The promos were gold tonight. WCW has a roster full of great talkers and you capture them all so well. BTW, Mando is really shining on the mic. Piper adds so much to the show. He's not afraid to make fun of anyone hahahaha. RnR are the favorites, but man I'm pulling for the Latin Connection. I think Dusty is going to whip some serious butt in the bunkhouse match. Sting's fired up, but I have a feeling the Horsemen are planning something big. Humungous is being built up as an unstoppable monster. Damn good visual. Could Arn be the one to get Piper back to the ring? Valiant's having some fun and Rogers will be looking for payback. Reed is about to explode, and it might be on Gilbert. The Clash has been built up well and I can't wait for the pay off.

Listen up and listen good. My mission is to end your evil reign of terror and to make things right again. You don't belong here and I despise everything you represent. (looks at the crowd) You people are the reason why this country is becoming weak. You welcome and support a commie like Nikita Koloff. Sgt. Slaughter is going to put a stop to that. By any means necessary I will take the world title from Nikita Koloff and bring it back to where it belongs. (looks at Resnick) You're dismissed!

Goodnight everybody.

Like the others have mentioned, all eyes will be on the Koslowskis. Also looking forward to Billy Robinson's influence.

The Diamond Exchange has taken PCW by storm. It appears Harts and friends have big targets on their backs. Adams return might've been overshadowed by Steamboat's, but he is really finding his groove. I like that you're incorporating Buddy's weight here. I've heard stories that despite his weight, he was an incredible athlete. SCS better keep that in mind while joking around. Lee and Cactus could turn into one of PCW's hardest hitting feuds. Haynes just made a STRONG statement with that submission win over Backlund. Portland, I wonder if Payne is looking to take down the NOE one by one. Hall felt that one. However, that won't be enough to slow him down. He's been through worse here. That tag team match was a great way to showcase the LHW talent. Steamboat's one step ahead of Regal's brass knuckles. Trouble's seriously brewing in the Playboy Club. Windham once again looks strong by taking down the CA champ. I'm loving the build to him and Haynes. Eugene, I like how the show started and ended with the LHW's. This division is nothing short of amazing. Barr's really gone off the deep end, but it seems to be paying off. Albright shines and that's saying something considering who was involved in this match. Has any young talent been on a hotter role than Christopher? It's obvious the war between Burke and Finlay is far from over. There is literally something for everyone here in Pacific.

I'm so excited because once again, Gerry Morrow has signed a true wrestling superstar. This man needs no introduction but I'm going to give him one anyways. Please welcome to the AWA, Terry Bam Bam Gordy! A gasp goes over the arena as Terry Gordy heads down the aisle wearing jeans and a Lynyrd Skynyrd T-Shirt, along with a black cowboy hat. Britton: Terry Gordy, it's my pleasure to welcome you to the AWA. Gordy: Thank You Brenda. I'm going to make this short and sweet. I came to the AWA to kick ass and take names. Well, the only name on my list is Kerry Von Erich! There's nothing I hate more than a Von Erich! When Gerry Morrow reached out to me, it was a no brainer because I knew that yellow, spinless coward Kerry Von Erich was here. You've been dodging and running from me for too long Kerry! I'll tell you something boy, you better hope you don't make it out of War Games tomorrow night because if you do, I'm going to be right here waiting. You're just lucky I'm not in that match or you wouldn't survive boy! Get ready Von Erich, because I'm coming for you and coming hard! Gordy storms off. Britton: WOW! My goodness!

The opening minutes is all Guerreros as they take turns pinballing the Wild Ones all over the place. The Guerreros are putting on a tag team clinic as they flawlessly work over the Wild Ones with pure wrestling and crisp double team maneuvers.

Davey then tags in Johnny. The next segment belongs to the Wild Ones as Hector takes quite a beating. Say what you will about the Rich's but they can get down to business in the ring.

It was nice to see Cooley pick up a win in the series. WOW! Look at that, Lightfoot pulls off the upset of the series, and he didn't even use his war club. I'm thinking this is going to piss Kamala off and he's going to go full savage mode. Good call on the Garvin/Fuller match. These guys are evenly matched. I'm enjoying the Hack/Perez feud. You've got a fun mid card gem going.

Duggan, Bulldogs, Rougeaus and Bravo, wow that's a lot of international talent in one ring. Savage must've been pissed, especially since he's gearing up for Hogan. Andre gives Philly a moment they'll never forget.

Things are happening in the WWF! The big news is the upcoming SNME world title bout. Hogan vs. Savage will bring in the ratings! After this week, the Rockers have to be the favorites to win the US tag titles. I like the slow face turn booking of Martel. If there is one guy who can turn a heel, it's HTM. Warrior and Brown are the hot newcomers and you can tell big plans are in store for both. The MSG card was a lot of fun. I hope you do more of these. Like Kev mentioned, you get a good feel of the pecking order here. Hogan looked strong as he awaits Savage.

Yasuto gets the win in a fun opener. I always thought Fleming had incredible talent. This is the perfect place for him to showcase that. Dolman gets an impressive submission win over Miyato. This will certainly get eyes on Dolman. Yamazaki and Nakamura put on a clinic. Nice display of sportsmanship at the end. Give credit to Anjo for not giving up and putting up a fight for Maeda. Maeda does know when to turn it up and he showed that here. I liked that finishing sequence by Takada. I'm sure Vale will live to fight another day. Ok, Vrij is for real. He's earned the fans respect after that huge win over favorite Fujiwara. Another successful show.

I like that Leo has something to sink his teeth into. Him and Finlay are going to tear it up. I think Tenryu knows he's next on Hash's list. Looks like Scotty is going to be PCW's next Playboy Rose. Yea, I think Cornette's had enough of playing by the rules. I like that you always give the mainstays occasional big main event runs. Billy Jack is focused and ready for a PCW title shot. Vancouver, Lynn gets the win as Spicoli's woes continue. Regal and brass knuckles are quite a fit. I figured Eddie would have a hard time dealing with Barr's new antics. I really think this Hall/Taker feud is going to elevate both men. Oh man, the fans got a treat with that Harts/Steamboat's masterpiece. Severn puts up a hard fight, but a healthy Windham is almost unbeatable. Kelowna, Looks like PCW has yet another serious LHW contender in Azul. DDP is working wonders with the Destruction Crew. People better take notice of Albright. The Midnights are in a groove right now. Silver King impresses but man Pillman is rock'n the main events.

AWA TV Special Brawls in St. Paul Preview show Hosted by Ken Resnick. Resnick: Hello AWA fans, tonight I'll give you the full rundown of the 2 night pay per view spectacular Brawls in St. Paul. However, before I get to that, I have a segment to show you. On the last episode of AWA Major League Wrestling, the 2 teams participating in War Games were involved in a huge melee. A lot of damage was done to the set including camera equipment. After the show concluded, we were able to get the cameras rolling. A face to face between TV Champ Brian Adias and his upcoming challenger Iceman Parsons took place. You're going to see that footage right now. Larry Nelson: Fans, with me now is the AWA TV Champ Brian Adias. Brian, you have requested a face to face with Iceman Parsons. Well, let's bring him out. Parsons walks out and stares down Adias. Adias: Take it easy Iceman. Look, you have every right to be upset with me. Parsons: You got that right! You know Brian, I knew you changed but I never thought you would resort to hitting me with that title of yours. That was low, weak and a cowardly act. Adias: I deserved that. You and I go way back and I just lost my cool. I want to make this up to you. As you know I'm sort of a big deal in Hollywood right now. They all want a piece of the A-Lister. Well, I need some help and that's where you come in. How would you like a job? You would be working full time for me. I need somebody to drive me to all my meetings and I think you would be perfect. Look, I even bought you a hat. Adias shows Parsons the hat and puts it on his head. Adias: You look great! What a fit. Parsons takes the hat off, looks at it, then throws it in Adias's face. Parsons: Brian, you're nothing but a rooty poo and I want to give you a first class whipp'n right now but after what just happened here, I'm going to hold back and win that TV title in St. Paul. Parsons turns around to leave. Adias is fuming and nails Parsons from behind with the TV title. Adias stands over Parsons and rakes his boot across Parson's face. Adias: I'll always be one step ahead of you Parsons, because I'm just better than you. (Adias puts on his sunglasses) That's why I'm the A-Lister. Adias picks up the hat, dusts it off and drops it on Parsons face. Resnick runs down the Brawls in St. Paul pay per view card. 2 nights for the price of 1.

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 9-29-88 Larry Nelson: Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of AWA Major League Wrestling. Brawls in St. Paul is only one week away and I can tell you tensions are running high in the AWA. We'll be talking a lot about that event tonight. Well, let's get to the ring. AWA World Tag Team Champs The Guerreros vs. James Beck and Michael Remar The Guerreros are on fire tonight and win the match with a double slam followed by stereo elbow drops. While the Guerreros are celebrating their win, the Rich's come out wearing ponchos and sombreros. They pull out some rattles and start shaking them and dancing. The Guerreros see this and head out towards them, but the Rich's get out of there quick. Nelson: Hector and Chavo, come on over. Looks like the Rich's are playing games. Don't worry, you'll get your chance at Brawls in St. Paul when you defend the world tag team titles against them. Hector: Those Rich boys think they're funny but in St. Paul, we'll get the last laugh when we teach them what tag team wrestling is all about. Chavo: That's right! They just made a big mistake making fun of our heritage and at Brawls in St. Paul, they're going to pay the price. There's a reason why we're world champions and the Rich's will soon find out why. Commercial Break Crusher Blackwell vs. Trent Watkins Blackwell destroys Watkins and finishes things off with a big splash. Nelson: Ok, Crusher Blackwell, you've got a big match with Rip Oliver in St. Paul. Blackwell: Big match? It's going to be me flattening that wimp! It's time to remind Oliver and all these idiots what Crusher Blackwell is all about. Last week I left Oliver laying in the ring, when I'm done with him at Brawls in St. Paul he's going to look like a pancake. Commercial Break 'Thrilling' Tom Brandi vs. Arnie Goldstein Brandi excites the fans and wins the match with a flying elbow drop from the top rope. As Nelson starts interviewing Brandi, Scott Putski comes out. Putski says he's looking forward to a competitive match with Brandi in St. Paul. Brandi agrees and they both shake hands. Commercial Break Nelson: Fans as you know, the co main event at Brawls in St. Paul will be the War Games match. (gets nervous) joining me now is one of the teams participating. Here comes Abbuda Iaukea, Tiger Jeet Singh, Kokina, Buzz Sawyer and Jumbo Tsuruta along with his manager Ray Stevens. Nelson runs away when Singh swings his sword at him. Sawyer is wildly swinging his chain. Kokina stands there looking menacing. Jumbo has his arms folded. Abbuda picks up the mic. Abbuda: Opportunity! That's what War Games is! We get to annihilate and destroy all our enemies at one time. Kerry Von Erich! You wanted to get involved and now you have no way out! Kokina will put you down and do it with ease. I want to thank you Kerry Von Erich, because you have brought out the beast in Kokina and he will be fully unleashed at War Games! Singh: Gunslingers! The Asylum is going to have fun ripping, cutting and tearing you apart in the cage! Buzz, tell us what you're going to do to our old friend Carlos Colon. Buzz: Colon! I told you our war wasn't over! I'm not done having fun and at War Games I'm going to make you squeal in pain! (maniacal laugh) Stevens: I told everyone that Jumbo Tsuruta hasn't reached his full potential. Tatsumi Fujinami was the weak link and in St. Paul, Jumbo will show the world and Tatsumi Fujinami what he's truly capable of. Abbuda: You see, there is no weakness amongst us. This won't be a match, it will be a massacre! Commercial Break Mr. Olympia vs. Todd Rooney Olympia quickly wins the match with a sleeper. Wait a minute! Gary Young and Dream Machine hit the ring. Dream charges but Olympia back drops him, then clotheslines Young down and exits the ring. The fans are cheering as Dream and Young stagger around the ring. Commercial Break "Dynamite' DJ Peterson vs. Earl Harris DJ hits the flying shoulder block from the top rope and it's all over. Nelson: DJ, you and Kevin Kelly have been at each other for 3 years now. At Brawls in St. Paul I'm sure this will finally get settled in a last man standing match. The fans boo as The Vin Man strolls out with Kevin Kelly and Coast to Coast. Boos turn to cheers as the Bruisers come out and stand with DJ. Nelson: Ok, let's all just relax and keep this civil. Vin: Come on Larbo, we're just out here for a friendly chat with our old buddy Doofus, oh I mean, DJ Peterson. These bone heads, oh wait, I mean Bruisers are making this confrontational. Things get tense. Kelly gets the mic. Kelly: (Looks at DJ) This is between you and me Peterson! 3 years! 3 years, you and me have been going toe to toe. Then a miracle happened and we became champions together, but you ruined that and it reminded me of why I hated you so much. At Brawls in St. Paul, I'm going to pound you down and trust me you won't be getting up. I'll be the last man standing and you'll be waking up the next day crying. Kelly throws the mic at DJ. DJ smiles and clocks Kelly with a right cross! Coast to Coast and the Bruisers go at it and now we have a pier six brawl! Vinnie sprints out of there. DJ and Kelly are rolling around on the ground punching each other as a commercial hits. Commercial Break The Killer Bees vs. Vic Dutro and Willie Lopez Bees are in sync tonight and win the match with a double dropkick. Nelson: You guys came into the AWA and immediately targeted Venomous. Well, at Brawls in St. Paul, the masks will all be on the line. Now are you regretting messing with Venomous? Bee 1: We don't regret anything! We're here to prove that we're the greatest masked team in wrestling! Venomous are imposters and hide under their masks like cowards! Bee 2: We wear our masks for pride, honor and tradition. Our identities have been kept a secret because of our rich and sacred tradition. In St. Paul we will be victorious and we will be the last great masked team in the AWA. The worst part will be having to expose the ugly faces of Venomous. Commercial Break Nelson: With me now is the AWA Mid American Champ Larry Zbyszko. Zbyszko: As always, let me correct you spudhead. I'm the Living Legend Larry Zbyszko. Nelson: (rolls his eyes) My apologies. Zbyszko: That's better. Now, because the competition is so lacking in the AWA, I don't even have a title defense scheduled for Brawls in St. Paul. Can you believe that? Well, wait a minute, I guess I can. Nobody wants to be embarrassed by a living legend on pay per view. Nelson: Now, hold on. I understand you do have a title defense in St. Paul, the AWA just had to work out a few things. Let me bring out the AWA C.O.O. Gerry Morrow and he'll explain everything. Brenda Britton comes out with Morrow. Britton: Beat it Nelson. Nelson shakes his head and walks away. Morrow shakes Zbyszko's hand. Britton: Hi everybody! Ok Gerry, tell the legend the great news. (Zbyszko nods at that) Morrow: Larry, Brawls in St. Paul is going to be a 2 night spectacular and it wouldn't be dat without you defending de Mid American title. I have worked out a deal with de CWA and they have agreed to send in Jeff Jarrett for de title shot. I know you two have been sparring and now is de chance to resolve all dis. What do you say Larry? Make de AWA proud. Zbyszko: I like the way you think Gerry and a living legend like myself needs to show the world what AWA wrestling is all about. That punk Jarrett has been shooting his mouth off and I would love to shut him up in St. Paul. I'm in! As for you Jarrett, welcome to Larry Land! Britton: Another successful moment for you Gerry. You've done it again. Until next time, tooooodles. Commercial Break AWA National Tag Team Champs Badd Co. w/Baby Doll vs. Carl Kellerman and Neil Jordan Tanaka hits Jordan with a karate kick as Diamond follows with a back suplex for the win. There's not really a promo because when Nelson mentions the Rose Cousins chances of winning the National tag titles in St. Paul, Baby Doll and Badd Co can't stop laughing. Commercial Break Nelson: The War Games match in St. Paul will be nothing short of violence and mayhem. With me now is the other participating team. I'm talking about Kerry Von Erich, Carlos Colon, Tatsumi Fujinami and the Gunslingers. I'm sure you heard the ominous words of your opponents earlier. Kerry: Larry, I came into the AWA and went right into the fire. The Asylum injured me but here I am still standing. I've got a fearless team right here with me and at War Games, we'll be the winners of this war! Colon: Buzz Sawyer! You and... CHAOS ensues! Kokina, Abbuda, Singh, Sawyer and Jumbo storm the scene! It's an all out fight! Fists and bodies are flying everywhere! Pandamonium! Commercial Break The place is busted up bad. Nelson is a bit shaken and takes us to final words from Tony Atlas and Nikita Koloff. Atlas is standing with Norvell Austin in front of an AWA banner. Atlas: Nikita Koloff! Kiss your title goodbye boy! I'm stronger and more powerful than you and you damn well know it! At Brawls in St. Paul, there's a freight train coming and I'm going to run you into the ground! You're looking at the next AWA world champion and there's nothing anyone can do about it, especially you Nikita! Atlas rips his shirt off and flexes. Nikita is lifting weights in his Russian Dungeon. Nikita: (military presses and yells Atlas, then slams the weight down) Tony Atlas, your time has come. You flex your muscles and tell everyone how strong you are. That will mean nothing when I hit you with the Russian sickle! In St. Paul the Russian Nightmare is coming and I'm coming for your head! The AWA world title will stay right here with me! Nikita motions the Russian sickle as the show ends.

Bert gets in a nice shot on Lawler, but Mr. Memphis proves he's no King. LOL, Bert got his point across. I like the realism by having the same Miss Kentucky angle going on across the loop. Well, I guess I was wrong with the third time's a charm theory. I am glad Riggins has finally found a solid partner. Great main event with Bass going all out heel which really helps get Michales over as a champ overcoming the odds. Oh, I meant to post this to you, so I'll just do it here. You asked about my jobber names. Most of the time I combine the first name of somebody with a last name of somebody else. Some are people I actually know LOL. Here's an example from my last show. I used the name Burt Eastwood, which is a combination of Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds

You summed everything up well as WCW heads into clash of champions. I have a feeling Flair, Arn. Luger and Sting will just be getting warmed up at the Clash. I like Dusty's positioning here. He's not in the main event spotlight but has something to sink his teeth into. Gary Hart better have a plan or he's going to be in big trouble. Reed will make his presence known. LOL, I'm hoping the Latin Connection get the match with RnR. These guys are over with me. Valiant and Rogers, talk about a charismatic program. Go for it WCW! Give the women a chance.

I always liked those rare heel vs. heel matches. Tonight, Super D out heels the gatekeeper. Keep an eye on the Buffalo Soldiers. Very creative finish in the Prichard/Manny match. The Lawmen is another team to watch in 1989. Jimmy Jam protects his squeeze but Orton takes advantage and is now on top of Block B. Worldwide, I like how the Black Scorpion submitted to the Scorpion Death Lock. Nice touch. Shaska's been looking strong on TV. Perhaps a TV title shot is in his future. Lightfoot better bring 2 War Clubs next week LOL. I like how you're booking the Starrcade Series this year. We're getting competitive matches and there's still a few names in the running. Kamala and Orton are looking good but I still think Jimmy Jam can pull it out.

Miss Kentucky is causing some waves here. I wonder if Jamie will be able to resist. Looks like Riggins has finally found the right partner. I'm also secretly hoping for a Weiss/King connection. Could be a fun heel team. I've been a big fan of the Renesto boys, add in the Assassin and we've got a top heel faction. And now there's a money making feud with Michales and Grundy. Onto the Fairgrounds, Yea, not sure Jamie will be able to resist the temptation of Miss Kentucky. Fidel gets a chance to shine. Riggens and Baxter once again get the best of Weiss and King. Give Weiss and King one more chance, third time's a charm LOL. Wild way to end the night. Blaze must be happy coming right into a main event program.

I'm not sure Burke can handle what Finlay has in store for him. Looks like Spicoli is in need of some guidance. It was only a matter of time before Cornette went back to his heelish ways. The question is will Vic follow. Bigelow and Anvil is a hoss dream match. Damn, how cool is it seeing a Bret/Adams match in 88. The Diamond Exchange and Harts will be an explosive feud to finish out the year. LA, I'm sensing Barr and Eddie are going to go their separate ways. Payne takes down Robbie in a David vs. Goliath match up. I was a big fan of Scotty's early years. Steamboat and Chono would've given me my money's worth. Southern Boys are having a serious run with the titles. These guys were a very cohesive unit. Windham having to resort to dirty tactics says a lot about the caliber of Lee. Santa Barbara The Animal continues his path of destruction. I hope to see him go up against some of the other PCW monsters. We might see Eddie going clean. Something I love about PCW is the different match ups every week. Haynes vs. Backlund is a great example. You must have a lot of fun booking. Hard night for Backlund and his "son" Yep, Cornette has his men in line now. What will Vic do? PCW can always count on Pillman in the main event slot. Props to Regal for making the most of his opportunity.

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 9-22-88 Footage from last week is show as Norvell Austin throws weightlifting chalk in Nikita Koloff's face. That's followed by Tony Atlas hitting Koloff's mid section and back with a 45 LB weight plate. Larry Nelson: Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of AWA Major League Wrestling. Tonight, we'll hear from the AWA world champion Nikita Koloff. Nikita's Brawls in St. Paul opponent Tony Atlas will be in action. Paul Orndorff will be in the ring. DJ Peterson and the Bruisers will take on Kevin Kelly and Coast to Coast. Rip Oliver teams with Mr. Olympia to take on Crusher Blackwell and Gary Young. Our main event will be Kerry Von Erich clashing with Kokina. All that and a lot more, so let's get to the ring. Synergy vs. Gordo Ganz and Robbie Rowe Synergy are in total unison tonight and win the match with a double dropkick. Synergy cut a promo on their upcoming match with the Olympians at Brawls in St. Paul. They say they're not fooled by the Olympians phony act and they're going to show them what real tag team wrestling is all about. Commercial Break The Wild Ones vs. Marv Abraham and Patrick Killian The Rich's get a lot of heat tonight as they toy with their opponents. They win the match with a double front face suplex. Nelson: Ok, you guys get a tremendous opportunity at Brawls in St. Paul. You'll be facing the Guerreros for the AWA world tag titles. Davey: Here we go again. Another family that thinks they're so special. Listen up Gordita's, nobody comes close to the Rich's when it comes to family values. Just ask those dopey clowns the Rose's. Johnny: (laughing) Hey, we're more than happy to take a break from beating up the Rose Flowers for an opportunity to beat up some banditos and win the world titles. Let the reign of the Rich's begin! Commercial Break 'Mr. Wonderful' Paul Orndorff vs. Todd Rooney As Orndorff works over his opponent, Lanny Poffo comes out and skips around the ring. Orndorff sees Poffo and points to him, then piledrives his opponent down for the win. Poffo smiles and applauds before skipping away to the back. Orndorff cuts a promo and says that the next person going down to the piledriver will be Poffo and he won't be skipping away after that. Commercial Break 'Dynamite' DJ Peterson and the Bruisers vs. 'Mr. Magnificent' Kevin Kelly and Coast to Coast w/The Vin Man We get a pretty good back and forth match. The Bruisers and Coast to Coast show off impressive teamwork while DJ and Kelly tear into each other whenever they can. Vinnie hops on the apron and is knocked down by DJ, which cause a pier six brawl. The Ref is tied up with the Bruisers and Coast to Coast as they pound away on each other. DJ knocks Kelly down with a diving shoulder tackle and covers but Vinnie comes off the top rope with a knee drop on DJ's head. Vinnie rolls Kelly on top and slides out of the ring. The Ref runs over and counts 1..2..3! BOOOOOOO! Commercial Break Footage from last week is shown with the Sheik throwing a fireball at El Canek. Nelson: Fans, you just saw that shocking footage and luckily El Canek was able to get his arm up in the nick of time. He did suffer burns to his arm but vowed he will be in St. Paul for the bounty match against the Sheik. Now, before we see the Sheik in action, we have comments from Greg Gagne, who started all this with that stupid bounty. Gagne is in a hospital rehab room. Gagne: As all you idiots can see, I'm making huge strides in my rehabilitation. Rest assured I'll be back in no time. Now! As for the man that did this to me, El Canek, well, his days are numbered. This will be the best 100,000 dollars ever spent. The Sheik is the most dangerous assassin in the world and there's no way Canek is going to survive St. Paul. Canek's going to learn a life lesson and that is nobody messes with Greg Gagne...and I mean nobody! The Sheik vs. Sam Smith Sheik just obliterates his opponent and puts him out of his misery with a double foot stomp from the 2nd rope. Just for his entertainment, Sheik pulls out a foreign object and basically carves into Smith's forehead. The red X is shown on TV over Smith's bloody face. Security rushes out to stop this. Larry Nelson quickly cuts to a commercial. Commercial Break The Rose Cousins vs. Vic Dutro and Willie Lopez Rose's look tip top tonight and win the match with the Rose Bomb. Nelson: Alright, another great win. At Brawls in St. Paul, you boys get a crack at Badd Company and the National tag titles. Now, Baby Doll thinks the Rich's took a lot out of you and this will be an easy win for Badd Company. Your response? Randy: As you just saw, the Rose's are primed and ready for this opportunity. We're coming for the National titles and we're 100%! Pat: That's right! Baby Doll and Badd Company can underestimate us all they want, but in St. Paul they're in for a rude awakening. Commercial Break 'Crippler' Rip Oliver and Mr. Olympia vs. Crusher Blackwell and 'The Fortunate One' Gary Young w/Dream Machine Hard hitting seesaw match. Throughout the match, Blackwell and Oliver have several intense slugfests. Young and Olympia pound away on each other. In the final minutes, things get heated. Dream loads his mask and gets on the apron. Olympia runs over and grabs Dream. Young runs over and nails Olympia from behind with a knee to the back. Oliver comes over, grabs Young and hits a belly to back suplex. Blackwell swings off the ropes and hits a splash on Oliver. The Ref is totally confused but makes the count. Olympia staggers over but Dream Machine runs in the ring and headbutts Olympia with his loaded mask. Young picks up Olympia and drops him with a tornado DDT. Blackwell wants in on the fun, so he gives Oliver another body splash. Young, Blackwell and Dream celebrate. Commercial Break Nelson: Fans, with me now are the Fantasics. Well, nothing has been settled between you and the Glamour Boys, but you all get another chance in St. Paul. There's a commotion as the Glamour Boys come out. Doll: Hey, it's all good here. We just want to tell the Fantastics that we're looking forward to Brawls in St. Paul and to finally prove that we're the better team. Simpson: Yea, hey, and we mean that with the upmost respect. You guys are well, fantastic but we're just a bit better. Fulton: Look guys, we love your enthusiasm but watch the sarcasm. Don't let your arrogance be mistaken for confidence. Rogers: Just remember, the Fantastics have been at the top of the mountain for a long time and we're going to show you guys why in St. Paul. The Glamour Boys nod and extend their hands. The Fantastics are leery but shake hands. Nothing happens but the tension is there. Commercial Break 'The Man of Steel' Tony Atlas w/Norvell Austin vs. Burt Eastwood Atlas breaks out all the power moves as he works over poor Eastwood. Atlas presses Eastwood over his head, holds him there before slamming him down. Atlas presses Eastwood again and snake eyes him on the top turnbuckle. Atlas puts his boot on Eastwood's chest and flexes as the Ref makes the count. Nelson: That was some friendly weightlifting contest last week. You guys might've made a colossal mistake. Just listen to these words from the AWA World Champ Nikita Koloff. Nikita's mid section is taped but he's working out and bench pressing some serious weight. He stops and sits up. Nikita: Tony Atlas! All you did was provoke a monster! All you did was give me motivation, motivation to destroy you in St. Paul. I promise you this, I will be in St. Paul, I will inflict pain on you like you've never felt in your life and I will walk out with my AWA world title! The Russian nightmare is coming and that will be your worst nightmare! Nikita ends the video with a trap pose. Back Live Nelson: What do you have to say to that? Norvell: Look at my man, Tony Atlas! Does he look scared? Tony, are you scared? Atlas: Hell no, I'm not scared! Last week was just a taste. I held way back. That was nothing. Oh no, I'm saving my freak strength for St. Paul. I'm going to pound Nikita down to nothing. I'm going to crush his body and his soul. He'll never be the same again after St. Paul. You're done Nikita! That world title belongs to me! Norvell: Larry Nelson, you're looking at the next AWA world champion and you better bet on that! Atlas flexes. Commercial Break Nelson: Fans, before we get to our main event, I've been told that AWA TV champ Brian Adias has requested a face to face with Iceman Parsons next week. Those two will meet in St. Paul so this should be interesting. Ok, main event time. Kerry Von Erich vs. Kokina The bell rings and we get a big staredown. But before anything happens, Abbuda Iaukea and Tiger Jeet Singh hit the ring and attack Kerry. Before Kokina can join in, the Gunslingers run in with fists flying. Buzz Sawyer runs out but before he gets in the ring, Carlos Colon runs out and grabs him, then slams his head on the apron. Colon's all over Sawyer but out comes Ray Stevens as he leads Jumbo Tsuruta out. Hold on! Tatsumi Fujinami comes out wearing a back brace. Fujinami chops Stevens down which is followed by an intense chopfest with Jumbo. The match might've ended in a quick DQ but the fans get to see a wild fight. Kerry and Kokina trade blows. The Gunslingers and Asylum fight to the outside. Colon and Sawyer are in the crowd. Jumbo and Fujinami continue to beat each other up. The fans can only imagine what the War Games will be like.

Piper's definatley not making any friends here, which might catch up in the long run. Only a matter of time before he gets in the ring. Mando's really making the most of his mic time. I know I'm loving his promos. I have a feeling Dusty and Simmons are going to get some serious payback at Fall Brawl. Humperdink is bringing in a monster, a vicious monster! Keep an eye on the Young Guns, they could be the sleeper team in the tournament. Horsemen get the upper hand on Sting and Luger is pissed. The heat is on for Fall Brawl. Dibiase and Williams play some mind games but Gary Hart might've been one step ahead by calling in the Latin Express. Then again, Terry Gordy trumps that. Either Gilbert's a genius or he made the biggest mistake of his life, interfering with Reed. We'll find out. Another fun week in WCW!

I'm really interested in what you do with Taylor. So much potential. Brown and Warrior are already making their marks. Oh snap, will we see the Varsity Club in the WWF??? I could see some Tito/Bulldogs-Hart Foundation matches tearing up the house shows. I have a feeling we're going to see some fireworks next week with Hogan and Savage. The Russians are uniting. Once again, the action figures really bring your shows to life. What a great touch.

Lightfoot stays alive and picks up the win by any means possible. Looks like Debeers and JYD are tearing it up on the loop. The youngsters are giving the Stud Stable some new energy. Wahoo is an old pro and picks up some much needed points. He's still got some fuel in the tank. Kamala is mowing down the competition. I know Tully is watching. Worldwide, Hack is out to prove something and he's making an example of Perez. Good story going on here. More solid series matches coming next week. I'll be tuning in for sure.

Not a bad comeback by Bert. This is getting better and better. It's cool seeing Liz in a different role than what were all used to. I'm sure she'll draw in more male viewers as well. Poor Riggens just can't seem to find the right partner. Bass is trying hard but Tony is in a different place right now. The Assassin has arrived! The great angle continues with Michaels owing Knighton. Nashville, Bruno will be sore for awhile after that beating from Tojo. Renestos continue to rack up wins. They're my favorites for Nashville's best tag team. Bobby Blaze quickly becomes a main event player as he goes toe to toe with the Assassin. Things get crazy as the Renestos get involved. Makes total sense. The Assassin and Renestos could run Music City.

I'm with Lowblow. Your presentation is incredible with both the in ring action and behind the scenes info. I really like how you're building the anticipation for the Russians. Keep up the outstanding work.

Things are really clicking in the WWF. Can HTM become the greatest IC champion of all time? Getting by Martel won't be easy. Hogan better respond to Savage soon. I like that you went with the Soul Train character. Looks like bad news for the WWF because Bad News Brown has arrived! It's a big deal if Jess and Vince are already calling him a world title contender. Warrior fits in so well here. Can't wait to see what you do with him. So many teams could walk away with the US titles. I can't call it.

Wel, if WCW wants to be the premier promotion, signing Piper is the way to go. Piper on the mic will always get him over. It's funny that he irked both the faces and heels. LOL, only Piper. The Nation seems to have smoothed things over with Reed...for now. The tag teams are all coming in for a chance at the US titles. Valiant and Piper was hilarious. When in doubt, just cheer them on. With everything going on, Mando might've stolen the show with his promo. Funny stuff. You're doing a great job keeping things tense with the Horsemen, Sting and Luger. Sometimes all you need are good promos. That hair cream must work wonders. Poor Dr. Diobolico. The main event was built up so well throughout the program. Gilbert brings in a serious ringer with Nakao. Missy and Gilbert really pull one over on Zenk. It's amazing how much is going on in WCW. You have something for everyone.
