May 13 - WWF Prime Time Wrestling w/ Gorilla Monsoon & Bobby Heenan Opening: Gorilla and Bobby welcome us to the set as they put over a big night of WWF Action as we prepare to go to Saturday Night’s Main Event in a couple of weeks. They really pump up the return of Terry Funk last week. Heenan is just laughing it off saying that someone else has got into Savage’s mind and it is only going to help Rude. Gorilla and Bobby go back and forth on whether Rude will even get a chance and talk about how the Bossman is next in line and is perhaps the man to beat in that match! The Matches: Rick Rude defeated Hank Green and kept making the title signal around his waist. He kept calling out Savage! The Night Stalker debuted against Tommy Shaw - Stalker finished him off with a Heart Punch! Demolition defeated Bobby Wright & Tom Evan - we heard from Heenan who says he has put a team together to destroy Demolition once and for all! Dan Spivey w/ Paul E killed Shawn Vincent with a powerbomb and then he throw him out of the ring and did the stretcher gig sending him to the back! Bushwhackers had some fun with the Super Shadows and double headbutted them and then licked a bunch of fans in the crowd. Samoan Swat Team came out and looked fantastic but vicious in a good encounter against Bobby Wyld & Ronnie Franz. Fatu came off the top rope with a headbutt that looked to legit knock Wyld out. The Mighty Kamala w/ Mr. Fuji defeated Ryne Phillips via count out. Kamala finished things off by hoisting Phillips up and dropping him throat first on the guardrail! The Steiner Brothers vs the Russians - Another fun showcase for the Steiners who look like they’re ready to take the next step here in the WWF… could Demolition be on their radar? Event Center: Mean Gene is pumping up the Event Center. He runs down the SNME card and we will see the WWF Championship, the Intercontinental Championship, and the WWF Tag Team Championships will all be on the line. We’ll also see a special encounter with Mr. Fuji’s mighty Kamala taking on the 8th wonder of the world, Andre the Giant. We’ll also see a special six-man tag when the Hart Foundation take on Brutus Beefcake, The British Bulldog, and Koko B Ware! Mean Gene puts over the return of Terry Funk and the promotion of the big film, Road House coming out next week. Mean Gene puts over Terry Funk and this… apology? Funk: Apology - Randy Savage I came out here tonight to apologize. You know when you have the legacy I have in this sport… sometimes I let my mouth run a little. Needless to say, I am riding high right now with my hit movie coming out next week… I guess I just got caught up in the moment. Trust me when I say this, Randy Savage I respect you and the integrity of the WWF Championship… that’s why I am coming to Saturday Night’s Main Event and I am going to be ringside to make sure that the Bossman doesn’t bring any tricky business with him. I know that Slick can be slick but he won’t be able to get past this bouncer! Randy Savage: Ohhhh yeaaaahhhh. Big Bossman, I got time on my side right now but you don’t. I am the wolf at the top of the mountain but I am hungry…. Hungrier now than I have ever been. Saturday Night’s Main Event is the place and I am coming with an empty stomach full of hunger. This title says I am the best there is… come and take it. Rick Rude… COME AND TAKE IT! Terry Funk… you want to apologize… know your place… at Saturday Night’s Main Event it isn’t in the ring with me… it is at ringside as a spectator. Once you get done in Hollywood, you can come back and we can talk about it but get back on the road and rub elbows with Patrick Swayze because YOU DON’T WANT THIS ELBOW DIG IT! Demolition put over their big tag match with the Heenan Family… they don’t care who the partner is… they’re going to DEMOLISH THEM! Heenan and Haku put over the tag titles and Heenan says that everything is secure… the special partner is someone who may not shock the world but will shock Demolition and bring the WWF Tag Titles home to the Heenan Family! Hacksaw Duggan put over getting the IC title match and says that he bleeds red, white, and blue and he will show Muta that he has just enough room for some gold… TOUGH GUY! Paul E is with Muta and he puts over the big IC title match… he says Duggan couldn’t spell IQ let alone have one. Muta is the superior athlete, wrestler, and man… and he’s going to show that to Duggan at Saturday Night’s Main Event!

I’d be up for moving Tito Santana Rick Martel Nike Rotundo

I’m gonna pick up PCO DROP will be vampire warrior

As a heads up, WWF has acquired the NWA and AWAs first picks as part of previous deals

That is where my thinking was… I remember him with hair… ‘‘twas weird

Glen Osborne is thrasher right?

May 6 - WWF Superstars of Wrestling w/ Vince McMahon & Jesse Ventura Jesse and Vince put over a big night of action and talk about Superstars being the Premiere Show when it comes to Professional Wrestling. Vince says there is talk of taking it Live each and every week… Jesse says he lives for live tv… let’s go to the ring. Hercules and Paul Roma (now with the shirts that say Power and Glory) work babyface and defeat the Russians in a solid tag team match Hacksaw Duggan defeated Bob Dean The Steiner Brothers defeated Mike Jackson & Skip Simmons Tito Santana defeated Frankie Del Greco The Bushwhackers debut and defeated The Medics Rick Martel defeated Erick Strong The Samoan Swat Team defeated William Ryder & Ryann Wallace Tugboat Thomas vs Dino Bravo - a fun little main event with Dino looking like a monster but Tugboat giving him all he’s got. We see Earthquake and Jimmy Hart out there… then Tugboat goes for broke with a huge avalanche in the corner but Dino moves…and Tugbboat nails the corner and the ring moves…Dino catches Tugboat and gutwrench suplex! 1….2….3!!! Earthquake jumps into the ring and he starts to kick away at Tugboat… wait a second… EARTHQUAKE SPLASH! Tugboat is in a rough way… hold on here comes Davey Boy Smith and Dino and Quake back out… Jimmy Hart is pushing this big… Davey Boy wants his shot at Dino at any cost… but perhaps it cost Tugboat his career! We go to the set of Brother Love and we see Randy Savage come out and get right in Brother Love’s face about what happened a couple of weeks ago. Brother Love says he was just doing what Brother Heenan wanted. Randy Savage is livid though and he’s right there to tell Brother Love he’s going to put an end to this whole show if he doesn’t get some answers… then… well then out of the back walks Terry Funk! We hear some hmms and haas in the crowd as Funk comes over and attempts to shake Savage’s hand… which he does with hesitation. Funk says that he’s here tonight as a guest and wanted to come out and meet Randy Savage face to face and congratulate him on being one of the best WWF Champions of all time! Terry goes on to talk about his past with championships and being the WORLD heavyweight champion and defending it against all comers and he hopes that Savage will continue to be the same kind of champion. Savage nods and agrees but when he tries to speak, Funk interrupts and talks about how his fame grew when he was the champion and it grew to such heights that Hollywood came knocking at his door. He talks about his new movie, Road House that comes out in a couple of weeks and how he whips Patrick Swyaze into shape for fun. Savage lets him know that this… wait he’s interrupted again… Funk goes on to say that between the press tour and all the signings and such… he does’t know if he could even handle the schedule of the WWF Champion… but he’d like to try. He smiles at Savage that says this isn’t Hollywood and this isn’t a part you can audition for. This is the toughest sport in the world and you’ve got to prove you’re the best to step in the ring for the title. Funk is a great competitor but not exactly in the rankings or runnings for a title shot. Funk says he was just playing with Savage. He can’t wait for his title defense against the Bossman… he will be cheering for him! Event Center with Mean Gene - he puts over the big SNME. We will see Randy Savage defend the WWF Championship against the Big Bossman, Andre the Giant takes on the Mighty Kamala, Demolition defend the WWF Tag Team Championships against Haku & A Mystery Partner, plus a huge six-man tag team match with Brutus Beefcake, the Bulldog, & Koko Ware taking on The Hart Foundation. Also just signed, an Intercontinental Championship match, the Great Muta is set to defend against Hacksaw Jim Duggan! We hear from some of the competitors… Randy Savage: OHHHH YEAAAAHHHH! WWF Champion, Macho Man Randy Savage here and wow… Big Bossman… baddest dude on the block with the biggest mouth and the biggest head yeah. Well come SNME I am gonna shut that mouth and pop that big ol balloon head of yours! This elbow has been bred for destruction yeah… like the judge’s gavel… it is going to fall and JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED! Big Bossman: Randy Savage… you good for nothing punk. You hide behind that title and that woman like it means something but come SNME it won’t mean a thing. I am coming for that WWF Title… it will be the final piece to show the world that I am the Law, the Order, and the Justice of the WWF! Mr. Fuji w/ Kamala: Andre the Giant… biggest man in wrestling no more… my mighty Kamala is going to bring you down to size! Andre: Fuji… Kamala… hahaha… I am going to show you why I am the 8th wonder of the world! Brutus Beefcake: Time for some cutting and struttin… I have got some good friends in Koko and the Bulldog and brother we are coming loaded for bear… I want every single person out there to wish best of luck to the Hart Foundation because they are due for a heart attack! Honky Tonk Man: I am getting ready to tune my guitar up and single the blues… but Brutus Beefcake, Koko B Ware, and British Bulldog… I have got a hit for each of you… one is called the Hammer Jammer… and Koko that’s going to put you out and pull every single feather. For you Bulldog… I have got the Canadian National Anthem to show you why Dino Bravo is the biggest and the best… but for you Beefcake.. I am going to take you down the lonely street to Heartbreak Hotel…

the Golden Warrior is a great moniker for KVE. He has something left in the tank and I think he'll leave it all here in the NWA. BattleBowl is coming back... winner gets a shot at the Bash... gonna be some big stuff to kick off the summer!

Had to play catch up but damn what a couple of weeks. Kraelin is such a mythical figure... he is in his prime during this era and he is the definition of the terminator. I hope to see him suplex his way to new heights in UWF. I like Bad News here as a legit tough guy... which he was... UWF is where the toughest guys in the world are at for sure.

The Rockers and Sherri coming in... Dibiase is coming in... PCW if on fire with some new talent and it is just a matter of time before they come to head with the old guard of PCW which is as talented as it gets.

Low key... simple... fun... keep em coming. Downtown Bruno is a great one to be advantageous when opportunity comes his way.

Sting and Luger... .Lawler and Flair.... HUGE double main event. Now we get the real deal total package who is without question the hottest thing in WCW right now. I want to a see a world where the rocket is strapped to him and see just how far he can go!

Hulk Hogan has arrived and made an immediate impact... he takes care of Gordy and now Kokina is on the highway to hell with him... man... what a change to the AWA...Jumbo and Vader may have the immortal one right in line if either of them survives the other.

I guess I will throw the first egg... when is it too early / just the right time to release the draft order so we can meticulously plan and decipher ways to make Gillberg the man, the myth, and the legend?

The opening: Prime Time opens this week with Gorilla and Bobby putting over last week’s Superstars Live. They talk about the Dangerous Alliance and how we will see them in action tonight. They talk about Saturday Night’s Main Event on Saturday, May the 25th, on that night we will see Randy Savage take on Big Bossman and defend the World Title… Heenan chimes in to say that is if he’s the champion. Gorilla and Bobby go to task on the Family taking out Savage last week. Bobby says it was the first message of what could be a few or many… plain and simple… Savage gives up the title to Rude or else he will suffer the consequences! Gorilla can’t believe it… we’ve got a big night of action - let’s head to the ring! The Matches: The Samoans defeated Mike Richards & Tyler Shaw Hercules & Paul Roma (as faces) defeated Bob Wright & Vance Michaels The British Bulldog defeated Paul Wallace The Steiner Brothers defeated The Medics Tito Santana defeated Ron George Rick Martel defeated William Thomas Hacksaw Duggan defeated Ray Phillips *MAIN EVENT* Dino Bravo, Honkytonk Man, & Greg Valentine w/ Earthquake & Jimmy Hart defeated Koko Ware, Bob Holly, & ST Jones The Event Center: Event Center: Gene takes us to the event center and we get to hear about the big Saturday Night’s Main Event next month. The show will be held from Albany, New York and what a card it will be. We will see the WWF Title on the line when Randy Savage defends against the Big Bossman! Big Bossman: You hear that Savage? Haha… it is time ticking away boi… I told you at WrestleMania I was coming for the title… I told you I am coming for blood… Savage… you better know that truth and justice will prevail… Saturday Night’s Main Event… millions of people watching the Big Bossman walk down that aisle and serve you with the justice you deserve. You’ve been tried and found guilty… you’ve got your date with the executioner! Randy Savage: Ohhh yeaahhhh…. I got guys coming from the left and from the right… from the top and from the bottom… yeah… but when you’re the champion… thus is life… Dig it! Now Bossman… you are number one on the pecking order and brother know that the Macho Man doesn’t take that order lightly. Bossman - you say you’re the executioner huh… well look at me as the one who holds the gavel… I am the judge and this title gives me the power… Bossman… you are going to find out what real law and order is all about… DIG IT! Dusty Rhodes: Yeah baby, American Dream Dusty Rhodes here… Americana tour 1989… going all over the country spreading the love and joy of the American Dream baby. I got a lil problem with the Big Bossman… bubba… lemme tell you something right now, our business is far from over daddy. You may have won the battle but the war my man… the war is far from over. I am going to show you some hard times boy… I am going to show you the American Nightmare! Rick Rude: You got Dusty Rhodes… the Big Bossman… and Randy Savage all coming out here and saying a whole bunch of nothing. Let me be the one to set the record straight… Saturday Night’s Main Event is going to be the first title defense of Ravishing Rick Rude. I am coming for you Savage in every single town every single night. I am going to get my hands on you and not only take the title but take you out of this sport… then… haha… I am going to give that old lady of yours the Rude Awakening of a lifetime! Gene then puts over the US tag Team Champions the Rockers who announce that they will be going on a special United States tour and defending the titles against all comers. Look for them at an Arena near you. Gene also announces that a former WWF champion is set to return to the WWF and he has got some big plans. Also at Saturday Night’s Main Event, we will see Andre the Giant taking on the Mighty Kamala and Mr. Fuji has said he will have a big surprise for Andre! Also we will see the tag team champions, Demolition in a special match up against Haku and a mystery partner. Bobby Heenan says he has a new family member… and a special six-man tag team encounter… Brutus Beefcake, the British Bulldog, & Koko Ware take on the Hart Foundation and I am sure we will see the Earthquake at ringside with them.

April 22 - WWF Superstars of Wrestling LIVE w/ Vince McMahon & Jesse Ventura We open up the Superstars of Wrestling Vince and Jesse ringside for this huge event. We’ve got a stacked card, a list of superstars a mile long… we’ve got titles on the line and so much in store… It is time to go to the ring! NUMBER ONE CONTENDER MATCH Dusty Rhodes vs Big Bossman w/ Slick Doesn’t get much bigger than this right now. These two just beat the living piss out of one another. We get a brawl that goes outside the ring. Rhodes rams into the stairs. Bossman goes ass over tea kettle on the guardrail taking out some fans. The One Man Gang is then shown walking down… what is he doing out here. Dusty is looking to go for broke on Bossman but Gang tries to get involved… Dusty ends up nailing him with a huge elbow and he falls to the floor… Dusty goes for a clothesline but Bossman ducks…. Rhodes hits the ropes and leaps for a crossbody but Bossman catches him and turns it into a Bossman Slam! OUT OF NOWHERE! 1….2….3!!! The Bossman has won it and he’s the number one contender… this is nuts. Rhodes is hurt but then here comes the One Man Gang… 747 Splash on Rhodes! Dusty is in a bad way here. Wait a second… here come the Von Erich boys and the Towers retreat… does it matter though? Bossman wins the match… he’s next in line for a WWF title match… what will the champion think? We’re back and here is a special Brother Love show. Brother Love is in the ring and he’s working the crowd until the Macho Man comes out to a huge ovation from the crowd. We see he and Brother Love go jab for jab… but then Brother Love asks what the deal with Elizabeth is? Macho Man says that every good man has a great woman in his corner and Ms. Elizabeth has been his guiding light. Wait a minute… what is this? {Bobby Heenan walks out with Haku and Rick Rude…} Heenan and his crew come in and shake hands with Savage. Macho Man acts chummy with them. Brother Love asks about the Bosssman to which Savage says he is happy he is the number one contender and he looks forward to coming to Saturday Night’s Main Event to show him what being a champion is… Heenan: Hold it there Randy… now we know that you and on the take Tunney may have come together for this plan… Bossman and Dusty Rhodes… you get what’s left… but well… that’s not the way I see it and it isn’t the way the Family sees it. Randy Savage when you came to the WWF… I gave you the seal of approval and I did everything to make sure you got that WWF Championship… yeah I got a couple of bucks and some nice dinners… but I haven’t received my piece of the deal yet… Randy Savage: Your piece of the deal huh? What’s that?! I won this title on my own and I have defended it on my own… Heenan: Calm down there Macho Man… it’s real simple… your time as champion has come to an end… Randy Savage: What are you talking about brother… you’re out of your mind?!? Heenan: No… I am seeing things clearly… because my eyes are wide open… it is time for your Rude Awakening! Rude hammers Savage from behind! Haku and Rude are laying the boots to Savage and the crowd can’t believe it! Rude and Heenan hold him up for Haku to come with a Savat Kick right to the throat and Savage goes down hard… Rude picks him up and hits the RUDE AWAKENING! Officials and agents run down… wait a second… is that Elizabeth? She’s in the ring! She’s trying to stop this attack but Rude blows her a kiss! This is nuts! Heenan tells Savage to kiss the title goodbye! Jesse and Vince put over the huge happening with Macho Man and Rude and talk about how Savage has got challengers from every angle right now! They put over his title reign but say it is in jeopardy... they wonder if Spivey's addition to the Dangerous Alliance will solidify his reign! INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP Koko B Ware vs The Great Muta w/ Paul E, Sherri, & Spivey A great showcase for both men. Koko really knows how to fly around the ring and pull out some of the good stuff from Muta. This is a little different from their other matches though… Sherri and Spivey are out there and they make their presence known. We even see Spivey with a dart throw into the ring post. He tosses Koko in and then Muta waits and hits the Shining Wizard for the 3-count! The Dangerous Alliance is in full effect right now… Jesse and Vince really pump up Muta and the Dangerous Alliance... Jesse says there's rumors of another member joining... someone who will shock the world of wrestling. Vince questions but gets nowhere. We then hear about the US tag titles and pump up this big title match! US Tag Team Championship The Rockers vs Earthquake & Dino Bravo w/ Jimmy Hart We see the Rockers come out to a great ovation from the crowd. They definitely have all the love here as Dino and Earthquake are getting some major heat. We see Michaels and Jannetty have to double team every chance they get here to knock Earthquake back. Dino is able to play middle man and take a lot of the blows while Quake looks like a monster. We then see Dino and Quake take over… and it doesn’t look pretty. Michaels gets SQUASHED by Quake and thrown out. Dino catches Jannetty who goes for a high cross body but then powerslams him… wait Jannetty goes over his back and pushes Dino into Earthquake. Marty gets Shawn up and then they run for a couple dropkicks and nail the Quake who goes out of the ring to the floor! They run at Dino and duck a clothesline and then come back with a pair of back elbows…. Dino is woozy and here’s the double superkick for the 3-count! The Rockers retain… They are the US tag Champions and Dino and Quake need to regroup! What a win for the Rockers. We hear they may be going on tour with the US tag titles... whatever that means. We pump up the big six-man... Andre and his crew are ready for battle! SIX-MAN TAG Andre the Giant, Tito Santana, & Jimmy Snuka vs Kamala & The Powers of Pain w/ Mr. Fuji The crowd is still stirring from the previous contest so when they see Andre come out with Tito and Snuka we’ve got a lot of cheers but definitely not where it could be. The monster crew that Fuji has put together is something to behold. This isn’t a good match but there is entertainment. The crowd is just waiting for Andre to come in and when he does they go bananas. Snuka and Tito play folly for the Powers of Pain and then Kamala and Andre get into a pretty intense battle. The finish sees Andre with a powerslam on Warlord and then covers him for the 3-count. Andre and his crew celebrate… a feel good moment for the end of a very special night. See you next week! Crazy couple of weeks - hope to get pictures going again soon - summer can't come soon enough.

Appreciate having you back. This should be a fun venture with a hot area for wrestling.

Way too busy for my own good right now... April 15 - WWF Prime Time Wrestling w/ Gorilla Monsoon & Bobby Heenan One Man Gang & Big Bossman defeated Johnny Wayne & Ken Riggins We hear from Dusty Rhodes who lets us know that the Big Bossman is going to be the big Lossman next week because the dream is going to give him a nightmare daddy! Brutus Beefcake defeated Kenneth James - then cut his hair to the delight of the crowd Tugboat Thomas defeated Bob Ryder Dino Bravo & The Earthquake defeated Bob Holly, Steven Wallace, & Mike Wiliams We hear from the Rockers who are ready to defend their US tag titles next week against this Duo of Bravo and Quake… they are ready for their size and strength… but they won’t be able to match the Rockers’ speed! Hercules defeated Frank Kramer Haku w/ Bobby Heenan defeated Sam Simpson Honky Tonk Man w/ Jimmy Hart defeated Pete King British Bulldog defeated Erick Strong A special Brother Love Segment plays out with Dan Spivey coming out to talk about graduating from the school of hard knocks! He is sick and tired of people holding him back and is going to be a mercenary who does what he wants when he wants and how he wants! He says that he’s done with this letterman’s coat… throws it to the ground… then we see Paul E Dangerously walk out… he’s got Sherri and Muta… Paul E and Sherri then shake hands with Spivey as Paul E says his new name is DANGEROUS DAN SPIVEY because he’s the newest member of the DANGEROUS ALLIANCE! The crowd seems to pop a little… Paul E has put together a hell of a group here so far… he says he isn’t done and before the end… people will be begging for his forgiveness!

I can't say I did too bad with my picks and to be honest - 1989 - Midnight Express would have totally been a top pick to win the Crockett Cup. Very smart booking through the tournament and with the Road Warriors and Demo gone - Midnights make the most sense and really give the credibility to the cup!

Great Clash - everything moves forward - big matches and now we've got all eyes going towards WrestleWar. Lawler vs Flair is marquee... plus we've got Funk and Sting in the crowning... Eddie Gilbert is causing Mayhem... wouldn't mind seeing him and Lawler team up somehow against the Horsemen... good stuff!

I appreciate that big list - for what its worth - I've got Giant Gonzalez and Tatanka on my roster but have yet to use either of them. I can hold off till 90 if people think that would be more appropriate.
