Savage and Borne... Dog Collar... how does the Macho Man come off the top rope when he's attached? I think Hacksaw and the Road Warriors are going to go all the way with the six-man although the team of Dundee, Haystacks, and Street is going to make it interesting!

Wendi Richter is probably the most decorated champion in our universe right now and for good reason. Great job with writing up her dominance. I am excited to see how Luna fares more here and I am a fan of Rhonda and just how good she was for her size. You continue to peak my interest in women's wrestling!

So much to catch up with... love it. I appreciate that little show in the Ellis... classic old school with a big time main event to bring in the fans. In regards to television... obviously Rich and Sawyer is a must and they have all the foundations of a big feud and you get to put your flavor on it.

Hennig vs Bob Orton is a fun little encounter. Curt on his way up while Orton is on the backend but could still go. Konnan vs OMG isn't nearly as spectacular as their wars in 1995 wcw Barry Windham as the top tier is going to be hard for anyone to reach. In 87 he was as smooth as silk and continues to be the man here. I like him as a centerpiece!

WCPW drops Kabuki for the Baron!

Windy City Pro Wrestling Live February 4th The Civic Center in Oakbrook, Illinois Joe Pedicino: Welcome Wrestling fans to WINDY CITY CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING! We have got a TREMENDOUS night of action for you. We will crown NEW Tag Team Champions. We’ll also see Austin Idol defend his title against Terry Taylor! Also tonight we’ll see the debuts of Scott Steiner and this new team… from Sun City… here they come…The Dynamic Dudes! {Here comes The Z-man and Johnny Ace! They have got the look and they seem to have some fans behind them. They are rocking the white tights and boots to go with some orange ring coats. Let’s see what they can do…} The Z-Man & Johnny Ace v The Nightmares The way an opening should be, fresh babyfaces who get the crowd going something special. The Nightmares know their role and get some nice heat on Ace and Z Ace and Z don’t have a ton of skill per say in the ring but their look and flash make up for it. We get a nice heat segment on Johnny Ace who is able to make the big tag to the Z-man He comes in with some big clotheslines and dropkicks The finish is pretty special… Johnny Ace picks up Danny Davis on his shoulders and The Z-man off the top rope with a dropkick What a maneuver and the 3-count spells the end The Dynamic Dudes are off to a hot start and they’ll be paying attention to ho walks away with the tag titles later on tonight! {After the contest, Joe Pedicino gets in the ring to announce the next match but before he does… here comes Austin Idol and Buddy Landel. They are promp and primped to just annoy the hell out of the fans.} Joe Pedicino: What do we owe this pleasure? Austin Idol: I came out here to tell all these morons that they need to go back to the ticket booth. They need to pay double in order to see the champ tonight baby! Joe Pedicino: Oh please… I don’t think these people paid to see you as much as they paid for Terry Taylor to BEAT YOU! Austin Idol: Watch your tongue there Pedicino… I want to make one thing clear as crystal daddy and that is that this title is mine and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Tonight Terry Taylor finds out the hard way but he is the first of many. I don’t care who it is… Terry Taylor… Danny Spivey… or even that broke down ol bag of bones… Harley Race… {Uh oh… here comes Race and he doesn’t look to be in a good mood. He has got his jeans and cowboy boots on and he is unbuttoning his shirt as he throws it to the ground and gets in the ring.} Buddy Landel: Hold it right there old man… you and I are gonna be facing off tonight and well… Harley Race: If you don’t shut your mouth, I will shut it for you! Listen to me… a lot of people have asked why I chose to come here to Windy City. They asked whether I could still go. They asked whether I could still be someone to be reckoned with in this sport and I am here to tell you that as God as my witness I am going to show everyone that I am still Harley Race damnit! Landel… tonight… you’re going to see why I am the only 7 time NWA World Champion and damnit you will respect me! {Race shoves the microphone into Buddy’s chest and he points at Idol and makes the sign for the title belt. Here we go! The ring clears as Pedicino announces our next contest…} Dan Spivey vs The Grappler Big Dan Spivey with a premiere matchup with the Grappler Grappler may not be at the height of his career but he definitely knows how to get some heat and he shows it here tonight. Spivey, even though he’s big, sells very well and makes Grappler look good. Just when you think hope is lot, Big Dan Spivey turns it around and comes back with some big offense. We then see a huge clothesline off the middle rope from Spivey onto Grappler and the 3-count! Big Dan with the win and he is looking like something special here in WCPW! {Dan Spivey shakes hands with the fans and works the crowd. He lingers a little while the intros are done for the next match. That brings out Bad News Allen who looks at Spivey and these two appear to have some kind of an issue. They’re eyeing one another up as they go separate ways.} Iceman Parsons vs Bad News Allen The Iceman has got a good following and perhaps the Oak Brook is hip to his game Bad News… well he is bad news and these two go toe to toe and throw some big time bombs Iceman is all about the show but Bad News isn’t really having it. This one only goes about 8-minutes and serves its purpose to show that Bad News is a force A nasty Judo kick sets up the Ghetto Blaster for the 3-count! {Bad News seems to like letting the fans know he is the man. He is really working the crowd and sometimes saying nothing at all is the most powerful thing. Next up, we’ve got our tag team title tournament…} The Rockers vs The Moondogs Two teams with a lot to prove here. The Rockers really come out firing. The Moondogs are pretty imobile and don’t add to much to the match outside of the brawling. Michaels and Jannetty can throw with the best of them and really bring everything they’ve got. The end sees a huge dropkick from Jannetty leading to a crucifix by Michaels on Rex for the 3-count! The Rockers move on but who will they face? {The fans are solidly behind the Rockers and they work the fans while we get our introductions for the next tag team match} The New Breed vs The Nasty Boys A little bit better match than the previous. The New Breed have a cult following… more of the males but females seem to like them as well. The Nasty Boys are bringing the brawling once again and the New Breed don’t seem to have an answer The Nasties also double team every chance they get which turns the tide to their advantage. The finish sees all four men getting involved The referee is losing control The Nasty Boys seem to be losing the edge but here comes Knobbs and he NAILS Champion in the back with a chair! Saggs grabs Champion for a double arm DDT and he’s out! The cover…1….2….3!!! The Nasty Boys are moving on to face the Rockers in the finals! {The Nasties are having it out with the fans and referees right now. They have got a lot of issue with what happened and the crowd is showering them with boos. Next up, Scott Steiner makes his debut and he looks like a million dollars.} Scott Steiner vs Dark Ninja A simple showcase for Steiner Ninja (Hase) puts forth a good effort to put Steiner over Scotty hits some big power moves and a twilt a whirl that blows the roof off the civic center! Steiner then grabs the Ninja and hits a sick double arm powerbomb and then the 3-count! The All American from Michigan is showing everyone that he is here and he means business! {The first of our three main events is up next with Landel coming out to a chorus of boos. Here comes Race, the biggest name in WCPW but also a man with something to prove. He walks into the ring knowing that every chance he gets in the ring could be his last…} Harley Race vs Buddy Landel This one is a good 12-minute contest full of psychology Landel works the fans and makes them seeth to see him get what is coming to him. Race looks to be winded around the 10-minute mark but he continues to fight on. Landel is working the neck and back and setting up Race Harley then finds that something extra and hammers away with rights and lefts and now Race is in control Idol makes his way down to the ring and he is trying to get Harley’s attention Race, the consignment pro, doesn’t pay mind to Idol Race acts like he’s going for the piledriver but Landel with a backdrop! Landel throws Race into the ropes and Idol is holding him up Landel acts as though he’s going to knock him out and he runs but Race ducks and Idol goes flying into the guardrail! Race hits the ropes as Landel turns around and HIGH KNEE! 1….2….3! Race has won it! {Race gets out of the ring and works the crowd. He is winded but he says that Idol is next! Next up for us is the WCPW Tag Team Championship finals. It is the Rockers vs the Nasty Boys!} WCPW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP The Nasty Boys vs The Rockers Here is a rematch from last week Tonight there must be a winner These four bring everything they’ve got and work for a solid 13-minutes The Nasties do look pretty rough near the end as the Rockers carry the match A lot of speed and double teams from the Rockers and the highlights include double dropkicks and then double baseball slides. The fun doesn’t stop there as Michaels goes up to the top and he’s going to fly but Knobbs catches him and slams him into the guardrail! Michaels is busted wide open! This one is a gusher and Michaels doesn’t look good The referee is acting like he going to call the match on account of the blood but Michaels waves him off The next couple of minutes are tough as Michaels tries to fight but the Nasties are just too much. They work him over as Jannetty tries to get in every chance he can The finish sees Michaels fight back… go for the big tag but the referee misses it when Knobbs jumps in the ring Marty comes flying but the referee has to push him back out Meanwhile, the Nasty Boys hoist up Michaels and SPIKE PILEDRIVER! Sags runs and tackles Jannetty as we get the 3-count! {The Nasties are the FIRST EVER WCPW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! They walk to the back smiling… inside the ring…The Rockers are in rough shape and Michaels doesn’t seem to be doing well at all. We’ll see where this goes. We then get a very special interview…} Joe Pedicino: Fans, I want to welcome in a very special talent… with his valet Precious… Jimmy Garvin! {Garvin comes out to a lukewarm reception} Joe Pedicino: Mr. Garvin, thank you for joining us here tonight and officially signing with Windy City Pro Wrestling. Jimmy: Hold it there Pedichino… I was told I would get the pomp and circumstance… I was told there’d be champaign and a limo. Hell I had to rent my own car… and there were used beer cans in the back. Listen pally… I am big time brother… I am the highest priced talent that WCPW could ever want and when I step into that ring I get paid… but when you see this beautiful face… I get paid twice as much you know what I am saying. Joe Pedicino: I can only apologize about… Jimmy: Don’t say sorry about nothing… fix it man. You know I have been a champion everywhere I’ve went. I have held title after title. These people know that Jimmy Garvin means champion and for all the guys in the back… listen up and listen up good… I am what they call the gold standard… you ain’t a champion until you beat me and I ain’t been beat yet! {The crowd then pops and Garvin thinks it is for him… but it is actually Gentlemen Chris Adams! Adams walks up behind Garvin…} Joe Pedicino: Woah… ladies and gentlemen… Chris Adams! Chris Adams: Excuse me Joe… I couldn’t handle hearing this anymore… Jimmy Garvin… you and I have a long history and I have to say that you’ve made quite a name for yourself… Jimmy Garvin: That’s right pally and what’s it… Chris Adams: I wasn’t done talking… I was going to say that you’ve made quite the name for yourself… now you want to be called the Gold Standard… well the only thing better than gold is platinum and you can consider me the Platinum Player who is going to dump you on your head… although it may not hurt with all that hair… unless its a wig! Jimmy: Hold it right there Adams… this ain’t no wig… Chris Adams: Well… I guess someday we might find out. Until then… Cheerio… Jimmy: What is this guy a cereal salesman? Pedicino… get this figured out… Joe Pedicino: Fans… it is time for our main event… for the Windy City Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Championship! From Greenville, South Carolina… ladies and gentlemen… the challenger…Terry Taylor! From Tampa, Florida… ladies and gentlemen… the Windy City Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Champion…. Austin Idol! WCPW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Terry Taylor vs Austin Idol © Big match feel for this one. These guys feel each other out Idol isn’t who he was years ago but he still has the psychology to work the fans and Terry Taylor helps make him look great. Idol then turns the tide for the final moments of the contest. We see him really work the neck and the back Idol says he’s going to finish him off and he nails a PILEDRIVER! 1….2….FOOT on the rope! Idol can’t believe it, he argues with the referee, Taylor is in a bad way Idol continues to gloat but when he picks up Taylor, he reverses to a small package for a 2 count. It was a last ditch effort by Taylor… he looks like he doesn’t have anything left and then he turns it on! Taylor comes back with some huge rights and lefts He sends Idol to the ropes and BACK BODY DROP! Idol is looking rough Taylor hits the ropes and then the FLYING FOREARM! Idol goes crashing out of the ring to the floor! The referee is counting but Taylor stops him Here comes Buddy… he helps up his friend but then Taylor walks over and CRACKS their heads together! Idol is reeling right now and he’s tossed back in the ring Taylor is going up to top rope but Buddy is yelling at him Wait a second… HARLEY RACE… Race turns Landel around and a HUGE right hand! Taylor turns but Idol hits the ropes and Taylor goes down hard on the turnbuckle! Idol pulls Taylor down… picks him up… PILEDRIVER for the 1…..2….3!!! {Idol has won it. The crowd is shocked. Buddy is out, outside the ring. Race then gets inside the ring and he is eye to eye with Idol. These two are ready to explode! Idol goes for a right hand but Race ducks and nails one of his own and Idol goes flying over the top to the floor! Race stands tall as he helps up Taylor… we’ll see you in two weeks in Rockford!}

I like the way you have this show put together. It is easy to read to right to the point. Pillman.. in 87... all the potential in the world. Eddie is in the same boat. These guys could be real foundations. I awesome love Big Bubba... I've said it before... he may be the guy who I am pulling for the most in this world of wrestling. I really like the format of the 2/3 Falls match. The draw is always an interesting finish... what is the next match that these two can have to have a winner? Lastly, no dq, six-man tag. Pure chaos. The big man Texas Red, he's got to fight against the odds in the future. You've got some really good stuff going here in PCW. I like the real mix of talent that you've got.

The Dream and the Nature Boy... watch out 1987... I am also a huge fan of Duggan here with the Road Warriors. I only wonder if he'll paint his face like them as well? Big Daddy Ritter... well... he and Wild Bill have a wild one. I may have to do some learning on Steve Wright... I am not too familiar with him. I will put over your loops. Realistic towns. Awesome cards. Tully Blanchard on top... I love it.

I am a pretty big fan of Dick Slater and I always want to see him get things going. I always think that he could be a top tier Greg Valentine type. I am looking forward to the Big Brawl event. Lots on the line and plenty of drama going into it. There are plenty of matches to build intrigue which helps look forward to all the different things that could happen on the show.

I am enjoying the Hot Stuff Inc pieces. I always loved them in UWF and what a way to kick off some young stars. I like Brad Armstrong here and he is getting a good win against Muta. Brad had the talent and here you're giving him the time to develop. Demo vs Mira Vio is a dream match in any era. Here... these guys would all be young and in shape and I would agree that there'd be some potatoes left and right. I am a bigger fan of Lawler now than I ever have been. I see him as a real top 5 all timer. He can change the scope of a promotion and his return spells trouble for anyone in his way.

Sounds good. I want to make room for him down the line. I agree on his value.

I really like the detail you're putting into the shows and the presentation. I like the simple match results sometimes with the extra boost of what happened. A six-woman cage match for the titles. I would be intrigued to say the least. I am still working on some of the names here but I am getting more familiar. I am excited to see how the blues come back from a pretty rough night.

Would anyone be opposed to me signing Nick Bockwinkle in a non-wrestling role?

I found my niche for Garvin. Jones and Barb are still available for offers if anyone is interested.

I had a plan for Barbarian and Paul Jones but wasn't quite feeling it.

I have a picture pack from TEW 2016 then I just open a doc and place the picks and add clip art for the text. Wait until you see the show poster after this one... best I've done so far.

Cpl Kirchner comes to windy city

Hey everyone, I wanted to let everyone know that I plan on running shows every two weeks on Fridays. So essentially, all of my talent is available to share/loan during the rest of the time. I don't have any plans to get bigger until the summer time (Maybe Weekly?) so if anyone is interested in bringing in some of my guys for shows for a couple of weeks, let me know and we can work out a sharing agreement. If you'd like to have them full-time, I am sure we can figure something out. I just don't want to turn into Taco Bell with 8 ingredients for 30 different menu options

Joe Pedicino: Welcome ladies and gentlemen to Windy City Pro Wrestling! Tonight we have got a very special lineup with some great talent from around the world. We will also crown our first heavyweight champion here this evening. I want to thank you all for joining us this evening and we plan to bring you the absolute…. {Austin Idol and Buddy Landel are walking down to the ring. They get in and grab the microphone from Joe Pedicino…} Austin Idol: Now hold up just a damn minute here boy… you maybe run your mouth out there on the radio station… you run your mouth to the magazines… but you keep quiet when it comes to Austin Idol and Buddy Landel. Buddy Landel: Yeah Pedicino… what gives huh? You say we’re crowning a champ… well… look no further… you’ve got the two best right here man. Let us decide who the champ is between us. Joe Pedicino: Gentlemen, please, I was just about to say that we’ve got a special tournament tonight. We will have five singles matches… then… the winners of those matches will meet in our main event tonight in a five-man battle royal with the winner becoming the first WCPW Heavyweight Champion! Austin: Well spill man… who are we facing… Joe Pedicino: Well… Buddy… you will be taking on none other than… Terry Taylor! That match starts right now! {Taylor walks out to a good pop from the fans. There’s about 1,200 fans here in the civic center. Landel isn’t happy… but here we go. The first of five qualifying matches… who will make it to the main event?} Buddy Landel vs Terry Taylor Our first qualifying match is scheduled for one fall with a 15-minute time limit. These two men match up very well and highlight the other’s strength Taylor is a clear cut babyface and works the fans as such Buddy has got Idol out there with him and they are getting some monster heat from the crowd. These two go around 12-minutes and it is back and forth Neither man is able to get a clear advantage which makes the match more interesting. The finish is pretty fast as Idol tries to get involved outside the ring and he ends up holding Taylor in the ropes as Landel runs for a knee but Taylor moves, Idol goes flying! Taylor hits the ropes and then a huge flying forearm on Landel and a 3-count! {Taylor works the crowd as Idol and Landel are hot! They have got one more shot but who will Idol be facing? Joe Pedicino is in the ring to announce the other qualifying matches…} Joe Pedicino: What a way to kick off Windy City Pro Wrestling! I am excited to announce that we will have four more qualifying matches. The next will be between Dan Spivey and Kabuki! Then We’ll see The Exotic Adrian Street taking on Bad News Allen! Austin Idol will be taking on the Iceman King Parsons! Our final qualifying match will be between The Grappler and Former NWA World Heavyweight Champion… Harley Race! It is now time for our next contest… a tag team encounter… let’s go to the ring! The Moondogs vs The Batten Twins Rex and Spot don’t mix too well with this Chicago crowd The gimmick may not be over right now but 1987 is a time of change Brad and Bart come out to some USA pop and work the fans Both teams are solid enough but not something to hinge a division This one only goes 9-minutes, the Battens trying to make a good comeback but the Moondogs are going low A pair of nasty headbutts open up Bart… but then Spot NAILS him with the DOG BONE Rex runs and hits the splash for the 3-count {The Moondogs prove they will do whatever it takes to win a match. The fans aren’t happy about it but they turn that up even more when Kabuki walks out. They are really giving him the business. Here comes Dan Spivey and he looks to be a huge powerhouse here in WCPW with the fans behind him. Kabuki vs Dan Spivey A very interesting mix of styles here Spivey knows the Japanese style but it isn’t pretty Kabuki really can’t bump so the match is slow and plodding A 7-minute contest with Spivey hitting a huge middle rope clothesline A 3-count and Spivey is moving on with Terry Taylor. {Spivey appears to have a good following here. Next out is Austin Idol who is continuing to build up some heat from earlier. Then Iceman King Parsons comes out dancing and working the fans in a big way!} Austin Idol vs Iceman Parsons Taylor and Landel was good… this was better… just more entertaining. These two are able to get the crowd in the palm of their hands Everytime Iceman looks to get going Idol cheats to bring him back Iceman then gets in a groove and he is looking for some big shots and hits 3 huge dropkicks right in a row Idol is reeling… here comes Iceman as he flies for a crossbody but Landel pulls the ropes down and Iceman goes crashing to the floor! Iceman looks like he landed bad on the floor The referee continues to count Idol gets the referee’s attention long enough for Buddy Landel to show up and hit Iceman with a knee right to the skull The referee turns around, none the wiser, continues to count and hits 10! Austin Idol moves on to the finals due to count out {No question that Idol and Landel are making their presence known right now. The crowd is rabid towards them. Next up is a tag team match with the Nightmares taking on… the New Breed!} The Nightmares vs The New Breed Another interesting mix of styles The New Breed have really turned things around and have got the music and the fans behind them The Nightmares are more of a gimmick and not taken too seriously by the fans Wayne and Davis do take every chance to break the rules to get ahead. The New Breed makes a good comeback but the match is only about 9-minutes A miscommunication sets up a hot tag to Champion who flies around the ring The Nightmares can’t catch a break Champion off the ropes with a huge spinning heel kick on Davis and the 3-count! The New Breed looks strong {Champion and Royal work the fans. They have some skills for sure that work for this crowd. Next out though… well… he’s exotic… Adrian Street comes out with Ms. Linda and they have got the crowd all worked up. His opponent… from Harlem… here comes Bad News Allen!} Adrian Street w/ Ms. Linda vs Bad News Allen Another very strange mix of styles. The match is entertaining enough Street uses the mind games to get control Allen has got some big moves to get back Street can definitely work and shows it off to an extent The finish sees Ms. Linda hand her bag to Street who goes to crack Allen but he ducks… the referee is seeing all this go down. Allen goes for a big clothesline but Street ducks and Street swings but Allen ducks and then GHETTO BLASTER TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! Allen with the 3-count and Bad News is moving on to the finals! {The field is almost set with one spot remaining… who goes in… the Grappler or Race? Grappler is not very well liked here… but Race gets a champions welcome. No doubt… he isn’t in his prime. No doubt… he isn’t in the best shape… but without a doubt… he is a LEGEND!} The Grappler vs Harley Race A main event for some intents, no question that these two are very accomplished. These two stretch this into 10-minutes but you can tell that Race… well… he’s a little gassed Grappler is working him over something good but then Harley fights back He nails some huge left hands and then a big headbutt Grappler goes low and tries to get back in control. Grappler goes for a piledriver but Race tosses him over his back. Race then hits the ropes as Grappler gets up and RUNNING HIGH KNEE! 1….2…3! Harley Race is moving on! {Race shows his support for the fans as they do the same for him. Our next contest is sure to be something… here comes the Nasty Boys and they are all about working the crowd up. Next out… perhaps the diamond in the rough here in WCPW… the Rockers!} The Nasty Boys vs The Rockers What a contest… these four have got something to prove right now. The crowd is solidly behind the Rockers who bring every ounce of energy to this match The Nasties are very green in their careers and have to work a little bit harder to keep up with the Rockers At about the 13-minute mark… this one takes a turn… We see Knobbs and Saggs with a double clothesline on Jannetty who goes out of the ring to the floor. Knobbs and Saggs then go and work him over and then we see the spot of the night when Shawn Michaels gets up on the top rope and crossbodies all 3-men! The fight continues and then the Nasties grab a chair but so do the Rockers. We get a pair of chair shots… the referee has lost control Both teams are disqualified but the Rockers stand tall as they are begging the Nasty Boys to come back for more! {Joe Pedicino puts over the big night of action we’ve seen as he discusses the Main Event and shows off the WCPW Title! He says it will be a 5-man battle royal. Eliminations occur by throwing someone over the top rope, submission, or pinfall. The last man standing will be crowned the champion. He then welcomes out a couple of guys who look to be in great shape… here comes Scott Steiner… Tom Zenk… and Johnny Ace! These three all look to be in great shape. They put over the Chicago crowd. They talk about making their debut in two weeks when Windy City comes to Oakbrook, Illinois! The fans hoot and holler and then get ready for the main event…} Joe Pedicino: Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for our main event. This match is for the Windy City Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Championship! This will be a five-man battle royal in which eliminations can occur via over the top rope elimination, pinfall, or submission. The last man standing will be crowned the first Windy City Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Champion! Now… our competitors… Hailing from Greenville, South Carolina… Terry Taylor! Coming from Harlem, New York… Bad News Allen! Hailing from Odessa, Florida… Danny Spivey! Coming from Tampa, Florida… Austin Idol! Hailing from St. Louis, Missouri… Harley Race! MAIN EVENT WCPW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP FIVE-MAN BATTLE ROYAL Harley Race vs Austin Idol vs Dan Spivey vs Terry Taylor vs Bad News Allen All five men get their chance to be on the top of the mountain today. Idol is a clear heel and acts as such. Taylor is a babyface and matches up right with him. Bad News is skirting the line but Spivey seems to get some nice pop from the crowd Harley Race plays the line and watches as everything unfolds. All five men end up getting involved with one another in one form or fashion. The first elimination happens when Austin Idol hits Terry Taylor with a low blow and then he’s tossed over the top rope to the floor! Bad News and Spivey seem to have called one another out and it is an all out brawl with these two just throwing some legit bombs. Harley and Idol are battling on the other side of the ring. Spivey then hits a huge clothesline on Brown and sends him over the ropes but he’s on the apron. Bad News then grabs the back of Spivey and they battle and then get pulled over the ropes and both men go to the floor! It is down to Harley Race and Austin Idol and they go toe to toe. Race looks like he is making his last stand and throwing everything he’s got at Idol. Idol goes for a huge clothesline but Race with the atomic drop and now he’s in control. Buddy Landel comes out of the shadows and he grabs the foot of Harley Race who turns his attention outside of the ring… Austin Idol then runs with a knee and Race topples over the top to the floor. {Austin Idol has won it! Buddy grabs the belt and hands it to him. They celebrate in the ring while the fans throw some debris at them. Idol works the fans and Buddy is eating it all up. Harley is outside of the ring and he doesn’t appear to be happy. Joe Pedicino puts this over and talks about Windy City coming to Oak Brook, Illinois on February the 4th. We’ll see you then!!!}

WCPW is going to bring in Doug Furnas and let Ranger Ross find work elsewhere.

Wendi fucking Richter... give me Medusa every day of the week and twice on Sunday. She's a champ champ... Medusa has revenge in her eyes and I am hopeful she gets it sooner than later.

Jeff Jarrett and Eddie at this point in their careers could be a fun encounter. The Same goes for Owen Hart and Al Snow. A great eclectic group of talent who all will bring out the best in their opponents. I am very high on Big Bubba at this point... I see him being one of the tip top stars in this world of wrestling.

The AWA continues on the long road of ruin as we have some good action. I appreciated the Loser Leaves Match... Iceman has got a good history and I am sure (wink) he'll land on his toes in the future. Outside of that, I like this Larry and Perez team... two guys who had more potential than payoff imo. Tommy Rich is also one of my newfound faves after watching WCW Saturday Night from 1989-1991. He is so fun to watch and a true tv mvp. I am looking forward to his reign atop of the AWA mountain.

I can appreciate the Benoit and Eddie connection. To me, that would be a helluva unit. Freebirds continue to make their presence known and build up their credibility. You're doing a good job of mixing up your big and lower named talent along with helping create the personas that you've developed. I always struggle with my perception of someone compared to another along with how I present them in comparison to how they've been presented in the past. To me, Jake, 1987, he's a top tier guy here... Dibiase is the same, Demolition has the value and aren't quite the team they'd be in the fall of 1987 but they're still presented strong here. Lots of hard work goes into these pay offs and you're doing work.
