distraction nearly costs Steel & Powers the bout but they escape danger and on we go. Droese yells at Roadblock after the big construction worker didn’t get the pin after an offensive flurry. The end comes when Steel catches Droese with a big powerslam. Droese is furious with himself. Steel & Powers confer and head to the entrance area in an attempt to catch up with Rojo & Azul, the Washoe County Regulators, but they are too late. Jim Powers & Jim Steel defeat Roadblock & Duke Droese (Pinfall, 9:04) Powers & Steel go to talk to Gary. He asks about their beef with the new guys, the Washoe County Regulators. JIM POWERS: Alright bro, alright, first, I gotta know, wash you? What? They come to regulate washing? JIM STEEL: Bro, bro. Yes, right? Bro. It doesn’t make any sense. Why do they have masks, bro? Are they ugly? JIM POWERS: Bro, I’m pretty. They must not be pretty. We got all the magazines calling. Vibe. Teen Beat. Jet. People. They all want us. They all want this team. JIM STEEL: You know it, bro. You know it. Movie deals. Melrose Place. 90210. It’s all coming this way. But we can’t do that if we’re losing to ugly dudes in masks. No way bro. NO way. JIM POWERS: Bro, you got it. You got it just right. We’re going to do everyone a favor. We’re going to find these guys, we’re going to find out who they really are. But first, bro, we’re gonna get some maximum hang. Baby Jordan style. As Steel & Powers leave, Gary tells us the MTW cameras caught some interesting footage this week.. We see a grainy videotape of The Gambler heading into a dive bar in Lansing, MI. We can’t exactly see who he is meeting, but through the window, we can see The Gambler hand over an envelope, it appears to be cash. He receives nothing in return. Ottman and Osbourne are in the ring awaiting the Beverly’s and The Gambler. The Gambler comes out before his team - he’s irate his personal life is being dragged on to the show. It’s none of our business! He is interrupted by a booming voice Deep Voice: PEOPLE OF MTW GET READY! YOU WANT A PIECE OF US? (small fireworks) WE ARE HERE TO BRAWL! The Beverly Brothers emerge from the back in Shockmaster helmets and fur capes - Ottman is distraught THE BEVERLY BROTHERS vs. FRED OTTMAN & GLENN OSBOURNE Ottman is pacing wildly as The Beverly Brothers stand outside the ring in their Shockmaster outfits. Osbourne tries to settle Ottman down but the big man tosses Osbourne aside! He’s going to fight them both … but … he drops to his knees. Is he crying? The Beverlys rush into the ring and attack Ottman. Osbourne tries to get back into the action but he gets taken dow too. The bell hasn’t rung, and The Gambler enters the ring too! The three are taking it to both Ottman and Osbourne! This isn’t the match they were promised, this is mugging! Here comes Virgil to put a stamp on the beatdown! And here comes Barry Darsow charging from the back! It’s a wild brawl! Folks, this match isn’t gonna happen tonight! We are out of time! Beverly Brothers vs. Fred Ottman & Glenn Osbourne - No Contest 00:00

Show is taking place as scheduled this week, but will be posted tomorrow night due to some schedule conflicts for myself. Look forward to: "Jungle" Jim Steel & Jim "Pretty" Powers vs. Roadblock & Duke Droese! Virgil vs. Chris Michaels! The Beverly Brothers vs. Fred Ottman & Glenn Osbourne! And ... what does Barry Darsow have to say about his repossessed truck? What's The Gambler been up to? Find out!

Masato Tanaka, Sabu, & Jinsei Shinzaki is a siiiiiiick team
