Bad News is totally in character of being a loner. I love the ultimatum Tatanka and Z Man could be the stars that shine in 91 The SS is really heating up. Each elimination match means something. The promos have done a really good job of hyping it up. At this point in their careers, it makes sense for Snuka and Andre to team up. They're legends and could have one last big hurrah Damn! Vader's the man! I can't imagine who's going to want to step up to him.

The Russians are quickly making an impact The WWF is really cashing in on the Japanese talent. Sasaki shined with that finisher The way you've built up both men, Warrior vs. Berzerker is a damn good main event Boston I've mentioned this before, but I like how you've kept mainstays like Snuka and Sheik. They fill out the WWF cards well Hmmmmmm, I wonder who Frenchy has brought in Herc's always dangerous with his chain Bruti takes down the Ace Just like the tag team division, the Nasty Boys are on fire Bad News and OMG rock the house Oh man, the world champ defending against the King. Great main event. Kev and Haku are heading for an explosive showdown.

Nice recap of Havoc and now off to the Clash Looking forward to the battle royal and who Sting will face Rockers better be ready because Doom's in the zone Sid wants Sting but might have to go toe to toe with El Gigante first With all the big men here, I can't wait to see who the Undertaker faces Who knows, maybe Pillman could get Muta on his side Luger makes it known he's getting the title back Oh man after losing the US titles to the Freebirds, the Samoans are coming for Demolition's heads. I like the direction WCW is going. 1990 is going to end on an epic high note

It's Halloween in Memphis so of course Batman's got to go over POW is revealed. Christopher's in a pretty hot angle right now. Next TV will be very interesting JJ avoids the mist and gets the solid win RnR pump the fans up with the always over double dropkick to retain I'm enjoying the fun mid card matches. Rich, Valiant and JYD still have the name value and are contributing a lot to the scene. I guess the computer was right after all. Austin's really finding his groove Thanks to Christopher, Anvil pounds the Hammer After a great build up, the Road Warriors win the dream match against the Steiners. Smart move with the leg injury. It leaves the door open for a rematch. This could be a huge money making program What a great gimmick match to end the night. After that performance, could the Macho Man become the new king in Memphis???

Finlay's taking apart the Money Train piece by piece With Rob Z's style, it was only a matter of time until the fans took a liking to him 2 Cold shows he's still a serious LHW contender Old Hollywood Jack takes advantage and gets the W Martel's still at the top of his game Portland Awkward 6 man tag with Stormfront coming out on top Windham gets passed the Bulldozer and is ready for Adams The MVC better be ready because Iron and Steel are coming after them Wow, Busick ekes out that win over Albright to retain Nice sportsmanship by the MVC Dibiase vs. Rose! I love it! It's so fun seeing a rare heel vs. heel match. Very entertaining Eugene The Italian Stallion is mowing over competition Bobby gets a beautiful win SOB's still riding that wave Jericho evens things up with the Midnights Liger wins a thriller and might be in line for a title shot PCO should be entitled to a third match

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 11-7-90 Larry Nelson: Hello everybody and welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling. Huge main event as the Enforcers defend the AWA world tag titles against the Soul Patrol. The Rock n Roll RPMs team up with Tom Brandi to take on The Professionals and Tommy Jammer. Mr. Saito will be in action. Also, we'll hear comments from the AWA world champ Ric Flair. Ok, let's go to the ring. Mr. Saito vs. Ray Glader Saito is tuning up for his AWA world title match against Ric Flair, next week at Title Night. Saito batters his opponent with several thrusts and palm strikes before finishing him off with the Saito Suplex! Nelson comments that Ric Flair is going to have his hands full in Alaska when he meets Mr. Saito. Commercial Break El Canek vs. Todd Rooney Canek makes his return after another successful tour of Mexico. Canek looks damn good and wins the match with a gorilla press/rib breaker. Canek joins Larry Nelson at ringside. Nelson hypes up Canek's accomplishments and calls him the greatest wrestler to come out of Mexico. Boos as Gary Hart walks out. Nelson: Come on Gary, this isn't your time. Hart: I'm making it my time. Mr. Nelson, I take great offense by you claiming that this man is the greatest wrestler to come out of Mexico. I know for a fact that Konnan deserves that honor. Now, El Canek's resume is surely impressive but his time has come and gone. Konnan is the new era and with him comes a modern style of Luche Libre. It's time to bury the past and that means it's time to send El Canek into the sunset. Canek steps up to Gary but Gary calmly walks away. Commercial Break The RPM's and 'Thrilling' Tom Brandi vs. The Professionals and 'Jamm'n' Tommy Jammer w/ The Vin Man We get a fun back and forth match. Jammer and Brandi have been at each other and tonight they get in their heated exchanges. The RPMs put their speed and chemistry in full throttle. The Professionals slow the pace with technical wrestling and submission holds. Tensions rise when the Pros and Jammer start breaking the rules along with some interference by Vinnie. This leads to a pier six brawl. Vinnie hops on the apron as the RPMs stereo dropkick the Pros out of the ring. Brandi dropkicks Jammer into Vinnie. Vinnie goes flying as Brandi rolls up Jammer 1..2..3! Commercial Break SuperClash 5 Live on pay per view From the McNichols Arena in Denver Co. Friday Jan. 2nd and Saturday Jan. 3rd Jumbo Tsuruta vs. Arnie Goldstein Tsuruta destroys his poor opponent and wins the match with a powerbomb! Nelson: Fans, next week at Title Night, Jumbo Tsuruta gets his rematch for the International title against Stan Hansen. We just saw that Jumbo is more than ready. Let's hear some comments from Stan Hansen. Hansen's wearing his cowboy hat, has a mouth full of tobacco and the title on his shoulder. Hansen: Jumbo Tsuruta! I hated you in Japan and I hate you here! Next week in Alaska, I'm going to beat you to a pulp and leave you lying! There's aint no damn way you're taking this here title from me! Commercial Break Ricky Santana vs. Carl Kellerman Ricky once again brings the charisma and wins the match with a flying elbow drop from the top rope. Nelson: Ricky, come on over. You've been a lot of fun to watch and I know how excited you are to be in the AWA. Boos as Austin Idol, Gary Young and JW Storm stroll out. Idol: That's right daddy, the Universal Heartthrob is here along with Gorgeous Gary Young and the future JW Storm. I'm here to talk to you Ricky Santana. I have to say, you've got that cool factor darling. I'm talking Caribbean coolness brother. As you can see, I'm forming a stable of winners. I like to call this stable Austin's Idols. Now, we need one more piece to complete this puzzle and then it's on with the master plan. Bottom line is we want you in Austin's Idols baby! Come with us and trust me, you won't regret it. Austin, Young and Storm head out. Ricky pauses, looks around and then follows them up the aisle. Commercial Break AWA TV Champ David Sammartino vs. Clinton Stitch Sammartino wins the match with a belly to belly suplex. Sammartino cuts a promo and says he's ready to defend the TV title against Iceman Parsons next week at Title Night. He says he's also been well aware of Jacquline's constant interference and has an ace up his sleeve. Commercial Break Col Debeers vs. Trent Watkins Debeers wins the match with a front face piledriver. Nelson: Col. Debeers, I think you've awaken a beast in Carlos Colon. He says he's going to win this war no matter what. Debeers: Never before have I heard such a ridiculous statement from an untouchable like Carlos Colon. He thinks because he hit me a few times with a baseball bat, that I'm going to be intimidated. Let me show you what's in store for that bottom feeder Colon. Debeers picks up his club. As his recent opponent Trent Watkins staggers away, Debeers nails him from behind with the club! Debeers brutally beats down on Watkins with the club until several officials run out to stop this madness. Commercial Break Gama Singh vs. Neil Jordan Gama is now trying to get back on track as a solo wrestler. He looks crisp tonight and wins the match with the Indian Deathlock. Commercial Break AWA World Tag Team Title Bout The Enforcers w/Tully Blanchard vs. The Soul Patrol Next week the Enforcers will be in the special attraction 6 man match at Title Night. The Soul Patrol were owed this title match and man they could really throw the Horsemen off their game if they win here tonight. The Soul Patrol bring their A game and dominate the first segment by pinballing the Enforcers all over the ring. Both Arn and Zbyszko are bumping like crazy. After getting stereo clotheslined over the top rope, Tully runs over and regroups his team. The Enforcers do regroup and take control. The Enforcers methodically work over Walker's arm and almost get the win when Zbyszko hammerlock slams Walker and holds his arm as Arn comes off the top rope with a knee to the arm. Luckily Jones ran in to make the save. Walker eventually tags in Jones. Jones cleans house for a while but the Enforcers come back. Tully runs around the ring, yanks Walker off and slams him arm first into the steel post. In the ring, Zbyszko executes a swinging neckbreaker on Jones. Arn swings Jones to the ropes and hits the spinebuster for the win! Tully snatches the titles, gets on the ring and hands them to the Enforcers. Hold on! Ted Arcidi and the Power Twins come out. Dave picks up Walker and bearhug runs him into the steel post. Power Twin Larry gets in the ring and bearhug slams Jones into the mat. Arcidi leads them out as the Horsemen laugh. Tully, Arn and Zbyszko head to ringside. Tully: Hogan! Von Erich and especially you Muraco! I hope you were watching because you're all next! Zbyszko: You three spudheads aren't going to Alaska, you're coming into Larry Land and you're not coming out! Arn: The bigger they are, the harder the Horsemen put down! Muraco! You're out of your depth! And as for you Von Erich. You're going to rue the day you ever got in the Horsemen's business. That's a promise from Dan Spivey! And as for you Hogan. We're going to see to it that you never get that world title shot! Tully: That's a fact! And a painful one! Commercial Break Nelson: Wow, what a show this has been. Listen to this. Next week, the British Bombers will face Buzz Sawyer and the Missing Link. My goodness! Also, we'll see the debut of the Missouri Tiger. Now, next Saturday's Title Night in Alaska, Ric Flair will defend the AWA world title against Mr. Saito. Let's hear comments from the world champ, Ric Flair. Flair's wearing a suit with the title on his shoulder. Flair: You know there's a lot going on in the AWA and everybody wants to know what's causing all this! That's what happens when the Nature Boy's wearing the gold! I've defended this title all over the world and next stop is Alaska. Mr. Saito, I can outwrestle you! I can outclass you and brother I can out party you. I'm taking you to school in Alaska and it's as simple as that. Then I have to wonder, who's left. Well, one thing's for sure, it's not going to be you Hulk Hogan. Hahahahaha WOOOOO!

Chono's Yakuza kick is really getting over King Kev adds muscle to his team Uncle Ivan shows up and serves notice to the WWF that the Russians are here! Ivan can play a key role here as the leader and mouthpiece. This is going to be great Sherri takes a verbal jab at King Kev Jake with menacing words. I'm looking forward to his role at SS Alright! The Z-Man has arrived. He has the right look and energy to go far here The main event gets wild and serves as an excellent set up for SS. It's always funny watching Funk lose his mind. You're definitely on the right track to SS.

Wolverine and Magneto, yep it's Halloween To me, Silver King's win over Raymond is a big deal. Thos definitely moves Silver King up a level Brutus beats the Sheik in a fun veteran's match up Nikolai and Boris will fight another day The Ronin have been unstoppable since winning the titles. Cool seeing the tag title match as the main event Worcester Big things ahead for both Tatanka and Warlord Nasty Boys are making waves as they defeat the former champs The King is getting his chance to shine in the WWF LOL, I can just imagine Slick sprinting away from Bad News That must have been a sight to see watching Tugboat go down to Chono's big kick Duggan and his 2x4 send the fans home happy. I mentioned the tag title main event at the Cumberland arena. The IC title match closes this show. You've really put importance on these titles and have shown faith that they can be big draws.

Fuke's experience was definitely the key factor here. Yamada kept the pressure on and finished strong Wow, Kanemoto went on an onslaught at the end. Great finishing sequence If Anjo had something to prove then mission accomplished as he gets a big submission win Han was going toe to toe and hung in there, but in the end, Karelin worked him over pretty good to advance. Takada is rebounding well from last year's loss to Vader. Takada just might be the sleeper this year Oh man, I thought Sayama was so locked in the zone that he would take Ruas, but the guillotine suplex was the beginning of the end for the champ. I know the crowd was stunned, so was I. Maeda vs. Fujinami is a money maker and these two delivered. Maeda gets the win to advance. I can't wait for the semis. Those are some great match ups. Tonight was an exciting show. It was a good mix of future stars and legendary vets.

The tone is set right off the bat. The scene is electric! Always a good idea kicking off a big event with the babyfaces winning a 6 man tag Well, Z-Man had a lot of confidence going in but Sid shows why he rules the world Damn! Doom-Davey/Owen tear it up! One of the best street fights ever. After that win, Doom's ready for a title shot Rockers retain but looks like they still have to walk a little further down Bad Street Poor Jim Powers. RIP. The Undertaker has arrived Nikita gets to shine with a solid US title defense. Also satisfying with Uncle Ivan watching The Diamond Stud makes the business decision of a lifetime by hooking up with the Dangerous Alliance. Smart move but now he's got Pillman to deal with. However, Pillman's going to need some serious back up As expected, Muta and Steamboat put on an absolute show stealing match. The best part is, we're probably going to get another classic between them. This match was awesome! The united Demolition take care of the Samoans in a wild one It all comes down to Luger and Sting for all the marbles. After months of build, the fans get the epic pay off as Sting wins the world title and stands tall to end an incredible night of action. You really described the atmosphere to perfection. The commentary, interviews, non stop action and of course the Halloween vibe. Outstanding job and I'm glad you got the pictures up. WCW is going to end 1990 with a bang and I can't imagine what Starrcade will be like.

AWA takes Frank Anderson and drops

AWA takes Jeff Farmer

Stormfront are having a lot of fun bending the rules Lighting Kid wants a LHW title reign in 91 I said PCO lit a fire under the Money Train but it looks like he's done the same with Finlay. I don't think anything is going to stop Douglas from getting that CA title Hart's more than tuned up and ready for the man of means Vancouver, Regal's on another roll. Big win over the former TV champ Harlem Heat is rapidly rising the tag ranks Martel ekes out the win over the Bulldozer Karachi Crunch= Game Over Speaking of game over. Nobody gets up from the Spinebuster Slam! Hart's tuned up but so is Dibiase Kelowna, Money Train keeps the fire burning Adams puts another down with the superkick Iron and Steel vs. the MVC is the money match I've been waiting for. Can't wait! SOB continue to ride that wave of fun Barr's been rock'n that LHW title PCO takes Condrey to the limit. I wonder if these kinds of title defenses will finally catch up when he meets Douglas.

And Cactus Jack clashes with Jimmy Golden, one last time. All that and a lot more, so lets go to the ring. Carlos Colon vs. Neil Jordan Colon gets the fans pumped up as he wins the match with a diving clothesline from the top rope. Colon grabs his baseball bat and goes to ringside. We see footage from Melee at the Mecca. Colon brutally attacks Col Debeers with a baseball bat. Nelson: Carlos, I know you've been through some bloody wars here but I've never seen you this intense. Colon: Col Debeers declared a war on me (holds up his bat) and I promise you that I will win this war by any means necessary! Commercial Break The Equalizer vs. Harold Bannister Equalizer just mauls his opponent and wins the match with a stomp on the mid section from the middle ropes. Equalizer huffs and puffs as he walks around the ring, then heads back up the aisle. Commercial Break We see a camera pan over a football field. It zooms in on a muscular man running up the steps. He's wearing a football jersey with number 46 on the back. We then see a quick montage of the man doing various football drills. The Missouri Tiger is coming soon to the AWA! The Takano Dragons and Bobby Blaze vs. Samson Smith, Todd Rooney and Stu Jersky Shunji hits a superplex as George follows with a frog splash. George tags in Blaze, who finishes things off with a Northern Lights Suplex. Commercial Break Winner gets a TV title shot at Title Night Leo Burke vs. Iceman Parsons w/Jacqueline These two wrestled to a draw a few weeks ago and now the stakes are high. Thanks to a distraction by Jackie, Parsons gets in a hard shot from behind and controls early. Burke takes a good pounding but manages to fire up and make a tremendous comeback. These guys go all out for the next few minutes with several near falls between them. The fans go wild as Burke clamps on the sleeper! Burke wrenches away. Jackie is on the apron yelling at the Ref.

Right as Burke turns around, Parsons nails him with the Hip Attack! The Ref counts 1..2..just as he hits 3, the bell rings. Jackie gets in the ring and raises Parsons arm. The Ref is over checking with the timekeeper. Now they're trying to figure out if the bell rang before he made the 3 count. Burke staggers up and has words for Jackie. Things get heated as several officials run in to keep things calm. The Ref is watching a replay. After a few viewings the Ref talks with the ring announcer. It's announced that the 3 count was made before the bell, so Iceman Parsons is the winner. The fans boo. Jackie and Parsons taunt and laugh at Burke. Burke breaks free of the officials and nails Parsons with a running forearm blast that sends Parsons through the ropes. Jackie's screaming at Burke as officials hold Burke back. Commercial Break Tribal Nation vs. Ray Glader and Mike Bowman The Youngbloods are aggressive tonight and win the match with double tomahawk chops from opposite turnbuckles. We see footage from Melee as the Guerreros defeat Tribal Nation thanks to an exploding bag of coins. Tribal Nation cut a promo and say they want the Guerreros anytime and anywhere, but it better be soon! Commercial Break Nelson: Fans, our next Title Night comes to the Sullivan Arena in Alaska on Saturday November 15th. As you know Ric Flair will defend the AWA world title against Mr. Saito. Also on that card, my guests at this time, Latin Desire will defend the AWA National tag titles against the Heavenly Bodies. Before Latin Desire can talk, the Heavenly Bodies strut out. Landel: You know, it's a damn shame that two of the ugliest guys I've ever seen are holding the National tag team titles. You two greaseballs should just save yourselves the embarrassment of getting out classed in the ring and just hand over those title right now! Prichard: Budro, you're absolutely right. I mean come on, we're better looking, we definitely have the better hair and without a doubt, we're the better team. It really is that obvious. Heavenly Bodies have a great laugh. Latin Desire take off the belts and gently set them down. They motion for the Heavenly Bodies to take them. Landel: Well, that wasn't so hard, was it? The Heavenly Bodies go to pick them up. Latin Desire smile and start pounding away on the Heavenly Bodies. They hurl them into the ring. Lou's pounding on Prichard in the corner. Al's all over Landel in the opposite corner. Latin Desire swing the Heavenly Bodies into each other. They collide and stagger back as Latin Desire grab them and hit stereo atomic drops. The Heavenly Bodies crash into each other and fall through the ropes. Latin Desire grab their titles. Al: Heavenly Bodies! We'll see you at Title Night! But these titles are staying with us! Commercial Break Dick Slater and Ron Garvin vs. Carl Kellerman and Dean Reynolds Garvin nails Kellerman with his hands of stone punch. Slater finishes things off with a Russian Leg Sweep. Garvin and Slater cut a promo and say there's no need for talk, we've done enough in the ring and we want a shot at the AWA world tag titles! Commercial Break Cactus Jack vs. Jimmy 'The Stud' Golden These two have had some brutal and intense brawls. They both agreed to one more and here we go!

Jack picks up Golden and drops him with a double arm DDT. Jack picks up Golden and hits another double arm DDT 1..2..3! Jack sits up, smiles and gives a Bang Bang! Commercial Break Larry Nelson is in the ring. Nelson: Fans, as you heard last week, at Title Night there will be a special 6 man attraction match. The AWA world tag champs, the Enforcers will team with Dangerous Dan Spivey to take on my guests at this time, Kerry Von Erich, the Magnificent Muraco and the immortal Hulk Hogan! Eye of the Tiger blasts as Kerry, Muraco and Hogan head up the aisle and into the ring. Hogan high fives Kerry and Muraco. Nelson: You guys have all had issues with the Horsemen and Dan Spivey. Muraco, I know you especially have had a problem with Tully Blanchard. Muraco: Blanchard! You costed me my chance at the world title! You snuck in like a coward when my back was turned. That's what a weasel like you would do. I'm telling you right now Blanchard, if you stick your nose in this match, I'm going to knock your head off your shoulders! Nelson: Ok, strong words. Now, Kerry, Dan Spivey had some choice words for you last week. Von Erich: You know Larry Nelson, I made it crystal clear that I wouldn't just sit back and let the Horsemen gang up on whoever they wanted to. They're nothing but bullies and to take care of a bully, you punch them in the mouth! The Horsemen love playing the numbers game, but let's see how tough they are when the numbers are even. Dan Spivey, you're serving as some kind of hitman for the Horsemen and if you have a problem with me, then we will settle it in the ring! Nelson: Ok Hulk, Ric Flair has vowed that you will never get another title shot. The Enforcers and Dan Spivey have been quite the obstacles for you. Hogan: Well you know something Lethal Larry. I made a promise to all my Hulkamaniacs that Hulk Hogan would once again become AWA world champion. Right now, I'm making a promise that Hulk Hogan will indeed be world champion again and there's nothing that Ric Flair can do about it! But right now, I'm focused on the task at hand brother. I'm talking about the Enforcers and Dan Spivey. Well, I've got two bad dudes standing side by side with Hulkamania. And at Title Night, we're going to bulldozer right over those goons and henchmen and we'll be standing tall at the end. So, Enforcers, Dan Spivey, whatcha gonna do when the Modern Day Warrior, the Magnificent One and Hulkamania run wild on youuuuuuuuuuuuuu! The show ends with Hogan ripping off his shirt as Kerry and Muraco soak it all in.

I'm always excited to see which rookies PCW will mold
