Great action! Loved the Reed/Sawyer battles! Man that Andersons/Armstrongs cage match looked epic! Mean Mike had some tough draws as he holds on to his title. Scott Hall gets a good shine by throwing Yoko out of the ring. Cant wait to see these guys go at it. Dibiase gets the best of Sammartino. Also Hart continues to gain the trust of Rich.

I enjoyed the house show loop as Williams and Magnum are looking strong. Especially loved the battle royals. You're right about Dr. D, he could become a huge heel in the AWA

Always love reading your house shows. Fun seeing Mike Jackson get a shot at the Jr. Title. Man I thought Cooley won the title from Rogers until I saw the Countout LOL. Midnight Express are still rolling. I'm really looking forward to watching Stan Hansen here.

Big night for Kabuki as he gets the best of the Mosca's. Dusty shows why it's good to have a friend like Wahoo watching his back. With Ole and Arn tearing it up in Georgia I'm looking forward to seeing what Gene does in Florida,

Nice touch with a shortened show due to the Braves game. I totally remember these things happening. I'm 100% behind a Jake/Mean Mike program! This could end up being huge. Love the feud going on with Reed/Parsons-Sawyer and Duggan. These guys will have some wars on the loop. Ole has choice words for the Armstrongs and Arn follows up by dismantling Timbs in the ring. It's still surreal seeing Gary Hart as a babyface LOL. He's working hard at gaining trust with Tommy Rich. Will Hart get that handshake from Rich? Fantastics look good as they're still looking to dethrone the Long Riders and also are eyeing the AWA tag titles. Looking forward to Lawler returning to Georgia in a few weeks.

Another good loop. I love all the interesting match ups that make these house shows so much fun. Mean Mike continues to dominate as TV champ. Heaven's Angels had a great week and are rising quickly. Yoko is having some dominating squashes. Fantastics are taking the fight to the Long Riders but Long Riders remain champs. Liking the Armstrongs/Andersons battles. So glad to see Reed at the top of the card defending his National Title.

For real, this night belonged to House of Humperdink!

Oh man the countdown is on for the next supershow! Bret wins his match but Savage and Heenan play mind games. Young Lions get a good showcase tonight and despite what Trongard says, I think Nikita has got to be considered the favorite. Hmmmmmm, Precious gives Gilbert a kiss and Garvin rightfully seemed surprised. This cant be good. Highlight of the show is Hogan being attacked by Ox and Sweetan! What a way for Sweetan to debut! Will Hogan make it to the supershow??? Lawler must be a happy man right now. Cant wait for the Road Warriors/Sheiks collision! Same with the Harts and Commonwealth especially after that parking lot brawl! All that and we're also getting the big loser leaves town cage match between Bad News and Stomper. What a heated feud that's been. So much good stuff going on here. Incredible build up! The supershow should pack the house!

The much anticipated debut of WCCW debuts! Great job! Good work in having Bill Watts give a back story. Nice touch in getting the readers caught up on the happenings. Magnum TA immediately comes off as a huge star as he belly to belly's both Grizzly's! I agree on the booking of Beefcake. He immediately gets a rub with the Hogan name. Black Bart gets a dominating squash and could be a big deal here. Excellent job with Dr. D! With the match and awesome promo, he's already established himself as a top heel. You painted a very realistic picture of Blackjack Lanza at this point in his career. He can still fight and will also play a good mentor. Solid TV main event as the Russians take down Casey and Mantell via the chain. Clearly this fight isn't over. Things are looking good in WCCW and cant wait for the title tournament!

TNT Wrestling TV @ The Roane Fieldhouse 3-15-84 Highlights are shown of last week's big card in Nashville followed by Lance Russell opening up the show. Lance: Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of TNT Wrestling here on the USA Network. TNT is sanctioned by the AWA. Well you just saw the highlights of everything that went down in Nashville and we'll be talking a lot about that on tonight's show. We do have a lot of action in store as Johnny Wilhoit takes on Austin Idol, Billy Robinson clashes with Randy Colley of Decimation and in our main event, a rematch from Nashville as Hercules Ayala goes up against Harley Race. All that and a whole lot more. Let's go to the ring as the Dream Machine returns to TNT. Dream Machine vs. Gary Williams Dream Machine takes it to Williams and looks good tonight. He whips Williams to the ropes and puts him down with a clothesline then swings off the ropes and drops an elbow to get the pin! Lance: Impressive showing, now that your back, what are your intentions here in TNT? Dream: The last time you saw me I was wrestling for the TV title baby and I'm here to continue that quest. I want a shot and believe me I'm not going to let it slip away from me this time. The crowd boos as Tully Blanchard arrogantly walks out in a suit and sunglasses with the TV title on his shoulder. Tully: Whoa, slow down there my masked friend. In case you haven't heard, I'm the TV champion and I fought a lot of Jarrett's politics to finally get this title. Last time you were wrestling Tommy Rich for the title. I just got done beating up Tommy so badly that he's packed his bags and left TNT. You cant just come out and demand a title shot because I decide who's worthy for a shot. In other words, get to the back of the line Jack! Tully light slaps Dream Machine. Dream Machine pushes Tully's hand away and pushes Tully back! Tully takes off his sunglasses but officials come out to prevent anything further. Commercial Break Lance: Tempers are flaring between Tully Blanchard and the Dream Machine. Please welcome out Jerry Jarrett. Jerry, I understand you have something to say regarding the TV title. Jarrett: Thank you Lance. I have decided that next week, the Dream Machine will wrestle Kerry Brown and the winner will get a TV title shot on April 6th at the HemisFair Arena. Since I'm out here, I would like to officially announce that also on that night, Nick Bockwinkel will defend the AWA TNT title against number one contender, Terry Funk. And one more title match will be added as the Nightmares will defend the AWA Southern Tag Team Titles against the Fabulous Ones. It should be a great night of action on April 6th at the HemisFair Arena. Lance: Indeed it will be. Speaking of the TNT title, we all saw the shocking actions of George Wells in Nashville as he attacked and costed Tony Atlas his match with Nick Bockwinkel. George Wells is set for action. 'Master G' George Wells vs. Vic Dutro Wells once again shocks everybody as he comes to the ring escorted by Jimmy Hart! Wells punches and stomps away on Dutro as Hart encourages him from the outside. Wells swings Dutro to the ropes and back drops him. Wells hops up on the middle ropes, Dutro staggers up and Wells nails him with a flying shoulder tackle for the pin! The fans boo as Hart raises Well's arm. Wells gives Dutro a couple more stomps before heading to the podium. Lance: Oh come on George, what's with you lately? First you attack Tony Atlas during his TNT title match and now you're out here with Jimmy Hart. Can you explain yourself? Wells: I don't owe you or these idiots out here any explanation! I will say that it felt so good knocking that fraud Atlas down! I've been looking all over the world for that coward and long and behold I find out he's wrestling for the TNT title. What a sham! Hart: It's simple Russell. George Wells is a winner and all he needs is some guidance and someone to help him cut through all the red tape he's seen his entire career. I'm that someone! I manage champions, I'm talking about the AWA southern champs my Nightmares (Laughs) and mark my words, George Wells will be a champion. HAHAHAHAHA! Lance: (Shaking his head) I don't believe this. Well Tony Atlas will be back next week and we'll see what he has to say about all this. Commercial Break 'New Generation' Johnny Wilhoit vs. 'Universal Heartthrob' Austin Idol Both men are coming off losses in Nashville as Wilhoit dropped one to Kerry Brown and Idol lost his number one's contender's match to Funk. The first few minutes is back and forth. Wilhoit takes control with hip tosses and drop kicks and almost puts Idol away with a flying press. Wilhoit swings Idol into the turnbuckles and charges in but Idol puts him down with a back elbow smash. Idol works over Wilhoit's leg then hits a Shin Breaker and clamps on the Las Vegas Leglock! Wilhoit puts up a good fight but ends up submitting. The fans boo as Idol gives them a wink and bicep pose. Commercial Break When we come back, Wilhoit is still in the ring. The Ref helps him up but Wilhoit pushes him away. Wilhoit exits the ring and flips over a chair in frustration. Lance: Impressive win for Austin Idol and a clearly frustrated and disappointed Johnny Wilhoit. I want to bring in Bobby Jaggers. Bobby, I know you cant be happy about how things went down in Nashville as Miss Linda interfered to cost you your match with Adrian Street. Jaggers: I'm not happy Lance! (Holds up his bullrope) But I'm going to do something about it. Street, let's see how tough you are. I'm challenging you to a bullrope match on April 6th! Let's see if you have the guts boy! Lance: Oh my! I would love to see the look on Adrian Street's face right now. Fans, back to the ring. 'Blonde Bomber' Kerry Brown w/Johnny Valiant vs. Pete Alfaro Brown body slams Alfaro then drags him to the ropes and chokes him on the middle rope. Alfaro is hanging on the ropes as Brown swings off and comes back with a body guillotine. Brown picks Alfaro up and hits a Shoulder Breaker for the win! The fans boo as Valiant leads Brown to the podium. Valiant: I told you so Lance! You heard the big news. My main man Kerry Brown is already in contention for the TV title. Next week he's going to dismantle that masked freak and then it's on to the TV title! Valiant and Brown laugh then exit. Lance: That match happens next week. I understand Stan Stasiak has something to say. Ok, Stan, you got your time. Stasiak: Just stay back and shut your mouth Lance! I guess that poor sap Billy Robinson is a gluten for punishment. Jumbo Tsuruta soundly beats him in Nashville and now he wants to face a member of Decimation. After Randy Colley gets through with you Robinson, you'll never want to hear my name again! Get ready for another beating! Commercial Break Steve Olsonoski vs. Terry Gibbs Steve makes his TNT debut tonight, facing the rugged Terry Gibbs. Gibbs gets in an eye rake and works Steve over. Gibbs goes for a back drop but Steve leapfrogs over, swings back and puts Gibbs down with a forearm smash. Steve body slams Gibbs, hops on the middle ropes and hits a flying knee drop for the pin! The fans give Steve a good applause as he heads to the podium. Lance welcomes him to TNT. Steve: Thank you very much Lance and you and the great people here can call me Steve O. You know, I've held numerous regional titles in my career but in the last year or so I've been off track. Seen more losses than I wanted. I'm here in TNT for a fresh start. I'm focused and refreshed and ready to go! Lance: I for one am looking forward to watching Steve O here in TNT, when we... Mr. Electricity Steve Regal walks up to the podium. Lance: Oh ok, Steve Regal has joined me. Steve, I heard you signed with TNT but wasn't expecting you today. Regal: I have something to say and it just couldn't wait. I was sickened by the comments of Rick McGraw. Where does he get off thinking he's in contention for the Light Heavyweight Championship? What has he done to earn a shot? Nothing! I've been a top light heavyweight wrestler for years. If anyone deserves a title shot it's me! Lance: Ok, Regal brings up a valid point and I'm sure Jerry Jarrett will put some thought into this one. Commercial Break Lance: Before we get to our next featured bout, I have some exciting news. On April 6th at the HemisFair card, Tito Santana will be making his TNT debut. Looking forward to having Tito Santana here in TNT. I also wanted to take a moment and say that the AWA World Champion, Jerry Lawler has been successfully defending his title all across the AWA against the best competition in the world. We look forward to seeing the King return to TNT television in the weeks to come. Back to the ring. Billy Robinson vs. Randy Colley w/Stan Stasiak Billy is a man possessed as he runs in the ring and pounds away on Colley. Stasiak is still on the apron but Billy swings Colley into him and Stasiak goes flying. Billy hits a double arm suplex and follows with a gut wrench suplex then proceeds to drop several knees on Colley. Billy swings Colley into the turnbuckles and follows with several European uppercuts. Billy body slams Colley and swings off the ropes but Stasiak trips him. Billy stumbles forward then turns around and goes to the ropes and yells down at Stasiak. Stasiak is telling him to come out and fight. Billy heads through the ropes but Colley nails him with a knee to the back that sends him to the outside. Colley distracts the Ref as Stasiak stomps on Billy then hurls him back in the ring. Colley takes over with body slams and elbow drops then chokes him with his boot. Colley swings Billy to the ropes and goes for a back drop but Billy kicks him and follows with a European uppercut then hits a swinging neckbreaker 1...2...3!!!! The crowd cheers as the Ref raises Billy's arm. Mike Shaw hits the ring and clotheslines Billy from behind! Stasiak gets in there and they stomp away on Billy. Colley staggers up and Decimation swings him to the ropes and put him down with a double clothesline! Huge cheers from the crowd as Larry 'The Axe' Hennig storms the ring with a chair and swings wildly as Stasiak and Decimation get out of there. Stasiak and Decimation are looking in surprise as Hennig holds up the chair and motions for them to come back in. They leave and Hennig checks on Billy. Commercial Break Lance brings Larry Hennig over and asks him what he's doing here. Hennig: Billy and I have been in this business a long time and have known each other a long time. We might be winding down but him and I both think we have some fight left. Jumbo Tsuruta made a big mistake turning on Billy but I wont do that. Billy's got a partner in me and Decimation, rest assured we have another run left in us! The Guerreros vs. Frank Samson and Lou Larson The Guerreros are coming off a big win over the Sheepherders but the fight is clearly not over. Guerreros look sharp tonight as they hit a double vertical suplex on Samson. Mando tags Chavo. Chavo goes to the top. Mando swings Samson to the ropes and hits him with a knee to the mid section as Chavo comes off the top with a sunset flip to get the pin! Cocoa Samoa vs. Willie Jones Cocoa has the fans cheering as he hits a high drop kick on Jones then swings off the ropes and hits a jumping leg drop. Cocoa hops on the middle ropes and crashes down with a diving headbutt to get the win! The Ref raises his arm in victory but Cocoa is distracted by Ratamyus and Cuban Assassin. They're on the outside causing a commotion. Cocoa watches them as he heads to the podium. Lance isn't sure what's going on here. He starts to interview Cocoa but Ratamyus and Cuban Assassin head towards them. Cuban walks to the podium. Cuban: Why is this savage out here? We want to say something! Cocoa: If you have a pro.... Cocoa is nailed from behind by Ratamyus with a chair!! Security is quick to respond as they take Cuban and Ratamyus out of there. Commercial Break Lance: I have no idea what that was about and why Cuban Assassin and Ratamyus have targeted Cocoa Samoa. I hope Cocoa is ok. Fans, I want to bring out the current TNT champion, Nick Bockwinkel. Nick, we all saw the footage from Nashville and.. Bock: Let me stop you right there Mr. Russell. I know where you're heading. I was clearly giving Tony Atlas a wrestling lesson and had things in total control. I cant help it if Tony Atlas has made a list of enemies, that does not concern me. What concerns me is this TNT title. And as you can see it's clearly where it should be, around my waist. It will continue to remain around my waist for a very long time. Now, the matter at hand, Terry Funk. Terry Funk has been named number one contender but all that means is he will be just another domino I knock down, just another notch in my belt. He's a non issue. He's an uncontrollable Wildman who will be easily outsmarted by myself. Enjoy these next few weeks Mr. Funk, because it will be the closest you'll ever get to this here TNT title. A very good day to you Mr. Russell. Lance: Ok, there you have it from the TNT champ himself, Nick Bockwinkel. Terry Funk will be in action next week. Before we get to our main event I wanted to speak with the Fabulous Ones. You boys get a long awaited tag team title match on April 6th. That must feel great. The Fabulous Ones cut a promo and talk about how great it is to have taken care of Bob Sweetan and Dave Shultz once and for all. Now that that's over they are excited and focused on their upcoming tag title match with the Nightmares. They remind the Nightmares, they never lost those titles and the Nightmares have never beaten them. April 6th will be the Fabulous Ones night! Commercial Break Main Event Harley Race vs. Hercules Ayala These two start with a slugfest and Ayala gets the best of it.

Both men have traded count out victories. Needless to say a rematch is in order. Lance: What a great main event. I'm sure these men will meet again. Fans, this has been... Cocoa Samoa storms out clearly favoring his back from that chair shot earlier. Cocoa: Ratamyus! Cuban Assassin! I'm not a target and I'm not somebody you can choose to punish! You want a fight? You got one. Next week I'll find a partner and then the both of you will feel my wrath! Lance: Oh my, I've never seen Cocoa that fired up. That should be a wild confrontation next week. Until then, so long. Upcoming TNT Card @ HemisFair Arena, San Antonio TX 4-6-84 TNT Title Bout Nick Bockwinkel (C) vs. Terry Funk AWA Southern Tag Team Title Bout The Nightmares (C) w/Jimmy Hart vs. The Fabulous Ones TV Title Bout Tully Blanchard (C) vs. Dream Machine or 'Blonde Bomber' Kerry Brown Sheepherders vs. Guerreros Tito Santana debuts! .

Great way to start things off on TV. I agree, you made Valentine the biggest threat in Florida and he didn't even have to show his face. With Orndorff, Steamboat and Dusty all calling him out, that shows how big Valentine is here. Orndorff and Steamboat should make quite an alliance. Then you have Dusty and Wahoo! The faces have united at the perfect time because the House of Humperdink is looking to take over. Intriguing baby face matches as Mark gives Dusty a match but the Dream prevails. Mosca also gets a big with over Rufus. I have no doubt that we're all going to be for some big surprises here on Atlantic Coast Wrestling!

The fans in Birmingham got their money's worth tonight. Good seeing guys like Art Crews and Jessie Barr get some solid wins. Larry Hamilton will not be a happy camper as Rogers and Brenda cost him the Jr. Title. I'm sure Gilbert was thrilled. Rat Patrol get a big win over Sonny King's men. Once again Brenda distracts Olympia but it looks like Olympia has something up his sleeve. That 10 man elimination would of been awesome to watch. Ron Fuller is the sole survivor but everybody shined in this match. Wild main event as Flair gets some payback on Brody and then Hansen really gets some revenge as he takes Brody down! I bet Lawler will be happy to get out of Alabama.

Fun house shows. Fallen Angel debuts in the wild House of Humperdink stable! They're going to cause some chaos. Dusty and Wahoo team up for a win. I think it's only a matter of time before Dusty crosses paths with House of Humperdink. Valentine is on a roll of a lifetime with wins over Steamboat and Orndorff.

Oh man the non stop action continues in SECW! Love all the intrigue surrounding the AWA world title with Lawler, Hansen and Brody. Fullers/Golden- Fire and Flame feud continues to explode. Good job using the TV to hype up the cards. Rip Rogers quickly regains the Alabama title thanks to Gilbert and Brenda. I think Olympia will need some back up. Big win for Fullers and Golden as they get a satisfying submission win over Paul Jones Army. Wild match between Brody and JYD. Props to JYD for hanging in there with Brody. Crazy main event as the Paul Jones Army puts a beating on Hansen. Lawler thinks he gets a clean getaway until Brody puts him down. YES! It looks like we're heading into a Brody/Hansen feud! That's going to be insane!

Great fall out show from the Omni. Bob Armstrong is back! The Andersons better be ready for a fight. Norvell looks impressive. I think big things are in store for him. Speaking of big things, Yoko is making waves in Georgia as Siva Afi plans on taking him all the way. The Devil's Duo have changed their ways. Who would of thought. Looking forward to Heaven's Angels. The Iceman is here but Duggan spoils his debut by sending a message to Reed. Cant wait for the battle of the Hacksaws! Long Riders with a dominating win and warn the Fantastics that next time they meet they wont be so lucky. Rich is back on the Superstation and everything is right in the world. Will Hart earn his trust? Things get intense and as Gordon said very disturbing as Angelo slaps his son and tells his henchmen to finish the job. Poffo has some strong back up with Rich and Dibiase. This is going to get bloody. Andersons end the show with some strong words for the Armstrongs. Man, these feuds are going to pack the houses!

Welcome back Edger! Good use of a house show to get talent established. Of course Sullivan would have Abdullah and Lewin as cohorts. What a monster stable! Bill White wins the battle royal and is crowned champ! Good seeing a vet like White get a solid push here. Thanks for the Putski showcase. He's been down on his luck in TNT and this win might have given him his confidence back. Outstanding main event as Valentine gets one over on Steamboat. Watch out Greg because now you have Orndorff coming after you.

Oh man things are at a boiling point as we get closer to the next ESPN supershow! The match between Hart and Savage is made! Who will walk out with the title? Or I should say, who will simply walk out??? Young Lions tournament gets a wildcard as Nikita is now involved! Lol like Uncle Nikolai. Lawler seems to be confident heading into his match with Hogan and makes some subtle warnings. Hogan gets attacked by Ox Baker! When I was a kid, Ox Baker scared me lol. After watching this I would of been terrified for Hogan. Can Hogan survive Baker to get to Lawler? Maybe Hogan can call Snake Plissken for back up LOL. Road Warriors and Sheiks get good squashes as they head towards their explosive collision. I'm looking forward to that heavy hitting power match! Dynamite and Davey Boy are getting really good buzz in the AWA. YES! Stomper and Brown in a loser leaves town cage match! It's the only solution for this feud. You're doing an awesome job building towards the ESPN supershow.

Another good show from SECW. My man Cooley keeps on winning. Like that Olympia/Hamilton impromptu pairing but somebody is going to have to watch out for Miss Brenda. Dynamite keeps his impressive title reign going by beating veteran light heavyweight Bill Ash. Rat Patrol might have earned themselves a title match with the Midnight Express. Whoa man what a title match but the after math was shocking as Brody goes crazy on Flair! Flair might be out for a long time putting his title in jeopardy. Crazy main event. Brody is on such a rampage that I don't think anyone can stop him.

TNT @ The Nashville State Fairgrounds 3-8-84 The cameras will be rolling for tonight's big card. 'Quick Draw' Rick McGraw vs. Scott Ferris McGraw announced he was gunning for the AWA Light Heavyweight title so tonight he tunes up against the rough and credible Ferris. Ferris gets in some good blows but McGraw comes back with a series of hip tosses and drop kicks and finishes Ferris off with a flying body press for the pin! Winner of the match- Rick McGraw 'Blond Bomber' Kerry Brown w/Johnny Valiant vs. 'New Generation' Johnny Wilhoit A couple weeks back Brown body slammed Wilhoit on the concrete following Wilhoit's debut. Valiant said Brown wouldn't be upstaged by Wilhoit. Last week Wilhoit said he was coming for payback. Valiant high tails it out of the ring as Wilhoit hammers away on Brown. Wilhoit swings Brown to the ropes and kicks him in the mid section then hits a knee lift that bounces Brown through the ropes. Brown turns the tide with an eye rake from the apron. Brown hits a vertical suplex then grabs the ropes and chokes Wilhoit with his boot. Wilhoit mounts a comeback and unloads on Brown, swings him to the ropes and back drops him. Valiant gets on the apron and Wilhoit runs over and grabs him. Brown charges Wilhoit from behind and hits him with a high knee to the back followed by a roll up with a hand full of tights 1..2..3! Winner of the match- Kerry Brown The Guerreros vs. Sheepherders Wild one here as both teams fight with aggression. Guerreros use crisp teamwork and high offense to control the early portion. Sheepherders come back and break all the rules. The Guerreros aren't afraid to fight and the brawl is on as all four men end up in the ring. The Ref is trying to get control. The Sheepherders get the edge and swing both Guerreros to the ropes and go for a double back drop but Hector and Mando execute dual sunset flips and the Ref says the heck with it and counts 1..2..3! The fans explode as the Guerreros jump up to celebrate but the Sheepherders get up and attack them from behind! The Guerreros come back and everybody is brawling again! They fight to the outside and all around the ring for another couple minutes until security comes out to break the brawl up. Winners of the match- The Guerreros Billy Robinson vs. Jumbo Tsuruta w/Stan Stasiak Robinson and Tsuruta were clicking as a team but Stasiak somehow got in the ear of Tsuruta and here we are. After a post match beating, Robinson is out for revenge on his former partner. The match starts with some brutal exchanges as Robinson uses European uppercuts and Tsuruta uses some vicious chops. The match is very hard hitting but also very technical as both men bring out their arsenal. Each man uses a variety of suplexes that impress the fans. Billy has momentum as he executes a swinging neckbreaker and covers but Tsuruta gets his foot on the rope. Billy picks Tsuruta up and swings him to the ropes and clamps on a sleeper but Tsuruta is able to swing around and push Billy back against the turnbuckles. Tsuruta staggers forward and Billy grabs him, swings him to the ropes but misses a clothesline attempt, Tsuruta swings back and puts Billy down with a big boot! Tsuruta hops on the middle rope and crashes down with a big knee drop 1..2..3! Stasiak runs in the ring, gives Billy a stomp and raises Tsuruta's arm as the fans boo. This angers Tsuruta so he picks up Billy and executes a bridging Release Belly to Back suplex for good measure. Winner of the match- Jumbo Tsuruta Harley Race vs. Hercules Ayala Race jumps Ayala at the bell and proceeds to work him over. Race is hell bent on getting back in title contention and it shows tonight. Race chokes Ayala on the top rope then snaps his head back. Race body slams Ayala follows with a delayed knee drop then a delayed headbutt. Race hops on the middle ropes and goes for a diving headbutt but Ayala moves. Race crashes down on the canvas and Ayala regroups. Ayala gets up and works Race over with his power. He punches away on Race then scoop slams him. He picks Race up and body slams him again.

Winner of the match by countout- Harley Race TV Title Street Fight Tully Blanchard (C) vs. Tommy 'Wildfire' Rich For the past few months these two have been battling over the TV title. It explodes in a street fight tonight. Both men are in jeans and T-Shirts. Nothing pretty as they brawl everywhere! Both men are bleeding within minutes. They fight to the outside. Rich gets the upper hand and swings Tully shoulder first into the steel post. Tully is holding his shoulder while lying against the post. Rich charges in with a clothesline but Tully falls down and Rich hits the post! Both men are on the ground and both are bleeding bad. They finally roll into the ring.

After 20 minutes of brutal brawling, A barley conscious Rich swings Tully to the ropes and both heads collide! Rich falls back and Tully collapses on top 1..2..3! Tully retains but it takes a while for either man to get up. Winner and still TV Champ- Tully Blanchard Intermission Soul Patrol/Cocoa Samoa vs. Decimation w/Stan Stasiak and Phil Hickerson w/Johnny Valiant Pretty crazy 6 man tag action as numerous feuds are involved here. Both managers cause quite the distraction until the Ref bans both of them from the match! Soul Patrol and Cocoa use their speed and high moveset to keep their opponents off track. The tide turns as Colley puts Ware down with a clothesline. Heels take over as they work Ware over. Shaw one arm slams Ware down and Hickerson follows with a big elbow but Ware kicks out.

Decimation realizes what just happened and take out their anger on the Soul Patrol as they continue beating them down on the outside before leaving. Winners of the match- Cocoa Samoa and the Soul Patrol 'Exotic' Adrian Street w/Miss Linda vs. 'Hangman' Bobby Jaggers This one has some heat as Street stole Jagger's bullrope a few weeks ago and used it to beat Jaggers up.

Fun spot shows. Bret Wayne and Jessie Barr should make some solid mid card faces. Larry Hamilton had some good title defenses. Mr. Olympia had a bittersweet week as he gets a solid win over Boyd to retain but takes a beating from Brody while subbing for JYD. Brody is on a rampage! Cooley is rising fast and I like it. Fuller and Golden get the best of Fire and Flame but Fire and Flame get their heat back with a win over Rat Patrol. Superstar Graham gets a huge win over Ron Fuller, keeping him in title contention. And of course the Midnight Express retain. Yes!

Really great storylines on the current Pacific Wrestling TV show. Texas Red seems to be a star on the horizon. Flowers continues to impress with a win over LaFleur but LeFleur is creating some good buzz. Excellent interview segment with Rose and all the families gaining up on Larry Z. Just how far will Larry go to get that ring off Piper and get back in the good graces of the families??? Looking forward to seeing if Strong Machine can match up with Nord. Man, Hansen goes wild and gets suspended!! That was crazy! I wonder if Anthony will be looking for some new back up. LOL, poor Larry couldn't get the job done as Piper escapes with the ring. Rose didn't look to pleased. Fun card at the LA Sports Arena. It's so awesome seeing the East West Connection in the tag ranks. Vachon bounces back from his Bundy loss with a solid win over Goldie. Strong Machine gets a good win over Gama as he prepares for his showdown with Nord. California Cowboys retain with help from the Zambuie Express. Looks like they aren't finished with RnR after all. That Dynamite/Cobra match might of been the show stealing match of the night! I'm sure they went all out for those 20 minutes. Great match! Once again Larry comes up short and takes the fall. That might of been the last straw for Rose LOL.

The following wrestlers are on TNT's trade block, Billy Robinson Phil Hickerson Cocoa Samoa Bob Sweetan Koko Ware Sweet Brown Sugar

Action at the Rosemont! I like the slow build of Jannetty as he gears up for the Young Lions tournament. Wrestling 2 and Mutoh come up short against Hot Stuff and Garvin, thanks to Precious. However, Mutoh looks good. Wahoo and Jules get a good win. I like that Wahoo finished the match strong. I'm sure the fans at the Rosemont loved the Crusher match. Fun 6 man tag as the Harts defeat Commonwealth. The Harts needed this win. Rude looks pretty good against Martel along with Heenan's constant interference. Hennig helps even up the odds and Martel takes it. If they decide to go their separate ways, I think Martel could become a serious world title contender. Hennig could also start being built as a mid card title contender. Wild main event! The crowd went home unhappy but this was the right call. Savage and Bad News need to keep their momentum right now and the loss doesn't hurt Bret.

Simpson and Doll defiantly fit the name Glamour Boys. We'll see if they can climb the ranks of a very stacked tag division. California Cowboys impress with a tough title defense. I really like the Orton/Brooks pairing here. Garvin goes off on Rogers and puts him down! Garvin could really do some damage here. I enjoy Nord's squash matches. Who is this new mask man coming after Wakamatsu?? Texas Red will defiantly get some seasoning hanging around Hansen and Anthony. They lose tonight but Red seemed to look good. Spoiler helps Adonis get the win but I'm sure Baron will be looking to put the claw on Spoiler. Oakland gets a fun card. Bundy is on a roll and defeats the legend Vachon. Big win for Bundy. Like that Dynamite/Starr match. Dynamite has really become a top champ in the AWA. Cowboys and RnR would of been a money match for me. With a draw I'm hoping for more. Billy gets a decisive win over rival Anthony. Of course there was going to be shenanigans in the main event. Larry Z better watch out because Piper will be gunning for him!

Cooley continues his streak with a win over Ronald Reagan's favorite wrestler. Good to see Hamilton bounce back from his loss to Dynamite. WOW! Rogers title reign was short lived as Mr. Olympia beats him. I was always a fan of Olympia so I'm looking forward to his run here. Dynamite continues his impressive reign with a solid win over White Lightning. With everything going on in SECW, the Midnight Express are having a pretty good run with the titles. Fuller/Golden-Fire and Flame go to a wild countout. This feud is far from over. Wild main event as Brody gets the fall on champ Flair. Great set up to their inevitable title match which will be money!
