SECW keeps the June Jam momentum going! Things are going to another level with Cooley and Madril. Madril pulls a big stunt to barely escape with his title. The mystery of the masked Thunderbolt is solved! Paterson taking off his mask was a great TV moment. LOL, Hamilton is revealed at the house show after Scott regains the Jr. Championship. All around great angle. Super Ninja is revealed as Ron Slinker. Slinker is fired up now. Nightmares get revenge on the Rat Pack in a tar and feather match but as we saw at Tag War, this feud is far from over. Mike Jackson had a pretty good week. Kendo and Kabuki are becoming more and more dangerous which really sets up their cage match with the Road Warriors as something huge. Jones Army seems to have gotten the best of the Freebirds this week but I know the Birds will be back with a vengeance. Bullet Bob finds a great replacement for Brad in Mr. Olympia as they put down Stomper and Humungous.

Oh man, I know Fuji wasn't happy with Super Ninja taking the fall and he shows it after the match. Classic Southern mixed person 6 man tag with the faces prevailing. I'm really liking the Cooley/Madril feud and looks like we're going to get more. LOL! I can just picture the Nightmares new look. That's a fun booking angle. Freebirds and Jones Army continue their heated feud. It's always strange seeing Flair without a title. WOW! Bullet Bob gets a BIG win over Humungous to retain.

Cant wait for the next Herc/Peterson match! Talk about hard hitting. Nice qualifying matches as Jay Youngblood looks good over the Nightmare and Jimmy Jam defeats Houston. Jimmy Jam and Precious are back home. JYD and Dr. D at Star Wars! YES! That will draw nothing but money. LOL, Cornette has a fit as it's announced the Blackjacks get another shot, this time in a tornado match. Those Blackjacks do pretty well in those types of matches. HUGE UPSET! Little brother Kendall comes in and defeats Murdoch on TV! Needless to say, Kendall just got over quick with the fans.

Solid opening round matches on TV. Love Landel! Rude advances but Heenan seems to be more focused on Bad News and his upcoming match with Hogan. Big Jim impresses with a win over Ox. Neidhart advances with a hard hitting win over Sweetan. High Flyers continue to get massive heat and gets involved in the big LH title rematch. Would love to see Brad and Dynamite take on the High Flyers.

It means the men you see with me will be world champions on July 16th! There's no way those muscle headed face painting freaks can match the power of Decimation. And what's Hogan going to do when he gets in the ring with an international legend and wrestling extraordinaire like Tsuruta. The man has all the tools to become world champion! Stan Stasiak is going to rule the AWA! Lance: Ok, there you have it. Summer Blast 84! So much happening in TNT. Let's go to the ring as we have a rematch from the Louisville card.

Fans, at the Gardens we saw an addition to the Hart Family as the self proclaimed King, Carl Fergie attacked Jerry Lawler. We'll see Fergie in action tonight but right now, please welcome out Jerry The King Lawler! Massive cheers Lawler: That little Wiesel Jimmy Hart did it again. Let me tell you something Big Mouth. There's only one King in Memphis brother and you're looking at him. It seems Hart's stooges like to interfere in mine and Dream Machine's matches. Well I think I have a solution. July 16, at Summer Blast, the 3 stooges against myself, Dream Machine and a mystery partner...Inside a Steel Cage! You misfits have the guts? Let's just see how tough that wannabe football player, cheap Elvis impersonator and court jester really are! Personally I think they're all Jack Asses and gutless! Lance: Oh my! The challenge has been made. Ok, when we come back the team of Stampede Rush.

And that's not all, just wait until you see who else I'm bringing in baby! Lance: Well, there you have it from Johnny V. Fans, TNT wrestling would like to congratulate Brad Armstrong on winning the AWA Light Heavyweight Title from the Dynamite Kid in a classic match from SECW's big June Jam Extravaganza. New champ Brad Armstrong will defend that title against the winner of the Denny Brown/Steve O series. Match 2 happens right now.

I guess we'll see how this ends next week. Commercial Break Lance: Fans, next week in San Antonio, TV Champ Tully Blanchard will be in action, the Guererros return as a team.

(Looks at Tito) I know what you've been doing. Don't you people see what's been going on? Tito Santana came in here and rubbed shoulders with me and manipulated his way into a TNT title shot. You might have been able to fool everybody here but you don't fool me. You could of just been man enough and challenged me to a match face to face. Tito: Hold on Terry, I don't know what you're talking about. All I did was watch your back a couple times. As far as my title match goes, I earned it. I don't play games. I compete in the ring and the goal is to become champion. I'm a competitor, simple as that. Terry: (Slow clap) You're real good. Bravo. You can spin it however you want but at Summer Blast, there's no way you're taking this title from me. You don't stand a chance! The show ends with an intense stare down.

Love that RnR vs. Texas Red/Spoiler match! Billy Jack impresses in the 6 man tag. He looks to be the Playboy's next challenger. Adonis looked strong in that win against Zenk. Awesome main event! Hart's are coming in with some serious momentum.

Johnson vs. Ventura, Andre vs. Khan. Some big time matches on the loop.

Nice follow up show. Spivey avenges his loss and appears to be heading for big things. Like the French Revolution and they debut strong. LOL, Rose is gold on the mic. Man, with The Polish Prince and the Pretty Boy by his side, it's going to be a tough task getting the belt off Rose. Cobra gets the win tonight but I know Wakamatsu's men are plotting revenge. Another win for the brigade as Perez gets an impressive pin on Boyd. So far the Brigade is doing a great job of watching each others backs. Fun main event as the Harts debut! Harts take care of the Starrs while CanCon takes care of Flowers and Embry. Good idea adding a tag title because your tag division is stacked!

The old timers are back together and look as tough as ever. Gibson will benefit by hanging around these guys. I wonder who Graham was referring to??? The plot thickens between Rude and Baby Doll. Nikita takes advantage and sickles Gilbert! Lot's of intrigue surrounds the Young Lions final. A lot at stake in the three corners tag title match. One team walks away with the titles, the other's leave for a year. Will Hulkamania prevail over Bad News??? Heenan says No Way! Cant wait for Canada Day!

TNT releases Rick Link and picks up Gino Brito Jr.

I really like the push DJ Peterson is getting. Add a battle royal win to his resume. JYD is looking strong with some C.O. wins over Herc. Islanders are having good matches. I'm hoping they will get a shot at the Midnight Express. Grappler and Windham had some good draws. Keeps both guys strong.

Good grief what a show!!! June Jam 3 went above and beyond expectations as 41,000 fans witnessed a true supercard. Randy Rose gets the fans going with a big win over a red hot Super Ninja. Akbar brings in OMG and he delivers by taking down Golden. The Masked Thunderbolt mystery continues as another masked man helps Street and Scott Armstrong get one over on Rogers and Masked Thunderbolt. OH Man! Madril comes to town and immediately takes the Mississippi title from Cooley. Using the chain guarantees a rematch. LOL, feel good moment for the crowd as the Rat Pack shaves the heads of the Nightmares. Brad Armstrong defeats Dynamite Kid for the Light Heavy title!!! Fantastic match! Brad will make a great champ. Freebirds win round 1 over Paul Jones Army. The big story is Gordy getting the fall on Humungous. That's huge. Kendo and Kabuki do some damage to the Road Warriors but Precious Paul vows revenge. WOW!!!!! Bullet Bob defeats Flair for the title! Incredible! That match leaves 41,000 fans happy. Awesome main event. Alabama and Lee Greenwood is icing on the cake. Well done Gene!

Jessie Ventura is back! Great promo and follows it up with a win. You have made Fleming and Horowitz into one of the hottest tag teams in the game. Holding Robinson and Quinn to a draw is pretty damn impressive. Looks like we're heading into a wild Magnum/Animal feud! This is the kind of feud that will make Magnum a superstar here. Johnson has some serious momentum going as TV champ, this time defeating the Superstar. Rougeaus and Albano's monsters has been a crazy feud. The Rougeaus making them bleed shows how tough they are. The Snuka/Backlund war continues and in MSG, they will meet in the CAGE!!!!

I agree, Valentine is going to go all out to get revenge on Gino. So far a lot of people have felt the wrath of Valentine. Cool seeing Bret Hart come to town and defend his title. Cuban Assassin had a great run as champ but as mentioned above, he was one of Valentine's victims. The Russians are causing some serious havoc. Boomer and Rufus are involved in a fun feud. Cant wait for the inevitable Gino/Valentine match!

Well, I hate to do this but after a successful run, TNT puts Nick Bockwinkle on the trade block.

All good my friend, life happens. Good to see you back.

You're doing a tremendous job! You have the feel of the territory and era down to perfection. New title coming...YES! I like the push Conway is getting and now he's building up quite an army. Just ask Jose Lothario. WCCW better watch out! Grappler gets over in the ring and on the mic. What a segment as Cornette debuts and spoils the Blackjacks moment. Things get worse as the Midnight Express come in and win the titles! At least the Blackjacks had one last run. Nobody gets heat with words like Dr. D! Man that guy is going to cause riots. His feud with JYD will be MONEY! Kevin beats Bass to advance. I think Kevin can focus now that the Freebirds are gone. Cant wait for Independence Day Star Wars! Already a guaranteed sell out.

The action continues in Stampede! Ciclon looked like he was heading into a typical squash until Big Jim showed up. Big Jim debuts with an impact! Love what you're doing with Landell. He's coming off as a big star. Ware and Sugar get a solid TV win over McGhee and Gibson. Fun main event as things get crazy with Gagne's goons and Mutoh's mist. The AWA guys and Stampede boys are heading for an explosive showdown. Speaking of showdowns, Hogan signs the dotted line but gets some Bad News as HEENAN is now the manager of Allen! Shocker! Cant wait for the Spectacular.

Great lineup! Super Ninja is racking up the wins. I really like creativity you added to the Armstrong/Thunderbolt feud. Rich and Armstrong get some payback over the Nightmares. Oh yea I knew the mixed tag match was coming. Hard to beat the Street/Linda duo. Freebirds debut with a win over credible vets Wild match as the Bullet and Wildcat stand toe to toe with the monsters Stomper and Humungous. Flair costs Brad his match with Jake. Flair better be careful because I'm sure Bullet will remember this during their upcoming match at June Jam. The main event was worth the price of admission. Kendo and Kabuki get a BIG win over Golden and Rose. Fuji has his men looking unstoppable.

TNT releases Scott Ferris and picks up Duke Myers

I couldn't wait for this BIG card and man did it deliver! Even though the California Cowboys got the win, Spivey and Rotunda gain the fans respect. Great win for LaFleur but he suffers a 2 on 1 beatdown until DINO BRAVO arrives! Awesome debut! Hito and Fuchi win a battle but this war rages on. This has become a gem feud. What happened to Slater???? Vachons send the Zambuie Express packing after a brutal last showdown. Man, if Flowers was hard to unseat before it's going to be almost impossible to get the title now with the Starr's protecting him. Haynes beats Hickerson and Rose isn't happy. I wonder who Rose reached out to? Cant wait to find out. Piper gets back in title contention with a HUGE win over Bundy. RnR take care of the East West Connection. I loved these matches. Adams was oh so close but the time expires and once again Rose walks away as champ. Great job as some feuds finish and new stories begin.

LOL, I cant wait to hear Stu's response to Verne as things are heading for a showdown. Looking forward to Koloff and Gilbert. I have a feeling Gilbert has something up his sleeve. He's going to need something when he goes up against the Russian Nightmare. Seems like Martel outsmarted the Brain. Oh man, Graham, Robley and Bass might be in big trouble as Crusher is bringing in some partners. Landel wins promo of the night as he makes a bold statement. Great TV main event that ends in chaos and leaves the fans wanting more. Great job! Really love the way your building up the territory war.

I agree, your Backlund promos are my favorites. Man, Fleming, Horowitz and Horner are rolling as they pick up another big win over Blassie's men. Like that team of Quinn and Robinson. Andre shows his dominance over 2 men. Big win for Magnum as he takes Steele over with the belly to belly. Magnum's star is rapidly rising. Rocky retains over the Superstar. Blassie had a tough night. Snuka gets the fall in the tag match which must have infuriated Backlund LOL. The Rougeaus are together and united! They get the big win but the war is still raging with Albano's monsters.

It was Gino!!!!! It was Gino all along! Awesome payoff! That entire angle was brilliant. I cant wait to see what Gino has planned. Don Kent is out to prove a point. Wild main event as Abdullah puts down Steamboat then Dory adds to it. Funk/Steamboat will be a fun feud. The heels in Florida are running wild with Gino, House of Humperdink and now the Russians. On the other side of the fence is Dusty, Orndorff and Wahoo. Jeez so much talent!
