Really loving Bad News here. Young Lions tourney continues to roll as Nikita and Hot Stuff seem to be heading towards a very interesting match up. LOL, Swede and Baron do a quick promo to get some heat but the heat doesn't last long as Williams and Fernandez destroy them then call out the Road Warriors! Like the Ciclon match as he shows off some aggressiveness until Rheingans makes the save. Rheingans momentum is stopped by the Russians until Sarge and Anvil save the day. Leduc makes some threats towards Verne. Sugar gets a good win over Ox as this tag team feud looks to be continuing. Speaking of tag teams, Davey and Dynamite continue to gel well as they beat the Harts. Patera looks good as he heads into a title match with Hogan. Fun TV main event between Blackwell and Martel until Sheik calls in the Heenan Family. Oh man a Sheik/Heenan alliance could take over the AWA!

Big changes going on in the WWF. Backlund goes heel! I like this spin as Arnold is along for the heel ride as well. This will be very interesting. Like your version of the Killer Bees with Blassie. Magnum TA could be a huge superstar here. Cool seeing Rocky Johnson as the HBO TV title holder. Good call having the Samoans as the tag champs. Things are off to a fast start. Good stuff my friend!

The fans get a blockbuster of a card with Rage in the Cage! Big win for White Lightning as he defeats Rogers. Giant Haystacks gets a good build with a squash over Bret Wayne. Even without the DDT, Jake manages to sneak one past Wrestling 2. Cooley downs Garvin in a lumberjack match. Looks like a feud between Garvin/Rogers- Rich/Armstrong was set up. Humungous continues his terror with a good win over Stomper. Armstrong finally gets some payback on Hamilton as he wins the title in the cage! Fullers and Golden get their revenge as they beat the Assassins. WOW! Kabuki helps Pogo and Kendo win the straps! Upset here. That main event was pure chaos! Brody gets the beatdown from everybody! If anyone can rebound from this it's Brody.

Those tag team battle royals looked like a lot of fun and during this era would of been a good draw. Both Hercules and OMG had a dominant loop. Shultz and Murdoch get the best of Lanza and Windham. JYD teaming with the Von Erichs against the Freebirds is money, money, money!

Solid card. Rat Patrol get a big win over the Assassins. Jake gets back on track with a win over Wrestling 2 Like that Flair/Cooley title match as Flair remains champ.

Fantastics defeat the Gunslingers in a fun TV main event to become number 1 contenders. Will the Fantastics finally get the straps? Speaking of the straps, Long Riders dominate a squash and show just why they are the champs. Challenges made as Rich is bringing in a partner to face Ole and Buzz. Brad challenges Arn to a loser leaves town match to finish this once and for all. Poor Terry Daniels gets the loaded boot again. Ut Oh, Poffo brings in Killer Karl Krupp. That means trouble. Dibiase had a great loop. That Rich/Hansen- Sawyer/Ole bunkhouse match was a must see. Hacksaw Reed continues his solid reign as National Champ. He might be in line for an AWA World title shot.

Young Lions continue to impress as everybody involved is looking to make a name for themselves. Sugar and Ware best Ox and Sweetan. As I mentioned, I love this match up. Dynamite retains via a DQ. Looks like Bruce will get a rematch. Savage gets a bit of revenge as he downs Rude. Fun hard hitting tag match between Anvil/Sarge and the Russians. A DCO guarantees the feud is far from over. I could watch Bret/Martel matches forever. Williams and Fernandez get a HUGE win over the Sheiks. Hogan and Bad News lived up to the hype as they put on a brawl. Smart booking as this feud seems to be just getting started.

Really liking this Valentine/Graham storyline. Cant wait to watch this unfold. Davis snaps and becomes a "Maniac"! This new gimmick seems to be working because he took down another Maniac in the Missing Link. I always love the creative gimmicks you come up with to spice up wrestlers. The Contenders Crown should add a lot of intrigue to the title scene. Sweet Brown Sugar comes in and wins the Florida title! Always something happening in Florida!

Mutoh loses the match but spraying the mist gets him over. Hot Stuff is racking up some serious tournament points. Williams and Fernandez aren't playing around as they take it to the Sheiks and challenge all teams. Like the seeds planted for a Sugar/Ware-Ox/Sweetan feud. Those will be fun contrast of styles matches. Anvil and Sarge stand tall as they get the best of the Russians tonight. Wild 6 man tag as things go crazy. Bad News comes in and takes Hogan down! Bad News is one serious threat to Hogan. I cant wait for that collision.

Man you have put together one stacked roster! Magnum and Gordy open the show with a hot match as both the Freebirds and Von Erichs get involved. Magnum looks great but Gordy advances. You really have Precious Paul down. Classic promo as he hypes up the Road Warriors. Percy debuts Hercules and Herc looks like a force! JYD puts the thump on OMG and advances. JYD and Gordy will be a battle! Show doesn't end there as Superstar Graham debuts with his karate gimmick and vows to win the battle royal. That Battle Royal for the TV title is going to be a lot of fun.

The much anticipated Aloha Spectacular exceeds expectations. The Heart Punch is really getting Texas Red over. Even the Spoiler seems a bit concerned. Fantastic technical bout follows with Yamada and Cobra picking up the win. Good sportsmanship follows. Nord and Strong machine give the fans a hard hitting brawl that ends in a double C.O. to keep the feud going. LOL, poor Larry is taking a beating from everybody lately. The sight of Big Jim and Valiant dancing over an unconscious Larry was hilarious. Garvin knocks out Adonis in the sleeper match of the night. New TV champ as Flowers takes advantage of Burke's previous injuries and takes the title via the Piledriver! RnR Express end the California Cowboys great title run. Hoping for some more fun rematches. Big Piper/Rose main event that I'm sure sold a ton of tickets. Piper has things going his way until Bundy interferes and squashes him! That sneaky Rose once again walks away with the title and seems to have new ring allies in Foley and Bundy. This solidifies Bundy as a top heel. Looking forward to seeing how Piper deals with Bundy. Outstanding card!

LOL, all good. Tommy Rich has some funny stories about that match. Awesome stuff!

I want to bring out the man who will be facing Santana next week in Jackson. Please welcome Nick Bockwinkel. Now Nick, I'm sure you're a little preoccupied considering your tough loss to Harley Race last week. Harley gets the TNT title shot but I'm sure your goal is getting back in contention. Bock: Mr. Stack there is no question about it that I will be back in the title hunt. I can accept a loss to a great competitor like Harley Race but one thing I cant accept is this upcoming match with Tito Santana. That is nothing but a downgrade. Santana represents the lowest form of an opponent. I think this match is a joke and he doesn't deserve to be in the ring with a former champion like myself. The Fans cheer as Santana walks up. Santana: I'm not out here to cause trouble but I couldn't help but hear your comments Nick. Bock: I would appreciate it if you referred to me as Mr. Bockwinkel. You're in the presence of class so a bit of respect is in order. Santana: Fine, Mr. Bockwinkel. This will be straight to the point. Do not underestimate myself and my in ring skills. I'm here in TNT to make some noise and defeating you will do just that. Ariba! Santana exits as Bock folds his arms, looks at the ground and shakes his head.

Then in Jackson my Nightmares will once again be victorious over the Stupid Ones and then get back those tag team straps we never should of lost in the first place! Speaking of Jackson, the Honkytonk Man is going to shake rattle and roll all over that court jester Lawler! HAHAHAHAHA! Commercial Break The Guerreros vs. Ron James and Chris Curtis To keep the peace, Jerry Jarrett has banned the Sheepherders from tonight's TV show. Guerreros look crisp tonight as they display solid teamwork. Chavo and Mando double drop kick Curtis out of the ring. Chavo goes to the top rope. Mando swings James to the ropes and hits him in the mid section, then Chavo hits a sunset flip for the pin! Guerreros cut a promo on their upcoming tornado street fight with the Sheepherders.

Bobby unloads on Tully then swings him to the ropes but Tully grabs the ropes and slides out.

Terry we're going to be seeing you in action shortly as you prepare for Harley Race in Jackson. Funk: I want Harley Race to pay close attention tonight because that's what he's in store for next week in Jackson. I told you I don't care if it's Harley Race, Nick Bockwinkel, Jumbo Tsuruta, Tito Santana, Bobby Jaggers or Tully Blanchard. I'm going to do whatever it takes to keep this title. Harley, you egg sucking dog, you're first up! Commercial Break TNT Champ Terry Funk vs. Scott Ferris Funk follows through with his promise and works over Ferris with a variety of amateur wrestling moves. Funk turns it up with chops in the corner and a body slam. Funk spends a little to much time bantering with the Ref and Ferris catches him with a roll up 1..2..Kick Out. An angry Funk punches Ferris down then stomps away. Funk hits a Russian Legsweep and follows with a swinging neckbreaker to get the pin! Funk raises his TNT title high. Commercial Break TV Main Event Jerry 'The King' Lawler and the Fabulous Ones VS. The Honkytonk Man and Nightmares w/Jimmy Hart With these 6 men involved it doesn't take long for the chaos. The Ref is trying to get control as everybody is brawling. The Fabs fight the Nightmares through the ropes and fight on the outside. Lawler hops on the middle ropes and unleashes on the HTM with a series of punches. Hart runs over and grabs Lawler's leg. This distracts Lawler long enough for HTM to hit an inverted atomic drop. The Ref finally gets control as HTM works over Lawler. HTM holds Lawler while he tags in Davis. Davis comes off the top rope with a double axehandle then tags in Wayne. They swing Lawler to the ropes and double back drop him. Wayne stomps on Lawler then tags in HTM. HTM chokes Lawler with his boot, smiles then rakes the boot across his face.

Official TNT Card at the Oman Arena, Jackson TN 5-3-84 AWA World Heavyweight Title Bout Hulk Hogan (C) vs. 'The Universal Heartthrob' Austin Idol AWA TNT Championship Bout Terry Funk (C) vs. Harley Race TNT TV Title Bout Tully Blanchard (C) vs. 'Hangman' Bobby Jaggers Number one contenders match- Champs Atlas and Ayala will be at ringside The Fabulous Ones vs. The Nightmares w/Jimmy Hart Jerry 'The King' Lawler vs. The Honkytonk Man w/Jimmy Hart Tornado Street Fight The Guerreros vs. The Sheepherders Nick Bockwinkel vs. Tito Santana Dream Machine vs. 'Master G' George Wells w/Jimmy Hart Cocoa Samoa and Steve O vs. Sheik Ali Hassan and Cuban Assassin Jumbo Tsuruta w/Stan Stasiak vs Larry 'The Axe' Hennig Rolling Thunder vs. The Real Deal w/Johnny Valiant Dan Spivey vs. 'Blonde Bomber' Kerry Brown w/Johnny Valiant

Big card in Denver! Young Lions continue to show their stuff. Nikita and Slaughter are heading for an explosive showdown. Bad News gets a strong win over Crusher as he gets ready for Hogan. Williams and Fernandez should be next in line for a title shot as they put down Ox and Sweetan. What a cage match! Rude and Hennig go Memphis and hide under the cage until the time is right and attack Savage to help Bret retain. Road Warriors defeat the red hot sheiks to retain and look dominant. Hogan retains against Rude. Clearly Savage and Martel have unfinished business with the Heenan Family as they fight off Bret and Hennig. Things are really building well here.

I agree, these loops are a lot of fun. Nice touch naming those street fights after the city they're in. Reed, Hansen and the Long Riders are having some good runs as champions. Liked the wrestlers and managers tag bout. That's old school. Yoko and Hall continue to have some fun lower card encounters. Of course my favorite match on the loop was that Rich/Sawyer cage match.

What a card at the Farm Center! Starts off a busy night for Rogers as he simply walks out on his partner. Rogers is going to get a lot of heat tonight. Rogers helps Lethal Larry win the chain match. Add Armstrong to the list of people who want a crack at Rogers. Fun street fight as a 3rd Assassin is revealed and hits Golden with the classic loaded mask. LOL, who gets more chicken heel heat tonight, Garvin or Rogers? Great angle with the wheelchair. Battle of the heels as the Midnight Express go to a No Contest with Pogo and Kendo. This could be a wild set of matches in the coming weeks. Brody puts Jake down with the big boot to win the chaotic 6 man tag. The main event I was waiting for as we get the Hogan/Flair dream match! Flair gets DQed but we get some post match craziness as Loch Ness comes in and takes it to the champ. Then Brody comes in and helps Hogan! Loch Ness will be an outstanding monster heel for Hogan. Down the road I would love to see a Hogan/Brody match. Of course I'm sure the issues between Hogan and Flair wont end here.

You defiantly have everything clicking right now. I like that you have something interesting for everybody on the roster. For instance in the tag division the Von Erichs and Freebirds are rocking the main event scene while teams like Bart/Bass, Zenk/ Blair and Yoshi/ Duk are fighting their way up. Junkyard Dog is a huge main event guy but then you have Windham and Magnum right there. On the heel side you have Shultz, Murdoch, Kamala and OMG that can slip into the main events at any time. Awesome job!

The Hogan/Bad News segment just sold a ton of tickets to their upcoming title match. I'm loving this feud because Bad News is a serious threat. Speaking of threats, both the Sheiks and Williams/Fernandez pose just that to the Road Warriors. Good Young Lions showcase as Nikita continues to look unbeatable. Gilbert however could very well sneak his way to winning the cup. Hart vs. Savage in a cage!!!! YES!!!!! Man I cant wait for that Denver card.

Fun loop with a lot going down. Humongous sends Graham packing. Even though Graham is in the twilight of his career this still puts Humongous up there as an even more serious threat. Pogo and Kendo are the number one contenders. Their matches with the Midnights should be some wild ones. Even though Johnny Rich lost to Flair, their matches solidify Rich as a contender. Fullers and Golden get the best of Paul Jones Army in a Lights Out Match. Never a dull moment in SECW.

OH SNAP! Major upset as Cuban Assassin defeats Jack Brisco for the Atlantic Coast Title! Even with Valentine's help, this is still a huge win. Cuban Assassin will be coming back to TNT with one gigantic ego LOL. I wonder who was behind the Valentine fiasco??? Graham says it's not him and wont tolerate Valentine's actions. Dream and Sullivan gave the fans their money's worth as they go almost an hour in the Lumberjack match. White and Weaver pull it off and win the gauntlet! The Rhodes/Sullivan feud is on fire. Fun seeing Piper show up here. Wild and crazy times in Florida!

Man you have WTBS wrestling down! Reading your shows brings back memories. Rich vs. Sawyer is the feud of all feuds! Cant wait to watch this progress. TBS vets Chick and Rose pick up a win against young Michaels and Powers. Thornton isn't to happy. Sheik helps Koloff get the win over Daniels by busting him open. Looks like a Sheik/Koloff-Roop/Daniels feud is in gear. Gunslingers- Love the name. Looking forward to their match with the Fantastics next week Hansen takes Afi down as he retains the TV title. It's going to be hard to take the title from Hansen. Blockbuster main event as Reed and Duggan go at it. Chaos ensues as we get a 8 man brawl to end the show! Great show that set up a lot of good storylines.

Your shows have been stacked with action and the roll continues. Wild start as Kabuki holds his own against Kamala and the Mongols. Things take a turn for the worst as Kabuki does the stretcher job. Great match between Murdoch and Windham. Windham scores the big win to advance. Duk and Yatsu add to a stacked tag division. Oh man the Von Erichs/Freebirds feud just went up a level as Hayes helps Shultz advance over Kerry. Loving this tournament!
