AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 10-24-90 A recap of Melee at the Mecca is shown. Larry Nelson: Hello everybody and welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling. I know we're all still reeling from Melee at the Mecca and we all know SuperClash 5 is coming, but before that we even get to that, the AWA will present a Title Night on November 15th. More on that later. Wow, a lot happening in the AWA. As for tonight, Tommy Jammer takes on Tom Brandi. The Soul Patrol will wrestle the Power Twins. Gary Hart will be here along with Konnan. And all four horsemen will be here tonight! Ok, let's get to the ring. Marcus Bagwell and Marc Mero vs. Ben Lloyd and Pete Wissman The AWA has noticed the potential in rookies Bagwell and Mero and decided to give them a chance to get some shine on TV. These guys are green but have some fire. They look pretty good and win the match with stereo sunset flips. Commercial Break Ricky Santana vs. Carl Kellerman Santana once again shows off his charisma and energy in the ring and wins the match with a flying knee drop from the top rope. Commercial Break The Soul Patrol vs. The Power Twins w/Ted Arcidi The bell rings and the Soul Patrol immediately double dropkick Arcidi out of the ring. The match starts with a hard hitting pier six brawl. Things eventually settle down and we get another back and forth match with both teams putting their muscles to work. After a few minutes of back and forth action, Arcidi trips Walker. Jones runs around the ring and punches Arcidi. Dave hops down and fights with Jones. Inside the ring, Larry slams Walker. Jones back drops Dave on the concrete. Larry swings off the ropes and Jones trips him. Larry staggers into a quick cradle by Walker 1..2..3!! The Soul Patrol celebrate up the aisle as Arcidi and the Power Twins start flipping over chairs in anger. Commercial Break We see a video of a big man with a total grunge look playing a guitar. Smoke is all around him with flashing lights going off. Maxx Payne is coming to the AWA! Nelson: Ok, Maxx Payne is on his way to the AWA. A very interesting individual indeed. Fans, my guest at this time calls himself the future, I'm talking about JW Storm. JW, you've been in a bit of a slump lately and people are saying you're not living up to your future moniker. Before Storm answers, out comes Austin Idol and Gary Young. Idol: Stand back Larry, I got this. (Looks at Storm) Listen darling, don't listen to all that bogus stuff. I'm telling you right now, you are the future daddy and you belong with winners. You can be a part of our future. Come on back and let me talk at you. There's a pause. Storm: Ok, you got my attention. Storm follows Idol and Young to the back. Commercial Break The British Bombers vs. Vic Dutro and Willie Lopez Smith hits the superplex as St. Clair follows with a senton for the win. The Bombers celebrate as the fans cheer. WHAM!! From behind the Bombers are hit with chains by Buzz Sawyer and the Missing Link! Sawyer and Link swing Smith to the ropes and double clothesline him with their chains. They wrap their chains around their hands and start punching away on St. Clair! Several officials and prelim wrestlers come out to stop this. Sawyer and Link leave the ring. They go over to a terrified Larry Nelson. Sawyer snatches the mic from him. Sawyer: (maniacal laugh) I want to thank the British Bombers for getting my suspension lifted. (more laughing) now the pain begins! Link lifts his chain towards Nelson and Nelson runs away. Commercial Break Konnan w/Gary Hart vs. Trent Watkins Konnan is aggressive tonight as Hart looks on. Hart gives a nod as Konnan executes his Konnan Crash for the win. Resnick: Gary Hart, you made yourself known at Melee and I have to ask, with all the rumors about somebody getting in Konnan's ear, was this your plan all along? Hart: Make no mistake about it, this was my master plan from the beginning. I have been watching what's been going on in the AWA and I saw the potential in this man (points at Konnan) This man is a true warrior with a fighter's heart. This man has all the tools. He's without a doubt the greatest wrestler to come out of Mexico and he will soon dominate the world. Gama Singh was holding him back and now Konnan's free. I will take Konnan to the highest levels never before imagined. This is the Konnan era! Commercial Break We see the familiar setting of an old ghost town in the desert. We see hands gripping a noose as the camera pans up to the Hangman. The camera then pans over to Nell. Nell: Time catches up to all souls. It caught up to Brutus Beefcake. It caught up to the Snowman and of course it caught up to that poor soul Texas Red. Along with time comes patience. Right now we're seeking out our next soul. So, I ask that you just be patient and while you're waiting, you can sit and wonder just who the next soul will be for us to take. Commercial Break 'Thrilling' Tom Brandi vs. 'Jamm'n' Tommy Jammer w/The Vin Man Vinnie arrogantly leads Jammer to the ring. The fans roar as Brandi sprints down the aisle.

Jammer staggers up as Brandi grabs him by the hair and hurls him over the top rope onto Vinnie! The match never officially started. Commercial Break Larry Nelson is standing in the ring. Nelson: Fans, on November 15th from the Sullivan Arena in Alaska, the AWA presents Title Night. On that night, Ric Flair will defend the AWA world title against Mr. Saito. Stan Hansen will defend the International title against Jumbo Tsuruta in a rematch from Melee. Latin Desire will defend the National tag titles against the Heavenly Bodies. And listen to this special attraction match. AWA World tag champs the Enforcers will team up with Dan Spivey to take on The Magnificent Muraco, Kerry Von Erich and the immortal Hulk Hogan! Wow! Ok, joining me now are the four horsemen, AWA tag team champs, the Enforcers, the figurehead Tully Blanchard and the AWA world champion, Ric Flair. The Horsemen enter the ring with the upmost confidence and swagger. Tully's about to talk but DAN SPIVEY enters the ring. Spivey: Hogan! You're still number one on my hit list but right now I need to eliminate a pest. (looks at the Horsemen) Don't worry about Von Erich! He's all mine!! Spivey exits. Tully: Well, that problem's solved. (smirks) you're on borrowed time Von Erich! Muraco, it felt so good to pull out my sling shot suplex and put your stupid face in the mat. It was even better watching the AWA world champ Ric Flair inflict pain and punishment with the figure four. As for you Hogan, you're going to be out manned by the world tag champs, the Enforcers. Zbyszko: You know I wonder what that spudhead Hulk Hogan is gonna do when he's out of his league with the tag champs at Title Night. Arn: It's real simple, we're tag team specialists and a cohesive unit. Von Erich's no match for Spivey. Muraco proved he doesn't have what it takes and as for you Hogan, all the kissing up to AWA higher ups won't help you at all when you're in there with the Horsemen! Tully: Talk to them champ! Flair: Hogan! I told you once and I'll tell you a hundred more times. You haven't earned a world title rematch and whether you like it or not, you'll never get another world title shot and that's final! As for Title Night, Mr. Saito, you're next in line and you'll fall just like the rest! It's that easy. I'm walking out of Alaska with my world title and as good as Saito is, he's not on my level, not even close and I'm taking him to school! WOOOOO!!! The show ends with the Horsemen standing tall.

AWA Melee at the Mecca Milwaukee WI 10-18-90 Ken Resnick: Hello everyone and welcome to this very special Sports Channel event, Melee at the Mecca, We've got a tremendous night of action ahead, so let's get to the ring. Dick Slater and Ron Garvin vs. The Professionals Professionals get the edge early with their superior technical skills but their arrogance gets in the way and allows Slater and Garvin to humble them with some hard hitting rough housing. Professionals get a bit desperate and change the momentum with some rule breaking. Rheingans catches Garvin in a gut wrench suplex as Graham follows things up with a back stabber but Garvin weathers the storm and eventually tags in Slater. Slater comes in with fists flying and cleans house. Moments later, the Professionals try to do some sneaky double teaming but Garvin runs in. The Ref gets order and while he guides Rheingans to the corner, Garvin nails Graham with a big punch as Slater follows with a Russian Leg Sweep. The Ref runs over and counts 1..2..3! Watch out champs, Slater and Garvin are in world tag title contention. Konnan vs. Gama Singh It's hard to believe that for most of the year, the Swords of Light were one of the most popular teams in the AWA. That all changed when Konnan attacked his partner Gama. The bell rings and Gama is out for vengeance as he takes it to Konnan. The opening moments is all Gama. Gama has Konnan bumping and reeling and almost finishes things off with a missile dropkick. Gama stays in control and executes a series of suplexes. Hold on! There's a commotion as somebody casually walks to ringside. Resnick: I know that man. That's Gary Hart! What's he doing here? Gary Hart stays calm and just stares into the ring. Gama is thrown off guard by Hart's presence and this allows Konnan to comes from behind and nail him with a low blow. Konnan regroups. As Gama slowly rises, Konnan swings off the ropes and puts Gama down with a forward roll clothesline. Konnan looks out at Hart. Hart taps the ropes and gives Konnan some kind of signal. Konnan hoists Gama up and executes his Konnan Crash (Samoan Drop) Hart makes another signal to Konnan. Konnan applies a single leg Boston Crab and wrenches away until Gama finally submits. Hart walks into the ring, shakes Konnan's hand and raises his arm. Well, I guess we know who's been in Konnan's ear. AWA World Tag Team Title Bout The Enforcers (C) vs. The Takano Dragons I think the Enforcers have been preoccupied lately with Horsemen business and haven't given the Takanos much thought. Well, they get a wake up call because the Takanos are here to win the titles and have the champs in serious trouble early on. Arn gets bumped all over and tags in Zbyszko, but he doesn't fare any better. The Takanos are on their A game and the fans can feel a title change. The Enforcers finally shift things and get in a solid segment. However, the Takanos come back hard and regain momentum. Shunji works over Zbyszko and tags George. Shunji executes a superplex and George follows with a diving splash from the top rope 1..2..Arn breaks it. Shunji grabs Arn, but Arn rakes his eyes and hurls him out of the ring. George staggers up as Arn DDT's him. The Ref guides Arn back as Zbyszko hits a swinging neckbreaker on George. Shunji gets to the apron as Arn runs across and sends him back down with a running forearm blast. Zbyszko covers George as the Ref counts 1..2..3! Enforcers retain. Carlos Colon vs. Col Debeers Debeers enters the ring holding his club. Colon comes to the ring with a baseball bat. The Ref is pleading with both men to release their weapons. Out of nowhere, Colon kicks Debeers and just pummels him with the bat! Colon is a madman as he hits Debeers over and over on his back. Several officials run in to try and stop him. Colon finally exits but the look in his eyes is terrifying. This one's a no contest. An advertisement for SuperClash 5 is shown. Friday January 2nd and Saturday January 3rd McNichols Arena, Denver Co. The Tribal Nation vs. The Guerreros These teams have been involved in some brawls and this match is no different. It's a highly competitive, hard hitting affair. Guerreros take control and almost put things away with a double suplex/stereo elbow drops. Tribal Nation regain control later on and almost win the match with stereo tomahawk chops from opposite turnbuckles. After 15 minutes of intensity, we get a pier six brawl. Chavo is thrown out of the ring. The Tribal Nation swing Hector to the ropes and double back drop him, then follow with double chops. The Ref guides Chris to his corner. Chavo comes back in the ring with a sack. He nails Mark over the head with it! The sack explodes and coins fly all over the ring. Chavo slides out of the ring. Hector rolls over and covers Mark as the Ref runs over and counts 1..2..3! Chris is a second too late. Chavo gets Hector out of the ring and they have a fun celebration up the aisle. AWA International Title Bout Stan Hansen (C) vs. Jumbo Tsuruta The physicality in this match is unbelievable. These two are stiff and rough. Both men go on rampages with suplexes and slams, knee drops, elbow drops and forearm blast exchanges. It's a brutal encounter.

Moments later, they have a furious exchange and fight to the outside. They fight all the way up the aisle resulting in a double countout. Hansen retains but I'm sure a rematch is coming. Hulk Hogan vs. 'Dangerous' Dan Spivey Tully has paid Spivey a lot of money to take Hogan out and we'll see if it pays off. Hogan's on the road to a rematch for the world title and says he's running through the Spivey obstacle. As soon as Hogan enters the ring the fight is on and the bell rings. Both men fire away with punches. Hogan gets the upper hand, punches Spivey with 3 big rights and clotheslines Spivey over the top rope. The place is electric as Hogan works the crowd. Spivey regroups and is pissed. Spivey gets on the apron but Hogan blasts him with a punch and suplexes the big man back in the ring. It's all Hogan as he has Spivey taking some big bumps.

Halloween Havoc is being built up so well. Luger brought up some great points. He seems to be focused on his title match with Sting but Sting might be distracted with Nikita's enemies. Then again, Sting seemed more focus than ever on Luger after wiping out the Russians. Doom's interference helps the Samoans win the US titles. Doom better be ready for a fight at Havoc Steamboat cuts a fire breathing promo on Muta. This match is going to rock! I'm not sure if Zenk's plan of pissing of Sid is going to pay off. But hey, I guess it doesn't hurt to play some mind games Jim Powers is getting some eerie messages by a mysterious individual Bobby Heenan has arrived! Wow, Heenan, JR, DDP, Bischoff . WCW has some top notch commentary The Dangerous Alliance is red hot right now, but Pillman and Hall might cool things off for them

Powerhouse match kicks things off as Han gets the strong win over Hashimikov. Ruas did an excellent job sticking to his game plan and remaining calm through Onita's aggression Fujinami's experience really came into play. Strong finishing sequence I give Suzuki credit, he came in knowing the odds were against him but gave it his all. Karelin was just to strong and experienced. And man did he look strong. I think Koslowski surprised Takada and the fans by putting up a tougher fight than expected. Takada rebounded well to advance. Sayama was in champion mode tonight with that decisive knock out win over Vrij Maeda kicks it into high gear and takes Koslowski down in a big way Wow, after an extremely close fought contest, Funaki gets his shining moment. Great card! Any of these winners could take this tournament.

PCO's guidance has reenergized the Money Train If I was in a faction, I'd definitely want Kawada with me Hmmmmm, we'll see if Severn's words sink in with Stormfront Regal and Malenko are technicians but can get down and brawl too Martel's been red hot while Scotty's been cooling off Nice preview for the Tournament of Lions finale Portland, Well, I guess Stormfront is literally going by the book The Midnights are rolling again Adams better be ready, because Windham's on his tail Lee proves he's still a dominant name Oh man, looks like trouble's brewing in the Terror. I wouldn't push Gordy too much. The man Busick retains again Eugene, Bigelow racks up another nice win Looks like the FOJ and Harlem Heat are heading for a tag title showdown Barr's rock'n as LHW champ. Douglas is winning his way back to a CA title rematch On that note, chalk up another title defense for Condrey

I guess thanks to Buzz Sawyer and the Missing Link, you two were reunited at the Royal Albert Hall. Smith: It's no secret that Les Thornton and I had some big differences with Tony. However, there was no way I was going to sit back and let two savages attack him in our home country. Les Thornton will remain in the UK but has made full amends with Tony. The British Bombers are back and united! Tony: That's right! We're reenergized and reunited! We want Buzz Sawyer and the Missing Link in the ring. However, Buzz is still suspended. Well, were making a plea to the C.O.O. Gerry Morrow to lift that suspension. Trust me, we're going to give Buzz a punishment that will be far worse than any suspension! Commercial Break King Kong Bundy vs. Pat Simms, Joel Cranston and Lee Torres Bundy destroys all 3 men, slams each one on top of each other and hits a big splash for the win. Bundy cuts a promo and says he's destroyed everybody in his path and it's time to go title hunting. Commercial Break Ken Resnick is standing in the middle of the ring. Resnick: Please welcome the immortal Hulk Hogan! Eye of the Tiger blasts and the fans are up and cheering as Hogan comes out wearing jeans and a tank top. Hogan gets in the ring and rips the tank top off. The place is electric. Resnick: Wow! Just listen to these people. Ok Hulkster, next Saturday night, right here on Sports Channel America, it'll be you and Dan Spivey at Melee at the Mecca. We all know Tully Blanchard paid him a lot of money to take you out of the world title picture. Hogan: Well you know something Killer Ken, there's nothing or nobody that can stop me from getting the world title back. That includes you Dan Spivey! At Melee at the Mecca, you're going to feel the power of Hulkamania! Boos as Dan Spivey runs into the ring! Hogan turns around and starts pounding away on Spivey! Hogan gives him 3 big shots and clotheslines him over the top rope! Spivey regroups and wants back in the ring but several officials, prelim wrestlers and security rush the scene to hold him back. Hogan looks down at Spivey and gives him the classic trap pose and begs him to get back in the ring. Spivey is irate as everybody holds him back. Commercial Break Larry Nelson announces that both Hogan and Spivey have been escorted out of the building Jimmy 'The Stud' Golden vs. Trent Watkins Golden beats his opponent up pretty bad before finishing him off with the piledriver Golden cuts a yelling promo and says he wants one more fight with Cactus Jack! Commercial Break The Heavenly Bodies vs. Ray Glader and Todd Rooney Prichard nails Rooney with a superkick and Landel finishes things off with the corkscrew elbow drop. Heavenly Bodies cut a promo and say Latin Desire simply don't have the charisma and it's only a matter of time before they take the National tag titles from them. Commercial Break 'The Modern Day Warrior' Kerry Von Erich vs. Carl Kellerman Von Erich back drops Kellerman. Kellerman staggers up as Kerry puts him down with the discus punch! OH NO! The Enforcers hit the ring and attack Kerry! They stomp down on him. Zbyszko picks Kerry up and gives him a swinging neckbreaker. Arn lifts Kerry up and drops him with the gord buster! The Enforcers come to ringside. Arn snatches the mic from Nelson. Arn: We warned you Kerry Von Erich. You stuck your nose in the horsemen's business and now there's a price to pay! Zbyszko: Simply put, you're on the list spudhead! Zbyszko tosses the mic on the ground. Commercial Break Gama Singh vs. William Hillman Gama wins the match with a back breaker followed by the Boston Crab Nelson: Gama, we were all shocked by the betrayal of your partner Konnan. Rumors are that someone's been in his ear. Gama: Konnan, the Swords of Light had something going. We were bonded and our flags waved in unison. I don't know what came over you or who you've been listening to but what you did was inexcusable and at Melee at the Mecca, I will look to settle the score. Commercial Break We see footage of the Takano Dragons on tour in Japan. They will get an AWA world tag title shot at Melee. Larry Nelson thinks the Enforcers have been too distracted lately and that might come back to bite them against the Takano Dragons. We see footage from the Royal Albert Hall when Gary Young hit David Sammartino with the TV title. Sammartino follows with a fired up promo and says he wants Young in the ring next week and he'll put the TV title on the line! Gary Young and Austin Idol follow with a live promo and call Sammartino an idiot and of course they accept his challenge. Austin says Young's a winner and will be the new TV champ come next week. Commercial Break Larry Nelson is in the middle of the ring Nelson: Joining me now are the AWA world champion, Ric Flair along with the horsemen figurehead, Tully Blanchard. Tully's wearing a suit and of course Flair's dressed to the nines, holding his world title. Nelson: Ric Flair, you'll be defending the AWA world title against the Magnificent Muraco next week at Melee at the Mecca. I'm sure you saw what happened last week when the horsemen jumped Muraco. Luckily, Kerry Von Erich was there to save the day. Tully: Oh yea and look what happens to wrestlers who want to be a hero. They get taken care of by the Horsemen! And Hulk Hogan, we heard your empty words tonight and rest assured Dan Spivey will take care of you. Tell them champ. Flair: Hogan! I told you, you don't get a shot at the title and that's final! WOOOO! I'm the world champ and I can do whatever I want! You can do that when your jet flying around the world defending the AWA world title. Canada, Mexico, the UK it doesn't matter, I walk out world champ! NOW! As for you Muraco, you're not in my league pal! In Milwaukee, I'm taking you to school... Cheers as The Magnificent Muraco comes out in street clothes. It looks like he just arrived to the arena. Muraco gets in the ring. Tully: Muraco! You really are dumber than you look. The Enforcers head to the ring and hop on the apron. Flair: Muraco, the Horsemen took out all your friends. Now it's time to knock some sense into you. Before the Enforcers can enter the ring, Muraco double clotheslines Flair and Tully down! Muraco quickly rolls out of the ring as the Enforcers enter. Muraco escapes through the cheering fans as the Horsemen throw an epic fit in the ring. Up Next- Texas Red vs. The Hangman w/Nell- Loser Leaves Town Texas Death Match

The Fantastics might carry this momentum into the 4 way match and onto a shot at the IC tag titles Loved the monster back to back squashes by Earthquake and OMG. These guys would be great contenders for Duggan and his IC title. Damn, just imagine those hard hitting brawls. We'll see if Volkoff can win over the fans Hillbilly Jim moves up a notch with a big win over Sheik Thanks to Slick, Nailz defeats an always game Silver King Tito gets the nice main event win over one of the Outlaws, Black Bart. Hopefully Tito gets a title shot at Funk. That's a fun match up.

AWA releases Les Thornton AWA picks up Mike Davis and Tommy Lane

Like Jarrett, I always enjoyed the work of SBS Very creative handicap match. The computer gimmick is great heat in this territory DAMN! The Road Warriors have arrived! I'm loving this build up! The eventual RWS/Steiners clash is going to be MONEY! POW was on one tonight. Austin's got so much momentum going. This was a huge night for him. Fuller's a territory legend and this really elevated Austin. Jimmy Hart just keeps finding ways for his team to hold on to the titles. I wonder if JYD is ok Crazy and puzzling ending to the main event. Looks like Bossman and Savage have a serious issue.
