Windy City is letting young Scott Steiner shine. Dynamic Dudes get the win but the Moondogs want more. Oh man, serious heat between Garvin, Landell, Taylor and Adams. I liked the little details referring to the Nasty Boys sloppiness. Idol's the one responsible for Race's beatdown. Idol, Garvin and Landel get even more heat with that promo. Which is followed by another brawl. Interesting turncoat gimmick for Kirchner. I think this could've drawn some good heat IRL. Spivey gives the fans a pleasing victory. Damn! Kamala and the Savages come in with a bang! Akbar leading these men is a game changer for Windy City. Rockers excite the crowd. Idol and Bad News do their best but the aftermath is the real story. All hell breaks loose to set up a huge must see 6 man tag. BTW, the visual of Bad News chasing the Ref cracked me up. Windy City is rock'n!

Yea, the dog collar match is going to be insane! Both Savage and Borne have been built up so well. A lot of great trios in the tournament. I think Street, Dundee and Haystacks is the sleeper team.

Good grief, what a finish by Singh and Bennett! Peterson looks good with that win over Luna. Add her to the list of title contenders. WOW! After one heck of a TV title reign, Velvet goes down. Hey, no shame in dropping the title to one of the hottest wrestlers in the game. Richter 3 belts! She rules the world.

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 2-11-87 Lance Russell: Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of AWA Major League Wrestling. Fans, we're only one week away from Big Brawl. Lance looks at somebody off camera. Lance: Fans, I've been told there's some kind of altercation going on in the parking lot. Cameras are heading out there now. The doors fly open, and we see Tommy Rich and Buzz Sawyer fighting in street clothes! Tommy kicks Sawyer, then throws him into the side of a car. Baby Doll drives up in a car and yells at Tommy to get in. Tommy tries to run but Sawyer grabs his leg and pulls him down. Sawyer pounds away on Tommy, picks him up and throws him across Baby Doll's hood. A swarm of security runs out to stop this. Commercial Break Lance: My goodness! I believe Security has escorted both Tommy Rich and Buzz Sawyer off the premises. I sure hope there's extra security when those two meet at Big Brawl for the AWA world title. Ok, let's get to the ring. Lightning Strike vs. Zane Bouman and Miles Dupree Lightning Strike are in synch tonight. Horner back drops Zane and tags in Allen. Zane staggers up as Allen puts him down with a missile dropkick for the win. Lightning Strike cuts an energetic promo and says they're tuned up, fired up and ready to take the National tag titles at Big Brawl! Commercial Break "Wrangler" Nelson Royal vs. Peter Klein Royal has some fun breaking the rules before winning the match with a belly to back suplex. Royal cuts a promo while twirling his rope. He says he's going to tie up Scorpio and put him out to pasture at Big Brawl. Commercial Break "Captain" Mike Rotunda, "Bulldog" Jesse Barr, "Sir" Norman Smiley, Mike Graham and Greg Gagne vs. Vic Dutro, Willie Lopez, Todd Rooney, Carl Kellerman and Sam Smith Verne Gagne is on commentary during the match. Each man on team Gagne gets his chance to shine. Barr hits a running bulldog. Gagne and Graham execute a double suplex. Smiley hits an elbow drop from the top rope. And Rotunda finishes things off with the Penalty! Resnick: Ok, tremendous win for Team Gagne. Verne, I know you're proud of this unit. Verne: That's an understatement Ken. This is without a doubt the most well put together wrestling squad I've ever seen. My son and Mike Graham have gone way above and beyond my expectations. Each of these men were specifically scouted and hand picked to help bring the AWA back to me. After what I just saw, there's absolutely no doubt in my mind, I will get sole possession of the AWA. At Big Brawl, team Gagne is going to prove to the world what I've always known. That is pure wrestling will always prevail. (Looks at his team) Gentlemen, I would like to congratulate you on your upcoming Big Brawl victory. Well done! Verne shakes each man's hand. Commercial Break We see a fire surrounded by darkness. Curtis Iaukea appears. Iaukea: Jimmy Snuka! You want to be a hero and avenge your friend Ricky Steamboat? You have made a careless and grave mistake. You play with fire and you get burned. Your pain has not yet begun. At Big Brawl, you have no idea what you're dealing with! Carlos Colon relishes in spilling blood. A Caribbean Death Match is something he welcomes with open arms. Nobody has ever beaten Carlos Colon in this kind of fight and nobody ever will! Your blood will spill and your soul will belong to him! The camera veers over as Colon appears over the flames. Colon smears his face with blood and has nothing but evil in his cold eyes. Commercial Break The RPMs w/JT Southern vs. Nate Jones and Robby G JT blasts away on his guitar as the RPMs head to the ring. RPMs get some heat tonight as they showboat and toy with their opponents. RPMs win the match with the Spandex Split. Resnick: Ok, at Big brawl, you three will take on Cabin Fever in a No DQ, handicap match. Lane: Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down Resnick. We put together a highlight reel that we want to show. Davis: Roll it Resnick! "Rock n Roll All Night" by Kiss plays. Highlights are shown of the numerous guitar shots JT Southern and the RPMs have given to Cabin Fever. The RPMs and Southern are cracking up. Resnick: I don't think there's anything funny about that. You guys won't be smiling at Big Brawl. And how many guitars do you have anyways? JT: A superstar rock star like me always has roadies with back ups. Come on Resnick, get with it. Lane: We've knocked Cabin Fever out so many times, they probably don't even know when Big Brawl is. Davis: Those goofs probably don't even know their own names. Resnick looks disgusted as the RPMs high five while JT jams on his guitar. Commercial Break Footage from last week is shown during the AWA International title ceremony when Yoshiaki Yatsu kicks El Canek, throws salt in his eyes and gut wrench suplexes him through the table! El Canek vs. Louis Kimber Canek's wearing a back brace but looks stronger than ever. Canek does a Gorilla Drop, swings off the ropes and hits a leg drop for the win! Resnick: It looks like it's going to take a lot more than what happened last week to put El Canek down. I think Yoshiaki Yatsu might've poked a bear. Stakes are high as the winner of their Big Brawl match will be crowned AWA International Champion. There's a commotion as Larry Zbyszko and Al Perez come strutting out. Resnick: Ok, well, speaking of championships, I've been joined by our AWA National Tag Team Champs. Perez: We just couldn't help ourselves Resnick. After watching those nobodies put on a slightly mediocre match and follow with a lackluster interview, we had to come out and give the fans their money's worth. Oh, once again, what's the name of that team? You know, the team we're facing at Big Brawl? Resnick: I believe you're referring to Tim Horner and Jerry Allen, Lighting Strike. And by the way, they've been on one heck of a win streak. Larry: Come on Resnick. It really doesn't matter who those spudheads are. They might have slipped in a few wins but they're no match for us. Al Perez and the living legend are going to make the best of it. We're just going to call our match at Big Brawl a showcase. The world will get their money's worth just to see how good we really are. Commercial Break The camera zooms in on the glowing pink "Beauty Shop" sign, then pans down to Brenda Britton. Britton: Hi everyone and welcome once again to the highest rated segment in wrestling, the beauty shop. At Big Brawl, there's going to be a huge 8-man steel cage match. I had the favorites on last week. Of course, I'm referring to Roger Kirby's Syndicate, Rob Fuller, Jimmy Golden, Dream Machine and Kerry Brown. That was a great show. UGH, this week, I have their opponents as my guests. Joining me now is Blackjack Mulligan, Bob Armstrong, Jerry Blackwell and The Spoiler. Cheers as the 4 men walk out. Britton: (listens to the cheers) So much for the fans taste. Anyways, do you guys think you really stand a chance against a Syndicate? Fuller, Golden, Dream Machine and Brown run out and attack! Brenda screams and flees. Fists are flying! Everybody is brawling! Armstrong grabs Fuller and hurls him into the Beauty Shop sign! Spoiler clamps the claw on Dream Machine! Mulligan slams Golden and stomps away. Blackwell and Brown fight and both men crash through the back drop set! Pure chaos! Brenda crawls over and picks up the mic. "Toooodles!" Brenda tosses the mic as several officials and wrestlers try to break this up. Commercial Break AWA World Tag Team Champs Jumbo Tsuruta and Tatsumi Fujinami vs. Trent Watkins and Arnie Goldstein Jumbo hits a crashing knee drop from the top rope and tags in Fujinami. Fujinami executes the Dragonplex for the win. The fans cheer as Jumbo and Fujinami hold the AWA titles high. Boos as the Vin Man walks out. He snatches the mic from Resnick and heads into the ring. Vin: Yo! Soon to be former world champs, how's it going? Jumbo and Fujinami give each other puzzled looks. Vin: Geez, what was I thinking? You clowns can't speak English. Alright look, as you can see, I'm out here alone. (puts up the peace sign) Just wanted to officially introduce myself. I'm the Vin Man, yeah! And I'm the manager of the future AWA world tag team champs, Gold Standard! I'm here just to say, it's going to be an honor to beat you for the titles. And when we do, we've decided to have a parade in Japan, just to show our strong belief in foreign relations. So, we would like you guys to drive us while we hold the titles up and wave to all our new fans in the Orient. What do you say? Jumbo and Fujinami say something to each other, then put Vinnie down with a double chop! The fans go nuts. Commercial Break Dave Taylor w/Johnny Smith vs. Bill Kazmaier w/Brad Rheingans The fans get a slugfest! Taylor hits some brutal European uppercuts while Kazmaier comes back with some stiff forearm blasts. Tempers flare on the outside and before we know it, Rheingans and Smith are fighting around the ring. The Ref gets distracted by the outside fight. Kazmaier hoists Taylor up for a suplex but Gama Singh runs in and clips Kaz behind the knee. Scott Putski hits the ring and pounds away on Gama. Taylor staggers up and nails Putski. The Ref turns around and sees the 2 on 1 attack. In a state of confusion, the Ref signals for the bell and declares it a no contest. The ringing of the bell doesn't stop the fighting. Will all this get settled at Big Brawl? Commercial Break Resnick: Certainly, tensions are running high as we head into Big Brawl. On that note, my guest at this time is the Superfly, Jimmy Snuka. Huge ovation as Snuka flashes them the "I love you" sign. Resnick: Jimmy, at Big Brawl, it's you and Colon in a Caribbean Death match. I'm sure you saw the eerie setting earlier and heard the threatening words of Curtis Iaukea. I believe Carlos Colon is out of his mind. Snuka: Carlos Colon must pay for what he did to Ricky Steamboat! Nothing will stop me! Curtis Iaukea speaks with ominous words, but he does not intimidate me. Carlos Colon does not intimidate me! I have been through wars in the ring and this is a war I will win. Colon! The clock ticks forward and the Superfly gets closer! Your time has come! Commercial Break "Unpredictable" Dick Slater, TV Champ Nick Busick, the Bruise Brothers and "Dynamite" DJ Peterson vs. Warren Coolidge, Maurice Thorpe, Alvin Wright, Ronald Norse and Harold Heinz Jerry Jarrett is on commentary. Team Jarrett mows over their opponents. Bruise Brothers hit a double clothesline. Peterson hits a diving shoulder block from the middle ropes. Slater hits a neckbreaker. And Busick finishes things off with the Spinebuster Slam! Resnick: My goodness! Jerry Jarrett, your team looks unstoppable. Jarrett: Ken, this is a powerhouse team if I've ever seen one. Look, I respect all of the wrestlers on team Gagne, and they are indeed tremendous wrestlers. It's a shame it had to come down to this but here we are. At Big Brawl, this match is for all the marbles. My team is loaded and ready to go. Verne, we settle this once and for all at Big Brawl!

The Cow Palace fans got a good card tonight. Pillman vs. Sabu is a great opener. Pillman gets the crowd warmed up. Black Gold and Bomb Squad go the limit. Nice tag team showcase here. Victory wins the battle of the Jacks. OMG continues his winning ways. Props to Konnan for putting up a fight. Hennig always had a sweet lariat. Orton found that out. Sheepherders seem to be winning the war against TDT. Rose is a smart man acquiring Grizzly. Grizzly impresses but it's Rose who gets caught. To be continued. Windham and TNT give us a Aloha preview as they battle to a fighting double c.o.

Mean Mike puts Cactus down, but it looks like Burke has some interest in Cactus. Eddie and Art can't get enough of each other. Can't wait to see them go one on one. Once again, Warrior tells Hart NO! I don't think Hart will be as nice next time. Rose better pick up Grizzly asap. The man's tearing it up right now. Odd Couple pick up another win. Finlay seems to be changing his ways and Easy Ed has noticed. Oh no, RPG with the Gantner's! Very interesting. LOL, I'm looking forward to RPG in Pacific. Backlund is working wonders with Young. Owen's CA title reign might be in trouble.

Very realistic card at the High School. The fans in attendance got a treat with that tag team main event. Haystacks debuts in Richmond with a devastating win over 3 men! Nice to see him back in the game. 2 young teams, S&S/Radiance get a chance to show their stuff. S&S come out on top. Damn! With some help from Slick, Ritter really puts down Irwin! TV champ Wright gets his biggest win to date over Adonis. Adias is another guy I'm glad to see back in the game. Dundee, Street and Haystacks might be the sleeper team in the upcoming tournament. Street was right, Haystacks is nothing but dangerous. Wright is on the roll of a lifetime. First Adonis, then Ritter. This man is legit! Duggan and Borne is a brawler's dream match. WOW! I knew a cage match had to be coming. Road Warriors finally get their big win over the Andersons. NEW CHAMPS! Very well built up story that had a great pay off. I could imagine the pop.

Great set up show to St. Valentine's Day Massacre! Spartanburg Vice and Mega Man are entered. Adonis is perfect for Radiance. These colorful characters might pull it off. Brickhouse and Good & Plenty are defiantly the feel good team of the tournament. The chops are coming with Wahoo and the War Party! The Superstar and The Exotic one together again! If Street says their partner is the most dangerous man in England, that's big trouble for the other teams. Damn! Savage and Borne in a dog collar match! Massacre indeed! Duggan and The Road Warriors might be the favorites. However, the Russians would argue that. We're in for a tremendous night of action!

AWA @ The Ellis Auditorium 2-6-87 The Teamsters (Richard Charland and Spike Huber) defeated Two Local Talents- Huber executed an airplane spin and Charland followed with an inverted piledriver "Wrangler" Nelson Royal defeated Gene Ligon with a belly to back suplex Scott "Powerhouse" Putski defeated Gama Singh with an inside cradle The Spoiler and Dream Machine w/Roger Kirby fought to a Double DQ The British Bombers defeated The Olympians- Smith hit Kazmaier with a knee to the back (from the apron), Kazmaier staggered into a spinning forearm blast by Taylor. Manny Fernandez w/Grizzly Boone defeated RPM Tommy Lane w/JT Southern by DQ- Southern was going to hit Manny with the guitar but Grizzly stopped that. Unfortunately, RPM Mike Davis ran into the ring and nailed Manny causing the DQ. RPMs double teamed Manny until Grizzly hit the ring. Grizzly double clotheslined the RPMs but when he turned around, Southern blasted him with the guitar. The RPMs grabbed Manny and held him while Southern gave him a guitar shot. Just how many more guitar shots can Cabin Fever take? "Unpredictable" Dick Slater defeated Greg Gagne- Mike Graham came to ringside and hopped on the apron but Slater swung Gagne into him. Slater then rolled up Gagne for the 1..2..3! Robert Fuller and Jimmy Golden w/Roger Kirby defeated "Bullet" Bob Armstrong and Blackjack Mulligan- Kirby tried to get involved but Mulligan ran after him. While that was going on, Golden hit Armstrong with a loaded towel allowing Fuller to cover and get the tainted win. BOOOOOO!

An exciting new team is always a great way to get the crowd warmed up. I love Idol on the mic. However, not sure it's a good idea messing with Race. Spivey takes down the Grappler, then has a stare down with Brown. Brown follows with a ghetto blaster win over the Iceman. Spivey might be in for some bad news. I was hoping for a Rockers/Nasty Boys finals, and it's going to happen. Awesome showcase for Scott Steiner. Race proves his tank isn't empty yet by beating Landel. One step closer to Idol. Nasties and Rockers deliver! Nice spot with Michael's bleeding, shows the Nasty Boys can get ruthless. The tone is set for the tag team division. Jimmy Jam has arrived! But hold on, so has Chris Adams! Instant feud. Gotta love it. Big time main event! Really liked the match description. Solid finish as Idol proves he's a legit champ, while Race gets a shining moment. Great set up. See you in Rockford!

Jack goes down to Burke but might have earned himself a spot in the Army. US Steel is getting closer to a decisive win over Orton. This time it's the Knight's looking at Warrior. Hennig earns his stripes with the Brigade. However, this fight is far from over. Youngsters Barr and Eddie might have to go one on one to get it out of their systems. Red vs. Easy Ed ends in chaos which leads to an announced NO DQ 6 man tag. Garvin's home. I know Pillman and Chavo tore it down. Yep, the TDT/Sheepherders ending was no surprise. No doubt, Eddie learned a lot from St. Clair. Damn, Big Bubba looked awesome! Odd Couple take the Midnight's to the limit in a thriller. Grizzly proves his worth to Rose but now has to deal with the fury of Texas Red. British Steel has fallen on hard times. I would have paid to see that Hart Foundation/Wild Bulls match. Backlund must've been proud of his boy Young. Windham gets sprayed again! Can't wait for their match in Hawaii. Damn good finish by Owen to retain. Aloha Spectacular looks stacked!

Good storytelling with Velvet. Even though she retained, it's clear she needs to get her focus back. Wow, Singh and Bennet send a strong message to the tag team division. 6-Woman cage match on free TV...OH YEA! Hard hitting and lots of action. Richter proves once again why the WWW revolves around her. Great show! I like the direction you're going.

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 2-4-87 Lance Russell: Hello everybody and welcome once again to AWA Major League Wrestling. Well, we're just two weeks away from our next closed circuit event, Big Brawl. Tonight, you will see a lot of talent who will be competing at that tremendous event, including the Bruise Brothers, Scorpio, Gold Standard, Bob Armstrong, Mike Rotunda and Carlos Colon. Nick Busick defends the AWA TV title against Jesse Barr. Listen to this major announcement. The AWA board members have decided to retire the National title. However, at Big Brawl, the AWA International title will be introduced. The match between El Canek and Yoshiaki Yatsu will now be for the AWA International title. Both men will be here tonight for a special presentation. At Big Brawl, Tommy Rich will defend the AWA world title against Buzz Sawyer. On that note, let's go to the ring. "Mad Dog" Buzz Sawyer vs. Todd Rooney Sawyer is his usual brutal self as he just mauls poor Rooney. Sawyer finishes him off with a powerslam! Boos as Baby Doll comes out and waves to Sawyer. Sawyer looks at her. WHAM! Tommy Rich hits the ring and blasts Sawyer over his head with the world title belt! Rich puts the boots to Sawyer, hoists him up and piledrives him down! Rich puts his boot on Sawyer's chest and raises the title high as the fans boo. Baby Doll smiles and applauds. Commercial Break "Bullet" Bob Armstrong vs. Ray Glader The fans love Bob and cheer him on as he wins the match with a sleeper. Resnick: Bullet Bob, welcome to the AWA. You arrived last week and are now heading into that big 8 man steel cage tag match at Big Brawl. Your thoughts? Bob: When Blackjack Mulligan called and said he needed some help, I was more than willing. When he told me Fuller and Golden were involved, well that more than sealed the deal. Fuller! We've been up and down the road many times and I can't wait to do it again. I'm coming for you at Big Brawl! Commercial Break Gold Standard w/The Vin Man vs. Vic Dutro and Willie Lopez Vinnie applauds his team as they win the match with a double hot shot! Ron Ritchie joins his stablemates at ringside. Resnick: At Big Brawl, AWA World tag team champs, Jumbo Tsuruta and Tatsumi Fujinami will defend the titles against Gold Standard. Vinnie, I'm sure you have something to say. Vin: Rezzy, my guys got this. Just look at them. Muscular, athletic, glistening tans, blonde hair. They're like Greek Gods. They just look like champions. Oh, and they speak English. Resnick: Like I've said before, Tsuruta and Fujinami get the job done where it counts, in the ring. Vin: Yea? So do my guys. Why do you think they're called Gold Standard? Ritchie: You're a moron, Rezzy! Commercial Break Inside the ring, the AWA International title is set on a table. Resnick: Ok, we all heard the announcement earlier. At Big Brawl, El Canek and Yoshiaki Yatsu will wrestle for the new AWA International title at Big Brawl. At this time, I understand, Mr. Yatsu has prepared a special presentation for El Canek. Yatsu bows to Resnick, then bows to Canek. As Canek bows, Yatsu throws a handful of salt in Canek's eyes, then follows with a karate kick to the head! Yatsu hoists Canek up and gut wrench suplexes him through the table. Massive boos as Yatsu picks up the International title. Resnick is shocked but quickly exits when Yatsu threatens to hit him with the title. Commercial Break The Bruise Brothers vs. Carl Kellerman and Trent Watkins Snowman swings Watkins hard into the turnbuckles. Watkins staggers out as Cameron swings off the ropes and blasts him with a double axehandle to the back for the decisive win! Bruise Brothers cut a promo and say at Big Brawl they're looking for a clean sweep! Commercial Break "Captain" Mike Rotunda vs. Arnie Goldstein Rotunda looks impressive in his AWA debut. He puts on a solid wrestling clinic before winning the match with the Penalty (STF) Resnick: Very impressive win Mike Rotunda. You've been appointed Captain of team Gagne for that big 10 man elimination tag bout. The stakes are high. Rotunda: And that's exactly why they've chosen me as Captain. I've been a leader all my life and now it's my duty to make sure Verne Gagne gets sole control of the AWA. The AWA needs to get back to its wrestling roots. Therefore, it needs to be run by a wrestler. Mr. Gagne, I'll make sure that happens. Commercial Break Carlos Colon w/Curtis Iaukea vs. Sam Smith Iaukea watches in delight as Colon rips his opponent apart. Colon hits the diving clothesline from the top rope for the win. Iaukea throws Colon his kendo stick. Colon shows no mercy as he just beats Smith with it. Colon puts the kendo stick under Smith's chin and clamps on the camel clutch! Thundering cheers as JIMMY SNUKA steamrolls over Iaukea and hits the ring! Snuka pounds away on Colon, then sends him flying through the ropes with a jumping headbutt! Colon and Iaukea stagger up and stagger out as Snuka and the Ref attend to Sam Smith. Commercial Break The camera zooms in on the glowing pink "Beauty Shop" sign, then pans down to Brenda Britton. Britton: Hi everybody and welcome once again to the highest rated segment in wrestling, the Beauty Shop. Boy, do I have a treat for all of you. Not that you deserve it. My guests tonight are Roger Kirby and his Syndicate. Boos as Kirby, Rob Fuller, Jimmy Golden, Dream Machine and Kerry Brown stroll out. Britton: Roger, at Big Brawl, your Syndicate will be going up against that no good Blackjack Mulligan, that stooge, the Spoiler, Jerry Fatwell and that old timer Bob Armstrong. Wow, this is a mismatch, if I've ever seen one. Kirby: (Laughs) Brenda, I couldn't agree more. This here is a well oiled machine, a unit, and of course a syndicate. Tell her boys. Fuller: You know, I heard that washed-up, broken-down Bob Armstrong talking about he's coming after me in the cage. Armstrong, you never were very smart. I would think you would be tired of me whoop'n up on you by now. Well son, I aint tired of doing it. Come Big Brawl, I'm going to take pleasure in beating you up some more. Golden: Mulligan! Enjoy the next couple of weeks cuz come Big Brawl, I'm going to make sure you're never the same. Dream Machine: Spoiler! There's only one man worthy of wearing a mask and that's me babay! In the cage, your mask is coming off and I'm going expose that ugly face of yours! Brown: That just leaves you Fatwell! You've been a pest for months. At Big Brawl, you get a one way ticket out of the AWA! Kirby: You see Brenda, the Syndicate is very well prepared. Britton: Well, I wouldn't bet against you. Until next week, toooodles! Commercial Break Footage is shown from a few weeks ago when Nelson Royal attacked Scorpio and tied him up with his rope. Scorpio vs. Vance Ryder Scorpio finally makes his official debut and man does he impress with his high flying skills. He wins the match with an exciting flying leg drop from the top rope! Resnick: Scorpio! Nothing short of outstanding. I know you have a score to settle with Nelson Royal at Big Brawl. Scorpio: You got that right! Nelson embarrassed and humiliated me. Big Brawl is going to be a big pay off for me! Commercial Break Resnick: With me right now is Gerry Morrow and his team the Top Dollar Phils. Gerry, I've been told that your Top Dollar Phils aren't the only team debuting at Big Brawl. Morrow: (wearing a white tuxedo and sunglasses) Whatever are you talking about? Resnick: Well, at Big Brawl, your guys will be facing another debuting team. Let's take a look at some footage from Florida featuring the Glamour Boys! Quiet Riot's Metal Health plays as Glamour Boys highlights are shown. Morrow: (long pause) How dare you! Dis was suppose to be my time with de Top Dollar Phils. Instead, you try to overshadow dat with footage of a couple of females? Don't think for one second they will overshadow us at de Big Brawl. Dis is my million dollar team. We will not lose to a couple of long haired hippy gals. Thinking about dis now makes me laugh. Those girlies time in de AWA will be short lived. (looks at the Phils) Boys, I am preparing a post match victory gala. De best you will ever attend. Apollo and Lafon (BTW, are wearing fur coats, top hats, gold chains and sunglasses) smile and high five. Morrow: Resnick, you are looking at de team of de future and I see gold in dat future. HAHAHAHA! Commercial Break AWA TV Title Bout Nick Busick (C) vs. "Bulldog" Jesse Barr Both men will be on opposing teams at Big Brawl and this match might shake things up. Barr attacks at the bell and works over Busick. Busick fires back with some power moves. Things get heated and these guys start trading some hard shots. Barr rakes the eyes and swings Busick into the corner. Barr runs in but Busick charges and clotheslines Barr down. Boos as Greg Gagne and Mike Graham strut out and yell up at Busick. Busick goes to the ropes and invites them in. Barr sneaks up and lowblows Busick. Busick falls through the ropes. Gagne and Graham start stomping on Busick as the Ref calls for the DQ. Cheers as the Bruise Brothers run out and pound away on Graham and Gagne! Barr goes out and clips Snowman from behind. DJ Peterson runs out and pounds away on Barr. Norman Smiley runs out and nails DJ. Mike Rotunda comes out but so does Dick Slater! Everybody is fighting! Pure chaos! Commercial Break Resnick: (Catches his breath) Tensions at an all time high tonight. Coming out now is Verne Gagne and Jerry Jarrett. Gentlemen, things got out of control pretty quick. Verne: This is exactly the chaos I'm talking about. This is exactly what needs to stop. And this is exactly why I need the AWA back. Jarrett: Hold on Verne. With all due respect, it's been your team causing all the problems. I know you saw the same thing I did. Verne: Don't you dare put this on me. This happens weekly on your watch. My team is just trying to bring some order around here. I guarantee, after Big Brawl, I'm going to bring some much needed law and order around here. Jarrett: You know something Verne, I don't think my team is going to let that happen. A pissed off Verne storms off. Jarrett shakes his head and walks off. Resnick: At Big Brawl, this gets resolved. My goodness, this was one intense night. I'll see you next week.

Wright is brining serious credibility to the TV title. JJ and the Andersons pull one over on the Road Warriors. I'm hoping this gets settled in a cage. Yamada rightfully earns a world title shot by eliminating Ritter. The Exotic One has arrived! After that match, I'm sure we're going to get more of Jayhawks/Outlaws. JJ's at it again as he helps Tully retain over Yamada. Good & Plenty vs. Fire and Flame. I just love the sound of this match up. Slick with Ritter. What a combo. I agree with Lowblow, I bet Duggan had his face painted. If you want a big gate, book Dusty vs. Flair. JJ's miscue costs Flair. The story continues. Another solid loop.

So happy to see Good & Plenty find a home. Such a fun team. Just like that, Paul Jones is out. If he was the only one holding Matt Borne back, Randy Savage might be in serious trouble. The Polynesian Prince gets in a solid showcase. Hmmmmmm, I wonder who this guy is, hanging out with Whatley and Conway? The American Dream is back on NWA TV babay! You really nailed that promo. Dream vs. Tully is nothing but money! Worldwide gets instant credibility with Gordon hosting. Good grief! Awesome debut for Stan Hansen! Nice booking him against Earthquake Ferris. Stan putting a big man like Ferris down, makes his debut that much more impressive.

Really enjoying this format. Hot Stuff Inc. continues to get over, especially Missy. It's amazing that you've kept the Watts/Ladd feud going and always giving it a fresh spin. Nice work. Oh yea, more Freebirds vs. RnR! Jake knocks down another domino. Things are starting to get intense. Can Jake pull it off? Man, Sullivan is really trying to bring the beast out in Vader. Can't wait to see which way Vader goes. Armstrong is rock'n the TV title. I would've loved to have seen that match with Muta. Once again, great job putting importance on the TV title. These Demolition-Williams/Gordy power matches have been awesome. Also, Cox is getting over big time with his involvement. WHOA! What's up with Lawler??? Very, very interesting. The road to Superblast is going to be a super blast!

AWA @ The Cook Convention Center 1-30-87 "The Japanese Fury" Yoshiaki Yatsu defeated Gene Ligon with a bridging back suplex Cabin Fever defeated Soldat Ustinov and Gama Singh by DQ- It was originally scheduled to be Cabin Fever vs. The RPMs but apparently the RPMs were having travel issues and couldn't make it. Cabin Fever was in control when somehow the RPMs and JT Southern made it to the building. They hit the ring and did a 3 on 2 attack which once again led to Southern blasting Cabin Fever with guitar shots while the RPMs held them. Blackjack Mulligan defeated Jimmy Golden w/Roger Kirby. Kirby was on the apron when Mulligan swung Golden into him, then swung Golden to the ropes and hit the diving back elbow smash for the win. "Unpredictable" Dick Slater and the Bruise Brothers defeated Greg Gagne, Mike Graham and Jesse Barr by c.o. when members of team Gagne decided to just walk away. These guys better get it together by Big Brawl. The Dream Machine and "Pitbull" Kerry Brown w/Roger Kirby defeated The Spoiler and Crusher Blackwell- Kirby tossed Dream a pair of brass knuckles. Spoiler had Brown covered when Dream came off the middle turnbuckles with a brass knuckles shot on Spoiler's head. Blackwell pounded Dream into the corner while Brown rolled over and covered Spoiler for the tainted win. AWA World Tag Team Title Bout Jumbo Tsuruta and Tatsumi Fujinami (C) defeated The Teamsters- Teamsters gave the champs a hard hitting fight but, in the end, Jumbo sent Charland flying with a high knee while Fujinami executed a Dragon Plex on Huber for the win! "Bullet" Bob Armstrong and Rob Fuller w/Roger Kirby battled to a NO CONTEST- These guys went at it with fists flying. Both men were bleeding and still pounding away on each other when all hell broke loose. Eventually Mulligan, Spoiler, Blackwell, Golden, Brown and Dream Machine all ended up fighting in and around the ring. The match was thrown out but they gave the fans a few more minutes of hard hitting action.

Cactus Jack is getting noticed. Red shows Finlay some respect. Dingo Warrior remains a lone wolf. Payne and Humongous, now that's a frightening duo. Seems like a pretty smart move by Grizzly. Let's see if it works out. The AWA misses Curt Hennig but I have a feeling he's going to win some gold in Pacific. Tenta gets a lot of credibility with that win over Gantner. Vancouver, Mr. Backlund once again sets an example to the Knights. Good weekend for Hennig. I've always loved Gantner's finisher. RON GARVIN is back! Knocking OMG down with a punch is one hell of a way to return. The fan's get their money's worth with a lights out match. Devastating move by the Sheepherders. Kelowna, Young Eddie is gaining some valuable experience. Backlund's mentoring is really working. I'm enjoying this story. Yea, I think Black Tiger has defiantly earned himself a LHW title shot. Candido' might be in trouble. US Steel does a great job countering Bubba and might have helped get the Odd Couple a title shot.

The stakes are high for this month's Supercard. TV champ Velvet carries her hot momentum into the main event. OH YEA! Richter and Medusa tear it up. Nice win for Richter as she earns a main event spot. Moretti's incredible comeback story continues with a big win over the monster Singh. The heat is on between Moretti and Richter. Misty and Heidi have been the hottest team in WWW. It all pays off, because tonight, they become champs! Huge main event! These 4 woman were on their A games and gave the fans a ton of excitement. The finale couldn't have played out better. Moretti gets the sweetest pay off ever by eliminating Richter and standing tall as champion! Awesome feel good moment!

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 1-28-87 Footage from the Met Center is shown as Rip Morgan defeats Billy Jack in a chain match. Lance Russell: Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of AWA Major League Wrestling. Tonight you will see DJ Peterson take on Norman Smiley. Scott Putski goes one on one with Gama Singh. Big tag team match up as The Olympians will go up against current rivals, the British Bombers. Both Jerry Jarrett and Verne Gagne will announce the final members of their Big Brawl teams. AWA World Champion Tommy Rich will be here. All that and a lot more. Let's go to the ring. Lightning Strike vs. Vic Dutro and Willie Lopez During the match, AWA National Tag Team Champs, Larry Zbyszko and Al Perez were on the aisle scouting the match. Horner hits an atomic drop on Lopez as Allen nails him with a missile dropkick from the top rope for the win! Larry and Al smirk and shake their heads, then hold up their titles while walking back up the aisle. Commercial Break Scott "Powerhouse" Putski vs. Gama Singh Both of these guys are coming off some tough losses and both want to get back on the winning track. Putski starts off quick with some arm drags followed by some hip tosses and dropkicks. A frustrated Gama rolls out of the ring. Gama slowly gets on the apron. Putski runs over but Gama rakes his eyes and snaps him on the top rope. Gama continues to work Putski over with choking, stomping and kicking. Gama swings Putski to the ropes and clamps on the sleeper! Putski fights it and both men end up falling through the ropes. They stagger up. Putski charges but Gama back drops him back into the ring just as the Ref hits 10! Gama is furious when he sees the Ref raise Putski's arm. Gama gets in the ring and charges, but this time Putski back drops him and dropkicks Gama out of the ring! Commercial Break Footage from last week is shown as Buzz Sawyer wins the battle royal. Rich tries to jump Sawyer but Sawyer powerslams him over! Resnick: Fans, coming out now is the current AWA World Champion, Tommy "Wildfire" Rich along with Baby Doll. Boos as Tommy and Baby Doll come out. Tommy looks a bit more serious tonight. Resnick: Tommy Rich, after what happened last week, you will now be defending the AWA World title against a man you know quite well, Mad Dog Buzz Sawyer. That goes down at Big Brawl. Baby Doll: Thank you for enlightening us Resnick. Now shut up and turn the time over to the greatest world champion in wrestling today. Resnick: Ok, Tommy, go right ahead. Rich: It's obvious to me all those suits on the committee have painted a target on my back. They're just mad because I sent that loser Lawler packing and then I defeated their beloved Ricky Steamboat for this here title. I dethroned the King and slayed the Dragon! So now they think I'm going to get comeuppance from Buzz Sawyer. HA! Well, guess what? That ain't gonna happen! Buzz knows I ain't scared of him. Buzz knows I've whooped his ass more than anybody! Come Big Brawl, the only one who's going to bleed is that filthy dirty animal Buzz Sawyer! WHAM! Resnick and Baby Doll get out of there as Buzz Sawyer pounds away on Rich! Rich fights back and both men fight all around the ring. A swarm of security runs out to pull them apart. Commercial Break Soldat Ustinov vs. Todd Rooney Soldat squashes his opponent and finishes him off with a vicious clothesline! Soldat gets more heat as he swings the Russian Flag over his fallen opponent. Commercial Break "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka vs. Ray Glader The fans are up and cheering as Snuka stands on the top turnbuckles, flashes the "I love you" sign and hits the Superfly Splash for the win. Resnick: Jimmy Snuka, at Big Brawl it's you and Carlos Colon in a Caribbean Death Match. That match is Colon's specialty. Your thoughts? Snuka: It takes a savage to beat a savage. What Colon did to my good friend Ricky Steamboat was unforgivable and now he must pay a price. Colon, I'm going to unleash hell on you brutha! Commercial Break Resnick: Welcome back fans, joining me now are Verne Gagne and the wrestlers who will be representing him at Big Brawl. Greg Gagne, Mike Graham, Norman Smiley and Jesse Barr. Verne: Take a look at this unit Resnick. I have the finest group of wrestlers in the world. Later tonight, Jerry Jarrett is going to get a taste of what his boys are up against at Big Brawl when Sir Norman Smiley gives DJ Peterson a pure wrestling lesson. Resnick: It is a fine group indeed. Greg, I understand you want to announce your 5th and final member. Greg: If you don't mind, I would like to address my father and not you Resnick. (Looks at Verne) Dad, with the help of Mike Graham, we have put together an unbeatable team. A team that will guarantee you sole control of the AWA. Last week I said there are no egos here. Tonight, I'm going to prove that. We all talked and decided to bring this man in as our Captain. Dad, this man was an All-American Collegiate wrestler at the University of Syracuse. He's also been the leader of another wrestling faction out in the Pacific. I give you Captain Mike Rotunda! Rotunda walks out wearing his Syracuse letterman's jacket. He smiles and shakes hands with his teammates. Verne: Unbelievable! The final piece of the winning puzzle is complete. Mr. Rotunda, it's a pleasure and honor, welcome. Verne and Mike shake hands. Rotunda: Thank you Verne and the honor is mine. I promise to help this team and lead them to victory at Big Brawl. Like Greg said, I had some great success in Pacific and I intend on continuing that here in the AWA. Greg: Dad, it's in the bag. Congratulations on getting what's rightfully yours back, the AWA. Verne: (Looks around at his team) Greg, you've gone above and beyond. I can't wait to watch this wrestling showcase at Big Brawl. Commercial Break The Teamsters vs. Carl Kellerman and Trent Watkins Teamsters look like a true team coming out in matching blue jeans, work boots and taped fists. Huber hits an airplane spin on Watkins and tags in Charland. Charland finishes things off with an inverted piledriver! Kellerman goes in to check on his partner but the Teamsters hurl him out of the ring. Commercial Break Resnick: Ok, with me right now is Jerry Jarrett and his Big Brawl team. The Bruise Brothers, TV Champ Nick Busick and DJ Peterson. Jarrett: Ken, like Verne, I look back at these guys and I'm nothing but impressed. Just look at this powerhouse of a team. Resnick: Impressive indeed. Jerry, you saw team Gagne call in their Captain, Mike Rotunda. I understand you have your 5th man ready. Jarrett: I have to admit, getting Mike Rotunda was a very nice grab. Well, I made a call myself and this man was more than ready to help. Ken, I had to be a little unpredictable and this man fits what I'm looking for. Representing team Jarrett at Big Brawl, Dick Slater! Cheers as Slater trots out high fiving his teammates. Resnick: I can't believe it! Dick Slater is on team Jarrett. Slater: You better believe it brother. Back in the USWA days, I had a pretty good run with the National title and Jerry Jarrett treated me very well. So, Jerry, Bruise Brothers, Busick and DJ, I'm standing tall with you and we're going to bring the AWA to Jerry Jarrett. Resnick: Fans, the lines have been drawn and the table is set. This all goes down at Big Brawl. Commercial Break The Olympians vs. The British Bombers The fans get a good hard hitting contest. A few minutes in, for some reason Gama Singh goes to the commentary table and starts going off on Scott Putski. During that time, the Bombers hurl Bill Kazmaier out of the ring. Kazmaier staggers over and bumps into Gama. Gama clotheslines Kazmaier. Rheingans runs over and hits Gama. The Bombers go out and take it to Rheingans. Gama and the Bombers do a 3 on 2 beatdown. The fans cheer as Scott Putski runs out with a chair and swings it around like a madman. Bombers and Gama back off. The Ref throws the match out. Commercial Break The camera zooms in on the glowing pink "Beauty Shop" sign, then pans down to Brenda Britton. Britton: Hi everyone and welcome once again to the highest rated segment in wrestling, the Beauty Shop. Well, I suppose I can't have classy and respectful guests every week but my show must go on. My guests tonight are Manny Fernandez and Grizzly Boone, Cabin Fever. Cheers as Cabin Fever come out wearing jeans, headbands and T-Shirts. Britton: I'm glad you guys got dressed up. I can't help notice the knots on your heads courtesy of the RPMs personal ring entrance guitar player JT Southern. Ouch, that had to of hurt. Grizzly: It takes a lot more than a couple guitar shots form a wannabe rock star to put Cabin Fever down. Manny: That's right Daddy! JT Southern is nothing but the RPMs valet baby. Britton: Hey! We don't do insults on my show. Manny: Fine by us, I'll get right to the point. At Big Brawl, Cabin Fever wants the RPMs and JT Southern in a handicap NO DQ match! Grizzly: Wannabe JT Southern and the RPMs want to play, let's play! Manny: You three got the guts? Cabin Fever sure does! Britton: This is no surprise, but I think you guys are stupider than you look. Big mistake. Oh well, it's your funeral. Until next week toooodles. Commercial Break The RPMs w/JT Southern vs. Sam Smith and Louis Moore Southern jams on his guitar as the RPMs head down the aisle to massive boos. RPMs are gelling tonight and win the match with their Spandex Split! Resnick: I'm sure you boys just heard the challenge made. The three of you versus Cabin Fever in a NO DQ match at Big Brawl. They all laugh. Lane: Oh, we accept! No question and no hesitation! Davis: Hey JT, why don't you play a tune for Cabin Fever. JT starts playing "This is the end" on his guitar Commercial Break Resnick: Fans, next week I understand Yoshiaki Yatsu will perform a special ceremony of sorts and has personally invited his Big Brawl opponent El Canek to attend. I have to say, I'm very intrigued by this. Boos as Nelson Royal comes out. Resnick: Nelson, I know you have a match coming up but since you're out here, I have an announcement for you. After what you did to Scorpio last week, he's challenged you to a match at Big Brawl. Nelson: That kid doesn't have a lick of sense, does he? Yea, I'll give that young'n another beating, if that's what he wants. Let's do it! "Wrangler" Nelson Royal vs. Arnie Goldstein Royal wins the match with a belly to back suplex. Afterwards, Royal ties up his opponent with his rope. Commercial Break "Dynamite" DJ Peterson vs. "Sir" Norman Smiley Gagne and Jarrett agreed to keep their teams away from the ring for this match. Pretty good back and forth match. Smiley uses his technical skills while DJ goes with his power moves. Smiley clips DJ behind the knee and works the knee over. Smiley clamps on a half Boston Crab and really wrenches DJ's knee back. DJ uses all his strength and gets to the ropes. Smiley wrenches some more before breaking. Smiley kicks DJ out of the ring. This actually gives DJ a chance to regroup as he limps around. DJ gets on the apron. Smiley charges but DJ catapults in and nails Smiley with a diving shoulder block. The fans fire DJ up. Smiley staggers up and DJ unloads with punches, swings him to the ropes and back drops him. Smiley staggers up as DJ puts him down with a running clothesline. DJ picks up Smiley and hoists him up for a delayed verticakl suplex. But wait! Mike Graham runs to ringside and distracts the Ref. Greg Gagne runs out, reaches in and trips DJ. Smiley crashes on top. Graham points and yells at the Ref. The Ref runs over and counts (While Greg is holding DJ's foot) 1..2..3! BOOOOOOO! Gagne and Graham get Smiley out of there as the Bruise Brothers and Busick sprint to the ring. Commercial Break Blackjack Mulligan, The Spoiler and Jerry Blackwell are standing in the ring. Mulligan: Hey Kirby! Why don't you and your goon squad get on out here. We've got something to say, faces to faces. Boos as Kirby and his Syndicate (Dream Machine, Kerry Brown, Jimmy Golden and Rob Fuller) come out smiling. Mulligan: Listen up boys! Kirby, you got real cute and enlisted some help. Yea, I know those Sissy boys Golden and Fuller. Fuller: Now you just hold on there Mulligan. There's only 3 sissy boys here and I'm looking at em. And might I add, what a pathetic display you all are. Dream Machine: Tell em babay! Mulligan: Keep smiling Fuller, cuz you gonna love this boy. Myself, Spoiler and Blackwell have been at odds with the Syndicate for months now. You cowards always like fighting dirty. Well, why don't we finish this once and for all? At Big Brawl, let's have an old fashion 8- Man tag match inside a steel cage! The Syndicate look at each other and converse. Mulligan: What's the matter Kirby? You boys yellow? Kirby: You know Mulligan, you're not the brightest bulb, are you? There's only 3 of you, numbskull. Syndicate laugh. Mulligan: Like I said to Fuller, you gonna love this. Meet our partner at Big Brawl! "Bad to the Bone" plays over the speakers. The place goes nuts as BOB ARMSTRONG comes out! IT"S ON! Armstong tears into Fuller! Blackwell is all over Brown!

Adonis arrives to the NWA and it's lights out for Simpson. Bad night for S&S as Dundee defeats Jump'n Joe. Wright retains his TV title on the house loop but took some punishment both times. Hmmm, Flair accepts Yamada's handshake. Loving this slow turn for Flair. Like the push Fleming is getting. Big win over Wild Bill. Outlaws and Jayhawks could be one wild feud. WOW! I knew it had to happen sooner or later. DUSTY RHODES is back in the NWA! Game changer. Big Daddy Ritter is looking unstoppable! Duggan takes out Boyd. HOOOOOOOO! Borne deserved that US title shot. Things get nuts between him and Savage. Hopefully this is just the beginning. Another successful loop.
