A Candyman win always makes the fans smile. Tough Guy Inc gets the tainted win thanks to Sherri and Gigolo. SPC will be on the hunt! Nice to see The British Magician racking up wins. Your detail to our game's history continues to amaze me. Nice throwback to the Violent Gentlemen. I can't wait for the War of Attrition match. When you're wrestling SSM, you better be one hundred percent focused. Chic found that out the hard way. Damn, that was some great teamwork by the Andersons. Huge win! Worldwide, The Commandos could make money on their visual alone. Slick and Iceman is still fun to watch. What a pair. WOW! I'm looking forward to SSM defending the TV title against Abby. Grapplers picked a solid partner in Mega Man. The Radiance/SPC feud has been built up so well. They deserve that prime match at Christmas Chaos. Whoever wins the battle royal is getting a pretty sweet Christmas gift.

Damn! Dr. D with the Natural Disasters! I agree with Schultz, destruction is right!

I like the table talk format. Things get heated quick as Missing Link attacks Graham. Great way to get a feud going. Graham's name goes a long way in Florida, and like you said, Link is a very reliable hand. More heat as Burke goes right into antagonizing TNT. A slap always spells money. After watching Burke being a long time a babyface leader in PCW, it'll be interesting watching him heel it up in Florida. You've done an outstanding job setting the tone.

Dallas gets things going with a submission win over Chase. I think KC thought she could take a banged up Medusa. She thought wrong. Robin and Peggy Lee go head to head in a competitive match. Robin should be considered for a title shot. Thanks to Malia, Dawn puts Apache down. Combs beats Rhonda in one of the most creative finishes I've seen. Is Combs ready for Richter?

The bunkhouse match sets the tone. Like you said, Casey's on the roll of a lifetime. This is one of the reasons I love this game. Seeing guys get a big push who might not have gotten it IRL. Poor Scott Hall felt Kamala's wrath tonight. Orton and Slater show they're still contenders. Love this team. Rockers look impressive in that win over Badd Co. Damn! Steamboat does the stretcher job. That was brutal. After that win over Spivey, Race defiantly still has fuel in the tank. Road Warriors and RnR tear it up. Rockers were probably regretting coming out. After a hard fought victory, the Nasty Boys decide to send a strong message to the champs. I knew it was only a matter of time before Savage came after Jimmy Jam. Bam Bam retains! After all that craziness, Savage and Poffo end the night with one of the best fights ever! Great write up! The story was told so well. Savage puts a stamp on little brother to end the night on a high note. OOOOHHHH YEA!

It's all on the line tonight! 2 DDTs to open the show! Not a bad way to get things going. Loved the 6 man tag. Southern style at its best. Everybody shines but Prichard walks out a superstar. Tully's tactics backfires as Duggan quickly takes advantage to retain. This version of Duggan is the best. JYD is the man! That finish on Vader proves it. I guess I can't blame Dibiase. Pulling out the black glove is the only way to put Garvin away. Steiner and Herc defeating Robley's monsters prove they're credible champs. Liked the detail involving Goliath's size. Wahoo and Uncle Ivan just made Dr. Death's hit list! On the flip side, I'm looking forward more Luger and Woman in 88. It all comes down to this. Watts vs. Ladd! Winner take all! The Lumberjack stip worked so well. Brawling everywhere! Who would've thought Tully would be the key factor. Ladd takes advantage and finishes Watts off. I have to admit, I was pulling for Ladd. I wonder how Ladd will respond to Tully? What does the future hold for the roster? Can't wait for 88! Your storytelling this year was amazing!

Welcome! Roop and Colt bring immediate credibility to Florida. They'll make a great commentating team. Throw in Poffo as President and Florida's already buzzing. Smart move bringing in Humperdink and Sullivan. They're already over and this gives the fans a lot to talk about. Can't wait to see the contenders for the titles.

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 12-16-87 Lance Russell: Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of AWA Major League Wrestling. We're only two weeks away from the biggest AWA event of the year, SuperClash 2. And don't forget, the night before, right here on TV, will be the Clash Countdown special. However, before we get there, we have a tremendous show lined up tonight. Listen to this main event, 10-Man tag team match. On one side will be Steve Keirn, Tom Zenk, Scott Putski and the Glamour Boys. Their opponents will be Austin Idol, Chris Adams, Phil Hickerson and the Original Midnight Express. Ok fans, joining me now is none other than Jerry 'The King' Lawler. Huge pop as Lawler comes out wearing a polo shirt and jeans. Lance: Jerry, at SuperClash 2, you will face Bad News Brown in a street fight for the AWA world title. After what happened last week, I think Brown may have underestimated your street fighting skills. Lawler: You know, Bad News Brown loves to talk and talk about how tough he is. He went on and on about how he grew up street fighting and how I was clueless on what I was getting myself into. Well Brown, I got one up on you last week and... Booooos as Bad News Brown runs out in jeans and a T-Shirt! Lawler see this and runs towards Brown. Both men meet with fists flying and have a furious exchange. The fans are going nuts as Brown and Lawler tear into each other. They fight over the guardrail and into the crowd. They fight back towards the ring and brawl around it and up the aisle and into the commercial break. Commercial Break El Canek vs. Roger Florin Canek came back a couple weeks ago with a vengeance when he put Gama Singh out of commission. He gets his long awaited rematch with Mike George at SuperClash for the International title. He looks tuned up and ready as he wins the match with an impressive Gorilla Press Drop! As Canek celebrates with the fans, Greg Gagne's buddy, Bruce Hart heads to the ring with a lead pipe. However, he's tackled from behind by Mando Guererro! Mando picks up the pipe but Bruce staggers up and quickly back pedals to the back. Canek gives Mando a wave and Mando returns with a nod. Commercial Break AWA National Tag Team Champs The Technicians vs. Sam Smith and Rick Jurgens Rheingans hits a reverse neckbreaker on Smith and tags in Fleming, who finishes things off with a rear naked chokehold. Resnick: Impressive win Technicians. As you know, at the Clash Countdown Special, there will be a tag team battle royal. The winning team will each receive a brand new Cadillac as well as a shot at your National Tag Titles, the next night at SuperClash. That only gives you one day to prepare for your opponents. Fleming: That might sound like it puts us at a slight disadvantage. However, Brad and I are in synch and focused. Trust us Ken, we'll be ready. Rheingans: Exactly right! We've been defending these titles night after night for the past 4 months and we'll be ready for any team at SuperClash! Commercial Break The Dream Machine vs. Carl Kellerman Dream shuffles his feet and knocks Carl down with a big right hook. Dream swings off the ropes and hits a jumping elbow drop for the win. Resnick: Dream Machine, it's you and Ni... Dream: Zip it Resnick! Now I know Nikita Koloff is here and I'm asking him to come out and talk to me man to man. Don't worry Koloff, I'm not going to hurt you. Just get out here. Cheers as Nikita comes out with his hands on his waist. Nikita walks over. Dream: Well, well, well, you do have some guts babay. Now listen up. Just so there's no misunderstanding. I run things here in the AWA and you're going to find that out at SuperClash. But before we get there, I want you to think about this. Dream slaps Nikita and then sprints away! Nikita processes this, then turns back around. Nikita is fuming. Dream is up the aisle laughing at Nikita. Then goes behind the curtain. Nikita: (Yelling and stomping around) Dream Machine! I not only beat you at SuperClash, but Nikita take your head off with Russian Sickle! Commercial Break Earthquake Ferris w/The Vin Man vs. Trent Watkins Vinnie applauds as Ferris hits a powerslam, then picks up Watkins and executes the Ferris Wheel for the win. Resnick: Vinnie, at the Clash Countdown, your man Ferris goes one on one with DJ Peterson. Vinnie: Oh Rezzy, you know DJ and I go way back. So it's going to be a lot of fun watching my main man Ferris pummel that joke Peterson. Peterson! You're going down, down, down! And you aint getting up! Yea! Commercial Break We see Carlos Colon (wearing an eye patch) at home surrounded by his family. Colon: It was a long hard road and now it's time. Abudda Iaukea! You have your father's evil and wickedness. You used all of that to take me out. You won that battle. However, this war isn't over. I'm back and coming for you at SuperClash! I'm coming to stop your wickedness and eradicate your father! Commercial Break AWA World Tag Team Champs The Bruise Brothers (Atlas and Cameron) w/Snowman vs. Teddy Clark and Ray Glader Snowman pumps his fists as Atlas and Cameron swing Clark to the ropes and put him down with double axehandles to the head! Resnick: At SuperClash the Bruise Brothers will defend the AWA world tag titles against the Windy City tag champs, the Road Warriors. This will no doubt be a colossal collision. Before I talk with the AWA champs, let's hear some prerecorded comments from the Road Warriors. The Road Warriors are standing there in tank tops, with the WCPW tag straps on their shoulders. Animal: Bruise Brothers! It's real simple! We're coming to SuperClash to once again prove our dominance and win the AWA world tag team titles! Tell em Hawk! Hawk: You guys think you're the bullies of the block do ya? WELL! We love putting bullies in their place because we snack on danger and dine on death and dead men don't get paid! OOOOHHHH what a rush! Resnick: Wow! Ok, your response. Atlas: What about it? Do you see us shaking? Do we look rattled? Do you for one second think they intimidate us? Cameron: Because those clowns don't! Atlas: Hell no they don't! At SuperClash, Larry and I are going to out muscle and out wrestle those painted freaks. Our man Snowman is going to be there to watch our backs. Snowman: Try any funny business Road Warriors and I'll damn sure put a stop to it! Atlas: Your AWA world tag team champs the Bruise Brothers are united and stronger than ever. Road Warriors! We're going to send you back to Chicago with your tails between your legs! Bruise Brothers hold up their titles and flex. Commercial Break Resnick: Ok, with me now is the AWA TV champ Nick Busick. Nick, you and Billy Jack Strong have been involved in a powerhouse of a feud for the past few months. At SuperClash, this should finally conclude in a steel cage match. I also want to point out that if you're successful that night, then it will mark one full year as TV champ. That's incredible. Busick: Ken, it's been my pleasure to represent the AWA on television. I can't believe I've held this title for almost a year. Right now I need to focus on the task at hand and that's Billy Jack Strong. Right on cue, Billy Jack Strong comes out clapping. Resnick: Just relax boys. Please. Billy: Hey, I'm just out here congratulating Mr. Busick here. Almost a year as TV champion. Man, that's incredible. (Billy stops clapping) Get real Busick! Your reign ends at SuperClash! I have your number and you know it! In a cage, you can't take the easy way out. This scares you! You won't be able to deal with this. Billy pushes Nick. Nick pushes Billy. They're about to explode but Security was well prepared and came out quick. Busick and Strong push off Security and pound away on each other. More Security swarms as a commercial hits. Commercial Break The camera zooms in on the glowing pink 'Beauty Shop' sign, then pans down to Brenda Britton. Britton: Hi everybody! Wow! It feels so good to be back. The place that gets all the hottest scoops, the Beauty Shop. I'm beyond excited tonight. At SuperClash 2, numerous sponsors of the AWA chipped in to sanction the million dollar match. 2 names were drawn in the lottery. One was that slob Crusher Fatwell. The real news was the other name drawn. The one and only Gerry Morrow. Priceless Alumni Carl Fergie and George Wells returned to get Morrow ready. Can we just take a moment and think how awesome that was. The band came back together. So cool! At SuperClash, Gerry Morrow will put a cap the greatest comeback story in wrestling history. No wait! World history! I can't wait! Ok, let's get to the good stuff. Carl Fergie and George Wells, come on out. Fergie and Wells come out wearing sweatsuits. Britton: You guys are the best! True friends indeed. I called and you didn't hesitate for a second. You came and got Gerry back on track. Fergie: Gerry's been my closest friend. Wild horses couldn't keep me away from helping. I can tell you that Gerry is better than ever. That glob Fatwell will be blown up in under a minute. This will be the easiest million dollars Gerry ever made. Wells: Gerry made me a champion. We wined and dined and had nothing but a great time. Brenda, you gave me the opportunity to pay him back. I will be forever in debt to you. Listen up Fat Man Fatwell! You don't deserve this! Gerry's going to embarrass and humiliate you. Just give up now and save face. Britton: I couldn't agree more! NOW! The moment we've all been waiting for. Please stand up and show respect for the great Champagne Gerry Morrow! Morrow comes out wearing a white suit, fedora hat and sunglasses. He takes a moment to let this all sink in. He hugs Fergie and Wells, then grabs Brenda's hands and kisses it. Brenda turns him around, smiles and nods in approval. Britton: It's been far too long. Talk to us Gerry. Morrow: (smiles bright) Ah Brenda, so very good to be back. Before I forget, after I win de million dollars at de SuperClash, you are invited to de post victory New Year's Eve celebration with myself and Priceless. Britton: (jumps up and down) YES! I can't wait! Morrow: HAHAHA! Very good. Thanks to de 3 of you, I have been reborn. I have never felt better. You all know I hit rock bottom. I was lost but then I was found. I will be a millionaire again and nothing will stop me. Dat obese Fatwell has no business in dis match. He is lower than me. Not in my class. Out of my league. I will quickly dispose of him and then we will have de party of a lifetime. Brenda, Carl, George, you made me whole again. I will repay dat debt. After SuperClash, de world is ours! Britton: That was the best speech ever! 1987 is going to end on the highest of high notes. Until SuperClash, toooodles! Morrow, Brenda, Fergie and Wells have a group hug. Commercial Break Crusher Blackwell vs. Arnie Goldstein, Todd Rooney and Harold Bannister It's obvious Blackwell is sending a message tonight by taking on 3 men. Blackwell slams Rooney, then slams Bannister on top of Rooney, then slams Goldstein on top of both men. Blackwell swings off the ropes and splashes all 3 men for the pin! Resnick: Blackwell, I know you saw the Beauty Shop. By what I just saw, you're looking to become a millionaire. The fans chant "Future Millionaire' as Blackwell pumps his fists to them. Blackwell: I've heard all the comments from Britton, Priceless and Morrow. They've cracked jokes and called me names. Big deal. Morrow! I want you to hear me and hear me good. There's no way you're going to keep me from that million dollars. You just saw me beat 3 men. That was a message for you and your goons. I'll go through all of you if I have to. Morrow! You say you're above me? Well, at SuperClash I'll be above you when I put you through the mat and collect the million! More "Future Millionaire" chants Commercial Break Ken Resnick is joined by Al Perez on commentary for the main event "The Fabulous One" Steve Keirn, 'Z-Man' Tom Zenk, Scott "Powerhouse" Putski and The Glamour Boys vs. "The Universal Heartthrob" Austin Idol, "Gentleman" Chris Adams, Phil Hickerson and The Original Midnight Express w/Norvell Austin and Baby Doll What could go wrong here? Before the bell rings, Larry Zbyszko comes out and starts antagonizing Al Perez. Larry slaps the headset off Perez's head. Perez jumps over the table and tackles Larry! In the ring it's total chaos! Idol and Keirn are beating each other up. Zenk and Adams fight on the outside. Baby Doll jumps on Zenk's back. Hickerson and Putski are in the corner trading blows. The Glamour Boys and Midnight's are trading moves in the ring. The match never officially begins. However, the cameras keep rolling and the viewers get a good few minutes of craziness. Norvell sneaks a hit on Putski, which allows Hickerson to clothesline Putski down. Glamour Boys go for stereo Thesz presses but the Midnight's catch them and double hot shot them on the top ropes. On the outside, Zenk shakes Baby Doll off him. Adams charges but Zenk back drops him on the concrete! Idol swings Keirn towards the steel post but Keirn reverses it and swings Idol down into the ring steps! Perez and Zbyszko have been hammering away on each other with fists and that image ends the show. Next week will be the SuperClash 2 Preview Saturday, December 31st From the St. Paul Civic Center Live on pay per view Singing the National Anthem- Joan Jett See Previous post for official card

McGee's momentum continues with a battle royal win and US title shot. Pride and Lightfoot getting in heat on the loop. Not even Slinker's martial arts skills could stop Haystacks. The British Magician gets a strong win over that Rotten Ron Starr. Bees look to get back into contention. It took two bionic elbows but Dusty is able to put down Haku. I think the Trinity is going to have a monstrous 6 man title run. Hansen puts a stop to Mega Man's win streak. No shame in that.

I agree, the tag division better keep an eye on the Commandos. I figured Starr would do well here and he's off to a solid start by defeating the credible Ranger Ross. Since losing the TV title, Mega Man has been on a mega roll. The Pride/Lightfoot feud has been a gem. Really enjoying it. Parsons has a strong showing but SSM hits his finisher and it's all over. Boyd takes one for the team and it pays off for Debeers. Worldwide, First the Iceman and now the Golden Boy. LOL, SSM is in for a variety of charismatic challengers. Pride and Lightfoot get a much deserved gimmick match at Chaos! I'm so there! New Breed get another crack at the US titles. This could be their big moment. "War of Attrition" only Debeers LOL. Christmas Chaos is going to end the NWA's year on a high note.

These vignettes are way to cool! Genius idea! Great way to introduce new talent as well as keeping us posted on the PCW vets. 1988 is going to rock!

I'm liking Combs as TV champ. Classy lady. Kai is able to outfight a game Luna. Giant Slayers and Glamour Girls are getting wild and crazy tonight. These backstage brawls are intense. Things calm down as West defeats Trudy in a clean match. Poor Martin, didn't have much of a chance. Richter gets down and dirty tonight with a sneak attack beating on Medusa. Props to Medusa for competing but she played right into Richter's hands. Richter wins this round but she better be on high alert. BTW, Pat Patterson's appearance really elevated this angle. Added to the seriousness of the situation.

AWA picks up Brian Adias and Ricky Rice.

Huge card at the Omni. Can't go wrong with Candy Man opening the night. Ron Starr should be a good fit here. The New Breed is looking to have a big 1988. Mega Man is surely getting himself back in title contention. Islanders is another team to watch. Pairing them with Ox is still so damn menacing. You know you're going to get your money's worth when Brody vs. Abby is booked. Stud Stable vs. Grapplers is the perfect southern tag team clash. Flair ends the night with a nice title defense over Ole. Onto Greenville, Everybody's favorite Enhancement talent George South gets the win. Whoa, I wonder who that mystery man was? Looks like Boone has some reinforcement. Cocoa gets the win but Adonis puts his partner to sleep. Fernandez shows he's still a serious threat by putting Boyd away. Damn! Commonwealth and Sheepherders end the night on a violent note. Red hot heat! Two well put together cards.

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 12-9-87 Lance Russell: Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of AWA Major League Wrestling. Fans, SuperClash 2 is right around the corner and we've got a lot going on tonight. All the top tag teams will be tuning up for the Clash Countdown battle royal. Matt Borne and Rip Oliver take on the Honor Roll. The British Bombers will face the Quebec Coalition. A new version of Venomous will be in action, more on that later. AWA International champ Mike George will be in action, as will Chris Adams, Steve Keirn, Abudda Iaukea, The Glamour Boys and Scott Putski in 6 man action, and Nikita Koloff. And, we'll hear from the AWA world champion Bad News Brown. Let's get to the ring. Nikita Koloff vs. Trent Watkins The fans are chanting "Ni-ki-ta, Ni-ki-ta, Ni-ki-ta" as Koloff puts his opponent down with the Russian Sickle. Resnick: Nikita, I'm sure you heard the words of Dream Machine last week. Koloff: I did and I promise, Dream Machine no send Nikita anywhere. At SuperClash 2, I'm going to put that big mouth down with my Russian Sickle! That will shut him up! Nikita does his trap pose. Commercial Break The British Bombers vs. The Quebec Coalition w/Frenchy Martin These teams go at it with serious intensity. Frenchy has his guys in top forum while the Bombers are on their A game. All 4 men end up going at it and all 4 men end up on the outside brawling as the Ref counts both teams out. If either of these teams want to win the battle royal, they're going to have to stay in the ring. Commercial Break "The Fabulous One" Steve Keirn vs. Lloyd Brougham Keirn executes the reverse DDT and it's all over. Resnick: (smiling) Steve, you really pulled one over on Austin Idol last week. Things are in your favor heading into SuperClash 2. Keirn: Idol's not the only one with tricks up his sleeve. He wants to play games? Well I can play games too. At SuperClash, it's game over for Austin Idol! Commercial Break Footage from last week is shown as El Canek returns and takes Gama Singh out with a lead pie, then presses him over his head and tosses him out on the concrete. Resnick: After what happened last week, Gama Singh wont be coming back to the AWA anytime soon. I understand Scorpio was so upset at what happened to his mentor that he's left as well. Cobra didn't waste any time and has found a new Venomous partner known as Cat. Let's take a look. Venomous (Cobra and Cat) vs. Todd Rooney and Ray Glader The chemistry is defiantly there and the new Venomous are gelling well. What really puts them over is their finish. Cobra executes a Superplex as Kat follows with a moonsault! WOW! Next stop, the tag team battle royal. Commercial Break "Gentleman" Chris Adams w/Baby Doll vs. Chet Wagner Adams arrogantly toys with his opponent before putting him down and out with the Superkick! The fans go wild as TOM ZENK springboards into the ring! Baby Doll is yelling at Adams to turn around. Adams does and Zenk dropkicks him down. Zenk grabs Adams, swings him to the ropes and back drops him. Adams staggers up as Zenk gets ready to nail him with the superkick but Adams frantically falls back as Baby Doll helps get him out of the ring. The fans are up and cheering as Zenk pumps his fists. Those two have a date at SuperClash 2. Commercial Break AWA International Champ "Marvelous" Mike George w/Greg Gagne vs. Carl Kellerman Gagne keeps nervously looking over his shoulder. George finishes things off with the Russian Leg Sweep. Gagne quickly gets in the ring and hands George the title. George pats him on the back and leads him to ringside. Resnick: Greg Gagne, it looked to me like you were a bit nervous, perhaps due to the return of El Canek? Gagne: (Stuttering) George: Greg, just relax. That masked buffoon is the one who should be scared. I beat him for this title and I'm going to beat him again at SuperClash. Why? Because I'm the champ and I'm marvelous. Gagne: (nods) You're right Mike. Gama was caught off guard and I wish him the best in future endeavors. Right now all my focus is on Mike George and the International title. We're making the AWA great again and we're not going to let a freak like Canek ruin it. Stuff it Resnerd! Commercial Break Def Leppard's Rock Rock Til You Drop plays to a video of the WCPW Champs Road Warriors and AWA World Champs the Bruise Brothers destroying opponents. This Colossal Collision happens at SuperClash 2! We then go to highlights from Japan as Tatsumi Fujinami wins a match with his Dragon Suplex. That's followed by Jumbo Tsuruta winning a match with a sheerdrop powerbomb! Japan's most wanted match happens at SuperClash 2! Commercial Break Abudda Iaukea w/Curtis Iaukea vs. Harold Bannister Abudda destroys his opponent before putting him out of his misery with the camel clutch. Curtis comes in and hammers away on poor Harold with his kendo stick. Resnick: Curtis, no doubt your influence is seen in your son's actions. He's been ruthless. However, Carlos Colon is training hard and is almost at full strength. Curtis: Colon! You fool! My son gave you just a taste of what he's capable of. Just a taste! That eye patch you wear will be a constant reminder. At Superclash, all of Abudda's wickedness and evil will be unleashed on you! Abudda: Carlos, you say your fighting for your soul? Too late! At SuperClash, your soul belongs to me! Commercial Break The Glamour Boys and Scott "Powerhouse" Putski vs. Sam Smith, Rick Caulk and Jason Higgens Glamour Boys hit a double dropkick on Higgens. Putski tags in and finishes things off with the Polish Hammer. As they celebrate, The Original Midnight Express, Norvell Austin and Phil Hickerson hit the ring with fists flying! Everybody fights for a minute until the commercial hits. Commercial Break Brenda Britton appears on screen. Britton: I can hardly contain myself! In just 3 short weeks, Gerry Morrow will complete the comeback story of the century and once again be a millionaire. As you all know, next week he will be my very, very, very special guest on the Beauty Shop. But, right now, to tie you all over, check out this training video. Jerry Fatwell! You better take a real good look at this. Toooodles! Rocky's theme 'Gonna Fly Now' plays as Carl Fergie and George Wells cheer Morrow on as he runs up and down bleachers. The scenes cut from Morrow lifting weights, sparring in the ring and working the bag. The last scene is Wells and Fergie holding Gerry's arms high in victory at the top of some building's steps. Commercial Break Footage from last week is shown as Larry Zbyszko hits Al Perez with nun chucks to get the win in a 6 man tag match. "The Latin Heartthrob" Al Perez vs. Vic Dutro Perez is aggressive tonight and wins the match with the helicopter drop! Resnick: Al, it's you and Larry Zbyszko in a taped fist match at SuperClash 2. I know his nun chucks have caused you a lot of pain and problems. Perez: Larry knows he can't get the job done with his fists so he's doing everything he can to take me out before our fight. Not going to happen! At SuperClash I'm going to unleash all my frustrations and agony on your head Larry! You're going to be battered, bloody and bruised! Commercial Break Matt Borne and Rip Oliver vs. The Honor Roll w/Professor Bill Ash This one's a hard hitting affair. The Honor Roll are in synch and score several near falls. The closest being a double boot to the face on Oliver but luckily Borne broke it. Oliver and Borne make a big time comeback. Oliver takes Kelly down with a spear, which allows Borne to hit the Bomb's Away on Morgan for the win. Professor Ash shakes his head and lowers it in shame. Borne and Oliver have to be considered favorites to win the battle royal. Commercial Break Resnick: Ok, at SuperClash 2, the AWA world title will be on the line in a Street Fight. Coming out now is the AWA world champion, Bad News Brown. Brown is all money as he comes out in a suit, buttons down, wearing a gold chain. He's got the title on his shoulder. Resnick: Bad News Brown, after that sneak attack beating you gave Jerry Lawler a couple weeks ago, the odds are in your favor going into SuperClash 2. Brown: Sneak attack? You really are an idiot Resnick! In a street fight there are no rules! I was being nice and gave Lawler a heads up on what he's in for. Give him time to bow out because that's what cowards do. Lawler! You're the biggest chump.... WHAM! From behind, Jerry Lawler hits Brown over his head with a trashcan! Lawler picks up Brown and swings him into the steel post, then hurls him in the ring. Lawler pounds away on Brown's head, hoists him up and piledrives him down! Lawler puts his boot on Brown's chest and holds his fist high.

Excellent follow up to Starrcade. The Buffalo Soldiers is such a creative name for Brickhouse and Ross. AOD is on a path of destruction. Just ask SBS. I'm enjoying the Lightfoot/Pride feud. More heat is added tonight. The Nature Boys have a battle of words and now we're getting a rematch with big stipulations. I'm glad we're getting one more match. WOW! SSM arrives and beats Boyd for the TV title! What a debut! I'm sure Street is at the top of Debeers list. The 8 man tag is a main event anywhere in the world! Landel gets the tainted win and gets the momentum heading into the big Christmas Chaos rematch. Great stuff! Worldwide, My favorites, SPC and Soul Man get in some wins. Abby and Ox remind everybody how brutal they can get. When a guy like Boone falls over the top rope, there's no way he's going to beat the count. Parsons gets the TV title match. Christmas Chaos has some hard hitting and hate filled matches signed. Can't wait! The NWA is ending 87 with a bang, which means 88 will start with some fire.

It was bound to happen. Ted Turner finally gets involved and comes up with the best solution. Battle of the Bayou is beyond stacked and will be a ratings bonanza for Turner. This is it! Ladd vs. Watts, one more time with everything on the line. Doesn't get any better. This story has been amazing and I'm sure the blow off will be an epic one.

Nice touch showing the Star Girls banged up in the post match interview. In my opinion, this did an excellent job putting the Monsters over even more. Dallas getting a submission win over Caranza on a Spectacular is a big deal. I was happy that the battle royal came down to the vets Combs and Kai. Glad Combs won the TV title and I hope she gets some serious momentum going. She's the type that can always slip into the main event scene at any given time. We get a nice cool down match as Misty beats Morgan in a friendly encounter. Things get rock'n and roll'n as Moretti and Richter tear into each other. Richter has a strong finish and outlasts Moretti to retain. After that, Richter is probably thinking world title match. Wow! Nellie has an incredible showing by using her finisher 3 times to put down Devine. I know Nellie doesn't think she's where she should be, but that win definatley gets her close. Peterson puts in a good effort but Medusa is in a league of her own right now. Good sportsmanship shown by the champ to end the night on a classy note. 2 thumbs up!

AWA sends Scorpio to Mid South AWA picks up Brady Boone

AWA releases Gama Singh. AWA picks up Mr. Olympia (Jerry Stubbs)

Damn! There's no way I would miss that 8 man tag match!

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 12-2-87 Lance Russell: Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of AWA Major League Wrestling. Tonight you'll see Polynesian Power take on the Teamsters. Mando Guerrero clashes with Gama Singh. TV champ Nick Busick teams with DJ Peterson and Al Perez to take on Billy Jack Strong, Earthquake Ferris and Larry Zbyszko. Plus, Austin Idol, Dream Machine, Jerry Blackwell. And we'll be hearing from Jerry Lawler as well as AWA world champion Bad News Brown. Well, let's get to the ring. "The Universal Heartthrob" Austin Idol vs. The Masked Gladiator Idol arrogantly toys with the masked man, then pounds away on him and hurls him out of the ring. Idol starts strutting around and flexing. On the outside, another masked man comes out from under the ring and slides into the ring. Idol walks over to pick the masked man up. The masked man quickly cradles him 1..2..3!! The fans go wild. A livid Idol hops up and goes after the masked man but gets back dropped. Idol staggers up and gets dropkicked out of the ring. The masked man soaks it all in, then takes off his mask. It's STEVE KEIRN! The fans are loving it. Idol is red faced and pissed as Keirn smiles and waves to him. Commercial Break Phil Hickerson w/Norvell Austin vs. Arnie Goldstein Hickerson demolishes his opponent and finishes things off with a Gourdbuster. Norvell snatches the mic from Resnick. Norvell: Phil has something to say, so take a walk Resnick! Phil: Glamour Gals! You've been a pain in my life far too long! And then that Punkski got involved. At SuperClash, me and the Midnight Express are going to put an end to all of you once and for all! Elimination match. That means we're going to take each one of you down, one by one! You're all done! All of you! Finally! Done! Commercial Break The Dream Machine vs. Trent Watkins Dream Machine does a little shuffle as he punches away on Watkins. Dream slams him down, swings off the ropes and hits a jumping elbow drop for the win. Resnick: Dream Machine, you have your hands full at SuperClash 2 with Nikita Koloff. Are you regretting all this? Dream: (pokes Resnick's chest) Watch your mouth! Why would I be regretting any of this? I'm not scared of anything, especially a no good red like Koloff! He needs to know who's boss around here babay, and at SuperClash, he's going to find out the hard way. Commercial Break Mando Guerrero vs. Gama Singh Gama stands in the ring as Mando makes his way down the aisle. From behind, Mando is attacked by Bruce Hart. Mando fights back. The two keeping fighting up the aisle and into the back. Gama demands the Ref declares him the winner. Gama starts yelling at the Ref. The fans go nuts as EL CANEK sprints into the ring with a lead pipe! Gama turns around as Canek levels him with the pipe! Gama is knocked out. Canek presses a lifeless Gama over his head and throws him to the outside. Gama is lying motionless on the concrete. Medics rush out to attend to him. Canek looks in the camera and holds up one finger, then motions around his waist. Mike George and Greg Gagne must be freaking out right now. Commercial Break Resnick: My goodness! El Canek is back with a vengeance! Gama Singh has been stretchered out of here. If you remember, back at Collision at the Coliseum in September, Gama Singh hit El Canek with a lead pipe to help Mike George win the International title. It looks like El Canek is back with revenge on his mind. No doubt a strong message sent to champ Mike George and Greg Gagne as SuperClash gets closer. Speaking of SuperClash, another grudge match will pit Carlos Colon against the son of Curtis Iaukea, Abudda. Let's go to the homeland of Carlos Colon. Colon is wearing an eye patch as he lifts weights. Colon stops and towels off. Colon: Curtis! Abudda! I hope you're watching. You put me down but I'm not out. At SuperClash, I'm fighting for redemption, I'm fighting for revenge and I'm fighting for my soul. Most of all, I'm fighting to rid the AWA of the evil you're spreading. Commercial Break Polynesian Power vs. The Teamsters Both teams are gearing up for the upcoming Clash Countdown Tag Team Battle Royal. Teamsters come out swinging and take it to Polynesian Power. They look crisp, aggressive and show off impressive teamwork. They almost put Snuka down with a double gut buster. Polynesian Power come back hard as Kokina mows over both Teamsters and looks like a beast. Kokina hits a Samoan Drop on Veasey and tags in Snuka. Snuka goes to the top rope. Huber runs over but Kokina clotheslines him down. Snuka hits the Superfly Splash and it's all over. Polynesian Power have some serious momentum heading into the battle royal. Commercial Break Brenda Britton is once again standing in front of a gym door. Carl Fergie and George Wells walk out in sweatsuits to join her. Britton: As you can see, I'm standing here with the Priceless alumni, who have taken a break to give us another update on the soon to be millionaire again, Gerry Morrow. How's he looking guys? Wells: Better than ever Brenda. That Fatwell should just forfeit right now. He has no idea what he's in for. Fergie: Yea, Gerry's going to wrestle circles around Fatso. Just give it up Fatwell. You can't hang. Britton: I know! Jeez, I mean what would that Fat Hillbilly do with a million dollars? Get a shave and haircut? They all laugh Britton: Before you guys go, I want to make this earth shattering announcement. In 2 weeks the Beauty Shop will return, and my very, very, very special guest will be none other than Gerry Morrow! And he's going to show all of you peons that he's more than prepared for SuperClash. Alright guys, let's get back to Gerry. Wells and Fergie walk in as Brenda follows and quickly slams the door behind her. Commercial Break Crusher Blackwell vs. Todd Rooney The "Future Millionaire" chants are louder than ever as Blackwell hits the big splash for the win. Resnick: (Smiling) Listening to these fans, they really want to see you win the million dollar match at SuperClash. Now, I know you've seen and heard the comments from Brenda Britton and the Priceless alumni. Blackwell: First I want to thank all these great fans for their tremendous support. I assure all of you I'm going to win that money. A million dollars Ken! Unbelievable! Now, as for Britton and the goons, there is no way in hell they're going to stand in my way of a million dollars. Not with these fans on my side. Morrow! You were once a millionaire and who knows, you might be one again, but it won't be at SuperClash! You can bet on that! Commercial Break 'Shout It Out loud' by Kiss plays as a montage of Bruise Brothers and Road Warriors highlights are shown. Awesome hype with both teams destroying opponents.

Commercial Break AWA TV Champ Nick Busick, "Dynamite" DJ Peterson and "The Latin Heartthrob" Al Perez vs. Billy Jack Strong, Earthquake Ferris and "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko w/The Vin Man This one's hard hitting and full of hate. Busick and Strong have several heated exchanges. DJ and Ferris trade mighty blows. Larry tries to avoid Perez as much as he can but eventually Perez gets his hands on him and pounds away on his head. Eventually everybody is in there fighting. Busick and Strong once again, end up fighting all over on the outside. As DJ gets the upper hand on Ferris, Vinnie hops on the apron, but DJ grabs him, hoists him up and throws him into Ferris. The Ref is distracted by all this which allows Larry to get his nun chucks. Larry starts to get on the apron. Perez grabs him by his hair, but Larry nails him with the nun chucks in his mid section. Larry gets in the ring and rolls Perez up as the Ref runs over and counts 1..2..3! BOOOOOOOO! Commercial Break Jerry Lawler is standing in front of a SuperClash 2 banner. Lawler: Bad News Brown, I thought you had guts but I was wrong. You attacked me last week from behind like the coward you really are. Even so, I realized something. You're not so bad. You're not so tough. And if that's all you got, then you're in serious trouble. At SuperClash, we're going to fight face to face and when it's all over, I'm going to be standing over you, holding up the AWA world title! Resnick: Ok, strong words from Jerry Lawler. Joining me now is the AWA world champion, Bad News Brown. At SuperClash 2, it's you and Lawler for the world title in a Street Fight Match. I do think your attack on Lawler last week was completely uncalled for. Brown: I don't care what you think! A wimp like you or Queen Lawler wouldn't understand. I did what I did last week to prove a point. In a street fight there are no rules! Anything goes! I grew up fighting in the streets of Harlem. You hear that Lawler! I've been street fighting all my life. At SuperClash 2, we're in my world and you don't have a prayer chump! Saturday December 31st From the St. Paul Civic Center Live on pay per view See previous post for official SuperClash 2 card.

Loved that Bigelow/Race post match confrontation. it really makes the title a huge deal. I agree with AD, you're doing a great and very entertaining job getting Mark Madness over. After what Savage did to Lanny, I wonder if Lanny will even show up to the Lights Out match. Kenosha Knock Out is stacked. It's going to be a brutal night. I'm looking forward to the Road Warriors/RnR title bout.

Starrcade! YES! Ray Charles gets the night going. We get a big surprise right off the bat as AOD shows up and helps Zodiac and Jason get the 6 man titles back. Jeez, who can stop these monsters? I have to give Adias and the Grapplers props on a nice run. Boyd has some serious back up with the heat magnet Debeers. However, Haystacks has a solid friend in Smiley. The Commonwealth feud has some good buzz going. I'm sure the fans loved seeing Slick's interference backfire. S&S retain as their strong reign continues. The New Breed/Spartanburg feud was very well built up and what a blow off! After winning a high profile Dog Collar match, the New Breed are the team to watch in 88. A lot of heat in the 3 way match. Commonwealth survive and I'm sure are ready for anybody. The Hansen/Brody match ended exactly how you would expect with wild and crazy double c.o. Watching them brawl is well worth the price of admission. I'm so glad we got to see the battle of the Nature Boys at the grandest stage. These guys delivered and gave the fans an epic main event. Landell found out why Flair is the dirtiest player in the game. It's a lot of fun watching Flair battling all the heel challengers. Looking forward to his reign in 88. You showed why Starrcade is the NWA's premier event. Great job!

Some good heat put on Madness as he opens up the show with a brutal beating on the king of the openers, Koko B. Ware. Wild Bill's the star as he gets his team the satisfying win. Spivey looks like an absolute beast by power bombing Barbarian. Jimmy Jam gets the best heel heat. I've loved the push Casey is getting in WCPW but this win over Kamala puts him on another level. Reed vs. Steamboat is awesome booking. After that finish I hope we get a lot more. 4 top teams going at it. Gotta love it! The fans get a taste of a Road Warriors/RnR dream match. Rockers get nuclear heat by ruining it. Speaking of nuclear heat, Lanny gets just that! This feud is money! Can't wait for their next encounter. The question is who will survive? After a long and rough road, Bigelow finally does it and takes the title from Race. What a glorious moment. Bigelow can take Windy City to new levels. Also, it was nice seeing Race get one last run at the top.
