They beat the piss out of one another but the story is Bret… who is still hurt… but battling through We are nearing the 20-minute mark and it looks like the Road Warriors are going to finish. They hoist up Bret for the Doomsday… but the Anvil runs over and knocks Hawk off the ropes into the guardrail Bret somehow roles down and through for a huge 3-count out of nowhere! The Harts get 15-more points and are firmly in the lead! Smackdown 1/14 Some interesting news… the Road Dogg has broken his collarbone… due to that… Double J and the Road Dogg are out of the tournament and we will have a new team… Earthquake and Typhoon… the Natural Disasters!

The Smoking Gunns vs Eddie Guerrero (sub for Rey Jr) & Dean Malenko Eddie comes out to a nice pop and he and Malenko are on point Eddie and Dean have got it together. The finish is a frog splash and the 3 count! 15 points for Eddie and Dean! The Steiner Brothers vs Sting & Lex Luger Another HUGE contest. These four men once again… leave everything They go almost 20-minutes and we get a little chicanery at the end We hear that RKO is in the lead and they make their way down They serve distraction for both teams but Rick and Sting go over and they start the brawl in the entryway. Luger then turns around and Scott with some huge shots… tosses him to the ropes… FRANKENSTEINER! 3-count for the Steiners… 15 points for the Steiners!

Week 6 Raw 1/3 The Hart Foundation vs The Hardy Boys The Harts continue to look strong Matt and Jeff try to get things going but Bret and Jim just have too much going their way The Hart Attack on Matt spells the end for the 3-count and 15 more points! The Killer Bees vs Chris Benoit & Chris Jericho Benoit and Jericho continue to turn things around and have a nice battle with the Bees Blair and Brunzell look like they may finally get on the board but Benoit and Jericho are about to counter and even break the rules to get ahead. The Lionsault is the finishing touch and 15-points for Benoit and Jericho! The Twin Towers vs The Nasty Boys A fun mix of characters here. A lot of hard hits and brawling Slick is getting involved outside the ring and keeps the Towers in the advantage. Bossman hits a Bossman slam out of nowhere for the 3-count and the Towers are slowly getting back into the hunt! The Road Warriors vs Cade & Murdoch The Road Warriors are out for blood tonight They beat the shit out of Cade and Murdoch Doomsday device and that’s all she wrote. 15 more points for the Road Warriors The Skyscrapers vs Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith Big time main event Two of the top teams These guys put it all out there Sid is gassed halfway through the contest It looks like they’re going for a time limit but Sid just can’t seem to get there The finish sees all four men outside the ring brawling. The referee is counting Owen hits a low blow on Spivey and sneaks back in the ring for the count out finish! 10 points for Owen and Davey! Smackdown 1/7 Double J & The Road Dogg vs Sting & Lex Luger Sting and Luger are firing on all cylinders. We see a nasty moment where Road Dogg takes a bump out of the ring and lands in a bad way. His arm doesn’t land well. It looks like there’s some confusion… We see a Stinger Splash and roll up on Double J for 15-more points for Sting and Luger Rated RKO vs The Powers of Pain Orton and Edge continue to show why they have got to be reckoned with. The POP just can’t seem to get things going. An RKO out of nowhere on Warlord… RKO get another 15-points The Varsity Club vs Rey Mysterio Jr & Dean Malenko A good contest here. Mysterio and Malenko cannot seem to get along They are arguing on the corner. This leads to Malenko nailing Mysterio with a right hand Mysterio is then at the mercy of Williams and Rotundo who finish him off with the Oklahoma Slam and the 3-count! The Rockers vs The Smoking Gunns The Rockers and Guns throw it all out there These guys go 15-minutes at a breakneck pace! The finish sees a huge double dropkick on Bart for the 3-count and 15-points for the Rockers! The Steiner Brothers vs Scott Hall & Kevin Nash A huge main event Both of these teams are right in the running All four men throw some good shots out there but the Steiners continue to look strong Hall and Nash are going low on every chance A huge powerslam on Hall looks to spell the end Nash then runs over and tosses the referee out of the ring! We get a DQ win for the Steiners. 10 points!

I've said it before but damn you've come a long way from the guy who told me he wasn't sure if he could do this. AWA is at the top of the mountain in many ways with Tommy Rich leading the charge. I love the mix of talent you've got... something that will definitely put the AWA in the limelight.

I really appreciate the work you've done with the NWA. It is awesome to see how you're presenting the house shows and such. The other thing I like here is your spotlighting of the up and coming talent. You've got the big names but also some really fun personalities about to climb the ranks!

Rain, you've always had a lot of skill writing and this promotion is evident of just that. The Hall and McGee team intrigues me. Scott Hall is one of those guys who at this time in his career just couldn't find the right thing but he had all the talent in the world.Looks like you're putting him right where he belongs. Also, Barry Windham as the top guy, without question he is in his prime here in 87 and could carry a promotion. I am happy to see him doing so here.

I will start by saying that I am going to need to look up a lot of these lady wrestlers. I must say that 80s women wrestling wasn't quite the spectacle that it is today but you've put together some very fun characters and stories to keep interest and I can't wait to learn from what you've got going on.

Watching this game unfold, you have taken on many different identities, but I think your UWF is definitely taking the right shape. Jake Roberts, as the snake, I mean face in peril is one of the all time best. He has the odds against him and you're putting him in a spot to only gain more steam. I love the Miracle Violence Connection and I especially love Demolition. Seeing them go toe to toe is something to behold. You've got a lot of great things going here with the UWF and I know that this mix of talent has unlimited possibilities.

Week 5 Raw 12/27 The Killer Bees vs The Hart Foundation The Harts find a way back into the win column It is a nice hard fought mach with the Bees leaving everything they’ve got out there. The Hart attack is the final touch for the 3-count. The Harts get 15-points… but Bret still looks to be in rough shape. The Skyscrapers vs The Nasty Boys The Nasties are riding high from their big victory last week. The Skyscrapers don’t seem to give two shits about last week. This one spills out into the ringside area. Both teams get into the chairs and we’ve got a double DQ and 5 points for each team. Chris Benoit & Chris Jericho vs Cade & Murdoch Benoit and Jericho seem to have found their footing as a team Cade and Murdoch put up a great fight The Lionsault is the finishing touch for a huge pinfall and 15-points for Benoit and Jericho Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith vs The Hardy Boys Match of the night so far Owen and the Hardys put on a fun speed show Davey Boy’s power is what ends the run A huge powerslam from Davey Boy on Matt for the 3-count and 15 points. The Twin Towers vs The Road Warriors The Twin Towers come out with something to prove against the Road Warriors tonight. These four have got some big time issues and throw some serious potatoes at one another. The finish is kind of messy with all four men involved. Bossman grabs the night stick out of nowhere and he just CRACKS Animal right on the side of the head! Hawk then runs and clotheslines Bossman out of the ring to the floor as both men go flying. Akeem then hits the ropes and 747 splash on Animal and the 3-count! The Towers with 15-points and they are back in the hunt! Smackdown 12/31 Double J & The Road Dogg vs Rated RKO Pretty good showing for Rated RKO who have turned it all the way around and dominate this contest. The SPEAR from Edge The RKO from Orton The 3-count and 15 points for Rated RKO! The Rockers vs The Powers of Pain The Rockers continue to build on their momentum The POP are all power but they can’t catch up to Michaels and Jannetty! The finish is a big double dropkick and pinfall! 15-points for the Rockers and they are getting back into the fold! The Steiner Brothers vs Rey Mysterio Jr & Dean Malenko Rick and Scott continue to look amazing. They are perhaps the best team on Smackdown and they’re showing it. Scott with his own Frankensteiner on Rey Jr for the 3-count! 15 points for the Steiners and they continue to look awesome Scott Hall & Kevin Nash vs The Smoking Gunns Pretty dominating victory for Hall and Nash Nash hits the Jacknife on Bart for the 3-count! 15 points for Hall and Nash. The Varsity Club vs Sting & Lex Luger The Varsity Club is trying to get out of the slump and they bring the heat against Sting and Luger The Stinger has got some big time speed to even up the odds. Luger and Williams beat the living piss out of one another. On the other side of the ring, Sting hit the Scorpion Death Drop on Rotundo for the 3-count! Sting and Luger with 15-points… they are on top of the mountain!

Week 4 Raw 12/20 The Skyscrapers vs The Killer Bees We kick things off in a big way here with the Skyscrapers who look like monsters compared to the Bees Blair and Brunzell attempt to use some speed but Spivey and Sid are focused and pissed off from the looks of it. A counter from Spivey on Blair leads to a huge powerslam Brunzell runs in but Sid kicks his head off. Sid and Spivey pick up Blair for a double powerbomb for the 3-count and 15 points! The Twin Towers vs Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith A very interesting contest here Owen has got the speed to keep things Davey Boy shows off his power but the Towers can match him move for move Akeem and Bossman don’t seem to want to follow the rules here Slick is pushing his men past the limits Owen gets smashed in the corner for a big double avalanche! Davey is trying to get in but the Towers double up on him too The referee tries to stop this but Bossman hurls him to the ground! The ref calls for the bell and Owen and Davey get 10 points for the DQ finish! The Road Warriors vs Chris Benoit & Chris Jericho A good mix of styles here Much like the earlier contest, the size of the Road Warriors is what turns the tide Benoit and Jericho don’t have a quitting bone in their body. The Warriors are so cohesive as a team, they dominante from bell to bell. The finish sees Hawk throw Benoit off the top rope and he goes flying into the guardrail Jericho then hits a dropkick on Hawk but he turns around for a huge clothesline from Animal. Hawk shakes off the cobwebs and goes up top while Animal hoists him up and DOOMSDAY DEVICE! 3-count…15 points… the Road Warriors are taking over! The Hardy Boys vs Cade & Murdoch A pretty even contest here. Cade and Murdoch have yet to get on the board but they show promise tonight. Matt and Jeff seem to get the offense going but Cade and Murdoch continue to break ever rule in the book to get ahead. This one goes outside the ring with Matt being doubled up and then Jeff comes off the top with a Swanton taking everyone out! The referee continues the count and gets a double count out while all 4 men fight outside the ring. 5 points for each… The Hart Foundation vs The Nasty Boys Big time main event for these two teams Bret continues to nurse this shoulder injury Saggs and Knobbs continue to hammer down on it. Bret is really selling things here as the Anvil is trying to get things evened up but the Nasties are just too much. The fight spills outside the ring and the referee is trying to get the Anvil back but Saggs and Knobbs hoist up Bret and run him into the ringpost shoulder first… and again! The referee counts as the Nasties come in and Bret is still the legal man! The referee gets to 10! The Nasty Boys with the upset of the tournament and 10 more points! Smackdown 12/24 Double J & The Road Dogg vs The Powers of Pain Double J and the Road Dogg seem to have things on the same page tonight. The POP are working well as a team and their strength is unparalleled. This one doesn’t really have too much of a spark. The ending works with Barb and Double J as the legal men. Barb goes over the top to the floor. The referee counts and he is at 8…9… Road Dogg holds his leg down and 10! Double J and Road Dogg with a win and 10 points! Sting & Lex Luger vs Rey Mysterio Jr & Dean Malenko Sting and Luger appear the be the team staged to really light up this league. Rey and Dean are able to get in some offense but nothing materializes. The finish sees Rey hit a hurricanrana on Sting but the Stinger rolls through for the 3-count! Sting and Luger with 15 more points! Rated RKO vs The Smoking Gunns Rated RKO also show off their skills here tonight. Orton and Edge are absolutely on top of their game and Billy and Bart can’t seem to get going. Orton counters a bulldog into an RKO on Bart for the 3-count and 15 points! The Varsity Club vs Scott Hall & Kevin Nash Well… Steve Williams must not have liked the memo… and he let Hall and Nash know about it. Williams is pulling no punches and Nash and Hall don’t appear to be happy. Rotundo looks like he’ll do business Williams all but checks out and we see Nash with the Jacknife with the 3-count and 15 points. Williams looks him right in the eye… well… this one may be far from over! The Rockers vs The Steiner Brothers The match of the night. These four leave every single thing they have in the ring. The suplexes from the Steiners The speed and double teams from the Rockers The fans are going apeshit for this one. The finish is hot as Rick Steiner hoist up Marty on the turnbuckle Steiner with a superplex… but Shawn is able to counter it and nail a splash off the top onto Steiner when he lands! 1…2….3! The Rockers pull off the huge upset! The Rockers get 15 points and the Steiners can’t believe it!

Continued success for AEW and I ave to say your production values are knocking it out of the park. I feel like I am so far behind in that respect. The Trial of Punk has been fun to see and I am interested in who the 3rd will be. Page and Danielson tore it up IRL and I expect the same here. I think the biggest thing is the run of Brodie Lee. It is the ultimate what if and I think we would all want to see it play out.

Week 3 Raw 12/13 The Nasty Boys vs Chris Benoit & Chris Jericho A fun opener and both of these teams are looking to build some momentum. Jericho and Benoit have a lot of skills but there is one thing their missing that the Nasty Boys have… experience. Experience is what causes the Nasty Boys to take advantage of a wrong man in situation. Benoit hits Saggs with the diving headbutt but it is Knobbs who comes from behind with a nasty elbow right on the back of his neck! The Nasties get the 3 count and 15 points! The Hardy Boyz vs The Killer Bees Another opportunity for both teams to get something going. Here we see both teams use their speed to control the match The Hardys just happen to have the sizzle to go with the steak and we see a Twist of Fate from Matt The Swanton from Jeff and the 3-count! 15 points for the Hardys! The Hart Foundation vs The Twin Towers Another big time match for the Harts who have really been tested early in this tournament. Early on we see Bret hit that turnbuckle with his sternum and then Akeem comes from behind for added measure. Bret is able to get a tag but plays as though he is seriously injured for the rest of the contest The Anvil does his best but the Towers are a little bit too much. Around the 13-minute mark, we see the Anvil make a hot tag to Bret who tries to use his speed to get control. Bret ends up ducking a big clothesline from Akeem who tumbles out of the ring to the floor. Then we see Bossman come but Bret pulls the ropes down and Bossman then tumbles onto Akeem! The referee counts as the Towers struggle to get up and then it is a 10-count! The Harts win via Count Out… but it isn’t done. Bossman grabs the night stick and he NAILS Bret right in the ribs… he looks to be in a very bad way The Harts get 10 points but who knows what happened to Bret’s ribs… Cade & Murdoch vs Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith A good tag team match here and they go by the book. It is 15-minutes as Cade and Murdoch really do look good but Owen and Davey are better Cade and Murdoch seem to get some momentum but a nasty heel kick from Owen on Murdoch spells the end. Davey Boy picks him up and hits a nasty powerslam for the 3-count! Owen and Davey continue to roll with 15 more points! The Skyscrapers vs The Road Warriors The one people have been waiting for The irresistible force vs the immovable object. 10-minutes of hold nothing back just piss pounding for both teams Neither of them seems to want to sell for the other, which is fun, but not all that entertaining. It looks like the Twin Towers still have some issues to resolve as they come back out here with Slick to watch the match. A couple of moments later, Bossman trips Animal with the nightstick… he acts innocent. Then… Akeem pulls the rope down when Spivey runs and he goes to the floor. That seems to be the spark plug because here comes Sid and the Road Warriors! It looks like a six-man melee outside the ring with everyone throwing bombs! The problem is the referee who calls for a double DQ due to the interference but the Towers! Both teams get 5 points… but this is far from over! Smackdown 12/17 Double J & The Road Dogg vs The Rockers Great opener… we see the real Double J come out here and he and Michaels and Jannetty look great Dogg seems to be the weak link but tries to hold his own The finish sees a double superkick on Double J who flies out of the ring to the floor Then we get another on Road Dogg followed by a double fist drop and a signature win for the Rockers… plus 15 points! The Smoking Gunns vs Sting & Lex Luger Billy and Bart really come out here to show their stuff… and so does Sunny. Sting and Luger are really gelling on many ways Billy and Bart actually go low here and pull out some dirty tricks Sunny continues to try and get Sting’s attention but he is having nothing to do with her Leg Luger counters a flying cross body into a powerslam on Billy! Bart runs at Sting who ducks a clothesline and then Sting clothesline him out of the ring to the floor! Billy gets up and Luger hammers hit with a right and he turns around to Sting who is coming off the top with a huge crossbody for the 3-count!! Sting and Luger with 15 points! Scott Hall & Kevin Nash vs Rated RKO An interesting mix of styles here Orton and Hall really tear it up inside the ring with the fans eating it up Edge has got some good stuff too though Kevin Nash is the almighty equalizer and he takes control At about the 16-minute mark, we see the Outsiders take control but Orton is able to wrap Nash’s skull around the ring post. Inside the ring… Hall hits the razor’s edge on Edge… but when he gets up… Orton out of nowhere with an RKO! Orton pins Hall for the 3-count and 15 points! Rey Mysterio Jr & Dean Malenko vs The Powers of Pain Another interesting mix of styles Malenko and Mysterio are outsized in this one The Powers of Pain look good and take over with their power Malenko and Rey do take advantage though… they keep the match going At the 14-minute mark, Barb and Warlord are gassed… here is where Malenko and Rey turn it on! We see both men use their speed and isolate Warlord Rey Mysterio then hits a modified 619 splash on Warlord for the 3-count at the 16-minute mark! Rey and Dean are now on the board with 15-points! The Steiner Brothers vs The Varsity Club Big time main event. Two powerhouse teams that pull no punches Lots of slams and power moves that separate these two teams from others The crowd is solidly behind the Steiners and they put up some big time moves only for the Varsity Club to cheat and get some big time heat Rick and Dr. Death really pound the piss out of one another as Scott and Rotundo have more of the finess. At the 18-minute mark, everything is starting to break down. We see all four men enter the ring and they are going toe to toe Rotundo then goes low and hits a nasty low blow on Rick! 1 minute remaining! Williams picks up Scott and then hits the Oklahoma Stampede in the corner! Meanwhile, Rick gets up and Clotheslines Rotundo out of the ring! Rick goes up top… Williams covers Scott but the referee says he isn’t the legal man Williams gets up and Steiner off the top rope with a bulldog! 1….2….3!!! THE STEINERS WIN! The Steiners get 15-points in what may be the match of the season so far!!! There will be a special Tag Team Turmoil Event on Sunday the 19th of December! Each team from a brand will be chosen at random to go against a team from the other brand! Scoring will be the same as this is a chance for some people to catch up or some to pull away!

Week 2 RAW 12/6 The Skyscrapers vs The Hart Foundation What a way to kick off things this week… perhaps one of the matches everyone was waiting for. We see Bret try to break down Spivey and Sid but their power is too much. The Anvil can match the power with them though and we see him stand toe to toe with em. The two big boys do take complete control and work over the Hitman. They isolate him and do everything but finish him off before he makes a huge tag to the Anvil! Neidhart comes in like a house of fire and he is going at them with everything! At the 13-minute mark, things break loose when Bret and Anvil double clothesline Sid out of the ring. Bret sneaks up behind Spivey before the Anvil comes off the middle rope with a huge shoulder block and Spivey trips over Bret who locks him up for the 1...2...3! The Hart Foundation get 15 points! The Hardy Boys vs The Road Warriors Much like last week… the Road Warriors are perhaps the team to beat and they beat the hell out of the Hardy Boys. Matt and Jeff try to get their momentum going with their speed but nothing doing This one goes only about 4-minutes and ends when Matt comes off the top rope and Hawk clotheslines his head off. Hawk covers for the 3-count and the Road Warriors stand tall with 15-points! Cade & Murdoch vs The Twin Towers w/ Slick A pretty fun match with Cade & Murdoch getting a little bit of shine. The Towers do look strong and bounce back from that double count out last week. We see the isolate of Murdoch followed up by a huge double splash in the corner! Slick serves distraction for Cade while Akeem comes with the 747 and the 3-count! 15-points goes to the Twin Towers! The Nasty Boys vs The Killer Bees Perhaps a chance for either of these teams to get on the board but it is the Nastys who look tough. The Bees are able to show off some good skills out there as they hit some double moves and quick tags. The Nasties are notorious rule breakers and they do so when they double up on Blair and hit a nasty spike piledriver for the 3-count and 15-points! Chris Benoit & Chris Jericho vs Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith Big time main event Some serious in ring work here and it looks like Jericho and Benoit are perhaps the underdogs in this tournament. These guys go right up to the 20-minute mark with all four men showing off their skills. The finish sees Jericho go for a lionsault on Davey but when Jericho gets up it is Owen with a spinning heel kick to the back of the head leading to a cover for the 3-count! Owen and Davey get the 15-points and what a matchup! Smackdown 12/10 Double J & The Road Dogg vs The Steiner Brothers Perhaps the Smackdown favorites, the Steiners kick things off tonight and they look to be at the top of their game. Rick and Scott use their power on the Road Dogg and throw him around the ring while Double J just yells at him from the apron! When Jarrett does get in, Scott gives him a Belly to Belly for his pleasure and then Jarrett tags Road Dogg back in and Scott throws him to the ropes… FRANKENSTEINER! 3-count and the Steiners get 15 more points! The Smoking Gunns vs The Varsity Club This one gets pretty interesting with Bart Gunn and Steve Williams Needless to say, no soft pouches are thrown and even Mike Rotundo shows some metal out there. Billy and Bart seem to be outmatched in power but somehow they find a way to work better as a team. The finish sees both teams brawl out to the floor and then Williams lariats Billy over the guardrail into the fans! Bart runs and jumps the rail tackling Williams! The referee counts to 10 and this one is a double count out, 5 points to both teams! Rey Mysterio Jr & Dean Malenko vs Rated RKO Much like the final survivor series showdown, Malenko and Mysterio are kind of outmatched here but really it is their animosity towards one another that is causing issue. Orton and Edge look to come off their tough loss a week ago and they are pulling no punches. Dean almost leaves his partner out to dry by moving out of the way of Edge who comes in with a nasty SPEAR for th 3-count! Rated RKO get 15 points and are back in the hunt! The Powers of Pain vs Sting & Lex Luger As we see Rated RKO leave, they stop and talk to Fuji who is leading out the Powers of Pain… hmmm…. Sting and Luger come out and they have got the fans solidly behind them. Luger and Sting are great compliments to one another and the Powers of Pain, although big and strong, appear to be outmatched in technique. Just as Sting hits the Stinger Splash on the Warlord, Barbarian grabs the cane and breaks it over Sting’s back! Luger runs over and the POP double team him! The referee has to call for the bell, Sting and Luger win… but only get 10 points. Could Rated RKO have sabotaged Sting and Luger? Scott Hall & Kevin Nash vs The Rockers Main event time and we have got some nice heat going into this one. Michaels gels so well with Nash and Hall. The crowd is white hot behind these guys as the Rockers are going 100mph here. Both of these teams came in with 15 points from wins last week but only one will walk away this week. These guys go about 15-minutes to cap off a good night of action. The finish sees Marty up for the Razor’s edge but Michaels pulls him off… double savat kick on Hall and here comes Nash. Nash with a clothesline on Michaels, sending him to the floor. Jannetty hits the ropes but Nash hits a BIG BOOT! Nash picks up Jannetty and JACKNIFE! 1...2….3! Hall and Nash with 15 more points!

I think the combinations are working well here. I am a huge fan of Hangman and hope he can rise to the top here and stay there. Punk could be next in line but looks like he's got some old business to take care of. I like the format, I like the pictures, this is some really good stuff.

WEEK 1 Raw 11/29 The Skyscrapers vs The Hardy Boys The Skycrapers are indeed awesome and powerful. It is on full display here with the Hardy Boys. A double jackknife on Matt followed by Sid catching Jeff in the air and hitting him with another powerbomb is all she wrote The Skyscrapers get 15 points! The Road Warriors vs The Nasty Boys The Nasty Boys are harboring some ill feelings from the Survivor Series The Road Warriors do look good The Nasty Boys throw the rulebook out the window though Sags and Knobbs get chairs and attack Animal They beat the hell out of him before Hawk can make an assemblance of a save The Road Warriors win via DQ for 10 points! The Hart Foundation vs Cade & Murdoch Perhaps the match of the night. Cade and Murdoch come to work but so do Bret and Neidhart. This one almost goes the 20 minute time limit. Around the 17-minute mark, we see the Hitman counter a lariat into a pinfall! The Hart Foundation gets 15 points! Chris Benoit & Chris Jericho The Twin Towers A very interesting match up. Benoit and Jericho don’t back down from the Towers by any means Bossman and Akeem look pretty good as a team out here with Slick doing some work outside the ring The finish is interesting when The Towers double team Jericho outside of the ring Benoit then attacks Bossman leading them back in the ring but Bossman and Jericho are the legal men. Akeem then hits Jericho with the 747! Jericho doesn’t get in by the 10-count! The Towers get 10 points for a count out win! Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith vs The Killer Bees Owen and Davey Boy make quick work of the Bees. The Bees are just outmatched by the power of Davey Boy. They do well to handle the speed of Owen but just can’t get over their team work. The spinning heel kick wins it for Owen and Davey Boy for 15 points! Smackdown 12/3 Scott Hall & Kevin Nash vs Double J & The Road Dogg Hall and Nash have it all put together here. Double J and Road Dogg seem to not be able to get their ducks in a row Double J continues to yell at the Roadie The finish sees Scott Hall hit the Roadie with a Razor’s Edge for the 3 count! Hall and Nash get 15 points The Steiner Brothers vs The Smoking Gunns A very good battle here with two teams that know how to do it The Gunns are bringing everything they’ve got against the Steiners but Rick and Scott continue to have an answer! Sunny tries to help her men but Rick Steiner just smiles at her The finals moments see a Frankensteiner on Bart for the 3-count! The Steiners get 15 points! The Rockers vs Rey Mysterio Jr & Dean Malenko Match of the night candidate here. These guys go 15-minutes All four men show off their skills Rey ends up being the star of the contest with some arial moves that awe the crowd. The finish sees Dean Malenko fall prey to a big double dropkick from the Rockers for the 3-count! The Rockers get 15 points! The Varsity Club vs The Powers of Pain Power vs Power here and these four men bring some serious meat to these punches. Fuji can’t seem to control his Powers of Pain Williams is losing his cool as well. Rotundo is the only one who attempts to work in the ring but it doesn’t go far Soon all four men are in the ring and the referee loses control for a double dq Both teams get 5 points! Rated RKO vs Sting & Lex Luger A main event if there ever was one. These guys go 18-minutes and everyone is shining. Sting and Luger continue to have issues here and there but seem to be going on the same page right now Edge and Orton are trying to pull any dirty trick that they can Sting and Orton appears to be a match that everyone wants to see again In the final moments, we see Sting duck out of the way of a spear! Luger clotheslines Orton out of the ring to the floor! Edge slowly gets up in the corner and Sting with a STINGER SPLASH! Edge crumbles out and DEATHDROP for the 3-count! A huge victory for Sting and Luger and 15 points to go with it!

World Championship Wrestling! AJ vs Regal could be a fun contest, I would harken it to an RVD v Regal match to some extent. Batista and Rusec is something that I would have loved to see a build towards... then we get the huge upset of P&G beating the Midnights. Makes you wonder what their (MXE) role will be here. Brock... well he's Brock and he's a monster. Solid pick for WCW champion.

I agree with the previous statements, especially with Punk v Kenny. I think that's the one that IRL we will see down the line when they made a huge jump against WWE. Brodie Lee in a premiere spot is also a fun move and a good what if. He had all the tlanet and now you're putting it to use. Eddie is someone that I don't know very much about... but I appreciate the way you're presenting him. I might get behind him if it keeps up.

EXTREME... I have a good appreciation for Jay Lethal and also the Godwinns. Both ends of spectrum but both solid favorites for me. I was always an LAX fans and I was surprised to see them go down here. I will say... without question... that ECW is the most eclectic group of talent and it should be fun to watch how they find spots in this promotion and how you present it.

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.

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.

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.
