Situational pick for a Canadian promotion really.

LOL, I should, but I would have had to think to go into your results to do it.

I am absolutely loving what you are doing with Memphis.

I have plans for Dewey as well. He won't go to waste, I can promise you that.

Dewey Robertson

I'm waiting for Dutch to start killing Bob's sons.

That Don Carson stable is dominating MLW right now.

I am all for waiting for Wahoo to get this draft started and will wait as long as necessary, but I have to ask. Are there others here who are really pushing hard to get one more name for their roster right now that I'm holding up by not pushing for skipping over Wahoo?

It seems like Landell and Gibbs are not long as a team. I'm really liking Savinovich's interviews. I hope Colon shows that Race a thing or two (even if I know he won't ever get the belt).

That whole Jake Roberts booking reminds me of an old Titans podcast. Johnny talks about how it's great when a major heel gets pissed at another heel and turns the full force of their evil on the bad guys to the delight of the crowd. I would agree that way of booking is pretty awesome when done right and it seems like a great start.

Don't care much one way or the other. I'm not in dire need of new talent to book this second.

In towns all across Quebec there have been fliers turning up everywhere. Local television stations have been running a sixty second spot highlighting the International Wrestling Association's expanded touring schedule. August 2nd, Colisée des Trois-Rivieres, QC August 3rd, Paul Sauvé Arena, Montreal, QC August 6th, Paul Sauvé Arena, Montreal, QC August 9th, Pavillon de la Jeunesse, Quebec City, QC August 10th, Paul Sauvé Arena, Montreal, QC August 11th, Auditorium de Shawinigan, Shawinigan, QC August 12th, Colisée de Rimouski, Rimouski, QC August 17th, Colisée de Rimouski, Rimouski, QC August 18th, Centre Civique, Drummondville, QC August 19th, Palais des Sports Saguenay, Saguenay, QC August 20th, Pavillon de la Jeunesse, Quebec City, QC August 23rd, Auditorium de Shawinigan, Shawinigan, QC August 24th Paul Sauvé Arena, Montreal, QC August 25th, Colisée de Saint-Jean, Saint-Jean-Sur-Richelieu, QC August 27th, Paul Sauvé Arena, Montreal, QC August 30th, Palais des Sports, Sherbrooke, QC August 31st, Paul Sauvé Arena, Montreal, QC September 1st, Colisée de Trois-Rivieres, Trois Rivieres, QC September 3rd, Paul Sauvé Arena, Montreal, QC Matches will be announced on the International Wrestling television show for the upcoming week. The commercial also shows clips of the Invaders wrestling and hypes their debut in the IWA. Pictures of the masked duo headline the fliers. In Halifax, Nova Scotia, a sixty second televison commercial has been running highlighting the joint show with Maple Leaf Wrestling on August 14th. A short clip of the finishing move employed by the masked duo, the Invaders, from Puerto Rico is shown hyping their debut in Halifax, followed by a montage of the stars of both the IWA and MLW.

I thought the finish to the main fit perfectly. Damn that Killer Khan for ruining the Rougeaus chances of being double champs!

Love the ending this week. I'm looking forward to Alfred's new client as well. Poor Moose though.

Whoa, no hate at all between Martel and Flair eh? Those Russians are becoming a menace. Even the fake one. I am noticing a rather large lack of leg selling going on here.

I like the idea of using Jake as a tweener with the GC as the true heels. The Brody stuff I think my position on it has been made clear enough already.The British subdivision is an interesting choice for Georgia.

I like Jumbo and Baba getting in on the brawling in 83.

International Wrestling Presents: Blood and Gold, July 30th, 1983 in the Montreal Forum (18,500) The show opens with Lou Albano and the Tongan Terrors coming out to ringside being booed heavily. Their opponents tonight are Tim and Alex Gerrard, who get a better reaction than normal. The Tongan Terrors vs. The Gerrard Brothers The Tongans dominate from the start and don’t let up. The Gerrards pepper Tonga John with punches, chops and boots to the gut but the big Tongan doesn’t seem to notice and clotheslines Alex Gerrard out of his boots. Alex is the focus of a brutal beating by the Tongans. King Tonga hits a savate kick after tagging John. Tonga John comes off the top with a headbutt to get the three on Alex Gerrard. Tonga John over Alex Gerrard by pinfall after a savate kick/flying headbutt comination 4:45 Gino Brito and Tony Parisi get big cheers as they enter the ring. Bobby and Rudy Kay get little to no reaction. Gino Brito and Tony Parisi vs. The Kay Brothers Brito and Parisi work Bobby Kay over with quick tags, focusing on the ribs and back. The Kays get in a few double team moves to take over on Parisi, but he’s able to turn things around on Bobby Kay by going back to the ribs. Brito sets Parisi up with a side suplex of Bobby Kay after tagging and his partner hits a flying senton for the three. Tony Parisi over Bobby Kay by pinfall after a side suplex/flying senton 5:18 Tony Ricco comes out to a mildly positive response. Greg “the Hammer” Valentine gets some boos after the video package that aired last night. Tony Ricco vs. Greg Valentine Valentine is dominant to start the match, using blstering chops punctuated with a bionic elbow. Ricco fights back, but Valentine is quick to go to the leg and works it over in his violent fashion for some time. Ricco makes a comeback, but his leg slows him down enough to give Valentine the opening he needs. Valentine hits several vicious elbow drops to the leg before locking in the figure four and gaining a submission victory. Greg Valentine over Tony Ricco by submission with the figure four 6:49 “The Farmer,” Louis Laurence gets a pretty good reaction as he enters the arena. Richard Charland is booed by the fans after his cowardly actions in this week’s TV tag match. Louis Laurence vs. Richard Charland for the vacant Quebec Heavyweight Title Charland attacks Laurence during introductions to elicit more boos from the crowd and gain an early advantage. Laurence battles back, but Charland whips him into a corner and stomps on him, breaking three times at head referee Adrian Desbois’ four count. A blatant choke follows, with Desbois again trying to break the hold to little avail before forcibly making Charland comply. Charland and Desbois have an argument, which gives Laurence time to recover and surprise an overconfident Charland with punches to the gut and head. Laurence begins to work on Charland’s leg with a mix of basic holds, punches and elbow drops. Charland tries going for the eyes, but Laurence shoves him into the corner and starts wailing away with right hands. Referee Desbois physically removes Laurence from the corner several times, with Charland taking advantage and hitting a low blow on Laurence that Desbois can’t see. Charland tries his piledriver, but Laurence somehow backdrops him out of it. Laurence is unable to follow up and Charland rolls him up in a prawn hold with both feet on the second rope to get the three. Richard Charland over Louis Laurence by pinfall with his feet on the ropes to capture the Quebec Heavyweight Title Eddie Creatchman and the Midnight Express walk to the ring where Jacques Rougeau, Sr. waits with a microphone in hand. Creatchman stops several times to confer with his charges and glare at the crowd. Rougeau gets a slightly amused look on his face every time this happens. The trio get into the ring. Jacques Rougeau, Sr.: I would like to welcome to the ring at this time Eddie Creatchman and the Midnight Express. I can only assume you want to talk about your title match later tonight. Creatchman: You ARE a genius, Rougeau. Of course we do. My charges and I have been talking about the last match we had for the Canadian International Tag Team titles and saw our mistake. Tonight we won’t make that same mistake again. They don’t call me “The Brain” for my nothing. Jacques, Sr.: I’m more than certain my boys are up to the task, whatever your strategy may be, Eddie Creatchman. I’ve heard you talk like this so many times before that it’s hard to take you seriously. Creatchman: Of course you have, Rougeau. I will say that I’ve never had a team as incredible as these two men you see behind me. Dennis Condrey is six feet, two hundred and fifty pounds of MEAN! When he steps between these ropes, Dennis Condrey is all business! And his partner, Randy Rose. This man stands six foot one and weighs in at two hundred and forty pounds. He is one of the most complete wrestlers you will ever see. He can brawl, he can come off the top, he can work the mat. His powerslam off the ropes will devastate any man! Together these two men are a well-oiled machine! They will destroy anyone that is put in front of them. And that includes your boys, Rougeau! The Midnights and Creatchman leave the ring as the crowd voices their displeasure with them. Once they reach the back, the British Bulldogs emerge from the curtain. They are greeted with a very good reaction as they make their entrance. Armand Rougeau and Rene Goulet get a lot of cheers as well from the capacity crowd. Armand Rougeau & Rene Goulet vs. The British Bulldogs The two teams could not get any real advantage in the early going, Armand finally falling victim to a series of quick double teams by the Bulldogs. Armand fought his way out of trouble with big right hands and tagged in Goulet. Goulet and Dynamite did a series of counters on the mat that neither seemed to get the advantage of. Dynamite started getting hot and soon the chops and boots were flying as Goulet and Dynamite brawled. A series of quick tags between Armand and Dynamite left Dynamite in need of a tag and Davey hit a big dropkick followed by an overhead press slam on Goulet. Goulet exited the ring to slow down Davey’s momentum, but it did little good as the Bulldogs again started double teaming him as it gave Dynamite time to recover. Armand took a tag and looked like he may have Dynamite in a sleeper, but Davey saved his partner and the teams exchanged nearfalls. Dynamite was finally able to get the three with a headbutt off the top rope. The Bulldogs shook hands with Armand and Goulet post-match and returned to the back with the crowd cheering them on. The Midnight Express emerge from the crowd and attack Armand Rougeau and Goulet as they left the ring, turning the crowd’s cheers to boos. Jacques and Raymond are quick to run off the Midnights and cut a short promo vowing they would avenge this attack on their brother. Dynamite Kid over Rene Goulet by pinfall after a flying headbutt 14:51 The Can Am Express make their way to the ring with purpose, looking very focused as the crowd cheers them on. Brunzell is still bandaged from the cut he received two weeks prior. Slaughter and Mad Dog Lefebvre jaw with the crowd on their way out, soaking in the boos. The Can Am Express vs. Sgt. Slaughter & Mad Dog Lefebvre Lafon and Brunzell come out hot, laying in right hands on Lefebvre and Slaughter. Slaughter and Lefebvre look like they are being overwhelmed before Slaughter ducks a right from Brunzell and bounces off the ropes into a Slaughter cannon. The heels work Brunzell over with clubs and punches before Slaughter rips the bandage off of Brunzell’s cut from two weeks ago and goes to work on the cut. Brunzell comes roaring back with European uppercuts and a running elbow smash, but Slaughter grabs a handful of tights to cut off the tag by an inch! Lefebvre bites the already bleeding cut and Brunzell again fires up only to have Lefebvre grab his hair. A Brunzell jumping knee after being whipped to the ropes allows him to tag Lafon. Lafon comes in with a flurry of kicks, chops and punches to both Slaughter and Lefebvre. Brunzell hits the Canadian Rocky Buster on Lefebvre, but Slaughter makes the save. Brunzell has to be escorted back to his corner by referee Andre Roy, allowing Slaughter the opportunity to go into his trunks and hit Lafon with a set of brass knuckles. Slaughter and Lefebvre use a double clothesline to put an almost unconscious, now bloody Lafon down to set up Slaughter’s cobra clutch for the win. Sgt. Slaughter over Phil Lafon by submission with the cobra clutch 14:42 Stan Hansen enters the ring first to loud boos. The crowd erupts in cheers as Andre the Giant comes out of the curtain. Hansen ambushes Andre at ringside before the bell. Andre the Giant vs. Stan Hansen Andre reverses a whip into the guard rail and chops Hansen down as he tries to hang onto the guard rail. Hansen gets rolled into the ring and stomps away at Andre as he enters the ring and the bell rings, but Andre is able to stand up through the assault. They brawl around the ring until Andre locks on a standing surfboard and headbutts Hansen’s back. Hansen takes the worst of it until he hits a series of elbows, chops and bionic elbows to stagger the giant. A hiptoss by Hansen takes Andre off his feet! The giant comes back with more brawling and tosses Hansen around the ring a few times before the Texan brawler escapes to the outside. Hansen takes control on the outside and rolls into the ring and back out just in time to avoid being counted out. Andre reverses a whip into the ringpost and Hansen comes up bleeding. Hansen is rolled into the ring and the two brawl around the ring, Andre taking control by bouncing Hansen’s head off of two turnbuckles. Hansen comes back with more brawling, taking the giant down to one knee and stomping him to the mat. Hansen hits a huge lariat that sends him crashing through the ropes to the floor with the momentum! Andre falls to the outside where the two brawl all around the ring and get counted out. It takes a few minutes for security, every IWA referee and half the locker room to separate the two behemoths as the crowd roars. Double disqualification due to count-out 13:24 The Midnight Express and Eddie Creatchman take their time getting to the ring. Jacques and Raymond rush the ring, but Rose and Condrey bail out. The Midnight Express vs. The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers(@) for the Canadian International Tag Team Titles Head referee Adrian Desbois finally gets Rose into the ring opposite Jacques, who comes in with big right hands. Rose rolls out of the ring and confers with Creatchman on the floor as Condrey assures Desbois that Rose will get back in the ring. The Midnights continue to stall the fired-up Rougeaus, finally catching a break when Jacques, tired of the stalling, reaches over the ropes to pull Condrey in. Jacques gets draped throat-first over the rope as Condrey drops off the apron and the Midnights go to work with grinding headlocks and brutal punches. Condrey makes a point of putting on a sleeper while staring right at Raymond. Raymond hits the ring and decks Condrey, but Jacques is unable to take advantage. Jacques makes the tag to Raymond after several cut-offs by the Midnights. Raymond rolls over both Midnights, both taking shelter on the floor, but Raymond chases them down and sends both stumbling away with right hands. Jacques hits a dropkick off the apron and the Rougeaus are rolling. Back in the ring the Midnights barely escape a tag team finish by the Rougeaus when Condrey breaks up a cover by Jacques. Condrey is able to tag himself in and hits a full nelson facebuster on Jacques, but Raymond is there for the save. Jacques moves on a leg drop by Condrey and tags in Raymond, who catches Condrey in a sleeper. Rose can’t make the save as Jacques is punching away at him on the floor. Condrey passes out and the match is called by the ref, Condrey slumping unconscious on the mat. Raymond Rougeau over Dennis Condrey by way of Condrey passing out in a sleeper 19:17

I have no interest at all in another draft.

Stu Hart giving Jimmy a little payback, nice to see. I'm sure Blackwell was bumping all over for his opponents at the end of the match.

Only if Jack Tunney polices the usage of the midgets like he was Parv being forced to watch a Jay Strongbow match will I agree!

Loving your TV so far Will. Main events have been killing it.

Thirded.
