Good grief that Houston card is stacked! Magnum looks great as he tunes up for Nikita. Could Reed be heading for a face turn??? The Texas Tornados just might be the sleeper team in the tournament. Road Warriors/Warrior and Devastation Inc have a great brawl, which is a perfect way for the Road Warriors to get ready for Brody and Hansen in Houston.

Yea, Steve Doll was involved in the biggest match of his career against Jacques but looks like he gained respect from the Canadian Champ. Satanico gets a huge win over Rude and I believe he's earned that shot against Gordy. Lot going on with Paul E and the Creatchman Family. Love seeing the SST name making its debut. Gino Brito was on fire tonight. I really enjoy your shows because anything can happen each week on TV and on the house show loops.

That card was amazing! I love the way you give backgrounds on the wrestlers. Great job in showcasing the American talent. Thank you for the MACW rub. Loved the Sting/Shaw match, all kinds of fun. I'm sure the fans loved the team of White and Simmons. My favorite would have to be the Shinning Wizards. However my favorite name goes to the Facekickers LOL. Invaders get a nice win. You definitely accomplished your goal of showcasing the Young Lions and the fans got their money's worth tonight.

The Martel/Khan match is a fun main event. Martel can go with anyone. Great win for the Awesome Twosome. Cool seeing Jacques and Raymond involved in a 3 way. Must of been a hard match for MS-1. Benoit gets a big win over Keith Hart, who has been on a pretty good roll. Glad "The Great One" got a victory here. He's been losing focus in Mid Atlantic, looks like a trip to Lutte was exactly what he needed.

I agree, Scott Hall is a great choice for champ in this setting. This will give him some great exposure and experience. Dusty Rhodes in his corner and stopping Pringle must of tore the roof off the bar. Man, I'm hoping for more Long Riders/Nasty Boy brawls.

This kind of card is the reason the AWA would keep me buying tickets. The Guerreros seem to be slipping lately. Zenk continues to shine as he gets the pin on Sullivan in the 6 man tag. Slaughter/Bam Bam is an awesome clash and the finish hopefully sets up a rematch. Regal has a great showing against a red hot Tanaka. Good grief, that Piper/Jack match looked off the charts! Piper with a brutal victory. Rose and Sommers retain. I wonder which team can dethrone them. Spivey with a strong defense as his stock continues to rise.

Couple of great shows here. Pillman/Hector is a gem. I like the teaming of Spivey and Rotunda and they get a big win over Orton and Sawyer. Black Irish continue their winning ways. That Steamboat/Bock match is an instant classic. Zenk bending the rules a bit to get the win, wonder where this is going. Gaylord and Peterson are rising up the ranks quickly. Love the Regal/Taylor match. Tanaka is proving to be a great fit as Southern Champ, I think he's in line for a world title shot. Speaking of champs, Rose and Sommers continue to be one of my favorite tag teams. That Spivey/Piper match would of been awesome to see live. Looks like we could be seeing a Spivey/Rotunda-Piper's Pit feud down the line.

Great seeing the Superstar. Wow, Rip Oliver bald and it seems young Jarrett is pretty confident for their upcoming match. Still crazy seeing Fuller and Armstrong together but I love it! LOL, Dr. D just cracks me up. Wright has himself a dangerous stable with the addition of Murdoch. Rich and Slater put on a good brawl and it looks like Rich was robbed. Looking forward to a Rich/Gilbert showdown. Lots of great set ups here.

Outstanding TV! Yea, Nord's win over Patera is a big one. Gaylord and Peterson are on a roll and Sullivan has them on a path of destruction. Looks like Saito is bringing Larry Z's focus back...for now. Adams earns a shot at Garvin. That is an intriguing match and would get my money. Roberts takes out Orton with the DDT! I'm all for a Piper/Cactus brawl. Sullivan might think he has the upper hand on Pillman but he better think again. I'm looking forward to a focused Pillman who doesn't have to be distracted by Sullivan.

MACW would like to book Stan Hansen on May 10th

This is great, I get online and right off the bat get an action packed card from Houston. I'm hoping for a Horner/Ice Man rematch. There's something about this match that I find so intriguing. I love the variety of tag teams in WCCW. The Grapplers winning the 4 corners match was great. Dirty Rhodes lives up to his name as he gets in his first title defense. Garvin and Embry make a strong point, LOL I think Embry is smarter than we think. JYD gets a monster of a win over Stud, man that visual of him thumping Stud is something else. Looks like the Von Erich's are tuned up and ready for the Funks. Fab Ones and Garvin/Embry could be heading for a big feud. That was surreal seeing Lane take the racket shot from Cornette.

Great show from the Sportatorium. Wow, Dirty Rhodes takes the Texas title, didn't see that coming but man how fitting to have him hold the Texas title. That reign should be a lot of fun. Looking forward to the Ice Man/Horner TV title match. Cornette's promo was classic. Midnights versus Fab Ones would get my money. Nice adding JYD into the Studd/Lawler feud, with Lawler as the Ref, who knows what will happen. Looks like the Von Erich's have a big obstacle in front of them before they clash with the Funks.

Love the light heavyweight tournament matches. Kobayashi and Lane tore it up with Kobayashi advancing. Candido is making some waves in the NWA and just comes up short against crowd favorite Santana but I think he's earned the respect of the PR fans. Great seeing Dutch Mantel back, doesn't seem like he's lost a step. Cant wait to see Bam Bam return, should be very interesting. The Owen Hart story continues to be one of my favorites. I think Chicky is in his ear big time. The April 19th card is stacked!

MACW @ WTBS Studios TV Aired 4-5-86 The show opens with Jim Crockett sitting in his office Jim: Hello to all the fans in Mid Atlantic. I must make the announcement that Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson have left Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling after failed negotiations. The Crockett's wish them the best of luck but as the saying goes, the show must go on and we feel that we will continue to give our great fans the best in ring action, the NWA and Mid Atlantic have to offer. On that note, the United States title is now vacant. To fill that vacancy, we have decided to hold 2 battle royals, one this weekend in Norfolk VA and the other next weekend in Greenville SC. The winners of each battle royal will meet at the Clash of Champions, Spring Spectacular on April 20th at the Philadelphia Civic Center. Mid Atlantic is looking forward to the 2 day Spring Spectacular event. The Baltimore Civic Center will host part 1 on April 19th and as mentioned the Philadelphia Civic Center will host part 2 on April 20th. In Baltimore, NWA world champ, Rick Martel has signed to defend the title. On tonight's program Television Champion Tom Prichard will face Terry Taylor and the winner will face Rick Martel for the world title. We know that the great Mid Atlantic fans will help make this event a huge success. Thank you for your support. Live in the Studio Schiavone: Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of Mid Atlantic championship wrestling. Unfortunately David Crockett is away on business today and will not be by my side. Well, you heard the announcement, today's main event will be TV Champ Tom Prichard taking on Terry Taylor and the winner will face Rick Martel for the NWA world title on April 19th at the Spring Spectacular. The fans boo as JJ Dillon walks out to the podium. Schiavone: JJ, I'm actually surprised to see you out here today. JJ: Tony Schiavone, it was inevitable this was going to happen. The NWA and Bob Geigel had it in for the Horsemen from the start. I hope they're happy with themselves. Now, as for me, don't you worry, I adjust and I adapt. Right now I would like to address one Ole Anderson. After Ole's shoulders were pinned in Greensboro and the Road Warriors walked out with the titles, everybody saw what that ungrateful, bitter and selfish man did. He punched me out! Ole Anderson, you were always the weak link of the 4 Horsemen. That was proved in Greensboro. Ole, you are way past your prime and need to be in a retirement home. I said that a long time ago, but the other guys took pity on you. I went along with it because I knew they would be able to carry you and let me tell you, their backs got sore from doing that. So, after everything I did for Ole, all my loyalty, all the beatings I took for him, he thanks me with a punch. Ole, you my friend are going to pay dearly for that and I'm going to take personal satisfaction in seeing you suffer. Ole Anderson walks out....to some cheers???? Ole: You just stand there and keep your mouth shut, you no talent leech. Let me tell you something Dillon, I've been knocking guys like you out for 2 decades and I'm really close to knocking you out right now. JJ: Typical Ole. You know Ole, you're not just a bully but you're a downright loser! Ole grabs JJ by his collar and starts shaking him back and forth. All of a sudden, Ole is nailed from behind by King Kong Bundy!!!!! Bundy grabs Ole and throws him into the ring. Bundy body slams Ole then picks him up and swings him into the turnbuckles and charges in for a corner splash! Ole staggers forward and drops. Bundy drags him to the center of the ring, swings back off the ropes and hits a Splash! Officials come out to help Ole. JJ leads Bundy to the podium. JJ: (Smiling and straightening his collars) Tony Schiavone, remember, I adjust, I adapt. I would like to introduce you to my newest client, King Kong Bundy. Bundy stands in front of the camera with his hands on his hips, sporting a menacing look. Commercial Break Schiavone: Fans, I don't know what to say. Ole was taken to the Hospital. Wow, King Kong Bundy aligning himself with JJ Dillon can only be destruction. Fans, lets go to the ring. Polynesian Power (Selinga and Sakalia) vs. Jason Jones and Carl Hillman The fans seem to have taken a liking to Polynesian Power as they swing Jones to the ropes and nail him with a double super kick. Sakalia hoists Jones up and drops him with the Samoan Drop, Tui fly's off the top rope and crashes down with a flying elbow drop to get the pin! Schiavone: Great win for Polynesian Power. Ok fans, you all heard the news about the upcoming battle royals, with the winners facing off on April 20 in Philly to determine the new US Champ. Battle Royal 1 takes place this Saturday Night in Norfolk. Be there! Now, please welcome out Mark Youngblood. Mark, it seems you have had some issues with the Cobra and the Assassins. Mark: Tony, you saw what the Cobra did to my brother and until I get proper payback, this isn't over. I cant get payback because the Assassins keep interfering. Well, the last time they tried that, the one and only Mil Mascaras saved the day. It seems Mil wanted some payback on the Assassins. Well, since we both want the same thing, on April 19th in Baltimore, I'm going to team with Mil and we are going to take on the Assassins! Assassins, you better gear up for a fight and Cobra when we take care of them, you're next! Commercial Break "The Universal Heartthrob" Austin Idol vs. Tim Straw Idol swings Straw to the ropes and knocks him down with a back elbow smash. Idol grabs Straw's leg then drops an elbow. Idol clamps on the Las Vegas Leglock (Figure Four) and gets the submission victory! Idol heads to the podium. Idol: Tony, I'm in the battle royal baby, because the toast of the coast is here to win gold, daddy! Idol gives the camera a right arm bicep pose and wink. Schiavone: The Universal Heartthrob Austin Idol, back to the ring. Caspian Empire vs. Dave Penson and Gary Williams Sheik hits a gut wrench suplex on Williams then tags in Smirnoff. Smirnoff hits a back breaker then rolls Williams over, gets up on the 2nd turnbuckle and drops a knee to the back and tags in Sheik. Sheik applies the Camel Clutch and gets the submission victory! They head to the podium. Smirnoff: We proved why we are the most dominant team in the NWA! Nobody can stop us! We saw that Polynesian Power earlier and if they think they will rise the ranks, think again because we will put an end to that! Sheik: That's right! Polynesian Power (spits) you're just like these stupid Americans, you have no class and we will send you back to where you came from! Caspian Empire number one! Commercial Break "Boogie Woogie Man" Jimmy Valiant vs. Johnny Rich w/Paul Jones These two have been going at it lately and today is no different. They exchange blows and Rich stops it with an eye rake and kick. Rich suplexes Valiant back and follows with an elbow drop but Valiant kicks out. Valiant gets his dancing going and bites the forehead of Rich then body slams him. Valiant gets the crowd fired up. He picks Rich up for a suplex but Jones hits Valiant's knee with the cane! The Ref didn't see it and counts 1..2..3! The fans boo as Jones raises Rich's arm in victory. Schiavone: Another cheap win courtesy of Paul Jones's cane. Fans with me right now is Sweet Brown Sugar Skip Young. Skip, I understand your partner Norvell Austin is gone. Sugar: That's right Tony, Norvell has left Mid Atlantic so the Soul Patrol is no longer a team. But Sweet Brown Sugar is standing right here and I'm ready to climb the single's ladder. I'm here to say I'm gunning for the US title in the battle royal and I'm making the most of that opportunity brother! Commercial Break Jimmy Valiant limps out to the podium. Valiant: You just cant help yourself, can you Paul Jones! Real tough guy with that cane, aren't you! (Smiles) I've got a big smile because my voice was heard and a wish was granted. Because of your constant interfering, at the Spring Spectacular, it will be me and Paul Jones, one on one Jack! The fans roar. Schiavone: (Laughing) Oh my! I wish I could see the look on Paul's face right now. Fans back to the ring. Rocky Johnson and "Wildcat" Wendell Cooley vs. Roger Murphy and Lou Simms Johnson has the crowd cheering as he fires away on Simms, then swings him to the ropes and back drops him. Cooley comes in and hip tosses Simms to his corner. Murphy comes in and is dropkicked into the turnbuckles. Murphy staggers forward, Cooley picks him up and runs with him then drops him with the Oklahoma Stampede. Cooley tags in Johnson. Johnson swings off the ropes and lands a jumping elbow drop for the pin! Schiavone: Great win for the team of Rocky Johnson and Wendell Cooley as they climb the tag team ranks. The fans boo as The Stud Stable walk out wearing glitter robes with feathered collars. Golden: Nobody wants to hear about a couple bottom feeders like Johnson and Cooley! Fuller: Jimmy is right, now Tony Schiavone, you know as well as I do, everybody wants to hear from the United States Tag Team Champions, the Stud Stable. You like our new robes? You see, we've been champions for quite some time and when your champs, well your making a whole lot of money. Golden: (laughing) A lot of money! Fuller: So we thought we would spend some of our hard earned money and treat ourselves to these nice robes here. Now lets talk business. This young hot shot team, I believe they call themselves, Hot Property has earned themselves a title shot against us at the Spring Spectacular. Well boys, I'm afraid you don't have a chance because, well, you're just not on the same level as the Stud Stable. Commercial Break Jim Davidson is waiting in the ring when he's nailed from behind by Tiger Jeet Singh! Schiavone: Oh no, not again! Singh pummels away on Davidson then starts hitting him with the sword until he busts him open. Officials and wrestlers run in to stop him. Singh swings his sword around like a madman! Commercial Break Schiavone: Trainers are attending to Jim Davidson in the back. Fans, with me right now is Tiger Jeet Singh. Mr. Singh, your despicable actions have been noticed. I've been informed that you will not be allowed to participate in the US title battle royals. You will also be severely fined for your actions. One more thing, it seems like you want a fight, so that has been arranged. On April 19th at the Spring Spectacular in Baltimore, you will have a match and you will be facing a man you know well, Antonio Inoki! Singh: (Pauses) Is that suppose to intimidate me? If there is one man I hate more than anybody in this world it is Antonio Inoki! For the last 10 years I have beaten that man senseless and now you want me to fight him here, in this country. The blood of Antonio Inoki will be on your hands! Schiavone: Fans, I have witnessed some of their matches and I'm afraid there will be blood in that one. Fans, lets go to the ring as Hacksaw Jim Duggan makes his way out. Hacksaw Jim Duggan vs. Lloyd London The fans are on their feet as Duggan swings London to the ropes and shoulder tackles him to the ground. Duggan backs up and gets in his 3 point stance. London staggers up and Duggan charges in and puts him down with the clothesline to get the pin! Duggan goes to the podium. Duggan: Hacksaw Duggan is fighting in the battle royal and after I win that I'm taking that US strap! I told you I'm here to fight the best and what fight is better than a battle royal. Duggan leaves and American Made walk in. Kirchner: Tony, we're out here to say American Made has been on a roll and no doubt we are the team to beat! Kernodle: Hey the bottom line is we want a shot at the US tag titles and we will achieve that by any means necessary! And I mean by any means! Kirchner: I think what Don is trying to say is we have proven that we should be in line for a title shot and that we deserve it. Kernodle: Look Kirch, we go back a long way and I came here to team with you because we are proven winners. Damn right we deserve a title shot, the question is, why have we been overlooked? I mean we can beat Hot Property, why are they ahead of us? Kirchner: Don, I know you're fired up and I like that. Be patient buddy, we'll get our shot. Kernodle: Ok, Ok, but Kirch, I'm just about out of patience. Kirchner pats him on the shoulder and says something, then they walk out together. Commercial Break Blackjack Mulligan vs. Ken Jenkins Mulligan swings Jenkins to the ropes and hits a flying back elbow smash. Mulligan drops a couple knees on Jenkins's head then clamps on the claw! Mulligan wrenches it on and gets the submission win! Mulligan cuts a promo on Jimmy Snuka and says he doesn't care how hard his head is, he wont be able to withstand the claw! After Mulligan leaves, Tony St. Clair comes out to the podium. Schiavone: Tony, you have something to say in regards to Billy Robinson. St. Clair: Well, Billy once again gets by the rules and beats me again with the help of a chair. Billy! Enough is enough! At the Spring Spectacular, it will be you and me in a No Disqualification Match! You want to bend the rules? Well that's fine because in this match I can bend all the rules I want and believe me, I'm going to relish this match. Commercial Break "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff vs. Louis Campos Orndorff dives off the turnbuckles and hits Campos with a forearm drop. Orndorff swings Campos to the ropes and hits a diving knee. The crowd goes crazy as Orndorff makes the signal then picks Campos up and crashes him down with the piledriver! Orndorff counts along with the Ref 1..2..3! Orndorff heads to the podium. Schiavone: Outstanding win Mr. Wonderful. I've been informed that the match is signed for the Spring Spectacular. You will be facing Harley Race for the Mid Atlantic title. However that might change because both you and Harley will be involved in the US title battle royals. Orndorff: You know Tony, it just doesn't feel right that Mr. Wonderful isn't carrying around some gold. Well, now I get a shot at some serious gold. I'm here to be on top and the top is where I'm going to be. Harley Race, you put me down with your version of the piledriver, but you didn't put me out. I guarantee, my piledriver will put you down and out! Schiavone: Strong words from Mr. Wonderful, fans you wont want to miss these battle royals.

WHOOOOOO! The debut of all debuts! Man that was epic!!! The 4 Horsemen with Bobby Heenan is just to good to be true. I love the angle here with Hogan winning at WrestleMania is the reason the Horsemen are here. That was brilliant. How will Hogan respond to all of this??? This is a true game changer here.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. I love the different kinds of matches you put out there on house shows. Borne and Gilbert teaming up against the Creatchman Family is so much fun. Benoit teaming with Danny Davis to get a big win over Tonga and Charland. Then the fans get a huge bonus with that incredible 6 man tag. Without giving away to much in MACW, you did an awesome job in setting the tone. On top of all this we get a Gordy title defense and a Martel/Abdullah NWA title rematch. Great card!

LOL! The Adorable One is born! That was a fantastic build to this character. Big win for Candido! Really cool debut of the Swarm, looks like a career rejuvenation. Invader 1 comes to Lutte and gets an impressive win over "The Fish". I wonder what Creatchman really signed LOL.

Oh man that looks pretty awesome! Love the Middleweight Tag Team Tournament idea. April 14th is going to be one epic night for these young lions to really showcase their talents. Great booking!

Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling News Without a doubt, the biggest and most shocking news in MACW, was the departure of United States Champion, Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson!!!! Yes, 3 of the 4 Horsemen have left MACW and the NWA all together. As reported, for the last few months, the 3 men had money issues with the Crockett's. On top of that Flair had a major problem with President Bob Geigel in regards to his rematch for the NWA World Title. While, Tully had problems with the Crockett's on how he was being used, even resulting in a no show in Wheeling. While Arn was upset over the fact that him and Ole had to drop the NWA tag titles. He felt it was a punishment by Bob Geigel. It was reported that the Crockett's had a big meeting with the 3 men a couple days before the big Greensboro show. They offered the 3 men a new deal and basically the result was, it was to late. The key factor was Vince McMahon himself as he opened up his pocket book and his arms in welcoming Flair, Tully and Arn to the WWF. The deal was said to be monumental. After all this was spilled out in that meeting, believe it or not the Crockett's ended the meeting with handshakes and told Flair, Arn and Tully, they would always be welcomed back. They fulfilled their obligations in Greensboro and headed North. The Crockett's know this will be a tremendous loss to the territory and will be hard for the fans. They also know this will affect attendance in the arenas. However, they know this is a business and the show must go on. Sources say they were scrambling to bring in some top talent. One huge name they want is King Kong Bundy. The Crockett's have made a generous offer to Bundy both financially and positioning. Bundy was very keen on the deal and could be arriving very soon. The Crockett's also made calls to Rick Rude and Manny Fernandez and want to bring them in as a team, which is exactly what Rude and Fernandez wanted. Sources say preliminary conversations have gone well. There are major rumors that the Crockett's have their eye on another huge super star and they plan on presenting him with the biggest deal in MACW history. This is all the information on this, as the Crockett's are keeping this deal pretty air tight. In regards to Ole Anderson, he said he would never work for Vince McMahon and will stay in the NWA until his career is over. Flair, Arn and Tully leaving is a huge void but the Crockett's are confident that they can fill the void and get MACW back on track with the new talent coming in. It appears Norvell Austin has left MACW. Norvell had been upset that the Soul Patrol were being pushed down the card and then the Crockett's wanted to split them up and have Sweet Brown Sugar go over in the feud. Norvell saw the writing on the wall and decided to leave. As for Sweet Brown Sugar Skip Young, he will be getting a singles push. Look for a bit of revamping in the Paul Jones Army in the coming weeks. Once again, back to Ric Flair. Since Flair was US champion at the time of his departure, the title is now vacant. An announcement will be made on TV that there will be 2 battle royals held, with the winners of each battle royal facing off on April 20th at the Philadelphia Civic Center. The winner will be declared the new United States Champion. Speaking of that, The Clash of Champions: Spring Spectacular will take place in two different venues on two different nights. Part 1 will be in the Baltimore Civic Center on April 19th, where Rick Martel will defend the NWA World Title in the main event. Part 2 will take place on April 20th at the Philadelphia Civic Center. With Flair, Arn and Tully departing, the Crockett's hope that bringing in Stan Hansen, Mil Mascaras and Antonio Inoki along with the NWA World Champ will help ease things over with the fans and make this card a big success. Word is the cameras will be rolling as some big things are in the works.

MACW releases Norvell Austin and picks up Randy Rose

Martel with a great win over Abdullah! This just proves that Martel can go with anybody, which is why he makes such a great world champ. Great seeing Hot Stuff pop up here. Regal and Davis put on a crowd pleasing match. Yea, Keith Hart over Tonga is definitely a confidence booster for Hart. Satanico and MS-1 continue their fun feud. I know that's heading for something big. Once again, great job with booking outside talent. That's a real bonus for the fans.

Couple of outstanding cards. Spivey continues his rise to super star status. Larry Z seems to be making a comeback with Saito as his partner. Peterson and Gaylord continue to impress in the tag team ranks as Tom Zenk continues to move up the singles ranks. Black Irish are looking dominant. I like the Kabuki/Blackwell feud as both seem to be trading count out wins, which I'm sure is setting up for a big blow off. Piper gets a classic heel Piper victory over Jake. That 8 man tag would of given me my money's worth, man that looked insane. Cobra Corps might be in line for a tag title shot now. Tanaka and Adams put on a classic. I really like how you balance your cards out. Something for everybody.
