What a huge show... The thing about it is that the match lineup is second to none... but also what happens. Everything has some kind of a meaning and moves the stories forward... I love the Rat Pack reunion here... Borne is a fun character when used right. What a way to but Vader and Barb over... Gordy and Williams may be the toughest team of all time... but not in their eyes. Main event... Butch Reed and Lex Luger... new World Champion... I can't believe it. Luger is on top of a very tall mountain here in UWF with a lot of people trying to climb up to get him!

Can't wait for the bash... lots on the line... plenty of stakes for everyone to invest in! I really like the land of opportunity gimmick... it works and there's some big time teams in that spot. Brody comes in with a huge bang. NWA continues to provide one of the best when it comes to utilizing talent and making them important quicker than anyone else!

I am happy Medusa is still the champ... I love all the titles... it is fun to see the build of Richter and how she can still be a challenge no matter what. I am also not going to sleep on Rhonda... she is too much of a force to forget about!

AWA is coming in hot... the one thing I see here that is spectacular is how you built up that lawler/Rich feud... blew it off.... but then stoked the coals again and continue to make it special. I had a hard time giving up Bad News because he can be so dynamic and we'll see that right here in AWA. I am excited to see how and where he goes here.

And Jim Brunzell

WCPW Presents: High Voltage! June 17 - Kankakee, Illinois - Civic Center Bam Bam Bigelow vs Kabuki Bam Bam gets us going again here tonight and my oh my is he getting over Kabuki knows his role and helps the youngster look great A little bit of heat on Bammer but he comes back with a rage The crowd is solidly behind him He nails a big powerslam Bam Bam up top with a diving headbutt 1…2….3! This guy is on fire… pun intended… what could be next? Lanny Poffo vs Jim Garvin w/ Precious Another good outing for Garvin who is white hot right now He gives Poffo a little more than he can handle The hot shot suplex into a brainbuster is all she wrote in this good one for Garvin Garvin then gets on the mic and proclaims that he isn’t afraid of no snakes and that if Jake Roberts tries to mess up his hair again… he is the one who’s going to be laid out! Ranger Ross vs Kamala w/ Akbar Kamala is also on a tear as of late and he beats the living shit out of Ranger Ross. Akbar is screaming out commands the entire time. Akbar gets the attention of the referee before Kamala picks up Ross and powerslams him over the ropes to the floor! There is an amazing visual… Kamala comes off the ring steps on Ross with a splash! The referee continues the count as Kamala gets back in and we see the count out victory for the Ugandan Giant! Akbar says that he has fought with Mulligan all over the country and now he is bringing the fight to Chicago and he says that this will be the end of the feud and the end of Blackjack Mulligan! WINDY CITY TAG TITLES The Rockers vs The Grapplers A decent enough tag team title match with the Rockers showing off in a huge way The Grapplers get some good offense in and they get some heat A lot of double teaming and quick tags on both ends The Grapplers go for a double suplex but Michaels flips over the top He and Jannetty then come back with double superkicks! Tandem pin for the 3-count and the Rockers retain… We get a big announcement that the winner for the following 20-man, 10-Tag Team battle royal will get a title match in two weeks against the Rockers. We then hear the announcements of the following teams. Spivey & Hall The Sheepherders Renegade Warriors Killer Bees New Breed The Nasty Boys Kansas Jayhawks Bob Orton & Dick Slater The Samoan Savages The Rock N Roll RPMs TAG TEAM BATTLE ROYAL Well… forearm fest 87 continues here tonight Some new teams on the block… the Renegade Warriors and the Kansas Jayhawks to begin with Early on we see the two huge feuds of Spivey & Hall v the Samoans along with the Nasties and Sheepherders break loose Early on we see the Rock N Roll RpMs fall to the Killer Bees and some double dropkicks! The Nasties and Sheepherders end up causing themselves this chance when all four men go over the top rope to the floor. Orton and Slater are able to stick together and they get rid of the Warriors The Jayhawks end up getting the best of the New Breed A big brawl between Spivey & Hall v The Samoans causes them both to get eliminated We come down to the Bees, Jayhawks, & Orton/Slater A lot of jarring between all six men when the final moments break down It is Slater and Orton who outsmart the others when they come up from behind of Blair and Mantel and toss them over the top to the floor. Slater and Orton with the victory and now they’ve got a chance at the titles in two weeks! CHICAGO STREET FIGHT Scott Casey vs The One Man Gang © Over the last couple of weeks Scott Casey really hasn’t hit his groove but he comes in with a different fire tonight. Gang comes out looking huge and nasty and this one gets going right from the bell Casey comes out in some cowboy boots and jeans and he is giving the Gang every single ounce of fight he can take We see a trash can from ringside brought in Gang just destroys Casey’s skull and Gang only ends up with a two count as Casey is fighting back! Casey, with blood flowing from his skull, screams and Gang sells it. Casey runs and fights with a huge forearm and then hits OMG with a dropkick sending him over the top to the floor! Casey then comes off the apron with a cross body but the Gang grabs him and then runs him into the post and powerslam! OMG covers outside the ring for the 3-count! Blackjack Mulligan comes in for a live interview with Spivey and Hall. Mulligan says that he’s spoken to officials… a contract has been signed with Akabr and his men… a six-man Blackjack Brawl! Come as you are. Bring what you want. Survive if we let you! We then see an elaborate entrance for the one and only Macho Man Randy Savage. He comes out to the pomp and circumstance that only he can. He is acting heel here. Elizabeth gets up on the apron and Savage screams at her to open the ropes. The fans didn’t like that and neither did Rocky Johnson. Rocky Johnson vs Randy Savage w/ Elizabeth Both of these guys work the “Memphis” style with Savage stalling just enough to get the crowd to pounce Johnson has still got a little shine and he’s able to work Savage up in a good way for the Macho Man to take control The fans begin to cheer for Rocky but the Macho Man is too much for him. Johnson then nails Savage with some shots to come back and hits a couple of rights and then a huge left and Savage goes outside the ring The referee backs off Johnson while Savage grabs Liz’ purse and puts something in his tights. Savage then gets up on the apron to taunt the fans but Johnson picks him up Savage nails him with the knucks in his tights! Both men go crashing down while Savage puts the knucks in his tights. Savage then picks up Johnson for a PILEDRIVER! Savage goes up top and hits the flying elbow and crashes right through Rocky’s heart! 1…..2…..3!!! The Macho Man has done it! Macho isn’t done yet though… he is yelling at Liz to hold the ropes and then he grabs her by the arm to pull her to the back. They walk past Craig DeGeorge who doesn’t look too happy. Craig then says we have a very special guest here tonight… Chris Adams!!! He cuts a promo with Craig DeGeorge in which he talks about the selfish treatment of people out here like Garvin and now Savage towards their women. Adams says that sometimes a man needs a slap in the mouth for putting their hands on a woman. This draws Savage back out and now Savage is calling out Adams. The crowd is stirring. Adams says that Savage is a good for nothing piece of trash if he thinks he can treat women the way he does! Savage then smiles and looks at the crowd before he SMACKS Adams in the mouth! This draws out the officials and agents. They are holding these two back from one another! This could break loose at any second! Savage is escorted back as Adams is screaming that he wants him in the ring! Jake Roberts vs Bill Dundee Dundee and Jake are in a tough spot here following that brawl Jake has got the momentum… he has got the crowd and by golly he’s got the skills Dundee gets a little heat but nothing too much as Jake is able to play the face in peril so well Jake then comes back with some short left hands and then a short arm clothesline! Dundee is slow to get up and here comes Jake for the DDT! The three count and JAke Roberts is without question ready for big things here in Windy City Joe Pedicino then announces that on July 1st… we will have a special event… it will be a special card from Northern Illinois University in Dekalb, Illinois… right on the NIU football field… it is AMERICAN MELTDOWN 87! So far… here are the matches that have been signed… Bam Bam Bigelow vs One Man Gang for the Chicago Street Fight Championship! Blackjack, Spivey, & Hall vs Kamala & The Samoan Savages in a Blackjack Brawl! Chris Adams vs Randy Macho Man Savage w/ Elizabeth Jake The Snake Roberts vs Jimmy Garvin w/ Precious The Rockers vs Bob Orton & Dick Slater for the Windy City Tag Team Championship! We will have more matches announced in the coming weeks but this WILL be the event of the Summer and we hope that everyone can be there…. Right now it is time for the main event! Mike McGuirk: Ladies and gentlemen, this is our main event of the evening… introducing first… he hails from Knoxville, Tennessee, Nature Boy Buddy Landel! His partner… from Tampa, Florida… he is the former Windy City Heavyweight Champion… Austin Idol! Their opponents… from Kansas City, he is the reigning Windy City Heavyweight Champion… Harley Race! His partner… Harley Race hands Mike McGuirk a card… she just smiles… who could this be? Mike McGuirk: Ladies and gentlemen… the partner for Harley Race… he hails from Asbury Park, New Jersey… the Beast from the East…. BAM BAM BIGELOW!!! MAIN EVENT Harley Race & Bam Bam vs Austin Idol & Buddy Landel Big time opportunity for Bammer here tonight and he makes due by wowing the crowd from the get go Bam Bam and Landel do a majority of the work while Idol and Race play their roles to a T as well This is a true coming out party for Bammer who looks like a million dollars when all is said and done Idol and Race hook up to bring the crowd to their feet and the fans are just pining for these two After about 13-minutes, we get to the final moments, which really show off the shine of Bam Bam Race plays the face in peril and makes a huge tag to the big man who comes in like a house of fire Idol and Landel both get clotheslined, backdropped, and then powerslammed! Race is back to his feet and all hell continues to break loose. All four men are in the ring and then we see Idol get clotheslined out of the ring to the floor by Bam Bam On the other side… Landel gets nailed with a HIGH KNEE from Race! Bam Bam is up top with a DIVING HEADBUTT! 1…..2….3!!! Bigelow pins Landel and we have a winner! The aftermath continues as Idol grabs a chair and nails Race and Bigelow in the back. Joe Pedicino tries to get in there along with some referees and this is pure chaos. Race then gets back to his feet with the belt and comes after Idol who jumps over the top rope to the floor! Race is being held back and now Landel comes from behind and these guys continue to brawl. We see the Renegade Warriors, Killer Bees, Grapplers, RPMs, and New Breed all come out to try and break things up a bit. Idol throws a chair at Race who then jumps out of the ring after him! Absolute mayhem right now. The wrestlers and referees finally get things settled before Race grabs a microphone… Race: Listen up Idol… you good for nothing piece of garbage… I have had enough to know I have had too much. This place isn’t big enough for the two of us… so I am proposing a match. American Meltdown. I will not only put my title on the line… but let’s say the loser has to leave Windy City Pro Wrestling for the rest of 1987! The crowd pops big for that one… Pedicino shakes his head… Idol is screaming that he’s going to retire Race… fans it looks like American Meltdown has its Main Event! We’ll see you on July 1st!!

AWA is moving in a great direction and Tommy Rich is steering the ship in that direction. Lawler and Rich is pure and simple money and it is going to make the AWA some huge money. I think my biggest thing is the next in line... Slater was robbed... Steamboat has momentum... Terry Taylor looks to be an up and comer... plus now we've got the Superfly. The mix of talent with a big name like Rich at the top allows for a lot of potential in the future. Oh yeah... Nick Busick... get him a big cigar and let him bully anyone he can get his hands on.

My girl Lisa is doing work. I think she will be back in the main event mix sooner than later.

The NWA... bringing some good stuff here... Shaska gets a title show in the future. Big night in charlotte coming up. The Bash is right on the brink here for the NWA. Tag Team Cage match. I also love that 3 on 1 Giant Haystacks matchup. Could we see Andre come down to the NWA and make his claim as the number one big man in the world?

Ron Simmons and Warrior continue to build. I think these two make for a great team but also with a bright future. That's the thing I love about PCW... so much potential all the way up and down the card. Seeing the Harts with Flyin Brian is also a nice nod. Looks like Big Bubba and Texas Red want to take a trip over to Chicago and see if they can hang in the Street Fight Championship Scene!

1975 - Terry Funk - Bobby Heenan - Randy Savage 1985 - Terry Funk - Flair - Tully 1995 - Shawn - Bret - Eddie Guerrero 2005 - CM Punk - Randy Orton - Bryan Danielson 2015 - AJ Styles - Bryan Danielson - Seth Rollins 2025 - Danielson - Breakker - Ricochet

Chris Adams is on the block if there is any interest.

CARD IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE.... BUT THIS WILL BE A GOOD CHANGE!!!

I looked on the list here and the 88 rookie list and Curtis Thompson isn't listed anywhere. Could I make a claim on him? I know I get to add some guys coming up and wanted to see if he could be one of them.

Abdullah is returning to Windy City while Fidel sierra will move on

Windy City is looking to move the following... Buddy Landel & Bill Dundee The Killer Bees The Grapplers (Denton and Anthony) Ranger Ross Rocky Johnson

CHICAGO STREET FIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Luke Williams vs Jerry Saggs An interesting introduction for the Sheepherder as he comes right out with some big time blows and even brings a trash can to the ring Falls can count anywhere with this one and these guys stretch that into the crowd The chaos is imminent as fans scatter… That is until we see Brian Knobbs come out of nowhere with a chair and destroy Luke’s back! The referee isn’t sure what to do as it is a 2 on 1 but now here comes Butch! These four are beating the hell out of one another as they go to the back escorted by security. Mark Reynolds & Tim Smith vs Bob Orton & Dick Slater The debuting Slater and Orton team has all the makings of something special here in Windy City. Slater and Orton make quick work of Reynolds and Smith Slater hits a nasty brainbuster that shakes the ring. A spike Piledriver on Smith spells the end Orton and Slater look like they want more… who will challenge them? CHICAGO STREET FIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Dan Spivey vs Killer Khan Our second street fight really doesn’t live up to the hype Khan is about as broken down as it gets… Spivey has to carry him through the contest We get a little bit of weaponry when Khan tries to use the ringbell but Spivey ducks it and comes back with a huge boot Spivey picks up the bell and CRACKS Khan The 3-count spells the end… Spivey is moving on. The Killer Bees vs Austin Idol & Buddy Landel A really solid mid card contest here with four all pros Idol looks more fierce than ever as he is coming off that great title run Landel looks like he has got something to prove out here tonight The Bees are also bring some big time energy to the contest and give these guys all they can handle. These guys get close to the 20-minute mark In the final moments… we see Idol hit a low blow on Blair that goes unnoticed by the referee Landel comes over with a running knee lift and then the 3 count! Idol and Landel may have stolen one here… {Pedicino gets in the ring and announces that the scheduled match was supposed to be Butch vs Knobbs but all four of these men have been disqualified from the tournament but will meet in a tag team match in two weeks when Windy City comes to Kankakee. The next contest is a semifinal match with the winner facing Spivey later on this evening…we see the debuting One Man Gang come out and the crowd is really stirring. Joe Pedicino then gets word and announces…Buzz Sawyer was expected to be in this matchup but has no-shwed the event. In his place… here comes the challenger of the One Man Gang….} CHICAGO STREET FIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Blackjack Mulligan vs One Man Gang BLACKJACK is here and by golly he looks ready for a fight! Gang can’t believe it… he meets him in the aisleway and they are throwing some big time hoss bombs! Jack tosses Gang into the guardrail and he goes flying into the crowd! Mulligan goes in there and now they are amongst the fans! Gang comes back with a chair shot right to the head and Mulligan goes down Gang comes or another one and here comes Mulligan with a big uppercut! Mulligan then comes with a clothesline and Gang and Mulligan tumble over the rail Gang gets up and Mulligan tosses him into the ring steps! Mulligan puts him back into the ring and then hits a big bodyslam! Wait a moment… oh my… here comes KAMALA and the SAVAGES! They attack Mulligan… Akbar is leading the charge! Gang is able to get to his feet and he shakes hands with Akbar before smashing down on Mulligan The Savages hit a double bodyslam Kamala with a big splash! Here comes Gang with another BIG SPLASH! 1….2…..3! Gang has won it and you know he’ll be looking for that title later on against Spivey! WINDY CITY TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP The Rockers vs The Rock N Roll RPMs A pretty good tag team encounter here for the Rockers There is still some controversy surrounding their title reign and what happened at Triumph The RPMs get some good offense in and keep the match serviceable Jannetty is rocking the facemask due to the cracked orbital bone The Rockers show why their one of the top teams in wrestling… The big double fist drop spells the end 1….2….3! The Rockers retain and look good doing it! Ranger Ross vs Jim Garvin w/ Precious A good showcase for Gorgeous Jimmy here and he looks like he’s prime for something more here in Windy City Ross has got some offense but nothing major The finish sees the hot shot suplex into a brainbuster for the finish The 3-count is all she wrote and then Jimmy gets on the microphone… Jimmy: Now listen up people… just like I did to Chris Adams… just like I did to this puke Ranger Ross… I am knocking them down faster than they can stand them up here in Windy City. It is high time for me to get my hands on some gold. Now… Joe Pedicino knows that if I face Harley Race… I will be the Windy City champion… and he doesn’t want that so he continues to send these punks out here to get broken by Gorgeous Jimmy. So Pedicino… who in the hell do you have left? Huh? I will knock any of them down and out for good baby! -THE LIGHTS GO OUT!- {There is a stir in the crowd… the fans are starting to cheer… a spotlight hits the ring on Jimmy and he turns but we can’t see who he sees… the lights go back out… a loud bang is heard on the mat! The spotlight comes back on and Jimmy is laid out in the middle of the ring… the lights go out… then come back on…} {JAKE THE SNAKE ROBERTS IS HERE!!! The crowd explodes!

His opponent… the reigning and defending Windy City Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Champion… From Kansas City, Missouri… Harley Race! WINDY CITY HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Harley Race Title © vs Bill Dundee w/ Buddy Landel A great little main event here… nothing too crazy. Bill Dundee is really not at the level of Race but they have a good enough contest. This one goes about 14-minutes and we see Landel help out Dundee every chance he can. Race never really looks to be in dire straits but he fights back like there is no tomorrow. The finish sees Race hit Landel with the running knee while he’s on the apron… Dundee runs and Race ducks a cross body Race then with a big boot to the belly and PILEDRIVER!!! 1…2….3!!!

Idol jumps out of the ring with Landel and Dundee… Race has got the title and the momentum… what will Idols next move be? Join us in two weeks when we’re in Kankakee for Windy City High Voltage!}

Well... needless to say the new faces come to UWF with a huge bang. Buzz, Nikita, Hacksaw Hercules... Wahoo... shit. The tide of the UWF is about to change and no telling who is going to sink or swim with these sharks.

PCW has got some big things happening with Guys like Backlund and One Man Gang setting the bar higher and higher each week. I and hoping for MXE to show everyone what their made of sooner than later. I am also interested in Dingo and Simmons and what they could become... lots of intrigue with your roster.

Memorial Day was memorable without question... I will first say that Megaman is going to be a real star as NWA TV Champ! The DDQ with the Road Warriors makes sense. Their are such a dominant team... it is hard to beat them in any shape or fashion. Hansen defeats Macho Man... hopefully he's got greener pastures in the future. Then... well here it is...Flair is NWA Champion...Tully has to be hot for a rematch and in his mind I am sure it can't come soon enough.

I have enjoyed our joint promoting of the ladies and you continue to build up their reputation in our world of wrestling. Vicky and Velvet with big wins. Misty Blue is on top of her game. New Six Women Champs.

Some really good stuff out of the AWA. A couple of bright spots... Ricky Steamboat is the highlight of night one... without question he is what I'd consider the next in line to be the MAN in AWA. Terry Taylor and Tom Zenk as a tag team is very good in my book. Way to utilize their talents. The Sheepherders make good with a huge victory. Finally... Lawler comes back and Dick Slater walks out with the title... AWA continues to make headlines.
