Great job building up Starrcade. A lot of this year's big feuds will have some epic blow offs-Sting/Luger in the cage, Dangerous Alliance/Pilman/Steamboat/Muta, Doom/Rockers, Demolition/Samoans and of course we'll see who really rules the world between Sid and Gigante. Nikita and Barb are going to rock that chain match. I agree with the squash match descriptions, I got some good laughs. You and A.D. sure make squashes entertaining for the readers. WCW had one hell of a year. Starrcade's definitely going to end it on a high note

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 12-12-91 Footage from last week is shown as Dan Spivey hoists Kerry Von Erich up in a crucifix position and drops him through the announcer's table. Larry Nelson: Hello everybody and welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling. Fans, I want to let you know that Kerry Von Erich spent a night in the hospital but left on his own volition. I can say he didn't break any bones and has stated that nothing will keep him from getting his hands on Spivey at SuperClash. I know he didn't break any bones but my goodness was he banged up really bad. Not to mention he was extremely dazed and incoherent before leaving... Boos as Dan Spivey storms out and snatches the mic from Larry Nelson. Spivey: Kerry Von Erich! If by some miraculous miracle you show up at SuperClash, what happened to you last week will be nothing compared to what I do to you in Denver! You interfered in my business with the Horsemen and costed me a lot of money. At SuperClash, I'm coming to collect by whipping your ass! Spivey throws the mic at Nelson and storms off. Nelson: Good grief, that's going to be a colossal collision at SuperClash! Ok, let's get to the ring. The Professionals vs. The Rock n Roll RPMs These two teams have developed a rivalry of late. The Pros have stated that the RPMs are nothing but a couple of pretty boy punks that give wrestling a bad image. The RPMs have said the Pros can't keep up with an experienced team as themselves. Both teams will be involved in the 10 man elimination match at Superclash. The match is back and forth. The RPMs use their speed and high octane offense to throw the Pros off guard. The Pros comes back and put their technical skills to use. The tide turns several times until the 10 minute time limit expires. After the match. the RPMs start to exit but the Pros jump them from behind. Both teams fight to the outside and into the commercial break. Commercial Break The Magnificent Muraco vs. Neil Jordan Muraco is aggressive tonight and wins the match with an inverted piledriver. As Muraco gets his arm raised, TULLY BLANCHARD comes down the aisle with a microphone. Tully: Hey Muraco! How are you buddy? Muraco is heated and heads to the ropes but before he can exit he's nailed from behind with a chair by BILL DUNDEE! Dundee hits Muraco's back a couple times with the chair, then slams Muraco on the chair. Dundee goes to the top rope and hits his Bombs Away on Muraco. Tully nods and heads to the back. Nelson: Bill Dundee! What the heck are you doing back in the AWA and what was that all about? Dundee: Muraco! Did you think I would forget all about what happened last year? I lost my Superstar moniker because of you and your manager Billy Graham. Well, Billy Boy's no longer around and when Tully called me and updated me on what's going on, I didn't hesitate one minute to represent him at SuperClash. So, let me be crystal clear Muraco. The real Superstar is back! See you at SuperClash beach bum! Commercial Break Nelson: Well, it's pretty clear that we now know who Muraco will be wrestling at SuperClash. Remember, if Muraco defeats Dundee, he gets 5 minutes with Tully Blanchard. Geez, I can't imagine what Muraco will do to Tully for 5 minutes. Fans, here to give us a special performance, Maxx Payne. Payne's at the top of the aisle. He's in total grunge gear and starts jamming on his guitar. He plays until the commercial break. Commercial Break When we get back, Payne is still jamming on his guitar. Tom Brandi is heading out for an interview. Payne gets distracted and stops playing. Payne gives Brandi a long and harsh stare as Brandi heads down the aisle. Nelson: It appears Maxx Payne forgot about the time during his riveting performance. Ok, with me now is Tom Brandi. Tom, you'll be a part of the 10 man elimination match at SuperClash. Tommy Jammer will be on the other side. You two have been going at it for months and next week will go one on one right here. Before Brandi can talk, Maxx Payne walks over. Payne: You just made the biggest mistake of your life. Nobody interrupts me and my guitar Norma Jean. Payne walks away leaving Nelson and Brandi puzzled. Brandi regroups and cuts a promo on Tommy Jammer and the Vin Man regarding SuperClash and next week's match. Bobby Blaze vs. Ricky Santana w/Austin Idol Before the match, Idol cuts a promo and says he has unfinished business with Blaze and the Takanos. He reminds everyone how they cheated him and the Starrs out of a win at WrestleRock. Idol says things will be rectified at SuperClash when his Idols defeat those 3 stooges for the 6 man titles. The match is fast paced. Blaze comes out with serious momentum and hip tosses, dropkicks, back drops and slams Santana all over the place. Interference by Idol helps Santana get control. Santana hits a flying press but Blaze kicks out. Santana works Blaze over with some hard shots and slams and almost wins the match with a flying knee but Blaze survives. Santana goes for a suplex but Blaze fights it and executes his Northern Lights Suplex on Santana 1..2..3! Idol hits the ring but Blaze rolls out and celebrates with the fans. Commercial Break We see a special press conference from Japan. The media is hyping up the Jumbo Tsuruta/Mr. Saito SuperClash match. Jumbo and Saito stand at the top of the stage as flashes from cameras light up the room. No doubt about it, the Japanese media will be all over this match at SuperClash. We then see Ron Garvin and Dick Slater standing in front of a SuperClash banner. Their right hands are still bandaged up from the Enforcer's parking lot attack. Garvin and Slater hold up their bandaged up hands and say the Enforcers did a pretty good job but they must be stupid if they think we can only punch with our right hands. They go on to say at SuperClash they're going to bust up the Enforcers faces and take the world titles! Cactus Jack vs. Todd Rooney Jack's all over Rooney and wins the match with a double arm DDT! OH NO! Nell leads Hangman to the ring. Hangman clotheslines Jack from behind! Nell tosses Hangman his noose. Hangman wraps the noose around Jack's neck and hurls him over the top rope! Nelson: My goodness! He's hanging Cactus Jack! Hangman pulls the noose hard. Jack's hanging over the top rope. Jack's actually screaming and laughing! Prelim wrestlers and officials storm out. Nell calmly walks into the ring and touches Hangman's shoulder. Hangman releases the noose. Cactus falls to the floor and is coughing and still laughing. The man's crazy. Commercial Break 'Mad Dog' Buzz Sawyer and The Missing Link vs. Samson Smith and Ray Glader Sawyer and Link brutally beat up their poor opponents. Link hits a diving headbutt and Sawyer follows with a powerslam for the win. Sawyer and Link grab their chains and head to ringside to a very nervous Larry Nelson. Sawyer: (manacle laugh) You scared Larry? I'll tell you who better be scared. Those British wimps better be scared because this is what's coming to them at SuperClash! Sawyer and Link take their chains back into the ring and start beating up their fallen opponents with them. Sawyer drags one poor soul to the camera and yells "Time to play Bombers!" Link and Sawyer roll up their chains and knock the dudes out. Commercial Break AWA National Tag Champ Al Perez vs. 'Heavenly Body' Tom Prichard Footage from last week is shown as Prichard helps his partner Buddy Landel get the win over Lou Perez. However, it looks like Landel may have injured his ankle. Perez is relentless as he takes it to Prichard. Perez scores several near falls but Prichard stays alive. Prichard comes back and has a good segment but can't put Perez away. Landel comes out on crutches and starts bad mouthing the Ref. While the Ref is distracted with Landel, Lou Perez hits the ring and gives Prichard an overhead suplex. Lou exits. Al hoists Prichard up and hits the helicopter drop. The Ref turns around, runs over and counts 1..2..3! Landel is pissed as Latin Desire celebrate and hold up the National titles. Commercial Break Nelson: Fans, what a night this has been. Tensions are at an all time high as we head to SuperClash. Speaking of SuperClash, my guest at this time will be wrestling for the AWA world title. I'm talking about the immortal Hulk Hogan! Eye of the Tiger blasts as Hogan storms into the ring and rips his shirt off. Nelson: Hulk, I can tell your pumped up tonight. It's you and Ric Flair in the rematch of the century for the world title at SuperClash. Hogan: Well you know something Lethal Larry, ever since WrestleRock brother, all I could think about was regaining the AWA world title from that weasel Ric Flair. I'm making a promise to all.... Boos as Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard and the Enforcers stroll into the ring. Flair grabs the mic. Flair: Hogan! I want you to take a good look around brother. Have you noticed something? All your friends are gone, taken out courtesy of the Horsemen. Why? Because that's what the Horsemen do. All of them Hogan! Gone! Oh wait, my mistake. You're the last man standing immortal one. And then there was one. Not for long! Flair hits Hogan with the mic and all the Horsemen join in! The Enforcers and Tully put the boots to Hogan. The Enforcers hold Hogan as Flair slaps his face. Flair clamps on the figure four as the Enforcers and Tully stomp down on Hogan. Flair wrenches away. Hold on. AWA C.O.O. Gerry Morrow heads out and grabs a mic. Morrow: Mr. Flair. you will release the hold immediately! If you don't, I will strip you of de AWA world title! Now, kindly release the hold. Flair and the Horsemen are beyond pissed and eventually back off. Morrow: You made de right decision Mr. Flair. I will see you and Hogan in de ring next week because I have a very important announcement to make regarding SuperClash. Hogan starts to slowly limp up, but security quickly gets in there. If we thought the Horsemen were pissed just look at Hogan's face. He tries lunging at the Horsemen but Security uses all their strength to hold him back. The Horsemen and Morrow have words as Flair taunts Hogan.

Billy Jack vs Ace is a fun match up between old schoolers. I love the idea of year end awards. I might have to copy this from you Great descriptions for the squash matches. It gives us a good visual with creativity. I wouldn't want to be Slick after hearing Brown's resolution. That's true, Chono does have a cool factor to him Benoit and Dynamite is a nice passing of the torch program I like how you acknowledge the changing times but you're right, a flag waiver is appreciated and respected. SNME is loaded! I can't wait for the next Funk/Dusty one on one explosion and this time for the title. The tag match should be a great set up for that LOL, I could see Sherri and Lou having a war of words

Pretty in Pink equals heat magnets here They do get the heat with a beat down on poor Tony Williams. Luckily Morton makes the save and we've got an angle. Itchy Richie, what a name LOL. Hotbody takes care of business.

A lot went down at the Omni. Sting and Luger are set up for the big Starrcade blow off in the cage! Rude wins the US title! Starrcade's looking strong with the Dangerous Alliance taking on their biggest foes, Nikita and Barb in a Russian Chain match, Rockers get their rematch and El Gigante will try and stop Sid from ruling the world Stay strong buddy. I hope things get better for you

The Thrillseekers looking ahead to 91 Hmmmm, I guess Lee is flying solo and it looks to be paying off Mark my words, the Italian Stallion is going to have a big 91 For being just one man, Finlay's causing a lot of stress for the Money Train. Shows that Finlay's one bad dude The explosion finally happened. You just can't talk to Gordy like that. Looking forward to seeing how the Man of Means handles this Liger solidifies his title win with another hard fought victory over Barr Hahahaha Rose's mind games are the best but unfortunately they didn't work on Martel. Vancouver Even in defeat, Finaly's not going to back off Sabu is another guy to watch in 91 The Citadel bounces back in a big way Regal and Malenko will carry their feud into the new year Iron and Steel are off and running with a solid reign ahead The Hitman solidifies his title win by once again defeating Dibiase Kelowna Nice win for Hash. Beating Tenryu is a big deal Scotty's woes continue while Windham's on a hot streak again Rob Z shined in 90 and it's only the beginning Strong title defense for the Force Heck of a weekend for Liger. Visually stunning finish Douglas's confidence is at an all time high 90 was an incredible ride. PCW will only get better in 91

Nelson: Marcus, Marc, you two have impressed a lot of people and now you've been given a spot on the Superclash card. You'll be facing a debuting team called the Bunkhouse Boys. Are you concerned about facing a team you know nothing about? Bagwell and Mero take turns stating it doesn't matter who they face, they're coming to SuperClash to make names for themselves and they're pumped up and ready for anyone. Commercial Break Footage from last week is shown as The Enforcers brutally attack Dick Slater and Ron Garvin in the parking lot. Nelson: Fans, the Enforcers have been banned from TV this week for their actions. We understand that Slater and Garvin suffered damage to their right hands but that's all we know. We'll hear from Slater and Garvin next week. Back to the ring. The Guerreros vs. Vic Dutro and Willie Lopez Guerreros win the match with a double rib buster Guerreros cut a promo on their SuperClash tornado match with the Tribal Nation. They say of course those cheating Youngbloods would want a match like this because they love breaking all the rules. The Guerreros promise to bring the clean back to wrestling and rid the AWA of scum like those dirty Youngbloods. Commercial Break Col. Debeers vs. Todd Rooney Debeers toys with his opponent and finishes him off with a front face piledriver. Debeers puts his foot on his opponent's chest and twirls his mustache. The Fans explode as CARLOS COLON hits the ring and clotheslines Debeers from behind! Colon has an actual whip in his hand and starts brutally whipping Debeers! Colon has evil in his eyes as he whips down on the back of Debeers. Officials run in the ring. Colon backs off and looks down at the bleeding back of Debeers.

Commercial Break We hear pre recorded comments from Tully Blanchard standing in front of a SuperClash banner. Tully: Well it appears Don Muraco is in cahoots with AWA C.O.O. Gerry Morrow. Muraco! Don't think for one minute this scares me. You see, you have made a lot of enemies in the past but one man really wants another crack at you. Well, thanks to me he's going to get it at SuperClash. Muraco, wake up! There's no way you're getting 5 minutes in the ring with me. And Morrow, nice try buddy but the Horsemen are always one step ahead! We then see Stan Hansen in front of a SuperClash banner with bandaged ribs and a wad of tobacco in his mouth. Hansen: Bundy! You fat slob! You tried to hit me with your best shot but I'm still standing boy! You're going to need a lot more than that at SuperClash if you want to take my International title and put me down! All you did was make me mad and I'm taking all that anger out on you boy! King Kong Bundy vs. 3 Poor Talents Bundy swings all three men into the corner and Avalanches all of them. Bundy slams them down on top of each other and hits the Big Splash followed by his mandatory 5 count. Bundy cuts a promo and says he's going to steamroll and squash Hansen like a bug at SuperClash! Bundy says the International title is his because he's going to take it! Commercial Break Nelson: Fans, with me now is Kerry Von Erich. Kerry, at SuoperClash you're going face to face with Dan Spivey. He was paid by the Horsemen to terminate Hulk Hogan but I know he wasn't expecting you to join in on things. Kerry: I told Hulk Hogan I would even things up and back him up. Spivey's talked a big game about taking me out of the equation but I'm not going anywhere... WHAM! Nelson ducks for cover as Spivey blasts Kerry from behind! Spivey pounds away on Kerry and swings him into the steel post! Spivey hoists Kerry up in a crucifix position and drops him through the announcer's table!!! The fans are breathless. Announcers and officials frantically surround Kerry and call for help.

Nell says Cactus Jack thinks pain is fun but promises that the Hangman will prove that poor soul wrong. AWA National Tag Champ Lou Perez vs. 'Heavenly Body' Buddy Landel Both men promised their partners would stay away from ringside during the match. We get a fun match. Perez outwrestles Landel and scores several near falls. Landel comes back after an eye rake and works over Perez. Landel gets some near falls but can't put Perez away.

Eye of the Tiger blasts as Hogan hits the ring. He looks fired up tonight. Nelson: Hulk, I know you were in the back with Kerry. How's he doing? Hogan: Well you know something Lethal Larry, Kerry Von Erich is a modern day warrior brother and he's made of steel. Trust me when I say this, he'll be at SuperClash and Dan Spivey just made the biggest mistake of his life! BOOOOOOS as Ric Flair and Tully Blanchard arrogantly enter the ring wearing suits. Flair puts his world title on his shoulder. Nelson: Hey come on now. Your time was next. After everything that went down tonight, we don't need this. Tully: Shut up Nelson! (Looks at Hogan) One by one all the enemies of the Horsemen are being taken to the hospital. If I were you Hogan, I would listen to the undisputed world champion Ric Flair. Flair: (taps the world title) Instead of crying a tear for Kerry Von Erich, you better be focused on the task at hand big man. For 6 months I've been defending this here world title all over the globe and all people kept saying was that I've been ducking you. Hogan, you've been whining and crying about your rematch because you couldn't handle losing in the first place. Well, now you got your shot, but Hogan I beat you once and I'll do it again! I said I was going to slap your face and I'm gonna do it! Flair slaps Hogan's face! Hogan unloads on Flair! Tully joins in. Hogan fights both men but the odds eventually get the best of him.

See previous post for full SuperClash card

Koko and Zenk make a fun high flying duo. I could see them gaining a following Loved the Berzerker, Earthquake match descriptions Jake always stays relevant with his promos alone Speaking of promos, King Kevin is fired up Man, Silver King has been on a hot streak Benoit getting more ruthless Funk vs, Rhodes, one more time. Let's do it! Power and Glory will be tough challengers for Ronin

I always loved this idea Feel free to do something with the upcoming Flair/Hogan SuperClash match

I agree with AD. Don't feel bad about time constraints. Your match details have amazed us all, so don't worry about that. Scott gets a cool submission win in a fun fast paced opener Nagai definitely brought a lot of energy tonight but Kanemoto seemed more focused and finished with a nice sequence The tag team bouts were full of excitement. I really liked the contrast between the two. The fans were treated to several different fighting styles. The first bout ends with a painful submission while the second ended with a devastating knockout. I had to catch my breath after these bouts. Ruas did pretty good but man as the match went on, Karelin really came on strong and finished strongly. He really is a machine. Maeda and Takada battled! It's amazing how strong Maeda is after 20 brutal minutes. Maeda earned that one while Takada definitely bounced back from his Vader loss. Maeda vs. Karelin in the finals! That's going to be awesome!!!

Man, it's really cool having your unique shows back. Morton gets the focus tonight with a solid promo and good hearted win Wild Dog will be fun to watch

After a big show like the Clash, it's always good to have a cool down show to regroup. Things are going to get interesting if Muta joins in the fight against the Dangerous Alliance The fans in Atlanta have a nice Omni card coming

JYD, Rich and Valiant start the night on a high note. Good hands to have I like what you're doing with the Destruction Crew. They've already been set up as serious contenders Taylor shows he's a different man in Memphis this time around. Loved the twist in the TV title bout. Wallstreet will get good heat. Austin will want vengeance and now you've set up an awesome feud with Medusa and Nakano. Great touch having Anvil use an actual Anvil. Fun blow off The Road Warriors and RnR put on a classic. The write up was so realistic. Warriors get the win but RnR keep their respect and stay strong. Great match! Ok we've got a real family feud going on. Lawler brings the fire and things have escalated. I have a feeling the Prince might end up paying for that. Bossman and Savage tore the house down! Awesome write up! You did an amazing job with Bossman in using him to help take Savage from ultimate heel to ultimate babyface. Bossman's title reign may have been short but it was damn memorable. Looking forward to Savage's reign. Outstanding job!

I love that all the SS winners get rewarded with a chance at the coveted number 30 Royal Rumble spot. This is a great idea because it's the perfect segue from Survivor Series to Royal Rumble.
