MACW TV Taping - TV-Show @ in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA MACW opens with Sandy Scott from the NWA here as a representative. He is standing with Caudle, Crockett, & Jim Crockett Jr. He has a very serious look on his face as he reads the following statement. From the Board of the National Wrestling Alliance - Due to the recent altercations between wrestlers of Georgia Championship Wrestling and Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling, the National Wrestling Alliance has chosen to step in and try to help the situation. Sandy Scott is being appointed as an authority on both promotions in order to help cease issues and further confrontations. All future bouts will be sanctioned by one promotion or another but the goal will be to settle this issue quickly. Individuals like Ole Anderson will be prohibited from showing up on Mid Atlantic television for the foreseeable future unless accompanied by Mr. Sandy Scott. If there is any violation of these institutions; those involved would be fined and suspended from competing in the National Wrestling Alliance for no more than 30-days. Just a moment… here comes Ole Anderson and the crowd is stirring. Ole gets face to face with Jim Crockett Jr…. Ole: Crockett… listen to me… you may have pulled these strings with Sandy Scott but understand this… I am not taking this lightly. Last week… that buffoon Big John Studd made his biggest mistake by joining Bobby Heenan. Well you guys can have him because I guarantee that tonight… I am bringing someone from Mid Atlantic back to Georgia with me… to even the odds! Jim Crockett: Listen Ole… I don’t know what the end game is here… Ole: I will tell you what the end game is… an event in which the best of Georgia take on the best of Mid Atlantic… FOR YOUR JOB! Jim Crockett: I do appreciate that offer… but Ole… we’re not in the business of these battles. We’re doing just fine without this continuing… Ole: Just as I thought… too chicken to accept the challenge… well know this… tonight… someone is coming back to Georgia with me and we’re gonna stick it down your throat! Bret Hart defeated Bobby Fredricks via the Piledriver! *COMMERCIAL* MACW is back… Caudle and Crockett are putting over the announcement of Sandy Scott from earlier in the broadcast… they’re also questioning what Ole Anderson meant by trying to steal someone from Mid Atlantic. They question his motive and wonder what Jim Crockett will do to accept or decline that challenge he set out. They put over a huge night of action including an NWA Six-Man Championship match tonight… previews of the Mid Atlantic tag team tournament tomorrow night in Charlotte… and much more. Right now let’s head to the ring. Sgt. Slaughter & Don Kernodle defeated Bryan Fyre & Timmy Smith Sgt. Slaughter and Kernodle come over and they are just tearing into Roddy Piper along with Rocky Johnson and Bret Hart who they face tomorrow night in Charlotte. We then get some fireworks when Piper comes out and the crowd erupts. Sarge hides behind Kernodle as we see Bret Hart come out and pull Piper back. Piper puts the belt on the podium and Sarge backs off... *COMMERCIAL* We’re back on MACW with Piper who is going nuts calling out Slaughter. He says he will be here next week to face him one on one and he’ll put the title on the line! He says that he is putting the challenge out and he wants to show him why he’s the baddest dude on the block! Greg Valentine defeated Freddie Clarke via the Figure Four Leglock Jake Roberts comes out to cut a promo on Ole Anderson. He lets him know that they are far, far from over. He wants to challenge him anytime, anywhere. He says he will show up in Georgia and he isn’t afraid of a fine… he isn’t afraid of a suspension… and he isn’t afraid of Ole Anderson! *COMMERCIAL* MACW is back with Ric Flair. He comes out to say that he respects the decision of the National Wrestling Alliance but he wants this thing to be done with GCW. He says that he is putting his name in the hat as the prime challenger… the leader of MACW… he wants Crockett to accept the challenge and he will lead the men. Flair then says that he has got a date… in Kansas City… Harley Race… he plans to get a chance… perhaps the final chance for the title. Barry Windham & Blackjack Mulligan defeated Robert & Carl Kent via the CLAW! Television champion Tito Santana is here to welcome any and all comers. He says that Greg Valentine does have a right to challenge for the title and he plans on taking him on whenever he wants. He isn’t worried about the 20-minute time limit because he knows he can’t be beat… and he definitely won’t be beat in that time limit! *COMMERCIAL* Ivan Koloff & Nikolai Volkoff are out here working the fans into a frenzy. They’ve lost a little bit of steam over the last couple of weeks but admit that it will all come back tomorrow night when they win the MACW tag titles and take them back to Russia! Ken Patera & Big John Studd w/ Bobby Heenan defeated Tim Wright & Paul Banks Heenan then leads his men over to the podium and squashes the rumors about Bundy and says he couldn’t hack it in the family and sent him off the greener pastures but with Studd and Patera… the sky's the limit. He says that they will soon exert their dominance over the NWA together. *COMMERCIAL* We’re back with a huge main event. Six-man tag titles on the line. We’ve got a lot of star power and stakes on the line… let’s go to the ring! MAIN EVENT NWA SIX-MAN CHAMPIONSHIP Wahoo, Steamboat, & Youngblood vs JJ Dillon, Dick Slater, & Bob Orton Jr. -It doesn’t get much bigger than this. JJ Dillon is back in action after being out for some time. He is definitely the weak link but Orton and Slater are a formidable duo. Steamboat, Youngblood, & Wahoo look to be firing on all cylinders though. A big moment happens when we see Dick Slater holding Jay Youngblood and JJ Dillon reaches down in his tights and comes up with a huge shot but Youngblood ducks out of the way and JJ nails Slater! Slater is down for the count and Steamboat out of nowhere with a cross body on JJ Dillon for the 1...2...3! This is where it gets a little more interesting… Wahoo, Steamboat, & Youngblood leave with the titles… the fans pop for them… but in the ring… well… Dick Slater gets up and he’s getting a mouthful from JJ Dillon and Slater doesn’t seem too pleased. Then we see Orton cock back that left hand but Slater turns around… wait a minute… Ole Anderson out of the crowd… he jumps in the ring and attacks Slater! JJ & Orton jump on Slater as well! Oh my it is a 3 on 1 beatdown here and the crowd is going nuts. Here comes Jake Roberts, Wahoo, & Steamboat as Ole, Orton, & JJ jump out of the ring! Caudle and Crockett put this over… is this what Ole meant? Who will walk away with the tag titles tomorrow night?!?!

"Big Cat" Ernie Ladd & The Wild Samoans (Afa & Sika) defeat Mid-South Louisiana Champion Jimmy Garvin,Junkyard Dog & "Timekeeper" Mike George with a double headbutt to George by the Samoans. Ladd lead the Samoans to attack Garvin after the bell before eventually being run off by JYD swinging his chain. - This is a fun main event and the feud that will always be a top draw with Ladd and the Samons taking on the babyface. Mr Wrestling 2,Mr Olympia & "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka defeat Mid-South North American Champion The Grappler & The Super Destroyers when MW2 pinned one of the Super Ds with the Knee Lift.

The shot missed and the faces were eventually able to clear the ring to send the crowd home happy. - I also saw a lot of money in Wrestling II taking on the masked men. There is so much that can be done with the masks on the line along with other titles. A great start to Mid South... you've got the feuds and the talent to put it all together. Great stuff!

Let's put a hold on free agency - We've got someone coming in to take over Memphis.

Terry Funk has agreed to become a freelance worker again and is going to be open for bookings. Dory Funk Jr will go into free agency.

A lot of chatter going around in regards to the Georgia championship wrestling and Mid-Atlantic championship wrestling feud. There are some who thought that Jim Crockett was going to buy Georgia championship wrestling in a merger with Ted Turner in order to put what would many consider a big time regional promotion on Nationwide television. Ric Flair would be the centerpiece of the promotion but many within the NWA would veto the move and continue to look at Flair as a future star and someone to groom for the NWA world title. This feud looks to go through the summer with a couple of big cards coming around memorial day. Some even believe it will go out through to the big Crockett Thanksgiving show but no word yet. We'll see if talent is traded between the groups still... Big names like Ole Anderson, Masked superstar, tommy rich, Ted DiBiase, and Stan Hansen could put mid Atlantic to the next level but could hurt Georgia in a big way unless both promotions merge and then someone will be left in the cold...

Noni meant Hernandez as a sheik lol

Caudle and Crockett try to get some words in but he grabs the microphone… Ken Patera: I want to make one thing clear right now… I am sick and tired of the disrespect I have received by Jim Crockett and Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling. To that extent… I have secured the managerial services of someone who will take my career to the next level. You see I have been the Mid Atlantic Champion for months now and I have yet to receive my shot at the NWA World Champion… this man is going to secure that shot for me along with making sure that everyone respects me and this title and my importance to this promotion. I’d like to introduce to you… Bobby Heenan! BOBBY Bobby: That’s right Ken… you see I have been watching Mid Atlantic for a while now and I can say without question that the disrespect you’ve received makes me sick to my stomach… to the point that I am saying it right now… Jim Crockett you may have this war with Georgia on your mind but it is the war within the Mid Atlantic that you have to be ready for. Mark my words… I am going to put together a true army and we’re going to take control and you won’t be able to pry it from my hands. Don Kernodle w/ Sgt. Slaughter defeated Erick Wright via the Cobra Clutch Slam! Sgt. Slaughter and Don Kernodle are all smiles as they talk about the tag title tournament along with Sgt. Slaughter saying that he will be the next United States Champion. He plans to keep challenging Roddy Piper and wearing him down to the point that he won’t even want to show his face in the Mid Atlantic! *COMMERCIAL* MACW is back with Caudle and Crockett putting over the Tag Title tournament as they release the bracket... Ricky Steamboat & Jake Roberts vs Dick Slater & Bob Orton Wahoo & Jay Youngblood vs The Assassins Rocky Johnson & Bret Hart vs Sgt. Slaughter and Kernodle Barry Windham & Blackjack Mulligan vs Ivan Koloff & Nikolai Volkoff Bret Hart w/ Rocky Johnson defeated Bobby Thomas via the Piledriver! Roddy Piper then comes out with the US title. He puts it on the podium again and tells Sgt. Slaughter to come out here and take it from him. He says he isn’t hiding from a challenge. When he was a kid his father told him one thing before he abandoned him… he said don’t start a fight but don’t run away from one… well to hell with that… I am starting it and I don’t plan on running pal! Come and find me, you don’t have to look too hard! *COMMERCIAL* MACW is back with Caudle and Crockett building up to the huge main event six-man tag… we’ll see MACW v GCW here in just a couple of moments… right now we’ve got the former MACW tag team champions in action. Fuji & Tenryu defeated Bobby Collins & Joe Kane via the Karate Kick! We then see Ric Flair walk out and the crowd pops… Flair has a really serious tone here… Ric Flair: I stand here today… not a champion with a belt but the champion of the people! Wherever I go, people ask me when I am going to get my hands on a title and I tell them that the true measure of a champion isn’t the belt around his waist but the size of the heart in his chest. Well this is a call out to Ken Patera… this is a call out to Harley Race… you got what I want and I am coming to get it… but first…. First… I am going to to put the Mid Atlantic on my back and I am going to carry them in this battle with Georgia Championship Wrestling and Ole Anderson specifically! Ole… you’ve got a lot of history with me and I have got it with you. I have respected you for a long time but this is the time when you need to put up or shut up and get the hell out of here! I am going to be watching this six-man and don’t think for a second I won’t get involved it there’s an issue… WOO! *COMMERCIAL* Big time feel when we come back… Caudle and Crockett put this over in a huge way… we’ve got MACW v GCW right here on free tv… it is a rematch from July the 4th… here we go! MACW vs GCW Jake Roberts, Blackjack Mulligan, & Barry Windham vs Ole Anderson, Big Daddy Bundy, & Big John Studd -Caudle and Crockett continue to put it through the roof… Ole, Bundy, and Studd have got some serious heat. This one has some time and we get all six-men involved. Ole is by far the most over in terms of fan reaction here. Ole and Jake Roberts then get into a situation that ignites the crowd and they come unglued! There is definitely something there with these two. We get Mulligan and Studd who go eye to eye and that is quite the attraction. The big moments start with Barry Windham getting destroyed by Bundy and Studd and he is selling like no other. The finish… well… it is interesting. We see Ole in the ring with Barry who makes a hot tag to Jake Roberts and here we comes with some huge rights and lefts and he has Ole rocking and rolling. The action is fast and furious but Jake and Ole then crack heads and go down. Jake is making his way to the corner and Blackjack is ready… but when Ole gets over to Studd… he and Bundy drop down… wait a second… That’s Bobby Heenan! Heenan shakes hands with Bundy and Studd. Ole is trying to figure out what is going on but when he turns around Mulligan is there with some huge rights and lefts and then he tosses him back to Jake Roberts who grabs Ole for a DDT! 1….2….3! MACW has won it. What an interesting turn of events… Ole is laid out in the middle of the ring. Studd and Bundy are gone with Heenan. Mulligan, Windham, and Roberts celebrate. What does this mean for the war between GCW and MACW?

I told you already but I am very excited for what you've got going. It is going to be fun to see how this group builds. You've got some good skills and I like the way things are put together. I was hoping to see Sheik Hernandez though

I loved running that little version of Mid South... I was actually going to introduce the Oklahoma championship and then join all three for a tri-state title at one point before everything went different. I think this is going to be a fun little group you've put together and no doubt there's a lot of talent and potential to work with.

I'd say the cap is 40. You can use 3 managers. They don't count against the cap. With all of us working together it doesn't need to be a stead fast rule but more of a guideline to follow.

Georgia is going to sign Ron Garvin MACW is going to sign Mr. Fuji & Tenryu

MACW TV Taping - TV-Show @ in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA MACW Opens with some footage from the July 4th show and the big highlights of Gino and Tully winning the NWA world tag titles, Steamboat, Wahoo, & Youngblood winning the six-man titles, and then Harley Race retaining the NWA World Title against Roddy Piper. We cut to the studio and here is Jim Crockett Jr and he has got the Mid Atlantic Tag Team Championships with him… Crockett Jr: Welcome everyone to Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling… I have a couple of announcements to make here this evening. The first being that the success of the July 4th show in Greensboro has really put Mid Atlantic on the map in the realm of professional wrestling and Mid Atlantic will continue to put together these huge shows for our fans all over the territory. Secondly, I want to talk about these tag team titles. Due to the commitments of the NWA World Tag Team Champions… Gino and Tully had to vacate these titles and they will be held up in a one night tournament in two weeks in Charlotte. We’ll have eight teams all taking place and I am excited to see a couple of those teams here tonight and next week plus a couple of new teams debuting here in Mid Atlantic. I’d also like to talk about something that happened last night… Kabuki, while defending the Television Championship blew the Green Myst in Ricky Steamboat’s eyes… he was scheduled to have a television championship match here tonight and I have agreed to bring in a special replacement… he will be here tonight to take on Kabuki and the TITLE WILL BE ON THE LINE! Lastly, I want to address this issue with Georgia Championship Wrestling. Last week, Jake Roberts, Barry Windham, and Blackjack Mulligan did lose to Ole Anderson and his men… but one battle does not decide the fate of a war. I am here tonight to open up a challenge to Ole Anderson and his men for a rematch next week… right here on Mid Atlantic… a six-man tag team match… Ole… bring the best you’ve got! Bret Hart & Rocky Johnson defeated Tim Smitts & Bob Blake via the Boston Crab! Greg Valentine then comes out and he is on fire! He is irate that the television championship is on the line and he isn’t going for it! He is screaming at Crockett and says whomever steps in there tonight better watch their back! *COMMERCIAL* MACW is back as Caudle and Crockett are putting over the announcements from Jim Crockett. They wonder who will be the one to challenge Kabuki later on this evening. We then see Sgt. Slaughter & Cpl. Don Kernodle! Slaughter let’s everyone know he’s come to Mid Mid-Atlantic to show his true colors… but more importantly to get gold. He and Kernodle will be in the tag tournament but he has got his eyes on Roddy Piper and the US Title… He says Piper is on borrowed time… but soon he and Kernodle will hold the treasure and be on top of the mountain! Wahoo & Jay Youngblood defeated Mike Hammer & Henry Smith via the High Cross Body! Wahoo and Younblood then put over their six-man title win but also talk about Rick Steamboat being hurt by Kabuki. They talk about him being in the back with someone and it will change the scope of things here in Mid Atlantic! *COMMERCIAL* MACW is back and here comes the Nature Boy Ric Flair! Flair puts over his win against Dick Slater last week and says that it is only the beginning… he and Orton have got a target on their back and soon he is going to hit the bullseye… but more importantly… he is letting everyone know that he is stepping up to be the leader of Mid Atlantic to take on Georgia Championship Wrestling. He lets Ole Anderson know that he will go all the way to Atlanta to whoop his ass and there is no one who can stop him! The Assassins defeated Willy Jones & Danny Dukes via the double shoulder block! Ken Patera is here with the Mid Atlantic Championship. He says that Andre the Giant is in the rearview mirror… now he has got his eyes on bigger and better things. Harley Race… the NWA Title is on Ken Patera’s mind and he has got big things to make it happen... *COMMERCIAL* Mid Atlantic is back with Caudle and Crockett putting over the big announcement from Ric Flair that he will help lead MACW against Georgia. They wonder just what will happen next week when Ole Anderson shows up here for a six-man rematch! Jake Roberts defeated Vince Skiles via the DDT! Barry Windham & Blackjack walk over to the booth and put over the six-man next week. Jake Roberts joins them and they want to have the fight right here tonight… they have no problem waiting till next week and they know that this time it will go their way! *COMMERCIAL* MACW is back with Roddy Piper standing by with the US title. He puts over how he has been champion for a long time and he’s defended against a lot of different people. He says that Sgt. Slaughter is calling him out… he isn’t afraid of that… he welcomes the challenge and he’ll do whatever it takes to show why he is the true US Champ! Ivan Koloff & Nikolai Volkoff defeated Ryan Reed & Mike Gregory via the Russian Sickle! *COMMERCIAL* We’re back and we see Ricky Steamboat come out in street clothes as Gary Hart brings out Kabuki and the tv title. They are running Steamboat down but he says that he isn’t able to go tonight and that upsets him and the fans… but in his place… a good friend of his… a man who these people may know but Gary Hart wasn’t ready for… TITO SANTANA! MID ATLANTIC TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP Tito Santana vs Kabuki © w/ Gary Hart -Tito Santana with a huge debut here in Mid Atlantic and the crowd is pretty shocked. They may know this guy as Richard Blood from late in 1979 but now he’s back, new name, and a solid pat on the back from Ricky Steamboat. Tito and Kabuki go quick and have an action packed 9-minutes. Kabuki is able to get the upperhand and tries to wear him down but Tito is able to build back up in a huge way. We see a slight referee bump which causes Gary Hart to grab Tito on the apron and here comes Kabuki with the MYST but Tito ducks and the GREEN is all over Gary Hart and his suit! Tito hits the ropes and then comes back with a flying forearm on Kabuki and hits it for the 1….2….3!!! WE’VE GOT A NEW TV CHAMPION! Tito Santana is working the crowd as he and Steamboat celebrate! Gary Hart and Kabuki retreat into the darkness and then we see Greg Valentine in the entryway and he’s pissed!

Made the changes with new tag team champions... also the six-man champs, Wahoo, Youngblood, & Steamboat will be homebased with me in MACW but will be open for bookings for those interested.

Title changes! July 4th, 1981 - Gino Hernandez & Tully Blanchard won the NWA World Tag Team Championship! Ricky Steamboat, Jay Youngblood, & Wahoo McDaniel were crowned NWA World Six-Man Champions!

MACW - Event @ Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina, USA - July 4, 1981 This is a big time house show. Tom Miller is announcing the candidates. We have television cameras there to get some of the action on tape. Bret Hart vs Greg Valentine -Greg Valentine won the contest at the 14-minute mark of a grueling back and forth. Hart really showed some courage after Valentine wore his knee down something awful. David Von Erich vs Bob Orton Jr. w/ JJ Dillon -A throwaway match for all intents and purposes. Orton and Von Erich have got some good fire and JJ Dillon is making his presence known. In the end, Orton defeated Von Erich when Dillon distracted David and Orton got a roll up with a handful of tights! NWA SIX-MAN CHAMPIONSHIP Ricky Steamboat, Jay Youngblood, & Wahoo McDaniel vs Gino Hernandez, Tully Blanchard, & Kabuki -First title match of the evening went about 18-minutes. Gino, Tully, and Kabuki seemed to have things under control but the momentum of Steamboat, Youngblood, and Wahoo really shone. Kabuki tried to go for the Myst on Youngblood but after he got him, he turned around and Steamboat came flying off the top rope with a high cross body for the 3-count! Steamboat, Youngblood, and Wahoo won the six-man tag titles and will defend them throughout the NWA! Ric Flair vs Dick Slater w/ JJ Dillon -This one has got some juice to it following the events of the last couple of weeks. Slater and Flair go about 22-minutes and they are beating the living hell out of one another. Flair gets busted open from the guardrail outside the ring but finds a way to fight back. Slater looks to finish with the brainbuster but Flair goes over his back and then hits a backslide for the 3-count! Slater isn’t done though as he attacks him and here comes Orton! They are putting the boots to Flair until the officials come out and break it up. Special Attraction Bullrope vs Russian Chain Dusty Rhodes vs Ivan Koloff -An interesting one to say the least. These guys go about 15-minutes. It is a bloodbath. Ropes uses the rope while Koloff has the chain and then they use the other ends on the opponents. It is a pretty typical Dusty match with him getting beaten down and then building back up for the victory. Koloff continues to look strong here even with Dusty knocking his knees out from underneath him. NWA WORLD TAG vs MACW TAG The Von Erichs © vs Tully & Gino © -Titles for titles here and the crowd is solidly behind Kevin and Kerry. Interestingly enough, Gary Hart isn’t out here for this one. Gino and Tully are still a little worn down but they have got all the underhanded tricks to keep them going. Kerry and Kevin have got all the fans behind them. All four men get going and we’ve got some juice from Kerry. In the end, we see the double teaming of Tully and Gino rise up and they isolate Kevin. Kerry looks to have made a big tag but Earl Hebner stops him… this gives Gino and Tully a chance for the SPIKE PILEDRIVER! Gino covers while Tully attacks Kerry for the 1...2...3! WE HAVE NEW NWA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! MACW CHAMPIONSHIP Andre the Giant vs Ken Patera © -A huge semi-main event with a lot of implications on the line. Andre comes out to an enormous ovation from the fans. Ken Patera looks to be in a foul mood. These two only go about 12-minutes and it is a stiff contest. It looks like neither man is willing to sell for the other. In the end we see Patera trying to get a bearhug on Andre but he just can’t do it. Patera goes for a slam but Andre falls on him for a very close 2-count. Patera gets back up and we see Andre come for a clothesline and Patera ducks and hoists him over the top rope to the floor! Tommy Young doesn’t call for the DQ but after Andre gets up and pulls Patera out.. They battle all over the ringside area. They hammer off the pillars and posts of the ringside area. Young makes the count to 10 and it is a double count out. We get all kinds of officials out here but nothing can stop these guys from fighting all the way to the back. NWA WORLD TITLE Roddy Piper vs Harley Race © -Main event time… Tom Miller throws out the intros and here we go. Piper and Race fight a different style than Flair and Race. These guys go 27-minutes.
