I think I have this updated with your requests.

Just a heads up for anyone who is interested, we had the Memphis Territory in the 1983 game open up and you'd have the Rock N Rolls, Lawler, Mantell, Dundee, and Landell along with a nice crop of some others to get going. Additionally, we have talked about opening up Japan. With the 1983 game we send the workers who were on tour to Japan but we never see what they do there... so if someone wanted to jump in and run a 1984 All Japan or New Japan you'd be more than welcome. Not trying to poach anyone, but like Grimmas did with us, just letting you guys know about an opportunity to do something similar in the 1983 project (even though we are about to approach 1984). PM Me if you'd like to discuss more.

Gene officially dropped this weekend, which means Memphis is open. I think there are some guys in the 1995 game that could maybe pop over and we could open up Japan a little bit more with the tours to have our guys not just disappear for months at a time. Still no word from Boon.

WWF NOTES -There was some tension at the most recent joint WWF & Lutte Shows. Vince McMahon is said to be pretty unhappy with the Lutte move to the NWA. This may cause McMahon to become more aggressive in his Canadian expansion. There are many in Lutte trying to keep McMahon happy with the agreement as the invasion of Toronto and Montreal could hurt the market. - Speaking of Toronto, this past weekend we saw AWA star Tito Santana on the show as he was a surprise entrant with Hulk Hogan's team. The AWA may not be too excited to hear how he was used in regards to a talent deal with Lutte. Word has it that the WWF has sent compensation to AWA for use of Santana on the show. - Terry Funk returned to the WWF last weekend in a big angle with the Briscoe Brothers. Everyone in the WWF has been waiting for Terry to pull the trigger on his return and it went over in a big way. Expect this to be a highlight feud for the next couple of months to cap it all off. - There is word that the WWF is looking to bring back Bruno Sammartino to be an authority figure and also do PR for the company. Bruno has been on and off with the WWF recently but has said to have some interest in the role but wants to bring David with him. Not sure what that would look like. - This may be one of the final tours for Hulk Hogan as Vince is trying to get complete control of his dates even with his Japanese commitments. This may bring up bigger issues with the Bulldogs and Andre in the future who also go to Japan quite regularly.

11/11 Chicago, IL – UIC Pavilion MAIN EVENT HANDICAP MATCH Hulk Hogan & Andre the Giant defeated Nick Bockwinkel, Big John Studd, & Bobby Heenan TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP The British Bulldogs defeated The Russians © via DQ INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP Gino Hernandez © w/ Woman defeated Chavo Guerrero King Kong Bundy w/ Bobby Heenan defeated Tony Atlas The Hart Foundation w/ Jimmy Hart defeated the Killer Bees

Not a problem Rain. I just posted my weekend results for the WWF. I have been slammed with work but I think I keep everything going with the quick results. Just keep doing work. If Boon or Gene aren't able to come back over the next Month... we may look to do a different kind of trade draft for their rosters... you would need to give up someone to draft someone and you wouldn't be able to put jobbers in, they would have to be legit roster spots for you. Something I am toying with to keep their rosters afloat in case someone else pops up. This would be separate from the Fresh Face draft. I will keep you guys posted.

WWF Superstars Vince McMahon & Jesse the Body Ventura Matches from Poughkeepsie, NY – Mid-Hudson Civic Center Randy Savage w/ Elizabeth defeated Tony Garea -Savage continues to look strong here as he is priming himself for another run at the IC Title. Jesse and Vince say that his next shot may be his last if he cannot take the title from Gino Hernandez! Masked Superstar defeated SD Jones -Masked Superstar continues to be relevant by defeating Jones. He is big and strong and someone not to be messed with. The Russians defeated Rick McGraw, Johnny Rodz, & Brady Boone -Some fun six-man action with the Russians jumping all over these guys. The real star is Nikita who rips McGraw’s head off with a Russian Sickle for the 1…2….3! ­-Footage was show from Terry Funk attacking the Briscoes the other night in MSG. We see the aftermath of the beat down and subsequent suspension of Terry and his brother Dory from the WWF for their actions. **However on Superstars we hear that the WWF Board of Directors is looking to put a commissioner in for the WWF as a leader and someone to call the shots. No Word on who that will be yet. Big Fred Ottman vs The Barbarian w/ Kevin Sullivan -A nice main event to continue the secondary feud of Hulk Hogan on television as his buddy, Big Fred takes on the Barbarian tonight. Before too long it turns into a down and out brawl as the One Man Gang comes out as they attempt to dismantle Big Fred before Hogan comes down to make the save. We get a special announcement that NEXT WEEK, we will see Hulk Hogan and Fred Ottman teaming up against The Barbarian and the One Man Gang right here on Superstars!!!

11/10 Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Maple Leaf Gardens BATTLE OF THE SIX-MANS! The Canadian Connection vs The Army of Darkness Dino Bravo, Rick Martel, & Missing Link vs Kevin Sullivan, The Barbarian, & Jake Roberts SOLE SURVIVORS: Dino Bravo & Rick Martel *Highlight of the match was Martel vs Roberts who blew the roof off things. Los Guerreros vs The Russians Chavo, Hector, & Mando Guerrero vs Ivan Koloff, Nikita Koloff, & Krusher Kruschev SOLE SURVIVORS: Nikita Koloff *Nikita tore Mando’s head off his body. Chavo hit the Moonsault on Krusher Kruschev to a huge pop! Team Savage vs Gino’s Mercenaries Randy Savage, Afa, & Sika vs Gino Hernandez, One Man Gang, & Masked Superstar w/ Woman SOLE SURVIVORS: Randy Savage w/ Elizabeth *Savage came back from 3-1 and was last in the ring with Hernandez who fled after Savage tried to hit him with the flying elbow! The Samoan vs Roddy’s Rowdys Jimmy Snuka, Tonga Kid, & Haku vs Roddy Piper, Bob Orton, & Samu SOLE SURVIVORS: Roddy Piper *Piper got some MAJOR heat throughout the match and pinned Snuka with a hand full of tights. Briscoe & Bulldogs vs The Hart Foundation Jack Briscoe, Dynamite Kid, & Davey Boy Smith vs Dory Funk, Bret Hart, & Jim Neidhart SOLE SURVIVORS: The British Bulldogs *The Briscoes and Funk were pure chaos as loud chants of TERRY were heard but he was nowhere to be found. Can-Am Connection vs Heenan Family Tony Atlas, Jacques Rougeau, & Ray Rougeau vs Rick Rude, King Kong Bundy, & Hercules w/ Bobby Heenan SOLE SURVIVORS: Rick Rude & King Kong Bundy w/ Bobby Heenan *Rude and Heenan mended their differences and the team worked out quite well here. There was some miscommunication with the Rougeuas and Atlas but ultimately it was Bundy’s size that told this tale… Hulkamaniacs vs Heenan Family Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, & Tito Santana vs Nick Bockwinkel, Big John Studd, & Greg Valentine SOLE SURVIVORS: Hulk Hogan & Andre the Giant *Tito Santana and Greg Valentine were double dq when they fought out into the crowd! Bockwinkel ended up by himself with Andre and Hogan and endured a nice beat down before going down with the Leg Drop from Hogan!

WWF Wrestling Challenge Gorilla Monsoon & Bobby The Brain Heenan in studio Matches from Poughkeepsie, NY – Mid-Hudson Civic Center The Hart Foundation w/ Jimmy Hart defeated The Youngbloods -Good showcase for the Foundation who are firing on all cylinders right now. Bret is really progressing in the ring and the Anvil is pure power. ­-Footage was show from Terry Funk attacking the Briscoes the other night in MSG. We see the aftermath of the beat down and subsequent suspension of Terry and his brother Dory from the WWF for their actions. Tony Atlas defeated Dominic DeNucci -A good showing from Atlas who is getting bigger and stronger by the day. Bobby Heenan is pushing the Hercules feud big here. Jake Roberts w/ Kevin Sullivan defeated Barry Horowitz -Jake continues his dastardly ways through Horowitz this week. He is starting to get over with the fans even with the heat that Sullivan brings. Nick Bockwinkel w/ Bobby Heenan defeated Jim Brunzell -Bockwinkel is top notch here with his “REAL” World Title belt and Heenan is going nuts putting him over. Brunzell does a good job making Bock look like a million dollars but he doesn’t need to do much. Bock works the neck and finishes with a nice sleeper hold for the submission. He gloats around with the title belt asking about where’s Hogan? Where’s Hogan?

Brutus is going to have a similar run as someone else who would have arrived in the WWF in around 1986/1987. He may not be best suited for his role right now but something could change to make that better.

WWF on Tour 11/7 – 11/9 Dayton, OH – Hara Arena Cincinnati, OH – Cincinnati Gardens Cleveland, OH – Convention Center Jake Roberts, Kevin Sullivan, & The Barbarian defeated Brutus Beefcake, Brian Blair, & Jim Brunzell Big Fred Ottman defeated Johnny Rodz One Man Gang defeated The Youngbloods Tony Atlas defeated Hercules John Studd & King Kong Bundy defeated Jack & Jerry Briscoe WWF CHAMPIONSHIP Hulk Hogan © defeated Nick Bockwinkel & Bobby Heenan WWF on Tour 11/7 – 11/9 Asbury Park, NJ – Convention Hall Passaic, NJ – Capitol Theatre West Warwick, RI – Civic Center The British Bulldogs vs The Hart Foundation went to a 20-minute draw Haku & Tonga defeated Los Conquistadors Masked Superstar defeated Rick McGraw TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP The Russians © defeated The Guerreros INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP Gino Hernandez © defeated Sgt. Slaughter ELIMINATION TAG Randy Savage & Jimmy Snuka defeated Roddy Piper & Bob Orton

11/4 New York City, New York – Madison Square Garden Haku & Tonga vs The Barbarian & Kevin Sullivan -We get to see Haku & Tonga really come together. Sullivan just can’t seem to keep up with them all the while, the Barbarian’s power is the deciding factor. We get some miss-confusion before the Barbarian powerslams Tonga for the 1…2….3! Tony Atlas vs Big John Studd w/ Bobby Heenan -Big John Studd is just working on a different level right now. Tony Atlas looks good but can’t seem to get anything going on the big man who ends up with a big suplex and then an elbow on his throat that seems to have hurt him pretty good. We get the 3-count for Studd but Atlas doesn’t look like he’s doing too well. SIX-MAN CAGE MATCH Jimmy Snuka & The Briscoe Brothers vs Roddy Piper, Bob Orton, & Masked Cowboy -A purely brutal six-man tag… but inside the cage, it is every man for himself. We get a taste of Piper and Snuka as this masked cowboy doesn’t seem to give away his identity. The first escapees are Snuka and Piper who fight up at the top of the cage and then make their way down before going to the back. The next sequence is quite interesting… we see Jerry Briscoe make his way out of the cage and seemingly the Cowboy and Orton let him go which gives them the 2 on 1 to Jack. They begin to wear him down in a bad way. Jerry is cheering him on but out of the back… OH MY! -THAT’S TERRY FUNK! TERRY FUNK IS HERE! He has attacked Jerry Briscoe from behind with a branding Iron! He is hammering away at him as Jack sees this he tries to escape the cage to help him but we see the Masked Cowboy rip off his mask… IT IS DORY FUNK! Dory climbs up and we see a back suplex off the cage! OH MY! Terry jumps in the cage and shakes hands with Ace before just kicking Jack Briscoe right in the skull! Terry and Dory pick up Jack for a SPIKE PILEDRIVER! OH MY! He is laid out in the middle of the ring while the Funks and Orton step out of the cage and they may have “won” the match but there is definitely more to the story here. The crowd is going nuts throwing debris at the Funks as security is escorting them to the back. This is pure chaos. *INTERMISSION* Chavo Guerrero vs Krusher Kruschev -After intermission, we get to calm things down a bit. Chavo Guerrero is really getting some momentum as a singles competitor and he shows off the skills right here tonight against Kruschev. In the final moments, we see a big head scissor take down leading to Chavo Guerrero hitting the MOONSAULT on Kruschev for the 1…2…3! The MSG crowd pops huge for the big move as Chavo is gaining steam by the day! Mark & Jay Youngblood vs One Man Gang & Jake Roberts w/ Kevin Sullivan -An odd pairing with the Gang and Jake, but they work well together. They handle the Youngbloods with no problem who just can’t seem to get any kind of offense going. In the end we see Jake nail Mark with a DDT followed by the Gang coming with a huge 747 SPLASH for the 1…2…3! MAIN EVENT Hulk Hogan & Randy Savage w/ Miss Elizabeth vs Nick Bockwinkel & Gino Hernandez w/ Bobby Heenan & Woman -A great 20-minute main event with the top four guys in the WWF right now. The primary work is done by Savage against Gino and Bock but when Hogan comes in the house comes unglued! The real highlight of the match is seeing the auro around Hogan vs Bock and then the work done by Gino and Savage. The finish is messy but fun to see as Savage comes off the top rope with a double axe handle smash to Hernandez who runs into a AXE BOMBER from Hogan for the 1….2…3! We see Bockwinkel try to steal Hogan’s belt but he comes out to stop him! The crowd gets to see Hogan and Savage pose as the show closes out.

WWF Superstars Vince McMahon & Jesse the Body Ventura Matches from Allentown, PA – Agricultural Hall Bob Orton Jr defeated Johnny Rodz -A nice showcase for Orton who hasn’t really been in action much as of late on television. Vince and Jesse put over his alliance with Roddy Piper and how they have been getting the best of Snuka and the Samoans. Ace gets a nice piledriver on Johnny Rodz for the 1…2…3! Orton looks good tonight and he has definitely got the goods! *COMMERCIAL* Masked Superstar defeated Bob Bradley -Masked Superstar continues to showcase why he is one of the toughest men in wrestling. He is coming along well and just being a little more vicious in the ring. We see him nail Bradley with the Cobra Clutch Slam and that is really all she wrote. Superstar looks good as Vince and Jesse put him over in a big way. *COMMERCIAL* Sgt. Slaughter defeated Omar Atlas -Like the Superstar, Sgt. Slaughter looks good tonight. Vince and Jesse really pump him up as one of the premiere stars in wrestling. Unlike Superstar, Slaughter locks Atlas in with the Cobra Clutch for the submission. Sarge continues to impress here, and one has to wonder what his next step will be! *COMMERCIAL* HERCULES TEST OF STRENGTH -An interesting little vignette with Hercules flexing his muscles while Heenan pumps him up in a big way. We see Gorilla out there as Hercules is going to pull a car around the roof. Gorilla asks if he should get in the car and steer while Heenan says it would add to much extra weight! Heenan has got a midget come in and steer. He says that this guy is a professional… right. Anyways, Hercules starts to pull the car and Gorilla wonders why the car is on and there is smoke coming out of the muffler but Heenan assures him that the car has to be on. In a nice little 4-minute showcase, Hercules pulls the car around the roof and at some points it seems like Hercules has to out pull the car which is moving forward towards him. He comes across the line and Gorilla is skeptical on the whole thing as Heenan continues to put it over. Hercules is sweating bullets… Gorilla ends things that Atlas could do this with no problem. *COMMERCIAL* MAIN EVENT The Briscoe Brothers vs Big John Studd & King Kong Bundy w/ Bobby Heenan -A lot of build to this big encounter as Jesse and Vince are pumping this up in the biggest way. We get to see a nice 11-minute contest with the Briscoes just a big overmatched in the size department. John Studd is really showing off his skills tonight, as he is the general with Bundy being the power for all intensive purposes. We see Heenan get involved and he ends up being the ace in the hole! It comes down to chaos with all four men in the ring. We see Jack and Studd battle outside the ring. Heenan gets up on the apron where Jerry grabs him but Heenan moves into the corner and holds him for Bundy to hit an AVALANCHE! Bundy hits again and Briscoe is in a bad way as he goes down and Bundy covers for a 1…2…3!! Bundy and Studd are the new number one contenders! Heenan is going nuts outside the ring as Jack has to check on Jerry. This could be some seriously bad news as he is holding on to his ribs. When will we see the Russians vs Bundy & Studd? It is going to be huge!

WWF Wrestling Challenge Gorilla Monsoon & Bobby The Brain Heenan in studio Matches from Allentown, PA – Agricultural Hall Killer Bees defeated Rick McGraw & Brady Boone -A good showcase for Blair and Brunzell who have been building together over the last couple of weeks. We see them double up all over Boone and McGraw before we see a big suplex from Blair followed by a Splash off the top rope from Brunzell for the 1…2….3! Gorila and Bobby put them over in a big way and wonder how they would fair against the Russians! *COMMERCIAL* Jake The Snake Roberts defeated SD Jones Jake Roberts: It seems like people fail to understand what man’s biggest fear really is. It is the fear of the unknown. It is not knowing what you are faced with and not knowing what is going to happen next. Everyone in the WWF is afraid right now… they don’t know who or what I am, but I can tell you this… I am Jake the Snake and if you aren’t careful I am going to sneak up and I will suffocate everything you’ve got and drop with you with the DDT before you can even blink! *COMMERCIAL* HERCULES TEST OF STRENGTH -An interesting little vignette with Hercules flexing his muscles while Heenan pumps him up in a big way. We see Gorilla out there as Hercules is going to pull a car around the roof. Gorilla asks if he should get in the car and steer while Heenan says it would add to much extra weight! Heenan has got a midget come in and steer. He says that this guy is a professional… right. Anyways, Hercules starts to pull the car and Gorilla wonders why the car is on and there is smoke coming out of the muffler but Heenan assures him that the car has to be on. In a nice little 4-minute showcase, Hercules pulls the car around the roof and at some points it seems like Hercules has to out pull the car which is moving forward towards him. He comes across the line and Gorilla is skeptical on the whole thing as Heenan continues to put it over. Hercules is sweating bullets… Gorilla ends things that Atlas could do this with no problem. *COMMERCIAL* Jimmy Snuka defeated Victor Rivera Jimmy Snuka: WHOO WHOO! Roddy Piper… you have disgraced me and my heritage… you have tried to injure me and my brothers… Roddy Piper… I am coming for you brother man… I am coming for all my people… I am coming for my country and Roddy Piper… I am going to show you why they call me the SUPERFLY! *COMMERCIAL* MAIN EVENT Big Fred Ottman vs The One Man Gang w/ Kevin Sullivan -A nice main event with Big Fred Ottman getting his first big time shot. He has faced the Gang before, but not with this kind of momentum. He handles the Gang well in this big man contest as Gorilla and Bobby really give it its just due but they continually put over how the Gang is on a whole different level. We see Sullivan continue to get involved outside the ring before the crowd erupts when Hulk Hogan comes out! Hogan runs down to the ring and nails Sullivan into the ring post! The Gang comes outside the ring and chaos ensues! It is Hogan and the One Man Gang fighting in the aisle! Here comes the Barbarian! He attacks Hogan as Big Fred comes out and we see he and Hogan fighting off the Army! They get in the ring and challenge them but nothing doing as Hogan and Big Fred just work the crowd as Gorilla and Bobby say this is the beginning of something big!

All set.

That October 21st taping could have been main evented by any of those matches. I personally liked the six-man and was very surprised by the outcome. I know you don't get a lot of time to do this but when you do, you definitely do some serious work.

Can I get Terry on November the 4th?

WWF Superstars Vince McMahon & Jesse the Body Ventura Matches from Hamburg, PA – The Fieldhouse Vince: Welcome everyone to the Superstars of Wrestling! I am Vince McMahon alongside Jesse the Body Ventura! Jesse we are here in Hamburg PA and what a great card we have got lined up for the fans… Jesse: Don’t you be jumping the gun McMahon… we need to go back in time… Vince: Yes, we do have some footage from last week… Jesse: HAHA… I have been waiting all week to see this again! Vince: Fans let’s take a look back at what happened last week when Hulk Hogan took on the Barbarian! Hulk Hogan vs The Barbarian w/ Kevin Sullivan -Hulk Hogan is over. Plain and simple. He has got the crowd eating out of the palm of his hand and there is no stopping the momentum that he brings with him inside the ring every night. Against the Barbarian, Hogan is going against a strong, green opponent who is giving his a good run for his money. This one gets a little bit of time and we get to see where Barb is. He shows off his strength and ability while still selling for the Hulkster. In the end we see Kevin Sullivan trying to get involved which leads to Barbarian nailing him with a big boot… then Hogan hitting Barbarian with an AXE BOMBER for the 1…2…3! -When the match concludes… Hogan begins to pose but Sullivan isn’t done. He serves as a distraction for the ONE MAN GANG to come out and attack Hogan! He nails him from behind and then it is a beat-down of epic proportions! We see Barb and Sulllivan holding Hogan who gets nailed with the 747 SPLASH once but before long we have Big Fred Ottman rumbling down to the ring! He gets in as the Army scatters. Hogan is in a serious way and Jesse is putting this through the roof as he says the Champions Career MAY BE OVER!!! Hulk Hogan: As you can see right there… the powerful force of the One Man Gang coming down on my ribs was like a hurricane crashing down on my body! I sat there in pain, knowing that it could have been the end, but then I looked out… I saw the eyes of all the Hulkamaniacs. I saw the tears come down their faces and that was just what I needed to find a way to survive. Those tears hurt me more than any splash or slam! I don’t ever want my Hulkamaniacs to fear that kind of fear or hurt… but if you believe in Hulkamania… you know that what goes around comes around and One Man Gang… it is time for things to come around DUDE! I am putting you and everyone on Kevin Sullivan’s little army on notice brother… I am the WWF Champion, but what I am going to do to you will not be very championship worthy. I am going to beat you down like the low down dirty dogs that you are and I am going to stand up for all my Hulkamaniacs that watched it go down last week. I am going to stand up for every man that you have hurt on your rise to the top. I am going to stand up for myself… it is the most important thing to believe in yourself and One Man Gang… if they believe… I believe… and you believe me… I AM COMING FOR PAYBACK and WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN HULKAMANIA RUNS WILD ON YOUUUUU!!! *COMMERCIAL* -Jesse and Vince return to put over the big one on one match between Hogan and the Gang down the line. They talk about some of the up and coming contenders like Roddy Piper and his recent feud with Jimmy Snuka. They put over the team of Haku and Tonga that has come from this feud and how they’ve got a bright future in the WWF. We get to see them in action tonight as we cut to the ring. Tonga & Haku defeated Los Conquistadors -A fun little showcase for Haku and Tonga who are really coming together. At one point we see Haku get kicked in the mouth and shake it off. He has definitely got some toughness and it is on tap here tonight. We see Haku with a Samoan Drop and Tonga coming off with the flying headbutt for the 1…2….3!! The crowd gives them some love as they are early in their rise but a lot of upside. *COMMERCIAL* -Vince and Jesse are back talking about the six-man team of the Guerreros. They talk about their feud with the Russian and how they have challenged them to a brawl, anytime, anywhere. Jesse says the Russians are just too big for the Guerreros and it would be a slaughter. Vince talks about the unity of brothers and what that can mean to a team. Jesse says it is going to come down to more than just blood. Chavo Guerrero defeated Brady Boone -A nice showcase for Chavo who continues to outshine the other Guerreros. He has got a fun pace inside the ring and really just brings his A game week in and week out. We see a couple of DEEP arm drags before a nice he nails a nice DELAYED SUPLEX! He looks out to the crowd and then goes up to the top rope and MOONSAULT! The crowd is unsure of what they just saw here! He gets the 1…2….3 as Jesse and Vince are going wild on commentary… what have we just seen? *COMMERCIAL* -Jesse and Vine return putting over the big Moonsault from Chavo Guerrero. They talk about the up and coming Big Fred Ottman who got the chance of a lifetime a week ago teaming with Andre and Hogan. Jesse says this guy is in the deep end of the water and he may drown before it is all said and done. We get to see him in action tonight… Big Fred Ottman defeated Barry Horowitz Big Fred: Last week was a dream come true… I got to team with my two heroes, Andre the Giant and Hulk Hogan! These are the two biggest stars in all of wrestling and I got a chance to step in the ring and get a victory. That experience is going to stay with me forever and I am going to take it to the ring with me, week in and week out! *COMMERCIAL* -Jesse and Vince return to put over the big tag team tournament. They talk about the Briscoes beating the Hart Foundation on Wrestling Challenge and how the winner of our main event will face the Briscoes next week here on Superstars. Jesse says that Bundy and Studd are his picks and he doesn’t think they will lose and they could even beat the Russians! We head to the ring for this big tag team main event! MAIN EVENT The British Bulldogs vs King Kong Bundy & Big John Studd w/ Bobby Heenan -A really fun main event as these are four bonified stars in the WWF right now. We get to see the Bulldogs work their best against the big men but for the 10-minutes of the match, they keep up a break-neck pace! Bundy and Studd are caught off guard as Heenan tries to keep them going in the right direction but the teamwork of the Bulldogs is proving to be on point. The big turning point comes when Heenan serves as a distraction and Dynamite gets just absolutely destroyed by Bundy in the corner. He is selling his ribs in a big way as Davey Boy is trying to get the crowd going. The finish is hot as we see Dynamite go for a big tag to Davey Boy as Studd tags in Bundy first. Davey goes for the tag but Heenan gets the attention of the referee as Dynamite tags Davey who comes in like a house of fire! He is nailing Bundy and Studd and he looks great but the referee is pushing him back! He never saw the tag! Bundy and Studd go and pick up Dynamite for a double body slam! Davey is hurting his partner at this point as Bundy hits the ropes and BIG SPLASH! Bundy pins as Studd comes over to hold off Davey for the 1…2….3! Bundy and Studd are going to face the Briscoes next week! The crowd is hot and they are throwing debris at Heenan who gets his men out of the ring. This is pandemonium!

Summer of 1980 in the Mid South Territory to watch the feud with the JYD vs the Freebirds go and then head to the Superdome for the blow off and to see some undercard match between Andre and some Hogan guy...
