Good follow up from Easter Extreme. Highwaymen get a strong TV win. Ut Oh, Backlund is starting to get frustrated. Luger and Simmons stir it up with Chavis which almost comes back to bite Luger. Morton and Mero should be a fun program. Fun 6 man tag with all sorts of chaos. Like the Levy/Frazier pairing but doesn't look like Azrael is through with them. Shaw gets the fall on Eaton, setting up their big TV title match. Good way to end the show with a Luger/Sid stare down.

Hot opener as The Caribbean Express get a good shine here. Brad gets a huge singles win over Boyd as their feud continues. What a tag team street fight, involving 2 heated feuds. This time Dutch gets the better of Jaggers, if only for a short time. The Owen/Santana feud once again moves up a notch. Leduc is having a pretty good run here. Awesome main event! Colon and Medicos beat the Starr Corporation and send the fans home extremely happy.

MACW @ WTBS Studios TV Aired 8-9-86 Footage from Wheeling WV is shown of The Awesome Twosome defeating Rocky Johnson and Wendell Cooley for the US Tag Team Titles. Footage from Greensboro is shown of the wild double countout finish in the Dibiase/Snuka US Title Bout Schiavone: Hello again everybody and welcome to another edition of Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling. With me as always is David Crockett. Well David, new United States tag team champions. Crockett: That's right Tony. The Awesome Twosome end the incredible reign of Rocky Johnson and Wendell Cooley. We will see the new champs in action today. Also in action will be Canadian International Champ Don 'The Pride' of Kernodle, Sweet Brown Sugar, Rip Oliver, The Great Gama, The Southern Boys, Polynesian Power, Mike Sharpe, and our main event will be Bull Gantner taking on the Iron Sheik. I'm sure Alexis Smirnoff will be close by. Schiavone: A great night of action. We will also be hearing from Television Champ, Tommy Rich, Rob Fuller, Paul Jones, Bad News Brown, Rock Riddle and his agency. I understand JJ Dillon will be here today with a major announcement. Fans, before we get to our opening match, we have some pre recorded comments from the United States Champion, the Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase. A Limo is parked, the chauffer walks around and opens the door and Dibiase walks out. Dibiase: (laughs) Do you peons know what has made me the Million Dollar Man? Wise investments and big returns. I'm here to announce that I have sold the contract of King Kong Bundy-for a vast amount of money, might I add- to another brilliant business man, Skandor Akbar. Ahhhh, the poor get poorer and the Million Dollar Man gets richer. (Laughs) Speaking of wise investments, as you know my clients Rick Rude and Manny Fernandez are now the US tag team champions. Wow! Their stock just went way up! (Laughs) Next item, I hear Bad News Brown has accused me of orchestrating the recent attack on him at the hands of The Awesome Twosome. (smiles and pauses) Of course I did you fool! King Kong Bundy was a huge investment of mine and I had to make sure that investment was protected for my deal with Akbar. I also hear Brown wants a shot at me and my US title. Brown! Just like these minimum wage working stiffs out here, you're going to have to fight and earn your shot. Last item on the agenda is that barefoot idiot Fly. We have unfinished business Fly and the next time we meet for MY United States Title, I'm putting you to sleep with the Million Dollar Dream! (Laughs) Back in the Studio Schiavone: Oh my, I cant believe that blockbuster announcement by the Million Dollar Man. I have to give him credit, he is a shrewd business man and must of made a fortune off of Bundy. It looks like a lot of people are standing in line for a shot at Dibiase and some might get that chance this weekend as he will be involved in a gigantic 10 man tag match. Fans, lets go to the ring. Sweet Brown Sugar vs. Gary Williams Sugar back drops Williams then follows with a flying headscissors. Sugar body slams Williams then gets on the top turnbuckle. Williams staggers up and Sugar hits him with a beautiful Missile dropkick for the pin! Sugar goes out and slaps hands with the fans. Sugar cuts a promo and says he's ecstatic for his shot at the NWA National Title this weekend. He says he's earned this shot and is ready to win that title. Commercial Break Southern Boys vs. Tim Straw and Alex Portman Southern Boys are non stop during this match. They put a double arm bar and twist on Portman then double chop him down. Eventually Straw comes in and Smothers puts him down with a cross chop. Smothers tags in Armstrong (Who goes to the top turnbuckle) Smothers hoists Straw up and Armstrong nails him with a flying drop kick from the top rope to get the pin! Crockett: Man, those Southern Boys are exciting to watch. I'm expecting big things from them. Fans, please welcome out the Television Champion, Tommy 'Wildfire' Rich. Fans explode as Rich comes out with his TV title on his shoulder. Rich still looks a little banged up. Crockett: Tommy, you have had a rough couple weeks. First you suffer a brutal attack at the hands of Mad Dog Buzz Sawyer, then against Doctors orders you went up to Lutte to defend your TV title. That showed a lot of guts Tommy. Rich: You know David, I knew it was only a matter of time before Buzz and I crossed paths again and here we are. Buzz gave me one hell of a beating. Busted my head open and cracked some ribs. I only had a couple days to rest before heading up to Lutte. David, that's what a champion does, he defends his title, no matter what, day in and day out. That's the kind of champion I want to be and that's exactly what I'm going to do. Crockett: This would be the perfect time to announce that Mid Atlantic Wrestling will be heading into Nashville next week for a big card at the Fairgrounds. Nashville is a place you know well and you'll be defending your title that night. Rich: That's right David. I might not be one hundred percent but that don't matter because I still plan on remaining Television champ. As for you Buzz Sawyer! You didn't finish the job son! When your suspension is lifted, I'll be hear waiting for you boy and then you're going to wish you never stepped foot here in Mid Atlantic! Rich leaves as the fans cheer. Crockett: Ok, Television Champ Wildfire Tommy Rich! We'll be back Commercial Break Canadian International Champ Don 'The Pride Of' Kernodle vs. Dave Penson Don gets tremendous heat as he waves his Pride of Kernodle flag (With his face on it) to the crowd. Don snap mares Penson over and nails him with a knee to the back. He keeps his knee on the back and pulls Penson's head back. Kernodle vertical suplexes Penson then hits a reverse Neckbreaker for the pin! The fans boo as Kernodle waves his flag. Kernodle cuts a promo and says his flag has more power and significance than Kirchner's little American Flag because the Pride of Kernodle flag represents two countries. He says he's made history by single handily uniting two countries. He says Kirchner's name will only show up in the history books as loses to Kernodle. The Great Gama vs. Jay Halpern Gama swings Jay into the turnbuckle and hits him with several forearms to the chest. Gama hip tosses Jay and follows with a drop kick. Gama executes a backbreaker then applies the Boston Crab and gets the submission victory! Gama cuts a promo and says he's looking forward to outwrestling Brad Rheingans again. He says Brad is real tough when attacking from behind but not so tough face to face. Commercial Break Polynesian Power vs. Lou Simms and Roger Murphy Polynesian Power double body slam Murphy, swing off the ropes and crash down with a double headbutt. Later on, Simms gets chopped by Sakalia. Sakalia holds his arms while Tui comes off the top rope with a fist to the head. Tui tags in Sakalia. Sakalia hoists Simms up and crashes back with the Samoan Drop and tags in Tui. Tui fly's off the top rope with an elbow drop and gets the pin! Tui and Sakalia bump fists and hug as the fans cheer. The cheers turn to boos as The Assassins storm the ring and nail Polynesian Power from behind! They kick away on Polynesian Power. Cobra hits an inverted piledriver on Tui while Kazuo executes a brainbuster on Sakalia. Cobra gets on the top rope and hits a Senton on Tui. Kazuo drops several knees on Sakalia while Cobra goes to the top turnbuckle. Cobra crashes down with a Senton on Sakalia! The Assassin and Flame guide the Assassins out of the ring while officials run in. They head to the podium. Schiavone: Just what was the meaning of that? Assassin: You see those masks the Assassins are wearing? Those masks represent a tradition in wrestling. The Cobra and Kazuo are living up to that tradition. That was a message, plain and simple. The Assassins are going to destroy any team that stands in their way. Polynesian Power..stay out of our way. Now, as for that punk DJ Peterson. Yea, you pulled off a couple fluke wins against The Flame, big deal. Why don't you put that luck to the test? This weekend, you and The Flame, winner take all, loser leaves Mid Atlantic. (The Flame is nodding his head and sticks a fist up) Let's see if you got the guts, punk. The masked stable leaves. Schiavone: Oh my, pretty big challenge. We'll find DJ Peterson and get his response later on. As for the Assassins, I don't think Polynesian Power is going to let this slide. We'll be back. Commercial Break Mike Sharpe vs. Todd Rooney Sharpe eye gouges and hits Rooney with several hard forearms. Sharpe body slams Rooney, hops up on the 2nd turnbuckle and drops an elbow to get the pin! Sharpe taunts the fans and holds up both arms in victory. Crockett: Impressive win for Mike Sharpe. Fans, with me right now is Bad News Brown. Well Bad News, your assumptions were correct. Dibiase did in fact orchestrate that attack. Brown: Big surprise! The real reason why Fat Bundy is gone is because I ran him out of here! Dibiase! I don't care who you put in my way, it don't matter one bit because it all ends the same for you, me knocking you out with the Ghetto Blaster and taking your pride and title! Dibiase knows he cant hang with me in a fight so he thinks somebody else will do his dirty work. Dibiase! Aint nobody gonna beat me in a fight and that's bad news for them and you! Crockett: I wouldn't want to be Dibiase or anyone he sends after Bad News Brown for that matter. Commercial Break Rip Oliver vs. Bill Richards Paul Jones is at the podium while Oliver is wrestling. Paul is telling Tony Schiavone that Mulligan is going to destroy Oliver in Nashville next week. Oliver swings Richards to the ropes and back drops him. Oliver hops up on the 2nd turnbuckle and hits a flying clothesline to get the pin! The fans cheer as Oliver gets his ring jacket and pulls something out and heads to the podium to confront Jones. Schiavone: Easy gentlemen, easy. Jones: You better go home and get plenty of rest Oliver because you're in for the beating of your life next weekend. Oliver: No doubt about it, next week in Nashville, Mulligan and I are going to fight. But let's see what kind of fighter your man is. Lets see if he can back up all your talk. In my hand, I have a revised contract for that match. Mulligan and myself, inside a steel cage! No interference, one on one, man to man. Jones steps back and is at a lost for words. Oliver: What's the matter Jones, you and Mulligan yellow? Jones: (Red faced with anger) Gimmie that contract! You think we're scared? Then you're a bigger idiot than I thought. And believe me Oliver, you're an idiot. This is a dream come true because now Mulligan can finish you off just like he finished off that dirt bag Jimmy Valiant. Remember him? The guy you really let down. I don't know how you can live with yourself. Jones signs the contract then throws the pen at a smiling Oliver. Jones continues to berate Oliver while Tony is looking over the contract. Schiavone: Wait a minute Paul. Did you read this part of the contract? Jones: What are you talking about? Schiavone: It says here that if Oliver wins the match, he gets 5 minutes in the cage with you. Oliver:(huge smile) See you soon Paul. Jones just about passes out as he lays his head on the podium. Schiavone: (Smiling) Fans, we'll be back Commercial Break Highlights are shown of various fights between Paul Orndorff and Tiger Jeet Singh Crockett: Fans, the rivalry between Orndorff and Singh has really gone to another level. Well, this weekend Mr. Wonderful will once again defend his Mid Atlantic Title against Tiger Jeet Singh. You don't want to miss that one. Trust me. Ok, lets take a look at some footage from Greensboro. Footage from Greensboro is shown of Austin Idol defeating Rob Fuller in a Lights Out Match. Crockett: Fans, with me right now is Rob Fuller. Rob you don't look so well. Fuller: (Bandage on forehead) You know Tony Schiavone, this last week I've been doing a lot of thinking. I figure it's time to really make my mark here in Mid Atlantic. It's time to clean house and get rid of all the no good cheat'n bottom feeders. I will say, Idol, you got the best of old Rob Fuller. (Pauses and puts his cigar in his mouth) Yep, you really got the best of me. Fuller walks off, leaving a puzzled Crockett behind. US Tag Team Champions The Awesome Twosome vs. Carl Hillman and Vic DeMarco The champs storm the ring and hurl Hillman out of there. Fernandez swings DeMarco to the ropes and hits the flying forearm. Rude follows with the Rude Awakening and gets the pin! They hold up their US titles high to the booing crowd and head to the podium. Rude: I want to say right now that The Awesome Twosome are equal opportunity champions. We'll defend against anybody and everybody but make no mistake about it, you come knocking on our door and you're in for a real rude awakening! Tell them Manny. Fernandez: The Awesome Twosome are the champs and we're the talk of the town. Nobody can stop us Daddy! We're what its all about and any team who wants to come along for the ride well get ready to crash Daddy! They put the titles on their shoulders and walk out to boos. Schiavone: Lot of intensity from the new champs. Fans, here with me now is Dynamite DJ Peterson. DJ, you heard the challenge earlier by The Assassin and Flame. Your response? DJ: The Assassin and Flame call me lucky. Luck is when skill meets opportunity. I have the wrestling skill and twice I took the opportunity and won the matches. I'll be more than happy to put my skills to the test again. Assassin! Flame! I accept the challenge! The fans pop as DJ pumps his fists to them. Commercial Break Crockett: Fans, before we to a featured bout, joining me is Rock Riddle and his agency. Riddle walks out in a colorful suit while Crews and the Fabulous Blondes all come out wearing sunglasses and glittered vests. Riddle: Davey Baby has it been a week already? The road just isn't the same without you. So much is happening in the Agency so lets get this party started. This weekend my Fabulous Blondes get right back in contention when they beat those rejects from a bad western movie, the Renegade Divas. (Wells and Timbs laugh and high five) Now, my main man the NWA National Champion, Blonde Bomber Arthur W. Crews (Crews steps forward and polishes his belt for the camera) will be defending his prestigious title against that pesky Sour Brown Sugar. Crews: You know, every since winning this National Title, yours truly has been on a hot streak of success baby. There's no way that second rate chump Sour Sugar is going to beat me. Rock, this title stays in the Agency. After that, Rock and I head to beautiful Puerto Rico for a well deserved vacation. Riddle: Well deserved is right. Oh and Davey Baby, you mentioned a man you said was the true Blonde Bomber. What was his name again? Crockett: (Not amused) Ray Stevens Riddle: (Smiles and pats David on the back) That's it! Ok, I'll do some research and get back to you. But just remember Davey Baby, Arthur W. Crews is the one and only Blonde Bomber. The Agency leaves. Crockett: (pauses) Fans, back to the ring. Bull Gantner vs. The Iron Sheik w/Alexis Smirnoff The Caspian Empire are really taunting the fans and waving their flags. Bull charges the ring. Caspian Empire turns around and Bull double clotheslines them as the bell rings. Bull hurls Smirnoff out of the ring. Bull swings Sheik to the ropes and Gorilla Presses him. He presses Sheik several times then slams him down. The crowd goes wild as Bull is pumped up and flexes. Smirnoff runs in and gives Bull a high knee to the back. The Ref signals for the Disqualification! Smirnoff stomps away and body slams Bull. The fans start chanting Bull! Bull! Bull! Bull starts to get up and fires some shots on Smirnoff but Sheik loads his boot and stomps on Bull. They double team Bull, then Smirnoff goes out and grabs a chair. Smirnoff starts hitting Bull's back with the chair. Smirnoff goes to the top rope while Sheik puts the chair on Bull's back. Smirnoff crashes down with a knee drop on the chair. Sheik stomps on Bull's back then applies the Camel Clutch! Finally other wrestlers from the back hit the ring to stop this madness. Commercial Break Schiavone: Fans, Bull Gantner had to be stretchered out of here. Hopefully we'll get an update on his condition soon. Well fans, before we go, my guest right now is JJ Dillon. JJ it's been a little while. I understand you have a big announcement to make. JJ: Tony Schiavone, for the last few weeks I've been working on signing a new client. And I've done it! Now, this man doesn't need guidance, what this man needs is opportunity and I'm the man who can provide that for him. Tony Schiavone, please welcome out my newest client and prized possession... Tony 'Simply the Best' St. Clair! Schiavone: What! Oh my, you've got to be kidding me. I don't believe this. St. Clair walks out in a custom made suit and smiling. JJ: (Laughs) Believe it Schiavone! Let me take a moment and run down this man's impeccable wrestling resume. This man was the longest reigning British Heavyweight Champion in history. Then he comes here and what does he do? He outwrestles the supreme wrestling machine Billy Robinson. What does he do next? He goes toe to toe with the most brutal man in wrestling, Tiger Jeet Singh. And what does he get? Nothing! Not one time was he offered a title shot. That is outrageous and down right ludicrous. Well, that changes right now. Mr. St. Clair, I promised you opportunity and I got you just that. Next week in Nashville, you get a TV title match with Tommy Rich. St. Clair: (Smiles and shakes JJ's hand) You see Tony Schiavone, that's exactly why I came to Mid Atlantic, to win titles. Mr. Dillon. JJ: Please, call me JJ from now on. St. Clair: I cant thank you enough JJ. You truly are the first man here in Mid Atlantic to show me the proper respect that I deserve. To show my gratitude, I'm going to beat that wanker Tommy Rich and bring us the Television championship. JJ: Mr. St. Clair. St. Clair: (Smiles) Ah, JJ, please, call me Tony or Simply the Best. JJ: (Smiles) I love this guy. They leave to boos. Schiavone: Unbelievable. I still cant believe that. Fans, we'll see you next week.

I really liked the Brito/Charland match as it was 2 local vets squaring off. Brito gets the impressive win. Orndorff retains in a tough match with Goto. Nice win for Los Infernales. Ray Rougeau scores a stunning upset over Gordy. Borne gets a big win over OMG but suffers a double team beatdown. Cant go wrong with Andre in the main event. Maybe Ray needs to have a sit down with Jacques to help him get back on track. Jimmy finally gets what he wants. Very interesting match up between him and Kernodle. Will this be the end of Kernodle's reign??? Jarry Park card looks pretty stacked. Jacques facing old nemeses Black Bart might be exactly what he needs right now.

So great to see the AWA back! I've mentioned this before but Zenk has been on a stellar run in the AWA. Those Sheepherders really left Starr hanging. Chavo pulls off a huge upset over Saito. Nice contest between Blackman and LaFon. Maybe that was a smart move by Rose because Slaughter might of killed him. The Youngbloods/Can Ams feud has been fun and has elevated both teams. The Guerreros have been scoring some surprising singles wins, this time its Hector over Larry Z. Always nice to see Jake win with the DDT. With that win over the former champs, the Sheepherders put themselves in contention. Orton gets a solid defense over Kabuki. I'm enjoying Orton as the American champ. Damn! Harley debuts as Rose's partner! That's huge! Wow! Then Scott Hall comes back in the same match! Those fans in San Fran got their money's worth on that match alone. British Steel and Bullies has been another top notch tag team feud. All that and we get a Steamboat/TNT title main event with interference by Piper. Amazing night of action.

MACW would like to book Stan Hansen on Aug. 16th

Nice job on the house show continuity. Once again Dutch and Jaggers add more heat to their already heated feud. Battens fall but the heels needed this win. Love the tag team wrestlers in solo matches because (like in this match) really keeps the storyline interesting. Wild match with Owen and Invader 1. I laughed when Owen realized Chicky was gone and just took off. Crazy 6 man tag. Man, Chicky's bat was everywhere tonight. Chicky gets the fall and gets a lot of garbage thrown at him. The finish to the main event must of blown the roof off the place! Colon stands strong.

For me, I try to book the venues pretty close to real life at this time, even when I venture out a bit. For example, eventually I'll head out west for a couple loops but I wont book the Oakland Coliseum or Cow Palace, instead I'll book the Kaiser Convention Center and Civic Auditorium.

After that blockbuster deal, it's no wonder why Dibiase has so much money. King Kong Bundy adds even more destruction to Devastation Inc. I like this little program going with Devils Duo, Demon, Atlantis, Royal and Doring. Gives these guys a chance to shine. Landell needs to watch the numbers game messing with Luger. Brisco can keep Ladd away but there's still that sneaky Baby Doll. Nikita comes back with a vengeance! Ice Man better be careful. Wild main event! Dr. Death comes close but Akbar sends his men in. That really was a star studded brawl.

Chicky must have a baseball background because he sure knows how to swing a bat. I like how you use tag team matches to further feuds. I also use this logic quite a bit. Owen and Santana continues to be a gem of a feud. Jaggers gets the best of Dutch in this battle. Battens continue to rise. Loved the 6 man brawl. Starr Corporation get the big win. Awesome main event and how could it not be, with the Abdullah's teaming up against Colon and Leduc. It was as wild as to be expected.

Jimmy Garvin "It's not my fault" LOL. Paul E. making some strong challenges to the entire NWA. Zambuie Express get a nice win over Hot Property. Gino Brito in the Dangerous Alliance?!?! Wow! That's a pretty big shocker. Poor Jacques takes another fall and beating. On that note, Martel suffers another upset. Keith showing some serious aggression after the match. Good thing Bruce stopped him. Crazy that two of the biggest stars in Lutte (Martel and Jacques) are both going through a rough patch. I'm sure they will rebound. Wild main event involving the stars from Portland. Looks like Garvin delivered on his promise but Borne will no doubt be looking for some payback.

Savage wins it in dramatic form! The Savage/Windham feud has been one wild ride. Russians look strong and a power house feud with Atlas and Bravo should be fun. LOL, I liked the Bradley/Stamp pairing. Santana gets a good comeback win over Roma. A bit of friction going on with Roma and Hart. I wonder who Santana is bringing in? I like Ventura giving the rub to the Nasty Boys. Blade Runners/Nasty Boys is an ideal program right now for both teams. The Horsemen are gold once again. I'm looking forward to a Flair/Duggan series as Flair is the perfect seller for Duggan's explosive offense. SNME is stacked. I think Muta/Tonga will draw some good buzz.

MACW Spot show @ Valley Forge Convention Center, King of Prussia PA 8-8-86 'Cowboy' Scott Casey vs. Terry Gibbs Gibbs gives Casey some trouble with his gruff tactics. Gibbs swings Casey into the turnbuckles and charges in, Casey moves, clamps on a headlock and hits the Running Bulldog for the pin! Mike Sharpe vs. Steve Pardee Pardee works over Sharpe with some arm drags and arm bars. Sharpe gives Pardee a forearm shot to the head. Sharpe body slams Pardee, hops up on the 2nd turnbuckle and drops the elbow for the pin! Blackjack Mulligan vs. Vinnie Valentino Paul Jones is absent tonight. Valentino shows off his quickness with consecutive drop kicks and a flying press. Mulligan cut off his momentum with a lariat. Mulligan swings Valentino to the ropes and hits a flying back elbow smash. Mulligan stomps on the head then applies the claw to finish Valentino off. Mulligan lifts up Valentino and hurls him out of the ring then raises his black gloved fist to the booing crowd. Sweet Brown Sugar vs. The Cobra (Assassin 1) No Assassin here tonight. Fast paced match between old rivals. Sugar shines with leap frogs, arm drags, drop kicks and flying headscissors. Cobra comes back with knee strikes, suplexes and spin kicks. At the 15 minute mark, Cobra executes a shoulder breaker then follows with an inverted piledriver 1..2..Sugar gets his foot on the rope. Cobra cant believe it and yells at the Ref. Cobra drags Sugar to the center of the ring. Cobra goes to the top rope and comes off with a Senton but Sugar moves. Cobra crashes down. Sugar regroups. Cobra gets up to his hands and knees and Sugar dives over him with a rolling cradle 1..2..3! Big Pop from the crowd as Sugar rolls out to slap hands with them. Corporal Kirchner vs. Iron Sheik w/Alexis Smirnoff The fans boo heavily as Sheik waves the Iranian Flag around while Smirnoff waves the Russian Flag. Those boos turn to a defining roar as Kirchner comes down the aisle waving the American Flag. The bell rings but Smirnoff wont exit the ring. Kirchner runs over and clotheslines Smirnoff over the top rope but Sheik charges from behind and chokes Kirchner with his robe. Sheik loads his boot and stomps away on Kirchner. Sheik hurls Kirchner out of the ring and distracts the ref while Smirnoff stomps on Kirchner and hurls him back in the ring. Sheik gut wrench suplexes Kirchner 1..2..Kick out. The fans start chanting USA! USA! USA! Sheik swings Kirchner to the turnbuckles and charges in but Kirchner runs forward and hits a football tackle! The crowd roars as Kirchner comes alive. Kirchner swings Sheik to the ropes and hits a twirling side slam 1..2..Smirnoff gets on the apron and distracts the Ref. Kirchner runs over as Smirnoff hops down. Sheik comes from behind. Kirchner throws an elbow and accidently knocks the Ref down. Kirchner kicks Sheik in the gut, hoists him up and hits the Fallaway Slam and covers but the Ref is down. Smirnoff gets on the top rope and crashes down on Kirchner with a knee, then puts Sheik on top of him. Smirnoff drags the Ref over 1..2..3! Smirnoff helps Sheik up and gets him out of there as garbage is being thrown at them. NWA National Title Bout 'Blonde Bomber' Arthur W. Crews(C)w/Rock Riddle vs. Rip Oliver Oliver controls early with headlock takeovers and a scissor lock. An eye rake by Crews switches momentum. Crews starts to swing Oliver to the ropes but swings him back and nails him with a discuss clothesline. Crews swings Oliver to the turnbuckles and charges in with a knee to the mid section and follows with several more knees. Crews suplexes Oliver back. Crews showboats to the crowd as Riddle encourages him. Riddle taunts the crowd as well. Crews slowly goes to the top rope and showboats some more. Oliver gets up, runs over and slams Crews off the ropes as the crowd cheers. At that moment Blackjack Mulligan comes to ringside but Oliver doesn't see him. Oliver executes a vertical suplex, then swings off the ropes with a forearm drop 1..2..kick out. Oliver sees Mulligan and warns him. Mulligan is yelling at him. Oliver picks Crews up and swings him to the ropes but Crews reverses it. Oliver hits the ropes but is tripped by Mulligan. Oliver stumbles into a DDT from Crews 1..2..3! Riddle grabs the National title, polishes it and hands it to Crews. Riddle raises his arm while Crews holds up the title with his other hand. They exit the ring to boos. The boos get louder as Mulligan gets in the ring and stomps on Oliver then applies the claw! Mulligan wrenches the claw while the Ref is trying to stop him. Finally more officials run in to stop this. Mulligan puts his boot on Oliver's chest and holds his fist up. US Tag Team Title Bout The Awesome Twosome (C) vs. Rocky Johnson and Wendell Cooley The recent title change in Wheeling is announced to the crowd. These two teams go back and forth for 20 minutes, using a variety of tag team maneuvers. Johnson and Cooley hit double hip tosses, double dropkicks and a double suplex.

Rude comes in and hits consecutive delayed backbreakers on Cooley then tags in Fernandez. Rude stands in the corner and Fernandez gets on his shoulders and crashes down with a knee drop 1..2..Johnson runs in with a jumping elbow drop. Rude comes in and fights with Johnson. Fernandez tries to suplex Cooley but Cooley blocks it and suplexes Fernandez back. Rude rakes Johnson's eyes and charges at Cooley. Cooley and Rude fight through the ropes. Johnson and Fernandez are fighting inside the ring. Cooley and Fernandez are the legal men. After more fighting the Ref signals for the bell. A Double Disqualification. The bell keeps ringing but the teams keep fighting. Mid Atlantic Title Bout 'Mr. Wonderful' Paul Orndorff (C) vs. 'Maniac' Mark Lewin No surprise as the first few minutes is an all out slugfest. As they brawl on the outside, Lewin bearhugs Orndorff and rams him against the apron. Lewin then slams Orndorff's head on a table. The fans boo as Lewin gives them a demonic look. Lewin grabs Orndorff by the hair and hurls him in the ring. Lewin body slams Orndorff then chokes him with his boot. Lewin swings Orndorff to the ropes and bends down but Orndorff stops and drops an elbow on Lewin's head. Lewin wobbles, Orndorff grabs him and hits a belly to belly suplex. Orndorff regroups. Lewin staggers up and Orndorff scoop slams him, hops up on the 2nd turnbuckle and drops a double axehandle 1..2..Kick out. Orndorff swings Lewin to the ropes and a bionic elbow sends Lewin to the outside. Orndorff goes out after him.

Orndorff grabs Lewin and hits the short arm clothesline. The crowd roars as Orndorff gives the signal. Orndorff hoists Lewin up and crashes him down with the Piledriver 1..2..3!!! The crowd explodes! The Ref hands Orndorff the Mid Atlantic title and Orndorff, (favoring his back) raises the title high to the cheering crowd.

Poor Jacques is having a rough time lately. Candido puts up a fight but that Professor has a lot in his arsenal. Road Warriors continue to dominate. I don't know if anyone can stop them. Freebirds and Nightmares is a fun match up. Even though there was no interference, I wonder if Adias and Sunny are so worried about each other that it's causing them to lose focus a bit. Great main event that sends the fans home happy. I really like the shine on Matt Borne in Lutte.

So looking forward to Yokota vs. Sato for the title! Glamour Girls looked strong and advance as do the Jumping Bomb Angels. Dump and the Atrocious Alliance could end up ruling GAEA. What an intimidating faction!

MACW would like to book Mil Mascaras on Sept. 27th

Super Medicos show they're worthy challengers for the belts. Good TV wins for Santana, Battens and Tamba. Tamba has been built up well and the Battens have really become fan favorites. I'm expecting some chaos with Barrabas next week. The Dutch/Jaggers cage match is going to be one epic blow off! TNT gets a good comeback win. I missed his presence and I'm sure he'll make up for lost time. Another fun Sports Shop. I knew Chicky had a good reason for his loss. Solid contrast of styles main event. I liked the post match stare down with Bam Bam and Ayala.

WOW! Easter Extreme really delivered! Luger and Simmons make a statement with heat to start the show but it backfires on them later. Big win for Sid but Sugar Lips says he's still in the game. AHS retain against tag team legends. Mero gets some payback on Morton but I have a feeling Morton will come back with a vengeance. Cool seeing Tatanka pop up here, should be interesting to see what he does in ECW. I knew sooner or later Levy would have a surprise for Azrael and he does in the form of a 500 LB monster. Liked the video prior to the strap match. This feud has been built up so well and the payoff was sweet justice. Brad really gave Brian a true whippin at the end. Poor Backlund, falls to Nord again. One thing about Backlund, he wont give up. Wild and Crazy main event as these guys brawl all over the place. Even Tatanka felt the affects of this fight. The fans really went home happy after that finish. Awesome job!

Faces get the crowd going with a hot win in the opener. I liked the tag team members squaring off in singles matches. Bart gets an upset over Crusher while Boyd gets the C.O. over Brad. Shows how even this feud is. The last 2 matches were insane. Medicos and Santana really embarrassed the Starr Corporation. All out brawl to end the show. Chicky kinda left his men hanging tonight. First Victor then Tamba. Well I guess that's why he pays them the big bucks LOL.

Solid debut for Brady Boone. Los Villanos should be fun to watch in Portland. Blassie has quite the stable of awesome heel veterans. Heavenly Bodies and Lighting Express battling for the tag titles...YES! Summer Gold looks pretty awesome. Man, hard to pick a winner for the title.

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm having fun with Bad News Brown and now begins his fight to get to the man who orchestrated that attack. Can he do it alone? I'm also looking forward to The Awesome Twosome's title run. They should have some fun matches with Mid Atlantic teams as well as teams from other territories. I've got a couple more pieces to put together and Mid Atlantic will be set.

All good Edger, WCCW introduced Valiant today so I was going to announce it anyways.

MACW traded Hot Property and Jimmy Valiant to WCCW for The Southern Boys and Missing Link

Wow, the Samoans did a number on the Sawyers! It ends up costing both teams in the tournament. Hope Superstar has a speedy recovery. Good TV wins for Lightning Express, Baron and a debuting Ranger Ross. Fun main event as the Heavenly Bodies advance. I'm going with them to win the tag straps. Cant wait for Summer Gold!

Man, those fans were really lucky to see a stacked card like that in a H.S. venue. Fantastic promo from Terry Funk! That's a man on a serious vengeance tour. OMG, did Dusty just throw out a subtle challenge to Kerry? That could be mind blowing in Texas. Battle of the Belts delivered a great night of action. Valiant and Beefcake make quite the pair. Wrestling 2/3 get a strong win over Tojo's men. It's funny because I really like both of those teams. Hot Stuff and Street put on a fun match. A trip is all it takes for Adonis to put you out. Chaotic end to the 6 man title match. If this means a Road Warriors/Brody-Hansen feud then I'm all for it! Kerry sends the fans home happy with a successful title defense.
