Great segment with Lawler. I don't think the steel cage match will end well for HTM. I like the Magnum/US Express alliance. Magnum vs. Murdoch should be a good one. Dr. Death is fired up this week. Slater/RnR vs. Midnights/Big Bubba with Cornette handcuffed to Watts is Mid South wrestling at it's best. Royal hanging with Brickhouse bumps him up a notch. Fun ending as the numbers game is starting to even up with the Wright Army.

Paul E makes a huge statement and poor Gino Brito felt the wrath. Tommy Rich gets a hard fought title defense over worthy contender, Ray Rougeau. Kernodle might be getting in over his head here but then again he somehow has managed to keep that title around his waist. Good comeback win for Martel. I really liked Bullet Bob setting Candido straight. Goto and Savoldi was a fun match. Jumping Jim has been racking up some wins in Lutte. Looking forward to seeing the Portland stars compete here.

Another wild night! Nice win for Perez that causes the teams to brawl. Nice seeing Bart Batten get the fall in the 6 man tag. The taped fist series has become a favorite of mine and I look forward to their house show matches. Ayala pulls this one out. Another chaotic 6 man tag as the bat really comes into play here. Wild ending! Pleasantly surprised to see the Light heavyweight title match as the main event. I love the importance you've put on the Light Heavyweight division. Owen just couldn't hang with Invader 2 tonight.

Fun Card! When the opening match ends with that brawl, you know you're in for a wild show. Mercenarios get a good win but your last sentence summed up what I was thinking. The Battens might not win every match but I think they're having a pretty good run and gaining support. When I saw the participants for that 6 man tag, it turned out exactly how I thought it would. That's followed by a taped fist lumberjack match! LOL, no chance of chaos there right? Ron gets the win amongst all the craziness. Nice main event with Bam Bam retaining and Chicky playing it cool.

Poor Maximillian. For his sake I hope he gets cleared soon, then watch out Shaw! Morton and Eaton teaming up is tag team gold. Morton finally gets his hands on Mero and puts him in check...for now. Brad Armstrong showing some serious fire. I wouldn't want to be Brian X right now. Looks like Sid is heading for big things in ECW. Luger and Simmons continue to draw massive heat. Larry Z in ECW! Larry Z teaming with Sandman! How awesome is that. Well, Levy had a plan but it didn't work out so well. He better leave Azrael alone. I would defiantly but a ticket for Extreme Easter.

LOL, all good with Kernodle, Kev. I will say, Kernodle's career has had a nice rejuvenation. Man, poor Tommy Rich. Attacked by Sawyer and Singh in the same week. Kokina has been laying low but man did he come back with a vengeance on OMG. Savoldi with a big win over Bullet Bob. Then Candido makes it worse with a post match attack. Parsons gets a massive win over Jacques. Jacques seems to have lost focus lately. BTW, I'm also looking forward to more interpromotional matches. The road to Starrcade will be a good one.

I'm all for 90 minute shows! I like how you're incorporating house show footage into your TV shows. The tag team division is on fire and gets a great showcase tonight with Caribbean Express, Battens, Crusher/Boyd, Medicos and Starrs. The Santana/Owen feud has been a pure gem. "Try not to trip over anything" LOL, Chicky is gold! As always, fun main event. The Starrs taunting Medicos with the titles at the end is such a classic heel visual. Looking forward to the next loop.

Good build for two intriguing match ups. Doom and The Fab Ones is a great contrast of styles. Next you have arguably the biggest Mid South star ever, JYD taking on Hot heel Lex Luger. Add Ernie Ladd to the equation and this could be one money making feud. I like the build up for Atlantis. I also like the Landell/Brisco storyline and excited to see where this leads. Devastation Inc/Road Warriors will be an epic collision! I don't think Russia is going to be a vacation for Nikita.

Classic 80s match with the US Express and Assassins. The good ol days of wrestling, when wrestlers came out to mainstream songs. Boone might of loss the match but he did some serious damage to Wright. I like this Jarrett/Armstrong-Long Riders feud because it's showing that the champs can brawl when they need to. Honky Tonk Man might of bitten off more than he could chew with Lawler. Taylor and Murdoch is turning into a nice feud. Magnum gets some sweet revenge on Ole. Kerry wins the rematch with Nikita, solidifying him as a real deal champion. Kerry has some real momentum going now. Landell scores an impressive win over Bullet Bob. Feuding with Slater will only elevate Bossman. Chaotic 6 man title bout as the Freebirds found a way to win. Obviously Williams and Gordy have unfinished business. The numbers game was just to much for Parsons as Luger retains. You can never wrong with a RnR/Midnight Express main event. RnR sends the fans home happy and Slater nailing Cornette was a bonus.

I cant tell you how much I'm loving your house shows. You're doing such a great job with them. Hot opening 6 man tag to really get the crowd going. I've always enjoyed when tag wrestlers go one on one like here with Medico 1 and Merc 1. If I heard Owen was teaming with Chicky, I wouldn't hesitate to buy a ticket. Santana gets the pin on Owen, just adds more fuel to this heated feud. Owen/Santana has been one of my favorite feuds in this game. Colon and Invader 2 needed that win. Even though coming up short, Victor and Tamba make a pretty good team. Awesome main event as Ron evens up the series with a dirty low blow. I liked seeing this match in the main event.

Yea Good point Kev. I was just watching and reading about the Hot Summer Night Aloha Stadium shows they held in August during the 80s. They brought in a ton of talent for the shows. It was pretty cool. Anyways, just got me thinking.

I'm not sure if this has been brought up before so I wanted to run this by you guys. Would there be any objections to running a special event in Hawaii?

Beefcake and Houston are gelling pretty well and get a big win over Hot Stuff Inc. Fun 6 man tag as Tojo's men get a big win over the masked faces. Wow, tough night for Link and it ends with a fireball in the face! Dirty White Boys send the Southern Boys packing. I think Terry Funk might of had a rougher night than Link. Dr. D showed no mercy and wins the North American Title. That's bad enough, then Adonis takes full advantage and takes his Texas Title. Funk now has scores to settle with Hart and Pringle. Freebirds stand tall in the end with a victory over the beloved Von Erichs. Freebirds have been pretty dominant as 6 man champs.

That Omni card already looks like a big deal. Doom and Dr. Death will be a big challenge for the Freebirds. Road Warriors are really making their rounds in the NWA. I like this Demon gimmick for Adams. US Express/Iran Cuban Assassins program could be one of those mid card gem feuds. Classic Mid South face turn for Slater. Very well done. Cornette really made that work. Slater brawling with Bubba, yea I'm all for it. Taylor/Murdoch will be a good match but Taylor should keep his eyes on Wright. I wonder how long Dibiase can keep up this pace? He's going to have to deal with Terry Funk in WCCW and now he's dealing with JYD in the UWF. Ladd has some strong words and it looks like there's more to come. The UWF is on fire right now.

Always love seeing Mantel and Jaggers go at it, didn't seem like Leduc was to interested in it LOL. Owen and Santana are out of control. Only a street fight can only resolve this. Ayala gets the first taped fist win. I liked the clean match between Invaders and Battens. Just two contending teams wrestling. Man, Chick and friends have been getting the best of Colon and friends on the loop.

LOL the Brian X gimmick is classic 90s. I hope Maximilan can prove his innocence. Eaton continues to shine as TV champ. Only a matter of time when Morton squares off with Mero. Loved the Sid and Nord videos. These guys fit right in with ECW. Down the road that could be a big money feud. I'm sure Levy has something up his sleeve for Azrael. Man, Simmons and Luger are getting monster heat!

Great follow up from the Bash. Creative way continuing the Adonis/Street feud. Muta and Kendo training in Tojo's dojo is an awesome visual. Terry Funk going ahead with the match against Dr. D might be a mistake but I wouldn't stand in his way LOL. Nice interview with Kerry. I think he has what it takes to be a good drawing traveling champion. Southern Boys and Dirty White Boys are ending things once and for all. Fun TV main event featuring the Road Warriors.

MACW @ WTBS Studios TV Aired 7-26-86 Footage is shown from the Cotton Bowl of Kerry Von Erich defeating Nikita Koloff for the NWA World Title.

Dibiase: Boys, finally, we're able to leave the Mud Bowl. Although I did have a great time watching the two of you whip up on Dusty Rhodes and his stooge Bull Gantner in the War Games. What a beautiful sight that was. Purchasing your contracts was the best business move I've ever made and now we have King Kong Bundy working with us. Life is sweet but money is sweeter. (The Laugh) Now, as for you Terry Funk, you cost us the match you buffoon and you will surly pay. At least I get to beat up on your sorry excuse for a brother Dory up in Canada. Jimmy Snuka! Don't think I've forgotten about you. Unfortunately, next week in Greensboro I have to defend my US title against you. I say unfortunately because I actually have to wrestle a savage who wrestles barefoot. Jeez, this is so below my standards. I'm just going to have to beat you quick, get it over with and move on. Now boys, tell his savage buddies Polynesian Power, what's in store for them. Fernandez: Polynesian Wimps, we have some unfinished business Daddy and this weekend in Pittsburg, we're going to finish it! Rude: It's simple. the Polynesian Wimps just don't stack up to us. We're the better wrestlers and we're the better men. Dibiase laughs as the segment ends.

Commercial Break Footage is shown from Daytona as Mark Lewin's interference helps Tiger Jeet Singh get the win over Tony St. Clair in the Anything Goes Match.

Well, I'm a little nervous to bring him out but here's Tiger Jeet Singh. Huge boos as Singh comes out with Mark Lewin behind him. Singh swings his sword towards Schiavone as Schiavone quickly steps back. Schiavone: I need you to remain calm Mr. Singh. So what's going on here with you and this man, Maniac Mark Lewin? Singh: (Another sword swing that sends Schiavone running off) Run away! First, I told everybody exactly what would happen to Tony St. Clair. Now he's going back to his homeland a beaten and battered man. This man here (points at Lewin), is one of the few men in this world that I respect. He goes to that ring and he destroys! You will see just that in a minute. Now as for you Paul Orndorff, you are next on my hit list, you are next to bleed and bleed you will when I get my hands on you. I will have your head and I will have your title! Singh swings his sword at the camera then follows Lewin to the ring.

Idol: David Crockett, as far as I'm concerned the issue is over brother. It's time for Austin Idol to go after some gold baby and I'm looking for a shot... Idol is blasted from behind by Rob Fuller with a loaded towel! The fans boo as Fuller looks down at Idol. Crockett: Are you out of your mind? What are you doing? Fuller: Austin Idol, you might think this is over but I sure don't! Officials come out to check on Idol as Fuller walks off. Crockett: I think Rob Fuller just made a huge mistake. Fans, back to the ring. The Fabulous Blondes w/Rock Riddle vs. Lou Simms and Bill Richards Timbs swings Richards to the turnbuckles and follows with a charging knee to the mid section.

Well, as you also know, I have been the greatest Canadian International Champion in history. So that makes me the pride of Canada as well. Don't you see the history I'm making here? I'm the pride of two countries! Two! So I wanted to symbolize that and unify that pride with a special flag. This flag with my face on it represents the Pride of Kernodle! Kernodle smiles as he waves the flag around. Schiavone: I...I don't know what to say. Ok well, what about your feud with Corporal Kirchner? Those were some cheap tactics you used to get that victory. Kernodle: Tony, I came out here making history and you ruin it by bringing up the disgraceful name of Kirchner. How dare you! Kernodle walks off, stops and waves the flag as the fans keep booing.

Crockett: Ok, Rock, what's on your mind? Riddle: Come on Davey Baby, the Agency deserves a little more enthusiasm. It's cool, I'll let it slide. Well then again, I guess that somberness is fitting for what's first up on my agenda. You know in Hollywood, sometimes when an actor's studio contract is up, he ends up signing with another studio. It's just part of the business. Well, Tom Prichard and the Agency have parted ways but Tom is going to be just fine. I dealt with another great business man, who reminds me a lot of Hollywood. I'm talking about Luscious Johnny V. Johnny and Tom are a match made in Hollywood Heaven. Good Luck Tom. Now, you just saw Arthur W. Crews, the NWA National Champ in action. Didn't he look great. Crews holds up his title and puts a shine on it as Timbs and Wells smile and pat him on the back. Riddle: Right here and now, we are issuing a challenge to anybody in the NWA who wants a shot at this belt. Arthur wants to travel around and beat wrestlers in other territories. In other words the Agency wants to showcase its prized gem. Next up, there's a team that's gotten under my skin, the Renegade Warriors. They put on a real touching show as the Youngblood brothers have reunited. There's a real B movie for you. My Fabulous Blondes were robbed of their chance at the US titles but we're shooting right back up the ladder and we're starting with you Renegade Warriors. That's a lot to take in, right Davey Baby? Now next time I want you to liven up a bit. I know you got it in you Davey Baby, I know you do. Riddle leads his men out. Crockett: (Long pause) Fans we'll be back for our Television Title Bout. Commercial Break TV Title Bout Tommy 'Wildfire' Rich (C) vs. Alexis Smirnoff w/Iron Sheik Sheik and Smirnoff attack Rich before the bell. The Ref gets Sheik out of the ring and signals for the bell. Smirnoff puts the boots to Rich. Smirnoff body slams Rich, grabs the ropes and drops several knees then starts choking Rich with his boot.

Wrestlers from the back run out. Sawyer is laughing hysterically as the show ends.

Good response from the Russians and Ole after the big NWA title loss. I like this interaction going on between Brisco and Landell. Landell is very smart listening to a former world champ. Nice to see Parsons getting a good push but always beware of Ernie Ladd. Good angle with Wright, Long Riders, Jarrett and Armstrong. Their upcoming match should be a good one. Atlantis is making some waves in the UWF as he lays out the Devil's Duo. Lawler/HTM has been a fun storyline. Great face move by Lawler as he just gives the guitar to a kid. The look on HTM's face must of been priceless.

Armand might of scored the upset of the year beating Martel. Brunzell making Jacques submit might be a close second. Bittersweet night for the Rougeaus. Stud Stable put up a fight but the Road Warriors retain. Road Warriors are becoming quite the NWA draw. Main event was a wild one. Dibiase just seems to always find a way to retain the US title.

Fun makeshift tag match to start the show. Tamba and Leduc are really going at it and they're not even wrestling against each other. This really adds intensity to their feud. Caribbean Express get a big win. Love the 6 man tag match and craziness involved as it continues more feuds. The main event was the money match. I cant imagine how much Chicky infuriated that crowd. I feel bad for the clean up crew.

Classic 80s WWF TV. The 10,000 calls segment was great. The IC title picture is heating up as Valentine and Wahoo are in the mix. The feud between the Hart Foundation and Demolition is out of control. The Rockers taking on Tully and Arn will be a wrestling clinic. Hennig continues to look strong on TV, the way a TV champ should. Vintage Hogan TV main event. Really liked the MSG card. Hennig might of lost to Flair but he comes out looking strong after going 45 minutes. Fun 6 man as the patriotic faces defeat the Horsemen. Muta/Tonga is a show stealing match. Russians get a big win over the Bulldogs, making a statement that they're still in contention.
