Glad Luke and Butch can find a good home here in the NWA. They are definitely better than what I had for them in this setting. Tully as the champion is just the right kind of shot in the arm a company could use and he's a great candidate for someone to push things to the next level. Add in the Ric Flair revenge tour 1988 and NWA has got a busy summer planned!

Can I confirm getting Akbar as my 5th?

Bad News and Nikita are the prime timers right now in the AWA and their courses will hopefully collide soon. Larry Z as a champ/champ would have also been a fun thing to see play out.

It usually takes a moment for a promotion to get its identity but you've done that already here with Memphis. I like role of Bob Armstrong in this situation. He always had a little more to add at this stage. Shane Douglas looks great and Jeff Jarrett.... you've got some young guns who are locked and loaded!

This is simple and easy to follow and fun! I like Dark Journey's role here.... she is an underestimated woman in the world of wrestling. Pier 6 brawls are the best ways to end a show!

The two night events are coming in hot and heavy and Barry v Bret is a main event anywhere in the country at this point.

I absolutely loved the Crrockett Cup! I love the way you have the lower - medium shows and build up to these bigger shows. It's a testament to your work and creativity. This one definitely delivered! NWA World Tag Team Champions The Rock n Roll Express (Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson)(NWA) defeat NWA United States Tag Team Champions The New Breed (Chris Champion & Sean Royal)(NWA) with a double dropkick on Champion. This was a big time match for me. Champion v Champion is always something and to see one of the teams lose must hurt their chances to keep the gold in the future! The Midnight Express (Bobby Eaton & Stan Lane)(PCW) w/Jim Cornette defeat The Original Midnight Express (Randy Rose & Dennis Condrey)(AWA) w/Norvell Austin when Eaton pinned Rose with the "Alabama Jam". Austin tried to intervene but Cornette whacked him with his tennis racket. I am glad this one happened. A great build up and showcase in the middle of this bigger event. NWA World Tag Team Champions The Rock n Roll Express (Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson)(NWA) defeat Mid-South Tag Team Champions Hercules Hernandez &Scott Steiner (Mid-South) when Morton countered a butterfly suplex into an inside cradle. The two teams shake hands after the match. Rock N Roll continue to showcase their dominance. They take down another pair of champions! The Midnight Express (Bobby Eaton & Stan Lane)(PCW) w/Jim Cornette defeat NWA World Tag Team Champions The Rock n Roll Express (Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson)(NWA) I really wanted to know a little more with this one. I wanted to see what happened. I was pulling for Rock N Roll so hard and then they fall. NWA World Heavyweight Title Tully Blanchard defeats "Nature Boy" Ric Flair(c) after JJ gets on the apron only to catch a right hand from flair which sends him crashing to the floor. While the ref is checking on Dillon, Terry Taylor gets in the ring and hits the "Five-arm" on Flair as he's setting up the figure four. TITLE CHANGE!!! This is an interesting turn of events.... If it could have been anyone else IRL... Tully may have been the guy. This is the beginning but really the start of something bigger for him in this world of wrestling. The Minnesota Wrecking Crew (Arn & Ole Anderson)(NWA) defeat The Midnight Express (Bobby Eaton & Stan Lane)(PCW) w/ Jim Cornette. After a ref bump Eaton hits the "Alabama Jam" on Arn and goes for the cover. Brad Anderson comes from the crowd and hits a top rope knee drop before rolling the pair over so Arn's on top. He then revives the ref and he & Ole keep Lane & Cornette at bay. Three seconds later, the Andersons are one million dollars richer. Okay... I said I loved it... and I did... but DAMN... this is a big moment... and in 1988... it is setting the NWA up for the rest of the year in a big way. Awesome show - I would have loved to see more about the Rock N Roll but it was a great event and definitely turned some heads.

World Championship Wrestling Saturday April 29 St. Louis, Missouri Bockwinkle joins Tony Schiavone and DDP for our opening this week. He says that he has the US title. Randy Savage relinquishes the US title in order to cash in his number one contendership. If he wins, there will be a match next week between the top two contenders for the US title. If he loses, Randy Savage must face the number one contender next week for the US title. The American Psycho Crush defeated Bobby Blaze via the top rope clothesline! The Twin Towers defeated Geoffrey Mince and Kyle Longshark via the 747 Splash! Rockers come out and cut a promo. They discuss the issue with the Twin Towers and say that the dotted line needs to be signed… but not by them… but by Slick! Slick walks over with the Towers and he holds the contract. He starts to smile and walks away with the Towers. He has the contract but doesn’t sign? What’s his play here? We see a quick video recap of the Savage and Steamboat issue. We then cut to the ring. We’ve got over 60-minutes with tv time remaining. This is literally the biggest match in the history of WCW. We get grand entrances from both men. They get in the ring and shake hands and here we go! WCW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Ricky Steamboat © vs Randy Macho Man Savage w/ Elizabeth These two feel one another out early on The crowd is really digging this one early on and appear to be split 50/50 Steamboat is first to get some offense in and he takes control Savage is cunning and smooth and he finds a way to counter himself into control and now he’s working on Steamboat who sells like there is no tomorrow! Savage with his signature top rope hangman on Steamboat and he goes crashing back into the ring. It’s the 15-minute mark and Savage is up top for a big DOUBLE AX HANDLE SMASH! Can you feel it? Is Savage going to do this? Savage goes up top and lines up for an ELBOW DROP but Steamboat moves! Savage goes crashing down and he looks to be in a bad way. Steamboat then goes into a series and he is holding off Savage but when Steamboat runs by him Savage tosses Steamboat out of the ring to the floor! Savage then goes up top and sets up… Steamboat struggles to get up but here comes Savage with another ax-handle smash but Steamboat moves and Savage goes crashing into the guardrail! Savage is down and he’s clinching his elbow! Steamboat rolls into the ring Elizabeth is over there checking on Savage… the referee is counting 8….9….10! Steamboat has won the match but he goes out to check on Savage as well! We have officials and agents come out… Savage appears to have severely hurt his elbow. They are carrying him to the back - Elizabeth is crying - Savage is in serious pain! We’re back on WCW and DDP and Schiavone are putting over the happening with Savage. They hope to have a word soon. We see Michael Hayes come out a cut an impromptu promo. He puts himself over and talks about the TV title being the only title right now in WCW that has true meaning and value. He is going to defend this title week in and week out and he’ll start next week! Bam Bam Bigelow defeated Jim Knight via the top rope headbutt! We’re back on WCW and Schiavone has word that Randy Savage has possibly broken his elbow or dislocated it. They are taking him to a local medical facility. Rick Steamboat is currently with him. We’ll have more next week… now it is time for our main event! Dusty vs Ivan Koloff is a cluster of a main event but these two know how to work the crowd. This match is full of outside interference with The Pitbulls getting involved with the chain… Orton and Race putting the boots to Rhodes. Ivan plays the game and keeps the referee out of the loop. Dusty is able to make a sort of comeback before the Pitbulls enter the ring and the DQ finish. It is a 5 on 1…. Then… HOOOOOOOO! Hacksaw Jim Duggan comes out of the back with the 2x4! Hacksaw comes out and starts swinging away and the Russians, Orton, and Race all make haste. Duggan helps up Dusty… looks like his initial reinforcement is here but will it be enough? Find out next week!

Sounds like... if I am correct... I ended up with Masa Chono (with no restrictions until 1990?) and then I can place my claim once again on Tiger Mask 2 and get him for 3 months. Tiger Mask 2 would be May - June- July

I would say this... if Tiger Mask 2 is a no... I would amend the claim for Masa Chono. He should fit the criteria.

So Tiger Mask 2 is a no. Not even for an excursion. I am not trying to bloat the roster - but rather have some international talent to build up an identity in the promotion. I will stop at Tiger Mask 2 if he is the limit - or before - Just let me know the ruling and I will abide.

So the rule of us bringing in foreign talent is a no go? What about for an excursion where they can only wrestle for 3-6 months? Then he’d be free again?

I will sign Yoshihiro Asai - he'll be wrestling under a hood as Azure Dragon I would like resign skandar akbar as my 5th manager id like to make a claim to have Mitsuraha Misawa as Tiger Mask 2

Okay - then I will set a claim for Yoshihiro Asai - he'll be wrestling under a hood as Azure Dragon

I'd like to make a claim on Ultimo Dragon. A young lion at this point in his career but was on his way up.

World Championship Wrestling Saturday April 22 Kansas City, Missouri Currently on tour in Japan: The Road Warriors, Terry Gordy, Great Muta, Dan Spivey, and Chris Benoit. WCW opens with Tony and DDP pumping up the big show. They are joined by Nick Bockwinkle who is holding the WCW Television Championship.

Bockwinkle says that Muta will be here next week to address the fans. Tonight, we’ll see a special six-man battle royal and a new television champion will be crowned! The crowd is shocked but excited. Then the crowd pops… it is Randy Savage! He comes out and talks to Bockwinkle… they leave the area… what is happening here? Time to go into our opening match… Bam Bam Bigelow defeated Mitchel Simpson via the top rope headbutt! Bigelow walks over and lets DDP and Tony know that he may be a man on his own… but on my own is the way I want to be. Alone, I will walk through the fire and come out hotter than ever! I want everyone to know that Bam Bam is coming and I’ve got a fire coming with me! Jimmy Snuka vs Sabu ends in a DQ when Taz gets involved. Then… to the delight of the fans… here comes KAMALA! Kamala comes out and starts patting his belly and chopping away at Taz and Sabu! Snuka then with a big dropkick and Sabu goes out of the ring. Snuka then holds out his hand… Kamala…. He isn’t sure… but then he holds his hand up and Snuka with a high five! My gosh… is Kamala buddies with Snuka now? We’re back with WCW and DDP is putting over the tv title battle royal tonight. He announces that Haku, Z-Man, Mark Madness, Koko Ware, and Johnny Ace will be involved. Tony asks who the sixth man will be…DDP then shines and says that a secret he knows and the world is going to find out! We then see the debut of a newcomer… he hails from Tombstone, Arizona. The American Psycho… CRUSH! Crush comes out to a lot of confusion. This guy is 6’6”... he’s over 300 pounds… the hair draped over his face… he is a monster. He destroys Mikey Conrad and finishes things with a choke… then a SLAM!Crush gets up and looks in the camera and then makes a slit the throat sign… oh my… As Crush walks into the darkness… we see Randy Savage come back out and he’s got Nick Bockwinkle with him…. Savage then calls out Ricky Steamboat… he’ll join us when we come back! We’re back… Ricky Steamboat comes out… Randy Savage then goes on… Randy: Rick… I am very happy to have you come out tonight brother. You know the last couple of months… we’ve been hanging and banging brother. We’ve been running wild like nothing before. (Steamboat nods in agreement) But brother… things… things sometimes come to an end. (Steamboat looks surprised) This title right here… (US Title)... this is the title of the United States… but I want that title… the WORLD TITLE! Steamboat shakes his head and asks why… Savage points out that he’s the number one contender and he is putting the US title up and cashing in his shot for the world title! Does Steamboat accept?! Bockwinkle then tries to pull Steamboat back… what in the world is he going to choose? The Nasty Boys defeated Sam Wallace & Pauly Koons via the middle rope elbow! The Rockers cut a promo on the Twin Towers who come out and challenge them to a brawl right now… The Rockers know better and get out alive this week. Slick says he has got the contract right here… he is making some arrangements and wants this to be and smooth as he is. Schaivone tries to challenge them to sign it now but Slick says no way no how baby. We’re back on WCW and out walks Konnan and he’s got some buddies with him. He brings out Solar (Red), Silver King (Silver), and Blue Demon Jr! (Blue) He says that it is time for the invasion of WCW with some of the best talents from across the world and these three are going to show everyone what high flying is all about! Solar - Silver King - Blue Demon Jr win a six-man tag against John & Mark Ryans and Vance Coolings via a triple dropkick! Dusty Rhodes walks out to call out the Alliance… he says he is going to get some bad dudes from the Block to come down and whoop some booty baby! He is challenging Koloff… anytime… anywhere… We’re back and out come Harley Race and Bob Orton. Then we see Koloff bring out the Russian Pitbulls. The Russian Pitbulls defeated Sam Joseph & Alvin Styliski via the Russian Hammer (Hart Breaker double finish). We then see everyone over by Schiavone and DDP. Harley Race says that the challenge for Rhodes is for the World at War pay per view next month. He says that these five men are going to put a beating on Dusty Rhodes that he’ll never be able to come back from! Ivan Koloff then says he is going to be here next week and he’s going to challenge Dusty Rhodes to come out and fight him…. He thinks he’ll be too yellow to accept it! WCW is back… and out walks Ricky Steamboat. He says that he and Randy Savage have been in the ring before but he prefers to fight alongside of him rather than against him. Savage then walks out… Steamboat says that he accepts the challenge of Randy Savage… next week for the World Title! They shake hands and Savage holds his arm up. We got a world title match next week! We then see the entrants for the TV Title come out… over the top or pinfall/submission. Then we see the final entrant… The Freebird! Michael PS Hayes! TV Title Battle Royal Johnny Ace - Koko Ware - Z-Man - Haku - Mark Madness - Michael Hayes This is a pretty quick and fun battle royal. We see the strength of Haku and Madness. The teamwork on Koko, Zenk, and Ace is on display. Haku and Madness then start in on one another and start going towards the ropes. On the other side of the ring, Michael Hayes with a clothesline on Ace and he goes out of the ring to the floor! Koko and Zenk then come over and double up to get Haku and Madness but here comes Hayes and he pulls everyone… we see a big tumble to the floor! Hayes thinks he won it… but wait… Koko… Koko goes up top and comes off with a huge dropkick right to the face of Hayes! Koko is one fire and Hayes is reeling from the shots!

He says there is plenty of gold out there and he plans to get his hands on it once again! The Twin Towers destroy the Wallace Twins via the 747! The Towers walk over and here come the Rockers! Slick says it is time to find out just who is the cream of the crop if you will. Michaels and Jannetty say they don’t work for peanuts and small crowds but rather for big money in sold out venues across the country. They say to offer up the contract and put some money on it to see who walks out on top! Konnan vs Conquistador 1 turns into a 2 on 1 beatdown. Chris Benoit is in Japan and Konnan is left alone. The Conquistadors work him over before officials and agents come out to break things up. The Mexican champion looks to be in rough shape. Koko Ware flew to victory over Mike Newton via the top rope dropkick! Macho Man and Liz then come out. Randy Savage says he has got to talk to Ricky Steamboat but Tony puts over how he’s in Japan defending the title. Savage asks if he’ll be back next week… Schiavone says yes and Macho says he’ll see him next week! Kamala vs Taz turns out to be a DQ finish after these two brawl all over ringside. Here comes Sabu and now he is joining Taz as they beatdown on Kamala. Wait a minute… OMG… Off the stage here comes Jimmy Snuka! He is coming to the side of… Kamala? What in the hell is going on here. Snuka and Kamala fight off Taz and Sabu… then they look at one another… Kamala runs to the back… what in the hell was that? Dusty Rhodes comes out to cut a scathing promo on Harley Race and his crew. Dusty says that he has been up against the odds before… he has had to fight for his life before… but this is going to be his final showdown. He says that Harley Race has set the stage but the American Dream is going to burn it down baby! He says that on May the 28th… WCW is going to hold an event… a special event called World at War… he is challenging Race for that event… he brings his crew and Dusty will bring his and we’ll see just who has it all when the smoke clears! Michael Hayes defeated Johnny Ace after a nasty DDT! Ace and Michael put on a fun little 8-minute match. Ace gets some offense… looks good… but Hayes is cunning and fights back for the win. Hayes then comes over to DDP and Schiavone… Hayes: Listen up and listen good… the other night they thought they clipped the wings of the Freebirds and maybe that did happen but there is one Freebird standing strong right here. If I leave here tomorrow… would you still remember me? Huh? This Bird you cannot change and brother I am coming with the passion of 1,000 fires up my back! Put WCW on notice… I may be the only one left but damnit I am standing tall and things will never be the same!

Every single match has something to make it special.... very Mid Southian of you... and its a fun way to present things. Butch Reed vs Luger is a fun concept. Luger with Woman is still something I am excited about and how well that could have worked. Dibiase is continuing to be paramount when it comes to heel work and he's setting the stage higher and higher. I want to know if Dr. Death had sleeves on his Ref shirt?

I need to be more familair with some of your talent but I do appreciate the work you've put in so far and how well you fit in with the group. The graphics make things fun as well. I also download a TEW graphics folder to get my pics.

A great territory feel and this is right in your wheel house. Even in our conversations - you seem to be like Memphis in this world of 1988 that is expanding - you're showing how this Territory can be as strong as any other company even though it isn't as big. I will echo the others with Lawler's absence but it almost creates a better dynamic to build things up around him. I am hopeful to see some cream rise to the top and take on Lawler when the time or if the time comes.

I loved that tag tournament concept. Makes it feel important while also building up the Crockett Cup. Champaign Slam is going to be a fun show and your build ups have been great. Bad News and Carlos is a great main event and shows off how diverse the AWA is when it comes to talent... add in Nikita v Adams... and that big 10-man tag.... there's a little bit for everyone on this show.

Brody vs Finlay... I am sure no punches were pulled in that bout. "News from Mid-South Wrestling in Louisiana as Ernie Ladd had agreed to send two tough tag teams to the Crockett Cup. First up are the Mid-South Tag Team Champions Hercules Hernandez and Scott Steiner. Hernandez is a well traveled journeyman while Steiner is a prodigy who has been wowing fans and industry experts alike." This kind of stuff is why I love your product. You put in the little extra effort to make it mean just that much more. I am pumped to see how the CUP shakes out and who is going to face whom.

World Championship Wrestling Presents: Clash of the Champions II! Thursday April 13 Des Moines, Iowa The Z-Man vs Haku started the show off. Zenk was over with the crowd while Haku had some great heat. Z-man was able to fly around a little bit. He catches Haku off guard with a nasty top rope dropkick to finish things off to the delight of the fans! Johnny Ace vs Kamala ends up being a simple showcase… mainly for Kamala who is trying to be rebuilt into a monster. He handles Ace with ease and finishes with a nasty big splash! Bam Bam Bigelow vs Mark Madness is another showcase for Bam Bam who is rising back up in the ranks. He puts an end to Mark Madness here… nothing special but a nice solid ass whoopin for the Bammer. We get a huge powerslam to finish things off! WCW Television Championship Koko B Ware vs The Great Muta © is our first championship match of the night and Muta has risen to another level here in WCW. The special mask and the paint is just the top of the iceberg for this guy. He and Koko have a great match and it gets close to the 15-minute time limit. We near the end and Koko goes for the top rope dropkick but Muta side steps and hits the MYST! Muta winks at the crowd before he goes up top… Koko is slow to his feet and Muta with a moonsault on Koko and then the 3-count with just under a minute remaining in the match! Konnan & Chris Benoit vs the Conquistadors was a good tag team match with some low key lucha moves by Konnan and the Conquistadors with Benoit fitting right in. When Konnan and Benoit seemed to have things bottled up the Conquistadors were able to turn the tide but the fight went out of the ring to the floor. All four men were outside the ring for a double countout. Dusty Rhodes vs Dan Spivey ended up being kind of a messy situation. Dusty was busted open, again, early, and was a stuck pig most of the contest. Spivey looked strong here only for Dusty to fight back and no-sell. We saw a major ruckus take place when Spivey kicked Rhodes in the head and sent him to the ring floor. Out of the crowd - Ivan Koloff shows up and starts hammering away on Rhodes. Race comes over and he joins as well. It’s a 3 on 1 beatdown of Rhodes as officials and agents come out. WCW World Tag Team Championship The Killer Bees vs The Rockers © is a nice - fast paced contest with lots of tags. The Killer Bees really do look good here and have some nice continuity. The Rockers seem to be working on a different level right now and get control of the match. We see a Jannetty superkick set up a Shawn Michaels fist drop for the win and the Rockers continue to roll… that is until the Twin Towers come out and get right in their faces. Slick is in the middle of all of it and this could explode at any time! Jimmy Snuka vs Bob Orton Jr. is another fun little contest. Nothing crazy. Orton works well enough with Snuka and Jimmy is finding a way to be relevant again. He hits the Super Fly for the 3-count! MAIN EVENT BAD STREET BRAWL Randy Savage, Ricky Steamboat, & Mr. T vs The Fabulous Freebirds is a messy affair… namely with Mr. T and Buddy Jack who don’t appear to be in any shape to wrestle. Gordy carries a lot of the match with his power. Hayes has the showmanship that keeps it interesting. As all hell breaks loose we end up with all six men fighting. Savage and Gordy take their brawl out on the stage. Steamboat hits a huge cross body on Hayes and puts him down. Mr. T finally gets Buddy Jack up for an airplane spin and drops him for Macho Man to come down with an elbow right through his heart for the 3-count! While Steamboat, Savage, and T celebrate… Hayes and Gordy argue… uh oh…

World Championship Wrestling Saturday April 8 Dubuque, Iowa WCW opens this week with Tony Schiavone standing by…. Wait a minute… here’s some rock music… what is this…. Who is this? Good Gawd it is Diamond Dallas Page! DDP comes out and grabs the microphone from Tony Schiavone… DDP says he’s the new co-host of this show and he should be the headliner but the big wigs at WGN don’t know what to do with real talent. DDP says we got a whale of a show tonight… we got the World Champ here… the US Champ is here… and DDP is here… what more could you want? Good Gawd! Schiavone is flabbergasted as we head to the ring for our opening match! The Twin Towers defeated Mac Holliday & Justin Timbs via the 747 Splash! Slick walks over and slaps hands with DDP. They talk jive for a moment and then the Towers get on the line to let the world know they have got no fear when it comes to professional wrestling. They plan on taking down the Rockers and showing the World why they are the most dominant tag team in wrestling. Slick says it is only a matter of time before the world sees the destruction that the Twin Towers can do! We’re back from break and here come the Rockers. They talk about their big match with the Killer Bees this week at the Clash but they know the Twin Towers will be waiting in the wings. Marty and Shawn both point out how these two big bafoons are going to be in a world of hurt when they get done with them. The world is going to know why this gold belongs to the Rockers and there is nothing they can do about it! The Killer Bees defeated Tommy George & Mike Wallace via the Double Dropkick! Harley Race then walks out with Spivey, Orton, & Mark Madness. They make it real simple… tonight Rhodes and Bigelow face Spivey and MAdness and they’ll be lucky to make it out alive… but if they do… haha… at the Clash we will put the finishing touches on them once and for all! Tonight is the beginning of the end for Dusty Rhodes! We’re back from break and we get an elaborate entrance for the WCW Television Champion… the Great Muta! He comes out in his ceremonial head dress for his match and this guy has got star written all over him. The Great Muta defeated Mikey Bryant via the Top Rope Moonsault! Koko B Ware comes out and he let’s Muta know he isn’t going to be fooled this time. He is going to walk out with the tv title! Muta walks over and Koko continues to take some jabs… but then Muta with the MYST! Koko is blinded while Muta is putting the boots to him! Officials and agents run over to try and stop things. Muta makes the throat slash sign and points down at Koko who seems to be in a bad way before he even gets going! We have Johnny Ace and Tom Zenk come out and they work the crowd. They put over their big contests this week with Haku and Kamala. They talk about being contenders for the tv titles and want to get their shot sooner than later. Kamala defeated Skip Jackson and Mark Dukes via the count out when he threw both men out of the ring. Jimmy Snuka comes out to put over his match with Bob Orton this week at the Clash. He talks about wanting to earn his rematch with Muta… he plans to beat Orton and then get his chance at the gold that he doesn’t feel he should have lost. DDP and Schiavone are back and put over the issue with Muta and Koko… they talk about Koko being okay… we’ll see if he can challenge this week for the television title! They talk about the US title and World Champion… Randy Savage and Rick Steamboat who will be joining us when we come back from break. They are going to team with Mr. T and take on the Birds in the Bad Street Brawl. The Faces all put over the Clash and show off their Gold and Titles accordingly. Mr. T says he is going to get his hands on Buddy Jack and put him down for good. Savage says that Gordy is one elbow drop away from a date with his destiny. Ricky Steamboat then puts over how Michael Hayes is going to hear a song… but not his own… it will be the song that is song when the night is over and the Freebirds reign comes to an end! Chris Benoit defeated Jesse Hernandez via the top rope headbutt Benoit and Konnan go over to Schiavone and DDP. They talk about their tag match at the Clash. We then see the Conquistadors walk over… they say something in spanish to the translation of “Vas a estar en un mundo de peligro. No aceptaremos ninguna piedad ni mostraremos ninguna compasión. ¡Tomaremos su máscara y tomaremos sus títulos!” DDP and Schiavone are back with the Freebirds and we see DDP chumming it up with them. They talk about the Clash and how this will be the most Triumphant moment in the history of the Freebirds. They want everyone to come out to Des Moines… take a picture of Savage, T, and Steamboat… because it will be the last time anyone sees them in WCW! Dusty Rhodes & Bam Bam vs Dan Spivey & Mark Madness ends up being a fun little contest with the highlight being the rise of Bam Bam. The crowd is so behind him and Rhodes is working the eye that was injured last week. Mark Madness just doesn’t have the best skillset to get in there and make a difference but he’s doing everything he can. Spivey does a majority of the work. The final moments are winding down while television time is about to expire… we see Bigelow with a huge powerslam on Madness for the 3-count! On the other side of the ring, Orton and Race pull Rhodes out of the ring and throw him into the ringpost! Rhodes is busted open again while Bam Bam makes chase. This is getting out of hand!
