I personally love Battle Royals... 20 guys... I even like the tag team variable with 10 teams. Those 1980's WWF shows that had these were awesome in my book. I would love to see us make a good list of battle royals and where to find them. The Andre the Giant 1985 Coliseum video that is on the Network has a pretty darn good one on there from 85 I believe. I am also big on lumberjack matches... again from the 80s. WCW tried to do a couple of them in 95 but I just never bought it. It seemed like seeing all of these people together in the 80s meant something was going to happen and it would be unpredictable. I am a huge fan of the War Games of course but also cage match variants with tag teams (Road Warriors vs Freebirds) and the six-man rage in the cage from ECW Heatwave 1996 with Raven, Stevie, and Brian Lee vs Sandman, Tommy, and Gordy.

They also put over the challenge from Mr. Fuji to the Hart Foundation this past week on television. They put over the big main event tonight with Tony Atlas challening Barry Windham lus the Hart Foundation will be in action and we will hear from Jack Tunney and the Horsemen! Right now we are set for our opening contest… let’s head to the ring! Billy Jack Haynes vs Steve Lombardi -A nice little showcase for Haynes who comes out looking strong. He works the crowd and finishes with the big full nelson and Lombardi has no choice but to give up. The big man walks over to Gorilla and Jesse! Billy Jack puts over his participation in the battle royals as of late and he for one agrees with bringing the Macho Man back into the fold. He knows there are two more battle royals and he plans on winning one of them to get his chance at the title next week! As Billy Jack walks off we then see the Rockers walk into the scene and they have got the fans going wild. Shawn and Marty put over their shot at the world tag team titles at SNME X and talk about how the Horsemen stole the titles from the Harts but the Rockers will win the titles from them. They talk about Bobby Heenan and how he won’t be a factor and the only thing that will be a factor is the lights when the Rockers come flying left and right and take those tag team titles! *COMMERCIAL* PT is back and we see a higlight from this weekend with Mr. Fuji… Highlight: Mr. Fuji came on and put over how Demolition is tired of the Hart Foundation… he has a challenge for them… at SNME they will face one another but when Demolition wins… then the Hart Foundation must not be able to wrestle in America for 6 months! When Gorilla asked about Demolition he said they would follow suit. Gorilla asks why they would hold this match in Canada and Fuji says he wants the Harts to lose and stay out!

The Harts put over how the titles were stolen from them and how they plan on getting them back… but in order to do that they will make sure Demolition can’t wrestle in the United States! They accept the challenge and look forward to sending them packing and say that if it is a fight they want… then they got it! *COMMERCIAL* PT is back with Jack Tunney who is putting over the big issue with Randy Savage… Tunney says he got over 25,000 letters and phone calls for him to come back! He will be allowed to compete in the battle royals next weekend! The crowd is going wild and cheering for Savage but then that brings out the Horsemen…. Bobby Heenan starts by putting a briefcase on the table and opens it up. He pulls out $10,000 dollars and says that any man who eliminates Randy Savage will get this money! Arn Anderson: There is no way on God’s green earth that the teenie boppers are going to rock and roll over the Horsemen. They may say we stole the titles but possession in nine thenths of the law and brother you are looking at the men holding the titles! You want to walk out here for your fifteen minutes of fame but don’t forget that the lights are pretty bright in the main event and when the titles are on the line they get just a little bit brighter. Shawn and Marty… perhaps its best you stay home and just let this one slide. Tully: Don’t say we didn’t warn you… don’t say we didn’t tell you it would happen! We have said it before and we will say it again right now...these are our tag team titles and there isn’t a team walking around the WWF who could even come close to taking them… unless we clone ourselves but then again… the original is better than any imitation. Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty are going to find out the hard way that you don’t mess with the best or you end up like the rest! Barry Windham: I have to say that I look out at the field of challengers and I know that next week a true number one contender will be determined but in no way shape form or fashion will it be Randy Savage. I have beaten you all over this country. I have beaten you at King of the Ring and WrestleMania… I have taken your crown… I have taken your title… I have taken your dignity! I have taken everything you’ve got Savage and now you find a way back in… well it doesn’t matter! There is no way you are going to win that shot… The money is there… and by the way… there are two more men who will be involved this weekend (Arn and Tully smile…) and we know… and you know… that when it is all said and done and the smoke clears… Savage you will have fallen so far down the ladder that you simply won’t matter anymore… not like you already do! Ric Flair: I woke up this morning with a feeling…. I have got this feeling that just made me rise out of bed and look out the window and say… MAN IT IS GOOD TO BE A HORSEMEN! HAHA! WOOOO! You got custom made suits… you got Rolex watches… you got Gator Skin on the feet and gold around the waist brother and everyone is lining up! The Harts… the Rockers… The Bulldogs… they all want what the Horsemen got! You got the six-pack challenge… Hennig… Muraco…. Valentine… Wahoo… they all want what they can’t have and what he Horsemen got! Then you got the biggest turkey of them all… Hulk Hogan… you good for nothing yellow dog coming out here and telling these people lies. Brother you may train and you may say your prayers and I know you take your vitamens but pal you can’t get in the ring with me with this title on the line! You are looking down a pipe dream and will never find your way out of the tunnel Hogan… but there is a gliimmer of light. There is a sign of hope… Hogan… there is a way out! I am going to bring the retirement papers with me to SNME! I will let you sign them right there for all of these people and then you an come and be my choauffer! You can carry my bags. I can teach you to lace my boots! Because HOGAN… you may see me in a tag team… six-man…. Eight-man… maybe even a non-title but pal… you will never get me in that ring with this title on the line and that is going to eat you up so bad that you collapse in on yourself like a dying star and pal when you do… another star will be just that much brighter and that is the star of Ric Flair and the Horsemen…. WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! *COMMERCIAL* PT is back with Hacksaw Duggan out with Dino Bravo and Tony Atlas. They put over their issue with the Horsemen and Duggan says that he and Bravo are going to be here to keep an eye on everyone and make sure this one goes the right way unlike a couple of weeks ago! MAIN EVENT Tony Atlas vs Barry Windham © w/ Bobby Heenan -A fun main event and man does Tony Atlas look good. He has got the physic of a greek-god and he handles Barry with ease around the ring and has him bumping all over the place. We see Heenan starting to sweat outside the ring but Windham is able to get control. He works over Atlas but the crowd starts to stir and shake and get him moving and here comes Atlas to fight back! He is hammering away at Windham with rights and lefts and then a huge press slam. Windham is reeling and here comes Atlas with a big clothesline and Windham goes flying out of the ring to the floor and here comes Arn and Tully! They are trying to help him up but Duggan and Dino come and pull them away and we’ve got a fight! Windham is reeling as he gets up on the apron and Heenan grabs Atlas’ leg and Windham drops down and clotheslines him on the rope! Windham gets in and hits the ropes and then comes with a nasty knee right to the throat and Atlas is in trouble as Windham covers with a handfull of tights and the 1….2….3! This one may be over but Duggan and Dino don’t want to stop and they are ready for more. The Horsemen have to retreat but they won the battle even though this war is far far from over. They also put over how Mr. Fuji has signed a contract for the Tonga Kid to be taking on the Great Muta at SNME X! Who will win the battle royals this weekend with Savage back in the mix? Who will win the six-pack challenge next week? WWF Presents: SNME X Saturday August 30th, 1986 The Forum - Montreal, Quebec, Canada MAIN EVENT INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP Winner of the Battle Royal vs Barry Windham © w/ Bobby Heenan TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP The Rockers vs Arn & Tully © w/ Bobby Heenan LOSER CAN’T WRESTLE IN THE UNITED STATES For 6 Months! The Hart Foundation vs Demolition w/ Mr. Fuji The Tonga Kid vs The Great Muta w/ Mr. Fuji Plus: THE BODY SHOP featuring Hulk Hogan & Ric Flair!

I know you and I have talked about some missing pieces here in Lutte and the foreshadowing says they are coming together. With the guys you have and the foresight on what you want the next couple of months will be intricate for the company and I am interested to see where you end up with all of it.

I am guessing that six-man would get some of the fans pretty hot in PR. I also love the placement of Owen who has become a true star here. When he comes back to the states proper, he will have some great seasoning under his belt and be ready for a big push.

UWF has settled in a good grove here and you've got some pretty prime situations unfolding. We know what will happen with Magnum in just a few short months but until then he looks great. I also like the use of Big Bubba here. In 86 he was starting to get his legs about him and then really got it together in 87 only to improve in 88. You've started him on that direction here.

I am really digging MACW right now and i find it interesting how different each promotion is. For what its worth, I feel like your push is really the live cards where some is TV. Obviously it is great to find a blend but I really dig what's going on here in MACW and how you have shaped this promotion. I will say it again... Dibiase, Orndorff, Bundy and others are very solid guys to build all the other great pieces you have around.

I really like this Terry Funk situation. He is such a captivating character and right now he has got all eyes on him in an absolutely loaded promotion. Road Warriors continue to dominate all comers and then we see the bastardized Von Erichs go down to the Freebirds which I always like seeing. I still think that Gordy has all the makings to becoming the absolute man in World Class even with Dusty and Funk and I would personally like to see those matches unfold on big stages in the future.

That's was definitely one of the caveats we discussed. At least 2 people for the WWE with a third if they wanted NXT. I'd be up for doing a major brand and working with someone else on it for sure.

Pretty good stuff here from the UWF with a lot of people finding the right spots to fit in not only here but in the scope of the NWA. I don't know if Ron Simmons would really be ready for a Doom style run at this point but you've done well enough building him up. I am also a fan of the Luger and Ladd pairing. They could work off of each other quite well and Luger is always in need of some extra pomp with his circumstance.

I'd be up to split the wwe with a couple of people for raw, sd, and NXT...

Depends on who they were and how they would related to wrestling. I don't quite see Muhammad Ali and 1986 coming up to Portland but if you have other ones I'm sure that it'll be okay try to keep it as realistic as you can with the times the location and the product.

They will compete with four other men in a couple of weeks. Jack Tunney is out here saying that it will be a six--man match with elimination rules. Then we see someone out of the back… Miss Elizabeth comes over to Jack Tunney and pleads with him to let Randy Savage be reinstated. Tunney says that Savage has almost broken the camel’s back. Liz says not only she but all the fans want Savage back and we hear them start to chant his name. Jack Tunney pauses for moment and then says that if the fans want Savage back they need to let him know. He will have his men ready and if he can get 10,000 calls in this week then he will think about it. Elizabeth says thank you and then pleads with the fans to call and write in! Gorilla and Jesse put it over and then talk about how tonight we will have two big tag team matches in whcih the winners will face each other next week and the winner of that match will go on to face Arn and Tully at SNME. The first match will be Demolition and the Harts and the second will be the Rockers against Power and Glory. Plus TV Champion Curt Hennig will be in action and then we will have a big main event with Hulk Hogan here! Let’s go to the ring! The Hart Foundation vs Demolition w/ Mr. Fuji -This one was hot from the onset and these two teams started throwing elbows and punches and kicks early on and this one gets out of hand. Fuji is really pushing things outside of the ring as all four men tumble to the floor and now they are fighting into the guardrail! The referee tries to get control but he ends up calling for the bell! It is a double count out! Officials and agents come out here to try and help this but these guys are all over the place! Looks like the winners of the Rockers vs Power and Glory get the shot at the gold… but what if they both lose? *COMMERCIAL* PT is back and we see Big John Studd come out with Jimmy Hart and Greg Valentine. They put over the big tag team match later on with Power and Glory. Big John then talked about how he is going to handle that good for nothing Wahoo whenever he gets the chance. Valentine puts over winning a battle royal and getting back in the title hunt against the IC Champion but he also says that Curt Hennig better check his back because that TV Title belongs to him! Lots could happen here as the champion is in action! Curt Hennig © vs Bunkhouse Buck -Curt Hennig comes out with the TV title and he looks stacked right now with the gold. He and Bunkhouse Buck have a pretty good little match here and Buck is showing off some great skills and some spectacular selling. The finish sees Buck swing wildly but Hennig ducks and then an atomic drop and Buck is wobbly legged and then he turns around for the Hennig Plex and the 1...2….3! The champion retains! He walks over to the booth… Curt Hennig joins Jesse and Gorilla and out comes Wahoo McDaniel! They both work the crowd and put over how Wahoo won a battle royal and gets his chance at the IC title but he also knows that he wants his hands on John Studd. Wahoo and Hennig say they will challenge Studd Valentine this week on Superstars! *COMMERCIAL* We return to PT and see Sting and Warrior come out and they are right in Jesse’s face. Jesse says that the Nasty Boys aren’t too far and that they could pounce at any time but Sting and Warrior say they are up for the challenge and welcome it whenever they got the GUTS! The Rockers vs Power & Glory w/ Jimmy Hart -This one has been building for quite some time and here we go with the tag title shot on the line. We see all four-men get involved and the Rockers are really on fire right now. They are hammering away with rights and lefts on both men but then it is a double dropkick that takes Hercules out of the ring. This leaves Roma to the Rockers who duck and dodge around him and then nail a double dropkick on him! Hercules staggers up outside the ring and Shawn Michaels runs and leaps over the top rope and splashes him! Jannetty goes up top and hits a cross body on Roma for the 1….2…..3!!! The ROCKERS HAVE WON IT! They will go on to face Anderson and Blanchard at SNME! The crowd pops big time for them! *COMMERCIAL* PT is back with Jesse and Gorilla putting over the big MSG card that will be show right after PT tonight on the MSG network where available and then we see the entrance of the Immortal Hulk Hogan! Hulk Hogan vs Boris Zhukov w/ Slick -The Hulkster is here and he is rocking and rolling. We see a fun little 6-minute contest with Boris working the Hulkster over a little bit but then Hogan hulks up in a big way. We see Nikolai come out but then Hacksaw and Atlas run out and hold him off for Hogan to hit the big boot and then the AXE BOMBA! 1….2…..3! Hogan is the winner and the crowd explodes! Hogan walks over to the booth… Hulk Hogan: Ric Flair! I don’t know who you think you are brother but it is high time for Hulk Hogan to get his hands back on that WWF title and brother you can run but you can’t hide! I am coming for you and all those Horsemen and if it is the last thing I do I am going to come and take that title from you! Jesse: Well Hogan… it just so happens that I spoke with Ric Flair today… and he has a challenge for you… he wants you to meet him at Saturday Night’s Main Event in the Body Shoppe with me and he is going to smack you around like the CHUMP that you are! Hulk Hogan: Jesse… I know you have got the silver tongue brother and you come out here and run your mouth but trust this... Hulk Hogan will be there at Saturday Night’s Main Event and I am goign to destroy Ric Flair and the Body Shop but first… I am going to jump on my Harley and head down to Madison Square Garden right now with Hacksaw and Tony Atlas and we are going to tear those Horsemen apart! Hogan flexes and walks off as the crowd pops! Remember to let Jack Tunney know if you want Randy Savage reinstated next week! Hennig and Wahoo vs Studd and Valentine on Superstars. We’ve got MSG coming up here tonight so stay tuned!

I agree with the love for the house shows. These are pretty good write ups and very easy to follow. I am really hoping that LeDuc gets on a roll down here.

Amazing showcase here from World Class to go along with all the rest of the action. Some of the hot points for me were the Dr. D win and then the perfume spray finish which was fantastic. Like the Andre showcase and the tag title match which kind of gets me excited about Brody and Hansen and what they can truly become here in the NWA. Big time finish for the War Games match which really was the highlight of the show for me and I would have actually put this in the main event with the title change happening before hand due to the spectacle. I enjoyed Kerry winning the title and it really marks a change in the NWA with 3 champions in one year but all three deserving and all three being top tier guys. I think it shows a difference between this and Real Life. Here... you have challengers who COULD TAKE THE TITLE AT ANY POINT rather than Flair who continued to just defend the title without regard. You don't know who is going to win which is the real best part of things but also when that one person, whomever it may be, does go on a longer title run then you will know they are truly the best. Will that person be Kerry? I am not sure... he has the pedigree but also a stack of contenders that will challenge him on every front.

I then went out and looked at some Golden/Fuller stuff... I don't think Golden would go well in the WWF but the Buck gimmick is something they would go with. Just an opinion and better way to write him.

What kind of changes could you see happening?

In regards to Bunkhouse... I've never seen Golden in any other iteration. I sometimes jump to what I know best but as a lower level guy here hopefully it doesn't ruffle too many feathers. I want to be creative but sometimes I don't have too much to go from with some people.

Jack Tunney announces that the next three weeks there will be special battle royals on the Saturday and Sunday supershows for the WWF… the six men who win will then be entered into a match on Prime Time to see who will face Barry Windham at SNME 10! Next week, we will also have Hulk Hogan in action!! Jim Powers vs The Great Muta w/ Mr. Fuji -We finally see Muta in action here on PT and he is something special. He has some amazing aerial techniques and finishes things off with a huge moonsault that really gets the crowd going. After the match we see Powers try to get up but Muta spits the mist in his face! *COMMERCIAL* PT is back with Gorilla and Jesse putting over the big announcement from Tunney about the battle royals and Hogan being here next week. Jesse puts over how it is just too bad that Savage won’t be involved. Jesse says he has to go check on something as we cut to our next match. Wahoo McDaniel vs Bunkhouse Buck -Given that Jesse leaves we then see Jimmy Hart come out with Studd and they put themselves over during this contest with Wahoo and Buck. Buck has got some bucksnort coming but the chops keep him going as Wahoo is in complete control and finishes things off with a huge overhead chop and it is all over! Studd and Hart put themselves over and Studd says he is ready to get that shot at the IC title and he puts over how anyone in his way will feel his wrath. Wahoo says he would love to have a shot at the big man and Studd says he doesn’t have time for such games. Wahoo pushes him and Studd pushes back and Wahoo asks if that’s all he’s got… and if it he… he doesn’t have time for his games and Wahoo walks off to some cheers! *COMMERCIAL* The Blade Runners vs Dennis Stamp & Steve Lombardi -Sting and Warrior in tag team action here and they are all power. Sting is polished due to his last two years of work but Warrior has definitely got some work to do. The finish is once again a press slam by Warrior and a splash by Sting for the 3-count! Jesse once again comes out and the Blade Runners trade barbs with him before Jesse says he knows these guys can do the fight in the gym but can they do it in the streets. Just then we see two guys come out from the back and attack the Blade Runners! Jesse jumps back on commentary to put over how it is Saggs and Knobbs the Nasty Boys from the streets of Brooklyn! They hammer on the Blade Runners who sell but then come back… the Nasties back off when Sting and Warrior come for them but officials and agents come out and back things off! *COMMERCIAL* PT is back with Gorilla and Jesse putting over a night full of action… they put over the Nasty Boys and our big main event coming up with Hacksaw Duggan and Barry Windham. They also pump up the big battle royals that start next week! Hacksaw Duggan vs Barry Windham w/ Bobby Heenan -This one isn’t for the IC title but these two fight like it is. These two guys throw some big bombs and Barry Windham bumps and flies for Duggan who looks like a contender right now. Windham gets some offense in but it all sets up for Duggan to come back and fire off some huge shots and this brings out the tag team champions. The chaos ensues in which Hacksaw Duggan ends up getting tired of the BS and here comes Duggan with the 2x4 and nails everyone! The crowd is hot for Hacksaw and he has made a statement here to the WWF, the fans, and to the Horsemen… Hacksaw is ready for a fight!

Pretty awesome show from San Antonio with some big time matches and pay offs. I personally like the dynamic you have with the talent you've built here in World Class. I said it before but damn you have got a STACKED roster. Then you add in the freelance team of Body and Hansen who will no doubt be a team to reckon with. I am also interested to see how Eddie Gilbert jumps into the mix here and with Hotstuff and Hyatt... they could really move up the card in a quick and big way.

I agree with all the Owen sentiments. He is without a doubt making a serious name for himself with his work down here. I also like the LeDuc arrival here. I think there is a missing link in this world of wrestling right now with some real hardcore style and LeDuc could start that revolution.

Mid Atlantic is rocking... Dusty and Bull showing up in a big way. I do think there is something to do with Gantner and this could be the rock launch site for him. I also think that Tommy Rich is an undersung hero of MACW and could become a big time player like he was at this point in his career. Best part about this card is no Dibiase or Orndorff who are without a doubt your top two guys with Bundy as well and man you still put together a helluva show. Great stuff.

I am a little surprised you already went in with men with a woman focused promotion. The use of a video helps the majority of us learn a little more about some of the aspects of this promotion that perhaps we don't know about. I am very interested on your feedback on the rest of the work we're doing with this project and how this fits in.

We then hear the crowd stir as out comes Jack Tunney... -This is an interesting little bit as Tunney comes out and calls out Savage who is white hot right now. Savage says he wants the title match from Windham and wants it so that no Horsemen can get involved. He wants Heenan suspended from ringside and he says that he will make it so Liz won’t be there. Jack Tunney then comes back with the fact that Savage has not truly beaten Barry Windham. This starts to rile Savage up. Tunney says there are many other contenders for the Intercontinental Championship that deserve a shot and it is time to give them an opportunity. Savage says he understands but knows that Windham has never beaten him without the help of the Horsemen or Bobby Heenan! Tunney says that at this time… Randy Savage is no longer a contender for the Intercontinental Championship and then Savage grabs him by the coat and Gorilla and Jesse intervene! Here come officials and agents like Pat Patterson and Gerry Brisco! They are trying to get control of him as Jack Tunney storms off… my oh my what a start…. Let’s head to the ring. The Tonga Kid vs Steve Lombardi -This is a quick one as Tonga Kid looks good in the ring. He has got some speed here and looks great with a flying dropkick off the top rope! The crowd is going wild and Tonga Kid grabs Lombardi and hoists him up for a big SAMOAN DROP for the 3 count! Tonga goes and works the fans who appear to be pretty excited for him! *COMMERCIAL* PT is back with Slick coming out and putting over the Russians again! He heard some rumblings about WWF officials not knowing who the true number one contenders for the tag titles where and Slick says that they have to look no further than the Russians. They are in action as we head to the ring! Todd Champion and Curtis Thompson vs The Russians w/ Slick -The Russians looks STRONG here tonight and they have got some big time heat with the crowd. Boris and Nikolai really beat the hell out of these two guys before finishing them off with the Russian Nightmare as they call it with the holding Russian Sickle into the Spinebuster for the 3-count! Sting and Warrior come out and cut another promo with Jesse and Gorilla. Jesse says that these two guys may have the bodies but they don’t have the brains. That's when Sting gets hot with Jesse but the Body says that he isn’t out here for a fight… he just wants to see if they are up for a challenge. The Warrior comes back saying they spend a lot of time in the gym and a lot of time in the ring but they don’t spend time with losers and that’s what Jesse is being right now and if he’s got a team then he should send them out and lets the Blade Runners do what they do best! We’ll see where this one goes! *COMMERCIAL* PT is back with Jimmy Hart out here with his men and he puts over Big John Studd who is about to do something no one else in the WWF can do… he is going to face two men at the same time! He puts over the Power and Glory stuff with the Rockers and says that they will get exactly what’s coming to them before too long. Then he finishes saying that Greg Valentine will be looking to get his revenge on Curt Hennig and challenges him for the TV title on Superstars this week if he’s up for it! Dennis Stamp & Bob Bradley vs Big John Studd -Studd looks awesome here and looks to be in great shape. He handles Stamp and Bradley here with no problem whatsoever. He ends up slamming both men on top of one another. Studd just puts his foot on these guys and gets the victory. He then starts throwing them around and looking pretty nasty... As the agents and referees are helping Stamp and Bradley we see Wahoo McDaniel come out and he cuts a promo on the Horsemen saying that his business with them is far from over. He says he understands just how upset Randy Savage is and knows that he will get his hands on Barry Windham some day. Then we see Big John Studd and Jimmy Hart come over and say they are the ones who deserve the prime time treatment here… not Wahoo. They of course have words and Wahoo says that he is open to seeing Studd one on one anytime he gets the guts to step in that ring. Studd and Hart laugh it off and then walk away. *COMMERCIAL* PT is back and we’ve got two more huge matches coming up as Gorilla and Jesse put them over and then we hear them say that Jack Tunney will address the incident with Randy Savage earlier on this evening after this next contest as we head to the ring! SIX-MAN TAG Billy Jack Haynes & The Hart Foundation vs Don Muraco & Demolition w/ Mr. Fuji -A pretty good little six-man with these guys all having some issues with one another and we can see the veracity between the Harts and Demolition as they have got some serious issues with one another after Demo cost them the tag titles. Billy Jack and Muraco do enough to keep it interesting but aren’t a huge commodity in the scheme of things. The finish is pretty slick when we see the Hart Foundation look like they’re ready to finish off Muraco but when Bret hits the ropes for a Hart attack it is Fuji who DESTROYS a cane over his back which leads to Demolition coming in and getting control. We see them look to finish but then Billy Jack comes back in a big way. The Harts start rocking and they look to finish but out of nowhere a guy shows up! What in the world is going on here? This guy just sprayed the green something into the face of Bret Hart! Bret has been blinded as Billy Jack and the Harts are winners via DQ. Jesse puts over how this is Muta! He is Fuji’s man from the Orient! These guys are beating the piss out of the Foundation and Billy Jack as officials come out. This mysterious man has made himself known... *COMMERCIAL* -We are back with PT with limited time remaining… but we see Jack Tunney come out and he announces that due to the actions from earlier this evening that not only will Randy Savage not receive a rematch against Barry Windham but he has also been suspended for 30 days for his actions! The crowd is not happy about it while Tunney leaves the area and we head to the ring. MAIN EVENT Tony Atlas vs Tully Blanchard w/ Angel -This one doesn’t have a lot of time remaining but these two get right to work. Tully is perhaps the best chicken shit heel in wrestling and he cans till bring it when he needs to in there and he does. Tully carries the contest with some nice heat and he sells for Atlas who throws him around pretty good. Tully controls the beginning of the contest but then Atlas takes control and a couple of huge powerslams is spelling the end for Tully. We see Arn Anderson and Barry Windham come out and the crowd is stirring. They are trying to get involved but here comes Dino Bravo out and we’ve got a brawl in the aisle. Here comes Ric Flair now and he attacks Bravo! The Horsemen have control of this one outside the ring but inside the ring Atlas grabs Tully for a powerslam but Angle holds his leg and Atlas then sees what’s going on outside the ring and goes out to help Dino as the fight goes back into the ring but then the crowd pops as out of the back come HACKSAW JIM DUGGAN! He is back in the WWF and comes out with the 2x4 and clears house with a couple of whacks to Anderson and Blanchard. He calls Flair a pussy as time is running out. Hacksaw is here! Savage is suspended! More on PT next week!

John Tolos idea ended up not working out... he's back to being a free agent... I will pick up Pedro to fill some gaps and if anyone has something big for him just let me know.

I just went back and looked at when we created the rule and we talked about having only 2 but obviously all things change and can be organic but having 5 job or packs is probably a little bit too much. Especially due to the fact that if you wanted to you could simply change them out every couple weeks if you really wanted instead of just holding the money roster. I'm sure 3 is probably a good Max for everyone but if I'm wrong speak up and we can figure it out.
