The Survivor Series video explodes onto the screen showing all the top stars of the WWF and the pairings leading up to tonight's big event. We then cut to ringside with Vince McMahon, Randy Savage, and Bobby the Brain Heenan! They run through the card and talk about how this is going to be a key moment for the teams to get their first feel against one another but also see how well their teams can work in this setting. Enough talk… let’s take it to the ring! The Smoking Gunns w/ Sunny & Brian Blair & Jim Brunzell vs Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch & Double J & The Road Dogg Opening match up doesn’t disappoint, especially with the view of Sunny at ringside. Cade and Murdoch are surprisingly the best duo of the bunch with some solid quick tags. The Bees get eliminated pretty quickly and look to be outmatched. The Road Dogg and Double J argue which leads to the Road Dogg being eliminated. The final moments see the Smoking Gunns double and triple teamed before getting into a huge brawl with Cade and Murdoch… leading to a double count out. Double J is the Sole Survivor! Rey Mysterio Jr & Dean Malenko & Matt & Jeff Hardy Vs Edge & Randy Orton & Warlord & Barbarian w/ Fuji A change of pace from the previous contest with regards to the babyfaces of the Hardys, Rey, and Malenko. Edge and Orton don’t seem to be too pleased with their partners right now. Early on we see the speed of the faces help their cause when the Hardys hit a big double dropkick on Warlord and then Rey with a hurricanrana for the pinfall. Barbarian out of nowhere with a clothesline that takes Dean Malenko’s head off. Barb gets the victory there. Matt Hardy then tries to come off the top rope but Barb catches him for a POWERSLAM and the 3-count. The change of momentum doesn’t last too long before Jeff Hardy comes with a huge dropkick to Barbs back before tagging in Rey who nails him with a hurricanrana and the 3-count. Orton and Edge then talk and we see a nice series between all four men. They go about 6-minutes and then Edge and Orton turn it on. Edge hits a spear on Jeff Hardy out of nowhere leading to the 3-count. Rey tries to come off the top rope but Orton counters it into an RKO! Randy Orton & Edge are the Survivors! Rick & Scott Steiner & Sting & Lex Luger Vs Scott Hall & Kevin Nash & Mike Rotundo & Steve Williams This one has got some heat with Hall and Nash having issues with Sting, Luger, and the Steiners. Luger and Sting don’t seem to be on the same page and have some issues with one another while Luger has issues with the Steiners! Rick Steiner and Steve Williams show off some serious power and strength but it doesn’t help either man as they go for a double count out. Rotundo does a majority of the work while Hall and Nash work the outside but they are forced to get involved when Rotundo falls prey to the Scorpion Death Lock! This is where things take a turn… Hall and Nash cause an issue with Luger and Scott Steiner. It ends up with Luger attacking Steiner as Hall and Nash attack both men. Nash ends up in the ring and Jacknifes Sting who looks to be unconscious! Nash then runs outside the ring as officials try to break up the melee but all four men are throwing fists. This causes a double DQ as everyone is outside the ring. Sting is the sole survivor! Dan Spivey & Sid Vicious & Road Warriors Hawk & Animal vs Akeem & Big Bossman w/ Slick & Brian Knobbs & Jerry Saggs Slick makes his presence known early but ends up getting absolutely rocked by Animal. The Twin Towers vs Skyscraper showdown is epic in the fact that all four men face off and start hammering one another all over the ringside area! Officials can’t break this one up either as all four men are thrown out but the brawl goes into the fans! Inside the ring, we see the Road Warriors show why they’re one of the top teams in wrestling. The Nasty Boys put up an effort but it doesn’t do too much. We see both Nasties eliminated by the Road Warriors as they get the victory! The Road Warriors are the Survivors! Bret Hart & Jim Neidhart & Shawn Michaels & Marty Jannetty Vs Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith & Chris Benoit & Chris Jericho Main event time, lots of juice, lots of history, here we go. All four men are able to get into the ring during the match and showcase their individual skills. Benoit and Michaels set the bar high only for Jericho and Jannetty to build it up, and then Bret and Owen to put it through the roof. Bulldog and Neidhart do their part… the strength and power. Bulldog obviously has skills but Neidhart isn’t giving him a ton to work with. Our first elimination happens when Jericho goes for a lionsault but Jannetty has made a blind tag and gets his knees up. Jericho is in a rough spot and turns around for Neidhart to come flying off the ropes for a shoulder block and the 3-count! Next up we see Owen Hart nail Marty Jannetty with a spinning heel kick that almost takes his head off for a 3-count. Neidhart is next when Davey and Owen team up on him leading to Benoit hitting the flying headbutt. Davey Boy gets hit with a crucifix and a quick roll up for the 3-count! Owen and Shawn throw some serious bombs. Benoit and Bret go toe to toe. The final eliminations occur when Benoit goes for the flying headbutt but Michaels moves! Benoit gets up and here comes a superkick from Michaels and then the 3-count! Owen then sets up and he hits Michaels with a moonsault off the top rope for the 3-count! It comes down to Owen vs Bret, they go toe to toe for 12-minute to finish off the show. The final elimination occurs when Owen hits a spinning heel kick. Bret stumbles up and Owen locks in a sleeper! Bret looks to be out but he goes up to the ropes and kicks off over the top of Owen to lock him up for the 3-count! Bret Hart is the SOLE SURVIVOR!

Full Gear time... sorry for taking JR but Tony and Excalibur do a good job. I really appreciate the continuation of AEW IRL to this move. Obviously not all the pieces are similar but you do a good job of intertwining. I think the Samoa Joe sighting is probably my biggest takeaway.I thought when he was released from WWE he was surefire going to AEW so I am pumped to see how he can make an impact here more than he already has. Also... CM Punk and Kingston... sign me up. I only wish I could have seen more build up for the feuds as I know I have watched some AEW but not enough to be completely up to speed. But that also means I am looking forward to the fall out and subsequent build to the next big event you put on.

Smackdown 1/19 from Detroit, Michigan Smackdown opens with Jim Ross and Bobby Heenan ringside as the crowd is hot for a big night of action. Ross and Heenan put over the tag team matches we’ll see tonight including the Twin Towers… plus the Skyscrapers. We’ll also see the Nasty Boys and the team of Owen Hart and the British Bulldog. Right now it is time to go to the ring for our first contest featuring the Killer Bees!

Scott Hall: He big man… looks like it is time to finally shut down all the naysayers… all the dirt sheet writers… everyone who doubts that the two of us aren’t the best thing going today.. Kevin Nash: It is pretty simple… you have two of the most accomplished wrestlers in the sport… together… with a single goal in mind. No one is going to stop us. No one can stop us. The sky is the limit and if you notice… it doesn’t get much bigger than this! *COMMERCIAL* The Road Dogg: J.E.Double F. J.A.Double R.E.Double T. Double J: Baby Jeff Jarrett here with my trusty Road Diggity Dog and brother the time has come for everyone to see exactly what the hype is all about. I am going to soar to the top of the mountain and reign supreme and you are gonna carry my bags all the way to the top! Brian Knobbs & Jerry Saggs defeated Nova Kim & Donny Murphy via the Trip to Nastyville! Billy Gunn: Bart there’s a lot of rough and tough competitors out there… just like the broncs and the bulls we used to take care of on the ranch. I think everyone knows what we can do but they don’t know about our secret weapon… Bart Gunn: Haha… we may have a pair of six shooters in our holsters but when push comes to shove and it is time for the fighting… we have the hottest stick of dynamite in the world… ladies and gentlemen… Sunny: That’s right all you firecrackers… Sunny has got her two men primed and ready for this season and trust me when I say that there will be nothing in our way to the top and when I win… I mean my men win for me… I am going to show the world why I am so bright! *COMMERCIAL* Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith defeated Billy Plant & Stacey Bernard via the Powerslam! Chris Benoit: You know Chris, the Survivor Series is around the corner… we’ve got Owen and Davey as teammates against The Hart Foundation and Rockers. A true tough test… but in reality… it will just be the beginning of the end for all of them. Chris Jericho: I couldn’t agree more. Canada’s son are going to make the maple leaf proud and once again show why we’re the absolute best to ever do it. Ladies and gentlemen… get ready for the ride of your lives! *COMMERCIAL* Jim Neidhart: I CAN’T WAIT BABY! THIS IS GONNA BE GREAT! THE NEW SEASON UPON US. WE’VE GOT ALL THE TOP TEAMS. WE’RE GONNA REIGN SUPREME BABY! Bret Hart: Calm down Anvil, calm down. We all know that tag team wrestling is our fortee and we have done it better than anyone ever has or ever will. This is going to be our finest hour and the time that we rise to the top. We’re the perfect mix of technical skills, speed, strength, and endurance… but the thing we have more of than any other team is HEART and that’s why we’ll walk away as winners! Dan Spivey & Sid Vicious defeated Mac Herbert via the Double Powerbomb Ross and Heenan put over the big night of action. They pump up RAW next week as we will be live from Seattle and it will be the special draft lottery. Each team will be drawn at random and regulated to a brand. We’ll see just how it shakes out.

Raw 11/15 Vince McMahon: Welcome everyone to MONDAY NIGHT RAW! We are approaching the beginning of the WWF Tag League Season and there have been some huge changes over the last 24 hours… joining me right now… Bobby the Brain Heenan. Brain… I thought you were going to be involved in the tournament? Bobby Heenan: Well listen to me real close McMahon… I had a team… they were ready to come in here and run rough shot… but instead… I saw the dollar signs… instead of spending money on them… I decided to make money… even if it means sitting next to you! Vince McMahon: I find that hard to believe… I thought you were always looking for talent? Bobby Heenan: Who says I am not… listen McMahon… the winner of this tournament is going to be the most prestigious team in wrestling… and perhaps they will be open to the Brain and my managerial services… Vince: What makes you think they’d want you to manage them after they just won the tag league? Heenan: Because I am the brain! Vince: You’re the weasel! Fans we’ve got some great matches lined up for you tonight along with the first look at the Survivor Series coming up next week with all 20 teams involved. Right now let’s head to the ring for our opening contest! The Rockers defeated Dev Stuart & Harris Harrison via the Rocker Double Fist! Matt Hardy: Jeff… this is it brother. We’ve been training all our lives for this chance. All the fighting in the backyards. All the fighting in the gyms. All the training. This is what it is all about! Jeff Hardy: Matt… you and I have seen it all but this is a new endeavor and I can’t wait to challenge the best that the world of wrestling has to offer. We may not be the biggest… but we’ll show we’re the best! *COMMERCIAL* Scott Hall & Kevin Nash defeated Ray Evans & Miller Stubbs via the Jackknife Rick Steiner: You know this season is all about fighting anyone anytime! Well that’s the way we like it. We want to fight… we’re gonna fight everyone! Scott Steiner: Relax Rick… just know this… when the Steiners step in that ring… we’re a family… and nothing is thicker than blood. Well we’re pumping like a big Detroit engine and it is set to go all the way to the top of the WWF and leave nothing but ruins in our past! *COMMERCIAL* Chris Benoit & Chris Jericho defeated Danny Gould & Brendon Wade via the Walls of Jericho! Mike Rotundo: I heard the Steiners out here earlier… I am surprised they can even complete a sentence. Those idiots don’t know a noun from a pronoun let alone a wristwatch from a wrist watch. We hope that we’re in the same league as you because we want to show you what Syracuse and Oklahoma are all about! Steve Williams: I am so sick and tired of hearing about the Steiners and Michigan… this right here is the Varsity Club. This right here is the best team in wrestling. We’re going to break every single team down and show them why the Varsity Club is the best of the best! *COMMERCIAL* Sting & Lex Luger defeated Ken Rogers & Lyle Mann via the Scorpion Deathlock! Mr. Fuji speaking for Warlord & Barbarian: My Powers of Pain have gone to the highest mountains and swam to the deepest parts of the ocean. I have them walking through hot coals and breathing fire. They will be ready for all comers and bring the WWF Titles back to Master Fuji! *COMMERCIAL* Dean Malenko: They say that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I can say without question that Rey Mysterio and I have been through so many battle together against one another that fighting beside him is going to be an honor! Rey Mysterio Jr: Dean… you are my best opponent and you are going to be the best partner. Everyone better be ready for the speed and technical skill we bring… Será mejor que todos se preparen para la pelea de su vida. ¡Vamos a mostrarle al mundo exactamente de qué estamos hechos! Bret Hart & Jim Neidhart defeated Gabe Clegg & Loki Whitley via the Hart Attack! Vince and Bobby continue to put over all the competitors we’ve seen here tonight. They also talk about the Survivor Series and release the card as we see some very interesting pairings. They let us know what we’ll see more preliminary matches from all the teams of Smackdown these week along with Raw next week. Plus next week on Raw… the Draft Lottery will take place and the leagues will be decided for the Season. Who will go to Raw? Who will go to Smackdown? Who will Reign Supreme?!? Survivor Series 11/24 TEAMS OF FOUR SETTLE THE SCORE! Bret Hart & Jim Neidhart & Shawn Michaels & Marty Jannetty Vs Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith & Chris Benoit & Chris Jericho Dan Spivey & Sid Vicious & Road Warriors Hawk & Animal vs Akeem & Big Bossman w/ Slick & Brian Knobbs & Jerry Saggs Rick & Scott Steiner & Sting & Lex Luger Vs Scott Hall & Kevin Nash & Mike Rotundo & Steve Williams Rey Mysterio Jr & Dean Malenko & Matt & Jeff Hardy Vs Edge & Randy Orton & Warlord & Barbarian The Smoking Gunns & Brian Blair & Jim Brunzell vs Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch & Double J & The Road Dogg

I agree with the sentiments about Brodie... I'd also challenge the idea of mixing one or two people who our outside of this era and how they could come in and fit with what is going on. Obviously a ton of possibilities but it would be interesting to see an outside force in this setting.

We ran a 6 year game with these rules... obviously the talent pool is amazing but we capped it at 40 to keep some limits. So many possibilities.

Smackdown 11/12 JR: Welcome everyone to Smackdown and Randy Savage, this is the beginning of something very special. Savage: That’s right Jimbo… you’re talking about the best tag teams in the world… all in one place… all fighting for one prize! You know this is going to be ELECTRIC! JR: That’s right Randy, you’ve been successful with numerous partners. In this season, we’ll see teams that have similar backgrounds maybe but definitely have the experience to go far. Savage: We know the big points… it is all about the victories not just if you win but how! JR: The points will be the biggest key but also, injuries, we can’t discount how this season will take a physical toll on every single competitor and teams… well they have to be together to win. Savage: Everyone knows that in the WWF, injuries happen, but can you survive? Ha… we’ll just see what happens! JR: Fans tonight we’ll see and hear from some of the teams… the same will happen on Raw and then Smackdown next week. Then we’ll have the draft lottery. Savage: We said the points matter… injuries matter… but what division will these teams be in? I don’t think there is a weak team in the bunch… some may have more experience than others… some have been champions… but when it is all said and done… we don’t know who will stand tall. JR: I think we have some favorites… the Hart Foundation… Luger and Sting… The Rockers! Savage: How about the Road Warriors… Rated RKO… the Steiners… JR: That is just the beginning… fans it is time to head to the ring for our first contest! Matt & Jeff Hardy defeated Mike Stone & Rob Shaw via the Swan Dive! Edge: You know Randy, you and I have had such success as singles wrestlers… we’ve come together to take over the world tag titles. Something no one thought could ever be done… the two top singles wrestlers of their eras coming together with one goal in mind. We’ve both been there before… but together… well… we will be unstoppable. Randy Orton: I like where you’re going with that Edge. You see… all the other teams out there are afraid of the potential that you and I possess. But potential is just wishful thinking. What you’re looking at is real… as real as it comes and trust me when I say that we will destroy everything in our path and we will reign supreme as the most elite… most dominant tag team in the history of this sport. *COMMERCIAL* Mike Rotundo & Steve Williams defeated Ryann Mathers & Erick Waldorf via the Oklahoma Slam! Hawk: Well… they said put the best in the world in one place and see who survives… don’t kid yourself boys… you’re looking at the best and we’re going to prove it night in and night out! Animal: Growing up on the streets of Chicago… We fought for every single thing we had. We had to go up against 2...3….4...5 people at a time but we survived. We love to crack some heads and we’re going to roll anyone in our path! *COMMERCIAL* Rick & Scott Steiner defeated Jim Jennings & Tommy White via the Top Rope Bulldog! Lance Cade: I think this whole thing is going to come down to a team that has got the power and the brains. Well right here… this is a team that has everything you need and we will show it this season. Trevor Murdoch: I don’t have much to say… I do my talking in the ring and I am going to make sure everyone knows exactly what we’re here to do! *COMMERCIAL* Warlord & Barbarian defeated Bob McMahon & Ken Wright via the Tag team shoulder block! Sting: WOOO! Lex… this is it brother… we’ve been to the top of the mountain before but this… ha… yeah… this is a whole new endeavor and my man we’re ready! Lex Luger: Being the best is all about the preparation… we have prepared our entire careers for this season… there is money… power… prestige… respect… everything on the line… you can either run or fight… and we don’t run. *COMMERCIAL* Rey Mysterio Jr & Dean Malenko defeated Hank Knight & Danny Burton via the Hurricanrana! We finish up the show with Ross and Savage putting over the whole night of action. They talk about how we’ll hear from WWF Commissioner Roddy Piper on Raw this Monday as Vince and Savage bring us the action. Plus we’ll see the Rockers, the Colossal Connection, Chris Benoit & Chris Jericho plus The Hart Foundation and Sting & Luger in action!

Vince McMahon: Welcome everyone to the beginning of the new season of the WWF! Here in the World Wrestling Federation, we take pride in being the number one company to showcase the absolute best in tag team wrestling. So much so, that this year, we are going to feature our tag teams in a special league format starting on the 29th of November and ending on March 5th at WrestleMania! We will crown the UNDISPUTED World Tag Team Champions on that special night. Over the next week, on Smackdown and Raw, you will see the top 20 teams in professional wrestling in action. Then on Monday the 22nd of November there will be a special draft lottery in which those 20 teams will be split into a Raw Brand and a Smackdown brand. Each brand will have 10 teams. Those 10 teams will compete against one another over the course of 9 weeks. Teams will get points for victories. For instance, any team with a pinfall or submission victory will receive 15 points. A count out or disqualification will be 10. If a team wins via forfeit, they will receive 5 points. No points are given for a draw. No points are given for a loss. At the end of the 9 weeks, we will see who the top team in each brand is, they will receive a first round bye in their elimination bracket. Then the next 5 highest scoring teams will be put into the bracket. Finally, there will be a last chance shot for the 4 lowest teams in which the winner will receive the final spot in the elimination bracket. At the end of the elimination bracket, the finals will be held at WrestleMania with the crowning of the Undisputed WWF Tag Team Champions!

Thanks for all your feedback. I am not sure what the next project will be. I don't know if Kevin will give me a chance to join you guys due to our history. You could always let me come in and run your MACW developmental If that's the case, I will find a way to keep the juices flowing. Stay tuned.

MACW & GCW - Event @ Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina, USA 9/19/1981 GCW vs MACW Final Conflict Best of the Rest Battle Royal MACW: Blackjack Mulligan, Ivan Koloff, Nikolai Volkoff, Mr. Fuji, Baron Von Raschke, Don Kernodle, Bret Hart, Jay Youngblood, Hacksaw Butch Reed, & Hacksaw Jim Duggan GCW: Assassin #1, Assassin #2, Buzz Sawyer, Bobby Eaton, Jim Brunzell, Kevin Sullivan, Matt Borne, Mike Rotundo, Steve O, & Terry Taylor Results: A big opener with teams drawn right down the middle but right from the outset, thing get out of hand with Ivan Koloff and Blackjack Mulligan go right to work on one another and we see Sullivan, Sawyer, & Borne take the chance to toss the two of them. The Hacksaws team up to get the Assassins out and then we see Fuji, Volkoff, & Baron taking out Bobby Eaton while Bret Hart eliminates Don Kerndole putting a caper on that feud. We’re dwindled down and some of the highlights see Brunzell, Rotundo, & Taylor teaming up against the Triangle of Terror and throughout the chaos, Nikolai Volkoff is the only one standing tall. On the other side of the ring, we see the Hacksaws taking out Sullivan and Borne but also going out themselves. We’re down to Bret, Youngblood & Nikolai vs Sawyer & Steve O. Nikolai then turns on Youngblood and starts working him over while Sawyer throws out Steve O and then goes up against Bret. These four throw some nice shots and Bret looks good but he gets backdropped over the top rope and sent to the floor with a nasty bump! Sawyer and Nikolai then team up on Youngblood and throw him out. That gives Bret a chance to get back in and he is fighting off both men. The finish sees Bret go for a running clothesline on Nikolai but he ducks and Bret tackles Sawyer and then go into the ropes while Nikolai comes from behind and tosses both men! Nikolai Volkoff is the winner and MACW goes up 1-0! Tag Titles vs Tag Titles Dick Slater & Jake Roberts vs Bob Orton & JJ Dillon -Another hot one with some juice due to Orton and Dillon turning on Slater plus Roberts is one of the ones who started this whole issue with GCW. These guys go about 12-minutes. Orton does a brunt of the work and he and Slater look good. Roberts is also on top of his game. We see him and Orton battle out to the ring and that gives Slater a chance to get his revenge on Dillon before hitting him with a BRAINBUSTER for the 3-count! Slater & Roberts get the victory and MACW is up 2-0! NWA Six-Man Championship Big John Studd, King Kong Bundy, & Bobby Heenan vs The Freebirds © -Much like the previous match, there is some nice juice here. It is a little odd with both teams kind of getting some heat from the crowd. Studd & Bundy look very strong here. Gordy is the workhorse of the match. Hayes is the one who puts it all over the top. The finish is a nice one because we see Studd and Bundy go toe to toe with Gordy and he is holding his own but then we see Hayes get his hands on Bobby Heenan and hits the DDT for the finish. The Birds retain the six-man titles but there seems to be a little more meat on this bone. The Freebirds retain the six-man titles and get a win for GCW but they trail 1-2! TV title v TV title Unification Match for NWA Television Championship! Tito Santana vs Paul Orndorff -This is an interesting match with both of these titles being taken away with the winner becoming the new NWA World Television Champion. Orndorff and Santana go right up to the 20-minute time limit and leave everything out there in the ring. The finish sees Santana go for the flying forearm but Orndorff ducks and pulls the ropes down and Santana goes out of the ring to the floor! Santana took a nasty bump and now Orndorff goes out and picks up the body of Santana to throw him back in the ring and hits a piledriver for good measure and the 3-count! Paul Orndorff wins the NWA World Television Championship and puts GCW at 2-2! NWA United States Championship Sgt. Slaughter vs Ron Garvin -This one just doesn’t seem to have the juice of the others. Garvin is a viable contender and Slaughter looks good. The previous finish a couple of months ago wasn’t very satisfying and this one is a little more clear cut as Garvin goes for the big right hand but Sarge ducks and then grabs the cobra clutch and Garvin seems to be in a bad way before going down. Garvin tries to fight back and hits the turnbuckle and nails Slaughter who stumbles and Garvin comes back but Sarge hits a nasty ero uppercut and gets a backslide 3 count for the victory! Sgt. Slaughter retains the NWA United States Championship and MACW is up 3-2! MACW Title vs NWA National Ken Patera vs Tommy Rich -Another good one with some meat. These two guys bring everything they’ve got and Heenan oes his best outside the ring to build the heat. He takes some shots at Tommy Rich every chance he gets before Earl Hebner tosses him from ringside. This gives Rich a chance to fight back. He is a Wildfire and throwing some huge bombs. He sets up Patera and goes for the Thesz Press but Patera grabs him and locks in the bearhug! He has Rich locked up. The crowd seems to be behind Tommy Rich here. They are cheering for him and he starts to fight back and a nasty headbutt on Patera breaks the bearhug. Rich hits the ropes for another Thesz Press but Patera ducks and Rich counters into a sunset flip and he’s got Patera off guard for a 3-count! Tommy Rich wins and ties it up at 3-3 for both companies. NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Ric Flair © vs Roddy Piper -We get a little break here in the big event for a huge main event. These guys have go a lot of issue with one another and it boils over early in the match. They start fast and begin battling all over the ringside area. Piper and Flair both get busted open early and this one seems to be getting out of hand. They go back in the ring and slow things down. Flair tries to work the leg while Piper works the neck and the back. Flair makes a big comeback to hammer away at Piper but Roddy goes with a low blow to counter and then he takes control. Piper is looking to finish with a lot of work on the neck and goes for the sleeper hold. He’s got it locked in and then Flair counters with a jawbreaker! Piper is reeling and Flair goes for a small package but Piper kicks out. They get up and Piper swings wild but Flair ducks and Atomic Drop and then he grabs the leg for the figure-four but Piper pulls him into a roll up for a 2-count but Flair pushes over and he’s got Piper locked up for the 3-count! Ric Flair retains the NWA World Heavyweight Championship! FINAL SHOWDOWN MACW: Wahoo McDaniel, Ricky Steamboat, Barry Windham, Greg Valentine, & Harley Race GCW: Ole Anderson, Ted Dibiase, Stan Hansen, Don Muraco , Masked Superstar -A big time main event with a lot on the line. Jim Crockett Jr even comes out and he is at ringside. We get the first two entries and it is Ricky Steamboat and Masked Superstar. They get things going and Steamboat seems to be the fire that MACW needs right now and he is hammering away but Superstar has got some nice power and strength to slow him down. The first five minutes do go fast and we’ve got Tom Miller counting down as we see Ole Anderson come out and it is 2-1. They’re hammering away at Steamboat and beating the hell out of him and working right in front of Crockett! Ole is really letting Crockett have it before Tom Miller runs down the time for our next competitor… -Barry Windham runs out and he is a house of fire throwing some huge bombs at both men. If you remember, this all started with Windham hurting Gene Anderson which led to everything falling apart. He and Ole are going toe to toe and really beating the piss out of one another. Time is running down and here comes Ted Dibiase! He seems like a man on an island but he goes after Steamboat while Ole and Masked Superstar work over Windham and he is busted open like a stuck pig! Windham is a mess right now. Time is running down and here comes Greg Valentine! Valentine comes in and he is throwing bombs at everyone and the crowd even pops when Valentine and Ole start throwing! Barry Windham is still in a very bad way as Ricky Steamboat tries to cover him up before Tom Miller runs down the time… -Stan Hansen comes out and he is a wildman. He hammers away at everyone before we see the first elimination as Barry Windham, a bloody mess, is tossed over the top rope by Ole Anderson! Steamboat and Valentine have their backs against the wall as time runs down for our next competitor… Wahoo McDaniel! Wahoo comes in and evens the odds. He and Stan Hansen are throwing some legit bombs at one another. These guys are showing the world there are no two tougher men in the business. In the end we see them both go over the top as the time runs down. Here comes Don Muraco! Muraco jumps in and he joins Dibiase in beating down Valentine. On the other side of the ring we see a huge dropkick from Steamboat that sends Masked Superstar over the top to the floor! Time is running down… here comes the final man… Harley Race! -We’ve got Steamboat, Race, & Valentine against Dibiase, Muraco, & Ole Anderson. Everyone singles up against one another and it is Harley Race who really looks good. Dibiase makes a huge wave when he tackles Race from behind and tosses him over the top rope to the floor! Race can’t believe it but here comes Steamboat tossing out Dibiase! Muraco and Ole then double up on Valentine and toss him to the floor! Ole and Muraco look excited to get their hands on Steamboat, Mid Atlantic’s final option! He comes with a fire that is unmatched. He’s throwing at both men and leaving everything out there. The crowd is solidly behind him! They are screaming for Steamboat. Ole and Muraco then get the upperhand and double him up and look for the final elimination but when Ole runs at clotheslines Steamboat ducks and Ole clotheslines Muraco out of the ring to the floor! It is Ole and Steamboat. Ole still jumps on and takes the upperhand before Steamboat fires back with some huge chops and then Ole with a huge low blow! Ole then tosses Steamboat out of the ring and Ole thinks he has won it but Steamboat skins the cat. Ole is screaming at Crockett who gets up on the apron. Steamboat climbs to the top rope. Crockett smiles at Ole and tells him to turn around. Ole does so and Steamboat with a high cross body off the top rope and the roll up as TommyYoung makes the 1….2…..3!!!!! MACW HAS WON IT! MACW HAS WON IT! STEAMBOAT PINS OLE ANDERSON! The crowd is going wild! Here comes Wahoo, Youngblood, Tito, Slater, Roberts, The Hacksaws, Bret Hart! The babyfaces come out and even Jim Crockett shakes Steamboat’s hand and raises his arm in the air! Ole holds his head and walks back up the aisle. He is irate and can’t believe it. Steamboat welcomes him back in the ring. Ole walks off as the crowd is going absolutely wild for Steamboat and the Mid Atlantic Crew!

MACW TV Taping - TV-Show @ in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA MACW opens with footage from last week and the attack on Ric Flair along with the gloating by Roddy Piper. We then see the heated promo from Flair. We also see footage from the tag team match in which Ivan Koloff pinned Blackjack Mulligan to earn the final spot in the Final Showdown match tomorrow night. We welcome Jim Crockett Jr. Jim Crockett Jr.; Ladies and gentlemen, last week we saw a special tag team encounter in which the loser of the fall was taken out of the big Showdown match tomorrow night. Upon further review, we saw the use of the chain by Ivan Koloff which led to that victory. Furthermore, the officials here in the Mid Atlantic have decided to remove Mr. Koloff from that match. We are hoping to find a suitable replacement before the end of our broadcast. Additionally, after speaking with representatives of the National Wrestling Alliance and Georgia Championship Wrestling, we’ve come to an agreement that the MACW vs GCW television champion match will now be a unification bout. Mr. Santana and Mr. Orndorff will fight for the right to be the undisputed NWA World’s Television Champion. I’d also like to announce that tomorrow night’s World’s Heavyweight Championship Match will have extra security at ringside due to the nature of this issue between Ric Flair and Roddy Piper. I have spoken to the Greensboro Police Department and extra officials will be ringside. We hope to have a fun night tomorrow night but more importantly, a night that shows the dominance of Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling! Caudle and Crockett put it over as we head to the ring for our opening contest… The Hacksaws defeated Mike Jones & Skip Jackson via the Flying Shoulder Block! A quick promo from Duggan and Reed who say they are back in the Mid Atlantic because they can’t trust Ole Anderson. They may not have a big dog in the fight but they plan on bringing the lumber and proving themselves to all the Mid Atlantic fans! *COMMERCIAL* We’re back with Caudle and Crockett putting over the announcement of Koloff & Mulligan being out of the Final Conflict Showdown and setting up the big match here tonight. Blackjack Mulligan vs Ivan Koloff -Not much of a contest. We get some heavy brawling early before Ivan takes over but Mulligan fights back in a big way before the fight spills outside of the ring. Nothing really great happens other than a brawl that spills all over the ringside area before the referee hits the Double DQ and officials try to break it up! *COMMERCIAL* We’re back with a special taped promo from Ric Flair… Flair: You know for all of my career, I have had the goal of becoming world champion. I beat Harley Race is Kansas City and it was perhaps the greatest night of my career… but the night before… a man who I called my friend turned his back on me and stabbed me right in the back and twisted that knife. A week ago… he attacked me with some thugs and proved he is nothing more than a low down piece of trash. Roddy Piper… you and I have been in the ring before… numerous times… well brother tomorrow night it is different. It is for this title. The World’s Heavyweight Championship. But more than that… I am fighting you to show you why I am the man! I am gonna dog you Piper and I am gonna run you out of Greensboro… run you out of the Mid Atlantic… and run you out of Wrestling once and for all! Bret Hart defeated Tenryu via the Piledriver *COMMERCIAL* We’re back with Caudle and Crockett putting over the arrival of Harley Race a couple of weeks ago. They talk about Jay Youngblood calling him out leading to our big contest here tonight. Jay Youngblood vs Harley Race -A great showcase for Race as he makes Youngblood look pretty good here but let’s the fans know he is in complete control. Race takes some liberties with Youngblood and beats the piss out of him. Youngblood mounts a comeback but Race breaks it off with the big high knee and then sets him up for a brainbuster! Oh my! Race covers for the 3-count. Harley Race walks over to the booth and calls out Jim Crockett Jr… he says that after his ruling on Mulligan and Koloff… he will take that final spot… and when he wins… he will get the next shot at Flair. Crockett has no choice but to agree and shakes his hand. Has Jim Crockett sealed his own fate with this agreement? *COMMERCIAL* Caudle and Crockett put over the huge announcement of Harley Race joining Rick Steamboat, Wahoo McDaniel, Greg Valentine, & Barry Windham in the big Showdown match tomorrow night. They say the rules are as follows. One member of each team starts the match. Every two minutes another member of a team will come out as they alternate until all ten men have entered. Elimination can occur via throw over the top rope, pinfall, or submission. There are no count outs and no disqualifications. They say that if GCW wins… Crockett loses control of the Mid Atlantic to Ole Anderson… while if Mid Atlantic wins… Anderson will be banned from the Mid Atlantic and presumably so will all the members of GCW! Ken Patera, King Kong Bundy, Big John Studd, & Bobby Heenan defeated four jobbers when Heenan made the pinfall! Heenan and his crew come over and put over how they’ll be the next six-man champions and there’s nothing that the Freebirds can do about it. He says they are going to take those Freebird feathers and stuff those turkeys! We then get a promo from Ricky Steamboat, Wahoo McDaniel, & Barry Windham putting over the big Showdown match. Valentine and Race come out and you can tell there’s a lot of tension throughout this team but they said they have to work together or perhaps it could be the last time… Valentine says that… that may be for the best of everyone... *COMMERCIAL* Caudle and Crockett make one more big play for tomorrow night. Greensboro will be rocking and so much will be on the line. They put over the TV Title unification… the champion v champion matches and so much more. Seriously...you can’t miss this show… it may be the last one I write… so pay attention and enjoy! MACW Tag Championship Dick Slater & Jake Roberts vs Sgt. Slaughter & Don Kernodle -A good main event… tag titles are on the line and we don’t get a change but do see some good action. Sarge carries his team while Roberts and Slater have become a decent unit. The finish sees Sarge all but leave Kernodle to the wolves… or snakes if you will… and Roberts grabs Donny for a nasty DDT and gets the cover. The champs look good tonight and have big plans for tomorrow when they take on JJ Dillon and Bob Orton Jr! Take a look at the big card in Greensboro tomorrow night! Full Card for tomorrow night… GCW vs MACW Final Conflict NWA World Heavyweight Championship Ric Flair © vs Roddy Piper Final Showdown - Team battle royal with a new member coming out every 2 minutes!

MACW TV Taping - TV-Show @ in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA We’re here in Raleigh and Caudle and Crockett are joined by none other than Ric Flair to start the night… oh my… Crockett: Ric, it has to feel good to be on the pinnacle… the mountain top… the NWA World’s Heavyweight Champion… Ric Flair: You know something David Crockett… for the last decade, I have put myself through hell and back to become the number one wrestler in the world…. This title right here is the cherry on top that says I am the MAN! Woo! Crockett: We know that there have been a lot of words from guys like Harley Race and Roddy Piper… you’ll meet Piper in two weeks in Greensboro… Ric Flair: Here’s the thing… Piper… you and I had a go at it this summer but we came back together. That was because of Harley Race. That was because of this. Then… you go back to two weeks ago in Greensboro… you stabbed me in the back and you stabbed all the fans in the Mid Atlantic in the back and brother… you crossed the line. Understand this… in two weeks… you are going to get a Ric Flair you’ve never seen before… Now Harley Race… if anyone deserves a shot at this title it is you and pal, you just tell me where and when and I will be there. Crockett: What about the Final Conflict… do you have a dog in the fight? Ric Flair: Well David… I have wrestled here in the Mid Atlantic for quite some time… I have also wrestled in Georgia… I can’t say that I want one company to win over the other… but I can say that I want to see Ole Anderson get his come uppings and I will watch it with a smile on my face! Crockett: Alright fans… we’ve got a huge card… the Mid Atlantic Television Championship is on the line tonight plus we’ve got a big tag team match in which the loser of the fall is out of the Final Conflict team match… right now let’s see the two men who have been named to the team already… Rick Steamboat and the Chief, Wahoo McDaniel! Wahoo McDaniel & Ricky Steamboat defeated Frank Wiliams & Mike Starr via the Flying Crossbody! Wahoo and Ricky walk over and put over the final conflict. They say that all four men in that big tag team match are rough and tough but they want to know who the others will be joining Ole Anderson. They say they will be proud to fight for the honor of Mid Atlantic but they would rather fight alongside Windham and Mulligan than Valentine and Koloff! We’ll find out who joins them later tonight! *COMMERCIAL* MACW is back and we’re joined by the Triangle of Terror with Sheik Adnan. He’s got the Baron, Fuji, and Nikolai all pumped up. They talk about the tv title match tonight and they plan on getting that TV title from Tito and they’re going to make him pay! The Baron & Mr. Fuji defeated Roger Richards & Tim Thomas via the CLAW! We head back over to the booth where we hear there is a commotion in the back… we head back there and we see Ric Flair laid out in the dressing room as Roddy Piper is shown walking away with Ole Anderson and Paul Orndorff! Security rushes back but it appears Flair is hurt! *COMMERCIAL* We’re back with Caudle and Crockett putting over the apparent injury to Ric Flair at the hands of Roddy Piper! They are awaiting news on his condition in the back. They hope to be able to address it with the fans soon. Jay Youngblood defeated Calvin McHugh via the Cross Body! We’re back and here comes Harley Race. He is going after Piper and saying that he didn’t finish the job but Harley will be happy to finish off Ric Flair once and for all! That brings Jay Youngblood over to the booth and he confronts Harley about doing a lot of talking… Harley says that Youngblood couldn’t lace his boots… so Youngblood tells him to lace them up next week for a one on one match! *COMMERCIAL* MACW is back and Caudle and Crockett point out that we will hear about Ric Flair’s condition following our next big match. They put the stakes on the line… the man who is the loser of the fall of the next match is out while the other three will move on and join Rick Steamboat and Wahoo McDaniel in the Final Conflict next week in Greensboro… let’s head to the ring! FINAL CONFLICT SPOT MATCH LOSER OF THE FALL IS OUT OF THE MATCH! Blackjack Mulligan & Barry Windham vs Ivan Koloff & Greg Valentine A huge match with huge stakes on the line. Windham seems to be the one who has the most to gain here. Koloff and Valentine are an odd but fun pairing and work very well together. These guys go about 12-minutes and Koloff and Valentine isolate Windham only for him to make a big comeback and tag in Mulligan who comes in like a house of fire! The crowd is really rocking for this one and Mulligan is letting them all have it. Barry has found a way to get back up and he comes off the top rope with a huge clothesline on Valentine and they go tumbling out of the ring. The referee has lost control but then Ivan...he grabs the Russian chain… Mulligan turns around and CRACK! Koloff throws the chain out and covers him for the 3-count! Koloff, Valentine, and Barry Windham go on while Mulligan won’t be part of the Final Conflict Showdown! *COMMERCIAL* MACW is back and Mulligan and Windham are there. Out comes Wahoo and Steamboat… Valentine and Koloff laugh as they walk off. Mulligan goes on about how Koloff had to cheat to beat him and he challenges him next week to a match. He tells Barry that he is going to have to watch his back with those two as teammates and they will be out for themselves before the rest of you. Barry agrees and Wahoo and Steamboat say they’ll be there to even the odds. Ken Patera, Big John Studd, & King Kong Bundy defeated Rick Carlisle, Sam Stone, & Phil Roberts via the Bear Hug Splash! Heenan comes over and puts over his men for a moment. He talks about challenging the Freebirds for the six-man titles and he says that he will be joining Bundy and Studd as their partner but there won’t be much of a need for him to get involved because the Freebirds will be fried chickens when all is said and done! Then we see Ric Flair come out and Bobby Heenan backs his men off… Flair grabs the microphone… his shirt is ripped… his head is bandaged… Ric Flair: PIPER! You coward! You no good son of a bitch! You want to try me pal… C’MON! I am right here! C’Mon Piper! You yellow coward. All your life you’ve been a punk and can’t be trusted. Well pal… Greensboro… one week from tomorrow… I am going to dog you like no one ever has. I am going to be on you and I am going to run you down like never before. If you can walk when it is all said and done then I won’t be the World’s Champion pal. So Piper… anyone from Georgia… listen to me when I tell you that I am coming for your ass… WOOO! *COMMERCIAL* Big night of action capped by a huge main event. We’ve got Tito Santana defending the TV Title… here comes Nikolai and of course he’s got the Triangle of Terror with him... TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP Tito Santana © vs Nikolai Volkoff w/ Sheik Adnan -A good main event match for the TV title as Santana and Nikolai do some decent work out here. Nikolai uses his power and strength to show off what he brings to the table while Santana can sell like no other. Soon we’ve got the Baron and Fuji out here… they are roughing up Santana on every turn but Tito finds a way to fight back and he fires up before hitting the ropes and then the Flying Forearm! He covers but the Baron and Fuji jump in the ring for the DQ finish… As the Triangle start to beat him down… the crowd is surprised to see Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Hacksaw Butch Reed, decked out in American Flag Shirts… and 2x4s… run out and they chase off the Triangle of Terror. The crowd is hyped for this one. We’ve got one week till the final conflict… who will survive?

GCW Wrestling WTBS Studios - Atlanta, Georgia Tommy Rich vs Terry Gordy went to a double DQ for the National Title Bob Orton & JJ Dillon defended the Tag Titles against Jim Brunzell & Bobby Eaton Mike Rotundo & Terry Taylor defeated The Assassins Ron Garvin defeated Kevin Sullivan via DQ Also on the show… A pre taped promo from Ole Anderson, Don Muraco, & Masked Superstar as they put over the Final Conflict showdown match but they soon find out that Ted Dibiase and Stan Hansen will join them… they don’t seem too happy. We get a pre-taped promo from Roddy Piper who runs down Ric Flair and says that he has yet to receive the beating of his life but it is coming soon. The Freebirds put over their six-man title match against Heenan, Studd, & Bundy and talk about Heenan being a weasel and the weak link! Tommy Rich then finishes off the show putting over the big match with him and Ken Patera. He says that Patera has beat a lot of men but he ain’t never beat the Wildfire and he is coming with everything he’s got and he will leave it all out there when the bell rings!

"Big Cat" Ernie Ladd & The Wild Samoans defeat Junkyard Dog, "Captain Redneck" Dick Murdoch & "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka when Ladd jabbed his taped thumb into Murdoch's throat behind the referee's back allowing the Samoans to hit a double headbutt. That's a huge main event for the loop. I like the superstar face group and it is great because it is a different flavor than the other main event. Mr Wrestling 2 & Mr Olympia vs The Grappler & The Super Destroyer ended in a double DQ when the referee couldn't stop all four men brawling. SD2 ran down for a breif 3-2 advantage before Plowboy Frazier charged the ring. The massive farmboy caused the heels to scatter & the 3 faces stood tall to close the show. We get the Plowboy coming out and he makes his presence known. He definitely tips the scales in the faces favor. I am interested to see the trajectory of Tony Atlas here. He could make some waves but it seems as though Khan is giving him more than he can handle.

MAIN EVENT Tito Satana, Dick Slater, & Tito Santana vs Ken Patera Big John Studd, & King Kong Bundy w/ Bobby Heenan -What a huge main event… all six-men are making a case for being top tier dogs here in Mid Atlantic.

Before too long we see that sinister Sheik Adnan out here… wait a second… Tito hits the ropes and Adnan pulls the rope down before Tito goes flying over the top rope and here comes the Baron, Fuji, and Nikolai to beat him down something awful! Oh my! The referee calls for the bell! Inside the ring, Patera Bundy, and Studd are working over the tag team champs… outside the Triangle of Terror is working over Santana…. Wait a second… here comes Wahoo, Steamboat, and Youngblood to even up the odds! Wahoo heads into the ring and he and Patera are going toe to toe and the crowd is going wild! Steamboat & Youngblood are holding their own against the Triangle as Slater, Roberts, and Tito get up to even things up and the heels back off. What a finish...Caudle and Crockett put over how we’ve got the issue with GCW looming… we’ve got Piper saying he’ll be here… Race says he’ll be here… we know Flair will be here… fans it is going to be can’t miss next week!

I was excited to see I picked that tourney to a T... not to say it was predictable but the right guy won and now Flair and the JYD are on a collision course! Bob Roop w/Sir Oliver Humperdink defeats "Gorgeous" Jimmy Garvin(c) by C.O when Roop hit a back suplex during a fight on the floor & Garvin couldn't answer the 10 count. After the result was announced Roop & Humperdink posed with the title before returning to the referee. So in going back, Jim Garvin had a good run here in the Mid South... he's doing okay with you now... but he's messing with the wrong dudes and Bob Roop has got a reputation that isn't very good. Mr Wrestling 2(c) defeats The Grappler by DQ when the Super Destroyers ran down & attacked MW2. The 3-1 assault was broken up by a baseball bat swinging Mr Olympia. Together the masked faces clear the ring and stand tall to send the crowd home happy. Okay... so we've got a lot of masks here... I say you bring in Dusty under a hood as Midnight Ryder or JYD as Stagger Lee and let's see a six-man loser of the fall has to unmask! Love the detail youre putting into this. Keep it up!

We can confirm... Monday 8/30 - NWA Live Event from Kansas City, Missouri Ric Flair defeated Harley Race to become the NEW NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!

Sheik Adnan Al-Kaissie is coming to Mid Atlantic

NWA World Champion to Mid Atlantic on 9/11 & 9/18

MACW - Event @ Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina, USA 8/29/1981 GCW vs MACW Battle Brawl Blackjack Mulligan & Barry Windham vs Buzz Sawyer & Kevin Sullivan -A pretty fun Brawl with all four men throwing it out there. We get some juice with Sawyer and Mulligan but it is Windham who hits a Bulldog on Sullivan out of nowhere for the 3-count. UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP Sgt. Slaughter © vs Ron Garvin -Slaughter and Garvin throw some serious blows here. They hammer away at one another with huge shots all over the ring and ringside area. The finish sees Don Kernodle get involved only for Bret Hart to come out and pull him down but this is a distraction for Garvin who gets hit with a low blow and 3-count by Slaughter. SIX-MAN CHAMPIONSHIP Wahoo, Youngblood, & Steamboat vs The Freebirds -The Freebirds retained the titles in a very hot six-man. The Birds have got some real heat here and they work the fans. Wahoo and Gordy really put on a show. The finish sees Michael Hayes hit a DDT on Youngblood out of nowhere for the victory. SPECIAL CHALLENGE Ken Patera & Tito Santana vs Tommy Rich & Paul Orndorff -An odd contest for all intents and purposes. Both teams have communication issues and fight among one another before going at the others. The Rich and Santana/Orndorff and Patera encounters are fun but nothing super special. This one goes to a double DQ as it turns into a face vs heels match with Rich and Santana hitting double drop kicks on both guys sending them out of the ring. NWA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP Tully & Gino © vs Stan Hansen & Ted Dibiase -These four guys leave it all out in the ring. It is a 30-minute contest with a lot tags and some really great action. The finish is kind of messy with JJ Dillon getting involved and pulling Hansen from the ring while Gino and Tully double up on Dibiase with a nasty Spike Piledriver for the 3-count! Ric Flair, Roddy Piper, Dick Slater, & Jake Roberts vs Ole Anderson, Bob Orton, Masked Superstar, & Don Muraco -They go 30-minutes and it is hard hitting from bell to bell. Early on in the contest, Piper is thrown into the ringpost and looks to have injured his shoulder again. With the 4 on 3 is it GCW who controls the contest but soon it is the Nature Boy Show and my golly he’s over with the fans. He is coming with some serious shots and turns the tide. Don Muraco looks especially good. Jake Roberts plays the face in peril and he has the crowd in the palm of his hand and then the crowd explodes when Flair comes in and he is hammering away. The GCW crew looks to get control again but then here comes Roddy Piper out again and Oh My! This is pure excitement right now with everyone throwing bombs and Piper gets into the ring… and he NAILS FLAIR! OMG! Piper is on top of Flair and he’s hammering away at him. This is crazy. The GCW crew then jumps all over Slater and Roberts! The referee is calling for the bell as all hell is breaking loose. The fans are rabid right now as Orton and Muraco hold up Flair and Piper is smacking him in the face and then pounding away at his head. He’s busted wide open. Then we hear a huge pop when here comes Mulligan, Windham, Tito, and Wahoo out to even the odds. The battle continues but then here comes The Freebirds, Orndorff, Sullivan, & Sawyer. Not to be outdone...Youngblood, and Ricky Steamboat come out. It is Steamboat who really shines and cleans some house as GCW leaves the ring. Piper then gets to his feet and jumps out of the ring and goes right for them all. The fans are just going nuts! The brawl continues in the aisleway!

Good tournament to decide the challenger... my picks are... The Grappler vs Plowboy Frazier The Super Destroyer vs "Captain Redneck" Dick Murdoch "Big Cat" Ernie Ladd vs Junkyard Dog Bob Roop w/Sir Oliver Humperdink vs "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka The Grappler vs "Captain Redneck" Dick Murdoch Bob Roop w/Sir Oliver Humperdink vs Junkyard Dog Junkyard Dog over the Grappler. I like the Main Event with Grappler and Snuka too... two big stars for the Territory and they are justifiable big picks for the tournament.
