AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 12-1-88 Highlights are shown from Bloomington as the Fantastics win the tag team tournament to earn a world tag team title shot at SuperClash 3. Larry Nelson: Hello everybody and welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling. Tremendous show lined up. The Gunslingers will defend their newly won National tag titles against the former champs, Badd Company. Iceman Parsons goes one on one with Black Bart. In a special challenge match, El Canek takes on the Mongolian Stomper. Kerry Von Erich and Terry Gordy will be in action. And you will see footage of the SuperClash 3 AWA world title press conference. All that and more, so let's get to the ring. Terry 'Bam Bam' Gordy vs. Walter Pinkman Total squash for Gordy as he wins the match with a rugged Oklahoma Stampede, Nelson: Saturday December 30th at the McNichols Arena in Denver, the AWA will present SuperClash 3. One of the big matches signed will be Kerry Von Erich vs. this man, Terry Gordy inside a steel cage. Terry, you arrived on the scene at Brawls in St. Paul and right off the bat targeted Kerry. Since then, you guys have fought in parking lots and dressing rooms. How do you feel about the steel cage? And don't forget Kerry got the winning fall in WarGames. Gordy: WarGames? That's nothing! He had 4 other guys with him. At SuperClash, its just you and me Von Erich! You hear me boy! You might've survived WarGames but you won't survive me. I came here for one reason and that's to give you the beating of your life Von Erich! At SuperClash I'm going to get that job done. But you know what Nelson? Maybe I won't wait until SuperClash. Von Erich! You better have eyes in the back of your head boy! Commercial Break 'Thrilling' Tom Brandi vs. Carl Kellerman Brandi once again excites the crowd and gets the win with a missile dropkick. Nelson comments that Brandi is still undefeated in the AWA. Commercial Break Iceman Parsons vs. Black Bart This started when Bart interfered and costed Parsons his chance at the TV title. After some heated promos, this match was signed. The bell rings and these guys hammer away on each other. The Ref tries to break them up but both men punch him down. Parsons and Bart keep fighting. The Ref staggers up and signals for the bell, ruling it a double DQ. Parsons knocks Bart through the ropes. Bart staggers around and grabs his cowbell. Parsons is telling Bart to get in the ring. Bart yells up at Parsons then goes over and snatches the microphone. Bart: Hey Parsons! Since you think you're such a tough guy, why don't we have ourselves a real brawl. You and me at SuperClash in a bunkhouse match. That way I can kick your dug gum teeth down your dug gum throat! Parsons grabs the announcer's mic. Parsons: Well, hey, I've been in plenty of street fights, so that works for me. You're going to seriously regret this you rooty poo! Parsons does a little dance while Bart gets pissed and swings his cowbell around. Commercial Break Crusher Blackwell vs. Neil Jordan Blackwell hits an avalanche in the corner. Jordan staggers out and goes down on his back. Blackwell hits the big splash and it's all over. Blackwell cuts a promo and tells Kokina that at SuperClash he's going to show him why he's the baddest big man in the AWA. Commercial Break Nelson: You saw at the top of the program that it was the Fantastics winning the tag team tournament. Their reward will be a world tag team title shot versus the Guerreros at SuperClash. Speaking of tag teams, next up for them will be the annual pre clash tag team battle royal. The winners will receive a National tag team title shot at SuperClash. That takes place on Saturday December 23rd. Let's take a look at one of the teams participating. The San Juan Saints vs. Sam Smith and Ray Glader The Saints come out in their Puerto Rican flag themed pants and matching gold medallions. They're impressive and win the match with a double suplex followed by stereo elbow drops. Commercial Break Special Challenge Match- NO DQ El Canek vs. The Mongolian Stomper 2 weeks ago, Stomper thought he put Canek out of wrestling and was going to be 250,000 dollars richer. Greg Gagne sent the check last week but before Stomper could collect. Canek stormed out with fists flying. Canek issued this challenge and Stomper wants to collect the bounty money. The bell rings and these guys proceed to fight inside and outside the ring. Stomper gains the advantage and goes to work on Canek's back. Stomper slams Canek outside on the concrete then just stomps away. Stomper grabs a cable and chokes Canek with it. The fans cheer as Canek starts to rise. Stomper is on Canek's back, choking him with the cable. Canek uses all his strength, rises up and back pedals Stomper into the steel post. Canek regroups. Stomper staggers up and charges but Canek clotheslines him with the cable! Canek starts choking Stomper with the cable. Canek wrenches away as Stomper spits up. Canek releases Stomper, picks him up and slams him down on the concrete. Canek picks up Stomper and slams him down again on the concrete. Canek hops on the apron and crashes down with a leg drop on Stomper! Canek goes on the apron again and comes down with another leg drop. The Ref sees enough and stops the match. Canek picks up Stomper and swings him into the steel post. I believe that was a message to Greg Gagne. Canek looks down at Stomper, then walks away. Commercial Break 'The Fortunate One' Gary Young w/Dream Machine vs. Harold Bannister Dream cheers as Young gets the win with the tornado DDT. Nelson: Ok, I understand the Dream Machine has a very special announcement to make. Dream: Damn right I do! This is big news Babay! I want everybody to listen up. Especially you Mr. Olympia and you too Steve Keirn. It's been way to long since the Dream Machine has been in the ring. Well, the Dream Machine will make his triumphant return at SuperClash 3. That's right babay! It's going to be the Fortunate One Gary Young and myself teaming up to take on those losers Olympia and Keirn. Mr. Olympia! My man Gary Young has beaten you up to many times to count and at SuperClash, he's going to beat you up some more. As for you Steve Keirn. You wanted to stick your nose in our business, well now you're going to pay and pay dearly. Young: SuperClash is going to be a dream come true for me. I mean how fortunate am I to be able to team up with my hero and mentor, the Dream Machine. Those two morons don't stand a chance. Dream: That's right babay! Commercial Break 'Mr. Wonderful' Paul Orndorff vs. Trent Watkins Orndorff's pumped up tonight and wins the match with the piledriver! Nelson: Mr. Wonderful, it was made official last week by the C.O.O. Gerry Morrow. Larry Zbyszko will defend the AWA Mid America Title against you at SuperClash. However, if Zbyszko gets disqualified or counted out, he will in fact lose the title. Orndorff: I have to give our C.O.O. credit, he made the right call. Larry Zbyszko, we all know you're a proven coward. You've hit me with your title belt not once but twice. So, I have to wonder, what is a coward like you going to do with no coward's way out? And to our AWA C.O.O. Gerry Morrow, I would hold off on that toast you promised the coward. Go ahead and save it for me because at SuperClash I'm going to piledrive that coward's head through the mat and walk out of the McNichols arena with the AWA Mid America Title. Commercial Break Nelson: Fans coming out now is Sgt. Slaughter. Massive boos as Slaughter comes out in full military gear. He gives a distain look at the fans then at Nelson. Slaughter: Stand at attention maggot and that's an order! Nelson: Last week Gerry Morrow gave you permission to choose your opponent for SuperClash 3. I understand you've made a decision. Slaughter: Yes I have! I look around at these pukes and it makes me sick. These people are the reason why this country has become weak! The person I've handpicked as my SuperClash opponent is exactly the kind of person I'm talking about. My opponent will be that punk Tom Brandi. Nelson: Tom Brandi is a tremendous talent. He's yet to be defeated in the AWA and has been called a real blue chipper. Why him? Slaughter: Because Tom Brandi is just like all of these pukes out here. He's nothing but a long haired hippy pretty boy. He's weak and lacks guts. He's soft, young and dumb. The AWA needs to be cleaned up and at SuperClash I'm going to make an example of Tom Brandi. I want the world to see what I do to him. And especially you Nikita Koloff. Because when I'm done exterminating that puke, you're next you lowlife commie! (looks at Nelson) You're dismissed! Commercial Break 'The Modern Day Warrior' Kerry Von Erich vs. Neil Jordan The fans roar as Kerry puts Jordan down with the discus punch for the win. Nelson: I've been told that Terry Gordy has been escorted off the premises. Kerry, you will get your chance at SuperClash inside the steel cage. Kerry: Hey, nobody has to escort Gordy anywhere. Anytime you want to fight Gordy, I'm here and I'm ready! All you've talked about is how you're going to beat me up. Well guess what? You've tried a few times and I'm still here and I still want more. At SuperClash, we're both going in that cage but trust me, I'm the only one walking out. Commercial Break AWA National Tag Team Title Bout The Gunslingers (C) vs. Badd Co. w/Baby Doll Baby Doll distracts the Gunslingers as the bell rings, which allows Badd Co to attack. Baby Doll exits as Badd Co work over the Gunslingers. Badd Co swing Mantell to the ropes and put him down with a double back elbow smash. Badd Co pick up Casey and deliver a double suplex. The Ref gets some order. Tanaka works over Casey and puts him down with a karate kick, then tags in Diamond.

The Ref turns around, runs over and counts 1..2..3! BIG POP! Winners of the Match and STILL AWA National Tag Team Champs- The Gunslingers Commercial Break Nelson: Wow! What a match that was. The Gunslingers are still your National tag team champs. Next week I understand we're going to have a message from Greg Gagne. I've also been told that Carlos Colon has accepted the chain match challenge from Buzz Sawyer and we will hear from Carlos next week. Ok, before the program ends we're going to show you footage from the AWA SuperClash 3 world title match press conference. Let's take you there now. The Press Conference is held at the Oxford Hotel in Denver There's a long table with a podium in the middle. A big SuperClash 3 banner is hanging in the background. On one side is Nikita Koloff wearing a white suit with the world title sitting in front of him. On the other side is Ray Stevens wearing a brown suit and Jumbo Tsuruta wearing a black suit, white shirt and black tie. AWA C.O.O Gerry Morrow and Brenda Britton along with Verne Gagne and other AWA representatives are standing in the back. Several reporters are taking pictures. Here's some comments that were made. Ray Stevens: Jumbo Tsuruta is a human wrecking machine. This man is an icon in Japan and his accomplishments there are unprecedented and uncontested. Here in the states he's a former world tag team holder and Crockett Cup winner along with several regional titles to his credit. There's only one goal left and that's the AWA world title. Jumbo has reached the highest peak and his talents are now on full throttle. Nikita Koloff, you're the only obstacle in his way and trust me and SuperClash 3, Jumbo Tsuruta is going to bulldoze and steamroll his way over you and get what's rightfully his, the AWA world title. Nikita: Let me make something very clear to both Ray Stevens and Jumbo Tsuruta. Nikita Koloff is no push over. Nkita Koloff lay down for nobody and nobody steamrolls over Nikita. I win this title and fight everybody and nobody can beat Nikita. I respect Jumbo Tsuruta but he will fall just like the others. After the press conference, Nikita and Jumbo pose for pictures, It's intense but no fists are thrown. On the way out, Jumbo stares at Nikita, then punches a hole through the table.

LOL! I love how RPG perked up when Bert was talking about Thanksgiving food. Hmmmm, I'm also curious on why the Nightmares snubbed the Renestos. I do think this is the perfect place for the Nightmares. Champ Michaels looks good but he's got a variety of opponents vying for a shot. DJ's pissed and I think there's a gimmick match coming soon. Nightmares start and end the show on a high note.

I agree with Kev. This has been very informative and has helped me get a better understanding of the UWF. I'm looking forward to Backlund and the Russians coming in. Maeda is really putting something special together.

AWA @ The Met Center, Bloomington MN 11-25-88 Tag Team Tournament-Winners get an AWA World Tag Team Title shot at SuperClash 3 First Round The Fantastics vs. The Glamour Boys Lanny Poffo is booked elsewhere tonight. The night starts with a bang as the Fantastics and Glamour Boys put on a tag team masterpiece. Both teams take turns showing off incredible teamwork. The match is fast paced and exciting. It's a see saw roller coaster ride that keeps the fans on the edge of their seats. The announcer informs the fans, there's only one minute left. As the clock ticks, both teams end up in a pier six brawl. With 10 seconds left, Doll swings Rogers into the turnbuckles, but Rogers hops on the turnbuckles and comes back with a reverse press on Doll 1..2..3! Fantastics win with just one second left! Winners of the match- The Fantastics Venomous vs. Gama and Tiger Jeet Singh Former National champs Venomous want another chance at some gold. However, recently the Singhs have targeted them and vow Venomous will not advance. Venomous use their speed and quickness while the Singhs break every rule in the book. Venomous impress the crowd with their high octane offense. The Singhs get the heat with their brutal and vicious style. Venomous have things going their way as Kat goes to the top rope, but Gama (from the apron) runs over and pushes Kat off. Cobra runs in but the Ref guides him back. This allows the Singhs to hit a double rib breaker on Kat. Tiger covers as the Ref runs over and counts 1..2..3! Winners of the match- The Singhs The Bruisers vs. The Mean Machine Dream Machine is booked elsewhere tonight. Mike Miller and Rip Oliver recently joined forces and aligned with Dream Machine. For some reason they had a problem with the Bruisers and attacked them. Bruisers said they're going to get payback tonight. This one is hard hitting and stiff from the start. Both teams beat the hell out of each other while the Ref has a difficult job keeping order. As the match goes on, things get more out of control. Finally, the Ref has no choice but to disqualify both teams. The bell keeps ringing but the fists keep flying. Official Ruling- A double disqualification The Rose Cousins vs. The Wild Ones Yet another grudge match in the opening round. These teams have been battling all over the loop and recently the Rose's scored a televised win over the Rich's. The Rich's weren't going to forget. The fans get a good old fashion southern fight. These teams are so evenly matched as the match goes back and forth. Both teams fight but also show off some impressive tag team skills. Things get hard hitting as both Randy Rose and Davey Rich get color. While Pat is working over Johnny, Davey runs in but gets dropkicked back to his corner by Randy. Davey pulls out a pair of brass knuckles. As Pat hoists Johnny up for a suplex, Davey runs over and nails Pat on the back of his head. Johnny falls on top as the Ref runs over and counts 1..2..3! Due to the earlier double DQ, the Wild Ones advance to the finals. Winners of the Match- The Wild Ones Semi-Finals The Fantastics vs. Gama and Tiger Jeet Singh Another contrast of styles match up. The Fantastics put their experience, speed and quickness to good use as they control the opening minutes. The Singhs turn things around, when Tiger (from the apron) nails Fulton with a knee to the back. The Singhs take turns battering and pummeling Fulton. Fulton stays alive and manages to finally tag in Rogers. Rogers cleans house for awhile but the Singhs come back with a vengeance and work Rogers over pretty bad. Rogers somehow survives and finally tags in Fulton. Fulton's on fire as he takes it to Gama. On the outside, Tiger gets his sword and gets on the apron. Gama rakes Fulton's eyes and swings him towards Tiger. Tiger has his sword up but Fulton reverses things and swings Gama into Tiger's sword. Tiger falls off the apron as Fulton rolls up Gama 1..2..3! The Fantastics are in the finals. Winners of the match- The Fantasics Intermission During the intermission, the AWA World Tag Team Champs, Hector and Chavo Guererro are announced and will be sitting at the announcer's table for the finals. The Finals The Fantastics vs. The Wild Ones Both teams have been through a lot. Davey Rich's forehead is bandaged up and both Fantastics took quite a beating from the Singhs. The Fantastics start the match with some pep as they have the Wild Ones bouncing all over the ring. After a few minutes, fatigue sets in and the Wild Ones take advantage. Johnny and Davey take turns working over the Fantastics with quick tags and stiff double teaming. They hoist Rogers up and deliver a double suplex but Rogers kicks out. Moments later, the Rich's go for a double clothesline but Rogers ducks, swings back, dropkicks both Rich's, dives over and tags in Fulton. Fulton knocks the Rich's heads together and keeps up the momentum. The Rich's come back and this time work over Fulton. They break a lot of rules, then swing Fulton to the ropes and hit a double hot shot 1..2..NO! Rogers breaks it! The Rich's double team Rogers, but the Ref guides Johnny back. While that is happening Rogers hot shots Davey on the top rope. Johnny runs back in but Fulton back drops him. The Fantastics swing Davey to the ropes and hit a double dropkick 1..2..3!!!! The Winners of the match and tournament- The Fantastics! The Fantastics celebrate. The Guerreros enter the ring. Both teams stare at each other. The Guerreros nod their heads and offer their hands. The Fantastics smile and the teams shake hands. The SuperClash world tag team title match is set.

Survivor Series! Let's do this! Warrior is getting the massive push and shines here. Andre has the respect and gets a feel good moment. I'm sure this was a big thank you from the WWF for all he's done. Great way to start the show. Demolition and the Rockers put on an impressive display. Loved that ending with all the champs holding their belts high. We'll see if this was just a moment or if seeds were planted for something big. Ok, Muta is definitely the MVP of the show! His performance was epic! It is a big pay per view in the 80s, so yes, Hogan must pose. This was a great way to keep the Hogan/Savage heat going. Do another tease at the Rumble and we could see these guys headlining WrestleMania. I do have to mention Herc powerslamming Studd, that was impressive. The action figures brought a lot of life to this show. It looked like a lot of fun putting all this together. Outstanding job!

Anvil says goodbye on a high note. I agree, 1989 will be Azul's year. Eddie and Barr rekindle their feud with fire. But the question is, who is this green villain? Sunshine had a great run in Pacific, sad to see her go. Hahahahaha Backlund was the perfect guy for Spicoli to finally get his long awaited win. That pop must've been unreal. The Hart Foundation walk away together one last time. Bret is going to need some new allies in 89. Vancouver, Stormfront end 88 with a big win over the Malenkos. I see more matches between Hall and Hennig. Another team looking to make a serious run in 89 is the Can Am Express. After a bit of a slump, Rose has really turned things around. Rhodes gets battered but manages to retain. After Battleground, it made total sense for Lee to get a title shot. He came up short but he'll rebound. Kelowna, Regal is another guy I'll be watching next year. Who is this mysterious green man? He seems to be having a good time. Chono's stock is rising. Destruction Crew found out the FOJ can fight fire with fire. Looks like Silver King has earned himself a LHW title shot. Pillman and Finlay end the year on the highest note. Pillman's reign has been incredible. 1989 should be another epic year for PCW.

The Granddaddy of them all, Starrcade! Let's do this. Perez is the German Suplex King! Props to you on that clever finish. Sheepherders get Jones some gold. I loved that finishing sequence. Thanks to that low down Fuller, the Stud Stable win the 6 man titles. This was great heat. Another cool visual finish as Super D takes the Heritage title from the Pitbull. Damn! Wahoo finally ends his war with Lightfoot. This was one of my favorite feuds and the blow off was well done and satisfying. What a match! The Superfly returns! The Horsemen did everything they could but the Road Warriors were just too strong. We have new World tag champs! Debeers and JYD were involved in another epic NWA feud. JYD ends things in a fitting way. You have made JYD a superstar again. After a night of brutal and bloody action, Tully and Garvin end the night with another classic NWA world title match. These guys really delivered and Garvin knocking Tully out with the punch was so satisfying. The pop must've been earth shattering. Awesome ending to an incredible show. Two thumbs up brother!

Plenty of big matches tonight, so let's get to the ring. Tatsumi 'The Dragon' Fujinami vs. Joseph Roberts Fujinami is back from a tour of Japan and looks better than ever as he puts on a wrestling clinic before finishing things off with the dragon suplex. Nelson says Tatsumi has a big task ahead as he faces Big Van Vader at SuperClash. Nelson then takes us to a Big Van Vader highlight reel from Japan. Big Van Vader takes on Tatsumi Fujinami at SuperClash 3. Commercial Break 'Thrilling' Tom Brandi vs. Jack Victory w/John Tatum Coast to Coast is coming off a sensational showing against the Guerreros and Victory wants to get them back on the winning track tonight. On the flip side, Brandi has been a real blue chipper and has yet to be pinned in the AWA. Brandi lives up to his thrilling moniker as he spends the opening minutes taking Victory down with dropkicks, arm drags and hip tosses. The tide turns when Tatum (from the outside) trips Brandi, Brandi stumbles forward as Victory hits a snap suplex. Tatum cheers as Victory works Brandi over with slams, elbow drops, knee drops and a variety of rule breaking. Victory goes for a back drop but Brandi kicks him. The fans are up and cheering as Brandi makes a furious comeback. Once again, Tatum kills the momentum with a distraction. Victory works over Brandi with punches and stomps. Brandi starts to fight back. Tatum hops on the apron. Victory rakes Brandi's eyes and swings him towards Tatum. Brandi reverses things and swings Victory into Tatum. Tatum flies off the apron as Brandi rolls Victory up 1..2..3! BIG POP! Commercial Break Nelson: Wow, tremendous win for Tom Brandi. The fans have really gotten behind this exciting young man. Ok, joining me now are the new AWA National Tag Team champions, the Gunslingers. The fans cheer as The Gunslingers come out in jeans, cowboy boots, western style shirts and white cowboy hats. The National titles are on their shoulders. Nelson: Congratulations on winning the National Titles. You guys have been here in the AWA for awhile and really deserve those titles. As you know on Saturday December 22nd there will be the traditional tag team battle royal and the winners will now face you two for the National titles at SuperClash. Casey: Larry, we're on top of the world right now and feeling great. Johnny and I promise to be fighting champions and are..... Boos as Baby Doll leads Badd Company out. Baby Doll: You boys should know this term. Hold your horses. At Title Night you pulled off the biggest fluke in history. You come out here and say you'll be fighting champions, well prove it. We want a rematch and we want it right here next week. I'm not asking. Mantell: Like my partner said, we're fighting champions. So bring it on! Badd Company step towards them. The Gunslingers are ready to fight. Baby Doll calmly escorts her team to the back. Nelson: Well, ok, looks like we have a National tag team title match set for next week. My goodness. Commercial Break 'The Fabulous One' Steve Keirn vs. Harold Bannister Keirn looks impressive tonight and finishes things off with a reverse DDT. As Keirn celebrates with the fans, Dream Machine and Gary Young hit the ring and attack Keirn. Just as they start to put the boots to Keirn, Mr. Olympia hits the ring with fists flying. Olympia gets in some shots but the numbers catch up. Just as Dream and Young get the upper hand, Keirn recovers and it's a pier six brawl! Commercial Break AWA Mid-American Champ Larry Zbyszko vs. Ray Glader Zbyszko dismantles his opponent before putting him down with a swinging neckbreaker. Nelson: Larry Zbyszko, I have to say your actions at Title Night were despicable. Zbyszko: Who asked you spudhead. Look, Paul Orndorff was simply out of his league and he got hurt. Nelson: (rolls his eyes) Well, stay here because I understand the AWA C.O.O. Gerry Morrow has an announcement for you. Brenda Britton heads out with Gerry Morrow. Britton snatches the mic from Nelson. Britton: Hit the road Nelson. Ok Gerry, the floor is yours. Morrow: AHHHHH thank you Brenda. (looks at Zbyszko) and thank you Mr. Zbyszko for your time. As you and everybody knows, SuperClash 3 will take place on Saturday December 30th in Denver. Now Mr. Zbyszko, you have been quite clever in retaining your Mid American title. And as a clever man you should have no problem with dis announcement. At SuperClash, you will defend your title against Paul Orndorff and if you get disqualified or counted out, you will indeed lose your title. Zbyszko throws a fit. Zbyszko: Gerry, I thought we were friends. Why are you doing this to me? Morrow: Ahhhhh we are indeed friends. I am doing dis because like I said you are a very clever man and I'm sure you will find a way to win. I need to be fair and Mr. Orndorff does deserve another chance. I will tell you what, if you do win, you are invited to my private post SuperClash party and I will have a special toast just for you. Zbyszko (calming down) You're right Gerry. I'm the greatest AWA champion of all time and that's why I'm a living legend. I will prove that to you and I will enjoy the champagne celebration. Morrow: Ahhhhh dat is what I like to hear. Commercial Break Sgt. Slaughter vs. Arnie Goldstein Slaughter is pissed tonight and easily disposes of his opponent with the cobra clutch. Nelson: Sgt. Slaughter at Title Night.. Slaughter: Shut up Puke! I would like to ask the AWA C.O.O. Gerry Morrow to come back out here so I can have a word with him. Once again, Britton comes out with Morrow. Britton: You know the deal Nelson. Nelson shakes his head and hands over the mic. Britton: Busy night for you Gerry. Morrow: Hahahaha it is indeed. Ok Mr. Slaughter, go right ahead. Slaughter. I'll get right to the point. Everybody saw what I did to that maggot Nikita Koloff at Title Night. I think it's only fair that I get a rematch at the biggest event SuperClash! Morrow: I do like your fighting spirit Mr. Slaughter, I really do. However, de main event for SuperClash is already set. As a matter of fact, there will be a special press conference next week between de AWA World Champion Nikita Koloff and de number one contender Jumbo Tsuruta. However, I will do dis for you Mr. Slaughter. Tis the season for SuperClash, so I'm going to allow you to pick your opponent for SuperClash. It's a high profile event and if you win, that could propel you to another world title shot. What do you say? Slaughter: (contemplates this) I accept. Slaughter shakes Morrow's hand. Commercial Break 'Mad Dog' Buzz Sawyer and Kokina vs. Todd Rooney and George Wilbert Members of the Asylum simply destroy their opponents. Sawyer hits a powerslam on Wilbert as Kokina follows with a Samoan Drop for the easy win. Nelson is nervous as Sawyer swings his chain around and Kokina screams into the camera. Nelson: (still nervous) Buzz Sawyer, after what we saw at Title Night, it appears your issues with Carlos Colon haven't been resolved. Sawyer: (maniacal laugh) I told you Colon that this isn't over until I say it's over. At WrestleRock we had a great time fighting in a Carribean Death Match. At WarGames we had a blast beating each other senseless. Well now it's my turn to have a party. Colon! This all ends at SuperClash, because you and I are going to have the best time yet, in a chain match! I know you're at home licking your wounds and I know you're scared to death to face me again. But I want this match and you're going to give it to me or I'll come to Puerto Rico and drag you here myself, with this chain! Nelson runs away as Sawyer swings his chain while Kokina grabs a Crusher Blackwell poster from a fan and rips it up. Commercial Break Nelson: Well, in my hand is an envelope sent to us by Greg Gagne. This is the bounty money owed to the Mongolian Stomper. I want to get this over with, so if the Mongolian Stomper could come and collect this. Please do so. Boos as the Mongolian Stomper storms down the aisle. WHAM! He's nailed from behind by EL CANEK! Canek is wearing a brace around his mid section but that doesn't slow him down as he pounds down on Stomper. Security and officials rush out to stop this. Nelson: Oh my! It appears El Canek is still around and this money will go back to Greg Gagne. (Smiling) I really hope you're watching Greg. Commercial Break Nelson: Fans, before we get to our main event. Don't forget, tomorrow night at the Met Center, 8 tag teams will compete in a tournament for a shot at the AWA World tag team titles at SuperClash. It's been announced that Kerry Von Erich will face Terry Gordy inside a steel cage at SuperClash. Next week we'll hear from both men. Iceman Parsons goes one on one with Black Bart. AWA National tag team title bout as the Gunsligers defend against former champs Badd Company. I've just been told that El Canek will face Mongolian Stomper in a bounty match. And also, next week you will see the contract signing between Nikita Koloff and Jumbo Tsuruta. Our main event when we return. But first we have a recorded message from the TV champ Brian Adias.

Assassin takes care of things between Michales and Knighton. Blaze is added to the mix and now we have a hot tag match coming. LOL, RPG bolts out of there before Fargo has a chance to say Hi. I can't wait until these two meet face to face. I know the fans loved seeing Tojo submit Bruno. I have a feeling Bass won't go easy on Falk's students. JT ends the show with an exciting win over Cuban Assassin. I'm sure we'll get another tag match soon. Fun show

Piper's Pit is coming to WCW with Terry Funk as his first guest. WOW! I don't even know what to expect. I like the importance put on the US tag titles. Reed finds a partner but Simmons is playing it with caution. Muraco is becoming a bit unhinged. I feel sorry for the person he snaps on. Loved the Morton/Gilbert angle. These guys can go and will give the fans some exciting matches. Dusty gives another golden promo. Him and Funk can beat each other up with fists and words. Can't wait for Season's Beatings!

I always love a final recap show before a huge event. You've done an amazing job building this event. Each match seems special. Can't wait for Starrcade!

AWA SuperClash Report The pieces are coming together after what went down at Title Night. It's now official that the SuperClash main event will be Nikita Koloff defending the AWA world Title against Jumbo Tsuruta. There will be a press conference in 2 weeks for the signing. Another important event will be the 8 Tag Team Tournament next weekend at the Met Center. The winners of the tournament will face the Guerreros at SuperClash for the AWA World Tag Team titles. AWA C.O.O. Gerry Morrow has decided that Kerry Von Erich will face Terry Gordy inside a steel cage at SuperClash. After several altercations in parking lots and dressing rooms, Morrow figures locking them inside a cage is the only way for them to settle this. Another match officially signed will be Crusher Blackwell taking on Kokina. Rumors are circulating that the AWA is looking for another celebrity ring announcer for the TV Title Bout. TV Champ Brian Adias says he can certainly help with this. With music sensation Donna Sommer and former Boxing heavyweight contender Ron Lyle already attached, Superclash 3 will definitely be getting a lot of attention from the media. The AWA recently announced that Big Van Vader had been signed for a match at SuperClash. It's now official that his opponent will be Tatsumi Fujinami. Stay tuned for more information.

AWA puts Badd Company (Paul Diamond and Pat Tanaka) on the block.

Survivor Series is hyped up and ready to go! Can't wait!

After that display, Miyato's luck is changing for the better. Funaki fights a smart match and it pays off. Smiley and Fleming give the fans a grappling clinic. Man, I thought Fleming had this, but that Smiley is very crafty. Fujiwara edges out Yamazaki. These guys are very evenly matched. Maybe a rematch in the future. I liked the tag team concept. Pretty fresh and interesting. That Gordeau knows how to fight dirty, but it came back to bite him. The Koslowski brothers are for real. WOW! Big win for Nakamura as he defeats the teacher. The dragon suplex by Takada sets up Vrij's defeat. Impressive move. Nielsen came to fight and gave Maeda a few scares. Maeda pulls it out and definitely sends the fans home happy. Gutsy performance by Nielsen. I would say the UWF will be booking the NK Hall again.

Battleground, let's do this! Azul has been a highlight in the LHW division, smart move showcasing him to kick things off. Albright's rampage continues as he takes down one tough customer. Finlay blows his feud off with Burke, but man did he have to fight for it. Like Azul, King has added more fuel to the LHW's divisions fire. Nice move by Steamboat to counter Hennig. I believe we have the next serious contender. Severn gets another impressive defense but Regal proves he's more than a credible contender. Owen went out like a pro. DDP has a gem in Adams. Only the Midnights could out heel the heels. I always like Furnas and Lefon and it looks like they're in line for a title shot. Wow, Christopher pulls out the dirtiest tactics to win the LHW title. Talk about heat. Rose looks like his old self and takes Pillman to the limit but the always resilient Pillman finds a way to retain. Night 2! Candido shines bright tonight. Lee out brawls Cactus. I actually think both men will have a big year in 1989. Beating Anvil definitely elevates Chono. The Warriors have a successful reunion but the SCS will be back for more. Spicoli goes down in another game effort but his day is coming. Looks like Eddie has had enough of Barr's antics. It was great seeing the FOJ rack up another high profile win. Bret finally gets his revenge but I don't think Bam Bam is done with this fight. I believe young Dustin has solidified his right to be champion. Damn, Tenyru is a beast! Props to the Southern Boys for a fantastic run. I have to admit, I'm looking forward to a Destruction Crew reign. WHOA! Hall gets a tremendous career boost win over the Undertaker. Great feud, The ending to this show will be talked about for years to come. I was not expecting Haynes to snap like that. I mean he went off the deep end. I'm sure Windham was glad he got out of there. Can't say the same for the poor Ref. I can't wait to see the follow up. This show had it all and there was something for every kind of wrestling fan. Outstanding job!

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 11-17-88 Larry Nelson: Hello everybody and welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling.

Then, he somehow convinces Gerry Morrow to hold the title up. I went with it. And then that no good, dirty coward Black Bart hits me upside my head with a cowbell and costs me the TV title! Black Bart! I'm coming for you and I'm coming for some big time payback boy! Get ready because the Iceman is coming for ya! Commercial Break 'The British Bomber' Dave Taylor vs. 'Diamond' Timothy Flowers These two give the fans a good back and forth slugfest. Taylor is stiff but clean as he puts his scientific skills to work. Flowers has no problem breaking the rules and mixes that in with some hard hitting shots. They continue to go back and forth and end up fighting on the outside. The Ref hits 10 and counts both men out. Officials come out to break them up. After a minute, Taylor starts to leave. WHAM! Flowers nails him from behind with a chair. Flowers throws the chair down and looks into the camera "I told you my next shot would connect!" Commercial Break Venomous vs. Warren Coolidge and Maurice Thorpe Cobra hits a snap suplex and Kat follows with a senton for the win. Venomous look tuned up and ready for the Singhs and the Tag Team Tournament. Commercial Break Crusher Blackwell vs. Teddy Reed Blackwell hits a big splash and it's all over. Nelson: Crusher Blackwell, it seems you and Kokina have had some issues of late. Blackwell: I guess we have. Kokina seems to think he's the biggest and baddest monster around here. Kokina! To prove that, you have to go through me. Go ahead and bring it on big boy! Commercial Break We come back and see Greg Gagne sitting on a lounge chair and sipping a drink. Gagne: Today is a day of celebration. I decided to take the day off from my physical therapy because well, I've earned it. My heart is filled with joy because that masked moron El Canek is no more. Mongolian Stomper, I am forever grateful to you. Next week I will have a check sent to you in the amount of 250,000 dollars. I want that idiot Nelson to present it to you on TV, so the world can watch. Job well done Mr. Stomper. Gagne raises his glass.

Meanwhile, Dream and Young are trying to clear the cobwebs on the outside. Commercial Break The Bruisers vs. Milt May and Todd Rooney Strong hits a backbreaker on Rooney, then tags in Busick. Strong swings Rooney to the ropes as Busick hits the spinebuster slam for the win! Bruisers cut a promo and said they couldn't be happier that they're facing Mean Machine in the 1st round of the tournament. The Bruisers say they're going to destroy the Mean Machine and then win the tournament and eventually the world tag titles. Commercial Break We come back and see Brian Adias standing in front of the Hollywood Sign landmark. He's wearing sunglasses, shorts and a tank top with the TV title on his shoulder. Adias: Life is great! Now that the AWA TV title is back where it belongs. Brian Adias has been in high demand, right here in Hollywood. I'm so huge that I will now be referred to as Blockbuster Brian Adias. I've got movie deals in the works with some of the biggest names in Hollywood. Now, I don't want my fans to worry, because I'll be back on AWA TV defending this here title, MY title, very soon. Until then, I'll see you when I see you. Commercial Break The Olympians vs. Bobby Baines and Ray Glader Rheingans hits a gut wrench suplex and Patera follows with the Full Nelson to get the win. Nelson: Fans, next weekend, 8 teams will compete for a shot at the World Tag Titles at SuperClash 3. However, I understand that the Olympians will be flying to Japan tomorrow and will miss the tournament. Patera: That's right and it's a shame because we would've looked forward to some friendly and competitive competition in the tournament. But hey, the AWA knew there was only one team that could represent them well and that's us. Rheingans: That's right. The Olympians are all about playing by the rules and winning the old fashion way, with our skills and talent. Cream always rises to the top and we'll get our title shot when we return. Commercial Break Black Bart vs. Dean Kyle Bart wins the match with his Texas Trash compactor! Bart cuts a promo on Iceman and says if Parsons wants a fight, he'll take him on any dug gum time! Bart even says he'll take him on right now, but Nelson tells him Iceman has already left the building. Bart then calls Parsons a yellow bellied gutless chicken! Commercial Break Kerry Von Erich vs. Terry 'Bam Bam' Gordy Nelson: Fans, we're still waiting...wait a second. Ok, our cameras are going to the back. It appears there's some kind of altercation going on. The cameras go to the back. Inside the dressing room, Kerry and Gordy are trading punches.

After a few seconds, Gordy jumps back in the scene and the fight is back on. More hard shots are traded as the wrestlers continue to try and break them up. Title Night Tomorrow Night!

A lot going on in WCW as they head into a loaded December. The Horsemen story has been very interesting. I'm very curious on how they're going to start 1989. Flair is in trouble with both Sting and Luger coming after him. Boogie Woogie Man might get his wish but I have a feeling Rogers will prevent that by any means necessary. Cool seeing the Lightning Express getting a push. I still can't believe Piper hasn't been attacked yet LOL. I'm hoping we get a Piper/Muraco feud. Jim Herd! Please sign Dibiase and Williams vs. The Samoan Savages! Hmmmm, could seeds be planting for a Hansen/Murdoch feud. Get ready because Reed and the Nation are going to go at it again. WOW! Dusty wins this round but Funk sounded like he's ready for more. Funk really is middle aged and crazy LOL.

The Stud Stable and Lawmen feud escalates and now we get the big 6 man title match for Starrcade. The Assassin has rejuvenated the Beasts. I'm hoping we get a Brown/Super D title match for Starrcade. One of the best feuds in the game has been Wahoo and Lightfoot. After all the violence, we're going to get an epic blow off at Starrcade. Garvin ties up all loose ends from the Series and then puts Tully down with the hands of stone punch! Hawk sends a strong message to the champs. You're build to Starrcade has been a wild ride. It reminds me of the awesome 80s Starrcade's IRL. Great job!

Very intriguing storyline with the Wildside and Reno. I do feel a little bad for Reno. The Nightmares will thrive here. It looks like Ronnie is planting some seeds for a Nightmares/Renestos feud. I can get behind that. Wildside and Cubans keep the heat on their feud. This time it's Michaels who plays a factor in Knighton's win over the Assassin. This was some good TV. I can't imagine what the big surprise will be. One thing's for sure, I'll be tuning in.

This should be a good one.

Sorry for the late response. AWA will drop out of the draft.

Great job hyping up Survivor Series! All the matches announced show how stacked this roster really is. The action figures are a true spectacle. I'm looking forward to watching who gets pushed at Survivor Series. What new feuds will develop and which ones will get blown off. Big things are going to happen.

Lynn wants to prove he can hang in Pacific. Adams gets the win but Spicoli gets his respect. Silver King is rapidly rising the LHW rankings. Well, it was inevitable but Corny and the Midnights finally leave Vic hanging. However, looks like we're going to get a Rainbow Warriors reunion. Hart passes a tough test but Bigelow awaits. Cow Palace, Payne gets a sweet and satisfying win. Owen puts his technical skills to work. NOE have some momentum going against the Brigade. Yea, Silver King's a serious contender now. I hope Haynes stays focused on Windham and keeps away from Albright for now. Because Windham is looking 100% focused. Fresno, That crazy Barr opens things up with a win. Regal scores an impressive win over a former champ. Adams scores the victory over an always game Eddie. Oh man, sad news as Anvil announces he's leaving. I'll say this, he had the best hometown record I've ever seen. DDP has the Destruction Crew in top forum. Once again, Pillman closes the show with another successful title win, this time over a former TV champ. Pillman has become a huge star here. Bring on San Diego Battleground!!!
