That trade was with me and I announced it, so we're good to go Miz.

Guerreros continue their winning ways over Larry Z and Saito. Fun 8 man tag, Blackwell really did put an end to that. Chavo wasn't as successful as his brothers tonight but no shame in losing to Bock. Wow! Great seeing Sabu and Cactus rekindling a rivalry. Very impressive moment for Hall as he gets the fall on Rose. I knew it was only a matter of time before Zenk's hot streak got him some gold. Tanaka fought through injury and interference but his epic title reign comes to an end. That really was a great reign. I would of bought a ticket just for that tag title bout. Good teamwork by Piper and Orton. Glad we got a Steamboat/TNT rematch. Those were 2 fun matches. Steamboat with another solid title defense.

MACW releases manager Paul Jones

Mid Atlantic Roster Updated 8-22-18 Ted Dibiase Paul Orndorff Bad News Brown Honkytonk Man Buzz Sawyer Jimmy Snuka Mark Lewin Austin Idol Don Kernodle Sweet Brown Sugar Blackjack Mulligan Corporal Kirchner Tiger Jeet Singh Missing Link Jack Armstrong (The Flame) Rip Oliver Brad Rheingans Gama Singh Rob Fuller Bull Gantner Tony St. Clair Art Crews DJ Peterson Rocky Johnson Wendell Cooley Rick Rude Manny Fernandez Tracey Smothers Steve Armstrong Iron Sheik Ray Stevens Tui Selinga Super Samoan Sakalia The Cobra (Assassin 1) Kazuo Yamazaki (Assassin 2) Ben Bassarab Spike Huber Ken Timbs George Wells Mark Youngblood Chris Youngblood Johnny Rich Randy Rose Brickhouse Brown Jobber Pack- Scott Casey, Vinnie Valentino, Steve Pardee Jobber Pack- Mike Sharpe, Chick Donovan, Terry Gibbs JJ Dillon- Manager Rock Riddle- Manager Jody Hamilton (The Assassin)- Manager Tommy Rich- On loan until Jan. 1st

Of course my highlight was the Sports Shop. The charismatic visual of Chicky baby and Riddle is so awesome. Chicky is going to have to pay a visit to WTBS. Speaking of Chicky, if the Starrs can pull off a couple wins then he gets a pretty big opportunity at the LHW Title. I like how you incorporate your house shows on TV. I think the Sept 20th card will need close circuit as it's shaping up to be one historic event. Colon and Abby is going to be a war! Dutch and Jaggers is right up there. I wonder who's next for TNT? Good promo from Ayala, his match with Bigelow intrigues me. Battens, Caribbean Express and Santana get good TV wins. Fun tag team main event as Tamba scores the fall and really makes Chicky's day. Tamba and Leduc is another gem feud going.

I announced most of the deal I had with UWF but here's the rest. Ivan Koloff and Ole Anderson were set to come to Mid Atlantic on Oct. 1st. I currently have Tommy Rich on loan and he was set to go back to UWF on Jan. 1st. Also, if Miz takes over UWF, he now has King Kong Bundy and Terry Taylor officially on that roster.

Wow! That was one action packed show! Good start with the Payne interview and exchange with Madusa and Shaw. Shaw and Payne are heading for an explosive showdown. Levy's investment in Frazier is sure paying off. Lot's of chaos as Azrael, Brian X and Smothers get involved. Levy gets the title shot. AHS take advantage of Larry Z being gone as they do a number on Backlund. Sid versus Nord...YES! Wild main event. Morton and Eaton suffer the loss and suffer horrible beatings. Mero really takes it to Morton but I'm sure will pay big time for messing with his mullet. I wonder what kind of condition Eaton will be in next week for his title defense against Levy?? Poor Barry Horowitz, looks like he felt the wrath of an angry Shaw. I think we're in for another wild ride next week.

Fun 6 man tag to open. Dutch just couldn't keep it under control as Boyd and Crusher get the fall, while Dutch is dealing with Jaggers. Invader 2 gets a nice win over Merc 1. Invaders look strong as they get a good win over Victor and Chicky. Loved the brawling tag match (If you can call it a match LOL). Cool visual of Tamba and Leduc brawling while Owen and Santana are helped out. Ayala has been on a great roll of late. He's beating baby faces but showing good sportsmanship. Colon sends the fans home happy once again while Ron and Chicky get another garbage shower.

I totally agree on Kerry Von Erich. He's the NWA Champ and needs to be working. Just an idea, maybe for now, the current NWA members can at least have him defending at House Shows in the different territories. That would keep him traveling and still gives him exposure throughout the NWA.

Just to get caught up. MACW traded King Kong Bundy and Terry Taylor to the UWF in exchange for Honkytonk Man and Brickhouse Brown. To avoid spoilers, the rest of the trade will be announced at a later date.

Good to see the AWA back on ESPN. Douglas and Pillman will no doubt learn a lot from Dundee. Race and Scorpio is such a great contrast of styles match. Race looks to be on his A game here in the AWA. Impressive win for Furnas over Wellington. You're right, that Youngbloods/Can Am feud is really heating up. Poor Gagne, that was one brutal beating at the hands of Nord. The Snakepit has been on a vicious roll. Wild main event. When Piper is thrown off guard, you know it's pretty bad. Might take awhile for Tanaka to bounce back from this.

MACW trades Alexis Smirnoff to Portland for Ray Stevens.

MACW @ The State Fairgrounds, Nashville TN 8-17-86 The Renegade Warriors vs. The Fabulous Blondes w/Rock Riddle Warriors control early with some solid teamwork.

TV Title Bout Tommy 'Wildfire' Rich (C) vs. Tony 'Simply the Best' St. Clair w/JJ Dillon St. Clair and JJ are in the ring showboating and taunting the fans.

Cornette and the Midnight Express are riding high again. Looks like the US Express are next in line. Murdoch as expected calls out Lawler. When Murdoch is on his game, he's a dangerous man especially with Wright in his corner. Lawler seems to be ready for the fight. I have to say, I'm a little concerned for Bob Armstrong. No doubt he's one tough man but Nikita is on a rampage right now. I wonder who's managing The Demon and Devil's Duo? It wouldn't be a UWF show without a brawl. JYD, Dr. Death and Doom going at it with Akbar's men is UWF at it's best. Ivan reminds everybody of Nikita's path of destruction towards Magnum TA. Sean Royal continues to stack up wins.

Hot tag match to open the show. Owen scores the pin in this one but the brawl continues. Brad falls to Crusher with some help from Barrabas. I liked Brad's payback on Barrabas in the next match and helps his brother get the win. This has been a fun feud. Wild 6 man tag that could only end in chaos. Ayala gets a nice win over Invader 1. Good sportsmanship afterwards. Another crazy main event and once again the fans leave happy as Chicky takes the fall.

Luger and Simmons get their points across. Good TV win for Chavis. Azrael dominates Brian X. Liked the post match confrontation between X and Smothers. Smothers will be a nice addition to ECW. WOW! What a main event! That was off the charts! Everybody got to shine. Storylines went further. In the end Nord stands tall but it looks like somebody is out there watching him.

Boyd and Crusher get the best of the Battens tonight. They win a battle but I think this war is far from over. Speaking of winning a battle, Dutch did that by knocking Jaggers out with brass knuckles. Chicky was smart not messing with Dutch. Colon and Leduc make a great team and looks like the fans would agree. I'm sure they loved seeing Colon knock Chicky off the apron. I enjoyed the main event as it showed the Caribbean Express can hang with the champs. I know I would be hightailing it if the Medicos were chasing me with bats. Once again, great job with your loops, I'm really enjoying them.

MACW @ WTBS Studios TV Aired 8-16-18 Highlights are shown of last week's brutal assault on Bull Gantner by the Caspian Empire. Schiavone: Hello again everybody and welcome to another edition of Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling. With me as always is David Crockett. Well David... Bull Gantner storms the podium! Bull: Even though I'm still banged up, it's me and Smirnoff one on one tonight! I know Sheik is out of town, so I want to see how tough Smirnoff is on his own. Tonight, you go down Smirnoff! That's not a threat, that's a promise! Bull storms out. Crockett: Wow! That's one pumped up Bull Gantner. Yes, it will be Bull squaring off against Smirnoff in a featured match tonight. In another featured bout, the Renegade Warriors will take on the Fabulous Blondes. It saddens me to say, Rock Riddle will not be here tonight as him and National Champ, Arthur W. Crews are in Puerto Rico. Schiavone: Also in action will be Jimmy Snuka, Tony St. Clair accompanied by JJ Dillon, Brad Rheingans, Sweet Brown Sugar, former US champs Rocky Johnson and Wendell Cooley. The Missing Link and Mid Atlantic Champ, Paul Orndorff. Crockett: We will hear from US champ Ted Dibiase as well as Bad News Brown, Austin Idol, the Southern Boys, Paul Jones and his army. We also have a very disturbing message from The Assassin and The Flame. News on two big cards this weekend in Nashville and Raleigh. Should be an outstanding show. Let's go to the ring for the tag team debut of Ben Bassarab and Spike Huber, known as High Octane. High Octane (Spike Huber and Ben Bassarab) vs. Brad Kimber and Gary Williams Huber atomic drops Williams into the turnbuckles. Williams hits and staggers back and Huber hits a back suplex. Huber tags in Bassarab, They swing Williams to the ropes and hit a double hip toss then follow with a double clothesline. Bassarab gets on the top turnbuckle and crashes down with a flying knee. Later, Huber body slams Kimber. Huber picks up Kimber and executes the Airplane Spin then tags in Bassarab. Bassarab jumps off the top rope and crashes down with a flying leg drop to get the pin! The team's fast paced offense seems to have gotten them over with tonight's fans. Schiavone: Alright, impressive debut. Spike, good to see you back in tag team action. Huber: Thank you Tony. The last time I was here I was teaming with the great Pedro Morales. Pedro taught me a lot about what a tag team is all about and I knew I wanted to be back here in Mid Atlantic once I found the right partner. Well, I found him and he's Ben Bassarab. We hit it right off because we're both dedicated in the ring, in the gym and as a team. Ben: Man, it's so great to be here and Spike is exactly right. We're here to wrestle the best and climb that ladder to the US tag titles. As you just saw, High Octane is what we're all about baby! Huber and Bassarab high five and head back as the fans cheer. Schiavone: Ok, there you have it, High Octane everybody. We'll be back. Commercial Break 'Superfly' Jimmy Snuka vs. Tim Straw The fans cheer as Snuka swings Straw to the ropes and puts him down with a big chop. Snuka swings of the ropes with a jumping headbutt. The fans go wild as Snuka climbs to the top rope, flashes the sign and leaps off and hits the Superfly Splash for the pin! Snuka cuts a passionate promo on his upcoming US title rematch with Ted Dibiase this weekend in Raleigh. Snuka says Dibiase escaped with the title the last time but this time he wont be so lucky! 'Professor' Brad Rheingans vs. Alex Portman Brad shows off some solid chain wrestling then slaps Portman across the face. Brad swings Portman to the ropes and hits a quick gut wrench suplex. Brad picks up Portman, spins around him and executes a Bridging Cradle Suplex for the pin! Brad jumps up and down in celebration as the fans boo. Brad cuts a promo on how Gama constantly breaks the rules in order to win his matches and that's how he backed his way into a National Title match this weekend. He finishes by saying instead of being called the Great Gama, he should be called the Great Cheater! Commercial Break Crockett: Ok fans we want to take you to pre recorded comments by the United States Champion, the Million Dollar Man, Ted Dibiase. The chauffer opens the limo's door and Dibiase walks out. Dibiase: (Looks around with total distain) Jeez, I always know when I'm wrestling in Watt's territory. Bad News Brown, I'll start with you. You say you want to get your hands on me? Well, like I said, you're going to have to earn that right. Your fight towards me starts this weekend, when you face an old friend of mine...Stan Hansen! (Laughs) Good luck Brown! (Laughs) Now, Jimmy Snuka has signed to go another round this weekend in Raleigh with the Million Dollar Man. The bottom line is time is money to me Snuka, and I just don't have time for you anymore. Last time, I nearly beat you within an inch of your life, you got out by the skin of your teeth...this time you're going nowhere but down! (Another Laugh) Back in the Studio Footage is shown of Link's debut and brawl against Mark Lewin Missing Link vs. Lou Simms Link hammers away on Simms, then clamps on a bear hug and rams him into the turnbuckles. Link lifts Simms up and crashes down with a front powerslam. Link goes to the top rope and hits a diving headbutt for the pin! Link storms around the ring, holding the back of his head. Schiavone: Missing Link looks as dangerous as ever. He'll be teaming with Paul Orndorff this weekend at our big Nashville card and they'll be taking on the wild team of Tiger Jeet Singh and Mark Lewin. Fans in Nashville, please be careful. Speaking of Nashville, another top name appearing will be the Universal Heartthrob Austin Idol. Austin, come on over. You heard Rob Fuller last week, what do you make of his comments? Idol: Rob Fuller should change his name to Rob Full of It because your full of it Jack! He comes out here and sends a cryptic message then walks away smiling. Fuller! I knocked you out cold the last time we met. I was done with you but if you want more of a beating then brother come and get it! Commercial Break Sweet Brown Sugar vs. Lloyd London Sugar has the fans cheering as he back drops London. London staggers up and Sugar executes a flying headscissors. Sugar suplexes London then goes to the top rope. London slowly rises and Sugar hits the Missile Dropkick for the pin! The fans are cheering as Sugar waves to them then WHAM! He's nailed from behind! Schiavone: Wait a minute! That's Brickhouse Brown!! Brickhouse continues his assault then body slams Sugar and stomps away. Brickhouse goes out and slides a chair into the ring. Brickhouse picks Sugar up and drops him back on the chair with a Russian Leg Sweep! Officials run in to back Brickhouse off. Brickhouse goes to the podium. Schiavone: Brickhouse Brown! What was the meaning of that? Brickhouse: I want to talk about loyalty and friendship. I'll be real clear for all these idiots out here. (Pause while the fans boo) First off Schiavone, I want you, your idiot peers and all these idiot fans out here to refer to me as The Onyx Brickhouse. You see, me and my good friend Koko Ware teamed as the Onyx Express. I happen to love the Onyx name and also respect Koko. Another man I respect and teamed with is Norvell Austin. Our friendship goes way back. Now Norvell and Koko are teaming up in Portland and I wish them all the best. Let me tell you what kind of friend and person Sweet Brown Sugar Skip Young is. Months back, Skip Young was teaming with Norvell. Well, Norvell was having some personal problems and you know what Skip did? He left him high and dry! He told Norvell he didn't want to deal with him and he should leave Mid Atlantic! Schiavone: I don't think that's the way it happened at all. Brickhouse: Open your eyes! What are you Schiavone? A damn fool? That's exactly what happened. I'm here for Norvell because that's what true friends do. They watch out for each other. I'm also here to make sure I run Skip Young out of here. You hear me Young! Your days as a backstabbing jackass are over! Schiavone: Oh my, very strong accusations from the Onyx Brickhouse. Fans, I assure you, Sweet Brown Sugar is one of the nicest and loyal friends anybody could have. I'm really not sure where this is coming from. We'll be back. Commercial Break Rocky Johnson and Wendell Cooley vs. Carl Hillman and Vic DeMarco Johnson works over Hillman with rapid fire punches, winds up and knocks him back to his corner. DeMarco comes in and gets hip tossed and drop kicked by Johnson. Johnson tags in Cooley. They swing DeMarco to the ropes and put him down with a double back elbow smash. Cooley picks up DeMarco and hits the Oklahoma Stampede for the pin! Johnson and Cooley cut a promo and warn the Awesome Twosome that they're coming to Raleigh this weekend to win back the US tag titles! Footage from The Scope is shown of The Assassin throwing a fireball in the face of DJ Peterson. Crockett: Horrible act by The Assassin and Flame. I want to let everybody know that DJ Peterson is at home resting and is expected make a full recovery. That's great news. Now I want to take you to some disturbing comments made by The Assassin along with The Flame. A camera is panning the woods and hits a close up of a paper hung on a tree with DJ Peterson's face on it. The paper catches fire and burns up. The camera pans out and The Assassin is standing there. In the background, several trees have pictures of DJ Peterson on them. The Flame is in the background with a rifle. He aims and shoots at the pictures of DJ Peterson. Assassin: I wanted the cameras to come out here, at my expense might I add, because I want this message to be heard loud and clear. Last week that punk DJ Peterson went after my mask and tried to rip it off my head. This mask and all it's tradition that it represents was disrespected by that Punk Peterson! Peterson, you lay at home healing but that's nothing compared to what The Flame is going to do to you next time! Flame walks over and Assassin hands him a pistol. Flame shoots several times at another picture of DJ. Assassin: Now The Flame can handle you just like that! But that's to easy! You're going to suffer Peterson! You wont know when or where The Flame will show up but when he does, get ready for a beating like you've never had before! Commercial Break Crockett: Coming up now will be The Renegade Warriors taking on the Fabulous Blondes. Wait a minute, what's going on here? The Fabulous Blondes walk to the podium. George Wells and Ken Timbs are wearing sunglasses and smiling bright. Timbs: Davey Baby, Rock Riddle wanted to make sure you got this. Timbs hands Crockett something. Crockett: What's this? Wells: (Grabs Crockett's shoulder and smiles) It's a post card from Rock himself, straight from Puerto Rico. The Blondes take off their sunglasses and head to the ring. Crockett: (looking at the card and shaking his head) I don't believe this. Renegade Warriors vs. The Fabulous Blondes Quite the rivalry has been brewing and it shows as both teams just go at it. Back and forth action as each team shines. Blondes almost get a pin on Chris with double high knees off the ropes. Later, the Warriors almost win it with a double boot to Timb's face. In the closing moments Mark goes for a pin on Wells but Timbs breaks it up. Chris comes in and all four men brawl. The Ref loses control and signals for the Double DQ! The bell rings several times but the teams keep fighting. The Warriors swing both Blondes to the ropes and back drops sends them rolling out of the ring and to the back. The fans cheer as The Renegade Warriors stand tall. Schiavone: Oh my! That was another wild one between those two contending teams. Ok, fans I want to take you to some pre recorded comments from Stan Hansen. Hansen: I'm the NWA's worst nightmare because nobody can control me! I do whatever I want to do to anybody I want! And that sounds like bad news for you, Brown! Schiavone: Strong words from Stan Hansen as he meets this man, Bad News Brown this weekend in Raleigh. Brown: Dibiase! I told you, it don't matter who you put in front of me, cuz no matter what, I'm gonna get my hands on you! As for you Stan Hansen, yea, you're big, tough and bad but I'm from the streets of Harlem and I grew up fighting. So remember this Hansen, I've never lost a fight and I don't plan on losing to you! Commercial Break Tony 'Simply the Best' St. Clair w/JJ Dillon vs. Bill Richards St. Clair hits Richards with several European uppercuts then puts him down with a heels first drop kick. St. Clair does a cartwheel and showboats as the fans boo but JJ applauds. St. Clair picks up Richards and executes the St. Clair Plex ( Floating Bridging Double Underhook Suplex) for the pin! The fans boo as JJ wipes the sweat off St. Clair's forehead with a towel. JJ and St. Clair cut a promo on how St. Clair is going to beat Tommy Rich for the TV title in Nashville and finally the TV title will be around the waist of a true wrestler. Footage from Greenville is shown of the Southern Ramblers interfering and costing the Southern Boys their match with the Caspian Empire. Southern Boys cut a pre recorded promo and say they got a match with the Ramblers this weekend in Raleigh and they're going to administer some good ol fashion Southern Justice! Crockett: Ok those Southern Boys are fired up. Joining me now is Paul Jones, Blackjack Mulligan and the Southern Ramblers. Big weekend for you Jones. It's Rip Oliver facing Blackjack Mulligan inside the cage in Nashville. If Oliver wins, he gets 5 minutes in the cage (smiles) with you. Mulligan: If Oliver wins!? Paul, don't you worry about a thing. Oliver doesn't have a chance in Hell of beating me! Jones: You can stop smiling Crockett. I'm the one who should be smiling because in Nashville, Oliver's days - just like Jimmy Valiant's -in Mid Atlantic are over! I tried giving you a chance Oliver but you couldn't cut it. You've hit, kicked and beat me down! All that ends in Nashville when Blackjack Mulligan puts you down. I'm going to relish this and then I'm going to reach down and slap you right across your bloody and bruised face! As for the Southern Boys, you can rant and rave about Southern Justice all you want but my Ramblers are the real deal boys and this weekend you're going to learn that harsh lesson first hand! Highlights of the Oliver/Mulligan feud are shown Commercial Break Corporal Kirchner waves his American Flag and cuts a promo on Don Kernodle about their upcoming match in Nashville.

The crowd roars as Gantner flexes. Gantner goes to the podium. Bull: That one was for Smirnoff, this one is for Sheik! Officials are helping Smirnoff up. Gantner hits the ring, grabs Smirnoff, swings him to the ropes and knocks him out with another clothesline! Minutes later Smirnoff is stretchered out. Commercial Break Schiavone: Fans before we see Mr. Wonderful in action, just want to remind the fans in Raleigh of Saturday night's big card as Ted Dibiase defends the US title against number one contender Jimmy Snuka. The Awesome Twosome defend the US tag titles against former champs Rocky Johnson and Wendell Cooley. Another title bout has Arthur W. Crews defending the National Title against The Great Gama, That and a whole lot more. Also for the fans in Nashville, you heard it will be Rip Oliver and Blackjack Mulligan in the cage, if Oliver wins he gets 5 minutes with Paul Jones.

Another good loop. Flair and Santana is always a crowd pleasing match. Hogan/Savage clashing with Arn and Tully is pretty damn awesome. I like this feud going with Atlas/Bravo and the Russians. The Hennig/Valentine feud went up a notch. Valentine has been ruthless but Hennig seems ready for the challenge. Blade Runners and Nasty Boys have a wild brawl. This feud is giving both young teams good exposure. Looks like Herc and Hart are done with Roma. Hogan with a strong promo. Man, I cant wait for their body shop showdown. Savage putting Heenan in a cage and releasing the dogs made for some great TV and the plan worked as he gets Windham in the cage! The SNME card is stacked.

Couple of good tournament tag matches. Red Typhoons advance but man do they have a tough challenge ahead against the Atrocious Alliance. With Dump around, the odds don't look good for the Red Typhoons.

I wonder what will happen to Jacques? The Kokina/OMG feud keeps gaining momentum. Borne has been on a hot streak as TV champion. Embry must of been excited to team with Inoki and Maeda. MS-1 and Hillbilly Jim get strong TV wins. Owen brings his new attitude back to Lutte and Keith seems to like it. Liked the Battle Bowl Exhibition main event. Now Martel has felt the wrath of this masked man!

Another crazy start with a wild street fight! Loved the finish with Santana nailing Owen with the boot. Battens-Boyd/Crusher continue to trade singles wins. This is such an awesome way to build towards the inevitable big tag match. Fun 6 man as Jaggers really pulled out the classic (not wanting to go face to face with Dutch) heel tactic. Jaggers taunting Dutch at the end adds to the fans chomping at the bit to see Dutch finally get him in the cage. Colon once again sends the fans home happy or is it pelting Chicky with garbage that sends them home happy? LOL

Good wins for Warlord, Royal and Devils Duo. Looks like Doom-Haku/Barbarian is far from over. Magnum saves Ice Man from the wrath of Nikita. Cant wait for that explosive match. Classic Mid South 6 man tag that ends in a draw and keeps the feuds going. That cheating Dibiase pulled out all the tricks to get that win. That finish to the main event would of blown the roof off the place. Atlantis continues to rack up wins. Boone decimates his opponent. After Bart using the branding iron, I'm sure the US Express aren't done with the Long Riders. Fuller gets the best of Bullet Bob, thanks to the miraculous healing of Wright. Fun brawl between Slater and Bubba. I feel for Cornette when Slater eventually gets his hands on him. I think Lawler just made Murdoch's hit list. Title change! I figured it wouldn't be long before the Midnight's got some gold again. This should set up some fun rematches.

I like the Mero/Morton feud and Mero on commentary really adds to it. Eaton continues his solid reign as TV champ. Maximilian Payne returns!!! Shaw and Madusa are in serious trouble. The Levy segment was brilliant. His character is getting over. Larry Z gives Backlund some tough love and it looks like it worked as Backlund storms out with a chair to save him. It's great watching Backlund and Larry Z in the midst of ECW chaos. AHS are having a good run here. I'm sure Sandman will be looking for some payback on Simmons. Luger retains and showed no mercy on Sid's leg.
