This is my updated roster, with my +1 for the April add-on (another jobber pack). I will add another manager when the free agency opens again, but as of right now...here's my updated roster. I still have the Rock 'n Roll Express listed as a loan, since I believe that's true through June, if this isn't the case, just let me know so I can remove them from the roster and remove them from further plans. Thank you.

May 31, 1984 TV Taping (Airing on 6/2/84 and WWW for 6/3/84) Charlotte, NC Charlotte Coliseum MACW TV Taping to be aired on June 2nd. Tony Schiavone: Welcome wrestling fans, to the Charlotte Coliseum. This week is a huge television program! This week, we have the NWA World Six-Man Tag Team titles on the line! The Champions will defend their titles against the Moondogs. David Crockett: That’s right, Tony! What a main event that is! We usually don’t have a major title defense like this on television! We also will have the NWA World’s Champion here to discuss his cage match from last weekend against Ricky Steamboat. Tony: And that’s not all, we will hear from both challenger and champion, as there is also a big United States Title match set for World Wide Wrestling. David: What a huge beginning to the summer we have in store! Let’s get right to the action, Tony. Single’s Match One-Fall with a 10-Minute TV Time Limit Terry Taylor vs Tony DeVito Terry Taylor gets a loud ovation. His friend Sam Houston accompanies him to ringside. Terry doesn’t waste much time, delivering a nice flying forearm for the win. Decision: Terry Taylor Time: 3:01 Tony: Welcome to the set, victorious Terry Taylor and his tag team partner, Sam Houston. Sam: Thank you, Tony. Tony: You are gunning for those United States Tag Team Titles. Terry: That’s right, Tony. We are a new team, but we are working our way up that ladder. We want nothing more than to be the next US Tag Team Champions. Sam: Yeah, and with Terry Taylor as my partner, I see nothing getting in our way. We will continue to get wins and build a resume towards that number contendership. Terry: Patterson & Stevens, be ready for us. We are ready for you. Tony: And we’ll be right back. COMMERCIAL BREAK Before we head to the ring for the next match, a pre-tape interview with Randy Savage about his title match on WWW this week. Randy: I hear that big, bad, Barry Windham wants a shot at the champ. Can you believe that?! He wants to take on the Macho Man, even after I embarrassed him and destroyed his brother, yeah! Don’t you worry, I’ve got special plans for you Barry. You are in the scope my friend, yeah! The Macho Man knows who you are, and he will take you out, DIG IT?! David: Before we head to the ring for our main attraction this week, the Freebirds have joined us here at the table. Michael: This is crap, David Crockett! I don’t know what your idiot brother is trying to prove, but we won’t let him get the best of us! Buddy: That’s right! We are the best team in the entire world. We are fighting champions, and we WILL keep these pretty gold belts. You can put us in steel cage matches, we win. You can put us up against the toughest pretty boys, we win. You can even book a match on the fly today, and we will win. We are that damn great. Terry: Enough talking, let’s go. The Freebirds storm off the set and head to the ring. NWA World Six-Man Tag Team Championship Match One-Fall with a 45-Minute TV Time Limit Challengers, The Moondogs (Rex, Spot & Moretti) vs Champions, The Fabulous Freebirds (Gordy, Hayes and Roberts) The announcers discuss why the Freebirds are so upset about this title match. They say the Freebirds claim they didn’t have to defend the belts for another few weeks, due to their recent steel cage victory, but the NWA Board decided that this match was to take place. Basically saying that because the ‘Birds had Savage’s help to win, they had to defend the belts again to the next top challengers. The match itself goes between three commercial breaks. The birds had the advantage over Moretti for quite a few minutes. But he wouldn’t be kept down. The big tag to Rex turns the match and momentum around in the Moondogs favor. The Freebirds turn it into a pier six brawl all over the ring. Referee Tommy Young is trying to keep order. Terry Gordy nails Spot with a vicious back suplex, but Tommy won’t count. The wrong Moondog is being pinned. Gordy tosses him to the floor, and Rex school boys a shocked Gordy for the win! The Moondogs roll to the floor, pick up Spot and are handed the championships. They are ecstatic and the place is going crazy. No one really thought that the Moondogs could put it together against the hot team of the Freebirds. Buddy grabs the microphone. Buddy: I can’t believe this! How did this happen?! You know what, you’re all against us. I can feel it. I’m sick of it. We are the best damn team in the world. You jealous (bleeped on TV). You can’t get the best of us. We are the best! We are the real champions! Screw this, let’s go boys. The Freebirds stomp out of the building as we head to commercial break. Decision: New NWA World Six-Man Tag Team Champions, The Moondogs! Time: 29:42 COMMERCIAL BREAK David: What a shocker, huh Tony?! NEW champions right here in the NWA! The Moondogs upset the world AND the Freebirds to win the championships! Tony: An unbelievable moment here in MACW, David! The Freebirds just walked out of here, grabbed their bags and walked straight out of the building. I tell you this, whoever their target is next, I don’t want to be near that situation. David: They are sore losers, for sure. Someone who isn’t a sore loser, is the challenger for tomorrow’s big time US title match on World Wide Wrestling, and he is the TV Champion, Barry Windham! Barry walks to the interview set to talk with David Crockett. David: Barry, you finally get a shot at the Macho Man on World Wide Wrestling. The NWA Board of Directors named you the number one challenger after your impressive streak with the TV Title. Barry: Yes, they did David. I think I’m deserving of this chance. It is a huge opportunity for me. I love being the Television Champion, but the United States Championship has such a tradition behind it as well. It is almost a stepping stone to earning that NWA World’s Heavyweight Title. It’s just a bonus I get to beat on that Randy Savage as well. David: He is a dangerous human being, are you prepared for “Macho Madness?” Before Barry could answer, a masked man jumps from the audience and attacks Barry. This masked man tosses Windham into the barricade. He then grabs a folding chair and waffles him on the back with it. This masked man pushes over David Crockett and picks up Barry and delivers a very brutal looking powerslam onto the floor. He tries to pick up Barry once more for maybe a piledriver, but officials and security arrive to take the man away. Barry is brutally hurt. Tony gets on the microphone. Tony: We need medical help for Barry, and someone please check on David Crockett! What’s that, uh, no, we can’t have the World Champion out here now. We need help out here! Wrestling fans, this is insane. Barry is hurt. The truck is telling me we will go to a replay of this horrible incident, and we will see you back here next week on Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling. Until then, join us on World Wide Wrestling. I don’t even know if Barry can wrestle tomorrow! We show a replay of the attack and fade to black. Dark Match not taped for Television. Kamala defeated Pez Whatley in 6:22 after two big splashes. World Wide Wrestling Taping to be aired on June 3, 1984 Bob Caudle: Welcome to World Wide Wrestling! I’m Bob Caudle, and I am joined once again this week by Tony Schiavone. We have a huge United States Championship match in store for you this week! Tony: That’s right, Bob! But we have an announcement to make about that match right now. After the brutal attack on Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling this weekend, Barry Windham will not be able to compete for the United States Championship. However, the Board of Directors have issued a notice that there WILL BE a title match on this week’s show! Bob: We have just learned that Sam Houston has been named Barry’s replacement in this title match. That is huge news this week on World Wide Wrestling. Tony: The Champion, Randy Savage is livid at the announcement. He’s threatened to leave the arena, but the Board of Directors also stated that if he does, he can leave the championship behind, as they will strip him of the title for skipping out on a Television defense. The Board members are on hand to today to make this quick decision. They were not pleased at the events that closed our TV show this weekend. Rumors have been running rapid around the locker room that either Randy Savage was under the mask and attacked Barry, or he has hired someone to do his dirty work. We have offered Randy Savage TV time to respond, but he has declined to comment. This is very unusual for Savage to not want to step in front of a camera and speak his mind. Bob: Well, in his defense, Tony, he does have a huge title defense today, and against a challenger he really wasn’t prepared for. But, let’s not waste much more time, the fans want to see some action. And we have an six-man match coming up! Six-Man Tag Team Match One-Fall with a 15-minute time limit. Mr. Fuji’s Clan (Saito, Lee & Tanaka) vs Sweet Daddy Siki, Salvatore Bellomo & Chris Champion Fuji’s henchmen dominate in this match pretty easily. Much to the surprise of the crowd. Bellomo takes a beating before getting a quick tag off to Siki, but he also quickly gets into trouble. Getting himself stuck in the corner for a number of double and triple-teams. Tanaka sets up Siki with a huge butterfly suplex into Saito’s splash for the win. Fuji’s men were dominant here. Decision: Fuji’s Clan Time: 7:13 COMMERCIAL BREAK Tag Team Match One-Fall, 15-Minute Time Limit The Vachon’s vs Rip Rogers & Italian Stallion The Vachon’s go on the attack early. Keeping Stallion in their corner. The just brawl the majority of the match, ending with a double back elbow to Stallion. Rogers never even tagged into the match, and left his partner before the end of the match. Decision: The Vachon’s Time: 4:21 Bob Caudle: A big win for the veteran team of the Vachon’s. We have pre-recorded comments from the NWA World Champion, Ric Flair. He taped these comments earlier today before getting into the jet for his next appearance. Ric Flair: Woooo!!! You are looking at the man who is the diamond in the rough that is the Mid Atlantic region. The limousine ridin’, jet flyin’, kiss stealin’, wheelin’ dealin’ son of a gun, Whooo!!! The one and only World’s Champion is here to stay, pal! I will get into the private jet, only as a World’s Champion can fly, and fly into the next town, defend this 15 pounds of gold and give another beautiful woman a ride of Space Mountain! Ricky Steamboat, I proved to you that I am THE MAN! I’m officially done with you and moving on. I don’t care who the next challenger proves to be, I will show him, just like you Steamboat, that I’m the Nature Boy! I’m The Champ! Whooo!!!! Tony Schiavone: When we return, we will have the United States Championship defended next! COMMERCIAL BREAK NWA United States Championship Match One-Fall, 60-Minute Time Limit Challenger, Sam Houston vs Champion, Randy Savage (w/ Miss Elizabeth) The action begins right away. Savage stalls immediately, locking up with Houston, but then bailing to the floor. The referee yells at him to return, and Savage eventually gets to the apron and returns to the ring. Sam patiently waits for Savage to be ready. They go to lock up and Savage bails to the floor. The crowd is booing him very loudly. Houston follow him out and the chase is on. Savage rolls into the ring, Houston follows him in, Savage drills him with a knee and immediately has the advantage now. Macho Man quickly goes on the offense. Working over Sam Houston with some quick offense. He drops a couple of hard knees to the upper torso. We go to a commercial break. COMMERCIAL BREAK When we return, Savage is wrenching a vicious chinlock as he berates the fans at ringside. The fans are cheering on Houston. He’s been worn down, but is battling to his feet. Savage grabs the hair and drags him to the mat. The referee, Tommy Young, misses the infraction, but talks to Savage anyways. The US Champion keeps the pressure on for the next few minutes, wearing him down with the chin lock and some strikes as well. He climbs the ropes and leaps with a double axe-handle for a two-count. Savage suplexes Houston over. He climbs up the ropes, points to the ceiling, leaps and misses the huge leaping elbow smash! Both men are on the mat. Savage is in pain, but still have a lot more energy at this point. He gets up first, but Houston quickly leaps to his feet, grabbing Savage with a rolling reverse cradle, and get’s 2 and ⅞’s! The crowd went nuts, but the match continues. Savage gets to his feet and levels Houston with a leaping clothesline. Savage stands up, shaking off the elbow he injured with the big leap off the ropes. Randy kicks at Houston then tries for a cover, but once again gets a two count. Savage tosses Houston to the floor through the second and top ropes. He climbs up the ropes, waiting for Houston to stumble into position. Savage leaps once more, but Houston sees him coming and moves away, Savage crashes into the barricade. Houston grabs Savage and pushes him into the ring. Savage has had the control of the match, but two BIG misses have put him in jeopardy of losing the title today. Both men get to their feet, Houston leaps and drops the champion with a dropkick. Houston covers him for a long two count. Both men work their way to their feet. Sam grabs Randy and whips him into the ropes, Sam tries for a backdrop, but Savage stops him, grabbing him and lifting him for a piledriver. Houston blocks the attempt. He backs off the piledriver and pushes Savage into the ropes, Houston rebounds off the opposite side and tries a clothesline, but Randy ducks, the both rebound off the ropes again, Houston leaps, cross body block, Tommy Young gets to the mat and only negotiates a two count. Both men are getting exhausted now. Savage seems injured based on the big misses. Houston is recovering from all the punishment from earlier in the contest. Houston pulls himself up in the corner. Savage rushes in with an elbow smash, but Houston moves, Randy nails the turnbuckle. Houston grabs Randy quickly and drops him hard to the mat with a running bulldog takedown. He covers for the 3-count! The crowd leaps in the air with excitement as we have a brand new US Champion!! Decision: New NWA United States Champion, Sam Houston! Time: 24:41 Bob: What a match, and a shocking decision! Sam Houston comes in and wins the United States Championship! What will this title change mean to MACW?! Join us next week here on World Wide Wrestling! So long, folks! Fade to black. Dark Match Main Event 20-Man Battle Royal Kamala wins the battle royal last eliminating Ricky Steamboat to earn the victory.

Mid Atlantic News & Notes It was announced by the MACW office this week that the next Supercard shown all across the Mid Atlantic Region via Closed Circuit will be on June 30th. The event will be held at the Charlotte Coliseum once again. The company wanted to try a different building for this second supercard, but just the way they had already booked venues, it worked out again for Charlotte. They have already looked into another show for the 3rd quarter and that date is tentatively set for September 29th. Rumor is they want to be in the Scope in Norfolk, VA for that show. Introduced recently was the addition of a second TV show for MACW, titled NWA World Wide Wrestling. The first few weeks were built as a huge deal with all the main players and a big Freebirds/Windhams/Savage angle. The idea behind the show is just to give some of the lower card guys a little more TV time. For the most part, if you are on World Wide this week, you won't be on the main show, or vise versa. This should help build the over all roster. A lot of rumors flying about the May 31 TV taping maybe a huge one for MACW. Details aren't being discussed outside of the offices, but everyone will be on hand for the taping. Unfortunately, we had some hiccups in getting house show results for the last month or so, but we believe we now have it all set again. Those should be getting regular updates again. A rumored program with Randy Savage and Ric Flair seems to be have been dropped without notice. Savage isn't happy about that, but word is that there is a very good reason for this. No one will speculate about this decision. This is why the Barry Windham program has been a focus as of late. He finished up with the Freebirds in the cage and Savage will battle Windham going forward. The Fabulous Freebirds were said to be happy to help put over Windham in recent weeks. They like him a lot and wanted to help a friend out. Kendall Windham has returned from his injury, as seen on TV recently. He will be back into the house show loop this week. We hear that Pez Whatley will be returning to house show loops soon as well, as he had been dealing with an injury as well. Ric Flair is booked for just about all the TV tapings and Saturday events for MACW in June. More to come when the new month is here.

Gentlemen, I have updated my own dates for the World Champion, Ric Flair through June. I have also added spots through end of September if anyone is planning that far out. If anyone has issues with my own dates in June, please let me know. Thank you.

I'm just catching up on Memphis and the CWA once again. I've really enjoyed all that I have read. Really a great job putting everything in place right off the bat. I echo just about all of the comments here. A very fun territory to enjoy.

Really fun show. Big card, lots of action. Great angles, debuts and title changes. Everything you look for in a big time super card type show.

Road Warriors fall to the Bodies AND Hogan loses in a count out. Wow. Good stuff.

Good afternoon, I have posted a catch-up on my TVs that were needed in the month or so I've been MIA. Very simple recaps, but I have TV's through this week updated. Still trying to figure out what else can be done going forward, but I'd like to keep going if at all possible. May have found a way to make it work. We will see. I will be back later this afternoon/evening to catch up on all the news and shows I've missed. I will not post any house shows since I've been gone. I will just keep moving forward from here. Thanks for your understanding. Patrick

They are reviewing the incident and will have a ruling next week. Ric Flair enters and cuts a livid promo on the NWA and the Board of Directors. No one said he couldn’t get DQ’d!

Barry and Kendall just look at him with disgust, but Barry takes the ring for the contest. Barry Windham defeated Terry Gordy with help from Randy Savage. The match is a really fun, well worked, well paced brawl. Terry gets the advantage and works over the champion. This is pitched on commentary like a Lumberjack Match. As both men have two corner-men for the contest. As Barry begins his comeback, the Freebird’s try to interfere. Kendall tries to get Savage to help him cut them off, but Savage doesn’t seem to care. Kendall jumps on the ‘birds anyways, so a 2-on-1 beat down occurs. Barry sees this and rushes to the floor to help his brother. Savage quickly removes his rope and climbs the buckles.

Steamboat isn’t a big fan of steel cage matches, but he gladly accepts this one. He wants to settle the score. Steamboat wants to see who really is better than the other. Which man is truly deserving to be called WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. That happens tomorrow. Match Two: Kamala and the Strongbow’s defeated The Scrap Iron’s and Italian Stallion. The usual beat down after the match happens. The Strongbow’s just yell to the crowd how they will all be owned by Akbar when he returns. The Freebirds arrive to the set to discuss the steel cage match tomorrow night. They are none to pleased that Savage interfered in their business. David Crockett says they brought that on themselves by attacking him weeks ago. They dismiss that fact and say that he will be ended inside the steel cage tomorrow. They will destroy three careers and they will take both of those single’s titles with them. Match Three: Chris Champion defeated Dusty Wolfe. Kamala and the Strongbow’s arrive once again and beat both men down. Kamala gives both men the big splash as referee’s arrrive to remove them from the ring. Ric Flair is interviewed about tomorrow night's title defense. He is screaming pissed at the NWA. He cannot believe that they have mandated he defend his title already. He just out lasted Steamboat just a couple of weeks ago. And on top of that inside a steel cage?! What are they thinking. He is the best talent in the world. But even he cannot control what happens inside the steel. What if he gets hurt? What will happen to the World Title? What will happen to his natural good looks?! Flair then laughs it off and says he’s the best wrestler in the world. He doesn’t worry about these things, he’s the Nature Boy! He’s the NWA World Heavyweight Champion, brother. He didn’t get to be the best by accident. Flair will prove it tonight, when he ends Steamboat’s title chances, and maybe even his career. May 27 World Wide Wrestling Mr. Fuji and Toru Tanaka defeated Lanny Poffo and Chris Champion Sam Houston and Terry Taylor defeated The Grappler’s They have a post-match interview. They simply say they are building up their tag team win/loss record and want to challenge for those US Tag Team Titles. Tiger Chung Lee defeated Jason Knight. Afterwards he piledrives him in the middle of the ring. The Moondogs battled Pat Patterson and Ray Stevens to a double-countout to end the show.

Done.

Great work, as always. Love the house show loops. We've talked about that before. They are so much fun to put together. Your TV's every week are just awesome. Great booking, you have the guys in great spots, you know how to present everyone. Bringing in Bobby Heenan and finding that line for him to walk, it's been very impressive. I always look forward to what is coming up next in Mid South!

I liked that turn. The events surrounding it, and the effective use of getting Patera into the number one challenger by his win over the champ. The newly heel Olympia can challenge Hogan if his running mate isn't successful on the 20th. Hogan's reign is in serious trouble. I also dig the run of the Road Warriors, proving their dominance over the division by retaining the titles at every defense, however the Heavenly Bodies are here and are pushing the champs to their limit, even gaining a DQ win recently. Could they be the Kryptonite to the Superman Road Warriors? Tito Santana is one of my underrated favorites of all-time. Fun to watch, especially defending the America's title around the horn. Getting out of no where wins, or going the time limit. He's a great wrestler to be in that role. I really enjoy his work here.

I agree with the statements above. The expansion has been working really well, and the amount of effort can be seen in everything you've been doing. The angle's have been super fun to read and the major events that happen on the bigger shows give those a special feeling. I've really enjoyed seeing the rise of the USWA, and it's continuing expansion.

Skandor Akbar is facing a punishment from the officials at MACW, but nothing has been announced as of yet.

As Flair struts off the set, Randy Savage appears and gets onto the set. He tells everyone that he’s the number one man in Mid Atlantic, and he’s the US champ and that makes him the number one challenger to the World’s Title.
