I love the way you keep everybody updated during the TV matches. Texas Red and Gibson is turning into a fun feud, so far Gibson is one step ahead of Red and Spoiler. Ron Starr could turn into something big here. Orton takes down Doll but Doll looks strong. Like the Borne/Anthony matches. Anthony gets one past Borne but this feud is far from over. Piper earns a title match with a tag win over Rose. Great follow up card in Portland. I agree, that RnR win over East West Connection is a bit of an upset. Looking forward to these teams going at it again. Bundy once again shows his dominance with a win over veteran Baron. Jacques and LaFleur work well together as they defeat LA Express. OH SNAP! Dick Slater has arrived! What a way to debut by hitting Billy Jack with a piledriver on the concrete! Slater will cause some havoc up here. Madril helps Rose retain against Piper but now must pay the Piper in a loser leaves town match...thanks to Rose LOL.

The card I was waiting for! Hamilton turns heel on Armstrong! This could be a hidden gem feud. Garvin and Precious have arrived and he gets a strong debut win over Horner. Love that 4 corners match and especially loved the Midnight Express regaining the titles. WOW! Fuller introduces the Mongolian Stomper! Stomper and Humungous fight to a wild double countout. I love this battle of oddities. Good to see Cooley bounce back from his loss to Flair and defeat Rogers. Fuller and Golden send Fire and Flame packing to end that feud. Olympia takes Flair to the limit. I think this is big for Olympia and I'm sure he will get a rematch.

I have no problem with you using Kiniski.

I agree, that Flair promo was solid gold! What a great explanation. I cant wait to watch Flair in the coming months. Mr. Olympia follows through with his promise and regains the Alabama title. Man, I cant wait to find out who this man Ron Fuller is sending in to face Humungous! Rat Patrol keep on rolling with a win over Fire and Flame. Scott Armstrong continues his win streak. Poor Graham, takes the fall after getting hit with a Humungous headbutt. I wonder if Graham will have a problem with that? Flair retains as he sneaks one past a game Wendell Cooley. I'm hoping we get a Flair/Hogan AWA title match!!!

The TV tournament was a lot of fun. Huge surprise as Rick Rude comes to town and wins the title! Rocky 'The Best' Kernodle is certainly making a name for himself as he costs Dusty a chance at the title then goes after Orndorff the next night. However, Steamboat beats him in an impromptu match. I do like the Briscos working as heels. Hoping to see more Wahoo/Dory Funk matches. Barry Windham could be a top babyface in no time.

Another fun loop. I think the Freebirds and Shultz/Murdoch are battling for top heel team spot. Kamala showed his dominance in handicap matches. Magnum teaming with the Von Erichs is pretty cool. The Von Erichs will need him if they cross paths with the Freebirds.

Great TV show. It was nice seeing Georgia mainstays Rose and Donovan get a win. Les Thornton seems to have an interest in Michaels and Powers, I think they should take him up on that offer. Clearly the issues between Masked Superstar and Dibiase are far from over. Kelly Kiniski arrives and gets a solid win over Austin and wants to continue his rivalry with Adias. I'm looking forward to watching what you do with Kiniski, oh sorry Mr. Kiniski. Man, the Road Warriors simply dominate Iron Curtain. Long Riders are next. Lanny Poffo is showing more aggression and has ominous words for his Dad. AWA World Champ Hulk Hogan makes an appearance and is ready for Dibiase and also sends a warning to Superstar. Liked the promos with the Andersons and Armstrongs to keep this feud moving. Another good round of matches on the loop. Hogan retains against Dibiase after interference from Superstar. Looks like Hogan got some payback with that win over Superstar in Baltimore. And I'm sure Dibiase got his blows in on Superstar during that cage match in Augusta. Armstrongs might of got the best of the Andersons this week. Road Warriors retained against different teams. Loved that Rich/Sawyer match in Baltimore. Man, I'm hoping they get a feud down the road.

Edger, you are the master of these joint shows. LaFleur and Mantell go to a classic opening 10 minute draw. Blair does his best but Link was just to much. Link is on a roll. Fun and clean brothers tag match as the Von Erichs continue their winning ways. Valentine goes over but Hogan looks strong. Feel good win as America's Team puts down the nasty Russians. Man, Shultz has got to be one of the top heels in the entire AWA. This man is a heat magnet. Him and Wahoo have an all out war and it looks like we're going to get more. Classis match between Steamboat and Jack Brisco. Jerry tries to stack the odds but Steamboat prevails as he moves further up the ranks. Of course the Freebirds have to go over in a Bad Street Fight. Loving this feud between the Birds and House of Humperdink. That segues into the wild main event. Nobody is more dangerous with a foreign object than Abdullah. Gordy found that out tonight. Looking forward to the rubber match. Really liked this card as the territories in the AWA continue to work magic together.

Another fun loop. Scott Armstrong is doing quite well as Jr. Champ. Cooley is getting some good spotlight as he tangles with Rogers. LOL, Olympia really gave Robley a pounding. Rat Patrol seems to have the Midnight Express's number. Humungous is tearing apart the competition. Who can stop him??? And Flair is back as he retains against Jimmy Golden.

Another action packed WCCW show! Al Perez gets a good TV win. Always liked Al and I'm hoping he gets a good push here. Lanza puts up a fight but Murdoch sneaks in the win to advance. Akbar introduces Kamala and man does he make an impact! This is only the beginning as he brutally attacks Dr. Death and sends him to the hospital! Kamala has just become a major force! Little brother Hogan wants some gold and throws his name in for the TV title. LOL, I'm liking this gimmick and looking forward to seeing where this goes. Another monster debuts as Percy brings in the One Man Gang! OMG will certainly do some damage here. Awesome match between Windham and Bass. This could of gone either way but Windham prevails with a great finish to advance. So far this tournament has been a lot of fun. The show could of ended there but wait, we get an epic appearance by the Junkyard Dog!!!! Next week we get Kamala vs. JYD in what should be a wild brawl. JYD, Kamala, Windham, Shultz, Murdoch, Von Erichs, Freebirds...World Class is absolutely on fire!

Nightmares cut a promo and say there's no way the Foolish Ones are going to take these titles. A lot has changed and they shouldn't even be worthy of a title shot. While they were vacationing with so called injuries, the Nightmares have been defending these titles against all comers. The Nightmares say they're better looking, better athletes and down right better wrestlers then the Foolish Ones! Commercial Break Lance Russell tells the viewers that Jerry Lawler has indeed suffered a concussion at the hands of the Honkytonk Man and his guitar. He hopes to see Lawler back real soon. 'Universal Heartthrob' Austin Idol vs. Kent Bauer Idol executes a shin breaker and follows with the Las Vegas Leglock to get the submission win! Idol cuts a promo and says his time has come and he wants some gold! He's aiming high and actually issues a challenge to that Heartthrob wannabe Hulk Hogan! Idol then flexes and gives the fans a wink as they boo. Commercial Break Main Event TNT Champ Nick Bockwinkel and Harley Race vs. Terry Funk and Hercules Ayala Fun TV match up as all 4 men shine. Bock and Funk give a nice preview of their upcoming title match as they have a furious exchange. Bock works Funk over with a variety of suplexes but Funk comes back with suplexes of his own. Race and Ayala have a good segment as Race almost puts Ayala away with a swinging neckbreaker. Ayala made a comeback and almost put Race away with a scoop powerslam. All 4 men end up brawling. The Ref manages to get control. Funk and Ayala swing Race to the ropes and hit a double clothesline. Bock runs in and gets a double clothesline. The Ref once again gets control. Race staggers up and Funk puts him down with a DDT! 1..2..Bock drops a knee to break it. Ayala rushes in but the Ref guides him back. Bock picks up Funk and piledrives him down! The Ref turns around and guides Bock back. Both Funk and Race are down. The Ref comes back and starts the 10 count. Both wrestlers manage to get to their knees at the 8 count. Bock runs in and kicks Funk. Ayala charges in and sends Bock flying with a running forearm blast. Race crawls up from behind and gives Ayala a lowblow! Race tags in Bock. Funk staggers up, Bock grabs him and hits another piledriver 1..2..3!!! Bock helps Race out of the ring as the fans give it to them. Lance: Tough loss for Ayala and Funk thanks to a cheap shot from Harley Race. Well fans this has been a pretty hostile and crazy show. This Friday night at the Hemisfair arena should be a wild one. Fans, hurry up and get your tickets now because you wont want to miss this one.

Questions are answered! The Heenan Family looks pretty impressive with Hart, Hennig and Rude. Hogan is the champ again but it looks like there's a lot of contenders lining up. Hogan has a plan and the Mega Powers are serving notice! Garvin and Precious are gone but Hot Stuff has something in the works. Young Lions tournament continues to roll. I'm still picking Nikita. All Star Wrestling is on fire as new alliances are formed and ready to rock!

A lot of talent arriving in 85. LOL, yea I see some guys I'll have to protect.

Big Red continues to get some good buzz and I like the Spoiler as his mentor. Ricky Gibson proves he can get down as well. Liked that Nord finish with the megaphone/big boot! Looks like Billy Jack is getting the best of Anthony in their feud. RnR get the pin but Zambuie keeps the fight going. Crazy 6 man tag as Vachon and Bundy tear into each other. Garvin with his sunset flip gets the fall. Rose barely hangs on to his title as Adams gets the C.O win. I think Adams has earned a rematch.

OH SNAP!!!!! What a turn by Flair! Man, that was epic! Flair is going to get mega heat for this. That was one brutal cage match between Brody and Hansen! Could they be forced to join forces after what happened? Along with all this, Baby Doll gets suplexed by Robley on the floor! King gets attacked by Boyd, Kendo, Tojo and Pogo! And Scott Armstrong wins the Jr. Title! Talk about a great night of action. Those fans were lucky to witness all of that.

I agree with everybody, Shultz and Murdoch are on their way to becoming the top heels here. They will draw money with Magnum and Windham along with the Von Erichs. Like Kabuki teaming with the Mongols. Akbar has himself a solid group of crazy heels. A lot of great talent that's giving fans on the loop their money's worth.

Oh Snap! Rocky Kernodle and House of Humperdink are causing all sorts of chaos! Didn't see that turn coming. Eddie Graham is all over Humperdink and brings in the Freebirds! More chaos as we now get a joint card. Freebirds and House of Humperdink will bring in some serious money. I knew sooner or later Dusty would get involved with Humperdink. That's the kind of feud you can get a lot of miles out of. The brackets are set for a big TV title tournament. Bobby Heenan is even bringing in Rude. That joint card looks stacked! Love all the craziness going on here.

I like Adias mentioning his Texas background and dealings with Kiniski and especially Gary Hart. Adds more intrigue to this very interesting angle. Good job in the building of Scott Hall. It's fun to see Hall and Yoko going at it in this stage of their careers. Hogan winning the AWA title has shaken things up. Dibiase gets the next shot and Masked Superstar takes his rage out on Michaels. I have a feeling Superstar is going to get involved in the upcoming title match. Another good angle going here. Good promos from Iceman and the Armstrongs. Mean Mike also gets some time as he gives Jake a stern warning. Action packed TV main event as the Long Riders get the shot at the Road Warriors. Post match chaos as Hart takes a beating. Poffo gets some satisfaction by hitting his Dad with a chair. I think Angelo is going to go all out now. Long Riders/Road Warriors should be a wild brawl. The angles are really working here.

So much going on here in SECW! Congrats to Wendel Cooley on winning the Mississippi Championship. I love the push he's getting. Robley gets involved in the Olympia/Rogers feud adding another obstacle for Olympia. Rat Patrol are on a roll and remain champs. Humungous really did a number on Fuller. I think this really puts Humungous over. YES! Brody and Hansen will go at it again inside the cage! This isn't about winning but more about survival. WOW! Graham sends JYD packing. Didn't see that coming. This really puts Graham back up there Man, all this going on and Flair comes back soon. Great stuff! .

Great show! Classic promos from Dr. D and Murdoch. These two will get mega heat! Speaking of classic promos, Michael Hayes delivers a great one. You really have him down. They follow up with a solid squash. Windham looks good and ready for his tournament match with Bass but Bass gets the first shot in as he attacks Windham. Good job getting heat on their upcoming match. Skandor introduces the Mongols! They look devastating in their debut. Fun TV main event as Kerry and Bart go at it. Of course Kerry's going over in his triumphant return. Kevin joins him at the end and the Von Erich's are back in Texas! Damn, the Von Erichs, Freebirds, Mongols, Shultz and Murdoch! I love all these factions. Only a matter of time before the Freebirds and Von Erichs cross paths. WCCW is really clicking!

This situation is getting volatile. With me right now is the current TV champion Tully Blanchard. Tully, I know you'll be watching the Dream Machine/Kerry Brown match very closely. Tully: (smirking) Why should I be watching? Neither one of those guys are the caliber of myself. Come on Stack, I'm in a league all by myself. I am the cream of the crop. I am the TV champion! Commercial Break Jumbo Tsuruta w/Stan Stasiak vs. 'New Generation' Johnny Wilhoit Wilhoit gets in some solid offense with drop kicks and arm drags.

Peters staggers up and McGraw hits a flying body press for the pin! 'Mr. Electricity' Steve Regal vs. Dave Michaels Regal works Michaels over then hits a vertical suplex. Regal climbs to the top rope. Michaels staggers up and Regal hits a Missile Dropkick to get the pin! The fans boo as Regal heads to the podium. Stack: Well Regal, it appears the point you made last week was heard by Jerry Jarrett because he's decided that you and Rick McGraw will face off next week and the winner will get a Light Heavyweight title shot on April 6th against the Dynamite Kid. Regal: I really don't know why I have to wrestle an underachiever like McGraw to get a title shot but whatever I'll just easily beat him and move on to a title shot that should already be mine. The fans cheer as McGraw heads out. McGraw: You know I've had enough of listening to you cry about what's yours. You obviously have put yourself on a pedestal but you haven't beaten me yet and brother you're looking at a man who wants that title shot bad. I'm going to prove to you why it should be me and not you getting that shot. See you next week. As McGraw leaves, Regal tries to hit him from behind but McGraw turns around, blocks the punch and puts Regal down with a punch! Commercial Break Stack: We're just about set for a big tag match and... Tony Atlas storms the podium. Atlas: George Wells! You got me twice now boy but I guarantee that wont happen again! You hear me boy! You and me on April 6th at the Hemisfair Arena. I cant wait to beat you down!

Steve O is pounding away on Cuban in the corner. Cocoa is punching away on Ratamyus on the outside. The Ref is trying to get control and backs Steve O up. Cuban reaches in his tights.

Ratamyus smashes a wooden chair over the back of Cocoa's head!!! The fans are shocked when Ratamyus grabs a piece of wood and starts grinding it on the forehead of Cocoa! Cocoa is bleeding bad. The Ref tries to get Ratamyus off but Ratamyus eye rakes the Ref and body slams him down! Ratamyus goes crazy and starts choking the Ref! Several wrestlers run to the ring to stop this madness. Commercial Break Stack: I'm not sure what to say. That was one of the most disgusting acts I've ever seen on television. I'm sure Jerry Jarrett will have something to say about the horrible actions of Ratamyus. Cocoa, Steve O and the Referee have been helped out of here. Well lets go back to the ring. Larry 'The Axe' Hennig and Billy Robinson vs. The Jones Brothers After Decimation's attack following Robinson's win over Colley last week, Larry Hennig made the save and said he's a partner Robinson can trust. They gel well tonight as they take the Jones Brothers to wrestling school. Robinson executes a suplex then tags in Larry.
