Time to move on! Weaver asks the group who they would like to defend those titles against at the huge event. JJ once again steps in and says only the best competition.

They immediately bring out Mr. Wrestling II with Paul Jones. You can see the cockiness just oozing from them. Tony sends up to a clip from the end of World Wide Wrestling. We see the highly controversial victory that sent Rocky Johnson out of the NWA and Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling. Paul Jones and MW2 just laugh at the footage as we cut back to them. They don’t even have words to say, they are enjoying this so much. But then, all of a sudden, their mood changes. They start to flip out on set. Tony says that we are going to our first match, with a debut. Sweet Ebony Diamond defeated Swede Hanson in 3:26. Mr Wrestling II is not pleased at all! Paul Jones and II are screaming and throwing a fit on set. They are demanding that the cops be brought to ringside and have this guy arrested and sent to jail. They claim he is Rocky Johnson, but Tony and David play it off as this is not him. He is the newest signed talent to Mid Atlantic. Paul Jones and Mr. Wrestling II leave the set as the match ends vowing to get a hold of their attorneys about this.

COMMERCIAL BREAK 5 (4 was during the Six-Man Tag) Tony welcomes Bob Backlund to the set. Tony asks if the Board of Directors has said anything about his petition to a rematch against Ric Flair. Backlund explains that a response would be coming very soon. Backlund leaves MACW soon to head back to Lutte International, but he hopes that a compromise can be made so he can get a fair rematch for the NWA World Title. Bob Backlund defeated Tiger Chung Lee COMMERCIAL BREAK 6 The Great Kokina (w/ Mr. Fuji) defeated Salvatore Bellomo Mr. Fuji gloats about his monster easily defeating his opponent’s. They once again challenge Andre to a one-on-one contest. Andre has sent a pre-taped interview that says he will be at Starrcade ‘84, but it won’t be in a single’s match. However, he will be in Raleigh, NC on 12/27...and he has an open contract for Kokina to sign, for a one on one match. Fuji accepts and will sign that contract.

Good evening, Could I book Hansen, Brody, Abby & Andre for the following dates: 12/12 & 12/13 12/19 & 12/20 12/26, 12/27, 12/28, 12/29 & 12/30 (Minus Andre for the 30th, who is already booked for WWF)

The roster is just incredible. The fact you can run two different complete cards with all of these big names is very impressive. When is the WWF coming to Syracuse?! haha

I like how you use the tag team guys in high-profile singles matches. Gives everyone on the roster that added element to their character and resume. I'm the opposite, in that I put together so many guys for many different tag team combinations.

Who is this Four Horsemen you speak of?

They go right to clipped footage from The Omni. We see partial clips of the ending of the two steel cage matches. Not the actual endings, but where the video stops before a big spot, and the audio continues on for a moment. The last image we see is Flair, Blanchard, Stevens, Patterson & Dillon standing tall inside the steel cage over Backlund’s body showing off their championship belts. As we cut back to the stage with Tony and David, these four men with JJ Dillon arrive on the scene. All of them showing off their championship gold. So proud of themselves. Tony welcomes them to the show. JJ starts off first, proclaiming his predictions to be true. He has secured the greatest talent the WORLD has ever seen. Ric Flair takes over, announcing that not only does JJ have the United States Tag Team Champions under his tutelage, but he also has the contract of the greatest Television Champion of all-time in Tully Blanchard. Flair is happy to announce to the entire world that JJ also has secured the managerial contract of the NWA World’s Heavyweight Champion, Ric Flair. Whooo!! Tully steps up, and that means that we control ALL the gold in the NWA. They are not only the cream of the crop, they are 24-Karat baby. JJ steps back in and says that Tully Blanchard Enterprises has merged into the new conglomerate, simply known as 24-Karat. Simple right? You want in? Wear championship gold. They all strut back to the locker room. Tony and David discuss this new super group that has risen in the NWA as we go to the ring. Butcher & Mad Dog Vachon defeated Terry Gibbs & Rene Goulet. COMMERCIAL BREAK 1 Int. Bob Backlund comes out the set. He is not happy about the situation in Atlanta, and has already petitioned the Board of Directors for a rematch. He knows it is unlikely, as he already had a rematch, but he feels that the situation surrounding the steel cage match, will make it a fair enough argument to grant the rematch. Mr. Pogo (w/ Mr. Fuji) defeated Gary Royal COMMERCIAL BREAK 2 Pedro Morales defeated Jason Knight Int Mr Fuji once again challenges Andre the Giant to battle his monster Great Kokina. He offers up a number of options...pick the time, pick the place. COMMERCIAL BREAK 3 Mr. Fuji & Toru Tanaka defeated Pete Sanchez & Italian Stallion Tony and David discuss the Omni show once again.

Jay & Jules Strongbow defeated Paul Roma & Ray Apollo COMMERCIAL BREAK 5 Grappler #2 defeated Swede Hanson Int. Paul Jones is with Tony and he is happy as can be. He predicts that his boys will win the World Six-Man Tag Team Titles next week. He talks about getting Mr. Wrestling II a title match, and he has picked the United States Championship as that title. He challenges Magnum TA. He calls upon their past, he knows that Magnum still wants some of II, and II will give his protege his last lesson. Just accept the challenge. COMMERCIAL BREAK 6 Paul Jones is still with Tony, and Mr. Wrestling II has joined them. He wanted to come out and make the challenge himself. Wrestling II wants to end the reign of Magnum himself. However, Rocky Johnson walks out to the set to a decent pop. He says he has a challenge of his own, for this week on World Wide Wrestling, and he wants to challenge Wrestling II to a rematch from Atlanta. He knows II loaded up that mask of his and used it to cheat to win. II denies that, and says he’s already defeated Rocky. He has nothing to prove. Rocky says that he will get his revenge, but he’s a fair man. Name your price. Paul Jones steps in and says II will accept the challenge, if Rocky puts his wrestling career on the line. II defeats Rocky on World Wide, Rocky leaves the NWA. Rocky is shocked, and pauses, thinking it over. Magnum TA comes out for his match, but he stops by the set. Magnum offers that he’ll be in Rocky’s corner to keep Paul Jones at bay. Rocky accepts. Magnum says he’s looking forward to watching Rocky get some revenge. Magnum TA defeated Tiger Chung Lee in a non-title match. COMMERCIAL BREAK 7 Int Sir Oliver Humperdink He comes out pissed off. He is not a happy man. His boys didn’t win back the Six-Man titles. He brings out The Moondogs. Before they even get to the set, Spot & Rex turn on Moretti and destroy him in the aisle and entrance area. Humperdink tells Tony that he blames Moretti for their loss. He was always the weak link. He is firing Moretti right there on the spot. They leave their former partner laying right in front of the set.

He tries to fight them off, but they drag him off to the locker room. During the commotion, Rocky tries to leave the ring, but II gives him a low blow. The referee misses the cheap shot. II loads the mask again, this time dropping a headbutt from the second rope to gain the victory. Rocky Johnson must leave the NWA.

I agree with this. Everyone has great ideas, and great talent, but some mix better than others. That's why I love the open trading option we have. After we have used some talent for a bit, we can exchange them with another territory and freshen up rosters, ideas and angles. But still keep some of our main players that we really like and build our companies around. Also, I love the TV format here. It flows perfectly, it really fits the mid 80s era, but the main events are just through the roof. The talent here, and some of these main events are incredible. I echo the statements of seeing Hogan wrestle on the syndicated shows. You got to hear him every week, but to see him wrestling, that was a very rare piece of business. Love it, great stuff...as always. I think this happens to most of us. I had the same problem with Bob Backlund with Lutte Internationale. Despite knowing I had a great talent in my hands, I just couldn't figure out what to do with him and then I sent him to Mid-Atlantic and Patrick is booking a fantastic feud between he and Ric Flair. I think we all stumble through that kind of stuff in which we're comfortable to find stuff for some guys but not for others. Ultimately, I think that the strength of our project is that we seemingly always find someone who'll make things work for a wrestler that we can't seem to find something good to write about.

Love the Midnight's angle. Parking lot beat down, suspension. Attacking from all angles, and when they do show up for a house show, it's a street fight. Fun angle for me. So many moving parts with this territory, you never know what is coming next, and that makes for an even better read. Love the work.

Fun tournament. Stacked lineup, each of the main matches could have been main events ANYWHERE. Love tag team wrestling, and this seemed like a lot of fun. The major titles matches in between the tournament rolled real nicely through as well. Super fun show.

NWA: Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling News and Notes: The next big hyped show for MACW is out of Atlanta and the Omni. This will be taped for a VHS release later in the year. This is why we are seeing the main programs climax inside a Steel Cage. Bob Backlund and Ric Flair was a program we were going to see going into Starrcade, but it was decided to finish it here, at least for now. Tully Blanchard and "Superstar" Graham will also be decided at the Omni inside a cage. This was set up at Fall Brawl and a special attraction during a Lutte International show. More on the relationship with Lutte in a few. There maybe one more announced cage match for this show, but nothing is official at this time. Mid Atlantic and Lutte International have always had a good working relationship in the past. Recently, it has started to grow. We have seen a non-title brawl to help set up the cage match for Tully and Superstar. There is talk of an invitation into the NWA for Lutte, and details and contracts are still being discussed. MACW is hoping to get Lutte to participate in this year's Starrcade, on Christmas night from Greensboro, NC. A small roster change took place after Fall Brawl, which usually does after big closed circuit event for MACW. A trade with USWA took place, and saw Rocky Johnson and Mr. Wrestling II enter the territory. Some concern about losing younger talents and bringing in some older talents, but the idea will be to let the younger talents work with the older veterans in the coming weeks to give them better experience. The first round of house shows will just to get them over with the audience. With a lot of the major territories expanding all over the country this year, and MACW only growing into Georgia, some are feeling the pressure to expand further. However, MACW is comfortable in their area right now. The NWA would like to grow, and become more of an international presence, but nothing has been said as to how they'd like to go about that. That's all the news for this round. Good day everyone!

Just as a note: I in error had a match originally listed on 10/7 with Tully Blanchard. But I had him with Lutte Wrestling that day. That was my mistake in trying to catch up, I remembered to keep Superstar Graham off the show, but I put Tully on it.. I have since changed it to with an replacement announced. Sorry for the screw up, and thanks for pointing it out to me.

The main event of Fall Brawl, a NWA World Heavyweight Championship Match. The All-American wrestler, Bob Backlund against the World champion, Ric Flair. NWA World Heavyweight Championship Match One-Fall, 60-Minute Time Limit Challenger Bob Backlund vs Champion “Nature Boy” Ric Flair Technical match for the ages. The powerful, but quick challenger against the witty, “dirtiest player in the game” technical champion. They battle back and forth. Going blow to blow, hold for hold for the first 20 minutes. Flair finally reaches into his bag of tricks to gain the advantage. He grabs a leg and starts to work on it, but he has to fight for it. Backlund is so strong, he’s able to work a great defense. Even though Flair is the aggressor and working the holds, Backlund doesn’t let Flair have anything too long, and looks to be in great condition, even though he’s still on defense. Flair tries for the Figure-Four, but is cradled up for a two-count. Flair is a little frustrated at this point, but Backlund gets to his feet and turns the momentum into his favor. He start to deliver some heavy, powerful shot and grapples to the champion. Flair is on the defensive badly, and rolls to the floor to try and break it up. Backlund follows, and Flair gets him tricked and pushes him into the ring post. Flair rolls him back into the ring for a two-count. Flair feels confident again, working on the leg and knee of the challenger. Backlund is more hurt, and is getting more of the punishment now. But a small mistake by Flair sends him crashing into the turnbuckles after a Backlund push off. Backlund almost gets the win with a rolling cradle. Flair bails to the floor, grabs the title belt and walks around the ring. It looks like he’s trying to leave the ringside. Bob follows him out, and grabs Flair by the hair and tosses him back into the ring. As Backlund returns to the ring, Flair uses the belt against Backlund head to cause the DQ. Bob is bleeding now, Flair just poses in the ring, but as Backlund seems to shake it off and rise up, Flair bails with his title belt and runs toward the locker room. The crowd is hot at the finish, and applaud Backlund for his performance. Time: 43:01 Decision: Bob Backlund, via DQ, Ric Flair retains the NWA World Championship

September 27, 1984 TV Taping (WCW Airing 9/28 and WWW Airing 9/30) Roanoke, VA Civic Center World Championship Wrestling airing at 4:05pm on WTBS this week due to the Live Closed Circuit Event later this evening.

When we tape the other matches for this week’s show, the normal multi-camera shoot is used to make it seem like they are “live” for the rest of the show. Tony and David welcome everyone to the show. They discuss the Flair vs Morales match that will begin tonight’s show. Flair defending the title two nights before their Fall Brawl event against Pedro Morales! They run down the entire card before we head to the ring for the NWA World Title Match!
