Continental gets its turn and takes some serious shots at Watts. Crazy to think that just a few weeks ago the entire NWA put together the historic world title tournament. My oh my have things changed. I'm very interested in who Continental will be doing business with in 1987. Bullet gets in one last verbal shot at Wildfire but now has a new enemy in Adrian Adonis. I think Bullet should have given Adonis his blessing for the sleeper. I mean, he did ask nicely. Goliath gets in a good squash, is Bugsy next? Bruno is feeling good until he's informed Taylor will be in the corner of Furnas. Very interesting. LOL, leave it to Slick to calm things down. He's sure confident of this new guy coming in. Slick's the man with a plan. HMMMMM, not like JYD and Olympia to play the silent role. What's going on? Landel's on a roll as he gets his shots in at Watts and calls out all the champions. I know Jerry Jarrett still watches this show. I think he might have to check Ricky Steamboat's schedule. Street's having a wonderful time gloating and messing with Cheeky. Things get real when Madril comes out and leaves Street a bloody mess. I knew this feud wasn't over. More money to be made. Digging the masked Scorpio. Dundee attacks Dutch and Taylor is pissed. Good thing Furnas calmed things down. Christmas Clash is going to end 86 on a high note. Dusty/Brody chain match and a Skywalkers match! Awesome!

Gordon is a very smart man and the Cartel is right. Good things happen to people that obey. Tatum seems to have a problem with Bob Zink LOL. Tempers flare and just like that another match is signed. With a Gordon eye roll, Is there anybody in the game more obnoxious than Tatum? Spoiler and Red better be ready for WAR. Highwaymen get an early advantage over the Glamour Boys. Luscious gives another weirder than weird promo but what creeped me out the most was him calling Duggan, the guy with the big wood. WOW. I could just see Gordon reacting to all this. To the Sports Arena, Estrada isn't satisfied with his win over Lightfoot and wants to burn him again! Thank goodness for the Islanders. He might be obnoxious but Tatum scores the win over Zenk. Cartel/Islanders feud turns up a notch as the Cartel help give the Blondes another title shot. Finally, somebody dodges the mist! Regal gets a crowd pleasing win over Kazaharu. Highwaymen and Glamour Boys whip the hell out of each other! Highwaymen win this round but the Boys seem to want another battle. YES! Love that finish as Backlund puts Luscious away. DAMN! The fans witnessed one of the craziest brawls ever! I thought Spoiler's elimination was brutal but Red might of killed Borne. This was insane! Props to you on this feud. Herc and Duggan really go at it in a pure hard hitting slugfest. Herc solidifies himself as champ with that tough win over Duggan. Now Herc must go from this to Backlund. Talk about devising a whole new game plan. Tremendous week Bleh!

This has been one hot topic! It's been great getting Watts, Crockett and Thatcher's sides of the story. No doubt about it, 1987 is going to be an exciting year for the game. The NWA is in very good hands. Keep up the outstanding work.

AWA releases Ox Baker, Don Kernodle and George Wells.

A lot of stories ended at Battleground and new ones begin tonight. Tony and Hector kick things off with a classic. St. Clair is doing quite well here. I'm very interested in seeing what's next for Cornette and Beautiful Bobby. After a couple of amazing runs in Pacific, Bigelow and Busick say goodbye. Doesn't get any classier than that. 1987 looks very bright for Black Tiger. After weeks of frustration Hollywood Jack and the Bomb Squad kick Smothers out, the hard way. Oh my! The Sheepherders have aligned with the Playboy Club. This is a game changer for Pacific.

Wow, the NWA is crumbling before our eyes. Defiantly the dawning of a new era. UWF is born and Watts goes off on Thatcher and the Crocketts. The Million Dollar Man is going to get massive heat here. However, he's got some heat coming after him named Dr. Death. I know Dibiase has back up but so does Williams. Good grief, Vader and Sullivan are going to wreak havoc on the UWF! I enjoyed the entire transformation of Leon. Pacific did him well. The RPMs are just begging for a beating. They better be careful because right now RnR are riding high. YES! I knew Ladd would be back! Watts better get ready. Only a matter of time before Gordy destroys Hayes. LOL! I wanted it and you gave me the "It's not my fault" line. Gotta love Jimmy Jam and Precious. So happy Reed is world champ again. Good call Watts. Reed will have a tremendous run. Looking forward to the UWF. A lot of exciting stuff going down.

AWA places Giant Haystacks, Dream Machine, Ranger Ross, Porkchop Cash and with great sadness Gerry Morrow on the block.

Moretti says she's ready but a threatening Richter looms. Show kicks off with a bang as we get NEW tag team champs! Giant Slayers take down the Monsters. After that backstage incident, could this be the end of the Monsters? Richter has now gone way off the deep end. Man, that was brutal. Mitchell and Misty might have stolen the show with that exciting match. Big win for Mitchell. Richter is a woman possessed as she lays out Moretti. She's on a rampage tonight. Velvet/Medusa vs. Martin/Kai is a woman's wrestling dream match. 20 minutes of action between 4 of the best. Yea, I would say the fans got their money's worth tonight with that one. Richter's back in the main event spot with Combs. I'll give Combs a lot of credit, it took 3 powerbombs to put her away. After one of the wildest nights I've ever seen by one wrestler, Richter caps it off by regaining the world title! WOW! What a night! All I can say is, I can't wait for the Richter/Moretti showdown. This is one of the hottest feuds in the game right now.

AWA picks up Roger Kirby as a manager

Good way to kick things off with a Scorpio upset. Love the post match writing for Grappler. Billy Joe gets a big win over the World's Strongest Man. Another good learning experience for Furnas. Another classic Jr. Title match. Rematch! Starr Power can't take the heat and take the easy way out. New Breed are moving on up. 2002 baby! Sherri rebounds as the Adorable One beats Bugsy. Cooley comes through with his promise and out fights Leatherface. After the best heel run in the game's existence, Tommy Rich is out of Continental. I bet that pop blew the roof off the place. It was only fitting that Bullet sent Rich packing. At least we got one last Rich promo before the match. I have a feeling Wildfire has a plan. Slick's Stable rides high yet again. Dundee has things going his way until that no good Dirty Dutch interferes. 2 on 1 until Cooley saves the day. Cooley's one solid dude. Another WARGAMES! Let's do it! This one gets bloody and insane quick. Everybody gets to shine and everybody takes a beating. I'm not sure how Madril is going to live this one down as his rival Street makes him submit. I'm glad you went that direction. Awesome card Gene!

I couldn't think of a better way to kick off Starrcade in Georgia with Charlie Daniels. Whoever booked this is a genius. Foley gets in his heat as Benoit opens the show with a win over Wright. Poor Brad. Just by showing up he loses his job in Continental. Then he gets ambushed by Radiance. Shenanigans give Jimmy Jam the win. Now's the perfect time for him to use his "It's not my fault" catchphrase LOL. I'll give US Steel credit, they made the most of their opportunity but they were in there with the Andersons. No shame. Crowd popping moment as Johnson retains and him and Murdoch send the Bad men packing. I agree, I know Watts loved this. I need a follow up Ladd promo LOL. That trash compacter through the table might be the finish of the night. NO WAY! Dibiase turns! Could this be the birth of the Million Dollar Man? Wait! There's more! Gordy runs out and the masks come off! And now Demolition is born. What a moment! I would love to see Nikita and Gordy go at it again and again. However, Gordy is going to be busy going after those no good Freebirds. I'm all for Gordy and Williams teaming up and wrecking havoc. WARGAMES! OH YEA! This was the bloody brawl I thought it would be and more. Sullivan goes to town with his golden spike but Luger gets the most satisfying win as he makes Sullivan submit. However, the evil Sullivan gets the last laugh with a wicked fireball to Luger's face. Another story begins. Great match. I had a funny feeling about the World title match and I can't believe it. I really thought Reed had it when Baby Doll hesitated. Then I remembered that when you mess with one horsemen you mess with 4. Throw Fergie into this and Tully is now the NWA world champion. I'm bummed out that Reed's reign ended this quick. The flip side is this sets up a new Horsemen dynamic. Very interesting. Great job NWA! Starrcade was a hit.

Night 2! Here we go. Rotunda tried hard but OMG is just to much. St. Clair and Muta was another key match I was looking forward to. These guys delivered and in the end my man St. Clair pulls it off. Brickhouse Brown felt the wrath of a focused Hollywood Jack. This could be the start of something big for Jack. Black Gold pull off an impressive win but the celebration is short lived as the Sheepherders return to town and give them a beating. Finlay and Tiger are both on their game tonight. Finlay is just able to pull out the win. Bam Bam and Avenger go at it full force. Happy ending as Bam Bam sends Avenger packing. Strange circumstances follow as Sullivan shows up to take Avenger home. I loved this entire arc. I remember when Sullivan took Leon White and I can only imagine what's next. Bigelow is now a true hero in Pacific. Gilbert and Orton are two guys I could watch wrestle forever. Glad Missy finally showed up and it looked like Eddie was to. Yamada/Hase-Guerreros might've stolen the show with that gem of a match. Nice win for the Guerreros. I know this catchphrase is years away but DAMN! Simmons and Hansen put on the ultimate hard hitting match. Tremendous win for Simmons! Simmons will be the guy to watch in 87. WHOA! I did not see that finish coming. British Steel put down the Midnights and win the titles! Condrey is gone and the Midnights are no more. I can't wait to hear Cornette's next promo. And the big question is what's next for Beautiful Bobby??? Main event time. Rose gets in his best heel tactics but Windham shows off his resiliency and hangs tough. Windham pins Rose and we have a NEW Pacific champ! This is fantastic because at this time, Windham was becoming one of the best in the world. Looking forward to his reign. Props to all your hard work. I might have to steal the 2 night thing. It works so well.

This is awesome! It's the perfect Starrcade for this era. Every match is must see. Nikita vs. Gordy is the ultimate hard hitting match up. WarGames will be off the charts. Bunkhouse match. Loser leaves town match. Money on the line. Title bouts. Everything you could ask for. I'm going to keep a close eye on the Reed/Tully world title match. I've just got a funny feeling about this one. Can't wait!

Oh man, trouble in the NWA! I think the readers get the best deal here as we get both Starrcade and Thanksgiving Thunder. Not to mention 2 Wargames matches! What a week for Supercards. Cooley gives Leatherface one serious threat. The Adorable One has arrived! I like the Gorgeous George gimmick going here. This will be all sorts of crazy fun. Dusty gives a classic Dream promo for WarGames. This match will get bloody! It's only fitting that Bugsy would want a match with Adonis. Weirdness at its best. Love the "Falling Star" finisher. One match I would defiantly buy a ticket for is Bullet vs. Wildfire. A lot at stake here. Chicky brings up a good point. Not sure I would want to enter a cage with Brody, Abby and Khan. Good grief! Taylor pulling out a little heel move to retain against Furnas. Good learning experience for Furnas. Tommy doesn't care and blasts Johnny with a chain. Grappler joins in with a loaded mask. It's all fun until Bullet makes the save. Thanksgiving Thunder is stacked! Can't wait.

Night 1 has arrived! The fans get to cheer right away as the Odd Couple score an upset over the Vice Squad. TNT shows he's for real as he puts the tough vet Burke down with the Caribbean kick. Brian upsets Chris in the battle of the Adams. Vic Steamboat is defiantly a true friend. Man, Badd Co. just can't get it together. On the flip side, the Bomb Squad are really coming together. I figured Pillman and Hector would go out and put on a show stealing match. I liked the respect given by Hector. Vic gets a payback win over the Outlaw. Adams comes out and shows support. I was really looking forward to the powerhouse match between Iron & Steel and Wild Bulls. These guys delivered but I must admit, I'm sad to see the end of Atlas and Cameron. Loved this feud. WOW! Owen ends the long reign of Smothers! Looks like Smothers and Hollywood Jack are heading for a showdown. Another WOW! Huge upset as Gator and Mega Man defeat the Harts for the CA. titles! Gary is having one rough night. Busick gave Bubba a serious challenge but Bubba retains. I'm not sure Bubba can be stopped. Props on all the hard work and we still have another night coming. The young talent shined tonight which means 1987 is looking bright.

Nice recap by Lightfoot. I'm so looking forward to part 2 of this feud. Things are going to get intense. Blondes are on a roll tonight. "Solmeister" LOL. Reaching for the 10 dollar bill, to funny. I'm not sure Gordon convinced me, there just might be a conspiracy against the Blondes. Regal gives a heartfelt promo. Kazaharu and Akbar better be ready because Mr. Electricity is coming after them. You know a big card is coming if its at the Graham sports stadium. The falls count anywhere match between Spoiler/Red-Sawyer/Borne is going to be chaotic chaos at its best. Which team will survive??? Luscious and company get weirder and weirder each week. Then Backlund tops it with his very bizarre promo. Gordon's expressions and tone said it all. This could be the wackiest feud of the year. Duggan spoils Herc's title coronation! Akbar might of made a big mistake. Even Herc wasn't pleased. The fans are going to get one hell of a main event for the title. In just a short time, you've put together several must see storylines. Great job!

Earthquake Ferris literally makes a splash in his debut. Once again, the Horsemen are oozing confidence. I'm looking forward to Tully vs. Reed at Starrcade. It really is an intriguing match. War Games is going to be off the charts! This feud has been red hot and the blow off is going to be crazy. Will Embry finally get the respect he deserves? IDK, he's in for a big challenge from Brad Armstrong. Mr. Wrestling 2 gets a nice TV win. Solid main event as those dirty Assassins take down Hart's Afire. Onto Norfolk. The battle of the masked teams ends in a draw. Gotta book a rematch! First Vachon and now Stevens. Kamala is running over the old tough vets. Link's behavior always amuses me. Kabuki gets his team the War Games advantage thanks to Link and the dreaded mist. Wahoo will get another chance at Starrcade. Commonwealth get through the Rockers but a huge unification match awaits with the Renegade Warriors. WOW! Didn't see that coming! Harley Race defeats Ric Flair for the MACW title!!!! Harley might be getting up there but no doubt he can still deliver. Once again, Harley's the man! I wonder how Flair will respond to this? Bring on Starrcade baby!

Even though he didn't provide much info on Moretti, it was a fun Patterson cameo. Oh man, Peggy Lee with a breakdown. I wouldn't want to get in her way. Well, didn't take long for Peggy to follow through on her threats. She gets a bit of payback on Richter. Not only that but Combs makes Richter submit! Poor KC, wrong place, wrong time. Richter is racking up the enemies. Velvet has the odds against her but prevails in the battle royal. Velvet's TV title reign has been amazing! Fun show this week.

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 11-19-86 Show opens with footage from an 8-man tag match at the Roanne Fieldhouse as Austin Idol brings a chair into the ring but Jerry Lawler kicks Idol low, grabs the chair and nails Idol over the head with it to give his team the win. Footage is also shown of Ricky Steamboat attacking Carlos Colon with a kendo stick. Lance Russell: Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of AWA Major League Wrestling. Fans, we're just one week away from SuperClash and tonight we'll be talking a lot about that tremendous event. You'll also be seeing Giant Haystacks taking on 3 men. Curt Hennig will be in action as will the Bruise Brothers, Iceman Parsons, the Thunderfoots, TV champ Greg Gagne. Manny Fernandez of Cabin Fever will go one on one with Rip Morgan of the Beasts. Huge main event as the Dream Machine will go up against Crusher Blackwell. And AWA World Champ Ricky Steamboat will be here. Should be a great...ok wait a minute, our National Champion Austin Idol is heading my way. Idol: Lance! Did you see that footage? Did you see Lawler cheat and hit me with that chair? I told you he was nothing but a loser! He's not only a loser but a coward! I've had enough! Lets see how much guts that coward has. At SuperClash, I want to add a stipulation to our match. I want it to be a loser leaves town match! That's right! Who's laughing now Lance? I'm calling that loser out. Idol storms off. Lance: Well, I wasn't expecting that. I'm sure we can find Lawler and get his response. In the meantime, let's go to the ring. The Thunderfoots vs. Renaldo Cruz and Stu Jersky Thunderfoots look tuned up and ready for the SuperClash tag team battle royal. They win the match when Thunderfoot #2 slams Cruz down and Thunderfoot #1 gives him a loaded boot stomp from the middle ropes. Commercial Break Iceman Parsons vs. Roy Glader The fans are up and cheering as Iceman swings Glader to the ropes and hits the Booty Bump for the win. Resnick: Ok, Iceman Parsons, come on over. You certainly have been on a winning streak since arriving to the AWA. However, one Don Kernodle has seemed to have taking a disliking to you. He made the challenge for SuperClash and you accepted. Parsons: Ken, like I said, I have no idea what his deal is with me but... Boos as Don Kernodle walks out. Kernodle: Look, let me get some things straight. There's no doubt in my mind that you're a capable wrestler. But instead of focusing on your in ring skills, you hide behind this clown façade. You come out here and do nothing but cater to these people. It's like you're a puppet and they're pulling your strings. So, I'm taking it upon myself to knock some sense into you and show you what a real wrestler can accomplish. Until SuperClash, best of luck to you and your future. Kernodle walks off. Resnick: Iceman Parsons, care to respond to what you just heard? Iceman takes a deep breath, pauses, looks around, then just walks away. Commercial Break The Bruise Brothers vs. Vic Dutro and Willie Lopez Bruise Brothers are pumped up tonight! Cash swings Lopez to the ropes and puts him down with a diving crossbody/headbutt. Cash tags in Snowman. Snowman hoists Lopez on his shoulder and hits a running powerslam for the win! Resnick: Bruise Brothers, at SuperClash, you will meet the team of Larry Zbyszko and Al Perez in the tournament finals to crown AWA National tag team champions. They seem pretty confident heading in. Snowman: You know Ken, the Bruise Brothers are former world and national champs and brother we want the gold again! They might seem confident but that will all change when Cash and myself get a hold of them. Resnick: Porkchop Cash, I have to ask, how's the knee holding up? Cash: It's no secret that I've had some knee issues recently but I can tell you and all these great people, the knee is good to go and so are the Bruise Brothers! At SuperClash, we're getting the gold back baby! Bruise Brothers high five each other. Commercial Break "The Raging Bull" Manny Fernandez vs. Rip Morgan w/Ox Baker The match never officially begins as Ox and Morgan jump Manny and put the boots to him! Before you know it, Billy Jack, Nord, Snuka and Boone hit the ring and it's an all out fight! The fight goes on for a couple minutes until a commercial hits. Commercial Break Resnick: My goodness, things have finally settled down. I'll tell you what, that tornado match at SuperClash is going to be explosive. Fans in the front row better be on high alert. Speaking of SuperClash, the Fabulous Ones and Rock n Roll Express will face off in match 7 of their best of 7 series. These two teams fought in 6 of the greatest tag team matches I've ever seen. At SuperClash, we'll find out who truly is the better team. On that note, please welcome out the Fabulous Ones. Boos as the Fabs come out looking pretty serious. Lane: Oh yea, everybody is talking about those Fab rip offs coming back and evening up the series. Well let me fill all you idiots in on something. At SuperClash, the better team will prevail and your damn well looking at the better team! Keirn: This works out well for us because now we get to prove ourselves in front of millions of people. We get to prove what we already know. We're the greatest tag team in the world. Fab wannabes, you're going down! Simply as that. Commercial Break Curt Hennig vs. Neil Jordan Hennig toys with his opponent and even slaps him around a few times. Hennig finally puts him away with the fisherman's suplex. Resnick: Curt Hennig, it's you and Brian Adias at SuperClash. It wasn't to long ago when the two of you were AWA world tag team champions. Things obviously went a different direction. Hennig: Stop talking Resnick. We were champs because of me. The only reason we lost the titles was because of him. Oh I heard him talking about administering Texas Justice on me. (wiggles his fingers) I'm really scared. Oooohhhh I'm really shaking. Brian Adias can't lace my boots. At SuperClash, he's going up against a flawless wrestler. I'm going to make him look stupid. I'm going to embarrass him so bad, he'll never want to step foot in a ring again. Brian, get ready for the ultimate humiliation. (pokes Resnick's chest) And you can count on that! Commercial Break The camera zooms in on the glowing 'SuperClash' sign then pans down to Brenda Britton. Britton: Hi everybody and welcome to the final SuperClash update, hosted by yours truly. I have a big scoop for you this week. I literally just got off the phone with Linda Ronstadt. She was in the middle of a concert but when they told her I was on the line, she stopped the show. You see, you people wouldn't understand that but celebrities like us always have time for each other. Anyways, she said she's so excited to see me and sing the National Anthem in front of me. You heard it right here. Now, one match I'm really looking forward to is the ever classy Nick Bockwinkle taking on that dirty working stiff Ron Garvin. Let's hear from both men. Bockwinkle is standing in front of a SuperClash banner wearing a stylish suit. Bock: Ron Garvin, I give you credit. You stood up like a man and wanted this match at SuperClash. You are a tremendous competitor which means this will be a tremendous victory for myself. After I dispose of one Ron Garvin, my eyes are on the AWA world title. Ron Garvin is in a gym, working the heavy punching bag. He stops and looks into the camera. Garvin: Nick Bockwinkle, I've been listening to your backhanded comments. Let me assure you, I've been training harder than ever for our match. I'm not coming to SuperClash to lose and I'm not your stepping stone. I hope you're ready because I know I am. Garvin goes back to hitting the bag. Britton: It seems to me that Nick Bockwinkle is a lot more confident. That Ron Garvin needs to remember, a punching bag doesn't strike back but Nick Bockwinkle sure does. Switching gears, I want to talk about the huge main event. Ricky Steamboat will defend his AWA world title against Carlos Colon. I understand we're going to hear from Carlos in a very different environment. It's nighttime and Carlos Colon is standing in the middle of several torches. Colon: (twirling a kendo stick) So it was only a matter of time before your hero champion reached a breaking point. Now Steamboat wants to enter into a very dark world. You're a very delusional man Steamboat! Colon proceeds to hit himself several times with his kendo stick until he bleeds. Colon smears the blood across his face. Colon: I've shed blood my entire career. Ricky Steamboat, at SuperClash, it will be your blood that is shed! And then I will hold up the world title over your fallen body. Britton: Wow! I got chills! I think Ricky Steamboat is in big trouble. Ricky, I wish you would of respected him because now you're going to pay dearly. It all happens on Friday November 26th at the St. Paul Civic Center also available on closed circuit TV across all the AWA arenas. You wont want to miss it. I know I wont. I'll see you there, toooodles. Commercial Break Giant Haystacks vs. Arnie Goldstein, Warren Coolidge and Maurice Thorpe Haystacks just destroys the 3 men. He slams them down on top of each other, then drops the big elbow for the pin! Haystacks then throws each man to the outside by where Resnick is. Haystacks walks over. Haystacks roars at Resnick and Resnick backs away. Haystacks: Canek! It's over! At SuperClash I will end you forever! Haystacks pushes Resnick out of the way, then picks up each of the 3 men and slams them down on top of each other on the concrete. Haystacks backs up and hits another big elbow drop! Haystacks lets out another roar. Commercial Break We come back and see the AWA world tag team champs Priceless laying on hammocks under palm trees while pretty woman feed them grapes and champagne. Wells: Gerry, you were right. This is my kind of training. Morrow: HAHAHA indeed! I told you, while those other teams wear themselves out during de battle royal we will be well rested. Not only dat, but what makes me laugh is that de winners will also receive 100,000 dollars. Dat is peanuts, nothing but spare change to me. George, It will be de easiest night of our lives. Oh and did I mention, I have rented out a special VIP room. So during de show we will be sitting in our custom spas and sipping de finest champagne brought in from France. Just for our enjoyment. Wells: It's great to be champions and it's great to be us. Morrow: I could not have said it better myself. Priceless reach out and have a toast. Back Live Resnick: I don't know, our AWA world tag team champs might be in big trouble come SuperClash. All the top AWA teams will be competing in the 100,000 dollar battle royal with a world tag team title shot on their minds. On that note, I know the AWA is excited that Jumbo Tsuruta and Tatsumi Fujinami, 2 of Japan's best have agreed to team up for this tremendous event. The competition will be fierce. Let's hear from some other teams involved. Union, Lighting Strike, Richard Charland and Gino Brito, Gold Standard, Olympians and Vin Man's Family all give quick promos to hype up the battle royal. Commercial Break TV Champ The Great Gagne w/Johnny Valiant vs. Fern Willard Gagne hits a high dropkick on Willard, picks him up and clamps on the sleeper for the win. Johnny V runs in the ring, pushes the Ref away and hands Gagne the TV title. Gagne hops on the middle ropes and raises the title as the fans boo. Johnny goes to the outside, grabs the mic from Resnick and hand it up to Gagne. Gagne: That was clearly a message to you Punkski. A focused Gagne is a dangerous Gagne. You wont come close at SuperClash. I'm the professional and you're just a little punk! Valiant: You heard the great one. Punkski, you're out of your league boy. Valiant tosses the mic at Resnick. Commercial Break Resnick: Fans, with me right now is none other than Jerry "The King" Lawler. Huge pop! Resnick: Well Jerry, you heard the challenge laid down by Austin Idol. He wants a loser leaves town stipulation added. Lawler: I heard him loud and clear. Idol, my answer is hell yes I accept! At SuperClash, I get the satisfaction of whipping your butt, taking your National title and sending you out of the AWA with your tail between your legs. The fans start screaming. Lawler turns around and Austin Idol blasts him over the head with his National title! Officials run out to back Idol away and check on Lawler. Massive Boos. Commercial Break Crusher Blackwell vs. The Dream Machine w/Paul Jones Hard hitting match as these guys go to town on each other. Dream gets the upper hand with an eye rake and pounds Blackwell down. Dream stomps away, grabs the top rope and drops several knees on Blackwell. Dream chokes Blackwell on the bottom rope. The Ref pushes Dream away which allows Jones to reach in and choke Blackwell. Dream picks up Blackwell, swings him to the ropes but misses a clothesline, Blackwell comes back and puts Dream down with a bulldozer of a shoulder block. Dream staggers up and Blackwell scoop slams him down. Blackwell swings off the ropes but Jones trips him. Blackwell stumbles then turns around and goes out after Jones. The Ref is distracted by this. Cheers as Blackjack Mulligan his the ring. Dream slowly gets up as Mulligan clotheslines him with a bull rope! Mulligan quickly exits. Blackwell gets in the ring and hits a leg drop on Dream 1..2..3! As soon as Blackwell stands up, KERRY BROWN hits the ring and nails Blackwell with a loaded towel! Vin Man then enters and applauds his man on. Mulligan goes back towards the ring but Jones comes from behind and breaks his cane over Mulligan's back! Mulligan pauses then turns around and stares at Jones. Jones is begging for mercy. Mulligan grabs Jones and lifts him off his feet while choking him. Dream Machine rolls out of the ring, grabs his bull rope with cowbell attached. He staggers over and nails the back of Mulligan's head with the cowbell! In the ring, Brown is stomping away on a knocked out Blackwell while Vin Man nods with approval. Dream starts choking Mulligan with the bull rope. Jones finally gets up, grabs Mulligan's bull rope and starts hitting him with it as Dream chokes him. Commercial Break Lance: My oh my, that was a very chaotic scene. Both Jerry Blackwell and Blackjack Mulligan had to be helped out of here. I hope all those grudges will be resolved at SuperClash. At SuperClash, Carlos Colon will face my guest at this time, AWA World Champ Ricky Steamboat. Fans are up and cheering as Steamboat comes out. He gives them a wave and holds his title high. Lance: I still can't believe the change in Carlos Colon. Ricky, you seemed to have felt all his frustration. However, after seeing what you did to him at the Roanne Fieldhouse, he's felt some of yours. I'm sure you saw that eerie video of him earlier. What's going through your mind? Steamboat: Lance, I've never condoned attacking a man with a weapon. That is not what I'm about and it certainly is not who I am. I did reach a breaking point and I wanted to make a point to Carlos. I will not be pushed around. He talks about respect and yet he's the one who hasn't shown me any. Carlos, I want you to know at SuperClash I will not hold anything back. You're not the only one who has shed blood in this sport. I've shed my share of blood, sweat and tears to be holding this world title. I promise you, at SuperClash I will do whatever I have to do to hold onto to this title and I will go through you to keep it!

Did Mick Foley pull off a win? Yes he did. I will say, he certainly paid his dues this year. Powers of Pain get back on the winning track. Look at that, Brutha's beat the Hangman at their own game. I love this feud. Kamala has been a fun monster attraction. I'm sure the Pretty Boy and Electrifying One gave the fans a solid work rate match. I've always been a sucker for mid card match ups. I know Wahoo wont let Kabuki slide on his interference. That was one hard hitting main event. Only Nikita would want to fight a man with a chair. I would pay top dollar to see Savage and Nikita go at it one on one.

Scorpio and Furnas get the crowd going with a couple nice wins. I'm sure more to come with Cooley and Leatherface. It pays to have a guy like Killer Brooks in your corner. Street makes it past Goliath but I bet many more are lining up to collect. Great job with the battle royal. With so many top notch teams, anybody could've won it. JYD and Olympia are heading to Starrcade! Them vs. The Andersons is defiantly a marquee match. Dundee gets some payback on Dirty Dutch. Bittersweet night for Olympia. I am looking forward to a Brody title run. HAHAHA! I knew Tommy wouldn't be able to stay away. Big night for him as he eliminates his cousins from the battle royal and beats up Bullet. He was fired up!

I cant wait for the Simmons/Hansen explosive confrontation! I wonder what Easy Ed and Fit are up to. OMG is mowing over the competition. Iron & Steel couldn't of picked better opponents to gear up for the Wild Bulls. Busick looks pumped up and ready for his big TV title shot. Badd Co. do a little better this week without Missy. Midnight's retain but I think they got more than they anticipated with the Odd couple. OMG is the difference maker and gives the Playboy Club the big win over the Brigade. I wonder who that fan was getting under Rose's skin? Black Tiger gets the win over Mando in an exciting opener. Orton is the master of the superplex. My man St. Clair racks up another victory over Victory. Just like Busick, Gator and Mega Man are ready for their big title shot. The heat continues between the Adams. Snowbirds and Bomb Squad give the fans their money's worth with a show stealing match. Burke goes down to the Bubba Slam. Will Busick meet the same fate or can he nail Bubba with his Spinebuster slam? We'll find out at Battleground.

RPG's rant on Watts was so good he even got a smile from Thatcher. I think we got some seeds planted for something big. The rebirth of Adrian Adonis? I can't imagine. Brody makes the threat of the week by saying he's going to rip Olympia's mask off with his head still in it. Damn! Why do I have a funny feeling Tommy Rich is up to something. Lots of hype for the tag team battle royal and a lot at stake for the winners. Starrcade will be the place to be. Armstrong Blues sounds like a hit to me LOL. Street better be ready with Goliath coming to collect. Good grief! Leatherface with a chainsaw and Cooley with a chair! That was a scary stand off. Love the hype Furnas is getting. Hey, Madril provided enough proof that he's not behind the bounty. Couldn't be him. No way! Things get serious when Street gets a beatdown. Lucky some friends came to the rescue. Stud, oh wait, I mean Slick's Stable is riding high. We shall see if that continues because they all have big matches coming up in Huntsville. BJT was all over TV tonight and now gets the lucky draw. He looked good but Taylor retains. Taylor's having a pretty damn good TV title run. Next stop, Huntsville.

WOW! Everything comes full circle as Lightfoot returns! Big pop from me. The 2nd war has officially begun. This is going to get crazy! Sabu continues his winning streak. Sawyer/Borne vs. Spoiler/Red was the fight I thought it would be. Sawyer walking around with a trashcan on his head was a nice touch. Borne gets the win with the most brutal lowblow I've ever seen. Red might need some time off after that shot. OUCH! Glamour Boys and Highwaymen remain at a stalemate. I'm sensing a big gimmick match coming. Everybody's favorite team Good and Plenty remain champs. I'm sure the Blondes will find a loophole for another match. Teams are drawn and the Battle of the Bay begins. To much hatred as not a lot of teammates are willing to work together. Zenk takes advantage and gets his team the win. I would of got my money's worth on Tatum's expression. We get a fun final 4 match with some pretty solid scientific exchanges. An apologetic Backlund? HMMMMMM. Herc's strength is to much for Zenk and the Torture Backbreaker wins him the title. Herc as the first champ is a solid choice. He could have a tremendous run here. Good job continuing storylines which will bring in a lot more money.
