The woman are into the Halloween theme tonight! Star Girls kick things off with a bang as they put down Richter and Peggy Lee. Well, we knew it was coming and it did as Richter gives her now former partner a beating. Moretti gets a tougher than expected challenge from Winona but retains her dual titles. Will she have enough left for Combs? Oh yea this cage match had a ton of build and the teams deliver. I think we might get more after that finish. That was a fight! Velvet and Medusa get the DQ win but the Monsters get in some serious blows. Moretti and Combs give the fans 30 action packed minutes. WOW! Combs does the unthinkable and wins the title! What a feel good moment!

OMG! Look at those first round match ups! Battle of the Nature Boys!

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 10-29-86 Lance Russell: Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of AWA Major League Wrestling. Tonight you will see a National tag team title semi final match as The Olympians square off against Larry Zbyszko and Al Perez. Priceless will be here for a world tag team title defense. Ron Garvin will be in action as will Blackjack Mulligan, Don Kernodle, Brian Adias, Iceman Parsons, Kerry Brown and Giant Haystacks. Big time main event as the Rock n Roll Express will take on The Fabulous Ones in match 5 of the best of 7 series. The Fabs have a 3-1 lead and look to wrap this up tonight. Brenda Britton will be here with another SuperClash update. After a wild night in Milwaukee, Jerry Lawler has earned a National title match with Austin Idol. We'll show you footage from Milwaukee followed by comments from Lawler and Idol. Right now I want to take you to footage from the big SuperClash press conference that was held earlier this week in St. Paul. St. Paul Minnesota Sitting behind a long table is Ricky Steamboat (with the AWA world title in front of him), a couple AWA board members, Verne Gagne, Jerry Jarrett, a couple AWA board members and Carlos Colon. Members of the press are packed inside. Jarrett: On behalf of Verne Gagne and the AWA, we want to thank all of you for coming out. As you know, on Friday November 26th, the AWA will present SuperClash. The main event will be Ricky Steamboat defending the AWA world title against Carlos Colon. I will now open the time up for questions. Reporter: Ricky, how's the neck? Will you be 100% by SuperClash? Steamboat: Luckily there was no permanent damage and so yes, I will be 100% ready to go. Reporter: Ricky, will you be mentally prepared? Especially after what Carlos Colon did to you. Steamboat: I honestly believe that wasn't the Carlos Colon I knew. I think he had a lot of built up frustration and it was just to much. Colon: (Interrupting) Are you saying I snapped and lost it? Are you saying I went crazy? Let me tell you and all these disrespectful people out here something. I've never been more focused in my life and have never had this much clarity. I did what I did to send a message. Obviously it worked because here I am. Ricky Steamboat, the hard part is over. I got my shot and now all I have to do is defeat you and the AWA world title will be mine! Steamboat: Hold on one second. Yes, you got my attention with that cowardly act but now you have to face me man to man. What you did will not get you this title. So Carlos, the hard part is not over. It hasn't even started. Reporter: Ricky... Colon: (Cuts him off and stands up) You see what I mean! All you leeches want to talk to Ricky. Nobody is showing me the proper respect that I deserve! Come SuperClash, I'm going to beat Ricky Steamboat and take my respect. Steamboat: You want some respect Carlos? Come and get it! Colon angrily walks towards Ricky. Ricky stands up. Verne, Jerry and several members of security get in between. Colon points and shouts to Steamboat. Steamboat nods and motions for Colon to come closer. Commercial Break Iceman Parsons vs. Clinton Stitch Parsons comes down the aisle as "Beat It" blasts over the speakers. Parsons is on fire tonight and wins the match with the Booty Bump! "Beat it" plays as the fans clap while Parsons dances. Commercial Break "Number One" Don Kernodle vs. Todd Rooney Kernodle is all business and wins the match with a reverse neckbreaker Resnick: Don Kernodle, I understand you've decided to speak to me today. I do want to ask. You issued a special challenge match to Iceman Parsons at SuperClash. What is your motive here? Kernodle: (Long pause) I came to the AWA because I heard all the top wrestlers were here. Well, when I arrived, you know what I saw? I saw a dancing clown name Iceman Parsons. What he does is an embarrassment to this sport. I had to do something about it. I'm going to teach him a lesson and that happens at SuperClash. And he won't be dancing when I get done with him. Commercial Break Giant Haystacks vs. Sam Smith and Arnie Goldstein Haystacks destroys both men, then slams Goldstein down. Picks up Smith and slams him on Goldstein. Haystacks backs up and hits a big elbow drop for the easy pin. Resnick: Giant Haystacks, that was nothing short of devastating. At SuperClash, you and El Canek will meet in a colossal rematch. This all started back in April. Will SuperClash finally be the end? Haystacks: Did you just see what I did?! You ask me if SuperClash will be the end? It will be the end of El Canek! I promise you! Haystacks storms out of there. Resnick: Ok, there you have it....wait a minute, it looks like Gino Brito Jr. and Richard Charland are coming over. Gentlemen, is there something you want to say? Brito: Resnick, because the Wrecking Machine likes you so much, we wanted you to be the first to hear our big announcement. At SuperClash, myself and Richard Charland are going to enter the tag team battle royal. It's easy money and then the world titles will be ours. What a night it will be. They exit as Charland bumps Resnick. Commercial Break National Tag Team Title Tournament Semi Final Match The Olympians vs. Larry Zbyszko and Al Perez Pretty good evenly fought match. The Olympians frustrate Larry and Al by combining Rheingans technical skills and Bill's brute power. Larry and Al show off some good chemistry as well. A few minutes in and Olympians have control as Rheingans hits a gut wrench suplex on Perez and tags in Bill. Bill swings Perez to the ropes and clamps on the bear hug! Boos as The Union come out and yank Rheingans from the apron. Union pound away on Rheingans. Ross holds Rheingans as Huber picks up his sledgehammer and nails Rheingans in the gut! Union get out of there. Bill doesn't see what's going on as he continues to wrench away on Perez with the bearhug. Larry goes to the top rope and crashes down on Bill with a double axehandle. Larry and Perez hoist Bill up and double suplex him. Larry goes to his corner as Perez favors his back and tags him in. Larry runs in and executes a swinging neckbreaker on Bill 1..2..3! Larry Z and Al Perez advance to the finals at SuperClash Commercial Break "Rugged" Ron Garvin vs. Neil Jordan Garvin back drops Jordan and waits. Jordan staggers up and Garvin puts him down with a KO punch for the win. Resnick: Fans, earlier Larry Z and Al Perez advanced to the finals albeit with help from the Union. I understand Brad Rheingans is in the back with our medics. What an unfortunate incident. Ok, my guest at this time is Nick Bockwinkle. Nick, I know you're upset about not getting another world title bout and I can understand that. However I do disagree with you about you stating the lack of competition here in the AWA. Bock: Frankly I don't care if you disagree with me. It is a known fact that there isn't any AWA competition that's worth my time. I am a former world champion and I must say, the most technically gifted wrestler in the AWA. Nobody is in my league. Cheers as Ron Garvin walks out. Garvin: You know Nick, I've been listening to you and I have a solution. Since we both don't have a match at SuperClash, how about I give you some competition? Bock: (smiles) Are you seriously requesting a match with me? Didn't you just come up short in your bid for the National title? Why should I take you seriously? Garvin: Well, didn't you come up short in your world title bid? Maybe we both have something to prove. Bock: (ponders this) Mr. Garvin, you bring up a valid point. I will indeed accept your challenge. Garvin extends his hand Garvin: May the best man win Bock shakes his hand. Bock: I intend to do just 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 SuperClash update by yours truly. Oh boy do I have some bombshell matches to announce. After what went down in Milwaukee, Austin Idol will defend his National title against Jerry Lawler. I understand this match will be under NO DQ, NO C.O. rules. You all saw last week when Kerry Brown attacked Jerry Blackwell. Those two have signed to meet at SuperClash. Here's a big one. Blackjack Mulligan will face The Dream Machine in a bullrope match aaannnd if Mulligan wins he gets a 5 minute bullrope match with Paul Jones. Also, The Great Gagne will defend his TV title against Scott Putski. I have comments from the TV champ himself. Let's hear them now. Gagne and Johnny Valiant are standing in front of a SuperClash banner. Valiant: Scott Punkski, you have to be the luckiest man walking the face of the earth. Gagne: Listen up Punkski! You got a couple lucky wins but let me tell you something right now, when this title is on the line this pro is coming to play. Our match will separate the pros from the greenhorns. Britton: My money's on Gagne. That's not it. Just listen to this announcement. The AWA has signed Japan's two top stars. Jumbo Tsuruta and Tatsumi Fujinami will team up and compete in the 100,000 dollar battle royal and don't forget, the winners get a world title shot later that night. Just remember, I have all the biggest scoops in the world. Until next week tooooodles. Commercial Break AWA World Tag Team Title Bout Priceless (C) vs. ??? Boos as Priceless enter the ring wearing black suits, sunglasses and fedora hats. They hold up their titles as Morrow grabs the announcer's mic. Morrow: AHHH so good to be back in de ring. We want to get dis over with because we are on a never ending celebration. Tonight out of de kindness of our hearts, we will defend our prestigious world titles against a top rank team. You may announce them. A confused reaction as Vic Dutro and Willie Lopez walk out. During the match it's very noticeable that Priceless have put on some weight and look very sluggish. Dutro and Lopez even give them some scares. In the end Morrow(from the apron) nails Dutro with a forearm to the back as Wells finishes him off with a spear. Resnick: It looks to me like the champs may be partying a bit to much. They better be ready come SuperClash when they have to defend the titles against the battle royal winners. Commercial Break "Lone Star" Brian Adias vs. Carl Kellerman Adias looks crisp tonight and wins the match with a Russian Legsweep. Adias cuts a promo and says he beat Hennig once and he'll do it again, man to man at SuperClash! Commercial Break Blackjack Mulligan vs. William Hillman Mulligan wins the match with a diving back elbow smash! Mulligan grabs his bullrope and heads to ringside. Resnick: Ok Blackjack, you and Dream Machine in a bullrope match at SuperClash and if you win you get a 5 minute bullrope match with Paul Jones. Mulligan: (Gripping his bullrope) I warned you Paul Jones! I can't wait for SuperClash! I'm going to wrap this around Dream's neck and choke the life out of him and then I'm going to do worse to you Jones! I hope you both hear me loud and clear! Commercial Break Resnick: I'm joined by Vinnie Valentino and his family (Timothy Flowers and Art Crews) I understand we're going to see your new acquisition momentarily in the ring. Vin: Oh Rezzy, I told you a Pitbull was coming and I told you we were going after the biggest in the AWA. Last week everybody saw what he did to Jerry Fatwell. And there's more to come at SuperClash. Introducing the newest Vin Man Family member, Pitbull Kerry Brown! "Pitbull" Kerry Brown w/The Vin Man vs. Paul Camry Brown destroys his opponent before finishing him off with a high knee off the ropes! After the match Vinnie and the Family hug and welcome Kerry in. Commercial Break Footage from Milwaukee is shown as Idol tries to use a fireball but Lawler kicks it in the side if Idol's head for the win. Lance: Before we get to our main event, I wanted to take you to comments by Austin Idol and then I'll be speaking with Jerry Lawler. Idol is in a medical facility. Idol: Look at my neck! (Neck has burn marks) Lawler! You did this! You animal! You scarred me! I swear on everything that matters to me, at SuperClash I'm going to make sure you never show your face in the AWA again! I swear it! Lance: Very heated words from Austin Idol. I'm here with Jerry Lawler. Jerry, you get your National title shot at SuperClash and it will be a No DQ, No C.O. match. I know things have escalated to an all time high between you two and with these stipulations, this match will be brutal. Lawler: Hey, that idiot Idol brought the fire and it literally backfired. Idol is a coward which is why I requested the No DQ, No C.O. stipulations. Idol! We're going to fight it out the old fashion way. You can't run and you can't hide. Nothing can save your ass this time! Commercial Break Match 5 of the Best of 7 series- Fabs lead 3-1 The Rock n Roll Express vs. The Fabulous Ones The action is at an all time high. The Fabs are trying desperately to put the series away but RnR are hanging tough. After several pier six brawls and a few minutes later, another brawl breaks out. Keirn is pounding away on Morton in the corner while Lane is going to town on Gibson. The Fabs swing RnR towards each other but RnR reverse it and swing the Fabs into each other. Fabs stumble back. RnR hit stereo atomic drops! The Fabs collide and stumble back as RnR dropkick them back into each other. Morton rolls up Keirn 1..2..3! Huge Pop!

MACW continues to deliver some outstanding house shows. Renegade Warriors and Andersons defiantly gave the fans a special attraction. Damn! Flair vs. Savage in a cage! JJ is really earning his money. "Pretty" Paul arrives. Rockers get back on the winning track by taking down the Russians. That Nikita/Bart match must of been hard hitting. Harts are having a pretty good run. I would've gotten my money's worth with that tag bullrope match. Well, Gaylord's streak comes to an end at the hands of Tully. No shame in that. LOL, I guess I can't blame the Andersons for walking out. Looked like the Road Warriors had their number.

Bigelow looks strong. Can he keep that up against Masked Avenger? Looks like the Thundercats are not quite heel enough. Black Tiger is becoming a star in Pacific. I wonder what's going on with Badd Co.? Windham takes down number 1 henchman Easy Ed. After a pretty damn good feud we get a steel cage blow off. Oh man I thought St. Clair had it but the ever clever Rose pulls out all the tricks for the win. I'm seriously looking forward to the Hector/Pillman battleground match. All 3 Guerreros are on a win streak. Trouble brewing between Smothers and Hollywood Jack. I have a feeling the Bomb Squad might be branching out soon. That 6 man tag team draw had the fans on the edge of their seats. Bubba and Brian go hard for the TV title and then Chris Adams plays spoiler. Adams vs. Adams coming up. Things are really heating up for San Diego Battleground.

As always, Continental delivers a fun and entertaining tournament. The Great Al Madril and Slink get some payback on Pride. Things get heated between Slick and Fuller but they seemed to resolve things by Golden's match. Billy Joe Travis had a pretty good run until he met Olympia's DDT. I knew those Rich's wouldn't leave Bullet alone. Nightmares win the titles!!! But wait, there's more. Tommy goes nuts and takes out his cousins. Could this be the end of the Rich's? Or maybe the beginning of a Tommy Rich NWA world title run. Olympia defeats Golden to win the Southeastern title! Nice touch with the belly to belly suplex and JYD coming out to congratulate him. The Olympia/Stubbs storyline has been one of the best in the game. Great night of action! Can't wait for Halloween Havoc!

Condrey gets some momentum going heading into San Diego. I think Orton has a pretty good plan here by getting under Gilbert's skin before their big showdown. Badd Co. really had a hard time without Missy. Cameron gets the best of Gantner in a brutal match. I had no idea who would win the battle royal. A lot of personal vendettas clashing. Windham overcomes the odds and sends OMG over the top to earn a shot at the title. Rose vs. Windham...OH YEA! Another 2 night extravaganza coming up. Damn, look at those matches signed. This is going to be AWESOME!

WOW! The Halloween Havoc tournament is for all the marbles! Winner walks out with the NWA World title! That's not it as a new Southeastern champ will be crowned on Monday. Chicky's Corporation is suspended. When they return, they'll have The American Dream waiting for them. LOL! I knew Slick and the Fullers would be gold together. I can't wait to see the suit Slick buys. Dundee is pumped up and ready for the tournament and Jimmy Golden. AWWWW Man, I really wanted to hear a song by Billy Joe. "Just a" swinging neckbreaker, nice touch. Bullet is a favorite to win the tournament unless the Rich's get in his face. It's not everyday somebody gets the better of Al in a verbal battle but Street accomplishes it. I'm sensing this isn't over. Not a bad week for Tyree. Desperados get the lashes and I'm sure the Nightmares loved every minute. Where was Bruno? Nice hype vignette of Furnas. These always did a great job of introducing new faces to the territory. Fun lottery surprise as Tom Zenk gets the TV title shot. The tag partners go the limit and follow with good sportsmanship.

Very classy statement from Watts. "Rock n Roll" Rock n Roll" Rock n Roll" RPM's getting some nuclear heat. Both Freebirds qualify for the battle royal. However, Jimmy Jam has a serious distraction on his hands. Jake takes a beating but DDT's his way to the battle royal. Ladd once again brings up valid points and gets his fine doubled for it. LOL, I never get tired of the Ladd/Watts saga. Adnan and the Superstars owe Fergie a percentage for that win. Gordy advances as chaos ensues! Crippler's in big trouble with Casey on his tail. As for Kendo and Tojo, it looks like Casey has some hard hitting friends backing him up. Whoever wins the stacked battle royal, defiantly earns their spot in the tournament.

Savanah superkicks his way to another win. Spivey's powerbomb is devastating. Hart's and Brutha's are at a stalemate. Nobody gets up from Kamala's Air Africa and it takes a lot to put Jaggers down. The mist strikes again. Thanks to Foley's helmet, the Commonwealth pull out a big win over the Rockers. Oh man, I had a bad feeling about this. Sullivan comes prepared as a new goon helps him win the TV title. I hope MACW television is ready for this reign of terror. The fans get their money's worth with a classic Tully/Harley 45 minute draw.

SD Jones gets the crowd hopping with an energetic win. SD will thrive here. The semi finals are set. Glamor Boys hype up their match with longtime rivals, the Highwaymen. I'm so glad both teams found their way to Florida. Looks like Perez is in hot water with Humperdink and Santana. I think Perez might of bitten off more than he can chew by challenging the SPC. Kazaharu is quickly making a name for himself here. Akbar is playing a huge role in that. LOL, Solie getting a little sassy. The Fabulous Blondes make an appearance! Ripper and Chick Magnet. The Blonde train. Man, these guys are great. Their match with Good and Plenty is going to rock! WHOA! Things get serious as Sawyer and Borne give Spoiler a brutal beating! These two are running wild! Who will be brave enough step up to them? Good ol Hacksaw Duggan ends the show on a high note by challenging Herc to a chain match. That match will sell out an arena for sure. Florida is settling in nicely.

AWA @ The Milwaukee Auditorium 10-24-86 "Number One" Don Kernodle defeated Steve O with a Reverse Neckbreaker Giant Haystacks defeated 3 Local Talents when he piled them up and crashed down with a big elbow drop Lightning Strike and The Union battled to a 10 minute draw "Rugged" Ron Garvin defeated "The Wrecking Machine" Richard Charland w/Gino Brito- Gavin hit a sunset flip from the top rope to get the pin. Afterwards Brito tried to attack Garvin but Garvin slammed him down and followed with a Garvin stomp. Charland came at Garvin but was knocked out with a KO punch. Match 4 of the best of 7 series- Fabs lead 2-1 The Rock n Roll Express vs. The Fabulous Ones Of course these teams once again put on a tag team clinic. After 30 minutes of seesaw action, RnR is in control as they double back drop Keirn. Lane charges in and gets double clotheslined over the top rope. Keirn staggers up and gets double dropkicked! Gibson covers but the Ref tells him Morton is the legal man. While the Ref guides Gibson back, Lane runs in and nails Morton with a super kick to the back of his head! Gibson runs in and pounds away on Lane. Keirn rolls over and covers Morton as the Ref counts 1..2..3! BOOOOO! Fabs now lead 3-1 Blackjack Mulligan defeats The Dream Machine by DQ- Mulligan nailed Dream with his diving back elbow smash. When Mulligan covered, Jones ran in and hit Mulligan with a bull rope causing the DQ. Jones starts choking Mulligan with the bull rope. Mulligan rises with Jones on his back, backs up full speed and rams Jones into the turnbuckles. Mulligan starts punching Jones. Dream comes from behind and hits Mulligan. Dream grabs the bull rope and chokes away on Mulligan. Jones eventually staggers up. Jones and Dream swing Mulligan to the ropes and double clothesline him with the bull rope! AWA National Champ "The Universal Heartthrob" Austin Idol vs. Jerry "The King" Lawler If Lawler wins he will get a National Title shot. Nothing pretty here as these guys pretty much just punch away on each other. At the 15 minute mark, Lawler is in control as he vertical suplexes Idol and follows with an elbow drop 1..2..Kick Out. Lawler swings Idol to the ropes and knocks him down with a big right punch. Idol staggers up, Lawler grabs him and swings him to the ropes, on his way back Idol and the Ref collide. The Ref takes a big bump and goes down. Lawler is checking in the Ref. Idol rolls over and pulls something out of his pants, then starts fiddling with something. Wait a minute! Idol has a lighter. He starts flicking it and lights something on fire. Lawler turns his attention towards Idol and heads over. Idol rises and is set to fireball Lawler but Lawler kicks his hands at the last second! The fireball hits the side of Idol's face! Idol goes down flailing and covering his head. Lawler covers. The Ref slowly crawls over and counts 1..2..3! Jerry Lawler gets a National Title shot!

Velvet and Medusa go all out until chaos ensues. Nice visual of Velvet and Medusa forming an impromptu alliance to fight off the monsters. Another hot tag match. My favorite part was the post match when Pardue throws a bucket of water at the heels. That's good television. Fun battle royal as each woman get to shine. I thought Babyface was going to pull off the underdog upset but not tonight as the red hot Moretti wins it and retains her many titles. WWW has some serious momentum going!

Props to you, Mid South and Continental for doing such a great job working together under the NWA banner. Gaylord continues to get over. Youngblood's arrive to TV! Solid promo and a very nice tribute to Jay. Jay was defiantly a Mid Atlantic favorite. Luger is pumped up and even puts his TV title on the line in an open challenge match. I wonder which one of the Spectral hand will accept. Bold move for Luger. Harts get a good TV win. Can they continue this momentum against Brutha's in Arms? Slater's the man! Can't wait for next week's non physical encounter between Dibiase/Williams and the Andersons. Renegade Warriors are off to a great start taking down the RnR Phantoms. LOL, what a great name. I'm sure the fans in Albany will pack the house. Embry ends the show with a big win over long time favorite Mr. Wrestling 2. All roads lead to Halloween Havoc!

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 10-22-86 Show opens with footage from 2 weeks ago when Carlos Colon snapped and attacked Steamboat. That's followed by last week's comments from both men. Jerry Jarrett is sitting in his office with a SuperClash poster behind him. Jarrett: As you all know, the AWA will present SuperClash on November 26th at the St. Paul Civic Center. This extravaganza will also be available on closed circuit TV throughout all AWA arenas. During the past week, myself, Verne Gagne and members of the AWA board have decided that at SuperClash, Ricky Steamboat will defend the AWA world title against Carlos Colon. Furthermore, next week from Minnesota, there will be a press conference involving both Steamboat and Colon, along with several members from the media. The AWA is very excited about SuperClash and it promises to be the event of the year. Brenda Britton will be on later with another SuperClash update. Enjoy tonight's show. Lance Russell: Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of AWA Major League Wrestling. Well you just heard the blockbuster announcement. I for one am very interested in hearing comments from both Steamboat and Colon at next week's press conference. Last week you heard Steamboat tell Colon, he will get another shot. Well, that shot takes place at SuperClash. We've got a big show lined up tonight. 2 more opening round National tag title tournament matches. Greg Gagne and Scott Putski will have a rematch and if Putski wins, he will get a TV title shot. Also on the program will be Nick Bockwinkle, The Dream Machine, Jerry Blackwell, Curt Hennig, Ox Baker's entire stable will be in 6 man action. And El Canek returns from his tour of Mexico. That and a lot more, so lets get to the ring. El Canek vs. Neil Jordan Canek shows off both his wrestling skills and power. Canek swings Jordan to the ropes and hits a sidewalk slam. Canek presses Jordan above his head and drops him with a Military Press Slam/Backbreaker for the win! Canek looks into the camera and yells " Voy por ti Haystacks!" Commercial Break 1st Round National Tag Team Title Tournament Match Gold Standard vs. Karachi Vice Gold Standard start off hot as they use their strength and power. Kiniski swings Gama to the ropes and back drops him, then tags in Kelly. Gold Standard swing Gama to the ropes and put him down with a double back elbow smash. Makhan charges in but Gold Standard double scoop slams him down. Kelly hits a standing leg drop on Gama but the Ref is guiding Kiniski to his corner. Makhan goes for a cheap shot but Kelly kicks him, picks up Gama and knocks their heads together. Gama spins around and gets punched by Kiniski (from the apron) Kelly clamps a Full Nelson on Gama and twirls him around. Makhan charges and nails Kelly with a forearm blast to the back of the head. Kiniski runs in but the Ref guides him back which allows Makhan to drag Gama to the corner. Makhan tags himself in. Kelly staggers up as Makhan clotheslines him down 1..2..Kick Out. Makhan swings Kelly into the corner and charges in but Kelly moves, dives over and tags in Kiniski. Kiniski's on fire as he hammers away on Makhan and dropkicks him down. Gama runs in and gets dropkicked down. Makhan staggers up, Kiniski grabs him and quickly cradles him 1..2..Gama breaks it. Kelly runs in and pounds away on Gama. The Ref grabs Kelly and guides him back. Kiniski picks up Makhan but Gama runs over and clips him behind the knee. Makhan falls on top as the Ref runs over and counts 1..2..(Gama gets up as Kelly mows him over) 3! Kelly realizes what just happened. He picks up Makhan and swings him into Gama, which sends them tumbling through the ropes. Kelly checks on Kiniski while glaring out at Karachi Vice. Karachi Vice advances. Commercial Break Nick Bockwinkle vs. Sam Smith Bock is aggressive tonight as he works over Smith's leg before finishing him off with an Indian Deathlock. Resnick: Nick Bockwinkle, another tremendous win. Bock: Of course it was. Right now one could say, I'm not in the best of moods. I was in line for another shot at the AWA world title but was told I would have to wait because Mr. Steamboat is at home healing his injured neck. Mr. Steamboat, life is hard when you're a champion. If you cannot take it then do the right thing and relinquish the title. Resnick: Come on now, that's a bit unfair. Bock: What's unfair is the severe lack of competition here in the AWA. It's laughable. A man of my caliber should be in world title contention at all times. I would hardly call the competition here world title worthy. I will need to revaluate things until proper competition comes my way. My time should not be wasted. Good day. Commercial Break The camera zooms in on the glowing "SuperClash" sign then pans down to Brenda Britton. Britton: Hi everybody and welcome to another SuperClash update hosted by yours truly. Well looks like that attention craving Jerry Jarrett already revealed the big main event. I'm going to have a long talk with him about stealing my spotlight. How dare he do that. Anyways, at SuperClash, Ricky Steamboat will defend the AWA world title against Carlos Colon. I do have to say, that is a blockbuster of a main event. If you ask me, I should host that press conference next week. As I told you last week, the earth shattering rematch between El Canek and Giant Haystacks has also been signed. I've also been told that the winners of the SuperClash tag team battle royal wont have to wait long for their world title opportunity. Because they will receive their shot that night at SuperClash! That's great but I hope they're satisfied with the prize money because I don't think they're going to beat my favorite team Priceless. I'm calling that right now. Also signed for SuperClash will be Curt Hennig taking on Brian Adias. Things have gotten heated between the two former world tag team champions. I understand this next match is a special challenge match as Don Kernodle issued a challenge to Iceman Parsons. Parsons accepted so the match is official. I wonder what's going on there? I promise more matches to be announced next week. And don't forget, singing the National Anthem will be none other than Linda Ronstadt. The AWA finally got a celebrity almost as big as me. Ok, until next week, toooodles. Commercial Break TV Champ "The Great" Gagne w/Johnny Valiant vs. Scott "Powerhouse" Putski If Putski wins, he gets a TV title shot Gagne is a bit more focused tonight as he outwrestles Putski in the opening minutes. It didn't take long for Gagne to start showing his arrogance. Gagne clamps on a headlock and starts slapping the top of Putski's head. Valiant applauds him as Gagne nods and smiles. The smile disappears as Putski hoists Gagne up and executes a back suplex. The fans go wild and cheer Putski on. Both men rise, Gagne swings but Putski ducks and atomic drops Gagne. Gagne staggers as Putski clotheslines him over the top rope. Valiant runs over and comforts Gagne while yelling up at Putski. Putski goes to the outside. Valiant gets in his face then slaps him!

Boos as Idol comes out and gives the camera a bicep shot while holding the title up with his other arm. Resnick: Ok, Austin, Lawler's beaten 2 of your picks. Myself and the fans want to know, who's your 3rd pick? Idol: You know Resnick, there's an old saying, if you want something done right then darling, you've got to do it yourself! Loser Lawler! I said you weren't getting another shot and brother you're not. I can guarantee that. (Looks at Resnick) You know why? Resnick: No, why? Idol: Of course you don't. Because I'm his next opponent!

You'll be taking on your former partner Brian Adias at SuperClash. Let's not forget, he does have a win over you. Hennig: Oh very funny Rezhead. That was nothing but a fluke. Come SuperClash, that far from awesome Brian Adias is going to know what it's like being in the ring with a gifted and flawless wrestler. I'm going to embarrass and humiliate him in front of millions. I'm the true superstar in the AWA and don't you (polks his finger in Resnick's chest), Adias or anybody else forget that!

Have I told you how much I love Busick's Spinebuster slam. OMG takes down young double J. Severn and Finlay is a brawl for sure. That was an impressive moveset by Candido to put Tanaka away. Brigade gets another confidence building win over Gary Hart's men. One of my favorite champions in the game (Tracy Smothers) retains. What a great run he's having.

MACW is rock'n the house show loops! Gaylord continues to rise the ladder. His spear is no joke. YES! Whatley and Conway are together again!!! I loved this team IRL and love this team in our game. Whoever booked the Road Warriors vs. Assassins and Sullivan vs. Stevens deserves a raise. These matches would of been a blast to watch. WOW! Renegade Warriors arrive and within days they are the NEW Mid Atlantic tag champs! Beating the Rougeau's is a huge accomplishment, especially after their epic heel run. The Renegade Warriors are over with the fans before they even get on TV. Great job!

Avenger takes down another Army member. Adams hate for Chris costs Vic the match. Vic gives Brian a talk and they part as friends. Will these old rivals form an alliance? Hector pulls out a nice finish for the victory. Is Pillman next? Black Gold keep racking up the wins. Thundercats try to fight fire with fire but the Midnight's were one step ahead. Windham shows off his intensity with that win over Miller. Rose gets the DQ win but St. Clair sends him running. LOL, good way to end the night.

HAHAHAHA! What a way to start the night as Pride gets over both Slink and Madril. This catapults Pride to another level. Zenk and Taylor get a nice win over Sherri's Super D's. Sherri gets her heat back quick and helps Prichard retain. At least Welch can always count on family to lift his spirits. Jason gives Cooley quite a beatdown with his axe. Nightmares get the win but those Desperados got out of there quick. One way or another those Desperados are going to get those lashes. 6 man elimination brought the heat. Oh man, Slick with the Stud Stable? Continental will never be the same. Street and Poffo tear the house down! I loved the write up here. From the weird and uncomfortable bantering to one hard hitting blood bath. Story telling at its best. Great finish as Street sends Poffo packing. The visual of Man carrying out Poffo was icing on the cake. That's how you blow a feud off. YES! Olympia is back! NO! Abdullah is here! What a shocking ending. Chicky's corporation has now taken out Dusty, JYD and Olympia. The Rich's have serious competition for top heel heat. WOW!

Nice!

I think Bleh is on to something. A Tommy Rich NWA world title run in this game would be nothing short of epic!

Pacific is defiantly the place for TNT. Pillman takes out Mando. I'm looking forward to another Pillman/Hector match. A lot at stake between the Midnight's and Brits. YES! San Diego Battleground is coming! Props to Cornette, the man can talk. Crazy Gang wins a battle tonight but more to come in San Diego. Young Douglas looks impressive but the champ pulls it out. Can't wait to find out who Rose is defending against in San Diego.

Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka defeated Billy Jack Haynes w/Ox Baker- Ox was on the apron as Snuka pushed Haynes into him and rolled him up for the win. The celebration was short lived because The Beasts of Burden hit the ring and attacked Snuka. Haynes and Ox joined in. Ox held up Snuka as Haynes put a chair in front of his face. The Beasts then nailed Snuka with stereo boots, smashing the chair in his face! They left Snuka a bloody mess.

Jerry "The King" Lawler vs. "The Wrecking Machine" Richard Charland w/Gino Brito Jr. Brito and Charland promised Austin Idol, Lawler wouldn't make it to a National Title shot.

Charland staggered back into a German Suplex by Lawler 1..2..3! Brito ran in to protest but Lawler punched him through the ropes. 2 down and 1 to go for a National Title shot. AWA National Title Bout "The Universal Heartthrob" Austin Idol (C) vs. "Rugged" Ron Garvin Obviously Idol is distracted by Lawler's win because he can't seem to get it together against Garvin. Garvin is all over Idol and gets several near falls on him. Garvin slams Idol and follows up with the Garvin stomp. Garvin backs up and kisses his hand. Idol staggers up and Garvin nails Idol with his knockout punch! Idol stumbles back and through the ropes. The Ref is keeping Garvin from going out after him. Finally as the Ref starts his count, Idol pulls a pair of brass knuckles out of his tights. Idol slowly gets on the apron. Garvin charges over. Idol takes a swing but Garvin ducks and back suplexes Idol back into the ring but while in the air, Idol punches down on Garvin's head with the brass knuckles. Garvin collapses with idol on top 1..2..3! Massive boos. But wait! Here comes Jerry Lawler! Lawler is telling the Ref what happened. They're in an intense conversation. While Idol is taking off his brass knuckles, Lawler goes over and grabs his arm, then shows the Ref. The fans go crazy as the Ref reverses his decision and awards the match to Garvin via DQ. Idol throws a tantrum and goes after Lawler but Lawler tags him with several Memphis punches and sends him flying with a big right punch. Idol rolls out of the ring, grabs his title and runs off. Lawler helps up Garvin and raises his arm. Winner of the match by DQ- Ron Garvin. However. Austin Idol remains National Champ.

Bassarab gets the night going with an electrifying win. Barbarian had one of the best big boot finishes in the business. Brutha's and El Santo score some pretty big wins. Nothing solved between Luger and Sullivan Nobody gets up from the Russian Sickle! Not the best move for the Assassin. Dream match main event! Finally JJ's shoe tactic backfires. Fans go home very happy.
