AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 6-19-91 The show starts with Brenda Britton standing in the middle of the ring Britton: Hi everybody and welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling. Get ready for the thrill of a lifetime. The Champagne man himself, Gerry Morrow will be gracing everybody with a match right here, right now! So, let me introduce to you the man that will end Hulkamania forever...Champagne Gerry Morrow! Sade's Smooth Operator plays as Morrow walks into the ring wearing a sparkling green vest, shiny green boots and trunks and of course his trademark fedora and sunglasses. He hands a bottle of champagne to Brenda then takes off his suit, fedora and sunglasses. Morrow kisses Brenda's hand and is ready for action. 'Champagne' Gerry Morrow w/Brenda Britton vs. Tony Goya Morrow dismantles his opponent and begins to toy with him. Morrow hits a suplex and follows with a diving headbutt 1..2..NO, Morrow lifts his opponent up. BOOOOOOOS! Morrow chokes his opponent on the top rope and flings him back. Morrow hits a body slam then goes to the top rope. Morrow smiles before crashing down with a diving headbutt. Morrow stands up and puts his foot on Goya's chest 1..2..3. Brenda enters the ring with a Hulkamania shirt and the champagne bottle. Brenda lays the shirt across Goya's face then hands Morrow the bottle. Morrow opens the bottle and gives the fans a toast gesture. Morrow's about to pour champagne over his fallen opponent. The fans come absolutely unglued as HULK HOGAN hits the ring in jeans and a tank top! The fans are going crazy as Hogan unloads on Morrow! Brenda gets out of there. Hogan punches Morrow to the ropes. Hogan swings off the opposite ropes and clotheslines Morrow over the top rope! The fans are on their feet. Hogan rips off his shirt and throws it down at Morrow. Brenda runs over to help Morrow. Hogan does his traditional poses as the fans soak it all in. Hogan grabs the mic Hogan: Gerry Morrow! Whatcha gonna do at WrestleRock when the power of Hulkamania runs wild on youuuuuuuuuuu!!!! Commercial Break Larry Nelson: oh my! What a way to start the show! Hulkamania just ran wild on Gerry Morrow! (takes a deep breath) Ok, a lot going on tonight. I can tell that AWA world champ Kokina is in the building as is Carlos Colon. We'll be hearing from both men tonight. Let's get back to the ring. 'Tidal Wave' Tommy Jammer vs. Neil Jordan Jammer's fired up tonight as he puts his opponent down with a dropkick from the middle turnbuckles. Jammer swings off the ropes and hits the California Splash for the win. Nelson: Ok, Tommy, at WrestleRock you've signed to face a mystery opponent who will be making his AWA debut. Does this worry you at all? Jammer: Hey, it's like surfing the waves in Cali. Sometimes you never know where they're going to take you but you just gotta go with the flow. At WrestleRock, I'll be ready to ride that unknown wave and come out on top! Commercial Break Footage from last week is shown as JW Storm returns to save Gary Young from a double team beating by Austin Idol and Bill Dundee. Nelson: With me now are Gary Young and JW Storm. Young: JW, thank you brother. I had been feeling pretty alone but as a true friend you were there for me. It's sure great to see you. Storm: Gary, you've been a great friend to me and Austin did us both wrong. I say... Boos as Austin Idol and Bill Dundee come out. Idol: Awwwww isn't this sweet. A reunion of the losers. You guys were made for each other Dundee: You two are just pathetic. Austin, you definitely made the right move by cutting ties with these two sad sacks. Young: You know Austin, I'm glad you came out especially with your little friend here. JW and I were talking and why don't we settle this at WrestleRock. You two versus us two. Easy as that. Storm: Yea Austin, I would love to take a shot at you and your little buddy Dundee gets pissed and moves closer. Idol smirks and whispers something to Dundee. Idol: It's clear you boys need to be taught a lesson in the ring. So yea, I'll lace up the boots one more time just so the Superstar and I can teach you that lesson you'll never forget. See you darlings at WrestleRock. Dundee: But nobody will be seeing you afterwards, you can bet on that Idol and Dundee leave. Young and JW high five. Young: Idol! Dundee! The Mavericks are back! Storm: And with a vengeance! Commercial Break Mil Mascaras and El Canek vs. Vic Dutro and Willie Lopez Canek and Mascaras look tremendous and their chemistry is off the charts. Canek holds Lopez in a vertical suplex position as Mascaras hits a flying press from the top rope for the win. Nelson: Impressive victory indeed. Canek and Mascaras will get their well deserved world tag team title shot at WrestleRock. Before the commercial break we see clips of the AWA dual champs the Heavenly Bodies on various local talk shows. They make sure to always show off both sets of titles and talk about how great they are and how great they look. When asked about their WrestleRock opponents they only refer to them as faceless chickens who hide behind their masks before dismissing them as any kind of threat or challenge. Commercial Break The Hangman w/Nell vs. Trent Watkins Hangman obliterates his opponent before finishing things off with the Hangman's neckbreaker! Nell gets in the ring and says something at Hangman. Hangman lifts his opponent and sets up for the heart punch. Hold on! The fans roar as the Big Bossman hits the ring! Nell turns around as Bossman puts him down with a big boot! Bossman twirls his nightstick and nails Hangman. He swings Hangman to the ropes and hits Hangman in the mid section with the nightstick. Bossman twirls the nightstick and smacks Hangman over the head with it! Hangman and Nell are down and out as Bossman holds his nightstick high. Bossman looks into the camera and yells "Justice is back!" Commercial Break Rampage vs. Samson Smith and Carl Kellerman Morgan and Equalizer take turns mauling their poor opponents before swinging Smith to the ropes and finishing things off with double boots to the head! Rampage huff and stomp around the ring. We'll see if they can do this to Los Boricuas at WrestleRock. Commercial Break Nelson: About to join me is Greg Gagne along with his Ace, Frank Andersson. Gagne runs up wearing a sweatsuit and carrying a towel. Gagne: Whoa wait one second Nelson. Only I'm allowed to introduce the Ace. I want all of you to show proper respect for the greatest wrestler walking the face of the earth, the Ace Frank Andersson! The Swedish National Anthem plays as Frank smugly walks out wearing a Swede Olympic sweatsuit with all his gold medals around his neck. He gives the fans a disdainful look, totally shuns Nelson and then shakes hands with Gagne. Nelson: (rolling his eyes) Well, you asked for it and got it. The AWA has chosen Bobby Blaze to be your Ace's opponent at WrestleRock. Gagne pauses for a long time with a disappointed look on his face. Frank holds out his arms while giving Gagne a puzzled look. Gagne: (laughing and shaking his head) I gave the AWA two weeks to find a suitable opponent and all they could come up with is Bobby Blaze? (laughs again) Bobby Blaze? Really? Bobby Blaze? (shakes his head) So be it. I guess we'll just look at this as an exhibition to showcase the Ace's talents. I feel for you Bobby Boy. You're about to be embarrassed at the biggest AWA event in history. However, you can hold your head high knowing you lost to the greatest wrestling technician in the history of wrestling. We're done. Gagne leaves. Andersson bumps Nelson's shoulder as he exits. Commercial Break We see Maxx Payne playing his guitar in a dark room. He stops Payne: At WrestleRock, Norma Jean and I are going to deliver some very bad news. Maxx gives an evil smirk and starts playing taps. Nelson: Fans, with me now is the AWA commissioner Magnum TA Magnum: Thank you Larry. I've said this countless times but WrestleRock is where grudges will be settled. After what's been going down with Don Muraco and Tommy Rich, I've signed them to go at it in a street fight. Cheers as The Magnificent Muraco comes out Muraco: Thank you so much brothu! You hear that Tommy Rich! That means I can do anything I want to you! Oh and Tully Blanchard, that means the same for you too! At WrestleRock, I'm taking out two dirty birds with one stone! Commercial Break AWA TV Champ Gama Singh and The Rock n Roll RPMs vs. Iceman Parsons and TCB w/Jackie This one's a wild one. There's a lot of animosity in the ring and tempers flare several times during the seesaw match. RPMs and TCB have furious exchanges while Parsons does his best to avoid Gama. After minutes of hard hitting action a pier six brawl escalates. The RPMs and TCB are fighting all over the place. Gama unloads on Parsons and puts him down with a top rope missile dropkick but the Ref is occupied with the RPMs and TCB. Jackie gets in the ring and nails Gama's head with Parson's scepter! Parsons rolls over and covers as Jackie yells at the Ref. The Ref runs over and counts 1..2..3! BOOOOOOOO! Commercial Break Nelson: Fans, stay tuned for our WrestleRock report after the show. I understand both official cards will be announced. Ok, joining me now is the man who will wrestle for the AWA world title at WrestleRock, Carlos Colon. The fans pop as Colon walks out wearing a suit. Nelson: Carlos, I know you spent a lot of time training in Puerto Rico and I have to say you look to be in the best shape of your life. BOOOOOOs as Adnan Al Kassie comes out Adnan: Carlos Colon! You have no idea of what you're dealing with! You really think training in your homeland is the same as preparing for Kokina? You've awaken a beast and he wants your blood! WHAM! From behind, Kokina headbutts Colon! Kokina grabs Colon by his head and headbutts him again! Kokina keeps his vice grip on Colon and headbutts him again! Colon is busted open. Kokina swings Colon into the steel post! Security and officials swarm the scene. The last image we see is a bloody and fallen Carlos Colon.

It's all about the Clash tonight Hall has definitely earned his shot but it might be bad timing because Sting's red hot right now I can't wait to see who Steamboat brings in Zbyszko and Pillman will deliver The International York Foundation was a brilliant idea. Looking forward to Tenryu's International title bout Dustin's a good match up with Hennig. I'm hoping this is more than a one off Anvil will be a big test for Taker but those were some ominous words from Paul Bearer We've been waiting for it and soon the 3 powerhouse teams will collide for all the marbles Lex and Sid have the ultimate stare down

This is bigger than who shot JR! I'll be tuning in to hear Tunney's bombshell announcement

AWA Friday July 17th-Hiram Bithorn Stadium, San Juan Puerto Rico Saturday July 18th-The Metrodome, Minneapolis MN Live on pay per view AWA Commissioner Magnum TA is sitting in his office with a WrestleRock poster in the background Magnum: Welcome to the WrestleRock report. Now, what would WrestleRock be without some special guests. As you already know, the legendary Jose Feliciano will be performing a special concert after Night 1's show in Puerto Rico. Boxing sensation Hector 'Macho' Comacho will make a special appearance during the show. And the lovely Maria Conchita Alonso will kick things off by singing the Puerto Rican National Anthem, La Borinquena. On Night 2, in the Metrodome, the sensational Gladys Knight will get things going with America the Beautiful. Mr. T will be our very special color commentator for the main event. And none other than arena rock favorites, Foreigner will perform after the matches. All these incredible talents will help this year's WrestleRock go down in history. Magnum lets that sink in. Magnum: Ok, first up on the agenda is the tag team division and all the grudges going on. Already signed are Latin Desire vs. The Tribal Nation as well as Rampage vs. Los Boricuas. TCB and the RPMs have been fighting to inconclusive results, so at WrestleRock they will settle things in a tornado match! The British Bombers and Guerreros have been trading wins all over the loop, so I've decided to let them go all out in a 30 minute iron man match. The team with the most falls in 30 minutes will be declared the winners. Hopefully these matches will settle things once and for all. Magnum takes a drink of water. Magnum: WrestleRock has some tremendous matches and right now we're going to hear from some of our larger than life competitors. Ultimate Warrior: The destination is now known! WrestleRock will be the place where two elite Warriors meet in battle. Kerry Von Erich! You've accepted the challenge because you are indeed a true warrior. I respect that! However, my quest to become the one true Ultimate Warrior can only end in ultimate victory. Then and only then will I become the one and only Ultimate Warrior! Kerry Von Erich! We will battle until one man remains and I must come out victorious! There is no other way. At WrestleRock, I will stand tall as the Ultimate Warriorrrrrrrrrr! Von Erich: Everybody knows when I accept a challenge, I can back it up. Ultimate Warrior, I respect your quest to become the one and true warrior in the AWA and I respect that you challenged me man to man. But...you're getting way ahead of yourself when you say you will emerge victorious and become the Ultimate Warrior. You're going to battle against the Modern Day Warrior! We will fight, we will bleed and it will be a battle of epic proportions. When the smoke clears and the dust rises, Kerry Von Erich will be the one standing tall in victory. The Modern Day Warrior! Gerry Morrow and Brenda Britton are sitting at a private table in an exclusive restaurant. There are a couple bottles of champagne in front of them. Britton: Hi everybody! As you can see, we're having an early celebration and it's well deserved. Tell them Gerry. Morrow: Hahahahahaha! Dat is correct Brenda. We are celebrating de demise of Hulkamania. Mr. Hogan, you are a very delusional man. What does it take to knock common sense into your head. De rumors are running rampant dat WrestleRock will be your last match in de AWA. But you and I know de truth. You are running scared of de champagne man. Which is why I offered you a chance to save humiliation and leave de AWA without any shame. You chose to be difficult and brought in desperate muscle to help. A true act of cowardice. Dat will not save you. Mr. Hogan, trust me when I say, you are not going to make it to WrestleRock. We will not fight in a cage and you will let all your little Hulkamaniacs down. That will all be on your head. You had your chance and made a foolish choice. Now, as a man of class, I am giving you fair warning. Your demise is coming and it will happen before WrestleRock. Morrow and Britton raise their glasses and toast to the end of Hulk Hogan and Hulkamania. Hulk Hogan is standing inside a steel cage and shaking the fence. Hogan: All my supporting Hulkamaniacs have made me feel born again brother! I've been beaten and worn, shattered and torn by Gerry Morrow and his goons. In every situation, Morrow seems to have something in that dirty bag of tricks. But the Hulkamaniacs said wake up Hulkster and summons all your energy! They said for years it's been about the training, prayers, vitamins and believing in yourself. They said we believe in you Hulk and don't let us down inside the cage. How can we go on if Morrow rules in the cage. So, that's why when I get into this cage with Morrow (shakes the cage) I'm going to ram his body and ram his head into this cage over and over again until Hulkamania rids the AWA of that no good Gerry Morrow forever! Hogan shakes the cage with all his rage. Full cards at both venues will be announced next week

The Destruction Crew had everything going for them tonight until Bullet Bob had enough. Michaels getting that superkick win must've gotten a pop for the ages. After all he went through, at least Jarrett is a champion. Who were those masked men in makeshift masks? Obviously they have an ax to grind with the Southern Boys I would definitely buy a ticket for a Gordy/Orndorff rematch If SMW is looking to expand, this is the way to do it

Taz made a great career move coming to PCW. Martel's really getting into his heel persona Eddie's determined to get some gold Griz flattens a game Guido I have to say, I can't help but root for Stevie Oh man, tensions are tense between Martel and Windham. Add in the Gunns and Dudley's and there will be an explosion soon. One way or another, Condrey and Sarge will have to settle this. I can see Sarge wanting a bootcamp match Portland I'm interested in seeing what's next for Iron and Steel after their impressive title reign Douglas is on the comeback trail Hart gets the win but his war with Adams is far from over I've got to give it up for Rose, he still has it Busick-Spinebuster Slam-Another title defense Damn, I would've gotten my money's worth watching Kawada and Williams wrestle for the title Eugene Thrillaz get the night going on an exciting note Blackman really needed that win Never get overconfident with PCO Satisfying win for Sandman Kid's proving he's the real deal This might be RVD's biggest title defense. Defeating the submission champ is a huge confidence booster I really enjoyed this week's match ups.

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 6-12-91 We see Carlos Colon training in a Puerto Rican gym. Trainers are pushing him to the limits. Next scene we see Colon running down the streets. He's followed by hundreds of fans running behind him. People on the sidewalks cheer him on as he runs by. When he stops, the fans hoist him on their shoulders. He pumps his fists, smiles and holds his hands high as the city continues to cheer him on. Larry Nelson: Hello everybody and welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling. As you just saw, Carlos Colon is getting overwhelming support from the people of Puerto Rico. Carlos gets his AWA world title shot at WrestleRock. On that note, we will see the AWA world champ, Kokina take on 3 men tonight. Gary Young takes on Bill Dundee. And listen to this main event, Ax and Smash of Demolition will clash with Jumbo Tsuruta and Mr. Saito! WOW! Ok, let's get to the ring. Scott 'Flash' Norton w/Ted Arcidi vs. Neil Jordan Norton simply overpowers his opponent and finishes things off with a powerslam. Footage is shown from 2 weeks ago when Arcidi interfered in the Norton/Tiger arm wrestling match. Norton proceeded to slam Tiger through the arm wrestling table! Nelson: Ted Arcidi, at WrestleRock, your man Scott Norton will face the Missouri Tiger. I... Arcidi: (yelling) I knew the Missouri Tiger was dumb but I didn't think he was stupid. My man Flash put his arm down in a flash and then put that meathead through a table. I guess Meathead hasn't learned. Norton: (yelling also) Meathead! At WrestleRock, I'm going to slam you through the mat and bury you for good! Arcidi and Norton continue with boisterous laughs as Nelson slowly backs away Commercial Break 'The Maverick' Gary Young vs. 'Superstar' Bill Dundee w/Austin Idol The bell rings. Austin is having words with Gary. Dundee clips Gary's knee from behind. Austin calmly exits the ring. Dundee works over Gary. He slams him by the ropes, grabs the top rope and drops several knees down on Gary's leg. Dundee hoists Young up and delivers a shin buster. Dundee struts around then clamps on the figure four. Austin's yelling at Gary to give up. Young fights it and is able to get to the ropes. Dundee's pissed. He chokes Young, picks him up and swings him into the corner. Dundee charges in with a high knee but Young moves. The fans cheer Young on. Young limps around and shakes his fists. Young goes to town on Dundee in the corner with punches, kicks and stomps. Young hip tosses Dundee across the ring. Dundee staggers up as Young puts him down with a clothesline. Young picks up Dundee and sets him up for a DDT WHAM! Austin nails Young from behind. The Ref signals for the DQ. Austin starts stomping on Young. Dundee staggers up and joins in. They double team Young. Hold on! JW STORM hits the ring! Dundee and Austin turn around as Storm takes them both down with a sphere! Austin and Dundee roll out of the ring and fall to the ground. JW helps Young up. The fans cheer as JW and Young embrace. Commercial Break Footage from last week's event at the Mecca is shown. Ron Garvin and Dick Slater fight to a wild double c.o. El Canek and Mil Mascaras win the tag team battle royal to get a title shot at WrestleRock. The celebration is short lived because the Heavenly Bodies hit them from behind with their title belts. Nelson: Ok fans, the AWA dual champions, the Heavenly Bodies were supposed to be here tonight but I understand they're going to be appearing on a local talk show. I've also been told they have more talk show bookings and just can't commit to showing up here (rolls his eyes) I think they better get focused on their WrestleRock challengers, Canek and Mascaras. Speaking of WrestleRock and what went down at the Mecca, let's take you to a special announcement from Commissioner Magnum TA Magnum's standing in front of a WrestleRock banner. Magnum: It was obvious that nothing was solved between Ron Garvin and Dick Slater at the Mecca. It's also very obvious that these guys want to fight it out and they will. At WrestleRock, Ron Garvin and Dick Slater will go at it in a taped fist match! Grudges will be settled at WrestleRock. Stay tuned later for a full WrestleRock Report. I'll have news on the tag team situations and we'll also here comments from the Ultimate Warrior, Kerry Von Erich, Gerry Morrow and Hulk Hogan. Commercial Break Latin Desire vs. Todd Rooney and Frank Stratton Latin Desire have heeled up since that attack by the Tribal Nation and look back on track tonight. Al superkicks Rooney into a bridging back suplex by Lou for the pin. Nelson: Ok guys, it seems the Tribal Nation have had somewhat of a rebirth and I know you two will be facing them at WrestleRock. Lou: Rebirth or not, at WrestleRock, the Tribal Nation are going to find out what Latin heat is all about! Al: The Perez family always gets payback! Commercial Break Tommy 'Wildfire' Rich w/Tully Blanchard vs. Harold Bannister Rich and Tully find something humorous because they have their backs turned to Bannister and are having quite a laugh. The fans are up and cheering as the Magnificent Muraco gets in the ring with a chair! Bannister gets out of there. Rich turns around as Muraco nails him with the chair! Tully tries to run but Muraco sends him through the ropes with a chair shot to the back! Muraco swings the chair around as the fans go nuts! Muraco's back! Commercial Break 'Maniac' Matt Borne vs. Dave Dawson Borne returns to the AWA. He comes to the ring with jean shorts and an axhandle. He roughs his opponent up and wins the match with the Northern Exposure. Nelson: Good to see Matt Borne back here in the AWA. With me now is Sam Houston. Sam, I understand you have an open contract for WrestleRock. Sam: It's right here in my hand. For weeks I've made it clear that I want to give somebody a whipping and WrestleRock but nobody has stepped up. I mean what does somebody need to do to get some competition around here. What a bunch of cowards.. Matt Borne walks over. Borne: You want a match? I'll give you a match. Borne snatches the contract out of Sam's hand and signs it. Borne tosses the contract at Sam and leaves. Nelson: Ok, there you go Sam Houston. You got your wish. Sam's a bit flustered. Sam: (getting his thoughts together) Yea, finally. I'm going to show that lumberjack wannabe how a cowboy gets the job done. Commercial Break 'The Love Machine' Art Barr w/The Vin Man vs. Bob Bernardi Barr looks incredible tonight and easily wins the match with a frog splash from the top rope. Vinnie's jumping up and down celebrating with Barr until they look up the aisle and notice the Cobra scouting. Those two will meet at WrestleRock. Commercial Break Nelson: Fans, at WrestleRock, Leo Burke and Konnan will wrestle for the AWA International title. Each had a special sit down interview and will be shown here next week. Stay tuned after the show for a WrestleRock report with commissioner Magnum TA. Ok, gear up because we're about to have a tag team clash. Ax and Smash w/Crush vs. Jumbo Tsuruta and Mr. Saito w/Shinya Hashimoto This one's a no contest right off the bat. Crush and Hashimoto get involved fast and we get a wild pier six brawl. Cameras roll for a while as the action spills all over the place. Guys are fighting in the ring, outside the ring, up and down the aisle and even into the crowd. This is just a sample of what's to come at WrestleRock when the 6-Man titles are on the line. Commercial Break AWA World Champ Kokina w/Adnan Al-Kassie vs. 3 talents Kokina's an absolute beast tonight. He destroys his opponents then slams them on top of each other. Kokina goes to the ropes and crushes them with his jumping seated corner senton! Adnan and Kokina go to ringside. The world title's on Kokina's shoulder. Nelson: At WrestleRock, Kokina will defend the AWA world title against Carlos Colon. You saw footage of Colon. He's more than ready. Adnan: Carlos Colon! While you're out amongst your people with that stupid smile on your face, Kokina is destroying people! You won't be smiling when Kokina is done with you! You will be beaten and your spirit will be crushed by Kokina! This will happen in front of all your people. Your doomsday is coming Carlos Colon! Kokina gives out a monstrous yell.

Loved that promo from Holiday on the beach. I was laughing all the way through it. Hammerstone's background shenanigans were hilarious. So well done Great moment for the Andersons. Another cool promo from the NWA woman's champ La Princessa. This piece already puts her gimmick over Shocking appearance from the NWA world champ Silas Mason as the Southern Six stand full strength. Great show. The promos were incredible

AWA Highlights from the Mecca card in Milwaukee 6-6-91 Dick Slater and Ron Garvin gave the fans a true slugfest. The fists never stopped flying as they engaged in some stiff and brutal exchanges. They ended up brawling outside to a double c.o. They kept swinging after the bell. Officials came out to break it up. They finally stopped fighting but were staring daggers at each other before walking their separate ways. The Guerreros, British Bombers, El Canek and Mil Mascaras, The RPMs, TCB, Rampage and Los Boricuas battled it out in a tag team battle royal for an AWA world tag team title shot at WrestleRock. The AWA dual champs, the Heavenly Bodies were seated at ringside with both sets of titles. It was clear that personal grudges were too much to overcome. El Canek and Mil Mascaras took full advantage of this. While Rampage and Los Boricuas were tangled up with each other, Canek and Mascaras dumped them all over the top rope. The RPMs and TCB all went over the top rope fighting each other. The Bombers and Guerreros continued their rivalry. As they were fighting on the ropes, Canek and Mascaras double dropkicked the Guerreros into the Bombers which sent both teams over. El Canek and Mil Mascaras win the battle royal! As Canek and Mascaras celebrate, the Heavenly Bodies hit the ring and nail them on the back of their heads with the titles! The Heavenly Bodies pick up the other set of titles. Prichard puts his foot on Mascaras as Del Ray puts his foot on Canek. They smile and hold up both sets of titles while the fans boo. The Heavenly Bodies laugh and wave off their future challengers before exiting.

I'm loving all the craziness surrounding the world title. I have absolutely no idea what's going to happen at SNME. Then you've got Arnold coming in. Things will get insane! I'm glad to see P&G get a title run. I always loved this team. I like how you're using JYD at this point in his career. He's a former huge star and still has a lot of value. Putting him in the tag title picture is a great fit for him and it also gives Warlord that babyface rub. Awesome job with the match announcement visuals. These add so much color to the storytelling.

Lee and the OWC go back to the triangle formula but not sure calling out Savage and Williams is the right thing to do. Liger and PCO bounce back quickly I'm really looking forward to Savage's PCW run. Martel's getting into his new heel persona Severn looks to tame the beast inside The Thrillseekers eke out another hard fought win over the hungry Headbangers. This shows how competitive the tag division in PCW is. Vancouver Morley's living up to his moniker Bigelow racks up yet another big win I can't get enough of Slaughter/Condrey. These guys can bring it If the Spinebuster Slam don't get you, the Bully Breaker will Midnight's are off to another great start of another title run Hart still deserves another shot but Bigelow may have found a way in for one of his own. I'm up for a Kawada/Bigelow series. Kelowna Eddie's brainbuster/Frog Splash combo is such a great finishing sequence Pipe puts Hollywood Jack to sleep Windham's another guy I would love to see go up against Kawada Under Piper's tutelage, Candido has been reborn My guys the FOJ's second reign is off and running New LHW champ Lightning Kid closes out the weekend on a high note.

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 6-5-91 Larry Nelson: Hello everybody and welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling. Well, as you witnessed last weekend, the road to WrestleRock is in full throttle. We'll be talking a lot more about WrestleRock tonight. We'll be hearing from the AWA world champ Kokina along with Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie. His WrestleRock opponent Carlos Colon will be in action. We'll also be hearing from Gerry Morrow and the Immortal Hulk Hogan. Also, the Ultimate Warrior will be in this very building tonight! Ok, let's get to the ring. Carlos Colon vs. George Randoni The fans are 100% behind Colon as he works over his opponent and finishes things off with a flying clothesline from the top rope. Nelson: Carlos, you get your golden opportunity at WrestleRock. After last week in Puerto Rico, I have no doubt that you're ready. Colon: I've been waiting my whole career for a chance to wrestle for the world title in front of my people. I have that opportunity and you can bet I've never been more prepared in my life. I'll be going back to Puerto Rico for a couple weeks to train harder than ever. At WrestleRock, I'm coming for the world title and I plan on winning it! We see Kokina standing in front of a WrestleRock banner. The world title is on his shoulder. Adnan has the mic. Adnan: Carlos Colon! You may think you have the upper hand but the only thing you did was upset the monster Kokina! Everybody will see Kokina's wrath when he wrestles 3 men next week on TV. Watch closely Colon! Watch very closely. See what destruction lies ahead of you at WrestleRock! Commercial Break Nelson: Fans, joining me now is Greg Gagne. Gagne: You know, I'm in such a great mood that not even an unenthusiastic nerd like you Larry can spoil it. This is the moment the wrestling world has been waiting for. After months of diligent scouting and searching, I've found my ace wrestler. This man is no ordinary wrestler. This man is a wrestling champion, a wrestling machine, a textbook technician. It is my honor and privilege to introduce to you, all the way from Sweden...The Ace, Frank Andersson! Sweden's National Anthem plays as Frank walks out wearing an Athletic Swedish sweatsuit. Frank's wearing several medals around his neck. He has a combination of confidence and arrogance. He shakes hands with Gagne and snubs Nelson. Gagne: Ace, this truly is a historic moment for me and the entire wrestling world. All those medals represent all of this man's tremendous wrestling accomplishments. Nobody and I mean nobody can outwrestle the Ace. Nelson: Those medals are very impressive indeed. When will we see your ace in the ring? Gagne: (laughs) Are you kidding me? These people will have to pay to watch his debut. I'll give the AWA 2 weeks to find a suitable opponent for my ace and then he will make his glorious debut at WrestleRock. Gagne pulls out a camera. Gagne: Make yourself useful Larry and take a picture of Ace and I. Nelson rolls his eyes. Andersson gives him a glare, so Nelson takes the picture. Gagne: All the wrestling magazines will want this photo on their covers. Thanks nerd. We'll see all of you at WrestleRock. That is if somebody has the guts to face the Ace. Commercial Break Sam Houston vs. Todd Rooney Sam's all over his opponent and easily wins the match with a running bulldog. Sam cuts a promo and says he's ready to give anybody a bunkhouse style whipping at WrestleRock! Commercial Break We get a segment about the card in Milwaukee's Mecca tomorrow night. Footage will be shown next week. Ron Garvin takes on Dick Slater. Also, the big tag team battle royal with the winners getting a world tag shot at WrestleRock. Speaking of the world tag team titles. AWA world champs, the Heavenly Bodies have been seen at many different nightclubs in the V.I.P. sections. They've actually been seen at these clubs with both sets of titles and heard bragging about being dual champions. The Hangman w/Nell vs. Trent Watkins Hangman completely destroys his opponent and finishes things off with the Hangman's neckbreaker. Nell gives Hangman a signal. Hangman lifts his fallen opponent up and drops him with the devastating Heart Punch! Nell cuts a promo as Watkins is being carried out on a stretcher. Nell: Poor Bossman. We have received word that you and the Hangman will cross paths again at WrestleRock. Last week you got just a taste of what the Hangman is capable of. You see that poor soul being stretched out. Take a good hard look Bossman. That's your future. Hangman threatens Nelson with the noose which sends Nelson running. Commercial Break Nelson: I'm here with Austin Idol, now manager of Superstar Bill Dundee. Before Idol can talk, Gary Young walks out. Young: Austin, what's this all about? I trusted you and you abandoned me and also my partners. You let me down Austin. Idol: Gary, darling, I've always liked you but this is a harsh business. I gave you the opportunity of a lifetime but your head was in the clouds. You dropped the ball and most of all you embarrassed me. And darling, you have some serious abandonment issues. I've found someone who wont cave under pressure. Dundee: (smirking and shaking his head) Damn Idol, this is the guy you were praising a while ago? Pathetic. Kid, take a walk and get some therapy. You're not cut out for this business. Young: This is between Austin and me but maybe I can show you just how cut out for this business I am and what a huge mistake Austin made. How about you and I have a match right here, next week? Idol: Oh Gary, just let it go Dundee: Hold on Austin. I would be more than happy to give this punk a wrestling lesson and show him just how hard this business can be. You got a match kid but you're the one who's making a mistake. Before the commercial, Nelson hypes up the WrestleRock match for the AWA International title bout between Konnan and Leo Burke. He says both Konnan and Burke will each have a special sit down interview. Burke's will take place next week. Commercial Break AWA 6-Man Champs Demolition vs. 3 local talents Demolition steam roll over their opponents and win the match with the Decapitator! Footage from last week is shown as Demolition hit the ring to back up Hulk Hogan and fight the Japanese Nelson: Ok, big news. At WrestleRock, the 3 of you will defend the six man titles against Jumbo Tsuruta. Mr. Saito and Shinya Hashimoto. Crush: We said we came here looking for a fight and Hogan offered us one and we accepted! Smash: They like beating people up when the odds are in their favor but the odds are never in your favor when you have to fight Demolition! Ax: We're the champs but we issued the challenge! Now let's see how tough they really are! Commercial Break We go inside a luxury hotel suite. Gerry Morrow is sitting there with Jumbo Tsuruta, Mr. Saito, Shinya Hashimoto and Brenda Britton. All of them are wearing suits. Brenda's in a dress. Morrow: AHHHHHHH Mr. Hogan has put a twist into our saga. I admit, you might have caught us off guard last week but I assure you, we have quickly adjusted and have adapted. My clients here are fearless. De Demolition can't handle what's in store for them at WrestleRock. Mr. Hogan is a foolish man but Demolition are just plain stupid for meddling in our business. De only thing dat will happen is Demolition will be demolished (laughs) at WrestleRock and you will be looking at de new AWA six man champions. Now, as for dat coward Hulk Hogan. Do you really think bringing in muscle will help you at all? (laughs) of course it won't! I gave you a chance Mr. Hogan and now you are de only one to blame when you leave all your fans mourning de death of Hulkamania. I'm telling you right now Mr. Hogan, you will not make it to WrestleRock. I can guarantee dat. We then go to a gym where we see Hulk Hogan pumping iron like a madman. He stops. Hogan: Each rep I do, I can still feel the soreness from the beating that no good snake Morrow and his goons gave me. But Hulk Hogan found a way to even the odds brother. My brothers Demolition have my back and now it's just you and me Morrow! Each night I dream of what I'm going to do to you inside the cage at WrestleRock. I'm counting down the minutes. Gerry Morrow! I'm going to make you suffer and pay for all the sins you committed against HulkaMania. So, at WrestleRock, inside the steel cage, with nowhere to run or nowhere to hide, whatcha gonna do when the power of all my Hulkamaniacs and Hulkamania run wild on youuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Commercial Break Maxx Payne vs. Ray Glader Payne basically tortures his opponent and makes him suffer more as he clamps on the Payne Killer for the submission win. Payne goes to ringside and starts jamming on his guitar as Nelson tries to get a word with him. AWA Commissioner Magnum TA comes out and Payne slows down and stops. Magnum: I'll be honest with you Maxx Payne. After what you did last week to Bad News Brown, it's obvious you didn't learn anything from your suspension. I wanted to fire you. However, I talked with Bad News Brown and he demanded a match with you. I'm going to give it to him. You'll be facing him at WrestleRock! Magnum leaves. A grin comes over Maxx's face. He starts playing TAPS on his guitar. Nelson gets creeped out. Commercial Break Larry Nelson is standing in the ring. Nelson: Fans, this is a moment we've been anticipating for a while. Coming out now...THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR! The powerful guitar riff hits. The fans go nuts as the Warrior sprints to the ring. He gets inside and shakes the ropes. He paces around with an intense look. He gets the mic from Nelson. Warrior: Talk to me Warriors! Big pop Warrior: I have arrived! The Warrior is here on a quest and that quest begins right now! I must summons another warrior. Kerry Von Erich! I extend an invitation for you to join me in this ring. Stand here with me Kerry Von Erich! The fans are waiting anxiously. Rush's Tom Sawyer plays and the fans go wild. Kerry comes out and walks to the ring with intensity of his own. He steps through the ropes. Warrior and Kerry stand face to face. Warrior: Kerry Von Erich! I have watched you conquer and win numerous battles here in the AWA. I have watched you overcome all adversity and emerge victorious in your wars. You truly are a modern day warrior! Warrior respectfully bows to Kerry Warrior: As I stood over a mountain top, voices of past Warriors spoke to me. In order for me to be the Ultimate Warrior, I must face only the greatest warriors. Kerry Von Erich, I issue a challenge to you. There is no other way. For me to become the true Ultimate Warrior I must defeat the Modern Day Warrior in battle. Do you accept this challenge? The fans are stunned and wait for the response. Kerry: (looks around at the fans) The past year, I've been bloodied, beaten up, battered and bruised. However, in the end, I've always won the war. A true modern day warrior fights. I've never backed down from a challenge and these people know that. (CHEERS) So, Ultimate Warrior, I accept your challenge! (HUGE POP) Man to Man! Warrior: Warrior to Warrior! We will battle until one remains. The way it has always been meant to be. Warrior extends his hand. Kerry shakes it. They grip hard and pull each other into an epic stare down.

Well, it was only a matter of time but Pretty in Pink finally disband. It seems 12 hours on the farm was enough to rehabilitate Tasha. Great stuff. The big news is the arrival of Brother Love. Man, this just might be the perfect place for him.

Gordy and Orndorff are old school tough guys that bring legitimacy to SMW. If SMW wants fans in the buildings, this feud for the title is the way to go IRS and Wright work so well together. I think they're giving Dutch a run as top heels here Austin's getting the experience of a lifetime in SMW. He's making the most of his chance to shine and show the world he has what it takes to be a star. Murdoch always cracked me up when he was with the Russians. Classic Dutch, loses the match and blames Ahmed. Dutch better watch it. Ahmed isn't somebody you want to piss off Great preview to the tag tournament as Destruction Crew and TNT go all out.

Scott's win will generate him some good buzz You can definitely see Kanemoto's improvement That kick really woke Benoit up. He rebounded well That visual of Kakihara's final high kick shows how devasting kicks can be Tamura and Yamazaki looked incredible tonight. These guys are legit contenders Fujinami took an extreme amount of punishment tonight. Onita and Sayama can be considered for a title shot as well HUGE win for Shamrock! This catapults him to another level. Han and Takada put on a thriller. Nice comeback from Han. Vrij gives Maeda an early scare but Maeda shows why he's the champ by remaining calm and steadily wearing Vrij down for the submission. Oh man I would love to see Vader and Maeda go at it again!

The Clash is building into something big. The tag team situation will finally be resolved in a triple threat match. That one's going to be hard hitting for sure Hall gets his opportunity but he's facing a red hot Sting Smart move with the babyfaces uniting against the Dangerous Alliance. Really looking forward to that Pillman/Zbyszko match The drama continues between Morton and Hayes. Good job with the showcases tonight. Harley's men look dominant while Hennig and Rude look polished as ever York will finally set Tenryu loose at the Clash. I think the other factions better take notice Bad omen for Anvil as he looks to be Taker's next target No chaos this week but the stare downs speak volumes

KOTR! Dynamite and Hase kick things off with one heck of an opener. Hart's interference backfires as Dynamite advances. Thanks to Taylor's pre match beating on JYD, Andre easily advances. Hmmmmm, what was that all about??? Duggan came out swinging but one mistake is all Flair needed as he pulls off the classic heel roll up Ok Nailz completely snapped. Backlund should've known this man cannot be rehabilitated. Andre's been a lucky man tonight. I'm sure Tatanka will want another fight with Nailz but he better bring his tomahawk with him The 8 man tag was a lot of fun. Loved the heels arguing with each other as well as the managers. Warlord seems to be getting a good push. Dynamite sure made Flair work for that win. Great job making Dynamite look strong in defeat. Flair really got to shine here. Very interesting finals ahead Damn, Earthquake looked like an absolute beast tonight. I wouldn't mind seeing an Earthquake/Warlord IC match. Awesome segment with Taylor and Nailz. From the envelope to the spotted spray can to the Million Dollar Corporation card. So many questions but a lot of clues to answers Santana and Lawler give the fans an exciting title bout. Funk keeping order amongst all the chaos was great stuff. Santana gets the big win and gives him even more credibility as a fighting champ. Also sets up an inevitable Funk/Lawler feud which is always money. I think Taylor was better off staying in the back. Thanks to him, Flair was able to pull it off and win the KOTR. And now, Taylor has an angry giant to worry about. Flair giving another epic promo was a fitting end to an amazing night. Flair and Santana are going to tear it up at SummerSlam! Props to you and all your hard work. The match write ups were well detailed and so realistic. The commentary was spot on as well as the promos. Not to mention the creative storylines going on. Well done!

Seattle Showdown! Here we go! 1991, grunge capitol, only fitting to have a local act kick things off. This band has potential Windham and the Gunns win the first battle but this war's just begun Headbangers and Thrillseekers love to party but when the bell rings it's all business One thing I love about this game is feuds like Slaughter and Condrey Douglas is on the rise again After that high profile win over Awesome, Bigelow deserves a title shot Nicely played Alex Wright. Dreamer might be on the verge of losing it I don't think anything can stop the Macho Man. OOOHHHH YEA! PCO had his working boots on but RVD was just one step ahead Oh man, there's nothing more frightening than an unhinged Severn Props to Coast to Coast on a solid run but man I'm happy to see one of my favorite teams regain the titles. Kid dethrones Liger in an absolute thriller. What a way to end night 1 Night 2, this should be good Nothing wrong with kicking things off with a competitive draw between 2 hungry teams I've got to hand it to Richards, he got focused and gets a big win on a big show Son's get a most satisfying win especially with Sandman putting Vito down Eddie's on an incredible streak and tonight he shows the world he's a serious contender Sabu's nuts but man he's fun to watch I believe the OWC are about to go on a terror Finlay sure came to fight but my main man Busick retains. Busick's been the man in this world Who would've thought that after everything they've been through, Piper and Candido would have such great chemistry. This one's going to sting for the Playboy Club Retaining over a submission technician like Malenko proves Regal's on his A game WOW! Williams ends Dibiase's reign of terror and sends him packing. It appears the Collective feel they're better off without him. Big moment for sure Awwwww man, I hated to see Iron and Steel's reign come to an end but I'll admit it's cool seeing the Midnights rise up again This is the showdown I've been waiting for. Hart was all business and had one heck of a game plan. Hart was always a step ahead and I thought he had it. Until the chaos. A superkick by Adams followed by a Kawada brainbuster, damn! Kawada has been built up so well that he really did deserve this. The question now is who can stop this wrecking machine??? One of the best events of the year. Great job!

AWA @ The Roy Wilkins Auditorium, St. Paul MN 5-30-91 Larry Nelson: Hello everybody and welcome to a special Saturday edition of AWA Major League Wrestling from right here in St. Paul Minnesota.

Commercial Break We see footage from last week as a returning Tully Blanchard helps Tommy Rich defeat the Magnificent Muraco. Nelson: Joining me now are Tommy Rich along with Tully Blanchard. Massive boos! Nelson: I thought I saw the last of you Tully Blanchard Rich: Did somebody say something about Tully Blanchard (laughs) You thought wrong dummy! Now show some respect, shut up and let Tully talk. Tully: Muraco! Did you really think I would never return again? Oh no! You need to pay for what you did. You were a big part of why the Horsemen are no longer around. You think I would forget that? It's payback time and I've got the man who hates you just as much as I do. Tell them Tommy. Rich: Muraco, all you do is cause problems. You don't mind your own business. I watched you pal around with Chump Hogan and fight his battles with the Horsemen. Then you get in my business because of your stupid friend Hogan. Big mistake! You're looking at two men who hate your guts and are going to rid the AWA of you once and for all. It felt so good piledriving your fat head on that chair last week. And I'd love to do it again, if you're stupid enough to come back for more. Tully: He's stupid alright and I can't wait to slap all that stupid out of him. You're finished Muraco! Commercial Break Once again Scott Norton is in the ring pacing around an arm wrestling table. Ted Arcidi grabs the mic Arcidi: Week after week, the Flash mows them down. Well, it looks like he's scared everybody off because nobody wants to arm wrestle him this week. What a bunch of scared bums. Ok, one last chance. Are there any gutless wimps in the back up for the task? Norton flexes as Arcidi waits. The fans cheer as The Missouri Tiger hits the ring. He rips off his football jersey and says "Let's do this!" Arcidi laughs at him. Norton's veins bulge as he yells "Come on!" Both men set up. The Ref sets his hands on theirs then releases. Both men's muscles bulge as they lock up and go for it. Norton gets the advantage as Arcidi cheers him on. The fans rally Tiger. Tiger feels their energy and starts to get the upper hand. Arcidi nails Tiger with a punch! Norton pulls Tiger over the table and starts pounding on him. Norton grabs Tiger and slams his head on the table. Norton picks up Tiger and slams him through the table! My goodness! Arcidi is yelling and pumping Norton up. Norton looks down at Tiger and flexes. Commercial Break We see Greg Gagne in front of a wrestling ring Gagne: For months I've traveled the world looking for my ace wrestler. It wasn't easy and this was the hardest thing I've ever gone through but after all that intense worldwide scouting, I have finally found my ace. This man deserves a grand reception and next week he will get it. My ace is coming to the AWA and this man is going to change the entire wrestling landscape. Trust me. Commercial Break Nelson: I'm here with Austin Idol. Austin, where's Gary Young? Idol: It goes like this darling. I turned three underachievers into 6-Man champions and then they blew it. And then, I give Gary Young an opportunity of a lifetime and what happened? That idiot fumbled the ball big time. Well, Austin Idol's looking for a sure bet. From now on, I'm going to manage someone who deserves it. Someone who's been around. Someone who's reliable and dependable. I'm talking about this someone, the Superstar Bill Dundee. Now check this out. 'Superstar' Bill Dundee w/Austin Idol vs. Kyle West Austin's having a great time as Dundee works over his opponent then finishes things off with the Bombs Away. Austin looks into the camera "That's how it's done" Commercial Break Nelson: Ok, I'm here with the Big Bossman. I know you've heard the threats from Nell and the Hangman. Bossman: All they are is empty threats to me. If they want... Boos as Nell walks out Nell: Big Bossman, I assure you these threats are very real and your day is coming. Bossman: You see, I back up what I say. I said you would be under arrest if you trespassed. It looks to me that you're in violation which means you're under arrest! The fans are up and cheering as Bossman handcuffs Nell to the ropes. Bossman twirls his nightstick. WHAM! Hangman clotheslines Bossman from behind! Hangman pounds away on Bossman. Hangman hurls Bossman into the ring. Hangman follows, picks up Bossman and delivers a hangman's neckbreaker! Hangman picks up his noose and wraps it around Bossman's neck. Hangman hurls Bossman over the top rope and starts hanging him! Security and officials run in to stop the madness. Commercial Break Bobby Blaze vs. Carl Kellerman A lot of chaos tonight but luckily Blaze gets things somewhat back to normal with a solid wrestling performance. Blaze gets the pin with a Northern Lights Suplex. Commercial Break We see a video set to Rush's Tom Sawyer. Kerry Von Erich looks like Conan the Barbarian as he rides a horse shirtless. It shows Kerry pumping iron, running and highlights of in ring action.

Nelson: Kerry, I know you have your sights set on the world title and I'm sure you'll get that opportunity soon. Kerry: I couldn't be happier for my good friend Carlos Colon. Kerry Von Erich will be waiting patiently. In the meantime I'm ready for anything and anybody. Just sign your name on the dotted line and you got a match with me. Commercial Break We see the Ultimate Warrior standing in front of a desert background " The time has come! Next week my mission will be revealed. The start of my quest to become the one and true Ultimate Warriorrrrrrrrrrrr! Commercial Break Larry Neslon is standing in the ring Nelson: Please welcome out the immortal Hulk Hogan! Eye of the Tiger hits and the place goes bananas! Hogan has one determined look on his face as he enters the ring. He gives his fans a thumbs up. Nelson: Hulk, I know you're still a little banged up from what went down at Title Night. How are you holding up? Will you be ready for Gerry Morrow and the cage at WrestleRock? Hogan: Well you know something Lethal Larry. Every time I hear the name Gerry Morrow I get sick to my stomach. There's a rage that burns inside me. A rage that's never been there. A rage that Gerry Morrow has brought. It's one thing that he can't do things on his own and has his Japanese henchmen take me down but it's another to degrade, humiliate and embarrass Hulk Hogan and all my Hulkamaniacs. Nuclear heat as Gerry Morrow, Jumbo Tsuruta, Mr. Saito and Shinya Hashimoto walk to the ring. They all enter. Nelson: Ok, slow down. Not tonight. Morrow: AHHHHHH relax Larry. I'm here in peace. (looks at Hogan) I gave you a choice last week Mr. Hogan. De rumor is you might be leaving de AWA. You and I both know, you will not make it to WrestleRock (motions to the Japanese) So, why don't you salvage any dignity you have left and just leave right now. In fact, we will indeed have a toast to de end of Hulkamania. Be smart Mr. Hogan, I will not offer you dis deal again. Hogan looks around and processes all this. Morrow: Mr. Hogan, I'm growing very impatient. And so are my clients. Hogan: Morrow! You can take your ultimatum and shove it where the sun don't shine! Mega pop! The Japanese walk towards Hogan. Morrow tells them to wait. Morrow: You're a foolish man Mr. Hogan. I'm a nice guy so I will allow you last words to your fans before we end Hulkamania right here, tonight. Hogan: Well you know something Gerry Morrow, I will be at WrestleRock and you will have to deal with me. And I mean you and you all alone. You see, I talked to some guys who are looking for a fight and they want a fight right now! The place goes bonkers as Demolition hit the ring and start hammering away on the Japanese! Hogan punches Morrow several times. Morrow stumbles back through the ropes. Morrow's all over the place as he staggers and falls down several times. Demolition clean house.

Whatcha gonna do inside the cage at WrestleRock, when Hulk Hogan runs wild on youuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

Chicky Starr vs. Harold Bannister Chicky makes his return to the AWA tonight and the fans here aren't thrilled to see him. Chicky's arrogance never leaves as he dominates his opponent and wins the match with a corkscrew elbow drop. Resnick announces that Chicky Starr will be on the commentary team at WrestleRock. Chicky cuts a promo in Spanish and says Puerto Rico can't have a big event like WrestleRock without the great Chicky Starr there. The world will get to hear his iconic voice at WrestleRock.

Cobra gives them a great visual as he hits the frog splash for the win. Vinnie and Barr give Cobra a mock clap. Barr is heard saying "He better stop using my move" Commercial Break Maxx Payne and his guitar Norma Jean walk over to Resnick. Payne: The suspension is over and the Payne is back. Time to rock! Payne starts jamming on his guitar. It looks like it's a little too loud for Resnick, so he backs up. Payne continues to jam into the commercial break. Commercial Break Payne is still jamming away as Resnick stands on the other side of the ring, Resnick: Fans, next up will be the much- anticipated return of former AWA world champion, Bad News Brown. Brown heads down the aisle, clenching his fists. He walks by Payne and gives him a threatening look. This distraction causes Payne to mess up. Brown heads towards the ring. WHAM! Payne whacks the back of Brown's with the guitar! Resnick: My goodness! What the hell did he do that for?! We need help out here! Payne smiles down at an unconscious Brown. The fans boo as Security runs out and backs a smiling Payne away. Moments later, medics put a neckbrace on Brown and stretcher him out. Commercial Break It's dark and then we see a fire light up. The Tribal Nation sit near the fire with war paint on. Chris: We had lost our way but now we have been guided back. Mark: We no longer give. We no longer accept defeat. Chris: We take and we win! The flames shoots up Los Boricuas vs. Todd Rooney and Ray Glader The home fans cheer throughout the match as Los Boricuas give them a fun showcase. Perez slams Rooney as Castillo hits a slingshot splash for the win. Resnick informs Los Boricuas that they will face Rampage at WrestleRock right here in Puerto Rico. This pumps up Los Boricuas and the fans. Commercial Break Magnum TA comes back out. Magnum: This was supposed to be a fun night and I was looking forward to watching former world champ Bad News Brown in action but Maxx Payne had to ruin it all. Brown's been taken to the hospital and I'll be heading over soon. Rest assured I'll deal with Maxx Payne. (settles down) Ok, back to WrestleRock. It's been decided that at WrestleRock, Konnan and Leo Burke will wrestle for the vacated International title. I think the right two men were chosen and it should be a damn good match up and I look forward to crowning a new International champion. May the best man win. And now I have some exciting news especially for these great fans here in Puerto Rico. What would WrestleRock be without some celebrities. Get ready because Hector 'Macho' Camacho is coming to WrestleRock! (Huge pop) And as tradition goes, following WrestleRock will be a concert. Performing after the matches will be none other than the legend himself Jose Feliciano! (The fans go wild) Resnick: Unbelievable! What a historic night it will be right here in Puerto Rico! We then go to a video of a Heavenly Bodies photo shoot. UFO's Too Hot to Handle plays as we see the Heavenly Bodies in full on model treatment.

BOOOS as Iceman Parsons and Jackie walk out. Jackie: Listen up Gama and listen real good! Parsons: You talk about defending your title against all comers well boy you have yet to defeat me. I hold the wins over you and I want what I deserve! Another title shot! I've got your number so let's see if you've got the guts. Gama: I'll make this real easy for you. You want another shot at this (holds up the title) you got it! Things start to get heated but Magnum comes out again. Magnum: I agree, let's make this real easy. The TV title match is on and it will happen at WrestleRock! Jackie: Kiss your title goodbye! Parsons: You can't beat me and you know it! That there title is all mine! Gama: This title will stay right here...with me! Commercial Break El Canek and Mil Mascaras vs. Arnie Goldstein and Warren Coolidge The fans get more thrills.

Resnick announces that on June 6th at the Mecca in Milwaukee, there will be a tag team battle royal and the winners will get a world tag team title shot at WrestleRock. Commercial Break Resnick: Ok, with me now are the former AWA world tag team champs, Ron Garvin and Dick Slater. Gentlemen, I really hope you two can work this out. Garvin: Ok Dick, what the hell was that all about? Slater: What the hell do you think? You don't think I know you punched me on purpose. Garvin: What, you think because you accidentally punched me a few weeks ago that I hit you on purpose at Title Night? We lost the world titles! You think I wanted that? Slater: Damn right we lost the titles! We had it all and because of you, we lost it all! And I'll tell you this, if that's all you got, you're in serious trouble because it ain't much! Garvin: I wouldn't say that because when you hit me we didn't lose the titles but when you got punched, we lost the titles. Looks to me like I'm the one who can take a punch. Slater's pissed Slater: Well then, it looks like we have a problem. Garvin: Yea, I guess we do Slater: Then let's settle this like men. Meet me in Milwaukee on June 6th and we can settle this in the ring. No excuses, tougher man wins. Garvin: If that's the only way to resolve this, fine by me. Both men storm off as Resnick looks disappointed Commercial Break Ken Resnick stands in the middle of the ring with a small table beside him. Resnick: Fans, at WrestleRock, on night one, right here in Puerto Rico, Kokina will defend the AWA world title against Carlos Colon. In my hand is the official contract for that bout. Right now, I need both men's signature. If Carlos Colon can come on out. Colon gets a standing ovation as he heads into the ring. He shakes Resnick's hand and pumps his fists to the fans. He quickly signs the contract. Resnick: I'm sure you have a lot to say to all your fans Carlos. Colon gives a passionate promo in both Spanish and English Colon: My goal has always been to become world champion. I know in my heart that this is the right time. I've never been more prepared, determined and focused in my life! The best part of all is I get this tremendous opportunity in front of all my beloved fans, friends and family. I love you Puerto Rico and I promise to bring the AWA world title home! The fans give Colon a massive ovation. Resnick: Ok, thank you very much Carlos. Now, would Adnan Al-Kassie and the world champion Kokina come out. Adnan leads Kokina to the ring. Kokina has the world title on his shoulder. They enter the ring. Kokina stares daggers at Colon while punching the title. Kokina hands the belt to Adnan and signs the contract. Adnan: It is very clear to me that the powers that be in the AWA are favoring one Carlos Colon. (looks at Colon) Your wars mean nothing to us! You have never faced anyone like Kokina. Kokina will destroy and annihilate you in front of all your beloved fans, friends and family. You have shed blood many times Colon and at WrestleRock, you will not only bleed but you will be broken. By signing this contract, you have sealed your fate. Let me show you exactly what I mean! Kokina grabs Colon from behind and headbutts him! Resnick gets out of there. Adnan tells Kokina to punish him. Kokina swings Colon into the corner and goes for a corner splash but Colon moves. The fans go nuts as Colon unloads on Kokina with punches! Adnan tries to escape but Colon grabs him. Colon knocks Kokina and Adnan's heads together. Adnan falls through the ropes. Kokina's staggering. Colon swings off the ropes and clotheslines Kokina. Kokina's teetering. Colon swings off the ropes again and nails Kokina with a running forearm blast. Kokina falls back and through the ropes. The fans are going crazy as Colon does a cartwheel and pumps his fists! See you tomorrow for our special TV episode from Minnesota

I would definitely check this out on Youtube Tankman and Holiday earned their way to the finals with some big wins The Good Brothers and Mickie James are well established so smart move putting them over on your first big event I was glad to see the Andersons win the titles. Just the name Anderson means so much in wrestling. Looking forward to their run Hammerstoner's a wanted man now. He costs Tankman big time. Holiday's a good choice as your first champ. He has that IT factor and I think will be a good draw. Looks like SMW off and running now.

WCW was already super hot. Luger's return elevates things even more. Him and Sid will be money. The Dangerous Alliance make their goals known The tag team division is insane. Doom better get on the same page. York with Tenryu is very interesting. An International York Foundation would be so cool. Undertaker keeps moving up Despite all the dysfunction, Hayes and Morton keep hanging on to the titles Fun main event. I'm looking forward to Pillman and Zbyszko battling over the TV title. Hall's been built up to be a very credible world title contender. Him and Sting will give the fans a good one

The VHS tape is a nice touch. Brings back memories Gordy's the way to go. He brings automatic credibility to the title and has a lot of guys to draw with. He already has a ready to go program with Orndorff. The behind the scenes finance figures were very interesting. I like that your putting effort into this and looking at the business side of things. From everything I've heard, this is all pretty spot on as far as how territories worked. Of course, I would say getting TV exposure is top priority. You have known names and people will tune in to watch and show up at bigger arenas due to televised promotions. It might take a little time but I believe SMW could be molded into something big.

The Smoking Gunns put in a solid showcase Man, I'm loving heel Martel. So much potential here The Playboy Club certainly has acquired some serious muscle You are the best at rebuilding a wrestler. Douglas is more proof of that. Richards helps his buddy Scotty get a nice win. These guys do make a good team Loved that Bigelow/Sabu match up and the way Bigelow knew he had to put Sabu down with everything he had LA Piper has finally gotten through to Candido. I hope the Playboy Club are ready Lee's looking to put the terror factor back in Dibiase's group Sons and Dudley's end in the way I thought it would No doubt about it, Kawada's ready for his shot Busick puts another one down. I agree, he just might be the most dominant TV champ our game has seen Hart and Condrey give the fans an epic classic. I wonder if Hart has enough left for Kawada Santa Barbara I always liked when a draw was thrown in from time to time. Just a solid and competitive match Money Train look good with the win over the Headbangers Finlay's back on the rise while Blackman has fallen on hard times. However, like I said before, never write a wrestler off in PCW No shame for Richards losing to a former 2 time champ in Windham. I would like to see Windham go for the title one more time I'm sure Regal loved wiping that smirk off Wright's face and making him submit Dreamer puts in a fight but RVD finishes things off with another exciting visual

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 5-22-91 Highlights are shown from Title Night in Winnipeg. Larry Nelson: Hello everyone and welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling. We have a loaded show for you tonight. Tommy Rich takes on The Magnificent Muraco. The British Bombers clash with current rivals, the Guerreros. Speaking of rivalries, the Rock n Roll RPMs will face TCB. I also understand that Gerry Morrow will be here tonight. So much going on, so let's get down to business. Please welcome out the AWA Commissioner Magnum TA. Cheers as Magnum walks out wearing his jeans and leather jacket. He's also holding the AWA International title. Nelson: Magnum, the road to WrestleRock is in full swing and I know you have a lot to talk about. Magnum: Thank you very much Larry and I sure do. I promised you at Title Night that I would reveal the stadium site for night 1 of WrestleRock. And I will. However, before I get to that I need to address the AWA International Title. As we all saw, Carlos Colon has relinquished this title for a shot at the world title. I mentioned that the timing couldn't be better. The stadium that's been chosen to host night 1 of WrestleRock will be Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan Puerto Rico. So, on that note, Carlos Colon will get his AWA world title shot in his homeland at WrestleRock. Nelson: Wow! Incredible. I have to say, Carlos Colon has definitely earned this moment for all he's contributed to the AWA. Magnum: I couldn't agree more Larry. The AWA world title bout between Kokina and Carlos Colon will headline night 1 and the great fans in Puerto Rico deserve to see their hero get his opportunity. Now, while we're talking about WrestleRock. Next week, to really get in the spirit of things, the fans will be treated to 2 televised specials. One will take place at the Roy Wilkins Auditorium in St. Paul Minnesota while the other will be held in the Hector Sola Bezares Coliseum in Puerto Rico. We will have the official AWA world title WrestleRock contract signing in Puerto Rico next week. As far as this International title goes, I will make my decision within a couple weeks but I can tell you that a new champion will be crowned at WrestleRock. Ok, one last thing regarding Gerry Morrow's actions at Title Night. I spoke to Hulk Hogan and of course he's still pretty banged up but he told me he will be on next week's TV show from Minnesota with a special message for one Gerry Morrow. Larry, thank you for this time, I know that was a lot to process. Nelson: (smiling) It was indeed. Fans, I've never been more excited for an event than this year's WrestleRock. We'll be right back. Commercial Break The Big Bossman vs. Carl Kellerman Bossman has definitely gotten over with the AWA fans as they pop big when he hits the sidewalk slam for the win. Nelson askes Bossman about Nell's presence a couple weeks ago. Bossman: He can play all the mind games he wants but if he trespasses in my ring, he's going to serve hard time! Commercial Break The Rock n Roll RPMs vs. TCB w/Jackie These teams have been going at it all over the loop and it shows tonight as they go back and forth with intensity. RPMs control a segment with crisp moves and quick tags. They almost get the win with a double snap suplex/stereo elbow drops but Jones saves his partner. Later, thanks to a distraction by Jackie, TCB takes control and works over Davis with classic heel moves and double teaming. Jones nails Davis with a gut punch as Walker hits a sunset flip but Lane breaks the pin attempt. It isn't long before chaos breaks loose. The Ref does all he can but eventually signals for a double DQ. The teams keep fighting into the commercial break Commercial Break We see the desolate town again. The Hangman is standing there gripping his noose. The camera pans over to Nell. Nell: I think it's very obvious that we have chosen the Big Bossman as our next poor soul. The Bossman claims to be the law and order in the AWA. However, I beg to differ. There's only one man that serves justice here in the AWA and that's the Hangman. Justice will be served on you Bossman because around here, the Hangman is judge, jury and executioner. Your time is coming Bossman. Hangman grips his noose harder. We come back and see the arm wrestling table set up. A muscular man name Lynn Tucker waits in the ring. Ted Arcidi grabs the mic from Nelson. Arcidi: It's time to watch the Flash in action again. Watch how fast Scotty puts this bum down! Scott Norton gets in the ring. He quickly locks hands with his opponent. The Ref says go and Norton slams Tucker's arm down! Arcidi: Nice! Ok Scotty, get that bum out of your ring! Norton grabs Tucker by his hair and hurls him over the top rope. Norton's veins bulge as he flexes. Commercial Break Rampage vs. Vic Dutro and Willie Lopez Before Rampage gets to the ring, Los Boricuas attack them from behind! They hurl Morgan over the guard railing and double slam Equalizer on the concrete. Los Boricuas are heard yelling "You didn't know who you were messing with!" Commercial Break We see Bad News Brown standing on a street corner "The time for talking is over! I'm coming back next week and that's a lot of bad news for anybody that stands in my way!" We then go to a night club and see the Heavenly Bodies sitting at a table surrounded by beautiful women. Both sets of AWA tag titles are on the table. Prichard and Del Ray talk about how it's been a week long party and they've decided to go on a celebration tour. They feel as both world champions and National champions, this is well deserved. Larry Nelson: It appears that the new world tag team champions, Heavenly Bodies are more focused on celebrating than the actual titles themselves. Speaking of that, I understand that Dick Slater and Ron Garvin will be here next week to air out their issues. I really hope they can. Commercial Break The British Bombers vs. The Guerreros These teams have been trading wins, going to double countouts and double disqualifications all over the globe. One thing is certain, both teams can wrestle and tonight they put on a tag team clinic. Bombers go all out with power moves by Smith and aggressive technical wrestling by Tony. Guerreros show off their tag team expertise with solid double team maneuvers, take downs and submission holds. The match goes back and forth and both teams have their working boots on. Smith hits a superplex on Chavo but Hector breaks it with a knee drop. Tony charges in and nails Hector with a running European uppercut. The Ref finally gets control and guides Tony back. Chavo misses a clothesline on Smith, Smith swings off the ropes and hits a Thesz Press, Chavo holds on while falling back as Hector (from the apron) grabs Smith's head and snaps it on the top rope. Chavo covers as the Ref runs over and counts 1...Chavo pulls the tights for more leverage..2...3! Guerreros win a battle. We see Maxx Payne jamming on a guitar. He stops and gives an evil grin "Me and Norma Jean got a new song called the Payne Game and I'm going to play it when I return next week. Payne's coming back and nobody's safe" Maxx starts jamming again. Commercial Break We see highlights from Title Night as the Japanese triple powerbomb Hulk Hogan and hold him while Gerry Morrow headbutts Hogan and pours champagne over his head, then spits champagne in his face. Larry Nelson's standing in the ring and he doesn't look enthused Nelson: Coming out now is Gerry Morrow along with Jumbo Tsuruta, Mr. Saito, Shinya Hashimoto and Brenda Britton. Everybody is wearing a suit. Brenda's in a sparkling dress. Gerry's got on his white suit, sunglasses and fedora. They enter the ring. The Japanese are stoic. Brenda's all smiles. Gerry lets the boos reign down on him as he gives the fans a bow. Nelson: You and your henchmen may have gotten the best of Hulk Hogan at Title Night but you still have to face him in the cage at WrestleRock. Oh and without any of your henchmen. Morrow: AHAHAHAHA, do I look worried Mr. Nelson? Let us be real. How many times have I gotten de best of Hulk Hogan? I've lost count. Nelson: Ok, well, let's not forget about that beating he gave you at Champagne Slam. How many days were you in the hospital again? Brenda snags the mic Britton: Alright Larry! Beat it! I gave you a chance but you're being rude and disrespectful! So, get lost loser! Nelson: (mutters) My pleasure Britton watches Larry leave with a distain look on her face. The Japanese make Larry nervous with their menacing glares. Britton: Ok Gerry, please continue Morrow: AHHHHHHH, thank you Brenda. Now, let us look at de history of Hulk Hogan. He blames me for not winning de world title at SuperClash. So, what does he do? He brings up ridiculous, outrageous and false allegations against me. He failed miserably to win de world title at Champagne Slam and again, he blames me. Then, he violently attacks me. De man should be in jail for assault. Hulk Hogan is nothing but a crybaby. Well, if he even makes it to WrestleRock, I will make him cry and beg for sure. He cannot deal with me in de cage. He cannot handle what I have in store for him. Mr. Hogan, why don't you just quit now. Save yourself de humiliation I will put you through at WrestleRock in de cage. You say you will be here next week. Show up and publicly apologize. We can then be civil and even have a toast to de end of Hulkamania. You can leave de AWA without any further embarrassment. De choice is all yours. Britton: There you have it. It all happens here. You better make the right decision Hulk Hogan or else. Until next week, tooooodles. Commercial Break Nelson reminds us of the 2 TV specials next week airing from Minnesota and Puerto Rico. Hulk Hogan will be in Minnesota while the AWA world title WrestleRock contract signing will take place in Puerto Rico with world champ Kokina and number one contender Carlos Colon. The Magnificent Muraco vs. 'Wildfire' Tommy Rich The bell rings and fists are flying. These guys fight in and out and all around the ring. On the outside, Muraco gets the upper hand, slams Rich's head on the apron and hurls him back into the ring. Muraco goes to the top rope. Rich staggers up and Muraco drops a double axhandle on him 1..2..kick out. Muraco puts his knee on Rich's chest, pulls Rich's head up by his hair and pounds away on his head. Rich is busted open. Muraco picks Rich up, Rich takes a wild swing, Muraco ducks and atomic drops Rich. Rich collides into the Ref and the Ref goes down. Muraco hoists Rich up for his inverted piledriver WHAM! Muraco's hit from behind with a steel chair by TULLY BLANCHARD! Tully revives Rich. Tully hits Muraco again with the chair. Tully sets the chair down. Rich staggers over and hoists Muraco up and piledrives him down on the chair! Tully wakes up the Ref. The Ref crawls over and counts 1..2..3! The show ends with the fans booing as Tully and Rich laugh and hug over a fallen Muraco.
