Always fun watching a Duggan squash match. WOW! Paul Roma gets some serious payback on Hercules. Is this the return of the Young Stallions? Tito's mystery partner arrives-Blackjack Mulligan!!! Awesome stare down between Windham and Mulligan. Typical Horsemen beatdown until Andre saves the day! Two big surprises in one match, now that's great TV. Hmmmm, could we be getting a Flair/Andre program?? Nice MSG card. Savage solidifies things with Windham. The 6 man tag would of been worth the price of admission. Andre is coming back big time. LOL, I liked when Fuji put the tights on every now and then during this era. Hennig gets a solid defense over the Hammer.

Oh snap! Road Warriors vs. Hansen and Brody in a cage! Epic way to get things rolling. Cant wait to find out who Kerry will be defending his title against.

Cant wait to see the booking of 'New Attitude' British Bulldog. Also looking forward to seeing how Jerry Lawler does. IRL, I wish he would of been taken more seriously as a wrestler in the WWF. Randy Savage! I know he can still go. I'll be tuning in for sure.

Looks pretty cool. I like the looks of that Sting/Slater match. War Games should be a blast!

All sorts of craziness to start the show but what would you expect from a ECW lumberjack match. Strong finish as Eaton retains! Chavis upsets Simmons and gets a title shot but suffers a beatdown afterwards. Looking forward to that I quit match. That Mero/Barbershop segment was hilarious. Shaw wins a battle against Payne. I'm sure this isn't done yet. Fun way to end the show. Morton still has his fans LOL.

It's now been proven, what I knew all along. You're nothing but a gutless coward! I knew you didn't have the guts to fight me.

This weekend in Richmond, it's you and Austin Idol and I'm sure he hasn't forgotten that guitar shot you gave him. HTM: Let me tell you, all these great people out here and that imposter Austin Idol something. You're looking at the real deal baby. Nobody puts on a show like the Honkytonk Man. You can just call Vegas and ask them. I don't like cheap imitations and that's exactly what Austin Idol is. This weekend in Richmond, I'm going to sell out the Coliseum and get rid of that false Idol once and for all. HTM does a wiggle with his guitar and exits. Crockett: Fans in Richmond, you wont want to miss that one. Switching gears, I want to bring out Bad News Brown. Crockett: Ok Bad News, I believe I have some good news for you. It seems the board has heard Dibiase claim that you must fight your way to a US title shot. They have decided that you will wrestle Manny Fernandez at the Omni on Labor Day. If you win that match, you will wrestle Rick Rude the following weekend. If you win that match, you will get your shot at Dibiase. If Dibiase loses the US title to Jimmy Snuka, you will still get your match with Dibiase, as well as a future US title shot. Also, Rick Rude will be banned from your match with Fernandez. Brown: Good news indeed. I told you Dibiase, the result will be me beating you to a pulp. I don't care who I have to fight! However, I have unfinished business with both of your sissy boys.

Ivan: It's real simple Tony Schiavone, we just sent a strong message to every team here in Mid Atlantic. Every team better stay out of our way! Ole: Let me get something real clear. This isn't a Russian thing, this isn't an American thing. What you have here is a mean, rugged, experienced, and down right nasty team. The two of us have been around the block several times unlike those two young punks we just took care of. We're here to take care of business and get the job done. Ivan: Any team foolish enough to get in our way will suffer dearly. Schiavone: Chilling statement made by Ole Anderson and Ivan Koloff. Wow, fans we'll be back. Commercial break Bull Gantner vs. Lou Simms Bull swings Simms to the ropes then Gorilla Presses and slams him down. The crowd roars as Bull flexes. Gantner executes a vertical suplex and follows with a running jumping knee drop. Gantner swings Simms to the ropes, swings back for extra momentum then just about decapitates Simms with a vicious clothesline for the easy pin. Bull is pumped up and flexing to the cheering crowd. Bull cuts a passionate promo on the Iron Sheik and says he's going to send him out of commission just like Smirnoff! Crockett: A very fired up Bull Gantner. Fans, I want to take you some footage from a couple of days ago and what transpired between Jimmy Snuka and Ted Dibiase in Fayetteville NC. Pre recorded comments from both men will follow. Footage is shown of Jimmy Snuka hitting the Superfly Splash on Terry Gibbs to get the win. Snuka is celebrating with the fans when Dibiase ran into the ring with a chair and hit Snuka over the head! Dibiase then put Snuka out with the Million Dollar Dream! Snuka: (Bandage around head) Dibiase! I know you're running scared brotha. That cowardly attack on me just proves it. You were afraid Dibiase. Now you're really afraid because you didn't get the job done. I'm still standing! Come Monday night at the Omni, all the money in the world wont be able to get you out of our match. At the Omni, the Superfly settles the score. Dibiase: Snuka! Your name fits you so well because you're like that annoying fly that just wont go away. At the Omni, I'm going to swat down the Superfly once and for all. How appropriate to do this on a Holiday dedicated to all the working suckers, peasants like you Snuka. Just remember, if it wasn't for people like me, none of you peons would have jobs. Happy Labor Day! Dibiase laughs as the camera fades.

Oliver then put Paul Jones out of commission. What's on your mind? Mulligan: Tony Schiavone, you know I've been in my share of fights. I gave Rip Oliver everything I had and the man kept coming back and really took it to me. I respect that and I tip my hat to you Rip Oliver. As for what's next, I will just... The fans boo as the Southern Ramblers come out. Rose: Whoa Whoa Whoa, hold on a minute! Enough with this sappy speech. Where did you leave your guts Mulligan? Rich: Exactly!

As for Johnson and Cooley, like you said David, they'll remain former champions. Manny: That's right Daddy! They couldn't beat us fair and square so they resorted to cheating. Bottom line is, The Awesome Twosome are here to stay and it's time for Rocky and Wendell to go away. You're looking at the best Daddy and these titles say so!

Couple of solid shows. Saito ends the Guerreros momentum allowing his team to successfully defend the 6 man titles. Jake and Nord prove to be a dominating team. Jack goes down to the Adam's superkick. Slaughter and Hall with a great finish on Debeers. I could watch Garvin and Burke brawl all day. Zenk puts the challenge of Douglas down. What a tag team main event. Piper and Orton walk out with the belts and it looks like we might be getting a full on Steamboat/Piper program. Youngbloods get one up on the Can Am Express but I know this is far from over. Dundee beats Jack, looks like Jack is losing it and takes those frustrations out on the Ref. Harley looks like he has a lot of fuel left in the tank. Loved seeing the Perez use the Ally-copter to finish off Sabu. Sheepherders get a good win over Badd Company, sending them up the tag team ranks. Slaughter is really getting the best of Rose these days. Orton was one of the very best with the Superplex, just ask Pillman. Another awesome tag team main event. British Steel retain in a hard fought best of 3.

I would of paid good money to see Orndorff and Borne go at it. Los Infernales get a strong win over The Blond Outlaws. RPMs get a HUGE win over the Rougeau Brothers. The tag teams are really battling for contention. Awesome seeing Dibiase working (and paying) with the Flame. Brickhouse gets a good win over Embry. Embry has seemed to of lost his way of late. Cool main event as the storylines all intertwine.

Fun show! Candido better be careful, messing with Colon. Brito's been looking strong. Maybe his association with Paul E is paying off after all. Big win for Davis over Charland. The situation between Kokina and OMG continues to heat up. Good seeing Dibiase defending his title in Lutte. LOL, Crews and Riddle just walking away from Andre was hilarious but probably the only way Crews still walks out as champ. Andre had a fun run in Lutte. Garvin retains, then Sommers takes care of Jacques. A Garvin/Sommers alliance could be very dangerous.

The long awaited SNME and man did it deliver! Bravo gets the Canadian crowd going. Classic tag title bout as Arn and Tully squeak out a win against the Rockers. Muta gets mainstream coverage and sure makes the most of it. Muta is quickly making an impact. Harts get the best of Demolition and rid them for 6 months. Great Body Shop segment that really furthers this epic story. WOW! Flair puts a bounty on Hogan. I cant imagine everybody who is getting in line to collect. Epic cage match full of drama and suspense. Savage finally does it and stands tall with the title and Liz. What a perfect way to end the show.

Young Cactus is certainly building up his reputation here. Death Sentence get the win over the Youngbloods, with some outside help. Can Am's are defiantly showing a change attitude. Fun 6 man tag with Dundee's experience coming into play. Looks like we might be getting a Zenk/Douglas program. Cameron with a strong finish over Smiley. Chavo keeps the Guerreros momentum going with a win over Larry Z. LOL, classic post match tantrum from Larry. Nice TV main event with the Corps getting a strong win over Piper's Pit. I wonder what Piper has up his sleeve for Scorpio???

Goto opens with a strong win. Another fun makeshift team of Crews and Satanico, proving to be successful with a big win over the RPMs. Even with interference, that's still a big time win for Travis. Kokina and OMG are heading for an explosive showdown.

MACW Special Announcement Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling returns to the Omni in Atlanta on Monday, September 1st for a special Labor Day Event. United States Title Bout 'Million Dollar Man' Ted Dibiase (C) vs. 'Superfly' Jimmy Snuka 6- Man Tag Match Mid Atlantic Champ 'Mr. Wonderful' Paul Orndorff, Bull Gantner and The Missing Link vs. Tiger Jeet Singh, 'Maniac' Mark Lewin and The Iron Sheik Grudge Match Tommy 'Wildfire' Rich vs. 'Mad Dog' Buzz Sawyer Bad News Brown vs. US Tag Team Champ Manny Fernandez Flag Match Corporal Kirchner vs. Don 'The Pride of' Kernodle Winners get a US Tag Team Title Shot Polynesian Power vs. The Assassins w/The Assassin One More Time 'The Universal Heartthrob' Austin Idol vs. Rob 'The Stud' Fuller Plus other exciting bouts

Fun show that set up a lot of exciting matches. Luger and Simmons might be underestimating The Warhorse and looking past him towards their I Quit match. That could prove to be a big mistake. Good brawling tag title bout between two heel teams. Morton and Mero in a hair versus hair match should be a wild one with a fun conclusion. Payne saves the day. A lumberjack match in ECW will be beyond chaos! Strong promo by Smothers. Good seeing him get a shine here as I always thought he deserved better IRL. Man, Nord really took it to Sid. Nord is a dominating force here but looks like Sabu is gunning for him.

This was a fun card to read because of all the makeshift tag teams LOL. Let's start with Dutch and Candido. What a crazy team on paper but they upset the Nightmares! Looks like Poisson was a good luck charm for Martel as he scores the fall and gets back on the winning track. Invader 2 makes short work of Davis. Gantner beats Embry. I wonder where Embry goes from here now that he's on his own? Look at the roll Arthur W. Crews has been on. Granted Garvin helped a bit, but still, that's a win over Jacques . Brito and Smothers prove to be another successful makeshift team as they upset Los Infernales. Rougeau's and Harts would of been worth the price of admission. AWWWW, the makeshift team of Garvin and Medico 3 didn't keep tonight's theme going, but no shame in losing to the champs.

MACW @ Central Florida Community College, Ocala, FL 8-24-86 Chris Youngblood vs. Ken Timbs One half of the Fabulous Blondes goes at it with one half of the Renegade Warriors.

Cool seeing Garvin open the show. Orndorff and Gantner in a match for a shot against Garvin, really shows the importance of the title. Doug Sommers has been racking up some impressive wins.

Orndorff beats Gantner in a hard fought match. Orndorff versus Garvin will be a big draw.

Yea, I would say draft asap because like Edger said, the National Tag Team champions are there and there's a ton of great talent available. With the road to Starrcade approaching, this would give everybody time to reshuffle and plan.

Another wild ECW show! Opens with a bang as Luger clocks Sandman with the belt allowing the Highway Men to get a title shot. Lot of great storylines intertwining in that match. Payne and Shaw is going to be explosive. WOW! What a turn by Smothers! Smothers and Brian X could be a dangerous duo. Looking forward to the clash of titans match between Nord and Sid. Mero cuts a great heel promo. Eaton retains again! I thought Levy was going to win it but once again Azrael gets the best of him.

Always fun opening a show with a hot 6 man tag. Must of felt good for Santana, nailing Owen with that brass knuckles shot. Cool seeing members of different tag teams, teaming up as they take the Mercenarios to a DCO. Chicky must of been one heck of a baseball player as he's pretty good with a bat. That wont sit well with Ayala. Good change of pace match between Castillo and Medico. Clean match and good sportsmanship. Great main event that would of had the crowd rocking. I liked seeing Leduc get the fall.
