MACW would like to pick up Matt Borne.

I love the Midnight Express! That is a pretty fun team with Jim Cornette as the mouth. I look forward to seeing how they develop!

I like the Santana/Steamboat vs Bad News Breakers, and specifically Muraco vs Santana as a possible America's title feud going hot a while. That'd be awesome if it blossoms that way.

Six-Man Tag Team Wrestling! Yes please! I love the concept.

END OF TV TAPINGS Main Event Dark Match Kamala wins a battle royal

I'll showcase the entire tournament on World Wide Wrestling.

All set.

All set.

Just so I know for sure...who is all still under the NWA banner? I am assuming it is MACW, Portland and Smokey Mountain. Does that sound correct gentlemen?

I like this idea. I'm not quite sure who we could add though. We could just keep the Freelancers to just the four for now?

When there is a need for discussion.

I agree with Kevin here, I don't see how this leaves anyone out in the cold. Every draft we do here always is a good addition to your roster. And with time, you'll build your roster to your liking. I'm for adding in the freelancers into the draft. There is so much loaning and sharing of talent here, I don't see it being a problem.

Yes, the members of the NWA put it to a vote.

All Set

Yes, I made a page for that...currently it is right under the thread for booking the World Champion.

I like Dr. Tom as the champion. That will be fun going forward. Looking forward to see where we go in the future here.

Love the TV, another great build to your big supercard at MSG. Great presentation as always.

I love all the little things you do with this territory. The special attractions, the action, and the TV. Always a fun read, love to see what's coming next!

Akbar is such a great fit in the USWA. I agree about the house show matches, well booked. Great stuff.

August 2, 1984 TV Taping (WCW Airing 8/4 & WWW Airing 8/5) Roanoke, VA Civic Center World Championship Wrestling Taping Tony Schiavone and David Crockett welcome us to the newly branded World Championship Wrestling Saturday evening show on Superstation WTBS. As a part of acquiring the Georgia territory, a deal was struck between Ted Turner and Jim Crockett to bring Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling to WTBS and it’s 6:05 TV slot. They discuss the new working relationship with Ted Turner and with MACW running Georgia, specifically Atlanta regularly, they will now broadcast their Mid Atlantic show on the superstation. World Wide Wrestling will now fill in the syndication that MACW’s regular Saturday show ran in, as WCW is now a WTBS exclusive show. It’s also TWO HOURS, and that will bring a lot of excitement to MACW. They promise to discuss the events in Atlanta with lots of clips from that show throughout tonight’s event. They also have an announcement stemming from that main event title cage match. But first, let’s get to the action. Single’s Match Magnum TA vs Mike Sharpe One Fall, 10-Minute TV Time Limit Magnum makes quick work of his larger opponent this week. He picks up the win with the Belly-to-belly suplex. Just as the match finishes, the NWA United States Champion walks out to the WCW set (http://s2.dmcdn.net/IZ2_T/x360-y8W.jpg) and Tony talks with the champion. Harley says that he came here for the competition and he sees this young punk out here. Race has a problem with Magnum, and he walks over to the set on his way back to the locker room. He wants to know what Harley’s problem is. Race says he wants to put this kid in his place. Magnum calmly says anytime, anywhere….and don’t forget to bring that US title. Magnum walks back to the locker room and Race is steaming about that. Race promises to teach that kid a lesson. Time: 2:41 Decision: Magnum TA COMMERCIAL BREAK 1 David welcomes us back to the debut of World Championship Wrestling from Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling on the superstation WTBS. He informs us that we had some major controversy stemming from the main event at the first battle in Atlanta this past Monday. We saw Ric Flair pay off Skandor Akbar to help him win the cage match by getting the Russian Bolsheviks and Abdullah The Butcher to interfere. We go to clips of the Steel Cage match and the ending. We return as David has a statement from MACW officials, and it says that they have indefinitely suspended Skandor Akbar from MACW. He just returned from a suspension and gets himself into more trouble. Because Ric Flair is the NWA World Heavyweight Champion, they cannot suspend him, but they did fine him $25,000 for his actions, which he has his lawyers working on getting that overturned. David brings out the World Champion, “Nature Boy” Ric Flair. Flair is as confident as ever. David asks him about being fined for $25,000. Flair says it’s not about the money, it’s about the principal of the thing. What did he really do? He won a Steel Cage match, by any means necessary. He didn’t break the rules, because there wasn’t any, pal! Whoooo!!! He’s the Champion, and he proved it in a huge way Monday night in Atlanta. He proved it so well, he got MACW this national exposure with his very good friend, Ted Turner. Flair is the diamond in the rough here in the NWA. David asks what is next for the champ. Flair says he will continue to be The Man, The Champ, and the greatest World Champion there ever has been. Flair shows off the championship belt and struts off to the locker room. COMMERCIAL BREAK 2 We return with Tony and David telling us that up next is an NWA World Six-Man Tag Team Title Match, with the former champions, The Moondogs against the current champions, Kamala and The Strongbow’s.

NWA World Six-Man Tag Team Championship Match Challengers, The Moondogs (Spot, Rex & Moretti) vs Champions, Kamala & The Strongbow’s (Jules & “Chief” Jay) One-Fall, 30-Minute TV Time Limit The fans are excited for this championship match. The champions get the advantage early and work over the challengers, specifically Moretti. He hangs in through the beating, but it’s been tough. Mostly the Strongbow’s are working him over here. It seems they are keeping Kamala on the apron as the cleaner when the time calls for it. Moretti escapes the punishment and gets a tag into Spot, but Spot gets caught in the corner and the champions regain control as we head into a commercial break. COMMERCIAL BREAK 3 As we return from the break. Kamala finally gets into the match, and all hell breaks loose. All six-men get inside the ring and brawl all over the place.

Time: 4:34 Decision: The Bolsheviks Tony informs the audience that signed for next week, Harley Race defends the United States title against Magnum TA. Tony says this is a major title match for the second week of World Championship Wrestling. Tony then takes us back to Atlanta and shows us a clip from the Race/Weaver title match. We see a few minutes of the middle of the contest where Race has control. We skip ahead to the finish as Harley lands the leaping knee smash for the win. Tony sends us to commercials. COMMERCIAL BREAK 5 David welcomes us back to the show. David tells us that we had a bloody steel cage match between two former friends. He shoots us to the footage. We see the bloody brawl, and we see Sam Houston gain the victory after a long bloody battle. We return to the arena and David is there with Houston. Sam thanks the fans for their support. He wants to put this rivalry behind him and look back to getting on the winning track and back to some gold in MACW. David tells us that Terry Taylor has left the territory after the loss in Atlanta. Sam said he made his bed, now he’s gotta lie in it. David sends us to commercial, and when we return….SUPERSTAR GRAHAM! COMMERCIAL BREAK 6 Tony welcomes “Superstar” Billy Graham to the show. Graham struts out to the interview set and discusses coming to MACW. Ted Turner personally brought him to the officials in MACW. He is here for one thing, and that’s the World Champion.

He grabs David and tells him to play the footage from Atlanta. David hesitates, but tells the truck to roll it. We see a few minutes of the Taped Fists match between Tully and Barry Windham. We see the brawl end when JJ Dillon gets a roll of silver dollars to Tully and he punches Barry out with it. He covers Windham and gets the pinfall. We head back to the set and Tully is glowing with pride over that victory. JJ has joined him on the set. They proclaim that he is the greatest Television Champion in the history of the NWA and no one will change that.
