I didn't do too bad on my picks. This looks to be a turning point show for UWF. Now the question is where people end up when the dust settles. Who is the next big challenger for Reed? I wouldn't mind seeing Luger in that spot. You also have to wonder who is next in line for Gordy and Williams - I have a feeling but we'll see if it comes true. I will say that Rick Steiner looks to be one of my faves here... I am excited to see his growth and with Eddie nearby literally anything could happen.

This leads us into our intermission….} 20-minute intermission {The intermission took an extra 5-minutes due to Jannetty getting carted out. They kept his face covered up. He must be in serious pain. We head to the ring for our next matchup…} Italian Stallion vs Kamala Skandar Akbar A great showcase for Kamala who beats the piss out of the Italian Stallion Skandar is out here calling the shots and he may have the most dangerous crew in wrestling right now.

Get your tickets now!}

AWA... lot's happening here and for me... Steamboat... he is going to be coming back with revenge. I like the 60-minute tag team match. I can't say I've seen too many of them in real life... I don't know about Perez but I have no doubt the others could carry this the right way.

NWA bay bay.... Tully continues to be the best world's champion there never was. I like seeing the Road Warrior singles matches... it shows they could go even without the other. I also really enjoy the old school wrecking crew taking down the youngsters with the help of JJ. Keeps the heat and gives them a reason to come back. I will defnitely put over your organization of your talent and the cards. It takes a lot of work to put together this kind of product and you're doing a great job!

Hello ladies... Medusa and Misty in a fun one... Medusa is on the rise. How high can she go. Surprised by Luna's loss but she has a lot in the tank. The women continue to show their worth in this world of wrestling.

Always fun to try and catch up with PCW with your output. I like Billy Jack here and I am hoping he can build up the ranks. Pillman and Sabu would be a helluva contest if given time and freedom to go wild. Finlay and Garvin... completely crazy to think they lost but they would definitely leave their mark or marks on their opponents. Bockwinkle is on his final run and showing everyone he has still got it. The young buck, Curt Hennig, just can't get it done. I like Badd Company as tag champs... Art Barr finds an interest partner in cactus jack but just can't get it done. Lastly, our main event, Bock plays a role in the finish... Windham stands tall... Backlund not happy with what has happened. I am interested to see where these key pieces fit in the puzzle of PCW.

UWF is putting a big time card out there. UWF CHAMPIONSHIP Hacksaw Butch Reed vs Jerry “The King” Lawler  - I feel like Butch Reed is still the man here in the UWF. Lawler is a contender of contenders but Reed is at the top of the mountain. If he were to get knocked down, who better than the King? I just don't see it! UWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP Terry Gordy & Dr. Death vs The Freebirds - Are freebirds forever? Gordy is going to have to pick a side when all is said and done... I think he goes back home with his brothers. NORTH AMERICAN TITLE MATCH “Million Dollar Man” Ted Dibiase with Sheik Adnan Al Kassie vs Steve Keirn - Dibiase is the man for so many reasons and he will continue to show it here LOSER LEAVE TOWN Kevin Sullivan, The Barbarian & Big Van Vader vs Lex Luger, Dick Murdoch & Bruiser Brody - It is kind of funny to see Luger with Brody... but I think that team will rise up and put the others on the streets. UWF TELEVISION TITLE MATCH Brad Armstrong vs Eddie Gilbert with Missy Hyatt - I think that Eddie is going to go home with the Gold here tonight. Rock n Roll Express vs Kendo Nagasaki & Muta with Tojo Yamamota - Always hard to pick against the American's in a flag match... but I am going to .... still pick the RnR. Jake Roberts vs Mr. Olympia - Jake is hitting the DDT here for the W. “All-American” Steve Cox vs Chris “The Canadian Kid” Benoit Rick Steiner vs Johnny Rich

Consistency is key and the NWA sets the standard. There is no doubt that Flair's situation with the Horsemen is MUST SEE next week. Macho Man vs Hansen... talk about marquee. I also wanna talk about Fernandez and Rhodes beating Flair and Blanchard. What a way to get Manny on your map. You've created another contender in record time and now Blanchard is in more trouble than ever!

WCPW Jailbreak! April 22 - Joliet, Illinois - Civic Center Windy City opens this week with Mike McGuuirk in the ring as she announces the card for tonight. She also says that Joe Pedicino will have a big announcement later on in the evening. She then announcers our first match of the evening… The New Breed vs Jim Garvin & Buddy Landel w/ Precious & Sherri Fun opener with both teams showing off some really good skills The New Breed are definitely the better unit but Landel and Garvin have got the experience We see both teams get going but the momentum changes when the Rock N Roll RPMs walk out They are getting a bird’s eye view and the New Breed have turned their attention The distraction is enough for Landel and Garvin to gain control The New Breed are set up for a hot tag but as soon as Royal gets close to Champion… the RPMs pull Champion to the ground! Garvin then comes in and nails Royal from behind… picks him up and HOT SHOT SUPLEX! Landel gets the tag… hits the ropes and CORKSCREW ELBOW for the 3-count! {Champion is getting beaten down outside the ring. The RPMs leave him laying while Royal is hurting inside the ring. The officials come out to clear things up as we move the action to the second ring and here comes another tag team encounter. Casey and Mantell come out to a nice ovation and here comes the Nasty Boys!} Scott Casey & Johnny Mantell vs The Nasty Boys Pretty simple showcase for the Nasty Boys. We hear that they are the next team in line for a tag team title match Casey and Mantell have some decent work and momentum but the Nasties are just a step ahead The finish is pretty simple with the Nasties hitting a spike piledriver on Mantell They double clothesline Casey out of the ring and get the pin The Nasties look like they’ve got all the momentum they need to go after the titles one more time! {Joe Pedicino then steps into the ring and he doesn’t look happy… wait a moment… here comes Austin Idol with the title… and now… Sherri? We see them step in the ring and Sherri says that she just made the deal of a lifetime in the back and now she’s got her man. Idol says that tonight… he plans to take the night off. The crowd is booing up a storm. Pedicino announces that our scheduled match for the WCPW Heavyweight Championship has been postponed. They will be offering refunds for the event. Pedicino then announces that Jimmy Snuka was attacked before the event and will not be able to compete. Idol is strutting around and then we hear Harley Race’s music. The fans are stirring… Race comes out and says that he’d love to take Idol on right now but he’s got other things to do tonight. Idol says that he’d have no chance… Harley then asks if he’d be up for a challenge tonight… like he had last week. Idol says he has no problem facing anyone in the back because he knows he can beat them all. Harley then agrees…so he found someone not on the roster… but rather brand new to Windy City. Idol and Pedicino agree that he’ll accept the challenge but not put the title on the line. Idol wants to know who he’s facing… Race walks up the aisle and then… out of the back… {HACKSAW JIM DUGGAN IS HERE! He has got the 2x4 and he points it at Idol who is beside himself right now! The crowd is stirring here as we now have our next contest… the NWA Texas Women’s Championship contest!} NWA TEXAS WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP Debbie Combs vs Wendi Richter The women are fired up for this match, a chance to show another audience what they've got to offer. The match starts with Debbie Combs in control but Wendi Richter takes short cuts wherever she can. Both wrestlers get a close pin attempt and get to show off their signature moves. The finish sees Wendi Richter pick Debbie Combs up and give her two powerbombs in quick succession. One, two, three and that's all she wrote, Wendi Richter taunts the crowd as the Texas title is fastened around her waist. {A fun matchup there as the women may be showing up more often from now on. We then head to the ring for our next contest featuring the big time newcomer… Scott Hall!} Scott Hall vs The Executioner Good showcase for Hall The “Executioner” can’t quite make anything happen He does get a little heat on Hall but nothing to make anyone worry Hall comes right back and hits the overhead fallaway slam for the 3-count! {Mike McGuirk then gets us set for our next contest… Tag Team Titles on the line… here we go! WCPW Tag Team Championship The Rockers vs The Rock N Roll RPMs A really fun 16-minute match up. Both teams get in some offense and dish out some fun pain to the others along with some slick tag team maneuvers The RPMs are able to double up and get some good heat on Michaels Lane and Davis really let him have it which gets Jannety fired up Michaels is able to make the big tag and here comes Marty with some rocket right hands and DEEEEEEEP armsdrags sending the RPMs across the ring Michaels looks to be in a tough spot outside the ring Jannetty keeps up the pace but the numbers game gets the best of him The RPMs corner him and really start to hammer away Michaels somehow gets back up and gets into the fold once again Everyone is throwing hands right now and then we see Michaels get tossed out of the ring to the floor Wait a second… here comes the Nasty Boys… they are watching on… The RPMs set up Jannetty and are going to hit a suplex crossbody combo and BAM! Jannetty is down and he’s hurt…1…..2….OH NO! The New Breed runs down and breaks up the pin! We have got chaos here as the Nasty Boys then jump on Michaels and start working him over! The crowd is going nuts here as all eight men are involved {Officials run down to break it up as the New Breed and Rockers stay in the ring. Michaels is not looking good. The Nastys are next in line for the titles… The RPMs and New Breeds want blood… and the Rockers have the biggest target on their back! We then get the ring cleared out while Craig DeGeorge is joined by the newest team in Windy City… The Killer Bees - Jim Brunzell and Brian Blair. They put over the big time tag division here in WCPW and say that they can’t wait to get involved! They will be in action next week! DeGeorge then sends it to McGuirk who lines up our next match…} Chris Adams vs the Cuban Assassin Another good showcase contest Cuban Assassin can get some heat pretty damn easy Adams looks like a million dollars here tonight The big superkick spells the end and then the pinfall {Adams celebrates with the fans and we can hear him say that Jimmy Garvin is next! He wants Jimmy Garvin! We then see the entrance of Austin Idol with Sherri who holds the belt. Then the crowd pops when we see Hacksaw Duggan come out 2x4 in hand! No title on the line but Hacksaw looks ready for a fight!} Hacksaw Duggan vs Austin Idol © w/ Sherri A really fun main event We see these guys jump in and out of both rings They battle outside the ring Duggan looks like he is ready to take over WCPW right here tonight. Idol is able to get the upperhand with help from Sherri He works over Duggan but Hacksaw isn’t going down easy! In an interesting turn of events… Skandar Akbar is out here as he and Sherri are talking We know that Duggan and Akbar have had issues in the past Duggan gets into a rhythm and looks like he is going to finish when he hits a clothesline that sends Idol out of the ring Akbar helps up Idol… and they agree on something… then Akbar leaves the ringside area Duggan comes back out and he hammers Idol all around the ringside area Idol gets back in the ring and then Duggan gets in there and comes with another big clothesline and Idol goes out of the ring to the floor! Idol says he’s done with it and he is walking back up the aisle! Duggan is coming after him Idol gets to the top of the ramp… but Harley Race is right there waiting for him with a huge right hand! Duggan and Race are punching and kicking Idol back into the ring as this has become a no contest… {What Duggan and Race don’t see is Akbar coming down the aisle and he has got Great Kabuki and Killer Khan! These monsters attack Race and Duggan! The crowd is shocked as Idol gets up and he is all smiles. Khan and Kabuki continue this beatdown…The officials come out and Race and Duggan don’t appear to be in a good way…} {After a 10-minute intermission… we return as Joe Pedicino has a big announcement…} Pedicino: Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize for that attack… I spoke with Duggan and Race… they have agreed to take on Khan and Kabuki in two weeks as Windy City Pro Wrestling presents Anarchy in Aurora on May 6th!

The crowd erupts! He will face Idol in Chicago for the Windy City title! Race can barely stand… what a night… we’ll see you in two weeks in Aurora!}

The Mid South Coliseum is in for a treat this week I love the Ricky Steamboat run here. Obviously there is a lot more to this story but I have a feeling that Ricky will bring the heat I honestly don't know much about Kerry Brown... but my money will always be on Tommy Rich when it comes to keeping that title That being said... Dick Slater is a challenger and someone who can get the gold. He's got the money to train and he can play dirty. I will buy my tickets.

With the season matches... are you keeping track of wins and losses? I would be interested to see who comes out on top of that. Richter continues to be at the top of the heap. I thought Misty might be able to do something tonight but not quite. Can't wait to work together with these ladies.

Heading to the West Coast... I wish Bob Orton's luck would change. Brian Pillman is fighting his way back though which I am all about. Regal and Brookside reminds me of this AEW group that Regal has put together. Sometimes things are too good to be true. Bock and Ron... such a fun little mix of styles. The fact that Bock has to cheat really makes this a good outing for Simmons. Backlund with a win... he now has the momentum... can he turn the final corner and get the gold? I think Mr. Backlund has what it takes!

The crowd is stunned here as Michaels gets up and his nose is busted The referee then goes to raise the hands of Landel and Idol and when he does the brass knucks fall out of Landel’s arm! The referee picks them up and shows them to Idol who says they aren’t his The Rockers are on their feet and nail a couple of huge right hands and then a pair of dropkicks! Landel and Idol go out of the ring to the floor The referee awards the bout to the Rockers via DQ and they are STILL the Champions! {We go to a 15-minute intermission as the fans take a quick break. At the end of the intermission… Joe Pedicino announces that the next Windy City Event is going to be JAILBREAK from Joliet, Illinois! The event will be the first time that Windy City will hold a 2-ring event with a 20-man over the top battle royal! The winner of that Battle Royal will earn a shot at the Windy City Champion at a later date. The crowd seems pumped as we get ready for our next contest….} Jimmy Snuka & Rocky Johnson vs Tama & Tonga w/ Skandar Akbar This is an interesting combination of Johnson and Snuka. Tonga and Tama appear to be on a really big run right now with their sights set on the Rockers This one is pretty fun with Snuka getting in there and mixing it up while Johnson also brings some real fire Tama and Tonga hit a couple of ice double team moves and quick tags before Snuka gets the hot tag and comes in like a house of fire This is about the time when we see Kamala wander back out to the ring. Akbar is telling him something Snuka with a couple of huge clotheslines and dropkicks before he tags Johnson back in This is when Kamala goes for Snuka who leaps at him and we’ve got a brawl in the aisleway! Meanwhile, Rocky goes back to look for a tag but no one is there When he turns around… Tonga comes with a kick that takes his HEAD OFF! Tonga picks up Johnson and hits a shoulderbreaker Tama off the top rope with a diving headbutt! Snuka is still outside the ring Inside we get the 3 count and the Samoan Savages have won it Tonga and Tama then join in with Kamala in beating the hell out of Snuka who looks like a mad man trying to fight them off {Officials come down to try and break this up. Akbar pulls his men back as Snuka wants all four of them! We get everything cleaned up and then we get a match a lot of people have been waiting for… here comes Jim Garvin with Precious… then we see Chris Adams and the crowd is ready for this one.} Chris Adams vs Jim Garvin This one has been building for quite some time…and they deliver These guys spend some time feeling each other out They spend some time getting some heat Garvin is able to work of the leg and try to subdue the superkick Adams fights with a nice fury that is unmatched in WCPW We get to the final moments as these men close in on the 20-minute time limit We see Garvin soften up Adams and then he goes for the hot shot suplex but Adams uses his momentum to go over his back Adams sets up and hits the SUPERKICK! Garvin goes down and Adams covers for the 1….2…. DING DING DING! Adams thinks he has won it Garvin seems to be laid out The referee then lets Joe Pedicino announce that the match is being awarded a TIME LIMIT DRAW! {Adams is irate as Garvin wobbles out of the ring to the floor. He has no clue what is going on right now and the crowd is letting him have it. We see Adams make chase but nothing doing. We go back to Joe Pedicino who welcomes in two new members of Windy City Pro Wrestling… Mike McGuirk and Craig DeGeorge! Mike will be doing the announcing for the matches and Craig will be sitting ringside with Joe calling the action… that brings out the WCPW Champion Austin Idol who is letting the fans have it… but then we see Harley Race come out and he is eye to eye with Idol. Idol says he has got a special surprise for Harley… then we see… from the back… oh my… it is… ABDULLAH THE BUTCHER! Harley Race vs Abdullah the Butcher I don’t think there was any way that Harley Race thought this would be the man Idol picked. Abdullah jumps right on top of Harley who looks like he’s fighting for his life right now. Race is throwing big time rights and lefts but Abby continues to come back Abby then pulls out the fork and my gosh Race is busted open. This one isn’t a classic and it doesn’t take long as Harley finds a way to fight back and he is rocking the big man Race throws him to the ropes and hits the flying knee but Abby is just stunned Race then goes for a BODY SLAM! The crowd is rocking but now Idol is outside the ring and he is getting Race’s attention Abdullah comes running but Race pulls the ropes down and Abby goes flying out into Idol! Race goes outside the ring and hammers away as the referee counts Idol tries to get involved and Race NAILS him with a huge right hand and the crowd explodes! Race then grabs Abdullah and RUNS HIM INTO THE RING POST! Race rolls in the ring right at the 10-count! {Race is the winner and he isn’t staying around the celebrate. The fans are chanting for him as he walks to the back with his eyes on Idol… someday these two are going to have to settle their issue. We then see the ring crew get ready for our next contest… here we go… what a main event.} Mike McGuirk: Ladies and gentlemen this is the main event of the evening. This match is sanctioned by Windy City Pro Wrestling. This match will be a no disqualification match with no time limit! Ladies and gentlemen, introducing first… he hails from Harlem, New York. Bad News Brown! His opponent… he hails from Atlanta, Georgia… Dangerous… Danny… SPIVEY! NO DISQUALIFICATION Danny Spivey vs Bad News Brown Big time contest with a lot on the line in terms of RESPECT here between these two The crowd is white hot for Spivey who is probably second to Race in terms of a pop right now These two go right to it with some big time rights and lefts and soon the fight goes out of the ring They use the guardrail They use the ring steps We even see Spivey throw Bad News on the announce table and everything go flying Bad News does get the upper hand with a nasty shot with the microphone right to Spivey’s head Spivey is busted and then Bad News goes to work He tosses him back in the ring and Bad News really starts pounding away Spivey attempts a big comeback but Bad News with a judo kick right to the gut and then the throat! Spivey is in a bad way as Bad News goes outside and he grabs… a chair! Brown comes back and swings but Spivey ducks and nails him with a big boot! The bloodied Spivey is trying to finish… Bad News comes again and BACK BODY DROP! Spivey then picks up the chair and NAILS Bad News in the back and he goes flying through the ropes You can tell Spivey is in a bad way… Bad News is weakened outside the ring Spivey goes out there to pick him up and tosses him back in the ring Spivey says it is time for the helicopter spin but Bad News with a LOW BLOW! Spivey goes down to his knees Bad News gets up… grabs a chair… oh my… HE CRACKS SPIVEY ON THE SKULL WITH THE CHAIR! Spivey crumbles down… Bad News covers for the 3-count… {Bad News has won it… what a match… these two left it all out there… my gosh. The fans aren’t sure what they’ve seen. Bad News then removes his wrist tape… oh my… he had some kind of a steel band underneath his tape…. That’s why the low blow worked! Scott Hall then runs back out to the ring before Bad News attempts to hit Spivey with the chair again… Bad News smiles as he walks off… he took this to a whole new level… how can Spivey even respond?!}

AWA is the major league and everything is on the rise here. Rich vs Mulligan is something I am interested in seeing now. Tommy Rich continues to be one of my favorite characters in our world. He is definitely on the top of the PWI 500 and he continues to take on contender after contender. Tremendous writing for him.

Womens Trio Championship... I cant' say that I have seen too many women's six-person tag matches... you've got some good names to present it though. I continue to be on the Medusa train... that didn't sound good... but she's my favorite right now of who you've got. Luna is right there with her ability to destroy anyone in her path.

Portland has got a hot show. Vic Steamboat over Bob Orton is an interesting one for me. I have always been a fan of him even if he's on the tail end of his career right now. I am really hoping that Flyin Brian can find his niche here... the big feud with Bubba put him on the map but now he has to keep his place. Harts and MXE show you've got a top tier tag division and the MXE are proving their worth.

I love how quickly you can put things into place. Manny comes right in. Makes an impact. You're towns are loaded with top guys to come see and not just one match cards which says a lot. Looking forward to Stan Hansen here in the future...

I got the go ahead to do my +5 Windy City will be hiring... Ranger Ross Fidel Sierra Lanny Poffo Italian Stallion Killer Khan Anyone have word on Craig DeGeorge? Mike McGuirk? If they're free, could I add them in announcer roles as Ring and PXP?

Sorry for the mix up everyone... let me know if things aren't a go.

I think the show was awesome. I also liked the format a lot. It was super easy to follow and got the points across. I really think you may be on to something when it comes to putting the shows together this way. Outside of that - keep your head up and pop in when you can. UWF is legit fun stuff every time it is on!
