The Haitian Sensation shocks Chief Joe to open the show on a high note. Good to see Yamada and Hase back on track. I think they will be serious contenders in 1988. The SPC put up a fight but the Andersons are back and focused. I'm loving the 3 way chaos between the Commonwealth, Sheepherders and Bees. Cool program. Debeers is quickly becoming the NWA's top heel and that's saying something. After that berating, Smiley might've been to emotionally fired up as Boyd ends up with the TV title. Surprising moment for sure. Worldwide, This show has been a great forum for solid showcases. Former TV champ Wright gets another chance at the title next week. Should be very interesting. 3 title bouts signed for Starrcade! I would purchase the pay per view on these matches alone.

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 11-18-87 Lance Russell: Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of AWA Major League Wrestling. Our big main event will see Nick Busick defend the TV title against Billy Jack Strong. A lot of action tonight but first I want to bring out AWA President Jerry Jarrett, who has some huge news regarding SuperClash 2. Jarrett walks out and shakes Lance's hand. Jarrett: Lance, as you know there's been a lot of bad blood here in the AWA. At Superclash 2, I'm hoping we can resolve a lot of these issues. The following matches have been signed. Nikita Koloff will face The Dream Machine. In a grudge match, Austin Idol will go up against Steve Keirn. The Glamour Boys and Scott Putski will take on The Original Midnight Express and Phil Hickerson in a 6 man elimination match. Now, Mike George was scheduled to defend the International title against Al Perez. In a surprising turn of events, Perez has given up that title shot. Let's hear some pre recorded comments from Perez and why he's turned down his rightful title shot. Perez: (bandage on his head) I know people must think I'm crazy for doing this, but after what Larry Zbyszko did to me at the Rupp Arena, I just couldn't let it go. I'll still be wrestling at SuperClash, but it's going to be against Larry Zbyszko in a taped fist match! Larry! I requested this match because all I want to do is pound on your arrogant head. You knocked me out with your nun chucks so now I'm going to knock you out with my fists! Back Live Jarrett: I wanted to see Perez get that title shot he deserved but he was adamant about facing Zbyszko. And after seeing what Zbyszko did to him at the Rupp Arena, well, I felt I owed it to Al Perez. Hopefully this gets settled once and for all. And now.... There's a commotion as the AWA world champ Bad News Brown storms out. Brown has the title on his shoulder but his head has a bandage wrap around it. Brown: Jarrett, I've been listening to you going on and on about SuperClash 2. You see my head? Yea, your golden boy Lawler shattered a chair over it last week on national TV. Looks to me like he wants to fight. Well guess what Lawler, so do I! You want a fight? I'll give you one! I'll put this here world title on the line at SuperClash. But hold on, you want to fight right? Let's fight! You get a title shot but it's going to be in a ghetto street fight! Yea, let's see what kind of fighter you really are. Personally, I think you're nothing but a chicken and coward. You're a cockroach that I'm going to stomp down on. I threw down the challenge. The question is, will a coward like you accept? Brown storms off. Jarrett: Lance, I was going to announce that world title bout anyways, but this changes things. Normally I wouldn't sanction this type of match for the world title so.... Massive cheers as JERRY LAWLER storms out. Lawler: Jerry, I'll make this real easy for you. Bad News Brown, I accept! Not only will I beat you in a fight, but I'm going to take the world title as well! Jarrett: Well, I guess the SuperClash 2 main event is now official. The fans are still cheering. Commercial Break The Dream Machine vs. Neil Jordan Dream swings off the ropes and hits his jumping elbow drop for the win. Resnick: After that brief showdown last week... Dream: Shut up Resnick! What happened last week was that no good commie Nikita Koloff sucker punched me and caught me completely off guard. Typical behavior from a Vodka drinking degenerate. SuperClash will be a different story. The Dream Machine is back and better than ever babay and I'm going to send that bald headed geek back to where he belongs! Commercial Break Crusher Blackwell vs. Trent Watkins More "future millionaire" chants as Blackwell wins the match with a big splash. Blackwell smiles at the fans as he heads too ringside. Resnick: Just listen to these fans Crusher Blackwell. They really want to see you win the million dollars at SuperClash. What a life changing moment that would be. Your head must be spinning. Blackwell: That's an understatement Ken. I'm beyond excited to be competing for one million dollars. I can't wait! I want Gerry Morrow to know, if he comes back he better be ready for the fight of his life because this is the chance of a lifetime and I'm going to make the absolute most of it. Commercial Break Uncommon Alliance vs. Todd Rooney and Ray Glader Kirchner hits a backbreaker on Glader and holds him as Barr comes down from the middle ropes with a knee to the chest for the win. Resnick: Uncommon Alliance will be one of the teams competing in the Clash Countdown tag team battle royal. The winners will each receive a brand new Cadillac as well as a National Tag Team title shot the next night at SuperClash. Here's a rundown of the teams competing in the battle royal. Uncommon Alliance, Polynesian Power, the British Bombers, Venomous, The Honor Roll, The Quebec Coalition, The Teamsters, and Rip Oliver and Matt Borne. Commercial Break "The Z-Man" Tom Zenk vs. Vic Dutro Zenk nails Dutro with the Superkick and it's all over. Resnick: Tom Zenk, you have been on an incredible roll in the AWA... Boos as BABY DOLL strolls out. Resnick: Whoa, wait a second! Baby Doll what are you doing here? Baby Doll: Keep your mouth closed Resnick and you'll find out. (Looks at Zenk) The last time you saw me, you hoisted me over your shoulder and walked me out of the Mid South Coliseum. The fans laugh and cheer. Baby Doll: Oh yea, these fans, Lawler and you probably had a great laugh didn't you? Zenk: (Smiling) look Baby Doll, it was humorous, but I had to do it to stop all your interfering. Baby Doll: Yea, keep smiling. Let's see if you're smiling after this. The fans are yelling. Zenk turns around and gets nailed by a superkick from CHRIS ADAMS!!! Resnick: What in the world!?!? Adams and Baby Doll are laughing and hug. Baby Doll: Who's smiling now Resnick? Commercial Break Resnick: I can't believe what I just saw. Baby Doll is back and it appears her and Chris Adams have formed a friendship. I think we're in trouble. Switching gears, I want to take you to Carlos Colon and get an update on his condition. Colon is now at home. His face is still bandaged but he seems to be looking better. Colon: I'm feeling better and my spirits are up. It's been confirmed by Doctors that I will be cleared to wrestle at SuperClash 2. My family has shown tremendous support and they've been helping me get my strength back. Both physically and mentally. I'm ashamed I ever made a deal with Curtis Iaukea. Never again will I turn my back on the fans. Abbuda Iaukea! You burned my flesh but my soul was saved. My mission now is to rid the evil you and your Father have brought to the AWA. That will happen at SuperClash! Commercial Break "The Universal Heartthrob" Austin Idol vs. Peter Casper Idol is back in the ring and hasn't lost a step as he wins the match with the Las Vegas Leglock. Resnick: Austin, you really did a number on Steve Keirn at the Rupp Arena. He's lucky his knee didn't have permanent damage. Idol: Oh, poor Steve Keirn. That guy put me out for a month and you didn't say a damn word! I even told you and that dummy that payback was coming. Well payback came and that idiot was put down. Darling, at SuperClash I'm going to make sure Steve Keirn never walks again! Commercial Break Brenda Britton is standing in a park Britton: Last time I was here and saw Gerry, I just couldn't believe how far he had fallen. I was speechless and couldn't even say a word to him. That has all changed! There is purpose now. I can really help Gerry. I can get him back on his feet and make him rich again. I know he can beat that Fat Man Blackwell and be a millionaire again. It's fate! Follow me and lets get Gerry back in the game. Brenda walks up to the park bench. Gerry is sleeping in a dirty white tank top and camouflage pants. His hair's a mess and he's unshaven. There's empty bottles all around him and he's covered in newspaper. Brenda taps on Gerry. Britton: Gerry? Gerry? (shakes him) Gerry, please wake up. Gerry stirs around and swats at the air. Britton: Gerry! It's me! It's Brenda! Gerry turns over and squints his eyes. He focuses and his eyes widen. Gerry: Brenda? Britton: (jumps up and down) Yes! Yes! Gerry! It's me! Gerry processes all this then covers his face with the newspaper. Gerry: Brenda, I can't let you see me like dis. I'm ashamed. Please just go away. I beg of you. Britton: No Gerry! It's ok! I've been tracking you down for months. I can help you! Not just me, but I brought some old friends. Brenda waves them in. CARL FERGIE and GEORGE WELLS walk over. Gerry lowers the paper. Gerry: Carl? George? Is dat really you? Carl: In the flesh old buddy. George: We're here to help. Britton: Gerry, just come with us and we'll tell you everything. You can get it all back. Carl and George help Gerry up and pat him on the back. Carl: Let's get you cleaned up old buddy. George: Everything's going to be just fine. Gerry: (crying) I missed you guys so very much. The three of them hug like there's no tomorrow. Britton: (tears running down her cheeks) Now this is what I call priceless. Commercial Break AWA TV Title Bout Nick Busick (C) vs. Billy Jack Strong The bell rings and these powerhouses just pound away on each other. They fight to the ropes and to the outside. They hammer away on each other all around the ring. The Ref finally starts counting but Busick and Strong are only concerned with hitting each other hard. The Ref counts to 10 and signals for the bell. The bell continues to ring but the Ref still can't stop them and eventually signals for help. Prelim wrestlers come out to break it up but Busick and Strong start knocking them down, then go back to fighting each other. Officials, security and more wrestlers come out and these guys still manage to get in hits on each other. Chaos ensues into the commercial. Commercial Break Lance: My goodness, that was quite a scene. Once again, here's Jerry Jarrett. Jarrett: That's exactly the kind of bad blood I was talking about Lance. I want things to get settled at SuperClash and here's what I'm going to do. Nick Busick and Billy Jack Strong have count out wins over each other and we just saw them fight to a brutal double count out. At SuperClash 2, Nick Busick will defend the TV title against Billy Jack Strong inside a steel cage! That should keep them in the ring. And since we're talking about SuperClash 2, next week I'll announce who the Bruise Brothers will be defending their AWA world tag team titles against and believe me this is going to be a blockbuster. I'll also have a decision on the International title defense as well. A lot going on. See you all next week. Live on Pay Per View Saturday, December 31st From the St. Paul Civic Center Singing the National Anthem- Joan Jett

Ladd has guts going to a Watts show alone. He goes to jail but made a huge statement. Brawler with a sweet finish. Garvin can knock you out or make you give up. Dark Journey has really earned her money. Wahoo seems very loyal to Ivan. I'm sure Taylor is going to want a piece of Wahoo. Watts chose his attack wisely. This situation is beyond the law now. I almost forgot that Williams and Mulligan did a number on El Jefe. Classic move by Tommy. Prichard gets his revenge and can easily play the inexperience card LOL. Tully pulls off the ultimate heel move to earn a title shot at WrestleCade. He's going to have to pull out every heel trick he's got to take the title away from Williams.

Fright Night is here and the Boss gets things going. Tough Guy Inc. are worthy challengers but Adias and the Grapplers are in the zone. Love that finish as Spartanburg Vice save the day for S&S. The New Breed are going to be looking for payback. I can't believe it, but Debeers gets even more heat as he ruins overtime in a classic TV title bout. Sheepherders follow Debeers and ruin the world tag title bout. Now the Sheepherders have to deal with the Commonwealth and the Bees. Landel cheats his way to Starrcade. Dusty really had the fans energized, what a shame. The Starrcade Cup added so much excitement this past month. After all sorts of craziness, Flair eeks out the win over Hansen. But look what we have going into Starrcade. Nature Boy vs. Nature Boy for the world title and looks like Hansen vs. Brody. Not to mention it's in Greensboro. Starrcade is going to be epic!!!

AWA releases Stoney Burke AWA picks up Carl Fergie and George Wells.

Snow might've lost the match but he gets SSM's respect. Young's picking up wins but losing friends. Hmmmmm, Rose just seems too confident. But man, I can't help but love this guy. Cuban Assassin is on a roll. Southern Boys vs. Malenkos! Damn, I love Pacific's tag division. My man St. Clair is tuned up and ready for Payne. Cow Palace, Trouble brewing with Snow and Candido. Gotta say, with Savage cracking the whip, I can't blame Snow. Like his partner, Flowers is racking up the wins. Furnas's stock rises after that win over Eaton. Cactus and Pierre go at it again with no clear cut winner. Hennig's ready for Bock! And Bock is ready for Hennig! Fresno, Anvil pleases his hometown crowd. Grizzly's splash is such a cool visual. Payne sends an up close and personal message to St. Clair. Big Cat has one of my favorite finishers. Severn shows Khan why he's a beast. Backlund and Windham end the show on a wild note. I'm sure the fans went home happy after that one.

AWA @ The Rupp Arena, Lexington KY 11-13-87 The Teamsters defeated Two Local Talents with a double front face suplex. Crusher Blackwell defeated Gene Ligon with a big splash- Lots of "Future Millionaire" cheers for Blackwell after the lotto drawing on TV. Abbuda Iaukea w/Curtis Iaukea defeated Salvatore Bellomo with the camel clutch. Afterwards, Abudda hurled Bellomo out of the ring. Curtis hits him several times with the kendo stick. Abbuda then rammed Bellomo back first into the steel post. Polynesian Power defeated Venomous w/Gama Singh- Fun action packed match that kept the fans on the edge of their seats. Snuka surprises Scorpio with a reverse flying press off the turnbuckles for the win. AWA TV Champ Nick Busick/"Dynamite" DJ Peterson and Mando Guerrero vs. Billy Jack Strong/Earthquake Ferris and "The Calgary Flame" Bruce Hart w/The Vin Man The tide turns several times in this wild and crazy 6 man tag. In the end, all 6 men are going at it. Vinnie tries to interfere but DJ grabs him and tosses him into Ferris. During all this chaos, Hart lowblows Mando from behind and rolls him over with a handful of tights for the tainted win. Busick and Strong were fighting on the outside and kept going after the bell rang. AWA International Title Bout "Marvelous" Mike George (C) w/Greg Gagne vs. "The Fabulous One" Steve Keirn Keirn spent the opening minutes frustrating George. The momentum changed thanks to a trip from Gagne. George controlled things for a bit and reminded everybody that he has quite the move set. Keirn comes back strong and the fans sense a title change. This is where the Ref gets sandwiched and falls to the ground. Once again, Gagne interferes. This time, Keirn bolts out of the ring and tackles Gagne. Keirn pounds down on Gagne as the fans cheer him on. Wait a minute! AUSTIN IDOL hops the guardrail and attacks Keirn from behind! Idol stomps on Keirn's leg, picks him up and rams him knee first into the steel post. Idol clamps on the Las Vegas Leglock! As the Ref starts to rise, Idol is satisfied and exits. George yells at the Ref to make the count. The Ref does just that and counts to 10. BOOOOO! Gagne grabs the International title and hands it to George. They celebrate like they've won the Super Bowl. Winner of the match by C.O. and still AWA International Champ- Mike George AWA National Tag Team Title Bout The Technicians (C) vs. The Honor Roll w/Professor Bill Ash Ash really might have found the total sum of a tag team in Kelly and Morgan, because they look strong, tough and in sync tonight. On the flip side, the Technicians are a well oiled machine and put their combined technical skills to work. After 20 minutes of action, Fleming has Kelly in a cradle. Ash distracts the Ref. Morgan runs in and reverses the cradle. Ash thinks he's a genius as the Ref guides Morgan back. However, Rheingans runs in and reverses that cradle. The Ref turns around and counts 1..2..3! Big Pop! Winners of the match and still AWA National Tag Champs- The Technicians Winner gets an AWA International Title shot at SuperClash 2 "The Latin Heartthrob" Al Perez vs. "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko The fans boo as Larry gives them another arrogant nun chucks display. The bell rings and Larry motions the nun chucks at Perez. Larry laughs and tosses them out of the ring. Larry starts arguing with the fans, then goes to the outside to get in their faces. Perez has enough, runs out and hurls Larry back in the ring. Perez dominates early with explosive offense and several near falls. Larry turns the tide with a mule kick. Larry spends the next few minutes working over Perez with a combination of rulebreaking and impressive moves. Perez makes his comeback and is all over Larry. Larry ends up tumbling to the outside. Larry reaches over and grabs his nun chucks. Perez reaches through the ropes and grabs Larry's hair. In a moment desperation, Larry swings around and nails Perez with the nun chucks. The Ref immediately signals for the DQ. Larry gets in the ring and swings the nun chucks around. Perez is out of it and slowly gets to his knees. Larry whacks him again with the nun chucks and knocks Perez out cold. Nuclear heat for Zbyszko. However, Perez technically did get the win and does get the International title shot at SuperClash. AWA World Tag Team Title Bout The Bruise Brothers (Atlas and Cameron) (C) w/Snowman vs. "Maniac" Matt Borne and "Crippler" Rip Oliver This match is brutal and hard hitting. Both teams came to fight and they absolutely unload on each other. After 15 minutes of this, Borne and Oliver are in control. Atlas runs in and gets double slammed. Oliver hops on the middle ropes and puts Cameron down with a flying forearm blast. Borne gets on the top rope for the Bomb's Away but Snowman runs up and pushes Borne. Borne falls to the outside. Oliver runs over and nails Snowman. Atlas grabs Oliver from behind and nails him with a jumping headbutt. Cameron staggers up. They swing Oliver to the ropes and nail him with stereo double axehandles to the head 1..2..3! The winners of the match and still AWA World Tag Team Champs- The Bruise Brothers

I always loved a heel's logic when he turned. In his mind, Wahoo came up with some very valid points. I think Wahoo and Ivan will be out to prove something. Keep an eye on them. This angle will give these two vets a serious rejuvenation. Who will Mulligan's partner be? Wow, 3 men handcuffed to Ladd. But this is the Big Cat we're talking about LOL. LOL, I love Tully and Gordon's dynamic together. They play off each other so well. Tully's moving on to bigger things. Steiner continues to impress as Hot Stuff's muscle. Ladd once again makes everybody happy, until Prichard makes his return to be the special ref. This is going to be good. Nobody gets up from the hands of stone. Just ask Taz. Rich vs. Taylor is a great TV main event. Of course it ends in chaos. The fans get to cheer big time as Williams hits the Oklahoma stampede on Rich and Mulligan follows with the claw! Come Monday, Rich and El Jefe are in serious trouble. The Road to Wrestlecade is going to be a wild ride.

Action right off the bat with main eventers Moretti and Velvet going at it for the TV title. Moretti always finds a way to stay at the top. The interviews, merchandise selling and hype packages have helped make your shows top notch and crisp. Apache might have something with the chickenwing. This could really up her game. Robin gets her chance to shine with the world champ. Even Medusa gave her credit. But man, Medusa looked great here. It takes guts to relinquish a title for a chance at a higher tier. Winnona takes Richter to the limits but Richter is just too damn good and prevails. Your shows are really clicking. Great job!

Damn! Debeers is getting nuclear heat! This is going to be huge. SPC get the hard fought win, but Sherri seems to have a plan. This will be another fun tag feud. New Breed defeat their rivals Spartanburg Vice to earn a US tag title shot. New Breed don't waste any time by attacking US champs S&S. Immediate heat. You've done an amazing job with all your teams. Very competitive division. Street vs. Abby! The visual alone would sell this match. All sorts of craziness as the Sheepherders arrive along with Debeers and Boyd! Things are going to get nuts! Brody destroys Landel, but somehow the "Nature Boy' walks out victorious and alive. Dusty vs. Landel for a world title shot. Bring it on! Worldwide, Tough Guy Inc. look strong as they head into a 6 man title match. Yamada vs. Smiley could steal the show. The Commonwealth feud is going to be money! Fright Night is stacked! This will set the tone for Starrcade. Honestly. I could see Flair, Hansen, Dusty and Landel all headline Starrcade. The heat is on! BTW, nice job booking The Boss.

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 11-11-87 Footage from last week is shown as Jerry Lawler brings in Nikita Koloff to defeat the Quebec Coalition. Lance Russell: Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of AWA Major League Wrestling. Well, tonight is the night.

Let me tell you something Nikita Koloff, I'm the man around here babay! So why don't you get lost! Go back to Russia and drink Vodka or whatever it is you do. I don't care, just get outta here because I have a lot to say and you don't! Nikita: Nikita no want trouble but this is my interview time, so I ask you please let me finish. Dream: Are you stupid? Do we have a language issue? Do you not understand? I said beat it! Get the hell out of here! Nikita steps closer. Nikita: Nikita not go anywhere. Dream: Ok, I guess you need some help. Dream pushes Nikita! Nikita staggers back and pauses, then lunges forward and pushes Dream down to the ground. Nikita looks down at Dream and does an intimidating trap pose before exiting. Lance is laughing. Dream gets up and starts going crazy and flips over the podium. Dream: I'll knock that smile off your face Lance! Bring him back here! Get him back here! Commercial Break AWA National Tag Champs The Technicians vs. Ray Glader and Todd Rooney Rheingans executes a gut wrench suplex, then tags in Fleming, who finishes the match with the rear naked chokehold. Resnick: This weekend at the Rupp Arena, you guys will be defending the National tag titles against the Honor Roll. They got that non title win to receive this shot. Professor Ash thinks his team will be the next National champs. Rheingans: Ken, they did beat us, no denying it. That's just the spark we needed. Our wake up call. Fleming: We learned from that loss and now we're focused like never before. These titles are staying with us and for a long time. Commercial Break "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko vs. Arnie Goldstein Before the match, Larry brings out a pair of nun chucks and gives the fans a demonstration. Larry gets his usual heat and wins the match with a swinging neckbreaker. Resnick is talking about the upcoming match between Larry and Al Perez with the winner getting a shot at the International title at SuperClash 2. While Resnick's talking, Larry swings his nun chucks around. Larry: Very impressive isn't it Resnick? Not only am I a world class wrestler but as you know I'm also a martial arts expert. I can do it all and after I dispose of Alvin, I'll soon be the International champion. Resnick, there's nothing I can't do. Commercial Break Scott "Powerhouse" Putski vs. Randy Rose w/Norvell Austin The bell rings and Norvell is distracting Putski, which allows Rose to attack from behind. Rose pounds away on Putski, swings him to the ropes and puts him down with a high knee 1..2..Kick Out. Rose picks up Putski and slams him down, then hops on the middle ropes and comes down with a sling shot splash 1..2..Putski gets his foot on the ropes. Rose argues with the Ref as Norvell slaps Putski. Rose grabs Pustki and goes for a suplex but Putski blocks it and suplexes Rose. Putski regroups. Rose staggers up as Putski swings him hard into the corner. Putski follows with a running clothesline. Putski grabs Rose and hits a belly to belly suplex 1..2..Norvell reaches in and pulls the Ref. The Ref gets up and berates Norvell. Putski gets up and yells down at Norvell. Rose sneaks up and nails Putski with a double axehandle. Rose chokes Putski on the top rope, then flings him back. Rose starts strutting around. He finally picks up Putski and goes for a bodyslam but Pustki cradles him 1..2..3! Big Pop! As Putski's celebrating, he's hit from behind by Dennis Condrey! Pustki starts to fight back but Phil Hickerson hits the ring and nails Putski with a clothesline from behind. The Midnight Express and Hickerson put the boots to Putski. The fans go wild as the Glamour Boys run over Norvell and hit the ring with fists flying! We get a minute of all out fighting before the commercial hits. Commercial Break Highlights are shown of Tatsumi Fujinami and Jumbo Tsuruta during their time as AWA world tag champs. That's followed by each of them in single's action. Those two will meet in a Japanese dream match at SuperClash 2.

They cut a promo on Venomous and say they get their revenge this weekend at the Rupp Arena. Commercial Break AWA International Champ "Marvelous" Mike George w/Greg Gagne vs. Sam Smith Gagne does an overdramatic celebration as George hits a Russian LegSweep for the win. Resnick: This weekend at the Rupp Arena, Mike George defends the International title against Steve Keirn. Gagne: We already know that Resnerd. First off, my associate Gama Singh has assured me that Venomous will make short work of those idiot islander savages. Now, about this Keirn fella. He talks a big game about being a wargames winner. However, he's never met a wrestler the caliber of Mike George. Mike George is marvelous and that's so much better than fabulous. George: (laughs) You're right on the money Greg. Steve Keirn is an underachiever and has zero chance of giving me any competition whatsoever! (George smiles and kisses his title) Gagne: Get a new suit Resnerd. We're out of here! Commercial Break The camera zooms in on the glowing pink 'Beauty Shop' sign then pans down to Brenda Britton. Brenda is standing with Jerry Jarrett and several men wearing suits. Britton: Hi everybody and welcome back to the Beauty Shop. Wow, it feels like I've been gone forever. Now, we all know everything happens here. At SuperClash 2 you will see a million dollar match. Jerry, go ahead and give the details. Jarrett: Thank you Brenda. Standing behind me are several representatives of various AWA sponsors. Each of them have contributed to the million dollars put up for this monumental match. Sitting in front of me is the lotto generator. Inside each ball has the name of an AWA wrestler. 2 balls will be drawn. Those two wrestlers will wrestle at SuperClash 2 for one million dollars. Truly a lifechanging event for the winner. Brenda, if you want to grab the handle and give it a spin, I'll draw the first name. Britton: So exciting! Brenda spins the generator several times and stops. Jarrett pulls out a ball and reads the name. Jarrett: The first wrestler who will be competing for one million dollars is CRUSHER BLACKWELL! The men in suits clap Britton: BOOOOOO! Jeez, can you imagine what that hick would do with a million dollars? What a let down. Jarrett: Ok Brenda, go ahead and give it a spin. Brenda spins it and stops. Jarrett: Crusher Blackwell's opponent at SuperClash 2 for one million dollars will be... Jarrett reads it and pauses. Jarrett: I don't believe it. GERRY MORROW. Britton: OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! I need to go! Jarrett: Where are you going? Britton: I've gotta find Gerry! Tooodles! Jarrett: (watches Brenda leave) Well, it's official, at SuperClash 2, Crusher Blackwell will wrestle Gerry Morrow for one million dollars. (shakes his head) Anything's possible in the AWA.

Borne: This is it! Bruise Brothers! We got your number boys! Oliver: And we're taking your titles! Resnick: Ok, they're fired up and confident. Fans, don't forget, next week Nick Busick defends the AWA TV title against Billy Jack Strong. That's been a hard hitting rivalry with no clear cut winner. Alright, our huge world title match is next!

Brown is on his knees. Lawler raises the chair and shatters it over Brown's head!! Brown is down, out and bleeding! The fans cheer as Lawler holds up a piece of the broken chair. Winner of the match by DQ- Jerry Lawler. However, Bad News Brown is still the AWA World Champion

Ladd's card first, Robley's monsters continue their path of destruction. TNT finds out Garvin is one tough customer. Wherever Tommy Rich goes, shenanigans follow LOL. I wonder if Tully and JYD will ever get things settled. I'm sure Ladd will come up with a solution. Robley turns things way up and I'm sure now has Ladd's undivided attention. WHOA! Did not see this coming! Wahoo turns on JYD! NO WAY! After that beating, Tully will be the last thing on JYD's mind. Man, what a swerve! Onto Watt's card, Graham and Santo get the night going. Good win for Muta. Proves he can go with the big and bad. Hopefully we get more Duggan/Vader brawls. Not sure going to Watts was the right move for Wright's Christians. Seeing Adnan go down to the DDT was a satisfying moment. Luger retains but questions still remain. Once again, the Ladd/Watts storyline is one of the game's best.

AWA @ The Quandt Fieldhouse, Stevens Point WI 11-6-87 Uncommon Alliance defeated Gene Ligon and Stoney Burke- Kirchner hit a backbreaker on Burke and held him as Barr came off the middle ropes with a knee drop to the mid section for the win. "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko defeated Salvatore Bellomo with a spinning neckbreaker The British Bombers defeated The Teamsters-Fun back and forth match between two teams vying for a title shot. The end came when Smith sent Huber through the ropes with a high knee as Taylor executed a belly to back suplex on Veasey for the win. "Dynamite" DJ Peterson defeated Earthquake Ferris by DQ due to blatant interference by The Vin Man. Vinnie and Ferris swing DJ to the ropes and go for a double clothesline but DJ ducks, swings back and puts both men down with a flying shoulder tackle! The Original Midnight Express w/Norvell Austin and Phil Hickerson defeated The Glamour Boys w/Scott Putski- 30 minutes of non stop action! In the end all hell breaks loose. Hickerson tries to get involved but Putski yanks him off the apron. The Ref is distracted by their fighting around the ring. This allows Norvell to toss Condrey a pair of brass knuckles. Doll hits a flying press on Rose that sends both men over the top rope. Simpson goes after Condrey but Condrey levels him with the brass knuckles. The Ref turns around and counts 1..2..3! BOOOOOOOS! Mando Guerrero defeated "The Calgary Flame" Bruce Hart- Hart rolled up Mando with a handful of tights but Mando carried the momentum over, grabbed Hart's tights and got the pin! Hart was livid as Mando celebrated with the fans. AWA World Tag Team Champs The Bruise Brothers (Atlas, Snowman and Cameron) vs. Matt Borne, Rip Oliver and Crusher Blackwell This match was off the rails! All 6 men came to fight and they did just that. They gave the fans a 20 minute slugfest. All 6 men end up in the ring just pounding away on each other. Blackwell hit a running corner splash on Snowman. As Atlas clotheslined Blackwell from behind, Snowman staggered forward into a cradle by Borne 1..2..3! Big POP! Don't forget, this Friday on TV. The biggest main event ever! AWA World Title Bout! Bad News Brown (C) vs. Jerry "The King" Lawler

Koko has certainly found his groove in the openers. Big time won over Barbarian. Give Dutch a pay raise. The Badd Co./Nasties feud has added a lot of spice to the tag division. Casey is having the run of his career in Windy City. I'm loving it. 6 man tag is an action packed roller coaster ride! Jimmy Jam gets the big shine with the brainbuster finish. Lanny is going nuts, but I think Savage is going to get insane! NEW Tag Champs!!! Road Warriors, from Chicago, it was meant to be. Props to Orton and Slater for a fun run. Reed's win helps ease the tag title loss. What a main event! Race proves he actually has a lot left in the tank. Bigelow proves he's a superstar. All sorts of chaos leads to a DQ. However, great set up to the big Thanksgiving show. TV's Mark Madness (LOL) is off and running. Everything is coming together for Thanksgiving Thunder. So many great feuds going on. Savage and Poffo are heading for an explosive showdown. Dream 4 corners tag title bout. Bunkhouse match, Street fight, Reed vs. Steamboat. Awesome stuff! The big question is will Bigelow finally find a way to take the title from Race. Can't wait to find out.
-
Sorry Kev, forgot to post this. AWA traded Ricky Steamboat to Windy City for Chris Adams. Also, Grizzly Boone is listed on my roster. He's with the NWA now.
-
Excellent follow up! Robley just might get his wish. But be careful because he'll be matching wits with Michael Hayes. Tully gets his rematch but still doesn't seem satisfied. Loved his last words with Gordon LOL. Such a heel. Wahoo's and Ivan's feud continues. It's great to see these vets involved in a great feud at this stage in their careers. Tommy Rich!!! The T-Shirt has been the best running gag in the game (Thanks Gene). Awesome job recapping the history and validating Tommy's points. Rich seems to be looking forward working for Ladd. Great stuff! Hot Stuff Inc get their rematch but I think the Freebirds are one step ahead. More intrigue involving Luger, Woman, the AWA and Watts. These types of stories will draw huge ratings every week. The Million Dollar Corporation vs. Snake, Duggan, Herc and Steiner is heading for a major showdown. Ladd and Watts is hotter than ever! Thanksgiving is the biggest night for wrestling and these guys are going to go toe to toe with WrestleCades! The heat is on!
-
Winnona has had an amazing TV title reign. Beating Kai defiantly gets her ready for Richter. It's good to see the vets like Devine and Combs getting wins and staying in the hunt. Maxine is getting some shine and I agree, she might be ready for a title shot. 6 top stars in the main event. Can't go wrong with that. Babyfaces stand tall to end the show on a high note. Richter probably won't be in a good mood and that might be trouble for Winnona next week.
-
Boyd makes an impactful debut. An alliance between Debeers and Boyd? OH NO! If you look back at this game's history, Boone has done quite well. He's keeping that up in the NWA. Ox and the Islanders is such a devastating combo. Smiley shows off his tremendous skills by dismantling the big man. I have to admit, I popped big time when Johnson pulled of that win over Haystacks. What a great TV moment. Dusty vs. Arn always delivers. Dusty wins the A block and is really close to a Starrcade main event. Worldwide, Another solid round of showcases with Fuller, Spartanburg and Adonis. Jump'n Joe gets his shot at Smiley. Smiley's been taking on a variety of challengers. Fright Night is really shaping up. Hansen vs. Flair! Bees get their title shot. And the winners of the Spartanburg/New Breed feud will be rewarded with a US tag shot. Next week's Block B matches will be a lot of fun. Dusty is going to have his hands full with whoever wins it. Great storylines as we head down the road to Starrcade.
-
Burke's having a bit of a career resurgence as him and Finlay hand the Diamond Exchange a rare loss. Cactus is really proving himself. Dutch Savage has had enough! Will the wrestlers be able to control themselves until Battleground? It was tainted but that win might be enough to get Young's confidence back. Windham busts out the claw! Midnights ruin the tag title bout and didn't look like Snow appreciated that. Portland, Rose fought hard for that win. Never underestimate the Playboy. I got a kick out of the Red/Cactus match. Bearer has sure taken a liking to Red. Haynes shows he can brawl with the best of them. Odd Couple get back on the winning track and Gantner was pissed about it. Thanks to more chaos, Savage comes out with another stern warning. Bock is really going out with a bang. Interesting that both Owen and Pillman received recent Pacific title shots with Bock and will now wrestle each other at Battleground. Eugene, Snow fought hard but goes down to SSM. Another hard fought brawl between Burke and Angel. Anvilizer! Coast to Coast get a big win over the Sawyers. St. Clair looks impressive with a win over tag champ Candido. Backlund vs. Finlay is a heck of a way to end the night. Battleground is stacked! So much at stake.

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 11-4-87 Footage from last week is shown as The Quebec Coalition attack Jerry Lawler. Later in the show, Lawler comes out and announces the Quebec Coalition will face him and a mystery partner. Lance Russell: Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of AWA Major League Wrestling. After what you all just saw, tonight's main event will be Jerry Lawler and a partner of his choosing versus The Quebec Coalition. We'll have an update on Carlos Colon. Tony Atlas goes one on one with Crusher Blackwell. Polynesian Power takes on Venomous. But right now, my guest is the AWA world champion, Bad News Brown. Brown is so money as he walks out wearing a suit with the top buttons unbuttoned, gold chain around his neck and the belt on his shoulder. Lance: Well Bad News, you've had lot going on recently. Jerry Jarrett has signed the world title rematch between you and Jerry Lawler, which will take place right here, next week on TV. Not only that but you recently wrestled UWF champ Lex Luger in a title vs. title match at their Halloween Havoc. Just what was that all about? It seemed to of come out of nowhere. Brown: What happened was I got tired of beating up all the competition in the AWA. An opportunity came up to beat up a so called champion somewhere else and I did just that. If it wasn't for some jezebel, I'd be wearing two titles right now! As for Queen Lawler, it looks like he's preoccupied with other things right now. Well, if he aint one hundred percent next week, then that's bad news for him! Bad News raises his fist and the title. Commercial Break Mando Guerrero vs. Ty Ramsey Good showcase for Mando as he swings off the ropes and hits a flying crossbody press for the win. Mando cuts a promo and says he's looking forward to shutting Bruce Hart up. Commercial Break AWA World Tag Team Champ Tony Atlas vs. Crusher Blackwell These two start out clubbing each other. Blackwell gets the upper hand but that's cut short when the Bruise Brothers hit the ring and attack Blackwell. The 3 on 1 attack doesn't last long because Rip Oliver and Matt Borne hit the ring with fists flying. The pier six brawl goes on into the commercial. Commercial Break ZZ Top's 'Sharp Dress Man' plays as Chris Adams drives around in a convertible. His hair's waving in the wind and he's wearing sunglasses as he looks in the mirror and gives himself a smile. "Gentleman" Chris Adams is coming to the AWA The Original Midnight Express w/Norvell Austin vs. Todd Rooney and Ray Glader Norvell puts his arms up in victory as the Midnight's hit the double flapjack for the win. Phil Hickerson comes out to join his stablemates at ringside. Resnick: Norvell, your Midnight Express are having a hard time with the Glamour Boys. And Phil Hickerson seems to be having his hands full with Scott Putski. Norvell: Hello! Did you not see last week's match when my main man Phil knocked that Punkski out? Knocked him out cold! Resnick: Yea, with the help of some brass knuckles. Norvell: Your opinion means nothing Resnick. Now, as far as those sissy boys go, my Midnight Express are going to take care of them soon enough. I mean we've beaten them up so many times, it's not even fun anymore. Commercial Break "The Latin Heartthrob" Al Perez vs. Curtis Moore Perez looks outstanding and wins the match with the helicopter drop! Resnick: Al, next week at the Rupp Arena, once again it's you and Larry Zbyszko, only this time, the winner will receive an AWA International title shot at SuperClash 2. Perez: You know, last year Larry and I were National tag team champs. A lot has changed. It's time to prove myself and win a single's title. That means I have to get through Zbyszko first. Larry, I've beaten you before and I'll do it again. Commercial Break Footage is shown from a few weeks ago when Abbuda Iaukea threw a fireball in Carlos Colon's face. Carlos Colon is sitting in a hospital bed with his head bandaged and wrapped around his left eye. Colon: Sitting here for weeks, I've had a lot of time to reflect. I consider this punishment for the sins I've committed this past year. I'm ashamed of my actions and behavior. I was wrong and from the bottom of my heart I'm sorry. I will be back to redeem myself and that starts with the Iaukea family. I should be cleared to wrestle by the end of the year. Which means at SuperClash 2, I'm challenging you Abbuda Iaukea! Your Father has you on a very dark path. Trust me, that will get you nowhere. Curtis! If you get in my way, it will be your demise! I will see you both at SuperClash! Commercial Break Abbuda Iaukea w/Curtis Iaukea vs. Harold Bannister Abbuda hits the ring and pounds Bannister to the ground. Abbuda hits 3 consecutive backbreakers and follows with the camel clutch for the win. Abbuda hurls Bannister out of the ring. Curtis hits Bannister several times with his kendo stick. Abbuda runs over, picks up Bannister and rams him back first into the steel post several times before slamming him down hard on the concrete! Bannister is stretchered out by a team of Medics. Resnick: That was uncalled for! You both should be banned from wrestling! Curtis: That was a message! A message to you Carlos Colon! Abbuda will be waiting! (Maniacal laugh) Yes, he will be waiting! Abbuda: Colon! You're right. My path is a dark one. A path you didn't have the guts to take. At SuperClash you will be on my path and I will tear right through you! And then the real suffering begins! Commercial Break Polynesian Power vs. Venomous w/Gama Singh Fun fast paced match that really shows what these two teams are capable of. Venomous are a well oiled machine and pull out some innovating high offensive maneuvers. Kokina and Snuka bring the power. After 10 minutes, all 4 men are going at it. Snuka sends Cobra through the ropes with a jumping headbutt as Kokina hits a Samoan Drop on Scorpio for the pin! Bruce Hart and Greg Gagne run in and attack Snuka. Kokina runs over but Gama clips him behind the knee. They start putting the boots to Polynesian Power. The fans go wild when Mando Guerrero storms the ring swinging a chair like a madman! That's enough to clean house. Commercial Break Saturday, December 31st St. Paul Civic Center Live on Pay Per View Jerry Jarrett is standing in front of a SuperClash 2 banner Jarrett: SuperClash 2 is shaping up to be the greatest event in AWA history. What better way to kick things off then with Joan Jett singing the National Anthem? You know that on the previous night at the Clash Countdown, there will be a tag team battle royal. The winners will each be rewarded a brand new Cadillac and a National Tag Team title shot the next night at SuperClash. Carlos Colon will be back to take on Abbuda Iaukea. Big news on the Million Dollar Match. The two names will be drawn next week in the lotto pool on the returning Beauty Shop. Switching gears, recently in Japan a fan poll was taken. They voted on the dream match they wanted to see most. Well, at SuperClash the AWA is going to give them that match. It will be none other than Jumbo Tsuruta against Tatsumi Fujinami. That's right, the former AWA world tag champs and Crockett Cup winners will face each other at SuperClash. This will truly be an international spectacle. I'll see you all next week on the Beauty Shop for the big million dollar match lotto drawing. Commercial Break "The Fabulous One" Steve Keirn vs. Vic Dutro Keirn wins it with the reverse DDT. Resnick: Steve, next week at the Rupp Arena, you get an International title shot against Mike George. Tremendous opportunity for you. Keirn: It is a tremendous opportunity and trust me I'm going to make the absolute most of it. I heard Gagne and George running their mouths last week about how I'm not worthy competition. Boys, I came out on the winning side of War Games and I'm carrying that momentum to the International title! Commercial Break Billy Jack Strong vs. William Hillman Strong is aggressive tonight and finishes things off with a shoulder breaker. It's announced that Strong will get his TV title shot rematch in two weeks. Strong cuts a promo and says Busick's been ducking him because he's scared and knows his title reign is coming to an abrupt end! Commercial Break Resnick: In just a few minutes our main event will take place. Before we get to that I wanted to bring out Professor Bill Ash and his Honor Roll. Ash comes out in his cap and gown. Kelly and Morgan are wearing their new black gowns. Resnick: Well Professor, you guys did it. The Honor Roll defeated the Technicians in a non title match and now have earned a National tag title shot at the Rupp Arena next week. Ash: Admit it Resnick, I'm a genus. I told you I would put together the total sum of a tag team and I did. Kevin Kelly and Rip Morgan have become one. And now, they will become champions. Resnick: Ok, we'll see about that next week at the Rupp Arena. Our huge main event when we come back. Commercial Break Jerry "The King" Lawler and ??? vs. The Quebec Coalition w/Frenchy Martin Frenchy and The Quebec Coalition are standing in the ring boasting confidence. Frenchy grabs the mic. Frenchy: Dis is what I thought. There was no way Jerry Lawler would find a partner brave enough to face de Quebec Coalition. Do your job referee and count de coward out!" The fans boo as Frenchy waves the Quebec Flag while Charland and Lefon berate the Ref. The boos turn to wild cheers as Jerry Lawler steps out. He walks a few steps down the aisle smiling. Lawler stops and looks to the back. The curtain opens and it's...it's....it's...yes! it's NIKITA KOLOFF!!! The bell rings as Lawler and Koloff charge in. Lawler and Nikita pound away on the Quebecs as the fans go nuts! Stereo body slams. Frenchy tries to hit Lawler with his flag but Nikita runs over and sends him through the ropes with a running shoulder block! Charland staggers up as Nikita clotheslines him over the top rope! Lawler hoists Lafon up and piledrives him down. Lawler picks up Lafon and swings him to the ropes as Nikita just about decapitates him with the Russian Sickle 1..2..3!!! The fans are standing, jumping and screaming as Lawler and Nikita celebrate. Unbelievable!

That's so awesome! I can't think of a better compliment than that. Way to cool.

Vic Steamboat continues to rack up wins. Ross and Brickhouse put a stamp on their feud with the Russians. Bruno tries but gets caught. Hopefully we get more Scott/Embry matches. This could be a really fun feud. Wild triple bullrope match where the masks keep coming off. This would've been a blast to see live. Fuller thinks he's riding high after helping the Starrs beat the Nightmares. That comes to an abrupt end with a revenge fireball from the Bullet. Tommy no shows but we get 'Mildfire' and one hilarious shirt. This was so funny and was topped off by Travis and Bruno simply walking out on Mildfire LOL. Madril is a walking miracle and wouldn't you know it, he walks out with the title! I can only imagine what the next Fiesta Garden will be like. Twin States continues to deliver the heat.
-
The battle of the Halloween Havocs! Here we go! I think Ladd better give Robley what he wants. Ladd makes a great call and gives us an exciting tag bout. Taylor and Garvin get the win but the young and brutal cartel get the last laugh. Props to Ivan and Wahoo for going all out. The fans witnessed a bloodbath brawl. I hope we get to find out what went down in the back. Hayes is the most heelish babyface in the game LOL. He's also one sly dude. The scene of Missy and Gilbert counting with their backs turned was hilarious. Mulligan makes Estrada suffer until El Gringo Grande (Long live the T-Shirts) himself shows up and it's none other than Tommy Rich! What an awesome surprise! Rich is a shoe in for most hated wrestler of the year. I can't wait to see what he does here and how he interacts with Ladd. Oh boy! The odds were against Tully from the start. JYD holding gold in Mid South just seems right. Damn! Willaims and Nikita more than deliver and brother they had their working boots on. Williams pulls it out and that stare down at the end said it all. Ok, let's see if Watts can follow that. Things are on the right track as Muta opens with an exciting win over Santo. Rogers is the type of guy that will get his opponent over and defiantly gets the job done with Benoit. Duggan gets the first earth shattering pop of the night by beating Rotunda for the TV title in an exciting finish. Murdoch roughs Vader up but Woman is the deciding factor as Vader moves up another notch. Ellering and Jake will be money just on promos alone. Genius booking putting these two together. We get a DQ finish but Ellering and the slithering snake give the fans plenty to cheer about. This feud could be legendary. Who wouldn't want to see 2 muscled up powerhouses taking on 2 huge monsters for the tag titles? Herc and Scott take down the disasters and are holding gold. The main event is full of drama and leaves everyone wondering. Luger and Brown throw everything they got at each other and battle to a double co. What's going on with Woman? How will Watts react? Are Jarrett and Brown going to walk quietly back to the AWA? So much intrigue. It's a hard one to call. Both Ladd and Watts delivered stellar shows. I guess in the end, the fans are the true winners. Great job Kev!
-
What a way to kick off the show! It's a miracle that Madril even showed up with all the injuries he suffered LOL. I loved the angle here with Tugboat and Plowboy. Thatcher's reaction to all this was icing on the cake. Tommy puts it all on the line against his cousins. Not sure Travis is as confident. Desperados and Thunderfoots in a triple bull rope match is Twin States at its best. Fuller better get ready because the wrath of Brad is coming! The main event was pure entertainment and so much fun. Loved it! We get the huge blow off as the big men's masks come off for the shocking revealing. I can't wait for Olympia vs. Madril, one on one. Bring on the Chamber of Horrors!
-
Kelowna Great suplex finishing sequence by Severn. Loved that powerhouse tag match. Akira proves he's still a major threat. Nice crowd pleasing win for Burke. The Diamond Exchange might have a title shot very soon. Once again the LHW title match steals the show. Pillman is rock'n that title! San Diego Battleground is going to be epic! Those 2 matches alone guarantee a sell out.
