Starrcade cup doesn't fail to disappoint. "Nature Boy" Buddy Landel w/JJ Dillon vs Abdullah the Butcher w/Ox Baker is a match that would bring me to the event. Your consistency is unparalleled. Keep up the amazing work.

Six-man bull rope matches...Steel Cage marquee matches... I love the fireball in southern wrestling. I remember seeing it for the first time in Memphis and I was always hooked from there. Al Madril on top of the world... where are we living?

Mad Maxine is someone to keep an eye on. I think she's ready for the title as well. Great Trios main event... these women are showcasing their talents in our world of wrestling in a big way. We need to talk about bringing them back to Chicago.

Bad News f'n Brown is the man. I seriously think he has all the upside as a main dude in our world. I love seeing Chris Adams come in and also Austin Idol being his best self. I can appreciate your use of these guys after my work with them. Now... Nikita... babyface... this shit is bananas. At this point... he had all the hype and could have been the net big thing if he kept his physic and bald head... will you do the same?

So we've got this power dynamic that goes back and forth... you need to pick a side if you want to survive in the Mid South. I like the transition to the writing style. I feel like the details need to be there and you're telling the story in a manner in which everyone can follow, catch up, and look forward to what is next.

Windy City Wrestling #15 A decent week of television highlighted by a great main event between Koko Ware and Dick Slater. Slater was able to get the win with the help of the Untouchables. We also see a good tag team encounter with The Renegade Warriors defeated Black Bart & Bobby Jaggers via DQ and then Bill Irwin defeated Dutch Mantell. We also found out that on November the 4th… Windy City will be live from Zion, Illinois for Fire on the Mountain. The Main Event will be Bam Bam Bigelow challenging Harley Race for the Windy City Title. Plus we’ll see Wild Bill Irwin challenge Butch Reed for the Gateway Championship… along with the Road Warriors challenging Slater and Orton for the Tag titles… we’ll also see Bobby Jaggers try his hand against Scott Casey for the Chicago Street Fight Championship… and finally… a six-man tag… Jim Garvin and the Rockers take on Ricky Steamboat and the Rock N Roll Express! Windy City Wrestling #16 This episode of Windy City was a little more explosive with a main event consisting of Ricky Steamboat taking on Marty Jannetty. This one went the full 20-minutes and ended up in a six-man brawl. We also saw Orton and Slater defeat the Renegade Warriors while defending the Tag Titles. The Nasty Boys and Bad Company had another showdown ending in a double count out. One big segment took place with Lanny Poffo coming out and degrading his “former” brother Randy Savage. This then brought out Elizabeth. Joe Pedicino tried to keep her out of the ring but Lanny kept screaming at her. Ricky Steamboat came out for the save and helped her to the back. The other big segment was with Bam Bam defeated the Barbarian and then we saw the Untouchables get their revenge on Bigelow. They tied him in the ropes and Race smashed the title into his face.

JCP Main Event Episode 4 Asheville - North Carolina 10/22 We’re here from Asheville tonight and the crowd is going wild. JR is joined once against by Michael Hayes who is letting the crowd have it. He says they were cheated last week by the Harts and this means WAR! JR says we have some WARS tonight… we see Jim Crockett show up and announce that the tag title tournament has added a match between Marty Jannetty and Crush (who are in the ring) and their opponents… Ted Dibiase and Mike Rotundo! WORLD TAG TITLE TOURNAMENT Marty Jannetty & Crush vs Ted Dibiase & Mike Rotundo A decent enough opener Dibiase is a surprise to everyone but he and Rotundo work well together This one gets some fun offense from Marty Jannetty and Crush who is green under the gills In the end we see Rotundo hit a nasty forearm to the back of Jannetty’s head Dibiase then grabs him for a back body drop right on his neck and that’s all she wrote 1….2…3! Dibiase and Rotundo move forward… WORLD TITLE TOURNAMENT Dusty Rhodes vs Barry Windham Big time match with everything on the line for these guys Dusty and Barry go the distance and put on a great 20-minute match Barry is able to get some good heat on the American Dream Dusty sells like only Dusty can and he continues to fight back At one point, Windham acts like he is going for a superplex but Rhodes counters and hits an elbow that sends Windham flying backwards into the middle of the ring Rhodes then goes for broke with an elbow off the middle rope but Windham moves We then see Bobby Heenan give Windham an elbow pad Wait just a second… Windham hits the ropes and NAILS Dusty with that elbow and Rhodes is out cold 1….2….3! Windham has won it and the crowd is shocked! We see Rhodes oversell this as he’s got a couple of buddies come to walk him to the back… WORLD TAG TITLE TOURNAMENT Rick & Scott Steiner vs Dino Bravo & Greg Valentine w/ Jimmy Hart Scott Steiner is fresh on the scene Rick Steiner is loaded for bear here Dino and Valentine are a dream team if you will and they are actually pretty damn good together This one only gets 10-minute and it serves a couple of purposes The first is to showcase Dino and Valentine as a team The second is to show that Scott Steiner has got the brightest future in JCP The finish is kind of messy but Rick makes a hot tag to Scott who comes in with Steiner line after Steiner line He then hits a huge belly to belly on Valentine and then Bravo! Jimmy Hart tries to get up but Seiner runs to clothesline him but the referee gets in the way and Steiner nails him We see the Earthquake get involved by grabbing Rick Steiner and tossing him into the guardrail! Scott tosses Valentine to the ropes and catches him for a big powerslam Scotty then grabs Bravo… wait a minute… Double Arm Underhook Powerbomb! Scott covers as the referee calls for the bell We get a ruling that Rick and Scott have been disqualified due to Scott hitting the referee! The Steiners can’t believe it and now Dino and Valentine are moving on! WORLD TITLE TOURNAMENT Lex Luger vs Arn Anderson A big time main event… Bobby looks to have Arn ready This one goes about 14-minutes to finish off the show We see some good offense out of Anderson who is wearing down the back of Luger Lex hits power move after powermove to try and regain the momentum! Anderson looks like he’s going to finish but Luger counters him into a huge powerslam! Luger then with a couple of big clotheslines! Heenan gets up on the apron but Luger comes to give him a shot… but Anderson with a knee to the back Arn grabs Luger for a DDT but Luger hoists him up and over his back and gets him in a pinning combination for the 1….2….3!!! Luger has won it and the crowd pops! They can’t believe what they’ve seen! We finish the show with Luger popping out of the ring while Flair and Windham come out. In order to get to the title… He is going to have to take another step through the Horsemen next week when he faces Barry. Luger makes the signal for the belt… who will walk away from Chi-Town Rumble with the title!?!?

October 28 Massacre in McHenry Koko B Ware vs BattleKat Bob Bradley Solid opener with Koko getting the crowd going once again The fans are behind this youngster as he continues to look great in the ring BattleKat doesn’t have too much going his way but has enough offense to make it interesting In the end we see Koko fly around with some big chops The finish is a nasty dropkick off the top rope that puts Bradley down and out for the 3-count! The Nasty Boys vs Bad Company Interesting pairing in this one The Nasties and Bad Company don’t get too much fanfare It may not be the fan favorites but these four fire on all cylinders Neither team really gains complete control throughout the contest but both give everything they’ve got The finish is kind of messy with Tanaka and Diamond in control Saggs gets double clotheslined out of the ring to the floor Knobbs is double teamed… until Tanaka and Diamond hit the ropes but Sags pulls the rope down and Tanaka goes flying Diamond then gets caught by Knobbs for an absolutely disgusting back body drop right on his head The 3-count and the Nasty Boys get a big win but this one may be far from over SIX MAN TAG Wild Bill Irwin & The Renegade Warriors vs Dutch, Jaggers, & Black Bart Fun six-man here with some nice heat Dutch and his outlaws definitely get the heat going from the crowd The Renegades are in over their heads… plain and simple Dutch and Jaggers are becoming one of the top teams i Windy City and show it off here Wild Bill is gaining a following and he and Bart don’t pull any punches with one another This one ends in a dq when Black Bart grabs the whip and nails Mark Youngblood The referee calls for the bell but all hell is breaking loose We see all six-men get in the ring and Wild Bill brings out the bull rope and clears things This one is far from over and I think Bill and the Warriors have got more business to take care of in the future CHICAGO STREET FIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Scott Casey vs The Moondog What an ovation for Scott Casey who comes out and he has got the fans behind him He and the Moondog throw some nice shots and we get some weapons involved early on A trash can ends up on the head of Moondog Then we see Casey grab that dog bone and he cracks that trash can something awful The can falls off and Moondog falls back into Scott Casey kicks him in the gut and JUMPING PILEDRIVER! 1….2….3! Scott Casey with a big win and the crowd pops! Rock N Roll Express vs Rockers Here we go… one more time these two teams just break the walls down 30-minutes and they use every single second of it The Rockers get some big time heat and boy do they know how to get it going Ricky and Robert just throw some big time bombs with everyone flying around the ring The nuts and bolts of the match show how far the Rockers have come and how great the Rock N Roll are Marty and Shawn get some major heat on Ricky and work over his neck something awful Shawn and Marty take every chance to double team and do blind tags A spike piledriver on Ricky is spelling the end but Robert is able to come back and break it up Around the 20-minute mark Ricky is able to make the hot tag and Robert comes in with some huge shots The crowd is stirring and for the final 9-minutes these flour leave everything they have The final moments see a double superkick that knocks Robert out of the ring only for Ricky to come and dropkick both the Rockers sending Marty out of the ring to the floor Marty and Robert are throwing outside the ring Inside the ring, Shawn and Ricky go move for move and then final moments see Ricky duck a clothesline and hits a German Suplex Both men have shoulders down for the 11….22….33! Both men raise their arms at the end but the referee calls for the bell We get the announcement from Joe Pedicino that it was a double pinfall! The crowd isn’t having it here but wait a second… here comes Marty and Shawn with chairs and they crack the Rock N Roll. The battle maybe went both ways but the war is far from over. Ricky the Dragon Steamboat vs Jimmy Garvin w/ Precious Another big time contest as Ricky Steamboat comes out to an amazing pop Garvin is no selling all of it and not even giving Steamboat the respect he deserves This one goes about 18-minutes and has some good heat with Garvin We see Ricky working the pace that Garvin can’t seem to keep up with A big moment happens when Steamboat goes for a cross body but Garvin ducks and pulls the ropes down and Ricky goes flying out of the ring This brings out Lanny Poffo who everyone now knows is Macho’s brother Lanny looks like he is trying to help Steamboat back in but he also seems to be holding him back while the referee counts Steamboat all but throws him aside to get back into the ring before the 10-count We then get into the final series and Steamboat looks to be ready to finish as he goes up top… FLYING KARATE CHOP! Garvin is down but here comes Precious… she’s up on the apron! Steamboat is trying to get her to get down and now here comes Lanny who is doing the same Precious “drops” her purse in time for Garvin to pick it up and then WHACK Steamboat in the back of the head and he drops like a sack of potatoes Lanny finally pulls Precious down Garvin covers Steamboat for a very cheap victory The crowd then explodes when Randy Savage comes running out. His head still bandaged from the wounds. He is right in Garvin’s face and he is letting him have it. Lanny tries to get in the ring and stop him but Savage is irate and he pushes his brother aside. Savage grabs the purse of Precious and shows the referee a BRICK! The referee reverses the decision and awards the match to Steamboat via DQ. Lanny then picks up the purse… with the brick… and HE CRACKS SAVAGE! OMG! Garvin and Lanny shake hands and then hoist up Savage for another BRAINBUSTER! OMG! Here comes Steamboat as Garvin and Poffo escape… what in the hell has just happened here!?!?! {We then see officials and the ring crew come out to set up this monstrosity of a cage. It covers the entire ringside area. There is no roof. There is one door. We then hear the rules that one man from each team will start the contest. We will then see another person, drawn at random, to come down and enter the match. This will happen until all 10-men are inside the ring and then the first team to make an opponent submit or be pinned will be the victors! We then see this cool set up where there are these individual cages for the participants… we find out that the first two men to enter the ring will be Dan Spivey and Butch Reed. In the other eight small cages… almost like dog kennels… we see Bam Bam, Hall, the Road Warriors, Race, Orton, Slater, & Barb enter. The bell rings… and HERE WE GO! 10-Man Cage Match Bam Bam, Dan Spivey, Scott Hall, & The Road Warriors vs The Untouchables Brutality at its finest for this one with no punches being pulled. Reed and Spivey make the most of their three minutes and both men look to be in top form We see the first weapon introduced when Reed pulls out a wrench from under the ring and he cracks Spivey and busts him WIDE open! The timer is running down… we then see a spotlight….here comes… ROAD WARRIOR ANIMAL! The Road Warrior runs down and it is 2 on 1 but not looking good as Spivey looks to be in very rough shape Animal and Reed go through a nice series and Animal hits a huge POWERSLAM! Animal with a pair of big clotheslines and Reed goes out of the ring to the floor Animal tries to check on Spivey who is really busted open as he starts to get to his feet The timers runs down… here comes…THE BARBARIAN! Barb runs down to the ring and nails Animal from behind with a double ax handle smash Barb then grabs Spivey and RAMS him into the cage! Reed finally gets back up and now Barb and Reed double up on Animal They lift him up and bring him DOWN on the top rope on his throat and now the animal is in a bad way Spivey is trying to get back and he makes an effort but it is thwarted by Barb who looks like a monster right now The timer runs down and here comes… DICK SLATER! It is now a 3 on 2 shift for the Untouchables as Slater comes in and he goes right to work on Spivey and that cut is getting bigger and bigger Animal is able to throw some big rights and lefts but nothing else doing as the numbers game gets the best of him Animal gets thrown to the outside of the ring but it looks like he grabs something from under the ring… wait a second… a FIRE EXTINGUISHER! The spray is all over and the Untouchables are backed up The timer runs down… BAM BAM BIGELOW! Bammer runs down and he enters the ring to even up the odds and he is a man on fire Slater, Reed, and Barb all bump around for him and he yells out as Animal and him hit some double clotheslines The referees are checking on Spivey through the cage Bigelow picks up Barb for a back body drop over the ropes to the floor! The timer runs down… SCOTT HALL! Big Scott Hall runs down and now it is 3 on 3 with Spivey being plastered in the corner Hall checks in on him only for Reed to come from behind and take control Bam Bam and Dick Slater look to be throwing some potatoes at one another and by golly neither man is giving up an inch Barb ducks a clothesline from Animal and comes back with a boot outside the ring that just knocks him smack dab out The timer runs down… HARLEY RACE! The Windy City Champion comes down and he goes right after Bam Bam We see that Animal and Reed are now busted open Race then busts open Bam Bam while he and Slater just pound away at the big man Spivey then pushes the referees away and he comes with a clothesline but Barb is able to knock him away The timer is running down… who gets the final advantage…. BOB ORTON! Cowboy Bob runs down and he goes right to work on Animal with Butch Reed They are wearing the big guy down Barb is working over Hall Slater and Race are fighting with Bam Bam who is trying to fight back with everything he’s got Orton then goes under the ring and he pulls out a couple of chairs Orton goes to nail Animal with a chair but he ducks and Orton DESTROYS Reed! Orton turns around and here comes Scott Hall off the apron with a clothesline! Inside the ring… Slater is holding Bam Bam for a piledriver with Race but Animal knocks him off the ropes and then leaps himself for a huge shoulder block on Slater! The final timer goes off and here comes Road Warrior HAWK! The lights flash in the arena as it is now time for the Massacre to begin The first team to make the other submit or pin will be the winners Spivey is slowly making his way up Hawk with a couple of HUGE clotheslines that shake the foundations of the Untouchables As we approach the final moments… we see Bam Bam and Race in the middle of the ring and the crowd is ELECTRIC! They are going wild for these two who give them a couple of huge shots and share a taste of what this is going to be when it happens Outside the ring… Hawk picks up Dick Slater and Javelin throws him into the cage and now Slater is busted wide open Inside the ring… we see Bam Bam counter a piledriver from Race He then catches Harley with a huge POWERSLAM Bam Bam makes the sign… he’s going up top… Butch Reed makes one more effort to stop him but out of nowhere Danny Spivey comes with a boot right to the skull! Bigelow flies off with the diving headbutt! 1……2…….3!!!!! Bigelow, Spivey, Hall, and the Road Warriors are the winners! The crowd explodes as this carnage has set a new standard for Windy City. The fans are shocked as the cage gets raised up and we see the winners carry each other out of the ring to the back. Inside the ring… Race is helped up by Orton and Barb while Slater and Reed look worse for wear. Bigelow makes one final call out to the fans as they go into the curtain…

I feel like this transition has gone really well and now we're seeing some different mixes that showcase this as the top roster in the game. Luger is making an effort to be the top champion in the game for sure and with a win over Vader... it means a lot. I am very keen on Muta's build as the next big thing when it comes to this group but he will have some serious fighting to do in order to get to the top. I love that Dibiase walked away from the extra five minutes...maybe have it be revealed he paid off the ref lol.

AWA is rolling... Jerry Lawler with his eyes on the World Title... oh yeah! Bad News is going to have to pull out all the stops here. Perez and Larry Z was a fun one as well. The top of the card is solid here and now everyone needs to find their place as we head towards the end of the year.

I want to give you some props for the towns and the loops that you run. This is perhaps the most meticulous territory when it comes to Geography in the game. That adds a whole new element to your promotion. "British Steel (Steven Regal & Robbie Brookside) & Black Tiger vs. Art Barr, Eddie Guerrero & Sabu" -This is a match that would have been a blast to see live. There would be no stop and all action with this crew. I also love the idea of Bock and Owen... you know Bock helps the youngster and puts on a show even at the twilight of his career.

My dream team of Medusa and Moretti come together in a big winning effort. I think that Lisa has got something left in the tank to finish off 87 on top of WWW. I also am not losing faith in Wendi Richter who is building towards that same goal.

I said PCW has the advantage with towns and loops but damn your right behind him. Your take on the NWA is extraordinary. The big tourney going on is something to keep a close eye on. I am also wondering if this is Arn Anderson's shot to become bigger than he ever was. I think he has every opportunity to take his game to the next level. He is going to have to get past the likes of Haystacks but I think with JJ, they will have a plan

Off to the races with this promotion and building things from the ground up. That's a pretty fun card for the $15,000 along with Tommy Rich continuing his dastardly ways. I am hopeful to see Brad rise to the top over his father here. That could be an angle btw... but in all reality this is great work to build so quick.

JCP Main Event Episode 3 Washington DC 10/15 JCP opens this week with Jim Ross standing ringside with his partner this week, David Crockett. They are pumping up the tag title and world title tournaments that will start here this evening. We’ll also see and hear from other competitors tonight.

WORLD TITLE TOURNAMENT Jim Duggan vs Honkytonk Man w/ Jimmy Hart The battle of the 2x4 vs the Guitar! These two do a decent job in there but it is ugly. Hacksaw is pretty over here and Honky has some pretty good heat going We see the Earthquake come out after Duggan nails Jimmy for getting involved Earthquake then tries his hand against Duggan before Hacksaw starts throwing big time rights and lefts with him! The crowd is going wild here as the referee calls for the bell Duggan has won via disqualification! Honkytonk man can’t believe it… so he grabs his guitar and NAILS Duggan on the back outside the ring Earthquake, Honky, and Jimmy make their way to the back. Jim Crockett comes out and we get the announcement that the Varsity Club has been withdrawn from the tournament. Tommy Rich and Ricky Morton have also been suspended for behavior outside the ring.

TAG TITLE TOURNAMENT Demolition vs The Twin Towers w/ Slick Talk about where’s the beef?!? These four men have to reinforce the ring and they get right to it This one begins as a tag team match but quickly falls apart The Towers continue to double team and this brings in Ax who nails Akeem with a huge clothesline Bossman turns and now they are going outside the ring The chaos has completely taken over and the referee is calling for the bell It is a double DQ and no team will move on! Arn Anderson and Barry Windham are out with Hennan putting over the Horsemen. Heenan then goes on a tirade against Andre the Giant! JR announces that Andre may in fact be here next week if Heenan wants to share words with him then… the weasel says he’s busy. WORLD TITLE TOURNAMENT Curt Hennig vs Ric Flair Save the best for last as they say This is a 1988 Curt Hennig v 1988 Ric Flair at their finest They go 19 of the 20 minutes Hennig shows that he belongs on the grand stage Flair proves he is still the man in this sport These two trade big time blows and just wear each other out The big moment happens when Hennig goes for a cross body but Flair ducks and Hennig gets caught in the ring ropes! His leg is caught and Flair goes to work on it The crowd is screaming for Hennig who is writhing in pain Flair then goes to work on the knee and for the final five minutes it doesn’t look like Hennig will be able to continue…. But he fights back! Hennig with a fire and he is coming with everything he’s got! The final minute tolls and we get into a great series of move for move Flair goes up top and then Hennig with the counter and tosses him into the middle of the ring! Hennig then comes and picks up Flair for a body slam! 20 seconds remain! Hennig is going for the Northern Lights Suplex but Flair trips the knee and pulls him down! Flair goes for the figure four but Hennig rolls through for a 2.9 count and Flair rolls through for the 3-count with seconds remaining in the match! What a finish… Flair looks at Hennig… Hennen is helping Flair up… Flair says something to him and Hennig looks on in disbelief. JR puts this over in a huge way as time has run out… we’ll see you next week!

Windy City Wrestling #13 A pretty simple television show with some follow up from last night. We hear from Joe Pedicino that on October the 28th, we will have a 10-man CAGE MATCH unlike any other as Windy City comes to you live from McHenry, Illinois. The Untouchables will be without Paul Jones and will be going up against The Road Warriors, Scott Hall, Dan Spivey, and Bam Bam Bigelow. More to come on that match next week here on Windy City Wrestling. Jim Garvin continued his streak of terror and called out the Macho Man who was not able to be in the building due to a concussion.

The cage will surround the ringside area. The match will conclude when all 10-men have entered. Submission or Surrender is the only way to defeat your opponents! Anything goes inside the 10-Man Massacre Cage Match! Jim Garvin vs Lanny Poffo had a lot of heat… especially when Elizabeth came out with Lanny. These guys went 15-minutes and Poffo gave Garvin everything he had but it wasn’t enough. The Brainbuster spelt the end… then Garvin tried to do it one more time outside the ring but Savage came out of nowhere and nailed Garvin! Agents and officials were quick to run out and stop it. Savage’s head was heavily bandaged! Garvin got on the microphone to let Savage know he has beat him… he’s beat his brother… he is going to take his woman… and then he’s going to beat up his old man for the fun of it! Savage is being held back… he says that he can’t wrestle… he won’t be cleared… but in his place… he has found someone to fill it. Someone that Savage has been in wars with… someone who can step right in and shut your mouth Garvin…. RICKY THE DRAGON STEAMBOAT! Garvin turns around and Steamboat comes out with some huge chops and backs Garvin down! Garvin hits the road with Precious while Steamboat and Savage shake hands… this is going to be interesting.

These six will do battle next week in McHenry The Main Event was special…. Crazy Scott Casey was finally successful in defeating the Barbarian for the Chicago Street Fight title! The match was all over the arena. Casey got a little bit of help from Dan Spivey who hit Barbarian with a chair coming out of the men’s bathroom… but Casey made the pin and won the title and the fans went absolutely nuts!

I like the feel of all japan here. Keep it quick and simple. Make sure the big guys get their time. Keep up the solid work!

NWA POWEERRRRRR baby! I am going to have to figure out some of these names but the delivery works for me. I love the complete intertwining of the generations!

Jim Neidhart makes his way out to back up the Hitman just as Hayes tries to walk over and help Gordy Bret and Gordy are big time pros as they feel one another out and put each other over in a big way Gordy’s speed and strength is showcased while Bret’s technical expertise of on display We see a couple of big spots including a press slam from Gordy to Bret that almost sends him out of the ring to the floor Bret is able to hit a big spinebuster that shakes the ring. As we near the finish, Gordy seems to get the upper hand. He nails Bret with a big powerslam! Gordy then makes the sign for the Asiatic Spike but Bret ducks the spike Bret then pulls Gordy over in a crucifix pin for the 1….2….3!!! Bret gets the win and rolls out of the ring! Hayes is going nuts on commentary! Gordy is irate in the middle of the ring! Next week we’ll see these four in a tag team match along with Demolition taking on the Twin Towers. Plus we’ll see Hacksaw Duggan taking on the Honkytonk Man and then Curt Hennig vs Ric Flair! We’ll see you next week!

October 7 - Davenport Koko B Ware vs the Moondog Good opener with Koko getting the crowd hot Moondog gets in some offense but nothing major Koko hits a couple of amazing dropkicks The finish is a dropkick off the top rope from Koko and Moondog is out for the 3-count The Battens vs Bad Company Tanaka and Diamond look like stars here The Battens put them over in the biggest way We get smooth tags and some nice double teams The finish is when we see the spinebuster/crossbody combo for the 3-count! The Renegade Warriors vs The Kansas Jayhawks Another solid contest with these four It really isn’t that good but these guys do okay for what they’ve got to offer. Dutch Mantell is trying to call the shots out there but the Renegades just don’t have what it takes Out of the back, we have got someone coming out… it is BLACK BART! Bart comes out of nowhere and he nails Mark Youngblood with a bullwhip Dutch then hits a brainbuster for a 3-count! We get some aftermath with Bart and the Jayhawks laying down a beating with some bullwhips This doesn’t come off well Rock N Roll Express vs The Nasty Boys 17-solid minutes of fast paced action The Nasties look to be building off their previous success The Rock N Roll seem like they are destined for something We see the Rockers come out but nothing major The finish is a big double dropkick on Sags for the 3-count The Conquistador vs Kamala w/ Akbar Kamala just beats the shit out of the Conquistador. There isn’t even a chance of offense… Kamala just destroys him The big splash is the beginning But the press slam over the top rope into the guardrail is the end A count out victory for Kamala….. What is next for this monster? Crazy Scott Casey & Wild Bill Irwin vs The Rockers The team of Wild Bill and Crazy Scott is fun… but nothing to contest the team of the Rockers Michaels and Jannetty are bad attitude to a T and they do everything they can to get some heat Casey takes a nasty bump outside the ring when they press slam him onto the guardrail A double superkick to Bill Irwin is all she wrote… The Rockers and Rock N Roll are on another collision course! Randy Savage w/ Elizabeth vs Jim Garvin w/ Precious This is one we’ve all been waiting for These guys go a solid 14-minutes and it has a little bit of everything Savage is able to get some primetime babyface love right off the bat as Garvin is still going at Liz Garvin gets some major heat working over the neck of Savage as he continues to go after Liz We see a little chaos out here and an awesome spot of Savage coming off the top rope to Garvin outside the ring with a double ax handle smash! Savage then goes up again… looks out to the fans… leaps but this time Garvin moves! Garvin slams Savage into the guard rail and Savage is hurt! The referee is trying to get involved but Garvin throws him to the ground Garvin then picks up Savage and BRAINBUSTER ON THE CONCRETE FLOOR! We see agents and officials run out and even Lanny Poffo runs down. This looks serious as Savage appears to be unconscious… Garvin is letting Liz have it and he is laughing at her as she cries for Savage. Fans are being held back from going after Garvin… my gosh what has happened here?!? We then get some elongated and special entrances as Mike McGuirk announces the 10-man teams. The crowd is going wild here as the Road Warriors get the biggest pop of the crew. Bam Bam, Spivey, Hall, & Road Warriors vs Race, Slater, Orton, Reed, & Barbarian The biggest match that Windy City could put on These guys go 38-minutes The highlights see the Road Warriors work over Orton and Slater Barbarian is showing his force against everyone in his path Butch Reed is another star in the making and he and Bam Bam put on a showcase and the crowd is wild Harley Race - the consignment pro - works the fans and his team and the babyfaces Race is able to slow down the pace only for the Road Warriors to try and come back to speed things up Scott Hall and Butch Reed get into a good series and now Hall is putting himself up as a top tier worker Dan Spivey may play the most important role here as he continues to push the pace for the babyface As we go into the final moments of the match… all hell has broken loose The Road Warriors end up hitting a doomsday device on Barbarian that sets off the explosion Outside the ring, Harley Race hits Scott Hall with a piledriver right on the concrete floor Spivey clotheslines Reed over the rail into the crowd The Road Warriors then take Orton and Slater out of the ring Spivey gets back in as he and Race are fighting Paul Jones tries to get involved and LOW BLOW on Spivey Race pulls Spivey up and PILEDRIVER! 1….2…..3!!!! The Untouchables win it! Bam Bam isn’t done though… he pulls Race back up and nails with some big rights and lefts and then throws Race over the top rope to the floor! Race is flanked by the Untouchables... but wait a second... Paul Jones... he is being held by the Road Warriors... Spivey is slow to his feet and then comes with a boot to the skull that knocks him smack dab out! Animal picks up Jones on his shoulder... wait a second... Hawk off the top with the Doomsday Device! Jones is laying motionless in the middle of the ring. The Untouchables won the battle but the war is far, far from over!

PCW - Good to see Ron Simmons in a big spot there... you know a pro like Backlund could carry that match and it shows through. Barry Windham is someone to look at for 88 as to a bigger star in PCW. he has had a lot of success but like the true story of Barry Windham... what is his ceiling?

So the world changed for Mid South but now it seems as though the world will collide. Jake and Dibiase is something that everyone will pay to see. I want to see how Lex Luger makes his way out of this situation. He in my opinion has the biggest target on his back with the title.

AWA - Steamboat putting out some love for the fans on his way out. I also want to put over Rich and Lawler as the absolute Feud of the year. These guys have twisted and turned all over the country and blood has been spelt all along the way. It is a testament that you can put together that long term of booking and keep it going in a positive way.

I always loved WCW television in the late 80s early 90s. Each show had its own feel. It hink you can continue to build on that with this roster. I am glad to see Haku/Tama doing well. Keep up the awesome consistent work!
