United States Title Bout Ric Flair © w/JJ Dillon vs. Kevin Von Erich Apparently JJ is still a bit woozy because he's not out here with Flair. Kevin gets a great pop from the crowd which seems to aggravate Flair.

Kevin leaps off the top rope and hits Flair with a slightly off balanced flying cross body block but Flair rolls him over, grabs a handful of tights and gets the 1..2..3! Flair retains his United States Title.

Fun show. First Martel and Magnum now Martel and the King. This is awesome! After reading your dirt sheet, I cracked up at them saying Gilbert was so devastated by his loss to Horner, he left. That was great. Speaking of Horner, his style fits so well as a TV champ. Mr. Olympia makes Embry pay and could end up costing him the tag titles. Great seeing the Grapplers back in WCCW. Another stacked card coming to San Antonio.

MACW @ WTBS Studios TV Aired 3-22-86 Schiavone: Hello again everybody and welcome to another edition of Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling, with me as always is David Crockett. David, a lot going on tonight. We will see the team of Rocky Johnson and Wendell Cooley take on the Devil's Duo. On that note we will show you some footage from the Scope as a familiar face has returned to Mid Atlantic. David: That's right Tony and speaking of familiar faces returning, Blackjack Mulligan will be in action and we'll show you footage from Richmond and his involvement. Also tonight, Paul Orndorff will put up his entry in the Johnny Rougeau Memorial Cup against David Sammartino. We will also see some of our great tag teams in action such as Hot Property and American Made, plus the Soul Patrol will clash with the Caspian Empire. Rock Riddle says Tom Prichard is a fighting TV champion and will defend his title tonight. Schiavone: All that plus Tony St. Clair and Tully Blanchard will be in singles action along with Hacksaw Jim Duggan! We will also hear from the Universal Heartthrob Austin Idol! Well it looks like our first guests have arrived. JJ Dillon walks out with Ric Flair and the Andersons. JJ: Tony, just sit back and keep quiet because the Horsemen have something to say. Arn: Tony, I get so tired of being right and I don't want to toot my own horn but Toot Toot. The Andersons are still holding on to these titles which means we've continued to beat the best teams in the NWA. Now we've beaten the Road Warriors over and over but they still get another shot at us in Greensboro on the 29th. I promise you this Road Warriors, this is the last shot you get! Ole: The Road Warriors are just glutens for punishment. Come Greensboro, it's your final hurrah because after that night, we're done with you and we're moving on. I will take satisfaction of beating on you one more time and a beating is exactly what you're going to get. Flair: Whoo! Tell them boys! Speaking of beating up contenders, I've done just that since winning this US title. Last week it was Raymond Rougeau and this weekend in Wheeling it's gonna be Kevin Von Erich. Since I'm doing my part and defeating all the top names in the NWA, I want what's coming to me, and that's a shot at the NWA World Title! I'm starting to think Bob Geigel is on Ricky Martel's payroll. Schiavone: Hold on Ric... Flair: Quiet Schiavone! It all makes sense. I haven't received one rematch for the title since Starrcade. I've toured the NWA and beat everybody, then I win the US title and have defended against all comers. I want my shot! WHOOOO! You hear me Geigel! JJ leads the Horsemen out. Schiavone: Ok, a very frustrated Ric Flair. Fans lets go to the ring and watch a man who made quite a debut last week. Hacksaw Jim Duggan vs. Gary Williams The fans are behind Duggan as he body slams Williams several times. Duggan backs up and gets in his 3 point stance. Williams staggers to his feet, Duggan charges and nails him with a running clothesline for the pin! The fans cheer as Duggan heads to the podium. David: Welcome to Mid Atlantic Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Jim: Thank you David. I want to say Hacksaw Duggan is here to take on anybody who wants to get in the ring with me. I proved that last week when my old friend Terry Taylor was being assaulted by those no good Caspian Empire. Terry and I took care of them last weekend and I'm sure they don't want anymore of Hacksaw Duggan. So I'm challenging anybody tough enough to get in the ring with me. You want a good fight then sign on the line and I'll give you just that! Commercial Break American Made (Kirchner/Kernodle) vs. Tim Straw and Lou Simms Kernodle swings Simms to the ropes and hits him with a forearm smash. Kernodle hits a neckbreaker then tags in Kirchner. Kirchner picks up Simms and hits his Fallaway Slam for the pin! Kirchner and Kernodle cut a promo on the Assassins, saying this isn't over and they'll see them in the arenas. When they exit, Schiavone welcomes out Mark Youngblood. Mark: Last week my brother Chris lost a match to the Cobra. Now that's fine but the Cobra assaulted and hurt my brother after the match. There was no reason to do that. Cobra, you messed with a Youngblood and now you have to mess with another. I'm coming after you and if the Assassin sticks his nose in my business I'll chop him down. Schiavone: Well it looks like the Assassin's men have some enemies coming after them. Commercial Break Soul Patrol vs. Caspian Empire Fun competitive TV match here. The Caspian Empire break every rule they can when double teaming in the corner. The Soul Patrol come back with high flying moves by Sugar and hard knees and slams by Norvell. The Soul Patrol hit a double suplex on Sheik then jump up and are about to hit their double diving headbutt but Smirnoff hits a flying high knee from behind on Norvell, who crashes into Sugar. Smirnoff rolls up Norvell and grabs a handful of tights as the Ref counts 1..2..3! Smirnoff and Sheik roll out of the ring and celebrate to the back. Sugar helps Norvell up but Norvell pushes him away and puts his arms out. They argue for a bit as Sugar is explaining what happened. Norvell calms down and they leave together. Commercial Break Tony St. Clair vs. Clyde Putnam Tony has the crowd fired up as he back drops Putnam then follows with a heels first drop kick. Tony gets up on the top rope. Putnam gets to his feet, Tony fly's off the top rope and hits the body press for the pin! Tony heads to the podium. David: Tony, I received word that you have a match signed with Billy Robinson and if he gets Disqualified he will be suspended from Mid Atlantic. Tony: You know David, it seems Billy cant beat me in a wrestling match so he resorts to cheap tactics like pounding me with a chair. Well, now we get to see finally once and for all if Billy still has what it takes. Billy claims to be the best wrestler from the UK and calls me a phony. Let me set the record straight, Billy Robinson is a sham and takes short cuts. It's a disgrace how he represents the UK. The next time we meet Billy, I'm going to outwrestle you and pin you 1..2..3! Blackjack Mulligan vs. Roger Murphy The fans boo as Mulligan just stomps down on Murphy. Mulligan swings Murphy to the ropes and hits him with a flying back elbow smash. Mulligan stomps on Murphy's head then clamps on the claw! The Ref rings the bell. Mulligan applies more pressure on the claw then finally releases the hold. Mulligan holds up his black gloved hand to the booing crowd then heads to the podium. Schiavone: Ok fans, Blackjack Mulligan has arrived. Lets take you to some footage from Richmond. Footage of the Race/Snuka match as Snuka is ready to leap off the top rope but is pushed over by Mulligan. Mulligan stomps on Snuka then clamps on the claw. Schiavone: Blackjack, why target Jimmy Snuka and cost him a chance at the Mid Atlantic title? Blackjack: I did that to send a message to everybody in Mid Atlantic that Blackjack Mulligan has arrived! It didn't matter who I was going to make an example of but apparently Snuka had some unfinished business with some acquaintances so I volunteered to get some payback for them. I got my message across and they got some payback, two birds, one stone. Schiavone: They being the Stud Stable? Blackjack: That's none of your business Schiavone! The business at hand is Blackjack Mulligan is here and Mid Atlantic better watch out! Commercial Break Tully Blanchard w/JJ Dillon vs. Ken Jenkins Tully beats down Jenkins then hoists him up and hits the slingshot suplex for the pin! JJ runs in the ring and towels off Tully's head as the crowd boos. David: Ok, Tully Blanchard looks tuned up for his Canadian International title shot against champ, Jacques Rougeau this weekend in Wheeling WV. Fans at this time please welcome a man making his first televised appearance in a long time, I'm talking about the Universal Heartthrob, Austin Idol. The fans cheer as Idol walks out and gives them a smile and right arm bicep flex. Idol: David Crockett, it's so great to be here baby! Everybody knows that Austin Idol is the man of the hour and the toast of the coast baby! The fans boo as Tully Blanchard and JJ Dillon head over. Tully: Listen, you might be a big deal in wherever it is you came from, but buddy, you're looking at the real deal, a true ring technician and member of the most elite group in wrestling, the 4 Horsemen. What exactly have you accomplished? Idol steps up. Tully: Hey relax. I'll tell you what, I'm going to win the Canadian International title this weekend. So how about on the 29th in Greensboro, we can get into the ring and I can show you a few things. After that humbling experience, you can decide if Mid Atlantic is the right place for you. Tully gives Idol a couple of light slaps on the cheek. Idol looks at the crowd and winks then turns around and blasts Tully with a right hand! JJ comes forward but Idol clenches his fist and JJ backpedals. Idol: There's my answer baby, guess I'll see you in Greensboro, Jack.

If there's one man I hate more than anybody on this planet, it's Jimmy Valiant! I cant stand him! Why is he here! I guarantee you this, my man Johnny Rich is going to send Valiant out of here, for good! Once and for all! Out of my life! Rich: It's ok Paul, you wont have to worry long because after I get done with him, he'll be gone forever just like Brett Sawyer. Paul: (takes a deep breath) I know I can count on you Johnny.

Now I like you guys and the Agency is always looking for new clients. I come here to present you with an opportunity of a lifetime. I would like you boys to join the Agency. Now of course my Fabulous Blondes here will be the main team but you boys can be their opening act. You know, you get the crowd warmed up for the main attraction. What do you say? Riddle, Crews and Timbs are smiling and offering their hands. Travis and Savoldi talk it over. Travis: Tell you what Rock, we have a better idea. Why don't we wrestle your main attraction here next week on TV? I mean your boys shouldn't have a problem with wrestling an opening act like Hot Property right? The Blondes and Riddle's smiles drop. Riddle: Well I thought I saw something in you boys but in a rare moment, looks like I was wrong. You boys are very foolish. Get ready to be taught a serious lesson by the best tag team in Mid Atlantic. David Crockett walks over.

The show ends with Harley Race standing over Paul Orndorff.

I really love your house shows and the different kinds of matches you book. Some great examples are Snuka vs. Johnson and Murdoch vs. Benoit. Los Infernales get a strong win over the Rougeaus, that should put them in contention. Mr.Electricity couldn't of found a better partner. Leduc has been coming on strong lately. Rick Martel continues to defend his title against all challengers.

Oh man that was one great set up for WrestleMania 2 baby! During this time, that place would of erupted during that Hogan/Fridge-Dibiase/Bossman spot. Always fun to watch a Stan Hansen promo. Savage ending the show was perfect. Everything is set, WrestleMania 2 is going to be epic!

What a fun card! Love the battle of the Kenny Login's songs LOL. Man, Abdullah and Brody looked strong tonight! I was pulling for Caras and Canek but Power Rush were on their A game tonight. Despite their loss, the AWA guys are really getting over with the Japanese crowd. Absolutely loved the main event. Bam Bam put out an excellent showing against one of the best in Tenryu. That was an incredible finish by Tenryu. April 4th is going to be one awesome show.

I agree with the other posts, an uncontrollable Tonga can wreak some serious havoc! Love this Borne/Adonis program, so much fun. I wonder who Mr. Electricity will get as a partner??? I like this fired up Poisson .

Long Riders are the perfect champs for Billy Bob's. Gilbert was everywhere tonight. I'm sure he made a lot of enemies. Thanks for making the Mid Atlantic guys look strong. Lance and Jimmy Jack have a wild feud going on here. I continue to love the format of this show.

Another round of action packed cards. Poor Whatley, man he took a beating. Now Ladd goes out and gets Leroy Brown! Love the start of the RnR/Midnight feud here. Also cant wait for the Road Warriors/Dr.D, Barbarian showdown. However, it looks like the Warriors might have unfinished business with the Andersons. Like seeing Brad Armstrong getting a push. Slater finally puts Wahoo down (with a ton of help LOL) The Magnum/Martel dream team score a huge win over the Russians. Perfect set up for Martel/Nikita.

I agree, The entire NWA better watch out for Pringle's Dynasty. Brito is pulling off some big wins recently.

The storylines are really moving in the right direction. Liking the rise of Santana. Man, Chicky really has gotten under the skin of Barrabas. RPM's continue to build momentum and I like this new friendship with Castillo and Perez. Different Sports Shop this week as we saw a more serious side of Chicky. Love the comment about the Omni match. El Profe did a nice job of hyping up TNT. Fun main event. UT OH trouble brewing between Bam Bam and Barrabas. Not good for Barrabas.

Very exciting cards with something for everybody. Spivey could be turning into the AWA Hulk Hogan very soon. Bam Bam is continuing his dominance. The Guererros seem to have fallen on hard times. Furnas has been looking strong of late. The Pillman/Tanaka match would of given me my money's worth. The Piper's Pit/Snakepit feud is on fire right now. Looks like Kabuki taught Adnan a lesson. The AWA continues its hot streak!

Fun show with a lot going on. The seeds are planted for RnR/Midnights. Love seeing Ray Candy get some shine. Adrian Street just cracks me up in this Mid South setting. Aligning him with Rich and Armstrong is a smart move. Ernie Ladd threatening Baby Doll was quite a TV moment and really puts more heat on his feud with Luger. Cant wait for Slater and Wahoo to go at it in a street fight. Jarrett with another win over Landell is getting him over quickly. So happy we're getting the dream team of Martel and Magnum clashing with the Russians.

Yea, Dream leaving on a high note is fitting, especially in an insane match like that. Lafon and Furnas ending in a draw is perfect. Zenk with another strong singles win. Piper and Orton are tearing it up right now. I can totally see the Cobra Corps getting way over with the AWA fans. Spivey looks like he's gaining a following. Black Irish take the Southern tag titles! That's an impressive win over the Guerreros. Man, I cant wait for Steamboat and Bock. I continue to love the way you write your TV matches. You give such a great description of both the match and what's going on with the wrestlers. It's amazing how you keep all the storylines going without having to do a lot of interviews. That's a true talent. Great job!

Man, that card sure gave the fans their money's worth. Horner pulls off the upset and beats Gilbert for the TV title, that was a nice surprise. The Grapplers are back! Embry and Garvin get a strong win over the talented Southern Boys. Fun seeing Jacques defend his Canadian title in Texas. Oh man, first Dr. D and now Bad News is gone. They sure made the most of their time in Texas. Ron Garvin's win really sets him up as one of the toughest men in wrestling. The Funks helping Hart spells trouble for the Von Erich's, just ask Mike. Yea, I'm up for a Studd/Lawler rematch.

Yea, I figured teaming him with Taylor against Smirnoff and Sheik would be a great way to get Duggan over quick. I've got something major planned for him next month.

MACW @ The Coliseum, Richmond VA 3-16-86 Tony St. Clair vs. Pat Rose Tony arrived today from Canada but there's no evidence of jet lag as he looks sharp in the ring tonight. Tony swings Pat to the ropes and hits him with a diving headbutt to the mid section then follows with a hanging suplex. Tony gets up on the top turnbuckles. Pat staggers up and Tony hits him with a flying body press off the top rope for the pin! David Sammartino vs. Kelly Kiniski Kelly has control as he body slams David then follows with an atomic drop that sends David through the ropes. After arguing with the fans David gets back into the ring and Kelly quickly cradles him 1..2..David barley kicks out. Upset, David rakes the eyes then body slams Kelly. David stomps away then backs up and hits a running jumped delayed knee drop. David finishes off Kelly with a Backbreaker Rack for the pin! Soul Patrol vs. Fabulous Blondes w/Rock Riddle Good back and forth match with solid work by both teams. Blondes take control with a double elbow smash off the ropes to Sugar.

Soul Patrol make a comeback with a double back drop on Crews, Timbs runs in and gets a double back drop. Norvell headbutts Crews and follows with an elbow drop and cover but Timbs breaks the count.

The Blondes go to the outside and Riddle is jumping up and down hugging them. A few moments later, Sugar is helping Norvell up but Norvell pushes him and an argument follows. Cooler heads prevail as they end up walking out together. The Cobra w/The Assassin vs. Nick Kiniski Nick starts with some fire as he takes the Cobra off his feet with a couple hip tosses and drop kicks. Cobra takes control with a striking knee. The Cobra works Kiniski over then finishes him off with a Kneeling Reverse Piledriver for the pin! After the match, the Assassin gave some instructions to the Cobra. The Cobra stomped away on Nick, then got up on the top ropes and came down with a Senton!

Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling News Sources say Ric Flair is extremely unhappy with NWA President Bob Geigel and has been very vocal about it. Flair is upset at the fact that he has yet to get a rematch for the NWA World title. He told the Crockett's he would accept the US title on the condition this would guarantee him a World Title match. The Crockett's insisted he would get a title shot. Geigel however told Flair he would have to wait in line as the champ is booked solid. Flair feels this is the ultimate act of disrespect. He also feels the Crockett's aren't supporting him the way they should. On top of this, Flair, Tully and Arn are still having money issues with the Crockett's. They're tired of outsiders coming in and making more money for the big cards. Tully is very unhappy with his position with the company. He feels that every since he lost the US title at Starrcade, he hasn't been used properly. It was reported that he told David Crockett that Lutte did more with him on one TV show than the Crockett's have done with him in 3 months. There is also friction within the 4 Horsemen as the NWA wants the Andersons to drop the tag titles soon. Ole feels the reason is because of the constant "whining" from Flair, Tully and Arn regarding the pay offs. He told Arn, word has gotten around to other promoters in the NWA and this worried them and they feel they should have a more emotionally stable team representing the NWA. Arn has said he's very happy and fortunate to be a champion but agrees with Flair and Tully about the pay offs. He feels the Mid Atlantic roster can pack the houses and take home more money rather than pay big money to the outsiders. Arn thinks this is solely between them and the Crockett's and not about the NWA. Ole disagrees as he says it all ties in. Look for some roster changes as Ron Fuller, Bob Roop and Brett Sawyer are heading out and Tiger Jeet Singh, Blackjack Mulligan and Jimmy Valiant are coming in. The Crockett's brought Sawyer in strictly for a program with Johnny Rich. The Crockett's were very pleased and grateful to Sawyer as they feel he did a great job getting Johnny over. And of course the Crockett's are happy to have former Mid Atlantic favorites, Mulligan and Valiant back with them. They're also excited to have an international star like Singh arriving. Look for Singh to have a high profile match at the big Spring Spectacular show in April. Also abruptly leaving are the Nightmares. The Nightmares were unhappy with their positioning and wanted to turn heel but the Crockett's told them there was just no room on the heel side. To fill the Nightmares void, the Crockett's are bringing in the team of Polynesian Power, Tui Selinga and Super Samoan Sakalia. The plan is for Jimmy Snuka to give them a rub and announce their arrival on an upcoming TV show. Look for Mark Youngblood to get a singles push. The Crockett's want Chris Youngblood to gain some more experience by touring other territories. They feel this will benefit both Youngblood's. As mentioned, MACW's next super card will be on April 19th at the Baltimore Civic Center. Stan Hansen, Mil Mascaras, and Antonio Inoki are coming in. Rick Martel will defend the NWA World Title. Also on the card will be Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard, The Andersons, Hacksaw Duggan, Harley Race, Paul Orndorff, Tom Prichard, Austin Idol, the Stud Stable and more. It should be a great night as MACW returns to Baltimore. It should be noted that this card was a major topic between the Crockett's and Horsemen as a lot of outside talent is being brought in. In the end the Horsemen accused the Crockett's of not having enough faith in their roster which the Crockett's vehemently denied.

Glad you mentioned the Backlund/Robinson match. I really want to put these two in a program and tested the waters with the match in Norfolk.

To fill the Nightmares spots, MACW picks up Tui Selinga and Super Samoan Sakalia off the Free Agent List.

Edit, sorry wrong place

MACW sends Ron Fuller, Brett Sawyer and the Nightmares to UWF in exchange for Jimmy Valiant and Blackjack Mulligan.

Thanks for the comments. Yea, behind the scenes Flair isn't to happy about his situation right now. I'm very fascinated with Rock Riddle and glad we can put guys like him out there in this world. Don't worry to much about Austin Idol, big things are heading his way. Right now Mid Atlantic is putting him on house shows to get his chemistry going with the fans. He'll be making his TV debut next week and I think you'll like his first angle.

What a great show! First the Garvin and Embry segment had me rolling "I used to paint houses" LOL that whole segment was gold. Then the Funk segment was awesome especially in that scene. Nikita continues his dominance. Lawler coming in to face Studd will pack the house. The tag team division got hotter with two new exciting teams. Could a Steiner face turn be on the horizon? Amarillo card looks like a sure sell out.
